All right, I won't push you to become a premium member. I won't push you to shop on Amazon. You know the drill. Let's just get right to the show. Welcome to the show. Well, this is always my favorite part of the week when Frank Conniff and Colleen Worthman stop by and I can check out and not have to do anything. Colleen Worthman is a brilliant comedy writer, actress and human being. Frank Conniff is also a brilliant actress. I do all the things. We go up for the same roles all the time. I do all the things she does except mediocre. You are on John Fugelsang's daily show on Sirius XN. What channel? Channel 121. Channel 121 and you're on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. That's correct. Frank Conniff. If people want to follow you on Twitter, how do they do that? Just Frank Conniff and on Facebook and they can go to my website too, frankconniff.com. And you write once a week, twice a week, you'll write a brilliant, what I call a column for Facebook. Yeah, I've been doing these silly little essays. They're brilliant. Oh, thank you that I've been writing. I've been taking each one of the Republican nominees and writing a little essay. And I've done all of them now, except for I still have John K. Schicks and Carly Fiorina, I think, and... Saving the best for last. Yeah, and Jim Gilmore, who I don't even know if I'm right about or not. The former Virginia governor. Yeah. So, yeah, so I have a bunch of them and, you know, they're just a little fun, little silly 500-word things, you know. Frank Conniff, Frank Conniff, Frank Conniff, his tweets are beyond brilliant. They're terrific. And he comes by them, honestly. It's genetic with Frank Conniff. You know, I'm known as the Fat Irishman, but I steal everything from everybody. I hope that doesn't... I can say that here, because I know no one's listening about that. Oh, well, CAA is going to scoop you right up. Yeah, I was thinking I could get signed by CAA if I just started... if I stopped writing original tweets, you know. Well, you know, don't trash CAA. They had the courage a month ago to drop Bill Cosby. Oh, wow. That's right. That was very courageous, indeed. And Colleen Worthman, how do people follow you on Twitter and Facebook? I am on Twitter at C. Worthman, that's C-W-E-R-T-H-M-A-N-N. Not C. Worthman. No. That's not my last name you see. I know, but if your hearing is shot, it sounds like your name is C. Worthman. But I assume that this is... because this is a podcast, most of your listeners have fairly decent hearing. Yeah. I'm going to forge ahead with that assumption. But horrible taste. In the which case, please follow me on Twitter at C. Worthman. Again, that's C-W-E-R-T-H-M-A-N, like in Nancy. I'm so happy to see you guys. I want to talk today about what's the matter with Kansas versus what's the matter with Kansas City. Has anybody talked about this on The Nightly Show? What's going on in Kansas City? Well, we talk a lot about how Kansas votes against its own economic interests. That does a lot of the country. Right. It's just a most... He's of the brilliant book written by Thomas Frank, formerly of the Baffler, which is a late, great sort of quarterly, I don't know what you would call it. Yeah. Most of our country votes against its own interests. A large part of our country does, yeah. And we're finding out that in Kansas City, where there's a lot of black people... Everything's up to date, I heard. That perhaps black people vote against their own economic interests. The Black Lives Matters people have been interrupting Bernie Sanders and screaming, this isn't about economic opportunity. This is about racism. And on the way over here, I want to throw this out and talk to you about this. On the way over here, as an East Coast intellectual defeat snob, I make fun of Kansas. I say, oh, these idiots, they're only concerned about the American flag and Planned Parenthood and they only care about their guns. But meanwhile, all their jobs are being sent overseas. And as you said, what's the matter with Kansas? I read that book 15, 12 years ago, and I go, these morons. And then I see the Black Lives Matters people interrupting Bernie, who is this Brooklyn Jew from Vermont running for office, addressing the real issue that's going to help all of America and its economic issues. Folks, a rising tide lifts all boats. What are black people worried about? I'm going to get elected president and there are going to be jobs and there's going to be tariffs. And black people are going to be working again. Well, I can't imagine a better result of this upcoming election for black people than Bernie Sanders getting elected. But that's why I find I found the whole interrupting him thing. And a lot of my progressive friends were supportive of it. But I just thought it was really just the way progressives have a tendency to just circle the wagons and fire at each other, you know. Are black people and Colleen, you're black. You have your finger on the pulse of black America as a white woman who writes for Larry Wilmore. Indeed. Have you talked about black people, African Americans? We had two Black Lives Matter activists on our show this week. Okay. Did you talk about what's the matter with Kansas City? Why are black people now voting? Because I happen to agree with Black Lives Matters. Did you talk about black people voting against their own economic interest by interrupting Bernie Sanders? Well, you're assuming that that means that they're voting against their own economic interest. What happened is not necessarily that they're anti-Bernie, but they feel like my sense is that part of the reason that they're going hard at Bernie and Democratic candidates is because they feel like they'll actually listen instead of being called like thugs and getting arrested, you know. But the problem with that though is that they end up hurting, they end up hurting Bernie, you know. And I mean, was it effective? Well, you know, everybody says, oh, he appointed a black spokesperson like three days later or something. And yeah, and that's fine. But on the other hand, it's presenting his campaign in a, it's focusing his campaign on something that the, you know, when he was on Meet the Press the other day with that great journalist Chuck Todd, Chuck Todd just wanted to talk about that. He didn't want to talk about all the other anti-Wall Street message and all the other things that Bernie Sanders has to talk about. They want to focus on the, there was conflict. Oh, there was like a thing. So the media focuses on that. And on the one hand, okay, maybe that brings, that shines a light on the Black Lives Matter movement. But on the other hand, it hurts Bernie's campaign, I think. Okay. They should, we should, everyone who supports the things that Bernie believes in should be supporting his campaign. And I'm saying, and I'm a Hillary supporter, but I'm saying that that was bad for Bernie. Okay. It was bad for Bernie. Colleen Worthman. Yeah. Bad for Bernie. Why are Democrats so frightened of honest debate? The Republicans who are winning. They're not winning. Well, hang on for one second. The Republicans have been having a nervous breakdown since 2000. And it's fractured. And there's a civil war within the Republican Party. That the South is winning, I assume. Yes. Every four years, the smug white intellectuals on the East Coast say, oh, look at those Republicans. Like I just did two seconds ago. Yeah. Look at their nervous breakdown. Can you believe 20 people want to debate on Fox News? And they only have room for 10. And look at how Trump is attacking everybody. They're going to have, and they have real good, healthy, as healthy as a Republican can be, debate. And they win. They win in the Senate. They win in the Congress. They win in the State Houses. They don't win presidential elections. But so I'm sorry, what was your question? Like, hang on, they win in the State Houses because they're better organized. And 45-minute ramp. The groups like the Tea Party and the Religious Right are much better at getting out the vote on a local level. And the problem with liberals is they don't give a shit about midterm elections and local elections, which are actually just as important as the presidential election. But people shrug it off. And also they have gerrymandering on their side. And that's why they win the local houses. But on a national level, they're totally not winning. On a national level, they are not winning. And you're absolutely right. Colleen Worthman, if there were honest debate in the Democratic Party, which we don't have, we have this fear of 1972, a fractured Democratic Party because there's so many ethnicities and sexual interests. Don't you think that Democrats are so afraid of the Democratic Party being fractured by honest debate that it's Humpty Dumpty? They could never put the Democratic Party back together again. So you just go with a neoliberal like Hillary and you don't really pay attention to what she's saying. Or if you like Bernie, don't challenge Bernie. Don't open up the Pandora's box of Democratic special interests because we will never, ever be united again. Aren't we afraid of honest debate? And I mean, I think so. You know, I feel like pretty much there are as many striations in the Democratic Party as there are in the Republican Party. You know, the only difference is more people on that side are willing to go all in right now. Whereas on the Republican side and because Hillary has been around so long and she's such a juggernaut, I think specifically this in this election cycle, that's why people are reluctant to go in. I mean, Gillibrand could have run, you know, who else? Elizabeth Warren. Right. She could have. And they're like, no, I'm not even trying to mess with or Joe Biden. He could have run. Yeah, he could have. But do you think Frank Conniff, do you think we would be, we being Democrats would be better off with our gerrymandering and our state houses and being able to play the micro game if we were energized by debate? Well, I mean, I don't know where the debate, I think within our, if you contrast the Democratic contenders and the Republican tenders, I think on the Democratic side you have intelligent differences between the candidates. You have Bernie Sanders and you have Hillary Clinton who is actually moving further to the left probably because of Bernie Sanders. So that's a healthy thing that he's in the contest and she's, and it's making her move further to the left. So that's a much more intelligent kind of discourse that's going on in there as opposed to the Republican Party, you know, where it's just insanity. Making potshots, not wearing hearing aids and whatnot. Yeah, you know, so yeah, I don't really see, I think a lot of who people talk about the disarray in the Democratic Party, people talk about Hillary's campaign being in big trouble. That's all kind of bullshit. It's not really true. I think people are just desperate to fill the sun setting 24-hour cable news. Yes, and the whole thing of like Joe Biden might run for president is complete bullshit. He's not running for president. Maureen Dowd made up a conversation in her mind that he had with his dying son and it should have been awful. Yeah, it should have just been left at that. But then everyone in the media was like, hey, Joe Biden is running and I knew that there was an actual supposed real news column about a new story about it in the Times besides the Maureen Dowd column. And then when I finally read the New York Times story, they quoted as their source. Maureen Dowd's column was their source. Maureen Dowd's column should never be a source for anything or anyone. Exactly. She's a broken horrible writer. Oh, I don't know. Yes. I've never made a truer statement than Maureen Dowd is a fucking horrible writer. Word up. She's like a pastry. She's fun to read. It's like. How is she fun to read? No, she's like a dry croissant that makes you cough. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, she's just, I can say. Flaky in all the wrong ways. Oh, flaky. And plus, you know, her last, she's never written a nice word about Hillary Clinton, about Barack Obama, about Al Gore. She's just written three columns, fauning columns in a row about Donald Trump. She's still patting herself on the back for comparing him to Spock. It's like people did that like 30 seconds after. And Donald Trump just said, you know, Maureen Dowd is great. She did me a big favor. So how can anybody take her seriously after that? It's amazing to me that out of everyone, the journalist who's been toughest on Trump is Megan Kelly on Fox. And what does that say about the right wing? No, what does it say about our media? What does it say about our mainstream media that Fox and Chris Wallace asked some tough questions, too. Since then, Trump is getting such gigantic ratings for people that all anyone wants to do is do a fauning interview with him, pretend to ask him a tough question without cynical. Yeah, without asking him a tough question so that he won't get pissed off so that he'll come back on their show and they can keep getting big ratings so that they'll keep their access. Would you be willing to admit, Colleen Worthman, that Fox News, despite its right wing propaganda, that if you watch Brett Baer, that they are the best news organization out there? No, I wouldn't say that. What? Tell him. What kind of primrose path are you trying to lead me down, David Feldman? I'm talking about VisaV, MSNBC, and CNN. Don't, in other words... I thought they did a good job with the debate. They did a great job with the debate. You can see Ralph Nader on Fox News. You can see Medea Benjamin on Fox News. You cannot see them on CNN. No. Or MSNBC, which MSNBC, by the way, has become one 24-hour infomercial for Donald Trump, except for maybe Rachel Maddow's show, but every other show is just jumping on the Trump bandwagon big time. Except for Melissa Harris-Perry. Yeah, Melissa Paris-Perry and Rachel. You should... Harry? Called Melissa Harris-Perry. Melissa Harris-Perry, MHP. I like the other way. Melissa Harris-Perry, I don't... I want to ask you a question about John Stewart. Farron Balanced News. He was actually at our studio yesterday. Really? Yeah, because we just had our 100th episode. And he, since he's one of our executive producers, he popped by. We sort of had an all-hands meeting in the studio. And, you know, Rory Albany is our showrunner. He was like, congratulations, you guys. It was a lot of hard work. Have a great break. And then Larry thanked us all. He gave a really lovely speech about, you know, how hard everyone's been working. And then John Stewart talked to us and he said that is so fucking angry at us for finding our voice so quickly. It was really touching. It was beautiful. That's great. Great. Does he have a beard? He's got some stubble. He looked pretty exhausted, truth be told. I think just he's still decompressing. Yeah. So he went after a show called Crossfire in 2003 or 2004. Long time ago, yeah. 2003. Now Crossfire was a show on CNN. And John gets a lot of credit for getting Crossfire taken off the air. I maintain that was a disservice to journalism. I thought Crossfire was one of the best shows on television at the time. The only place you could hear in 2003 anti-war opinion was on Crossfire, that there was actually honest debate on Crossfire. I don't remember that. Yeah, I don't remember that either. I don't know why he targeted Crossfire. It was the only show that's co-hosted by Tucker Carlson. That's true. It's well worth targeting. He was right for him. And what he was saying- That guy's the worst. He's like Mr. Potato Head. Yeah. And what he said about Crossfire, he was really saying about all of the media. And everything he said about Crossfire then is true to an even much larger degree now about the entirety of the mainstream media. Have you ever read that George Saunders essay, The Brain Dead Megaphone? No, I don't think so. It's a fucking fantastic essay about just kind of how degraded our journalism has become, TV journalism specifically. Yeah. Where like the dumbest thing gets the loudest voice. I mean, it's perfectly true. Right now it's more true. It's only gotten more true. Why are you looking at me when you say that? You know what you did. Who was George Saunders? George Saunders. Who was George Saunders? He played Addison DeWitt in All About Eve. Oh no, you're talking about George Saunders. He is one of my absolute favorite authors. Have you ever read him? I think he wrote a really good suicide note over my thinking of somebody else. No, that's George Saunders. Oh, that's my favorite author. George Saunders who played Addison DeWitt in All About Eve wrote a suicide note saying, I'm bored. I'm out of here basically. Awesome. Which is what a lot of my listeners are doing right now. Please pen that note immediately. And have the courage to follow through with it. Here, if you know what, I'll write it for you. Okay, so all right. So who was George Saunders and who was George Saunders? We've established very well for all your listeners who are from the 1800s can appreciate a good George Saunders joke. Okay. Hey, I've got a main of them. And who is Bernie Saunders? Okay. Can I get a motherfucking word in Edgewise? Yes, you can. George Saunders is an absolutely brilliant author. He wrote a book called Pastoralia. He wrote one called Civil Warland and Bad Decline. Their books, they tend to be short stories. Short and medium length. Yeah, fiction writer. He actually teaches at Syracuse. And he just came out. Oh, he's still alive. Oh, yeah. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And last year he came out with this book called 10th of December, which is fucking spectacular. That was like his big breakthrough book. So amazing. Kind of a bestseller even. Yeah. Yeah, it was great. I have it. I haven't read every story in it, but I've read several. He has, a lot of his characters write in a kind of bad business English or like their narrative voice is like a bad business English. That's shitty integrated. And he uses a lot of, he's obsessed with like how people take medicines to control their personalities and their lives and his stories are funny and crazy in a very quiet, sad, quotidian way. I absolutely love his writing. Great. Great. All right. The Black Lives Matters. Thank you for that. Sure thing. Thank you. Black Lives Matters are black people, African Americans wrong for saying, and thank God we don't have any African Americans here to add some insight. Yeah, I think we're best qualified to speak on this issue. Well, we are because I'm a paternalistic Jew. So I like to tell people what's good for them. I'm an aggressive Irish German. And I find that when I'm around black people always feel good about themselves. You're upset with the Black Lives Matter. I'm not upset. I just disagree with that mythology. Can you separate racism from economic oppression? Is there something different? No, racism, it would seem to me, and I really am not qualified to talk about that. Well, you're a racist. Yes, as a racist I could say that racism and economic matters go very much hand in hand. Ah, and I am learning that you're wrong. And that's what Black Lives Matter is trying to teach us. Black Lives Matter, no S on the end. I'm part of a different... Oh, this is the splinter group? This is the splinter group. So you don't think racism plays any part in the economic suppression of a certain group of people? Here's something I would posit. I haven't used that word in like 12 years. Wow. Not all racism is economic oppression, but all economic oppression is racist. All economic oppression is racist. Think about redlining, you know? Think about even how hard it is for many Black homeowners to get home insurance, you know? Yeah. That shit is still happening. All right, so I interviewed and I really recommend everybody listens to this interview that I did with Justin Gifford. He's the, and you should have him on the show. He wrote the new book, Street Poison, the biography of Iceberg Slim. Oh. Have you had him on the show yet? No. Oh my God, you should have him on the show. He's brilliant. He's a professor of literature out of the University of Reno, wrote an amazing book about Iceberg Slim who I knew nothing about until Jerry Stahl turned me on to him. And Iceberg Slim was a pimp. Who wrote an incredible autobiography about his time as a pimp and in prison. Yeah. I read that years ago. I actually was in a play based on it. What did you play one of the? It was called Lady Pimp. It was a very crazy play. But it was inspired by that book. Lady? Yeah, I played the Lady Pimp. It was great. And were you, did you have a stable of men or women? Women. So you were a madam? No, I was a lady pimp. And you worked the streets? No, it was kind of like a weird monologue with like chime ins. I don't remember it terribly well. It was a short play, but it was very fun and funny. Okay. I want to get back to, so he was Professor Gifford and everybody should pick up this book Street Poison. It's the biography of Iceberg Slim. There's a documentary about him out too. Yeah, that's easier to do. That's what I watch. So I don't need to read the book now. He says that during Jim Crow, while there was economic incentive to create separate but equal, it was about racism, pure and simple, that the redlining that the creation of ghettos was set up to keep black people away from white people. Yeah. That the legislation, local legislation that put prostitution in the ghetto, they would enforce prostitution laws in white neighborhoods. It was against the law in white neighborhoods, but they let it thrive in the ghetto. They let drug deals go down in the ghetto. It sounds like an Elvis Presley song. Yes, in the white neighborhoods, drug deals were illegal. Because, not for economic reasons at the beginning, but because they wanted to establish the ghetto as the font of vice. They wanted people to perceive black people. Black neighborhood equals bad neighborhood. Not for economic reasons, purely racist reasons. So, Frank, black people, I'm beginning to understand, think racism is separate from lack of economic opportunity. I still don't agree with that because even if you're creating ghettos based on racism, the economic hardships that come to them, the opportunities that are denied to them from coming from those ghettos, comes from the racism that made their, if what you're saying is true, it comes from the racism that made the ghetto happen in the first place, and then that's affecting their economic climb and their social climb and their ability to rise in the society. So, even if what you say is true, that still doesn't mean that in this day and age, as a result of all that, that racism and economic issues are not completely tied in with each other. Right. What I'm beginning to learn, Colleen Werthman, is that Bernie Sanders, a Brooklyn Jew, I know the type. The problem between blacks and Jews is Jews are often perceived in the black community as paternalistic, and we have a tendency. I'm not saying all Jews, and it's a miscommunication. This is just some of the problems between blacks and Jews, that Jews tell black people what they should be afraid of and concerned about. And Jews like Bernie Sanders and me, although I'm learning, and Frank, you're an honorary Jew after that last statement. I thought being comedian made me an honorary Jew. We're saying to black people, you don't understand. Your feelings aren't legitimate. You need to be concerned about economic issues and not racism. We're going to teach you. I think they should be concerned about racism totally, but I don't think Bernie Sanders is their problem, you know? There are people running for president of the United States who are overt, outright, unapologetic racist. So out of all those people, why is Bernie Sanders their focus? Because he is supposed to be their savior. He's a white Jew from Brooklyn who moved to Vermont. It's a savior according to whom? A savior according to whom? He thinks of himself, and I do too, as the savior for the blacks. He looks at himself as a fighter and an advocate for progressive issues, which I think will help everybody, and I think it will help blacks. And it's not to say that black people don't have legitimate issues about this, but my point is, why is he the target? He's not the right target. To be fair, they've been targeting other people as well. A bunch of black lives matter. The two activists who were on our show this week tried to interrupt a Hillary Clinton campaign event in New Hampshire, and they were intercepted by the Secret Service, but then Hillary met with them backstage, and they filmed it. It's like a ten minute long video. In that video, Hillary Clinton said something that was really great. I don't believe in changing hearts. I don't think I can change people's hearts. I have to change the structure and the laws and the world we live in. I love that. That was so smart. That ten minute video was well worth watching. I remember Dennis Miller saying to me that I just don't believe racism can ever be eradicated, and I remember saying to him, that's why we needed Brown v. Board of Education. The government can dictate behavior. You can be a racist. You can still be a racist, but you can't force them to go to an inferior school. Right. Or not live in your apartment building. If because you're a racist, you prevent me from living in your apartment building, then you're breaking the law. Okay, back to racism. This is really important to me because I'm learning, and Cullen Worthman, you work on The Nightly Show. There are a lot of African-Americans on board. Racism is a separate issue from economic oppression, and that is what white Jews like Frank Conniff don't get. They don't get it. I think I'm ahead on the curve, and you're not, Frank. I challenge you. Yeah, I'm completely... Why are police officers shooting unarmed black men and not unarmed white men? Is that an economic issue? No, that's racism. I'm not saying that pure racism doesn't exist, but I'm saying that the economic issues will be better addressed by Bernie Sanders, and also, it seems to me, he would probably be more inclined to be sympathetic of people who are being shot by cops, of black people who are being shot by cops. But what's the matter with Kansas City? Well, you know what, Kansas City would be, to me, what's the matter with Kansas City would be trying to bring down Bernie Sanders' campaign. Exactly. That is the point I'm trying to make. What's the matter with Kansas City? Frank Conniff. I'm the matter with it, especially if you saw my set at Stanford and Sons when I performed there. Frank Conniff Colleen Werthman is saying there's something the matter with Kansas City. We all know there's something the matter with Kansas. What's the matter with Kansas City? Black people, by interrupting Bernie Sanders and focusing on racism. I know you keep harping on this, but what? Why are they not only focusing on economic issues? They're voting. Well, black lives matter is about police murdering innocent black people. Yeah. I would not be surprised if there is an offshoot that is more focused on economic issues, but the point of black lives matter, as I understand it, is that their focus is, hey, stop murdering us, period. Okay, so let me go back to Kansas then. Yeah, I disagree with this whole they're voting against their own economic opportunities principle that you're showing in my face. Like a flaccid dick. Like a bagel. Leave his flaccid dick out of it. Is this horrible? My girlfriend told me she wanted me to choke her during sex. So I put my dick down. No, okay. Wow. Yeah, that was a joke that I came up with, and Alex said, don't tell it. And by the way, we're going to talk about what's the matter with Brooklyn in a second. What's that joke for? Is it for like penthouse forum? No, it's for being removed from the radio version of this episode. I just have to tell you. Click and drag to the trash. Daily bit. From you, I expect only the highest quality auto-erotic. Seriously, because he's written some of the best ones that I've heard. I didn't write the best, but you did nail me at QED the other night. How many comics do five separate auto-erotic asphyxiation jokes? Back to back? He did several of them. Like a royal flush? Which I love, because then it just inspired me to do mine. Help me with this joke. Then I want to get back to my stupid premise. My girlfriend wants me to choker during sex. This is what I have so far, but I don't have the right punch line. My girlfriend wanted me to choker during sex, so I gave her a chicken salad sandwich with a lot of bones still in it. That's funny. Is it? Yeah. I like that very much. Do you? Alex? Thumbs up. That's way better. Chicken salad sandwich with a lot of bones in it. Is that funny? Yeah. And then I... Colleen, is this sexist? And then after the laugh I tag it with... I boned that bitch. Is that sexist? You know what, I like to... Sorry. I get off... What did you do? I boned her lovingly. I get off on choking during sex. That's why I always have a spelling bee when I'm having sex. Or I... Because you can't answer the... Yes, because I choke on it. I mean, I could say a tennis match or whatever, but... I feel like a spelling bee. I like... I choke. Because there's the idea that there's like an audience, like a judge's... Someone reading off the words. You're fucking someone and you go use it in a sentence, please. The best joke was written 20 years... I worked on Roseanne with a guy named Mike Ann Dolphy from San Francisco. Oh, Mike Ann Dolphy. You know his... Oh, I know him very well. I don't know if I know this joke, but I know him very well. Did you work on... Did you work on that show when Bobby Gaylord was there? No. Okay. He's a writer on our staff. Oh, say hello to Bobby Gaylord. Okay, I will. He should have... He should have circumcised his last name. Indeed. But I'm sorry. You were saying... I'm trying to be... See, this is why I love you guys. Let me explain something. We do a lot of shows here at showbriestudios. Yes. The elegantly appointed headquarters. Isn't it great? Yeah, really nice. It's fantastic. It's just getting nicer and nicer. Yeah. I like shows where I feel safe enough where I can just... Like, just fail. Okay. Yeah. It's so much more... And I like you guys because you're not afraid of failure. I had a... I wrote a thing for... That happens to me a lot. I wrote a thing for our show. The other man that just tanked. Like, Larry just looked at it and he shook his head and goes, This is insane. I was like, I liked it, but whatever. I've had more tanks than Rommel. Failure. It was something I wanted... I wanted to talk to... I won't move on. I want to get back to Kansas City. But I also want to talk about failure. I want to talk about Kansas City. Before we move on to failure and what's the matter with Brooklyn. That's the second half of our show. How deep are we in here? We need a clock, Mr. Brazil. How are we on time? We're at 36 minutes. Okay. Before we get to what's the matter with Brooklyn and failure, is it fair to say, and I think Obama would say this, that if black people think that there are things that are more important than economic issues, like don't kill our kids. Is it fair to say that Kansas should not be mocked for being stupid when they say, don't kill our babies? In other words, do they... When we say you're voting against your own... Don't you understand that abortion is a wedge issue? You're being tricked into voting for pro-life candidates. But whatever the black people, whatever problems they might have, they're not necessarily voting against their own interests because the ones that vote tend to vote for Democrats. So the black people who vote for Republicans are a whole other category of conservative Republicans. But even people who right now might have issues with Bernie Sanders and the way racism is being addressed, the ones who believe in voting next November, they're either going to vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. They're not going to vote for Donald Trump or Scott Walker. Is that true? Whoever it's going to be. I'm disagreeing with your premise yet again. The thing is that when black people say, hey, stop murdering us, it's not the same as, hey, don't murder our babies. Policemen aren't running up to people's to women's uteruses and shooting them in the uter... You know what I mean? But that would be okay in a way. I mean, if it happened to me, I would welcome it. An unarmed fetus. Yes. You know? Well, I'm just talking about snobbery and elitism. What I'm saying is and Obama kind of talks about this or nibbles around the edges of this and that is we have a tendency to be smug about Kansas and say they're so stupid they only care about abortion. Meanwhile, they're being robbed, blind. And could it be, excuse me for one second, could you say that these are genuine Christian people who believe money is not the most important thing in the world, that it is family, and when you talk about economic issues and a rising tide lifts all boats, that's irrelevant to my faith. I believe in Christ. Well, there are many single-issue voters. They have a good reason, then, to vote against their own interests. Their own economic interests. Yeah, their own economic... If that other stuff is more important. But the other thing I disagree with you, I don't think that this idea of elitism is a big problem in our society. I would argue, if you'll... Yeah. I would argue that there is scorn and condescension on both sides. Right-leaning people, hate-left-leaning people, and think that we're fucking idiots. Or snobs or, you know, yuppie, bullshit, cappuccino, Volvo-drive, whatever that stereotype was from whatever election cycle that was, whether it was 2012 or 20, 2008. I... Shit. Well, what's your kind of thought? Let her find it. It's always interesting. But while she's finding it, I'll just say that we use the idea... Oh, I got it. Okay, go ahead. The idea that quote-unquote, most right-wing people are anti-abortion, that's just not true. It's like three or four percent. Right, right. They're the smallest... They're the powerful ones within the party. Like the fundamentalist right-wing Christian people are like a very small component. Just as like the hyper-hyper-liberal, you know, people who masturbate to the nation. Katrina Vanden Heuvel. Pretty hot. She... Don't you think? I'm just talking about the essays. I just always make sure I just to the left. Right. You know, the hyper-liberals are a small segment. That's all anyone talks about. The hyper-conservatives and you know, and again, the people who are kind of like, I have one big issue. Yeah. They get the megaphone. They get the megaphone, exactly. Just like George Saunders says. Right, yeah. And what I was going to say too is that your premise that there's this big elitism and smug East Coast thing going on, I think that's a false narrative. And I think... You're shoving all kinds of bullshit out today. Just his steaming plates. You know, I was watching... That's what I do. That's what the show is. I was watching Chris Matthews because I have no self-esteem. Did you maybe like, like trip in a household accident? Yes, exactly. You got your head on a table when you woke up. It was playing. Yeah. His camera has a windshield wiper on it just to wipe off all the spit. Yes, I believe it. But anyway, they had... It was him and Michael Steele and my friend, Joan Walsh, was on. You're friendly with Joan Walsh? I am friendly with Joan. I really want to... I just wanted to work there and I have nothing else to say. No. Did she ever find her missing kid? Joan Walsh. Oh, that's John. John Walsh. Sorry. From the line. Joan Walsh, one of the best writers. But anyway, she... They were talking about how Trump's poll numbers have gone up even after he said all these horrible things and she's... And they showed some focus group of people saying they loved him, you know, and she was saying, well, these people are like the lowest common denominator. And then they completely berated her for being an elitist for saying something that is so obviously true, you know, and there's this whole thing in the media of, you know, Obama's an elitist, Democrats are an elitist, or elitist. You know, George W. Bush was just a good old boy. He's a guy you could have a beer with and there's something preferable to that, to like a smarty pants east coast person and it's just all bullshit. Okay. It's my point. Yep, agreed. Colleen. Cops. Mm-hmm. Shooting unarmed black men. Mm-hmm. Black men reach for a wallet 67 shots. Mm-hmm. Is the problem you said about Hillary? Uh-huh. She said, what did she say? Like she said, you can't change people's hearts. You can change the structure and the laws and the world that their hearts live in. How do we frame the Black Lives Matters problem? Because it is a problem because I think... What do you mean by that? What I mean is nobody's willing to say this. And when you say we, who do you mean? I mean we, the people, America, we will not say what I'm about to say. Which is. Because it requires more than a sound bite. If, as Hillary says, you cannot change people's hearts, you cannot change the cops, they are racist and they are afraid of black men. Mm-hmm. Are we wasting time trying to cure racist cops? Wouldn't we be better off treating their fear of the black man? And their fear of the black man is that black men are packing heat. Now, that's not true. At least in the instances where they get shot. Right. It isn't true. So, you know, here's the problem. You can't talk about this because it can't be reduced to a sound bite. So nobody's going to say this. The problem isn't that black people have guns. The problem is that cops are frightened of getting shot because there are too many guns in this country. Because many cops are stupid and racist, they see all these guns being sold and they figure, well, black people are violent. They're all carrying guns. If they reach for something, it's a gun. Why aren't black people unarmed black men getting shot in England or France? Because there are fewer guns. So isn't the problem guns? Well, guns are certainly an unsolvable problem here. It's a horrible tragedy. So is racism. I'm not... You're the one who's saying they're mutually exclusive, David. Why are you like making it like it's my fault? What the fuck? I'm so happy. This makes me so... So pathetic I am. It's profoundly irritating. You know how sad my life is? So sad. This is the highlight of my week. But this moment right now, Frank, that little interchange. That's just, yeah. That's why I always see on the street calling everybody racist. You just want to get our people to talk to you. Oh, God. Go ahead. I mean, clearly racist police practices must be fixed with laws and with better training. And also, guns are a horrible problem in our society. Obviously, we all agree on that. Right. And there should be more gun control. Period. But that, of all the issues going on, that's the one that's the farthest away from changing ever. Because if, you know, the fact that police are afraid that black people have guns, that's not going to make there be gun control. If a guy going into a school and shooting 12 kids to death, they're never black. And a guy going into a church, well, in the church, they were black. You know, if that's not going to cause gun control, which it hasn't, then I don't... God help us. Of everything I can think of, gun control is... God, it doesn't exist. Can't help us. Gun control is the one thing we're not going to see changed in our lifetime. If I were still running for Bill Maher, I would suggest a new rule. Cops have to start shooting. More unarmed white people? Yeah, because white people are the ones who really are shooting up all the... They are. And you know, there was all this concern and hyped up fear about that movie straight out of Compton that, you know, they increased... Oh, that they beefed up... They beefed up security at movie theaters. And because, you know, all this violence happens during really black films, like Trainwreck and... Batman. The Dark Knight Returns or whatever. It's all of the movie theater violence that's happened has been by white people during white movies. By the way, did you see straight out of Compton? I did not. It's really good. Well, colors. Remember the movie the Robert Duvall? There was shooting. That's Sean Penn and Robert Duvall. There were gang shootings back then. Right. But that was like, you know, that was a million years. That was a long time. That was in like 1991 or something, right? That's when there was an actual term called going postal. Yeah. Because of post... Because post office workers were the ones doing the shootings. And that is over. And the worst... Because they solved that problem. Right. Well, now they have the forever stamps, so... How much does it cost? Forever. No, they did solve that. They were able to solve postal people going postal. Well, but there's one bad thing about that is that fewer people are using the word disgruntled, which is something that's bad for our society, I think. Does it make you gruntled? Yes. I'm gruntlin' right now. If I would think gruntled should mean disgruntled. If I'm grunt... What does disgruntled mean? I don't know. Gruntled must be good, then. Like, your kids have. Yeah. I'm gruntled about this. So you don't think... Because I just want to repeat this because I think it's profound. If you cannot change people's hearts, change the laws, get rid of the guns. Get rid of the guns now. There's another thing that nobody's talking about. David Feldman. Yes, of course. The problem in Ferguson, they say, is the militarization of our police. Water cannons. Sound cannons. Sound cannons and tanks and all this equipment coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan being turned over to our police. And President Obama says, we're going to put an end to this. We are not going to turn our police into paramilitary organizations. And I say, what the... What are you talking about? Give them everything. Do you know how many guns... So the police are going to be... have fewer arms than these crackpots who are hoarding weapons? I want the police to have all... But a lot of the crackpots are on the police force though. It's true. And on our radio show the other day, we had Randy Kredico, who you probably know. Love Randy. Yeah, Randy's a great guy. He's still talking right now, as a matter of fact, on your radio show. Very extremely left wing. Really left wing. And he is against gun control because he says, if the cops are armed, I want to be armed too. If the cops are going around shooting people, I want to be able to defend myself. And this is just a really extremely left wing guy who, if you have that vision of our society, where we're in a police state where black people and other people have to be worried, then he says, let me don't take my gun away. Colleen? Well, I don't believe that tanks are going to prevent crazy people from shooting things up. I just don't. Yeah, that's a good point. And I don't think that turning a police force into a paramilitary organization is a good idea. I mean, it's like a cute take, but I totally disagree with the concept. I want to go back to the simple days of the platoon on the beat. Yeah. Well, if I were a cop, and I was going out on the street every day, I can't even get in the fashion police. You would make it. If I were going out every day and thinking about... You would make a terrible policeman. Really? Yeah. I would beat up unarmed white people all the time. I would just... Just crack them over the head with your night stick? If the cops, be honest. If the cops were beating the shit out of entitled white people for being entitled white people, would you be upset? It would depend on what they were doing. I'd be upset because my goal is to one day be an entitled white person. When you see a white person driving their Volvo and talking on the phone and texting, don't you think we'd all be better off if the cop pulled them over and just took the phone, shoved it up their ass, and beat the shit out of them? That would be a satisfying on one level, but I think we'd all be better off if the cop pulled them over and arrested them for texting. I happen to think that Volvos are really nice, safe vehicles. So the person texting... As nice as your flannel shirt and Birkenstocks? Yes. And the cat fur all over you? We actually have a Subaru Forester because my husband and I are both lesbians. Oh, okay. Well, I would like the cops to be... If it were like an Audi or a Lexus, I would be more on board with that. Okay. Pedophilia. Yay! We're gonna get to Brooklyn in failure, by the way, we will. Pedophilia. I'm just offering up. We have bagels, coffee, orange juice. Pedophilia. I'm gonna come out right now and say opposed. Okay. Rough week for Jared Fogle. He can go fuck himself. Well, truly. If he had done that, he wouldn't be in jail. You know, it's just been a bad week. iTunes. Did you see the Daily News headline? Subhuman. Alright, we're kicking a man when he's down on his knees. Let's kick him, fuck that guy. He had a rough week. iTunes turned down his new dating app, Kinder. Hahaha! He tried to become the spokesman. I love that joke. That's fun. He tried to become the spokesman for Giznos. He turned him down. Yes, well... One of my office mates corrected a joke yesterday. It was like, Quiznos just changed his slogan to our subs are toasted. And also, we don't employ sex preference. Hahaha! I have some... I want to talk about pedophilia. Here's the thing though. I will say this. There is so much hysteria about you know, he's he's like, he's got child porn and I do feel like it's a little weird like there is such a like in pornography, there's like so much like teen porn. I feel like, why are we surprised that people want to have sex with teenagers? And there's a lot of there's a lot in our culture of sexualized teenagers and it's accepted and it's it's considered okay. I'm not advocating you know, for Jared Vogel fucking child prostitutes. What I still just find I find really weird about the whole thing is that he lost a ton of weight so that he'd look good when he was paying for sex. I don't quite understand the logic behind that. He was a fat creepy tool and then he was just a skinny and then he got thinner and so you know, when he came up and said, hello, I'd like to buy sex. Well, we're finding a Alex Brazel the owner of show Bruce Studios he didn't lose weight from eating subway. He lost all his weight by giving candy to little boys. He gave us all his candy. I think girls were his target. Yeah, he was into girls. So he's not a pervert. Come on. It was girls, it does count. All right, I got a couple things I want to talk about in terms of pedophilia. Do we know any good websites? We we just talked about black people and the problem with the police and that police are dangerous and the police have to be policed. Pedophilia in this country I'm going to guess is a problem. I used to believe that there was no such thing as child porn that the FBI was creating honey traps. This was before the internet. This is what I was told by people who I respected and they said to me there's no such thing as child porn. Most of it has been produced by the FBI and it doesn't even exist. The FBI is just trying to lure people into a honey trap. Where did you read this on like a geocities? No, this was this was first amendment conventional wisdom up until about the internet and now the internet I guess has planted ideas in people's heads. I think the internet is giving people exactly what they want. Communities find themselves. There are whole websites for people who like to chew ice. There are so many weird behavioral things in the world. The hardest thing you could do is invent a new fetish. I think too, because people who might live in a small town or something and they're gay or they want to be transgendered or they have some kind of thing about them that makes them feel unusual or alone and makes them feel different. They can find a community of like-minded people on the internet and that can be a very positive thing. Because before that someone could just feel completely alone. I'm the only one in the world who has this weird fetish or who- As you said in your act about Comic-Con what does Comic-Con do? Well, Comic-Con is a community of what? It helps people who are into comic books, animation, popular culture, video games find other people with type 2 diabetes. That's a great joke. By the way, Frank Conniff is like you're stand-up and it's really gotten it was always great but watching you at QED the other night your move to New York was the smartest thing you've ever done. You remind me of Eddie Pepitone in that I'll take that as a compliment for sure. You're the kind of guy who just needs to be up on stage every night because your genius comes through and I thought in Los Angeles you, me, not Eddie was getting up every night but being in New York it allows great comics like you to really I've been on stage more and I'm still not on stage as much as I'd like to be Let me get back to pedophilia Let me get back to pedophilia I'm worried about pedophilia because it reminds me of terrorism Wait, what? When the World Trade Center came down although I'm a denier Well, didn't you go to the didn't you take a date to the top of the World Trade Center one time? And what happened? Well, it was after the attack Oh, right, it was much cheaper Maybe that's the joke No, I'm going to get in trouble for doing this drill Way better No, no, I just fixed a joke I took my date, I remember I used to take my girlfriend to the top of the World Trade Center It was after 9-11 because it was much cheaper, in fact, they were free actually, they had chili Did you just put a crazy straw in the reflecting fountain? Terrorism, so certain things are off the table, when we're under the threat of terrorism you cannot discuss certain things When we're a nation at war you cannot discuss whether or not we should be, it's unpatri... Okay, are we getting there with pedophilia? I don't understand the comparison Can it be that the police can charge somebody with pedophilia? He pled guilty I know he pled guilty I know that, and I'm not saying he's innocent but I'm saying once you're accused of pedophilia it doesn't matter if it's true he remembers that the McMartin preschool was innocent Do you remember? I don't know what you're talking about Woody Allen's only one won Academy Awards Oh wait, was that the shit with the recovered child abuse memories? I'm not saying Jared's innocent I just... If the police can plant evidence I feel like, wait, are we going off the rails At first I thought you were saying that we are in a culture where we so profoundly condemn child pornographers or people who are pedophiles that there's no conversation to be had about how it happens or why But then, you said it's all about conspiracy of planning evidence and stuff like that Gene Simmons' house now is being investigated for child porn It's too bad I loved her in Guys and Dolls Wow Okay Was George Saunders in that? No, he wasn't, but I'm sure he worked with Gene Simmons Gene Simmons from his house now is being investigated The house is using child porn? There's a child protective task force in California I thought it was because they had reason to leave Gene Simmons live there Okay So, you know, there's a task force in California whose job it is to find child porn Good Yes And the problem with that is when you have a bureaucracy when you have a government agency whose job it is to find porn they are going to find porn sometimes where there is none because they have to justify their job Do you actually believe this? That hysteria can erase our rights I think that the police planted a I believe that Ferman, Detective Ferman planted a bloody glove on OJ's property I believe OJ was framed for a murder he committed I believe the police plant evidence I believe I believe that we have to take a step back and know that the police plant evidence and it is very easy these days for somebody to hack your computer and put stuff on it Yeah, but a hack is traceable too Is it really? Yeah You don't think we're running into a danger of the police? Well, you know what we are running into a danger of and this is a whole other story that we haven't talked about is the Ashley Madison hack and everyone is as was I was gleeful to see that Josh Duggar was caught but the whole thing okay, it's fun to make fun of Josh Duggar but we're all susceptible Do you know what he listed as his biggest turn-ons? My sisters This is a family made I'm giving my own rap air horn for my own joke But everything the idea that any of us have any privacy on the internet is just an illusion that we all have any site that you visited anyone has done can eventually be hacked and our privacy is in danger and the people who did the Ashley Madison hack they're the bad guys in this whole thing Here's someone I'm not worried about their rights being violated Gene Simmons I'm not worried about Gene Simmons's civil rights I'm not worried about pedophile civil rights particularly Let me finish The people who most need to be looked out for are children who are victims of being forced to participate in child pornography Those are the real people that need to be worried about I agree with you When it comes to child pornography I firmly believe in the principle of Occam's razor If it looks like a person has child porn if the fingers point to it they pretty much have child porn Right I'm going to push back on that And I love conspiracy theories and shit I'm going to push back on that because partly because I cannot imagine anybody having child porn Well imagine it A lot of people have it And you're not being able to imagine it is not based on any That's your own moral principles One or two percent of people are pedophiles How funny would it be if right now the police busted open the door to the studio And I get arrested for child porn That would be funny And I run it And 100% predictable Just actual facts I just can't imagine that anybody would be turned on by this You can find David at Methinkseaduthprojects.com He also has a podcast called Boy I Love Child Pornography Which is not that It's a pun Boy, I sure look Which is not as big on iTunes Well Don't think I'm not worried about this because I do I'm a champion of the First Amendment And I do fear the police And I'm constantly thinking If I talk about this Will I have evidence planted on my computer I think you're giving them too much credit That's what I'm saying My computer's already been seized I think your life is too boring Well, I don't like to In all honesty, what you just said Colleen I would assume you're a champion of the First Amendment Yeah But that blanket statement Gives too much power To the police I am 100% on board with Child porn task forces I know a woman who does it for a living And she's a fucking awesome person Right And again Back to the McMartin pre-school I'm going to be interviewing An author named Beck Believe his name is Beck He has a new book called We Believe the Children You have, and it's a Bath and McMartin pre-school The hysteria of That's two different things though Planting false memories Or inventing false memories And planting false evidence I don't know the McMartin pre-school That's why I'm saying But you sound like People after 9-11 And that's why I'm equating Pedophilia to terrorism Because they're both horrible things And I'm just I worry That this We all know pedophilia is Bad as It's terrorism But when you Talk the way you're talking You run the danger Of giving too much Power to the police That's all I said Obviously there's a tension between But her talking The way she's talking Of the idea that The children should be the priority What she said is if it looks like Pedophilia, if it smells like pedophilia It's pedophilia and punish the person That's what she said If a person has porn It's like child porn I think that It's not really When you see it Because there are visiting certain sites That are for that That have a million, billion gateways In all honesty I Cannot believe that there are actually Sites I've never visited one You're berating me as though I don't believe in the first amendment Here's the thing Would you dare To go to these sites When you're typing with anybody I would if I were part of a task force And people knew that that's why I was going So we're trusting this is how it works now In this country I have never Ever visited Excuse me for one second Here's the problem Here is the problem I love this I'm so happy It's exactly like Terrorism When I go on Because every time you leave your house There's an orange alert No Colleen is You've said 5 million times that pedophilia equals terrorism Now what? I am terrified when I go on the internet Of hitting The wrong site That's because you're old though I had to buy my son a gift I was like terrified Okay I None of us Nobody Has ever Typed in A pedophilia website Nobody has gone to one To one one one Nobody we know has gone to one 100% disagree with that assessment I'm talking about This is the point I'm making You've never seen Child porn on the internet I've never seen child porn on the internet You are going to trust the government to tell us What we have We're allowed to look for this stuff We find it The only people who actually See child porn Are the police And the pedophiles And we have to trust the police To tell us What are you suggesting a civilian task force For pedophilia That's a problem But I am worried that only the police So what's the solution David? We should all look at child porn You know Because we're put Because the problem is The McMartin preschool The problem is trusting the police The problem is That only police Officers And pedophiles You said the same thing three times What is the solution I'm saying Be very wary When Jared Fogel Pleads guilty So you think it was forcibly It was a force confession It might be part of An overall sting against Spokesmen for Sandwich companies It could be Jimmy John taking him down Yeah, Ronald McDonald might be next Okay, there is a law In California We're gonna get to Brooklyn, Alex This is a great show Is it? You still haven't answered My question What's the solution Here's the solution You ready for the solution? Here's the solution And once again I'm gonna talk about something That nobody else is willing to talk about In California There was a law Past this year That if you're a Psychiatrist or psychologist And Your patient Tells you That You have Looked at child porn You have to report That patient To the police Okay I believe That the law also says That if A person says they have Feelings For a child The Psychiatrist or psychologist Is on the border Line As to whether or not They're obligated to report The There's a whole episode of This American Life about this Have you not heard it? No So there's a teenager who told his mom And then He went to a therapist about it And he like, I know I'm attracted to children Well He's maybe like 16 and a half Or 17 years old now But when this first happened Ira Glass is 16 and a half Sorry Yeah, that's why his voice is so youthful His poor name is Ira Ass God help us God help us God who doesn't exist Help us Go ahead He started an online Like a bulletin board for other Teenagers who are attracted to Children that don't want to They know that it's wrong to act on it And they are sort of like their own little AA group I'm not saying that they're affiliated with a 12 step program Because they're not It's a 12 year old stuff It's a really It's a really profound episode And what happened to them? They're still doing it They weren't arrested Yeah, they're trying to deal with their problems No, they're trying to make an awareness of it That's a great thing Yeah, to like say oh I have this problem And I'm gonna That takes a lot of courage to do that too But you know You can Accidentally Come across a site that you don't want to go to That happened You know I'm like a big animation fan So one time by accident You were like tentacle porn four year old No, by accident Just seeking out good animation I stumbled upon the Nambla Barbaras And Okay So I did A series of shows About a documentary That Made me Berg directed about pedophilia in Hollywood And one of the things that I learned Is something that I already knew Is that Pedophilia can't be cured Okay, so in the con And this makes me very angry And this is something never discussed And again Everybody nibbles around the edges Here is the question I kept asking this On the series of shows we did about The Hollywood pedophilia Quote unquote epidemic I asked Can pedophilia be cured And they all said no So if it can't be cured They pass a law In California that says If a pedophile goes To a shrink and says I have him The one you just told us about What do you do So what do you do Well I mean Some pedophiles are treated They're chemically castrated Some just rot in jail Some are just isolated I think they have to be This is way too big for me to even know What should be done But it seems that Some kind of Way could be figured out for people To they're not cured But they can control it A lot of people They're not really alcoholic And Supposedly I'll never be cured But I've controlled it And I've been part of a program That helps That's made me for almost 30 years now Not shrink So if there's no cure for it Then finding a cure Is a waste of time then But then something else has to be figured out To help someone control something That they're never going to be cured But we never talk about this The assumption that pedophilia Is a disease Is Very much debated It's a condition, not a disease Or is it a sexuality Exactly If you're born gay Can you just be born a pedophile I think they probably are born pedophiles So you just have to put them someplace Where there are no kids or young people Like the Friars Club That's why there's so many pre-deal men there Alex Brazil That was Alex's joke Very good He looks at me with such contempt right now Here's why I thought his eyes looked mirthful This is one of our best shows I just wish we should be doing this once a week I can totally always depend To come in here and talk about nice Lighthearted fun stuff After a long week Of writing material About racism and police brutality It's so refreshing to come And talk about racism and police brutality Talking Does any of these conversations Happen on The Nightly Show Yeah Where people are as stupid As I am and ill-informed Well our writing staff Goes from liberal to Extremely liberal The whole spectrum You know there are A couple people who are a little bit more Fact-checky and skeptical The second most conservative Guy on our writing staff Volunteered for Obama's campaign in 2012 So like But there are idealists And there are pragmatists And there are skeptics And some knee-jerk contrarians Also we got a couple of those And then a couple pathological narcissists To cap it out Fucking annoying as shit Anywho Brooklyn So hot right now Why?

All right good morning everyone and thank you for coming here today. My name is Michelle Hewitt and I am leading the public information efforts for Opasso County Public Health. Today we are joined by elected and appointed community leaders as well as local leaders from our public health community. Today's message to the public will address how local agencies have been managing and monitoring the potential for COVID-19 in our community as well as steps residents can take to prevent and prepare if this disease begins circulating in our community. Our speakers today are Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, Chair of the Opasso County Board of Commissioners Mark Waller, Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management Director Jim Reed, Opasso County Public Health Director and Incident Commander Deanne Ryberg, Opasso County Public Health Medical Director Dr. Robin Johnson, and Opasso County Public Health Regional Epidemiologist Marenny Claiborne. Also in attendance today but without a speaking role are members of our Colorado Springs City Council, Council Member David Geislinger, and Council Member Wayne Williams. We also have representation from our Opasso County Board of Commissioners Commissioner Holly Williams and Commissioner Lojino Gonzalez. We also have some truly wonderful representatives from our health care partners including UC Health Children's Hospital and Penrose St. Francis. With that being said I'd like to invite Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers for his statement. Good morning. As Mayor of Colorado Springs I want to assure all our citizens that the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County have been planning for this type of health emergency for many years and we're prepared to respond. Epidemiology, the branch of medicine that deals with prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, is a core function of public health. We're currently monitoring the situation very carefully and are currently in our continuous coordination through our Pike Speak Regional Office of Emergency Management with the El Paso County Public Health Department and the State of Colorado as well as our first responders and local health care agencies. This is a coordinated effort with the State, City, County and local entities working together but this is of course also a community issue. Like with any type of public health issue everyone plays an important role in protecting yourselves and your families. Please be attentive to credible sources of information in this case our public health department to learn what you need to do. As I think you'll hear today simply washing your hands frequently and staying home when sick is the best defense and the spread of any illness including coronavirus. There's a lot of publicity about coronavirus right now but the risk of contracting the virus remains low. There is no reason to panic but we know but please know we are taking it seriously. I encourage our community to take precautions but also feel safe to go about your daily lives. Well this is a new virus as I indicated our community has been preparing for this type of health issue for many years. The Pike Speak Regional Office of Emergency Management, El Paso County Public Health, our major health care systems and many local agencies and first responders regularly coordinate and practice for this type of situation. The City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County also have years of experience cooperating during emergencies. Last year as we know as you know we combined the City and County offices of emergency management and brought together years of knowledge and leadership under the single Pike Speak Regional Office of Emergency Management. I'm extremely confident in our Director Jim Reed and the talent and resources we have to support public health in this response. I also have the utmost confidence in our public health and health care systems and I'd like to recognize a few of our health care representatives here today. First of all Dr. David Steinbruner, Chief Medical Officer UC Health Memorial Hospital. Dr. Bill Plowth, Chief Medical Officer, Penrose St. Francis Health Systems and Greg Raymond, Chief Operating Officer, Children's Hospital Colorado. Thank you all for being here. Folks our hospitals our doctor's offices our urgent care facilities are the first line of response and I know they're poised and ready. We have some of the very best health care systems in the country right here in Colorado Springs and El Paso County. So thank you to everyone who is working together to ensure the public health and safety of our community and with that it's my pleasure to introduce the Chairman of the El Paso County Commissioners Mr. Mark Waller. Thank you Mayor Souther and thank you all for being here today especially members of the media to help us get out these very important words to the citizens of El Paso County. But let me just start here. Our community is in good hands. We are taking a collaborative approach between the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County to minimize the impacts of this virus. El Paso County Public Health Department is leading the response for us moving forward and for all that we've done up to now and their highly qualified staff is working around the clock to make sure that we are all safe and as well informed and prepared as possible moving forward. Public Health has actually been monitoring the COVID-19 virus since December of last year. They activated an emergency response team as of February 14th of this year. This talented and highly skilled team has been tracking the disease as it spreads through the United States. They've been coordinating with hospitals and working hand in hand with state and federal health agencies to achieve a common operational approach to handling this moving forward. And to be clear we are not waiting for COVID-19 to get here in El Paso County before we get started in the preparation process. And even though we have yet to see a confirmed case of COVID-19 here in El Paso County our staff and our public health department continues with a proactive approach to ensure the safety of our citizens. Even with all the public health has done and continues to do to limit the spread of COVID-19 we have to remember that each and every one of us are our own best defense against this disease. We have to take the responsibility for keeping ourselves and those around us healthy. And that starts with as the mayor said prevention. We have some medical experts here that are going to walk you through exactly what you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to promote credible sources of information and to protect yourself and those that are around you. Again we are in great hands with our local medical experts both throughout the community and at the El Paso County Public Health Department. Public Health has a team of highly qualified epidemiologists working to minimize the impacts of this disease in our community. In fact our public health directors got 24 years of experience as an emergency physician. Public Health is in close collaboration with the CDC and the state health department and they are receiving constant communication and guidance from those agencies in an effort to keep us all safe. Again we've got great people working on this and I'm going to let you hear from them shortly but let me finish on this note. We're working hard to be prepared to take care of the needs of our community and if we do this correctly and we all do our part we're going to be just fine moving forward. I'm going to turn it over to Jim Reed our OEM director. Thank you Commissioner Waller. Good morning I'm Jim Reed. I'm the director of the Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management. In 2018 the city of Colorado Springs and El Paso County government came together to form a regional office of emergency management and while no one could have predicted COVID-19 these sorts of situations are why this regional approach was formed. Think about it floods fires or diseases they don't respect political or jurisdictional lines. The Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management is actively supporting El Paso County Public Health the lead agency managing the response to the coronavirus in El Paso County. We're coordinating closely with El Paso County Public Health and other local partners hospitals and state agencies to prevent the spread of this disease promote credible sources of information and protect the public. Our office has established a planning team to work with public health in anticipation of potential scenarios in our community. The planning team is coordinating our communications team to address public information and preparedness actions. Our virtual Emergency Coordination Center has been activated to support this team. This sort of thing is something that we prepare for full-time. That's true whether it's conducting response drills or coordinating continuity of operations plans to ensure our services continue. We're all working hard to protect and prepare our community. Now it's my great pleasure to introduce the incident commander deputy public health director Deanne Ryberg. Thank you. Good morning. I'm Deanne Ryberg deputy director at El Paso County Public Health. I would like to start by thanking our elected officials county city and community partners for their support. Preparing for something like this requires a community response and we appreciate the dedicated efforts and expertise from partners throughout El Paso County. I would also like to thank the talented epidemiologists and public health staff at El Paso County Public Health who have been working diligently to monitor and prepare for this situation since the first reports of novel coronavirus now known as COVID-19 were received. I would like to reiterate Commissioner Waller's message that although there are currently no identified cases of COVID-19 in El Paso County we are not waiting to prepare and plan to protect our community. As the lead agency in this response public health is taking proactive steps to protect the health of our community by making recommendations that are meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and reduce the number of people infected. Although we are currently faced with responding to a new virus our approach is certainly not new. Public health routinely plans practices and prepares for situations just like this. Our Board of Health has proactively set aside reserve funds for situations such as this so that we can be poised to increase our capacity and respond to this situation. We are confident in our agency and our partners ability to respond we are utilizing our public health emergency operations plan which contains tools and processes to assess potential exposures identify ill individuals and implement appropriate measures to mitigate the spread of disease to effectively respond to complex needs of this rapidly evolving situation public health has activated our incident command structure this allows us to be more nimble and more efficient in our coordination of logistics resources and public information and planning efforts. We are in constant communication with our partners at the federal level at CDC the state health department Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and other local public health agencies to gain knowledge of the current situation anticipate potential impacts to our community and coordinate efforts related to in multi-sector response this allows us to have a much more comprehensive and effective approach as a community we are united around a shared goal to keep our citizens healthy we are confident in the fact that we have established a robust response framework with partners who stand ready to address any challenge we may encounter and I would like to invite our medical director Dr. Robin Johnson to join us to share more information about the health considerations of COVID-19. Good morning I'm Dr. Robin Johnson medical director of El Paso County Public Health and what I'd like to start with which is probably you already know is what is the novel coronavirus and why have we changed the name as we go along so coronavirus is actually a family of viruses and there's different members when we speak of it being novel it means it's new it's the first time that we've seen it in the human population and it's called novel coronavirus 2019 because that's the year that we first identified it in that population and because it's fairly cumbersome to continually say novel coronavirus 2019 it has been shortened to COVID-19 and that is how we have come to that name and that's how we're referring to it just so you understand that there's no difference between what we're speaking on what we'd like to talk about is how is COVID-19 spread and we know that it is spread through droplets that is the spray that is produced when we cough or sneeze so when we talk about avoiding our close contacts that's usually about the distance that a sneeze or cough would spread those droplets and it's about six feet so the best way to prevent that spread is really practice practicing good respiratory hygiene and etiquette so we really recommend if you do have a cough or a sneeze that you cough into your elbow or your sleeve that if you are out and about that you wash your hands frequently and that you also avoid touching your nose your mouth or your eyes as this is where you would pick up and allow the virus to enter if you are ill we are asking that you stay home because the best way we can prevent this is by you distancing yourself from other people who are healthy and the other piece that we would look at is to remember that we're in the middle of respiratory season and so there's a lot of viruses that are actually in the community right now and already circulating these are the same precautions you would use for those and in addition we know that influenza is still in our community and we would really emphasize and encourage you to go ahead and get your flu vaccine if you have not gotten it yet. The second aspect of approaching this healthcare is not only prevention but promotion and we really are asking that you know your sources of information and that they are reliable and fact-based we really want to be promoting facts and not fear. The third piece as we move forward with addressing this virus from a health care perspective is the protection and we protect not only ourselves but those in our community that we care about whether there are family members our neighbors our friends family members and neighbors grandparents is that we prepare so being prepared to stay home if you have symptoms is really important and we know that about 80 percent of people with coronavirus have mild symptoms so you may be home feeling fairly good so think about what you would need for the two weeks that you might be staying home and what would it look like you might need you know your comfort food which could be ginger ale tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich but also making sure that you have your medications that you would need at that time and preparing just those simple steps without having to prepare for the next six months so when we go out to buy supplies be be diligent but reasonable and we all have a role to play I think it's really important that we come together as a community and realize that when we do have an illness we're going to reach out to our physicians and call first talking through what those symptoms look like really deciding together if we can stay home with symptomatic care when they may need to see you or may need to test you and then being sure that if we're advised to take certain medicines that we do follow our physicians advice and when we're advised to stay home that we do so because we are also those who will be protecting again our family and neighbors so with that I'd like to turn this over to maryne clay I'm sorry maryne claver she is our regional epidemiologist thank you good morning as an epidemiologist much of my work focuses on studying diseases how they spread and educating people on what they can do to prevent themselves and others from getting sick when thinking about coronavirus or COVID-19 we want to make sure that people understand what the symptoms are and when to contact a doctor if someone has a fever dry cough or shortness of breath we recommend that they call a medical provider it's important to remember almost everyone with COVID-19 has a fever which would be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit be sure to call ahead before you show up at a doctor's office urgent care or an emergency room when a new respiratory disease is circulating we understand that there can be concern and people may feel the need to purchase masks wearing a face mask is not recommended for people who are not sick it's important to that we save those masks for our health care providers who are in close contact with the sick people the most important steps to take to prevent the spread of illness in the community are to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds using soap and water and if you don't know how long that is you don't know how long that is you can sing the abc song twice if you don't have access to hand washing facilities you can use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 alcohol content you should clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces just with what you are already using every day nothing special stay home if you're sick and last but not least make sure you have the most accurate information about the disease and please share it with your friends and family i'd like to thank everyone again for coming here today to discuss this emerging topic i would again reiterate that we really encourage people to seek out those accurate credible sources of information you can find information on alpaso county public health website and please reach out if you have any questions i'd now like to open it to broader questions i think there certainly is a lot of misinformation that circulates it's hard when a new virus hits because there's a lot of fear around that and we completely understand that concern and that's where we really encourage people to seek out your public health officials your health care those sources that are going to have that information that's coming directly from various entities so we are in close contact with the centers for disease control and prevention the state health department local public health agencies hospitals so those are your sources that are really going to have that up-to-date information and we would encourage that people seek out those sources and share that with their audience so we'll start with the health department the incident commander what they've done is uh and i'll let her speak to it but we're there to support them so why don't you go ahead and start with your incident command structure that you've set up and then we'll go from there is that good so within the health department we have activated our incident command structure and what that does is allow us to streamline our response and bring together our specialists to focus on specific areas including our communications efforts the logistical supports we need for this response and our operations component that includes uh regular monitoring of the disease progression so that allows us to be more nimble and responsive and it also allows us to leverage our supports within the agency more efficiently and within the community so i would like to reiterate that 80 percent or more of individuals infected with COVID-19 will have mild symptoms and the best place of care for those individuals is to remain at home and monitor their health in their homes and that will help prevent overburden on our health care systems and all of our health care systems have been working very closely with El Paso County Public Health to plan and coordinate to create additional flexibility and capacity so that we can address the health needs of our community and uh leading some of those efforts has been our medical director dr robin johnson would you care to sure so i i think it's really important to understand the um messaging that we are giving so as we work through um what that means for communication and making sure that we have appropriate allocation of our resources then we have reached out to our providers not only from the hospital systems that are represented here today but our private practitioners as well so that our messaging is consistent and that they we can facilitate to answering the questions of our patients and clients that may be out in the community and then assuring that they know what to be watching for and can call in if they have changes and with the advice of their physician can make the choice to get tested to or to seek higher levels of care that tertiary system of showing up at an urgent care or an emergency room and then again notifying those agencies that they are going to be arriving and um does that answer the question so the hospitals are constantly as we in public health do some background and we're constantly thinking about emergency preparedness they have those same processes in place and they are addressing that and we are speaking about some of the innovations and things that we can do to be prepared and protect not only the community that is out and at large but the community that is already in the hospital for other reasons and so yes they are preparing for that so as an epidemiologist that's what we would do under any circumstance of any disease is once we find that one case um our responsibilities tried to determine where that it came from and then by speaking to that individual as well as um seeing where they have been in a certain period of time for which they would have been contagious to others so that's part of a regular routine system of surveillance that we do um in terms of would we quarantine or isolate so an ill individual at this point in time we are recommending be isolated meaning they're away from other people so that they can't share it with anyone else for at least um well we're doing serological testing so we know when they no longer have the virus is what they're practicing in other parts of the country so we would do the same given that guidance at this point in time um once that that person is clear of the virus then we would say that they can come out of isolation for people that we know that have been around them um we at this point in time will be recommending a quarantine of 14 days from the last day that they were around that person um and so we will work individually with each of those persons to talk through what that looks like you are correct that we have no confirmed cases in El Paso County or Colorado at this time there has been a lot of work between our federal partners at Centers for Disease Control and our state partners at the uh state lab to increase our testing capabilities for the state testing is ongoing throughout the state and what we are focused on is our response should a test result be positive our state lab has capacity and is doing testing and if a test were to come back positive we will be taking action on that so so we are not speaking at this point to county level testing data because for one thing that is um confidential information for the people who are being tested and the informative part of the testing that we need to take action on and that we would share with our community is if we have a positive test the negative tests occurring are less informative to our response certainly I'd be happy to so isolation is in reference to somebody who is ill and because of their symptoms we are asking them to stay home quarantine is a recommendation for a person who is not ill but because of an exposure concern we are also asking them to stay home so the difference being illness uh resulting in isolation versus quarantine yes so what we do know that is circulating in our community right now is flu so before we um test for COVID-19 we are going to rule out some of the things that we know are already circulating in our community and that helps us focus our laboratory capacity more efficiently on identifying the testing that we do need to focus on so I would like to ask our medical director to come up as she's been coordinating some of our communication around testing sure so when we um the the test is being developed and actually has obviously been developed so it was being held at the CDC because we have to not only produce the number of tests but there has to be validation of the lab so that we know that we're getting an accurate test at this point the test is available at our state public health lab and they do have increasing numbers the tests as those become available at this point it is not an unlimited resource so we still are using clinical acumen as we decide on our patients that will need to be tested and we're doing that in conjunction with our clinicians in the various agencies and their communication with the lab to assure that we are being good stewards of the resources that we do have and I'm sorry you had a second part yeah and so that exactly there is um some variability to that it was longer when we had to curry it to the CDC now that it is at the state level it is much quicker it's 24 to 48 hours if we have increasing numbers there may be a queue but we're anticipating that we could get the test results back in 24 to 48 hours at this point yes so that is part of what we're asking our community to really think through in the preparation so if you were to have a family member that became ill what would you want to do to be able to take care of them and that may be that it's going to be that two-week period so understanding what that would look like with your work and I know that businesses are talking through what that would look like maybe telecommuting and some other options that will be available and you'll be needing to talk to your businesses and your own program managers about that but also having the supplies that you would want to again care for them at home that's all right yeah so we are really working on streamlining that and there are various agencies across right so it starts with your own PCP your own primary care physician there's also hospital lines and health link at El Paso County we do have our call-in number and the availability there's also co-help from the state level that you can call in and there are resources I believe that are being passed out with those links so that individuals will know who to call and we are getting those messages out where you can get the information if there were to be you know you're not getting through to the number and the time that you would like that there are options of expertise that you could call to absolutely so estimates for the response that will be required are an evolving evaluation of the situation as things evolve we may need to leverage more resources we have resources that our board of health has set aside to help us be prepared to be able to flex capacity within our agency we also have state partners who advocate and are receiving federal support that will enable this to be a robust response so as the situation evolves we will be determining what capacity we need what supports we need and advocating for that let me let me talk about that real quick if there is an event that does come to us and we need the resources there are federal dollars they go from federal to state to the local community and that's not an unusual thing that happens all the time we've seen that during Waldo Canyon fire and Black Forest fire and a few others so that that system's already in place and just know those dollars will come our way so I can speak to the military bases we've been coordinating with all military bases within El Paso County we've already started that communication bill I'll turn that over to the doc so I think that some of this is in that realm again of preparation and we live here in Colorado and routinely you know you get in your car you make sure that you've got gas you've rotated your tires and you put your seatbelt on knowing that you have things to get about in your day and there's an opportunity for an accident but that's not what drives us however when there's a snowstorm coming we stop and rethink that and we prepare a little different we put a blanket perhaps a shovel some food and water in case we were to be in the snowbank and then as these things are spreading and we look at the storm as it approaches we stop to rethink we use some common sense is this really the storm I need to go to right out in I'm sorry should I leave home or would today be a day it would be prudent to just hang out in my home and I think that those are the questions that individuals need to be answering as they look at what is occurring and you can look at the CDC website to see what the travel advisories are and I would advise that you really consider those seriously and then take some time to pause and say it is this a trip I do need to take or perhaps we can rearrange my travel plans it depends upon what the nature of the economic impact is there's the governor the governor can declare a an emergency trigger funds coming our way and things like that there's you know obviously the things I'm concerned about a cancellation of events and to a certain extent those sorts of losses are not recoverable from the city standpoint it also always translates to tax revenue and it just means we have less money to spend next year and we have to make scrutinize the budget and make decisions because unlike the federal government we have to have a balanced budget so as we conclude today I just wanted to share a resource the state does have co-help which is a hotline available to the public with any general questions about COVID-19 and that number is 1-877-462-2911 and they have that available in English Spanish Mandarin and many other languages so I'd like to thank everyone again for coming and let you know that public health will be available for questions as well as representatives from your local hospitals thank you thank you

Nikola Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in 1856 in what is now Croatia. He became a citizen of the United States in 1891. Among many other inventions, he worked on how to send electromagnetic energy without wires. In 1891, he painted an alternator for creating current at some 10,000 Hz. It was also among the first equipment to reliably produce long-wave radio. In 1892, Tesla demonstrated in London the transmission of radio signals. His technology was aimed at delivering electricity without wires, but in the 1897 patent he filed in the United States, Tesla stated that the invention would obviously have many other valuable uses, as for instance when it is desired to transmit intelligible messages to great distances. In 1899, Tesla built a high-voltage transformer, which he was said could generate 300,000 watts of power and produce an artificial bolt of lightning some 40 meters long. Now known as a Tesla coil, the inventor called it a magnifying transmitter. The idea was not only sent electricity, but also to construct a worldwide system for radio transmissions. The first transmitter was built in 1901 at Wardenclyffe on Long Island. Tesla hoped eventually to provide a global navigation and broadcasting service, but the project was ended because of cost. Tesla was never able to realize his vision of a freely powered and connected world.

