Welcome to NTM Nightly. I am Jesse Leance. This edition's top stories, adherence to protocols, help health officials detect a new case of COVID-19. Early childhood centres resume full operation, vending COVID-19 approval, and employees of the St. Lucia Marketing Board gain valuable training in food safety. On Tuesday, September 8th, 2020, St. Lucia recorded a new case of COVID-19. The individual is a 27-year-old male visitor who arrived in St. Lucia on Sunday, September 6th, 2020. Chief Medical Officer Dr Sharon Belmar George says the adherence to the established protocols caused health officials to order the retesting of the visitor. On arrival, he went through the necessary screening and proceeded to a COVID-19 approved accommodation. However, it should be noted that where health authorities have reason to require additional testing in country, this is undertaken, as obtained with this traveller. Within our national protocol for visitors and nationals, there is consideration for retesting. The Ministry of Health and Wellness has commenced contact tracing from last night, and this is continued into today to ensure that all contacts are identified and the required interventions will be undertaken to manage the risk of exposure. The Ministry of Health, we are working closely with the hotel's management to ensure that all of the measures are in place to minimize transmission to hotel workers and to guests. We provide further information on the progress of this case as our reports come in. Dr Belmar George reminds the public that the opening of the economy presents the risk of COVID-19 cases. As most sectors open and restrictions are reduced, the public is advised to take personal responsibility to protect themselves, their families and the public in general from exposure to the COVID-19 virus. The public is also advised that protocols are still in place. These include the use of face masks in public and maintaining the recommended six foot physical distance guidelines. That was Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belmar George. The Salution Bureau of Standards, along with the manufacturer of real refined coconut oil and magic refined coconut oil, have advised of the withdrawal of certain batches of coconut oil which are non-compliant with the compulsory national standard SLNS-25 2017 specification for coconut oil. This withdrawal affects all real refined coconut oil which carries the batch number codes BN037, BN039 and BN040, all magic refined coconut oil which carries the codes BN030, BN036, BN037 and BN040 and any product which may have an illegible code. Customers are advised not to consume the affected products bearing the codes. The Coconut Factory Provost Foods is cooperating fully with the Bureau of Standards in resolving all concerns relating to this matter. The company has instructed all outlets which carry the brand to remove the affected batch of oil from their shelves. Distribution of new batches of the oil has ceased until full inspection and certification by the St. Lucia Bureau of Standards. The company is working with the Bureau to determine the definitive cause of the problem and once the Bureau's assessment process is complete, a full statement will be released to the public on the status of the company's coconut oil. The Department of Education has permitted all early childhood centres to resume their operations pending final approval of their COVID-19 response plans by the Environmental Health Unit. We have a report on that update and others from the Ministry of Education. In acknowledging concerns over the early childhood centres in the COVID-19 environment, Chief Education Officer Dr Fiona Philip Meyer has disclosed that all daycares and preschools with application spending at the Environmental Health Department have been granted provisional permission to reopen. Well I was pleased yesterday to have received an email where provisional approval had been given to many of our schools. Earlier this about two weeks ago we spoke about the process with Environmental Health coming in to inspect the schools, to inspect the early childhood centres, noting that the majority of our early childhood centres are private entities and so even the physical structure where they are, some of them are down since a particular home, all of them have structures, they may be in a larger building, so all of that have been taken into consideration. Dr Philip Meyer shows that this provisional approval was granted based on the early childhood centre plans to mitigate COVID-19 risk. They have actually sent in all of their plans, so all of the ones that have gotten approval, they've sent in their plans and Environmental Health is constantly going out. We can appreciate that the number of centres that they have but based on their plans and based on the structures presented including the hand washing stations, you know, the sanitising, the ratio of adults to children, they have been given approval to reopen. A couple days into the new school term Dr Philip Meyer says she has been giving school administrators the opportunity and space to fit into the new routine. I was purposeful in my interaction with educators yesterday and early today because I really wanted a sense of calm. I think and I appreciate that this is a new situation for everyone, very different, but I really wanted the positive energy and allowing the educators, the administrators to settle in. I've been in constant contact with the education officers, with some of our principals and we are keenly aware of what's happening on the ground. I have visited schools, I have not gone in, I have watched them from a distance because I wanted to give them that space to be able to really settle. The reports are good. Much to her satisfaction, rehabilitation work at schools with delayed openings have progressed as scheduled. The Monropo, Paseus combined, Dennery Primary and Larissus combined schools had delayed openings on Wednesday, September 9th and the Interpo secondary, Moshi combined and Lezitan combined schools will reopen on Monday, September 14th. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leance reporting. Employees of the St. Lucia Marketing Board have gained valuable training in food safety at the close of a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point program. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Cooperatives hosted a closing ceremony for staff of the newly remodeled Pack House at the Marketing Board who completed the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, HAASAP training. The training that was held for a duration of six weeks is an international standard for food safety which seeks to improve the production of agricultural produce in St. Lucia. The training forms part of a collaborative effort with the Taiwan Technical Mission and ICA and falls under the enhancement of the efficiency of production, distribution supply chains in the fruits and vegetables sector project with the overall aim of reducing the food import bill. Adeline Yurovik, Project Coordinator of the Seven Crops Project, congratulated the staff on a job well done. I'm very pleased by the feedback I have been hearing so far for the time of the training and it's very encouraging. And if you look around you can see the many posters which is testament to the different knowledge that has been imparted from our facilitator Mr. Edmund. I encourage you to put everything you learn into practice and to keep on the same energy and the same enthusiasm that you've got during the time of the training and congratulations to all the graduates on a job very well done. Head of the Taiwan Technical Mission in St. Lucia, Mario Chen, expressed gratitude to the participants of the HASAP training. Chen noted that the initiative is geared towards ensuring that local crops are of the highest quality. We have to make sure that every very step, the full risk is very small so that here is no risk from e-local crops from the marketing board. The person who will train will monitor this at very step. In addition to this training the Taiwan Technical Mission has begun providing the marketing board with the packaging materials that have a seed cell to increase. As we all know this increase goes back directly to the farmers as they mend for their crops. This training is only the first step in becoming HASAP certified. Greg Rawlins, representative of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, ICA in the Eastern Caribbean states, explained that ICA will continue to work with the marketing board to improve the standards and quality of produce. We are now seeking to see how we can build upon the very work that's already been done and we will therefore be working with the Solution Marketing Board. We've already had very constructed discussions with them. We'll be preparing the standard operating procedures for the House so that not only would you have been exposed to training that allows you to understand the principles of food safety and handling produce and so on but you would have standard operating procedures for the House that would guide and ensure that you adhere to the standards that have been established. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, HASAP training, was held on Friday, September 4th, 2020. From the Government Information Service, I am Anisia Antoine reporting. The Government of St Lucia, along with several partners and donor agencies, have launched the Enabling Gender Responsive Disaster Recovery, Climate and Environmental Resilience in the Caribbean project, more commonly referred to as the Engender Project. We'll get the details in this report. One of the outputs of the project is the repurposing of US $100,000 to benefit women impacted by COVID-19. During the press launch at the studios of the Government Information Service, Director of Gender Relations, Miss Janie Joseph, described it as one of the few bright, beautiful moments in this time of much uncertainty and despair brought on by the economic and social impacts of the global COVID pandemic. This, as she said, thank you to the partners and donors. We are here to say thank you and to raise awareness of an initiative that adds to the numerous strides that the Government of St Lucia has made in its COVID-19 response. You will hear how St Lucia has approached the COVID response under this project, and you will appreciate why gender responsive planning changes outcomes and better enable us to achieve our developmental goal of leaving no one behind. In delivering the opening remarks, Honorable Guy Joseph, Minister for Economic Development, Housing, Urban Renewal, Transport and Civil Aviation reflected on the impact that COVID has had on the economy and unemployment, with women in particular being the most affected. And talking about the unemployment situation brought about by COVID, our women would be the most impacted within that sector. Because of the number of persons employed in the jobs that are most affected, let's take the tourism sector as an example with all of our hotels closed. The number of parents, women, single mothers whose only means of income was through the tourism industry, those who have been vendors for all their lives, taking care of their family, all have been impacted. While St Lucia is focused on a very strong program of construction activity to help mitigate against the full impact of unemployment, we see that the women of this country would be the ones most impacted because they are least involved in the construction sector. And that is why I believe that this program today is one that is very vital, though it is targeted to a limited number of women in the society, but it is significant. Honourable Gail Rigabet, the Minister of Responsibility for Gender Relations, the department coordinating the process gave us a noxious of engender, which through this initiative will see 75 women receive income support, 8,000 masks for frontline workers distributed and psychological first aid training for 100 frontline workers. Through the government of St Lucia, the engender funded COVID-19 response has allocated 100,000 US dollars to support the implementation of income supplemental initiatives which will benefit women in the informal sector, women farmers and women living with disabilities. Assistance will also be provided to activities that tackle gender-based violence, such as online training in psychological first aid for essential workers, and the procurement and distribution of personal protective equipment to frontline workers who provide aid to women. The Canadian High Commission Barbados representative Steve Jautima had special commendations for the government of St Lucia. I do want to say a special thanks and how grateful I am to see the enormous commitment of the government of St Lucia in having three ministers present as well as high-level officials and civil society joining in person and online that really shows the level of commitment and ownership over these activities and of course the partnership with other donors and with the multilateral system and our great colleagues in the UN. The process for selection of persons who qualify for assistance was done through the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, Local Government and Empowerment. Minister the Honourable Leonard Spider Montoot indicated that working with a national coordinating team allowed his department to identify eligible persons through agencies such as the Women Support Shelter, the Family Court, the Welfare Service Unit, the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities and the Network of Rural Women Producers. The government of St Lucia applauded the Canadian government for the understanding of the increased vulnerability of the small island developing states of the Caribbean, including St Lucia, to bring practical, tangible benefits for the most vulnerable impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. From the Government Information Service, Rojvara Lawrence reporting. The OECS Commission and USAID through the Juvenile Justice Reform Project JJRP has implemented a capacity building intervention at the Boyce Training Centre in cinematography. Dove Productions Limited is the facilitator of the training program. The JJRP cinematography intervention will engage 12 boys at the Boyce Training Centre in various techniques of videography. This is an important step towards the social inclusion of a vulnerable community by way of improving their resilience through skill development. The Juvenile Justice Reform Program has been implemented in the region for over a decade starting in 2008 with phase one and continuing with phase two in October 2016. JJRP focuses on three components, diversion, rehabilitation and integration of children in conflict with the law. The project is being implemented in the six OECS independent member states, that is Antigua and Barbura, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines. Up next we have a primus Hutchinson with the NTN Nouvelle Aquian. Cut them loose. The anxieties. The worries. Open up to possibilities. Accept the uncertainties and cut them loose. The bitterness. The hopelessness. Plant a seed of hope in your mind. It will grow and flourish in time. Hold on a little longer. Life encourages you to grow. You have so much to offer. Look, tomorrow is waiting to say hello. Don't give up on yourself. Instead, reach out for help. Perhaps it's time to reach out to someone. Call the Health Helpline 203 toll free any time to speak to a professional. Welcome back. We now join Primus Hutchinson for the NTN Nouvelle Aquian. It's a great place. This is the school. The school is very clean. It's very small. It's easy to prepare. It's a good place to eat. It's a special way for the school for the teachers. It's a great place. It's a great school. It's a great place. It's a great place. It was easier to prepare your first English language than your previous language. I heard a lot of people go to the forest to do their homework. To start the workshop, Peck's Up places scenes for those who can't sign at the school. You have to clean up the fields quickly so that colleges can sanitize and clean their hands. We also want to remind our parents to do their best to make sure that they follow all these protocols. We advise them to start these restrictions on their own. We have a lot of schools that we want to visit. We have a lot of schools that we want to visit. We have Tirochet, Bexon, ABI, SDA, Hudson, and Clacomingo. The Ministry of Economic Development also told us that we need to bring the coronavirus to another location so that we can bring it to a different situation. In Japan, there are 7 national schools that have the highest level of health. There is a certain level of health that would be in place in the country to address all the problems in plays in the face of a disease in the world. So, the organization needs to be more designed to be able to deal with this type of situation. The organization needs to have a different equipment such as a computer, a system for Video Young We have made videos to help with the organization's capability to function. For this reason, the officers who are engaged in the organization can operate more easily after that. And then, the equipment that is in place, and that is why we have to move the assets to this place. Let's talk about COVID-19. We have an organization that can operate because there is a place that is open to continue communication connections and that is why we have to work with the officers who are engaged in the organization. And this is why we have to make videos to make it possible to facilitate more collaboration and this is why we have to analyze the work that is being done. And this is why we have to make it possible to support the information that is available to the public. We have to work with the officers who are engaged in the organization. And this is why we have to make videos to help the organization. And this is why we have to work with the officers who are engaged in the organization. Thank you for joining us for now, but do stay tuned for more NTN programming.

So, where can we go on to the stable release buff? I think what my intention was to discuss about the topics, questions that are open to stable points releases. There's some questions that are obviously open for my part of you, and that is how we deal with current security updates that have happened in Saas, but are going to be open to the last points release, because they need changes to the installer, but of course there are a lot of other things. The second stable release manager, Martin, is also listening to this buff by a previous beaming in the works, and I hope that if he has questions or things to say, then I'll always be doing it for him. Yes, no. If you want to talk about this, I just want to discuss about today, the size of the kernel update in the installer, which I'll just note down. So, it's their work topics, this tells them to me, and if I'm too fast speaking this way. So, what topics? I hope anything that comes to your mind now, they want to speak about it. The only way to start this is obviously last topic. So, do you want to start this last one? Is there anything you'd like to talk about about the kernel team? So, what's the issue? I think the fans could do it better, but basically the installer is part of the series, and then if you change the kernel, and you have these new jobs, there's good reason to do so, but then we have to build the installer. That's it. Specifically, if it's an ABI game change, which is what happened here, so the model is no longer compatible. Well, you could even leave the old installer in stable, but that would mean there's no longer a source version for those units in stable, which is not something we want to do, because it would keep me out. And it could make a source keepser? Yeah, that's been suggested, but that game gives you name conflicts, so it's not an obvious solution either. You could just take some sort of packages and upload them as a special package, which is an entity. Yeah, but that means a moment of preparation that we currently have. Also, it has been discussed before, and basically the outcome of those discussions have been we should update the ABI installer when there's a ABI change in the kernel. Unfortunately, having an ABI change in the kernel, kernel UDEPs means that current ABI installer images may break, some of them, those that are not self-contained, but download kernel UDEPs from the net as part of the installation. So usable that we want about that. The main issue at this point in time is that this is the first time we're going to be doing this, so the infrastructure is not in place. And what we basically needed was some extra space in the ABI package migration set up on the Mirror Master to allow us to get kernel UDEPs into stable proposed updates. That should be done now. It is done now. I checked just what you mean. They actually are in stable proposed. Yes, they are. Check out the builders, I just looked at FTP Master. Sorry. Which means that we now could start to build the ABI installer using step-post updates and then we need to get the borders of the different architectures to also rebuild the kernel UDEPs for their architecture which is currently going to require some coordination but should be able to go down very quickly. I have all machines, except for Spark, which you have, and WebSense is getting there. So I know the contract goes there. Okay, that's great. Something ends when uploading packages of proposed updates right now because there are no packages going to be proposed updates at all. They are starting to execute and the basic idea is that the Stabilize team gets access to the queue and can upload packages for the check-in service but the upload for the check-in part was not done yet. I hope that the system starts to speak but until then we can upload but they won't get it. Do you want to say this is the first time you've done this? First time you've done what? That move via testing? Yeah. Because it is a Stabilize team. Oh, it's Stabilize. There's just a point of it. It doesn't mean you have to go via testing. We have not had to do it because previous kernel updates have been without ADI changes which means that the kernel UDEPs were still compatible enough to just ignore it and security issues that will fix were not that relevant for an installer. So we have to just skip that basically. To bring Sasha to out we said we're just ignoring all the kernel stuff and we'll do it later. So all the intensity for R3 are only big topics in the kernel that have changes plus installer So that basically is the situation. I don't foresee any major problems. We should be able to use to be able to build the installer using testing proposal dates. The only problem is that we won't be able to test the installer very much. We will basically only be able to do the builds we used ourselves. And after the release has happened and the UDEPs have migrated to stable proper and these have been built we can then run the check of the installation from CD. Basically as far as I understand but as far as I understand the standard is if we do the proposal dates we can still test it afterwards to make sure it's not delayed. And it's not so far that we have to install it like it today on the release. That's correct. And the whole installer is supposed to be still continue to work. So we can say maybe it's a proposal date so new installation will appear. It will speak or whatever and it's all supposed to be still works as a proposal date. We will have to communicate this very clearly to our users so I would suggest using that announce for this. I don't have access to that I have to remember for the what was that? I should see in here who can kind of push it through. I can cry. I really think we should use that announce for this. And I think it should be the very first part of the release update made. And it should also be a permanent procession on the website. So we have to make sure of that. I don't expect it to go actually with the installer breaking unexpectedly because of this because the kernel still is basically the same. The kernel itself has been tested and nothing major has changed that could be expected to impact the installer. So from that point of view I don't really expect problems. One thing we might know is that Moritz and I are working on another kernel update so we can parallel. It's not an API change but that means that we'll be yet another kernel image out there when this happens probably. Will that be ready before RC3 or is it targeted for after RC3? What's the date for RC3? The date is going to be pushed back because we have not had these kernel units to stay with Moritz updates. Who had anything else finalized today? Okay, so I think that means that we can use the current RC386 kernel unit system for post-properties to do the test build of the installer, see how it works and if the new kernel updates are pushed in then we should do a rebuild for all architecture in RC386 using those new ones so we can do the coordinates with the newest security updates. Sounds good to you? Okay. One thing I would think is for future API problems that we're running to it would be an idea to put an API number into the kernel module that you have so that they have API. So then how can we add going to auto-detect that if your CD is broken you can't install some kind of skeleton. That does happen. Okay, so it is clearly already told to the user when they try to do it? If they use an old network image for an old fully-based installation then they will be told the installer cannot find a kernel unit matching the running kernel do you want to continue you allowed to but you probably won't have enough with anything that's remotely useful? Yeah, I don't know how many users would understand that as much as you need to download a new CD or something like that. Can't find a kernel unit please check for new installer. Yeah. We could possibly do that. Of course not. Of course not. Yeah, but not for a single. I know we couldn't do it for such a big translation I think so. I was wondering. But it could be done immediately. Yeah. There is one other issue with the installer. Yeah. That's only relevant for alpha. If you take the base installer unit which is responsible for installing the kernel into the target system for alpha that has the ABI hardcoded into the code. So it will select only the current stable kernel. So with the update we have to change that to the new ABI so it will accidentally be able to find the kernel to be installed. And with PowerPC it didn't have an ABI and I did this update I added an ABI to make that change. That's another minor change in kernel batch which produces the UDAPs. But it's not a niche it's just the config file of kernel batch, PowerPC and these have the ABI changes everything like with the kernel landing. So that's just one of the building kernel types. So once you have this work you have the first update in your UDAPs and then you are building the installers that go into my hand which is set up by FTPmasters. Yeah, we have to first get all the UDAPs for all architectures interested in post updates. Then I will do or Jeremy will do a build of everything in store against tenant post updates and upload that to stable. Definitely needs by-hand processing then the outbuilder is still pinging for the remaining architectures which also will be by-hand processing and basically then you should be ready for derogies and moving everything to stable. Okay, now let's move that so this will be built for the UDAPs. Okay. Very good. Anything more on the alphas kernel stuff you know for when you have to install it here? Maybe I have a question would be current installers on the UDAP installers I was very frustrated trying to figure out how to put together a driver update this but my situation with the installer would not install on the machine at a different self-range than the current one so long ago and I couldn't figure it out and I searched and googled how to construct and the driver update the driver update there are means to insert drivers, modules into the installer and access drives that may not be accessible Well, good discussion on derogies I'm for such a bit difficult but actually yesterday with security and kernel and discussion on how we could do it better in the future perhaps if anyone of you wants to say something about it Yeah, so we had to propose yesterday that maybe we can do more edge we can do something like an edge and a half where we add an additional kernel about halfway between edge and edge plus one so that we can enable more hardware and do security support for both and he said he talked to the DIT and he was able to And who are you talking about now? I'm talking about first Sarge Santana though Our only requirement has been otherwise that the kernel team in the security team has to be willing to support such kernel Because otherwise it's just useless to even start thinking about it Yeah and I've been afraid to support two kernels like we're doing now with Sarge but the issue there is that two cores old and nobody's really using it but if we're doing like an edge an edge and a half where neither kernel is going to be as old as Sarge Santana I'm trying to say that but what about like what kind of a user like I drive with install and I find that it doesn't access the hardware because I mean I need a way to say okay provide a floppy or a cd when you shove in so it doesn't have any load either you do it or something like that prior to trying to do this system with install we do have support for loading drivers from floppy I guess that's not how look at this in two specific specific particular cases I think mainly for network in today's detection if no network in today's detection is detected then it will last for floppy I remember that you were saying for hardest but I don't think so I couldn't figure out how to create that possibly need to be out the one objection I have to doing a floppy base is that less and less machines have floppy disks how about a cdb you would need prior to switch cds you would need to be able to do it from usb you would need to be able to download it from the network maybe you would be able to do it from floppy if you have floppy so that makes for a very complicated code I don't know how we do it so far we haven't detected it I think we may do it after the current team has done the non-free and the firmware split because at that point we will need to do something with that I guess the best thing is that the vendor just presumably had to produce their own install or cd yes but at the moment the best option for vendors is to create custom images which for charge again is a pain because of the major changes between 268 kernel with which the storage install was shipped and the current kernels which have really caused major rewrites of the installer with regard to hardware protection and so on so for what it's worth the way I do a lot of stuff for the company I work for is I actually started with GI as is and I already know it's different to 268 driver updates AdWords for us to backport from a recent kernel back to 268 and a few exceptions and then I started with that and do the whole build cycle like runs with the ITM and you've kind of all built with install cd well I don't want to say I don't want to build every binary again I replace the bits that I need you have burned the new cds unfortunately I suggest that to my management and for some reason this is a good thing I mentioned I can push back out of it my management tells me that when I try to afford the drivers that enable them they don't want me to cut the new install or cd because they kind of were not in the install or cd business they only want to do driver update to me as that for that's a good thing to me that's a business decision of course and now I can push back and change that vision but we make sure that it's clear that our cd is different and every package in there has a different character of your name and kernel has an identifier that says it's up to my company so I guess we're going to come back to the IT with invalid information and that's a good report okay there's something that has to be doing very carefully especially the first class I couldn't do maybe I could approach my management and see that everyone is working my time to help develop some sort of driver update this type of business I think that would be worth discussing okay there have been several discussions and I'm going back to the progress unless you think we're going off topic I think when you say we're needed this this we can take this off we have to take it off somewhere else because if we have more things on the kernel as di we could discuss we should take some time for it I have one more issue that is kernel related there are currently two packages in the new queue one is PCMCIA 2.4 the other is the 2.4 S390 kernel they should really be in stable proposal updates but because those packages have not been updated since the Saturdays in unstable they have to go through unstable and trickle down to as I said in the new queue there are lots of packages from the new queue that were there basically what's happening is if you upload a security update or a proposed update and it takes this version it's the same as in testing it just gives a warning and also programs have to test the proposed updates now and Lisa so the least I can say is that because it's a warning it's totally in error and she said no which was then afterwards fixed but I don't make sure what needs to be done I say a target proposed update but if the same version is in such in testing or it's large in edge and unstable it's a target proposed update it might as well go through other things I'll check it but actually it's a changes file make sure that we get some other side to get back to you but it still means there should be an upload to a stable as well or what if we rebuild those packages from unstable does that work? yes basically I think for edge there should still be 2-4 channels but not so far I believe I don't think anybody has come back and said yes we will I'm willing to give all the security support but 2-4 so I think they're going to come I have suggested to the release members fairly recently to make a hard decision on that and start next moment because that will make things clear for everybody packages that's involved but still has 2-4 related packages to try for more deals I think I'll make sure that we have a decision before you all talk I hope there is the person here that's been most pushing to continue with them I think he's okay with them going away probably we should finish with Holger and perhaps you and you as well I'm checking we'll do a decision on that I think what we decided is that there's no reason to preclude users from running 2-4 and doing their own 2-4 maintenance we don't want to break that I think that's what we decided users should be able to work with 2-4 we had discussed this very briefly yesterday during the GI involved as well I think the remark at the end it was people can always download 2.4 from private headquarters and build it from there as long as it works so if there is no 2.4 kernel in Edge then we won't obviously have you been working on getting the box fixed in 2.6.8 in 2.6 kernels? of course because there must be a reason why you're still running 2.4 they work for you they work for me a lot so the installation doesn't work I don't know how to fix that because I haven't quite married down the many changes that I did I will do it by myself well, does that seem to work then? it is but it's something to work on I know but it's also something that it works the way I do it but if 2.4 is better in that respect the I can only support distribution support it's someone actually going to actively check if things do work if there are new devs basically we've had in store images with 2.6.14 to 6.0 for the past half year so if people haven't been trying that for their hardware you've said you wanted to be supported that users can download 2.4 themselves after I've told you 2.6 there is someone checking that this does work despite dependency despite the download and compile 2.2 kernels on SID and they will install and if you've got all that moving half the distribution you can build and run 2.2 kernels as long as you've got hardware support on SID the kernel back at the main KBKJ still supports 2.2 and I've tested it in mites so as of mites I wasn't really worried about low level stuff but it's just if there's assumptions and you know basically I think you're lying but I would say a typical QA task yes I think we should note that as our mission how can we test it but it's not so important either it's not really an issue because so far we have 2.4 supported in store and we have tested that you end up with working installations so that's not really important the only thing a user has to realize if he does it, your level won't run anymore so he will need some other form of hardware detection installed so he will need to I can discover something that should just be in the release but it's definitely somewhere just by the package we definitely need help for this release because it's going to be quite a complex story for 4 years I think about what you're thinking now well you can still build and compile and install GLC as in 2.4 is the minimum version so you're not going to be able to run any binary system and as time goes forward you'll be able to run pretty much nothing in fact I talked to a couple weeks ago join GLC Maintainers and me saying that the current upstream GLC has dropped to 2.4 support but when I test I was testing on a potato machine but it was built on a same machine I think it was built on a potato if you see the issue it's really something that's built on 2.4 support sooner or later I don't expect it to be built on edge but not only for extra support she put her timing in this concern do you really like the 4 edge but does it sound like we'll be able to if I remember correctly and the total cost of the 2 GLC Maintainers for 4.4 as I'm looking at it so we can keep it up but of course there will be a data which will just stop 2.4 support like I don't think that the support running won't see something falling on sit anymore yes so the main impact 2.4 will probably be 4.6K if we still have 2.4 this archive yes so they may have to try to develop some architectures or they will have to work very hard to prepare for remaining issues that are resolved I think all other architectures are about ready to make streets to 2.6 or have already done it the other main ones are the MIPSA MIPSA architectures and M6 8K and now I don't really care very much about M6 8K it's not a little discreet at any base no and S3 9 S3 9 is almost ready to switch oh ok it's not a little discreet but I hope that this changes then with this M6 8K I currently don't see it for edge but it's important for this whole anime for this whole they have to make the switch before release if they want to be an experiment yeah we will see so ok another thing that we need to discuss about stable points release or stable release management now of course on the large edge release we have to talk about this discussion on Thursday and make sure that we have a lot of discussion time so something going on about stable points release well are there any questions or concerns about the possible edge and a half type current update does anybody there will be a lot of technical issues to do later can you what do you mean by edge and a half well we're just calling what we mean is a stable kernel update that takes us from say 2616 to whatever is current half way between edge and edge plus one and I thought you were not going to hold anything but 2616 that's what we're discussing at the time release we won't but we might move off 2616 no in addition to 2616 add another one it depends on where 2616 is going if 2616 gets all the ground from backwards then you could just do a 2616 upgrade it's essentially it's an old kernel it's an update it's not done because as we have said it doesn't even mind about the AI compatibility which is something I'm not too happy about right if it's a quality yes it doesn't mind to existing current modules for new features that's something else as a security update security yes, definitely probably it's sealed by an audience I was like let's say something like the Ember still works even after the AI change which is but if you say maybe it's just changing the interface because it looks better that way but it's easier to backtrack drivers then it might not be the case but of course there's now not really something inside it it's just a case it might happen and I think we just need to let you the changes say yeah, we are there then we can say okay it's a change okay or not and then we can say do we need another kernel or not well I think the execution is more intuitive we would like to have 268 because there are teams that are scheduled going forward 17 and 18 that will make it possible to deploy a real and really hardcore security environment multi-level security teams so there would be at least one constituency that would like to have support for the latest kernel out there from the Japanese kernel I don't know how it would impact if it would be installed well maybe the way it would impact in the store is that if we had to wait until 268 then we cannot I'm not going to push for that for edge because we don't have the support for that kind of security in Japan yet anyway so this is what he asked about if you're going to do something about x and a half yes there is at least one set of people who would love to have the if you don't have the support in stable at that time it just makes sense to have I don't want to push it for edge because I want to freeze things so I don't think I can do it between now and December the packages that I'm talking about that I have to update they won't be frozen until late late in the fall so wait in the fall what are you talking about at least in December so it's a Chinese by the way generic it's a multi part of base it will be frozen in July or August and an old package will be frozen in mid of October so my the way I see it right now I want to get the basic I want it working with the end of August I wouldn't have the multi level security working until then they're being installed so when will you have that I think I will have that working by July or August I don't basically my understanding currently these are really optional part that I have a very from the outside point of view are optional or extra so we could extend by late and if we work it's good and if not it doesn't work in the back and also if you say okay we need to update SAE news policy because it's broken I might because I shouldn't do it in the policy later because they are not in the co-part my question was it's going to be out in December there's no point in discussing it's not going to be after December with August 2018 I hope it will be out in fall December when is it 6 o'clock for H it needs to be not all decided but installed bit of true light because if you want to make a DEI a release candidate the I release for H in the beginning of August there's no point in doing it later now that's right although given the schedule I think we can do one or maybe two six sixteen updates after that because rebuilds of the I from the curve are much easier now we don't have to wait for the individual builds of the curve we just have to coordinate with supporters to do the unit builds quickly and I think we do have the operation is that good for all current updates for all current updates in one current series like two six sixteen last can I explain a little bit more about I think even though the official current will be two six sixteen for H there will be two six sixteen as well two six sixteen will be out before we release H in our timeline my feeling is I'm creating here KML if two six sixteen is out the extra and the optional packages that support the feelings in H will support two six eighteen so which is why if there is if the kernel team after we release H officially releases two six eighteen then the security users don't have to go off on their own so that's what we're trying to do okay so I was just notified now by the heads of this event that I should just come to the end soon I always think we have done lots of important stuff so it was mostly about the kernel but obviously the other thing was really interesting to most of the users otherwise I would just say thank you to you all okay we will need to talk about a new kernel because it does have implications for you certainly I have to talk I have to talk to the kernel we just as late last night when we talked the kernel team is not in agreement to do it you would also need to see what are your main packages going to report to two six sixteen or two six eighteen otherwise it's all the main packages so the usual and not what I'm going to point to but one question for us about that wouldn't it be possible to make if you don't have a new kernel we need to build it in the store also if you use the kernel to do installation so if you do that could we say please don't install this is make a package for another make a package now you have to basically if you want if you want something else that wants the current make a package for instance you have to do a medium or long priority install so you have to do an extra make a package for another if you leave this in the store could we change it so that we could install another make a package or is it to much work depends on the name of the make a package what else needs something I would say it's not very nice something I was thinking about was the way we do like 2.6 and 2.4 today that we when we build the I if we do this in the future well the project is that the kernel major is not going to change and we currently use the kernel major to decide on the make a package I suspect that if we do this the kernel major would change the ABI would change oh I see what you're saying kernel 2.6 but because I have to make a meet a package I must say it's ok this is now the kernel kernel edge it's a package it's a place where the system a package after it's a model release so the users will get updates with the next this update after edge but in the old installer the default installer but you created an F3 you wanted to succeed but they had separate majors so that was easy so we based that decision on majors we would do a consistent installation if you build the 2.4 we would install 2.4 if you build 2.6 you would install 2.6 to extend that to a miner it's going to bring things horribly especially in stable because there are just too many projects of miners are you looking are you ready could that be a digit dot digit or can we have a better package or install for edge that's yes that's a good one you should have said kernel 2.6 edge no no you should have a linux image edge whatever I don't mind about names if something is useful we are of course willing to think about it but it's not something I can just do it's easy it's fine of course you have to discuss first you have to discuss first ok that's a nice thing I should now finish this set because I don't see more and more signs as I get nervous so we finish thank you all for coming what's good to start with yeah that's a good one

Llywodraeth, everybody. Welcome to the Championship Round of this year's Three Minute Thesis at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm Keith Webster, the Helen and Henry Posner junior dean of University Libraries, and your host this evening. We're, just in case I forgot my name, thrilled to be back for our ninth year hosting this event. It's actually the tenth anniversary, but there was a pandemic that caught one of our years, and we continue o fod yn hwnnw i ddysgol i'r gymryd ydyn ni'n rhoi bod ni'n rhan fyddiolion ddau i gyfryd i ei rai'r rhan d aparwyr yn y bwrw i ddwydiol. Mae'n ysgrifell yno nid i fod sydd chi'n mynd i chi ddweud i Gymru'r Auditoriw sydd yn ni yw yw'n mynd roedd y bydden nhw'n rhan o'r cyffredinol yn si confessol, simply wedi eu gwneud gan y Cmgol LlamНu Aelwn. Mae'r team mewn gwahanol yw ydy hi'n cael ei piadau ac e'n gwybod i'r Ymwy, ond ydych chi'n gwybod i'r gwybod i'r gwybod a rydyn nhw'n mynd i'r rhywbeth sydd ymddangos yn cael piadau'r gwybod. Rwy'n gwybod i'n gweithio'n gwybodaeth gyda'r erbyn i gymryd gymryd yn cael ei gwybod i'r piadau, ac rydyn ni nad yw'n gwybod i'r gwybod i'r rai ac mae oedd yn rhanol. A'n ychydig ddigon... Thank you computer scientists for being here. The three-minute thesis competition was developed at my former university, the University of Queensland in Australia, and has grown from what we developed in 2008 as an interesting local event into an international competition held in universities around the world. The premise of three-minute thesis is quite simple. Our speakers have three minutes to present a compelling aeration on their thesis and its significance. It's not an exercise in trivialising or dumbing down, but challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can present them concisely to a non-specialist audience. In bringing the 3MT to Carnegie Mellon, I had no idea of the response, but over the nine years in which we've held the event, we've had over 588 participants from across the university, and we've had judges representing faculty and staff from colleges, schools, university libraries, members of university leadership, alumni and our wider community. 54 students participated in this year's preliminary rounds from all seven colleges, making this a truly campus-wide event. We have five of the colleges represented in tonight's finals. I'm grateful, as always, to those who are willing to help us by judging 3MT, and our finalist judges this year sitting in the front row are displayed on your screen, Mary Jo Diwley, vice-president and general counsel, Anne Malloy, trustee and member of the university libraries, Dean's Advocacy Council, Theresa Mayer, vice-president for research, Theresa Trumbetta, assistant vice-president for alumni and constituent engagement, and Marshal Ibert, university professor and dean of the School of Computer Science. The rules are straightforward. Speakers are limited to a maximum of three minutes. Competition rules require the disqualification of anyone who continues beyond their time. Speakers will view a countdown timer, and please, if you find that the timer goes, just stop talking. We don't want to disqualify anyone. They are allowed to use a single static PowerPoint slide, but no media props, singing, dancing, anything of that sort. Our judges will consider three broad criteria in arriving at their decision. Comprehension, engagement and communication. Once all of our speakers have completed their presentations, I will escort the judges to somewhere outside so they can deliberate. During that intermission, I'll come to that in a moment. So our judging panel will select three winners receiving awards as shown on the screen, in addition to the prizes they won in the preliminary rounds. In addition, the in-person audience will have an opportunity to vote for the People's Choice Award. You should already have a ballot paper, if not, we'll make sure you get one. We've gone for the low-tech hack-proof approach of single-paper voting. We are also happy to partner with the Alumni Association to award an Alumni Choice Award, and that prize will be awarded to the participant who receives the most votes from CMU alumni watching the livestream on the Alumni Association website. The winner of the Alumni Choice Award will be announced at the end of this evening's event, along with the other award winners. Before introducing our first presenter, I'd like to thank the many people who have made this event possible. As I've mentioned, our finalists have arrived from five heats, which together attracted 54 students. I'm grateful to all of the students from around the university who participated. Each heat had a panel of judges and I'm grateful to them and to the phenomenal work of my colleagues in the university libraries, especially Sonia Wellington, who has made tonight possible, and my colleagues Ryan Splendor, Sarah Young, Jimmy McKee, Shannon Riff, Sarah Bender, and Shannon Baldridge.

Welcome to every way woman. So there is a cost to everything including the price tag on self-worth I want to talk about what it is and what it's doing to our children and women out there Stacy Specifically you are a woman who I look up to because I feel like you really truly understand your self-worth Thank you. And What does that look like? You know I evolved I want to be honest with you I evolved the Stacy that you see today is not the Stacy that was there before and that will happen with all of us here But one of the things that I had to do was I had to be honest with who I am and be comfortable What I bring to the table and stop trying to represent something that I was not what do you mean be honest with who you were What is that moment? Okay, so for so long because of my molestation I really put a wall in front of me and so what I did was I Insulated myself to be the best at everything be the cheerleader captain So I was never in a vulnerable Position, but you can only be a farce like that for so long Well, and that's interesting because I think myself included and our children We're looking to other women in the media in particular Right and we're getting false impressions of who they really are and I'm assessing myself worth Accordingly I can only imagine what that's doing to a 12 year old child well learning self-worth and Discovering what my own self-worth is like Stacy said is evolving But what I'm starting to learn now that I have children and they're growing and I'm learning things about them Is that I'm learning that your children my children at least are teaching me Their self-worth and how I can show them what it is. It isn't always what I think it is Well, how are they teaching it? What are they doing that? Well, it's like with my um, you know Sometimes when you have kids, it's not always Like oh, they're my baby and everything's wonderful and great you have personality conflict absolutely And you don't always like each other all the time You're like who are you and did you come out of me? But it's also what I was learning was is that my daughter when when she gets to be the boss She feels like she has a lot of self-worth and she started asking me as soon as she could talk those were the One of the first questions that came out of her mouth if I had to go somewhere She want to know who's the boss of me mommy right right and I would say well You're the boss of you and that and I started telling her she's the boss of her when I am ran into a problem because then babysitters came You are not telling me what to do I am the boss It makes the excellent quite of statement and I think as parents We have to know that we are the first teacher of self-value and self-worth And I think what's happening now is because it's medicine said earlier parents are outside of the home We're surviving we're feeling guilty. So instead of spending that time. We're buying them things But we have to find what You know iPhones cars as opposed to saying instilling value and truth in them and teaching I'm teaching my daughter I have a 17 year old and 15 year old and I tell my babies all the time I need you to be true to yourself. I'll give you a quick sample. My daughter's like the way the hair natural Mm-hmm. I was mortified that they wanted to wear their hair natural. You know why? Because I was afraid of what people were gonna say about me Really what people were gonna say about me allowing my daughters to have natural hair What would they say because that's just not the way a young lady should look and for a minute I bought into that notion and I had to snap out of it and say hey These are two very beautiful young ladies and so and what they did was they weren't in an environment that didn't necessarily Accept natural hair. That's why I was uncomfortable not because of them because they wore the natural prowl But because what people would say about me we got a change that it has to be and I was proud that they were confident to do that We are something. Yeah, that was a beautiful lesson for your children to teach and for me and I think so And it's different for each child right what each child's Self-worth is so when I comes to like the women in the media now that aren't real and that and you start comparing yourselves to these Airbrushed the women do you guys remember the you there was a video that went out about a woman and they took a picture of her Made her plane and then they started doing all of these things to her and by the end She looked like she was a 16 year old vogue model. Mm-hmm. Of course, okay So that's not realistic what they're putting out there But I think it if we if we start to understand who are people our people are Mm-hmm, and we get to understand what their personalities are and how they feel loved and how they feel self-worth And we teach them on their level at their terms So then it doesn't matter there's a point about teaching the young But I think there's something to be said about Re-teaching ourselves I used to be so much more fearless and I believed in myself so much more to be completely candid And then I got to this quarter-life crisis whether it be you know when you're 25 or 42 and All of a sudden that empowerment and that worth you carried so proudly Through your parents and through these lessons when you were a child has withered away and you've become cheated The society has done that to you because what we what we've subconsciously told you was that you're not enough Because you don't have this or you haven't acquired that and self-worth comes from the inside out So I just don't know how to get it back Well, if I can tell you what you have to do is you have to decide what? Jeslyn one and it may not look like what Madison I agree with but you have to be okay with that and not really does surprise me because I know I the way that I see you I see you as someone who's extremely self-confident and beautiful Attributes about you that I'm really shocked by that and sometimes that worth is not you know We think for it to be that it's external But really self-worth starts here and it comes out let it shine ladies. We'll be right back with more every way woman stay tuned

to the channel, if you haven't yet, make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with all the latest content that we put out. At this point, we've pretty much got content going out every 48 hours. So don't stay stuck with your business. And if you want to get in contact with me personally, there's a couple of ways you can do that. The first one is you can book a free 15 to 20 minute call. We jump on Zoom, it's pretty much a discovery call. I discover your idea, what you're currently doing, your business. I can ask you some really good questions and I can share with you some actionable steps to take this week to grow and scale what you're doing. Now, if you don't want to do that and you just want to send me a simple question, you can do that, send it to makemoneycoachingsports.gmail.com. But don't stay stuck with your business, get in contact with me, I'm here to help. And one of my jobs every single day is to connect with coaches all around the world who have sports training businesses, to help them to grow, to scale, get to the next level. Right, so they can make their business better and they can help more, more athletes. So today I want to talk about the second sale. So for those that don't understand too much about what the second sale is, right? The second sale is pretty much when you are about to close a client onto your main thing which might be, for example, a three month training package. Right, that you've been through the process. So you've had the sales, the initial intro call with them. You've invited them to an evaluation session which is essentially an assessment session. While you've gathered all the information, they're a good fit for you. Now you've followed up with them and now you're looking to close them onto your three month training package. So the second sale is essentially now once we have them on that package and once we get them interested and they wanna move forward with you, how can then we get them to purchase something else from us so that we can make that initial sale, right, the profit from that sale bigger, okay? So I'm gonna share with you three ideas and these are three things that I've done in my training business and these are three things that I help coaches with their businesses as well, okay? So the first one is essentially merchandise, okay? So merchandise could be training gear. It could be personalized or customized water bottles that players can take to their training sessions to have. It could be training diaries, right, that they purchase from you to write down every day what they're doing, okay? Or it could be equipment, right? So it could be personalized equipment that you sell. Some coaches that I work with, they create these training, should we say these training packages which is essentially has different types of equipment and items that they offer clients that clients then pay a little bit more once they join their program, okay? So the way this would work is you've got Mrs. Jones on the final call where you're about to close up onto the three month training package. And what you can say is that, okay, Mrs. Jones, we're about to get you registered, signed up for our program. What I would like to offer you as well is we have this, this, and this available, which is a requirement for players who join our academy or training program to purchase before they start their first training session with us, okay? So for example, in my academy and in my training program, what I do is when I look to close a client onto my program, it's a requirement that they purchase their training uniform before they get to the first training session with us. Okay, so on that call, I'm gonna be closing them on the three, six, nine, 12 month commitment package, plus they've also going to upgrade and to purchasing the training uniform. So everything, instead of selling them a $100 three month training package, for example, that you're adding the difference, which is the merchandise, which is the training uniform on top of that. So instead of paying 100s, they're now gonna be paying 150, which gets them ready and set to join your program. Okay, so essentially the second sale, it's a way of adding extra revenue to that final sale that you're making with that client, right? So how can we close that client and how can we make them pay more so that the total amount that we're bringing in is more than the initial amount you've sold them, okay? And essentially, when you sell parents on merchandise, that you can make it a requirement that all new players must purchase this merchandise, so they could be training gear, water bowls, equipment, that you must purchase this before you become a member of our academy, right? This could also be included in your terms and conditions, right, the player contracts that you're getting your clients to sign within it. It can state that it is a requirement to purchase training uniform before the initial training session, okay? So that's one way you can get that second sale and essentially increase the amount of money you make on that first sale, okay? So instead of making $100, just selling them training, you can then upgrade them to purchase in the training uniform which at some point they will need or you can sell equipment to them which could be cones, water bowls, it could be shingards, right? It could be anything that you feel that the player will need for your training sessions. Okay, now the second one is a camp or clinic, okay? So you've got Mrs. Jones on the line, you're about to close her into your three month training package and what you can do is you can say to Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, before we close your account and we finalize your purchase, would you be interested in attending our upcoming camp or clinic in whichever month it is, okay? And what you can say is that as part of being a new member is that all new members who purchase our upcoming camp or clinic, they get a 50 or 20% discount of the total amount, okay? So if the camp is $100 and your new client is about to sign up and register with you, you can upgrade them so that they get that camp or upcoming clinic 50% off, okay? And essentially they're getting more training with you which is a good thing. And you've also not just sold them a training package, now you've sold them into your camp or clinic, okay? So the initial sale was the training but now you've made them make the second sale which is the camp or clinic, okay? Now the third idea is extra training, okay? So if Mrs. Jones is looking to do a three-month commitment with you, she's ready to purchase, she's ready to finalize and make the payment, what you can do is you can offer her an upgrade to her current package. So instead of three months, she could pay six months at a discounted rate so that her son or daughter stays with you for longer and essentially it works out cheaper doing a longer-term commitment. Now some parents may go for that because if they see a lot of value and they like you, they trust you, they will be thinking in their heads that do you know what this makes sense to do? If we want our child, our daughter, our son to get great results with Coach Leo, then I want them to be training with him for longer, okay? So instead of three months, we're gonna commit to six months but what you can do, you can set it up where, if you're selling a six-month package, what they do is they get the six month for free and they're only paying for five months. So that's one idea. You can also do the same if you're selling a nine-month package and you can sell them on an extra eight months worth of training and the last month is free or the last two months are free and they're only paying for the remainder. Okay, so these are free ideas that you can make an extra little bit of income on that initial final sale that you're making with the parent. Okay, so when you have gone through your process, you're ready to make, well, your client's ready to make that payment, okay? You can then offer them other alternatives and other extras that they can purchase now at a discounted rate so that they're paying more with you and committing longer into your program, okay? Now, companies, big corporations, big companies do this all the time, okay? If you go, for example, to a McDonald's, right? And you've gone into a McDonald's or you've gone through the drive-through, right? And all you want is a quarter pound of burger, right? Essentially, when you're ready to make that payment, the lady or the man behind the counter is gonna say to you, would you like to add a milkshake? Would you like to add fries? Would you like to add a drink to your final purchase? Okay, so what happens is you've gone in, you've gone into McDonald's to buy a quarter pounder, but because you've been offered an extra, you're thinking to yourself, do you know what? Okay, I might get thirsty after eating that burger. I'm gonna go for a milkshake. I'm gonna go for a soda, okay? So that is the second sale and companies do this all the time. The ones that are really good at doing it is supermarkets, right? Supermarket grocery stores, essentially when you're going into one of these stores, most people go in there, right? I need to buy a bottle of milk, but when you go in there and then when you come out, you realize, do you know what? Instead of going in there for one item, I've come out with four items, okay? And that is how these companies make so much money and that's how they essentially create the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth sale with their customers. And you can do the same in your training business, okay? So if you need more help with this and you need more help setting this up and getting contact with me, right? Like I said, I've done it in my business and I'm helping coaches who are currently have a business and they're looking to grow and scale to the next level, okay? Thank you for watching and I'll see you on the next video.

T F N N headline news update Everyone Basel Chapman here on this 30th day of August and we're looking at this Monday And we're looking at the opening of the week with the Dow down 51 and 35,402 In my show coming up the Tigers technicians now I want to talk about this particular cluster formation right here with the Dow stalling for about five or six sessions Has already broken out above the 35,000 and he's to get to 35,580 To say hey, I'm trying to go back to the 35,631 all-time high But it's still right here, but you've got other things going on look the S&P S&P at this particular moment is trading at an all-time high at 45 20 point 70 up 11 points That's really fantastic and it's extended this leg D in the weekly and I'm suspicious of saying September is a week usually a week month Until I start to see cell signals and it looks to me that I really have to call this a new leg B In the Chapman methodology boys looking for biosignals to go to buy mode implying There'll be at least four hair peaks peak APB peak C and peak D Well, this is more likely a peak B a leg B than an F at this particular point And that suggests that in September this week we will go to new all-time highs and that will extend the Hard to believe hard to believe we're gonna extend the monthly chart in leg B Well, we'll see what happens in each slide and the next couple of days below 44 63 would say nah, you know, that's not gonna happen. Look at the QQQ in the X100 trading right now There's the vehicle investor QQQ trust series. Also, I really think this is a leg B This is every indication. This is a leg B and all-time high a three seventy eight point sixty five very strong The IWM is taking a little bit of a be that it was leading the other day very often does this and then it hit their chapter We've inside track repellent zone on Friday today when fractionally higher to 227 35 It's now 225 95 so there could be a day or two of stalling right here But this has been very good action and it's important that the Russell 2000 the small caps Continue higher this to gold right now gold is trading down just three at 1816 It made new recovery height 1826. This is very good action. He has a 200-period moving average I suspect that's gonna be a bit of a Magnet at this particular point. We'll be back with talking about crude oil Talk about bonds as soon as I return for the tiger's admissions hour and check out motor and call my daily newslet Otherwise have a great day, but I hope to see you in a few minutes

Section 20, Autobiography of John Stuart Mill. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Recording by Tony Richardson. Chapter 7 Part 5 General view of the remainder of my life. Had I been defeated in the election, I should still have had no reason to regret the contact it had brought me into with large bodies of my countrymen, which not only gave me much new experience but enabled me to scatter my political opinions rather widely and by making me known in many quarters where I had never before been heard of increased the number of my readers and the presumable influence of my writings. These latter effects were of course produced in a still greater degree when as much as to my surprises as to that of anyone, I was returned to Parliament by a majority of some hundreds over my conservative competitor. I was a member of the House during the three sessions of the Parliament which passed the reform bill during which time Parliament was necessarily my main occupation except during the recess. I was a tolerably frequent speaker sometimes of prepared speeches sometimes extemporaneously but my choice of occasions was not such as I should have made if my leading object had been Parliamentary influence. When I had gained the ear of the House, which I did by successful speech on Mr. Gladstone's reform bill, the idea I proceeded on was that when anything was likely to be well done or sufficiently well done by other people, there was no necessity for me to meddle with it. As I therefore in general reserved myself for work which no others were likely to do. A great proportion of my appearances were on points on which the bulk of the Liberal Party even the advanced portion of it either were of a different opinion from mine or were comparatively indifferent. Several of my speeches, especially one against the motion of the abolition of capital punishment and another in favor of resuming the right of seizing enemies goods in neutral vessels were opposed to what then was and probably still is regarded as the advanced Liberal opinion. My advocacy of women's suffrage and of personal representation were at the time looked upon by many as whims of my own. But the great progress since made by those opinions and especially the response made by almost all parts of the kingdom to demand for women's suffrage fully justified the timeliness of those movements and have made what was undertaken as a moral and social duty a personal success. Another duty which was particularly incumbent on me as one of the Metropolitan members was the attempt to obtain municipal government for the metropolis but on that subject the indifference of the House of Commons was such that I found hardly any help or support within its walls. On the subject however I was the organ of an active and intelligent body of persons outside whom and not with me the scheme originated and who carried on all the agitations on the subject and drew up the bills. My part was to bring in bills already prepared and to sustain the discussion of them during the short time they were allowed to remain before the House. After having taken an active part in the work of a committee presided over by Mr. Eyrton which set through the greater part of the session of 1866 to take evidence on the subject. The very different position in which the question now stands in 1870 may just to be attributed to the preparation which went on during those years and which produced but little visible effect at the time but all questions on which there are strong private interests on one side and only the public good on the other have a similar period of incubation to go through. The same idea that the use of my being in Parliament was to do work which others were not able or not willing to do made me think it my duty to come to the front in defense of advanced liberalism on occasions when the obliquity to be encountered was such as most of the advanced liberals in the House preferred not to incur. My first vote in the House was in support of an amendment in favor of Ireland moved by an Irish member and for which only five English and Scotch votes were given including my own. The other four were Mr. Bright, Mr. McLaren, Mr. T. B. Potter and Mr. Hadfield and the second speech I delivered was on the bill to prolong the suspension of the habeas corpus in Ireland and announcing on this occasion the English mode of governing Ireland I did no more than the general opinion of England now admits to have been just but the anger against Finianism was then in all its freshness any attack on what Finians attack was looked upon as an apology for them and I was so unfavorably received by the House that more than one of my friends advised me and my own judgment agreed with the advice to wait before speaking again for the favorable opportunity that would be given by the first great debate on the reform bill. During this silence many flattered themselves that I had turned out a failure and that they should not be troubled with me anymore perhaps their uncomplimentary comments made by force of reaction have helped to make my speech on the reform bill the success it was my position in the House was further improved by a speech in which I insisted on the duty of paying off the national debt before our cold supplies are exhausted and by an ironical reply to some of the Tory leaders who had quoted against me certain passages of my writings and called me to account for others especially for one of my considerations on representative government which said that the Conservative Party was by the law of its composition the stupidest party they gained nothing by drawing attention to the passage which up to that time had not excited any notice but the sobriquet of the quote-unquote stupid party stuck to them for a considerable time afterwards having now no longer any apprehension of not being listened to I can find myself as I have sent thought too much to occasions on which my services seemed especially needed and abstained more than enough from speaking on the great party questions with the exception of Irish questions and those which concern the working classes a single speech on Mr. Desiree's reform bill was nearly all that I contributed to the great decisive debates of the last two of my three sessions I have, however, much satisfaction in looking back to the part I took on the two classes of subjects just mentioned with regard to the working classes the chief topic of my speech on Mr. Gladstone's reform bill was the assertion of their claims to the suffrage a little later after the resignation of Lord Russell's ministry and the succession of a Tory government came the attempt of the working classes to hold a meeting in Hyde Park their exclusion by the police and the breaking down of the park railing by the crowd though Mr. Belies and his leaders of the working men had retired under protest before this took place a scuffle ensued in which many innocent persons were maltreated by the police and the exasperation of the working men was extreme they showed a determination to make another attempt at a meeting in the park to which many of them would probably have come armed the government made military preparations to resist the attempt and something very serious seemed impending at this crisis I really believed that I was the means of preventing much mischief I had in my place in parliament taken the side of the working men and strongly censured the conduct of the government I was invited with several other radical members to a conference with the leading members of the council of the reform league and the task fell chiefly upon myself of persuading them to give up the Hyde Park project and hold their meeting elsewhere it was not Mr. Belies and Colonel Dixon who needed persuading on the contrary it was evident that these gentlemen had already exerted their influence in the same direction thus far without success it was the working men who held out so bent were they on their original scheme that I was obliged to have recourse to Legrand Moynes and I told them that a proceeding which would certainly produce a collision with the military could only be justifiable on two conditions if the position of affairs had become such that the revolution was desirable and if they thought themselves able to accomplish one to this argument after considerable discussion they at last yielded and I was able to inform Mr. Walpole that their intention was given up I shall never forget the depth of his relief or the warmth of his expressions of gratitude after the working men had conceded so much to me I felt bound to comply with their request that I should attend and speak at their meeting at the Agricultural Hall the only meeting called by the Reform League which I ever attended I had always declined being a member of the League on the avowed ground that I did not agree in its program of manhood suffrage and the ballot from the ballot I dissented entirely and I could not consent to horse the flag of manhood suffrage even on the assurance that the exclusion of women was not intended to be implied since if one goes beyond what can be immediately carried and professes to take one's stand on a principle one should go the whole length of the principle I have entered this particularly into this matter because my conduct on this occasion gave great displeasure to the Tory and Tory Liberal press who have charged me ever since with having shown myself in the trials of public life in temperate and passionate I do not know what they expected from me but they had reason to be thankful to me if they knew from what I had and all probability preserved them and I do not believe it could have been done at that particular juncture by anyone else no other person I believe had at that moment the necessary influence for restraining the working classes except Mr Gladstone and Mr Bright neither of whom was available Mr Gladstone for obvious reasons Mr Bright because he was out of town when sometime later the Tory government brought in a bill to prevent public meetings in the parks I not only spoke strongly in opposition to it but formed one of a number of advanced Liberals who aided by the very late period of this session succeeded in defeating the bill by what is called talking it out it has not since been renewed on Irish affairs also I felt bound to take a decided part I was one of the foremost in the deputation of members of parliament who prevailed on Lord Derby to spare the life of the condemned Phinean insurgent General Burke the church question was so vigorously handled by the leaders of the party in the session of 1868 as to require no more from me than an emphatic adhesion but the land question was by no means in so advanced a position the superstitions of land lordism had up to that time been little challenged especially in Parliament and the backward state of the question so far as concerned the Parliamentary mind was evidenced by the extremely mild measure brought in by Lord Russell's government in 1866 which nevertheless could not be carried on that bill I delivered one of my most careful speeches in which I attempted to lay down some of the principles of the subject in a manner calculated less to stimulate friends than to conciliate and convince opponents the engrossing subject of Parliamentary reform prevented either this bill or one of a similar character brought about by Lord Derby's government from being carried through they never got beyond the second reading meanwhile the signs of Irish disaffection had become much more decided the demand of complete separation between the two countries had assumed a menacing aspect and there were few who did not feel if there was still any chance of reconciling Ireland to the British connection it could only be by the adoption of much more thorough reforms in the territorial and social relations of the country than had been contemplated the time seemed to me to have come when it would be useful to speak out my whole mind and the result was my pamphlet England and Ireland which was written in the winter of 1867 and published shortly before the commencement of the session of 1868 the leading features of the pamphlet were on the one hand an argument to show the undesirableness for Ireland as well as England of separation between the countries and on the other a proposal for settling the land question by giving to the existing tenants a permanent tenure at a fixed rent to be assessed after due inquiry by the state the pamphlet was not popular except in Ireland as I did not expect it to be but if no measure short of that which I proposed would do full justice to Ireland or afford a prospect of conciliating the mass of the Irish people the duty of proposing it was imperative while if on the other hand there was any intermediate course which had a claim to a trial I knew that to propose something which would be called extreme was the true way not to impede or facilitate a more moderate experiment it is most improbable that a measure conceding so much of the tenancy as Mr Gladstone's Irish land bill would have been proposed by government or could have been carried through parliament unless the British public had been led to perceive that a case might be made and perhaps a party formed for a measure considerably stronger it is the character of the British people or at least of the higher and middle classes who pass muster for the British people that to induce them to approve of any change it is necessary that they should look upon it as a middle course they think every proposal extremely violent unless they hear of some other proposal going still farther upon which their antipathy to extreme views may discharge itself so it proved in the present instance my proposal was condemned but any scheme for Irish land reform short of mind came to be thought moderate by comparison I may observe that the attacks made on my plan usually gave a very incorrect idea of its nature it was usually discussed as a proposal that the state should buy up the land and become the universal landlord though in fact it only offered to each individual landlord this as an alternative if he liked better to sell his estate than to retain it on the new conditions and I fully anticipated that most landlords would continue to prefer the position of land owners to that of government annuitance and would retain their existing relation to their tenants often on more indulgent terms than the full rents on which the compensation to be given them by government would have been based this and many other explanations I gave in a speech on Ireland in the debate on Mr. McGuire's resolution early in the session of 1868 a corrected report of this speech together with my speech on Mr. Fortescue's bill has been published not by me but by my permission in Ireland another public duty of a most serious kind it was my lot to have to perform both in and out of parliament during these years a disturbance in Jamaica provoked in the first instance by injustice and exaggerated by rage and panic to the premeditated rebellion had been the motive or excuse for taking hundreds of innocent lives by military violence or by sentence of what were called court-martial continuing for weeks after the brief disturbance had been put down with many added atrocities of destruction such as property logging women as well as men and a general display of the brutal recklessness which usually prevails when firing sword or let loose the perpetrators of those deeds were defended and applauded in England by the same kind of people who had so long upheld Negro slavery and it seemed at first as if the British nation incurred the disgrace of letting pass without even a protest excesses of authority as revolting as any of those for which when perpetuated by the estimates of other governments Englishmen can hardly find terms sufficient to express their abhorrence after a short time however an indignant feeling was roused and voluntary association formed itself under the name of Jamaica committee to take such deliberation and action as the case might admit of and adhesions poured in from all parts of the country I was abroad at the time but I sent in my name to the committee as soon as I heard of it and took an active part in the proceedings from the time of my return it was much more at stake than only justice to the Negroes imperative as was that consideration the question was what are the British dependencies and eventually perhaps Great Britain itself were to be under the government of law or of military license what are the lives and persons of British subjects are at the mercy of any two or three officers however raw and inexperienced or reckless and brutal whom a panic-stricken governor or other functionary may assume the right to constitute into a so-called court martial this question could only be decided by an appeal to the tribunals and such an appeal the committee determined to make their determination led to a change in the chairmanship of the committee as the chairman Mr. Charles Buxton thought it not unjust indeed but inexpedient to prosecute Governor Irie and his principal subordinates in the criminal court but a numerously attended general meeting of the association having decided this point against him Mr. Buxton withdrew from the committee though continuing to work in the cause and I was quite unexpectedly on my own part proposed and elected chairman it came in consequence my duty to represent the committee in the House of Commons sometimes by putting questions to the government sometimes as the recipient of the questions more or less provocative addressed by individual members to myself but especially as speaker in the important debate originated in the session of 1866 by Mr. Buxton and the speech I then delivered is that which I should probably select as the best of my speeches in Parliament for more than two years we carried on the combat trying every avenue legally open to us to the courts of criminal justice a bench of magistrates in one of the most touric counties in England dismissed our case we were more successful before the magistrates at Bow Street which gave an opportunity to the Lord Chief Justice of the Queens bench Sir Alexander Cockburn for delivering his celebrated charge which settled the law of the question in favor of liberty as far as it is in the power of a judge's charge to settle it there however our success ended for the old Bailey grand jury by throwing out our bill prevented the case from coming to trial it was clear that to bring English functionaries to the bar of a criminal court for abuses of power committed against Negroes and mulattoes was not a popular proceeding with the English middle classes we had however redeemed so far as lay in us the character of our country by showing that there was at any rate a body of persons determined to use all the means which the law afforded to obtain justice for the injured we had elicited from the highest criminal judge in the nation an authoritative declaration that the law was what we maintained it to be and we had given an emphatic warning to those who might be tempted to similar guilt hereafter that though they might escape the actual sentence of a criminal tribunal they were not safe against being put to some trouble and expense in order to avoid it colonial governors and other persons in authority will have a considerable motive to stop short of such extremities in future end of section 20 recording by Tony Richardson section 21 autobiography of John Stuart Mill this is the LibriVox recording all LibriVox recordings are in the public domain for more information if you volunteer please visit LibriVox.org recording by Tony Richardson chapter 7 part 6 view of the remainder of my life as a matter of curiosity I kept some specimens of the abusive letters almost all of them anonymous which I received while these proceedings were going on they are evidence of the sympathy felt with the brutalities in Jamaica by the brutal part of the population at home they graduated from coarse jokes, verbal and pictorial up to threats of assassination among other matters of importance in which I took an active part but which excited little interest in the public to deserve particular mention of other independent liberals in defeating an extradition bill introduced at the very end of the session of 1866 and by which though surrender avowedly for political offenses was not authorized political refugees if charged by foreign government with acts which are necessarily incident to all attempts at insurrection which have been surrendered to be dealt with by the criminal courts of the government against which they had rebelled thus making the British government an accomplice in the vengeance of foreign despotisms the defeat of this proposal led to the appointment of a select committee in which I was included to examine and report on the whole subject of extradition treaties and the result was that in the extradition act which passed through parliament after I had ceased to be a member opportunity is given to anyone whose extradition is demanded of being heard before an English court of justice to prove that the offense with which he is charged is readily political because of European freedom has thus been saved from a serious misfortune and our own country from a great equity. The other subject to be mentioned is the fight kept up by a body of advanced liberals in the session of 1868 on the bribery bill of Mr. Disraeli's government in which I took a very active part I had taken counsel with several of those who had applied their minds most carefully to the details of the subject as well as bestowed much thought of my own for the purpose of framing such amendments and additional clauses as might make the bill really effective against the numerous modes of corruption direct and indirect which might otherwise as there was much reasoning to fear be increased instead of diminished by the reform act of the reform act of the reform act we also aim that in grafting on the bill measures for diminishing the mischievous burden of what are called the legitimate expenses of elections among our many amendments was that of Mr. Fawcett for making the returning officers expenses a charge on the rates instead of on the candidates another was the prohibition of paid canvases and the limitation of paid agents 2-1 for each candidate a third was the extension of the precautions and penalties against bribery to municipal elections which are well known to be not only a preparatory school for bribery at parliamentary elections but habitual cover for it the conservative government however when once they had carried the leading provision of their bill for which I voted and spoke the transfer of the jurisdiction in election from the House of Commons to the judges made a determined resistance to all other improvements and after one of our most important proposals that of Mr. Fawcett had actually obtained a majority they summoned the strength of their party and threw out the clause in a subsequent stage the liberal party in the House was greatly dishonored by the conduct of many of its members in giving no help whatever to this attempt to secure the necessary conditions for an honest representation of the people with their large majority in the House they could have carried all the amendments or better ones if they had better to propose but it was late in the session members were eager to set about their preparations for the impending general election and while some such as Sir Robert and Struther honorably remained at their post though rival candidates were already hand-bassing their constituency a much greater number placed their electioneering interests before their public duty many liberals are looked with indifference on legislation against bribery thinking that it merely diverted public interest from the ballot which they considered very mistakenly as I expect it will turn out to be a sufficient only remedy from these causes our fight though kept up with great vigor for several nights was wholly unsuccessful and the practices which we sought to run more difficult prevailed more widely than ever in the first general election held under the new electoral law in the general debates on Mr. Disraelis reform bill my participation was limited to the one speech already mentioned but I made the bill an occasion for bringing the two great improvements which remain to be made in representative government formally before the house and the nation one of them was personal or as it is called with equal propriety proportional representation I brought this under the consideration of the house by an expository and argumentative speech on Mr. Hare's plan and subsequently I was active in support of the very imperfect substitute for that plan which in a small number of constituencies parliament was induced to adopt this poor makeshift had scarcely any recommendation except that it was a partial recognition of the evil which it did so little to remedy as such however it was attacked by the same fallacies and required to be defended on the same principles as a really good measure and its adoption in a few parliamentary elections as well as the subsequent introduction of what is called the cumulative vote in the elections for the London School Board have had the good effect of converting the equal claim of all electors to a proportional share in the representation from a subject of merely speculative discussion into a question of practical politics much sooner than would otherwise have been the case this assertion of my opinions on personal representation cannot be credited with any considerable or visible amount of practical result it was otherwise with the other motion which I made in the form of an amendment to the reform bill and which was by far the most important perhaps the only really important public service I performed in the capacity of a member of parliament to strike out the words which were understood to limit the electoral franchise to males and thereby to admit to the suffrage all women who as householders or otherwise possessed the qualification required of male electors for women not to make their claim to the suffrage at the time when the elected franchise was being largely extended would have been to abdure the claim altogether and the movement on the subject was begun in 1866 when I presented a petition for the suffrage signed by a considerable number of distinguished women but it was as yet uncertain whether the proposal would obtain more than a few stray votes in the house and when after a debate in which the speakers on the countryside were conspicuous by their feebleness the votes recorded in favor of the motion amounted to 73 made up by pairs and tellers to above 80 the surprise was general and the encouragement great the greater two because one of those who voted for the motion was Mr. Bright a fact could only be attributed to the impressions made on him by the debate as he had previously made no secret of his non-concurrents in the proposal the time appeared to my daughter Ms. Helen Taylor to have come for forming a society for the extension of the suffrage of women the existence of the society is due to my daughter's initiative its constitution was planned entirely by her and she was the soul of the movement during the first years though delicate health and super abundant occupation made her decline to be a member of the executive committee many distinguished members of parliament professors and others and some of the most imminent women of whom the country can boast became members of the society a large proportion either directly or indirectly through my daughter's influence she having written the greater number and all the best of the letters by which adhesions was obtained even when those letters bore my signature in two remarkable instances those of Miss Nightingale and Miss Mary Carpenter the reluctance of those ladies had at first felt to come forward for it was not on their past difference of opinion was overcome by appeals written by my daughter though signed by me associations for the same object were formed in various local centers Manchester, Edinburgh Birmingham, Bristol and Glasgow and others which have done much valuable work for the cause all the societies take the title of branches of the National Society for Women's Suffrage but each has its own governing body and acts in complete independence of the others I believe I've mentioned all that is worth remembering of my proceedings in the house but their enumeration in complete would give but an inadequate idea of my occupations during that period and especially of my time taken up by correspondence for many years before my election to Parliament I had been continually receiving letters from strangers mostly addressed to me as a writer on philosophy and either propounding difficulties or communicating thoughts on subjects connected with logic or political economy in common I suppose with all who are known as political economists I was a recipient of all the shallow theories and absurd proposals by which people are perpetually endeavouring to show the way to universal wealth and happiness by some artful reorganization of the currency when there were signs of sufficient intelligence in the writers to make it worthwhile attempting to put them right I took the trouble to point out their errors until the growth of my correspondence made it necessary to dismiss such persons with very brief answers many however of the communications I received were more worthy of attention than these and in some oversights of detail were pointed out in my writings which I was thus unable to correct correspondence of this sort naturally multiplied with the multiplication of the subjects on which I wrote especially those of a metaphysical character but when I became a member of Parliament I began to receive letters on private conferences on every imaginable subject that related to any kind of public affairs however remote from my knowledge or pursuits it was not my constituents in Westminster who laid this burden on me they kept with remarkable fidelity to the understanding on which I had consented to serve I received indeed now and then an application from some ingenuous youth to procure for him a small governmental appointment but these were few and how simple and ignorant the writers were was shown by the fact that the applications came in about equally whichever party was in power my invariable answer was that it was contrary to the principles on which I was elected to ask favors of any government but on the whole any part of the country gave me less trouble than my own constituents the general mass of correspondence however swelled into an oppressive burden at the time and henceforth a great proportion of all my letters including many which found their way into the newspapers were not written by me but by my daughter at first merely from her willingness to help in disposing of a mass of letters greater than I could get through without assistance but afterwards because I thought the letter she wrote superior to mine and more so in proportion to the difficulty and importance of the occasion even those which I wrote myself were generally much improved by her as is also the case with all the more recent of my prepared speeches of which and of some of my published writings not a few passages and those the most successful were hers while I remained in parliament my work as an author was unavoidably limited to the recess during that time I wrote besides the pamphlet on Ireland already mentioned the essay on Plato published in the Edinburgh review and reprinted in the third volume of dissertations and discussions and the address which conformably to custom I delivered to the University of St Andrews whose students had done me the honor of electing me to the office of rector in this discourse I gave expression to many thoughts and opinions which had been accumulating in me through life respecting the various studies which belong to a liberal education their uses and influences and the mode in which they should be pursued to render their influences most beneficial the position taken up vindicating the high educational value alike of the old classic and new scientific studies on even stronger grounds urged by most of their advocates and insisting that it is only the stupid inefficiency of the usual teaching which makes those studies be regarded as competitors instead of allies was I think calculated not only to aid and stimulate the improvement which was happily commenced in the national institutions for higher education but to diffuse just the ideas than we often find even in highly educated men on the conditions of the highest mental cultivation during this period also I commenced and completed soon after I had left parliament the performance of a duty to philosophy and to the memory of my father by preparing and publishing an edition of the analysis of the phenomena of the human mind with notes bringing up the doctrines of that admirable book to the latest improvements in science and in speculation this was a joint undertaking the psychological notes being furnished in about equal proportions by Mr. Bain and myself while Mr. Grote supplied some valuable contributions on points in the history of philosophy which were evidently raised and Dr. Andrew Fend later supplied the deficiencies in the book which had been occasioned by the imperfect philological knowledge of the time when it was written having been originally published at a time when the current of metaphysical speculation ran in a quite opposite direction to the psychology of experience and association the analysis had not obtained the amount of immediate success which it deserved though it had been made a deep impression on many individual minds and had largely contributed through those minds to create that more favorable atmosphere for an association psychology of which we now have the benefit admirably adapted for a class book of the experience of metaphysics it only required to be enriched and in some cases corrected by the results of more recent labors in the same school of thought to stand as it now does in company with Mr. Bain's treatises at the head of the systematic works on analytic psychology in the autumn of 1868 the parliament which passed the reform act was dissolved and at the new election for Westminster I was thrown out not to my surprise nor I believe to that of my principal supporters though in the few days preceding the election they had become more sanguine than before that I should not have been elected at all would not have required any explanation what excites curiosity is that I should have been elected the first time or having been elected then should have been defeated afterwards but the efforts made to defeat me were far greater on the second occasion than on the first for one thing the Tory government was now struggling for existence and success in any contest was of more importance to them then too all persons of Tory feelings were far more embittered against me individually than on the previous occasion many who had at first been either favourable or indifferent were vehemently opposed to my re-election as I had shown in my political writings that I was aware of the weak points in democratic opinions some conservatives it seems had not been without hopes of finding me an opponent of democracy as I was able to see the conservative side of the question they presumed that like them I could not see any other side yet if they had really read my writings they would have known that after giving full weight that appeared to me well grounded in the arguments against democracy I unhesitatingly decided in its favour while recommending that it should be accompanied by such institutions as were consistent with its principle and calculated to ward off its inconveniences one of the chief of these remedies being proportional representation on which scarcely of the conservatives gave me any support some Tory expectations appeared to have been founded on the approbation I had expressed of plural voting under certain conditions and it has been surmised that the suggestion of this sort made in one of the resolutions which Mr. Disraeli introduced into the house preparatory to his reform bill a suggestion which meeting with no favour he did not press may have been occasioned by what I had written on the point but if so it was forgotten that I had made it an express condition that the privilege of that plurality of votes should be annexed to education not to property and even so had approved of it only on the supposition of universal suffrage how utterly inadmissible such plural voting would be under the suffrage given by the present reform act is proved to any who could otherwise doubt it by the very small weight which the working classes are found to possess in elections even under the law which gives no more votes to any one elector than to any other while I thus was far more obnoxious to the Tory interests and to many conservative Liberals than I had formally been the course I pursued in parliament had by no means been such as to make Liberals generally at all enthusiastic in my support it has already been mentioned how large a proportion of my prominent appearances had been on questions on which I had differed from most of the liberal party or about which they cared little and how few occasions there had been on which the line I took was such as could lead them to attach any great value to me as an organ of their opinions I had more overdone things which had excited many minds a personal prejudice against me many were offended by what they called the persecution of Mr. Eyrie and still greater offense was taken at my sending a subscription to the election expenses of Mr. Bredlaw having refused to be at any expense for my own election and having had my offices defrayed by others I felt under a peculiar obligation to subscribe in my turn where funds were deficient for candidates whose election was desirable I accordingly sent subscriptions to nearly all the working class candidates and among others to Mr. Bredlaw he had the support of the working classes having heard him speak I knew him to be a man of ability and he had proved that he was the reverse of a demagogue by placing himself in strong opposition to the prevailing opinion of the democratic party on two such important subjects as Malthusianism and personal representation many of this sort who while sharing the democratic feelings of the working classes had political questions for themselves and had courage to assert their individual convictions against popular opposition were needed as it seemed to me in Parliament and I did not think that Mr. Bredlaw's anti-religious opinions even though he had been intemperate in the expression of them ought to exclude him in subscribing however to the election I did what would have been highly imprudent if I had been at liberty to consider only the interest of my own reelection and as might be expected the utmost possible use both fair and unfair was made of this act of mind to stir up the electors of Westminster against me to these various causes this use of the usual pecuniary and other influences on the side of my Tory competitor while none were used on my side it is to be ascribed that I failed at my second election after having succeeded at the first No sooner was the result of the election known than I received three or four invitations to become a candidate for other constituencies chiefly counties but even if success could have been expected and this without expense I was not disposed to deny myself the relief of returning to private life I had no cause to feel humiliated at my rejection by the electors and if I had the feeling would have been far outweighed by the numerous expressions of regret which I received from all sorts of persons and places and in a most marked degree from those members of the Liberal Party in Parliament with whom I had been accustomed to act since that time little has occurred which there is need to commemorate in this place I returned to my old pursuits and to the enjoyment of a country life in the south of Europe alternating twice a year with the residents of some weeks or months in the neighborhood of London I have written various articles and periodicals chiefly and my friend Mr. Mosley's fortnightly review have made a small number of speeches on public occasions especially at the meetings of the Women's Suffrage Society have published this Subjection of Women written some years before with some additions by my daughter and myself and have commenced the preparation of matter for future books of which it will be time to speak more particularly if I live to finish them here therefore for the present this memoir may close end of section 21 recording by Tony Richardson is the end of the autobiography of John Stuart Mill

Welcome back to the 21 convention. I hope everybody had a great lunch. Our next speaker has been supporting the convention since 2008. He is the world's number one pickup artist. Welcome, Adam Lyons. Awesome. Hey guys, it's good to be back. I like it in Orlando. I know the 21 convention sort of like traveled around and being sort of everywhere. Orlando feels like home. It's like this is where it started. Got a lot of new faces. There's so many people here that I sort of haven't seen before, which is really cool. I want to talk a little bit before I get going. I've got a pretty fun talk for you guys. We're going to be covering something. It's one of those topics that's like a staple in the pickup community. It's like everyone knows it and yet no one actually knows how to use it or how it works. So I kind of want to just bring that up a bit and sort of explain to you a number of different ways to use this really powerful technique. But before I get into that, I kind of want to explain about getting an idea of kind of like the kind of people that we've got around us and the kind of people that you guys are. So very quickly before I start, how many of you guys are like a very would consider yourself sort of like amateurs? You're like new to this. You want to get good? Just a show of hands. Two, three, four, five, six, a few of you. Okay. And now how many of you would say you're sort of quite proficient at this? You've been doing this for a while and you're pretty good. Raise your hands. So, okay, so that's that's much less. One guy's like, I'm not sure. I'm in between. I'm kind of, I'm kind of, you know, depends who you compare me with. He's like, you know, if you compare me to somebody who's really bad, I'm good. You can pay me somebody who's really good. I'm bad. Okay, that's that's where he is. Okay, cool. First of all, I like to think about where did we come from? What, you know, why, why do we suck? Why, why were we not very good? And I've got a lot of theories about this and we're going to be looking into that a little bit. One of the big ones is I think I can pinpoint the exact moment my game started dropping. I came from a really interesting background. So I'm going to share this with you. I've never shared this before. It's a funny thing. In my local layer, it became like a funny thing to talk about like Adam's background. They'd be like, when it first came out, everyone's like, oh my God, really? They're your parents? I'll be like, yeah. And they're like, man, it's crazy. My, my mom was a stripper and my dad was a, like a croupier for Playboy Casino. And so they were, they were my parents and everyone's like, oh my God, you came from that background. You needed to learn games like you're the one, you know, you're bringing foundation, pulling it all together and showing everybody how it should be done. You learned the game and you went back to where it was. And I'm pretty sure I would have been a natural, pretty sure a long time ago, I think I would have been a natural, but I know when it happened. I can exactly pinpoint what happened. There I am going out at school, hanging out with all of my classmates at school, sort of like little Adam. And as I'm hanging out there, I see this girl and we start floating. Now, this is like, you know, eight-year-old floating or whatever. It's not real floating. It's kind of like you look at each other, you smile at each other, she smiles at you, you giggle, you look away from each other. It's that kind of like silly little floating, you know? We were before the stage of handing each other notes in class and probably just before the stage of telling our friends to tell the other we liked each other, but we'd gone past the point where we hated each other and we're hitting each other. You know, it was like that kind of stage. And so, I'm there and I finally get the courage to go up to this girl and sort of tell her what I think about, tell her that I like her. And there's like a little old me, maybe I was 9, 10, whatever, but I was only a little. And I go up to her and I'm like, hey, I just want to say like I really like you and I wonder if you want to go to the school dance. And all her friends are with her and they look at me and they go, no. She wouldn't want to go and dance. Why would she want to dance with you? She's much better than you are. And that was the start of the end of my ability to observe what was going on. Because what happens is I learnt that when a girl is attracted to me, when a girl is showing me a sign of interest, actually it means she doesn't want me. And that takes shape in the rest of my life. So you can now fast forward 15 years from that point and now I'm sort of like, you know, 23 and I see a girl in the bar and she looks at me and she smiles and she looks away. And I learn, oh, she's waiting to, you know, to let me down. She's going to make me look bad. She's going to make a fool of me. I better not talk to her. That's what I learnt. That was like my process of growing up. And then it took coming to game to realize that actually that isn't necessarily true. What happened in the past was she had bad friends. There were social groups going on. Her friends were jealous or whatever the reason was. But that literally was one of about a thousand things that stopped me from potentially being the natural. Like I may have been able to be. And my argument about game, I don't think everyone's like natural is not natural. I don't think there's such a thing as a natural. I think we're all naturals. I think inside every single one of you, you have the ability to be good. Just get an idea. Who here agrees with that? Who here thinks actually inside them, raise your hands high so I can see. That's like the whole room, right? Every single one of us does believe that. And like, this is a really big point. And I hate the guys that are sort of like, oh, you know, I studied this natural or whatever or this natural is really good. You know, we're all good. Just some of us have different problems in our past. We have issues and we don't see things necessarily the way they should be. Perception is a very important part of reality. It's a very important part of game. Today, I'm going to be teaching you a little bit of voodoo mumbo jumbo stuff. I'm going to show you how to fuck with reality a little bit. So I want you guys to pay attention to what's going on. Not just what I'm saying, but the way I'm saying it. Because we're going to be revisiting some of what I'm talking about and showing you that actually what's going on up here might be a little bit more than meets the eye. And there will be people that don't see it. There will be people that are like, no, there's nothing going on there. But they're just not really focusing on actually what's going on behind the words in the subtle subcommunication. If you think about it, the majority of communication isn't done by the actual words. It's done by the subtle, nonverbal communication that we use. And I'm going to start getting you guys to maybe wake up to some of the verbal subcommunication we use. Not the nonverbal stuff, but the verbal subcommunication, which is also going on. So we're going to be revisiting that. It's going to get a bit complicated, but try and bear with me and hope you guys understand. Before I go on, just out of interest, obviously we've spoken about guys that are shy and sort of like a little bit unconfident, which is definitely where I was. Standing up on stage was something that was always going to be scary for me. I always liked the idea of being up on stage. I remember as a kid, I wanted to sort of like do public speaking, but I was always scared of doing it. And I forced myself to do public speaking classes as a kid. And so I'd get up there on stage. I remember being really scared, and it was only the more I did it, the better I got at it. And games, the same thing. When I first came up with the idea of doing game, it was very scary. The idea of talking to someone I've never met before, talking to a girl, that's a very scary process. And yet, the more I did it, the easier it got. So again, just a question. How many of you here are scared of approaching still? How many of you is that a problem for? Raise your hand. That's a very small number, right? There's a few of you guys. Some of you are still scared. Okay. The more you do it, that lessens, but it never really goes away. As a complete set of everything, how many of you would be okay coming up on stage? Sorry, how many of you would be scared about the concept of coming up on stage and giving a public speaking talk? Raise your hand if the idea of standing up on stage scares you. Just... No one. That's awesome. Now everyone's hands are going up. One, two... Anyone else? Raise your hands high, guys, so we can see one, two, three. Yeah, right. All right, cool. Let's just get an idea. Cool. So what's really fascinating is a lot of you guys would be a lot more comfortable coming up on stage than you would actually going out and meeting girls and talking to girls, which is ironic, because one of the biggest fears that people tend to have is actually public speaking and going up on stage. So all of these things you can get rid of by practice. The more you do something, the better you get. But being armed with the correct tools for practice helps. You guys see what I'm saying there? Having the correct tool when you go out in practice ensures that you've got a much higher success rate than if you went out there alone. Imagine going to fight a war and someone said, all right, Son, are you ready? Here's your little pea shooter here, your catapult. You're going to go with that. Everyone else has got AK-47s. But you've got good spirit, good heart, I believe in you. No, they're setting you up for failure. If you've got the right tools before you go out there, you've got a good chance of success. Now, having said that, the situations that you're going to be meeting, they don't require actual physical tools. They require verbal tools. And so during this talk, we're going to be talking about the power of qualification and how qualification can actually empower you in a number of different situations to bypass situations and problems that you may be having and also how to use it to refine the work that you're doing. Now, let's start off with...

Consent form in Research - Components of consent form #research #consentmatters #consent #health
|
A consent form is a vital document used in research studies to inform participants about the study's purpose, procedures, potential risks and benefits, and their rights as participants. It ensures that participants provide their voluntary and informed consent to participate in the study. Here are some key elements to include in a research consent form:
Study Title: Clearly state the title or name of the research study.
Purpose of the Study: Provide a concise description of the research objectives and why the study is being conducted.
Procedures: Explain the study procedures in simple and understandable language, detailing what participants will be asked to do and how data will be collected.
Duration: Specify the estimated duration of the study and the time commitment required from participants.
Risks and Benefits: Clearly outline any potential risks, discomforts, or inconveniences associated with participating in the study, as well as the potential benefits to participants or society.
Confidentiality and Privacy: Explain how participant information will be handled, ensuring confidentiality and anonymity where appropriate. Mention any exceptions to confidentiality, such as legal obligations or reporting requirements.
Voluntary Participation: State that participation is entirely voluntary, and participants have the right to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty or consequences.
Informed Consent: Emphasize that participants have the right to ask questions, seek clarification, and have access to additional information before providing their consent. Highlight the importance of reading and understanding the consent form before signing.
Contact Information: Provide contact details of the researcher(s) or a designated person who can address any questions or concerns regarding the study.
Signature and Date: Include spaces for the participant's signature and the date of signing.
It is essential to adapt the consent form to meet the specific requirements of your research study, considering factors such as the nature of the study, the target population, and any applicable ethical guidelines or institutional requirements. Always seek guidance from your research ethics board or relevant authorities to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and ethical standards.

Hello friends. In this video, we are going to discuss about consent form in research. In this video, I am going to discuss about why consent form is important and also parts of consent form which will be helpful for framing consent form when you are doing research. Before going to the parts of the consent form, let me make you clear why consent form is necessary. Informed consent form is essential in research as it ensures individual autonomy. It is the written direct proof of researchers respecting the right of the participants. Secondly, we need consent form for legal purposes. Institutions will approve researchers only when consent form is properly taken. In this presentation, we have 10 parts of consent form. First is the introduction. Under introduction, we need to mention about the title of the research, names of the researchers who are involved in the research and name of the department and school or institution performing the research. All needs to be mentioned in the introduction section. Like this, we need a head introduction heading under which research title and their credentials should be given. Second section is the research description where we explain about the study methodology, objectives, purpose, procedure, risks, benefits and compensation if any adverse events and there are any alternatives possible. All will be described in the research description. This will be given as purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, headings. You can add these research description headings as per your needs. Then in consent form, we need to ensure that the information is properly comprehended by the participants. For that, we need to ensure that the consent form is explained and the signature is taken based on the complete understanding after explaining the consent form in patient's own language. Then we need to ensure the competency to make decisions, whether the research participants are competent to make own decisions. Then we need to ensure the volunteerism for a decision and we need to intimate that withdrawal from study or the intervention is possible at any point of the research and also we need to explain about the confidentiality of the information which we collect from the research. So these are some of the headings based on our needs. We need to have confidentiality, volunteerness of the participation, withdrawal can be possible at any point of time need to be mentioned in case if the study continues for a long period or any intervention is provided. Then towards the end, we should have the contact information that is the contact numbers, email IDs of the key researchers at least two researchers contact information should be given. Then followed by the statement of consent where they actually after understanding the research description, the study participants give the statement of consent in this segment and finally the signatures. The research participant will give the valid signature here with the date present and remember this is the consent form. This has this 10 parts which I have mentioned here and we need to provide a patient information sheet which is different from the consent form. Consent form is for the researcher and patient information sheet is for the patient. So we need to provide with the same information in the language comfortable for the participants that need to be handed over to the participant so that all these contact details and other information regarding the research will be provided with them. So to sum up consent is essential for ethical, legal and institutional purposes and we have introduction research description in it and while preparing the parts of the consent we should ensure the comprehension of the information by the participant competency to make decision to participate and volunteerness should be ensured we need to intimate withdrawal from the study is possible any time then confidentiality of the information should be ensured then consent should have contact information, state form of consent and signatures.

You may have heard that SAML is an outdated technology and that you should be using something. While it may be true that SAML is older technology, it is still used by lots of companies and it's very important for you to learn how it works. So watch this video to learn how SAML authentication works. Hi, my name is Will and I'm a developer advocate here at Off-Zero and in today's video we're going to talk about how SAML authentication works and then I'm going to show you how easy it is to set up a SAML connection using Off-Zero. But first, let's talk about what is SAML? Before I get into the tech jargon, let's start by painting a picture of a scenario to show you what SAML is and why it's beneficial. So let's say you just started working at a new company. Let's call that new company, Wezova. You have a work email address and also access to a dashboard. The dashboard has icons for all the other services that you can log into like Expensify, Salesforce, Jira, AWS Services and more. So then you click on the Salesforce icon, some magic happens, and then you're logged into Salesforce without having to enter your username or your password. That magic that happens is SAML. So let's talk about what's going on here. SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language. It's an XML based open standard for transferring identity data between two parties. The two parties being an identity provider and a service provider. The identity provider forms the authentication and passes the user's identity and authorization level to the service provider. The security provider trusts the identity provider and then authorizes the given user access to the requested resource. In the Wezova example, that identity provider would be off zero and the service provider in this scenario would be Salesforce. The Wezova employee logs onto the Wezova dashboard without zero. They click on the Salesforce icon and then Salesforce recognizes that that user wants to log in via SAML. And SAML sends that employee to off zero with a SAML request that asks off zero to authenticate this user. Since the employee is already authenticated without zero, off zero verifies the session and then the sends the user back to Salesforce with the SAML response. Salesforce will check the response and if everything looks good, the employee will be granted access. Now that you're familiar with the scenario that SAML will be used in, next let's talk about the benefits of using SAML. SAML offers an improved user experience. Users only have to log in one time and be able to get access to multiple service providers. This creates a faster authentication experience and less of a user to remember a bunch of different passwords over a bunch of different applications. I don't know about you, but I have way too many passwords to remember. In the case of the was over dashboard, you could have clicked any of the other logos on that dashboard and been able to log in without entering your credential. SAML also offers increased security. SAML gives you a single point of authentication that happens with a secure identity provider. SAML transfers the identity information to the service providers. This ensures that the credentials are only sent to the identity provider directly. It loosens the coupling of directories. SAML does require that the user information is maintained and synced between different directories. It also offers reduced costs for service providers. With SAML, you don't have to maintain account information across multiple different services. The identity provider is the one who bears this burden. Now that you've seen a high level overview of how SAML works, let's dig into the nitty gritty to see the technical details of how everything is accomplished. SAML, single sign on authentication, typically involves a service provider and an identity provider. The process flow usually involves the trust establishment and authentication flow stages. Let's consider another example. Let's say that our identity provider is off zero and our service provider is a fictional service called Zagadat. And our user is trying to gain access to Zagadat using SAML authentication. This is the process flow. The user tries to log in to Zagadat from a browser. Zagadat responds by generating a SAML request. The browser redirects the user to a single sign-in URL that will be provided by off zero in this example. Off zero will parse the SAML request and authenticate the user. This could be with a username or a password or even a social login. If the user is already authenticated with off zero, then this step will actually be skipped. Once the user is authenticated, then off zero will generate a SAML response. Off zero then returns the encoded SAML response to the browser. Then the browser sends the SAML response to Zagadat for verification. If the verification is successful, the user will be logged into Zagadat and will be given access to the resources that they are allowed to view and or modify. Let's look at a SAML request and response and highlight some of the information contained in it. ID is a newly generated number for identification. Issue instant is a timestamp to indicate when it was generated. Assertion consumer service URL. That's the SAML URL interface of the service provider. This is where the identity provider sends the authentication token. Issuer is the identity ID or unique identifier of the service provider. In response to, holds the ID of the SAML request that this response belongs to and recipe, which is the entity ID or unique identifier of the service provider. If you want to learn more about how SAML came to be, what's its status now and what the future of SAML may look like from a panel of experts, I'd highly recommend that you check out the latest episode of the Identity Unlocked Podcast. In that episode, I'll be talking about the past, present and future of SAML. The link for that will be in the description. Alright, so once you're logged into your off-zero account, go to Applications, SSO integrations. Wait for that to load. Then we'll click Create SSO integrations. So here you have a list of all the single sign-in integrations you can use. And to make it fast, I'm just going to search send desk. And then it'll ask you for your permissions. Make sure that you hit Continue. And then, you know, you have the name Zendesk for the integration. And then you want your Zendesk account name. The account name will usually be the first segment of your Zendesk URL. So it'll be accountname.zendesk. So if I head over to my Zendesk account that I have set up for this example, the account name is Test2912. So we'll copy that and I'll paste that here. And then you have a screen that'll give you a tutorial on how to configure everything on Zendesk. Now we'll head over to Zendesk. I will go down to Settings, and then it will go to the Admin Center. When the Admin Center is open, I will go to Account, and then Security here, and then Single Sign-On. As you can see, I already have an off-zero SAML Single Sign-On connection configured, but I'm going to create a new one just for the sake of this demo. So we're going to go create SSO configuration, click on SAML, and then you put the configuration name. For here, I'm going to put off-zero. Then you put the SAML Single Sign-On URL, the certificate fingerprint, and the remote logout URL. All of these values you can get on off-zero site, and it'll be right here in the tutorial. So here's your SAML SSO URL. Copy and paste that, the certificate fingerprint, copy and paste that, and the remote logout URL. Just copy and paste that. So once you put those values in, you can hit Save. I'm not going to save them since I already have one configured, so I'm going to hit Cancel. One thing that's important on the off-zero site is that in the remote logout URL, there is a return to parameter. So this parameter must be set as an allow logout URL in the Advanced tab of your tenant settings. So for this, this is HTTPS, and then Test2912 at Zendex.com. Then you can click the tenant settings, and it would actually take you to the Advanced settings so you can set that URL. And as you see, I already have mine saved right here. So make sure you copy and paste that there. Okay, now once you have it saved on Zendex, it's not automatically configured. So the next thing that you need to do is on the Security tab again in the Admin Center, is go to Team Member Authentication or End User Authentication. So you can set up the single sign-on for Team Members or for Users. So I'm going to click on Team Member Authentication, click on External Authentication, then I'm going to click on Single Sign-On, then I'm going to click on Off-Zero, and click Save. Then I'm also going to click on End User Authentication, then click on External Authentication, and set that to Off-Zero as well. So what this will do now is when we head to our Zendex URL, we will actually be redirected to Off-Zero to be able to handle the login. If the user is already authenticated with Off-Zero, then they'll be able to be logged in. All right, so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to close the Admin Center, then I'm going to click on my profile and actually sign out of Zendex. So as you can see, when I sign out of Zendex, it actually redirects me to Off-Zero and Off-Zero's Universal Login for me to actually log in to the account. For this, I'm going to log in with Google and boom, I am logged in to Zendex. As you see, we were able to configure Zendex as a single sign-in, as a service provider using Off-Zero as the identity provider to be able to sign in to Zendex without actually having to sign in to Zendex itself. As I said before, Off-Zero is adaptable when it comes to configuring SAML, and here are some of the other things that you can do. You can configure Off-Zero as a service provider for SAML Federation. You can have SAML configurations for SSO integrations like Google Apps, Datadog, Cisco WebEx, and more. You can configure Off-Zero to use other identity providers, like OneLogin, Salesforce, or SiteMinder. And you can configure Off-Zero to be the identity provider as well as the service provider for SSO, or single sign-in. So, in conclusion, you learned how SAML works, why it's beneficial, and how you can integrate a SAML SSO connection with Zendex using Off-Zero. Thank you so much for watching this video.

So I want to thank Douglas and Joanna for joining us today. They've been out of school for 15 plus years, right? And have done a lot of work with UN, UN agencies, UN missions. So they're going to share that with us today. And if you have a question, please put it into the Q&A or you can throw it into the chat. And what I'd like to ask you guys each to start with is to kind of just give us your bios. How did you get to where you are today? So Joanna, do you want to start? Sure, OK. Yeah, no, thank you so much for hosting this and hi to the students. And it's great to be in touch. And sorry that some of your summer plans have been adapted or put on hold. It's a tough summer, I think, for everyone. So yes. So as Heather said, I graduated from Tufts in 2004. And I was part of the Epic class that year. And following that, I knew that I wanted to go into international affairs, but I wasn't really sure sort of in which direction that would take, whether it would be towards the peace building side or humanitarian and development side. And so I ended up going to Senegal for a year on a Fulbright research scholarship. And that helped me to sort of solidify that I wanted to work on women in development and women in humanitarian affairs and sort of have that gender angle. But I still wasn't really sure what that looked like. So I knew I needed to sort of get to work. So after that, I went for a master's degree at Columbia in New York. And through that, I started doing some sort of more hands-on work. So I worked with UNDP in the Central African Republic. And then that led to some other opportunities in Africa. And so basically, I've been working in the sort of early recovery context or humanitarian context, mostly in Africa and the Caribbean as well. And then in the past few years or so, at a global level, advising UN agencies that are working in humanitarian affairs on their programming specifically across basically all the regions that they work in. So I came at it from sort of the development angle. And now I'm really sort of squarely in the humanitarian affairs world. And so I've worked with UNICEF, UNHCR. And now I'm working with UNFPA. So I mean, I started out so as a Fulbrighter, it was mostly research. And then so I kind of came at it from that angle, from the research angle. But I also knew that I wanted to work with NGOs and really have that hands-on sort of programming approach. So that's why I started with NGOs and then moved to the UN a little bit later in my career. So that's the summary. Great. Great. Thank you. And can you just explain, I don't know if everyone knows what early recovery? Sure, yeah. So there are different terms now. I think we call it more the humanitarian development nexus. And even that is kind of a recycled term that's been around for a while. But basically, I would just to differentiate it from what Douglas will speak about. We have peacekeeping in the UN. We have UN country programming that takes a more long-term development view and typically works with governments. And so some UN agencies have that development view and work with governments. And then they also do emergency response, which is the humanitarian side. And some UN agencies are really squarely in the humanitarian side of things. But they're being pushed to connect more with the more development oriented agencies. And basically, the whole UN is being encouraged to sort of bring those sides together. And that's been happening for a long time. But there's been sort of substantial UN reform lately that has brought those things together. So that's a roundabout way of saying that early recovery was one of the terms maybe 10 years ago for linking the immediate humanitarian response to thinking about long-term development, linking to government programs and that sort of thing. And so that's continued to be really important. And of course, we see it today in terms of the COVID response, that you have crises in countries that not only have development issues, but also emergency at the same time. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Douglas? All right. So I graduated in 2002, and I did EPIC in 2000, 2001, and then I audited in 01, 02. After, I studied philosophy at Tufts and peace studies. So as every good philosophy major does, I moved back home with my mom after graduation and then worked as a mediator. So I mean, my background is a little bit, I guess, rooted in political activism. And so I knew I was very much interested in sort of interpersonal conflict. And that sort of in a ways come around full circle now in the work that I do now. But initially it was doing victim offender mediation, doing that in courts and in prisons and then also just sort of general activism and getting arrested in 2003 at the start of the Iraq war. And that kind of stuff, which is more of my satisfied that part of the reason why I was interested in mediation is that violence has always been, I don't know, fascinating is not the right word, but it's always been a very important thread, I guess, in everything. My mom is German and I grew up in Germany. So a lot of the way that I think about and approach the world is sort of in the lens of World War Two and the Holocaust and trying to come to terms with what that means and trying to think about institutional ways in which we can respond to atrocities, which is really very much a topic of this year's Epic Class. So I worked for a couple of years as a victim offender mediator in local courts and Hartford, my mom, taught at Trinity. So that was very easy to go to live there and still show up for some epic stuff than the following year. Then I went to Nigeria and I realized at a certain point I was working there doing local work on an inter and on a communal basis in some communities in the so-called middle belt and in the Niger Delta. And it occurred to me when I was looking for jobs and I wasn't hardly getting paid anything that every all the jobs that I was interested in that seemed really exciting to me, all required a master's where they would say master's required, PhD desirable or something like that. And so I thought, oh, shit, well, I guess that means I'm going to go back to graduate school, something that I thought that I wouldn't do because both my parents are academics. So it didn't really make, you know, it wasn't something that seemed obvious. So I went, I did a JD and then an LLM. And after that sort of during that time with the initial idea was to work in mediation and doing that. And so I thought that having a JD would at least make me sound credentialed in the way that having a philosophy degree might not. I still love having a philosophy degree. So I'm not trying to bad enough for any philosophy majors out there. And so then I, but while I was in law school, I sort of fell in love with with international criminal law, so-called humanitarian law, which is different, you know, for I don't know if you've how much reading you've done on humanitarian law, which is different from the humanitarian work that there was just, you know, that Joanna was just talking about. So then I went off to Cambodia and I started working at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in the prosecution and that sort of precipitated, I don't know, five, six years of working at the Special Corp for Sierra Leone in The Hague and working at the International Criminal Tribunal for Wanda in Arusha on two different stints, working in Bahrain on a Truth Commission or sort of a human rights investigation out of Truth Commission by the Human Rights Investigation, the so-called Bass Uni Commission and then working in Sicily on the Libyan Civil War. So then, you know, while I was in Rwanda, sort of the story of my life with the UN has been in some ways, sort of short term consultancies and then getting jobs as a staff member closing missions. So I worked at the Rwanda Tribunal and then got a job in 2014 to go to the Liberia to work with the peacekeeping mission there. And that's when my sort of career shifted a little bit from doing international criminal law to doing a rule of law work, which is different again, because that sort of talks about if international criminal law is looking retroactively or retrospectively at what has happened and trying to figure out what to do about it. Rule of law work and the type that I do is very much thinking about prospectively and the types of work in these institutions that we create to do or to prevent atrocities or to rebuild states in a way after they've been broken in some profound ways. And now the last few years I've been in Afghanistan and we'll be going to South Sudan as soon as things get better. So that's the short part of it. And I just say that, you know, in Afghanistan, we talk not just about the so called double nexus, but the triple nexus since everything always has to increase in number and seriousness, I guess. So we can talk about that, too, if people are interested. Great. Great. Thank you. And so now I'd like to ask each of you to really kind of talk about your experiences working with the UN, kind of, you know, whether it's been as a consultant, whether it's been hired as a staffer in missions in the home offices, you know, like, what are all the the different pieces of that to think about if people are considering and kind of wanting to work with the UN or going in that direction. Joanne, do you mean? Yeah, sure. Sure. So I mean, so I've been working with the UN, let's see, for about about six years. And I've worked mostly as a consultant, actually, but also as a staff member, temporary staff member for various reasons. But yes, there are those different sort of contract types, which are important to think about. There are opportunities like UNB and JPO, which is UN Volunteer and Junior Professional Officer, which I think can be very good opportunities if you can get in young, because you do start kind of at the bottom of a very long ladder. And I'd say, I mean, from the humanitarian side, at least the biggest difference between NGOs and the UN and from someone who worked, you know, in the field with NGOs for a while before switching back to the UN. There's a there's a big hierarchy in the UN. And it's a little bit tough to to sort of jump around that or jump over that. So so when you start sort of right out of grad school, it typically would be in a like a UNB position or a junior professional officer position, again, at least on the humanitarian side and also from what I know of UNDP. But those can be interesting entry points. So, for example, you know, Tufts has a very international student body. So if they're if your countries are sponsoring JPO's, I would really encourage you to apply, you know, that being said, the UN takes JPO's who are, you know, I think up to 34 and they take people who are, you know, 33 and eight months and you have people who've already worked as a lawyer somewhere or have done other things. So the competition is stiff. But I think if you can start that way, it's good. And otherwise, there's also the possibility of starting out with NGOs or with with civil society organizations or or basically just anything outside the UN and sort of coming in laterally when you develop a sort of technical expertise or perhaps a regional expertise that would that would make sense for certain agencies. And so I guess in my experience, the thing that I liked about it and what drew me to it after having worked with NGOs for quite some time, both in the field and the headquarters was I was looking for sort of more of a global viewpoint, having a just a larger scale impact just because the UN works in, you know, almost every country. So it does have that that ability to sort of go to scale to be able to have also a little bit more of an advocacy role with donors. So obviously the UN has donors, but it can also advocate back to donors in terms of global policy. And and and I think also the the the component of working with governments looking for sort of national solutions. Working locally is really, really important. And I, you know, throughout my career, I've been happy to support local organizations, but I think that there has to be something also embedded at the national level in terms of sustainability. So that that also sort of drew me into the to the UN after having worked with NGOs. Yeah. That was also for me. I mean, if you want to do international criminal law, there was obviously the International Criminal Court, but that was when I was sort of coming into this, that was not realistic for a variety of reasons and Cambodia sort of presented itself. So for me, you know, coming into the UN was inevitable in that sense. If I wanted to do international criminal law, there was no other real avenue. Now, there are some others you can work with NGOs. There's some really interesting work being done in Syria and Iraq with ISIS. There's there's a lot of different ways in which you can approach it. But if you want to do a courtroom work and having sort of in spite of myself falling in love with the workings of the wall and thinking about how it functions, going or entering the UN was was almost inevitable. And so I always say this, I mean, you know, if you want to work for the UN, I think you have to understand what the what the advantages are, what you can do and what you can't do. So it's it's it's incredibly powerful in terms of the access to leadership to heads of state. I mean, it's it, you know, in the I mean, it's an intergovernmental organization. So it's not an NGO. So we are, you know, at least I work in the Secretariat, the so-called Secretariat. So there, I mean, our budgets are approved by the member states in the General Assembly. We are accordingly sort of handcuffed because our job is is is in part to be critical and we do we do criticize. But the the way in which we approach things is very different. And so there's a tradeoff in terms of the access that you get and what you can do. And then conversely, what you can't say are the ways in which you can say something. So, you know, I mean, I people make fun of me. I mean, I openly identify as an anarchist and I'm a lawyer and I work for the UN and people think I'm crazy and I am. But, you know, there's certain sort of positional stances that you have to be willing to take and what you can say and what you can do. Now, you know, for me on Saturday, because that's the start of the Afghan work week, I'll have a meeting on on or MS teams with the Chief Justice of Afghanistan. Now, that's not something that most people can do. I've met several heads of state where I've sat and meetings with them. That's not something that a lot of NGOs can do. Just by by by dint of what they are. But conversely, because they can do that. And this is sort of the activist side of me that comes out to things. Shit, this is bullshit. Like, what are you doing right now? Why are you doing the work this way? Why are you soft peddling on on important issues? Right. But then you think about, well, you know, if I'm doing this work, then I can also advocate and I can implement a training program that will have an impact on these things. So there's a real trade off between, you know, your positional stance and how much you're wedded to your own approach. So that's the nature of it. You know, I would say and that sort of feeds off the last part. I mean, about getting into the U.N. Yeah, the JPO, the junior professional officer group is great if you want to be spend a career in the U.N. That basically gives you lifetime employment. So that's really the and it has the Cadillac contract, a so-called permanent contract that you get with it, which there are only very few of those in the U.N. system. The other route is a U.N.V. route. And that's also, I think, a good route. But, you know, it again, depends on where you want to go and how you want to work. There's a lot of flexibility, especially in the agency's funds and programs, because they are program driven a lot of times. So they're dependent on donor support in a way that the secretariat isn't. So the secretariat is probably the most conservative in that sense, where I work in a special political mission in Afghanistan, is the most sort of formal and the most procedural and hierarchical in that sense. The lowest, you know, I mean, and then you can go to and maybe join as a different experience of this, having worked with U.N.HCR and other entities. But if you can find a project budget, if you are on the ground in a place where the U.N. system is doing work, that that might be a way of getting into the system. But in the secretariat, which is my experience, it's a little bit more conservative, I guess, I would say. And can you both talk about kind of the differences and the impact of if you come in as a consultant, if you're there as a staffer, like what percentage of people are consultants, say you're working on the ground in a mission versus in a home office type of thing? Whoever. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, for the agencies and funds and programs, as Douglas was saying, I think it really depends on the agency and on, you know, any given year. There are quite a few, there's a pretty high percentage of consultants, I don't know what the actual percentage is, but both at headquarters and in field offices. But honestly, I would say, I think for colleagues who are coming in after having a bachelor's or even just right out of a master's, you can look for those good contracts, but that will set you on a certain path of always looking just for those, as Douglas said, Cadillac contracts and you might then also lose out on really rich field experience, which not only will make you better for the UN, but possibly bring you greater reward. So I think, you know, even for the UN I would agree with Douglas that starting in the field is really important. I have seen, you know, I've been in Geneva for almost five years and I've seen quite a few interns who have just finished their master's and they're really fresh and ready to go and they start in Geneva and they keep, they're desperate to stay and to keep getting a job in the headquarters. And I just want to tell them, get out, get out. This is not it. So that's great. I mean, so if that's, you know, just knowing Tufts and the kind of people that go there and the type of people that end up in Epic, I think my biggest advice would be, get out to the field, get out there. However, that may be whether it's, you know, with an NGO or on a UNB contract or on a consulting contract. And again, once you're there, especially if you consider, I mean, places like Central African Republic, speak French, if you're willing to go to these places, Chad, I mean, you'll move up pretty quickly, which would be much harder to do if you were in Geneva or New York. So that's another thing to consider. So it's a little bit of both. You can think a little bit strategically, but also get really good experience in the field. Douglas? All right, so I was so engrossed in the answer that I forgot the question, but I'll just riff on that, but that's okay. I'm a little bit, you know. Consultant versus staffer. Oh, the consultant versus the contract. Oh. Your contract. So at this point, I've been up, I've been sitting at my desk for 13 hours working today because I'm on Afghanistan time. So that means sitting down at six. So I'm sorry if I'm a little bit spaceier than usual. So yeah, I mean, so in the secretary again, which is my experience, there are fewer consultants. My first job was in the secretary in the tribunal as a consultant, working in Cambodia for $500 a month and no health insurance. Which is sort of on probably the lowest end of the spectrum. And it was also the most fun that I've ever had working, prosecuting. And then again for me, sort of because of my sort of internal, sort of trying to reconcile with myself what it means to be German, what it means to think about atrocities and so on. I mean, it was super exciting and also sort of because of my political stance, thinking about how wrong the Khmer Rouge got things in the final analysis and sort of trying to come to terms politically as sort of a civil libertarian, but then also as sort of a Marxist in that sense. So that was hugely fun. And I would say don't preclude that. So I mean, as handcuffing as perhaps working for the UN can be especially, I think in the secretariat since it's a political beast, there are some really amazingly fun experiences that you can have. And I have never worked in the headquarters. And this is the longest stretch that I've had working in Europe. I guess when I was doing the Libyan Civil War I was living in Sicily. So that was quite nice. But this is the longest stretch that I've had in seven or eight years of living in Europe. I'm not living in Africa or Asia. So I have no desire in that sense to go to Geneva as much as my mom would love me to get a job in Europe. It's really fun, I think, being in the field because you can get access. I mean, in many places, just because of the local context and the local circumstances, there is more freedom in some circumstances to get involved. I mean, that also means that you have to be sort of more conscious because you are an outsider. I mean, I think that I am free to say things about the US or about Germany in ways that I don't feel comfortable saying about Afghanistan or Liberia because it's not my country. And so, I mean, in that sense you might want to be, you have to be culturally delicate about it. But the amount of access that you can get, I think, and the amount of impact and also working with people is, I think, much higher in the field. So in that context, I would definitely try to go through the field route. And then, if you're like me and then you don't have, you end up, I mean, it does have a consequence on your life and your sort of personal life and your friendships because I spend all of my life in places where nobody can visit me and I live in armed compounds. And that has a certain sort of toll as well of working in the field. And maybe it's different in the Central African Republic. I think there people live in Bungie in the city itself. So, but again, I guess, yeah, consultancy is good. If you can get a job, good. But go wherever your heart leads you and wherever you're curious. I think that if you're fascinated by something, that's always the best thing. And if you are fascinated by a job in New York on the sanctions committee or wherever it might be with UN women talking about their global coordination with law and the so-called global focal point or something like that, then do that. I mean, that's because that's fun. That's the exciting part of it. So, you don't have to go to the field either. I'd say just do whatever your heart tells you and your mind tells you to do. Great. I mean, I guess one of the things that comes up in thinking about that is sometimes people are in school or they're leaving school or maybe grad school and they think there's kind of a straight line options to things, right? And I wonder if you both could talk about the role, kind of opportunity or serendipity played kind of in where you ended up or how you found your choices. Hope you get to everyone. Yeah, no, let me come back. I just wanted to come back on something that Chuck said because I think also at some point, and you'll think about this if you're working for NGOs as well, sometimes you come back to Europe or to your home countries also for different reasons. So there's always that later. So, I mean, I have two small kids now so it's just a little bit easier here than in some other places. Like I wouldn't wanna be in a non-family duty station and be away from them but some people are willing to do that. So these are also questions that will come up down the line, especially for those who are still undergraduates. And I certainly was not thinking about that. At that point or in my 20s, but it comes. So it's a question I think for any of these jobs where you're really working at the front lines, so to speak and trying to find that balance. But in terms of serendipity, and I think this links, I saw that there are a couple of questions in the chat box just about, if you can't get in through the JPO side and I didn't, I had applied as an American and I think I got to the final interview for one but they're very competitive and there weren't many American ones at the time. So there are other avenues and I think the serendipity and also the connection comes from the, I mean, linking with alumni is really a huge, huge way to go. So if you can link up with your undergraduate or your graduate alumni, that's how I got my first internship that I did with UNDP was through an alumnus from SIPA but still, and then I also maintained contacts with Tufts alumni and I asked them for advice. And so I think, that sort of sets you on a certain path and then it goes from there. But I think that can be a really great way to also get a foot in the door. If you say, look, I'm willing to go here or here, I'm passionate about this and I see that you're working on that. Use all your skills that you have, language skills. If you've already, I saw one of the questions, if you've already been to grad school, then pitch yourself, show what your niche is, what you can add. And I think also, we're saying about the passion and doing what you're interested in that that will come through. And so even if you're open and you can show that and you're willing to maybe not take the perfect contract but you're willing to be a consultant, then I think there are entry points for sure. Yeah. Douglas? So just to pick up on that, well, being ready to move and to not be locked down. Now I lived in five countries but before the time I reached 10. So I mean, this is sort of being a nomad is sort of easy for me in that sense. And what was it, you know, was it, you know, be wary of any job that requires new clothes. And so now all of a sudden, you know, you get a little bit older and you sort of move along and all of a sudden you have multiple suits and then you have multiple blue colored suits and world gets more complicated. So that's something I don't like, but in the sense that, you know, if you're willing to travel and to be available, you know, I think that, so for instance, when I was in Arusha the first time at the Rwanda Tribunal, I busted my ass for a stretch and then I've been promised that, oh, well, you know, we'll get the funding and we'll keep you on and then that didn't happen. So I went home to Germany and I was really down about it because, you know, you put in the effort and people recognize the effort and then that's not enough. And I was sitting, I was at my cousin's wedding and I came home on a Sunday and I got an email from a former colleague saying, hey, I've got a job. I know that you're looking for something. Can you give a call? So I called and he said, okay, I'm in Bahre working on this Human Rights Commission. If you want a job, you've got it, but you got to be here tomorrow. And so I thought, okay, well, why not? So I just throw all of my stuff in my backpack and they got on a plane. I showed up at the airport and the ticket was there waiting for me and that was actually the bizarre part is that I didn't even have any information about the flight. So I just got in the second class line and I come up to the counter and then I give a woman my passport and then she says, oh, why didn't you go through the business class lane? And I thought, oh, I didn't even know. So that kind of making yourself available I think is important. And in that sense, hard work does get you recognized. People appreciate, I mean, there are a lot of people I don't know what Joanne's experience is. The UN is a mixture of people who are committed and sort of married to the notion in that sense. But there are also a lot of people and this is a hard thing for me sometimes and since I do think of myself as being very ideological in that sense in a positive sense is that you have a lot of people who are there because you earn better than you do in NGOs and you do earn better than you do in a lot of other positions. Although not always if you work in American law, private practice, you'll earn more than you do in the UN but there are a lot of people who are simply working for a paycheck and that's hard. So if you bust your ass then people will also recognize that and they'll work to keep you around. And so I think that making yourself available and being hard working are the two, I think the two most important aspects of that. Obviously being smart is important, being interested is important but really industry I think gets you a long way. And can you talk a little bit about kind of having both kind of soft skills and hard skills and kind of what's helpful to have or what's helpful to develop whether you're still an undergrad or you're going to grad school. Like what would be complementary? What would be seen as an asset? Sure, yeah. I mean, I think on the programming side certainly the social science research skills are really important. I mean, if I think about between Epic and Professor Penben who's now retired but who was basically my inspiration and Tufts. I mean, I learned I think everything that I know now about monitoring and program quality and things like that started at Tufts with just the social science research either in the history department or in international relations and I'm sure they have even a much broader spectrum of things now. So I see the question also about having a background in research. And so I mean, I think it really depends on what you want to do. I did consider in graduate school I wasn't sure if I should do more of those quantitative courses, statistical methods and things like that. And I did the basics but it just wasn't really my thing. And I think then the question is what do you want to use and what do you want to do? So now, I certainly supervise research and I hire consultants and I've been a consultant even for a couple of years myself but I didn't do the quantitative research because it just wasn't my passion. So I think that's also important. So if you think that there's something that you should have the basic skills in and then certainly do it but if it's really not something that you think you could see yourself doing in the long term sort of on a day to day basis then go in a different direction and try to get the other skills that you need. So I think I mean having a background in research certainly didn't, doesn't hurt. And for me it helped me to also refine what I was interested in. And again, for programming I think they're in humanitarian programming and in development programming there's more and more of a push now to show results and to show outcomes. And even if you can contract with different digital service providers and different researchers and things like that you wanna have the basic knowledge to be able to oversee that kind of work. I think it can be helpful. But yes, I mean I think the sort of mix of skills that you can get in the social sciences at Tufts is pretty good and you can top that up with a grad school degree if you're looking at programming. But I also have colleagues who don't have that background at all and they've certainly managed to move ahead in program management. Douglas. So for me I don't have any quantitative skills and I don't have a background in any of that. So for me doing the work that I do I guess the hard scale was becoming a lawyer or getting credentialed at least. And for better or worse the world looks at the number of degrees that you have. I think in the UN the P11 or the personal history profile that used to apply for jobs before you even get to what you've done lists your academic background for better or worse. But so depending on what you want to do you might have to go and get a specialized degree in it. I think that also part of my personal value I mean I don't have any great illusions about how good I am as a lawyer. I think I write well. I think that I'm smart enough but I'm certainly not the smartest person around. But I think that the soft skill of being able to forge effective relationships I think is really important because you do work at least in the UN context where your effectiveness is based on the relationship or at least in the secretariat context and political mission is the relationships that you build with government counterparts and sort of navigating that. My boss who is a really great lawyer is smarter than I am. She often dispatches me to sort of fix relationships and to sort of get things done in that sense. So I think that that's the other skill to have is to be agreeable I guess to people as well. My way is sort of being self-effaceted and joking about going bald and being old and all of those things and that works for me and I think everybody has to find that sort of skill because there are also jobs. I mean, there is a guy named Tochilovsky at the Yugoslavia tribunal and he spent his entire life as a so-called P4 which is senior, it's not the top but he had an encyclopedic mind of case law and so he could say, oh, you'd go to him and ask for a specific problem and he would say, oh, look at page 12 of this pretrial motion or the decision on pretrial motion in case X and you'll find there the answer to what you need and the citation you need and there are people who have that sort of skill and that's their value and then there are other people whose value is really to be a men's in that sense and that's sort of I think where I fit in I mean, I think I'm a good enough lawyer. I don't wanna disparage myself that way but again, I think just being able to get things done and to facilitate those relationships is also an important sort of soft skill if that's what you were asking for in soft skill. Yeah, no, it's exactly. It's like in part of that kind of networking and building relationship, right? So that you can build on that and just going off of that, one of the questions is for you Douglas on how does your JD and LLM degrees, how do they support your work in the UN with the tribunals and other agencies and in the missions? Like, is that what is the critical piece for you in being where you are? Well, obviously I work as a lawyer for the UN so having that, maybe the law is one of the most has the greatest divergence in the way in which people approach problems. One of my colleagues in the office, I mean, I'm a common law lawyer in the sort of the Anglo-Saxon tradition. One of my colleagues is a Kenyan or two of my colleagues are Kenyan and one is Austrian. And then we have a Sharia law scholar and we have a civil Afghan lawyer who doesn't use Sharia. And so then trying to reconcile very different modes of thinking about problems had to approach a problem because my first instinct is to go to American constitutional law or American criminal procedure law, which is a lot of ways similar but also has a different approaches to it. So for instance, right now we are because of COVID, we're talking about the introduction of remote hearings in Afghan courts. And the way an Afghan trial works is so radically different from what I understand as a trial. So in Afghanistan, the prosecutor interviews everyone, puts together a case file, gives it to the judge, the judge reads it, maybe gives it back to the prosecutor for more evidence, then calls everyone in, everybody makes an oral submission where the defense might make a written submission beforehand on the case file. And then basically the prosecution says it's peace, the defense gets up and says it's peace, the judge asks some questions, the accused person gets up and says her peace and then the judge issues a verdict which is so radically different from how I conceive of a trial working. And so then thinking about, okay, so now I've got to put myself in the context of working in an Afghan court. And then also thinking, well, what are the mechanisms for doing a video trial and how would that work and having parties in different places? And so there's a lot of those questions, but of course you always go back to your well of your training. But I think in the end for me, being a lawyer and studying philosophy, I guess in that context too, is just thinking about how to approach problems and thinking about things, I guess. And that second order approach to problems has been really, I think the most important part in being beaten into submission as a first year law student, especially in that first semester is a painful experience. But it also, it breaks you in a lot of ways and you get rebuilt and think about problems in a different way, maybe worse, maybe better in some ways. So for me, I think it's indispensable for what I want to do, although not always because American constitutional law, for instance, has no bearing on the way in which a case might proceed in Afghanistan, in Liberia it's slightly different because of the American colonial experience there, the experience with sort of an almost de facto colonial experience. And then at the tribunals, there was just sort of picking the systems and depending on the vagaries of the judges and your colleagues. So I think law is fun. I mean, I like being a lawyer and I like the way that I think about things, but it also makes you, it changes you as well, I guess. That makes sense. I don't know if that responds exactly to the question. So if I ever do just say Hansen, get on track and then I shut up. No, it's fine. And then Joanna for you. So a question about how valuable the research you did during your fall bright was in terms of next steps, whether grad school or the NGOs or the UN. Yeah, I mean, I kind of talked about it in the last question as well, but I think, I mean, especially if you have a topic that you're passionate about, I think it can help to sort of refine your thinking. If you're working, especially if you're doing field research and you're working with local organizations or international NGOs, that can also be an interesting way to enter into some of those kinds of organizations as well. And I mean, certainly again, having access to and working with national academic institutions as I did on the fall bright and local women's organizations or other sort of local networks is also, you know, it's another way to do that. So it can be really interesting in that sense as well. So I think it did help me. And then, you know, maybe if you have that experience then you may not need to do as many of those kinds of classes in graduate school or vice versa. If you don't do research in the field, you might do it in graduate school. I know for example, now at SIPA where I went to Columbia, they have a required course that all development and humanitarian students have to take where they're doing sort of a pro bono consulting project, which typically involves some kind of research as well. So I think, you know, it comes in one way or another, but definitely do, you know, try to focus on something that's of interest to you. Great. Okay, another question is that I think, Joanna, you mentioned having read, but what advice do you have for a grad student who is later in their careers and too old for the junior officer program? What avenues would you recommend for getting into the UN system? Yeah, I mean, from my side, as I mentioned, I think that, you know, linking up with alumni is really a smart way to go. You know, if you just apply sort of cold, you know, through UN websites and you don't have any connections, sometimes that can be difficult. You know, I'm speaking in my personal capacity right now. So it's not that if you know someone, that means you get a job, not at all. But if you, you know, if you can understand a little bit better the context of where that, you know, what that role is, if you know sort of the kind of experience that's being looked for, and if you've already had some, you know, internship or consulting experience with, you know, the team that you're looking at, because there's so many different sort of niches that you can have within the UN system, as you've seen already, you know, so far, I think that can really help. So if you can work through alumni or be able to get, you know, small projects at least or your first foot in the door or your first internship in that way, even for grad students, I mean, I started as an intern after grad school with, you know, some tiny stipend, and then from there was able then to get sort of first jobs, real jobs. Then that was, yeah, I think that's a good way to go. Great, great. Douglas, anything, did you want to add to that or? Okay, so another question is, to what extent have you considered working for your own national government versus staying at an international organization? We're both fine. Douglas, do you want to take that first? Yeah, well, you know, for me working, well, my boss in Liberia for a while was an American State Department lawyer, and she then tried to afterwards recruit me to go to, it was Rhode Island, the Naval Defense Academy or something like that. Naval College. Yeah, the Naval War College, there you go. You know, and she was a D1, I mean, fairly senior than also in the State Department when she went back and then was seconded from there to Rhode Island. And then she wanted me to come and it was very hard to tell her without seeming sort of insulting about her. Is that there's just no way that I could work for the federal government, you know, even under the previous president. That was just for me because of my approach to the world. That would have been impossible. My father was declared before they introduced conscientious objectors in the U.S. during Vietnam. My father before that was declared, I think, you know, mentally unfit for combat because he refused to be drafted in the early 60s while he was in the civil rights movement. So it was inconceivable and even now, you know, having to, and I say all this off the record, so please don't sort of comment too loudly on this to other people is, you know, look, again, it depends on what you're willing to do. I mean, I'm sort of an internationalist. I don't, I've spent parts of my life in the U.S., I've spent parts of my life in Germany. You know, part of me, the sort of the German experience is that, you know, governments can do wonderful things, but governments can also do horrible things. And I'm aligned to I think principle rather than patriotism in that sense. So, you know, for me working for a government, at least working for the U.N., I've never had a problem so far where I've had to support a position that I don't support. And I'm not to disparage my colleagues who, you know, work for the, for various foreign ministries in the countries where I work, but, you know, they also have to take certain professional stances that I'm not sure that I'd always feel comfortable with or prospectively that just the worry about it would be too great that it wouldn't feel comfortable for me. And that's again just a function of who I am and sort of the way in which I look at and approach the world and I already feel somewhat out of place sometimes when I, you know, working for the U.N., not quite being sure if that's quite the right place for me politically. But I think that at the same time, you know, we are dependent in that sense on our colleagues from national governments. And a day doesn't go by in which I don't call up the head of INL at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. And we have a very good working relationship and we're friends. I mean, he invited, he invites me to some social gatherings that they have. And getting into U.S. embassies anywhere in the world is a moral pain in the ass. So sometimes I just decline just on a logistical basis. But at the same time, it's just what you can, what you can reconcile yourself to, I think is the ultimate question. And there's dignity in doing that work as well. And I think standing up for institutions and right now, you know, speaking sort of very politically, I think right now more than ever, there's a need to strengthen institutions and to really ensure that they have the strength to resist, I think, a real onslaught on them. And so in that context, I think it's also, you know, working for the government is dignified. Doing right is dignified. Being principled is dignified. We're dignifying, but it all just depends on what you feel comfortable with. And for me, I don't think that I would feel comfortable working for any government, national government. Gotcha, gotcha, Joanna? Yeah, no, I think it's a good question. And I'm not sure if the person who asked the question was American, but certainly for, you know, the U.S. State Department, I had a number of colleagues in, especially from graduate school who went on to work for the State Department and came from very diverse backgrounds, even though, you know, from within the U.S., but, you know, with different, many of them with dual nationalities. And so I think there's a lot of work to be done from the inside, for sure. And the same could be said for the U.N., that, you know, if you're looking to make changes as well in big bureaucracies, that could be within your national government, foreign affairs department or development departments, or it could be within the U.N. or even some of the larger NGOs. So there certainly is work to be done in that way. And I also have a number of colleagues who've gone back and forth between their various national governments as well. So France, Italy, the Scandinavian countries, the U.K., they have quite strong sort of rosters and cohorts of technical experts in humanitarian development affairs. And some of them, for example, the Norwegians and the Danish even have standby rosters, they call them, where they deploy people to the U.N. And so, you know, if that's a possibility as well, sometimes you don't even have to be a national of that country. So it can also be another way, actually, I should have mentioned it earlier to even an entry point to the U.N. in different areas. So yeah, I mean, I think, I mean, for me, I just, I was interested in international NGOs and the U.N. for sort of intergovernmental nature, as Douglas was saying, sort of being the sum of its parts in that way. But I think there's also, of course, interesting, certainly interesting technical work to be done on behalf of national governments. And then, you know, eventually, I think once you move up to a senior enough position, then you can also have sort of an advocacy role to play. But maybe it depends on the personality as well and sort of your level of patience in order to get to that level. So I think maybe I was a little impatient after getting out of grad school. Yeah. Okay, here's a question. Thank you both for sharing your experiences. I had some questions about the humanitarian field. I spent the past year working at Oxfam America with their humanitarian team on disaster risk reduction. While there, I heard a lot about the evolution of the humanitarian sector and the humanitarian nexus and particularly on the role of development slash humanitarian agencies and NGOs, which are shifting focus from directing their own interventions and sending people in the field to becoming a more supportive and donor role for local actors and initiatives. I was wondering what you thought about this shift occurring in the humanitarian sector and maybe what you would advise to someone interested in starting out in the humanitarian world. Yeah, no, this is a whole other conversation maybe, but no, I think you've hit the nail on the head. It's certainly, that's certainly one of the big discussions and debates in the humanitarian sector, particularly since the Grand Bargain commitments in 2016 and the Grand Bargain is basically a compact between donors, major UN agencies and the Red Cross as well on how to basically do better humanitarian work and support the humanitarian development nexus. And so one of the big themes therein is called localization and that, another sort of big word, but meaning working more with local actors, building in the capacity of local NGOs. Oxfam has always been at the forefront of that. And I think, sadly, they recently announced even that they will be scaling down a number of their country offices, but part of the reasoning behind that is also to support, if I've understood well, to support local actors as well. So I think that's definitely one of the directions that the humanitarian sector is moving in. Again, fundamentally, the UN does support governments. So the UN agencies that I work with work through implementing partners and they might be international NGOs or national or local NGOs or civil society organizations or in the case of UNFPA where I work now, local health facilities and midwives. So we're talking really sort of grassroots level, but yes, I mean, in terms of capacity building, there's still quite a long way to go. And I think COVID, the COVID context has also shown us, for example, when we can't send in surge capacity that we're looking at sort of local and regional capacity and things like that. So it's an important theme. And in terms of linking to someone who's just starting out in the humanitarian field, again, it's just sort of, it's one of the major themes. And that's why I think being in a position where you are seeing the types of partnerships that can happen at the country level is important because you can see what that really looks like on the ground. And yeah, so it's one thing when we say we want to be more local, we wanna support organizations, but what does that concretely mean in terms of funding and training and those sorts of things? Douglas? Just say it very briefly, you can't do anything without having locals who work with you. And so in so far as that's, people who really wanna have a top-down approach to things are bound to fail because there's no way that I could ever have a contextual understanding of the countries in which I work without having somebody to either implement it because I don't speak the language or because I need somebody to actually explain things to me and make sure that I'm being appropriate in the way in which I approach them. So I think that's a good thing. I would just say, I mean, the only other part of it is sometimes it's very difficult for my national colleagues and this is not quite the same, but I think also that pertains to national NGOs is that we as internationals are transient. So we come into a place and we're there for a certain number of years, two years, three years, four years and that has its drawbacks, but it also means that we are free sometimes to go into meetings and say something that a national couldn't because she has to live there and she would then have to face the minister or whoever and that minister would look back at her and say, so there are certain sort of contexts in which I am free to say and do things that a national couldn't. So it's a double edged or it's a both and not either or I think, but in general, in implementing things and this doesn't apply to the secretariat, but I think in agencies, funds and programs, having someone on the ground who is there, who has a long-term investment in the country and being in the country is indispensable and needs to be supported more and thinking about this synergistically. Great, and our last question is, has the hierarchy bureaucracy international politics involved with working at the UN ever been frustrating for you? I think we'll have to turn off the record. Well, it's more, how do you find ways to work in a bureaucracy where things can, is it things move slowly? How are decisions made? How's the connection to what's happening on the ground reflect back to kind of the main offices, whether in Geneva or New York or wherever? I think I need a minute to think about it. Douglas wants to take a part shot. Well, I'll say that. It was a good question, Heather. Part of the frustration is also internal because I think that as Joanna said earlier, people are hierarchical within the UN too and people sort of having, who did you share a document with before it was sent to so and so? And that sometimes evolves and people have turf things. And I think that that's actually probably the most frustrating sort of politically in my context of times is I think my colleagues. I think that in general, having some humility about the work that we do and to think about, I mean, all of these systems, the places that we work in because something is not functioning quite right. And I think that, you know, looking at the US right now, looking at many places in Europe right now and despite the incredible development and institutions that have grown up coming now from the legal perspective, quite clearly things are not right here either. So I think having some humility in terms of the time frames which we approach problems in the countries in which we work, I think is important. And there's a sort of a delicate line between being sensitive to the difficulty with which things work and then also trying to draw a hard line about needing to implement things. So right now, you know, in Afghanistan, this is very public, you know, corruption is one of the major issues. I mean, it's down near the very bottom of Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. Everybody knows that corruption is a big deal. The government accepts that certain people need to be arrested and to face trial for that and nobody then executes these arrest warrants. And so people are still wandering around or they're covered by it. And so that's frustrating, right? I mean, everybody feels frustrated about those things. But it's also, you know, then trying to steer or navigate the fine line between applying pressure on local counterparts and then also being sensitive to the realities within which they work in Liberia. That was also the same. You know, I worked with the special representative of the Secretary General as a special assistant and, you know, you get dispatched, you know, to go and discuss something with a minister and you sit down and you end up talking about people's families and all that sort of stuff. And you're really waiting to get to the point at hand. And that's frustrating. But at the same time, you have to, I think, also just appreciate, just as a matter, I think, a basic respect for the countries in which we work and the people that work there and the governments with which we work, that you can't just be bullheaded about it. And so in that context, I think I also understand or I'd try to be appreciative at least of the challenges that my colleagues face and sort of trying to understand my national government colleagues and to try to see the realities from which they work and to see about how hard you can push and where you can push and then also where you need to know, where you need to sort of soft pedal and be jubbler about things. Because ultimately they are the ones that have the levers of power in their country. And so that's part of it. And again, that's sort of the handcuff thing that I spoke about at the start is that working for the UN, you simply can't do certain things, right? I mean, it just doesn't work because of the nature of our relationship with our host states. And there are exceptions. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, they're all sorts of different people who do take a more, not adversarial but a more public stance about things that they disagree with. And then there are others that are very much sort of a technical approach or technical role. That's like the work that I have right now is very much technical calling up the guy works for the International Crimes Prosecutor in Afghanistan. And trying, understanding for him what the difficulties are for prosecuting Afghans, well, technically international forces, technically ISIS, technically the government and the realities within which he operates that are very different in which government officials are killed often. Understanding that he himself doesn't have police that report to him. There are a lot of different parts of this. And so that's part of the excitement too, is trying to, and the intellectual curiosity that you have about approaching problems and seeing how to actualize or to make a change in context in which change is very difficult because of the circumstances in which countries find themselves. And in many cases like Afghanistan, the wariness with which people might approach outsiders as well. And that's part of the difficulty. And that the wonders that you do have this access but the challenges that you, is that you don't have unfettered freedom to say what you want to say sometimes. So maybe what even needs to be said sometimes. Joanna? Yeah, I mean, I think in terms of sort of human politics you can find it anywhere whether it's non-profits or NGOs or academia. So it's everywhere. And I think that, and I put it in the chat box but I think the question of sort of just communications and learning how to work with people from very different backgrounds whether it's their professional background, the types of degrees that they have, the working environments that they come from. That's part of the maybe the challenge but also the really exciting part of working with the UN and such international institutions. So I think if you sort of keep your eyes on the goals and at least in my work on programming, the goal is really to support country offices as much as possible. And by that I mean supporting our clients and beneficiaries at the end of that line. So if you sort of keep that in mind and you're trying to, you might need to do a little bit of sort of side to side but you're trying to sort of keep that goal in mind. Then I think then you learn ways to maybe cut through the bureaucracy. And if I think about some of the best supervisors I've had and who've had good careers at the UN but also came from different backgrounds as well research NGOs. And I think that's kind of what they taught me that if you support your team, you support your teammates, try to take what's best about the UN that it has that sort of power in numbers, the sum of its parts and that it reports to member states but it can also sort of give feedback back to member states. So if I think about something, for example, when we talk about bureaucracy we might think there are a lot of procedures and policies and that can weigh things down and it can take a little bit longer than if you're in a kind of a startup NGO or something like that. But on the other hand, for example, the UN has made a big effort in recent years to make policies on what we call the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse within the agency and with partners. And so there's been this sort of huge concerted effort. And I mean, when I started out in 2007, 2008, I don't remember seeing those kind of codes of conduct and these kinds of procedures. So it might take a little bit of time but to have something like that at the global level and now you have to sign it no matter which agency you're working for and take an online trading no matter which agency you're working for and whether you're the truck driver or you're doing programming like I'm doing, it's the same. So in that sense, there can be also something positive about that bureaucracy that you can standardize certain things and have that kind of accountability. So I guess it depends on how you look on any given day. Yeah. Thank you. Well, you guys, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing all these insights and we'll look to see you soon, hopefully. Maybe in person at some point. Yeah. We'd love to have you back up to Tufts to maybe talk and meet with the students directly once we can do that again. So. That'd be great. Yeah, good luck to everyone and they can reach out also if they have other questions. Great, great. Thank you so much. Take care. Thanks, bye. Be well. Take care. Bye, bye. Thank you. Bye.

The American Presidency: Pivotal Elections - Nancy Beck Young
|
Americans will go to the polls in a few months to vote in what innumerable commentators are calling a pivotal presidential election, even one of the most consequential in American history. But it’s hardly the first time such claims have been made. Across the last 250 years, many presidential races have featured sharply contrasting agendas, political outlooks, and personal styles, with dire predictions about the nation’s future if one candidate or the other prevailed. How did these races unfold? How did presidential races encapsulate profound cleavages running through the nation? How did the outcomes shape the nation’s future? Looking back at elections from the nation’s past may provide perspective on our own moment.
This six-part virtual series explores these and other questions through lively conversations with eminent historians of American politics and the presidency. Each session will begin with a moderated discussion led by LBJ Library Director Mark Lawrence but will allow ample time for questions from the audience. Over six weeks leading up to President’s Day, we will sweep across American political history by delving into the elections of 1860, 1896, 1948, 1964, 1968, and 1980. We will examine presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan, exploring the races that elevated them to the Oval Office and the implications of the races they won.
About the speaker:
On February 1, Nancy Beck Young will join us to talk about the election of 1964.

Good afternoon, and welcome to this week's program of the American President, our six-week series of conversations with historians, scholars, and journalists about the most important elected office in the world. Our program is brought to you by the Lyndon B. Joplin Presidential Library, the University of Texas Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and Humanities Texas. I'm Phil Barnes, and it is my privilege to chair the UT Ollie Sage Enrichment Committee. As we said often in this series, this year, 2024, we will hold our 60th presidential election since the first in 1788. And in this series, we look back at six pivotal elections, elections that were of great consequence in American history, those of 1960, 1896, 1948, 64, 68, and 1980, from Lincoln to Reagan. Mark Lawrence, my good friend and the director of the LBJ Presidential Library, and himself, a widely respected historian, is the host of our conversations. As a member of the audience, you may participate in the Q&A segment of our program by using the chat function to write and submit questions, and I encourage you to do so. Our Q&A host today is Mark's colleague and our friend, Sarah McCracken of the LBJ Library. Today is special because we welcome our guest historian, Nancy Beck Young, professor of history at the University of Houston, and she is one of our own. Dr. Young received her BA from Baylor University and her MA and PhD from the University of Texas at Austin. She has been recognized and has had residential fellowships at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., and served as a Columbus Fellow in Southwest Studies at Southern Methodist University. And she is a political author of numerous publications, and her most recent book of interest to us today is Two Sons of the Southwest. The presidential election of 1964 may be seen as a generational shift, a defining moment in recent American history. The 1964 election was a contest between two men of the Southwest, each with a very different idea of what America should be. The Republican senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater, has been said to represent a nostalgic idealized past, a preservation of traditional order. While the incumbent Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, wanted an expansive, liberal future of increased opportunity for everyone. So it was a showdown, as it's been characterized I think quite correctly, between liberalism and conservatism, an election about individual rights versus legislative equality as priorities of the federal government. One whose outcome would echo throughout the rest of this century, and indeed into the next. So to discuss the pivotal election of 1964, welcome for today's interview, Nancy Beck Young, author of Two Sons of the Southwest, Lyndon Johnson, Barry Goldwater, and the battle between liberalism and conservatism. And now, to Mark Lawrence. Well, thank you so much, Phil. I really appreciate that kind introduction and welcome everyone. It's wonderful to have you back for this fourth installment of our 2024 version of the American presidency. And welcome most especially to Nancy Beck Young. It's wonderful to have you. Thank you, Mark. And thank you to everyone at the LBJ Library for making this very important series available to the over 300 listeners out there if I can read the participant tick. It's an impressive turnout and we're so grateful to everyone who's here with us today. Nancy, it's great to have you on any number of subjects where you are truly an expert, but especially to talk about the election of 1964, which it seems to me is a really fascinating, even unique moment in American political history. At one level, it was a landslide. And so you might not think, well, how could this be pivotal if it turned into such a gigantic landslide? But I think we can see now with the benefit of hindsight that the 1964 election, as Phil just mentioned, was one of those moments that kind of crystallized different political currents. And we can see that the issues that were in play in 1964 would continue to ripple through American politics in the decades thereafter and indeed down to the present. Nancy, let me just start with the title of your book, Two Sons of the Southwest. You put the Southwestern origins of Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson right there up front. Why did you make that choice? And what are you trying to convey with that title? That's an excellent question, Mark. So what I want readers to get is that there were different versions of the Sun Belt, if you will, encapsulated in Lyndon Johnson and in Barry Goldwater. And maybe I'll explain what I mean starting out in a non-serious manner, and then I'll get more serious. One journalist during the campaign decided that wouldn't be interesting to publish side by side Lyndon Johnson's recipe for chili and Barry Goldwater's recipe for chili. I've had Lyndon Johnson's chili served at the Texas White House. That's another story. I have not, I've read Barry Goldwater's chili recipe. I've not had it. And with no disrespect to Barry Goldwater or his family or his partisans, I think I will take a pass on Goldwater's chili. It called for canned mushrooms. Yeah, yeah. So two men from the Southwest, but two men with very different ideas of what the Southwest meant. If they're dueling chili recipes, tell us anything. So let me get a little bit more serious with that. We're at a moment by 1964 in American history where the Southwest is becoming more politically important in the United States. In part, that is the result of two, three plus decades of federal spending in the region going at least as far back as the New Deal with federal government projects that made the uninhabitable habitable through the building of dams and reservoirs and the like, but also during the World War II years with the location of untold millions, billions of dollars in defense plants throughout the Southwest. So these things made the Southwestern region habitable and desirable. And that is happening at the same time that the Rust Belt is becoming less of an economic driver in the United States. And people who had been employed in factories in the Midwest are moving Southwest better economic opportunities. So these macro developments are coming to a head during the 1960s and you see them working out in these different visions of the Sun Belt and different visions of the United States writ large during this time period. So that's why I decided to play with the concept of the SUN and the SON and Johnson versus Goldwater in the campaign for the White House. It's also worth noting that this is the first time two candidates from the Sun Belt, the South, the West went head to head against each other for the presidency. And until 2012, there was at least one Southerner or Southwestern or Westerner on the general election ballot, 2012 being the first time that did not happen when Barack Obama stood for reelection against Mitt Romney. So no. And we've not had a Southerner or Southwestern person on the ballot since 2012 either with 2016 being Secretary Clinton versus Donald Trump in 2020. And yes. Right. Right. Sticking with your title for just a moment. You identified 1964 as the battle between liberalism and conservatism. Conservatism, of course, I want to get there in a minute and unpack the variations that ran within the Republican Party and the struggle really to determine what the Republican Party stood for. But let's start with that all important word whenever we're talking about the 1960s liberalism. What do you mean by that and help us understand that term so that we can have a conversation using that term in confidence that we're all on the same page? Sure, sure. And that's a really important point to make because there's not a static definition of liberalism, nor is there a static definition of conservatism. So let me talk first about the liberalism that Johnson grew up with and what it had morphed into by the 1960s. So Johnson grew up in a hill country that looks nothing like the territory just to the west of where you sit. People who lived in the hill country when Johnson was a child and a young man were not wealthy. People who lived in the hill country when Johnson was a child and a young man really had to work hard to keep body and soul together. And so they gravitated in the late 19th and the early 20th century to the ideas of the populists and then in the very early 20th century to the ideas of the progressives and they were committed new dealers by the 1930s and by the 1930s Johnson is a young man on the move in state and national politics and he makes Franklin Roosevelt into one of his many political daddies. Johnson worshipped at the altar of the New Deal which was all about using the resources and the power of the federal government to ameliorate against the poverty of the Great Depression. So think things like social security, think things like banking regulation and reform and think about all of the various work relief programs that were more temporary parts of the New Deal. This was a liberalism that was about economics and historians have argued a lot about which version of liberalism the 1930s liberalism that was about economics or the liberalism that comes into vogue in the 1960s with and because of Johnson that was also rights based about first bringing civil rights to African Americans but then expands from the 60s into the 1970s to bring rights to women and to bring rights to Chicanas and Chicanas and to American Indians as the movement was termed then and then also to the environment etc etc etc. So on Johnson's presidential watch liberalism widens to be about rights based requests as much as about economics. There's another piece that is changing in the landscape of American liberalism that I think I have to put on the table and so it's not like the economic liberalism necessarily goes away but it's sharing space with right space liberalism but there is a shift if you will in the economic liberalism from the 30s versus the economic liberalism of the 60s so economic liberalism in the 30s was maybe more about opportunity whereas economic liberalism in the 60s was maybe more about entitlement and that distinction between equal opportunity versus entitlement is where lots of conflict and disagreement boiled over and I'm sure we're going to get into some of that as the conversation continues but does that work as a real quick comprehensive exams explanation of the evolution of liberalism? A plus I think that's fantastic it gives us a lot to work with as we move forward before we get into those you know the development of liberalism and conservatism let's talk about the star of the show Lyndon Johnson and of course you know I want to talk with you about how he positioned himself during the race but you know him not only as a historian but also through some firsthand experience with Lyndon Johnson describe that and tell us what kind of a person you experienced when you when you encountered LBJ? Sure well so anybody who's listening has probably figured out I am a native of Texas my accent is obvious I grew up in east Texas about an hour south of Dallas and my father was the stereotypical yellow dog democrat he had grown up in a stereotypically yellow dog democratic household my grandfather had been democratic county chair for 20 years and my dad was democratic county chair for 16 years starting in I think 1960 and finishing out in 76 are thereabouts my father wrote to you know any democrat who was anybody from the time he became active in politics in the late 40s so I have his correspondence with Sam Rayburn and I have his correspondence with Jim Wright and I have his correspondence with Lyndon Johnson to whom he started writing in the 50s and wrote more and politicians then wrote back Sam Rayburn once said he would much rather have a letter written on a big chief tablet from a real person than a mass-generated form letter and I think that that sentiment carried over to Lyndon Johnson as well and so my father and uh senator Johnson had a correspondence that went back and forth that increased during the vice presidency and increased more during the presidency at some point during the presidency Johnson wrote to my father watched the newspapers and when you see that I'm going to be at the Texas White House bring your family down for a visit so we went for the first time in December of 1968 and went back for about 12 to 15 more trips until the president's death he put us up in the same trailer house where Lucy and Linda would stay when they came to the ranch to visit their parents on one trip he loaned us one of the Lincoln's to drive to see the Easter fires pageant in Fredericksburg and it was just this grand amazing journey that I took for granted and the adult version of me realizes just how rare and how special it was for someone who was not important I mean my father was very important to me but he was not an important person uh to have a friendship with a former president of the United States so yes I was we were served chili I'm not sure that I actually ate it I was a bit of a picky eater at least there were no mushrooms there were no mushrooms uh I have since made the president's chili recipe and I really the six seven-year-old version of me didn't know what she was missing out on because it was good uh but yes lots of trips to the ranch and on those occasions I saw I saw what made him a political genius if I can just tell one story that I have in the opening book so Lyndon Johnson was a giver of gifts and every time we went to the ranch we left with gifts and I have at home 18 karat gold jewelry with Lyndon Johnson's head on it and I have uh that you know I keep very close care of and I have a a pony and a doll not an actual pony a plastic pony and a doll that shows the abuse that a six seven eight-year-old child can give to a toy and everything in between on one trip the president gave my little brother one of those super bouncy balls and my brother at the time was still in diapers so small person really super small person Johnson was giving us a tour of the ranch in one of the Lincoln's and he drove close to the fence at which tourists could gather and he noticed that there were some tourists at the fence and there was a small child with the tourists and Johnson says to my father John I want to give that ball to the little boy across the fence don't worry I've got plenty of them back at the house I'll I'll get your son another one and Johnson proceeds to get out of the car and throw the ball to the boy across the fence I'm sure it's antics like this that drove the secret service no doubt but it was Lyndon Johnson so what are you going to do Johnson's arm wasn't quite what he had hoped it would be and he did not make his throw and so he directed my father to go get the ball and my father goes and gets the ball and proceeds to walk it to the fence to give it to the boy and Johnson yells it my father no John bring it back here and so my father brings the ball back to the president who really winds it up good and makes the throw up now that stuck with me as a child but the adult historian version of me sees that as Lyndon Johnson's need to be all things to all peoples and the direct font of the beneficence that he had hoped that he had provided to the American people no intermediaries if at all possible that I completely agree that's a really illuminating story from just a moment that I'm sure passed very very quickly okay so putting back your historian hat let's return to the campaign of 1964 so as we all know Lyndon Johnson was propelled into the presidency under tragic circumstances in November 1963 he's keenly aware at that point that he has one year right before the election of 1964 and it's clear that he wants to run in his own right for the presidency talk if you would about what he believed in that all important year between November and November how he believed he needed to position himself to win the presidency which was clearly vital to his own perception of himself as a man who could appeal to the American people well he starts when he lands on that really sad end of that really sad day at Andrews with his brief remarks just asking for prayers and then follows up briefly well follows up in more detail with his address to the joint session of congress his let us continue speech and I've always held that that let us continue speech is his moment of making the presidency his own but also beginning the process of creating Camelot which we think of as more of a Jacqueline Kennedy operation but Johnson in his own way plays a role of making Kennedy perhaps more in death than he was in life because a refrain that runs throughout Johnson's legislating in that year that he has between rising to the presidency in the election of do it in the memory of Jack Kennedy do it for the dead president and it can be everything from the tax cut to what becomes the 1964 civil rights act so Johnson claims this very wide middle of the road posture with let us continue in an effort to wrap his arms around the American people and state his ambition to fulfill the Kennedy agenda so I think that's I think that's the most important step that he takes right and it seems to me it was a complicated balancing act in LBJ's mind between capitalizing on the Kennedy legacy and yet defining himself as his own man right who had his own priorities and that had to be a tricky balance to strike across that year yes and made all that much trickier by Lyndon Johnson's shall we say fragile ego and insecurities which were apparent to anyone who who knew him yeah but I think the most important thing that he is able to accomplish is showing off his legislative prowess mark you and I have talked separately about Johnson as the country's best legislative president and we've compared him to Biden who also has more than a few legislative chops from his many many years in the U.S. Senate Johnson's scorecard is maybe longer but Johnson had a much better Congress with which to deal than Joe Biden has had for his not even four years in the White House yet so Johnson shows his legislative skills by getting civil rights enacted he had been senate majority leader when congress enacted the first civil rights bill since reconstruction in 1957 the most significant thing about the 1957 civil rights act was that it carried the word act after and a presidential signature that made it law because other than that it didn't do anything in the words of Illinois senator Paul Douglas the 1957 civil rights act was like soup made from the shadow of a crow that had been starved to death there was nothing there and Johnson knew that but he also understood the importance of precedent and making something seem possible so 57 made passing civil rights possible and 64 was the opportunity to do it with teeth and so that's what he did his ability to work across the aisle was very important to the success of 64 civil rights Johnson regularly had senate minority leader Everett Dirksen to the White House in the evening to trade glasses of scotch and tales of politics they were from opposite parties but they shared a love of country and a desire to move some civil rights legislation forward there's a wonderful well you have many phone tapes in your custody but there's an especially wonderful phone tape from June of 1964 when Johnson is talking to House House minority leader Charlie Halleck about getting a rule on the civil rights bill that had just passed the senate filibuster that was coming back to the house to reconcile the differences between the two bills and Johnson wants to sign the bill on July 4th and Halleck doesn't want that Halleck realizes that the bill is going to give the democrats a lot of political ammunition for the fall and Halleck wants to minimize that as much as possible and the back and forth between these two is a masterclass in political manipulation the so-called Johnson treatment as Halleck just realizes there's no way he's going to win and Johnson you know Johnson's saying I want to come hug you I want to love on you I want to patch you and Halleck is you can just hear him sinking with inside himself because he's not going to win and he didn't Johnson signed 64 civil rights in the law and it was a tremendous boon to his campaign that fall so on the on the democratic side clearly Lyndon Johnson was dominant let's turn for a moment and talk about the other side the republican side where the situation was of course much more complicated the GOP at that time was a very big tent with lots of different political tendencies within it in fact you you call it a kind of civil war that was raging within the party through the the 1960s talk if you would a little bit about the the nature of the republican party and how it had evolved to the point where Barry Goldwater would become the standard bearer in 1964 sure okay so I'll move through about 30 years worth of history as quickly as I possible yeah so Herbert Hoover elected in 1928 and had the great misfortune of the depression happening on his watch the republicans did not have another presidential victory until Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 in 36 in 40 in 44 and 48 the republicans nominated a series of moderate establishment oriented republicans who never took on the new deal never challenged the new deal and never won and so that produces schisms within the republican party between that moderate east coast establishment wing and the more conservative party as it existed within congress and those tensions become more exaggerated not less after Dwight Eisenhower's presidency because Dwight Eisenhower was another moderate who argued for modern republicanism that did not provide a lot of space or love for those conservatives in congress so the conservatives decide and and the party nominated Richard Nixon who had moderate bona fide days by virtue of being Eisenhower's vice president even though Nixon is a more complicated figure liberals had not forgiven him for his red baiting campaign for the senate in the 1950s but still Nixon was viewed as establishment not conservative in his 60 run for the white house the conservatives are bound and determined by 64 to name their candidate okay so that gets us to 64 now let's get to goldwater presidential nominations in the 60s did not look anything like presidential nominations in the last i don't know 20 30 40 years even there were only three competitive primaries on the republican side not every candidate had their name on the ballot in every state those three competitive primaries were new hampshire won by a right end candidate Henry Cabot Lodge who was serving as ambassador and so not actively politicking but he still won in new hampshire as a right end candidate so think about that for a minute uh and the strangeness of that to our modern years Nelson Rockefeller another moderate establishment republican wins the Oregon primary the last remaining competitive primary is california and it's a two-man race between Rockefeller and goldwater Rockefeller's biggest disadvantage in the california race perhaps was the ill-timed birth of his child with happy Rockefeller Rockefeller was a fairly recent divorced man who remarried the woman who perhaps he had become acquainted while still married shall we say so a difficult marital history in a moment in time where americans were expecting monogamy from presidents or at least not investigating presidential behavior in that way or at least the image of monogamy uh and so the birth of Rockefeller's child at the same time as the primary just draws out into the open Rockefeller's uh personal messy personal life uh from a 1960s perspective it seems pretty normal in 2024 uh but um so that's one thing and then the other thing is that goldwater had the advantage of a very hungry and very organized right wing in california and so much so that unsavory organizations like the john birch society were really out there working hard on goldwater's behalf and so goldwater pulls off the win in california and that is enough to position him to get the nomination when the republicans meet in their convention later that uh summer in california at the infamous affair at the cow palace where those very loud goldwater partisans take over the show they boo nelson rockefeller off the stage even police who were on duty to keep things under control joined in the booing of rockefeller during uh during his his speaking and then when its gold waters uh turned to speak well his his walk on music was um oh i'm blanking here for a second glory glory hallelujah uh which ironically given gold waters tortured history of race began as a black spiritual and then became uh became a union oriented song during the civil war but then goldwater gives his his speech with the infamous line extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue which caused one journalist to quit my god he's going to run is barry goldwater and he did um so a lot of historians have observed over the years and i think i think you do as well in your book that gold waters lack of broad popularity across the american public helped to make the 64 race into the landslide that that it became to what extent you think gold waters candidacy the the extremism as as many americans came to see it of goldwater accounts for why it was that lbj won by such an enormous margin i think that's a huge part of lbj's victory although i would not count lbj out in any contest against any person lbj was so single-minded of purpose and had such strong ambition for a win bigger than roosevelt's biggest that he would have gone equally hard against a rockefeller or a lodge but we can't know certainly gold waters gold waters extremism is not uh not in his favor john connelly uh the governor of texas and a political protege of johnson's told johnson in february of 1964 i don't see that they got anybody though that's appealing to people much goldwater has gone crazy he wants to go into cuba with the marines and he's just nutty as a fruit cake and in fact goldwater had talked about lobbing one meaning a nuclear bomb into the men's room of the kremlin he had also talked about sawing off the east coast of the united states and separating it from the country he had talked about abolishing social security among other things so he did appear to be beyond the pale and johnson took advantage of that in so many ways perhaps one of the most important and most well-known aspects of the johnson campaign is the infamous daisy commercial that shows the little girl sitting and it's not a daisy it's a sunflower but sitting with the flower picking off the petals uh as the mushroom cloud explodes behind her the commercial was only shown once on broadcast television as an advertisement we like to say that line a lot but it wasn't the only ad that suggested goldwater was a nuclear warmonger there was also advertisements that talked about the risk of nuclear material showing up in the milk that children drank and another ad that suggested a cute little girl eating an ice cream cone was soon to die in nuclear holocaust if very goldwater was elected president so the the the politicking on that issue was fast and furious on johnson's behalf he also had a group called the five o'clock club uh that was full of uh really smart government lawyers and lawyers outside of government but in washington dc loyal to johnson and they were called the five o'clock club because they met every day at five o'clock uh and what they were doing was uh following everything that goldwater said and feeding to the press response lines so the press was fairly partisan in favor of johnson uh there was no fox news for example in 1964 and journalists tended to favor johnson fairly heavily over goldwater and so the five o'clock club would provide goldwaters traveling press corps with critical questions to ask and uh did lots of other things like that to get under goldwater's skin and make sure the american people were properly educated about the risks of a goldwater presidency right right um and it seems to have worked right given the enormous um uh landslide i mean and the landslide of course um had to have been tremendously gratifying to lbj himself who wanted to win his political battles by by huge margins he also had very long and impressive coattails in the 64 election talk if you would for a moment about how congress changed as a consequence of the 64 race and of course this would be really important to what lbj was able to accomplish during the famous 89th congress that sat between 1965 and 1967 yeah the great 89th as it was termed yeah so johnson had margins in the house in the senate that democratic and republican presidents since can only dream about these are new deal these are early new deal level margins uh the democrats picked up 38 new seats in the house of representatives giving democrats a 295 to 140 majority in the house and the democrats picked up two new seats in the us senate for a 68 to 32 majority now you might be wondering let's just two seats in the senate why does that matter well think about the complexities of the democratic party in 1964 there were multiple democratic parties we've already talked about the republicans as undergoing a civil war well there's the southern democrats and there's everyone else and so even with 66 to 34 if i did the math right while on a zoom call talking to 330 people that was not safe enough for johnson's legislative ambitions given the conservatism of southern democrats and conservatism that has only intensified in the aftermath of linden johnson's quote unquote betrayal of the south by signing civil rights legislation into law if you will so these majorities give johnson a very liberal congress with which to work that is ready to enact elementary and secondary education act higher education act medicare medicaid which at the time was really not intended to be a big deal it was a housekeeping measure but it became a big deal after the voting rights act environmental legislation consumer protection legislation legislation for the arts and the humanities uh legislation for urban renewal and the list goes on and on and on and on grab your copy of the vantage point from your local library and look at the front piece and the back piece which just lists every bill signed into law during the johnson presidency and the overwhelming number in that 65 to 67 period i would argue though that every gift comes with an unintended consequence and i think one unintended consequence of the grade 89th was that johnson perhaps took his congressional majority a little bit too much for granted it didn't work hard enough in 66 to retain his strength now the republicans don't gain control in 66 but the margins narrow considerably and it's much harder for johnson to legislate in the second half of his presidency than in the first of course that's exacerbated by vietnam which is becoming more deadly and less popular with each new uh uh accounting of the dead and uh the deepening of what appeared to be nothing more than a stalemate so much so that college kids were outside the white house chanting hey hey lbj how many kids did you kill today by the end of johnson's presidency so one of the fascinating things to me about talking about elections is that they very readily suggest counterfactuals what might have happened if something different had played out and i think in connection with the 64 race the counterfactual is not so much what what would have happened at barry goldwater one because that was pretty far-fetched and the margin was huge but what if lbj had defeated a more moderate republican um who would have performed better and have uh perhaps um you know the congress it's the makeup of congress might have been somewhat different as well what would a johnson presidency have looked like if it had to work harder for the things that it most wanted maybe more time would have been taken to craft bills i think about some of the war on poverty legislation that once it was passed it was yesterday's news and there wasn't a lot of attention or care given to making sure that the legislation worked as intended so perhaps there might have been more care to bring all voices into the drafting of the bills and into the implementation of the legislation i don't think johnson would have been any less ambitious uh his ambition was uh as tall as he and uh as as wide as the perdanalis after a heavy rain uh right uh johnson johnson did not shy from what he wanted to accomplish but he also would have understood that with narrower margins and maybe more republicans a different path would have to have been taken republicans though wouldn't have bothered johnson that much that's the thing about coming out of texas a one party texas well it's still a one party texas it's just a different party uh uh but johnson's schooling in one party texas politics in the teens in the 20s taught him how to work with different factions and didn't fully give him an appreciation of the two party system so he was good at working across factional lines and i think that's something that would have helped him in working uh with uh with with republicans had they been more potent in congress in 1965 yeah thank you for that and by the way let me pause just for a moment to remind our audience that uh there's an opportunity here to put questions into the q and a feature at the bottom of your screen and i hope that uh many of you will do that the next couple of minutes before i turn things over to the q and a part of our of our program nancy i want to wrap up though by just asking you a couple of very broad questions about the general significance of the 1964 election and and the first thing i'd like to ask you about is the the trajectory of american conservatism so going back a little bit to the goldwater side of the equation you know there's this joke about the 1964 election that barry goldwater actually won it just took 16 years to recognize it right with ronald reagan's victory in in 1980 is is that right is that how we should think about the 1964 elections it's kind of foretaste this early taste of where american politics actually would go uh in the next decade and a half that's not wrong but that's just one story of the legacy of 1964 the democrats and liberal democrats have yet to recover to their 1964 level um of uh political potency with johnson and liberals never really embraced johnson either uh johnson used to tell the joke how do you tell the difference between a cannibal and a liberal and uh he would say uh cannibals don't eat their own uh implying that the liberals were yes uh and that some of his insecurity uh coming into play uh so but what do i mean by uh the legacy of liberalism after johnson uh so i regularly teach the us history survey class that is required of all degree seeking students in public institutions in this state and when i'm getting to the end of the semester i put a picture up on my power point of the transition period from george w bush to barack obama george w bush still in the white house but barack obama as president elect uh george w bush invited all of the living former presidents to come to the white house to meet with obama to essentially school him on being president not in a negative way but in a you're in the fraternity now kind of way and i'm sure that this was the accident of the camera lens and the accident of tie selection that morning but jimmy carter is kind of off by himself and obama is in the center of the photo with the two presidents bush and clinton the two presidents bush and clinton and obama all have on blue ties and carter has on a red tie in the photo and again that's an accident of what tie do you pull off the rack in the morning or what tie perhaps more appropriately did rosalind and uh laura and barbara and michelle and i'm not sure hillary was picking out bill's ties but uh you know what ties did wives say go best with this suit i i think it's all an accident but it also shows the the linking together of two of the three democratic presidents leaving biden out because biden's not a thing yet at this point in time as president uh since since johnson and the point that i try to make to my classes is i'll ask them who was the last liberal president and depending upon at what point am i teaching i get either obama or clinton as an answer i haven't taught the survey since biden has been president so i would probably get biden if i was teaching it now i realized that but i tell them that's not that's probably not the correct answer and then i say uh summing up all the internal courage i can muster that the answer is richard nixon that would be my answer and uh and they're shock and horror and i explained that it has less to do with richard nixon and more to do with the fact that democrats still controlled congress the house in the senate and they passed more legislation that was of a piece with what they had been passing for johnson in the 60s so in that way johnson's legacy continues into the nixon presidency and policies associated with johnson i would argue have forever remade how we live our lives right so would i be sitting here today as a history department chair routinely fielding queries will i apply for this or that deanship and the answer is a resounding no uh but that's not because i'm not qualified it's because i don't want to do that job uh would people of color hold the positions that they hold so much of that goes back to johnson the 64 civil rights act and title seven within the 64 civil rights act and just how fundamentally 64 civil rights and title seven and the social movements that come out of that remake america maybe goldwater and the republicans won presidential politics but in other ways the legacy of johnson's liberalism remains with us wonderful answer i i i think you've captured it so so neatly it's complicated right the the dominant political mood turns against liberalism against what linden johnson worked for and stood for in so many ways and yet so many of the achievements of linden johnson's presidency endure and really structure life in 21st century america in profound ways nancy thank you so much for being with me i have dozens more questions i wish i had time for me to to lob at you but i'm going to turn that privilege over to folks in our wonderful audience this afternoon and to my colleague sarah mccracken who will sort through those questions and pose a few more to you nancy thank you again congratulations on two sons of the southwest linden johnson berry goldwater in the 1964 battle between liberalism and conservatism i really appreciate your time thank you mark it was great fun hello nancy um i'm honored to offer some questions from our audience um the first question is from cliff how did goldwater the extremist later become the elder statesman of the gop sure so yes goldwater was an extremist but goldwater was also a politician who understood how politics worked and when he goes back into the united states senate he has several moments that allow him to show his statesmanship perhaps the most important one is associated with the downfall of richard nixon's presidency goldwater was one of several republicans who went to nixon and told him the jig is up you need to leave you need to resign and you need to resign now you're not going to prevail in an impeachment inquiry your president will or your presidency will end in an inglorious way if you fight to hang on and you need to go and so goldwater's taking of that stance is really important to showing him as a statesman in his elder years i think in other ways goldwater looks statesman like today by virtue of what was and was not a part of goldwater's conservatism right so i talked about liberalism moving into rights based issues in the 1960s while goldwater opposed the 1964 civil rights act it was not because he opposed a quality for african americans he just opposed that particular methodology for achieving it goldwater was a member of civil rights organizations like the nwacp and others he just didn't like the federal government's role in it he preferred a different strategy goldwater was also a strong supporter of women's bodily autonomy read as abortion rights and the like so goldwater would not be a perfect fit or a fit at all in today's republican party given given the difference in the strong difference in some of his positions and those of today's g.o.p. the willingness to stand up to the sitting president is is is pretty significant and the unwillingness to jump on jump fully on the train of um campaigning against uh campaigning against personal choice personal identity that sort of thing uh would not would not situate himself well in today's republican party he would probably if goldwater were around today he would probably be more in line with say a lisa murkowski or a susan collins than the dominant dominant voices in the g.o.p. interesting thank you uh beddy asks what is the lesson for the upcoming presidential election comparing it to the 64 election and your opinion seeing the great divide we have currently in the u.s. okay you asked so i'll i'll i'll give it to you uh in uh a way uh that linden johnson would have appreciated with the bark off uh meaning the the the my my my truth and my whole truth and i could be wrong don't elect a deranged and delusional demagogue especially when you've had experience with that deranged and delusional demagogue and do elect a congress that will give a majority leader chuck schumer and a speaker hakeem jefferies the numbers they need to enact the policies of the democratic president who would be elected which would be joe biden because he's the only democrat running uh like him uh have luke warm feelings toward him or whatever uh it works better if there is uh uh if congress and the presidency can speak with the same voice and get something done um thank you this question is from jim he asks was goldwater really is crazy in his approach to governing as he was as he was portrayed by the democrats and much of the media so goldwater was a shoot from the hip kind of guy and he did talk about the indiscriminate use of nuclear weapons he did talk about eliminating social security while campaigning for the votes of senior citizens he did talk about things that would would have seemed and did seem nutty to americans at the time one of goldwater slogans was in your heart you know he's right playing on that right as conservative and right as correct uh the two different meanings of the word right democratic wags added a line to the in your heart you know he's right line with in your guts you know he's nuts and so was he as crazy as the democrats said no probably not uh he was a normal politician but he did hold extreme views there was not a consensus about getting rid of social security there was not a consensus that nuclear war with the soviet union was a good idea which would be the result of lobbying one into the men's room of the kremlin uh so he did have some some ideas that were were far to the right and that's how come he was painted as such but he was still a normal politician who understood negotiation and give and take and and all such as that thank you um you talked about governor rocker feller uh who were some of the other moderate republicans who sought the nomination in 64 and why did they fall short sure uh probably the other most prominent uh republican and seeking is the wrong word here probably the other most prominent republican who garnered sufficient votes to be a contender was Henry Cabot Lodge the second but he was not in any way that we would understand it seeking the nomination he had an ambassador an appointment as an ambassador and so he was doing his ambassadorial work he was never out on the hustings he didn't seek to raise money he didn't go give speeches at rubber chicken dinners he didn't do any of that sort of stuff that we associate with politicking but nevertheless people voted for him because they saw him as a standard bearer of the eastern moderate establishment and uh they had liked what he had said uh when he had been nixon's uh vice presidential candidate in in 60 so he he had a following in that regard um and then how uh where was george wallish in the in the 64 race and what role did we play yeah uh so george wallis makes in a a a boarded attempt to challenge johnson that doesn't go anywhere uh at one point george wallis actually sent in the run up to the republican uh convention george wallis sent an emissary to the goldwater team to suggest that goldwater select wallis as his running bait uh for the presidency goldwater was non-plussed uh he's a democrat why would i do that uh so that's that's george wallis in uh 1964 that and his uh third party run that uh gains him uh gains him votes in in in the south but he's he's a non-factor in 1964 uh we'll see more of wallis and wallis will be more of a factor once we get to 1968 another question from our audience how do you explain the vice presidential choices of the two candidates sure so let me uh talk about uh william miller first goldwater wanted someone that he thought would get under lbj's skin so that's why he chose miller so that miller could be an attack dog on on the johnson team uh johnson and humphrey uh were were close in the senate uh johnson had mentored humphrey ever since humphrey's election to the senate in the 1940s uh johnson saw humphrey as a liberal who with whom he could work uh a liberal with pragmatism and so johnson had had been grooming humphrey for uh rising politically for uh for some time and uh even though johnson could make humphrey's life a living nightmare uh think about the drawn out process by which johnson finally decides on humphrey as his vp pick all of this is happening quietly and behind the scenes johnson's not doing this publicly to publicly embarrass humphrey he's just doing it to maximize his his role as the president on on the ticket so he chose humphrey because he had genuine respect for humphrey even though there were more than a few occasions and more than a few examples of johnson talking down to humphrey but these were things that were well known to hubert humphrey before he said yes to linden johnson and things that were part of their partnership if you will sandy asks for having been trounced the republicans seem to leave 1964 with some strength the south begins to vote always with the republicans there's new strength and the southwest and the border states the conservative position on many issues is solidified do you think this race was in some ways a help to conservatives in the future definitely definitely so there's the conversation that linden johnson and jake pickle uh who represented uh represented austin in congress for so many years had after the house of representatives past the 1964 civil rights act johnson made a point of calling those few members of congress who cast very difficult votes now in 2024 or even uh in the austin of the 80s in the 90s when i was a student there it's hard to imagine why voting for civil rights would have been difficult with the austin electorate of the late 20th or the early 21st century but the austin electorate of 1964 wasn't what austin is now and pickle was very afraid that by voting for 64 civil rights he was signing his political uh death certificate so he uh went out and got drunk really really really drunk after casting that vote and linden johnson had been calling the hotel where pickle had an apartment all night to talk to pickle to thank him for his vote and when pickle finally made his way in the desk clerk receptionist said congressman pickle the white house has been calling you need to call linden johnson pickle said he's the last person on earth i want to talk to right now and the person at the desk uh said i'm i'm sorry mr pickle but i can't lie to the white house he's gonna call again and i'm gonna put the call through so you better talk to him yourself so pickle and johnson talked and they agreed that the passage of the 1964 civil rights act would give the south to the republican party for a generation they were right and they were wrong it did give the south to the republican party but we're several generations in by now with few signs of that letting up with the exception of maybe the two democratic senators from georgia and the like the south seems still to be solidly republican uh so yes in that way uh the goldwater candidacy does help shape the future direction of the republican party thank you um this will be our last question uh what did you find most interesting or what new information did you discover as you prepared to write this book oh that is a good question and all right i know which direction i'll go one thing that i had wanted to talk about but we just didn't have time so this is my opportunity the role of lady bird johnson in all of this lady bird johnson does something in 1964 that had never been done before by a first lady and that is she went out on the political hustings by herself to campaign for her husband as president she does this in a variety of settings but most importantly on the whistle stop tour that she takes departing from alexandria virginia and arriving several days later in new Orleans louisiana and this is all part of the johnson's sense that as president johnson is president not just of those americans that voted for him but president of every american and as somebody seeking to hold the presidency it's important to ask for the vote of every american not just those who are going to vote for you anyway so that meant campaigning in the south and campaigning in the deep south that was not something that would have been terribly wise for linden johnson to do in the immediate aftermath of signing the 1964 civil rights act and lady bird made the case that she was the better johnson to make that trip and so she dons her own uh she she goes into the south with her own southernness on full display whereas johnson had his uh johnson treatment i would argue that there was a lady bird treatment as well and it was on full display on this whistle stop tour she held court in her own train car with southern governors and southern mayors and southern lawmakers trying to win them over to supporting the ticket they knew that not every state in the south was going to vote for johnson mississippi was a lost cause you know that's just obvious but there is also coming into view on the whistle stop another change that happens in southern politics and it would be wrong for us to look at the changes in southern politics to just be about the rise of the republican party we need to also consider the rise of the black democrat in the south and the role of black southern democrats maybe not as southern governors but as mayors of southern cities and as uh holders of congressional seats from the south none of this would have been possible without civil rights 64 or voting rights 65 and you see some of that in the lady bird special she speaks to mixed race audiences all along the way there are african americans who are train side greeters when her train pulls into town because of the importance of what she's what what she and her husband have done you also see the vitriol against the johnson's for civil rights coming out in some of the signage critical of lady bird at one stop there was a sign held up and i quote black bird go home and that is layered with all kinds of racial uh racial and racist uh meanings and criticisms of 64 civil rights top that off with the speech that linden johnson gave half prepared half extemporaneous in new orleans when he flew down to greet lady bird at the end of the whistle stop so the first half of his speech was his standard campaign stem speech speaking to a mixed race audience in new orleans louisiana in the fall of 1964 johnson then begins to tell stories that he grew up on of how the race card had been used to keep poor whites and poor blacks disenfranchised throughout the 20th century and gives gives a speech that i wish i could quote from but the language is cringe worthy now in 2024 it was revolutionary in 1964 because of the way he turned racism and the use of the n-word on its head to make a political point about the continued importance of economic liberalism to lift up poor blacks and poor whites in a region of the country that remained left behind well thank you this was a really interesting conversation and i'm going to turn it over to phil barns to wrap us up thank you nancy thank you well thank you nasa young and mark laurence and sarah mcracken for another really special afternoon that was a terrific conversation and we will be back next thursday february 8 at 4 p.m for a conversation with none other than carl rove perhaps best known as one of the nation's premier political consultants and advisors to many republican candidates including most notably president george w bush carl rove is also an accomplished writer he has a weekly op-ed column in the wall street journal as well as the author of the triumph of william mccannelly while the election of 1896 still matters we hope to see you next time thank you and goodbye

Hi and welcome to the session. I am Priyanka and I am going to help you with the following question which says simplify. These are the four parts of the question which we need to simplify and we will be doing it one by one. The first part is to simplify 2 raised to the power 2 by 3 multiplied by 2 raised to the power 1 by 5. Now after seeing the question one of the properties of the base and exponent clicks in our mind that when the base is like a to the power p when gets multiplied to a to the power q we can write it as a to the power p plus q that means we can have a common base and we can add the exponent. Now here we have a common base that is 2 and p a is 2, p is 2 by 3 and q is 1 by 5. So we can just substitute the values in this identity and carry on with our solution. It says that 2 raised to the power 2 by 3 plus 1 by 5. Now this is a fraction which has been made over here and we need to simplify this fraction. We will take 15 as our LCM we have 10 plus 3. So we have 2 raised to the power 13 by 15. Since it can't be further simplified so that means 2 13 by 15 is our required answer of the first part. Proceeding on with the next part we are given 1 divided by 3 to the power 3 bracket. The exponent is 7. Now 1 by a to the power n can be written as a to the power minus n. So we can write 1 by 3 raised to the power 3 as 3 raised to the power minus 3 to the power 7 is already given to us and then one of the properties say a to the power n to the power m can be written as a to the power n gets multiplied by m. That means the exponents will get multiplied with each other. So using this property we can write 3 raised to the power minus 3 multiplied by 7 which will make it 3 raised to the power minus 21. So this is the answer of our second part. Proceeding on with the next part it is given 11 raised to the power 1 by 2 divided by 11 raised to the power 1 by 4. Now one of the properties of base and exponents says that a to the power n divided by a to the power m can be written as a to the power n minus m. That means the base will remain the same and the exponents will get subtracted. So on doing this we have 11 raised to the power 1 by 2 minus 1 by 4. We have subtracted the exponents and let us solve these two fractions. 4 is the LCM and we have 2 minus 1 which is equal to 11 to the power 1 by 4. So this is the answer to the third part. Proceeding on with the last and final part we have 7 to the power 1 by 2 getting multiplied by 8 to the power 1 by 2. Now here the bases are not same but the exponents are same. So we can write it as one of the properties say a to the power p gets multiplied by b to the power q. Then we can multiply the bases and then can have a common exponent as in the property we have a common exponent we can have a common exponent and the bases can get multiplied. So here we will multiply the bases and can have a same exponent. So it will be 56 raised to the power 1 by 2 and this will become the answer of the last and final part which was given to us. So I hope you enjoyed the session and will be well versed with all the kind of identities that you learnt in almost each and every part of the question. Try to do as many questions of these types which involves almost all the kind of properties of bases and exponents. Bye for now.

I'm Darlene Squibb from the Environmental Management Office here at Goddard and I run a recycling green team on center. We're in a building that houses hundreds of earth scientists that study our planet and we know from them that our resources are limited and it's important to conserve any way that we can. Recycling is one of those ways to minimize our impact. So just how do we do it Goddard? Let's go around and see. Well there are indications that we can do better. Here is a recycling bin and look what I find. This can easily go in a recycling bin. There are a number of articles in this dumpster that could be recycled. There's paper, there's cans, there's newspaper, there's cardboard. We all at Goddard could do a better job of recycling. It's all work harder. Here we are at another dumpster here at Goddard. There's definitely a lot of trash in here, that's for sure. But there are other things that aren't trash. Old notebooks, maybe they didn't want them anymore but somebody else here could have used them. Same thing with this office organizer. Put the pieces back together, it's perfectly usable. All of these things are things that could be put on the Free Cycle at Work website. Check it out before you throw things in the dumpster. There are many items in this dumpster that can be recycled. Cardboard for instance, it has a recycle symbol on it even. We'll leave cardboard through the custodial staff to break down and take care of it properly. We're going to rescue it now but in the future it's on you. My name is Kenneth Williams. I'm your recycling manager here at Goddard Space Flight Center. We now have a new method of recycling which is called single screen recycling. Now we can recycle cans, paper, plastic, and cardboard in the same reciprocal. I urge all employees to increase your participation in single screen recycling here at Goddard Space Flight Center.