Well, well, good afternoon. Did you say what rather unusual time for us to have our seminar, but nonetheless, very welcome to this week's Monday seminar. I'm Steve Zhang and Director of the China Institute, and we have a fantastic speaker today from Canada who will be talking to us on a very important subject. Many of you who have been interested in developments in China. We will have noticed that since 2013 with the issue of document number nine, China under Xi Jinping had banned certain concepts, including civil society. In a sense, it has been what is subject of this afternoon seminar is about it has banned contentious politics not supposed to happen. We are supposed to have a harmonious society in China now. So, our speaker will talk to us on the very subject of contentious contentious politics in China under Xi Jinping rule. And she is Professor Lynette, she is an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto. She started her academic career as a an N1 postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. And she had also, when she is not at Toronto, spent time visiting institutions like in China, Beijing University and Fudan University and in North America, Harvard. She is the author of a really first class book, POSPA or Purish Credit and Fiscal Systems in rural China, which came out in 2012. I think the year when Xi Jinping became the leader of China. I'm not sure which was the more important matter at the publication of the book or Xi Jinping becoming becoming leader of the Communist Party. But with that, let me hand it over to you Lynette. And then we will have discussions after you share your thoughts with us over to you. Okay, can everyone hear me okay. All right, great. Thank you Steve for the introduction. Very is really my honor to be here presenting my working paper with my graduate student Kevin Lowe. We are going to talk about contentious politics in China, drawing on data, a data set that we have been building on protests in China that happened over the last 15 years or so. We are also going to be drawing on publicly available state statistics on public security spending. So this is the context of our paper. And also what motivates our paper is that we know that political landscape in China under Xi Jinping's rule has actually undergone an autocratic turn in really various dimension and various aspects. There has been increased state control and intensified repressive instruments in terms of ideology we have heard about, you know, China dream Xi Jinping thought a lot of resources and funding has been given to universities to study ideology because the ideology is one of the ways that the state legitimize its rule increased restriction on how civil society works, basically shrinking the space in which civil society could operate. We also see, you know, in establishment of CCP institutions within private sector and private enterprises. We have a lot of talk on urban grid and social credit system for surveillance purposes. There's been curtailment of labor rights a lot of labor labor rights activists have been rounded up and also equally important coverage on religious and ethnic minorities, repression, particularly concentration camp being built in Xinjiang. And all those repression, there's also been slowing economic growth and growing unemployment in some parts of the country, and surely that has an impact independently on, on protest activities independent of repression. Given these mirad of, of things going on in, in China, in China under Xi Jinping's rule, how do citizens then respond to these changing political and economic environments. So that is what motivated our study. Generally, this literature has painted kind of two phases of China's security state and these two phases are sometimes even contradict each other. People have written about the rise of Chinese security state. This tenement. So since 1989 from early 1990s, there is been, there's been quite a lot of evidence. If we look at the statistics on public security, we know that the funding devoted to public security has actually increased. And public security agency has been given increased prominence in terms of their ranking within the bureaucratic system. And since Hu Jintao second term that is from 2007 onwards, public security spending has actually increased faster than defense related expenditures. And for the first time in 2010 expenditure on domestic public security has actually exceeded defense ex expenditures. And in 2016, the gap between them has widened to 13%. At the same time, you know you have the civil society law being being passed, which restricted civil society activities. The overall picture of increased all the rise of Chinese security state really mask a lot of regional as well as sectoral variation. And that is what we wanted to contribute to. We think this overall national level picture might be true, but it actually mask, it might be oversimplifying a lot of regional and sectoral variation. Because first of all, we know that China has actually implemented since 80s and early 90s has implemented fiscal decentralization, meaning that local governments, and in this case provincial and county level governments actually left to finance their public securities, right, left to finance their own salaries for the police and how they would then repress or deal with protesters. So you, we are likely to see these uneven public security spending across provinces. So wealthier provinces have more resources to spend on public security. So provinces also have more resources to spend on public goods in general. This includes education, health, health care pension, and so forth, where it's poorer provinces because they are poorer. They have less of resources to spend on public goods, including public security. So we draw our data from this data set that I've been building for quite some time, which is based on which practice cases based on media reports. So this is a collection of Chinese as well as Western media on on the reports of contentious activities in mainland China. And we collect cases from, you know, over a wide range of period, but from on this particular paper we draw on cases from 2007 onwards, which is the second half of who when period and compare that with cases from 2012 to 2016, which is the first term of Xi Jinping period. So we have four years from who when period and the first four years from Xi Jinping rule and trying to compare these two periods. And we measure different dimensions of protest according to length, length, participant size, locality, and then the protest, then also broken down into different grievance type. There's an education type of protest like all the teachers salaries, ethnic protest environment, human rights, health care, homeowners protest, investment type investment related type protest which is really has really mushroomed until recently before it's cracked down mushroom last couple of years in China, because of proliferation of P2P or peer to peer online platform. And then went bankrupt. So you see a lot of investors that have lost their lifetime savings then gone out to protest. Labor rights protests which has been very common since 90s, labor protest divided into private sector labor protest and SOE or state law enterprise labor protest, miscarriage of justice nationalist protest, protest over police brutality and that includes in a brutality of Chenguan, which is semi semi state or semi formal security in in China, in charge of controlling street vendors, private matters, taxi and petty caps, and protest over taxes and veterans practice. This is a breakdown of practice according to different grievance type number of incidents in from 2009 to 12 and 2013 to 2016. If we look at the change in incidents over these two period. Education protests have gone up, environment has gone up, homeowners protest have gone up tremendously. And these are protests by individual homeowners against not the local government but against people property management companies, companies that actually manage their properties. Let's say if your drainage is not managed properly. If your neighborhood compounds are poorly managed, and you get a lot of pollution. People will often homeowners will often complain to property management companies, right, which is a private firm. And these are the protests have actually proliferated. Human rights protests have also increasingly increased by 57% over the two periods. Investment related practice like I've mentioned earlier the P to P type of investment, a lot of them have gone upside down. That has caused some grievances. This has also increased marginally. SOE protests have gone down, because on the seating pin. There's actually been consolidation of state on enterprises right so few will state on enterprise reform. So few will state on enterprise labor protests. The police brutality protests has declined and this is not so much police brutality but but brutality of Chenguan, which is same informal type of type of security that walked around urban urban China and trying to control movement of micro workers, how informal street vendors run their businesses. They were known to be very violent. About 10 15 years ago, but there has been a series of local governance reform to try to image to try to improve their properties to try to move to improve their, their governance and the way in, in, in which they are funded. And that has. The overall improved governance of Chenguan. Taxi and petty caps. This has also declined because there has also been cracked down and reform of the sector so in the first half of the period. There was the rise of DD and, and, and no ordering of caps during on during mobile apps. And that has caused a lot of competition to traditional taxi drivers, and hence you see a lot of protests of bi taxi drivers in the first first period. In terms of protest, it has been no, no change. In terms of protest size has been largely the same X except you know, I think taxi and petty caps protest have also increased in large in larger size. Investment protests have gone up and land rights protests even though the numbers have declined slightly. The overall size have in have increased slightly by about 25%. The overall distribution of protest but there has been an increase in urban located protest. So more protests are being staged in urban areas now, except you know, land and ethnic protest and environment protests are still concentrated in rural areas. Labor protests are concentrated generally in pro river Delta which around Guangdong region. And there's young the river Delta in Gejiang and Jiangsu area which is not surprising because these are the two areas with the highest concentration of factories. And that ranks highest in terms of land and labor protest and sorry land and housing protest and I'll show you the amount of public security spending in Guangdong in a minute and you could see the correlation between the two. Interestingly, environmental protest used to concentrated in more wealthier and urban areas, but that is in the last in the second period has actually extended beyond Guangdong, Gejiang and Fujian into places even like in the Mongolia, Jiangxi and Sichuan. I think this is overall kind of the spread of increased appreciation for the environment changing in citizens attitude towards the environment that that we have witnessed over the last decade or so. And that is I think reflected in increased environmental protest. And I say, you know, homeowners protests have been dispersed, you know, throughout different provinces with varying level of development. And again, I think that reflects kind of people changing values. They are more, they are more less hesitant these days to bring grievances against property management companies. So if we look through, throughout, you know, different types of protests. Generally, environmental protest and home ownership protest, they are least least repressed compared to other types of protest. So they are less sensitive, as far as the government is concerned, because home ownership protest is generally directed towards private companies. So, so less repressive type of protest have actually gone up quite significantly, right, and spread to other less wealthier provinces. But but labor protests and ethnic type of protest which is very heavily repressed. We have seen a decline in numbers. You know, different dynamics going on here. This shows you provincial public security spending as a percentage of total government expenditures. So out of total provincial government expenditures, the percentage going to public security. So the percentage going to maintaining public security or China or in Chinese is called we went. So, I don't know how well you could see this but let me try to enlarge the, the funds. So, generally, you could see that the province spends between four and 8% on public securities. This is the consistent trend throughout most of the provinces, between four and eight and 8% And Guangdong is an exception. Guangdong in the first in the warm period spent close to 12% in late to 2010s on public security. And I'm way is lower compared to other provinces in terms of how much they spend on public security. So you could see generally that wealthier provinces like Guangdong and Beijing spend more than poor provinces like I'm with us. So higher in Beijing, Fujian, Guangdong, and lower in Anhui, Gansu, and Guizhou. So this reflects kind of the nature of fiscal decentralization in China and the fact that public security is locally funded. And if we were to compare the two periods if we draw kind of 2013 f dividing line with when Xi Jinping came came to power. Generally, public security spending declined in the second half of one era. But then when Xi Jinping came to power just generally an uptick. In most provinces, even with the uptick, it has never recovered to the peak in the warm period. Right. So even with so much talk and so much energy given to how Xi Jinping has become more repressive, judging from the statistics on spending, it has never recovered to in the warm period. I think the reason is that the major reason is that Zhou Yongkang was the secretary of Zhou Yongkang was first of all Minister of Public Security from 2002 to 2007. He made it the secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission from 2007 to 2012 that is Zheng, Zheng Huawei Shu Jing. So he had a lot of power at the time he wanted to build his empire around public securities. And then he was he actually made public public social unrest date data, right, saying that you know social unrest cases have been increasing in China, which then justifies more resources being devoted to public security. And he was placed under investigation for corruption in 2013. And he came to power because you know Xi Jinping thought that he was, he was in a rival faction and he was being too ambitious. So, since then, security spending has actually gone down. This shows you the same thing but but from in a different set of provinces and overall you could see that in our poor provinces, poor provinces like Qinghai, public security spending is lower than other provincial trends. And exception is of course in Xin in Xinjiang, right, which has gone up tremendously. It's spending has gone up tremendously since 2014 or so. Zhou Yong has also devoted a lot of resources more so than other provinces to public security spending because it's a wealthier wealthier province and it could afford it. So a lot of regional variation. And if we talk about national train it actually mask provincial variation significantly. And this, and we were interested in whether what is the function or what is the relationship between public security spending and protest incident. Right. So, so does the government spend on public security in order to preempt protest in advance, or do they use it to repress protest post hoc. We were interested in the sequence between these two type of relationship. So here we have, we lack public security spending so this is public security in the previous year. The dependent variable is protest incidents in the current year. And we control for level of urbanization, level of unemployment, population size, GDP per capita and GDP growth. Here we realize that you know, public security spending in the previous period actually has a negative effect on on protest incidents, suggesting that the nature of repression in China is that it's actually that of a preemptive nature, which means government spend in spend in order to preempt protest. Right. Also interestingly, GDP per capita has a positive and as well as significant effect on protest incidents, right in a wealthy area, you would imagine society relationship is more complicated and hence you are more likely to see more protest. But then again, if region experience high GDP growth, that is able to ameliorate or alleviate the positive relationship between GDP per capita, and, and, and protest. So if you want to keep protest level low. This, this regression model suggests that a problem should spend more on on public security in advance to preempt protest. If you are a region with high GDP per capita that is not really within your control. But if you keep GDP growth up that is able to alleviate the effect of GDP per capita the positive relationship. We thought that was that was that was interesting because there's been a lot of descriptive literature on on preemptive repression and here because we combine two sets of data we are able to show that repression is really off a preemptive nature in China at the provincial level. This shows you the repressive capacity of different regions versus protest incidents. So the x axis is the ratio of spending on repression or public security over total public expenditures. And this is the protest incidents per capita. So this is, this is a general regional variation. I want to highlight you provinces that fall into this bottom right hand quadrant and obvious one being Xinjiang, the Xinjiang spends a lot on on public security, right, you saw the numbers earlier, but he has also able to keep incidents under control, which which it's money pretty much well well spent. Yes, it does spend a lot of money more than other provinces to but is is protest incidents per capita on the per capita basis is also much lower than other provinces. The flip side of this situation is those provinces or municipality in the top hand quadrant. So, you know, a municipality like like like Beijing, which also spends a lot on public security, but see very high protest incidents per capita. Right, and Guangdong is largely because of labor labor rights protests, as well as practice over over over land. And we know that Guangdong has always had a different context and background is traditionally known as a more or less a more rebellious province, which the center has traditionally had issue exerting control over. And, you know, for those of you who have been to Guangdong and done in a few research in Guangdong, particularly around governance and and protest issues, you know that people in Guangdong behave very differently, they think differently and behave differently. There's a lot of disdain for authority from coming from from Beijing their strong local, localism type of attitude going on in that part of China. And Beijing, there's a lot of protest cases but there's also important to bear in mind that grievance actually do not necessarily have to originate from Beijing, a lot of people travel from other provinces far away provinces, they travel to Beijing and stage petition and stage petition in Beijing because Beijing protests could generally attract the attention of central level officials right. So you see more protests in Beijing in Beijing doesn't mean that Beijing is more one than other provinces, it just means that other people, people from other parts of China go to Beijing to protest. Left hand, left top quadrant. These are provinces who do not have a lot of money like in the Mongolia to spend on on protest. They decide not to spend a lot but but protest incidents are also quite high or relatively high. The top left hand quadrant which is most provinces fall under relatively speaking they do not spend a lot on on protest repression. They also do not have a lot of protest and obvious instance being other way. Right. These are generally poorer provinces. This shows you repressive capacity versus protest size. It's slightly different dynamics for Xinjiang is more or less the same and guandong's location or geographical in the, in the, it's spot in the to access more or less the same Beijing as you could see, in terms of if you measure it in terms of protest is size is relatively smaller but in terms of protest incidents it was high up here right and and other way in terms of protest sizes is is higher but in terms of protest incidents it was low down here. So, so, you know, that tells you different relationship between protest and repressive capacity. Now let me, let me end with this slide on what does this tell us about Xi Jinping's rule. Is there a Xi Jinping effect. We know that, you know, under Xi Jinping's rule, Chinese governance has actually taken an autocratic turn, but protest has not actually declined just judging by numbers alone. And in terms of increased repression, like we hear and read from from media and social media every day. That is actually not reflected in the data at all, or put more more precisely I think data suggested more fine grain data suggested there's actually a great deal of variation in terms of repression in China. In places like Xinjiang, it has definitely gone up tremendously places like Guangdong and, and Jo Jiang, devote more resources to to repression because they could afford to do so. But by and large most of the provinces, which are relatively poor, they actually don't have that much resources to devote to repression or public goods in general, and public security is is seen as one of the many forms of public goods repression. Like I say, a great deal of regional variation is quite difficult to generalize. There's been quite a bit of sectoral variation too. And we are doing we are conducting in a more analysis and more investigation into sectoral variation but I think it suffices to say that you know in different sectors, I think protesters in different sectors face political opportunity. Right. And yes, we have increased repression, but there's also slowing economic growth and slowing economic growth, you know, affects some sectors more than other sectors. You can imagine some sectors such as labor might actually benefits from slowing economic growth. Right. Because you know, there's there's there's kind of fewer economic activities going going on on the one hand so you would imagine factory size might actually shrink factories numbers might might actually shrink. But also those existing factories might have trouble paying their workers, and then more workers would then go out and stage protests. Slow economic growth definitely has a dampening effect on labor or sorry on land rights type of process because slowing economic growth generally means slowing construction activities, fewer, fewer construction, fewer land grabs, and therefore fewer land related type of sectoral governance reform have been implemented in Chenguan in in PDP investment platforms that has been clamped down by by the central government, and hence we also see fewer protests in those sectors because of governance reform. And of course, like all data, our data is subject to some measurement issues, like all media related data. It is bias, generally there was a bias towards urban type of protest because reporters tend to have more access on more access to protest in urban localities. And reporters also tend to pay more attention to larger protests so smaller protests may be missed and under reported. But I think we source our data from different different sources, and I think overall we are able to to balance out some of these, these measurement issues. The question mark here in as far as contentious politics is concerned in China, a big wild card is where is the economy going right, and I think slowing economic growth in China which is more of a structural issue will have a major determinant over the direction of process. And I think you know increased repression applies really. It definitely applies to Xinjiang and in other region. There is there is the type of repression at least reflected in the in the numbers that I have shown you have not actually increased that that tremendously. I think with the pandemic it has hit some groups more than other groups such as in a migrant workers more than other other sectors. Let me just end with the other word of caution which is repression in China. What I've shown you is repression that could actually be measured, which is in terms of public security spending, but there are other types of repression in China, a lot of it is not reflected in numbers. For instance, the state might actually mobilize you know, neighborhood committees and stayed on enterprise managers to exert influence over protesters that work in that unit or live in the neighborhood to convince them to not go out to the street to protest. Right there has been quite a bit of literature on this type of relational or informal type of repression I've written some about this sort of repression too. So this sort of repression is not easily measured in a quantitative sense. And I think that sort of repression might actually be ramped up, even though overall spending in public security has not increased all that much. So this is the other hand that this is the other side of the picture that I think we need to pay attention to and this is something that is not captured by statistics. So I will end here and look very much forward to your questions. Thank you very much. That was a fantastic talk, I think extremely interesting data that you have shared with us and very interesting observations as well. We already have a good number of questions in the Q&A box. So if you have any questions to leave forward, I would certainly like to use the privilege of the chair and ask a question first. But before that, let me just remind everybody that if you would like to ask a question, it would be helpful if you could who you are, but if you would prefer your identities to be kept secret, just say so, and the confidentiality will be respected, but it will be helpful for me to know whether you are an academic colleague from somewhere else or whether you are a student and whether you're undergraduate or PhD student, give us a better sense of where the question is coming from. Now, let me start off by asking you about your very, very interesting data set on the grievance types. Well, I found something very interesting in the data you provided. In terms of the ethnic labor police brutality and taxi pedicabs categories. They've all in fact fallen. They were the inactive territories. Ethnic, yes. Labor rights and police brutality correct. Correct. And taxi cap too. Yes, correct. Now, what does that actually tell us? I mean, particularly if something like taxi cap seems to sort of stand out as a separate one. But when we are looking at the ethnic, the labor and the police brutality categories. And given that we know in general terms of the increase in repression under Xi Jinping compares to the Hu Jintao era. Right. So you would expect that there will be more complaints in this categories, not less complaint in this categories. Right. So the fact that they are significantly negative requires an explanation. What does it tell us does it mean that, for example, the repression was actually effective. And therefore there's a sort of intimidating effect. And therefore, people raise less issues. Is that right or is there something else, something much more important. Yeah, you know, this is one area that we that we are trying to look closer into taxi and pedicabs. As well as police brutality with respect to Cheng Guan. This is because of governance reform in the Cheng Guan sector. So under Xi Jinping, Cheng Guan is better paid. There was an economist article I think just two or three weeks ago that talks about Cheng Guan. Right. They used to be very violent. And this would just openly beat up street vendors, some 1015 years ago, but in the last five years, their image has actually improved. They are better paid they are better trained and better funded. And I think that so that might be a supply site issue too. In terms of taxi and pedicabs. In one period, that was the beginning of mobile app. You could order, you know, DD through mobile app. So a lot of taxi drivers felt increased competition. Right. So, so they went out and stage protests usually coordinating with other taxi drivers within the same same city. But I think in the last couple of years, the government has also tried to control that sort of protest and then control how licenses were given in the different municipalities. So that has led to a decline. So a lot of it is, I think if we see decline is actually a result of supply site issue, which is, which is governance reform in that particular sector. Not necessarily increased, not usually because of increased repression. SOE reform, I will say that you know that is because of lesser SOE shutdown and just lesser SOE reform in general on the seating pin. Right. In fact, seating pin is trying to build the SOE sector so less, less protest. So ethnic, ethnic related protests, I think you, I think that is related to repression like that, like what you have pointed out earlier. Lesser protests being staged by Uighurs and other ethnic minorities because the government has actually kept a closer eye on, on, on those ethnic minorities people. Yes. So, you know, a range of reasons. Let me move on to the questions that have come in through the Q&A box is a question from Dr. Jeanette Liao from the University of Dundee. The question, having thank you for your enlightening, enlightening talk, her question is that it's very interesting to see the figures you have presented over the public security spending versus economic levels, which seems to have differed from common sense, which would assume that in poor regions, people would tend to protest more often. The preemptive repression model may explains this lower frequency of protests in richer areas, but can it explain what has happened in the poorer regions? The example of Xinjiang seems to suggest that such kind of spending is also closely related to the central government's policy. You know, that's a great, great question. And I think there are several things going on here. I think, you know, overall protest is, I would say, you know, protest in general tends to happen in wealthier areas because social relationship in wealthier areas are more complex. Right. There's more, there's more, there's more factories. There's more economic activities. And if governance is not improved, more activities means that there's greater opportunities for conflicts to occur between citizen groups as well as between state and society. And I think even from descriptive statistics, we could see that, you know, even you could say that, you know, counter common sense, against common sense, protest tends to happen in wealthier areas. So if we talk about, if we talk about when there's an economic shock, right, when there's, when we have economic crisis, a lot of people turn out to protest. And I think that is different if you were to compare a bunch of regions in terms of economic disparity. So if you have an economic shock, I think if you have a one shock effect that that that sort of shock will generally stimulate people to protest more. But that is different from comparing provinces with different protest level. And the other dimension of the other question that she asked, I don't, I don't remember. But, but anyway, so I hope I've addressed the gist of it, unless you know, Steve remembers the second part of Janet's question. We have quite a few questions so I would. Okay. I will move on. The next one I would like you to address is one from one of our PhD students Melia. How, and she would like to ask you to what extent has censorship impact on your data collection process, which is based on Chinese media report question mark. Do you spot any patent of certain topics becoming so-called sensitive over the years. You know, very, very, you know, sensible and good question. So the data here stops in about 2015. I haven't shown you the data after 2015 because they are so far fewer cases after that. In 2015, you know, the central government really took heart rain over protest incidents reporting in the second half of Xi Jinping period in the first in the first half, we still read quite quite a lot about about protest cases. Rounding up of people collecting, you know, protests statistics, there's a guy in Sichuan, and a couple that has been collecting data on we will, those people were thrown into jail in the last couple of years. So we were lucky that in the first half we were still able to collect, collect incidents in terms of where we collect our cases. We, our sources came from a range of media, such as, you know, Bosun, Radio Free Asia, these are mostly western organization, or dissident organizations that have, you know, presence in China, if not in Hong Kong. And some of them have, have reporters base in China, or rely on eyewitness account and eyewitness reporting of, of incidents. So, you know, multiple sources and multiple ways in which they collect data. Okay. I have a related question from a colleague base at the Norwegian Institute for Defensed Research, Lime Marie Brinstrand. The question is, you say that the research is based on media reports. And this also including social media post. I would have thought that reporting on protest would be sensitive in and of itself. Dust. There would also be quite a lot of pressure to avoid such reporting wouldn't it. So this, my data set is source from, from websites, they are not social media. And there is actually quite a bit of distinction between between them. The website depends on two types of, of accounts on reporters reporting, as well as eyewitness account. Right. So, if my land has been grabbed, I went out to protest. I might, I might, I might report to website to say that you know I saw protest of 50 people about about land. But social media post is only based on eyewitness account. So the, the, the way in which reporting was done is different between these two type of sources. The other thing that I would say about I would about social media post is that you actually so people who work on social media data you see them reporting on large number of protest incidents. But typically a lot less information on each case, because typically when people post on we will, and social media, they, they report less information typically about grievance and protest sites and location that's it. But we have been able to measure different dimensions of protest, including, you know, differentiating where people are from and where they stage protest. Because we use data from websites that has a full reports of protest incidents. So you know they are some, some significant differences between these, these two sources. But you know I've, we have cross, we have cross check our, our trends as well as descriptive statistics with people like Jennifer Pan from Stanford who work on social media data. Generally, two sets of data show similar trends in, in terms of ways social unrest has been heading in the last couple of years. I'm changing directions completely. And this is a question from Dr. Sin Liu from the University of Central Lancaster. And the question is that you, sorry your data compares the last four years of the Hu Jintao Wen Jiao Bao administration with the first four years of the Xi Jinping administration. Do you think the picture would look different if you are comparing Xi Jinping's second term. In other words, the first four years, the first four years of Xi Jinping's second term which is still unfolding. I think the question is, are you comparing like with like when you're comparing the last four years of Hu Jintao with the first four years of Xi Jinping. Right. Good question. So, our motivation was to compare how much Xi Jinping has actually changed compared to one period which is his predecessor right. We, we don't have data for at least not shown here data for the last couple of last four years. So if you were to ask me how is protest like in the last four years I, I will have to speculate. I can tell you that just looking at raw numbers, protest have declined tremendously. And I think a lot of that might be due to censorship issue. We know that, you know, there's no American reporters based in China anymore no American, no Australian reporters based in men in China. Even domestic reporters have finally increasingly difficult to report on something like like protest. And I think this much harsher environment really took place since about four years ago. Since 2015, which is not reflected on data. So a lot more, a lot more difficult to get protest cases now. And partly for that reason we actually stopped in at the end of sitting things first, first time, where data was still relatively available. The follow up from Dr. Liu is a follow up from me, you said the data become much more difficult to gather into the third year of Xi Jinping's first term. What is your sense of why it got so much more difficult at that point. Why is it so much more repressive at that point. I think the central leadership has gone just more paranoid about about about protest. I think I think generally Chinese administration pre Xi Jinping have seen protest as having providing two sides of the coin. One is it is an expression of grievance, but it is also a way for central leadership to keep pulse of society. So unhappy why they are unhappy and the scale of the problem. But I think the current administration's attitude towards protest is, they don't even want to know where the problem is right. They just want to keep a lit on it, keep a very, very tight tight lip on it. So, so, so, so you have these two phases of what two different functions of what protests are supposed to serve. And under current leadership increasingly so they want to forget about the informational function of protest. They just want to focus everything on the grievance dimension of protest and for an authoritarian regime. It is not good for the people to express their grievance period. And I think, I think that is at least my sense of why, you know, it's increasingly difficult to get protest data. Okay, thank you. So a question from one of our PhD students. Johan's cargo. Can you tell us more about the nature of veterans protest in terms of location size and demands, please. Yes. Good question. There's been quite a bit of veterans practice and my understanding is. There has been reform going on in the, in the, in the military so veterans I think they used to be able to draw resources from all sorts of economic activities that they are allowed to run after, after they retired their organizations that could that could run economic activities and then they could draw some of the revenue. That has been reform quite significantly in the last couple of years. So, so, you know, those pocket money or extra funding has has dried up. And I think a lot of veterans unhappy because they, they, the formal pensions that they draw not sufficient to finance their livelihood with skyrocketing inflation rate and, and, and cost of living in China so it's a case of increasing expenses, but dwindling revenue is a case of what is going on in that, in that sector, and veterans protest is typically quite politically sensitive in China because they are seen as regime insiders right. So for you know Chinese scholars who have done a lot of interview work on veterans protest veterans are able to use a lot of emotional tactics to draw sympathy to the applied. You know what SOE protesters do in the late 90s when SOE will shut down a lot of in a lot of them were under reformed in the Tongbei area right. So E workers like veterans felt that they have been cheated by the system, because they contribute their lives and they'll use to the country and to the enterprises. But when, but when they get all the system or the government doesn't, doesn't really take care of them is that it does is that sort of sentiment that gives rise to a lot of emotions. And hence it typically attracts a lot of sympathy. Okay. Let's move to a somewhat run a different subject, which is a question from Matt Kennedy. How has the relationship between the party, particularly a party central and the provinces have evolved under Xi Jinping in comparisons to that under Hu Jintao the changing relationship between the party and the provinces. And I suppose that your question is directed to is with respect to public security spending right. Well, I can't tell you, because I'm not Matthew Kennedy. I think the mind understanding of it that just is really the relationship between the party central and the provinces, and was there significant changes between the Hu Jintao era, and the Xi Jinping era. There was significant changes. What were those changes, whether it is security or something else. Right. What they could tell you that is that, at least my general impression. In terms of political control, there has been political centralization. We know that Xi Jinping has with his anti corruption campaign has actually taken a lot of, you know, people out of the system and some of them include provincial provinces and provision party secretaries right. I charge them with with with corruption, and then take them out of the system and put in place his own people in those places so so I think in terms of political control. The center is now able to control province more effectively than before. So, so short so shorter leash and title control of central over provinces. So physical or economic control. I think China is still relatively speaking physically decentralized place public goods provision is still largely provided for by provincial governments or local governments, even though in some areas such as you know healthcare. It has benefited from central transfers, but I think it's still generally the case that public goods provision including public security varies across regions, because of the gaps in between provinces welfare areas have more money to spend on public goods and poorer provinces have fewer resources to to to spend. Let's move on and this next questions come from one of our postgraduate students. Sylvia Procina. The question is, should like to hear your opinions about whether protest incidents have ever had, or may have in the future, any discernible outcome on government policy. Yes, that's an interesting question. This is, this is about how responsive the government is to protest right. And before I address your question this, this, you know, goes back to my earlier point that protest actually is not all that because in a country like China where there's no feedback look through the government on how the society things of the government protest is a way really to keep power of the society is like running a public opinion poll. If there's a lot of protest in some areas you know that local governments, at least not perhaps not central government you know that at least local governments in those regions with a lot of protest are not very popular. Right, but when sitting being clamped down on protest, you lose sight of the informational function of of protest. So I studied, let's say land land protest find that there's been a bit of improvement. So, there was a lot of. So, let me give you a historical examples. There was a lot of protest against rural taxation and rural executions in the 90s. It was heaped in late 90s and early 2000s, like a lot of large scale and sometimes even violent protest against collection of rural taxes in late 90s. People for court, you know, they are actually forced to pay taxation greater than their annual income. They just couldn't afford it. This is this happened to peasants. George Intel came to power in 2003. One of the grand grand policies that he introduced with his, his legacy was abolition of agricultural tax and making those rural executions illegal. So, so village governments used to go around villages, knock on people's door and just collect any money they like to finance construction of goods to finance salaries of people working in village government. And all those have been made illegal when hushing cow came into power. And that and that was seen largely in response to protests going on in in late 90s which attracted in a worldwide attention even you get reporting in places like like like new times. So, so in that respect, the government has been responsive. Without being safe, you know, China being China you have central government policies, local governments have all sorts of way to to get around it, and some governments to quietly go around and and collect executions that still happens. There are other ways to find to finance their public goods and services, but by and large, that sort of blatant collection of illegal executions have actually stopped because of that policies that was introduced that was largely seen as in response to protest in the previous period. So yes, government has been responsible to some extent. Thank you very useful. So the question about data, which I have overlooked earlier, we'll have asked them together with the other data questions. And this is from a PhD student from the Free University of Berlin, Shang Huang. The question is, does the data include censored social media contents, such as free way ball. Right. No, no it doesn't. So my data set only includes protest cases reported on by by by websites, not collected from social media. If you look at social media data, you might get protest incidents numbers that are you know 10 times multiples of mine. The protest incidents has a lot less information. So mine doesn't include social media. Okay. Next one, I really have to give this one to priority, even though it is the latest questions we have received on the Q&A box. I have to give this one to priority because it comes from the youngest of our participants, I believe, is from a year 13 student free university. And that is Jack Bowen. The question Jack has is that I found your point above the Chinese government's paranoia around protests, very interesting. What would you say is behind this paranoia. Well thank you for your interest Jack, you know very good to to to to see you know interest about Chinese politics coming from a young person like you paranoia. I think there are structural reasons but they're also contingent factors. So let me start with contingent factors which you might have heard of, which has to do with, you know, personality of Xi Jinping himself as well as people that he decides to surround him with himself with. I think, I think if you look at kind of the biographical data of President Xi, how he rose to power his family background the fact that he spends his formative years in the cultural revolution in in in rural areas doing hard hard labor. And people do that in the early years that shaped a certain outlook on their lives, and they'll, and the way that they conduct business right. And I think I imagine myself if I were to go through that in my teenage years, you look at the world through this tinted glass which is everything is, is about politics and power. One has is a winner take all type of situation, if one has power one has control over everything. So in his teenage years, because his father was one of the revolutionary deemed as having bad class background the whole family were thrown into into doing hard hard labor in in rural areas. So I think in his view that having political power is extremely important because it could actually change your change the fate in your life. And I'm going to talk about in more about about his, his own personality. And I think you know some scholars in the UK have spent time, you know, looking at, at, at seating things bio biographies which I won't go go into that into much details but in terms of structural reasons. He has also reached stage where the leadership this current leadership sees itself as, as kind of powerful enough to exert his authority, very confidently that is reflected in his growingly asserted foreign foreign policy. And also domestically, I think that is reflected in repression of, of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and then of ethnic minorities. I think generally increase repression or this extreme autocratic turn. You know, it's because of you know terrorism that happened in, in, in China about 10 years ago such as bombing in, in train station in Kweming, which then justifies government taking harsh actions on ethnic minorities. The analogy here is like, after 911. The US government felt that it is justified to carry a certain policies on the Middle East, and then in an invasion of Afghanistan because they wanted to address Muslim and terrorism problem right. It could also be seen as an overreaction of terrorism and the root cause of terrorism could be because you know, the Chinese government has never paid attention to moderate voices, you know within the society and these include societies of ethnic minorities. And it decided to jail in a moderate intellectuals like Ilam, Ilam Toti, the government has never heard the grievances of Uyghur people. And when you try to silence moderate voices you tend to get radical voices. And I think the same could be said about about just majority of Chinese society in the last couple of years we see shut down think tank more liberal think tank. Intellectuals getting silence. Some of them taken out of the system like sect and they have to run away to the United States. If I think generally if people are not allowed to speak and express their grievance in the mild and moderate manner. Sooner or later you get these radical claims emerging. Lynette, can I fold up on that and ask you when was the last terrorist attack in China or Xinjiang Xinjiang. I don't remember the exact year but my memory tells me that it was about probably about seven to 10 to 10 years ago. But they were also terrorists at carry out outside Xinjiang, right by by weavers in, in, in, I think Kweming train train station if I remember correctly. That was the knife attack. Yes, yes, yes, yes, correct. It's a long, very, very long time ago just to be paranoid about what happens. So, sure, sure. I think that was probably behind Jack's question. Isn't that really paranoid or there's something if it's not paranoid what the hell is it. Yeah, no I so, like I said, I believe that they are contingency factor which is exclusive to this current leadership, meaning that if you take out this current leadership in China, if we could actually do so. There's less of a paranoia, right less repression, but they are I think also structural reasons going on within China and within the autocratic system. There's two, two things going on. Okay, I'll move, I'll move on there's a question, which was kind of echoes what you said a bit earlier about the control over the same tanks. The question is not about think tanks the question is from who to weigh. And it is in regards to the increase in protests related to education. Has this predominantly been in the higher education sector. And if so, is it for a demand for reform in education. So, education type of protests have largely been staged by private teachers in private schools. And so it's Chinese in Chinese is called min ban jiao si. So a lot of private schools in China, so these are not high education they are primary school and secondary school, not government school private schools badly run, which then goes on to pay teachers very very poorly. In the last 10 15 years they have been very, very poorly, poorly paid. And, you know, so you see increased protests in the education sector for that reason. So it's an economic nature grievance. Okay, I have a broad question from Luca. In your opinion, in your opinion, does lack of contentious politics damage or boost the CCP's legitimacy. I have to think because you know usually scholars ask does contentious politics how does contentious politics affect CCVs legitimacy. You said lack of contentious politics I meant that used I take it that you mean fewer protests incidents. You know, if it's fewer protests incidents in the last couple of years, I think that would definitely generally less reports means that you would think the CCP's legitimacy has been boosted right because there's less report of social unrest and supposedly more social stability. But then again, if you don't allow people to at least express their grievance, they might harbor unexpressed discontentment towards the regime. And I think that cannot be good for the regime's legitimacy. So overall, I don't think the conclusion is that clear cut if there is less contentious activities and and its effect on state legitimacy. Okay, now again, that is not a question from the original question is a follow up, which do you think it really matters more that the party believes in it or you as an academic analyst believe in it. I think that the relative lack of contentious politics helps with the legitimacy of the party's day. That's my own, that's my own belief and I don't, I don't work for the CCP. But if the, if the, if the, if the party believes in it as well, right, the party takes the same view as you do as an analyst. Does it matter. If they take the same view as me, then I think they will not spend so much resources in cracking down protest that it is actually good to have it to let people to let people vent their anger and venture frustration. But the question is, by being able to contain contentious politics, because the question, the question asked in a negative way rather than the post in the existence of contentious politics is the lack of contentious politics, which in this case means the containment of contentious politics. And that make the party feel there is more legitimate, which it would appear that the party state does feel that is more makes the party stay more legitimate if there are fewer contentious politics that's why they're spending so much money and resources to contain it. If I think like an autocrat. I would think, you know, if I could control protest. That would boost my legitimacy. Yes, I think I think the lack of contentious activities would translate to great perception of a boost to state legitimacy from people who control it. From the perspective of people who like to control. But in my view, that's that's that view is erroneously held for the reason I said earlier. Thank you. Next is a question from an undergraduate in politics at KCL in London, King's College London. This is from Caitlyn Jen. Could you please elaborate a bit on how you collected the data for the percentage of money spent on public security in each province. Right, I imagine such data is not public. Yes. So we do not collect this data this data is collected by the Chinese government. So it's available from you know on on on from Chinese statistical yearbook. And this is reported by provincial government. So provincial government reports how much they spend every year, and on what they spend on and public security is one of the items. So we take that number and then and then we we and we analyze them. We don't have access to. So I have as much access to this government data as everyone else does. Okay. Next question is from Mauricio Marinee. I would like to hear a little bit more in terms of the qualitative analysis. I would like to give us an example of how the same typology of protests. For example, environmental related or land rights protest was handled in two or three different administrations or geographical areas. But I'm not sure whether different regions, or, you know, based on scholarly research, different regions actually deal with the same type of protests differently. I can speak about land rights protest because I work on land land rights protest. Because land land rights protest is difficult to organize. First of all, people would go out to protest and like environmental protest, it has kind of spillable effects, right, you get some factories being being built it might affect thousands of families and then you could mobilize thousands of families go out to protest land rights differently than when your land is being grabbed or your house is being illegally demolished, then you have an incentive to protest. So it's specific to the aggrieved individual or grieved family. But then again you cannot go out to protest on your own because you are so weak on your own right so typically protest happens when there's a group of people. So if their land is not being grabbed, what is their incentive to go out to protest, which is why land land rights protest is difficult to organize, and it's very easy to very easy to crack down and, and cracking down on land rights protests, some of the repressive measures are not reflected in the numbers so the numbers might reflect the number of police resources spent on police to to arrest protesters. So on land rights protest. If village authorities knew knew that a group of villagers want to stage land land rights protest, they might go to individual families and first of all identify families that could be bought. So they'll knock on your door in the middle of the night and and say that you know, look see I let me pay you some extra money. So promise that you won't go out to protest. So they will buy off individuals in order to reduce the cohesion between the protest groups, and that in a way would reduce the likelihood of protest there. There's a lot of clever strategies being deployed by local authorities. And these are the strategies often not reflected in public security spending numbers. I've got three more questions and I'll try to do them all in the remaining time we have. Next one is from Mark Rebley. Indie is the concept of individual rights and accepted concept within Chinese political discourse. Yeah, so I, I'm not a political philosopher and I feel, you know, a little inadequate to answer these these questions because I'm not able to get to give you a very elegant answer. But generally, I think Chinese culture, political culture sees would put kind of collective rights, and however you define collective above individual rights. And, and, and this is seen, people who hold these views, you know, both Chinese society and Chinese leadership hold these views. So Chinese leadership is able to impose, you know, collective rights. You know, on top of individual rights. So if some individuals want to express their rights, the government could justify certain policies, if that serves the, the better or the good of the, of the collective, even though it might come at the expense of the individuals. Okay. I'll just add a very short rejoin that today if you don't mind the net. That document number nine 2013 make it very clear that universal values is prohibited under Xi Jinping. So the question really is, do you see individual human rights as a matter of part of the universal values. If you see so, then it is prohibited. If it is not part of universal values, then it shouldn't be prohibited from necessarily not. Not so. I got a new question that just came in, I think, from Vijay Prakash. Is there a specific dispute redress systems at the village or municipal level, such as civil cost, or a complaints system, or protests is the only way left for common people to seek redress, or even simple civic issues, like land rights or poverty issues. Right, we have audience based on the question from Delhi from Delhi. There is a petition system. So petition you could write petition, you could do letter petition or you could do in person petition. But the petitioning system in a way is as challenging as as practice and some would even argue that it's even more challenging. Well, these days, it's since several years ago, there's, there is a rule saying that if you live in, let's say, township level, you cannot go to government that is higher than a township to stage petition. So, meaning that if you have grievance against your local government, if you live in the township we have grievance against your, your township government. You have to complain to the township government that other people you have trouble with, which kind of defeat the purpose right. So, so they have the central government has taken people's rights to stage to petition at a higher administrative level. The purpose is very much defeated but even before that rule came into place. Local government would often stopped people from petitioning. So if you live in the village you have to take a train or take a bus to Beijing spend a lot of money going to travel to Beijing to stage a petition. Local government often send people to take you back in Chinese is called GFM. So you get stopped at train station, you get kidnapped at train station by some gangsters that they hire, and then take you back to, you know, put you in some dark black houses for two months, beat you up or something, and then send you back to the village and you get intimidated and you never want to go petitioning again. But that scholar has done kind of public opinion poll of people who have been to Beijing to stage petition and have not been to Beijing and what they think about petition system and the perception of central government. There is a lot of difference. People who have been to petition in Beijing have seen really with their own eyes how the system works actually has reduced confidence in central government quite significantly after they make their trip. Okay, thank you. Got two more questions left and three minutes of our time. And this one is very short. So do what you can and I will read it in full and then it's a question from Chow Chong Town. Please comment on health care. Yeah, I think a little health case is Chinese called E now, which is health care system is overburdened in China, the ratio of doctors to patients are very, very low. So, you know, people are not happy of health care system and the way that the purchase is they would cause harm to medical providers. So a lot of health care practice is of the nature. Okay, thank you. Last question is a second bite of the cherry from Xiang Huang. I have a generally impression that the Chinese people are sometimes proud that China is less launch less chaotic than other developing countries. Could you please kindly share your thoughts about the general public's attitude towards social stability for you and me. Right, right. I think you're right. I think this, this, this perception of social stability or one that goes to the core of, you know, what addresses the attitude of the center, the central leadership, and here I will make a distinction between the righteous and violent protest, or even riots, right, so one wants a protest turn into a riot. When the government loses control over the one over the stability, then it will actually invite very harsh crackdown, and in those cases usually of para para paramilitary forces like wu jing, wu jing. Wu jing is often justified when riots happen. Right. And this is very different from, from non, from non violent protest, if I could extend the analogy to Hong Kong protest, which turned, which took a violent turn over the last last summer, then, you know, resulted in in more repressive measures. That would be seen as an analogy of what's going on in the mainland. Steve might have more to say on Hong Kong. We can indeed have a lot more discussions about Hong Kong or in this the way how the people's armed police is deployed, whether they are deployed only after disturbances have happened or whether they're deployed, and as a result of the deployment real chaos happened. But that's really for a different sessions. If our time is up and in fact we have literally just managed to address all the questions that I have seen. And thank you very much. Thank you for setting it on for your very, very thoughtful and frank presentation and discussions with us. And also thank you very much to you all for the very thoughtful and interesting questions that you have put for this forum. I will just thank you all, and hope to see some of you back next Monday at a later time of five o'clock. Thank you so much to Steve and everyone for attending. Thank you.

Okay The many services provided by the city of San Antonio are Prioritized and funded through the adopted annual budget This video will provide you with an overview of the many services provided by the city and Explain how the city pays for these services with an annual budget of two point three billion dollars and 11,300 employees the city of San Antonio strives to provide you with high quality services every day So how does the city's budget work? The city's total budget is divided into separate funds including the general fund Restricted funds and The capital budget the largest of these funds is the city's general fund which receives funding from four major sources of revenue property taxes sales taxes CPS energy revenues and other revenues Property taxes represent the city's portion of the taxes you pay on your home and business However, the city's portion of your total property tax bill is only about 25% Sales taxes are collected on purchases made throughout the city and are dependent on the local economy CPS energy provides a portion of its gross profits to the city as a return on investment and these Revenues vary based on the south Texas weather Finally other revenues represent funding collected from user fees licenses and permits together these revenues support the majority of city services two-thirds of the total general fund budget is Allocated to the police and fire departments with more than 4,000 uniform personnel the police and fire departments enforce the law Protect San Antonio residents their families and their homes the remaining one-third of the general fund resources support critical city services such as streets parks libraries code enforcement health and human services and Animal care the city of San Antonio is facing a financial challenge of 27 to 34 million dollars in fiscal year 2015 in the general fund Expenditures in the general fund are growing at a faster pace than general fund revenues the financial challenges that the city faces in 2015 Include the increased cost of providing health care benefits to uniform police and fire employees Maintaining a triple-a bond rating Maintaining a balance between public safety and other services paid by the general fund and the many needs across the city including street maintenance new sidewalks library services human services and the maintenance of city facilities in order to maintain a balanced budget in Fiscal year 2015 as required by law the city will have to prioritize services and redirect resources in the general fund more than 66 percent of the general fund is Allocated to the police and fire budgets if the community desires to maintain or Increase the funds allocated to police and fire other city services such as streets Parks libraries animal care code enforcement and health and human services would have to be reduced The city maintains more than 4,000 miles of streets More than 400 miles of drainage infrastructure and more than 1,300 traffic signals the maintenance and preservation of the city's streets and sidewalks is the responsibility of the city's Transportation and capital improvements department each day city employees work to preserve and maintain streets across San Antonio By filling in potholes as well as maintaining city drainage channels adding bike lanes and building new sidewalks the parks and recreation department maintains 244 parks 14,816 acres of parkland 145 miles of trails 24 outdoor pools and 29 community centers throughout the city San Antonio's 26 libraries provide residents of all ages access to books computers and Educational programs through the libraries you can receive live homework assistance and download ebooks audiobooks music and videos for free The animal care services department is committed to improving outcomes for San Antonio's pet population through increased education Adoptions and enforcement for the current fiscal year Resources were added to increase spay neuter surgeries enhance licensing awareness and Reduce the number of loose and stray animals as a result of these additional Resources and many other efforts by the animal care services department The city has been able to increase its live pet release rate from 30 percent in 2011 to 80 percent today The city provides code enforcement officers who work throughout San Antonio to maintain the safety and integrity of our neighborhoods These officers enforce the city's property maintenance code address concerns caused by unoccupied and Elapidated structures and help prevent and abate graffiti Other important city services are funded by restricted funds that are not supported by property tax revenue The rates and fees that support services paid by restricted funds cannot be used to pay for services in the general fund such as police fire streets or code enforcement services paid by restricted funds Include garbage collection review of new commercial and residential development permits operations of the International Airport and the city's parking operations Ensuring that the fiscal year 2015 budget is financially balanced and reflects the priorities of the community is a collaborative effort between residents city leaders and city staff the city wants to know which services matter most to you Let us know your priorities by attending one of five community budget input hearings Scheduled from May 19th to May 22nd You can also provide your input through the city's budget input box located inside libraries senior centers and online at www.sanantonio.gov slash budget with your assistance the city of San Antonio can continue to deliver high quality Services to all residents in our great community So couple couple of things as Maria comes forward about the budget Over the past eight years. We have worked to improve the professionalism of city government and Deliver the highest quality service at the least cost to the taxpayers During that time frame based on recommendations and with much consideration by the mayor and council. We've added Almost 500 police officers and firefighters to service our growing community and keep our response times low We have reduced the number of civilian personnel by more than 1200 people so we actually have fewer city employees today than we did eight years ago And if you think about it, we've added more fire stations more libraries Hundreds of acres of more parkland So we're changing the way we deliver the service to be as efficient as we can We're now at a point where to balance the budget and to manage all of the expenses to provide high quality Services to the community we need to make some changes within the services. We're providing today So there was a lot of conversation in the video about and I'm sure you've heard through the media and perhaps followed some of the work of the Legacy task force appointed by the mayor and council to study pension and health care costs of our employees throughout the city Organization and in that process the recommendations that came from the task force include making sure that we provide fair and equitable Equitable health care for our employees that is affordable to the taxpayers a pretty basic concept We know that we all contribute toward the cost of our health care and that's what we're trying to achieve in our Conversations with our police and fire personnel making sure that what we're doing is fair and equitable for our employees Our core service public safety and yet is affordable to the taxpayers And we know that health care costs have been growing rapidly over the past two decades So to manage those costs what's happened is our public safety expenses are growing faster than our general fund revenue And so it's consuming a larger and larger percentage of the general fund budget meaning that to keep it balanced And without raising taxes and we have not raised our property taxes for more than 20 years So to continue providing our quality services and manage the budget That means that we have to cut that one-third of the budget that isn't public safety No one wants to recommend reducing library hours or cutting our animal care services or reducing code enforcement or Heaven forbid reducing street maintenance. We maintain 4,000 miles of streets. So there's a lot of work to be done out there But we are required by law to maintain a balanced budget So we're examining every aspect of the budget every year to make sure that we're doing the very best possible And I want to thank those community members and employees who participated on the legacy task force to help us come up With recommendations that were presented to the city council So all of this your input tonight those recommendations and our very best professional Recommendations to the council will all be put together After we hear from the council in their goal setting session on Tuesday May 27th to come up with the best financial plan Possible for the community So now I'm going to turn this over to Maria via goma. She'll give you a few Instructions as to what we're asking you to do at your tables this evening and then we'll have we'll report out before we leave tonight Maria Thank you Cheryl. Well, good evening and thank you for being here with us tonight So now that you have heard a little bit about the budget have a better understanding how the budget process works and the financial Challenges at the city spacing. We want to hear your input. We need your help and prioritizing those services within the general fund That will allow us to propose a balanced budget to the city council on August the 7th So at each of your tables, you've already seen the facilitator is one of our directors or assistant directors Of our departments and we have three questions to ask you the first question is if you can please Identified areas within the general fund budget that you would be willing to reduce could be programs or services From the video There's also documentation that our facilitators have and they will be able to answer any questions You may have as well So tell us what areas you will be willing to cut in order for us to balance the budget and give us a sense of the dollar Amount if you can if you cannot come up with a dollar amount, that's okay Just give us a sense of an idea of what are the services or areas that you would like for us to consider The second question is would you be willing to increase revenues to offset the increase cost in the general fund? Revenue such as our property taxes for every one cent if we were to increase one cent in the property tax rate That generates about seven point four million dollars annually The impact to the average homeowner is about fourteen dollars a year So that's just to give you an idea the other fees in the general fund includes parks for example A river bar to revenues as well and some of the fees that we charge of our community centers And then that the last question is if we have additional funds and we could increase Some of the services that we provide in the general fund or we could reprioritize within the general fund What are those areas that you would like us to increase or to add in the next? Budget so that question is for you to identify three areas that you would like for us to add and perhaps also Identified where the money is going to come from it There's another services that you would consider perhaps is not a priority for for the community So those are brief instructions they add directors and assistant directors at your table will be able to address any questions You have 30 minutes for this exercise a 705 So at 735 will ask each Table to have a representative to report back to the group on those three questions that we ask you tonight. Thank you Hello, could you introduce yourself? Sure. My name is Ron Nirenberg. I'm the city councilman for district eight What is going on here? Well tonight is one of five pre-proposed budget hearings where we listen to our community members People from all over the community are coming to discuss their priorities for city council as we go into our goal-setting So this is the very beginning process of how we assemble the city budget for fiscal year 15. We're about Now is we're in May So we're about four months away from actually adopting the city budget, but we want to hear from our community members We want to hear from our neighbors We want to hear from Organizations that are involved in the community to help us to understand what the community's priorities are and they can be reflected in our city budget Have you done this before? Yes. Well, this will be my second cycle of doing these hearings and going through a budget process these The community meetings and the public input process for budgets have been going on for many years though We have a 2.3 billion dollar budget in the city of san Antonio So we can't do that alone on council and we can't do that alone on council and staff We want to hear from the public to make sure that we're addressing the services and the needs that are in our communities And why is it important? Well, again, I mean, I think it's it's important because we live in a very vibrant and active community with a lot of different needs It's very diverse district district alone And district 8 has many different facets and services that are required to keep our quality of life High and that's the same all across the city. So It's important that we hear from the community because we need to address the things that people really care about We need to make sure that our basics are covered with police and fire With street maintenance with animal care services library services parks And then all the other things that the city does to keep a good quality of life in san Antonio We need to hear from you Um, can you tell us a little bit about what's next? So what's next is after we go through the five public meetings We're going to compile all the data and responses that we've gotten on the budget Then city council next week will go into a day long goal setting session where we take the feedback from our Our neighborhood meetings and we make that reflected in The priority list that we give the city management at that point the city management will then Put together a budget They'll take about a month when city council is on recess and work with each department to address some of the shortages We are projecting a challenge in our budget this year of about 27 million dollars So part of that process is city departments are going to go back and say what do we need to cut What is what is the public asking for that we need to do more of maybe a little less of Put together the budget and then when we come back from recess in august We'll start deliberating on the proposed budget We'll go back to the public and find out what changes we need to make tweaks that we need to do And then at that point we will Adopt a budget and we all adopt a balanced budget We're going into this process knowing that there's about a 27 million dollar shortfall So we do have to make some cut backs if people want to see extra things in certain departments We're going to have to account for that as well, but when we come to council with a budget It's going to be a balanced budget and then we can move forward into fiscal year 2015 So if someone isn't present tonight, can they still have their voice heard? Absolutely. We have budget boxes Budget input boxes throughout the throughout the city. You'll find them in libraries and city facilities They can also go online to sanantonio.gov and Register their feedback on the on the website there. They can also contact their council member By phone by email by facebook by twitter anytime that you can get your council member you can suggest Things about improving our bud improving our city and and instituting a good good budget Thank you very much Hello, there we go Hello, everybody. I'm priscarsia from the kenten place to homeowners association. We're from table one and we have this 27 to 34 million dollar shortfall. So we had some ideas If you align the uniform benefits with civilian employees as as much as we respect the individuals to do those jobs We have a budget crisis. You're going to raise about 16 million from doing that We thought there might be some efficiencies that can be worked out in economic development Maybe instead of sending, you know, 10 people overseas for a trip. Maybe five or six That'll be about 35 000 not a lot Municipal court maybe half a million some efficiencies there and also cutting about 1.6 from delegate agencies And that was about 18 million we're able to find And then for property taxes 2 increase which we haven't raised property taxes in 10 20 years And our city's grown quite a bit since the 80s or 90s Uh would be about 14 million and based on the estimates we heard it's only about 30 bucks per household So that wouldn't be too bad And then a residential alarm and renewal fees with a slight increase of about five dollars per fee. We figured it'd be about 1.5 So we kind of broke even at about 15.5 with cutting about 18 million depending on where you're at and that's kind of our ideas for dealing with the budget challenge to use the terms used by the city council And then the challenge our challenge the city council is Here's some things we would like to see increased number one traffic operation because everyone wants to get home on time and early Uh libraries. Yeah, we do have somebody in the table who's uh from the library system Streets everybody knows about all the potholes we have to deal with code enforcement and sidewalks Yes, and we and actually actually what's interesting is actually there's some disability Part of that is in there. So if you know people with disabilities That's actually where they get some of the funding to fix those Code enforcement all of us who are from HOA's know about the importance of code enforcement And how that affects our neighborhoods And uh, finally animal care We do have some people from parts of town where animal care is a serious issue with all the stray dogs I don't like to volunteer for different campaigns. And yeah, there's a lot of stray dogs and stray animals So that's uh That's our ideas. Thank you Thank you, chris. I think table four was ready to go next First of all, I want to first of all, I want to thank uh everybody at our table is very participative Yolanda you're crazy. I love you Uh, okay, let's let's get started Uh in the uh decrease area We felt that uh aligning uniform benefits with civilian employees is obviously very very important We feel that based upon a lot of work that's been done by the legacy task force The chamber of commerce That if we align just health care benefits in police and fire alone That would save the city an estimated 15 million dollars a year If we align dental and vision With city civilian employees That would save the city roughly 4.5 million a year If we eliminate the escrow fund and the escrow fund is where the city puts into a an escrow account For the benefit of police and fire Funds that can be used by police and fire For attorneys fees to pay for divorces closing costs for the purchase of homes Attorneys costs for dwis Uh, if we eliminate that that would save the city 1.5 million tuition reimbursement We feel police and fire should be reimbursed For all courses they take pertaining to their profession We should not pay for courses that do not pay that that do not align up with their profession That should save the city roughly $250,000 a year We also believe that vehicle the vehicle life can be extended Instead of turning a vehicle in at 70,000 miles turn it into 100,000 miles. These are Very good vehicles well built if they're maintained that just That should save the city roughly 200,000 dollars a year So just in police and fire alone. That's 21.45 million Now in addition we felt that when you take City police and fire out of the entire budget That leaves roughly 300 and 31 million Left for all other budget categories We feel that a 2 cut across the board For all of those different categories Would provide 6.6 million of cuts now We also believe that should include the category of mayor and city council The group wanted to make sure we emphasized that But we also felt that not every category May need to be cut 2 percent therefore We felt that when you go through the cut process Through the debate of each department Then the cuts should be brought to the city council For them to decide Who should be cut should somebody be cut more than 2 percent Some less than 2 percent But overall that budget has to be cut by 2 percent okay revenue generation Code enforcement across the board. We felt very strongly that all code enforcement violations Should be enforced by particular Because we're a hub for tourism and hospitality Homeowners are now putting their homes up for rent Because this is a great destination location So we felt that charging a registration fee so a homeowner can put their home up for rent Also an annual inspection fee of that home would generate roughly one million dollars a year also animal control For animals That are Collected by the animal control unit They a chip should be installed in each animal and if that animal Once it is it goes to an owner if that animal is lost and animal control has to retrieve that animal It's a five hundred dollar fee. We don't know how much that would generate But we feel it's important to incorporate that into a revenue stream and then lastly Areas that we feel feel ought to be added Excuse me. I excuse me. I get so choked up working with my group Service areas to add we felt parks Parks is one of the jewels of the city And we feel that parks should be made available to all Taxpayers in the city and also libraries. There's nothing more important Than libraries to educate not only our children but our adults and everybody in the community And that's all I've got to say for table four Okay, I think table five is ready to go next Okay. Hi everybody. My name is Jonathan frank and I'm with seiu and This is my first time doing something like this. So forgive me if I mess up just a little bit But um at our table we discussed Um property taxes if we at first we came up with if you increase it by one sense per year then You would get about 10 million dollars in revenue and but it would equal out to 14 dollars That you get charged for per homeowner But we said why not increase it three cents and then you get 22 million dollars first year so um And also with cold enforcement Like, uh Gentlemen, I forgot his name. I'm joke. I think his name is Joe. He brought up that cold enforcement would bring in another needed source of revenue We also talked about Well, we had a little debate at our table about, um Citizen employees with uniform employees Um, one argument was bringing police and fire down their health benefits down to civilian level which On it might not be a very good thing, but also the um Other argument was bringing up civilian employees to uniform level when it comes to health benefits and everything like that which We couldn't figure out where the expense where the money would come from But it is still a very valid argument that everybody should be paid the same That or should get the same health benefits because we can all agree that without the citizen employees of the city A lot of stuff would not run a lot of the revenue would not run. You would not be such a great Capital in or just san Antonio yourself. You would not be such a great tourist spot without all the city employees that you had and I'm getting claps. All right Um, and um, we also talked about the streetcar Street cars that's coming in 2016 And we put that on, um, we might want to cut that Because some people think that you don't really need Street cars in san Antonio Really don't because downtown you just pretty much everything's in walking distance And then that would kind of complicate things when everybody goes to fiesta so But um, we also had what we wanted to add on the first thing is Pretty much redistribution of house Sidewalks and streets get taken care of now Where I live over in near castle hills. There's A huge sidewalk on northwest military Which does not get a lot of foot traffic at all. So it's a it was a huge expense in anticipation Of there being a lot of business and a lot of foot traffic But on the north and the east and west side There's sidewalks that are cracking. There's potholes in the street There's things that are not going right on that side of town and you just need if we could redistribute that Redistribute effort away from places that really don't need it and they're good The good the way they are and people feel that they're good the way they are even people that live in those areas To more needy places that would help Stim the I had a I had a thought but I lost it. I'm sorry. I have to move on to the next one. Okay um traffic operations in school zones and in different accident heavy places in the city you need to increase signage increase um Pretty much just signage like saying this is a school crossing zone or there's children playing Speed limit signs more traffic slides and everything like that. Do I need to cut down? Oh, okay. All right, my bad I'm gonna act like I'm at a concert and I'm holding like this. All right And I'm just kidding. Um, and also another thing is animal care animal care in san antonio um, I've read their annual reports and they're going towards a no to kill san antonio and it's been going that way for a long time, but In san antonio right now as I was talking to the lady over here There's only 42 aco officers in san antonio with over 150 stray pets now police firefighters city employees have to go after these pets And police are going to get called on all sorts of calls for Like oh, there's a dog in my neighborhood. Come get them. They have to go spend their man hours gas and all this money Trying to track this animal waiting for an aco to show up and then um also if we pretty much, uh Keep losing what I'm gonna say. I'm sorry y'all. Um Okay, yeah, that was pretty much my spill. I'm sorry. I forgot what I was gonna say, but yeah, that's me Oh, I'm sorry. I'm from california. I can't join on that one But the spurs are my family's team so I'm going for them go spurs But thank you. I think table seven It's ready I'm Jerome stowe. I'm with the la vita tenants association. I'm here with tanya clark tonight from la vita as well As far as service areas to cut we looked at aligning the uniform benefits with civilian employees to the tune of 10 million dollars We looked at reducing the general fund portion of the department for culture and creative development Which they use over in la vita and rather than use the general fund use the the hotel occupancy tax To the tune of seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars annually We looked up the utility cost in la vita. We have some first-hand knowledge here At this table that we believe we overpay an estimate of a hundred thousand dollars annually to cps We looked at increasing the property tax by Two cents to create 15 million dollars We looked at leasing underutilized city property. We had some examples of the redberry mansion and linda had another example Some of the plazas in la vita. We have like a hundred thousand square feet in la vita that is underutilized and under leased annually Benevitas It's a community center that lost its funding and it's empty and it can be leased out again to for more revenue We looked at instituting more parks fees, especially with the holiday camping and cleanup As a way to generate more revenue on the general fund budget balancer We looked at moving money from the property tax a half cent increase for 3.2 million to code enforcement one of our table members here mentioned that beautifying residential areas in san Antonio would Add value to the city and increase property value And then we also decided that we should maintain our libraries because we feel they're an integral and important part to our city Then sort of off the grid here We looked at shifting a portion of the hotel occupancy tax From dccd, which is the department for culture and creative development to the cvb because we feel that the cvb can Better enhance tourism and the income associated with tourism such as sales tax hotel tax and economic activity And that completes our recommendations Thank you table two is ready to present Good evening. I'd like to thank our city council representatives and the city staff here for allowing us to participate in this process and our Table had a lively discussion in several areas but first of all we we know that there's only two ways to Look at a budget you either increase revenue or you cut spending And so one of the first things that we wanted to do was to look at ways that we could cut spending and we immediately identified 16.2 million could be saved if we eliminated all of the bonuses at city public service board And also with saws Approximately the same amount We know that Both saws and city public service said that they had a revenue shortfall, but the bonuses probably could have Eliminated those shortfalls and we were very concerned about the Large executive packages That some of our top officials have we think there should be A freeze on that and no bonuses if they need to remember that a public office is a public trust And if we expect our librarians and our teachers and our nurses Not to receive or they don't receive bonuses, then I don't understand why public employees Should receive those bonuses as well based on the fact that The average social security check in our is 1,170 and we have many seniors that live on that alone and the average pay in san Antonio Is uh, approximately 51 486 dollars and so if A family is struggling to pay taxes and fees and all of the increased costs They certainly don't want these bonuses Uh, another area that we were looking at was A reduction in outside consulting we felt like if The city has many experts that we have Then we should rely on those people that are in the city and not spend so much money hiring outside consultants To come in and tell them how to do something when they should know how to do it if that's their job um, I imagine that there are some Exceptions to that but there's probably too much outside consulting Another area that we thought we should eliminate is the streetcar. We could certainly redirect that money elsewhere Although we discussed the merits of economic development of bringing Such businesses as Toyota to our community We felt like that we needed to look again at abatements That maybe they shouldn't have such long range incentives That needs to be looked at We also were talking about Bringing in citizen oversight committees to look at various departments in our city government Ronald Reagan when he was governor of california Brought in volunteer business people to look at various agencies and government and they say millions and millions and millions of dollars Waste and inefficiency and duplication of services So I think that the perhaps For example, maybe a committee of volunteer veterinarians could look at the Animal care and see if there are ways that they might suggest that we could do a better job or save money Perhaps engineers could work with the street department And bridges to see if there are ways that we could save money I know that in the san Antonio independent school district. We had budget oversight citizens that Worked to oversee How bond money was spent to make sure that everything was correct Areas that we felt like we needed to increase was our Maintain or increase is our libraries because the libraries benefit everyone And as a former classroom teacher, I know that I had a lot of students who Could not afford a computer and so they went to the libraries and did their work at the library So we need our libraries. They're a integral part of our community We also felt like that We need to have In the area of human services. We need to increase funding for mental health in our community That's it. We know everything from school shootings to Other issues that we need to address mental health To help prevent a lot of the problems in our community. So I think that would be a good investment and Again, we felt like we have a lot of retired people in san Antonio And we should see look at ways that we can increase volunteers to help with some of our services and then also Understanding that a city and county government is like a Venn diagram Some have unique Areas of expertise But also the in some areas there's overlapping and so Looking at those areas where there's overlapping Services, perhaps we can see the ways that we could save money At the city and county level and prevent duplication of services additional cost to taxpayers Okay, my name is grace and I am matt middleton And we had a really great discussion at our table Some of the things on this poster were not we weren't we didn't really reach consensus about everything But these were ideas from the group Some things were consensus some things not so much On the service area to address the budget gap We talked about aligning uniform benefits with civilian employees There was also a suggestion to increase revenues by increasing sales taxes and also Business the business appraisals and the taxes that businesses pay And then for the priorities we had a few fire station 43 having 24-hour EMS service, which they do not currently have And instead they send an EMS Um From a location that's further away and takes a little bit longer to get to that area another area of Priority for services was ACS education and making sure that People all over the city are aware of how to take care of their pets and the services of Spain neutering their pets and how important that is to prevent strays and All of that and then also the libraries Either maintaining or increasing budgets for libraries and library services and all of the programming that they provide for Everyone in san Antonio as well as the technology resources that are available there and then We suggested taking making up this this this Money from Park fees increasing park fees specifically Around holidays, which I think another group mentioned The Easter campouts we talked about how a lot of times people Leave a lot of mess after the Easter holidays and so a fee to kind of help clean up after that and also put towards increasing services in other areas Also increasing the property tax as other groups have mentioned We suggested a two cent increase that would bring us 14 million dollars and then The last one would be to create Similar to the way the library system has a friends of a library system That helps to raise funds for the libraries that maybe there could be Friends of parks as well that would help to raise funds to maintain parks in our city and that's it Thank you so much Okay table eight Okay, we are table eight again our group didn't reach consistency on everything But for the most part this is generally where we are So we discussed cuts to administration the administrative personnel Specifically those that are higher level higher level within the departments within the city Oh, thank you We also discussed aligning uniform benefits with civilian benefits as well We estimated about an eight million dollar Saved there For our revenue to be increased we thought about property taxes again that Same thing of a two cent increase to get three Sorry a three cent increase for us to get about 21 million in revenue from that We also discussed fees Specifically we did discuss library fees, but those fees go straight back into the library budget Um To the city the the the library line item within the city, but sorry Um, and also the same thing with park fees All right, so for improvements we were thinking about the uh library We're thinking about streets um an ADA specifically that was my point. Um, my father is a paralyzed veteran So and he doesn't actually live in the city, but he came to visit recently And it was rather tragic that he wasn't able to really get around the city Because of the sidewalks being in poor shape And they're not really being alerts traffic signals So trying to drive and kind of navigate the city was a huge issue for him and myself because a lot of the places I hadn't gone to either So I think that we need to do a little bit more thinking about Accessibility for everyone because when you make, you know, uh public areas accessible everyone stands to benefit from it So I think we need to think about um the the traffic alerts the the foot grooves the um Well, one of the examples I wanted to share now It's on my heart is I was driving up the days of Allah the other day And there was a woman who was blind who was trying to cross the street just here Actually advanced accident and days of Allah intersection and she ended up not Having any aides there So she pretty much almost got hit about maybe three or four times Trying to cross the street with a service dog and people actually blew their horns at her on the way It was a very You know tough thing to watch Um, but I did my best of just trying to keep as far behind as I could You know just to kind of make it obvious that she was you know Attempted to cross the street with a service dog a lot of people were not paying attention to that So that was one of the examples. That's one of the things that should not happen Not in a city like this is a great city It should not happen here. So we need to think more about ADA Big time in the city in terms of streets traffic signals and things like that So that was one of the biggest conversations that we had in the group We also throughout the idea of energy efficiency In our building So we know that we have a few green buildings already the sims library, etc But we need to also think about maybe zero emission facilities That would possibly come out of the capital budget. I'm assuming But we need to think about those things because that would make us I mean san Antonio is a great city We're about to be the stem cell capital. We're thinking about that already We need to think about being the green capital We need to think about being a place where there are facilities that literally run off their waste And their energy that that they actually take in their input and their output. That is a great thing When you think about those things we're already a great city. Let's make it better. Um, so those are the same things we talked about Uh I think I hit everything. Yes. Thank you Okay, and table six We're gonna close with table number six I'm gonna save the best for last. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Maria. I'm David McGee. I'm with the san Antonio chamber of commerce And uh, first thing we talked about a fairly consistent theme around the room this evening is Aligning the uniform benefits for our police and fire employees Since we're talking about normal health care costs here. We're not talking about workers comp Or injuries on the job. We're talking about the same health care risks that you and I all bear and since we're paying Nearly three times as much For our uniformed employees as opposed to our civilian employees We felt like it was time that we should align those and make those more fair And fair may have already been established by the civilian employees to pay again about the we pay about a third For their cost. So we could save about 15 million dollars by Aligning those costs. You've heard that before one of the other things that we thought we needed to do was to Sort of fight through the the barrier here and to be able to actually verify the actual dependence That are on that plan I don't know whether it's the police or the fire but one of them Is has we've been barred through court action from being able to verify that the dependents that are actually on the plan Are valid dependents And I think every one of us on all of our plans that seems like a routine thing that we do Every single year and with our health care It just seems logical that we ought to be able to do that and we couldn't quantify that but it would be obviously a significant savings For non-uniformed employees there's about there's an average of one dependent on the plan for a uniformed Employers 2.3 dependent. So we know there's a gap there that we need to kind of get into so that should be something to look at On the revenue building side We also thought that raising property taxes by two percent or two cents per hundred would be something to look at And so that would raise about 14 million dollars We spent most of our time trying to figure out how to balance all that So we're kind of spin thrifts. We didn't come up with a whole lot of new ideas to spend money But we do think that there's too many potholes around the city and we need to really reevaluate The process of you know prioritizing how we fix our streets San Antonio our streets are known for being part of the drainage system They take a lot of wear and tear and our city is growing. It's something we need to reassess And we also believe that Literacy is important to our community and for economic growth and we absolutely need to continue to invest more in our libraries So that's our group. Thank you so much Thank you all for making time for this tonight. Again, we are at the beginning of the process. It's a very long process All of the discussions from the tables today will be compiled by city staff as the city council goes into the goal setting Meeting next week where we'll be get to again absorb all the comments that were made and a lot of things are sticking out Already on the revenue side as well as on the expense side And again, we're going into the fiscal year 15 discussions with a big challenge Chris that is indeed a 27 to 35 million dollar budget shortfall So knowing that you guys are caring about parks about libraries about street maintenance about police and fire protection about the challenges on the other side of the ledger which are again balancing unsustainable increases in health care things like that These are all very important concepts that we're going to be discussing and find out How are we going to balance these things in a responsible way? I did want to address one thing and I think it's a good way of ending the discussion tonight, which is How many of you raise your hand are on a city board or commission? Could you raise your hand? I want to say thank you to all of you if you can give them a round of applause For the work that you do Which is extremely important work I made note of one comment here and I like to also the comments about ADA I think those are very important things that we're working on this as a city together But I did want to make one comment. There was there was a concern about citizen oversight So all those folks that raised your hand and all of the rest of you that are in this room tonight have shown That you go above and beyond You are doing the work on behalf of your neighbors and the rest of the residents of san Antonio that we so desperately need In the area of citizen oversight That's the exact reason that we have city boards and commissions Is that we have citizens engaged in the process of governance and finance and service delivery in our city And so look to those folks and for those of you who want more citizen oversight I would challenge you to contact your city council member If i'm that person or joe is that person please talk to us tonight We would love to have you involved at that level of of citizen oversight at the city the city boards and commissions I want to thank the city staff our city manager, sheryl skelly. Happy birthday Our police and fire representatives. Thanks for the work that you do And uh, you all have a great night joe did you want to make some comments? Okay, you all have a great night Go spurs

Yotam Ottolenghi: "From Arak To Za’Atar", SOAS, University of London
|
This SOAS Food Studies Centre (http://www.soas.ac.uk/foodstudies/) Distinguished Lecture titled "From Arak To Za’Atar: Jerusalem and its many culinary traditions" was given by Yotam Ottolenghi at SOAS, University of London on 12 November 2014.
"In my lecture I will talk about stuffed vegetables and rice casseroles, about hummus wars and various other culinary skirmishes, and about pork shrewdly dressed as turkey. Through these I will try to give a general view of Jerusalem, its tapestry of people and some of the foods they celebrate and fight over.”
Biography
“I grew up in Jerusalem and left it more than two decades ago. More recently, I returned to the city to look at it through a chef’s eyes and try to understand its food. This turned out to be a very tall order: the city’s culinary cultures are so complex and intricate, and also so sensitive and politically charged, that I had to make do with descriptions and stories that are either very private or rather arbitrary.”

and a round of applause for Maya Yusef, who's a graduate of the SOAS MA in Ethnomusicology and currently a PhD student here in the school who played the kanun for us earlier. I'm Harry West, Professor of Anthropology and Chair of the SOAS Food Studies Center. And on behalf of the SOAS Office of Development and Alumni Relations and the Food Studies Center, welcome to what promises to be a very special event. The lecture this evening is, excuse me, one of many organized annually by my colleagues in Alumni Relations in order to facilitate the continued engagement of SOAS graduates in the life of the school. Tonight's talk is also a highlight event on the calendar of the SOAS Food Studies Center. It's the eighth of the Center's Distinguished Lecture Series. Before I introduce the speaker, please allow me to say a few words about the Center and the Lecture Series. The SOAS Food Studies Center was founded in 2007 and is committed to the study of the political, economic, and cultural dimensions of food and more specifically to the dynamic interaction between these dimensions, whether in the past, present, or future, from production through to consumption, not only in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, but also in the rest of the world. More than 40 members of staff at SOAS belong to the Center, while several hundred students, academics, and from other universities, policymakers, activists, journalists, makers and vendors of food also belong to the Center as associate members. The Center fosters the teaching of food-related courses at SOAS, it facilitates supervision of research theses, and it builds networks between scholars with an interest in food at SOAS and beyond. Among its most important public functions are the weekly SOAS food forum and distinguished lectures such as tonight. And beginning with this lecture, the Center will partner with Gastronomica, the Journal of Critical Food Studies, in the organization of its distinguished lectures, which will be published as such in the journal. Should anyone wish to join the Center as an associate member, which is free of charge, and be placed on the Center email list, please send an email to soasfoodstudiesatsoas.ac.uk. You'll also find that address in the postcard that's in the bag that you will have found on the seat when you came into the room. In that bag, you will also find a small box and a fork to go with it. This treat has been prepared for you in one of Autolenghi's kitchens, and it includes a cucumber and poppy salad with chili, which is taken from Autolenghi the cookbook, roasted butternut squash with chickpeas, manuri, smoked paprika, and onion, a popular salad from Autolenghi's current catering menu, quinoa and herb cakes with spicy red pepper and tomato sauce, an adaptation from a recipe in Yotam Autolenghi's most recent book, Plenty More. Please save this parcel until after the lecture has ended. Be surprised. At the weekly food forum, we actually do eat while the speaker speaks, but we won't be doing that tonight. At the end of the lecture, you'll be ushered through the foyer on this floor and into the Brunei Gallery on this level, into the exhibition space, where drinks will be served to accompany your food. We invite you to converse there and to browse the exhibition, which is entitled Serendipity Revealed, Contemporary Sri Lankan Art, an exhibition that provides glimpses of Sri Lanka's untold stories in the aftermath of the nation's 30 year long civil war as conveyed by some of its foremost contemporary artists as well as emerging artists, in some cases with surprising humor. Finally, just outside of the gallery exit on the ground floor, you will find that the so-as bookshop has a selection of our speaker's books for sale should you wish to purchase one. Now, allow me to introduce our speaker. Yotam Ottolengi was born in Jerusalem in 1968. He grew up in a secular Jewish household. His father, an Italian born professor of chemistry at the Hebrew University and his mother of German background was a high school principal who went on to work in the Ministry of Education running the country's high schools. Yotam excelled academically and in 1991 began study at Tel Aviv University in the interdisciplinary combined BA MA degree program. During his years as a student in Tel Aviv, he also worked for one of the major daily newspapers in Israel. Upon finishing his coursework and while writing his thesis on the ontological status of the photographic image in aesthetic and analytical philosophy, he moved with his then partner, Noam Bar, to Amsterdam where he worked for a time in a Dutch Jewish newspaper but also began taking cooking seriously. Something about which we're all quite happy. In 1997, he and Bar moved to London where he pursued his interest in cooking by enrolling in a six month course at Cordon Bleu. He contemplated doctoral studies as well as a career in journalism but ultimately decided to make a career of his growing love of cooking. Between 1997 and 2001, he worked at various London restaurants, ultimately becoming head pastry chef at a restaurant bakery called Baker and Spice in Knightsbridge. There he met Sammy Tamimi who had also grown up in Jerusalem and also spent time in Tel Aviv before moving to London. Yotam and Sammy quickly became friends, sharing memories that were at once distinctive, overlapping and complimentary. For Yotam had grown up in the Jewish neighborhood of Ramah Denia and Sammy in a Palestinian household in the city's eastern quarter. Otolengi would leave Baker and Spice in 2001 but the conversations that he had had with Tamimi gave foundation to their eventual partnership along with Bar in the first Otolengi delicatessen which opened on Leadbury Road in Notting Hill in 2002. They were soon joined by a fourth partner, Cornelia Stobli, forming a group that remains together to this day. In 2004, they would open their first restaurant on Upper Street in Islington. The following year, another delicatessen was opened in Kensington and in 2007, a third in Belgravia on Montcom Street. The latest addition to the Otolengi family is the restaurant Nopi, opened in 2011 on Warwick Street in Soho. Drawing on the culinary traditions and flavors not only of Israel and Palestine but also of the broader Mediterranean region and interpreting these within an ever more cosmopolitan London foodscape, Otolengi's eateries have popularized simple, albeit to many often previously unfamiliar ingredients. While bountiful vegetables feature prominently, their offerings regularly juxtapose what some would classify as vegetarian fare with fish and meat, challenging categorical assumptions in provocative ways. Otolengi is known not only for his eateries but also for his contributions to food media. Since 2006, he has written a weekly food column in the Saturday edition of The Guardian. He has also published four cookery books which have sold over one million copies worldwide. The first of these written with Tamimi, entitled Otolengi the Cook Book, came out in 2008 with Iberi Press and has been translated into four languages. Next came Plenty, a collection of recipes first developed in The Guardian column, published in 2010 with Iberi. This book has received many awards and was ranked 40th on the Observer Food Monthly Best Cook Books Ever in 2010. In 2012, Otolengi and Tamimi co-authored a book entitled Jerusalem also with Iberi. In the words of Jane Kramer, the book is about the food of their home and the rich symbiosis of Arab and Jewish culinary traditions that survives in the markets and kitchens of an otherwise fractured city. And we'll hear more about this this evening. Jerusalem won the Observer Food Monthly Best Cook Book Award in 2013 along with the James Beard Award for Best International Cook Book. More recently, Yotam has published plenty more out with Iberi in September of 2014. Alongside these published works, he's produced a number of programs for television with which many of you will be familiar. The 2011 BBC Four Documentary Series, Jerusalem on a Plate, followed him as he returned to his hometown of Jerusalem to discover the hidden treasures of its extraordinarily rich and diverse food culture. And this was winner of the Guild of Food Writers' 2012 Kate Whiteman Award for Work on Food and Travel. Following that, the series, Otolengi's Mediterranean Feasts on More Four, Otolengi's Mediterranean Island Feasts also aired on More Four in 2013. He has also taught courses at various festivals at Lease Cookery School in London and has also taught courses on food writing for The Guardian and Arvong Foundations. Through all of these endeavors, Otolengi has, in the words of Jane Wheatley, quietly changed the way people in Britain shop and cook and eat. So it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you tonight Yotam Otolengi. Can you see this? Yes, okay. I think it's gonna be the first time that the introduction is longer than the actual presentation. But that's okay. And I've also unilaterally changed the title of the lecture. I didn't tell Harry, but I decided to change it because I actually wrote the proposal or the description before I actually wrote the lecture. So once I've written it over the last couple of days, I've decided to change the title. So I hope you don't mind. And then the images that I've chosen to show while I'm talking about Jerusalem, which is my hometown, are just kind of a random selection of pictures that I think convey the spirit of the place because I thought it would be good to show the food, et cetera. But it's not directly related to the topic that I'm covering. So if there is a slight contradiction between what I'm saying in the picture, just don't judge me for that. So I will start by, I will start now and then we've got time for Q and A. Yeah. So in 2010, my friend and business partner, Noam Barr, suggested that Sami and I would write a Jerusalem cookbook together. Sami and I both grew up in the city in the 1970s and 80s. He and Sami was brought up in the Muslim East side and I was brought up in the Jewish West side. And although we shared really an uncannily similar projectory, we only met in London in 1999. At first, Sami and I were a bit reluctant. We both had the sense that this would be a massive task to write a book like that. It would require some painful whittling at something we weren't quite sure that is going to make sense at the very end. More importantly, we had doubts whether we really wanted to revisit Jerusalem. Jerusalem is an ancient place with the burden of its history very much evident in every alleyway and every stone wall. It is constantly looks back, it constantly looks back at its past to validate the present. It is frequently somber and reflective. In short, the sort of place that anyone young and forward looking would like to run a million miles away from, which is exactly what Sami and I did in our youth to embrace a modern, carefree, Western lifestyle first in Tel Aviv and later on in London. The food we ended up cooking and serving in our restaurants, although often utilizing ingredients from the Middle East is also far from traditional. In a sense, it's more San Francisco, Sydney, or London than it is Jerusalem. So why did we actually go back and write this book? And it all happened one afternoon when I came to Sami's house in Acton. It was rainy and we started sharing memories of our childhood and food. Things that were really kind of, it's hard to describe it. I think the pictures will do more justice than the actual descriptions, but I think I have tried to put it in words. A sneaky falafel in a pita on the way home from school, dried fruit and nut vendor, which was the must stop in the city center. Little cakes drenched in rosewater syrup and other made with goat's cheese and pistachios. We remembered Kurdish semolina kippe in a lemony broth on a Friday afternoon in sweet Jericho oranges squeezed freshly for juice. We got excited like children with the memory of stuffed vegetables cooked for hours in tomato and spice sauce or a plate of fresh labneh drizzled with oil and finished with the dusting of zaatar. It really didn't take very long to us forget it's so pilly nostalgic about Jerusalem that we grew up in and we were happy to delve in this world and start exploring and cooking. But the more difficult task was really for us, the challenge was we're the choices we had to make. What would end up in the book? How could we possibly do even a slight justice to a place with such a vast ancient history and a very, very intricate present? The forces that play in the city's culinary stage are numerous and diverse as the number of visitors in the city. And there's a number of Jewish diaspora and Jerusalem is made up of Palestinian and Jews and lots and lots of others. As we were listening, listing our ideas it quickly transpired the only way around was just to tell our own private memories. I had to get in my mother's pot petoni which is the most amazing meatloaf with capers, pistachios, and gherkins. She used to serve it for the seder for Passover. And Sammy had to absolutely have in there his hilbe which is a semolina fenugreek cake. That all I can say is it is a little bit like marmite. Either you like it or you hate it. And there's nowhere in the middle. So our choices ended up being very, very idiosyncratic. They were based on our private palates, our private stories and on the stories of the people that we were researching. We were talking to while we were researching for the book. Instead of trying to cover all grounds we covered the grounds that we liked. And our book is full of, as a result it was full of Palestinian and Sephardic dishes, kebabs and homo splatters for example or spicy fish or stuffed aubergine. But it does much less justice to Ashkenazi which is the Eastern European Jewish kind of food and there's no gefilte fish in sight to anyone who knows what that is. Still, although this may seem arbitrary and almost unfair I believe that we did somehow manage to capture some unifying themes that reflect the city's atmospheres and share some light over what the people of Jerusalem actually serve at their dinner tables and why. In the same fashion I would like to start today by drawing up a few arbitrary images for you to imagine. This is not just to get you in the mood it is just no other way really to begin to understand the nature of Jerusalem. The city is so diverse and so torn it is deeply rooted in real historical episodes but at the same time it is so fictional and imagined. It's a place that eludes any definition or a grand narrative in my mind. So I would like to draw a few images now for you and afterwards come back to them and try to make a little bit of sense of the images. So you've got those images and the images that I'm gonna give you now and then I'll come back and try to explain it or to make some order in it. So imagine a Palestinian mother telling her teenage daughter to quickly brush up on her skills at rolling vine leaves or her chances of finding a suitable husband will diminish rapidly. What the mother in this case Sammy's mother has in mind is a perfectly thin vine leaves rolled like a fine cigar with the rice filling tightly held in place ready to absorb the exact amount of liquid which will get the rice to cook but not too much makes them swell just at the right amount for the sweet and spice flavor to come through the vine leaves and cook the rice and afterwards get it to cool down and serve with thick yogurt. Over in West Jerusalem on the Jewish side I want you to imagine Rachela Schreffler who is preparing for the weekend. Who's coming? That's anyone's guess but Rachela who is immigrated from Iran at the age of 10 and now is in her 70s, has nine children and many grandchildren and plenty of family friends and all of which can show up any time be it Friday lunchtime, the evening of Shabbat meal, breakfast on Saturday morning or for leftovers at lunchtime meal. On Friday morning she's got dozens of pots and pans bubbling filled with anything from soups and stews to all kinds of meat stuffed with vegetables and dumplings. You can find Turkish, Kurdish, Yemeni, Moroccan, Persian and Ashkenazi dishes in her kitchen all of which are prepared using few ingredients, plenty of oil and hours of slow cooking. The dishes are designed so they can be kept warm and delicious throughout the holy weekend but they also represent various countries of origins of different members of the family. Now come back with me to East again and during the month of Ramadan and particularly during Eid which signifies its end, there is a slight chaos in many Palestinian homes when groups of women are rushing to make mountains of Marmoul which is the quintessential Arabic holiday cookie it's made out of a simolina dough and stuffed with nuts or dates or a mixture of them and some cinnamon. And now don't reach into your boxes please, it's for later. During Sami's childhood there used to be a dedicated local woman, Sami and his siblings used to call her auntie, that used to come every year and help the women of each family make enough cookies for the huge number of guests visiting the house during Ramadan but also for the local poor. Now from where Sami was brought up, not far from there there is Abu Shukri which is one of the most loved and respected hummus joints in town. And I'm just gonna stop here for a second and explain a little bit about hummus because most of you probably know hummus from a tab that you get in the supermarket, cold and horrible but a hummus is really a ceremony in Jerusalem in Jerusalem and other parts of the Middle East. It's a whole big lunch or brunch dish that is served at room temperature or sometimes even warm with lots of fantastic topping. So it's the local food in many senses but it's a whole ceremony of dining that is something that needs to be experienced in order to understand. So try to put aside all those hummus tubs that you've got in your fridge along with the coleslaw and imagine some of the images that will come later of hummus. Abu Shukri is one of those kind of most iconic hummus places in the old city. It's situated at the very heart of the old city on the Via Dolorosa which is officially the path which Jesus is believed to have taken carrying the cross to his crucifixion. The place is run by a father and son team probably 65 and 40, that's just my idea. Local Palestinians, Christian pilgrims, Israelis and tourists all come for the venerated hummus prepared daily in this local institution by mixing chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon juice and garlic and served with various toppings. The hummus is made fresh in the morning and served throughout the day but before it goes out to the first table the father, Raed Taha, must taste the hummus, his son's hummus and give his approval. Now, it seems that it's just too important, it seems to me because I've never asked him to leave this crucial decision to the youth even if the youth is a grown up man that has been making hummus for more than half his life. Another character is Daniela Lerner who is Jewish and lives in Western Jerusalem and also runs a traditional restaurant. Her tradition is very different though from the hummus place. She specializes in Spanioli food which is the tradition of Jews that have lived in the city for centuries but are mainly descendants of Jews that were expelled from Spain in the 15th centuries during the Inquisition. It is essentially Balkan food where many Jews were stopped on the way to Palestine heavily influenced by local motifs such as Ashkenazi Jewish cooking and local Arab dishes. Many come to Daniela's restaurant to try the famous pastelikos which are mini tartlets filled with ground beef and pine nuts but the menu also includes makluba which is an upside down rice and vegetable cake, absolutely delicious. There's a recipe in Jerusalem you've got to try and kuga which is a caramelized long-baked Ashkenazi pasta cake which you shouldn't try which is made but she serves it with tahini and black pepper in a much better outfit in my mind and albondigas which are meatballs also from Old Spain. The Spanioli food that Daniela strives to preserve is as diverse and complex as the city itself. This melange of traditions is an extreme opposition to our next stop which is the dining table of thousands of Jewish families in Mershearim which is an Orthodox neighborhood and with many similar neighborhoods all around the city. Here there is no attempt in a suitable picture to just came up. There's no attempt to break away from cuisine very much fossilized over centuries in Eastern Europe. Go to local grocery and you'll find frozen chunks of gefilte fish, we've discussed that already. Carp fishcakes those are in every shape and form. There is also kishke which is another beige food stuff which is made of intestines stuffed with mainly bread and fat, the ideal vehicle for absorbing flavors from the Cholent which is a traditional one pot cooked overnight for Shabbat with potatoes, meat, whole eggs in their shells and various years legumes and the legendary chopped liver and goose fat which is often replaced with a fake version of liver flavored aubergine which is an economical local invention from the days of the rationing. It's made to emulate the flavor of liver and actually it's become even more popular than the chopped liver nowadays. Much more attractive to me at least are the braided halabreads which with their keiki variants, crons or babka cakes that are light, sweet and fluffy and perfect base for breakfast toasts with butter and jam. On one of the main alleyways in the old city there's a famous spice shop with a prominent icon at the front which is a big Zaatar pyramid it's shown earlier, I don't know if you've noticed it which is meticulously erected as a real showstopper. The structure consists of little steps of dried and then powdered Zaatar leaves each topped with a bit of sumac and toasted sesame seeds which are the components of the dried powder which is also called Zaatar. This is just made, the whole thing is just meant to confuse you terribly. And at the top of the pyramid there's a little replica of the dome of the rock shrine which is that iconic golden dome which is the most recognizable symbol of Jerusalem. At the back of the shop sits a cantankerous old man, the owner who tries to convert everybody to Islam. His two sons who actually run the business and seem not to care too much about politics and religions are there to moderate the father and make sure they can make a living out of the spices. They are always courting the droves of Israeli and Jewish tourists that are the most recent converts to Zaatar that come to buy the spices and they do it whether the father likes it or not. The spirit of the father also hovers over a cafe Kadosch which is a Jewish bakery in a coffee shop that opened in 1967 by Mary Kadosch which is a Sephardi Jew who learned his trade from Ashkenazi Hungarian bakers that established, he established the bakery as the go-to place for Viennese pastries and typical Eastern European cakes like the cranes, the poppy seed and various cheesecakes. Mary's has died since but his son eats and carries on serving cakes that have become as typically Israeli as falafel and hummus. As iconic a culinary melting pot as Kadosch is it is almost as famous for being the venue for parliament. This is a daily gathering of veterans who get there at seven o'clock in the morning and eat their rugolach and drink their black coffee and put the world to right. Its cakes are the necessary background for heated debates on the topics ranging from the latest round of American brokered peace talks with the Palestinians to the dismal performance of one of the local football teams. A poil or betar, one is leaning to the left and the other to the right in a recent league match. So even the sports has political affiliation. Another local hub which is extremely popular with secular Jews from all over Israel and many visitors to the city is Machna Yuda which is a relatively newcomer to Jerusalem's culinary scene but a restaurant that single-handedly changed it dramatically. And they now have a branch in London which is called Palomar which I urge you all to go and try because it's very good. It's located by the city's bustling fruit and vegetable market and Machna Yuda calls it a market restaurant. It draws most of its produce from the market and bases the menu on the availability of local ingredients. But unlike other restaurants near the market which are normally more traditional, Machna Yuda doesn't cook the food of one particular ethnic group. It's oozing with creativity and makes all sorts of things from all over the region. You'd find tuna sashimi with watermelon and radishes, a salad of mixed herbs, bulgur and mozzarella or a deconstructed kebab with tahini yogurt, harissa and preserved lemon. Essentially the restaurant draws its inspiration for the international scene but also remains very much grounded in local Jewish and Arabic food traditions. By the way, this is the kugel, the pasta cake that I told you that I don't like but actually some people really love it so maybe you should give it a chance if you come across it but don't blame me if you don't like it. It's first you make caramel, then you make your noodles, then you put a couple of bottles of sunflower oil inside and then you leave it in the oven for about 24 hours. So back to this amazing restaurant, Komachniyudai, it does local fusion while breaking every rule in the book. The absolute antithesis to Abu Shukri, the hummus joint or the orthodox Maeshari neighborhood. Lastly, I would like to take you back in time, some 30 years back and imagine me. A goofy, lanky teenager, son of a middle-class family, a good boy with a great appetite. I grew up with a father from Italy and a mother from Germany, both of which taught me to love food and be very, very adventurous with it. There was no shyness or inhibition in our house when it comes to food. I must have been the first Israeli boy to have beef rendang cooked for me in the 1970s because my mom had this book called The Round the World Cookbook by Myra Waldo. I don't know if any of you remembers that, probably not. But anyway, it was kind of her Bible and she tried all sorts of wonderful things, sometimes weird things as well, which she constantly experimented with. My mother was also the one to throw caution to the wind and embrace her Germanic love for the swine in a city where pork could only be bought under the counter wrapped in a discreet brown paper bag, which is absolutely true, I've not made that up. Her, how proud I was to be munching on a real ham sandwich at school on the lunch break while telling my mates, this is my mom's advice, that these were actually pure 100% turkey sandwiches. But my pink turkey sandwich was a source of great satisfaction, I felt very special. So that was the last stop on the list of images that I wanted you to imagine. Now I try to make a little bit of sense of all this. First, from the images that I've chosen, it is probably apparent how diverse Jerusalem is. To my mind, this is a unique and very special kind of diversity because there's many other diverse places in the world. But I think Jerusalem has an extraordinary way in which the past interplays with the present. The tapestry, which is the city's peoples, draws heavily on an ancient past. It consists of a multiple of old religions that are fervently adhered to and serve as fundamentals of existence for the majority of the population. Yet despite these ancient and historical and religious roots, more than half of the people of Jerusalem are the first, second, or third generation in the city. That means that there are complete newcomers in historical terms. But so if you didn't know the Jerusalem psyche, you could have been forgiven for thinking that it's a young city. In actual fact, it's not young at all, especially not in people's mind. When it comes to the food, this psychological complexity warrants some serious confusion. The oldest inhabitants of Jerusalem are descendants of Muslims, Jews, and Christians who have inhabited the city for millennia. Despite their apparent religious rift, these actually have many food in common. Since they share a history of a time and a place, they also share culinary treasures like stuffed courgettes, served with yogurt and mint, homo-stopped with spiced lamb, fattoush salad, drizzled with tahini, or my favorite is majadra, which is a rice and lentil dish, which is covered with obscene quantities of fried onion. Yet other more recent arrivals have often had less of the tangible in common with each other. These are Jews from all corners of the earth who assembled in Jerusalem willingly, but more often pretty reluctantly over the last 120 years. They made the city, making their home in the poor ancient city that had lots to offer on the spiritual front, but very little materialistically. Polish Jews brought with them pierogi dumplings that they stuffed with potato and onion. Libyan Jews cook their haime, which is a spicy fish with caraway and cumin. Turkish Jews, they're cheesy borax. In Yemeni, they're spicy coriander and cardamom, chili sauce, which is called schug, and happened to become the national chili sauce. It's the Israeli ketchup. Regardless of whether they share foods, religion, or a historical narrative, Jerusalemites live in a shaky and a very uncertain reality. All the inhabitants of the city, Muslim Jews, Christians, old natives, or new inhabitants know very well the list of empires and peoples this place had seen. We're talking about a city where absolutely everything is transient, nothing is certain or permanent. Everybody knows how many rulers and occupiers Jerusalem has seen arrive with great grandeur and ceremony and then leave banished forever. The list is endless, Amorites, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, Ottomans, Brits. Jerusalem has seen them all. And that's a lot. Only in Jerusalem, unlike other well-trodden lands, it's not only the land that has seen the flux, it is part and parcel of the collective unconsciousness of the people. And it's not really unconsciousness because it is alive and well and reinforced every day by conflict and strife. So ancient historical facts play a vital part in very current events. The very recent trauma of the 20th century, the Jewish Holocaust of which the state of Israel structures its narrative and justifies its existence on is the latest and most ghastly in a series of national traumas going back to the enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt, three and a half millennia ago. It is hard to overstate the degree and sensitivity that the Israeli Jews feel as a result of the Holocaust, the obstacles on the way of establishing a nation state after this trauma, and the conflicts that ensued with the Arab neighbors and the Palestinian population. The Palestinians carry the deep wounds of their Nakba, the displacements of hundreds of thousands of people and lost of villages and whole towns as a result of the 1948 war with Israel. The majority of the nation turned into refugees after 1948, and the rest live under Israeli occupation since 1967. Nowhere in the world it seems to me do the ancient and the current play such an intimate game in fundamentally and constantly shaping people's minds in their daily lives. Muslim and Jews alike repetitively tell themselves in their children ancient stories of the land and its significance. From Ishmael and Isaac, the half brothers and sons of Abraham who were the official forefathers of these two nations, stories of struggle and triumph are fought for the building of national identity, a coherent narrative that is meant to heal a fractured reality. These narratives though fly in the face of the shakiest of existence. All Jerusalemites are either recent newcomers, recently exiled, recently occupied, or recent occupiers. It is all extremely fresh and real and concrete, so I think everybody in a sense has a victim's consciousness. The repercussions of this are immense. For someone who is trying to understand the nature of the city, in my case it's food and culinary identity. This fractured reality means that it is all but impossible to draw conclusions that go much beyond the family circle or some private circumstance. How the Ma'amul begs for Ramadan in Sami's family could possibly be related to the Ma'amul which looks and tastes exactly the same that is served for Shabbat dinner at the tables of Sephardi Jews that immigrated from Aleppo in Syria. They're obviously the same things, yet this does not fit in any way with the stories that are told in Jerusalem about identity, tradition, and ownership. And now I get to the title of the lecture, Identity, Tradition, and Ownership. And I think that these last three themes are understood in tandem or played against each other are very effective keys in unreading many of the individual stories that are played out in the city. In an uncertain reality where your every very existence, the actual ground under your feet is permanently in doubt, a scent of solid identity is as essential as oxygen or water. To establish this identity tradition which is an acclaimed linear justensibly guaranteeing the solid historical underpinning of the reality or ownership which is an almost legal term, the legal right to your situation excluding someone else's, both of these are often used either in practice or in argument. Sami's sister's ability to roll vine leaves so they look like dainty cigarettes will guarantee her in her mom's eyes a solid place in the female family line and thus ensure a clear sense of identity for her and for the family in an age of uncertainty and general upheaval for both for Palestinian women in society at large and for Palestinian culture as a whole which is under threat by a stronger, often less traditional Jewish society. Abu Shukri, the homeless restaurant is a similar story, stickler to tradition this time on the male line which in the Palestinian society, the male, the men cook in public and the women cook at home which is quite often the case all over the Middle East and other parts of the world. Ra'ataha makes sure that the hierarchy isn't in any way compromised by his son acquiring the liberty to judge the quality of the hummus independently. More importantly, I suspect his age offers an implicit guarantee to diners that his hummus is traditional and therefore done properly. Tradition is also used here to aid in a tassel with Jewish restaurants in West Jerusalem who claim to make better hummus than the Arab counterparts. This is a part of the struggle over ownership of hummus which many Palestinians claim as having been colonized by Israelis and asserted as their own. In Jewish society, cooking on Thursday and Friday for Shabbat is an ancient tradition necessitated by the religious prohibition to light fire on Saturday and the demand for total rest on the holy day. In the diaspora, this was one among many signifiers marking out the Jewish community from the rest of society. But in Jerusalem with its Jewish majority, the preparation for Shabbat can single out traditional Jews from those who are completely secular. But it's also a way of making sure that a family or an ancient group doesn't lose all of the culinary tradition they had before immigrating to Israel. The Zionist project, which is what Israel is based on, at least in the early days, but still to some extent today, set out to erase all individual signifiers of the communities that were thrown together in the Israeli melting pot. People were expected to change their names, forget their native languages and start over in a new, strong, and independent state that puts the burdensome past behind. This total annihilation came at an enormous personal price. Immigrants with rich cultural heritages were left rootless and worthless with a whole generation lost in between a buried past and a promised future. Food and the customs attached to it remain the only link to the old country. For Achela Shreffler, who I mentioned earlier, cooking for Shabbat and feeding her grandchildren Persian saffron rice and Kurdish kubesoup is probably the only legitimate way for asserting yourself and keeping her sense of identity. The climbing up of descending voices that was advocated by early Zionists is also evident elsewhere. Other cities in the Middle East, Istanbul, Alexandria, Cairo, Damascus have always been the melting pot where people of different religions and ethnicities lived side by side and shared both culinary traditions and the joy of eating. But many of these cities are now much more homogenous than they used to be. In the 20th century, through the rise of nationalism first and then more recently religious fundamentalism, these cities have turned into monocultural places. The Greek cafes are gone from the promenade in Alexandria and the Jewish quarter from Damascus and the ubiquitous Armenian merchants which were everywhere were more or less banished. Jerusalem is different since everyone is prepared to protect it with their lives. No sect is able to dislodge the other from the city. For the Orthodox Ashkenazi Jews who reject Zionism altogether along with many other signs of modernity, having in the heart of the Middle East the exact same diet their ancestors had in Poland or Ukraine is a way of making sure that their sons and daughters are as deeply rooted as possible in their tradition and don't cast their eyes elsewhere. While less traditional Jews adopted Palestinian hummus and falafel as well as international foods and a bunch of popular dishes of other, the Ashkenazi Orthodox identity cannot withstand the culinary onslaught of the other. It's just got too much to lose. Paradoxically, my childhood obsession with pork is not completely dissimilar to the Orthodox stance. Looking back with hindsight as grown man it is pretty clear that the pleasure I got from this provocation was also all about safeguarding a sense of identity in a state of uncertainty. My way of dealing with my teenage angst, there's some, you can use it if you like, or with issues of adulthood and proclaiming my individuality was by extreme irreverence, by giving the finger to what was considered a taboo by 99% of the people around me. Identity, tradition, and ownership are also effective terms in understanding the restaurants I described earlier. Daniela Lera's Spanioli restaurant is a particular interesting case. It features the food of a small Jewish community which has been in Jerusalem for many generations before Zionism, but it corresponds perfectly with an official Zionist ethos that claims that the right to settle in Israel is partly based on the continuous presence of Jews in the land since ancient times. So the Spaniolim, the real Israelis, the ones that have never left, have not been tainted by the diaspora. They are, in a sense, they're pure. They need no remoulding as their brethren who have just come from far afield. So the Spanioli food is therefore more authentic and fits perfectly into the identity of the new Israeli. But Spanioli food is, in my mind, esoteric and also smells too much of the past. It's not really alive. Mahniudah, the market restaurant, promises to do what no one else has done before. It fuses together the foods of all Jewish diasporas with the local and traditional ingredients in an attempt to create a whole new cuisine. The new Israeli culinary identity that seems to be proposed by this restaurant is a construct which is extremely attractive to young Israeli and to visiting Jews. It melts together the old and the new, apparently seamlessly. It is saying we learned our lessons and are now willing to eat tahini as well as chopped liver and Yemeni chili sauce. And this means that we're finally part of the region. We have actually integrated so we can now stay. This is a clever divergence from the old Zionist ethos because it seems more enlightened because it reckons with the Jewish past and has a certain degree of dialogue as well with the local and the present. But the Mahniudah example of forging identity through food is the latest and freshest among all instances I've presented here, but yet I still feel that it's just one of many attempts to make order in a very fractured and multifaceted city. It works for a few, but it's definitely not the whole picture. What Sammi and I sense when we were working on our Jerusalem project that the city is just too diversified, too checkered and too raw to be covered by one story as still holds, I'm afraid. What we do have still are individual stories about identity, about tradition and about ownership and lots and lots of very good food. Thank you.

So remember this, it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep. And taxes are the number one reason why you'll lose a ton, but there's a way around this. First of all, taxes suck. I think even the Bitcoin maximalists and the XRP army can all agree on one thing, and that is that taxes are awful. So here's a question before we start. Question one is, would you rather pay a 20% tax on $180,000 or a 15% tax on $2 million? And number two is, do you think you live past 60 years old? Now me personally, I think I've made it this far, so why not? It's not outside the realm of possibility that I can make it that far. So let's start with the average viewer of this channel. Let's go with a person who is about 35 years old. That's pretty much somebody who is in the middle. Now it's just an average. You might be older or younger, but this is just an example. And according to the US Census Bureau and the Social Security Administration, people will live on average somewhere around 82 years old. That's males, females, white, black, Latino, whatever. Men will live a little bit shorter lives, women live a little bit longer, so around 82. But let's say you retire at 65, so you got about 20 years to go until you kick the bucket. I mean, well, it's actually 17, but let's just round out to keep things simple. Again, you might live longer or shorter than this. I'm not no Stradamus. Let's just go with the average. So obviously, the earlier you retire, the more money you might need so you don't run out. It really all depends on how long you wanna work. So that means that if you're around 35 years old, you've got 30 years to save up for retirement. Now it may sound far away, but let me tell you right now, it is not. And I put this little hashtag okay boomer as a reminder because I was in your shoes. If you're 20 years old, at some point, I was in your shoes and someone told me a long time ago about compound interest and retirement and I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I'll get to that. And I didn't and here I am playing catch-up, talking to you about these things. So again, it's not about what you make, it's about what you keep. And one of the biggest obstacles you and I are going to face is the tax man. And I know there's some libertarians right now saying, hey, taxation is theft. Well, that's what these people said and it didn't work out too hot for them. You got Willie, Wesley, Martha and even Al Capone got pinched for tax evasion. So good luck doing better than these guys. And here's a little trivia, which one of these four did not serve jail time? Because three did, federal jail time. The only one that didn't was actually Willie and the way he did it was he made a tape and paid the IRS back millions of dollars. So again, good luck dodging the IRS. Now, have you ever signed up with an exchange, done any kind of KYC, know your customer, AML, anti-money laundering or submitted a photo ID or passport or social security number to any exchange or wallet? Cause if you did any of those, chances are the government knows you have crypto and this question on your 1040 for taxes should have been answered, yes. Now look, I'm not here to calm down anyone but I've been through an IRS audit and it is no fun. So trust me when I say the IRS knows but stay with me because I'm gonna show you the smart way to do things and how to massively reduce your taxes so you can keep way more of what you make instead of giving it to the US government. So let's say you dollar cost average into Ethereum starting at the beginning of 2020. So assuming ETH goes to 10K then we need to accumulate 200 ETH over the next 30 years and that's just to break it down. 200 ETH times 10K is 2 million, right? That's just my goal and remember that's just for you. So if you wanna leave a legacy for your kids and grandkids then you might need more. Again, I don't know your personal situation but these are all just rough estimates. And also if you live longer and probably with the advancement and like anti-aging stuff you're either gonna need more cash flow or you have to tighten your budget. Now I think this is a real possibility based on how technology is advancing. This is a great and frightening at the same time. Now 80 might be the new 40 and if that's the case you're gonna need way more income which is even more of a reason to keep as much as you can and not give it away to good old Uncle Sam and nobody wants to do that. And one more thing, remember $100,000 today will not be $100,000 in 30 years especially with all this money printing going on. So just keep that in mind. So here's your options right now and they're called capital gains tax and you've got essentially two flavors. You got short-term capital gains which is anything you can make under a year. So an example is you buy Bitcoin in June 2020 and sell it April 2021. You bought it and sold it in less than a year. That is short-term capital gains tax and you'll be taxed based on your filing status. So if you're a single and make above 39,000 you're going to be taxed at 22%, 84,000, 24 and so on and so forth. Head of household, same thing. If you make over about 52,000, 22%, 84,000, 24% and then married filing jointly and separately and this is progressive. So just be aware of that's how it is. And also here's long-term capital gains tax which is like the prettier yet still ugly sister of short-term capital gains we just saw. So this is what you can expect if you cash out after holding an asset longer than a year. So let's say that again, you are head of household and you make $52,000, you're gonna be taxed at 15%. If you make over 461,000, first of all good for you. Second of all, you got 20%. And then single 39,000, 15%, 20% and so on and so forth. So it really all depends where you fall. And one more thing, these are the current numbers. Keep in mind that these capital gains taxes have been as high as 35% in the 70s. So hopefully it doesn't go back to that in the future but who knows? We gotta pay for all this money printing, right? And it really depends on the philosophy and direction of the government at the time and who is in charge which is why I'm making plans right now. So I don't have to deal with that uncertainty in the future. Also, more bad news, depending on the state you live in, you also have to pay state capital gains tax on top of the colossal taxes you just paid on the federal capital gains taxes. So lucky for me, I'm in Texas, so I got 0%. But who knows where I'm gonna live later? I can move to Georgia, I don't know. But Florida, Nevada, all 0%. Washington, congratulations, New Hampshire. Then you got most of the Midwest and the Southeast. You're looking at four to six. And then if you live in California, you got 10%. So sorry, Cali. So let's recap. We're gonna need money for decades after we stop working and we don't wanna pay Uncle Sam a huge chunk of our crypto gains. So here's what I'm doing. I'm putting $6,000 worth of cryptocurrency and gold per year into a Roth IRA. Now, why $6,000 and why a Roth IRA? Because six grand is the max I can contribute every year and with a Roth IRA, I'll never pay taxes on the gains from my crypto ever. Let me say that again. With a Roth IRA, the one on the right, I'll never pay taxes on the gains from my crypto ever. So if you're thinking, well, I don't have $6,000 to contribute every year, I'm on a budget. So I want you to think of it this way. If you put in $500 into Bitcoin in 2013, when it was $100 per Bitcoin, you'd be sitting on five Bitcoins right now and it'd be worth $50,000 plus and probably $500,000 in the future if it hits 100K per Bitcoin, which a lot of people do predict. Or if you had invested $500 into Ethereum in 2016, which wasn't too long ago, when it was $10, you'd have 50 Ethereum worth $200,000 right now and $500,000 if Ethereum hits 10K per ETH. The point is it doesn't matter if you contribute a little bit or the max per year, just contribute something and get prepared for the future, be proactive instead of reactive. Trust me on this one. And those examples I just gave was only $500 total. So imagine if you would have invested or could invest $1,000, $2,000 or even $6,000 which is the max every year and what might happen in the next 20 to 30 years. Now, I don't know what's gonna happen with crypto and digital assets in the future, but if history is any teacher, we could see some massive gains and unfortunately some massive taxes for those who are not careful. So the question is, do you believe that what you invest in will stay flat or massively go up in value and eventually moon? I think it's gonna weigh up. So here's why I'm using a cryptocurrency specific IRA that will massively minimize my taxes so I can keep more of what I earned. So let's break it down and talk about a traditional IRA, a SEP IRA and a Roth IRA and why I picked the Roth. Again, you can do whatever you want to do but this just made sense for me and my personal situation. So a traditional IRA, the contribution limits per year are $6,000 if you're under 49 and $7,000 if you're over 50. So that's just something to be aware of. Contribution taxes are pre-tax, meaning you put in money before the IRS taxes you on your income, which means the growth of the investment will be taxed, i.e. you save it in the beginning but then you get crushed in the end. So do you want to pay taxes on the $6,000 you put in per year or the millions it can potentially grow to? Now withdrawal taxes are tax deferred growth, meaning you pay taxes when you withdraw after age 59 and a half. So whatever your crypto investments grows to means that's what you'll pay taxes on on all of those gains. Early withdrawal fee is a 10% penalty plus a tax fee. So if you take money out before a fifth, nine and a half be prepared for a nice kick in the teeth and who is this good for? Well, this is good for people who need the tax break for this year's taxes or people who think that their taxes will be lower in the future. An example would be someone who makes like a ton of money. $200,000 salary now, but when he or she retires, they won't have that job or that high salary, which will put him in a much lower tax bracket. So that is what will be good for them. So additional info is this, you can do a rollover. So if you have a traditional IRA somewhere else or an old employer plan like a 401K, 403B, military TSB or 457, then you can move these types of accounts tax and penalty free to any type of traditional IRA. But if you wanna rollover any of those traditional plans into a Roth cryptocurrency IRA, it's considered a taxable event as additional income. Now, this might make sense in certain situations, but just talk to the pros. So we talked about traditional IRA. Let's talk about a SEP or a simplified employee pension. And for this one, the contribution limits per year are 20% of net earnings. That's pretty big, 20%. Contribution taxes are also pre-taxed, which means you put in money before the IRS taxes your income. So again, the growth of the investment will be taxed. Again, do you wanna be taxed on the 20% of your net earnings you put in or the millions it grows to? Withdrawal tax are also tax deferred, meaning you pay taxes when you withdraw after age 59 and a half. So again, whatever your crypto grows to, you'll pay tax on it. Early withdrawal fee is again, 10% penalty plus a tax fee. So again, another kick in the teeth. And this is good for small business owners and people who need the tax break for this year's taxes or people who think that their taxes will be lower in the future. Like the example we just talked about with the traditional IRA. Again, for the additional info, you can do a rollover. Talk to the pros in that one and they'll set you up. But for me, I'm a heavy crypto investor. And for me, it only makes sense to open up a Roth IRA. And here's why. So for a Roth, the contributions limits a year are again, 6,149 or 7,000 for 50 year olds and plus. Contribution taxes are post-tax, meaning that you put in money after you get taxed on your income. This means your investments grow tax-free. So again, do you wanna pay tax on the 6,000 you initially put in or the millions it will grow to? Withdrawal taxes are tax-free growth, meaning after 59 and a half, you can withdraw any amount tax-free. Early withdrawal is none for contribution. So you can also withdraw your contributions at any time for any reason and get no type of penalty. But for the earnings it makes, you could pay taxes plus a fine or both. So if you need money for any reason, just take out the contributions that you've put in and you'll be fine, although I wouldn't recommend that. So this is good for people who believe that their crypto investments are gonna shoot up massively over the next 20 or 30 years, like myself. Also it's for people who think their taxes will be higher in the future, either from government interference or they'll continue to work the rest of their lives, like small business owners or asset owners or people who have like rental properties. So just so you know, this is my choice and what I believe will work best in my situation. Again, use this information to decide what works best for you and your personal situation and that's what I have to say there. So here's a little trivia. Do you know the return on investment for an IRA that invests in the usual regular market stocks, bonds, CDs, et cetera? On average, it's a whopping six to 10%, let me say that again, per year it's six to 10% in the traditional space, that's a huge year, that's enormous. But in crypto, we call that a Tuesday. So here's a warning, how you file your taxes will make a big difference. So for the traditional and set by IRAs, there's no contribution limits based on income, meaning pretty much everyone can contribute up to 6,000 per year. But for a Roth IRA, there are contribution limits based on income and tax filing status. So you know there was a catch because everything, if it's too good to be true usually is, but there's a catch, but it's not too bad, I'm gonna show you why. So here's the Roth IRA modified adjusted income chart for 2019 and 20, they're pretty much the same. But if you filed as a single or head of household and make less than 122,000, nothing to worry about. Above that, it gets reduced at 137,000, you can't contribute anything to the Roth IRA, but there's a way around this. Now, if you filed as married filing jointly and make less than 193,000, nothing to worry about. Above that, it gets reduced and then at 203,000, you can't contribute to a Roth IRA at all, but there's a way around this. If you filed as married filing separately, like I do, and make less than $10,000, then you can only contribute a reduced amount or none at all, but there's a way around this. Now, the way around this is called a backdoor Roth IRA and it gives me all the advantage of a regular IRA regardless of my income and I'm able to contribute the max of 6,000 per year. And this little gem was passed into law by the federal government in 2010, but not too many people know about it and that's why it got me. So here's who I use for my personal Roth IRA and who I recommend to all my friends and family. And it is I trust capital and the reason for this, I went with them for three main reasons. First of all, as a team, second was because the fees and third is I can have an IRA of crypto and gold. So let me just break it down. So the team itself is the actual websites I'm gonna go to about us, click down on team. This is what I always harp about. If you wanna see a company that'll be successful, look at the team because it'll just tell you exactly what you wanna know. So this team that they've assembled, I believe is kind of bringing together the old world with the new. So Todd and Blake here and Anthony, where do you go? Anthony down here are the kind of like leading in the cryptocurrency investments and Rich, Tim and Murphy or Rich is the CTO, Tim is the economist and Murphy is the VP of operations. These guys were all part of PIMCO which has a 1.9 trillion assets that are management. So these guys manage bond trading platforms that would do one million trades a day. So the point is they know how to build and operate a trading platform at a pretty high level. So that makes sense to me. They've also got Terry down here who's got three decades in the retirement trust industry and the rest of the supporting staff which all looks pretty good. Again, I'm a big believer in teams and this one's pretty stacked. So just show me who the team is behind the company and I can tell you pretty much are they gonna be successful or not. It's the same thing with businesses, same thing with cryptocurrency and digital assets and the teams behind it. Next is the fees. So let's take a look at the fees as you go to pricing and here it is, three bucks a month, it's a count fee and then in crypto you get a 1% trading fee, 1% not too bad. Gold is $50 over spot. And the one thing I liked about this is that the fees were easy to find. I mean, I looked at other places like Bitcoin, IRA, Bitcoin, Bitcoin IRA, one of those two and it's hard to find any of their structure. So once I call them, listen to the whole spiel, the rigmarole, I was like, no thanks. So here's the fees and I gotta tell you for what I get, I think they're under charging me. So this is what you get with your monthly account fee. They set up of your new IRA, a facilitation of transfer, rollover contribution to fund your IRA. So they're gonna pretty much do all the work. Again, they will set it up. You can roll over any type of retirement plan or IRA account or any old employer plan like a 401K, a 403B, 457 or for your military folks a thrift saving plan or TSB. So they will roll it all over for you. So if you have one of those types of plans just sitting there, this is another option. And if you have more questions about that you can always just click up here under the schedule call and just schedule call and they'll answer any of your questions. That's what I did and just made a lot easier for me. Also on top of that, all the IRS and tax reporting which nobody likes to do anyhow. So thank God they do that. Unlimited storage with institutional custody partners which we talked about or we'll talk about and also platform support and maintenance. So if you have any questions or something comes up you're like, I don't understand something just reach out to them. You can message them or schedule a call and they'll answer questions pretty quickly. So all right, let's go back to the main website because the last thing was about physical gold because I believe that the new savings account is gonna be gold, silver, Bitcoin. So when they told me that they were actually offering gold, I was like, tell me more. And what's cool about this is that they're secured at the Royal County Mint, provides secure storage, global and Ottawa and Winnipeg. Minisecure, RCM waits each bullion bar upon delivery and audits the entire inventory each quarter by the Government of Canada's Office of the Auditor General. So this is pretty cool, I like that. And then the other three things, because that was a top three and then when I dug into it I found these things which I really liked. And the big thing was that they use Curve. So Curve is for storing digital assets. Let me take a look at their website. So Curve you don't know, they are making a big dent into the institutional grade custody and they are being buoyed by these big players like Itoro, Haimeer Crypto, Genesis Corbett, Swiss Borg Bitbond, Coin House, and Franklin Templeton Investments. And Franklin Templeton Investments, I think they have like almost a trillion assets in their management. Of course, those are all traditional. But I mean, if you have something like this, old school like this coming in, they're going, hey, we want to get in the game and we want to use Curve. So the same huge corporations and big entities that are using this for storage and custody, you're also seeing this for what you are storing it. So that sounds pretty good to me. Okay, so going back, there's another big thing. Let me go back to the very top. This was interesting. I just thought it kind of came with it, but I had to be told that no, it's not true. And that was about trading 24 hours a day. Because I mean, we are in cryptocurrency, right? So why wouldn't be able to be able to trade 24 hours a day? 24 seven, right? So I just expect it. But when I talk to the other competitors, there's only one that said that they actually do allow 24 seven. Other ones you have to call in during business hours to execute a trade over the phone. Also, what's great about live trading is that you can buy and sell back into fiat without taxable events when you trade within an I trust capital IRA. So when I heard this, I was like, well, that doesn't make any sense, but so, but let me be crystal clear. If you're trading outside of an IRA, like in an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken or Gemini, every sell or swap of your crypto for a profit is subject to capital gains tax. But inside of your I trust capital IRA account, there are no taxable events when you sell within the account. So here's an example. You buy Bitcoin of $5,000 and then it goes up to 10,000. You can sell half your Bitcoin for a profit of 5,000 good old US dollars. And when you do that within the I trust capital IRA, it's not a taxable event. So think of all the times you could have done that. I mean, just this year alone. And that's the power of an IRA. And it's something nobody told me about until I found these guys. Now, if you wanna get in touch with them, all you have to do is just in the description of every one of my videos, there's going to be a link that's gonna look like this. And you don't have to use the link. You can go right to I trust capital. But if you use the link, you get one month free. So it's up to you. So lastly, let me say this. So if you go with the guys that I went with or someone else, it doesn't matter. Just go with someone, somebody. And take it from me. Times move pretty fast. And before you know it, you're old. You look around thinking where did all the time go? So that is it for what I am doing. All right, everybody, welcome to the office. And then very lastly, I want to introduce you to Blake Scadron. And he is the COO of I trust capital. And it's one to actually put a face to a name. So this is the guy that we're talking about. Blake, thanks for coming on. Yeah, Dan, thanks so much for having me. I'm real excited to be a part of your channel and help all the crypto investors take advantage of the benefits of IRAs. Yeah, I really appreciate it. Now, if you guys don't know, Blake was the one that I actually reached out to them and he was the one that answered all my questions. And I had so many questions. I think I was bombarding with him with so many. I'm just glad that he actually kept me in the wheelhouse. So if you've got questions, this gentleman got answers. Him and his whole team are, they have a crack squad. And I'm happy that we can work together. So Blake, thanks for taking the time. That's it. Yeah, thank you for having me a part of your channel. All right. And everybody, the links in the description. Again, you get 30 days for free. Check that out. And then I'll see you on the next video.

It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour brought to you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a presentation of the Lawn Jean Wettner Watch Company, maker of Lawn Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Wettner Distinguished Companion to the World Honored Lawn Jeans. Good evening. This is Frank Knight. May I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope? Mr. William Bradford Huey, author and analyst, and Dr. William Peterson, author and economist. Our distinguished guest for this evening is the Honorable Lori C. Battle, United States Congressman from Alabama. Mr. Battle, many of our viewers, of course, know that you are now serving your fourth term in Congress, that you are one of the more distinguished younger Southern Southern congressmen, that you had a distinguished war record, and that you've interested yourself, particular in our foreign affairs, that you're a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Now, first of all, sir, in relation to the administration program to reduce arms expenditures, it's believed that the Democratic Party and the Democratic members of Congress may oppose the administration for the first time in its efforts now to reduce arms expenditures. Now, what about yourself, sir? Do you expect to oppose the general effort on the part of the administration to reduce arms expenditures? Well, first, Mr. Huey, let me thank you for your very kind introduction. It's a privilege to be on this great program and to have the opportunity of saying hello to the folks, and especially my constituents in Jefferson County, Alabama. As to your question, I personally will oppose this five billion dollar reduction in our military expenditures. I think it was a tragic mistake, and it was proven back in Secretary Johnson's administration when they cut to the peril point. Well, now, do you believe that it will become a party issue that the Democrats generally will oppose the reduction in arms expenditures? Well, of course, I don't believe that we can expect the Democrats to support the Republican president forever, but I hope this will not become a party measure, a party issue, because it's just too important. Mr. Battle, would you say the Air Force represents our chief striking weapon to prosecute the war in Korea? Well, I would not underestimate the effectiveness of our striking Air Force for one minute. I think it's most important, and I would sincerely and honestly, with conviction, oppose the anticipated cuts. Well, now, specifically on that cut, it's proposed to cut the Air Force by five billion dollars. And do you think that this would seriously impair the Air Force, this cut? Well, it's my understanding that it would cause something of a stretch out. In other words, instead of being prepared here in the next couple of years with a few more, a lot more planes and a greater striking force, that it would extend it on to a further period of time, and I don't think that's safe. What about your belief as far as your constituents are concerned? You believe that your constituents and the American people are willing to continue spending these vast amounts of money all the time? Well, I'm certain that my constituents want to cut out all fat and waste and economize wherever it's possible, but not to the detriment of our security. Well, now, and specifically again, do you believe that most or much of this five billion dollar proposed cut will be restored by the Congress? Well, I believe that most of it will be restored by the Congress, and I certainly hope so because I don't think that we can afford to go through the dangerous period that we have before unprepared. Well, moving on to something that you have been particularly interested in, sir, you are author of what is known as the Battle Act. Now, will you explain briefly to our viewers what the Battle Act intended to do? Well, the Battle Act is Public Law 213 of the 82nd Congress. It had two purposes, one to establish a policy for the United States. In other words, in bar-going the trade of war materials and strategic materials and preventing them from going behind the iron curtain. It had it for a second purpose, the prevention of those same materials from going from our allies behind the iron curtain to build up these communist war machines. In other words, its specific purpose was to prevent our enemy from receiving anything that might be useful in the war against us. That's exactly right, and we said that all military, economic and financial aid would be cut off from any of our recipients if they didn't follow that same policy. Now, have you made a particular study since the passage of that act? Have you made it your business to examine and see whether or not the provisions were being carried out? I certainly have. Last fall, for instance, I visited many of the highly industrialized European nations and with particularly this particular thing in mind. Mr. Fallow, how do you reconcile your position with that of Senator McCarthy? As I understand it, Senator McCarthy is to stop all aid. In other words, all shipments, foreign shipments going into China. Well, what we've done in this legislation, and I think we could still go further, is to embargo completely all war materials. That is, arms, ammunition, and implements of war, and thank goodness, according to our best intelligence, no recipient of our aid has sent any war materials as such in this limited definition. And then we go further and say that all strategic materials will be embargoed, but the President of the United States, in an exceptional case, where he has determined that it's to the security interest of the United States can make an exception. You remember the Danish tanker, and the way I would broaden this is to include in this list things like rubber and certain types of ball bearings and vehicles and the whole host of items that are useful to the enemy that is not narrow on this embargo list. Well, from your extensive information, sir, will you tell our viewers whether or not you think that our enemy has received substantial aid from our allies during the last three years? Well, I'm sorry to say, Mr. Heard, that I am convinced in my own mind and from personal observation that they have received substantial aid from our allies. Then you would probably say that this is one of the primary reasons for the big three meeting between Mr. Churchill and President Eisenhower and Mr. Blank, whoever he's going to be. Dr. Peterson, I'm certain that this issue will be brought up because it's a dividing point between us at the present time, especially the difference between Great Britain's policy and ours. Well, now, Britain is now sending rubber, for instance, to Russia, and Russia is not our enemy or at least our avowed enemy in Korea. What do you think about Britain's policy of sending rubber to Russia? Would you attempt to cut that off? Well, so far as I'm concerned, it don't make sense to continue sending military aid to our allies if they're going to continue to help to build up with the Communist War machine, not only in China but in Russia and all of the satellite countries. For instance, Great Britain has a policy of not sending rubber to China, but she sends it to Russia, where it can be converted into tires and then sent on behind Iron Curtain, wherever she may choose, even to the battle front. And I think that rubber should be classified as strategic and embargo. Well, now, what do you think about the future? In the future, do you think we have a pretty good chance of cutting off these materials that are going to all Iron Curtain countries? Well, I think very definitely. Of course, the main problem is one of enforcement and cooperation. But I think very definitely that we can expand these lists and go much further and accomplish a whole lot more to prevent the buildup of the war machine coming from items that originate in the West. Well, now, in these efforts to cut off trade with our enemy, you of course run into the question now of also our efforts to increase trade in the world. You come from the South, which is traditionally supported a free trade policy. Do you support generally the idea of more world trade? I certainly do. And as a matter of fact, I will support the reciprocal trade policy that the President has asked us to extend. While at the same time, that does not apply to these materials that we are talking about. And I don't think that we can continuously and forever deplete our resources without taking things back into our own country. Well, Mr. Battle, with particular reference to the importation of oil, particularly from South America, you're coming from a coal producing district. How do you feel about foreign oil? Well, I used to think that this slogan of trade and not aid was about the only non-controversial issue in my district. But I found recently that not only the coal operators, but the union operators have gotten together for a change, and they have asked me to support the Simpson bill, which would limit the amount of import of oil. I think, of course, that we must be reasonable about the proposition. And at the same time, realize, for instance, that all that would come from Venezuela is an important thing, because we're going in our district, in our own area, to import iron ore from Venezuela. You mean the Birmingham district is now importing iron ore from Venezuela? Well, we may have a very rich source of ores, and we are going to import them through the Port of Mobile to help out in our industries and therefore preserve our resources for a longer period of time. So I believe in protecting our industries, but at the same time being reasonable. Well, as a final question, Mr. Battle, coming back to all of this extensive experience that you've had in dealing with our allies in reference to the war in Korea. Now, a great many of our viewers are a little bit disillusioned about some of our allies and the amount of cooperation that they've given us. From your experience, sir, do you believe that it's possible for us to get a higher degree of cooperation from our allies? Mr. Hewley, I have no doubt in my own mind that we can and that we will get a higher degree of cooperation from our allies. We've got a lot to build on. For instance, in Turkey, I know from first-hand experience or I just felt that Turkey would fight to the last man in case she were invaded or in case the West was invaded. It's up to the United States of America. The challenge is ours. We will not fail, I believe, with the proper and firm leadership that we can and will give, and our allies will come along and we will defeat the communists. Well, thank you, sir, for these very firm expressions of yours this evening. Thank you. The opinions you've heard our speakers express tonight have been entirely their own. The editorial board for this edition of the Laun Jean Chronoscope was Mr. William Bradford Hewley and Dr. William Peterson. Our distinguished guest was the Honorable Laurie C. Baffle, United States Congressman from Alabama. The reputation of Laun Jean watches for greater accuracy has brought many requests over the years for specialized Laun Jean watches for scientific purposes, for navigation, aviation, astronomy, exploration, sports science, and so on. Now here are some of these Laun Jean technical watches. Many are of complicated design. Each was designed by Laun Jean engineers made in the Laun Jean factory. The exceptional skill, experience, and inventiveness, so often demonstrated by Laun Jean watchmakers, serves to explain why, among the world's finest watches, Laun Jean alone has won ten World's Fair Grand Prizes, twenty-eight gold medals, and so many honors for accuracy. Now this same skill, experience, and inventiveness, is evident in every Laun Jean watch now being shown by your authorized jeweler agency. These Laun Jean watches have more than commanding beauty. They represent close to ultimate perfection in watch manufacture. So whatever the gift occasion, whether for the bride and groom to celebrate a happy anniversary or for a birthday or graduation, throughout the world no other name on a watch means so much as Laun Jean. The world's most honored watch, the world's most honored gift, is the premier product of the Laun Jean Witner watch company, since 1866, maker of watches of the highest character. We invite you to join us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening at this same time for the Laun Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour, broadcast on behalf of Laun Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Witner, distinguished companion to the world's honored Laun Jean.

with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty high of silver, the lone ranger. With his faithful Indian companion tunnel, the daring and resourceful mask rider of the plains led the fight for law and order. In the early western United States, nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. We turn with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great war silver. The lone ranger rides again. Nephew of the lone ranger was a passenger on the stage to take us. There were two other passengers in the coach, an elderly man and a girl about 12. They had written in silence for some time, and Dan had been somewhat embarrassed by the way the girl continually seemed to stare at him. Finally, the old man spoke. Sure, rough travel on these stages, isn't it, son? Yes, it is. You live in the West? Yes, sir. I reckon I ought to introduce myself. I'm Jed Anson. Most folks call me Gramps. This is my granddaughter Alice. I'm glad to know you. I'm Dan Reed. Dan's a nice name. I like your voice. My voice? You didn't notice, I reckon, but Alice, well, she can't see. Dolly, I'm sorry. I don't mind, Dan. I was born without sight. Oh. Gramps reads to me a lot, and tells me what he sees. Yep, and Alice is just as excited about coming out to this new country as you'd be, Dan. Oh, then this is your first trip, West, Mr. Anson. That's right. We've come from Kansas City. Gonna live with a nephew of mine who has a ranch out near Pecos. I see. I mean, I understand. Ever hear of Burt Dennis of the Circle D Ranch? No, sir. Well, he's my nephew and Alice's cousin. Her parents are both gone. So is my wife. So he invited Alice and me to come live with him and his wife, Amy. I understand Burt has a fine place. Oh, I know. I'm gonna like living on a ranch. You like your cousin, Burt, too. Of course, I've never met his wife. West is a fine place to live. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Too bad, Alice. You can't see how handsome Dan is. Gramps, you shouldn't say that in front of Dan. That's all right, Alice. I think you're very pretty. By Jiminy Dan, you sure know just what to say, you girl. Why, when I was your age, I was tongue-tied when it came to making nice speeches. Dan, I hope you'll come to the ranch and see us sometime. Will you? I'll be glad to, Alice. Do you live near Pecos? I'm staying there there awhile with friends. This ranch is only a mile from Pecos. We'll soon be there. And I reckon Burt will be there to meet us. Now, we'll be expecting you to visit us at the ranch within the next few days, Dan. So don't forget. Meantime, Burt Dennis and his wife Amy, a thin-feature, domineering, and sharp-tongued woman, were driving toward Pecos on a buckboard to meet the stage. Burt, I still can't get over the fact that you invited your uncle and his granddaughter to come to live with us. The idea of waiting till yesterday didn't even tell me about it. Now, Amy, take it easy. We have plenty of room for them. Plenty of cash too. I knew if I said anything, you'd better ask them to come you to put your foot down about it. Burt Dennis, you forget I'm your wife and I have a right to my say. Yeah, right or not, you've always said it. How is that so? Well, you just listen to me. I spent half my time listening to you. You just get your way. This is one time I'm having mine, understand? I just don't know how I happened to marry you, Burt Dennis. It didn't just happen. You planned it for months. Then you roped and hog-tied me before I knew what was going on. That's it. Try to change the subject. Well, I'll tell you this much. That uncle of yours and the girl are going to earn their keep at the Circle D. We'll talk about that when they get there. Now, stop yapping. I want to get to town in time to meet the stage. Get up there. Come on. Get up there. Later, the stage arrived in Pekas and pulled to a stop before a group of curious uncles. Dan Reed was the first one off and found Tonneau waiting to meet him. Hello, Tonneau. Hello, Dan. Me bring Victor, him over at Hitchrack. We go now, ride the camp. Wait a minute, Tonneau. I want to make sure someone has come to meet two friends of mine. Dan and Tonneau stood watching as Jed Anson, the lighted from the coach, then turned to help Alice. All right, honey. Careful now. It's all right, I have you. Hello, Uncle Jed. I'm glad to see you. Hello, Alice. Oh, you're a welcome sight after that long ride. Alice and I are both about to tuck her down. Oh, I feel fine, Cousin Birdie. I'm so glad we've come to live with you. You're not very smart for a youngster. Oh, this is my wife, Amy. It's a pleasure, ma'am. How do you do? Frankly, Bert, I expected your uncle would be a younger man than he is. Dan sakes with an old man and a child. Be quiet, Amy. Where's your manners? Manners. I suppose you expect me to wait on that young one like your uncle was doing, helping her off the stage like he did. Amy, I reckon I forgot to tell you. Alice can't see. Great day. An old man and a blind youngster. If you think I'm going to spend my time looking after them at the ranch, you're mistaken. Sorry, Cousin Birdie. I thought... It's all right, Alice. Your cousin Amy doesn't realize what she's saying. Oh, don't ask. Well, let me tell you, Bert Dennis, I don't... You tell me when we get home. Come on, Uncle Jed. I'll take you and Alice to the buttboard, and I'll come back and get your luggage. Let's go. I'm sure it isn't going to be long before both of you realize you'd be much better off back in Kansas City. As I told Bert... Oh, I told you, Mr. Hans. In Alice, I'm going to have a very easy going at the Circle Spread Tunnel. That's right. It's plenty bad for a young girl like her not able to see. Yes, but she's used to it. She's mighty nice, Tunnel. We became friends on the stage. Ah. We go get horses down, blown range away from the camps. Tutto and Dan Reed soon arrived at the Lone Ranger's camp. The boy told his uncle about the old man and little blind girl on the stage and told how they were received by any Dennis when the stage arrived. When Dan had finished, the Lone Ranger remarked, I'm sorry they're running to a situation like that, Dan. It isn't going to be pleasant for them at the Circle D. I promise to go see them but the way things are... I'm sure they'd like to have you visit them. Perhaps in a day or so, Mrs. Dennis's attitude will have changed. Well, it'd take plenty to change woman with sharp tongue. Oh, I suppose so. Dan and Tutto and I'll be busy searching the hills for some trace of Matt Strong and his gunman. You'll have plenty of time to visit your new friends while we're searching. That's right. I'll ride over to the Circle D spread tomorrow. The following day, while the Lone Ranger and Tutto went into the hills in search of the outlaw Matt Strong and his followers, Dan Reed rode to the Circle D ranch. Amy begrudgingly allowed him to visit Gramps and Alice on the ranch house, Veranda. Two days later, he again visited the ranch. Alice was alone on the Veranda when he stopped. Oh, Victor! Oh, steady place. Hello, Alice. Oh, Dan. Oh, I'm so glad you've come back. Sit down and talk to me. Cousin Amy went to town and Gramps is resting. How are you getting along now, Alice? Oh, I like it here and Cousin Bird is awful nice. Cousin Amy... Well, she doesn't want us here. Maybe she'll change. I don't think so. I couldn't sleep last night and I could have talked to Cousin Bird. She was talking real mean about it and she watched us to leave. Well, Bird, now that those two relatives of yours are you sleeping, there's something I want to say. Well said. Get it over with, Amy. It's all right for you to be so big-hearted and all that, but don't forget, I'm your wife and I have to be considerate. Well, that's one thing you never do let me forget, Amy. After considering you, I don't see how they bother any. Plenty of room here and they keep out of your way as much as possible. I'm not going to play nursemaid to an old man and a child who can't help herself. As I see it, he'd be better off in an old folks home and she'd be better off in an institution. Well, Pete said, Amy, what's come over you? Now that we're prospering, you're turning mean as all get out. I've worked my fingers to the bone to make us prosper, Burt Dennis, and I don't aim to see this ranch turned into a home for your helpless relatives. Oh, be reasonable, Amy. After all, I have something to say around here. I'm having to say about this matter, Burt. Now, when I go to town for the payroll tomorrow, I'm going to inquire about places they might go to stay and that's that. As far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed right here and now. I told Gramps about it this morning. He said not to worry that if he'd see to it, we aren't sent to home. But I like it here, Dan. I really don't want to leave. Oh, golly. Maybe Mrs. Dennis will forget about it in a few days, Alice. I don't see how she can help locking you. Thanks, Dan. You're awful nice to me. I'll come back tomorrow and find out how things are. Say hello to Gramps for me. All right. Goodbye, Dan. Goodbye. In town, Amy Dennis left the bank carrying a small black satchel and drove away in the buckboard. A few minutes later, a man entered the cafe and sat down at a table where a friend was waiting. I ordered the supplies at the store. We'll pick them up on the way from town, Sam. I hope you got enough. The matter is planning on leaving this territory as soon as we manage to get some cash. I think I know where we can get that cash. Huh? Where? That woman who owns a Circle D ranch just left the bank carrying a small satchel. Well, she came into the store first. I heard her tell the storekeeper to put some stuff in the back of the buckboard. That she had to go to the bank to get the ranch payroll at the bank. Maybe she's going right back to pay the hands. She said tomorrow's payday and it came around too fast to suit her. She complained that her husband was going to be away overnight to look at some Cadley wants to buy. So she'd have to make up the payroll herself. Maybe if we hurry, we could take a shortcut and then set the buckboard on the trail. Then we could grab the payroll if she's coming. Now, wait a minute. That isn't going to work. There's three of the cowhands riding with it. I reckon we'd better wait till tonight then. Let's go tell Matt and see what he has to say. A short time later in a hideout shack hidden in a hollow, Dave and Sam were telling the outlaw Matt Strong about the Circle D payroll. So we figured it'd be easy to get it tonight, man. Yeah, that's a good idea, Dave. We'll all go in case somebody's there with the woman. I understand they have a lot of cowhands to pay off. That means a payroll. It'll be a big one. We'll plan to get there about midnight as the men in the bunkhouse will be sleeping. We'll grab that cash, then hit the trail for the New Mexico at dawn. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments to continue. That night the moon was bright and the Lone Ranger and Toto decided to spend a few hours searching for the outlaw's hideout. You'll be safe here in camp, Dan. Toto will not be gone more than two or three hours. I'll be all right. I'm tired, so I'll turn in early and get some sleep. That's a good idea. Tomorrow, Dan, we'll try to think of some way to help your two friends, Gramps and Alice. I wish there were some way to help them. Perhaps they'll work out all right. Let's go, Toto. Easy, Toto. Easy, Toto. I want to. Let's go. At the Circle D ranch house, Gramps and Alice were in the Lone Ranger and Gramps and Alice were in their rooms. Amy Dan has sat at her desk coughing out the payroll. Suddenly, the door opened. Don't walk for him. What are you men doing here? We came to get that cash you have there. Stay at the door, Dave. You, Sam. Man, pick up the cash. All right. Looks like we strug it rich, man. He'll let that money alone. Shut it up. Hold your gun on us, Sam. Well, I turn to the chair. Sure. You aren't going to tie me up. Hey, you wild cat. Still it will cross you. You wouldn't dare. Well, don't tempt me. This court will hold you. You dirty low-down crooks. I take three of you to pick on a poor defenseless woman. You're just no good scum, that's what. Nobody calls mad strong names like that and gets away with it woman and no woman. I'll take you right down and I'll settle with you for the name calling. No. Don't put that filthy bandana in my mouth. Help. Hey, hey, don't keep it quiet. What are you going to do, man? I'm going for the bullet in his yap and female. What's going on here? Say you let her alone. I'll fix you. Are you having that old cute mask? Gramps grabbed mask gun arm and struggled a moment after Sam hit the old man with a gun dot and sent him slumping to the floor. That'll stop you, old man. Good work, Sam. Now I'll carry the lamp to the door and toss it back in the corners we leave. A place of open flames and those two fools with it. All right, here goes. Come on. The flames from the lamp were weakly flickering up the walls in the far corner when Alice opened the door to a room and came out. The youngster moved toward the sounds that Amy made through the gag until her reaching hands touched the helpless woman. Because of Amy, I know it's you. There's something tied over your mouth. I'll get it off. Here. Quickly, child. I'm tied and the fire started over in the corner. Now untie me, hurry. Alice fumbled with the court until finally Amy's hands were free. She quickly untied her own feet then got up from the chair. Gramps, is that you? Yes, Alice is hurt. The flames are spreading. Now hang on to my skirt while I try to drag them to the door. All right. Amy quickly lifted Gramps under the arms and with Alice holding on to her skirt for guidance. The woman dragged the old men to the front door. Now go out quickly, child. All right. Now you stand here near your grandfather. I'll go ring the farm bell to awaken the hands. Amy aroused the hands and while most of them gave their attention to fighting the fire, several of them started out to trail the crooks. Meanwhile, the lone ranger and turtle rode along the trail not far from the ranch. They had heard the alarm bell and knowing it meant trouble. They were heading for the certainty to help but as they rounded the bend, they saw the group of cowhands coming toward them in the bright moonlight. Amy, stop and reach. We have it coming. Hold on, hold on. You refused to turn and come back this way. You'll be hanged for Robin, Mrs. Dennis and leaving her to die in a fire. You've made a mistake. You're the one who made the mistake, Missy. Mrs. Dennis said one arm was match strong. Yeah, and he had two men with him. We're searching for match strong in these men. We heard the fire alarm and we're coming to help. That's right. Stop lying. I figure you're match strong behind that mask. We'll soon find out, too. First, I'll take your guns. While the four others set with drawn guns, their spokesman rode first along to the lone ranger to take the mask man's guns. As he reached over, the lone ranger suddenly dropped his hands in a lightning move with one he knocked aside the cowhands gunarm with the other he drew and placed his gun at the man's side. Oh, tell the others to drop their guns. Or you might take a bullet. Yeah, hold on. Man, he's got the drop over. Better throw down your guns. Now yours. Drop it. Daddy. Good. Head in among the trees off to the side, Tuttle. Come on, fill this. Come up, cowhands. He smacked the other guns. By the time the cowhits had retrieved their guns, the mask man and Indian had disappeared among the trees on opposite sides of the trail. That dog only had mask man trickers. Oh, he was trying to trail them now. They made it tough by leaving two sets of tracks before them. Well, I mean, we must have the ranch house fire under control by now. We'll go back, get more men, then come back and pick up both trails. Let's go. Get up. Cringtor and Tuttle had separated and circled around through the woods. A short time later, they met some distance further along the trail. Oh, he's got a big fella. I thought I'd find you waiting, Tuttle. It's easy to get way through shadows while them dismount, pick up guns. They were following the trail of much straw along here. Me see marks of three horses and go that way. This may be the break we needed. We'll follow those hoof marks. Come on, Tuttle. The three crooks had taken every known method to cover their tracks. Finally, they arrived at the hideout in the hollow and entered the tracks. They got it, boys. Sit down and we'll divvy the cash. Before you start dividing the cash, let's have some coffee and some grub. I'll go get some. Oh, sure. Go ahead, Dave. That cash will seize to New Mexico and last till we pull another robbery. I hope the next one's as easy as that one. With their knowledge and experience at trailing, the lone ranger and Tuttle managed to follow the outlaws. Though their progress had been slowed, they finally reached the edge of the hollow and pulled rain in the shadows. Good, good, good. Easy, Tuttle. That shack over there must be the hideout. We'll carefully approach on foot. There's a gun ready, Tuttle. All right, come on. Inside the shack, Matt and his two gunmen had just finished the coffee and food Dave had prepared. You make a good cook, Dave. Yeah, thanks, man. Now that we've eaten, let's get on with dividing the cash. Oh, sure. Yeah, I'll count it all first, then divide it. Please, Tuttle. Hold on. Stop those guns. Someone shot to the window, too. I didn't come here alone. You all right, Kimusabi? Yes, Tuttle. That must be the stolen cash from the Circle D ranch. I'll take it. Now, we've received. Don't touch that cash. Reach your needs. I'll keep your hands clear. You left a clear trail for us, your father. Please, we got here just in time to see you trying to double-cross your path. I told you before you were making a mistake. Those are the crooks who are, Mrs. Dennis. I'm sure the big fellow is Matt Strong. We've been hunting him for days. Oh, Matt Strong, all right. But don't let that mass hombre lie out of this. He and his agent friend are in it as much as we are. They wanted all the cash for themselves. That's all right. We'll take you all back to jail, Mr. This time when they say we'll get your guns and that mask you. You'll not have a chance to pull any treks. Me and all of you keep these crooks covered. I'll take the mass man's guns and pull off that mask. I warn you, you better not try. Hey, how's this coming? Be ready, men, just in case. What's going on here? Hey, chef, you got here just in time. That mass man and the agent got the drop on those other three. They were just about to make off of Mrs. Dennis' stolen cash. I'm glad you arrived, Sheriff. I think you were notified that Tom and I would come here to search for Matt Strong and his men. I did get word from the United States Marshal that a certain mass man in India would... Hey, you must be the one all right. He mentioned an Indian called Tonto and said to you, silver bullets. I looked that over. That's silver all right. Glad to meet both of you. Men, I'll vouch for these two. One of the ranch hands came to tell me what happened. I picked up your trail hoping to join you in the search. Looks like the mass man in India saved all of us a lot of trouble. Thanks, Sheriff. Yeah, but, chef, Matt Strong said... Never mind what Matt Strong said. We'll take those crooks back with us and let Mrs. Dennis identify. Tonto, I'll ride along with you, Sheriff. Later, the lone ranger and Tonto arrived at the certainty ranch with the sheriff. Quick work on the part of the ranch hands had confined the fire to the living room. Amy Dennis was in the large kitchen with Alice and Gramps when the three crooks were brought in for identification. Those are the three crooks, all right, Sheriff? Yep. I... I recognize them, too. Good. I brought back your cash. You can thank this mass man in India for catching them and getting it back. Here it is. Thanks. But this mass man, who is he? He and the Indian are friends, so don't worry. Did you say there are mass men in India here? That's right. Oh. You must be Alice. Yes, I am. Dan was worried about you. He said you and your grandfather were having trouble. Mr. I reckon I know what you mean. But seeing as how Gramps was willing to fight to save me and that Alice saved us both, well, their troubles are over if they're willing to forgive and forget. Cousin Amy says we'll stay here always. That's right, my dear. I'm glad to hear it. I'll tell them. Cousin Amy said she's going to take me to Austin. To a famous doctor there. And that maybe he'll be able to make me see. I'm taking whack on the head anytime to have that come about, honey. I reckon nobody expected to have me change so much. But I've been a fool and a nag without realizing it. Or it isn't going to know me when he comes home from selling those cattle. I'm sure, Mrs. Dennis, he'll be very happy. I'll tell Dan to come to visit you, Alice. Oh, thank you. I'll tell him I'll get back to our camp now. We'll take those three crooks to jail. Thank you for what you did, Mr. We're glad we could help, Sheriff. Adios, Alice. Adios, everybody. Goodbye! Goodbye! Nope, I still would like to know who that tall, handsome, mass boundary is, Sheriff. I'm sure I know, Cousin Amy. And I hope someday I'll be able to see him and Dan. Little girl, to my way of thinking it'll be a mighty proud moment in your life when you can see the Lone Ranger. This is a feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated created by George W. Trenville, produced by Trenville Campbell Mule Incorporated, directed by Charles D. Livingston, and edited by Fran Stryker. The part of the Lone Ranger is played by Brace Beamer.

Don't ask me for the secret family recipe, you know, I saw the face of god See this is what I thought this fucking sub run It was going to be shit like this where it's just like, okay, this is kind of fucking weird and disturbing I didn't think it was going to be about people ripping Other people's faces off They don't know that I can break dance When you wake to get a snack late at night and as you rummage to the fridge all the lights You switch on on the way to the kitchen we get to turn off one by one. Oh, there's a face back there. I don't like that the internet is uh It's a place that we never let should have let become a real thing You know, well, I scrolled through a lot of the memes there and let me tell you they got very Distressing to the point where I Don't want to be on the subreddit anymore. It's fucking weird. Some of these are kind of funny, but mostly just ah All right guys. Well, I'm going to end this distressing video here. I hope you didn't get Too distressed, but hey, at least we saw some funny bob parmings. Am I right? What a hunk. What a Daddy so thank you so much for watching Hope you enjoyed if you did make sure to slap that like button right in the face And I will see you guys in the next video. Love you all stay cranky. Bye

Yes, you should buy night vision. Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and today we're gonna talk about why you should buy night vision. I'm not gonna stand here and hold this the whole time because that's just kinda awkward, but night vision, you should get some. Let's talk about why. So this video isn't necessarily a review of a certain night vision product or company or anything like that, but rather it's here to convince you that you should buy night vision. I've been weaning to make this video for a while and so it just kind of fits well within this Minuteman series that we're doing right now. And why you, as just an everyday Schmo, should have night vision. If I could go back and do it all again and kinda start my gun journey from the beginning, I would buy a Glock 19, I'd buy a rifle, I'd buy some supporting equipment, you know, maybe like a chest rig or a battle rattle, like we've talked about in previous videos, maybe some plates, and then I would buy night vision. I wouldn't buy second rifles, I wouldn't buy this menagerie of pistols, I wouldn't buy all the other stuff I have. Instead, I would have saved that money properly and purchased night vision. We're just talking about gear. You should take a bunch of classes in there because you gotta learn what you're doing. So when it comes to the gear train and what you're buying when, I would bump night vision severely up on that list. Before you get a second rifle, before you get all this other stuff, maybe you get a cam before, whatever, but it's a lot sooner of a purchase, in my opinion, if I could go back and do it again, then I had thought of before. Before I got night vision, I always thought, you know, I mean, is it really needed and what are you really gonna do with it? And ah, but then you get it and then things change. So reasons you should buy night vision. Number one, and the least effectual reason, it's just cool. I mean, it's really cool. If you ever get to go out in a field at night or something and you get to look up at the stars with night vision, you will be sold, I promise. Just on that alone, just on the cool factor of being able to walk around in rural environments and like look at the stars and see stuff like it's high noon makes a big, big difference. It's just really cool. The second reason of course is that gives you a significant tactical advantage. Remember here, we're not talking about just defending your house or just walking down the street and carrying a pistol on you for self-defense or stuff like that. We are talking about you as an everyday American having the ability drive and initiative to embrace your martial American heritage and what gear you should choose to help you accomplish that mission, right? Like we talked about earlier, mission drives the gear train. And so if that's our mission is to be a functional American minute man who's embracing our martial heritage and is ready for a red dawn to happen, you should buy night vision because it gives you a significant tactical advantage. I mean, if you're at night and you have nods and a suppressor, you're basically a ghost. If you have night vision and a suppressor and you're fighting at night, that's gonna give you a significant tactical advantage. You're gonna be very hard to locate because it's dark out so unless you have night vision and that evens the playing field, right? It's hard to visually locate you where you are and then that suppressor is going to reduce your flash signature significantly and it's also gonna reduce the sound as far as where is it coming from? Makes it harder to locate. Even without suppressors, people who've been shot at will tell you, trying to figure out where shots are coming from is very difficult. With suppressors, of course, that gets much more difficult. So I say all that to say that we, collectively as light infantry oriented people should own the night. That's how it works. There have been some very good night fighters in history, the Japanese during World War II were particularly known for their ferocious night fighting. So we want to be good night fighters. We want to harness that power well, especially because again, we don't have a lot of other supporting equipment here. We're just us and some other Americans who wanna embrace our heritage. So we need to take every tactical advantage we can and fighting at night is one of those things that you can twist to your advantage. And when you have night vision that someone else doesn't, that's a huge advantage and if they have night vision and you don't, you're at a severe disadvantage. So in order to level the playing field, slash give yourself a huge bump up in the advantage section, you should own night vision. Now I realize night vision is pretty expensive, right? Because the night vision device itself is around, you know, $2,700, $3,000. And then it goes up from there. And then you really need to buy a solid mount. This mount set up here, I think cost me $700. So it's not cheap, but let me tell you what, if you're gonna hang a 3,000-ish piece of gear off your helmet, you should invest in a mount, okay? Because what you don't wanna have happen is that comes off the mount and takes a fall from head to height and slams on concrete. Ask me how I learned that lesson. The other thing, of course, then, you would have to purchase in order to fully harness the night vision power some kind of de-ball or some kind of laser for your rifle, right? Some kind of infrared laser so that you can see at night and point your rifle at night. Now you can pass, it's called passive aiming, meaning just looking through your optic with your nods on. And that works, it's just harder to do. A laser is really, really the way to go. So, you know, all in, you're probably looking at $5,000, right? Give or take to get all into night vision. And I know that doesn't include the helmet, right? Which helmet's gonna cost you 500, 600 bucks. We'll cover that in a later video. But all in, I understand that it's expensive, but let me tell you right now, it's worth it. I would tell you to buy night vision. Forget all the other stuff you think you need. Forget having a menagerie of weapons and a safe that opens up like in the movies with the foam and the lighting and like 500 rifles. You can only carry one rifle at a time anyway, okay? Invest in night vision. You'll thank me later. What really convinced me to take the dive, finally, is I read Prairie Fire by, oh, dang it. I don't remember the author's name right now. I have a review of that book on this channel sitting on my shelf, but he talked in there about, again, if you don't have night vision, it makes it very difficult to fight those who do have it, so you really need to have it. So, I would just like to pass that knowledge on to you. If you're gonna be an American who embraces their martial American heritage, get night vision. And then of course, once you get that night vision, you can go take a night vision class. I have yet to do that, to be fully honest with you. It's on my docket to do in 2022 here, so I will be fighting a course, and maybe I'll see you there. Again, remember the context in which this is all happening, right? We're just talking about you being an everyday guy, working with other everyday guys to embrace your martial American heritage. And if Red Dawn happens, and you have to pick up your equipment and fight, one of the things that's gonna give you a significant advantage is being able to effectively fight at night. We want to fight at night. Fighting at night is a long human tradition, right? And of course, the further back in time, the scarier night fighting gets because the less ways you have to conquer the dark. And today we have lots of good ways to conquer the dark, and night vision is one of the best ways to do that. Now you could say, hey Dylan, no problem, I got a flashlight on my gun, problem solved. And I would say, I have a flashlight on all my serious fighting guns, right? There's a light. That's a mandatory piece of equipment to me on fighting guns. However, when we're talking about doing longer range movements outside in larger rural areas at night, flashlights just don't have the same weight anymore. Instead, they can kind of, depending, become a liability. Because if you have an ND with that light, now you just gave away your whole position to anybody within a mile or two that saw it, right? So being able to sneak through the dark without use of visible light is a very big tactical advantage. It allows you not to just do the shooty shoots and that kind of thing, but it allows you to move overnight, right? You can patrol during night much more effectively. Can you patrol during night without nods? Yes, you can, absolutely. However, with nods, it's gonna be more fun and more effective and really allow you to sneak through the dark better using non-visible light methods, right? Like NVGs and IR light and stuff like that. So again, because of that tactical advantage, I think it's worth the investment. I think it's such a gross tactical advantage that it's worth the money. Again, it gets dark every day, right? And depending on where you live in this northern hemisphere, you're looking at anywhere from eight to 16 hours of darkness a day, depending on the time of year. So embracing that and being able to have capabilities that are gonna give you significant advantage to be able to fight and move during night is a huge, huge advantage. Again, I understand it's a huge cost investment and a lot of people shy away from it just for that reason. But if you want to embrace the full Marshall American heritage that you've been given, I think this is something worth looking into. Hope that's helpful. Do brave deeds and endure.