There's lots of seats. Does anyone want to sit over there around here? Yeah, so the Khan Film Festival was in May. And I just thought it would be nice to share some of the things that are happening, that we saw that are happening in other parts of the world. Some things were new, some things we know. So, just to let you know, as you can see, it's a beautiful setting. Most of the festival happens where those tents are. Those tents have beach access, which is amazing. A lot of events happen along this coastline. So it's a really beautiful place to do business. So, of course, the 70th Film Festival, this is the main festival part. There's the staircase where you see all the famous people's pictures. They hadn't put the red carpet out yet when I took this picture. But the festival split into two things. There's the main festival and then there's the market where all the deals are done. And VR was part of the market, not the festival. So they had a section where there was a bunch of things you could do, a lot of content to watch. It's all cinematic and narrative content. So that's the vertical I'm talking about. That's my colleague, Abhi, pointing out the phoenix. So that was all content you could watch. So I just want to tell you the first thing I learned. Lots of beautiful experimentation is happening. This experience that we did was basically you get into a hospital bed, you put on a headset, and then you watch a story from the perspective of someone who's in a coma. Someone opposite you watches the same story, but from a different perspective. And the endings of these two stories are different. So the point is afterwards that you talk about it. And I guess I can give you a spoiler because I don't know if we're ever going to get to see this in Asia. One person lives and one person dies. But the amazing thing about this experience was that it's a 360 movie. Well, it's actually 180 because, as you noticed, you can't really look behind you. Beautifully shot, really interesting techniques. But the biggest thing they do is they make you feel physical sensations. So in that picture down there, there's a moment in the story where you feel like you're dying. So somebody presses your chest and having that sensation sounds really crazy. But having that sensation, it just notches up the immersive feeling like beyond belief. So that was one. Okay. So this was another project where it's based on an Aztec death ritual. So in this ritual, you go from hell to heaven. You rise. So that's what the person lying down is watching. And I play the shaman who has to like beat this drum. And he feels the vibrations of the beats. But the beating is a game. So there are these lights and it's like super stressful because it gets faster and faster. And, you know, and you have to beat on the lights. It was interesting. But there was basically, it kind of sealed for me this concept that rising when you're in VR is a very gratifying experience. It's like flying up, moving up somehow. I don't know. It's a psychological thing, I guess. The final one, I don't have a picture, but I'm quickly going to explain it. We, four of us went into a room to take off our shoes. We were then led into another room and had to walk through these tents. And it was like dark. We came to like an eskimo-like tent. But there were these two monsters lying on the floor. And we got left there. And suddenly they started to move. They put headsets on us. Samsung Gear headsets. And then we had to sit in a circle and have this transcendental experience where we swapped bodies. It was the amazing thing about it was that you would see a graphical representation of someone in front of you. But that image mimics the real movements of the person sitting opposite you. So I don't know how they did it. It was some AR VR mix. They used the cameras on the phones as well. So yeah, it was pretty crazy. Now the thing is, made me feel like, wow, they're doing so much more experimentation and exciting things compared to what we're doing in this region. You know, we're still pretty new for all of us content creators. But there's a reason for that, which is my number two learning. There's public funding and education. So much of it. So we sat on this, we attended this panel where basically there's people from the UK, from Canada, from France. And all of these countries have masses of public funding. I mean, I say masses compared to what we have here. But when you talk to them, they're like, oh no, it's not that much. But we met someone who was doing a project, 20 minute VR piece, which is a mix of CG and live action, which is costing $1.6 million. And he got $900,000 of that funded through government funding. So you know, there is money there and people get a chance to experiment because they believe in just pushing the arts and culture of it. And then the universities. So two of those projects I just showed you were done by uni students. They spent a couple of years doing them, you know, with the full support of their unis. So, you know, that's also, I think, a leap then compared to Asia. Oh yes. So one of the things they covered quickly was what is your funding strategy? So a lot of this, you know, is pretty known and obvious, I think, to us. But just interesting to see how people are viewing it, because I think there is money in all these areas in the US and Europe for content. So having said that, of course, there was lots of panels about monetizing VR and they were super popular, as you can see. It was a full house. And they don't have any answers either. So we're all in the same boat. Some of the things that were a bit different though is that, you know, on that panel there was a venture capitalist. There was a Penrose studio person. There was someone from Technicolor who are like big into VR. I didn't even know that. And their approach is very much that, you know, the money is going to come in two or three years. So until then our role is to really get good at what we do and afford funders to help companies get good at it. So let's give them the money they need for two or three years. So I was like, wow, I wish people like that felt, you know, like that. But I feel that there's a big difference in how people think about it, hear investors and such. And then interestingly, you know, Cannes film, not the film festival, the market is meant to buy and sell films. So we actually met the first sales agents for VR. So one of them was from a French company called Wide Entertainment which is really massive into film. So they've just started a VR unit. They've acquired a few things. It's very experimental. The other one is MK2, also a massive French company who've started a VR side of things. They're looking to acquire content. They don't know what to do with it yet, but they're buying it. So interesting. And so the one thing people were talking about a lot was OHEs, out of whom entertainment centers. So what they're saying is that basically cinemas are going to die and people are going to want to go to an entertainment center where they can do a variety of things, watch a film, but also have VR experiences and other types of experiences. So MK2, the company I just spoke about, started a center like that in Paris recently. So this is a picture of it. It's got a lot of fun stuff that we always read about, like the flying thing. I don't know the name. Yeah. And then of course IMAX is kind of leading that charge. So we heard from Richard Gelfand, who's like the big wager at IMAX. And he talked about his, you know, they opened these two entertainment centers. So the good news is that they far, so they claim, sort of did a lot better than they thought. So they got a lot more crowds, a lot more people, and also they sort of realized that people are willing to pay for things they can actually get at home because they don't have the equipment at home. So things that you can actually buy on Steam and stuff, they'll come and pay to do at IMAX. They'll bring their friends, it'll be a social occasion, and then they'll spend some time doing whatever VR things they want to do. And they're pricing it around a dollar a minute, which seems to be working in the market. So the other thing is IMAX does have a big creators fund, which they announced a while ago. But he kind of said all that money is going to the big studios because they're making these experiences which will align with the movies that we're showing. So we were like, oh, but what about the indie people? And so this is what he said. He said the answer for mass adoption of VR is more likely to come from the indie people, yay, because they're more open to experiment and failure. So my slides are gone. So anyway, so, you know, I was like, well, that's great. So hopefully, you know, you can sort of walk the talk soon. So we'll see. So he was like open to, okay, let's figure out a way to get more in touch with indies and all of that. So having said that, indies can lead the way. There are two things coming up in October, which are sort of among the first of their kind, I would say, they are VR specific content markets. So they're getting VR creators in front of people with money, whether they want to invest in your company, or they want to invest in your content, kind of following the film market way of doing things. But the good thing about these two is that they're looking at, you know, they're kind of expanding it. So it's not just invest in your content and co-produce, but it's also, you know, try and meet investors who are interested in VR. So also, we just found out today that the Phoenix was accepted for cross-video days. Very exciting. So we'll be going to that in Paris. Thank you. Yeah, so you know there's hope because these are like purists. We met the people who run both of these things, and they're really purists. They're like, VR has a future. We're going to try and make it happen. So the other, you know, the thing about it is that the whole talk about VR from a mainstream perspective was about the thing that Alejandro Inaritu made. So he's the guy who directed the Revenant and Birdman. So he had made this thing, which was debuting at Khan. But nobody in the entire VR section knew anything about it. So it was being housed at an airport hangar 20 kilometers away, and it was by invite only. So every day, the dailies would come out of what's happening, and we would read, you know, some new journalist had been, and they would give their review. Of course, all the reviews were stellar. But I was kind of like, it's a bit weird because all the industry people can't watch it. So I have a theory about that, and I'm happy to tell you offline. But, you know, but I would say in the grand scheme of things, it's good that all these big names are getting into VR because it helps the industry as a whole. And this will be available eventually for public viewing. This is the only screenshot I have seen, I mean the only picture. So every media outlet has this one picture. I haven't seen screenshots, I haven't seen anything. I have no idea what it looks like. But it's some sort of experience about being an immigrant at a border crossing, and that's all I know. So I just want to, I'm kind of at the end. So what I will say is, yeah, the biggest film festival in the world hasn't cracked the code on how to share content with people on a mass scale. So they had a cinema. They had these kind of personal viewing things. We watched something in the cinema that was half an hour. After about 20 minutes, my phone died because of overheating. Someone else's phone died as well. They came and gave us replacements, but we kind of missed whatever had happened. You know, so I think that's one of the biggest issues that we need to crack somehow. But also they were selling tickets, and by like the second or third day all the tickets went out because of course every experience takes like a while and there's so few places to watch. But the fact that they did it is awesome. There was a lot of people there. A lot of interest, curious folk, then a lot of creators. One thing I will say about that is that I could count the number of Asians on one hand. So it was all US, Europe, a smattering of content from China and one person from China. There was us. There was a Korean team who was there only because they're an offshoot of a big movie studio. There was another single guy from India who had his set up. That was it. And you know, we met more than 50 people and had sat, sit down, face-to-face conversations. I asked them all about what do you think about VR in Asia? What do you know? And all of them kind of their reaction was like it is a mysterious and far away place. We have no idea what's going on there. Apart from China, of course. So there's an opportunity for us to make our mark. We just need to be more vigilant about what's going on. I think submit content, you know, try and be seen as much as we can because there's definitely interest from people there. It's just that they don't know anything and they have no access. That's all I had to say. I will leave you with these exciting pictures we took. Touristy pictures. But you know, I'm happy to talk more, offline, share contacts, whatever. Abhi... Oh, it's gone. It's also here. So yeah, you can find us in the network. It's okay, you don't need to... Yeah, so thank you. Thank you for the very insightful talk about what happened in Cannes. Any questions? Well, thank you very much. I'd like to find out from you. Did you meet anyone from Future Rose School? Because they are the first IMAX in France. So I haven't been there for a long time. So I don't know what's the latest going on. Because the VR there was really long time ago and they have VR the whole room. Yeah, no... Yeah, this was since 2000. So the biggest Future Rose School is the biggest VR experience in the world then. So I'm just curious in Cannes. I don't know, I didn't speak to everybody so they could have been there. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? I have one question. Where's your Phoenix? So we got really useful feedback from the people we showed it to. So we're fixing episode one. So once we do that, we are happy to share it. And now we're working on episode two. And we'll be going in October to cross video days and see what happens. It's great. Yeah. Okay, thank you so much.

Speculations of that former president, Goodluck Jonathan, made a defect from the APC to the PDP has been circulating the news since the visit of the APC governors led by Yorbe State governor and chairman of the Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Mey Malabouni, on the occasion of Jonathan's birthday in a bouja in November. Joining us to discuss this is a political analyst at Chike Tudde and legal practitioner Ladik Wadjonson. Thank you very much gentlemen for joining us. Mr. Tudde, it's interesting that former president Goodluck Jonathan has been in the news for either being, you know, an emissary of sorts for Mr. President to different countries, aqueous countries, somewhat like a peace emissary. He has gradually moved from that to becoming someone who's being eyed to become a member of the APC. The same president that most pundits would refer to as one that was getting the shorthand of the stick from the APC. It makes it pretty difficult for some people to believe that this particular rumor is true. But what do you stand? I'm not going to dismiss it outrightly. Politicians are very strange creatures everywhere, especially in Nigeria. So there is nothing beyond them, especially when you are talking about politics without principle, politics without any serious ideological grounding or fixation. So a politician that is ruled by an ideology is a politician that will take a decision on the basis of whatever philosophical constructs he's confronted with. So he's not going to do it just for the sake of power. There is something that motivates him. There is something that pushes him. So because of the absence of that in Nigeria politics, anything goes. And of course we know that it's so easy for one politician to move from one party to another in Nigeria because most of them stand for nothing. But then again, if the APC is actually trying to woo him, it is because I think he set a precedence in this country. If he is an emissary today, on behalf of any West African sub-region, trying to make peace in troubled countries in West Africa, it is because he has ended that right. Especially what he did. That is what has made him a statesman in Africa. And that's why a lot of countries need him when he comes to trying to tie knotty issues that today other countries have. But even if that story is true, just like you said, he received greatly the short end of the stick when he was in power. And the APC did every single thing possible to destroy his reputation, to malign him, accuse him of all kinds of offenses and all that. And then eventually they ended up replacing him. And so what we have seen is that whatever achievements he made as president of Nigeria had been visiated by the failures of the APC. And the country that Jonathan left in terms of the economy, in terms of even the issue of security. Of course we know that the security in Nigeria is far worse today. Then the economy has completely been destroyed. Of course, we all know the inflationary rate in the country and then the exchange rate under genetic, I think it was around, was it two something, three or a something today? It's about close between 450 to 500. So there is really nothing to hold on to. And you can only feel sorry for anybody that is going to succeed their president, Muhammad Buhari, as president of this country because it is going to be a very tough decision to try to unravel and to try to undo the damage that had been done under his administration. So if they are trying to go for Jonathan, it is not out of love. For Jonathan, it is pure selfish politics. And you would imagine that most of the people that are angry for Jonathan to come back, give the stories through, and not turn politicians. And the major reason why they are trying to do that is simply because it is only a Jonathan presidency that would assure them of four, that would assure the control of a four-year presidency before it goes back immediately to the North, because he had already done four years. Any other Southern politician will remain in power for eight years. And so you ask yourself what the North works with power at this particular point in time. They should be ashamed of the embarrassment of the past six years under President Muhammad Buhari. Is there a written law, Mr. Tudei, that the North cannot yearn for power as many times as they want to? That argument has not been made. But the reality, that argument... So why should they be ashamed if these people feel that they're prepared and always have someone to feel for that office? Why should they be ashamed? Because you see, after a very long time, they were accusing certain politicians of having arranged this country that the opportunities they had to be in power, they did not do anything with it. So they say what comes around goes around. So it is from that perspective that we're looking at. And it's not just that. They themselves, for those ones with conscience, are also feeling embarrassed because of the failures of the Buhari presidency. It is from that perspective I'm looking at it. And so when you have this kind of glaring failure, you want to have something else in place with the hope that it is going to be well for the country ultimately at the end of the day. So whether we have a Northern president, a Southern president, the reality is that the political arrangement in this country is such that the way they did it, so that all sides of the country would have a shot at the presidency, is that the president does not handle it. And then after a period of time, it goes back to the South. And then before it goes to the North, so that that arrangement will go around the entire country. But it is not politics, it's not power at the presidential level for the sake of it. I mean, I'm from the Southeast and I can tell you that it doesn't really bother me if you have the South Easterners as president of Nigeria or not. What we want is a president that is going to be there for everybody, for the South and for the North. That is the kind of president we want. I'm going to put a pin there and I'll come back to tackle you on the Southeast presidency. But let me come to Mr. Johnson. It all started when the Bialsa election happened. It came as a surprise to many, but many also started at the time to speculate that maybe former president Goodlock Jonathan may have been in bed with the APC. Even though, like I started, I said he's an emissary of sorts, he's seen as a peace advocate all across the continent, even across the world. And so he reports to the sitting president. But then because we're not a fly on the wall and we do not know the ongoings within the Asarok villa, these rumors have grown bigger. But I ask you, as someone who analyzes politics and a lawyer, why would a president Goodlock Jonathan want to, former president Goodlock Jonathan, want to take another shot at the presidency? Well, most politicians would not shy away from the seat of the presidency, especially if it's given on a platter of gold. He has constitutionally, he could have another four years if things work out. But I doubt, personally doubt whether he would go all the way to accept the offer if there is an offer. You would know that I think a few governors have moved as well. Some senators have moved. You'd note that the APC is trying to rule as many key people as possible before the elections. Now they know fully well that the economy is in a state whereby the average person is not too happy with what is going on at the moment. But if they are able to take out some key politicians, not take them out as and kill them, but as in win them to their side before 2023, then the opposition party will be depleted and then it will be easier for them as it were to get re-elected at the center. I want to ask you quickly. Sorry, I do not want to distort your train of thought. But if Goodlock Jonathan were to be moved, for example, let's say tonight before we all go to bed, it's breaking the news that former president Goodlock Jonathan has now decamped to the APC, would it in any way change the minds of Nigerians towards this APC government as to all of the things that we've been through? Do you think it's enough reason to really break the camel's back and metaphorically? Personally, I don't think so. I think that unfortunately for him, quite a large percentage of the population are still disappointed at what he did. Now, Achike is right in saying that what he did or what he didn't do at that time might just be, I mean, it's much better than what we have now. But I still don't think that the people, especially in the southern part of the country, a lot of people are not happy with the way the economy is with the APC. If you go online and you see the comments, then you see a lot of people treating this issue that I read one the other day and said he was a supporter of Jonathan. But if he goes to the APC, he's lost him. So I don't think it will be a magic one. They'll still have a lot of work to do. And I'm not so certain that it would work because the APC is still going to have an earthquake. The PDP is rocking at the moment. So a lot of things are still going to happen before 2022. Back to Achike, I did promise that I was going to tackle you on the South Eastern president because this is something that League will have been pushing for, asking for, you know, an opportunity at that ticket. But this is the question I always ask. And I'm not biased in any way because, you know, I'm from the South, but I have no business with the politics. I'm just thinking, you said something about the North and I'm bringing it back again that, oh, this should be a shame because they've had so many shots at this presidency. And so they should allow power to rotate. But if we were, for example, to throw the door open and say, well, let's give the South East or the South South or the Southwest an opportunity to run who's readily available that we can point to. Let's start with the Southeast. It's okay to agitate. I'm open to the idea of agitations. But when it comes to the North, there's always somebody who's ready, more like being groomed and ready to run for those offices. But in our case, who can we readily point to, especially in the South? Yeah, let me put it this way. It's not, when I talk about everybody in the North being ashamed because of the lack of governance in the country, it is a statement that should go to virtually all the politicians in this country, North and South, look at what they have done with the country. So we've not had any meaningful development. I mean, the kind of development that a country in the size of Nigeria should have with all our natural resources and all that. So it is something that should go generally to the political class in this country. They have been a big disappointment, regardless of whether they're from the North or the South. Now you talk about the North always having somebody or being ready, having who? Having who? The North today is in crisis, perhaps more than especially at the level of insecurity. There was a Northern president that they matched from there. So what is life like in the North of this country at this particular point in time? This is a question you should ask. So it is not about power for the sake of power because what we have had in Nigeria in most cases is power for the sake of power. Not political power that redeems the country economically, socially, politically in so many other ways because that is the essence of taking power. So I cannot say that the North has actually, they've always been ready with somebody who is going to have power. For what purpose is that power going to be acquired? Now you look at the North, there's no part of this country. Let me just put you to say there's no part of this country that does not have people who are in a position of people who have what it takes to govern. But you see, you'll be looking at the system in the country and people have often talked about that. And the argument has been made that even if you bring NGOs into Nigeria, that it's going to be very difficult for them to provide meaningful leadership. But we're talking about a leader that is nationalistic, that is patriotic, a leader that is focused, a leader that is bold and courageous, a leader that understands both domestic and international power dynamics and that is ready to do the right thing, to call a spade, a leader that is ready to sacrifice his life in the process. It is not a leader that's going to govern out of fear because if you're going to govern out of fear, you're going to pander to certain interests that are inimical to the overall interests of this country. So do we have such people? I believe that they are Nigerians and wonderful people. We have seen what Nigerians do outside the shores of this country. And I do not doubt you, Mr. Tude, that we do not have those sort of people, but are they in these political parties? Are they the big players? This is the question. I'm not saying that Nigeria does not have people who are capable of leading, but where are those people? This is my question and I'm going to throw that question to Ladik Mottu. Who are these people? Because the people you're referring to may not be the ones who are key players in our big political parties. So why don't we find them? Yeah, I've been impressed with this. I'm the former director of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the case of Mombogalu, for instance, is somebody that I have a lot of respect for. He's not a sisters man. And so when you look at him, I mean, where you hear him talk, where you hear him speak, when you know that he has a proper understanding of the political dynamics of this country, you realize that this is a man that has everything. There are a lot of people who are very good orators, but when it comes to acting, they're not. And I'm not in any way saying that he's not able to. But when you say, yeah, the way they talk. I talked about the sisters. I talked about the sisters. I mean, pediments of such people within the system. Because you have a bunch of people who took power since 1999 and who have accumulated illegally the resources of the Nigerian state. And with the resource of Nigerian state, they have been able to keep other people outside of the door. You understand? So this is part of the problem. That's why it is difficult for good men to ascend political power in the country unless there's something revolutionary that happens even within the Nigerian people. So it's a very hard sale. It's a very tough ask. It's not going to be easy, but there are people there and he is one and there are so many other people too that have the ability. Mr. Johnson, I'll ask the same question, but in a different way. We have amazing Nigerians on the international scene doing great. We have one in the AFDB. We have one in WTO. We have so many Nigerians. Some of them we've never even heard of them because they're not politicians per se. We have people who are capable of doing a lot of things. But when it comes down to the politics of it, can we really point to those people? I mean, even in the Southwest, we just keep talking about one person. Where are the other guys? Including the other guys and women are there. They're there. They're even within the political parties. But because you do not have a sufficient amount of people who put Nigeria first and who will say that this is the person that can lead us in the direction we want to go in the next four years, then you have those who are businessmen, who are political jobbers, as they say, controlling the primary election process of the parties. If you're spending 30, 40, 50 million just to get in the form and you're spending about half a billion to one billion to get the nomination of a party and the system recognizes that, then there is no way. There's nothing you can tell me. There's no way you're going to perform for the benefit of the people because it's either you want to recoup your money or you have to service those who put the money down for the elections. So the people are there, but Nigerians are not participating. Even general elections, the last one, we had just 25 percent for the presidency. Gubernatorial was even less. So if Nigerians do not participate, especially in partisan politics, then we'll keep churning out whatever those who are like, they've taken it as a business, we'll keep churning out what they want. Well, that sounds very unfortunate, but on that very unfortunate note, I want to say thank you. Chiquiture is a political analyst, Dan Ladikba Johnson is a legal practitioner. Thank you, gentlemen, for being part of the conversation. Well, on that note, I want to thank you all for being part of the show tonight. Tomorrow there's more news, there's more politicking to talk about. I am Mary Anacone. Have a good evening.

So again, just huge welcome, excited to see all of you coming in, welcome, get yourself settled. We're going to be talking about some things that carry emotional weight and bring up fear, bring up tragedy, loss, sadness, grief, hope, resilience. And so in that spirit, I just want to invite you to just put your feet on the ground and just steady yourself. One of the most important things that I hear humans do is breathe. And so I just want to invite you to come in with breath and ground in this. I'm really excited to have all of you here from Canada, from Switzerland, from Malawi, from Uganda, from Kenya, from UK, from Philippines, from Wales, India, Bangladesh. Sorry if I missed your country, the place that you're from, but just welcome all of you, Brazil. Welcome everyone. And today we're going to get to have this conversation about repairing and resisting, organizing after climate impacts. And I just want to say, if I look or any of our speakers look a little bit tired, some of us are a little exhausted. For me, this is my, I think the 17th session, I'm bad at counting, but I think this is the 17th session that we've hosted of different training skills during this week. So some of us are a little tired, I'm a little tired. But we're going to get to talk about repairing and resisting. And so we're going to hear a little about from several different speakers through the day. So I just want to start, we're going to hear from three different people who are on deck to share with us some stories, some kind of, let's just call them like case studies or examples of work they've been doing about handling, organizing in the context of dealing with climate impacts. And so if I struggle with names, just forgive me ahead of time. But Bugara, how close am I to that, to your name is coming from Akyaka, which is worked. I'm really excited about this. They've been dealing with wildfires in Turkey. And so they've created a volunteer crew to be in response to deal with both the immediate impact, but also some of the longer term impacts from the wildfires that have been happening there. And they've just been doing some very interesting organizing. Hilda comes to us from Uganda. She's been working with Fridays for Future, the founder actually of Uganda's Fridays for Future. And my colleagues, Johnson and Niko are just wild fans. Many of us are wild fans, Hilda, of the work that you've been doing. And then Nemo Basi, who's a very well-known, very respected activist, originally architect, is that right? You were originally an architect, but has founded Environmental Rights Action, has been involved in many, many different projects. And has just a very impressive human being and someone who we've respected for quite a long time. So just really excited for all of those. One request I have for you on this session is if you have questions or things that are on your mind about when you're coming into a session like this, you might have some things you're looking for or kind of hearing like, what could they speak to your condition? I'd just like to invite you to really think about those and just to put them on the chat or to put them on the question and answer. But to share, what are some of the things that you're curious or you're looking for? And so, for example, for me, I live in Philadelphia. I live on land that used to be from the Lennon and Ape long time ago, which is right next to the Delaware River. And in this last year, my neighborhood has flooded twice. We've had flood sufficient so that I could take a canoe and paddle to my neighbor's homes. And that has been, it had a low loss of property and no one got hurt, thankfully. But it got my neighbors more prepared for, we need to take this both more seriously, but also we need to begin building up our berm and being practical and also thinking about how do we check in with each other. And one of the questions on my mind is I'm curious, how do we do more than just surviving? How do we not just be in a reaction mode, but also what kind of things do we need to prepare for? And so, getting more ideas about how people are responding to some of these climate disasters and also handling our internal fear and so forth. And I've been thinking about this just as climate impacts, there's a number of different impact, different ways. And this is a framework I learned from Gopal that there are shocks, these moments of a sharp sudden disruption. For example, the Deepwater Horizon oil spills or the Typhoon Yolanda or Haiyan or many, many others like that. These shocks that are increasing in frequency as climate changes accelerating the way that our globe has been working. And then there's these slides, which are sometimes a little bit slower to observe. They're incremental by their nature. They can be catastrophic, but they're not always experienced all at the same time or not as cute. So sea level rise is a slide, rising employment is a slide, the rising costs of food and energy can be experienced as a slide. Sometimes there's moments where it jumps, but I mentioned all of this around shocks versus slides and that there's different ways we're responding to different kinds of the impacts. And so today we'll hear a lot about some of the different shocks in particular, but we'll also address some of the different slides as well. And I just wanted to mention that this is for me the anniversary of one of the floods I mentioned. And a group that I just wanted to honor a group earthquake or action team that I'm part of here in Philadelphia, and they organized a banner drop. What you're looking at right now, that's a highway that got completely flooded last year. And so it was completely underwater and so this group earthquake or action team wanted to highlight this. And they had a target PICO, which is the energy utility company who has done nothing to sort of deal with climate change. And so they were just taking this moment to address to kind of raise the issue. So I just wanted to honor, it's a one year anniversary and actually some of my colleagues right now are going out and going to do another banner drop again to address this issue. Of putting pressure for climate change. So we're going to get to hear from a bunch of stories. I'm excited here from all the folks here. I do want to say two things. I made two mistakes already and I just want to acknowledge I wrote Nemo's name wrong, sorry about that Nemo. And also neglected to talk about Nemo's currently working with Health of Mother Earth Foundation home, which has its head office in Nigeria. And so we'll get to, they'll get to share more about some of the work that they've been up to. And many of you have been aware of a big climate impact that's happening right now. So in a moment we'll get to hear from some of the people I just mentioned, talking about the work that they've been doing that's been, had the space of time to do reflection on what worked and what's valuable and what the lessons are that they've gotten out of it. But we also want to acknowledge that Pakistan has had a gigantic flood right now. And so we're in the range of 10,000 plus people have passed away and have died from this flood. One in seven people have been made internal refugees because of the severity of it. And so Shabayan, whose 350s South Asia organizer has been working with it. So I just want to invite you Shabayan to just bring us a little bit of a word about where people, where things are and to just share a little bit about that right now. So Shabayan, if you don't mind coming off of mute so you can share just to bring a word. Thank you. Hi everyone and thanks Daniel for inviting me to this call. And as Daniel mentioned that there's a gigantic flood like this is, is a climate change induced flood, if I can say that's devastated Pakistan. It's currently still going on. And the current status is basically that 33 million people are displaced. That's, if you look at the numbers, that's one in every seven Pakistani. And these are not people whose homes and lives were destroyed. This is 33 million people whose future is also destroyed because we know that the after effects of flood, post flood reconstruction, it's a long real work in the country and it takes ages to build what we have just lost. And we all know that who is responsible because Pakistan's is the lowest. But I will actually, as I see that there are a lot of folks here from many different parts of the world, I will actually ask you to, and I also see that there is somebody from Pakistan. Thanks for joining brother. And we have been working with communities and our partners in Pakistan. And one of our partners, a number of tours, she wrote a very important blog about what's happening and what's the status right now. I invite you to read that blog and share after the call, of course. And here's the link I've posted it. And I see a lot of folks from around the world, from local countries, I urge you to pressure your government to do more because for climate separations and also to funding the loss and damage fund, which they keep on delaying. And also that if you can, or if you can share, you can also share this fundraiser spread to a lot of different local groups that's fundraising to keep, you know, in terms of keeping materials reaching the worst impacted communities, sanitary care, groceries. So these are all local NGOs, the money will go to the back of the communities. Yeah, that's all from me back then. Great. Thank you, Shabayan, for your work, for your energy, and for sharing your what's going on in real time right now. This is a situation that's very much unfolding. So I ask everyone to, as you can, share those links and do as Shabayan's suggesting of putting pressure on our governments to do what they can to really address this, because this is a moral outrage and this is, in some ways, the beginning of the catastrophic phase that climate change is bringing to more and more of our communities. So I want to turn it to Bugra to speak first to share with us about the work that you've been doing with Akyaka. And you don't know, but I've been watching Akyaka for some time. And I'm so excited to hear from you talking about the work that you've been doing. So thank you. So I won't set it up much more, except to say, I think you've got some slides. Go for it. Go for it. Sorry. Hold on. We're just having a technical thing. Bugra, I think that you need to select your language as English if you're going to present in English on the globe. Got it? I don't think we still hear them, right? Great. So, Bugra, we're going to pause you and just give you a minute to get your audio together. So we'll work on that in a second. And so, Neem, I'm going to just lean on you if that's all right to go next. And so that up here is what are some of the different ways that folks have been handling climate impacts? So we'll give you 15, 25 minutes to kind of share some of your contact stories in terms of how are people adjusting? And the theme here, again, the theme has been how do we deal in the moment of climate impacts as like Shabayan is dealing with and other folks in Pakistan, but also how do we do more than just be in reaction mode to the impacts that are coming, but also take that next step, bring people into that next thing? So how do we deal with climate disaster, but also still organize, still bring people not just from, not just from, oh, we should build a berm to protect my neighborhood, but we should get with other people to begin protecting whole communities. And even more than that, we should be dealing with the climate context altogether. And so that trajectory of bringing people into not just reaction, survival, but beyond that. So, Mimo, thank you for joining us and we're excited to hear your word. Thank you so much, Daniel. And Bugra, I'm sorry that I had to take your space at this time. But it's fine. I'll be brief. And I'm really glad that so many people signed on to this very important gathering. I will be sharing some slides. And I hope to, I may not follow the meteorology that Daniel just laid out, but I would like us to just give you a flavor of what the confrontation is for us, what the situation is for us in the face of climate change, and how it's connected to human rights abuses and environmental injustices, as well as all the harms you can think about. And the first slide I'm showing is from the nagi delta, which is the oil belt of Nigeria, where the multinational oil companies have been operating for the past 64 years plus. And this little boy is fetching water from a very polluted well because the rivers in the communities are already very polluted. And now I thought I should also share this map that shows the distribution of impacts of climate impact around the world. And you can see that it's restricted to a particular segment of the world. And this happens to also be the segment that contributes the least to the problem. So this actually amplifies the fact of climate injustice in the world today. 350 have done a lot of work on this. And so I've just been wrong. I believe many of us very well-appointed with what's going on, but the impacts that we have in Africa to a large extent is heightened by extractivism. Of course, you know, the continent has faced extractivist onslaught right from many, many centuries ago from slavery, from colonialism, neo-colonialism to the present petroleum civilization, extractivism that is ongoing. So we're having sea level rise. One of the slides that Daniel was talking about, sea level, according to the last intergovernmental panel on climate change report, the sea level rise around Africa is almost in a bit of its ongoing and it's not going to stop in the near future if it stop at all. This has impact not just sea level rise as a motion, but it's actually it your coastal communities, coastal land, displacing people and causing conflict in a place like Senegal. The sea level rise has also been accompanied by destruction of the soil in case of salamization. And so you have farmers who cannot fish, who cannot farm, who prefer one now to turn into fishing, but the sea is also less productive for a number of reasons, including of course, salamization of sea level rise and loss of species. But fishing is another factor and all kinds of illegal activities going on in the waters around Africa. In Nigeria, one other challenge in this situation, which is happening in Sahel, is water stress across the region, having unusual floods, maybe not at the magnitude of what we are seeing Pakistan currently, but really disastrous floods as what we've also heard about in Mozambique and that region. So displacement is a big problem that is to do. And unfortunately, in climate change discussion, we're not hearing about climate, we hardly hear about climate refugees, we've been still talking about migration or forced migration. But really, if you call them climate refugees, they stand a better chance of being the receivers of meditation. Now, the other problem that I should speak about before I run into other the talk about how people are resisting is the fact that now that the world is increasingly aware that we have to keep the fossil fuels in the ground. We are seeing more investment in Africa and this is potentially pushing towards more crisis, more climate crisis, more climate impacts and destroying the resilient that been built over by the years. The war in Europe is not helping things because as Russia turns off the gas stop, European countries, the EU is focusing on Africa and other regions for more gas, for more of the same thing that they should be thrown away from. And so the last check, the oil companies are planning to sink up to 230 billion in the next one decade. And 1.4 trillion dollars in the fossil fuel projects by 2050. Now that is a recipe for for horrors. I'm sure you're going to hear more about the East African oil pipelines, so I will not dwell on this, but it's also one of the examples of what is going on today. When the war should be shutting down fossil fuels, we'll have more infrastructure. The war in Europe is also bringing to life the idea of building a pipeline from Nigeria to Morocco with the whole recent purpose of sending the gas to Europe. This is really horrible. And it's going to have negative effects on fisheries and the livelihoods of coastal communities. And the coastal communities are going to assure you would not benefit from this project. So it's everything about colonial extraction, colonial exports, and the same old paradigm on going around here. Now, so we're having climate change, a sea level rise, solidification of water, de-certification, floods, droughts, in-person agriculture. But sometimes we forget to look at the two ends of the pipeline. One end is where extraction is taking place, the other end is where the fossil fuels are being utilized. Now, a whole lot of fossil fuels is extracted in the Gulf of Guinea, in where the Nigeria that is located has seen massive pollution in the entire Gulf of Guinea. And this has a lot of impact, many, many, a serious impact on how people can survive the impacts of global warming. So we're having the attack from two ends, two ends of the pipeline from the use and from the extraction. Now, if you also think about Mozambique, there's a lot of conflict in North Eastern of Mozambique in Cabo Delgado area. And the last one we heard about, we heard about cyclones increasingly in that region. Apologize for having over 1,000 lives written in this slide. It's actually over 3,000 lives were lost in cyclone EDI that hit Mozambican Tanzania in 2019. And every year since then, there's been other cyclones. And yet in the same region, North Eastern part of Mozambique, where gas has been found, companies and the government are investing in infrastructure to get that gas to Europe. And because of the violence that is generated, we have massive regional forces being sent in there to pacify the people. So these are some of the things that we don't really discuss often we talk about climate change impacts. Climate change impacts beyond the geographic things is beyond. What the science is saying is about lives of people at risk on a daily basis. And I'll come down to what is going on in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the top 10 most contaminated places on earth. Why? Because this is where oil and gas has been extracted with totally responsibility over so many years now. Since 1956, without anything better. The picture here is the first oil where that was drilled in 1956. Commercial export began in 1958, 64 years ago. And what we have around the entire region is nothing other than ecocide. It's massive degradation that cannot imagine having this abetted within our lifetime. It's just a pipe dream to think that we can tackle this. But the fight is ongoing to stop the horror and then begin the cleanup. The client I'm showing here already illustrated kind of gas pluring that we have in the region. Sometimes in the middle of communities. Sometimes in the forests, in farmlands. And this pumping millions of tons of toxic gases to the atmosphere causing asthma, bronchitis, blood disorders, bed defects, all kinds of cancers and diseases in communities facing, having and living in this where this assortment is taking place. So we're having what you can best discover as environmental racism. What you can heighten any policies, gender discrimination and pure neocolonialism. I'll show the slide of a place in Toguniland, which is one of the ablimatic parts of the United Delta, where cleanup of the mess has been commenced. By the time the United National Environment Program conducted research on the environmental degradation in this area, some places were found to have hydrocarbon pollution to a depth of five meters. When the cleanup began in NS a couple of years back, in some of the same locations was found that the hydrocarbon pollution has gone as far down as five meters. Some places as deep as 15, 15 meters, 10 to 15 meters. So as long as this pollution are left unattended to, so long they get more complicated, the situation gets more complex and more difficult to deal with. And let me say that at the moment, all major transnational oil companies who have created this, who has carried out extraction in very criminal ways in United Delta are currently embarking on what they termed divestment. Now, divestment in the United States or in Northern, in Europe are completely different from the one we're facing in Nigeria, while activists in US campaign for an end to the, for divestment or investment in this dirty energy sector in Nigeria after years of extreme pollution of the entire region, where life expectancy has dropped to 41 years on the average. Oil companies like ExxonMobil, like Shell are planning and trying to sell off their assets and just take their briefcases and their dollars and move away, leaving that mess. And the resistance that is building in the area, in the region, in the country, is that this corporation will, yes, we want them to live, but they have to pay off, they have to take care of the cleanup that is needed to restore the environment to a livable territory. So our campaign is that divestment must go with responsibility. They can't offload the responsibility of pollution on the poor communities and on local companies who are rising up to buy off the shields from transnational oil companies. We think that this divestment is criminal and we require global action to join to support our local communities in the fight to hold these companies accountable for massive ecocide they've created. Now, I decided to share this slide so that there was a well blowout at a place called Rural One off the coast of Nigeria, the Nigerian, this blowout happened in 2020 April for more than two years now. It's still not been, the blowout has not been contained, it's still burning and still spilling. So you imagine from this location, just off the shores of Nigeria, millions of tons of greenhouse gases that are exacerbating the climate change have been pumped into the atmosphere without anybody taking responsibility. So what are the people doing? A whole lot of resistance going back to the 1990s when Kansai, we were the late minority rights and environmental rights activists who was in seclusion in 1995, led the Ogoni people and from 1993, we were able to succeed in keeping the Ogoni oil in the ground in Ogoni land and the struggle has been to duplicate and replicate that in other regions. And so the people have been in the background of direct actions including naked action, the naked option, which is a situation where elderly women go take off their tops and protest against the harms of these corporations who are driving global warming and who are denied that they are the ones responsible and who still go to the conference of parties and influence decisions that countries are rather than facing as possible, I talk about facing down coal. The other means of resistance by the communities to just have a kind of relief from the assaults from these corporations and from the government is litigation. There's been litigation, massive many litigation going on in Nigerian courts as well as in courts outside of Nigeria. There's been landmark decisions in the Supreme Court in the UK holding Shell International accountable for what their subsidiaries do in other places including Ogoni land. There was a case at the Hague against Shell also where four farmers have sued for environmental pollution and got positive ruling from the court and are now in the process of resolving that problem. Now the other thing that we are involved in and which we do very frequently is a series of learnings and risings with sharing knowledge, building knowledge and exchanging, having cultural exchanges, having a change in different ways. We have what we call all field dialogues where communities leave a discussion about what way they are hopes and what these things happen and how they are responding to global warming, how they are responding to continuous pollution and how others can team up with them to resist. There's also a series that we call learning from the wise. The wise are those who are learning from those who are knowledge holders and not just those who are old, young people. So mostly young people sitting down to listen to the elders to learn the best ways to take out the environment, the ecological defense and to be able to speak up as necessary and to rise up against environmental climate criminals. And then we're building teams of eco defenders, community youths who have learned, have skills and environmental monitoring. They can go around monitoring what is going on in the environment to before the corporations report what they've done when there's any incidents already out there in the media from community monitors who are constantly on the lookout. And then around what we do, we have what we call the different schools of ecology and learning across the continent. In Nigeria, we call it schools of ecology where we pick up particular topics like diversity, like climate change, like blue economy and have defenders to begin to learn about this. Uganda, a group like Napa, has sustainability villages in Mozambique, Justika, and Bienta runs every year what they call sitting climate justice. In South Africa, there's a climate justice school run by Groundwork. And so there are many groups across the continent who are building up knowledge. We're building up resistance because the best resistance is resistance that is done with knowledge. So the Web's IS funding, we're also working with Fisher folks in the Fishnet Alliance, campaigning on fish, not all, but fish employs more people. Fish fits the people. Fish treat us communities. Fish is part of the culture, part of the spirituality, but extractive activities in the water bodies are very destructive for all this. South Africa is called ocean, not oil. And activists and fishers in South Africa have been very, very successful in stopping shell and other corporations from carrying out seismic activities off the coast of that country. There's also a network of resistance. They send no rate in African network, no rate at REDD, campaigning against the appropriation of forest and dislocation of communities from their resources. Of course, there's also one part, one means of building resistance that I love so much, that is using the arts, using poetry for advocacy, using mobile phones to make video documentaries for advocacy. And that's so many things. Then finally, two months ago, we hosted what we call the Niger Data Convergence, an idea that we hope to spread across the continent for everywhere their extractive activities. I came up with the Niger Data Manifesto for socio-ecological transformation. And the key demands in that manifesto is that there must be environmental audit carried out in every location where extraction has been carried out. It's ongoing or has been ongoing. And the whole idea is to map out the impacts, the climate impact, the related impacts, and also the health of this so that we know what is killing our people, the economic demands for clean jobs for the young people, security of facilities. There's a myth asking for a comprehensive review of a petroleum law that we'll just sign in Nigeria and to halt deforestation, especially those of demand groups and rent forests. And then, of course, calling for mitigation against an adaptation, climate change, and other political actions, but everything being guided by popular participation. Now, finally, finally, finally, there's a saying that I love so much in the book, Climate Wars, where people would be killed in the 21st century written by Harald Wells. He said, it is not the objective circumstances themselves that determine how people behave, but the manner of their interpretation. And this is so profound. If we look at climate change as something that has colonial roots, that has racist roots, that builds inequality, that is extremely harmful in different ways, culturally, spiritually. When we have this understanding of the holy crisis from all aspects, then we're able to see how urgent the situation is that we must act. So with this, invite all of us to think and act, and we should do this right now. Thank you so much, Dany. Fantastic, Nima. Thank you. There's so much there, and I just want to underline some people came in with a question, how do we deal with people who their objective reality isn't seeing the issue of climate change. They're still in a kind of denialism about it. And as you say, just because we're experiencing climate change does not mean that we'll necessarily put the pieces together. It doesn't mean that we're going to understand the roots, the history. And so what are some of the things that you are doing to help people uncover those roots so that they can sort of connect the dots about climate change and deal with their own denialism? Yes. Thank you for highlighting that. One of the, somebody says that the best way to begin talking about warming is by sharing, building and sharing of knowledge about the crisis. And that is why I mentioned that sometimes people look only at one end of the pipeline, counting carbon molecules in the atmosphere and not looking at the beginning of the pipeline, where the crimes are being committed, destructivist crimes. So we begin with all our efforts to bring the two ends together. And this is why we have so much, so many learning spaces at different levels, at community level, at academic level, at policy level. And we do a lot of exchanges. And sometimes we don't learn to go to the community, to sit down quietly, to hear from the people. Because sometimes activists tend to think that they have all the knowledge. We don't pay as much attention as we thought to when we find those who are actually impacted by this crisis. And we put a lot into exchange visits. Recently I was in with other colleagues in oil work Africa, in Ghana. We're not just going there to watch the oil. We want to see precedent environment that will be destroyed when that country takes extractivism to the certain regions. And also talking with officials about how they're already impacted by global warming. In the coming days I'll be in a team group on a solidarity business somewhere else in Africa. So we're doing this continuously, learning from what people are experiencing, building on that and also researching. I've been a part of a research team building on looking at climate change and conflict in the Gulf of Guinea, in the West African subregion. And all this learning was from the communities, not from the classroom, not from the laboratory, but the actual laboratory of life, the lived experience of people. And from there we're learning about how to take the actions forward and how to show that the Conference of Parties, the UNFCCC, is not about solving the climate problem. It's about how to avoid action. And that's what we're going to see in Egypt in November this year. The countries will gather to debate how to avoid action. How could nations be taking voluntary action on something that needs global action determined by science? That's what we're trying to do already that will be bumped. People are not taken by surprise when the storms keep coming, because those who should do something are not doing anything. Wonderful. And one request is coming in Nemo. If you can share your slides, people are excited to use them. So thank you. All right. I'll certainly send them to you by email. Perfect. And we'll email those out for everyone. This is being recorded. And some people will send them out, both the slides and the recording for people to be able to connect afterwards. Thank you so much. And if people do have additional questions, I love that people are organizing on the chat and starting to connect with other people. And if people have other questions they want to put in, chat's a great way to do that. So thank you for that. And we're going to see if we, Bugara, do we have you now? Yeah, let's try. Do we? Yes. Fantastic. So Akyaka has been doing work in Turkey where there's been a series of different wildfires, very large wildfires that I'm sure you'll discuss and talk about. And they've been dealing with a very specific climate impact and organizing around it. And so a chance for us to hear about how you're working on climate disasters. I might jump in with some questions, but I know you also have a presentation in your mind. So go for it, Bugara. Thank you. Thank you, Daniel. And let me share my screen here. Yes. I think it works now. Perfect. So yeah. Hi, everyone. And I'm really honored to be here and to share our story and especially talking after Nemo is to you. And it's great to be here because to be here with the very diverse background people all over the world and basically the people who cares, who cares about the nature, who cares about the future generations. And even if you haven't met, I feel that connection. And my name is Ra and I live in southwest of Turkey. And I've been a tech entrepreneur for my career. And last six years, I co-founded the social innovation platform in Istanbul. And because of that, I worked with impact investors, national international nonprofits, corporates and like issues such refugee crisis, youth unemployment, and equality. But today I was getting to the dark side, like the dark side of becoming a boring doomer. But then the story that I'm going to share now, it changed all of my life. I moved to southwest of Turkey during the pandemic in March 2020. And I was burned out and Mediterranean Forest basically welcomed me with open arms. And in 2021, last summer, same forest changed my life by burning like never before. And today I'm going to share the community led disaster response and preparedness. But I want to start with the answer. Like the biggest learning from our experience was that disasters can be a leverage point to build an antifragile neighborhoods via these community led initiatives. And it is also very transformative to witness in personal level. So I want to emphasize also antifragility here, because I believe that we should aim for antifragility, not for resilience. If, as Nasim Taleb mentioned in his book, that if we can stand our current approaches to prediction, prognostication, and risk management on their heads, we can transform humanitarian efforts such as disaster relief to regenerative development programs. So, and the second concept that I want to make in short introduction is this community led part. It's kind of like an umbrella term that is those who are already part of the local community who are affected and lives in this area. This definition distinguishes such as such responses from other types of localizations where international agencies support local actors to undertake projects basically like subcontracting. Because these kind of community led organizations, they organize in a common goal at community level. So like where you don't have traditional extractive model of boss who has a lot of capital, then hire some managers and manage bunch of people in a strict hierarchy. But community-based efforts are bunch of people coming together who are, in our case, neighbors, essentially peers, coming together and putizing each other and figuring out how to make this work. And in modern Western societies, we don't have that instinct programming of being able to organize ourselves in those kind of non-hierarchical ways. So we are much, much accustomed to that chain of command, like tell me what to do and what my part is. But actually in Anatolia, we have this concept, this phenomenon called IMECE. And since the thousands of years, especially Ottoman Empire, since the centralized government is not answering all of the requests and the needs of the locals, so village people develop this concept of collective action towards the common challenges and the needs. So that concept, that separate was very crucial in our story as and so what happens? I'm here because as Daniel mentioned that we had our biggest forest fires in Turkey's history last year. And what started as just preparing for 200 sandwiches for the firefighters in region became this civil initiative that shifted our relationships. And most importantly, our perspective about what it means to be neighbor and what we can do about the future disasters and other issues that our region is affected by. And yeah, to put context, this is where I live now. And these four region was affected by huge fires in just a couple of four days, starting simultaneously. And Akyaka was basically in the middle of and best location for to become a logistic hub. And we were both lucky and agile to put out the fires that happened in the region in the first 30 minutes. So they didn't became they didn't become a disaster. So we put our efforts to become a logistic hub for the region. Because of the magnitude of the disaster, the centralized organizations like failed to respond and lost their all effectiveness. It was like pure chaos on the field. And like the neglect of neglect and the misallocation of the resources. And for example, it turns out that Turkish government had not been entirely prepared for this and 85 million population and we don't have even one single operational firefighting plane. They've been renting three of them for Russia to put context compare that Greece has 39 firefighting plane planes in Greece. And the other coordination failure was that municipality who is responsible for the firefighting department, they didn't have any experience on the forest fires. I mean, their trucks were not even four wheeled off ready. And also between these organizations, they are not any information flow. But to put perspective of the coordination failure, their fire hose equipments are not compatible with each other. So these debates over how the fire started and the government's lack of preparedness in fighting the fires continued but distributed self starting initiatives flourished all of the affected areas. So we were one of them. And we have built a bridge between the needs of the field and the donor donors from all over the Turkey. And we were able to source and distribute 35 load of trucks, eight material and mobilized like 1000 1000 volunteers on the field. And like the way we did it was very organic, like we didn't have time to plan anything. So it was just happening. It was very emergent process. And once the fires couldn't control and rapidly grow to the second day, we started to have open calls via social media, WhatsApp groups to meet neighbors. And first we formed two teams, one for to visit the villages and talk to the neighbors. Since they've been dealing for forest fires for all their life, they have already experienced and know how. So we mined that insights. And the other team was responsible as that affected by the fire to see and learn about the process and what are the missing parts and also getting contact information from the regions so that we can coordinate with them. So basically, we collected the insights to tap in the local knowledge and seek advice from the experts, for example, like, okay, need to buy fire extinguishers, but do we buy the chemical ones? Or do we buy the form ones? We don't have any idea. So that was very important. And then make decisions with collaborative input. But we didn't wait for consensus. It was basically what we were doing that if someone has insight and takes responsibility to see the jobs to be done, then they can take initiative. And once the project ready, ask for objections. Is there any objection for this project and collect the feedbacks and decide and act? That's why it was very fast. And to give more concrete example about this process, in the third day of the fires that we learned that the village villages has this fire trailers, but only two of them have these trailers. And village people said that, okay, we need these trailers. And then one of our team member find a suitable manufacturer that is going to be provided in two days. And fundraising team stop all other fundraising efforts and focus on the because the neighbors insist it and they had the knowledge. So we changed the trajectory. And with the help of the local military police, we gathered the village chiefs. And we ended like 24 of these trailers in just three days. And fundraising happened from around 100 people. Imagine that like we couldn't, we would never manage to do this in three days in a hierarchical organization. And during the fires also like be connected with experts, our friends, our networks, they came and they helped us to have this organizational structure, which helped us to onboard and mobilize more volunteers. It was very important step in terms of mobilization. I'm not going to go to the details, but the big operations that was like need assessments, okay, what is needed on the field then logistics and procurement, fundraising, basically the government was like, you can't fundraise without a legal entity. So what we did was we find the places that needs to that can source the product that we need and send it the link to the donors and logistic team organized the arrival of the products. So that was really big hassle for us. And we had field teams, both for the fire intervention, but for also observation, the observation part was also important because the government started the fake news that fires was a terrorist attack. Somebody, some people were deliberately says like sabotage or attacked and people started to get their guns and start to cause some problems. So, but we can't go there and explain them, okay, this is, this is not a sabotage, but this is a climate change relating sub so what we did again connecting with the local military police. We changed the structure of the observation and it helped us build a new dialogue as well. Also animal rescue team and local coordination was other part of the efforts. Let's see. So this is a story. This is basically the military military station. And they led us use as a logistic center. Sounds are. Let's see. And this is the part where held where they hold the prison prisoners, but it came a storage unit, and people spent like eight hours, 10 hours here. And the other part that we filled the gap was that you can see here, the fire trucks needed to have at least four people to operate effectively, but because of the cuts and this allocations of the resources, all the trucks had only two people. So volunteers filled that gap. And these are the young kite surf teacher and young community in Akyaka, who are helping the firefighters. So like one of the most important learning for me was that diversity was our strength. And to be able to have that, I mean, I even joke about this, if I can, we can develop a diversity score and forecast the effectiveness of a community led organization. Because if you talk about disaster preparedness and response, you need everyone. You can't be just the volunteers because volunteers concept is a privileged urban concept. It doesn't have a relevancy in the village. So you need to have a solidarity across all demographic democracies and all community clusters. So that one of our strength and one of the most important learnings. And like after the disaster, we worked on a report and we realized that most important thing that we had was relationships that trust networks that already happened there. And also the key player, the bridge people who connect these networks during the crisis. Also competencies, if you need everyone on deck, if you have some special competencies that you can apply during the disaster, it changed the course of and know how and effectiveness of the organization. So after the disaster, we had a link report. And also, as Daniel mentioned, this is this affects you in very different levels. And especially the psychology that affected the parents, the young, the child, everyone. So we had a social first training. And also we field visits and social activities. And the learning report was important for us because it provided accountability and transparency for us because we were able to provide leads of the equipment that we distributed to the region with a complete report. So that was important. And also, since we don't have any legal entity, we use the report to have a main stream PR relations to build legitimacy. It was also important for us before we start to this summer's preparedness. And in the winter time, we started with the resource mapping with the local NGOs and municipality. And then we developed a blueprint with the village chiefs and volunteers in a workshop. And then the third step was we need a decision making an organizational structure that both easy to implement and easy to execute. So when we look at how we can solve this, we saw that sociocracy was basically what we did during the disaster organically. So we developed this organizational structure. And then we started trainings on first date and first fires. And also we use that blueprint to map the neighborhoods in terms of the risks and the resources. Here are some photos that we like we visited the neighborhoods and we met with the village chiefs and neighbors here. So we have 90 minutes of structured conversation blueprint for our volunteers to exit when they visit the villages. And we also developed an organizational driver to be able to align all these autonomous neighborhoods and the working groups. So our organization driver is basically we need to put out the fire in first 15 minutes. And how are we going to do that? Neighbors needs to be have a cube and ready for that intervention. So this is our organizational structure based on the sociocracy. And it is very dynamic. And every circle has at least three or four people here. And what we have here also a communication and very good program and what's up strategy on the red first fire of the season was put by the youth in the village. So we got we met with them and we interviewed with them. And actually we started to develop a project with them now. And we got training from the director of the forestry. And also we got first aid training and also like garbage collection meetings regularly during the high risk season. And one of the other things that we developed was also our technology work group connected with experts and the local university here. We developed this telegram chatbot to map the risks and resources. And we have this dashboard that we are using and all of the data that we collected is here on our air table database. And this is like we have the risk, we have the resources and the needs and the communication information of the people. So during this summer we had only four fires luckily in the region. And this database was so push to mobilize people. I mean, we have a long way to go. And one of the things that we are working on right now is training simulation. So it's in Turkish, sorry, but it's basically based on your role in your neighborhood. It says that, okay, you see the smoke and what is your next step? And you call the number then what's your next step. So this is kind of like a training simulation that one of our friends in Doctors Without Boards helped us in his surplus time. And yeah, this is and next for the next year, this winter, we already in touch with other civil initiative initiatives in the region. And we are working on a meeting in our region to be able to share these learns and tools with other initiatives, because based on the region and the context, every civil initiative has different strengths. So if we were to combine those learnings, we will have a wider solidarity in the region. And just to mention about since we became not just for the disaster, but we became neighbors, friends. And that solidarity helped us game this fertile ground for other projects, such as in December, we had a local heirloom seed project. And he did a local youth law food camp with university students and the young people who live in the village. And also we launched a young farm program, which that one young farmer is learning to apply regenerative agriculture practices. And we hope that he will become a role model and also help us to fuse the regenerative farming practices in the village. And so these are the some of the project that we've been working on. And yeah, thank you for the opportunity. And for me to see, I've been waiting for these disasters for the last six years, seven years. And I was kind of like stuck in a place that Habiga survived from all these. And I knew intellectually that solidarity and collection was important, but experiencing that and embodying that relationship and trust had me change both professionally and personally. And I'm gonna stop now. Thank you for the opportunity. I couldn't follow the chat, but yeah, does it make sense? But I don't know how others are reacting, but I'll just say whoa. The moment that I got most impressed was 24 trailers in three days. Go ahead with what you want to say, but two things. One, Shafak asks if you'll have your presentation if that's shareable. If you can email it. And they shared it and asked in Turkish. And so if there is a Turkish translation, let us know. And if not, we can maybe do some translation for some of the materials. But it's an incredible array of self-organizing that happened. And I found a lot of pieces that I was taking notes as an organizer about, oh, that system that you built. And I'm curious if you could say more about just how some of those unfolded. So sometimes when self-organizing happens, it can look like magic because it's like, they're just doing things. But also there's a way in which some people, for example, play a coordination role. So just do magic it for a moment. It is also magical, but also bring us a little bit more about how some of those networks unfolded to make that happen. I think one of the things that in Turkey, the OECD charts and statistics, the polarization is a top five. And when you think about like, you wouldn't expect something like this happen in Turkey because of that polarization, but the love of the nature and to be able to extend this nature's presence to next generations was a combining and like being a shared purpose. Like we have like lesbian couples convincing the police, local terrorist, you know, and like, and all the biases that people have like the village people had a lot of biases towards the newly immigrated people. But once you have that shared purpose, that moment when you look at in the eye of your neighbor with that same aim, then something started to change. And also I think one of the most important role that people play that the ones who are really calm and really have an empathy towards others, those are the ones who connect that bridges for us. So like in our core team, as you said, very magically, I sometimes I say that the big forest fire became a campfire that we gather around in a circle and become and remember our enemy cultures, you know, like and it it demolished all of the polarization and biases and and it's still going now, you know, like that's why we emphasize that our strength comes from our diversity, you know, like that is the most important part. And I'm not very happy about this volunteer concept, because it doesn't work in my opinion. And we are talking about this battery, blockchain, new economy, shit, you know, sorry, we need to be able to compensate the this care work that David Graber also mentions, you know, right now capitalism causing these problems. And they're trying to solve the problem that caused by that mechanism with the volunteer. I believe in that. So we are working on how we can utilize blockchain and new funding mechanisms as well. Yeah. Great. Thank you for that. And more people are asking for the slides. So you'll definitely have to share the slides. And another just question about how you I think one thing that I saw in the story that you're talking about is just how, as you say, lots of people sort of came in in a moment of a of a serious need and immediate impact. Politics in some ways went to the wayside. It didn't disappear at all. But it in some ways, it steps aside where you can use a place where people are waiting for prison as a spot for organizing. And something that like Kerry was talking about is sort of the feelings of hope and hopelessness. And I think one thing that happens is, in these moments when we have an impact, spaces can open up where communities can also they can collapse, they can also strengthen. And so you're signaling to us some of the ways that they can strengthen. And that's by both bringing an organizing approach that's very broad and very open. And I also hear bringing also serving people's immediate needs. And so dealing with very practical questions. And so we're not up here talking at a very high level, but a very practical, how can we assist you in protecting your home? How can we assist you in putting out a fire? How can we find four people to find 24 trailers in three days and find four people to staff each of those? What are any other things that you feel clear about like, maybe as one individual in who maybe we don't have a whole system set up. But what does one individual do that assists to help get into that terrain to help us organize? If I'm just one person and I know two neighbors, what's that starting spot to help do that self organizing? Great question, actually, because like, usually, like, people like us in this call are not very surrounded people like us. You know, we are alone in the neighborhood, we are alone the company, we are alone in some organizations. But for this, if you go to your neighbor and just talk about the risks and resources, like, okay, what are the risks in our region, right in our neighborhood? What are the risks that we should prepare for? And also what are the resources we have in case something happens and if you would need to use that? I think disasters are like great conversation openers, you know, like it is the perfect way to start a conversation in your neighborhood about to be prepared, you know. And during this disaster times, you know, in Greek, ancient Greek time has two structures like Kairos and Kronos, you know, like the Kairos is different while experiencing right now. And during the disaster, I think the Kairos opening up and there is more possibilities, more emerging futures that are waiting to born. And if you would even one person go to your neighbor and start that conversation, I mean, at least you can see that you're not alone. I mean, that is one thing. And also, like, even this winter, I say that like, even this winter that the people we worked at during the disaster, the majority opinion was, okay, this was a 100 year event. Maybe it's not gonna happen again. So we like even that fresh memory of three months, people were still, you know, maybe it's not gonna happen again. And we lost momentum on March and April. And we were like pushing like we had this core people. And also, that's why I don't believe in volunteers, because during that winter time and March and April, we worked with village chiefs, we worked with the locals, you know, like, because they knew if something couldn't, it's gonna, but you know, that that mindset, you need to connect. This is like community led, community based, anything is hard work. And you need to, you need to be there completely 100%. But that is even if you progress is slow, it's really very strong, very powerful. And luckily, we are in the end of this summer season. And like, we are that's why we're very happy and we end up not losing any area in Africa. But we had like four fires. And the structure that we built worked really good. People were not helpless. And people like people knew what they supposed to do in case of that emergency. And if you have family memory, if you have like, if you are father, if you are mother, if you like with your loved ones, for cat, for your dog, best thing that you can do is be prepared. And just start the conversation with your neighbor. Excellent. Thank you so much. Any, any last words that you want to offer? And then we'll go over to Hilda to share about some of the work that she's been doing. Yeah, just I want to say that, like, we have, I was really stuck between the nihilism or depression because of the collapse narrative. But now I see a third way. And that is the solidarity. And it just starts a conversation. It's, and even if small and local, it works. And it helps and it's very transformative. And thank you. Thank you so much, Buddha. So we're going to turn to Hilda. Hilda, if you can come off mute and on your video. We're going to get to hear from Hilda who there are many of us who are fans of Hilda for quite a while for the work that she's been doing on founding FSS in Uganda and being a spokesperson and just being a very powerful speaker engaging. And so we're excited to hear from you about how you and your community have been responding to climate impacts and the lessons that you're bringing with us. So again, I might interrupt just to ask a few questions along the way. But otherwise, I'll kick it over to you, Hilda. And so excited. Thank you for joining us. Yes. Can you hear me? We can hear you. Your video isn't working very well. So but go ahead and begin. Thanks. Okay. Thank you so much, Damia. I'm glad to be here. Hello to everyone. Good morning. Good afternoon. According to where you're based, my name is Hilda and I come from Uganda. I come from a country that the colonialist once called the pearl of Africa. I come from a country whose past was glorious but present is uncertain. I come from a country which has vast rainforests. It has birds flying. It has wildlife. It has waterfalls and very fascinating flora and fauna. And in most cases tourist travel from developed countries to my country to frequently watch this thing. I come from a country that is filled with rivers and lakes, swamps and wetlands. And this country had copper but people of my generation are only seeing empty copper miles thanks to the British who exhaustively exploited it and developed themselves. My country is called Uganda and it's formed in the east of Africa. It's one of the poorest countries and that are very vulnerable to the impact of climate change. But with resources that continue to develop the already developed countries. I come from a country with diverse culture and tradition and my country has over 50 languages but thanks to the British who are made to speak one language and that is English so the other languages can be forgotten. By forgetting our language is giving up on our culture and our words. In my culture we have clans. We and every clan has a totem and every totem has its own beliefs and norms and these clans are differentiated on animal basis such as cow clan, lion clan, monkey clan, frog and so on. So I come from a Uganda culture and my clan is Kalabash monkey. One of our norms is that you are not supposed to eat your clan but rather you have to take care of it, you have to love it and this is done to preserve nature because you cannot hurt what you love so you cannot hurt your clan or your totem and this is how preservation, conservation and sustainability is practiced in my culture and 20 years back having a tree in every family's compound was unknown and we believed that our traditional spirits lived in these trees and that many and many people respected these trees so they could not cut them down for whatever reason but this is not the case anymore and that is why there is increased need for us to practice it. I'm speaking about this right now because there are a lot of climate catastrophes that are happening in the world. We are facing the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced and we have a lot of questions about what do we need to do, what has to be done, we are forgetting what we used to do that didn't lead us into what we are right now. These are this indigenous knowledge and practices that we used to do but we are so much on development that we forget what we used to do. I put together a short presentation here. This is a country where I come from and it has like you can see a lot of agriculture, forests, you know lakes like Lake Victoria which is the biggest freshwater body in Africa and it's also the second biggest in the world. We have forests like you can see here or what I'm talking about and the rate of forest cover, so yeah of forest cover loss in my country right now stands at about 2.6 percent annually and this is one of the highest in the world and most 30 percent of the forests are on protected land but then 70 percent is on private land that means there is more risk of this forest being cut down for human activities you know for construction, for agriculture and many other reasons. The mid variability which is becoming rough and has led to low productivity of crops, rampant droughts in some areas there are floods recently in the eastern part of my country we experienced floods and lost about 30 people and this is a very big challenge because this is a mountainous area and there are rivers that come from where the mountains pass from and these rivers burst their banks because we were experiencing heavy rains and because of these people's houses were flooded people's plantations were submerged and it goes on and on it happens each and every year my country keeps facing these floods and in the northern part it's a different story because there it's a question of drought there is a lot of drought in the northern parts of the country around here and these droughts affect close to 2.4 million people and it's estimated the estimated loss and damage value up to 1.2 billion equivalent to 7.5 percent of Uganda's or Mike's 20-inch effects that we experienced so as we may know Africa contributes less than 4 percent of the global greenhouse emissions but it's one of the continents that are facing firsthand effects of climate change and we continue to face this as the direct cause of the climate crisis is still happening and it's still going on global greenhouse emissions are continuing to increase even at a time when we have to limit that in order to stay alive this is a picture of the droughts that are happening in the whole of Africa and the floods that are happening in Uganda so this here is my village it's where I come from I remember traveling to my home village there it's in Masaka district when I was little and all I could see on the way were swamps, forests and bushes and more often my grandmother used to send us food in the city from our plantation because there was plenty in the gardens as time went on things started to change food became scarce and very expensive swamps and forests were cleared for rice and sugarcane growing by the so-called investors global warming causing unpredictable seasons disastrous weather conditions characterized by heavy rains strong winds lower high temperatures that threw down our crops dried our streams and without plantations making it hard for agriculture which was our source of survival as more and more conditions came up we had my family had to sell off of our land so as to survive so we started buying food from the city instead to take to take to my grandmother in the village because there wasn't more food coming from the village to support us or to sustain us so we had to buy food expectively from the city and sent her which was not the you can this past was glorious but the present is polluted I do not know about climate change until I attended a dialogue at my university and the speaker mentioned that very little is being done to tackle climate change and at that moment I felt very terrible and even more determined and responsible to be part of a solution and since then I joined millions of other people fighting for climate justice globally and from that time I made a decision I refused to be silent about the global crisis about the greatest challenge that we are facing and so I stood up and as I speak to you right now investors are clearing the forests for sugarcane plantations in the name of development what we've been working on lately is the east african crude oil pipeline oil giant total energy is yet to cost a 1,443 kilometer long pipeline it will be the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline I have pictures of it right here yeah uh this is the pipeline that I'm talking about it will start from hoima in Uganda and to the port of tanga in Tanzania it will be the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline and it is a climate bomb it is passing through major national parks it's passing through wetlands rivers it's passing through lakes it's putting millions of lives at risk a third of this pipeline is is expected to be built around lake victoria benzene as you can see this area so and this lake is shared among many countries in african which only that three but it's also that's also the longest river now and it goes all the way through Egypt a lot of people are at risk if in case of an oil spill happens from this pipeline the eco pipeline because it will cause uh it will affect lake victoria which benefits over 40 million people's lives and many that project has not uh completely compensated the people those who were able to get compensation uh it has been halfway and not fully paid and that is a very big challenge because they are not able to meet their regular lives or to meet their regular needs and live a normal life like they have been even before the pipeline many people are are at risk many people's lives are at risk and many communities have been affected many cultures have been affected have been had traditions are being lost due to this and this is what is happening in the community so most of the people's land has been taken and that time during the covid pandemic in 2020 people started to speak up because they didn't have land to grow crops because most of the land that was taken from them and total as a company promised to pay these people so it acquired land from the public and people were refused to use their land even when compensation has not been made so during the covid pandemic many people were affected because they would not access their land and yet they were not paid so people started to speak up about this and they say they could at least grow crops that do not take over three months to harvest so very small crops like beans that do not take a long time this pipeline is going to affect a lot of biodiversity which includes lakes and rivers Uganda is a country that is blessed with many lakes and rivers and where this pipeline in the previous place where this pipeline is pathing here is a lake there are many rivers around here and also this is a lake so Uganda as a country benefits a lot from fisheries and it contributes a lot to our economy lives it contributes a lot of life to water and other resources that means many people not to be able to get clean water you want to be able to carry out activities like fishing agriculture our health will be affected and many other things other by diversity is at risk this pipeline is passing through natural parks game reserves and one of the oldest which is Maksion Falls one of the one of the genders oldest national parks it has very many animals it has elephants it has both of those it has chimpanzees it has snakes birds crawlers all kinds of animals are already at risk also to mention this pipeline passes through forests one of Uganda's only net tropical forest that is the gama forest is going to be affected and this forest is already facing risk from sugarcane growers like I said investors who are coming in to take these natural resources away from the people in the name of this means and they love so investors are already clearing up this forest and otherwise from that is advocate could go pipeline because it would be cleared to create space for this pipeline which is not good as animals from this forest are already running away and encroaching in people's plantations and houses causing distractions and because of self-defense people are also killing these animals and thus reducing their numbers so the animals are afraid to the humans and the humans are afraid to the animals so it's because of this type of that wants to be constructed because of the all the bad species in Uganda the biodiversity Uganda is a country that is rich in biodiversity in nature there are lots and lots of birds so as activists as youth as young people we are mobilizing to to create an end to this pipeline because of the effects it has on our country on our land on the people on nature but also on the world at large this pipeline is expected to emit over 34.3 million metric tons of carbon a year and that is only in the exploration part that means there's more carbon to be emitted throughout the transportation period and this is a risk to all of us because at a time like this the world is looking at reducing carbon emissions in order to stay below 1.5 degree Celsius but projects like this are continuing to be constructed and they are proving to be a source of carbon emissions so this is a very it's a very ridiculous project and as Nemo explained in his presentation that many European countries are now looking at Africa as a resource of oil and gas but we just want to be clear on this that the African or Africa is not known for oil production it's not known for gas production we are known for agriculture and it's agriculture that can make our survival it's agriculture that we know how what to how to do it and it's agriculture that we did if there is any form of development it should be a just transition from fossil fuel from fossil fuels to renewable energy and some of these actions have been done locally but also internationally there is a stock ECOPE coalition which has over 20 organizations both local and global and we work together to address the issues around the African crude oil pipeline a lot has been done emails have been sent to different stakeholders total total as a company approached different bankers and insurers asking them for support in this project and we have been having different actions that included meeting these banks and these insurance companies and talking to them about the dangers the project is the dangers the project is is bringing on the people and how the project is violating human rights because many people's rights are not respected activists who speak up activists on human rights defenders who try to speak up against this project are silenced in different ways sometimes they are arrested sometimes they are detained sometimes they are harassed and sometimes they are threatened just uh get this message someone's telling you stop doing this or else something that will happen so there are a lot of insecurities with uh this project and if a project has such a beginning a beginning of arrests a beginning of detaining people a beginning of human rights violations then that means that project is not good for the people and that is why we are trying to create awareness about this and we've been working together with other activists internationally to create awareness especially in europe and in france because total is a french company and we created awareness about this economy uh france to get um support to get to create solidarity around us and also so that we have different actions happening around the world especially in these countries that have more freedom than us in Uganda it's not safe to have for example a climate strike and um you can be arrested you can be detained you can be shot so we work with other activists abroad who can have these actions of like the climate strikes freely without risking their lives without risking uh without risking their lives without risking anything and we continue to speak up about uh this is african huddle pipeline to create awareness among the people both locally and also internationally and uh biggest challenge locally is that uh many people know about the injures or the effects of the pipeline has uh government and the media and since the media is governed by the government there is even a bigger risk of people misunderstanding what what the pipeline is all about and there's even a bigger risk of the picture that people have about the pipeline because they think that the pipeline is a source of you know money is going to bring a lot of money to the country but which is not the case because the pipeline provides very free jobs and these jobs are uh for a short time they are just temporary jobs and our biggest challenge is changing the mindsets of the public and having them to to get the right information to understand the real the real actions that are taking place on ground and how people on the ground are being affected by this pipeline and many people are in denial because they think uh this project will benefit each and everyone and yet this project is just meant to benefit uh a few people who are having higher positions in the government but what is happening on ground is that the people that are being affected do not have a lot of space to share because they fear risking their lives because whoever talks about this project on the ground is threatened is harassed is detained and this is the kind of uh this is another challenge that we face that activists who want to support and you know join these activities have this fear that their lives will be at risk uh because of the threats that are going on because of the arrests but we try to gather use uh gather use and carry out a lot of sensitizations we talk to people in different languages uh which are to you explain to people the truth about the eco project and uh the threats it has and why that and how the government is miscommunicating or misinforming and all that and we continue to do this at universities because universities have a big number of people you can talk to big numbers of people at the same time and also because these are percentage a good percentage of land people so they uh they can understand this information uh quickly and these people can also talk to other people in the communities about this project about what is happening on ground so that we can build a movement of youth who are spreading climate awareness who are spreading uh the right information about the east African capital pipeline and doing different actions together so that we can store this pipeline and what we've been able to rally is uh first in building the numbers because if we are so many people speaking up about the east African capital pipeline then that increases our security so there's less risk in numbers as they want for example detained over 1000 or 2000 people in a police station so that is what we try to tell the people and also it has been very difficult to explain to people who do not have any clue about climate change and they are very many in Uganda because climate change is not taught in school so it's very hard for them to understand and what we do is we tell a story on what is happening in people's lives right now so for example if you go to a region that's being affected by floods you talk to them about what uh you try to explain climate change in a way that they understand or that they feel so you will use that as an example to help them understand what you are trying to convey and this has helped us in getting more people on board but also helping them understand easily what climate change is or what their role in combating climate change is by relating with the things that they understand or the challenges that they are facing at that exact moment sorry I'm going to interrupt and say thank you Hilda for your presentation I think many of us may have caught the heartbeat that what you're doing involves risk in fact and that given the political situation it's such a it's the kind of situation in which you said it that there's great risk and yet with numbers it actually supports us and so I appreciate that you sharing stories of both the place that you come from but also the international work that you're doing with the ECOP campaign a campaign that connects multiple countries both those who are immediately connected to um uh the pipeline and and directly impacted but also other countries who've also been being ally and support with it and so even just being on this call again is part of that global experience and so we're experiencing the global experience uh also a reflection of the international uh lack of justice just by internet disparity um and so I just I appreciate everyone bearing with some of the moments when we couldn't hear every word uh but we got your heartbeat and we got the message of what you're bringing Hilda and so thank you for that so much and I just as we're as we're heading into a close I want to invite people to share with us anything that you're committing to any lessons that you're bringing so I'm hoping that people are are pulling things out threads from all of the different people from Shabayan from Nemo from uh Hilda from Buda um and so feel free to post those on the chat some of the pieces that you're bringing and taking away that you're gonna use um I do again want to say thanks to all the panelists um I'm I'm reminded at this moment uh as I was we were organizing these training sessions one of my colleagues said to me she said look if there's if you speak to one person if you can move one person to commit their life to doing work on climate change or believing that this work it matters that's a success it's not about the 10,000 I mean if you can convince 10,000 that's good too but if you can move one person and I'm reminded about this in the spirit of of dealing with our climate impacts that it's about saving the people next to us is about protecting the people around us it's about building a global community but also as Buda said it's about connecting with uh just the the the neighbor next to us and so whether we feel like we can speak to thousands or we can just speak to our neighbor we have uh responses available uh ways to act and I'm reminded also about my own uh my own daughter uh who she after after the flood um when the flood happened we we canude over to our neighbors to check in on them and my daughter came out smiling after that experience uh and she said Daniel I hope it floods again she's four uh three at the time but I appreciate it as a just I mean it blew my mind because I did not want it to flood and I do not want it to flood and yet I hear Buda telling us that in fact this this moved him out of despair uh I hear Nemo talking about how people are refusing to act out of fear and are still committing to justice greater and greater justice and awareness I hear Hilda saying even though our government is can be repressive even though acting can be dangerous that actually when we build a circle of people that it connects us and so thanks for joining us for today thank you for the work that you're doing um uh we will share these chats we will share these recordings um Hilda you seem to have a new fan Jane wants to connect with you uh and have your email address I hope you'll be able to connect directly um and just thank you all the panelists interpreters I know not every moment is easy thank you interpreters um thank you all the panelists again thank you for all the tech people and thank you everyone so have a great night morning afternoon wherever you are um and all blessings all right bye everyone

All right, good morning. Welcome, glad you're here, hey brother. This morning we are embarking on a new study as you are well aware, the last few Sundays we were looking at some ecclesiology subjects and in particular the documents of the church. And so over the last three Sundays we've considered the covenant of the church, the constitution and the confession. And so this morning then, we get the joy of starting on a new study still related to ecclesiology, hey brother. And we're going to be coordinating ecclesiology, this ecclesiology study on Sunday morning with what we are doing on Sunday night in the essentials. And so hopefully coordinating those two things will help you sort of better retain all that we're talking about and doing as a church. And pray that I'll be a blessing to you. So this morning we're embarking on a study that we're calling a theology of public life, a theology of public life. There should be outlines available if you wanna get one of those. I gave you this morning a basic outline of the course and I plan to introduce the subject, introduce this course of study to you this morning. We'll get started on that in earnest next Sunday. And if you're looking at your outline, there's two parts associated with it. And those points there that are listed under those two parts will be multiple Sundays long. So this study we anticipate may take us through the end of the year. And so we'll explain more as we go with respect to that. So a theology of public life. Put the subtitle under that lessons for Lot in the city of Sodom. And I think that'll become more clear as we work through the study together. But that's sort of the position that we are in today in our world. We are essentially Lot. If you're a Christian, then you are, as the Bible describes Lot, righteous Lot. And you are living in the city of Sodom, so to speak, that as it did Lot, vexed his righteous soul, vexed his hours as well. And so a theology of public life then is going to deal with that particular subject. And I thought that I would begin our introduction this morning from 2nd Peter chapter three. So turn there with me, 2nd Peter chapter three. And let's look at this text together. I think 2nd Peter chapter three well describes the age in which we live. And then we're going to present to you this morning why we are taking time to develop or cultivate a theology of public life. 2nd Peter chapter three, look there beginning in verse one. Where Peter says, beloved, I now write to you this second epistle in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts and saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willfully forget that by the word of God the heavens were of old, the earth standing out of the water and in the water by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water, but the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. In other words, what we see going on now is an example, should be a testimony of God's patience, his forbearance, not willing that any of his should perish but that all of his should come to repentance. We're in a time period right now, the way that the apostles described it as being the age to come, this age, the age to come. We're in this evil perverse generation, this age. And during this age in which we find ourselves, the Lord is gathering together his elect from the four corners of the earth and the Lord is patient, not willing that any of them should perish but that all of them should come to repentance. Verse 10, but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with a fervent heat. Both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, here's the question we're answering, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness? During this time in which we live, during this period of increasing wickedness, what manner of persons ought we to be in our holy conduct and godliness? Looking for verse 12, and hastening the coming of the day of God because of which the heavens will be dissolved being on fire, the elements will melt with a fervent heat. Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. So, this is the age in which we live, right? Knowing these things, knowing the age in which we live, what manner of persons ought we to be? How should we then live is the way that Francis Schaefer put that question in a book that he wrote. And we're gonna talk about that book as we work through this course of study together. In answer to the question, answer to that question, the reformers would begin to refer to a unifying concept that describes the life of the genuine Christian in this age. The entirety of the Christian life, the reformers would summarize, should be lived quorum deo, quorum deo. Now, if you were in service last Sunday night, we mentioned quorum deo briefly. But that quorum deo, that word, Latin phrase, meaning before God or in the presence of God or before the face of God, the reformers would begin to formulate this summary of the Christian life, quorum deo, as the way that we are to live in this present evil age. Psalm 5613 is where that phrase comes from. David says, for you have delivered my soul from death, have you not kept my feet from falling that I may walk quorum deo before God in the light of the living? Quorum deo came from the Vulgate. It was a Latin translation of that particular verse. And the reformers began to think of the Christian life as in its total in every aspect from one moment to the next moment to the next moment as quorum deo. There was in the church at that time this sort of increasing sacred secular split. You had a clergy class that was in a class by itself, so to speak. You had what went on in the church. The church was beginning to take over matters pertaining to the state. And then you had the rest of the public, so to speak, living their daily lives would come into the church for that which is sacred, go back out into the world for that which was secular. And there was this increasing secular sacred split. That's not so in the Bible. We don't see that dichotomy in every sense in which they thought of it. That all of life, work, school, home, family, including church, vocation, all of it was to be lived before the face of God. When you rise up in the morning, when you lie down at night to go to sleep, even during the night, all of your life lived before the face of God or in the presence of God. In other words, the one who lives by faith is to live all of life under the watchful gaze of Almighty God, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the one whom we love and the one to whom we must give an account. So, and just as his gaze or his Lordship extends to every facet of life, we are to live every facet of life, including every successive moment under his authority and for his glory, Corum Deo, okay? For the reformers, Corum Deo became a unifying biblical concept for a theology of public life. They began to develop, cultivate a theology of public life. Job says this, Job 34, verse 21, his eyes are on the ways of man and he sees all his steps. There is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. Jeremiah, chapter 32, verse 17. Ah, Lord God, behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you. You show loving kindness to thousands, repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. We are to live before the watchful gaze of an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God, Corum Deo. JC Ryle says this, there's no place in heaven or earth where he is not, no place in air or land or sea, no place above ground or underground, no place in town or country, no place in Europe, Asia, Africa or America where God is not always present. And we know that he's always present in the fullest of his deity at all times and all places. Now, so enter into your closet and lock the door. Ryle says, God is there. Climb to the top of the highest mountain where not even an insect moves, God is there. Sail to the most remote island in the Pacific Ocean where the foot of man never trod, God is there. He is always near us, seeing, hearing, observing, knowing every action and deed and word and whisper and look and thought and motive and every secret of every one of us wherever we are. So we are to live all of life, Corum Deo before the face of God. That express is not so much an aspiration as it does a reality, right? It's a reality that all of life is lived before the face of God. So over the centuries though, that concept twisted and misapplied would lead many into an error called monasticism, right? Monasticism, and we're to live all of life, Corum Deo before the face of God. Well, we need to sequester ourselves away from the world so that we can be holy, right? And monasticism developed. The widespread rise of monasteries, orders of monks and nuns, this movement, the movement of monasticism began largely in the fourth century. Constantine the Great, who was the head of the Roman Empire, issued his Edict of Milan in 313 AD. The Edict of Milan was not necessarily making Christianity the state religion as it was decriminalizing Christianity, making, giving Christianity state protections. And that would largely end what was before widespread persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. Christians were being severely persecuted, and this would essentially end that persecution. But as the institutional church enjoyed less persecution from without, less attacks and assaults from without, many began to notice an increasing secularism or an increasing corruption infecting the church from within, right? Where Satan couldn't destroy the church from without, Satan began attacking the church from within. And so some decided that in order to live quorum deo, the entirety of our lives before the face of God would require a radical separation even from the institutional church. And that's where monasticism began to rise. What you see in church history then, during the medieval period and after are monks and nuns in caves, in deserts, hiding out on mountain tops. There's this story of Simon the Stylite who lived 37 years on a small platform on top of a pillar. And they had to get his food up to him and take down from him the effects of eating all that food. And he lived his entire life on the top of this pillar, 37 years he spent up there. There's stories of monks and nuns essentially cementing themselves into the walls of cathedrals that were being built, leaving a small space for food to be passed back and forth. This was an ascetic, an asceticism, an ascetic lifestyle. It was something they did that they thought would make them holy. Asceticism is denying or abusing the body for spiritual gain, believing that it will earn merit or earn favor with God. Attempting a physical separation from the world they separated themselves. They hold themselves up in caves, rocks, deserts, even the walls of cathedrals. All as a means they thought to achieve a righteousness that pleases God. And we know that that's not possible, that by no work of the law will men be justified in God's sight, but that through faith alone and Jesus Christ alone is what justifies us. They had a twisted or a misapplied notion of this concept of living a Christian life, Corum Deo. The reformers understood that to live Corum Deo did not mean radical separation. Christians are not to be of the world or to love the things of the world, but Christians are in this world, we're to live in this world. The Lord's Prayer, think about this with me, from John chapter 17, John chapter 17 verse 14. The Lord prays, I have given them your word and the world has hated them because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world. You notice that Jesus Christ didn't separate himself from interacting with sinners, right? He was constantly excoriated by the Jews for eating with tax collectors and sinners. So Jesus prays, verse 15, I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one, we're to live in this world, but not be of this world. They are not of this world, just as I am not of this world, sanctify them or set them apart as holy, sanctify them by your truth, your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, what does the Lord say? I also sent them into the world and for their sakes, I sanctify myself, they also may be sanctified by the truth. The Lord says in 1 Corinthians chapter five, think about this text with me. 1 Corinthians chapter five, verse nine. Paul says, I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. And Paul's referring to a former letter that he wrote them, telling them that they weren't to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet Paul explains, I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world. Since then, with coveters or extortioners or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world, right, what is Paul saying? Can't separate from sinners. If you attempt to separate from sinners, you're gonna have to go out of the world. You're gonna have to monkify yourself in deserts and caves, put yourself on a 40 foot pole and live there for the rest of your life because you're not gonna get away from living in this world any other way. Paul's not telling us to do that, right? But Paul says now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother who is sexually immoral or covetous or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even to eat with such a person. So that's a text referring to church discipline, not a text teaching us to sequester ourselves away from the rest of the world. We also have the Great Commission, don't we? The Great Commission, Mark chapter 16 verse 15, we are to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. We're not to avoid the world. The Lord Jesus Christ constantly rebuked by the Jews from England with tax collectors and sinners. Okay, so for the reformers then and for the Christian, for you and I today, this means a theology of engagement, not a theology of avoidance. We're not to avoid the world. We are to labor in this world with the gospel. Corum Deo is to live for the glory of God in every aspect of life as we engage this world, this lost world with the gospel. Paul says we are ambassadors for Christ. It's interesting, you know, being an ambassador for Jesus Christ presupposes that you're a citizen of another country, right? You're not a citizen of this world. You are in this world, not of this world. It presupposes that our citizenship is elsewhere. We are ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us. We are imploring men on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God, right? So what began to flow from this way of thinking was a theology of public life that we first began really to see worked out by the reformers. And that has far-reaching effects on life. It involves every aspect of public life as we'll see working through this study together. So the collective teaching of the Bible then with respect to living as pilgrims and sojourners here in the world, not of the world, living Corum Deo, all of life, live before the face of God before the watchful gaze of God under the authority of God for the glory of God. This teaching of the Bible constitutes what we would call a theology of public life, a theology of public life. Is the Lordship of Jesus Christ a public matter or a private matter? We know the answer to that question, don't we? It's a public matter. The Lordship of Jesus Christ extends to all whether they submit themselves to it or not, whether they believe it or not, whether they know it or not. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not a private matter. The Lordship of Jesus Christ is a very public matter. Is this the four walls of this building? Is this a monastery? No. Or is this a forward operating base? It is a forward operating base, an outpost of heaven. This is not a monastery. So how am I to walk in this world in a way that is worthy of the calling with which I've been called in every aspect of life? That is a theology of public life. It's the question we're gonna be answering. What is our role as Christians in society in this wicked and perverse generation? Do I have a responsibility as a Christian? Do I have a responsibility to this culture? Do I have a responsibility to my government? Do I have a responsibility to lost people? We know that to be clearly true from the Bible. How are we to conduct ourselves in the public marketplace? How are we to conduct ourselves in the public sphere on the job, at the market, with the government, in politics? Does God's word have anything to say to our nation? And who are the prophetic voices that carry God's word to our nation? Do we have a responsibility to our nation to do that very thing on behalf of the Lord? What is the relationship between the family and the church? What is the relationship between the church and the state? And what is the relationship between the state and the individual Christian? And individual Christian liberties in our theology of public life. Why would we preach at the abortion mills? Why would we consider starting a school? Why would we plant churches in other areas that are not here? Why is there a team in Daha-Bone as we speak? How are we to live in this world? Answers to these questions constitute a theology of public life. And a theology of public life seeks to answer all of those kinds of questions, okay? The difficulty, the difficulty of or associated with a sound biblical theology of public life is that all who desire to live godly in this way in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Right, we'll suffer persecution. Second Timothy chapter three, verse 12. Conflict and hostility ensues. And conflict and hostility does not ensue when you make a monkry of your faith. When you monasticize your faith. That's not when persecution, with hostility, and conflict ensues. Conflict and hostility ensues when you confront a world, a lost world that has embraced the polar opposite of what you're preaching, right? That's when conflict ensues. That's when people get hostile. We are to preach quorum deo. All of life is lived before the face of God under the authority of God and to the glory of God. At the same time, while this world is laboring, tooth and nail to suppress that truth and unrighteousness. We're gonna talk about that this morning in the service. This world is laboring, laboring. They have built up strong defenses. They have packed in concrete around the rebar, around the steel that they've reinforced a hard heart with. And so when you come in and you begin to chip away at that with the word of God, that's when hostility. That's when conflict ensues. If we wanna monkify our Christianity, so to speak, and hold ourselves into the four walls of this building, then we won't suffer any persecution, right? Who's gonna persecute us here, but the occasional stranger that walks in accidentally thinking this was a pharmacy? Or something, you know, it's like, what did I get myself into, right? No, we're not, we face persecution, we face conflict on hostility when we're engaging with the world, all right? There's a song that's quoted with respect to this on a regular basis, right? The world has an entirely opposite, polar opposite worldview, an entirely opposite perspective. And there's a song that's quoted on a regular basis that well illustrates that opposite worldview. And I imagine that's because it is just an absolute brazen rejection of God. Listen to the words. Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to, I'm on the Beatles lately, I watched a documentary on the Beatles the other day. That's the song of my mind. Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion to. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Now he's saying that is a good thing, right? That the people, as a result of this empty, bankrupt philosophy, people are gonna be living in peace. Oh, imagine how good it is where all the people are gonna be living for today, right? You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one. Now isn't that little piece of satanic deception interesting? And it's interesting, what a complete load of worldly garbage, right? Just garbage. But you think about that, we just read John chapter 17. And if you know the Lord's high priestly prayer in John chapter 17, the Lord is praying that we may be one as I am one in you and you are one in me, that they may become one in us, that we may be one together, right? Talking about our unity with the Lord Jesus Christ and being in unity with the Lord Jesus Christ, how we are one with the triune God as a result of faith in him, having been justified by God, forgiven of all our sin, right? That's the unity that God has intended for his people. One with himself, communion with God. So what then does Satan do? Satan counterfeits that, right? Satan introduces a sham, a counterfeit unity and he bases it upon this bankrupt, worldly absurd ideology that we see expressed in this song. All the people living for today, all the people living life and peace where the world will be as one. The Bible teaches that the only way we can be in one as one is through faith in Jesus Christ. The world believes that the only way in which we can live as one is if we get rid of him, right? So we are, if you think with me now about that, that song was written in the 70s, came out in the 70s, big hit, we are closer today to that imagined so-called utopia than ever before. Since that time, we've only come closer and closer to that stupid dream. Far from the utopia that John Lennon and all humanists like John Lennon imagine, their wicked ideology has unveiled what is a devilish nightmare. Has it not? That ideology, we can see before our own eyes that ideology, that worldly philosophy is a descent into hell, into chaos, into anarchy, into godlessness, into hell. We see people today living as if there's no God, don't we? And increasingly so, the farther we go, the more that we see people living as if there's no God. We see people living as if there's no heaven above or no hell beneath, as if there's no religion. The fast, by far, the fastest growing religious choice on applications today are the nuns. And that's not N-U-N-S, that's N-O-N-E-S. What is your religious preference? None. What is your religious affiliation? None, right? We've never been more irreligious in this country in our history ever. This world has never been more godless than it is today. So we are closer to this so-called utopia than we've ever been before. And are things getting better or worse? Obviously, right? We see people living for today. That's the way people are living today, right? And what has been the result of that godless, bankrupt, immoral, amoral ideology? What the result has been is greed, envy, covetousness, unchecked, unbounded sexual immorality, perversion, hate, division, discord, strife. Not only living for today, but living entirely for yourself, right? Entirely for yourself. And with it, increasing persecution, right? That's the world we're living in. That's where that theology gets you, right? And trust me, it's a theology, right? That's where that theology, that wicked ideology, that's where it gets you. It gets you, we can see the progression. We're in the middle of that progression and it's only getting worse. And the more that that, you know, what the humanist dreams of as a utopian world, they should be able to see for themselves too, right? That it's leading to abject wickedness. That's part of the sermon this morning in Romans chapter one, that they spend their time rejecting or suppressing that truth in their unrighteousness. Question. They wrote that in the 70s. Here we are, 2021. That thing's been on 40 years. They've been propagating that to our kids. I still plays on the radio today. That it's, like you said, it's so pathetic what's really going on. Since they took Bible out of school in 1961, this country has been going straight down the toilet and it's obvious to everyone who knows God can see it. Yeah, we'll see, we'll be getting next week where we're gonna talk about or call it the rise of the new religion, right? Humanism. Shouldn't we also, as Christians, strive to get our younger generation to move into politics to help to change this country around? Yeah, we're gonna talk about that. That's gonna be part of this course. That's a good question, very good question. Excellent question we're gonna get there. Yeah, and we'll talk about humanism next week and what some of today are calling the new religion. It's not really a new religion. It's a very old religion, but it's been more codified in the last 150 years or so and we'll notice how, we'll talk about how that has developed and how that has risen over the last century and get into that some. Okay. We've enjoyed a long time in this country to this point where we've had a limited persecution. We've enjoyed some peace where we've been able to preach the gospel, light, limited persecution, momentary light afflictions here and there, but much like the growing error or the growing corruption that took place within the professing church in Rome after the Edict of Milan, the modern day professing church now has grown fat and lazy and full of worldliness. I'm not talking about a church like this. I'm talking about a vast majority of what we would see as American evangelicalism. The problem with American Christianity is that it's American and not Christian. I know that's the issue. It's American, not Christian and the modern day professing church has just exemplified that sadly and so churches are very, I think very ill-prepared for what's coming and those lines that you see it even now in certain conflicts that take place within the church. Most recently, conflicts over social justice. Before that, conflicts related to homosexuality. They're still taking place. Most recently, conflicts related to whether you're gonna wear a mask in church or not, right, those kinds of things. So these conflicts have drawn the lines, I think more clearly with respect to the church and the modern day American evangelical church is ill-prepared for what's coming and I want us, we want our church to be well-prepared for what's coming. We need to cultivate, develop a sound biblical theology of public life. There will be a full frontal assault. It's already begun. It's already happening. There'll be a full frontal assault attempting to drive Christianity into deserts and caves and monasteries and convents and on top of poles within the four walls of the cathedral, so to speak. Many professing Christians will become and already are professing Christians. They will become modern day practicing monastics, unwilling to bring Christianity into the public square and face that conflict or hostility. Christianity will be fine to many as long as it stays within the four walls of this building or within the four walls of your home. But as soon as you bring it outside the four walls of your home or outside the four walls of this building, you're gonna face the wrath of a hostile, wicked and perverse culture and we need to be prepared to do that. We cannot monasticize our faith. We cannot sequester ourselves in our homes with our Christianity or in the four walls of this church with our Christianity, God is king over all. And God rules in the kingdoms of men and he gives it to whomever he wills. And under the lordship of Jesus Christ, we're to take the gospel to the world. We're not to hold up in this building, okay? With the modern church, it's a fear of man. It's unbelief, it's worldly compromise that has driven them indoors and we need to protect ourselves against those errors. Cannot live a Christian life like that. We cannot be a church that functions like that. We must inevitably face an increasing, more objectively defined persecution and we must prepare ourselves to take a stand even now. We do that by formulating a good sound biblical theology of public life. We need to have a clear, well-defined theology. We've talked about this before with how the Bible is laid out, how God reveals himself to us in his word. He does that through indicatives and imperatives, indicatives, statements or assertions of fact, what we believe, the imperatives, how we live in light of what we believe, what we are to do, the commands that he gives us. It's the same thing with the theology of public life. We'll formulate indicatives, all the whys that are related to a theology of public life and then we'll talk about how we are to live in accord with what we say we believe. Our objective with this series will be to simply begin with two aspects connected with the theology of public life and those two aspects very current today with respect to the Lord's church, but we're only gonna talk about two in the beginning. We'll expand on that I think as time goes by. But two to start, if you've got your outline, part one, we're going to consider the relationship of the church to the state and then in part two, we're going to unpack this world's bankrupt notion of social justice. Two really current hot topics fresh off the burner, fresh out of the oven for the church that we're gonna talk about over the next several multiple weeks together. Relationship of church to state and then this issue of social justice. Part one, we're entitling a Leviathan rising where we'll consider the relationship between the church and the state. Where that name came from, Leviathan rising, there was a 17th century political philosopher and he was a humanist, his name was Thomas Hobbes and Thomas Hobbes described the state as having ultimate power and the state having ultimate authority and that ultimate authority, that ultimate power reached into every aspect of your life. He called it favorably Leviathan, right? Had its tentacles in every aspect should have, would have its tentacles in every aspect of your life. So how you live, how you raise your children, how you educate your children, how you interact with your spouse, how you work, don't work on the job. Everything came under the control and the power of the state. It was from Thomas Hobbes bankrupt ideology that a divine right of kings was developed. We'll talk about what that is. And the state began to encroach on personal liberties. The state began to overflow the boundaries of its God-given authority and reaching into places where it ought not and it's called a Leviathan. So we, and there's also a book by Glenn Sunshine that I recommend to you called A Slaying Leviathan. That's really good, dealing with this issue of government. We're calling this Leviathan rising. Leviathan is rising. It is stretching out its tentacles into every aspect of your life. How is the Christian to respond? What are we to do about that? How are we to think about it? Romans chapter 13 verse one commands Christians to subject themselves to the governing authorities. Governments are appointed by God to bear the sword against evil doers. And so what then are Christians to do when the government becomes the evil doer? Are there biblical limits to governmental authority? Or are Christians simply to obey everything the government says whenever the government says it? How are we to understand that? And how are we to live under a government that itself has become the evil doer? In part one, Leviathan rising, will carefully consider the role of governments as instituted by God. We'll look at the extent of their authority. We're going to examine biblical texts, multiple texts in the New Testament that speak to our relationship to government, relationship to the state and the limits of state authority. And we're going to develop in the course of that, what's called a biblical theology of Christian resistance. Now, when is it right for a Christian to resist the command of the state? How is that resistance to be lived out? What does that look like? Do we have biblical authority for it, biblical justification for it? And how is that to be done? Part two, and we'll give you some more information on this in just a minute. Part two, we're entitling social injustice. Little play on words there. And we're going to take a biblical look at the ascendancy of what we are calling the new religion, what we're currently in. You notice that social justice is pursued with religious fervor in our day. There is a bankrupt morality that is represented by social justice. And we're going to talk about what that is and why that is so catchy in our day. Look at social injustice. And no other time in our history has secular humanism as a religious force achieved such an organized and cohesive identity as it has in our country at this particular time. It is a religion. It was a time when, if you remember, you had the humanistic manifesto one, humanistic manifesto two and three that came out. And there was this push on the part of humanists in competing, if you will, with Christianity. There was this push on the part of humanists to declare themselves a religion. And so they pursued that for a period of time before they realized that was not going to fit their, or suit their purpose as well. They pursued it as a religion with religious fervor that they wanted all the benefits of a religion, tax exempt status and support for humanism and the same kind of support that the government, quote unquote, gives to protected religious classes, including Christianity. They began to think to themselves though, if we do that, we can't get into the schools any longer. If we're counted as a religion, there needs to be a separation of church and state. And so they lose their influence in the schools, which right now humanism is the only religion that has any inroads into public schools. We're gonna talk about how the state has also encroached on education. So they quickly abandoned their efforts to have that qualified as a religion, but humanism is a religion. We'll talk about why. Secular humanism has weaponized the state. The state is it's a governmental or authoritarian arm. And we'll talk about next week how that is, why that is. Secular humanism has an organized morality. It is not the morality of the Bible. Obviously it is a satanic and deceptive counterfeit. We'll look at that as compared with biblical morality. Secular humanism has an organized mission. We'll talk about that. Secular humanism dominates politics, education, healthcare, government, media. Secular humanism dominates and has weaponized all of those spheres. Secular humanism with all that authority and with all that power is encroaching in dramatic ways upon the church. And Christians need to be prepared to take a stand against that. And it's encroached in significant ways upon the family. And so we'll look at what the Bible has to say about our responsibilities in the church and in the family and how we are to stand against that. Ms. Gina. Respect to the doctrine of lesser magistrates. Yeah, we're actually gonna talk about lesser magistrates in detail. A matter of fact, hold that question for just a second. We're gonna briefly go through the outline and I'll show you where that's gonna fit in and why and we'll explain a little bit about what the doctrine of lesser magistrates is, so. In both parts of this study, what we're gonna endeavor to do is to apply biblical truth to our circumstances, right? And how we are to live. Schaefer asked that question. How then should we live? How then should we live? We want to look at that from the Bible. Lessons for a lot in the city of Sodom. It does no good for us to sort of put our face over, our hands over our face or put our head in the sand and sort of pretend we've got it really good in here. Like really, really good. It is really sweet. This is an oasis. It's an outpost of heaven, right? And, but we can't, we can't monasticize our faith. We need to leave from here with the truth and go to our world with the gospel and preach the gospel to this lost world. And that includes engaging the culture, engaging the government, engaging our world, okay? And we need to inform our consciousness so that with Luther, we can say here I stand, I can do no other, right? When the persecution comes, here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Okay, let me give you a brief outline of the, or an expanded outline, if you will. If you look at your handout, you see the course outline on the front page there. I'll expand on each of those topics for us briefly here so you know exactly what this is gonna entail over the next multiple weeks and months. And I wanna be able to answer questions. So if you've got questions, let me know. First, under part one, Leviathan Rising, the authoritarianism of the new religion. Humanism has commandeered government, has seized control of the state, so to speak, and has weaponized the state for its own ends and purposes. And we'll talk about what that looks like and why. We'll talk about under the rise of the new religion, point A there, humanism and its precepts, historical development of humanism. What is being viewed as a recent American revolution against Christianity and for humanism. How it's displayed in our day, the weapons of its tyranny. That's what it is, is tyranny, government and politics, school, media, economics. And we'll look at the new code, its new code of morality, which is social justice, virtue, signaling, cancel, culture, critical race theory. We'll look at all of that. Secondly, the tentacles of tyranny. Christians have lost sight of the biblical weights and measures by which we are to evaluate the limits of government. In years past, centuries past, this was something the church was very adept at. They understood these things. Why? Because they lived in a time period where they were suffering persecution from the state on a regular basis. Maybe you're like me, you're used to hearing someone say, you know, Romans chapter 13, we're to obey the governing authorities. And we obey Romans 13, we're to obey the Lord, amen. But they'll say, and that text was written under Nero, one of the most heinous Roman emperors of all time. And by saying that, what is meant is that, and Christians are to obey Nero no matter what, that's what's implied, but they forget, they forget that Christians by the thousands were being killed for Christian resistance to Nero and the Roman Empire. Why was it that Christians were being thrown to the lions in the Coliseum or impaled and burned as tar-pitched candles on Nero's roads? Why was that the case? It's because Christians had a developed theology of Christian resistance to tyranny. And there's a reason for that. We're gonna talk about why that reason is. And some people come to that with sort of presuppositions about Romans 13, point C there on your notes, writing wrongs from Romans. We're gonna break down Romans 13. Probably take a couple of weeks to do that and take very careful, a very careful look at exactly what Romans 13 is saying and asserting and how we apply that to the Christian life. And I think we'll be able to come to a common conclusions about that. They're gonna be very, very helpful. Sphere sovereignty, D on your notes. What is sovereignty? What is absolute sovereignty? Who has absolute sovereignty? One alone has absolute sovereignty. There are then spheres of delegated authority from our absolute sovereign. And those include family, godly offspring, the raising, health, the welfare, the education, the discipleship of our children. Sphere of delegated authority is given to the church. And a sphere of delegated authority is given to the civil government. But there is a proper function of state sovereignty. We're gonna talk about that. That's to be under the authority of God. Kings are not a law to themselves. Samuel Rutherford wrote a book that we're gonna talk about Lex Rex and really, really helpful and how the king is not a law unto himself, but the king himself is under the law. And we'll talk about how that impacts us as well. E, historical development of church-state relationships. We're gonna see how this theology is developed over time from Augustine and the city of God to through the divine right of kings, Luther and Luther's two kingdoms theology, and then to English particular Baptist where our heritage comes from and liberty of conscience. We'll talk about where inalienable rights come from and why that's mentioned in our Declaration of Independence. We'll talk about John Locke, our form of government here. We'll talk about the American Revolution a little bit. I think it's gonna be really helpful, the historical development of church-state relations. Next, we'll talk about Lex Rex, the law and the king. We already mentioned that. G, Vindicae contra tyrannous, defense against tyrants. That's another book that written exceedingly helpful book regarding Christian resistance. We're gonna talk about that. And then we'll look at the biblical basis for Christian resistance and we'll examine all of the biblical texts or the pertinent, the material biblical texts that have to do with the Christian resistance. And then we'll look at lastly in this section, part one, practical lessons for lot. I remember reading here not recently, one speaking of the restrictions that they instituted on the church in California. One pastor wrote, I'd rather sing and die than live and not sing. I like that, right? I think that's a good, healthy attitude for a Christian to have. I'd rather sing and die than live and not sing. Doctrine of Christian resistance, a doctrine of Christian engagement, recovering the nature and function of the kingdom of God on this planet, how that works fits together with the kingdoms of men here. And then practical issues. The genus question a minute ago, we'll deal with the doctrine of the lesser magistrate. Luther, we'll talk about this more as we go. Luther originally sort of against a theology of Christian resistance, but himself in hiding from the government under the protection of Frederick in Germany. And then talking to his peers came to the conclusion that his theology was wrong and that Christians are to resist tyranny. And why, you know, he developed a theology. And so Luther, other reformers at the time, developed a doctrine from the Bible called the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate. And there are problems with that doctrine in the sense that, and you can see it in the way that Luther, other reformers, applied their theology to civil life at that time. There's a problem with that theology in the sense that it necessitates or involves governmental involvement in enforcing the inalienable rights given to us by God where we can't exactly count on government to help us enforce that. And so from the Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates and Luther's theology of public life arose others after him that developed this more clearly, I think, from the Bible and chiefly among those is Abraham Kuiper, the Dutch theologian who wrote an article on Sphere Sovereignty, we'll talk about. But I think the Doctrine of Christian Resistance or a doctrine of civil engagement on the part of the Christian has been developed beyond Luther and has developed beyond his Doctrine of Lesser Magistrates. There is some reason to include lesser government. So in other words, what this sort of deals with is if the federal government is doing evil, then you appeal to the state government to help take a stand against federal evil. If the state government is involved in state evil, then you take a stand with your local government against state evil and federal evil, right? You see how this sort of trickles down. It's a doctrine of lesser magistrates. But we're gonna talk about a better way maybe to look at that and I think it'll be helpful to you when we get there. Okay, that answer your question, Ms. Gina? Somewhat, okay, we'll talk more or if you have questions we can talk after. In a part two then, we'll wrap this up. Part two, a social injustice. We'll talk about then theology or the bankrupt morality of the new religion. The morality of the new religion, which is universal equality, universal autonomy. And that is, we'll talk about why that is. But the morality of secular humanism is universal autonomy, the autonomy of man that expresses itself in universal equality, which we see all over the place nowadays as social justice. And this is so pertinent to us because social justice is just invaded the professing church. It is staggering to me, like amazing to me, how many otherwise godly men or otherwise like respectable churches have been given over to this bankrupt ideology and how quickly, like it is just like a blitzkrieg through the professing church today. We're gonna talk about that and look at that biblically. The magisterium of the new religion, which the magisterium of the new religion is the state. And we'll talk about that. The sacraments of the new religion, race, abortion, homosexuality, social justice. The mission of the new religion is social justice, right? This universal equality. And that is what they go into all the world to preach to every creature, universal equality. And then practical lessons for lot in the city of Sodom will end that. Old wisdom applied to the new religion. Okay, what questions do you have? Briefly, we've got some time for a couple. Sorry to ramble on like that the entire hour, but I did wanna give you a good introduction of what we're gonna be doing over the next few months together. Any questions, thoughts? Yes, sir. When you were mentioning before about the persecution that comes, I know I've heard in England right now, if you speak out and somebody says that offends me, you know, you could be arrested or actually fined for that. And a lot of street preachers have had to deal with that. Yeah. Yeah, we had a pastor that visited our church. I don't know if you guys met him. Steve, I'm trying to remember his last name now, visited our church from a church up north. And many of you have heard the name Tony Miano. Tony Miano attends his church up there. Well, he was down here on vacation visiting, visited our church. And Tony Miano's been arrested multiple times. And if I remember the account correctly, he's been arrested in the United States. He's been arrested in Canada, been arrested in the UK. And he was standing on a corner preaching in the UK and reading the Bible and reading from 1 Corinthians chapter six, someone said, you know, can you read that again? And it's the text that specifically mentions homosexuality. He reads the text and is arrested. So that's happening more frequently. And there are loud voices calling for that here and terming it hate speech, that not all speech is protected speech. And so if, you know, we're not to be naive in things that can't take place here, it's happening increasingly. I mean, you just saw in the last month or so James Coates being arrested in Canada for taking a stand against government encroachment. So these things are coming. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. So what other questions? Last question or two if you have one? Okay, I really pray this study is gonna be helpful. I think you'll, as we get into some of these subjects, you'll realize how helpful we really break down Romans 13. We talk about sphere sovereignty. I think these things are gonna be really helpful. And then as we talk about what we're going to do, Francis Schaefer in his book, a Christian manifesto, Christian manifesto written really in response to humanism manifesto. Schaefer talks about a bottom line and how in terms of Christian resistance, we're to flee persecution, where we can't flee, we defend against or resist persecution and where there is no fleeing, where there is no defense, there's the use of force to defend, right? And Schaefer talks about a bottom line for Christians and thinking through a theology of public life, sort of situational awareness. I was talking to Justin not long ago about situational awareness, as a police officer, you think about the situation that you can put yourself in. And if I find myself in that situation, what will I do? Situational awareness, we as Christians need to have some situational awareness. If I find myself in these kinds of circumstances, what is it that I'm going to do? And how should we then live? Let's pray and get you out of here. We'll talk, if you have questions, please feel free to see me after service today and we can talk more about it. Father in heaven, thank you Lord for the clear instruction that your word gives. Just so grateful Lord, and I wonder at it again at how thorough, how clear, how far reaching, comprehensive your word is, how it applies to life and every area, every aspect of our lives, very grateful for that. Help us Lord to think through this clearly, biblically, faithfully, and may we develop a theology of public life that is honoring to you, faithful to your word. And Lord, may we have the strength supplied by your spirit to live according to what your word says. And may we be faithful to you at this time. The torch has been passed to us and we will soon pass it along to those that come after us. But during this time in which we hold the torch Lord, I pray we'd be faithful with it. We love you, we thank you. Be with us now as we worship you during the morning service. And may the saints be edified, may Christ be magnified, in Jesus' name, amen.

In five games, the Royalton Royals are undefeated and have only given up 14 points. Our Taylor Archer went to practice today to find out how they stay driven. It's homecoming weekend for Royalton, and this team is locked in for Friday night. We watch film. We make sure we know the other teams play as what their tendencies are so we can come off the ball faster and win that play. Royalton is 5-0 with three games left in the regular season, but their main goal is to not settle. Every week is a new week, and each opponent is different, and we game plan for everyone and go hard each week. This year we implemented what we call the process, and the kids have really bought into that. The process says that each week we have certain things that we have to do. For example, last week we didn't do the greatest and third downs, so the kids on Monday morning wanted to see the metrics, and all those nice sheet I put together, and right away they see red on third down. And what do they say? Coach, we got to work on third down. The Royals are excited for the challenge of taking on conference rival Uppsala Swanville. Big rivalry, we need as much support as we can get, and it's just that much more motivation to win. Came in and worked hard every single day, and just taken one game at a time. When our lose this weekend, the Royals will not surrender their work ethic. We have two wing backs on either side of the ball. They're not worried about their own stats, they're worried about getting the other guy the stats, which means they have to block well. They're really, really hard working blue collar kids. In Royalton, Taylor Archer, Lakeland News.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. And the foundation of this beautiful center is not visible. You cannot see the beauty of the foundation, that is what I need to say. But what you see is the beauty of the structure. You see the beautiful columns, you see the beautiful ceiling, you see the beautiful flooring, everything. That is visible. Similarly to worship we do, because it is the foundation, the salah, the halj, the zakah, the fasting. It is not visible, the beauty of it is not seen, because it is hidden. What is seen? The most perfect in regards to the faith amongst the believers are those with characterism whose akhlaq are good. And these akhlaq are visible. If your worship is weak, it can be hidden. But if our akhlaq are weak, they are visible, intolerant, impatient. All these things become visible in the eyes of people. That is why you are a prophet of Allah. What is the best iman a person can have? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you have good akhlaq and your iman will become complete, the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I want to become the best of the human beings, or prophet of Allah, if a person comes to prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or prophet of Allah, I want to be the best of the human beings. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't tell him pray sallah, the course of behavior sallah, is of behavior upon all of us. He didn't tell him to pray extra optional sallah. He didn't tell him to recite extra Quran or do hajj after hajj or umrah after umrah. But Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you do the khidmah of the people. You serve the people and you become, you will become the best among the human beings. There is one prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Islam al muslim, al sallim al muslim, al sallim al sallim al yasir, al bayadeem. O qanabah, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in muslim, I hear iman, I hear Islam, I hear the word of Allah. Which Islam is the best for prophet of Allah? Isha'abi comes and asks Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which Islam is the best? Again, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not tell him sallah, hajjj, Quran, recitation, figure of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Which Islam is the best for prophet of Allah? Al muslim, al sallim al muslim, al bayadeem, al sallim al yasir al bayadeem. That person's Islam is best from whose town they are, from whose town they are, other muslims, from his son and his hands, other muslims are safe. And the scholars say Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the same in Badir al-Mudabbar. Only muslims are living over there. What it implies is muslims or non-muslims. Because non-muslims are our human brothers. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam implied both. A muslim is the one from whose town muslims and his or her non-muslim brothers are safe from his or her tongue and their hands. And then it came to which Iman is the best for prophet of Allah. How does Iman get complete? The faith gets complete for prophet of Allah. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said you complete your akhlaq. You have good akhlaq. You have good character. Your Iman will be complete at prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Akhlaq brings beauty to our life as a business. Well, status, position. The beauty of the house which I believe is in mansions. Do not bring beauty to our homes like would akhlaq bring the beauty to our homes. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a man cannot suffice a human being, cannot suffice other human beings with his or her wealth. You will not be able to suffice, satisfy all the human beings or any amount of human beings you want to. But you can suffice them with good akhlaq and good character. Good akhlaq Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Good akhlaq melt your sins like the sun melts the ice. Like the sun melts the ice. There is hope. Good akhlaq. There is one prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying person who has good akhlaq, who has good manners, good conduct, good behavior. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah Azza wa Jalla will give him that position third of the sun in your body. Allah will give him or her that position as the one who prays all night long from the time they mature till they die. And they fasted all their lives to the time they mature till they die. Who can do that with respect to the Muslims? It is humanly impossible. But Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is willing to give that status, those rewards, these rewards which cannot be accomplished by immense amount, abundant amount of worship. But Allah is giving him with good akhlaq and good character. Ma min shay'in atfaloo fi mizami al-muqmi in yawm al-qiyyay'a wa min khustin khulam. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Nothing weighs heavier on the scales of the day of judgment. Nothing weighs heavier on the scales of judgment, on the day of judgment on your scales. Then your good akhlaq and good character. Nothing weighs heavier. Why? Because something that is scarce, something that is rare, the price goes up, the price goes up. Extremely hard to find people. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, The sahabah, these virtues are good akhlaq from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And one of the A'am talks, The sahabah, Abu Huraira Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said, Ya Rasulullah, man hussn al-akhlaq. What are good akhlaq or Prophets of Allah? Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Three things. Siddil man qadakak wa'afu anhu min daliman, wa a'afu sallam al-masafah dilayna. Jointize with those who break away from you, do good to those who do bad to you and forgive those who are unjust to you. Jointize with those who break away from you, do good to those who do bad to you and forgive those who are unjust to you. Easier said than done. If these come into my life, my life will become parents on this earth. If these come into your lives, your life will become parents on this earth. Our children, our parents, our spouses. Umm-i-habibah al-rubi Allah wa-alhamd. Mother of the widows, wife of Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. She was married and her husband died. She was widowed. After some time, Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam proposed her and married her. And after some time, she asks in the liberties of the life of Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. O Prophets of Allah, if a woman marries her husband die, Allah will make him enter paradise. And she marries another man after that. He dies. Allah will make him enter paradise. She dies. Allah will make her enter paradise. Whose husband will she be in paradise if Allah makes her enter paradise? Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, she will be the wife of that husband whose akhlaq were good in this world. O Umm-i-habibah, good akhlaq bring nothing but khayr and good. Good akhlaq bring nothing but khayr and good, said Prophets of Allah. Al-asin-i-malik wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Who served Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for ten years in the name of Allah. He says, a man with good akhlaq, it can take him or her to the highest abode in paradise, Jannat-ul-Firdous, even though he may be a person of not-abundant worship. He may not be a person of much worship at all. But his or her good akhlaq will take him or her to Jannat-ul-Firdous. And he said, a person with bad akhlaq, a person with bad akhlaq and character, even though he may be a person of abundant worship, can put him to the lowest peak of the fire. Jannat-ul-Firdous, he says, four things, four things, take a person to the highest abode in paradise. Parents, many patients in the top, many tolerance in the face of provocation. And patients in the face of provocation. In other words, somebody comes and curses us and says anything, slanders us, curses us, abuses us, verbally. He tells them, brothers, say salam to you, say, how is it doing? The next day he said, I can't do that. I don't want to see space. I don't want to talk to you. But if you tell the same person, can you pay the haljit all night, is it not a problem? I can fast, I can pay the haljit all night. I can read Quran, but I cannot talk to them personally, not with respect to these people. Patients in the face of provocation. Tolerance in patients in the face of provocation. He brought me another matter to light. One of the great pious persons, as he was ailed to the throne of Al-Bali-Sama, he left everything in search and recognition of Allah, his walking. And a soldier comes on a horse and he says, are you a slave? He says, yes. He says, be very to inhabited place, country. He says, I'll leave the world there. And he points to the cemetery. And the soldier says, don't joke with me, I'm asking you where do you live? He says, I'll leave right there in the cemetery. Then the soldier becomes really angry and he hits him with the base of his sword, really hard on his head. Ibrahim bin Adam ran to the light, falls out unconscious. The soldier picks him up, puts him on his horse, brings him to the town. The people surround him, Ibrahim bin Adam, what happened to him? The soldier says, this is Ibrahim bin Adam? What did he do to him? He kisses his feet, kisses him by the time he has gained consciousness. He says, please forgive me. Ibrahim bin Adam, Ibrahim bin Adam says, the moment you hit me with the base of the sword on my head, I said, oh Allah, make him enter paradise. The people said, he did injustice to you. He called you a slave and hit you. He did injustice to you. He says, yes, he called me a slave and he asked me who slave I was. I'm a slave of Allah. And the reason I made the dua for him is because I didn't want any good to come from his evil to me. I didn't want any good from Allah to come from his evil to me. I wanted the good to come from my patience and forbearance from Allah. Ibrahim bin Adam is walking in the streets of Aldaad, the woman comes and says, you're a hypocrite. And his smile says, nobody recognized me as well as you did. Ibrahim bin Adam, the man comes and slanders and kisses him. He scolds him verbally, everything left and right. And he says, if my virtues are less on the scales of judgment, I'm worse than what you're saying. But if my virtues are heavier, then what you're saying is not going to harm me. Abu Bakr, Rabi'Allah, a man comes and says, saying, he says, Abu Bakr, he says, what Allah has hidden of my faults from you are worse than what you're doing. Or more heinous than what you're telling me and accusing me of. Shabirah and Allah is walking. The person comes and says, this, that, this. He says, if what you're saying is true, may Allah forgive me. And if what you're saying is lies, may Allah forgive you. How did these people reach the status of the distance? A state of equilibrium, not just outside but inside the hearts or clean of any hatred, malice, rancor, arrogance. Allah, may Allah forgive me. There is a small eye and there is a big eye. Rasulullah, may Allah forgive me. Oh Allah, make me small in the eyes of the people and make me big in your eyes of Allah's power. I said, I said, I said, respect your listeners. We are weak in worship. We are weak in the reception of the Quran in doing thicker and your optional salats. But let us make this resolution today that I am going to make my house a paradise. One sweet word, respect your listeners. One sweet word in our homes or our children or in our houses can save generations. One bitter word from this tongue. One bitter word from this tongue can destroy generations. That is how serious, significant, important the death of the words that come from our tongue. One bitter word can poison the oceans. That is how poisonous it can be. One sweet word, oceans filled with honey cannot compete in the sweetness that comes. Words can be magical. That is why shaitan, subhanAllah, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said What time is it? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said shaitan has his own code. His throne is on the water. Allah shayateen come and report to him of the fitna they have strain on the earth. One comes and says I made this person miss Salah. Another one comes and says I made this person stop going to the masjid and he says good, good, good. I made him lie. I made him cheat. Good, good, good. One shaitan comes and says today I went to a home. There was a husband and wife living. There was a lot of love between them. But I created fitna between them. I made them argue with each other. I made them fight with each other. I made them separate. This shaitan jumps up from his throne and he says brahu excellent, what a great job you have done. Like he said you are the man. He said you are the shaitan. Why? Because when a person dreams it's against his own thing. It's between him and Allah. Even if a person is committing adultery and fornication. It's between him and Allah. Then my Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said I'll leave you asad to be in a sinan. That body is worse than committing adultery and fornication. Why? Because it's between your wife and the rights of a fellow human being. For which the court of Allah is tough. Allah did not forgive us until the other people forgive us. Allah did not forgive us. But when a person has broken a family split upon a husband and a wife he is not only the shaitan has not only split upon a husband and wife that family, those kids in the family the generation that is affected and that is where the shaitan comes and he becomes so happy. Let us build this up to rely on Jesus. Sayyidina Khattabah Wa'afu anman ta'amah Wa'ahsayun ilaamika sa'ali Join the guys with those break away from you. Do good to those who go back to you. Forgive those who are unjust to us. Then you will see how our life becomes Allah will give us the sweetness of Iman. Allah will give us the sweetness of living our lives. The sweetness that we come in our relationships with our children with our spouses our neighbors our communities even though even though Allah praises him in the Qur'an Wa dihmat ala ala'hul al-finali O Prophet of Allah you are a tremendous character. People saw the miracles people saw him spraying the moon but they did not accept Islam. They saw angels they saw the angels in the battle they did not accept Islam. They heard the most beautiful reception of the Qur'an they did not accept Islam. They saw 10,000 soldiers marching to Makkah with Rasulullah fully armed did not accept Islam. But when they saw the akhlaa Rasulullah said Allah akhlaa When they saw his akhlaa they came in tens and thousands in terms of Islam. May Allah beautify our lives

School of Resistance Episode 15 Queer Utopia with NTGent on Friday 25 June 2021
|
NTGent presented School of Resistance, Episode Fifteen: Queer Utopia livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Friday 25 June 2021 at 20:00 CEST (Brussels, Cairo, UTC +2) / 19:00 BST (London, UTC +1) / 2 p.m. EDT (New York, Santiago de Chile, UTC -4) / 11 a.m. PDT (Los Angeles, UTC -7).
Driven by a widespread nationalist movement and a strong religious presence, the LGBTQI community has become the new top enemy of the Polish authorities. The queer community living in the country finds itself confronted with but three choices: to keep their heads down, to leave the country or to fight back.
The fifteenth episode of School of Resistance, created in the context of the Polish Malta Festival 2021 in Poznan, will bring together several people who center their work around queer liberation. Together with the philosopher Helen Hester and author of the book Xenofeminism, the Polish drag performer and political activist Maciej “Gąsiu” Gosniowski will talk about LGBTQI rights and the artistic potential of transforming desire and gender.
Helen Hester is Professor of Gender, Technology and Cultural Politics at the University of West London. Her research interests include technofeminism, social reproduction, and theories of work, and she is the author of Xenofeminism (Polity: 2018) and Beyond Explicit: Pornography and the Displacement of Sex (SUNY: 2014).
Maciej “Gąsiu” Gośniowski is a graduate of the National Theater School in Krakow. He directed the show Borderline Queen. Kerstas at the National Theater in Vilnius, and Patriarchy Queen in cooperation with the Komuna // Warszawa theater. His work is inspired by the art of trashu and breaks the stereotypical perception of gender, especially masculinity. He describes himself with the phrase "masculine enough to be queer".
The School of Resistance is a discourse format with experts on change from around the world: artists, activists, politicians and philosophers.
On 20 April 2020, the price of oil fell below zero for the first time in history. It was not the only world record caused by Covid-19. In only a few months a malicious virus succeeded in doing what worldwide protest marches and general strikes could not: slowing down our planet. Correction: slowing down all human activities on this planet. Suddenly we as a society remember the importance of “economy” as a way to support life and not to make profit at any price.
But how can we shape the future of our planet without falling back into old, destructive patterns? In order to solve the problems we face today and to find valuable alternatives for the future, the School of Resistance creates a platform of experts on change around the world: artists, activists, politicians and philosophers. The IIPM continues together with NTGent its work on the contradictions of the global economy: using the means of activism and art, the aim is to create a blueprint for a politics of resistance. The debate series consists of a monthly livestream and will be concluded with an event in February 2021 at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin.
A project of IIPM and NTGent, in cooperation with Akademie der Künste, HowlRound Theatre Commons, medico international, Merve Verlag, European Alternatives and funded by Kulturstiftung des Bundes.

country finds itself confronted with but three choices to keep their heads down, to leave the country, or to fight back. The 15th episode of School of Resistance, created in the context of the Polish Malta Festival 2021 in Poznań, will bring together several people who center their work around queer liberation. Together with the philosopher Helene Hester and author of the book Zinofeminism, the Polish drag performer and political activist Maciej Gaszew-Gosniowski will talk about LGBTQI rights and the artistic potential of transforming desire and gender. And my name is Kasia Wojcik and I'm very happy to introduce you to our guests today. I will briefly read the biographies of the guests to you and then we will enter into the conversation. Thank you first of all for being here, very happy about that. Helen Hester is a professor of gender technology and cultural politics at the University of West London. Her research interests include techno feminism, social reproduction and theories of work and she's the author of Zinofeminism and beyond explicit pornography and the displacement of sex. Thank you Helen for being here. Thank you so much for having me, it's such a pleasure looking forward to it. And then I introduce to you Maciej Gaszew-Gosniowski, who is a graduate of the National Theatre School in Kraków. He directed the show Borderline Queen, Kerstas at the National Theatre in Vilnius and Patriarch Queen in cooperation with the Komuna Warszawa Theatre. His work is inspired by the art of trashu and breaks the stereotypical perception of gender, especially masculinity. He describes himself with the phrase masculine enough to be queer. First of all, we have another guest today and this is Himera and maybe Himera, you can just briefly introduce yourself to the audience, who you are and then we can enter the conversation. Absolutely, so thank you very much for having me. I'm Haimira and drag queen originally coming from Ukraine, but now living in Poland, where I've met Konczu and we had a pleasure to do a few of the activist engagements together as well as create a lively and colorful drag scene here in Warsaw, Poland. Perfect. Okay, before we start this conversation, I quickly want to remind the audience of the possibility to engage in the conversation by asking questions. And for everyone who's watching this live, you are welcome to send us your questions by emailing to schoolofresistanceatantygens.be or by commenting on the live stream on the Facebook pages of Antigant or IAPM. Okay, first of all, I would like to start off the conversation with a very actual situation that is happening right now. In Hungary, Viktor Orbán's nationalist government, which is also allied with Poland's governing law and justice, the peace party, has introduced a new law banning the display and promotion of homosexuality among under 18s. And this came into a very prominent situation right now because the city of Munich wanted to light up its sports stadium and rainbow colors on Wednesday as Germany's national team took on Hungary and the European Soccer Championship. It would be a show of support for LGBTQI people, but the UEFA rejected the request by the Munich City Council. And Gashu and Himera, first of all, how did you experience the situation? How was that for you? And also, how is the law that is now being introduced in Hungary is affecting also maybe the situation in Poland? Of course, it affects a lot because we are worried that the same rule will happen here. So, yes, we are scared. And a few actions actually happened in front of the embassy. So, yes, what I can say more, we are really worried that the same rule will happen here in Poland, but we are still fighting, so let's see. The thing is that being a neighbor to a country who shares a lot of similar ideas than Polish culture and Polish government entertains as well is just as alarming as being in Poland and not technically affected by Hungarian law, but definitely feeling the pressure of that neighbor that tends to have some support here in Poland as well, at least from the third eye perspective, is definitely worrying. And the goal is to make sure that this thing doesn't happen. I actually recently spoke to a friend who gave me a bit more information about what actually happened in Hungary and I was like, well, that would never happen in Poland. He was like, really? Yes, exactly. Are you sure? Why not? I'm like, well, really, why not? Let me like, I try to translate, there is one sentence, I will like speak in Polish English because sometimes I need to just ask a question. Proverb. There is one like proverb, proverb. Let's try to translate it. Polish, Hungarian, one brothers? Well, I think it's two brothers. You know what I mean? Polish, Hungarian, two brothers. So, and like, you can feel it that our government is kind of like proud that it's happened there. And I'm really worried that they'll try to copy it here. And it's already been happening on some levels when sex education was being introduced to Polish schools. A lot of people and the government itself was very much against it and at the end prohibited it. Am I right? Yes. So when you think that Polish being a part of EU and from my perspective being Ukrainian, going to a better place that is Poland trying to have a better life here and seeing the such things happening does not give much hope because you feel like the whole Western world is following best practices of sex education and the importance of it amongst youngsters while Polish government completely abandons it. So one may just question what direction this may go further being that Hungary did take it a few steps further. Thank you for also sharing your worry. And first, we are in Pride Month now. So I want to go maybe also into the more hopeful question of how are you celebrating Pride right now in Poland? And what are your actions right now? And how are visible are you? And what is your support maybe also from others? There is like, I will say that there is many, many reasons to celebrate the Pride. Every single person walking in the march is a reason to celebrate the Pride. You know what I mean? Every single queer person is a reason to celebrate the Pride. So yes, we are celebrating as much as we can. We are celebrating. Of course, we had the like big equality parade here in Warsaw. In actual, it was really big. I didn't expect that it will be that big, but it was huge. Specifically during the pandemic. Specifically during the pandemic. And now like in a few days, they will be in Poznań than in Łódź. I think I'm not sure because I don't know the calendar, but in a few places in Poland, there will be like some marches. This is the word, yes, marches, equality marches. So yes, we are celebrating it and we are trying to talk about it. And very helpful, I will say that very helpful is the internet because we can celebrate the Pride via internet, via internet online on social media. There's many, many, many actions going on around the Poland, which can like invite all queer people from around the Poland. And my question is also how safe are you feeling when you celebrate Pride and what measures do you have to take? Because of course, I'm Polish from my background and I also notice, of course, the extreme right-wing demonstrations that are happening and how are these situations when you celebrate Pride? How is this safety-wise and how do you feel? I will tell you that maybe I'm not as brave as Jaime Rice. For example, to go to the Pride, I'm taking a taxi. Me too. I'm not sure that I will be brave enough to take a bus, for example. Public transportation. Or any public transportation, yes. You know what I mean? And this simple example can show that we are not feeling very comfortable with this situation. You know what I mean? I mean, from a perspective of different countries like Germany or Austria, what I've been to a few parades, everybody's colorful there. Everybody's working on streets. And it seems like they are way more confident than us here in Poland because while there is a Pride month, we have Pride, we have parades. People are out there. They are out there in groups. It's even being recommended to being groups, to avoid being alone because there simply are a lot of chances of being attacked. Worse so, I feel like it's a bubble within the bubble, a country within the country because here it's a bit different here. People are more open. It's like an island. Yes, it's like an island that has its own rules and it lives by its own life. And that what makes it better because, for example, Gonshu mentioned earlier that I might be a bit braver than him, which I disagree, but my bravery very often comes in line with stupidity as well. And naive thinking that, you know, I mean, I can walk on streets in whatever way I want to and whatever I look like and not worry about anything. But it's also not the thinking that probably everybody share here in Poland, because a lot of people would not go out dressed up in heels or wearing lipstick or whatever. But I always say one thing. I may look like a drag queen and I may even look like a woman. But at the end of the day, I'm a man with a heel that can be a very powerful weapon. So I always cheer myself up with that thinking. Nonetheless, it's probably a bit irresponsible to be walking outside by yourself in some queer costumes and some queer looks. And so we spoke about what is happening in Hungary. We spoke about pride. But what is the current situation for the LGBTQI community in Poland right now? Could you explain to our audience what is it about the LGBTQI free zones? What is this concept? Where is this going? And could you like maybe give us an introduction to what's the situation? Because of Bartek Staszewski's actions that he showed this LGBTQI free zones. This is how it's called. He showed it. He created a sign. It's like wonderful action seriously. It's wonderful action. You can find it on the internet. And now he's one of the most famous activists I think in Europe actually. Because of his action, Europe seen that such a thing happened. And these small governments, I have to say that there's someone on there. Yeah, city governments, city councils. Like city government governments start to cancel it. You know what I mean? They start to say that we didn't happen. We haven't done such a thing. You know what I mean? So where does that idea and law of LGBTQI free zones come from? Where does it come from? Where it starts? I have no idea how it started. I cannot tell you the beginning of this action. What I believe is that the overall government. I will start it from the church actually. Like seriously. Sorry. I'm not sure. But what I believe is that the government introduced the idea of maintaining family values and making sure that the family values are maintained throughout the history and throughout the overall process of life. And what was a part of that idea of maintaining family values was that family consists of a man and a woman and a child that they can conceive, which two men cannot do. Where those LGBT free zones come from is one thing, but it's also a threat. It seems like a Polish government trying to very much divide the society into two opposite spectrums. And the common enemy is supposed to be the LGBT community because the rhetoric is that it's a Western influence that is trying to take over Poland and change the historic values and the Christianity and all of it. So it's a threat. And now having one common threat for different groups of society is a very good strategy for politics. It's a very bad strategy for society, which seems to be what is happening here. And so when the LGBT free zones were introduced, a lot of those small city councils and city governments took over that idea of supporting it in the spirit of supporting family values. And so it wasn't a technical law. It wasn't a technical law. It was the idea, the kind of symbol, kind of symbol that government chooses to support. Now Bartek was able to visualize how would it look like if it was, in fact, a law? What would it look like? By printing out or actually making a metal template of LGBT free zones under the names of cities and villages that accepted that idea. And so he made a huge action of taking pictures of the names of these cities and villages with that LGBT free zone next to it just to visualize what it would look like if it became, in fact, a reality. And so the backfire was that the European nations noticed the law, not the law, but the idea and the way that it's going and the direction it's following and got a very much alarm, which resulted in withdrawal of some European funds from some city councils and capitals, which was very funny to me to observe that the minute the European funds were withdrawn from these cities and governments, these cities, like Gonstiou said, governments reacted saying that, oh no, we're all in for the LGBT, we support, we love, we love LGBT, get us some LGBT here. So the reason is that the minute you lose money, you become a supporter of whatever brings the money back, which did not happen. To my knowledge, the European government, European nations did not continue to invest into these small cities. What did happen, though, is that the Polish government started to support the cities which used this symbol, which used this LGBT free zone. They compensated for the withdrawal of funds of the UN in EU nations by bringing funds from the country's capital and actually doubling it in some cases. So it was very sad to see that people have some of their values, even though they are wrong, they just are about as easy to change their values as they are able to change their money source. Because I just said that it's happened because of the Church. I mean, I will say that in Poland, we have our own Catholic Church, then in Vatican, you know what I mean? We're totally different. Even if the Polish Catholic Church belongs to Vatican, they are really in a totally different way of thinking. And for example, in church they are saying, and it happened two years ago, actually the whole action happened two years ago. And two years ago, Art Bishops said, in one of the biggest churches in Poland, he said that we are facing the rainbow disease. He called it the rainbow disease. And that Polish society had to fight against the rainbow disease. It happened two years ago. And from that point, I think from that point, more or less, this LGBT zone started to happen. I will not say that it happened because of that, but it was like in the same time. You know what I mean? So the Polish Catholic Church really influenced and supports such an action as LGBT free zones. It's interesting to see the way that values have been mobilised. Sorry, can you say it a bit louder? I'm not sure. Can you hear me? Yes. I think it's really interesting the way that the whole idea of values and ideology has been mobilised in these discussions. I mean, because I guess there's been this effort to frame it not as targeting specific LGBT people, but trying to combat the rainbow plague, trying to combat LGBTQ ideology. And it's really interesting mirrors there with the way things like critical race theory are being treated in the US, where the idea is what you're mobilising against is a threatening ideology. The people are fine. It's the ideas which are somehow the cancer, the plague that we have to counter. And also the way that all of this, and you guys have picked this up really clearly, is rooted through the figure of the child. The child who has to be protected at all costs from adult queerness. And that framing so neglects the fact that queer children exist. You know, they are absolutely erased as a possibility. And what you have is this sort of metaphysically inflated phantom of the child with a capital C who represents the future defined not in the sense of something that's emergent or to come or potentially different or mutational in some way, but a future that represents the exact replication of the same across time. So more of the same. The child is the figure of the more of the same. And you know, when you deal with children in the abstract with a capital C, ignore the fact that queer children exist, ignore the fact that children are actually a very differentiated mass of individuals and start seeing them as this kind of sort of wholly figure that cannot be contested. And every appeal that's made in the name of the child can't be resisted. You know, this idea that you cannot say, like, well, we're doing this for the children, and therefore you get that it's impossible to argue against that kind of logic. I think I just think it's really interesting that it is the way that ideas of values and ideas of ideologies become these kind of progen horses to smuggle in actually the ongoing stigmatization of people. Thank you. And it's very sad as well. Yes. Yes. So thank you first of all for giving us like a little introduction into the situation. And so what what the School of Resistance always tries is to say, okay, what could be actually potentials or future or possibilities. And that's why I really we invited Helen, because Helen comes from a background where she created with a group of others proposal for some sort of futurity or potentiality. And Helen, I have some quotes from your work. And I will just state them for the audience. And then you could maybe just really explain to us your concept. And you can try. Xeno feminism is gender abolitionist letter hundred sexes bloom. So Helen, what is Xeno feminism about? So what's the word actually? What's what's coming? Where is it coming from? How did you develop maybe also this theory? And how can we situate this theory into the context of queer liberation also into the historic struggles maybe that have been happening in the last decades? So to sort of address the name. So the Xeno comes from this idea of the the outsider or the stranger, as opposed to kind of the the familiar or the figure of the compatriot. So it's kind of I guess it kind of relates to, you know, the discussion that we were just engaging in that it's about it's about a feminism that engages with the alien to some extent. So the idea of a, for example, a future that's not based on the unthinking repetition of the same, but creates a space for the emergence of genuine alternatives, alternatives that we may not yet be able to foresee. And then so the so the way I define Xeno feminism is I use a sort of tripartite kind of structure to talk about it. And so first of all, I think about it as a techno materialist form of feminism. So Xeno feminism is really interested in technologies as activist tools. It thinks about, you know, I mean, we had this conversation about what the internet enables us to do that perhaps would have been impossible before. So we kind of start from this idea of well, what can technologies do? But we're very keen that we don't kind of snip technologies out of their contexts. So if we're talking about technologies, we don't want to treat them as if they're sort of like this ethereal disembodied cloud that just sort of exists without without anything surrounding them. We think very much about their brute materiality. So that's in terms of the infrastructures that grounds them, but also in terms of the bodies of the people who use technologies and who produce technologies. So trying to get this very grounded sense of how technologies work in context and think about it that way. So that's the first thing that techno material aspect. The second term I use to describe it is anti naturalist. So now that's this is an idea that sort of triggers some resistance because people think when I'm talking about anti naturalism, I'm talking about being against nature in some way. And that's not really what we're kind of getting at. Xeno feminism is an anti naturalist endeavor in the sense that it frames nature and the natural as a space for contestation. So we don't think that that nature is some sort of untouchable realm. But actually, we understand that it's always developed in conversation with culture, including technology. And also that it is within the purview of politics. Nature is always already political. So it's not outside of that framework. And Xeno feminism kind of assumes that any political project that's based upon nature, some kind of pseudo theological limits or some kind of cartography of the untouchable is going to lend huge conceptual resources to the conservative punishment of radical difference. So when it says, oh, well, it's just things are just this way because they're natural. It's naturally that way, you know, but particularly ideas around around gender and sexuality to suggest that things are unnatural or natural as a way of kind of closing down a conversation. Xeno feminism seeks to resist that. So to just use I've got a little quote from the manifesto here, which I think is relevant. We write that nothing should be accepted as fixed, permanent or given, neither material conditions nor social forms. Anyone who's been deemed unnatural in the face of reigning biological norms, anyone who's experienced injustices wrought in the name of natural order will realize that the glorification of nature has nothing to offer us. The queer and trans among us, the disabled, as well as those who have suffered discrimination due to pregnancy or duties connected to childhood. So we sort of start from this idea that it doesn't help intellectually or morally or politically to appeal to the natural, you know. And so that that is sort of this idea of, for example, saying that we are we are born this way. We think that that has a very particular set of strategic affordances. But also that it needs to be complimented with a kind of a different approach that doesn't try to kind of start to inevitableize gender or sexuality, but actually sees it as a space of transformation. So I think so just to kind of clarify, when we say that we're anti naturalist, we're not trying to say that there is no that we're against nature. We're not trying to say that the biological doesn't have any capacity to kind of structure our world or shape the possibility space of what we can do as political subjects. And so we're not trying to deny that there is some kind of biological strata to embodied reality, or to suggest that different bodies don't have different susceptibilities or capacities. Of course, they do. What we are trying to challenge is the idea that the biological is immutable or fixed simply because it is biological, you know, so that's on the one hand that involves acknowledging that social ideas are the sort of shape how we understand embodiments, you know, we have to acknowledge that many of our ideas about gender and sex and sexuality are ideological ideas. But the sort of the more radical kernel involves framing the terrain of biology as rightfully subject to change. So we sort of suggest that, you know, biology is not destiny, because biology itself can be made subject to change, it can be technologically transformed, and it should be technologically transformed in the pursuit of reproductive justice and the progressive transformation of gender. That's kind of the anti-naturalizing. And then that brings us on to the quote that you started with, which was about gender abolitionism. So that's the third component that I use when I'm trying to offer a definition of xenopheminism. It's basically to stress the idea that xenopheminism would like to kind of agitate for the deconstruction of a binary gender system. And this is really connected to this idea of anti-naturalism, I think. So if we understand that nature is folded into the domain of politics, then that which we currently think of as gender is one domain of potential emancipatory transformation. And then so I guess one thing that I would really stress when we're talking about this idea of gender abolitionism is that it's not about the stripping away of gender markers, it's not about the imposition of some kind of uniform, everybody looks the same, everybody is the same, there is no gender, there is no difference, there is no diversity. It's sort of, it's more about understanding the body's position as a reworkable platform. And kind of, I guess instead of arguing for some kind of gender austerity, arguing instead for something like a gender post scarcity. So the idea that gender might proliferate to the extent that it overruns a binary gender system would kind of be what we're getting at really. So yeah, so yeah, this idea that rather than there being, so we understand the fundamental paucity of the model that says you have masculine male, feminine female, and all gender gets funneled into that paradigm. And it's sort of, we argue for this sort of proliferation of gender outside of that. So we want the restrictions upon gendered identity to be scrapped, and this kind of tenacious, binary thinking to be disregarded. And instead, we're really interested in the idea of a multiply gendered world. So if xenopheminism is gender abolitionist, it's in the sense that it rejects the validity of any social order that's anchored in identities as a basis of oppression, and in the sense that we embrace sexual diversity beyond any binary. So this is where the idea of let 100 sexes bloom comes from. And I think one thing that I would add to that is this idea of proliferation. It's not just, that's not an end point. So this idea that we could maybe have numerous categorising options, hundreds and hundreds of drop-down menu items that we could choose as we get into these more and more specific kind of gender categories for ourselves. I think there is a certain kind of pleasure associated with that. There are manifold pleasures of gender as well as pains and sufferings that are attached to it. But the recognition of the possibility of innumerable genders should only be a first step in the refusal to accept any gender as a basis of stable signification. So we think that at the moment under current systems of binary gender, gender is seen as having this massive explanatory power for why people are the way that they are. That if you designate somebody a particular gender, that somehow gives you an insight into their attitudes, their capacities, their interests, their life course, their consumer behaviours. Gender becomes a shorthand for a massive different kind of bodily processes, identity traits, all of this stuff gets scooped up in big categories of gender. And we just think that that doesn't work, that we should be looking for more nimble and inclusive vectors of solidarity and that we should be thinking not in terms of these big identities as explaining who we are. We shouldn't think about gender as bearing the weight of signifying something beyond itself, but should instead just see gender as just gender. Gender is just, you know, that they don't have this power to explain anything about who we are. That the categories that we adopt aren't a sort of shorthand for identity as a whole, but just refer simply to gender in and of itself. I hope that makes some kind of sense. I hope it did to some extent. It does Helen and I think you triggered really a lot of interesting factors from all of these different things. Obviously we were a bit behind with English so all the hard words was hard to comprehend, but the overall idea is definitely understandable and it's funny what you were finishing with when it comes to the idea of gender needing to be binary in order for it to open up. Because that's something that I've had discussion with with my another trackmate friend, Toya Stara, who I've asked to explain to myself how do non-binary people identify as and obviously there's a huge spectrum there, right? And in drag there's always this play and game on bending gender and for order for that game and that fun and that joke to happen you need a construct of gender. You need to have it to be binary in order to then be able to bend it. So I feel like it very nicely overlaps with what you were explaining about this concept in general, but I also do have a follow-up question here when it comes to that unnaturalism or anti-naturalism that you were talking about because in the context of for example gay people the idea and the belief is that it's natural to us. We were born gay, thus it's natural, thus it's our biology. How does xenofeminism react to that? Yeah I mean I think the first important point to make is that there is obviously no one way of being queer. There is a huge a huge different range and there's actually a really rich interesting kind of body of queer texts around ideas of gender abolitionism as well. So whilst I think that it is this idea of it being something natural is something that's very much mobilised within a lot of contemporary LGBT activism there's also a whole other activist tradition and a whole other philosophical tradition that takes a slightly different approach as well. So I think so where xenofeminism has an issue is when nature isn't seen as a platform, it's not seen as something changeable or something to do something with, but is seen as being both a stable origin and an incontestable end point. So that's where there's kind of this slight schism between some frameworks of queer activism and a more xenofeminist framework of queer activism. So when we talk about positions which are founded on a claim of being born this way which is obviously you know quite a popular slogan, what we have is these sort of supposedly inbuilt characteristics that become sort of set up or framed as being a transcendental guarantee. You know it's the idea of there's a quote in the xenofeminist manifesto about how we're told to seek solace in unfreedom as if offering an excuse with nature's blessing. Now certainly some politics of for example trans liberation have staked their claims on a kind of redemptive understanding of identity. You know and I think this idea that there is some internal truth to gender, some internal truth to sexuality that can be sought out or divined in some way. It's a really understandable approach given the perpetually embattled condition of queer and trans communities because what it does and I think I've kind of gested to this already is that it what it does is it inevitableizes one own existence. It's like well yeah of course I'm gay of course I'm queer of course I'm trans I can't change it it's just the way that it is and that makes it it makes it seem inevitable and when you're sort of working for your basic survival strategically that makes a massive amount of sense. So I think you have to kind of recognize the way that these strategies are born this way engage with sort of ideas on the ground but I think they there's also I think those strategies have to be complemented not necessarily replaced not ousted because they do have massive utility but actually complemented with approaches that actually deal with some of those really radical and emancipatory tendencies of trans feminism which relate to its capacity to act as a sort of assertion of freedom in the face of an order that seemed immutable like saying that okay well there's this whole realm of identity a whole realm of being human that's been set up culturally and historically as an untouchable you know if something is natural you cannot touch it that's the end of the conversation and a huge amount of what I find to be the most energizing and inspiring trans feminist practice and thinking has gone has been about refusing that actually claiming freedom from a space but we're not supposed to be able to enter into that's not supposed to be a space of human intervention and I find that sort of massively exciting trait and I think what I would say as well is that I don't in any way want to suggest the trans subjects for example are at fault for reinforcing a gender binary or to deny lived experiences of many of our trans siblings but rather I want to sort of acknowledge that these experiences of gender are already determined through the terms of power and I think so xenofeminism is kind of it's curious because it has this gender abolitionist anti-naturalist stance that goes alongside what I hope is a rather more pragmatic focus on sort of agitating for the broadening of access to legal and medical and social technologies of transition for everybody who wants them so you know that there's this real focus on you know making life livable for queer people on the ground but that is then combined with this sort of I guess sort of longer term thinking about the overthrowal of these existing systems and I guess what so it's more about having this queer anti-naturalist gender abolitionism sit alongside certain species of strategic naturalism and having instead this sort of ecology of activism like a multi-pronged attempt where all of these different perspectives and time scales and agendas kind of interact and so trying to find a way where we can maximize the pletius of gender whilst minimizing the pains and the harms to some extent. Thank you Helen. So you already jumped into it was very interesting for me to hear Gashu and Himera and responding to Helen's approach of xenofeminism saying that there's some like affinity also in the way drag culture performs and so I would really like to enter into the because we are an artistic format into the question of art and art also as a political tool so I first have a little quote also from Helen which says that despite its name gender abolitionism that we talked about now briefly is not a destructive project but a creative one it's a call for a world in which there are lots of different ways of doing gender and now I'm wondering Mache and Gashu and Himera how do you feel about this question of like the creativity of destruction of gender and how is this part of your work as a political activist but also as an artist so could you yeah help us get into the theory of drag culture also? I think it would be the best person to answer that. Because Mache I'm also maybe to say this in your biography you end with the statement masculine enough to be queer so what is this about and maybe you could like show us. Okay so maybe our example what I'm focused on when I'm doing drag so actually I'm focused on what does it mean to be a masculine because actually I have no idea and I'm so happy that I have no idea what does it mean to be masculine but there is some kind of like stereotypical pictures which we each male part of the society are focused on but actually they are so different and there's no one thing which you can call this is like masculinity and this is what I'm playing with that in my drag I'm still trying to be like I'm playing with this being masculine for example like now I'm wearing shirt but as well I'm wearing makeup you know what I mean this is like this is what I'm doing in drag but like in the whole situation I will say that the drag culture is the perfect example of what Helen was saying because like of course we are working with what Haimera said already that we somehow we are working with this binary idea but we are just using it as a tool you know what I mean we are using it as a tool to say that such a thing actually does not exist there's just pictures you can you can be inspired by this idea by these ideas but actually it does not exist and this is what drag is about from my perspective I definitely agree with you Kiel like I mentioned before drag kind of falls in between those two binary states and it's very beautiful to see how each one of those artists and drag performers interpret it on their own way that's why drag really made me do it because there's such a variety there there's such a diversity there that you see someone being extra feminine someone being extra masculine someone being nothing in between something be someone being from the the space and the moon and an alien and it's beautiful to see how all of that opens up on the basis of only these two ideas of masculine and feminine and the interpretation of all of this from different perspective is really what inspires me to do drag exactly because like even more I will say that not only that that not masculine and feminine are the limits they are even more you know what I mean something something something behind the masculinity and behind the femininity the femininity yes this is the word okay sorry like my English uh you know what I mean like drag is less horizontal I don't know circle yes I mean I think you know this really taps into some of what's behind a sort of the the the idea of abolishing a binary gender system through the proliferation of genders right because Gashi the kind of point that you make is that there are so many different images of for example masculinity and many of them are not compatible you know so actually there is there is no pure poll of masculinity that could be accessible because there are so many different forms of masculinity that that you can't you cannot be perfectly masculine because it is already too multiple to ever embody that position and I think it's also really important to acknowledge that the experiences of gender are always shaped by intersectional factors so actually the possibility of embodying ideas of masculine and feminine of masculinity and femininity are already shaped by things like race you know you see that there have been certain ideas of for example white femininity as fragility delicacy the need to be protected from work that very much have not applied to women of color who have been seen to not embody that kind of femininity who have you know there have been some sort of postcolonial decolonial scholars who've sort of talked about the fact that it's it's impossible to be both black and a woman because the category of woman has already been shaped by this idea of whiteness it's fundamentally a white category so there's already this mass proliferation of gender in ways that are you know occupiable or non-occupiable by different people in different times and places and situations so gender is already multiple it's already overrunning its categories and you know I think a part of part of the sort of the gender abolitionist element is understanding how that might be leveraged in a more emancipatory way to facilitate gendered freedom and maximize our ability to exercise both individual and collective autonomy within the space of gender so Helen oh yeah please go on no I'll just like there's like just as an inspiration for example like for me bodybuilders show you know the bodybuilders right like come on they behave exactly like drag queens the amount of makeup the poses everything they behave like drag queens come on they're perfect in that yeah they would fall into that stereotypical idea of masculinity right up to up to a point but again it's there there are these contrasting there are these contrasting norms where the very fact of bodily display would seem to destabilize this idea that they are hypermasculine so certainly the musculature is is hypermasculine but there's a sense in which that attentiveness to self crafting actually already problematizes this idea of being able to occupy a masculine norm and you know use and then when you bring in the fact that there are that there are cis female bodybuilders you know they are also in this very they are in to some extent engaging a hyper feminine display because of the presentation of the body partially clothed heavily made up as you identify on a stage you know it's very much enmeshed within a certain set of feminine or feminized gender norms but then the the nature of the bodily display what they are being kind of critically assessed on in this process of sort of um the the judging and the categorizing of the body is so completely completely different from what we associate with feminine norms so is there's already all of this there's there's already like mass gender confusion and what xenofeminism would like is to just continue the gendered chaos like build on it build on it build on it make it so that actually gender overruns its categories to the point where we can no longer rely on it as a framework of signification you know we can no longer assume that we know anything about anybody on the basis of the gender that we assign them like because it's all it is it's just itself it has no explanatory or significatory power beyond just being a gender and I feel like people choose to ignore that simply because they like to rely on what they know right and what they know is that there is a female in the male and that's it and then when there comes a lot of the unknown that's the primarily fear of everybody's out there you are afraid of what you don't know and when you don't know such things or you choose to ignore them you choose to stick to what you know and it's really funny how you mentioned that that it's already happening but people choose not to see that yeah but I mean there are very good reasons why we rely on stereotypes socially you know because actually we engage with people in all kinds of anonymized situations where it's actually really helpful to be able to just think okay I can just refer to a sort of mental cheat sheet for what kind of individual I'm engaging with and I guess it's just the fact that I'm very invested in sort of gendered anarchy and the proliferation of trouble but like I would rather make it impossible to rely on any kind of shorthand and actually have us I don't know there's something really there's something hopelessly romantic and I'm sure very philosophically problematic about the idea that we could confront each other as individuals in the world but there's something there that I find kind of quite appealing as an idea so what I'm taking out of this conversation is really create more trouble more gender chaos proliferate it all and so I have just some last questions which I find what would give me like a also me personally as an artist like Helen this whole idea it's it's as you say it's highly creative and it's doing an undoing gender it's an artistic practice and for you where do you see the potential of art as we're also being part of an art festival right now in queer and feminist liberation and the same question then goes to Gashu and Himera so your the way you use your art as a drag performer how can this be is this a political tool if yes and how and I would really like to to to hear your your opinion about that as our last questions of this very beautiful conversation yeah I mean I think I think I am very interested in a sort of exploded or expanded understanding of art as you know precisely at this level of sort of the autonomous process of shaping environments and identities you know kind of thinking beyond the creation of of specific works although I think the creation of specific works is you know is is part of this and actually art has a really interesting role in role in sort of giving us a sort of facilitating ways of thinking otherwise you know because when I when I try and articulate these ideas I'm very constrained by what is my medium for communicating them which is a language that starts and flows and then ends so there's this very temporal dimension to what I do and I try my best to develop concepts to apply concepts and so I'm working in a very particular register and it's a register where ambiguity is actually something that's discouraged but what you're striving for all the time is clarity and so there's not quite so much space to maybe sit with something without coming down in a particular position on it you know I am as a as a philosopher or as a theorist or as an activist I'm expected to be thinking about well what's what is the positive content here what do I what do I believe what is my argument you know what is my cause and what are my tactics so there's very sort of concrete space of thinking through these things where there's actually less space for discomfort and less space for not knowing and if you want to sit in a space of ambiguity you really have to actively claim it against disciplinary traditions you know you have to claim it against a set of norms that's steering you to act or talk in a very particular way so I mean I think art has greater capacity to to think about things in a way that is less prescriptive potentially because there is I mean every text no matter what its intention is polysemic it will always be picked up and read and reread and reinterpreted and meanings that you had intended will be missed and meanings that you never intended will be added or created that's just the nature of communication happens everywhere but I think I think in art there is this space to be more overtly polysemic to let multiple meanings sort of jostle against each other and not have to attempt to introduce a framework of resolution where you're like I'm building a case here is the conclusion actually things can sit together and just sort of you know jostle up against each other in comfortable and uncomfortable ways and that can be a real tool for stimulating thinking and I think for one of the things that we say in the Xenopheminist manifesto is that we want Xenopheminism to be a platform not a blueprint so it's not about trying to prescribe a way of doing things but trying to create something that could be a tool for different people to think with I think that's something that we really aspire to and I think that you have this very interesting recursive relationship between art and philosophy where you know where you can attempt to be a tool for somebody to think with and they can produce a work which actually then shakes the way you then return to it and what we use as raw materials for our thinking you know we're constantly engaged in this process of exchange which I think can be quite exhilarating and rewarding so I mean we've been really really fortunate that actually a lot of artists who I massively respect and I just really actually just enjoy their work have taken up Xenopheminism as as part of their sort of conceptual toolkit for thinking and doing things and you know I think I will be a very happy person if I manage to continue to produce stuff that people can think alongside and weird and that's not just about accepting something or saying like oh yeah I'm going to take this idea and use it in a literal way very often it's about how people refuse your ideas how people reject them how people argue against them because actually what you're doing is you're engaging in this sort of dialogue this sort of dialectical process of transformation you know there's really no greater compliment than somebody taking your work as something to argue against or to push against in the course of developing their own their own thinking because it really in that process of refusal and critique they put you at the center of what they're doing so you've really made a contribution and I think that's something that's quite uh quite exciting to witness. Thank you Helen and Gashu and Himera so for you the artistic maybe also the artistic political potential also of the work you're doing. Like are we mute or not okay because we are muting ourselves to when Helen is talking that's why I was checking it and so drug is always political because because we already said it I think that the gender is the easiest tool to catch by the government and to control it you know what I mean for the for the government is the easiest way to control the society is to give the gender rules and actually when you are doing drug you are saying like fuck it you are not going to control me by my gender so drug is always political and it's it's it doesn't matter how you are presenting your drug how you are performing on drug if you are doing drug you are kind of like against the the system all queer culture actually is about that the Karol Radiszewski very very famous Polish artist said such such a thing that queer culture is always like rebel you know so yes because you are doing drug you are you are doing like political political political art and actually like our because very often me and Himera we are we are in the in some political actions we are doing it I will send them I don't want to attack even more because of that kind of like push even more it's not about that but maybe more in the activist yes theme fashion and then it goes beyond just the existence because like Goncius said just by doing drug by just being drug you are being political because you're challenging the norms you you're just regarding them and what we do sometimes is often more focused on those activists action to the culture to the community to the society and I feel like drug gives you a nice medium to make people question things and that's where the conversation begins even if it's silent simply by looking at you simply by judging you simply by criticizing you you becoming the center of their attention and some way or the other you made that conversation happen and that is political because the performer piece of it in performance piece of it always boils down to at least in my opinion to make people question things and be impressed by something be the positive or negative impression whatever they are left with it's something for them to riddle and to question and maybe answer maybe not I like with my drug performances to make a joke because I'm one of these drag queens who don't shape legs and so when you look at the construct of my face that has been painted to a hyper feminine style and overly glamorous woman and then you kind of continue moving down there and you see those manly hairy legs it kind of contradicts one another and you're like what why how and so this is very often if I were here like here the question why you didn't shave your your legs because I don't I don't have to and it's again challenging the norms challenging the ideas even those of women must musting having to shave legs so obviously I feel like drag is political drag gives you voice you in general become more loud when you put on all that makeup and wig like there's no way you can come on heels a day or like that you cannot avoid people looking at you you cannot avoid people coming to you and you cannot avoid using your voice and I feel like that's a very beautiful of drag that gives you the platform to be visible to be loud and to speak your truth that's why mostly we are doing lip sync because we are screaming all the time and then we are like lip syncing the song you know again thank you our time is now it's been a beautiful conversation I would still give the space to Helen and gashu and he met her to like say the last words or thoughts um if you have them to each other we can of course meet in the in the room after the life is over to say really properly goodbye but maybe something that the audience still would like to hear from you the audience to hear from us I will say please don't do drag I need a job no I'm just kidding of course try to do try to be drag I mean just try it and you will see that it's really funny I would say whatever you do whatever you believe in whatever you try to challenge whatever you feel not accepted about or whatever you disagree it with just try it keep pushing do it I think I would stress the absolute necessity of solidarity at the current moments where we face a resurgent right and I think there is a tendency particularly within anglophone feminine or some parts of anglophone feminist discourse at the moment particularly British discourse what to pit the struggles of cis women against those of trans people to pit the struggles of lesbian and gay people against those of bisexual people and transsexual people um I really think that we can see from our activist histories that whilst we need to have spaces for autonomous organizing and autonomous thinking and that there will be cases when our priorities are not always exactly the same actually there are many many more situations in which our struggles are one in which our struggle for bodily autonomy and the right to maximize the possibility of self-determination within current social and cultural positions are are shared you know that actually with this is this is a moment where you know we're seeing that in Poland for example it's not simply an attack on LGBT people it's also an attack on the protections from against domestic violence it's an attack on protections rights to access abortion even in the most heinous circumstances all of this is part of a united kind of effort populist effort to suppress the capacity for self-determination for for the kind of a a mass subject and I think you know we need to understand that our struggles are one and we need to be in absolute solidarity with each other and and moving together and I think in many ways the most sort of contemporary there's a lot of contemporary struggles that are really doing this I mean I think we've seen a lot of it in the sort of transversal organizing that's happening in Latin America and I think in many ways we've seen it in the Polish context too where there has been a a stitching together a a sewing together into a single garment of all of these struggles around bodily self-determination and I think we need to sustain that we need to deepen and strengthen our transnational networks of activism and move together to tell a resurgent right that they can frankly fuck off I think this was an awesome ending I would say thank you to the audience thank you to our guests this was after 15 episodes and the corona crisis and the lockdown the last online debate format of school of resistance after the summer we are developing new formats with hopefully open analog theaters here we will be we will be having invitation to go there yes so we will of course try to invite all our school of resistance guests somehow to stay in our network as Helen said to that the school of resistance becomes a tool against of course our enemies and I now wish the audience a very beautiful night and goodbye

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Chris Johnson's 2,000-yard season, here are three incredible facts from that incredible year. First, through five games, Chris Johnson had just 468 rushing yards. He put up over 100 yards in each of the last 11 games of the season. Remarkable. Second, Chris Johnson only carried 30 times once in the season finale at Seattle. He actually averaged 5.6 yards per rush in 2009. And finally, Johnson caught 50 passes for 503 yards. 10 yards of catch is outstanding for a back. CJ's 2,509 total yards from scrimmage set the NFL record. Because of that and his 16 touchdowns, one could make the case that Chris Johnson had the best season for a running back in the last 40 years.

class we have studied hydrogen transport by a hydrogen-dedicated pipelines. Now, hydrogen pipelines these are the most cost effective method for hydrogen transport, but only when it is large volumes and transmission over a longer distance. However, if the transport of hydrogen by these hydrogen-dedicated pipelines laying down the pipeline is highly cost intensive. So, it is very expensive and it may take a lot of time in completion of such pipeline projects. It is not only the construction of the pipeline, but at the same time the various approvals, the legal regulations, the rights of waste all that processing requires a lot of time. So, the alternate way could be we can have either transporting hydrogen via road by means of tube trailers or super insulated vessels. So, these modes we will see in the next class or the other option could be blending of hydrogen with natural gas and then transporting it through the existing natural gas pipelines. Now, this particular method of transporting hydrogen by a blending in the existing natural gas pipelines has advantages that it not only saves in terms of the cost, but at the same time this can also save time because the time that will require for constructing a hydrogen-dedicated pipeline will be saved. At the same time this can serve as a long term future additional means of delivery of hydrogen. At the same time it can also serve to transport hydrogen during the initial hydrogen growth, market growth when the demand of hydrogen is going to increase. Now, we will see this particular method of hydrogen transportation wherein hydrogen is blended with natural gas and transported in the existing natural gas pipeline. Now, this blending will save significant capital cost as against laying down hydrogen-dedicated transmission and distribution pipelines. Now, if we blend hydrogen in a lower level, in a lower concentration, in that case, however the energy that goes or the consumers that may have to pay slightly higher amount, but that will in fact result into lower carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time these blending standards currently there are different regulations in the countries and these have to be clearly spelled out. At the same time there is a requirement of harmony between the cross borders for having similar standards throughout. If this blending is to be done, if it has to be done in a smaller concentration, it has lower level, then it will lead to minor modification in the operation and maintenance of the natural gas pipelines. If this blending is done at a percentage level of say 5 to 15 percent, then it is not going to cause a significant change in the existing infrastructure. However, if blending is to be done at a higher level like 15 to 50 percent, then there are more significant changes that need to be carried out in terms of conversion of the end use appliances or increase in the compression capacity. That will be particularly for the industrial users. Now, if the blending has to be further exceeded say above 50 percent, in that case the challenges will be in multiple areas. So, we have to deal with the pipeline material, we have to see what kind of pipeline material is being used, whether it is compatible with the hydrogen at a percentage level of 50 percent or more. We have to also look at the safety issues, modifications will be required at the point of end use as well. Now, this hydrogen blended with natural gas, there are two options, either it could be used as such at places, at end use facilities, at utilities which can handle certain percentage of hydrogen in natural gas or else the blended hydrogen has to be separated before the delivery for the end use application and that will again add up to the cost. Now, the benefit of existing natural gas pipeline network that will come if hydrogen is blended with natural gas that will be like in terms of the high capacity. If we compare then about 5000 kilometers of hydrogen dedicated pipeline exist globally as against 3 million kilometers of natural gas pipelines and also there is a storage facility, underground storage facility of natural gas which is about 400 billion cubic meters globally. So, high capacity of natural gas transmission at the same time storage facilities are already available and since we have been using the natural gas infrastructure for quite some time for decades. So, there is already well established safety measures, operational strategies and control and maintenance procedure at place which can be further extended. Already there has been a public acceptance towards the use of natural gas and these infrastructure the grids net pipeline grids they are available geographically abroad locations it is available at and then there is an interconnectivity which is desired. So, the important thing that lies is how much should be the quantity of blending that should be permissible. So, that limit of blending that may vary and it may depend upon what is the existing pipeline design and infrastructure like what is the design and construction of the pipeline that falls into like what is the integrity of these pipelines, what are the dimensions of the pipelines, what is the capacity of these pipelines, what are the materials with which these pipelines are made up of at the same time the design and construction of the other peripheral components, other equipments that are used with the pipelines like the compressor stations. It also will depend upon the design and construction of the end use appliances which are using that blended hydrogen. Now, there has been several studies that has been carried out globally like some of the studies in Germany that has also revealed that if we convert natural gas pipelines to dedicated hydrogen pipelines. So, completely onto the hydrogen pipelines that may reduce cost by 20 to 60 percent and not only reduce the cost but it may have multiple advantages. One is definitely the cost reduction but another one will be like say it could be the existing pipelines which have like the right of ways they have already the legal regulations that can be converted to hydrogen and that could save a substantial amount of time. At the same time, this may have a benefit in the sense in long run. For example, if the demand of hydrogen grows in future and the renewable integration policies may change then and if the demand of natural gas decreases with time in future in that case these assets, these natural gas pipelines which will be assets may get stranded and using this blending or this conversion that may utilize those assets in future as well. Now, there are not only advantages but there are challenges in blending of hydrogen in the natural gas. These challenges are like one of the challenges we know that hydrogen has a lower volumetric energy density. Now, when hydrogen is blended then the amount of energy or the energy content of the delivered gas to the end user will decrease and that means the end user will have to use greater gas volume to meet the similar energy requirements. And not only the end users but the end users could be industries like the chemical industries and all wherein they all they may have a requirement of the carbon which is present in the natural gas and for that purpose they will again will have to use larger gas volumes to meet the requirement. Another challenge could be we know that hydrogen has distinct different properties than natural gas. We have already seen when we studied the properties of hydrogen. Hydrogen we know that it burns faster and it burns with an invisible flame. So, there will be safety considerations that needs to be taken care of. We will require new flame detectors so as to identify to avoid any hazardous situation. Also the volumes the change in the volume of the gas they may affect the operation of different appliances. For example, some of the appliances they may be able to handle a certain range of gas composition and if the gas composition goes beyond that particular level then that may impact its operation. So, as such in that case this blending may not be suitable for those appliances. The upper limit of blending that could be allowed that however may depend, depend upon the utility. So, it may depend upon the appliance, it may depend upon the different industrial sector and the its utilization. Now that will be decided on case by case basis. But in the entire network of natural gas pipeline blended hydrogen natural gas pipeline the determining factor would be the appliance which has the lowest tolerance and that will decide the maximum limit of blending. So, these are the challenges which could be faced when hydrogen is blended into the natural gas. Now there have been studies in UK which has been carried out to show that the existing natural gas grids can be pipelines can be used for hydrogen transportation and the storage underground storage like salt cabin base storage can be used for hydrogen storage as well. In some of the appliances this blending percentage that could be handled could be much higher like 23 percent could be handled by some of the appliances. So, this is another extreme a higher blending level could be acceptable like for appliances which could be used for heating or for cooking. But on the other hand there could be utilities which may not handle a higher percentage. For example, the chemical industry where say natural gas is used as a feedstock. So, there if hydrogen is blended, so that particular industrial segment may not be able to handle a higher percentage of hydrogen. And at the same time if it is to be used for gas turbines then the seals of gas turbines can handle say 5 percent. The gas turbine itself can handle 2 percent. So, the handling percentage may vary. But in gas turbine seals it is possible that a minor modification in these can increase the blending percentage or can increase the acceptance towards the higher blending percentage. It is also possible that in future in order to handle a higher blending level new equipments needs to be designed and deployed. Now this thing is not new or it is not an unprecedented event like past also in 1960s or 1970s several countries including UK, US, Australia and others. When there was a shift from use of town gas to natural gas they converted millions of equipments using billions of dollars of funding to make it operating on natural gas. They replaced those equipments. So, this can also be done in future if required. Besides we need to also understand that natural gas is a commodity it is internationally traded. So, what is required is the this blending percentage these regulations standard should be uniform. So, the blending limit should be uniform throughout so that it could be easily transported and that is essential. Besides the standards which are developed it should be considered that in future with the knowledge which is gained with the changes with time it may be possible that the utilities may be able to handle a higher percentage of blending. So, these standards should be flexible to address higher blending levels in future. At the same time the policies should be in place so that they could allow increased blending in future or policies towards replacing appliances in future that should be considered. Now as mentioned either hydrogen blended with natural gas could be used as such at depending upon the application or if the demand for the utility is pure hydrogen in that case separation of hydrogen from the natural gas becomes essential at the end use site. Now this separation can be through different methods. We have already studied hydrogen separation in purification, pressure swing adsorption, membrane based separation method could be used but that again will depend upon what is the blending percentage. However that separation of hydrogen from the natural gas will increase the cost of hydrogen but it is nominal like 0.3 to 0.4 dollars per kg will be the increase or the additional cost associated with separation of hydrogen at the point of use from the natural gas. Not only the separation cost will add up but then once hydrogen is extracted from the blend in that case the natural gas needs to be recompressed to the desired pressure levels and that will also add up to the cost other than the separation cost. To summarize this particular portion we have seen that the requirement for the early market growth or the increasing hydrogen demand the transport one way of transport could be blending of hydrogen with natural gas. Now these blending levels currently it depends upon several parameters and currently there are not uniform standards and policies although public acceptance is already there for natural gas and there may be in future requirement of changing of appliances. The extraction of hydrogen from natural gas from the blends that may add up to the cost. Now the another method for hydrogen transportation other than blending in the natural gas could be transportation by a means of as liquid hydrogen via ships or in the form of ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carrier. Now the imported hydrogen it offers to several countries allows it to diversify their energy imports and that is why a lot of interest has been there towards shipping and transporting hydrogen via ship. Although this particular method of transportation that increases the cost significantly. So it is not only the liquefaction cost that adds up but the shipping cost also increases. So that increases the overall cost. At the same time the interesting thing is the disadvantage that we have seen was the boil off of hydrogen in the liquid state storage that hydrogen which gets boiled off can be used to power the ship. So about 0.2% of the cargo can be consumed per day to power the journey of the ship. Now the another challenge that remains is once the liquid hydrogen has been transported from the import terminal to the export terminal from the between the terminals. In that case it has unloaded the liquid hydrogen on its return back until and unless a high value liquid product is transported back it will come empty and that will again add up to the cost. And then definitely a lot of infrastructure will be required for liquefaction at the for the storage for the different peripheral equipments, super insulated vessels all that will be required for carrying liquid hydrogen on ship. Now the words first liquid hydrogen tanker that is Seussot Frontier. So the source of this image is mentioned here. So this carrier is Seussot Frontier and that started its journey on 21st January 2022 this year and this was built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries Japan and it carried the liquid hydrogen from Australian port of Hastings to Corbe and this is a tanker which is 116 meters long and can carry 75 tons of liquid hydrogen at 20 Kelvin temperature. So this is the first hydrogen tanker liquefied hydrogen tanker ship which is carrying liquid hydrogen between Australia and Japan. Now this is being imported from Australia to Japan port Corbe liquid hydrogen and in Australia it is being produced by brown coal gasification. So this is the first of its demonstration now. Other than shipping the other possible method of hydrogen transport could be that hydrogen can be incorporated into the larger molecules and it could be readily incorporated and then it could be transported as liquid. Examples could be like ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carriers. So this ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carriers they are much easier to transport as compared to transporting hydrogen. But we need to remember here that these are not the final products which could be used by the consumers. That means we need to liberate hydrogen we need to extract hydrogen from these carriers the larger molecules and then use hydrogen after extraction. That adds up to both cost as well as energy requirements. So that means there will be a trade-off trade-off by in terms of how much is the cost savings when we could save by saving in terms of transport instead of transporting hydrogen and how much additional we have to spend in separating hydrogen from these carriers. So that trade-off will decide which particular method will be better for hydrogen transportation. Now we have already studied that hydrogen if transported by a pipeline could be cheapest option for distances which are less than 1500 kilometers. Now beyond this particular distance it can be transported as ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carriers and especially when it is moved overseas. This is considering the cost of conversion from hydrogen to ammonia liquid organic hydrogen carrier and reconversion including all the cost still it may become economical above the distance of 1500 kilometer. Now if we see currently ammonia can be transported via pipelines and there exist pipelines or however new pipelines can be laid down for transporting ammonia. But laying down these new pipelines for ammonia transport these would be cheaper than transporting via hydrogen pipeline or the cost involved in laying down hydrogen pipelines is more compared to laying down ammonia pipelines. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers these can be carried like oil and diesel and they can use the existing pipelines which are currently being used. But the major problem lies is in liquid organic hydrogen carrier once hydrogen is being extracted the energy carrier has to be taken back to the point of origin for its recharge. So either that energy the hydrogen carrier in the liquid organic hydrogen carrier has to be bought back via road or a parallel pipeline will be required to take it to the point of origin. So that may add up to the cost significantly. Now considering all these both cost and energy will be associated for separation like getting a hydrogen from liquid organic hydrogen carriers and at the same time converting it back once it is separated from hydrogen that carrier needs to be converted back to LOHC. So that reconversion process will require both cost as well as energy. Now the cost of hydrogen pipelines we have seen both including Kpex and Opex for 1500 for around 1500 kilometers of pipeline the cost of hydrogen transportation by pipeline comes out to be 1 dollar per kg of hydrogen. Transporting via ammonia is cheaper like 0.5 dollars per kg but an additional cost of 1 dollar per kg is for conversion from hydrogen to ammonia. So our total of 1.5 dollar per kg is required for transporting in the form of ammonia for around 1500 kilometers. Now beyond this 1500 kilometers if we further increase the distance now as the distance will increase the cost of hydrogen pipeline we know will increase. But the relative cost of increase in laying down the hydrogen pipeline is much higher than transporting in the form of ammonia or ammonia based pipelines. So the cost of laying down pipelines beyond a distance of 1500 kilometer is much higher than transporting it as ammonia and that break even point comes at 2500 kilometer. So at 2500 kilometer the cost becomes same for transporting via hydrogen pipeline or by ammonia based pipelines and that includes for ammonia both conversion costs. Now the cost here becomes for both 2 dollars per kg. Another option could be if the distance to be transported is say 1500 kilometers via shipping route then for liquid hydrogen this cost via ships is 2 dollars per kg of hydrogen being transported for ammonia it is 1.2 dollars per kg for liquid organic hydrogen carriers it is 0.6 dollars per kg and this cost of shipping will increase if the distance goes beyond 1500 kilometers. So this cost of shipping increases as the distance increases and this increase is in cost of shipping this is smaller compared to the cost that will increase if we have to transport it via pipelines via hydrogen dedicated pipelines. Now other option could be transporting via road. So via road we can carry about 5000 kg of ammonia or 1700 kg of liquid organic hydrogen carrier and other than the carrying it we have to bring the carrier molecule back to its original point via road tankers. Now if it is say 500 kilometers then the cost of liquid organic hydrogen carrier for distribution it is 0.8 dollars but then extraction purification that adds up to 2.1 dollar making it 2.9 dollars per kg for a distance of 500 kilometers via road but for ammonia this cost is 1.5 dollars per kg. So these are other optional methods to summarize in this class we have seen that when it comes to finding out the final cost at which hydrogen will be delivered to the end user we have to consider all the possible stages of the supply chain and when we compare the different modes of transport for hydrogen we have to include the different conversion, transmission, distribution, storage and reconversion costs. So all these needs to be included while calculating the cost for a mode of transport. It is possible that one particular option could be cheaper for a specific part of value chain but it may prove to be expensive for another part of value chain. At the same time the technologies which we have seen for long distance transmission they are at a different maturity level and when we say the cost will come down with economies of scale however we need to consider that since the maturity level is different there may be different levels of cost reduction in future. Now when it comes to hydrogen transport that is transmission and distribution while pipeline, pipelines are still cheaper till 3500 kilometer above that we can carry it via ammonia between if we have to decide between ship and pipeline then hydrogen dedicated pipeline will be cheaper below 1500 kilometer and above that it could be transported via ship either as ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carrier. So below 1500 kilometers as dedicated hydrogen pipeline would be cheaper option and above that either ammonia or liquid hydrogen carried via ship could be cheaper options. Now different countries they may have different cost scenario for example if we consider Japan then Japan imports 90% of its energy needs. Now if we see hydrogen domestic green hydrogen production it would be 6.5 dollars per kg as against importing hydrogen from Australia which will be 5.5 dollars per kg. So importing for Japan is cost effective is cheaper compared to domestic production in Japan however this may differ. So depending upon the trade routes there will be different options for some places domestic production would be more cheaper option compared to importing. So that depends upon how much is the cost offset compared to the required cost for transmission and distribution. So the trade off lies between what is the cost for domestic production and if it is to be imported what is the cost of transmission and distribution from other place. Thank you.

So it is the seminal moment where the industry is seeing the value of the multi-cloud era, right? And now we're giving them the tools to embrace. We've kept the ecosystem open. You see here on the show floor, the whole industry well represented and participating and engaged. And that's been an important part of VMware's success from the beginning and will be forever. I would actually say it's the new applications that may start in the cloud that, you know, have them roll out in volume like AI that will maybe the biggest change that people didn't expect. VMware, I hope, is known by our customers as having these two engines. Engine of innovation, innovating product in a variety of other things and focused on customer obsession. We do those, the plan will go a long way. For me, a couple of the highlights is how now the industry is starting to talk about tech as a force for good. So now we're starting to move out of the conversation of just the technologies and the products and the impact. But what are we collectively doing to make this world a better place? That's a new dialogue.