Clod Barrera, IBM | IBM Edge 2013 - Highlights
|
Clod Barrera, IBM, at IBM Edge 2013 with John Furrier and Dave Vellante
In their onogoing coverage of IBM Edge 2013, John Furrier and Dave Vellante and John Furrier spoke with IBM Chief Technical Strategist, Storage, Clod Barrera. The three discussed flash, metadata (particularly in light of NSA concerns), and what Barrera believes is an important tech trend.
Barrera explains that when it comes to future applications of Flash, enterprise technologists are not the decision makers. Rather, consumer electronics technologists (the folks behind tablets and smartphones, for example) that decide the relevance of Flash.
Turning to topical news, Furrier asks for Barrera's thoughts on meta data and policy based data management in light of the NSA revelations. Barrera notes that it is good and exciting that people are waking up to the existence of metadata. He also offers a basic overview of metadata and the fuzzy areas that make it unclear and to what extent privacy is violated through government data gathering. Barrera uses the metaphor of football game coverage. If a large sporting organization hosts football games every Sunday, it can collect video of every game, every play, from every camera angle. But, what is, perhaps more useful than the coverage itself, is the aiblity to annotate it to describe what happened with every blitz and tackle, for example. These annotations of video, constitute data about data, or metadata. And, in some instance, Barrera notes, "metadata can be significantly bigger in size than actual data."
Policy concerning access to citizen data can be a complicated issue. In some instances, one aspect of our individual data may be private, while another may be less private. For example, the content of our phone conversations should be private, but data of who we call is more open as phone companies have access to this information.
Discussing the importance of software defined technology, Barrera explains, "I see homogeneous behavior across all my storage, I'm not constrained by the physicality of what the storage can do." He suggests the next step is to create more bandwidth as well as provision capacity and performance through an API call.
Furrier concludes by asking Barrera what is "the one tech" he's focusing ont that everyone should be looking towards. Barrera cites ObjectStore as simple, easy to program and good for immediate demand as in when you want something on your phone, it can reach in and cover it quickly.

So we're at SiliconANGLE.com, reference point for tech innovation. This is theCUBE, our flagship program, we go out to the events and extract the synth of the noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm joined with my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante of Wikibon.org. Claude Barrera is here. He is the Chief Technical Strategist and Distinguished Engineer, IBM Storage Group. Where should we even start? Metadata. You have metadata, you have flash, you have metadata, we have software to design, we get open source, all the confluence of these megatrends going on. It feels like we've never seen this much before, maybe it just feels that way because it's new, but I don't know, what do you think? Well, it's definitely new, and let's sort of take that stack in order. We haven't seen this much innovation since Sands were new. And at that time, everybody rethought everything and we sort of went through how we were raised, built, and how are they connected, and how do people manage them, and what apps do you put on them. So we're going to go through all that again. Starting from the bottom, flash changes things. And just in time, because HDDs are really out of gas in terms of IOP performance. Chaplain yourself said, you know what, a lot of times you hear, oh, flash is going to give way to whatever, pick your persistent storage medium. And he said, I don't think so. I think it's going to be a hierarchy of semiconductor devices. Do you buy that, or do you think that one will win? It's possible, but we think one will win. And exactly which one in any particular year is kind of crystal ball stuff. We, the enterprise guys, don't make the decision. Decisions made by the consumer electronics people, the cell phone guys, the tablet guys, and our job in enterprise is to do technologies of aggregation. So we put the stuff together, make it not fail, make it maintainable, make it scale. Metadata was in the New York Times, the headline. Metadata, metadata, you know, this is now a mainstream term. People are now savvy to the fact that metadata is about information about information is out there, highlighted by the mainstream NSA story around Prism. And it's a big data story. So talk about metadata. Ambu said it's about understanding what you have, is metadata, metadata, and that the policy-based data management is going away. He believes, and it's going to be much more dynamic, much more intelligent. Can you comment from a technical perspective where we are in that journey of, the metadata has been around in storage for a while, but more importantly, as it becomes much more agile data, as it's more data processing going on at the edge of the network, whether it's Internet of Things, mobile devices, or just consumer data, policy-based data management, slow, static. Can you just talk about that and how you look at that? Well, so number one, it is good and exciting that people are waking up to the existence of metadata. It's an incredibly important technology and discipline. Metadata comes in lots of different sizes and shapes. And the answer to your question about how do we manage storage and what role does metadata play depends on what you're doing. So let's use a maybe less controversial example of how metadata might be used. If you're a large sporting organization that puts on football games every Sunday, you collect video of every game, every play from 20 camera angles. And so you've got mountains and mountains of video. But what's really useful is to have annotations that say in seven minutes and 20 seconds into the second quarter, so-and-so caught a pass thrown by so-and-so. And it went 25 yards. And here's the impact that it had on the game. And here's who the defender was and how he got beat. And that kind of stuff. Online gaming, too. Another first person went and took a shot. When they did, they traded currency. Gaming is a great example of Xbox announcing big things to me. So all these things where you create easily searchable information to layer on top of information that is not easily searchable. So all you had was video, finding the play where Guy X threw a pass to Guy Y is pretty hard. You need a human with eyes doing that. If you do annotation, and somebody has to do the annotation either automatically or a human, but once you've done the annotation, you now have data about data. And you can use that when it's time to go find the thing you want. But when you want to put the video clip on TV, you don't put up the metadata. You put up the video of the guy catching the pass. You're adding some twists. So let's start from the basics. Software Defined 101, what is it? Well, so you start with the idea that what you really want in terms of seeing storage is an abstraction. So we've talked about virtualization for a long time. You can think of that as step one in getting the underlying hardware. Abstracting the underlying hardware. So I see idealized behavior. I see homogeneous behavior across all my storage. I do snapshots in a single way. I can overprovision. I'm not constrained by the physicality of what the storage can do. OK, so that's progress. Now, the next step might be being able to dynamically create instances of that storage asset. So not only do I have this homogeneous abstraction, but if I decide right now, oh, I need a little more, or I need more bandwidth, I need to change the quality of service that it's providing, I can do that. So provision, capacity, and, say, performance, through an API call. That's right. Let's manage this through business policy. So rather than just being responsive to the demand, also have the notion of what really is the business asking for by rule. So yes, I want good response time, but this data can't move outside of my country. Or it has to be protected in some form of secure encrypted way when it moves outside of my data center. So it's not just responsive to immediate or perceived need, but here's the rules that you have to abide by within that response. And allowing full stacks, multi-vendor support, open standards, all those things, the tipping points of flash, and open collaborative. What's the one tech you're looking at that you're watching closely that everyone should be mindful for? Well, I'm not sure this is exactly what you had in mind. But the one tech that I'm watching because I think it's interesting, and I guess I think we don't really know all the places where it's going to be used, is Object Store. To me, the really interesting thing about Object Store is that they're simple. They're easy to program to, and they are likely to be the place that, say, mobile devices reach into to get whatever data the app on that mobile device knows it wants. Good for batch, a lot of batch. And real time. Good for immediate demand from, you know, you want something on your phone. There's a directory somewhere that knows where that object is. Go reach and get it. Pull it out. Excellent. Put get. Put get. OK. Simple, easy, and probably a lot of demand for it. Claude, thanks for coming on to theCube. We got wall-to-wall, non-stop, IBM events, Dave or Grave, all day long. We have a lot more to cover today. Day one of IBM Edge. And again, all day tomorrow. Stay here on SiliconANGLE.com. This is the Cube. We'll be right back with our next cast after this short break.

What's up boys want to use some mud action it's been a while since we've seen the main team and Randall Cunningham just came out the same quarterback that led me to my belt so I have to put him on the team. You guys want to watch me play live twitch.tv slash dub dot that link is below along with all my social media. Stay tuned because the Madden classic leaderboard is this weekend going to be playing tons of regs. I've been grinding tons of regs leaderboard and BallSpotWars2 is also this weekend. More updates on that coming soon so make sure you follow everywhere all the info you can get get ahold of this so let's take a look at this team it's been a while since I showed you my mud team let's take a look at it and we'll go over what I got now I have 50-50 Raiders if you guys aren't rocking a theme team you guys are sleeping right now get plus two speed to every single player that's on the Raiders or was on the Raiders so that's going to start with Darren Waller the best tight end in the game. I believe he's 97 speed now gotta have that 97 speed tight end is insane 6697 speed he's absolutely unguardable right now and then we got a Raiders O-line. O-line doesn't matter that much to me as long as they're not terrible they're pretty good. We have Jerry Rice in the slot we're going to rock Randy Moss and we're going to Marcel Ries is full back Alvin Kamara at running back I have Barry I have Bo I've used Kamara he's the best pass catching running back in the game he's going to catch some passes I don't use Henry Ruggs he's just there for Raiders along with Patterson and Cooper I have Terry McLaurin with Playmaker that's one of the abilities I use but I hide them right here so you know I don't take up a chem I can use the chem all Raiders I hide them and kick returner so that's my third wide receiver we're going to use Randall take a look at Randall this is this is the card I've been waiting for 96 speed that's that's tough man 99 throw power 98 throwing the pressure 99 deep accuracy I mean he's everything you want the ultimate weapon Randall cutting him so we'll pair him with Randy Moss Waller Terry McLaurin and Jerry Rice the other abilities I use like I said Playmaker but then I use deep out elite on Darren Waller as you see right deep out elite on Darren Waller and I use it on Randy Moss both of them will catch streaks both of them will catch deep corner routes for me so that's my last two AP we got six on Randall cutting him with Gunslinger and Hot Rod master and then one each on Waller and Randy Moss and four on the Playmaker with Terry McLaurin which I think is the best ability in the game so you guys should be using Playmaker if you're not defense who we run what six safe no five safe these three corners and three down linemen so I've been rocking a little three three five wide now so just really pretty much the meta defense will all comp met and has been three three five wide and we'll see both players in this game run it so uh at linebacker I rock who are rocking linebacker I use not Brian Dawkins I use Simmons I use Justin Reed and I use Derwin that new Derwin James that's who I use as my user the new Derwin James who I actually hide I believe here this is my new user the new Derwin I'm sure all you guys have this card 98 speed Derwin James insane card 6-2 change the direction agility everything Derwin James should build your team somewhere so those are my linebackers my two safety back is my dream pairing of safeties Brian Dawkins Sean Taylor I mean that's a safety dream right there I would say of the three put in put Ed Reed and that makes those are the three best safeties ever Sean Taylor Brian Dawkins Ed Reed for sure so and then corner I've been rocking I'm rocked Deion Rod Woodson and I just got this new Namdi Namdi I put him in the slot let him go to work I mean that's just insane for a Raiders card Raiders team team 99 literally this is a golden ticket card 6-3 99 across the board 99s across the board Namdi awesome wow great corner so I'm going to put him in a slot and I'm going to run one step and acrobat on him so I'm going to man him up to a lot of slot receivers and then I'm going to run acrobat on Deion I'm going to run acrobat on my user which is Derwin James and then I'm going to run Justin Reed who's a safety in the box he's going to have one step and acrobat that's five AP on that but my goal with that is to match him up on the tight ends I want to make sure he's always on the tight end so I can't get beat by Darren Waller I can't get beat by Finley whatever Titan is giving you trouble so I often have to flip him in the formation to make sure he's always going to be on the wide side always going to guard the tight end that's pretty much my goal so now I know that I have Namdi and I have Justin Reed those guys both have acrobat and one step man if you guys are running acrobat or at one step you should definitely have acrobat because if they have one step they're just going to guard them knock the ball away if they have one step and acrobat they want to dive and get those interceptions that's why I like running my one steps with acrobat it's better to have two or three one steps with acrobat than four one steps I think that's a super waste of cap the acrobat just makes them more powerful so I'm going to rock those those two guys are pretty much my lockdown guys Rod Woodson Dion Sanders they're not going to they're not going to lock people up but they're going to do a good job don't get done and we have Sean Taylor Brian Dawkins over the top I'm going to rush this game Lawrence Taylor and I use Ted Henders really love this card I don't know if you guys are using him but he's six seven let's take a look I can't wait for his ultimate legend I think he's one of the most underrated players in the game he's huge 93 speed and if you look the hidden thing about him finesse move power move all that good stuff right but you go down here to defense okay he's got 93 zone like this is an insane card it's really no weakness in Ted Hendricks also known as the stork so I use him the tackle I actually went and got Montez sweat to play the tackle because every the tackle is going to fight a little bit but that Montez sweat guy he's a little bit different because when he gets to the quarterback that 96 speed it's going to get it done so that's my team that's what I'm rocking with him but now I said if you guys don't have a theme team you're really slacking get together I want 50-50 Raiders get that super boost on the Raiders car there's plenty of teams you can do that a decent Washington the Niners is good again the Eagles is always good we're looking for that to card though need that on the Eagles but this game was against a club winner so not Gucci the Saints club winner so it's going to be a great game play attention it's the little things man it's bunch first bunch is 335 wide versus 335 wide it looks really similar but it comes down to who can execute better and who can come up with the big plays that's what makes Madden great obviously man you can try to run meta stuff you can try to run the same thing but if you don't have that it factor you don't make the right calls at the right time you're going to struggle so let's get into this game all right boy so like I said this is a club winner we got to be on our peas and queues now these guys with their names you don't really realize all right this is such a such a tool somebody tells me to chat I go into the game thinking this is a regular person but quickly learn okay this guy's kind of sweaty he's kind of tough as we go with that's why I use that playmaker it works for us man and zone make sure you guys get that on your field right here he tries to bring some pressure dump it off to that 97 speed Darren Waller super tough addition to the team there we go another dot Jerry Rice now not a lot of people are using Jerry Rice I still like this 6-2 route runner I think having that card there is really tough because you know he can jump over zones he can if you do a bad pass maybe hold Y as we throw underneath the Randy Moss right here on the out route touchdown get to the end zone 99 speed Randy Moss Raiders chem although I think Moss is 99 speed with just one chem now you don't need double chems to get Randy Moss to 99 speed so I don't know if there'll be a route running wide receiver that I'll put over Jerry Rice maybe Calvin not that he's a route runner but I might put him there or maybe oh it's another great card Justin Reed actually getting beat right there maybe Chad Johnson when he comes out but Jerry Rice is so solid for me as we see Namdi getting beat right here remember I told you Justin Reed and Namdi are my money man I need you guys to lock up I've spent a lot of AP on you guys right there I actually bumped into Justin Reed kind of a pick play rub them off of the route pause but now we say again Namdi getting what by this new Isaac Bruce now I was intrigued by Isaac Bruce but like I said that 98 speed Jerry Rice is good enough for me 6298 speed still gets it done with this Raiders chem but and once again there it is Namdi getting whooped by Jerry or Isaac Bruce he's got this new Isaac Bruce and he's killing he's killing Namdi right there Isaac Bruce kills Rod Woodson so mid game you know my plan as I showed you my team is that Namdi and Justin Reed are gonna lock up the tight end in the slot then I can zone everybody else out that was kind of my plan right now that plan did not go very well the first drive man so I might have to switch things up I might have to mix it around and right there he goes with a little bit of match coverage catches he's lacking on the corner route over there but once again we hit this flat route Randy Moss man when people put those own drops deep down the field make sure you're taking underneath stuff as we see Randy Moss right there picking up another huge play on that quick flat route man is so underrated because people really don't want to put their zones so far back for corner routes but you can hit them underneath and get some big yards right here um he gets the ball to have so I gotta get some points here preferably I don't want to give him the ball back he went down the field a little bit too easily for my liking so I'd like to make this last drive a half right here nothing doing gonna get rid of ball random cutting him the one thing I'll tell you I don't scramble that much this year is definitely a pocket passers year and if you're not used to scrambling it's gonna even watching this game back a couple times man I could have took off a lot more with the quarterback just really not used to it but we'll do it right here on this third and sixth Randall's slides and the only thing ugly about Randall is this number seven like he is number 12 always and forever for the Eagles number seven is Michael Vic once again Randy Moss dumping it off in the flat picking up a first down we stay in bounds keep that clock running which is okay when come out here and just run a base you know I'm I just don't want to ball back time is my friend we almost get an end zone Sean Taylor tackles me now 16 seconds so he gets the ball back we'll go second to one we'll run a full back that we don't get in but we get the first down one time out left we're gonna run again just try to run a quarterback sneak right here I've seen it work for a couple people but never works for me right our quarterback sneeze never worked now this is where I assess the game man if I score a touchdown here that gives me a huge command in this game if I don't score now because I have no time out so you could try to go past I pretty much put aggressive aggressive on I say you know what if I score a touchdown right here I love my chances to win I feel that I might my risk reward right here if I don't score he gets the ball back you know I'll ultimately have the ball at worst case in order to try to tie I just think getting a touchdown here against a good player is so enormous and we run the ball right there and get into end zone with that aggressive aggressive had I got a holding penalty I would have took my three but we did it the old line held up and we scored an end zone right there that's what I mean about making the calls you know I wanted seven there I didn't want to go 10 to seven and a half time kick him the ball off and he might go 14 to 10 I risked it right there and I thought it was worth it to get that touchdown right there to end the half nothing doing so I'm in a great spot because even with a four minute play clock man as easy as he played offense worst case scenarios I get a money drive tied up so we're kicking off second half just gotta make him work a little bit like I said it looked like he's gonna score a touchdown pretty much just gotta make him work to the point where it nom to get beat again to the point where I can't you know I can get the last drive of the game because that touchdown and I got allowed me to do that dumps it off right here to Barry Sanders might I might start running Barry Sanders and running back he's pretty tough isn't he boys and goes corner out here Isaac Bruce doesn't get his feet and though a little bit early or a little bit late with the pass get him to a second and 10 we're playing a little bit better here playing a little bit of defense nobody open he rolls out nothing going to throw the ball away with that the shine Watson who is the same archetype as Randall Cunningham just a little bit worse tries to go up top right here Sean Taylor gets over to keep them to safety Sean Taylor Brian Dawkins get him to a fourth and 10 right here and we send everybody turn the ball over just like that so next play after the turn run go up top we think Randy Moss has a step but your mall Adams comes back and gets the interception so we turn it right back I went for everything right there I went for the win I went for the game I went up top did not work out for me Randy Moss gets the ball taken by Jamal Adams so we're right back where we started we're still up seven feeling great feeling good he tries to go over the middle don't play with Dion that guy's still the best corner in the game because you guys see how Namdi's out here getting done not very great dumps the ball off over here because I needed two zones to help Namdi on Isaac Bruce that I left the tight end open there here he shows up top Isaac Bruce fries me right there he's inside scoring range right here inside the 30 next play again he's gonna go with that same flood play probably one of the best probably the best play in the game is flood out a bunch this year I mean it's really tough to guard everything on it especially if you add a little playmaker like he does right there to tie reek hill he's getting the scoring zone and right here he hits wall over the middle touchdown good good dot tied the game up so this is where I wanted to be right we got the game at our hands four minutes and 14 seconds left in the game that's where we're at we can run this all week and we're gonna run right here just to get to the get to the two minute or get to the fourth quarter that's why we call it run right there get it done boom so now we're in the fourth quarter looked like I had the corner right there I didn't like it too much though I didn't man covers this pretty good on that tight end corner route we're gonna go back to the same play here we're gonna hit this crossing route over the middle but overthrown Jerry Rice I don't know if that was the game if it was Randall if it was Jerry third and ten big play right here we're going back to that corner route Darren Waller catches buddy gets out of bounds so that's going to extend the game right now I want the game to go by fast really fast I don't want him to get the ball again so we run right there get hit stick but we run some clock off we're able to dump it off underneath Terry McLaurin that's my guy that's my playmaker first thing I guess four yards on that no big deal go up top to the corner route right here smoke him Jerry Rice inside the 15 yard line let's run some clock here next play we're gonna drop back find Darren Waller back at the end zone Raiders can touch down we take the lead 21 to 14 um feels good but we still have two minutes and 36 seconds left can we get off the field can we make some plays on defense so far we had got to that one fourth down where we sent the crib might have to mix up that pressure a little bit more right here we send five or at least four it gets blocked up oh almost crushed Tyreek Hill once I'd be trying to get too many hit sticks trying to go crazy uh right here first and ten bro we're around the two minute warning he dumps it off and we're going to get to the two minute warning right here he has two timeouts man the guy get the ball back he needs a touchdown which isn't the easiest thing to do huge sack as we get him to a third down next play he's going to go ahead no huddle to the line already no he's a little flustered and he flips and I say you know what we're just going to send the dogs right here everybody on the left side is coming to the party we send six at and we lurk this left side and we get that acrobat pick Derwin Derwin verse the world get up go by ha no he doesn't but we're already in field goal range we're already up seven we're just going to air the ball out right here Alvin Kamara make him use some timeouts next play we're going to run another dive and we're going to get the first down and he's going to fall to the flow because he doesn't want no mo gg's in the chat man if you guys like the muck games the race game let me know what's your favorite man will watch in the comments below

We are not all the same. This shouldn't come to you as a surprise. An introvert does not wait for external sources before they get stimulated. Instead, they focus on internal feelings for their stimulation. You may think people are grouped into introverts and extroverts, but so many people are in between the two. Although introverted people are about 25 to 40% of our population, a lot of ideas have gotten wrong about them. If a person is said to be an introvert, it does not also mean that they are shy or they have social anxiety. Shyness is not the same as being introverted. An extrovert can be shy. Unlike shy people, introverted people look inward. They are more concerned about what's happening on their inside. They're focused on their feelings and moods, and they do not require stimulation from external sources just to be themselves. They introvert and extrovert personality traits were made famous by Carl Jung. Later, the theory became central parts of other prominent theories, including the Big Five theory of personality. The introversion-extroversion dimension is also one of the four areas identified by the Meyer-Brugge type indicator, MBTI. Many theories focused on personality have concluded that each one of us has some degree of both introversion and extroversion. Well, the truth is that people can often be introverted or extroverted. The introverts among us are usually introspective. They are reserved and quiet. Extroverts, on the other hand, have to relate with others before they can have the energy they need. Introverts hardly ever need social interactions to gain the energy they need to achieve their goal. Introverts are self-stimulated. Introverts have to step away from a large gathering so they can regain their energy. Contrarily, extroverts drive in such large gatherings. What causes being an introvert? The physiology of our bodies plays a crucial role in letting us know if we are introverted or extroverted. How a body reacts to the external sources or environments can show us our level of extroversion and introversion. Based on our physiology, the reticular activating system, RAS, which is a network of neurons located in the brainstem, regulates arousal levels, including weakfulness and transitions between sleeping and waking. The RAS influences and controls how much information you take in while you're awake. When you're faced by potential threats in the environment, the RAS will increase your arousal levels for you to be alert and ready to deal with danger. We all have basic set point in terms of arousal level. You can have a higher or lower set point. We all do. According to psychologists and Aisheng, our arousals are like a continuum and this arousal theory of extroversion proved the following points. 15% of people have a minimal set point, meaning they naturally have low arousal levels. 15% of people have a high set point, meaning they naturally tend to be more aroused. 70% of people lie somewhere in the middle of the continuum. Hence, Aisheng theory proves that introverts naturally have high levels of arousals. Because of these high levels of arousals, introverts prefer tasks and environments that would let them be overstimulated since they can generate their own stimulation themselves. As a result, introverts can observe much more information from the environment because they are actually alert due to the high levels of arousal. This is why they usually want to have time alone, to process the things they have learned. It's easy to assume you know an introvert from an extrovert but you may be wrong just by your simple observation. You may think introverts are the shy ones among us who do not like to socialize with people but would rather be home alone. Yet, introverts can have different types of characteristics. They aren't necessarily shy. Yes, most introverts would instead prefer to be home alone. Reading a book or having their time alone doing something else because they are socially reserved, however, some introverts love to interact with people. Most people whom you think are extroverts because they love socializing are actually introverts. In this video, I'll be sharing with you who an introvert is and how you can easily identify them next time you see one. 1. You enjoy solitude If you're an introvert, you'll catch yourself loving to have a good time by being alone to enjoy the things you love to do. You don't have a problem with cooking your meals but on a good day, you just would love to be alone. Cooking your own food, reading a book afterwards or just lying down to think, alone. You don't hate the people around you but truthfully, you don't miss them. You enjoy your time alone. You feel energized when you play your game alone and take a walk alone, read a book or just watch a TV program you enjoy alone. It doesn't mean you want to be alone always. Most introverted people spend time with friends and families and they enjoy it. What is most important to know is that introverts love to retreat to think and reflect so that they can recharge after expanding on such social interactions. You're an introvert if you enjoy having a good time alone. 2. People often describe you as quiet and may find it difficult to get to know you. As an introvert, people can confuse you as being a shy person but too often, introverts are just basically quiet, reserved and reflective. Some introverts may be shy but it doesn't mean being reserved denotes you are timid. Introverts would rather speak few words than speak too many needless words. They can suck at mindless gossips but introverts only want to talk sense when they do open their mouths to talk. If you're quiet, reserved and you continuously look inwards, you're an introvert. 3. Being around lots of people drains your energy. If you catch yourself continually needing to withdraw to be alone after spending time with a lot of people so that you can recharge, you're probably an introvert. If you often need an extended amount of hours alone after you have become exhausted, being with people it's a major characteristic of introversion. Introverts have to expand energy on social situations unlike extroverts who gain energy from such interactions. Once again, this is no indication that all introverts avoid social interactions. A lot of introverts spend time with friends. They love to spend time with their few friends. An extrovert might seek to hang out so he can make friends. An introvert is only interested in hanging out with his friends. 4. You have a small group of close friends. Because introverts usually love spending time alone. People wrongly believe that they do not like people. This is not true. Introverts may not enjoy social interactions a lot but they do enjoy spending time with a small group of friends. These are the people they are close to. Introverts value deep, long-lasting relationships marked by a great deal of closeness and intimacy. Compared to having a large number of people they don't really know closely. This introverts have a very small group of friends. Extroverts prefer to be acquainted with a lot of people. Their circle of friends and acquaintances is usually wide. But for introverts, this is not so. Introverts are very careful in choosing whom they relate with and whom they have as friends. Also, they value those friends which they eventually make. They would relate with a person directly and engage with a large group of people. If you are like this, if you prefer a small group of friends whom you are committed to, you may be introverted. 5. You are drawn to jobs that involve independence. Introverted people are naturally averse to taking jobs that would demand social interaction. They appreciate low-key jobs, jobs that would keep them away from social circles. Introverts prefer career choices that would require them to work independently. For example, an introvert might enjoy working as a writer, accountant, computer programmer, graphic designer, pharmacist, or artist. 6. You like to learn by watching. Introverts would prefer to watch and observe to learn where extroverts would instead dive right in and learn through hands-on experience. Extroverts love to learn through trial and error. Introverts learn best by watching. That means introverted people would instead observe others carry out an activity then would copy the same so that they can learn. After learning though, introverts would rather prefer to practice their skill privately without having to show off to anyone. If you like to learn more by watching rather than doing, there is a chance that you have a more introverted personality. 7. You are very self-aware. Introverts are introspective. As a result, they invest time in looking inward and consulting their internal experiences. Introverted people usually would have excellent knowledge and insight into themselves, their emotions, and their feelings. Introverted people enjoy using their minds a lot. They tend to think and examine things a lot in their minds. Being self-aware is crucial for introverts. As a result, they spend a large amount of time learning more about themselves. They identify the hobbies they enjoy, they think about their lives, and they enjoy reading books that focus on topics of their interest. If you feel that you are self-aware and enjoy discovering deep insights about yourself, it might be a sign you are introverted. If this video inspired you, like the video. We love you.

Hey guys, we're here with another video for the simple kid art hashtag simple kid art hashtag kid-friendly art Playlist that we're doing right now. We're all stuck inside and Doing what we need to to keep other people from being sick And in the meantime that doesn't mean we have to just be bored and have nothing to do so this video is intended for children and I May at times during the video and in prior videos say, you know, make sure you get mom and dad's permission Make sure you're not using things that You shouldn't be Make sure you do your schoolwork first, right help mom and dad with the chores while you're home Those are all things you can do to keep busy Besides art that art is a great tool too. So If you haven't watched the other videos before this you might want to The first one we made some little Embellishments and then we made a little card that we can send to friends or we can send to people who are sick in the hospital or something like that and then We also made a sketchbook. We've done a journal page. We've done different things So one of the things I did today was I took all of our drawing tools and things that we've been making I had this old like planner and pencil bag. This was in my closet already Maybe you don't have anything like this but maybe you just have a bag a pencil bag that you can put all your little drawing stuff in and You can use it then you can have it and you can carry around with you You can use it in your bedroom You can use it in the living room while you're sitting with your family watching TV at night You can use it in the backyard Making sure that you're doing what you're supposed to and maintaining a Social distance staying at home staying six feet from people if you don't know what that is talk to mom and dad Anyway, you can take this anywhere with you. You can when things get better put it in your Backpack and you can draw at recess You can take it to the park and sit and draw it on the grass out in the French fresh sunshine that would be great So anyway, so I put I had this little planner and this pencil pouch so I put all the markers and the crayons that we're going to use in here and I put some of our tools in here I put our scrap pieces of paper and the card that we made in here I put my pencils in the little pouch here. These are the little embellishments that we made this already had some paper in it So you definitely could use this paper to do some of the work on like we were doing in the journal page in the Art journaling video and then in the back I tucked my daily drawing book in the back So we're going to take our daily drawing book today and our pen and today. What is our word today? Today our word is face So we're going to flip the page and draw a face and take our little piece of cardboard and tuck it in here And then turn our page and we're going to draw a face now. Remember when we did our face before One of the faces we did We did a couple different faces we did one in pencil right and we did this one where we didn't lift up the pen So let's do another one like this because they're just they're a lot of fun. They're messy. They're imperfect They don't have to be perfect. Let me get a chair all right So I'm going to take our pen just a ballpoint pen the one that we've already been using whatever that one that is You could definitely do this in pencil or marker if you want to and I am going to just put my pen down on the Paper and then I'm going to start to draw a face first. I'm going to draw the shape of the face And I'm going to come back over here where I want the eyebrows to be and then the first eyeball underneath that And then the colored part of the eye is called the iris right and then the pupil is the black part I'm going to come around We're going to do our second eyebrow and Our second eyeball the iris and the pupil I'm going to go back up to one of the eyebrows. I'm going to use this one for now I'm going to draw nose All right, and there we go Then while I'm at the nose, I lifted my pen up. Did you see that oops? Okay? I'll put it back up where I started. I'm going to go down to the lips and then down to here I'm going to put a ear over here Put another ear And then let's just put some hair crazy hair. Let's do crazy hair Right, who doesn't like crazy hair and we'll put a neck If you don't really want to ever do a floating head Okay, and we did a face So we're going to put the Pen away and let's add just a little bit of color I have a pink color pencil For the lips I'm going to grab a blue one I have a light blue and a dark blue. So let's grab the Oh, no, that's sorry. That's not dark blue. That's gray Um Let's just use the light blue for now I'm gonna do the eyes I'm gonna just add some shadow with the blue because blue is one of our shadow colors, right? We talked about that in one of the last videos The yellow is a highlight color So It's a light bright color and the paper is yellow. So we're going to just put The blue where we want things to be darker Make the face look a little less flat Just like that You know, it's the one thing I forgot. I forgot to put the word at the bottom We're so happy about doing a face So there we go There's our drawing for the day So I want you guys to do your drawing of your face now. Maybe you're saying I can't do a face like that That's okay. Just do a smiley face any kind of face. There's no right way. There's no wrong way. There's only your way So draw a face today get yourself a little drawing kit together If all you have is a ziploc bag that works and then you have all your tools in one place And wherever you are when you want to draw you can just grab that bag and you can go at it, right? All right, that's it for today. I hope you all have a great day Don't forget to mind mom and dad and do what you need to And above all go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And I'll see you later. Bye guys

DEF CON 25 Packet Hacking Village - Michael Gianarakis ,Keith Lee - Portia

Portia: it's a new tool we have written at SpiderLabs to aid in internal penetration testing test engagements. The tool allows you to supply a username and password that you have captured and cracked from Responder or other sources as well as an IP ranges, subnet or list of IP addresses. The tool finds its way around the network and attempts to gain access into the hosts, finds and dumps the passwords/hashes, reuses them to compromise other hosts in the network. In short, the tool helps with lateral movements in the network and automating privilege escalation as well as find sensitive data residing in the hosts.

So, welcome to the 410 talk for the speaker workshops, and we're going to get started, and we're going to talk about POSHA by Michael Generakis and Keith Lee from Spider Lab, twice for you. Thank you. There we go. Okay, so just to introduce ourselves, so my name is Michael Generakis, I'm the director for Spider Labs APAC, and Keith is the Sydney Consultant in the Spider Labs APAC group, so I'm from Australia, Keith's from Singapore. So the motivation for the POSHA tool is, as pen testers, we do a number of internal network pen tests as part of our day today. There are a bunch of awesome tools and techniques for capturing and cracking credentials, for example, Responder, and we really wanted to fill the gap from, you know, once we've got a low privileged account, even perhaps, you know, the client will give you a low privileged account to start with, we really wanted to fill that gap between having a low privileged account and getting to a high privileged account in terms of the tooling. And also help with a few common issues that we came across as pen testers on our day today. So we developed a tool called POSHA to help with this. We developed POSHA because we found similar tools had a number of issues, so apart from the fact that they're all sort of disparate, you've got a number of PowerShell scripts and different tools that you use that don't really sort of sync together, and we're finding that a lot of the tools had limited support and success on more recent versions of Windows. They were not as effective against systems that have implemented common hardening techniques, so we had to sort of figure out ways to bypass that and then run what we needed to run. And we wanted a single but also modular tool to cover the techniques rather than having multiple tools. So POSHA aims to automate a number of the techniques that we commonly perform on an internal test after we've got a low privileged account. So things like privileged escalation, lateral movement, and also a bunch of convenience modules that we typically would like to use. Just as an aside on the name, so POSHA is actually a type of jumping spider that feeds on other spiders. They're known for being very intelligent and have good problem-solving capabilities, so we thought that was a, you know, being from spider labs, we thought that was a pretty cool name, so that's where it is. So this is a basic workflow for our purposes for demos. On the right, you can see a basic network that we've set up for demonstration purposes. It's got domain controller, a couple of hosts, and the hacker. So this is the basic workflow of POSHA. I'll dive into each of the individual items in more detail on how it works. But just to give you a bit of an overview, we've got our credentials, right? It checks the credentials, makes sure they're valid, and they work. It enumerates a list of users in the domain admin group. It checks if the account is part of the domain admin group because, you know, you might get lucky, you never know. It checks this file for stored credentials. It syncs the time with the domain controller and attempts to exploit MS-14068. If it's vulnerable, if not, it goes down and checks MS-08, 067, MS-1710. It checks which host the account has admin access on. It checks for impersonation tokens belonging to the domain admin group. If you don't get lucky with that, well, if you do get lucky with that, it adds the impersonation token to the domain admin group. And then you can run Mimikats on the DC. If not, it runs Mimikats locally and you get some hashes. And then if we get any new hashes or passwords, we test those credentials and we start again. So the whole idea is that it's iterative. We work through it. And then every time we get a new password, we start the process again. Every time we get access to a new host, we start the process again. And we will just continually work through this sort of basic workflow until all the passwords or hashes have been exhausted or all of the hosts have been compromised. And then we can continue with some of the post-exploitation modules we have. Another thing that we added recently is it's not just an automated sort of click and go tool. You can run any of these individual modules directly or combine them. So we want to tab that flexibility as well. So we start with the low-hanging fruit. So credentials may be sought in group policy preferences. So there are a number of locations where you might find credentials. So drive maps, local users and groups, schedule tasks, et cetera. So when you create a new group policy preference, an XML file is created in SysFile, which contains all the relevant configuration information, and you may get passwords in there as well. And any authenticated domain account can access that, so you don't need elevated privileges for that. And passwords are encrypted using a known 32-byte AES key. I say known because Microsoft published it on MSDN, presumably inadvertently, been there for years. So, yeah, we can decrypt them. But of course, once this came out, it's a pretty big fail. So Microsoft patched it in MS-14025. And so the result of that patch is you can't create new group policy preferences that rely on saved passwords. But it doesn't remove the old passwords, right? So how many clients and organizations do you know, they're just patching things, sometimes wrote a new patch where you apply it, but they're not really understanding what's going on in the patch. They don't know what it's fixing, and they don't know that they need to go back and clear out those passwords. So we still see it all the time on tests where they still have old, insecure passwords that we can decrypt using that key. Then we check for MS-14068. So basically, it's a privilege escalation, vulnerability that allows you to elevate your privileges to domain admin. So basically, you can create a fake pack claiming that your regular user that you have access to is a member of the domain administrators group, and then elevate your privileges that way. If that's not successful, we do try the classics, right? MS-08, 067, it's an old one. It's mostly patched, but you never know your luck, right? So it's easy one to do, and so we check for that. The more recent one, thanks to Shadowbrokers and the NSA, allegedly, we have MS-1710, and that's the SMB floor that can also allow for remote code execution. So if we get remote code execution on those boxes, well, then that's great, right? So assuming there's no passwords in SysFolm, and assuming those vulnerabilities have been patched and they're not exploitable, what do we do next? And that's what we get to the impersonation token. I'll hand it over to you. Okay, thanks. Impersonation token is when the user locks into a system, and then, which button is it? Okay, and then a delegation token is created, which is converted to an impersonation token even after the user locks out. So this impersonation token has exactly the same right as the delegation token. It doesn't get deleted and it remains on the system until it's rebooted. So what happens is, if a domain, I mean, locks into a box and then the attacker gets to the box, he can use that token to execute domain and receive commands that run having the same privilege as the domain manager as an example of what it looks like when we privilege escalation using the tokens. Sorry. Okay, so if there's no impersonation token, what happens for sure will run the Mimicats and actually done the local password hashes. So if there are new password hashes or new password that gets, it gets added to a database and then the process continues and it tries to use the new password to attack hosts that have not been tested before. And it repeats this again until there's, it runs out of password to test or until all hosts have been compromised. So the thing about shared local administrative password is, sometimes any T administrators are lazy or they've tried to do it the easy way out. All the systems are using the same shared look at administrative password. So when you compromise one host, you can compromise the other host in the network with having the same shared look at administrative password. So yeah, so with the shared local admin password, the idea is that typically when we talk about privilege escalation, right, we're usually only looking to go up. But one of the things that we want to do on a pen test is get a lot of coverage and it's a real sort of pain in the ass to check every sort of host in the network that you may be in scope to see if the credentials that you have could be useful. So the idea is that we can get a lot of breadth and we're looking to expand on that and I'll get to that at the end. So yeah, so the other thing, going back to the context, right, there are a number of controls that have been implemented that can stop us from doing these things. So we need to figure out ways to bypass that and Portia has support to automate some of these bypasses. So Microsoft created the anti-malware scan interface. So it's designed to detect and prevent script attacks. So things like all your PowerShell scripts, right, that you're running, it's designed to detect those and to shut them down, right? So it implements a number of security checks, so it scans file and memory and stream, content source, URL, IP checks and a whole bunch of other techniques. It also has some support for breaking through of the skated scripts and identifying of the skated scripts. And Portia currently implements two techniques to automatically bypass AMSI. So the first one is like a real basic one. You might get lucky with it, most times no, but we still got it because it's pretty easy to implement. So basically if the host is running .NET version 2.0, you can see the whole string up there. It's a very specific version. You can actually force the use of PowerShell V2. So AMSI is supported in PowerShell version 3, but not currently not PowerShell version 2. So with that, you can use the dash version option. So it's dash version 2 and you can force the use of PowerShell 2, which is bypassed as AMSI, so works well. But it's reliant on that single version being available. The more robust technique was created by a guy called Matt Graber and I apologize for having ruined his name. But basically it's a simple one liner that unloads AMSI from the current process and it doesn't require elevated privileges and it works with PowerShell V3 with AMSI. So that's the robust one that usually works most of the time. There's a bunch of other sort of bypass techniques that then are being presented over the years. And we'll probably add some more as we continue to develop Portia. The other control that we frequently run up against is AppLocker. So Portia implements a number of AppLocker bypass techniques. So the first one is exploiting weak path rules, so inappropriate folder permission. So by default Windows allows read and write under the Windows directory, but Windows slash tasks, Windows slash temp and Windows slash tracing. So any binary that executes from these folders won't be blocked by AppLocker. And so Portia just loads PowerShell into the task directory and we're good to go. So pretty straightforward bypass. The other one that it tries is with MSBuild.exe. So injecting code into a signed Microsoft binary, if you manage to do that, it will execute code without it being picked up by DeviceGuard. So MSBuild.exe specifically allows for inline tasks which basically allows you to compile and execute code and memory on the target and can be used to effectively execute arbitrary code on the target and Portia uses that as an AppLocker bypass if necessary. And the final AppLocker bypass is a script that was written, I'm not gonna try and pronounce his GitHub username, but it was written by that guy and it was based on technique developed by Subteam and it lets you run .NET code inside Jscript or VB script. So PowerShell, Portia also has support for the invoke obfuscation script. So basically it's a script developed by a guy called Daniel Bohannon and it allows for obfuscation of your PowerShell scripts with the idea that you can bypass AV and other protections that might be looking for PowerShell scripts. So I mean, it doesn't work 100% of the time against every AV, but it works well enough most of the time. The other thing as well, again, going back to the context at the start where we sort of said, you know, a lot of these scripts and tools that we use aren't well maintained and they don't really run well against newer versions of Windows. The invokeMimicat script, which is the one that's commonly used to run Mimicats, it's running an outdated version of Mimicats and it can have issues with Windows 10. So the way that Portia does it, we use the invokeReflectivePinjection script which runs the latest version of Mimicats or it can be any kind of code, it doesn't have to be Mimicats in the memory of the target host and it's a way more reliable version, way more reliable against recent versions of Windows. So the other thing that Portia does automatically is we've got this list of passwords, right? We've got this database. We check it against any available SMB shares or folders just to see what we can access, what we can't and which passwords work with which resources. Cool, and Portia has a bunch of other modules so we mentioned a bunch of convenience modules and other privilege escalation related modules. This is just a sampling, we're adding more all the time so obviously it's available on GitHub or throw up the link at the end so if people wanna contribute, they can. So currently it dumps wireless passwords, it looks for configuration files that are known to have passwords in it like VNC configurations, party configurations, things like that. It dumps browser credentials as well and key pass credentials, config files, things like that. It also has a recent module which is automatic compromise of MS SQL databases and I'll hand over keys to go through that. Okay, so what happens in this module is, let's say if you don't have access to the SMB ports but there's an MS SQL service that's running. So what this module does is look for weak passwords whether you're using, it has to go into the weak password that is supplied by social engineering toolkit and then if it's successful, enable XP CMD shell like as a local admin account on the box and it also enables the admin share so that you can run SMB stuff. Dump hashes from the same database. Dump's clear text credentials via Mimicast. It also looks for interesting information store in the database like card information or password. Yeah, so this is just a screenshot of what it does. So as you see in this screenshot, it detects that PowerShell is blocked by a blocker so it attends one of the techniques to bypass it so it can write invoke Mimicast and then it dumps the KTex credentials from memory and then it dumps the same, the hashes from the same database and then it dumps the, sorry, the MSSQL credentials and lastly, at the bottom, you can see that it finds all the interesting data and display in a format that is easy for you to see so you don't have to look through all the tables and stuff. So PowerShell also looks for interesting files that could be like key pass, database, unattent.xml file that can contains credentials or travianc.ni that can also create credentials and documents that has the name password in them and so on and so forth. And yeah, you can use other modules like there's a key pass module or there's a true quick module or there's a beat locker module that can dump the password and the keys to decrypt it offline. You can use any of these modules individually. You don't need to use a letter from one order. And it will ultimately download them for you so you don't have to pull it down individually and you also display like the first few string of what it looks like if it's a text document. So the other thing that we do, another module that we have that's pretty common that's very useful is dumping browser creds. So it uses various PowerShell scripts. So first it checks if Firefox or Chrome is present on the system. It checks if the current logged in user, what the current logged in user is and checks whether we have that hash or password belonging to that user in our sort of Porsche database so to speak. And then we have a PowerShell script that runs within that user session and dumps the credentials to a file. The other thing we do, so this is an example of like a convenience module that we have in there that's not directly related to privileged escalation or lateral movement or anything like that. But it's a common activity that we would do on a pen test. So the most pen testing we do or generally is for PCI or we're looking for credit card information or something of value like that. So we've got a module in here that searches for pen on disk and in memory. It uses a couple of scripts that are already written. We didn't write anything new for it. Basically, obviously the credit card found on the disk it works through the same way as the other modules that find interesting files works. But the way that the memory scraper works, so Porsche will enumerate a list of all applications on the host that we have admin access on. And then once we've got that list of processors running we have producer table that shows which programs are running on which hosts and what processes are common. And then we look for interesting processes to dump. So we don't dump at all, obviously. But this is what it looks like. So you've got that table there. So let's say you're doing a retail client or something like that that got pod systems. It's likely their pod's application potentially has credit card information in memory. So you would select that process if you got access to that host. And dump the memory and see if you can find anything good in the memory. We've also got some basic support for analyzing hashes. So currently we can analyze if there's a blank hash or if there are accounts that are using the same hash. But we want to build out this functionality a little bit further. So one of the things that we unfortunately commonly see on Pentes is password reuse between low privileged accounts and high privileged accounts. So we sort of see that all the time where they use the same password for both. So if you're able to get the low privileged account, it's very easy to get access to the high privileged account. So we've got a, well, Portia, currently this is what Portia does. It has a list of the valid hashes and analyzes it for patterns. Obviously blank ones, reused passwords across different accounts and things like that. So yeah, and as I said, we're looking to expand it and it can be useful on a Pentes. So where are we looking to take Portia? So something that we're continuing to actively develop. The biggest area that we want to progress in is attacking targets and adjacent networks via proxying through trusted hosts, right? So if we're in a particular network segment and we don't have access to other hosts on another network segment, but we have a host that we have access to on our segment that's trusted into the other segment, we can proxy through that to run Portia then on those hosts that it can see. So that's something that we're working on right now that we want to really improve on and I think it's sort of the missing feature right now that will make Portia really a lot more robust. So that's what we're working on now. We're looking to add a bunch of data exfiltration modules as well, because that's a common activity that we're doing on Pentes. We would like to add support for more database modules as well. So not just MS SQL, Postgres, whatever, and there are a few dependencies as you may have been able to allude to and it's not difficult to set up, it's not like trying to set up Metasploit from scratch, but we want to create a docket image just to make it easier to set up and deploy. So this is where it's located. It's on our GitHub page. Feel free to, oh yeah, we'll just switch over. But hopefully it works, we'll see. But yeah, so check it out. It's on our GitHub page. Feel free to submit an issue if you have an idea or if you want to develop a module of your own. Yeah, I think we're good. Yeah. No, nothing. Yeah, there we go. All right. So yeah, if you have ideas for modules or you have issues or bugs, submit an issue in GitHub or submit a pull request if you want to and we'll go from there. So now we have a demo. Yeah, so I'm running this through the normal mode where you find the boxes and try to compromise and get the hashers and passwords and from compromising one box to compromising the domain controller. I'll let you run first because it takes a while, but let me explain, I'll come back to it. So what happens is you get a password that you capture or crack from Responder or some other place. So you've managed to find that it has an admin access on one of the boxes which is going to a domain and this is what you see. So firstly it dumps mini-cats followed by dumping the hashers. So something interesting is one of the administrator has locked into the same box. So you do see a domain admin account here. Can everybody see that it's a bit small, right? Zoom in? Okay, let's move back. Okay, so yeah. Sorry, this is just a really simple network. We've got a domain controller. We've got a domain controller. We've got a host that's connected to the domain controller. We've got a separate host as well and we've got the attacker machine which is what Keith has got here. So a pretty simple network. It's just because it can take a while if you've got a... So on this machine that's joined to a domain, there is a domain admin account. I mean the domain admin strator has locked in. So after it dumps the credentials by admin-cats, it dumps the same database. It analyzes that. It also tries to pick up the impersonation token. So that's an administrator impersonation token. So we can basically make use of either the clear text credential or the token. Since you have the past clear text credential, the script for sure will just use the clear text credential to compromise the domain controller. Yup, it just tests MS14068. Since the first account we used was a local user account, it doesn't have access to the domain so it will skip this part. If it has a valid user account, it will test whether is it vulnerable to MS14068. So now it has moved the lateral movement to the compromise the domain controller using the credentials that it had captured from memory. So it does the same thing, mini-cats, same database, and then tokens. And then it collects all these credentials and hashes and compromise the third box which is a host in the work group mode. But coincidentally, there's just as we spoke earlier about the shared look at administrator password. So these two machines, even the whites and the domain whites of the work group, both are using the same shared look at administrator password. So using the, as you see here, it uses the hash, anti-ln hash to compromise the third box. So in the end, it will tell you like, since it will stop when it runs out of hashes or passwords to try, or when all hosts have been compromised. So what you see here is all the hashes that I've seen and collected so far. Password first, followed by hashes. And then it does an analysis of what accounts use what password, what hash. So you can see that these two accounts use the same password hash and so on. And then it also lists down what hash and what password it used to get into the box. So, and then it ends by saying that you can rather run post-expertory module or it stops this way. So let's look at another thing, which is the MSSQL module. Just now I was explaining in scenario where there's only MSSQL port that's open, SMB ports are not open. So how do you compromise it? So in this case, it found a default account. It tried to test against the weak password. And then, so it got in and then it enabled the XP-CMD shell. It has a local admin account. And then when it's trying to run other scripts, it realized that PowerShell is blocked by AppLocker. So it had one of the techniques and then successfully run Mimicast on the machine, done the clear text credentials, done the same database, and then followed by things like the password and look for interesting data. I mean, it also enabled the admin folder so that you can access it remotely. Even though it's blocked initially. In future version, I plan to do like every version that's compromised, you return shells. So that's more fun than just getting password. Another thing that we're also developing in support where we can to, well, the purpose of that tool is to automatically attack certain two-way implementations. So we feel like it's a good fit for PowerShell as well. So we're gonna probably integrate the two. That's not how SpiderLabs get helped just yet, but it will be soon and we'll probably integrate it to PowerShell. So this is another module about scanning from Ramvity. So it scans for MS08067 or MS17010. It doesn't export at this point, but as time goes on, we plan to add in because we want to add in all the common techniques to get from zero to domain admin. As easy as possible. So let's go on to the next module. It's about files, finding interesting files. So same as usual, it checks whether PowerShell is blocked or not because it's easier to run post-acidation with PowerShell. And after that, it finds all the interesting files that could contain passwords or other sensitive data because previously, MS087 might be storing passwords using text document, then they migrated to Excel, then they upgraded to KeyPass. So, might as well download the KeyPass file. It downloads all the interesting files for you as well as the location. This one is to show that it's the same, it's just show, it'll be locked, please. Give me a second. Okay, if the administrator or the user has the KeyPass open on his computer, it's able to dump the clear text credentials. So it's just using a common script, but it detects which user is, you lock on and using the KeyPass software and it has to run it in a context so that we can dump the credentials. If not, it doesn't work at all. This is just another screenshot to show that it dumps the true creep keys so that we can decrypt it offline. There's also a module that we are working on like just now we've been speaking about finding alternative route to attack a decision network. So, if you provide it with a list of IP address and it can't access those IP address initially by ping or whatever, but it found a route in an alternate host, it will highlight, it doesn't show here because I don't have an example, but it will highlight here, it says that this host has an alternative route to what you might be interested in. So this is just a small step to where we are going next. Going to be next to. Okay. Last, second last, it finds clear text, I mean documents that contains credit cards and as well this is same as what we see just now but it displayed a card number, not my card number. And then this is just what we run just now but as it takes some time, now it has finished running to show that it works. Just a comment, you guys should check out ClocoFi done by Joe Gervais last year. Python 2.7, I've made, I upgraded to 3.5 and did the PowerShell version but it takes any EXE file, image file, binary file and turns it into a list, set of lists that you define. A list of Pokemon with latitude and longitude in front of it, clear text, whatever, it's pretty powerful, it's awesome. Yeah, thanks man, we'll check it out. You had a question there? So, in talking about sensitive data, you mentioned credit cards. How about PII and PHI, which is a little more complicated? Yeah, so at the moment it's relatively limited in terms of what it looks for but that said we are expending that and that's on the list to do. We're trying to get the routing stuff in first but expending our searches for broader categories of sensitive information is definitely on the radar and obviously if anybody wants to contribute then feel free, yeah. No, you can define the limits of the scope or you can just let it run, it depends. You just, we tried to make it as modular and as progressive as possible so you can have it run as much as possible against whatever it can do or you can either run individual modules or you can limit certain modules to have certain options to limit what gets run. Yeah, another question? Yeah. It's now on screen but that's a good idea. You should probably be able to add an option to dump it to a file, yeah, for sure. Cool, any other questions? I think we're out of time.

This article discusses the use of cloud technology in the educational process, with specific focus on geography. It provides an overview of several cloud-based tools that can be used for teaching geography, including GapMinder, Dessa, DataRapper.de, Timographics, HP Reveal, Mosaic Education, Set Terra Online, Click That Hood, Canva, Paint Instant, and more. The authors provide a brief description of each tool, its advantages and disadvantages, and how it could be used in the classroom. They also provide visual examples of how these tools have been applied in the classroom. Finally, they argue that in the long term, these technologies will create a more efficient and collaborative learning environment, connecting students from all around the world. This article was authored by Olga V. Bondarenko, Alina V. Pakamova, and Vladimir Izaselsky.

Okay, I'm going to call the meeting to order it is 431. And to do a roll call right now I'm going to look at all the pictures if you don't mind, and we have Dale, Chris, Jordan, Thomas, Eve, Rhea, Councilwoman Susie Hidalgo-Fairing, and Sheila, our friend slash guest. And then the staff. So, the first thing to do is to introduce Sheila Conroy, she is a member of the public who's joining us tonight. Comment or make any introduction of yourself Sheila, you can do so now if you'd like. Just need to unmute. Can you unmute your cursor. Yeah, I got it now. Sorry about that. Yeah, I'm on the senior citizen advisory board, and I'm also slightly involved with long on public media, and when the museum board, the AIPP, and the senior citizens board go back to in person meetings. I will be not recording them, but what do we do? Broadcasting. I will be broadcasting those advisory board meetings. So I thought I was kindly invited here by Joanne, just to see who everybody is. And looking forward to listening to your meeting. Truncated meeting, I think. Thank you. First things first. Let's look at the minutes from the May 19, 2021 meeting. Does anyone have any corrections or additions to those? If not, is there a motion to approve those minutes? I still move. Thank you, Dale. Is there a second? Thanks, Ria. All in favor of approving the minutes, please raise your hands. Good, we're getting at this. Chris, are you in favor? And opposed. Actually, I actually need to abstain because I wasn't there, so I can't. Okay, that's great. Thank you. Sorry, forgot about that. All opposed. Okay, so the approval of the minutes is unanimous with one abstention. Chris, moving on. Eric is going to tell us about the accessions that he has ready for June. I think there is. I lost you. Okay, so the June accessions mostly relate to collecting for Longmont 150. But we do have one other donation of two postcards. One from the, from the Longmont call office, which was a precursor to the Times call. And the other one of the Longmont juvenile band. The nice thing about these is they actually have messages on the back. So that helps to kind of place them in time. And adds a little bit more context to them. So we have all the rest of our donations relate to our project to collect glasses from every brewery distillery and cidery in Longmont. So we have collision brewing, bootstrap brewing, Oscar blues, 300 sons, wibby, copper sky distillery, and left hand brewing. So we have another six breweries distilleries and cidery still to go. So hopefully you'll see all those at next month's board meeting and then see them all on exhibit at Longmont 150. Any questions on any of those donations? Oh, pretty short list. Yep. I moved to accept the accessions. Thank you, Chris. Is there a second? Thanks, Dale. All in favor of accepting these proposed accessions. Please wave your hand. Very good. All opposed. So that's a unanimous approval of the proposed accessions for June. All right. Moving on. This may be the shortest meeting ever. So Kim is out today. So she is not going to be able to do the museum director's reports, but she's going to be able to do the museum director's reports. So Kim is stepped in and we'll do that for us today. And I will just hit a few highlights. Under administration. The master development plan is our, the big project right now. In fact, that's, that's where Kim is. She is in a meeting about, about that. Yeah. And that's the project. For the long month, the deadline is June 18th. So coming right up and I would encourage you to do that because they're, they are exciting. What we're planning. In marketing. Had a great review in the Denver post by our critic Ray, Rinaldi, was led to a real jump in exhibition attendance for our just almost exactly one more month. And so if you haven't seen it, check it out. Membership and Development, Megan, who you met last month, is deeply involved in getting the Tier 2 SCFD application out the door of the report. That is a huge project, tons and tons of information gathered for that, which then we use for the rest of the year. For education, it's been really neat. The last couple of weeks with summer camps in person at the museum, it just feels like the level of energy has gone up tremendously. All the kids coming in and they're excited to be back out and doing things. And I think the parents are excited to have the kids out of their hair for a while. And it's just been really fun to see summer camps going and they are in person, real kids. So that is an exciting thing to have at the museum right now. And we were able to give all of our summer camp scholarships away, 74 scholarships. So that is really wonderful to be able to have so many people in camps that could not have afforded them otherwise. Eric, can I interrupt you for just one second? That is a huge number of scholarships. I'm wondering, is there a grant that funds that or is it, how are you guys funding those scholarships? Yes, yes. We have a great partnership with the Dodge Family Foundation. And they fund scholarships for summer camps as well as a lot of our other education programs. And some of that may have carried over because last year they had given money for scholarships and then weren't able to have the level of camps we had hoped to. So some of that may have carried over because I think they said just roll it over into the following year. But the Dodge Family has been tremendously generous in supporting our summer camps. Great. Thank you. I appreciate that. In collections, we've been really focused on the Longmont 150 exhibit. Opening night of that exhibit is August 6th. So we've been continuing to collect things like the beer glasses, planning for moving, writing the labels, and working a lot with our exhibits, folks. Also not in the official report, but our registrar, Eileen, who often attends these meetings had a baby about two weeks ago. So she is out on maternity leave for a while. Everyone is doing well. Our new baby's name is Maxwell. And so she'll be back in September. In exhibits, obviously also focusing very much on Longmont 150, they are also planning for the future. We've got 14 exhibitions that are attached to this report that we will be going out into the community, farmers markets at the museum, summer concerts, and so forth. And doing some evaluation where we ask people, we'll have a stack of cards where people can sort in order of which one they think is the most likely that they would visit. So it's a way for us to get a sense from our community what exhibits they are most excited about. And then based on that as well as our own judgment as to what makes sense, we'll be choosing exhibits for the future. Will you also be gathering information on online platforms and places that you guys have gathered more of a virtual audience on those exhibits? Or is it more of an in-person polling? This one is more in-person, just sort of the logistics of doing the card sorts lend themselves to a more in-person polling method. But we may do some of that in the future. Thank you. Under auditorium, really starting to see programs coming back to the museum, both rental events starting to happen, as well as our summer camps. I mean, summer concerts. Summer concerts will start tomorrow night. That concert actually has sold out. It is a free concert, but we did ask people to RSVP. We had a cap of 350. We have met that cap. Now, if you didn't RSVP and you really want to come, our guess is that not everyone will come because it is a free concert. Certainly, come in. We will hold folks back until the reservation period is passed. I believe at 6.30 and then let in additional folks. But shows there's a lot of interest in summer concerts out there. That's very exciting. I don't think we've ever had that much interest in advance for our summer concerts. We have seven concerts, so it would be great to see people coming in throughout the summer. I have a quick question, Eric. I think maybe this has been discussed before, but Thursday nights is the rock and rails in NIWOT. We're in direct competition with them, but I know Thursday is our night for different kinds of stuff. Has that been an issue in the past? It hasn't been, really. Our Thursday night is kind of what we've settled on as the museum's programming night. At times, we're going to compete with other events, but at least so far, it has not hurt us, and it looks like this year we'll continue to see good attendance at our summer concerts. Then visitor services, we resume normal business hours June 1st, so we're back to our Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We're open until 9 on Thursday nights, and then Sundays, 1 to 5 p.m. That is also really nice to feel like we're back in our normal practice. That's been great. We've been able to increase our attendance, because we're still doing the time ticketing, but with longer hours, we're able to have more folks coming to the museum. Then Art and Public Places, on June 26th, there is an Art and Public Places retreat as part of their new strategic planning process. That will happen in the morning, and Angela is going to have invitations sent out to all of you if you're interested in participating in that retreat. It is open to the public and an opportunity to shape the future direction of Art and Public Places, which, like so many other things, has been affected by the pandemic and how people engage with public art, so it's an opportunity to talk about that as they look ahead. That concludes the director's report, but if there are any questions about anything I didn't cover or anything that I mentioned, feel free to... I just have a comment. If you didn't see the article in the Denver paper, be sure to click on the link that's in Kim's report, because it's a really amazing article. At first, I was a little, I don't know, miffed that kept referring to Longmont. It seemed that he was quite in awe of the fact that Longmont had some masterpieces here, but it was a really exciting article. Yes, sometimes the Denver media has a hard time thinking of culture. They kept calling us the suburbs. The Longmont Museum brings rare works of masterpieces to the suburbs. We wouldn't know who Pizarro or some of these people were suburbs. That's fighting words. Great. Thanks, Dale. Anybody else? Questions for Eric on that? Okay, thanks, Eric. Are you guys going to walk in this heat? We are, yes. We walked yesterday and it was toasty, but everybody made it. Yeah. Well, it said 101 on the weather from the airport, the Longmont airport. So wear your pith helmet with the fan in it or something. Yes. Thank you. All right. Thanks very much. Sure thing. I do not have a report. I would just like to say this is my last meeting. So it's been a pleasure serving with all of you, and I'm sorry that this meeting isn't in person, but that being as it is, I'm going to miss you. So anyway, that's it. I don't think we have any old business. Anybody have a business? May I interject? Sure. I just wanted to thank our two board members that are going off the board. I want to thank Chris Bernard Carlson. You've been great. Thank you for all of your support. Chris has been great for her perspective, her perspective from the education point of view, and Chris served for so many years on the Art and Public Places Commission. So she just, I think that you just brought a lot of great background and conversation through that. So thank you very much, Chris. And then I also wanted to thank Eve, our chair, and Eve volunteers many areas in the museum. And Eve is the kind of Jill of all trades of a volunteer that you want to cross path with. So Eve's been with the museum for about seven years, and she volunteers inventory artifact collection. She does exhibit installs and de-installs. And she's also is basically running our membership program. So when Eve will go off the board, but we're still going to see her volunteer all the time at the museum, she's going to continue to work with Eric in the artifact collections, documenting those. But I just kind of wanted to give Eve a lot of credit that if you have ever received a membership renewal form in the mail, and of course you renewed your membership. And then if you received your acknowledgement and thank you letter in your membership card, you have Eve to thank for that. So I just wanted to thank Eve a lot. We depend on her background as a business analyst. And I think that her expertise is going to come in handy, too, as we explore new databases for our artifact collection and our membership database. So just from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Eve. You have been fantastic. And I just also wanted to thank Recognize Dale Bernard, whose term was also up and has reapplied. And we're delighted, Dale, that you are continuing. So thank you for that. I haven't been reappointed yet. I'm just guessing you're we had our interviews last night, yesterday. So great, she's projecting out that you're of course you're going to be there. So I just want to say thank you as well. I wish we could have been in person. It's been I've enjoyed being on the advisory board, but we were talking before the meeting and I actually retired two years ago. And I still do consulting in higher education, but I've been traveling a lot more. Even with the pandemic and planning, that's more travel and and my ability to be able to participate in person as you move in person is going. Well, I won't be there. So I didn't feel it was a good match for me to continue if I'm not able to fully participate. But I've really enjoyed being reconnected to the museum and I will always stay involved in some way. So thanks. Thank you all. Hi, Susie's got her hand up there. So thank you. I just so I had to confirm that I could say something. So we had two applicants, but I believe we had three openings. Four openings. OK, so yes, Dale is returning. So good. So thank you very much. I hated those three minutes because I feel like as far as I only had time to say the questions. And I didn't really we wasn't really giving people the the chance to to really express who they are. But no, so I'm very happy and honored to say that Dale is coming back. And we also have a new another person who will be coming in and she has experience. She works at the she's I think she's the the director over at the Wow. I know it's the Wow Museum, the Children's Museum. So she does come in with experience. So that too is very exciting. And I wanted to put in one other update that I did present and the council approved to have the museum present on on the land acknowledgement. And so, you know, what I would like to see, and this is something that I really that I had pointed out at the meeting, was I would really like to see all departments in our institution create these, you know, to do the land acknowledgement. In addition to something really simple, and I've started to add it into my emails through school and through the city is a little saying on the bottom of my email where my signature is, just a quick land acknowledgement of, you know, the tribes that had existed prior to our our residency here. So that's that's another way that we can incorporate this into our daily daily lives. So thanks. That's all I have. That's that's wonderful. Councilmember Hidalgo-Ferring, is there a date set for when the museum will present? No, I'm going to ask Harold, they didn't, we put it on a future agenda. So typically, I don't see where it's coming in until it's in our packet. But but I can definitely ask Harold ahead of time or Sandy to find out when when we expect that. Okay, I'm sure they'll give us. Yeah, they'll let Kim know and you all know beforehand as well. So and I apologize I'm in the dark. I don't have AC in this house. So I had to find the coolest room in the house. So I wasn't sweating profusely. So I feel like a little mole in here. So sorry. Thank you. I hope you can get cool later. You need a fan and a pan of water with the fan. Ice too. Yeah, would be good. Okay, so if there isn't any other old business, it has been a pleasure. I've enjoyed being on this board very much and and meeting all of you and like I said, it was too bad we couldn't be in person. But I know you will continue on and I'll hear rumors of what's happened in the meeting when I come in to do memberships. So I don't know if there's any new business joined. Did you have anything else or are you done? I have nothing else. Okay, anybody else have new business they'd like to bring up. Okay, any comments? Concerned any just a big thank you for me to you Eve and to you Chris for being on the board and you for all of your leadership. You have been the chair since I came on the board. So it's going to be a different different look next month. So we'll miss you and thank you. Well, you know, change is always good. So but thank you very much for your kind words. Well, you can always come back as part of the public. That's true. I can come and bother you or just come to visit. So if there isn't any anything else anybody wants to bring up? Is there a motion to adjourn? I'll motion to adjourn. Great. Thanks, Brydon. Second. I'll second. Thanks. I'll take Tom. All in favor of adjourning please raise your hand. Opposed? No. So there is a unanimous vote to adjourn the meeting. So at 456. I think this is a record. Wow. Good job. Now we can all try to get cooler. That's right. So thanks you all. Thank you. Thanks again.

GRANDMAJANIS'S POEMS AND STORIES This is a LibriVox recording. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org The Raggedy Man by James Whitcombe Reilly Recording by Janice Greene, Hemingway, South Carolina Oh, the Raggedy Man, he works for Pa, and he's the goodest man ever you saw. He comes to our house every day and waters the horses and feeds them hay. And he opens the shed, and we all just laugh when he drives out our little little wobbly calf. And then, if our hired girl says he can, he milks the cow for Elizabethan. Ain't he an awful good Raggedy Man? Why, the Raggedy Man, he is so good, he splits the kindling and chops the wood, and then he spades in our garden, too, and does most things that boys can't do. He clums to clean up in our big tree and shook an apple down for me, and another and two for Elizabethan, and another and two for the Raggedy Man. Ain't he an awful kind Raggedy Man? And the Raggedy Man, one time, say he picked roast rambos from a orchard tree, and Adam all is roastin' hot, and it's so, too, cause a corn crib got a fire one time and all burned down on the smoot farm about four miles from town. On the smoot farm, yes, and the hired hand that worked there, and then, is the Raggedy Man. Ain't he the beatin'est Raggedy Man? Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. The Raggedy Man is so good and kind, he'll be our horsey and haul and mind everything that you make him do, and won't run off, lest you want him to. I driv'd him once way down our lane, and he got scared when it meant to rain, and lest rear'd up and squealed and run, Bert and I away. And it's all in fun, and then he's scared again, and an old tin can. Whoa, yo, run away, Raggedy Man. Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. And the Raggedy Man, he knows most rhymes and tells him if I be good sometimes, knows about giants and griffins and elves, and the squijakum squeeze that swallows their selves, and white by the pump in our pasture lot, he showed me the hole that the wunxes got. That lives way deep in the ground, and can turn into me, or Elizabeth Ann, or Ma, or Pa, or the Raggedy Man. Ain't he a funny old Raggedy Man? Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. And once, when the Raggedy Man come late, and pigs as through the garden gate, he tend like the pigs as bears, and said, oh, bear shooter, shoot him dead, and race and chase him, and they just run when he paint his hoe at him like it's a gun, and go, bang, bang, and then tin he stand and load up his gun again, Raggedy Man. He's an old bear shooter, Raggedy Man. Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. And sometimes the Raggedy Man lets on where little prince children and old king's gone to get more money and laugh us there, and robbers that stick everywhere. And then, if we all won't cry for sure, the Raggedy Man, he'll come and explore the castle halls, and steal the gold, and steal us, too, and grab and hold, and pack us off to his old cave. And hey, mouse the cave, oh, the Raggedy Man. Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. The Raggedy Man one time when he was making a little bow and hurry for me says, when you're big like your paw is, are you going to keep a fine store like his, and be a rich merchant, and wear fine clothes? Or what are you going to be, goodness knows, and any laugh at Elizabeth Ann? And I says, be going to be a Raggedy Man. I'm just going to be a nice Raggedy Man. Raggedy, Raggedy, Raggedy Man. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The Worm by Ralph Virgingren, read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. When the earth is turned in spring, the worms are fat as anything, and birds come flying all around to eat the worms right off the ground. They like the worms just as much as I like bread and milk and apple pie. And once, when I was very young, I put a worm right on my tongue. I didn't like the taste a bit, and so I didn't swallow it. But oh, it makes my mother squirm because she thinks I ate that worm. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson, read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, and what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head, and I see him jump before me when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow, not at all like proper children, which is always very slow, for he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball, and he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all. He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, and can only make a fool of me in every sort of way. He stays so close beside me, he's a coward, you can see. I'd think shame to stick to mercy as that shadow sticks to me. One morning, very early, before the sun was up, I rose and found a shining dew on every buttercup, but my lazy little shadow, like an errant sleepyhead, had stayed at home behind me, and was fast asleep in bed. End of Poem. This recording is in the public domain. The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. Once upon a time there were four little rabbits, and their names were Flopsie, Mopsie, Cottontail, and Peter. They lived with their mother in a sandbank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree. Now my dear, said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Your father had an accident there. He was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor. Now run along and don't get into mischief. I am going out. Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the bakers. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five current buns. Flopsie, Mopsie, and Cottontail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries. But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden and squeezed under the gate. First he ate some lettuces and some French beans, and then he ate some radishes, and then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley. But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor? Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, Stop! Seeth! Peter was most dreadfully frightened. He rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate. He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe amongst the potatoes. After losing them he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have gotten away altogether, if he had not, unfortunately, run into a gooseberry net and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket. It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new. Peter gave himself up for lost and shed big tears, but his sobs were overheard by some friendly sparrows, who flew to him in great excitement and implored him to exert himself. Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter, but Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him, and rushed into the tool shed and jumped into a can. It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in if it had not had so much water in it. Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool shed, perhaps hidden underneath the flower pot. He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each. Presently Peter sneezed. Mr. McGregor was after him in no time, and tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants. The window was too small for Mr. McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter. He went back to his work. Peter sat down to rest. He was out of breath and trembling with fright, and he had not the least idea of which way to go. Also he was very damp with sitting in that can. After a time he began to wonder about, going lippity, lippity, not very fast, and looking all around. He found a door in a wall, but it was locked, and there was no room for a fat little rabbit to squeeze underneath. An old mouse was running in and out over this stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to her family in the wood. Peter asked her the way to the gate, but she had such a large pee in her mouth that she could not answer. She only shook her head at him. Peter began to cry. Then he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled. Presently he came to a pond where Mr. McGregor filled his water cans. A white cat was staring at some goldfish. She sat very, very still, but now and then the tip of her tail twitched, as if it were alive. Peter thought it best to go away without speaking to her. He had heard about cats from his cousin, Little Benjamin Bunny. He went back towards the tool shed, but suddenly, quite close to him, he heard the noise of a hole. Scritch, scratch, scratch, scratch. Peter scuttered underneath the bushes, but presently, as nothing happened, he came out and climbed upon a wheelbarrow and peeped over. The first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions. His back was turned towards Peter, and beyond him was the gate. Peter got down very quietly off the wheelbarrow, and started running as fast as he could go along a straight walk behind some black current bushes. Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter did not care. He slipped underneath the gate and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden. Mr. McGregor hung up the little jacket and the shoes for a scarecrow to frighten the black birds. Peter never stopped running or looked behind him until he got home to the big fir tree. He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit hole and shut his eyes. His mother was busy cooking. She wondered what he had done with his clothes. It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight. I am sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening. His mother put him to bed and made some chamomile tea, and she gave a dose of it to Peter. One tablespoon full to be taken at bedtime. But flopsie, mobsie, and cottontail had bread and milk and blackberries for supper. This recording is in the public domain. The Duel, The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat by Eugene Field. Red for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat side by side on the table sat. To us half past twelve, and what do you think? Not one nor to other had slept a wink. The old Dutch clock on the Chinese plate appeared to know as sure as fate there was going to be a terrible spat. I wasn't there. I simply state what was told to me by the Chinese plate. The Gingham Dog went, bow, wow, wow, and the Calico Cat replied, meow. The air was littered an hour or so with bits of gingham and calico, while the old Dutch clock in the chimney place up with its hands before its face, for it always dreaded a family row. Now mind I'm only telling you what the old Dutch clock declares is true. The Chinese plate looked very blue and wailed, oh dear, what shall we do? But the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat wallowed this way and tumbled that, employing every tooth and claw in the awfulest way you ever saw. And oh how the Gingham and Calico flew. Don't fancy I exaggerate. I got my news from the Chinese plate. Next morning, where the two had sat, they found no trace of dog or cat, and some folks sink into this day that burglar stole that pair away. But the truth about the cat and pup is this, they ate each other up. Now what do you really think of that? The old Dutch clock, it told me so, and that is how I came to know. End of poem.

This recording is in the public domain. CANT, by Edgar Guest. Read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. CANT is the worst word that's written or spoken, doing more harm here than slander and lies. On it is many a strong spirit broken, and with it many a good purpose dies. It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning, and robs us of courage we need through the day. It rings in our ears like a timely scent warning, and laughs when we falter and fall by the way. CANT is the father of feeble endeavor, the parent of terror and half-hearted work. It weakens the efforts of artisans clever, and makes of the toiler an indolent shirk. It poisons the soul of the man with a vision, it stifles in infancy many a plan. It greets honest toiling with open derision, and mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man. CANT is a word none should speak without blushing. To utter it should be a symbol of shame. Ambition and courage it daily is crushing. It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim. Despise it with all of your hatred of error. Refuse it the lodgement it seeks in your brain. Arm against it is a creature of terror, and all that you dream of you some day shall gain. CANT is a word that is foe to ambition, an enemy ambushed to shatter your will. Its prey is forever the man with a mission, and bows but to courage, and patience and skill. Hate it with hatred that's deep and undying, for once it is welcome to a break any man. Whatever the goal you are seeking keep trying, and answer this demon by saying, I can. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The Things That Haven't Been Done Before by Edgar Guest Read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green Hemingway, South Carolina The Things That Haven't Been Done Before those are the things to try. Columbus dreamed of an unknown shore at the rim of the far-flung sky, and his heart was bold and his face was strong as he ventured in dangers new, and he paid no heed to the jeering's wrong, or the fears of the doubting crew. The many will follow the beaten track with guideposts on the way. They live and have lived for ages back with a chart for every day. Someone has told them it's safe to go on the road he has traveled o'er, and all that they ever strive to know are the things that were known before. A few strike out without map or chart where never a man has been. From the beaten paths they draw apart to see what no man has seen. There are deeds they hunger alone to do, though battered and bruised and sore, they blaze the path for the many who do nothing not done before. The things that haven't been done before are the tasks worthwhile today. Are you one of the flock that follows, or are you one that shall lead the way? Are you one of the timid souls that quail at the jeers of a doubting crew, or dare you, whether you win or fail, strike out for a goal that's new? End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. Hemingway, South Carolina And all about was mine, I said, the little sparrows overhead, the little minnows, too. This was the world, and I was king. For me the bees came by to sing. For me the swallows flew. I played there were no deeper seas, nor any wider plains than these, nor other kings than me. At last I heard my mother call out from the house at Evenfall to call me home to tea. And I must rise and leave my dell, and leave my dimpled water well, and leave my heather-blooms. Alas, and as my home I neared, how very big my nurse appeared, how great and cool the rooms. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll. Read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina. The sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might. He did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright, and this was odd because it was the middle of the night. The moon was shining sockily because she thought the sun had got no business to be there after the day was done. It's very rude of him, she said, to come and spoil the fun. The sea was wet as wet could be. The sands were dry as dry. You could not see a cloud because no cloud was in the sky. No birds were flying overhead. There were no birds to fly. The Walrus and the Carpenter were walking close at hand. They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand. If this were only cleared away, they said it would be grand. If seven maids with seven mops wept it for half a year, do you suppose, the Walrus said, that they could get it clear? I doubt it, said the Carpenter, and shed a bitter tear. A washer's come and walk with us, the Walrus did beseech. A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach. We cannot do with more than four to give a hand to each. The eldest oyster looked at him, but never a word, he said. The eldest oyster winked his eye, and shook his heavy head, meaning to say he did not choose to leave the oyster bed. Out four young oysters hurried up, all eager for the treat. Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, their shoes were clean and neat, and this was odd because, you know, they hadn't any feet. Four other oysters followed them, and yet another four, and thick and fast they came at last, and more and more and more, all hopping through the frothy waves and scrambling to the shore. The Walrus and the Carpenter walked on a mile or so, and then they rested on a rock. They were conveniently low, and all the little oysters stood and waited in a row. The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things, of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings. But wait a bit! The oysters cried before we have our chat. For some of us are out of breath, and all of us are fat. No hurry, said the Carpenter. They thanked him much for that. A loaf of bread, the Walrus said, is what we chiefly need. Pepper and vinegar, besides, are very good indeed. Now, if you're ready, oysters dear, we can begin to feed. But not on us, the oysters cry, turning a little blue. After such kindness, that would be a dismal thing to do. The night is fine, the Walrus said. Do you admire the view? It was so kind of you to come, and you are very nice. The Carpenter said nothing, but cut us another slice. I wish you were not quite so deaf. I've had to ask you twice. It seems a shame, the Walrus said, to play them such a trick, after we've brought them out so far and made them trot so quick. The Carpenter said nothing but, the butter spread too thick. I weep for you, the Walrus said. I deeply sympathize. With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size, holding his pocket handkerchief before his streaming eyes. A oysters said the Carpenter, you've had a pleasant run. Shall we be trotting home again? But answer came there none. And this was scarcely odd, because they'd eaten every one.

The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear Read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green, Hemingway, South Carolina The owl and the pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat. They took some honey and plenty of money wrapped up in a five-pound note. The owl looked up to the stars above and sang to a small guitar. Oh lovely pussy, oh pussy, my love, what a beautiful pussy you are. You are, you are, what a beautiful pussy you are. Pussy said to the owl, you elegant fowl, how charmingly sweet you sing. Oh, let us be married too long we have tarried, but what shall we do for a ring? They sailed away for a year and a day to the land where the bong-tree grows. And there in a wood a piggy-wig stood with a ring on the end of his nose, his nose, his nose, with a ring on the end of his nose. Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shelling your ring? Said the piggy, I will. So they took it away and were married next day by the turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mints and slices of quints which they ate with a runcible spoon. And hand in hand on the edge of the sand they danced by the light of the moon. The moon, the moon, they danced by the light of the moon. End of poem This recording is in the public domain. There was once a velveteen rabbit and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy as that rabbit should be. His coat was spotted brown and white. He had real thread whiskers and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning when he sat wedged in the top of the boy s stocking with a sprig of holly between his paws the effect was charming. There were other things in the stocking nuts and oranges and a toy engine and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse. But the rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the boy loved him and then aunts and uncles came to dinner and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the velveteen rabbit was forgotten. For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy and being only made of velveteen some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior and looked down upon everyone else. They were full of modern ideas and pretended they were real. The model boat who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything for he didn't know that real rabbits existed. He thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself and he understood that sawdust was quite out of date and should never be mentioned in modern circles. Even Timothy the jointed wooden lion who was made by the disabled soldiers and should have had broader views put on ears and pretended he was connected with government. Between them all the poor little rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace and the only person who was kind to him at all was the skin horse. The skin horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrived to boast and swagger and by and by break their mainsprings and pass away and he knew that they were only toys and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful and only those play things that are old and wise and experienced like the skin horse understand all about it. What is real? asked the rabbit one day when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender before Nana came to tidy the room. Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick out handle? Real isn't how you are made said the skin horse. It's a thing that happens to you when a child loves you for a long, long time not just to play with but really loves you then you become real. Does it hurt? asked the rabbit. Sometimes said the skin horse for he was always truthful. When you were real you don't mind being hurt. Does it happen all at once like being wound up? he asked. Or bit by bit. It doesn't happen all at once said the skin horse. You become it takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily or have sharp edges or who have to be carefully capped. Generally by the time you are real most of your hair has been loved off and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all because once you are real you can't be ugly except to the people who don't understand. I suppose you were real said the rabbit and then he wished he had not said it for he thought the skin horse might be sensitive but the skin horse only smiled. The boy's uncle made me real he said that was a great many years ago but once you are real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always. The rabbit sighed. He thought it would be a long time before this magic called real happened to him. He longed to become real to know what it felt like and yet the idea of growing shabby and losing his eyes and whiskers was rather sad. He wished that he could become it without these uncomfortable things happening to him. There was a person called Nana who ruled the nursery. Sometimes she took no notice of the place things lying about and sometimes for no reason whatever she went swooping about like a great wind and hustled them away in the cupboards. She called this tidying up and the play things all hated it especially the tin ones. The rabbit didn't mind it so much for wherever he was thrown he came down soft. One evening when the boy was going to bed he couldn't find the china dog that always slept with him. Nana was in a hurry and it was too much trouble to hunt for china dogs at bedtime so she simply looked about her and seeing that the toy cupboard door stood open she made a swoop. Here she said take your old bunny he'll do to sleep with you and she dragged the rabbit out by one ear and put him into the boy's arms. That night and for many nights after the velveteen rabbit slept in the boy's bed. At first he found it rather uncomfortable for the boy hugged him very tight and sometimes he rolled over on him and sometimes he pushed him so far under the pillow that the rabbit could scarcely breathe and he missed two those long moonlit hours in the nursery when all the house was silent and his talks with the skin horse but very soon he grew to like it for the boy used to talk to him and made nice tunnels for him under the bed clothes that he said were like the burrows the real rabbits lived in and they had splendid games together in whispers when Nana had gone away to her supper and left the night light burning on the mantelpiece and when the boy dropped off to sleep the rabbit would snuggle down close under his little warm chin and dream with the boy's hands clasped close round him all night long and so time went on and the little rabbit was very happy so happy that he never noticed how his beautiful velveteen fur was getting shabbier and shabbier and his tail coming unsewn and all the pink rubbed off his nose where the boy had kissed him spring came and they had long days in the garden for wherever the boy went the rabbit went too he had rides in the wheelbarrow and picnics on the grass and lovely fairy huts built for him under the raspberry canes behind the flower border and once when the boy was called away suddenly to go out to tea the rabbit was left on the lawn until long after dusk and Nana had to come and look for him with the candle because the boy couldn't go to sleep unless he was there he was wet through with the dew and quite earthy from diving into the burrows the boy had made for him in the flower bed and Nana grumbled as she rubbed him off with the corner of her apron you must have your old bunny she said fancy all that fuss for a toy the boy sat up in bed and stretched out his hands give me my bunny he said you mustn't say that he isn't a toy he's real when the little rabbit heard that he was happy for he knew that what the skin horse had said was true at last the nursery magic had happened to him and he was a toy no longer he was real the boy himself had said it that night he was almost too happy to sleep and so much love stirred in his little sawdust heart that it almost burst and into his boot-button eyes that had long ago lost their polish there came a look of wisdom and beauty so that even Nana noticed it next morning when she picked him up and said I declare if that old bunny hasn't got quite a knowing expression that was a wonderful summer near the house where they lived there was a wood and in the long june evening the boy liked to go there after tea to play he took the velveteen rabbit with him and before he wandered off to pick flowers or play at brigands among the trees he always made the rabbit a little nest somewhere among the bracken where he would be quite cozy for he was a kind-hearted little boy and he liked bunny to be comfortable one evening while the rabbit was lying there alone watching the ants that ran to and fro between his velvet paws in the grass he saw two strange beings creep out of the tall bracken near him they were rabbits like himself but quite furry and brand new they must have been very well made for their seams didn't show at all and they changed shape in a queer way when they moved one minute they were long and thin and the next minute fat and bunchy instead of always staying the same like he did their feet padded softly on the ground and they crept quite close to him twitching their noses while the rabbit steered hard to see which side the clockwork stuck out for he knew that people who jump generally have something to wind them up but he couldn't see it they were evidently a new kind of rabbit altogether they stared at him and the little rabbit stared back and all the time their noses twitched why don't you get up and play with us one of them asked I don't feel like it said the rabbit for he didn't want to explain that he had no clockwork oh said the furry rabbit it's as easy as anything and he gave a big hop sideways and stood on his hind legs I don't believe you can he said I can said the little rabbit I can jump higher than anything he meant when the boy threw him but of course he didn't want to say so can you hop on your hind legs ask the furry rabbit that was a dreadful question for the velveteen rabbit had no hind legs at all the back of him was made all in one piece like a pin cushion he sat still in the bracken and hoped that the other rabbits wouldn't notice I don't want to he said again but the wild rabbits have very sharp eyes and this one stretched out its neck and looked he hasn't got any hind legs he called out fancy a rabbit without any hind legs and he began to laugh I have cried the little rabbit I have got hind legs I am sitting on them then stretch them out and show me like this said the wild rabbit and he began to whirl around and dance till the little rabbit got quite dizzy I don't like dancing he said I'd rather sit still but all the while he was longing to dance for a funny new tickly feeling ran through him and he felt he would give anything in the world to be able to jump about like these rabbits did the strange rabbit stopped dancing and came quite close he came so close this time that his long whiskers brushed the velveteen rabbit's ear and then he wrinkled his nose suddenly and flattened his ears and jumped backward he doesn't smell right he exclaimed he isn't a rabbit at all he isn't real I am real said the little rabbit I am real the boy said so and he nearly began to cry just then there was a sound of footsteps and the boy ran past near them and with a stamp of feet and a flash of white tails the two strange rabbits disappeared come back and play with me called the little rabbit oh do come back I know I am real but there was no answer only the little ants ran to and fro and the bracken swayed gently where the two strangers had passed the velveteen rabbit was all alone oh dear he thought why did they run away like that why couldn't they stop and talk to me for a long time he lay very still watching the bracken and hoping that they would come back but they never returned and presently the sun sank lower and the little white moths fluttered out and the boy came and carried him home weeks passed and the little rabbit grew very old and shabby but the boy loved him just as much he loved him so hard that he loved all his whiskers off and the pink lining to his ears turned gray and his brown spots faded he even began to lose his shape and he scarcely looked like a rabbit anymore except to the boy to him he was always beautiful and that was all that the little rabbit cared about he didn't mind how he looked to other people because the nursery magic had made him real and when you are real shabbiness doesn't matter and then one day the boy was ill his face grew very flushed and he talked in his sleep and his little body was so hot that it burned the rabbit when he held him close strange people came and went in the nursery and the light burned all night and through it all the little velveteen rabbit lay there hidden from sight under the bed clothes and he never stirred for he was afraid that if they found him someone might take him away and he knew that the boy needed him it was a long weary time for the boy was too ill to play and the little rabbit found it rather dull with nothing to do all day long but he snuggled down patiently and looked forward to the time when the boy should be well again and they would go out in the garden amongst the flowers and the butterflies and play splendid games in the raspberry thicket like they used to all sorts of delightful things he planned and while the boy lay half asleep he crept up close to the pillow and whispered them in his ear and presently the fever turned and the boy got better he was able to sit up in bed and look at picture books while the little rabbit cuddled close at his side and one day they let him get up and dress it was a bright sunny morning and the window stood wide open they had carried the boy out onto the balcony wrapped in a shawl and the little rabbit leg tangled up among the bedclothes thinking the boy was going to the seaside tomorrow everything was arranged and now it only remained to carry out the doctor's orders they talked about it all while the little rabbit lay under the bedclothes with just his head peeping out and listened the room was to be disinfected and all the books and toys that the boy had played with in bed must be burned her raw thought the little rabbit tomorrow we shall go to the seaside for the boy had often talked of the seaside and he wanted very much to see the big waves coming in and the tiny crabs and the sandcastles just then Nana caught sight of him how about his old bunny she asked that said the doctor why it's a massive scarlet fever germs burn it at once what nonsense get him a new one he mustn't have that anymore and so the little rabbit was put into a sack with the old picture books and a lot of rubbish and carried out to the end of the garden behind the fowl house that was a fine place to make a bonfire only the gardener was too busy just then to attend to it he had the potatoes to dig and the green peas to gather but next morning he promised to come quite early and burn the whole lot that night the boy slept in a different bedroom and he had a new bunny to sleep with him it was a splendid bunny all white plush with real glass eyes but the boy was too excited to care very much about it for tomorrow he was going to the seaside and that in itself was such a wonderful thing that he could think of nothing else and while the boy was asleep dreaming of the seaside the little rabbit lay among the old picture books in the corner behind the fowl house and he felt very lonely the sack had been left untied and so by wriggling a bit he was able to get his head through the opening and look out he was shivering a little for he had always been used to sleeping in a proper bed and by this time his coat had worn so thin and threadbare from a hugging that it was no longer any protection to him nearby he could see the thicket of raspberry canes growing tall and close like a tropical jungle in whose shadow he had played with the boy on bygone mornings he thought of those long sunlit hours in the garden how happy they were and a great sadness came over him he seemed to see them all pass before him each more beautiful than the other the fairy huts in the flower bed the quiet evenings in the wood when he lay in the bracken and the little ants ran over his paws the wonderful day when he first knew that he was real he thought of the skin horse so wise and gentle and all that he had told him of what use was it to be loved and lose one's beauty and become real if it all ended like this and a tear a real tear trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground and then a strange thing happened for where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground a mysterious flower not at all like any that grew in the garden it had slender green leaves the color of emeralds and in the center of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup it was so beautiful that the little rabbit forgot to cry and just lay there watching it and presently the blossom opened and out of it there stepped a fairy she was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world her dress was of pearl and dew drops and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair and her face was like the most perfect flower of all and she came close to the little rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying little rabbit she said don't you know who I am the rabbit looked up at her and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before but he couldn't think where I am the nursery magic fairy, she said I take care of all the placings that the children have loved when they are old and worn out and the children don't need them anymore then I come and take them away with me and turn them into real wasn't I real before, asked the little rabbit you were real to the boy, the fairy said because he loved you now you shall be real to every one and she held the little rabbit close in her arms and flew with him into the wood it was light now for the moon had risen all the forest was beautiful and the fronds of the bracken shone like frosted silver in the open glade between the tree trunks the wild rabbits danced with their shadows on the velvet grass but when they saw the fairy they all stopped dancing and stood round in a ring to stare at her I've brought you a new playfellow, the fairy said you must be very kind to him and teach him all he needs to know in rabbit land for he is going to live with you forever and ever and she kissed the little rabbit again and put him down on the grass run and play little rabbit, she said but the little rabbit sat quite still for a moment and never moved for when he saw all the wild rabbits dancing around him he suddenly remembered about his hind legs and he didn't want them to see that he was made all in one piece he did not know that when the fairy kissed him that last time she had changed him all together and he might have sat there a long time too shy to move if just then something hadn't tickled his nose and before he thought what he was doing he lifted his hind toe to scratch it and he found that he actually had hind legs instead of dingy velveteen he had brown fur soft and shiny his ears twitched by themselves and his whiskers were so long that they brushed the grass he gave one leap and the joy of using those hind legs was so great that he went springing about the turf on them jumping sideways and whirling around as the others did and he grew so excited that when at last he did stop to look for the fairy she had gone he was a real rabbit at last at home with the other rabbits autumn passed and winter and in the spring when the days grew warm and sunny the boy went out to play in the wood behind the house and while he was playing two rabbits crept out from the bracken and peeped at him one of them was brown all over but the other had strange markings under his fur as though long ago he had been spotted and the spot still showed through and about his little

you and dry the orphans and heaps of poor and needy ones that clusters all about or the goblins will get ya if you don't watch out end of poem this recording is in the public domain the creation by James Weldon Johnson read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green Hemingway, South Carolina and God stepped out on space and he looked around and said I'm lonely I'll make me a world and as far as the eye of God could see darkness covered everything blacker than a hundred midnight down in a cypress swamp then God smiled and the light broke and the darkness rolled up on one side and the light stood shining on the other and God said that's good then God reached out and took the light in his hands and God rolled the light around in his hands until he made the sun and he set that sun ablazing in the heavens and the light that was left from making the sun God gathered it up in a shining ball and flung it against the darkness spangling the night with the moon and stars then down between the darkness and the light he hurled the world and God said that's good then God himself stepped down and the sun was on his right hand and the moon was on his left the stars were clustered about his head and the earth was under his feet and God walked and where he trod his footsteps hollowed the valleys out and bulged the mountains up and he stopped and looked and saw that the earth was hot and barren so God stepped over to the edge of the world and he spat out the seven seas he batted his eyes and the lightnings flashed he clapped his hands and the thunders rolled and the waters above the earth came down the cooling waters came down then the green grass sprouted and the little red flowers blossomed the pine tree pointed his finger to the sky and the oak spread out his arms the lakes cuddled down in the hollows of the ground and the rivers ran down to the sea and God smiled again and the rainbow appeared and curled itself around his shoulder then God raised his arm and he waved his hand over the sea and over the land and he said bring forth bring forth and quicker than God could drop his hand fishes and fowls and beasts and birds swam the rivers and the seas roamed the forest and the woods and split the air with their wings and God said that's good then God walked around and God looked around and he had made he looked at his son and he looked at his moon and he looked at his little stars he looked on his world with all its living things and God said I'm lonely still then God sat down on the side of a hill where he could think by a deep wide river he sat down with his head in his hands God thought and thought till he thought I'll make me a man up from the bed of the river God scooped a clay and by the bank of the river he kneeled him down and there the great God Almighty who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night who rounded the earth in the middle of his hand this great God like a mammy bending over her baby kneeled down in the dust toiling over a lump of clay till he shaped it in his own image then into it he blew the breath of life and man became a living soul Amen End of poem This recording is in the public domain Psalm 139 Read for LibriVox.org by Janice Green Hemingway, South Carolina To the Chief Musician a Psalm of David O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me Thou knowest my down-sitting and my uprising Thou understandest my thought Thou are off Thou compassest my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways For there is not a word in my tongue but lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it all together Thou hast beset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high I cannot attain unto it Whither shall I go and whither shall I flee from thy presence If I send up into heaven Thou art there If I make my bed in hell Behold, Thou art there If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea Even there thy hand shall lead me and thy right hand shall hold me If I say Surely the darkness shall cover me Even the night shall be light about me Yea, the darkness hideeth not from thee but the night shineth as the day The darkness and the light are both alike to thee For Thou hast possessed my reins Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth Thine eyes did see my substance yet being unperfect and in thy book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God How great is the sum of them If I should count them they are more in number than the sand When I awake I am still with thee Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God Depart from me, therefore ye bloody men for they speak against thee wickedly and thine enemies take thy name in vain Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee I hate them with perfect hatred I count them mine enemies Search me, O God and know my heart Try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting

Everybody, it's Eric Johnson from AirTayThrowsNation, and in today's video we're gonna look at four throwers, and we're gonna point out a couple of interesting things. Two on the top are converting from the glide to the rotational shot, and our throwers on the bottom are gonna be more rotational shot putters. Now we have two different guys, about ones of 50 and ones of 50 plus when we look at these two, and here we're looking at about a 50 footer and a 70 foot shot putter. One of the reasons why we created the throwing chain reaction system so that you would know exactly how to find what to focus on. So there's mechanical things, and then there's gonna be things that are indicative to the athlete. Style things, mobility things. So let's break it down. We're gonna look at staying on balance. That's one of the key things. So one of the things you wanna look at is why are you off balance? That's super critical. And are you creating tension when you throw, meaning torque and whatnot? That's another simple thing. How is the body moving through the ring? And that's one of the things we talk about in our system, we talk about in our camps, you're gonna need to be able to do is understand exactly what's happening. So that, again, is the point of the six pillars. So we set up our throw in pillar one. We set the chain reaction because we're trying to create the right path. We're trying to create a movement around the entry axis, which we call the movement that's pillar two to three. And then here we look at what we talk is pillar three into four, and that's the sprint. When we have our thrower here, a 50 footer, this is another 50 footer, and this is another 50 foot shot putter, and this is a 70 foot shot putter. And what you're gonna see is that this athlete over here, he's coming around, you're gonna notice that the entry and everything really moves around. This is what we're trying to do. So we would look at this in say pillar two and pillar three. And so what we would be focusing on specifically is we wanna see the entry arm and the sweep and what's the position of the shot. So when we look at this thrower and one of the things we wanted to do is kind of have him understand the path and that entry, we're looking at that entry side. So you're gonna notice a little over rotation. This athlete's kind of turning the whole upper body with the hips. He's got some good movement. Again, just converted from the glide, but you're gonna notice the arm is a little closed. Here, the arm's a little open. You're gonna notice the arm of the 70 footer taking the long path, and you're gonna notice this guy, we're trying to teach him that fine line of how you can open the arm, but not the chest. We wanna basically understand that balance arm we're gonna be taking everything long and you're gonna see balance arm sweep leg length. And then what you're gonna see is everything shorten up and that's where we go, we call it our rewrap. That's our axis transition. So that's one of the trickiest things. You're learning how to sprint and then get onto the other leg and drive with that delivery side into the throw. And then how is your shot position, right? So we're looking at that arm now as we go through the throw. 70 foot shot putter has that elbow up, thumb down and he's maintaining a really nice movement. And you're gonna notice that our younger guys, the gliders have a little bit of the elbow transition. This kid, really nice job of creating the rewrap into his rotational throw, creating that short to create speed and help him stay over the right leg. That was really critical. And you're gonna notice here, this athlete kind of opens up a little too early. So you're gonna notice a chain reaction, right? If he opens a little early, that's gonna pull him. It's gonna be harder to get the hips ahead. And when the shoulders kind of pulling back and you're going up, that tends to lead to that dropping elbow. And you're gonna notice, dropped elbow. You can see how early the athlete loses contact with the ground, losing contact with the ground. This guy's losing contact with the ground too, but you're gonna notice that throughout most of the movement, he has a pretty nice clean push. Thumb down, elbow up. Being on balance is the big key that you wanna see. Look at the balance position of this athlete. Really nice position. Left's not really over rotated. Sweep leg out, nice wide rotational path. Whereas you look with these guys, they're kind of trailing a little bit and they're not as long. They kinda open a little bit. This guy's doing a pretty good job of pulling himself in. We get a little opening here. We're gonna control the timing of that just a touch. And here we've got too much kind of wrapping. But again, some different things going on because really new into the transition. But the key here is when we show that position, look at the elbow position, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow. What that's gonna do is gonna be really important. So one of the clean, simple tips that you're gonna be working on is keeping the thumb down and the elbow up and level so that you can come through and hit the shot. That's one of the core tenants of the throwing chain reaction system. How do we set up good balance points, create the right types of rotational axis, all these fun things, but we make it all really pretty easy to understand by breaking the throw that one and a half seconds to two seconds into six pillars so that you can actually start to find exactly what is causing your problem. And that's the key. So hopefully today's video helps you out. If you like this video, be sure to hit the thumbs up, subscribe, be sure to check out the throwing chain reaction system and we will see you on the next video.

Welcome to the Pyramid Air Holiday Gift Guide, 2018 edition. Today we're taking a look at some historical replicas. We're taking a walk down memory lane. Let's see what we find. First gun up today, a Broomhandle Mauser replica. This is the M712 out of Umarex's Legends line. A lot of fun. The really cool part about this gun is it's capable of full auto fire as well as semi-auto and full blowback, which is a ton of fun. It also has an adjustable rear sight for elevation, which is pretty neat and a drop-free magazine, of course. You can spit the BBs out of here really quick on that full auto setting. Next up, out of Germany as well, one of the most ergonomically friendly guns on the market, whether it was today or back in the 1930s and 40s, the Luger. Now this is the P08, also a Umarex's Legends line. Cool thing about this gun, also full blowback, actually has the flip-up toggle there. You drop the magazine out of this guy and you can pop it down. And of course it does reciprocate every time you pull the trigger. Now this is semi-auto only, but a ton of fun and a very hard-to-find replica. The real thing is almost impossible to get your hands on these days and when you can find them, they are extremely expensive. So if you're looking to replicate that real feel in your hand, this is definitely a good option for you collectors out there. Next up, an American classic. Now this is the John Wayne commemorative edition. This is a 1911, obviously world-famous at this point. Guys, this is a full blowback version with a weathered touch to it. It has a really nice look. The faux wood grips are very nice as well. And of course you get a nice drop-free magazine and these are readily available, so you can have spares on hand. But this is going to give you all of your real controls and real steel feel and a very nice trigger to boot. Next up, the gun Indiana Jones made famous, the Webley Mark 6. This is a really, really cool gun, guys. Obviously double-action, single-action, very easy to operate. One of the cool things about this guy, you flip that back and you actually have those same BB or pellet shells depending on which version you get that you load your ammo right into the back of. So it gives you that little bit of a realistic touch. This gun is awesome, feels great in the hand. Obviously full metal construction outside of the grips. Definitely one to check out. And last up for our pistols, the Colt Single Action Army 7.5 inch. Now the one we have here is the NRA commemorative edition with the NRA emblems in there. It says the right of the people to keep in barrel arms shall not be infringed like that one a lot. This guy is a little bit more powerful than some of the other single actions on there because it has that longer barrel, but very realistic replica. You go ahead and cock that all the way back. Single action only, a very nice operation. You set it on that half cocked position and you can get your shells out of there. No problem. You have a BB version, a pellet version. This gun is a lot of fun, comes in a few different lengths. Definitely one to check out. Moving on to our rifles guys, the Daisy Winchester M14. Now this is a largely plastic gun, so a very lightweight gun, but has a very nice feel to it, very reminiscent of the real thing. The M14 that was made famous really during the Vietnam era. Very nice sights. You do get that full adjustment out of the sights, as well as a realistic cocking action drop-free style magazine that houses two CO2 cartridges right down in there, as well as your stick style magazine, which is going to be good for pellets or BBs. You get eight rounds on each end. This is a very solid gun at a really good price. So if you are looking for something that maybe you're going to knock around in the backyard with to run on CO2, this is a good one to check out. Probably my favorite gun on the table here today guys, the Gletscher Mosin Nagant. Now this is one of the more realistic rifle replicas that we have here. Full bolt action, just like the real thing. You even can see the back of the bolt slam forward when you pull the trigger. You get the adjustable sight. You even get the bayonet on here, which is super awesome. You pull that guy back, slide it all the way forward, flip him past the tip of the barrel, and you're good to go. You can go to war with this thing guys. This is a ton of fun, a BB repeater. Kind of an odd style magazine, one CO2 cartridge, but works very well and is a ton of fun. Has a very realistic way to check this one out. Next up are only non-CO2 gun on the table today. This is the Diana Mauser Model K98, obviously modeled after the K98 rifle. This is a very, very realistic spring gun replica, obviously with some features that you're not going to see on a firearm, namely the scope rail, but still a very true to scale and feel rifle. Now this is an under lever, or of course you have your under lever here. You have your breech here to load your pellets, 22 caliber. This is actually going to be good enough to hunt small game with. It's very accurate and you do have that scope rail if you want to get the most precision out of it. So if you like the feel of a K98 and you're looking for something with good power to it, this is a great replica to have in your collection. Last but certainly not least, another one in the Umarex Legends line. This is the MP40. We actually did a full review on this gun. This is a BB full auto blaster, tons of fun. Obviously replicates the real steel German version quite well. Even has that blowback here that bolt reciprocates. This thing is a ton of fun. It's a 52 round BB magazine, tons and tons of shots, two CO2 cartridges. You do have the fold under stock here as well. You can even get a weathered version. Comes with a sling, tons of fun, very realistic replica, great backyard blaster that you're definitely going to want to check out.

The Marine Corps martial arts program hones better warriors through physical and mental discipline. A decade after the program's creation, Marines are throwing their skills around Cleveland. Four martial arts instructors from Marine Corps Base Quantico are giving Clevelanders a taste of Marine Corps hand-to-hand techniques. Three of the instructors are third-degree black belts in the program, led by fourth-degree black belt Staff Sergeant Tommy Lee, who spends hours every day improving his skills and those of his fellow Marines. You're honing the whole aspect, not just teaching anybody to go out and do the physical aspects, but also teaching them how to present themselves, how to be an ethical warrior. With so many Marines in one place, it's hard for civilians to pass up the opportunity to learn more about the Marine Corps. You guys come into Cleveland interacting with the citizens of this town that helps us to understand the all-around total Marine. During the course of Marine Week, Marines and Clevelanders work together to bring the phrase Community, Country, Corps full circle. For Marine Week Cleveland, I'm Lance Corporal John Tucker.

the PrintoScent checking out the setup that they have right here. So hello, so who are you? Hello, my name is Kari Rankov from VTT, representing PrintoScent. And so what does PrintoScent do? PrintoScent is, we would say, a program or an industrial cluster. We want to promote industrialization and commercialization of printed electronic technologies from laboratory to real industrial products. We have formed an industrial cluster of more than 40 companies, global companies, local companies in Finland, small companies, SMEs, startups, micro companies, where we together look for solving different kinds of bottlenecks in the industrialization of printed electronic technologies. So if I look at this, what is going on here? What is this thing here? We have been working now with several companies in our cluster for large area flexible luminaires, first for general lighting, but also now for these different kind of display applications. The role-to-role facilities in PrintoScent pilot factory, we can do different kind of system architecture. So now your luminaire can be meters or even tens of meter long, or your sensor foils can be different kind of system architecture. So are you from Finland? We are in Finland so that the founding members of PrintoScent is VTT, University of Oulu and University of Applied Science of Oulu and City of Oulu. What is this? This is a demonstrator we did in VTT to demonstrate that we can make this type of variable device fully rolled roll. So we first make the printing of wiring in rolled roll. We add some reality components, bearded components in rolled roll, and then we make the injection molding based on rolled roll feeding. And what is this stuff here? Here we have some several technological demonstrators. For example, here's a user interface from the company called Tactotec, which is part of our community based on emote labeling. We have here, it's not on, but we have here display elements integrated inside the class. So we're looking for example with Bilkington for new type of bus destination displays. We have also variable products. This is product from MoveSold company for making smart insoles, for helping people having diabetes problems to learn how to work the correct way to improve the healing. So what do you think about the ID Tech Act show? I think today, this year, show has been really successful. We have been really busy times. We have made a lot of new companies, a lot of new end user customers to ask us how we have a problem, can you help us? Earlier years it was more like what kind of new stuff you have. So it's been very, very nice show this year.

It's Minion Feuds this week on Movie Feuds as I battle, okay, Minion Feuds, who wrote this one? We're two seconds into the show and the writing's already abysmal. Chast, was it you? Classic Chast. Alright, it's Despicable Me Too versus Cloudy with a chance at meatballs too. Chast, you're fired. Leading things off is none other than Steve Carell reprising his role as Drew. Joining him is a new love interest by the name of Lucy. She's voiced by Kristen Wiig and she works for the Anti-Villain Agency. These two serve their purpose, but Drew always came off to me as a poor man's doctor evil. That's an Austin Powers character for those of you that are eight and watching us. The real reason to watch this though is for the crazy shenanigans the Minions get into. The writers also knew this, and that's why they're front and center this time around. A lot of the plot, a lot of the story revolves around these little f**kers. Sorry I was going to try not to swear because kids could be watching. That's not my fault. Learn what parents do your job. Don't let your six-year-old kid watch a show about two cartoons being reviewed, but okay, I can see how this could be my fault. Benjamin Brad voices the villain, Eduardo, or better known as El Macho. What is that, what is happening right now? Where is this coming from? Some of the SNL cast members lend their voices to Cloudy with a chance at meatballs too, with Bill Hader reprising his role as Flint Lockwood. I've said reprising twice in this episode. I don't think anybody cares though. You've seen the sh** that's on YouTube. This is pretty high quality compared to the rest, right? Right? And showbie poster boy Baby Brent's back again in chicken costume for some of the time. He's voiced by Andy Sandberg. Steve Kahn gets a little bit larger of a role this time as Flint Lockwood's dad. And it actually just occurred to me that Steve the Monkey is voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. This movie just went up a notch. Every time NPH is involved, you're going to get my attention. We can't forget Sam Sparks, voiced by Anna Faris. And although Mr. T didn't come back as the cop, we got Terry Crews. That's better. I think it's better. Will Forte plays our villain, not Steve Jobs. It's Steve Jobs. R.I.P. As far as Casco, it's pretty hard to beat the Minions, although Cloudy too gives them a run for their money with their creative animals, their foodimoles. There's little marshmallow babies and over the top huge strawberry that follows Sam everywhere. She carries them in a little backpack, a little backpack snack, a little back snack, a snack pack, a back snack pack. Is it... Are you writing this down? Oh, no. Snack pack's a thing. Of course it is. And of course there's the infamous Supreme. Let's just go with the tie here. Can we go with the tie? Yeah. I think we can. I think we will. Personally, I think Cloudy too has the more creative storyline. Flint Lockwood's creation from the first flick, the Flintster Flucco Blah Blah Blah, has run amuck and it's creating food animal hybrids. What I like about it is it's not just a rehash of the first natural disaster angle, instead it takes a fresh... pun... approach by going with monster flicks. Which of course leads to a lot of great food puns and if there's one thing I like more than anything else in the world, it's a good food pun. I'll let you relish on that thought. Now don't let my positivity sway away from despicable me too just yet because there's a fun story there as well. Since the whole moon fiasco from the first flick, Groo has turned a new leap. He's in the jam making business now. He's a jammer. Unfortunately, an Arctic base goes missing and they need Groo's help to find out the mystery man behind the scenes. I think Groo's a bit more fun as a villain, but I suppose it's good he's setting an example for his children. Worst case scenario, he starts a stupid YouTube show about kids movies. He talks about them, looks at all the negative comments and low subscription, spirals down and hill into a sad depression. Darkness fills his life, no friends, no family, no love. All he has is his camera and his winning personality. It's not going to get him very far though, folks, because the views are dwindling. All hope is lost, nothing's left. What am I talking about right now? Oh yes, movie feuds, subscribe. The evil minion reveal at the end is a nice twist, although it goes by a bit too fast. I wouldn't have minded seeing these guys tear up the city a bit. I will give despicable me two major props on the villain though, El Macho. Again, why? What? Where? He died with style, there is no denying that. Taken off chain with a shark and explosives into a volcano? That's how I want to go. That's definitely how I want to go. These are pretty films, that's plain and simple. Vibrant color palettes, glossy overall feel to them, they shine, they're bright. I love them. I love this. This is what happens when I just bullshit. Cloudy 2 has a bit more of a spastic approach to its animation style, reminds me a bit about Madagascar at times, but it's fun. They jump cut all over the place, doing funny looking poses, piece of cake, lot of good action here. In Cloudy 2 we have a ton of inventions and frantic events take place all over at Flynn's new job. We get to see quick battles with various Fudimals like the double bacon cheese spider and a final fight with Chester V showcases a lot of our food friends. Despicable Me 2 contains a lot of good gadgets, let's not forget the lipstick taser. In fact, let's not forget that entire sequence where they kidnap Gru, throw him in the trunk, the minions are chasing after him, I love that, I just love it. Kidnapping is one of my favorite things. Finding an Oprah's type book, Adam's 10 favorite things, kidnapings for sure on there. One or two spot. You get a battle with a chicken, what's not to love? And of course a great final showdown with Adam Macho himself. I don't even know. I don't even know. Music's nothing to write home about, they're both good, but nothing comes close to like a frozen, there's no super addictive song that stays in your head. I've tasked myself to mention Frozen in all my new episodes in the hopes that it will skyrocket all my views to a million by just simple association. Despicable Me has a standard secret agent type of score where Cloudy the Chance of Meatballs matches its quirkiness with uplifting, field-goodery type jams like Lottie D. This is possibly the closest feud I've ever done for me personally. I enjoy both these films quite a bit and they're very equal across all categories. Since I do have to pick a film by law, I'm going to go with Despicable Me 2 and it hurts. Despicable Me 2 is a fun and fast ride from beginning to end and even though the Mesquite Toast and Baby Marshmallows are amazing creations, you just can't beat a good minion. I'm a curious little cabbage to hear your thoughts though. Bank them in the comments below and remember to subscribe because you take pity on me. Just do it, Nike, just make the jump, make the plunge if you must. More than just reviews, this is Minion Feuds. Now I'm doing it accidentally. Chast, you still here? No? Good. I meant it, he's out. He's fired.

What's up everyone take down here back with another video today I'm gonna be sharing with you some of the video games that have been confirmed to be coming out in 2019 that I am most excited for I have five games that are coming out this year It hasn't been announced the release dates are all of them yet one of them's already come out But I'm gonna be getting it sometime in 2019 That's why I wanted to add it to this list here because I'm really excited for it But all of these games are not the top games that have been announced for this year this year There's tons of games that are coming out, but these are the five that interest me the most as of right now So let's get right into this Okay, so I'm gonna start off with the one that has already been released It was released on February 15th, and that is a fire cry new dawn I fell in love with fire cry series the first game that I played was fire cry 5 I honestly loved everything about that game. I actually went and beat the whole campaign I have to go back and play and finish off some of the other trophies I never got to play Online the arcade mode and never got to try that yet, but I plan on doing that and going off and platining the game It's very possible to do that as long as you see and follow everything that you need to do for the trophies It's all in all a really fun game The story is amazing and fire cry new dawn is a continuation from where fire cry 5 ended It's I think in the story. It's actually 17 years after the events of fire cry 5 So it's gonna be very exciting to see what happened at the end of fire cry 5 a lot of big stuff happened I don't want to spoil it because I know one of my friends that might watch this video Has not had a chance to play fire cry 5 yet and hasn't seen the ending So I don't want to spoil it for him or anybody else But to see what happens and how fire cry new dawn starts because of what happened at the end of fire cry 5 It's gonna be amazing. I can't wait to check it out But what I've seen so far is it's more of a apocalyptic game, which as you guys know, I love zombie games I love stuff like that end of the world scenario games So fire cry new dawn is definitely on the top of my list that I'm most excited for I can't wait to get it and start trying it out And I'm really excited to see what it has to offer and what kind of story it's all about Next up is one that I know not everybody is a fan of but the reason why I get these games every year is because I have a collection of the past 16 years straight of collecting this video game That is WWE 2k 20 whenever it comes to 2k I know 2k 10 for NBA was a phenomenal game And it seems like at the start of every decade they go all out So I'm assuming WWE 2k 20 is gonna be a phenomenal game And they're gonna go all out for it like they did back in 2010. So I'm really excited to see what they do for the game I've loved the game. Like I said, I've collected the game for 16 years now So it's gonna be pretty exciting to see and continue my series and continue collecting that game Next one for me. I am a huge fan of NHL. So I'm really excited for NHL 20 for me I only get an NHL video game every two years that way. I have a long time to play the game I've been I've been playing NHL 18 for a while now Multiple and multiple seasons worth of gameplay and gameplay hours and everything and just so much fun So now it's time to upgrade to the next game and NHL 20 is gonna be that for me So I'm really excited to get that game to see what it's about I'm hoping EA does similar thing whenever it comes to sports games like 2k does and for the start of a decade To start off really strong with a phenomenal game. I really want to see how they compare with how 2k does it At the start of a decade as well. The next game here has been confirmed But it has not been announced on the exact release date and that is need for speed underground 3 I honestly love need for speed. It's one of my favorite series need for speed payback I honestly was not a fan of it didn't have that need for speed feeling in it It wasn't the same as some of the old games, but need for speed underground 3 is one of the Series that I started on back whenever I had the PlayStation 2 back whenever I started to get into the need for speed series Underground was one of my favorite games and back then I was getting so many need for speed games There was so much fun So I'm hoping with need for speed underground 3 that they are basically going back to their roots And it's more of a street racing mentality in the game and a story and stuff like that kind of like fast and The furious that's what I used to love about these franchise So I'm hoping they go back to their roots and do something like that That would be very creative to see them to actually do I love the story for need for speed 2015 I kind of like the story for need for speed payback But the fact that it's in Vegas is pretty interesting, but the gameplay itself is not the greatest So that's the main reason why I like to see them go back to their roots Maybe in New York Maybe LA something like that and a whole bunch of street racing would be nice to see and a whole bunch of new Customization options to make a wicked drift car street racer something phenomenal like you see in the fast and furious franchise And the last one here is over kills the walking dead. I am a walking dead fan I've already explained that I love this kind of style of video game where it's kind of the end of the world And it's a survival game is also what I'm interested in so this game here I've seen a lot of gameplay you have a basically a camp and that seems to be your mission hub Whole bunch of stuff to do open world You can go and play how you will but you have to go and do the certain missions and beat those certain missions But by the sounds of it you can go and do them however you want Sadly for over kills the walking dead. It was supposed to be released in 2018 That got pushed back until February 2019 and then that has just been pushed back into an unknown time right now So it's unknown when it's gonna come out. It's supposed to be out in 2019 I hope it does because I'm really excited for this game and I really want to play it This game here is for a person co-op and it looks like it's gonna be phenomenal It's the same experience you'd get if you were playing it on your own if you play it with friends So that's what I really like to see the last of us even though it was a great story and a great campaign The online portion of it whenever you're playing with friends in my opinion Socked it had no zombies in it so over kills. It's gonna be more of a survival Situation whenever you can play with your friends. I think that's gonna be phenomenal There's some more zombie games that are coming out this year, but as a walking dead fan and it's set in the walking dead universe I really would like to see what exactly is going to happen with the new characters You kind of know how the zombies are gonna act the walkers by watching the show and reading the comics and everything about that So it's gonna be pretty nice to see What exactly is the game about but like I said it's been pushed back till an unknown time I hope it is released by the end of 2019 I really would like to see that by the end of the year so I can purchase it and start playing it because I'm really excited for this game So these have been the five video games that I'm most excited for for 2019 like I said one of them has already come out two of them have not been announced and the two sports games NHL 20 and WWE 2k 20 they always come out every single year So you know they're gonna come out It's just I don't know who's on the cover right now And I don't know the exact release date of the games and what's gonna be in the game So I'm really excited for all these games Comment down below what games for 2019 you are most excited for yourself, and I really want to see what you guys think I know there's a lot of games coming out of this year that are very Interesting and I'd like to play and like to see but these are the five games if I'm only gonna get five These are the five games. I'm definitely going to get I am gonna leave this video here because did enjoy I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace

The President of the Council of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIB and Ken O'Para has called for an evolutionary change in doing business in the country. Aparah said this at the 15th Annual Banking and Finance Conference in Abuja, a correspondent in Abuja, Emanuel Ehejene, filed in this report. Present at the conference are the representatives of the President and Minister of Finance, Projects and National Planning, Zainab Hamad, Representative of Speaker, Femig Bejabiamila, Governor of the CBN, Bankers and Order Invited Guest. The theme for this year's conference is repositioning the financial services industry for an evolving global contest. Chairman of the Council, Dr. Ken O'Para, in his opening remarks, said there is the need for the financial services industry to evolve new ways and strategy to deal with changes caused by unforeseen natural disasters like the COVID-19 and climate change. What mechanism are in place to address the issue of cybercrime associated with advancement of new technology? Of what advance are banks, services and product to the future of banking? What is the role of ethics and professionalism in evolving economy? The President, who was represented by the Minister of Finance Zainab Hamad, helped on the need to address the problems associated with climate change as it recommended the abolition of corrosion lighting in Nigeria by 2030. The theme for this year's conference is repositioning the financial services sector for an evolving global context is most apt in view of the need to constantly adapt to internationally acceptable best practices to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in the sector in playing its primary role upon the financial assets, financial intermediation, as well as capital formation. Other speakers at the event uploaded the banking sector for the progress it made in the last five, six years, which have led to awareness and interest in investment in the country. Our systems and processes have made it exceptionally easy for our elites to bank globally and for global elites to bank in Nigeria. Let me put it in a different way. An investor in Norway will find it easier to use a Nigerian bank than a farmer in Ninghi, local government or poultry state. Working for TGI and some of our rural operations have come to realize that as we embrace a global system, we have somewhat abandoned many of our local compatriots. These factors are combining to dampen consumption and investment and contain government expenditures with implication for the banking activities. The time is right for the sector to re-strategize for better repositioning. There is no game saying that the financial services sector plays a critical role in facilitating economic activities in a modern system. The event is expected to continue tomorrow with wide range issues, tabled for discussion on ways to improve the banking sector to watch the ever-evolving world. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Look in, Shane, congratulations. Well done. Thanks, my name's John, appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Now, were you getting into the water at half three on Monday morning? How are you feeling? Were you apprehensive? Were you scared? Were you confident? I would say apprehensive and scared. The confidence kind of left me a wee bit to be perfectly honest because you know you're on the boat at three a.m and it's a three-mile boat journey during the coast to try and get the right tide and all you can see is just darkness in front of you other than the lights that are shining out in the boat and obviously the boat's not small enough to come into the coast so you must get into a dingy room and you know part of the stipulations on the rules are that you know it's a non-wetted swim so you're in a pear speed, it was one hat, one pair of goggles and that's it and I guess the big thing that I didn't necessarily factor in, I knew the water was going to be cold but it was 17 degrees so that was that was pretty good because you mentioned the qualifying swim, the qualifying swim had to be done on sub-15 and we did it importantly in 14.8 Celsius so the temperature in the water was like two and a half degrees warmer than it was important to but I didn't factor in the air temperature and the air temperature at that time in the morning and over it was like six seven degrees so I got a real chill at the start of the swim you know and I had that chill the whole way and the first two hours were just horrendous they were just horrific I just I didn't want to be there I didn't I just wanted to get out and I looked up at my boat crew at about the two hour mark so I had set out a sheet a feeding schedule because you have to be fed from the boat you're not allowed to touch the boat you're not allowed out of the water and so you've basically been fed on a string and it's it's liquid energy and snickers and energy bars and gels so I had my first feed after 90 minutes and then it was a feeding schedule of every 45 minutes and at the two hour mark I just I looked up and there was three people standing there was my friend Jane there was my best mate in Asia who's been on the on the journey with me for two years and then there was my wife Karen who's been on the journey with me forever um and they just all looked up and he said you have to keep going and Karen just shouted she was like look it's sunrise sunrise is coming she says swim to swim until it's light and then see how you feel and thankfully that was the darkest moment that I had and I could see the pink light on the horizon and I was like you know actually this has given me a bit of a lift now and then when the sun came and then it made a hell of a lot of difference there was a few other moments but after that I never thought about getting out I never thought about not finishing um but yeah at that 3 30 in the morning the confidence was just absolutely shocked just full of self-doubt full of apprehension full of fear so they they could tell it to our mark that you were it was touch and go yeah yeah they knew and I looked up and they couldn't see obviously because it was dark I've goggles on um I have to be honest I tears me eyes I was like you know and look and John I'm an out and out pool swimmer you know I'm just one I've just won 40 almost 42k in the English Channel and I'm still not a sea swimmer and I'll never be a sea swimmer you know uh so I was like I was dreaming of the 25 degrees chlorinated waters of the Virgin active in Fulham or rivers your waters in Strava and I was like no this is not for me just take me out I'm done but thankfully I stayed in and I lasted I lasted another nine and a half hours that wasn't too bad yeah absolutely because I suppose it would have been in such a shame and and I'm sure this part of this was going through your head and that you done all the training and I'm sure you've trained for I don't know for how long for this but you've done all the training and all the hard work and all the prep and everybody's there and and to back out you know it would have been it would have been just such a letdown and such a disappointment for you and others so small things like that probably go through your head and then determine you know what you do and whether you should push on or not sorry I think I just lost you there all right what I'm saying is to have put in so much effort to get to that point two hours and it would have been such a shame to just to get back on the boat oh absolutely and and you know um I think at one point I had swam the best part of like from from kind of January February this year and that's not counting what I've done the previous year I swam almost uh 500 kilometers 500,000 meters and as a competitive pool swimmer international swimmer I mean that I would have probably yeah well Shane's Shane's the link to Shane seems to have stalled there so that's uh that's a shame um maybe we could it's a it's a different type of change just back on the on the phone uh as opposed to in a video link just to punish the conversation because it's uh it is it's some achievements I've been able to cross the channel in fact fewer people have swam the English channel than have claimed Mount Everest

In today's video, we're opening 10 pack third party blisters from a long time ago. What's up guys? We're back with another old school opening and these are a little bit too large to lay down. It's kind of hitting my tripod, but that's okay. Inside it's GX packs, so it's got to be pretty old at this point. It's an interesting blister. These were originally $35.99 according to that price sticker, which you guys can't see very well. I'll show you guys like that. $35.99. Inside there are 10 packs. These look to be a Canadian products. We have a Canada address right there. A little bit dusty in there. Okay, a little dust action. It means they've been in there a while. That's a good sign, I guess. We've got glass, we've got power of the doulas, cyber dark impact, tactical evolution. These are first dead packs too. And then you get a couple foils like zero the mant from premium packs. So I guess that came out in 2008. So these are at least from 2008 or newer, but not that much newer because we're looking at first dead packs. So I'm guessing they're pretty old. But before we open them up, we do have a giveaway. I'm giving away these four cards. Heavy Storm, Demise, King of Armageddon. We have an invader of the darkness secret rare and 1000 dragon secret rare. Just like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know down below. Your favorite pack in any of these are a lot of GX options. Duals pack anybody? Okay, obviously not. So we have two of these. So it's a total of 20 packs. There are different packs in these, but there's like glass, we've got tactical evolution. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff. So we'll just do one at a time. Let's start off with the zero the mant one that we checked out earlier. All right, here are we get foils apparently. So I guess they're both in here. We got a zero the mant. I'm guessing another premium pack hollow. Okay, no, it's just another special edition promo from force of the breaker. So okay, that can give us I think it was 2007 when that came out. So it doesn't give us really too much info on the date. Zero is really cool. If this was secret rare, this would be amazing. But yeah, just the super rare version. I like how they just put it in a sleeve, which is pretty funny. Then we have our packs, which contain power of the dualists. That's unlimited. We've got a dualist pack, J. Newke glad he just sold first dad a magic formula, something like that. We got tactical evolution. We're going to get a ghost. We have Jesse Anderson, force of the breaker, first dad, another tactical evolution, cyber dark impact, cyber dark impact power of the dualist unlimited. So for some reason, power of the dualist is the only unlimited. Let's start with cyber dark impact because you know, it's the least exciting unless this is a hobby pack. What's let's look, I don't actually know this one off the top of my head. So you guys know now if you want, you know, if you know those off the top of your head, or if you want to look it up, if these are hobby or not, maybe we'll find out and pull a cyber dark dragon ulti. If we did, that would probably be the craziest pull ever because it's one pack. We have a Baki, we have chain detonation, dark Lucian, we get any ulti's out of these or secrets. We're going to be happy. Bear statue of the heavens. No, thank you. Straight flush. We got stray Asmodeon and a combo master started off with just a rare. All right, power of the dualist unlimited. We have opened many power of the dualist before, but not a ton of unlimited. Actually, we had a lot of first dead that we've opened up on the channel unlimited. I wouldn't be mad if we pulled an ulti and unlimited either. That'd be pretty cool, especially if it's a dark Nios flair Nios, something like that. Destiny Mirage. You have a bite lawn, decoy roe, a fossil excavation, alien gray, the spirit, flying saucer and cosmic or gangie. I actually just sold this an ulti on TCG the other day. So interesting to see that it's always fun to open these old like third party blisters because you at least have a strong hope that they're on weight. So it's like, okay, they've been in this blister for a long time. What they were repackaged originally. So you know, something could happen at that point, but unlikely in 2007, people were like weighing these kind of packs over limit, which it is really hard to weigh it like these kind of, that's like the poly, but like, not really. We have a Nios alias and mirror gates and nothing in that Jade and Yuki three pack. Not that I think you can really pull anything at all out of that pack. It's pretty bad. Okay, we're going to circle back to cyber dark impact, save the big ones for the end. We're going to do the duelist packs, probably the duelist cyber dark impact stuff. We've opened a lot of first and we're going to save the big ones for after we have a linear accelerator cannon. We got a Bakke. Let's get an ultimate rare. We got detonation. We got dark Lucius, no level four, ritual foregone, combo fighter, the flame ogre. We have a vanity's call and over so far it is not a great start. We do have one more duelist pack and a power of the duelist. Let's do these Jesse Anderson crystal beasts anybody. I know you guys love crystal beast. Here we go. Triggered summon. I think it's the next guard. Amber mammoth. Here we go. Let's see autopath tiger. Groovy car muggle. Okay. They just all got like war reprints. So I'm guessing the comments aren't really valuable. Okay, but now we're on to the real stuff. Okay, we've got to, well, I guess take it that we have one more power duelist. Then we have one glass glass pack, two tack gloves, Lucian, one force of the breaker. I mean, that's fun stuff. Power of the duelist. I'm not overlooking you. I promise. I promise I'm not overlooking you. There's going to be something good. We have four from the back. We have Defender. We have Blade Master, Common Soul, Destiny Mirage. We have Wundergarage, Elemental Euroneos, De-Spirit. We've got the Flying Saucer, Musik, and oh, a dogma. Our first foil of the opening, Destiny Hero Dogma. Very nice. Hey, I mean, technically not our first foil because we did have two right here. So I guess we have three now, technically. Okay, the big ones. We do have two tactical evolutions. So let's do that one first. First add tactical evolution. Could have a Ghost Share, Rainbow Dragon. It could have Elemental Hero, Dark Bright, Boom. Cool stuff. Let's see if we can pull them. We pulled this Rainbow Dragon, I think it was like three years ago at this point. One, two, three. I think it's four. I don't want to risk it. Let's do three. We have Alien Shock Trigger. Very cool. Perversive Neos. This is a very small set. I remember seeing these a lot. Revitic Orb. We have the next. Crystal's Larva. The Venom Burn. Come on, Ghost Share. We have Venom Serpent. Come on, come on, come on. Destructive Draw. All right. And the Double Summon. I think this is still a money rare, but by money, I mean a dollar. Okay, okay. Now what we're looking for, can we get a big foil? Force of the Breaker first add. We open an entire Blister Box. Let me go watch that. I mean, 20 different Blisters for open first set, Force of the Breaker. If you want to see more GX action after this, I'll probably have my GX playlist shared, which is just all GX stuff. I think it is this, but I'm just going to do that. All right. We have a Volcanic Scatter Shot. We have Crystal Riot Gang. Let's get an Ultimate Rare. Seekers of the Gallant. We got a Secret Rare in that other video, so let's see if we can do that again. Plays Accelerator. Mass Hypnosis. Very cool. Michael, Master of Barriers. We have Crystal Promise and Volcanic Shell, which now is a 25th anniversary rare for some reason. All right. We are officially one for eight on this opening. We have Glass and Tidecloth Evolution. I guess we'll do, let's just save Glass. Glass just has so much potential. First add. Man, it's a little bent up. Maybe that means, maybe it means there's something good inside. I don't know. Probably not, but we'll find out. So what's fourth from the back here on the last one? One, two, three, four. I think that's what we do. We have a Shadow Delver. If we just flipped over and there's a Gosher on the front, that'd be crazy. We have Penny, Strike Slash. We have a Gago Golem. Phantom Cricket. Nex. Crystal's Larva. We have Venom Burn. And is it the next card? Legs, bike. All right. This thing did me in against C-Mo in an Auction Series episode a couple years ago. I do remember that, but no foil. We're saving the best for last. We could get an Error Gosher, regular Gosher. You could get Magic Formal. You could get Necroface. There's so much potential in here. I've never had good luck with it on the channel. Now's the time to start. Got a little bit of the Waxy back. I think it's four, but just to be safe, we're going to do that. We have Swing of Memories. Come on. Give us a memory that we'll remember forever. All right. Memory. That's what you do. Nimbusman. We have these six MRI. Fog control. Come on. Gambler of Legend. Make it a top pull of the year. Light imprisoning. We have an unfortunate report and defensive tactics. This is always the super rare we pull. It's also an ulti. So that would have been awkward, but hey, we at least got a foil. We went two for 10 out of there. That's not great. Not to worry. We have one more to open up. So hopefully the ratios are a little better. All right. Here we go. Our second set of hollows. The only thing you really don't know out of these blisters, which is interesting, is the second hollow because you can see all the packs normally they'll keep some hidden in like secret. There's no sort of mystery to these except the second hollow, which is a Necro Valley, which actually might be valuable because Necro Valley is like crazy money at this point from what is this? DL three. I have no idea what this is. Duelist League. That's actually probably a kind of a rare version of this. I don't think I've ever seen a DL three abbreviation before. All right. So that's pretty fun. Also in this one, there's no duelist packs. There's Cyberdark impact. There's power, the duelist unlimited. There's two force of the breaker, two tack levels and two glass. So we just get a bunch of good stuff out of this, which is exciting. Now we just need some good pulls. Here we go. Bad pulls in the first one. Our chances are here and now for the second one. Here we go. One, two, three, four. We have Byroad Sacrifice. We have Barrier Statue, Linear Accelerator, Abaki, Barrier Statue, Chainstrike, Barrier Statue again. Come on, Justiebreaker and a flash of the forbidden spell. I've once pulled an ulti and I think I got a nine when I graded it. Okay. Cyberdark impact. Let's just do the second Cyberdark impact back to back. Let's do that. We're going to go straight through, I think, because we got some good stuff here. They're all pretty exciting, even the ones that we've opened a lot. One, two, three, four. Can we get that Cyberdark Dragon? We have Infiltrator, Countercleaner, Allure Queen level three, Barrier Statue, the Storm Runs. That used to be money. I don't know if it still is. Combo Fighter, Flame Ogre, Vanity's Call. We have the Cyber Ogre and an Ultimate Rare, Degenerate Circuit. Okay. So these appear to be retail packs, at least these Cyberdark impact are. Degenerate Circuit. Okay. It is an ulti, probably not crazy value, but hey, I'm taking an ulti. I said I wanted an ulti, so there's a plus. If we can get a second one, that'd be great. All right. Power the duelist. Let's see if we can pull back to back ultimate rares, because out of this set, it's Ultras and Ultis with a high rarity basically. So there's not a ton. We have Alien Hunter, Brainwashing Beam, Miracle Jurassic Ag, Mausoleum with Alien Grey, D-Spirit, Flying Saucer, Wave Elements of Huronios, and we've got a Chimeratech Over Dragon, which by the way, this is an ultra. It kind of looks like a rare. This is an ultra rare Chimeratech Over Dragon. Hey, we've been hunting for this card in Ultimate Rare. So technically this doesn't end the hunt, but this is really cool. It's a very subtle ulti. Is this like a European pack or something? Looks a lot different for some reason, but hey, ultra rare, not ultimate. Very cool. Did I say subtle ulti? I'm going to say subtle ultra. All right. Second pack. So we've got an ulti and an ultra, which by the way, an ultra out of this set is one in 24. Ultis are one in 12, so it's actually harder to pull an ultra than it is an ulti. So, hey, we're on a hot streak right now. Let's see if we can go back to back, see if we can get an ulti here instead of an ultra. We have Destiny Mirage. Let's go. We have Destiny Hero Blade Master, Crop Circles, Rallis, Black Terra, Flying Saucer, Paths of Destiny. We have D-Spirit, and we have an alien warrior rare. Still six packs left. We have Force of the Breaker, First Ed. There's some really cool ultimate rares in this set. There's also secret rares in this set. All the last three sets here actually do have secret rares, unlike the other GX sets we were just opening. Terrible deal. Okay, let's give us a good deal here. Let's pull something crazy. Volcanic Recharge, Magna Slash Dragon, Blaze Accelerator. We have Mass Hypnosis, Maiko Master of Barriers. We have a Sky Scourge in the cell. Super. I thought there was two more cards there. There's no drama in that one. I just threw a sleeve. But, hey, we got a super and this is one of the most subtle supers you can see. It's like the belt and the little like buttons there only. A lot of these are packs you don't see open very often anymore, especially First Ed GX. I mean, it's really hard to get these these days. So, this is a pretty fun opening. It's exciting because it's a third party blister. It actually has a good variety of packs inside. So, overall, pretty awesome opening. Hopefully, we'll actually get some crazy here to end. Secret of the Gallant, we have Volcanic Blaster, Tornado, Crystal Blessing. We have Hard Cell and Zombie, Gravecrush Dragon, Wildfire. Is it the next card? Oh, secret rare! Diabolos, King of the Abyss, First Edition. All right. Let's go. That is one of the best secret rares you can get out of Force of the Breaker. Now we're talking. All right. That is insane. Sinnering does not look like it's probably worth grading. It's probably going to get a nine if we do that. But overall, a really cool secret rare. That is an amazing pull. Four packs left. Let's see if we can get a little secret rare luck out of Tactical Abolition or Ghost Rare or Ultimate Rare. Let's go. I can't live without a secret out of one of these. That's actually absurd. All right. That is amazing. One, two, three, four. I mean, we know they're on wade. So let's see if we can continue that luck. We have Gravitic Orb, Ambush Fangs. We have a Ranged Gatekeeper of Dark World, Cocoon Party, the Dawn Breaker Gardener, Convert Contact, Dark Aphagey. We have Hero Counter Attack. Is it next? Oh, a Necro Gardener. Super Rare. We're definitely picking up on at least the ratios of foils here. Lots of supers in here. We got a secret rare, Ultra Rare, Ultimate Rare. Man, we've had some, we've pulled every rarity out of these except Ghost. We've now pulled Super, Ultra, Secret, and Ulti. We just need that Ghost Rare. Tactical Abolition, Rainbow Dragon. This would be the craziest 10-pack blister ever if we got all of the rarities. That would be absurd. Can we get that Rainbow Dragon for the second time on the channel? Mine got a nine last time, so I wouldn't mind pulling a PSA-10 or a PSA-7. I wouldn't care. Venom Shot, but it'd be cool to get a 10. We got Pyron, Seizure, Alien Shock Trooper. We got Venom Cricket. Next, Crystal's Larva. We have Venom Burn and we have a Oceans Keeper. I don't remember this card. I've opened a lot of this set and I do not remember this guy. All right, so pulling the Ghost Rare is going to come down the glass, and guess what? They have an area of Ghost Rare, so I would not be mad to pull that. That would be the first time, for sure, I've ever pulled that. I've never even pulled a regular Ghost out of here, so either one would be ridiculous. Lattie is just sold. Always a weird set to open up. A lot of times, they are messed with, but it seems like these are pretty legit. Cloudy and Nimbusman. Release from Stone. Let's see what we can get. Cloudy and Turbulence. Look at all that edgeware on the side of these cards. You can see it right there. Crazy edgeware on some of these Cums. Contact out. I think it was the contact out that had them. Divinity Dart, Swift Strike Armor. No, maybe it's this one too. Chamber of the Sixth Samurai. And we have, oh, a Cell Explosion Virus. Also very off-center. Look at this. Very large and very small at the bottom. Okay, our final pack. This has been a really fun opening. I'm lucky to have gotten a Secret Rare. So it's gone really well, I would say. If we get something crazy out of here, it'd be the perfect ending. Let's see if we can end it with an amazing Gladiators of Soul Pull. I've never had good luck with it. Now's the time to start, right? Now's the time. We have Cloudy and Turbulence. We have the Soul Devouring Bamboo Sword. Gladiators Return. Stilproied. Infinity Dark. Swift Strike Armor. We have the Chamber of the Sixth Samurai. Also very miscut. We have the Fog Control. And finally, we have another defensive tactic. You can't make this up. The same card. Oh my gosh. This card, I think they seeded like a hundred of these per booster box. You literally are guaranteed to get at least one every time you open a pack of Gladiators of Soul. But hey, it's a foil. We'll take it. And if you enjoyed the video, make sure to subscribe to the channel for more content like this. Not bad, honestly. Pretty good.

October 29 9 a.m. Worship Service - The Stigma That Sticks
|
Unitarian Universalism’s First Principle affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, but many who suffer from mental or emotional illnesses aren’t treated that way and, as a consequence feel diminished in their personhood. On this weekend prior to All Souls Day we’ll explore these maladies through a cultural lens and discuss what needs to change.
The Society Choir will sing Remembering by Brian Schultz and Little Elegy by Stephen Paulus.

It has to be an overcast toy. Do you need one of those in 4K? It's not the K, it's the Loom. I don't know what, I'm curious what Loom we have. I think it's a 30 year, like 32 year, 23 year. I don't know, I'm curious. I don't know. Can you switch back to the same position? The same position. Yes, twice a year. That's so perfect. What time is it? Sometimes 8.47. The voice sounds terrible. I think we don't have to pay. I don't know. How do you feel otherwise? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I would like to invite you into a few moments of centering silence. Please remain seated and join in the in-gathering hymn in your program number 391. Good morning. Welcome to the 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 and connections of each individual as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. My name is Dorit Bergen. I'm filling in for Maureen. On behalf of the congregation, I would like to extend a special welcome to visitors. We are a welcoming congregation. So whoever you are and wherever you are on your life's journey, we celebrate your presence among us. Visitors are encouraged to stay in service and look for people carrying teal stoneware mugs. These are FUS members knowledgeable about our programs and community life, and they look forward to the chance to speak with you this morning. You can also stop by our information table outside of the library where you can find more information about our upcoming events and programs. In this lively, acoustical environment, it can become difficult for those in attendance to hear what is happening in our service. So we remind you that our Child Haven and Common's area are excellent places to go when anyone needs to talk or move around. The service can still be seen and heard from those areas. We do have hearing assistance devices available. Please see one of our ushers if that would be helpful for you. And this would be a good time to turn off all electronic devices that might disrupt the service. Experienced guides are generally available to give a building tour after each service, so if you would like to learn more about this sustainably designed addition or our National Landmark Meeting House, please meet near the large glass window on the left side of the auditorium. I'd now like to acknowledge those individuals who help our services run smoothly. On sound this morning, we have Mary Manoring. The lay minister is John McEvna. Your greeter was Corinne Perron. Your ushers were Ken Gage, Brian Chanis, and Tom Dolmage. Making coffee for us this morning, Bess Nitschke and Terry Felton. And the tour guide person, I believe, will be John Powell. Please note the announcements on the red floors insert in your order of service, which describe upcoming events at the society and provide more information about today's activities. Again, welcome. We hope that today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and stir your spirit. This church is not a place of rigid convictions, of immutable truths or abstract theologies. This is a community of those who have lived and suffered loss, and who wish to develop greater courage and compassion. This is a congregation where the strands of our ideals, our hopes, and our sympathies form a cable strong enough to bear us across those deep valleys of fear, grief, pain, and disillusionment. Each of us has experienced such places, or we surely will. And by joining together, we gain strength, which is why we gather in this special place, a people alive with curiosity and earnest to be responsive to one another's needs. I invite you to rise in body and spirit for the lighting of our chalice. Our words of affirmation this morning are responsive, so if you will join in repeating the bolded sections. May this house be a sanctuary, a safety zone, a place of rest, and a house of peace. To that end, may we inspire the young and fortify the old. Let this house be sanctified by what happens here. And in the spirit of that healing, I turn to your neighbor on this coolish late October day in exchange with them a warm greeting. Please be seated. It is our custom at the end of the month to set aside a few moments in the first part of the hour for the sharing of joys and sorrows, a time for members and friends and even visitors to our congregation to relate to the entire gathered community, some special event or circumstance that has affected your life or the life of someone close to you in recent days or weeks. General announcements, news items, and partisan appeals are discouraged during joys and sorrows. So for the next few minutes, anyone who wishes is invited to step to the front of the auditorium and light a candle in one of the two candelabras to my left or my right. And then using the microphone provided by our lay ministers, share your name if that feels comfortable, as well as your brief message. Please note that our services are live-cast, so listeners are not restricted to those who are sitting in this room. Please also come forward and wordlessly light a candle of commemoration and simply return to your seat. And so now I do open the floor for the sharing of these significant matters of our lives. Morning, my name is John Woods. Two years ago, this month, my mother passed away. And last month, on September 28th, we attended the marriage of my son, Christopher. I light this candle in honor of my father, who brought me music. My name's Mary Rendell. I found out that a friend of mine, really a friend of my ex, died a month ago leaving his wife and his son, who's basically been bedridden for a decade. I'm lighting this candle for Alice Otsuka. She was like a second mother to me growing up, and it was always a home that I could go to in my youth and feel welcome and loved. She is suffering from cancer. She has stroke cancer, and the treatments are actually causing a lot of complications for her right now, so this is for her. Ready for Hamilton? My name is Amy Schultz, and my husband, Dave Waylo, and I, went to share a joy. Our son, Louis Schultz-Waylo, and his girlfriend, Jenna, just arrived in Santiago, Spain today. They hiked the Camino, and they started in Arles, France in mid-September. So anyway, they made it there today. Lillian is happy for her friends. I'm Laura Hanson, and this is Isaiah Hanson, and we just moved to town, and we're very happy to share a joy today, that we got to be together with our whole family to celebrate my mother, Dar Hanson's birthday, who's listening online right now. John, if you would light one more candle to signify all of those unspoken joys or sorrows. We hold those with equal concern and tenderness in our hearts. Please join me in the spirit of meditation. As October draws to a close, and autumn's last adamant leaves are whipped from their branches by the galloping wind. As scarves and caps come out of storage and storm windows replace the screens that once invited summer into our homes. As squadrons of geese set out for southern destinations, an earthbound squirrel's hastened to provide against the dire straits of winter. At such a time as this, do our thoughts return to things past, to life retreating, and to life that is no more. A piece of us is never prepared for winter, never reconciled to departure and to death. Long into November, our hearts protest summer's passing, the end of warm days and fragrant nights, shirt sleeve strolls along lush lake and river banks. Likewise, on this weekend before all hallows, images of old dear companions who once graced the summer of our lives were crowed in upon our memories. Let us not be hasty to push them out again. Let us not be charry of the sadness and the regret that their presence evokes. May these brave and lovely spirits live again in our tender thoughts for our recollections attest to their enduring importance. And they prove that death and distance are powerless to sever the bonds that connect truly loving hearts. And now I would have us recall those members and former members of First Unitarian Society who have passed away during the past year. These are their names. Mark Hoover, Lillian Redding, Anne Nelson, David Stuckey, Charles Bentley, Orville Stretch Lilliquist, John Foles, Fran Bicnell, Gabriel Rochester, Jack Fervor, Carol Miller, Elaine Burns, and Mary Mickey. Let us continue on in a moment or two of silent meditation as we commemorate those who are no longer among us. Blessed be and amen. And as we sing hymn 322, we would invite our children to leave for their classes. Verses 1, 2, and 5, please be seated. We continue with a notice that appeared in the Buddhist journal, Lion's Roar. Michael Stone passed suddenly from this world on July 16. The story of what led to this moment is complex and it's heartbreaking. Michael Stone was loved for his brilliant mind and his generous heart. He was an eminent Buddhist and yoga teacher, author, an uncommon activist, an uncommon human being. He shone brightly and was the bedrock of a community of yoga and meditation practitioners, first in Toronto, and then to an expanded international community. If you met or studied with Michael, you would remember him as wise, charismatic, and poetic. He seemed unshakable and capable of holding everyone else's suffering, and he did, but he struggled with his own suffering. Michael lived with bipolar disorder his whole life, and bipolar disorder is characterized by a fluctuation between normalcy, mania, and depression. Along with his lust for life was an impulsivity that he struggled to quell through yoga and Buddhist practice. His brain was rapid fire, wide open, and that was part of his brilliance at his sensitive nature. Michael came to spiritual practice innately at a very young age and then to formal study as a teenager. It was also a way for him to take care of his mental health, and for a long time he was well enough to resist the diagnosis, to stay balanced naturally through his spiritual practice and self-care, but as things got worse he began to open up to family and friends and to seek medical care. He established self-care routines. He exercised, went to bed early, ate a special diet. He saw naturopaths, herbalists, trainers, therapists. He continued his daily practice. As things worsened he turned to psychiatry and medication as well, and balancing his meds was ever-changing and precarious. He struggled to be open with those around him about how much and how deeply he struggled. Michael really did try, but as versed as he was with the silence around mental health issues in our culture, Michael feared the stigma of his diagnosis. He was just on the cusp of revealing publicly how shaped he had been by bipolar disorder and how he was doing unbeknownst to everyone, he was growing more and more desperate. So on July 13th he got a haircut, he exercised, he ran household errands, and finally he acquired a street drug. Initial toxicology tests suggested he had opioids, including fentanyl in his system. He was found around midnight of that night unresponsive. It was easy to shake one's head and think, what a shame. Culturally we don't have enough language to talk about this. Rather than feel the shame and the tragedy of it, can we find the right questions to ask? What can we do for ourselves and others who have impulses and behaviors that we have difficulty understanding, impulses that may scare us, that may silence us? And how, above all, can we take care of each other? The second reading is a brief poem, Noon Walk on the Asylum Lawn by Anne Sexton. Anne Sexton was a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, a writer of children's books and plays, and she too suffered from bipolar disorder, and in 1974, at the age of 46, she took her own life. The summer sun ray shifts through a suspicious tree. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow, it sucks the air and it looks around for me. The grass speaks. I hear green chanting all day. I will fear no evil, fear no evil. But the blades extend and reach my way. The sky breaks. It sags and it breathes upon my face in the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies. The world is full of enemies, and there is no safe place. I found occasion a few nights ago to watch a film that I had first seen when it was released in 2012. Many of you have probably seen it as well. Silver Linings Playbook. It s a romantic comedy. It ended up with eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. It is an engaging movie, funny and poignant by turns and populated by exceptional actors. Although romantic comedy is a familiar and perhaps overworked genre, and while this film remained true to form in many respects, what set it apart was its treatment of mental illness. Pat Solitano is a high school teacher. He s bipolar. He has just been released from the hospital after a six-month commitment. Tiffany Maxwell. She copes with unresolved grief and depression in the aftermath of her policeman husband s unexpected death. And these are not caricatures. Pat and Tiffany s struggles are believable, and they provoke sympathy rather than snickers from viewers. Yes, there are scenes of high humor, but the couple s mental afflictions are treated with unusual sensitivity. A decade earlier, another film with a similar focus won the Oscar for Best Picture. A Beautiful Mind. It traces the career of the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash, who developed schizophrenia in his early 20s and battled that disease throughout his career. Although that film did contain some inaccuracies, it did give the broader public an opportunity to see what it would be like to live as and with someone who was suffering from a severe mental disorder. Other features in recent years have followed a similar pattern. Michael Clayton. Take Shelter, being two notable examples. And contrast this with the way that filmmakers treated the subject before. Think of Alfred Hitchcock s psycho, or Halloween, featuring a man who escapes from an asylum and goes on a killing spree. The plot to another thriller, Shutter Island, unfolds in an asylum for the criminally insane. Once upon a time, severe mental illness was presented in such a way as to evoke gratuitous fear and to stoke the fires of stigma. Perhaps this shift in filmmaker sensibilities is a sign of progress and of expanded public awareness. Unfortunately, in other important respects, we are still trying to find our way forward. Consider, for example, the epithets that Donald Trump routinely employed when he was running for president of the United States. Jeb Bush was a basket case. Lindsey Graham was a nut job. Trump told Ted Cruz that he was nuts, that he was unstable. He insisted that Bernie Sanders was wacko. But the problem wasn't just with Donald Trump. Commentators, as Colby Ikowitz pointed out in the Washington Post, commentators took that candidate to task for all of his indecent characterizations of undocumented Mexicans, of Muslims, of women, of prisoners of war. But it was very rare that they ever challenged his repeated callous references to mental illness. It is still socially acceptable the media expert Otto Wall observes, acceptable for cartoonists, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public at large to mock, stereotype, avoid, and otherwise denigrate people who experience mental disorder. Kay Redfield Jameson has spent her life coping with bipolar disorder, or as she prefers to call it, manic depressive illness. And for much of her career as a professor of psychology, she tried to cope with her disorder privately, afraid that if she revealed anything that academic institutions that her professional peers would reject her. And she also resisted taking medications, feeling that, hey, I should be strong enough to manage my periods of depression and mania unaided. I didn't want to need a crutch, she wrote. Over time, Jameson worked through all of these issues. She came out of the closet and she became a leader in her field. But she still regrets the derisive words that she hears, wacko, crazy, mad, certifiable. All of these remain part of our popular language. And she says the pain of hearing these words in the wrong context or with the wrong tone the tone is sharp and it creates these memories of insensitivity and prejudice and those memories last a very long time. Moreover, she says, allowing such language to go unchecked or uncorrected leads not only to personal pain, but it contributes both directly and indirectly to discrimination in jobs, insurance, and society at large. The media's sensationalist treatment of mass murderers further complicates this issue. If a killer cannot be classified as a terrorist, commentators quickly turn to mental illness as a probable cause. And sometimes it is. But what is rarely pointed out is that studies show that persons with severe mental illness are much more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators of violent crime. And usages and images such as these are all profoundly stigmatizing. But then what does that mean? What are we talking about when we use that particular term? Stigma finds its origin way back in ancient Greece. And at that time it was applied to individuals who bore a physical mark. It was usually a brand that had been burned into their skin. And it was a mark that indicated their disreputable or their depraved status. Slaves, criminals, traitors bore the mark of stigma. They were stigmatized and thus relegated to the margins of society if not banished entirely. Later on in Christian culture, the plural stigmata refers to the wounds inflicted on Christ at his crucifixion. And here what would normally be taken as a mark of shame becomes, for the faithful, a sign of Jesus' unjust and unmerited suffering at the hands of sinful humanity. And thus the stigmata becomes signs that call on the observer to repent and to be grateful for Christ's supreme sacrifice. But in the Christian world, stigmata could also have very negative connotations. So witches, for instance, were believed to possess certain physical characteristics that attested to their evil status and thus led to their persecution. And the same was true for certain aberrant behaviors associated with mental illness. Manic or psychotic episodes were thought to be evidence of demonic possession and they were stigmatized accordingly. And there was solid biblical warrant for all of this because at least on two occasions Jesus exercises demons from individuals who are showing clear signs of either mania or schizophrenia. And because of the spiritual and moral taint associated with them, persons coping with mental illness have continued to bear a heavy burden of social stigma. It connotes, as Stephen Hinshaw writes, an internal mark of deep degradation to the individual who carries it and a license for the social majority to perpetuate and to escalate their judgemental attitudes and responses. Now, to be sure, other segments of society have been similarly affected. Individuals with physical disabilities or who may be severely overweight have been stigmatized in our society. Certain diseases, such as AIDS, have caused estrangement, as does a prison record. Transgendered persons know stigma very well. Muslim women who wear the hijab seek men who wear the turban have felt the sting of stigma in our culture. But as a society in many respects we have made strides de-stigmatizing many of the conditions that prior to this led to discrimination and prejudice. And this is, of necessity, a very slow and gradual process because as humans we are programmed to look with suspicion, to look with disdain at people who are demonstrably different, who are not like us, who are not part of the tribe to which we belong and to whose mores we subscribe. Old prejudices are very, very hard for any of us to uproot. But then if there is any one class of individuals for whom stigma is a serious ongoing problem, not just in the United States but throughout the world, it is for those who suffer from illness. And such people represent as many as much as 6% of the total population. They represent a third of our homeless citizens, perhaps 40% of those who are currently doing time in prison. 42,000 Americans commit suicide each year, nearly three times the number of homicides. And for most of these individuals mental illness is a precipitating cause. Unfortunately, religion continues to factor into this problem. There are today those in our Christian culture who perceive malign forces at work. Exorcisms are still performed. Pentecostal preachers still claim the power to drive the devil out of the afflicted. In one of his books, Parker Palmer recalls a conversation that he had with a woman who, like him, had struggled with depression for much of her adult life. And they sat together and they shared their respective stories and at the end, she asked him plaintively, well, why do some people kill themselves and some people get well? Why is that? Parker Palmer had been fortunate enough to survive his own bouts with debilitating depression and so he thought very carefully before replying to this woman. But nothing came to him except this. I have no idea. I really have no idea. Afterwards, Parker Palmer felt remiss and regretful that he could not offer this particular woman something more helpful, something more constructive. But then a few days later, he received a letter in which the woman thanked him profusely for his comment, for his candor. My response, he said, had given her an alternative to the cruel Christian explanations that were common to the church to which she belonged. Because in her religious community, a failure to recover indicated insufficient faith or divine disapproval for something she had done or had not done. But you know, religion isn't the only culprit here. Because until fairly recently, the scientific and the legal communities were also complicit in reinforcing stigma. Secular experts in the field claimed that insane individuals had literally lost their reason, the reason that defines us as adult human beings. And because they were not in their right mind, such people were thought to be more akin to animals or to immature children. And thus it was proper for them to be stripped of their dignity and of their essential rights. It was not considered to be especially cruel or inappropriate to warehouse the severely mentally ill, in dreary asylums or to subject them to brutal treatments as it were. And some prominent asylums even invited the public in to view the freaks housed within. As many as 20,000 visitors per year entered Bethlehem Hospital in London, better known as Bedlam, to gawk at that institution's 200 wretched residents. Similar entertainment was provided in America's first major mental asylum in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. Now, progressive reformers, like the Unitarian Dorothea Dix, did lobby tirelessly for more humane, for more dignified forms of care. But discrimination was ongoing. And as scientists and lawmakers climbed aboard the eugenics movement in the early 20th century, laws were passed in 30 states, mandating the forced sterilization of the developmentally disabled and individuals with serious and chronic mental illnesses. It is hard to imagine a more officially sanctioned and institutionalized form of stigmatization than this Stephen Hinshaw writes. By official decree, persons with severe mental disturbances were simply forbidden to reproduce. For Stephen Hinshaw, a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, this history is particularly meaningful. His own father, a great philosopher, the University of Ohio. His father spent a lifetime in the throes of severe manic depression. Stephen's father was absent for months at a time from his family's home life because he was confined to one asylum or another. And in an effort to spare them their father's stigma, Stephen and his sister were kept completely in the dark about where their father was. It was only when Stephen was in college studying psychology himself that his father finally was able to reveal his shameful secret. And after that, the two enjoyed many candid conversations. But then one day shortly before his death the older man confided to his son, you know Stephen, there were times when I wished that I had cancer. Taken aback, Stephen just repeated that word as a question. Cancer? Is his father losing his mind again? Well cancer is a real illness, the old man said calmly. But each of my experiences was related to a mental disorder. And he noted how ironic, how disheartening it was for a philosopher to fall victim to such a disease. How I have always longed to have a real illness, he said. Stigma, as this example indicates can profoundly affect the self-image of one who experiences it. They internalize society's disapproval and they now must deal not only with the complications of the disease itself, but with a pervasive sense of unworthiness and personal inadequacy. And some may even begin conforming to society's stereotypical expectations of the mentally ill which as Hinshaw notes sets in motion this vicious circle of interactions. And then there's also to make matters worse, the associated problem of what we call courtesy stigma whereby family members and others close to the affected individual are also marginalized. And to avoid that fate to escape the shame of the afflicted individual, Steven Hinshaw's mother and Kay Jamison's sister and Michael Stone's students all felt that it was in their interest to hide or to deny So how do we combat the stereotypes, the prejudice, the discrimination that produce and maintain this kind of stigma? Self-disclosure that can be a powerful tool and in recent years more and more people have been coming out and sharing their stories. A quarter of a century ago, William Styron the author of the acclaimed novel Sophie's Choice published an account of his own struggle with debilitating depression. The memoir was called Darkness Visible it became a surprise bestseller. More recently, Scott Stossel the editor of the Atlantic Monthly wrote about his effort to overcome an acute anxiety disorder and since he has written about his own issues he has received so many letters from fellow sufferers who have told him what was going on with them and now they felt that they could actually reveal the problem it made me feel, Stossel says like I finally did something really good because they anticipate and dread being stigmatized many people do delay or forego treatment for their mental illnesses and too often that will mean that they will lose jobs they will lose their families their homes and even their lives when the symptoms become unmanageable. Fully half of returning military veterans who suffer from PTSD never seek help because they fear that they will appear weak. Narrative accounts by other veterans who have recovered that could be a powerful motivator for such reticent men and women returning from the scene of battle. In point of fact, these reflections come to us today courtesy of Carolyn Waxler who purchased the topic at last spring's Cabaret service auction in the South to psychologists and she has coped with both her own and her mother's deep depression a story that she told in a collection of narratives edited by Stephen Hinshaw. As a society we do need to begin taking mental illness much more seriously because even today resources are inadequate to meet the demand. Politicians routinely pay lip service to the problem but then they go back to congress and they vote against funding more hospitals and treatment centers. Indeed, the most recent congressional budget proposal calls for major cuts to Medicare and in particular for programs that address addiction and mental illness. And then too many private insurance policies lack parity provisions that provide necessary coverage for both mental and physical disorders. Because of stigma, many of those who suffer from severe mental illness do retreat into isolation and this is the risk of self-harm. And so for them joining a support group or taking an active role in an organization like the National Association for the Medley Ill whose mission is to overcome stigma, that can be very, very liberating. And then finally for those of us who wittingly or unwittingly collude with the culture of stigma there is PG Divine's formula for adjusting our own attitudes. He says it's intention, attention, and time. Intention, attention, and time. Through concerted effort and through deliberate practice he says people can overcome their stereotypic thoughts and their gut reactions and substitute for them stereotype breaking beliefs. Do we have a role here as a congregation? In answer to that question the psychotherapist Patricia Deegan had this brief and telling response. For God's sake she said just love them. Blessed be and amen. And now I do invite you to participate in the giving and receiving of this morning's offering and the description of the organization that is the beneficiary of your gifts is contained in your order of service. And now may the love which overcomes all differences which heals all wounds which puts to flight all fears which reconciles all who are separated may that love be in us and among us now and always. Please be seated for the poster.