Mingo, why was it important for you to start things off by running out with the flag out to the bullpen? I was nine years old. I saw the news. You could see the news with my grandfather sitting there in the house. And in a game of football, I saw that great action of Samizosa. And he did that great hit, and he liked the fanaticism, like a random, every death, every victim, the family of each person. And I think that was the emotion, I revived that story again through Samizosa and that what New York people know, they know that you still have that in your chest, in your heart and in your chest, and that it's going to hurt a lot. And it will always hurt, every year. You know, 21 years ago, right, those tragic events, that tragic event here in New York City, you know, I remember I was nine years old. And I was watching baseball and watching everything happen. And I remember watching baseball with my granddad at the time. And I remember seeing Sammy running out there, Samizosa, you know, running out there with a flag. And it was a way to, for me, the way I took it, it was a way to show support to the country, to the people, the victims, you know. And today, I felt like it was a good way to kind of replicate that and show that, you know, that horrific event, you know, and still you remember what happened and that is close to your heart. It's the first time you've pitched on short rest. Obviously, it wasn't a long stint, but how did your arm feel? Yeah, you know, I felt really good out there. The preparation was the same. I knew it was going to be a short outing. And I just wanted to go and secure pitches, you know, and today I was able to do that, and I'm not allowed ahead in that inning. Is there a lot of pride amongst the pitching staff on an afternoon like this where so many guys are used and you guys have success? Yes, of course. That's the objective, that everyone does their job. We feel good. I feel good because what I practice, what they do every day, is reflected here in the pitch. And that's what we want, that every player that finishes with good numbers that finishes with good consistency and health. And that's what we want, that every player that finishes with good numbers that finishes with good consistency and at least today we saw something positive that every pitch that came in there came in with good action and I was able to finish well. Yeah, of course. And that's the objective, to go in there and just do your job. You mentioned some of our guys going in their pitching scene action. And for me it feels great to practice on certain things and then take that into game and execute. Not just for me, but for all those guys that saw action today and at the end of the day that's what you want. You want them to have a strong season and you want them to finish the season with health.

I mean for example coming to this conference is an easy thing to do but in a sense of taking a step back from what you do and find inspiration because it is whether you're in it already or you're new to it, service design is a messy thing that keeps changing and it's not so easy to put your finger on it and I think my main advice would be you can't do that much damage. If you have a learning mindset and you're trying to reach out there's so much that you can do every day to figure it out and coming here is always sort of a reminder of all the things that you wanted to do and could do and you get some new energy and I think sometimes in organizations it feels we are trying to convince everybody that this is a good thing but then there are those moments where it just falls into place and something cool is happening and I feel that if you want to be good at service design it's about being good with people it's about being curious and I think most people have the ability to dream up a better way but sometimes they don't take the time but I think you know creativity is something we spent a lot of time on last few years to cultivate that's not the problem anymore but I love about design that is also about doing something so I think that would be probably sort of the ultimate try to do something and then you can learn and maybe take also time to reflect so do and reflect because do and reflect so I started in everything that I do now even if it's one minute in the end I make sure there's time to reflect yeah and it's incredibly valuable so in every workshop the rating goes up by one point because people you know you just give people the time to land and I just I think in our fast paced lives it's not always easy but it's good good investment one minute

We're going to talk about responsive design and how that has affected current design trends. Turn this one on too. Can you hear me better now? There you go. Let's try that. Okay. No? Hello? Just talking to you. Hello, everybody. My name is Sarah. Sinking to... Hello, everybody. Yes! Okay. Let's start over then, just in case you didn't hear me. My name is Sarah and I'm the art director of Big Boom Design, and today we're going to talk about current trends in responsive website design. You've probably noticed that Internet has evolved in a big way over the last decade. We are using phones and tablets more than ever, and with that it has changed the way we design websites. The biggest trend is responsive design. What is responsive design? Well, it is an approach to website design that allows your website to seamlessly scale to a variety of devices and screen sizes. Think of it like this. Your website should respond correctly to the device that it is being viewed on. Take a look at this video of this website in action. You'll notice how the graphics are laid out, and it's scrolling down, and then go all the way to the bottom, and then in order to show you the scaling, I've slowly bring in the website, and you see how the content starts to stack. I'm doing this in my web browser and just bringing it back and forth. It's a great way to check while you're designing how the content is going to lay out. What are some of the main elements that make a successful responsive design? Those would be user-friendly layout, consistent navigation, keep the logo in the menu at the top, make sure your contact info is clear on every device, and your graphics should scale and stack appropriately with your most important information on top. The final most important thing is to make your copy accessible on all of your devices. Now let's look at how this has changed some design trends. When mobile design first started, desktop websites were often designed first, and then simplified versions were created for mobile devices. They were built separately and can only be viewed on their designated platforms. Now most designers create one design concept that can be scaled to various platforms, hence the term responsive design. So here are some logo designs over the last decade. You've got your old on the right for you guys, new on the left. You'll notice that the new style is much more minimal. There's either one, two colors at the most. They've lost all their textures, their gradient styles. They've also limited the colors, which is helpful to, for example, if you look at Dropbox and Spotify, they use one color, and then you can change that color depending on what it's being viewed on if the background color is different. And also logos are horizontal in format and have separate elements that can be used across various devices. So this is the Domino's website back in late 2010. I just want to point out, or I can't leave because of the microphone. If you look over in the top corner, you'll see their old logo up there, and it even has gradients and patterns added to it, which I think is kind of funny because the actual style was 2D, but then during this time of website styling, they were like, no, let's add even more style to it. You'll also notice that it's all on one screen, right? There's a ton of content. We've got a whole paragraph of stuff down at the bottom. There's also a button prompting you to download the app, right? Smartphones had just become popular at this point, so this website doesn't scale. If you wanted to view it on a phone, you had to actually download that separately. This is Domino's website today. It's much cleaner. You'll notice they still have the Domino, which has been their emblem since the 50s, but it's clean. It uses 2D style. There's no gradients. The images are sparing. The text is very limited. This is on the desktop view on the furthest, and then over here is what it would look like on mobile, and it stacks nicely. You can still read all of the content, and the most important information is at the top, the menu, which scales down to the hamburger menu, the logo, and for them ordering online. Here is the Dropbox website from the late 2010 as well. That big button is just super, super heavy gradient, lots of style. You'll also notice they're using their old logo as well, and they just have a solid page. It doesn't scale. This is what their website looks like today. It's much more colorful. They're using their new logo at the top. It's very clear where the sign-in information is, and depending on if you're on mobile or on your desktop, you can find that easily and the content stacks. I also like using this example because while limiting colors is important, you can still use big sections of color with limited text, and it still is very clear and easily readable for the viewer. To recap, there are the reasons and benefits for these current design trends as already discussed, mobile devices. Also, the simple graphics create a smaller file size which makes it easier for the website to load, depending on any device that it's being used on, and also accessibility and all-around user-friendly design. We are relying on technology more and more, and with that, we need to make information easily accessible to everybody. So, with these trends in mind, let's review the basics for managing graphic elements on a responsive design. So WordPress is not responsive out of the box, but most templates today are built to be responsive. You can create a theme using the free templates from WordPress, various online marketplaces, or hiring a company to create a custom template like BigBun Design. And let's see. So, but whatever you choose, when designing a responsive template, you need to keep in mind that what you create will scale down to a smaller screen and the information will stack left to right. Sorry. So, why is this important? It's because it changes the layout of your website and the way your content is viewed. So, more sections on a desktop computer mean even more on your phone. So, something that seems like it's very important and prominent on the desktop will be even lower when it's viewed on a mobile phone. Okay? So, is everybody doing okay out there? Yeah? Can we hold off on questions until the end? Is that okay? Great. So, now we're going to talk about content for a little bit. Without content, there would be nothing to design. It would just be colors and pictures, which is appealing, sure, but not helpful when you're trying to get information across. Your content should influence your design. You should ask yourself, what are the three to five most important items on my website? And then design your site around that information. Sorry there. A little technical difficulty. So, sorry guys, my mouse stopped showing up. There we go. Okay. So, ask yourself the three to five most important pieces of information on your website and design around that. And the most important thing that I'm going to talk about today and what you already saw on the screen is limit your content. You should be direct and clear with your information. Our attention spans are getting smaller and smaller and we read less copy. And I know it's sad, but what you need to focus on is creating a design with clear content that will engage your viewer. So, let's take a look at some examples of responsive design. This is a website that I found that I really liked because it showed an example of how you don't have to have a full-width image, necessarily in your hero section, which stacks very nicely on mobile and obviously this slows down the speed. Also, you can't see it in this, but this is a video and when it scales down it turns into an image, which is helpful. Some other things to keep in mind are does the menu scale well? Is the content clear at the top? Are you getting across your most important piece of information? And our next example I thought was appropriate for today, it's the WordPress.com website. And they also use the small image and it's nice because they were able to incorporate that into mobile, which I thought was nice to show because while we have some limitations in responsive design, it doesn't necessarily curb our creativity. And so now, I'm going to show you this website in action. And so they've used big sections of color and then a lot of their content is still very legible. I also like it because the desktop does have mobile, so you'll see as it starts to scale, the content gets more simplified and more direct. The content also is readable. It all stacks very nicely. They've minimized the graphics on mobile. We've already talked about the videos. So we've covered the basics for creating responsive theme. Let's recap some of the best practices for design and media management on WordPress. Colors, you want to use simple and consistent color patterns. Use more cool colors and limit bright colors. Also limit your patterns and gradients as well. Use 2D shapes, as you'll see in this example here. The one on the left is obviously much more legible to read while with these gradients and these patterns, it makes the copy harder. With logos, you'll want to use 2D style. Remove gradients, textures and patterns. Limit the colors. Keep horizontal in format if possible or create different styles for different needs. For fonts, you want to use WebSafe fonts or GoogleSafe fonts. Sandsurf is better for small copy. Also, you do not want to use text in images. You want to keep all of your text sweepable, is the term here, so that that copy could be copied out of your website and is not in an image where it can't be read. You want to have large sections of copy unlike backgrounds and use dark text and white space is okay. Here's another example. As you can see, the one on the right is very clear and this one is harder to read. And also on the one on the black background, you'll notice that the copy is not WebSafe and it's also hard to read, so it's just all around not a good idea to go with that. So images, you want to make full-width images your main focus, then use the focus of it be the center. So here in this example, you see that their heads, since they're so far at different sections when it starts to scale down, you might just get his nose and maybe an eye or the top of her forehead and the bottom of her chin and it's just not a good idea. But this lovely picture of Asheville, once it scales, it still is pretty good at catching like those clouds in that center section of the frame. Also use your images sparingly, keep them boxed in when possible. Use PNGs for logos and graphics and JPEGs for images. So last thing I want to talk about is SVGs, scalable vector graphics. If you guys haven't heard, scalable vector graphics allow graphics to scale to whatever screen size they are without losing image quality, which is especially helpful with the use of so many devices. So, yeah. We've covered a lot of information today and I want to remind you of some key points to take away. Remember to limit your content. Consistency is key when developing your responsive theme. Strive for simplicity when creating your design and have fun. So if there's any questions, now would be the time. I'm going to go for it. You back there. I mean, sometimes it is hard to find the balance, especially if you have a very content heavy website as well. I would definitely recommend that for your homepage and your top level pages, if you can try to limit the content and be more direct on that and then lead into more content for SEO further down, that's a better way to probably deal with that solution. And it doesn't always work. I mean, obviously when you talk about design purely, it's an idealistic world. And then when you apply that to working in the real world, it's not always the catch-all solution. I think one of the best ways to deal with that is actually to put in some tracking on the website and you can actually track, like Crazy Egg would be a really good example and they give you heat maps of desktop as well as mobile and so then you can see what people are clicking on the most on your mobile phone and then that can actually inform you what sections are not necessary. Yes. And I realize I forgot for the first few questions to talk it back into the mic. I apologize for that. So your question is what is the process of working with design and content when you're dealing with a client? So I would always stress which is why I had a big section about content. Like I try to make my clients focus on content first because it's really hard to start talking about design when you don't have the actual base of what you're trying to design and it can be hard. I get it. Like when we create our own personal websites, we actually hit those same walls that we do with our clients where it's like, well, I don't know what I want to talk to you about myself but there's a lot of great content out there but definitely using website tools and Google searches to see how people are using wireframes and site mapping in order to help bring focus in and then also sometimes if the client just doesn't know sometimes you can propose a set of client and then use that basically like in a testing phase to see if it works and then like go back and edit. So there's a handful of ways to deal with it. Janine. Like having done things those two different ways like frustration and depression. So Janine mentioned that while it's not usually singular in a company you're working with a team in order to come up with this and there's handoff at different points and what do you do in order to help with that? I mean a lot of communication is very important and a ton of back and forth. I mean we must do a ton of revisions and then we'll have these group discussions where we'll talk about well based off of our previous experiences with similar sites how does this elevate your content by doing it this way instead of another way. Another note which I always hesitate to put out there is sometimes you have to be pushy like a client may come in and they're like I really want this specific way but you know based off of current trends or what's the better way to get your information across this would actually be a better way. So if you can talk to them openly and be like I want to give you the best possible option and this is what I think that it is you can actually help push people in the right direction. I don't know if that answered your question Janine. There in the back. So the question was do we use homepage sliders anymore? And yes we do sometimes homepage sliders can be tricky. As we talked about you have to worry about the layout the more slides you have it will slow down the load time on devices. If you choose to use a slider I would recommend only having it on your desktop and then transitioning to a static image. But I mean there's plenty of websites out there that use sliders and also background videos which are very nice too. So it's not a bad idea to have animation I just think it's important to limit it and think about how much of it is really helpful to the viewer. There in the... This view over there you had Braceha had earlier. The question was if we use reliability acorn and I do yeah we do not use that personally but I'm not really the one to ask that that's more of a developer team question. Boomer in the back. So as far as the big sliders there's been a shift towards more of a hero image concept which you can still do a slider and so when you say typical slider you're thinking rectangular, fixed width, fixed height that's kind of a lot more of a big hero image but you can still have multiple slides. And then on the testing side the great tool is which the domain would be easier but it's Brad Frost-ish if you Google name Brad Frost and then ISH it's a really good breakpoint checker and a possible design checker where you can plug in a website and click through all the different screen sizes and there's hopefully a disco mode that will just go in and out and let you just sit and watch what happens to your design at different breakpoints and then you can kind of make notes about you can pause and make notes about how to let this breakpoint this is completely off the screen Yeah, Brad Frost I guess that's the guy's name and then ish, ISH is the tool and if you just search like ish responsive design you can probably just site probably any more questions? Awesome. My name is Sarah thank you guys so much I will be at the happiness bar after lunch if you want to talk I hope you have a great rest of your day.

Folks, welcome to a contrarian analysis of ocean power technologies incorporated stock symbol OPTT. This is a micro cap stock and the topics we're going to discuss today with regard to OPTT are going to be the company profile fundamentals news driving the stock price insiders and what they're doing or what they're not doing performance TTM which is 12 month moving average as well as the year to date average and then what I'm going to want to do is I'm going to want to segue over into doing some technical analysis of the charts both long-term and short-term using Trendspider and their automated technology platform. We'll also discuss analyst ratings, seasonality as well as catalysts which could drive the stock price higher or lower and that will include events and my technical analysis both long and short term and if you stick around to the end I'm going to give you my opinion of whether or not ocean power technologies incorporated is a buy, sell or hold on both a long and a short term timeframe. Before we begin with our analysis of ocean power technologies I'm going to ask you to please smash that like button it really helps me out with the YouTube algorithm it really helps support the channel I would encourage you to leave a comment I will definitely get back to you subscribe to the channel and certainly share with a friend on social media and I would encourage you to please join our live streams on Sunday evenings as well as Thursday evenings where on Sundays we discuss the futures action 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time each Sunday evening we'll watch and see how the futures are opening because that is truly the beginning of the new trading week then on Thursdays we do a Thursday night stock charts live where we review the weekly charts and how are poised to close out the week and of course on both live streams on YouTube we do take stock chart requests and we'll review the symbols that you're interested in so now let's begin our analysis of ocean power technologies incorporated symbol OP TT ocean power technologies incorporated is not a new company it's been around since 1984 to the United States based company out of New Jersey in my research I've found it as listed in both the electrical component sector as well as the alternative energy sector I believe it's more appropriate to be in the alternative energy sector I'm going to tell you why later on in the video that I believe that it's the alternative energy aspect of this company that will help drive future performance but there will be a caveat coming up soon that could influence the share price so stick around to the end of the video now being an alternative energy play ocean power technologies develops and commercializes proprietary systems that generate electricity by harnessing the renewable energy of ocean waves in North and South America Europe and Asia it's a global company now the reason why I believe it to be in the electrical component arena is because alternative energy is only one segment of their business they're also in communications the fundamentals of the company are not wonderful it is losing money there is a cash burn factor we'll talk about recent news in a moment that's helped mitigate that concern quite a bit their revenues year over year have improved considerably however they have not been able yet to turn a profit it does not pay a dividend but its balance sheet is fairly strong it has over 11 million dollars worth of cash versus debt of 2.14 million as for recent news in the company on October the 7th of this year market actually reported that there was a 34% increase in the share price and the interesting part about this is that there was no news out of the company and just prior to that the stock had soared 66.4% on big volume the Tuesday prior and before that you had a 24.8% increase on the prior Monday so with no news coming out of the company and volume rolling in very strong this leads me to conclude that you have a lot of institutional demand for the shares which is always a bullish sign for the share price moving forward now what really got the shares kicked off in terms of breaking out back in September was an agreement that was reached between Ocean Power Technologies with Aspire Capital Group where Aspire had agreed to purchase up to 12.5 million dollars worth of common stock over the next 30 months now I'll link to this article below because there is a lot of data with regards to the nuances of the agreement I think should take a moment to read through it because it's a very very good article and the terms are very favorable to Ocean Power Technologies now the encouraging part about Aspire buying the common shares of Ocean Power Technologies is that it may help reduce the volatility somewhat on these shares as it is an extremely volatile stock as you would expect with the microcap insider transactions over the past six months have been nil no sales no purchases the total insider shares held at 28,000 650,000 shares is pretty negligible relative to the size of the shares outstanding end of the float now taking a look at the insider Rouser you could see that one of the directors David Keller has the largest position in the company out of the insiders second is David Hines with 122,000 shares third in line is the chief executive officer George Kirby at 112,000 shares and what I find a bit concerning here is that you have two CFOs which have positions considerably lower than the overall moving average for all of the insiders noted here so to me taking a look at this having the CEO not at the top of the list and the CFOs literally at the bottom of the list that's a yellow flag on the track for me as we look at performance we're gonna look at Ocean Power Technology on two different levels one we're going to compare the performance of the share price relative to the industry average and for this instance we're going to use the electrical equipment industry average and the total annualized return as of September the 18th for OPTT was 28.88% versus the industry average of 67.59% that has changed dramatically in favor of OPTT since the 18th of September which is when we saw the news get announced that Aspire Capital Fund reached an agreement with management to purchase up to 12.5 million shares that was the catalyst to send the shares up higher we'll take a look at the chart and how the shares reacted in a few moments now when we look at the share price relative to the renewable energy sector which I think is more important to Ocean Power Technologies than being measured as a broader based electrical equipment sector the performance year-to-date is up 193.10% relative to the performance of the share price versus the Dow Jones US alternative energy stock market index which has a year-to-date return of 107.61% so a dramatic outperformance versus the alternative energy total stock market index very very impressive now you might be saying that Ocean Power Technologies had a very rough beginning of the year but to be fair the Dow Jones alternative energy total stock market index had a very rough beginning of the year as well so we're talking apples to apples here now moving on to the technical analysis of Ocean Power Technology the shares peaked out in Q1 of 2008 ever since that point in time they've been in a bear market but I think that what we're seeing here is a setup for a stock longer term that may just be poised to consolidate and then begin to break out on a longer term basis so let's talk about what we are seeing and what we need to see for us to get optimistic and get bullish about the share price and I'll leave you with my thoughts of as to whether or not I believe that at current is OPTT a buy seller hold now to perform our technical analysis of Ocean Power Technologies we'll be using Trendspider which is an automated technical analysis platform in short it uses algorithms as well as automated trend lines and a whole bunch of other functionality such as seasonality analysts opinion etc. volumated moving average to perform our analysis of OPTT we'll also be using multi time frame analysis which is built into Trendspider where we review the monthly charts weekly charts daily charts to identify where the share price has been to determine where it might be going both short term and longer term now there's a link down below in the video description area 35 percent off of you interested in Trendspider I strongly encourage it I called up my spell check for technical analysis because as long as I've been doing this from time to time Trendspider picks up something that I may have missed 35% discount code below take advantage of it the lowest price on the web if you're not using Trendspider you're missing out on an arrow in your quiver because other competitors out there are using the same type of software so if you want an edge over your competition make sure that you leveraging the power of technology so that you have an edge over other traders let's get to it we're going to begin here with a monthly chart of OPTT because the way I like to conduct technical analysis is from a very high level view to begin with I want to know where the shares have been to identify where they might be going and the story here is very nice the shares bottomed out back here in January of 16 you may be saying you know Bob we made lower low since that point in time technically they bottomed out back here all you've seen is some backing and filling since January of 2016 and when you throw up the automated trend lines here click of a button you could see that we broke out on a monthly basis here in May of 2020 ever since that point in time we've been drifting up higher and as you'll note the Bollinger bands here's the upper band of your Bollinger band for those who are not familiar the lower band you're seeing an ever tightening bottleneck this is setting up for a potential Bollinger band squeeze and in the moment we're going to talk about catalysts which may help drive the share price higher so stick around until the end so our share price has broken out we have broken out ever since May of this year our momentum indicators are gaining steam our stochastics are now putting in higher highs the relative strength index or RSI is putting in higher highs and breaking out on a monthly basis this is very powerful stuff so we're in the very early stages of a breakout here on OPTT weekly chart now on a weekly basis we had a burst up higher last week we were up nearly 143% on the week we did close out the week above the third standard deviation Bollinger band which is a higher level of Bollinger band that I use relative to an out-of-the-box Bollinger band in short folks I'll save you the technical jargon we're not supposed to be here and you could see that trend spider picked up on an upper band of resistance last week as well where did we close last week right at the upper band of resistance this is why you need to have automated technical analysis at your fingertips the stochastics on a weekly basis higher lows good stuff RSI even a better story in that we are putting in higher lows now we're even putting in higher high this is what a strong stock looks like you're seeing strong price action and it's being validated by your indicators daily chart now on a daily basis we saw an explosive move higher last week which automatically gives me pause and what I want to point out is that early I mentioned on the weekly chart that we were trading above the third standard deviation Bollinger band on a daily basis you could see what the outcome was right we closed above the third standard deviation Bollinger band on the sixth rallied higher on the seventh but it didn't end well right we corrected hard now to be fair on Friday an outside reversal day or you could call it a bullish engulfing day the only negative I have to say here about the price action on Friday was that we closed off the highs of the day which is okay we're talking about an early stage breakout of a long-term consolidation you're going to see backing and filling now where might I be interested in entering a position let's use the automated trend lines click up a button where I would be interested is on a retracement back down to one dollar and sixty nine cents so what I'll do is I'll set an alert now if I buy it's going to be very small because I like to open up small positions initially to see whether or not I am accurate in my call if I am correct then I like to build on strength so we'll set an alert and here's our alert I want to get notified within 10 minutes of us testing this support level in green it's a potential long-entry trade I'm going to keep this active for the next five trading days we'll create that alert and we're good to go when else might I be interested in either a opening a position or adding to an existing position I'll do this as you can see right now we're inside of a ever tightening wedge formation and what I would be interested in is a breakout above where we were stopped on both Thursday and Friday of last week I want to see us close above this resistance level so this alert here is going to tell me when we break out I only care about if we are poised to close above let's call it two dollars and fifty six cents if the shares are successful in being able to close above that mark well then we'll either a add to our existing position assuming that our first alert fired off or if it did not we'll open up a small opening position on a close above two dollars and fifty six cents we'll keep this active for the next five business days our alerts are set at this point in time we let the computer do the work for us trend spider will do the work for us we set it and forget it what we do here at the contrarian trader is we follow a rules based approach either it pulls back to a support level or it breaks out at some point in time those alerts will fire off and we'll make a determination based upon overall market conditions of as to whether or not we want to enter the trade other factors that are going to come into play here are seasonality what is seasonality folks for those who are not familiar we have data going back to april of 2007 which will tell us how the shares perform this time of year now looking at the seasonality going back 14 years on a monthly basis you could see that by and large with the exception of september the shares have closed up less than 50 percent of the time over that 14-year time frame let's keep something in mind though to be fair remember that these shares have been in a bear market a very serious bear market for over 10 of those years so while seasonality is important we don't want to trade solely off of seasonality it's only an arrow in our quiver a bit of information that can help support our decision of how big we want to get in a trade you can have a bullish looking stock price and if historically the shares are down on any given month that you're in that doesn't mean you should avoid opening the trade it just means that perhaps you want to be smaller in your position that way you're managing your risk now while trend spider generally has a robust list of analyst coverage in this sidebar widget here i did happen to find one analyst that was following it and this data is provided by fidelity investments and if you'd like to view this report in great detail i'll link to it on my website i'll list the link below where you can view it at your leisure but i'm going to scroll down i'm not going to spend too much time here we do have one company with data provided by revente versus with a sell opinion as of october the fifth with an equity summary score there's only one firm of very bearish issued on 10 9 by first call so with this data in mind let's talk about where i believe the share price is going longer term and what catalyst will help drive the shares either higher or lower now to arrive at both my short term and longer term opinion on ocean power technologies i'm going to use weekly charts and then a daily chart to walk you through my thought process now in terms of catalyst there is very little short interest in ocean power technology so as a short term catalyst to send the share price higher it's non-existent another concern is that you have very few analysts currently covering the stock so we don't know when a new analyst begins to cover the share price will he come out with a buy sell or hold rating or an equivalent to whatever the company uses in terms of their verbiage if they come out with a hold that means a sell so that's a concern now you might be saying you know he must be concerned about that one sell recommendation by the analysts on OPTT no it doesn't bother me the least because the worst that they could do is reiterate their sell rating which nobody's really going to care about and the best that they could do is go from a sell to a buy so what does that mean we mean it means that we could have some positive headline news if the current analyst goes from a sell to a buy but the negative is that we have potential adverse headline risk or positive risk we don't know if a new analyst begins their coverage but the analysts are the least of my concerns what is most optimistic from a longer term perspective with regards to OPTT is this let's go to a monthly chart we'll come back to the weekly chart keep in mind what the share price is doing on a monthly basis it is breaking out and what I always teach members is this is that the longer the consolidation keep in mind this is a multi-year consolidation on a monthly basis the longer the consolidation the greater the validation of any breakout so on a long-term view monthly view I'm bullish on the share price not overly aggressive but bullish on the share price on a shorter term timeframe I become a little bit more pessimistic for two reasons one technical two the election we'll talk about both now on a technical basis we closed out last week as I mentioned earlier above the third standard deviation boulder band so automatically the fact that we're trading above the third standard deviation boulder band and the fact that we had a wick shadow topping tail call it cupcakes whatever you want to call it on top of this candlestick implies to me that we're going to get a consolidation not a crash but a consolidation and when you take a look at the daily chart we closed out today on this past Friday right at resistance so do I want to buy at a resistance level not really so short term I'm cautious but cautiously optimistic what was that number two that I said earlier that was a concern about the share price the election folks if you see a Biden presidency you'll want to be long of ocean power technology now if you see a trump reelection that does not mean sell the shares it just means that you don't have the green new deal put underneath the share price as you would with the reelection of president trump so to reiterate where I long at current I would hold my position would I buy the shares longer term yes but the short term is I would wait for a pullback then initiate a new position at a support level so in closing our opinion that the contrarian trader is that the share price on a longer term basis meaning a monthly basis the trend is beginning to change from a downward sideways correction and consolidation to now the beginning of an uptrend on a short term basis would I buy the shares no not quite yet I think that short term there are a hold where I currently long but if we do get a pullback to our support level they then become a buy what are the catalysts to help drive the share price higher it won't be short covering there's very little in terms of short interest what would put a put under the share price is a Biden presidency that doesn't mean if there's a trump reelection that the share price will not move up higher the shares have been moving up higher for several months now if you take note again of when the shares begin to really take off it was the week of September the 14th when aspire capital reached an agreement with ocean power tech to purchase up to 12 and a half million shares so while we saw a nice pop since that point in time let's face it folks the shares have been moving up higher for a considerably longer period than that time frame there was probably news out in the market that there was talks on the way and the news flow out of the company turned positive from negative so my longer term call on ocean power tech bullish no matter who gets into the white house folks if you got any value out of this video if you could please hit

Prey Movie Review (2022) - Sucks It's A Hulu Exclusive!
|
The Predator is back with a prequel film called PREY. A Hulu exclusive that by the director of 10 Cloverfield Lane. I had incredibly low expectations for this movie and that was entirely based on it being a streaming exclusive. I'm very happy to report that my initial troubles washed away as soon as the film started. Prey is a worthy prequel and one of the best Predator movies to-date. The R rated survival action film has beautiful cinematography, a gripping score, a compelling lead actress and plenty of bloody Predator goodness. With a quick runtime and a great pace, Prey is an easy watch that any fan of the series should see!

We got another Predator movie. This time it's a prequel called Prey, and it's a Hulu exclusive. That's troubling. But early reviews by critics who are special enough to get sneak previews, I'm not one of them, say this movie's actually really good. Well I saw it with my family today, like a common peasant, and here are my thoughts. Let us pray. Those bastards are right, it's a damn good movie. And the reason for this is actually quite simple. Oh, okay easy, easy big fella. I will let them know. Just shut it off, thank you. Okay there's a predator off camera, and he's saying very aggressively, mind you, that you need to subscribe to my channel, Adam Does Movies, to catch all the movie reviews, news, things of that nature. Otherwise he's blowing my head off and we can't have that. Thanks, bye. Subscribe. As I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted, this is a good movie. It's short, an hour and 30 minutes long. Can you imagine? Can you imagine such a dream? It doesn't overstay its welcome. It moves at a really good pace. It's got a very likable, believable lead in the role, who's kicking ass, she's fighting for her life, she's surviving. She proves herself throughout the course of the film that she's a force to be reckoned with, one not to be trifled with all the same. Amber Midthunder is the actress who's going to go up against all the odds. She's taking on bears, there's a lion kind of rummaging around. Oh, and oh yeah, a giant predator stalking her. She's got her trusty hat shit she throws. She starts modifying it by tying a rope around Jackie Chan style. Spins it around the neck. No, she doesn't do that. It's not that over the top, but there are some great action moments in this. I also love that since this is a prequel, they can have some fun with the predator design. This alien's a little bit old school. He doesn't have the newest tech available. So he has like a medieval shield. His face shield is kind of shitty. The technology that's at his disposal doesn't work as good. It's just a simple and fresh way to take a story that we've already seen before, the survival aspect, and put a little spin on it. Give a little creativity here and there. When it was announced this would be a Hulu exclusive, every part of me died inside. I thought, well, this is getting sent out to pasture. They're unceremoniously shitting it out on this platform and they're not going to think again about it. But after seeing it, I'm even more puzzled what the point was. This is a really good movie. It's got beautiful cinematography. It's got a great captivating score. I don't think the budget was very high for this movie and that's fine. Dan knows how to squeeze out every ounce of capital he has to work with and make it look great. This guy did 10 Cloverfield Lane. A bottle movie. People trying to survive. He knows how to make it work and he does it again. This movie's rated R and it's entirely for violence. There's no nudity. Sorry, we don't get to see the Predators junk. Okay, they're saving that for the sequel probably. There's no vulgar dialogue. It's absolutely because of the unbridled violence and some of the gore we get to witness. And it's good. It's very good stuff. We have animal skinnings, things getting stabbed, things getting shot in every part of the body. Decapitation. Short for decapitation. And just an overall smattering of creative deaths. Since the budget is probably not the highest, there are some noticeable moments where the animal critters that come along are pretty fake looking. Some heavy CGI work at play doesn't always stick but then in other times it looks fantastic. Almost one to one with real life nature. And while those moments can sometimes pull you out of the film and keep in mind this is a film featuring a giant alien running around killing stuff, you get right back into it because of the performances, because of the beautiful direction, and because of the stakes. Even though they're very small, that makes it more intimate. That makes you along for the ride more. When they start to blow things up to a grandiose level, nothing feels very relatable or plausible. But when it's just one dude hunting some other dudes, yeah, okay, I can get on board that ship. Predator, I'm with you. It's a Hulu exclusive unfortunately. If you don't have the app, I'm pretty sure it's month to month. And I think it is absolutely worth watching. So pony up the 10 or 12 bucks that it costs. It's cheaper than going to a movie if you have a couple people to watch with. You're getting your money's worth. Check out Prey, drop the lights down, get the popcorn, put it on a big TV, and have a blast. My family did. We ate it up. And I guess the last thing I would say is make sure to like the video, share it around if you can. And oh, there we, there it is again. I see you. Subscribe, please. Thanks again for watching the video. If you really like what I'm doing here, maybe think about joining me on Patreon at patreon.com slash adamdosmovies. You get access to 300 plus videos there that no one else gets to see, except for also YouTube join members. That's another way you can support the show for just 4.99 a month. You become a member. You get access to a huge back catalog of videos for my second channel, which is now private. It's just for you. It's like an only fans for sophisticated people.

Half of the class of 2013, I would like to welcome everyone to this year's graduation ceremony. The activities of tonight celebrate accomplishments of these students seated before us. The past four years have been wonderful, but it is now time to move on to the next stage of life and follow where God leads each of us. Our class verse is Proverbs chapter 16 verses 3 and 9. It says, Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. These verses mean a lot to us seniors as we are getting ready to move on to the next step of our lives. Verse 3 talks about committing to the Lord. This means that the level of commitment has to be the full 100%, not just a small amount. By fully relying on God and putting Him in control of our lives, we can praise Him in all that we do, whether it is school, work, sports, or relationships. Another part of the verse talks about God establishing plans. For some of us, we have no clue what is going to happen in the next three months. This thought is terrifying, but by fully relying on God, our lives will be used to glorify Him and complete His purpose for us. Verse 9 says, In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Some of us may think we have our lives all planned out, from college to marriage and work. These plans can change instantaneously, and it may not be to our liking. One of us could land a dream job, but God can change that if it is not a part of His bigger plan. We can plan out our lives and our minds, but they will not always turn out as we hope. And that is life. Life is full of happiness and joy, but also full of disappointments. That is why we are blessed to have a God who loves and cares for us at all times. Now, I would like to thank all who have helped us come this far. I would first like to thank the parents for dealing with us for 18 years, for loving us and for spending the extra money to send us to this great school. Next I would like to thank all of our different churches. While our Christians schooling during the week and church on the weekend, we have learned to view the world with a Christian perspective and have learned how to treat others and respond to different situations in life. I would now like to thank all of the staff at this school. Over the four years we have been here, you have spent all extra hours teaching and explaining to us things we didn't understand. Above all, you incorporated Christianity into every subject, from science to math and even to gym. Thank you for the Biblical worldview that we can now use as we go off on our own. It is tough trying to fit in the world, and that is why God does not want us to become a part of it. He gave each and every one of us our own special gifts. Some are good at art, some at math, and others at caring for others. By following God's plan for our lives and using our gifts to glorify Him, we can have a positive Christian impact in the world around us. Let's pray. Dear Lord, thank you for this day that you have given us, that we can gather here in celebration of the seniors and the work they did to accomplish high school graduation. We pray that as we go our separate ways, you will give us the guidance we need so that in everything we do, we give you all of the glory. Thank you for our parents, our churches, our school, and the gifts you gave each of us. We give you all of the glory tonight. In Jesus' name, amen. Seniors, on behalf of the junior class, I would like to congratulate you on your achievement this far. Tonight, we can celebrate your life's success to this point. Your class has shown excellence in many areas, and I'm sure you'll continue to do that in the future. Although we celebrate the past tonight, I want you to consider your future. Most of you have been influenced by Christian schools almost your entire life. You have had parents, teachers, coaches that you have depended on all the way, whether you wanted them to or not. From this point forward, many of you will be on your own with your own decisions to make. Christian schools have instilled a foundation that you will always build yourself upon. As you leave our small Christian community, you will have the opportunity to be a light to those around you. No matter where you go to school or what you choose to do after high school, you will be confronted with many challenges. Ephesians 3, 16 through 18 says, I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through his spirit and your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the Lord's holy people to grasp how wide, how long, how deep is the love of Christ. We've been taught how to learn and lead with Christ as our focus. I hope that you continue what you have done and accomplished here at SECHS and whatever you do in the future. Find Christian friends and continue leading for the glory of God. Be a light to those who do not know the Lord. And again, congratulations, and the juniors and I wish you the best in your future. Dear class of 2013, friends, family, faculty, staff, and board members, well, here it is, graduation day, a day that we've all been looking forward to for a long time. Some of us have even been counting down the days left of school since we were sophomores. Jared, I think you were the one who did that. However, a day such as this also allows us the opportunity to look back. I remember that first day of school with Mrs. Tenhoer. I reflect on the friends who started that very first day with me and are here still tonight. Vanessa, Grant, Andy, BJ, Alex, also known as Lexie, Lexie Lee, Alexandria, and even Queen, according to your mom. I never quite understood it, but Alex, you always enjoyed changing your name on us. I also remember friends who moved or chose other schools. I think of how Usper Christian was always known as our biggest rival. One of our main goals was to beat OCS at any sporting event. I don't know exactly when this all changed, but those same rivals eventually became our very close friends when we all joined forces as one class. Instead of wanting to beat OCS, we all agreed and changed our focus to beat the Flying Dutchman and women of Usper. I think back to all the wonderful teachers and administrators that I have had the privilege of knowing. I attribute my love of math to Mrs. Leo, who explained how math surrounds us everywhere and every day. I know that my love of science came from Mr. Van Drunen. Who can ever forget when Mr. Van Drunen jumped on the table to grab our attention? Mr. Van Drunen also taught his students how to live for the Lord in everything we do. Mr. Van Drunen, you are still my role model today. Thinking way back to grade school, I remember Mrs. Endringa and her love for reading. I also remember Mrs. Endringa's funny sense of humor and her go with the flow attitude. Any one of us would be mortified to show up for school to work with two different shoes on, but not Mrs. Endringa. I also had the privilege of having Mr. Novus as my fourth grade teacher and later our principal. Mr. Novus, thank you for all you've done to help us along the way. You never hesitated, you never gave up hope on any of us, and you realize that every journey begins with a single step. We all want to wish you and your family God's blessings in your next journey. High school was no different. The teachers and staff here at SCCHS have all been exceptional. Mr. Geshe, I'll miss all of your family tree stories. I've come to realize that quite possibly every member of this class is related to each other somehow. Mr. Bulkama, you further enhance my love of math and I'll never forget cramming into your car for the Lakeland College math meet. Mr. Decker, we will all miss your deep voice that we all tried so hard to imitate. Mr. Endringer, well, what can I say? You always wore matching shoes. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Vendamelin for her work with the AFS program and all of those families who accepted foreign exchange students into their homes and lives. Throughout high school, we've all been blessed with many wonderful students from foreign lands who share their culture with us. These are lasting friendships and experiences that we will never forget. And through Facebook, it never seems like we're that far away. This is the last time that we as a class will be together. This next step in our lives can be a scary one as we leave the support structure of SCCHS. While reading my Bible recently, Joshua 1.9 caught my attention. Joshua writes, be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. One thing that I know about the SCCHS class of 2013 is that we never backed down from a challenge. We may not always win our games against Usberg, but we never give up. I don't know if it's our strong Dutch German heritage or what it is, but we are a determined bunch. Certainly life will throw us curveballs. We have our strong biblical teaching, our strong foundation based upon his teaching that will help us weather any storm. I'm not sure how we will get to where we need to be, how we will achieve our dreams, but I do know that we will know how to do it and we won't give up, and that's the important thing. We all have unique paths that the Lord is leading us to. Some will go into the workforce, the military, technical school, or college, but we will forever share one common theme, the one thing that binds us together forever, wherever we go, and that's our Christian faith. I'd like to take this moment to thank my parents. I know that it wasn't easy sending me to Christian schools. I know that you've sacrificed a lot for me and for that, I'm extremely grateful. My parents, like all of your parents, realize the importance of Christian education. Fancy cars will rust, homes are subject to fire or flood. Money can be lost, stolen, or taxed, but no one can ever take away our Christian education. We've all grown through these formidable years. Some have dealt with job or family loss or family member illness. Whatever challenges we faced or are going to face, we have the knowledge that God will never leave us or forsake us. He's right beside us, gently guiding our path. May you have every success on your unique path. May you work hard, may you hold your head high. May our paths still cross from time to time, and may you go with all your heart. It's an excellent testimony to this school and to the dedication of the parents and supporters of this school after students just introduced our ceremony that way with those beautiful speeches. Every year at Christian High, our school culture is infused with other cultures through the program of AFS, and this year was no different. We had the pleasure, in fact, the privilege to have two AFS students this year, Nathaniel Cooper from Liberia and Lucas Neves from Brazil. These are two class act individuals, and they have been fun to be around. I invite them up now to share some of their stories with us. I bring you greetings from my family back home. They are very happy for me and the beautiful guys, and they say thanks very much. School board, principals, members of the teaching staff, schools administration, parents, AFS representative, graduating class, students, friends, distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Firstly, I'm very grateful to God for giving me life today because we have thousands of people out there, or thousands of people who couldn't have life today. And to the organizers of this program, for giving me the time and opportunity to be part of it. Thank you very much. Just to share my experience with you, when I was in Liberia, I have dreamed about coming to the U.S. and it was one morning, doing an exam at the end of 2011. We got an announcement about coming to the U.S. to study for a one-year program. So that day I went home and I told my mother about it. She being a very great woman, she encouraged me to say apply. And I just had a feeling that my long-awaited dream to visit the U.S. has arrived. It was a challenge. So I decided to apply because I want to experience all the part of the world. I want to experience America people talk about. I want to experience the life of American. I want to experience the government, the history. What is the history behind America? So when I decided to apply, I was selected from my school along with hundreds of students from our city. And we were selected to do the test called Secondary Level English Proficiency Test. This test consisted of all what you have to list in the tip and you answer questions and comprehension and essay writing. So after the test, I was the only student so separate from my school. I joined students from other high schools. We take our challenge to another level. At this time, we had a series of interviews. We had representation from our government, representation from the American Embassy, and representation from the AFS Yes Program. So we went through all these interviews, writing essay, talking to people to prove we are direct representation of our country. At the end again, being guided by the Holy Spirit of the Lord, I was selected. Not because I'm good, I'm the coolest kid, I know everything, but because of God, I was selected. Along with five other students from different high schools and we decided to take on this journey for 10 months. Coming to America, I feel like I should go beyond my comfort zone. I should go out of the area, I come from school, I hang out with friends. This is not bad for me. I can ask my parents for data and sin and I'm having a good time, but I feel I should go somewhere where it is new to me and I'll experience more. But after my decision, after my decision, I also had a belief that even though America is a developed country, but it is not safe that I was a stepping stone for me. It didn't stop me. Since America is not safe, stay right here. It makes me to say, go and experience how it's like. And I thought it was not safe because watching an American movie back in Liberia, you'll see the guys in club shooting guns. Yeah, so I just felt the environment was not safe. But coming to America and spending 10 months changed everything. It changed a lot of things about me and I learned a lot about America. I learned about the day-to-day activities of Americans. I learned about the history. I learned about the government and the most important thing, the respect and appreciation for diversity that I thought was very important. You don't see that everywhere in the world today. Even for my country, people don't see you along the road, facing problems and want to stop for you. So I thought it was important. And I also learned a lot more that I can take to Liberia today when I get in Liberia, I can impact the lives of others. We have an AFS saying, I say this, a mind that I've been stressed. Never return to it's original shape. You might say, what that means? Yeah, but in a true sense, that is from my experience. I was like this and getting to know more people, doing a lot of stuff, my minds became like this. And to come back like this, it is not just possible in a day. So going back home is like starting another new experience. But at this time, you have advantage. You have advantage to impact the lives of others. And one thing about this experience, it changed my understanding of things. It changed my understanding of religion. It changed the way I perceive people and the knowledge I acquire in a short period of time. It's remarkable. And coming to Christian High, I had a chance to play on a soccer and basketball team and also being part of the drama team. We had a great time together. We had some rock and roll. Yeah. But it was a new environment for me because back home, I come from school and I have more time. I go to the YMCA, I hang out with friends. We have our own little radio station. I can talk on it and people hear me around, friends know me. I don't have to play sport before people know me. Yeah. So coming to the school and getting involved in the sports, it makes me to know people more every day. And it makes me to have good times of then. I also had great times with families and friends. It was amazing. Back home, I heard people talking about snow. Yeah, I read about snow in book. Yeah. But coming to America to experience snow, to play in a snow. Oh my gosh. It's like the most valuable thing. Just to experience snow. Because it's like different things from your planet. Yeah. So I thought that was cool. I also had a lot of great memories with friends. And I'd just like to take this time to share some of them with you. When I want to explain everything, we must sleep here tonight. So we might just leave me then. The first one was our senior retreat. It's like playing in a senior retreat at the beginning of the school. Nothing good than that. Because it got me to know everyone. And it makes me to have some of the good experience for the first time. Like water skiing, ziplining, rock climbing, horseback riding, back home. I didn't do these things. But coming to experience then, it was great for me. And I just want to share this one with you. Maybe some of you have heard about it. It was once I had a time with AFF friends. With AFF friends. We went skiing. Yeah. Maybe some of you have heard about it. So some of you guys from Norway, from Germany, and pretty much they have snow. Yeah. They have snow, they have experienced these things. And I didn't know we are friends, but for that side, we are not the same. Yeah. So one of these guys, we learned how to ski for a little bit. I have confidence in myself that I can do it. So I thought, you guys, get in on the bucket to go to another level. Why skiing? I joined them, we went. The first introduction to get out of the bucket, I feel. Yeah. So I got off. I thought it was just a mistake so I can make it. Yeah. So when I look at the hill, I got to come down a hill before going home. Yeah. But how can I get down if I don't know how to ski? I stood up like this, trying to balance myself. Yeah. I balance myself and I stood for long. These guys went down the first time. They couldn't see me in the group so they knew something went wrong. They came back and decided to ask me what's wrong. I paused a little bit and I said, I'm trying, yeah. I'm trying. So they encouraged me to do it. And if I couldn't do it, I couldn't come down. Yeah, I could stay up. There's no other means you can come down. You have to ski to come down. I took a rest because I got to get home. And when I came down, like it if I mean, I fell at the end. Yeah. So I said, that was cool. It's not too bad. Yeah. No pain. I got up again. And this time I went on the bucket again. Yeah. I came down. I tried to get a break because it was my first time. I couldn't get a break. But this time I didn't fall. I kept going like I supposed to stop here. I went to the NPR. Yeah. And I stopped there. So from then on, I tried to help myself and I did it twice or more than three times. I got used to it. And I thought it was a memory that I can't forget about. It was cool. I want to use this time to say thank you to everyone. You guys are great. I can't just, I can't believe it. I can't believe it. How you guys have the time because of God to talk to me, to accept me in your school. I want to use this opportunity to just recognize few people, to get this family. I want to say things for opening your home to me. You treated me as one of your own. It was great with you. And to you, Caleb, and Toby, I just want to say thanks. You guys are great. We had a lot of good times together. Thank you. I also want to look at the Hendricks. Thank you very much. Again, for opening your home to me. And you are always there for me. Thank you. To all of our good teachers. Seriously, it was good that I came to America because the teachers' and students' relationship is 100% different from a country. And you guys do a great job with students. Thank you. Just to recognize few teachers. To you, Mr. Gash, your short stories like Richard Corey. All these stories when I read them, I was in this direction, and it turned me like this. I don't know why it happened, but those stories, if you read them, it sent a different signal to your mind. It makes you to think different. Thank you very much. To you, Mr. Vidivie, I saw you. Thank you very much. Getting part of your class' second semester, it was a giant step for me. I think you remember my first presentation, and you told me about it. When I entered his class' first day, I learned a lot from his talking. And I knew I could use him to move to another level. And with all his fun, his teaching is Christ Center. Thank you, Mr. Venable. And I could call all the teachers and list all the great things about you guys. But you guys are great. Yeah. Our AFS volunteers, in the school and out of the school, I can't believe you guys do all the things free. If you have them, how much do you make a month? They tell you nothing. Yeah. And I'm kind of bored to ask some of them, how much do you make with AFS? They tell you nothing. Yeah. And to do all the great things, you are there every time to make sure everything went right with me. To you, Cindy, I don't know if she's here. I just want you to recognize her. She's a great lady, and she's there for students. To you, Mr. Andrew Gad. To you, Mr. Kendricks. All of you work with students in the school, talk to them, and make sure everything is well. To our parents, well, I go play soccer, I go play basketball, and all the people just clap it for me. Yeah, all the parents just keep clapping for me. Thank you very much. Some of them, I don't know if I can recognize them, but it takes pictures for me and it's send them to me. You guys did a very good job. And to you, the photographer of the year, Mrs. Eva. She did a great job for me. And when I'm doing a book, a photo book, she got to get a recognition in the book because she did a lot of great pictures for me. Thank you. To our coaches, I can see Coach Mac there. Yeah, he's smiling. I can see Coach Dagger and all the other people. You guys brought a Christian discipline in sports. Even though we had some rough time, as I said earlier, but you guys turned over a Christian's perspective. Telling us, things will be fine. Thank you, Coach Philipsy. And to our drama director, Mrs. Rasketa. Where is she? Oh. OK. Hi. She is a fabulous lady. I don't know if that's a good word to use, but she's fabulous. She was a director and a friend to me. Every time we meet after practice, she tells me one of two great words. I just rest in my heart and I feel it was OK. Things was fine. Thank you, Mrs. Rasketa. And lastly, to our awesome student body. Thank you, guys, that I mentioned. To those of you who are concerned, speaking to me down the hall, calling my name, or just looking at me, you made an impact in my life. Give me a rise here and there. Thank you. Before I take my seat, I know I'm a little bit boring, but I would like to remind you that a Chinese program is a life in a year, and not a year in a life. It's like a big life experience within a year time, instead of just one year in your life. And to our parents again, we want you to consider opening your homes to that poor exchange student. You make their life complete. You make them experience different things. You don't believe it because you are in America, but coming from out there and experiencing this is different. So please open your homes to our exchange students. And you also have the opportunity to learn about the culture, to learn about the country, and to our students. I can say I've been to a lot of countries in West Africa and America and Germany. America is too small to limit you. This world is too small to limit you to America. You got to grab the opportunity. Someone said, go on an exchange program. He said, I don't want to go on an exchange program. I'm satisfied with my home. But take the challenge. Get out there. Grab the opportunities. Get that great moments and experience all of part of our global village. It is awesome. Have a nice day. I love you all, but Christ loves you the best. Hey, guys. I don't think you can speak in English right now. I'm going to try. This might seem a little silly, but it is true. My exchange program was, in a sense, like I was being born again. I got to learn how to talk. Yep, I still learning. I got to know my new family. Those were always here for me. I got to make new friends that would laugh at my accent and ask nonsense questions about what we have in Brazil and not. I got to find new hobbies and find out that the bears are not cool at all. Packers. And I even got to learn how to walk again. Do you know how hard it is to walk in Sheboygan when the streets are covered with ice? It's really hard. But I found out that there is no problem if you fall and break your thumb and pop your ankle and fracture your eye because there will always be someone there to lift you up and put you back on track. So I just want to thank you, all those who gave me a little hand, a word of encouragement, even without knowing it. I want to thank the Christian High School for helping me to find a way. And all teachers and school clerk that helped me along the year, especially Mr. Decker and Mr. Gash, that put up with me in more than one class and showed me another side of the US. I want to thank you, the AFS group that guided me and helped me to make the most out of this exchange program, especially Sandy and Sharon. And their families that provided me great moments here. Thank you very much. And I also want to thank my soccer coach, Dr. Philips, and my Jiu-Jitsu master, Jeff, who gave a pinche of Brazil to my year. And finally, my family. I don't even know how to start. They are responsible for the greatest changes that happened during this year. Without them, I would not be able to get through all those depressive winter mornings. I would not realize how big an American heart could be. I would not break so many stereotypes and think that the world is much bigger than just Brazil. I would never have thought that we could get along so well as we did to really feel at home so far away from my tiny little town. I want to thank them for this wonderful year. My mom, Karen, for her love, help, and great life together. My dad, Carl, for a huge patience, life changing lessons, and more patience. My brothers, Grant, and Garrett, for accepting me so well as part of the family, and for some memories that we never forget. For all the relatives that treated me as part of the family for years. And I also thank to all those I should say here, but I can't mention because of lack of time. So thank you all, guys. Hello, seniors. It is my amazing privilege to stand before you. And many of you I have stood before one way or another for years and years. Some of you from the time you were in twos and threes at our church drew before that. And to see you have grown to this point, to be adults, to be ready to face this world, to be ready to be launched, whether we're ready to launch you or not, is an incredible privilege. So I truly thank God for the opportunity. You will hear many of your classmates and others who have people address them over the course of the next days and weeks at this graduation season who say things like, it's time to be independent. It's time to grow up. It's time to set your heart on dreams. As you have dreams in your heart, you can accomplish anything that you put your heart and mind to. YOLO, be young and have fun. All of those messages to high school graduates have a place and a time. All of them struggle because they mingle in error with truth. And graduates, as you face this moment, I want you to know you cannot do anything you set your mind to. It's just not true. I don't think any one of you is going to be a professional baseball player. I don't think any one of you is, and we can make a list of things that maybe none of you will be able to do. Francis, I love you. If you set your heart to play the NBA, it's just not going to happen, my friend. You can't do anything you want to do. And I do not want you to leave this place and tell yourself, whatever I want to do with my life can happen if I just believe in it enough and if I just try hard enough. It's not true. But as we have heard the Bible open to us and we've heard your life first, we can hear what is true and we can hear what is possible as you seniors, you graduates, give your life over to Christ. The verse that was read for us, by the way, we could just probably listen to what Andy said. And I could just cut these short and we could just move on. But I'm going to go ahead and take a few more minutes, if you don't mind. The senior class verse, commit to the Lord whatever you do. Your plans will succeed. In the heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. The first part of that in Proverbs chapter 16 says that commit to the Lord whatever you do. Graduates, commit to the Lord. It carries with it a lot of weight. This concept is to relinquish control of your life, to render to the Lord, to relinquish everything, to entrust yourself to him. If you're not careful, you could read these words and you could make yourself believe that if you just pray a prayer, that is, say out loud in your bedroom tonight, Lord, you have full control of my life, right? And then you walk away and live how you want to live. You could make yourself believe that God owes you something, that because you prayed some prayer and said, OK, I'm going to honor the Lord with my life, that now the Lord owes you happiness, comfort, peace, money, the Lord owes you some kind of amazing life. That's not what this passage says. Lord doesn't owe me anything, and he doesn't owe you anything either. But here is what it does say, to relinquish control of your life is success. To give up your way, your desire, your dream. And when your dream becomes God's dream for your life, that's success. That's what we want for you. Listen, across this nation, people will graduate and people will pursue academics, pursue your academics as far as the Lord leads you. Go do it, all right? We want to see amazing, amazing results through your academic achievements. But guys, there are some things that you cannot commit to the Lord. Did you know that? Some things you cannot commit to the Lord. If you have rebellion in your heart and you hear the voice of the Lord telling you to follow after him and you refuse, you can't commit that to the Lord. That's not interesting, your life to the Lord. That's saying, I relinquish control of my life, but I'm going to do what I want to do. And families, as we sit here surrounding these amazing graduates, we are here to announce to them that relinquishing control of our life was the best thing that we've ever done. Here's another thing, though. You can't commit to the Lord. Disobedience. Samson found that out. He talked about following the Lord. He said the words about following the Lord. But you know what he did? He did what he wanted to do with his life. He didn't commit his way to the Lord. And students, we are here today to tell you that committing your life, relinquishing control of your life, not quite knowing what the next step of your life, it's really OK. Nathaniel stood up here and said, well, I don't know how I'm going to get to this big plan of God for my life. This verse says how you're going to get there. Commit to the Lord whatever you do. That is relinquish control of your life and give your heart to him. Let him order your steps day by day. Now I have heard said that it's boring to be a Christian. It's boring to follow the Lord all the way like that. These places of advice is be young and have fun. These are your college years to do with what you want. Graduates, I have heard it say, look, this is my time. This is my time to experience all of those things. To experience YOLO. YOLO just means for all of us who don't know, you only live once. I think you probably all over tracking with that. But this concept of go grab the gusto because life only comes once, do what pleases you. Say you want to follow the Lord because you came from a Christian school. But do what you want to do. It is not boring to follow the Lord. It is not boring to relinquish control of your life fully to him. He does not have boring plans for your life. God's dreams for you are bigger than any dreams or any desires that you have for yourself. God's dreams for you are more fulfilling than chasing any of the dreams that you have for yourself. God's dreams for you are more exciting than any of the hopes, the adrenaline that this world has to offer. God's dreams, if you will, for your life are more soul satisfying than any dreams that you can have about the way you think your life should turn out. His dreams include amazing steps of faith. His dreams are better than medical careers, although maybe a medical career is in your future. His dreams are better than cars and paid off mortgages, though maybe that's in your future, we hope so. His dreams are better than that. God's plan for your life has to do with changing this world as you relinquish control. Guys, in the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve the perfect environment to live in, and we messed it up, and we have inherited that rebellion. We walk away from God every chance we get. God's dream for your life is to restore the relationship so that you can walk for a vapor, just a vapor with him. So I asked a bunch of you, all of you actually, I think, what is your dream? What is your success? What is your definition of success in your life? I'm not gonna read them all. Alex Ables, he's first alphabetically, and I got her a response. So success is salvation. Everything else is just God's graciousness manifested. Nathaniel Cooper, success is when I accomplish what the Lord has called me to do. I'll just pick out one more. Emma Markham. My personal great life goal is to use my God-given talents to glorify him and touch other people with my gifts. I love connecting with others, and I hope to use my future career as a pathway into others' lives in a positive and memorable way. I could go on and on. You have definitions of success, and that's great. Proverbs definition of success is restoring a relationship with God and then walking in that relationship for life. Listen, guys, if statistics bear it out, you're gonna change careers four or five times. You're gonna change majors two or three times. That's what statistics say. I celebrate where you're at. I celebrate what you're gonna do going on to the next step, and I hope that many of you are on the path that is the path that you wind up realizing. That is that you're studying right now what you're gonna study for life. That'd be great if that's the case. But if those dreams change and if those things change, God has a better and a bigger and a more beautiful plan as you entrust your future to him. Here's the greatest plan. Think about it, Garden of Eden. What is God's plan for Adam and Eve? He says, listen, I bring the man, I bring the woman to the man. I want you to oversee this created world I made, and I want you to be fruitful and multiply. That's a great dream. It is a great dream. I stand here before high school graduates, boys and girls, and telling you if your great dream should be that when you get to the end of your life, you're surrounded by a group of people that you have pledged your life to, that you have raised children and you've been faithful to one person for life because that is God's intention. I don't know all of God's will for you, class of 2013, but this I do know, God's will is for your sanctification. That is that if we could write in one sentence, what is success in your life, it is you becoming more like Jesus every day of your life from this day until the day you go to be with him. That would be success. And some of you will be painters, and some of you will be singers, and some of you will be biomedical engineers. I've got to look that up. Some of you will have those careers you set out there, and that's great, but God cares a lot less about your career than he does about your character. Christian High, we want to send academics out. We want to send smart people out. We want to send passionate people out. We want to send Christ followers out who give up any hold on their life and say, look, I'm just going to commit my way to you, Lord. As you commit your life to the Lord, we're going to close in just a moment. The Lord determines your steps and he's touched on this. We've got a dream and we're setting out with the Lord and we want to obey him and please him, and the Lord sends amazing hiccups in our way that we never planned for. Life struggles that are hard and that we didn't see coming, and we told ourselves, if I commit myself to the Lord, he will make me successful, and my definition of success, and we've got it written out about money and health and happiness and comfort. Daniel set out to follow the Lord and he set out to follow the Lord within the context of his family and his friends, and the Lord brought trouble. And a foreign king came in and took him away from his family. You're about to go away from your families, many of you, whether to the workforce or to the military or to college. And by force, Daniel was removed from his home guys in Daniel chapter one, and he purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself as he went away. Here's some things that are true about Daniel. His big group of friends became very small, very fast. If you go to college and try to adopt a little Jesus with your dreams saying, be young and have fun, and you go for the purpose of excitement and fun, I am telling you, worlds will collide when you get there, because you cannot have the life that the world is promising you and Jesus at the same time, you can't. Daniel had, he could have won and had the life that the world had for him as Nebuchadnezzar said, hey listen, do what I want you to do, I'll give you everything, I'll give you anything. It's all for you, you are the best and the brightest, and guys, you are the best and the brightest. Daniel purposed in his heart, he was not gonna defile himself, and his friend group got small, and his Friday nights got very, very lonely. In fact, he was all by himself, and he purposed in his heart, and he was gonna follow God. God brought a friend, three friends, who would stand with him. And God's dreams for Daniel was not that he would have fun and connect with the Nebuchadnezzar guys and the Chaldeans and the folks around. No, it was not about that. God's dream for Daniel's life was that he would go into this foreign land and stand up for his name, and the name of God was announced around the globe because Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. That's success. His career plans changed. His family relationships that he thought would always be intact, and he thought he would always have these happy little dreams, and he thought it would always be cool, changed. His thoughts about what success is changed, but the big picture never changed. He purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself, and God used his life from that day to this day to inspire you and to inspire me. Guys, as we are about to watch you walk across the stage and enjoy this graduation, and watching you and celebrating with you, I know it's been a long time. I apologize for that. We are with you. We are proud of you. We do not want you to be torn from our arms and brought to a foreign place and forced to serve foreign gods, and if that happened somehow, some way, we would want you to devote yourself to the Lord. Follow him one step at a time, even if your Friday nights get lonely, and even if your friend group gets tiny, and even if there's only one or two other people that will serve the Lord with you, we bless you. You have blessed us in amazing ways if we watch you grow up. This world will be changed, not because you're medical doctors, not because you are a therapist, not because you're social workers. All those things are great, but because you commit yourself to the Lord's plan for your life, you raise godly kids, and you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus with everything you got, even if a career changes, and even if your major changes. We love you. Go with God. Board President Black, would you join me up here to handle some diplomas? Alexandria Lee Abel. Jennifer Mary Anderson. Patrick Royal Bolden. Benjamin Jacob Broxma. Nathaniel Zena Cooper. Samantha Ann. Ethan Brock Demaster. Jared John Vanderwill Denning. Steven Domus. Caitlin Rachelle Flipsy. Andrew Jackson McDonald. Emma Kate Markham. Olivia Yannette Mark. Joshua Levi Moebrick. Lobo Alcantara-Navet. Cassandra Joy Ringel. Deanna Lynn Rokouskis. Cherith Brooke Tau. Richard J. Wolvert. Frances Marie Windsor. Father, some are going to counterforce the service to our country. Others will be headed back to the respective countries to do the same. Whatever they're calling, Father, help them to realize that it is ever through prayer and your guidance along the way. Father, bless them and keep them in your care. Parents that choose to send their children to Christian High. Father, sinners and as parents, we realize that our children need to have a view of the world that is biblical in all things. That our children need to see your glory. And not just what we learn in church, but in science, math, literature, all studies, and yes, Father, even art. Father, we thank you for the staff. They truly are unbelievable. Thank you for their faith, their leadership, and their patience. Continue to bless them, Father, and work in their, and in their lives. And last, Father, we ask you to be with, again, with Schwoed and County Christian High School, continue to bless the school and bless everything about it. Father, we ask you to be with those that are moving away from us, be with the novice family, and the Walshers as they serve a new chapter in their life. Father, continue to bless them as well. And it's in your son's precious name, right? Amen.

So today we're going to have some fun because we are going to point out the top 10 types of medical students that you're bound to find in medical school. Let's get into it. Alright guys, what is going on? Luxury for them? The journey helping you succeed on your medical journey with life stress. Today I'm super excited to bring you a video where I break down the top 10 types of medical students that you're bound to experience and interact with while as a medical student. So hopefully you guys agree with my top 10. If there is a style or a personality that I missed, make sure you share in the comment section down below and also let me know in the comment section down below who is the best person on this list to interact with and who's like the worst, the absolute worst. But before we get to the top 10 list, make sure you smash that like button, help this video as well as the channel to better on the YouTube algorithm and consider subscribing if you haven't already because we're putting out videos twice a week for people just like you. So let's get into it. So let's get to number one and that is the Type A Gunner. These are the students who just pride themselves on getting a 4.0 and if they have a 4.0 they are going to show it off like a YouTuber with their 100,000 subscriber plaque and Instagramer who has abs, good looking food or a limbo is just everywhere in your face. So tips on how to deal with a student is just to stay away, like stay away because the only kind of aid that this person wants is first aid and the only step that they see on a staircase is step one. Hopefully you guys like that one. So now getting into our next personality type, the complainer. So we all have a bit of this in us but there is a particular type of student who has a little bit like too much. Everything sucks in their life. Class was canceled, class was rescheduled, the test was too hard, the test was too easy, that professor sucked, that professor was so good that I think they suck. It feels like the world is going to end in this person and after being around them so much the only thing that you find yourself complaining about is them. So that's when you know that you are dealing with a complainer. So next up is Mr. or Mrs. Popular. These are the people that are always getting the hey, what's up, head nod down the hallway and you secretly hope that when you pass by them in the library that they also just like briefly acknowledge you and maybe talk to you. Just like when a celebrity touches your hand and you just don't want to wash it, you just kind of like feel good the rest of the day, you're like, yeah, he talked to me today. And they're also obnoxiously good looking and likeable. So it's like this mixture of like, damn dude, you suck, but let's hang out. All right, next up is the social butterfly. These are the people who are always organizing your events for your class. It's like happy hours at one, let's do bowling, let's try this new restaurant and the reason you put your phone on mute is these types of individuals. But honestly, you also turn it on because, you know, they're always active and when you need some friends, these are the people that you turn to. Personality number five is the never around student. These are the individuals who sleep in, who study from home, who seem like they're always in the pajamas for whatever reason, never in their white coats, you've never seen them in their scrubs. They basically just show up for test day. And you wish you could describe and get to know them better, but after the test, they're like gone and disappeared until the next one. So personality number six, the how does you even get accepted to medical school student? Now, I know that seems harsh, but let's be honest, every person, every med school has one of these. And these are often the students who seem like they're never trying or just don't know what's going on. It seems like they always have a sketchy night the night before. And I'm not talking about sketchy medical there, but you hope they get their act together. You may want to help them by like showing them this channel and telling them to hit the like button and subscribe button. But they just need some help. But honestly, it's like best of luck to them and may the odds be ever your favorite. So personality number seven is your professional juggler. These are the individuals who feel like they're just doing everything. These are your class presidents. They're always a top student. They have perfect skin. They're always in the gym. They're always smiling. They're always eating a salad. You're like, who are you? Like, I want to be you, hashtag goals. And if you're thinking, huh, I'm not sure who that would be in my class. It's probably you, you know, you're so nauseatingly humble. Everyone around you needs sobering, but you're just good at everything. Everyone wants to be you. Congratulations. So the next one is honestly one of my favorites. And that's your black cloud and your white cloud students. So your white clouds are students who seem everything seems to be going well for them. Rotations are always easier. They get like nice vacations and they always luck out. Your black clouds are the people that always get the tough attendings, the tough evaluations, patients. And things always seem to hit the fan. And honestly, you can be a weather forecaster when you can just look up if the student is on a rotation with you and if they are, good luck to you too. Now, personality number nine is your future fill in the blank. These are your individuals who just tell you from day one, I really want to be a orthopedic surgeon. I really want to be a plastic surgeon. Really want to become a dermatologist. And they just like whisper it in your ears. It's like hot. Like when they walk by, they say hi. And they're always wearing their scrubs. They're always reminding you of the specialty that they want to go into. And it's good when they actually pick the field and it's match day, you're like, you stuck to it. Good for you. But when they don't, it's like super awkward. So personality number 10 is your all around sane friend. This is the person who does well ever so often. Also struggles, seems to complain, but also can hear your complaints. And occasionally he or she may just end up making a video about the nine other types of personalities in med school. Hopefully you guys think I'm one of the sane ones. All right guys, hopefully you guys enjoyed this video. If you feel like I missed a med school trade or personality, make sure you comment down below and maybe we can do a part two on anything I miss.

Make Systems Programming Great Again - Singapore Rustaceans
|
Speaker: Omer Iqbal
Segfaults, Buffer Overflows, Data Races and Memory Leaks cross over unprotected memory with ease. They steal our jobs, crash our code, cause vulnerabilities in openssl. We need to be tough. The liberals from C and C++ have kept these borders open for too long. It's time to build a wall...
Rust is a systems programming language designed for speed, safety, concurrency and hype. It features a radical memory model that gives YOU control, rather than those pesky garbage collectors, while still maintaining compile time safety gurantees.
This talk will introduce Rust, focusing on the fabled memory model, the motivations behind its design and the consequences.

How many of you have tried out Rust? That's not bad, great. That makes my top more or less useless. But for those of you who haven't, hopefully this will give you guys a brief intro into what Rust is about. This talk is not a tutorial into Rust. It's more of a, I will cover the same features of Rust that I find interesting. And maybe we can have further discussion on that. And a disclaimer here is that I'm not an expert. I only started learning Rust recently. So if you guys see any mistakes, feel free to point them out. And to guys who are from a CC++ background who feel superiority complex, feel free to air it out as well. It'll be quite fun. So let's start the talk. So how many of you do systems programming at work? Okay, I only see like a few hands. You know why, right? Because it sucks right now, right? Why does it suck? Oh, yeah. Just before I go there, just a bit about me. My name is Omar. I work as an iOS developer at Kareena. I don't do systems programming languages. Systems programming at work either. So I can't blame anyone. So the reason why it sucks is, it's quite deep, but I'll give you a clue. How many of you know what this is? How many of you know what this is? Yes, it's quite cool. It's a bug with a logo. Like how many of your bugs have logos? Like I don't suppose anyone has a bug with a logo. Well, you might. So you work on security. You might have bugs with logos. But that's not the only bug with a logo. A bit more information about those who have not heard of Heartbleed. Heartbleed is a bug in OpenSSL. And this bug basically results from a very simple reason. The simple reason is there's a buffer override happening that exposes some data that allows an attacker to basically break the encryption and get access to the data you should not have access to. It's quite a simple issue if you think about it. But the fact that this issue occurs in OpenSSL, a library that's been open for so long and has been read it through so many times, this is something that's slightly alarming. And it tells you something is not right with the state of things. And this is not the last security bug, right? I mean, for those of you who follow security matters, there's new CVs coming out every few months, like big ones every day, I believe, for you. You have to bring them out. It's your job, right? So, I mean, there's this one, Shell Shock. It's also not a bug with a logo. You might have heard of it. It was quite hot a few years ago. There's this Good-of-Fail. Do you guys have a Good-of-Fail? It's a very famous bug in Apple, Apple's implementation. Pretty funny bug. There's this thing called Sandworm. It's apparently the effects of Windows systems. And the point is that we have a lot of vulnerabilities in these common essential systems-level libraries that we all use all the time. Why is it so? Why isn't it that these libraries are completely correct and valid for us to use? These kinds of issues. And if you boil it down, right? It boils down to the fact that the languages that these libraries and frameworks are implemented in give you a lot of control. They let you do almost everything. They give you too much freedom. And here's a quote I have from the creator of C++, who essentially says that C++ makes it quite easy to shoot yourself in the foot. When you do it, it'll actually blow your whole leg off because it's that powerful. You're basically driving with no safety. I have another quote here from another great philosopher of the 20th century. All the guys might know him. His name is Uncle Ben. Uncle Ben says with great power comes great bugs, because, once again, because you have so much control, because you have direct access to memory and you can manipulate however you want, naturally that makes it quite easy to introduce certain kinds of bugs that will only be detected at runtime. So with this context, in particular, when we're talking about safety, and we're talking about bugs, I'm talking about memory safety, and I'm talking about bugs related to dealing with memory. But what exactly am I talking about? I'm talking about things like buffer overflows. Buffer overflows occur when you have objects in memory and then, so you have a length check missing somewhere over there in implementation. You forgot to check the length, and then suddenly you overwrite into some other object's memory. Then you have things like buffer overreads where you read, once again, you have a missing length check somewhere, you have an off-by-one error somewhere, and you somehow tend to read into some other object's memory. Things like dangling pointers, where you have the address of an object that's actually been deleted and now that the object is not going to do anything, so when you access it, it'll crash, it'll cause a kernel panic or whatever. You have things like double-threading a pointer which can corrupt the heap in some limitations, and there's a bunch of other similar related memory bugs, and these bugs are quite often, if you deal with languages like C and C++, where you have direct access to memory or where you need to, where you need direct access to memory in order to do whatever programming that you are doing. So the response in general to these kind of issues, obviously, is, GC it broke. Like garbage collector is rock. Why don't you use a garbage collector? Why are you dealing with manual memory management at all? GC solved this problem a long time ago. And for those of you who are wondering what I'm talking about, garbage collection, when I'm referring to garbage collection, I'm referring to garbage collection in languages like Java, languages like Java, JVM, or Ruby's Mark and Street garbage collector, aka any, you have an active garbage collector that actually can accumulate garbage over time and then mark and mark it, and then sweep it afterwards. So maybe it can be paused the world, it may only pause the world, doesn't matter. The point is we have very strong, very smart, very efficient garbage collector, the garbage collector implementation is out there right now. The JVM has been optimized for this particular use case of science into optimizing the garbage collector of our JVM. So why can't we use the JVM or why can't we use similar garbage collection mechanisms in systems programming languages directly? There doesn't seem to be an obvious problem, but there is, sadly. And that problem, the biggest problem by far, is that your destruction of memory when you are running a garbage collector is non-terministic. So this is a problem where, especially so in systems programming languages, because you want to be able to have that direct level of control. So if you're implementing a driver and you want to release some buffer that is super massive immediately before you do something else, you need to make sure that buffer is destroyed before you do anything else. You can't rely on the GC that, especially the GC will clear it and my very light framework or my very light driver will still work fine. You need to be very deterministic about when your object is actually going to be destroyed in the system programming language. Another problem with GCs is that the GCs require, GC systems like JVM, they need a lot more memory than your actual process in order to be efficient. So in the language memory, they start crashing and the efficiency of the GC will be a lot less. So this has repercussions because this means that for system programming, when you're talking about programming OSs, kernels, drivers, you need to be as fast as possible and as memory efficient as possible which won't be possible if you have this kind of limitation. So you can't have GC, if you're talking about embedded systems for example and you only have 32 kilobytes of RAM available to you and the GCs using half of that that's not going to be very optimal for whatever use case you're planning to use it for. Another problem with GCs and this is something that's not mentioned as often is that GCs are often power inefficient and that's because they often have to do RAM sweeps in order to clear memory and when every time you do a RAM sweep a RAM sweep inherently is quite expensive in terms of power. So this is one of the reasons why Apple decided not to adopt a garbage collector for Objective-C for example. So Chris Lattner talked about this recently in a podcast whereby one of the reasons why they didn't continue with Objective-C garbage collection in iOS is because GCs would lead to pretty bad power efficiency so they use something called automatic reference counting instead which I might touch later on. Another problem is GCs have this thing whereby they might pause the execution of your entire program in order to do garbage collection. This is not true of all GCs like JVM has and some very mature garbage collectors have very efficient ways to do this whereby they might use separate processes etc. but regardless there may be some GC pauses and a GC pause if you're dealing with software like an air traffic control system it's not acceptable. You don't want your plane to crash because your JVM is collecting memory for those 100mph or 20mph that kind of delay is not acceptable for a hardware of that system. So that's why garbage collection is not the answer sadly. And with that context that's where Rust comes in so Rust aims to provide a memory model whereby you can get away with memory safety without having to resort to garbage collection. And we look at how it does that but first, as a detour I want to show you how easy Rust Hello World is it's only three lines of code so we already win. We already beat C and C++ right? There's no hash import hash include, IO stream new space, blah blah blah so already to 90% of the audience I think I already won so I think I'll stop here but for those of you who are interested let's go on a bit further so what is Rust? Rust is a systems programming language that is focused on three goals safety, speed and concurrency today we'll be focusing on the safety aspect of it in particular memory safety so when it comes to safety Rust encourages or other forces you to have immutability by default so here's some Rust code that I'll show you guys if I declare a variable called letexico10 and I try to assign it to something else it'll throw compiler error because variable assignments in Rust are immutable by default you've got to reassign stuff if you want to reassign a variable you have to mark it with this mute keyword if you want it to be immutable this is a good thing because usually in most languages like C, C++ immutability is not the default mutability is the default if you want immutability you have to use const etc etc and this is a I mean this is a pretty good thing because this means by default most of our variables we don't have to worry about mutating them ok the other thing about Rust is that the other thing about Rust is that it is strongly typed and it is strongly typed with type inference so you do not always have to provide type signatures to your variables you can provide it so like for example over here I declare a variable X which I say is of type but similarly if I train another variable Y in the second scenario Rust will automatically infer the type based on the value you provide so you don't always have to provide values no I always have to provide type definitions to Rust ok yeah sure so the type inference is that directional or is it really low so if I type then use Y somewhere as a flow which I assign flow to I am not entirely sure the full extent of it but what I do know is that it's not very good like it's nowhere near as good it's not in the middle it's not that class at all it's very basic in the sense that for functions you always have to provide type definitions always but within a function body it can infer so I'm not sure yeah I suspect something like that or something like TypeScript for example it's not a very smart type type inference the reasoning for that is the claim is that in Haskell, even though in Haskell you can infer types always you don't need to provide function definitions it's good practice to do so so we're going to make the boss through anyway yeah okay okay can you repeat yourself so it's considered generic and integer value type but not as and you need to have investment for it oh that's good that's good yeah that's good alright okay so let's carry on I'm going to look at vectors for a bit because vectors are what I'm going to use to explain the memory concepts later in the doc so RAS is vectors and the way you declare a vector is very simple it's just let me equal this vector mission mark this exclamation mark thing is a macro we'll discuss more on macros later but the main point here is this thing will instantiate a vector of type interview inside it and our vectors will store content on the heap this is important and we'll go into this a bit later anyone not familiar with stack versus heap what's the what's the drawback what do these do no worries I will go into it very briefly soon so with that just that it's enough for us to go into the memory model of RAS and what makes RAS special so RAS philosophy in general is zero cost of fractions meaning that whatever abstraction they give to you whatever feature RAS provides to you it should have no performance cost and no cost during runtime so they try to maximize whatever they can at compile time rather than you worry rather than impose certain restrictions on you at runtime that'll affect performance and stuff so keeping that in mind the first concept they have in RAS memory model is this concept of ownership and ownership means that variable bindings have ownership they own whatever they're bound to so for example if I declare this variable here in this function v equals the vector of 1 to 3 the variable binding B has ownership of the vector and this also means that when this binding will go out of scope RAS will free the bound resources so the moment this thing will go out of scope even though it's on the heap it will be free so you don't need to have a free statement there or release or whatever or delete if you go from C++ RAS will free it for you regardless whether it's on stacked heap etc and in this case v on the heap is going to be cleaned up so this is great but there are some caveats to it just to clarify for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about when I refer to stack versus heap here's a very simple diagram to briefly explain it so let's say I have a vector v 1 to 3 and I have some variable i equal to a number 42 which is a primitive so my program stack which will push new labels where they come into scope and will pop them when they go out of scope will look something like this I have v which is a vector and it has this little object that's stored on the stack this object holds an address to the memory on the heap which actually stores the content of the vector and it stores some other data that might be useful for put access so things like the size of the vector will be stored on this object on the stack similarly for this variable i on the stack the value for the 2 is stored directly on the stack because it's a primitive and our registers are big enough to hold it so that's like a very simple view into stacking v one of the issues with ownership is Rust will ensure that there is only one binding to a given resource at a particular dump so what that means is that if I do something like this where I assign a vector v then I create another vector v2 and assign it equal to v and then I try to print the value inside v0 this thing will actually give me a compile time error saying error looks like this use of move value error might be confusing but what it means is that this ownership has moved from v to v2 so v no longer can be used it can no longer be used so why does it do this this is not exactly very intuitive so why does it do this actually the reason it does it is if we if we allow two labels to refer to the same vector the problem that we resolved is we would have two pointers pointing to the address of this the real actual point is owning this resource and if you have any modifications hold on a second if you have any modifications to the resource if you have any modifications to the size for example those changes might not affect the other reference holding the holding the same holding the same vector so that's the main reason why ownership only goes one way you can only have one owner label owning reference so the way ownership works is so let's say you have a code like this where you have a function and you pass this function you pass a vector into this function so v owns this vector now and inside this function this local variable this vector and what happens here is not important but afterwards when you try to print the value of v this thing will again give you this error again and this is like what the hell I can't use this anymore because this vector has already moved ownership to this label and then it moved ownership to this label and now it's gone so how am I supposed to do this kind of model how are we supposed to do anything with this kind of stuff let me go up and do a bit more and do why this is so so the reason this is so is let's say I have let's say I'm counting the number of votes that go on from one in the last election let's say this thing is stored as a vector and let's say that this is what the vector looks like it only has three votes right now or at least three people voting for it right now and let's say I want to smudge up the vote numbers and I declare a mutable I declare a mutable reference I declare a mutable variable where I try to own the vector and then I try to change it so I change it over here in this one what would the ownership mechanism look like when it comes to stack and heap so if you look at it I now have two vectors once my actual votes once my fake votes and my actually my heap size has increased the actual data on the heap has increased because I pushed one more variable there but the variable this thing is now corrupted because this data that I stored on the stack is no longer valid and this is the main reason why like I mentioned before Rust does not allow you to have multiple owners you can only own have one owner for a particular for any particular data on the heap what about if that's the case right then what about one easy way to get around it is to do copying this is something you do in many other languages to prevent multiple references from corrupting or something and we can do that actually for primitive types because Rust by default if you have for example code like this this code will compile and this code will compile because numbers are primitive type and implement this thing called the copy trade which allows you to copy over memory every time you actually do an assignment it's not actually going to move the resource into and assign it to another identifier it will just copy or you can do this for any data type but this is actually quite expensive to do if you do it for all your data types so this is not the right way obviously another issue is that if you use ownership and you want to let's say you're only using ownership to do your programming and if you have a function that you want to pass stuff to every time you pass stuff to it you have to return those identifiers back so you can use them again because once again as the rules say you can only have one identifier at a time according to a particular resource so if you are doing a function called for example over here I have a function that takes two vectors and returns a couple of two vectors and some number and every time I do this I will have to return the vectors back although actually in this case I don't actually want to do anything with the vectors I only want my numeric result I don't have a choice because in order to use the vectors ever again I have to pass them back because as the rule that's what the rules of ownership say which is obviously not the right way to program like if you program that way that's not going to work so in order to get around this Rust has another concept called borrowing and the way borrowing works is borrowing allows you to refer to something that's already owned and what you call do stuff with it but there are certain rules associated with it so for example over here I pass this and and looking operator this and looking sign means that instead of owning the resource let this other person borrow it instead and when you borrow it you don't actually own the resource anymore you just have a view into what the resource is so in this case if I do this this thing will compile fine and I don't need to pass my vectors we won't need to in the result anymore so this and right is actually a reference and reference like I mentioned will borrow ownership rather than owning the resource itself the main difference between ownership and references is that the resource will not be developed when the reference goes out of scope the main problem with us having to pass the references past the resources along when we are doing ownership is that if you don't do that the moment it goes out of scope the resource will be released and you won't have access to it anymore but you don't need to worry about it for references because references will not develop anything ok so in my diagram over here I will refer I will use this dotted arrow as a reference and this white arrow is ownership ok so this is the same thing so these both point to the same what you call same data on the heap this thing is one of the resources is the reference to the resource ok one of the issues with references is so let's say I quote like this whereby I create a vector then I call a function where I try to change the value of this vector using the reference itself this thing will throw an error the error will be you cannot borrow a mutual borrow content blah blah blah so the main just of it is that references are immutable that means that you cannot mutate you mutate the content as a reference by default this is a good thing and this is why it's safe to create as many references as you want because you're not actually ever going to change anything it's just a way for you to access the actual quantity of data but you never actually change it so this is great but what if I actually do want to change stuff there is something called a mutable reference it has a special keyword called animate and this is how you declare a mutable reference so over here what I do is I declare a mutable value called 5 and then in this scope block I declare a y which is a mutable reference to x and if I want to change the value of x I will have to b refer y using the star pointer and then I can change the value so this is how I would do mutation using mutable references in Rust and one of the things you have to notice here is that in order for this to work the variable x the original variable x also needs to be marked as mutable the reason is that if you try to borrow if you try to do a borrow reference after I do a mutable reference from any mutable value it will actually give an error which makes sense because you should not be doing that and the star I mentioned is needed to access the content of the reference I might be wondering why did I need to add these braces why did I need to create a new scope for this to work I will get into that now so naturally for borrowing there is a few rules that Rust forces you to follow at compile time if you don't follow these rules the memory model will break down the first rule is that if you are doing borrowing and you have a reference you cannot last for a scope that is greater than the owner this makes sense because if you do that you have a dining pointer by definition so the other thing the other rule they have is that you can only have one mutable reference exclusively or you can have as many references as you want one or more as so basically you cannot have a mutable reference and a mutable reference at the same time you have to you can only have one mutable reference at any given point in time in your program and this makes sense as well because if you look at it this is the definition of a data-race a data-race would occur if two pointers access the memory location at the same time and one of them is writing one of them is reading this would lead to a data-race but if by definition or if you can ensure a compile time that you only have one reference that is writing at any point in time then you will not face this problem I know what I was reading at that point in time then you will not have this problem at all you will not have to worry about data-races and this is how Rust like this is how Rust makes sure that you don't get into a whole host of memory seed memory bugs that would occur otherwise so let me look at this and do a bit more let me show you an example here I have an example where I have a mutable variable called X so it's the same example as before except that I don't have the graces the nested graces and I do a borrow with Y then I try to add and then I try to print the value of X okay and this thing will give me a compile time error saying that it cannot borrow X as immutable because it is also borrowed as immutable what this means is I have two references right now I have a mutable reference and I also have an immutable reference pointing to my variable X so why is the mutable with mutable reference and I have an immutable reference in the print because when you print something they'll actually create immutable reference to whatever you're printing and this thing will then fail because of that so that's the reason why I need to add a scope inside here so that when Y goes out as we look at the previous example if when Y goes out of scope the reference will be gone it will be thrown out of memory and it's known over there so then in that case this is the okay because I only have one immutable reference now I don't have a mutable reference anymore in this particular case similarly references cannot live longer than the resource they're pointing to so for example if I have some code here where I have a reference Y and inside this block I have a variable X equal 5 I try to assign this assignment where I try to assign the reference Y to the variable X this will also throw a compile time error saying that X does not live long enough for Y to be referenced to it so this is in short compile time it's great I don't need to worry about this anymore so that's it that's the entirety of Rust's memory model and with these two guarantees you will lose a whole host of bugs that will otherwise appear there's a few more concepts of Rust that are interesting that I'll go down with that I'll list them or have one of them is structs as in structs are simple in Rust this is how you declare a struct it's just that if I have a struct out point I just do the type definition and I can use this constructor that's available for free and I can I want to do a mutable version of this struct I can just use the mute operator to do a mutable own label and just the own reference to this struct one of the things to do with structs however is that there is no field level mutability for structs so by default all your fields are mutable or all your fields are mutable so you can't have field level like in class if you have one something is read-only something is not read-only to do that the reason that is so is because mutability in Rust is a property of the binding it's not a property of the object itself and you can do it you really need it by using mutable pointers if you really really need field level mutability so you can have a box inside for example but by default you don't get it so that's interesting another thing to note is struct allows you to have methods on structs so for example let's say I have a method called area that I want to implement on this block circle I can implement it like this I can just declare a function I have this implementation block and this thing returns 14.54 bit and this is quite straightforward though the only interesting thing here is that the method when you refer to self you can refer to yourself in three ways you can either have you can either borrow self with a reference using and in that case you won't see this and here and in that case you know the memory what's your problem and you can have a mutable reference to self as well so this is something interesting that you can have methods that use either of those based on whatever you need if you want to mutate if you use and self obviously you cannot mutate the fields that you have you are not a mutable reference you are a mutable reference so if you want to use if you want to mutate you should use and and self and the thing that's interesting about Rust is static and dynamic dispatch so what this means is so Rust will default to static dispatching and what this actually means is I'll get into it in a bit more detail but the main reason to do that is because it allows several optimizations like inlining your function calls so let me just give you an example of why that matters at all to people using Rust let's say I have a function called add because I don't like that operator and I want to redefine add let's say I have a functional programmer and I don't like using the needs plus operator and I only like this kind of syntax so let's say I redefine add and I use this function in some code if I'm not inline this function will probably generate something like this which basically means that you basically push the argument you set some registers for static state push the arguments you call the function then you call the function and you put the result somewhere then you pop all the registers back that's what normally happens in the function call specific register that you have to set you need to push some params call the function, put the result somewhere then pop all the registers back however if you inline you inline your function what will happen is the instruction will produce something like this add instruction directly and the reason the compiler can do this is because it will expand the code when it's inlining instead of applying a method every time the function is called so this allows a lot of nice compiler optimizations however there are some scenarios where also this thing is called static so this thing is the main advantage for using static dispatch for those of you who don't know static dispatch static dispatch means that you have a fixed address for whatever method that you're calling whereas in dynamic dispatch the address is based on time it's also a method of optimization so if you produce a static generator for static dispatch you will optimize the compile time according to the implementation for the static dispatch for the static dispatch you will optimize the compile time according to the implementation for the static dispatch but the point is that there are several compile optimizations that you can do when you have inlining available so with dynamic dispatch this thing is kind of hard to do because you don't have the address available at compile time so in some scenarios however dynamic dispatching is more effective and the reason for this is if you have some method that takes a generic type in Rust for example let's say I have method do something and this thing takes a generic type T and I have several implementations of this type for this type T let's say I have something I want to do for a byte and something else I want to do for a string by the way Rust will actually implement the code that Rust will generate based on each type so that means that you will actually have a lot of code that if you have a type that extends to if you have a lot of types here this thing can generate a lot of instructions and this will can load your code size so static dispatch by default may not always be quite smart so the compiler is quite smart in choosing whether to use dynamic dispatch static dispatch in these kind of cases so aside from that Rust also has support can you decide between the static or the dynamic? yes you can if you want more control and if you feel like you can do a better job you can actually specify whether you want to be static or dynamic by default basically it depends on every it has some heuristic for most functional things it's static by default but I think if you have generics then I think they will use dynamic but unless some heuristics there are some heuristics that they use Rust also has enums and they are a lot more powerful than enums that you might be used to in cc++ there are actually option types like from a functional background this is quite exciting you can do stuff you can actually pack data inside your enums and this might be something that is very normal for a functional programmer there is something quite new in the systems programming world because cc++ don't really have this so you can represent lots of different kinds of data using this if I have a message type and it can be of different types like if I can be a put message can be change color where I provide some RGB values it can be a move where I change the xy coordinates or it can be a write where I string I can model all this and all these will have the same type at the end of the day so this is good it's good to have another thing that Rust is quite interesting in how it deals with strings so Rust supports UTF-8 properly it doesn't do a shorty job of supporting UTF-8 by hiding it as UTF-16 characters or maybe it's a sequence of non-linear determinant bytes Rust properly supports UTF-8 strings what that means is that I'll get into what that means in a bit but basically when you declare a string a statically allocated string for example like let's say this is the static string over here that's how to put it in your code this thing will generate what we call string literal of type this thing is of type str then this thing is statically allocated and it will exist for the entire duration of the program it will basically be stored in the data segment of the program however if you want something if you want a string that's growable they also have a different string type for that it's called string and you can convert strings from one type to the other you can convert str to string I don't know how they pronounce it actually when they talk about it but you can convert the static string into a heap allocated string by this method and similar to some of the new programming languages like SWIFT for example Rust strings do not support indexing what that means is that if you want to find what character you're at in a string you won't get that by default and the reason they don't do this is because in a UTF-A actually when you index a character it's actually an ON algorithm to do so it's not an ON algorithm the reason is you have to walk to find what's the end letter in that string because UTF-A a character can have dynamics in the variable size so there is an algorithm to go through the UTF-A string to find what the actual end character in terms of unit representation is at the end of the day so in Rust it gives you some helper methods to do that but it also allows you to look at the byte representation of the string if you need it for example I have this string with the Japanese string and if I want to go through the characters that is the human readable characters of this string I can do all this method for both cars this will iterate through this is an innumerable level but I want to use the bytes I can also use the bytes correctly so Rust makes this explicit to the programmer from the get go note about the Swift thing I mentioned Swift actually is dropping this model and actually is going to make their string API easier in the next version so it's no longer like Swift but yeah Rust also has a foreign function interface what that means is that you can integrate Rust code in C code and you can expose Rust functions to be called from C and this opens a lot of interesting possibilities so here is a simple example of how to make it work the gist of it is that if you want to call a function from C you can declare it as an external function and then you need to note the unsafe here so unsafe is basically a safety hatch or you're saying okay Rust I'll take control of the memory myself don't worry about it so if you put anything inside unsafe the Rust model checker will not complete anymore inside this unsafe you can call your C function correctly and it should work fine similarly Rust functions can be called from C and you can do if you want to expose your function to the C world or to any other language with FFI you can just mark the function as an external function and you can pass the no-mangle meta argument so that the symbol name is no-mangle and it generates the function name for you so this is great this means that we can use Rust for more stuff than just systems programming and because Rust supports a large variety of architectures for example it supports ARM which is what I always do before there's a reason it can support ARM is because it uses LVM under the hood and it supports every architecture that LVM supports this means that we can do a lot of exciting stuff with Rust not just do OSes but we can do for example shared libraries if you have iOS and Android clients and you want to do a library that you want to share between those clients you don't have to write in cc++ you can write in Rust for example and it will work fine because Rust will work fine on ARM so that's why I as an iOS developer find Rust by fascinating and I can't wait to use it for actual stuff for actual stuff that I work with that, that's the end of my presentation any questions feel free to do I have a question about the very last time so how low can you go is there some runtime around the code which is committed by Rust and how do you think theoretically what do you mean? you can program it in Rust as in because anything you can do in C you can do in Rust because Rust is not as you you have Rust is not as you, you have an OS available or what you call it can have a runtime it's a purely compiled language so there's no it doesn't assume any runtime is there so it will work fine you can use it to control market controllers quite easily yeah, you can do that as well that's good you can you can, because Rust will compile LVM IR because LVM supports ARM it's fine that's interesting I've seen references you can compile it on iOS for example and it works fine I think you want to compile on the native target without cross compiling from x86 that's what you meant I mean you can just cross compile and compile that's right if you want to compile on the target you mean you want to run the compiler I believe it doesn't want to cross compile so it doesn't want to run on the laptop and then run on the target compile on the target that's his point you can do that like you mentioned if you compile the compile that but I'm not going to show it to you I'm pretty sure you can it's running on the target I'm almost certain because the different tiers are supported I'm sure it's not and ARM is about the highest tier in the long run so I'm almost certain so I'm almost certain Any more questions? Very basic stuff nothing too fancy I'm trying to I'm thinking of using it for some projects at work but we have to share libraries that we can forward over to Rast so we haven't started that yet so do we have a build tool for this one? something like something like that say what? there is a very good build tool it's called cargo it's actually a very well designed build tool that allows a lot of things it does dependency management for you for example it will do things like setting up the project for you it will also do things like running tasks running your stuff or building an executable etc it's quite well developed you can use Jenkins to run cargo for example Jenkins is just a program that's running with everything you can call other programs inside Jenkins so you can have a shell script that calls cargo in your Jenkins configuration a lot of stuff it doesn't have to be done given that a similar program is C++ I think that's a problem right now they haven't optimized it yet I think compiler times will be definitely a lot slower than C++ definitely for large code bases and that's something that I think they plan to work on right now they are focusing on making it more friendly for more generic for more programs but I think they haven't optimized compiler times yet it still runs really quite well so if you want to rest on right here you can use the new parameter configuration that you speed up the load process is it 5x5 incremental or a little better it's not about the algorithm there are many ways of the new parameter configuration but they are planning to import the feature off on the stable you can set up on the developers it's quite fast compared to the current combination it's quite fast any more questions what resources do you suggest I recommend the rustland book so there's this google for a rustland book it's a very good resource for picking up rust it's pretty well it's pretty easy to go through and they it's maintained quite actively by the community so when new versions of rust come in people will submit more requests and update it quite often so that's the best resource quite far aside from rustland book I recommend looking at what companies are doing with rust one of the biggest projects with rust is this project called servo so basically the whole reason why rust came about the story of rust is Mozilla wanted to implement its browser rendering engine and they decided to implement a new programming language to do that and that's how rust came about basically and they are using rust to develop servo right now so I think that's a good guide into how what a big rust project look like or how to manage or how to build a rust big rust project I'm not sure of any other very big projects using rust yet I have a job aspect can you do that for me developer tools for me job aspects job aspects I'm not sure I would say it's a tool that you can use so if you're doing system programming or doing low level stuff then you can use this as a tool but I'm not sure that's because I see my rust it's like that so I think we see a lot of companies using rust any companies using rust once again I'm not entirely sure aside from Mozilla chef web sectors of rust with our companies using rust in production there are a lot of job openings for rust so yeah and then you can try actually yeah that's it that was awesome great thanks thanks Omar

Good afternoon. My name is Robert Askar. I'm the Prime Manager for OpenStack at NetApp. I've been working with OpenStack for about three and a half Years, so I've done this a few different times. And I thought we'd just go ahead and launch it. And we've got a total of about 15 minutes. So I just wanted to give you an overview of NetApp's Integration story with OpenStack. And a couple of the things that we have coming. Do a couple of short demos. So let's go ahead and get into it. So just to get a little bit of the groundwork and the way We think about something like an OpenStack at NetApp. We believe that we have a number of the technologies in place To create a common data fabric across endpoints. Will that be private cloud, public cloud in a hyperscale Sense or of course hosted private cloud or a number of Other boutique service providers. Of course we're familiar with some of the today's Hyperscale providers. The potential to actually host workloads that might have Actually been intended to land at an Amazon or perhaps In the future in Azure or a Google cloud platform. And of course most of this is shimmed presently in the form Of AWS and OpenStack. Any number of different OpenStack equivalents. Some of which may in over time in fact achieve some Of the same scale that you would see of a Google Of an Azure and perhaps over time even in Amazon. As I expect most folks are already aware here, there are Of course some high profile large public clouds already Based on OpenStack or at least the veiling OpenStack APIs. And of course a number of other small locales. It becomes that sort of common plane or at least Run time for infrastructure as a service above that Common data fabric that NetApp is executing upon. Just briefly on the prior slide our data on tap operating System is by most measures the single most prevalent Commercial storage operating system in the world. Of course NetApp is not the single largest provider of Storage but all of our platforms with a couple of Exceptions are based on this data on tap. And as such it's a good place to start and Building a common data fabric. To achieve the largest number of nodes possible. Familiar with metcast law and he given network as only as Useful as the number of nodes within so it's a good place to Start. A bit about open source at NetApp. That data on tap I referred to derives from BSD originally And of course we also are the primary employers of some Of the Linux maintainers around NFS. So OpenStack was an organic thing for us to settle upon. There are a number of different things that NetApp Differentiates within the market at large. No intention to go through all of these. But when we start in on something like a cinder Integration exercise we want to make sure none of it is left Behind. We're not a commodity storage device. There's a lot of differentiated capabilities. And something like a cinder is an abstraction. It allows you to write application logic to address a Single api for all block storage. But as such it's an abstraction to make sure that the things That we do differently whether it's various qualities of data Protection or storage efficiency, uptime availability, Protection security so and so forth that those are Explicitly accessible through that abstraction. So that's actually where we start when it comes to Cinder development. We've been at this for like I said a little while. I've been working with it for three and a half years. Our first integrations they viewed in the sx release And we've iterated upon it successively expanded. And in fact here in ice house we've debuted support for an Entirely new platform namely our e and e f series. An all flash version of our e series systems. Clustered on tap is a programmable capability. That's resident on many different modalities. Many different contexts whether it be on prem and a Host of private cloud sitting in front of foreign storage Meaning non adept storage or increasingly in the future As an end point at some of those hyper scale providers I mentioned earlier. So let's actually get into a little bit about open stack. And since I'm already talking at length let me speed along Here. Let's talk about glance. First thing is when you back end it on that systems you Get to take advantage of deduplication. Since we are talking about os bits deduplication tends To be very aggressive 90 plus percent is not uncommon. You can do that with either the object or the file back end But from a simplicity perspective file tends to be the Path of least resistance. When it comes to object storage we have an interesting Reference architecture on our e series platform which Possesses a I guess you could call it a node level Erasure coding capability. It's actually an alternative implementation of the crush Algorithm for those might be familiar. That allows you to mitigate the effect of long rebuild Times classically associated with raid. Why mention this? Well for swift by default uses a consistent hashing ring. That ring makes three copies by default within a single Site and of course more as you extend over multiple Sites. You wouldn't want to reconstitute over the WAN so you're talking about at least two copies at the Other end of it. Traditional raid or traditional parity scheme has Us long rebuild time. Since we've mitigated it with our dynamic dispools Technology I just talked about we're able to Dramatically reduce the actual consumption associated With storage of a single object. So it goes from 3x within a site to 1.3x. And of course that single site also becomes Immediately consistent. And I guess what you ultimately see is a pretty Significant reduction in cost of operation. Power cooling, floor space so and so forth Management associated. On the topic of block storage which of course where We started it goes without saying this is a Control plane activity. It's not the data path. One of the things that we work within the community on And in fact actually there's a session concurrent with This on the topic of the use of volume types within Cinder. You allow you to actually construct a catalog of Capabilities. So I earlier alluded to the fact that our Systems do things different than commodity storage That are different from them. And so how do you get at them? Well frankly you can you establish what's referred to As a volume type. It's arbitrary and then you compose it with what are Referred to as volume type extra specs. Which are the unique capabilities that a given Cinder back end can deliver. And so from that a requester of Cinder storage You know speaks to the api server and then the Cinder scheduler attempts to levy the request against The back end that's most appropriate given the Characteristics of what you of the type that You requested. So just a brief demonstration of establishing some Well actually we've already established the extra specs. This is an indication of some of them that have been Established as well as quality of service attributes. And I'm sorry I moved a little too fast with the Fingers there. What you'll see is that we've established a gold Silver and a bronze catalog if you will with Different attributes. There's quite a lot of option there in this particular Case we've aligned for example bronze to a sort of a Lowest common denominator storage option. Perhaps it's for ephemeral type use cases where you Really don't care about the qualities in your Aligned storage. And of course with a silver and a bronze we've Aligned different other things. You probably saw that we assigned quality of service Attributes a ceiling associated to a given type Such that you prevent a given tenant from exceeding That and of course there's a lot of different reasons Why you do so. You know prevent the the noisy neighbor syndrome but Also frankly don't deny yourself as a service provider If that is indeed who you are. The option of selling them something that's more Aligned to what they're actually consuming. So this is just sort of a depiction of what that Looks like with our e-Series driver. And then with our clustered on tap driver in this Case silver was composed with a replication characteristic So that when that occurs it went ahead and provisioned Into a container that has a replication policy. So there's a number of different options depending upon Which of our drivers you use. We avail both NFS and iSCSI. We help deliver NFS in the originally within the Community. Wrote the reference driver for the generic driver if You will. And you might ask well why NFS after all we are Talking about block storage service. It's simply vastly more scalable. You run out of initiators and loans well before you would Files in a given export. There's a variety of cloning advantages as well that Will get into a second. But we support paralyzed NFS for the first time in Icehouse by default if available and of course NFS has been around for a little bit. On our e-Series systems iSCSI presently and you Will look to expand upon those in the generative Time frame. So as it applies to okay creating new instances In opensack compute. Most of you may be familiar that a day in the life of a Given virtual machine exists as you know hey i'm Going to interrogate my fleet of hypervisors and Determine what's the most appropriate locale given The flavor and the image selected and once i've Done so if the image is not already there i copy it Over i have to actually curl it over htb copy it to The location which can be quite expensive now it is The case if you have a subsequent request you're Going to have the advantage of that one copy cached but It's only local to that specific hypervisor if you Have like i said a fleet of them that copy operation Occurs on the next one over and you know if you have Lots and lots of images this can be particularly Expensive so what we've delivered is a capability Where we can collate collocate glance and our Cinder backing store on the same system if it so Happens that they are not in the same system perhaps Swift is elsewhere and is actually the glance back End and senders on our systems we'll make that one Copy but that copy actually ends up being global to The entire fleet of hypervisors and i should also Point out that it's a boot from volume activity we're Looking at so it means that your volume your Your bootable volume is in fact not ephemeral By default it's persistent by default if you Have used cases that want an ephemeral instance Then select delete upon terminate you get the effect And i'd argue that it's far more effective to go from Persistent to ephemeral than it is to try to go from Ephemeral to persistent where your needs for a given Instance to have changed along the path so it's Significantly faster we clone aggressively are Being net of cloning technology no new no additional Space consumed until there's a net new writer Overwrite the effect is at least on the storage Component of the boot process of new instances is Essentially instantaneous not to say that you know the Boot process doesn't proceed and that doesn't take Time the storage component of is dramatically Sped when it comes to the array of storage services Within open stack we think there's a critical Emission in 2012 i believe it was idc Specified something like 65% of all storage sold In the market at large was for deployment of Shared file system so if you think of open stack Is the de facto open infrastructure service Capability there's a critical issue when it comes to Infrastructure as a service so shared file systems as a Service specifically so we've endeavored to create a new Service building community around it i should point out Called manila which does what for shared and distributed File systems what cinder does for block storage if you Know what cinder does then you know what manila does There's additional considerations for it and There's a little bit of additional complexity but Conceptually you're there so this is just a depiction of The addition a quick demo to show you that this is in Fact real on wednesday i believe it's a 10 a.m. We're going to have a session an hour long session that Is in fact actually community activity we have a number of Other vendors on stage with us demonstrating their Capabilities around manila so you know a net app Conceived of prototype develop you know contributed Capability but we are to be clear working with the broader Community and encourage encourage folks to join so you'll See some of those other folks on stage with us on wednesday Again not to go into the depth of manila since we don't Have the time here but it does exist those are the Horizon interfaces that's not smoking mirrors so it is Presently on the path to incubation we go in front of The technical committee well i don't have the exact date But sometime after this after the summit to get the official Not on it you can play with it you can deploy it today it's on Stack forage like i said on wednesday there's a pretty in Depth session so that's kind of a summary of what we've Done i mentioned in ice house that we debuted a couple of Capabilities support for our e-series and e-f which is An all-fresh array version thereof systems in the way of Cinder that reference architecture i talked about was Swift is in fact predicated on e-series a quality of e-series Underneath we default to paralyze nfs where available meaning The host os on the compute node the location of the Hypervisor must of course support it and of course we'll Negotiate it down to whatever version is in fact available i Talked about the the rapid instance creation efficient Creation we did an additional optimization we have a Capability that copy off loads where if in fact glance And cinder are not on the same net app systems we can actually Do an out of band copy between them directly instead of having To wash it through the host that's running the open stack Services and then we have a variety of reference Architectures and we endeavor to deliver both pop it in the Future chef automation with each of our reference Architectures so it's not just a simple exercise in Reading it it's an exercise in making it so Juno is a whole topic unto itself but more to come I've got a limited amount of time so i just wanted to get Into a little bit of some of the reasons why we see folks Deploying that app underneath open stack there's a Variety of different ones one is i've got a variety of Cloud native applications i've got a variety of like Classic posix applications and i want to deploy them on a Single highly available highly reliable infrastructure if i'm Only building like that entirely cloud native ephemeral Application then there are reasons why you might do so for Storage efficiency the total cost of operation in terms of Environmental sustainability perspective more often than not Most customers have a collection of both and to have Only one stuff pipe infrastructure for one style of Application tends to be rather expensive and we see a Lot of folks you know kind of moving towards this Hybrid cloud model when they want to repatriate from an a Ws when their workloads become more of a steady state and It's frankly do costly to keep it there or maybe to actually Like you know deploy it first

In this section, I will explain the factors that influence the exchange rate in the short run. So, when we look at the foreign exchange trading, we see that it can happen 24 hours, 7 days a week. At any time, you can trade foreign exchange or it happens. And another important thing which is linked with this foreign exchange is that we always do the trading in currency pairs. If the currency pairs are there, then the exchange cannot be otherwise. So, we have to see that the British pound of Great Britain is going against yen. Dollar is exchanging with Euro, Pakistani rupee is exchanging with Yuan. So, you always have currency pairs. Now, the main thing which helps to determine the rate of exchange in the short run, that is the supply and the demand forces. How much is the supply of any currency and how much is the demand of that currency. Both these things influence your exchange rate. But we always put up the exchange rate in the form of a pair. As you can see, if we represent US dollars from USD, this is an international notation. So, the exchange rate we have is GBP divided by USD over USD. Similarly, USD divided by CAD means Canadian dollar. So, if the value of the currency pair is 1.33, then you have to remember that the words written in the numerator are always 1. And when we have written the value of 1.33, it means that USD is equal to 1.33 CAD. So, this is how we read it. Similarly, if I write USD divided by PKR is equal to 176, it means that you have to use one for the numerator. 176 PKR is equal to 176 PKR. So, this is the way we interpret this particular thing. So, the currency written above is called 1. Its value is 1. Now, we were going to talk about how to determine the value of the exchange rate in the short run. So, we can see that since we are dealing with the short run, then we have fixed the supply of a certain currency as a vertical straight line. But the demand is negatively sloping. This means that the exchange rate is high. So, the demand will obviously come down. And if the exchange rate will come down, then your demand will increase. You will like to take more of that currency. Now, there could be factors which cause these particular changes. And there could be jumps. There could be irregular movements. There could be panic situation. Or there could be increase in the demand for a certain foreign goods or locally produced goods. All these factors could be the difference of the weather. Due to which, there could be ups and downs in the market. But if suppose to discuss this particular diagram, suppose we are sitting at a point where EA is the exchange rate, then here you can see that the overall market perception is that the exchange rate is quite high. So, the demand will come down. And your supply is fixed. Due to the excess supply, the price of the exchange rate will go down. And you can see that this is being represented by this red downward arrow. And it will stop at a certain point where your supply demand is equal. Similarly, if we assume that the starting point has a very low exchange rate, and the demand is high on this, but the supply is fixed, then there is an excess demand kind of a situation. This situation will push the exchange rate to go up. And as a result, you will reach at a point where the demand and the supply becomes equal to each other. And a certain level of exchange rate will be established which can be considered as the equilibrium exchange rate. Now, it is important to understand that there could be a number of factors which can help our demand curve to shift upward or downward. So, a quick recap of those factors. If your domestic interest rate increases, then the quantity demanded of your domestic assets will go up as well. And due to this, your exchange rate will also go up. A particular thing can be observed in the form of an upward shift in the demand curve. You can see that the demand curve we had earlier was blue. But your domestic interest rates will increase and your demand will go up. Similarly, if an foreign country's interest rate increases, then your demand will shift backwards. As a result, what will happen? Your exchange rate will decline. If expected domestic price level increases, then your demand curve will shift backward and your exchange rate will also fall. As you can see here, it is also falling. And if your expected trade barriers are expected to increase, then the quantity demanded of domestic assets will go up and as a result, the exchange rate will go up. And this can be represented by this upward movement and your demand curve has shifted upward. Now, expected import demand if you expect it to increase, then that will also cause the demand curve to shift backwards and the exchange rate will decline. If you understand the demand of export then the exchange rate will increase and your demand curve will shift upward. And if you are observing our expected productivity, that will go up. And this will also increase the expected demand and your exchange rate will go up. This can be observed as an increase in the demand. Upward shift in the demand curve and your exchange rate will increase and you can see here. Now we can see the effect of multiple factors on the exchange rate of a certain currency and this is how we can see that there would be shifts in the equilibrium also.

How can I add course content to my Moodle? A course in Moodle is basically a space on your Moodle site where one or more teachers can add learning content for their students. What the course might look like as a teacher will depend partly on the theme and settings which you as the admin define. This course uses the Boost theme, although it can be changed to Classic as shown in another video. With the Boost theme, teachers can expect to see a collapsible navigation draw on the left and a cog menu top right. By default, teachers can edit the course settings by clicking the cog icon and then edit settings. Other course features are available from here too, including a More link which takes you to further settings, including reports, badges and quiz questions. The main content area here is where the actual teaching and learning resources will be added. In this course, there are numbered topics which can be renamed, but if we look at a different course on a different Moodle site, you can see that these are divided into weekly sections and there are some blocks on the right. In order to add learning content, you need to have the editing turned on and with the Boost theme you do this by clicking the cog top right and then clicking the link Turn editing on. This displays an edit menu next to any existing content for editing the settings, hiding, duplicating, deleting and so on. There is an announcement forum here and if the teacher wishes to move it into a different section, she clicks the crosshairs icon to move it by dragging and dropping. You can add slide presentations or word process documents simply by dragging and dropping. Otherwise, to add other content, the teacher needs to click the link Add an activity or resource in the section where she'd like them to appear. You can always move them afterwards. An activity involves input from learners, such as submitting an assignment or posting in a forum. A resource is static content, such as a video or page of text. When the editing is turned on, a teacher can also add blocks to the side of the main learning content. For more information on how courses work, watch our Learn Moodle Educator playlists on our YouTube channel and join our twice-yearly Learn Moodle Educator MOOC. To summarise, courses hold learning content. Resources are static. Activities require input from learners. Blocks may also be added to the side.

There are some nutrients that are especially important for supporting the health of growing children and their families. The first important nutrient is vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to protect us from infections by making the immune system strong. Vitamin A also helps protect our eyesight. It can be found in spinach, chicken, liver, eggs, milk, fish, and yellow or orange fruits and vegetables. Calcium is also very important, especially during times of growth. Calcium is the mineral that our bodies use to build healthy bones and strong teeth. Calcium is found in foods like milk, cheese, yogurt, and even the soft bones in canned fish like sardines. The third special nutrient, especially during times of growth, is iron. Eating enough iron-rich foods helps support the growth of body tissues and keep us feeling strong and energetic. We only need small amounts of iron, but when we don't get enough in our diets, it can make us feel that we don't have enough energy to enjoy the day and perform all of our daily activities. A person can get enough iron by eating small amounts of red meat, especially liver and kidney, or by eating spinach, dried beans, or whole grain cereals and breads that are fortified with iron. The iron found in plant sources like spinach is more easily absorbed by the body if it's eaten together with foods that are rich in vitamin C, like oranges or lemons. There are also some foods that are generally not healthy and should be avoided by individuals and families who want to stay healthy. If these foods are eaten, they should be eaten in very small amounts and not on a daily basis. Foods that are very high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and salt are not good for anyone and should be avoided. Many ready-made foods or packaged foods bought at fast food restaurants and convenience stores are too high in unhealthy fat, sugar, and salt. Foods of these unhealthy foods are things like candy and packaged cakes, deep fried foods, donuts, ice cream bars, and all kinds of processed meats. Eating too much of these foods can cause problems with the heart and kidneys, leaving us sick and unable to function in our daily lives. These foods can also cause overweight and obesity. Foods that contain too much sugar are also unhealthy for all of us. Too much sugar can lead to overweight, obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. Examples of foods which contain a lot of added sugar are soft drinks, processed treats, honey jams, and sweetened energy drinks. Many people think that sodas and energy drinks are a good way to quench our thirst, but in fact, these drinks usually contain far too much sugar. Eating fresh water is almost always the best way to quench your thirst. Fruit juice also contains lots of sugar and should only be taken in small amounts or diluted with water for a special treat. In general, when we cook at home, we can control the amount of salt and sugar in our family's food. We can also choose healthy fats to cook with. Salt and sugar should only be used in small amounts to flavor healthy, home-cooked meals. Fruits are the best treat for a child who wants to eat something sweet after dinner. Healthy fats, like the fats found in vegetable oil, avocados, and nuts, can be eaten in small amounts. By making small changes, like increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables that we eat, and also by using small amounts of lean meat in our meals and cooking at home whenever we can, we can make better choices for our families every day.

Beyond the exam alternative assessment toolkit - Joanne Kehoe
|
Thematic Session -- Frontier Technologies (Day 2 - Auditorium 450 - 11h)
Beyond the exam alternative assessment toolkit
Joanne Kehoe
In support of aims to improve their online teaching and open pedagogy approaches, educators express a need to see exemplar courses and assessment strategies and be able to access just-in-time support and resources (VanLeeuwen et al, 2020) – and this need was made even more critical during the shift to remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this project was to provide educators with a comprehensive toolkit to quickly find and integrate new assessment strategies into their teaching. Building new assessment strategies requires investigation, careful consideration, and creation of guiding resources for learners, all of which can be barriers to adoption for many educators. The focus of this project was to eliminate these barriers through the provision of an ‘open online assessment exemplar bank,’ where we will not only categorize and share clear examples, resources and instructions that we have sourced and/or created, but also provide a space for participants to share back adopted or new assessment approaches that have proven successful for their learners and context.

additional territory shared between the Haudenosaunee confederacy and the Anishinaabe nations. And this territory is covered by the Upper Canada treaties and is within the lands protected by this dish with one spoon agreement. And it's directly adjacent to Haldeman Treaty Territory. So we acknowledge this because we acknowledge we have a debt to those who were here before us and we recognize our responsibility as guests to respect and honor the intimate relationship indigenous peoples have to this land. So I'm here to talk about, I was really, I loved Cyan's keynote yesterday about her travels to space and I was definitely one of the ones that put my hand up, I want to go to space. And I thought, oh, it's kind of, it's nicely tied to this project that I've been working on with a group of colleagues from other institutions in Ontario. And it is on beyond the exam and we kind of think of it as the final frontier when we're working especially in teaching and learning spaces and helping faculty adopt open pedagogies and alternative assessments that assessments really are something that often, often people even use open textbook and open materials, they still do a traditional exam and we'd like to change that a bit. So we had to, we decided to come up with this project and I'll talk a bit more about it now. So I'd like everyone to go back in time and maybe you have to go back in time a little bit more further back than others but to your own educational experience. So just think about that for a minute. What assessment did you learn the most from? So I'll give you a minute to think about it. Was it perhaps an exam? Was it an experiential opportunity? Was it a presentation that you had to prepare for a class? Was it an essay or paper that you wrote? Was it a project? Was it a portfolio or maybe it was other? So think about it for a minute and when you think about your experience of what you learned the most from an assessment, I'm going to ask for a, instead of a mentee or fancy schmancy way of getting your responses, just to raise your hand. So did anyone learn the most from writing an exam? No hands, okay. And that's probably the most frequent form of assessment. Did anyone learn the most from an experiential opportunity that was assessed? I see a few hands, a lot of people and maybe, I don't know what field you're in, but in health sciences and clinical placements might relate to that. Did anyone learn the most from doing a presentation in front of a group of peers? Yeah, that's me too. I find I learned the most from preparing. There's a lot of people in the room felt that. What about preparing a portfolio? There's a few hands, yeah. Yeah, and a lot of programs don't actually include that so maybe that's why we didn't all have that experience, but I think it's a great way to assess your learning, especially through the trajectory of a program. What about a large project? I wondered if that would be the most and I think it is, so that's a wonderful way of project-based learning of course is a great way to assess. And then other, maybe there's a category, any others that I didn't have on this slide that you maybe learned more from? I was hoping there'd be someone because then I'd ask you, there is, just keep that in your mind because at the end when the questions are, I'll ask you to share it. So as you can see, not many people learn very much from exams and that is the most traditional form of assessment, well, from my institution experience at least. So how we evolved this project was with the pandemic, we at McMaster and the institutions that I collaborated with, we all were faced with the realization or not realization or the unfortunate request that we had to obtain proctoring software, which many of us were opposed to and we know that there are many issues with proctoring software and some of them, but the basic issues are with technical issues, so it's not really, it doesn't really actually work, it's easily circumvented. Equity issues, more importantly, when students need to have access to robust internet, they need to be in a calm place, they are able to do an exam that's free of distractions, they need to have a robust computer and they need to also think about their own health and maybe they have an accommodation or a disability and the proctoring software just maybe gives an inappropriate red flag and then also having recognition of time and family responsibilities and particularly during a pandemic when everyone is already overwhelmed and having to do a proctored exam, we had discussions with many students who were just, it was really heart wrenching to hear of the experiences that they had with being flagged for inappropriately looking off in the distance like you do or maybe that was the color of their skin actually raised a red flag, which is really unfortunate and I think something that we should work really hard to not use proctoring software in education. So we did have to, we did get proctoring software anyways because some of the professional accreditation required an exam and so we couldn't tell the Canadian Medical Association for example that we can't have an exam, we're against it. So we had to use it in certain circumstances but when we talked to faculty we found that the biggest barrier to looking at alternative assessment was they just didn't have the support in looking in their courses and developing assessments so they needed instructions on how to integrate them into the class, they needed rubrics, they needed examples of the assessment that was being completed by other students and often we need, they also needed assistance with the technology if there was some technology integration so and we all, we realized that faculty were also similarly overwhelmed so they didn't have just learning to teach online for the first time was enough so they really needed that support with these type of inclusions, the instructions of rubrics, examples, etc. So we were really fortunate in Ontario to have eCampus Ontario which many of you may be familiar with if you know David Porter or Lena Patterson who often come to the OE Global, Lena is the chair, they had a virtual learning strategy funding that was available two years ago and we applied, they had a category digital fluency for educators, we had a collaboration, so McMaster University where I'm from, we worked with Brock University which is in near Niagara Falls Ontario and then College Boreal which is in northern, it's a Francophone institution in northern Ontario. So the three institutions applied, we received some funding and we were able to get the project going. We used the funding largely to pay students and conduct French translation. So we formed our development team, there was multiple people from each institution, we had faculty representation, teaching and learning staff and students as well. We connected either through real-time virtual meetings or through Microsoft teams and have developed the project. So when we first decided the outline of the project we knew that we had to have, we really wanted to build it around the exemplars and the kind of documents that instructors could, really requested that they needed for their courses and we used a lot of our student discussions to come up with the type of assignments that the students found most valuable. So we basically outlined the projects, having an introduction, some bank of exemplars and we built this in press books and we also have a WordPress landing page and again we did translate it into French. So that was also part of the budget. So let's take a look at it. So there's the website beyondtheexam.ca. This is our landing page, hopefully it goes up okay. There we are. So here we are landing in our beyond the exam and we have a little bit of information around what the toolkit is. There's the English version and the French version. So you can access either. But an important part that I wanted to point out is do you have an alternative online assessment to share? So there's a little submission form here. So if anyone has an interesting assignment that they'd like to add to our bank of exemplars, we have about, oh I should have counted, we have about 24 or so across disciplines, across like from an introductory level class to a more advanced group projects, individual projects, formative and summative assessments. But we really want to build this out to be a big robust alternative assessment bank. Let's go up back up and take a look. I'll just let me know how I'm doing for time too. Am I okay? I'm looking at my facility. Okay, thank you so much. All right, so let's go back here and I'll show you an example of one of the exemplars and I'll point out a couple of things. So we did a little bit of custom styling to pressbooks because we wanted it to look a little bit snazier. And here we are over contents. So the introduction is here. Sorry, I'm not used to these windows. So we had a student perspective just talking about how they wanted alternatives to conventional exams. It's a great opinion piece written by our students. We had the instructor perspective, which is a wonderful faculty member from Brock University. And I am totally in alignment with her style of designing a course is after week eight consolidates. So after week eight, she does not introduce any more material. That's when you assess all of the content that you introduced in the first eight weeks of a traditional 13 week course. We also applied Blooms taxonomy of everyone anyone's familiar with that taxonomy of learning and how you scaffold to deeper learning. So we did tag each of the assignment exemplars with the Blooms taxonomy levels looking for those, you know, higher levels of analyzing creating. So we talked about that in case we just gave an overview of Bloom. So in case people weren't familiar with that. But the bulk of the book or resource is in this, let's see if I was right 20, I said 24. Okay, I'll take a look at this one. This is one of since most of us mentioned project as being one of the most pivotal assignment examples in your educational history. So here's an example of a multimodal culminating project. So each example we use the same format. So we have a description of what the assignment is. We have guidelines. There's the guidelines on this particular assessment. So we could do a multimodal narrative. You could do a multimodal presentation. You could do a media artifact. We have proposal documents that can just be copied over and used for the instructor. There's a metadata document for for students feedback in Cacheek. So how the project is assessed. There's the evaluation criteria there. So we could use that for development of a rubric. And then we also included technology used for each of the examples in case they did use a particular technology needed a little bit of tips for students on how to use that. We also include facilitation tips for the instructor. So just how the project or how the assignment had gone historically. What what the student feedback was like. Maybe things that you might want to consider if you're considering implementing into a class. And then we also included student examples. So that was the basic format for each of the assignment examples. And that's so and so our our hope and dream for this is that we have more assignments added more exemplars from each of you maybe. But we also have other plans. We want to keep this project sustained and used. We originally intended to include a workshop design. So a whole part to the press book on how you might if you are in a teaching learning profession facilitate a workshop on the on alternative assessments with you know slides and activities and and and stuff like that. But also have a self paced opportunity for people who just want to go through and consider it on their own. So that is underway right now. It's not quite ready. We're the English version is complete but the French version is currently being translated. And we also realize that you know we have a small bank right now that we started with. But we want we hope that this will grow to be hundreds if not thousands. And if press books doesn't actually isn't actually the best way to host these that might be confusing. But we have to figure on how to categorize those assessments by individual group formative summative maybe by disciplinary area. So that's that's our next steps in this project beyond the exam. And we are I just want to do another plug for more exemplar. So please consider any examples that you'd like even if you're thinking Joanne I have this idea that I really like to talk about. I don't have all the instructions I can interview you and get all the instructions and do all the work for you. So we really would like to see that grow. So thank you so much. I just wanted to thank the McMaster Brock and Boreal Development teams and all of you for your attention on this. If you do want to get in touch with me either here I'm wandering around the conference but you can also email me or find me on Twitter. So thank you very much. Well there's a mic up here yeah. Thank you very much Joanne for your presentation. It's very interesting but my question is not for you. It's for the two people on the on the room here who said that they have all the kind of exam or something like that. I would be interested to hear about it. Oh the other the other projects. Yes. Yeah. The kind of project just to know so sorry about that. Yeah okay I want to bring the microphone down because it was you were sorry microphone I can actually bring one. Oh no there's one wireless one here. Oh here it comes. So anyone who I think it was anyone who said that they had something. Okay you're pointing. There yeah and you yeah. So yeah thank you so much for this presentation and I think the first the introduction with how do we learn more with which exam it's very very relevant because we have loads of exam and QCM and it's not the way we learn and the project based exams is really really impressive and I'm using it but when I think about how do I learn the more the most it's without any evaluation. It's my free will and my interest and it's very related to the project I'm working with. So it's I think the project base is very interesting because it's leading the people to what they will do in the future as well. It's preparing them to learn by themselves to achieve big project. That's a really good point and that's actually when we're talking about the project of course we were talking about ungrading and how we maybe we how do we capture those it really is an experiential learning when you're working on a project and learning the most and how do we capture those. So definitely how to be more creative and more personalized I guess into people how the way that people learn but I was wondering your your yes down here you had the um you put your hand up for an other assessment that was the most valuable for you and what was that. Well first of all thank you very much for your presentation Juan and maybe the first thing that the question that you have asked from what which assessment have you learned much brings me to a reflection it's not yet mature in my head but I think that the future would be like learning activities and assessment activities will convert so they wouldn't be two different things yeah because actually we assess to make sure that they have learned and if the mechanism is the same to assess that learning has occurred and then we don't need any other assessment mechanism and actually that driven me has driven me to three assessment methods that I had in my classes and for which I have an excellent feedback from the students and really serious students that I know they want to learn they don't want to grade. The first thing was simulations I'm an information systems professor so I teach ERP technologies and things of the sort and if you just tell them what is enterprise integration they wouldn't they wouldn't understand unless they were different hats so the project is just simulations about mega softwares where they play roles of production managers the warehouse whatever procurement specialist and they do the whole thing and actually maybe in a day or two they understand the whole curriculum of one year where you had to explain different modules different rules different privileges and stuff like that. So simulations was one the second thing I used and that was also very well appreciated is evaluation through content development there is a famous saying of Albert Einstein that says that I cannot really don't take me by the word but the meaning was if you cannot explain something so probably you don't understand it from the very beginning. So I brought my students to produce pedagogical videos about technology and technology concepts and technology usages and I was really they proved me that they understand everything first second I think that they have even presented bits and pieces that I couldn't present myself in this way. Yeah so this was great. The third was debates driven by learning objectives of a certain course so I had this was very difficult to scale because debates were different topics and you had to they had to defend against different questions and this had been you should have been leveled those are great again thank you. No no I'm answering the question that was asked. Okay so they were leveled to level them because it's not the question addressed to everyone or something is the same exercise but this also did great because they could find arguments and statistics and different things from the curriculum. That's great thank you so much for that and I know that I'm going to be contacting you for examples. You know I'm a Canada graduate and I'm very much voice to Canada. Oh great. Congratulations. Yeah thank you so yeah simulation teaching a lesson as kind of the second and then the debate are wonderful examples yes thank you. Thank you very much for this presentation and this idea it's great. I wanted to know about feedback so what do you mean by feedback is it I don't know is the results of the exercises or yeah a sort of satisfaction right from the students or both actually yeah it was we had feedback from from instructors who had implemented the assignment example you know how they found it what tips they would give another instructor so that kind of feedback and also the feedback was as what they heard from students. Yeah usually it's just data that we are already have collected through a course evaluation so that is shared back anonymously of course to us yeah great thank you. Hello I'd like to ask you a last question maybe yes so thank you very much for your very nice presentation my question is regarding actually actually my colleagues asked me first to ask a question regarding the licenses for for sharing yes and the second one my question is regarding the standards or the norms that you may be used for for the design of the assessment whether you are comfortable to IMS QTI question and test interoperability standard which makes maybe the operability of sharing and exchange exchanging these resources among platforms. Yeah thank you. Great thanks I think all of the assessment examples anything contained in the book is CC by NCSA so freely used and adapt to and yeah so I'm not sure I understood your second question I'm sorry yeah the format if it's adaptable definitely yeah and we're even finding that the technology used we didn't really apply in some instances it's like a learning management system or a word you know so yeah we definitely see that we see some adaptability that we might want to add different categories yeah thank you. I think I have just one last question. Oh sure. Just a quick one where do you see this being you know transformed or used in the next two years? Well that's where we want more examples to come in and to become like the source that people I know there's like we're so lucky we have so much so even when we first were helping faculty with that alternative online assessments there's so much out there available so we're just looking to hire more student development teams and getting asking instructors if we can use and build to our bank of exemplars so we have a lot and have them categorized so people can easily find them so communicating and disseminating and and hearing about how people with value that people find with the resource and and growing it from there yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you everyone.

Hi everyone! I am Milhitsa Terapevska. I am working for International Organization for Migration, IOM, for more than two years now, specifically based in Skopje, North Macedonia. I am working on establishing regional remote interpretation service for languages which are rare for this region and spoken by migrants. When I delivered the trainings on the use of this service to asylum officials, to case workers, they were really amazed how a blind person can navigate through all of this using a screen reader, a computer. The feedback that I got afterwards from the training participants was that they were even more motivated to start using the service. So it's really encouraging that IOM supports people with disabilities and a diverse pool of colleagues to actually make a real impact in their work. Whenever I have a challenge, I know I have very reliable colleagues to count on, plus my determination to actually resolve a problem helps me a lot in my work life.

This is Christian Buckley with another MVP buzz chat and I'm here today with Andrew. Hey Andrew. Hey, I'm well. How are you? Thank you for having me. Yeah, that's great to have you and I know that So why people that don't know who you are what you do where you're located? Why don't you give us the background of who Andrew is? All right? Well, the virtual background here is a Dropping a big hand as to where I'm located. I'm in New York City. I'm actually born and bred here in Manhattan and At one time I actually I had an office in that and that's all building I guess to my right Or to my left as the viewer sees it I'm very focused on data and analytics and business intelligence and more and more artificial intelligence And the whole data story has been the one constant in my career going all the way back a lot of that career was in Consulting and then about 10 years ago I pivoted to be more focused on actually covering it as a blogger journalist for ZD net and Also being an analyst kind of industry watcher in that space as well I do that directly and independently and I do a lot of Work in that regard with a research firm called giga ohm as well I've been talking about that for a while because I think We're in different Technology spaces what we focus on my background is collaboration technology But similar to you and I've worked at you know Microsoft to work for some ISV's and Went independent and I'm more on the marketing side But I do the the analyst in the independent research side of things Predominantly within the collaboration space and so I provide you know same thing I do independent research. I work with major University here and Do papers and and other kind of research? But I get called by reporters and things all the time and sometimes names sometimes not provide Input on different things that are happening around the collaboration space. So I'm just I'm fascinated by that side and obviously you do a lot of writing as well I do so it but like you the press was tapping me for comments all the time and then that kind of Commenting on things became a hobby and then I decided I really wanted it I really wanted to make it my legit thing. Yeah, how do you monetize that? That's always the question with those kinds of things where it's always a fine line between You know, you're asking a lot of questions. You're asking things that are more in-depth, right? These are things which I should be charging you for Other than you're doing your research your job for you, right, right? Well, I you kind of laid it out there even if you weren't explicit. There's going to be stuff where you're just covering Events and happenings and industry developments and maybe that is not something you'll monetize terribly Prolifically, but then as you do that you gain you get an awful lot of knowledge about the industry And then there are opportunities on the analyst side where those things can be Brought to bear professionally. So that's that's kind of my story Covering it as a journalist is not necessarily a huge jackpot, but because of the timing that I Started It ended up being where I was you know I was meeting a lot of the companies that we have now companies like cloudera companies like snowflake When it was early days and when the CEOs were very technical and because originally I'm from more of a technical background As a developer and as a database person and then as a consulting person it just led to fun conversations I think the folks were pleasantly surprised that I kind of knew what databases and bi were and And that the timing was just dumb luck I ended up really meeting lots of people in the industry early on and in the open-source analytics industry and then that just led to a good collection of people that I knew and and and a way to Tap into everything and keep current And of course, you know my background much like yours very much around the Microsoft stack in my case going back to the early 90s The first version of visual basic and the very first version of sequel server that ran on Windows Which even though it was the first version it was version 4.2 because of that early pedigree and because I got interested in Microsoft's business intelligence technology 20 years ago and it was new and I was on their partner advisory council for bi for about five years I just kind of grew up with all that stuff and I had a good understanding of the Microsoft stack and then really by being on the partner advisory council that's what opened my eyes to all the competition and Mary Joe Foley who covers Microsoft for ZD net knew that ZD net was looking for somebody to cover big data and she asked if I'd be interested and It took several months actually From that initial inquiry to when I started writing, but that's that's how it happened It all it all goes back to sequel server eventually Yeah, it's interesting because I saw I you know had a little bit of experience in that space and worked in the Data Warehousing World you know years back I worked for Pacific Bell and I was in a shared services organization actually for Telesis So we worked the parent company. We worked with PBIS the information systems was Pac Bell a primary customer And I was responsible for all the front-end applications business objects Data strategy sass kind of all those tools that were the front end of these things But I kind of moved away from those things in the project and portfolio management Which was kind of my stepping stone into Knowledge management information management systems and into kind of the SharePoint space like that direction What's interesting to me is that when you started to hear the phrase, you know, big data Being bandied about and I had worked for several years working with supply chain organizations And I owned project management side of you know that that world but was a product manager and project manager And and so when I started, you know Learning about these big data systems. I was like well big data that just sounds like so much of what I've been Doing, you know for these for these years. What's interesting is so you started to see companies like Splunk and others like major bi providers start to participate in TechEd and in other Microsoft, you know conferences My impression is that big data that term is kind of dissolving into because Yeah, I say this all the time that you know, you know any data issued in the modern Collaboration stack, you know, every problem is a big data problem You know massive amounts of data is the price of storage drop down and the complexity of all of these systems And it's really just a parallel to what we were doing and calling this separate space of big data, you know, five ten years ago Yeah, I mean even at that time it a Number of us understood that the notion of calling it big would be eventually would be kind of quaint and antiquated Yeah, and and really it was it was just data and in fact ZD not wanted to call the blog big data And I asked if I skewed it a little bit. I said can we call it big on data? and that is what it's called because Well, two things first of all, I knew bi was germane even then and I wanted to be able to talk about bi and not just What was all about Hadoop at that point, right? But also because I knew these things would come together at that time I was really out in the wilderness from relative to my Microsoft background Big data was all about open source and Linux And you know Apache Software Foundation projects and Microsoft at that time really wasn't there yet But eventually the two converged and I was I was pretty sure they would I also was pretty sure that That eventually data warehousing would become a legitimate big data Technology as well and and that happened to with Amazon with redshift and and snowflake eventually kind of made sure of that And yeah, we don't really say big data anymore We tend to say data and analytics and more and more we tend to talk about artificial intelligence and and machine learning Well, it's germane 20 years ago, too. It's just that we're called it data mining But one major shift and I think that Microsoft has a major role within that again My perception you might have deeper insights into this is that you know, Microsoft was seen as kind of slow to the party late to the party with a with a lot of this and whether that's true or not, you know Because as you kind of look back over technology I was just thinking of like the complaint now of slack against you know teams kind of thing and and somebody Wrote in our great article a couple days ago that said well If you go back and look at the history of teams and all of the products that you know It came from the link and communication server and kind of up through it's like Microsoft has been in this space for 15 plus years Yeah, and sure point for that matter, right? It's not just the meetings. It's the collaboration Which is and big data much the same way. I think one thing that Microsoft Has done really well is this idea of the democratization of bi and Bringing it to the masses and yes, there are I look I live here in the world like the domo headquarters is right down the street He's got you've got the all these other players that are out there, but so much of where we are with end-user. I mean I'm something I talked about in a webinar a few weeks back was the Ideas application the ideas functionality in Excel, which is like a gateway into you know the power bi link to your simple Simple Excel data and seeing these Visualizations and being able to map those and take those over to power bi and for end users that have no training in these tools to get kind of a jump-start in and Critic these visualizations. So Microsoft the whole Microsoft bi stack was also was always very close to Excel I mean really pivot tables in Excel were originally there to facilitate Having a decent interface to talk to cubes and SQL server analysis services and the two teams have had an intersection For quite a long time. I'm sorry to interrupt, but since you mentioned Excel. I yeah Well, better you talking to me I like I can hear myself talk all the time, but yeah, I feel the same way about myself But but in any case yeah, the Microsoft has been in the space for quite a long time Analysis services is actually kind of a seminal technology and it's query language MDX has been you know a thing in the analytics world For a long time and a real standard where they were weak for a long time Actually was stuff on the front end and and where they had the most success In fact was the intersection of Excel and SharePoint this thing called Excel services at the time That's really where they had their best bi stuff and it took Multiple iterations of trying eventually they got to power bi and that's that's where everything got really successful But it it took over a decade to to get there Well, Microsoft was always strong on the back end the front end was was much more arduous Oh, yeah, it's fine. It's my my way my path into the SharePoint world was through project server and deploying it I actually tried to talk my that first client where I my first real hands-on deployment Tried to talk them out of it going with a an early, but working Pure SAS Portfolio management solution that what they really wanted it wasn't like the interface side of it was the back-end It was the analytics around the data. We never got it working. We never really this was in 2004 2005 We never you know, it just wasn't I Know there's gonna be a lot of people that will complain about this it wasn't a working product in my experience It just it just didn't work And for those that will say is like well, you didn't have the right people working on it Like we've on Microsoft's advice hired the company that had deployed it in Coca-Cola And what we were trying to do which was pretty much down the brochure like this is what we want project analytics We want the data out of it We get the reality that we were asking for things which Microsoft made claims that they could do that Coca-Cola had never You know use they But anyway, I got to beat a all that integration back then was very brittle and very dependent on Kerberos authentication, which I think three people on the globe knew how to set up really well at that time Well, I think that in the end of that story there, of course is that I It was frustrated project server, but I caught the SharePoint bug Early and then you know the rest of it is history, but it's a but say I think it just it does go to say Microsoft's strength has long been while there might be very R&D dev ops focused solutions out there not that Microsoft doesn't do that side of it Microsoft has always been really good at taking these very complex concepts and ideas and technologies and Productizing it mainstreaming it for the business user and I think that's the evolution that has It's it's speeding up now. It's happening so quickly. I think that's right. There's there's iterations of that though So yes, they did that with straight database. They did it with bi They've largely done it with with big data with synapse analytics is is is bringing a patchy spark to bear and making it a lot More accessible than you know the the kind of open-source stack that you needed to get to it before although that works, too Where I think their next iteration is that they're really not that far down the path on is is making machine learning as Accessible to business users as the other stuff There is some integration between Azure machine learning and Azure cognitive services on the one hand and power of the eye on the other But there's there's a longer way to go And as your machine learning itself while I would say it's it's probably more business friendly than its competitors it is still largely kind of in the in the data science lane and Bringing it together with the rest of the stack. I think is the next the next important step For Microsoft and indeed for the industry because no one's really doing a great job at that yet Well, you think about you know, the probably the what Microsoft is working on now the next big thing that will be publicly available Mainstream will be project cortex whatever it ends up getting named and so there you have some of that It's the you know the productization of a lot of that technology. I don't know how much you're familiar with it If you're participating or providing, you know any input into some of the piloting that's that's happening now You know, well, what are your cortex? No, yeah, so that's one of those things where It's it's a way of going in and putting a front end and a dynamic Automated front end so leveraging kind of all those tools that the AI the machine learning the cognitive services the to be able to Better get you know surface intelligently data within your massive amounts of structured and unstructured content within your your system how that I will actually work and How it will be managed and how much will actually be automated versus curated are all things that we all want to see I'm I'm interested in that was kind of hoping you had a little more, you know inside view into what's happening with it But with that particular project, no But what I will definitely say the work that you know, I do directly through blue badge insights and and the stuff I'm doing with giga ohm and what's eating that I mean that is definitely, you know The desire out there is for machine learning to sort of enter the you know It's gonna be it's always gonna be technical most likely But to at least have it enter the mainstream kind of enterprise developer Technologist stack rather than this I was saying before kind of being in its in its own lane I mean there will always be a need for data science and data scientists, but we're not going to scale that population To the degree necessary to make machine learning really Accessible to the broader addressable market So we've got it. We've got a mainstream it more automated machine learning is part of the process of doing that that Makes it so that you can sort of bring your data to an ML platform And then the selection of algorithm and perimeter values and all the you know The nitty-gritty data science of it is something that can for a lot of use cases can be more more automated And then and then it really only takes a developer skill set or an analyst skill set to put it to use But there's even there. There's still a way to go Microsoft's auto ML is it's pretty good, but I Think on most most lists of like future job opportunities there, you know data scientists and just in any industry and So I've I've got three kids in college right now And I've said for to each of them and their respective areas like you know, think about one is kind of taking this up And like yeah, I'm gonna go actually added as a minor to his degree, which is a stem related. It's a atmospheric sciences Okay at the University of Utah and he added computer science with data analysis as a minor and so he's I'm like he's he's got of course all the licenses to all the Microsoft stuff and And so he's starting to pick up and learn about that stuff But you know, my belief is that if you take that data analyst route in whatever the field that you're interested in I mean, that's where the greatest opportunities are and that's why you see like where all the jobs gonna be in the next 20 years and Data scientists is like number one or number two and almost all of those lists Mm-hmm and and so anyway, it's so let me ask you the question about You know, what are you most excited about of what Microsoft is working working on? Stuff that's coming up that they've announced Obviously things that are publicly out out there Hashtag no leaks right right absolutely so I my answer might be counterintuitive to you although I alluded to it before but As long as it's not PowerPoint that'd be weird not PowerPoint It's it's synapse analytics, which is in large part a rebrand of what was Azure SQL data warehouse But what Microsoft is doing with it? First of all is adding data lake technology to the data warehouse technology and that's largely based on Apache Spark But beyond that what they're doing is they're tying in other services. They already had Including as your data factory and power BI and to a minimal extent thus far But hopefully a growing extent as your machine learning so my my biggest beef about the cloud You know time frame here whether we're talking about Microsoft or we're talking about Amazon or Google is that the cloud providers have been really good at putting out all these sort of disparate services all these building blocks But they kind of sit there as islands of functionality and there hasn't been a lot to kind of unite them into a single You know experience or just put it in a you know an integrated development environment where it can all be brought to bear That's actually the hallmark of synapse is that it's doing that And there's a decent possibility that similar integrations with some of the third-party tools will happen there as well so to me you know if we go with the cliche that the You know the hole is greater than the sum of the parts like that's the that's the upside here Most of what we have in there We already had if you put together as your machine learning power BI Azure SQL data warehouse and maybe HD insight which has spark as part of it You would have had a the same basket of functionality and technologies, but they weren't they weren't coordinated And so why is that though it just lost a ton of value and now now that value is starting to be realized Yeah, so so why is it why is it more fragment come together? Is that just the nature of the kind of the Microsoft research? Developing parts of it some from the product teams some coming from industry in that Microsoft adopts or Acquires in and it's just fragmented that way or or is it really that they're just they're going down Kind of the the paths with different areas They see the connections later, and it's just organically has to kind of come together. Is it? Kind of an all I think the last of those is is part of it I think a big part of it is just the cloud provider mentality, and it's a little bit strange for Microsoft because you know cloud is a pivot Obviously, they're an enterprise software technology by by trade or you know if you go way back they were building basic compilers for personal computers, but The cloud met the cloud mentality has been basically one of being a utility So we're going to put up service one. We're going to put up service two We're going to put up service three and we're in the business of billing for computing storage I mean I hate to sort of distill it down to that but that's kind of what happens and really we're going to leave it up to other people to Stitch those pieces together and come up with solutions But you know ultimately that's if you Even if your whole goal is to have pull-through on the basic services You need to have a value-added kind of experience that makes all those services more usable And it becomes a competitive necessity to do so so while for all of us who have been in the consulting field for a while It's great that you know we're we're relied upon to bring everything together I think it's still better if Microsoft provides a base level of integration There's always white space on top that solution providers can can build upon That's why Microsoft's partner, you know a network, you know the Microsoft partner network is just massive I don't know what the number with the claiming lately. I miss that on inspire last couple weeks was but it's What it's at least five hundred thousand global partners is probably more like, you know six to seven hundred thousand but yeah, just Massive numbers, but yeah, I was one CTO at a gold partner consulting firm and yeah, you know We'd every year we'd make the the pilgrimage to the partner conference now called inspire And yeah, you sure get you sure got this like humbling experience like I thought I was the you know this cool guy Partner with Microsoft and then you get there and there's you know, like everyone everyone special Everyone and the volume of special people's pretty darn high But it's always but I think to your point though. I mean one of the things that's It's just so exciting. I get your point. There needs to be that foundation You know people that are coming in they're looking to Microsoft to provide a foundation You get complaints when they don't find in one area that it's quite there There's not a working tool set that covers kind of all those different areas from a partner perspective of my Microsoft Always says is while they'll continue to innovate and add on and iterate on those things and maybe eventually Provide that tool set. I mean they they say like look There will be partners that are specialists in each of those areas Which will be better able to meet the customer needs But with that value add on to the core that we provide it's all yeah It's all a question of where you draw the line between Platform and solutions on top of the platform But also Microsoft's pattern largely as they go through like a period of lots of different teams innovating You know and building new things and everyone getting excited about that and then there's then there's another round where things get rationalized and brought together sometimes that's about branding sometimes that's you know down to the level of API's and standards but you know the The notion of integrating these things becomes a matter of fit and finish that tends to come as a sub subsequent Round of work not the initial round of work and the the cloud is mature enough where we're we're getting to that subsequent round And so that's what we've got you know It's interesting that with our with ourselves or our own companies and we give a lot of leeway to iteration to be able to kind of you know, it's failure find you know and then Kind of regroup Reiterate on that thing and push it back out there and we don't give that same Space to OEMs like Microsoft for those to go out there and learn and iterate But I mean that's just that we see what's going on. It's it's just happening a lot faster than it used to Which is an adjustment and I know my a Microsoft is struggling I think there's even been some calls to throttle some of the innovation that's coming out certainly in the Like teams the you know office apps and services space So slow down the slow thing that people can absorb it. Yeah. Yeah, so Yeah, and and as soon as they do then people will complain It's something's not happening fast. There's no way to win there So you can't please all of the customers and partners all of the time. No, no, you cannot but yeah And that the calls to slow down those happen every once in a while that to me That's a that's a that's an indicator of things that are good. I I've never really seen Microsoft heed that you know Eventually, they'll slow down. Anyway, actually, I believe big data was a huge Mostly a huge reaction to the fact that the entire Database and analytic space had been largely ossified for about 15 years. There had been very little change I mean sure a new version of sequel server every three years new versions of Oracle new versions of IBM DB 2 new versions of the bi platforms, but they were so incremental and so, you know evolutionary and You know things got, you know more and more expensive especially on the data warehouse side where a lot of the companies were really just Monetizing storage the big thing about Hadoop was they said, okay We're gonna make it so that the storage is just based on commodity discs inside of the commodity servers And we'll set it up. So if those discs fail, there's two more behind them and the whole reliance on enterprise storage and all of the Economic model that went with that was totally uprooted to me. That was what the big data Revolution was all about was just kind of upsetting that that High barrier to entry franchise of the way the data warehousing world worked Well, so that shift was happening around shift was happening like 2000 2001 You had a global grid foundation You had you're starting to look at that these compute farms and of ways of you know automated movement between those and just That that was an interesting time. I was in the IBM world at the time And working with rational software and and my own startup and that space and so saw a lot of you know interesting things But you're right It just it kind of got quiet for a while after that not that innovation wasn't happening, but it just it's cyclical I mean stability is good We need spit stability so that that slowdown that you were talking about can occur and we can digest everything and get good at it And you know kind of make things more navigable, but eventually you get too comfortable. I don't mean you Christian one gets too comfortable and And then what happens is there there's this build-up this pent-up demand for new stuff to happen and You know, it's you know, it's if you ever read the book by Thomas Kuhn the structure of scientific of Revolutions it's exactly what it is everything gets comfortable the theorems get all settled the science gets all settled and then There tends to be some big bang change that upsets the whole order of things and then a new a new order kind of Settles so yeah, it's you know, it's a fascinating space. It's you know Definitely a space to watch in the Microsoft ecosystem as well But Andrew people want to find out more about you get in touch with you. How do they reach you? Where do they find you? gosh www.bluebadgeinsights.com is one way and my first and last name all in one word Andrew Brust be our UST on Twitter Those are two good ways or just Google my name and the ZD net stuff and the giga-ohm stuff will will show up as well I have a lot of stuff out there. So the search engines are pretty good at flagging a lot of it Excellent. Well, I really appreciate your time this afternoon is great catching up with you and maybe one day We'll see each other again. I look forward to that and I hope it's I hope it's sooner rather than later This is this has been ongoing for a while and let's see what happens. Yeah, and enjoy that nice toasty weather there in New York City Every summer All right, thanks a lot. Be well. Take care

DeMille with Lewis Silver's conducting, this program comes to you direct from the Lux Radio Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where we bid a hearty welcome to your wall. Before we hear Anne Harding, James Stewart, and Conway Terrell in Madamex, may I remind you that summer is practically here with its cool, comfortable cottons, its wash suits and dresses and sport things. These clothes can look so fresh, so crisp and immaculate that it makes you cooler just to see them, and I don't have to tell you how comfortable they feel. There's no reason why your summer things should ever lose their cool, crisp new look. Lux is especially made to protect them. These delicate flakes are free from the harmful alkali too often found in many ordinary souls. Any color, any material that's safe in clear water alone is safe in gentle lux. Make a note to order lux tomorrow. You'll find the large-sized box most convenient. And now, the Lux Radio Theatre presents its eminent producer, that outstanding pioneer of motion pictures, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Anne Harding became an actress because she wanted to write. Employed by an insurance company in New York, she spent her spare time reading novels and plays for famous players last year, of which I was director general. Helping our studio in its search for picture ideas, when she decided to study stage technique, she visited the Provincetown players. They offered her the lead in their next production. Anne came five offers from Broadway, along with an automatum from her father, the late general George Gatley, commanding her to give up the stage or her home. Anne chose the stage, and eight years passed before the general admitted that an actress in the family, especially an actress like Anne, was no discredit to the Gatleys. Several months ago, Anne went abroad, made a picture in England, and triumphed on the stage in Canada. She returned last month to Hollywood with her husband, the distinguished conductor, Winner Janssen. Tonight in Madamex, she plays the title role. With the same speed that he displayed on the track while attending Princeton University, Lanky James Stewart has vaulted into picture popularity. At Princeton, he studied architecture, when he could tear himself away from playing the accordion. One summer he worked as an assistant to a magician, but there is no truth to the rumor that he became a lady killer by sawing a woman in half. In college, he went into summer stock, was stage manager for Jane Cowell, and soon after was acting on Broadway. Metro Golden Mayor brought Jimmy to Hollywood, and he's heard tonight as Raymond. In the role of Alan Cartwright, we present Conway Turr, an outstanding personality on the stage and screened for more than 20 years. Out of the limelight for a while, Mr. Turr made a remarkable comeback on the stage in Dinner at Eight, and is currently seen in Romeo and Juliet. Now for our play. Our stars make their entrance as the curtain rises, and the Lux Radio Theatre presents Anne Harding and James Stewart in Madamex with Conway Turr. The year is 1918, it's late at night, and in the richly furnished library of his home in New York City, Alan Cartwright paces the floor anxiously, waiting for news of his four-year-old son, who tosses feverishly on a sick bed upstairs. When the door to the library opens, Cartwright crushes out a cigarette with nervous fingers and turns quickly to greet the doctor. How is he? Is he going to change? He's much better, Alan. You mean? But he'll... He'll live. The crisis is over. His temperature has started to drop already. Oh, thank God. He'll be romping all over the house in a few days. Youngsters come back fast. All he needs is rest and quiet. If anything happens to Raymond, he's all I have left. Nothing's going to happen to him. Now pull yourself together, Alan. I've left a prescription with the nurse, and something for you, too. For me? I don't need anything. I'm as fed as a fiddle. Your nerves are raw, Alan. You've been working too hard, and now, with this, you need to rest yourself, man. Rest? How can I rest? I have a law practice to attend to. Your law practice doesn't demand that you kill yourself, does it? Take things easy. You've done nothing but work all your life. It's the only thing you know. That's the only thing worth knowing. And one thing more, Alan. I don't like to mention this, but I'm your physician and your friend. Well, Jacqueline has been gone for two years now. She's not coming back. You've got to begin to accept that fact. You think that's what's got me down? Well, I... Well, it hasn't. I've no intention of ever allowing her to come back. She's been calling here all day. Jacqueline? She heard Raymond was sick, wanted to see him. You're going to let her, of course. No. But Alan, she's his mother. She left him and she left me. Life wasn't gay enough for her here. I was very well in. But I make her own life. Make it or wreck it. She's young, Alan. Much younger than you. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps you were to blame too? For what? You were so absorbed in your work, you had so little time for her. It wasn't gaiety, Jacqueline wanted. It was companionship, love, she... She left Raymond, her own baby. There's nothing more to be said about it. Sorry, Alan. When are you coming to see Raymond again? I'll drop in later on my way from the hospital. Good night, old man. Good evening, ma'am. Good evening, Vessie. Is Mr. Cartwright in? Why... Yes, ma'am. That is, I'm not sure, ma'am. How is Raymond? I'm sorry, Mrs. Cartwright, but... But Mr. Cartwright said... Could he leave orders that I was not to be admitted, Vessie? Is that the problem? Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. Is that about the back again, Vessie? Let him in. Don't give him... Oh. Good evening, Alan. May I go, Vessie? Close the door. Yes, ma'am. Well? I've come to see Raymond. How is he, Alan? I told you not to come here. Oh, please. How is Raymond? Is he any better? The danger is over. Oh. Well, may I see him, please? No. All I want to do is open the door and look at him. He mustn't be disturbed. I won't disturb him. I'm sorry. But I'm his mother, Alan. I have a right to see him. You forfeited that right when you left him two years ago. I'm sorry, Jacqueline. I didn't leave him, Alan. I left you. I had to. It was a mistake. I admitted a great mistake. But I only meant it to be for a little while. Just...just time enough to think things over. Why didn't you answer my letters, Alan? I sent you money. Why didn't you answer my letters? I was busy. You were always busy, weren't you, Alan? That was always the trouble. I reached out for you again and again. I could never find you. You knew what you wanted, Jacqueline. Now you've got it. You left Raymond and you left me. And there's no returning. It's too late for that. You want a divorce, Alan? No. No? But you... Oh, I see. It isn't a good thing for a man to be divorced if he wants to be a judge. You'd sacrifice your whole life for that, and mine too, wouldn't you? It's my career, not yours. I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave now. I've come here to beg your forgiveness to ask you for one glimpse of my own baby. Too much excitement, Alan. I won't excite Raymond. I love him. But you won't let me near him. Clients, courts, the judges' robes. That's what your life is and all it will ever be. You don't know what love means. Get out! Opinions, decisions. Human beings aren't found in leather and failed with your law books. They live, they make mistakes. They forgive and love and keep on living. Oh, please, Alan, let me see him. Let me see my baby. No, Jacqueline. You say I'm hard. Well, perhaps I am. But it's for his good too. I don't trust you. You've made me too unhappy. You've ruined my life. You're not going to have a chance to ruin his. I should hate you for this, Alan, but I can't. I can't feel anything at all for you. Except pity. You don't know what you're doing. You don't know what it means. But someday you will. And you'll never forgive yourself, Alan. Never. Now light the candles on the cake, Betty. Hurry up. We'll surprise him. Ten candles. Ten years old today. It seems only yesterday he was abating. Better from Raymond, Alan? Yes, and listen to this. When my sophomore year's over, I'm planning to switch to pre-law. Pre-law, Perry, what do you think of that? I privilege this day to award them their diplomas. May they practice their profession in uprightness and in honor. Will the men step forward, please? Albert Ainsworth? John Butler? Howard Bridges? Raymond Cartwright? James Carvell? On Butler, Howard Bridges, Raymond Cartwright. There you are, Dad. My name on the newspaper. I see it, son. You can just about see it, yeah? Pretty small print, isn't it? Well, it'll be larger someday. Not as large as yours, I'll bet. Did you see that story on the record this morning? Alan Cartwright sworn into the state supreme court. I got a real kick out of that. Yes, so did I. You've been working for it long enough. All my life, son. Now it's here. You must feel pretty good. Yes, I suppose I do. Well, I don't see you throwing any hats into the air or anything. You know, if I ever just get one case, I'll be a success, you know? Well, success isn't everything, son. You'll find that out as you get older. There's more to life, oh, much more. There's such as what? A home, friendship, family. A clear conscience. But you have those, Dad? Well, I have. Most of them. You've been my family, Raymond. Well, I guess I haven't been much help. It might have been different if mother had lived. What was she like, Dad? She thought we were never to mention your mother's name. Oh, I know, I promised, but why not? It was such a long time ago, and everyone likes to know something about his mother. What she looked like, where she came from, what she did and said. You've never even told me her name. She, uh, she died when you were four. You were ill at the time. Where is she buried? Where is mother buried? Oh, a long way from here, Raymond. I'll take you there someday. What was her name, Dad? Jacqueline. Jacqueline. A beautiful name. She must have been beautiful. Albert Amesworth, John Butler, Howard Bridges, Raymond Cartwright. Raymond Cartwright. Who is it? Come on, open up. Just a minute. Oh, come in, Johnny. Are you getting kind of exclusive, ain't you, Jackie? Locking your door now, huh? I'll be right to privacy in my own dressing room. Sure, but not when the customers are waiting for a number. Come on. I'll be ready in a minute. What have you been doing? Reading the newspapers. Why? New York papers, huh? What do you read them for all the time? The news is three days late. That's my business, isn't it? Sure. And maybe the San Francisco sheets don't carry the stuff you're interested in, huh? What are you talking about? Now, don't give me that, Jackie. I know you too well. Who is this guy, Cartwright? If you'll get out of here, I'll get ready for my number. Come on, come on. Who is he? I've got a whole drawer full of clippings on him. How do you know that? Don't be foolish. I looked. You're frank enough. Why not? Alan Cartwright, a prominent attorney and son of Raymond, vacation at Palm Beach. Alan Cartwright, appointed to Supreme Court. Who is he, Jackie? Come on, loosen up. Now, what are you trying to do? Shake him down? Get out. A Supreme Court judge, huh? He's a hot number. He got something on him. Did you hear what I said? Get out of here. Get out. Now, you see, you get yourself all worked up. You'll be pulling one of those fancy yours in a minute. You want a drink? No. Oh, I was just thinking. If you have got something on this bird, you ought to come again. You know, for old time's sake. I may be pretty low right now. I may have stepped down pretty far to be working in a place like this and for a man like you. But I haven't reached your level yet. Now, get out. All right. That's the way you feel about it. See you outside, Jackie. Come on, buddy. What do you want, boss? Come on out. Send a wire for me. Joe Harper in New York. Tell him I went some dope on a guy by the name of Alan Cartwright. Supreme Court judge. Okay. And look, I want to know especially about his wife, see? Who she was and where she is now. Tell him to get everything he can. I'll meet him in New York a week in Saturday. Okay. Joe, yep. Yeah, I got the stuff you left here. Oh, I swear. Just what I wanted. And oh, no, I can't see you now, Joe. Come around to the hotel tomorrow. So long. Who is it? Hello, Tony. Well, if it isn't Jackie. How are you, Jackie? All right. I didn't expect to see you here. Well, they told me you'd gone to New York. So I followed you. Yeah? What for? Just to make sure you didn't try anything that might get you into trouble. Thanks. Well, I don't need any advice from you, see? I got everything I need, Jackie, and it's a swell story. Is it? You see, I know who you are and who your husband is, and your son, too. And what are you planning to do with that information? I'm going to do with it. Well, you didn't have the nerve to do. I'm going to use it. To blackmail him. Oh, no. I'm just going to tell him where his wife is and what she is. Oh, no, you're not. And who's going to stop me? I am. You're not going to ruin my son's career, Tony. I'm not the type to stand by and see you wreck his life. Yeah? What do you think you're going to do about it? It's very simple. Huh? Put that gun down. You don't scare me. I'm not trying to scare you. You know where you land, don't you? That doesn't worry me. I can't last much longer anyway, so I've got nothing to lose. You have. Sure. Sure, about $10,000. I'll let you bluff me out of it, but you can't see, because I'm going to see him right now tonight. I'm not bluffing. I mean it. Stay away from my husband. Get out of my way. I'm warning you. Stay away from my husband. I'll show you what I think of you and your warnings. Don't open that door. Well, why don't you shoot? Stay away from that door, I tell you. So long, bluffers. What's the matter with you? You're in my room. What's up? I heard it. God, that woman. I've got the police. Who may are you? Get your hands off me. I didn't. I'm not trying to escape. I killed him. Let's stop a minute in a bright and shining little kitchen near Glendale. Brother Bob is staying overnight with Walter and Sally. Walter has just gone out to put the car up. Sally is about to do the dishes, while Bob leans against the cupboard in the door. Oh, Lux Flakes. So you use Lux for dishes, too? Indeed I do. No dishpan hands for me. Yeah, that's what Kay says, too. And she ought to know. Remember how she complained last winter about dishwashing making her hands sore? You bet I do. Just about the time you came on here for a visit. Honestly, I didn't believe a girl's hands could look so rough and red. All split around the nails, too. And all because she was using a harsh soap for dishes. Trying to save money, she said. Well, I got her to change to Lux. Honestly, it was almost unbelievable how much better her hands looked in just the short time I was there. She says she finds Lux isn't at all expensive. She sure is proud of her hands now. But I didn't know she had you to thank for it. Not me? It's the makers of Lux she should thank. Lux hasn't any harmful alcohol, you know. It gets the dishes clean in no time at all. Look, I'm practically through already, thanks to... To me, as inspiration. But most of all, to Lux. Once again, Mr. DeMille. Anne Harding, James Stewart and Conway Tull continue in Madam X. Arrested for the murder of Tony Phillips, Jacqueline is taken to police headquarters. In an office of the homicide bureau, she sits in the glare of a blinding electric lamp. Two detectives are cross-questioning her. Captain Keen leans close and wraps his hand sharply on the table. Come on, come on, come on. You admit that you killed a man by the name of Tony Phillips? You admit you went to the hotel Trent for the purpose of shooting him dead? Now who was it? What was it to you? He was nothing to me. And why did you kill it? I won't tell you. You must have had a reason. What was it? I won't tell you. All right, sister. But you're making it a lot tougher for yourself. You know that, don't you? You know what'll happen to you, don't you? Yes. Yes, I know what will happen to me. And why don't you come clean? Come on, give us the dope. We're only trying to help you. I have nothing to say. You're waiting for your lawyer, is that it? I have no lawyer. But you're going to have one. No. No use, chief. Let her send her back till we get a chance to work on this thing. Wait a minute, wait a minute, Murphy. I'm going to give you one more chance, sister. I won't ask you who the man was. I won't ask you why you shot him. All I want to know is one thing. Who are you? What's your name? Where do you come from? Come on, come on. What's your name? What's that, can't you? What's your name? Who are you? Who are you? All right, Murphy. And her back. Flynn. Yes, sir? Take her back to herself. This way, sister. Well, that was a nice waste of time. I don't see what you're so worried about, chief. It's an open and shut case. She walked into a hotel room and drilled a guy. She admits it, even. Yeah, yeah, sure she admits it. But how do you know what she'll admit when she gets on the stand? That's what counts, Murphy. What she says in front of twelve good men and true. You say the same thing. She didn't even want a lawyer. Well, the court will take care of that for her. Yeah. I'll appoint someone to represent her. Some kid, probably. He can't even find his way to the witness chair. She sure is a sucker for not talking. In interest of justice, it is the duty of this court to see that the accused is ably represented by counsel. To that end, and to assure the accused of a just trial in accordance with the laws of this state, the court hereby appoints as counsel for the defendant, Raymond Cortrack. Hello, dad. Well, come in, Raymond. Well, I've got it. What? My first big case. Look me over. Good boy. The first one's always the hardest, you know. Yeah, and don't I know it? Of course, there's not much glory attached to this one. It's one of those assignments. Oh, well, well, it's a start, Raymond. Well, that's where I look at it. Criminal case, that's close. Yeah, she's charged with murder. Oh, woman, eh? Mm-hmm. Any evidence? Well, that's the whole trouble, you know. It's all evidence. She'd miss everything. She won't talk about it. Won't even give her name. Oh, yes. I think I read something about it in the papers this morning. What is it, the reporters are calling her? Yeah, trust them to give her the name. They're calling her Madam X. That's it. Well, if I had you a nice one for your first case, how are you handling it? Well, I haven't decided that yet. Well, you have to get it to talk. Any luck so far? No, I haven't even seen her. She wasn't in the court when I got the assignment. I'm seeing her at the tombs at four o'clock. I, you know, I don't know what I can do for her if she won't give me anything to go on. And, well, if she admits everything now, it's sort of hopeless, I guess. Well, you can't tell. You can admit the murder and still get an acquittal, you know. Temporary insanity. Self-defense. Extenuating circumstances. Oh, it's been done before. Yeah, I know, but isn't that sort of drawing a little fire? Oh, not a bit. You see, justice is a funny thing. There's a district attorney on one side, a counsel for the defense on the other. Your job is to present your client's case in its most favorable light. Just as it's the DA's job to convict her if possible. If you can dig up any fact that might conceivably influence a jury to vote not guilty, it's your right and your duty to use those things. A human life depends on it. Depends on you. Yes, I know. It's a big responsibility, isn't it? Yes. Anything I could do to help? Oh, no, no, thanks, I'd rather have it myself. Oh, of course, we'll go to it. And the best of luck. Thanks, Dad. You're a better man than the whole homicide squad. How long has she been in here? Ten days. You ought to come to trial pretty soon. No use in delaying on these open and shut cases. Have you questioned her since you brought her in? Every day. She won't talk. She won't even eat. She just sits there and stares at you. It's enough to give a man the creep. She still won't give her name, huh? No. She says her name is William. Laura Williams. She admits it's a phony. It's only for the records. Here we are. You've got a visitor, sister. Go ahead, son. All right, son. I'd like to see her alone, of course. Sure. I'll be at the end of the car of it. Just yell when you want me. How do you do? What do you want with me? If you've been sent here to question me, you're wasting your time. I've nothing to say. I've told him I... No, no, I'm not an officer. I'm your attorney. I told him I didn't want an attorney. No, but you have to have someone to plead your case. You see, that's the law. I was appointed by the judge. Well... Well, if I'm to represent you, I've got to know something about you. Who you are, where you came from. You'll tell me that, won't you? My name is Laura Williams. Oh, but that's not your real name. They asked me my name for the records. I told them my name was Laura Williams. That's all I have to say. But I... That's all I have to say. You're not being very fair. You're not being fair to yourself or to me either. You? Yes, I... You see, this is my first case. Oh. That doesn't sound very encouraging, does it? But I think I can help you. That is, if you're just giving me the chance. Now, I did want to make a showing on this. So if you don't want to do it for yourself, perhaps you'd be willing to help me. You're very young, aren't you? Oh, I'm 24. 24. I had a son. He'd be 24 now, too. And he's just... Then he's alive. I didn't say that. I'm sorry. I know it hurts to be reminded when you've lost someone near to you. Have you ever lost anyone? Yes, I... My mother. Oh. She died some time ago. Oh. But we were speaking of your son. Now, he's still alive. I'd rather not talk about it. Has he anything to do with the man that was shot? No. Oh, let me alone. Please just let me alone. But I've got to defend you. I don't want to be defended. I killed that man. I walked into his room at the hotel trend and I shot him. Is there anything more to be said? I'm perfectly willing to pay for what I did. But don't you see, there may be no reason why you should pay. That's all I'm trying to find out, just what the motive was. You see, you might have had a good reason to kill him. I did. Did he threaten you in any way? No. It wasn't self-defense then. No. Did he threaten anyone near to you? No. Your son perhaps? No. Why do you keep bringing up my son? Well, that's the only thing I know about you. That you have or had a son. I'm just groping in the dark. That's all I'm trying to help you. You can't blame me for that. It's just my job. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, too, that this had to be your first case. But you mustn't take it too much to heart. Everything's against you. Nobody expects you to win. Hello, hotel trend. What name, please? Just a moment, please. Hello, room service. Hold on a minute. Hello, hotel trend. Yes, ma'am. What name, please? One moment, please. Excuse me. What do you want? The manager said I could speak to you for a minute. Yeah. Take my calls. Okay. Well... Uh, my name is Raymond Cartwright. Are you the girl that was on the switchboard the night the man was shot in 518? Yeah, why? Oh, I want you to think hard and try to remember. Did he receive any calls that night? Yeah, he got a call about 80 o'clock. You're sure? Sure, it was a man called. I remember because it was just a couple of minutes before the fellow was shot. You didn't tell the police? Well, I didn't think it was important, was it? No, that's all right. That's all right. Now, look. When that man called, did he mention his name? Now, come on. Think hard. Now, come on. Yeah. He said his name was... Oh, wait a minute now. Harper. Harper. That's what it was. Joe Harper. You're sure of that? Yeah, we always ask what name. And I remember because my boyfriend's name is Harper. That's fine. That's fine. Thanks. You keep this quiet, will you? Oh, sure. Hello? Yes? What do you find? Well, now, keep looking. Will you try this city directory? Try anything you can think of. Now, we've got to locate this Joe Harper before we go on trial. All right. All right. Thanks. Oh. Hey, look, son. Nothing yet. I could just get this man Harper. I might learn something. I've got two men working on it right now. What about the woman? Have you asked her? She doesn't know him. She does. She's not saying. I can't get her to talk about this case. She's just not interested. They brought her the notice of the trial. She didn't even read it. She doesn't even know my name and I'm defending. When do you go to trial? Thursday morning. Doesn't leave you much time, does it? I tried to postpone it, couldn't get it. You know, Dad, it's funny. This thing's got me. Well, that's natural. Your first criminal case? No, no, that's not the reason. There's just something about that woman. Something I can't explain. You think she's innocent? No. No, but I have a feeling somehow that what she did, she had a good reason for doing it. She was protecting someone I'm sure of it. Well, silence seems a pretty good indication of that. I'd use that point in the summing up if I were you. No, I'm going to. I don't know what good it'll do, but the only thing I've got to go on so far. She's never given you anything else? No, except that first day about her son. She talks to me now, though. What about? Oh, about everything except herself. She sort of rambles on as if I weren't there, but every once in a while I catch a glimpse of something in her life. Something dark and sordid, something that's been gnawing at her for years. And she's been through hell that woman. It's in her eyes. But then there's something beautiful there too. Something I've got to save if I can. I think you will, son. If you feel like that, I don't think there's anything that can stop you. I'm going to see her once more, just before the trial. I'm going to ask her if she'll go on the stand. You think there's a chance? Well, I don't know. I can only try. I think I'll be there to watch you, son. You know, I've got a feeling that I'm going to be very proud of you. Whether you win or lose makes no difference. Remember that, my boy. I'll be ready for us in just a few minutes, son. We're just waiting for the judge. You feel all right? I'm all right. I just wish it were over, that's all. Before we go out there, I'm going to ask one favor of you. Please don't refuse me. What is it? Well, I want you to take the stand. Testify for yourself. No, I can't do that. You won't have to tell them anything. I just, I just want that jury to hear you speak. I'm sorry. I don't like to refuse you, but I can't do that. I'm sorry too. I've tried to help you. I don't feel badly about it. There's nothing more you can do for me. I appreciate what you've already done. You've been very kind. You know, you've never even asked my name. They don't matter very much. But you are that counts. And you've been kind. Thank you. You don't know what it's meant to have someone to talk to, someone who understands things you do. I'd have gone mad just waiting there. Tell me, haven't you any friends at all? Oh, I did have. What? I think I had everything that a woman could ask for. But I made one mistake. I threw it all away. And it's so easy to keep on making mistakes once you've started. There's no turning back then. You just go on, step by step, always a little lower. Till at last there's nothing left but memories and bitterness and ache in your heart for what you might have been. They say time heals everything. I don't believe that. I've never been able to forget, I've never wanted to. That's why I'm glad it's over now. I'll find peace where I'm going. Peace and rest. And I need them so. Come in, please. Almost ready. All right, thank you. I'll be right outside here when you want me, Mr. Cartwright. Cartwright? Is that your name? Yes, I'm Raymond Cartwright. Oh, God. What is it? Well, why do you stare at me like that? You're going to defend me? Yes, yes, of course. And that's why I want you to go on the stand just to tell them. You don't know what you're saying. You don't know what it means. What's the matter? Here, give me your hand. Now, get a hold of yourself, please. I'll be all right. Now. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. K and X Los Angeles, The Voice of Hollywood. John Harding, James Stewart, and Conway Toll return shortly in Madamex. Tonight's play concerns one type of court. Now we hear from a young woman who's made history on another kind. Seven times Wimbledon tennis champion, seven times United States champion, and four times champion of France, an unequal record. Helen Wills Moody as one of the greatest of all women athletes. I introduce her tonight with the hope that you settle a question in the mind of everyone who follows this sport of king and commoner. Mrs. Moody, have you given up tournament tennis for good? Or is there a chance you'll return? I should like to go on one more tour which would include Wimbledon and Forest Hills. It's difficult, however, to leave home for such a long time as is required for the summer tournaments. But there is something irresistible about tennis, and I find myself playing regularly at home in San Francisco four or five times a week. In a few days the matches will begin at Wimbledon. That must be rather a hard call for you to resist. Indeed it is, but after all, it isn't Wimbledon or championships that make tennis such a grand game. It's the finest sport in the world because it's everybody's game, a sport for all ages. When I was in Stockholm I played with King Gustav of Sweden, who's still on the courts in the late 70s. Here in Hollywood you'll find many of the stars playing remarkably well, not only for exercise but because they know tennis develops toys. Among them are stars like Earl Flynn, Clark Gable, Gilbert Rowland, Warner Baxter, Greta Garbo, Ronald Coleman, and Merle O'Bron. I understand that now you're devoting a lot of time to designing clothes and painting. How does an artist brush feel in a hand accustomed to a tennis racket? The field are not so far removed as you may think, Mr. DeMille. The action of a tennis game, the sweep of the strokes, the graceful lines, the rhythm of motion are qualities that lend themselves very readily to an etching or a pencil sketch. Look at a good painting and then at a good game of tennis and you'll find a kindred artistry. As for clothes, my interest in designing was stimulated when I once found myself with a match on my hands but no outfit. I was in a large city and yet couldn't find a store that had sensible sport clothes. Most of my designs have been for active sportwear but I have also done some bathing suits and suite dresses. Since I've been doing this designing work, my attention has been called to the problem of keeping up the attractiveness of sportwear and I know that the answer has been found in the use of luxe flakes. Sportwear lasts longer, looks better and stays fresher when cared for with a splendid product responsible for this program. It's obvious, Mrs. Moody, that you believe in having a variety of interests. Yes, I believe if you have one main interest and a variety of lesser interests, it makes for greater happiness in proof of which I've also tried my hand at writing and I've just completed a book. I've called it 15 to 30 because it deals not only with tennis but with the experiences I've had and what I hope I've learned during those years. All my thanks, Mr. DeMille, for asking me to appear in the Luxe Radio Theatre. I'm sure you'll be a champion among authors too. And now, back to the story of Madamex, starring Anne Harding and James Stewart with Conway Tove. The knowledge that our own son is to defend her seals Jacqueline's lips even tighter than before. We're in the courtroom where the trial is almost ready to begin. In the enclosure near the judges bench, Alan Cartwright sits at a long table. Beside him is his old friend, Dr. Chesney, who's come to hear Raymond plead his first case. Has Raymond any kind of a chance at all, Alan? Well, not on the facts alone, Ferry, but you make a good showing. He's convinced in some manner that the crime was justifiable. He's got his heart in it. That's always a help. He's a little young to be swaying juries on sentiment alone. Well, we'll see. The court will please rise. The Court of General Sessions is now in order. The Honorable Gerald M. Darrett presiding. Please read it, please. The case of the people versus Laurel Williams. There she is. She just came in with Raymond. He looks worried. I hope he... Ah, Perry! What is it? That woman. Look at her. Who is she, Perry? It does look like... But she can't be a cause. She is. It's Jacqueline. Jacqueline here is caught on trial for murder. Sit down, Alan. I've got to speak to her. You can't do that, not now. Besides, you're not even certain that it is Jacqueline. Not certain. Oh, God. Don't you think I know her face? Haven't I seen it every time I've closed my eyes for the last twenty years? Oh, that you can't do anything. It's too late, man. It's in Raymond's hand now. Her son. Her old son. And he doesn't know. There's nothing to be done now, Alan. Nothing. You sit down right over here. Thank you. Feel better now? Yes. Is the state ready? Ready, Your Honor. The defendant ready? Ready, Your Honor. Proceed with the case, please. The state versus Laura Williams. The defendant is charged with the willful murder of one Tony Phillip on the night of May 4th, 1937. Gentlemen of the jury, are the facts that the state will bring forward. By the defendant's own admission, she committed an act of murder. But the law of this state is such that we cannot force her to testify against herself. Therefore, the state will present its witnesses as rapidly as possible. Witnesses who are at the scene of the crime only a few seconds after its commission. The first witness, a woman who had the adjoining room. I was alone in my room and I heard a shot. I ran out into the hall. I didn't hear the shot, but when I got out there, there were about four or five people standing around the door of room 518. They were banging on it. I ran up to the door and tried to find out. There she was standing over him with a gun in her hand. The gun was still smoking. She said, I killed him. I'm not trying to escape. I killed him. That's all she'd say. And then I went downstairs to find an offer. As presented by the state, the counsel for the defense has shown no flaw in any of the testimony he's heard, nor has he offered to produce any witnesses to refute this testimony. Your honor, gentlemen of the jury, the state rests. No, please, please. We can't let her just go with that. You've got to speak. You've got to tell me. No, don't say any more. Don't try to defend me. Let them send the jury out now. It can't make any difference, Raymond. Why do you call me Raymond? I don't know. You did it once before, too. I'm sorry. No, please. Please, but you say it as if it had some meaning to you. Do I? We'll counsel for the defense. Present his case, please. No, don't say any more. Please, I've got to. Your honor, gentlemen of the jury, you have just heard the state's case, and you have heard no denials by the defendant. The defense has no witnesses to present, and I am frank to admit that the defendant, in spite of my counsel, has repeatedly refused to take a stand on her own behalf. Now, this would seem to indicate that she has reason to be afraid, but we must look deeper than that. Now, this woman, gentlemen, whom you see before you, has admitted her guilt openly. She has nothing to lose by testifying. On the contrary, she has only to gain by it. But still she refuses. Now, there must be some reason for this. And from my conversations with her, before this trial opened, I am firmly convinced that she is keeping silent for one purpose and for one purpose only. To protect and shield someone near to her. Someone she loves. Yes, gentlemen, there is a mystery surrounding this woman. The newspapers have called Madam X. Who is she? Where does she come from? Whom is she shielding? Whom is she protecting? Is it a husband, a daughter, son? She told me she had a son. At my age. And she refused to speak any more of him. But he lives. Now, perhaps he faced some great danger. I don't know what, but she knew and she killed to protect him from it. Now, you will say that this is supposition. Well, it is, gentlemen. It is supposition. But our law states that where there is a reasonable doubt of guilt, the defendant must be deemed innocent. Well, there is doubt here. Not as to actual fact, but as to motive. And the courts of our state have recognized time after time, case after case, that there is such a thing as justifiable homicide. Let me through here. Let me through. Your honor, I'd like to speak to the counsel for defense, please. Counsel for defense is coming up his case. This is no time. Your honor, if the court so pleases, this man is in my employ. Now, if he wants to speak to me now, I assure you it has direct bearing upon the case. Very well. Go ahead. All right, what is it? Joe Harper. I found him. What is he here now? Sure. I served him with subpoenas. All right, all right. Now get him up here quickly. Your honor, your honor, I, I ask the court to pardon for this interruption. I also ask the court for permission to introduce a witness for the defense. This is my text. The counsel has already become his subject. A human life is at stake here. Objection over who? Your honor, I ask the court to call Joseph Harper. Joseph Harper to the stand. Please, my man. Gentlemen of the jury, I have never seen this witness. Now, his testimony may act to the advantage of the defendant. It may act to her disadvantage. But regardless of that, I believe he knows something about this case. What's your name? Joseph Harper. Where do you live, please? 618 West 74th St. Now, I want you to look at the defendant. Have you ever seen her before? No. You don't know who she is? No. Now tell me this. Did you ever know a man by the name of Tony Phillips? Did you? Yeah. Did you call him on the telephone at the Hotel Trent on the night of May the 4th? I guess so. No, no, did you, or did you ask the question? Yes. Why did you call him? Well, he asked me to. When was that? A week before. He sent me a telegram from New York. No, no, no, San Francisco. He wanted me to do him a favor. What was that favor? Well, he asked me to get some information for him. What about it? Did I have to answer that? What about? Well, it was about a person that he was private. No, no, don't answer. Don't answer, do you hear? No, don't let him tell. Take him off the stand. Don't question him anymore. I'll do anything. You won't. I'll do anything. But please, please don't let him speak for my sake. Please. Through what you said, I was protecting someone. It was my son. The man I killed was going to blackmail him and my husband because of me. He was going to wreck my son's life and my husband's career because of what I was, what I am now. That's why I couldn't speak. That's why I can never speak. In God's name, please don't ask me to tell. Don't ask me to give up my life for nothing. I'm not afraid to die if I know that he'll be safe. He's my son. My son whom I've never known and who's never known me. You can take my life if it's worth this thing anyway, but please, please let him have his. She's fainted here. Get her doctor quickly. How is she, Perry? Has she come around yet? Not quite. She's in pretty bad shape, Alan. Where's Raymond? He asked him to wait at the corridor. Did you tell him about Jacqueline? Yeah. It wasn't easy, Perry. How did he take it? He wanted to come in to see her. I made him wait for the jury to come back. He'll get an acquittal. It's almost sure. I wonder how much good it will do, Alan. What do you mean? She's coming, too. Jacqueline. Jacqueline, do you hear me? Alan. Yes, darling? I saw you in the corridor. I was so afraid you'd tell me. I wanted to, Jacqueline. No, no. Better. Better this way. Much better. I know everything you've done has been for me and Raymond. I can't tell you. Don't cry. You told me once that I'd never forgive myself for what I did. I never have, Jacqueline. I tried to find you. Oh, so many times. But I'll make it all up to you. I swear I will. I'll make you happy again, Jacqueline. I'm happy now. So very happy. Come here, Raymond. Raymond. Does he know? Yes, I know, Mother. Raymond. It's all over, Mother. The jury has come in and they've acquitted you. We can go home now. Home. I only wish I could. But you can. You're going to. Give me your hand, Raymond. All these years I've been so proud of you. And all these years you've thought of me as a green mother who died long ago when she was young and pretty. Please, try to go on thinking that. How am I thinking? But I've found you, Mother. I can't lose you again so quickly. That isn't in our hands, Raymond. I don't know what you mean. Now you mustn't be sad. You mustn't think too much about me. Because I'm not sad. I'm happy, Raymond. Happier than I've ever been in all my life. Mother. Mother. Dr. Chesney, what is it? We found her. Too late, my boy. James Stewart stepped on their tragic roles and speak to us as themselves in just a moment. From a different part of the country we now present another madamex and her son whose name also is Raymond. They will tell their own story. This time the actual story of a mother and son lost to each other for 18 years. Today they're reunited, but up until now have refused all requests to tell their amazing story to the world. This evening they consented to come to the Lux Radio Theatre and tell it in person. It's my pleasure to introduce to you the young gentleman and his mother who present their proof of the adage that truth is often stranger than fiction. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Raymond Mere and his mother who speak to you from New York. Thank you, Mr. DeMille. For the last 18 years I have believed my mother dead. Every time I asked my father about her the only answer I could get was that she had died when I was three years old. My father had remarried in the meantime and two years ago he died. A year and a half ago I got a job watching at the Paramount here in New York where I am now assistant chief washer. Two months ago on my day off I was in the neighborhood trying to stop in at the theater and there I was handed a message. It was sent by my stepmother and all it said was your mother is in town and wants to speak to you. I have read stories like that and I have seen such things happen in the movies. Madam makes his one, I remember but I never thought it would happen to me. But you had known, haven't you mother that someday it would happen? Yes, Raymond. I just knew that you were alive and I couldn't find you. I could hope I might someday. Do you know why my father would never let you see me? He had his ideas of how to bring you up and I had mine. We couldn't agree. We separated and he traveled a great deal and once he took you with him I never saw you again. But Raymond, you tell the story. I'd rather just listen to you. All right. My mother tried every means to find me for 18 years but she never could. Finally, two months ago she did discover a clue to where I had been working. She went to that firm in New York and as it turned out the woman she interviewed there was my stepmother. Neither knew who the other was. My mother asked for me and my stepmother not knowing her was very cautious at first. They took a liking to each other and finally my mother revealed her identity. The whole story came out then and convinced of the truth of it my stepmother sent that message to me at the Paramount. I went to her office immediately and she told me to go to a certain address where my mother was staying with friends. I went and when I walked into the room and saw mother I thought I must be looking into a mirror. We looked so much alike. Raymond, I never even asked you how did you feel when you first saw me? I don't really know. I was so stunned that I don't know whether I felt anything, really. I can't even remember what I said and I'm not sure. I know what you said, do you? No, I just remember. All of a sudden I couldn't see you. I guess I was crying. Very soon after my mother and I were reunited we began checking over places we had been where we might have met. We discovered that one month before she found me she had been in New York and some friends insisted that she go to the movies with them. They went to the Paramount and as my mother still says it was very dark inside. Maybe you are the young man who took me to my seat. And now, mother, I think it's time we said goodbye. From Hollywood we send our thanks to Mr. Meir and his mother and the hope that their new found happiness will be with them always. Before Mr. DeMille brings Anne Harding and James Stewart back to the microphone may I remind you that the Lux Radio Theater is the city of the makers of Lux Flakes. The familiar blue box has a friendly place in most of the homes you know. These gentle flakes are made especially to safeguard fine silks and woolens. You'll find them kind to everything that is safe in clear water alone. Again our producer, Mr. DeMille. Back to our microphone come Anne Harding and James Stewart giving us among other things a chance to learn from Ms. Harding her impressions of the stage and screen in England. I'm afraid I'm hardly the right person to start English pictures, Mr. DeMille. I did make a picture in England but an American produced it an American directed it and the cameraman was an American. Well then how about the English stage, Ms. Harding? Ah well now it isn't safe to start me on that subject. Playing on the English stage was a marvelous experience. Isn't it rather strange that George Bernard Shaw's play Candida wasn't given a major production in London for 37 years? In fact, not until you went over to star in it. Well, I could hardly believe it when they told me then. It was pretty exciting to find that it was such a success. What have you been doing, Mr. Stewart? When I left Hollywood a year ago everyone was talking about that amazing young actor who lived with Henry Fonda, owned 30 cats and played the accordion. We know Henry Fonda married but what happened to the cats and the accordion? I don't know. Whatever attracted the cats in the first place I don't know, they just seemed to come around. They haven't caught up with me yet. Every night I play the accordion to sort of discourage them. Are the neighbors in sympathy? Well, I just asked them which they'd prefer an accordion or a troop of 30 yawling cats. I guess it's a case of the lesser of two evils. What do they say to that? Well, sir, I hardly ever get a civil answer. But Mr. DeMille, I meant to ask you about this. In case you need an accordion player for the buccaneer, you remember the Storsen name. Thanks, Jimmy. But after all, even the pirate can endure just so much. Goodbye, Jimmy. You're a very remarkable fellow. Thank you, Miss Harding and Mr. Stewart. This is your announcer, ladies and gentlemen, Melville Rui. Next week, stars and play will be told shortly by Mr. DeMille. James Stewart appeared through courtesy of Metro-Golden Mayor Studios, Mr. DeMille Paramount and Louis Silver's 20th Century Fox, where he was in charge of music for the new picture, This Is My Affair. Our play was based on John Raphael's adaptation of the original by Alexandre Bisson. And here is Mr. DeMille. To the other popular booth, Tarkington, we're indebted for the story which comes to us next Monday night. A story whose suspense and delightful romance have ranked it as a classic of its kind, ever since Richard Mansfield brought it to the stage many years ago. Its title, Monsieur Bocair. It's been announced that filling the title role will be one of the greatest artists of our time, Mr. Leslie Howard. And starring with him, Alissa Landy. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theatre presents Leslie Howard and Alissa Landy in Monsieur Bocair. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood, Rob Casting Systems. KNX, the Columbia Station, Los Angles.

Before we get into the video today, I just want to give a quick shout out to one of our sponsors, Nostik TV. Nostik TV is ancient wisdom reimagined. This is a Netflix for those who are spiritually curious and want a place to go where there is no censorship. I personally am doing a whole series on Nostik TV called The Esoteric Explorer, where I am providing exclusive content to Nostik. Nostik TV is a host to all sorts of different content creators, many of whom are your old favorites. If you would like to check out Nostik TV, there is a link down in the description box below. Hello everybody, welcome back to Esoteric Atlanta or Sacred Garden Yoga if you're watching this on Sacred Garden Yoga. I am joined here with my friend Cindy from Sacred Garden Yoga. How are you doing today, Cindy? I'm doing well. Glad to be here. I haven't been on a channel in a long time. We were just talking about that beforehand, so it's going to be back. You've got stuff going on in your lives. You've got your life to live, so it's totally understandable. I'm really excited. We've actually been talking about doing this video for a while now. Scheduling just kept messing up and finally we're able to sit down and talk about this really. To me, a very fascinating subject. I know to some people probably not, but I'm a nerd. I think you are too, Cindy, when it comes to this kind of stuff. I posted up on my community tab on YouTube asking for questions regarding exercise, spirituality, mullabunda, all these things that I've been talking about that Cindy talks about in her classes. We've got a few questions and we're going to make you wait until the end because we're going to answer them for you, but you're going to have to wait until the end of the video to hear the answer to these questions that we got. Before we get started, I wanted to start with, Cindy, we're living, you and I, I don't mean to be rude, but you and I have been textbook weirdos since the day we were probably born. We were into spirituality before it was cool to be into spirituality, weren't we? Totally, yes. Before it was cool. Before that was the Instagrams and all that stuff. Back when I was looking for yellow pages, looking for a yellow video, that's how long ago it was. Yeah, my boyfriend the same thing, he had to find a recommendation for India and he had to go through the yellow pages to find Tim Miller over in California and had to like haul him up. You had to go on a scavenger hunt to get what you needed in order to find what you're looking for. I think sometimes I call it pop spirituality now that we have the internet now, which is great in a lot of ways. We can do this, we can talk about this, we can advertise our businesses, we can get this information out faster and quicker, but the flip side, we have a lot of fake spirituality. We have a lot of what I call pop spirituality that really isn't founded on any foundation of lineage. The beautiful thing about lineage when it comes to understanding spirituality is that you have these years of information of trial and error where people have really done the work to understand what it is we talk about when we're talking about spirituality. One thing I think people often times get confused about, when you're talking about having a spiritual practice first and foremost, you're talking about working on your own spirit. I think people want to skip all the way to like channeling, which is fun, tarot cards are fun, but they forget that first you've got to actually know your own spirit first before you can actually venture outside of yourself. Many people wanting to like open their third eye, but yet they're totally not even aware of Molladara and Mollabunda. Without Molladara or Mollabunda, it's like the foundation of a house. Without a good foundation, the house is going to fall. That's what I kind of wanted to focus on with you today, Cindy, because it's just so important. It is so important for anybody going on the spiritual path to not avoid the hard stuff because the Mollabundas, the lower chakras, well, bundas are a lock, but like Molladara, all the way to Manipura, these lower, like the hell of the body, that's the real tricky stuff, isn't it? Well, it's in those lower three chakras where your humanity lies. Like your true humanity, like those, the primal aspects of you that make you very human. And yeah, that's where all the gnarly stuff is. It is much easier to want to just bypass your spiritual bypass all of that and go directly up to here. Let me just skip all that. Let's go to the heart, or let's go to here, or let's go to here. This one's a gnarly one too, actually, the throat chakra. But we automatically want to skip what makes us human and go straight to the element of spirit, the matter. The part of this, we talk about in yoga, in the class of often times, is the unity of your spirit and matter. Again, it's embodying spirit or spiritualizing your body. But to come down and descend into what makes you human and all the feelings and emotions. You're talking about Molladara. That's where all the abandonment issues lie. The trauma from the inner child. And I know these days, this has definitely become a lot more popular to do some of that work, some of that shadow work. But then it's interesting, you're talking about how we started back in the day, the yellow pages and stuff. And I know I sound like a total Gen Xer now. It's like we had to go through almost like a pilgrimage. You had to have this deep hunger and this deep desire to want to know yourself and to go through the process of that and finding your teacher. I mean, it was like, you did it. It was like a pilgrimage that you went through because you had such a strong hunger for it. And now that the information, you're saying it's more easily available, yes, which is a great thing. It's a beautiful thing. That means that this information is available to more people. But at the same time, it is much easier to skip through the things that even the Yogi user, the people who are on their spiritual path back in the 40s and 50s and 60s, they didn't have access to the information that they have now. But it made them have to go through the process versus now. It is much easier to skip through and pick and choose what it is that you want to learn about. Right. There's this great story that the Hathor tell in the Hathor material by Tom Kenyon because we see a lot of similarity between old Egyptian alchemy and yoga teachings. There's a lot of similarities. Different words, pretty much the same practices. And the Hathor tell this story about, they had these different schools, like beginner, intermediate, kind of more advanced, and you had to work your way up. And they tell this story about this man who, out his whole life, kept trying to go to the advanced school without going to the beginner, Aaron, and many at first, and they kept turning him away and said, you got to start at the beginning. And he spent his whole life trying to manipulate his way into the advanced school, which he never got in, instead of just going to the beginning. And so he didn't progress in that life. Maybe he learned his lesson like you got to start at the beginning. And I thought that was such a great story for the Hathor tell because I see that a lot now where people have this, maybe it is social media, this sense of almost entitlement where they start their spiritual journey, but nobody wants to be a beginner. Nobody wants to start at the beginning. To me, the beginning is the best part. In the beginning, there's so many possibilities. In the beginning, there's an inspiration. Listen, towards the end, a lot of those possibilities are gone and a lot of the inspiration is gone and it's just hard work. And we always say in the Ashtanga world, anyway, the easiest students to teach are the beginning students and the advanced students because both the beginning students and the advanced students both know that they know nothing. It's the intermediate students who are difficult to teach because they think they know everything. And so I love all these stories because, again, I see that so much now where people just want to go into their third eye and they don't want to touch anything else. And, you know, there's that great book. My mind's gone completely blank now. Eastern Body, Western Mind, that's the one. That's the one that we would use in secret training. Yeah, that's a really great book. I recommend it. I think it's actually in my Amazon affiliate link, guys. I'll put that down below. She does a really good job explaining all the chakras in a very simplistic way that's understandable and it's not overwhelming. You can read one chapter, work through it, and then read the next. But I remember in her Ajna, her third eye, her sixth chakra chapter, she talked a lot about this fine line between intuition and delusions. And I've said that. If you don't have a basis in spirituality, if you don't have a basis in Mola Bunda and Mola Dara and these lower, if you're not constantly working on that lower belly area of your body where that spiritual lixir lies, then you run the risk of going into your imagination with your not intuition. And we're still, I mean, look, I was just telling you offline, I've been covering Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow. That's a really great example. They thought that their kids were zombies and were dark spirits because they were intuiting it. No, they weren't. They were married to different people. They wanted to be with each other and so they got rid of the people in their lives that were standing in the way of that. But their imagination ran wild and now they're both paying the consequences for that. And so I wanted to really, and also when we look at the physical body, we look at, when we talk about the third eye, if we take away, we just look at Shishumna for Kundalini. So Shishumna for people who aren't aware, that's, it's like, it's like your spine, but it's not your spine. It's where your spine is. It's like this, it's called a nati, but it's like this tunnel that runs from the base of the pelvic floor of the body all the way up through the back of the head. The chakras run up Shishumna and then the bandhas which we're going to talk about are this lock, this force that moves the Kundalini energy or the Christ consciousness energy. I know some people are afraid of the word Kundalini. People say Christ consciousness energy from the base of the pelvic floor up through the spine. And a Kundalini, like awakening, typically happens in stages. Headstand is a way to help that elixir come through the spine. But as it was described to me in India and I want your thoughts on this too, Cindy, Kundalini is oftentimes represented by a coiled snake, a snake that's just kind of sleeping at the pelvic floor. Now we live in my opinion in the hottest areas of the world because it's humid. I don't know anybody in the south that doesn't have a fan in their bedroom and air conditioning going at the same time. So everybody who's in the south or who lives in a warm area of the world knows that when you're sleeping at night and it's freaking hot outside, you don't get a good night's sleep, right? So when the Kundalini, the coiled energy starts to get moved and interrupted and strengthen and heat. That top is that heat starts to come into the body, the strength of the stomach, the strength of the muscles start to come in. It starts to wake up and it starts to move and that's when it starts to move up the spine. So you can't really have access, in my opinion, to full access to Ajna without also having full access to the pelvic floor region of your body, that energetic and physical and spiritual connection to the base of your body as well, if that makes sense. What are your thoughts on that, Cindy? Yeah, I mean, the body and, yeah, the Kundalini and the Muldahara, the base of the spine and Muldahara also, to me, very much has to do with the relationship that you have with your body. And to get fully grounded in understanding that your body is actually this beautiful temple, if you know you said it, houses the Shishuna from which everything has to rise up so that you can get to this level. The acceptance of the body, the relationship that you have with the body, the way that you feel about yourself, that grounding in your ability to know that you are safe to be here, that you have the right to take a room, that you have a right to be here. That is the right of the first chakra of your Muldahara, is that you have a right to be here and that you have that sense of safety and security that you have in your tribe. Without that, nothing else really matters. It's like that has to come in first or if it doesn't, if you just go straight up to here, then there's no true essence to it. Like you said, it becomes more of a delusional space. It's not anchored in anything that's earthy or it's not anchored in anything that's truth. It's not anchored in your ability to understand yourself as a human because we are humans. And it's like you got to understand yourself as a human in the relationships that you're in, how you interact with other people, the foods that you... In other words, everything that's material. If you take out the material from the spiritual, then the spiritual doesn't have anything to really anchor itself into and it becomes meaningless in your human experience because your spiritual experience should bring more meaning, more depth to your human experience. It shouldn't take you away from your human experience. In other words, it's not a form of escapism. That's what it can become if it's not anchored into the body, anchored into how it can actually help you live a better life as a human being. If it's not helping you, you know, have a good relationship with your body or if your body's falling apart or if your relationships are falling apart or if your finances are falling apart, then this stuff hardly matters. You know what I mean? This needs to help you with this. Otherwise, there's really no purpose of it. Of course, that's why you were born. That's why you were incarnated to know yourself as both human and spirits. We're spirit already. We didn't have to be born to be spirits. Spirit is who we are. We're born to be human. We're born to be embodied. That is the very tantra. That's the philosophy of tantra, too, is to be an embodied spirit or to spiritualize the body, to bring together both spirit and matter. And that's also the foundation of hermeticism, by the way, hermeticism. It's just the western esoteric philosophy that the Easterners, the tantra philosophies, practice just with a different language. It's embodying spirit or spiritualizing the body, bringing it together so that you can live the best life for yourself and for others. It comes back to service. Once you are here and present and aligned with your own purpose and clarity, all these things matter. Your purpose matters. Why am I here? Those are some of the questions that get lost when you're too much in your head. You can't ground your purpose. Your purpose never goes anywhere. It just stays up in this delusional realm. It never actually goes anywhere to be a service and to help other people. Absolutely. It all has to come back to being in your body, being in relationship with others. How can I help and serve others? It has to all come ground again. It's a current that's going up and down. It's not just about being up here. It's like you take it up, you take it down. You take it up, you take it down. You're moving the current through the body. It's not just staying in one place. Then your body, then you actually feel more fulfilled in life. You feel more satisfied. You feel accomplished. You feel like you're actually making a contribution and you're living your legacy that you are making a difference. Those are the things that in the end actually make us feel better as a person. If you're not feeling the same person then your spirituality really doesn't matter. Yeah, I love that. I hope that answers your question. I love that anchored because in the Law of One they talk a lot about how your soul chooses the cause and the effect. The cause is the soul. The effect becomes the body. The soul chooses to create this experience or the Shiva or the Shakti. It creates this experience for refinement to have. I know in the Emerald Tablet it's one of my favorite things in the Emerald Tablet that Thoth says. In the Emerald Tablet Thoth talks about reptilians. He talks about lizard people. There's some really saucy stuff. Spicey stuff in the drama in the Emerald Tablet. But the thing that I found most fascinating probably because of my years of work was when he said, you only know life because you know death. When you're in spiritual form when you're without body there's no creation because there's no understanding of life because there's no death. And that really hit home because that is what the purpose of the body is to have that nervous system and the cause and effect the karma, the friction of being human to have the shadow work to have to go back and navigate through that because that's what creates the refinement of the soul in the end. But when you're ignoring the body or when you've created this mental gymnastics I've heard a lot of people say this well I'm a spiritual person so therefore I don't pay attention to my body well then you're not a spiritual person but when you look at India all the great yogis of India they're all very in their bodies how else do you think they're levitating? They can only levitate their body because they're in their body or I see this a lot now I know I believe fully in past lives I think most people actually do and I know we pull karma over from past lives but I find a lot that people get so obsessed with past lives and living there then they get to be here now and it's like no, no, no don't use that as a disassociation from the sensation of the now because you're not there then you're now now you have to process this in this body and I've said a lot Cindy too and I want to clarify this as well so the bun does for people who are new so most people know what the chakras are but just if you don't know it's 7 points in the body that represent different people through but a lot of people are not familiar, surprisingly or have no clue what the bundas are but in my opinion Cindy the chakras cannot exist without the bundas and the bundas cannot exist really without the chakras they make each other kind of move and so I would describe the bundas you have three ones that you're working with jalandaras in your throat just tucking your chin in urianas in your belly button so the energy is coming up the spine and the mulladara is the mac daddy to me because it's the most interesting it's basically in your crotch it's in your perineum and it's this lock it's a lock of the perineum it's a lock of the belly button so if we're talking about that kundali energy rising up what's pulling it up is actually that perineum pulling up into that strength in your crotch do you have anything you want to add to that Cindy for people understanding what these bundas are yeah they it's an upward uriana uriana actually means upward moving so it helps to pull the karma upward and the interesting thing about mulladara you're talking about the pelvic floor the pelvic floor the actual physical pelvic floor it's such an interesting area because to get mula bunda going to get it going effectively we do hold the tension there's some people that hold tremendous amount of tension in their pelvic floor usually the tension that's building the pelvic floor is unconscious tension and this is now going back to the the energetics of what your chakras represents in the mulladara which is your base chakra, your root chakra again you're right to be here your safety it feeds down into the legs the hips, into the pelvic floor but how unconscious tension gets caught up in the pelvic floor you don't even realize how much we're over pulling up but then it's in an unconscious way and then it's just like this gripping, this tension that's coming from some kind of fear or protection and to get good mula bunda it's almost like you have to release the the health tension first it's like the first process is becoming aware of your pelvic floor which is a weird thing to become aware of in the first place it's like you got to take your mind's eye to the pelvic floor and then it's starting to do the work of undoing the unconscious tension that's there, the gripping the holding, the fear patterns the shame or the guilt or whatever it feels like you got to undo that first and then redo the mula bunda to where it's conscious upliftment a conscious upliftment, a conscious connection that you're making with that area for it to have the proper effect of the rising of the Kundalini whereas which is why the yoga is more important where you're doing all of the movement first like the hip work and anything else that you do, even the core work that you're doing, you're pulling up through the belly and everything that you're doing to bring you awareness to how that's holding within your body and to notice if there is like this gnarly gripping that's going on there and getting the movement to undo that first so that the mula bunda can be truly effective in creating that upliftment of the fodder, the shakli or the tea or whatever you want to talk through the body the crotch punch as I call it it's that control it's taking your power back and I'm glad you brought that up didn't want to talk about that because I remember and for those watching I want to make this clear too because I think sometimes I know I forget to say this as long as you're alive and breathing this is something you're forever going to be working on it's constantly rediscovering and re-experimenting with this and so I remember years ago before I ever went to India I was doing a pranayama class with David Greek, my original ashtanga teacher and he in pranayama is a bitch like the proper like I mean I think I've seen the light of God in a more stressed out state seeing the light like of death in pranayama class way more in a glass but he had the jalandara bunda guys and pranayama is the extension of life is the breathing that also generates that as well the same type of sensation and that's when you're using a lot of the jalandara bunda too when you're tucking in to open up the back of the throat and he had us like bring with the exhale try to bring the exhale as low as we could into our pelvic floor I couldn't do it I couldn't even get my mind to go there and that's when I realized how much trauma was there and it's not I think it's every culture I think every culture I can't name one culture in the world that doesn't have some level of of conservativeness or or tabooness around this area of the body for both men and women and it took me a really long time to first understand it that there was something there that I was missing when I was up in Philadelphia we'll get into the physicality of it but you know at one point David was like you're not even using your legs like you're going through your whole practice just using your arms and so he would have me do my practice up against the wall pressing my feet against the wall to get my legs which we'll talk about in a minute we'll talk about what the legs have to do with it just to get my and then all of a sudden things started shifting in my practice and things got easier because all of a sudden you know just in a very practical sense my legs were actually doing stuff now but we'll talk about that soon but then in 2016 I know I've told this story before I broke my sacrum and I had a choice to make I could either throw a pity party and quit or I could reevaluate how I did things and that's when I found Cindy suggested it ballet my friend Chris up in Canada suggested bar class and it took me a while to find a teacher that I really liked but when I started to do this work that's a little bit different from yoga it's got the same purpose in my opinion I was like oh my god there it is and it took that restructuring of the same concept and then it totally shifted my practice again that breaking my sacrum was like the best thing that ever happened to me because it absolutely I was laughing at 41 I've said it at sacred garden when I can get my boyfriend to adjust me normally he won't but when I can get him to he always makes comments about how my body feels very different than it did at 31 right because there's more I have more awareness of that an injury does that too an injury basically on some levels just designed to redirect you an injury is not always there to be a pain in the ass although it is but it's just not something needs to be redirected and that's exactly what it did you had an injury again you could have used it to whatever but you redirected you just knew that something had to be redirected and once you realign yourself to where that's going that's where all the difference happens where the change happens where the shift happens everything opens up my core got stronger and again you guys when we're talking about my mom's family they're from the coast of South Carolina the foundation of Mola Bunda I always get this image in my head houses on the coast of South Carolina or Florida the Atlantic is a very South the ocean it's very powerful and they're all built you see these mansions up on stilts and the stilts are there for high tide for really rough weather so that doesn't knock the house down growing up there that's just what I'm used to as I got older and I bring friends or boyfriends would come to South they would always be weirded out by the fact that these mansions were like up on these stilts like how are these stilts holding up this house well it's because the foundation of the stilts is sturdy enough so that when the high tide comes now hurricanes sometimes the hurricanes might take the root off but those stilts are still standing strong and that's what I think of with Mola Bunda also like the root of a tree when a tree is firmly rooted in the earth the wind can come and it will move with the wind but it rarely gets uprooted it has to be a pretty gnarly thing for it to get uprooted and that's Mola Bunda and I guess we can kind of get into the physicality because this is not and I'll use because you're a dancer too Cindy you know one thing too I'll say about I love all the fancy sans grit words I think they sound witchy and cool but sometimes it's better to explain these things from a very practical perspective because they're almost every athlete out there is using Mola Bunda as well as dancers you know what I often say you know when you start to get into the physical body and steadiness you know finding that steadiness first and then the rest of your body can sway and move you know something that I often say to clients that I'm working with or you know to students it's where you want to redirect your safety because we're always there's a part of us that is in protective mode but what happens is sometimes we direct the energy of safety and protection and the way I see or the way I feel especially when working with different bodies you know through the work that I do is that sense of protection is safe to use in the wrong place for instance your heart will often be put in this the sense of safety like in a heart area but the heart isn't really where safety belongs your heart is a place it's very opposite to that actually the heart is vulnerable the heart is open it's reciprocity it's where giving the line of giving and receiving coming out through the heart and this is not where safety goes this is not where protection goes it can be here if it does it closes off the heart but instead where can you redirect the safety to where it's actually going to provide your body what it needs to be more open and free but yes steady you redirect the safety down into your legs your legs your butt think about the muscles that you have you have a tremendous amount of muscles in the legs because it bones around think about the size of the muscles the size of your muscles the size of your muscles the size of your glutes your hamstring your calves they can take the anchor they can take the safety so if you want to feel safe take it out of here take it out of here let this be open free and more fluid and put the safety down where it belongs get it moved down into the legs now that's going to require you probably when you're doing the work to move through we're talking about some of the trauma that catch you from anchoring in the first place so part of that work is also recognizing there's another unconscious belief that a lot of us have when we don't realize is that we don't feel like it's a safe place to inhabit and so we directly go out of body because you know maybe we in our younger lives we have some traumatic experiences and what we did to to help get us through to cope is to disassociate is to come out of the body and then somewhere within the language of our mind we decided that our body was not a safe place to inhabit so it's like first body that this is what you've been given and you can't it was given to you from your first breath and you're going to take it with you until the last breath you really can't escape your body no matter what you do you can try to but coming to peace with the fact that your body is here for you, your body is not against you it's here for you in making it a safe place again and then bringing that safety back down like anchoring safety and bringing it down into the legs and down into your butt and down into your hips and anchoring it and giving that firmness and that structure I mean those stilts that you were talking about down to where it's supposed to go to where it needs to go because the lower part of our body can handle that it can take that it can take a hit you know and then the rest of you can be more free but yes it all begins with the relationship that you do have with the body that it feel like a safe place for you to inhabit can you move that safety down into where it's where it belongs within your body and then it helps to clear up everything else I've done videos on body Morphic Disorder which I've struggled with I love your saying this too because maybe for me it's also getting older as well but I've been that sick kid I was sick a lot growing up I've hated my body I've been into my body I've but when and that that existed through a lot of my ashtanga practice too oddly enough there is a lot of ashtanga people who have disordered eating you know you see that a lot but again what came back to that I was 33 years old 2016 broke my sacrum when I started to really incorporate the bar which was actually incorporated more mollibunda work what started off just to strengthen my sacrum back now at 41 years old I can love my body I feel sexy I love what it's been through I love all my scars on my body because I earn those suckers you know I look at my legs and I say this in class sometimes like the femur bone specifically the femur bone is like the strongest bone in your body and it takes a lot like if you break your femur bone I want to hear the story because you probably like skied into a tree or something or hit by a Mack truck because it takes a lot to break the femur bone the thigh bone the quadriceps you know and the inner thigh which a lot of the work that we do with mollibunda involves the inner thigh which we'll get to sometimes the quadriceps because they're so big they'll take over from the inner thigh but that inner thigh that's where all that magic but these beautiful quadriceps they're so willing to help you know and so that shifted in me it wasn't it wasn't something that wasn't a goal I had actually when I started doing this other work it was just to strengthen my sacrum again so I could get back on my mat right that was all it was but it turned out that everything in my life shifted and so and it's not you know as I was saying this mollibunda work that we do can be done in so many different forms of exercise because in my opinion even though I practice ashtanga or yoga which is one of the most dogmatic yoga practices I really think that this work can be found in any form of movement and I don't know if you have any thoughts on that Cindy but like we see it in dance we see it in long distance runners we see it in football players we see it in all sorts of different movements so there can be spirituality like this and everything involving the movement of the body correct would you say well it's in your anatomy it's built into your anatomy so it's built into the physical body the possibilities to access that kind of power it's built into anybody's anatomy system and it depends on what kind of language you use you know it depends on so people who are very much into sports they're saying a lot of the same things but they're just using more anatomical language or you know dancers in the same way I mean they have to use their inner thighs they have to use mollibunda but they're not calling it that because there's no way you can do those even basketball players the ones that do those tremendous leaps yep you know the dancers that leave that that comes from that upward that learning how to access that upward movement to give you likeness and the muscles and all the deep internal work to give you that lift they might not you know call it mollibunda or call it you know you know anything spiritual but what's happening regardless of the language is they're connected to their purpose yes you know they're connected to to their passion they're connected to flow to their body and they might not yeah to flow and they might not call it a spiritual thing in just different languaging but in the end again just going back to what we were saying at the beginning it's all about tapping into that legacy and serving and feeling like you're on purpose you know a basketball player a football player or a ballerina you know again they'll just use different languages like if you hear like true the ballerinas and the ones that are in in their their their power with it you know they use their own power words they'll tell you there's nothing else that I would rather be doing you know this is my passion I feel like you know I could do this for for hours and days and they're aligned with their purpose and in the end that's what spirituality is about it's not just about whatever all this you know it's about living your legacy like living your purpose and aligning yourself with that and the people who have connection with that type of power within their body they're doing that automatically like Olympic Olympic swimmers Olympic medalists they are automatically connected to their legacy to their purpose to to their passion to their connection with life and why I'm here they're connected to that they're being alive my friend Janie Saleh who is an Olympic figure skater I've often thought when we look at and I love that taking off even in all sports in order to physically jump up and do the layup or whatever they have to go down first it's a literal going down it's not just coming up and I think about my friend Janie Saleh who did couples, the gold medalists to be able to be thrown up into the air by her partner with these heavy skates on twirl and land strong we see when the ballerina leaps across the stage and makes it look easy and if you have a still shot of the ballerina in that moment every single muscle in her his or her body are engaged you can see the muscles engage because they're alive and they're moving in that and then when they land they land softly because that's that control it's not a thump and we say that a lot in Ashdanga like with the jump backs and the jump throughs it's a thump with a jump back then you've lost mullibunda because there needs to be that control and you're right because when I started doing these bar classes they don't call it mullibunda that's not what they're calling it but I knew that's what it was because I had been studying this and I was like oh wow wow this is what they're doing it they're not calling it, they're calling it pelvic tucks they're calling it this is mullibunda, that's what this is so again it's like accessing to your place of personal power where in the end what it provides you on all the levels it's beyond just physical you know it's like you are connected at that moment to something bigger whatever you want to call it because it is all about going back to the anatomy it's about that physical alignment and being able to channel and take in and receive not only receive but then to um what's the word I'm looking for it's like you receive the information but then you recode it distribute it to make it do what you want it to do you're manipulating in a positive way like you're in control, you are the alchemist you are the sorcerer, you're able to take that energy and you have to like get yourself an alignment to it first pulling it through the body, through the mullabunga through whatever to receive it and then once you receive it you decode it or whatever to get it to do what you want it to do whether it's again a ballet dancer or if you're just cooking or if you're a musician or whatever it is but the whole purpose of it is to get you in that alignment of being receptive and receiving and then learning what to do with it and some people just do that naturally some of them might have it naturally some of them put a lot of practice into it like any musician or Olympic medalist they put a lot of practice into it and just like we put practice into it they might not call it a spiritual practice but in our language it totally is a spiritual practice learning how to be in flow with life that is spiritual practice all together learning how to be in flow with life and then using that life to manifest to live and so there's some people that do that without the spiritual talk well that kind of brings us full circle back to the beginning too because that dancer that's leaping across the stage or that basketball player that's like piano players like your son they're using their feet to control the pedals the whole body you watch their body is controlled and it's moving with the flow of the music a drummer is a good example you watch a drummer's body they're constantly pulling up that's why most of them are very got a six pack right because they're constantly like pulling up and that's that moment like we talked about in the beginning like a lot of times in this pop spirituality people want to leave the experience of the body they want to get out of the experience of the body but in these moments of being that drummer or being that swimmer or being that piano player that dancer you're in that moment of being alive right everything else has it has to go through the body your body is actually the the instrument yes the conduit exactly it's the conduit from which the artistry can come through and people understand it like the ones who are living life that way they understand that even if they don't talk about it is that they have a visceral understanding that this has to come through my body like this artistry needs to come through and so therefore they naturally understand their body as the conduit for life and that in essence is the root you know a lot of not just the root but then you're going into the second chakra too especially I was going to say creativity absolute creativity and the power which brings we'll get to that too I'm glad you brought that up but even like yeah you're right because like your son when he plays the piano he doesn't just sit down and just point out notes no he he fix like we come to psalmisty he has to set his body up set his feet up his whole body if you watch a pianist their arm muscles move they're sitting up they're not slouching they're sitting up my grandmother though used to tell a story when she would play the piano she'd get quarters put on her her knuckles her aunt taught her her mean aunt that she used to say and if the quarters fall off she'd get whacked with the ruler but the body is totally you watch I mean one of my favorite bands to watch old bands to watch is AC DC because that guitarist like he just he is one with his guitar and it is a physical they're channeling yes they're like channeling you know something bigger than themselves maybe that's why it's easier for them because they take away the expectation of spirituality they're just doing it exactly it's good enough to rock and roll they just do it the dancer just dances right I think sometimes maybe we that's funny I say maybe we overthink it as yoga because the second sutra is yoga which Patanjali is literally like you're over thinking so maybe maybe that's why they have such a higher rate of success because they don't overthink it they just do it and they're just being they're being if they understand here I mean their practice is understanding their instruments whether it's the body whatever instrument and they have a very specific usually a very specific goal in mind and you know when you have a very specific goal in mind that's the the yoga part of focusing the mind because in your mind it is distracted by all these other things it's very focused and that's what the the whole third third chapter of the yoga sutras is about I mean they talk about you focus everything and you can pretty much become an expert at anything yeah you have the capacity to hone it in on any superpower that you want if you focus your mind and that's what the these artists these people that you know you're just in awe of that's what they can do it's they have their natural they have the capacity all natural because they train them so they have a goal it's like they very much focus their attention on this is who I want to be and this is what I want to do and they take every single bit of that attention of that life and focus it through for it to come out yeah you know so I love that it's not just it's not just like spiritual talking yeah I think maybe that we can overthink it maybe overly spiritualize it when it's really just living life to your fullest that's what it comes down to maybe Nike has it all summed up just do it like just do it you know and you guys have not read the yoga sutras the third are wild they're fun the first two he's like you suffer because XYZ now do this do that now let's talk about the city let's talk about the fun but it is the first two potas to learn how to to incorporate that in order to get to that place of total and that's what Guruji used to say you know we say oh yogas yoking and joining all these things but Guruji used to say it's just focus all yoga is his focus its focus attention and one thing about now you guys if you're I'm sure some of you are aware we I just now started I I literally learn so much from my experience what I thought was just going to be something I was going to do for a short amount of time to get my practice back has turned out to be a practice that's so freaking important to me because it's changed my life just as much as I stronger has changed my life and I started to incorporate this stuff into like we would have a moon day t-tashanga on moon days and so if by chance I was scheduled and it was a moon day we would do some of these practices in the class with Cindy and everybody else because I thought this is just so good I can't I need to share this and so we've now just started doing a Wednesday morning class at 6 30 a.m. a yoga fusion class where we're doing a lot of this stuff that I learned in the bar sequencing and I want to talk about to a little bit about the anatomy and the reason why we focus so much on the legs is because the legs are really are the root of mullabunda and one thing everybody watching right now your big toe if you follow the inner thigh pressing into the big toe that's carrying that energy up the inner thigh into the crotch and I already knew that because as in our stronger teacher I can't Cindy would fire me I can't go in my class and crotch check people to see if mullabundas engage I don't want to do but that would just be weird they do it in India and it's not weird in India but in America it would be weird so how I can see a student a student's progress with understanding the shape the alchemy of the shape and the bunda the potency is I look at their their feet if their toes coming off the mat I can see there's there's something is disengaged and I can sometimes I'll go and I'll step on the person's foot not like heart but I'll push my foot just to get their toe to press down so that they can activate into the inner thigh well something that the bar does the bar classes do that we do in the yoga fusion class that we don't get to do in yoga that that often I've never done in yoga is we come to the balls of our feet we come to the balls of our feet and we bend our knees and we put a prop in between our thighs like a ball or a block and that forces that that forces that that focused attention on the stability of the body because the body's trying to always find that stability right to really get that energetic connection up through a course when you're holding that block as well and so that's why these practices with the legs even though they're only the root of Mollabunda that's the root is where it all begins it's where you have access to really understanding that pulling up of that pelvic floor if that does that make sense yeah and I've been refined they might enter thighs I didn't realize how you know you think you're connected to your your legs or your bodies but then you go to you find something new or nuance and you realize I wasn't connected at all but um reception yeah um yeah the yeah it's great that access to the inner thighs that you could we've been working on some inner thighs in this past week and our yoga class as well I've been you know summoning the I think you have to the the great sage of the 1980 Suzanne Summers who was ahead of her time and she understands she understood the purpose of the inner thighs she knew it she was into something go find your thigh master guys go find that thigh master that is going to help you find Mollabunda real fast real fast exactly but the positioning your pelvis makes a difference in the how well you can access your inner thighs because if you have too much of a like a tilt I can enter your tilt in your pelvis it won't allow you to find the access and push through the inner thigh so that the or if you have too much of that posterior where your hips are forwardly thread thrusting but without any connection to your lower abdominals that can also make you lose access to your inner thigh so the positioning of your pelvis and how you're using your belly to position your pelvis can also help to give you that that Mollabunda access that rooting down but then that also pulling up that gives you the access and the focus to to your power all these little details this is you know where we can totally nerd out all these little nuances all these little details make a difference and it just goes to show you how how much is stored within the body how much unstored or not necessarily maybe unfulfilled potential is within the body but how much potential we have access to if you do the work to actually find it and to connect it it's all you've got to find it I mean it's literally you've been exactly it's all there you just got to find the right movement the right alignment to that that's the good news you came here with all the tools we just got at you and again lifelong practice that's I actually work a lot and I tell the students every Wednesday I say this a lot especially we have new students like the practice we do on Wednesday morning can stand as its own practice but my intention is to give them full on an hour's worth of practice into this area of their body so that they can then incorporate that into their yoga into whatever else they're doing in their life and we do a lot of those tucks because you're right it's that pelvis it's being able to do it's not just you know that's one thing I say a lot too Cindy like yoga is not about flexibility yoga is about mobility which is that control it's an openness with control it's being able to open the hip but also control the openness of the hip being able to manipulate in a positive way it gives you access the important of the mobility work is it gives you access to more of your potential because if you're locked up you just won't have access to it until you unlock yourself so it's like everything gives you access to deeper parts of you and that's you know the reason and then when you do have access to more of your own potency and your own power your own mobility your own movement your own strength that it fuels you not just physically but spiritually as well because you you feel like you're in control like you like you have some momentum where you're like you're in control of your life instead of everything being just like seized and locked up and hidden and protected well that goes into the second chakra as well we're going to say creativity because like in Ashtanga we don't listen to music that's actually against the rules right because they they view in this lineage they view that music can distract you from what you're doing and it would just be kind of weird because it's on a certain beat but in the class I teach on Wednesday I rely on the music because when you're in these positions and you're having to bounce up and down in a controlled way I tell the students that I'm like find the beat your body knows the beat find the beat find that natural primal instinct that comes to that second chakra creative where you can move with the with the expression of what you're hearing as well it's incorporating the full simulation of you being alive in that moment and I often tell them to cause strength work I mean that's what it is guys it's you know Wednesday morning we do a little bit of the stretching or the yoga but I always say listen you're doing your stretching all week in all the classes in yoga let's focus really hard on the strength in this class you know to really help you find that that crotch punch so that when you go to do your hand stands in yoga or your drop backs you have more access to what it is you're actually looking for anyway and yeah it's it's I tell them though because I always say you know make this the hardest thing you got to do today because in the rest of the day you're going to be great right like find the raw strength and I tell them to that emotion like sometimes we dig deep into mulla bunda and we get and we're shaking our muscles are shaking and we're dropping lower and we're squeezing the block and we're shaking we feel that rage come up let the students let it come up drop a few f-bombs if you have to find it find that area that anger did someone piss you off this week did something piss you off as a child is that memory come up be there with it but it's okay to have that rage it's okay to find that human experience you're not you're not going to you're not going to all you're doing is you're in a class you're not going to hurt anybody with it but this is a healthy way of exercising that's why exercise is the root word of exorcism of exercising that which does not serve you anymore and strengthen that which does serve you and the more you can ground into that the more then you can have access to the that's why the third and fourth part are the third and fourth part and not the first and second part right you got you have to you gotta start with the whole training you gotta start yet to understand the basics yes right he didn't start with the cities and actually like in India you know you get your yoga sutra book and you got they're not hiding anything it's there because they all come together the third and fourth chapter there but they always say oh wait ten years wait ten years and then we'll look at like do ten years of first and second work first consistently then we'll talk about the third and fourth you can read it but I'm not going to teach it to you until you actually completed about ten years that kind of and of course as the solar plexus in the stomach it's stronger because it's going to just naturally that's going to strengthen your the monipora your third chakra which is like your willpower and that brings that you know you stand that's kind of like you stand up taller you don't shrink down when you've got that secure you know so the physical and the spiritual are literally one and the same when you're in this existence they one cannot exist without the other and so I wanted to kind of go through some of these questions and now before we get I've already let we've already talked about some of these questions before hands guys but you guys know I talk a lot about how exercise and spirituality come hand in hand and the first question was a great question now I want to make this clear before we get into it when I when I talk about exercise and spirituality going hand in hand I'm not saying you have to be an Olympic athlete I'm not saying you have to train so hard that you're going to have a 12 pack right take a walk start which is taking a 30 minute walk you know get your body get your energy moving because we have this concept and I think this gets confused a lot in the western world it's called Hatha and a lot of people in America say Hatha it's not Hatha guys because in TH it doesn't make the sound in Sanskrit it's Hatha which is like sun moon so what is the sun it's Prana what is the sun it's an up on it so Hatha is like juggling energy it's basically it comes from this book I'm going to say this real quick too about Hatha it's interesting that you say sun and moon because like in astrology words the sun is spirit and the moon is matter oh wow that's also what I feel what we're doing is we're talking about spiritualizing the body you know it's the divine pago you're spiritualizing the matter you're spiritualizing the body you're bringing the sun and the moon the spirit and matter into one form here and that's what we're in the end trying to become anyways I love that I love that it's the divine tango well so many people in the west get this Hatha or Hatha as they say think confused they'll say I teach Hatha yoga that's persons vinyasa and I'm like no no no any type of movement any type of movement is Hatha swim as Hatha because it's just you and if you really wanted a fun read the Hatha yoga predikapa now it's only going to be interesting and fun to people who are nerds like Cindy and me but it's actually there's some comical stuff in there like for example they tell you and they still do this in India that you should only wash your shallow with kowdong that's fun and they talk about how your shallow door to your shallow your yoga school should be really low so that you have to duck to come in and I'd always had that but I kind of skimmed over it and I remember Lakshmi my sanskrit teacher asking like do you guys know why that is and no one said anything and it was like so you have to bow before God like duh like duh yeah duh before you even enter before you enter and none of the the doors in India now are average size but I thought that was interesting but the predikapa it's all about these yoga asanas or these yoga poses and like what they're doing they also talk about how because at this point when it was written it was only males who practice so you're not supposed to fraternize with women that was that's in the predikapa and also it tells you that vegetables are bad for you so there's some maybe not correct 2000 year old book guys you should eat rice like you eat carbs like you know so anyway but that's where that comes from so when we get to this idea of exercise being a part of spirituality that's besides the bundas which go into hatha that's what I'm referring to it's you understanding your life force you being able to move in your body it's a hatha and so I also that kind of leads us to the first question but I do want to also say just on a very practical level again I don't expect any of my students to be athletes I don't expect them to what their body is able to do what they look like in their body is not what impresses me what impresses me is their behavior in their character just going to put that I've seen it all Cindy seen it all I've seen if you seen one leg go behind someone's head you've seen all right like if you seen one back then you seen them all be a good person that's what impresses me and your hard work is what impresses me too right so with that being said don't put added pressure on yourself when I say that just taking a 30 minute walk to begin with this really really awesome and great and that you sweating and get that energy that sweat is that literal expression of that hot that movement of energy second of all don't ever compare somebody's chapter 10 to your chapter one so people like Cindy and myself have been doing this for years so of course you're going to see teachers who are going to look really fit in their clothes or having you know they've been doing this for very very very long time and you want your teacher to be a few steps ahead of you right that's how they're able to kind of guide you and also you know just to make it clear Cindy myself other people that classes you go to this is what we do for a living too so it's not just our hobby but it's also what we do for a living so there's going to be a different you're going to you know if you're a lawyer a doctor you know that's what you you know so it's going to be a different you're going to see different expectations from different bodies I also too like for Cindy and me we're adjusting students so I want to bring that practicality into it too like when I used to teach my sore I would have to drop back men who are twice my size so that level of fitness was also important to keep my body safe so that I didn't drop my student or hurt myself in the process of working with students so don't ever compare yourself to the person who is teaching you what your backstory is the only person you need to compare yourself is to you and what you're learning about yourself and the journey that you're on I hope does that make sense Cindy because I get that a lot where people all of a sudden think they have to be like these marathon runner athletes it's like no no no no no that's not what I said does that make sense like just if you have to give yourself permission to be a beginner and give yourself permission to do crappy yoga yeah but then pretty yoga is boring like we gotta find it's just too pretty then I gotta do more work to make it make it harder for you to get sloppy again because that's where it's interesting where it's sloppy is where it's interesting well it's honest too it's vulnerable this is where I am it's honest and this is what it looks like and that's what your teachers are there for they're helping to try to get you through those beginner parts and starting to direct you where you want to go give you some direction say yes this is where you are it's beautiful it's great and be where you are but then you know trying to give them the direction of where they want to go yeah and we also see your blind spots too we can see I can see when somebody's ego or their imagination is taking over because it's happened to me I can only recognize it you only recognize what's in your so I know for me when I'm doing my practice and I get to a part of my practice I don't particularly like all of a sudden I need to go change the laundry that's interesting isn't it all of a sudden at 4 o'clock in the morning I gotta go change the laundry no my mind's creating escape routes my mind's creating that negotiation and so because I've dealt with that and I still deal with that Cindy too as a teacher we're able to track you know be the compass for being able to take the journey yeah and especially well it happens it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an advanced student but when the ego gets in the way and then the ego gets embarrassed like the ego might be embarrassed about oh you know I feel stupid here I can hardly do this you know I'm panting and I'm losing my breath and I'm all flustered and everyone else is doing just fine so our ego will come in and create the story about how you're not like enough or you're not you know this is too much for me or I shouldn't be here but that's just the ego trying to come in and protect you from certain things but part of the practice especially as a beginner is to get through that like get past you gotta get past that and get past your humiliation or whatever it is that you're feeling and just give yourself permission to be a very sloppy beginner I will tell you guys and I'm sure Cindy you can vouch for this as somebody who teaches and watches students all the time everybody's in there struggling so even if you your classmates aren't struggling they're struggling even the advanced students the ones that are hyper focused those are usually the more advanced students who have been practicing for long because they know how to focus the mind but you can see it in their eyes you can see it so don't ever feel like you're not and I tell this to students too all the time everybody is so focused on their own basically they're not even paying attention to anybody else in the room I promise you they're not so don't ever feel that way and I believe and my personal belief is you're always where you're supposed to be so if you find yourself in a class and you're struggling and your association is happening that mind chatter that monkey mind is happening and you're beating yourself up just remind yourself as my friend Tamara says just be like cancel, cancel thank you but cancel, cancel and remind yourself that you're there for a reason and nobody was born as far as the athletic we were all born being alive and having a body but as far as being doing it everybody, every teacher we all started at one point in our lives so just get that silly talk out of your head get it out of your head so this brings us to a really, really good question we got from one of our viewers let's go back here she said yes I asked if any I said hey y'all do you have any questions about Moldar and Moldanda now and so we got this question yes I have a burning one I hear you frequently say exercise is the foundation of spirituality this leaves me wondering about people with disabilities or physical limitation that restrict their ability to exercise how does this not exclude them from being spiritual following a spiritual path they can be some of the most enlightened people out there I'm just trying to understand how both things can be true thank you for your excellent work and dedication to all of us watching and I said this question is super easy to answer we will discuss this in the video so I want to kind of go back to this what you said here with disabilities and physical limitations so everybody everywhere has physical limitations I have a really bad back I've had back surgery, I have arthritis we all have these limitations and as I say a lot we don't work against these we work with them and it depends on what the disability is somebody asked you my son is moderate several palsy and I'm determined to help him figure out a way to move we and Carol, we and I answer this we have a student at AYA who has several palsy so let me just bring up this first then we'll get back to this question up here I'll talk about the several palsy first I won't say his name but we have this awesome student we've had him at AYA for years now he comes every single day and he has several palsy he came to AYA because he had trouble with other yoga teachers because they didn't know how to help him and because Ashtanga mostly is my source style he was recommended to try Ashtanga because he would be able to go at his own pace and the teacher would be able to my boyfriend would be able to work with him one on one well I have said since the beginning of this student coming to Arshala we have a lot of students at AYA who are practicing series A, third series but in my opinion the student in Arshala who has several palsy who will never finish primary series in my opinion is the most advanced student at AYA he comes into that Shala every day he's already got limitations he's already got friction and he comes in there with such a good attitude and we've had to change the practice up a little bit he has to work with props when he comes to do his son salutations he has to his one hand which is not working he takes his other hand and pulls it up and then Ford folds with it so he works with his several palsy he doesn't work against it and my boyfriend works with him so for your son I would say find a really good teacher or a trainer or someone who can work I follow there's a gem I follow on Instagram I think it's over in the UK where they specifically cater to people with disabilities specifically so you can find resources to now again with any disability or physical issue going on once again we're not asking you to be Olympic athletes at all we're asking you just to move just start moving whatever that means for you now let's say and I'll let you give your perspective to Cindy let's say that you have your quadriplegic let's see somethings happen and you are like paralyzed well what we've talked about is the focus to mine right so I have seen it happen before and I have advised this before say you can't move your body doesn't mean you can't move your mind doesn't mean you can't lay there and go through a physical yoga breath yourself through in your mind's eye a yoga practice or watch a ballet class and try to bring yourself into breathing through the movements that you're seeing on screen and actually in your mind's eye see yourself feel yourself doing those movements even if your physical body isn't moving so there's always ways to work around it there's always ways and trust me as teachers I think Cindy you can we want to know I want to know if you have an injury I want to know if you have a bad knee I want to know if you've got something going on I need to know that so that I can help you help yourself and work with it not against it do you have anything you want to add to that Cindy yes well I do work with like I have a client right now who lost the whole function of her left side of the brain she's young she had a stroke and I I see her she I knew her before that happened but what we do is we we just sit and you know one of the things that we kind of talk about or maybe I talk about because she can't talk right now is you're you still woke up today you know you woke up you're breathing and I know it's hard to figure out what the heck why you know we can we can get really caught up on the fact that we have this thing but for some reason you still woke up today you're still breathing and there's still a purpose for you I mean there's still a purpose here for you to be here and to be alive and you know to focus on first of all to focus on that purpose so you know the people who have in sure that's easy for me to say being fully functioned I don't know what that's like but but still you know it's the things that you know when I'm having a hard day is you know to redirect and focus your attention on the fact that I'm breathing I'm here alive I have still a specific purpose whether it is to just you know heal myself better whether it is to wake up every day and try to get function and mobility back into my body and what it's like to do that and what it's like to go through that process you know so I think for you know first that first part of it is kind of like you said it's just like that mental where is where is your mind and what is it focusing on and you know and some of the things that I've and she's the only one that I've worked with with disabilities but it's just coming back to like what can you do so you have disabilities you have physical limitations but instead of focusing on what you can't do yeah what can you do yeah and let's work on you know what it is that you can do and what is your goal what is your your purpose here for for being with me you know today like what is it that you want to you want to get your mobility back what is it and then how can I help you you know with that but I think a lot of it is just focusing on what you can do even if all you can do is you know this with one arm yeah absolutely yeah you know or or maybe this is all you can do right now is turn your head from side to side and just to come in as hard I could say that I don't I don't I don't know that challenge from a personal experience so I can't you know I can't begin to comprehend what that's like but you know just that idea of I'm still breathing I'm alive today I have the means I have purpose and I have value and how can I align myself with that and what I can do yeah and I'll say too I've told this story before but I think it bears repeating you know again in the ashtonga practice you see a lot of it's one of the most elaborate you know you see crazy posture Cirque du Soleil it's very intense and you walk into my sore room a lot especially if you're new it can be quite intimidating because you do see people standing up with their leg behind their head doing forward and back hand springs and I remember the one of the greatest lessons I learned from David and I repeat this a lot in the yoga class there are two lessons that at Sacred Garden I talk about this a lot there's two great lessons I learned from David but as I've watched David who's one of the foremost most of the senior ashtonga teachers in the United States he you know he would have these young girls in Philadelphia that were like in their early 20s who had been cheerleaders or gymnasts who had a lot of already had a lot of physical ability and so they would kind of go through some of these Asanas pretty quickly and get to more more of the advanced Asanas and it never seemed and this is my perspective like David never seemed to be too totally interested like he didn't really interest him that much but however when a 60 70 year old man would walk in who was overweight and could hardly touch his toes David would get so excited because now and I want you guys to remember this with your friends or your children or yourself if you have a disability or a physical limitation or several palsy you have something to work with you have something to actually work with that's what David would say these guys would come in these old men who could hardly touch their toes and be like great we have something to work with now we have resistance because that's what you're looking for right and you're looking for resistance like that's going to create that that sweat and so if you know and I've say this in our classes a lot David would also say if your karma, if you struggle in primary series you are one of the lucky ones because your karma came up early and trust me I've been in India where I've seen these people who've had to get all the way up to like fourth series, advanced series B which I've said many times looks like a fucking exorcism if you watch it it's disgusting but I've watched these people have such ease through first, second, third series and they get to fourth series and all of a sudden they hit struggle and their world explodes whereas people who found the struggle in the beginning are usually understand yoga from a deeper perspective are a humbler really have a deep understanding of wisdom so don't ever see disabilities or sicknesses or physical limitations I like how Cindy said what can you do, not what can't you do wake up and be like yes I have something to work with I actually have I'm one of the lucky ones in that sense like I'm not saying obviously I don't have I have a bad back and arthritis so I know what some pain is like in the practice but change your perspective change your perspective on what this is you have something to work with which is exciting if you don't have anything to work with then you have nowhere to go but if you have something to work with then you have so many possibilities in front of you I hope that makes sense I would really encourage you guys even if you're just a regular Joe like Cindy and me if you are a little overweight or have a we have a lot of people with that issue okay little chubby okay we got something to work with we got that belly to work with and that's awesome that's such a great place to be so don't see physical limitations as actual limitations see them as something to work with I used to practice with a man who had a fake leg he had his leg amputated when he was in his 20s so by the time I was practicing with him when he was in his 50s he had spent most of his life with it so it was no big deal to him I remember the first time David worked with him David like walked in and was like he just got so excited because he'd never worked with someone before he was an amputee and just the excitement to be able to even though my friend worked really well with his amputated leg but the fact that it was a metal leg on one side was exciting to David to be able to see the we have different possibilities now right we have different possibilities because you don't have a physical leg for me to work with energetically you still do energetically what's this going to be like so okay we have someone with several we have different possibilities now and that's exciting there's still growth there and so again you're not Olympiad you're not going to be all just shitting for the Rockettes it's not what we're doing we're just trying to help you wake up that hatha that upwards and wake up that pelvic floor wake up that life force inside of you through any type of exercise does not have to be a marathon so anyway okay we got this one too this is great Alicia who comes to our classes on zoom which we'll talk about at the end I have huge issues with my dad girl same he's passed on now but those struggles are still there I also have major back issues so finding connection is something I'd love to learn more about Cindy I'm going to let you take this one away well you're your body you always say that your body is an acoustic record in itself and it holds the memories of everything that you've experienced in this lifetime and all the lifetimes it holds the genetic material of your ancestry and your family is all coated there within your body your body responds to every thought that you're having every thought that you're having every cell in your body responds to that thought so the information is in the body and if you're trying to figure out okay so I've had some daddy issues I've had daddy issues too and what your body basically tells you especially if you're having issues it might be saying well maybe there's still some emotional some residual emotional stuff that's going on and if you're you know if you're and it could be that there is a connection there it could be that that the back issues could be a totally different thing so it kind of depends on what you're wanting to work on you can go through the body and then you can start to work with the back issues for instance that's what you receive inform your psychology because you can go so your mind informs your body but your body also informs your mind so maybe just like deciding okay I'm just gonna work on my back issues right now I'm gonna like work on them I'm gonna listen just intuitively listen to what my body has to say and eventually if there is some kind of a connection there it will come through just by simply doing the work and asking the question and not putting your own interpretation into it but letting letting your body inform you and you never know what you're gonna get it could be a daddy it could be something totally different you know what I mean and your dad kind of thing that could be itself I mean I'm not saying that it could be a back issue but it's it's tapping into that deeper intelligent asking the right questions and like if you're going through the body like working through what helps what works what feels right listening to it and often time just by doing that the connection will reveal itself to you that makes sense yeah I love that ask it what it what is when your back hurts just say like what are you trying to tell me like what are you trying to communicate with me I love that and that's because it's your because again it's a redirection right usually if we have an injury or we have something that's out of alignment is telling you you need to redirect something you need to redirect either your thought you need to redirect you maybe you need to redirect how you're holding yourself yeah and if you think of your back issue as a redirection and you're just saying okay how how do I need to redirect myself here how do I need to redirect myself here then a lot of that answers will begin to come up not just physically physically it will but then you'll get clarity and other things as well too I you know that's literal redirection I have a bad back to Alicia and I I punched a teacher coming out of a back then like I really struggled with doing these back back whole my whole I'm good better at them now but what really shipped for me it was that redirect and I say this in the class all the time I had a teacher say it's not back bending it's stomach opening and when I redirected the energy to the front of my body the back of my body lost a lot of tension and was able to actually bend and I was actually able to strengthen the front of my body which is probably with the back of my body needed because the core isn't just your stomach it's also your back and so that is a literal redirect I think a lot of us have daddy so you know I think you're in good company and I want to bring on something too that happens a lot sometimes when you start the path of spiritual healing especially through yoga or an exercise program a lot of times what's going to happen is like three months in maybe it's different for different people sometimes six weeks in and old injury will flare up and a lot of people make the mistake like quitting at that time or thinking they need to rest don't that's the worst thing you can do tell your teacher if it's flaring up take modifications but keep moving keep moving the energy because if you stop and you rest for a minute to let it just it's not it's going to get stagnant again right it's like that flowing water so like if you have a knee issue for example and all of a sudden your knee issue flares up if I have a student they need to let me know so I'll tell them the modifications to do so that they're not they're working again with the energy not against or with the injury not against it but we're keeping the energy moving we're keeping it going a rolling stone gathers no moss right we're keeping it flowing and then eventually hopefully it will end up they say that Guruji used to get really excited because like when you one knee would get bad he gets so excited he'd be like okay this knee the next knee and then going like this is going to get bad but it's going to get better but then your other knee is going to get bad but then it's going to go it's all going to go you're going to work through it you know another thing is the yoga fever it's very very common when you started deep spiritual practice especially involving exercise after a few months in maybe at night to have like a low grade fever and then it will be gone the next day and that's what we call the yoga fever and Guruji used to get really excited about this too because it meant that old karma in order to create new patterns old patterns need to be be removed and that would be like burning a compost pile right now of course if your fever gets really high you need to address it with a doctor where however you feel like you need to address it but like low grade fevers are common in the beginning and then they'll pass they'll pass every time I start incorporating new postures into my practice I get still I'll still to this day we'll get a little low grade fever sometimes it's just it's just it just means that your body your body's reforming itself it's creating new patterns now this one I already answered because I just said looking at the DOSHA system I have an immune disorder that I know is my body goes through frequent cycles of extreme exhaustion and digestive issues my whole body will feel weak and I won't be able to do anything but sleep it's not caused by depression and it's not psychosomatic actually I will say everything is actually psychosomatic that's kind of the spiritual perspective is like literally everything is psychosomatic I thought I had Crohn's for a while but my doctor was thinking has hematosis I don't know what else to do or anymore I'm low-income I said for digestion issues literally everything is to an extent psychosomatic because the mind creates the thought came first right the body yoga to devotee Narodaha everything is reacting to thought but I've done many many videos on the DOSHAs and for my digestive issues it literally was fixed with eating for my DOSHA do you have anything you want to add to that Cindy? there is yeah I mean I also am into the thought of that especially when you're dealing with something that's chronic even though you you might not think it's psychosomatic but when I have the issues like for instance I'll give you an example I'm pretty sure that I have this familial something so my body produces less rel I mean to the point that it could cause problems down the line with heart issues and strokes and stuff like that and it's a genetic thing and yes I could go about it and say it's just a genetic thing and yes it's a genetic thing and it's something that I have to be mindful about I have to watch certain things that I don't want to put an additional cholesterol to my body when I have more of my body is already producing too much but what I did start asking myself is what is it within my body why does my body feel the need to produce like what is my liver feel the need to produce an excessive amount of cholesterol because your body is not usually trying to work against you you might know it might feel like it body is actually trying to help you or support you and some of the the psychological analysis toward high cholesterol especially if your body produces it it's creating a blockage in my body what is it trying to block and in the case of cholesterol a lot of it is it's blocking your ability to feel joy and so I'm like well why is my body wanting to produce this inability to feel a whole lot of joy because that is kind of my life I'm I have a mindset that I've been working on where nothing is ever in that there's always got to I get something, got it next what's the next thing I have this compulsion I always have to be doing more so I have that which definitely blocks me from feeling joy but where is that compulsion actually coming from why what is it that my body is trying to not having joy it could be a survival mechanism maybe it has to do with being too complacent and if you're too complacent you die so it's like when you get diagnosed with something that's chronic one of the first things that I or if I've seen a client is asked why is my body producing this for me and it is more I could totally blame mine it's just genetics but honestly I feel like there's something deeper more to that for me to be able to do something about it because if you get caught up in the mindset of saying this is just it, this is what I have period it's very disempowering for me but if I can start to figure out things that I can do so yeah maybe feeling weak, feeling tired, feeling sleepy what is it about disengaging from life closing yourself off from life, disengaging from life being sleepy what is that trying to protect you from and are you willing to allow more you know like get out of the mindset of this is just what I am this is who I am this is just what it is the doctors have told me I can't choose any differently no matter what I do I always feel sleepy you can get caught up in that loop believe me I know I've been caught up in those loops before is that loop really helping you is there something anything that you can do to start to ask this is kind of like with Alicia can you start to ask different questions approach it from a different point of view you may have not considered before and I will say the digestion digestion issues that speaking of psychosomatic because I agree like in my perspective literally everything is psychosomatic because the consciousness it's like that whole idea what came first the chicken or the egg well and spirituality keep talking I need to plug in my computer yeah you're fine and spirituality consciousness came first and so everything that's in your life is directed by your thought consciousness and your body is not trying to punish you I agree with Cindy the body is trying to talk to you is trying to show you it's your template for where there is inaccurate understanding where there is no enlightenment and we all have that every single one of us has this that's why we're in a human experience for that refinement so the digestion issues that is a fascinating psychosomatic rabbit hole to go down we can't go down everything because we're already well over an hour now but I would someone someone 9 4 3 2 I would I would challenge you to look up what digestion issues mean spiritually what is an immune disorder is your body literally attacking you why what ask your stomach what your stomach you have people who struggle with depression also typically have digestion issues as well so there's there's because there's just as many neurotransmitters in your stomach as there are in your brain so if you're think about when you're nervous you get butterflies when you're excited you get butterflies your stomach holds a lot of emotional information and it for me a lot of mine went away with with when I started eating for my dosha but what happened even though the food was changing and the energy the food was also happening though is that I took my power back because I had been a slave to what my parents had given me to eat what society told me I should eat but when I said oh my body telling me with this these digestion issues that a raw apple isn't good for me because I'm a Vata when I realize that I just stopped doing that I started eating for what my body needed I took my power back and my digestion got better also what helps with digestion again is exercise ok like look at if you start with constipation we listen no one ever wants to hang out with yoga people because all we talk about is poops and periods but if you watch marathon runners a lot of times they shit their pants because they jiggled their colon and I'm not I'm not telling you to do that I don't want you to do that but if you start to like move your body and that up and down you start to simulate that movement of the getting the organs to move up and down you're gonna start to get the digestion fluids going again it's like when we do inversions like downward dog or a head stand you know we're we're resting the organs because we're flipping them upside down and sometimes giving them that different you know flipping them upside down even just a downward dog is gonna give that simulation as well so I I look at that in this just my perspective as someone who's worked in this business industry for 18 years and I say someone someone look at your dosha and also it's totally psychosomatic so I wouldn't count that out I I think you and I think that's the gift because now you can take your power back and again it's the same thing just start with what you can do at least that's what I feel I mean the thing you know if you're struggling with income and and stuff that you know there it and it's really easy and I've been there before several times just to get caught up in the loop of feeling trapped like oh my gosh you know I feel trapped I feel like everything is kind of going against me and it's just it's a it's a very yucky uncomfortable feeling and I know that feeling and it sucks but I also believe that there is always one solution that's available to you right now so even if you you know you have one dollar in the bank account your body is in this condition it's a mess and then your life might be falling apart there is always one solution even if it's just a baby stuff that is available to you right now at this very moment there is one thing there is one thing that you can do right now at this very moment that will help to take you to the next step into the next step into the next step and so it's like doing that one little thing whether it is you know going for a little walk or and it might be totally unrelated it could be you know you have to clean out your closet or you know make your make your bed every day or there's something I guarantee you I promise you I promise you there is one thing that is available to you that you can do right now that will lead you in the direction that you want to go and so just listen and do that one thing whatever that one thing is I would say too when you're feeling exhausted and you want to nap I because that's a problem I would say put your favorite music on and dance just by yourself and see what happens see how that changes your perspective on life because yeah absolutely 100% Cindy well we this has been a really awesome episode I want to take a moment you guys make sure I'm going to put all Cindy's links in the description box below make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel now Cindy we at Sacred Garden we have zoom options so we have she's been zooming in so what what days do you teach Cindy what times do you this is all eastern time guys so if you are coming from a

and see which ones are available I just live in the area I just call my classes are available through zoom but not all of my classes are available to me so few of them and then part of the reason is because some of the classes they get really crowded and studio space is really small and then the whole camera just gets completely walked out yeah yeah I will say I'll tell for Alicia who asked the question yesterday after we were finishing the class up I you know I watched the zoom during the class but at closing I knew she was there but she keeps herself and all of a sudden she immuted herself and said something I jumped I thought it was a ghost I laughed so hard because then all of a sudden she immuted herself to say goodbye and so I laughed so hard because all of a sudden the voice came out of the zoom but yes Maya 6 30 a.m eastern time a fusion class is available on zoom and the ashtanga class on Sunday not Wednesday Sunday morning at 8 30 a.m eastern time but there are so many great teachers at sacred garden who have classes on zoom you guys and so if this is something you're interested in I'm going to put sacred gardens website in the description box below so you can read all the class descriptions and if you want to try a class you can sign up for zoom I know for my 6 30 a.m Wednesday class if you sign up for that class do it before Tuesday afternoon because since Cindy is the night owl so she's not going to be available in the morning to send the zoom link if you sign up so make sure it's the night before sign up for the class the night before and I'll get you I'll get you the zoom link but yes don't that we're 30 in the morning I'm sleeping yeah she's not going to be able to send you the link so if that ever does happen we'll just put it towards the next class but like just make sure that you're you get that in before before the night the evening comes so and yeah all there's so many great teachers at the at the secret garden that you can zoom into if

something that you want to think about all that information is on the website too so if you want like deeper work about it is very much deep spiritual work and a lot of it is some of the things that we've talked about already making that body-mind connection and through cultivating relationships outside of you that really support you through all the lulu stuff if you like the lulu stuff this class is for you so I always believe that the lulu stuff needs to inform your life and it needs to improve and better your life this lulu for the sake of lulu it doesn't mean it's not meaningful to me so I try to bring in that aspect of how it can actually make your life better don't be a spiritual materialist don't just be lulu for the sake of having an image of being lulu that drives me crazy when you see these guys and I love a good man bun every now and again but when you see the guys with the man bun in like 20 gazillion mollipedes and I'm like shut up you haven't annotated today shut

Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. If you look at some of the issues with society today, it is a lack of parenting. We see it all the time and now we see what happened in Oxford, Michigan and that is a prime example why there is a lack of parenting and it is reaching extreme measures. People don't wanna be parents anymore. They want to be friends. They want to be advocates. They want to be defenders of their kids when their kids completely screwed up. When I was a kid, I wasn't worried about the police. I wasn't worried about the teacher. I wasn't worried about the coach. I was worried about my dad and what he would do to me if I messed up. That was where my fear came from. He would tell me one time and then if there was an issue, he would very sternly explain to me. If he had to, he would throw me up against a wall and then once he felt like I understood what the issue was, he'd give me a hug and ask if I wanted to talk. That's parenting. That's discipline. Now what we see going on now, we see hard work and sacrifice being traded in for a life of comfortableness, a life of being offended, a life of laziness, a life of video games where people go through these fake scenarios, shoot and kill everybody. These young kids are doing it, blood and guts all over the place. And then when the kid actually fantasizes about portraying such a violent act, we act surprised. And we say, well, I can't believe this happened. This stuff shouldn't happen. And yet you have the parents there defending those actions. Let's take a look at what happened in Oxford. You've got a mom and dad who purchased a gun for a 15 year old psychotic kid. You say, well, how do you know the kid was psychotic? The kid was drawing pictures of blood and guts and dead and guns and all this crazy stuff and saying, help me in fantasizing about killing people. When the teacher saw the picture and contacted home, the mother texted the kid and said, you have to learn how to not get caught. LOL, I'm not mad at you. Because if I was mad at you, then I may actually have to do something that would require a parent to discipline their kid. So of course they wouldn't go in that direction. And then you see the left, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a senator already calling for gun control saying, well, if there's not a prime example of gun control, this is it. You know, a 15 year old kid got a gun. Well, there's already a law against that. You know, the dad bought the gun, he passed a background check, I'm sure he did, because that's what you have to do in Michigan with a purchase, bought it, added gun store, a SIG, most likely a P320, bought the gun and then they said they gifted it to their kid. The kid proceeded to post pictures on social media, bragging about how he is the new gun owner of the SIG. And so there's a broken law, it's a straw purchase, that's a broken law, the kid took it to school, that's a broken law. There are already laws on the books for everything that happened. The kid shot other students and grazed the teacher on the shoulder. That's against the law. Everything that is already on the law was broken. But what does Senator Chris Murphy say? We need to ban assault rifles. Well, there wasn't a rifle in this situation. What we have here is a lack of parenting. Drawing pictures of people getting killed and guns and blood and everything else. That's not against the law, but it's certainly immoral. And there's an integrity issue there that was never upheld by the parents. So what did the parents do? They wanted to defend the kid. The first thing they say is don't say anything. Wait till we get a lawyer. Well, I often give that advice as do many people when there is a legal self defense shooting. And it seems like every time that there is a shooting of any sort, you've got the left out there crying for stricter gun control. But if these people would actually take a look at what happened and all the laws that were already on the books that have been broken, you would see that the gun control that you are being a proponent of was nothing to do with that situation. And none of that would have prevented that scenario because there are already laws on the books. And that's one of the questions I often say is, outside of the 10,000 plus gun laws out there, which one are you gonna come up with to stop a psychotic shooting like this? There's a lack of parenting going on. They don't wanna discipline their kids. They wanna be their friends. They don't want to take responsibility for the actions of their kids. They want to defend them. They don't want to sternly take away their phone, their video games, every comfort in life because they want them to be comfortable. And then if anybody else questions them about it, then all of a sudden they are offended. And then I hear, okay, boomer, okay, boomer. Well, let me tell you something. Old school discipline works. I got paddled as a kid at school. I learned to never do it again. Now that's abuse. You know, the discipline that I experienced is gone and it's been traded in for be lazy, don't sacrifice, see what you can get for free. And if you don't like it, complain a lot and try to get it changed. And if you can't get it changed, then you know damn well your parents will. And it's really a disgrace what's happening. And so you've got some psychotic kids, some psychotic parents who went on the run by the way because they got charged and I'm happy for it because they bought their kid a gun. The old man bought it, but they said it was the kid's Christmas gift, why would you say that? You know, and I'm all for bonding, you know, taking your kid shooting, I'm all for that. But I'm not for doing that with some psychotic kid who has these deranged mental ideas about what he's gonna do with that gun. And then the mom says, LOL, I'm not mad at you. It's a lack of parenting going on out there. We need to bring back old school. I'm not saying we need to beat the kid, but I am saying that we need to implement discipline again. We have to stop worrying about being comfortable, stop worrying about being offended by everything and stop worrying about being a friend to a kid because it's really hurting society. And old school discipline, the boomers, they had it right. They knew how to discipline their kid and then give him a hug and sit down and discuss it afterwards, where a message is really getting across. Not the message, I will defend you no matter what, no matter what heinous crime you commit, no matter what psychotic ideas you have. It's really quite pathetic. And so this lack of parenting is hurting society. And then we've got the liberal politicians who wanna say that's not the issue. The issue is the guns. And the issue is not the guns because we already have all these laws on the books that were broken one after another in this case. We've got a psychotic kid, a psychotic parents who don't wanna do anything and it's showing every day in today's society. Let's get back to old school discipline and let's start parenting our kids. They're not our friends. They are our kids and they need to live up to a certain measure of respect, integrity and strong morality so that they could be a productive person in society. I appreciate you watching and you guys be safe.

We all want to eat the kinds of foods that make us feel better and live longer, but there's so much conflicting information out there. So many nutrition opinions. Welcome to the Nutrition Facts podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger. It's my job to give you the information you need to make the healthiest choices possible. Today, we take a close look at the pros and cons of plant-based eating. Vegetarian diets and lifestyles have been shown to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases, which now accounts for the major global burden of disease. But the actual direct medical costs had never been quantified before. Here's what they found. Same amount spent on dental work, but compared to meat-eaters that similarly don't smoke or drink, or compared to the general population, vegetarians had significantly lower inpatient, outpatient, and total medical care expenditures, suggesting more plant-based eating could be an effective strategy to save on health care costs. Here's how it broke down. Significantly lower costs for chronic lifestyle conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This makes sense. Those eating plant-based diets centered around whole plant foods nailed the targets for cholesterol, triglycerides, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, 93% of the time, 97% of the time, 88% of the time, and 95% of the time, respectively. Nearly a 50% drop in medical costs due to depression too, that's interesting, as well as lower costs across the board. Cerebrovascular disease is another name for stroke. Wasn't there that study that showed vegetarians had higher stroke risk? True, but that was before two subsequent studies found a lower risk of stroke with a vegetarian diet, and not just by a little. For ischemic stroke, the most common clotting type of stroke, vegetarians consistently had about 60% lower risk, and for bleeding strokes, about 65% lower risk than non-vegetarians, and this despite higher homocysteine due to lower vitamin B12 intake, which is what may have led to the higher stroke risk in the previous study. Overall, if you do a systematic review of all the major studies, a comprehensive meta-analysis found a significant protective effect of a vegetarian diet versus the incidence and or mortality from ischemic heart disease and incidence from total cancer, with a vegan diet referring about twice the reduced risk cancer-wise. You can also look at it the other way. What if you decide to stop eating vegetarian and start eating meat? The Adventist Health study looked at that and found that, compared to those who stayed vegetarian, those who started eating meat suffered a 231% increase risk of gaining weight, 166% increase in the risk of developing diabetes, 152% increase risk of having a stroke, and 146% increase risk of being diagnosed with heart disease. And if you keep eating meat, you may cut your lifespan by three and a half years, so better not just cut out meat, but cut it out for good. But it's not all or nothing. Even just cutting down may help. A food pattern that emphasizes plant-derived foods was found to be associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, meaning living a significantly longer life. So there are multiple benefits, even eating in the direction of a more plant-based diet, but what about any risks? Despite concerns for protein deficiency, adequate amounts of protein, which means 0.8 grams per kilogram body weight, about 50 grams a day, can be consumed on a solely plant-based diet, as seen among the other billion-plus people around the world who don't eat meat. Vitamin B12 deficiency, on the other hand, is a very real concern without a regular reliable source, and I have videos on how to do that, either through supplements or fortified foods. One benefit you don't hear much about is the role our diets play in the emergence of pandemic infectious diseases, the subject of one of my recent books. It doesn't take much for a virus to jump from one animal to another, but there are no examples of plant viruses ever jumping to humans for the same reason. We don't ever come down with a really bad case of Dutch Elm disease. The largest and oldest association of nutrition professionals in the world is clear. Plant-based diets are appropriate for all stages of life cycle and may actually provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. For example, vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, certain types of cancers, and obesity. And to learn more, they encourage people to go check out a few good websites. As the emeritus dean of the School of Public Health at La Melinda once said at a nutrition conference, attitudes towards vegetarian diets have progressed from ridicule and skepticism to condescending tolerance to gradual and sometimes grudging acceptance and finally to acclaim. In our next story, we look at how healthier plant-based diets compare to unhealthy plant foods and animal foods for diabetes risk. In my video on flexitarians, I talk about how the benefits of eating a plant-based diet are not all or nothing. It's simple advice to increase the consumption of plant-derived foods with a parallel reduction in the consumption of foods from animal sources was found to confer a survival advantage, a live longer advantage. They call it a pro-vegetarian eating pattern, just moving in that direction as a more gradual, gentle, doable approach. If you're dealing with a serious disease, though, like diabetes, avoiding some problem foods completely may be easier than attempting to moderate their intake. It's like clinicians would never tell alcoholics to simply cut down on alcohol. Avoiding alcohol entirely is a more effective and ironically easier for a problem drinker. Paradoxically, asking patients to make a large change may be more effective than making a slow transition. Diet studies show that recommending more significant changes increases the changes that patients actually accomplish. It may help to replace the common advice all things in moderation with big changes beget big results. Success breeds success. After a few days or weeks of major dietary changes, patients are more likely to see improvements in weight and blood sugar levels, improvements that reinforce the dietary changes. Furthermore, they may enjoy other health benefits of plant-based eating that may give them further motivation. Those who choose to eat plant-based for their health say it's mostly for general wellness and disease prevention, or to improve their energy levels or immune function. They felt it gave them a sense of control over their health, helps you feel better emotionally, improves your overall health, and makes you feel better. Most felt it was very important for maintaining their health and well-being. For the minority, they used it for a specific health problem. It was mostly for high cholesterol or weight loss, followed by high blood pressure and diabetes. With most reporting, they felt it helped a great deal. But others choose plant-based diets for other reasons like animal welfare or global warming. It looks like they're more likely to be eating things like vegan donuts. Sugary and fatty foods compared to those eating plant-based because of religious or health reasons. I mean, the vegan as vegan could bake a cake using soda instead of eggs, with frosting covered in marshmallow fluff and chocolate syrup topped with Oreos with a side of Doritos tipped in vegan bacon grease. But fruit for dessert in the form of Pop Tarts and Krispy Kreme Paws. This is a vegan meal. Yes, plant-based diets have been recommended to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, not all plant foods are necessarily beneficial. Like in that pro-vegetarian scoring system, you got points for eating potato chips and french fries just because they were technically plant-based. But Harvard researchers wanted to examine the association of not only an overall plant-based diet, but both healthy and unhealthy versions. So they created the same kind of pro-vegetarian scoring systems weighted towards any sort of plant-based foods and against animal foods, and then also created a healthful plant-based diet index where at least some whole plant foods took precedence and Coca-Cola was no longer considered a plant. Then lastly, they created an unhealthy plant-based diet index by sending positive scores to processed plant-based junk and negative scoring healthier foods and animal foods. And then they found that a more plant-based diet in general was good for reducing diabetes risk, but eating especially healthy plant-based foods did better, nearly cutting risk in half, while those eating more unhealthy plant foods did worse. Now, but is that because they were also eating more animal foods? People often eat burgers with their fries, so they separated out the effects of healthy plant foods, less healthy plant foods, and animal food. And healthy plant foods were protectively associated, animal foods were detrimentally associated, and less healthy plant foods were more neutral when it came to diabetes risk. Higher diabetes risk with more and more animal foods, no protection whatsoever with junky plant foods, and lower and lower diabetes risk associated with more and more healthy whole plant foods in the diet. So they conclude that yes, plant-based diets are associated with substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes risk, but it may not be enough to just lower the intake of animal food, but also less healthy plant foods as well.

Sunday was a cool summer day but the northern heat was still in full swing as Bemidji was host to the 11 and 12 year old state tournaments with teams looking to punch their tickets to the regional tournaments. Start with the 11 year olds as the northern heat took on Baxter in the championship. Heat led two to one in the fourth Joey Fancanal with a runner on second, hits it to center field that'll score run they take a three to one lead. Next batter Stonewall-Gasner pulls it down the line gets by the right fielder that scores Fancanal there up four to one. Northern heat trying to keep piling it on Jack Lunkas with the line drive but Kalin Ostroski makes the diving stag throws it to second for the double up but the northern heat come away in this one the victors they win six to two to win the state tournament.

Good morning, everybody. I'm very honored to give my presentations today. And my talk will be about faster algorithms for approximate common divisors. And it breaks a fully homomorphic encryption challenge over the integers. And this is a joint work by my supervisor, Fong Yan, and myself. So here is my plan of presentation. I'm going to start with our brief motivation in the first place. And then I'm going to introduce the problem and explain our approach and introduce our result. And also, we find that our algorithm is also useful in a number of other applications in cryptanalysis. So I will introduce the other applications, for example, in noisy factoring and low-exponent RSA programs. And finally, I'm to give a brief conclusion of my talk. So fully homomorphic encryption schemes are more and more popular. And there are a lot of new schemes proposed each year. And it's interesting because it allows to manipulate encrypted data. There are more and more fully homomorphic encryption schemes proposed each year. But very few come with concrete parameters. And actually, I'm marketing green, but you don't see it's in green. In green, the schemes comes with parameters. But this is a very incomplete list of all the schemes. And these schemes can be based on different hard problems. For example, there are problems based on ideolytysis. And it can be based on approximate GCD problems and other things as well. And a very natural question comes is how secure are these systems? In our work, we focus our study on the schemes proposed by Von Dijk and L, a Corin and L, the schemes that are based on approximate GCD problems introduced by Hagrid Graham in 2011. In fact, this scheme uses this problem and it proposed very unusual parameters. It proposed parameters with very huge numbers. Therefore, it is not clear what is the best attack. In our work, we proposed an algorithm with a time memory trade-off for algebraic exhaustive search that gives an improved attack on the fully homomorphic encryption scheme proposed by CMMT-11. And more to that, we also give several other applications using our algorithm to the realm of cryptanalysis. For example, it can be applied to some cases of RSA and factoring. Actually, this similar time and memory trade-off trick has already appeared in stresson factoring algorithm, but we show new uses of that. So let me explain the approximate common divisor problem, and then I will go to explain our approach and try to illustrate our result. The problem of approximate common divisor problem is that the secret is the big prime p, and we are given the xi's, which are near multiples of p. That means that we are given xi's that are multiples of p, but plus some very minor noise. And the question is, if we are given these xi's, how to recover the secret prime factor p? Now, if there were no noise, and then the problem would be quite easy. That means if we are given some multiples of p, and we want to recover the number, the factor p, and what we do is just we calculate the greatest common divisor of x0 and x1. And this operation is very easy, and it's just five times of multiplication. It's just very, very quick. But now we have a little bit of noise on the xi's, and then they are not exact multiples of p. They are approximate multiples of p. And in this case, the problem becomes extremely hard. How to recover the prime factor p was we are given the xi's. A very direct method is to do it by enumeration. That means we enumerate for all possible noise. And for example, we let i enumerate all the noises and calculate the gcd of x0 and x1 minus i. Actually, x1 minus i, for all those choices, only one of them will give the exact multiples of p. And for that one case, the gcd of this scheme, of these two numbers will return p. But for all the other values of i, the gcd will return 1. Based on this observation, we already give our first trick that is we can trade the gcd operation for multiplication operation, which is cheaper. That means we can first calculate the product, and then do one final gcd operation. And that means instead of doing a lot of gcd operations, we do two powers row multiplications, which already gives five times faster than gcd. And the most important in our algorithm is that we had very big improvement in calculating this product. So in this product, we really try to enumerate the noise s represented by the set s. So in enumerating the set s, we really enumerate 0 and 1 for each digit in this bit string. And actually, the set s is quite structured. It means that actually, we can decompose the set s by the direct sum of two other sets, u and v. For the set u, we enumerate 0 and 1 for each digit in the lower end of the digit, lower end. And for v, we enumerate 0 and 1 for each digit in the higher end. As a result, every element in s can be expressed by a certain element in u and another certain element in v. So we say that s can be expressed by the direct sum of u and v. And with this property, we can develop a time memory trade-off. First, let's look at this is the naive scheme for doing the product. So we just do the product one by one. And the complexity will be the size of set s, which is 2 to the row, 2 powers row. But now, we can rewrite s, the number, the loop of s, by the loop of u and v, because s is the sum. We can express s as the sum of u and v. So we can rewrite it in this way. And look at this inner loop. Actually, u i is not changed in this inner loop. So actually, we can pack this inner loop by a product of polynomials, product of factors like this. And we calculate this polynomial as the product of these factors. And then we evaluate this polynomial on the points u i, which gives exactly the same result as before. But this time, this product can be calculated in time square root of the 2 to the row over 2. And in fact, because this polynomial is independent of u i, we can exchange this procedure. We can put it out of the loop. So it looks like something like that. This is our final algorithm. We first calculate the polynomial, which is of degree 2 powers row over 2. And then we evaluate this polynomial on 2 powers row over 2 points. In conclusion, in fact, our scheme is required to do two things. First, we construct such polynomials in time 2 to the row over 2. And then we are able to construct, evaluate. There are already classical algorithms for evaluate this polynomial on 2 powers row over 2 points. I will explain these two parts. The first part is that we are able to construct polynomial using product tree. And this will cost time 2 powers s time complexity. And then we are also able to evaluate a polynomial of degree less than 2 powers s on 2 powers s points in time to power, cross-linear of 2 powers s. And how do we do that? First step is we have to construct a product tree of x minus a i with a i being the points we want to evaluate. And this will cost cross-linear of 2 powers s. And the second step is that we calculate, we evaluate the value of f a i. And in fact, since actually f a i is just f x modular x minus a i. So our evaluation is actually just the calculation of modular. But we do it in a clever way using the previous product tree. So it can be done in cross-linear of 2 powers s. Let me first introduce how we construct the product tree. We are given 2 powers s number of smaller line factors. And we group them by pairs. So we calculate the product of each pairs. And for the leaf level, there will be 2 power s minus 1 pairs. And then we group them by 2 by 2 again. And calculate that pair, calculate the product of each pairs again, and group 2 by 2. And each time at each level, there will be half of the polynomials than the previous level. But the degree of the polynomial is going to be twice as large as the previous level. Therefore, the total complexity is almost the same for each level. And finally, we reach the top with the rs levels. And the total complexity will be cross-linear in 2 power s. And then I show how to do the evaluation with a polynomial of degree at most 2 power s, 2 power s points in time to cross-linear of 2 power s. So the first step is to construct a polynomial tree with x minus ai being the points to be evaluated. This we already show can be done in cross-linear of 2 power s. And the second step is to evaluate fai. And this is the product tree that we constructed in the first step. So when we evaluate this, we're actually calculating the modular. And this modular calculation, we do it in a top-down manner. That means at first, we have fx, which is of degree 2 to the s, 2 power s. Then we calculate the modular of fx, the fx modular, this polynomial, which is in the second level of the product tree, and this polynomial as well. And since the second level has degree, the polynomial has degree 2 power s minus 1, that means that the result of this thing has half the degree as fx. But each time, when we calculate the modulus, we have twice as many polynomials to calculate. Therefore, again, in each level, our calculation, the time cost for calculation is almost the same again. And when we go down to the leaf that gives us the evaluation for all fai, and the total complexity is, again, quasi-linear into power s. This is a time memory exchange, because for a star, the product of the tree, it costs 2 power s. So this finishes the introduction of the algorithm itself. And here is the result. In the original schemes proposed by CMNT, and they proposed four challenges, twice more, medium and large, with different claims security levels, to the 42, to the 52, to the 62, to the 72 operations. And we implemented our algorithms, we launched our implementations, and we get our new security level shown in red. And actually, due to the limitation of our machines, we can only settle for the suboptimal parameters. And some additional implementation tricks can be found in the paper, which is also very interesting. We also gave an estimation of the security level for best performance of our algorithm, supposing that we have access to more memory. So suppose if we have memory of 240 gigabytes, then the medium challenge can be cracked in 76 CPU days. And for example, if we have 25 trillion bits of memory, and then the largest challenge can be cracked in nine CPU years. And you can see there is a big gap between the claim security and the new security level. And actually, there are also other attacks proposed by Cohn-Hinger, their attack is based on lattices. And however, according to our estimation, their attacks actually runs not very efficiently. It's even slower than naive enumeration. Therefore, it's not very practical. And now, actually, this time memory trade-off trick is very useful even in other realms of cryptanalysis. And here I will show four examples, and nosy factoring and our low exponent RSA schemes. And in general, in fact, as long as the set S to be enumerated can be represented by the direct sum of some equal sized sets, U and V. That means if S, the element of S, can be written as the sum of some elements in U and some elements in V, then there is possibility to perform our time memory trade-off to really lower down the cost of enumeration to the square root of the original naive enumeration by first constructing a polynomial and then evaluate it on the second set. And especially, in fact, S doesn't have to be just consecutive numbers as in the previous case. And therefore, it finds numerous applications in other situations. For example, here is an example where S doesn't to be consecutive numbers. For example, consider that we have a number N, which is a product of two prime factors, P and Q. And after some, for example, side channel attack, P is known except for k bits. And in this case, we can enumerate 0 and 1 for each unknown bits of P. But in fact, there is a structure to this enumeration so that we can divide the set of enumeration into composite into the direct sum of two sets. In the first set, we enumerate 0 and 1 for half of the unknown bits. And for the second one, we enumerate 0 and 1 for the remaining unknown bits. And therefore, it is decomposed into the direct sum of two sets. And then we can evaluate, create an polynomial, evaluate it on all xi. And finally, the complexity is 2 powers k over 2, which is the square root of the naive enumeration. And actually, compared to Coppersmith's method, no methods do not have to be consecutive. In Coppersmith's method, they can have unknown bits. But these unknown bits really have to be very together. And there is a very similar example. For example, now n equals to the product of P and Q. And after, say, a side-time attack, we have a P prime, which differs from P by k bits. But this time, we don't know which positions are flipped. So in this case, again, it is possible to decompose the enumeration space into the direct sum of some other two sets. For example, we can cut the P prime split into two halves. And for one set, we select k over 2 amount, n over 2 bits. And this gives a total amount of selection is n over 2, choose k over 2 numbers. And the other set, we does the same. And using the time memory trade-off trick, we can do this in complexity of square root of n choose k, which is almost the square root of the naive enumeration scheme. And another application to RSA's Chinese remainder theorem signature scheme. There is an RSA's Chinese remainder signature scheme saying that if we know our message, and then somehow we get 40 RSA signature s, by, for example, interfering with the signature procedure, we get 40 signature s. And then we can totally recover the key by calculating GCD of this formula. Now, in the original setting, we are really required to know the entire, we are complete message, complete knowledge of m. But now, actually, with our time memory trade-off, we are not, we can apply to the case where m has k noisy bits. For example, this could be the case where m is full of padding bits. And in this case, we can do enumeration square root, at the cost of square root of the naive enumeration, by applying the decomposition into two direct sum sets. And other applications to message recovery attacks, too. This happens when we have, after a decryption of a false attack, m is known except for k bits. And as before, we decompose, and we evaluate, and this time memory trade-off gives a very obvious speed up. And to conclude, we can always square the running time for algebraic excessive search, which had already found a faster attack on some photohomomorphic encryption scheme. And it also shows other applications to cryptanalysis, like noisy factoring and low exponent RSA. And we can ask other questions as well. For example, is it, the square root, is this really the best running time possible to calculate the product of consecutive numbers? Since consecutive numbers, there seems to be a structure in it. Is there possible to do better than square root? And then, if there are more efficient attacks on approximate GCD, we saw other attacks like Korn and Heininger based on lattice, but if there are more efficient and other attacks. And can we use more excise to speed up this attack? What we use is only X0 and X1, and is there a possible possibility to use more excise to achieve a better attack? And more in the aspect of analysis of photohomomorphic encryption schemes. Now there are a lot of works on photohomomorphic encryption schemes, but very few on the attacks. However, if we really want to know how practical and secure is the photohomomorphic encryption scheme, we need more works on attacks and concrete parameters. And that's all. And thank you very much. I'm waiting for your questions. So we have time for one question. No questions, so let's thank the speaker again.

Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the stock swishing and reviewing Apple really nice move to the downside today Wasn't going to do this and then decided to do it and I was certainly glad I did This is actually gapping down tonight as we speak So I called a put in this today and we did a day trade this today And I did say to everybody I want everybody as this is an all-day trade Although you could have got out of it, you know, I called it and then it dropped fast and you could have Get out of it. I thought this would make a larger move than it did today Market was back and forth all day today. So if the market had fallen more this would have but This still did fall and still to break the low and still to continue lower in the afternoon I just think it ran out of day, but anyways, this looks good. This looks great This is lower and like I said, this is gapping down tonight. So this is a live gap The stock closed at 174 21 boom. It's down. It's not down a million miles. It's down 30 cents But it's still down And I do believe this is lower. Now. Let's just quickly look at this Actually the cues are up, but I think that's because of Amazon So Amazon is up a wee bit tonight on news And that's why the cues are up slightly even though Apple's down again Things are not going together a hundred percent, which is unusual even in the sector You got to look out for specific things right now.

I'm Wendy Lo and I'm your friend as we journey to take your health back and what a journey it will be as long as you take the right steps to do so. We are coming to you live from downtown Honolulu from the studios of ThinkTech Hawaii. Today our topic of discussion will be on growing healthy. Remember now, growing healthy, okay? So remember that word growing, you can do it. What I would like you to take away from today's discussion is that taking your health back is easy. Then you are ready to take that step because no matter how much we share information with you, guide you and push it down your throat, if you're not ready to say, you know what, I'm tired of being sick and tired, you're going to continue to be sick and tired. But when you're tired and you want better, then take that first step and we're here to help you along. Today, I'm your host and your guest sharing all my knowledge of growing healthy by growing with the Tower Gardens. But before I get started, I just want to tell you a little bit about me. So I am not the right person actually to talk to you about growing and making things grow from the earth because I can't even grow flowers. You give me an orchid plant, I'll put it in the pot, it grows. A couple of weeks later, the flowers fall off, it's done, I'm done, I'm over it. So this is really unusual and very out of the box for me to be in this field as it is my first career and I'll get to that in a minute. It's a little bit about Wendy. I am a mother of two beautiful young ladies and that's all I wanted to be is a housewife with two young ladies and a husband and just cook and clean and take care of the family. And that's what I did until I got thrown into the business world. Then I started making chocolates. I made chocolates for about 20 years. And if you can see a slide there of me and my daughters, first of all, those two young ladies were born into the chocolate factory. So I had Cassandra, the one in the forefront. And then I had the second one as I opened my first factory. So it was like I had twins. Jumped in there, survived for 20 years, loved every moment of making chocolate. And I was a happy camper. I thought I would die a chocolate tutu. And what happened was when I turned 50, I sold it, I retired. And another career opportunity came to me. But before we get to that, let me show you a picture of what I used to look like for the last 20 years. And that is me with the hair net and the garb. And some people won't recognize me, but that's what I look like in the factory for the past 20. And now we started another factory called Chocolate Unmission. And they're continuing to perform and produce the best chocolates in all of Hawaii. But that's what I used to look like. So about seven years ago, I was introduced to a concept of growing. And it's called the Tower Garden. And so on this slide here, this is what I started growing on my balcony. Mind you, no experiencing growing, no even passion or desire to grow anything. But what happened was this opportunity came to me via a company, the Tower Garden Company, and we were test marketing to see what it would be like if people like me were being given a tower and see how easy it is to grow or not to grow. So I flew mine into Hawaii. I started with the little seedlings and I'm going to show you in a little bit how simple all this is. Start with a little seedling. After two weeks of germination, we put it into the Tower Garden. And then it grows on its own for about three weeks in the tower. It's ready to consume. So the next slide shows you I left my salad or my lettuce in a bit longer than three weeks. And so that's the same tower a few weeks later. And see how mature all that lettuce came. And so as we grow, you're supposed to cut and eat. And that is right there. It represents non-GMO seeds. I don't use any pesticides. It sits in the tower and there's a little pump that turns on and off 24 times a day feeding it all the nutrients in the water. And so I basically don't have to do a whole lot. And that's why my job is so simple because I travel a lot. I want to say raising produce and veggies on the Tower Garden is a little easier than even raising children. I don't want to compare them, but it does. It is. And what I get from it is I get very great results of great food that I get to consume daily. So I've been living off of my tower for the last seven years. Every morning I'll cut kale, blend smoothies, and I drink it every day. When I go on the road, I make fresh kale smoothies or whomever I can pass it out to. But the whole idea, again, non-GMO seeds, no chemicals, cut, five minutes old, blend it up, and it's right into my body. So I'm very, very excited about that. So our company said, wow, and your tower's growing really well. But you know what? We can't get towers to Hawaii because it's going to be about $100, $125 to ship that 48-pound box to Hawaii. And I don't think the people of Hawaii will be willing to pay that amount of shipping costs. So I said, let me try. So what we did was we gathered up some orders, and everybody was excited that saw my tower. They all wanted a tower or another tower here. So we sold the first 30 or 40, and then another shipment. And then it got to the point where everybody pretty much was jumping on board. So I asked the company, can we now get towers in Hawaii? And they said, not yet, Wendy. I don't know. We still got a test to market. So what I did was I said, what if I purchased a 45-foot container, a Mattson container? And this is exactly what I did. That Mattson container would hold about 150 tower gardens with the tonic, with the extensions, with the dollies, with everything the tower garden needed to satisfy 150 towers. And so the company allowed me to do that. We brought the tower garden in via Mattson container. Went from Memphis to Long Beach, from Long Beach to Oahu. And then when it landed, it looked like this. It was one container full of tower gardens and their items that you needed to run it. So I called my crew, my juice-less crew. I said, hey, I need help. We got 150 tower gardens that need to be unloaded. So we opened up the container. And I can honestly say that we brought in almost 1,000 tower gardens. And every one of those first tower gardens went through my hands. They're 48 pounds. They're about 18 inches high. And they're three feet in diameter. So it's a three-by-three box, three-foot-by-three-foot box. And they passed through my hands. Everything that came off of that 45-foot container, we brought them in. I believe we brought in about eight container loads. And then the company said, wow, Hawaii wants tower gardens. And I said to the company, Hawaii doesn't just want tower gardens. Hawaii needs tower gardens. Because of the fact that we have so many different companies producing food here, using a lot of different systems, chemicals and all. And so the fact that we have a lot of urban dwellers living in condominiums like myself or just living with small spaces because real estate is a high commodity here. And so the tower gardens just makes sense. It just uses about a three-foot diameter of space that will grow right now up to 52 produce, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, that can supply a family of two to four enough produce throughout the course of each month. And that's why I think this is so important. Because when you start teaching the children how to use the tower gardens and give them the responsibilities that they're gonna grow the vegetables for dinner, you know, the whole idea is when they grow it, they're gonna consume it. And that's the really neat part about the tower that generations, whether they're Kiki, whether they're the Kapuna, they both can use this opportunity to grow, grow the best source of food for their families and say they go out to eat dinner tonight. The lettuce, the kale, the tomatoes, stay on the vine and they're continuing to grow and they're buying fresh tomorrow. There's still live living food versus food that was cut a week ago and you know, who knows how long it's been sitting on the shelf. So once we bought in the tower gardens, we were very blessed. Schools adopted the tower gardens. So we have a shot here of a tower garden flourishing and this is done by high schoolers. This one sits at Eulani School. They have a sustainability department and Debbie out there, she grows on every growing medium. They're using aeroponics, which we are called. They're using hydroponics, aquaponics, sorry, and traditional farming. Every system works. It's just the one that fits your needs and your purposes. So we're here to just promote people just falling in love with growing and putting the best quality into their bodies. And that's what we're really wanting to make the people of Hawaii aware of. So growing healthy. You choose which media you want and you decide what works best for your space, your time, and then you go at it. I know a lot of kupunas when they were younger, they used to grow, but now they're at senior homes or assisted living homes. They don't have the opportunity to grow. So why not give them this opportunity? Have a tower garden there. They can tend to the garden when they feel like it. They don't have to bend down to the ground because they just don't because it's a vertical growing system. And I just think it's just the best thing. So a lot of different programs throughout Hawaii have adopted these programs. We have them in public schools, private schools. We have them at Easter Seals. I know that the Culinary Institute of the Pacific is just starting to adopt this concept. They right now have one with indoor grow lights, which I'm gonna share with you later in the show, but they're growing these vegetables and herbs within their culinary institute in their kitchen. And so that's so exciting because the chefs can turn to the tower, cut and season or cut and put into the bowls after washing and then prepare the dressing and out it goes. The freshness is robust. The smells are, you can smell it when you come onto my balcony. Who knew lettuce had smells? I had no idea. The cilantro, the lettuce, all of the different herbs, you can smell it even when the wind is blowing up high on my balcony. So I know that we're onto something and by studies from the University of Mississippi, we have studies that we can provide that shows that the vegetation that are grown on the towers registers sometimes up to a half more to two times more the nutrient content than some produce that are produced in Mother Earth. So some of you are asking, what is the tower garden and how does it work? So I've bought with me a little video to show you how the tower garden is and how it works. And then after that, I'll explain a little bit more in detail after you watch this little video. Tower Garden's state-of-the-art aeroponic vertical garden system uses both water and air to produce more colorful, better tasting and incredibly nutritious fruits, vegetables and herbs. Tower Garden has a 20 gallon reservoir at its base that stores the Tower Tonic nutrient solution. Developed by experts in plant and human nutrition, Tower Tonic mineral blend enables superior plant growth and better nutrition from your Tower Garden produce. The process begins once the seedlings have been placed in your Tower Garden. Here they will be nourished with Tower Tonic nutrient solution. Inside the reservoir is a small low wattage submersible pump. The pump pushes the nutrient solution up through the tower to the top. From there, the nutrient solution drips through the central tower using a special device that evenly cascades the solution over the exposed plant roots. On the journey down the tower, the nutrient solution feeds the roots and becomes highly oxygenated as it cascades gently down the reservoir. This process is continuous, providing fresh oxygen, water and nutrients to the roots of the plants. This patented aeroponic process enables food crops to grow faster than they would in soil so they can be harvested more often. And it makes Tower Garden the healthier, easier, smarter way to grow your produce. Wow, so is that simple or what? And that's why I love my Tower Garden so much because it's very simple. And I want to share with you as well, the Tower Garden itself is all food grade. It's not made of PVC plastics. It's all food grade. So there's no toxins that will leach into the water, into the roots, into the plants, into our bodies. Number one, they are UV protected twice. My towers have been sitting on my balcony for the last seven years. There's no cracking or chipping and it looks, I mean, yeah, it'll yellow a little bit because of the sun but it won't crack or chip like most PVC planters and plant pots. So that's another great thing because I want to know that this is going to last me a while. It is an investment. So it's lasted me seven and I expected to last the rest of my life that I will be passing it down to my children that they will continue growing. And it takes about 95% less water which is an excellent bonus. And it uses about 95% land space. So in a three-diameter feet, I can grow up to 52 plants in my home and commercially I can grow 52 plus plants on a commercial-sized tower. So there's a lot of advantages because real estate is costly, water as well, but the most important is the space. So I know this makes a lot of sense and I'm hoping that you'll see the positiveness of what we can offer with this tower garden. Right now I'm going to take it to a break and when we come back, I'll have more pictures of Tower Gardens and I'll introduce to you Tim Blang, the designer of the Tower Garden, Aloha. Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, host of Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. My show is based on my book, also titled Beyond the Lines and it's about creating a superior culture of excellence, leadership and finding greatness. I interview guests who are successful in business, sports and life, which is sure to inspire you in finding your greatness. Join me every Monday as we go Beyond the Lines at 11 a.m., Aloha. Aloha, I'm Yukari Kunisue, the host of Konnichiwa, Hawaii, Japanese talk show on Think Tech, Hawaii. Konnichiwa, Hawaii is all Japanese broadcast show and it's streamed live on Think Tech at 2 p.m., every other Monday. Thank you so much for watching our show. We look forward to seeing you then. I'm Yukari Kunisue, mahalo. Aloha, I'm Wendy Loh and I'm your host and your guest as we take your health back. So today I'm so excited to share with you all my knowledge about the Tower Garden, the importance of having a Tower Garden here in Hawaii and why it makes so much sense. As we take our health back, part of it is being excited about it and for me, I never grew any vegetables. I never farmed. We did experiments in high school and grade school. We put the little lima bean seed in there. We saw it sprout and then it came up this high and then we took it home and poops, it died. And that was the end of the experiment. But now I get to take it a few steps further where I actually sprout and grow my own food in this Tower Garden and I'm so, so excited that we get to launch it and share it and just share all the knowledge about the simplicity of this Tower Garden. Earlier I mentioned that the Tower Garden does take 95% less water. It does use 95% less land. It's made of food grade plastic versus PVC plastic so it doesn't leach toxins into the plants, in the water and the plants into our bodies and it's also ultraviolet protected twice. So that will prevent it from chipping and cracking in the dead of the heat. In fact, we have a friend, he has a Tower Garden farm, about 300 Tower Gardens commercial ones in the heart of Mesa, Arizona. The last time I was there was 120 degrees so it sits there in the heat and no problems. We have Tower Garden farms in Dubai and right in the middle of a desert where they formulate the largest greenhouses so they've concocted this large community. It's a walking community, no cars, golf carts only, walking and bicycles and they want to make it a sustainable community right smack in the desert and they've chosen the Tower Gardens to be the vehicle to produce their greens and so we're so excited about that as well. But here locally in Hawaii, we've got over a thousand Tower Gardens already in use. This year, Keokua spoke to my heart and he said, 2019 is a year of the great harvest. Continue being obedient. People will understand your message and they will see the value to what you're doing and so right now we're popping Tower Garden farms up with the Kupuna Centers, with the Vet Centers, Culinary Institutes of the Pacific is going to be engaging into this Tower Garden use because of the produce that we can get from it. They're so excited. So the next slide I want to share with you is just simply how simple this is. Those are babies, they're kikis. They're about just going into two weeks old of sprouting and this is Wendy. I brought a bunch of seedlings to show you but since we're shooting on a green screen, I brought those seedlings and you wouldn't be able to see them. So the blessing is that I have that little slide there that you can see that's about a two week growth of seedling and from this point, you'll take it out of this little black container and that little square, you simply put it into the Tower Garden. When you put it into the Tower Garden, you put it there and it'll stay there for the next about three weeks. At that point, you can start cutting, harvesting and consuming. So two weeks to germinate, about three weeks in the Tower, you'll be able to eat arugula, mescaline, lettuce, manoa, butter crunch and simply you want to just take around the edges and the heart continues to grow. Or if it's mescaline, arugula, just cut the whole head off and leave the root system behind, eat the leaves like we usually do and after about two weeks, that top that you took away will now become another head of arugula or another head of mescaline. And I would say after about the third cutting, I would then advise you to pull the root system out and then you can replan and have more cakeys ready to go, put it in and start the cycle again. So I want to just share with you, I've been growing on my balcony for the last seven years. I consume at least $100 and $120 worth of produce per month from my Tower and to manage a Tower to maintain it, it cost me about $15 a month. So basically I'm investing $15, $2.50 for electricity, $8 for the tonic and a few dollars for water, $15 investment into my Tower per month and I'm consuming $120 plus worth of produce and herbs. So you out there, you do the math. I'm Chinese, I get it. You don't have to be Chinese, it's very clear. You're gonna understand what I'm trying to say, but the best thing when you purchase and when you work with the Tower Garden, peace of mind, peace of mind that you're getting chemical free non-GMO produce cut on demand into my body five minutes old. The freshest you'll get unless living on a farm when you go out to your backyard and you cut. For me, living in urban environment, it's the best thing for me. I don't care if the farmer just cut it to get to the market, it's still a few hours old. Mine is five minutes old, cut into my body and that's what I like the best. Our company is really forward-minded. We believe in giving back and so what started this whole concept of giving back is, this next slide is about the Boys and Girls Clubs. So the Boys and Girls Clubs in inner city Memphis, they were one of the first right there by our headquarters that we gave a Tower Garden farm to and they just went crazier on it. I think they had just about 50 students in the programs. So these students started to learn how to grow and as you know, the Boys and Girls Clubs are after-school programs and then the dynamic ones meet on weekends and in lunch breaks but this one met after school. They started finding ceilings, growing it and then the next step was they also had a culinary program. So these students would grow the herbs, the basil, the tomatoes, the cilantro, all of the above. They would grow it and now they were picking the basil, chopping it up, blending it up with pine nuts and olive oil, blending it up and making pesto. They would cut the tomatoes, chop it up, they would buy onions, cut up the onions with the cilantro and they were making salsa. All right, so then they got another forward-minded idea. They said, why don't we start selling all this? So they went to the open market and they started standing behind their table with their banner in the front and they would make these items, they would make herb breads and things and then all the pastors by would take samples and like, sir, young man, this pesto, this salsa is incredible. What chef made this? And the young man would say, sir, I made it. No, no, no, son, who is the chef behind this great recipe and this great product? Sir, I made it. I even grew the tomatoes and that's how they would respond. Now these kids grew their integrity, their self-dignity, everything, their pride, it grew within themselves and they started learning marketing skills, PR skills, everything behind what they were producing on the tower, taking it from seed to growth, to production in the kitchen, to marketing and getting good results and then income generating to help other programs. I know that this Boys and Girls Club boasts 100% job placement after they finish high school and that's powerful, job placement or college placement and that's powerful because those were not the results in the past. Because of the success of this Boys and Girls Club, our president, Jay Martin, decided that he made a commitment to all the Boys and Girls Clubs in the nation. So if you're a Boys and Girls Club somewhere out there and you don't have a tower garden, our company is able to sponsor one tower garden in your Boys and Girls Club. So your members, your students can learn on this one tower and I know for a fact that we have them in Nanakuli, we have them in Kailua and we have them in Eva and we are soon to deliver one into Waianae and actually there's one more Boys and Girls Club in Nanakuli, so we're gonna be delivering that to them as well as long as we have the heart behind working with the students, helping them to produce, that's exactly what we want. So again, there are over 4,000 Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the nation and our heart is to make sure that each one of those Boys and Girls Clubs gets a tower garden and some heart behind it to help them succeed with it. Now the next story I wanna share with you is about this young man, he's Chef Muni and he's a dear friend, he is right in the heart of New York in Manhattan. On a rooftop, six stories up, he has a restaurant on the basement called Bell Book and Candle, but he believes in the towers so much, on the sixth floor, he has 30 towers and that's some of the one tower that I'm showing you there, but he produces his tomatoes, his strawberries, all of his different greens that he uses downstairs in the basement. All he does is he harvests his every day, hoists it down a dumb waiter down to the basement floor and then he prepares it for his lunches and his dinners, everything coming from the sixth floor rooftop. The neat part is when Hurricane Sandy came through, all you gotta do is take the water out of the 20 gallons, take it downstairs, put it under cover. Hurricane blows over, damages all the, whatever it does damage to, the crops in the fields, et cetera, when the storm blows over, walks it back upstairs, puts the water back in, still producing. That's the neat thing about the tower garden as well, so we're very excited. For the last, I wanna say seven going on eight years, we've had tower gardens in the O'Hare Airport and here you see about 30 towers lined up, producing produce for the restaurants within O'Hare Airport terminal one and two, it's right there in the Rotunda area and they've been producing for the last almost eight years and they actually are overproducing, so what they're doing is they're harvesting, putting them in containers and selling them at a Kia. So the next time you go through the airport and your friends say, hey, Wendy, before you get out of the airport, run to that kiosk and grab me some lettuce, it's the best because it's just harvested, no chemicals and pest free. So it's also creating better quality of air within that airport terminal, so that's so exciting as well. And now I wanna introduce to you the gentleman behind it all, he's a very dear friend, he's fallen in love with Hawaii, he just wants this for Hawaii more than life itself, his name is Tim Blank. Tim Blank was just with us about two months ago and talking his heart out about the Tower Gardens and the value of it for Hawaii, because we all know when we have a disaster, when something happens to our island, within three days our shelves are empty. If it's a hurricane or if it's bad weather, our fields will be damaged, we've got to wait a while before more fresh produce comes in, so this is just another little part of a solution to some of the problem that we have here, that we face here as an island state. So growing healthy means growing your own food, being prepared, being more food sovereign, that we can take care of ourselves in disasters or even in good times. And that's what we're wanting to encourage, people not just think after the fact, let's be in preparedness mode. With this weather today and the last few months, it's very cold for Hawaii, it's a lot of wind for Hawaii, and it's out of control sometimes. But I've got my tower, as you can see in this next slide, I have one tower right there in my living room. That's my living room and that's growing indoors with my LED grow lights. So I want to encourage others that, yeah, I can put 20 Tower Gardens on my balcony, but why not have it in my living room? It takes three diameter feet, it's right there. Again, I'm cutting kale, I made some smoothies before I got, as I got up this morning, I had meetings last night, I supplied them with smoothies so that they would stay up and alert. And I'm just so excited, can you tell? So the missing component to this all is a company that we formulated is called Tower It Up. So if you are so busy that you can manage and do what you need to maintain your tower, we've created a company called Tower It Up and Tower It Up will be just that. Your go-to person, they'll answer questions, they'll supply your cakey, your seedlings, and they'll help you to manage and maintain it. So if you are needing any questions answered, just give us a call, call us at Think Tech, go online and see where we're to be found and we'll be right there to answer any of your questions. So for Hawaii, let's grow healthy together. I mean growing healthy together. When you're ready, we're ready. Just take that first step. Aloha for now.

This lecture is titled short story as a genre and the lecture is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the Indian tradition of short story and what we have tried to do is to separate out the classical from the folk, although there is a sense of continuum that we do maintain. And in the second part then, we move on to the first flowering of the modern Indian short story within the ethos of nationalism. And within this framework, we will share the wonderful short stories of Tagore and Munshi Premchand and problematize certain issues related to these short stories. So in terms of the Indian classical tales, we would make a distinction between classical tales and the folk tales. Although within the classical tales, there is certainly a distinctive kind of presence of short tales that are very different from mythological stories. However, some of the modern anthologies of short stories, they have remarked and I am reading one of the representative remarks here that the modern short story has derived a great deal from these classical tales. So let me read this out. It is possible to trace the origins of the short story in Indian literature back to the earliest writings from the subcontinent. The Mahabharat and the Ramayana can be read as short story cycles in which each episode is a self-contained narrative. That is a really very important point of view and I do want to tell you that in recent years, lot of creative as well as critical work has grown from this source onwards. The people have looked back at these stories, reexamined the premises of these stories and created their own new fresh interpretations. We would not have time to read those stories, but when you begin to read more extensively, do have a look at some of the recent writers and their exploration of the classical base. We would like therefore to actually offer you some examples of classical tales that are not mythological in nature. Two tales have been selected by us, the obtuse monkeys from the Jatak tales and the blue jackal from the Panchatantra. Both have didactic quality and what we have tried to do is to sort of bring back a sense of the narration by asking Matthew, one of our students in the course to read these stories for you and we have also given a bit of a sense of the video context in which we would like you to imagine these stories. So here is Matthew reading the obtuse monkeys first and then the blue jackal. The obtuse monkeys. Once upon a time a tribe of monkeys lived happily in the pleasure garden of the king of Banaras. The king's gardener looked upon them as his friends and they in their turn were devoted to him. Now one day a great festival was to take place in the city. The festive drum sounded early in the morning and the townsfolk turned out in thousands to keep holiday. The king's gardener felt a craving to join the festivities. He thought to himself, why should I not have a holiday once in a while? After all that is very little to do in the park. Only a few young saplings have to be watered. Surely my friends the monkeys can do that much for me. So he went to the leader of the monkeys and said, my friend you know that this park has to be well looked after. His majesty and his subjects enjoy many benefits from it. Today there is holiday making in the city and I decide to take the day off. At the same time I cannot neglect the park. As you know young plants have to be watered. Couldn't you do the job for me just for today? The leader of the monkeys said, oh yes brother we shall look after your plants. Go and make merry to your hearts content. Thank you said the gardener but see that you do not let me down. And then after supplying the monkeys with water skins and wooden buckets he went off to the city. The monkeys immediately started their work of watering the young plants. Their leader instructed them in this way, friend remember that we have only a limited amount of water we must not waste it because if it is finished before the work is done we shall find it difficult to get more. We should water the trees according to their requirements. So it would be better if you pull out each young plant and examine the size of its roots. Then you can give plenty of water to those which have big and long roots. On the contrary a small quantity of water will do for plants with tiny roots. You are quite right sir said the other monkeys and did as their leader told them. They pulled out all the young plants in the garden and watered them according to the size of their roots. Thus with every desire to do good the faithful monkeys did great harm to their friend the gardener to the king and to all those who enjoyed the benefits of the pleasure garden. And that is what the ignorant and the foolish always do. They harm those whom they want to help. The blue jackal. This jackal named Chandrava lived near the suburbs of a city. One day hunger goaded him inside the city where he roamed the streets looking for food. The city dogs barked at him and snapped at his limbs with their sharp teeth until the poor jackal was terrified. He fled blindly trying to escape from the dogs and strayed into a dire's house. There he fell into an indigo tub and lay concealed for many hours. At dawn he managed to crawl out of the tub and somehow reach the forest. His body dyed a deep blue. All the animals of the forest gave at him an amazement. They thought that an exotic creature had mysteriously appeared and scared for their lives kept at a distance. Taking advantage of their dismay, Chandrava called out to them. Now now you foolish creatures, don't be afraid, Indra has taken mercy on you. Since you have no monarch, Indra has appointed me as your king. My name is Chandrava. You may live peacefully under my protection. At this all the animals of the forest, lions, tigers, monkeys, leopards, elephants, rabbits and the rest bowed before him and swore loyally, Oh master, they said, tell us our duties and we shall carry them out. So Chandrava appointed a lion as his chief minister, a tiger as his personal valet and a leopard as the custodian of his betel box. An elephant was made the doorkeeper and a monkey was placed in charge of the royal umbrella. And when the jackals came near him, he insulted them and drove them away, although they were his own kit and kin. In this way Chandrava lived in kingly glory. Lions and tigers killed animals for him and he ate the most delicious morsels and then he distributed the remainder of the food in a grand royal manner. One day, while he was sitting in his court, he heard the noise made by a pack of jackals nearby. At this his body quivered with pleasure and tears of joy filled his eyes. He jumped up and gave vent to a piercing howl. For a moment the animals surrounding him were stunned. But soon they understood the situation and felt ashamed at their discovery that they had been imposed upon by a mere jackal. They pounced on him. Chandrava tried to escape but a tiger pursued him and tore him to bits. As we had indicated earlier to you, folk tales are ancient stories. So they are different from classical tales and they also continue to circulate and are told and retold in different ways depending on the context in which they are anchored. They have deep roots in oral tradition and folklore and they are steeped in the life of a community and often are performed in front of or presented to an audience. And I think one of the fortunate things in recent years has been their revival in print culture. In fact even Bollywood has been influenced by the folk rhythms and the folk tales in different ways and some good films also have come out of this engagement. So now in terms of folk tales, we would like to foreground a particular aspect of the folk tales because in the next lecture we will I think continue to build this connection between the folk tales from you know our diverse culture and some of the women oriented tales. So there are these varied contexts of narration and within the domestic setup Ramanujan has identified tales that are male centered and tales that are women centered. Amongst the women centered tales, we would like to share a particular story that he has included in his collection which is called a ritual tale or a vratakatha. And the reason we have included this tale for your enjoyment and learning is related to the fact that women although they did not become writers very easily, but I think women continue to exercise their imagination to express their imaginative leaps in different ways. This particular story has a sense of urgency with which the imagination is nurtured even within the seemingly restrained restricted ritualistic world view. This story is titled a story in search of an audience and I am reading just parts of it. The story is longer and is divided into two parts where first it starts with this woman in search of someone whom she can narrate a tale and secondly what happens to this unborn child who listens to the tale. So here is the story, this is translated from Telugu. Once on the day of Ratasaptami, the seventh day of the month of Mag, when they take the temple chariot in procession through the streets, an old lady took a ritual bath from head to toe and performed a puja. She had to tell someone the story of the sun god on that Sunday in the month of Mag, that was part of her observance of the day's ritual. So she took a handful of rice colored yellow with turmeric and set out to find someone to whom she could give the sanctified rice and tell the story. But everyone she met was in too much of a hurry. She was sad that she could find no one to listen to her story but she was patient. She finally went to the back streets and found a pregnant woman of the salt seller caste who said she would listen to the woman's story but that she was terribly hungry. The poor woman said she had to have some paesum first. She wanted it made with milk and sugar and a full measure of rice because she was very very hungry. The old woman went home made a full measure of the sweet pudding and brought it to the pregnant woman. The woman was very happy and ate it all but before the old woman could begin the story she was fast asleep. While she slept like this without a thought in the world the old woman just waited the ritual rice in her hand. Suddenly she heard the child in the womb of the pregnant woman say to her, Why don't you tell me the story? I will listen to it. Put the grain of rice in my mother's navel and tell me the story. The woman was delighted. She carefully filled the sleeping woman's navel with the ritual rice. Then she told the round belly in front of her and the baby within it her story for the Sundays in the month of Mag. After she finished her story she sang a lullaby that said, Wherever you go deserted villages will become prosperous towns, cotton seeds will become pearls, dried trees will be covered with fruit. Snoll cows will give milk, barren women will have children, lost jewels will be found and dead men will come back to life. Oh baby you will have such powers as will make a king's heart glad. In the second part the narrator points out all the benefits of listening to this tale by the child in the womb and so I leave it at that. But in other words in folk tales there are also enormous variations in terms of how this need for expression of one's imagination, how that is exercised and I think that is a very very interesting part of the folk tale trajectory. We have already discussed these ideas. You can go back to lecture 21 in order to consider the imaginative possibilities of folk tales and see what you want to do with this idea. Let us now shift to the second part of this lecture where we want to talk about the first flowering of the modern Indian short story which actually I feel this flowering took place within the ethos of nationalism. And so many of the ideas that we have discussed earlier I think we will bring them on board but primarily focus on the short story. The short story no doubt is deeply connected to the novel as a form but at the same time I think it has its own identity, it has its own demands and it also is linked to the print culture and the publication of magazines, journals in which you know stories figure prominently and people even sort of the ordinary reader apart from academicians the ordinary readers also buy these magazines to read the story many times these are you know published in different parts. So in that sense we are very, very keen on focusing on the short story as an independent art form. The reason it is important to look at the short story within the nationalist framework is also related to the fact that the short story in some ways you know had greater degree of flexibility as opposed to the novel you know as you saw that the folk tradition was already there and there was also the classical tradition apart from that that sense of urgency with which you wrote and with which the reader read the stories also shaped the nature of that form. Critical survey of Indian short story a review article by M. S. Nagarajan maps 1935-45, 1960-70 and 1980-2008 as important milestones for the Indian short story based on Murali Das Melvani's book themes in the Indian short story in English and historical and a critical survey. In terms of the term first flowering this is derived from a review article but you know it caught my attention because while talking about a book of Indian short story in English the reviewer M. S. Nagarajan used this term in terms of the short story in English but in general I think this first period that has been identified by him as in terms of the short story I think is very valuable for us in terms of you know stories in Indian languages also. The second milestone according to him is 60-70 and the third is 1980-2008 and we will keep that in mind while separating materials so that historically also we can anchor our discussion. So in terms of these stories that we have talked about definitely the question of languages and the question of English as an additional language it was a very sort of important debate that shaped the consciousness of different writers whether they wrote in their mother tongue or they wrote in English I think they were influenced by these debates because on the one hand no writer wanted to remain isolated. So English offered a sense of modernity in terms of new ideas that could be explored in order to shape the new nation and at the same time the rise of the vernacular was also dramatic because there was this surge and this intense desire to express one's own sense of Indianness. So a lot of this discussion according to many scholars and we have quoted them earlier they have pointed out that the rise of the vernacular was actually the sort of key element in shaping the secular nationalist consciousness. So and of course the fact is that languages on the margins remained in a troubled state at that time also. So much of what happened in terms of the language scene it was related to languages which already had the writing tradition because remember we have many languages where the writing tradition was not so strong gradually they have also changed. So when we talk about the complex relationship between English and Indian languages we are doing this because we really have to accept the fact that translations from Indian languages into English also have played a very important role in enabling other Indians and people of other nations to get access to the world view of very many important Indian writers. And it is within this framework that we want to look at the issue of translations as a creative issue in terms of writing in every Indian language due to the plurality of the Indian context and we do accept that this becomes much more complicated when Indian writers write in English. We have already discussed some of these ideas earlier. So you know we have foregrounded them because for the short story the same ideas are very important. At the same time we do not want to just leave you with the discussion of these ideas in terms of you know generalized sense of these ideas. We thought we would share some concrete examples of stories that have been translated and the translation process also has gained momentum in our country. For example the two Tagore short stories that we have chosen these actually stories have been translated very recently in 2002 they have been published. So the two stories indicate that many short stories of Tagore were not translated or there are new translations that claim that they really express the nuances much better. So the whole avenue of translations is also in a very very important avenue which I think we should really not ignore in our desire to be creative and to contribute to the understanding of our own experience in an enriched fashion. So therefore these two stories have been placed before you with reference to our earlier discussion of Tagore in lecture 23, module 2. And you can go back to that lecture in order to see the detailed framework in which the stories can be read. The first story is titled Balai and it is the name of the protagonist who is an orphan and he lives with his uncle and aunt and what Tagore has explored in this short story is the clash between Balai who loves nature very deeply. To the you know even every single blade of grass to put it in a literal fashion is something that you know he feels for, he feels that nothing should be destroyed and at the same time naturally the uncle's point of view is very different. So he has contrasted these two viewpoints in Balai and what we I would like you to consider while reading this story and also listening to Kishore's comments later on. You can decide whether this is a story that represents certain kind of anthropomorphism that is he loves these plants because he thinks of them as you know he is given a kind of life to them which is human life and human meaning is associated with them or is it just deep empathy for nature which means that you know he sees the life which unfolds in front of him as you know in terms of their its own vitality rather than just sort of impose the sense of human feelings on it. So try and see what that story represents. We have placed Kishore's critical comments on the short story and before that we also have placed a video of tiny plants so that many times what we miss out in seeing maybe you will see it from Balai's point of view and then listen to Kishore's comments. You can read the story on your own and what we would really like you to do is to read the original and then the translated text. If you know Bangla then read the original tale and then read the translation. It would be very good if you are able to do it at least for some languages. It will help you understand issues much better. This video is titled the tiny plants in a garden. This video of my Pawai garden represents gardens surrounding any home. Gardens are cultivated and nurtured on a daily basis. Due to this close proximity to plants we begin to notice plants that grow on their own in every nook and cranny. While watching this video you will be able to recollect the sense of discovery that you experience when you watch the tiniest plants, their shape, colors, pattern of growth. They evoke a new sense of intimacy, a primordial relationship maybe. The beholder becomes a friend, protecting them from aggressive cultivation of only or neat plants. They pull you close to nature's unhindered schemes. In Tagore's Balai, Tagore describes Balai's response to tiny plants in these words. His worst troubles arose when the grass cutter came to cut the grass. Because he had posh countless wonders in the grass, small creepers, nameless violet and yellow flowers, tiny in size, here and there a nightshade whose blue flowers have a little golden dot at the center, medicinal plants near the fence, a kaalmeg here and ananth mool there, neem seeds left by birds, sprouting into plants, spreading beautiful leaves. All those were cleared with a heartless weeding tool, none of them were prized trees of the garden. There was no one to listen to their protests. So I'll start this thing with my response to one of the quiz questions. I'll read out the question first. This is regarding the Revin Thanath Tagore story, the Balai. The worldview of the writer is implied in the short story. With this idea in mind, describe the contrast between Balai and the narrator. And what is Tagore's worldview in this particular short story, Balai? The answer. Through Balai, Tagore sketches the conflict between the innocent and profound nature of an older and deeper value system with the no-nonsense and shallow attitude of the post-industrial age practicality. The young motherless Balai sees a foster mother in nature. While Balai is deeply aware of even the subtlest elements of nature, the practical narrator is neither aware of his surroundings nor of the emotions of his nephew and wife. Where Balai sees deeper profound beauty and harmony, the narrator sees only shallow inconvenience. Balai, who represents a time long past, is sensitive to the feelings of the tiniest blades of grass, while the modern man is insensitive to even those closest to him. The story also represents the loss of belongingness in today's world. While Balai has a sense of belongingness and oneness with nature so strong that he feels nature to be a part of him, the narrator is isolated from everyone and everything. Tagore's deep connection with nature and his spiritual awareness is seen in the way he describes humans as different elements of nature, weaved together in a harmonious form. His belief in the Advaita philosophy and the undying nature of life is represented through nature. Very skillfully, Tagore hints at how only those like Balai who are aware and have a sense of belongingness can comprehend the pilgrim's goal of endless life. The second story that we have placed before you is laboratory, where the scientist is a protagonist. It portrays the complex aspirations of a scientist come engineer in pre-independence India and again we have discussed this story earlier. What we asked Kishore to do is to provide his comparative assessment of Balai and Lab from his own point of view. And I thought that was a very important exercise although actually he gave a very extensive analysis of the second story in addition to whatever comments he wanted to offer on Balai. But I asked him to concentrate on his own personal view of these stories. So here is Kishore keeping you the comparative perspective. Now I would like to present a short review of another of Rabindranath Tagore's stories, the laboratory. After the small review I would be comparing this particular work with Tagore's Balai. Now the first, the short review. The laboratory which was one of Tagore's last short stories is remarkably different from Tagore's other works. In the story he successfully captures the intricate nuances of real society through the depiction of Nanda Kishore and Sohini. In Nanda Kishore Tagore captures the scientific aspirations of Indians in a pre-independent India combining the idealistic passions with very real ethical shortcomings. For example Nanda Kishore is shown to have siphoned off funds from the railways to pursue his scientific passions. And in Sohini, Tagore captures the new woman, sharp, dynamic and free. One realizes how deep an understanding of human nature Tagore had by the way he paints a more real world relationship between men and women, one in which love is often used as a tool of manipulation and how the lack of restraint can become once undoing. From the contrast between the laboratory and Balai. In this work, the laboratory, one doesn't see the harmony and oneness normally seen in Tagore's stories, particularly Balai. Tagore towards the end of his life had started focusing more on social issues and portraying the world as it was. No matter how different the writing style, the fact that Tagore's writing still strikes a special chord with a reader cannot be disputed. Now I shall move on to how, I mean move on to slightly more personal section, how I relate to both stories and the explanation regarding that. As a young engineer and researcher, I find the laboratory to be a very special story because of the way Tagore has captured the pursuit of science and learning and the challenges associated with it. Tagore's emphasis on passion and complete focus on one's research work in particular strikes a chord. We see this in the following excerpt from the story. What do you see as his greatest strength as Choudhury? Shall I tell you? Not his learning but his total dispassionate reverence for learning. What further adds to the charm is the fact that Tagore has been able to capture the challenges involved in research work brilliantly. These include being distracted by faint love, being affected by narrow-minded individuals, ridiculed by those who can't comprehend what you're doing, etc. Many experienced young researchers would agree that the love theme has in fact been depicted to a level of scary accuracy and this quotation from the story would highlight this. Rebati's real work had come to a halt. The flow of his inquiry had been broken. His mind would be intent on Nila's arrival. Nila did not think that the damage to his work was damaging the world in any way. Did not think that the damage to his work was damaging the world in any way. He thought it all to be a huge joke. The story successfully paints a picture of contrast. Nanda Kishore had never let any woman affect his work while the naive Rebati falls into Nila's trap, with narrow-minded people like Nila not even realizing the harms of what they are doing. Now, on a slightly different level, how the spiritually inclined person and creative writer in me relates to these two works. Clearly the spiritual person and creative writer in me clearly loves Balai far more than the laboratory. Balai must be acknowledged as an idealized world far from the real world depicted in the laboratory. Deep down, although I realize that such an ideal world is not possible, the very thought of existing in such a world captivates my imagination. The depiction of the world down to the tiniest blades of grass and the oneness emphasized in Balai have the ability to completely transport one to a different and perhaps better world. Most of us have had to live a chained life in cities for professional reasons. Balai stirs up the deep desire in all of us to just let go of it all and head out to some river, forest or mountain top and become one with nature and find that moment of peace and contentment. After all, why can't we just all return to that innocent way of life? Now after listening to Kishore's comments and also after reading the short story, I think we will once again emphasize that there are issues that we need to understand and these are listed for your consideration. Are the cultural nuances lost in translation? Is every translated text trans-created? These will remain open-ended questions that we will have to answer each time we read a translated text or we will have to keep it in mind because after all, we are trying to see or we are trying to seek better understanding of a text. But this will remain a constant factor and it will our understanding and our analysis will vary depending on the specificity of the piece that we are reading. So please keep that in mind. You know this thought I wanted to place before you after looking at some very critical titles that Sujit Mukherjee offered vis-a-vis Rabindranath Tagore. For example, he has in his book Translation as Recovery, he has critical essays titled Rabindranath into Tagore, the translated poet, the English Rabindranath etc. They are by suggesting that some drastic changes occur in the process of translation and I am not sure if he is comfortable with that. So in other words, this is also a critical exercise, a critical cultural exercise because are you transforming the text in order to fit some other preconceived notion of what you want the writer to sound like etc. Since you know he has raised these questions, I wanted you to be aware of them. But at the same time, I have to tell you that our students did not experience any barriers in reading these two short stories and in fact they seem to accept bilingualism as a cultural reality. In other words, if at all there were stumbling blocks in the translation, they would have articulated it, they are critical readers, they did not find anything problematic about the translation. In terms of the issues of bilingualism, I think Tagore himself had a very, very open view or he was very open minded about the role of other languages especially English because as I said earlier, there was such a desire in the nationalist period to really be in touch with the rest of the world. And this, whether writers wrote in their mother tongue or they you know also had access to other cultures who read them like Tagore. In both cases, they were interested in reading the writing of other writers and they were interested that their writings be read by people in other nations. So therefore, these debates of translation, these are debates about the Indian identity and therefore, another question that immediately crops up is related to the access or our access to these translations in terms of the rural urban divide. So, if we are located in urban India, are we able to read stories about rural India effectively and also are we listening to voices from the margins. My answer is that yes we should actively in fact seek these voices. In terms of the rural urban divide, another very important Indian writer who was able to bridge this divide because of his own deep sense of you know diversity of his own background and also different the variations within the Hindi belt, he wrote about the rural as well as urban characters. So, I want to place Munshi Premchand's short stories before you and of course, this is such a rich feel one would not be able to do full justice to it right now, but what I would like you to do is to read at least one or two short stories and also recognize that even here there are very complex issues of translation. For example, many of these stories were written by Munshi Premchand in Urdu and then they were translated into Hindi by the writer himself or sometimes by other interpreters and in that process many changes have also occurred you know and recently I just chance to see this report by Seema Chishti in which she has pointed out that two stories Khafan and Puski Rath and this is based on interviews of important scholars in the field she has pointed out how in the Urdu version of Puski Rath it is said that there are 16 additional lines when the central character's wife quizzes him at length on what is happening and she ends up taking an assurance from him that the farmer will continue to farm and fight his circumstances. Now, something like this is extremely important because in this story that is being discussed here titled Puski Rath Halko the farmer seems to almost give up because you know he faces so much adversity and it is such a bitter winter that he is not able to really look after his farm and his farming interests and Munni his wife is really very very bothered by this situation and they are wondering if he should actually go back to being a labourer rather than you know remaining a farmer and Jabra their dog he is the only source of solace for Halko in some ways. So if the last 16 lines are missing from the Hindi text then surely I think it makes a crucial difference to the content of the story because in the last 16 lines Halko regains his ability to fight against the adversity that he faces. So let us listen to that last part you can again read the Urdu version and the Hindi version whenever you can. The other short story of Punshi Premchand that we would like you to read is the chess players and I would really like you to read it in Hindi first and then in any available English translation the translation that we had access to is was undertaken by PC Gupta and it is available in BN Pandey's anthology. What you will also realize is that many of these short stories of Munshi Premchand are so powerful and they are you know so so evocative that films have been made out of those short stories. One of them is the fabled film version by Satyajit Ray. So read the chess players and then see the film by Satyajit Ray. We offer you only a glimpse of that film where you know the army the British army is about to take over you know the kingdom of Lucknow and you know they sort of it is full of hired soldiers led by the Britishers and on the other hand these two characters the main characters they are totally absorbed in the game of chess and their Epicurean lifestyle and at that particular moment in the story they have this intense interpersonal conflict. So they are so absorbed in these you know sort of destructive activities that they have no strength to fight the Britishers or to even protest against their easy take over of the kingdom at all and there is this young child who watches this scene and laments that there is not even a sort of sound of protest, a gesture of protest. So this is the scene we have placed before you. We hope you will enjoy it and we hope you will read Indian writers in their own in the languages that you have access to and see the translation process or undertake translations yourself. You can also look at translation as a very complex activity and translation as a term also can have enlarged meaning because it can also mean transference from one medium to another medium. So do examine these ideas and we will move on to the next lecture.

Live from San Jose, California, it's theCUBE. Covering Big Data Silicon Valley 2017. Hey California, Silicon Valley at the heart of the Big Data world. This is theCUBE's coverage of Big Data Silicon Valley in conjunction with Strata Hadoop. Of course we've been here for multiple years. Covering Hadoop World for now our eighth year, now that's Strata Hadoop. When we do our own event, Big Data SV, in New York City and Silicon Valley, SVNYC. I'm John Furrier, my co-host George Gilbert, an analyst at Wikibon. Our next guest is Tendu Yogurtcher with Syncsort, general manager of the Big Data. Did I get that right? Yes, you got it right. It's always a pleasure to be here. I love your name. It's so hard for me to get, but I think I was close enough there. Welcome back. Thank you. Great to see you. One of the things I'm excited about with Syncsort is we've been following you guys. We talk to you guys every year and it just seems to be that every year more and more announcements happen. You guys are unstoppable. You like what Amazon does. It's just more and more announcements. But the theme seems to be integration. Give us the latest update. You had an update. You bought Trillium. You had a deal with Horton or she got integrated with Spark. You got a big news here. What's the news here this year? Sure. Thank you for having me. And yes, it's very exciting times at Syncsort. And I probably say that every time I appear because every time it's more exciting than the previous, which is great. So we bought Trillium software and Trillium software has been leading data quality over-educated in many of the enterprises. And it's very complementary to our data integration data management portfolio because we are helping our customers to access all of their enterprise data, not just the new emerging sources in the connected devices and mobile and streaming. And also leveraging reference data, the mainframe legacy systems and the legacy enterprise data warehouse. While we are doing that, accessing data, Data Lake is now actually, in some cases, turning into data swamp. And that was a term Dave Valente used a couple of years back in one of the crowd chats and it's becoming real. So data... Real being the data swamps, I mean, data's legs are turning into swamps because they're not being leveraged properly. Exactly, exactly. Because it's about also having access to write data. And data quality is very complementary because Trillium has trusted write data served to enterprise customers in the traditional environments. So now we are looking forward to bring that enterprise trusted data quality into Data Lake. And in terms of the data integration, data integration has been always very critical to any organization. It's even more critical now that the data is shifting gravity and the amount of data organizations have. What we have been delivering in very large enterprise production environments for the last three years is we are hearing our competitors making announcement in those areas very recently, which is a validation because we are already running in very large production environments. We are offering value by saying, create your applications for integrating your data, whether it's in the cloud, originating in the cloud or originating on the mainframes, whether it's on the legacy data warehouse, you can deploy the same exact application without any recompilations, without any changes on your standalone Windows laptop or in Hadoop MapReduce or Spark in the cloud. So this design once and deploy anywhere is becoming more and more critical with data is originating in many different places and cloud is definitely one of them. And our data warehouse optimization solution with Hortonworks and EdgeScale, it's a special package to accelerate this adoption. It's basically helping organizations to offload workloads from the existing TerraData or NITISA data warehouse and deploying in Hadoop. We provide a single button to automatically map the metadata, create the metadata in Hive or on Hadoop and also make the data accessible in the new environment. And EdgeScale provides fast BI on top of that. Wow, that's amazing. So I want to ask you a question because this is another theme, so I just did a tweet just now while you're talking, saying the theme this year is cleaning up the data lakes or data swamps, aka data lakes. The other theme is integration. So could you just lay out your premise on how enterprises should be looking at integration now because it's the multi-vendor world, it's a multi-cloud world, multi-data type and source with metadata world. How do you advise customers that have the plethora of action coming at them? IoT, you got cloud, you got big data, I got Hadoop here, I got Spark over here. What's the integration formula? So first thing is identify what your business use cases. What's your business challenge? What's your business goals and the challenge? Because that should be the real driver. We see in some organizations, they start with the intention, we would like to create a data lake without having that very clear understanding. What is it that I'm trying to serve with this data lake? And data as a service is really becoming a team across multiple organizations, whether it's on the enterprise side or on some of the online retail organizations, for example. And as part of that data as a service, organizations really need to adapt tools that are going to enable them to take advantage of the technology stack. The technology stack is evolving very rapidly. The skill sets are rare and skill sets are rare because you need to be kind of making in the arguments, am I hiring PhD students who can program Scala in the most optimized way or should I hire Java developers or should I hire Python developers? So, and the names of the tools in the stack, Spark one versus Spark two APIs change, it's really evolving very rapidly. It's hard to find Scala developers. I mean, you go outside and look in the alley. Exactly. So you need to be, as an organization, our advice is that you really need to find tools that are going to fit those business use cases and provide a single software environment that data integration might be happening on-premise now with some of the legacy enterprise data warehouse and it might happen in an hybrid on-premise and cloud environment in the near future and perhaps completely in the cloud. So standard tools, tools that have some standard software behind it so you don't get stuck in the personnel hiring problem of some unique domain expertise that's hard to hire. Yes, skill set is one problem. The second problem is the fact that the applications need to be recompiled because the stack is evolving and the APIs are not compatible with the previous version. So that's the maintenance cost also to keep up with the things, to be able to catch up with the new versions of the stack. That's another area that the tools really have because you want to be able to develop the same application and deploy it anywhere in any compute platform. So Tendu, if I hear you properly what you're saying is integration sounds great on paper, it's important, but there's some hidden costs there. Yes. And that is the skill set and then there's the stack recompiling in the future. Okay, that's awesome. So take a step back and zoom out and talk about sync sorts positioning because you guys have been changing with the stacks as well and you guys have been doing very well obviously with the announcements you've been just coming on the market all the time. What is the current value proposition for sync sort today? The current value proposition is really we have organizations to create the next generation modern data architecture by accessing and liberating all enterprise data and delivering that data at the right time and the right quality data. That's our, it's liberate, integrate with integrity. So that's our value proposition. How would it that? We provide that single software environment you can have batch legacy data and the streaming data sources integrated in the same exact environment and it enables you to adapt to Spark2 or Flink or whichever compute framework is going to happen. That has been our value proposition and it is proven in many production deployments. Hey, what's interesting too is the way you guys have approached the market you've locked down the legacy. So you have, we've talked about the main frame and it's well beyond that now. You guys have un-understand the legacy so you kind of lock that down, protect it and make it, it's not, I mean secure, it's security-wise but you do that too but making sure it works because still data there. These legacy systems are really critical in the hybrid. A main frame expertise and heritage that we have is a critical part of our offering and we will continue to focus on innovation on the main frame side as well as on the distributed. One of the announcement that we made since our last conversation was bringing, we have partnership with Compware and we now bring more data types about application failures, it's abandoned data to splunk for operational intelligence and we will continue to also support more delivery types. We have batch delivery, we have streaming delivery and now replication into Hadoop has been a challenge so our focus is now replication from DB2 on main frame and we send our main frame to Hadoop environments that's what we will continue to focus on main frame because we have heritage there and it's also part of a big enterprise data lake. You cannot make sense of the customer data that you are getting from mobile if you don't reference the critical data sets that are on the main frame and with the Trillium acquisition it's very exciting because now we are at a kind of pivotal point in the market, we can bring that data validation, cleansing and matching superior capabilities we have to the big data environments and one of the things is also- So when you have a low latency, is it you guys do the whole low latency thing too? You bring it in fast? Yes, we bring, that's our current value proposition and as we are accessing this data and integrating as part of the data lake, now we have capabilities with Trillium that we can profile that data, get statistics and start using machine learning to automate the data stewards job. Data stewards are still spending 75% of their time trying to cleanse the data. So if we can- A lot of manual work labor there. Exactly. And modeling too by the way, the modeling and just the cleaning, cleaning and modeling and kind of go hand in hand. If we can automate any of these steps to derive the business rules automatically and provide the right data on the data lake, that would be very valuable. This is what we are hearing from our customers as well. You know, we've heard probably five years about the data lake as the center of gravity of big data but we're hearing at least a bifurcation and maybe more where now we want to take that data and apply it, operationalize it in making decisions with machine learning and predictive analytics. But at the same time, we're trying to square this strange circle of data, the data lake where you didn't say upfront what you wanted it to look like but now we want ever richer metadata to make sense out of it. You know, a layer that you're putting on it with data prep layer and others are trying to put different metadata on top of it. What do you see that metadata layer looking like over the next three to five years? So the governance is a very key topic and for organizations who are ahead of the game in the big data and who already established that data lake, data governance and even analytics governance becomes important. So what we are delivering here with the Trillium we will have generally available by end of Q1. We are basically bringing business rules to the data. So instead of bringing data to business rules we are taking the business rules and deploying them where the data exists. So that will be a key because of the data gravity you mentioned because the data might be in the Hadoop environment, data might be in a legacy enterprise data warehouse and it might be originating in the cloud and you don't want to move the data to the business rules. You want to move the business rules to where the data exists. Cloud is an area that we see more and more of our customers are moving forward. The two main use cases around integration is one because the data is originating in cloud and the second one is archiving data to cloud and we announced actually tighter integration with cloud director earlier this week for this event and that we have been in cloud deployments and we have actually an offering in elastic map produced already on EC2 for a couple of years now and also on the Google cloud storage. But this announcement is primarily making deployments even easier by leveraging cloud directors elasticity for increasing and reducing the deployment. Now our customers will also take advantage of integration jobs from that elasticity. Tendu, it's great to have you on the queue because you have an engineering mind but you're also now the general manager of the business and your business is changing. You're in the center of the action so I want to get your expertise and insight into enterprise readiness concept and we saw last week at Google cloud 2017, the Google going down the path of being enterprise ready or taking steps, I don't think they're fully ready but they're certainly serious about the cloud on the enterprise and that's clear from Diane Greene who knows the enterprise. And it sparked the conversation last week around what does enterprise readiness mean for cloud players because there's so many details in between the lines if you will of what products are, that integration, certification, SLAs, what's your take on the notion of cloud readiness? You know, vis-a-vis Google and others that are bringing cloud compute, a lot of resources with an IoT market that's now booming, big data evolving very, very fast, a lot of real time, a lot of analytics, a lot of innovation happening. What's the enterprise picture look like and from a readiness standpoint, how do these guys get ready? So from a big picture, for enterprise, there are a couple of things that these cannot be afterthought. Security, metadata lineage as part of data governance and being able to have flexibility in the architecture that they will not be kind of recreating the jobs that they might have already deployed in the on-premise environments, right? To be able to have the same application running from on-premise to cloud will be critical because it gives flexibility for adoption in the enterprise. And enterprise may have some map-reduced jobs running on-premise with the Spark jobs on cloud because they are really doing some predictive analytics, graph analytics on those. They want to be able to kind of have that flexibility of architecture where we hear this concept of a hybrid environment. And you don't want to be kind of deploying a completely different product in the cloud and redo your jobs. That flexibility of architecture, flexibility in adoption. So having different code bases in the cloud versus on-prem requires two jobs to do the same thing. Two jobs for maintaining, two jobs for standardizing, and two different skill sets of people, potentially. So you want security, governance, and being able to access easily and have applications move in between environments will be very critical. So seamless integration between clouds and on-prem first, and then potentially multi-cloud? Yes. So that's table stakes in your mind. They are absolutely table stakes. And a lot of vendors are trying to focus on that. Definitely Hadoop vendors are also focusing on that. And also one of the things like when people talk about governance, the requirements are changing. We have been talking about single view and customer 360 for a while now, right? And do we have it right yet? The enrichment is becoming key. With Trillium, we made a recent announcement, precise. Enriching, it's not just the address that you want to deliver and make sure that the address should be correct. It's also the email address and the phone number. Is it mobile number? Is it landline? It's enriched data sets now we have to be really dealing and there's a lot of opportunity and we are really excited because data quality discovery and integration are coming together and we have a good... Well, Tendu, thank you for joining us and congratulations on, yes, as SyncSort broadens their scope to being a modern data platform solution provider for companies, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you for having me. We're live on theCUBE here, live in Silicon Valley in San Jose. I'm John Furrier with George Gilbert.

Here at the green turtle classic powered by SFM sports net York with a 13-8 win over Nazareth now joined But your coach Brandon Childs coach this was a 7-7 game in the third quarter It seemed like what really changed most drastically was the face-off department. Yeah, absolutely early on We got a couple violations in the first half which slows any face-off guy up because they you know, we can't go man down against Nazareth It's all over the sky report. We went man down one time and they scored on it And so we didn't want to go man down so that slows us down at the face-off facts Once the second half rolled around and was clean slate Yeah, we were able to go after those face-offs and it wasn't it wasn't just the great work at the X But the wings came in and no question outstanding for us today No question about that a game where your defense seemed to play really well The guy that really jumped out at me was Tolbert that just seemed to be giving fits They got a couple of really high-powered senior attack men on the other side of the field and you guys I know that one of them came away with six points on the day But for the most part you prevented them from taking the game over Yeah, I mean there's no doubt about it those those two kids that you're alluding to six and twenty eight for them are So good and they're seniors and they work so well together And and I think that we did a pretty good job neutralizing them as to what you're speaking about with Taylor Tolbert He's real tough and strong kid and with a short stick To be able to bump guys off their line is huge and he's just a really hard worker for us and does a lot of the You know a lot of the dirty work So it's great that you were able to notice what he was able to do 7-0 best start in school history Huge win over an undefeated number nine team in the country. I mean, I don't know how much more you could ask for from your group At this point we're gonna ask him to win tomorrow. Yeah, that would be okay fair sure But I mean seriously just reflect on the 7-0 start and and how it has all come together for your team Yeah, I mean I'm really proud of our group because we play a lot of young guys And I think one thing that we've we did a good job of is being able to play fast today But poised at the same time. So we got some quick hitters on them At times, but then we had some long possessions where he grinded it out and ended in a goal So to be able to play fast at times But also be able to be disciplined with the ball in the decision-making with such a young group is what I'm most proud about Not really our record, you know more what we're doing But but the reality is with a young group our whole MO the whole time has just been to been one game at a time And not really to be concentrating on anything in March and just try to be our best in May And so it's on to tomorrow. How do you get him ready to turn around and face Lynchburg so quickly? Yeah, well, we have a plan in place I don't know if it'll work, but we've got a plan in place in terms of recovery time and some of those things and we're gonna go Back to campus and and and and get to work right away here We have a luxury of being not too far far. Yeah, which helps us out here a little bit So we'll try to get our guys ready And then we'll stick around here and do some work on Lynchburg and they're a great team and they're super athletic And you know, it'll definitely be another great one tomorrow and just last thoughts being part of this Atmosphere and this event the green turtle classic what an incredible event it is with so many great teams Just what was your your taste of it like today? Yeah, it's it's an awesome experience I want to thank the people at Stevenson and coach can of being for for putting it on and then having us to be a part of it It's it's awesome for us to be involved in it. I really enjoy it I think that the thing about it is every coach and every player needs to be a little crazy to play to and back Sure, and I kind of you know Makes me respect all the different programs that come down here And I guess on a personal note as we were taking the field and Denison was coming off They were kind of hooting and hollering and cheering for us and then our guys just did the same thing with RIT So it's really neat to see some of like the lacrosse community in general is close-knit and real supportive of one another And it happened between the games and it was totally unscripted. That's cool. That was great That's really cool coach. Congratulations. Yeah, thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it

8 Reasons Why You're Stressed Out
|
Stress is a natural reaction to what could be challenges or threats. When this happens, your adrenal glands respond to stress by releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. But feeling stress for a prolonged period of time can lead to burnout and exhaustion, which can be bad for your mental health. Are you feeling stressed out in life right now? Are you looking for tips on stress management? When it comes to dealing with stress successfully, we need to recognize the signs of stress as well as the causes of stress first. So, here are 8 things that may be triggering your stress.

Hey Psych2Goers, do you know what triggers your stress? Knowing common stressors can be a big part of combating the tension you feel. Most people have trouble identifying their triggers and may wind up feeling the effects of stress without knowing what caused it. So here are eight things that may be triggering your stress. 1. You have trouble with finances. Are you worried about making enough money to be financially stable? Well, you're not alone. Because according to the American Institute of Stress, money is the second most common source of stress in the United States. Making enough money requires hard work, budgeting, knowledge, and physical responsibility. As much of the world revolves around money, the ways of making and managing income can become very stressful and take a toll on your well-being. 2. You have toxic friends. Dear friends, complicate everything and leave you stressed out a lot. While good friends are supposed to help and support you through life's challenges, toxic friends may drain your energy and hurt you. They may be hypocritical, selfish, and cause a great deal of drama. Then any prolonged stress they may cause you can lead to negative effects on your emotional and mental well-being. 3. You're affected by someone else's stress. Do you notice that you feel worse when the people around you are stressed out? Maybe your friends are panicking over a test for a class you don't take, but for some reason you feel panicked too. Stress is contagious, and this is especially true when you're an empath who's in tune with what others feel. So it's important to be aware of the kind of energy you surround yourself with. 4. You're going through a big life change. Are you stressed out when things change? Events or lifestyle changes like moving to a new state, practicing social distancing, or losing a loved one can send even the calmest person spiraling. According to Dr. Srinni Pillay, big life changes can lead to cognitive dissonance, which is when your beliefs and behaviors don't match up. Large disruptions in your life bring about uncertainty and therefore more stress. 5. You have a traumatic upbringing. Your upbringing can make more of a difference to your current self than you think it does. It can influence your identity and attitude to how you deal with stress. For example, a rough childhood may lead you to develop CPTSD, complex post-traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms of CPTSD are trouble regulating emotions and impulses, a skewed sense of self, and alterations in life meaningfulness. 6. You have an alcohol addiction. Do you often turn to drinking when dealing with stress? While alcohol may temporarily help you cope with stress, it can contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety in the long run, which can make stress more difficult to deal with. As an addiction treatment center put it, the aftermath of drinking alcohol includes a drop in blood sugar levels and aggravating symptoms of anxiety for some. So if you find yourself particularly stressed out after a night of drinking, you may want to make a mental note to consider that before going out and doing the same thing again. 7. You have negative beliefs towards life. While there are external triggers for stress, there are also internal ones. Being pessimistic and lacking the ability to let things go can trigger a stress response. It may be because talking negatively to yourself can make you view things as more negative, or that holding on to anger and resentment can make you more susceptible to the stress that comes from those emotions. Keeping your body in a constant state of alarm will result in stress and exhaustion. 8. You have cumulative stress. You find yourself reaching a breaking point at a seemingly random time. This may be because of what's called cumulative stress. There isn't one big reason for your stress, but several small ones that add up. You may be able to handle each small event individually, but feel overwhelmed when they start to pile up. Having time to process and recover in between, particularly trying circumstances, is crucial. And without it, you might be more at risk of the negative side effects stress brings. Do you relate to any of these signs? What do you plan to do next? Let us know in the comments below.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here since I'm a Halloween ends in this video here again today and talking About some comments that viewer and on has tweeted out that has people some people anyway talking about what they are expecting for Halloween Ends now going into this upcoming October. So viewer and I put out some tweets Earlier this week Mentioning the reshoots that are gonna be happening soon and Also pointing out that from what they know, it's not just a Michael Myers kills a lot of people in lower show Has to stop them sort of movie. There are other factors and threats it at play The movie hasn't had a public public test screening yet What I know is based on script information on preview two and some sources working on the film in various capacities But right now it's more interested in the boogeyman than just Michael Myers Basically, this is an early four months out to call Four months out call to ready yourself for something different and don't just hate it because it's different They made their carpenter love letter in 2018's Halloween and their ultimate slasher movie in Halloween kills This is going to a or this is going in a different way So as far as you know, the first bit of comments there It's not just a Michael Myers kills a lot of people in the lower shows has to stop them sort of movie There are other factors that play and saying it's more interested in the boogeyman than just Michael Myers It sounds like we're gonna have a lot more of a psychological film this time around now going off of what viewer Not himself again is tweeted. It doesn't seem as though viewer non has seen this movie This is mostly again, just what like stuff that's been told to them about the script and other things Dave again made made a point to mention they are in the know about and Giving their thoughts on what it sounds like Halloween ends is gonna be like that's what I'm gathering because they haven't it doesn't sound like They've seen the movie So when it comes to what they have to say, I hope it is something that's a lot more Psychologically driven in a sense that you get to focus in on how these characters have been impacted from the events of Halloween 2018 Halloween kills learning what they're dealing with learning where they are in life Learning how Michael Myers has impacted how things are done in Haddonfield because we know that there's going to be a current state of Haddonfield that we're going to have addressed that information was shared from Phantom Empire. I made a video talking about it So we know that there's going to be certain factors involved here in the movie that that end up resulting from The events of Halloween kills in Halloween 2018 It's a response to what Michael Myers has done in the last four years and now Haddonfield has completely been reshaped Some people have moved out some people have moved in some people don't believe what happened four years ago Actually happened from what I remember if that's how the rumor was to be interpreted Some people are again just like a completely oblivious And they're still moving in just because they want to move in and they don't really care So as it pertains to Michael Myers and his whole impact on Haddonfield I am interested in seeing a movie that's more about that than just jumping right into Michael Myers sees a person person dies, you know, I want to have more of this Psychological aspect played up a bit more Just to kind of see where these characters heads are at before they start dying Give us a reason to grow attached to them grow invested in them making their deaths Some of them more impactful than others making their deaths mean something Whereas again with Halloween kills. It was just carnage candy A fast food style slasher movie that was fun for the most part, but it had a lot wrong with it For instance, like I may mention of in my review for it With the legacy characters that they bring back. They don't really do anything to kind of get you invested in them Outside of just saying oh, hey, you remember Tommy Doyle or hey, you remember Lindsay Wallace, okay But who are these people now? Who the hell are they? Why should I care about them now? What is going on because they just we see them and you know, it's nostalgic and then we have this brief interaction between Lori and Tommy and it's so fast. They don't even let the audience Enjoy that there and it seems like honestly between their interaction that they had just seen each other a few weeks ago or something There was no vibes coming off there that made it seem like they had not seen each other for 40 years So everyone else they were all in this loop and the audience was left out of it That's how it felt by how fast and the treatment of certain reunions in halloween kills So with that in mind Going into you know, talking about the boogeyman aspect, you know, I want to see that hiked up a bit more You don't just make it about Michael Myers in the sense of talk about what Michael Myers represents talk about Who Michael Myers is to Haddonfield? You don't have to just You don't have to just zero it out to Michael Myers. We know it's about Michael Myers That's Haddonfield's boogeyman But it could be talked about in a way which is very thought-provoking to your audience Again, it's playing up the psychological aspect. Are they you could maybe some people might start to doubt They're talking about Michael Myers for whatever reason. Of course those of us like me Some other people who are diehards to the series know that the boogeyman in reference would be Michael Myers That's again me interpreting what viewer non has stated I wouldn't mind a movie like that if it's just more so, you know Again, I've already talked about like a less is more approach Don't have Michael Myers just wandering around doing all this killing so so fast Let things breathe let certain developments occur Let certain things happen throughout the day. Let us see Michael Myers stalking these people throughout the day too You could do something like that and then see how they all end up reacting To whatever ends up occurring on that halloween night four years later when Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield to wreak havoc once again because as of now The only three people that i'm interested in seeing right now because again it's it this movie is very tight-lipped They've done a great job as a compared to halloween kills The only people i'm interested in seeing and learning about right now are lori allison and lindsay seen if they're even Like this trio of characters that hang out seeing what The night of 2018 did to all of them Seeing how the death of her parents has impacted allison because she lost both of her parents Seeing how Karen's death impacts lori as well since that was her daughter She didn't really seem to care about her son-in-law. So i'm not expecting her to even be upset about him But it would just be nice, you know, again play up with the psychological stuff Maybe there's some things going on in alice's life where she has nightmares about michael mires Or maybe lindsay has nightmares about michael mires something that could be done to play up that aspect before we see michael mires start wreaking havoc, but We'll see what ultimately ends up happening happening when the movie releases in october What type of halloween Ends do you want to see do you want to see a movie that's completely different than kills in 2018? Would you want to see something that's more on the lines of a psychological movie? I'm not talking about anything along the lines of rob zombies halloween too. I'm not talking about that I'm talking about something coherent and easy to follow So let me know what you guys think about all that down in the comment section below and i'll leave a link to viewerina's tweet in the description as well If you haven't already, of course, make sure you go ahead and subscribe Turn on post notifications You never miss a video in the description.

Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world. Our headlines Protests against Police Brutality in Nigeria met with violent repression Colombian social minga continues to wait for a meeting with President Iván Duque U.S. removes Sudan from terror list Workers' Party of Belgium demands stronger measures to counter COVID crisis In our first story, the popular protests against police brutality in Nigeria, which began earlier this month, face a fresh set of challenges, as armed thugs have been roaming the streets in some provinces The governor of the southern state Edo, Godwin Obaseke, imposed a 24-hour curfew and outlawed the protests after a prison break in Benin City on the morning of Monday Video clips show thugs on a rampage breaking into the prison and freeing inmates A section of protesters, however, has expressed the doubt that the jailbreak was orchestrated in to create an excuse to stop the ensarged protests, which have been going on since October 8th Protesters across Nigeria have been demanding police reforms and the dismantling of the special anti-robbery squad or SARS, which is accused of murder, torture, extortion, and atrocities Leo, a protester from Abuja, told People's Dispatch that the incident took place in a maximum security prison which hasn't had an incident of jailbreak since 1989 He strongly believes that the jailbreak was planned and that the authorities were trying to make it look like the ensarged protesters made it happen Earlier, protesters were camped at the demonstration altar at the central back of Nigeria in the capital city of Abuja, but dispersed by thugs who were armed with sharp weapons and guns 30 to 40 policemen were present in the area, whom the protesters accused of standing by and watching while the incident took place Once the protesters ran for safety from bullets, Leo said that the hired goons burned the truck on which the protesters had mounted their speakers The camp they had set up for the night was also torched One woman protester was physically beaten up and was hospitalized with injuries to her leg Another protester was grazed by a bullet On October 11, the inspector general of police had announced the dissolution of SARS in response to the yearnings of the Nigerian people, according to him His statement, however, added that all officers and men of this unit would be deeply deployed with immediate effect Two days later, the formation of the special weapons and tactics unit was announced This move was widely criticized by protesters as a mere renaming of the unit In our second story, we now move to Colombia where an indigenous minga is awaiting an audience with President Iván Duque On October 6, the indigenous Afro-descendant, president, social and students organizations from southwestern Colombia had held a press conference calling for a social and community minga for the defense of life, territory, democracy and peace This was to begin on October 10 Minga refers to collective voluntary work for the benefit of the community The organizations announced a peaceful march from the Popayan to the city of Kali The march demanded a meeting with President Iván Duque to seek his immediate response to the various issues faced by the communities across the country They invited President Duque to meet them at the San Francisco Plaza in Kali on October 12 In a letter addressed to the head of state, the organizations denounced the resurgence of violence in the territories The letter pointed to the recent rise in massacres, systemic assassination of land defenders and community leaders and forced displacements They also demanded compliance with a peace agreement signed between the former government and the revolutionary armed forces of Colombia, FARC, in Havana in 2016 Citing the government's refusal to respond on October 14, the minga decided to march to the capital city Bogota to meet the president After traveling for three days, more than 7,000 indigenous and black people, presidents and students and women arrived in Bogota on October 18 to demand urgent actions over the spiraling human rights crisis in the country On October 17, ombudsman Carlos Carmago offered to be the mediator for the first meeting with President Duque and the representatives of the minga However, as of today, President Duque is not confirmed where and when he'll be meeting the representatives of the minga With the aim of putting pressure on the government and the president and the national government, the organizations are called for a massive national mobilization for this Wednesday that's tomorrow In our next story on Monday, the president of the United States Donald Trump announced that Sudan will be removed from the list of state-sponsoring terrorism The decision comes after a transitional government in Sudan agreed to pay US$3.35 million as compensation to the victims of terror attacks on US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and on the US ship USS Cole in 2000 Talks over the compensation amount have been ongoing between Sudan and the US since 2018 However, the announcement of the deal before the presidential polls in the US is considered to be part of Trump's attempt to end Israeli isolation in the Middle East region This is also because the US has been pressurizing Arab countries to normalize their relations with Israel for the past couple of months Last month, it mediated normalization deals between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain Might compare the US Secretary of State visited Sudan in August to persuade it to do the same However, Sudan's transitional government led by Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok refused due to the apprehension of popular unrest The compensation is money is supposed to go to the families of American victims killed in the attacks The US had blamed Sudan's Omar al-Bashir government for supporting and sheltering the terrorists and had Sudan on a list of states sponsoring terrorism since 1993 There are three more countries in the US list Syria, Iran and North Korea Though the US president can issue the order for the removal of Sudan from the list for the compensation money to reach the victims families Congress needs to pass legislation The US government had alleged that those responsible for the attacks in which hundreds were killed included a large including a large number of citizens US citizens were operating from Sudan al-Bashir was reposed from power in a popular uprising in Sudan last year The transitional government of Sudan hopes that its removal from the terrorist will boost the country's economic prospects And finally we go to Belgium where last week the workers party of Belgium demanded the government ensure full income for workers in quarantine across the country The proposal was made by party deputy Raul Hadebao in the federal parliament in the wake of rising distress among workers affected by a new spike in COVID-19 The party also demanded more backup funds for the health sector support for workers in food catering restaurants cafes bars and the hotel industry and increased social benefits Belgium has been seeing a sharp spike in COVID-19 infections on October 13th alone Over 10,400 new cases were reported marking the highest daily rise since the outbreak of the pandemic On friday the government reimposed nighttime curfews and ordered the closure of cafes bars and restaurants for the month Their workers party of Belgium deputy germain mugamango Proposed in the valoon parliament on friday the provisioning of an emergency fund to hire 1,000 people in the province Socialist party reform movement a color majority government just rejected a proposal Meanwhile, the deputy prime minister and finance minister of belgium wins and van pittagame Call for a more proportionate contribution from the country's millionaires during the current crisis In this regard workers party has always has been long demanding a concrete proposal for ensuring mandatory and fair tax contributions from the rich That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world Until then keep watching people's dispatch

All right. Good morning. Let's get started today. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks for coming. You know, Monday morning at 9am, always a lot of fun to be in class for both of us. Okay, so in case you missed the email, homework two was sent out and assigned last night, so there's four problems. Going over, first question has to deal with how we decide if a grammar is ambiguous or not in two different ways. The second problem is about computing first sets, which we're going to go over in depth. We're going to see an example of doing that today, but it's just applying the rules that we actually all derived on Wednesday. Then the third problem is doing first sets and follow sets for grammar, and we'll start follow today. Hopefully we'll get into it, so you'll have an idea, and then we'll go into an in-depth example on probably Monday. And then for more regular expressions stuff, because I want you to know, regular expressions are a really important part, so you basically have to, oh, it shouldn't be called text. That's cool. Copy, paste, error. Yeah, basically you want to create a regular expression to that deals with that English string, so you want to translate the English description into a regular expression. Any questions? I looked at your website and there was a lot of text for the homework, but there was no link for it. Or is it just a link to Blackboard? Oh, it's on Blackboard. Okay. Those links, I took the link directly into the Blackboard class for some reason, so yeah, it just links to Blackboard in general. As long as I can get this on Blackboard. Yes, you should be able to. Cool. Any other questions on homework stuff? Midterm in a week. So on Wednesday we'll do a review, so I think probably today or tomorrow I'll release like a practice midterm, and on Wednesday that's what we'll be going over is we'll be doing the practice midterm and then you can ask any questions and that kind of stuff. So the best way to prepare for the midterm is to do this on work, right? Do the practice midterm beforehand, before Wednesday, and then come on Wednesday so we can talk about how you thought about things, if you made some mistakes, we can try and correct them before the midterm on Friday. Are we going to get as far as lexical analysis for the midterm or are we just going to be covering up to essentially what we're going to be covering up to today. Lexical analysis? Yeah, the stuff we covered three weeks ago. Syntax analysis is what we're doing now. So everything up till next Monday will be a fair game. Are we going to get one back? Yes, it'll be graded next week. Any other questions? Lots of heads trying to exist. We haven't covered it in a minute. Okay, today we looked at first sets and we tried to figure out, okay, how to calculate the first sets, right? So we kind of derived from using examples. We took the examples and we derived kind of general rules for how to calculate the first set. So let's kind of regroup here. So what is, you know, what is the first set or first function? What is this function? What does it take in? What does it return? It takes in a string and returns the first character. It takes in a string and returns the first character. You need to be more specific. A string of what? A string of characters? A string of, yeah. Grammar symbols, which would be terminals, non-terminals, or epsilons? Yeah, so a string of grammar symbols, right? So that's what the epsilon or the alpha here represents, right? So we have terminals, non-terminals, and epsilons, right? So a sequence, so a string is a sequence, so a sequence of any of those, yeah. So what does it return then? Somebody else? Say it again? Set of possible terminals are tokened. Perfect, yeah. The set of possible terminals that this alpha strings that that alpha generates starts with, exactly. Cool. So the way to think about this, so the way, so what we're going to do is we're actually going to try to think about this as an algorithm, right? So we've generated some rules and now we want to think about how to use these rules to compute, right? And to be able to compute this first set for any grammar that you give us, we can calculate the first sets of any grammar in a simple set. So first returns a set containing tokens or terminals. For this, since we're talking about context-free grammars, we'll just talk about terminals, but the tokens helps us remind us why we're doing this, right? Because they are tokens in parsing. But context-free grammars are general, you know, general concepts. So important things. Okay, so actually, so I guess we took back my terminals and epsilon, right? So we're going to meet epsilon in first sets, right? But no non-terminals. If you have any non-terminals in your first set, you've done something horribly wrong. Okay, so usually when we talk about first sets, we want to calculate the first set for every non-terminal in our grammar, right, just like we saw. Because that'll help us differentiate between the rules, right? So what we're doing is we're trying to say, hey, if we can calculate this beforehand, then when we write our parser, we know that if I can determine between two rules just based on one character, then I can do a predictive parser that's very efficient and can create these parseries. So we're going to first start out with, we're going to say the first set of every non-terminal is the empty set. So this is our base case, this is how we start. So we say, so for example, you know, homework's midterms, right? So if we say, okay, calculate the first sets of this grammar, your first step is, so when we say calculate the first sets, we mean the first sets of all the non-terminals, right? So for every non-terminal in your grammar, you're going to say the first set of that is the empty set. Then you just apply the following, the five rules, right, that we derive, you're going to apply these rules over and over until what we'll see nothing changes, where you can't, they don't change any of our current definitions of the first sets. So what was the first rule that we derived? Yeah. The first of x is the set containing x, if it only if x is a terminal? Yeah, right. So we say, hey, the first set of any terminal is the second containing that terminal, right? So then what was the second case? Yeah, first of the empty set is the second containing the empty string, right? What's the empty string called? Epsilon, yeah, good. So yeah, so the first of epsilon is the second containing epsilon, right? So why are these, why do we have these two rules? Why don't they just one? Because epsilon is special, yeah, because epsilon is not a terminal, I mean, right, it's not necessarily a terminal, just like maybe a book copy of myself. What happens when you forget your copy mug? I think I forgot it in my other class or something, I don't know, I don't know where it is, this is not it. I had to leave early to make sure I got coffee, otherwise we would have a terrible class today. All right, if we have a terrible class anyway, I'm sorry. Okay, so what was our next rule? What did our next rule have to deal with? What was the intuition behind the next rule, right? These are kind of, so if you think about, this is a recursive definition, right, these are the base cases. So when you break everything down, you're going to get just a terminal or an epsilon, right? So what is, what did the next rule deal with? Yeah. Our next, our next rule dealt with removing epsilon from something that epsilon could not be the first of. Correct, so, but what did it apply to? So what were we looking at? So for a terminal, so we did terminals, we did epsilons, right? So what's kind of left? Not terminals. Yeah, yeah, right? That's the third of the grammar symbols, right? So we're taking care of this case, the two cases, and we take care of the third. So we basically derived the rule and we showed ourselves that, hey, if we have a rule in the form of a produces b alpha, right? So here, so what, what type of grammar symbol is capital A here? Non-terminal, right? And so how do you know that? It's capitalized, yes, but also it has a rule. Yeah, it's on the left-hand side of the grammar production rule, right? So only non-terminals on the left-hand side, that's how you know that. Okay, great. What's alpha represent? Everything after b. Yeah, everything, all symbols, terminals, non-terminals, epsilon, a sequence of, of symbols. What's b? So it doesn't have to be a non-terminal, so I may change this to beta. I think I changed it back because it was annoying using all the Greek characters, but now that I kind of look at it now, I can see that it's a little confusing. But that b just means whatever symbol is there, terminal, non-terminal, epsilon, whatever. Wouldn't it, because it's, it's, because we were going to say the first of b minus the second containing epsilon, wouldn't have to be some kind of non-terminal? Because it has to contain more than one character. Not necessarily, actually. We can look at that in a bit. Oh, because it could just be, it could be epsilon, it could be just a, it could be just the terminal a, little a. Exactly, yes. And then the fifth rule applies, then you add it back. Cool. Right, so this, all this rule says, so this is complicated, but it says for every production rule, right, I can take, I can calculate the first set of the left-hand side, right, by adding the first symbol on the right-hand side, right, in this case b, taking that, calculating its first set, subtracting epsilon and adding that to the first of a. So before we had equals here, right, we'd say, well the first of a is equal to this. Why don't we kind of add, that's sense. It's kind of, yeah, right? So we're saying union that into it, right? So add those, add the first of b minus epsilon to the first of a. Right, but why isn't it equal? Why aren't we saying equality here? We don't want to overwrite the value. Yeah, there may be multiple rules, right? This, if there's multiple production rules for a, right, when we have the bar, that means two different rules. We have a goes to something or a goes to something else, right? And because both of those rules are possible, we have, we can apply this by adding each of their first symbols to a, right? So this just operates on each rule in isolation, but we want to add them, right? We're trying to build up these first sets. So what happens if b has an, and so we saw that specifically when we just look at this, right, we want to subtract out the epsilon because we don't know what else is left in alpha, right? Just because that the first symbol on the left hand side here produces an epsilon doesn't mean that a has to go to epsilon. It depends on the rest of the symbols in that rule, right? So that's why we subtract and remove epsilon here. So what kind of the next rule deal with at a high level? We're not going to describe it exactly, but what was the intuition behind there? Why do we need more rules? Are we done? The next rule is basically if you have a bunch of different either non-terminals or terminals that all contain epsilon, then you take the very last one, remove that, and add it to the first set away. Yeah, so kind of at a high level, right? We now have to deal with the question, well, what if this b has an epsilon in its first set, right? That means there's some possible combination of rules or applications of b, where b is going to go to nothing, which means that the first of a is going to be whatever the first of alpha is here, right? And so that's what this incredibly complicated looking rule does, but at a high level, it's doing something very simple. It's saying that, okay, if b is zero, if there's whatever number of symbols here, right, here we have b's, or you can think of them as beta as if that helps disassociate the non-terminal, not necessarily non-terminals, right? So if we have, basically we say that there's however many starting symbols that have epsilon in their first sets, we can add the next one after that, first set minus epsilon to a, right? So it says if epsilon is in the first set of b0, b1, b2, all the way up to bi, then I can add the next one's first set. But the important thing to note here is this is a recursive definition that applies for any i, right? So in this example, it would also apply for i as zero, right? There's a first in b0, which means I add the first of b1 minus epsilon to the first of a. And then I check, is there an epsilon in the first of b1? If there is, then I add the first b2 minus epsilon to the first of a. And I keep going until I have to stop when there is the first of epsilon, there is something that epsilon is not in the first of one of those symbols. And then I stop, I don't add any more because I know that those strings have to start with at least that symbol. And so the last case just deals with the situation of what happens if I go all the way through, right? If I can go all the way through all the symbols on the right hand side can produce epsilon, then there's one possible combination of trees and paths where every single symbol is going to produce epsilon, which means that it's going to be the empty string, right? Epsilon, which means that a can also produce epsilon. So that's all that this case says. It says, hey, if I go through every single symbol, terminal, non-terminal, whatever, and I got all the way to the end, then I can add epsilon back to the first of a. But only in that case, right? So does it make sense? Exactly, yes. So three always applies. So this is the thing, right? One always is our base case, two always applies, three also always applies, right? Every single rule is going to have some a goes to b, right? a goes to beta. It's going to have some leftmost symbol. If it's just the one symbol, then this rule will apply, right? All these other rules say, hey, what happens if epsilon is in those symbols? What do I do? So the idea is, well, if epsilon's in b here, then I go to the next one, the next symbol, and then I always add the one after it, and then I check that one. Hey, was epsilon in the first of that? Then I go to the next one, yeah. So what's this testing? What's this operation? It's just set membership, yeah. So saying, is epsilon in this set? Exactly. So yeah, it's just saying, is it one of the elements in this set? So it doesn't have to be exactly epsilon, and that's kind of, it's an important thing because, remember, the first sets are all possible. Strings that that terminal, non-terminal generates, what are the first terminals that it could possibly start with? So if there's some combination that it starts with the empty string, then there's going to be an epsilon in it. So that's what we start calculating. So let's say we have this grammar. S goes to A, B, C, D. A goes to C, D, or little i big A. B goes to little b. C goes to small c, big c, or epsilon, and D goes to little d, big d, or epsilon. So it's the fact that this is more complicated than what we've done, changed what we do, and we do the rules, we apply the rules just as we have them to this. We can do it if you give me or I give you, or however you want to think about it, like 20, you know, 20 of these rules with a lot of symbols, you can just do it, it's just applying the rules over and over. So the way I like to do this, and the way to help you make sure you're doing it correctly, and you know when to stop applying these rules, I build a table. So on the left-hand side, I have each of the first sets. So I have at the top the initial state, and then I'm going to put each transition of applying these rules to each of the non-terminals, what happens when I apply those rules, right? So I start them off, my initial condition is all of them are the empty set. Now this is really important because one thing that you're going to be tempted to do, right, this is a recursive definition. So when you go to program this, or when you go to write it, you'll say, okay, this is easy, right? So I calculate the first set of S, which means I have to calculate the first set of A, which means that I recursively go to A, try to calculate the first set of A. Well, the first set of A is either little A or the first of C. So now I've got to go calculate the first set of C, and you get stuck in this recursive hellhole in some sense. And because there can be loops, if you program it like that, you're never going to stop. You're going to keep trying indefinitely to calculate first sets, and your program is going to crash. So this is why we do this in steps, and we precalculate essentially the values. So when we say, on our first go around, we say, okay, I want to calculate the first set of S. So when I say, okay, my rule says I apply the first of A minus epsilon 2, add that to the first of S. Well, what's the first of A? It's right there on the board, standing in the face. No, it's the empty set. Yeah, this is why we start with, it's the empty set. We'll see that everything propagates correctly by continually applying these rules. But this is actually a very important point that will help you not get too far ahead of yourself when you're doing this, right? This is why we precalculate it when I say, what's the first of A? I don't have to look at anything else. All I look at is my table here, and I say, well, currently A is the first of A is the empty set. So that's what I'm going to use. I take the empty set, I subtract epsilon from it, I remove epsilon, there's still the empty set, and I add that to the first of S. So it's the first of S there. So now I'm going to move this out of the way, and we'll put the rules here. So which rule did I just try to apply by calculating the first of S? Which rule? So take rule three, so add the first of A right to the first of S, the first of A minus epsilon, where you said the first of A is empty set. So that's going to be the empty set, right? So now when I calculate, now I calculate the first of A, right? So which of these rules do I look at when trying to calculate the first of A? The production rules. These grammar rules. We'll number them. One, two, three, four, five. Which rules do I look at? Do I look at one? Do I look at two? Do I look at three? Do I look at four? Do I look at five? Do I look at all of them? So rule two doesn't apply currently because- Not rules. Not rules. I don't think about that. We're calculating the first of A, so we kind of know what we want to go to. So which production rules do we look at? Of these production rules. Do we look at this? Do we look at this? Exactly. So we only look at- We're interested in calculating the first of A. We only look at rules where A is on the left-hand side, right? Because our rules, that's the only way we add first sets. Each of those rules says, hey, if there's- To calculate the first set for a left-hand side symbol, check these things on the right-hand side and do these things, right? But that's the way we update. So we can completely forget. We don't have to look at anything else except for that the rule that has A on the left-hand side. Now once I get here, right, how many rules are there of A goes to something? Two. Two. Two, right? That's an important thing. So we're using the bar here but there's really two rules here. So let's take the first rule. A goes to CD. So which of my five rules, my first set rules do I apply? Three. So which one here is the left-most symbol? C? Big C? What's the first set of big C? Empty set. Empty set. Empty set. Yeah. So we take that, subtract it, epsilon from it and add it to the first of A which is still the empty set, right? So do any of the other rules apply? Three still applies a little way. Yeah. So three still applies to little A but just looking at CD, right? So those other rules don't apply because there's not an epsilon in the first of C, right? If there was an epsilon in the first of C I would try to add, I would add the first of D minus epsilon to the first of A but there's no epsilon in the first of C so I'm not going to do that. So that's the only rule that applies. So then let's look at this next rule, right? So applying rule three to the next rule, which of these symbols is matches to our V or our beta in our rule? Little A? Yeah. So what's the first set of little A? Little A. That's but how do you know it's not in any of these? It's rule one. Rule one. Yes. Right. So rule one says, hey, the first set of little A is big is the second containing little A and so we take little A and we subtract epsilon from it, right, which is the second containing little A and we add that to the first of A. So after applying this we have the first of A here, right? So hopefully part of the thing that you should kind of be seeing and start to, right, is before when we tried to calculate the first of S we used the first of A as the empty set, right? But next time when we go through again we're going to use this set that contains A, right? So this is how our values are going to propagate through. So quick question for you. So the reason why we didn't, so you're saying we went over big C and big D, right, for the first of A but then the reason we didn't choose any elements from those from their first set is because their first set is the empty set, right? Exactly. We did. We still perform the calculation. Yeah, so this is what gets you, right? So algorithmically when you write this as a program, right, you just take whatever's in the first of C that you've calculated, you subtract epsilon from it and you add it to that, right? You're just doing set unions so you can do that with the empty set and it doesn't change. So based off of that if we would have pretty much computed first of C or first of D first and then first of A, it would have been, for example, little c. Exactly, yes. But we haven't got, we haven't, yeah, you can actually do these rules in any order. You just keep applying them and we'll look at the condition of when you stop when one column is exactly the same as the other column. So when you've gone through, applied all the rules to all the non-terminals and there's no changes, that's when you stop. Why are you subtracting epsilon from c? Like how come you're not looking at little c yet? Here? Like, you know how you looked at the first of big C? Yes. And then you said, yeah, you used to correct epsilon. Correct. So what's the first of, so with the first of C? Oh, okay, I got you. Yeah, so you got to use these values, right? And this makes it simpler, right? So you can, at every step of this, uh-oh. Oh no, there's actually still a copy, I don't know if I should. Consider floor copy, if the copy was going in, I think it's fine. I'm going to drink it, so it doesn't get me too much. That's weird, but actually, it's about half full still. All right, that's cool. I blame the questions. Just kidding. All right, okay, so one horrible, horrible accident today. All right, so what was the question? I just got it. You didn't get to do it. Okay, cool. At least I'll do it in this mode. All right, perfect. Okay, so now I want to calculate the first of B. Right, so then which rule do we apply? B's rule? Rule three first, right? We apply rule three. So what's the leftmost symbol of the rule B goes to little b? Little b? Little b, right? So what's the first set of little b? The second containing b, right? So we take the second containing b, we subtract epsilon from it, and then we add that to the first set of big b. Yeah. So you're saying you always apply rule three because I thought it was only if it's like two similar? Alpha is a sequence, a sequence can be zero, right? Oh, okay. Exactly, yeah. So that's the other trick. That's why you only look at that symbol. So it just means you don't have to special case any rules for anything like that. You always take the leftmost symbol even if there's only one symbol. Kind of when we talk about leftmost derivations and rightmost derivations, right? If there's only one, it's both leftmost and rightmost. Right, so then we get the first set of b is the second containing little b. Then we want to calculate the first set of c. Right, so how many rules do we look at here? Or which, which of these production rules do we look at? The rule three. Morse? Three. Yeah, c. Which production rule? The one that has the c. One that has c on the left hand side. Yeah, that's the important thing. Keep it getting right. Production rules. Production rules, first set of rules, I know. Kind of realized that as I said it. Okay, then we have, oh thank you. It's very nice. So now we want to calculate the first set of c. So what is the first set? So we look at the first rule, right? Big c goes to little c, big c. And then we take the, so which rule do we apply then? We take the little c. One, two, three. Rule three, right? So which of these symbols do we want to take the first set of? Big c or little c? Big c, little c. Little c, right? And so the first set of little c is? Little c, little c. Little c, we add that there, right? So we get the set containing little c. And then what about the next rule? We do the epsilon. So it's actually a tricky one. So this gets back into precisely applying these rules, right? So let's see if we can actually precisely apply these rules here in this case. So we have c goes to epsilon, right? Which rule do we apply? Rule three, right? We always apply to rule three, right? So we're trying to calculate the first set of c, right? And we say, okay, then we take the first set of the leftmost symbol. So what's the leftmost symbol here? Epsilon. Yeah, so what's the first set of epsilon? How do you know? Rule two, right? Epsilon. But what does rule three say that we add to the first set of c? Yeah, the first set of the leftmost symbol minus epsilon. So what's the second containing epsilon minus epsilon? The empty set. The empty set. So then we add the empty set to c, right? But, so we just applied rule three, right? Does rule four apply? Let's think about that. When would rule four apply? If epsilon is in the first of b, zero, etc., etc., then essentially it's saying that for all b of n, if epsilon is in b of n, then you check the first of epsilon b of n plus one. You don't check, you add it always. Yeah, that's good. The fourth rule, if we have to reply to the first of little c in this case, what about the next one? It would have for the other rule, right? But we're looking at the second rule here of epsilon, right? So, okay, the first thing to ask yourself for a question for number four, right, is is there an epsilon in the first set of the leftmost symbol? We just computed that. It definitely is. So then rule four says, okay, then you can add the next symbol to the first set of a. Is there a symbol? No. Yeah, so we can't add anything, right? So that rule four doesn't apply because we can't add anything after the epsilon. But what does rule five say? Epsilon still counts. Add it back in. Right. Well, so rule five says, right, if there's an epsilon in every single one of the symbols, then add epsilon to the first of c. So does that rule apply here? Yeah, we have one symbol on the right-hand side. Is epsilon in the first set of that symbol? Right. So then we can add, then we add epsilon to the first set of c. So take epsilon out and add it back in. Yes. So this is a, so obviously when you're looking at this, when you have c goes to epsilon, you know you can add epsilon to c, right? So you don't have to go over all of this rigmarole. But this is showing you that the rules are consistent. And if you, and this is how your program should work, right? So you don't have to special case epsilon at all. You just apply these rules over and over again, right? So you have a fifth rule that checks, hey, is there epsilon in the first set of all these symbols? If so, then add the second containing epsilon. So that's what actually propagates this. That was an important point I wanted to make, yeah. So how do you know it'll apply to the third rule instead of the second rule when you're checking c there? Because I'm trying to calculate the first set of big c, right? The first rule only applies to terminals. Is big c a terminal? No. And then the second rule applies to just epsilon. Is big c epsilon? No. No. So I know I have to start with rule three. Because rule three always applies to any non-terminal. Okay, because it has the or symbol that means that you have to apply rule three essentially. The or symbol just means that there's another rule. So I could write this as c goes to little c, big c. And I can have a new line and have another rule that says big c goes to epsilon. That's exactly the same. So it'd be the same thing if you have, if you got rid of this and just had c goes to epsilon. So you first have to apply rule three. And then by applying that, you apply rule two, right? To say, okay, what is the first set of the leftmost symbol? Well, in this case, it's clear, it's epsilon. Then you actually remove it and don't add it until you apply rule five. I'm hoping this will help on programming, right? That's why we want to talk about this and think about this as mechanically applying these basic operations. Okay. So that's the first set of d. What we can do a little bit of. It's going to have d and epsilon. d and epsilon, right? Yeah. So applying this to the, this rule, we take the leftmost symbol, right? Rule three says we take the leftmost symbol and then rule one says, well, that first of that symbol is the second painting d. We add that to big d. And then we do this exact same thing we did with epsilon. So we're going to get epsilon in here. Cool. So the question we have to ask ourselves, we've gone through all of the non-terminals here. So are we done? Can we stop and say these are the first sets? We've calculated it. We're done. Let's go home. No, because things have changed. Yeah. Right. That's how we know we're done. When two of these columns are identical, right? Are these columns identical? Well, we made a change, right? So we have to do it again. We apply these rules over again. So calculate the first of s. Which of these grammar rules do I look at? One through five. One. Yeah. Only one because I'm just looking at the first of s. And then which rule do I apply? Rule three. So I add the first of what to what? First of a. First of a to the first of s. The first of a minus epsilon to the first of s. Yeah, exactly. Which is going to be what? A. Little a. Little a. The second containing a. Yeah. Cool. Now I take first of a, right? I want to calculate the first of a, right? So I take, so I look at this rule first, right? A goes to big C, big D. So I'm going to add which symbol here? So which am I, so I'm going to apply this rule, right? So which do I try to calculate? First of C. The first of big C, right? And so what's the first of C? C epsilon, right? Yeah, we got it right here. This is where we look, right? We don't even have to, we don't look at the rules. We don't have to look at anything except for this table that we've created to say, okay, last time we did it, the latest value is C epsilon, right? We don't want to use this value, right? This is an old value. The empty set is an old value, right? We want to use the new value. Okay. So when I say, okay, so what, by applying rule three, what do I add to the first of A? Little C. Little C. Yeah, so right now the first of A is going to be the second taking A and C, right? Little A, little C. I specifically don't have epsilon, even though epsilon is in the first of C because they're, I'm subtracting it out, right? Cool. So do any of the other rules apply? Yeah, the A, the little A. The fifth one, maybe. The fifth one, you only go, wow. Isn't it because, because that first contained at the end, an epsilon, so you would add it back in, right? Or am I not understanding that correctly? The rule is, the rule is correct. Okay, so these are, there's two different things, right? There's the mathematical rules, which we can apply in any order. And as long as we apply them all correctly, we'll get the right answer. So we can't actually apply rule five. So what does rule five say? Well, the first sets. Yeah, so how do I actually calculate that here? What are the conditions here? How do I know if that applies? C and D, what do I look at for C and D? They can both be epsilon. Yeah, so if all of the grammar symbols in this rule, right? So do I look at little A big A? No, no. No, because I'm not even considering that right now. Only focus on this rule, right? So I can say, hey, is there an epsilon in all of the, all of these symbols in their first sets? So what's the answer? Yes. Yes, so yes, I can add an epsilon there. So yeah, we can definitely do that. That's something we can do now. For me, I like to think about it a little bit algorithmically, right? Like, so how am I going to actually compute that? So that's, so I just added the first of S to the first of A, right? So the first of, sorry, I added the first of C minus epsilon to the first of A by applying rule three, right? But I haven't actually gone through and looked at each of the symbols yet, right? So I wouldn't really apply rule five now. What I think about is, does rule four apply? Yes. So what does this mean? How do I apply this to this rule, this production rule? This means if this first of C contained epsilon, then we wanted to use the first of C. So if the first of C contains an epsilon, that's it? Yes. Yeah. Then I add the first of D minus epsilon to the first of A. So what's the first of D minus epsilon? D. The second D. The second containing D. So A now has A, C, and D if we did it in this order, right? And then if there was a symbol after D, then I would say, hey, is epsilon in the first of D? Yeah. Then add the first of whatever comes after it to the first of A, right? But there's nothing after it. And then this is when I do my check, okay, did I go through all the way? Is there epsilon in all of these first sets? Yeah. Then I would, which is yes, right? And then I add epsilon there, right? So now this rule applies rule five. And so I add epsilon in here. So now I know the first of A is ABCD epsilon. We computed the first of A just now. Say it again. So we computed rule three on the first of A, right? So then how do we have an epsilon if we minus the epsilon from the first of C? Right. So we applied rule three. Yeah, and then we took out the epsilon. Then we took out the epsilon. Then we just added C, exactly. Yes, so the first of C doesn't have an epsilon. Correct. So we added, this is where we got the C from. So, yeah, no, I understand where you got the C from. Got it, got it, got it. I'll take it. You got an epsilon. You don't change the first of C. You just add the first of C by itself. Ah, yeah. Yes. So we only add and we're only changing A because we're only looking at that rule A. So yeah, so yeah, that's a good point. So we call, you think of it like a function call, right? We call the first of C. It returns something. And then we take out epsilon from that set without actually changing the first of C. OK. That's a good question. Cool. Yeah. Did we touch that? Did you get it? Yeah, the second. Ah, yes. OK, great. So actually, yeah, so we would apply this. So we actually didn't do that. I kind of skipped over it. That's a good point. But before we're done here, right, we say, OK, we finished with this rule, this production rule. A goes to C, D. But then I got to look at the next rule, right? So which one of my five rules applies to this, my five first-end rules? Three. Three. Right? So I do the same thing I did. I do three. And then I say, OK, add the first of little A to the first of big A. And I know by rule one that the first of A is the second-taining A. So I add that. A is already in there. So sets, right? So sets are just, order doesn't matter. And you can only have one of each element. So if you add A to a second-taining A, right? You still have? Doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't change it. But once again, algorithmically, you would just do that, right? You just apply all these rules as many times as you can for each of these non-terminals. Yeah. For the project where we're going to be programming, this does order matter? No, it shouldn't. If it does, you're doing it wrong. OK. So yeah, no, and that's the nice thing about this. You can just apply these. You can go over these non-terminals in any order. You can apply the rules as long as you're always grabbing the latest first set from here and not trying to recursively calculate it. That's when people get into trouble. OK. So the first set of B, change to rule one. Oh, yeah. Rule three, then rule one, right? So you add B back into there. There's already B in there. Mess to that. So that doesn't change. Then we do C. Same thing, doesn't change. And we do D. No change. So that actually gets into a good point about the question about do we take out epsilon from C, right? So this is another way you can self-check while you're doing this. So think about it this way, right? We're only ever adding things into sets. Every time we apply rules, we're only adding things. So all of these sets should only ever be growing. They should never be shrinking. So if you ever have a step where you've gotten rid of something, you've done something horribly wrong. And then you should go back and re-look at the rules or something, right? So that's another good way to check. So am I done? I want to know what the way is through. I'm not done. We've got to do it again. Do it again. OK, so we do S. So which of our rules do we apply to try to calculate the first of S? Three. So what's the first of A? A, C, D, and epsilon. So do I add A, C, D, epsilon to the first of S? Yeah, C, D. A, C, D, and then subtract epsilon. Right, A, C, D. So I take out epsilon, right? So now the first of S contains A, C, and D. So am I done? Because that set contained epsilon, you're now going to be. Yes, right? That's the important rule. So rule four, right? Rule four says, hey, do I add the first of the next one? And I know I add the first of the next one when the current one, the one I'm looking at, the leftmost one, has epsilon in it. So is epsilon in the first of A? Yes, yes. Yeah, then I add the first of big B there, right? Minus epsilon to the first of A. So my set for the first of S is A, C, D, B. So then do I add the first of C to the first of S? Yeah. Because the set rule four apply again? Because the first of B did not use your epsilon. Yeah, so B does not have an epsilon, so I don't add the first of C, right? That's the important point. That's when I stop. So there's rule five applied? No, right? We didn't reach the end. There's not an epsilon in all of these symbols just in the first one, right? Which kind of makes sense with the intuition of the first sets, right? So S, all the strings that S could possibly generate, A could go to nothing, the mg string, right, epsilon. But B is always going to be a single B, right? So it's not possible for S to generate a string that is empty. There has to be always a little B in there. So when I calculate the first of A, how does my set change? It doesn't change. Doesn't change, right? We have the first of C. We have the first of D. We take an epsilon, then we add it back in, because we went all the way through. Then we add the first of A. And none of that changes. B first of B? First of C? Nope. First of D? Oh, did I stop? Am I done? No, one more time is real. One more time, well, you only know it's one more time, because of the columns. Yes. We've reached the end of the PowerPoint slide, so we know we're done. That's nice, good. So first of S, right? When I calculate the first of S, what's the first thing I do? What do I add to the first of S? The first of A minus epsilon, right? A, C, D. No change. And then I, do I add the first of B? Yes, yeah. Yes, because there's an epsilon in the first of A, so I add the first of B minus epsilon. Do I add the first of C? Nope. Nope. So I stop, there, this one stops, this one stops, this one stops, this one stops. Now they're all the same, so we stop. Now we're all, now the sets are all the same. We've applied all the rules, so now it stops. And it kind of makes sense. If you think about why do we keep doing it until it doesn't change, right? So every time we apply the rules, we're adding something to the sets, right? The sets are always growing, and each of the rules depends on the first set of the other rules. So you keep on going until you don't change anything? Yes, it's called the fixed point, but we won't, we don't have to know that or anything, but in general, in the future, when they talk about theory stuff or fixed point or whatever, this is what it means is you've reached a point where you're applying all these rules, doing all these things, and you're not actually changing the sets or anything. And you know that you're done because, hey, every time I add these rules, I better be adding something to a first set, and all the rules depend on the other rules' first sets. So if I never change anything by correctly applying all the rules, then I know I'm done, right? And you can even, this doesn't mean that you actually, you know, you have to stop here if you wanna do a self-check and do it one more time by applying all those rules. You know, better make sure it stops there. All right, one thing, what if I change this A over here to be A, big A, big D right here on this left-hand side? Would I be able to do that? Or would everything, when I start here, right? I say, when I calculate the, I calculate the first of S, I calculate the first of A. So this C, big C is an A. When I calculate the first, when I try to calculate the first of big A, which rule do I apply? The term like it's epsilon? It's what you do with rule three, right? Rule three? Yeah. Wouldn't actually craft, you could do the first of A minus epsilon and then the first of A could be small A, big A, and then you would just take A. So it would be the same thing, right? Yeah, close. What do we use? So here we have basically A goes to A alpha, right? We add the first of A minus epsilon to the first of A. So do we get an affordable recursive call? We have multiple rules in A, so you just try the other rule. But I already know the first of A, right? The first of A is the empty set. The empty set A. Exactly. So when we see this, we say, hey, the first of A, I just look it up here. It's the empty set. I say empty set minus epsilon. Boom, done. What would you do on the next iteration? On the next iteration, there'll be an A in there, right? Because there's an A here. And so I'll just add in the second painting A minus epsilon to the second painting A. I mean, it's not going to change, right? If you union a set with itself, it doesn't change, right? But the critical thing is this is why you can't do this recursively when you program it, right? The important thing is there's no special case that it's the fact that it's the same, right? Whatever this symbol is that you're trying to calculate here, the first of B, right? You just look it up in the table. So though these rules are recursive, to apply them recursively is not the best program. Yes, absolutely. So you can think about this as like, what's the last scene value of the first of B? So that's what's important to yourself.

The Queen and The U.S.A. Platinum Jubilee Edition
|
Although the United States was born out of revolution against Great Britain, Americans have warmly greeted the reigning British monarch on each of her visits to this country. The Queen and the USA celebrates those ties on the occasion of Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee. Moderated by Daphne Maxwell Reid, authors H. Edward Mann, Ellen M. LeCompt, and Jacques J. Moore, Jr., will describe the queen’s special relationship with America on the anniversary of her 70 years as Queen of England. A book signing will follow the program.

Good afternoon and welcome to the William G. McGowan Theater at the National Archives. Just a reminder that we will be having a book signing following the program up one level in front of the archive shop. So would you please welcome today's panelists. Did we get our microphones turned on by any chance? Are we on? You can hear me? Welcome. I'm Daphne Maxwell Reed and I'll be the moderator today for this lovely book talk. And hopefully you've seen this gorgeous book, or you will by the afternoon. And we're going to talk to three of the authors of the book. There have been a lot of contributions from other folks and we'll talk about that too. But we're going to start with our honcho here, Horace Mann, who will give us a brief idea of why you wrote the book, The Queen and the USA, why you guys put this together. Thank you, Daphne. I was the director of the Federal Commission for Jamestown 2007, which I was responsible for coordinating all the federal activities related to the commemoration of the first permanent English settlement in America. And I was the liaison to Buckingham Palace. And we worked for four or five years with our British friends to work on getting the Queen here. And then once it was committed, it was my responsibility to kind of make sure that she had an enjoyable visit. And in reviewing the archives after everything was over with, I had 10,000 photographs. And I bet a quarter of them were taken between the visit of Queen Elizabeth and President George W. Bush. And so looking at those photographs, 1,500, 2,000 photographs, I said there's a book in here somewhere. And it kept seeing some patterns. It also resonated with the fact that the Queen had come in 1957 for the 350th anniversary of Jamestown. And she had also come to Virginia in 1976 to Charlottesville for the revolution. So there were these patterns, and it was kind of like, you know, we ought to put something out that kind of graphically represents her engagement with the U.S. Now I'll pass this on to Ellen, because Ellen has another version as to how the book got evolved. Well, the way it, I think, really came about. He had this great idea. But the three of us, Chip, who was head of the U.S. Committee, Lord Watson Richmond, who was head of the U.K. Committee, and I, who was delegated to look after the visiting dignitaries after this really wonderful, exciting week, were sitting around and full disclosure, alcohol was involved. And so we were sitting around, we were reviewing how successful the week had been, and sipping some refreshment. And Chip says, you know, we've got this wonderful thing, she's been to Virginia more than any other state, she's been here three times. We should, you know, take these photographs and do a book to commemorate this. And so, you know, that all sounded good to us, and then there was another pouring. And then I piped up, and I said, well, you know, I think we should do all her visits to the United States, the whole country, I think that would be a great idea. Well, we all thought that was really good. And then the wine glasses got topped up, and Lord Watson said, right, I think we need something more substance than pretty pictures, we need essays by Portland people. And so we decided that we would do it, and this was for the Diamond Jubilee 10 years ago. And so the focus of that book were our shared values, democracy, rule of law, language, faith, and so we had some wonderful contributors to that, people who were very important. And so that's how it came about in 2012. And last spring, in 21, spring of 21, our publisher approached us about doing an updated version for the Platinum Jubilee, and we thought that would be a fine idea, and we hadn't even had anything to drink. I haven't neglected to introduce these three wonderful people, so we're going to go back and do that now. This is Horace Mann, and he's a graduate of William and Mary. And he is from Petersburg, Virginia. They're all Virginians, aren't you? All from Richmond. All from Richmond? Well, he's from Petersburg, kind of. And he has held a variety of governmental and political positions, including directing and managing the activities of 37 federal agencies in the innumerable state, local, and foreign groups engaged in the commemorative activities, as he spoke of, while serving as the executive director of Jamestown 400th Commemoration Commission, which I was honored to be a part. He graduated from William and Mary and served on the board of visitors there. And in 2012, he was appointed by Governor Robert McDonald to the State Board of Historic Resources, and he served as the board's chairman. He and his wife live in Richmond, and they have a son, Will, who also lives there. And next, Ms. Ellen Lecombe. Have I spoken it correct? You did it beautifully. Thank you, darling. But I answered anything. She graduated also from the College of William and Mary in 1975 with a degree in international economics. So we'll get to why economics turned into history, but during which time she studied at Christ College in Cambridge. So a commander and the current chancellor of the U.S. Priory of the most venerable order of hospital, of the hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. Do you have this on a plaque? It's referred to sort of working references, the order of St. John, which is the oldest Sylvarek order goes back to the 900 years, and the queen is our sovereign head. Oh, wonderful. She's, for many years, been an active member of the English-speaking Union. And professionally, since 2003, Ellen has been named to the prestigious travel and lead by prestigious travel and leisure magazine as the lady you want to talk to if you want to go to the U.K. And she lives in Richmond. She has two married sons and some granddaughters, four of them. And Jack Moore, my old buddy, born in Quantico, Virginia, graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, and he was commissioned in the U.S. Marines in 1975 and served as an infantry officer, commanding several Marine Corps rifle companies, and twice he was deployed overseas. He moved to Richmond and joined the auto industry in 1990, assuming the management responsibility for the local Cadillac dealership, which his family had acquired in 1986. And in 2000, he added Subaru to that group. He served as chair of the board of directors for the Richmond Forum, a wonderful, wonderful group. If you're ever in Richmond, you should try to find out what's happening at the Richmond Forum. He's a member of the Massey Cancer Society, Cancer Center Advisory Board, and served on the board of directors of the Maymount Foundation, the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls, and a trustee of the Henricus Foundation. More recently, he was appointed a conferee of the Order of St. John by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, some wonderful conferees as well. Our next question, or do you have any reason why you joined in writing this book, Jeff? Well, it was Ellen's fault. She's quite correct that the wine certainly greased the skids for how this was to be done, but in my case, Ellen and Chip handed me a couple of rough drafts and said, you'd look these over and see if there's anything factually wrong or that needs to be adjusted, corrected, changed. And that 15-minute favor turned into a couple of chapters, some history timelines and a dozen or so vignettes about the monarchs that preceded the current queen. So then at that point, Chip just said, well, why don't you just be part of the team since you've gotten your two cents worth? So I sort of backed into this, if you will. But it was still one of those labors of love. So it was a great time, really, really had a fun. How the three of you got together to begin with? The same circles in Richmond and have been involved in philanthropic endeavors and church and things like that. Ellen and I first got to know each other during the visit in 2007. And she was helping to facilitate the British visitors that came here. And then Jack and I met a little bit later than that when his interest came from Polo. Once upon a time, the royal princes, including Prince Charles, were used as a fundraiser, a polo match outside of London. And they went begging for sponsors one year and got me interested thanks to Ellen. And that one thing led to another led to another. Contributors to this book that contributed essays. But a basic question that all of them kind of point to is the relationship and the friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom. Tell me some of the timeline of this relationship and why it is so strong and so important to what's going on politically. Let me give you an answer by way of some what my old history professor used to call cocktail trivia, the kind of thing that when you're a young officer and you have the general's wife looking at you and saying, tell me something interesting. You want to have a better answer than whatever. So with that in mind, the kinds of things that built the relationship. While the pilgrims were hanging out in southern England trying to find the Mayflower, Virginians were electing the first representative government and meeting in the House of Burgesses in Jamestown in 1619. The pilgrims just had a better publicist, if you will. They kind of got away with it. But we have had an interesting relationship with the United Kingdom from the get go. The process of revolution was not simple, but definitive in our case. From their point of view, it was, gee, but India was so much more important. We'll pay more attention to that. Then we had a little bit of a tiff over who was allowed to take sailors off ships that led to a little conflict in 1812. Then the Civil War, where there was a lot of grief. So you may not realize that the United States sued Great Britain in the late 1860s over the issue of Confederate commerce raiders that were built and equipped in English ports. And the International Court awarded damages which the United States collected from Britain over the commerce raiders. Then we have two world wars. We have any number of commercial interests back and forth. So, if you will, the entire relationship between the UK and the United States is really bigger than any one person or any one group of people. That having been said, the current monarch personifies that relationship in so many remarkably interesting ways. She seems to have been around for a while and gotten acquainted with a lot of our presidents. Yes. It's interesting that one queen, 14 presidents. And she started with? Well, she started really with. Herbert Hoover in Turman in 1951. She was just a princess. She was a princess at the time with the Eisenhower administration. Wasn't she before that? Did she meet Hoover as a princess? He was a past president who was invited to the dinner. So yes, she did meet Herbert Hoover. And she's been friendly and visited how many other presidents? 14, you say? 14. 14. The only president she did not meet was Lyndon Johnson. But indirectly had interaction with him because she was not able to come for a state visit because she was expecting a child. Princess Margaret came over and was entertained by President Johnson and his wife quite lavishly in Washington. And so we feel she had personal interactions that were indirectly through her sister who I'm sure went home and filled her in on all the scoop Lady Bird and Lyndon had. Why is the relationship important, the friendship between the United Kingdom and the United States? Well, we share many of the same values, freedom, free markets, liberty, rule of law. And so our embryonic stage was due to British tradition. And then when we separated in 1776, we took a different slant on it. But the way that the Queen enhances that relationship is fascinating because you have people involved in geopolitics who talk about hard diplomacy and soft diplomacy. Hard diplomacy is military and geopolitical policy. Soft policy, soft diplomacy is the way that the people interact. And in this instance, the Queen through knowing 14 presidents has strengthened that relationship that exists because of our founding and because of our shared principles. But she has gone above and beyond helping to facilitate that by being such an incredible representation of the British people. Such an incredible reminder of our history. With 70 years, and you figure America's coming up on its 250th anniversary. This is the one that represents 70 that 250 years. The institutional memory that she presents to us and to presidents is an extremely valuable. She has also been very helpful with our indigenous people. The Virginia Indians. She has, she has. The Queen I think has been a successful monarch because she captains a ship. And one sometimes is heading for the shoals. She doesn't make any drastic course corrections. She does gentle nudges. And she has exhibited this time and again over situations in Britain, but here in the United States. Whenever she would come to visit, they would trot out the Native Americans and so on and so forth. Intending it to be colorful, bright costumes and dancing and so on and so forth. But not at all. From her perspective, she really was interested. And she did her homework. Chief Steve Adkins, who has met with her several times, said, you know, she didn't just do light walk about chit chat. Like, have you been here long and have you come far? No, no, no, no. She asked really solid questions. It was very clear that she had done her homework. And she was very aware that standing next to her was a governor, a senator, someone, of course. And the Virginia Indians had worked for starting 25 years ago, but really hyped up 18 years ago to get federal recognition. They did not have federal recognition, which was important to them for two reasons. One, they wanted their heritage to be acknowledged. And secondly, it made them eligible for healthcare and education and things that they were totally excluded from. So she would ask questions, pointed questions, in front of American officials. Well, just why don't you have healthcare on the reservations? And why can't your students go to higher, you know, school and college and things? And drawing attention to it. And the Virginia Indian tribes are the first to say that her soft diplomacy had a big part of one of them finally getting their federal recognition. In 2018, which was just monumental. Yes, it was monumental. Yes, Jack? I would add to that the perspective that the queen brings to these kinds of issues is unique. Their system is that the queen shall rule, but shall not govern. So she is the head of state, but the prime minister is the head of government. In the United States, our system combines the two in a president. And sometimes you get a winner, sometimes you don't. But most presidents are good at one of the two, but rarely both roles at the same time. The queen sees these sorts of unique issues like the sovereignty of individual Native tribes, or the rights of individual groups of people, in part because as a legacy of empire, the United Kingdom and England, Great Britain have been dealing with these issues for many generations. And I would say she feels that they probably have a better answer, all things being equal than we found. But that's a little bit like horse races. Everybody loves the winners. Nobody remembers the one that came last. Well, I think also just to follow up on that. Virginia, in the beginning, there were treaties between the Native Americans in the colony and the crown. We had a revolution, and many of those treaties were rolled over. The ones with the Virginia Indians were not. They still stand today, and they are recognized by the British government as sovereign nations. So when they go to the United Kingdom, they are afforded all the courtesies and recognition as heads of state. And I will never forget we were at an event that was commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death of Pocahontas, who died in England and is buried there. And there had been a plaque and so on and so forth. And after the plaque dedication, they were to go to the reception. And there was a carriage to take them. But diplomatic protocol in London only had the states ride in the carriage. So in this case, it was his Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester, representing the queen, and the three American Virginia Indian chiefs, because they were royalty. And when they got to the reception, and the first one out was the Duke of Gloucester, because he was a junior, and then out came Chief Ken Adams and Chief Steve Atkins, and last was Chief Anne Richardson of the Rappahannock. And the Duke helped her out and then stepped back and did a head bow, which is how royals greet each other. That is how they are regarded by the monarchy. Not in the United States. But one of the important things, let's kind of review what her visits to Virginia have meant. She came in 1957 for the 350th anniversary. She came in 1976 for the 200th anniversary of the Revolution. She came in 2007. She reminds us of who we are and what kind of values that we share. Because just by her presence, she brings up these questions about, well, we're so similar, but we're different. And why are we different? But I think she does a great job. It's like when you were a child and you visited your grandmother. Your grandmother would tell you stories about, well, you know, when I was a little girl, we did this and we did that. And she comes and she speaks to the importance of rule of law. One of the important things that she said when she was here in 2007 was to paraphrase. She said, remember, when I was here in 1957, there were people that were ignored, that we did not talk about their role or their relationship to the development of the United States. And she was talking about African Americans and Virginia Indians. They were ignored in 1957. And she said, isn't this such a much better place where we're talking about those things? So she's, I'm not sure that everybody in that, everybody who held that title would have been as, would have made those kinds of observations. Astute. Astute observations. Oh, yeah. Can you tell us about one of the presidents and their relationships with Queen Elizabeth? You guys have stories. He has the stories. All right. Tell me. So when she came in 2007, let's see, she came directly from England, landed in Richmond, went to the capital, spoke before the General Assembly, went back to Williamsburg, and then the next day she came to Jamestown. Then she went, probably the highlight for her was she went to the Kentucky Derby because of her love of racehorses. And then so she was at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. And then on Sunday she came to Washington and there was a garden party at the British Embassy up on Mass Ave. And then on Monday she went to an official welcome at the White House and at the, and they had a state dinner. And this is with, this is when George W. Bush was president, the 43rd president. And so he's out and he's welcoming her. And he's talking about her involvement throughout our history. And he said, he slipped up, and I'm paraphrasing here, but he slipped up and he said, and so Your Majesty, you remember when you were here in 1776? And she did this, and he froze. And then he started to smile and he looked at the cameras and he said, she just gave me a look that only a mother could give you. Well, that shows you the camaraderie and the easiness and the give and take. You know, that is an example of the special relationship and how the soft diplomacy works. And then, you know, we have had many, she's been here, how many state visits? Ellen, do we? 16. And then she's been. And also it should be noted that the only private personal vacation she has ever taken outside of the U.K. has been to the United States. With the only country she came to for her own personal private vacation. Where did she go? She went to Kentucky and also to Wyoming. But she really enjoyed horse related. Any other presidents come to mind about a special relationship or a special encounter with the Queen? Well, it's not fair because it's not a president's story. But when I was presented to the Queen, it was as part of a reception. And Lord Watson, who's one of our compatriots in crime here, said, Stand here and don't move. I said, well, now and why? He said, because that door is the one through which her majesty must exit this room. And so if you stand here, she cannot go by without being introduced. Okay, I can do that. So in due time, the Queen came by and we had a pleasant little chat for a second or three. And then her husband, Prince Philip, came in and walked up and said, Another revolting colonial. And I looked up and teased back saying, Well, the last time the Commonwealth of Virginia went into rebellion, it didn't work out quite so well. But we had a amusing little exchange. They left the room and I looked over my left shoulder and realized that I was standing directly in front of a life-sized portrait of King George III and his coronation robes. So it was a bit of an interesting bi-play on several fronts that here I am chatting with the Queen as though she's a long-lost relative and teasing her husband in front of her predecessor who gave away the colonies. I think that she had a really good relationship with the Regans and she visited them. They obviously shared an interest in horses. But she had a personal visit to California to visit them at their ranch. They're poored rain, just torrential rain. But she had a very personal relationship she had established. And not just with the Regans. When I was chatting with Chief Adkins, and he said the thing about her majesty is she's very genuine. When you're talking with her, you're talking with a person and you have this genuine relationship. And I think she established that with all the presidents that she encountered. Some presidents I'm sure that afterwards she would go into the drawing room and giggle with Prince Philip over something or other. But for the most part, whether she'd like them personally or not, she always was very genuine and she didn't put up with any heirs. Some of our presidents tend to be sometimes very taken with their entourage. And their position. A little funny story about that. I think it was when Trump was going over to visit. And the British Embassy here was coordinating that. Obviously working with the State Department to do that. There's a big meeting at Buckingham Palace with all the team members. A friend of mine who was working at the British Embassy told me this story because he was the one at the Embassy in charge of it. So they're here getting their briefing. The security people are going over, this is how it's going to go. And at one point they said, and the Land Rover will go and pick up President Trump from the aircraft with which the Secret Service said, excuse me, we have the beast. His armored limousine that travels with all the presidents. He has the beast and he will be traveling at the beast. And the head of the British groups just looked at me and said, this comes from the top, it will be the Land Rover. It was the Land Rover. It was the Land Rover? Whenever it says it comes from the top, that means Her Majesty. Yes. And she said it will be the Land Rover. And it was the Land Rover. And the President didn't give any grief about it. They don't, they don't. So she makes her, she makes what she prefers to happen known very quietly. But it happens. As we're talking about presidents, I put this photo up. This is, this is taken just minutes after the queen looked at George W. Bush when he made the gaffe about her having been at the revolution. And this photograph came off of the website of the George W. Bush Library and Archives. And I just wanted to say we are here in the National Archives and we're accepting their hospitality and we really appreciate them giving us this opportunity. But if you want to learn more about specific presidents and their relationship to the queen, go on those individual websites because they are a font of knowledge and raw data. As I remember, this picture was on a page where the opening, the president's welcoming remarks were printed verbatim. Also gave a little bit of the schedule. So any background that you want to know, if you want to get into a specific president since Truman and what their relationship was with the queen, I know the folks at the archives would really appreciate you going and delving into it electronically and finding out what, we do have some other photos in the book that we were able to access because of the National Archives. Thank you, National Archives, one more time. I should warn you that if you're tempted to try it the other way around and approach it from the British point of view, the research you're going to find yourself engaged in will remind you a lot more of Alice in Wonderland and drifting into a dark hole because the record keeping is exhaustive but not quite so well documented and outlined. So it's a great deal more like sifting through the haystack in search of that needle where the presidential libraries are a lot more user-friendly. Well, talking about photographs, on the previous edition, the Diamond Jubilee edition, there was a picture of Her Majesty and looking like the queen and behind her we had done something fancy with the flags and all this sort of things. And so we have some friends at Buckingham Palace to whom we had given the book. The friends are very close to Her Majesty. And apparently when this was shown to her, things get by or they don't, she looks at the cover photograph and she says, why don't we call that photograph being taken? Well, of course not. We photoshopped it. But she knew right away that was not an official photograph. She had not seen it before. This is another official photograph that was taken that night of the state dinner with both President Bush's and their wives and Her Majesty and Prince Philip. Thank you. Now, the queen also just had her platinum jubilee and she celebrates these jubilies and we honor those jubilies here in this country. Tell us something about the protocol of a jubilee. We don't have those here. We got parades. We got 4th of July, but we don't have jubilies. Well, jubilies go back to George III. He was the first to have a jubilee and he had to wait 50 years to get it. But essentially a jubilee is a celebration to commemorate the anniversary of a particular event. So there have been jubilies in England since George III and I think it's rather touching that George V, the queen's grandfather, at his silver, 25th jubilee, and he and Queen Mary were in the carriage going down the mound. Everybody's cheering and waving and he turned. He said, I think they liked me. And the queen at her silver jubilee, again the cheering crowds and things, was quite surprised. She said, I had no idea. And it's because they don't regard themselves as being anything special, important. They have a job and they have duty to the people and that's their focus. It's not about them. And for the queen, the jubilies are not about her. It is her way of thanking those and her people who have supported her over the years. And it's a whole different take on that. Each jubilee, I was in England in 77 for the silver and 2002 for the golden and then for 2012, my husband and I were both there and then this time Jack and his wife and Petas and I were there for this platinum. Each one is different. They each have a very, very different feel because when you've been queen for 25 years, it's one thing but when it's 70 years, it's another. This one felt much more like, if it were rocks, I'd say a farewell tour. Saying thank you, thank you to everyone and thank you for 71 to four years, but I'm now going to step back. If she stays not stepping back, what would be the next jubilee? What's after platinum? Coronation, a new king. No, there is actually talk of doing something for the 75th. Would that be her 100th birthday or close to it? Well, when she's been on the throne for 75 years, so five years from now. So there are sort of generally some small talk. I don't think they're going to go too far down that road, but as Chip was saying with 2007, it starts five years ahead. So they are thinking well. Tom, Tom's are going. So what would it be called? That's part of the discussion. Okay. Do we have any questions from the audience that you would like to know? Somebody? Yes, ma'am. Okay, you can go to the microphones in the aisle. Thank you. And tell us who you are and where you're from too. Hi, thank you for a wonderful presentation. I look forward to getting the book. Susan Prokop, Arlington, Virginia. My husband and I have traveled to London a number of times. We're Anglophiles. And curious, never quite found how the British handle in their history museums and all, how they handle the revolution. Can you give some insight to that? Well, the short answer would be that the tomb of General Cornwallis in Westminster is notable because it contains all of his successes. And there's a casual absence of mention that he surrendered at Yorktown. But he still is quite well revered in part because he was a very, very successful general officer other than that minor issue in that colonial place in America. The British are not sensitive to our independence in the sense that we might think. They are, however, protective, if you will, of their own reputation. Inside British history, we were just the first of a number. So we happen to be the ones who were successful the earliest. But don't forget that India, the Caribbean islands, any number of other possessions including Ireland have all had independence subsequently. So if you will, we were the predecessor, but we weren't the last. And so from the British point of view, we're an interesting footnote but not the whole story. It was a bigger deal to us than it was to them. A little anecdote, though, after 9-11, of course, such a tragedy and Her Majesty asked that at the changing of the guards at the palace that in the show of support they would play the Star Spangled Banner. And an American friend of mine worked in London and all the Americans, in times of crisis, you just gravitate to Buckingham Palace. And they'd all gone up to Buckingham Palace. And so they played the Star Spangled Banner and the Americans were all singing along. And so they're walking back to the office and his British colleagues said, so what's with the rockets red glare and bombs? And so who was doing bombs? And the American reference felt kind of awkward. And he kind of mumbled something about, what was that? Who was throwing the bombs at you? And I said, you were. But that's the whole point. To us, it's a big deal to them. It isn't as much. It is, as Jack said, it's a footnote. I'll give you another cute anecdote. When I was a high school student, I happened to be in London part of an exchange trip. I was seated at dinner and next to me in a Singleton's table was a banker out of Boston. We were toasting that it was the 4th of July to Americans in London. Cross from us as an English gentleman finishing his dinner and looks up and says, 4th of July. Oh, yes. The day you all became foreigners. Before we get to any further questions, I'd like to quickly kind of show some of these pictures that we have. We looked at the photos of the bushes. Here is the photo that was taken at Windsor Castle last year with President and Mrs. Biden. This is a photo that was taken in front of the Executive Mansion in Richmond about 40 minutes after the Queen landed in May of 2007 with then Governor and now Senator Tim Kaine. This is a time honored tradition that the Queen, they call them, in America we have a very prosaic term for it. We call it work in the rope line. In England they call the Queen does a walkabout. Here she is doing the walkabout and one of the tricks is that if you are a young student and you have flowers and you're on the front row, you're bound to get the Queen's attention by giving her the flowers. I showed this picture earlier. This is the Queen greeting all of the Chiefs of the Virginia tribes. This is the Queen speaking before the Virginia General Assembly. She went from the Executive Mansion over to the Capitol to make the speech. This is her the next day visiting Jamestown. She visited the ships which frankly Prince Philip was more interested in being an old Navy guy. This is an interpreter showing the Queen the armor that he wore. With Ellen and I both being graduates of the College of William and Mary, there's a strong tie to the royal family. We've had Prince Charles come and visit a couple of times. In both 1957 and 2007, the Queen went by and gave remarks at the college when she was in Williamsburg. This gives you an idea of some of the documentation of her visit. As Jack says, if you want to know more about what's in the book, buy the book. I just chose to show some photos from 2007, but we go all the way back to all of her trips to the United States and have a photo of each of the different visits that she's had. You guys will be signing books in the lobby as soon as we're finished here today. We have been looking back at Queen Elizabeth. Tell us what you think her legacy is for the next generation of monarchs in London. She's, I think, really very keenly aware of her legacy. She has had the opportunity over 70 years to cultivate a personal relationship with the presidents. Her father did, though he only became King when Roosevelt was president, so he only met really two presidents. This is something she feels very important, and she has encouraged both Prince Charles and Prince William and even Prince George has been brought into it, that have a personal dialogue with the presidents. As Chip said, Prince Charles has been here several times. In fact, he and his sister Princess Anne came to the United Washington on their very first solo royal tour. That was during Nixon's administration. Everybody was trying to match him up with Trisha, I think it was, but anyway. Prince William has obviously been here. He's coming again in the fall to Boston where he'll be doing an important event with his Earth Initiative, which is amazing. But there's a wonderful photograph in the book of the Obamas in the sitting room at Kensington Palace, and Prince William is introducing Prince George who's wearing his pajamas and bathrobe to the president of the United States because they know there's so much, the queen has demonstrated how important it is to have those personal relationships and put any politics aside. It's people to people, and we are cousins, and we're family. And just like most families, we like some probably better than others, but we're still there together. And the important thing to remember, and I think this is part of her legacy, is that when the going gets tough, we're there for each other, and that's a very important part of her legacy. Excellent. Are there any other comments you guys would like to make before I ask for more questions? Well, I would. You can all quote me later, and if not forget I said this. But we refer to the Elizabethan age, and we talk about Shakespeare and all the interesting and amazing occurrences of that rain like Spanish Armada and the rise of the English poets that we all labored through in high school. But I think when history takes a look at this era, and it's going to be called another Elizabethan age for English historians, and I say that in part because she represents a transition. Prior to her reign, the world was European centric, and World War II effectively ended that. And then she is crowned queen and has had to shepherd, if you will, the relationship between a reduced status Great Britain and a modern world that accommodates that entity more on the fringe than in the center. And so I think her steadfast identity as the continuity of the monarch managing this nation's relationship in a changing world, I think that legacy is going to play a very, very large part in what is said about her in due time. And in the fullness of time, I honestly believe that this will be described as a second Elizabethan age with good reason. This is an extraordinary woman who has patiently redrawn what the monarchy is, let alone what it does. Not always at her best will, but it is certainly true that she has she has shepherded that that relationship carefully. And I think she deserves a great deal of credit for that. Well, thank you. I'm going to go for a few more questions, and then we'll go to signing this beautiful book. Yes, ma'am. And holler. Go ahead. And all people here in the room are there has been an obsession with the British monarchy, and I think a lot of it. And the first question is, do you think that is because of her majesty that we have been obsessed with the history of the monarchy? And so and then if so, the second part of my question is, will that continue when she's gone? The same obsession that we have now. The question is, the Americans have an obsession with the monarchy, and we think it's because of Queen Elizabeth. But if it's not because of her, what kind of relationship will they have in the coming days? Well, I kind of take a analytical approach having been trained as a political scientist. And I think that part of our interest comes because we're so similar yet so different in some pretty important ways. And one of the ways that we're different is she is an unelected head of government, I mean head of state. She represents the British people and she's not elected. And it at least for me, it provides us with a touchstone to kind of go, well, you can kind of study the dynamics that they have and the dynamics that we have. One of the things that the Brits are very proud about saying is, I love my queen, but I can hate my government. And so there's a, you know, it would be interesting to see with as fractionalized as American politics have been over the past few years, if we had had an unelected head of government, what would that have gotten us? But we don't, and I don't think that we ever will. And so, but it is very fascinating to see how they, how she embodies the best, what they believe is the best of Britain. And it is a source of real pride for them. So I think to answer your question, Michelle, she did an incredible job of reinvigorating the British people in believing in themselves after World War II. And I would say that for the going forward, the next generations, that she has laid a very solid groundwork for that. She has made it very clear she stepped back from the day-to-day work. She's handed all of that off to her children and to her grandson. And he has taken a very active role. And the people of Britain certainly is seen at the Jubilee are very comfortable with that. This Jubilee was a big underlying message of this Jubilee was here is Charles William George. Don't worry, everything's going to be okay. I've taken care of the future. Well, thank you all very much. This gorgeous book is for sale out there in the lobby and have these three wonderful people sign the book for you. There are lots of things in here besides just the history and the pictures. There are essays from some very wonderful people who were associated with all things with the Queen. And I thank you very much for joining us here today. Welcome to where we are. This is great. Have a wonderful day. Signing. Signing.

My voice is gone. My throat is crumbling from this arc. I have been yelling, screaming, getting hype like never before, baby. But ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. My name is Jack the Buster. I, Shinobi. We have episodes 300 in 301 of our One Piece Watcher Day. That's right. We made it to the Big Three Hundo. The last one left off with a pretty fat cliffhanger, so I won't waste much time. It is Zoro versus Kaku, and both are running to brick walls because the other is not going to give up. If you're new to the channel, drop us up and hit that big wood bell, and let's get started. I love when it slows down just like everything cuts out. Leopard! How many attack names can this man come up with? Paper Artie? He's done for my flat Stanley? Oh, no, wait. He got him. All right. Hell yeah. Probably not. You got another form? It doesn't seem like it, yeah. He puts a lot of weight on these six powers. Realistically, he shouldn't be able to win. Yeah, you're right. Yes, that'll smart you how to perform. Oh, he just distracts me. It's like throwing a dodgeball up and then just destroying him with another. You distract to impact. Dr. Giraffe form is growing on me. It's so cool. It was so cheesy of him. It's still kind of his, but... Oh, my gosh. Zoro's going to have to have to pull everything he's got out, baby. Topper fight than Mr. One is a giraffe. I mean, it's four swords. Basically, he's got him on his heels, man. Oh, no. There's no way that Zoro's the only one that doesn't win his fight against CP9. Everybody else is lost. Well, I guess Luchi's is still going, but everybody else is lost. Oh, shoot. Oh. What was that? It like just slapped him in the face. Bro's got like a Ninoro from Hunter, Hunter. Three faces and six arms. What? Even Kaku's a little scared right now. I'm not going to lie. He's hiding it well. Yeah, when Zoro stands still like that. What aura did he see? Oh, my. Oh, my. Baka. What are you guys? Zoro, let's see, baby. Let's see. Nine. Nani? What? What is this? Demon God? Wait, that is terrifying. What the hell? Is he moving so fast that like there's three incarnations of him? Seeing his whole crew, not just Robin. Robin was like the start of it though. Asura? What is the path of Asura? What the fuck is happening? Oh, my God. He won. That's it. But he got one tapped. Zoro? You want to explain this path? Brother? Hello? Apparently everybody in the crew has been keeping stuff from us, man. Luffy with the second gear. Sanji's flaming kick thing. He's firing him. He's firing him. Let's go. He said the thing. And now Zoro is a demon. Yeah, okay. He was looked up to. I thought he was so cool. He is so cool. But he was like a role model. He's fighting with Polly's spirit too. He almost sounds regretful. Yeah, I actually gave him a smile. The key. The key! That's it. All of CP9 except Luffy has been defeated. And everybody popped the hell off. Everybody in their own way. His skirt, he shows up just as Zoro wins. Dude, this entire place is just obliterated. I'm surprised it hasn't fallen. At least one has to open it. Unless there's like some secret key and he just lied. It was all a ruse. Oh, shoot. Okay. There's the last episode. They said 10 minutes until they got to any lobby. Now in anime time, that's typically three to four episodes. Pace. So I think we're good for right now. Do you just survive? Run to Lume. Are they just trying to get out of there? Son of a Gamora! Get him out, baby! Save them! In the name of Elba. Hell yeah. Oh, they're taking Chopper too? Oh my gosh. What? Does she run off of alcohol? Oh my gosh. No wonder she drinks so much. For Frankie and Soda, her it's alcohol. God dang, dude. What even is Zoro anymore, man? Monster. A demon. Literally. God. The gates. So large. I just love the scale of some stuff in One Piece. Like it's so absurd. I love it so much. So overwhelming. And that's the walk. The walk they have to make. And she's going to go kicking and screaming the entire way. The scoreship is already in front of her. Oh my gosh. Oh no, they're coming back up too. He just has to make it there. She has to do everything she can to delay time getting to that gate. The partners that she's lived in. Oh, it's so sad. It's crazy how hard she would just obliterate him if she didn't have to see Prism Cuffs. Oh, shoot. Right, Robin. Right. Bob, we have to do whatever you have to do. You want to live. Was she going to jump? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. She's doing literally everything possible. Damn. This bandam don't know a thing about fighting for what you want. Not just getting a hand to you. God damn, Robin. Come on, Luffy. And we back. I mean this is the only fight that's happening left right now. Like there's nothing else. The rest would just be them trying to get to him. Luchi isn't even in his in his zone form, too. Not going to happen, Captain. I mean, he punched a chapaba didn't work in his iron body. I mean, it kind of did, but Luchi is much stronger. Yeah, I was trying to compare it, too. It hurt him, but not like that. Five times. Okay, that's so cool. The boundary of superhumans. That's why he was the last line of defense. Okay, there you go, Luffy. Fight back, baby. Don't waste any time. None to waste. Second. Let's go, baby. Oh, he ain't playing around anymore. It's no fun in games. Late times over. I think he can genuinely hold him back now. I don't know what's going on. Oh, shoot. No more time to play. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Luffy's going to stop him. Oh, yeah. He's going to start to realize what he's dealing with. Yeah, not anymore, pal. God, better. He's faster than him, bro. How much can he handle? How much can he do? Yeah, he can easily get past now. The gates are open. I hope those are the right keys. But if not, he can still fight off Spandam. I don't think Spandam could even remotely fight Frankie, even with his blade. Oh, my God. Frankie's just going to come in with a fat punch and it's going to feel cathartic. Tell me. He'll have to rip her teeth out if you want to let go. God, the glow on him is so cool. That question is, will it be too much, and will he have to use third gear? I hope, genuinely. I don't want to be that worried, but I want to see it. All right. So, how do I recap that? The fights are done. CP9 is done. Aside from Luchi, the big bad boss at the end. But there's so much to take away from this arc already. All the power-ups, Sanji and Chopper. Zoro, I'm still kind of processing. I still don't know what the hell even happened. It's just madness out here, man. And now, all we have left is the main event, not to mention Buster Call, which could be any day now. Let's get it 301. Is the building falling? Wait, no, the doors are completely open. Oh, shoot. Oh, so the Buster Call is coming. Okay. I figured because they said the HQ is beyond those doors, but I didn't know if there was another base on the outside. Oh, man. They got to run. Pick the fight with the world. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, Mugiwara! Oh, my gosh. It's going to be any time now to see the ships approaching. And they're just going to rain hell down. All right, Luchi, you got to pop off, bro. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's cracking a bit. I've been waiting for this encounter ever since we saw his new form this second year. I'm waiting to see it go up against Luchi. Don't let him stall, Luffy. Just do it. End him. Run, Frankie, run. I want him to run up these stairs and just destroy Spandam, especially because of the personal beef they have and the history they have. Honestly, it makes a lot of sense that Frankie would be the one to get up there. He's just going to tie a rover on her. Oh, my gosh. Come on, Frankie. Oh, no. There's the ship when the guards are going. Oh, no. Aye, aye, aye. It's all bubbling, bro. It's all bubbling. It has been since we got here. It has been since we got the Water 7. No. No! The rat. No. Oh, my gosh. No shot. He literally said, oh, no, Frankie. Oh, no. Dude, Spandam just plays so dirty. They will. You saw how far Luffy came. Are you serious? I mean, the fact that they got that far anyways, though, it's like a permanent scar. Giant. Is he talking about salt? It's on the wall. Jaguar salt. Jaguar diesel. So that was when he was an admiral and when Alkegi was an admiral. So he knows everything. It was Alkegi, right? He was there. Spandine his dad? Oh, my gosh. No shot. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, his dad just has about as much respect for me as he does. Oh, man. Spandine. The whole Span family is just trash. I kind of see the disgusting resemblance now. Honestly, Spandam is even more of a loser than Spandine, but we've also seen more of him. Stop. Stop. I'm getting flashbacks, bro. Don't do this to me. I'm just going to look down. Yeah, see the trash can resin once. The one survivor. It was because of Alkegi that she survived. Okay, dude. Give me throw up. World peace. Poetic. Global horror has continued until now to find the last survivor. God, Saul. Oh, my God. She's bleeding? Oh, no. I'm mine. Oh, the key's too. She's like... Frankie? No. Just say you're so terrified. You loser. Oh, she's passing under. Well, I'm going to pass out. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Even is hurt in a lame way. What do you get, like, sniped? From who? It's like insanely far range. Is it Sogekin? No shot. We're getting roll. Is Uso just popping off? It was like lasers. They're fighting for her. Stop doing this! You can shoot her. Oh, my gosh. Oh, no. I mean, if she gets far enough, maybe? I'll boost up. What, a gig and chat? Oh, my... Yes, sir! Oh, my God, he looks so sick. Cutiflam. Come in. A red cloth bundle? Did he shoot it over? Shoot every key. Oh, shoot. Oh, my God. Hurry. Wait. Oh, no. They're not... Did he not think they were the real keys? She's free. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. He's insufferable, man. Look at that transponder. He looks so proud of himself. Oh, my God. Robin's unleashed, bro. Oh, my God. It has to feel so good. It's cathartic. I would literally do it until he was unconscious. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Dude. He's so proud of himself. As he should be. What? What was that? Oh, my God. They're here. Dog, how did that episode, like, break me in the span of, like, 20 seconds? That was like a sucker punch, man. I mean, that backstory already made me cry once. But that didn't even build up. Like, it just happened. Maybe it's just, like, the high emotions of, like, the entire arc and everything that's happened thus far, because it's been a lot, man. I don't even know genuinely how much longer the arc is. I'm pretty sure we still have, like, 30 or 40 episodes. I don't know the exact number. Oh, my gosh. I feel like we're just getting started to an extent, and it's exhausting, but I've been enjoying the hell out of it, and I hope you guys have been able to tell, because it's so good. It's just so good. All the fights with CB9 were done so well and so efficiently. They stayed there welcome, really. It got to display all the crew, and now we're really in apocalypse mode with the Buster call arriving, and I just, dude, I just don't know what's gonna happen. Guys, that's been it for episodes 300 and 301 of our One Piece Watch. So do drop us up on the channel if you are new, and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace, peace.

kind of very well I like how the guys look and laugh I wish you'd do that in the cockpit what's up everybody welcome back to the channel I'm Evil Rabbit here on Forza Motorsports 7 so I decided to hop on Forza Motorsports 7 because we got a car pack release to us right now we're just staring at that beautiful Forza edition BMW and that basically a Kevlar carbon paint scheme with the energy innovations logos of course we're rocking that new Totino's pizza rolls driver's gear so like I said we did get new cars so we're gonna try those cars out today and see how they drive have a little fun with them we're just gonna do a random we're gonna go track the track so we're just gonna continue next track but we're just gonna you know go from where they give us so we'll start in Long Beach so the car packs was pretty good some of the cars are really good some of the cars are not so much like I would expect to be in a motorsports game but I forgot to turn drive cars off so like I said we're gonna take a look at those cars here so the first one was this 2017 four-door alpha we're gonna give this a shot rip this around the track and see how this thing drives and or drifts because you know we'll try and drift it at some point in today's episode this thing sounds pretty cool because it's already turboed so we're gonna rip this thing around try and drive it in a grip situation and probably end up sliding it also we go I have been getting a lot used to third person more than I have been before so I am enjoying third person too because the sounds are a lot different outside first impressions on this car though sounds good it's got a nice lot of crackle to it whoa they already wants to get sideways just easing into that throttle like I said it was some good cars like this is one of the cars I expect to drive some from the car pack you guys got the car pack with the car pass let me know what you guys think about the cars in the car pack this thing just wants to get sideways so of course you know we're gonna rip this thing sideways there we go well not into the wall but into the wall didn't want to crack it but we already wrecked it we're gonna try and throw it in this turn it definitely oversteers that's for sure definitely want to do a build up on this car for sure this thing seems like it would be a lot of fun oh we just missed the tire barrier we're good alright so this this alpha is definitely on the top of the list for fun cars to drive right now we're hitting that section that form the D drives in a long beach we're not gonna make that turn I don't know how we did we're gonna rip this sideways just a tap on the wall cracking the tail light we're good wow that thing actually handles really well wow so we uh we just cracked our tail light with that little wall tap but we're good this thing is a lot of fun to drive we're gonna rip it in first person in car to get a little feel of it in car right now go brakes on it are actually really good but it does oversteer very much in second gear so if you are in second in this car we'll oversteer if I will be doing a build on this car soon try and run this almost in a grip style right now I was worried about hitting those tires gain control we're good I do like the silver alpha male emblem in the center of that steering wheel kind of reminds me of BMW steering wheel but I don't like the fact that there's the the start stop buttons on the wheel you could probably hit that if you're ripping this car around sideways and grabbing the wheel the wrong way we go this bright orange and red or yellow and red potinos pizza rolls outfit did get that from the codes on you know pizza rolls did get a car too we got Azanda but I was more excited about the driver's gear oh and the fact that I got to eat the pizza rolls but you know so first car in the car pack this thing just wants to get sideways so we're just gonna keep going with it first car in the car pack definitely gonna be a fun car to mess around with I think it's time to switch it up and go to another car next car on the pack is that 2017 fiat 1-2-4 spider a bar this car looks like it's gonna be definitely a lot of fun with it being you know a small little two-door kind of like a Miata in a scent so we're here at Indianapolis motor Speedway in this fiat we're gonna rip it is a top down where's the top up and we got the top down that driver's gear though all right so here we go second car in the car pack not as quick as the first one but I feel like we can still have a lot of fun with this car I think we're gonna send it right away I don't think the power is there to get this thing sideways I mean kind of oh you'd have to throw a lot of into this to get it go sideways on this stock for power like that kind of I mean it slides but power is definitely lacking but I do want to build up this car because I feel like this car would be so much fun with a lot of power stay sideways no the power is not there it's kind of like a stock Miata but I don't think it was meant to go sideways so the car is kind of fun though I do like how it looks to the interior looks like I like the giant screen in the middle that just tells you exactly what you're driving if you did not know what you're driving you're driving the Fiat it handles very well actually it could be because I'm used to coming to these sections in a lot higher speed and then we'll get sideways on you there we go it handles pretty well I don't like the giant reflection of my gloves on the on the window though that'll get rid of it then the gauges are all weird so the second car not not as nice as the first car but this car probably will be a monster if it's built up definitely for sure so I think I think I've had my fun of this car right now a monji down the straight in fifth gear oh and we wrecked it is the Honda 2015 Honda original line Baja trophy truck like I said I'm not sure why they gave us trophy trucks because there is absolutely no off-road but if this is like the other trophy truck I drove this thing might get really sideways oh I feel like you almost have to drive this thing in first person in order to see where you are going we're gonna try and throw this because the other trophy truck I drove was a pretty good drift car so all this thing's a this thing's a brute I mean the turbo sounds cool so it's not like the other trophy truck I drove but we're gonna see we can't get it to slide there we go I feel like there's no places that we could really take this thing off-road because they don't have any off-road tracks so I'm kind of confused why they gave us trophy trucks when there's no off-road or jumps or anything there's no like stadium cross races or anything on those lines but I mean I guess it is kind of fun but I do like the digital dash in the center but like I said this I mean what are we gonna do with this other than just run it around and you know bash people because I feel like this is something people are gonna use in open lobbies for just ramming so this is a session I think we're change cars cuz this is not that entertaining I mean now we're off-road with it but it's just a I mean if you had a lot of friends that built drift trucks that I feel like this would be a fun truck to drive but for in the motorsport game I really don't think that this was a very very good choice to put into the game so that being said we're gonna switch cars next car we got on the dock from our pack was the 1957 Maserati 250F this car looks like it's going to be a lot of fun so we're gonna send this car here in Indianapolis I feel like we're gonna try and grip grip this thing but it's gonna just want to kick sideways those giant exhaust pipes make sure you careful when you get out of that car you don't burn yourself here we go I feel so weird driving this thing brakes are not that great and it it already wants to get sideways because I feel like the traction is not really there but we're gonna send it I feel like these cars didn't have e-brakes back then so it kind of destroys the realism of it but it's definitely fun oh we're gonna go too far no we're not save it wow actually this thing slides kind of very well I like how the guys looking left I wish you do that in the cockpit we get a cockpit look at that very simple woodgrain Maserati wheel trying to run this thing in a grip I mean it grips pretty well for being the age of it a car this thing grips and being how narrow those tires are it does grip I feel like I had a fun racing with this car a couple my buddies and whatnot but I do believe there is a race series that I have to race with this check out those like drums in the front so I will be using this in a racing series things pretty quick don't hit the wall we're gonna try and throw this in extremely hard I don't know how this is gonna work probably owner of this old vintage Maserati's probably not gonna be happy with me but it's not a rental car it's ours to take time and bought all of them to increase my we're gonna miss that turn to increase my car collection level this thing actually just pretty good get a bunch of people in do some vintage drifting this thing just revs I forgot this thing revs almost a 9500 if not 10 grand I think it's 9500 rpm this thing revs soon I keep forgetting that there we go I like the fact there's no brake lights so if somebody in front of you were breaking where these you would not know look at this what get out of here this thing slides so nice to be one of those cars bring into a drift lobby and everybody's like wait what are you doing and then you're just they just walk on them you know get in their doors with you know your big front tires I mean it has the angle to hold itself that suspension is so soft though oh no too much we go all right I'm having a lot of fun with this car this car is fun I mean look at that oh now I want to take this into a drift lobby I said up for another episode though vintage drift lobby all right so definitely this car is a lot of fun to drive niece the 1984 knees on coca-cola bluebird super stallion I stand corrected there might be another car that's a lot of that was a lot of fun in this pack I totally forgot this was in the pack so I'm definitely gonna see how this thing drive all God it sounds amazing and that interior looks mint all this things loud look at that stripped interior is that my boost gauge that is there's a very old boost gauge okay that's that interior is sweet oh I missed it all right we go you know we're gonna try and send this but it's got so much downforce I don't think it's gonna work I did remember seeing something trying to drift this in a drift lobby this is definitely not a drift car this cars sounds good it's pretty it handles very well but it's got that huge front like I'm going to plow the ground splitter in the front of this car you go to turn it the handling oh there goes now it's wants to step out a little bit it wants to drift when I don't want it to it doesn't really have steering angle to be a drift car but it's not meant to be but this car does go when you want it to see how good the we're gonna test the brakes on this car see how good the brakes are 160 100 see wow 165 I bet you this is pretty dang fast for back in the day breaking is good of course I do have ABS on I keep forgetting that but it is alright ABS was on from a mod car for when I was ripping through some of the career so now I know now we're gonna have to grab that Porsche oh wow we actually made that not gonna make that all right time to get the Porsche because I know there is a truck left but I don't know how that car that truck is gonna do that so overall I think my favorite so far is the alpha so far in this car pack next car on the list the 1978 Porsche number 78 Momo 935 slash 7 yep this car is going to be quick and probably sound amazing we're gonna give this thing a rip here oh yeah it sounds sick already oh it's quick take a look inside I love that that tachometer turnings good oh it wants to get loosey on me we go this Porsche sounds so amazing hold that there we go dang that backfire I don't think that backfire came from the exact exhaust tips I could be mistaken but I don't think it did I'm gonna have to wait to see another backfire and see if it does but this car is quick holy cow yeah it's quick let's get I was not paying attention I don't think it came from the center I think it came from on the outsides it handles well though it doesn't really want to get sideways oh there's four that's why it looked like it came weird because there's four exhaust tips on this thing all these things quick there we go coming around see we can grip up this thing grips holy cow are we gonna crack 200 oh yeah we should definitely crack 200 oh my god and it just stops almost on a dime okay this Porsche is gonna be a lot of fun to race it's quick though will it drift though wrong gear not meant to drift I mean I knew it wasn't meant to drift so I think we got one more car in this pack for this episode let's go check out that car or I should I say truck because it's not really a car where are you remember what you were I think you were Toyota yep there you are last car in the car pack we got was a 2016 Land Cruiser our truck so I'm not having any type of feels for this thing because it's it's truck so I mean not expecting much I'm really not sure why they gave us Land Cruisers and I can't see really anything just looks like a Land Cruiser nothing fancy acceleration is super slow and what's the point kind of a disappointment that this car is even in here I mean they could have given us up mouse and it doesn't even drift what is the point of this truck in a motorsport game I could see it being in a horizon I don't really get why they gave it to us in a motorsport but I have no idea but that's it that's car fact a lot of dislikes and likes in the car pack a lot of cool cars like cars and don't like whichever cars you do like let me know down the comment section down below which ones you guys like I prefer that Fiat and the Maserati and the Alfa Romeo definitely do a build probably on that Fiat little two-door convertible well that's gonna do it here for this episode here on Forza Motorsports 7 looking into the car pack we just gotta hope you guys enjoyed this episode I hope you guys enjoying the car pack on some of the cars like I said I'm not sure why there are trucks in motorsports but there is so that's gonna do it I hope you guys enjoyed it you know you can follow me on Facebook Twitter and Instagram all of your file in the description box below until next time guys I like thank you guys for watching I'm EvilRabbit I'm

Berkeley Breathes Life into Native Languages
|
The UC Berkeley Linguistics Department has led the way in the effort to document and preserve California's native languages. The Breath of Life Workshop for California Indian Languages is a biennial workshop designed for California Indians whose languages have no fluent speakers. The goal is for the participants to access, understand, and do research on materials on their languages, and to use them for language revitalization.
With the first linguistics department to be established in North America (in 1901), Berkeley has a rich and distinguished tradition of rigorous linguistic documentation and theoretical innovation, making it an exciting and fulfilling place to carry out linguistic research. Its original mission, due to the anthropologist Alfred Kroeber and the Sanskrit and Dravidian scholar Murray B. Emeneau, was the recording and describing of unwritten languages, especially American Indian languages spoken in California and elsewhere in the United States. The current Department of Linguistics continues this tradition, integrating careful, scholarly documentation with cutting-edge theoretical work in phonetics, phonology and morphology.

There are 40 or 50 languages in California that have no speakers anymore. We decided on this Breath of Life workshop, the conference of California Indians to talk about what is going on with their languages and what they want to happen for their languages. We have among the best collections of California Indian language materials in the world. We invite California Indians to come learn how to access their language, learn what documents exist on their languages in our archives, in our libraries, and so on, how to use those materials to make language lessons for others or to just study and learn language oneself. Breath of Life is exactly that. It's the breath of life. The living words that you carry in your heart, that you want to express through native views, through native feelings cannot be expressed in alternate languages. When you kill a culture or a language, you kill a worldview that might teach you something. Now this word is the word for day, do his, do his. I can say from my own experience, I have learned a great deal more from the Indians than I ever thought I would about how to face life. This is for the future of my people so that the kids that are coming forth and the generations to come, that they'll have something to fall back on and hopefully this will give them a good foundation so that they can be proud of who they are. It's spiritual and it's our ancestors talking to this generation saying, now is the time before it gets lost. I feel more Miwak than I've ever felt in my whole life.

So we're here at the Embedded World 2018 and who are you? I'm Alex Toplinger. I'm the NXP Global Segment Lead for the Industrial Segment for iDotMX applications processors. So the iDotMX 8 was announced like a year or a little bit more ago and there's like different versions of it, right? Yes, that's exactly right. And so we've been announcing different parts of the iDotMX 8 for about a year. This at this event, we have launched the iDotMX 8M. So it's the first one of the iDotMX 8 series that's actually launched and in production, placing orders now. So in the family, we have the three different, in the series, we have the three different families. There's the 8 family, which is the largest one. It's really geared towards graphics and high performance applications, things like vision applications, automotive applications. We also have the iDotMX 8X, the one on the bottom there, which is about a 70% hardware reuse between the 8X and the 8 for similar applications. So you get a scaled down version. And then the 8M, the one in the middle, is the one which we have actually launched now and it's shipping now. And that one is geared very much towards multimedia applications and also some industrial and control and computing applications. So just to check it out quickly, there's actually at this show a bunch of boards being shown with the 8M. So that means it's really shipping. Like it's like available. Yes, available. These are our partners. So about a year ago, we approached all of our very excellent EBS board partners and we invited them. We showed them what we were thinking about for this part and we invited them all to submit their proposals. And so based on the proposals, it was very hard to choose, but we did narrow it down to about eight of the different partners who would be early access and would launch their boards and their solutions the same day that we launched, which was at this event. And right here there's, for example, an interesting looking box like here with the IMX 8M with Q-Box and there's some IMX8 and the X also and a lot of stuff going on right here. And if I was looking over here, there was a IMX8 QM too. That's the Quad Max. The Quad Max. That's the Quad Max. We've got two Cortex A72s for A53s, two GPUs which are with vision extensions. So this guy is a big guy. It's also going to have a DSP inside, multiple display controllers and camera inputs. So it's a very nice processor. So I end on the line. There's another demo right here of this one. So it's high end. It's for maybe let's say self-driving cars or something like that. Well, so 8 Quad Max will most likely appear in the dash of a vehicle and that would be driving both the driver's side. So all of the controls for the driver, the safe side and running something like an RTOS. And on the other side of the processor, same chip, you'd be driving every one of the displays, radios, inputs, taking the cameras for the entire vehicle. So it's doing the infotainment and the safe side of the driver support. And if I just stop over here, I'm just going to check this out right here. There's some other partners that you were working on to release. There was a Technixian, a CompuLab, right here, like this kind of board and a Seco also. So they are like developing boards, right? That's right. And what you're seeing here, we're at the end of the show. So some of the guys have already taken their boards home, unfortunately, but these are boards that are fully functioning and have been launched at this event at the same time. And if I get around here, right here, there's something going on right here. Is this on the M? Yes, this is on the AudenMax 8M Quad. So this is the one that is in production right now. And this demo is actually driving two displays from the 8M Quad. So this guy's playing a 4K video. It's with a full high definition or high dynamic range. And at the same time, it's driving these lovely graphics which were created by our graphics partner, Crank Software. And we also have, I don't know, hiding in the back, there's a microphone there, which is with our partner Snips. And Snips has developed a local voice recognition. So not to the cloud. It's absolutely recognizing key phrases and instructions from the voice. And here at this show, you also launched a new item, like a family for it and a new chip for that, right? Yes, we did announce. Now let me go find that one for you. Hang on. Yeah. There's the family right here. Yeah, oops. So we see the X and the 8. And all the A72s is here. Here's just 35. And here's 53s, a bunch of 53s here. So just to keep an eye, so it's two A72s, four A53s, two M4s, two GPUs with vision extensions and a DSP. And so these are some of the ones you saw in the case. As well here, we have up to four A35s and M4s, the same GPU, basic GPU as in all of these. And a DSP, so that's IDEMX 8X family. This one is also safety-certifiable. It has ECC protection on the DDR3L memory, which means it can be safety-certified up to a sill level three. And that's the first time we've done that in IMX. But that family's been announced but not quite launched yet. It will launch, you know, we'll talk again. And on the 8M, so this is the one that you're looking at in this demo, 8M quad. It's got four A53s running up to 1.5 gigahertz, and then four plus the same GPU that's here. And what this does is allows for a very lot of reuse. You want to start low and move up or start high and move down, you can do that. As well with the new device. Do you want to talk about that one next? Yeah. So that's the, there's a new announcement, new in the M family. Yes. Right here's some intro for that. Right. It's called Mini. 8M Mini, except it really isn't that Mini, to be honest. So, 8M Mini is the same Cortex A53 cores as in the 8M that you're seeing on this demo. And it is the same Cortex M4. It's the same graph, oh no, sorry. It's a smaller graphics processor. That's Mini. But the device itself has higher performance on the RM4s than the already existing device. 14 nanometers. Yeah. So that's the key. The other one is 28 HPC process. So that means a smaller chip. Maybe lower power consumption. Definitely lower power consumption. So this LPC FinFET process is known to have a significant less leakage. And so that makes this part suitable for battery operated handheld applications, for fanless applications and small enclosures. There's quite a lot of interest in this as a computing device as well as a multimedia device. We kept the same audio capabilities on this one exactly as what's on the one you see demoed. Yeah. And so this one we'll also be sampling this year. And this some more information about the Mini. Yeah. So just a little bit on specs. So you can see there'll be a single dual on a quad core, 8503 is up to two gigs. So this process allows us to go faster. The Cortex M4 float will also be faster up to 400. It's the same DDR memory interfaces. So LP, DDR4, DDR4 and DDR3 L at 32 or 16 if you want to. Yep. And all the other kinds of interfaces. But we've also added new in here. We've added a video encoder hardware. So it's a 1080p60, HT64 video encoding. Encoding. Encoding, right? So you can bring in the video encode. And so because it's 14 nanometer, does that make it more expensive or? Ah, good question. Because it's mini but the price might be a little bit higher. The mini is mini. Is mini. The whole goal was to bring down the power consumption, the cost, the size. The cost too. Yeah. Because a smaller die maybe. Well, there's a lot of reasons. We did skin down the GPU. We did take out some pins. We put it in a smaller package. But certainly the FinFET process is very helpful for this. Yes. And how soon is this available? So this is, it will sample this year and it should be production ready in this year and the launch to come. And what's the market for this one? So the markets for all these processors is a very wide range to be honest. So both of the parts here are qualified for both consumer and industrial use. They'll have a temperature range of minus 40 up to 105 for the industrial case. The industrial parts will be in our 10-year longevity program, meaning they will ship for at least 10 years after we launch. And they are supported by Linux and Android on the A-cores and by FreeRTOS on the M-cores. So with that and with all these capabilities, we have customers who are interested for things like over the top set top boxes, a lot of very audio applications for the 8M and the 8M Mini and there's maybe some more coming who get even more efficient at the applications. But we're seeing a high interest in handheld applications for this. Think about things like scanners, radios, phones. So there's a very wide range. All right, so it's going to be busy in the next few months? Yeah, busier. Busier and busier? Yes. It seems to be very busy right now with all the stuff that you're showing this show, all the 8Ms being launched and all the development boards that are going to be available. Yes, yes. Support and open source. Yes. And you provide a GPU, what is the name of your GPU? So the GPU comes from Vera Silicon. It's a VX7000 Lite. And this GPU has four shaders. It has an open CL 1.2 which is great for computing as well as for some vision applications. And it has open GLES 2.0, which is great for driving the graphics processors. And it's open source. Is it open source? Is it an open source driver's foot? So the way that we support our GPUs, I mean, it is something we license from the vendor. And so to a point, I mean, we offer everything you need to be able to light it up, right? There are certain things that we cannot give because that belongs to the vendor in question. But there's a chance that they open source that? I don't know, you'd have to ask them. I just heard that the MX-8 was supporting some, in terms of compared to the Mali GPU, that it would be more open source right here. Can't really comment about that one. That's up to Vera Silicon. But that would be exciting if that happens. Yeah, you should really ask them. All right. Okay.

All right, I think we're live so the So YouTube tells us we do these so infrequently that they change the entire interface every time Between when we do them But hi everyone. Hello Well welcome to our live stream we we crossed the 30,000 Milestone with it was in early November. Yeah mid mid November. I think yeah mid November because we had a surprising big boost in one old video Just after Halloween and it wasn't a Halloween video, you know some of the Halloween video Oh, no, it was a Halloween video. It's true It was a different one that had a bit of a bump leading up to Halloween But the very next day, you know number first number first it stopped getting views unsurprisingly But then another one which was on magic suddenly the YouTube algorithm decided it loved that video and You know within a couple of weeks we had passed 30,000 subscribers As a result of that Which is amazing. Yeah, but then we realized we wanted to do a live stream But it was all happening so fast and it was just leading up to Christmas And we just didn't have time and then by the time we got around to it Which is now we're past 35,000. So thank you to everyone for being here and being part of the the channels Well, they've been around for the whole time or just recently joined us We really appreciate it It's been really exciting to see the numbers go up because it just means we might be able to you know reach more people and talk to more people So really this is just to celebrate that yes To give us an excuse to talk to people So why don't we start we I've got a couple other questions that people have already asked but I see one in the chat So why don't you start with that? All right It's I mean, it's not exactly a question. It's a request Do you want to read it out? Oh, right? So Paulina asked said, please do a collaboration with another channel Focuses on an emology called name explain that would be in country. Love your channel. Thank you so much Yes, I know a names claim. I know I know Patrick So that would be yeah, it is something we've talked about in the past But we haven't sort of gotten our we were so behind on one of our collaborations right now that I Heditate to take on another one because I feel it's bad We are so slow doing the videos That it's it's always a bit of a problem like Patrick is so fast with his he puts them out in such a quick turnaround Yeah, he gets out two three week now Yeah, so he keeps increasing So I feel like we would just be a weight around his neck But but maybe we'll manage to get ourselves together and get in touch. Thanks for the vote of reminder So if you have other questions or you just want to say hi, please go ahead and stick them in the chat I will try to monitor that and pass things on to Mark as we go But in the meantime I'll start with a couple that some people asked ahead of time So f oxford is the username started with what inspired you to start this channel? I Think I was writing blogs at the time and it just seemed to me to be a kind of Dying medium, I guess you know, I wasn't getting a lot of response to the to the blog posts and YouTube was right around then just starting to get big in the area of educational YouTube channels and I thought well, I could do that And I but I wanted to try and focus it a little bit I knew I want to want to talk about all kinds of you know linguistic historical linguistics kind of material and So I thought I wanted to come up with a specific hook That would be something that would be approachable and Popular and intriguing for people to learn a little more about and something that I would have no trouble coming up with You know new topics all the time And so I thought well, I can just do the etymology of words and but but I wanted to do something a little bit more In depth then just give the You know the the pure linguistic, you know more to origin I wanted to treat the history of language more broadly and You know do do a really I want to describe it I guess Think of the word I'm looking for radically a radically Historicized and radically a radical historical concept Contacts for it for the words so that it wasn't just a question of looking at a word in isolation because words don't exist in isolation words are tied to their meanings and they change over time because of lots of you know Changes In in the sort of cultural context So I wanted to sort of tell the the full story of how a word kind of evolves in its meaning over time So I You know that was that was the idea and it's it sort of kind of grew and expanded from you know these What were initially five to seven minute videos to now? hour-long, you know This very you know deep dive into the historical con you know context of The the concepts that these words refer to Yeah, I remember when we used to be really angsty about going over ten minutes and how like could we really do it? Could would that be okay if we made a video that was longer than ten minutes the last Major video you put it was an hour and seven that may have something to do with how our pace of production has slowed down You know might be that by the way, I didn't introduce myself I sort of forgot that you all know mark because mark does the channel and does the videos I'm his wife. My name is even and I help with production and work on them and we do podcast together So if anyone's here from the podcast You'll know me, but otherwise it suddenly realized that I'm just a random person in the picture That's why I say we because he's the face of the channel and the research and the script writer But I do a lot of other stuff all the stuff that isn't you know, that's fun So I'm acting is that here all right is that does that answer that question? And as I said do say hi in the chat if you want to just let us know Who's here because we can tell that there are people here, but we can't Can't see the names So same person asked which video is your favorite? My favorite is always the one I'm currently working on and it's so it it's constantly changing That's one of the things that I kind of discovered as I was working on on this channel is that I would get really obsessed with each new topic and I Why the videos get longer and longer, but I just can't stop myself from doing more and more and more and more research and so I spent a lot of time, you know kind of digging stuff up and I get as I say kind of obsessed with the topic and so that's always my favorite whenever you ask me It's gonna be which is the You know, which is the one I'm working on so right now the video that I'm Currently working on is a collaboration actually that is way overdue from When we said it was going to go out and and entirely my fault. It's not my collaborator fault whatsoever but I Don't even know how to express that clearly enough It does come out. Please. Yeah. He's been so patient with us. Yeah But the script is once again ballooning and there's a lot of neat stuff a lot of neat things in it So I'm looking forward to that. We have this dynamic where he comes out of his office to update me on what he's done That day and he tells me like when the writing is going good. He comes out. He says how many words he's hit and Part of me is you know good you've gotten the flow You're actually doing the work script is getting there and the other part of me is terrified because He always tells me how many words and I say well Have you got through the first section yet of 12 or whatever? Not quite actually and so the numbers just get so the longer it is the longer It's gonna take the post, you know, the actual production work is gonna take I look I find the long videos very very good, but I They do take a lot of time I Think my my favorite video. I'm just gonna say nobody asked me what I'm gonna tell you anyway is clue It's one of the most under Underwatched videos, I think one of our most underwatched it's about the origin of the word clue And I'm only saying that I'm saying that in spite of the fact that I have a voice cameo in it Or a couple voice cameos in it and they're not good cameos, but I really like the the connection with murder mysteries and Ancient myth and and fingerprints, which is all I'll tell you about it, but so that's one of my favorites I Would like to point out that Lisa Has just signed up for your origins of English event. Hey Welcome, so I would like you to now explain what that is. All right Let's pull up the details here so I can Give all the exact information correctly. So there's a new kind of startup company that Started was with last year sometime or earlier than that. I don't know It's yeah, it's fairly new but I don't really know what and I I found out about it So it's called speakeasy and I found out about it from a fellow youtuber Andrew Mark Henry of religion for breakfast and he's been doing these these seminars these online seminars through them And what they do is they organize all the technical stuff the ticketing all of the you know Difficult part and all the all the presenter has to do is you know, write the material and Present the course and it's interactive. They're not just lecturers. They're they're sort of you know workshops or yeah They're done on zoom. So it's it's a two-way You know kind of seminar with a fairly small class with a small class size and lots of interaction So So I thought wow that sounds like a neat thing You know, I could certainly do do come up with with topics for that so This is gonna be my first one. It's called the origins of English learning to think like an etymologist And it runs for four weeks for one-hour sessions starting on March 4th And it will take place at 4 p.m Pacific which is 7 p.m. Eastern and you will have to calculate all the others And basically each week what I'm going to do is Present an etymological puzzle. I'm gonna give you some information some some you know examples you know little clues and Kind of steer you towards solving the this sort of historical linguistic You know conundrum And by which you will then have kind of rediscovered for yourself something that famous Historical linguists have done in the past and so they'll figure out something about the way the etymology works The way that languages are connected And so each week we'll cover a different sort of divided into basically four fundamental principles that that you really need to to understand to to know how etymology works And so we will collectively collaboratively solve these puzzles each week and By the end of it, you'll be thinking a little bit more like an etymologist So yeah, this is our first time. I'm where I say we mark's doing it I'm just promo person but Where you know if it goes well and if people attend and we're able to make it work then we will Hopefully repeat it and maybe make some more courses too. That's the plan and I'm gonna be very like honest here This is these are paid they do cost money. So it's different than the videos You know, we put out the videos in the podcast for free and that will always be true but one of the reasons that It takes so long for us to put out videos is partly because mark has other another job Teaching because you know the videos don't pay for themselves Teaching in a university. Yeah, and There if he could put more time into the videos we would and but to be able to do that they have to pay better and To be able to pay better we have to have more time to put into them So, you know, not to be sordid and talk about money But we understand that not everyone's going to be able to do this these courses because they do cost money and we're sorry about that Hopefully this is just a different venue Well, they'll always be the free material and then this will be this that has to has to cost something do because otherwise It's we can't spend the time on it But we're hoping that those of you who are able to do it will enjoy it and it will give you a different kind of Interaction so yeah, you can oh Go to our website I don't want to put the link in the chat right now, but if you go to alliterative net It's right on the same right there if you're interested and it'll be a small group of people It's the 10 or 12 people. I think this 12 is the limit. So it'll be hopefully fun and I just wanted to note that a couple of other people Mentioned or Andrew said he wanted to go The I don't know if it's if you can't come because of the timing or for other reasons If this works, okay, we will do more at a different time. Yeah. Yeah, so this particular course will be Reoffered and but also new new courses, you know, I played playing around with some other ideas, too so there'll be lots more and Jacob hi Jacob. Yes long-time podcast listener, and I think we've possibly interacted on Twitter before or I've seen your name anyway What video podcast episode did you learn the most creating or took you most in the most unexpected direction as you researched it? I mean they all kind of take me in unexpected directions if they don't you don't do that topic. Yeah Bellini was kind of Surprising and interesting because you know it started off with a cocktail and took me into the world of Renaissance art patronage which you know You know who could have predicted that So that was a surprising one I'm gonna leap in for a moment and say that in some ways this seems like a cop-out, but Our bread episode of our podcast a long time ago. I Knew lots of stuff about bread and it's bread and beer I knew some of it, but there was a whole world of like what ancient beer and bread really were like and how this sort of assumptions I had about how yeast and Brewing and things like that worked were not true So preparing for that podcast I learned some stuff But I actually learned a whole bunch of stuff and conversations that came out afterwards about beer in particular about ancient beer and like thinking about How it differed from modern beer, so I think that's actually one of the ones it's a long time ago now that I learned a lot about All the color ones were good too. Yep Lots of color ones also in terms of unexpected all the the ones that I did on intellectual property So there was you know three is the series of three videos not all done together that sort of spread out in time, but You know each one Takes on a different area of intellectual property one is patents one is copyright and one is trademarks and It wasn't really planned as a series. I just you know started with a word So the first one I started with the word bug and it's very surprisingly took me to the area of You know of patents And after I you know done that one I thought well, you know, I'll keep my eye out You never know if I'll run across a word that could somehow tie into You know one of the other areas intellectual property and you know amazingly I did Yeah speaking of underwatched videos Yeah, I mean not all of them there did some of them are I think the ones actually The ones I really feel have been the least watched that I think were really fascinating where the average episodes Yes, three separate videos on probability math on a lot of math kind of history in there a lot of lots of stuff I didn't know anything about about Insurance and things but again, it's hard to make it's hard to make the word average seem really exceptional Strangely enough and I think was a mistake to divide it into three though at the time it fit our production cycle Yeah, but now it's even the three together are still shorter than many of your videos So fair number of people have seen the first of them, but not the second and third which is too bad anyway So thank you for your question Jacob Lisa also asked if We know Doug Harper from Edam online. We know of Edam online I know of of him I think I may have once or twice chatted with him on his Facebook page, but I don't I don't particularly know him It does fairly important work. Yes. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. It's an amazing Achievement for one individual to have been able to create that because usually dictionary projects are you know, they involve They're usually time-intensive and usually involve a you know, whole team working at it what he's managed to do on you know, basically zero budget and Just within you know him as the only research is Just incredible and that's at him on line For if anybody you don't know it in terms of resources if you have us and I wonder what this word is from that's always the place to go I mean it works very it comes a lot of it comes out of the OED Which is good because the Oxford English Dictionary is you have to pay to access it if you don't have an institutional access and Whereas Edam online is free. He has a Patreon or something he doesn't which we support But it's free and it doesn't always go into as much depth, you know, I mean or whatever, but it it has an amazing amount of resources Andrew I won't read out your nice comment, but thank you very much for I'm glad you've enjoyed the podcast in the channel Very kind words And Yeah, I hope maybe we get to meet you, you know meet you every day I feel much more comfortable saying meet people when we're just gonna talk about online now now that all my interactions with family and friends are The same Hi Dan, I didn't lose out a friend of ours Okay, so Dan asked Did your plural experience on YouTube impact? How do you move to teaching online? If so, how? That's a good question. So just to give you the context I'm sure you all know this but when the pandemic hit our university like most of them pivoted to online. We were given a 12 hours notice to go online. We were told at noon Maybe 14 hours notice. We told a noon on a Thursday that we were gonna be online as a Friday morning So it was very and we had no time off. So yeah Glad yeah, I mean it certainly had it helped me to hit the ground running Absolutely, because I knew that there was already a wealth of material a Really high quality educational material online And so I knew that I could you know lean heavily on that to to kind of supplement the experience Because just hearing you know just having a talking head Lecturing on a screen at you is not great And and so you either want to make sure that you make it very interactive Or you want to if you just need to get information across then you want to have videos that have some, you know decent production values So that they're engaging and interesting so And all the technological side, you know, I was already Ready to go with I had lights Yeah lights microphones We never we've just both used our webcams. We haven't because I you know, they're okay because setting up our Filming camera would be too complicated. But yeah, it did help it did help that up. Well, and I found for instance I immediately pivoted to just doing some really short lectures We only had had a few weeks of class that we had to finish out before and then we've been teaching online this year as well But I in the spring I immediately pivoted to short little tiny lectures Their versions of what I had what's going to do and then giving them a bunch of stuff And I did those and up you uploaded them to YouTube because I knew it would give them a transcript And I knew how to do that so like even very simple things like that My lot of my colleagues didn't know how to do that and why should they but but that was helpful and I for me I was teaching a course this past fall on myth that I had never taught what hadn't taught before in 15 years and I didn't have a tech didn't have a textbook chosen so I chose knowing the YouTube educational space the way I did I was able to actually use a whole bunch of really good short videos to as my Readings for this introductory myth course, which I then recorded lectures around and gave them Supplement of material etc. Etc. But I was able to use that instead of requiring them to buy a textbook Because I knew enough to be able to be confident That there was decent stuff out there and to be able to sort of tell what was decent and what wasn't quite easily And I think that made gave me a lot more comfort. It wasn't even knowing a Ten more than they did it just then my colleagues did it was feeling more comfortable with that This wasn't a scary thing to do. It was okay to let students go on the go on the YouTube and without it You know devolving into horror and if you are looking for you know other good Educational content out there. I can recommend, you know any anyone who is a part of we create edu It's a collective of educational youtubers and you know They're all very dedicated And you know produce high quality stuff. So, you know, there's there's There's channels on you know just about any topic you might be looking for you can find some of it We aren't very good at sort of having a member list of easily available But if you go to you're on Twitter for instance, you go to we create edu on on Twitter There's a list like it that the Twitter has a list of educators and that's some not all of them but a lot of them Well, and they're the playlists Yeah, if you go to the YouTube channel to create edu YouTube channel has a bunch of playlists of people. So yeah, if you're interested in all sorts of topics not just ours Um, all right, I'm I've just realized that we failed utterly to do something important for this live stream Yeah, because night doc night doc door night doc or probably Asked hi watch the videos and listen to the podcast What's been your favorite cocktail paired with the podcast is there a drink you later? That would be perfect for a topic and I've just realized we don't have a drink I think it's because it's only three here and I just quite hadn't moved on to The afternoon but that was mistake. So let's ask about cocktails and then I might run off to Get ourselves a drink Favorite podcast cocktail We've certainly had a bunch that I would never have had Except that their name was rough, you know relevant to a podcast So if you don't listen to the podcast we always if we're just having a chat anyway, if it's just us we Have a cocktail that we pair with the topic and drink that Try it at the beginning Otherwise, there's you know any of the cocktails That I you know looked at the etymology of the name I'm quite fascinated by how cocktails get named And some of those names have really interesting histories. So last year I did video about the the Manhattan cocktail and which also happened to be one of my favorite cocktails and That they made it a really interesting video and I have a bunch of material left over from the research for that And so I'm trying to figure out how to use it But I have easily enough for another, you know big episode about all the other New York boroughs So yeah, there's cocktails named after a bunch of boroughs. Yeah, mm-hmm. I Don't know. I don't know which one I'm trying to I can't remember all of the names Of them because sometimes we really do have to kind of stretch to find the names I wish I had if I had them in front of me, I'd be able to say better I will say that the Americano is was a cocktail that I didn't know before I mean, that's a very straightforward cocktail But I didn't know the Americano before we had it when you did the Manhattan episode Another at the negroni episode right and it's become quite a go-to like I really it's like just as a It's a tall drink with Removing compari and soda and it's just it's very nice. Yeah, if you want a nice refreshing drink to drink and you know Like it's great in the summer, you know, like a hot afternoon, but that isn't too boozy It's it's really good So I'm just gonna keep going because we're we're talking too much and getting very behind Lisa I'm not quite sure how the recording the classes would work I remember something like that coming up with speakeasy, but we'll have to talk to them about how that will work if people aren't able to attend one of the Sessions, but we are gonna run them at different times. So if this particular time, I know but if somebody signed up Someone's already signed up. Yeah, we'll have to find that out. We'll figure that out. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point Thanks, Malik Sam could you do a quick summary for those of us just joining? I'm not sure what a summary of what of where we're at We're just answering questions, but maybe of the speakeasy talk, which is just a series of seminars about the history of English and etymology that's gonna be four courses and Thursdays from March 4th Onward and if you're interested go to our website alliterative.net and it's there's a splash right on the front page That will give you a link to follow up if you're interested in hanging out with Mark and talking about etymology for Thursdays and in March I've already lost. Yes Oh, hi mythology with Mike speaking of videos I used in my classes and another We create edu member. So go check out mythology from mythology Ivan skate Jorgensen Jorgensen to what extent has gene tracing or genealogy helped the linguist or do linguists to primarily use history books It's it certainly has it provided important information. In fact, that's something that I'm kind of working on right now for the this video that I'm working on is I mean, there are many ways that languages can Can spread The the sort of obvious way is my through migration and so that's where having Genetic information can be useful. So if you see a whole population migrating From one one region to another you can assume that they're you know, therefore bringing their language with them But that's not the only way that that language is move So in the case of and so here's a really good test case In Britain It's always been a huge question as to whether the the English language which you know came as a variety of dialects From northern kind of Europe Germanic dialects like the you know Different groups like the angles the Saxons the Jutes and so forth They came to Britain the island of Britain, which was at that point You know, the the main language there was a Celtic language and But it's always been a question as to is this a large-scale migration of people or is this a small Small troop of elites of Warriors who came and basically took over power but not necessarily replace the the population that was already there and Recent genetic information is suggesting and now that in fact there. There probably wasn't a huge migration Because the the genetic Population seems to have been quite stable And so in other words the people who were there the the originally Celtic speakers were absorbed Culturally even though they were not replaced You know in terms of the genetic record So the people of Britain are largely those you know earlier inhabitants But because the Anglo-Saxons Jutes so forth because they came And took over through military force and had a dominant culture the the Celtic language disappeared with very little trace but the You know and and the Germanic based You know languages that became English Kind of took over so yeah Linguists are now more and more looking at genetic information as As an addition to you know the The written you know textual information that survives, but it's useful for periods where there is you know Not a lot of you know surviving text and so if you only have things like you know genetic data to base it on You know, it's better than nothing Yeah, thank you. So this is a gin and tonic made with the metamorphosis indigo gin, so it's What is it called butterfly pea powder or butterfly pea in it? That's the flower PEA Fly pea People are in it and that's it's blue and it turns pink when you add anything with acid in it. So cheers. Cheers All right, let me catch up here Andrew yes, we send us emails and We do answer questions, but very slowly. We're very slow at answering questions on email I'm sorry I think it's partly because we both use the same that email address and therefore think the other person's gonna answer it So, yes, we do happy to get questions by email But I will admit now that it's not the fastest way to get an answer from us But send us things if you're interesting if you're just didn't ask you that stuff No, Dan, I did we did not set the camera up with the bar in the background when we were teaching our classes because I've set mines up so that you can see like just junk in my basement because I feel it's more professional than our bar We have a home bar. It's very nice, but does not feel like it sets the right tone for my classes So Nikos, thank you very much greetings to Greece and Thank you radar For the congratulations Appreciate you being here There are many cool connections just getting avian languages and I think that's one of these kind of under Not not that you never talk about it, but but we haven't done that other than rune We haven't done that many that have sort of focused on some of the Norse and because Scandinavian Connections in the interesting topic to talk more about well, and I studied old Norse as a graduate student So, you know, I love doing Norse related things And it's it's sometimes harder to for you know, unless you know old Norse already To spot the words in English that actually came from old Norse Because you know, it's they're both very closely related old English and old Norse they're both Germanic languages Which means you can find more distant connections between The you know words that go back to a common proto-Germanic root But there are some really interesting words that came into Into English either from old Norse directly or the ones that I really get excited about are the ones that come into English from Norman from from French because of the the influx of vocabulary Into French from the the Normans and then they brought it with them to England So yeah every now and then I run into some of those and I like those And St. Augustine by the way, I said hello from Turkey, which is very impressive Thank you And yes, we're happy to answer like talk about etymologies to I mean we may not be able to answer them in the moment, but you never know Thank You Leland Apparently the The stream wanted to hide the word cocktails in case it was bad. I appreciate them keeping Keeping us safe, but that is entertaining. Thank you. I mean, I am Yeah, Thoran Thurs my mythology with Mike says Thoran Thursday have connections, but that's a bit it for old Norse I mean old Norse is not one of the more commonly studied languages in general so All right. Well, here's that a logical question then all right How did court come to mean an ancient royal advising body a modern legal judgment body and a sort of old-fashioned romantic verb Along with being a zoology term for similar idea Go It's from Latin Let me put this together it probably came through French So I'm guessing there's a lot of Anglo-Norman implications for all of those things What Latin would it would it be from from the Latin word would be Because I'm not actually coming up with that immediately Whatever comes from Hortus court Not sure about that. No, it might it wouldn't come from Hortus. It might come the same thing Now we're gonna watch this in action Grab one of the mini dictionaries and Co-horus that's Yeah, the word co-horus means group of people part of an army Surroundings so a lot of those things are connected with you know Anglo-Norman customs and laws You know and that's that's also presumably the the romantic one as well courtly love Again, that would come from Anglo-Norman because you know the of the French tradition of Love poetry Connected specifically to royal court to royal court. Yeah. Yeah, so do you think that's where the word to court comes from? There's a verb Yeah, we guess so probably that connection through courtly love and then the zoological thing just comes from people the analogy to people That's I mean, I don't think that's hard to figure out the and then the judgment The legal again from from England. So English law is based very heavily on Anglo-Norman law the the existing legal system of the the during the old English period Was pretty thoroughly replaced by Norman legal Institutions So a lot of that vocabulary therefore comes from French from physically from Anglo-Norman French and the important point there is that the royal court was also the place you'd had judgment Yeah, you know when when royalty was also the judges. So that would make sense. I think Yes Consider a collaboration with Jackson Crawford that is somebody else whom we don't know and we need to reach out to at some I watch his channel If you don't know Jackson Crawford he Does he does old Norse stuff? But it has this awesome, you know Western cowboy element cowboy vibe to it, which is really cool. And I think it's it's a really good comparison To to the you know the world of Iceland yeah, he does not he does like language stuff But also sometimes about the sagas and things like that, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's somebody we should if we ever get this one collab done We keep in a list here need Patrick and Jackson Crawford for sure I mean, there's a number of other people I'd love to do collabs with we just Yeah, I think he does talk about mythology too Yes, only members of better myths is hat. Yeah, that's fair enough Why is to be a sublita verb there you go I'm going straight into the linguistics here from King Kingsley And it is in so many languages So this is you know, there's a tell them what a sublita verb So sublita verb is a is a you know an irregular verb that is irregular by virtue of the fact that It's made up of what were initially many different verbs So that you know the the present tense may be from one verb originally and the past tense Could all be forms from a completely different Unrelated verbs so that's why in English you have you know in the present tense is but in the past tense was You know, where did that W come from? Well, it's because they were two different verbs originally But it's even more than that you can have it be sublita even in one tense even in one tense So in in is that true in English is am from a different root than is no, okay? Because that is in in Latin you have that you have the sum and you have the ss and the sumus actually Are they the same? Okay, so it's only the sum is actually it there's a really complicated set of sound changes That I recently I don't know why I was looking looking up Where how that formed and but you can actually do it you can actually run through the Sumis and sunt because I always When I talk to my students s you it's three of them. I see you and then the others are yes Yeah, but it's the s. That's the that's where the root is so it's it's surprising But yeah, they're all but then the past and the the perfect Set of yeah is a different verb. Yeah, yeah, so And you have to be you have the the bear form. It's a different one, too So be yes, it's one verb. Yeah, be and the w forms and the the The vowel the valley ones and so why so why to why is to be like that in so many languages? I mean, it's always hard to answer the why but I think the These I mean we know that these were all separate verbs at one point that were used separately They had similar meanings and I think The reason why is very likely connected to the fact that they are super common words That's where you get these you don't get them with the uncommon words What happens with uncommon words is they have a tendency to regularize. So if you don't use a word very often You're it's harder to remember all the different forms And so you'll you're likely to maybe forget and then just sort of come up with Something that based on the bit that fits the normal pattern just based on what you do remember And so they tend to become more and more regular over time Whereas words that you use a lot Really stick in your memory and so they tend to change very little so You have a tendency therefore for the for the really common ones to to be unusual to be irregular and The common ones to become more and more regular over time I'm not sure you said that's right anyway the uncommon one common ones become more regular the common ones Yes, yes, yes the uncommon ones before become more regulated common ones Maintain their irregularity over time. They're they're resistant to change the podcast Lingthusiasm just recently was talking about this in part. They were really talking the most recent episode was about Imperative the imperative form but they got into a little discussion of Supply to verbs and the verb to be and its irregularities and so many languages that you might find interesting they were talking about how You see this was children in the same way that imperatives tend to be short because we use them to children all the time and so They need to stay simple because there's some of the first forms verb forms that children learn Stop being a really early verb form you use with children for instance sit down stay there Don't touch, you know, they learn those fast and that's why imperatives tend to be short and simple in terms of compared to other Verb forms in a language and then they got into a little side discussion of the verb to be anyway I'd recommend that podcast if you don't know it Lingthusiasm um, all right Let me catch up here the chat keeps getting away from me Um, what can you tell us about your own accents? I've been wondering about that Canadian I'm canada yeah, we're both from Ottawa and so our accents are Canadian just sort of middle of the road Ontario accents, but and I forget that that doesn't sound normal to American ears because American accent sounds so normal to our ears That's about cultural transmission. Yeah, we have a fair amount of Canadian raising in our Our dialect. Yeah And there's and some dialectal variants like uses of words that are either Canadian or British Dan just said that he remembers the first video he watched and Mark said something without in it and I was just like holy He is extremely Canadian. Where's this guy? Yes, Dan is also Canadian. So but It's funny because I again, I tend not to notice it and I tend not to be able to good at spotting other Canadians Did you think I'd be better at but Uh, can you tell Mike the etymology of wicked? Wicked I'm sure probably not just wick Quick look that up I'm thinking right Lisa brings up the good example of regularization that sheared has moved into the space of shorn from to shear a sheep Shorn is it's it's perfectly for fine strong verb, but it's been come regularized to The Oh, it is. Oh, that's interesting. The timeline is also trying to hide a word about the how to comment about the word Shit, so I will show that to everybody close your eyes if you don't want to see the word shit Sorry, go on. Yeah, so wicked is related to which That's pretty straightforward. Um, so which which like which like, yeah Which is itself related. Well, go watch the work the video on Magic no, uh, maybe you talk a bit about in that, but I feel like you talk about it in weird Don't you talk about it in weird? maybe This is the trouble with videos with lots of connections. I think I went into it in more detail in magic though Okay, I feel like maybe we talked about it in the podcast about about weird But no magic. It's in magic for sure I'll look that up. Um, so Ivan asks has the verb shit become a weak verb in canada like in the u.s Or is this still a strong verb requiring minds want to know? Uh, oh, you mean is it shit chat? No, we shit shitted. Yeah, I think it's It's it's become a weak verb. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, nobody says chat anymore Uh, unless they've tried to be very intentionally funny. I think they might do that, but yeah Oh, Lisa's in Toronto. Oh, there you go We're only four hours north of you we're up in Sudbury So that won't mean anything to anyone who's not in canada, but She'll know Um, I've heard language gets simpler over time. This is uh, an elite. I am I've heard language gets simpler over time in vocab and grammar rules Does this Change its expressiveness to people 100 a thousand 2000 2000 years ago have the same amount of expressiveness as us It doesn't necessarily get simpler overall but certain Aspects of language can Have a tendency to become simpler Specifically when you have two language groups in contact Um So, you know that can especially if there's heavy influence from one to the other So for instance english, uh, the the inflectional system of english became You know has gone in this process of becoming simpler and simpler and simpler to the point where we use very few inflections in modern english Meaning the changes of changing the the forms of words now The way that you tell, you know, the grammar in modern english is all about the order you put the words But if you if you have a language in which The the grammar works through changing the forms of the words rather rather than the order of the words You know that requires, uh, a speaker to know all those different forms And so specifically as a result of english coming into heavy contact with old norse because of the scandinavian Settlement in the northern part of england The two languages their roots were very similar because they're closely related germanic languages So you could always kind of tell what the other person was saying, uh, you know in the stem of the word But the endings were all wrong, you know, if they if they spoke the other one Um, and so they just dropped the endings. Um, and started to rely on word order And started to rely more on word order to tell what was going on So there are certain things that do simplify in certain contexts over time now Does that make modern english less expressive than old english? I don't think so, but we have to, uh, express ourselves in different ways yeah, I mean it's an ongoing complicated question and one that's open to I think a lot of, um, sort of, uh Impressionistically good, but not necessarily very rigorous answers where you can sort of feel like Oh, this is more true or that true, you know Um, languages that don't mark for tense does that mean they can't talk about time? Well, no, it doesn't mean that Does it mean it changes the degree to which they do maybe but this is an ongoing like discussion but uh, one of the things I think That I think is interesting is I think it might be a little bit like that study that they've done on language speed So I can't I don't remember the details of that like I can't refer you to the study right now but they've studied a number of different languages where You know some languages the words are really long some white languages the words are really short Some languages you have to say there's a lot of grammatical particles So you have to stick a lot of extra words in to get your grammatical intent across others you don't and therefore you might think that they are Take, you know some some words take longer to say so if you have the same amount of Information to impart it might take longer to get Look like it would take longer to get but they've done studies and said basically the amount of information If you counted it in bits the amount of information you get across In the certain amount of time in most languages is pretty much the same regardless of how different the languages look at If you look if you look at them and in terms of word length or speed of speech or phonemes or any of that Basically the same amount of information is conveyed By a language by its speaker speaking at a normal rate in every language, you know Within some variants. So I suspect that the same sort of thing is true of what we talk about like languages simplify sure but certain elements simplify others will you know our English grammar is much more simple than old English grammar in some ways our range of vocabulary is huge The English language has a vocabulary that an old English speaker couldn't dream of having Now do we need to use every single one of those words? No, but we have a whole bunch of options So, you know, one thing may become simpler another thing may become more complex So I don't I don't know how you quantify it in such a way that you could really do a study the same way but My guess might be that it goes that way Um Oh, here's a question from professor Newman. What do you think about the internet practice of intentional misspelling for humor? Like for example stonks or the weaving numbers into things like le I can't you can't read these things out leet l 3 3 t right or is this the downfall of english as we know it Or is this the downfall of english as we know it or find evolution? This has been going on forever. I mean, uh The word okay comes from a deliberate A joke a deliberate misspelling of the word of the words all correct But spelling it with spelling it as o l and correct starting with a k This happened in the 19th century And it is now become the probably the most widely spread word in the world being borrowed into so many different languages And you know, if you look at Medieval manuscripts the way that they do abbreviations, you know, they do all kinds of things to you know, play with the way that the The word looks on the page often to you know, kind of save space because parchment is expensive So we're we're people are really good at playing with language either for Efficiency or for humor And that will never change Yeah, I personally think that all of those things are just Uh, we always we always I think probably all languages have always done a lot of humorous things And playful things and silly things and in-group things because a lot of this is about expressing in groups So slang develops in part two, you know, so that you can have a commonality with somebody else who has the same interests or Are excluded from the same groups or whatever We've done that orally Forever and ever and ever and the reason And that caused panics and people even at the time you can go back and look at people You know complaining about how everyone's speaking now and how they're ruining the language of things, but I think When it now that our culture the on the internet is such a written culture And there's so much exchange of information and development of identity and development of in-groups and out-groups all of it through the written Language we're using the same instead of treating written speech as this formal Separate language that we have to all learn and do the same way because that's we only use it for really a very restricted number of things Now we're doing we're using written language for everything everything we used to do in We still do it in person too, but that we used to do in an oral speech And so all the same playfulness is happening there But because it's in writing which has always had this sort of important prestige it is Getting up people's noses a lot like it's and it's there you can see it you can point to and say they spelled that wrong They're doing this or whatever And and it's therefore scary or can be seen as as as ruining the language, but I don't think it's I mean if it's ruining the language It's ruining the language in the same way that people stopping speaking Proto-Indo-European and starting to speak a descendant language ruined the language I mean English is a ruined form of proto-Indo-European by that measure People will always complain. I mean that's the thing, you know in the 16th and 17th century People complained about what were called incorn words These are you know kind of learned borrowings from latin and greek that were really they were thought to be needlessly Complex and obscure that perfectly good english word for this. Why would you need a latin word for it? Yeah, yeah And now these are words that are high prestige words And if you use the try to make the if you tried to coin the original english word, which might have been a compound word You'd be treated as as sort of dumbing things down The the really good resource for the internet stuff in particular would be of course Gretchen McCullough's book because internet. So if you're interested in that topic She's written the book a book about internet language called because internet and she does a very good linguistic approach To what's changing and how how it changes and how the changes that are themselves rule-based because languages are always always rule-based That's not a phrase I can say But I would and it's also fun and funny and entertaining and if you're of our age quite nostalgic that the early days of the internet Really brought me back there for a while Right there has some points about swedish grammar that are interesting and we'll catch up with Well, thank you heavy D 6 6 0 0 Reading out user names is always a bit silly. But anyway, thank you. I appreciate it Exactly The stuff about jim says that like seemed people complain about somethings thousands of years ago that we still complain about I mean, yeah, that is such a feature if this is one of the reasons that I like studying the ancient world and the medieval world Is because you see the same cycles go on every time and it gives you a lot more Chill basically when you see them happening now like we've been through this before And yeah, sometimes there are things that happen that are really genuinely bad But a lot of the time it's just people getting upset because it changes and I get that I'm old enough now to find Change upsetting but I try to remember that it isn't necessarily did you want to come say hello? Our son wants to come say hello A bow chat, which I could probably comment in yes, you could. This is our son He also does internet youtube videos sometimes. Yeah, and it's uh, I'm not gonna say his name, but He says hello All right, you're gonna go you can go watch us on the on the live stream. Okay Oh, I'm gonna see myself. Yes, you can and see how terrible my voice is Uh-huh um English has changed my Shakespeare. Yes exactly and you know every by every author who's written in me and um Anything that becomes canonical changes the language even stuff that doesn't has its own effect Like think about how much science fiction has changed language in general But yeah between Shakespeare and the king james uh version of the bible Coming right around the same time. They introduced so many um idioms and words into the popular consciousness whether or not they were You know whether or not Shakespeare invented those words himself or just used a word that was kind of obscure before but he made it famous So, you know between those two sources Shakespeare and you know, you can trace so much to to those two things The king james bible and in Shakespeare though it's as you've said it's a lot of the time It said that he invented a ton of stuff and he did probably no But but a lot of the time it's that that's where it's recorded and that's always a problem We have with knowing where words come from is how much how long they spend in people's mouths before they get written down Uh much less of a problem now because somebody comes up with it and in five seconds. It's on twitter Now, you know So tracking stuff, uh, what was it doom scrolling that like you can track down to almost exactly who said it within You know three weeks of the pandemic starting Uh, oh, here's one. Why is the plural of mouse mice when the plural of houses houses? This is from king king's life Uh, so there are a bunch of what are called a thematic nouns In in english that the uh preserve an older Kind of way of doing plurals, I guess You know tooth teeth Mouse mice and so forth Most of these, you know, there were more of them, uh, though even by old english there weren't a huge number of them Most of them get replaced they get become regularized because of that, you know that pattern of regularization Um, but essentially what's going on there is it's a particular kind of sound change called eye mutation In which we can presume although it is no longer evident in the in the form of the word anymore that at some point In the earlier form of the language there was an eye in the syllable following that vowel that changes And the eye causes uh sounds to either like vowel sounds to either come forward in the mouth or higher in the mouth Um, and so that's the case with mouse mice Uh, tooth teeth they they tend to move from these back vowels these vowels that you pronounce at the back of your mouth To these, you know, ones that are high in front like e I all these these high sounds So does that mean that it was mousey before that the reconstructive form would be mousey or mouse eye something like that Yeah, there would have been an ending there. That makes me happy. Thank you for asking that question because that entertains me Except it would have been moose Details details, you know, old english moosey moosey something like that still pretty darn good And moose is not pluralized as mice Because or moose says meese or anything like that because of course it's not an english word Um So oops things, uh, we'll ask what do you say of hell? I'm not sure You'll have to tell us more what you mean or fate um I'm because i'm catching up with this late if you're commenting on things we said that i've already forgotten them, which is unfortunate, but thank you, danie Thank you for saying hello to our son um, he was Are the only cool cache we ever get with him is because we know some other youtubers that he watches So we have to sort of you know play that for what we can Sarrowly it's our only moment of coolness um Do you think english will ever settle on a word for that strange weird funny feeling one can't quite put a finger on it I don't know you make a make an attempt to make it spread on on twitter make fetch happen Um, how many languages do we speak? Speak is a strong word for languages that have been dead for hundreds of years. So how many languages do you speak? Uh, well, I really I really mainly speak just english Uh, though, you know, I have learned some french Yeah, I would say to speak a tiny amount of japanese I speak english and french. I'm I'm Not bilingual exactly, but I'm pretty fluent in french But read is the question really read it slash can teach Uh, you old english middle english old morris latin Um, and I can fake my way through a few others if I need to Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to count the fake my way throughs because that's just me guessing at romance languages. Um, so I can I can read and teach in latin and greek are the only Other languages that I know Yeah, I mean I can fake my way through some italian if I desperately need to know what it is But only if it's written I can't the you know sound is too hard But I can kind of and you can probably fake your way through some scandinavian if you Various scandinavian languages if you've got them in writing and and a In some time Yeah, I mean I was at the point where I could you know with the dictionary read modern icelandic fairly Comfortably, um You know because all the editions were written in modern icelandic. So the footnotes were modern icelandic right so to understand You really needed the footnotes, you know, if you're like for instance reading skull that poetry Reading skull that poetry unaided is often quite difficult. Um, so the the footnotes are often necessary So I you know got reasonably comfortable reading reading the footnotes Whereas in my field, uh classical texts until very recently were edit that were in latin or greek were edited in Latin Which on the one hand was good because if you were learning latin it was also in latin on the other hand if you're learning latin and the Explanations for things are in latin It can be a little annoying. Um Any idea why the a form of the simple past is disappearing asks noelle Noelle, sorry. Sorry. Noelle. Sorry if I'm getting that wrong Uh sink sank sunk people will just use sunk when we used to say sank Yeah, so that I have to go for a moment. I'll be back. And again, I think it's it's just that um the question of regularization over time I mean a lot of words that that have the the so-called irregular past tenses Lost them completely and and just do their uh past tense with um ed But there's this sort of in between stages where the uh the the past tense and the past participle Kind of one replaces the other and I don't know that there's any specific pattern to to which one gets Gets the uh, you know wins out. Um, yeah, so in that case those sink sank sunk sunk The the past participle has taken over the the role of the um the past tense And there are other words that have done, you know done that too It's it's probably a sign that they're on their way to becoming um, you know, uh a so-called regular Past, you know regular verb with their past tense in ed so maybe in the future we'll be saying synced I don't know hard to say those synced So maybe not but yeah, so that that's that's what happens is you do see the uh the past tense and the past participle Just sort of falling together and one of them will stick and the other one won't And yes, thank you Our son is very nice Uh, whoops, I just scrolled down too far. Um, okay, where are we next? Oh, did I leave you too long? You had to actually do the scrolling yourself Um Okay, uh, Jim I found language isolates fascinating It would be great if you could make some videos about more obscure ones. Yeah, everyone knows about bass, but there were others Make one about korean and see how many comments Yeah, well, we get a lot of comments on our videos telling it and a lot A number of comments on our videos telling us that we're wrong about everything because the origin of all the world's languages is korean It seems to be one of the things out there and I don't want to weigh into you know, what the Whether or not korean is a language isolate, uh or not and the various theories about trying to build a family because I don't know nearly enough about that stuff, but um I'm always fascinated by Sumerian. I know nothing about it, but uh Well, we'll keep that in mind as a as a topic. Um, it's true. There's a bunch of isolated either isolates or Potentially isolates like talking about why people think they are or aren't yeah Like even if you don't get into the specifics of some of the more disputed ones Talking about what that means or what how that could come about where those could how that could work That'd be something interesting Okay, so, uh Have we seen blade have you seen blade runner? Oops, I'm missing um and or the great news as a series the expanse You have have you reflected on their futuristic english influence by spanish and other major languages? I have seen blade runner uh a long time ago. I haven't watched it recently And that was the original and obviously uh, not the the sequel that came out Yeah, um, we haven't watched the expanse. Um, though. I've heard nothing but good things about it. Um The other one that does that a little bit is um, it doesn't do quite the same way But uh firefly did a little bit of that sort of trying to envision a world with Chinese in it except that it did it but without really any input from natural Mandarin speakers Is my understanding so it's a bit of a problem. But anyway, um, I mean So we can't really speak to the specifics. Yeah, I don't remember it well enough blade runner Have to watch it again But I mean the the basic idea that english would continue to be affected by the large, you know, the large populations and that especially if you get mixing Of you know isolated populations Well, and that's that's something that david crystal always says is if you want to look at what the future of english is going to be like Look at the the sort of world english dialects rather than the the hyper local ones Because uh That is going to be become more and more important and You know, therefore more and more influential Thank you. Nuala for giving me your pronunciation guide um Okay, so Just sorry going to Just give over some stuff here Because they sink to like synchronize that's true um Meg you're in welsh. I don't the welsh is always. Yeah, I don't think May I don't I don't know what that tom is saying talking about meg you're in welsh. Sorry. I don't think I followed that Uh, can you do more root words for indo european languages? Well, we'll certainly continue with that But we don't I mean you don't generally Work with like words that are your starting points are always english for english word. Yeah, now that often takes Uh takes us to uh other languages because english loves to borrow other people's words But is it really borrowing if they don't give it back? Um, I will take mike when I'm not going to talk about health As the comments want us to but I will mention mark Why don't you tell us about the pentagram and the the endless knot and where that comes from because that's one of those things That we use and we forget to tell anyone about It it was inspired by a thing in uh cognitive, uh, science called the There's a different versions of it a hexagram or or heptagram depending on how many Uh Things you pointed out to you know, how many points you have in the in the star um that shows related, uh The way that cognitive science is a very interdisciplinary, uh subject and has many related fields That it encompasses So I kind of put together my own, uh five pointed star was also Partly inspired by a 14th century english poem called sir gawain in the green night In which he has in the in in the poem. It's called the pentangle Or the sign of solomon and it was the sort of sign of the his his commitment to Truth in that broader sense of the word truth, uh, you know, like superman's truth justice in the american way That he they were his virtues his five virtues Basically, it was a symbol of that in the poem And so, uh, inspired by that five pointed, uh star. I I put together this, you know, the way that I was looking at linguistics in a very, um contextualized way, uh, so for me it included, um Language or linguistics, um history anthropology And literature is that five did I get all five? Yeah Linguistics, uh, oh and caught well cognitive science um history anthropology Uh in literature that is five And our cat says hello, obviously She wants you know, it doesn't like doesn't like things happening that she's not part of um So, uh afroasiatic languages. Yeah, I mean again, it's not that they aren't fascinating, but they aren't what you know most about Yeah, I don't have a lot of experience with afroasiatic languages. So, um I don't know that I can I can do a whole lot there unless it's a word that Uh, that does make it into english eventually. Yeah, so it's not that we don't think all the other, uh Language groups are interesting. They're fascinating, but we don't have the Knowledge is basically we just don't have the um other than sort of dipping our toe in from time to time if something turns up But you know, we speak english and we know english history the best and so that's what our channel is about unfortunately um Hello child shesh um Now professor new one wanted to ask how you settled on your video style the sort of adhd and web thing But I think yes, you did just kind of answer that though There's one other important influence that I don't think you talked about at the beginning when you talked about the channel Oh, james burk Yeah, so i'm You know if you're old enough to remember i've seen your reruns of uh, james burk You know science historian who did the connection series and uh, and so forth uh, I really Love those and Watched the shows and read all of his books And I like this idea about the interconnectedness of things And it occurred to me that language kind of is a very interconnected Sort of thing too, especially the english language because it has you know Heavy influence not only from its its own germanic base but also from um from latin and and french Because of the norman conquest and so there are lots of words that don't seem like they're related But if you trace them back you can find their common You know their common root and then the basic premise that because language is a product of people It is always a product of culture and history and literature and everything else So you'll always be able to find a connection to the rest of the world through language because it's always connected So yeah, I mean the other premise, you know cultural Cultural creations never exist in a vacuum So they're always going to be influenced by something else and sometimes in quite unexpected ways So, uh, you know a really good example of this is when I talked about in the video sublime You know talking about a literary movement In isolation like, you know the literary ideals of romanticism And and and so forth, you know, they're they're drawing on Uh, you know developments in other uh areas like The arts the visual arts uh or um From architecture and so I made this, you know this connection between uh the uh the The gothic and the romantic uh and and talked about gothic and and um Romanesque uh neoclassical uh architecture Um philosophy as well, right? It you know ideas are being picked up from from all over the place and influencing Uh in unexpected ways. So, you know, you pull on one little thread and so much is connected to it The cat's name is ester ester says hello Thank you. Um So that was an important that was a question. I'm not just bringing that out. That was an important question um Prison slang is it's an interesting that would be interesting prison slang and and thieves, uh Thieves can't well these are yeah all of these specialized sort of groups outgrouped um This shirt by the way was a gift from a friend long ago And we've had many people ask us if we can sell them and we have unfortunately because it was a gift from Uh an internet acquaintance We we can't really because we've never been able to find a t-shirt company that would do the gold printing and And we're not good enough with figuring out the graphics to recreate it. Uh, so what lives on is one solo Lovely t-shirt. Maybe someday we'll be able to figure it out um Lisa asks, how do you how much do you study morphology like in orthographic morphology? Uh, I fair amount. Uh, I did a video on um Spelling So that gets into to some of that um And of course, you know, I studied uh all that stuff in in graduate school. So old english morphology and Um and so forth I need to key type things Oh, well, actually, I can say it and I can interrupt you to say if they haven't already left. Goodbye radar And thank you so much for dropping by and for all your kind words really appreciate that. I was also Arcanics Arcanics, uh, 1971. Thanks for dropping in. Sorry. We can't you can't stay but uh, really appreciate you dropping by Yeah, thanks for coming And air if um, I mean, these are all good good suggestions But what I would really suggest is that you look into some of the other stuff that's out there too because we sort of On the one hand, we cover a lot of topics, but from one very particular perspective and just don't have the Uh The knowledge and the specialization to do things So like there are people who talk about accents out there and people who are much better at phonetics and on history of dialects and things Like that, but that's not really, you know mark does the history of the language um and particular You know historical linguistics and that's what we're good at um african-american Slaying for instance, like all of those things do work their way in But it's not your specialty subject. And so there are other people who do Do who do work on those things? Um And we try to sometimes link to them, but maybe we can do some more On the community tab or on twitter or something do some more pointing out of other places that people can go we tend to sort of stick to the etymology stuff because we know that's what people are interested in but there is a real world of um linguistics videos out there and also of linguistics podcast if you are interested in podcasts, there's a really if you in fact find Lingthusiasm they have a webpage devoted to So if you find lingthusiasm.com, I think it is there's a website on there or a webpage on there that has lists of linguistics podcasts and there's like, I don't know 30 podcasts on there That cover a whole range of different approaches and I would definitely recommend that to you Oh, there you go. Diane has given us a simon roper for accent videos in england uh, and I will be uh doing um Uh, I do have a video coming out on rock and roll, uh, which does have connections to african-american slang So so there'll be some of that cool Well, I mean the funny thing is we think of ourselves as language and history, but I think that um, most of our audience thinks of us as language But it's just totally fine, but it's just funny because we we yeah They're all they're all together, but um, you know, both of us are also very much people who studied history as a as a field or History through literature. We're both really literature people, but you can't do literature without history too. So Cool, um, I think we might be getting to the point when we need to draw to a close Do you want to just mention? Sorry Shameless plug now Just mention the course that's coming up. Do we do? Oh, we didn't um all the Well, I think I think we we touched on most of them. Yeah. Um, Educate other educational youtube channels. I mean again don't go to w go to we create edu Um youtube slash we create edu and look at the playlists there We would recommend any of the channels that are in the we create edu channels. Um, we have Friends who do lots of we're part of that community and they're a very supportive community and the people who do every kind of science and every kind of Humanities things. There's really good videos there. So Oh, Kevin Stroud from history of english is awesome Kevin is great. We've had the good fortune of of going to a couple of podcast conferences and meeting him Is it really only that one time that we just only the one time that we we actually met and we have a we have We have an interview with him. In fact, um from two years ago When we were at a podcast conference together, we did a we sat down with him and talked um, so that's the history of english, which is a very Detailed going through of the entire history of the english language. He's like Finally hit middle english after four years or something and um, he's wonderful And yeah, so we have an interview with him on our in our podcast if he'd be interested in that and he's great I really like him. Yeah So yes, so um before we leave you we'll just tell you about uh, something that's upcoming And in case anyone else is interested in it So this is a course that I will be offering through speak easy Called the origins of english learning to think like an etymologist. Uh, it will be four one hour sessions starting on march Fourth, uh, so every thursday Um at 4 p.m. Pacific or 7 p.m. Eastern And you can sign up for this course If you go to our webpage alliterative.net, uh, there is a link right at the top there to You know to go and and sign up for that.

YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on the same Graven here with another video and in this video, of course We know the Baltimore Ravens. They had Sammy Watkins in for a visit yesterday Now that visit came and went and of course Sammy Watkins did not reach any contract agreement with the Baltimore Ravens We don't even know if there was a contract that was offered to Sammy Watkins But now he is on his visit with the Indianapolis Colts now With him visiting with the Indianapolis Colts is something that I had just completely forgotten about it Just completely slipped my mind with this entire Sammy Watkins ordeal with the Baltimore Ravens But reading Adam Schefter's tweet from this morning. It really brought it back to mind for me And let's read the tweet so we can get into it Adam Schefter this morning said Baltimore had a good visit with Chiefs free agent Sammy Watkins and is interested in signing him per source. However, the wide receiver is in Indianapolis today visiting the Colts So it's straight to the point straightforward. No beating around the bush Baltimore had a good visit with Sammy Watkins cool Baltimore is interested in signing Sammy Watkins cool But he's visiting the Colts today. Cool. Y'all already know how I feel about it What I said if they signed Sammy Watkins cool if they didn't sign Sammy Watkins cool But Sammy Watkins is not the end all be all for the Baltimore Ravens at the wide receiver position I do not feel like he is the answer for the Baltimore Ravens at the wide receiver position He is an answer, but he's just a supplemental answer. I don't feel like he is The end all be all like I said, I do still feel like they're gonna trade for somebody who that ends up being no clue We just got to sit back and watch. But anyway With Sammy Watkins and some people brought it up in the comment section on Twitter and stuff They like hey, well Sammy Watkins He just he just filling out the the market for himself going through his different offers and whatnot and that could be true That could be very true and another thing people say hey, well, maybe Sammy Watkins. He's driving up his own market He's driving up his own price trying to get the best deal for whatever team is interested in him and that could be true as well because if you're a free agent especially a free agent wide receiver and Your first visit is with the Baltimore Ravens They could offer you a nice little deal But you could be like huh if you finally we get some interest from somebody else to you be like, oh, you know what? Okay, thanks Ravens, but I'm gonna see what they talking about so that could make the Ravens drive up their price and That could make the other team that you visit with you could you could show them now Ravens price and be like Hey, this is what they offer me. Can you do better? And if the coats do that okay cool, or if it may be the Texans if it even gets that far, okay cool, but one thing in this Football business one thing that a lot of these teams will do as much as players will use teams to gain leverage They'll use teams as leverage teams will also use players as leverage and that's something that I had completely forgotten about Now when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens using other players as leverage That it clicks a lot for me if I see a report that Ravens are interested in such-and-such player such-and-such position It can be like oh man, okay They could be using that player in order to really bring back this player and for instance The report came out last week the Ravens are interested in Hassan Reddick. What's Hassan Reddick? What position does he play? Oh, he's a pass rusher like an outside linebacker pass rusher, okay? And then it just so happened to come out a couple days later Ravens re-signed Tyus Bowser. Oh The Ravens they interested in Carlos Dunlap. What position does Carlos Dunlap play? He's a defensive end and Who did the Ravens just re-sign a defensive end one of their own that they retained? Derek Wolf and Then a couple years ago. Remember the Ravens. Oh, they bringing in Jared out. No Dwayne Allen Not Jared Allen. He was at the end. They bring it in Jared Allen. I mean, yeah, Jared at no Dwayne Allen I keep getting the Allen's mixed up They brought in Dwayne Allen the Titan from Indianapolis coats for a visit y'all excuse me I woke up super early this morning but they brought in Dwayne Allen a Titan blocking Titan from the Indianapolis coast for a visit and This was when Nick Boyle was a free agent and they were trying to get him to re-sign Then what happened a couple days after that visit? Oh Nick Boyle He re-signs with the Ravens So teams will do this a lot where they use players as leverage to bring back their own The Indianapolis Colts They have a free agent wide receiver out there Who there's been so much talk about them bringing him back that being? Ty Hilton So with Sammy Watkins something to think about Sammy Watkins could be that leverage that they could be using him to really try to get Ty Hilton back Think about it because and if you see any of Colts Twitter, oh if you see any of Colts Twitter It's all over there, man. It's players. I'm no dare. It's Leonard has been one of them And there's been some other ones. They keep talking. I know um The rookie from lab Michael Pittman, Jr. He was another one, but I've seen quite a few Colts players. They keep tweeting about TY Tweeting about TY. I think they call them ghosts or something like that But they've been saying all this stuff about TY coming back when you're coming back when you're coming back when you're coming back So, you know the players wanted and there's been talked at the the Colts organization once it as well So this Sammy Watkins visit something to think about it could just be a way to really sort of push the Envelope with TY Hilton and be like hey, let's get this thing going Let's get this thing moving and sort of try to get him to to nudge him a little bit nudge him and his agent in his camp and be like look We got somebody coming in That can replace you You are Replaceable if you want to get this thing done with if you want to come back with building something over here We got a brand new quarterback. We already had a good defense. Hey, you want to be a part of this You want to add to this what we trying to do over here in Indianapolis? Well, you already know what to do and if you don't want to add to it. Okay, so be it then We'll move on and you'll be forced to move on because we won't bring you back So that is something that could be a very very high Possibility with Sammy Watkins the coast could just be using him They really they really could they could be using Sammy Watkins To bring back T white to bring back one of their own because it happens all the time All the time Ravens are not the only team that does it. It happens every franchise and No time some of them franchises will end up signing those players that they were sort of using as leverage They end up. Oh, you know what? Okay The end of the player that they really wanted to bring back they may move on so it's like, okay We we brought them in we visited it. We've had a visit with them again. Sorry. I woke up super early this morning We had a visit with them everything went well everything checked out And if that player wants to move on the player that we wanted to originally retain, okay We'll just bring in a new guy Simple as that it's a business. It's a business and in this football business You got to use different tactics to get what you want So it's a dirty game But today should let us know Whether this is the tactic that's being applied if Sammy Watkins ends up signing there or if he ends up taking another visit We just got off if we hear about T. Y. Hilton signing Because I don't think they were signed both Sammy Watkins and T. Y. Hilton Hey, the more weapons the better, right? But I don't think it will be both So we just got to wait and see anyway team. Keep it clean. Appreciate y'all. I love y'all Thank you so much. Make sure you check out the team. Keep it clean podcast. It's coming out today new episode coming out today Should be around like 12 p.m. Eastern time. Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel That is down below in the description so you can check that out And y'all just keep rocking it as I appreciate y'all you can follow on Twitter Instagram Everything is engraving vids and on that note just like Sammy Watkins is when it came to his visit with the Baltimore Ravens I'm out

Hello friends, myself, Darshan Pandit, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering from Walton Institute of Technology, Solapur. So, today we are going to discuss about handover in GSM. So, at the end of the session, student can differentiate between intra-cell, inter-cell, inter-BSC and inter-MSC handovers. So, basically we are having four types of handover, intra-cell, inter-cell, intra-BSC handover, inter-BSC, intra-MSC handover, inter-MSC handover. So, before going for these types, so let us see what do you mean by handover. So, handover is a process of transferring an ongoing call or a data session from one cell to another cell in order to avoid call termination when the phone gets outside the range of first cell. So, you can see in the figure when phone is moving away from area covered by one cell and entering the area covered by another cell, the call is transferred to the second cell. So that is the call is transferred from first base station to second base station. So, basically the base station is responsible for forming the cell. So, in cellular system, we require handover procedure as single cell do not cover whole service area. So, because of this, the smaller the cell size, the faster the movement of mobile session through the cell. So, we can have 250 kilometer per hour for GSM. So, this is why we require more and more handover of ongoing cell. So, however, so in this procedure, handover should not cause a cutoff or a call drop. So, in this GSM aims at maximum handover duration of 60 milliseconds. So, there are basic two reasons for handover when the mobile session moves out of the range of BTS or a certain antenna of BTS. So, the received signal decreases continuously until it falls below the minimum requirement of communication. The error rate may grow due to interference. The distance of BTS may be too high, that is more than 35 kilometers as per the cell size, the quality of radio link or a radio transmission is impossible in near future. So, these are the handover due to load balancing. So, these all are the various factor for which we require handover. So, another reason for handover is the wired infrastructure of MSC, BSE may decide that traffic in one cell is too high and shift some mobile session to another cell with a lower load. So, this may also cause handover due to load balancing. So, let us see types of handover. So, first is intra cell handover. So, this is the handover within a cell, a narrow band interference could make transmission at a certain frequency impossible. So, the BSE could then decide the change of carrier frequency. So, such kind of handover is performed to optimize the traffic load in a cell or to improve quality of connection by changing the carrier frequency. So, this type of handover is known as intra cell handover. So, second type is inter cell intra BSE handover. So, in this type the mobile session moves from one cell to another cell, but stays within the control of same BSE. So, the BSE then performs handover that is it assigns a new radio channel to new cell and releases the old one. So, you can see in the scenario 2. So, in scenario 3 it is known as inter BSE intra MSE handover. So, in this BSE only controls the limited number of cell. So, GSM also has to perform handover between cells controlled by different BSE. BSE is nothing, but base station controller. So, this handover then has to be controlled by MSE. So, last handover type is that is scenario 4 inter MSE handover. A handover that could be required between 2 cells belonging to different MSE. MSE is nothing, but mobile switching center. So, in this case both MSE perform handover together. So, just think and write which type of handover is required when a mobile user moves from one cell to another cell. So, that is inter cell handover. So, when to make handover decision? So, that is so handover decision is made upon the weak signal. So, the weak signal is identified by periodic measurement that is periodic measurement of mobile station and BTS is done based on uplink and downlink of mobile station and base station. So, we can see in the figure 3 which shows handover decision depending upon the received signal. So, received signal is measured based on uplink and downlink of BTS and MS. So, whenever MS moves away from one BTS that is known as BTS old and when it moves closer to new one that is new BTS. So, the handover decision does not depend upon actual value of the received signal, but on average value. So, the BSE collects all values that is bit error rate and signal level from uplink and downlink from BTS and MS and then calculates the average value. So, these values are then compared with the threshold that is handover margin which includes some hysteresis that is to avoid a ping pong effect. So, that is without hysteresis we can get a short term interference like shadowing due to building and it may cause handover. So, because of this we require some hysteresis. So, still even with the HOMargin the ping pong effect can occur in GSM that is a value which is too high could cause cutoff or handover and a value which is too low may cause handover. So, basically ping pong effect occur when MS is handed over from one cell to another cell, but quickly handed back to the original cell. So, this causes unnecessary signaling from UM interface or it may be from ABs or A interface and can give a indication of incorrect handover parameter settings or a dominance problem in the area. So, this figure shows intra MSC handover. So, figure 4 so, you can see in the figure on signal flow during inter BSE intra MSC handover. So, in which MS that is mobile station sends its periodic measurement report after that BTS old forward this report to BTS old along with its own measurement. After that based on these values that is current traffic condition the BSE old may decide to perform handover and sends the message handover required to MSC. Then MSC then comprises the request of the resources needed for handover from new BSE that is BSE new. So, this BSE checks if enough resources are available and activates a physical channel at BTS new to prepare the arrival of MS. After that the BTS new acknowledges the successful channel activation then BSE new acknowledges the handover request after that MSC then issues a handover command that is forwarded to MS. So, now MS breaks its old radio link and access the new BTS. So, this include establishment of a link with new BTS and release the resources of old BSE and BTS. So, to signal successful handover using handover and clear complete messages. So, this is how handover is performed in intra MSC. So, these are the references which are used to create this video. Thank you.

Secure the emails of your WordPress site with SPF, DKIM and DMARC
|
Email authentication is important because it helps to ensure that the emails you receive are actually from the sender they claim to be from, and have not been tampered with during transmission. By using email authentication protocols like DKIM, SPF, and DMARC, you can prevent spam, phishing, and other fraudulent email activities. This helps to protect your personal information and prevents attackers from accessing your sensitive data or infecting your device with malware. Overall, email authentication helps to increase the trust and safety of your online communication. However, email traffic from WordPress websites was long overlooked.
A new WordPress plugin makes it finally possible to DKIM sign your website’s emails.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a security measure that verifies the authenticity of the email message by checking if it has been modified during transmission. DKIM signatures are added to the email header, which ensures that the email is delivered to the intended recipient and not marked as spam.
By signing your website’s emails with DKIM, you can increase the deliverability of your emails and build trust with your recipients. With the plugin’s focus on email deliverability, you can rest assured that your emails will reach the inbox, and not get lost in spam folders.
This feature also allows for the alignment of your transactional and non-transactional mail traffic, prerequisites of DMARC an BIMI. Before this plugin, it was difficult and expensive to implement this feature without relying on costly SMTP services.
I will explain what is email authentication and why you need to secure your website’s emails NOW.Presentation Slides »

Thank you for being here. This is one of the English talks we have here today and this time we have Nicola Sereno. He's an Italian recognized in the expert in the industry of email security. He has over, he has 15 years of experience in email marketing and delivery, delivery, deliveryability. Yeah. And has worked with the biggest email senders in the world to protect their brands and to boost their revenue. And if you don't know it, he's a great comedian as well. I used to be, and I say that I used to be a comedian because if nobody loves to do something I say, I can say that now you know why I stopped. But thank you Violetta, thank you all of you, thank you all the organization WarCamp. It's awesome to be here, to be honest. And I actually speak Spanish as well, not Catalan, sorry, Castellano. If you want to ask me something in Spanish, I'll try to answer it in Spanish. But this will be in English. And I hope also to make sure that there is enough room for questions. So the topic we are going to cover today are huge. Are huge, are broad, are deep. In other words, I could spend hours if not day talking about them nonstop straight. That's not what I want to do. And not what I want to do today. Actually, I just want to make sure that everybody understand what they are, why they exist, and why this could be a problem but also there might be a solution for WordPress administrators, owners, et cetera, et cetera. So I know, you know, a little poll. Did any of you ever heard of SPF or DMARC? Just raise your hands. Okay. Love. Okay. But even just the fact that you heard of them. But I'm surprised, I'm happy, honestly, to know that many of you already know what they are. And for the others, it's perfectly fine. Because again, with the job that I have, the kind of stuff that I do every day, I encounter people that work in IT for 20 years and they never had to truly know what DMARC is. And it's okay because it's a very specific niche. But I feel that it's going to be more and more important. But let's start very quickly who I am. Violetta already introduced me. But basically, yeah, I've been working in email, especially in mass security, email deliverability for a very long time. I work for the biggest brands in the world. Doing what, you'll say? Good questions. Let's move on. Now, the deliverability means somebody probably already know, usually in Spanish translators, entragabilidad. But it means it's all the know-how related to make sure that emails are landing in inbox instead of spam. And other than that, there's also all the aspects about brand protection related to that. But deliverability itself, it's all the science and art related to the fact that email is reaching the inbox instead of the spam. But if any of you as a business knows that and is using the email as a channel, knows that if the emails are not getting the inbox or not getting open, you are losing money. So email is money, and especially deliverability is money. So I help legitimate business to make money they deserve because they are sending to subscribers. But one important thing of all of this is the email security part and we'll get there. Yeah, so, and many of you being probably technical know that email is super old, very old. It's more than 50 years old. This might surprise somebody here, but it's super, super old. And when it was created, when it was designed, email wasn't supposed to be safe, wasn't supposed to be secure. It's a very, the SMTP protocol, it's super easy and exploitable. Basically, the way it's designed, SMTP allows anybody to send email posing as somebody else. So probably you know that already. If you don't, that's the way it is. So I can literally pretend to be any domain in the world. There's an asterisk. That's where we are here today. But that's how it was supposed to be. Then we as a community, we started to say, okay, we have to figure out a way to put solution security layers on top of this because you can't just get rid of SMTP. So let's create additional stuff. And those are SPF, becoming DMARC actually. I wanted to, at the very first, I said, oh, I'm going to impress them with some numbers about how many billions of euros every day are being scammed out of people using phishing. I was like, they know, they already know that. I mean, I know that you are aware that phishing is a problem, that email scams are a problem. So you know that. The main points are, anybody can potentially impersonate you or your business. And I see that all the time, unfortunately, scumming people around and art you, your business, your family as well, depending the kind of scam they're running. You're going to lose money, the face, your identity sometimes. And the solution we came out with is email authentication. So why we are talking about email authentication at a work camp? Because, yeah, we have to face it, WordPress sends email. It doesn't matter if it's sending one to emails just to say, oh, they are, the plugins got updated or a transaction or stuff like, okay, this is your password recovery link or whatever. Those are emails. But we also know, we are very aware that WordPress has also been used as a e-commerce sometimes or a social network as well. So those websites send much more emails. So it becomes an even more serious issue. So the solution I said is email authentication. We didn't cover yet what it is. But there are mail authentication with WordPress. It's not an easy task. It's not something that you can do super easily out of the box. It's not something that it was meant to be done. And of course, if you don't do that, somebody can take advantage of it. And there's also people that it's not, I spoke with some of them, that are not pursuing email authentication on WordPress, or not on WordPress. I was aware because they can do it on WordPress. Because the thing is, when we implement email authentication, you should do it with all your mail streams. So that's the deal. That's the thing. Okay. So the solution is that, yeah, it was hard to do it. It's not like it was impossible, but usually you have to rely on an external SMTP service, something like that. And basically, me and a couple of friends, we came out with a plugin that allows to do that. And this speech is not about the plugin itself. Actually, it's about authentication while it cares, et cetera. I'm going to mention this now, share a couple of slides about it. But again, if you want to talk about the plugin, we'll do it elsewhere if needed. But just to give you an idea of what it does, since many of you are more technical and advanced than the usual user, well, as I was saying, many websites find a solution to rely on an SMTP service, right? But we all know, or many of us know, that WordPress sends email out of the box using PHP mail. So our solution is basically we are intercepting whatever is going out with the PHP mail. We take the message. We generate the signature that is required to properly authenticate the message. We put it back. The mail comes out. The mail authenticated. They didn't have to pay or rely on external service. Everything is coming out from the server using PHP mail. It supports itself in a way, the authentication. But actually, I also discussed with the maintainer and developer recently about this. We create a couple of workarounds to make sure that PHP mail works with our plugin. And it works. So that's good. But, okay, that means that what is a mail authentication for whoever doesn't know or wants to just understand more. And again, I don't know a lot of stuff, but I know a lot about the mail and about the mail authentication. So feel free to ask anything you want about the mail authentication. Year after, I don't know, during the night, my wife already gave up about it. Okay. So what it is, of course, as I said, it's to protect the identity of the sender. And the three main, there are more. But the three main protocols that are currently used are SPF, dkim, and dmark. SPF is about the source, the IP, the email is coming from. The dkim is about the content being encrypted and verified. So it's not changed. And the dmark is something that relies on that. And it does two slash three purposes. Reporting. So basically, you have visibility. You can monitor whatever is going on with your domain. That's huge, guys. If you're not using that, it's very important. And the policy. The policy means that you can instruct the mailbox providers, and by mailbox providers, I mean Gmail, Microsoft, Telefonica, whatever, it's providing a mailbox to the end user. It's telling them, if you see something fishy, if it's something that you don't like in the authentication, do that. Or do these other stuff. So the policy is like, if you don't like it, reject it. So bounce it. If you don't like it, put it in the spend folder. So the policy allows you, as administrators, to tell the end providers what to do with the email that is using your domain. That's the thing. Somebody is using your domain. Okay. Let's instruct them to do what we'd like to see to be done with regard to that. So that's the thing. Let's very quickly, again, I don't want to go too much in depth. I prefer to keep it more interactive as possible. So one of the commonality among those email authentication methods is that they rely on DNS. So the administrator, the webmaster, whatever, has to publish a DNS record somewhere. That's a thing. And each of them might end in a certain outcome. So an SPF could fail or could pass. DMARC could fail, could pass. So that's just the very basic concept that you have to keep in mind. There is a certain outcome. Okay. And well, the thing is, especially with DMARC, is that... So SPF and DMARC help you authenticate your traffic. But DMARC, as I said, is the one that gives you the ability to truly instruct the mailbox provider on what to do. So DMARC is definitely the best thing you can do to protect your brand, to protect the domain that you manage. Still, the way DMARC works is that basically it relies on SPF and Dikim. So if you don't put in place a proper SPF or not end or Dikim, the DMARC will fail. So the problem is that not always you can implement those, especially in a WordPress website. And that's why we are here again. So... And again, you have to imagine that there are many different types of businesses. There are businesses that only have one domain name. Others have one domain name, then they have the sub-domain for the shop, the sub-domain for certain communication, et cetera, et cetera. So sometimes they authenticate certain stuff. They don't authenticate others. So you should actually try to authenticate as much think as possible. So SPF, a little, little bit more into details, what it is. So just one. I also have a laser pointer. I can use this to annoy people that are falling asleep. Okay? Kidding, kidding. It's okay. Don't worry. No, it's... Okay. SPF. Sorry, guys. SPF is saying... Remember, this domain can be used only from this list of IP. It's a list of IPs. Nothing more. So Gmail will see the email, will check the SPF record, will see the list of IP, will compare the IP the email is coming from with the list and say, is it there? Yes. It's not there. Fail. Again, there are many, you know, things in between, actually. There are soft fails, stuff like that. But let's keep it simple. So that's basically the outcome that could be done. And that's what it is. It's about the source. Okay. What about Deakin? Deakin, it's interesting one. Deakin is about making sure that the content is not being edited, modified, changed, tampered in any ways. So if I send an email, potentially, again, we are dealing with the limits of the SMTP protocol. But basically, if I send an email, somebody that received that email could potentially replay or, in other terms, reuse whatever we send to them to impersonate us. So it's not good. They could change something and everything will look fine. Yeah, please. Okay. We'll do. Okay. So Deakin, what it does. Deakin relies on encryption and symmetric encryption. So basically, there's two keys, a private key and the public key. Again, to keep it simple, within the limits of discussing about this stuff. But the private key allows to create a digital signature by taking part of the message. So you believe that the from, adder, it's an important one. You believe that the subject is also an important one. So you decide, okay, I want to make sure that nobody changes the from and the object and the subject. Okay. So you say, okay, let's generate a signature using those and the private key. The private key is in a safe place. It's in a vault. Okay. Gmail gets your message. See the signature that is just a message. It's a line in the adders of your email. Check that. See that. Retrieve the public key. So not the private, the public key that is on your domain. And use that to validate the signature. Again, it's encryption stuff. It's okay. Sometimes even too nerdy, even for us. But the idea is, by using that, they can check it. They can check it. And again, they can say, yeah, it's valid. Pass. It's not valid. Fail. Okay. So this is a very interesting thing. And of course, the private key, you have, you are the only one having that specific private key. And you can only use that key to sign your messages. No one else hopefully knows the key. So can do, can pretend to be you. And that public key that is published on the DNS is the only one that can be used to verify, validate, you know, and anybody, literally everybody can access to that because it's on the DNS. Please. Sorry. Send it to you. Okay. Sure. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Perfect. Okay. Right. Okay. So to be honest, I didn't get why this has to, what this has to do with the, with the non-openers. Oh, probably I think I got it. But let me, yeah. So by picking the from and the subject, for example, for the signature, you are saying those are the, the others I want to protect. I want to make sure that nobody changed them. It's about the same campaign, the same message. It's, it's not about, yeah, you are thinking about a marketing strategy where you are saying, okay, I want to recent to send a new campaign to the non-openers. No big deal. It's you, it's you have full control, whatever you're doing. It's not big, it's not a problem. The problem is somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, don't worry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can flow because, yeah. Yeah, this brings us a little bit off-road, to be honest. Yeah, thank you. But we covered it for sure. Thank you. So the D mark, as I was saying, it's about, it relies on SPF and it's about the same thing. It's about the same thing. It's about the same thing. It's about the same thing. Okay. And as I was saying, also, it tells what to do. Now, we're likely already explained that. So we can move on. And this is the plugin that we developed. Okay. Somebody already took the QR code. Yeah, it's already in the repository. We didn't advertise that much. We didn't, you know, we didn't do a lot. We are just making it cooler, etc., but what this plugin does. So, the way SPF became a D mark work, basically, you can pretty easily implement an SPF and a D mark by themselves. Implementing D-kim, though, since it requires that private key in the vault is not that easy. That's why, usually, I have to rely on external services and SMTP services, etc. And as I was saying, we allow to generate a pair of keys, because it's a pair of keys. One, it's in a safe place. And the other one, the user can publish it and they can sign their messages. Since we are there, since we have a plugin about email authentication, we decided to basically put some sort of a score about the status of the mail authentication of the domain. So if you implement this plugin, you can also see how good you are. If there are any errors, again, I try to put as much as possible in terms of experience of common error, common mistakes when implementing those records. So the plugin will tell you there is this problem. Go fix it to get an IS core. And, again, we are still improving stuff. We are adding support for checking if the IP where you are in, the domain or whatever, on the blacklist. We are implementing so much stuff. But the core, the true core, as I was saying, is that this one is saying there's an error on the SPF, etc. We also have some stats about the emails being sent every day. And there is the, now I'm going to use this not to annoy anybody, but just to point that there is the public key. It's this bunch of nonsense. This is a public key for the user that the user can take and publish on the specific location on the DNS. Because that's how it works. Okay. So benefits of email authentication and why everybody should implement it. Okay. Well, you don't want your domain to be used by somebody else. So better to be abused. And we already discussed that. But there's more. There's more. As I was saying, sometimes you don't do full force. Enforcing, for example, DMARC because you can't do the game everywhere. So any of you ever implemented DMARC and maybe looked at some DMARC report? Don't be shy. Still. Okay. Cool. Exactly. Exactly. And again, we can discuss it if you want more understanding or just some technicalities related to it. I'm very happy. I really love to talk. Yesterday I spoke seven hours straight. So I will feel any silence. Don't worry. But a DMARC report is basically telling you those are the mail streams. So the mail streams for your domain mean your domain is being used by this mail server, is being used by this other mail server. So that's the kind of report that you get implementing DMARC. So that's why it's super cool. Because you have, finally, visibility on where is being used your domain. Now, there is a purpose on that. Of course, it's to fight any abuse, to prevent somebody abusing it again. But it's also about go and fix whatever it's yours and it's not authenticated. Because once you do that, you will realize that, oh, I forgot that I also have Zendesk. I don't know. For example, using the same domain or it's subdomain of it. So, okay, I go there and fix it. Oh, I didn't realize I have Zendesk. So that's the goal. And that's why DMARC should be implemented with some strategy, some logic, some understanding what they're doing. Because you start with a policy that says, just collect the data, just collect the reports. I don't want you to take any action DRG mail. Don't reject it. Don't put it in spam. Do nothing. But record it. I want to know. So after some time that you collected enough data, you can say, okay, you know what? Let's move to a more stricter policy. Let's move to a current time. The current time is, if there's something you don't like, put it in the spam folder. And so on. And then you go to the reject one. Okay, so that's how it works, how it does. And the thing is, sometimes people will have, again, a certain business and forgot that they have a WordPress website. So the marketing team heard that there is this new cool kid in town called Beeme. For example, did you ever heard of Beeme? No, not yet. Beeme allows senders to show, display their icon, their logo in the client, in the mailbox client. So if you open your mail, you will see a nice logo next to the brand. Not anybody can have that. And now, since a couple of days ago, Gmail is also showing, and now everybody is using just blue mark, but yeah, Gmail is also showing a blue mark other than the logo to say, you should trust them because it's truly them. If it says that it's from Groupon, it's truly Groupon. Okay, so that's the idea. So it's cool. So the marketing people, usually they have the budget. They, so we are just at their mercy. The market people say, okay, let's spend a lot of money to implement Beeme because it's cool, because it will show the logo and now the more tech people will be called, oh, you have to implement Beeme. Okay, how do you implement Beeme? Well, to implement Beeme, you need to de-mark. To implement de-mark, you need to dig in. And that's when people realize that some of their websites, for example, are running on WordPress, they could, or not easily, so they have to probably pay more money and external service, maybe some custom configurations and custom scripts to do it. Okay, so that's a thing, that's a kind of issue that we try to address. But again, it's going to be more and more important. If you are not outedicating your domain or your client's domain, please do it. Please try to learn more about this stuff so that you can start with the very basics. Because in the past, the bad guys, they didn't care about doing the right stuff. Now we have bad actors, so the abusers, the scammers, that are doing things better than legitimate businesses. Okay, so please, guys, do the right thing and make sure to differentiate yourself from the spammers. And that's it. Any question? Yes? Mike. Introduction. I'm curious, you said about collecting the information about abuse and then looking at the logs of what happens. If I'm having a client website, where do I collect this data? Do I need the third party and how do I analyze the data? Beautiful question. So once you will see a DMARC record, you will get it. You will see that in the DMARC record, there is the policy P equals something, so it's an attribute. And there's also another field. It's called RUAA, or RUF, depending which one we are going to use, that is listing an email address. So usually you put your email address as an administrator, or if you are relying on a third party service that is ingesting the data and is playing it somehow, you are using their email address, or the beauty of DMARC is that you can actually put as many email addresses there you want, so you can put both if needed. Now, those email addresses will receive a report in XML format. So it's not very easy to read if you're not familiar with it, because, I mean, it's not big deal, it's an XML, still you can read it, but a lot of people are just, oh, what's going on? So third party services exist, as I was saying. They ingest this data and they put it in a more readable form, and also the cool thing, and that's why actually, those are, even if they are page service or whatever, but they're doing the good thing because they allow you to really visualize, to filter the data, to dig, and again, they will tell you, this mail stream passed authentication, this other didn't pass authentication. So you start from there, it's not the end, it's the beginning, or another investigation, but it's very important one, again. The risk is implemented, and then you just put an admin at whatever, and nobody will ever look at it, and in five years, they're going to see they have 300 reports, and nobody was reading that. You are so right, so right. I see that all the time, not only people that put an email address, and just forget about it, but also people that don't put any email address. So the whole point of the eMark is to collect reports. If you are not collecting reports, what they are doing, nothing. It's, yeah, again, sometimes people do it because somebody told them to do it. So that's the very first thing, it's get interested, try to know more about the mail authentication, why, you know, all this stuff, and do it right. Yeah, so absolutely right, yeah, I saw it, it's often, yeah, it's arts, it's arts. Any more questions? Yes, please. They're down there. The operator, nice. Hi, thank you for the speech. In my case, yeah, I had a lot, yeah, I used to, when my customers get into spam, my solution for now was to install an SMTP plug-in. What is your position, what is your position regarding to this? Yeah, so email, starting from here, I'll say that email authentication is not by itself, not necessarily a solution to the spam folder. If you're landing in spam, it's not necessarily for the inbox. It's not like, oh, I'm landing in spam, I implement authentication, everything will be in inbox. Sometimes it is, and could be for a couple of reasons. One of them is eMark. If that client maybe added eMark record and you don't know it's possible, well, if they added eMark record, the eMarker was probably with a policy quarantine, P equal quarantine, so that email wouldn't be authenticated. So basically, eMark was just doing what was supposed to do, telling everybody it's not dedicated, putting in spam. So you say, oh, gosh, what do I do, what do I do? Let's try with the cemetery service. Well, it works. Probably it worked because it was passing SPF, probably. But I'm saying probably because I should dig a little bit more. There is another aspect that I didn't mention that is the concept of alignment. But it's completely, yeah, again, if we had more hours, we could cover the aspect of alignment. But could be because of that, or maybe they were actually decim signing because, again, external submit service do. So could be that. Could also be some other stuff because when you send the emails, the keyword, the magic keyword is reputation. So the mailbox provider not only want to see if it's truly you, they also want to know how trustworthy you are. So they have some sort of list saying you're good, you're bad, you know, that kind of stuff, a list of good people, good senders, a list of bad people. And to do that, they have to be able to identify you. And if you don't implement an email authentication, sometimes you are sharing the reputation with the space you are in. So you are sharing the reputation with the hosting provider and everybody that is using that certain space in the same hosting providers or stuff like that. Okay, so it's possible that by authenticating the customer, I was able to say, it's me, it's just me. Don't take into account the other people that is using the same, you know, so it could be more complex. But I will say that could be the mark, the age, yeah. Thank you. Thank you, hopefully it was enough. Yes, please. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but... So then you can use the two plugins at the same time or it's not... Yes, yes, you could do it. Now, you could do both together. Probably, so the thing is, if emails are being sent out with that, okay, I should check which one is using, if it's compatible and everything, the cool thing is that you could put as many Decim Signature you want. So it could be not a big deal that it's Decim Signing with that service. We can add an additional Decim Signature. It could be seen as an additional layer of security, so it could be good. And also, actually, my plugin provides all the other information. It tells you if there's an error, an error, which error is, if there are the other records that we are publishing, they are not publishing, and you are recommending to do it to improve. So, actually, yeah, it could work pretty well. I'd like to test it because I want to make sure that we are compatible with that. But yeah, you could use them both. Or if you just need to Decim Sign, you could use just mine. Right? Yeah, but you can... You add yours and then check it, okay? Right, thank you. Cool, I think we're done, right? Do you have another question, yes? Whoa, whoa. Does the plugin you develop only gives the information, but don't actually fix the issue? No, no, it does fix it. It does fix it because I know you need to add some records to the DNS, right? No, you still have to publish the public key. That's still important because it's the way the mailbox providers can verify the signature. So, we are providing a key that you have to publish in the DNS. But other than that, you're done because we are covering all the things under the wood, you know, behind the cartoon. We are using the private key that we generated for that specific client to generate the signature. So, the idea is that, yeah, they just have to publish the key. They don't have to, again, pay for another service, whatever, or use a signature because it's also about the technology. The way it works is that the plugin works with literally any website out of the box because we are relying on PHP main. It's already there. So, that's the thing. We found a workaround to do this without, you know, any other stuff. Yeah, thank you, cool. Thank you for the work you're doing with this plugin. Please upload, I still have the laser, guys. I'm really looking forward to test it on the website. Oh, yeah, please, please, please let me know any feedback. The plugin works, but it was released very recently. So, any feedback you can provide to improve it, please do. If there's any issue, any problem, just let me know. Thank you. If you want to have more questions, you're going to be in the speakers room now. And this is a little present for you. And please give him a big applause for this.

And so the sector will be meeting here prior to town meeting for the next however long this lasts We have a full agenda tonight and as is our practice with Pre-town meetings like board meetings. We do not do public comment now so we'll go right to our six o'clock item, which is Consideration to approval of a housing production plan now We have some folks from the housing and sheltering committee here to talk to us about that So you guys are fine. You are these are ambient mites here Yes, so you can just introduce yourself for folks at home and as far as above the points The plan is set on state for adoption So And the goal is to produce up to produce half percent of the town's year-round housing stock or formal housing, which in Amherst case Works out to 48 minutes per year So the plan which was completed last month shows how the town achieved that and I believe the board received an email copy of a longer presentation Which was conducted by the consultants themselves. So we're going to be doing that as an outline today We're not going to visit all the bullet points in that plan You'll go over it and the board can come back to us with questions on the sort of points So we've already defined for the housing under the federal and state guidelines So now we've got a little bit of what the town chose to conduct this study Produce this plan Evening a certified plan from the state the town is granted greater control over how affordable housing is produced in the town So a fully redeveloper who came to the town and proposed housing Zone work field that great a lot of you doing with that developer That's just one of the reasons the town decided to take on this plan Additionally, the town has sought for a long time to have data that shows more accurately the picture of housing in town and Provide the town having to address So one of the goals of the writing goal from the town's master plan is to revive a mix of housing It's the physical use of And it's before you go through the broadest possible spectrum of our community and even more impact on the environment And that is also one of the goals of the housing direction plan So we look at what happens currently at 41 hours of the 9,621 year-round housing units 1035 units or 10 front 76 percent are currently centered on the states subsidized housing And the next point which is the time is your critical threshold where the town falls below 10% The time subject to So some examples of people in Amherst who might need affordable housing Local aid cashier in the local grocery store and really more than a minimum wage Combined learning to minors of less than 55,000 dollars to children and then one of the really key findings of the housing production plan the data portion of the plan was that over the last decade 26 to 45 And so some of the strategies of housing production can outline suggest that loss of population Okay Let me just come back to the point that Greg just made because it's really very important The plan shows that there's been a growth in the town population that's significant Most of that growth is due to added students principally at the University But housing has not grown over that period very much So housing has not kept up with the demand a lot of the demand is created by students But because of that demand the demography of the town has changed Some of that may be to do to general population trends But the fact that that 26 or 25 to 44 population has been reduced That school population has been reduced is a result of young families no longer being able to afford housing in Amherst So when we think about the student problem we tend to think about behavior problems and that certainly is one dimension But there's a second important question that people aren't focused on Which is that students are taking over a lot of the town housing Even if they never are a nuisance in a neighborhood the fact is that that housing is not available To young families and that means as I said the demography of the change town is changing We don't have the kind of mixed Population that we've had historically and I don't think that's where the town wants to be So that is among the most important find it So when we look at priority housing needs on page 12 of the hand up we need more rental Housing for families We also need more rental housing for students because if we don't provide more rental As they have been where we and words buy up that housing And they move in there's a lot of existing housing stock Including affordable housing that we want to be sure is preserved and maintained we want to do things that Create affordable homeownership for families and we also want to be sure that housing is available for special populations who are at risk individuals with disabilities individuals who are homeless Individuals who are extremely low income So all of that is to continue to preserve a diverse population in the town of The plan includes a table which shows the consultants estimates of the needs of various population groups Of course the plan itself doesn't call for meeting all of those needs In fact, it only calls for meeting a relatively small fraction of it But we asked them to include that so that we could all get some idea of the dimensions of the unmet need for housing even knowing that what were required to do in the plan The 240 conditional units won't nearly approach this need But that's a problem for the town to consider to look at the ways in which we currently restrict development And if we want to reverse the trends of the last 20 or so years We've got to make some changes that will permit that to happen And so the consultants outline a number of strategies that the town could pursue They're very bold to come up with this outline and one of the committee's main pieces of input on the plan was to really hone those strategies down because we were given a very comprehensive menu of options which could be pursued over decades But we really wanted to narrow it down to knowing that we're pursuable in the near future So it's a mechanic where you have ongoing strategies These are strategies that the town has already undertaken and should continue to undertake but which with them don't come in a specific number of housing years per year We asked for strategies such as to conduct community education related to affordable housing to continue to pursue town-down partnerships, especially with the mass to ensure effective enforcement of zoning by-laws and town regulations And then on top of such ongoing strategies, the committee really made the point to focus on strategies that we could pursue in the next one to five years I should point out that the production plan is a plan for production over five years So these strategies are assigned certain years in the categories of strategies to be pursued In years one and two, we have to establish and capitalize a reasonable affordable housing trust fund to modify the inclusionary zoning and supplemental apartment by-laws to continue to meet zoning bill expenditures using restrictions on infill developments and to continue to make suitable public property available for affordable housing Those are strategies for years one and two For years three and five, we have to monitor and maintain subsidized housing and affordable units and to fund housing and react efforts And our committee has already begun to implement some of these in the form of restructuring sub-communities that will be working groups to pursue in particular the strategies of establishing a municipal affordable housing trust fund and modifying the inclusionary zoning by-law And as far as next steps with the plan, really the select board is our next step because it is one of the last pieces of approval we need before setting the plan off to the state And to give a sense of the time frame and the urgency for this approval there is a number of affordable housing projects in the pipeline right now most significantly Olympia Oaks And if the town adopts this plan in time we can conceivably count those units toward this year's goal and therefore receive certification of the plan So with that we open to the update of questions before the plan out of us Thank you very much It was a very comprehensive review and much appreciated I will point out for folks who are paying attention at home that these documents are in the select board's web packet The PowerPoint presentation is in this week's packet The whole big written report is in last week's packet So folks should take a look at that It's really tremendous information It's very timely It's exactly what we need now And thank you very much for that Select board questions or comments? Ms. Burke I just want to make a couple of quick comments as the liaison to this committee One, I'm really appreciative that three of the six members could come tonight Thank you also Erin for being able to be here This is a very dedicated, hardworking group They've been in existence really for less than a year They had a seventh member who has since had to leave us And they, as Greg mentioned, are restructuring their subcommittees to actually look at the work they're planning to do Which might seem somewhat self-evident but isn't always in committee structure So they're really trying to get things moving along and get things accomplished And I know that one of the things they did along with the study too is they helped the consultant explain some of the findings in ways that we as a community could really relate to based on the way our master plan was written and other strategies that we've talked about So it isn't just like we gave her money and she said here and they said, okay, there was a lot of interaction as to how the information might be presented I know John worked on different charts, etc. with her One of the things that I'm looking forward to hearing from the Housing and Sheltering Committee in the near future is since there's currently another housing study underway a market study, what they think the community education might look like moving forward because we'll have these two big studies that people in town meeting, people throughout town have been really excited about, ooh, we're going to get some meat in this housing situation And then how do you, what's the grab to get people involved in that rather than a particular town meeting article although that's obviously coming up as well but how that might work, so And I'll just note that these studies are related they were put out to the same consultants as part of the RFP I don't want anybody to think we've got competing housing studies going on they're kind of parts of a whole Any comment on what you're expecting from that part or the timeline for that or anything like that? What we're expecting from the additional study Well, our involvement with FASTA is similar to our involvement with the housing production plan so I believe we're meeting with the consultants conducting that study in late May, early June we're going to be co-hosting one of those or more of those meeting with the planning board if the planning board is involved because of course all the public meetings they're likely to be a public forum involved so we'll keep everybody posted on progress with that and it's great to have the additional data like you said they're complementary they're not competing studies and although it's great to have more studies in the pipeline I think there's yet another one that's been proposed the town can continue to act now it need not wait on additional data because the housing production plan has provided much better Thank you, that's an excellent point Any other questions or comments for folks in this committee? Just very briefly I've got through the short presentation and most of the bigger study and it's great Well, it's thick I mean there's a lot going on in here and I really appreciate sort of how it pulls together trends and everything else but really what I wanted to say is that it's very elucidating on that part of the market that it really deals with and it does help understand sort of what the heck is going on but I do want to say that I'm looking forward to the second half of it because that deals with the other part of the same issue the unsubsidized, the not low income there's a middle section in your graph here and families and professionals and everything else and that's got to be fleshed out a little bit too because they live here too Any other questions or comments from the select board? Mr. Wall? Same thing as the comments from Miss Berber and Mr. Hayden who have been doing my reading It's a wonderful plan, it's very clearly presented both here and tonight so I'm very grateful I really hope that town meeting members will take it to heart too because we've been trying to do these things and we go in circles debating or is it the right kind of housing I think the message coming out of these documents is pretty clear we don't have enough and we know what kinds we need and we know where part of the problem comes from and so among the measures here that we're talking about inclusionary zoning, supplemental apartment bylaws rezoning of village centers easing restrictions on infill I think the message there is pretty clear and I hope it'll help to focus the discussion we're about to have in the next few weeks or whenever we finish Thank you very much Christine I really appreciate the data that was in here I just find that I respond to that kind of information I had no idea that certain of the properties in town were not permanently affordable that was a surprise, I knew of some but there are a few out there I didn't know about so it really did bring a lot of data in a very meaningful way to us I appreciate that a lot hard work but thank you other questions or comments I would just again appreciate the much larger context that you've given us for kind of decision making and considerations of the kinds of issues that come before us come before the planning board, come before the zoning board of appeals come before town meeting all the time it really kind of suggests a cause and effect relationship over a long period of time that kind of makes us say oh, okay, so here we are you know and I think that's incredibly valuable I know that this report was extremely well received at planning board last week they are clearly in the thick of these issues also and this is very valuable for all of us to have so at this point as you said in the beginning and there's a cover memo in our packets about this you need the select board to adopt, thank you along with the planning board which already did this last week so that you can send it to the state so that we can get you'll do that right please, yes okay this time would you like to make some motion? I move that the select board adopt the town of Amherst housing production plan dated March 2013 second discussion all in favor say aye that is unanimous thank you very much we're looking forward to your report to town meeting tonight you've given us tremendous information thank you thank you for your great work on this committee as Miss Brewer noted this is a new committee it was fairly contentious our creation of this committee and you're doing incredibly good work so thank you much appreciated so it is now it's 21 we've got a few more things we've got to deal with tonight let us start with the untimed items make sure we get those out of the way community fair and then cultural survival bizarre and then we'll have Mr. McSanti speak to the Unitarian I move that the select board approve the closure of that section of Spring Street within the Spring Street from 2 p.m. Friday May 24th 2013 to 12 a.m. Saturday May 25th 2013 and again on Saturday May 25th 2013 from 1 30 p.m. following the closure of the farmers market to 12 a.m. Sunday May 26th on behalf of the Rotary Club of Amherst for the community fair board got left out second with the floor discussion favor say aye that's unanimous I move that the select board approve the reservation of 21 meter parking spaces on the west side of Boltwood Avenue originating at College Street moving more towards Spring Street a.m. 8 a.m. Monday May 20th 2013 through 12 a.m. Sunday May 26th 2013 and the three meter parking spaces on the easterly side of South Pleasant Street south of the taxi stand from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Thursday May 23rd 2013 Friday May 24th 2013 and Saturday May 26th on behalf of the Rotary Club of Amherst for the community fair second for the discussion favor say aye aye that's unanimous I move that the select board approve the reservation of 10 meter parking spaces on the west side of Boltwood Avenue originating at College Street on behalf of the Rotary Club on the west side of Boltwood Avenue originating at Spring Street intersection moving south towards College Street for vendor use for the cultural survivals 8th annual resort on the south common from 5 a.m. Friday May 31st 2013 through 9 p.m. Sunday June 2nd 2013 second for the discussion favor say aye aye that's unanimous so then the next one is the Unitarian Universalist Society of America instead of Amherst in America whoa we're getting big it's an inspirational group so this was a request that was coming to us but there have been new discussions about this and Mr. Moussanti I've got some really good news there's no action needed tonight by the select board had an excellent meeting with the Amherst downtown business improvement district and brainstormed some options that would be alternatives to meet the needs of the construction work at the Unitarian church but not require the reservation of up to six public parking spaces throughout the period of construction and it was a good discussion and a property owner in the downtown Andy Jones has some private parking spaces available for lease a little further up Kellogg Avenue had some follow-up discussions with representatives of right builders who are the contractor for this project and they are very receptive to pursuing an arrangement with Andy Jones to reserve the private spaces which pre-pludes the need for the use of public spaces so those public spaces on North Pleasant and in the Bulwood parking lot will remain available for the public's use during the construction so there's a private solution to this need and happy to report that thank you very much thank you for taking this to the bid for them to discuss and make a recommendation on a very good solution this is going to be a six month or more construction period so to not have all of that construction parking taking up the public parking downtown during that period is huge so that's an excellent development, thank you very much questions or comments about that from Mr. McAnty alright Ms. Stein how about special licenses I move that the select board approve a special wine and malt license on behalf of top of the campus incorporated for a reception slash brunch to be held May 11th, 2013 from 10.30 am to 2pm in the Herder Art Gallery on the UMass Amherst campus Judy Bargwell clerk second further discussion hi that's unanimous I'm sorry I'm confused, did we do the cultural survival part? yes we didn't did we? I don't remember yes we did we did too yes we did I'm sure it was a great idea I remember because they asked for bags and we gave them spots I'm sorry I'm confused I'm sorry perhaps we did this before I got here because we did not just have a discussion about this would you like me to replay my I remember I remember being struck by the wording when it said the vendors used for the cultural survival's 8th annual bizarre I was checking the date because I had on the previous one right so clearly I didn't vote but I'm sure it's a great idea I'm very sorry for the confusion here trying to keep track of these different things but I thought we were still talking about the errors in the community fairs which also had the wrong days anyway my concern is following up on the conversation we had about the last big event on the common that wasn't the community fair is because we haven't had time to put into the application for the common stronger wording associated with parking on the common I do not want especially because this is a more international festival to feel that they're treated differently than people were treated who might have shown up at the extravaganza and saw the vehicles all over the common and so I would just like that when this is shared when the approval is shared with the cultural bizarre organizers that it's made clear I don't know if we normally give them a written decision on parking I doubt it I know we do on the common but I'm assuming we don't on the parking that says in contrary to what you might have noticed just a couple of weeks ago we are happy to let you drive a few limited vehicles on and off the common and drop off and pick up but do not do it because we will enforce what I'm saying is we can't just let the last time continue on because people saw it happen and they might very fairly assume that it's okay now and it's not there'll be a gentle reminder to the applicant of what the do's and don'ts are that would be better alright so we're still in special let me just mention before you do this one that yes true enough the date was May 1st which was the other day this is one of those licenses that sort of slipped through the cracks of our approval process it was actually received in time and everything it just was a little short-handed in the select board office right now so this didn't happen Mr. Musanti and I talked about it and decided that this is something that the select board would have approved had it come before us last week and so we approved it so that we could make it official this week and I hope you don't mind terribly that we did that some of us suffer I moved that the select board approve a special wine and malt license on behalf of Portobello Fine Foods for a chamber event on May 1st 2013 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Eric Carl Museum Hammerst, Christine Ellison Contact second further discussion Mr. do we know that it went well and we should approve it it was very approvable in further discussion all in favor say aye aye that was nameless alright other things to talk about before we get to town meeting oh yes okay so we received this is not in our this is not in our agenda so probably not reasonably anticipated so there is this process we've been dealing with this act and stuff well forever obviously and and we dealt with it a couple of meetings ago we had to there are all these verbs specific verbs that are involved in every every step I think the last meeting was our intent to lay out something then the planning board had to approve our intention or something like that and now the select board has to adopt the layout this is also something we've talked about in relation to town meeting warrant articles tonight it turns out that it's our vote tonight this adoption vote that then starts a clock whereby after adopted the plans for the altered layout need to be on file with the town clerk's office for eight days prior to the town meeting vote so the town meeting vote needs to be postponed until next Wednesday and we need to vote on this now so that we can start that eight day clock so so that's information about what we're doing and information about a procedural motion that I'll make tonight to explain to the body about why we're putting off those articles so the questions or comments about that missed on here so it's the one on this motion sheet right okay I move at the select board pursuant to Massachusetts general laws chapter 82 sections 21 to 24 having deemed that common convenience and necessity require the alteration of the layouts as public ways of portions of Bay Road West Bay Road and West Street here by alters the layouts of said roadways as public ways as shown on the plan referenced below and the boundaries of Bay Road West Bay Road and West Street as public ways are hereby altered to include within said layouts the parcels of land shown on a plan of land entitled quote plan of land in the town of Amherst Hampshire County Bay Road West Bay Road and West Street altered and laid out by the town of Amherst and quote dated December 2011 second further discussion on favor say aye aye that's unanimous thank you okay the other thing that we have to do is note that we have received from the regional schools notice of the fact that they intend to borrow and so we just got this from them the other day there's no action required from us except the announcement that we have received that notice and I have to sign something saying that we received notice so duly announced and noticed questions or comments about that Ms. Brewer for the future it would have been interesting perhaps to know why one person on the school committee voted against it which is what it indicates in the governmental but given that it was a clear majority vote I'm not concerned okay Ms. Santy do you know anything in particular is that members concerned but the regional school district planning on capital needs and borrowing are factored into the multi-year capital planning that the town does and so I know the superintendent staff have worked with Sandy and I in terms of the timing of both the amounts and the timing of the borrowing so that as older debt is retired they're replacing it with new projects so it so it works within the overall capital budget. All right duly noted I think those are all the specific things that we have motions on and each take specific actions on I want to note for the select board's information a couple of things that will happen at town meeting from a procedural perspective tonight I will recommend or ask the body to approve moving article 6 which is the town gown planning article to 705 on the 15th that is when the chancellor is available to come and speak to town meeting I will move to consider article 29 rental regulations on Monday the 20th and that was the date agreed on by the safe and healthy working group that met last week to talk about this the petitioners will then move consideration of article 38 their article for the 22nd and they will speak to that so that you know I've had very good discussions with that neighborhood group they're all enthusiastically supporting article 29 and basically are hoping to dismiss article 38 so that's just kind of the bottom line with that they're going to have a handout I'm not sure if it will be tonight or at the next town meeting and then the other thing is oh articles 10 and 11 is that what it is about the Atkins layout the easements that we can't consider those tonight and that we would consider those on the 15th which is after that 8 days requirement has been met and we would do that after article 26 that is all I know about right now if anybody have any other town meeting related issues we should talk about is the petition article associated with human services being moved up do we know that for sure or are we taking them no matter I can't remember what's happening with that article 45 if the finance committee is moving that we had some discussion of select board perhaps offering a motion the night article 25 is about to be considered to consider 45 immediately following okay so whenever it comes up right so it won't be tonight so we'll make better on that it does do you know if the petitioner has been contacted about that I believe so okay so we will follow up on that okay let's see anything else logistic wise folks that's correct we have nothing on our agenda for Wednesday next Monday we will next Monday is the 13th is when we expect to take up article 42 is that the number again the Echo Village article after housing and sheltering committee will have met on Wednesday and Mr. Musanti and Mr. Zomeik are having continuing conversations with folks about what comes next with that so we will have more information for that next Monday that is the plan Mr. Brewer we already have in hand memo indicating what town meeting the town meeting votes and the affirmative on either of those two articles that go Hill or what it actually compels us to do the conversation right yeah discussion on Wednesday good okay so that's next week so we don't need to meet Wednesday the plan is as we have done in the past at the end when we finish whatever article we finish tonight as the select board has endorsed previously I'm going to move to consider the next article and the moderator will ask the body if they want to if anybody wants to speak for or against considering the next article and that if they don't then I will then make the adjournment motion and so I think that's everything so we're about to start a 45 article warrant this is the beginning of a new moderator and this is going to be a very interesting and important annual town meeting so get ready and without objection this meeting adjourns at 6.38 select board will meet again next Monday the 13th

Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com. It's finally here, definitive is finally here. That's gonna be, the break itself will be in the next video, but this is a random number block for a definitive baseball one box pick your team number one featuring just four teams right there. So a pretty friendly price point. That's how this format works. Number zero gets any and all redemptions for these four teams here. Let's keep that in mind. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. There are the numbers right there and let's roll it randomized names and numbers, snake eyes, two times, really easy. One and two. We've got Hao Chun down to Robert. Snake eyes for the numbers, one and two. Easy, seven down to nine. All right, so Hao Chun with seven, Tristan with six and one. Robert with five, Tristan with eight, Brandon with three, David with two, Tristan with four, Charles with zero and last bot Mojo, 70% of the time. Last bot Mojo hits 100% of the time. Does that apply to one box breaks? Not sure, we'll find out. Robert with the number nine. So let's order it by division and we'll see you in the next video for the break itself. Jaspy'scasebreaks.com.