Our personal brands were never meant to exist in a silo. In fact, our brands are best amplified when we build a community around our brands. It could be a community of current clients or collaborators or a community of people who respect the work that we do and the content that we create. LinkedIn, in my opinion, is the best social media platform for hospitality professionals to grow their respective communities. And in today's video, we're exploring ways that you can send LinkedIn invitations to potential community members. Stick around. Hey, everyone, it's Leanne, and I'm a firm believer that our personal brands are only as strong as the impact we make on our communities. I'm also passionate about using LinkedIn as our industry's chosen platform. With over 294 million active users, it's a great platform to cultivate relationships and nurture our clients. It's where our industry professionals come together to network, build their brand, and make connection. And it's where I predominantly hang my hat and have so for many years. I've built my business using inbound marketing strategies on LinkedIn, and it's where I find the most personal brand traction and opportunities. It's through my LinkedIn community's growth that I've been able to attract the opportunities. However, sending and receiving LinkedIn invitations does have some etiquette involved. So today, we're looking at some best tips and practices for extending LinkedIn invitations and accepting those that we receive. But before we look at these six LinkedIn invitation tips, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and click on that little bell to be notified of new content. I create content around LinkedIn and personal branding for the hospitality each week, and I don't want you to miss any of the content. So let's look at these six ways that you can set your brand apart using LinkedIn invitations. Tip number one, send a personalized message. Now by default, LinkedIn will send a generic message, something like, hi, my name is Leanne. I'd like to join your LinkedIn network. But if you really wanna stand out, modify that generic message and personalize it using points of reference. Let them know why you'd like to connect with them and reference one of the below. For example, where did you first hear or learn of this individual? Was it at a networking event or perhaps in a podcast or a clubhouse room? Or perhaps their thoughtful comment on a post caught your attention. Make sure you make reference to this place and give that person some common ground and reason for connecting with you. You can also reference common connections. Do you have a mutual professional connection or colleague or thought leader that you both follow? Ensure that you reference these common connections as a way to build the bridge of trust towards your new connection. Or reference common groups or interests if you belong to the same LinkedIn group, mention the group and ask about their experience within the group. And of course, there's bonus points in it for you if you reference a discussion from the group that you feel your new connection might find value in. Tip number two, provide value. You can really stand out with this one by providing either a resource, a tip list, a checklist or some other resource that your connection would find of value. Reference the work that they do or another interest that they have and give this valuable insight in exchange for nothing. Give it freely to your new connection without the expectation of a return gift. And if you receive LinkedIn invitations, give that gift to them as well when you accept their invitation. Tip number three, don't start the relationship with the hard sell. As with most social media platforms, the hard sell is not going to fly on LinkedIn either. LinkedIn is where you want to start selling you and your personal brand in order to create that bridge of trust. If you try with the hard sell, especially in that initial connection request, you're going to lose interest from your new connection. Once you've built that trust with your new connection, then you can start to weave in your product or your offering. By then you'll have built up some credibility and trust and that transition will be much easier. But make that initial connection request about them and meeting their pain points and their problems. Tip number four, like, share and comment on their content. Engage with your second or third degree connections by engaging in their content before you even send a connection request. They'll see your name and your comment prior to the connection request, thus making the request a little bit more warm in nature. When you extend the invitation, thank them for their content right in the request and maybe post a thoughtful comment or ask a thoughtful question in return. Engaging in other comments also increases your visibility to the other members of their network. So whenever you're interacting with content on LinkedIn, go beyond the like button and try to leave a thoughtful comment. Tip number five, tag your second degree connection when you see some like-minded content. When a piece of content pops up and you think that that second degree connection may find value in it, tag them thoughtfully in the comments of that particular post. Your second degree connection will see that tag in their notifications and maybe then making your request will be more relevant. Remember, only tag people on content that you think that they would find interesting or valuable. You do not wanna come across as spammy by just blind tagging people on pieces of content. Tip number six, don't forget to nurture your advocates. Extend the invitations to those that have engaged with your content already. Perhaps they left a comment or a like on one of your posts. This is a great way to find other community members to help grow your personal brand with like-minded individuals that will appreciate your content. Are you currently using LinkedIn to grow your network of community members? Let me know in the comments below if LinkedIn is a strategy that you're using as a hospitality professional. And if you're looking for additional tips and tricks on how to use LinkedIn, I've created a playlist of all of my LinkedIn content and you can access that video playlist right here. And if you're curious about how you can create content to attract your LinkedIn community, I'm hosting a five days, five ideas, LinkedIn content challenge, where you can explore five of LinkedIn's most popular content formats to create engagement with your audience. You can access the challenge details at liankholderwood.com forward slash LinkedIn challenge. My friend, I encourage you to use LinkedIn as a platform to grow and nurture your personal brand. And if you see me over on LinkedIn, make sure that you extend an invitation and say hi. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time. Bye for now.

Our Retrieval Practice Quiz is the secret weapon in our classrooms. Now, research to click the link in this video, research explores how quiz frequency and timing influences student learning. And why is this important? Well, we know quizzes can aid memory retention and deepen understanding, but I guess the frequency and length of them also matters. So teachers who adjust quiz frequency and where they place them can also maximize engagement and effectiveness. Maybe they shouldn't always happen at the start of the lesson, maybe they shouldn't happen at the end. I guess it's something for you to think about and explore. What if starting each lesson with a quiz revolutionized your learning outcomes? What if they happen at the end? If you're a primary teacher, the answer is going to be different. If you're a secondary teacher, who only sees their students once or twice a week, the answer is also going to be a different. So experiment with your quizzes in your lessons to enhance learning engagement, but dig into the data to see what difference lesson quiz frequency and timing also has on outcomes.

In this video, I'm going to be talking about my online coaching and consulting experience and how I make over 100k per month. So in my opinion, this is the best business model that you could do and I'm going to explain why I think that later on down the line. And this is something that I've wanted to talk about for a while and I'm going to be going over five of my secrets for how to make 100k per month with online coaching and consulting. But before I get into that, I'm also going to be doing a live workshop exactly 72 hours after this video is posted. So the date and time should be down in the comment section as well as the pen comment below. So definitely check that out and all the information will be down there as well. You just have to click on the link and this is going to be a live session where I present to you and then at the end you get to ask me any questions you have about online coaching and consulting. So it should be really awesome. Can't wait to see people there and basically just share all of my knowledge about this if for whatever reason you have to miss it because you're working or something or you just see this video after the date that we did the workshop, you can still access the recordings by clicking the link down in the description below as well. But of course, you won't be able to attend the live workshop. But let's get into why this is the best business model. So everybody has a natural instinct to teach other people what they know. For hundreds of thousands of years in human evolution, a father, let's say he was a fisherman, for instance, would teach his son how to fish and then the son would teach his son how to fish and then his son and then his son and then his son. And that's how human evolution worked for thousands of years. And then same thing with the mothers. So we all have this natural feeling inside of us where we really enjoy teaching other people things that we're skilled at. We get a lot of natural satisfaction out of doing that. And this is why you see a bunch of CEOs when they retire and they have tons of money still doing consulting and coaching on the side. The money isn't even a concern to them. It doesn't even matter to them, yet they still do coaching and consulting. And the reason for that is because it's very enjoyable to teach people a thing that you are an expert at. And it's also really fun and rewarding to see people, you know, in a state where they have a problem and then you help them with the problem and they're able to overcome it. And on top of this, you can make a ton of money with online coaching and consulting, and it's a great way to get people results. So yes, you can do a course and just automate it and all that sort of thing. I've made courses before myself. But the truth is most people don't get results from courses. Of course, you can get people results if you teach something very simple, like how to use Excel or something like that. But if you're trying to get somebody a job or help them start a business or something that's more complex, it's definitely easier to get them results if you do a consulting or a coaching program. And I've seen many people who actually end up taking a pay cut when they're doing a service-based business or something along those lines to do coaching and consulting, because they truly just enjoy it a lot more. Wait, really? And it's also a lot less stressful than many types of business models out there. But if you do it the right way, you can actually make just as much money as well. And that's what I'm going to be talking about in the rest of this video. So let's talk about how to get traffic. So the way selling these types of products goes is, first of all, you need to get traffic, then you need to get leads, and then you need to convert those leads into customers. So like with any business, the first thing you want to solve is whatever your first bottleneck is. And whenever you're trying to solve a bottleneck, you look at what happens at the beginning. So you start off with traffic. And very simply, my recommendation for getting traffic is to make content. Making content is like a freaking cheat code. And I know a lot of coaches out there on the internet are going to tell you that you should do paid ads or you should do cold outbound or you should maybe cold call people. And for certain types of business models, that does work well. But in terms of the time that you have to put in and the return on investment that you get, nothing beats making content and building a personal brand. In fact, a lot of those coaches that are teaching you to do paid ads or they're teaching you to do cold outbound are actually getting most of their sales from organic content. They've all been lying to us this whole time. And you might think, oh, you have to be an expert to make content or you have to be this or you have to be that. Well, if you're not an expert, you can actually just position yourself as somebody who is learning, right? You're in the process of learning this thing and people will really like that because they're probably a few steps behind you. And so they'll relate to you a lot more than someone who's been an expert for like 10 or 15 years. But if you're an expert, making content is a great idea as well. You'll just position yourself as an authority instead. And even with a tiny channel, you can make a ton of money doing this. So as an example, Serge Gattari was making over $300,000 a month with a YouTube channel that had less than 5,000 subscribers. Impossible. And by the way, YouTube in my opinion is the easiest way to start making content and start making money. YouTube is the platform where people really get to know you and really get to feel like they have a connection with you. And so they're much more likely to buy your products. So I know people who've been doing like cold outbound for three years and they're still struggling to make $3,000 to $5,000 per month. In fact, a lot of them will go down to making like less than $1,000 a month because they only have one client. So instead of taking those three years to do things that just only benefit you for a short period of time, take that time and make content instead. And three years later down the line, you're probably gonna be making $30, 50, $100,000 a month instead. Bam, dude. And I remember when I started to do my coaching business I was doing cold outreach and all this crazy marketing stuff and I was basically helping people get like in demand jobs and almost nobody would get on the phone with you and of the people who do get on the phone with you they're very skeptical. Whereas the leads you get from organic social media marketing like for instance, YouTube, they get on the phone with you and they're already ready to buy. We'll take the lot. Right, they're basically just like how much is it and when can I get started? So I highly recommend just starting to make content. Do it. You can make a full-time income on YouTube without even having a thousand subscribers. So with a tiny channel you can make a ton of money and with a bigger channel you can make an absolute killing. Plus it just keeps growing and it grows your brand and your reputation. And on top of that, when you do other types of prospecting methods like cold outreach or you're doing paid ads people are gonna look you up online and they're gonna be much more likely to buy from you because they're gonna see that you have a personal brand. You have an online presence. So now you've gotten traffic let's talk about how to get leads. And in order to know how to get leads you need to know what a lead is. So a lead is basically someone that you can contact. Now a good lead is going to be someone that you can contact that's interested in your product or services. Just answer the phone. Now you might be confused right now because you might be thinking Shane why don't I just advertise my product directly on my channel? And that's okay to do as long as you don't do it all the time. Because if you're constantly selling your product on your channel, people are going to get really annoyed by it and they're gonna stop watching you. And they've actually extensively studied this like how often you should sell versus giving value. And it kind of depends on which platform you're on but usually it's okay to sell directly on your channel one out of every six uploads approximately. All of your other uploads you should be pushing them towards your lead magnet. Now what exactly is a lead magnet? Well, that's how you get leads. And basically you're gonna give really good stuff away stuff that solves the problems that they have completely free. And in exchange for that, you get their email. And from their email, you can sell them your products. All right, that makes sense. Now, and additionally to getting their email and giving them the lead magnet I also recommend using the same process to get them into some kind of group. So you could use a Facebook group, a Discord group or my personal favorite is a school group. Now school does cost $100 a month so it's very expensive but it's a better overall experience for both me as well as the people who are in the group. And by the way, I'm kind of guesstimating this but I've done a lot of experiments and I've also asked my friends about this and doing lead magnets versus directly selling on your channel is probably going to three X your sales at least. So you're gonna make three times more money by simply just giving more value and not selling directly on your channel. So it's pretty much a win, win, win for everyone involved. And as Alex from Mozi says you wanna basically give all of the information away for free and then sell the implementation. So anything that you can just make one time and then it's just automated forever you wanna try to give that away for free but anything that actually requires your time on a day-to-day basis ongoing, you want to sell that, right? So things like coaching and consulting things like implementing a system into somebody else's business or if you're working for one of your customers, right? Give all the information away for free and sell the implementation. And by the way, once you get them on your email list you don't wanna just blast them with offers you wanna provide a lot of value on there as well. And then kinda just mention at the end of your emails by the way, if you'd like help with coaching and consulting or you just wanna do this faster I do have a coaching program. And same thing with the groups when you get people inside of there give as much information away as possible give as much value as possible and then just mention that if they need extra help or they wanna do it faster, you're there for them. Now let's talk about how to convert those leads into customers. So you've got a bunch of people in your group you've got a bunch of people on your email list how do you actually get those people to buy your stuff? Well, you can sell a lower ticket product directly in the group or on the email list basically just give them an offer maybe offer them a discount do an email sequence where you explain what you're gonna be doing inside of the product and that can work really well and you can do this for your own products or you can do it with an affiliate product. So I really like working with other affiliates in my niche because of the fact that I kinda talk about general like remote jobs and careers and it makes a lot more sense for me to just partner with people who are already getting great results in a specific type of career rather than me trying to make that course because the truth is there's no one career that's gonna be good for everyone. Different careers are good for different personality types and the great thing about a lower ticket product we're talking something like $1,000 or less is that you can really automate that whole process you don't have to have anybody who's like a coach you don't have to spend any of your own time and that whole process can just be mostly automated with higher ticket products you're gonna have to hire a bunch of people you're gonna have to have an infrastructure in place and chances are you are gonna be spending a good amount of your own time working with the people but like I said before, higher ticket coaching and consulting programs are gonna get people way better results and by the way, higher ticket is typically like $2,000 and above. Now, if you're selling a high ticket coaching program typically you are gonna have to get people on the phone in order to sell them whereas if you're selling a lower ticket digital product you can usually just make a webinar or some kind of video sales letter and explain the benefits of the product there or in some cases you can just have a landing page and you can just sell directly on there they don't have to talk to any human beings and again, all of that can be automated but with a higher ticket coaching program you're typically gonna have to hire two different types of people appointment setters and closers appointment setters are gonna be the people who actually talk to leads and see if they're qualified for the product and see if they're a good fit to get on the phone with the closer, right? So they're just making sure that this person is actually gonna be able to get results with the program they're making sure that they're the right type of customer and they're making sure that they're not wasting their time getting them on the phone with the closer and then the closer is the person who kind of explains everything about the program a lot of the time they'll give the person a personalized consultation and then at the end they will try to sell the person on the product. Now at first you can do this yourself but chances are especially when you get a lot of customers in this is going to be a lot of work and you're gonna wanna hire people. Now like I said, high ticket products you can make a lot more money with them but they're also a lot more work and they're also just more difficult to set up when it comes to the infrastructure. So when you're deciding whether you should do a high ticket program or you should just do an automated course really you just wanna think which one is gonna get your customers the best results. If you're helping people with a problem that's pretty easy to solve and you can solve that problem with a course then you probably just wanna do a course and if you're helping people with a problem that's much more difficult to solve and it's gonna require a lot more hands-on teaching, feedback, you know they're gonna have them do assignments and you're gonna grade them all that sort of thing then you probably wanna do coaching or consulting. Now let's talk about why creating content is a freaking cheat code. So I kinda went over this already a little bit but anybody who has a YouTube channel that sells high ticket coaching will tell you the leads they get from their YouTube channel are like 10 times better than the leads they get from other sources. So leads from cold calling or cold email or cold outreach on social media or even paid ads those leads are not nearly as good as the leads they get from their YouTube channel. When people book calls from the leads they get from YouTube they actually show up to the calls and when they show up to the calls the closing rates go way up. I know people that have high ticket coaching programs that are only closing like five to 10% of their calls and that's because most of their leads come from paid ads or cold outreach and they have a terrible show up rate so a lot of the people who book the calls never end up even showing up to the call itself. Plus your closers don't need to be anywhere near as skilled because when the person shows up to the call they're already ready to buy and this means it's gonna be much easier keeping the good sales people on your team. This is another massive problem that people who have high ticket coaching programs have is they'll put in all the work to train a good sales person and then that person will just leave whenever they get a slightly better opportunity and a lot of the time it's because that sales person is taking on really crappy leads but if they're getting tons of really good leads they're not gonna leave your business. Then when the people actually take your coaching program they're gonna trust you more and they're gonna really buy into your message and they're really gonna try to make it work. So this is a massive problem that a lot of the information marketing industry has is people will buy the programs and you can actually look to see how much of the content that they've digested and you can also look to see if they've done the assignments or not and a lot of the time people will only do like five to 10% of the assignments and then they just give up. So if people have been watching you on YouTube they've really bought into your message they really trust you they're gonna be much more likely to actually finish the program and therefore much more likely to get results and then when they're much more likely to get results they're much more likely to give you testimonials and they're also more likely to give you testimonials because they feel like they know you and they watched you on YouTube and then of course more people are likely to buy your product because you have a bunch of testimonials so it's kind of a circular cycle. It's like a flywheel that keeps making your business better and better. Oh and did I mention you're also gonna have way less refund requests as well. I could refund my refund request. So basically it makes every single aspect of your business easier if you have an organic content presence and YouTube in my opinion is the absolute best when it comes to this and like I said before I will be doing a one day workshop where I really dive deep on each one of these topics and I reveal all my secrets, all what I've learned and that's going to be exactly 72 hours after this video post. So check the time and date down in the description and the pin comment below and then you can click the link to get the details and check it out and keep in mind that if you miss it for whatever reason you of course will not be able to attend the live session but you will still get the recordings if you sign up with the link below and I tried to make it as affordable as possible. Of course this is gonna take a lot of my time and effort. I have to make the slides and I have to do the presentation. I'm probably gonna be there like two or three hours but I tried to make it as affordable as possible so that anybody who wants to ask me questions or get taught my secrets can afford it. Now if you like this video check out this other video where I talk about seven side hustles that almost nobody talks about and you can check it out by clicking right here.

Though the genetic contribution to lifespan may be relatively minor, are there specific genes that have been associated with longevity? The leading method for complex genetic mapping is called genome-wide association analysis, which is essentially a massive game of go fish, comparing a million or more letters of DNA between groups of similar people looking for a match. So for example, if you stretch out the DNA of hundreds of centenarians and compare those sequences to that of non-centenarians, is there a DNA letter at a certain position that centenarians share disproportionately? The problem is hundreds of centenarians are all researchers are typically able to find. Extremely long-lived individuals such as centenarians comprise only a tiny fraction of the population on the order of 1 in 10,000 or so. As you can imagine, the more people you have in a genome-wide association study, the more likely you'll be able to find a needle in the DNA haystack. There are so few people available to study for extreme longevity research, it becomes much more difficult to identify trends. Some researchers have tried solving this problem by lowering the age requirement to 85. Then you can enroll thousands into your study, but making it to 90 is not the same as making it to 100. In fact, statistically, it's as hard to get from 90 to 100 as it is to get to 90 in the first place. By using younger age brackets, we may miss out on discovering some secret centenarian sauce. That brings us to the largest genome-wide association study of lifespan to date, based on data from a million people. How were researchers able to include so many subjects? By correlating the genetic fingerprints of half a million middle-aged individuals with the ages of both of their parents, they were able to find a dozen DNA regions linked to lifespan that appeared to account for up to five years' difference between individuals. Twelve DNA markers is actually a surprisingly low number, compared to height, for example, which is determined by more than 400 different DNA spots, although unlike lifespan, height is highly heritable. A review of all the genome-wide association studies for longevity put together only found one gene confirmed in multiple independent meta-analyses, the Alzheimer's gene, ApoE. Beyond just determining lower or higher dementia risk, ApoE is the single most important gene when it comes to longevity, though again, that's not necessarily saying much. ApoE codes for protein that is 299 amino acids long, called ApoLipoproteinE. Some people have ApoE genes that code for the protein with the amino acid 16 at positions 112 and 158, known as the ApoE2 variant. While others have an arginine in those spots, the ApoE4 variant of the protein, and ApoE3 is the third major type of variant, which has one of each. Having genes that code for the ApoE4 variant increases your risk of cognitive decline, full-blown Alzheimer's disease, and premature death. If you have one copy of the ApoE4 gene from your mother or father, your odds of becoming a centenarian are cut roughly in half, and if you have ApoE4 genes from both parents, your centenarian odds drop by more than 80%. What does this protein do to have such a powerful impact on our health and longevity? ApoE is the primary cholesterol carrier in the brain, and plays major role in packaging and transporting LDL cholesterol throughout the body. The LDL cholesterol level in those with ApoE4 genes averages more than 40 points higher than those with ApoE2 genes, gunking up the arteries that feed both the heart and the brain. LDL cholesterol is a risk factor not just for heart disease, but Alzheimer's disease as well. Switch people to a diet lower in animal fat and cholesterol, though, and those LDL differences can disappear, nearly a 60-point drop in LDL. The difference in cholesterol level caused by the different ApoE genes can simply disappear if you had a diet low enough in saturated fat and cholesterol, so diet can trump genetics. This may explain the so-called Nigerian paradox. If you inherit one ApoE4 gene, your risk of getting Alzheimer's may triple. If you get ApoE4 genes from both parents, which occurs in about one in 50 people in the US, you might end up with nine times the risk. The highest frequency of the ApoE4 variant occurs in Nigerians, but they also have some of the lowest rates of Alzheimer's disease. How could that be? The population with the highest rate of the Alzheimer's gene has one of the lowest rates of Alzheimer's disease? This contradiction may be explained by Nigerians' extremely low blood cholesterol levels thanks to a diet low in animal fat and consisting mainly of grains and vegetables. Humans may have evolved to maintain an LDL level of about 25, but the average in the Western world is approximately 120. It's no wonder heart disease is the leading cause of death in high-income countries, and Alzheimer's disease, according to the World Health Organization, is killer number two. Too often, doctors and patients have a fetalistic approach to chronic degenerative diseases, and Alzheimer's is no exception. It's all in your genes, they say, and what will happen will happen. But research shows that although you might have been dealt some poor genetic cards, you may be able to reshuffle the deck with diet.

Good morning folks, this is Steve Rhodes, coming to you live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This year, let me name update, and currently I have a bit of a mixed bag that mixes really coming from the Dow transports, which are off 62 points. Otherwise, all of the other US indices trading to the upside, Dow's up 137 points, about four tenths of a percent, three tenths for the S&P, that'd be 12 points. The flat, less than one tenth of a percent for the Nasdaq 100, that's seven points to the upside, eight tenths for the Russell. That's a big mover out there, that's trading out at $17.52, that's up about 13 buckeroonies. Silver and gold are trading the upside, silver's up a little over four and a half percent, $1.03 to the upside. Gold, 27 bucks, that's one and a half percent, $18.25 is the print there. Lights be crude, trading out at $75.72, that's up 34 cents. Natural gas is back 43 pennies. That's over a seven percent move to the downside and it's testing its prior lows out there. And the 30th Treasury is back one point and 20 ticks. She's trading at $12804. Well, Stevie, what does all that mean out there? Well, if we go take a look at our nine panel market update chart, we'll see up in the upper left-hand side, we've got the ES mini. The ES mini is trying to make its consolidation measured move that would take us down into about the $37.56 level. If in fact, price is moving down there, no reason for it to not test its October swing point. The top of that swing point is at $37.27. Now what could get in the way of a move down there is that spot volatility next, which is still below its 50 day expense moving average. So that's as we could or should or could expect some pops to the upside. If we take a look at the NQ, the NQ also in that same or similar pattern to the ES mini. It has a consolidation measured move breakdown. Its initial price target is in the $10,875 level. Price is already trading inside its swing point. The swing point low from a daily standpoint was a day of October 13th. So that suggests that over time, the NQ should move down to the $10,875 level and below that $10,595. Now the US dollar index is currently trading below the bottom of its daily profile. That is the level of support. That bottom of that daily profile is at $10,364. We're trading at $10,351. I do have a 10 minute delay here. Price closes below that. That suggests at least testing its most recent low from just a few days ago. That low is down at the $10,287. If price closes below that, well we likely see the equity markets move higher. We likely see gold and silver continue to move higher. Gold right now is trading above the top of its daily profile. It does have an A to B equal CD pattern that would give us a projection, initial price projection of $19,07. In the case of silver, today it closed above $23,95 and basically be a close above its bearish structured daily profile. That suggests to move to $2,506. Folks stay tuned for the Trader Zed show but if you have to start your Tuesday, please have a terrific one and we'll look forward to speaking with you again soon. Take care.