If you guys are new to the channel, make sure you guys hit that subscribe button, turn on your post notification bell, leave a positive comment down below for a chance to get a post notification shout out at the end of today's video. So guys, Janice went out to breakfast this morning with her on. They want to call it brunch to me, breakfast and lunch. I don't know, it just don't mix, but Janice began something like chicken and waffle. That's besides the point. But as you guys know, whenever I'm alone, I'm always up to no good. So this morning, I actually had a package come in and it worked out perfectly because Janice isn't here to witness what the package was. Now, as you guys can tell by the title and thumbnail of the video, your boy's basically going to be doing a come alive teddy bear prank or a huge teddy bear prank with me inside of it. Guys, this is going to be crazy. This is going to be epic. I can't wait to see Janice's reaction when she sees this teddy bear comes to life. So as I said, she's out to breakfast with her on and all that. So what I'm going to do is when I get upstairs with this huge teddy bear and I'm going to show you guys the teddy bear in a second. But when I get upstairs, I am basically going to give her a call and be like, babe, I'm stepping out. I'm going to go buy some car stuff at AutoZone. I got to go run some errands for my car. I left you a surprise in the bedroom. Now, early this morning, she told me that she was going to fold laundry because I had washed laundry last night. She told me she was going to come home and fold them and put everything away. That's exactly where I'm going to leave the teddy bear. I'm going to leave the teddy bear in the bedroom so everything will just fall into place perfectly. But yeah, I'm going to give her that phone call, letting her know that I'm leaving her a surprise. And then when she comes home, she'll see the big teddy bear. One, you guys will get her reaction for that. But then two, when she starts folding all the laundry and putting that stuff away, I'm going to be in the stuff teddy bear moving around here and there, kind of trying to like freak her out. And then at the end, I'm basically just going to like stand up, come to life kind of thing. And I'm just going to scare the living crap out of her. So if you guys are ready for today's video, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up button. Comment down below Team Isaiah all day, every day. This one is, I'm not going to lie. This one's probably going to be one of my top five pranks. But if you guys are ready, again, make sure you guys comment down below Team Isaiah all day, every day. Let's get into it. So this is the bear, guys. My boy, Teddy. All right, just laid out over here. It's a huge bear, guys. If I actually stand the bear up right, it's supposed to be seven feet tall. And I'm not going to lie. It's a little heavy. So I have to drag this all the way upstairs, and you guys are going to see me do that right about now. I'm going to start to unstuff it a little bit. Now I'm going to go ahead and give Janice the phone call. Tell her that I left a little surprise and that I'm going to be out running errands for my car and all that, like I said in the beginning of the video. And yeah, I ran downstairs. I got some skizzers and a plastic bag to hide all the evidence. Well, some of the evidence because I'm not going to unstuff him completely because I wanted to look somewhat stuff. So it's all believable and all that. This is going to be a banger, guys. Again, if you haven't dropped a like down below, I'm sure you guys do that right now. But yeah, let's flip my boy Teddy over and we're going to get to the process. Look at that tail. I did some test fits to make sure it looks all believable. I was looking to myself in the mirror behind you guys. Yeah, it's going to get really hot in here. So I'm going to go ahead and take this shirt on and leave the under one I have on. But yeah, right now I'm going to give her a call. Let her know I got a nice surprise for her. And yeah, let's get into it. Hey, are you guys still running around doing errands or eating brunch? Whatever you guys are doing? Yeah, but I'll probably be home in like a half hour. All right, cool. I'm going to go to AutoZone. I'm going to pick up some stuff from my car, like car wash stuff. And then I'm going to think I'm going to swing around to like a car park kind of store because I need like a certain tool for a thing that I want to do. Okay. All right, so also I left you a nice little surprise when you get home. It's in the bedroom. A surprise? Yeah, it's nothing crazy, but I got it for you. And I don't know, I thought you'd like it. I'm excited now. I'm excited to go home. Yeah, it'll be in the bedroom waiting for you. But in the meantime, I'll be out and about. All right, babe. Love you. All right, love you too. I feel so bad, guys. She's over here thinking she's going to get the nicest surprise and what she's going to get is a nightmare. Imagine just chilling in the room and then all of a sudden a huge teddy bear just comes to life and is like either chasing you or like trying to get you something. It's going to be crazy. All right, guys. So I just tracked her location. It says she's about five minutes away. So I'm already like halfway in the bear suit. It's already looking crazy. I'm looking at myself in the mirror. What I'm going to do is I'm going to check the location again in about a couple of minutes. When I see she's outside of our house, that's when I'm going to go ahead and put the whole headpiece on because I'm not putting it on right now. It is way too hot in here. And I hope she doesn't take forever to get to the bedroom like I said, because your boy's not trying to pass out. But yeah, if you guys are ready for today's prank, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up on comment down below Team Isaiah all day every day. I'm about to scare the living crap out of her. This is going to be great. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but your boy's in the bear. Your boy is in the bear. I'm ready to do this. Team Isaiah, let's go. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you guys the location said that she's outside. So she should be coming in any moment. Naina, that is gifted. So you're going to creep me out. Hmm? I kind of don't like it. It's scary. Baby, mommy's tripping out because that bear is really scary. Naina, come here. What's wrong, baby? What's wrong? Huh? What happened, baby? Huh? Yo, I don't think you'll be able to... I don't think I'll be able to give you kids. Babe! I don't think I'll be able to give you kids. You are dripping sweat. How long? I don't know, bro. I lost count. Why would you do this to me? It is a gift. You can have it after I put the stuffing back in. Naina, stop eating the stuff. Bro, don't eat the stuff for the wind. I got stuck. He gave you a freaking heart attack. Yo, shh. You texted me. Thank God I put my phone on vibrate because if you would have texted me on the phone it would have all been bad. Because it's too damn hot. Alright guys, so that is it for today's video. Yo, your boy had a complete success. What a big W for Team Isaiah. I told you don't mess with us. Honestly, I told you don't mess with us. That was cruel. Bro, this was good. Look at this. Look at this. I'm still inside of it. I'm hot right now. I gotta get out of this. My legs are sweating and I never sweat on my legs. Yeah, you need a shower. What are you trying to say? That you're sweating and it's like seeping through your shirt and your shorts and everything. You want to give me a sponge bath? No, absolutely not. You're gonna have to give me one when we're older. Or maybe I would just want a sponge bath. Alright guys, so with all that being said it is now time for today's post notification shout out. Today's post notification shout out goes out to Christy Bonaparte. Shout out to you, girl. Thank you so much for the love and support. If you guys want a post notification shout out all you guys gotta do is like, comment, share, subscribe. We post a new video. And also DM me pr- Bro, I got stuffing all over my face. Like my face is- This is like so scary. And I'm like petrified of like dolls and like- Yo, we should do this to like one of your baby cousins or something. This would be- Oh my God, we should start friends like anyone who we invite.

The construction of the new Lucas Fire Station is going to provide our firefighters with modern facilities, fantastic equipment and the best that CFA can offer in terms of delivering our services to the community. I am incredibly proud of the hard week that goes into building a fire station and I know our firefighters will be proud to work out of this station. So overall the process of building a fire station will take in the order of 20 to 24 months for the time you take in the initial interpreting the vision or the brief to developing the design before you move into construction and delivering. Some of our biggest stations such as Lucas Fire Station that we have recently completed was four motor room bays and ten bedrooms. So we had some trial and error about where to locate. It was on a corner site where best to enter and exit the station and allow safe egress for our vehicles under a call out procedure. So those are some of the things that we look at in the initial planning phase before we can get to a town planning application. So the basis of developing the design is around the CFA standard design guidelines. These are guidelines that have over the years been adopted and changed to reflect feedback from the stakeholder groups and more importantly they have been built up over a number of years in consultation with our industrial body, UFU. Having established the design we will engage with the stakeholder groups to ensure that the layout of the rooms suits their end needs. We will sit down and discuss with the staff on the station itself to make sure we have the right and final solution. Having selected a preferred builder we will then move into the delivery stage of the project and again the Land and Building Services project management staff will be responsible for the contract administration of the project. Throughout the stage of construction we consult with and liaise with our station staff to ensure that they can monitor the progress because that's the most exciting time for them prior to them moving into the station itself from an operational point of view. At Lucas in particular we had regular visits on our monthly meetings where the station rostered staff would come along walk through the spaces to give them an idea of the feel for the space how they move about the station so they could manage their own expectations when they finally took delivery of the finished product. When we get to the commission handover stages there's a fair amount of consultation with the industrial body to ensure that what we have delivered meets their expectations and indeed meets the overall expectations of their staff. Next stage is the final commission and fit-out and handover stage. Generally this takes some two months before we can get to position where the station becomes operational. There's a lot of detail goes into the fit-out of the station the communications issues that we need to resolve and make sure that everybody is working together. The one bit of advice I'd give for future IOCs who are going through the relocation process is find yourself a leading fire or a station officer who has the desire to be part of the project and get them in nice and early. So Paddy Shawcross who give me a hand with the move here coordinated all the small things that don't get picked up like land-building services or comms or IT or the Lucas Vive station in general but still need to be done. So things like contacting the EMR consumables delivery the linen company, the rubbish bins, the milk orders as well as unpacking all the new equipment that you buy so we've purchased kitchen utensils and plates and pots and pans well somebody has to unpack them out of the box the dishwasher put them into the cupboard before the staff get here so to have somebody a leading fire or a station officer who can jump in and do that time-consuming well it's relatively easy work but if you try to do it yourself in the OIC space it's just impossible to stay on top of your normal business as usual activity, your RDO work any other work that you do is part of your district responsibilities as well as pick up the move for the stations. Ballarat is one of the fastest growing regional communities in Victoria if not Australia I think with the 6th or 7th fastest growing regional community in Australia and that's some data that's come from the age recently we're very fortunate here that we had the foresight of previous leaders in the region and the district to look to the growth that was happening on Western Ballarat, bought different government agencies to the table and had a conversation around how do we deliver essential emergency services across this growing footprint and in the past 6 or 7 years the Western side of Ballarat has grown in population by around about 7,000 and the area that's been opened up for development is already around 60% full so it's continuing to grow and they're already looking to the next place but next door to us we've got the police that have built a police station here and have been operating here for around about 18 months this fire station which has opened here last week but has been operating from a temporary site for almost a year now in the vicinity of where we are now and also there's land set aside next door for ambulance to eventually build an ambulance station there so we're lining up all the different emergency agencies in the one precinct and like I said we've benefited from the foresight of leaders 10 years ago to actually go to government, identify the land and have that set aside when we build a fire station the hardest thing to do is actually identify a site to put the building on so this is about forecasting where the demand is going to be in terms of our service delivery and we know that in the growing population of Ballarat that increasingly we have to substitute our volunteer capacity with increases in the number of career staff we do that in an integrated fashion and we're very deliberate about how we do that but where we are at Lucas there was no existing volunteer fire brigade we sit on the corner of five different fire brigade areas and three different CFA groups so it really was bridging across those different boundaries to identify the need we've already seen that in not quite 12 months this brigade responded to over 350 fire calls from the day they opened they took on the emergency medical response capability and function which has been incredibly important in our community and as the suburbs start to fill in the demand in terms of fire calls and need for our services and the community will only grow The new Lucas fire station is going to provide our firefighters with access to modern facilities, some of the best equipment and of course it's relocated in the right place to really enhance our service delivery across a growing part of Victoria so we are really really proud to have built this station and we know our firefighters are going to be incredibly proud to operate out of this station it's going to allow them to better prepare for emergencies and respond to emergencies

Welcome, traders, to this week's installment of these live analysis sessions with me, Patrick Munley. Before we get going today, obviously, what we want, first of all, adhere to is the risk disclaimer. As we, as you all know by now, it's incredibly important that we understand the risks involved in trading any financial instruments. And more importantly, from my perspective, the opinions I'm sharing today, firstly, don't constitute investment advice, and secondly, they are not related to TickMill. So for those who are here for the first time, I'll just give you a quick context as to who I am. I've been trading for 15 years. I wasn't always involved in financial markets after I graduated. I went into the world of consulting, and then I left a city, PLC, and got involved in a startup, consulting startup, experienced some pretty rapid growth, and after 45 years, I cashed in my stake in that business and I had a bunch of time on my hands and some chips to play with. So I started to, what I've referred to as meddle or gamble with respect to the markets, I had a front row seat due to the nature of the work I was doing in the startup to witness the tech boom and bust, seeing people making moves, fortunes in the markets, quite literally overnight at times. And so I started day trading the E-mini S&P and the market was predominantly trending north, and I caught some lucky early breaks and started to make some solid and then some quite significant gains, and I've all seen rosy until, as is often the case, my big luck ran out and things hit the skids, say in the least. I ended up not just losing what I've made, but I actually took a six-figure hit as I started averaging down into losing positions. So it was at that stage I decided to step back from trading and try and gain some perspective and understand whether or not I could actually make training work as a commercial endeavour, as I've done in other business enterprises. And so I sought out a mentor, someone who demonstrated excellence in the field of trading, worked with him for 18 months, two years, developed a trading plan, business plan, fully back-tested, forward-tested and came back into the markets 2008 with a solid approach to markets. And really what I'd learnt from working with a mentor is not just the technical skills I needed to operate consistently in the market, but most importantly, it was the mental skills and they stood me in good stead. And I navigated 2008, came out at the end of the year profitable and have been profitable on an annual basis since then. The reason you can see performance from 2013 on the screen is that that's when I started my managed account service and it's initially family and friends. It's all I was doing. I wanted to get in on the action and it's growing organically since then. It's now a multi-million dollar portfolio that I've managed and like I say, on an annual basis, I've managed to be consistently profitable and that's because what I do is I'm not interested in the outcomes of individual trades or even small streams of trades. What I'm looking at is the next hundred trades and I'm focused really or my sole concern is process. You know, if I execute my trading plan from a process perspective with excellence, then over a significant or over an extended series of outcomes, my edge will demonstrate itself and I'll I should deliver positive returns. That's not to say that I don't have strings of losing trades, losing months, multiple losing months, none of that. You know, I'm not I'm not bothered about about that. I accept loss as part of the process in terms of moving towards the next next game. I guess really what I focus on is the fact that when I lose an average losing month is 2.4 percent, an average winning point is a month is 8.1 percent. And so if you extrapolate that out, you know, I'm getting somewhere between two to three times my risk reward in terms of returns. So that's that's my core focus. Most of the the trading I do is end of day stuff now. So I have a bunch of time, but, you know, I still want to be involved in markets. And so I have a couple of other projects. I obviously am the resident market experts at Tick Mill. I provide a daily market outlook and a set up that I'm potentially looking after the day ahead or within the next few sessions. You can subscribe by the blog page there to receive those to your inbox. And then the the other project that I'm heavily involved in is effects career swap. This is really a way of giving something back in terms of helping retail traders overcome what are a bunch of key challenges, primarily not just in terms of helping develop them from an education perspective, but working towards actually managing meaningful capital. Because the reason most retail traders end up liquidating their accounts is that they're woefully undercapitalized. And so when it comes to once they've got a plan in place and they've got risk management, they know what they're doing finally. For most retail traders, even if they adhere to their plan and, you know, execute it with professional risk management standards, you know, even a 30 to 50 percent annual gain, which is fantastic. If you're trading a thousand pound account, that really doesn't move the needle in terms of financial return. So what tends to happen to retail traders is they they leverage up. They take on too much risk. They run into a small drawdown, but because they're over leveraged and overextended on the risk side, the drawdown basically wipes their account. And so that's the really the the merry go round that most retail traders find themselves on. They experience that process over and over to the point which they just get sick of it and they're going to do something else with this for a time. So what we're offering at FX Korea Swap is we're saying, you know, we believe in the education we're providing, we believe in our community and the support that it gives traders to the point that we will actually fund you for a meaningful sum of money that you can then grow over time. I've got a poor CD from trial service at the moment. I'll put a link into the chat if anyone is interested in learning more about that service. And actually this evening, I'm hosting a webinar which will explain in more detail the service, nothing to that in the chat. If you want to join me this evening at six p.m., you are all welcome. So that gives you a flavor of where I'm coming from. Now let's move into thinking about the markets and what we're up to. So share this chart last week and that, you know, want to always be cognizant of the seasonality that we tend to see in markets. And as we anticipated, the dollar is having a decent run, maybe it's the best amount of the year on average. I'm going to look at the dollar chart in a minute and some of these are some very interesting positions because this dollar strength that we're witnessing in May tends to be the, you know, tends to put in a tradeable high in terms of the dollar because we then see a swoon in terms of the summer months for the dollar. Obviously, the other major is picking up a bit from losses seen in May. In terms of other seasonality that I'm also tracking that is the S&P 500. We saw very strong April as we'd anticipated versus the historic seasonal trends. And May looks to, we're looking at a bit of a wobble here at the start of May or mid-May now. And we could see that that persists throughout the month before we see some gradual pickup in the S&P. So if we think about the S&P as the global barometer for risk, we want to be cognizant of what's moving that. Another thing of interest or note that I would pay attention to, I posted this to the trading team, I don't know if it's Chris or this morning. Sterling has taken a bit of a dive, I wouldn't say dive, but a swoon here this morning. We've had Trump out on the wires talking about King Dollar. I guess he's at the stage now where, you know, he's in a position where obviously these economies are going to open up again. We'll see how that plays out in terms of the pandemic and the implications for a re-emergence of infections. But yeah, he's talking about King Dollar and about the fact that, you know, he would like to see negative interest rates, but he accepts that, you know, at this stage that the dollar is king in terms of the global scale. And so this is moving into election campaigning rhetoric at the moment, so expecting to flip-flop a bit. But we've seen a bit of a drop in Sterling and we note that in terms of the FX options, the last 24 hours, big increase in some downside attention. Certainly it's that 120 area and we'll look at that 120 area in a minute because we've got a deadline coming up at the end of June with respect to the Brexit talks again. And the implications at this stage are that, you know, the UK once again are adopting a fairly hard stance and that appear to be up for much negotiation. So the options market is starting to look at downside potential. And so where we see these 120s, basically what they are, is that they're downside structures which allow the purchaser of the option to take, you know, to take possession of that 120 strike on the date. So, I mean, if, you know, if you're going to, if you're betting that prices are going to decline, you've got a 120 downside strike, then what they're allowed to do, depending upon where price is heading into that period, you know, your profit is anywhere below that 120 area. So it's certainly something to keep an eye on. It's something I update the guys in our, in our, in our team chat on the daily basis, the options flow, it's something to keep an eye on. We're also this VIX structure, the VIX, obviously the volatility index with respect to the S&P 500. You see, we'd look to be tracking here where the kind of the model we saw in 2008, 2009, whereby we've got a spike in the VIX and then we got that secondary spike before we saw as we've traded into what ultimately became a low. So it's important to watch this VIX move. And certainly as we're seeing a pullback in terms of the S&P at the moment. Again, this is a similar thing. Looking for that secondary spike in terms of the VIX here would suggest that we have a little bit of work to do, maybe on the downsides. Again, this is just the analogies with respect to 07, 08 in terms of rallies and scope of rallies, 46 days, 24 percent. Obviously, we've seen a lot more than that most recently, but in terms of time and price, something to keep in mind. And it says the analogies. This is taken from Jeff Gundach, Dublin Capital. You can see that in 1929, for example, we were with 1929, we got a significant pullback before rolling over and the real nightmare set in in terms of the economic decline. And if we listen to Fed Chair Powell last night, he certainly was sanding the alarm with respect to the markets. We've had a bunch of high profile investors outside for the past couple of days, knows the Drucker Miller thinking that this market's got ahead of itself and that we probably have some more work to do on the downside. So again, it's just these are market themes or dynamics that we want to be cognizant of as we're navigating through the charts. Finally, this I've shared this before, but it's worthwhile revisiting this idea of the dollar cycles and the potential that we're heading into a major dollar peak here and certainly driven by the amount of liquidity that the Fed is putting into the market is potentially going to drive that. And this is the Goldman Sachs monthly 16 year cycles in terms of the dollar index as well, which we've just completed. So these are again, these are just factors that I want that I keep in mind. This is the US dollar seasonality. Obviously, we just looked at it through the heat map, but we tend to see a peak into this summer month and then a decline in the dollar. So those are factors that I certainly want to be cognizant of as we now move into the charts. So we want to check in with this monthly dollar index chart as I keep you, I try to keep you aware of these hard time frames we're at this major trend line. We've seen each month that we've, you know, during the month we've traded higher, tested the trend line, tested the way of the trend line. But at the end of the month consistently or the lot, you know, we close the last two months below it. And if we get a third close this month below it, that would certainly be concerning to dollar bull, dollar bull. Sorry. So keep an eye on this this monthly chart. It's one that I certainly pay attention to. Now, in terms of the current environment, the current trend starts up. Well, we've got this. This is the Dow Jones dollar index, which is an equally weighted dollar index versus the Euro, Stirling, Yen and the Aussie on an equal way basis. And we can see here that we're just coming in some symmetry swing swing resistance. When I refer to symmetry swings, I'm measuring prior swings in the decline and looking for those to act as resistance. We've got a cluster here at this one twenty five ninety area, one twenty five sixty. We're just trading into there now. And I'm watching to see if this is the area where we're going. Things are going to get a bit sticky to the dollar. And we're certainly over overbought in terms of the momentum. And I also know that we're coming into some trend line resistance with respect to our side indicator. So if we hold this trend line resistance, we get a bearish reversal in this area. And certainly again, I'd be looking at deploying dollar shorts. If we take the DXY, so this is the broader dollar index as versus six major pairs, it's quite heavily weighted in terms of Europe, also includes things like the Swedish Crone, which I'm particularly heavily traded. But again, we're trading at this trend line resistance. Now we've broken it certainly and traded above, but we fail to close. So watching today, we're also trading at the monthly R1. We've we're in the midpoint in terms of the psychic indicator in terms of sentiment, but we are in terms of momentum getting into the oversold area. So I'm really paying attention today. And you'll see there are a bunch of these charts. Now they're at this key inflection point. If we get a break, if we take out the trend line on a closing basis, then what I'd be looking for or we then start to pay attention to potential upside here. And the first port of call will be the equidistant swing, which would actually see the dollar up into this one one 60 area. We think we've probably got some further conference here if we look at this equality move. So yeah, so if we if we close above this one hundred and forty area one hundred and fifty, then it's one one hundred and ninety to one one one sixteen will be the next area of interest in terms of the upside. And again, if we if we take out that zone, then we're up into the one six one extension of this structure, which we've had us up at one or two. And if we bring the fibs there, let's see where that comes in terms of and that's a seventy eight point six percent retracement. So where we get this confidence of the one six one extension and the seventy eight point six percent retracement. Certainly pay attention to those areas because those are levels that we often see reversals or new trends emerge. So we trade up into there, get a sell signal, and there's still opportunity to to see down. So you've got to bear in mind as well, we're trading with it. We're heading into the summer months and often the summer months in terms of forex and most markets are defined by range. And so at this stage, we're still in it, you know, we're still in the range here. And even if we break up here, we're still within the march range. Obviously, the march range is very extended due to the nature of the pandemic and the crisis trading. So it is an extended range, but we are still just trading within ranges. We're not we're not really breaking out as such at this point. Obviously, if we do take out this one or two, then as I've mentioned before, there is certainly scope for an upside target here of one or six in the dollar. Less likely at this stage, but again, always want to be paying attention to where the where we can go in terms of market mapping and realistic expectations with respect to prior price swings. We're not just pulling levels out of the air. We're letting the prior moves within the chart give us ideas of where prices is likely to go. Another one that I'm watching at the moment is this swissie. Again, you'll you'll note this theme in terms of triangles is is prevalent at the moment. But the swissie trading back up into the resistance area and see the wicks we've seen here every time we've got up into this 97 late 27 area. So watching to see what happens as we test here. We've also got again, thinking in terms of these momentum trend lines and paying attention as we get up into this area, because this may may stall again here. And then we've got another move back down to the support area. If we take it out, which would obviously imply that the dollar index takes out that its descent, its first train line, then we've got the next area of interest at 98 50 in the swissie and certainly watching that. Gollien played this from the from the long side earlier in the week with the reversal patterns per our strategies. Now what I'm looking for is. One second, what I anticipate now is that we hold symmetry swing support. We could drive higher here. Let's see, we've probably got a little internal. Equality move there as well, we have. So if we do, if we do push higher here in terms of the dollar again, 108 30 to 108 50 is the area I'd be watching to to set short positions. And ultimately, I'm looking for a test of this 104 60, which is the equality objective versus this structure. So this this high is reaction low and the reaction high. Whilst we trade below this 108 30, then that's the downside objective from there. Obviously, we could see a more meaningful correction ensue. But if we do get down to that and certainly want to pay attention to how the dolly end trades there, because that could be a decision point for the market in terms of the next next phase for dolly end. Lulee, obviously similar story trading in the triangle. So I'm watching triangle resistance coming up to the over overbought area with respect to the. The momentum studies and so watching the loony as as we trade here, because I've still got a downside target on the loony of this 136 area, which is the quality. So basically what we've done is we've had a first egg down. We've corrected an hour in this complex correction, similar story in many charts that we look at today. But these are certainly very tradable and third to patterns. So it's well worth paying attention to these trend lines and how price reacts at them. You can either do most of my trading, like to say, daily chart. You can also look on those intraday charts to try and tighten up your risk reward parameters so you get down to the early four hour charts and see when we hit these trend lines, how price responds. If you get that bearish reversal or bullish reversal, depending upon where we where we're at, then there will be an opportunity in terms of in terms of this dollar card and a bunch of these I'm looking at. I haven't got anything there. The euro. So this is the one I'm really paying attention to. We're testing that sending trend line. If we can find support here and on the initial stab into this area, it looks like we're some bids are emerging in the market. But certainly a close back through the near term be worth. So today would be one of eight twenty three would be would set up a bullish reversal and the potential then to trade up to test trend line resistance. Certainly the first target would be this one or nine. We had a pop up there yesterday. Important to also understand. And I shared this in my daily market updates. Daily market outlook, sorry, is that we're in a position at the moment where there's a significant options flow, twelve billion dollars worth of options expire this week between 107 50 and 109. And that's kind of defining the range at the moment. Once they've gone after, you know, the end of the week, we could then, you know, we could have the potential to get up and test trend line resistance. And as I posted before, we have that interim equality target at one 1050 if we can get through that trend line. But like I said, always be cognizant as we head into the summons of range trade. And you can see the volatility bands are flattening out somewhat here. So first of all, we'll call the 109 if we can get a reversal today. And then 109 70 on to one 1050. Another child I'm watching is the Euro kiwi heading up potentially about to test some symmetry swing resistance here at this 181 area. And if we do find and get a bearish reversal pattern here, then we could have an opportunity to do something on a short side targeting a move down into this seventy eight point six percent retracement of this prior advance. And from there, we could see a more meaningful move. But watching this one eighty one forty area, again, bearish reversal patterns depending upon how you choose to trade. You can look on the four hour of the hourly charts to see if we get a reaction there and get some of your risk reward sterling. So this is what I was this is the one I was talking about earlier. Whilst we're trading, we have a we have a trend line here. Whilst we're trading below that trend line, then, you know, we're kind of in a fairly well-defined channel, which will take us down into this equality target at the one 20 area. Sorry, the one six one extension and the 50 percent retracement at this one 20 area. Now, if if we can, if someone can find its feet today and get a bullish reversal of clothes back above the VWAP one, two, three, five, then there's the potential for another symmetry swing move here. And you can see this will take us into a kind of head and shoulders scenario whereby we have Streltson, you have this as your shoulder here for the double head and then and then we have our other shoulder over here. So watching today because it could be certainly a tradeable set up if we get that support here at the one 2160 holds bullish reversal, then there could be a long to trade back up into the one 25 area before we probably get that next leg lower to test this one 20. And remember, certainly be cognizant of those downside options that are in play there. But from that one 20, that'll be a key decision point, I think, for Stirling. And it's from there that we can see the next leg higher. Certainly have open targets at the 78.6 percent tracements again, the level always want to be aware of at that one 28. So, you know, we can be getting up to one 28 depending upon and again, we'd have to be looking always when paying attention to the market dynamics in terms of the narratives with respect to Brexit, etc. And I'm paying attention to that. Stirling yen is coming into its support or decision point that I'd be paying close attention to one twenty nine fifty, one twenty nine seventy. We get some bullish reversal patterns here. I'd look for a symmetry swing for potentially then setting up that next leg lower to test into its 78.6 percent tracement area. So watching one twenty nine fifty, one twenty nine eighty as the potential reversal zone, the Aussie. Seeing the pullback that that I talked about with the trade team. So we're testing looking now for a test of the quality objective at this sixty three sixty six three thirty area. Whereby I'd still be then looking for a final leg hard to complete this this sequence and test that sixty seven, which is seventy one six percent tracement and this equality target versus this structure here. So sixty three sixty six three thirty. The key areas I'm going to be watching bullish reversal patterns set long positions for the sixty seven test. Aussie yen similar story. Correct. Correction developing here, but we've got equality at the sixty seven sixty seven seventy area. Get down there. I'm going to be watching bullish reversal patterns again for the same type of play to get this final thrust higher into this seventy eight point six percent retracement and the equality objective at seventy two level. And then I think we can see a more meaningful correction in Sioux similar story in the Aussie key Aussie Swiss. We have the potential here for this equidistant swing to play out. And that would take us nicely into the seventy one six percent retracement. So again, watching for bullish reversal patterns monthly V wax gone bullish. So we can play a continuation trade from the central tendency here if we get a bullish reversal in the Aussie Swiss. Because the Kiwi and tracking this one for a while. It looks like it's about to complete its it's impulse leg here. And so I'm watching for a move into this one eight fifty area. And certainly there I'd be looking at the potential for short positions and looking for a quality move the last leg down. Practically the cycle low. So I think we can easily anticipate that if we can get these bearish reversal pattern in around one eight fifty, then certainly I think we can play for one or four on the downside in the coming months. So keeping that one on the radar Kiwi is testing trend line support. Distant swing, key test here now. Note that we have or we are breaking down here. This bullish momentum support looks like it might be failing. So that could forewarn us that the trend lines are going to hold. But again, if we get bullish reversal here, we've got unfinished business to my mind up at this sixty four thirty, sixty four eighty area. So we've just been consolidating in the range. And let's see if we can get reversal patterns to target the completion of this initial leg off the lows. Similar story in the Kiwi Yen, a little bit more defined in terms of range. So we're looking for a test back down to the sixty three ten, sixty three fifteen area bullish reversal patterns get long for the quality objective up at the sixty nine fifty. Yes, so at the moment, I'm short. The only trade I've got on at the moment is the cad yen, which I'm short. It's risk free now. And it looks like it's we've got some Canadian data coming out later and we can expect some volatility. So we'll see where we are after that data. But looking at this stage to try to test the same trend line sport down to seventy five, there may be another pop higher before we're going to move back down again, but bearish the cad yen at the moment. This structure looks corrective versus this decline. I'd be expecting new loads monthly be what bearish again. You can see the contraction in terms of volatility bands making it making it tricky in the in the center, you know, the high volume node in terms of the triangle, central triangle. So finally, I'm going to finish up with a couple of charts here. I've got the S&P 500 in the correct pattern, like the Aussie, the Aussie and the S&P have been trading in tandem. So I'm looking for twenty seven fifty eight to hold in in the futures here. So we get this move. Then like the Aussie, like a bunch of these other charts, I'm looking for this last leg in this initial correction. We've got a bunch of equality objectives, one, six, one extensions, equidistant swing, seventy one, six cent retracement. And I think once we get up here, then we should see some exhaustion in terms of this initial move off the loads. And again, I've been looking for something like a fifty percent retracement maybe into the summer as we just grind out a correction here. And then we'll see how we're looking in terms of, you know, the economies reopening, what sort of data we're getting in terms of reinfections, etc. But anything in this thirty one forty, thirty one, sixty area bearish reversal patterns, intraday charts. You can also use a game type of a risk reward. But that's what I'm looking for. So I'm going to look to see if I can get an entry on the long side. First of all, at this twenty seven fifty eight area in the coming sessions. And the last chart I'll leave you with is gold. Shev, this is a chart chart of the day today. I'm looking for one more push down into the support to complete a corrected structure here, ABCD pattern. And then I think we get the move higher. Pay attention as we test the quality objective versus this structure here. An equidistant swing. And we also have the one two seven extension of this this last leg down here. So. Watching how we trade if we trade up into the 1766 area, because this could this could cap things. But if we get through there, then I'm looking for 1850 as the next upside objective. So watching it now, I think we get it. You know, we test this trend line and we get this one last swing low. That's an opportunity to get in on the long side. So I've showed a bunch of charts there. I hope that's been useful for you. Does does anyone have any questions at this stage? Guys, you do. You can type them into the chat or a chart. You want me to look at that might not have covered. And I'm happy to cover that for you. Um. They are day on that's that's a topic. That would be a little bit too tricky to cover right now in terms of the time I've got left in this webinar. If you want to drop me an email, I can send you information on how option expires impact the effects market. Essentially, it's to do with hedging by the options providers. So mainly the big banks that if if price is trading in and around the options strike, then if they're trading through those levels, they have to hedge in the spot market to cover potential losses. And that's what that's what creates the kind of magnetism of these. You know, when I say options levels, I'm talking, you know, they need to be in excess of well, excess of a billion dollars to be to prove magnetic in the market. This week, like I said, we've had 12 billion dollars in euro optionality between 1,750 and 109. And you can see how the prices at this point has been penned in by those options. So pet engines, the bigger strikes is my advice. Certainly if we're trading into them on the upside, potentially it's resistance on the downside, potentially the support. But again, be cognizant of the size. It needs to be at least a billion plus. Any other questions? Euro see? Yeah, I know it's a shopping market. Just want to say, yeah, I mean, again, so you know, this is a bet on the Swiss National Bank. And like I said before, they are, you know, look at the chart in 2015 when they pulled the peg and an all hell broke loose. Technically, we're in a declining wedge. And, you know, you could expect outside from here. But on the bit of, you know, how we're trading at the moment, the weight of the bounce probabilities to the downside. And I did note a while back and I shared this in the chat that there was some big optionality down at 103 in the Euro Swiss for this summer. So, you know, we could still see a further grind lower here. And like I say, the Swiss National Bank are notorious at throwing in the towel. So I won't be relying on them. Any other questions? Anthony, the, yeah, yeah. So in terms of looking at the lower time frame, so, for example, if we just quickly show you something. So this is the daily chart of this, you know, this is this big daily trend line in terms of the Euro. Now, what you can do to try and tighten up your risk reward is you can go to the hourly chart. And you can see we tested just shy of the trend line and we've got a, you know, a reversal here. But to my mind, in terms of, you know, how I look to manage my risk, I need to see a close back above the near term VWAP. So if I'm going to close back above the near term VWAP, this is the daily VWAP of 10834. So if I'm going to close above that, then what I would look to do would be looking at a long position. Risking the swing low and a few pins below it, initially looking to target into the daily VWAP. We've got the daily pivot here. So now this is 1.5 risk return. Like I said, what I'm ultimately looking for is, you know, we've got that. There's 109 options. We've got the range highs here. So again, thinking in terms of range at the moment, by the time we get up into those range highs, if this is my play, then I've got three times risk reward. Does that make sense, Anthony? Yeah, absolutely. OK, if there are any more questions, I'm going to wrap this one up here. I hope it was useful keeping on these these key trend lines and I'll join you all again next week. And like I say, if you want to join me this evening, there's a webinar I put the link in the chat where I will go into a bit more detail about trade pro program. Thanks very much for your time and I hope you found this helpful.

Why I Decided To Take A TEFL Course | ITTT TEFL BLOG
|
Over the last month and a half, I have been completing a TEFL course. I am currently working as an assistant language teacher at a Japanese high school. Overall, I have found the experience to be very useful. The following reasons are why a TEFL course should be completed. Firstly, you gain a better understanding of how English grammar works. Secondly, from my perspective, it has reinforced and improved my current teaching strategies and practices. Thirdly, it gives teachers a structural theoretical framework to create lessons. Finally, completing a TEFL course gives you lesson ideas and activities. For these reasons, it is important to complete a TEFL course.

Why I decided to take a TEFL course Over the last month and a half, I have been completing a TEFL course. I am currently working as an assistant language teacher at a Japanese high school. Overall, I have found the experience to be very useful. The following reasons are why a TEFL course should be completed. Firstly, you gain a better understanding of how English grammar works. Secondly, from my perspective, it has reinforced and improved my current teaching strategies and practices. Thirdly, it gives teachers a structural theoretical framework to create lessons. Finally, completing a TEFL course gives you lesson ideas and activities. For these reasons, it is important to complete a TEFL course. English grammar From my experience probably the most important thing I will take from the TEFL course is a newfound understanding of how English functions and its grammar rules. Being a native speaker of English I, for the majority of the time, do not need to think about how to create language as it comes naturally to me. The most basic example of this is making verbs past tense. For instance, when turning a regular verb like work or sleep into the past tense all you need to do is add add work becomes worked while sleep becomes slept. Conversely, irregular verbs like go or swim have their own specific past tense word that you have to memorize. There is no specific rule. Go changes to went and swim changes to swam. This is just one example of the grammar rules that I was not aware existed before completing my TEFL course. There are many more examples of grammar that I learned and this is why you should complete a TEFL course. Developing new skills Because I have currently been teaching for one year and a half there have been some things that I have already learned by myself. A positive of completing a TEFL course has meant that I have been able to reinforce or gain a deeper understanding of some things that I was already aware of. For example, I currently teach at a high school in Japan. Although many teachers find it hard to get some students to be active and engage in class, particular in Japan schools this is one of the main issue teachers face. When I first started teaching, I would often find it difficult to get students to volunteer to actively communicate during class. After some time though I quickly learned some tricks to get the students to be more active. Some of the strategies I employ are using pair work, lots of controlled practice, role playing and little prizes for students who contribute. Some of these are described as good strategies in the TEFL course I just completed. It was nice to have this reinforced to me. Designing lesson plans Being given a framework for structuring lessons and corresponding activities is also a good reason to complete a TEFL course. The lesson planning framework this TEFL course advance is the Activate Study Engage Framework. Broadly speaking, in the Activate stage the teacher is meant to start getting the students thinking in English. In the study phase, the teacher introduces a new language point and gets the students to study them. While in the Activate phase the teachers focus on building fluency. During this time students are often given more flexibility to experiment and communicate with the language they already know or have just studied. Before doing the TEFL course, I already loosely structured my lessons around this framework. Now, however, I have a concrete framework and theory to base my lessons around, which I do not have before. Getting Teaching Ideas Furthermore, the TEFL course also gave me activities and lesson plans ideas to help teach certain language points for each of the engage, study, activate phases. For example, if you want to teach the third person present simple, the TEFL course advices to play engage activities like find someone who or questionnaires. This is one of the things I will find most helpful leading forward and will constantly refer back to my notes and TEFL course materials moving forward. Are you ready for your TEFL course? Ultimately, the TEFL course was a positive experience. I learned many things about teaching English as a foreign language. My reasons for completing a TEFL course were, firstly, you gain a better understanding of how English grammar works. Secondly, from my perspective, it has reinforced my current teaching practices. Thirdly, it gives a structural theoretical framework to create lessons. Finally, completing a TEFL course gives you lesson ideas and activities.

I'm an American history teacher. No, I am not a biology teacher. I know a good bit about the heart. They're at least mine and the way it works. I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a heart murmur. Apparently when my blood goes in and out of my heart, it kind of hits off of each other rather than it going in and out unencumbered the way it's supposed to. And then my heart muscle thickens a little bit as a result of all that and it can cause a ventricular, ventricular tachycardia, which is where the bottom chamber beats on its own. And if it does it that way for a considerable period of time, that, you know, I could be in trouble. When I went to him, he said I had like an 8% chance. I don't even think it was 10% of having VTEC. And as a result of that, they wanted me to get a defibrillator put in. I had the defibrillator put in and as a result, I'm actually still here talking to you right now because I was walking my daughter to school and I had this really weird like lightheadedness feeling and the kind of weird sensation in my chest and I tried to catch my breath and I couldn't do it. So I told her to go along and the defibrillator went off. It actually went off four times. Maybe if I didn't have this, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. There's a good chance of that for sure. I always tell Dr. Wang he saved my life. He has a story about a teacher that he had that died when he was in third grade. He had had the teacher in first grade and he told me the story and he said he became a doctor because of that. And so I thought that was really cool.

Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali, welcome to a new week in my life. It is Monday and we're starting off the week strong. I just feel really, really good about this week. Last week, I was everywhere. My brain was so scattered and I just feel like I couldn't focus on what needed to be done and I just feel like this week is going to be a very productive week and I do have quite a bit of like campaigns that I'm working on and I also have some shoots this week which will be fun because I bought a new lens recently and I have only used it like twice so far so I really, really want to just use it a little bit more and kind of like play around with it. But if you guys are new here, I'm a 25 year old living in Austin, Texas and I'm a photographer and I do content creation at full time. Every week I post these week in my life on Sundays and then I try to do another vlog or like a sit down video throughout the week. I also want to make that like one of my biggest goals this week is to do a sit down video of some sort. I have so many ideas and I don't know why I haven't like done it yet because I was so good at it in the beginning of the year and they're honestly just so fun for me because I can be a little bit more creative with like the title cards and all that stuff. I feel like I haven't done an Austin like video in so long but also if there's specific sit down videos that you guys would want to watch please let me know. You can DM me on Instagram, comment them down below. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. This morning I woke up, took out Sophie and then pretty much cleaned the whole house because tonight I usually have friends over for Bachelorette. I feel like people have been so busy these past few weeks like every one of my friends has something different going on. Most of it's moving, moving in and moving out. So I feel like everyone's just been a little bit all over the place. So it'll be really nice to just like reunite and I kind of want to make something for Bachelorette night because I feel like I always like do a new recipe but I have not decided yet. So I'm still going to be thinking about that but I am going to meet a friend at Two Hands on South Congress. I'm probably just gonna get a matcha but I do want to eat like a piece of toast before I go because I feel like every time I have caffeine and there's not food in me, like it is not. It is not a vibe. Here's a little fit check for the day. This bodysuit is the ribbed bodysuit from Abercrombie. It is such a good basic to have and then these jeans are from Zara. Shoes are from Dolce Vita. They're like kind of like working socks but more platformy and have like a cool texture on them. And then this bag is from Symbono but I've been literally obsessed with these jeans lately. I feel like I'm wearing them with every outfit but it's giving brats but I kind of like it because they're so long that they kind of like get that flared look at the ends. And I think I told you guys this in my last vlog but I usually cut them but now I'm like, I kind of like the look of them being so long on me. Best butter ever, so good. Just pulled up to Barton Creek Mall and I'm gonna go inside and shop at Express for a campaign. I have a $100 gift card which I feel like might not be that much and I feel like for campaigns usually they'll just like gift you everything that you need. I feel like that's what I'm used to. So I'm even having like one coming up that you have to purchase all the products on your own and I'm like, what in the world like that? It's just weird because obviously that comes out of like what you're getting from the company like your paycheck kind of. So I don't know, I don't understand that. I don't know why brands are doing that now but that's okay because one of the products that I have to get are slack pants and I honestly love wearing those kind of pants. I feel like I said this recently but I'm just kind of trying to find more pants that are not denim because I just kind of want to switch it up and they're just a little bit more comfortable. So starting off with Morphe I actually really, really needed a brow pencil because I've been using a brow pen and basically you have to be like super precise with it and sometimes it could look a little bit more darker and heavier than I would like it to be. So I just wanted to get a pencil and try a pencil again to give me those like lighter looking brows. They still do need to fill them in on this brow. There's like no hair on the bottom. It's so annoying but it like literally never goes back even if I try to use castor oil. So anyways, I got a brow pencil I think it's like in the darkest color. So I'm gonna try that out and then I saw Ariana Grande's line at the front of the store and I was like, what the heck is that? Cause it looked really cool and apparently it was like a liquid eyeshadow which I literally use a liquid eyeshadow every single day and there was a brown color. So this is what it looks like. It's kind of like a lipstick. It looks like a liquid lipstick but it's for like your eyes and I love liquid eyeshadows because again, it just makes things faster. So I will like the one I use right now. I put it all over my eye, just blend it out with a beauty blender. Eyeshadow is done for the day. For some reason, like if I don't have any kind of like color on my eyes, it just looks really weird and like something is missing on my face. So I have to do some kind of like a nude brown eyeshadow. So anyways, this is what it looks like. It's almost like a contour. It looks like a contour stick thing. I don't even know. But I'm very, very excited to try that out. I know Morphe, or not Morphe, Nix. I know Nix has very similar ones to that. And then I went to Abercrombie and saw the cargoes. I feel like these are going to be, well I feel like they're already super, super trendy right now, very Kim Possible vibes. I gotta say it's large. I'm gonna try them on and see if they fit. I didn't really wanna do the whole fitting room thing because I had already went to Express and I needed that stuff to fit, so I have to do it there. Then I saw this bodysuit and I love like gray tank tops or anything like that. I just feel like it looks so like casual, but put together. And it has like kind of a unique style. So I'm gonna try this on as well. At Express, I'm filming a campaign on these pants. They're called the Editor Pant and I showed clips in the fitting room, but they're kind of like a flare. They have like a bunch of different styles. In the contract, it said that they were going to give me a gift card for $100 and I feel like these pants are, these pants are $80 themselves. So I was like, wait, what the hell? And they wanted me to get kind of like a full outfit. So I was like, okay, that's a little weird, but the gift card ended up being $200. I was like, hell yeah. So I got this bustier thing, corset. And then I was going to get that like silky canny thing, but then I saw this sweater and I just felt like this would be a little bit better because I want to do like a work to date night tech talk. And so I felt like this was definitely more appropriate for the work part. And I didn't have to like get another piece, like a blazer or something over that canny. So that is what I got at the mall today. It's so weird to like see other people your age at the mall because you're like, why aren't you at work? And then I'm like, they're probably thinking the same thing. I guess people work from home. So like maybe on their lunch break, like they could quickly go to the mall. I'm going to find a sound for the tech talk I need to film for Express. I think they have like sounds that I have to pick from that they chose. So I'm going to go on my computer, look at that really quick. And it is already two, my friends come over usually after 6.30. So I feel like this day is flying by, but it's been productive so far, so I'm happy. I am honestly terrified because I thought these were high wasted and they probably are, but they're honestly so big on me. I got a large, I'm usually a large in stuff, especially like pants because I'm a size 10. I think they're supposed to be low wasted, but it's not giving at least on me. I mean, it looks great on other people, but I'm going to have to return these, which is kind of sad because I love the baggy look. Also, I think I'm going to return this. I'm also sad about that. This is just like pissing me off, how it's like loose up here, which was like tight end to me. And I just feel like I thought this thickness would like look a lot better than it does. It's giving Kim possible. Not in like the worst way, but I just don't know if it looks great on my body type, but I do have other baggy pants that are just not this like low, low rise. So good to know. Oh, maybe it's adjustable. Okay, okay, wait, give me a second. Okay, so if I tied it any tighter, it would like kind of bunch up, so that would be weird. So it's still like a low rise fit, I'm guessing. I mean, they fit a little bit better, but like, I don't know. I don't think this is for me. I really don't. I think if it was high-waisted, it would be a hundred line sweater. Or I could just get a medium and then they could be tighter and I could wear them higher because like the crotch is like, it looks like it's a high-waisted pant. I am so proud of myself. I got so much done today. Told you guys it was gonna be a good week. I feel like I just need to keep saying that to myself so I believe it and like almost manifest a good week, but like, obviously I have to put in the work too. Like I can't be lazy. I mean, I guess that could be a good week too, like a relaxing week, but honestly, I just need to pick the pace up on some things. So I got everything filmed, edited and submitted. So feeling really accomplished right now. And I just went to H.E.B. because I wanted to get some ingredients to make some pizzas because when Ryan was here, I made my own dough and I just froze like two big things of dough. So I want to use them. And I literally bought this basil. Like it feels like not that long ago, probably it probably was like last week, but like it's already going bad. And I like even put it in this water thingy. I was just like, what the heck? I'm like very sad that it went bad, but at least I have a few eaves because I wanted to do margarita pizza. And I did forget to get like fresh basil, but thank God there's like a few eaves that are good to go. So got that. Even this mint is going bad so fast, it sucks. I'm just gonna roll it out on the counter. I might regret this later when I'm cleaning the counters, but it's okay. I feel like this just works a little bit better so I can like roll it out as big as I want it. I think I'm gonna probably split this up into maybe even three because last time I thought I was making it pretty thin and it was honestly so thick. Hopefully these bowls are enough. I think they will be. It is Tuesday, it is 3 p.m. And I am really needing a midday pick me up. I feel like I've been on a huge matcha kick lately which isn't surprising for me, but I think I want some shy today. So we're gonna do that. I spent the whole morning working on pulling design info from like other websites and Pinterest for my new photography website. This is like super new, but honestly I was looking at my photography website the other day because I wanted to put out like contact forms or like wait lists for seniors and grads and everything like that. And I was looking at my site and I was like, oh my God, it is so bad. I literally hired some guy off of Fiber to like do it custom and like I drew on my iPad back when it was like super popular. And it was like right when COVID hit. I remember because I never did like a big launch because I was like waiting for the right time and I never launched it. And I was just kind of sad, you know, like anyways, now I'm so over it. It is like not very professional looking honestly. And I want to look professional because I feel like I am a pretty well-established photographer here in Austin. So I wanted to just like switch things up. So I was kind of like thinking about it. And then my photographer friend in Dallas, her name's Karishma, she does like branding and bloggers and her photos are so good. Apparently she's just started, which I'm mind blown by all these photographers. Maybe not just started, but like, you know, a couple of years under her belt. All these photographers that kind of just start, I'm just like, how do you look like you've been doing it for 10 years? Like it is insane. These people are just so good. Anyways, she messaged me when I put it on my story because I asked for recommendations for people who do branding and websites. And she was like, we all literally do it for you because I want it for my portfolio because she is going to like add that as a service I'm guessing. And I was like, okay, but my website's on a WordPress and I was worried that it wasn't like the same thing if she wants to do mine on show it. Maybe that's where she designs it and then someone transfers over my WordPress to show it. I'm not really sure exactly. But first day of just kind of like getting my ideas together, what I like, what I want on my website. And so that's really exciting because I just feel like that needed to happen even though I like, you know, paid kind of a good chunk of money to get my website done like a couple of years ago. But that's okay. It's an investment into my business. And I don't know. I just honestly feel embarrassed in my website. Like I literally am going to pull it off my Instagram and just like put a link tree with a Google form for now. But she also said that my site will be done mid-September or end of September, which tomorrow is September 1st. So that's kind of crazy because I feel like website designs and stuff like that takes so long. So I'm just very, very, very thankful for her. And if you guys are in Dallas and you need a photographer, hit her up because seriously, her photos are great. I bet she does like families and couples and all that stuff too. But that was fun to just like get creative this morning. And then just some other admin stuff, submitting content and posting content. So I've just been on my computer all day, which is honestly fine because it is a rainy day here. I actually had a shoot tonight and I was like, I think we should probably reschedule because like sometimes it clears up, especially at the end of the day. But I was like, we can reschedule or we can look at the weather around like 5 p.m. to decide. So she just was like, let's just reschedule. And I was like, I'm glad you said that because now I can have a lazy day. And this whole day I've been working from my desk and my like actual office chair. All last week I was working from the couch and I just know there's such a big difference in productivity levels when I am not on the couch. But because it's raining and stuff, I really, really, really want to be on that couch and just like watch Netflix. I also have learned that I maybe am a Netflix person because this whole time I thought I was a YouTube person. I don't know, I feel like YouTube is just getting a little stale for me. I'm not getting like super excited about anyone I watch. If you guys know of any YouTuber bloggers that you like love, like aesthetic blogs, long blogs, interesting blogs, but also I like the mundane stuff. Like right now I'm kind of into Rachel Ratke's vlogs because I love her style. I think her style is super cool. I obviously love J.C. Marie. She does like Sunday vlogs. Those are super fun. She lives in California. I feel like her life is just so perfect. I feel like anything that gives me like an escape, not that I have much to escape from but just like a little, you know, like, oh, this is so fun to be in another world I guess. But I guess now that I have more time, now that Ryan's not here, I have more time to like watch Netflix and stuff and I have like a whole list of things I need to get through. Like there's new movie with, I wanna say her name is Lily Reinhardt but I'm not sure if that's her name. The blonde girl from Riverdale and apparently that movie is based in Austin. So I think I will be putting that on tonight. And then my favorite graphic tee, it's from Free People and it's probably my most expensive graphic tee but I love it so much. I really, really wanna get just one more maybe. I live in like big t-shirts like this. For chai, I've probably shown this a bunch of times but this I wanna use, Tazo Organic Chai Latte. And they do have a skinny chai but I tried that one and it just like wasn't sweet enough for me. So I was like, you know what? It's worth it to get just like the normal one. Honestly, I don't really even need caffeine right now because like it's rainy and I just like kinda wanna be lazy. I feel like there's always computer work that I could be doing so I will like get that done. But again, I'm kind of wanting to just wash Netflix. I mean it's three so like, I feel like at five p.m. I'm gonna call it a day and just sit my ass on the couch the rest of the night. I feel so bad when it rains because Sophie, first of all, when it thunderstorms, she is really, really scared. But also obviously I can't really like take her out or if I do take her out, she hates the rain. She hates being like wet I think because she does not like any kind of water except for her bath. She's like kind of fine in the bath. But like if we take her on Ladybird Lake and the whole trail is almost like a bridge pretty much above water and she knows that there's water like on both sides, she'll like freak out and like stop in her place and like not wanna walk. So yeah, she does not like rain falling on her. And then also she can't like play ball outside. But in a weird way, I feel like she feels the rainy vibes because she's been sleeping on my green checkered blanket all morning. She loves that blanket, loves it. And now I know. So whenever I want her to come in my room, I'm gonna like bring that blanket out and like set it up for her all nicely. But then she's like switched her spot and then went back to sleep. Now she's on the couch. She's probably gonna go back to sleep. So I'm like, okay, I feel like you know that it's a rainy day and you wanna chill day too. Yay, I haven't had to try it in a while. I just like wanted something sweet, honestly. And this is kind of like fall flavors. I feel like everyone's freaking out because pumpkin spice is back at Starbucks, I think today. And I don't know, like this sounds really sad, but I don't think I can go to Starbucks without Ryan. Like that's our place, you know? During COVID I swear we had it every single morning which is kind of disgusting of us. But I don't know, I feel so sad if I don't mind drink without Ryan. So I think I have to wait for him to come back and then maybe I can like get my closure. Here's to having a rainy, relaxing day. Welcome to the office setup. I love this blanket so much. It is large, it is so freaking big. I was just sharing it with Sophie. I put some on the floor and some on my lap. Got my iPad propped up, watching YouTube videos on here. Working on my computer. Okay, well maybe the chai didn't work, but drinking my chai and I literally just turned the heat on. Am I crazy? I'm just feeling all the fall vibes because I just took Sophie out and realized that it's 75 degrees outside so it's kind of like cold and I was freezing the hallways because they didn't make it really cold, which is great because it's usually really hot here. But yeah, I just thought I needed to turn the heat on and I snatched out of Ryan. Ryan says I'm crazy. Oh wait, wait, it's literally the same temperature as Georgia but obviously it's raining so it's pretty humid outside. I can't remember which vlog I showed you guys, my notion, like calendar and planner. Could have been yesterday, honestly. I feel like they all blur together but separating my personal tasks from my like sponsorship content is so, so important. Like I don't know why I took so long to do it because I feel like I'm on top of everything. I'm even submitting content earlier than I have to. I just saw this TikTok by this girl, course creator. And basically she said like an easy way to find out keywords or just trending topics is to search through the platform. Like for example, if you want to do like SEO for Pinterest, you type out the word, so let's say matcha and then just the letter A and then that will come up with a bunch of like content ideas or even keywords. And then you do same thing, matcha B, matcha C and then you can literally go to any letter if you wanted to. But that was so smart and mind blowing. Watching my friends Sophie on YouTube and then also just cooking dinner. I'm doing sweet potatoes and chicken again because honestly it was so good that one time I made it so simple but so good. And I just opened this up. I thought I would do a taste test on camera because I haven't tried this olipop flavor before but I've heard this is like the best one that they have. It's strawberry vanilla, so here we go. Okay, interesting. I think I need like to get used to it because it is like a, is it a prebiotic theme Obama? Yeah, prebiotic drink so it's not like sweet soda. I don't know, I don't know. Again, maybe I just need to get used to it but. Okay, for the sweet potatoes I'm just gonna drizzle some olive oil, some garlic powder. I feel like I put this all over everything I eat daily. So we're gonna go pretty heavy with that. And then obviously some salt. And then I think I'm gonna do Italian seasoning. I'm just kind of curious how that would taste. All right, mix it all up. I cannot decide if I wanna do this in the air fryer or should I just do them in the oven because I feel like I want them to be crispy but I don't know if it's gonna take a long time to cook. Now for the chicken. We're pretty much gonna be doing like a very similar seasoning. So garlic powder, salt, paprika. I'm pretty sure I put this coriander on it last time and it was good last time so I'm gonna do it again. Then I drizzle all the oil on them and they were so juicy and good. It is Wednesday, I have my full on grill fit on. This morning I took my car to get my air filled up which is something that I definitely depend on Ryan for when he's here to just like do it for me. I'm gonna like fix it and I was like so nervous to go to the discount tire because I like didn't understand that I didn't have to pay for it and anyways I walked in and it was so packed like everyone was waiting, almost like more packed than the DMV. I was like, oh goodness, like I hope it doesn't take that long because I just need air. Luckily there was like a little air, like little stop just for checking air and I was like, okay, thank God. So I went through that, the guy was super nice and I didn't have to pay for it, I just tipped him but I was like, oh, I didn't know it was this easy. I guess these past years since Ryan's done it, I didn't even have like a chance to know it was that easy and I always push off getting air in my tires and yes, my tires do like go low very often. I don't know why, I think they're fine. Like he checked the tires, he said it was fine but I did that this morning so I feel very productive and I got gas. I also filmed a campaign and edited it and sent it to the brand and they already said that they loved it and honestly I feel like my reels lately are just like even TikToks because pretty much all my sponsorships are coming in through just TikTok and reels. I get so excited to create that content and it honestly comes like kind of easy to me because I've been doing it for so long. Like I'm literally a photographer and videographer not that I do video for clients like as much as photo but anyways, I've been in the industry for a while so I feel like it comes very easy to me and it's so fun for me to do. Sometimes I cannot even comprehend like the fact that I'm able to make money doing this and making content for some of the best brands. I actually have the shoes right here that I shot today. These are the new balance. I don't even shoot, I don't know the number of them but I wore them out today and that was not smart because I want to try to keep them super, super clean but these remind me of the Hoka shoes and I have been dying to get the white Hoka so I'm like, this is literally perfect. So again, I'm gonna try to keep them clean. Maybe they'll be my like treadmill walking shoe. I was just kind of like reflecting over the past week of being alone, especially for my first week of being alone and I am like very proud of myself even though it was just a week. Well, it hasn't been a week. I feel like it's been a little longer than a week but I just feel like I was going to be like so scared when Ryan left and just like, I don't know like really paranoid and everything but I haven't been and I think that's just me kind of not being dependent on Ryan to keep me safe because obviously like we've been together for almost 10 years now and he is like my safe space but now I'm thinking like, oh my God and I knew that I was a little too dependent on him but like even just like for my safety like sometimes I wouldn't even be aware of my surroundings and I'm starting to like obviously, you know open my eyes a little bit more and just be aware of my surroundings because it's just me and Sophie so I kind of have to do that and I just feel a little bit more present in the moment which is a good feeling honestly and that is my own fault for just being so dependent on Ryan all these years. So that is one thing I learned about myself and I'll definitely do these little check-ins like kind of every week if I have something to say obviously but yeah, I feel like it's been like honestly not bad living alone and I've been able to watch Netflix and not that like we don't watch Netflix together and honestly he watches a lot of the shows that I like so I can't complain in that sense but I've been even cooking at home more and eating at home and I checked my weight this morning because I don't do like every single day but I was just kind of curious because I feel like I haven't really been snacking lately and yeah, I've been like kind of eating a little healthy and I literally lost like some weight and I'm just, I'm very happy about it. Ryan's coming back to visit late September and I kind of want to do like a challenge with myself. I haven't really been sticking to like a crazy fitness gym schedule and I do want to get back into like walking. I've always wanted to try doing like 10K steps a day like for X amount of days but I don't know if that's like unrealistic because it does take a while to do but I'm going to think about it and I'll keep you guys updated. I just feel like I haven't really been super motivated in the fitness side of things but I feel like I again, haven't really been snacking and have been eating like more on the healthy side so I'm kind of proud of myself for that. It's a little bit later in the day and the sun is coming in beautifully. I really want to take advantage of it and also I have makeup on so I feel like I should be creating content but I do have some packages downstairs so I'm going to go get them and we can unbox them together. Okay, here is my new blender. It is from the company Beast and it is just so beautiful. I got the white color. I think it comes in gray and black as well. So apparently this is like a water bottle that you can put I think fruit in here and it kind of like infuses the water or you can obviously put your smoothies in it too. I am so pumped. I don't really want a smoothie right now so I'll definitely wait till tomorrow to use it and try it out but I'm very excited about it. Now my counter looks crazy so I'm gonna clean up. I'm starving so I'm going to heat up leftovers that I made yesterday just like the chicken and sweet potatoes. It's pretty good and it fills me up and then I started a new show called Echoes. It's like this thriller kind of thing. It kind of reminds me of Gone Girl. I've literally only seen like first episode or something but basically like there's twin sisters and one goes missing and then they like switch places and she's trying to find out like all these secrets so it seems pretty good. So I'm actually very excited to start like really deep diving because I feel like the first and like second episode when you get into a TV show it's just like you're like, okay, what the heck is happening? But then by the third one you're like holy shit like hooked, you know? My makeup haven't done my hair yet. I don't really have that much time though. So I might just blow dry it really quick and do straight because I'm going to meet my friend at Swedish Hill and I don't think I've ever actually gotten anything from there. I remember Ryan getting like coffee one time but I'm very excited to try it out and it's just like this really, really aesthetic cute little coffee shop on the West side and I pretty much got full glam because I wanted to take advantage and take a photo because I actually have some photos that I need to style outfits for. Take photos and send to the brand. So I'm not posting anything for them. I'm just literally taking pictures in the product for like a style outfit. So I don't want to like stress myself out. Thank God I have like a lot of time because I feel like a lot of brand deals lately are like, okay, I'm going to send you the product. Product gets there then like you have to submit the next day and you like don't have that much time and I just feel like it's more enjoyable especially when you're like taking photos outside when you're actually just taking photos of what you're doing on an everyday basis rather than shooting three outfits at a time and like rushing and you know, throwing off your clothes in the car. I mean like that's fun and all and like I do feel very productive and like fulfilled doing that but it's just so much more relaxed when you obviously only have one outfit to shoot and so I'm excited I'm going with my friend Kim. Today I really want to come up with a sit down video. Like I have so many ideas written down but I want to like come up with a whole outline so that when I go to film it it's not so daunting because I feel like I'm so used to vlogging and just like speaking what's on my mind that I feel like it feels like a lot more work when it comes to like the sit down videos but in reality I feel like vlogs are way more work to edit because it's so much longer. I don't want anything to be rushed and I also have some photography stuff to get done today not to shoot but just editing photos. The product I have to shoot for is Mark Fisher boots so we're doing this fall outfit and I feel like I'm going to get looks because it's not fall at all here but it's okay. At least it's a skirt like it's nothing crazy. So the outfits switched up very last minute because I was not feeling the first outfit but I would die for this chunky sweater. It is from misguided yeah from last fall and I bought like a bunch of chunky sweaters and I literally put them in a vacuum sealed bag and they're like sitting on the top of my closet. So I'm very excited for the day where I feel like it's cold enough to open that up and like start wearing like full on fall clothes. I'm a little worried I'm going to be sweating but at least I have like a body suit so I can literally just take it off and wear this if I needed to. I also decided to not do my hair because I really did not have the time but the clock clip I love. This is from K.O.V. Essentials. I'm pretty sure it's just Cove Essentials. I found the brand on TikTok. It is seriously the best clock clip I've ever owned. I've always gotten them on Amazon and they just like feel a little bit cheap but this one is so sturdy. Like they've literally done tests of like, I'm pretty sure like running it over with the car and they don't break. It is insane. And also like I feel like it never comes off my head. It is amazing. I love this thing so much. I have like two little ones too. They are pricey but I feel like if you, you know, don't lose it then it's worth it because I literally wear this every single day. I'm here with Kim. She was literally just walking because she lives like in this area and I was like, get in the car. And then we can just like go park. I was confused. Yeah, I know. I like beeped at you and I don't know if you saw me but like I said, we're going to Swedish Hill. We're going to take her photos first, get them done. Cause I feel like both of us have like, we said you brought a blazer. Yeah. I know. It's a chunky sweater. Still very hot in Austin. So we're going to try to shoot some fall content. Even though it's like 90 degrees. So yeah. We found this really cute space outside of Swedish Hill and we're shooting here, sweating like dogs because we chose for the fall pics, you know, gotta do what you guys do. Kim was raving about this. Can you tell us what it is? Okay, this is the couscous salad. Do I look like a sweaty mess? No. So this is the couscous salad at Swedish Hill and it is so delicious. Check it out. It has like the onions, tomatoes, obviously couscous and it is to die for. So it's like smelly. You have to try it. It's so good. And I got a ginger lemonade, actually ginger sparkling lemonade. It is seriously so good and refreshing cause that's what we need right now. And then you got to tie. Got to try tea latte. It's like go to a drink. So let's get it. Girl outfit that I was in yesterday, but it's really comfy and it's not dirty. So I just put it back on, but it is 728 and I'm going to reheat the same leftover as I've had for the past like, I don't know what maybe like two, three nights. I'm proud of myself cause I really freaking want sushi. You know, what, what are you doing? So just like making laps around the island. I don't know if you can hear her little stuff. Okay, so I missed having ride around because like, you know, we would just get sushi anytime the heart wanted it. Right? But it's probably a good thing for like one my wallet and also just like health wise cause I feel like we ate it a lot. Like the roles I would get weren't the healthiest. So I don't know if I already shared this with you guys, but I really, really, really want to try to do like a September challenge, like almost like a fitness challenge, but I don't want to like be too hard on myself. So like, I don't want to talk about it like too much. It's more for me, I guess. And like, I want to, you know, look really good and feel really good when I see Ryan again. So he even bought like a planet fitness membership and he's killing it in the gym. It's only been two days, still, that's a good start. And so this morning I did a form workout that Sammy Clark's app. I think I found Sammy Clark on TikTok or YouTube, but anyways, I watched them both. And she is a fitness instructor. Basically, she like has this app and I subscribed to it like a month ago and then I like kind of like didn't do it for a while. And I was like, okay, if I'm paying for this app, like I literally need to do it. So I think I'm going to try to do that or like if I really don't feel like doing that, I'm going to just try to like walk on the treadmill. I really just want to get like 30 minutes of exercise every single day. Also I need to be active and I want to, you know, get fit and lose a little bit of weight. I don't know if that's controversial. So trigger warning, I'm definitely not at my ideal weight and especially since Ryan's gone, I want to take advantage of this time and like eat cleaner. Not that I'm like blaming him, but like if you have a boyfriend, you know, like it is so hard to say no if he's like, oh, do you want to play? It's so hard guys. Like I rarely say no. And when I do, I feel like so proud of myself. Like that is like my biggest accomplishment that week saying no to Chick-fil-A or Starbucks in the mornings. Since he's not here, I don't have that much of temptation and all that kind of stuff. So I'm not really counting calories. I did do that at one point and like honestly it worked. A calorie deficit works. And I know again, that's controversial, but it really worked for me. Unfortunately, I gained it all back because I just started eating like, you know, how I usually eat, which is not good. And I know it's a lifestyle and all that kind of stuff. So I am trying to like choose better, healthier options like today. I wanted something, what are you doing Sophie? Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, what are you doing? Like I was saying today, I was craving something like salty, sweet. I don't even know. But I grabbed like a little yogurt and had a granola with it. And I was proud of myself. Like it's the small wins, especially if you're so used to eating one way, you know? But I wanted to get back into like trying different recipes because like I know it's only been what, two, two, one week since he's been gone. But living alone, I just feel like I'm not really fulfilled like I was like cooking for someone else. But I have that chicken that I'm gonna reheat again. But I think I wanna do something a little different. I have spinach, so I'm gonna do garlic spinach. I'm gonna reheat the chicken and then I'm gonna make a lemon honey tahini. I've heard about this also a while ago and I just looked it up again and everyone in the comments are like, oh my God, I tried this, it's amazing. So I think we're gonna go for it. Let's do this. I'm gonna start with tahini and I'm following a recipe by Rachel Wolfson on TikTok. So she said three to four tablespoons of tahini, I believe. It's a very interesting texture. I think I've only tried it once on its own and I don't think I like loved it. And then I'm just gonna eyeball the honey. So she said one tablespoon, I guess it's already in there. And then she said a fourth of a squeezed lemon. Not really sure what a fourth of a squeezed lemon is, so I'll just call it that. Okay, so I definitely thought that there was gonna be more spinach on the bottom. I swear every time I take a handful or even more than a handful, I'm like left with nothing when I cook it down. But this is what it looks like, looks pretty good. And I thought we could do a little live taste test. Honestly guys, that is like taking my chicken to the next level. It gives it a little bit of sweetness. I kind of said it was like a peanut butter lemony kind of taste, I don't know, very nutty taste, I would say, but I'm gonna drizzle a little bit more. It's so good. It is Friday, we made it to the end of the week and I got up this morning not feeling so great. So I did skip the gym because I made plans to swap photos with my friend today at 10.30 a.m. It's currently like 10 something, so she's on her way over here because we're just gonna take my car and probably drive around somewhere. But I still have to get just two more photos for that one sponsorship for Mark Fisher. And I'm gonna get it done today. And that will be, what day is it? Like six days early, like hell yeah, that makes me feel so good. I feel like having a separate content calendar has literally made my life so much easier and so much less stressful. So we're probably gonna get a car shot and then we're gonna go to possibly the East Austin Hotel because they just have like a neutral wall. Honestly, I'm back in like my neutral backgrounds phase. I don't wanna say era because I know everyone's getting like annoyed with that word. I'm definitely into it again because I just want there to be like a lot more background space on my feed, especially because I feel like majority of my content on Instagram is reels now. And you have to upload like a skinny photo like the 16, what is it? Nine by 16 photo dimensions. And so it crops out a lot. So now when I tell people to take photos of me, I'm like, just go back, go all the way back. And it never used to be like that. So it is so funny how the trends change. Tonight I am going to one of my favorite restaurants in Austin, like not even joking. I'm so glad my friends picked this place. It's called the Peacock and it's at the proper hotel. And I'm really, really hoping we get to Zurich. That's like one of the main reasons. I love that place so much. We're at the top of the garage and move your head. Look at the city. I don't know if you can see it. It's probably not. And look at me. Yeah. We're going to take some car photos. I literally just had to quick clean out my car. It was very embarrassing, but all good. Okay, let's do it. We're dead. We're slutty. And what? It's like 11 something. Yeah, we did good. Yeah. I think we did amazing. Oh, I feel like now I just need some lemonade. I was just telling her, I feel like every time I give the ounce of dehydration, I'm like, I need lemonade. My revolve package just got here. So I thought we'd do a little unboxing slash try and haul. They're pretty much just like going out tops because I feel like I'm going to be going out more. Here's the first one. It is this nude one-shouldered bodysuit. It is such good quality. It's kind of like that thick material that you feel like it's sucking you in. So I'm not wearing a bra with this. And it also has a clasp and a zipper on the side. And next we have this really cool checkered shirt. This is probably the one I was most excited about. Also, it's the priciest out of this whole haul, but everything is under $100. I'm pretty sure. The top kind of cuts off at a weird length though. It's not a bodysuit. So like I just tucked it into my pants. You could totally wear it as a normal shirt, but love the high neck. Here's the next top. It's super like strappy and has a lot of cutouts on the back, as you can see. But I thought this part was going to be like a little bit wider because there's stuff like scars right here that you can kind of see. So I don't know if I'm loving it, but I was really excited about this one too. So I'm sad this doesn't like perfectly fit. I think it's still cool. Like I kind of want to keep it because I feel like it's cool, but I don't know if it like actually flatters very well. I always do this. I always forget to show you guys one or two things because I'm like literally creating all this content. But since I am creating all the content, I have a video to show for it. So here is the top. It's from Free People and it is so cute. I love it so much. I just need to figure out like how to adjust it because I don't think I could tie the thing in the back like how I wanted it to by myself. So I might need some help with that, but it is really cute. Next up is just a white tank top. Honestly, I feel like my most worn outfit, you guys have probably seen it in the vlogs, is a white tank top of some sort with high waisted pants or shorts or jeans, whatever fits the vibe that day. So I wanted to add to my collection also because some of the ones that I wear like all the time are getting a little bit dingy and this is really good quality. So I'm happy with it. It's 6.30 and my friend is on her way to pick me up because we're gonna go to dinner. The girls actually wanna go to Ava and see if we can get in, but if it has a long way, then we'll just like keep a reservation. Then we're probably gonna go out. I literally packed tums like in a little plastic baggie in my purse and obviously my lactate pill. Some of the foods I eat, I don't even know if dairy is actually in them. I just take it to be on the safe side, especially when I eat and then go out. Like I hate doing that because I feel so shitty. I just wanna go home and like lay on the couch because I'm in a food coma. So this time I think I'm just gonna get like an appetizer or something, nothing too heavy because I have done that and then I go out and I'm just like hating my life. So it sucks. I'm gonna end the week in my life here. I'm gonna film the rest on my phone, but if you guys are wanting to keep up with me in real time, you can go follow me on Instagram and TikTok. They're both so underscore gnarly without the G and I'll see y'all in the next video.

The battle for White votes in the South

Who is really the party of slavery?
That's a complicated question to answer. In this episode, @TraeCrowderLiberalRedneck looks into why the history of slavery through the lens of party lines can be confusing and how the "Southern strategy" comes into play.
The American South is a complicated place, and we know a lot less about it than we think we do. And many things about the South that seem to make no sense are less confounding in context. The reality is the history of many Southern things has been manipulated, hidden, or just plain ignored. Trae Crowder guides us through the pride points, failures, and contradictions in "Southin' Off."

Democrats are the party of slavery is a sentence that's both factually accurate and completely misleading. It's accurate because, yes, Democrats supported slavery in the 19th century and, yes, Lincoln was the first Republican president. But it's misleading because our two major political parties have changed drastically in the last 150 years. Because here's another completely factual statement. A Democratic president signed the Civil Rights Act 100 years later. A Democrat signing the Civil Rights Act was a huge moment in shaping our modern political parties. Because it shifted how the two sides would approach issues of race and equality to this very day. And my part of the country played a huge role in that realignment. See, white Southern Democrats weren't in love with the more progressive members of the party handing out all this equality to black folks. So they started to leave the party. And when they did, Republicans were waiting. But you might still be wondering why all this happened. Why did the Democrats suddenly care about black voters? Why did the Republicans, who had previously been the party of civil rights, decide to embrace all these racist campaign tactics? To explain that, I'll have to give you some history. First, I'll say something obvious. Things were different in the 1800s. Cars weren't invented yet, people hunted with muskets, and Larry King was still on his first marriage. The University of Tennessee wasn't even losing embarrassingly at football yet. So, like I said, things were very different. And that includes our political parties. Democrats were associated with the, you know, essentially the party of white supremacy in the South, where Republicans were the party of business, a small town in America, and the North. So yes, the dominant political party in the South in the 1800s was the Democrats. And the Republicans were formed to oppose slavery. So what's changed since the 1860s? Other than we fought a civil war, ended slavery, and invented spaceships, and hubba-bubba. Well, it's not like there's one single moment where the Democrats hiked the racism football to the Republicans, but there are a series of key turning points. Like in 1948, when Democratic President Harry Truman signed an executive order outlawing segregation in the military, this did not sit well with Southern Democrats. Especially a governor turned senator turned ghoulish skeleton from South Carolina named Strom Thurman. Ol' Strom was the epitome of a Southern Democrat, which meant he was a committed segregationist. Strom was so upset about Truman's armed forces integration efforts, he left the Democratic Party and launched a presidential campaign to defeat Truman on a states' rights platform. He called the new party the Dixie Crats. There's that Southern connection right in the name. He lost, of course, as Southerners who secede while claiming their states' rights were under attack often do. Despite the Strom and drain, Democrats with national political ambitions would continue to advocate for civil rights. Whether this was the result of purely cynical political maneuvering or genuine sympathy for the cause is up for debate. He's a strong opponent of civil rights. He blocked about every civil rights measure. But in the mid-1950s, he realizes that he's going to have to change his stance on civil rights. It was going to go anywhere. He helps move the 1957 civil rights act through Congress. He helps get it passed. He had come around to support civil rights, but really for cynical reasons. The Civil Rights Act and integration caused a huge backlash in the South among socially conservative voters. In response to this exodus of white Southern Democrats, Republican politicians developed what's now known as the Southern Strategy. I'll let an expert explain. The key person here is Barry Goldwater, who's a senator from Arizona. In 1961, Barry Goldwater goes down to Atlanta to speak to a gathering of Southern governors. And he says, we're not going to win the black vote in 1964 and 1968, so we ought to stop chasing it. Instead, we need to go after white Southern conservatives, and that's a vote we can win. So the idea here is to just go all in on the Southern white vote. In 1981, Republican political consultant Lee Atwater was caught on tape laying out how Republicans would appeal to white Southern Democrats prejudices without saying anything too explicitly racist. Just listen how casually this strategy rolls off his tongue. You start out in 1954 by saying, ****, ****, ****. By 1968, you keep saying that **** that hurts your back, so you say stuff like forced bussing, states lights and all that stuff. That bike right ahead, blacks get hurt worse than whites. LBJ was aware of what Republicans were doing, by the way. There's a quote from him that frames this hustle perfectly. If you can convince the lowest white man that he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. It seems like it would make the most sense to align with people that are in your same socio-economic group. But, you know, why do that when there's an easily identifiable way to make yourself seem better than someone? Say there's three guys hanging out, like a white dude, black dude, and a rich dude, and there's like 10 cookies. A rich dude takes nine cookies and turns to the white dude and is like, that black dude's trying to take your cookie. Yep, yep. So yes, Southern Democrats were enthusiastically forced slavery in the 1850s. Almost as enthusiastically as Republicans turned against integration in the 1960s and 70s. Yeah, parties are like people. They change. When I was 18, I thought corn was the new Led Zeppelin. That barely tells you anything about me in 2020. It definitely doesn't tell you anything about what my grandchildren think about corn. The lesson should be to continually question who's on the right side of history now so we can figure it out and join them.

And really be caught open. And be able to know what you are and why you are looking at my face. And for sure, I'm sure. I'll never show you the whole galaxy. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. So what do you mean? I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. We're still having a lot of fun, but we're still having a lot of fun. Oh. Save us. Put money in the little bag. There you go. Oh, that's good. Please join me in a moment of centering silence so we can be more present in ourselves and with each other in this room. Please join with me in singing our in-gathering hymn. The words are printed in your order of service this morning. Welcome to first Unitarian Society of Madison. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical, and social issues in an accepting and nurturing environment. Unitarian Universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual as together we seek to be a force for transformation and healing in the world. My name is Beth Binhammer, and on behalf of the congregation, I'd like to extend a special welcome to visitors this morning. We are a welcoming congregation, so whoever you are and wherever you are on your life's journey, we celebrate your presence among us this morning. Visitors are encouraged to stay for our fellowship hour after the service. Look for people carrying teal-colored stoneware mugs. These people have special divination about our community and our funness. So they would be happy to talk with you this morning. You can also stop by the information table outside of the library where you can find more information about upcoming events and programs. In this lively, acoustical environment, it can become difficult for some to hear. So if you have a child with you and they're getting a little rambunctious, there's the child haven to my right and out in the commons so you can hear the service quite well. We do have hearing assistance devices available for any people who would find that useful, and you can speak to one of our ushers. This would also be a great time to silence any electronic devices that you have to help with our service this morning. We do have an experienced guide. Nancy Wormuth will be to my right over here if you would like a guided tour of both this sustainably designed addition and also the landmark meeting house. I would like to acknowledge the individuals who have signed up or been recruited this morning to help our service run smoothly. Our sound operator this morning is Mark Schultz, our Greeter March Schweitzer. Greeter was also Hannah Pinkerton, our ushers this morning Anne Smiley, Roz Woodward and Ron Cook, and hospitality this morning, meaning the coffee makers. Yay! Jean Hills and Sharon Skratish. So we thank you so much for your service. And speaking of inside of your order of service, there's this brown insert. So if you would be interested or willing to sign up for or let us know that you would be willing to take on one of those jobs that help our service run smoothly, fill this out and put it in the collection basket when the collection baskets come around. We appreciate that very much. There are a couple of extra announcements this morning. So in your order of service, there is an announcement about Trees for Tomorrow. This is the winter getaway in the north woods. And I just want to draw your attention to the fact that the date in this announcement is incorrect. Instead of the 3rd through the 5th of February, it will be occurring on the 9th through 11th. So just make a note of that. Another announcement, drawing your attention to the Wortman lecture today. At 2 o'clock this afternoon in the landmark auditorium, Dr. Aracela Alonso will be speaking on the topic of sexual exploitation and trafficking of women in the European Frontera Sur, a major health and human rights issue. And there will be a reception that follows that talk today. Please note any other announcements that are in your red floors insert in the order of service which describe other upcoming events at the society and more information about today's activities. So again, welcome. We hope that today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your heart and stir your spirit. That's an opening to get the blood moving. It wasn't already moving from being outdoors in the snow and the cold. Though beautiful and bounteous, this is an imperfect world filled with imperfect people. With people who fail, although they do try to be as good, as caring, as honest and as generous as they believe that they should be. How we live with these imperfections, that's what really matters. We need to acknowledge them, take responsibility for them, outwit them, forgive them in others and in ourselves. This is an imperfect place, we are all imperfect people, and yet we do have some amazing strengths. May we join our strengths and our affections to become, for a little while at least this morning, a steadfast chain of community. I invite you to rise in body and spirit as Beth lights our chalice. And as she does so, please join me in the words of affirmation printed in your program. As we gather, we light this chalice as a symbol of hope. May the light within each of us be rekindled each day. May the light of truth and goodness be part of our lives always. And when that bright spark sputters, let us use our powers to bring it back to life. And now on this fine and snowy January morning, please turn to your neighbor and exchange with them a warm and friendly greeting. This weekend we have the pleasure of experiencing our annual banner parade. Each of our 25 children's religious education classes has created a banner to reflect the things that they think about and talk about and play about and care about in their individual classes. From preschool through the ninth grade, our children and our youth are busy every week learning and growing. Following this parade, their banners will be hung on the rail above our commons area out there, adding color and spirit to our shared space with each subsequent worship service this winter and spring. So be sure to take a look once those banners are all on display. But for now, feel free to applaud as each of our classes come in. Once they've gotten to the front and are moving back out, please greet them with a round of applause. Thank you for all your beautiful work. It always does my heart good to know that we have such a wonderful intergenerational community here and so many wonderful children and the teachers that help them with their classes. So we continue with two personal statements, the first by Jessica Coutts and this appeared serendipitously enough in the January 2018 issue of the literary magazine, The Sun. She writes, I'm sorry I don't have a better way to start this. I tried to think of an interesting hook and amusing anecdote, but then I figured I might just as well lay it out there. Of all the bad habits I possess, and there are many, unnecessary apologies are the worst. I'm sorry. It rolls off my tongue so mindlessly, like an um or an err, I barely hear it when I say it anymore. When I was a child, apologies were often expected, they were even demanded of me and I was a quick learner, eager to please, eager to pacify. I'm sorry. That did the trick with angry parents, with irritated teachers, with bullying classmates. And even if I wasn't at fault, peace was more appealing to me than justice. I would do anything to dissipate the tension so that I could go back to my books and my cats and my drawings and my vivid imagination. Now as a teen, I felt like apologizing for my very existence. I was too fat, too plain, too clumsy, too dreamy, too awkward to take up space in the world. Numbing myself with alcohol and drugs, that helped. So did angry music, art, dark clothes, dark hair, friends who did the same. I just kind of disappeared a little bit. As a college student, I began to see my privilege more clearly. Not just as a white female, but as a middle class American with clean drinking water, access to birth control, a warm house, plenty of food. I was so lucky and so very sorry for it. I've come to realize now that I'm sorry is the wrong reaction to all of the above. I do not need to apologize for having an imperfect body. I do not need to apologize for my first world privilege, although I do need to work a lot harder on making the playing field a bit more level. And yet I still mindlessly say I'm sorry many times a day to the clerk in the grocery store when I forget to bring my canvas bag, to the waiter when I request my salad dressing on the side, to the postman who has to lug a large box up to my doorstep, even to my sweet boyfriend when we bump noses while kissing. Well, recently I've started paying more attention to the men that I know. Few of them seem to possess this verbal tick. What's their secret? My five-year-old son has become my role model. Yeah, sure. He will say I'm sorry when he's heard a friend's feeling or where he has carelessly broken a toy, but my son never apologizes for his existence. The second reading from an interview conducted with Ani DeFranco. In 2013, DeFranco was scheduled to lead an event that she entitled, Righteous Retreat. And she was going to lead it at the Nottoway Plantation and Resort in White Castle, Louisiana. Now, like much of the land in the South, this used to be a slave plantation. But her idea was to have seminars and classes over four days with the goal of inspiring artists and musicians in their own creative work. And she writes, A promoter who had done a similar event at Nottoway the previous year had planned it all out. And I had agreed without knowing the exact location, only that it was near New Orleans. For my co-faculty, I had selected Tashi Reagan, Buddy Wakefield, and Ed Hamill, three very poetic and political kindred spirits of mine. When I found out that the name of the resort was Nottoway Plantation, I was shocked. I didn't automatically think it was incorrect for my crew and me to inhabit that space. After all, Tashi is black and had played at former plantations before. But there was backlash. The woman who spearheaded the criticism of the event, she had done her research, which I certainly had not. She had discovered this promotional pamphlet describing the slave owner of that plantation as benign, someone who tried to maintain a willing workforce. Willing is pretty offensive as a word to apply to slavery, isn't it? Well, first, the controversy built on social media for two or three weeks. But my manager just chose not to tell me, believing that it was not my job to get involved with every dispute about my work. And when I eventually became aware of the problem, I thought, I've got to respond immediately. I've got to respond today. I was emotional, and I made a misstep. You see, I tried to explain my side how I perceived the matter. I pointed out, for example, that any older building in the deep south had been constructed directly or indirectly by slave labor. And to avoid using such buildings, I'd have to move far, far away from New Orleans. And I also asked whether I should investigate the history, the ownership of all the venues where I played, performing arts centers, the theaters, the nightclubs. Is that my responsibility? This only provoked more fierce reaction. And so I see now that I should simply have said, I'm sorry. That I should have affirmed people's pain. Sorry would have indicated that I was listening. And a few days later, I released another statement saying exactly that, that my white privilege had snuck up on me. And these attacks made me re-examine myself, places like not away. They need the most awareness and the most healing in our country. And when you have this kind of a wound, you can't just turn away from it. You have to address it, or it just becomes worse and worse. Please join me in the spirit of meditation. From many places and many conditions of the spirit we come, seeking here a center for our lives, a sense of greater wholeness. We come from dry places where words and knowledge seem broken into brittle fragments that do not cohere, and from overfilled places where information abounds, but there's no real depth of understanding. We come from hard places where feelings are dulled, and from lonely hollow places where meaning seems thin. Here in this caring, supportive community at this time of quiet reflection, we come to be emptied of all this clatter and confusion, of the information that we once thought was all sufficient. We come to be emptied, and then filled with the spirit that flows in and among us, that can be for us a reliable source of solace and insight. In this time of quiet, let us center our spirits, ground our being, that we might find the power that already lies latent within us. Power for love, power for creativity, power for hope, and power for transformation. Given this brief reprieve from daily pressure, that we learn once again to appreciate that every inch of space is a miracle, every instant a wonder, and an opening for new opportunities. So at this very moment, may our hearts be open to compassion, our minds be open to wisdom, our spirits be open to grace. Let us continue on in just a moment more of silent meditation. Blessed be and amen. A contemplative peace, wonderful interlude. If you receive the news of the day from just about any source whatsoever, print, electronic, or just plain coffee shop conversation, you are of course familiar with charges of sexual misconduct that have been leveled at increasing numbers of notable public figures. And some like former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, nothing more than a creepy miscreant preying on teenagers. But others like Garrison Keeler, felt more like a member of the family, didn't he? The rumpled uncle, quick with a quip, or with an amusing story. The fall of an insufferable blowhard like Bill O'Reilly, that may have elicited a little shot in Freud. Oh, how the mighty have fallen, we smugly say to ourselves. But when someone like the personable Charlie Rose falls from grace, our emotions might be a little more mixed. Who'd have guessed that Charlie was such a cad, except of course for those whom he'd abused. Now what I've found interesting about this avalanche of reports, which has now given rise to the nationwide hashtag MeToo movement, is the manner in which the various perpetrators have responded, the strategies that they have adopted to deal with or to deflect these scandals. Some of course decide to circle the wagons. And despite copious evidence to the contrary, deny any wrongdoing. Judge Roy Moore didn't know any of the women that he accosted as a young DA. For Donald Trump, reports of his infidelities and raunchy behavior were and are fake news. Stories fabricated by women I don't know and have never met, he claimed. At least one highly regarded religious figure, the 70-year-old Buddhist teacher, Sogyal Rinpoche, had the temerity to justify his lechery, claiming it was consistent with the Tibetan Rigpa traditions' crazy wisdom. Rigpa disciples apparently are obliged to accept the ostensibly abusive behavior of recognized spiritual masters as part of their enlightenment training. When eight longtime associates of the Rinpoche detailed his misdeeds in a 12-page letter, he offered this rejoinder. I have spent my whole life trying my best to serve the Buddha's teachings. And not a day goes by when I am not thinking about the welfare of my students. I will now go into retreat to pray and practice for healing and understanding to prevail. And in the spirit of the great masters of the past, I will take the suffering upon myself and give happiness and love to others. Other perpetrators expressed a greater willingness to take responsibility for past indecencies. After having been shown the door by CBS and the National Public Broadcasting Company, Charlie Rose did offer an apology, saying he was greatly embarrassed. He characterized his past behavior in hindsight as insensitive. But then, in his own defense, he said, I do not believe that all the accusations are accurate, and I have always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now know I was mistaken. Judge Alex Kosinski, a federal appeals court judge out of San Francisco for 32 years, reacted similarly after 15 former law clerks individually issued complaints. I may have overstepped, he admitted. But it was really just a misunderstanding because, as he put it, I've always had a broad sense of humor and a candid way of speaking to my clerks. Without addressing specific damning aspects of that 12-page report, Kosinski went on to say, I just may not have been mindful enough of the special challenges that women face in the workplace. If you are thinking that some of these responses, apologetic or not, don't quite measure up, you would probably be right. In each instance, one or more important elements seems to be missing. So, leaving aside those who simply dismiss charges like this out of hand as part of some feminist-inspired conspiracy, where do others miss the mark? For purposes of comparison, let's consider one more post-exposure apology, that of Al Franken. Although some of his ardent supporters complained that Al Franken was being pilloried for offenses far less egregious than those of a Charlie Rose or a Donald Trump, the entertainer-turned-senator did feel that an abject apology was in order. And of all the maya culpas that I've read, his seemed to me to be the most authentic and the most insightful. I respect women, he told his colleagues from the Senate floor, and I don't respect men who don't respect women. And the fact that my own activities have given people good reason to doubt that, that makes me feel ashamed. Now, as a comedian, I've told and written a lot of jokes that I once thought were funny, but later came to realize were just plain offensive. But my intentions behind my actions, that's not the point at all. It's the impact of the jokes, the impact on others, that's what matters. And I'm just sorry it's taken me so long to come to terms with that. So my topic this morning is contrition. And I've spent considerable time at the outset describing the way well-known public figures have responded to their accusers because it may help us to understand what contrition really is and why it matters. Now to be contrite is to be remorseful and to be sincerely penitent. That's the thumbnail definition. And if we parse it, we can see that it contains several elements. First, the contrite individual feels bad about what they've done. They are paying an emotional price for their behavior. And second, they are conscious stricken. They know that they have crossed an ethical line and violated societies and their own professed values. And finally, they're honest about it. They exhibit candor and they accept personal responsibility. Now using these criteria, we can revisit the foregoing statements and point to those that reflect the true spirit of contrition. So again, leaving aside the denialists like Roy Moore and Donald Trump, where did the others make the grade or fall short? Now, Sogiel Rinpoche, that Buddhist teacher, does not deny the evidence. He's honest. He's honest about his past abuses, but he feels no remorse. Because he believes that given his spiritual orientation as a Rigpa Buddhist, no ethical norms were violated. In this respect, Sogiel Rinpoche resembles the former overlords of the South African apartheid regime, who, when they were confronted with the torture that they had inflicted, defended it in ideological terms. As Pumlo Godobo Madakazela, a psychologist who served on the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, says, the trick perpetrators use starts out with a rationalization to convince oneself of the legitimacy of one's acts. But then they begin to communicate this rationalization to others, and at that point, it no longer is a rationalization, it becomes a truth. And that truth releases the perpetrator from any sense of guilt that he or she might feel about their evil deed. Now, although it's not quite so obvious, we find in some of these public apologies, I've mentioned this same element of rationalization and evasion of contrition's honesty requirement. Charlie Rose says that, I thought I was pursuing shared feelings. As if a man, at his level of influence and power, was not used to imposing his feelings and his desires on others. And to argue after years of serial abuse that the problem could be boiled down to what a miscommunication, that's more than a little disingenuous. Similarly, Judge Kosinski lays part of the problem on the clerks. They just didn't get his broad sense of humor. For Kosinski, as for Rose, this has become the truth, an outgrowth of the rationalizations that abusers often use to absolve themselves of serious breaches of trust or safety or personal honor. Now, at the feeling level, on the other hand, it seems clear that Charlie Rose is suffering emotionally for what he's done. He says, I am greatly embarrassed, but is that remorseful? Is it the unseemly acts themselves or the public exposure of those acts that causes him such deep embarrassment? And if it's the latter, then Charlie Rose is indulging in self-pity and not showing genuine sympathy for his victims. So how do we judge the genuineness of remorse? Pamela Gota from Matakazeila asks. How do we judge the genuineness? How do we know that the signs of an alleged contrition are not simply the product of the perpetrators having been caught or the changes in society that have destroyed his power base and his support structures? How do we know? Now, Charlie Rose may now, at this point, appreciate the distress that his overbearing, unwanted advances have caused those who were under his celebrity thumb. But you wouldn't know that from his public apology. So what about Al Franken? Does he pass the contrition test? It is telling to me that he used the word ashamed rather than embarrassed to describe his emotions. Synonyms for ashamed include abashed, rueful, regretful. And these words point to a profound sense of self-betrayal and a clear recognition of wrongdoing. And moreover, Franken makes no attempt to rationalize his behavior as some part of a comedic shtick. I came to believe that the jokes I thought were funny were just plain offensive, he admits. And in any case, he says, it's not the jokes. It's not the intention behind them that matter. What matters is the impact that those jokes have had on others. There's been no misunderstanding here. And no one is to blame but Al Franken himself. Now, more often than not, in issuing an apology, we do invoke our intentions, don't we? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I had no idea my comments would cause you offense. But that, again, is usually something of a deflection as the Buddhist teacher Ken McLeod points out. The subtle implication is that the victim may be too sensitive, that the problem is not with the words themselves but with the recipient's reaction to the words. And Franken doesn't go that route. Lesson learned, words do matter. And I'm just sorry it took me so long to grasp that. Now, that's not to say that the victim's feelings are irrelevant, that they don't matter, that they should not be acknowledged in an apology. But that recognition of the other's feelings need to be accompanied by a clear statement of personal responsibility. And without that, where's the impetus to change? You just want to be a little more careful about the company you keep. Quite often, as Beverly Flanigan points out, we choose to express regret rather than remorse. We rue the outcome but not necessarily the deed itself. Regret says, I'm sorry you were hurt. Remorse says, I'm sorry for what I did. Regret is the easier path to take because it does excuse us from doing any further inner work. In true contrition, the individual resolves to do better, to become a better person, to do what's necessary to avoid making the same mistake over and over again. That's not regret, that's remorse. This is not an easy process to undertake, especially for men in our culture who are so used to being on top, exercising control, projecting strength. And our default position, and I know this for myself as well, is that when we are challenged, we raise the shields in order to maintain control and preserve our precious self-image. It is quite rare in my experience for a man with celebrity comparable to Anita Franco to do what she did with the Tataway Plantation scandal to just suck it up and admit to needing to be further educated. The word repentance, that is a near synonym for contrition. And in the Bible, repentance signals a moral and spiritual awakening that leads to a turning around, a change of direction in your life that promises to make of your life something that's more responsible and life-affirming. The theological term for this is metanoia. And the quintessential tale of repentance and metanoia is the return of the prodigal son found in the Gospel of Luke. We all know that story. After leaving home, leaving all of his familial responsibilities behind, the profligate younger of two sons loses everything in a binge of gambling and carousing. And after hitting bottom as it were, he recognizes his selfishness and his stupidity and he begins walking home to be reunited with his family. He is still a ways from the house. His grateful father sees him, runs out and embraces him and the son blurts out his apology saying, Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. That's powerful in its brevity. And that apology is a model of true contrition. The son acknowledges the grievous hurt that he has caused his loved one. He takes full responsibility for his unethical behavior. He shows his sincerity by saying that he deserves to be disowned. Now, it's not explicitly mentioned, but the son's commitment to change, to metanoia is implied by the unqualified forcefulness of that statement. So there's one more final issue that remains to be considered. The relationship of what I've been talking about contrition to forgiveness. So when we are confronted with someone who meets all the foregoing criteria, are we as the victim duty bound to forgive? Now, in our Judeo-Christian culture, people often feel that forgiveness is a moral and religious absolute. It is an obligation. Because after all, when Peter asked Jesus how many times one must forgive a person who has repeatedly harmed us, he said, Master, seven times? Is that enough? You remember what Jesus said? Seventy-seven times. He didn't even place any conditions on the process. We must forgive early and often because that is the godly way. Now, in the Gospels, Jesus speaks frequently of forgiveness and he extends his own forgiveness freely, even to those responsible for his crucifixion. Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do. But when applied to our normal human affairs, this can feel a little like cheap grace. It can feel a little like a get out of jail free card. Unconditional forgiveness leaves little incentive for the offender to engage in meaningful behavioral changes. It is as inhuman to forgive all, the Roman senator Seneca said, as it is to forgive none. It is as inhuman to forgive all as it is to forgive none. That kind of magnanimity, all forgiving. That's not good for the forgiving party either. The injured party feels pressured to take this step without sufficient readiness as often we do in our culture that it may add to that person's suffering. As Robert Enright says, not only has the person been violated, but now they can feel guilty because they cannot sincerely offer their hand in forgiveness. Still, when true contrition is shown and when it is recognized as such, this readiness to forgive may develop sooner than it would otherwise. The victim's suffering, in this case, has been acknowledged. Their story has been accepted at face value. The imbalance of power and authority created by the abuse is beginning to be corrected. Pumla Godobo Mardakzele says that a remorseful apology inspires empathy and ultimately forgiveness. And yet it is always the prerogative of the injured party to decide whether the contrition is genuine and whether further steps might be called for before the hatchet is buried. And the process of writing a wrong doesn't end with an expression of contrition and the extension of forgiveness. In fact, this may mark only the beginning of an extended process of moral and spiritual discernment on the part of the perpetrator. Again, writing from a Buddhist perspective, Ken McLeod says, we have to stop feeding the inner patterns that moved us to do the harm in the first place. Have to stop feeding those inner patterns and that will take time and the steady application of moral and ethical effort. Now, I've been talking this morning about the big stuff, haven't I? Not every inadvertent slight, not every accidental injury that occurs. As Jessica Cotts learned in the reading you heard earlier, we should not be apologizing for who we are for our all-too-human foibles. That's not only unnecessary, it is also debasing when we do that to the whole forgiveness process. For ordinary everyday injuries, a simple pardon me is probably going to be sufficient most of the time. But for serious transgressions, we do have to up the ante because for open wounds, the bandage is forgiveness and the balm is true contrition. Blessed be and amen. It is now time for the giving and the receiving of our offering and as you can see, your gifts will be shared this week with our literacy network of Dane County. Please be generous. Once a month, we generally set aside a few moments during the worship hour for the sharing of joys and sorrows. A time for members, friends and even visitors to our congregation to share with the entire gathered community some special event or some circumstance that has affected your life or the life of someone close to you in recent days or weeks. And so for the few minutes that remain, anyone who wishes is invited to step to the front of the auditorium and light a candle in the candelabras to my right or to my left and then using the microphone provided by Anne Smiley, our lay minister, share your name if that's comfortable as well as your brief message. Please note that our services are live cast so listeners are not restricted to those sitting in this room. It may also wordlessly come forward and light a candle of commemoration and then simply return to your seat. So I open the floor now for the sharing of these significant matters of our lives. I'd like to start by letting a candle for Eva Wright who had heart surgery this week and is doing wonderfully. This is for Jackie Regenbogen and Dawn Regenbogen. Jack is having a variety of health issues. There are members here. She has to suddenly have a cancerous mass removed next week. She just received word two days ago about this so it's a very tumultuous time for them. I've had a hospitalization in December and I'm just grateful that it turned out as well as it did. I'm grateful for a new year and happy birthday. Thanks for all your support, everybody here. Thank you. That's a lighting a candle for my daughter Chloe who is home now after two brain surgeries and she's home, she's walking, she's talking, she's laughing, she's hanging out with her brother and it's... Seeing no others, Anne, would you please light one more candle to symbolize those concerns that may have occurred to people as others were speaking? We hold those also with tenderness in our hearts. And please turn to our closing hymn, This Old World and Rise and Body, Run Spirit. This Old World and... Good morning. If you haven't already heard today after service we are going to celebrate the generosity of this community. We've made tremendous progress on our capital campaign goals and we've raised nearly $3 million. We've had pledges from over 300 families and we're getting very close to the end. We've had a ton of support from volunteers. We're still accepting pledges but we're winding down our activities. If you'd like to know more about the campaign overall please come to the next parish meeting on Sunday, February 11th. After today's service everybody is welcome to celebrate and partake in their freshments out there together and I hope I'll see you after service. Thank you. Maybe Matthew needs no introduction but he has been the co-chair of our capital campaign so we very much appreciate all of his efforts on our behalf. And yes, before you go back out into the snowy January day get some hot beverage or some sparkling cider and enjoy a few other refreshments. We close with these words from David Miller. Sometimes we go forth from church with peace in our hearts and sometimes with a heightened awareness of the contradictions and the brokenness of our lives and our world. Always we go forth with a promise that whatever in our spirit is broken it can be made whole again. And even amid the brokenness we are assured that we can find a measure of peace. Blessed be and amen.

In the related developments, now a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Bodejad, says it is time to chart a new direction for Nigeria. He made the statement while Griffin Newsman and the PDP local government leaders are head of the local council election in Lagos state. Plus TV Africa's correspondent, Ungozika, on hair chasing, Hasmore. For keen political observers, this statement is not strange as the host from time to time expresses his opinion to the media and PDP followers. This time around, he argues that it is time to consider restructuring as panacea to the merits of challenges confronting the nation. The PDP chief then said that Nigeria federation is skewed and distorted. The challenges before us are far beyond the confines of partisan politics. The turmoil within the Nigerian entity is about the twisted present situation. Very twisted indeed. Nobody is at peace. It is about who we are. It is about what we ought to be. It's about the greater tomorrow. He says leadership requires wisdom and according to him, this is what is lacking. Leadership requires a lot of patience, cultivated wisdom and demonstrated intelligence. You do not aspire to position of leadership by mere women pantheists. Like the Boy Scout motto says, you must be prepared. You must be honorable. You must look beyond personal advantages and be willing to make sacrifices on behalf of others. Addressing the spate of insecurity in the country, Badejad says that the country is in a terrible state and it is not beyond redemption. The insecurity was only in the southern part of Nigeria for a long time until they saw and had also some MAPC governors talking about insecurity in their states. So it is a national matter. We cannot continue like this. The first responsibility of any government is to protect lives and properties of the citizens. The PDP leader says his intervention, it's not partisan, therefore it should be taken seriously. Go Zika or HSE for Plus TV Africa.

7 - Concerns of Institutional Leadership
|
An engaging workshop hosted by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, aimed at advancing the communication of scientific research involving animals. The Planning Committee gathered experts to share and explore tools and strategies that enhance public understanding of the scientific method, the care and use of animals, and the vital contributions of animal research to the health and well-being of both animals and humans.
Key topics of discussion included effective communication methods for scientists to engage with non-experts, using case examples to address misconceptions related to animal research. The workshop also delved into systemic changes in the integration of scientific information by journalists, filmmakers, and others, leveraging diverse communication media and advanced technologies for various public audiences.
Participants explored ways to assess the success of communication efforts, with specific focus on challenging aspects of animal research that are often misunderstood by the public. This included the context, applications, and value of animal research activities, ethical and regulatory requirements for humane animal care and use, alternative methodologies, interpretation of results, and combating disinformation.

Thank you very much, and can I have the slides up please? So as Jeff just mentioned, I am the institutional official at the University of Pittsburgh. I have been involved with research for many years. I am a faculty member. I've been at Pitt for 30 years. And one of the things that people don't often get about institutional leadership is the fact that they are researchers. They've been in the same role as a faculty. They are faculty. I'm still funded to do animal research. So I understand all about it because I do it for a living. Can I have it in the next slide please? So as Jeff also mentioned, I run an office and this is very typical for animal IOs, an office called the Office of Research Protections. And that includes all of our research regulatory functions at the university. Next slide please. And that does include animal research, as well as human subject research, the IRB. And one thing that people often get confused about or concerned about is, oh, human subject work gets a lot more attention than the animal work. What our institution, I think, is pretty typical. We have six times more IRB protocols than we have IACUC protocols. Human subject work is usually more pervasive in an institution, more funding, so it gets more attention. And we are affiliated at our institution with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, which has its own communications department that promotes all of the health care that it does. So, of course, human subject research gets more attention. There's a lot more emphasis on it. Our office also includes support and oversight for FDA trials of clinical trials, conflict of interest, stem cell oversight, biosafety, again, gene research, which, again, is controversial, and also safety, like radiation safety. We do research integrity investigations if there's concerns about fabrication of falsification of data, and we do export control and research security. So a whole bunch of things. So, yes, your institutional official is concerned about animal research, but in most places, they're also concerned about a whole bunch of other things. One of my jobs is to pay attention to what's happening and let our communications department know if there is anything going on that's either bad, that may hit the press or good that they need to publicize. So either thing comes to the top. And it's important that I know everything going on so I can do that. Now, most of the bad stuff that happens is not animal research. There's a lot of different kinds of research that go on that can be controversial in addition to animal research. We have been really hammered lately over fetal tissue research as an institution. It's been a real issue for us that we've had to contend with. And we've learned a lot of lessons about communicating for fetal tissue research, clearly a controversial topic that are very applicable to animal research. Very similar strategies you need to take to communicate about these issues. So today in a few slides, I'd like to talk about our strategies for communication at the University of Pittsburgh and to provide some advice to faculty members about communicating about their research. And this is pretty global. It doesn't matter if it's animal or human subject or any any topic at all, things you need to think about and also how to avoid landmines. So we do have a office at Pitt, the Office of University Communications and Marketing, and that office is involved with doing all of the communications that are done on our campus. These are our communication specialists. And one of the things to point out about this office, it's the University Communications and Marketing. It sort of tells you what their job is. It's to sell the university to many different stakeholders, to the public, of course, because we want their support to government. They fund our research. They also are involved since we're a state related institution and providing money for our operational budget. We also want to appease or support the most important audience of all high school students. Why high school students? Because one of the things when I got into this position that I learned that most surprised me is we're a major R1 research institution. We're number three in NIH funding in the country. But tuition is one of our biggest income streams. It's just a few dollars behind research. So getting those students in the door is very, very important. So that's why in a lot of the communications materials, you'll see very happy undergraduate students because they're important. We want more coming in. And I'm not sure if I can play the movie if you could do that for me. So this is actually from the front page of our communications website. Just to tell the world, I mean, this is publicly available, what they do for a living. And they communicate in many different ways, social media, web publications. They do all of the media relations and communications for our institution. So again, they're there to sell the institution. That's their goal. And if you want to work with your communications people, which I advise you to do, bear in mind what their job is there to sell, sell, sell. They're to make there to promote what you do for a living. So anyway, that's what communications do now involved in communications regarding research. And again, communications regarding other issues involves other stakeholders. If it's, you know, about what you do in terms of your athletics program, obviously different stakeholders are involved. But again, if there's communications about research, and this doesn't always apply, sometimes if it's a fairly simple communication, Combs just handles it. But if it's something complicated or potentially controversial, they're going to go, they're going to talk with scientists. They're going to talk with the scientists, bosses, a dean or department chair. If it's a regulatory thing and research, they'll come to me as the institutional official. And I will talk with our animal program. If it's animal research or our IRB folks, if it's human subject research, legal counsel gets involved looking at legal issues and our government relations people get involved in terms of how this will impact our funding from the government. A number of people play a role in looking at our communication strategies. And again, not everything, but sensitive things, crisis communications, a whole bunch of people look at. Now at Pitt, I think we've been very, very transparent about our animal research. We'll make it very clear that we do it. We have a website, animalresearch.pitt.edu. I encourage you to go to it, look at it. It's a pretty extensive site. We periodically put out emails and ask our researchers, do you want to be basically focused on on this website? Do you want to highlight your research on our website about animal research? It's public facing. It's there. Now, we've also dealt with the press quite a bit in terms of even allowing the press in. I mean, we're talking about major press coming in with cameras into the animal facility, photographing animals. Now, this is always clear, very carefully curated with our comms department, making sure they know exactly what their limitations are and coming into your facility and photographing. But we've been on Vice TV with non-human primates. There's also been a story on 60 Minutes. It's been a while back about our in terms of our brain interfaces and what we're doing in that area. And we're also in a sort of a segue between what we're doing with animal research and human subject research. So the things that our comms department really focuses on when they are thinking about communications or advising faculty about communications. It's, first of all, they want to promote the university. How is this going to affect the reputation of the university? Is this a good story to advance our reputation? So a good animal research story is one of the things that they want to promote. But it has to be a good story. And I think the most effective stories out there are when there is a clinical trial or there's a cure. Here's a cure. And look how we got there. That makes it very clear to people that this animal research leads to cures. I think that's very useful. As I've said, your comms department wants to market you. They want to sell you to the public and to those high school students to get them to come in and give you tuition dollars. We also look at legal ramifications of things that are going on, particularly with crisis communications. Now, if it's known that there's an investigation going on, for example, often the feedback is we don't comment if an investigation is ongoing. And that's the perfect response. If an investigation is ongoing, you don't have the facts. So why start spouting information you don't know? So you have to be very careful if you know that a legal investigation is going on. There are legal ramifications. Law enforcement gets very angry if you confound their investigation by going public. And then you also look at security concerns. You don't want to put information out there that a nefarious party could use to violate your facilities or target an individual. So you really shouldn't showcase an investigator's research, particularly animal research, if they're uncomfortable with it being out there. You need to get their permission to do it. And we've seen people that are reluctant to have their research publicized. Don't do it then. I mean, if the scientist doesn't want it done, then you shouldn't do it. You shouldn't force it down their throat. So when we advise faculty on things to consider when they are talking about their research is know who you're talking to and temper your approach accordingly. Now, this we've mentioned this several times during this meeting that some of the best ways of advocating for animal research is you're not going to the media, but talking to your neighbors, your family, etc. We've seen in social movements that's the most effective communication. You win people over one at a time, person to person. And with the holidays coming up, we're going to be interacting with family a lot in the next week, golden opportunity to sell animal research. And that's how you do it. And we've seen this being the most effective communication route. The other thing, and we've learned this from fetal tissue research, a truly adversarial audience will not be swayed by your arguments. By talking with them there, you're just giving them ammunition to use against you. You know, so if you know that a publication is going to be very adversarial to your work, why talk with them? They're not going to spend it positively ever. So be careful who you talk to. So we have complete academic freedom at the University of Pittsburgh. Faculty can talk to anybody they want to. But we also tell them that you can speak for yourself and not the institution. You can't say, University of Pittsburgh supports this viewpoint. Our chancellor can. I can't, you know, unless I'm specifically authorized to do that. That's an important point. You don't speak for your institution, you speak for yourself. One of the things when I started being interviewed about my research most disappointed me is a reporter would talk with me for an hour. And my name wouldn't be in the article or one sentence. And it's usually the sentence I didn't want quoted was quoted, you know, it's like that's what happens. A reporter may talk to 40 people to get their story, 40 scientists. And you may help inform the article, but you may not be a prominent part of the article. And that's an expectation you need to actually be aware of. And as I've mentioned in a question earlier, you may actually be embargoed about what you can say about your project. If you're funded by industry and there's proprietary information coming out of your study, you may be restricted on what you can say about it. And you have to really respect the agreement that's in place. And as I mentioned, research security is becoming a bigger deal. So the government wants you to be open, but it also wants you to secure your data. And it's a very, it's a tight road that people are going to have to walk in the future. So that's another concern that we have. You know, I encourage people not to talk a lot about unpublished data, because we've seen instances of people stealing their research. You don't want that to happen, right? So you talk about your published studies. And again, respect funding. If there are restrictions on communications, you need to honor them. And again, some things that we tell people to avoid landmines, consult with your communications department prior to agreeing to give an interview. Most people don't even know who their communications department is, even though they look at their stuff every day on their computer. They look at all the stuff that they put out. But the communications department can give you good advice, including this is a very adversarial media outlet. You may not want to talk with them. So they can really give you good advice. And if you're particularly be talking on camera to a major news outlet, let your comms department negotiate this for you. They know what restrictions to put into place, how the best practices that should be there. You don't, you may not think of anything. So let them negotiate. More and more of these interviews are on Zoom. And one trick I learned, let your comms department do it. Set it up. So it's your Zoom, not the media Zoom that you're on. Then you control it. If there's chat messages or whatever, you get them, they don't. So that's an important thing to consider. Again, media training is important for faculty, particularly if they're going on camera to give an interview. And our communications department offers it. And of course, you should never let people enter the animal facility or come into your lab without permission. There's security concerns there. Again, if you are involved in an investigation or somebody's actually looking at your work, you know, you've been targeted by an animal rights group, you may not be the best person to talk about this. You're going to be on defense the entire time. Let somebody else defend you in those cases. Make sure your funding source is comfortable with what you're discussing. And the other thing that we've learned yesterday is reporters may be much more interested in telling a good story than getting the details right. So remember what their perspective is. And I think that's important as well. They're not there to tell your story. They're there to tell a good story that's going to quote sell newspapers. And that's all I had in terms of the slides. And I think now we have some interview questions. Yes. So this session's a little different. Bill and I will be somebody, not from an adverse media, but interviewing Bill. And I should, in full transparency, say my daughter went to pit. So it has my money. It was a very good school. So, all right, Bill, you covered a lot of some of the questions I was going to ask. But how about has anything changed at pit when you've embraced a more open environment regarding animal research? You know, we've been much more open for a few years. Now, I think we've always been open, but again, it was about three or four years ago we put up our animal research website. And I do think we do encourage people to talk about their work. And we do have articles out there about animal research quite often, you know, during that we did a lot of the COVID work at our institution during the pandemic. And we had folks from our vaccine institute out there all the time talking about their work. So we are open. We coach people on how best to sell their work to the public, talk to about their work to the public. But we are, I think, pretty open about everything. So would you say that it lends itself to a more, not relaxed, but more engaged environment? I think it does. I mean, I think we're pretty engaged. And we encourage our scientists to be very engaged with the public. So what would advice you'd give others who are taking institutional buy-in and maybe don't have it yet for expanding communications about their animal programs and research? Again, I think you need to be able, I mean, you tell people that you want to sell it in the right way. You need to be very open and honest about what's going on. And I think it works. Point people to places like us that do have our websites, and we are open about the research that we do. They might get started by dealing with, and your comms department at a university knows who's going to be friendly to you. You know, start by engaging friendly media outlets that you know are going to be helpful and not harmful. So I mean, those are things that you might do. And you mentioned you had the slide with all the different responsibilities you have and there's people at other universities similar type positions. So does it take a crisis to get engagement and change or can it happen differently? Well, a crisis always focuses here. So there's a lot more attention to a particular topic during a crisis. It's not the best time to tell your story because you're going to be by definition on defense simply because people are accusing you of doing things. And again, we did have some problems in terms of an infiltration that happened a number of years ago. And that did encourage us to be more open about what we did. It really taught us, yeah, we have to be more proactive about our communication strategy. So it did help us be more proactive at that point. So any advice on when leadership changes and you have to educate new senior leaders or like if yourself should leave, how do you keep the continuum going? So again, it's always a challenge because a number of folks are involved in the whole communication strategy. As I've said, there's attorneys, their government relations folks, your comms director, and they turn over all the time. So there is turnover. You just need to meet with people and talk with them and really try to get the very top institutional buy into what you're doing. And the last question is people often say, you know, public institutions have it harder than private institutions because the public institutions get funding and you know, they're FOIA. What do you have to say about that? Again, it may go the other way because if you're a public institution and everything's publicly available already, then there's a good reason you should be open about the research you do because everyone knows about it already. Private institutions may want to be a little bit more cautious because a lot of their information is protected. It's not out there and they may be more reluctant to share. So I think it's important for everyone to be judicious in the information they share with the public. You know, if I was a private, in Pennsylvania, we have an affiliation with the state but our open records laws don't force us to, for example, put a meeting minutes out. And so we don't. You know, I think that it's okay to be somewhat protective of certain materials because that allows free dialogue during meetings. You know, you do want confidential discussions to be frank and open. So if you have to put them out there, it may constrain communications a bit. Well, thanks, Bill. I'm going to turn it over to Jeff and Allison. Yes. Thank you so much. We now have a brief video of Bill, an inter conversation that he had with Lana Rivolo-Grasser, who is a postdoctoral fellow with the Neuroscience and Novel Therapeutics Unit within the Emotion and Development Branch of the National Institutes of Mental Health. So Dr. Yates, I've been approached by some media outlets who are interested in having me speak on the animal research that we're doing in our lab and at our institution. Is there institutional support for me to be able to do this? Sure. And our communications department will definitely work with you and help you and give you advice on how to do this. And some of the things to think about initially are first, who are you talking with? Because some media outlets may be adversarial to animal research or what you're doing. And then you may not want to engage with them because whatever you say is not going to be posed or relate in a very positive way. You need to actually know your audience and know who you're talking with. And you may not want to engage if you know that who you're talking with is going to just try to misuse what you say. We also give media training to actually help you talk with the press in the best possible way. If this is going to be a print article, often or a website article, they will likely be talking to a number of people on a particular topic and they'll take quotes from your interview. They may take one sentence from an hour interview. So that's why choosing words very carefully throughout the interview is very, very important. Because often they'll take the sentence out of the interview that you least want them to publish. So you have to remember that as well. Another important thing to remember is what does your research funding contract say? Because some research actually is you can't make public statements about it without the funding agency approval. That's just maybe in your funding agreement. So you need to check with that. Sometimes your results are embargoed by, for example, a commercial sponsor. So they need to approve anything you say. So make sure that you can actually speak on the topic legally. Now, if you've been targeted for in terms of the research that you've done, if you've actually been accused of wrongdoing, for example, you may not be the right person to defend yourself because you're going to be in a basically in a bad position if you talk with a press, for example, if there was a report to O law about non-compliance in your research and that was obtained by a group through FOIA, you may be very concerned that the press may actually be very adversarial. So you would not want to defend yourself. You would want the institution or somebody else to defend yourself. So think about the situation, but certainly the institution can help you in terms of navigating the press. That sounds great. And I am wondering, what are those institutional protections that they have in place in case there is some sort of retaliation or aggression from maybe not only a media outlet, but folks who are reading what's published there? So again, that's possible. People do have free speech rights. So often people will come to me and say, well, I got a negative email from a person who's opposed to my animal research. And we also not to the police department and they'll look at it. And again, if they just say that we don't, I don't support your research. I think it's bad. I think it's cruel. Nothing we can do about it. That's free speech. People can criticize you. If there is any threat of violence against you, then certainly that's something that law enforcement will get involved with. So you do need to know your chain of communication, who to go to. Often you may start with the IACUC chair and they'll point you to the police department or an equivalent at your institution who will basically give you security advice. Thank you. That's really helpful. And now what if I notice something that's going on at my institution that I want to make institutional leadership aware of so we can always be ensuring the welfare of animals in our work and avoid any negative consequences for both our science and our institution. So you're talking about an incident that you think is inappropriate. There's a problem. So by regulation and law, the IACUC has to consider any concerns. And in fact, there must be avenues at your institution to report noncompliance. So we have in our institution signs in every animal facility and in fact every animal use site about where you go to if you have any concerns about animal research. So the information's out there. You go to one of the contacts there and there's also mechanisms to report things anonymously. And you can rest assure that the IACIC will take it very seriously and we'll do an investigation. That's great. And if I'm asked about those types of investigations that are happening outside of my own work at the institution, is the recommendation like you said to not defend and to lean on the institution support to handle those types of queries? Again, if you're asked about a noncompliance event at your institution, you probably will know nothing about what the institution is doing. You may think your institution's doing nothing when in fact they're doing a lot because obviously these investigations are confidential to protect people that may be innocent, including whistleblowers. So you're never going to know exactly what's going on in the background. Allow your institution to take the lead in commenting. Often the institution's going to say, we don't know what's happening yet. We're still investigating and we can't comment until the investigation is done. And I have one last question for you, Dr. Yates. I'm curious how we handle visits from legislators or other lawmakers who might be interested in seeing the work of our university that might intersect with visiting animal facilities. So your university likely has a government affairs staff and that staff, that search job is to interface with government. And so if you are contacted by an office, a congressional office, for example, you should go to your government affairs people and they'll help you navigate that. And they'll give you advice on how to deal with it. They probably will want to be involved in this whole endeavor. And if you think that it would be helpful to have a legislator who's negative to animal research visit your institution. Again, your government affairs staff would be the people that would help arrange that. They have the contacts and conduits to make it happen. And at our institution, we have actually brought in congressmen into our animal facility and shown them around. And I think that can be helpful if it's done appropriately. Of course, it would be a big security breach if you tried to do this on your own. You get into trouble because you don't have authority to bring visitors into the animal facility without your permission. And it sounds like that's a way that we always make sure that the animals are being protected as well to monitor who's interacting with them. Right, you do not want strangers in the animal facility at any time. You need to go through official channels. But again, you have a large staff at your university, a lot of very trained professionals who are expert in dealing with the press, with the government, et cetera, and make good use of them, make use of their expertise, and they can give you good advice. Definitely will do. Thank you, Dr. Gates. It looks like the responses are slowing down if we wanted to share the results. So it looks like many thought that the conversation was constructive and effective. And if you found it frustrating, unhelpful or inadequate, I think I'd like to pass it off to Bill and Lana to talk about how they thought the conversation went. Again, I think it went okay. These things are interesting. This was actually an unscripted conversation, so it was really off the cuff. But there are lots of resources out there. I think that was the main point to make that investigators can go to at their institution to help them navigate how to communicate with the public about any topic or how to deal with the government on any topic. That's really key. You really do need to know work with the professionals who really are expert in these areas. Yeah, Bill in this case represented an institutional leader who was really supportive and informative, right? Had all the facts to share with us, able to connect with the right people who to get advice from. We were also talking about this a little more after and thinking through the other points of advice he shared were to have communications personnel, the communications team that he referred to in his slides on the call, if possible with you. They can always advise and kind of monitor how the conversation is going. One of the things then that I was reflecting on and watching this was, again, a very positive leader, supportive leader here, right? What if you have an institutional leader who is not supportive of outward communication or maybe animal research more specifically? You know, I don't think that's going to happen very often. I think most institutional leaders who oversee animal research programs are going to be very supportive of them. They know that the importance of those programs to their institution. More and more we're seeing in laboratories that people aren't just doing animal research or human subject research, they're doing both. They're very interested in being translational. And people notice that, that the fact that you do with the animal research to move to human subject research, to move to a cure. There's a continuum and more and more labs are involved in that continuum. So people know that. They know the importance of this research. So Lana, what did you find hard or difficult to, in that conversation? And how, now that you've done it, how would you suggest preparing for a conversation like that with, for someone else who has to talk to their institutional official? That's a great question. So one of the points of advice that Bill had shared with me was to do an adversarial mock interview for when you're speaking with the public, with whatever the target audience might be, like in case you were to encounter pushback. And I think, you know, he just shared that most of the time chairs institutional leadership are going to be supportive, right? Because they're overseeing these types of research programs for a reason. But even if it is a supportive leader, having an opportunity to practice what that conversation is going to be, perhaps with another colleague who's gone through the process before, to make sure even that you're asking the right questions, right? There were things when we were viewing this video back, thinking about, oh, I should have asked who else can be on the call with me if there are any legal teams or communications folks that can join. And I forgot to ask that. So being mindful and just preparing for the conversation, talking it through with someone else so that you don't miss any important points that you might want to hit, and also being prepared with all of the facts and the information. So again, Bill talked a lot about the importance of knowing the outlet that you might be speaking to. So have you read pieces in that outlet that have been written before? Do you have an understanding of who their target audience is and what their goals are and being able to bring that information to the conversation? And your comms team, again, probably knows at least locally who all the outlets are, who's going to be friendly and who's going to be adversarial. That's why they're such a good resource. Thank you both. So this morning, we spent a lot of time talking about openness and the ways we are moving forward in that space. However, sometimes it can still feel like an institution being open is the exception, rather than the rule. And there is often a safety and numbers element that can make people feel comfortable. Do you think that this could be achieved through some sort of official mandate to provide, say, annual reports on animal research information? Well, we do. I mean, at least for large animals, we send those to the USDA. We have to. So that's already covered. You know, in terms of rodents, we actually can estimate the number of rodents we have because we know how many cages are there every day. We don't actually count the number of rodents. That's actually not required. So, but in terms of some aspects of your program, you may not want to be open. There's proprietary things that go on. And I think if an institution, if an entity is getting, for example, a lot of commercial studies, that's what they're basically doing. They may be inclined to be less open because the people that are paying their bills are actually giving them research don't want them to be so open about the work. There are a lot of considerations. I'd like to encourage our virtual audience. If you have questions, please post them in the Q&A. Alice. So I agree with everything that you've said and doc creates. But I've also run into institutions where I've heard the very frustrating response, don't poke the bear. We're just going to let this go and it'll go away. Especially when things have calmed down a little bit. And I'm thinking, this is our chance to get the story out there. And they say, no, no, no, no, no, don't go there. And this is the calms people who are telling me and who are advising the institutional leadership. When you hear that kind of thing, do you have any suggestions for how, and they also don't want to talk about it for very long. So do you have any suggestions for how to get through to people that there may be a different way to think about this? Again, I think there is institutional turnover that occurs. So I think it's important if you're having pushback at your institution, encourage the folks that are pushing back to talk to people at other institutions to get their perspective. I think that's very important. You may have, for example, a person in your council's office, a lawyer who is not so familiar with this topic because they have a lot to worry about in a council's office at a university. And go to an attorney at an institution that's more open. Get their perspective. I think that's the key. Bill, if I could, what steps were needed to create your animal research website, like what offices and departments were involved and how did that come about? So our comms department wanted to do it. So our comms department said, this is important now to make sure that we have a site that we can point people to who are concerned about our animal research. So they led it. Then they came to the animal facility folks, intending veterinarian me, others to actually get content for it. They looked, they highlighted Americans for Medical Progress because our former comms director when that site was created was a big advocate for that group and got information from their site. And then, of course, more recently, we've actually put out email solicitations to investigators, do you want your work focused here and focused on here? And you'll see a number of work from a number of investigators that's out there. And that's because the investigator said, yeah, I want my work featured here. So I think that's important. Now, sometimes investigators are more reluctant to be on websites like that because they're afraid of targeting and other things. So you also then need to bear that in mind. If they don't want to be out there, then you shouldn't push them into the limelight. Great. Thank you so much. So going back to the openness topic, because we've had a lot of discussion about that today, what advice would you have for other institutional officials as they consider movements like the USRO initiative when they're doing their internal calculus of whether or not to formally join something like that or to do it more informally? I do think that institutions, this is a new initiative. And I think it's safety in numbers. I think it would be very effective to have a campaign to try to get a lot of people to informally sign on before they formally sign on. If there's a lot of institutions think this is a good idea, but I don't want to be by myself, then that's a good way of getting a lot of people on at the same time. You just need to have buy-in in the background before you have buy-in in the foreground. Nicole? So you've talked about work that you can't speak about proprietary projects and things like that. And I was curious about your thoughts in some cases, and this has been for audiences of scientific audiences, we've been able to gather people where they're not actually talking about the science itself, a compound or the actual experiment, but rather the care of a specific model or the importance of a specific model. Have you had experience where you have a study where it's exciting and you can't talk about the actual research, but you're able to at least talk about the uniqueness of the model that's being investigated or the nuances of the care and whether that is something that we could be more open about? I think being generally open is very useful. I think it's important to do easy to do. I mean, if there's restrictions because of proprietary concerns about particular research, they just don't want you talking about the data, the exact results from the study or what drug you're studying, for example, what compound, not about the general aspects of the research. And I have one last question, but if anyone else has a question, please post it and we'll ask. So for our faculty, our scientists, how do you recommend they prepare themselves to come to your office to ask about, that I'd like to start an initiative, I'd like to make sure that you are pretty open, but say their institution is not, how do you prepare them for that conversation? Or what advice do you have for them? Again, you need to know your institutional leadership and their background. You know, I'm open about this because I've been an animal scientist my whole career. I've been on AMP's board for 20 years. So I'm open to this stuff because that's just my background. If your leader is from a different background, I think you really just need to do benchmarking. That's really what cells institutions is. This is what other people do. We're not playing the same game as other people, including very reputable institutions. So we need to actually step up to the plate and be just as reputable and open as they are, because that's the norm, not what we do. You need to have the data to back up your arguments. So oftentimes folks that might be concerned or might want to have conversations with their institutional official about these topics are not senior investigators. Some of them might be earlier in their career. They might have other positions in the facility. How would you empower them to seek out their institutional officials specifically? So again, you just need to know who they are. They're largely scientists. Most people that work up to research oversight roles were researchers themselves. That's what gave them the background to do that job. So I think you basically tell people, don't be afraid of them. They're open to discussion. And that's a concern. People actually, because I've been at my institution for 30 years, it's a little different because everybody knows me. So it's like when I go to a meeting, I have to leave an hour early because I'm going to encounter people in the hallway that want to talk with me. But again, if you don't know your institutional official, first of all, get to know them. Schedule a meeting. It's not frightening. And also really encourage your institutional leadership to get out there and meet people. That's part of their job as well. Paula? Dr. Grasser, I just have a question for you. Could you provide some, just your experience? So I know you've done stuff and has to do things. Can you provide any insights on your experience in accessing conversations with institutional officials to do something in outreach or communications? Yes, of course. So I think there's been a few intersecting questions about what if I'm an early career person, I don't quite know where to start. Also talking about maybe not reinventing the wheel and following models of other successful institutions if you're lacking something. One thing that you could definitely leverage and bring to your institutional leadership is the idea of hosting a BRAD event. So BRAD is Biomedical Research Awareness Day. We usually celebrate BRAD on the third Thursday of every April, although of course it doesn't have to be that day. It can be whatever day works for you and your institution. If you sign up and register, and I'll of course make sure that Nia gets all of this information so that she can share it out with everyone. And if you sign up and register, we'll send you a toolkit with everything you need to host an event at your institution, perhaps to educate other fellow scientists as well as staff around your university about the work that's being done and to celebrate all of the many people who are involved in making that research possible. You can also do outward community-facing events with places like schools or a community center to provide some of that education. So the resources are there, and I think if you can show, look at the success of these events. They're occurring all over the country, all over the world. That can be a great place to start and to know that their support even above and beyond what your university is offering as well. I would also say taking some time to participate in events like this to learn effective communication skills is really important. And it's a great area to invest time in for trainees really for graduate students and postdocs, even if you are feeling that you might not have the bandwidth to put on an event or take a conversation forward in a certain way. It's so important for our trainees to be educated in science communication and have that skill going forward. So hopefully that's something that time can be dedicated towards as well. Excellent. Thank you so much, Dr. Yates, Dr. Grassner, and all participants.

Welcome everybody back to my channel. For those of you who are new around here, my name is Michael aka Dr. Chalini and I'm a board certified diagnostic and interventional radiologist in New Jersey. Now you may have seen me do a few reaction videos to some med students recently and that's because they keep popping up on my YouTube algorithm for you page or my front page of YouTube. The last few videos I've done have been about quitting med school and I thought I'd impart my wisdom in my old age, not that old by the way, but nonetheless I found some more day in the life of a med student videos that I thought would be fun to react to too because they keep popping up on my feed. On today's video we are going to be reacting to Faye Bate, link up here, who has a YouTube channel and is in medical school apparently in the UK. That's all I know so far. I have no idea what's in this video. Again, this may be a terrible video, but it may be good as well. So stay tuned. Let's go ahead and get into the video. Let's go. All right. First and foremost, we're gonna have to go over here to watch the video. So I have like a great time doing this. So hopefully you all like it. I don't know if it's me being nostalgic in med school, which I'm not really missing med school ever, but it's still kind of fun to go through and see what they're up to. So Faye Bate, hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly or Faye Bate, I don't know. She is based out of the UK because it says based out of the UK University and we'll see what's going on in the UK in terms of med school. Also, while I get this set up, just go ahead and do a quick favor for me and that is to just smash that like and subscribe button, mostly the subscribe button with a little dash of like and it's free of charge. Just takes a second. All you got to do is move your hand up to the screen or swipe up and hit subscribe. So just go ahead and do that for me. Appreciate it. I'm very, very, very excited to be vlogging again this week. I'm on my second week of my I'm all about the zip cream on the face there. I'm down. I actually got to a really good routine with waking up. So it's currently six a.m. and I'm about to head to the gym. It's just my job. Let's go. Early morning workouts before class. Let's go. Let's go. I said good morning to my pride and joy, Mr. Delonghi and downed my pre-workout espresso. Pre-workout espresso. You know, I used to drink coffee before I went to the gym and then I started to do like the lightheaded. So now I just wake up and go straight there and then I have coffee afterwards. In a classic febate fashion, I was in a rush and grabbed my lunch. It is febate. Nailed it. Oh, you look how crinkled my shirt is. Are you not embarrassed? This is really embarrassing. PS, one of my biggest pet peeves. Not on other people but me is a wrinkled shirt. Like I get so even my scrubs like these are pretty freshly pressed but I will throw them in the dryer or whatnot before I put them on because they get all wrinkly. I hate that. Yes, all the time when we were like had our stuff in the library, we all had like our separate cubicles or separate areas of the library we would study in and then like the new year would roll around and like the new kids didn't know where everybody's spot was and they would just come and put their stuff around unlike your spot. Man, used to drive me crazy. Once again, I joined the Morning Mourned round checking in on heme patients all over the hospital. Then it was big, big smiles because I hadn't early finished. So I think what's happening here is she has hematology rounds. That's like her rotation she's on right now in med school and she goes in that and then she does the other daily stuff on top of that. I think I got ahold of this. Consulting is actually really, really, really kindly. Let me have the afternoon off to prepare for my presentation tomorrow. Now, obviously it's not really an afternoon off. I've got a lot to do. Name something better in med school than when you're attending physician that lets you go early. I'll wait. There's nothing. Nothing is better than that. It's the best thing ever. Unless you have like a project or presentation to work on, then it kind of sucks. Now I have to do this presentation on a drug that's going to be approved for use for sickle cell. Now, I don't know if I've said much about this presentation, but essentially the junior doctors were all too busy. So it got given to me. I can't even pronounce. That's such a classic move there. So like, I think she's saying is basically the residents are busy and they would do the presentation. However, you might as well just pawn it off to the lowly med student and they will do it because at the end of the day, they need to impress the higher ups and look intelligent and smart because it helps them get into residency and didn't notice and get a letter of rec. Instead of the resident do it, it would be more beneficial if the med student does it. I used to say that all the time. After working hard in residency, the last you want to do is stay up all night and do a presentation. Trust me. Well, most people don't want to. Some people really liked it. Yesterday, the consultant came into the office and he told me that he'd invited the chief executive of the Sickle Cell Society along with all the hematologists in Essex to my presentation. I know what she's feeling because as a med student, you're not really like well versed in some of these medical terms and especially on these little nuanced things, like a new drug that's coming out. So you really have to like study and prepare to make sure you don't sound stupid when you're presenting it. Obviously, you don't sound stupid, but in your head, you think you sound stupid because you're presenting it to like the people who know about this and do it for a living. So it's kind of stressful. Well, very stressful. I genuinely have spent the majority of the time picking which PowerPoint design to use. That sounds like me. I would do the same thing. I'm like, I want it to be perfect. And then I just don't read anything that's been most time on design when I haven't even done anything yet. And also that research paper back there with all those medical terms and abbreviations and drug abbreviations, all this up is bringing back bad memories for me. Guys, I'm going to attempt to make a protein iced coffee. Wait, I want to know how the presentation went. Sorry, I'm taking out my socks. I want to know how the presentation went. She didn't really get into that. I can finally give you a little bit of a debrief about the talk. I'm looking. Finally, she made it to put on the zit cream to give us the debrief. So, how did the talk go? I did get requested. I did say some silly things. Like, I said, Oh, well, I don't need to explain what sickle cell is to a room hematologist. And like, it was very flat. I love it. I like the jokes. That's how you get through it. People need a sense of humor. If they don't laugh at that, then can't help them. That's the last 24 hours. I actually feel like it's the end of exam season. You know, you just kind of lost for something to do. You're still like really on edge and productive. After you spend so much time preparing a presentation and then finally presenting it, it's like you're like super stressed, super stressed, super stressed. And then it's just like a release and dump up endorphins. And then you're like, Oh man, you can either be productive or you just need to like relax on the couch. And what I usually do is I usually have like a headache or something. And I'll just like sit down and relax on the couch. But everybody does it differently. Today, I spent time on the chemotherapy unit where patients receive treatment for not only cancer, but other conditions that use chemotherapy as part of their management like lupus. So she's doing a lot of hematology, oncology stuff, which is cool. I wish she could show the hospital, but I know it's hard for med students. It was hard for me to even do a residency. So I can imagine in med school, it's even harder. I popped all my groceries away before the cavalry arrived for a wild Thursday night of fajitas and friendships. Did she say fajitas? Fajitas? Not fajitas? Fajitas? I hope that's a joke. See, this is what I miss about med school. You like do your exams, you do a bit of presentation, even like your third and fourth year of med school when you're in the hospital doing rotations and you have so much time afterwards to just hang out with your friends. I had a whole house together with my best friends in med school who are still my best friends to this day. And we would come home and just do the craziest, weirdest stuff because we had so much time and I miss those days. Now I work hard, come home and make YouTube videos and go to sleep early. What a 90 degree turn my life has taken. Oh wait, what a 180 degree turn my life has taken. Just kidding, I love my life. That's the best possible scenario. Patience is discharged, she was delirious, or here she was delirious and now you can go find a better one and do a thorough history on. All right, so that basically sums up this vlog. I'm not going to go too crazy with the details of like her day to day making food and like all that stuff, but I can honestly say that was the very first medical school UK edition vlog I've ever watched. So shout out to Faye Bate for making this video and thanks, she probably doesn't know I'm reacting to it, but thanks for bringing us in on this video. If you have people that you follow in the medical space and you want me to react to one of their days in the life, let me know in the comments below and we'll see if we can make it happen. As always, make sure you smash that subscribe button. I can't even talk. Make sure you smash that like and subscribe button please. Follow me on TikTok and Instagram if you don't already and I'll see you all on the next video. Bye.

In this video we provide the solution to question number seven from the practice final exam for math 1060 In which case we're asked to find the area of the provided triangle Notice that we have the three side lengths of the triangle two two and two times the square root of three In which case we need to find the area Huron's formula comes to mind Notice this diagram is not drawn to scale and since we have two and two it is in a Saucerle's triangle So we could try to use Like a 3060 90 triangle approach if we wanted to but we're just going to use Huron's formula in this in this situation So the area here is going to equal the square root of s times s minus a Times s minus b times s minus c where s is the semi perimeter It's the sum of the three sides divided by two So we end up with two plus two plus two times the square root of three over two This gives us four plus two root three over two or in other words two plus the square root of three That's our s value there and so when we look at all the possibilities We're going to end up with two plus the square root of three We're going to then get s minus in this case two that gives us a square root of three We're going to get s minus again This minus two why you're going to the square of three again, and then finally you're going to get s Minus here two root two that's going to give us two minus the square root of three like so now notice the square root of three times Itself is going to give us three and then if you take the square root Our two plus root three times it by two minus root three that's its conjugate that actually end up with four minus three This is still inside of the square root of course And so you end up with the square root of three as the area of this triangle and so we would select choice a

Welkom back to Ceciano and it's mixed from the next question. Remember we are still looking at the latest updates and we can't fail to mention about the FIFA World Cup Kata 2022. The time now, the stage is now 32 teams competing against each other to see who takes it on in the stage. And remember the final of the FIFA World Cup Kata will be held in what we call the Lusail City, Lusail Stadium, which holds the capacity of 80,000 people. And remember the opening match of the FIFA World Cup Kata match will be held in a bare stadium on the 20th. And the host country which is Kata will be hosting will be playing against what we call Ecuador on that same day. Remember there's going to be a lot of fun, there's a lot of accommodations, there's a lot of fun villages around fun entertainment performances, all the corners of Kata. And what are we talking about in the latest updates today? We are talking about developments that are cropping up every single day because of World Cup. Remember Kata is the first Arab country to host the FIFA World Cup and it's the final standing country holding the FIFA World Cup. And it is the second Asian country to hold the FIFA World Cup after 20 years from Japan after 20 years. And it was held last held by Japan and Korea and this is exactly what we are talking about right now. The latest updates that we have in Kata is that Kata introduced what we call a 2022 banknote, kumoretative banknote and coins in Kata. And most of the people and these coins, when you look at the interface of these coins, they bear the stadium that will be hosting the opening match. That is Alebe 8 stadium, then also future the stadium that will be holding what we call the final match that is a resale stadium. It also holds the shields and also the zapproport as part of the features on what we call the 2022 kumoretative notes. For those that have seen it, but however according to the sources, if you need someone needs to buy this note or these coins, you can buy it from what you call. The foreign exchange stores, you can also buy it from the banks. However, as much it is explained that mostly for the visitors that come to watch the World Cup, they will be mostly available for them because it is one way to show that I was in Kata at that time and it is kind of like us. For anyone that would want to buy the same, you can also go to foreign exchange stores, you can buy that kumoretative notes of 2022 kata, then you can plus also including the coins in case you need them. You can also go to what you call the banks, the banks are run, then you can sell patches that note. It's one way or it's part of the developments that have been introduced in Kata to kumoret or to celebrate the FIFA World Cup hold in this small Arab countries. Thank you so much for coming to Barsi Channel. This makes, I always give you updates, I always preach, I always give you the updates happening around Kata and Israel. Thank you so much for coming to Barsi Channel. This makes from the next creation. See you again in the next video.

我覺得 that they, for this a corresponding taste, are taken away, and that promoters were устickly on their inner conflict but all of them were gone. We have also made up quite a priority for some people and third party leaders in UK who supported the organisation to enable people to help others on their own areas. The council has definitely working those things out. Alison McInnes, to open the debate at seven minutes please. First, I would like to thank the members who have signed my motion congratulating Geary Homestart on its 20th anniversary. I am most grateful. Geary is an area in Aberdeenshire, centred around the town of Inverroory. The area has a lot of young families, many settled in the area from other erts and pairs. Not everyone has the extended network of family and friends that was more prevalent in earlier decades. The Homestart movement was created in 1973 in Leicester, when Margaret Harrison decided to set up a small pilot project. Explaining her decision to set up Homestart, she said, when my three children were young, I was involved in voluntary work with parents and children here in Leicester, in children's homes, with the family service unit, mother and toddler groups and the child guidance clinic as it was then. Invariably parents, many of whom were involved with social workers and other statutory agencies, would ask me to visit them at home so that we could really talk. An idea was born in 1973 and the idea was simple, that volunteers go into a family's home to offer friendly, non-judgmental support, support that stems from their own experience. It proved to be a great help and this is still the selling point and the strength of Homestart schemes, including the one in Geary. Margaret Harrison died earlier this year, but she has left a lasting legacy. Her small project in Leicester has grown and it has now spread to 22 countries. The UK alone has 288 Homestart organisations and it is estimated that the Homestart movement has helped more than a million children globally. In Geary alone, in its 20 years, it is estimated that Homestart's volunteers have helped 993 families with 2,122 children. Volunteers have spent an estimated 106,000 hours assisting those families, both in the long and the short term, and that is an enormous achievement. It shows real enthusiasm for the aims and values of the organisation by its staff and volunteers, all of whom deserve recognition, but let me name four people especially. Sandra Herbert, who was the first ever chairperson of the organisation in the Geary. Claire Smith, who has been a volunteer from the very beginning. She is the only remaining volunteer and she received her training at the very first preparation course ever organised. Angela Goudie has also been involved for some time and she first became a volunteer in 1996 and has been on the organisation's board of trustees. Special mention also goes to Valerie Tennant. She is the only original member of staff who is still with Homestart in Geary. Homestart aims to support families with children from their birth to age five. We all agree that early years matter and that Gerfek approach is the right one. The five years between birth and school are vital for a child's development. Giving children the best possible start in life is vital. It determines the opportunities and life chances children have. Children who are raised in a stable and loving environment are more likely to have a positive and healthy future and this is something every child deserves. Some might ask why Homestart's voluntary type of support is so important when we have midwives, health visitors, GPs, nurseries and playgroups and a host of other professionals. However, the answer is fairly simple. Truth be told, being a parent isn't easy as many of us here can personally testify. It's a role that is so important but there's no training and children don't come with an instruction manual. Parenting can be overwhelming and if you add in other pressures that we sometimes face in life, financial difficulties, ill health, isolation, stress, parents can sometimes struggle to cope. A young child caught up in that can miss out on the love, routine and stimulation that are so vital for their future. Often people don't like to ask for help from professionals and that's where volunteers can step in, offering one-to-one support and building rapport and trust. Many new parents lack confidence. Homestart volunteers help by spending a couple of hours a week with them, providing non-judgmental, practical and emotional support, helping to build confidence and family resilience. Volunteers are carefully matched with families and what help they offer is tailored to the individual family. It might be just someone to talk things through with or it might be practical help such as how to plan healthy eating, on playing and reading with children or even how to cope with sleepless nights. Lessons that children learn at this early age will follow them for the rest of their lives. This is the time when children develop their personalities, learn to express themselves and gain self-control, skills that will ensure that they can achieve their full potential. A UK department for children's schools and families study in 2008 suggested that the home learning environment in the early years is the largest factor in attainment and achievement at age 10, bigger even than the effect of preschool and primary school. Similarly, the millennium cohort study provided evidence of significant inequalities in development at age 3 that can persist throughout life. It is therefore important to support parents in providing a stimulating and supportive home environment. There are plenty of good reasons to value the work that Homestart does. Gary Homestart tells me that it plans to be around for another 20 years at least. It is making plans to improve the services that offer to parents and grow further. In co-operation with other Homestart organisations in Aberdeenshire, it has secured core funding until June 2017 from the local authority. Gary Homestart has expanded its expertise, with two of its now 50 volunteers trained to deliver the Mellow Bumps training programme, which will focus on vulnerable expectant mums. It also plans to offer drop-in support or play sessions during the school holidays. Finally, it is equipping itself to offer a triple P, a positive parenting programme, which is designed to prevent as well as treat behavioural and emotional problems in children. It aims to equip parents with the skills and confidence that they need to be self-sufficient and to be able to manage family issues without on-going support. I hope that you will all join me in congratulating Gary Homestart for their vision, and in closing I would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Gary Homestart, as well as other Homestart organisations, for the support that they provide to so many families and children. Their expertise is invaluable and their work is crucial. Many thanks. We now turn to the open debate speeches of four minutes, please. David Torrance to be followed by Lois Macdonald. I would like to congratulate Alice McKinnis for bringing this debate to Parliament today. I agree with my colleague that Homestart offers a valuable service to families not only in Gary, but in 32 communities across Scotland. Its impact is crucial on many vulnerable and marginalised groups, including lone parents and families, with a parent in prison. However, it also offers advice to step, foster and adoptive parents, as well as to grandparents who care for their grandchildren. Homestart's model of providing services has many benefits to local communities. Most importantly, it contributes to creating a happier and safer home, but the organisation also strengthens community engagement and cohesion by delivering services locally through volunteers. In Scotland, more than 1,000 Homestart volunteers support around 2,000 families. I believe that Gary Homestart is explicitly for organisational work. As of November, Homestart Gary celebrates its 20th anniversary. I would like to congratulate Gary Homestart on this occasion. In the past two decades, volunteers and staff members have assisted many young families with needs. Overall, the organisation has supported 993 families with 2,122 children. However, Gary Homestart would not be able to provide services without the dedication and commitment of many of its volunteers. Today, I would like to take this opportunity and thank volunteers in all the local Homestart branches across Scotland. It is truly incredible how much time and effort people dedicate to help those who are less fortunate. Volunteers are expected to have a parenting experience. Nonetheless, they receive additional comprehensive training, which concludes issues on child protection, the role of health, visitor and confidentiality. After training, each participant is marched with a family, with a volunteer-vin visit for several hours a week. The task that each volunteer takes differs greatly from looking after children to keeping parents company over a cup of tea. Homestart has also been a vital part of community life in my constituency of Kirkcaldy. In her own words, Homestart Kirkcaldy offers support, friendship and practical help to parents of young children in Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, Burntisland and Carren Den. Recently, Homestart Kirkcaldy celebrated its 21st anniversary, founded in 1994. The organisation has supported around 800 families in the area, yet its work is as vital today as it has ever been, especially when we think about the UK Government's welfare cuts. At the moment, 38 Homestart Kirkcaldy volunteers offer their time to help out families in need. Volunteers also support the Cresh, which is available two days a week. It offers a friendly, safe environment for children to learn through play experiences and have fun whilst their parents get a little break. These services can have a real difference, and much has been achieved, but we cannot neglect that our many prevailing issues affect families. As my colleagues will be aware, Kirkcaldy has a high rate of teenage mothers. Teenage mothers are often disadvantaged and face many burdens in raising their child. They are less likely to complete their education or to seek further educational opportunities. As a result, teenage mothers are more likely to be in receipt of some form of income-based benefit or employed in low-paid jobs. Another major issue affecting families is child poverty. The sad reality today is that one in four children in Kirkcaldy grew up in poverty. In Scotland, 50,000 children live in cold homes in winter because of parents who cannot afford heating costs. I believe that Homestart's work and especially its home visiting scheme has successfully addressed some of the aspects of these problems. Feeling supported with the gladness of one's circumstances can make an incredible difference by boosting parents' confidence as well as keeping up with daily challenges. In conclusion, I would like to commend not only Gareth Homestart and Homestart Kirkcaldy, but also other 30 branches in Scotland. Their work has benefited many families with young children, and I urge the chamber today to continue supporting organisations and devours. I congratulate Alison McInnes for securing this debate and for the opportunity to focus on the challenges of raising a family in an area that I know well. My own family moved to Inch when I was 11 years old. As a pupil at Inch primary school and then at Inverruri academy, I became ever more aware as I grew up of the inequality of certain and opportunities facing young people in the Geevy, as well as of the shared experiences of living in a rural area. Of course, in some respects, the needs of vulnerable families in rural Aberdeenshire are similar to those of vulnerable families across the country. Many are struggling to make ends meet because of low pay or because of cuts and benefits. Many are finding that the public services that they previously relied on are themselves under threat. In that sense, Homestart in the Geevy is dealing with very similar issues to Homestart Aberdeen, which has just relocated very successfully to the very centre of the city at one A offered place. However, what is different in rural Aberdeenshire is the increased sense of isolation, which families can feel when they are struggling to cope. That is why it is vital that a service like this is available there and that their services are delivered by people who understand themselves what that relative isolation can actually mean. Physical isolation has an impact on bringing up a child in a cottage, a mile from the nearest paved road, and a long way from the nearest bus stop. However, that is clearly a challenge in itself, but the lack of affordable housing in many of our rural centres sometimes makes such choices for parents unavoidable. Social isolation has an impact as well. Some of the kids in my class at school had to go to exceptional lengths in order to take part in any of the activities that happened outwith school hours—that is still the case—and parents often face the same kind of difficulties if they do not have access to a car. When things get tough, it can be an extra burden not to be able to meet and talk with people facing the same kind of situation. Having Homestart volunteers to turn to can make all the difference. Those volunteers can help and support parents dealing with a wide range of issues, but it is important to recognise that Geely Homestart is only one of several organisations that work together to help. It does not have to operate on its own. The relationship with Aberdeenshire Council is clearly important, especially in identifying vulnerable people who need extra support. Links with health services are important as well, and I am sure that Homestart staff and volunteers across the country will take a very active interest in the future integration of health and social care services and how it impacts on their role as the third sector. As Alison McKinnon has reminded us, Homestart operates across the UK and around the world and is part, and there is indeed within that a network of Homestart schemes in the northeast itself. There are schemes in Banff, in Bucking, in Concardin, in Deaside, in Angus and in Aberdeen and in Dundee, and they all make use of the skills and experience of volunteers to make a difference to people's lives. That, I think, voluntary input is absolutely critical. I would also make mention of another local voluntary organisation that works with many of the same families. That is Gordon Rural Action, which provides advice on welfare issues and debt problems across the wider garden area. It provides support to clients facing the threat of eviction or court action for debt recovery and gives the kind of specialised support that backs up the voluntary effort of Geely Homestart volunteers. The work done by Geely Homestart and its partner organisations in the last 20 years has been invaluable and has made a real difference to those who have turned to them for help. Staff and volunteers are to be commended for their efforts, and I wish them the best of luck for the next 20 years of supporting families in their local area. Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. I begin by congratulating Alison McKinnon on bringing this motion forward to Parliament for debate today. Also, before I continue, I offer the apologies of Nanette Milne, who intended to participate in this debate and has been called away to deal with other parliamentary business. However, I am delighted to have the opportunity to say a few words in support of Geely Homestart. It is in fact the case that in our rural communities there are often problems that are masked by distance and sometimes in areas such as Geely Homestart strangely by wealth. In one of the wealthiest areas anywhere in Scotland, we have to remember that in a broad rural community it is easy to be left behind and there are many who suffer deprivations within those communities who do so in an almost out-of-sight and out-of-mind manner. Communities like that, particularly Geely, are great examples of ones that work well and quite often families and peers work together to ensure that support is provided to families that need it when it is needed. However, if you are outside the range of your own family or your own friends, if you find yourself in that position where you lack transport or lack access to transport and begin to feel isolated, starting a family at the same time can be a major challenge and a major difficulty. It is therefore wonderful in my view that organisations such as Geely Homestart exist to formalise that traditional family or peer group relationship and take it into a position where it can deliver for those who are in need and how it can access those support mechanisms through a more traditional means. As we have heard in this debate already, there is, of course, a network across the rural northeast of homestart organisations that can provide that support. However, never let it be said that those organisations are to be left on their own. We must remember at every level that they require all our support, encouragement and, at government level, we need to look closely at the support that can be delivered at all stages. However, the vital thing is that no one should feel that they are alone, no one should feel that they are isolated, particularly in a rural environment, and no one should feel, especially when they are beginning the process of building a family and bringing up children, that there is no one there to help. That is why organisations such as Geely Homestart are so vital, particularly in areas such as Geely. For that reason, I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest congratulations to Geely Homestart on their 20th anniversary and look forward to another 20 years and more. Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. First of all, I would like to point out that it is maybe for people who are in office, it is easy, but for other people who are just working in the gallery today to listen to the debate, but we are in the right debate. It's a debate about Geely, even if some people think it should say Garyock or Garyock or anything else, but that's a good point because it does explain when it's in office, we've got a lot of people coming from abroad, from the part of Scotland, from the part of the UK, and you need to understand the local language. It's not always that easy thinking that Geely is in fact doesn't spell Geely, I speak differently. So, thanks very much for Alison MacKness to bring that debate there. Geely, Homestart in Geely is quite important. I remember meeting Marie Philippe here in this chamber in this Parliament some months ago when we did a presentation of the Homestart UK Scottish Manifesto to the Scottish Parliament, and it was very good to see them here and very good to see the network in the region, and it's a very strong network. One thing I would say, Presiding Officer, is that that network is getting richer and richer and people work in partnership. In January 2014, I went to North East Abernishire, where I saw what Homestart was doing for Banff and Birken and for the families in Fleisebara and across the area, and what's specific about it is that they were opening new facilities with children first. This is very important to see how we can have a different organisation who can work together and can support families, can support children, and working together. At that particular point, I was with the local MP Hayley Wyford, and what's important to us to understand is that families changes in this area of the North East. There are a lot of people coming from Eastern Europe. There are a lot of languages spoken. People are working hard if not have the time as they could to understand the local environment and to understand the schooling, so that maximum support is so, so important. Particularly when parents are separated. I know I spent 10 years as a single parent, and it's so important to have that support when you don't have the connection with the people around, so they are doing a fantastic job. I just wanted to point out that there is a network across the region. Homestart in Aberdeen has done very well this year with the new chair, Robert Harrison. They move from Asterik to Alford Place, and there will be the beneficiary charity for the coast-to-coast bike ride that will be undertaken by the BP staff. There are other areas, of course. There is the decide area, which is so important. My friend Linda Clark has been heading it for a long, long time, and it's all across the decide valley, which brings a lot of families, a lot of support. It's a charitable organisation, of course, and it assists very vulnerable families in rich areas, but there are pockets of poverty, and in rural Aberdeen Shire, you will find that there are people, young families, and families will be separated. We look for help. Homestart in Aberdeen is a bit higher. We look after buying, frankly, Magdorff, Portsoy, Tareff, and they are doing a fantastic job as well for all the areas there. You can all find them on Facebook now. It's a lot easier. Another one, Homestart in Cerdain, which is in Stonehaven, which offers a lot of support for the family. Do you draw to clothes, please? Always parents and always families get a lot of support all across the region. Thank you very much. I invite Aileen Campbell to respond to the debate minister. You have until 2 o'clock. To everyone who has taken part today, who has reinforced that it is geary, as opposed to what I thought it might have been when I was preparing for this debate. I particularly thank you to Alison McKinnis for bringing forward that motion and to everyone else who has taken part in the debate. David Torrance, who spoke about Homestart in Cercodi and Across Fife, Lewis MacDonald, who spoke about his own personal reflections of the Geary area and across Aberdeenshire. Alex Johnson is speaking about the impressive network of support that can be found right across the north-east. Christian Allard is well talking about his similar experiences of voluntary organisations in that region. In particular, I wish a very happy 20th birthday to Geary Homestart. You have helped thousands of families over the last two decades. It is an honour to mark such a significant milestone here in the Parliament today. Like so many of our dedicated third sector partners, Homestart plays a vital role in supporting our most vulnerable families right across Scotland's communities. There are many issues and challenges facing families today from perinatal health and social exclusion to isolation and access to services, social and rural isolation that was pointed out by Lewis MacDonald and Alex Johnson, and the challenges that were pointed out by Christian Allard around the separation that families can go through. I commend Geary Homestart and its colleagues for their work, the transformational work that they do. I also think that, in that point about the challenges that families face, David Torrance is absolutely right to point out the additional challenges that families are currently facing around the welfare reform agenda and the poverty that is facing far too many families in Scotland. The Government has invested more than £590,000 from the third sector early intervention fund in Homestart UK to deliver services across Scotland. In Aberdeenshire, Geary Homestart are members of the family's solution plus public social partnership alongside Children First, Homestart North East, Aberdeenshire, NHS Grampian and Aberdeenshire social work department. Through the early years change fund, we have invested more than £8.5 million to create a number of family support public social partnerships such as Family Solution Plus. Using an assertive outreach approach, those partnerships provide families with intensive support when it matters most to prevent problems before they escalate. The aim of Family Solution Plus is to improve and safeguard the wellbeing of those children who are not engaging in or accessing universal provision and also to increase family capacity and resilience. The partnership adopts an early intervention approach focusing on providing intensive support for families when they need it and those practical interventions focus on enhancing family networks to strengthen their own resilience. Again, I thank Geary Homestart and their partners for all the work that they are doing. The first Homestart scheme in Scotland was established in Perth in 1984. Today, across the UK, nearly 15,000 home visiting volunteers help more than 29,000 families every year, given more than 1 million hours of their time. In Scotland, more than 2,000 families equating to more than 4,000 children are being supported by nearly 1,000 volunteers through local schemes and the organisation now operates in 22 countries and five continents across the world. Alison also allowed the hours that are put in by Geary Homestart and the volunteers. She included a specific mention of Sandra Herbert, Claire Smith, Angela Gaudi and Valerie Tennant for the sterling work that they have done and done for a long time within their own local Homestart group. The energy and the drive of Homestart's well-trained workers and volunteers is absolutely inspirational. They make a significant contribution, not just in Aberdeenshire, but right across Scotland. Homestart volunteers support families with young children to deal with whatever lives they throw at them, supporting parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children. That approach very much chimes with the aims of our parenting strategy that seeks to raise the profile and value of parenting and to build on the assets and strengths of parents and to build their confidence and sustainable change. Alison McInnes was right to mention that when they have a child for the first time, they do not come with a manual. Therefore, because it is one of the most important things that any one of us can do, it is right that we support people in that important role that they have. Also, as Alison McInnes said, volunteers visit the family's home for a couple of hours every week, tailoring their support to the bespoke needs of the parents and children. They also run family groups and social events in order to give children the very best possible start in life. The work that Homestart does with those particularly vulnerable and socially excluded families is very much to be applauded. However, today also gives us a chance to recognise the dedicated commitment of those volunteers and also gives us a chance to reflect on what the volunteers also gain from the work that they do. I was interested to learn that Homestart UK has carried out work that demonstrates the positive benefits of volunteering on the volunteers, including increased confidence, further developed skills and knowledge and increased involvement within their community. We could go on and list more of those benefits, but I think those highlights show the importance of volunteering and what they get back as volunteers. Today also gives us a chance to recognise the third sector, because the third sector is a fleet of foot that is able to tailor its responses to urgent need. For instance, in preparing for today's debate, I took a quick look at the Geary Homestart's Facebook page and one particular post caught my eye. It said, We have a family moving into temporary accommodation who have nothing. If anyone has spare bedding, single beds, bunk beds, chest of drawers, sofa, kettle, crockery, it would go to a really good home. What they got in return was phenomenal. They got offers from across the region, from everything, from toys to garden rakes. It is that kind of example of that very practical help that is so powerful and transformational for what, when families need that particular type of help in this type of crisis. All of our policies for children and young people have one overall aim, and that is to improve the outcomes for every child and young person in Scotland. Again, we thank Geary Homestart for striving towards achieving those common ambitions that we hold, because what they do very much chimes with the rest of our policy commitments—whether that is through getting it right for every child, the legislative commitment that we gave to that through the act, whether that is through the early years framework, the early years collaborative, which embraces what the third sector can do within their local communities. It also chimes in very well with the work that we are wanting to do around developing Scotland's play strategy, and we also understand that they are doing more and more around mental health. We have a lot to learn from Homestart, and it is great today that we have been able to recognise the work that they have done on their 20th anniversary. All I can say is, thank you to Homestart and also to the next 20 years of success that they are doing in Geary and across Scotland and the UK. Thank you minister, and that concludes Alison McInnes's debate. We now move to the next item of business. I will allow a few seconds for members to change places.

A lot of people ask me, what is an aggravated DUI in Arizona? There's several ways to get an aggravated DUI. The lowest level felony aggravated DUI is a classic felony for having a child in the car who's 15 years of age or under. What does this mean? Well, you stop for DUI and you have your kids in the car. If you're stopped and charged with that, the penalty for that can be whatever the misdemeanor penalty for the DUI would be, except you also might have to do supervised felony probation and have a felony on your record. If you are charged with a DUI for having a child in the car, it's very important to hire a lawyer to get that knocked down to just an outright misdemeanor. That way you're not tagged with the felony record. Now, what are the other types of aggravated DUI? Well, there's a DUI because you have a third offense within seven years. That means you have two prior DUIs and now here's your third one all within a seven year span. Or you have a DUI while your license is restricted, revoked, canceled, or suspended. Basically what happens is you have a prior DUI and they suspended you for a period, let's say a year, and you get a new DUI. Or you have a prior DUI and they required you to put an interlock device or breath testing device on your steering wheel and you blow into that to start your car. What happens is a lot of people have, drive a car that doesn't have the interlock device and they get stopped for DUI, or they have somebody else blow into the interlock device in their DUI, or they simply blow into it while they're below an 02 and then the alcohol absorbs in their body and eventually they're above the legal limit and they get stopped. What are the penalties for aggravated DUI other than when you have a child in the car? On a standard aggravated DUI class four felony first offense, you're looking at four months in prison, day for day time, not jail but prison. If you have a prior aggravated DUI, it is lifetime-allegable. What that means is now you are looking at three to six years. Now it actually can be higher than that but this is the standard range with four and a half is the presumptive term in prison. If you have two prior aggravated DUIs in your lifetime, even if it was 20 years ago and 15 years ago and you get a new aggravated DUI, you're now looking at six to 15 years in prison, 10 years is the presumptive. Normally on those the prosecutor will offer you six years at the low end. So they're very serious charges even if it's four months in prison you do not want to have an aggravated DUI. If this is you give us a call.