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning from the Stockton Centre for International Law, the US Naval War College, and indeed good afternoon and good evening from wherever you are in the world. I'd like to welcome back those who joined us yesterday and indeed welcome those who are unable to. Before we begin the conference in earnest today, just a few announcements. The first is to reiterate that yesterday, today and tomorrow, so all three days of the conference will be recorded and be made available to the public via YouTube. The second thing is to encourage questions, so you'll notice at the bottom of your screen there is a Q&A box. Please post your questions there to our panellists as they come to you during their presentations. There's also a like feature there, so if you particularly like a question that someone else has posed and you want the moderator to see that ahead of other questions, please use the like function. And then finally, I'll post in the Q&A box at a link to our website and from there you can download the program for the conference where you can see the bias for all the speakers and panellists. So with that, I'd like to hand over to the Charles A. Stockton Professor of International Maritime Law and Chair of the Stockton Centre, Professor James Kraska. Thank you very much, Kieran. Thank you everybody for participating in day two of the Disruptive Technologies and International Law Conference and Stockton Centre. This morning it's our real honor and pleasure to be able to listen to Dr. Ray Schoendorf. He is Israel's Deputy Attorney General for International Law and in that capacity, he's responsible for all aspects of interpretation and application of international law in Israel's legal system with respect to international litigation, as well as treaty negotiations and representation of the State of Israel in international affairs and international forums. He has also been the Director of the Department of Special International Affairs within the State's Attorney's Office and previously he was in the International Dispute Resolution Group at DeVoy and Plimpton LLP and he has served in, on a number of delegations of the State of Israel, including delegations for peace negotiations with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinians, as well as for negotiations for the creation of the International Criminal Court. Dr. Schoendorf earned a Doctor of Dritical Science, that's the PhD of equivalent of law in the United States and from NYU University School of Law and he also earned and studied law and economics at Tel Aviv University. Dr. Schoendorf, thank you very much for participating in this conference. The floor is yours. Thank you James. Good morning everyone. I would like to thank the organizers for the opportunity to speak at this prestigious event. The last time I participated in this conference was on a panel regarding the Gaza flotilla incident in 2010. I remember that Professor James Trasca, James, spoke on the issue of maritime blockade. It was a compelling presentation and while I'm not sure I remember each and every detail of it, you must have known what you were talking about James, given your current position here at the Naval War College. In any event it gives me great pleasure to be a part of this conference again as a keynote speaker, so I wish it could have been in person. I would like to present here today Israel's perspective on key aspects of the application of international law in connection with cyber operations with a particular emphasis on issues related to the use of force and armed conflicts. The question of how international law adapts to emerging technologies is one of the most challenging faced by legal advisors. These challenges compel us to revisit notions that have been with us for decades and sometimes centuries. We can see this in the fields of artificial intelligence, blockchain and of course in the context of cyber operations. Israel considers that international law is applicable to cyberspace and this is a view that has become almost axiomatic for a vast majority of states. However when seeking to apply particular legal rules to this domain we're mindful of its unique features. These unique features shape policy and affect the legal framework applicable to the cyber domain. I wish to shortly address some of these. First cyber operations are conducted through a global network passing through infrastructure located in multiple jurisdictions and lacks any meaningful physical manifestation. Second much of the cyber infrastructure is held and controlled by the private sector and civilian components are a major part of the picture. Thus regulation of the cyber domain may have various social and economic implications as well. Third the cyber domain is highly dynamic given the fast pace of technological development and innovation. The development of international legal rules on the other hand is a more gradual process. This is understandable since these rules are designed to stand the test of time and are not easily amended. All these factors taken together suggest that an extra layer of caution must be exercised in determining how exactly international legal rules apply to cyber operations and in evaluating whether and how additional rules should be developed. We as government and military legal advisors are tasked with the role of identifying the relevant rules including those set by the law of armed conflict and determining how they apply to a particular set of facts. In some cases it will be possible to apply a certain rule as it is while in other cases the situation is conceptually different such that it might not be possible feasible or even desirable to draw from existing legal rules. This process obviously has to consider the behavior of states in the cyber domain as international law is state made. When dealing with a treaty provision we look to the regular rules of treaty interpretation to ascertain the relevance and applicability of the provisions at hand in the cyber context. As for customary law it is necessary to examine whether there is general state practice accepted as law substantiating the existence of a rule in the cyber domain. It cannot be automatically presumed that a customary rule applicable in any of the physical domains is also applicable to the cyber domain. The key question in identifying state practice is whether the practice is whether the practice which arose in other domains is closely related to the activity envisaged in the cyber domain. Additionally it must be ascertained that the opinioneurists which gave rise to the customary rules applicable in other domains was not domain specific. Given the unique characteristics of the cyber domain such analysis is to be made with particular prudence as it is very often the case that relevant differences exist. Since this is the naval war college conference it is only fitting that I will give an example from the law of maritime warfare. As you all know the rules regulating maritime blockade evolved long ago. Over the years these rules have crystallized into customary law. Nonetheless this custom was formed specifically in the maritime context. Putting aside the question of whether the concept of blockade is relevant to cyber space the maritime practice is not closely related to any type of activity in the cyber domain. While the opinioneurist in this regard is domain specific it is therefore quite clear that the rules of maritime blockade are not applicable in the circumstances of activities in the cyber domain. The law of neutrality also illustrates the challenges of applying rules that evolved in the context of traditional warfare to the contemporary environment of cyber space as many of its rules were tailored specifically to the land sea and air domains. For example in relation to one of the basic overarching rules of neutrality the inviolability of a neutral states territory while in the land domain it is forbidden to transfer troops or convoys of ammunition at sea the passage of warships in territorial waters is possible and in the air such passage is subject to discretion or limitations of each neutral state. Given these differences it remains unclear if and how this rule would be applicable in cyber space. These are just examples that show why it is not always easy to move from the general statement that international law applies to the cyber domain to concrete legal rules that bind states and non-state actors in their actual behavior. Accordingly the state of Israel has largely refrained thus far from making specific statements on whether and how particular rules apply. That is not to say that we take no position indeed we have consistently affirmed the application of international law to cyber space in forums like the UNGGE and the open-ended working group. In parallel over the last few years we have been gradually formulating and developing our views on some contemporary issues relating to cyber operations. This is a meticulous and delicate process impelled by the need for thorough legal and practical research and careful consideration of a multitude of views together with an assessment of potential implications. Bearing in mind all these challenges in my presentation today I would like to share with you some of the insights that we have reached thus far regarding international law applicable to cyber operations particularly in connection with armed conflicts. My hope is that this will contribute to the current legal discourse in this field. I will start by addressing a few key issues concerning the EU's ADBELUM. First and this has already been acknowledged by many others the customary prohibition set out in Article 24 of the Charter of the United Nations on the threat or use of force in international relations is clearly applicable in the cyber domain. We share the support among states for the view that a cyber operation can amount to use of force if it is expected to cause physical damage injury or death which would establish a use of force if caused by kinetic means. For example hacking into the computers of the railroad network of another state and programming the controls in a manner that is expected to cause a collision between trains can amount to a use of force. As with any legal assessment relating to the cyber domain as practices in this field continues to evolve there may be room to further examine whether operations not causing physical damage could also amount to use of force. Second when the use of force in the cyber domain by either a state or non-state actor can be considered as an actual or imminent armed attack the state under attack may act in accordance with its inherent right to self-defense as enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter. Of course the exercise of this right is subject to the customary principles of necessity and proportionality. Finally the use of force in accordance with the right of self-defense against an armed attack conducted through cyber means may be carried out by either cyber or kinetic means just as the use of force in self-defense against a kinetic armed attack may be conducted by kinetic or cyber means. I would like to move on and address some key issues concerning the applicability of the law of armed conflict to the cyber domain. I will start by stating the obvious the law of armed conflict and its fundamental principles generally apply to cyber operations conducted in the context of an armed conflict. Indeed and I quote the right of belligerence to adopt means of injuring the enemy is not unlimited end quote even in the cyber domain. Israel is a party to the four Geneva conventions and other treaties governing particular aspects of conduct in armed conflict and is also bound by applicable customary law. Israel like the United States and others is not a party to the additional protocols and is not bound by them as a matter of three kilo. However we see the following as consistent with the relevant customary law and the additional protocols. One of the key issues in the conduct of hostilities in particular is how to define attacks and in which circumstances cyber operations amount to attacks under law. The concept of attack is central to targeting operations and only acts amounting to attacks are subject to the targeting rules relating to distinction precautions and proportionality. The definition of attack in law requires several elements but I will focus on those aspects carrying special relevance in the cyber context. Specifically I will address the element requiring that an act will constitute an attack only if it is expected to cause death or injury to persons or physical damage to objects beyond the minimis. One aspect of this element concerns the reasonably expected consequences of the acting question. Reasonably expected consequences are those that are anticipated with some likelihood of occurrence and entail adequate causal proximity to the act. A second aspect in this element is the type of required damage. The requirement for physical damage has been accepted law since the introduction of the legal term of art attack into the law discourse. For this reason practices such as certain types of electronic warfare, psychological warfare, economic sanctions, seizure of property and detention have never been considered to be attacks as such and accordingly were not considered as subject to law targeting rules. Only when a cyber operation is expected to cause physical damage will it satisfy this element of an attack under law. In the same being the mere loss for impairment of functionality to infrastructure would be insufficient in this regard and no other specific rule to the contrary has evolved in the cyber domain. However if an impediment to functionality is caused by physical damage or when an act causing the loss of functionality is a link in a chain of the expected physical damage that act may amount to an attack. For example if a cyber operation is intended to shut down electricity in a military airfield and as a result is expected to cause the crash of a military aircraft that operation may constitute an attack subject of course to the additional elements for attacks under law. The existence of physical damage is assessed purely on objective and technical grounds. It is a factual question and as such does not depend on the subjective perception or the manner in which the other side chooses to address the loss of the or impairment of functionality. Finally the fact that a cyber operation is not an attack does not mean that no legal limitations apply there too. Indeed there are general obligations in law that apply to all military operations regardless of being attacks or not. Central among those is the requirement to consider the danger posed to the civilian population in the conduct of military operations. It is widely accepted today that parties to conflicts cannot blatantly disregard such harmful effects to the civilian population in their military operations. But there are also more specific protections that may apply to actions other than attacks. For example cyber operations affecting medical units are regulated and limited inter alia by the law obligation to respect and protect medical units which applies regardless of whether the act constitutes an attack or not. Moving on from the issue of attack another question which is especially relevant to the cyber domain is whether the term object as it is understood in law encompasses computer data. This bears implications with regard to the implementation of the law rules relating to distinction precautions and proportionality. Objects for the purposes of law have always been understood to be tangible things and this understanding is not domain specific. It is therefore our position that under the law of armed conflict as it currently stands only tangible things can constitute objects. Here again this does not mean that cyber operations adversely affecting computer data are unregulated. In particular when an operation involving the deletion or alteration of computer data is still reasonably expected to cause physical damage to objects or persons and fulfills the other elements required to constitute an attack the operation would be subject to law targeting rules. Likewise one must have regard to rules which are not dependent dependent on the concept of objects such as the obligation to respect and protect medical units. Now in addition to the use at Bellum and Loach there are other legal frameworks pertinent to cyber operations that do not center around armed conflicts. Given their importance I believe it is valuable to address them shortly and perhaps leave some room for further thoughts. I will start by addressing perhaps the broadest topic which continues to be a subject of vibrant discussion sovereignty. To begin with there are diverging view regarding whether sovereignty is merely a principle from which legal rules are derived or a binding rule of international law in itself the violation of which would be considered an internationally wrongful act. This issue has many facets and while I will not offer any definitive position for the time being I would like to stress a number of important points. The first is that sovereignty is a cornerstone of international law and international relations. Of course we need to distinguish in this regard between sovereignty which is typically used as a general concept that connotes independence and territorial sovereignty which is an international legal rule. States will sometimes point to the need to protect their sovereignty referring broadly to their political will and autonomy without necessarily referring to a legal rule. The two meanings are sometimes conflated and we need to be very careful when drawing legal conclusions. A second and related point is that states undoubtedly have sovereign interests in protecting cyber infrastructure and data located in their territory. However states may also have legitimate sovereign interests with respect to data outside their territory. For example as governments store more and more of their data by using cloud services provided by third parties whose servers are located abroad how do we describe the interest that they have in relation to that data? Would they interest in protecting the data not be a sovereign interest in this case as well or alternatively when a state conducts a criminal investigation and needs to access data located abroad from its own territory under what circumstances does it need to request the consent of the territorial state? Of course there are no easy answers to these questions and some of them are currently being discussed such as in the context of the protocol to the Budapest Cyber Crime Convention currently being negotiated to address this very topic. These questions reflect an inherent tension between states' legitimate interests and the concept of territorial sovereignty as we understand it in the physical world. In practice states occasionally do conduct cyber activities that transit through and target networks and computers located in other states. For example for national defense, cyber security or law enforcement purposes. Under existing international law it is not clear whether these types of actions are violations of the rule of territorial sovereignty or perhaps that our understanding of territorial sovereignty in cyberspace is substantively different from its meaning in the physical world. Another matter closely related to the issue of sovereignty is that of non-intervention. Traditionally this concept has been understood as having a high threshold. It has been taken to mean that state A cannot take actions to coerce state B in pursuing a course of action or refraining from a course of action in matters pertaining to state B's core internal affairs such as its economic or foreign policy choices. Its traditional application has focused on military intervention and support to armed groups seeking the overthrow of the regime in another state. This could presumably also relate to support given to armed groups in the cyber domain such as providing information regarding cyber vulnerabilities of the state. A more recent issue that has come to the fore relates to interference in national elections. We concur with the various positions expressed in this regard such as that which was presented by former State Department legal advisor Brian Egan and more recently reiterated by DOGP general counsel Paul May that and I quote a cyber operation by a state that interferes with another country's ability to hold an election or that manipulates another country's election results would be a clear violation of the rule of non-intervention end quote. I will now turn into addressing three somewhat related topics due diligence attribution and countermeasures. The concept of due diligence means that states should take reasonable measures to avoid or minimize harm to other states and seems to be useful in fields such as environmental law. In the 2015 UNGGE report the concept was addressed as the basis for a voluntary non-binding norm of responsible state behavior providing that states should not allow their territory to be used for the commission of international wrongful acts. There was wisdom in mentioning it in the chapter covering norms of responsible state behavior as it does not at this point in time translate into a binding rule of international law in the cyber context. This was the position expressed by other states as well. As I mentioned regarding the examples of maritime blockade and neutrality we have to be careful in applying to the cyber domain rules that emerged in a different distinct context. For instance in the field of environmental law where much of the focus and application of due diligence obligation has been in recent years the acting state typically has control or at least oversight over the harmful activity for example regulating the polluting power plant. However cyberspace is mostly private and decentralized. The inherent different features of cyberspace its decentralization and private characteristics incentivize cooperation between states on a voluntary basis such as with the case of national computer emergency response teams. Certs are already doing what could arguably fall into that category exchanging information with one another as well as cooperating with each other in mitigating incidents. However we have not seen widespread state practice beyond this type of voluntary cooperation and certainly not practice grounded in some overarching opinionaries which would be indispensable for a customer rule of due diligence or something similar to that to form. The issue of attribution is also widely debated with respect to cyber operations. Some have suggested that there needs to be more legal certainty with respect to attribution in order to avoid mistaken attribution which can lead to conflict escalation. This is increasingly becoming more of a theoretical issue. Over time the attribution capabilities of states have improved and even states with lesser capabilities have been able to rely on solid information provided by other states and by the private sector. In any event this is a technical matter a factual one and I would advise against over regulating the issue. That being said there is also the question of public perceptions because sometimes when an offensive cyber operation is public and the attribution is public the government needs to communicate with its citizens and with the international community at large in order for its positions and actions to be understood. But there will be cases when a state will prefer not to disclose the attack the attribution or any ensuing actions taken for diverse reasons such as national security and foreign relations. Either way as a matter of international law the choice whether or not to disclose the attribution information remains at the exclusive discretion of the state. With respect to the issue of countermeasures I would like to echo the positions taken by the UK the US and other states to the effect that there is no absolute duty under international law to notify the responsible state in advance of a cyber countermeasure. Prior notification is perhaps more realistic and practical in fields such as international trade allowing the responsible state to reconsider its actions without frustrating the ability of the injured state to take the intended countermeasures. However in the cyber domain where the pace of events can be extremely fast and the other side may swerve the action if it anticipates it announcing a cyber countermeasure in advance would often negate the utility and effectiveness and in some instances undermine the interests of the injured state as well as render the countermeasure obsolete. One last point. I focused thus far on cyber operations but it is important to keep in mind that the application of international law to cyberspace is much broader than the issue I touched upon. Questions relating to cyber security, cyber crime, digital trade and human rights in the cyber domain are just a few examples. I think that international law has a crucial role to play in addressing these topics. By focusing on these topics international law can contribute to enhancing global stability in a concrete way. We hope to share our views on these and other topics as well in due course. I wish to conclude my remarks by taking a step back. In the discussions that we're having on the application of international law in dealing with emerging technologies, I think that the challenges lie not in identifying the basic rules of international law, the prohibition on the use of force, self-defense, non-intervention, territorial sovereignty, etc., but in determining when and how they apply in new circumstances. Picture the land, air and sea domains of international law as independent trees, each with its own branches and leaves, each yielding its own fruit. Each of these trees is sustained by common ingredients, soil, water, sunlight, yet each tree grows differently, depending on the external conditions, the type of seed sown, and how the roots grow. We now have a new tree whose roots are just beginning to take shape. International law of cyber-operations is a nascent field. It is emerging from the same grounds of international law, the same core principles that the heart of the international system and its leaves and fruit will bear some similarities to the other fields of law, but we do not expect that it will be identical, once fully grown. So while the vast majority of states agree on the starting point of the application of international law to cyber-operations, the international community is still very much at the beginning of the journey, and the applicability of each existing rule of international law to the cyber domain requires careful assessment and review. Thank you again for inviting me to speak here today. I look forward to your questions. Thank you. Well, thank you so much, Dr. Schindorf. That was obviously a wonderful presentation and very informative. And I think your tree analogy was very interesting and very fitting. I think we have two trees growing right now. We have obviously the tech tree that has cyber and space and artificial intelligence, as well as the international law tree that's trying to go to keep up with these technologies. I think that's a fantastic way to look at it. You provided a very frank and practical approach, frank and practical comments regarding Israel's operational approach to the cyber domain. Could you perhaps share a little more on the reasons, kind of the background and considerations that have led to Israel's present views with respect to international law in the cyber domain? Certainly. We have been thinking for quite a while whether it would be appropriate for us to make a statement and make our views known with respect to our positions, at least on some issues in the cyber context. And for a long time, we actually did spend a lot of time thinking about these issues and trying to follow the practice and comments of other states. We do see a responsibility international law being state made to participating in the process of of identifying and conceptualizing the rules of international law. And our discussion or our presentation of these issues is intended to be part of the discourse and conversation that goes on. We felt at this point that a substantial number of countries have already made presentations and when we got the invitation to speak at this prestigious conference, we thought that might be an excellent opportunity to make our views more public. We certainly appreciate that. An audience does as well. If I could ask maybe a more specific question. Professor Eric Jensen from BYU asks that you allow that it may be with respect to Article 24, practice may evolve in such a way that cyber operations not causing damage might amount to a use of force. Can you provide more details on what you mean? And he asked that are you referring to economic operations? And if so, what standards might we start thinking about as the trigger for economic effects that amount to a use of force? Yeah, so I wouldn't. It's a tricky question. It's an excellent question, of course. And I don't really want to use this platform to give anybody any ideas. I think that the approach that we have taken, that we are taking to identifying rules in the cyber domain like many other states is a cautious approach. And so we feel that at this point in time, the safest view would be, the safest view that is supported by state practice is that there needs to be a physical component to that. But we certainly see the possibility that in the future states may feel compelled to respond to a tax that may not be or to actions that may not also have a physical component in them. And if that happens in other states, except that there may be a development of the legal rules. So that is to say that the world of cyber operations is developing. And we have still very limited state practice and very limited state practice in actual real life situations. And so we think that the prudent approach is to be cautious about the rules we identify and to have them grounded in the state practice as it exists, but to be also open to the possibility that in the future as things evolve, there may be developments that will justify rethinking or reinterpreting some of these concepts. Thank you, and we talk about the type of effects that cyber operations may have. And Professor Anna Petrick looks at a question with regard to the temple aspects and she says, the right to use force and self-defense is subject to a requirement of immediacy. However, in some cases, the fact that a cyber attack has occurred or is occurring may not be apparent for some time. What is your view on the immediacy criteria in such cases? Can it be interpreted more broadly or must the standard be the same for a kinetic or a physical attack? So I want to be cautious. I mean, I didn't consider this specific scenario before this presentation and I don't want in that more formal and public context to take a definitive view. I will say that imminence is a component, of course, of one of the requirements for the use of self-defense. Some view it as part of necessity and others see it as an independent prone. Provisionally, without making any commitments on this, I think that the imminence in such a scenario should relate to the point in time where one becomes aware of the attack and not the time that the attack was actually originated or occurred. And obviously these are interesting questions and legal advice in this world can be interesting and certainly I think tricky. From your experience, what are the challenges in providing legal advice with respect to cyber operations? Well, that's actually an excellent question to ask Deputy Attorney General that needs to advise on these issues. I will say some of the cyber operations and cyber in general is a field that requires a relatively high level of technical knowledge. And sometimes not necessarily in Israel our political leaders may have vast knowledge of maybe cyber technology, but in some cases at senior levels there may be gaps in the understanding of some of the technical issues. And I think that is a challenge when one needs to present legal advice to people that have less expertise perhaps on cyber technology. I think another aspect is sometimes the very fast pace that things happen. I mean, this is true also in other fields related to law, to the laws of armed conflict that the military operations need to take to happen relatively quickly, but in cyber it may be even more apparent. And maybe the last but not least is that the fact that the rules are still very much on many issues are very much in flux. And there is a large degree of uncertainty. Certainly puts the challenge to the legal advisor how to describe or to provide the legal advice to those that seek it, whether you identify the scope of possible interpretations and let the military operators or the political decision makers to decide the force of action or whether you need to take a more to move or shift more of the decision making to the lawyers and take a more concrete and stronger views about what the appropriate legal interpretation should be. I think that's a very important challenge given where we are today on the law of cyber operation. Yeah, certainly and speaking of challenges, we're running short of time here, but I do have one more question for you. Yesterday we talked a lot about artificial intelligence and autonomy, how it is now and how we see it in the future. And so I'll ask you with regard to cyber operations, where do you see this cyber domain heading and what's Israel's role in the future? Well, I spent most of the time allocated to me here speaking about challenges that the cyber operations and cyber technology poses, but I think the real story of course is the opportunities that cyber operations, that cyber technology presents. And I think cyber technology of course creates huge opportunities for cooperation between states. I mentioned the certs as an example, but I think in many more or in many additional fields and certainly in the private sector, cyber has a huge promise of creating technologies that could make and that do make life of all of us much better, make production more efficient, make things cheaper. There are many advantages of course in the cyber field and I think Israel, with our technological capabilities, is very much eager to participate in these positive processes. I really appreciate you participating today with us. I really appreciate your comments and your frank answer to these questions. And we hope you have a great evening and thank you for joining us toward the end of your day. And we look forward to more engagement with you in the future and of course Israel. Thank you very much, doctor. Thank you very much and good luck with the rest of the conference. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now turn to our next panel, which will be led by Herbert Lynn and that will be the attribution of cyber operations. And if I ask Dr. Lynn to join me here on screen, I will say that this panel today is probably the most diverse with regard to time. I think they're breaking the time-space continuum. We have Dr. Lynn from the west coast and it is around close to zero nine his time. And then we have Eval Shaney, who is well into the evening where he is. And then Tomahiro is, well, it's very, very early in the morning and I think Tomahiro is going to win the award for the most painful time to be a panelist here. So we thank him. But so Dr. Herbert Lynn is the Hank J. Holland Fellow in Cyber Policy and Security at the Hoover Institution. And now I turn it over to Dr. Lynn, please. Okay. Thank you for having me. My role here is to present the short version of the some technical background for attribution. And so that's my job for the next 10 minutes. So with that, next slide, please. Okay. So our keynote speaker made reference to this about the conventional wisdom being that you can't attribute cyber operations because the technical forensic information can be faked or false flag with a variety of consequences if you can't, if you can't attribute. But the convention medicine pointed out as a previous speaker pointed out the conventional wisdom is wrong on this or at least it's incomplete. Next slide, please. Okay. I want to present a scenario. It's based on a US computer, but it doesn't matter that it's US. You can read it here. Imagine a US computer is attacked in cyberspace, the attack comes from a computer based in Kansas owned by a grandmother. The computer in Kansas was compromised using a computer in Greece. George was at the keyboard in Greece. George is a citizen of Germany, but also a member of Russian organized crime group. And the leader of the crime group was a close personal friend of the senior leader of the FSB. Who is responsible for the attack on the US computer? And I submit whatever your answer is, only the steps in red can be identified just technically. Everything else is a political or a policy decision. Next slide, please. So when you're talking about attribution, there are three meanings that you need to keep in mind. Are you trying to identify the machine or the machines that are responsible? That's something for the forensic people, the technical guys, the computer science guys. Is it the human operator who initiates the hostile action? That is the guy sitting at the keyboard. That is you have to decide who is sitting at the keyboard. That's not a technical issue. Yes, I know you can activate the guy's computer, the guy's camera on the computer, but he's wearing a mask. So you don't really know who's actually pressing the keys. And then the party who's ultimately responsible for the actions of the human operator, that's a political determination, who set this whole thing in motion. The most important point here is that the first knowing any of those, the machine, the human or the party, does not necessarily give you any information about the others. And that's, you must keep that in mind. So when we talk about the party ultimately responsible, it can be determined by a variety of political decisions. Is it the geographical location of the machine that launched the attack? So therefore, Greece is responsible, because that's where it was. Is it the, because George is a citizen of some country, then it's a German responsibility because its citizen did something bad. And then it could be the entity under whose auspices the individual activity. Is George working for the organized crime cartel? Is the crime cartel responsible? Again, all of these are political decisions. Now, what's the appropriate meaning for attribution? It depends on what you're trying to do. If your goal is to try to mitigate the pain, to stop the pain of the attack as quickly as possible, you need to know the machine. You don't care who's operating the machine, you just want the machine to stop attacking you. If you want to take into it, if you want to prosecute the actor or take him and take the person into custody, you need to actually know the human being who's at the keyboard. You have to know who that is. Are you trying to deter future acts? In that case, you want to know the party who set the whole thing in motion. Next slide, please. Now, what does this attributing to a state mean? There's a whole range of this. This is stolen from a paper that Jason Healy at the Atlantic Council wrote about six or seven years ago. And it's still the best spectrum of meanings of what attribution to a state might mean. It goes all the way from, it might be state prohibited, but the state doesn't have any capability to enforce its prohibitions against it, against third-party actions. Or the state tolerates it, or the state encourages it, or the state directs it, or the state actually conducts it. There are, there's a range of meanings. Again, this is a political decision. You can decide what you want, which one of those levels you want and for what purpose. Next slide, please. Okay. The second, the, the, an important point about attribution is that it is not just about technical intelligence. It's not about forensics alone. Forensics are very important. They tell you, they give you the information about the one, about one attack. But there are many, many other sources of information. For example, you might have preposition sources, you might be monitoring other people's networks, and then you see that they launched an attack. That's useful information. Okay. That's not forensic information from the attack that happened on you, but that, that's from your other intelligence sources. Okay. The other guy make, make, may make some technical mistakes in his, in his trade path. So he might refer, he might use, there might be a character string that turns out to be the name that he used on his dating profile. In which case you can go look up the, the dating profile and, and get some information about him and how do you know? Well, you pretend to be a person who's interested in, in, in, in this person, and then you get him into a conversation and so on. You get, get information that way. There's a potential history of, have they used this weapon or techniques before? It's again, it's not definitive, but it's, it's suggestive. There are operational security failures. The other guy make this, discuss his plans on an open bulletin board or insecure media or brag about it on a cell phone. And there's the, there's a geopolitical context. Who's making demands on, on you? What do they want? And, and what else is going on in the world? All of these sources of information play into, into, into this. What's really hard is prompt attribution. That is to know very quickly who's responsible and that it takes time to analyze and assemble clues. Next slide, please. Okay. And different levels of attribution and certainty of certainty are needed for different goals. If you, in the United States, the standard is beyond a reasonable doubt for criminal prosecution. Okay. But there are lower levels, there are lower levels of certainty. There is the phrase clear and compelling. There is the phrase preponderance of the evidence. We know what that means. It's sort of more than 50%. But the goal here is that you have to convince an impartial jury or judge. And that, that's what you need. In national security decision making, the standards for taking action are much less formal. So due process, rights of the cues, they, they don't have any good analog. So you don't exclude evidence from a tech for a technicality on, in doing national security decision making. They're the audiences ourselves. We need to be convinced of who did it. And it's a separate question of who, who else has to be convinced, for example, the public. So assigning responsibility, the bottom line here is assigning responsibility entails policy choices and not just technology. Next slide, please. Okay. Who are the parties that need to be convinced? So I mentioned one of them are the policymakers. The second possible audience is the, is the, the national public of a, of the attack nation. They have to be convinced that whatever the nation is going to do in response, it's justified. Likely only partial information is going to be available. For example, you might need to protect sources and methods of, of, of intelligence. This part is very, very complicated. At least in the United States, because of huge arguments about what a court of law is and the rights of the accused and really a confusion between criminal proceedings and national security proceedings. You may have to consider the leaders of other nations. And that, that depends on reputation and trust to a large degree. I'll point out that in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Secretary of State went over to DeGaul to ask for his support. And he offered to show President DeGaul the, the pictures of the Russian, of the Soviet missiles in Cuba. And DeGaul said, I'm sorry, I don't need to see them. If the President of the United States says it is true, I believe it. I believe you. And France is with you. We'll stand with you. Can you imagine how that happening now? That, that is just a mind boggling image to consider now. It just wouldn't happen. So, you know, trust makes a big difference here. And then, you know, the attacking government are the non-state actors. They'll never acknowledge it publicly. They know its role. They know what they did. On the other hand, they might be unsure about what you know. And they can maintain plausible deniability unless extensive and undeniable evidence is available, which is highly unlikely. Some people say that naming and shaming helps. It's hard to imagine certain countries being shamed by their being pointed out. In fact, they may want to be caught so that we understand what their powers are and so on. So, and I think that is the last slide. So, with that, I am pleased to introduce my two next speakers. They have prerecorded presentations and then they will be live here to answer and respond to the questions. I'm supposed to moderate that. The first up is Yuval Shani, who is the professor of public law at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. And Tomihara Nekanagi is deputy legal advisor of the Japanese foreign ministry, who oversees international law for Japan, including cyber space. So, with that, Yuval, please, let's have your presentation. Good morning. And thank you for inviting me to this very interesting, disruptive technologies and international law conference. I'm very pleased to participate in this panel and to virtually meet a lot of old friends and colleagues. My presentation will focus on the issue of the possibilities for establishing an attribution mechanism in international law. And it is based on a research project, which I have engaged in in recent years, together with a number of colleagues, including Mike Schmidt, who many of you know, Dan Efroni, who's been the Israeli MAG, Paul Duchain, who's been with the Dutch military, and a number of additional researchers. And that research project was trying to look critically at the question of why have recent efforts to establish an attribution mechanism have come to naught, and whether there is still a space to establish such a mechanism for certain purposes and for certain constituencies. Let me backtrack and try to situate the question of attribution within a broader framework, which is the framework of the rule of law in the field of cyber security. So we all know of these allusions to cyberspace as wild west or a lawless space. And we have all seen many efforts at the parts of lawyers and policymakers to try to reduce that lawlessness by introducing clearer standards, telling manual being one of these efforts and recent annunciations of state's policies in the field of cyberspace. But by a number of mostly European countries, Australia as well, is another effort to introduce a greater role or greater clarity about what international law actually governs cyberspace and hostilities and other forms of operations in cyberspace. But by and large, a paper which Dan Efroni and I have written and published a couple of years ago in the American Journal of International Law, did suggest quite strongly that although some standards clearly apply in cyberspace, there is a strong propensity by states or at least there has been until recently a strong propensity by states not to invoke international law when encountering cyber attacks. And that implied that states that were attacked often didn't acknowledge that they were being attacked. Even when they acknowledged that they were being attacked, they often didn't point a finger towards another state. And they often didn't resort in any overt countermeasures or retortions vis-à-vis the other states. And even if they have done all these things, they have rarely if ever invoked international law when doing so. And in that article Efroni and myself have presented a number of hypotheses as to why international law has been so marginalized and over and beyond the question of whether the norms of international law are adequate to regulate the cyber operations and whether the kinetic international law is fully applicable, is fully amenable to adaptation to cyberspace. It was also quite clear that some key states are not interested in invoking international law because they see international law as in a way limiting their options in this field and serving as a constraint on their ability to operate below the radar screen and to generate deterrence in that path. So there has been some preference for non-legal although we maintain still normative response in cyberspace. But perhaps, and this is really what Schmidt and I have written on in this international law studies piece, on attribution perhaps what one reason for this possibility of utilization of international law in cyberspace has been the limited availability of attribution mechanisms in the following sense that if you are going to make an allegation against a state, if you want to name, blame, shame, another state that they have been involved in a violation of a legal norm in cyberspace, then you should have some way to credibly make your case in the court of public opinion, of world public opinion. And the non-availability of such a mechanism could serve as one explanation for the limited utilization of international law in cyberspace. Now of course this is not this does not mean that states cannot generate technical attribution. Most states can do that and that doesn't mean that states cannot convince their close allies to join themselves in making attribution. They often do and we are seeing a rise in what is called collective attribution statements. But the fact that you do not have a credible international mechanism could serve as a sort of constraint upon these efforts. Now what you could see, what you can see is that the fact that cyberspace in this regard is a sort of anomaly in the sense that in other branches of international law the movement has been towards developing such attribution capacities. So one field where there is a very extensive use of fact-finding as part of the project of improving compliance and strengthening implementation is human rights law, where you have a very broad host of fact-finders such as reporters, fact-finding missions, special treaties, etc. that are raising so to speak the costs of violating international human rights law without paying a price and a similar logic could also apply in cyberspace. But perhaps even more closely related are the developments that we have seen in the field of regulating weapons of mass destruction, where we have seen the major treaties that regulate chemical weapons or the use of nuclear weapons or nuclear testing to have introduced some technological capacity within their respective secret areas that would enable those organizations to perform other requests of state parties what are called challenges inspections or special inspections. And in fact when one is looking at the recent experience of the United Kingdom following the Salisbury attack in 2018 the use of chemical agents vis-à-vis two Russian citizens it is quite interesting to see how although the United Kingdom clearly had the capacity to conduct its own investigation and to identify the chemical agent in question the UK went out of its way to invite OPCW assistance in Salisbury so as to generate greater credibility to its finding and to point the finger more poignantly vis-à-vis Russia and I believe and Schmitt and I in the article claim that the same logic could also apply in certain circumstances also with regard to attribution of responsibility in cyberspace and indeed we think that if one looks at what what recent developments in the last two three years show is that actually we are moving in a direction where the lack of an attribution mechanism is going to prove more and more problematic and that direction comprises of first an increased propensity by states to engage in collective attribution and we have seen a move by states post-war to cry and not Petya to engage in broader and broader collective attribution statements and we believe that without having a credible attribution mechanism there would be limits on the degree to watch to which state would be willing to take victim states at their word in terms of of of joining an attribution statement without actually having some independent independent guarantee independent safeguards to the credibility of the attribution statements and an international mechanism could help in this regard and secondly we have seen a movement toward a more institutionalized sanction regime especially within the context of the EU and here the interplay between generating black lists which impose compulsory sanctions on individuals and groups that are involved in cyber operations and the need for for meeting certain due process requirements in domestic courts this is going to generate a considerable push on European countries to to generate a credible mechanism that would vet these these attribution allegations now add to that a more multilateral outlook by NATO and also by the US in its in its in its cyber policy in its cyber deterrence initiative this all points to an increased attempt to go multilaterally against states and groups within states that engage in in hostile and harmful cyber operation or malicious cyber activity and the argument is that the increased density of multilateralism in in this field of cyber security does does assume or does require a legal infrastructure but also an institutional infrastructure to support this and that an international mechanism that will be optional that would be state centered and that would be that would generate credible attribution findings both for states with limited technological capacity but also more importantly states that need to enhance their diplomatic push capacity and also with as to our company institutions and multilateral initiatives in this field this could be a very important step forward and the past initiatives in this field a principal reason why they have not succeeded has been that they have not closely identified and and hone their scope of power structures ambition so to speak vis a vis that specific constituency and those specific aids so this has been a very brief introduction of the raison d'etre for continuing to pursue the project of developing an international attribution mechanism I'll be very happy during further discussions in this conference and in other venues to continue to think about how we can go forward both with regard to the specifics of what such a mechanism should look like but also with regard to how are we going to get from point A to point B and and basically identify those states and structures that could advance this idea in practical terms thank you very much for your time and attention and next up is the pre-recorded presentation of Tom Harrow hello I am Tomohiro Mikanagi deputy legal advisor of Japanese ministry of foreign affairs it's my great pleasure to participate in this conference I'm working for the government but the following presentation will be made in my personal capacity the following presentation first before addressing the main issue of attribution I will touch upon the ongoing debate concerning violation of sovereignty then I will address the issue of attribution to states under international law and lastly considering the uncertainty about the feasibility of attribution I will briefly talk about due diligence obligation this spring responding to the cyber instance targeting medical facilities amid the pandemic more than 100 public international lawyers coordinated by oxford scholars joined to issue this statement here later in august they issued another statement focusing on the cyber operations targeting vaccine research they strongly endorsed the existence of a primary use prohibiting cyber operations that have serious adverse consequences for essential medical services in the other states the legal basis for this prohibition seems to be the violation of sovereignty the violation of sovereignty is probably the most likely legal basis to be used against actual cross-border cyber operations but there's ongoing debate over the relationship between the violation sovereignty and non-intervention I understand many states including Japan have been recognizing the existence of rules prohibiting violation of sovereignty beyond rules of non-intervention but there are also different views in this context I'd like to draw your attention to article 32b of the Budapest Convention quoted here this provision seems to indicate a participating states view that access by a state to data in another state without lawful and voluntary consent is not allowed if so the legal basis for such restriction seems to be the respect for sovereignty this issue requires further discussion but state practice including those relating to the relevant international agreements should be taken into account with that now I'll move to the main issue of attribution there has been no case before ICJ directly dealing with the issue of attribution of cyber operations to states and most of the so-called attribution statements are ambiguous about the evidence but affidavit on the PAK gene showcase published in 2018 was relatively detailed this affidavit argued that Mr. PAK was a member of the conspiracy behind many cyber incidents and he was working on behalf of the North Korean government this is a figure showing the image of the evidence in the affidavit DPRK is shown in the top right Mr. PAK is shown with a photo in the left small red boxes connected by arrows constitute the IT infrastructure used in cyber operations and blue boxes in the bottom are actual cyber operations affidavit explains that programs using various operations have strong similarities they are indicating the same also it also explains connections between address and accounts used in these operations and those used by Mr. PAK in addition it explains a connection to DPRK including access to these email accounts from IP addresses in DPRK and use of email accounts using these operations by DPRK officials this affidavit gives an impression that it is not impossible to prove the perpetrator implementing cyber operations through these evidence on the other hand due to the multiple layers of aliases and proxies it seems more difficult to obtain evidence proving control by a state over cyber operations regarding the attribution under international law ILC articles on state responsibility clarify the substantive rules of attribution the most relevant article applicable to cyber operations which are likely to be conducted through proxies seems to be article 8 here this article refers to instruction direction for control which requires certain specificity and strength of the influence of the state over the conducting question evidence relating to the use of various components of IT infrastructure and relating to similarities among programs may be able to prove IT infrastructure used in cyber operations and possibly the perpetrator who implemented the operation but due to the aliases and proxies it seems difficult to correct direct evidence proving instruction direction or control by state with regard to the issue of evidence the court channel judgment said when victim state is unable to present direct proof due to the exclusive territorial control by the respondent such as states should be allowed more liberal records to inferences of fact and circumstantial evidence in addition indirect and circumstantial evidence is to be accorded special weight when it is based on the series of facts which are linked together and read logically to a single conclusion that judgment also indicated the relationship between gravity and standard of proof judge Higgins in her separate opinion on the oil platform judgment referred to the general agreement that grave charges require higher standard of proof so this should also mean that less serious charges would require lower standard of proof so the relation of sovereignty is not so serious as use of force or genocide and evidence on attribution of cyber operations emanating from other states is difficult to obtain so we close to indirect and circumstantial evidence should be allowed and the standard of proof for violation of sovereignty should not be as high as in cases concerning use of force or genocide however in order to lead logically to a single conclusion of the existence of instruction direction or control by a state facts showing a strong influence of a state over the IT infrastructure used in cyber operations or over the perpetrator must be collected and linked together here are some cases indicating the existence of such evidence but unfortunately their details are not published so at the moment it is difficult to say whether it is possible to obtain sufficient evidence for proving attribution to states considering this uncertainty as an alternative path to state responsibility applicability of due diligence obligation should also be considered ICJ confirmed in the cork channel judgment every state's obligation not to allow knowingly its territory to be used for acts contrary to the rights of other states this obligation exists as a general obligation under international law and there is a consensus that existing international law applies to cyberspace so there are states including Japan we think this obligation applies to cyber operation however UN members have not yet agreed on whether it applies to cyber operations in order to address the concerns of some states about its extensive application i think it is important to clarify and discuss its core content in this regard uh jurisprudence relating to the concept of due diligence should be referred to among that jurisprudence the alabama arbitral award pointed out that due diligence obligation ought to be exercised in proportion to the risk and bosnian genocide judgment characterized obligation to prevent genocide as due diligence and found its violation by fr wise failure to use this capacity to influence bosnian save army in my view the proportionality to the seriousness and obligation to use the capacity to influence are inherent in the nature of the due diligence so this should be agreed as core content of the due diligence obligation applied to cyber operations this core content would mean if a state is financially or otherwise supporting non-state actor and becomes aware of the risk of the actor to engage in serious cyber operations damaging critical infrastructure of other states the state must stop its support here are the summary of my presentation violations of orientation not be excluded from primary rules of international law applicable to cyber operations and due to the layers of aliases and loxies it seems difficult to obtain direct evidence showing states control over actual operations so recalls to indirect and circumstantial evidence should be allowed and standard proof should be lowered for less serious charges evidence showing states influence over it infrastructure used for cyber operations and perpetrators should contribute to the proof of attribution but it is difficult to say whether it is possible to obtain sufficient evidence for proving attribution to states therefore the application of due diligence obligation should not be denied and discussion on its core content should commence thank you very much for listening okay thank you for both of those presentations and I think now with the scheduled calls for the three of us you've all told my hero and me to get together online live so if our tech people could arrange that that would be great and we can start the the discussion to my hero and you val are you val are you here excellent thank you so the first question here comes from Laura Dickinson and it raises a question which I had too she asks whether the you value proposed to use human rights mechanisms as a model for developing an attribution mechanism and she asks how do you propose to adjust the weakness namely that states often still all special rapporteurs because state consent is required for access and so on and therefore you don't get the the information that you need I had a similar question in that which is that many states will just not be willing to give up the information that they have because of that attribution I know the United States certainly wouldn't be willing to give up information much information about attribution because it comes from sensitive sources and methods so it's wondering how you would address that question right hi there and I was also asked by doki lovati and I have raised this this question by mistake about the cyberspace institute so maybe if there is time I can also take this issue as well we will so so on Laura's question well it's a great question and and of course I mean the human rights model has has many interesting dimensions but also many disadvantage which have been served eight years in one of these bodies I'm painfully aware of but I think what two major differences are one I mean when talking about human rights fact finding normally one is talking about entering into one country in order to ascertain violations committed by that country vis-a-vis its own population here I think that the the problem pattern that we are thinking about is that is somewhat is somewhat different here we're talking about a state that has been the victim of a cyber attack that originated from another state so this is a little bit more like the UK Southbury attack when you have a state a committing an attack against state b and state b actually interested to go out of its way to cooperate with the investigation in order to generate an international finding that would help it diplomatically to turn the table vis-a-vis the attacking state and this also goes to your point herb about the issue of cooperation of course a state that has its own capacity and its own diplomatic possibilities opportunities they may not need such a mechanism but if you take a mid-sized state which may have limited technological capacity and also very limited diplomatic weight so to speak for such a state I mean being transparent vis-a-vis the mechanism of course everything could be still protected by all sorts of confidentiality safeguards for this state this is not a bad this is not a bad deal to get an official finding by an international body that it was the target of an attack so if Ukraine for instance wants to leverage to basically assemble public opinion vis-a-vis Russia in a cyber conflict I think it is it is more likely than not that they will be quite cooperative with an international technical body that would actually look at the evidence look at the computers and assess the data that is available there and just on the side no please continue I was going to say on the cyber peace institute the question by Ido I think that's a great step forward but of course the cyber peace institute is not an international mechanism for fact finding it's a mechanism that collects a lot of information about cyber attacks it includes transparency it provides it developed tools it would also develop norms but it does not engage in specific investigations as to who who did it I mean who was behind specific attacks and this is the gap that we're working on so Yvonne I think that your proposal I mean you made a very clear and compelling case I think for the idea that a mechanism is necessary and would be helpful and I think you have said just now tell me if I'm wrong is that if this is going to work it's going to require full access to at least at the very least the targeted nations uh computers and and so on to to gather forensics and and and and the like uh and may in fact require a range of other information perhaps available from other sources uh to contribute to the judgment is and then if it doesn't have that uh it's like to the extent it doesn't have that it's likely to not succeed yeah I I think you would need to have uh you you need to have a high degree of access to the so so to speak crime scene uh to the forensic in order to get the forensic rights forensics right otherwise I don't think it's going to be very useful and it's not going to have credibility uh I mean we I mean states already do that with private companies it's not so exceptional I mean states do bring in private cybersecurity companies to conduct these sort of investigations and they sign them on to confidentiality agreements and I think you can envision that the similar a similar arrangement would be undertaken with uh with an international attribute interstate into an attribution mechanism that would be bound to the same confidentiality requirements okay um so uh Michael uh Pazanski uh and Michael uh asks also ask you can you speak to the barriers of uh associated with collective attribution uh given the issues of forces and methods yeah I mean exactly this is currently how this is really the the the current impediment that we have because we do have collective attributions at this point in time but the it's basically uh based on some lip of faith I mean states are willing so so so some very close allies I mean the five eyes what have you they share intelligence okay so there are some countries that share uh with each other intelligence and within this small cluster of countries there isn't really a problem but once you start widening the scope and if you really want to get dozens of states on board it this this may not work unless you find ways to generate trust so basically just taking a state on its uh on on on its word I mean this is this is not likely to fly very high and it's going to look as if the states that have you know uh joined ranks with the state that have been attacked have done this out of political reasons and not because they are trying you know to uphold the legal principle and that would make also the collective attribution considerably uh less persuasive in the court of world opinion and and would also raise question marks especially if some legal measures are attached to that such as you know freezing uh freezing bank accounts the issuing personal sanctions or taking even hackbacks or what have you so so uh so this is really what's the impediment that we are seeing now and the proposal here is really to fix this by creating you know introducing an option and mechanism option for states who are willing to share of course states who are not willing to share information would still have to go it alone and and you know rely on trust that they are able to generate but but for some states this could be an an opening okay thank you um uh the question for a tomahiro from from uh professor kanahara uh who asks whether it is possible to apply um uh the uh article eight from the articles of state responsibility because uh the unclear definition of instruction direction and and and control uh so i was wondering if you could respond to to that question yes uh thank you for the question uh professor kanahara um i agree these uh uh time knowzies are not clearly defined so it is uh not appropriate to rely on each a term in detail but i think the the general thrust of this article eight is you need to explain certain specific specificity about uh you know attribution uh some influence by the state over the perpetrator who are arguing for uh the attribution uh to the state and uh generally speaking it is difficult to get uh obtain uh information evidence uh directly showing the uh you know uh strong influence of uh state over the perpetrator so i don't i agree that this uh article itself is not uh clearly defined and but still it has a kind of uh indication that you need to be careful when you are attributing to a state and you need to show some evidence showing a strong uh connection to state uh okay and i'm going to take one one more from uh uh eric jensen hi eric um uh that uh our keynote speaker stated uh with that with respect to that sovereignty uh can't be assumed uh the customary rule and other domains automatically applies into the cyber domain that is you can't assume the sovereignty right there do you agree with that uh statement with respect to sovereignty from harrow so i couldn't hear your question um could you repeat all right it's in it's in the uh chat if you want to take a look um the our keynote speaker said that uh with respect to sovereignty that it can't be assumed that the customary rule on other domains automatically applies to cyber do you agree with that and does it strengthen your argument uh here uh that's do do do do diligence yeah um that is a very good question i think uh general speaking uh existing international law should apply and uh in my view you know uh violation of sovereignty and due diligence are general principles and general obligation of states uh which should apply to any areas of international law but on the other hand cyber uh space have its uh kind of a uh unique character and it is uh you don't need to be very cautious in applying these general uh a little bit ambiguous concepts to this particular unique uh space so i uh my approach is probably different from the keynote speaker i'm starting from the uh applicability of the general obligation uh to cyberspace but i also agree that approach uh must be very careful and cautious so uh special uh character of cyberspace should be taken into account when applying this uh general obligation thank you okay thank you i think that's it for our time uh here thank you very much uh for all of uh the questions again apologies to people who have not been able to get into queue thank you gentlemen thank you very much and dr lin thank you for moderating it and again i thank each of you for joining us at what is most notably inconvenient times for all three of you we appreciate that um and at that we will turn to our lunch break we will come back on at 330 for a panel that is co-sponsored by the rural air force and that panel will address perfidy ruses and blockades and cyberspace interesting to be sure thank you again very much and have a wonderful lunch welcome back from the break everyone it's now my great pleasure to introduce the moderators plural for uh our next panel um a vice marshal tam jennings ob is the director of legal services of the rural air force and during her distinguished career in the r r she served in myriad roles including deployments to kosovo iman borrain and canada alongside headquarters one uk armored division her operational tour advising the uk red hot car holder sorry in the kalk and alidit saw her awarded in aac's commendation a corner mark felt so he's the deputy director of legal services for the rural air force he served as legal advisor to special operations command elements in afghanistan and acted as chief advisor to the official protect which is the 2011 campaign in libya he's also currently undertaking research for phd focused on the legal ethical and moral implications for tomas warfare so mom over to you and thank you karen thank you very much um firstly i must thank uh rear admiral chatfield um for her kind words yesterday and also professor james casca for the invitation today and also for allowing karen the opportunity to organize this conference it's no surprise to me that what i've seen so far has been first class it is my great pleasure alongside my colleague air come adorn mark felps to act as a moderator for this panel he'll ask the questions to avoid confusion uh in typical officer senior officer fashion um i delegated that part of the moderation to him um the use of ruses and blockades have a long history in the art of war as has the condemnation of killing by treachery so this panel will look to clarify how if at all such longstanding methods of warfare applying an error of cyber operations so without further ado let me introduce our first panelist kubo machak is a legal advisor in the icrc's legal division and he's also the general editor of the cyber law toolkit which is an inline an online interactive resource on the international law of cyber operations kubo over to you good afternoon from geneva uh it is a pleasure to be here and to speak today about cyber deception during armed conflict on behalf of the international committee the red cross and so during today's brief talk i'm going to focus on specifically rules on perfidy and ruses of war as they apply in the cyber context and i'll try to illustrate it on a few practical examples so before we begin we have to ask ourselves what we actually understand under deception and you know weaving together approaches from military doctrine and psychology and general dictionary definitions let me propose the following working definition that under the deception we're going to understand the use of measures that are designed to mislead another by either manipulation distortion fabrication or falsification of information in order to induce the misled party to act or fail to act as the case may be in a way that's prejudicial to their interests now in the cyber context when we talk about deception this may relate to a number of things it may relate to the origin of the cyber operation so meaning where it is actually launched from so we can think of you know false flag operations as those that deceive us to the origin of the operation it can deceive us to the nature of the cyber operation you know uh it can masquerade emplacement of malware as legitimate communication or the effects of the cyber operation so it might appear to freeze computers but in fact what it does is it wipes the data of those computers and it can also relate to information that concerns persons objects or events in the physical world and we will see that how that can happen on some of our examples so when we talk about deception in the context of ihl of course for the icrc the step is that ihl as a body of law applies to cyber operations during armed conflicts now this is still an issue that is being debated by states but i think it's fair to say that a growing number of states accept and affirm the applicability of ihl to cyber operations during armed conflicts and so this is going to be the premise on which the rest of the talk is made or is based but that being said we have to acknowledge that ihl is not the only legal framework or not even often the most appropriate legal framework for all conduct even during an armed conflict and so what is relevant here is that the acting question or the conducting question must have a sufficient link to an ongoing armed conflict so you know what we refer to this to this test is the nexus requirement and it's maybe better illustrated on a specific example so in the cyber context if we have a non-combatant who uses deception to infect some computer systems with malware and then this person this non-combatant attempts to extract ransom from the users of those computers now this is clearly a cyber operation involving deception it might even take place during an ongoing armed conflict and it might even take advantage of for example the less defectiveness of the police during the armed conflict but it would still not be governed by ihl because of its lack of nexus to the country and so you know the applicable legal framework to assess such a cyber operation would be the domestic criminal law in the territory in question but now there are of course many operations that will have this nexus so let's have a look at how ihl will apply to them now i would propose that we put these types of operations on a so-called deception spectrum so let's start with examples that are clearly prohibited and so this is the notion of prohibited perfidy and in identifying the elements of prohibited perfidy we are basing ourselves on article 37 paragraph one of additional protocol one and also rule 65 of the icrc customer international military law study and so on that basis we see that the key elements are that the cyber operation needs to relate to a protection that's provided for in ihl for example the protection of civilians or protection of civilian objects against the tax then this cyber operation must invite the confidence of the adversary that they are either entitled to receive this protection or that they must accord this protection to someone else then thirdly there is a condition that the perpetrator must intentionally betray the adversary's confidence so it invites and then betrays that confidence and then finally the cyber operation in question must result in the adversary's death or injury and in the icrc's view also capture and i would say that perhaps with the exception of that last word the rest of the definition is not so controversial even under customer international law although i'm very happy to discuss it in the q&a afterwards now moving on with our spectrum on the other side of the spectrum we have permitted russies now permitted russies are cyber in the cyber context are cyber operations that do rely on deception to mislead the adversary because if it didn't rely on deception we would be outside of the scope of today's panel today's of my talk and of what we are doing but there are two additional conditions the second condition is that the cyber operation itself must not infringe any rule of ihl and then the third condition is that the cyber operation does not invite the confidence of the adversary with regard to the protection under ihl and so together these three conditions can be identified on the basis again of article 37 but now its second paragraph in additional protocol one and it also reflects the rule as it was identified in the icrc's customer international humanitarian law study in rule 57 now often when perfidy and russies are discussed this is where the investigation ends but i would put it to you that the spectrum actually consists of quite an important part of the types of conduct that fall between perfidy and russies and so this is the area or the idea of non-prohibited perfidy now in the words of the icrc's commentary on additional protocols between prohibited perfidy and permitted russies of war there is quote unquote a sort of a gray area of perfidy which is not explicitly sanctioned as such but what we must keep in mind is that even though these types of conduct that we might describe as perfidious but because they will fail to meet all four conditions of perfidy they will not amount to prohibited perfidy they may still fall foul of other rules of ihl and so maybe the best way how to do that is to look at specific examples so let me move on to three such examples and for their discussion let's let us assume that we are in an international armed conflict for the sake of simplicity so ihl clearly applies and let me give you three examples that you can think about and see where you would place them on the spectrum that we have just discussed so first of all let's have a situation in which there is a humanitarian organization we will not give you the name which designs a phone application that's used by the beneficiaries now unfortunately one of the belligerents hacks into that phone application and then using the platform using the phone app that's that was designed by the humanitarian organization this belligerence starts sharing fake messages with the beneficiaries and so what it does is for example it tells them to arrive at a certain destination where aid will be dispersed and so the civilian population does that and in doing so they block a bridge and as a result the enemy cannot send reinforcements which leads to a big military advantage for the belligerent that was active so you see the the element of deception now i'm going to leave the legal analysis on the side for the time being let's now have a look at the second example so the second example here we have fake military networks so what's this what does this represent what is this idea so this idea is that one of the belligerents sets up fake digital platforms and it does that in order to dissimulate its own real military networks and so the effect is that the enemy who wants to penetrate the military networks of first belligerent is spending a lot of time and a lot of resources trying to compromise the fake systems and again this results in a military advantage to the first belligerent and then thirdly let's consider an example of a fake civilian airliner so in this example one belligerent gains unauthorized access to the enemy's air traffic systems and so as it does that it manipulates the system of the enemy to misidentify an incoming attack aircraft as a civilian airliner so there is an incoming attack aircraft but because of the unauthorized access to the enemy system it gets mischaracterized misidentified as a civilian airliner but then the military aircraft conducts a successful attack against the enemy which results in the deaths of combatants belonging to that side of the conflict so again third advantage through the means of deception now let's move back to our spectrum that I described earlier on so how would we analyze these cases so let's start firstly with the military networks now clearly this cyber operation relies on deception to mislead the adversary right because it leads them to believe that these networks have a military value but it does not infringe any rule of IHL there is no rule of IHL against creating false networks and in fact decoys are expressly mentioned in article 37 paragraph 2 as a permissible use of war and then finally the cyber operation does not invite the confidence of the adversary with respect to protection under IHL because the networks even if they were real they would constitute the military objective so they would not be protected under IHL so we can place this example under permitted loses now secondly let's take the civilian airliner now this I would put it to you much clearly falls under prohibited perfectly why well we mentioned four conditions so first of all there must be a protection provided by IHL yes here we have the protection of civilian objects like like a civilian airliner against attack the operation must invite the confidence of the adversary that they must accord that protection yes they believe that they cannot attack this that this supposed airliner then thirdly the perpetrator must intentionally betray the adversaries and so again yes this condition is met because it betrays the confidence by using that confidence to launch an attack through the actual military aircraft and then finally the cyber operation must result in the adversary's death injury or capture and we have said that the attack was lethal so this operation would qualify as prohibited perfectly and then finally we have the fake aid application the fake aid or the abuse of the humanitarian app so I would put it to that this falls somewhere in the middle because the operation does not meet all of the four conditions of perfectly and specifically it does mislead someone but it does not mislead the adversary right so it doesn't meet the second and the third condition because it does not invite or betray the confidence of an adversary but it invites and and perhaps betrays the confidence of the civilian population of the beneficiaries of this act so as regards as far as the spectrum of from perfidy to russis is concerned such an operation does not violate the prohibition of perfidy but that does not mean that the operation is permitted by IHL it could amount to a violation of number of different rules of IHL which we don't have enough time for today but it could be the misuse of established indicators right if this is an app that uses for example the red cross as its emblem it might amount to a violation of the obligation to respect and protect humanitarian relief personnel and it might also amount to a violation of the prohibition on the use of human shields so there might be other rules of IHL that would be implicated by this particular operation now if you would like to explore these issues further as you might know the ICRC is involved in the cyber law toolkit project along with several partners and so just a few weeks ago we actually issued a big update of the project and one of the new scenarios focuses specifically on cyber deception during armed conflicts so if you look at that particular scenario which is scenario 15 you will find some of the case studies I mentioned today and much more and I hope you will find it useful and I hope that you found this presentation interesting and I look forward to continuing it in the Q&A afterwards thank you. Great thank you our second speaker is Jeff Biller who is an assistant professor of cyber law and policy with CyberWorks which is a department of the United States Air Force Academy he's also the co-director of the Air Force Academy's law technology and welfare research cell over to you Jeff. Hello my name is Jeff Biller I'm an assistant professor of cyber law and policy and the co-director of the law technology and warfare research cell at the United States Air Force Academy I'd like to issue a very special thank you to the Stockton Center for inviting me to participate in this conference the Stockton Center is a place as a very special place in my heart having spent three wonderful years there as indicated on the screen today's discussion is on protected indicators in cyberspace a long-held protection under IHL exists for aid organizations such as the ICRC and observer organizations such as the UN these groups are distinguished through the use of various indicators governed by an extensive body of law international humanitarian law the basic notion of extending the body of IHL regarding these indicators into cyberspace is uncontroversial however a full agreement does not yet exist as to what constitutes recognized indicators in the cyber domain the IHL rules against the improper use of protected and recognized indicators developed as a recognition to the need to protect certain classes of individuals organizations and locations on the battlefield from targeting by combatants as such the law focuses primarily on these emblems use as concrete visible representation although it is unlikely that the use of protected indicators in a purely electronic environment was initially envisaged I believe the language within the relevant articles is broad enough to encompass its extension into the cyber domain the first Geneva Convention defines the emblem of the Red Cross and delineates its permissible use specifically GC1 states that the emblem and the words Red Cross may not be employed either in time of peace or in time of war except to indicate or to protect the medical units and establishment the personnel and material protected by the present convention and other conventions dealing with similar matters similarly article 38 of AP one prohibits the improper use of the distinctive emblem of the Red Cross Red Crescent or Red Lion and Sun and also to make use of the distinctive emblem of the United Nations except as authorized by that organization the 2016 commentary to GC1 notes that the GC emblems may serve both as a protective device indicating protection under the convention and as an indicative sign demonstrating it's a connection to the organization of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent although the indicative uses use does not imply that the bear holds protections under the convention its improper use is still prohibited AP one does not address the indicative use focusing on the protective use which provides a visible sign of the protection conferred by international law on certain persons and objects unlike misuse of the emblem as an indicative sign the ICRC customary international law study found that a misuse of the protective function could implicate the prohibition on perfidy GC1 article 53 further expands the law relating to the GC emblems including any sign or designation constituting an imitation thereof whatever the object of such use by including imitations thereof such as the abbreviation ICRC article 53 broadens the prohibition and suggests that abbreviations or approximations of the words Red Cross that are meant to imitate an official representation would violate this prohibition AP one also prohibits the unauthorized use of the distinctive emblem of the UN however the treaty law governing the UN emblem is less expansive than that of the Red Cross emblem and protects neither the words United Nations nor approximations thereof additional categories of protected emblem signs and signals established under international law include the head for an AP one prohibition against the improper use of a flag of truth and the AP one prohibition against the deliberate misuse and an armed conflict of other internationally recognized protective symbols signs or signals recognize protected indicators include those markings that indicate objects or locations such as installations containing dangerous forces cultural property among others unlike the prohibition on perfidy there is an absolute character to those prohibitions meaning that there is no requirement for a particular result following the prohibited misuse extension of the basic rule prohibiting making improper use of the protective emblem signs or signals that are set forth in the log armed conflict into the cyber domain is relatively uncontroversial however protected indicators signal the ability to trust and trust plays a prominent role in network security systems which depend on forming trust relationships between parties before allowing access and sharing information masquerading as a party known to be a trusted agent by a target system is frequently a frequently used method of defeating network security there are many other cyber methods that involve violations of the trust relationship but addressed here are variations on phishing internet protocol spoofing and domain name spoofing and these are mentioned as a way of contextualizing and exploring these rules first of the use of phishing a type of social engineering to manipulate authorized system users into providing information and thus allowing unauthorized system access this manipulation occurs in the cyber context through the use of email e-messaging or online communications the talon international group of experts the ige addressed this situation citing the example of an adversary sending an email with the bare assertion that the sender is a delegate of the international committee of the red cross the ige found no misuse in this example despite the use of the words red cross although gc1 article 44 specifically protects these words from unauthorized use the presumed argument is that the operator's use of the words red cross is not formal enough to be considered as an emblematic identifier however if the words were implored in a more formal manner such as in an email signature block letterhead to an attachment or another manner formally indicating an official red cross document there is a much stronger argument that the use violates the gc1 article 44 prohibition the second type of operation is a related type of phishing campaign but with the aim of tricking the target operator into taking cyber base self-defeating actions this method uses social media messaging and websites to induce the target into either downloading malicious attachments or following web links to malicious websites like other types of social engineering these attacks rely on the target operator trusting the email website or attachment such that they will take the desired action protected emblems could easily be implanted into the email message or website to induce trust in the target as the actual protected emblem would clearly be used in such an unauthorized manner this is a clear ihl violation the talent ige came to the same conclusion on this question a third method illustrating misuse of emblems is ip spoofing or internet protocol spoofing here cyber operators attempt to gain unauthorized system access by creating a malicious message that appears to originate from a trusted machine imitating its ip address for example spoofing an ip address associated with the icrc to defeat a firewall that relies on ip addresses for filtering the primary question is whether ip addresses should be viewed as a legal indicator of a protected organization the sphere is logical given the widespread use of ip addresses as trust indicator by cyber operators for example a defensive operator may specifically program a firewall to permit connections from icrc or un ip addresses during an armed conflict these connections may allow communications regarding the treatment of wounded or prisoners of war if an adversary were to spoof these ip addresses the network operator may be forced to block communications from these previously trusted sources permitting a party to a conflict to represent a communication as coming from the icrc or un appears to run counter to the intent of ihl article 31 of the vina vina convention on the law of treaties states that a treaty should be interpreted partly in the light of its object and purpose however the same treaty also states that treaties should be interpreted in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of the treaty in their context provisions governing use of the emblems suggest an element of general awareness or recognition of the emblem as such thus it is unlikely that a spoofed icrc ip address could be considered as an imitation of the emblem under article 33 article 53 standard given the lack of general awareness as to what the sequence of numbers in an ip address specifically indicates the fourth method for analysis involves the spoofing of email addresses or domain names by spoofing an email address such as ic at icrc dot org and the recipients from field the operator hopes to induce either the target system to allow the email through the firewall or a target individual to trust the contents of the email once this trust is established the operator may then use that connection to conduct the next phase of a cyber operation similarly a domain name system hijacking operation may send an unwitting target to access the icrc.org or un.org websites to his spoofed website containing malicious links or false information here the focus is on domain names which serve to provide users with a recognizable identity to resources found on the internet although related to ip addresses domain names differ in that they often contain an organization's name or abbreviation as opposed to the numerical designator of an ip address the narrower protection for the un emblem which does not include the name united nations or approximations eliminates its applicability from this analysis the relevant question as to the red cross is whether a spoofed email address or domain name containing the words red cross the acronym icrc or similar abbreviation would constitute an imitation thereof the talent ige struggled with the issue and laid out two potential approaches the first approach argued that the email address and domain names are not protected indicators because they do not constitute electronic reproductions of the relevant graphic emblems this approach may overlook the prohibitions in article 44 and 53 on the unauthorized use of the words red cross or an imitation thereof when they function as an indicative or protective emblem the second approach found the key factor to be the use of an indicator upon which others would reasonably rely and extending protection provided for under the law of armed conflict thus the imitation of the icrc.org domain name or email address would be an unauthorized use because as the ige states it invites confidence as to the affiliation of the originator although the ige does not reference article 53 this view would be consistent with the article's inclusion of any sign or designation constituting an imitation thereof given the ubiquitous use of the acronym icrc it would be hard to argue that it does not constitute an imitation thereof therefore the second approach of the ige appears to be a more accurate reflection of it the various methods of phishing and spoofing are not the only types of cyber operations that implicate the rules against misuse of protected emblems however they highlight methods in which protected indicators might be used in remote access cyber operation they also serve to help identify which cyber indicators could constitute protected indicators and reveal gaps where adversaries could take advantage of the trusted nature of organizations such as the icrc and un to conduct offensive cyber operation thank you very much for your time and i look forward to your questions thank you and our our third presenter is professor von heinsteil von heinig who holds the chair of public law at the europea university at via drina in frankfurt germany he's also a former charles h stockton professor of international law at the us naval college and he contributed to talent two on the international law applicable to cyber operations i'm looking forward to hearing this presentation thank you ladies and gentlemen let me first of all thank the organizers for having invited me to this very interesting and i think important workshop i am von heinsteil von heinig from germany and i have been tasked to talk about cyber locates um but before i start i would like to clarify some basic issues so when i'm talking about cyberspace i'm not using any of the proposed definitions but as the joint chiefs of staff of the united states i'm looking at cyberspace uh from the perspective of the three layers model but irrespective of all this it is quite clear that the special characteristics of cyberspace are of course interconnectivity and ubiquity now when it comes to the notion of cyber operations i'm again making use of the recent do d law of war manual so we are talking about cyber operations if and to the extent we are employing cyber capabilities with the primary purpose of achieving objectives in or through cyberspace one of these or two of these objectives could be the disruption or the denial of data or information resident in the respective target systems so this begs the question of whether the disruption or denial of data to a given state or from a given state would qualify as a cyber blockade well of course if what you see here on the world's map are the world's ip addresses and of course arguably denying the access or the transmission of data let's say to the us east coast or the transmission from the us east coast to other countries could arguably qualify as a blockade but let us first look at what a blockade is a blockade is a method of warfare of course it is characterized by the line in the case of naval warfare which other vessels may not cross either from the inside or from the outside the consequence of any such breach of blockade would be the capture of the vessel the same holds true for aerial blockades this might of the fact that aerial blockades were only considered as being a method of air warfare recently the sources which apply to blockades naval and air blockades are as you can see considerably old we have to go back to the 1856 Paris declaration then we have two informal documents like such as the 1909 Blondon declaration just one provision of the Oxford manual of 1913 arguably article 70 of the additional protocol at least for the state's parties to that treaty would be applicable to blockades and then again we have two private drafts the 1994 Sunway manual on the law of naval warfare which more or less repeats the rules of the 1909 London declaration and the 1856 Paris declaration and finally the 2009 missile warfare manual on aerial blockades what all these rules have in common are the following requirements blockades must be declared a notified they must be applied that means also enforced impartially including your own aircraft and your own vessels they may be maintained by a combination of all lawful means of warfare and the locate is valid only if it is effective which of course is a question of fact access to neutral territory may not be barred and there are two further requirements of a humanitarian design which are not all too relevant for cyber so can we imagine a situation to which these traditional routes that have been developed for naval and aerial blockades to apply to a cyber blockade but of course arguably the prevention of egress or ingress of data traffic and information to and from the parts of an enemy state would arguably qualify as something which would deserve the name cyber blockade if you look at some of those who propose the notion of cyber blockade to have become part and parcel of international law they are referring first of all to the 2007 cyber DDoS attacks against Estonia and secondly they are referring to the 2008 cyber operations against Georgia in its armed conflict with the Russian Federation and in fact in that conflict we had again DDoS attacks quite sophisticated and we had a defacement of public websites and what is more interesting Georgia's internet traffic was blocked or could be blocked almost entirely because it was then depending on rules through the Russian Federation now if we took the position that any of these situations qualified as a cyber blockade then the law of blockade would have to be observed in other words such a blockade needs to be declared and notified it must be enforced impartially and in order to be valid it must be effective in other words there must be a high probability that all data can no longer be transmitted from or to the blockaded territory and this is already reflected in the law as it stands today what about a cyber operation which merely has internal effects such in the case of the DDoS attacks against Estonia or Georgia and finally just consider the cutting of a submarine communication cable that would compromise the connectivity of the target state whatever that have been qualified as a blockade or as an operation subject to the rules that were drafted for naval or aerial blockades well if you look at the talent manual you may be very disappointed of course some of the experts believe that there were some similarities between a traditional blockade and a cyber operation that would at least deny the transmission of data to or from a given state but at the end of the day the international group of experts was not able to arrive at any consensus so the only rules they provided in the talent manual 2.0 was traditional blockades which are enforced including by cyber means but the experts were not able to arrive at a consensus according to which a concept of a cyber blockade would already be part of international law as it exists today and let me add that it's never a good idea to draw conclusions by analogy this was already done in 1923 with the Hague rules on air warfare where the experts there simply copied and pasted the law of naval warfare and they replaced the term vessel with aircraft and then they suddenly presented the 1923 Hague rules on air warfare however as Spade has rightly stated in 1947 without any precedence without any cases without any state practice that would allow any of the conclusions they arrived at in 1923 so I think we simply have to be patient we should not hurry to apply some rules of the traditional law of armed conflict only because of some similarities with the interception of aircraft and vessels accordingly the next letter is to be understood as follows the concept of cyber blockade has not yet been recognized and has not yet become part and parcel of the law of armed conflict the prevention of data transmission into or from a given country is in other words lawful and if at all subject to only a few legal restrictions such as the rules on submarine cables but let me remind you the only provision on submarine cables is article 54 of the 1907 Hague regulations so for the time being any interference with the transmission of data to or from an enemy state in an international armed conflict is not subject to the rules applicable to traditional naval or area blockades I thank you for your attention and I'm looking forward to the discussion gentlemen thank you very much for your very interesting presentation this evening I think we'll kick off with a question to Cuba if I may picking up on your example you gave a little bit earlier in relation to the hacking of a humanitarian convoy can you elaborate on that little please because I'm interested if that isn't falling within perfectly what rules of international humanitarian law do you think may have been convened in those circumstances okay thank you for the question so that relates to the sort of middle example that I mentioned during my talk so we had this example of a phone app that's developed by a humanitarian organization and then the belligerents hacking to the application to to achieve a military advantage through misleading the beneficiaries of this app now like I said this would not amount to a prohibited perfidy but the rules that we would consider would be I think first and foremost and that would be irrespective of which humanitarian organization it would be as long as it would be considered an independent and impartial so truly would be the obligation to respect and protect humanitarian personnel because this application is meant to be used by human personnel and so if someone takes control over it and uses this to the detriment that then leads to the loss of trust in the provider of the application by the beneficiaries and of course it also interferes with the with the with the activities of the humanitarian organization but I think what can be more interesting and then there is an overlap with Jeff's excellent presentation is whether it could also amount to a misuse of protective indicators and so this is something that we looked into in the scenario but then it would depend which organization we are talking about so if it was as in the cyber law toolkit scenario that I referred to if the application was indeed run by the ICRC and it would use the the nomination red cross in the application's name then there are two interpretations and so we detailed that in the scenario but it's interesting to consider that by taking control over the application the hackers thus are at least under one interpretation are for the duration of their malicious cyber activity they are utilizing this denomination denomination red cross in a way that would not be consistent with article 40 for one of the questions mentioned and thus under this interpretation it would also amount to a violation of financial so there are other rules that it also depends on what exactly happens in practice like the prohibition on human on the use of human shields but so I think I would highlight those two as the primary ones thank you thank you very much for that um if I if I can pose a question to to Wolf please um the question we have is if a state successfully manages to prevent the transmission of data in and out of another state outside of the confines of an armed conflict would you consider the sanctions would amount to armed attack triggering sorry triggering a state's right for self-defense sorry professor we've got you on uh we've got you on silent I'm so sorry um yeah I'm getting too old for this um so I apologize so uh triggering the right of self-defense would require an armed attack so blocking data traffic into or from a country well hardly qualifies as an armed attack that would trigger the respective state's right of self-defense and the remember it needs to be an armed attack and if you follow the IC the ICJ it would mean that it would be a very great form of a use of force and uses of force as was stated by Roy Schöndorf in his keynote they all require at least some damage destruction injury or death so the mere blocking of data may result in inconvenience but would certainly not have the effects of a traditional use of force of a sufficient gravity to qualify as an armed attack thank you for your comprehensive answer um uh I think we have a couple of questions in the Q&A now if I can just turn to one um if I open up to to generally to the panel the question is is reasoning by analogy that is applying existing rule to an unregulated issue to the extent of the similarities between the two ratios an illegally relevant point not a usual form of legal reasoning common to all legal systems and subscribe to the rule of law is is it not based on the concept of equality before law and the idea of justice and so looking there at taking what we have already in international law and applying it to cyberspace to see if we we get to equality rules um I would imagine that's more aimed at the idea of blockade so perhaps Wolf if you take that to begin with yes analogy is common to many maybe even all legal systems but to use analogy in international law is I think not a good idea international law must always be based on a sufficient consensus of states and even though you may be able in theory to identify a gap as for example with regard to cyber operations that does not mean that you can borrow from existing rules only because there are some similarities because even if you accept it which I don't the concept of analogy in international law then you would still have to identify that the gap has been unintended and had the states took the taken notice of the gap they would have regulated in a similar manner as they did in other areas and I don't think that you can apply that in international law so it simply doesn't work if you don't mind my hopping and I would definitely agree with with Wolf on what he just said and I would also add that if you were however to do that analogy I would think you would want there to be significantly similar circumstances in order to achieve that analogy and the question with cyber is are our cyber operations so fundamental fundamentally different than other types of military operations that the analogy just breaks down too quickly and I do think that's the case I think there's such significant differences in and how cyber operations work how they're conducted you know all the issues that we've talked about today right the the tangibility of data the ideas of attacks these are all such fundamentally different things in the cyber domain that even if you were to argue that you could reason by analogy I think in this case it's just too attenuated and the analogy would break down too quickly thank you. Cooper do you have anything on this point at all? Sure I'm happy to come in so let me try to advance a slightly different approach and I'm putting off my head as my CRC representative and kind of meet to be in a recovering academic so my view of international law is that it's a harmonious system and the states we cannot only expect states to approach it on a very casuistic basis international law does have also general rules of interpretation that states have agreed on and those and so you know some of them are now considered to be reflective of customer international law for example the treaty interpretation rules that we find in the Vienna Convention on the World Treaties and perhaps we're not saying different things here but I would argue that we cannot be so casuistic as to always expect that there would be a singular state practice and opinionaries for every situation that might occur and so because that's unrealistic we also have these general approaches general principles general ways of reasoning and of interpreting agreed rules and thus we might arrive through interpretations also without there being a specific amount of opinionaries and practice on every given situation so that's my defense on this question. Gentlemen thank you all so much for your contributions I'm being told that we are actually out of time but I'm sure that the questions that are still in the Q&A box can be archived and maybe can be presented to you in different format for you to engage with at a later point can I thank you for your involvement today though and for your very interesting observations thank you. Thank you sir thank you for all our panelists we'll now take a short break and reconvene at 14 30 hours so about nine minutes okay well welcome back last but by certainly no means least we have our final panel today which is co-sponsor is with one of our co-sponsors here for the conference the U.S. Air Force Academy. I'm very excited to hear what the panelists have got to say on this issue and let me first introduce our moderator today which is Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Goines who came to the Air Force in 2004. He currently serves as a senior military faculty assistant professor of law U.S. Air Force Academy and is there that he teaches cyber law and serves as the director of the law technology and warfare research cell. So sir over to you. Thank you very much good afternoon. First on behalf of the United States Air Force Academy I want to thank the Stockton Center for hosting this week's conference and for inviting a number of us to participate thank you especially to Lieutenant Colonel Cherry and Squadron Leader Tinkler for their efforts this week in hosting what has been thus far a fantastic conference. For the third of three panels on cyber operations we will begin by addressing the evolving state practice in cyber operations. As cyber capabilities near ubiquity we are starting to see more and more states beginning to provide their views on how international law applies to cyber operations. For example New Zealand recently published a position paper on the topic and as you heard in this morning's presentation Dr. Scheindorf spoke about Israel's position regarding the application of international law cyber operations specifically addressing topics such as whether data is an object sovereignty power measures among others. As Dr. Scheindorf analogized it this area of the law it's like a tree a nascent seedling just now growing roots. So it's very timely for us to discuss how state practice is evolving and how this tree is starting to function. We have three great panelists for our discussion. First is Professor Eric Talbot Jensen a former army judge advocate who is currently serving as a professor of law at Brigham Young University over to the Stockton Center for Professor Jen. Hello my name is Eric Talbot Jensen and I am a professor at Brigham Young University Law School. I am happy to be a part of this conference on disruptive technology and international law and I'm especially grateful to be part of this panel on evolving state practice and cyber operations. I'd like to start by sharing my screen with you and walking you through some slides. This conference but especially this panel deals with disruptive technologies as you know. Now when we think of disruptive technologies there are lots of things we could think about autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, neuromorphic weapons, human brain machine interface, bio enhancement, virology, nanotechnology, quantum computing all of these things may be considered disruptive technologies and some have been on the top of the topics previously discussed in this conference. My task however is to talk to you about cyber operations and I believe that of all these interventions cyber tools are in a special category with respect to disruptive technologies. To do that I want to convince you of that. I want to take you for a brief moment into the business world. You see there a picture of Professor Clayton M. Christensen from the Harvard Business School. He introduced to the world this idea of disruptive innovation. I'll let you read the slide that describes what disruptive innovation is. I want to draw your attention to the fact that the innovation is not a breakthrough in technology rather the thing that makes the innovation disruptive is that it makes products that previously were not accessible now accessible and affordable to people. In other words it's not a leap forward in science but rather making those innovations those scientific innovations broadly accessible. As this slide reflects it's the simplicity, convenience, accessibility, and affordability of innovation that is most important. The impact is not because of a movement forward rather because of a movement across the field. Now here are three factors that make innovation disruptive. I've given three examples here. The long life light bulb, the personal computer, the smartphone. These innovations were not really leaps forward in and of themselves it was really their accessibility that made them disruptive. The fact that now all of us had access to those kinds of tools. So let me bring this back to cyber operations. You see I have two pictures there. One a hacker, one a tank. Not many of us have neighbors who have tanks parked in their driveway or battleships or carriers or ages cruisers or F-16s etc. Those kinds of tools require state level resources. On the other hand cyber tools don't require state level resources. Really cyber tools are accessible to certainly to criminal gangs, to transnational criminal gangs, to terrorist groups, and even to individuals. This devolution of state level violence through cyber tools to non-state actors and even individuals has forced states to seriously think about what that impact will be on national security. So this really brings me to the topic of the panel which is how has this disruptive cyber technology impacted state practice? Well here's what I believe. Now let me be clear. I am not one of those who is calling for new law or thinks current law is inadequate. However what we do see through state practice is that states are starting to look at fundamental principles of international law in a different way because of this disruptive technology of cyber operations. So this course is well let me back up. If I don't think that we need new law what do we do? Well we evolve the law through state practice. Again I think just on the fringes but we evolve the law through state practice. So I want to focus us on state practice and I want to particularly look at US state practice and I know most of you are very well aware of these provisions but let me briefly walk through these five provisions that I think reflect current US practice. The first is the 2018 US Cyber Command Strategic Vision and let me just read that to you. Superiority through persistence seizes and maintains the initiative in cyberspace by continuously engaging and contesting adversaries and causing them uncertainty wherever they maneuver it describes how we operate maneuvering seamlessly between defense and offense across the internet interconnected battle space. It describes where we operate globally as close as possible to adversaries in their operations. It describes when we operate continuously shaping the battle space. It describes why we operate to create operational advantage for us while denying the same to our adversaries. Now this strategic vision really I think about the idea of wherever they maneuver and where we operate is globally. This was followed by some the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act and there are three specific provisions I would like to draw your attention to. First section 1632. It section 1632 read as two things. First it provides expanded authority to conduct military operations in cyberspace and again let me just read what the Section A stands. The Secretary of Defense shall develop, prepare and coordinate, make ready all armed forces for purposes of and when appropriately authorized to do so conduct military cyber activities or operations in cyberspace including clandestine military activities or operations in cyberspace to defend the United States and its allies including in response to malicious cyber activity carried out against the United States or United States person by a foreign power. Second and for those of you involved in intelligence law this will be especially meaningful. Section C says a clandestine military activity or operation in cyberspace shall be considered a traditional military activity for the purposes of and then it lists a couple of sections of Title 50. So this is transitioning what might have been argued were intelligence activities under Title 50 requiring intelligence oversight into traditional military activities making cyber common department tends more generally much more giving them much more freedom of maneuver with respect to the use of cyber activities. Let me transition to section 1636. Also accomplishing two important things. First it clearly states the policy of the United States on cyber war, cybersecurity and cyber warfare. Here is what it says quote it shall be the policy of the United States with respect to matters pertaining to cyberspace, cybersecurity and cyber warfare that the United States should employ all instruments of national power including the use of offensive cyber capabilities to deter if possible and respond to when necessary all cyber attacks or other malicious cyber activities or foreign powers that target the United States. Second section 1636 directs the DOD to operate in such a way that it would impose costs on adversaries. Here's what section subsection B says quote in carrying out the policy set forth in subsection A which is what I just read through response operations develop pursuant to subsection B the United States shall develop and when appropriate demonstrate or otherwise make known to adversaries the existence of cyber capabilities to impose costs on any foreign power targeting the United States or United States persons with cyber attack or malicious cyber activity described in subsection A. We'll come back to that idea of imposing costs. Finally section 1642 creates what many of us have termed as a mini AUMF. This provision applies specifically to four countries Russia China North Korea and Iran and it specifically gives cyber command the authority to quote take appropriate and proportional action in foreign cyberspace to disrupt defeat and deter such attacks under the authority and policy of the Secretary of Defense to conduct cyber operations information operations as traditional military activities. Then finally in March of 2020 the DOD General Counsel Mr. Paul Nye made this statement he said a key element of the US military strategy in the face of these cyber threats is to defend forward implementing this element of the strategy begins with continuously engaging and contesting adversaries and causing them uncertainty wherever they which we refer to as persistent engagement. Now to me this combination of recent US practice seems to promote a trend of being much more aggressive with respect to cyber activities and not just at home but also abroad. In that same 2019 NDAA in section 1652 Congress created a cyberspace solarium commission. Oops wrong way cyberspace solarium commission here we go and that commission was specifically tasked to quote develop a consensus on a strategic approach to defending the United States cyberspace against cyber attacks of significant consequences. This cyberspace solarium commission was designed after a similar commission in the early days of the cold war and it was really established to figure out how we could as a whole of nation approach begin to defend better and to deter our adversaries. The commission included congressional and the executive branch representatives as well as representatives from the private sector. The report was released in March 2020 and the report advocates a strategic approach based on three themes shape behavior, denied benefits, impose costs. Again remember impose costs from the NDAA section that I mentioned. One of the key factors in this strategic approach is layered cyber defense that embraces DOD's defend forward posture as essential to effective deterrence. Here's a quote from the cyberspace solarium commission with respect to defend forward. The report goes on to define defend forward in this way that wording I've highlighted in yellow seems important to me because it is in a sense a summation of all of the prior recent US practice I showed you. To defend forward we must be proactive in observing and pursuing and countering adversary operations and imposing costs again not just on our own networks but on networks of others. So how do we do this? Well we can't do it from our own networks. We must be outside our own networks and on the networks of others but that might cause significant legal implications which I hope you will get to in the question and answer period. Let me just sum up by saying where I think we are with current US practice. First the United States must be including department of defense must be proactively operating on foreign infrastructure and I again I don't have access to classified information though some of you do. I believe that now with this change we are proactively operating on foreign infrastructure. We act by permission we're feasible but by action we're not. We act in conjunction with allies and partners where possible but alone we're not. We have an increased willingness to attribute harmful cyber activities and you've seen that reflected in recent statements on attribution to various countries who have been involved in malicious cyber behavior. I would not term it as gloves off meaning no rules but I would say this more aggressive stance is a challenge to use our gloves to get involved in the fight and again to take the fight to our adversaries. Now I appreciate your patience with my slides. I am looking forward to questions and answers and I hope to talk with you in life in real life here at just a moment. Thank you Professor Jensen. Second we have Professor Ashley Deeks who previously served as a legal advisor in the Department of State and who is currently the E. James Kelly Jr. class of 1965 research professor and the director of the National Security Law Center at the University of Virginia Law School. Back to the Stockton Center for Professor Deeks initial remarks. Hi thank you for having me join this this great conference. I'm delighted to be a part of it. I am engaged in a broader project that is framed around this idea of a double black box. In the United States national security is in many ways a black box. It is hard for Congress to oversee and regulate a range of intelligence and military actions. As many of you know courts tend to be highly deferential and classification issues mean that we're forced to rely on alternatives such as leaks internal executive checks constraints imposed by foreign allies and even private companies these days that interact with the executive behind the veil of secrecy. And even with those alternative checks we're still in a highly imperfect system. So the goal of my project is to explore how adding tools such as those of machine learning specifically and artificial intelligence more generally into the national security ecosystem will exacerbate or what I'm calling double the existing black box problem that we run into in national security. So machine learning can for example exacerbate citizens abilities to know what's being done in our name. And it may also exacerbate the ability of our usual proxies to know and to understand what the executive is doing. It may even undercut the strengths of some of these other tools that we rely on such as leaks interagency negotiations the role of general councils in some room. And yet I think many people in this room might agree that we are going to come under lots of pressure to adopt these tools in the military and intelligence setting because states like Russia and China seem very firmly committed to them. So how do we pursue these tools in a way that ensures that our executive branch pursues these tools while remaining faithful to our public law values. So my inquiry is more of a domestic law inquiry than an international law one but international law obviously is a big factor in preserving those public law values by making decisions that continue to adhere to international law in the use and development use in Belarus space. Further while the project is focused on the double black box inside the United States the challenge it captures I think is likely also to hold true for a range of democratic states that are thinking about increasing their use of machine learning in the space. So how does this relate to cyber. Well I recently wrote an article in international law studies thanks to the naval war college that uses the looming likelihood of autonomous cyber operations to try to test some of these arguments. So one premise of the piece and others have suggested this as well is that we're likely to see a growing use of autonomous tools in the cyber setting both in offense and in defense. Now there's admittedly a diversity of views about the likelihood of inadvertent escalation in cyberspace above the use of force threshold but the possibility of what we might think of as flash crashes seems realistic when we're talking about two cyber algorithms that are confronting each other and having encountered each other before. We know that this kind of escalation took place in the stock market setting. Once we're thinking about the possibility of that kind of escalation it's important to consider the existing roles of parliaments and legislatures in regulating states resort to force. There are three main ways that parliaments tend to be involved in decisions about extraterritorial uses of force. They can authorize force x anti, they can authorize force x coast, and they can provide ongoing oversight and funding to the operations. So why do we value legislative involvement in use of force decisions? Well it creates an obvious avenue by which we can hold executive branches democratically accountable for their force-related decisions and there's also a body of literature that suggests that legislative involvement can help states avoid bad wars. But of course for legislators to do their jobs they need to have access to a certain flow of information and they need to possess some level of confidence to understand the tools that they're confronted with by their executive branches. For some legislatures that is a big challenge and even relatively big and well-funded committees such as those in the U.S. Congress have faced problems of getting full access to information about policies, legal interpretations and technologies that the executive branch in the U.S. is using. And in some systems the executive has a wide range of discretion to resort to force extraterritorially unless the level of armed force being deployed is significant. So against that background how will growing cyber autonomy impact the role of legislators? How will it affect the ability of democracies to ensure that decisions to resort to force remain careful and deliberate choices? Well I think it'll potentially do at least three things. First it might empower further executive branches at the expense of legislators. Legislators will have less time to weigh in especially once cyber exchanges begin. Legislators might suffer greater informational deficits about the fact that these autonomous systems exist as well as about what their capabilities are and it may be harder to audit operations ex-posts to understand what transpired especially where the tools involved the use of machine learning or deep learning. Second it could empower militaries at the expense of other ministries such as the foreign ministries, justice ministries, these other actors that often have a role to play in national security decisions. That said I do think there's some possibility that the growth of algorithm-driven decision making could actually centralize interagency conversations. If those other ministries recognize that the operations driven by machine learning will implicate laws of war domestic legal and policy issues and the lawyers in those ministries seek a role at the table in making these interpretations of domestic law and international law as the algorithms are being structured on the front end. A third thing that I think this development could do is it might end up empowering computer scientists at the expense of other actors inside these agencies such as lawyers, such as policy makers. So overall unless carefully managed I think the major concerns that cyber autonomy might increase the the number of bad or inadvertent conflicts in a way that would be reduced if there were consistent and continued legislative involvement. So how do we address these challenges? First you could see legislators doing more work to actually legislate things like the algorithms parameters in advance. So they could for example require that in most instances operations being driven by autonomous cyber systems be reversible. They might demand that the executives try to make their algorithms white white boxes rather than black boxes and they could even demand that the executives share information with them about where they have prepositioned tools inside other states systems. Legislatures could also establish cyber specific oversight committees that gain a level of sophistication about these tools. And third you could have the interagency itself collectively develop rules of engagement rather than leave that entirely to militaries or military lawyers. And in terms of the relevance of international law if NATO states are all going to confront these issues then I think it's critical to increase the level of detail of the conversations that states inside NATO have been having about the interactions potential interactions among autonomous cyber tools and to start to clarify at least among each other when those interactions will rise to a level that implicates the use at Bellum. Great thank you Professor Deeks. Finally we have Professor Pyshemic Roguski. He's a lecturer in law at Yajelone University in Krakow, Poland and an expert on cyber security and international law at the Puszczuśka Institute. Back over to the stocking center for Professor Roguski's initial remarks. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My name is Thomas Hofroguski and it is both an honor and privilege to speak to you at this great conference and in such an illustrious panel. The topic of my talk today will be the topic of collective countermeasures against cyber attacks. And I would like to start by inviting you to consider the following scenario. Now let's imagine that state A's electric power grid and hospitals are targeted by a prolonged ransomware campaign which as it turns out is being directed by state B. Now state A on its own lacks sufficient cyber capabilities to make state B stop. However it has powerful allies state C and D and it asks those allies to help. Question then becomes whether state C and D which are not themselves directly injured by the ransomware campaign can nevertheless intervene on behalf of state A by instituting countermeasures against state B either in real world for instance by severing trade ties transfer transportation links and so forth or in cyberspace by targeting state B's cyber infrastructure in order to induce it to stop attacking state A. Now this topic has become prominent in the last one and a half years because it has been taken out by states. It was first taken out by Estonia during the SIPHON conference in 2015 when President Kersti Kandelweig while presenting Estonia's position on international law in cyberspace has stated and I quote that Estonia is furthering the position that states which are not directly injured may apply countermeasures to support the state directly affected by the malicious cyber operation. Several months later France responded and it responded in its document on international law applicable to operation in cyberspace by stating that and I quote again collective countermeasures are not authorized which rules out the possibility of France taking such measures in response to an infringement of another state's funds. But the question then becomes well which of those two statements is correct with respect to international law as it stands today. And we should perhaps begin by defining what we mean by countermeasures. So if we look at the law of international responsibility we will see that the countermeasures are actions by a state which normally would constitute an internationally wrongful act or violate an international obligation of that state whose wrongfulness is concluded precisely because they are taken in response to a previous international wrongful act of another state and directed against that state with the aim of inducing that state to stop its initial violation. Now under international law countermeasures can be taken by the injured or victim state and this is because enforcement under international law is essentially a bilateral nature within the law of state responsibility only the states whose interests are being directly affected can request the responsible state to stop and invoke the responsibility of that state as we say. So the question is well do third states have any role in such constellations and if we look at the articles on state responsibility which reflect the customary law in this regard we will see that other states and invoke the responsibility of the attacking state only in limited circumstances namely only if the obligation that has been reached is also a group of states not to one state individually to a group of state and crucially it is established for the protection of a collective interest of the group and not of an individual into interest of the victim state and we would call them ergo on this part as obligations or if the obligation that has been reached is opposed to the international community as a whole and we would call that ergo on this obligation. There is a further limitation or difficulty namely under the article on state responsibility even in those limited circumstances third states can invoke the responsibility of non of the responsible state only to call for the cessation of that act and to demand the performance of reparation to the benefit of the injured state the articles themselves do not mention countermeasures as such and this is because there has been a discussion within the international law commission when those articles have been drafted whether those third party countermeasures are permissible or not but there has been inserted a backdoor in article 54 namely which says that this chapter does not prejudice the right of any third state to take lawful measures against the responsible state and so the question is well would counter measures fall under this definition of lawful measures. Now this question has been studied recently and I would invoke here two major studies from 2010 and 2017 which both come to the conclusion that state practice and opinionaries is sufficiently widespread and uniform to suggest that third party or collective counter measures are permitted under customary international law however and crucially it is permitted only within those confines of article 48 so they are only permitted against violations of ergo onness or ergo onness parties obligations not against violations of individual obligations protecting individual interests of a particular state so the follow-up question is name will hand cyber attacks violate collective obligations and if we take a look at obligations ergo onness or ergo onness parties as they have been identified in the jurisprudence of the international court of justice we will see such obligations as the prohibition of aggression or genocide the prohibition of slavery or racial discrimination but I believe you will agree with me that those are not the obligations that are typically affected by cyber attacks and constellations such as the initial scenario rather obligations that are most likely to be violated by cyber attacks are for instance the obligation of non-intervention or the duty to respect the territorial sovereignty of another state if indeed you believe that such a duty exists and is applicable to cyberspace or perhaps to religions and so forth so obligations that are targeted or violated by cyber attacks usually are there to protect individual interests of states not collective interests of the international community or groups of states as evident and by those examples given from the jurisprudence of the international court of justice so the follow-up question would be are there perhaps cyber specific collective obligations that the international court of justice has not known so far and I would argue that there are none however there are certain candidates from non-binding norms which may given time and given sufficient state practice and opinion theories hardened into binding collective obligations and I would propose two the first one is the norm to protect the public core of the internet which has been discussed in many fora and has been proposed for instance by the Paris call in principle two and has found its way already in legislation in the european union and if this becomes more widespread and more states adopt such legislation followed by opinion this could well evolve into a cyber specific collective obligation the second one is the norm not to affect critical infrastructures such as hospitals or vaccine research facilities which is reflected in non-13f of the UNGGE report in 2015 and in these pandemic times I believe it is in the interest of the international community as a whole to protect those critical infrastructures and not only does this protect the individual interests of a particular state so allow me to come to my conclusions of this brief survey and the first conclusion would be that international law and the currency stands allows for collective countermeasures but only against those actions including cyber attacks which violate norms established to protect collective interest and given that most cyber attacks as we have seen you know violate such norms but rather violate norms that are there to protect individual interests by state the consequence would be that under international law as it currently stands collective countermeasures are not permitted against most cyber attacks simply because this requirement of a violation of a collective interest or norm to establish to protect the collective interest rather is not fulfilled now international law could develop to include such cyber specific collective interest norms as the ones discussed previously which we are not there yet but in the most relevant example namely in the come back to my initial scenario where there are attacks against that potentially violate obligations which protect individual interests of states for instance the interest not to be interfered with in their domain reservoir not to allow interventions from outside international law does not permit collective countermeasures and it would require further development of international law to include this possibility but this is a long way requiring lots of state practice and opinion this concludes my brief observations and I thank you for your attention and look forward to the questions great thank you professor Roguski thank you all for your remarks we'll now move to the q and a portion of the panel for our panelists I'll ask that you just turn on your videos and unmoved your microphones and I'll also reiterate what was in the chat log I'd encourage participants to put their questions in the q and a box and upload those questions that you're interested in that's why we wrote wait for those to roll in and get upvoted I'll start with a question that I was particularly interested in hearing professor Jensen respond to this is from Mike Sinclair acting by permission where possible but in action we're not it's a on your last slide do you layer in an unwilling or unable analysis here or is it pure unilateralism well I thank you for that great question and thanks again to the organizers this this has been a fantastic two days I hope that that I don't ruin it here at the end I hesitate to discuss unable and unwilling in the presence of Ashley Deakes who is like the world renowned guru on this issue so Ashley feel free to jump in and correct me at any moment but but I view the the unable and unwilling really to be used in the self-defense idea and it's mostly used as a self-defense notion certainly the the framework agreement produced by the Obama administration in 2016 supports this idea so the one of the interesting things about this is that in this case I don't think the US might be using unable and unwilling by analogy but it's not using it in a self-defense mode it's using it in a much more proactive mode so even though you could argue that the principles as laid out in current US practice seem to embrace this unable or unwilling procedure or view it's not doing it in a self-defense mode instead it's doing it in a proactive way to kind of deter as a deterrence issue and that that seems to me to be a little bit unique than the way we have normally used unable or unwilling in the past I immediately pass it to Ashley for her comments go Ashley thanks Eric I'll make a pitch for international law studies here I wrote a 2013 piece through them on the geography of cyber conflict that asked this question but Eric's exactly right I asked it in the context of self-defense thinking about unwilling or unable as a as a sub-inquiry on the necessity question after you suffer an armed attack but I tend to agree with Eric that it may be that the US government is using the concept as a matter of policy and attaching it to its defend forward concept it has long said that it's sensitive to the sovereignty of other states whether sovereignty is is a rule or a principle and I think that's a way to to express concern for other states sovereignty trying to get their consent maybe even thinking about things like pre-consent agreements that say look we met we know operations might happen within your territory if you're willing we can ride to the rescue that of course implicates the the question about collective countermeasures if we're talking about an activity below the use of force great thank you so I'm going to try to give each of you a turn in the hot seat so next we'll go to Professor Roguski this is a question from Jeff Biller given the reports on malicious cyber operations related to development of the COVID vaccine might this be an excellent opportunity to consider third-party responses against ergo ominous interests yes thank you very much for this excellent question and of course this is indeed you know the the avenue that I was trying to hint at the problem of course that we see here is well which ergo ominous obligation has been violated so if we take a look at at stateside obligations we would ask well has this been an intervention into the internal affairs of a state well even if it has been does the norm against intervention constitute an ergo ominous obligation I would say probably not and the same would be with with sovereignty taking aside the the discussions about whether sovereignty applies in cyberspace or not so the only candidate that I can think of and I have been giving this some thought would be if we say that we employ collective countermeasures in order to protect a collective interest under human rights namely the right to health because then we could say that the ICESCR which contains the the right to health it is an ergo or creates ergo ominous parties obligations and in order to enforce those obligations then states that are not affected would be entitled to collect to take collective countermeasures however one one note to finish on of course we only need collective countermeasures only need to talk about collective countermeasures if we as the acting state are not ourselves injured so if a cyber attack has also affected our ability to to do COVID-19 research and so forth then we would be entitled to act as a directly injured state and there then we would not need those collective countermeasures construction so on that point Mike Sikler has another question and it's I'll just give it to you Professor Grisky because we're still on you does international law allow for collective countermeasures when the attack state requests the assistance of a third party in doing those well there is nothing in in the article some state responsibility that would would speak to to such an analogy to to collective self-defense so basically the the third state instituting collective countermeasures would need to have to act in furtherance of a collective interest and not you know just acting on on to help the the injured state here again we can think of many scenarios for instance well what does it mean to to to help so all actions that themselves do not violate a norm by which the acting state the third state would be bound are permitted on the international law so for instance a couple of days ago US cyber command has issued a statement where it said that it has conducted hand forward operations together with Estonia within Estonian networks and so this presumably was requested by the Estonians and this is not a countermeasure situation because this is limited to to Estonian networks so the only question is if cyber command together with the Estonians were to go to Russian networks because Russian the Russian actors or any other state actor has intervened in that state requesting help then we would need to to to find a construct to justify this action on the half of a third state but simply a request by the third state would not be sufficient can I just add to that I mean I thought that that example of Russia and Estonia was really great because how a country thinks about sovereignty is a huge piece of that right because if if a country doesn't recognize a violation of sovereignty as an unlawful act under international law then that also would not be a countermeasure or if the method by which they were engaging on another state's infrastructure wasn't unlawful then they would not consider themselves as being involved in a countermeasure it would be retortion or some other thing right so so that again we come back to that piece that Roy Shrondorf talked about this morning so important and and states I mean I think we're finding a real varied reflection from states on that topic great thank you so much um professor Deeks I was going to ask this question this is a sort of a hybrid of a question I had so I'm glad I get to ask it through another person uh Pazanansky Michael Pazanansky adds this question what do you see as the trade-offs associated with President Trump's 2018 decision to give more latitude to certain entities to conduct offensive cyber operations especially President-elect Biden continues his policy how should we weigh the core benefits for example acting more nimbly and responsibly against the potential drawbacks for example less oversight risks of escalation in my particular question was similar especially if we're trying to gain the benefits of autonomy the speed at which these these machines can make the decision will this potential oversight or even potential intervention by the legislature cause delay and essentially lose those potential benefits yeah great so um so that's a fantastic question and part of the answer I think is uh there's an empirical aspect to the answer that I don't know and that is uh what exactly has happened since 2018 uh in reliance on this new latitude and uh what do we think objectively about whether it has been good or bad and it may well be that the defense department is very happy about it and could be that the state department's happy about it but it might also be that the state department feels as though that was a mistake so um so I need a little bit more empirical information to to know how to think that through but I think it's exactly the right question so I'm not advocating that we want to bog down policies just for the sake of having sort of slow process um but I do think you know the state department for example has long been a really important player within the United States in interpreting international law uh and I would hate to see uh them get cut out of that loop entirely on issues that are almost certainly going to implicate international law um and if you just have a single agency uh thinking about these issues then we might think about um David Pozen wrote a piece about um deep secrecy and he thinks about deep secrets as being ones that few people know and only few types of people know uh and by introducing the state department and the justice department and so on you are making it a little bit less of a deep secret even though it remains a classified operation and so I think it's healthy to keep that not entirely within a single agency um but to answer um the colonels question too I think a lot of this gets done at the front end right that it's not that you want to hold up each operation by bringing it back to the group but you need to have hard and I think intense conversations up front that play out how different things could could work and maybe you know collectively agree on the rules of the road uh for many of the situations you're going to encounter but do it at the front end so you don't slow down and lose the advantage of the autonomy at the at the tail end. Fair enough thank you so much Professor Diggs uh Professor Jensen uh one question I have for you that I wanted you to expand on mainly because I really liked it and so I wanted to hear your full explanation is you mentioned um to not uh not it's we should operate not with gloves off but with the use of gloves I was hoping you could expand on that. Yeah well so I mean this this is probably not a great uh way to pose this in an international audience but uh we have this saying in the United States that that you know you were going gloves off which means the rules kind of don't apply anymore right we're just fighting um and I don't I certainly don't think that this US practice has gotten us there we still are bound by rules and the United States government is heavily legally committed they they want you know when the government takes actions they they rely heavily on what's lawful but I do think what these instances of US practice say is um you're not just going to stand back and take it right you're going to actually put the gloves on and engage in the fight and you know the the 2019 NDAA particularly sets up some pretty specific authorities and permissions and not just permissions but in some senses um you know Congress is expressing the will of Congress and telling DoD to take actions and to do certain things and to me that is a much more aggressive approach as as referred to in the last question that's a much more aggressive approach and and I for one will be interested to see if President-elect Biden continues that uh that you know that method and I think that will give us some insight into Ashley's question about the empirics you know he's he and his new administration are going to look at that they're going to look at the empirics and I think that that will be an indication to us if they continue this approach that those empirics have in fact worked to the United States national security benefit. Thank you so much and so it looks like we have time for one final question um and so I think Professor Deeks you mentioned this I I think you answered it but I want to make sure that we we give it give it it's due uh Peter Margulis uh says is the view of autonomy as a black box and a biting concern or can we address it through explainable AI? Um great hi Peter um thanks for the question so um of course one of the reasons this matters including for legislatures is whether you can audit after the fact uh why a system made the choices it did and um and Congress could help the executive take remedial steps if we end up in a place that we don't want to be an unintended escalation for example um so again here I mean I think this is also an empirical question there's been a lot of attention paid to the problem of uh the black box nature of machine learning and deep neural nets uh and a lot of different uh uh forms that explainable AI can take. Some people worry about uh making it explainable because you lose uh you degrade the quality of the system the very thing you're trying to use the system for um but I do I am relatively optimistic that there are um going to be some helpful solutions to this and from what I understand in conversations with the military they too are really interested in making sure that they understand why the system is making certain recommendations and taking certain steps and not just saying you know go off and and uh we trust it entirely so I think that incentive will also enhance uh the work of computer scientists to to drive towards a more explainable AI. Great thank you and so I will ask I I I realize I'm going over time but I want to ask one final question to any of the panelists uh this is from my colleague Jeff Biller who asks have we seen suggestions that defending forward could be applied on behalf of allies? I guess I can take that on first and just say um you know this goes back to some extent to the collective countermeasures discussion that we had um as long as you don't depending on your view of sovereignty and as long as you either do or don't view this as unlawful therefore it can be a countermeasure certainly there uh as as I noted on my slide there are lots of opportunities now where the United States is acting in conjunction with allies so to the extent that that is the answer to Jeff's question uh I mean that's that's right we're doing that all the time we're doing it more often and and and especially with people who have like-minded views on this application international law. All right well great uh I want to thank each and every one of you uh each of the panelists uh very interesting very fascinating topic thank you for your remarks for your time and from the questions I'll turn it back over to the Stockton Center for I believe closing our remarks. Great well thank you for all the panelists there I think it's fitting that having just discussed um the evolving nature of state practice and cyber operations uh we finished there having started the day with the remarks um from Israel in terms of uh state practice there so thanks again to all the speakers from today for an excellent day uh focus on cyber operations tomorrow we will reconvene 1100 hours east in standard time and for everyone who has joined today's is interested in cyber operations um the opening keynote by Doug Burnett is on suffering cable security in international law and given the extent to which such cables underpin cyber operations and capabilities um hopefully you'll be able to join us there so I'll leave it there and we'll see you tomorrow