Good afternoon to all of you and now welcome to this public meeting of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission We have one item on our agenda today Our CPSC staff will brief the Commission on the proposed rule Safety standard addressing blade contact injuries on table saws The CPS staff members briefing us today are Ms. Caroline Paul Mechanical engineer from the Office of Hazard Identification and Reduction Dr. Joel rec assistant deputy director for engineering sciences and Ms. Hyund Kim from the Office of General Counsel. I want to sincerely thank all of you for being here today and These three people and staff represent a whole team of people who have worked on this issue And so we want to thank all of them for being here as well at the conclusion of today's briefing Our staff will turn excuse me We will turn over the hearing to the commissioners to ask the questions. We have agreed to do three rounds of ten minute questions per commissioner and Then at that point we'll assess because if the commissioners have additional questions, then we will consider extending the briefing So with that we're now going to start the staff briefing. Thank you again for being here and please go ahead Good afternoon, my name is Hyund Kim. I'm in the office of the general counsel I'm here today with Caroline Paul and Joel Wrecked from engineering sciences We'll be discussing the notice of proposed for making to address blade contact injuries on table saws I'll be giving a brief overview of our statutory framework for issuing a standard under the CPS a Joel will discuss the staff briefing package and basis for the preliminary findings in the proposal proposed rule Section 7 and section 9 of the CPS a establish the requirements for the commission to issue a consumer product safety standard Section 7 authorizes the commission to issue consumer product safety requirements For a consumer product or to set forth requirements that a product be marked or accompanied by clear or adequate warnings or instructions Any requirements must be reasonably necessary to prevent or reduce an unreasonable risk of injury associated with the product Section 9 of the CPS a Specifies the procedure that the Commission must follow and findings that the Commission must make to issue a consumer product safety standard under section 7 The Commission has the option of beginning a rulemaking with a notice of proposed rule or an advanced notice of proposed rule For table saws the Commission began with an advanced notice of proposed rule Which was published on October 11th, 2011 the Commission received more than 1,600 comments Several hundred commenters supported the rule Other commenters who opposed the rule raised a number of issues The primary issues included whether proposed standard would mandate a monopoly Whether the standard would limit consumer choice and selecting table saws Whether the government should require individuals to use safer table saws and Questions were also raised about the efficacy of the voluntary standard and the use of the modular blade guard Joel will adjust these issues further in this presentation under section 9 of the CPS a Before the Commission can issue a consumer product safety standard The Commission must publish in the federal register the text of the proposed rule The proposed rule must identify the product and risk of injury it must describe Regulatory alternatives that the Commission considered It must conduct a preliminary regulatory analysis. It should invite and review comments The Commission must also provide an opportunity for the oral presentation of data views or arguments in addition to written comments When the Commission develops a consumer product safety standard Prior to issuing a standard the Commission has to consider and make appropriate findings to be included in the rule These findings include the degree in nature of risk intended to be addressed by the rule The approximate number of products subject to the rule The need for the public and the effect of the rule and the utility cost and availability of the product and Any other means of achieving the objective of the rule while minimizing adverse effects on competition There are additional findings These include whether rule is reasonably necessary to reduce an unreasonable risk of injury Whether the rule is in the public interest Whether the expected benefits of the rule bear a reasonable relationship to the costs and whether the rule imposes the least burdensome requirement that prevents or adequately reduces the injury In addition if a voluntary standard addressing the risk of injury has been adopted and implemented The Commission must find either that the voluntary standard is not likely to eliminate or adequately reduce the risk of injury Or that substantial compliance with the voluntary standard is unlikely Joel will now give you an overview of the briefing package and the basis for the preliminary findings in the proposed rule Thank you. Hi on Good afternoon Chairman Birkeland commissioners Caroline Paul is our staff expert and the project manager for table saws. However Caroline has just returned from an extended trip overseas And is still adjusting to our time zone. So I will be presenting this on her behalf I'm going to discuss the product description the incident data and hazard patterns recommendations to mitigate the hazards regulatory analysis adequacy of the voluntary standards findings and the staff recommendation So what is a table saw? We have a few of them in front of you Show but a table saw is a common power tool Used in many wood shops its purpose is to make straight accurate cuts in wood and other materials There are three major types of bent of table saws and these include bench saws All of the ones in front of your bench saws contractor saws and cabinet saws Bench saws retail for about a hundred and thirty to fifteen hundred dollars each They can be placed on a bench or a wheeled cart And they're portable including these heavier job site saws to the commission's left Contractor saws are heavier and more accurate and less easily transportable and retail from about five hundred dollars to two thousand dollars And cabinet saws are the heaviest most accurate highest end Table saws that consumers generally use and they retail from about twelve hundred to five thousand dollars some of the important parts of a table saw include a miter gauge and rip fence that are used to help guide the workpiece Also, there are important safety devices including the blade guard Splitter or spreader and anti kickback device. I'll talk about these more Woodworkers rely on table saws to make straight accurate cuts Which can either be through the wood dividing it into two pieces or into the wood, but not all the way through Through cuts both rip and cross cuts can be done with the blade guard attached However, non through cuts which go into the piece But do not go all the way through like the dado cut and rabbit cut shown on this slide require removal of the blade guard in in 1971 table saws listed by UL were protected by this type of device It consists of a single piece blade guard this part together with a splitter and anti-kickback Paul's The splitter prevents the cut wood from closing on the blade and These anti-kickback Paul's are barbs that allow the workpiece to pass in the correct direction But which dig in if the piece reverses direction This whole system is removed from the from the table saw as a unit So when the blade guard is removed for instance for a non through cut the whole Safety device with all of those parts of the safety device are removed the UL standard was updated in 2007 with an effective date of January 2010 and now current saws like the ones in front of you use a modular blade guard and a Riving knife the modular blade guard Was designed to provide a better view of the workpiece and to be easy to remove and reinstall Importantly the Riving knife and you can see this in the picture Moves up and down with the blade and can remain in place When the modular blade guard is removed and that provides some protection against kickback as well as some blade contact protection from the rear UL 987 has been the voluntary standard and is currently transitioning to UL 62 841-3-1 and this is being done for international harmonization Both UL 987 and 62 841-3-1 require the Riving knife and modular blade guard Neither of them require aim technology, which I will discuss shortly Currently manufacturers can list to either of these standards until August of 2019 when 62 841-3-1 becomes effective We analyzed emergency department treated injury incidents from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System or NICE in 2015 there were an estimated 33,400 table saw related emergency department treated injuries of those 92 percent or 30,800 injuries were related to table saw blade contact as You can see that includes 18,100 lacerations 5,900 fractures 4,700 amputations and 2,000 avulsions Compared to all other consumer products in the NICE Table saw blade contact accounts for 18.6 percent of all amputations And compared to other workshop products, which includes circular saws and band saws grills manual tools etc Table saw blade contact counts for 52.4 percent of all Amputations related to workshop products Also older consumers are injured by blade contact and the estimated mean age Of table saw blade contact victims is 55.6 years old Which is about 13 years older than the estimated mean age for victims involved in all other workshop product injuries Which is 42.7 years our epidemiology staff analyzed incidents from 2004 to 2015 and found no discernible change in either the number of table saw blade contact injuries or the risk of table saw blade contact injuries from 2004 to 2015 this includes the years before and after the modular blade guard was required in the voluntary standard in addition to our national estimates staff analyzed incident reports in our consumer product safety risk management system or CPS RMS These 53 reports are anecdotal and cannot be used to make national estimates However, they do provide more detailed information In 45 of the incidents we know what type of blade guard was manufactured with the saw and 11 of those were modular blade guards And with both modular and traditional blade guards We saw the same types of accident scenarios operator behavior and severe life-changing injuries We considered the human factors associated with blade contact Blade guards are removed for non-through cuts and also for preference to see the cut better Blade contact can also occur with the guard in place sudden stock movement can be unexpected and can cause a loss of control and the hand can contact the blade Hands can also be close to the blade for small cuts, especially if a push stick is not used Fatigue and inattention can also cause blade contact Also older adults with age-related deficits may be more susceptible However, we cannot quantify how much these injuries can be reduced through various types of active injury mitigation Active injury mitigation or aim supplements the blade guard and riving knife and consists of two parts First there must be some system to detect The contact between the human body and the blade And this detection could be based on electrical, thermal, optical or other properties Secondly once the system has detected the blade contact It needs to have some mechanism to react and mitigate the injury One example of a detection system is to use an electrical signal and monitoring of that to detect There are two aims Equipped saws in front of you and each of them uses an electrical detection signal also Switching back and forth, but on the on the slide in the rather complicated Diagram there. It's meant to illustrate that The there's a characteristic electrical signal coupled to the saw blade And that's monitored by the saw's computer Contact to the blade by the human body Changes the signal in a way which can be detected and differentiated from wood and That can be used to trigger a response One example of a reaction mechanism is to retract the saw blade beneath the surface of the table Again, both of the aim systems in front of you retract the blade saws After triggering although they do so in different ways with different mechanisms the one on Let's see the right Your left my right sorry is Accomplishes this by applying a spring-loaded aluminum block into the saw blade to rapidly stop the blade and use the angular momentum from that to drive the blade under the table The one on your right my left from another manufacturer Accomplishes this by activating a cartridge which combusts a pyrotechnic material much like an airbag activation and With that fires a piston which causes the blade to retract below the table Staff recommends a performance standard for active injury mitigate mitigation which requires that the maximum depth of cut to a test probe Representing the human body or finger be three and a half millimeters when that probe is introduced Radially to the rotating saw blade at a rate of one meter per second Staff believes that three and a half millimeters depth of cut is sufficient to avoid Microsurgery on nerves and arteries based on the anatomy of human fingers and staff believes that a one meter per second Approach velocity is appropriate for a performance test for the radial component of the hands approach velocity and It's also Notable that this is twice as fast as the calculated rate in more than a thousand activations which were recorded by saw stop Importantly staff found that this performance standard is feasible Testing of the two aim technologies currently available showed that they could limit the depth of cut To the test probe to less than three millimeters when approached at one meter per second Staff conducted a preliminary regulatory analysis and considered the societal costs associated with table saw blade contact Based on estimates from nice and the CPSC's injury cost model. There were an estimated 54,800 medically treated blade contact injuries in 2015 including 30,800 initially treated in hospital emergency departments and another 24,000 which were treated elsewhere such as physician's offices clinics and ambulatory surgery centers Society societal costs of these injuries amounted to about four billion dollars in 2015 about 30% of those societal costs were economic losses medical costs and work loss and about 70% represented the intangible costs associated with pain and suffering Amputations accounted for about 13.7 percent of all medically treated injuries, but almost two-thirds of the injury costs Staff analyzed the expected benefits of the draft proposed rule It would reduce blade contact injuries by an estimated 70 percent to 90 percent annually This would result in an expected gross benefit range of about $2,300 to $4,300 per table saw over its expected product life or an aggregate of about 970 million dollars to two point four five billion dollars over the product life of one year of sales That also looked at the expected costs of the draft proposed rule These would range from about two hundred and thirty dollars to five hundred and forty dollars per bench saw three hundred and seventy five to nine hundred and twenty five dollars per contractor saw and $400 to nine hundred and fifty dollars per cabinet saw The aggregate annual costs could range from about one hundred and sixty eight million dollars to three hundred and forty five million dollars per year Staff believes that the higher retail prices associated with meeting the draft proposed rule Would reduce market sales by as much as fourteen to thirty eight percent Which is ninety thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand saws per year This would result in a lost consumer surplus for consumers who choose not to purchase a new saw because of the higher prices Which could amount to ten million dollars to seventy million dollars per year Staff also considered royalty and licensing issues Manufacturers will likely license the existing patented aimed technology The royalty rates or other terms of potential licensing agreements are uncertain Assuming a royalty fee of eight percent of the wholesale price royalties could average about 37 to 57 dollars per table saw 99 dollars to one hundred and thirty five dollars per contractor saw and 187 dollars to two hundred and twenty three dollars for cabinet saw In total given the expected table saw sales and an eight percent royalty fee Aggregate royalty fees could amount to about thirty million dollars to thirty five million dollars per year Based on staffs benefit and cost estimates the net benefits, which are the benefits minus the costs for the market as a whole Was estimated to be about fifteen hundred dollars to four thousand dollars per saw And these aggregate net benefits would amount to about Six hundred and twenty five million to two point three billion dollars over the product life of one year of table saw sales A break-even analysis suggested that the benefits would exceed the cost for each major type of table saw bench contractor and cabinet for most plausible injury patterns Staff conducted an initial regulatory flexibility analysis Small manufacturers of table saws mostly Manufacture the cap contractor and cabinet saws Table saw manufacturers would be required to license or develop aim technology to remain in the market and Some firms are likely to reduce or eliminate the table saw as they currently offer or leave the market Therefore the draft proposed rule will likely have a significant impact on small manufacturers One small manufacturer saw stop could significantly benefit from the proposed rule The preliminary regulatory analysis and the regulatory flexibility analysis identified several alternatives to the draft proposed rule including Pursue table saw voluntary standards activities extend the effective dates of a possible rule Exempt certain categories of table saws from the draft proposed rule Limit the applicability of the performance requirements to some but not all table saws Or pursue an information and education campaign to better inform the public of the hazards of blade contact and the benefits of the aim technology UL 987 and 62 841-3-1 will not adequately reduce the risk of blade contact injuries Because the riving knife and modular blade guard do not adequately reduce the risk of blade contact injury No change was seen in injury or risk of injury before and after the introduction of the modular blade guard There were at least 11 reported blade contact incidents on table saws equipped with modular blade guards We saw similar injuries occur on table saws that were sold with modular and traditional blade guards The blade guards are not always used and blade contact can occur when the blade guards are in place Also, UL 987 and 62 841-3-1 do not require aim systems In making preliminary findings the Commission can consider frequency and severity of injuries There were an estimated 4,800 emergency department treated blade contact injuries in 2015 involving approximately 18,100 lacerations 5,900 fractures 4,700 amputations and 2,000 of Vulsions The adequacy of the voluntary standard modular blade guards and riving knives do not adequately reduce the risk of blade contact injury The amenability of the hazard to injury reduction Aim can reduce severity of blade contact injury from amputation to simple laceration Cost and benefit of CPSC action the estimated net benefits average $1,500 to $4,000 per table saw or 625 million to 2.3 million dollars per year and alternatives Less burdensome alternatives would not adequately reduce blade contact injuries on table saws therefore staff recommends This that the Commission publish an NPR as drafted by the also general counsel to address blade contact injuries on table saws The staff recommends an effective date of 36 months after publication of the final rule for manufacturers to comply with the requirements Thank you Thank you very much and thank you all again for being here today So I will begin that the that ends our briefing and I will begin the round of questioning as I mentioned each commissioner will have 10 minutes per round So I want to talk a little bit about The saw stop and the complaint that they filed against Bosch there was an ITC decision Can you brief us on the status of that matter? sure so on January 27th of 2017 the ITC determined that There was an infringement of saw stops patents by Bosch. There were two patents that were involved The ITC determined that the appropriate remedy is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the entry of table saws That incorporate the aim system and in order that the Bosch Company to cease and desist from importing selling aim and components that infringe on such patents the last day for The president through his US TR representative to review the ITC determination is 60 days from January 27th So in this case that period ends on March 28th 2017 The order will go into effect on March 29th 2017 We note that the Commission orders can be appealed at The US Court of Appeals for the federal circuit But that is the current status of ITC proceeding. Thank you Dr. Reck when you were showing us the two aim technologies the two types of technology You talked about the spring-loaded. So one is a mitigation and one is a detection technology So the aim Systems include two parts one part of any aim system is detection to Notice that it's a finger not a piece of wood and the second part of any aim system is some reaction to it Then there can be different types of detection systems there could be different types of reactions, right? Thank you, and and of the two the two parts that you talked to us about who owns the technology Is there any out anyone else besides sawstop who is that capability based on this ITG ITC decision? Well, so we we're not aware of other technologies besides these on the marketplace as far as the portions of that that were So you're asking if there's any other Manufacturer who has the same technology that sawstop is using for detection in the ITC proceeding the commission found that Bosch was in violation of two of the sawstop patents and those two patents Related to the retraction method rather than the electrical detection method. So I Don't think that that case definitively shows that there aren't other methods of even electrical detection signals that a Manufacturer could develop in the future. Thank you How will the ID ITC decision affect our rulemaking if at all? Currently we are waiting to see what happens without proceeding, but for the purposes of the proposed rule and moving forward We're I think that it would not have Significant impact on us and in terms of changing the scope of the current rule Thank you the NPR talks and it actually states that sawstop has filed more than a hundred patents And it mentions that some will Expire over a period of time. Do we have knowledge or information of all of those patents and when they will expire? so The whole web of patents that have been filed by sawstop is extremely extensive I Can't say that we've looked at More than the current ones that were before the ITC Commission but we know that this In order to determine the termination of dates of any patents is an extremely laborious and Extensive process that a late person would not be able to accomplish It's so it's so burdensome that the ITC asked sawstop To tell it's it when their patents would expire so we do not know when the majority of the sawstop patents will expire and To evaluate Any one of those expiration dates would take a huge amount of time and expertise that we currently in our Commission don't have Have we asked sawstop to provide that information to us that they're providing to ITC? They provided that information to ITC so we know that there are the two infringed upon patents they expire on 2020 and 2022 and Is sawstop going to provide that same information to us? We haven't asked We have knowledge of the expiration through the ITC Commission ALJ order. Thank you The NPR distinguishes and talks quite a bit about simple assurations those involving Damage only from the skin surface to a depth of about two millimeters to four millimeters I'm not sure which one of you is going to answer the medical questions And then just distinguishes between the complex and the simple lacerations the complex being cuts that are deeper than four millimeters In 2015 dr. Reck you mentioned that there were an estimated 18,000 100 lacerations from table sauce Do we know how many of these were simple and complex was that a distinction made in the course of? collecting that data We're gonna have that be come up to answer that question. Thank you Hey, so the So for the the 1800 18,000 100 is that was based off of the information from the nice so we just have the diagnosis code of laceration and That although occasionally a nice narrative might that the comments in the nice might give further details They have limited space, so it's very rare that we would know any details about the type of laceration Would we know that there were stitches involved that there was? Yeah, we don't have so within the nice. We don't have what treatments We don't have any kind of treatment codes for what how they put how the how any of the injuries were treated Just the one just the diagnosis code. Okay. Thank you very much Dr. Reck you mentioned this as well as the NPR that in some cases it was The blade guard was removed and you mentioned the non through cuts the dado and the rabbit cuts are We confident that that those numbers are correct in Terms of when they occasion the NPR says some sauce users users occasionally or even always remove the blade Now you mentioned two specific situations The two non through cuts right so we we know that it's Necessary to remove the blade for non through cuts at the blade guard pardon me for non through cuts the we did a modular blade guard survey Which was a us a Survey of 200 table saw users Who either owned a table saw Manufactured after 2009 or later or were very familiar with them That indicated that there were Blade guards are removed it It looked at different ways. So some people there was questions about for do you ever remove them? There were questions about do you remove them for non through cuts? And so it it shows that there are Cases where where they are removed as far as providing a definitive answer of how often They are removed. It's not a generalizable study It was not a statistical Survey in that way So do we have that information from any I mean we glean that information anywhere else? And it could be statistically valid that we could say in this many cases We know that the the saw guard was removed because I think that that's important information If we're looking at the scope of injuries with a table saw if they took off the table guard then how I'll leave it that I'll let you answer We have in so again not in the modular blade guard survey one of the questions was about how after after you remove the blade guard for a non through cut I believe was the question that when do you put it back on and The answer to that Was a range also and I guess some people put it on right after they finished the Non through cut and other people the next time they use the saw and other people it was later At a convenient time. Thank you very much. My time is expired. Commissioner Edler Thank you very much madam chair, and I just wanted to make a very quick short comment before I begin begin First of all, thank you to the staff for all the years You've spent to giving me advice and feedback and information about this particularly Caroline and thank you all for doing a very exhaustive and I think excellent package I note that dr. Gass and his colleagues petitioned us in April 2003 to adopt a performance standard for saws That would incorporate what we now call aim technology. That's 14 years ago in that time You can do a rough estimate, but somewhere on the order of 700 plus thousand injuries in 50,000 plus amputations have occurred Even as we're sitting here today during this day Across the land on average 11 consumers are going to suffer an amputation Another 11 will suffer a fracture and another another eight will suffer serious lacerations And that's just to put it in the context that we're talking about real human beings and real injuries So now to my mundane questions. The first one is I noticed in making the injuries Injury estimates you used non nice data as well as nice data Where did you get the non nice data from and is that what you would consider to be equally reliable? Data as the injury information we get from nice Are you referring to the CPS RMS? I am no not no no I'm referring to the injury cost model Off the hook The non nice or medically treated injuries are our calculated based on relationships gleaned from to HHS nationally sponsored data sources for the Less severe injuries that ones treated in doctors offices and clinics These are based on analysis of data from the medic medical expenditure panel survey From the agency of health care research and quality and for the Admitted injuries that bypass the emergency room. It's estimated from the National This is a mouthful. You'll have to excuse me the health care cost and utilization Project and a national inpatient sample so in both these cases a classification tree or Decision treats Technique is used to analyze the injuries which which creates these will or gets these relationships and in the first case we have to Maybe I can cut to the chase sure on metaphor but How reliable are these data are these data in your mind as reliable as the data we get from nice We haven't I think they're reliable that we don't have the covariance. We don't have the The same confidence info and interval information that we have for the nice but Yes, I think they're and it this is said the injury cost model is something we've been using for years And we use it and with the risk with respect to the development of other standards is that accurate For many years now, okay? We did two special studies both of which turned out to be unsuccessful special studies to try to ascertain the type of model of saw that was associated with injuries and I understand that the field and Epidemiology are conducting a new study designed to fix the problems of the previous Special studies Can you explain what we're doing with the new study and what we're doing to try to avoid the problems that arose with the previous special studies? Because the two studies had inconsistencies on the saw classification and they were conducted by the telephone and We determined that again, it wasn't reliable on the self-declared type regardless of the definitions we supplied So to counter that aspect The study that's ongoing now the field staff are actually Trying to go to the injured individuals home and take a picture of The saw which was associated with the injury so we don't have to rely on the respondent discriminating between one type or the other and and we Have started that again. They're based on the nice cases Starting in January 17 and There will also be the field in essences conducting an IDI we did again have a field protocol developed and Epi did train the field inspectors As a group as to what types of saws what to look for the questions to ask and So we think that those aspects are indeed by design Going to counter the issues that we had over the telephone non-visual type of Discussion so when this new study is completed. Do you think it's fair to say that we will be able to make a Proper determination of the types of saws involved in injuries. That's the objective of this new approach I wanted to ask Carolina question is it okay even though you're suffering from jet lag I Keep hearing hints and snippets about the injuries on bench saws versus cabinet saws that There's a suggestion that cabinet saws might Account for more injuries per saw than bench saws Now if there's anybody who's looked at the bench saw design and the cabinet saw design It is caroline paul. So I guess my question is Just with respect to the engineering design the design only not the use patterns just with respect to the engineering design Is there anything in the basic design of a bench saw that is safer than the Engineering design of a cabinet saw well, it's part engineering design and and Who you are as a woodworker so that there are Intric prime so in terms of engineering design Something can be perfectly parallel to something else or perpendicular and in that instance in terms of a cabinet saw You have a product that is highly engineered to have a flat surface a rip fence That's parallel and all of these are things that a woodworker would tell you that prevent kickback a bench saw My design has a smaller tabletop and we'll have a rip fence that is of less quality So here's the hypothetical if all cabinet saw users switch to bench saws Do you have any reason to believe they would then suffer fewer injuries because they're using bench saws and not using cabinet saws That's a hypothetical. That's a hypothetical. Yeah I can only based on your knowledge of engineers and engineering. I mean of engineering design of table saws based on Physics and engineering design if you have something that is more true And you have a piece of wood that is going through a blade that's less likely to come out of true It will be less likely to have kickback on which one Which ever one is more true and I see and which one is based on your knowledge of bench saws and cabinet saws which one I Guess most woodworkers will tell you the cabinet saw. All right, we got it. Okay Then I'm not gonna be able to have time to ask this next question I guess just a general question There are a variety of injury scenarios that occur when somebody's using a table saw this not necessary question for Ms. Paul as I review the scenarios. I've trouble seeing how any of them really result from significant consumer misuse but we do have this whole issue of blade guards and the removal of blade guards and Joel when I looked at the briefing package that study which you say is not statistically representative said that The something something out of 60% of people surveyed do remove the blade garden that said sometimes 28% often 17% and always 14% and yet you explain and I'm just gonna ask you quickly to explain again No, I'm not. I've just run out of time, but I'll come back to you. Thank you Thank you Commissioner Robinson, thank you And I really want to thank a staff and I see so many back there who were involved in putting this package together and thank you very much for the meeting with me and for your Your attempts to give me very honest answers And I really want to thank you also for the candor in both the package and in your responses in our meeting with respect to the deficiencies we know we have in our data and The effects on the analyses that you were asked to perform and I think that's very helpful in terms of us making a decision Of how we should proceed One quick question There was there were alternative actions contemplated in the NPR that excluded cabinet and contrary Contractor saws from the mandatory standards Standard, but I didn't see anything that considered the alternative excluded of excluding bench saws Can somebody tell me why I? Knew you were back there. I just couldn't see you The reason bench saws weren't included in that category was because most bent saws are probably used by consumers Contractor saws and cabinet saws are more likely to be used by professional users consequently if the Commission wanted to limit the standard to You know some specific types of saws If you were going to exclude some of probably be most reasonable to exclude the the saws that are more likely to be used by professionals that makes sense. Thank you and There is an estimate in the package and Dr. Wrecked you you mentioned it as well that the effectiveness of the AIM technology Specifically saw stop and the Bosch reacts of 70 to 90 percent. Can you tell it and tell me what data you base that on? Yeah We tried to Well, it's difficult to know precisely how many injuries are going to be prevented But in this case we tried to think of the ways in which injuries would not be prevented and we came up with a list For example in some cases the hand may be for some reason may be flying at the saw so quickly that That the saw will cause a lot of damage even though it has the AIM technology on it That's a possibility in some cases Sometimes the AIM is deactivated if you're cutting wet wood or or wood that may be or if you're cutting something That's conductive like aluminum. So sometimes people are going to be Turning the AIM system off The use of the AIM system may in fact result in other changes in safety behavior In the form of reducing safety efforts for other of their prop potential problems For example, if you think that the saw is going to protect you from blade contact for some reason You might not think it's so important to have a ribing knife Which can you know affect kickback or you might not wear goggles and things might fly into your eyes So there's a possibility that people could reduce their safety efforts. We don't really have any evidence of that at this point but that's a possibility and Actually, there were some comments that we got for the AIM PR that suggested that that might be the case and Then there's also a risk Associated with substitute products if for example, you stopped if you didn't buy a Table saw with AIM technology because it was so expensive You might use something else like a hand saw and that might have that might lead to more risky behavior in some circumstances and and then of course as the engineers Indicate over and over again. This doesn't actually prevent injuries. It just mitigates them mitigates them substantially But there will be some some injury. So the 90% we assume that the remainder That might be not prevented for about 10% okay, that's very helpful. Thank you I know that the big huge hole that we have in our Data right now is the type of table saw that is actually involved in in causing injuries And I know we've tried in oh seven or no eight and from data and 14 and 15 Surveys to find this out and I know that they've both been deemed Unreliable and all of the information from them was disregarded. So in the absence of information Identifying which saw has caused injuries. I know that you pursued the break-even analysis and again Thank you for your candor on on what the problems are with this You set up four Hypotheticals one was injuries are proportional to saws in use and every table saw has an equal likelihood of injury You have the second one of risks of all are equal over their lives The third one is risk is proportional to their retail sales price The fourth one is blade contact injuries by table saw type are proportional to the median retail Prices and I appreciate you did the best you could but without information on saw type We know we know that it very well Maybe that none of those are assumptions are right is that right correct? Okay? So in order to be caught to to complete a more fulsome cost-benefit analysis it's my understanding from our discussion the other day that what you need to know to do a more fulsome cost-benefit analysis is first of all if there was blade contact and I'll just comment that I'm satisfied from from the package and from his garland's comments that are nice people But our epi people rather have been very careful and and conservative in selecting Nice data that in where there has been blade contact the second thing is severity of injuries And we know we could get that from the nice data And so the third thing that you're missing is the type of saw and you need that in order to correlate it with one and two Is that why I say the first one you said exactly correctly We'd have a more definitive. I only get one out of three. Well 90% let's But but the second item is we don't really know what the distribution of injuries is in other words What what percentage of injuries occur on table bench saw is what proportion happen on? Cadmet saws and so forth right third is it is the severity issue right if we had the nice Injury estimates by table saw type right we'd be able to figure out what types of injuries were occurring on each table saw And that gets at the severity the break-even Analysis kind of deals with item number two the and I think that the break-even analysis shows that that regardless of what the injury distribution it is it looks like Probably the benefits would be greater than the costs for for all of the different saw types I understand that and and but with the and I understand the premises that that you use because you did a great job of explaining that And I appreciate it. Let me say that we know that exempting contractor and cabinet saws would lessen the impact on small manufacturers and that it would reduce possible OSHA jurisdiction overlap But we have no information on how many contractor and cabinet saws are involved in consumer injuries We know that page two and three pages two and three of tab C sums up our problems with not having this survey data and The cost outweigh benefits in some saw types. So to do our analysis You told us that with no data on this you made assumptions on the number of injuries that could be Prevented the hypothetical distribution of injuries across saw types and the expected post regulatory sales, right? right, okay, as you know My office just found out that there was this flaw that has been known to at least a couple of commissioners for many months But we just found out about it and since then have been spending an enormous amount of energy Circling how we might be able to correct what seems like Really basic data element and that is the kind of saw that's used now I guess I have a couple questions with respect to these previous surveys And let me focus first and this may be something for probably something for for epi but the in 2007-2008 the flaws as they were described in the package were because the interviewers were asking Confusing questions so that people's responses were such that you you could end up with a conflict with respect to the saw types But I just learned yesterday that a number of the the reports the 821 sample Injuries from the 0708 have the manufacturer name and I just I I guess I knew that but what I didn't know Is it a number of these manufacturers? Only made one type of saw so I guess my question is I understand that we need to exclude the Subjective information because of the questions asked and the answers given but has anyone gone through these 821 Reports that we have to see if we have any objective Information with respect to saw type whether it's manufacturer whether it's a photo Whatever it is. I just wonder if anybody's tried to do that We have looked at that and and we're in the process of Getting that answer In a way that we can get it to you probably Tomorrow or the next day terrific And then I guess I have Really the same questions Well, if we were able to have I guess I have to ask the follow-up to that if we accept that I have three more seconds, so I'll wait until the next round. Thank you. Thank you Commissioner Robinson commissioner Kay Thanks, madam chair. I don't have any questions. I just wanted to thank the staff for a phenomenal job I thought it was a very strong package certainly as commissioner Adler mentioned time continues to tick and Consumers deserve some type of response to the this ongoing injury Pattern whether it's this particular rulemaking or some other one, but I have no questions at this time. Thank you Thank you commissioner over. Thank you madam chairman and thank you staff also For the amount of time that you've spent addressing some very specific questions that I've offered over the course of a couple of weeks and those answers have been shared with my colleagues on the commission and It's a it's an area of interest for me in doing a deeper dive looking at From a compare contrast point of view the ANPR and the NPR and I think some of those elements would be worth going into in a little bit greater detail here as I think I'm not the Only one looking at how different the the net benefits and the benefits As they were identified between the ANPR and the NPR so in terms of looking at some of the leading indicators to Drive the benefits part of our cost-benefit analysis. I first wanted to look at the table saw blade contact injury trend analysis and that really gets to a look I think at what was intended to be a study of the effectiveness of the modular blade guard that that went in in a voluntary standard and And I apologize if you mentioned this in the briefing But do you know what year that went into effect or when we would imagine probably the better number when products in the marketplace We're likely to have the modular blade card so the the the Voluntary standard with the modular blade guard became effective January 2010 around and in 2009 They started appearing in the in the market In advance, of course, right? Yeah, so I can and then obviously it takes some time for them to penetrate the market But we went all the way through to 2015 And by which time there there were many There's some overlap so but by 2010 Everyone was providing we would have expected to be penetration for new product sales to include the modular Modular blade guard. Great. Great. Thank you, miss Paul. Yeah, and we yielded we looked at the at the blade contact injury trend per 10,000 saws in the marketplace and Maybe to our disappointment the quote that I want to reference and that was in the presentation from earlier today No discernible change in the risk of injury associated with the table saw blade contact So that leads us to believe that the that the changes made in that in that latest version of the UL Standard didn't have the impact that we were hoping in terms of addressing The risk is that correct? Okay, so the rates of injuries have been the same if there was a discernible trend I know the package mentions that we don't see a discernible trend if there were one What would be the kind of reduction that we might be able to look to and say well, you know Perhaps the modular guard is and other in other efforts education or anything else is having an impact Is there a percentage that we might suggest that? That that leads us to believe that it is having a beneficial safety impact But I would have sir speak to trend analysis because it's If that's too difficult to answer to I would accept that's too hard to come down with a number I don't necessarily have an exact number right, but as the time progresses away from when the voluntary standard went into effect We should expect us to have a larger percentage in each year of soles in use to be there and That I want to quote an econ number, but I don't know if they'll By 2015 they estimate about a third of the of the soles in use should have been Should be compliant. Oh, thank you. Okay. Well, that that's a helpful transition Because I did want to talk about the number of saws in the in population. So I Discovered we have a CPSC product population model Can you want to briefly describe for us what that what that is? Or maybe how long that's been? How long we've had the benefit of that model the acronym is PPM PPM That's all I can say Since the 80s, we've had the model since the 80s. Yeah, and basically it uses estimates of expected life and There's certain things that go into the parameters For the for the distributions or several distributions that are available. We tend to use a gamma But not to get down in the weeds. Anyway Simplify what it does it projects out the life of the product according to As I said shipments Shipments, which we've done product life, etc. And then failure rate exactly failure rates so that We can make a Projection of the population of saws in use for each year So And then that yields okay terrific, and I noticed that from the a NPR The PPM yielded a result of 10 million products in use table saws in scope to the rule and then in 2015 that number was reduced 18 percent to eight eight point two million saws according to the to the PPM And that's on page 15 of tab C So the third element of a leading indicator I want to address is the blade contact injuries now from the staff briefing package both from our nice data from Addressable blade contact injuries We've got thirty thousand eight hundred from nice plus another twenty four thousand as Commissioner Adler got to from our non nice data for a total of fifty four thousand eight hundred in the a NPR we had a total of I think sixty seven thousand Three hundred that is thirty three thousand and a half from nice Thirty three point eight from non nice so between the a NPR and the NPR the addressable blade contact injuries went down 20% Between the a NPR and the NPR so I don't think I can ask this question without some help from a visual aid and Dr. Rect I think there's some slides that'll help get to the big question that I want you to answer here that first with the total population of saws in use down Almost 20% So those are the saws from the PPM Gone down 19% excuse me and then next slide if you will Dr. Rect the blade contact injuries were down 20% between the a NPR and the NPR and finally Next slide please the rate of table saw injury remaining the same and then the third saw third slide yet after all these decreases and a stable rate of injury we're finding the achievable benefits have Surprisingly gone up 72% from the a NPR to the NPR and I know you've given me a 10 page document to describe that but for a lot of other Interesting players playing along at home given those other leading indicators all going down by significant numbers or staying flat One would expect that the achievable benefits would have commensurately gone down or remain flat yet They went up 72% Can you provide? for I guess the record how that? How those benefits increase 72% Well, there are several there are several things going on with the injury cost model since the a NPR first of all The a NPR used 2008 is the price level the current estimate uses $2014 It turns out that about 45% of the increase from the A NPR to the NPR is related to price level adjustments plus Updates to the injury cost model that we've incorporated over the last several years. I think we've incorporated about Four updates over the time period and it's kind of like a you take a car to get it worked on and they They fix the wheels one time and the generator the next time well we kind of Add things to the injury cost model as as as we can get better information So about 45% was related to the increase in price level from 2008 to 2014 and updates in the Injury cost model about 55% was related to the increase in hospitalizations Relative the the in the a NPR about 4.2 percent of the hot there about 14.2 percent of the injuries were hospitalizations That went up to 19.2 percent Yeah, 9.2 percent in the NPR so a little bit more than doubled Plus there was an increase in amputations for some reason that we're not clear on I'm short on time and I appreciate that But that's why I want to get this out the quotes that we just saw before is there is no discernible change in the number of injuries or the type of injuries related to table saw blade contact from 2004 to 2015 that you just said the type of injury amputations have gone up significantly as well as Hospitalization so how do we? How do we align that quote with what you just mentioned? Well, you know, I don't know the full answer to that question part of it is Epidemiology just looks at the numbers of injuries where we're looking at you know the cost of those injuries and there was a substantial increase in the number of hospitalizations over that time period and There was an increase in amputations though Significant it was about a 2% increase in amputations, but since amputations account for well since they only amount to about 13.7% of injuries and almost two-thirds of the injury costs a small increase in amputations can increase the injury costs quite a bit in This case four hundred and thirty million dollars. We consider that non discernible Now what? Not discernible no discernible change. I'm sorry well It's a discernible to us, but we're not looking at it in the statistical approach. I'm sorry. I'm out of time Thank you very much. I want to go back to what we I was talking about a little bit I'll go in terms of the lacerations because I'm concerned That were we're really not getting to the root of the severity of the injury and I did hear from mr. Rogers or dr. Rogers that We Weak the type of saw will get us the severity information and I wanted to kind of explore that a little bit the questions from commissioner Robinson You mentioned that that the type of saw will get us the severity information But when we talked earlier with dr. Wrecked it was a question of if in the nice code We just talked about lacerations. We couldn't discern which was a Severe or less severe laceration, so I'd like you to just comment and explain that type well When I say severity kind of what I was really talking about was the cost of the injury And I'm using cost as kind of a proxy for severity so If you have more amputations that would make it a more severe injury and I'm thinking of it because the injury costs go Way up. We don't have you know, technically a severity measure but Looking at you know the proportion of hospitalizations and the proportion of amputations both of those going up to some extent That would indicate an increase in severity to me But what we don't know is if the different saws are affected differently by that by that change I mean it could be and this is just hypothetical It could be that amputations tend to be treated. I mean tend to occur with bent saws Primarily because people the people that use them may be novices. They don't use it very often Whereas the cabinet and contractor saws tend to be used by more proficient users But we don't know. I mean it could I mean that's one possibility another possibility is that Cabinet saws are used so much that they may account for for the great majority of injuries or More injuries on a proportional basis if we had if we had the information from nice as to what You know what type what what the injury pattern was for each of these saws it might turn out that and again This is purely hypothetical. I don't know have any idea whether it would would happen or not But it could be that the costs for the average cost we came up with is about $74,000 per injury. It could be that the injury cost might have averaged a hundred thousand per bent saw But 90 you know 60,000 per cabinet saw, but we don't have that information But that kind of information would affect our cost-benefit analysis potentially. Thank you. Thank you very much I wanted just go back to Commissioner Morović's Because his line of question he had the no discernible change In the number of blade contact injuries from 2004 to 2015 Even if the number of lacerations Hasn't changed. Is there any way to know and this goes back to my my question the hazard? Is it possible there could have been a reduction in the in the more complex lacerations? rather than So we say there was no discernible change but could it have been that there was a Decrease in the complex lacerations and an increase in the more simple lacerations is that possible? It's possible, but we have no way to to quantify any of that We don't have a way to know how what it was before after even any current state that we we don't have a way to measure The complexity of what the laceration was okay, and even if those two nice special studies had not We haven't it didn't have difficulties with the subjectivity in the asking questions We still wouldn't know that answer is that fair to say from from those two special studies Yes, the current special studies attempting the current study being conducted by our field investigator is requesting pictures and and other Medical information from the respondents to attempt to collect that type of information. Okay. Thank you. I wanted to just talk a little bit about If a table saw user uses a glove, how does that impact the Ames technology? On the the current Ames systems that are available Don't Begin to react until the conductive Part of the human body touches it it would depend somewhat on the glove, but typically Gloves are not conductive, and they're not going to react until Finger contact occurs using that current system And the standard that's what it says so after blade contact It must stop before three and a half millimeters of cutting into the finger Or the test probe actually, but specify cutting fingers Thank you In you alluded to this or someone dead I'm not sure about the in the MPR talks about it as well There's situations when the aim technology is going to be going to be disabled voluntarily because you're cutting through a conductive Material or wet wood or something and so Can you how common is that going to happen? Is that something that you should factor into this? and Greg mentioned that We did factor that into the effectiveness we know that some You know metal is cut on table saws So that that is You know, we don't know exactly how much One thing that these systems do have though As opposed to when one removes a modular blade guard it remains removed until they replace it, but when they saw the power is cycled it goes back into the Activating the aim system automatically so that there's It doesn't require a user input on the next use of the saw to return it to Ames So you could disable it and then it would be ready to go the next time next time you use it Is that if I'm understanding you turn off the saw and turn it back on it? Automatically goes back to having the aim system activated. Okay. You have to keep disabling it Yes, okay, but if you left it on it would be disabled until you turned it off or you Okay The mention of OSHA was made by Commissioner Robinson, I believe And I'm just wondering it does OSHA have the jurisdiction and the authority to regulate table saws OSHA has some regulations currently That ensures safer work environment for table saw users Some of these regulations involve the use of guards or push sticks so Those regulations are primarily though to promote safe practices in the workplace rather than in the home environment and they Allow for training and outreach which the homeowner would not have access to so I think the Standards that OSHA requires Would not really meet the safeguards available for consumers in the home environment Thank you, but I think what we're considering here today is an overlap on some level because we're talking about commercial saws. We're talking about So is there an overlap of the standard or excuse me of the rule developing? Yeah, there could be an overlap between OSHA and CPSC regulations, but we have under the CPSA CPSA under section 31 the statute says if a Risk of injury can't be sufficiently addressed by OSHA then the CPSC has also authority to regulate such a risk of injury Thank you Very high proportion and I think this is for mr. Dr. Rogers and if you want to stay up at the table It seems like we keep calling you up there. I know you probably don't want to but We'd love to have you at the table The very high proportion of the cost benefit and the benefit estimates relate to pain and suffering And I'm wondering if going back to my original question Do those does that pain and suffering and suffering and that estimation does is that related to? Obviously the lacerations, but it does it distinguish again between that simple versus the complex laceration to the the pain and suffering estimates are based on a regression analysis of jury awards and One of the important one of the factors that goes into the is into the estimates is the type of injury that was involved So I can't remember precisely how lacerations fit into the model, but but there might be a variable that picks up laceration injuries We wouldn't distinguish between severe and unsevere Lacerations except to the extent that the model also includes an estimate of economic losses I mean that's one of the important factors of pain and suffering and so presumably if you had a More severe laceration that's going to increase medical costs and lost wages So that would implicitly so it would implicitly impact on the pain and suffering estimate that way if that answers your question Thank you. I'm out of time and I'll just pick up where we left off when I come back again. Thank you I just wanted to pick up on a point that chairman Berkel is raising that when we're talking about lacerations at a minimum These are lacerations that result in medically Attended care either you're going to an emergency department or you're going to some kind of medical facility So we're not really talking about things like paper cuts here. Am I correct in stating that? Probably, yeah, although I hate paper cuts That's real pain and suffering I mean whatever people would go to a doctor to see yeah, I just assume most people don't go for paper cuts And I'm not gonna comment just now on the pain and suffering. That's something I think Commissioner Robinson Knows well and knows what the calculations are from jury verdict Service, but I did want to go back to the breakeven analysis because in the breakeven analysis you you listed four hypotheticals And my understanding is you listed a scenario in which bench saws produce more injuries because they're more of them To scenarios in which cabinet saws have a higher rate of injury because people use them more But you did state in the briefing package on tab C page 58 that you tried to pick the most plausible Injury distributions, and so I guess my question is Are you satisfied that you picked? The most plausible and are there other plausible? Hypotheticals that you didn't Analyze well, I mean you could continue thinking about plausible We well that's what I'm saying. I'm limiting it to the term you use plausible You can think of some bizarre what we tried to do was come up with an array of Distributions that kind of cut cover the gamut of possibilities I mean we tried to come up with some in which the risk on a bent saw was greatest and Some were the risk on a cabinet saw was greatest Because given that we don't know what type of saw is used and we don't know what the injury distribution is We wanted to see how robust our findings were with respect to these alternative injury scenarios and So we tried to come up with we came up with for that We thought were plausible and they kind of have a wide range of different risks for different saws So I felt we were kind of comfortable that this covered Yeah, and actually it looks to me like you covered the field of what again what I'm called plausible injury scenarios You did want and by the way and almost all of those the net benefits exceeded costs usually by A large amount the one instance where the net benefits slightly Exceeded excuse me net cost slightly exceeded benefits. This was one. I think it was hypothetical for Where you had to make an assumption that cabinet saws presented roughly 40 times the risk of a bench saw Even if cabinet saws Present greater risks. It seems to me 40 times the risk of a bench saw Is is a pretty extreme one? So to me that feels like you've covered the field and I just thought I'd make that observation, but my question is Assuming that the special study that's underway that we've heard described Provides the missing information. Is there any additional data you would need in order to do your cost-benefit analysis? No, okay, and in fact, you've sort of done the cost-benefit analysis You're just waiting to see which one of those the special study Confirms plus also The costs on the specific type of sauce, okay and now I want to go back to The removal of blade guards and again the staff said that removal of blade guards is necessary and proper on occasion and Again, can you explain when and why this is justified and the reason I ask that is you said Necessary and proper meaning sometimes you just have to do that am I correct? Correct if you take a woodworking class and learn how to make a non-through cut they go through the process of How to do so and you use the top portion of the blade to cut partially into the wood And you have to push the weight all the way across and therefore you can't have the obstruction That's presented by the blade guard there Even when you don't have to remove the blade guard my understanding as a complete novice is Blade guards can interfere with a consumer's ability to make very precise cuts. Am I misstating that or is that accurate? That can be somewhat subjective and if you're making very narrow cuts they can get in the way and for some people It's a visibility issue And I heard the same thing about safety goggles that they can interfere with the consumers ability to make a precise cut And that probably varies from eyesight to eyesight and I did notice that you said elderly seem to have more Accidents that obviously resonates with these old bones up here I did also want to ask just in the question of any information you have with respect to consumer misuse Do you see a significant number of instances in which consumers are operating? table saws under the influence of alcohol or drugs No, we did not and did you see any significant number of instances in which you saw thrill-seeking behavior or reckless behavior on the part of table saw users There are other products where we've seen that as our colleague Commissioner mojorovic is reminded us but on these Probably multiple definitions of reckless, but in general most of most of these incidents I Are we don't have many details on them from the nice of course, but it That's my overall impression of them as I've read through Thousands and thousands of cases is that almost all of them are typical what you would expect of a typical use of the table saw and Again with respect to the obviousness of a hazard the staff does say that you got a rotating blade So it's pretty obvious that it can cut you But that doesn't really answer the question about the obviousness of the hazard and one that consumers actually Can recognize and I want to quote from the briefing package Even consumers who are fully aware of the hazards and how to avoid them may suffer from slips or lapses that could lead to blade contact and injury despite the consumers best intentions to use a product safely And you say human error is inevitable even among expert woodworkers, so do we see that Even expert woodworkers are suffering injuries The experience level the woodworkers not in the nice data, so that would be something from our reported data And I don't believe we have that level detail Back to the adequacy of the voluntary standard and you've pointed out that you health has tried Oh, how they've tried to get aim technology incorporated into a voluntary standard and All times the industry has strongly rejected this technology Do you see any likelihood of aim technology being adopted on a voluntary standard in the near or frankly the far future? Not based on the past two votes, but we can always hope Just out of this is a side question You said there are alternatives to detecting human contact with a saw such as electrical thermal visual Electromagnetic and ultrasound boy that sounds very Technical and perhaps geeky Is anybody to your knowledge looking at these technologies just out of curiosity? Look those technologies are used for sensing in other product types But we're not aware of product using those for table saws And I was curious because aim technology is being talked about on Table saws, but could this be used on other products that cut and slice radio saws band saws chain saws hedge trimmers But we're not aware of any that are Okay The staff estimates that estimates that the number of table saws sold annually could decrease by about 90,000 to 250,000 units annually Could you again explain how you came up with those estimates? I mean basically we figured figured out what the increase in the price of the saws would be We used a con the concept of elasticity which is a technical term that means the percentage change in quantity given a percentage change in price and from a source we used a an elasticity estimate of for home Products of some sort that included power saws among other things and so we I mean so simply we've multiplied the Percentage change in price times the elasticity that gives us That gives us then the percentage change in quantity that would be demanded And that's I mean I think that answers your question. Maybe that isn't no it does answer my question And I've got a longer question, which I'll have to withhold on. Thank you very much Thank You Commissioner Adler Commissioner Robinson Ms. Garland I have a couple quick questions for you Am I correct that when you in my understanding from your answer you gave me yesterday because I asked you how we Excluded work related injuries. Why don't you just tell us so for from the nicer CPS RMS? from the nice So from so nice For the part that CPSC staff uses it's by definition non occupational injuries There's if an occupational injury came came through and was coded in nice It would in turn receive a weight of zero and be excluded that so we have so there they are What's representative is supposed to be only? Non-occupational injuries. There is a small proportion of unknowns there and for table saws Everything in life, but that but what we exclude them as a general rule. Yes, okay The other question I just want to make sure I understand of the two surveys the 821 number in the 275 those universes You pulled the nice reports enough to have information about some information at a minimum about Severity of the injuries right whether it's amputation, right? We have diagnosis and body part excellent, okay So it's back to you. Dr. Rack because you answered the question. I was asking about the 2007 2008 Survey and you said that you were going back and looking at it. Can you just tell me what what you're doing? Well staff analyzed that previously in 2014. I published a note about not using it And why and in that it included an evaluation of what we could and couldn't glean from that in terms of looking at a different way is looking at the what the consumers said about the drive what the consumers said about the Saw type what they said about the make and model right and and you know, so we're we're looking at that again to see You know it it seems to indicate that it's not usable Really to get at any of that We're you know, we we just talked to you yesterday about it where we're right back at that right so what I hadn't thought of yesterday is the Because that when I spoke with you it because I didn't realize that and in an awful lot of cases if you just know the Manufacturer, you know the saw type. I didn't know that until yesterday So I guess my question is specifically I understand the report we put out in 2014 And I understand why we said we couldn't rely on it and understand that it's because of subjectivity that that became part of that Survey, but again, I'm going back to my question if we can find objective evidence of a saw type in any of these cases Or is that something that we're looking at? There's Garland's coming up. So maybe she's the one doing it so the 2014 So that the report that's being referenced here. So that was part of the analysis When we did the staff reclassification the subject matter experts look through each one considered anyone that had manufacturer Model information horsepower all of that and yes, it would so when we were doing that we also accounted for Whether a manufacturer only made a certain type of saw so that's reflected in that 2014 report so it's so what I what I don't know is What percentage of those were able to tell the saw type from that objective information do you know? So I apologize I don't know on page seven sorry that on page seven and the staff reclassification that so basically after always said and done after look considering the manufacturer and everything that We said that 81.1 percent was unknown type of saw Okay, and did you do the same thing with respect to the 2014-2015 data? Objective evidence that no so for the for the 2014-15 study we ran into a different type of problem Right It wasn't you know, we did not look at it We didn't because of the the overarching issue with that study. We did not do the same type of analysis Okay, but do we have information? I understand the interviewer effect and I understand the problem with that But again, that's that's an interviewer asking questions and coming to up to coming with the judgment of what type of saw it was Do we have objective evidence of what saw type? That that we asked what not we did we did have questions in there that in that included Manufacturing model and I don't have the results in front of me So I do not know but is that something we could take a look at to see if we have objective evidence from that survey and I think that Okay, I'm trying to come up with any answer in the world so that we can get type of saw because it's just such a critically important information 2014-15 study that staff's recommendation is still stands that we just don't rely on that data. I understand that That's not my question. My question is whether we have objective evidence of model number or manufacturer that we could use to make any sort of conclusion that is has a foundation from Objective evidence not from the interview about type of saw From the nice record No, that would be the only so for from from my perspective. Sorry that I understand you're excluding that I'm asking you just for a moment to put on another hat of problem-solver because I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to resolve this in the 2014-2015 275 cases do we know have we looked at whether we have any objective evidence of Saw type in any of those cases. It's going to be the same as 2007 studies They're going to be some that have the manufacturing information some that don't so we'd have to go back to look at that to answer your question Okay, obviously for 2007 2008. We've already done that But I but I'm just asking if we can do that about the 1415 it was a question was asked was not always answered Sorry, there's a question that was asked. I understand that but that's not my question My question is we've obviously gone back and looked for objective evidence in the 2007-2008 data. I'm asking if we could go and do that same thing with respect to the 1415 We'll have to get back to you on whether or not that's possible. We'll take what we're looking at at the data And we'll okay, but the possible I'm asking I'm obviously not asking my question very well part of the part of the question is whether or not we can rely on even what the answer was so is it objective information or not that we have and how much of that do we have and is it enough of it to Count so I can't answer. Let me ask it a different way Could we go back and look at those? 275 cases and see have if we have manufacturer or model number for the size or pictures Yes, we can physically go back and look at this um With the 2017 in-depth investigation that you're doing Miss Strelka you have explained about what you're doing with respect to saw type Are there is there are there other data that we're trying to get from that? 2017 more thorough analysis with the field investigators coming out other than then definitive proof of saw type For purposes of this package Yes, we're trying to collect also through the IDI Information about the hazard scenario About the injury and About what safety? Mechanisms were in use at the time Okay, so we're getting information with respect whether it meets the voluntary standard in other words whether it has a Modular blade guard and whether it was being used that's our objective Yes, okay, and is that information that I guess I'll ask the group because somebody can answer Is that information that we think is important in terms of our analysis of how well the voluntary standards working? Because we've essentially as I understand it we only have one person who's told us that they had the guard in place And still suffered an injury Well, we think it's useful information and that it will help inform If the Commission directs us to go forward to a final rule that it'll help us inform us with that information That it's important information Okay Can can you tell me a sorry miss Strelka? I'm not dead yet Can you tell me why it is and maybe it was not you who chose this but why it is you chose a 12-month period and What I'm getting at with this So you can answer whichever of these questions you want is whether we could get enough information That econ would be comfortable relying on For purposes of looking at types of saws involved Involved in injuries and the severity of those injuries in order to do a better cost-benefit analysis than then the break even I'm just wondering if we could use a smaller Sample size in terms of are we looking at 12 months because of numbers we need or Because it's neat or I'm sure there's an epidemiological. Yes, there is indeed to have enough responses Basically IDIs that Can project nationally? We know the distribution of table saw types differ Some of them are less obviously and so in order to be able to pick up enough incidents to project that nationally we think yes a year is Designed in to hopefully project. Okay. I'm out of time. Thank you Thank you commissioner cake. Thank you madam chair I have no more questions at this time, but I understand commissioner Mojarova could use some extra time So I'm going to yield to him Thank You commissioner K. I appreciate that very much and Dr. Rogers if you wouldn't mind joining us because I know he's back Because I spent my first round of questioning getting into that difference in the ANPR and the NPR specifically the increase in benefits of 1.7 Billion dollars and you did a fantastic job of Providing that to me and I wanted to take a little bit of time here to summarize that You started with the with the first Explanation for that difference between the ANPR and NPR as an increase in health costs, which amounted to 790 million of that 1.7 billion Right the price the price level increase plus changes in the injury cost model And I went back and looked at that period and determined a compound aggregate growth rate and with health care in the news every day about a five percent Compounded Growth rate for cost seemed to make sense and and for me at least back of the napkin Certainly legitimized that amount and then you also mentioned that that 1.7 is made up a 480 million increase in the increase in amputations that you saw from a NPR to NPR now I'll still leave it out there as a criticism I don't know how we lead on page one with there's no discernible change in the type of injuries related to table saw I would think that would be clearly Amputations, but you don't have to comment on that the last part We didn't time didn't allow for you to have the opportunity to describe is the final Contributor to that 1.7 billion dollar increase was the increase in the Hospitalization rate and how that's such a big driver I wanted to give you the opportunity in a minute or so to describe that and why we're seeing such an increase between the Formulation of the a NPR and the NPR in hospitalization rates I think we would understand how that's a big driver of cost, but maybe if you can get to why we're seeing increased hospitalization, okay To what we were talking about earlier today. Yes, sir There are two reasons why well as I mentioned earlier the proportion of hospitalizations increased from about 4.1% in the a NPR to about 9.2% In the NPR and I'm talking about the injury cost estimate the injury at cost model estimates not necessarily nice But that's made up of two components one there was an increase in the nice estimates of amputate hospitalizations and on top of that since the a NPR one of our contract task orders was used to better estimate the proportion of Direct hospitalizations as opposed to going through nice first I mean we have most of most of the hospitalizations you go into the emergency room and you get then you go into The hospital at that point when the doctors send you there But in in in some cases and it's not as many but in some cases You might be directly admitted say you'd see a physician and they say you'd need to go into the hospital immediately That in so Not only did the nice estimate of hospitalizations go go up but our contract work showed us that in the 2011 analysis we were probably using too small of of a direct proportion of hospitalizations So it was a combination of those two factors excellent. Thank you I just wanted to give you the opportunity to wrap that up because I found it We we've spent a lot of time together on it as soon as just a couple hours ago And I wanted to give you the opportunity to mention that third important factor and thank you very much For explaining that for those playing along at home. I wanted to get to a different subject I want to talk about the comments so the comments were identified In the the overview briefing. I recognize that we had 1,600 comments on this rule The also the briefing package was very was forthright and into indicating that 1,466 of those comments were against the rule while only 134 were in support of the rule so to me I'll use the word overwhelming that to me is an overwhelming amount of 32% of the public being against this rule and this to me is a point about self-governance. It's a point about Political legitimacy. It's a point about the Constitution beginning with the words We the people of which we're sworn to uphold and also the fact that for those of us all of us serving The public should listen closely to those who are privileged to serve at what point in time with the sample size of 1,600 comments Would staff ever relinquish and just say look we're in the end We're serving the people and the people just don't want this as much as we think it's helpful as much as we wish there was Aim technology on everything is there is there a percentage? Is that ever crossed the mind of the team and that's a question for you miss Paul at what point in time? Do you would you ever step back and say? This is so overwhelmingly Rejected by the American public. We ought to rethink this and pause before Going forward with rulemaking And I ask you as the project leader and and as one who might be able to Capture some of the thoughts of the team and was this something that was ever considered by the team too that maybe we ought to at least pump the brakes if not Recommend terminating based on the overwhelming will of the people and I don't mean nine out of ten comments 92% of 1,600 comments coming in well as a project manager. That's I Can't say that's one of the thought processes I go through when I'm putting together a package and in terms of comments to you know a federal register notice I'm looking for substantial comments, and so I look past the opinions and all the Comments that are being made that aren't necessarily substantial and I'm specifically looking for what do we need to respond? so Are the comments just looked at barriers and obstacles to overcome as opposed to informing our government on what our government should be Should be I see them as really valuable sources of information to inform us. I don't see them as barriers So is there any indication of at what percent of of a large sample that staff might consider? Withdrawing from a rule if it's not 92% We'll go through another round of comments and some and the public might want to hit a certain number if there is if there's one out there I don't believe that's I think Dr. Rack wants to jump in I just wanted to say I mean like we did address You know all of the comments and not individually, but in groups within the package, so you know we Certainly were informed by the comments and we're seeking additional comments with this package if the commission moves forward But it's the substance of the comments that we're interested in not the quantity and we certainly welcome them all Okay, I just say that as one who has also put forward and worked with my colleagues to support a In interpretive regulation and had having overwhelming Feedback from the public Negative to that I went scurrying back to the corner with my tail between my legs and figured It's time to reset as opposed to pushing forward Relating of course to fire walk fireworks. I want to talk about unintended consequences I mean I noticed that we had a recall associated with the table saw Recently with a metal foldable foldable stand was collapsing. There was nine injuries including fractures lacerations and amputations and I think these are the kind of hazards and performance measures that are addressed in the voluntary standard Also in the epidemiology memo and appendix B the staff acknowledges the use of quote homemade table saws and quote and That staff expressly removed the incidents where there was an indication that the product was a homemade table saw none Unlike what was described when we knew definitively definitively that an incident was a result of an occupational injury If in fact we double the price point for a benchtop table saw at retail How many consumers do we expect to push into the DIY homemade table saw option? We don't know the answer to that, but that was as Greg mentioned part of the reasoning behind less than a hundred percent effectiveness No, and I appreciate that it's difficult to ascertain but as much as we did an excellent job in understanding the loss of consumer surplus perhaps by the elasticity and a Decision points for consumers to no longer is that kind of a risk-risk analysis something that we can come up with to understand then commensurately if we push the Opening price point of a saw to a certain point that folks will and I've googled it myself. I won't do it with the phone convert my Circular saw to a table saw and you'll leave immediately see an eight-point list that comes up into one two three four five six seven eight How you can make your own table saw table saw out of a circular saw and I'm concerned if we push that pipe price point up And I think that's the kind of risk-risk analysis That should be considered. Is that something that? And I do recognize also we're soliciting comments on that Is that something that we're considering here? Well, I mentioned earlier the part of the reason we think that The effectiveness would be less than a hundred percent is because people might use substitutes and those substitutes might have the risks have additional risks But okay, we can't really quantify What you're talking about? I mean it's likely to happen I suspect but we don't know how frequently what happened. I mean if I Mean it with our highest cost estimates. We reduced Bench saw sales by a substantial amount I don't remember exactly what it was, but I would imagine some of those people would would use substitutes Or actually one thing they might a common response would be to keep an older table saw longer They wouldn't get rid of it But if they didn't have a table saw and they couldn't afford a new one They might use some substitute like a hand saw as opposed to a table saw Thank you, madam chairman. I notice I've gone over the spend time that I believe the chairman chairman Excuse me the commissioner K yielded his 10 minutes to you. Did you take 20 minutes? I don't think you did not yet But I promise to respect that extra minute and a half I've gone over in my 10 minutes if that's okay with with you madam chairman Okay resetting the clock Thank you very much, mr I didn't realize that that was part of what the consideration is in the 90% effectiveness the alternatives which might include homemade table saw So thank you for that answer. I didn't pick that up in the package the last Question that I have had to do with the small business impact that was projected and I'm and I'm curious why there wasn't an analysis of The impact that this proposed rule might have specifically on the construction industry And I realized that we've taken out the work place related incidents, but I think we all know that contractors buy these saws I mean after all one of the defined categories are contractor saws are they not so in the original in the initial regflex analysis from page one Defining the the general purpose of the regflex analysis as quoted description of and where feasible an estimate of the number of small entities to which the proposed rule will apply and There's no estimate or indication of the impact to the construction industry specifically the small construction industry, I appreciate the work that was done to Evaluate the impact on small manufacturers of table saws But why not consider the impact? I would think the relative impact on the construction industry for Significantly raising the increase in the price of these saws Would Dwarf the impact on small manufacturers of the saws themselves Susan Yeah, the direct impact of the rule will be on the manufacturers and not the also in the construction industry is an indirect impact However, if you look at the cost of the saw even if they have to buy You know a solid year that is going to be a fairly small percent of their total revenue There it's raising the price of the saw they buy But chances are that saw itself is going to be They're gonna have a lot more revenue. We generally consider something a significant impact or potentially significant if it's more than 1% so if a table saw goes in the price by To use a higher estimates, you know a thousand dollars to be 1% the Construction companies revenue would have to be More than a hundred less than a hundred thousand a year and that's assuming they're buying a news table saw each year Okay, I understood that's that is But let me ask you this if we were considering what is a significant rule That's a rule with an impact of how much a hundred million that's greater than a hundred million a hundred million and our costs Identify here are how much over a billion there? I'm more than a hundred so if a significant rule is one that has a cost impact of a hundred million dollars or more And we're identifying costs here of over a billion dollars Do we not expect that there at least be a hundred million dollars in costs that are born in the born to the construction industry? Which would trigger a whole level of reporting requirements in the federal government so that everybody is well aware of the small business Impact of what would in and of itself? It was so if it was only applying to the construction industry would be a Significant or a major rule is defined and I think you know 12, 866 I was looking at the regulatory flexibility act, which is right to Likely be significant substantial number of small businesses. I think this other thing you're talking about is like the Congressional Review Act where you're looking at the Major rule being more than true But I'm just wondering why we didn't look at the impact of the to the construction industry if the total costs of the rule are And is it what is it over one billion? It's a I'll talk to you. Thanks. Talk to right. I honestly don't know Okay All right, that's it. Okay, so that's not the billion dollar number. I was just citing so a hundred a hundred and seventy Okay Well, I hope that's taken into consideration To me it seems that the the small businesses and especially in the construction industry would be Disproportionately impacted by the rule and I hope we might be able to do some analysis Just to know for sure what that impact would be on them. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. That concludes my questions madam chairman Thank you I want to give the staff the opportunity we will have one more round of questions But if a staff would like to take a break for ten minutes, we can do that and then just reset a real recess for ten minutes And then or if you just want to slog through this Keep going okay All right. Thank you. So I Want to just piggyback briefly on one of Commissioner Mohorovic's Congress questions of you There are saws out in the marketplace right now with the Ames technology. Is that correct? Yes, and so Consumers can choose to buy them or to not buy them correct Correct, and so some may not buy one because they're expensive because they don't think that additional expense is worth it And so they don't buy it So my concern is is similar to Commissioner Mohorovic's in that are we imposing our will Rather than letting the market work The technology is available the saws are available And if the chooser if the consumer chooses to buy a saw or not that really is something that we You know we probably shouldn't interfere with and I that's really more of a statement than a question I do want to get back to some of the data issues that we've all raised here today because I'm thinking primarily of a recent court decision that called into question the reliability of our data So I think that that's a lesson learned that we all need to be cognizant of it as we go forward as an agency I don't think we want to find yourself in that situation. So I went through The package and I want to make sure I understand the the studies and our sources of data because and I and I hope you'll add to this and help me understand that in In addition to this what we're doing in the 17 with the 17 data is going to provide us the robust data We need so the first thing I have was we reviewed all the incident data estimates from nice for table bench saws in 2015, right? But we've we've agreed that nice is pretty broad information It's it can't tell us the degree of the severity of the last duration So we we know that there was contact with the blade, but we don't know much more beyond that is that an accurate We also know Some of the severity and phrase and we know if there was a fracture or an amputation You know, so there's different levels of We have those different Diagnoses my concern is it is Your table that the lacerations do account for the majority of the injuries, but so so beyond that then we did a We compared the distribution of table saw injury characteristics against all of their workshop products for related injuries for 2015 is that information Incorporated and used in this in the NPR You mean in terms of costs or in terms of the data Making giving us confidence that the data that we're proceeding with in justifying this room making is it's in the NPR Yes, I mean that that information is is in the briefing package and it's it provides some context to the Injury patterns, okay, and then we talked about the CPS RM information, but that's anecdotal that isn't I think that in during the briefing the reports that were submitted through that that was anecdotal. That's really non-statistical Correct, and then we talked about the two nice special studies that we had difficulties with and so they're not They're not we can't use those the questions and all that followed from that or two subjective Now we're going to take this different path. We talked about the modular blade guard survey. That's not statistical So my concern is an agency is the data that we're relying on I mean, I think we all agree that there are some gaps here and some voids How are we going to? If it's possible between now and an NPR and a final rule remedy that situation so that our data is Robust and there is the package could provide justification for rulemaking We think the package provides justification for an NPR Currently as it stands That's why I recommended it We are seeking the additional information in the 2017 study that we've discussed and we think that will help inform us moving forward Okay, I Well, I'll just leave it at that because I am concerned And that's not a secret to anyone. I am concerned about the integrity of the data I want to talk a little bit I had meetings and I think many of my colleagues did with PTI the power tool and industry and they shared some injury statistics with us on the new modular guard versus the older traditional guards and The the increasing trend in safety with regards to the most recent UL the 7th edition of the UL standard has as our staff considered the data that PTI has provided and Have we considered that in this and in our analysis of this rulemaking? So I don't have the the actual data. I have the summary that was provided by PTI and So the I had Several questions concerning The the methodology and what's actually being compared here and the fact that it's on anecdotal reporting Something similar to our CPS RMS, which as a statistician I would Would say that the same thing I said in the in the package that's for the CPS RMS that conducting trend analysis on the anecdotal data Isn't valid it for Fair Is it valid due to the being anecdotal and to rely on the nice for any trend analysis and statistical changes? Have we met with the industry the PTI have we met with them? Have we had a tech-to-tech meeting have we kind of followed the ROV model where we actually engaged and shared data and information So that we're Understanding each other's approach to this We have through working groups with through you. Well PTI has participated in those working groups But we haven't done it with a tech-to-tech meeting such as we did early on with well We'll both window coverings as well as ROVs We have met with PTI in the past, but we have not Recently Believe they asked for a meeting, but we haven't finalized that meeting Okay, I would be interested in and we can talk further about this the the How we reconcile the data they provided to us and Our data and to just make sure we're like you say I'm as garland that we're looking at the same information That it's not anecdotal and to see where they're coming from with that information. I Want to talk just briefly and my time is running out here with regards to the technology that's being used in What we've been talking about so the briefing package suggests and we've talked about in direct you did a fine job of going through The technology that's being used here and that's the electro magnetic But there's alternative technologies have we looked at do we understand what's out there have we checked to see if There's patents of this is being Right now if there's you know patents out there and if this This is being looked at is potential Well, I so we're not aware of any products on the market using these other technologies for Table saws. I mean, there's certainly the sensing technologies of a variety are used in other products My car does all kinds of sensing and other things do too But how it would apply to a table saw so we talked earlier about saw stop and their patents and It's very possible that there some of their patents cover some of these detection methods Just in a review of the patents they submitted to the IC ITC One of their patents did Talk about variations and modifications to various sensing systems including motion detector Electromagnetic field sensor and optical sensors However, as I mentioned before That was not one of the patents that the ITC found had been infringed upon so It is very possible that There are patented technologies not just by saw stop but but by other manufacturers out there and existing patents We just don't know how they would be viewed if there was a patent medication in a review in court or by the ITC so It is possible Thank you. I Want I wanted you just to ask Ms. Garland to come back up just for a second I have one other question and my time is running out with regards to the The data and you mentioned PTI's data may be too anecdotal to use We've acknowledged some of ours is anecdotal. How about saw stops? Data to the agency have we've used that in this package and if we relied on that in any way I Have not reviewed that data myself Okay, has anyone in the agency has that been incorporated into into the briefing into the NPR It was submitted as comments, but we didn't use it in our economic analysis or epidemiologists. Good. Thank you very much commissioner Adler Thank you very much madam chairman And it's always a delight to be up on the same table with that commissioner Mohorovic because he raises incredibly important and interesting Policy questions, so I guess one question I would have going back to the number of comments that were filed that were negative with respect to the A&P are when we Published that did we say this is a plebiscite? Will you please tell us how you want the commission to act? You don't have to answer that And I Guess that I do have a more serious question and that is typically when we publish an NPR do we not tend to get responses from the people in the business community the Manufacturing community who be directly affected by that and do we not typically have more of them saying we don't like this Then those saying we like it. I take that head shake is an affirmative I thought I didn't have to answer that no leader well And I just make another observation that there are a number of things that that we as a society have mandated that people don't necessarily Like I think if we were to do a plebiscite on whether kids should be able to drive under the age of 16 We might get an interesting array of responses or the ability of teenagers to drink under the age of 21 I think we might get to some skewed numbers But that doesn't mean that we as a society necessarily Support that simply as a plebiscite and the one that also I think is One of those that I think society's had the most trouble, but it's also produced one of the greatest benefits is mandatory seatbelt laws But setting that aside I did want to Ask Just a couple of questions one is with respect to Higher prices resulting from the safety standard you make what I think is the valid point that Safety standards tend to be mitigated in the longer run And that's an important point to me because to the best of my knowledge In those of you have sort of historical perspective. I'd like to be Corrected if I'm wrong Virtually every safety standard that the CPSC has promulgated in other agencies like NHTSA They've had prices drop once the industry begins producing Compliant products for two reasons economies of scale and increased expertise in production our is anybody aware of any standard that we Mandated where of course prices go up in the short run But where the prices have increased over the long run as opposed to dropping over the long run Okay Thank You dr. Right, you know just just to address your question in the regulatory analysis We did point out that it was possible the prices would drop in the future Although we didn't know how much that would occur, but we pointed out that Over ten years if we assume that the prices that we Used in the analysis were correct for the first five years, but then after five years Prices went down that if after five years they went down by about a third Then the ten-year Average cost would be about a hundred and forty to two hundred and ninety million Relative to the 170 to three hundred and forty million and if prices dropped by two-thirds That the ten-year Annualized average would be about a hundred and twenty to two hundred and forty million a year, so yeah So we can't quantify what's going to happen, but but yeah It's not completely unexpected the prices might drop in the future well the the closest analogy I can think of would be lawnmowers because Any this these are rough numbers because I don't remember them well, but something on the order of 30% price increase on some models of lawnmowers after the Commission mandated lawnmower standard today You can buy a lawnmower from pretty much the same price that they were selling even with inflation that for the Cost that they they required when we did the mandatory standard, but the difference is they're for 50% fewer injuries So there is that that's why I say it's useful even with cost benefit to look to the long run not just to the short run and so now back to my one of my major concerns and that is Seniors you said seniors suffer injuries at a greater rate than younger ones and The estimated mean age for table saw blade contact injury victims is 55.6 years Whereas all other workshop product related injury victims have an estimated mean age of 42 percent 42 0.7 any idea why there's such a discrepancy with respect to table saws as compared to other home products No, we don't know the reason for that if it's usage patterns or other factors. We don't we don't know Okay, just to add we didn't say rate. It's just those were the numbers we had for 25 No, those yeah that I did I say rate I didn't mean to say rate And I guess the other question I would have with respect to Special study that's underway now the 2017 study unless I'm mistaken. We are hoping to get a statistical Statistically representative picture from that Study as it is it is tied to the nice Data, so if we get if think it's intended to provide something that can be extended to national estimates And I guess just a final comment. I appreciate chairman Berkels Raising the issue of tech to tech meetings with the industry Where I find there is a huge difference between this situation and the ROV is in this situation We've just had this technology voted down decisively twice in recent years by the industry. I think there's Precious little hope that the industry is going to show much interest in aim technology So at least to me that's a significant difference. Thank you. I have no further questions Commissioner Robinson Yeah That correct you said that what we have in this package in your opinion is enough for an NPR. I think Chairman Berkel has raised what is really the elephant the room for everyone In terms of the recent court decision, which makes all of us very very careful More careful than ever although I think in my four years and they've On the Commission we've been we've been very careful But more than ever that we make sure that our bases for a mandatory rule Are really strong and throughout this package? I think each of the directorates has made Comments about the paucity of the data and the problems with the the speculation That has had to be used because of not knowing and the most essential piece as we all know is we don't know What types of saws are involved in blade? Related injuries and while I understand from the 2017 data We hope to get some more information about the use of a lot the modular guards on on saws that meet the standard I think you saying that would be useful is about as strong as certainly in my opinion at this point That information would be but I think the type of saws involved in these injuries is absolutely essential so I I guess One of the things I would like someone on the team to address is with respect to this I think At the moment and let me make sure this is true that the only plan for Enhancing our data to make it stronger between now and when we might consider a final rule is this 2017 survey is that right? We also invite comments on a variety of matters But in terms of what we're going to do internally so that we have Statistical data that we can rely upon to do cost-benefit analysis. We don't get that in comments typically We get that internally right? Well, I think we do ask some questions that relate to that and then depending on what comments we receive we may Seek to do additional work. I mean that happens with other rule makings that we do Okay, so in terms of what we're going to do internally. It's that 2017 survey. Is that right at this point? Is that our plan? At this point, yes, okay, and what can you tell me what aspects you as a team think we're going to Be addressing in the final rule that you expect to get from this 2017 Survey that would be essential I think it will help to Address the cost-benefit analysis We're looking to get information on usage patterns on Blade guard use right some of the things that help inform your decisions The most essential information I take it as the type of saw that's involved in blade related injuries, is that right? Yes, okay, I Know we've tried this This has now been been about a 10-year effort in trying to do this We've had two surveys. We both know that both of them had to be the results had to be discarded So can somebody tell me what we're going to be doing in terms of checking? I'd be interested in how we came up with the methodology to make sure this time we get it right and Also, what we're going to be doing in the process of the next now nine months To make sure that at the end of this time. We actually have data that we can rely upon We found in both of these special studies That it was difficult for the Participants to distinguish their saw if it was a table saw from a contractor saw and Contractors saw saying oh well I'm a contractor. That's my saw and We found it difficult to do through the telephone So to remove that uncertainty We collaborated with compliance and its field staff to be able to go out and get pictures to actually have Evidence that the subject matter experts here can look at and we also built into that our Protocol for the field To tell them and train them as to what type of table saw was there, okay? I Know we only talked about this a couple days ago And I didn't have the sense that anyone had really thought about it But we do have a 12 months of data from 20 2016 of nice data that we talked about we could plug in oh eight four one and we could get we could start the process of Getting that data so that we could contact people and if the essential piece of information that we're missing Which I for everything in the package This is certainly the conclusion I come to is the essential pieces were missing the type of saw involved in The the blade related injuries if we took that one year and we Contacted people and I'm sure and these great brains in this room We can come up with some creative really simple ways in which the we could be absolutely Certain of what kind of saw was used whether it's and we don't need a field investigator to go out and take a picture It's 2017 probably everyone in this room has texted a picture in the last week I mean we could have them text them to us I mean what there are so many creative ways That we could get a picture of the saw that's involved in the incidents for 2016 And I only say that because of this question Is somebody considering this as a way that we could more quickly get this absolutely essential data The statisticians have indeed considered that option. Okay, and are they considering it or have they considered and rejected it? We have considered it and based on sample sizes Selection bias that it's requiring somebody to take the picture and send it in and other aspects We strongly recommend that We cannot statistically Defend that approach so if we were able to come up with contact information for every blade related saw injury for the year of 2016 and we contacted those people and we had what I think I think you told me there were a thousand in the 18 months And we got 275 of those to respond to us and if we had roughly the same sample size It may be it's 12 months instead of 18 months But if we got two or three hundred of those people to respond and say that they and I'm not saying text-to-picture is the only answer It just is a one creative approach of if we could get a picture of the saw Involved in each of those injuries. That's not information. You think we could rely on I Can't answer that question. I don't have the information Historically from us ever doing that and There is bias induced in The way a particular Survey is administered and what is the bias that you think would be introduced by us contacting people and Asking and I'm as I say I'm not saying that's the only means But asking people if we could get a picture of the saw that was involved in their injury What's the bias that's introduced? We cannot quantify that bias It's a self-selecting bias that the individuals don't have the means to do that plus it's also Involved in can we even do that in our paperwork reduction act? It's a different type of Response that we're soliciting What if we sent our field engineers to the house and took a picture and do it the old-fashioned way and Mail it back by mail of the saw is involved in the 2016 I think that's that's a different approach, but the thing is that would just give you 16 and 17 as to saw type and just 17 with the particular Specific I wasn't suggesting including 17 and I wasn't suggesting stopping your work on the 17 survey I'm talking about 2016 getting the saw type matched up with the type of injury so that we could do a cost-benefit and as we discussed on Tuesday that is Basically going to be available One to two months before the 17 is complete so to get pictures of the saw is involved in the 2016 Incidents you're telling me would take as much time as it's going to take us to do all of these thorough in-person surveys for the next year and and Use the information to do the analysis. I'm telling you that there are other issues that Need to be addressed in order to implement what you're suggesting and that will take time I'm out of time. I do have further questions Thank You Commissioner K No question. I'll go back Commissioner Horovic questions I Do yeah, just a few I? Have one or two additional questions and Commissioner Robinson does and we'll see if anyone else does and then we'll Wrap up, so if you'll bear with us I wanted to go back to something that Commissioner Adler raised with Dr. Rogers and that is Generally when we promulgate a ruler in the case of lawnmowers and some others the price goes down But I'd like your comment. This is a unique situation. We don't have the market at work here We only have one technology available and so We're not sure The situation my understanding is I thought was it was alluded to in our briefing That there may be some agreement that he will license the technology and that you know He would only get an 8% royalty But if one person is controlling the market wouldn't that affect the cost of Products and whether or not how quickly they would come down Whether they would come down at all. I'm talking about the price of the product Yeah, well, I mean in our analysis we assumed a royalty of about 8% because that's what dr. Gas has said has said he would want To license his technology and of course That's what he says and we don't know exactly what will happen at that point because there's no legal He's not bound to that but if Royal T. Fee of 8% were Required In the analysis we indicated that we thought for example that the that would add about I think 37 to $57 to the price of a bent saw and that's based on based on the 8% of Royal T would be based on the Wholesale value of a saw and so what we did was we calculated Basically the average current average price of the saw What the additional cost would be to use the aim technology? and then we figured out what the wholesale price would be from that number and That's what turned out to be about thirty seven dollars to fifty seven dollars Prevent saw and it was higher for the more expensive saws But yeah, that would that would factor into the prices that people have to pay and and if you Yesterday dr. Gas talked about his four hundred dollar saw. I mean actually I'm not sure. Should I be mentioning this? Never I Have went down a bad path out of the barns But but even for the lower lower Priced saws once they have to pay the royalty then that will be that will be a factor that'll be That they'll have to take into account when they price their product It's a peculiar situation We find ourselves in because we have a situation where we don't have an agreement or anything in writing from dr Gas as to whether or not he would license his product We don't and his technology we whether or not it would be eight percent We've got a situation where ITC has said to Bosch. You cannot use the technology. That's a patent infringement We have no clue as to how many patents are out there by whomever in Specifically by with dr. Gas how that would affect the market. So there just seems to be a lot of probability a lot of speculation When it comes to rulemaking I just say that concerns me greatly. That's all I have and I will ask Richard Adler I imagine now he has a question No, actually just a quick comment because I think the concern you raised is a very serious one I'll simply point out that when he filed his petition 14 years ago. He said he would charge an eight percent licensing fee Wholesale and he's never changed that and he has He has stayed with that number through the years and so even if he were to raise it a little bit from what dr Rogers was saying it wouldn't really necessarily drive the cost of table saws up that dramatically and I would also point out that The cost of a table saw and the price of a table saw isn't just dependent on the licensing fee you pay for a patent It's also dependent on your ability to make products cheaper and your ability to achieve economies of scale and those would kick in Irrespective of the patent and the last point I would make is patents don't last forever Even dr. Gases and so at some point his patents will expire So that was just a comment. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner Robinson. Thank you Another area that we have a problem in this package in my opinion is with respect to the information We have about how effective the voluntary standard is we know that you L9 87 became effective in 2010 And my understanding is that we believe the addition of the modular safe blade guard and riving knife Made table saws much safer at least according to the package. That's what was said Nor did issue a final rule in this case We really need to know how effective you L9 87 is and as I looked at the package What we're basing our comment or our opinion that it is not effective on Is our trend analysis the 53 anecdotal cases that came in through CPS RMS Although only 11 of those involved saws with modular blades and only one of those cases Do we know of that the blade guard was in place when the injury was suffered and the 2015 Eureka fact survey? That basically says that sometimes people remove their guards is if I sort of summarize the basis for our opinion on the voluntary standard Well We've we've also you know, we what we said was that there were 38 30,800 emergency department treated blade contact injuries in 2015 and that Approximately a third of the market in 2015 Would have been meeting the the new standard, right? But we don't know how many of those were involved in the injuries that were incurred right, right Just to add to what I was trying to convey in the package was that in the a and pr We did have analysis of the Montreal blade guard and our Our conclusion was it was an improvement over a current technology, but it had the same weaknesses and so our What we predicted came true that Even with the Montreal blade guard there are still incidents occurring and the same weaknesses in terms of removing the blade guard and needing to to make For proper use of the table saw to make known through cuts Okay, the package notes that a more complete trend analysis would include analysis of injuries by population of table saw users Number of table saws in use or the number of hours table saws are in use in a non occupational setting Obviously, we only include we only had access to the estimated number of table saws in use each year Would there be any plan to get any additional information that you say would be a more complete trend analysis before a final rule? Can I just Respond a little bit sure to get that kind of information. I think we'd have to do an exposure survey I think we talked about an exposure survey for this project a year or two ago, although I could be wrong But that's the kind of place that we get information on You know if we did an exposure survey, we could find out how how frequently people actually use these devices You know when they take them off That sort of information that that would really be useful in an overall analysis But I don't think we're gonna have any of that sort of information Without an exposure survey is when I looked at the trend analysis I mean given the life of saws and I you know I only have my own anecdotal that my I had a chainsaw for 25 years and I'd still have it if I hadn't sold the place where I used it But but people just came to see seem to keep these saws forever And I know that we have an analysis of what the life is But when we look at the life of saws and the fact that we're basically looking at the five years after The voluntary standard went into effect and our CPS RMS data says that 38 of the 53 cases Involved had the old guards I'm just wondering first of all is there is there any plan for Enhancing our data on the effectiveness of the voluntary standard and if not Do you think that we have enough data to determine whether the current voluntary standard? Is effective in reducing the risk of injury and do you have any ideas on what additional information? We might need to make this a more a solid Basis for saying that the voluntary standard doesn't work That would be the additional information from the 2017 study, but again to emphasize that the CPR at those 11 or anecdotal, but it's it speaks to the fact that It's the same usage pattern and everything that we predicted in terms of the weaknesses of relying on any type of guard Is there because as I understand it basically people take them off. That's Correct, and you can also still get cut You know with the guard on All right, and you can also have blade contact injury with it with the right, but we've only got one reported on that I'm just thinking about making sure our data saw as solid as we can make it Okay, that's it. Thank you. Mr. K Mr. Robert There are no more questions and because there are no more questions. I will now adjourn this meeting I want to be just thanks staff again all of you for being here and those online For taking the time and being as patient as you were answering all of our questions Thank you all very much this meeting of consumer product safety commission is now adjourned

The entire part of the thread in the back is made from the Africa. आँपिखा माड़ीप पर यहापे सूडान बसा हुएः और यहापे एजिप्ट बसा हूएः एजिप्ट कोई मिस्र कैटें मिस्र काई एक रहां सागर में तरबुच की तरा एजे निकला हुएः तरय्गत्ट्टान। लीकद्टान। नहुटत्टान। लीकद्टान। यहुटटान। शूँ रालसैदर। प्रीदिःो जाए पूर bring me चूँ पर शूँ फुत्टान। प McCain यहूट्ट्टान। आप भॉत्टान। देखेंगे तो आप्को इक फ्रैज इप ही किस 수가 deapa haitha deata haitha वैस्टो � greenですiller of caf. ये कहै सुएच की हẩWH time, wh time. तो आनक एक और family jo는데. वास्तों figure for everybody is smaller, मurers are smaller. गे बारो। गे जेथ brokers are running उ коड़ vin regist of movies उगर्ँच्टर।�ric घब वूर्ठ में उतर लाल सागर लाल सागर ते उतर में सीनाई प्रदिप अद्� Now, red sea is facing towards the red sea. उतर में सीनाई प्रदिप, अत जली छिटर बूमदे सागर कंतकत पर तया। If you see a big map of acia concoction, तो आपको साप्साप यहापके बूमदे सागर दिका़ा। Now, red sea is facing towards the red sea. लाल चागर लال सागर उत्टर में सी नहीं प्रदिप और उत्टर में आगर अब दैखें यह पूरा कर पूरा लाल सागर यह जली च stamha rn-laal-sagar-bhoom-adsore-bhoom-adsore-bhoom-adsore-bhoom-adsore- bound शॉब at शॉईईईईई वादम ही चार हू Jord और सिए बफantis वादम towards वादम at लाडौड़ि सागर वग्ढ़ी जोबि of culpa तो बहुम दे सागर क्या अप उप़ तो बहुम दे सागर सोगर सीजे बहुद तो प्र सिजे कता है वेउपना आरती तो जाढ़ मिठाता यग अप रफी छुलसराडि शादर थांगे था।। जाधे लालसागर से जाते दी, वःसू� Commedicillus poopas इस नहर को बिनिटा अब भा्दए है, चिस्वेज� into Also V welsh � podcast आप बताओ़ोम from the Netflix शाँ थे बिठ� उच्छोaba base जो भी लेजो ग़ेशो की जाजो लाल सागर से हुड्ते हुटे बोमदे सागर मेजाती हैं, ईसर उन पर तैक्स लगाता है. असी से सबस़े आह्ता है मिसर याए का सबस़े लेजो जाजो पर लागा लागा लागा है. कूरPORTO himel video बबनुकंः काई करा केी कहा�彼ा है। अत canoe नाворदegan बबनॉखन। धपत्र्गण Resources बंध्रते �bike बहफात्रते दपहाल हगा जाब। तो पनते परते परते पररेनेயा न deberता। सुईज भندरगा हो लाल सागर की की தथपा हो उईज उट Dangerars the thought of. लाल सागर की तथप होक। Yeah why is there have a few monkeys on the streets of Los Angeles. सुझitis, कुच्छे प्रमुंक न adversary해주र। लाल सागर की तथप मु resultado हो कुच्छे बरुंचितंगरbag embassy. आ से तिस भी कि जیک॥ लाल सगर कि तरट्पर पला स़र कुंसे है? पोट सुएज पोट सुएज किस देस में? मिस्रभे तुस्रा परमुख स़र कुंसे है? सुदान में पोट सुदान यहां पे दिखाएगे रहा है आपको जबनी, सुदान का भी एक बंदर का जिसके तथब है अर तीस रहे, आदन न्हीं, जिददा जिददा का पहै? सुदी रभ यहाप पहे जिददा अए दिखाएगेरागे अजिद्दा? जिद्दा के प�रम मखका लिए दिखाए देरा है और मकका अप्र में ब्अत्तिँ परण्तिकार को बढ़ब या परण्तिः करो ज्डद़ा कोरेई बढब आपका मग्गा मग्का बगल बगल प्रमुग्य आर पोर्त्ते रवार तुलाल सागर तर्पे तीन प्रमुख बंदर्गा और सहर दिखाई देर हैं पोट सुवेच पोट सुदान और जिद्द्दा लिर अब अगला तोपिक हैं अदन की खाडी अदन की खाडी भाब आल्मन्टेप अब आल्मन्टेप जल्सन्दि अदन की खाडी अगला तोपिक आगला आगला अब बाब रागत मी麼 क्यों थिनाहिसे खाड़्र्स्ती क्ष्ट्ध्री , इद्नाही और खाड़्स क्ष्ट्ध्री वाड़्स क्ष्ट्ध्री , दूनीहम सब से याधर तिल संपन तच्ट्रे अगर स्ध्ट्र्प्ट्र तिल आ से देखाजा है तो तो ते� manager of any of its buses , it has all oil contained तु खॉआ़, तॉश्प्रुँः। उन खस्यास्ब बार्ख़ो, और जो बस्विऱुईषक़-परय!! अखंदार, अगंद्दे�und aquaticंग느� का देपास्ग़िख म्नेっていう आद्दम तॢबन्धार वीख� अमान यहां से start होता है, यह है अमान. तो अमान पारसी खाडी के तट्पर नहीं है, यहां से जोड़ेवे सवाल कुछे जाते है, चोटे-चोटे, जो कि आपने द्यान दियोंगे अचाना सुभ्ठा लिए जाएगा. तो पारसी खाडी के तट्पर बध्श्वी जु दिस है, वह सवित अरभ आमीराथ, उसके पस्सी में कतर, और उसके पस्सी में बहरीन आपको दिखाई दरा, यह है कतर, और यह है बहरीन. उसके पस्सी में यह पूरा क्या है. उसके पस्सी में यह पूरा क्या है. पिंक कलर का सुभ्टी अरभ, उसके पस्सी में कुवैद कुवैद के उतर में, इराख और इराख के पूरा में आपे इरान है. यह नहीं फारस के खाडी के तट्पर, समवो तो साथ दिस बस्सी में. पहला U, A, E, तुस्रा कतर, तीसरा बहरीन, चोथा सुभ्टी अरभ, पाचवा कुवैद, चत्वा इराख, और साथमा इरान. यह साथ देस बसे में. फारसी खाडी के तट्पर जोभी देस है, इन में से एक मात्र देस दूईपी इस्थिट्टी मैं. वो है बहरीन. बहरीन मुक के बूमे में नहीं है. बाखी सभी जो देस है, वो यह सभी अरभ देस के रहाते है. यह सभी अरज देस मुक के बूमे मैं है. बहरीन मुक के बूमे मैं नहीं है. बलकी यह आरब पारसी खाडी में इस्थिट एक दूईपी एदेस है. इस सभी देसों की राजदन्या अब बता सकते है. यौएई कतर बहरीन, सेथर वमीरात, कुवैत, इराक और इरान एक राजदन्या बता एगे. तो आदेगा कुवैत हो, चाही यौटर बमीरात हो, यमन हो, उमान हो, एरान हो, यह सभी यहां की कुवाँ में पानी निई पायजाता है. यहां कही भि कुमा कुवा खुडेंगे यहां पायजाता है. यह तेल बेष थे है एं और पानी कहरी देते हैं. थो एे पुरई चेटर मदिपूर खiestar madhipur kaya letah hai. मदिपूर मतलप कही कonzept hai, मदिपूर एक तो यस्लामी भहल जनसंख्या कछत्र है?

All right. Hello, everyone. Welcome to second and last week of class. Everyone excited? Semester's almost done. Yay. There's a lot. It doesn't get picked up on the microphone, but they're just going wild here. Cool, okay. I'll be here Monday, Wednesday. Unfortunately, I'm out of town next week, so Connor's gonna teach class and clean up then on binary security. I think we'll be done with content probably by next Monday, but we'll see what happens. We'll extend stuff into Wednesday. As mentioned, because I guess some people don't watch things, although I guess if you didn't watch it on Wednesday, why would I expect you to watch it today on Monday, but release two modules as we all agreed on collaboratively on Wednesday. The final two modules, web security and binary exploitation. One important note, since that got brought up, if you, I might not log in. Let's go course. Okay, you're gonna see my grade. I'm failing this course, by the way, in case you were wondering. Undergrades. So you have the weight here. This weight, because it's all the same, means nothing. This is just a relative weight between the modules. So the fact that they're all eight doesn't mean anything. They could be all one, which I'll probably just change them to, although that will still be confusing to people. It could be all nines. It could be all 1000s. It really doesn't matter to literally just, that way, if when running this course, if I had wanted to say, oh, talking web is worth twice as much as the other modules, that'd be a two, and the other ones would be worth one. Something like that, right? But for our purposes here, it literally doesn't matter at all. So as stated, your grade is here. I will, this week before Wednesday, post your current status of extra credit in terms of means and thanks. I'll also pull down the latest code breaker challenges that were on the syllabus two and put them on here. That way, like as stated on Wednesday, these have the latest possible deadline of January 10th. Like grades are due the next day. So that's why everything gets cut off at midnight of the 10th. This means absolutely whatever I put in the Discord. So before I start talking about stuff that's on there, let me make sure I'm not saying the same content. But it means very simply that absolutely no extension. So like it's just fundamentally impossible. Any extensions there go into over and we need to deal with like medical incompletes and other kinds of things. So if you've been thinking about that, don't think about that. Like if you end up in that situation, I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. During finals week, no in-person help. So finals week is in three weeks, right? So second week of class, last week of class and then finals week. So finals week, no office hours, no recitations. And I kind of can't force anyone to be here because they also have finals to take and everything. So you're kind of on your own on the Discord and you're feel free to help each other, but don't overboard as normal. I don't know, just this way with this, whatever grade you're happy with here that shows up here, that's going to be your grade unless, and it can only go higher with extra credit. So as soon as you feel like you're done, then you can just be done. It's kind of like having a button. You just say like I'm done and then you can't ever get a better grade. That way you can lock in and not feel like you have to do this until the 10th. Any questions on this? End of semester class stuff. Sorry, I just realized I was not on the 15 people on Twitch. Okay, no hands? All right, now let's get to learning. Cool, so we left off on command injection. So command injection, as we hopefully recall, is when a, most of the things we're talking about here are web applications, but when an application takes our input, concatenates it with other strings and then passes it to something like system, which then gets reparsed by BNSH just as if we had typed this in on the command line. So we saw different types of ways to exploit this. I'm not going to go over these because we went over them on Wednesday and you can watch that lecture. I think the key thing is I've seen some people maybe struggle in the Discord. The key issue here is to think you have full and total power here, right? So this, whatever you're typing in here, once you can execute a command, it is if you were, in our case, the root user and you're tricking the root user to type in whatever the heck you want. So even if, like in this case we saw, maybe running a certain command, maybe didn't show the whole flag where we weren't able to actually extract the flag that way, but we're still root. We can do whatever we want. What are some things maybe that we would want to do at a high level without talking about specific commands to accomplish our goal? What is our goal? Let's go one level up. What is our goal? On the challenges. What's always your goal? You've been doing this for eight, seven modules. This has been a key chunk of your life. Yeah. Get the flag. Yeah. So if you can't just output it directly by doing like cat flag because the program doesn't necessarily give you that output, what other things could you do? You could run LS, but you need to get the output. So the question is how do you get the output? So if you can't, if you can run commands without getting the output, how could you get the flag? You had a whole module on this about accessing stuff with control. Yeah. Move it to a different file. Like there's nothing that says that it has to be in that file, so you can move it or copy it or alter the permissions. You can alter the permissions of the destination file. You could fundamentally do anything you wanted to do as that root user. So you could do all kinds of fun stuff. But yeah, so think creatively. Like as if you were as root there, you can't get the output of the command but you want to get that file eventually. Okay. Moving to HTML, yes, question. You are running as root. Set UIDs only so that it's copied with run as root. Right, so the fact is you are fundamentally running as root when you can trick the challenge binary, the challenge web server is running as root so it can do anything. Wow, super weird that nobody is sitting over there. Did you all do that on purpose? Nobody wanted to sit on that third of the room. Just all gravitated over here weirdly. Okay. But they're coming to the door. But some people come in that way. I am over it. I mean, obviously it makes sense, but it's very weird because most people have sat over there. Anyways, okay, this is what happens when it's close to Thanksgiving. Okay, so other. Huh? No, this has been a whole room. You guys have been normally equally-ish spread out in the terms of this room. Nobody has to sit over there. Don't move. Cause all your stuff's there. That's a false move. But look, you have a better view of this right now. Anyways. All right, I noticed these things. Okay, so other things. So we talked about HTML, right? HTML is a web application's way of specifying to the user what the structure of the document should look like, what links they can click on, what forms they can fill out, what things they can do to the web application. And so very often a web application will create its HTML response by again concatenating strings together. So here is an example application that has in between P tags, has a string hello comma and then some name in red being the user's input. So why might this functionality exist? You're writing an application. Have you ever seen a website do this? I can start calling on people. Does that help? Start at the left side of the room and go, what's up? Yeah, so the idea being now it's a Dynamics website that nicely greets the user, right? So depending on who the user is, how they're logged in, right? We can see, oh, it's this user. Great, that can be a friendly application. I can say hello to that specific person. Maybe like, so maybe the results that I give are also unique to that user. So the feed that I'm showing, whatever, if it's like a Facebook newsfeed thing or whatever, but the point is like, I can customize my HTML response to each of you depending on who you are. Now, the problem is if that input comes directly from the user, now fundamentally I can control and have any code that I want be executed. And one of the key things, so again, if we go back to, let me look at this here. Yeah, so we look back at HTML, right? So now if I can inject content and control the structure of this HTML page, I can get it to be whatever I want. Now, does it seem that exciting? Maybe I can add more links to the page or something. I don't know, give them to trick them to click on something. But a key thing that we can make them do is, do I not have? One of the key things that we can do is actually get them to execute some code that will run inside of their browser, which actually sounds insane. And it's because it is every time your browser accesses a webpage, almost every single page, we'll send you some code that your browser running on your machine interprets and executes whatever code that website sends. And that is JavaScript. So let's look at, I guess we can look at here. There is some JavaScript in here, yes? Where I start poking around. Remember how this works. Sources, I think. Scripts, yeah, there we go. Cool, so there's a ton of JavaScript. This is all JavaScript that's executed. Every time you visit any site on Pone College, similar JavaScript exists everywhere else. But the point is, this is code that is running inside of your browser and has access to everything inside of this webpage. So, oops, hello. Okay, let me show an example. Going to increase the font size here. Let's go back to our example. Okay, so this isn't really a dynamic website. This is literally just gonna be me editing a text file and then us loading that text file in our browser. Let's see if I can, cool. Everyone see, on the right, I have this. So if we pass in the name of CSE365, refresh. Right, so just like a dynamic website, so my browser is parsing this. And again, because it's a parser, it has to figure out where are those starting and ending tags so we can do cool things like we can change our name and make it into a link that the user can click. Can I change what happens before here? No, I can't because this is a constant string that is concatenated. So I can't control what happens before and I can't control what happens afterwards, right? So every time we're thinking about injection, we need to be thinking about what parts do I control and what parts don't I control. So here I'm controlling just this name in here. I could really mess things up. I could do maybe ending HTML and then the page looks literally like this. Oh, where's the inspect source, so big source. Yeah, so now it's kind of like, depends on how the parser is going to interpret this, will it like, do this is the end of the page, will it keep showing the stuff that's after? Let's check if I write something after here. I actually do see that, that's really weird. I'm not sure if this is common for all browser engines. I can start another, yeah, HTML tag and then what if I end this one. Anyways, the point is I can completely control everything that happens here. But one of the big things I would wanna do is start executing JavaScript. So JavaScript was, I'm gonna go back and we're gonna go back in time, okay. Since I know we got a little bit of time, we can do this. So this was the modern HTML that we've been looking at. Very static, has images, tables, you can set font size, but fundamentally the content was static. And this actually gave rise to early websites like Yahoo. Did you guys know Yahoo was literally just like a yellow pages or a directory for the internet? So there were different categories. If you're just an art or education or entertainment, you can click in there and there would be links to other places on the web. So it was just a way literally to find things in this incredibly, this is actually even before, there's a time before where it didn't even have search. There was no ability to search here. This was the first Amazon website. And you can see very simple, just literally a website to sell books. Alta Vista was one of the first search engines that actually allowed you to like type in stuff in the search bar and it would just very crappily look for any webpage that had that search term in it. And this was the, actually the shocking thing about all this is this was the first Google beta from 1998. And you can see that it's almost exactly the same. It's actually even simpler of a, more or less of a design the Google homepage than it was here. But the important problem is we wanna be able to do fancy things and animations and being able to dynamically respond on the client because every time you clicked a link on any of these pages or hit the search bar, your browser would then have to make a new HTTP request to the server. The server would process it, send the response back in HTML in your browser that has parsed that HTML. But for some times you don't need all of that. And that became the birth of JavaScript. So I'm gonna tell you a little bit about the history here. It was originally designed as a language to run inside your browser to interact and manipulate with HTML. How many of you know Java? Yeah, many of you. Great, JavaScript has nothing in common with Java except for the first four letters. And this was actually a literal, so it was originally created in 1995 for Netscape, one of the browsers at the time called LiveScript. You're gonna be like, hey, you gotta script things live in your browser. It was renamed in December of 1995, literally JavaScript as an open cross-platform object scripting language for the creation and customization of applications on enterprise networks and the internet. This is in 1995. Whereas JavaScript in Wikipedia is a prototype-based scripting languages with dynamic typing and first-class functions. So this actually has nothing to do with Java. It's literally a different, like the syntax is very similar because they both derive syntax from C, but fundamentally prototype-based is very much in opposition to class and object orientation. So calling it an object scripting language is like super weird. Literally, it was basically like a marketing ploy because believe it or not, I know this may be very hard to believe at the time, but in like 1995, Java was considered the hot new language. Like, I don't know, what's a hot new language that you all think is cool for us? Like, yeah, Rust. So this was like the Rust. Actually, it's a very good app description because with Java, they told everyone like, hey, this is great. You don't have to worry about buffer overflows, just like Rust. And you write once and deploy everywhere because you write it, it compiles to the JVM and different JVM implementations run on different machines. What it turned out was write once, debug everywhere was actually the real thing that happened. And so anyways, hope in 20 years, maybe you'll remember this class and as soon as people, you tell people that you used to think Rust was cool and they go, that's such an old language. Why would you ever think that? But anyways, in 1996, Microsoft added support for JavaScript to Internet Explorer and it turned into a standardization. So the JavaScript language was standardized in 1996, but fundamentally it was just created for one browser to add some dynamic capabilities. And now it is essentially the language of the web. So JavaScript is fundamentally the way that you think about and is supported by all browsers and it evolved organically along the way, which is why it's very, very weird. But let me show you some examples. So you use the script element and the script tags is the way of creating JavaScript. So you have script tags. This was a very, very old style of doing this where you had these tags here is a HTML comment. So it tells the browser, hey, consider anything in here to be a comment. And this was for browsers that didn't support JavaScript. That way they wouldn't show what was in the script tags. So if you're a browser and you did support it, you would know not to take off those HTML comments and you would start executing the code there. So you can do things like, there's a whole system and stuff, but it's very similar to what you're doing. It's not anything that's too crazy. So you can prompt things like, hey, please enter your name. You can set that to a variable called name. You can check if name is null, then write welcome to my site. Otherwise write welcome to my site. And then the plus is concatenation here. And so you can do this. You can also specify exactly the language here, although this is really not needed now. So you could run this page and it would say, hey, please enter your name below. You could enter something like add them in and then it would say, hey, welcome to my site, Adam. Okay. You can also include external JavaScript files. This is actually not strictly needed for what we're doing, but something that's very useful is you can have a source attribute that have an absolute or relative URL. And so the browser, when it parses this, will make another HTTP request, fetch that content and execute it as if it was JavaScript code. I'm gonna skip all this. We don't need to do this. Okay. JavaScript, though, is... Okay. So everything in JavaScript is an object. And guess what? You learned JSON way back when when you were making web requests by hand in Netcat, those fun, fun days. So JSON, everything in curly braces in JSON derives from the syntax for JavaScript for objects. Objects are pretty sweet. They're just like hash tables or arrays. You can add properties and values at runtime. So you can have something like var object equals. And so the curly braces is... So this is an object that has one property named test with the value foo as a string and another property num with the value of 50. We can then, so objects, you can think of things that can be recursive. So you can have object and this is accessing a property. So this is with array syntax saying the object, the property with name foo set it to be equal to object and we can log itself so we can do object test is what? Here in this example, foo. And then object foo is the object itself because we set it here, object foo. You can set num to be 1000, we can log it and then we can look at it here in the console. One of the cool things is you can just... If you're ever curious about how something works in JavaScript, you can open up your good old web browser here in the console, you can just put code here and you can just type it in. Can I make this? Oh yeah, there we go. So I can type all this in here so I can look and inspect this object. So this is my object called object that has three properties foo, num and test. Foo is the object itself. So if you keep going down foo, it will go down here forever. One thing, so I use this syntax, object bracket string foo. This is one way you can access properties. The other way is the dot syntax. So you can just say object dot foo and it's exactly the same thing. It's literally just the same syntax. The dot foo is just the same syntactic sugar for the exact same thing. Okay. Okay, I think that's all we need to do under here. There's much more complicated stuff. So what we can do is now we are here. So once we have this injection, we can write any JavaScript code we want inside of ScriptTags. One of the classic things, if you look up the alert function, so instructs the browser to display a dialogue with an optional message. This is one of the ways that as security analysts, we show that we can execute JavaScript code on your web page by making it pop up a window here. So this is JavaScript code. So this is when I refresh that, the very first thing it does. It's parsing this and the developer, the original developer of this website intended, did they intend for there to be JavaScript code here? No, this is only because we, the attacker tricked the web application to include this JavaScript code. And so we can do whatever we want here. We can, I think that's how you do it, let's see. Nope, that's writing it there. I always have to look at stuff up. JavaScript, overwrite, HTML, dot replace, document dot replace, document open, document write, document close, that's where it's in. In our HTML, there we go, that's how it works. So completely changing the content of the page. We can do, let's see, you redirect to the document dot, may have blocked it because of the domains, oh, location address, that's right. So redirecting them to another place, on Wednesday I can do whatever I want. I can, if the web application uses cookies, which this one probably will not, it won't even let me go back, that's really, yeah, undefined because I don't have any cookies. Let's insert some cookies. Storage, local storage, add new, password, I don't know, JavaScript. Depends on how it's set the cookies, but let me just double check. Cookie, not cookies, see, this is why reading the documentation is so important. This is why I tell you what to do, and that did nothing. Go to the console here, document dot cookies, cookie, cookies. Cool, so if cookies were set, I could get them. I guess it should be like this. Yeah, it could be about the specific way that I'd set them. If you could get them or not, there are like lots of possible security measures here, but fundamentally I can do anything. And this means that if I was now, and especially if you're logged into this website, I can now act as you as the user. So I could steal your cookies to try to log in as you. I could have you the user transfer me, remember when we looked at the bank, transferring money, right, between things, introduction. Oh yeah, here we go. Here's our good friend, the bank, right? So if I were able to trick blue into executing code from green from the bank that says, hey, transfer money $1,000 from red, the bank has no idea that this is coming from, not coming from the actual user. So you can really do anything. Questions here? Just for the record, when you go out into the world, this is called cross-site scripting. The idea being another, and a criminal or a hacker got you, tricked your browser into executing JavaScript that they wanted to execute. So that's the cross-site. So, and the abbreviation for this is XSS. So if you see that, that's what that means. Now, again, another case where people want to concatenate strings is with when creating SQL queries. So here we have a SQL query, select star from users where username equals single quote, con or single quote, and password equals single quote, password one, two, three single quotes. This is the example where we're looking at SQL. So what's the point of this query? What would be a use case of this query? Yeah, why would we want to look for the specific user's information? Say it again. Slider? Yeah, so we're trying to check, so this would be an application where they're trying to check, did the user provide the correct username and password, right? So like, yeah, they're gonna log in. We're gonna check first, hey, does there exist any user in this database that has the username, con or in the password of password one, two, three? If it does presumably, then we would log the user in. That's exactly what this query would do. Now, fundamentally, if we control what's in the string conner and here in this password, we can fundamentally put in whatever we want here. So do you guys wanna try it on a real database? Where is the real database? This is where you're just hoping that somewhere back in your history, somebody did this once. Where do I have a web server running? Is the mic easily accessible? Ah, such a pain, I don't like SQLite. Okay, I think I have an idea. Let's see, I usually, I can quickly install something on here. Can't locate the package, MySQL. I think it's MySQL server. Okay, we'll just on MySQL server on a random thing. We'll create the table. This will be super fun. And then we will hack it. It's running, very good progress. I'm into MySQL server. All right, I'm running. So now what I'm typing commands in here is I say if we're running queries, so I could say selects, it's gonna say error, no database, flexed. So use, create a database first. Use 365, MySQL, I did, okay. Oh, I guess I can do that. Create database, hack me, use hack me. Create, what is it? Table, users, MySQL, data type. Varchars are great. Just means variable characters. Okay, it should just work without the strings. Yay, okay, insert into users, values, admin, super secret. Wanna make sure, insert into users, values, value one, value two. How do I do multiple values? I think it's just separated by commas like this. Okay, and let's go back to our thing. Admin, password, a Connor. Password one, two, three, select. Hey, got data in there? Cool, okay. Now let's go back to our query. So we're gonna simulate having a website. We are writing this statement. Okay, select, so it's gonna be select star from users where username is equal to name and password equals password. Okay, so let's run this. Why did that return nothing? And we don't have anything in the database that matches that. Okay, we did have the example of, there's space in front of here. Why is this not saving this query? It's gonna drive me insane. Connor, so now if we know Connor's password, we can log in and that returns one user. So our web application would say great, user accepted, log in, awesome. So you can write in anything where into this string. Where do you, what do you control? The username and password specifically after the single quotes. So why is the, so the application is specifically adding single quotes around your input because it knows that this is how you specify a string in MySQL. So specifically here and here we control. Inside of those strings, awesome. So select star from users, we're username is equal to Connor. So we can put in, if there's no restrictions from the web application, we can put in whatever we want here. So what might we want to put in? Another single quote, what's the point of that single quote? So it matches the first single quote and now, now what do you wanna type in? Yeah, so or maybe, so we say username is equal to blank. One equals one. What do you wanna put in for password? Let's just do password. Okay, what's gonna happen when I hit enter? Yeah, it's not gonna let me. And I wish it didn't do this. Oh, I have an idea. Let's do, this was a great example. Let's do this, quit. So you go to MySQL, you just write the command here. It's first the database name, hack me, hash c. Did you echo what it said or did? Yeah, that's right, okay, thank you. Cool, cause I wanted to simulate more of what happened and as you saw, when we tried to enter that command, the MySQL prompt wouldn't even let you type that prompt in because it has a syntax error. What's the problem? We put in single quote space or space one equals one and then the application put a single quote, password equals two and then this single quote, but then there's a password and then like a dangling single quote. So we're very close here, but the problem is we're not matching those things. And the problem is there's a bunch of gibberish that we have to deal with after this. So what was the trick we used in command injection in order to not have to deal with anything that came after us? What was that? Comment it out. Let's look up. I think we talked about it in the last one but then let's look up MySQL comment syntax from a dash character to the end of the line or from a, or sorry, a hash character to the end of the line or from a double dash to the end of the line. I'm gonna show you the double dash because the database you're gonna be using is SQL light and I wanna show you one that works on both. I believe it's double dash. Yeah, and so you can see this. Anybody remember this type of graph? Back when we looked at JSON syntax? So here in SQL light dash dash to anything except new line to new line will be a comment and that's the same in SQL light and in MySQL. So we do this. Really hope that was gonna work. Why did that not work? Oh, I think we need a space. Yes, there we go. Okay, why do we need the space? Because the characters were specifically a double dash without any space at the end. I guess MySQL is trying to interpret that as its own thing and doesn't really see the, let's actually look, this is crazy. Ah, insane. I wonder if this is what messed me up on a CTF once. It's interesting. Anyways. Okay, so what did this do? Why did this return us all the results in the database? Yeah, so this is the query that we ran. Select star from users where username is equal to blank or one equals one. How many times is one equals one true? It's always true. And true or false is true. So this returns true for every single row in the database that returned all of the rows. What if we just wanted to return the admin rather than doing or one equals one, what would we do? If I do this, what is it gonna do? Still gonna return all, why? Yeah, for all of them. So how do I fix it? Say it again? Cool. So now let's say we do this on the login form. We say, hey, we want to log in as the admin. Here's my password and password. But actually I say, we don't want to log in as admin. We want to log in as admin tick space dash dash space. And it goes, it says, oh, yep, there's one result. That's good. Let me log you in now as this user. And then boom, you've now logged in as the admin user. And we can even go, let's see. Make sure I'm balancing with time. Cool, oh yeah, perfect. Okay, we can even go crazier than here. So let's do, let's create table. I feel like I have that syntax. Nope, create table flag. Let's say there's flag. That's a varchar 255. Okay. Insert into flag values. Honk it, get this flag. Okay. So let's say we get this output. Well, let's say it's not the username and password, but whatever, we get this output, but we can control. So again, we can control anything in password. We kind of figured we don't need to do that because we can deal with anything that's in here. So we can just by changing this username. Now, can I control anything that happens before the username? Select start from users where? No, we cannot. But, so we can use this as we saw to get anybody's username. We can also, so let me, did we talk about that? Let's see if we'll get tables. So let's look up. So it turns out two things we need to look at. One, let's go back to just our normal, let's see. Ew, gross. That's too many tables. Table schema test, I haven't seen that. Nice SQL. This has a ton of information. Let's see, DB5. Okay, okay, here's, oh, am I not, wait, you use heckling? Okay, I feel like this should be a lot easier. Okay, there we go. Why does that reveal so much? I thought there was like, okay, well here is our hack me, and here's the users and flags. It's table orders for you. Yeah, there we go. Thank you. What do we put for table? Table orders for schema equals database table. Where's that? Let's check it with table. Oh, base table. But in dot, instead of dot column, you need dot table. Let's just do a select all on that. This is something you can look up by the way. It's not, well, where's the, why is this, this should be very simple. What are you trying to sort? I want you to see the tables, but just the user tables. Like, why is there all this, there's a bunch of junk tables. There's three out of 30 tables. I mean, you want me to get slightly simpler, it's table on a square name. Yeah, I would like this, but with only the user table. This is definitely, oh, they're right at the top, but I will find this. Okay, that was going to be a cool demo. Oh, that's what I want. Inject all the things. Payload, there we go. Payload all the things, that's what I want. Okay, this has everything I could ever need. Cheat sheet, MySQL injection. MySQL, oh good, it has all the comments, testing. Yes, okay, great, great. Extract database with information schema. Thank you, tables, that's annoying. Oh, schema, okay, great. Ah, okay, okay, okay. So these are all the different databases. Excellent, okay. And then, how it does this, I see. So I had to first figure out what the database name was. Okay, and I can just do the table name. Now I figured out how to pin it in here. Okay, perfect. Where were we? So we were back here, select star from users, we're username equals blot. Okay, this is where we were. Now let's say we have our tick. Now, everybody remember our friend, the union syntax? Which was used to union two select statements? Yeah, so, how many columns did our user stable have? Two columns? We may or may not know that, depending. If we don't, we can actually just keep guessing. We can do foo bar, so this select foo bar. Yeah, so if we did, and what's super interesting, you won't have to get into this, but oh, it does do that. So you can figure out how many columns are needed by just keeping adding one to the select statement until you get the correct, you get an output, a non-error, everything else errors. So what this does is says, hey, select star from users, we're username is equal to nothing, which we don't care about. Union that with select one, two, three. Well, select one, two, three is not very useful and select foo bar is also not useful. Why is this not useful? This foo bar, like we gave that input. So it's just proving that what we give comes back to us. But we gave that, so that's not interesting. But I don't know, even know where the data is that I want, but I know by looking it up in that payload all the things that I can select in my SQL and other database engines have very similar things, I could say select and that's gonna fail because that has the different wrong number of columns. So what I really want from here, where did I want from Schemata? I want the schema name, select schema name. Again, not gonna work because when I'm unioning has one column on the right side and two columns on the left, so I just need to add something. So this shows me that, hey, there's my SQL schema, information schema, performance schema, sys and hack me. Hack me sounds good. Let's figure out all the tables in hack me. So now I can use my other query. Now that I know that I can do, or was my query, there we go. So now I'm gonna union that query with select star from information scheme dot tables where table schema is equal to hack me. That will not work. So I want, I believe it's just called table name. So table name, I have flag and users. I'm already querying all the users table. So which data do I want? Like which table do I want of these two tables? Flag, we want the flag, let's get the flag. I actually, from here, I don't know what the columns are, but you can actually read if you really want to. You can read all the columns in that table so you can figure out of the flags table what are the columns there. But we can do that here. Now that I know what table to search for, select star from flags, wrong number of columns. So I actually now will need to do that. So let's select dot columns where table name. Select star from columns where table name is equal to flag. Okay, wrong number of columns. I will do column name. Aha, there's a flag. So it should just be select flag. From flag, that won't work because of the wrong number of columns, plus flag, column one. So now I've finally got the flag. So fundamentally from doing this, you can actually get, are the parentheses necessary around this select statement? No, they're not. It just helps me when I was doing that. That was a good question on Twitch. SQL syntax is almost a little too forgiving. So I like to, I'll just be very careful there, yeah. Yeah, so this just means, so, so what I'm saying is, hey, select from the table flags and for my results, I want the first column to be flag, whatever is in the database as flag. And the second column, I just want to be one, like the literal one. So that's what this does. This just makes, this just returns one for the password. I could make it return a string as foo. I can make it return whatever I want. I could put flag twice. But the important thing is because with the union, the select on the left, the users table has two columns that the result when you union them has to have two, otherwise it can't put them together, right? It's like, you know what I'm like building blocks, right? You have like, like Legos, get the size two and you had a one and try to put that on there. That's not gonna work. If you had a three, that's too big. It has to be exactly the same size so that your application gets all those same results. And the crazy thing is, do they, I can't remember, did they do this in the assignment? So what's crazy is you can, so we were able to read the flag here. Why? Because we can see the output here, right? In this table, we see these results. The application may or may not give us the results here. So one, so there, but you can do really cool things. You can actually, and there's a, I guess I don't have it installed. Do we have it installed on the Dojo? No. So we can do cool things like, okay, let me see how I'm gonna do this. Some users, you can select. There are, hey, there we go. So we can actually do things like select or let's say we can't get this so all we're getting output is foo foo. But we can say where left flag, let's see, string, length, let's say one. So what I can do is I can set up a SQL query such that if it returns something, it returns the results if the first character of the flag, so the left, this left function, I just looked up from the documentations, specifies the number of characters from the list of the string, both the number and the string are supplied as arguments of the function. So this would be the string and the length. So I can iterate over this and brute force all the characters from A to Z, big A to big Z, zero through nine. And what's the difference? How do I know if I'm correct? SQL must be case and sensitive. That was not what I meant. So this is the problem when you just copy and paste random stuff. SQL case sensitive comparison, my SQL. So I know it's not A, I know it's not B, but when I get to P, so why is that? So let's say the application will give me an error if there's nothing or give me a page, like a 500 versus a 200 error. So the only thing I can see, I can't see what it returns, but I can know if my query gave zero results or non-zero results. So that's what we're doing here is by checking and taking the flag, by creating a where clause such that, by creating a where clause such that I have a condition based on part of the flag and a value that I supply, I can then test and I can make 255 of these queries for each character. I can even, let's see, my SQL function. There's a way to like turn it, yeah, there we go. Ord, just like, ah, it is, ord. So just like in what you might call it in Python, we can call ord on this to turn it into an integer and then that will not work, but if we do man ascii, let's see, P is at 70 and capital P is gonna be 50 and these are hex. There we go, so now we've found a way to determine the case of this. So if our program in the first case gives us a 500 error, we can use that. So this is the crazy thing, it's with one bit of information, whether the query returns something or doesn't return something, we can completely, we can use this to brute force this and what's even crazier, so what's faster than a linear search through zero to 255 to see which one hits? Somebody's taking 310? So what's faster than a linear search? So rather than searching zero trying everything zero to 255, a binary search, so I can do something like, because I don't have to do equality, I can do less than or equal to, right? So I can say is this less than and I would do what's in the middle of 255 and 255 divided by two, let's say 127, which it definitely will be. So this is a yes, so I got a yes response because I got something back. So okay, so I can do zero now between 275, so I can do 127 divided by two, 63. Nope, it's not less than that. So I know it's somewhere between 63 and 127, 63. This is what I'm doing with my hands, it's kind of a pain, but this is why you have computers, 96, so it's not, so it's between 96 and 127, 112. Okay, it's not bad, Connor, you're a great board call, 120. Yes, so it's between 120 and 112, 116, yes, so between 116 and 112, 118, yes, 119, yes, also yes. I'm just gonna check equality at some point, right? Something is wrong. So it's not less than 112, but it is less than 120 and less than, I see. Yeah, so we should have gotten down after 18, right? So we should have done 114, we will find it, correct, yes. Not 112, so what does that mean it is? Yeah, or so, well, you know, we are not computers, we are not computers, it's okay if we're not doing the binary search properly, yes, there we go, okay. That's octal, so it's octal, decimal, and hex. So it's P, so we figured out the first character. We can do, yes, thank you. They're much rejoicing from the audience. Oh shoot, that took a long time. Okay, so we first have to then put everything together of why is this safe? So as we talked about with JavaScript, you have basically random code that you're downloading onto your machine, and the whole point is that your browser wants to ensure that different websites and different tabs, you can think of as tabs, can't really mess with each other. So when you're accessing something and you're including images there from, let's say, red and from blue, your browser will then go and fetch those, and it can, yes. So the way this works is it gets to the, what is the same origin policy? So the origin is this three tuple of scheme, host, and port. Scheme being HTTP or HTTPS, host being the domain name, and port being the port of the connection. So anything that where those triple is the same, it exists in the same origin. So for instance, HTTPexample.com has the, I hate, this is the dreaded Google slides to PowerPoint conversion, example.com, the root site has the origin HTTPexample.com and 80, which if you're fetching cat.gif from there, it's the same HTTPexample.com 80, whereas if it's from a different origin, even if it's the exact same host and port, that is the different origin. Different port is a different, and so you can send across origin request if there are, sorry, we're at the end of time, we're gonna have to, we spent too much time on SQL injection, but we'll do this on Wednesday.

Hello everybody, if it's Wednesday, it's Warhammer and that must mean it's time for another episode of Warhammer Weekly Joining me as always is my co-host Tom. What's up, Tom? How you doing tonight? Hello friends. Yeah, absolutely Okay, add a little bit of child drama, you know that happens. Sure. Sure. Yes. Yes. All good. So it wasn't this wasn't Directly your fault. It was more like your General orbit. All right. Like it's like the this was one of your satellites or one of your moons That was causing an issue and the is that orbit, right that the gravitational pull that just like just messes with everything in the system Yeah, and look, I I lived like I will be the first one to as Tom will tell you to come after him when his own BS Delays us or gets us late or screws around because Tom is never on time like many people I know Tom is like punctuality and Tom do not go together. This the situation was only made worse Yeah, when you had kids You were always terrible about this and then you had kids and it just got worse because people who are bad at time management We didn't have children. It just becomes a train wreck. Okay. It magnifies the problem It's like sending an alcoholic into the middle of a distillery. All right Um But at any rate in this case Tom is not to blame. It's not his fault. This is just having children I have nothing but grace for Tom because Tom is in the end and I will say this about him He is a great dad. And so there you go. I've and he's raising good kids. So that anyway Let's talk about some Warhammer that's what we're here We're gonna talk about the future of what we think dawn bringers are gonna be we're on the we sit here on the horizon The book two is just about to come. We'll be talking about book two in the dawn bringers thing next week But forget book two. That's already old news We got to talk about what's coming in book three and four and where it goes from there So we're gonna we're gonna do what we do best on this show, which is just Happily Yeah, haphazardly responsibly predict things. Yes, exactly. There you go. I mean that's what all the best YouTube shows do Anyways, correct. Correct. Exactly. We're just we're just just joining the all of this all the YouTube greats here Uh, so but first off, of course, we've got some news um news How about that rumor engine? How about it? It's a it's a weapon. It's a it's a sword. It's a it's a flat sword I think it might be I think it might be 40k Like normally i'm always the one to be like, no, this is a os, you know, I just I look at this And it just it reads as 40k to me and I don't know why I think you may be right I really the actual reason I think you may be right Is because We've had so many weeks where I'm pretty confident it is a os they got to throw 40k something So this is like the 40k week Uh, that's that's so I don't think you're wrong there But either way Super boring rumor engine. This is just like the most boring of rumor engines Because it's obvious what it is and it doesn't look like it's anything interesting. It's a weapon on a guide So Yep Yeah, okay Now it's interesting because remember the little antler ones we had the like the antlers with the moss hanging off or whatever. Yeah And we were like, maybe it's we were trying to figure out what it was that turned out to be truck The big the big giant troll speaking of things they've revealed from dawn bringers, right? Yeah So And that guy was pretty cool. I couldn't but I should I couldn't I couldn't guess that was on a giant troll head for like All you could give me all the guesses in the world. I wouldn't have come to that. So, okay Uh, man Zach said could be new jungle fighters. Yeah, exactly could be like something fun like that Like uh, the aren't the catechins like super old models in 40k right now. So they are there That's what it that's what it vibes to me when I when I looked at it was like It was kind of machete esque now that's that it's definitely not like it's a different style of blade But I can see something in that space. Yeah, you you put the esque on there. I understand I get you I get you I wasn't going to be pedantic on you Okay. Yeah, what else we got Tom? What's next? Uh, so Let's talk about the fire claims Let's talk about them Vulcan flame seekers Okay All right. Talk about it Tom go Uh, like it's everything we've ever wanted. It's like Male dwarves mostly clothes. We have female dwarves We have little baby magma dross. We have diverse weapon profiles And it has everything They have a fourth unit. That's not a hero folks. This is such a big deal It's true. Yeah Like I can't I can't stress this enough. This is unit number four in their book. That is non hero. Sure. Sure Uh, when I looked at this I was like man, this unit could be absolutely terrible, but I want it Sure. Yeah, like I just So let me talk about some things I actually like a lot here And I'm gonna praise fire slayers for a minute. So sit back Just just hold up First off, I want to talk about whoever this has nothing to do with the models themselves But I want to talk about whoever painted these Uh, whoever the studio painters was that attacked this warband did an absolutely fantastic job I love the actual like moving to the burnt Like, uh, more lava-ish pattern in the mohawks. That looks so much better than just the straight color like they had classically done The beards are like way more vibrant and alive the the colors on them Um, like the way they're heating the light in the right ways by sort of forcing it up top into this area of the Around the mouth right like this guy on the top left Love his skin tone. Love a lot of these guys skin tones. Actually, they just they they went for a lot of differentiation in the skin tones In really interesting ways. Yeah, you thought of more reds. Yeah, exactly, right? It looks really good a lot more ruddy tones Yeah, um, I love the female fire slayers. I thought like what a what a great addition Why haven't like as soon as I saw those two. I was like, why wasn't this in the earlier range? They look so good with the like steel breast plates on Those look cool as and actually add a lot more visual interest to the models for my for my money Um The I agree with you on the varied weapon designs. I actually like the look of a lot of these weapons They still feel like axes, but they feel very like different than a lot of the other axes the split Iconography down the the middle with a lot of these things looks really good And then finally, I think the real win here was putting the little Cloaks or whatever. I don't know what we want to call those. What do you call it when it's just around your waist? I don't I don't know, but they're you know, I'm talking about their skirts. Yeah, I guess I guess it's a skirt. I don't know Um, but yeah, putting their little skirts on Actually does a lot to break up and change the silhouette. You've got the leader guy who has the cloak the full cloak um But then the all the rest of them wearing the skirts or whatever that just looks really cool If they had put some shoes on I'd be all for this I don't think we can like call them full tartans Like I don't think we're I don't think we're that far in right, but it has that kind of vibe, right? Sure Uh, and so uh, yeah a couple people are saying kilts. Yes. I I don't know. Um But either way I see this as a big win the only the only really the only one I don't like is the one wearing the little headdress of like a Magradroth baby that's been hollowed out and he's wearing it around his head. I think that looks so completely stupid Uh, the guy in the top right basically this guy up here Like I cannot explain how dumb I think that looks Um And how offensive is that? Let me ask that, right? Yeah, like Okay, this is your dog, right? They have one of these running around with them. It's the same size This is your dog. So you kill your dog and then make a headdress out of it. That is messed up stuff right there And you make your dog look at it every day. Yeah, yeah Well, the old dog was gonna die. So I killed it and turned it into a hat Messed up dudes messed up. Um, so I think I just look silly and dumb and I don't like it at all Like not just because of the funny joke of what it is, but I just literally think it looks goofy Uh, the other ones all great. I love every other model in this warband and think they actually look really good They are like boots away from perfection. That's what I'll say Um on a couple of them. They did their feet like darker like sooty Yeah And that's actually an interesting method here for sort of faking the impression They're wearing boots And so I that might be an interesting take it kind of works, right? Like, oh, sure. They're running around barefoot on Volcanic ash all day. They're Yeah, their feet would just be all black and sooty, right? So yeah, that actually makes sense So that could kind of cut split the difference And a really interesting solution like this guy over here You can really see it really strongly the dude over here on the um on the right side down here So, uh Yeah, like great stuff all around. Um, still not good like I'm still in love with these guys I still don't want to paint them But man is this like leaps and bounds over what the previous generation of fire slayers were The helmets are better the mohawks are better the female dwarves are better the Skirts are are great. The weapons are improved. Like this is just such a marked improvement Uh, it's wild Yeah I love it so much Yeah, I don't know if we've seen an expansion to a range that added this much new quality versus the old skulls Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, I agree with that Um, I am I see this and I'm like, I don't know it's more fires Sure. I mean what it's like eight models and a dog Right, like you're probably gonna at least do a Reinforced, you know, like if you're gonna do it, you're probably gonna do, uh, you know 16 sure. Okay 16 models two dogs seems reasonable enough Yeah um Okay, Eric Dodie. No, I I I certainly hope not nor would I ever want to see that has anyone ever modeled them with crocs I god, I hope not Uh, we shouldn't be having real people wearing crocs and yet I just certainly don't want to bring them into the the miniature world Uh, no bright yellow crocs might look good out there Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm All right, cool Yeah, great stuff. Can't wait to see these dudes. They're they're great like By the standards of fire slayers by the standards of all models This is still like a six or seven out of ten for me by the standards of fire slayers all previous fire slayers This is like an 11 out of 10 It is it is if we're just judging based on fire slayers Okay, uh, what's next Um, let's talk about the uh, yeah, well and as an aside, let's get it give honorable mention to the black rims on all these Faces. Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah. Yeah nukes mentioned that. Yeah Or who mentioned that? Sorry. Neil mentioned that. I apologize. Yeah kudos gw. We see you we see weird We're finally on the right train. Keep it up. Okay Uh related, um, let's talk about that iron jaw speed. Yeah, uh-huh. Yep Okay. Oh vents. I gushed about Fire slayers. Do you want to you want to jump in on the iron gels? I mean not really is the honest answer um because What we got first of all, I'll say this let me talk about this Uh, the just put out the pdf with the rules Fantastic a plus. Good job way to go. That's what you should be doing all the time. This is great Remove the barrier of entry to people playing with their toys. Thank you a plus. Good job. Good guy gw like No, I have no issues putting out as a pdf as an a plus thing I want to encourage more of that. It is wonderful and thank you and great Okay, so I just want to be super that's like headline, right Now as to the units uh Like I'm going to talk about him next week when we do our full Dawn bringers part two reveal show So I'm not going to talk about just these rules when it's not all the rules because obviously the dawn bringer book will have other rules in it as well And so I'm not going to talk about like half of the rules this week with the iron jaws and versus everything else am I super excited for big pig and uh, the new brutes and and The two guys and the new ard boys. Yes. Yes. I am very excited about all of it like beyond excited about all of it And I will go into unbelievably annoying detail next week into how I think they can all be used and where their strengths are and And stuff like that. So but uh, and I will even very likely have a game in with them by then So Do you think that this is the trajectory? Like adding two armies. What are you asking me about the pdf like what we've seen here with the pdf Uh under what circumstances? I don't know I don't know. I'm just thinking like especially with these narrative updates, right? Like I wonder if this is something that they may land Uh I hope they do I mean But just with these types of like updates where army updates are buried in supplement books I don't think it'll be that common of a thing to happen They do it at the end of every edition, which is why I bring that up. Sure Yeah, I think you're right. I think that at the end of editions when they're doing this kind of other stuff That's when we'll see it and my honest answer is good. Let's do it, right? Like let's put out those things. Yes I think the majority of the time they'll just be tied to battle tones and like and life will proceed on where you can get all the war scrolls for free anytime and The you know other all all other rules you used to have to buy the battle tone for or go to wapi here or something, right? Yeah, yeah So I don't yeah, you know, eric said one is more likely an anomaly than the start of a trend I mean, who wants to either thing they did a good job here. That's what I'll say I don't I don't want to make a future prediction either way I don't know because I don't know how many options they'll have opportunities They'll have for this Suppose it depends on our later predictions as to what we're going to get in future dawn bringers books Right. Are we going to get any other major hit like this? Right So I don't know because I mean this is like in like in retrospect for iron jaws like this is a pretty big update Like yeah, it's you're adding like Not only you're adding a play style. Yes, but you're adding like a solid. What three units plus four band Uh, so well, let's talk about it here. I mean so iron jaws right now ostensibly Has four units or sorry three units, okay pigs brutes hard boys now, that's not totally accurate In the same way that you don't like you talking about this being a fourth unit Obviously, there are two underworlds war bands as well and like those exist for fire slayers as well, right? So you you weren't right those heroes, but those have heroes in them. Yeah, I understand and and that isn't nest then one of the advantages to The iron jaws ones is that they don't Okay, the underworlds war bands are iron skulls boys and then the roots And iron skulls boys have and always will be an absolute all-star As far as iron jaws armies go now So but still whether you like those things to the side it's a it's primarily a three-unit army Right, and that's been its paradigm since it came out at the beginning of aos You know pre-aos one really And so adding two new versions of brutes right Resetting one of them the art boys as to what they are and what their role is and what they do And then adding all the different big pig variations right two of which aren't heroes All right Yep So ostensibly you really have like four four and a half I guess depending on what you want to do with art boys. They are a completely new scroll like it Lits nothing like the old scroll So but you know you went from in either in either event you went from three to You went from three to seven base So that red does represent a material change to the force now what that'll manifest to that's for discussion next week But I'm excited about all of them. That's that's the bottom line It's significant to me like and some of this is just ground-setting for our discussion tonight, right? That like it's significant that it's in one of these update books that we're literally getting A renovation of an art Yeah, it's not it's not just like we're gonna throw you a hero. That's not what this is Sure Like that is a big deal and so like Like I wanted I want to put a pin on that right because as we get into the discussion like There it looks like they're willing to swing big Yep, and I and I hope so um You know like I I say this is a great opportunity to do so To build this stuff out to clean up the particulars of the army to add Units who are capable, you know, they they have been doing these kinds of things through war cry sometimes where they can I think of like the the probably the best example of that That's kind of taken hold is from the war cry 2.0 launch with the the nergal guys yeah, right The robmeyer creed have have very quickly become kind of a staple part of many Nergal armies right because they were kind of filling a role in a place that that that nergal needed something to do So yeah, I I I hope we see a similar sort of instinct going forward. Yeah. Yeah All right, cool. Good stuff Uh, I think that's all our news, right? It's everything Okay Let's do some pick of the week All right, pick of the week. Who would you like to share with everybody tom? You know, we are nine years into this Sure And uh, you'd think that I would have internalized this process Of having something ready Of having something ready. Well, why don't I sell a share mine? So my pick of the week this week while while you're clearly quickly and panically scrolling through to find something uh My pick of the week is for good buddy friend of the show sam lenz Uh, who has a wonderful new video out and it's not very long, but it's about painting angron, which is a 40k thing. I know But he's also just a big bloodthirster. So it's he's it counts But specifically it's about non-metallic metal The reason I like this video so much is because It is relatively short. This is a pretty concise video And it's a pretty great explanation of how sam thinks about nmm And I really like the way sam thinks about nmm And it's something I get questions about all the time And he also shows that it's not actually that challenging to resolve that you can sort of tackle it pretty Pretty directly And so it's just a really nice concise video Um And so I thought it was really good. I wanted to shout it out. So sam lenz artwork great artists great guy Uh, go check it out down linked below I'm not gonna Pretend that I watched anything Okay, fair enough. I have nothing to screw today. That's okay. That's all right. Um, and sorry paul I'm not willing to to take a swing on your video, which is titled racial segregation And uh in cities of sigmar. Yeah, you may want to you may want to think about that title I thought the same thing. That's uh, like I get what he's going after But uh, well, that's a title See I went with like the ghettoization, right? Like sure. That's what we used to talk about with keywords But Racial segregation. That's a big swing ball. That's all I'm saying, buddy. Yeah, you may want to watch that in your youtube titles. All right Okay, cool. Uh, yeah, no problem, but uh, check that out down below um Okay Uh, now let's move on To some hobby time Uh, tom Have you picked up a paintbrush and painted anything as holy havoc is quickly approaching And uh, you don't have that long My desk is almost clean. Yeah Okay, yeah Okay, so that's a big fat no I'm almost here. Listen here. Uh, Rachel Rachel is pushing me so hard Sure. She's like, I'm ready to get back to building. What are we doing? Why are you not painting? So Yes, so you married a good one So she's so you're not the only one I I hear it on a daily basis probably at this point. Good. So Um, so it it it's gonna happen soon I hope so because if I have to hear some crap about you not having your stuff ready for holy havoc I'm gonna be I'm gonna be pissed. So I'm we're telling you right now tom. I'm ready to rock. I'm ready to go Okay, I'm tom. I'm already working on spring. I'm already working on holy wars, man Okay, so you gotta you gotta get in line buddy. Let's get this going Uh, okay my hobby time has been very very very busy this week Uh, I've made up for last week being gone at nova. We're right back into the mix So I'm gonna talk about this in a couple of things first off Uh, I finished up my big project That I can't talk about but it's done Okay, so I then I put this girl together This is shinobi from journeyman miniature. She's not primed or anything yet Um, because I just wanted to put her together I don't want to talk the reason I'm mentioning it is because this is actually for a display model like this Especially a bust One of the things I'll often do is put it on my desk like put it together and put it on my desk And just stare at it and like for a week. I'll just stare at it and every so often I'll pick it up and I'll turn it around in my hand for about a minute And I'll just think about colors and try to see it as a painted model in my hand And eventually if I do that long enough like I get a click of how I want the colors to fall And it all kind of snaps together But so you don't always know right away what you want to do for a model And so one of the things you can do is just keep it out there Keep it in sight and just think about it dedicate one minute of your day each day To turning it around in your hand and thinking about color schemes. You will eventually come to one So that's there. So in the meantime, well, that's percolating Okay I'm working on this big girl right here Um, and she is obviously, you know much farther along as you can tell I've been working a lot on the skin and that kind of stuff. She's a Very large model. I think she's at like 90 millimeters technically. I don't know if she's huge um But this has been a lot of fun And I want to have I've she's got like this kind of fade to green going on. I'm going to mess with that Yeah, that looks more that looks closer to like a one Because that looks like a solid like six inches Right, so like a hundred Let's see Yeah, she's a little over six inches tall So Yeah, I don't know. She's big But she's awesome. I don't know it was a 3d print and it's really fun to paint stuff like this Uh, so yeah, this is what I'm working on now And she's coming together. I'm I'm excited for all sorts of things I want to do with her Skeletal butterflies and things on her. She originally had wings But I didn't like the wings So I got rid of the wings and then just made new hair for her on the back. So Yeah So that's been my hobby time. Um, well, I'm also working on Very excited. I'm also working. I have begun the journey. Uh, she is very tall Of working on our next Adam and I's next Next game. So there's something that's done and is now in editing And then there's then and that's that's going through the process and then I'm working on the next next one So stay tuned Uh, a lot of exciting stuff there. I am mega hyped mega hyped so all right Uh, okay, so that's uh, that's everything with my hobby time with that Why don't we get over to the actual thing tonight? Tom? How about that? Sounds great. Okay. Let me bring up the presentation here But now predictions and possibilities All right So we're going to talk about our guests for the futures for book three and book four of Uh, uh of dawnbringers Okay so I'll I'll catch us up before we get into the predictions. Don't worry All right So, let's uh, let's talk about where we are right now Currently where we stand after book one. We're not going to talk about book two here. It'll we'll talk. We'll deep dive book two next week Okay Can we talk about the weird choice of red in those chaos water floats? Why? They're red. What's wrong with red? I don't know man. It's too bright They're they're very bright chaos warriors. They're proud of them. They're proud of their chaos nature. They dye their cloaks in blood or something But that's not blood. That's like cherry red. It's like they dye their cloak in cherries They've got big they got big Big big cherry bogs. Is that where cherries come from? I don't know what did cherries come from that cranberries? Cherries come from trees. I don't know bushes. What what does a cherry come from? I don't know. I don't eat cherries I'm I'm I'm I'm upset to say I don't know the I do not know the source of cherries Cherry trees, I guess is that was that was is that what they come from? Okay, I'm googling this right now Uh, the answer is yes. Yes. It is a tree. Okay, cool at any rate I didn't know if that was just like what we named to think because of its color. You never know Look, I don't know everything in the world. All right. I'm willing to admit what I don't know a thing So, yeah, they manifest there you go um, oh So Where we are in the story? right now Okay of Dave track touch grass. I'm I'm outside all the time my dog. They're into cherry trees in my yard So I'm not seeing anything. I don't know what I'm gonna see there. They don't grow in this part of the country okay so Where we are in the story right now tom if you remember back in book one What got set up is these these harbingers woke up right the sort of these four different harbingers and they start leading their forces around and Uh, there's like lots of different rumors going on if you remember there's gerion Who's the ghoul guy who's leading his forces that the noble savior of the proletariat? Right out there. Who's who's the fec ghoul leader? Yeah, and so on and so forth There's like the nurgle dude. There's the fire slayer leader who came in to help hammer hole Um oxhi, and then there's the little goblin rabble rousa and so on right and They all uh, what the the culmination But basically the end of that was we're going to go do these these dawn bringer crusades. It's finally happening I love how at the beginning of 2.0. We were talking about the dawn bringer crusades This is like part of the whole concept of 2.0 launch and it took us until the final year To get there Right. Yeah, I get it feels like Kind of disappointing right sure I remember we saw the initial art at launch for the dawn like I've got it in the in the it's it's the thumbnail for the show yep It feels like This is going to be a deep cut it feels like we've just got to constant noble Right. Like we have this crusade and we're like, yeah Let's go do this And then they like get halfway and they're like Yeah, we don't want to go all the way to the holy land. So we're just going to sat constant Like I I absolutely knew what you were referencing. Yes Yeah, we're like It feels like the build-up's just been this big long thing and then they're like We'll just hang out here, right? I just it's like I would have expected that they would have been like full on the march At the beginning of this edition and that's not what we got like you would think we would you would be leading Right with the city's book and like doing this whole redesign and that creates the narrative, right? Like then doing that creates the impetus in the conflict and stuff like that because of what's being pushed forward And it's like not dog work. That's going to push the new edition We're going to spend a lot of time mustering Yeah Arrested at Walfall house. So did they might be giants, but you know, that's just what happens Okay, so The That that what they decide is we're going to finally do this thing and they send out the the twin tailed crusades, right? So one leaves from hammerhall is leaving from is due to leave from hammerhall oxhia And one from guy ran and we'll talk about the immediate things that happen in book two next week, right? But that's kind of what's going on. So we're leading these big Right, we're leading these like big crusades out to settle new cities tame the wilderness Right, all these kinds of stuff, right? And so and and what we know is happening is Uh Is like other things are responding, of course to being provoked, right? Hence Trug and the new iron jaws and all this stuff. Yeah Yeah in book one We got our four little Harbingers our four little heroes and therefore regiments over now Yep, right our new little ally things And those have been I think decently popular especially in certain forces like I've seen a lot of sons of bammat with the the little On the little we're using the little goblin force, right? Yep. Yep. So on and so forth Obviously some of those guys were really cool. I thought the gerion Flesh of your courts model was really cool. I thought the nergal Redone guy was really really sweet like good good models But it was just four little heroes and getting little heroes is something we're very used to it's like That's how these books become over stuffed with too many heroes is you know, we got to release something And they they release little heroes, right? Um so then Book two what we know we're getting what they've already talked about is All of these new iron jaws Some new giant stuff, right? Some new sun stuff. We're getting shrug big Uh Troll trolking guy, right? Yep. So that's not a little hero like that's a huge major new addition to The the warm range in this thing and then we're getting you know, those aren't those aren't the iron jaws thing is obviously big And we don't you know the sun stuff. We don't know exactly what's there yet, right? Yep So this time we we showed okay, we can go real far with this right this can be as you said a major expansion So in the first one We had one harbinger from each grand alliance Yeah And the people who got attention specifically Were and who are still around like all those all those people survived Right, none of the none of the harbingers named harbingers died Right, right are a flesh eater courts in death A the I don't remember his name, but the whatever shutter shutter blight shutter hood something like that Shutter pox. I don't know something like that Shutter guy in nergal. Yeah Yeah the fire slayers hero and The goblin rabble rosa Okay, yeah I love that the only name I can really remember is jarian because he was such like an interesting character in the story Um because of the mythology that built up around him Like it's actually it shows good writing is around a character is when you can actually easily remember their name Even when you don't really care about the story that much. So there you go Um Chase says iron jaws wave 2 not only looks good, but gives me good feelings for ko and other armies wave 2 All right, let's let's hope so Um Oh, yes, that's right. They've also mentioned the book too has this ko grunt stock expedition force Yes Full goth's shutter hood. Hey, there you go. That's what his name is. It's good good. Good shouting out Andrew So that's where we currently stand tom. Okay What we've seen is we can get A lot of different Options here up to and including basically a full wave 2 of an army Yeah, right. Yeah And assumingly we're going to get book 3 and book 4 In the lead-up to The launch of fourth ed Right. Can you think that books? 3 and 4 will launch In this year. No, I think 3 will and 4 will be in next year Fascinating. Okay Yeah Um, I mean they got to sell us something next year so Well, right like I recognize that um I reckon like we had like two month gaps between most of the broken realms books Yeah Yes, yeah I mean those were released under unusual circumstances to say the least but yes, they were they were that's certainly true Um, but it just made me wonder like obviously we'll probably have book 2 soon Yeah, I mean it goes on pre-order next This this coming weekend. So yeah soon Um, and so that means that like october ish Right end of september october is when we now have it um, and then I could imagine Going another six weeks at least before we have book 3 Uh, sure at least. Yeah, at least. I mean my particular guess would be In fact, it's true. We're we're deep into november then and normally we don't get new releases in november November december, we don't normally get new new releases. So it's true. We've had we've many years had december armies when Tell me Reapers came out in december obviously our bone reapers. No, they didn't they weren't october army Uh, I don't think that's true chat get a chat check me They're not okay What we're gonna do here tom is you're gonna make me come over here and reference The release of every uh book So there it is Okie dokie Let's see here. So OBR, where are they at? Nurgle was a january army. It was an out of the arc. We're october. You're right october 26th All right, that's fine Uh slaves to darkness was the december army We got the box the gift box right in december. Yep But that's when the book itself came out The book in the bundle Was in december as part of like a december uh like christmas thing But the full like larmy army release didn't drop until like april or something into the indwa when that far But yeah, it was in the new year. Yeah My point is there it happened like that that did occur in december so Whatever Whatever that's worth it happened tom um I don't know if I consider gift boxes that don't have a free release of a book Like because you had to buy the box in order to get the book like you couldn't get the actual book until the new year I just I share that just because in general we don't see a lot of new releases By mid november. We just don't Correct the ogre and in in 2022 The ogre lumineth release Uh, or though the ogre release was I'm sorry was in november Right, but that was like the very beginning of november. That's what I'm saying november We almost yeah, we don't normally like we don't normally get launches from like past november 12 Right like past that week two all the way through All the way through the new year like we'll get announcements and stuff like that, but we don't normally see new product And so I only like those like battleforces and stuff like that will be there, right? But like actual launching product line No, correct They they have on occasion released books and things in in december. Okay, november december I think that the fec book they've pretty communicated pretty clearly communicated when they like to launch new army books And that's october Right. Yeah, if you look back in october that month is yes, kyle. He always moves the goalposts on me and these kinds of conversations That's what tom does um The he'll like he starts with a really hard statement and then when I prove it wrong he like pulls back Like the quine dunheim hypothesis or thesis is like a tom is just a living example of that Um, that you cannot provide a factual statement to someone strong enough to make them abandon their position only modify it at any rate the The They they do clearly love putting army books out in october like the final army book of the year coming in october If you look back over the years of aos that is a pretty common pattern. There's a lot of final army books Uh, they came in there. So like Assumingly the fec book is like sometime in october right Um, if it's if it's if it matches with everything else we've seen My feeling would be if you were going to put dawn bringers part three out that would be your november book this year Like if they were going to do a november december book it would be that That's my feeling. Yeah, something narrative. Yeah Yep, because I think they can get away with stuff like that see The only reason why I bring it up is because it just makes me wonder if we'll see If we'll see Book three in this year Like i'm wondering if we won't see book three until like end of january Just would then allow them to be book four in april within the new edition launching in um In june, you know in june july like which is the like that's that is a much more kind of normal standard rhythm Which is why I bring it up. Yeah, sure and like realistically um They Very much will still have other releases Underworlds things work. Right. Well, you know, like it's not as though the the calendar for aos goes dry Just because they don't have those books, right? Yeah Um The city stuff that still has the rest of the city stuff that still has to actually release, right? Um, so there's plenty of things they still have to release to fill up the calendar for this year Yeah, and so you could very well be right. They may slow play it and say actually it comes out january next year I that wouldn't surprise me. In fact, I'd say it's probably 50 50 Right, and then you put out the the fourth dawn bringer book I don't think they want to put out anything too close to to launch to once because realistically, let's let's talk about it this way They're going to announce fourth edition aos at adapter con 2024 Right, of course. Yep. Yep. That's the right answer. Okay. Like this this stuff has a rhythm now. Yeah That's like poetry it rhymes and um You know, so my my general yes, even chance that book three is in fall according to the roadmap If they stick to that that that's what I would say that like november would match for that now if they Like my feeling is they'd want the last dawn bringer book out before that Like once you've announced your new edition people's excitement about buying books of rules for the current edition Falls like a rock and you might think well, that's crazy. We're all sitting here right now In september of 2023 saying we all know fourth editions coming next year because they're on a three-year cycle We all know they're going to announce it at adapter con so we know when that's going to happen, right? Yeah, why wouldn't everybody else know this? Well, the because the reality is a lot of people Surprisingly not everybody watches this show. I which I still take personal offense to uh But the Joking aside, there's a lot of like low-information players out there who aren't aware of like the the rhythms the cycle stuff like that But when they announce the new thing at adapter con that will like go wide enough to permeate those circles and once that happens those people's Buying proclivities All right, so She's in general, I think they'd want to have it all released by the time we get to march whatever whatever 2024 Hey, Caleb. What's up, buddy? Good to see you Uh, I'm sure Caleb part of a family that has to be very excited about this right now I I I want to know what scooters take is on this. It's got to be uh, he's got more more pig action He's got to be a great day for scooter. This is a day. He's been dreaming about for years Uh, so I'm curious to get scooters hot take at some point on on new pig options um The man who has truly defined what it means to be a gorgon to iron jaws player for years now um All right So I think that's basically our timeline right my guess is book three Let's call it October At earliest january at latest and then book for january at earliest march at latest That's my That's fair. Yeah Okay, so that's our timeline And our setup right, so now Let's get into that real tinfoil hat stuff. By the way, if you haven't already hit like you should do that Hit like it helps other people find the show. It's so easy. It's just clicking a little button Subscribe fun stuff like that. We appreciate it. It's as easy as it's as easy as clicking a little button Okay Let's talk about what's coming up next Armies and sub factions Let's start here tom Okay So book one Again very fast review FEC Nurgle fire slayers Gits all got touched in some way. Yep. Okay book two Gits again double tapping iron jaws sons of badmont uh KO all got touched Okay, so we have eight armies That have been touched so far All right, seven armies have been touched so far one of them that have been touched twice. I apologize. That's what I'm trying to say Yeah, okay So clearly we've learned one we can repeat Right If it's a popular enough faction, I think that would be their measure Give us something that we can expand there Yeah, I think gets is popular enough It's a hugely popular army and to me. I think it's popular enough. They're like, yeah, we'll double dip on this Now I think gets is done. I don't think you're gonna see gets in book three or four That's it. They're they're over now. They got there at their time. Okay so What's our book three picks tom? Who's up next book three book four? What would we expect to see? I won't hold you to like specific Uh books. We don't have to say separate three from four in either book. What are we what are we gonna touch? Who needs The touch we're not going to talk about what exactly they're getting yet for the moment. We're just going to talk about the things they're doing Well, I think lumeneth could always use a little bit of a socket Such an under such an under touched faction, you know, they've had so little since their initial launch um Okay, all right Yeah, that's true. Charles said the roadmap says book three and four are both coming this year Book four could be delayed, but they haven't even confirmed the series only four books I'm guessing that the series is four books because every series they've ever done is four books They seem to really like that that thing Okay, they love the four book cycle All right, so tom what is coming in book three or four and importantly why Okay So you said lumeneth. All right, so lumeneth is you're at your first pick What and why like like not model-wise just like You know, okay. Why why lumeneth? Why lumeneth? They take that back. I think we're gonna get lumeneth in book four Okay, um, I think we're gonna get a shift to old goo as part of this And I think that lumeneth are inherently gonna be part of that shift to old goo But I don't think that that's gonna happen in book three um My question is is do you think that we'll have a cities Like a uh cities of sigmar Like touch in this at all. No. Yeah, I don't yes. I like I know they got a new book, right? um But I just it makes me wonder They're the protagonists Their book is their entrance in their entrance in the story Okay, okay So they're inherently out. So who do we have let's like let's look at over the the potential players Okay, um for order. We have fire slayers Mm-hmm. They've already been touched Uh, I mean have they though? Yeah, they got a hero Uh, and they're not a popular word. They're not getting my vote for their book one They're they're not they're not getting my vote for getting touched twice No, that's fair. That's fair. Um, and so we have potentially doc um idk lumeneth seraphon Stormcast and sylvaneth Yep All right. Okay, so I'm gonna state that I really think book three We're gonna get something sylvaneth Okay, we'll talk about models in a moment, but we're gonna we're gonna put our guests Sure, I'll put so like my vote for book three. I'm gonna make a note here. So I remember to come back to it later Okay Because I'm I'm planting a flag when we talk about models on the next slide I want to I'll then we'll expand on our guesses, right? So but the first is why okay, why sylvaneth? One It's a very popular faction Okay, people love sylvaneth two One of the tales of the twin-tailed comet Or the twin-tailed expeditionary force is marching from hammerhall guy ran Yep, just like where The sylvaneth live Right, right, right like they live there and so you know A big part of the story Miss not a miss like not appearing in this story, but but still relevant to it somehow was uh, a l'oreal in the first book like the whole A big part of the whole setup in the first book What allowed them to like grow a bunch of food and get these expeditions ready and stuff was her like Healing rain waters that fell down Right Yeah, but they but they haven't been touched. I mean you've got this huge human force right pushing out Which is kicking up all the nergal to come fight them like that's Happening in the story who's also another major player and guy ran, right? Yep, and so it just makes sense to me that we're going to see sylvaneth enter into this Discussion they just have to it's it's like their plane. It's their realm I mean, I know they exist in other realms too, but but this is the main one Yeah So I just I can't see them. It feels like they're going to be the next pickup If if book two is like the the expeditions go forth, right then book three is going to be consequences Right and the first one that's going to happen there Is the sylvaneth being like hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, this is not my Batman glass right like immediately So that's my vote who else you got? Um, well if that's the case, uh, I'm gonna lean and suggest that we may see some beasts of chaos Now here's here. Here's my catch for beasts and this is what I'm unsure about I'm ready man man that line needs a refresh okay and so How like if does it get touched lightly? It's a huge book Yep, right. Yep Like we know we have an fec book coming this fall I don't know that we're gonna see we might see a spring book as well, but I don't know That we will right And so we'll certainly I don't think we're getting any other army books until fourth edition That's what I'll say right no, no, and I would agree with that I would agree with that And so if that's the case, um Like it just it feels like uh, that beast could always use a touch Um, and they could potentially double dip there and do both beasts and zinch Okay And that that might be inappropriate. Um, because where you have nergal you may have zinch a sniffing around as well Um, he has often the the two enemies are paired together in some sense And so what I mean by that is with the dust up with the pushing in we may see some aspect of that So I could see um, and I think that and I don't think this is It's not just my predilection like the zangor are um Have been a a draw like something that's like popular within beast of chaos style Um, and so I could see them kind of capitalizing on that and then them getting to basically play in two spaces With both the disciples of zinch and then also beasts. So I think that could be possible and if we have those I could also um, see us get some cruel boys, um because If you already have like so if you're already playing in that space narratively, right I could see cruel boys being another antagonist or another point of tension Let me say this I think you're right on beast and zinch, but I actually think it should be a book four. Yes Okay, let me tell you the justification for my thinking here. Okay I don't think they're directly involved in anything that's like in in the immediate sense of what's going to happen in the story right So I think like book three is consequences and then book four is like the shake out that then leads us into fourth edition right And so since we're back around this will come to my guests later, but since we're back around to like probably having a chaos Starter box We're going to kick the hive of chaos Into into overdrive and so book four. I think we'll touch multiple chaos factions in the same way we touched a bunch of destruction factions this time Okay, okay So I think I think having both zinch and boc fall into Uh Into book four would make sense for me kind of what's happening with these chaos forces what they're doing on the move What's that where they sit after the results of this right as we lead into a more chaos heavy season Right because they'll want to use book four to like launch pad Everything else that's gonna that's gonna happen over fourth and they'll so if it's gonna be chaos as the main opponent again Right, which is what we're back to Then we'll need to get all of the pieces set up Okay, and so I think that's why you put that in book four. That's my that's my take Okay, how do you feel about that? Maybe I mean the only attention or the only the issue that I would have said I think that um Like I have a pretty clear vision of where I think they're going to go with the new edition Right and the new chaos army, which we'll talk about that in a moment. Yeah We'll talk about that later on um, and so I think that um A lot of what we're going to see is order overextending. Yep And then I think that what's going to happen is is that um Then we're going to get a chaos faction and jump into that cap. Sure okay Are we after this book we got a double dip on Gets we touched iron jaws. We touched Uh Sons are we just done with destruction now? I don't think we'll see anything with bones splitters. Um, I could see something where cruel boys honestly, okay, let me give you my vote for ogres in book three Really? Okay. What about So, okay The other half of the comet is in hammer hall oxha, right? Right and if you kind of look on the map in the first book There's a bunch of ogre pits or ogre maws or whatever they're called. I don't know like there's there's There'll be ogres in them hills Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay And So like they are very ready to easily introduce in the story like if you look at like where this action is taking place There's a bunch of different like ogres are around here Yeah, right. Yeah and so to me it feels like on the oxha side You should have you should touch ogres and you should touch corn Because those are the two big forces. Oh, yeah, yeah, they're like there right and in the space Yeah So but but so you think that we would get to what I'm hearing is sylvanath corn ogres The that's book three Yeah, we probably need one more they seem to be we'll assume they're gonna touch four that seems to be what they've done twice Um, so that's that's basically two in oxha and only one in gairan I think you're like my my issue is cruel boys actually kind of make sense Like as an army that needs it. Yeah Yeah But do we have another hit? I like touch of destruct. It's like so much destruction action Yeah, right. Well, this is this is the destruction season It's true. That's true. So maybe this is like their last big hurrah All right, like they're gonna go out as as sort of the uh, and antagonists of the uh, of the store there We will have an over emphasis of order though if that's the case uh Or like an I let me say not an over emphasis a An under references rather of oh sure. Yeah, I mean we'll have almost no order armies actually touched Sure, sure. I mean it could be I mean, like I said, we got selva nothing here And we haven't talked about what's in book four because I do think I I have a feeling on what's in book four I'll talk about in a minute because I think there is an over army there The when I just think about like What armies need a touch that have Some kind of justification to be messing around in gairan Right. Yeah Like what What possibly who's possibly in this space? One of the big problems is I don't know what death's doing here at all Like we've got that flesh eaters messing around in aksha and that's fine. Like I get them Okay, or sorry, I didn't know they're messing again, right? But it's soul blight really showing up in uh, the realm of life, right? I mean, yes, and yes, I know there aren't dead and I know they go into all the realms blah blah blah blah but it's like they're not they don't Neither obr nor Soul blight nor night haunt feel like they're really a big part of this or would be In there in any way in the narrative. Yeah. Yeah, and that that just shuts off that whole rest of that grand alliance Right, right um Now You could touch nurgle a second time But they really really really don't need it Here's a funny question go for it. What about seraphon? That's an interesting pickup Okay, okay, what if we were I mean, they did just have their book, but sure At like a co-last focused seraphon Living in the jungles of giro. They do that is a place they live. Yes That is a thing And they would be an order army where you could get a proper dust up, right? Like as people are pushing out into there And then pushing back for their own, you know, like to carve out their own space. Yeah I don't hate that. I kind of like that. I don't know what it would be But we'll talk models in a minute. By the way, it's not always necessarily models Right, right, right So, okay. Okay. I'm gonna go with that. I like that tom. I'm gonna say seraphon's a good That's a that's a good pick for other book three one. So book four Right Yep And like it's clear that they proved to me with book two like the first one they said, hey, we're gonna touch every grand alliance It's gonna be one for each, right book two no Destruction almost all of it and then a little bit of order Right, so they're clearly willing to lean one direction Okay Is book four the lean chaos version of that? Does it have like another chaos force in it? I don't know what that would be But we've talked about boc and zeeps. They've got two chaos forces at least in there Right Now let me give you my other hot pick for book four Okay Okay Doc Okay Well, I think we do take a turn towards old do I do I I we don't need to turn towards old do Okay Sure Sure Um Okay so in Um Marathi right She uh, she took over a city Yeah, yeah You remember this yes Yep Okay, so she took over anvil guard Yeah Yeah and Anvil guard Is not in Nor the new version of it Right, what was it called now hark hark you're on right? Yeah That's what it got renamed It's in oxy It is it is okay And if book four is about like The other pieces move in and set everything up well Sigmar's forces are going to be theoretically like weekend or they moved to their positions or a bunch of different stuff has happened Right, the place has gotten shaken up. Now's the time to reintroduce. Hey, by the way, what's happening over in hark you're on Right, what's happening in in ex anvil guard city? This was one of the major cities of sigmar. It's not that far away From hammerhall. Yeah. Yeah Okay Um in the scope of infinitely large planes And you could begin to tease Right. Um You know, you could be get you could get some foreshadowing Um with them as well with regard to malaria and Exactly if we believe malaria is going to be coming if we believe that the shift in a os4 Does will take us to olgu which I tend to agree. That's the plane will go to Yeah, okay And if we believe in that release cycle at some point in the three-year period will get malaria Yep, then having marathi as part of the setup stuff For the next edition That would make sense to me to touch to touch doc in book four So i'm gonna push back and say then that our fourth set of armies Is lumineff Because I would would suggest that it's marathi pushing out and I think lumineff counters, okay And that becomes the narrative impetus for the introduction of malaria and in fourth Okay, so we have two chaos and two order forces in book four. Is that your is that your pick? Yeah, I think so. That's where I'm at. That's where I'm at. Um I could also see by the way if you didn't do lumineff you could also do slinash as the excess Of doc So if you didn't If you didn't do the turner play of uh, lumineff you could do The excesses of harcaron invoking slinash Then inviting slinash it Yeah, well, I don't think marathi's gonna get free in or sorry marathi. I don't think um slinash is gonna get free in a in a Uh Dawnbringer crusade book right like I just I don't think that's I'm not slaying. Sorry like no, I understand that I understand that I I'm not saying you're implying that I don't I'm saying is if you're gonna set up if she is gonna get free in fourth at some point like if that's it We've been teasing that for a while Okay Uh You know Archeon went in there and started busting chains And then he got culled away because catacross was wrecking his his His toys So If we're gonna set that thing up to happen sometime in fourth Yeah, sure. You could you could touch that you could you could do that So now she could be the other one All right, let's put that down as an option as well because we could go it could be the mirror Like I said to the book too where it's like this is the chaos every time like three Chaos in one order that would mean very little death touch over any of this by the by Which I mean they last edition was their Edition so they are the least likely to have development narrative development Nagash has been right now, right? Like that's what happened at the end of second edition Was not Nagash got his teeth kicked in and and vanished to non-existence Sure, I want you he reco less right like he's so awning right now So like I I would anticipate that that death is not a major player in what's happened. Okay Um ready to roll does raise a good point that he said they did bring back the lion in the 40k arcs of omen book Which was huge that's a fair also a fair point bringing back the lion was a big move So that's fair It's fair Okay So it could be but I just I don't see him finally cracking those chains I think they want to do that in the lead-up to like whatever the next Lanesh book is Yeah, yeah okay so So what are our predictions are here our book three selvaneth corn ogre seraphon Book four boc zinch doc lrl slanesh. We'll go a little wide on the last book Maybe they maybe they break the cycle and have five in the last one. Who knows they can always zig when they're gonna zag Okay, well and potentially the the beast doc could be one thing like it could just be Beasts Beasts as primary You mean beast you mean beast zinch Being zinch. That's what I mean Beast zinch. Uh, well doc disciples and chaos. Sorry. Um Our disciples zinch. No. Yes dot. Yeah doc. Yeah, my brain's not working right now. I apologize. Oh good Uh, but so it could potentially be um It could potentially be that like that chaos pairing that we had named of beasts and zinch Could just be one one thing. Yeah. Yeah, like beasts perins Mostly zinch stuff Yes, yeah, and so then in that sense both get touched in some sense. Yeah Yeah, maybe they get like a melee disc riding hero and some other stuff. Yeah Keith roger said slanesh gets out Is The story arc that gives us tirion the army's guarding the prison would be freed up to do other stuff That's an interesting point. I hadn't thought about that. It's a really good point. Keith. I like that a lot Uh, Dave track says the death book should set up events that lead to miss tovin becoming the new mordheim It's a nice idea though. If they have any brains in their head Mordheim will release with the old world like shortly after the old world at some point because That's the exact appropriate place to put that thing Uh, so if they if they literally have if there is anyone on that side of the specialist game studio that has A working brain cell they will just re-release mordheim as a specialist game product Alongside the old world at some point Yeah, and it will be successful Yeah, probably more successful than the old world itself. Yes Um because people love mordheim. Um, okay All right So let's talk. So that's our that's our army predictions. Okay, cool Let's uh, let's go on to new models. Let's do our new model predictions tom. Here we go Okay, so we've got our we've got our factions down Now it's time to talk about models So let's do I've just got some samples here of some of the best models we've seen so far namely big pig and gerion The fec harbinger my two favorites out of everything we've seen Okay uh, so What are we seeing in book three sylvaneth corn ogres and seraphon now We know with ogres Uh, we've already gotten new gorges right um from the um Uh, excuse me from the the that was that It's like a war cry box it. Yeah, the hunter dudes against the ogres. Yeah That's where that's where it's from. So we've got that new we got them new gorges them sweet new gorges. Okay Yeah Do we use this opportunity with ogres? to just get Uh to just get a new freaking butcher and slaughter master for the love of everything holy is that what we get here Uh, I'm in that's the case. That's a that'd be a beautiful update Okay Here's the other option The other option is The ogres come in not in the way you think The other option is The forces of the crusades need some additional muscle And they because then they come in as mercenaries. They hire some ogre mercenaries and we use that to introduce new man-eaters Like a completely revitalized man-eaters sculpt and just like that could be one big crazy kit Okay, they'll let you assemble a bunch of different fun and exciting man-eaters I could see that Um, and then that would actually fit the like Many faction like the support faction format sure Right like the like the regiment style sure Like it could be a named regiment of man-eaters. Yeah Um, I'm inclined something like that. I think narratively is that's way more interesting than they just encroach on uh ogre terracotta They just they just make new ogre models because we need to make new ogre models Yeah, yeah Like I think that I think the man-eater is a much narrative More interesting and by the way, you could still do the butchers if you want to do the butcher and the uh and the The slaughter master the slaughter master like the that would be perfectly appropriate. Sure I think, you know To me, uh, oxy is a very mercenary plane Um, you know, it's the whole point of the thing is it's full of like hotheads and and warmongers and stuff like that Right and people just fight all the time to fight and and Mercenaries are very common. Um, you know, there's even been like there's lots of Um, like dark oath and and chaos mercenaries that will hire out and work for anybody Even right. Yeah fire slayers mercenaries like it's a very Common thing. So I think having the ogres work like that Um could very much could very much slot in pretty pretty darn easily um So I'd love to like my first choice to be that give me them many give me like a sweet three-man man-eater kit that you can build in Let's say six different ways just to be generous Okay, there's to be conservative. Sorry not generous conservative Nine different ways if you're generous, right or or near infinite if you want to play that route like where it's like Oh, you can actually put different accoutrements, right on them um But but like primarily they build into sort of six major body builds or something like that, right? um Like three sets of legs six sets of torsos you get it, right or six torsos And then a bunch of different arms and and heads and weapons. There you go. Hopefully that would be the kind of kit um Okay Uh, all right Tom you said seraphon Do seraphon get any new models or are they the ones that like are they not going to like be any Any model stuff go for it? They get one Okay, I think we get big pig style Okay, what we get is we get a big long neck brontosaurus variant Oh, okay Like a hundred and fifty mil pipe plate Wow, okay I think that we get one kit And I think that it's like the apexosaur or something right where they like lean into Like they lean into like they because if you look at all of them like all of them are brands on like standard dinosaurs for the monsters sure and um Like this stegodon is stegodon, you know, like it's a triceratops triceratops. Yeah We don't have like a brontosaurus is at your point Yes, we don't have any long necks, right? And so it could be something like not just like a Like it could have some interesting like Uh, like spiky tail or you know, like there are some like these there's no like stegosaurus, right style thing And so it could be something big like that big and I don't know scary Okay, like you don't really have any centerpiece big monsters outside of the carnosaur Um, and even the carnosaur is not on like a huge huge pipe plate Sure, he's just a standard cherry-based guy. Yeah, and so like Something like space wise filling that dreadsaurian style So is this like a war platform in your mind? Like does it have a ton of skinks on the back and stuff like that? Like maybe it's got some kind of it's got some kind of cannon or something like little lasers on the side That sort of thing and then a bunch of skinks Like think Dino writers. Yeah. Yeah That's what's in my head Yeah, and like a full unit of skinks like 16 skinks just hanging on for dear life Okay Yeah I like that My vote would either be they get that or they get no models That's that's a little because they had such a major line refresh Right. I could see them end up being like the the sort of like KO type of thing where I'd say, oh, they get they get attention and focus, but they're not maybe some rules, you know But they but they don't have any new models like you got your new models earlier in the year be happy with what you got Yeah, yeah, and right. Yeah, I could I could just imagine something big like that. Mm-hmm. Sure Like filling that filling the hole that the the now Um, you know departed Uh dreadsaurian Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay So I think sylvaneth I still I I really do stand behind sylvaneth being something that's going to show up in this book three or whatever Yep, because of the march through guy ran But what are we saying for sylvaneth's? Uh What are we saying for sylvaneth's model? Do they get any new models? But what happens with sylvaneth? Um, so we we've updated with bugs. So that aesthetic, um Something so they could go two ways, right? Um, one would be some type of dryad style update Right because we haven't had anything with them in light years Um, so I think they could or some type of new kernaughty like something big um and beefy but not full on Uh Tree person Right because I don't think it'll be the hybrid spirits Sure Okay, like we've gotten a lot of those we've gotten a supplementary unit of that and so I'm leaning towards um Something that is either kernaught or um Yeah, something like that. I think if they were to do it Okay. Yeah, I mean a lot of people earlier were shouting out kernaughty As being the hopeful thing they wanted to see for for the sylvaneth expansion My guess is it wouldn't be that big But I think if we're going to have sylvaneth I think they want to actually use them as sort of in an antagonist way in the story And if they're going to go that direction Then to me What you do here is You get yeah, you like what you mentioned about draka's stuff Okay So we're get something new in the spite line Yeah, like draka like spite revenants Something dark like that Okay, okay, okay Maybe it's a new it could be could be a new foot hero like could be a little mini draka You know, which race spite revenant character In much the same way that the sort of the The tree revenants Kind of have a version of like their hero like a thing that kind of looks like them in the arch revenant tree revenant arch revenant Yeah, it kind of aligns, right? And So like you'd get like an arch spite Yeah revenant, I don't know you do you get what I mean, right like a hero ish that Yeah, yeah, I think could could be a direction that you'd go if you were going to get the single Model If you're gonna do the single model take it's dark. It would fit with the antagonist stuff It's an open hole in the line where they could stick another hero in They keep trying to make spite revenants and draka and all the dark silver nothing like the dark fey But they it's like it just doesn't have enough of this stuff in the book. It's still a bunch of it still leans very tree revenant side, right? Yeah Oh, anthony dancer said spite magi Neat that'd be a cool name. I like that um, I dig that So something like that. I think if you're gonna get the single hero I think that or either do something like a spite coven like lean into like the hag ish sure Yeah, like Have a trio of spites that function like a like hag coven Yeah, I would that would be cool as yes, like the the three The three the sort of the three witches the three fates like playing to that piece of fairy tale slash Mythological lore. Yeah, sure. Absolutely. They love they love pulling on crap like that, right? So that's that's a good one. Tom. I think that's a really interesting pick um at the same time They could have like almost along that same line. They could have like the spite kernathi version Yeah, okay. Yeah, like something in that mid-range model size could be the same thing. Like you mentioned We're rather looking at like war like berserkers. Yeah, right like would they bark partially flayed or something like that? Yep Yeah So like despite full kernathi, right that are sort of mangled twisted kind of angry You could call the chard or something like that and they could be like partially like burned. Yep. Yep Embersworn I like I so I like all that. Yeah 100 percent 100 percent Okay, that leaves corn. What are we doing with corn here in book three tom? More foot heroes more foot heroes. Yeah, we got to get well, obviously corn is really shy on their foot heroes We got to get more of those out there Okay Yep Seriously, what do we do with corn? Sanguine champions Yeah Like the last thing they need Is more Uh, is more heroes. I think we can all agree on that Uh, no the answer is dogs Um, I I think the answer for corn is to lean into dogs And you do a great hunt style uh corn thing Right, um, which is about um Yeah, I don't know maybe Uh, brawny mate just said new valkia in the chat. Of course That's an eat like that's to me. That's a low eating fruit like they have to be new valkia at some point. Yeah Um What if they did new Um new Goodest doggo and valkia Well, we already have a relatively new karnak. If that's what you mean Like karnak himself is not that old. He comes from the the launch of aos Does he really? Yeah Yep We got new car new new karnak and new dogs at basically whenever that corn refresh was in the end times But the valkia one makes sense that feels like the perfect call like a replacement unit for corn. I I completely believe Yeah, like again, I could see valkia for sure Um, scaling her up to not be tiny Yeah, she's way too small I I mean, I will say this karnak is Um, he is like made to order right or like like aren't like he has a restricted ordering status Um, I just don't think we're in a replacement on like a eight-year-old model Yeah, it's possible so What else would you want to see in corn? Like we could get new bigger dogs What if we got like big elite dogs? Right like and that's what I was imagining is something along those lines Something be she'll not just crushers not just dudes Sure And another area of development that they could re return to would be the throne slash bull cannon stuff Like the chariot s Um, they could re explore something like that in the priest sphere Because there's a lot of priest stuff. I like that. You're kind of online with what john s just said when he said mortal corn chariot and Like a big a true like throne with a priest on it like rolling around. Yeah, absolutely Would you have it actually being pulled then by fleshhounds? rather than by No, you could by juggernauts Or you could do juggernauts, I guess. Yeah I think you like a big heavy corn chariot that's like rolling out right and And has like a priest on it Like the war altar equivalent the old the old empire war altar for the equivalent but for corn, right? Like the blood altar Something like that And Yeah, get that out get that going with With some juggies pulling it. I think that could be pretty freaking amazing So, yeah, I mean it could replace the blood throne or not. I mean the blood throne is the model I've always wanted to be good, but it has sucked consistently basically forever It's just has never had an identity. Sure Digital zero says if not a foot hero, what about something in the vein of a slaughter priest on blood beast and not a juggernaut or skull crusher But an actual huge monster. Sure. They've shown willingness to do weird huge monsters in corn Like weird huge blood blood monsters um I think that could be That could be something. Yeah, sure. Absolutely um Meganosh says how would they give a chariot with jugs and and not redo the actual juggernauts? Oh, I mean That would that would not be that weird. I would absolutely believe that would happen But I just think like a juggernaut drawn chariot with a big, you know Alter on the top or something would be cool as the only thing that might that might wave them off something like that is they might think Well, we already have that The the skull altar, right as a terrain beast And so they don't want to have a second one of those But maybe that's exactly why they do it because it acts as a sort of second mobile skull altar, right? Um, and that like that you never know how they're going to break with those kinds of things, right? Um, okay, cool. All right, let's talk about book four then and some new models over there BOC so you're leaning to BOC zinj. Do you think it's is it bird stuff? What do they get? Do they get they get zinchy bird stuff? Uh, I think we get an update of the cockatrice model And I think we get a new disc hero that is a melee based uh zancor An update of the cockatrice model and a new melee based Like what kind of zangor like you're saying not that just the regular zangor on foot now What do you mean? Can you break that out for me? Like, uh, I am imagining Could it be some gasp? a Think about a um So we have A zing or shaman Mm-hmm Um, who's a caster hero? I could uh I could imagine like a zing or herd leader Or something like that as a melee style hero on a death A zing or swinging a big ass weapon Right on it. Okay. Um, and it would be a real interesting tech piece that would then could then show up in both Zinge and like as in like an eight wound hero Sure, like a really cool zinge melee bird zangor on disc Okay Yeah, and that would be a weird like even in zinge armies it might have Right. Yeah That's a high noble little puncher Okay I don't hate that. I don't hate that at all key said plastic blue scribes Yeah, if they go like the boring just replace a hero route replacing the blue scribes could absolutely be something down because that model is it's trash So like getting that replaced or the doom bull replaced or something like that would all be Would all be good if they were just gonna like go the the single hero Let's replace an old model in the range line. I think both of those are viable targets That's worth it Sure, sure. Oh god. Yes, dear lord. What a nightmare. I mean that could be again That could be a way that combines like do a zangor chariot right, right So like replace the old tusk or chariot with a new zangor chariot right Like a bigger bird chariot, so There you go And yes, Keith rogers says one of my friends has a doom bull on a flying carpet It was a conversion for an old warrior fantasy magic item. Oh, yes I know I remember the flying carpet doom bull very well. It was a very common build Many people have doom bulls on flying carpets in their in their armies if they have them for a sense from fantasy Yep um Okay I like that idea. I like that idea a lot tom. I love the idea of just like a real cool melee Zangor disc hero to kind of compliment the shaman. I think that's a good idea Um Nothing like that exists in those armies sure sure Okay, cool Uh, I like that um all right Sinesh and or lrl. What are we doing with these? What are we doing with these things? Are we getting anything actually new here? Or are we just setting them up in the story? It feels like if we were going to do anything where we set two armies up in the story and just had like Some new rules or a new sub-factiony thing or something like that. This would be the one to do it with these two Yeah, but being in gi ron like I could imagine another Anomaly temple being introduced, right? Okay, like Um, not that we need five more units and another sub-faction, right? For little lumeneth, but I could imagine it okay I don't know that they're gonna like it feels to me like if in both of those cases The ranges are really big They've had decent enough action over the course of aos Right and uh And so if they were going to uh Go for those things It could be just like it could be a single new hero for each And we call it a day But they've had so many heroes both of them so many foot heroes. It's almost hard to imagine The space that they would take there right um So It's it honestly both those ranges make complete sense to me to like show up in the book But they but I cannot trace the models that they would have almost at all How about a new daemonette model? Okay, like re refresh the baseline daemonette. I mean Let me tell you why you might be right I have a thought Okay, because polgrim coming Uh, no, no, not not that not that Um, by the way, just real quick here stigmas maxima said they do seem to be really leaning into ogreides these days So part of me wonders if we'll get an ogreid thomat thomaturgical unit um I thought about that for like minotaurs or ogreids with your beasts and zinch like having zannogars zannogars Like we've got the way we've got slan gore. We could get like the The zannogars or or or the bigger You know what I mean? You get it, right? You got what I'm saying? Yep. Yep. Minotaur zinch put the two together birdguide minotaur's at any rate. I could see that as being the other unit. Okay Let me tell you why I think you might not be crazy On the daemonette thing We got that It's not it hasn't come out yet, but it's it's like that it's coming. They announced it. Remember we reviewed it came out They announced it at nova, right that slanesh Uh thing it's like a underworlds warband, right Yep, and it has the the three slanesh models in it are New day are daemonettes But they're three very different daemonettes than anything that's out there in the current daemonettes, right like they're wild To the point where it feels like those three Could have been test sculpts or early sculpts for a refreshed daemonette unit that they were like Well, hey, we've got these three. These are like the best three of the lot Right, let's not waste this. Let's do something with these Okay And so they were like, yeah, let's just pack them up and call call three daemonettes an underworlds warband What can you do with like they they just you know, they they make these models and they're like, what can we do with these? And the underworlds guys are like, well, sure. We'll we'll take them. We'll do something. We'll figure it out right So that's what makes me think you may be on to something there Because maybe those are just the test run for that And what we actually get is a new daemonette unit that has lots of mixed body types and Different sort of bondage gear like they're all wearing and so on and so forth, right? I can see that So Okay cool That leaves one more in book four for new models tom. All right Okay doc I think this is actually an army where you get a lot of space. This is not a it's not a huge army No So Because we've gotten so much kind of snake blood. Do you think we'll go back to witches? We could go back. Well, we did get the the new high gladiatrix at some point, right? So that was a new foot hero on the on the the witch sister of slaughter paradigm, right? You've got three frames I love that right in the in the doc army for the most part You've got the witch frame You've got the snake frame the medusa frame, right? And then the canary frame Right the sort of gargoyle and gargoyle, you know, I mean a winged frame Okay We've got some decent snake action Like we got we have a snake. We have a foot snake castor foot snake melee foot snake shooters foot snake melee, right? But canary are still a pretty limited part of the overall army, right? They don't have a hero or anything like that that would come from it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm I can see that So something more with like the winged canary or we could shove two of them together What I mean by that is like winged snake ladies like have some canary like an elite canary Uh melusa unit, right? Like you put put some wings on a snake lady that kind of thing Yep I think there's a lot of space you could you could work with there In that arm. I I could see that I could see that that would be compelling. Sure You could um Basically it just becomes like mini murathi 2.0. Yeah, sure. She's a winged snake lady, right? She's a big winged snake lady. Yeah, like little her her little homunculi that she makes she makes some new people specifically in her image right her Her image as it were the shadow queens image I think that'd be sweet as Right some some actual like winged snake troops Yeah That'd be great And then as grumpy said I'd like a monster in dock that isn't a rathi herself. Sure That would be the other option, right? We get an actual monster kid in there of some kind Yeah, I could do that. Um, they might want that to be An army that doesn't really have Big monsters in that way, you know, like they're kind of closest thing is the statues the walking statues But I don't know Okay, cool good stuff There we go, we've got them all what didn't we miss or sorry, what didn't we say? Sorry, but what didn't we miss? What did we miss or what didn't we say? Um, if you're watching this in the future, put it down in the comments. Tell us what you'd like to see for that stuff Okay Let's go on past new models. Let's talk about the story atom. I know you're gonna have just all sorts of ideas here For what to do with the story um But let's make some broad predictions Here we go they Still the nether are upset because they're pushing into qiron and so vengefully pushed back um, the same with oxy I think that uh We'll get some of the dusts up in book three book four for oxy We'll be we'll be marathi trying to expand her hold and threaten the expansion of the dawnbringer crusade I think it's the opposite Or like you're right. Yes. Yes, but for different reasons. I think you're dead on Let me see if I can thread the needle up the heck. I just said to you Marathi wants to expand her territory and her power won't that's her thing Right like always The dawnbringer crusades will probably largely fail All right to the point where The hammer hull itself becomes weekend and under threat All right, they like this is a thing that they'll they'll they'll pull And who swoops in to save why mentioned hark you're on not that far away From hammer hall who swoops in to save the day why good ol marathi's here. Don't worry Don't worry forces of sigmar I'm here to help okay All I request Is some concessions Right and she's not going to get hammer hull like they're not going to get rid of like the flagship city of of the realms, right? Like they're not going to destroy hammer hull auction guy ran But like so she's not taken that over like she did anvil guard but Like I could see them seeding something pretty major to her Right where she swoops in and asks for major concessions to that like she gets some permanent place You know like In the city some hold she has some place she get like some foothold in azir Right in sigmar's realm itself like something like that Right. Yeah, I could see that I think that's what brings her in she she swoops in as a savior at the last moment She's always sitting around there Just waiting for the moment where she can show up and have somebody over one Sure, sure Right Yep Okay I think largely what'll happen with like the silveneth and everything You'll just go back to status quo like don't mess with us. We don't mess with you Um, I think that down our trees What's that? Why are you cutting down our trees? Right. Yeah, exactly I think the I think mostly that as I said, I think the dawn bringer crusades will will end in failure And just be like crazy hubris. I think that at the base of this and somewhere uh The We're gonna get what what's actually going on with zinge in all this I think that's where he shows up in book four Because again, what's going to happen after the the crusade sort of collapse In book one, they talk about it's this this weird stuff hinted around zinches meddling and all that. He's another one of those like um He's another one of those like uh Sir not appearing in this story, but he's still influencing it, right? And quiz it or said they'll never destroy katia. Yeah, sure. I understand People still talk about katia all the freaking time even though they blew up the stupid planet So, you know, it's fine. Um Like katia has been around for a long long long time hammer hull has been around for you know, whatever six years I don't think they're gonna they already they felt one city I just don't think they're gonna go back to the well at the end of two editions of having a city of sigmar fall Is my point. We already did that last edition. They need a new trick so in book one when they talk about like The way some of the fires were burning in oxhi to handle the plague One of the like inquisitors becomes suspicious because the fires are burning in some kind of Very unusual pattern that he like cottons to Right. Yeah, and thinks like basically zinches hand. Is it work here like setting up some some chicanery Yeah I think that zinches gonna keep screwing around in the background of like every book until he eventually reveals what his His silly master plan is in book four right And and and then like that's when he plays his hand. I mean, it'll fail like always Because zinches plans are always just like long build-ups for that end in disaster It's basically his story as a chaos god, right But that's what they'll do with him Okay, that's my feeling What else do we who else do we have to? Uh What else do we have to touch on there? What do you think you mentioned seraphon? What do you think's gonna happen with seraphon? Like what's your what's your what's your story play without seraphon get involved here? Is it just big stompy monsters come and get involved or is there something greater going on? No, I think it'll be pretty grand list. I think that their involvement is big stompy monsters. Okay Like they're not this isn't like croaks move the great wheel or the great design or anything, right? No Okay I think it's probably the same for ogres like ogres. Just you know, they're there It would be interesting It would be really interesting If we got mercenary type ogres and they ended up having more of a place In the civilized world in some fashion It'd be neat if we added like a second dimension to any destruction force That wasn't just like the probably destruction force. They're all so mono dimensional. They're just completely uninteresting narratively um I agree with that. I I don't know that the dawn bringer crusades are going to end in a failure. Okay um I think what we'll actually see is They're they're seemingly Successful And I think that that's where the zingy trick Is like alluded to Like I think we'll end with success, but we'll end on a cliffhanger That'll point to like not all is right Like I think the the success of the cities is going to be a set up. Okay Okay Inviting them the sigmar and company to into overextending Um and saying like this has been successful. So let you know like look look you were successful in Establishing these new cities and Giron and all that. Why don't you go to another plane? Right? Like yeah, sure type of thing where like we've we've successfully Uh solidified this very ashy pit in oxhi. Sure that that happens to lead to um to ulgu Or something along those lines and they're like, yeah, let's do it and so they go and Go to do their setup and I think that's what brings them in conflict with the scaven Interesting, okay Um because where I think we will end fourth edition Yep, well, that's next that's the next slide, but sure set us up set us up Like I think This like so I think scaven obviously I think scaven are gonna be the back end Um, we'll get like a necron full line rip right like the whole deal right like we're gonna see everything. Yep And I think that they're gonna go all in and I think where we'll end is we will Um, I think that The beginning of the edition will will herald Um scaven getting in the mix in a major way And I think the narrative like hook at the end Like again, so now I'm like what four years in the future. Um, I think we're gonna move towards the breach of stigma Interesting I think because I think scaven are the ones that do that Okay, and um, and so what I think will happen is that they will leave the breach of sigmar on Like the sigmar into asia into space station sigmar. Yeah into space station sigmar and that may be the narrative campaign Um, and then that then is what brings about the freeing of slanash And what I mean by that is that because they threaten home base All guns get focused in Yep And leaves slanash undefended Okay, like tirion's forces are alone and then he ends up not being enough because you know Our he on shows up or whatever whatever and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah right and because we're an old goo Malarian has been introduced but hasn't maybe even able to like You know like he has been pulled into this conflict, right? And so that's what gets malarian tied up to not be able to lend a dive Gotcha Okay And then the end at the end of the season four with the freeing of slanash That's sort of that that's sort of the culmination to the end of four into five I think so like I do something and not hold all the elves into the narrative Okay And yes travis there are there are some skaven in azir They can occasionally work their way in but for the most part the way is shut Like they can't a few skaven can pop through here and there like they've talked about that in the stories But it's the difference between a few rats here and they're getting in spying and an army at your gates attacking the space station Right like azir is more than a few rats here and there Or an army opening your gates. Yeah, exactly Okay, that's good. I like that. I like that idea like the idea that the that some of the Uh, that the dawn bringer actually succeed succeed, but they succeed kind of spite at themselves and maybe because of like other Things like oh zinch wanted this thing to succeed and wanted this to happen It's all part of his wacky plans, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good call. That's a good call. That's interesting I like that take I like that take because we know that zinch is deeply embedded in the cities Yeah, exactly like that was a big part of zinches reemerge right like yes, correct I mean he basically built gray water fastness because one of his like one of his super top Sorcerers was the one who like helped them do all of the the incredible building at such a rapid speed. Yes Like not they didn't know that they didn't know he was as each guy, but yes Excelsior's as well, right? Yeah, and so I think that that's the key was zinch is that I think Like yes, the dawn bringer for say is successful all according to Right. Sure. No, that's a good call Yeah And so then like it truly becomes the dawn bringer crusade As this celebration, but it's not something to actually be celebrated is it will actually end up leading to threatening the whole king I like that. That's fun. I think that's a nice setup. Tom. I think you might be on to something there for real I think yeah, I think that feels really good Right where like they succeed the they succeed because Almost chaos ends up helping to some degree and I still like my Marathi saves them idea, right? But she's again just ends up being a pawn in this larger scheme, right? Well, and that's in that again plays into Like that complies into zinches like if you know, if then Marathi gets more involved in these particular realms Her attention is drawn away from this Lanesh prison and then we can flip into fourth into really paying And we jump over to Ulgu where then we can draw All of these different elves away and into other shenanigans and then yes, boom then so that's just for you Well, and not only that if you'll remember Solan ash is trapped between light and dark Yeah, you already had the light introduced Yep, and so like this is the like this is the other half of that Yin Yang situation. Yeah, he's in like the umbrella or whatever between and direct The direct point between right, but that's the point right like that's like we've already had introduced light This is the perfect opportunity to actually like Be in shadow. Yep Play with the scale and stuff and then have that launch into that here All right. Nice. Nice. I dig that I dig that Uh, okay, cool. I think that's uh Yeah, there you go Kyle Nelson says the Kansas City shuffle whenever one looks left you go right and freeze lanesh. Yeah, that's pretty good It's pretty good. So that kind of brings us into the final thing Which is just to close out on here, which is like, what do we think out of this will be the setup? for fourth edition, right And to me Yes, I think like your setup for fourth is I want the launch box to be cities part two and scaven, but it'll probably be stormcast and scaven I think it'll be a combination of cities and uh stormcast Stormcast, okay, it'll be stormcast unit with cities one to part two. Okay And like is the setup that that azir gets breached in a bigger way Is that the setup for the the actual box set? No, I think that I think that like what what is the excuse to have these two forces meeting directly? They were so successful in the dawn render crusade that Something happens that they have it looks like they have an Ready to expand farther into old Okay, got it. So because it does Yeah, so we've got the stormcast basically plonking down hard into ulgu And then when they're they meet All of the ash and rats that are redesigned because that's what's in the sort of launch box, right? And then everything else is close to the launch box. They overextend They overextend into ulgu Of like we've been so successful. Look. Oh, let's just go also like jump on the other side of this Drop down the city and and like establish a beach had an ulgu And zinge is like, yeah, you should do that and then they do that Find themselves infested with rats. Yep Okay, which then invokes the larger verminus horde. Yep Okay, and then that starts this like back and forth thing Uh, and then I think like I think at some point narratively like it will Anate in sigmarone being threatened or breach. I think that's book one by the way of Of the next narrative art. Oh at the end of it like somewhere in fourth That's the setup like azure Space station sigmar gets breached. That's the like gets breached. That's and then that pulls forces back and so Course of secondation. We're playing the shadow games with spies and infiltrations and malaria and coming out and like Moving all these pieces on the board, right for then ultimately This thing to happen Right and then everybody rushes to sigmarone and all that and then and then like we started in in We started in olbu and we end in olbu because then they use that to slip in To slanash's president. Okay I gotta say tom that's compelling It's a compelling arc I like I don't know if that's what it'll be but man. You've sold me that that's what it should be Like that's pretty strong pretty strong Um Okay Yeah Good good. I like that setup. I think that's good. I think ultimately Then where we'll be when we're looking into fourth edition is my biggest problem is going to be still the same thing We'll be back on the cycle again Right, like we'll actually have all the armies in a relatively good place with lots of support and lots of interesting things and then it's going to be time to start the The battle tome treadmill all over again, right? That's the worst part about this and whatever changes come about from the new edition Yeah, sure Sure, and we did a whole show on that some time ago of like what rule of change do you want to see there? All right, good. I don't know man. I think that's that's pretty solid. I feel like that's uh, that's a nice setup All right, very good. Did we miss anything any final thoughts tom? You want to share with everybody On any other any other sideways predictions anything else we didn't mention that you think is worth mentioning What about you chat? What didn't we mention that you think is going to be happening in The culmination of dawn bringers in book three or four what other Beats or things or setups or items haven't we talked about either say it You know post it now or drop it down in the comments if you're if you're watching this later What do you think tom any any other small stuff? um I I mean the other thing I would say is that if we're if we're already been now talking about fourth edition I would love to see them drop a narrative like season of war style book mid season Okay, like we got season of war thondia, but but You know We get something like that. Oh ghouish, right? um, and that sets the stage for the conflicts and the The kind of the the movement that's happening, right? Yeah And I think that's where malaria would jump in and then you fast forward then another year down the road And then that's when you start your off your march towards Okay, quality Yeah, I do hope they do at some point. I hope they figure out What the heck is this supposed to like how is the narrative arc of the the addition supposed to play out? It's so loosey goosey right now and what's going on like we've got Whatever's happening over with war cry at any given point in time right now. We're raiding a crashed spaceship or whatever right anger, right? We've got whatever's happening with underworlds Right and that's its own little part of the world in old group being explored, right? Yeah And then Then we have theoretically whatever the main thrust of the story is on the plane we're on Right that we're focusing in on in the realm we're focusing in on and I just wish they would figure out kind of the narrative book arc a little cleaner Or whatever To like actually ground us in the overarching story of what's happening Uh Mason said will we get another incarnate? What do you think tom does will fourth edition bring us another incarnate? Yeah, an incarnate of shadow Okay, okay I don't want there to be another one, but I think we probably will get another one And I guess fine we could get 10 more incarnates. They just need to be narrative only like Make them a narrative thing and that's fine And don't put them in a $200 box of terrain like just They're we could just learn from our mistakes. Don't make them overpowered nonsense that shows up in like everybody's list and make them narrative only things Check out And or if you're gonna if you feel like you're gonna use them Please put their rules in some way. Don't make a whole new set of rules up for them Just like make them work with the normal rules of the game in fourth edition Not all only a set of whack-a-but whack-a-do rules that are completely separate Okay, cool. Good. All right. Awesome. Well, hey for all of you out there. Thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed our little tinfoil hat edition.

Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pankaw. The Navy recently released a new Navadmin for Tuition Assistance, or TA, for Fiscal Year 15. The Navadmin includes several changes to the TA rules. Effective immediately, commanding officers may waive the requirement that sailors must be aboard their first duty station for one year before applying for TA. The Navy's reimbursement policy for TA will be more closely aligned with the Department of Defense. Now, only tuition directly related to the course of instruction and not including fees will be paid with TA funds. Fees no longer covered by TA include equipment, books, materials, exams, admissions, registration, fines and costs associated with distance learning. This policy is effective for all courses with start dates after October 1, 2014. To find out more about the new TA Navadmin, visit the Navy's personnel commands website.

Science and faith have been on opposite sides of the boxing ring for the past century. A happy holidays? Unacceptable! Religion has become one of those things that people don't like talking over the dinner table. To add fuel to the fire, some recent studies suggest a negative correlation between religiosity and general intelligence. Unacceptable! Calm down. It's much more complicated than that. So what's the psychology behind this? Why don't we take a look? Let's jump in. A study in 2011 used surveys to test the correlation between a person's religiosity and their general intelligence. The surveys included items like, I look to God for strength, support and guidance. And the individual being tested would rate this statement on a four-point scale. In addition, participants were also measured on their general intelligence through tests including verbal fluency and speed of cognitive processing. Using a sample size of over 2,000 Americans, the study found a negative correlation between religiosity and general intelligence, meaning that the more religious a person was, the less likely they were to be generally intelligent. What? Unacceptable! Hold on, angry YouTube commenter. There's more to come. Many studies have explored this correlation before. A study in 2009 linked general intelligence with atheism. And another in 1997 found that scientists were much more likely to be atheists than a member of the general population. However, correlation does not mean causation. Just because two things are linked doesn't mean they cause each other. There could be many other explanations. Here are just some. There may really be something about religion and rationality that contradicts each other in the mind. They may be dependent on a set of similar traits, making it so the expression negates each other. But that's still unacceptable? Well, there are strong alternatives too. Take the correlation between hockey lovers and beer drinkers. Although there isn't a lot of science behind this relationship, many would agree that hockey and beer are positively correlated. However, watching hockey has nothing to do with taste preferences and it's highly unlikely that enjoying the sport causes one to enjoy beer as well. More likely, it's the culture of hockey and the culture of beer drinking that influences the individual. This may also apply to faith and rationality. And finally, let's take into account the geographical biases. It's important to note that these studies mostly include samples within northern America, a geographical space that has become increasingly secular. Therefore, these correlations may be a statement about the way religion is perceived in America, rather than its actual correlation with general intelligence. Maybe in America, being smarter than identity just doesn't bode well with having faith. This may not be true for the rest of the world. I mean, people in other places don't get angry over coffee cups, right? Uh, yeah, I guess. So what do you think? Are there any other explanations for these scientific findings?

Welcome to Tuesday Tea. If you've been with us through the month of November, we've been talking with really super smart people about personal branding and how they're embracing their authenticity. And we are wrapping up today's tea joined by someone I feel always shows up authentically. And so we're gonna talk about that today. Everyone, I want you to welcome Carly Cunningham. Hello, Carly. Hello, I'm so excited to be here and in the category of really smart people. Thank you for that honor. Oh, no problem. Well, and we were gonna have this conversation back in September. And in all honesty and authenticity, my stuff kind of got derailed and so now it's been bumped to this. So I've been waiting to talk to you for I feel like for like three months. So I appreciate you hanging in with me. So friends, folks, I wanna introduce Carly. I've known Carly for a while, mostly online. So let me introduce Carly to you. She is a brand strategist that takes businesses from overcrowded competitive spaces out into the blue ocean territory where can they can confidently step out and thrive. She has an international client base that benefits from accelerated growth, increase from profit and stability using Carly's tools and strategies. Having built three successful businesses herself, Carly knows what it takes to start, develop and lead a company that delivers results. She's a sought after mentor and speaker and host of the podcast, The Made Possible Podcast. And when not focusing on a business or expanding her network, she can be found challenging herself on the single track trails of the Pacific Northwest either on her bike or running. Carly, what a great bio. And I have so many questions about it but I'm gonna turn it over to you because I want you to just share a little bit about yourself and a little bit about your passions around branding to our audience. Ooh, good questions. Well, a little bit about self is my, how this is going to parallel today and one thing that I kind of hope to unpack is that the process that I built for businesses actually came of my own personal brand development journey and essentially pulling it apart. If you ask me what I sell, I kind of smirk and I say, I sell clarity. And so it's clarity of who a business is and how they operate and how they show up. And as much as we talk about brand and as much as people think that brand belongs in the marketing house, so to speak, if you think about the departments of a company and you've got leadership and strategy at the center is when I was doing my own work, I realized that it comes from the center and it comes from the heart. Well, the heart of any business is the strategy and the heart of the business is the people and the people leading the business. And what I started to discover as I started to play with it years ago is that if you take these, this thing we call brand and you move it into the leadership house and the owner, the leaders really connect with it on a heart, not only a thought-based, like this is, yes, this is who we want to be. We need to, we have business objectives. They need to be fulfilled. These are our clients. But most small and medium-sized businesses, the owners are involved and they just didn't want it to be a job. So I'm kind of coming around to say when we can get them clear on who they are, what they do, the value they deliver, then they can lead the business forward in a more authentic way. And so brand, in my opinion, doesn't belong in marketing to kind of wrap back where I was going with that. Brand belongs in the leadership house. Brand believes it should live in each of the leaders of each department. So if you're a sales leader in the context of this conversation, if you're a sales manager, brand lives with you. You need to lead by example. And then there's that new, I know we're getting into this later. There's the tension between what is the company or corporate brand and what is my brand? Yeah, and maybe we will dive into that because you're right. I think while a lot of the folks in the hospitality industry, yes, there are those solopreneurs where they are that leader that you're speaking about. But a lot of them work in departments where they have leaders that may not have any desire to create a personal brand, but we have this on the ground, boots on the ground people who are curious about personal branding. They also have this big corporate umbrella that they work and operate under and they wanna come off authentically, which is why you're the perfect person to speak to this because there's kind of a clash between do I even create a brand because there's this corporate umbrella? And now, as you mentioned, there might even be a clash with their leader if they haven't been taught from Carly to say that branding lives with the leadership of each individual department. So how was that for a massive giant tennis ball that I'm gonna lie with you? Because we do, we need to unpack this to create what you say, create clarity for people who are trying to create their brands. Yeah, can I jump on one thing? So it's interesting, you say it seems like there's a choice of do I develop a personal brand or do I not develop a personal brand? I'm gonna lobby it back this way and say the only choice is whether I choose to control my brand or the world. So we all have a personal brand, right? Whether you do it intentionally or unintentionally or organically is another way to think about it, whether it just, some company brands are built from the leadership brand just because they're so steeped in their own mindset, methodology, beliefs and truths that it just permeates the company, which can go either way. But so it's a matter of, in my opinion, is there's a risk in choosing not to pay attention to how you show up in the world. It's so true. I like explaining it that personal brand is when we just take control of the messaging. The messaging is already there in our daily actions and how we show up both on and offline, but it's how we control that message that really dictates how people perceive our personal brand. So yes, you and I are very aligned in that respect. So okay, so let's rephrase the question. How does one create a brand that's true to themselves when they have to follow some of the marketing guidelines as set out by their corporation? Whoa, we just opened the can of worms. You ready? Okay, so let's divide that into two parts. Okay, so how does someone go about building their own personal brand? Okay. Because there is a risk of reward and happiness and return for everybody. If your brand and their brand, AKA the corporate brand in your brand, or is it doing this or are they both doing this, right? Right, okay, okay. And do they align, does it resonate with you? I mean, think about the last time you were in either could it be a sales conversation with someone you didn't jive with? Yeah. And it just, something feels off. Something feels wrong. It's just like that rub against the grain. The question you ask yourself is, do I even wanna work with this person? Now, fair, a lot of people here are striving to achieve sales goals, but beyond that piece of the conversations, is the company you're working for aligned with you and are you aligned with them? And so you and I were talking in the green room about values. So one of the keys to understanding your personal brand is understanding your personal values. Who am I? What is important to me? What are my deal breakers? Yes, oh, I love that one. What are my non-negotiables, right? Deal breakers, think about a relationship. You are in relationship with your manager. You are in relationship with your director. You are in relationship with the organization. What are your deal breakers? Yeah, yeah, I love that word. And values are tricky. There's lots of great exercises out there for how to figure them out. But if I recommend any work on your personal brand, understanding your values, because think about it in interviews all the time. Somebody says, well, what are your values? Or they'll say, so did you read our corporate values? Like, what do you think of them? Now, if the company's done that, I'm gonna pick on the companies for a minute here. I'm gonna get into, we always care that integrity, trust, and authenticity are our values. No, stop. I'm gonna be a bit of a jerk. That just tells me that the organization hasn't done deep enough work to understand who they are. Because who would work with someone who doesn't have integrity, who you don't trust, who doesn't show up authentically? Those three things are outputs of you or the organization living the values. One client, am I allowed to use four-letter words? Sure. I kid you not, one of our clients, one of their values, their top value, was get shit done. I mean, pretty cut and dry. That sets the tone for who this company is, right? And I was like, hey, are you sure you want it? And they were like, yes, get shit done. Okay, well, if they're not getting it done, they're not living in alignment with their values. And if you walked into a job interview and they said, our number one value is getting done, you're gonna either be like, yeah, I'm in. This is a motivated, or she'll be like, whoa. Yeah. Right? And that's what I'm talking about alignment. That's what I'm talking about rubbing against the grain. So when you have a deep understanding of your own personal values, then you can compare and contrast or see if they come together. Yeah, yes. Well, and that's a culture conversation too, right? Well, and one of the things that I've encouraged clients to do is to look at the values of the corporation that they work with. And if they're in alignment, fantastic. But then also compounding on that value as part of your personal brand can be super powerful, especially if you're in a sales role and you're trying to attract leads. And so now you are emulating that value as is your corporation. But when you're emulating something that the corporation is not aligned with, then you're right. Then there's a disconnect and your clients are wondering, who's really authentic here? And I've also heard this said about values. It's funny that we're talking about values because I was on a panel last night, just last night talking about values. And we were talking about the definition of values. And as you gave the example, if your client get done, does that mean everyone's expected to work 16 hour days? Or does that mean we have a project and we're very conscious of how long a project will take and we are very intentional with our time? So even the definition of get done and the definition of integrity and the definition of authenticity, those corporations need to dive deep and figure out, well, how does that manifest in our corporate branding and then how would that manifest as a personal brand as well? So I love that we're talking about values. Well, in one of the levels of that, even for everyone on the call, when you're defining your values, define what that means to you. And that's why in our method, what I did was I moved away from one word values and we take buckets of values, like words they feel like they fit together. So if nothing else, you go and you go, okay, look at a values sheet, highlight the ones that mean something to you. Pick the top 15 to 20 and then put them all on a board and then start to group them and then say to yourself, what's the story this is telling? What is this telling me or what am I trying to convey here that's important to me that is something that I value that is something that I, the way that I show up, learning and growth and expansion is often when it comes up. And so how we do it is we write it, not as a value, but as a guiding principle that starts with a verb. So always be learning and sharing is one of ours. And then we define it underneath and get more specific about this is for the rest of our team, this is the behavior we expect you to live. And if there's a little story, a one-line story about it because it becomes so clear. And then I always say to our business owners, and that, okay, so for the context of this conversation, imagine if your director or the president came into your annual meeting and said, here's our refined set of values and there's three to four of them. I'm trying to think who's model is it? Patrick Lancioni says don't have more than three or four. I think he says three. Okay. Because people don't remember. So great. You don't have three very tightly described guiding principles and it tells you exactly how to make your decisions. You can go out into the world, assuming that everybody's living them and they're true, you can go out into the world and you can make decisions based on the company, on behalf of the company and trust that you're in alignment and that you can come back and say, well, I made this decision about not taking this client because these are our top three values. This is how we want to show up and we protect the environment and they're off digging wells and digging oil, right? Yeah. Yeah. So the more empowering they are and the clearer they are, the more they provide that direction. So on the personal side, get really clear about what that means for you. Don't just pick a word, integrity, whoa. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. How does that manifest into action? You know, it's funny. So when you do this with corporations and I know we're going off script here a little bit, but and then you perhaps do those interviews with employees, do the employees actually know what their values, their corporate corporations values are? Whereas a lot of the education piece with the leaders to go, okay, now that you've set your values, can you please tell other people about them? Because I couldn't tell you what my corporations values are. Number one, I haven't asked, but number two, maybe there needs to be a more intentional effort of sharing that. Absolutely, you're bang on. And that is the biggest place that I say brands fall down is how many tens of gazillions of thousands of dollars are spent every year in an annual, whether it be the strategic planning, whether it be the brand development exercise, whether it be HR, developing culture, do we go through values exercises? I'm right them all down, yay, we're clear, awesome. Go team, maybe, maybe stick them on the wall. Great, everybody just, you know, mourning. Oh yeah, oh yeah, the values are there, right? Right? But they don't, what we say, call integrate them and activate them. So integrating them is putting them on your website, putting them in your wiki, putting them in your employee manual. For the managers, for the directors on this call, if you believe, and you believe that they're clear or you wanna make them clear, maybe take them down from corporate and start talking about them with your team. How are we gonna integrate these into the work we do? How are we going to activate them? Easiest way to activate on my tele-leadership team is tell people they're gonna be held accountable to these behaviors, to these guiding principles. There's only three of them, shouldn't be too much, and you're gonna be evaluated in your quarterly annual, what it however often you get reviewed, we're gonna be evaluating, are you living them? Yes. Right, because when you live them, then your team members live them, and then your employees pick them up and go, wow, that's really authentic, they're really aligned with each other. Shocking, right? As opposed to, oh, look, they're there on the wall. What does that mean? Oh, look, integrity is written on the wall. Well, and there you just defined authenticity with that example, right? Like, that's what living authentically, you're living your brand authentically really means. And I know you do such an incredible job of that in your personal brand, and I'm sure in your corporate brand as well. So what are some tips for people who are trying to figure out, well, okay, now I've got my values, and they look really pretty on the wall, how do I authentically live, authentically project my brand with your values? Yeah, so one of the things we tell our clients in our surefire method of what we call the surefire strategy is when we build a brand, we create the tools that effectively align everyone and everything in the organization. So if you're doing that for self, here's the key question in that whole equation is, when you're making a decision, now it could be a hiring decision for your department, it could be a personal decision, do I, if I have to juggle these two clients today, how am I going to go about doing that? Or which one do I meet with? Go to your guiding principles and help them use them as tools to help you make the decision. And ask yourself, if I make this decision, am I living in alignment with and demonstrating or living my guiding principles? Easy, easy, and it's just, you can make a habit of that. You know, that is, that's gold for me, cause one of the, wow, it's like you are literally looking at my business plan, Carly, cause one of my goals for 2022 is to ensure I only work with people that are in alignment with my values. So that when I have to make those decisions, I know who it is that I can work. My requests come in, that's perfect. That's, yay, I'm on the way to track. Action item, action item. Yes, I love it, I love it. So, so Carly, can we go a little bit back to how you and I kind of came together, again, this is a few months ago, you were posting some content on LinkedIn that was very real and very raw for you. Are you in a position to kind of share your story a little bit about your own brand and how you came into your own authenticity? Yeah, absolutely, I was just, it's funny, it is getting hot in here, but as you were answering the question, I was like, well, it's kind of appropriate, now you're putting me in the wrong place. But so, yeah, so where my work and deep learning started with effectively what has become my business and the core and heart of my business was my own authenticity crisis, my own early midlife crisis meltdown. And yeah, so we need to have one of those soon, but keep going. So imagine this, I have just hired a business coach who was actually more of a, he became much more of a well-rounded life coach and I'd hired him because things just weren't lining up in my life. And for all intensive purposes, I'm gonna set the stage. So for anybody who is in the lower mainland, I'm sure you may have heard of the Terminal City Club, high-end business club akin to a country club without the golf course, we're sitting in the middle of one of the dining rooms for my first session with my coach, his name was Ray. And he just simply said, how can I help you? And so I started to go, hmm, okay. And I said, well, I said, here's the deal. I said, I think I was 34 at the time. I said, I'm 34 years old. I said, if you look at my life from the outside, I own property and I moved out here by myself as solo, my family's on the other side of the country. I own property in Vancouver. I have very little debt. I have a company that's growing exponentially. I'm a dating a pilot. I can fly anywhere in the world at any time that I want. Life looked grand from the outside for me. And I looked at him and I said, I am absolutely miserable. And in like Q Waterworks, it was not only, am I realizing that's why I've hired him? Like I knew on the surface level, but like, and Ray just has this way of like, tell me you're most inner, like he just came wide open, right? So here's me, snotty, teary mess in the middle of the terminal city club in front of this gentleman who I have, you know, I've followed and mentored, respected for many years. So yeah, that happens. So what that triggered was, I think probably a year to 16 months worth of exploring and essentially unpacking myself. And I had up until that point been very good in my life events and who I am at the core had done very well to set me up for this because I had learned to live as a chameleon. So when I was young, I was a figure skater. I was skating for one of the top clubs in the world and I was being groomed to be one of the next top world pairs figure skaters. And so, you know, you step on the ice, it doesn't matter that you and your pairs partner got in a fight five minutes before stepping on the ice. You know, it doesn't matter that, you know grandma's in the hospital, it doesn't matter. None of them matters. You step on the ice and you're there, right? So teaching you that in a way, your emotions come second because you are a competitor. You are a representative of this club. You have goals and dreams like you step up, you know, the skate comes undone in the middle of the ice, treat like nothing happened, call the judge's time, you know, tie up your shoe, like don't get mad, don't get flucked, just be like, I'm good. I'm good, right? So that's so, so, you know, really good chameleon lessons number one. Two, I discovered when I was 18 that I was not straight and I lived in a smallish town and this would have been in the 90s where, you know, Ellen hadn't even come out yet. So yeah, like burying who I was, being not wanting people to find out who I was. So I learned how to put on all these masks and all this armor and show up. And then I did the same thing in business when I started my business because I was young and I was in the corporate world. I was, I was in a member of the term, not the Termal Sleep Club, sorry. I can see the name. Anyways, a big business organization and they were all kind of like, oh, aren't you cute? So I had to step up. I had to, I mean, I'm edgy, you can probably tell from the way that I'm talking. I've already sworn on this conversation. I do, as much as I can be conservative, I do come with an edgy and a bit of flair and I've had to temper a lot of that my whole life. I've had to hide who I am. And so I would step into those environments the way they needed to see me for me to do business. So by the time I got to Ray, I didn't know who I was. I was just this person who could fit into anything. I could shape, I'm good at shapeshifting. But that put me so far off my center and so far off my access and so misaligned with my values. Oh, the other piece was the business I was running. My business partner and I were saying the same values words. So you wanna figure out where that started. We were both saying family first and integrity and something. Yet are what we weren't aligned. And there was so much time between us that I was like, do I just kick this business to the curb? So all the things. I can laugh about it now, but then it was messy. So he literally picked me apart piece by piece. And what do I stand for? What do I believe in? What's my purpose to doing this work that I love doing? Why do I do this work? Why do I love this work? What are my values? How do I show up as a person? Like they talked about now we're hearing a lot of it in HR is how do I bring my whole self to work? Yeah. I had to figure out how to bring my whole self to myself. Yes. Start there. Isn't that heartbreaking? Heartbreaking. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if I saw our niece or nephew going through that same thing, I would just be like, oh man. My, again, being a chameleon, I go to resilience. I'm like, okay, we're gonna beat this up. We're gonna get this, right? So I did see some things pop up in the chat. Is there any questions that anybody had or anything? No, not yet. Mostly just, they just love what you're saying. Thank you. Okay, so you and Ray are sitting there. You've gone through the boxes of Kleenex and now he's going to pick apart and whiteboard Carly. So what happens during that process? What happened? Well, the funny thing is Carly doesn't do anything in the light version of it. So I had Ray who is very well versed in all these tools, hypnotherapy and timeline regression and values and all the typical corporate, here, find your values, do the survey, figure out, am I an empath? Am I not an empath? All the things. And he's really well rounded, which is super cool because he comes across as a corporate guy but he's got some of the softer side emotional intelligence pieces. And then I also started doing a lot of work with a yoga coach. Okay. And so looking into sort of those aspects of my life and I mean, from simply reconnecting to my body and I was doing alignments of the chakra. And so it just cracked everything away. It was just like, I just took Carly pin yotted myself and just laid it all on the table and went, all right, let's just see what's working. Let's see what's not working. Oh, so I love that analogy. I'm told, I can see it. I can literally see Carly all over the table. Like that is a little messy, it's a little messy. But no, but what a great analogy that you stepped outside of yourself and looked at all of the bits and pieces. And then, okay, so now you've got this pinata and you've got all the Post-it notes. Now what do you do? Well, and that's ultimately as I was doing this work rebuilding my own personal brand, I was building, funny enough, the first iteration of the company of Big Bolt brand was working with people to build their own personal brands. And so the tools and that, the tools that I build in the Surefire toolkit, those 11 tools, and I can share those with you, is not different from a personal brand. Here's why. Companies are made up of people. Yeah, yeah. They are. They are. They are. And whether it's your departmental team and you need to come together around a shared and common set of values or guiding principles, whether you need to come together around a, your own brand promise to your clients, because sometimes we can do the Russian doll inside the bigger corporate doll because of the people. There's a certain way that we all are that's different from the sales team in Houston or different from the sales team in the UK, right? And that's okay, as long as they don't start to be the magnets that repel, okay? So you asked me, now what? Pignon on the floor. Tools, things to develop, things to get clear on. Yeah. What's my purpose? What is my purpose beyond making money for myself and this organization? Simon Sinek said it best, people don't care, don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it, right? Yes, interesting. Yes, love it. You will also pull that mission that works too. Purpose mission interchange will perfectly find whichever one resonates with you. Guiding principles, we've hammered that one, probably almost to death today, but that's the next one. On top of that, and I'm visual, so I'm going to the list in my head, then we go to three to five year vision. So for me, personal, where do I want to be in three to five years? We talk about the moonshine, we talk about the Big Harry Audacious goal. Those are great for big showy like, hey, I'm on stage, but ultimately where do I need to go? And here's an interesting thing about the vision. Neuroscience tells us the brain can't attach meaning and knowing an emotion to something that's further than three to five years out. So that 10 year vision, it's inspiring, but it'll get here. Oh, damn, it's year seven. I haven't done anything, right? So short in the timeline. And then persona, how do I want to show up? And persona can be like, hey, what do I like wearing? It's funny. So I was prepping for this. I was looking at my closet going, one, what do I feel like to like, what's my jam today? And how am I gonna show up authentically? Right? And so, but it's also finding that thing that's comfortable for you, but also maybe inspires you to stretch a little bit. So how do I want to show up? You know, mine is definitely rigorous, conservative, yet edgy as I'll get out. Like I'm punchy, right? So that's kind of what I'm- I'm unapologetic about that. And that's what I love about you is, you call it edginess, but you're unapologetic about it, which a lot of people I think would try and dial down their edginess to fit into that mold. And I know we're going back in time on this conversation, but you did that at one point in your life. I dialed it down. And that's why it was so miserable. Cause I was like, I can't be myself. Like I'm, you know, on top of the layer of being queer, I was like, I'm still to this day, I will scan a room and go, is it safe for me to say I have a wife before it comes out of my mouth? Wow. Right? So, oh yeah, dialing things down, I had mastered to an art, but it was just progressively like, again, pushing me down and making me miserable. So from there, where do we go? Then we go into target audiences. Who are my ideal? And I know that's hard in this context because not everybody has a choice of who they work with, but here's a cool thing. If you haven't noticed or go back and look at your past clients who've referred to other good clients, like attracts like. Yes. And the better you get at choosing like, the more likes gonna get sent your way. So getting really clear on who are our, as the organization, ideal clients, looking at their mindset, like how do they show up? What do they want from us? What do they need from us? What are they willing to spend on? Are they flexible at the end of like, how do those people show up? And then from there, what's next? I don't know if it's in differentiators. So in the context of the individual, if you were thinking of your resume or being in an interview or even with a client says, well, why should I choose you over the competition? Like what's different and special about you? That's a nuanced start, but think about, well, in my body of work, nobody else brings veterinary experience to this or nobody else brings X experience. Like what are those things that really make you unique and start to bring those together? There's never just one thing, right? And it's not like I'm gonna save you time making more money or do it easier. Everybody else is gonna catch up on that event, right? They're saying the same thing, yeah. But if you're really good at technology, how are you bringing that and offering that to your clients and the organization? We take that from the benefits and differentiators, we find the top of the cream of the crop on that and then we build a value proposition statement. I am the only person in this organization, I am the only person in this field who can bring these three valuable things together. And they need to be valuable to not only you, but to your organization and or to the people you sell to. Then we get into the layer of brand promise. What is the promise of experience? So no matter how, no matter how Carly shows up, she's gonna be unapologetic, right? If I promise that and I do that, that's the experience you're gonna get with me. That could be one of unapologetic advice, sure. And then I'll also come back and help guide you through because one of the essences of our values is caring. And then brand story, what's my story? That in the context of the brand story is not something we use personally often, but you can use it to create an emotional connection with your audience. That's really what it takes that push pull of, well, how much do you all connect with my story of melting down in the middle of the terminal city club? I can laugh at it now, but you felt that, right? So what are the stories about ourselves that we can share that, yeah, they might be a little vulnerable, but don't you like people who are vulnerable? Don't they seem more authentic? Well, what you do with those stories, Carly, and this is, I guess, where I really leaned into you a few months ago is you created a safe space for others who may be in that position, right? And so when you shared, and I'll be honest, I can't even remember what it was that you shared, but I remember feeling like, okay, Carly's now given me permission to feel the same way. And I think when people are authentically showing up and they share those vulnerable stories, they're doing the exact same thing. They are giving permission and providing a safe space for other people who might be where you were back when you met Ray, where you were hiding who you truly were and you were chameleoning in to your environment instead of being authentic and showing up as Carly. So that's what I love about authentic brands, be it yours or others, is authenticity opens a door for other people to be real and honest and wrong. And human, I'm a surviving and recovering perfectionist. I was trying so hard to hold that up, like what else doing, what other duct tape do I need to put on to hold that up? Yeah. I forget things, I drop things, I break things, I screw things up. I'm human. If you don't want me to be human, don't hire me for this job. That's such a powerful statement, right? And such a powerful word, human. We all need to remember that that's actually what we are first and foremost, aside from being a wife and a mother and an employee and then this and that is that we're just human. I love, love this. So Carly, you also do video, I believe. I think that was one of the content formats where I was really drawn into your story. Do you do video? Do you still do video? Video is the video and interview, like this for me is so real and so comfortable. I want to do more of it. What gets in my way is my perfectionism. That's so funny. But video, if nothing else, can I write? Yes, am I good at writing? Yes, but it takes me forever and it blows my head up. It is so much easier for me to stand in front of a camera, which for some people is terrifying, but think about it, I was a figure skater when I was five. It's my natural zone. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, and I do have a question about video because I run with things. Well, the thing with video, I find, and I think again, that's where I was kind of pulled into your authenticity is with video, you can convey things more authentically faster. You can build a connection with people. Next to in-person interactions, it is the next closest thing. And you're right. I think you invite community because you are natural on camera and you're right. Maybe not everyone is natural, but you've been practicing for a lot of years and we can all start practicing now and start to get used to being on video because I think video is just so powerful as compared to, like you said, the written word, but you also have a podcast. So tell me a little bit about the podcast. Can I touch on something for video for the group here that I think is great? So yes, I will come back to podcast video. I wish I totally did not save my first ever. I did a course, like a three-day course of how to get more comfortable in front of the camera on this side of the camera, not that side, this side. Because I've been on that side directing photo shoots and things since the start of my career. I was so awkward and uncomfortable. It would be funny for me to watch now and it would be, you know, be one of those, oh, those kind of painful moments, but it just takes time. It's about practice. It's about, you know, whatever sport, whether you do sport, whether you do knitting, whether you do drawing, we all practice. And practice, you know what? Just makes more practice. Let's just get rid of perfection. Practice is mixed, and we get better at it. I wasn't this comfortable in a, you know, essentially riffing interview when I first started doing them, but here's a little bit of bait for you. Imagine how much quicker it would be to be able to use Loom, which is a great platform or some short snippet video platform where you could go, hey, John, it was a great sales conversation today. I felt a great fit and affinity with you. I'm excited to take the next steps. And here's the three steps that we agreed upon. I'm gonna get busy working on the next one and I'll follow up within two days. That is so much quicker than trying to word type, massage memorally it, make sure there's no errors. It's so much quicker. And I will often dialogue or when I'm providing feedback to clients or it's on my team now, I use video. So even starting by using video even within your internal team, that gets you comfortable with, but it's so much faster. And it's, again, that human connection who else in the sales team of who are the other companies that are pitching this client? Who's gonna show up and be like, hey, John, I recorded this video just for you. Well, and that goes back to that unique selling proposition or that differentiator, if you're able to confidently and authentically create a video for that that could set you apart from your competition right there, right? That eliminates everybody else from your comp set. So I love it. I love it. It certainly just means being, having the guts to stand in front of that camera. It doesn't mean you're gonna be completely comfortable. I mean, we have friends who are just awkwardly themselves and they celebrate their awkwardness or their differentness or their quirkiness or their, and if you can be that in front of that camera and that client goes, yeah, I gotta have Jennifer or whomever, right? Exactly. Well, it's that connection that's that in the absence of face to face, it's the next best thing. Okay. Okay, well, that's a good one. That's a great one. It's a good podcast. Thank you. So Made Possible is a collaboration between myself, my company, Big Bull brand and small business, BC, who supports all the small businesses across the province. And it was just, it was kind of timing. It showed up at the right time. Again, I seated, you know, I kind of sold my way into it. I was talking to my now producer partner, Darren Dunne and he was saying, hey, we're thinking of starting a podcast. I'm like, oh really, that's interesting because it was on my bucket list of things to do. And I said, so who's host in the podcast, Darren? He goes, well, we don't know yet. I'm like, I'll do it for you. He's like, really? I'm like, hell yeah. And so we got gifted the space in the chaos of the pandemic. Small Business BC was so amazing at stepping up to do and run so many programs for the small business community that it provided this interesting little pocket for Darren and I to kind of incubate and build what we thought the community needed. And the reason I stepped so again in the talk about authenticity is my purpose because I believe that small businesses are going to be the ones that create the change we need in the world today. My purpose is to fuel their entrepreneurial fire and support their success and hopefully accelerate their success. So the podcast was just a way for me to continue to do that through small business and access that audience. So again, alignment. I was asking myself, does this align with my purpose? Did Darren and I align on a value to small business BC and big bold brands value the line? Do we share a common purpose? And so where can they find the podcast for those that want to find it? It is on all the majors. So Spotify, iClouds, Google Play. So if you just type in the made possible podcast, you can type in big bold brand or small business BC and it'll ping you and take you right there. Okay, I'm gonna update that banner so that, yeah, so the made possible podcast. Carly, I have loved every minute of this. You are a delight. I absolutely adore. I adore your unapologetic self. I think I'm thrilled that we finally got the opportunity to do this and I hope that maybe you'll come back and we can do it some more. Because I feel I have a lot to learn from you. I feel our audience has a lot to learn from you. Friends, if you are watching this on replay and you still have questions for Carly, can you please just keep dropping them into the comments? We do understand that a lot of our viewers do this on replay. So please continue to drop your questions into the comments. Carly and I will make sure that they're addressed and we get you the answers or the resources that you need so that you can step out confidently and authentically into your own brands as well. And if you are a corporation looking for some direction, please go over to bigboldbrand.com. You can find Carly and her team there. They are there to help you get clarity on your vision and your values so that you can make a bigger impact with your employees and your clients. Carly, thank you so much. Is there anything you'd like to share as a wrap-up and any parting words for people? Okay, having come from that place of the messy meltdown, bringing your whole self is hard. And so many layers of the layers of DEI, for marginalized folks, for BIPOC folks, I recognize that that is not easy. I can pass as system straight, but I understand those layers of feeling like we need to bury ourselves. And I think the most important thing that you can do for your own health, if you are in a place where you're able to do it, is to look at, am I working for an organization that I am aligned with who lights me up, who allows me and honors me fulfilling my purpose? Because folks, we're only here once. And I recognize not everybody has a big box to do that within, but if you can begin to ask yourselves those questions and start to move to a more authentic place for yourself, you're gonna be happier. Ultimately, your employer will be happier if they're aligned with you. Your family's gonna be happier. Because the other thing I didn't talk about when I was misaligned in those two places and trying to be all this in business, but really showing up this way, my partner at the time was like, wow, who are you? Like, who are you? And that takes a lot of energy. That takes a lot of energy. So even if you do little bits of the sweet work to honor yourself and show up authentically, I highly encourage you to do that. Okay, you've heard it guys. We gotta show up and honor ourselves authentically. So for those of you looking to build your brands into 2022, take to heart Carly's advice and Carly's secrets that she shared here on the podcast. And come back and visit us. We're going to be doing more tips and tricks and resources for you to help build your personal brands through December and into 2022. Carly, thank you so much. I feel like this is not the end, this is the beginning. You and I are gonna connect on so many levels moving forward. I'm just thrilled that you were able to share a piece of yourself today here on Tuesday Tea. Thank you for making it a safe space. Thank, oh, absolutely, anytime. Everyone have a great week. Tuesday Tea is now on hiatus until February, so come back and check out the show then. But don't forget to circle around with me on Monday mornings for Monday motivation through December. Have a great day everyone, see you soon.

Our first speaker will be Krzysztof Olosinski about bloggery. Please give him a big hand It's my great pleasure to introduce Python bloggery the world's largest Python directory like Yahoo directory or D Ma's bloggery is a tree of Categories with links to useful webpages If you search on Google for Python, you'll find snakes. You'll find Monty Python You'll find things that are out of date. You'll get a list of 15 million results. It's a flat list When you come to bloggery It's all curated by over a hundred volunteers It's structured as a tree. We respect your privacy. You don't track what would you visit? It's structured as a tree. The first thing that everyone needs is a database library So here you can see Python Python database persistent Python 0db 0db videos you can click over to the video you want or if you want to just browse around you can click around the tree in particular, it's amazing how Many more people should know about persistent Python 0db. It's wonderful software. I highly recommend it It's way too much for anyone individual to do such a large project what I do is I don't scrape the web I import structured content so blogs come in as RSS and Adam feeds I highly recommend Plone because you can structure your blog as a tree and I can import it as an XML And then there are many markdown libraries to be imported. There's some YAML stuff the the videos from here And of course, it's also got a web user interface. So it's a content management system very close to Plone Everybody has their own tree and they're all structured differently So on the right-hand side, you see lots of private trees. They're all imported and merged into the single global tree It's great for senior developers You can link to your GitHub or bit bucket repositories packages if you have blogs your blog postings articles YouTube videos resources elsewhere it's excellent for the intermediate developer because instead of spending all your time going to Google and searching you can Just go to bloggery and learn what's available in the categories that are of interest to you Of course the micro bit is the big thing because all these beginners they don't want to spend their time searching They just want to learn what's available and they want to and it's an opportunity for the senior developers to connect in with all Those new micro developers and let them know about your products. I Invite you to take a test drive. It's all done in Python on top of ZODB with fancy tree JavaScript libraries It's behind an nginx server. So I was told it should be able to handle this crowd Let me know how it goes and I would invite you to come by The booth for a test drive tomorrow and we can talk about your Python web assets and which categories they belong in Also on Saturday, there's a link fest So what you're going to do is it bring breakup into small groups of people interest in the same categories So you can find people who are interested in just what you are and then work together with them to Identify the important resources which ones we should be linking to link to them and talk to them about your issues I invite you to come To the booth I invite you to come on Saturday And if you go to the website on add your blog email and password you can stay connected get email updates. Thank you very much Guys I had a request Gil will you stand up? All right, see Gil here has got stickers Can you see him over here in the front you'll stand up make yourself really obvious? Gil here has got stickers for PSF members So if you're a PSF member put your hand up for the rest of the lightning talks Watch out for Gil as he comes near your row spot him wave to him discreetly and he'll give you an amazing PSF sticker that's how it's gonna work girl and the PSF stickers Congratulations and thank you for being PSF members and you overloaded their hands up thing again so No, no, they are confused So while Anson is setting up a quick time travel joke You didn't like it. Sorry Anson, yeah, took the tux academy great training materials for free I think this thing just died and which Starship is this? Help me crowd let's crowd source that thing. That's a bird of prey from the Klingons, isn't it? It's firefly firefly had only had one season so why do you get one season ship on the screen? I can't I can't seem to make this work. I'm afraid you can't seem to make it work Can we just skip one or yeah, so we skip to the random guys. Yeah Yeah I can see what the penguin of doom. I'm so random who got this joke Nobody it's nobody's not called Charlie more Okay, our next speakers will be David Naranga and Marco almost Mario Cortero, Cortero very good And they'll be talking about random random online So the deeply needed random as a service you're ready. Yeah big hand Hello everyone. So this is a David Naranjo and Mario Cortero We are two because we are shit nervous So if we faint on the thing, please next speaker a comment. Let's do like nothing of this happened So we are here to show our experience when we build in a site We really had no idea what we were doing just plugging things together to give some context We built a site where you can generate random stuff We'll give more information about the site afterwards, but the interesting thing is some highlights. I would how it how did it go? So first highlight we managed to generate our own span This is how my inbox bug looked like when I set up money to tell me whenever something goes wrong I've actually decided to get some CPU spikes every other day Intrasecond so generating hundred of females. So as good engineers, we went to the source of the problem Monet was generated too many males. So we just raised the threshold, right? Second highlight We managed to make people make money with our site One money one morning. We received this email. It's in Spanish. It says that our site Was having some animals activities. We figured out there was a Fishing website hosting a VPS, which was hacking credit cards making like they were a sweetest sweetest government for tax revenue and blah, blah And also, I have a guinea pig. His name is Mordiskitos He loves to watch Game of Thrones with us and he likes to travel around the world Especially the beach places. Third highlight is never too late to release There's this night 11 p.m You have been working on something and you really want to realize it today because this writing has been tested So you just push the broad and whilst he's being deployed you just go to sleep Bugs bugs everywhere everyone So the three of us at work in the project received a lot of males because every every time we have an error log we get the email well everyone but him because he had a spam filter after the money thing and So then I connected to the broad server and change some lines of code and restart Apache and Also together with copying the data to notepad plus plus and search and replace and paste again Whilst I was getting in the mobile phone ping ping Still errors generated. Well, it was a fun evening Well, I wanted to talk about a couple of things about knowing your user before you implement anything like big or huge The thing I wanted to say was that we knew that our and 95 percent of our traffic was Spanish people So it would it would have made sense to put Spanish as the full language but we didn't we've set up English because of reasons why not and And that what happened is that we managed to lose two-thirds of our traffic in only four months Yeah When later we managed to recover it during the last year, but it was in the end. It was a not so bad And oh, yeah, another planet is this is the region we both come from it's a very nice place with many things and that was my village and Yeah, the the name literally means stream hard. I don't know why but it means that and yeah It has nothing to do with the presentation But it's just I say it because it backs me when everybody asked me where I'm from and nobody know what it is So it's there in the middle of nowhere Yeah, after that another thing I wanted to say is that We considered that there was a new functionality that was we couldn't find it on the website That was making a collaborative draw where anybody can join and see live results and talk in a chat room and everything is sounded like a Perfect idea didn't it? It sounded didn't so much because after setting up everything implementing a lot of things and everything is in production We tested in we go to analytics and we see that this night The blue thing is a normal draws and the zero point nine percent It's the third row that we have put so much effort to implement So yeah, we in the end we improve a little the figures like at least one percent, but we did but well It's not so bad. It's it worth and Well, just to have a look of what is the website for and you can generate random numbers arrow cuts Like making random groups coin setting points from a picture tournaments Raffles and Facebook and so on and Well now it has a over 2k visit per month like 2k comic was still impressed me because I don't know how can we make so many comments on it but fine and And there are a lot of technologies and things that we learned that we are really happy to do the things that we learn And yeah, it's fully open. Sorry if anyone wants to create a new draw or anything. It's more than welcome Yeah, and then we enjoyed a lot doing it. Oh, yeah, this is a thing Thanks a lot for for this time, and I hope you're enjoying seeing us suffering in pain here in the light. Oh, thank you very much Wonderful Heta Victorin So I'm some again might have another go at this. Yeah different to firefly which only had one go Yeah, sadly This thing always this thing always so who visited the keynote this morning. It was great. Wasn't it and Kind of ironic Python is a language which has the only language in the world has a module for anti-gravity Which you can import and that language which has a module for anti-gravity was used to detect Gravitational waves No, no, no good We're still fighting Doesn't doesn't move and I don't move the other thing was Some of our us asked his guy. Did you think it was a prank? When you got it and he was explaining before that During that gravitational wave to produce it The mass of three Suns was converted into energy. I was thinking wow, that's some effort for a prank okay hmm, so Do we have to skip like a sci-fi channel skip firefly? I can do another choke with those two Black holes just have to reboot this thing and see if whether that changes anything Sorry, okay Sorry Miller sloth. Are you somewhere near the front? You're a sloth. No, Peter is already setting up very good. All right. Will you put your hand up if you went to an open space? All right, keep your hands up. Will you put your hand up if you've been to visit and speak to a sponsor? Keep the hands up. All right fine And will you keep your hand up if you've made it to every single one of the morning keynotes? Witchy now everybody that hasn't got a hand up right now. You should be embarrassed. You're not taking full advantage of this conference Particularly by the way the sponsors who every time I go and speak to a sponsor I'm like kind of dragging my feet going well I suppose I should do this but they're just gonna it's gonna be all commercial nonsense and actually I inevitably enjoy the conversation So did you miss his do you still have his talk title? What whatever oh it's a better victory in about whatever give him a big hand Yeah, so I want to talk about two new peps that are making it to Python 3.6 But I need to kind of this Describe descriptors first. So let's say you're building kind of an ORM like like Django's models You have a little database and you want to have a class that represents a row in that database Now as a first attempt you might do a class like this Get a number of the row Copy the name and whatever attributes you want into your class and hey, you have sort of like an ORM thing The problem is if you if you change something in that class The database doesn't get updated. So what you can do to fix that is Add a set name function call the set name function to change whatever Whatever attribute you want the class is updated the database is updated all as good Problem is if you create two classes like this update just one of them the other one will Get left in the dark what you can do is use properties properties are kind of like descriptors on training wheels kind of like descriptors zero You can have a property that dynamically gets some attribute from from somewhere else from your database You can have a setter for that that Updates the database Everything is nice the problem now is all of this you have to Write for every attribute would be nice to kind of package that up in some framework So you wouldn't have to write that All the time again And for that you can use descriptors descriptors are a bit like properties. They have a get function and a set function There's a bit a bit more magic involved But the good thing is you can have all this in us in some framework. You just import it use it Use it like this you declare your attribute to be a column with some name and you're good The problem here that people found out is that you have to repeat this name two times So in Python 3.6. We are getting or well before that Things like SQL Alchemy and Django Do a thing that is a bit like this for every attribute in the class You look if that attribute if that attribute actually is a column If it is then you set its name So now you don't have to use this name but you have to Call this fixed model function on every class and that is handled by something called meta classes Which are giant black magic with a several drawbacks one of these is that meta classes are not supported on micro Python So we need something better So And Python 3.6 there was a pep accepted just this week. It's pep 487 where you can You can use an in its subclass function and whenever you make a class The in its subclass of of the parent class gets called So you can get all this magic in your framework in your library and then just subclass model everything is fixed Everything is nice You can do one more thing with that pep and that is in in your descriptor class There's a now a set name function which gets the name so you can you can kind of set it You don't have to do anything else Don't have to repeat the name. So This is the kind of change that gets added to Python by now, so, you know, it's a pretty complete language There's just these little quirks to iron out One more quirk like that is the Django orm orm needs to know the Order of these attributes like the order they were defined in to map that to the the database columns Currently that's done by by a giant hack by pretty much having a global counter and keeping the track in which these column classes were created and then you can Yeah, you can order them like on the last line there You can see which one was created first which one was created second and for that problem pep 520 was created and So now you can you have this attribute called Definition order Which gives you the names the names of whatever attributes were defined on the class As is what is defined so you can actually order by by this name. So Thank you. I think I'm out of time. So thank you for listening. Hope you got something for me Okay, that time is a charm on sim so give him an encouraging applause Third time lucky Yeah About if we recycle jokes from last year, but instead of me saying the punchline the people who are here last year I can say in the punchline and then it's interactive So for example the pirate programmer you remember walks into a bar and it's got a parrot on their shoulder and Walk up to the barman and the parrot is going Pieces of nine pieces of nine pieces of nine and the barman says oh, I think I think there's something wrong with your parrot and the programmer says We have to switch we have to do which to To reach he tries the other just in case you didn't hear that the other punchline is it's a parity error Yeah, you guys there wasn't enough of a groan really, but it's not the end of the joke It's not the end of the joke because then the barman says one more thing, right? It's like it's a two-sting this joke. What does the barman then follow up with? Yeah, I thought it was a bit off right You made it um, I think slides are way overrated anyway Guess why we have this nice spaceship on screen. I couldn't talk for a couple of minutes even without slides So where I'm where am I coming from? I? I've been using Linux since about 1993 or so for the last 15 years or so I worked as a Linux instructor for a company in Germany that company stopped earlier this year for reasons and One thing I did for my job was basically writing training materials books on how to use Linux and other open source things So I talked to my old boss also happened to be my new boss what to do about these and he said no problem We make these open source and you get to spend one day a week working on these So there we are now. This the project is called tax Academy at www.taxcademy.org That's t u x C a d e m y or g You have to stick to w w w in front. I'm afraid I haven't got around to fixing that but what we do have Right now or what do we mean open source with open source? We mean Creative Commons by SA so creative commons mean you get to share these tweak these Use them however you like even in your commercial classes By means that our copyright notices need to stay on even if you tweak them and share them and SA means share alike So if you do tweak these and pass them on other people get to use your tweaks and tweaks the tweak these further So what do we have now we do have training materials in German and English that mostly cover the LPI first level certification exams We have training materials in German that cover the Level two of the LPI training exams and we have bits and pieces Including a manual on Python, which I just uploaded yesterday to celebrate this occasion So do check that out if you want All of these are available in PDF which of course isn't a lot of fun to tweak So I'm working on getting the latex sources released for that as well So tweaking them will be more fun What can you do? you can read those learn share teach you can Contribute send send me bug fixes that you find you can Of course if you want to contribute sections chapters new manuals that would be great You can translate these into other languages if you like you could learn German if you Want to read those that aren't German still and of course the main thing you could do is spread the word We're still looking at the spaceship, so thank you very much. I'm very sorry about the slides spent two hours on those last night But anyway, enjoy the rest of the conference I'm so happy to have a native English speaker on stage with me Harry Which is the only word that's spelled incorrectly in an English dictionary Incorrectly give him a big hand You're looking for the port or yes Okay I'd just like to say everyone by the way that I've made a change a stylistic Sartorial change to my usual lightning talks outfit today. Does anyone notice what it is? Oh god, yeah So someone told me there's a there's a sort of saying in Bilbao, which is this which is Which basically means put your own shoes on And so like I'm very glad to do that One of the reasons I didn't wear flip-flops is because when you're up on stage in front of a lot of people a fight or flight Reaction kicks in it's very scary. So you want to feel like at any time you can actually run away really quickly So barefoot is one option or like running shoes is good too. So yeah, just in the back of my head is that like sort of escape mechanism I guess the fight part is where you tell the jokes, right? That's where you take on the challenge and go surely people will laugh at an incredibly bad pun. It must be possible. Oh Okay, wonderful, we have a full-screen show Harry you've got the title and the speaker It's me does love. Hi. I'm Mila Poujman and I just don't see it like I cannot get like duplicated. It's so I Kind of complicated to just look there There's my name somewhere like Okay So I would like to show you how you can Control open-office spreadsheet from Python You made me know that open-office as an API which allows you to control open-office instance But the API Which is called, you know, you know, it's very complicated. One does not want to use it directly So I wrote a library called pi o o Which should provide some simple and pythonic interface to this, you know API So I will try to show you a few lines of code how you can use that library First I start open-office You just see that you got some process ID and no return console the open-office is running I said that it should listen on some socket and If it's listening, I should be able to connect it and create new spreadsheet I import the library create a connection and Okay, it happened on the my other screen Like there is no delay when it starts and pop ups but so I write to write and Okay, if I have the spreadsheet Which is new I can also open existing spreadsheet Which is useful if you want to read some data or if we want to use some template, but Okay, I will take take the first sheet because the data are in the sheets I can get it by name or by index and you see the name is correct and Okay data This is how you assign data to that sheet you may know the syntax. It's inspired by an umpire so it comes to the dimensional array which set values to and Let's execute it. Okay, the data are in this spreadsheet and You can set data or you can set formula I guess like most of the people do spreadsheets because of these formulas So in this example, I set formula to the spreadsheet I use some helper which finds the correct cell range and I read the value of the spreadsheet of the formula back Which is three thousand and three as You can see it's calculated by the spreadsheet It is just the expression and I got the same value in spreadsheet and in Python and There is many more you can format the code you can save it. I will show one last thing which are charts And I have a chart if which is like interactive if I change somebody here. It will change a chart or so I guess that's most for this talk You can you can catch me and ask about advantages and disadvantages because it's like kind of special solution But main advantage is that you are using open office which implemented most of the functionality you may need Like you don't reinvent all that things when you are trying to I don't know some find something Microsoft thing implemented somewhere maybe documented maybe not and This is the link to the company github where there's the library there are some strange documentation about the API and Thank you Next up is Fabio yeah Fabio after that Alex I Think we he will not have VGA, but HTML. So sorry you have to switch them. I guess Oh Give a man a fish and he eats for a day Teach a man to fish and he will send you emails trying to get your bank account Are you adequately prepared to rock? Do you know the all-man rock band that does not sing? Mount Rushmore That was lame If life gives you melons Correct Okay, okay, so I have a special request. I Want to finish my talk 30 seconds before so I can have a second talk in 30 seconds cool Okay, so I'm probably I work mainly this is my github account this is my Twitter account I Work mainly on bouquet of the physician library to do nice things But today I want to Talk about something new Who here have heard about a Jupiter notebooks? More or less everyone and who here have heard about Jupiter lab Okay, not so many. I would say in 5% maybe less. So Jupiter lab is the new Is what is going to be the new Jupiter? environment and The jupiter team just released I think two weeks ago or so Alpha pre-alpha version that kind of work actually For an alpha and you can actually download the project and install Follow the instructions and to run that you just run to prayer lab And there you go And as you can see it's quite a different interface it's meant to be a different kind of user experience Comparing to the current Jupiter notebook on the left side you see there there are tabs files and commands. It's a nice command cheat sheet where you can see that commands and how To the shortcuts again you can actually field of them like so and search for stuff here It comes with an about an about tab on the on the main area and tells more about the project and other stuff but the the main Window lets you actually do more than notebooks you can Create a notebook and that's quite familiar as an interface. Even it's a little bit different Also the menus are gone and it's a Fully completely new work They're there's a small part that is being reused But there's a lot of work that behind it both on the interface. You can see that the interface is different So if for instance if I open this this notebook and start typing something This And then I don't want I want to start a new one. I can start here and if I want to have and see both I can actually stack them. I can place stuff in the Y in different places like this And the whole system is Very new it's built to to be pluggable and it's built to be a event-based so one of the problems of the Jupiter plugins is that basically all of them work just Putting everything in the but in the dome like a trash can and then reusing stuff This is much more lightweight and it's meant to be to be performant and read in the proper way You can actually have a new code an editor to write code and you know Normally, but actually you can now also Seriously start a terminal so you can actually start a terminal inside Jupiter and and I invite everybody to try and play with it try to break it and pose issues and Possibly pull requests and it's it's interesting especially that the UI can actually CD and or We're all grand commands Or like if I don't want to use vi inside Jupiter. I can actually do that So you can actually use your your preferred editor inside Jupiter Which can be Emax or vi And What should be expected here More okay, so I skip talk So this is my 30 seconds talk Borda My friend he has a dream. He want to meet Larry Page and So we are starting a campaign to help Borda meet Ray Larry Page say hi Okay, so This is Borda Twitter account. This is new Hashtag so tweet if you find Larry around take a picture with him take a selfie and tweet and You know tag Borda use the hashtag or if you have ideas or want to set up Especially if you know Larry Page or have his contact or email or you know his cousin or anything just Contact Borda. Thank you Just one idea. Maybe you should go via Google plus Yes, just the rough idea actually we were looking for his Twitter account Don't have it Alex you here He was sitting so nicely in the front there for a minute. We'll skip him So data challenge plethora who's gonna own up to being that either that as a name or a person that has not a name But just a description. Here we go. Brilliant. Thank you. And then after that we've got Florian Bruhe non crowdfunding Florian are you somewhere? Put your hand up. Florian Florian Yep, brilliant. Great. Okay. Thanks man Okay, so a a father and daughter Programmers father and daughter programmer are going to the bank to apply for a loan And the bank manager lady says, okay, well, I'm just gonna need you both to accept this agreement. So For the daughter, you're gonna be the main owner of the property So I just need you to sign this document and so the daughter like grabs a document goes Gives it back to lady and the lady goes Instead of a signature you appear to have drawn a perfectly curvy wavy line And she goes, oh, I'm sorry. I thought you asked me to sign it and she's like Whatever fine to the father. I'm just gonna need you to co-sign this document and the father and daughter just look at each other and go Take it away What is your name? I know Give her a big hand for the in this Industry 4.0 now we have another buzzword on stage. I'm so happy big hand and you'll talk Hello to everybody So I work at a machine tool manufacturer company companies names, etc. We are located here in the bash country And now we are launching a data challenge Because we want to encourage the python community to join and to meet the industry Just he was he works out plethora plethora is the spin-off company. We have created from this manufacturing Company and it's oriented to develop of products and services towards the Industry 4 or the industrial Internet of things So we are working now on data analytics and we believe that Python has lots a lot to offer to us No, that's why we are sponsoring this conference So this is a kind of machines we built in a set up. They basically make holes on metal pieces What we have done is we have collected data from these machines five days collecting data And we have obtained some data sets from these three servo drives So we are invited you to participate doing this in this challenge Yeah, and what you have to do is just work with this data Okay, we will have prices always a Macbook a pad or a ticket for next year's conference We'll have put the data datasets on github. You have all the information to read here And the deadline is the end of October. So good luck. Thank you Thank you so much. Is it only me or could everyone look at those big industrial automatic robots forever? That's oh When we're setting up for the opening show I looked on the badge of one of the Organizers nearer and she had the most sexy usage of the word mother on her badge She has mother of robots So you which a Yeah, well that looks big Adam castle you here Adam are about our IP great Or is that now that's not this playport or is it? Great Nothing happens and Pavlo about you to say great Well set up. Do you remember the keynote of Rachel from Monday? When she was Starting she told us she went 20 years without someone paying her salary. I Get reports from Greece and France where they go on the streets if it just stops for four weeks Just quickly by show of hands does anyone remember the original shaggy dog story That I tell that last year. It's about a shit. It's about a shaggy dog The original shaggy dog story if I didn't tell that one that is full permission to tell it tomorrow It's about Okay So Who is the backup speaker? He will be looking for a display port adapter So it seems rich here. He doesn't work here Does someone has a display port like not many but real display port to HDMI adapter Okay, while we answer that question should we have Adam up next? Yeah, who's next? Who's next Adam? He's coming He's switching back to So one request when you come on stage shout loud the type of adapter you're using Because our friendly helper always has to jump out last minute. Okay, right forum. Give him a big hand Cheers. I'm an Englishman living in the Netherlands. So I probably should apologize about Brexit, but that's a lot So I'm gonna quickly talk to you about the right forum I've deleted half my slides because I know that we're short of time Basically, we had to create a pyramid web forum app sitting on my man, too It's pretty simple. It's only about four or three views. This is what it looks like You can check it out there, but that's not really why I'm here. I really want to speak about my man three I'm wearing this really unique blue Python t-shirt If you can come and see me afterwards if you know anything about my man three about any upgrade from my man Man three, I'd love to talk to you But for now we've got this forum running there working on man man, too And that's that Excellent excellent Some some talks are quicker than setting up the laptop. I know he's coming with a Micropod you don't have to switch It will work which won't work on the other one, too How many technicians does it take to change a projector? What's not a word for infinite? Okay another go recompiling his kernel Wonderful Or did so Florian give him a big hand are you still setting up? I thought yeah talk It doesn't do what I plan to do yet Can I just say I have huge respect for people who come up and then configure their displays using like command-line X Randa tools This year is the year of Linux on the desktop So it's a story about a boy who's got a very shaggy dog the dog's hair is Very shaggy this is our story is actually the origin of the term shaggy dog story So if you heard my long jokes that go on forever and have like to basically, you know a terrible punchline They're called shaggy dog stories and the original original shaggy dog story is a shory about a boy with a shaggy dog So having a long intro to a shaggy dog story is a sort of shaggy dog story in itself Are you ready Florian? Yeah, my window my natural didn't quite do what I wanted, but that works The perks of using a tiling window my natural give them a big hand everyone So before I start I'm wondering are there people here who watch my last year's lightning talk about cute browser or remember it a few So I won't shamelessly recycle that talk. I'm already doing this for the pie test training So that's not what I'm going to talk about but it's a women like browser go test it out. It's awesome I also have stickers with me and I'll do a training. Yeah, sorry. I will do a sprint on Saturday But that's all I'm going to say about it. So a few months ago I had the problem that I needed to switch its back end like it's web rendering engine from a thing called cute web kit Which was deprecated to a newer thing called cute web engine based on chromium instead of web kit Which is an awesome thing fixing many bucks, but also needs a lot of time So I really couldn't do it in my free time or it would have taken me months probably So after a lot of thinking I thought about setting up a crowdfunding and I'll start studying in September So it was the ideal time to like quit my job and do silly things like this So I didn't really imagine it to take off My goal was to get 3,000 euro for a month for full-time work, which really isn't much if you're living in Switzerland so 24 hours later I got two of those 3,000 euros and The month later I was at like 7,000 so this went really well and Basically all I want to do with this talk is to encourage you to try something like crowdfunding if you have like a clear goal and have already have a user base which Like a loyal user base Then it might actually work out really well Just a few hints First of all, it really pays off to spend time on making a video making a good text I've seen crowdfunding with like a page full of text with a lot of typos in it And if I don't know you I'm not going to fund your project if your text is crap already. That's just how it is If you want things to send out I can highly recommend ordering stickers Because let's face it stickers are dirt cheap You pay like you pay like 20 euros to get a hundred stickers and you pay 30 euros So ten euros more to get two and a half thousand stickers. So that's what I did Then you'll get stamps a lot of them Like have you ever paid like a hundred euro for stamps to send out letters? That's just crazy Then you pay then you Will take some time to just fold paper and put them into envelopes and you can send out stickers to people Which many people really appreciate because hey cool thing you can stick on your laptop Another thing you can do is sending out t-shirts, but the logistics of that is it's quite a bit More complicated like I still need to send out a hundred t-shirts and they haven't really done it yet I also wrote the like started a blog where I'm Doing a daily reporting of my progress if you're curious It's on block dot cute browser like qutee browser org Which is quite nice like to show people you're actually doing something and also to not drift off if you're like Sometimes lack the self discipline like if you do work on something full-time on two months. This can happen A similar thing was done for pie test recently where I was involved as well so we crowd-funded the sprint to get our developers together and Also got like 12,000 euro a lot also from companies using pie test and yeah, that's a lovely group photo That's all I got all right next is Charlie on coding competitions, and then it will be Pavlov I Just like say if if if someone can raise 7,000 euro for a browser that works with vim shortcuts I think whatever your idea is there's definitely a way you can raise the money Bearing in mind that I'm quite sure there already is a plug-in for Firefox that does exactly that Isn't isn't there? Yeah, yeah, there is yeah So a big hand for Charlie about running a coding competition. Hi. I'm Charlie I work for man a HL which is a systematic hedge fund in based in London We're use a lot of Python and last year I had the pleasure of working in a team to run a coding competition the man a HL Coder prize it was really fun and a great experience So I just thought I'd fill you in on some of the highs and lows and also let you know that we're thinking of running it again December 1st this year. We're gonna launch a new challenge for everybody to have a go at So the court the code bundle for this and all the instructions are still online So if you fancy having a go at the challenge yourself, you still can have a go even though the competition is now shut for this year So the game was hexplode which is a classic Expand and conquer game. The idea is to place counters in tiles and when you have more counters in a tile then there are surrounding tiles then it Hexplodes and you expand outwards across the board. Hopefully faster than your opponent does So Andy my wonderful colleague coded up an implementation of this We are star colleagues to test it stress test it and they really did take that to heart Some of them I think put more effort into trying to circumvent some of the rules and and hack their way through than actually legitimately winning it But it's probably best that they found the bugs than some of the entrance did So we tweaked it a bit. We teamed up with Python anywhere who were fantastic and felt like we were pretty much there Right good to go. How wrong we were there was so so much more still to do We decided on a five thousand pounds prize, which is quite exciting And came up with two marketing ideas In binary really seemed to have quite the eye-catching effect we were going for On top of that we had a Facebook account to deal with and personal replies were needed to endless questions tweets to come up with Instructional videos as you can see on the bottom right when I took this job to be a Python developer I really didn't expect to spend a day in a film studio with a green screen behind me and and Getting some outtakes on the moon, which was great We also had Facebook advertising to deal with we wrote some Python training exercises Which are on the GitHub as well so that UBS can have a go other marketing things On top of that terms and conditions needed to be written up We had to research what gaming laws are in the UK and Ireland not something we tended to do But one of the most biggest tasks was working out how to spread the word So we wanted every sixth form college and university in the UK and Ireland to hear about this and try and persuade some of their students But we managed to all December the first came round and we opened up the submission page And so over Christmas all of our keen entrants were coding away One thing we did underestimate was quite how last minute students might leave things so despite having a Despite having a month to write a solution to this We had so many submissions in the last hour and in the last ten minutes and one in Just over a second before closing when they've had a month But for ages we had one submission Which to be honest with you. I think it was a colleague just testing the submissions page I Died my hair ginger by this point so for like all of Christmas. I looked like that But it worked we had our submissions we closed it down Far more than we hoped in the end and we ran all of the algorithms against each other and had our final eight Entrance brought them in for a day. It was such a nice day to meet all of these students They've been working hard on a problem that we'd set for the last month We tweaked the code and changed the rules slightly so they had a on-the-day tiebreaker code off Which was quite exciting and and finally we got our winner So all in all I think quite a success. We're as I said, we're hoping to run it again this year The the prize pot has increased. So that should be some extra motivation And we're expand it wasn't a big enough task last year So we're expanding it now to all of Europe in and Switzerland So if you are 16 to 25 a student and live in Europe or Switzerland This is for you It's also for you And and the UK So please do come speak to me afterwards if you've got any comments feedback If you have an idea as to how we can get the word out there We really want to spread it amongst the Python community and inspire more people to try their hand at Python And getting in contact with some of these countries is is going to be hard for us Yeah, that's all thanks. Thank you very much So Harry who will be defining like the final lightning talk on so you say that again? Pablo's next Pablo the final VGA we have to switch What I find funny. They are discussing about getting rid of the earplaf What is the English word for it? What they? That's why they're getting rid of it Ear buds, but not of the VGA. So hey there give him a big hand Hi It's quite a few of you still here. Thank you for staying with us right, so I'm Pablo and I'm gonna talk to you about Jupiter Tricks that you can do with Jupiter. So The headline is you know, you should use Jupiter and why because you really should Okay So three things that I'd like you to take away from this presentation is you can use Well, you can try using like Jupiter notebooks in a production like environment. I'll show you how You can if you can you can run microservices from a notebook. So essentially you can like Yeah, you can assign a URL to a cell essentially and serve it that way pretty awesome And you should definitely review the magics I mean you probably heard of magics, but you should definitely review the list of it By the way, can I have a show of hands like how many people heard of Jupiter or use Jupiter? Oh Okay Right so I'll start with Jupiter magic So if you do LS magic you you can see a minute goes just beyond the screen So you should really read about each of them. So P info you can you can supply like a variable or like object name to P info But you can supply you can you can give a magic to a magic. Okay, still works Actually, it pops up the it brings the this, you know, the pop-up window. So you can't see it in the presentation Command line tools so the exclamation mark and you can run whatever your command tools are Like if you it's like, oh, I really need this package to just do people install, you know The great thing about those is they they return special objects So if you do like, you know files give me give me the output of LS and then you can do files dot l that returns a list files files dot s returns a String space separated string awesome There is also dot n for new wine Yeah, who is yeah, that's been around for ages, but there is also who s which kind of prints the Current variables in a table format quite handy Logging yeah, I mean login is quite useful. So log state gives you like whether login is on log on log off Is actually not what you think but it's switching it off. You need to do log start before doing that Right micro services as I said you can just assign Get in post request to a cell. That's actually so you're looking at the cell that is actually serving a Hello, you're a python. So as you can see it. So the cell above this is the presentation that the presentation Made out of a notebook yet using and be convert. So that's actually what is running So you have a cell you have a first line is a common says get and we're gonna assign hello world and Then I just do request dot get and here you go Awesome, you can you can inject. So it's some people say it's difficult to set the state of a Notebook so you can you can you can send a post request to a cell this way Something to try. Yeah, okay, so production is in notebooks. I'm gonna skip the rationale and I Demo, okay, right. So this is as you you can probably see in the In the bar. So this is a web page. So this is a web page that is produced used from a Well Jupiter notebook. So this is actually a web app But the back end is still Python. So what it does is basically so where are we? 2016 okay, so if I switch to where where is the location of Europe? I think 2014 it says well, it was in Berlin, wasn't it? so this This widget is still rendered in Python. This is The proof of concept. This is the code. So you start with a you start with a notebook Short hands, please Right, so what what you can do then you go into the design Phase where you can take those widgets drag them around position where you want them Switch to notebook and then you go file deploy as local dashboard, you know, that's it Okay, let's go back to the presentation. So once again, what I want you to know is you can production eyes microservices Jupiter magics Hbh is hiring and That takes us up to six o'clock. I think that means we're out of time any final words Harold or any wisdom that we should share with everybody Do you think maybe we should do a song together? I don't think we should do it together They behaved well So thank you for being at the lightning talks enjoy your evening enjoy the conference tomorrow and see you

Carnegie Mellon University's Advanced Database Systems course is filmed in front of a live studio audience. It's two o'clock now, but we've covered Bristol Scale, we've covered Diarrhea, we've covered, what else? Behavior interviews. Okay, let's talk about databases. All right, so today we're going to talk about now how do we take the query plans that we've been given and actually start running them on our system. So recall that the last couple of lectures we've had were focusing on how to actually optimize, or build an optimized execution engine so that we can run sequential scan queries as fast as possible. And again, the major two camps are going to be the vectorization people with using SIMD and then the query compilation stuff that we talked about last class. In the case of query compilation, there was two high-level approaches. There's transpilation or source-to-source compilation. That's like you have your C++ code, emit C++ code that then gets compiled. And then the alternative was from the hyper paper that you guys read was compilation by generating like a low-level IR for the actual instructions you want to execute for that query plan and then using something like ASMJIT or LLVM to compile it. And again, as I said, the main takeaway that from at least from the seminal papers and vectorization and compilation come out over the last decade is that most of the systems that we're going to read about near the end of the semester are going to choose vectorization with SIMD and often times it's combination of auto vectorization and intrinsics, but they're going to choose that over compilation just because the engineering overhead to build and maintain a JIT compiled database engine is super high. We'll read this in the photon paper from Databricks. They explicitly call out, it's better off having a bunch of people try to optimize the SIMD stuff because then you can reach parity to the compilation implementation versus like if you go down the JIT path, there's a smaller people that actually can work on it. So again, today we're talking about scheduling of how do you take a query plan and divide it up amongst the different workers in our system. And so again, just make sure that we're using the right terminology. We're going to say that a query plan is going to be a DAG of operators and then relational operators. And then the operator instance is going to be an evocation of that operator on some portion of the data that we're trying to scan. So we're trying to read a table. It's broken up to row groups. We're going to have an operator instance be responsible for scanning a single row group and processing that. And then a task is going to be some computational piece of work that's going to contain multiple operator instances typically in the same pipeline that we want to then hand out to our workers to execute. And then a task set, sometimes called a resource set in some of the papers. This is going to be the collection of the tasks that we need or the collection of the tasks that we have for a given query that we need to execute. And the idea is that we know where the pipeline breakers are because we're the Davy system, we're the one building the query plan. So the idea is to convert these pipelines into individual tasks that we can then farm out and execute. And so today's class is really discussing figuring out how do we assign these tasks to workers in our system. I'm loosely defined using the term worker generically, but you can think of it almost as either a core or thread or process. It doesn't matter. Or a node. And then keeping track of where the data they need access is coming from and where is any intermediate results at the generating. Where is that going to go? So this is basically what I said. The idea of the schedule in our system is that we want to know for a given query how many tasks should we use, right? Because we want to take advantage of all the parallel cores that we have available to us. Also the parallel operations within SIMD. That's usually below what we're actually going to schedule for. But keeping track of how many tasks we want to use, how many CPU cores we want to farm them out on. And then when a task generates some kind of output that needs to go to a next task, where should we actually store that? Because in some cases if it stored it local to us, it may be the task that's going to read it, it may be remote. So it might be better to push the data to where the next task is going to need it. But you might not know what that task is going to be. So we'll see this as we go along. But the paper ahead you guys read from Hyper, it's about single node execution. And we'll see how we tie this all later at the end of the class. But the three different implementations of a schedule we're going to look at, they're also going to be all single node systems. And so the reason why I'm focusing on this rather than a distributed system is because basically the problem is the same. It doesn't matter whether it's a single node or multi-threaded or multiple nodes that are each single threaded. It really is a high-level problem trying to solve this. What tasks we want to run where and where should their output results go. And the main takeaway is going to be that we're always going to want to do this ourselves, especially on a single node and not the operating system. I think in the Hyper paper you guys read, I think they distinguish it between Postgres. Postgres is just letting the OS do all the scheduling because it's just forking full processes. And I don't think they even play games like Process Priority and so forth. But instead, with the exception of Postgres, every data system is going to want to do all the scheduling stuff itself. So we can talk about how to do it on a single node and then you'll see how that maps to a distributed environment. There'll be some things we can do in a distributed environment that we're not going to cover today, but we'll see this later on. Like in BigQuery Dremel, they're going to do shuffle stage after every pipeline breaker. And that allows them to reorganize and recalibrate the workers later on. But again, we'll cover that later. So what are our goals for building a high-performance schedule for a data system? So obviously we want to maximize throughput. We want to be able to process as many queries as possible. In our system, just sort of keep the thing always running and always consuming results and producing output. We're going to maintain some notion of fairness. And again, this is subjective of what fairness means to sort of one query to another query. But at a high level is that at the end of the day, we need to make sure that no query gets starved for resources. So even though we may delay the priority, and we'll talk about what that means, why we want to do that as we go along. But even if you get a lower priority for your long-running query, at the end of the day, we still want you to complete. And the flip side of this is that we want to make sure that the system seems to be responsive. That's reducing the tail latency, like the P99 latency of queries, if we can. But this will matter a lot for short queries. And so the idea here is that we want our short queries to complete as fast as possible because that's something someone is going to notice. That's the shortest scales of query execution. Like if your query goes from 100 milliseconds to 1,000 milliseconds, then you would notice that. So you want to get these short queries out as quickly as possible. But if your query is running for 10 minutes and it takes 20 seconds longer, no one's going to notice that. So the system's going to appear more responsive if you can get the shorter queries out more quickly. In the case of the morsel stuff, they don't have a specific way to actually handle that. They're sort of treating everyone... They had a QoS thing that they were suggesting they might do in the subsequent paper. In the Umbra one? It was in the hyperbill, the one that we did. There was something in the conclusion. I'm saying they would like to do it. I don't know whether they did it in hyperbill. They do it in Umbra. We'll cover that in a second. But the morsel's one is... Again, that sets the foundation for this idea of how to divide up the work. And they're going to do a static assignment of tasks to morsels, and we'll see in Umbra how they can break that. The Umbra one is more sophisticated. And the last one, of course, is that we want our scheduler to have low overhead. It doesn't help us if we're running this super complex computation to figure out the optimal scheduling, this optimal schedule for all our tasks. If that takes 20 minutes, we'll finish up in a few milliseconds. So we want to have most of our system spending time computing queries, because that's what people end of the day really care about. So I'm going to talk about some quick background in the beginning. Again, this will be a quick reminder of the things we talked about in the intro class. We'll first talk about, like, what is actually a worker? How are we defining the scope of a competition? Where is it actually located in our system? We'll briefly talk about what data placement actually means in the context of partitioning. And that basically is just, if I've already divided the data up in some way, where should I put that data? And the two are linked together, but we'll discuss that. And then that's one of the things that the morsel paper I spent a lot of time talking about was this notion between local memory and remote memory in a NUMA architecture. And they were trying to schedule things so that you were always processing stuff that was local to you. Again, the same idea applies in a distributed system. Ideally, we want our workers, if they're on a node, processing data that's local to it rather than having to go over the network to some far storage. And then we'll talk about three implications of schedulers. We'll talk about the morsel, some hyper. We'll talk about the follow-up in Umbra. And then we'll talk about an alternative from SAP HANA guys. And then we'll finish off, again, just putting in the context of a distributed architecture. Okay? And so what'll be interesting about the... We'll talk about schedule implementations. We'll see in Umbra and Hyper, these are going to have sort of dedicated worker pools that are just like crunching through all the tasks as they can. Whereas in the HANA one, they're trying to be a bit more sophisticated and have this notion of some worker threads can be asleep, some worker threads can be parked. And we'll also see this trade-up between work-stealing and not work-stealing, which is another dynamic we have to consider as well. All right, so... And this is just a reminder from the intro class that there's this notion of a process model and any data-explanatory system, and this specifies what a worker actually is going to be in our system. Right? So the sort of early database systems in the 1980s, early 1990s, these are a process-based system, but every worker was a separate OS process, because back then they didn't have P-threads like we have now that weren't really portable. So if you wanted to support one Unix versus another Unix, you had basically the POSIX API specified how to do fork to spawn processes, but maybe didn't have threading. Every modern system now today is going to be multi-threaded, so we'll assume in our system we're conceptually building that it'll be multi-threaded. The only ones that are not multi-threaded are the POSIX API, because POSIX uses a process per worker. And the worker is going to be this generic term that means it's just a computational resource that can be assigned a task to execute for some query or something for the internal database system, and that it can take some data in, crunch on it in our operator instances, and then produce output. And as I said, for our purposes going forward, you consume every system unless they fork POSIX to be multi-threaded. For some reason, in the early days when I first started at CMU, we took Postgres and we decided to make it multi-threaded instead of multi-process. I forget why we did that. But the interesting thing about it is, if you ever looked at Postgres code, there's a bunch of pound of fines for the different OSes that they support, like Linux, and Windows, and HPox, and BSD. And we ended up going and using like the Win32 code and that was at least starting point for us to then convert everything to P-threads. We also converted it to C++11, which I don't know why we did that one either. Yeah, we did it, we shouldn't have done it, but whatever. Yes? So you said Postgres is single-threaded, but I thought you also said it has processes. So Postgres is a process per worker. So a worker is going to be a whole entire OS process. So you can do some parallel execution of queries, but that's going to cross multiple processes, and they use shared memory to communicate. But no, you wouldn't build a system like that today. Yes? This question is, if all modernity systems are multi-threaded, why was it a bad idea for us to try to do that in Postgres? Looking back on it now, I fail to see what the research contribution would have been. So we had this execution that was written in C++ that was faster than Postgres, which is not always that hard to do, and then rather than sliding it in as an extension using extension hooks that Postgres supports, which Timescale does and Citus does, Cfowl is another one. There's a bunch of these data systems that use extension hooks to get OLAP engines inside of Postgres. We decided to fork everything. And then we, the top half of Postgres, we had the top half, kept the top half, rewrote the bottom half, we decided to then just scrap the whole top and re-write everything, because everything was sort of slow for what we wanted to do. But again, if I had to do it all over again, I would have just used extensions. Yes? So there's a process model that determines, right? Is that just like multi-threaded versus processed-threaded? So single-threaded also determines that new and part of the new and state-readed process? Its question is, does the process model determine the new and topology stuff, or is it just like, is it a thread per worker? Is it a process per worker? It's just a process per worker. It's just like, what is the, is it a thread? Is it a process? Is it a process pool per worker? The new and stuff is insular. Okay. So the other thing we can account for is how do we want to assign the workers to CPU cores? And the basic two approaches are, you could have a single dedicated thread or a single dedicated worker be the only thing that can run on a single core, a single CPU core. And this prevents like, this prevents contention on that core where like two threads are trying to run at the same time, their worker is trying to run at the same time at the same core, and they're trashing each other's, you know, L3 caches and so forth. Yes? So one worker is working on one task or one entire task set or one partition of the task? We're not there yet. Okay. Right? But it's going to be one task. One task. Yes. And then again, and the thing of that, like at the scan of this table, the table has 10 chunks or morsels. You had one worker for each of those 10 morsels. Right? The other one is going to be, you know, multiple workers on a per CPU core. And the idea here is that with one worker working on one task, one task set or one partition of the task? We're not there yet, right? If, when one core gets, or thread gets stalled because, a one worker thread gets stalled because the thing it needs is out on disk. Maybe it'll fetch it into memory or even if there's a low-level L3 cache miss. Right? You could have other threads run at the same time. For maximum performance, this is probably the right way to go though. Right? And actually, you also want to turn off hyperthreading. Just run, you know, bare metal harbor threads. Right? Because we're going to be CPU bound and most of the computations we're going to do in this system, we don't want any contention on the actual hardware itself. Right? There's other advantages in this for, if you do like transaction processing where I think you can't just, you don't want any stalls, but for OLAP, for both OLAP and OTP, this could be a better way to go. The HANA guys are going to claim this is better because they're going to have really, they're going to try to do fine-grained control of what threads are actually awake and running at a given time. But again, we'll cover that later. And they claim that's going to be better for a machine with a lot of cores. I'm sorry, a lot of sockets. Yes? You're saying the core should run instead? Yes. But why wouldn't you want your core to be visible? So, if you're compute bound and you're careful about what you're putting in your CPU caches and you're prefetching things ahead of time, a core should never be stalled. Right? Again, we saw this with the branchless stuff. Like, if you designed the system in such a way that like, do you avoid branch mispredictions and having to flush the pipeline of the CPU, then you should just be crunching through data as fast as possible. And you should never have it stalled. Or branch misses. Yes? Per CPU cores? Per core. But within that, you turn off hyperthreading so it's one hardware thread. So, like, a socket can have four cores and each core can have two threads because of hyperthreading. Right? So, you turn off hyperthreading and now it's one core equals one hardware thread. So, avoiding pretensions is more valuable? Yes. You're running basically a bare metal. You're running a whole system. Like, wouldn't you be able to then run a little, like, you have a cron job running or something? Can you have that run on the hardware thread? What is that cron job? What is this for? I don't know. Like, you have a server running. Like, you have a database on the server. Yes? In case it's dominating the CPU. Yes. Right? You can have that. It can handle all of the... It can sort of own all of the actual real threads that correspond to real cores. And maybe then the back-on-passing system can run on the unutilized processor core. What are these back... Like, garbage collection and stats collection? What are these back-on-tasks? Like, not even prior to the CPU. Oh, random stuff? Yeah, yeah. Why would you run them in your database server? Yes? I'll be doing something. Yeah. Turn all of that off. You don't want any of that. No, no. The core of the question is why not... Is there an advantage of turning it off? Yeah. Yeah, you don't have two threads contending for the same hardware resource. Yeah. I do have a graph. My impression was that when you have hyperthreading on, the other logical thread that spawns from the same core is going to only be unutilized part of the core. No. What is the unutilized part of the core? You have a pipeline of instructions, right? So when one gets stalled, the idea is like you swap out all the registers for this other logical thread, hyperthread, and then they come in and pick up where you left off. Right? See it. Again, if you're for your CPU bound, there's not going to be stalls like that. Yes. So we don't want convention just to summarize. We don't want convention because when we have two threads, if we have a PFI with threading, then we end up... Is because if I do the same hardware, there will be more cache misses at the other level? Yes. The same thing is, if there's more contention, if there's more things running on a single core, saying with two hyperthreads, then they're both trying to do something, it's the amount of work, and they want things that you bring in the L3 cache, or they bring it in your caches, and that's going to pollute it, whereas we're going to better off just letting one thread run to completion. Yes. For your desktop, sure, because like you're browsing the web, listening to music, watching videos, there's a ton of stalls like that. Who cares? Right? But for the database system, you're not running random Bitcoin mining on it. It's no cron jobs. If you care about... If you really care about your database system, right? If it's a blog, and you're running MySQL Postgres just to service the blog, who cares? Sure. But if it's like a high-end database system, like you're not letting anybody just SSH it into and run random stuff. Right? So this is an older experiment that students did here at CMU where it was just a toy in-memory engine, and it's just damaging between letting the database system decide where it actually plays data in a new architecture. Does everyone know what NUMA is? Who doesn't know what NUMA is? Perfect. Excellent. Yeah. So the idea is like, do you let the data system figure out, okay, this piece of data is going to go at this core, at this location, or this NUMA region, or do you let the OS figure it out for you? And so what you see here is that before you get to the hyper-threading line, right, you're going to get better scalable performance, better performance, when the data system controls exactly where the data is relocated, because now any data that's local to it, you don't have to go over the interconnect, which in some cases is going to be 2x latency. Right? So that's why this thing is going to apply to it. Now, to your point, why not leave hyper-threading on? This is when hyper-threading kicks in. Right? And now you see complete flat lines for either one, because they're not, it's CPU bound computation. Right? And in the cases when it has to go to memory to go fetch something to fill its caches, well, if I'm running another hyper-thread, it's going to do the exact same thing, and now it's, you know, I'm not giving any benefit. So here I'm throwing more threads at it, but performance is plateaued. Yes? At some point you're fetching from that data. You don't know this sum. All of these are, right? Like, all of these are fetching from memory. But like, if I'm stalled, like, fetching from memory is so expensive, if I'm fetching from memory, and I'm waiting for that, then you start running, well, what are you going to do? Fetch from memories. You do the exact same thing I am. So, and now you're blocked on the bandwidth of getting things from the DIMMs to the CPU, plus you're polluting your cache. Furthermore, you might, I mean, this is, talk to the architecture people, but now you're like, I don't know how well the hyper-prefetching is going to be, because now like, I would have been better off having one thread and a chunk of data versus having two threads start in different spots and try to prefetch those. Again, I think the hyper-prefetching stuff could probably handle that, but it's just making things more complicated. Whereas if you keep the system more simple, you know, we can get better utilization of what we have. Okay, so, hyper-threading, nice in general, but not for databases. Okay, so we were, all right, so the next thing we've got to consider is how are we actually going to get our tasks to our workers. And there's basically two approaches, either push versus a pull. And the push approach, there's some kind of centralized dispatch or a schedule component that has a global view or a view of what the workers that are under its per view or administrative control, it knows what tasks they're doing. And then as new tasks arrive, it's pushing those requests, those tasks requests to the different workers to always give them something to do. Right? And then when the worker notifies that the batch is finished, you know, it's immediately going to be given, here's the next thing to do. The pull-based approach, which is going to be the better approach, which everyone's going to do, is going to be that there, the sum scheduler component that's maintaining the queue of all possible tasks that could be executed at any given time, with additional metadata of maybe about what data they're trying to access and where is that located. And then now the workers, when they need something to do, they come to this queue and get the next thing to do. Right? And this is just easier because it's less coordination of maintaining state about where each worker is in its computation. It just says, hey, here's much stuff to do. Here's, you know, it's a la carte. And people can just come and pull things off the buffet tray when they're ready for it. Yes? Which one has lower overhead? The question is, which one has lower overhead? Overhead for what? We don't want to understand if you take too much time. And so, actually, if you are a worker who has to go pull from the queue, that probably is, you're eating up safety cycles and doing that. So his statement is, and there's actually two parts of it. His statement is, the question is, which one has lower overhead? If it's the pull-based approach, then you have every worker thread going to say, what should I be doing next on their own? Right. And won't that incur a penalty when they could be running queries? Sure. Yes. In some ways, and the second aspect also, too, is like this queue thing, which we'll see in the hyper paper, is a global data structure, which now you have to protect with latches or locks. And then now everybody could be intentionally contended on that. So, everyone's still going to choose this just because it's, you can build this schedule as a separate service and not worry about exact control or exact knowledge of what every single worker is actually doing. Because a worker may die, right? And then now you've got to figure out, like, you know, did I told a bunch of, do a bunch of stuff ahead of time and now it can't do it? Where you just say, here's everything I need to do, and then now each worker thread will then figure out on their own what's the best thing for them to do. They're all sort of working globally to solve the problem. Also it's less intelligent, isn't it? The pull-based approach. Yeah. He says it's less intelligent, but like relative to what? To this? To that, because you can have priority in the push-pull. You can have the priorities in pull-1. Just because hyper doesn't, doesn't mean you can't. We'll see it in a second. You mentioned like the push-based approach like the worker is dying. How does it also not issue a pull-based approach? Yeah, he's right. If a push-based approach has workers die, you've got to figure it out. Actually that'd be approach two, not approach one. You start the deal out in pull-1. Yes, you're right. You basically need a hard peat to figure out or they didn't come back. Another way to think about it in the pull-based approach is that you can have the logic to figure out what task it, the worker needs to execute itself. Next is basically that logic is being distributed across multiple workers. Whereas like if it's a single centralized service, then it's one beefy box or whatever it has to then figure this out. I'd probably say that's the main distinction. Yes. The question is in the pull-based approach, does the schedule need to keep track of how long each task is going to take? Yes. Hyper doesn't do that. We'll see this in a number. The question is, can you use the same cost model as the query optimizer? So the challenge there is that some cost models in some systems you can't map whatever the cost estimate to like a wall clock time. If you ever looked at Postgres, it's some number. It's a combination of is it a sequential scan, random scan, how much data is it going to read, and so forth. Maybe people have tried this, but you can't just take that number. Oh, it's $10 seconds or something like that. Now the high-end enterprise data systems do try to give you cost estimates to say, here's the relative cost of the query which is an eternal value that you can use to compare different query plans but inside the same system. They also can then spit out, I think it's going to take this amount of time. So you could do that. But again, we'll see this in a few weeks. Cost models are always wildly off. So in the umbrella, the umbrella scheduling that paper which I keep alluding to, they're actually going to watch how long a task takes and then use that to figure out, to give a rough estimate of what the scheduling time should be for certain things. Okay. So regardless of how we're going to allocate workers or tasks to our resources and our system, as we said already, it's important to make sure that the data they're going to process, ideally, is going to be local to whatever that worker is. And in the case of the hyperpaper, it's an in-memory database, so local means it's in the same NUMA region. Obviously in a distributed system, especially within a shared disk architecture, while the cost of going to get data from S3 could be basically the same for every single worker node, assuming you're in the same data center in the same region. But once we start caching things, which we'll see later in the semester, every compute node could have its own local copy of files read from S3. And then now, when I assign tasks, I want to make sure that the task is assigned to the node that's going to have a local copy of that data. Yes. This is also another reason why it's full of these tiny numbers, because it doesn't know what part to work. And it's like, I'll give me the next task. Yes. It's not necessarily that the data that's needed for that next task is there on its local story. Yes, David. The pool seems dumber, because if the worker's trying to maximize the locality of the data he needs to access, he can't do that in a pool-based approach. Why not? Because it's just popping the top point. No, you don't have to pop from the top. What are we doing here? Well, the hyper does it one way. We'll see this in other ways, in other systems. Right? I mean, you have a priority queue. You don't always have to pop from the top. Now, if you're doing work stealing, you may recognize that the thing at the head of the queue is not local to you, but you may want to go ahead and run it anyway, because you're available. Hyper does that. I don't think Umber does, and Hanna doesn't. Yeah, absolutely, yes. So it's a global queue in that everyone can see it and manipulate it, but it's not going to guarantee FIFO ordering of the elements of the queue. Okay. Right? So it's a priority queue. Sure. In hyper, it's a hash table. Right? Right. Okay. I've already said this. You could have, some data systems will have locally attached storage as a cache. Again, think of like you spin up an EC2 node. You can get ones with NVMe drives that are local to that are really, really fast. And so you could use that as a local cache. It's a fibril, so if the node crashes, you don't need to retain anything in there. But again, while it's available, you could use that instead of having to go to S3. In some systems, again, Snowflake is probably the most aggressive on this, because again, they don't want to pay Amazon S3 costs. They can also use other nodes as a nearby cache. So if you know this other node is responsible for the data and you're running the task, instead of going to S3, you could go directly to that node and get it, but they're actually not going to do that because they don't want to interfere with the other node because it might be going slow. If you're stealing work that was meant for this other node, it's probably because they're slow. So why start making requests to them to make them even slower? It's sort of the logic there. And then the new mode versus not uniform memory access stuff we've already talked about, like local versus remote memory. Sorry. Partitioning and placement. So in the intro class we talked about partitioning this idea of how do you take a dataset and pick some set of columns or some keys and then divide it up based on the values of these keys across different files. And that would allow you to spread out the data evenly, ideally across resources so that when a query arrives that can run in parallel, each worker can have the same amount of work. So they're all sort of processing things uniformly. So there's going to be some policy that you're going to use to say, here's how I want to split things up, hash partitioning, round-robin range partitioning, and so forth. And then there'll be some target objective you're trying to have for sort of deciding how I want, the reason why I want to partition things a certain way. So one thing to be, I want to reduce the amount of network traffic when I do a join. So maybe I want to partition my tables on the things, the join keys, so that the joins can always be computed locally rather than have to do a shuffle or a broadcast join. In our world, in the shared disk, in a lake house environment, we're typically going to be doing round-robin based on files because we're not the ones generating these files. Someone loaded a bunch of stuff in S3, a bunch of parquet orc files. We're not going to have time to go fix them up and put them, partition them and rebalance them according to, again, some target objective. Snowflake will do this, they call micro-partitions, but I think they only do it for their internal data format, meaning if you do insert queries to put data into Snowflake, then they can rebalance stuff later on, repartition it later on. But again, if it's a bunch of files in S3, you can't rewrite them. Yes? So your question is for, if you're doing round-robin partitioning at the file level, what is the data system that you're doing? It literally is like, file one, go to you, file two, go to him, file three, go to him, that's it. And then they're assumed to be uniform size. The question is, are they assumed to be uniform size? Typically, yes. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. The question is, are they assumed to be uniform size? Typically, yes. I think so, yes. I mean, obviously you can imagine degenerate cases where I have a bunch of one-gigabyte files and I have one one-terabyte file, and that would screw things up. And I don't know what they might break that up so far, right? I mean, the way to handle that one also too would be you could assign the same file to different nodes, but then you just within that file you say, row group zero to five goes to this one, six to ten goes to that one. You could divide that further, but I don't think they do that. Questioning on row groups makes more sense. At least those are similar in size. Yes. Again, it parquets based on number of tuples, or it's based on the data size, but in the end roughly about the same, yes. It's split further within a file? Right, that's split. There's some advantage to it beyond just giving. Why do it split up based on the file? Is there any performance advantage to it? It's easy. I mean, you maintain less metadata. I have five files. I need five entries in my catalog to say where these files are. If I start doing subdivision within that, then I have to maintain more metadata, which some systems can do, right? If you're doing range partitioning, you have to keep track of where the ranges are. If it's hash partitioning, you don't need to do any of that. It's even cheaper. You could just say, here's the column. Here's the hash key or whatever. I want to hash on and decide where it goes. Now, if you're doing consistent hashing, which Snowflake does on the file level, then you've got to maintain that data structure to do consistent hashing, but we'll cover that later. Partitioning tells you how to split things up. The placement policy determines where those partitions are actually going to go. Again, the simplest thing to do is basically I got five machines, you just get one file. There's a round robin there. You could try to be clever of breaking things up in more sophisticated ways. We can ignore that. This is the easiest way to do it. So now in our catalog, we say, I have these files that have these sizes and this information about it, whatever I was able to glean when it was imported into my system, or I was notified that it existed in S3. And then I keep track of if this worker is responsible for it. So any query that shows up then has a task that wants to process that file, again, which we would determine in the Optimizer with the catalog, ideally, we want the worker that's been responsible for that file to process that data. And whether or not that worker has a local cache or not is a matter. It's just we're just saying that rather than everybody read everything, we can get more structure and say, this worker is going to read this file. All right, so far we have a task assignment model. Basically, how do we assign workers to threads or processes and so forth and whether we're going to do a push versus a pull from the scheduler. They have a data placement policy. Again, for our purposes, on a shared disk architecture and a modern lake house or data lake system, it's going to be at the file level and round robin distribution. So then now we've got to say, how do we take a logical query plan and convert it to something that we can then execute? And I've sort of said this alluding as we go along. We know where the pipeline breakers are. That's going to be the boundary for our tasks for the most part. But then now, how do we take those tasks and run them? So if it's an OLTP query, this is super easy to do because these queries typically only have one pipeline. Do an index scan, maybe a projection, and that's it. There's not many operators in it and there's no dependencies between pipelines. There's only one. That's easy. We just hand that out and let them run as fast as possible. But for OLAP queries, it's more complicated because we know there's dependencies between these pipelines and we can't, to avoid false negatives, we can't have one pipeline start running if the pipelines that it's dependent on have been completed to produce whatever the intermediate results that are needed. So you can't always paralyze them. Yes? Why does the figure side slide say logical query plan instead of physical query? How does it... Like, because the lot... Yeah, you can say physical, yes. Yes. If you just get rid of logical, then it's fine. Yes, that's the type of... Again, the logical query plan says, scan this, scan this... I want to read this table. It doesn't tell you how to do it. It doesn't tell you how to do a join. It says you join A and B. The physical query plan is the actual... It's like the exact algorithms you want to use. So we would... When we create a query plan... When we convert a query plan to a bunch of tasks, we're going to be doing that on the physical operators, not the logical ones. Thank you. I'll fix that. All right. So the easiest type of scheduling to do is called static scheduling. And this is where the... Again, the optimizer figures out... Or the scheduler figures out in the very beginning, I have this query plan, I have these workers, and I have this data, and it does a static assignment of tasks to those individual workers. Right? And it doesn't... The simplest way to think about it is I have one task per core or per worker, and they just all run at the same time. You still can assign the workers to... Or the task to workers that... Based on the data that's local to them. But again, there's no dynamicism. There's no adapting to the behavior, the performance of the workers as it actually processes the data. Right? And somebody's thinking this generic process does this. All right. So now the problem with this is that there's going to be some tasks that are going to be slower, either because the data that they're processing, it just takes longer to execute whatever the operators that they have on it. Like, you think of like... I have a complicated where clause where there's some predicate that is... That is really fast to compute but can be very selective on some of the data. And then the remaining predicates in that where clause are slow to compute. So nine out of the 10 files, all the data gets filtered out by that fast predicate. So those tasks run really fast. But the one unlucky worker that has all the data that does satisfy the predicate then has to run the more expensive predicates. And then it's just going to be way slower than the other ones. So now all the other workers have to wait until that task actually finishes before they can move on to the next pipeline for that query plan. So there's no dynamicism in any of the decisions that we're making here. Everything's figured out ahead of time. So what morsels is designed to solve is that exact problem. How do we figure out... How do we on the fly dynamically adjust how we're assigning tasks to workers so that if there's unexpected variations in the run time of tasks, we can have other workers fill in computing things rather than waiting for the slow straggler. So the morsels term comes from the hyper guys because they were just looking for another term to mean chunk of data. They didn't want to use partition. They didn't want to use shard. They couldn't use block. The morsel's meant to be something bigger. But the high level, it's still the same thing. You don't always think it's the same thing as a row group. But I think this paper came out before the row group stuff. So in their architecture, they're going to turn up hyper threading. They're going to have an assignment of one morsel per task. So a task is going to be responsible for processing one morsel of data. They're going to do a pool-based task assignment. There's going to be this global queue that they're all going to try to pull from and figure out what to do next. And they're going to do really simple round robin data placement. And so again, they keep track of what new region each morsel is going to be in. And they would annotate the task to say this task is going to execute this morsel on this morsel and then each worker that can decide whether they want to run a task that's processing data that's not local to it. So they'll have all the operators, parallel and numer-aware, that we can basically ignore. But it's going to think of having the exchange operators keep track of what inputs I'm waiting on before I can coalesce things and move on to the next pipeline. So this approach here, this morsel paper came out in 2014 and it's fairly influential. And this is actually what DuckDB does as well. And they're very upfront about this, that they basically took this paper and re-implemented it in DuckDB. And we had Mark give a guest lecture for us last year in the spring semester last year and they basically said they're doing morsel driven parallelism. So again, this is not just for hyper. DuckDB is widely used in its basements as well. I meant to look out, I think there's a couple other systems out there that are using a similar approach. So in hyper, there's not going to be a single separate dispatch or thread. Every worker is going to be responsible for figuring out what's the next task I need to execute. So you sort of think this is a cooperative scheduling where everyone's working together for this common cause, this global, you know, trying to achieve the best performance of the system, they're working together to try to do that. But then the logic to figure out what's the next best thing for me to run is going to be distributed across the different workers. So in the ideal scenario, they're going to go look in the task queue and try to choose a task that's going to process a morsel that's local to it. If there are no local tasks that are available for the current query, then they'll go find what's the next task, what's the very next task, even if that data is not local to it. Because again, that's going to be able to do to help mitigate the issue of stragglers slowing everybody behind. So now in the paper, they're going to ignore a very key problem which I think I've already talked about in their approach, and that's going to be the synchronization cost of this global hash table. A bit hand-wavy saying that it's not a big deal, but then when we see the Umbra paper next, they basically throw it away and they switch to a more distributed scalable approach. And in the case of the HANA paper, which I covered in a few minutes, they explicitly call out the hyper approach of having this global task queue in the course is going to be a problem. Yeah, but I think it's a four socket machine, right? I mean, for the HANA guys, they're talking like 128 sockets, no more, larger, right? They even told me, they had this like, before Sigma, they would have this like, they'd invite some database faculty to come see some presentations from people working on HANA, and they had one of their customers come in and they were running on some beefy box where they were running out of address space and X64. You have 64 bit pointers, but Intel only uses 48 bits. They were running out of space, they were addressing to 48 bits, and it was running HANA. And that was a few years ago. I'm sure people are easily exceeding that now. So, okay. All right, so again, the high level idea is going to be that we have some data table here and there's going to be some arbitrary slicing it up horizontally into different morsels, and then each of these morsels will be assigned to one socket, one numeric region. So, what does that look like? What we already talked about with packs, row groups, basically the same thing, just a different name. So in there, this paper, they claim 100,000 tuples per morsel was the right size that gave them the right amount of parallelism across all the cores. If you set it too small, then you're always going to the task view and that becomes the bottleneck. If you set it too big, then you have the problem of, again, the straggler, it's the only one that can process some giant morsel and everyone gets stalled for that. When we were building our system Peloton here, we did 1,000 tuples per morsel. And then I think in the follow-up system, with NoisePage, we were doing 10 megabyte morsels because you could play some trick with Instable Floss to do 20-bit pointers, 20-bit offsets, but we can ignore that. All right, so now we have our query plan. We convert it into a bunch of tasks that we have in our task view. Instead of thinking in the task view, again, it's the computation of the operators you want to do within the pipeline and then it's tagged with what morsels they want to operate on. So on each core now, they're each going to have a memory region that corresponds to the morsels. Again, this is just the table space for the tables. Then there's some local buffer they're going to use just to write out intermediate results. Again, this is an in-memory database, so everything's all in memory here. And then you have whatever your local, it's all in your local memory, then you have your single core. So to get started, each of these guys are then going to go into the queue and pull out things that are going to process the data as local to it. And then when now it runs, again, it's just crunching on the data that's local to it. So it doesn't have to go to the interconnect on the CPU. Everything can run really fast. And then they're always going to produce the output back into their local buffer, again, because they want to avoid the traffic over the interconnect or having it write to some remote memory. All right, so now say this on CPU 3 for whatever reason, it's just running slower. In this case here, because there's no tasks that are available for this query to execute because the next stage we have to wait for the output of the first stage, the first pipeline. So these guys essentially have to stall. Now, if there was another query in our queue, you could start processing that, but then you get this contention of like, okay, well, I only have so much space for my buffers. Do I really want to start processing another query that can then interfere with the data I want to store in my buffers? Because then I have to start swapping things in and out. These are individual cores. So this is all in one? Yeah, exactly. One core, they have L1, L2, and then on the same socket, all the cores share L3, and then they have local memory. So I'm drawing the CPU symbol. I could put a thread or whatever, but I think it's like one Harbor core. Yep. All right, so when this guy then finishes, this then frees up all the other guys. You can then go back to the queue and pull out, again, more tasks. And again, because the last task that they executed for this query wrote data to their local buffer, we want to then have the affinity of making sure that the next task that's going to process that data that we just generated in the previous pipeline is going to run on the same core. Again, avoiding that interconnect traffic. So now in this case here, say this one finishes up first. So if we do have actually a task we could actually could execute. And so Hyper says that in this case here, when you do work stealing, it's okay for you to go across the NUMA region to go get the data you need, because it's better to do that than having idle resources. Heuristic cost. Because obviously it costs something to do that transition. Yes. But you can't ever predict when that task on a CPU core 3 is going to finish. So what happens if on core 3 it finishes before it stops operating on that part of the network? So his statement is, the question is, is there a Heuristic to figure out when is it actually okay to steal? Because it may be the case that right before I steal, immediately after I steal, this thing finishes, then it could have processed it, and then I could have processed the data locally and that would have been better than this guy stealing. Again, when it's on a single node and you're measuring things like, the morsels are like 100,000 tuples, you're getting down to like milliseconds here. And the additional bookkeeping you have to do to figure that out, you pay a high penalty for that. It would be a lot of overhead to maintain that. It's just better to approximate it. They claim it's always better to steal. In the case of HANA, they're going to do even more bookkeeping and they say don't do any of that. And it's better to just don't do any stealing because the cost is too high. I guess it's a little confusing on how stealing handles partial work. This question is, how can you handle partial work and work stealing? Because like presumably like stopping in between the morsel side. So every task is one morsel. So this guy is processing, whatever, this one here, no one can take the same task because it's no longer in the queue. So when this guy, when one steals the next task, it's not processing on the same data as this guy. It's completely disjoint and separate. So there's no concern of synchronizing about partial results. Yeah, the morsels are disjoint. Yes? So in hyper, these pipelines are compiled, right? This question is, in hyper, these are compiled pipelines. Do they have compiled pipelines? No. What's normal? Yeah, it's a push-based model, but they're doing the vectorized approach of pre-compiled primitives. Again, this is completely independent of the query processing model here. It doesn't matter whether it's compiled or vectorized. In the back, yes. This question is, do you rebalance the enemy results? Yeah, so if this guy steals a bunch of stuff and he keeps writing to the buffer, it's a local buffer, then is it going to run out of space? I don't know what they do. I don't handle that. At some point, I suspect you would. Yes. Yeah, I don't know how they handle it, but you can imagine identifying that, oh, I'm running out of space. I can't process anything else. Either you don't process anything else until the query finishes, right? Or you can use an internal task that then moves things around, but then bookkeeping for that would be expensive. Yeah, I mean, that's one of the challenges of an in-memory database is that you can run out of memory. I'm assuming, I think they just assume that you don't. Yes. The question is, at some point, you have to aggregate the enemy results? Yes. But that's the exchange operator that we talked about before. Right? And then in that case, that you can't really paralyze, pulling the data from all the children below the exchange operator and then coalescing that to produce the final output. Okay. So one of the key problems with Umbra, or sorry, with Hyper, is that because one worker is assigned to, there's one, yeah, because there's only one worker per core and one morsel per task, they have to do work stealing because it's almost like this, it's not exactly static scheduling because they are allowing things to pull data as they go along, but they can't rebalance the amount of work that each task is doing. So in the cases where you're blocked on waiting this last task that you need for this pipeline, everyone has to stall until that thing finishes. Right? The other challenge, as I already said, is they don't really talk about how they built the lock-free hash table. That part's a bit hand-wavy in the paper, but, again, as we know, that's always going to be a contention point. Lock-free doesn't mean it's magically scalable. It just means that you're never going to stall waiting for something in the lock. You may have to spin until you can acquire something, though. And now you're burning cycles. The other two problems they're going to have in Hyper is that they're going to treat the execution cost of every tuple in a morsel to be the same. And as I said before, you can easily come up with examples where that may not be the case based on what the query is or what the predicates are. Right? The other issue is going to be, as you mentioned, the conclusion is, hey, it would be nice to have quality of service or priorities to keep track of these things, but they simply can't do that. It's almost a free-for-all. Here's whatever's in my task queue and then the workers are trying to pull things as fast as possible and just running it. But that means I could have a long-running query take up all the resources, all the workers while it's processing, and then I want these short queries showing up and I have no way to easily interleave them and make sure the short queries get processed. Right? And as we said, that's bad because people are going to notice when the short queries run slow. So the follow-up work to the hyper-paper you guys read or extension to morsels is this paper from 2021 on the new system that came after Hyper called Umbra. Again, the background is that Hyper was built by Thomas and his team at TU Munich. They formed a little mini startup based on it. Then they got acquired by Tableau and it was being used as the internal in-memory query cache for the Tableau, like, you know, the app anytime you used it. And then Tableau got bought by Salesforce and so forth. Thomas then lost control of Hyper because, you know, Tableau now owned it. So he went back and started building a new system called Umbra. And he couldn't use any of the source code he had from Hyper. Everything is written from scratch because he's a freak and he can. So this is the new scheduler that they built in Umbra that is meant to overcome the deficiencies that they had in the hyper-morsel schedule. So the key things are that the tasks are not going to be created statically at runtime and they're not going to have a one-to-one relationship between a task and a morsel, meaning one task can process potentially multiple morsels if it still has time available to compute things. Right? So another way to think about this is that they're basically going to be like sort of slicing up the computational resource based on time around this notion of quantum. So within your quantum, you can keep processing as many tuples as you can. And then when you run out of time, then you have to, you know, give the CPU back. But I still think even though you give it back, you're still tied to the morsel of your processing so nobody else can take it. The other thing we're going to be able to do to handle, you know, make sure that short queries aren't blocked by the longer running queries, they're going to do automatic exponential priority decay for queries so that the longer a query is running in the system, the lower priority it gets over time. And so again, it'll still be scheduled eventually but it's not going to get, you know, it's not going to be able to execute as many resources at any given time slice as a shorter running query who just arrived in the system. So at a high level, this is a variation of stride scheduling, which I think came out of the 80s or 90s. Did they teach that here or no? I don't think so. Did they teach that in OS? No. Think of it like it's a primitive way to do scheduling in an operating system for tasks and processes where you keep track of how long things have been running and how much work they're going to do every time they run. But in the original implementation, like there's a global priority list, there's global information that you have to maintain and you assume that the workload is fixed. But obviously in a database system query, they're coming and going all the time and so we can't make that assumption. So they have ways to fix that. Yes. How do you know how long a task is going to take to execute the query for the task? How do you know how long a task is going to take before you execute it? You don't. So the question is how do you know how long a task is going to take until you execute it? You don't. They just turn on monitoring on it and keep track of it over time. So you think of the morsel sizes, is it like you're just adding more data to the morsel? Yes. Or is it just giving them more morsels instead? So you think of the morsel concept. It's just a logical concept of here's the divider line of where one morsel ends and stops. So if you recognize that each task is computing each morsel really, really fast, then there's more bookkeeping to have to go back and give me the next task. You sort of increase what the boundary is for the morsels so that eventually the amount of work you do, the amount of time it takes to process that morsel is one millisecond. Okay, so you're not changing a given morsel after it's created. It's like for future morsels, you're going to make them bigger to better take advantage. You're not changing morsels after they're created. You're just making future morsels bigger. Yes, but again, make sure we're clear about when we say creation. It's just a logical boundary. It's not like I'm copying data and making it bigger. Here's how to cut things off. You don't go back to something that's already running. Hey, here's 10 more tuples you didn't have before. I'm actually changing the boundary as well as asking. If we're never changing the boundary for a thing that's already running, it's like we change the boundary to be like other things that haven't been processed. For the remaining parts of the data table? Yes. So does it look like there's some sort of small size that it starts off with and then it just keeps growing until one of them takes longer than one morsel? Yes, same thing is, and he's correct. Is it just that you start with a small size and say, okay, here's the amount of work you're going to do in a task. I mean, the morsel is going to be 100,000 tuples. But then if you complete that in less than one millisecond, then the morsel size for the next thing you're going to process will be a little bit bigger. You keep making it a little bit bigger until you, well, exponentially bigger until your task takes more than one millisecond. It's also going to be a bit of a non-issue, but what happens if their spreading amount is like, it takes like, for example, a five millisecond stack. It's never going to grow any more than it's supposed to. Or it takes like a really long amount of time for some reason to start with really big morsel sizes. This question is, what if the, when you start with like, you know, one billion tuples per morsel and you're really big, could you shrink it? Yes. Why not? Okay, I just like, I didn't know if it was a part of like the system design. Because it seemed like it was only growing. Yeah, but it's trivial to do. Yes. Why do you want to do one millisecond and run? Yeah. Because it allows you to be more dynamic and not have a, you know, work or just avoid the straggler problem. I think that it's, it is doing work stealing, but not in the, how does it, it is doing work stealing. So it's not, it's work stealing in that there's still going to be a global queue, but they're going to be clever how they maintain it. So when I got, when I got to say, what's the next thing I want, I need to go do, I got to go consider the location of the data plus a priority of what the next thing I need to run. Right? So, like in the morsel's approach, it was this morsel has to be processed by this core. It's been assigned to that. And the work stealing part is I'm allowed to run tasks that are for data that aren't local to me. So in this one, they're doing the same thing, but they're also now including the priority information about the, you know, about the query itself. So it is, it is doing work stealing, but it's, it's, it's a natural, our natural's not the right word either. It just sort of just happens because of the way they're maintaining the queue. It says, why is the goal to make it one millisecond per task? It has to balance it. Absolutely, yes. It's, I mean, we'll see a part of this in a second. The question is, is the priority assigned when the query, when the query starts? Yes. Like everyone starts with like one. The longer you run, then that decays. The question is, how do you make sure that the short running queries finish more quickly and the long running queries keep running? No, like, it seems like you guarantee that the long running won't, like, finish quickly. Yes. How do you guarantee that the long run doesn't get starved? Because the stride scheduling will handle that. There's this notion of a pass. If I haven't, if, if the, this sort of global counter, this water market keeps ticking forward and if my query is below that, then I get, then I'm allowed to run again. And any new query that shows up, the shorter running queries that show up, they're going to be assigned a water market that's above that global one. So they'll be starved out. Yes. If there was data that could be processed with what is in the buffer, that starts with prioritize, connective, and import. Yes. So here if the priority is global for each work, how do you deal with data and product? So the question is, in the morsel's case, the priority was based on what did I, you know, what did I need access in the morsel and where am I going to write it to? But in this case, am I not having the notion of locality? You do. And that would be, you would have a local priority. We'll cover that in a second. Okay. So let's first describe how they're going to avoid the global, the global task queue. And so it still has a global task queue, but the state about whether or not I need to refer to it to figure out what actually changed is we maintain in thread local storage every worker. Again, assuming we're running on a single node. So there'll be a global task set, but all this is just an array of pointers that tell you to go where to go find the information about the tasks that you have for a given query. And then within each worker, there's going to be these masks that keep track of which slots in my slot array up above are active, whether, and then change mask and return mask tell me whether something has changed up above and whether I should go confer it. And so what they're going to do is they're going to have the different workers across different threads are allowed to go right into the memory of these, of this information for the other workers as well, but they're going to do atomic compare and swap operations just to flip bits or basically XORs in the single instruction. And that, you know, yes, there's cache line and validation across interconnects, but that's not, it's not like you're copying a bunch of data, you're just doing one, you know, one compare and swap over the network. So my example here, I'm going to show that we have four slots and that could be active at any time. I think in the paper, they talk about have 128 slots and that's just to bound how much work can be run actually running at a given time. And again, the classical stride scheduling is you allow, the number of slots is unbounded, right? So again, the global task set slots, these are just pointers to where to go find the metadata in memory about what these queries are actually running. So let's look at an example of when a query finishes and when a new query arrives. Sorry, when a task set finishes. So let's say that worker one here, he's running Q1, task set one, worker two is running Q2, task set one. So when this thing finishes, we then need to go back up to this task set slot array, follow the pointer to go look and say, okay, is there something else I should be doing for this task set for this query? And let's say in this case here we've completed all, we've processed all the morsels. So we know that this thing is done. So then now the worker thread is then responsible for then taking the next task set and we're putting that back in the queue, right? But now we want to notify all the workers that, hey, something has changed in this task set queue up here. So let's go find out what it is because we want them to pull it and not have to push it, right? Because if you start pushing things, you have to maintain latches to make sure that you're not overwriting information inappropriately. So all we need to do now is just update this return mask. We just do a compare and swap at each thread to now say set a one to this slot. And then next time the worker comes back around and says, okay, I need to do something. I need another task to compute on. It knows that it needs to go check the task queue to find out new information that somebody posted about it. It's like a message board saying, hey, by the way, here's a change. I'm not telling you what it is. It's like a new email notification. I'm not telling you what it is, but you know where to go look for that information. So now let's say queue three shows up, query three. So it ends up getting put into the global task slot in this position here. And again, some other thread, like a scheduled thread or a coordinated thread, is responsible for then flipping a bit in the change mask for all these threads and say, hey, by the way, there's a new query to show up in this slot. And they're distributing the return mask because there's some bookkeeping reason that you have to do this. Yes? Well, I don't understand. I thought there was no dispatcher thread. It's not a dispatcher thread like, hey, here's this task. More like, there's something up above that takes the query that shows up, right? And somebody's got to then put that in the queue. So whatever that is, right? So you can call that a coordinator or a scheduler thread, right? But whatever that thread is not responsible for saying you're going to do this, you're going to do that, they're all pooling themselves. You just need something to flip the bit and say, by the way, like, we added something new. Make sure you go check it out. In the back, yes. So the question is, would the dispatcher be responsible for flipping the bits in the return mask? No. As far as I know, the thread that was responsible for putting the data that computed the result is responsible for flipping the bits on everyone. The question is, why not let the dispatcher handle that? Because now you've got to go tell the dispatcher to go do it. It's just cheaper to go do it yourself. I still don't understand why we're not doing push-versus-pull. This question is, why aren't we doing push-versus-pull? Because when the work is trying to pull from the global task set slots, right? There is locking, yes. OK, sure, we can't get rid of that. But it's wasting cycles to go and ask and look into the global task set slots and say, hey, what do I need to do? And if there is already a thread that the running can change in the bits, it might as well keep track of what the work is doing and then tell it to do stuff. So his statement is, if something is already responsible for putting things in the global task queue, why not just have that thing responsible for telling people what to do? Yes. But then, again, you've got to maintain that. You have to maintain the state somewhere. And they're arguing that it's better to distribute it across the different workers in TLS and have that be, and then to do simple compare and swaps to notify them of the changes that are occurring rather than having a more heavyweight approach of farming out complex messages that they need to process themselves. It's cooperative scheduling. So rather than having one thread be responsible for everything, and potentially that could be more efficient to do with a small number of cores, but this approach is definitely more scalable with a larger number of cores. Okay. Right. So then this thing knows that when it finishes, the task was running, goes back up, looks in the queue, decides that for whatever reason that we'll get the information, looking at the change mask and return mask, what needs to update. It updates its active slot now to say, hey, there's something in one I could go take, and then it decides to run Q3 task at one. And notice here now on worker two, it doesn't know about the Q3 yet. It just knows that a bit got flipped in the first slot, and eventually when I go back and look at the task set, a queue, I'll go learn what that is. So these things can run independently of each other. We're not having to coordinate across all of them, which arguably always going to be better. All right. So we're going to have a few minutes. I'll skip the priority delay, but basically think about it as like there's this notion of this global pass. Just think of the number of times I've passed through or I've executed things. And then I had priorities about, you know, there's queries, I have local priorities based on how much work I've done for this query, and the combination of these things then determines what you want to run. But idea, again, the highlight idea is that as a query runs longer, this priority decays and goes down. All right. So I'll quickly zoom through HANA. Again, this is just a... This is the other end of extreme of complexity. So thinking like Postgres is the easiest one. You just say let the OS do it. The HANA approach here, which again, I think it was a PhD dissertation as somebody that worked at SAP. So I don't think this ever actually made it in the real HANA system, especially if they rewrote it in the late 2010s. But the idea is that, again, HANA does have an easy system to do even more scousing on its own for individual threads and not let the OS do any of that. So this is going to support both workload stealing and pool scaling, meaning within a single... On a single socket, on a single NUMA region, I can add more threads dynamically and not have the limitation of having one thread per, you know, CPU core. I can start adding more and more cores if I think things are going to get stalled on doing, you know, for a variety of reasons. And then they're going to have this notion of a... Two different kind of queues of work. They're going to have a soft queue and a hard queue. A hard queue is going to be tasks that you don't want anybody to steal that has to run in that socket or that NUMA region. So I think it's something like garbage collection for data that's in that NUMA region. You don't want to have that go with the interconnect or like a networking task that has to run on a given socket. But the soft queue will be things that workers are not allowed to steal, similar to the hyper approach when you're doing scans. So everybody said this, we're going to have the soft and hard queue priority queues, but then they're going to have different... Four different worker pools of threads. So you have worker threads that are actively running something, inactive ones that are blocked in the kernel waiting for some kind of conditional lock or conditional variable, a latch. Then you have ones that are free that I wake up a little bit to see what there's anything to do. And then you have a parked threads where you've actually descheduled them and you hand them back to the OS kernel like a sleeper yield. And they are sitting down there and then if you need them, you can spin them up. And the argument here is that it's cheaper to go put some threads down in the scheduler in the OS and let them to sleep down there so that when I need them, I can pick them up and start running with them compared to having to spin up a whole process. I'll spin up a whole thread. So let me skip this real quickly. Basic idea works the same thing as before, that we have a bunch of stuff we want to actually for a query, but now I'm including some maintenance tasks like garbage collection for a multi-version concurrency tool because HANA was an MFCC system. So these queries here, they had to run... You need to run them right now, but they can go in the soft queue because, again, technically any NUMA socket in any region can run them. But then the GCC stuff, say we'll put that in the hard queue. And then the working threads are responsible for executing these active tasks and then the inactive ones, again, these are things that haven't... that are inactive is blocked on something that, like in the kernels, that we can't actually start executing them, but we expect them to wake up fairly soon. Free is going to be one that is spinning all the time, looking for work to do, and the part of the ones that are heavyweight paused down in the kernel. So, again, the free ones are allowed to pull this all the time and define something that is allowed to execute. So, the HANA guys are going to claim that, in their experimentation with this approach, that it was better for the large socket machines to turn off all the work-stealing. So you basically don't put everything always in the hard queue. And that was always better than moving things across different NUMA regions. I would argue that I think the... I like this, I like having all the stuff manage yourself instead of OS doing it. And so for the inactive ones, again, for its OLAP, because maybe this is less of an issue, but if an OLAP system, this makes sense. And HANA was trying to support both OLAP and OLAP, so it made sense to have this sort of different variations of threading. All right, I'm good running through this really fast. I want to show you one last thing about in SQL server, because to me this is this is relevant for high design systems, what? Is it OS? SQL OS? Let me get the background. It's not a full-operated system, right? So, SQL OS is an abstraction layer in SQL server that they built in 2006 that hides the low-level details of hardware and the operating system from the upper parts of the database system. What they built this is that Microsoft observed that every time new hardware was coming out, they had to rewrite all their operating implications to account for whatever the hardware was. Like you had much more cores, they had to rewrite a bunch of stuff. They had a new regions, they had to rewrite a bunch of stuff. And so this abstraction layer allows them to hide those low-level details. And the scheduling and the movement of data can all be managed by this SQL OS thing. So it's not a full-operating system like the Linux kernel or Windows or HBox, whatever. It's just sort of an abstraction layer. But the cool thing that they're going to do is going to do non-preemptive thread scheduling inside the database system. What's another word for non-preemptive thread scheduling? Co-routines. Same idea, right? Where you have the, you have a thread that you're managing threading, multi-threading within the database system itself. But since it's not preemptive, like preemptive means the OS can go steal you, take your hardware thread and give it to someone else. It's, we're all running, all these threads are running within the database system itself, so we can't do that. We can't send it interrupt to ourselves. Like that, right? So that means that in our code itself, we're going to have to go put explicit instructions to yield back to the scheduler to say, hey, by the way, go check to see whether something else could be running inside of me. I mean, they did this back in 2006 before C++ and Go and other programming languages now have built-in support for Co-routines. So there's a great article here at how they built it. I used to say that SQLS allowed Microsoft to make it, to get SQL Server to run on Linux. And I, because again, I abstracted the OS layer. The guy that built SQLS then called me and said that's not true. Actually, their attempt to kind of get SQL Server running in Docker turned out to be what got them to be able to support it. But there's a good article that talks about it. Again, real quick, let me just show you what it looks like. So you have some SQL query like this. They can set their quantum to 4 milliseconds. So say you want to do a sequential scan of this data. Again, approximate query plan would look like this. Evaluate predicate, admit it. What they're going to do is keep track of the time, different parts of the operator while they run, and they check to see whether the elapsed time since they started running is greater than the quantum 4 milliseconds. If yes, they yield back. Now, this is pseudocode. You would not want to do this. Going checking the system clock is expensive. Don't do that. There's hardware instructions to hide that for you. But basically, again, if I know I'm running longer than I need to, I'll go yield. You can do this for other things in your data system too. If you're going to go try to acquire a lock, the lock's not available, instead of your thread spinning and waiting to try to acquire that lock, you yield back. But again, because the data system controls everything, we yield back with not just like, if you yield to the OS, what do you say? Yield, that's it. In the database system, if I'm yielding back to the scheduler, and oh, by the way, I need this lock, don't schedule me until that lock is now available. And when it does, the OS can put you back. So again, complete control of everything if we do this ourselves. So Siegel-S is probably the first one that did this. There's other systems that do this now. SoleaDB just has this frame record C star. FaunaDB does a poor man's version of this. Basically, every time before they read something from disk, they just yield. That's it. And then Corebase is an experimental system out of Simon Fraser University that explicitly does built-in tidal code routines. And there's a video from the SoleaDB guys from a few years ago that talks about their C star thing. Okay. We're well over time. Distributed scheduling, basically all the same problems, but now we're over the network. Right? You laugh. That's really what it is. And then we'll cover work load scaling, dynamic scaling later, but we'll see this snowflake can do both. Some systems can do one's versus the other. All right. Main takeaway. Database systems are beautiful. Don't let the operating system boss you around. Don't let the operating system try to do anything. We want to do everything ourselves. I think the Seagull-S approach is probably the right way to do it. I think it's an overkill for what we're doing in this class, but, you know, it's beautiful. Okay. What's that? Strong will too, yes. Next class, we'll do nothing but hash joins. And then on Monday next week we'll do multi-way joins. We'll do a quick overview that we talked about. We'll do that next week on Monday. And then Wednesday next week will be the project status updates. Okay? Badoom, baby.

any time now. Can I start? Sure Divya, go ahead. Okay. Thank you Lord. Thank you Father for this wonderful time that you've given us Lord to learn deeper, Lord learn more Father Lord so that we can understand Father how really you want us to worship you Lord in our spirit and truth Father Lord. Thank you Lord for the opportunities that you give us Father Lord. Yes Lord when we consider Lord the things happening Father in different parts of the world they don't even have the opportunity to gather Lord. Thank you Father for you've given us Lord this privilege Father Lord to gather together Lord to praise your name Lord to glorify you Father Lord and to learn from your Lord Father Lord. We Lord at this time we commit Father of us Russian and trans Father thank you Lord. Speaking through him Lord to us in the in all the classes Father I pray that the session Father may you speak through him Father may you anoint him Father Lord and empower him Father to Father teach us Lord the deeper biblical truths Father Lord. I pray Lord also for each and every student who are here thank you for bringing them and thank you Lord for all who are planning to join. I pray Father that you open our hearts that we will be receptive Father Lord to your word and we obey you Lord and trust in you and worship you Lord whole heartedly. Yes. In Jesus' name we pray Amen. Amen. Thank you Divya. Thank you for starting us up with prayer. Thank you everybody for joining in. I hope you all are doing well. I hope you all are safe and good. Okay so yeah let's get started. Let me get the notes up here for us. Great so we are in chapter six on becoming a worshipper right that's the chapter we've been looking at. So we finished the first half of the chapter last class in the last sessions so we looked at deeply at the differences between spiritual worship and fleshly worship. If there is true worship that means there is also false worship and which state of the heart is yours. Are you worshiping him in spirit and in truth or are you worshiping the idols that you made up for yourselves okay so that's what we've looked at and the dangers of idol worship or false worship okay and so we closed the last session by looking at the life of Gideon right from Judges chapter six very briefly without going into too much details we see that God calls him to save Israel right from the enemies from the Amalekites and the Midianites and before God leads Gideon into the battle into his promise into his destiny the first thing that God tells him to do is to break down the altars of Baal break down the altars of false worship even before he steps into his destiny of becoming a warrior right so and I believe it's the same for all of us that all of us have you know God has a plan for all of us isn't it he has a destiny for all of us that he wants us to walk into and one of the first steps and one of the first keys for us to stepping into that is bringing down the altars of false worship in our lives and and seeking God for his help and his guidance for us to know the altars of false worship so many many times that we we don't even realize or know that we built up altars of false worship and we need his his light of truth to shine in our hearts for us to realize that isn't it so that's what we looked at in the last class spiritual worship versus fleshly worship okay we now go into the second half of the chapter an example of becoming an extravagant worshipper becoming a worshipper becoming an extravagant worshipper so one of the key scriptures mentioned there is Luke chapter seven was 36 to 50 okay we will go to the gospel of Luke once again if you've heard me speak on this chapter you know what it is all about I apologize because you might have heard me speak on this many many times right an example of an extravagant worshipper okay so let's take a look at Luke chapter seven was 36 to 50 onwards okay 36 to 50 can I request each of each of us to read at four verses each please anybody four verses each Luke chapter seven was 36 onwards someone could start reading us each of us can read four verses Luke chapter seven from verse 36 when one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him he went to the Pharisee's house and declined at the table a woman in the town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house so she came there with an arabistic jar of perfume as she stood behind him at his feet eating she began to wet his feet with her hair then she wiped them with her hair accused them in poor perfume and in the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to him sir if this man were a prophet he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is that she is a sinner okay thank you and Jesus answered him Simon I have something to say to you and he replied say teacher a money lender had two debtors one owed 500 dinari and other 50 when they were unable to repay he graciously forgave them both so which of them will love him more Simon answered and said I suppose the one whom he forgave more and he said to him you have judged correctly turning toward the woman he said to Simon do you see this woman I entered your house you gave me no water for my feet but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair you did not give me a kiss but this woman from the time I entered was not stopped kissing my feet you did not put oil on my head but she has poured perfume on my feet therefore I tell you her many sins have been forgiven as her great love has shown but whoever has been forgiven um little lost little then Jesus said to her your sins are forgiven okay can you read the 49 and 50 as well let's finish it off the other guests began to say among themselves who is this who even forgives the sin Jesus said to the woman your faith has saved you go in peace thank you Priya thank you everyone for pitching in to read okay so we just read from verse 36 to 50 right almost 14 verses 15 verses um so from from just that first glance of going through that scripture right can you all just share what kind of stands out to you from just the first time reading the passage what stands out what stood out I think it's uh for me it was verse 45 where Jesus responds to Simon saying uh you gave me no kiss but this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet since the time I came in you did not anoint my head with oil but this woman has anointed my feet with fragrant oil yeah so that really uh you know uh how much we take for granted sometimes yeah thanks to you yeah how much we take for granted okay let's make a note of that granted uh what are these guys come on come on just unmute and feel free to speak for me it's verse 48 and Jesus said to her your sins are forgiven I think uh she didn't even ask Jesus to forgive her sins she came and she kept loving Jesus and she kept wiping and kissing him but Jesus with all his love he came he knew that she's here for something and he knows everything before we even ask him so that's that awesome thank you jeffina lubega I guess I also think that uh there is these people had a there is what we call stereotyping in communication where you don't look at the good over what a person has done but you judge a person before in action so you look at these people the disciples did judge this lady because of her past yet I think Jesus Christ was judging her because of her present not because they just had grace on her because I I think that God does not judge us because of our past because of our present or our future he judges us because he loves us because he has grace for us no matter what we did in the past what we do today or what we shall do tomorrow he is always in the same position what we call the love position and the grace position thank you so much awesome thank you lubega thank you so much uh very guys anybody else for me what stands out is the attitude of the woman um in uh forgetting who is around and who is uh uh doing what uh she poured out herself and uh when she's not uh remembering men uh that she is a sinner or uh what others look at her i mean that attitude of worship touched me yeah thank you priya you're not not uh not thinking too much about the people around her yeah awesome awesome i want more guys i won't i want to hear you all more it's interesting can i share can i share yes please go ahead sorry i thought i yeah for me it's like uh the washing of jesus feet was an art of cleansing like we said and it was an art of outpouring of her spirit in the art of worship but that was not standing because cleanliness or cleansing is part of worship traditional setting in the animal thank you thank you isaac thank you okay anybody else georgia anita aradna it's a good note niki uh can i share one more thing sure there yeah yeah i also love the fact that how she is uh you know um for her the cost of the uh is it yeah the alabaster yes oh no with the tears portion right okay okay yeah i was just thinking of like how uh she just surrenders right she is not um the humility uh that she exhibits there um even as priya was sharing right uh she's not at all concerned about what is happening around her she's just focused on the person of jesus christ so yeah yeah that's awesome yeah amazing thank you thank you just one more person one more one more person okay can i yes please here actually i want to talk about Pharisees and they are the leaders that time and maybe uh if we think about our lives now we are the people who are leading people to christ and that day actually Pharisees they have invited jesus but jesus has not told them that your sins has forgiven and uh he has also not said that um your faith has helped right so we as leaders also need to be very careful when we are leading people to christ it should not happen that other people they will be saved and we will be in darkness so we need to actually learn from Pharisees that we should not be like them awesome thank you so yeah different perspectives and i mean we could go through each and everybody yeah you know just just to hear the different perspectives and it'll all be amazing right so i want yeah thanks thanks guys thanks for just sharing your thoughts in your your perspective your view on this chapter right um like this is um this has to be one of my favorite a passage recorded in the bible uh and one of the things also why i like luke i mean among the gospel every gospel has its own beauty uh you know every gospel because it's written by a person right luke is not just a random computer given name it's it's a name of a person that resembles that means it's talking about um you know every person who writes have their own way you know for writing a song or a poem or saying a story isn't it it's like an artist right they all have their style of saying and then if when you read through the gospels uh very carefully the matthew mark luke and john um there are similarities uh you know but in that similarities there's there is a touch of of their personal life of their personal character of their who they are right and uh and luke in many ways is known as a gospel as luke uh jesus as a friend of sinners that's how luke portrays it and and also in many ways uh luke also tries to honor and protect women in the way he writes and you know his stories um the way i say that is in the way he honors is if you again i think in last week's mentoring hour there was a question about the difference between the genealogy of jesus in in matthew and luke and you see luke writes from the perspective genealogy of mary right he connects jesus from and he wants to you know kind of honor her you know elevate her so to speak and in here in many ways and i don't want to go into the details in this passage is luke is kind of uh protecting the name of this person now there's a huge debate uh again i don't want to go into the details of it about what the name of this person could be in you know because the name of this person is mentioned uh in other gospels which is mary right and the debate is uh you know is it is this a different woman or is this is at mary and whatnot so i i don't really want to get into all of that we can have the theological discussions uh later time but um but just looking at this one chapter right without uh i mean if for your own personal uh you know meditation or whatnot okay you can read this chapter 3650 you can also read uh please make a note of it john chapter 12 verse one two seven okay john chapter 12 verse one two seven and uh the same is mentioned in mark in the gospel of mark chapter 14 verse three to nine mark chapter 14 verse three to nine and then in matthew chapter 26 verse 7 matthew chapter 26 verse 7 okay um i mean just like there is uh the different groups that are divided about you know different things of the bible you know like there are different denominations and whatnot like even eschatology for that matter right you know about the end times there are different sex different groups who believe in post-tribulation pre-tribulation and all of that um um thanks yes matthew yeah so i mean all of those references talks about the same thing of where the the woman annoins uh jesus with the perfume okay it all talks about that and i this is what i believe okay you don't have to believe what i'm saying and i believe when you read through it uh the gospels and that the holy spirit talked to you and and with some some research as well i believe it's the same person um i believe it's mary but uh and one of the confusion that uh that kind of that that's created this divide is because uh if you read the previous chapter of luke luke chapter six it talks about jesus is up north in israel somewhere in galilee galilee is north northern part of israel right and uh and every other gospels that you know john and matthew and mark talks about mary of bethany which is bethany is down south of israel right so and because this thing this chapter in luke comes immediately after chapter six okay you know the chapter six talks about jesus being in galilee and it's and uh and he must i mean he must still be there so it's it's not it's not possible that it's mary from bethany who's you know who who are knowing to jesus because jesus is up in the north that's the understanding but um one of the key factors which is very important for us to understand is that the gospel of luke is not written chronologically uh while the gospel of mark is the closest to the chronological order to record events of what happened in jesus's life but so luke is everywhere right you know that uh i don't like that so you see but uh you know he confuses the reader but uh he's one moment he was he's over here and the other moment he uses okay let me add in there you know it's it's his way of writing it's his style of writing but when you compare okay uh when you just do enough research you understand uh i mean i kind of believe that's the same person but let's not get there now okay um that's just a big context guys before we just look at this text now when we look at this text luke chapter seven was 36 onwards from 36 to 50 it's kind of divided into three episodes right from chapter from verse 36 to 38 is one scene that's scene one uh and from 39 to 43 is seen two and from 44 to all the way to 50 is another scene okay so let's look at the the first scene scene one 36 now it says now one of the Pharisees invited jesus to have dinner with him so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table okay now every time we see that uh you know with jesus traveling like you know he was a preacher and teacher who went from town to town to town to town traveling preaching the gospel the good news and whatnot right and then he would preach at the synagogues and then again customary to host the teacher the traveling teacher or the preacher in one of the houses uh and and that's kind of what's happening here okay now jesus is being invited and if you read the gospel of john uh in this record it says a feast was held in honor of jesus okay in honor of jesus so and that's what's happening so jesus goes to this Pharisee's house uh and uh he reclined at the table now again going back to those days people would not sit upright like this on a nice chair at the table the round table or a beautiful square table uh you know for dinner it says he reclined and if you've seen one of those recliners that we have in modern days is put your feet up everything you're kind of reclining okay that's also not the way he's reclining so it's like a low bed on the ground and so if you're a right hey if you're a right-handed you'll be resting on your left shoulder with your feet stretched on the on a bed like this so he's reclining like this sorry guys again so he'll help himself uh you know with his right hand to break bread or dip it in a sauce or whatever okay so that's what's happening that's the position or the posture jesus is and he's a reclined he's pretty casual he's pretty chilled out okay and this event is also like an open house what do i mean by that is when again a preacher or a teacher a rabbi you know from another town was in place was in their town and if he was invited everybody from that community would also come into the house they were all invited that's why it's called an open house like you know you everybody were welcomed also although they were like a separate room where the guest was actually you know being hosted the living room the garden area everything would you know would be filled with people who wants to come and see the rabbi say hello say hi you know etc etc so everybody is there a lot of people are there jesus is reclined at the table Pharisee a Pharisee has invited okay then it goes on to say verse 37 when he was reclined at the table when a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town in that town learned that jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house she brought an alabaster jar of perfume okay let's pause so in the bible again every time this sinful life is recorded right it's uh the new living translation will tell a certain immoral life a woman came in who lived a certain immoral life okay that is only pointing towards one thing okay that is prostitution okay this bible college class are we supposed to be talking mentioning those words bible doesn't hide anything and if you're uncomfortable i can't help you okay so putting aside diplomacy she was a prostitute who lived a sinful life okay who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house she brought an alabaster jar of perfume and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping she began to wet his feet with her tears then she wiped them with her hair kissed them and poured perfume on them and poured perfume on them okay so we are still in scene one she uh we need to put ourselves in her shoes guys okay all of us okay guys and girls we need to put ourselves in her shoes there is this entire town or village in this person's house and this person is a Pharisee it's not just another person right um he's he's the student of the world he serves in the temple right in a synagogue it's a Pharisee's house there are a lot of people what must be running through her head her mind like you know Priya mentioned she did not worry about people isn't it but just think of her her journey from her house to this person's house just passing through every individual and if she and i'm guessing you know her heart is beating hard it's pounding you know out of her chest um and everybody in the town knows and recognizes who she is and it is also possible that if she looked up and saw she could recognize certain people you know who was involved with her but then she puts all that aside and she brings this alabaster jar and something about this perfume okay guys is uh it was an imported perfume and if you know anything about import it's expensive right and another beautiful fact is that this perfume was exported from the northern northeastern part of India or Nepal okay so it's made from one of the key ingredients was a pink color flower or so which is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas then it's crushed and it's put in this beautiful jar okay it's not just uh like you know one of the glass bottles that we have now it's it's a beautiful beautiful and a very expensive jar just that jar is expensive you know with the regardless without the perfume inside it is expensive okay now another historian says that this perfume was used by the temple prostitutes as well this was used uh you know to lure men in okay once again i forgot to put my phone on airplane mode done sorry so this perfume was used to lure men to uh is another word isn't it seduce men into you know so this is the perfume that's it's being talked about here as well okay now perfume was used very vastly in the sculpture so i'm just showing one of the reasons now if she's bringing an alabaster jar uh it was for you know used for this purpose as well so she brings that jar and she stood behind his feet weeping she began to wet his feet with her tears then she wiped them with her hair kissed them and poured perfume on them now in the gospel of mark when you read this passage uh you know that one of the reference that i gave it says she broke the alabaster jar she does not open it she breaks it okay now if this is the jar it's just a flash no if i just opened it uh you know i have control over how much i want to pour isn't it yeah i mean so i have a glass and if i want to pour something in it i have control over how much i want to pour yes or no but when the version says that she breaks the alabaster jar it simply means that she's not surrendering some she's not surrendering just 90 percent she's saying i don't want to have any control over my past she breaks it at his feet right uh another scholar says she was giving up the trick of her trade you know like every profession every trade has a trick isn't it hey this is the trick of my trade you know this is what gets me more business more success in my trade she was willing to give up the trick of her trade she was willing she was just saying that i am not going back to my old life so she stood she stood you know behind him his uh him she was weeping at his feet and she began to wet his feet with her tears um why is tears recorded you know we need to ask that question isn't it uh there's so many things about the bible the details that it records and we need to ask why is it there why is her tears recorded what's the big deal about her tears uh you know and the bible says he collects our tears in a bottle isn't it and one of the psalms i forget the psalm if you if you can just you know put it in the chat section it'll be helpful he says he collects our tears in a bottle uh and one of my friends this is again going back to 2011 she said she wrote an article about this it says when she was worshiping him when she just weeping at his feet with her tears she was giving jesus something that we cannot give him in heaven in heaven in revelation if when you read it says the day will come where he's going to wipe away all our tears all our shame all our pain it's all going to be gone so in heaven there's not going to be any tears and so when we worship him with our tears in our pain uh in through our sorrows through our struggles we are giving him something that we cannot give him in heaven isn't that beautiful so is your worship costing you something that you will not be giving him in heaven and that's why it is so precious and it's recorded and that's now now it makes sense like thanks divya it says now it makes sense why he records our tears in a bottle because we are giving him something we cannot give him in heaven and it was a couple of weeks ago i was speaking with one of the persons from we have a setup team in church right and i was talking about is like hey how are you managing do we have enough people in the team to help and come and set up you know you've been doing this every week why don't you take a rest his response was so casual and but just so profound he said no boss i you know we can't do all of this you know when we go to heaven we were not even having like a serious spiritual talk but out of you know no way he says you know we we we i can't you know we can't do this in heaven or you get this chance here to to roll the cables to you know plug everything to set up everything and uh oh man that that hit me hit me you know beautifully and it again reminded me of this is for us to look for ways look for opportunities to worship him in ways that we cannot worship him in heaven and that is precious and that is what is happening here is she breaks the alabaster jar uh at his feet she was willing to give up the trick of her trade um and she kissed his feet wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair wiped them with her hair right you guys with me that's scene one now the scene shifts from verse 39 yes priya yeah we'll we'll look at that as well verse 39 when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself that means in his thoughts right if this man were a prophet he would know who was touching him and what kind of woman she is that she is a sinner okay this expectation of the prophet knowing is a valid expectation is because every prophet of the old right were they were known to know things okay what what is the king of syria doing what is the king of you know israel doing so he would know of course god would give him the word of knowledge and wisdom to know so and that is the expectation here as well is that if this man was a prophet as he claims he would know who was touching him and what kind of a man she is simon did know who he was hosting okay and then jesus is like okay simon i have something to tell you so simon must be like finally you have something to say yes go ahead and say you know because she's doing something that is very awkward and inappropriate we are all just you know quiet over here you know nudging each other i'm i'm glad you have something to tell yes please go ahead and he's thinking that he's going to confront but that doesn't happen isn't it verse 40 simon jesus answered him simon i have something to tell you tell me teacher he said verse 41 two men owed money to a certain money lender one owed him 500 dinari and another 50 neither of them had the money to pay him back so he canceled the debt of both now which of them will love him more verse 43 says simon replied i suppose the one who had a bigger debt canceled you have judged correctly jesus said okay another important you know why is jesus is using this parable and where money and debt is used as an example again now once again if you read the lord's prayer or the sinner's prayer as we call it in the in the in the gospel of matthew and in the gospel of luke again it's the same aramaic word that's where you that's used for debt and sinners okay so that's why when we pray some versions say like forgive our debts as we forgive who are debts against us right and then now there's another translation that says forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us so it comes from the same root word which has two meaning where debt is equal to sin and sin was equivalent to debt okay so so jesus is just narrating the story to the Pharisee in the scene too jesus read his heart he knew the intentions of his heart he knew that the atmosphere was something it was not right there's something strange about it and then verse 44 then he turned toward the woman and said to simon so he's looking at the woman but he's talking to simon it's like an epic movie scene is happening isn't it he turned toward the woman but he's speaking to simon and he's saying do you see this woman i came into your house you did not give me any water for my feet but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair you did not give me a kiss but this woman from the time i entered has not stopped kissing my feet you did not put oil on my head but she has poured perfume on my feet therefore i tell you her many sins now you know we see the connection of sins and debt isn't it i tell you how many sins have been forgiven for she loved much but he who has been forgiven little loves little okay um again to set the cultural context of those days is it was uh like you know in the Indian culture if a guest comes in the least we could do give that guest is a glass of water right that's just hosting the guest well that's showing our courtesy you know so in similarly in their day and age in their culture if a guest came home it was customary to wash give water to wash their feet because it would be very dusty from the travel from the road they traveled and it was also customary to kiss their hand okay that was also a symbol and also give them a little bit of perfume to you know on the to just put on their palm or their hands a little bit so everything that this woman did was offensive her breaking the perfume was considered a waste why because it's like hey you don't break the alabaster jar you don't give everything you know he's not that important this guest is not that worth it you know but then seems like she knew how worthy jesus was and so she gives it all and then another very offensive thing that she does is she lets her hair down and so according to the Talmud right that's one of the docs documents of the the Hebrew people if a woman lets her hair down and if she was married the husband has enough reason to file a divorce against her in public if she if she let her hair down in public now obviously she'd not have to worry about that but it was yet very offensive okay and let alone like everybody knew the fact that she was an adulterous woman and she was a prostitute but here's the thing is I just want to pause here before we conclude this session is another other gospels other references says that why this waste it's one year's wages right no I just mentioned that this was that we all know that she's an adulterous woman she used the perfume can be could have used the perfume to I said use an allure men and you know into prostitution as well and so when we say that was one year's wages how do you think she earned those wages I hope you guys are listening to me how do you think she earned those wages I believe it at that and so this the act of this woman is she goes against everything that society you know that culture and the people there understands about worship she almost redefines everything and in the in the gospel of Matthew it says what this woman did what this woman did will be in you know will be remembered wherever my gospel is shared it's amazing isn't it by Jesus doesn't say you know Peter will be remembered for what he did wherever my gospel is preached Apostle Paul will be remembered John will be remembered all these 12 disciples will be remembered for wherever he doesn't say that but he says what she did will be spoken about in memory of her that means Jesus wanted her to be remembered and that's and we can talk about this passage for years and years and years and we might still not fully understand the depth and the beauty of what's happening here right and finally in conclusion it says that she wiped his feet with her hair she must have come in she did what she did and she was going back now i'm just saying it's not in the bible but just think about it as she's walking back as she's walking outside i'm wondering you know people asking each other hey is that fragrance coming from the feet of Jesus or is it coming from her hair right the whole room everybody in the house inside and out knew that she was very intimately close with Jesus and now the fragrance of Jesus has that was on Jesus has been rubbed off on her with her hair she came in she came in as a prostitute but she is now walking out as an extravagant worshiper she has since have been forgiven without her even asking verbally asking for forgiveness we talk about actions speaking louder than words it seems like a right place to use isn't it and so that's the beauty of worship is that when you've been intimate with Jesus the person your friend your family the world your congregation will know that you've been with Jesus because the fragrance of Jesus has been rubbed off on you and we see paul writing that in the book of Corinthians is that he is the fragrant one so there is this fragrance you know that is on Jesus that gets rubbed off on us when we spend that intimate time when you know with him in worship okay one of the very important can we just quickly go to Matthew chapter 21 please and i'm i know we've just gone a minute i'll give you an extra time for the break i apologize Matthew chapter 21 hr i see the question yeah Matthew 21 verse 31 and 32 Matthew chapter 21 verse 31 and 32 okay let me read it for you it says Jesus said to them i tell you the truth the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of god ahead of you for john came to you to show you the way of righteousness and you did not believe him but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did even after you saw this you did not repent and believe him that means it tells something that john the baptist as he was preaching sinners would listen to him and two among them were tax collectors and prostitutes would listen to his sermon his sermon his preaching what did he preach repent for the kingdom of god is near and then other thing he says is i baptize you with water but the one comes after me baptizes you will baptize you with fire that was his message and they believe that and so jesus makes this bold statement saying prostitutes will enter before you guys because they believe right and it is not a surprise when we see again in the genealogy of jesus in Matthew there are two prostitutes mentioned isn't it it's Rahab from Jericho and then Tamar who prostitutes herself with her father-in-law and that is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus bible doesn't hide anything and if there's something in the bible that means there's something for us to learn and there's something god wants to teach us and i believe in closing of this section god wants us to become an extravagant worshipper an extravagant worshipper who will come to him who will just first take that first step and come bring yourself to him don't run away and then break your alabaster jar don't just open it don't try to have control over it but break it and that is the meaning of the hymn that we sing i surrender all isn't it break it at his feet and as you spend that intimate time with him his fragrance will get rubbed off on you and everybody all your friends your family will know that you've been with Jesus and they will know that you are a worshipper and just like her you will be remembered for what you are what you've done not how many meetings or crusades you've had but how much time you've spent with Jesus amen and so as students as students i want to encourage us all that we would become extravagant worshippers and that we will not hold back you know everything in our worship okay um that's uh that's the end of this session we'll try and recap a little bit more in the next section but for now i know we've gone five minutes overboard i apologize please take extra five minutes for your break and i'll see you at 10 05 i guess indian standard time all right take it guys

Don’t miss out! Join us at our next event: KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 in Valencia, Spain from May 17-20. Learn more at https://kubecon.io The conference features presentations from developers and end users of Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy, and all of the other CNCF-hosted projects.
Unraveling the Mystery of Versioning CRDs - Harsh Thakur, Civo
CRDs have given birth to a lot of projects by extending Kubernetes. As these projects grow, the definitions of the resource start to evolve and maybe completely change, thus requiring versioning of CRDs. Versioning of CRDs can be tough as the end users need to be provided with seamless upgrades, zero downtime and backwards compatibility. Have you asked yourself questions like: “Do I need a conversion webhook if I am just changing the validations?” , “How do I migrate the existing CRs to the new version?” .This talk aims to explain the CRD lifecycle and help users quickly catch up with the changes happening in the CRD ecosystem.

Hello everyone, my name is Harsh and today I will be talking about CID versioning. A little bit about me, I am a developer Civo Cloud which is a blazingly fast-minus QNIT provider. I am also a maintainer at OpenEBS which is a CNCF Sandbox storage project. I am also a Hashacope ambassador and a real deal of playing chess. So getting right into it, CID versioning is a lot like any other API versioning conventions. So you typically do not want to add a required field in the same version or change the name and types of the existing fields because that would break the end user specs. And the reasons for wanting to change names and types of the fields are to simplify user inputs for better validations or simply because you want to evolve to the new API conventions. For example, Kubernetes sub-resource status has evolved from using phases to using conditions. There are times when you do not really need to operate as well and that is when you want to add optional fields as that would not break the end user specs and change validations. And by that I mean validations which do not break the existing defaults of the specs. So when it comes to CID versioning there are two views for it. As an end user we always export to the server version and server versions can be more than one whereas the stored version is what is really stored in HCD and it can only be one. So the API can read the stored version from HCD and represent it in multiple versions to us and we look at how it does that but essentially all you need to know is that stored version can always only be one. So when it comes to conversion strategy there are two of them. The first one is really a last mile change where you want to just bump up the API version and there are no schema changes in your CRDs. The second one is what we really think about when we think about conversion strategy and we look at how it works. So I have a little demo and in this demo I will have two versions V1 and V2 and in the beginning V1 would be the stored version and when user requests V2 view of the object what happens is the API reads the object from HCD and V1 it has a conversion web book which we have written and I will show that in a moment but the conversion web book would then throw back the object to API in V2 as it has some conversion functions and the API then returns back the output to the user. Now what I have done is I have scaffolded this project using cube builder, I even played along with the basic example of guest book all I have done is I have added this field full name in the V1 of the spec and in V2 of the spec I have added, I have spread the field into full name and last name, first name and last name. Other than that what I have done is I have added this cube builder marker which I realized I am on the wrong branch so let me switch up to V1 and I have added this cube builder marker which says that V1 is supposed to be the stored version. Other than that I have the conversion web book in place and we look at what this conversion package does in a moment but all I really want to show at this moment is the conversion functions where I read the fields, make it into one field and then assign the object metadata and that's typically how conversion would look like. And in case you have functions which lose data between versions you want to store them into the annotations of the field of the CR and that's because the versioning follows the concept of lossless conversion where you want the users to roll back to the older version as well because when we introduce a new version we set the old version as a stored version as that would give time to the users to upgrade to the new version and that's the reason we have assigned the V1 as a stored version whilst V2 is not and we look at that in CR and CRD and hope it will make a lot more sense than me just saying words. So if you look at this we have the V1 and it has served and storage as true and this is how you typically introduce a new version you set the older version to be the stored version and the newer version is just introduced and without adding any markers it by default it's set as the server version. So now I'm going to create a simple example. So as an end user I can create right now objects in V1 and V2 and we'll do that. So in the V1 I have a simple example, a dashboard sample and I'm giving it the older field of full name as it is the V1 spec and case alias for kubectl. So we've created this example now let's try to view it. So we can see that the object is written in V2 instead of V1 even though the stored version is V1 and that's because clients like kubectl always prefer the newer version, higher version. So that's the reason we got back the object in V2 but if we really want to look at how the object looks in V1 we can still do that. So now you can see the object in V1 and this really encourages clients to start using V2 as they see the object in V2 always and now we look at what I meant previously by what the conversion package previously did. So in the beginning when the conversion package wasn't there we had to write conversion functions between each of the API versions and what that meant is suppose we had three CRD versions V1, V2 and V3, we had to write conversion function for converting V1 to V2 and V3, V2 to V1 and V3 and V3 to V1 and V2 and that's Lexix conversion functions but with this hub and spoke model what we can do is we can have a centrally placed hub version and any conversion that needs to happen it needs to happen via this hub version. So in that previous example I spoke about if V2 wants to convert itself to V3 it will first have to convert itself to V1 and then to V3. So it only means that you have to write four conversion functions in this case because V1 needs to convert itself to V2 and V3 and V2 and V3 convert themselves to V1. So for the next part what we've just seen was the conversion happening from V1 to V2 but there are existing objects like in the one I've just created it was created in V1. So we need to bump that up to V2 as well as that's a CR not a CRD and it's analogous to classes and objects in object-oriented programming. So in order to do that there's this component known as storage version migrator which does that for us it probes the API discovery document every 10 minutes and looks at the new desired story version and bumps up the existing objects to that version or you can manually just patch all the objects and the specs or something and do it or have a custom program to do it. So I'm just going to do that right now I'm going to switch up to V2 and I'm going to install and in V2 what I've done is I've just set the new V2 as the stored version and I'll show you that. So as we can see V1 is still being served but now the story is set to false and V2 is storage version now and clients can now create objects and still they can create objects in V1 and V2 but in the end of the day objects inside HAD would be stored in V2 and to check that storage version migrator has the component known as CR known as storage version migration and we can take a look at that storage version migrations and if I can find this book in here or we can see that the status has succeeded. So this means that all the objects in that CD are now migrated to V2. So now that we have done that the next part what we'll be doing is since all the objects have been migrated to V2 and all the new objects will also be in V2 since that's the new stored version we can now deprecate the V1 and in order to do that what I've done is I've added this marker and so version which basically said served equals false and we'll look at the CRD as well and before I jump ahead I did forget to mention that this file is also scaffolded using QBuilder and in order to declare that V1 is the hub version I just had this one liner where I mentioned the type which is guestbook which is the V1 type of V1 of the object and hub is just a interface which we'll be using in order for the conversion package to work so that we can do something like this and now that we have installed let's look at our CRD now. Did I not installed it? Oh yeah, I have not installed it. Now let's view that. Yep, we can see that served is false and stored is false and served and storage are true. Now what this means is that we can no longer view our objects in V1 and I'll show that. So by default we again get V2 as always a higher version is preferred but when we try to view it in V1 it just doesn't work which makes sense because now we have replicated the version. So we have followed this whole process of deprecating a version where we introduced the newer version to be served first the older version is still the storage version and then we set the new version to be the storage version and in the end we stop serving the old version now we can also proceed and stop serving in the next release we can stop so we can remove it from the CRD itself and also drop the conversion with book support or if you choose to you can still keep it and clients wouldn't have to have this intermediate conversion when you try to do releases that's because of the hub and spoke model so they can directly convert from V1 to V3 instead of having to first upgrade to V2 and then to V3. I've provided all the references and a lot of the scaffolding I've I'll recommend that inside the GitHub repo and it's basically what I've followed from KubeBuilder docs other than that there's official documentation about CRD versioning in KubeBundit's docs and there's the GitHub repo for the demo and I've also linked the storage version migrator component and for non-KubeBuilder or pretty SDK projects which may not even use a controller runtime I have provided a sample or someone has already made of about how the conversion will work in this older projects you can reach out to me at Twitter, LinkedIn, Medium or my email and I'll be glad to answer any questions or discuss anything more. Thank you.

Next one is Michael addition. We also call it as 1,4 addition, 1,4 addition. Possible when one of the carbonyl compound is conjugate carbonyl compound, conjugate carbonyl compound. You see this reaction suppose we have R C double bond O C H 2 C double bond O plus C H 3 C H double bond C H C double bond O R or H ok double bond O ok. Now this R and this reaction takes place in presence of a base right. And solvent if you have to take, solvent will be conjugate acid of this B H ok. This R can be, this R can be it can be hydrogen also instead of this R you can take or you can also take O R. Esther also you can take for this reaction ok. Means if it is there aldehyde H C double bond O or O R C double bond O like this. Then we will have the same similar kind of reaction nothing change there right. Now you see this aldehyde is conjugated yes or no pi sigma pi right. This is conjugated aldehyde. So mechanism everything exactly same but in case of conjugation what happens this carbon won't take part in the reaction that is what you need to understand right. So what happens here you see first of all this carbon this C H 2 is active methylene group yes or no. Active methylene group you know what is active methylene group, methylene group is C H 2 ok, methylene group is C H 2. So when this C H 2 has two electron withdrawing group present. If you remember in toteminism we have done it right. Two methylene active in suppose this side also we have C H 3 and this side also we have C H 3. So if you see the acidity of this hydrogen this hydrogen and this hydrogen which one is more most acidic hydrogen the center one because both group is withdrawing electron. So for this carbon it is very easy to lose H plus correct. So this kind of group where C H 2 present between the two electron withdrawing group we call it as active methylene group C H 2 is already methylene right. It is active methylene group so if H plus has to come out in this molecule it will come from the middle carbon right. The active methylene group carbon because that hydrogen is most acidic hydrogen correct. So what happens here again you see the mechanism is same the only thing is what we need to generate the carbon ion which behaves as a nucleophile and that attacks on to the other molecule. What we are doing in the last reaction is that C N minus attack and then hydride shift and then we will get carbon ion and that carbon ion attacks on to the molecule right. So here we have to do the same thing. So what happens here this base takes H plus right. And where will this H plus come from which H plus is most acidic right. This H plus is most acidic right. So it takes H plus from this carbon and we will get a carbon ion here right and then this carbon ion attacks on which carbon. Other reaction if you see when there is no conjugation the carbon ion were attacking on to the carbonyl carbon. But since there is a conjugation so this will attack on to this carbon this pi shift over here and this electron shift over here. This pi is in resonance right. So this comes over here this goes here this goes here right. So this attack of this carbon ion takes place on the fourth carbon by fourth carbon because we are counting from this one. This is nothing related to our nomenclature one four the number is not related to nomenclature. It is just first position is this second is this third is this and fourth is this. And that is why we are calling it as one four addition. So Michael addition is just a name it is basically one comma four addition right. So when it attacks over here right this carbon also when you draw this electron here and here this positive charge resonance is stabilized right. That is why we will get more stable carbocation and hence it acts over here right. So basically you have to keep this in mind the reason is that stability only but when we have aldehyde or ketone is in conjugation right. And then the attack of this carbonyl carbon or sorry the carbon ion takes place on to the fourth carbon right. On to the fourth carbon because this is in resonance with this okay. So can you write down the mechanism first step what you do base takes h plus from this you will get lone pair negative charge here. And then second step it attacks on to this carbon this pi electron shift over here right on this two step first. I will write down this once we try this one step okay. So the first step what happens R C double bond O CH2 C double bond OR and base takes this hydrogen the product will be R C double bond O CH negative. The second step of the reaction the carbon ion attacks on this aldehyde conjugated aldehyde CH3 CH double bond CH C double bond OH. This attacks on to this carbon fourth carbon this comes over here and this pi electron shift on to this oxygen. So it forms R C double bond O CH C double bond OR and then we will get CH1 methyl group is here CH double bond CO minus okay. The next step from the solvent that is BH this oxygen gets protonates from the solvent in B minus it will be there in the solvent right. So it will be R C double bond O CH C double bond OR CH CH3 CH double bond CH OH. This is in all form yes or no in all okay in all in all form. So whenever we have in all form we will try to write keto form so must take care of this if you are getting this and in the option keto form is given. So try to write down keto form from in all form because keto is it is in general more stable right if there is no other factor like aromaticity right. So this after this the last step is the keto in all tautomerism okay. How do we write keto in all tautomerism? The H plus comes out from the first carbon first atom and attach on to the third so it is one three addition right triad we call it as. You have done this one triad triad and space total right it is triad this H comes out leaves this one pair of electron to this carbon. So if I write down this H is here this comes over here right this pi electron comes over here and it takes this H plus on this carbon. So product of this reaction will be R C double bond O CH C double bond OR CH CH3 CH2 C double bond O. So how do we write down the product because again mechanism you are not going to write in the exam okay. So karna gaya yaha saying we will take this H plus out okay and we add this here on to this carbon third carbon right. Everything will be as it is double bond or triad okay and this carbon attached with this carbon right. So one four addition if you get this compound one four addition karna directly if I write down this two will be as it is. Directly write down the product R C double bond O this is active with highly group CH and this attached with this thing will be same C double bond OR. And this attached with the fourth atom here so fourth atom is this which is carbon CH and this carbon we have this CH3. This CH3 will be here single bond CH single bond C double bond OH. Now this carbon the valence is not complete so write down simply here that is what the product we have okay. Not that important only thing you need to keep in mind if it is conjugation then one four addition over. Write down the product in this reaction try to write it on directly don't write mechanism okay. The reagent you see the reagent we have if you have OET present then the reagent will be the salt of this ET O minus NE plus. And the solvent of this is what ET OH okay. Other reagent we are using here is H plus H2 and in the last step we are heating this one. So one thing you take care here if it is OET then we will take the salt of this group only right OR if it is there then we take the salt with respect to that group. Next step H plus H2 also we are not using H plus H2. So what is the product we get the fourth carbon is this one two three four right and carbon I will get here under this carbon negative charge. So this carbon and this carbon will attach right. So the product is directly if I write down the product will have double bond O then CH 2 CH. CH CH CH CH see the whole bond O C double bond O OET and C double bond O OET is it connected yes殺 Balakar. Because this is the reaction that we did just now, one for addition, this is. And in that reaction, we are not using H plus H2. So, when you use H plus H2, this reaction is not different from it. This is the product of the first agent that we are using. If you use H plus H2 further, then this will, this H plus protonates this OAT and OAT. And finally, ETOH comes out and will get acid over it, CO1, CO2. See, this happens. You have to remember this. I will explain the mechanism here. Suppose you have this C double bond O, OR. Okay? H plus H2O, okay? So, this reaction, first of all, this OR gets protonates and it forms C double bond O, ORH positive charge. Okay? Now, this takes this bond pair of electron and it forms C double bond O, positive charge and ROH. I am just writing it down to make you understand this. Okay? The exact mechanism is not linked. Okay? And then on this positive charge, the H2O behaves as a nucleophile and it attacks on the electron. And it converts into C double bond O, OH2 plus. And the final step one happens to stabilize this positive charge. H plus comes out and it converts into C double bond O. The final product of this is what? Acetic hydrolysis of electron. It is an acid plus alcohol. Okay? Acetic hydrolysis of ester gives you acid and alcohol. So, when you do the acetic hydrolysis of this, you get what? All these things will be same and we get double bond O, CH2, CH, C double bond O, OH, C double bond O, OH plus what we get? Two molecules of ET, OH, acid and alcohol. Okay? Now, when you heat this, because we are heating this also. So, when you heat this and the carbon contains di-carboxylic acid, right? So, di-carboxylic acid, if you heat when it contains only one carbon in between, then CO2 molecules comes out. It is heating effect of compounds. Okay? If there is two carbon in between, you must have remembered this reaction. This is very important, okay? Because where it is, it is H2O-eliminate. Look at it. It is H2O-eliminate. It is CO2-eliminate. Right? So, what you have to keep in mind when the carbon, number of carbon atom is one in between the two carboxylic group, right? Suppose this is the reaction. Suppose I write this. Look at anhydride formation of C double bond O, OH, C double bond O, OH. Okay? Suppose this is the reaction. Okay? Now, when you heat this, in this case, what happens? H2O molecules goes out. So, you are getting what? Thalic anhydride. This one is thalic acid and we get thalic anhydride from this. Okay? So, what you have to keep in mind in case of di-carboxylic acid, if two carbon atom is present in between, the two carboxylic group, right? Two carboxylic acid group. Then H2O molecules goes out in the reaction, if you heat this. Okay? Or, if there is one carbon atom, then CO2 molecules goes out. Okay? It is very important. Only one carbon present, heat this CO2 molecules goes out. So, the final product of this reaction is what? CH3. When you heat this, any one of the CO2 molecules goes out and the product will be double bond O here, CH2, CH2, C double bond O. So, I can't load the CO2 molecule. Why is there no tissue? See, then for that, you need to understand the mechanism. Actually, what I have, which has a mechanism. I will tell you. See, when you heat this, because they are not using any reaction. So, one of the hydrogen atom, either this hydrogen or this hydrogen. Right? One of the hydrogen atom comes out, leaving this electron pair behind. Okay? So, after C double bond O double bond O. Or, this carbon will have what? Negative charge. Negative charge on it. Okay? Carbon has five bonds, so negative charge. Right? After this, this bond pair is like, it is there on this carbon and CO2 comes out from this reaction. What? So, this is not taking place with both the molecules. That's why the carbohydrate group on the same carbon is unstable. Slightly, you heat this, CO2 molecules goes out. But when we have motor carbons, that is stable. It won't eliminate CO2. Because, there is no reason for stability here. If this will come out, then CH3 will come here. Okay? And for that, you need very high heat. That is not possible. So, it won't happen. Okay? Also, you need very high heat. That is not possible. So, it won't happen. So, the point is, when you have two carbon atoms present between the two carboxylic acid group, on heating this, H2O molecules goes out and you end up getting an anhydride. Right? Only one carbon atom, then CO2 goes out and you will get acid. Okay? So, final product of this reaction is what? What is this? So, first step of this reaction is mygalation and then simply the acidic hydrolysis and heating. Right? So, these two things, one carbon and two carbon, is very important for this carbonyl compound chapter, especially carboxylic acid. Okay? Understood?

Item number SCP-823 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-823 is to be secured by no fewer than 6 on-site personnel, until such time as decontamination protocols can be established, and the artifact in question neutralized. Personnel must respect the 20m safe zone around the currently established red, no entry zone at all costs. Any individual, civilian or not, who enters the established red zone is to be terminated immediately by sniper fire. Should music or piping be heard emanating from within the red zone, Foundation personnel on-site are to immediately don protective earplugs and withdraw from their positions to a 2km perimeter, beyond the currently established yellow, no civilian present zone. And inform Foundation scientific personnel immediately. Following the realignment event, Foundation Science personnel will survey the area and determine the boundaries of the new red and yellow zones using procedure A-23-1-ALPHA due to the necessity of maintaining auditory alertness. No personal music devices or radios, aside from necessary equipment, are to be allowed at the observation site. Description SCP-823 is an abandoned theme amusement park, located in ██████. Site was abandoned in ██████, after several violent events resulting in the deaths of park attendees. A complete list of set events is included in Supplement 823-01-13. Civilian deaths attributed to SCP-823. SCP-823 was finally abandoned after the events of ██████, also known as Bloody Sunday, when the influence of the artifact in question reached a 20-year peak. 231 attendees were killed, and another 7 injured remained. A complete list of casualties is included in Supplement 823-01-14. One death resulting from event A-23-99-Euclid. But include Two individuals, male and female, fused together at multiple points after emerging from the tunnel of love dark ride. Dead. One individual wearing a happy hippo mascot uniform, found dead of suffocation. Mouth, trachea, and lungs were discovered to be filled with a fiber substance later determined to be identical to the stuffing and said mascot uniform. Dead. Fifteen individuals recovered from the thriller-chiller roller coaster, all decapitated by blunt force. Witnesses reported that the deaths did not occur simultaneously, but in groups of two, starting with the front row of seats and ending with the back. Forensic analysis indicates that each set of deaths correspond to a loop or turn in the roller coaster's tracks. Dead. One individual recovered from under the thriller-chiller roller coaster. Dead of broken neck and massive cranial trauma caused by a 50-foot fall from an inverted position. Individual was seated at the back of said roller coaster, and somehow managed to extricate cell from the ride safety harness halfway through the ride. Dead. One individual found dismembered inside the house of Mirror's attraction. His arm was found 16 feet to the north from the torso. Left leg was found inverted and attached to the ceiling by sinews. Right leg was found in the possession of Subject 79, partially consumed. Forensic analysis indicates that teeth marks found on flesh and bone of said leg are human in origin. To date, no trace of right arm has been found. Alive. For complete record of casualties, see Supplement 823-01-14. Civilian deaths resulting from Event 823-99-Euclid. Following said event, Foundation Mobile Task Force Rows 71, Origami Toads, was sent into the site to assess the situation and carry out containment procedures. MTF Rows 71 was not successful in determining the cause or location of the deaths due to the casualties inflicted on team members. See Supplement 823-01-15. Casualties among MTF Rows 71 resulting from Event 823-99-Euclid. Partial list of casualties included MTF Rows 71, Commander ████, cause of death, suicide caused by forced sexual entry through left eye, resulting in unsurvivable brain trauma. Agent ████, cause of death, suicide. Individuals were found with all ammunition disassembled, casings and bullets discarded. Grounds of propellant, consistent with the amount of disassembled ammunition found on scene, were retrieved from individual stomach and intestines. Cause of death, suicide. Individuals were discovered with lacerated lungs and broken jaw. Missing teeth were retrieved from individuals' lungs and trachea. For complete record of casualties, please see Supplement 823-01-15. Casualties among MTF Rows 71 resulting from Event 823-99-Euclid. Among the deaths of 50% of the Mobile Task Force personnel, on-site supervisor ordered an immediate mission abort. Containment protocol was switched from retrieval to on-site procurement. Standard media blackout procedures were carried out, including ████, Addendum 823-01, Reply, Destruction of Site, per O5 level order. Request for immediate destruction of Site by airstrike to be led by MTF-NU-7 hammered down, is denied due to proximity to civilian population, lack of plausible cover story scenario and unknown nature of artifact in question. Addendum 823-02, Reply, Red Zone. As of this date, SCP-823 has undergone three realignment events requiring resurveying of affected zones. Apparent range of Red, no entry zone, has increased in size by 5% during that time. Rate of expansion appears to be accelerating at a linear rate. See Report 823-02-07, Result of 7th Survey of SCP-823. Request Upgrade to Keeter. Addendum 823-03, Reply, Upgrade to Keeter. Decided by O5 Council. Reason. Insufficient data to justify reclassification.