Thank you all for coming out some time for attending today's episode, the episode 11 of BX Academy Business Excellence Mentoring and Coaching. Today's episode is on how the right mentor can accelerate the growth of a business. To all the attendees out there, please type in any questions you might have in the Q&A section and we'll try to answer as many as possible at the end of this session. I would now like to welcome our speaker, Mr. Gaurav Mara, Chairman and Founder of the franchise. A very warm welcome to you sir. Thank you Sonali and welcome friends and very good morning to all of you and welcome to our Business Academy web series. So this has been running for now this is the 11th edition which we are doing but we have done another 30 editions in past which was on more for helping businesses to find how they can build value, how they can exit the business, how they can get a right investor in the business and also how they can scale. So very informed good information in those series also if you don't have you not seen that go on our Facebook page and and really visit that. So today's discussion is a lot about really choosing a mentor you know why a business should need a mentor but before I go there let me give you a little background about our company of franchising days at 24 year organization started with purpose of helping on one side businesses to grow through franchising and on the other side we helped investors to make a right decision to start their own business and today as we speak over 24 years we've helped 10,000 plus brands to really grow through franchising and helped millions of entrepreneurs in realizing their business dream. We also have a separate company which is now doing this webinar is BusinessX. BusinessX was started with the idea to help especially startups and mid-sized companies to find right scale also connect with them with the right mentors help them to even get the right kind of investors which is from you know angels or a VC funds and we also have a separate vertical in BusinessX where you're looking to exit the business we work with you on the right valuation and find you the buyer also I should highlight that we have another company of franchise India which is called Action Coach Action is a world's number one business coaching company. World's number one business coaching company operates in about 80 countries so we run Action Coach for India and also for Middle East so that also is very helpful if some of you are looking for a good business coach who can advise your business to grow and improve that also is a helpful. So this is going to be about 30-odd minute kind of webinar I'll touch upon the importance of choosing a mentor how you should choose and we'll talk about how it is different from business coaching and all the other aspects of mentorship so use the Q&A box start asking your questions I will do this you know a talk on maybe about 20-25 minutes and then maybe later half I can take some of your questions you know so we have seen a lot of people really going out and asking for a mentor especially I think when you are new to business and today because I run a largest startup ecosystem in the country I know a lot of people who get into their startups it might be you know going by themselves which means that their own startup or they are even taking a franchise most of the times they are new to business which means that they have never done that business they have no domain experience they are following an idea which they want to pursue so I feel that it becomes kind of important that you have a mentor with you and that's very very important and sometimes we confuse between a coach somebody who's going to business coach who come along with you and also a mentor there are can be similarities there can be similarities in terms of the both work on on your business to grow that but a mentor is somebody who works on your personal growth that's very very important it actually the founders development is done by that I always say that this coach can be become a mentor a coach can be somebody who can work on both aspects your enterprise growth and also your personal growth as a founder it can be done and similarly a mentor can also become a coach provided he would have that kind of a time he or she would have that kind of a time to participate in your business sometimes mentors are somebody who who are not so deep into your business operations and really don't take that objectivity they are more working on your personal development and so on so you have to one thing which is very important and before you even make a decision to really have a mentor with you you need to be very clear who you want why you want what kind of objectivity it should be always your choice as a founder of the business that you want to choose a right mentor and who can be this right mentor and he's available for for giving the kind of a you know the role you want for a mentor to perform in your business or your growth and define that role and see that availability and sometimes great names cannot be great mentors and that's true because they're not available they might be the perceived to be the best but they might not be available and I've seen this piece where people are seeking mentors or very very successful entrepreneurs these successful entrepreneurs are great when you listen to them on TED talks and listen to them on a different kind of seminars and you know webinars and so on and you always seek that they might become your mentor but they might not be the right ones because they might not have the time or availability or sensibility to do that so one of the important starting point is that mentor has to be somebody who's invested into your success I will again repeat the mentor has to be somebody who's invested into your success that's very important because if you're not invested into your success it will never come through right and it is a long journey it's a marathon right and it has to be over three four five years of a mentorship it's very very important and you have to be really particular that how do you really make that choice and so on it's very very important and mentor and a lot of people ask me and say how do you define a mentor and what do you really expect from a mentor and while you can have a lot of expectation and we'll touch upon that in our program but I think the simple answer I have found over the time is somebody who can help the quality of your thinking and issues important to you somebody who can really bring your thinking level up right somebody who can improve your quality of thinking on issues which are important to you so sometimes you know your issues you know sometimes the you know entrepreneur struggle between always I say it's been important other joint things there are things which are very important to you and somebody who can really refine your thinking is somebody who comes with a lot of wise you know why are we doing this and why not we do this and why don't we take this practice versus this practice and a lot of that is very very important so always the one of the starting points when you're looking for a mentor and say who can improve my thinking who can really question me right somebody who has that ability to really put your focus also on the important things which are very important but a lot of times we have mentors and I know a lot of startups who go and claim that I have been mentored by this or that and most of the time they go deeper into that mentoring program it's has not made an impact or it has failed so why it fails let's talk about that so one of the areas which I think is fails because it was not well defined purpose it just wanted some name to sit it's like an advisory board you want to make it fancy you want to make it big names to sit in that but really mentor is not about that mentor is absolutely not about that and that's where it comes from our education practice it comes from what we do in workplaces mentor is somebody who's just around with you somebody who's always sounding bored to you and working with you it has to have a very strong well defined purpose and a measurable objective if you do not have a measurable objectives it will eventually not make any sense right and if you cannot really do and that's why I say they have to be invested into your success if they're not invested into success even the greatest minds cannot make any impact on your business even the greatest minds people who have all that what it takes to do that but they are not invested so to say in your entire thing they can be a good broader guide you know our perspective on that but understand until somebody is is getting into very personalized issues which you have in your business it would not make sense right it would not make sense so there are no also sometimes not a clear criteria of matchmaking of a mentor and a mentee right so why are they come together what is the missing point both can fill in to each other both it is a mentor's need also to have a good mentee because that's if you are a professionally mentoring companies or enterprises or founders there is some skill set you have which can fit into certain kind of mentees which you need to really do that so that has to be very very important sometimes they're not prepared both sides you're not prepared and I've seen that I've seen sometimes mentees are not prepared in terms of what should be the expectation of that process and and you've not defined that I would say go out and write 10 pages and say this is my expectation this is my expectation which is very very important and for a mentor also to really set some rules and I think because you might not try to maybe somebody who has that kind of you know always available kind of a situation you need to really do that so it's just not about ticking the box and say oh I am starting a business and I need a good mentor and I go out and find somebody who's very known in that industry I get a lot of requests every single day from franchise industry because I have such a large 24 years of work in industry and people would come to me and say I want to take your to you as a mentor because I'm doing a franchise startup and I want to take it to next level and I would tell you out of 100 I would decline 99 not because I'm not interested in that business but I might not be able to do justice on that and I would actually recommend it a lot of other people who are there who are much more sensitive which much available I might not be available because I have other enterprise to run and might have some conflicting interests also sometimes so I am very very choosy out of 100 I would only take one where I genuinely feel that I can really contribute right and in the last four or five years I've actually advised about four or five companies in total that's what I have done and I feel that I should do even lesser maybe take one in a year or that kind of a structure which would then justify my time and structure so it's very very important that you really have to find out somebody who's doing a meaningful work with you and working with you and I call the cycle you know if you really see the cycle is all about why who how what and when that's the cycle this is how everything works in your enterprise you need to know a lot of why is why are you doing it and this is where mentors are great because they are a good at the why part of it but when it comes to the next cycle of saying who needs to be there what kind of resources you need to do that that who becomes very important difficult for them to participate sometime they have a good say on the why but they don't have who's going to run that business who's going to lead this vertical who's going to run so that's not possible for sometime mentors to do that and that's where it starts breaking but I would like a mentor to really participate here also and then go on to how you have to do that and then what are the results we are expecting and then when is the timelines how you need to follow that entire thing so if you are somebody who's participating all the five cycles from why who how and when how what and when then your cycle is really completed and sometimes you have to be honest about a mentor you're choosing how far they can participate in your structure so it's a very important that it is a combination of what I call the three things a good advisor a guide who comes with you at every stage and somebody who can inspire you that's also very important sometimes and most of the time people actually take a mentor which is more inspiring you know you see them always exciting like in universities colleges people would take their teacher as a mentor because they feel that that's very you know you are inspired by what they do and how they do and so on so but I feel that this combination of all three it needs to be a strong advisor which comes on facts a guide who really comes with you to create some kind of a day to day objectivity and then work with and continue to inspire you to do a greater work and greater role and so on so that's very very important so what is the importance what is the importance of bringing a good mentor in your business one is impartial feedback because sometimes when you are a startup or you are a business owner you are surrounded by a lot of yes people around you but you don't get really impartial feedback that's very very important and you need to have somebody who has that kind of relationship with you not as a mentor that you can expect a lot of criticism right so that's something which again the founders are not really designed to do you know they're not really they they always like a mentor to be somebody who who's inspiring but not really criticizing you and sometimes it's a fine line it's a fine line if you if you have somebody overly doing that that also breaks it so you really have to see somebody who has ability to give you rational thinking and but impartial feedback that's very very important very important part of it second is that somebody who has advice but it's not really personal advice you know it's not this is one thing which again it's a difference between people who are outsider to your business if you comment to me like I can I'm now doing this webinar I'm giving a lot of advice but I don't understand your business I don't know who is on the other side what are the challenges how they do it so these are there are many people like me who are available who are giving their own experiences their own knowledge based in that thing but might not be very practical for your business so you need to have somebody who has that advice for you but it is backed by some form of logical data you know so a good mentor would ask a lot of data from you and then call you for a good advice because he's now gone through and giving from your perspective not from his own experience and and peace mentality it's not less of emotions more of logic otherwise it's all about emotions right you know what I feel about it so that's not a you don't have to as a mentor you don't have to bring in your own personal experience or agendas or your reference points in life which you want to really over reflect on your mentee that's not good to be the right thing and experiences which you want to share but it has to be unbiased you know something might have not worked in my career but might work for your mentee right so unless and until we really look at from that perspective sometimes people are some mentors I have very you know strong viewpoint on a few things and they are not great listeners they are not people who are acceptable to fresher ideas and they just block in that sense and and that also doesn't work you know because eventually businesses would evolve and go to the next level and they need to have breathing they need to really get some fresh air and to understand fresh ideas and that's where a mentor should be somebody who has that ability so that's where he would be able to bring in what I call the honest and a fresh perspective to thinking so that's very important aspect of when are you looking to do that I see about two types of mentors in the in you need to choose one is very clearly subject matter experts people who have very clearly your domain experience right and this is where most of the people would choose a mentor right so if I'm I was in building a first supply chain startup I need to find somebody who's great in that domain and especially somebody who has over the years and connect me with the docs in that industry and that's very very important and that's what I think large part of a mentor exercise would be but the other part would be that you have a you know somebody who has a larger management capability or a leadership or a management leader capabilities and more entrepreneurial experience so somebody who's run and build a large businesses can really come and mentor a young founder to really when he's starting the journey say I was I build the startup and I at different stages I raised money I found my exit so I have a full cycle done so I know at what stage and a lot of if you really see successful founders who became big large businesses have all become mentors and they are really bringing their business acumen so to say of a live journey of a business bringing in I would still feel that a startup should choose domain experts rather than going there this is this is good another thing which is very important and you have to all understand that that mentors you would need a different mentors different stages and they somebody like it or don't like it but they get outdated sometimes you have a great mentor at a certain stage in the business but would outdate itself you might not be able to value add more than that so you really have to also see what stage you are in your business and how you want to really choose a mentor so for me a mentor if I have to define if what is my expectation from a mentor and this is pretty much my rule I call the nice rule and I see one N stands for a network I want to have somebody who can open his network who can really help me connect with a few things and so that something to me is the best one of the companies I was advising and he wanted me to really have a mentor somebody and I said go out and have somebody and I actually recommended who can open up doors for you at this day you don't need somebody who who just comes and gives you advice but you need a lot of connects a lot of connects because a business such that you need to connect a lot of people and you need to have somebody who's a super connector super connector doesn't shy away goes on and opens up a lot of relationships with you can go out and write 100 meals for you and and use his own credibility and say this is a great a founder I'm connecting and sometimes he's shameless of doing that connection for you so that between me is the first N I stands for informed decision making which sets accountability that's very very important so N stands for network I stands for informed decision making very clearly constantly question why are we doing this versus the plan B right so why are we doing this that's very very important and third C stands for credibility brings in a lot of credibility for you to really you know add a lot of value you know say if you have good mentor even for hiring a talent if somebody is available with you it gives a lot of credibility for that founder or a business to really even attract the right talent because the biggest problem actually for founders is not the great business idea or not to create capital it's all about today most biggest difficulty is to get the right talent and that's the the biggest problem and I think that's going to be the biggest problem going forward that how do you get a good talent in in that thing and E stands for the final part is the encouragement you you get this kick especially when you are early stage you almost every day losing you're losing every day you need to have somebody who's consistently giving you encouragement to go to the next level so it's a nice theory and I see a network informed decision making credibility and encouragement which is important now when I really look at these four I think the three are very obvious you get it but one thing which is most missing in mentors I think is the eye because eye is missing which means that they are not really participating and day to day in your business they don't really are involved in your decision making so hence there's no accountability so rest everything at a certain stage has starts losing his his ability no more you have a network to continue to give that so it's not no more value adding similarly your credibility I've used that's great business has reached to a certain level maybe it's not value adding anymore and also encouragement now the business has taken off it's not so really speaking out of the nice if you really take the eye out after some time it would not make any sense so after a few years it would not be so if you really want to be a somebody who wants to be a top class mentor you need to focus on the eye that's very very important because if you are participating in value adding in a constant way then only this would need to do and create a value so now let's talk about six different reasons why mentors can help you transform your business and build your mentality obviously it can the first point is it makes faster learning that's absolutely one of the points that everybody starts a mentoring program because it just really faster than your learning structure because you need to really go into the market faster and your learning curve is great and you have also a lesser risk second as I said it it really helps you refine your your strategy it's very very important it really you know continue to refine and sharpen your strategy and continue to bring your focus and question your actions that's third point very importantly question your actions is something which you always need somebody who comes and questions every action why you did this versus this why are we spending so much on marketing why are we not doing this why are we taking this as a channel strategy and why not this so this is something which really is important and sometimes founders are not used to the idea of somebody being questioning that because they have employees and investors are outsiders and the investors also question sometimes good investors can also be good mentors provided they have time and and they are not biased from their investment viewpoint so so you have to really see sometimes good investors in the business can be become good mentors but sometimes because your investment is writing you you are sometimes extremely biased towards your investment and you really don't really look at from a larger holistic viewpoint in the success of the founder you know what is right for the founder right so sometimes you push him to the decisions which is right for your investment but maybe not really at that stage good for that founder so I always take back the situation the mentor has to be somebody who's invested into your success as a founder that's extremely extremely important the next thing is helps you build your your acumen business acumen especially financial acumen this is where founders really lack because at different stages when you started it say you are a 24 year young startup you don't have those like humans which are very importantly required if you have a good mentor along with you would really be able to do that the fifth point is somebody who would question or or boost your emotional intelligence right that's very very important you know in the journey of your building up your business you almost drained emotionally and your emotional intelligence has to really come back and and and be right and also the final point which is sixth point is how do they craft your strategy from investment to exit this is a life journey of a business right somebody who's along with you to really design a journey which starts with investment which is a very different approach where you are taking the business to commercial success and and then sustainability then growth cycle then scale and then exit like so if if you really see this whole spectrum somebody is with you in that piece and that would come with the next piece is that somebody who's able to build two very important aspects in your business and this is one of the areas which I would really question and say if I want to have a mentor it's great that I'm getting a device and great as somebody was sounding board great you know credibility and all this nice point which I've told but the real thing is that if somebody can deliver two things to my business one is set accountability at every level and second is a draw processes organizational design and so sometimes because you've not seen all that it's very difficult for a founder or a entrepreneur to really draw all that how the business would look like three years from now and so on so forth how you really put your foundational blocks to do that if some mentor can mentor can come and do that part for you that becomes a very very important aspect so summarizing this whole discussion the five things which are very important for a great mentor is obviously industry knowledge I would choose the SME versus somebody who's just generally done that that's my viewpoint but this also works but I would always look at somebody who has certain model domain experience in my industry and somebody who has done and contributed in that so that's very important to me I would rather put 80 percent of this here and very only look at somebody who's just entrepreneurial success on 20 that's not sometimes great entrepreneurs great mentors second is what kind of a valuation they can really bring in your entrepreneurial skills that's very very important obviously has to be a super connector somebody you can really build a great chemistry that's also very important because sometimes you have a great mentor around but you don't build a chemistry you don't go through you know this doesn't go across and it doesn't build that and somebody is also what I call a visionary and a problem solver somebody who can always help you solve a problem because you will always talk with some answers which you don't have but somebody who has ability to understand and bring again starting point was somebody who can who can draw your thinking to important points somebody who can continue to draw your thinking and build your thinking to very very important points so it is now the the final point would be that when you choose a mentor create not only somebody who is who's trying to help you for a for a larger goodwill that's not good and that's not lasting define the relationship with a mentor and this relationship can be a fee based which means that somebody will charge you a certain fee uh define that objectivity why you have want to have a mentor and what kind of relationship you want to do that and set the expectations right what do you expect from that and second sometimes it is about small equity now that's something which one has to really understand do you are really looking for giving equity or you would like to limit it only by a fee but always have a mentor which is which has some vested interest also with you to make you successful otherwise it will not last sometimes you really reach out to people you know and they they have a relationship with you and just because they sometimes people mentors also get a kick right so they get a kick that look people are asking me to mentor them so I want to really go around it's it's like a fancy title to have but they don't really contribute so much you know they they just help you and that thing unless and until somebody is is deep down involved in your business so this was something which I wanted to share today this is 30-minute webinar it's on mentorship so so Nali if you have any questions quickly for me I will be more than happy to answer sure thank you so much Gaurav sir for another wonderful session and for sharing all your insights with us we do have quite a few questions already lined up with us so I'll just quickly take up each of them the first question is should a mentor always be someone who's an industry specific person like tech or sales etc or should he be a general advisor so as I said I mean I would prefer always industry specialization not that I would say general advisor would not be able to do that but go back why are you taking a mentor you know you you need to have somebody who can connect so if I'm industries from your industry I would be able to connect right people second why are you taking this because it shortens your learning curve so if I'm from an industry I can really get you that piece so by large I would like to see a mentor from that industry itself and that would be my safer advice but there are people who are very successful entrepreneurial journey sometimes they have done public life and very very good public life very large and I've seen now a lot of IS officers and IPS retiring and not taking any other role but they're mentoring businesses and they have great mentors because they have seen strong public lives and very come from very strong accountability you know and have a very strong professionalism they also are people who are mentoring businesses right the next question I would like to take up is asking an honest question here we are doing good with our startup and don't really need a mentor right at this moment but we feel it is rather important to have a senior renowned mentor on board as a board member since it creates a brand name should that really matter that much as you yourself said that a real mentor is not just about big names and should really just be invested in yourself so sure so so don't confuse between your board of advisors or your board itself I mean if you really want to have somebody who sits on your board and and really adds on ready expand your board expand your board and get a person who can really open some doors for you and somebody who can value add on your decision making but may not be qualified for a mentor right so and as I said mentors also get outdated you know you're good at to certain extent and you are not good at it like for example I am kind of a specialist to take a business idea from here to a certain stage but I want to leave it at that level because after that there is another stage which is scale and going into that thing and that's where I don't specialize so I have always taken businesses from a pretty ground level to come down to a certain size where they're commercially successful and so that's my specialization I have never taken any any responsibility beyond that and and that's where I realize that I'm best at so everybody has to I don't know a person has to really realize that what you're good at and I mean does also have their limitations they they are sometimes not really who can participate at all levels so I if you really see and you're honest that you don't need a mentor at this moment don't have it maybe expand your board and at this stage you're more looking for credibility to the outside world that who is part of you and you might like to have a good board absolutely the next question I would like to take up is how to reach out to you for being a mentor in my startup company I love the series and feel like I'm directly talking to a mentor it would be absolutely great to have your advice in real life as well sure I would as I said I'm not taking and I'm very honest about it I'm not taking any exercise because I feel that's because of my time availability and other things I might not be able to do justice it's different when you share knowledge because I've been 28 years in the business and worked with thousands of brands so so obviously I have a lot to share that I'm doing through these series which Sonali arrived but I write to me I will certainly pass it to somebody who do justice to it and then maybe make a right choice of who you want to be taking as a mentor doing it I only want to mentor if there is an opportunity in franchise scaling of franchise but that also I take maybe one client maximum and if I have that time at this stage because of this covid we are we are again scaling up so my time is totally involved in my own enterprise built up and things that so I'm not taking any assignment for pardon for this but I will certainly link you with somebody who's in I think Business X does that Business X actually does advise like my wife is actually editor of Anthoponore magazine she runs a very big ecosystem so she is doing a lot of mentoring on direct to consumer businesses but that's her part of it but I personally am not taking anything on that this leads me to the next question which was does Business X helps startups to find good industry expert mentors yeah so we are exchange so to say so business exchange it helps you connect with investors mentors coaches business coaches sometimes you need a coach actually you're not needing a mentor you need somebody who can work on your enterprise and produce results so we have fantastic coaches I have 50 coaches in India a top class coaches who work on different domains and one of my coaches technology based businesses somebody's distribution these are all like C level professionals who worked in industry for 25 30 years and under our action coach so I can link you with any of the coach if you are looking for some help in your enterprise side you know you want to really look at your business scalability sustainability innovation any of these pieces are part of that yeah right and another question which is not directly related to the topic but the question says according to you what would be the growth opportunity of FMCG sector in terms of exploration of business in foreign countries FMCG Indian FMCG story for foreign countries that's what the question is if I'm understanding yes growth opportunity of the FMCG sector in terms of exploration of business in foreign countries so the scope in foreign countries you know so FMCG is obviously I would say for other than foreign companies in India is itself a very big opportunity but from India any FMCG can do which is natural products you know organic products because India has looked at from that perspective you know so like French was looking looked at very differently from a product viewpoint they're very high on a beauty cushion very high on a cosmetic question and so on for India is looked at natural life just whole yoga thing from India and naturally so we have good company like Himalaya is a great example been very very successful internationally I think now Khadi is doing a lot of work internationally I know organic India is doing a lot of work in sports and international so India has an opportunity but we've really not exploited only company which I think has reasonably done well is Himalaya the next question is how to associate as a mentor in your group with knowledge provisions and the facilities so how do you so I didn't get your question sorry how to associate as a mentor in our group in our group if you want to be a mentor yeah absolutely most welcome very very welcome and please share your domain what you really specialize on and then we can connect you with a lot of startups who need help and and then you can work out between you we have nothing to do with that we we will link you with the with the startups or founders to work with them and how you want to structure your your fee or a or a equity structure that's up to you and the founder we don't participate in that and on similar lines another question is do you have any curated training for business coaches yeah we have a world-class training for business coaching we are number one in business coaching as I said action is part of franchise India action is world's number one business coaching company we have a very strong focus on business coaching in India and I'm also starting a 25 episode series myself on on a business coaching and talk about different aspects more designed to coach people it's like a group coaching kind of a structure I'm taking an approach because again the issue is that I get a lot of you know request of people help asking me to coach but I again I don't have time so I've thought that I will probably put one hour every month and do a bit of a group coaching and and that's what and this I do it for my own satisfaction actually really ask me I do these webinars and seminars which are absolutely free and I don't want to charge anything because it's my own satisfaction it's all my my own you know satisfaction to go and share whatever I've learned in business absolutely so this was all for the Q&A session we have queries from people who are asking about if you can share links about action coach or if how they can know more about it so if you would just like to share your email ID there sure I will share my email ID just write to me then I will put you with my leadership team at Action Coach this gentleman called Satyam and he can be but I will put my email ID for all of you and also my number if you want to really connect on anything which you feel we can be helpful in through franchising their group we will be more than happy to discuss that so it's 98102 double four double three zero simple to remember send me a little what's up and give me a few hours and I'll I'll certainly come back to you thank you very much thank you very much thank you really appreciate thank you thank you so much for a wonderful wonderful session as always and for very patiently answering all of our questions and thank you to all our attendees we really hope you were able to add some value to your lives through this session and as Gaurav sir said if you have any queries any questions that you would like to ask him or anything you want to know about business x you can always reach out to me as well and if you also want a recording of this session I'll be happy to provide this evening thank you so much we'll see you next Saturday at 11 a.m. with another episode in the series of Vx Academy business excellence mentoring and coaching thank you thank you

Click that and check us out there. Michelin LTX tires. These are LT24575R17 tires with just about all the tread left. Frame and underbody is extremely clean on this truck. And as you come around to the front the front bumper is in excellent shape. Looks like somebody has put snow plow brackets on it so it doesn't look like they've ever been used but it's already if you wanted to put a plow on this truck. Passenger side fender absolutely perfect. No scuffs or scrapes on that. And passenger side front rim is in excellent shape as well. Down this side of the truck you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is.

As you come around to the back of the vehicle rear bumper is in really nice shape. Didn't see any major dents. Has full towing package which includes receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in excellent shape. And the bezel got just a little bit of light duty usage, nothing too major. Some little tiny puncture on the driver's side fender there. Just a tiny puncture, something hit it. As you go down this side of the truck no dents, no dings, no scuffs, no scrapes and for full disclosure this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Down the rest of this side very very clean it does have the telescopic tow mirrors. They are heated and have built in directional signals, they fold in like so and they also telescope out like so. Inside the XL package gives you the gray cloth interior, there are no rips, there are no tears on these seats. They are in excellent condition. Rubber heavy duty rubber floors and weather tech floor mats, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. This one does have auto head lamps and a tilt telescopic steering wheel feature. This truck only has 4,647 miles probably why it is so clean all the way around. Inside this truck has never been smoked in, smells very clean. Steering wheel is in excellent condition, cruise controls and information center controls on the left. You get these six speed automatic transmission, the turned out four wheel drive, factory brake controller, AM FM radio with the CD player. This is also where your backup camera shows up.

Welcome to the vlog. You're stuck with me and my shaky hand. I apologize for getting better at vlogging. We'll get back in it. I got a quick cardio. I gotta eat at one o'clock. Airplane's at 430. I gotta get there at 3330. Carry on only on short trips. That's the rule. The trip's shorter in two hours. We're carrying on only. Trips longer in two hours. We pack a bag. I guess it depends on the length of the trip. But if I'm traveling more in two hours, I don't want to be there just for a day. It should piss me off. So Vegas, quick trip. And I'll be there for like two days. I'm gonna get my cardio and get some steps in so I'll probably just be at Bart's house after this. But welcome to the vlog. We're jamming. Food, train. I think we're training tomorrow. You guys know how it goes. Body weight's 195. So not perfect, but time for a cheat day and a little mental relaxation. And I want to share with y'all some of my favorite foods. Welcome on the food journey. Trying not to cheat since we got these crazy cheats coming up. But I'm also done. I have time to cook. It's 230. Gotta get to the flights by like 330. Tyka's birthday's coming up. So I got a little gift for Tyka. Make sure that's packed up. And then I'll probably wrap it there. So it's kind of bagged up. I should probably pack something nice to wear just in case we go somewhere fancy. But I'm so bad at that. I still got a shower. But we got the basic Chipotle boy. So I've been cooking like crazy. It's just easier to cook when you're cutting. You can prep a little bit better. You know exactly what's going in there. Yes, you can be flexible when you're trying to lose weight but it can only be as flexible as your calories are. And so I've been on crazy low calories. We're gonna do a full day of eating on my diet which is like 1600 calories. I just want to get in the zone. So I want to get enough protein today and then we'll have some fun tomorrow. Come back, probably be a little bit loose on Wednesday. And then straight back to the cut a couple more weeks. We got some weddings coming up. So I'll be a little bit flexible there but in between that, I'm gonna lock it in. Get my cardio back up. The lifting is going good. I'm feeling good. I just don't want to gain a bunch of weight. I still want to hit 189. So Chipotle, the go-to order. White rice, both beans. That's the secret. Can't choose, do both. Double chicken, mild corn, green salsa, lettuce. That's it. It's probably like 70 protein, 70 carb. Very little fat. So we'll jam out on that. I'm gonna shower and then my mom's is picking me up. I'm gonna head to the airport. And then we'll chat in Vegas. Back in Vegas morning, seven o'clock. They just wanted to drop Tike off at school. So I'm gonna shower real quick. And I think the boys are coming. Justin and Deem, the media genius behind Barbara Gate. So I think I'm just kind of tagging along. I think there's one or two videos. You know, they're gonna have me talk about some cheat meal stuff or whatever for Barbara Gate. But basically, I'm here for the journey. I'm here for the ride. So they got Dexter scans and stuff like GZ. I'm gonna go shower and get ready. And then I think as soon as they're here, it's content day. So I'm gonna bring along kind of BTS of what they're doing. They have like three or four videos planned. A little bit of training, hopefully. I'm gonna deadlift. My back actually feels pretty good. Whenever you sleep on a new bed, I'm always worried about waking up a little stiff. So a warm-up shouldn't be bad. And if I do wake up stiff, I just walk a little extra. I think first is just their Dexter scan deal, breakfast and training. So let's ride. I'm gonna get ready, hot day in Vegas. It's like 110 in sack, probably 110 here. It's not that different, but your throat gets a little dry when I travel. So I need a haircut. Beard, no beard, mustache, no mustache. Comment below, but I'm gonna shower and then we're going to, I think head out. Everybody's gonna meet up here. Front double bicep. Quarter turn. Bite your lip harder. Left eye, winky face. Head looks so big in the picture. Take a step forward, a little more forward. He's got that angle on this phone, dude, you look crazy on the phone. Yeah. Whoa. Like the butt. Yeah, glutes. Glutes. Do you remember what your first fatness was? My first fatness, what do you mean? Your first fatness test. Aren't we at the fatness test? Oh, like my body fat percentage? Yeah. I think he was like 26 or something. At your fatest? That's pretty good. I remember two numbers. I remember 26 and 30, but I could have remembered she's with 30. What was your first fatness? Oh, I don't know. She'll remind me. She's so cool. You're gonna love her. All of a sudden, I wanna get a dex, I wanna get a dex to stand up. I wanna get a dex to stand up all of a sudden. I like that Chihuahua. That fucking stand up is kindly. 26 is good. I think it was 26. That's not bad, huh? I could have sworn out 26 and she was 30, but I could have remembered it wrong. I think it was 28. What do you think you are, if you had to guess right now? Right now, 15. What do you think you are? Any clue? 15? Well, I thought I was already in the 20s, so I guess I'll say 20, because he's saying I'm 30. 20? I bet you're lower. I don't know, your abs are pretty good. Her abs are fucking... Yeah, but I store more, most of my weight at the bottom. Yeah, but it's not like you're large. 15 pounds. Probably 20 or probably like 23. I have like a lot of fat on my legs. My upper body. Stop cocking at my husband, you weirdo. Don't talk to my chat that way, dude. We got the best for you now. Tomatoes, tomatoes. Whoa, whoa, Zaddy, whoa. So my favorite natural athlete is famous for his cheat meals. His name's Dwayne The Rock Johnson. And so Bart's... I can't believe he said that. Dude. And so Bart said that if you and I want to get jacked like Dewey, that we got a cheat meal. Yeah, let's cheat it up. What's the go-to pancake? I don't know, Bart's finding this whole thing. He said French toast, made out of croissants. I'm in, I'm in. I just had my pumpkin spice latte and I... And it warmed you up? So ready. Bart says croissant French toast. And if there's not croissant French toast, I'm gonna be pissed. You feel that, dude? Oh my God. Do you see the athlete catch that? You see the Spiderman? He does it and he goes... I'm gonna go... That was so bad. One drink, Rafi. That's the first sugar you've had in a decade. You're just gonna wile out like that. I saw you go... Oh dude, my tummy. I just want croissant French toast, dude. All right, power brunch. Cuevos rancheros. Oh my, cast iron chocolate, razz, pancake? Pancakes and things. You're gonna be cooking it, right? I don't. Oh, I'm not sharing with you. I'm not even talking to you. We're not sharing? I thought we were going like eight things and just fucking eating. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, but you don't like that, right? I'll try it. It's vegan. I'm out. All right, so let's eat. It's s'mores. The only pop tart that matters. We're at Sin City iron. Then to Bart and then get a chest pump. Let's see what kind of toys he has. We've got a couple of unique machines in here. Definitely won't be using that. I don't do calves, but we might use this. I do want a big ass. Let's see if we can pull like 550, 585 for a couple. We'll see what's popping and then we'll get into it. Would you kill the death ratio? No friends on Xbox 360. We're wearing that shirt. We're gonna get you a lot of women. Have you seen this guy? This guy's jacked. Comment below if you know what a brute is. Cause these guys are trash. That's not a brute. That's the low like. That's the big one. No, that's the little one with the loads of childhood. Who officially tapped out? No. I didn't tap out. You're like no dinner, just snackies. No, let's get McDonald's. Pony piece, large fry? I don't eat McDonald's. I don't eat McDonald's. I don't eat McDonald's. It's snack time? It's snack time. No, it's dinner time for you. I'll eat your dinner. That's fine. I'll eat your dinner and then I'll eat your dessert. That's how it goes. Dinner and dessert. That's just for this? Yeah. It looks like you've been prepping for like a carbohydrate apocalypse. If all the sugar in the world disappeared, she is sad, dog. That's cool. Oh, that's banga too. What's the best one? Oh, that looks yummy. That's the cool. That's the yummies? This is really good. You're crazy. I love this. That's a lot. You go, oh my, little piece. Every single one. I'm gonna eat the whole thing. Shout out to Max Schooning. I'm gonna eat the whole thing. The whole thing? I'm gonna eat the whole thing too. I'm gonna eat the whole thing. But I have to do it. No, you're not. Cause I'm gonna eat it. I'm gonna eat it all. Oh, my peanut brittle. Yep. I'm starting there. Fam, we tried. I'm back. Back home. Quick flight. Logging on these trips becomes difficult. I need to get better at it, but I hope you enjoyed it. Because we're filming, they're content trips that I'm like working on. Right? So I'm there to shoot four barbed over gate, four videos in like two days. And so I'm trying to give you guys some BTS, but I don't want to ruin their flow. But I enjoyed the trip, man. I love you guys coming with me. Hopefully some lifting footage there. I know it's not S cinematic. Shout out to my boy, Seabass, who shoots all the coolest shit for you guys. But when I'm shooting myself, it's not as beautiful. New videos, man. Every single week, two a week. We're gonna up it to three to week. If we can get this thing to about a thousand likes. So if we get these videos to a thousand likes, we're gonna start to up the flow. I appreciate you guys so much, man. We over me. Be part of something bigger in yourself. 3sp.co. Catch you soon.

Now the question is, what happens next? And this is kind of where, again, like I said, we take off our rose-colored glasses and look at the facts, look at the data going for today. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com nightly wrap up show, hope everybody is doing well. So we've been talking about this for a long, long time. I remember, I think I've mentioned this several times, during 2009, when we were still towards the end of the financial crisis, everybody had the same notion, the same notion was, well, when does this market, and when does this market finally go up again? How can the market go down every single day? And I've said this update after update after update. Eventually you have to start looking at some signs that the market is just a little bit tired on one side. And we started talking about years ago that the market will never tap you on the shoulder and say, hey, by the way, we're done going down. You can start buying stocks and everything is all good in the world. You get taller, life looks better, you get more better looking, everything is good in the world. That doesn't work that way. But we do know from the series of bear markets that I've traded, some of the signs. And number one, the biggest sign that sellers are getting tired is number one, the days that the market is going lower, you're starting to shrink in damage. Collateral damage is getting smaller. The volatility starts to shrink a little bit. Bad news starts to discard. And the most important part is that bad news. And for example, yesterday, if you looked at earnings last night, and first and foremost, I apologize, there was no video last night. My daughter had a soccer game and my wife just couldn't make, so I had a driver. So that's why usually I don't do a video on Thursday nights since I did the one yesterday. I'm doing one today. And the most important part was if you looked last night on earnings, you had all the recipes of, again, more failure. So you had in the video last night, the video came out with earnings, they weren't bad. They just weren't bad. Future guidance wasn't crazy. And last night, right, last night, you saw, you know, go down about $10, $12. You had snow, right? Snow last night had, you know, came out with earnings. Again, this is not, you know, this is still a growth story. We've seen a lot of tons of growth story stocks still getting hit. But the most important part was what we saw last night and what we saw from the video and snow this morning was stabilizing pre-market. And they were way off their highs, excuse me, way off their lows. And why is that different? Because if you look at every single earnings call, right, from the retailers to Netflix, to start it off, earning season, everything else in between, when there was any type of violence to the downside, the market would be locked limit down. It felt like locked limit down, right? It felt like the Nasdaq would be down 250, 300 the next day. And we're like, here we go again. But last night was also a little bit more different. Again, we're talking about collecting data. These are the things we wanted to see. Last night, some news came out on Tesla. And Tesla went down 10, 15 bucks very, very quickly. And slowly, but surely as I was sitting there in the soccer game, I started watching Tesla go from down 15 to down nine to down six to down three. And by the time the ECNs closed at eight o'clock last night, Tesla was down 50 cents from the close. The video was like $3, $4 away from the lows. Snow even rallied $4, $5 away from the lows. We'll say, let's see, you know, let's see how much down, right? How much down the Nasdaq is gonna be tomorrow at the open. And when you wake up this morning, the Nasdaq was up, right? And that's the whole point. They started discarding bad news. This wasn't great earnings report. Usually if everything was really, really bad, if this was even a week ago, the video would have taken down all the semiconductors, right? All of them would have been bleeding. They would have been a predominant way in on the Nasdaq 100 and things would have got real very, very quickly just the way they've been for the last five months. Snow, right? If you guys remember, who came out with that bad earnings? Was it TDOC, right? When TDOC came out with earnings, all these cloud stocks, right? Anything to do with cloud software got absolutely murdered that day. That didn't happen as well. And slowly, but surely we started seeing stocks go from small green, a small red, to small green, to bigger green, to bigger green. And then next thing you know, the market went off and running. And the most important part of today's rally was what happens next, right? And again, this is kind of where we all, I don't care if you're trading for a week, if you're trading for 10 years, you're trading for 50 years, okay? This is where you take off your rose colored glasses and turn around and go, okay, good. The Dow has been up five days in a row. The SPX, right? The SPX, let's talk about the spies right now. SPX is now up three days in a row, okay? The Qs that's had their absolute worst time since 2001, they're coming off the bottom. But here's what's great, right? Here's what's great. It's over, right? Now the question is what happens next? And this is kind of where, again, like I said, we take off our rose colored glasses and look at the facts, look at the data going for tomorrow, okay? Number one, fantastic aggressive rally today all across the board. It doesn't make a difference from where, from Tesla, we'll get to the pivots in a second, it's from Tesla to Amazon, to NVIDIA, complete reversal off the lows, traded fantastic, it's literally a half a step away from reclaiming major liberals and going higher. Facebook, everything rallied very, very aggressive, okay? That's the good news. The bad news is what happens next and is there something in the way that could derail this little euphoria? Again, I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. Today was actually the first time which probably traded on the long side with conviction probably in the last three, four weeks, okay? We've been pretty much sell bias every single day. And the reason why we went long bias today was because of the data that we saw last night. It was the data that we saw from the reversals of the earnings of all these things we kind of talked about. Again, remember, bad news gets engulfed, every single stock started trading together, right? There wasn't a disconnect, some stocks are strong, some stocks are weak, everything started to rise and the most important part was it was coming off a bottom and that was the key. So here's kind of a little bit of a history lesson where we try to always play devil's advocate, right? In a perfect world tomorrow, we follow through, we start building, we get above this, we got above this 302 level on the cues and then we have $18 of airspace, right? That's the perfect world. Let's now play devil's advocate so nobody is caught tomorrow with their blinders on in case this happens, okay? Let's do a quick history lesson. Here's the first time we hit the 20 day moving average, right? Excuse me, actually right here, right? Here's the first time we hit the 20 day moving average. What happens next? We went lower. Here's the second time we hit the 20 day moving average. What happens next? We went lower. Here's another time we hit the 20 day moving average. What happens next? We went lower. Here's the last time. This is the Fed. You guys remember that? Here's the last time. Here's the Fed. We went up 1,000 points that day on the Dow, like 500 points on the Nasdaq. What happens next? We hit the 20 day moving average. We had a week and a half, two weeks straight selling. Today, we got right to the 20 day moving average at 301. Why was 301 important? Because 301 was right over here. Sorry about that. My phone was on. It was right over here supply, okay? So we need tomorrow, okay? We absolutely have to. It's not a subjective, well, maybe we could do it next week. Tomorrow, we have to reclaim 302 on the close. Everybody see why? The top of the channel here is 302.25. The top of supply here on the 20 day moving average is 302.25. We need to build. We need to break 302.25 and start building on today's momentum. Because if not, we have plenty of data that started all the way back in April that every single time we hit the 20 day moving average, we reverse going lower. So the last thing we wanna do tomorrow is the market gaps up. It gets stopped at 302 and change and starts taking out opening range lows because data history has shown us what happens next, right? That's the devil's advocate. That's the grown adult part of being a trader. We all want a beautiful, you know what you guys, you know what damage we could do on the long side if we get a close above 302? Of course we all want it, right? This $18 of airspace in the queue. So everybody's pulling for it, right? We're not bears, we're not bulls, we're opportunists, we're high probability data takers building off that data and trading off that probability. So everybody's rooting for this, including myself. I've been sell-bys and it actually, I hate to say it, it felt really, really good, kind of weird, but really, really good to be long stocks today. So I think this 302 area everybody's cheering for if you say a little prayer tonight. Yes, we want to close tomorrow above the 302. Here's the other side of the equation. History has shown us, again, we're still in a bear market until we reclaim the 50-day moving average, but we're just trying to take advantage of this window of opportunity on the long side. If this window was only a couple of days and now tomorrow we're going to get rejected, so be it next Tuesday when we come back from Memorial Day, we'll be back to sell-bys. But I believe that all of us felt a little bit different today. We felt a little bit peppered in our step. It felt a little bit better kind of buying stocks and now we just need this close above 302. If you look at the SPY, here's a little bit of a better story, right? The SPY got above the 20-day moving average state. That's a good thing. So that's what's given me a little bit of a better confidence that we could get through that threshold on the cues because I'm assuming the spies, if they get a follow-through, they're going to pull up the cues instead of the cues pulling down the spies, but anything is possible. So if you look at where the spies close, and let's talk about it from the SPX point of view, the SPX closed above 30, what is it, above 40, my vision sucks, above 4050, right? Everybody see that? We closed above 4050. If we can get above 4100 tomorrow on the SPX, then we have room all the way up to 4200. So again, tomorrow is going to be super-duper important. If you look at these two levels, what is going to stop this? Here's the little chink in the armor. It's very, very possible, and it's not a bad thing, but it's very, very possible we have a res date tomorrow. Why? Because we just put up a 3% candle today, nearly 3% candle today on the NASDAQ, right? So it would be in a weird way, very, very helpful that we put it in inside day, not gap up and get rejected and lose eight points on the cues, just kind of sit there, maybe down a little bit, up a little bit, but kind of sit there. The problem with tomorrow's session is, it is a day before a long three-day weekend. I'm very, very shocked, very, very surprised that the volume today was pretty good. And somebody said, wasn't today low volume? No, the reason why you say that, if you look at every single chart, again, we'll get to individual pivots in a second. If you look at Tesla, for example, Tesla did not retest the rising support until the fifth candle of the day. That's five hours of seamless buying all day. And that's pretty much in line with a lot of the stocks as well, like Amazon, like Nvidia as well. So there was a really good solid push. Remember, when you have light volume, you're gonna get a thrust and you're gonna come back in. You're gonna get another thrust, you're gonna come back in. This was steady buying all the way for the first five hours of the day. So the volume was good. Since tomorrow, a lot of people will be going away, whatever your destination is, we could have a little bit of a slower day, but if everything plays out and this market is so wild, is so completely unpredictable, maybe we could get above this channels, right? Maybe we could get above supply, reclaim the 302 area. So when we come back for Tuesday, because Monday we're off, we have a really strong buy bias falling into our lap. So fingers crossed, guys. So remember, we need 302 tomorrow. We need to reclaim 302 on the queues and we need to close above 302 on the queues because if we get rejected at 302 on the queues, wha, wha, wha, that's just the reality. So let's talk about today's pivots and I have to go to, my daughter has a softball game, so I'll be cutting out here very, very quickly. I didn't wanna put a lot of pivots on today. If you notice, I put some longs, I put some shorts, right? Because we just didn't know what to expect for today, but at least for the first time today we were actually putting on long pivots and that was the most important thing and I've always maintained this. It's not how many you trade. It's how many you trade properly and there's nothing better. There's no two stocks better than Amazon and Tesla when they start expansion. So let's talk about this. Amazon 2177 needs to build. Amazon went absolutely bananas, right? Absolutely bananas. Here's the 77, this whole, you see this whole channel here? It took out this whole channel here, 2177. I said it was a shot at 2250s and the high of the day today was 2253. Phenomenal move on Amazon, when nuts. Tesla, again, proved to me there's a better stock out there. Just proved to me there's a better trading stock out there both long and short and I'll be more than happy to listen. So Tesla, if it opens under 670, we got very lucky because Tesla was trading above 670 the whole pre-market. If it opens below 670, then it's second entry. If it opens above then needs to confirm 680. Tesla opened below 670 and look, I've really lost for words how great the stock is. So it took out 670, right? Check this out. So it took out this whole channel 670. It took out this candle here at 680. And I said there's a shot today at 720. This thing went to 719 and closed right above the 10-day moving average. So make a long story short. If Tesla could get above this whole channel tomorrow, there's a shot, man. There is an absolute shot. This thing could get to 767.70 if the market gives an act to tomorrow. Again, big if, but again, it's definitely, definitely on the table. So huge move there. Obviously I put some shorts on it, put some short privets on as well that never confirmed. I was watching net to the downside, never confirmed. Apple to the downside, square to the downside, coin to the downside. Obviously they never all confirmed. But hey, well listen, we were trying to be responsible for both sides. 160 on the video, obviously never confirmed. Hey guys, I like this little BKSY. I had this massive volume. Keep an eye on this thing for tomorrow. Keep an eye. I had traded like 180 million shares yesterday, rested today, could wake up again tomorrow. So Amazon here it comes, 222 next supply. Traded perfectly, perfectly. Here's a running inside joke that we have. Absolute phenomenal moves. Tesla, Amazon, just go hoping everything is going absolutely nuts. And that's all you needed. That really is all you needed. When these things started humming, they started humming really, really aggressively. And I always say this, when you get a reversal in the market or a shift in sentiment, as much as all these other stocks are cool, right? These Rivians of the world and Looses of the world. Yeah, they'll give you a dollar, they'll give you 70 cents. When you get this kind of a window and you get this exaggerated buying, you wanna be in the ones that could give you 30, 40, 60, 80 points like a Tesla, Amazon, Google, stuff like that. So guys, God bless, have a great Memorial Day weekend. For all you guys who are trading, I'll see you tomorrow in the webinar. If not, have an awesome weekend and I'll see you guys on the weekend video. Take care, have a great night.

All right ranked down man. So this guy's a lot riding on this Well, I'm not confident enough in this team to take advantage of that though So I think him having that little Alright, we got it. We got him. We got a hit in. Oh prediction Okay, let's play some defense. Oh I dashed I dashed. It's true. The rumors are true. I did that's there. Oh Wow, I got fucking knocked down. Oh, I'm dead here Yep, level one super. Okay All right, that was a little extra bit of fancy. I didn't even throw that on but I guess he wanted to get Goku black out of there It makes sense. That's this is the worst thing that could have happened. All right, he messed it up though But genuinely that could have been really bad. Oh Man speaking of really bad Okay crashing down. Yep combo DHE, no DHE. I'm gonna pop it Lightning speed. Just the auto combo kick Let's see. Let's let's actually can't dash through a Vegeta's normal move. I don't know why Okay, we're gonna go for the level the hard knock down here Just because we can really Saw that coming All right. Nice. We're gonna get Vegeta back in here Which is kind of desperately what we need. We need to start taking down his numbers. Oh That was a sweet back dash. I'll give it up Don't test that range against me boy Gonna get roasted for that one. That's a mistake. I usually may I should be a I Don't know why I keep forgetting to throw that heavy out. But yes, I should do that Bad read bad read. I don't know. Yamcha feels so good like he feels like such a well-rounded character Surprised he didn't dash in there Okay, I'm just gonna auto combo our way out of there. Oh Look at the the hitbox on that book. Come on. How many times can one man mess that up? Okay, probably should have went behind the back. Yeah, that one would have been better to just go behind the back with All right. We kind of made a little comeback here mostly due to Yamcha But oh no, he doesn't even have Spartan Tank Kyokin. Oh, yeah, you already know we're going all the way here Let's go. Man. Hit did nothing this man All right, what's the mix-up? What's the mix-up? Oh, we are too sick with it. Oh my god Feeling good guys feeling good. Oh Ranked down. That's a shame, dude. Yeah, you hate to see that in a close match like that. Oh Didn't hit. Oh, okay adapting to the Vegeta nurse. I like it. Good on you Belmont. Oh, and I jumped Why Belmont? Going down. Oh, okay liking it liking what I'm seeing hit Gotta start doing real combos. Oh Hits dead hits dead messed up kept them in for too long. I don't know. I was feeling it Yep, can you blame a guy for just feeling himself sometimes? Oh I was trying to do a little dash forward. Well, at least Vegeta didn't get the full heal off. Oh Man, that was a that was I literally couldn't tell what was going on All right, in case you can't tell what I'm doing. I'm trying to wait for That's a shame. This is a real shame. It's gonna be up to Yoncha here. Let's see messes it up Yeah, I don't know about that We're just getting Yoncha back in. Oh didn't block low in time. Goku's coming back in the thing we didn't want to happen It's happening. It is at this time that I just regret not hitting that sparking button. Oh Wow Hey, it's a shame we couldn't keep him in the corner, but Okay, let's get this hard knock down try to actually take out. Oh, wait, wait. Oh That is beautiful that is way better than I expected way more damage All right, now I'm feeling a little bit better Go behind the back Just gonna pop sparking on this one It's gonna be heavily scaled, but ooh safe jumps. We got those Safe jumps. We got those Oh, oh look at these safe jumps All right, oh that you just hate to see this happen and I missed it. I missed it back dash Okay, we're just we're just gonna play defense. Oh No, I got mixed up. I Got I got confused there. Please let it drop. I got oh Oh Miss timed it, but I'm still living Okay, we're fine. We're absolutely fine here. Oh, yeah, we're doing fine We're doing fine. We're back. We're doing that. Absolutely fine. Wow. I had a really focused on that one I'm not even sure when the last time I talked was That was some intense focus going on. All right, let's finish this video strong. Let's finish it strong Up already dropping conversions. Look at how strong this video No, that was a very risky counter. No level one who into the assist Wow, okay looking kind of sit whoa All right, well Save tagging. Oh the G died and seemed coming. All right, if we hurry I think I want to get black back in here It's pretty minuscule amount, but oh Man getting black in no wait What's I just intense lag intense lag we're right back to your schedule. Oh See this is this is where I start to feel bad because that was all lag right there I don't think you would have dropped that if there hadn't been no lag Also bad reflect by me. Okay. That's a dead go-goo black in part due to lag, you know, I'm man enough to admit it In part due to the lag. Oh Wow didn't touch the ground quick enough getting sliding knocked down. Oh Wow, I put myself in the corner hate you absolute beast. Oh, oh My god more lag my head actually hurts from this Come on. Come on. Oh, wow. This is really bad. Oh, man. This is this is not great This is I am so sorry Belmont Belmont if you're watching this video, I don't blame you just quit Belmont save your points All right, it looks like we got Bardock sell and Vegeta all coming out to play here in the ranked games I don't trust blue squares anymore. By the way, don't trust them Because some some people are out here getting blue squares just so that when people accept their matches You know, they're in there. Let's see. Oh, that was a rough start. All right. All right Vegeta's is still pretty strong. Should have kept walking. Okay. All right. Nice. All right We got a cell in the corner here. So oh never mind. I'm in the corner. Oh Bardock still uh All right, let's get this hard knockdown because we still have three bars anyway. So here's a plan We're gonna have this cell hard knockdown in the corner and we're just gonna go for it right here Wow, I really hope I didn't click a button. Oh It oh My god the time assassin himself All right, let's go now. I'm feeling it. I'm expecting him to uppercut. Oh Nice grab. I think you saw me reflect there Probably should have won with the super dash but that is a okay. Oh, never mind. We're getting level three. Yeah, we're sitting in the corner Not pretty by the way, we're not sitting pretty. Oh, let's see That's not gonna hit. Yeah, I Don't know why oh he's sparking didn't get in time. Oh We in there Your sparking doesn't mean anything. Oh We did. Oh, no, we didn't we didn't I thought I had built up two bars there Come on kill kill kill kill kill super dash. Oh Yikes. Oh The instant transmission nobody ever sees it coming. Oh, by the way, I'm just just here to back us up I'm very bad with it. So I have to have a little, you know substitute for my poor block string That was basically my finger. Oh, okay final flash Go up go go high go high Okay, didn't go high now. I'm just gonna eat this Eat this mix up real quick. Oh never mind. He's just gonna kill me. I agree. Oh, I He did it. I didn't expect him to mistime it. I just let go of my controller Well, seriously, he's Yamcha gonna end up being the one that saves us here. Okay, okay Super dash. All right, this is death. This is death right here. Boom spirit ball. I'm Done. All right, let's head into this second match. Let's let's get some more Goku blue and hit work This is my true power. Yeah, good job. Yamcha. You really did a lot that match All right, so I'm gonna predict he's gonna start it much like last time. Okay. Okay. I did not want Yamcha out here Okay, Yamcha. Oh, let's just get him back into the oh, no. Oh, yes, that feels so good Bosch working together for the first time I Guess not the first time. Oh, you would have thought I wasn't gonna super dash. Oh That is just not what you want to see happen. Oh Wow, Goku's the only one that's gotten touched. Oh, no, that was bad Damn eating the knee Boom mixing the grab there. I'm gonna not want to eat that. Oh Nice dash. I can appreciate that Doesn't mean I'm liking with that. What's that? Oh, yeah, I thought my oh, yikes. Oh This is not gonna be good for you. Are you kidding me? Don't ever find a flash me. Let's go. Are you kidding me? Hit what? All right. Oh hit you You are Come on hit. Come on. You got to give me something to work with All right. There you go. Hit. There you go There you go, that's all I needed you to do that's all I needed I don't know why you didn't hit him and during his final flash, but You know you came through in the end. That's all that all of it really matters Okay, if he didn't okay, probably should have just went with a normal combo, but yikes Sometimes you make the wrong read or actually I think that was the right read. I just did it too late. Oh My god, I'm loving that Vegeta nerf. Oh dropping straight down on me Hey, I'll mesh light Oof giving a lot of damage a lot of damage here and Hit is down because I tried to go for the super just to you know DHC him out of there All right top on our priority list is to overhead Yikes, that could have been way worse No, that's not good. I was hoping we wouldn't take another hit until we at least got one of his teammates down We're gonna have to deal with the mix up here Six bars though. So as long as we can get oh I should have one with them. Oh shocking conflict. That's not Okay. Okay, fine. I'll DHC if I have to to get the kill. I'll do it. Oh man Wow Moving in our rapid pacer. Oh Wow, that looked really cool That looked really sick Double kicking them up. I was really panicking there. All right. Let's get Goku back in here No, but nobody's here to see Yamcha. He's he's had his time in the sun. Boom going up Oh, I was gonna I wanted to finish him off on my level three, but I Guess I'll finish him off with Yamcha. So wow really waiting for that. K. I wasn't worth at all Jesus sorry this video had an end on such a note, but Guess this video is ending on a cliffhanger. Hope you guys enjoyed make sure to leave a like and a comment if you did Let me know what teams you want to see hopefully whoever asked for hit is happy with this Hopefully you guys are enjoying the longer videos as well. I'm Dr. Delia. I'll see you in the next video

Alrighty, let's watch this in full. I think after having watched the main thing about this actually at the end Once you get to here that feels a bit strange We got this coming up and then right around here is she get a Kind of a slowdown in here and a bit of a very isolated Move through here without anything else Then it massages stop there But also another huge change in the fingers be careful how you are coming off this pose. I Do like this. I like how you have that compression loosening. They're relaxed But then throughout you could have a slight change in the finger pose also anticipating what Which is going to do next so at this point it gets a bit too. It's one pose only and Then it kind of just kind of Pops into not a super pop, but it kind of it just feels like it gets there. There's one moving and that's it I was in a very straight pose. I would love to see something You know for something like that if you could find more reference. Is there anything specific that would be cool to add not just something where The you know, there's a move, but it's anything specific something interesting that they would do if they scratch like that I mean, it's also You know, I guess it's almost a very human Pose at the end as well. So they could be something where have you found any footage when they sit down where we can really look at that's a very specific way of sitting and moving and turning around and scratching so that this doesn't quite feel like a human acting it out that makes sense and Then I will probably on that sit down good, you know, whatever shadowing you're using it feels like there's a gap So go in there and lower that maybe a slight intersection to feel like it's pushing I don't know if you have any Squishy controls on this here, but I feel like the balance is better through there thing that's happening here that captures my eye is that you have Movement in the chest and the head Moving to the right and it's if it feels just a bit locked with chest in the head I'm moving as one unit And it goes fairly quickly and suddenly stops and it's almost like that head sticks into the space While the rest is moving down That makes sense. You can have maybe a bit more movement up with a slight Breakup where the head is dragging a little bit and then maybe the heck was up a bit more to look around I look around just kind of lead a bit more so you feel it decoupling of the head and the chest and if you're having a impact of that watch out. There's a slight feel of the shoulder going back stop up and I would Simplify that a little bit with just a nicer arc And if that is a stopping point then for the rest to come in Again, I would decouple the chest in the head. It feels like the whole Body moves. There's a slight change to there in the rotation That's cool, but I think you can start that a bit sooner with a slight bigger drag on the head But I'm seeing a bit of a back-and-forth in that arm area. I want right through there It was a little bit of a rotation in there There's something where you can see that this whole thing here that arm Goes to the right and then stops and then goes the other way and the arms are still bends if you could reduce that It has a slight feel like this. If you just watch that arm and doing the section one It's a bit of a wobble there. That's a bit of a pop there. Watch out There's something a bit fast in this bends Right through there and again a bit of a wobble in this arm and then watch out. It feels like this shoulder comes up Too soon. There's no pressure yet and there's no raise of the arm. This was like a very deliberate Shoulder move up before pressures of pressure supply even if you Put the hand there. It's not not on this frame This will go up. You still have to put this down and then put weight on this Which happens over here this section. That's been all the way Pushes down here. That's when you get the spreading of the fingers and then the shoulder will go up Another way is on it. So watch out when you do move Shoulders Looks better here because you're putting it down and then comes pressure and then this goes up So this was better there This one I would probably reduce the shoulder tiny bit just because puts the hand down but there's still a lot of Weight on this leg and not this arm because there's a weight shift because of that leg coming up So the most pressure is actually going to be on this leg here So that amount of shoulder movement I would actually reduce by half. Just doesn't feel like All the other ones it feels a bit too much if you play this pop up There's a bit of a sharper move through there and then the end All right, hope that helps. Thanks All right There's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you

Easy Has a Cost for Women in Construction #Shorts
|
Workplace and job site harassment is all too common in the workplace. While completely inappropriate, sometimes it's easier to brush it off as if nothing happened.
But pushing the problem down the line doesn't solve the issue. Easy has a cost for everyone, not just women.
Check out this #Shorts to learn what the true cost of this is.

Easy has a cost if we don't say something they're gonna continue to call us. Hey, hon. Sweetheart, you know I've always thrown back. Yeah pumpkin. What do you need? It's things like that that if you don't call them out They may not even recognize that they're doing it and it may not be intentional, but easy has a cost if we just let it Happen it's gonna continue to happen and the industry is not gonna change

Hello everybody, I am Dr. Kesha Valasi from Walton Institute of Technology, Solapur. In today's session, actually in continuation with earlier two sessions, we will again talk about some introductory aspect of management, basically industrial management. At the end of today's session, you are expected to understand what are the major applications of industrial management as well as understand what is the scope of industrial management. Coming to major application areas, actually scope and applications if you talk in general for anything here particularly for industrial management. This was earlier restricted to manufacturing industries only, but with changing times as the supply chain and other operations related things have been very vital in today's context. Nowadays, these are thought in the field of service sector also or service organizations also in addition to manufacturing organizations. Now major applications if we think of then different authors might compile these applications in different groupings. There can be different perceptions and based on that there can be variations in this. Here I am referring one particular such perception wherein pre-production planning, production planning and control, then inventory management, then TQM that is total quality management and some other functions. These five groups as gross consideration I am referring here and at this juncture I request you people to think of different organizations for such applications of industrial management. Think of some cases, some industrial setups in manufacturing as well as service sectors to correlate these applications. Let us talk a little more about these applications. The first group was pre-production planning. This is something wherein before you start the actual production you need to look into certain aspects like plant location, plant layout and allied things wherein if I give the example then for cement manufacturing industry you really need to look for the location when the raw material is amply available and same goes with the sugar industry wherein the sugar production is crop is more there you prefer to have that location of sugar industry. Then plant layout yes if we take auto industry then which machine should be kept where the sequencing and scheduling aspect have been very critical and the total time elapsed time the cycle time all these things wherein idle time you really need to cut down and here in industrial engineering we have got different charting techniques some tools are there with which we really can think about plant layout. Before the manufacturing begins that is very important pre-production state then capacity planning yeah I mean if we have certain productivity requirement rather production rate if we have certain requirement like for example 10,000 vehicles per month suppose if we just take a case then 10,000 certain quantity of what automobile the number to be manufactured it needs other resources compatible to this 10,000 number that means how many machinery you need for 10,000 vehicles to be manufactured how many workers you need what different types of super managers so these all things come under capacity planning. Next is selection of machinery and equipments yeah people need to replace the machinery the war not machineries or maybe to get into advanced technology later things CNC technology flexible manufacturing system robotics high level automation thing so industries need to look into this that comes in particularly this selection of machinery and equipments. Same is with machinery handling or different metal handling systems in automation what level of automation you need and how do you like to handle these machineries as well as materials or systems you need these all things you think before actual production means. Second stage is while you really are about to start the production that we group as a production planning and control here again we have planning this planning is a particularly concerned with the production planning and here you need to really look into what type of product and in what quantity or what time period you need to manufacture. So, these types of production planning related things you have to work out then a routing is another application we have when you decide about the route card job card kinds of things like for a particular job but through what route it will pass in the shop floor in the industry which first it will go to as a first operation which machine it will go second operation which machine will it go likewise in what route it will follow sequence of machines so as to complete its all operations and take it to the finish level. Scheduling yes everywhere we do need with job will come to which machine at what time that is a scheduling aspect very simplistically if I talk then dispatching it is nothing but you give the you release the shop orders is a document you can say nowadays may be digitized form but unless the orders are given for the manufacturing things won't begin for actual manufacturing so that dispatching and controlling yes against the planned quantities are you really manufacturing the required ones if not why know the reason take the action that's controlling then third group is inventory management that's a very biggest application the aspect when you really maintain your stores also incoming material their quantity checkup and which department should be given how much quantity the record of all these things nowadays people are using ERP software in that they have this particular thing as one of the major modules in that and it's a crux of manufacturing industry then is a total quality management there is no compromise on the quality and the concept of totality comes up in that wherein we look into all aspects all the stakeholders we consider their blamed in ultimately bringing out the quality of the product and other applications you can think of like in finance department marketing human resource department everywhere you will find lots of applications of industrial management I repeat again these are the few major applications compiled in certain perception in certain mode you will find little variations with the different authors also now coming to the scope of industrial management yes we are talking because there is a tremendous for the management if you see lots of many institutions are running lots of variety of courses and they are highly running and with that the very first if you see it aims at faster organizational growth organization has to grow that is for that thing you need management without management how the original grow how will you carry out the proper consumption what is called as the optimum consumption or utilization of the resources if you have these things optimally carried out then only your organization may develop may grow and there is tremendous scope for these applications of you know like scope is tremendous in the sense optimum utilization there are lots of techniques available if you just think of industrial engineering or operations research you will find hundreds of tools and techniques for optimum utilization. Second point is it can be seen as a promising solution for whom for the people those who are looking into higher careers so for career aspirants yes tremendous scope is there earlier also this are restricted to only manufacturing industries and nowadays service organizations are also included in that so the tremendous scope supply chain management with the mall culture if you see tremendous supply chain management things are being carried out with lot of scope it covers complete supply chain remember supply chain has been very vital issue nowadays and you can think of any mall you can think of any domain like automobile chemical textile FMCG any any type of product and their supply chain you need to manage very rightfully further to it it looks into managing all forms of inventory like raw material work in process as well as finished goods so in managing inventories it's a very very big task having lot of scope many industries are closed down their businesses if they cannot if they could not in the past maybe handle the inventories properly and again putting little grossly so scope if we think of it really addresses almost all the functionalities like production management maintenance management maybe it's a marketing sales finance HR legal any any department you think of management is expected to address all these issues living tremendous scope for industrial management in all walks of life as well as in all the departments of any organization maybe it is manufacturing or service here I recommend these five books but beyond this you can even refer lots of things available on internet also thank you

Welcome folks, we have the now industrial trade down 140, Nasdaq is up 30, S&Ps down 4.5, Gold contract up $10.90, trading at $17.59 an ounce, we have Silver up $0.07, $19.05 an ounce, Light Sweet Crew up $3.34, $93.70 a barrel, notes and bonds, 10-year note, down three ticks trading $1.17, $20 to $30, year off $13 at $137.17 and $Kingdala, $Kingdala is down 428 ticks trading $108.618, the euro is $99, the yen is at the price point of $136 and the British pound is at $118 to $1.00 US. We get over and take a look at the S&P, this is going to be a tricky one man, here we go. So, we take a look at this baby and more than likely what you have here folks is you're setting up an ABC structure down, that's going to bring it down into the 27th, it's a close call, the reason it's a close call is this, yesterday it came down in volume and you can see the spy did get under yesterday's close, we did 77 million S&Ps, only 34, lowest 412, 40, you get to 411.70 today, so it's like okay, if you take that as an A point that's 431, the B point is basically 412, so what, 12, 2434, you get about 18 and that would get you at about the 400 mark and that 394 to 402 is right down there. So, we take a look at the NDX, the NDX is set up the same way, it's really going to matter how we close here, that's what it comes down to, the NDX3 is the same way man. You take that top, 334, you take the bottom, 313, that's 30, that's going to get you into the 285 level, yeah and it's 298 to 308. And the reason I'm saying it's a close call is this, you can see in both cases you did get under yesterday's and you have the volume contracting dramatically and we know what it's all about folks, because the bottom line is at the market this morning, that's why gold was running, you had the dollar basically missed the high by, we hit 109.27, well 109.29, you know so it's, yeah it's 2100s that it missed it by, now that being said you can see it's come back a bit, you know we had a low of, and that's why you're not seeing this market go anywhere, so it's all about the dollar man, stare at that folks, come right back.

My personal teaching experience, the different roles of an ESL teacher. Each of us has our own story to tell especially with the different experiences that we have with the different people, classes, and countries we have been to teach. In this blog post, I am discussing some of the topics related to my personal teaching experience, including teaching classes containing a wide variety of ages. It will also touch on teaching styles, roles of the teacher in the classroom and how I motivate students to make the learning more fun and engaging. Teaching classes of a wide variety of ages is quite challenging and exciting at the same time. Challenging in a way that I have to be more creative in executing my lessons so that my students enjoy learning. I have to be more flexible when teaching young learners compared to adults. Actually, I currently teach in this kind of setup here in Japan. At first, it was kind of hard for me because I used to teach junior and college students when I was in the Philippines and their age gap is not that big, but in my present job, I teach students from preschool level to adults. It is really exciting because I am able to learn and use different teaching styles. It is also interesting because I am learning different ways of motivating students and my roles as a teacher change depending on what kinds of students I am dealing with. Teaching is learning wise. For preschool kids, I always take the role of being a controller and as a participant in such a way that I am in complete charge of the class. What the kids do, what they say and how they say it. As a teacher, I assume this role when I teach the kids new language and how to accurately reproduce it while giving them a lot of time to practice and enjoy what is being taught. However, I also nurture them and make them feel loved and well taken care of. With junior students and adult classes I usually take on the roles of a controller, prompter, resource, assessor, organizer, participant, and tutor. The right role depends on the level and the type of lessons. For junior high school students, the curriculum includes developing all the major skills in English, however in my adult classes, it solely depends on what kind of English they want to learn. In my case, I teach adult business English classes and snapshots which includes daily conversation series to help clients slash students socialize and interact in natural conversations with native speakers. The other reason why I find teaching classes with a various age levels interesting is that I have a chance to review the basic of English and strengthen my foundation to better improve my English skills and teaching strategies with each different group. Teaching is learning wise. My students learn from me but vice versa, I also learn a lot from them. Are you ready to start teaching English abroad?

Sister Power's mission is that women everywhere were learned to live as sisters, to respect each other's differences, to heal each other's wounds, to promote each other's progress, and to benefit from each other's knowledge. CEO and founder of Novelchik Publications, TJ Taylor, fell in love with reading well before she made her highly anticipated appearance in kindergarten. She amassed several notebooks of poetry which sparked an interest in penning romance short stories and ultimately led her under the pen name, Tisha Jordan, to take a leap of faith in becoming a published author of romance novels, the first of which is the current development for short film production. Twenty-five books later and after becoming a certified life coach, TJ Taylor ventured into a new genre in publishing her first non-fiction work, Oh You Call Yourself Her Sister, 12 Ways to Heal Toxic Friendship. Meet our VIP guest, TJ Taylor. Hello. Thank you so much for having me today. Welcome to Sister Power. Thank you. So happy to have you here. Happy to be here. You know, as soon as I saw your information on Facebook, I reached out to you immediately. Sister Power and Sister's Empowering Hawaii, which we motivated and empower all women. I just felt the need to showcase your book and showcase you. Thank you so much. I appreciate the opportunity. Is something extra you want to tell us a little bit about yourself? I know you're a certified life coach. I am. I'm actually a teacher by trade. No, that's a little different from being an author. Maybe not so much, but I'm definitely a teacher by trade. So I think it's sort of always been in me to coach, teach and mentor. And so it really was a natural progression for me to become a life coach and to pin this book as well. I'm surrounded by a lot of wonderful women in my daily life. And I just feel like sometimes we really have to do better because we are always someone's example. Absolutely. I always say every time you step out the door, you represent your brand. Yes. And by that, I mean not just how you look, but just how you are kind to people. Yes. How you speak to people. You speak to the janitor. You speak to the CEO in the same way. That represents your kindness and your sincereness represents your brand. It really does. Absolutely. So I'm loving this book. I read your book. Oh, you call yourself her sister. Yes. Love it. So let's start. Sure. Why this book and why now? Well, why this book and why now is because I'm becoming more and more involved in different organizations and just community efforts that really are geared towards mentorship and coaching. And it just occurred to me that we can really say and do some other things as women sometimes. And the same way that we're conscious of the way that we speak and carry ourselves with our children at home, we have to understand that young ladies that we mentor, they will pick up those same ugly habits if we don't show them the right way. So that really is the essence of why this book, why now? Sisterhood is vital. Very. It's vital. Absolutely. That's what you said in the book, in the back here. It says, sis, boo, hun, babe, bestie. We use these terms quite liberally, even too loosely in some instances, which is fine until we discover that our ride or die friend got off a ride a few stops back. Yes. And that's heartbreaking. Sometimes that's how it happens. So you don't even realize it until you find yourself neck deep in the ugliness. That's when you realize that something went wrong with your friendship, your sisterhood, and you have to fix it. And, you know, I think that people think that when you first meet them that flattery just gets you everywhere. No, it does not. People are smart. Yes. Especially women. Yes. We're very smart. And we know when you want something. Yes. We know when you're not sincere about it. Yes. And then we know the ones who are just simply coming. Yep. We do. What has been your experience? Well, I tell people all the time that when you first meet someone, the first 90 days of that relationship, so whether it's a friendship, a relationship with your coworkers, an intimate relationship, you're not meeting that person. You're meeting their representative. So you have to hang around beyond the 90 days to really get to see the person at their worst when they're angry, when they're frustrated, when they're sad, you know, when they're vulnerable to really see the true them. So you have to hang around for a little while to be able to see that. Well, that's like working on a job. You have a 90 day probation period. Absolutely. And 90 days is really good because you do have a chance to see the real sister come out. Absolutely. Because that representative can probably hang around for 90 days, but it probably would be really difficult to be unauthentic beyond that 90 days. The true use going to come out eventually. You know, I don't mind opening doors for people. Mm-hmm. You know, it's the ones that want to step inside with you and go on that journey. But there are some that want you to open the door for them. And once they receive whatever they want from you, they're not there anymore. And I don't have a problem with closing the door. Absolutely. One of the things that I say to fellow authors that, because I have a team of authors that I call my pen sisters. And we collaborate, rebrain storm together. And sometimes we just kind of vent to each other. And I always say that if you are fortunate enough to get a seat at the table, you have an obligation to make sure that you make room for another sister to pull up and have a seat next to you. Don't forget about her. And we just have to always be conscious of that and keep that in mind. Your work is not done once you get in the door and get at the table. Your work is not done. It's just beginning. It's just beginning. Yes. So once you get a seat at the table, let's make room. Absolutely. There's enough room for everyone to come and have a seat. It really is. And I think that that's one of the challenges with women. And we're speaking about women. Yes. Now, is that we don't feel that there's enough room. There is. But it's something that my attorney told me a long time ago, one of my attorneys. He said, not all adults are grownups. That's very true. So you have to be a grownup in a relationship. You do. You do. Absolutely. And that's one of the things that we kind of, some of the behaviors that the book touches on is sort of identifying those childish behaviors and understanding how to address those behaviors if they're yours or how to nurture your friendship where you can either come to a point where you decide I can't coexist with this person. I know they have these behaviors. Here's how we're going to work past that. Or maybe you need to throw your hands up and say, this is not a situation that I need to be in. But absolutely. We have to shape those childish behaviors. Childish behaviors. Yes. And I was walking through the grocery store and I saw Oprah's magazine and I said, the keys to lasting friendships. And I said, this is a perfect show. Yes. Your book to talk about friendships. Absolutely. So let's explore about 12 ways to heal toxic friendships. Sure, absolutely. What does it feel like? And you have a list here. I do. Oh my goodness. Let's talk about that. Okay. So I find that for the most part, there really are about five behaviors that you sort of can identify when your friendship has kind of taken a turn and gone south. And you may find that it's a situation where there's a lot of selfishness going on where it's, you know, a lot of I and not enough we. You may find that there is a lack of loyalty. So where you have this undying commitment to this person and to this friendship, it doesn't, you know, it's not something that's reciprocal. So you may find yourself committed to someone who's committed to themselves and that can be an issue. This honesty as well. Honesty is important in any relationship, whether it's a friendship, you know, on your job, definitely marriages. Honesty is very, very important. And so if you find yourself in a situation where your friend is being dishonest with you or you're being dishonest with your friends, you probably need to stop and kind of check and figure out what's going on because you're creating a toxic situation. And then lastly is the envy. This is something that so many women are guilty of and it can be subconscious. We don't even realize it. I was walking through the store the other day and I'm not from the south. I'm not originally from the south, but southern hospitality is definitely something that is there and it's genuine. And anytime that I'm in the south, doors are open, speaking to people that you don't even know walking down the street. And I walked past a woman and I spoke but I didn't get a response in return. I got an eye roll and it was just kind of like, where is that coming from? And but that just kind of ties into the envy. It could be so subconscious that we don't even realize that we are envious of another woman and we should not be envious. We should celebrate her. And if we see that she has something that we want a piece of, sister, can you show me how I can get that? Don't be envious of it. Absolutely. I want to know and learn everything there is to be a better woman. Absolutely. And that's what it's all about. And envy, you know, there are two that I've encountered. Toxic friends are fake. Yes. And the envious one, that's the biggest one to me. Yeah. Because how can you really call yourself someone's friend if you're envious of them? Because that envy is going to lead you to negative behaviors. So it's going to lead to the disloyalty which is going to be someone talking about you behind your back or bad-mouthing you. Instead of praising you and celebrating all the things that make you you, they will try to nitpick and tear you apart. Is that really being a friend? No. Not at all. Yeah. So it ties into the fakeness. Being a fakeness. So also you touched about colorism. Yes. Which is, to me, I don't get it. But, you know, I understand it. Yes. From our history, you know, from being slaves. Yes. And, you know, dealing with the master and the field people and then the house people. I understand it. But I don't understand that we already have other races that are against us. So why should we be against each other? Because you have a beautiful brown skin. I have a beautiful brown skin. Maybe a shade lighter and maybe a shade darker. Because it happens on both sides of the trap. And it's something that we actually subconsciously and unknowingly pass down to younger generations. I've seen studies. I've seen examples just online on social media just doing random research where you put two young girls that are two different complexions together. And the young girl that is darker skin will feel like she's not pretty simply because her skin is darker. And the young girl who is lighter will feel like she doesn't fit in and be long because she's not dark enough. And it's something that we subconsciously pass down to young women. And we just have to stop it. And like you said, understand that it doesn't matter what shade you are. We can both be beautiful regardless of our shades. And your worth as a woman is not assigned to the shade of your skin. We have to understand that. We do. And where do we start? How do we get this message out? Because it's so vital. It is. It is. I think the first way that we have to start is with self-reflection. Because I have to make sure that I am being the best person that I can be, the best woman that I can be before I can reach out and help someone else. It's kind of like the old adage of, if I'm not well, how can I help you be well? I have to make sure that I'm well. So I have to make sure that I'm doing my due diligence to address my own behaviors. We all, women, want to think that we're perfect. We want to think that we don't do anything wrong. Don't say anything wrong. But the fact of the matter is that we're not perfect. And so we have to be honest enough with ourselves to say, hey, I'm not perfect. This is what I need to work on so that I can be a better woman, to be a better friend, to be a better sister. And I really feel like that's where the work starts. We have to understand that the type of friend that we would like to receive in return, that's the type of friend that we should be. That is the energy that we should be exuding in our interactions with every woman. And it starts with liking yourself. Yes. And one thing I've also noticed, too, I was reading something about Shonda Rhimes. Mm-hmm. If you have too much personality, that's a threat to another woman when you're just being yourself. Yes. And she said, if you're taking up too much room, take up more. Take up more, absolutely. So it's about loving yourself. It is, absolutely. And you have to understand that if you expect others to love you, you have to love yourself first. If I see that you're not proud of you and I don't see a sense of pride in the way that you dress and the way that you enter a room and carry yourself, why should I be proud of you? So you must be proud of yourself, absolutely. I actually encounter that a lot as far as my personality being too big and being too forward and too blunt and too outspoken. And you know what I say? God gave me this mouth for a reason, and I'm going to use it to change the role however he sees fit to leave me. I don't plan on being quiet anytime soon. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. And we have more to share when we come back. Yes. Tisha. Taylor. We're talking about, oh, you call yourself her sister, 12 Ways to Heal. Talk to friendship. Don't touch a doll. We'll be right back. Hi, guys. I'm your host, Lillian Cumick from Lillian's Vegan World. I come to you live every second Friday from 3 p.m. And this is the show where I talk about the plant-based lifestyle and veganism. So we go through recipes, some upcoming events, information about health, regarding your health, and just some ideas on how you can have a better lifestyle, eat healthier, and have fun at the same time. So do join me. I look forward to seeing you. And Aloha. Aloha. I'm Mellie James, host of Let's Mana Up, Tuesdays every other Tuesday from 11 to 1130. This show is meant to dive into stories of local product entrepreneurs and how they're growing their companies from right here in Hawaii. I'm so thrilled to have our show kicked off. And so please join us on Tuesdays at 11 o'clock as we talk to local entrepreneurs and hear their stories. Welcome back to Sister Power. I'm Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. And we are talking to Ms. Tisha Taylor, author of Oh, You Call Yourself Her Sister. And before we went to break, you covered the 12 ways to heal toxic friendships. Well, we discussed the toxic, fake, dishonest, disloyal, envious. Being envious is one of the biggest ones, I think, that we unfortunately women have with each other. So now we're going to talk about how to heal it. Absolutely. Let's chat about that. Sure. Because I love that you say Tisha, TJ Taylor, is in the business of supporting sisterhood. Absolutely. Sometimes that's all we have in the end is our sisters and our sisterhood. So we have to make sure that we take care of that. I love that. So ask yourself, why do I want to heal this friendship? Yes, definitely. You have to make sure that it's a situation that you want to remain in. Not all friendships are meant to last forever. And I'm a firm believer that people sometimes come into our lives for a season. So sometimes when that person's season is up, you have to let them go. Before you move forward with investing the energy to heal the friendship, the sisterhood, you have to make sure that you're clear on what you expect the outcome to be. If your expectation is, my sister is going to end up being exactly how I want her to be, you're not being realistic with yourself, and you're setting yourself up to be disappointed and slip back into a toxic situation. So just make sure that you're clear on why it is that you want to heal that friendship. Well, and what is the next step? Once you've realized that maybe this friendship is not for me, but I also believe too that it's how you part your friendship to be in a good place. Because not everyone is ready at that same time. Sometimes we're not ready. So I think it's how you depart from the friendship is very important. And the next step is really, and this kind of ties into whether you decide to stay in the friendship or let it go, forgive. Forgiveness is something that people struggle with in general, but especially women, because we're emotional creatures as women. So I'm going to remember not necessarily what you said, but how you made me feel. So I can say that I forgave you, but if I have not genuinely forgiven you when that situation, when that memory comes back to me, I'm going to remember how you made me feel. And now I'm mad all over again, and I didn't forgive you. I have to forgive you all over again. So we definitely have to make sure that we forgive because we all have a past. You're not the same person today that you were several years ago and neither am I. No one wants to be judged on their past. So we should have room as women to be able to make mistakes, you know, admit our faults and move on from it and learn from those mistakes. So you really have to forgive before you can move forward and heal anything. Yes, no one's perfect. Absolutely. What I've realized in all my years here on this earth is that when you have a true friendship, you know what button's not to push. You learn it. You know what's toes not to step on. Absolutely. And then that comes back to respect. And that's actually one of the ways that I have to heal is to respect. Because when you respect your sister, you accept that you guys are not identical. You accept that you have different points of view, different thoughts, different feelings. And you come to respect those differences. You have to appreciate your sister for who she is and where she is in her life at that point. And you have to respect those boundaries and limitations. So like you said, knowing what button's not to push. Some women are prone to be provocative as far as inciting and instigating conflict. And if you know that you have that quality about you, it may not be something that you can change. But you need to turn it down and put it on pause so that you don't hurt your friend's feelings. Because in a true friendship, your objective should not be to hurt your sister. It should be to uplift her and to love her. Absolutely. It's about healing each other's wounds, which is one of the missions for Sister Power. And also I reflect back on the longevity of friendship. And sometimes we have to let certain family members go too. Absolutely. Absolutely. And that can be difficult because nature would tell you that this is my family member. I am supposed to love them unconditionally, which you should. But just because you love them does not mean that they need to be actively present in your life at that point. Sometimes you have to take that time apart to heal from whatever trauma has been caused. And maybe allow them to learn about themselves before you can come back together to have them in your lives. There's absolutely nothing wrong with severing ties with a family member. If that's what you need to do to be healthy and for them to be healthy and sane, that's what you have to do. I also read somewhere that having lunch with your girlfriends, maybe once a month, twice a month, it is healing. It is. And it adds to your life. And it adds happiness. Speak about that. Just sisterhood or power lunches for women, which I love having. Absolutely. One of the other ways that I have to heal relationships is actually to communicate and keep in touch. And I think that goes into checking in. Don't only reach out to your sister when you need something. Don't wait until you need something to reach out. You should reach out and find out how she's doing. Don't wait until a special occasion to reach out. I think it is actually very helpful to have those once a month brunches or lunches or girls night out. Because when you come to expect those and you know that you're going to have that bonding time with your sisters, there may be certain things that you hold on to until you get into that setting to share with them. We become each other's therapists. We do. And we know it's a safe environment. We do. And that's the main thing is you have to be able to feel safe with your sister. It needs to be a judgment-free zone of unconditional love. It does not matter what I tell you that I did or I said, you're not going to judge me for it. You're going to love me and you're actually going to help me move past it. Like, okay, maybe this was not the right thing to do. Here's how maybe we want to handle this in the future. It has to be a safe zone. It does. And also, you know, I think that we spoke about earlier on the first segment of the show about using the term friends so loosely. You need to know what the word sisterhood and friendship means. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's very, very important. I think in the age of social media, unfortunately, social media has made it very easy to just reach out and connect with people to transcend boundaries. And because we're able to have these interesting dialogues with people that we've never laid eyes on, never even talked to, now we feel like that's our friend. I actually talked to my kids about that. Everyone is their friend. And I say, why is that person your friend? What makes that person your friend? Well, we play Xbox Live together. Okay, that's just someone that you're acquainted with. That's not your friend. So you're absolutely right. It's very important to know the true definition of that and to know what a true sister is because if you don't know it, then how can you hold yourself to that expectation of being a good sister? This is why I think this book is so vital. It's an easy read. It is a roadmap for sisterhood because this is the book, Oh You Call Yourself, Her Sister, that I think every woman should have on her bookshelf. Absolutely. And I think that every woman should pass it down to her sister, her daughters, her nieces, nephews. Also, let's bring men into the equation also. Sure. We also have good men friendships. Thank goodness my husband is a secure man because another thing is you have to be confident within yourself. Yes. And then the trust factor comes in. Yes, absolutely. So I do enjoy my men talking on the telephone with them as well. I think sometimes, especially as women, we find that it's easier to be friends, to have those casual friendships, platonic friendships with males because men are not as emotional as we are. They can see a situation for exactly what it is and take out all of the emotion and the extra stuff that does not belong there, the stuff that we add because we're in our feelings. They can take that away. And I was actually talking to your staff for your show and I was saying the difference in friendships with men and women is two men can have a knock down drag out disagreement in five years, five minutes later, they're back to being buddies. Look at basketball. Watching a game together. Exactly. Exactly. They play the win. They want to win the championship. Yes. But they're friends off the court. So we could actually probably stand to learn something about friendship just, you know, watching men and how they handle their friendships because it's like at the end of the day that friendship is what matters. And we need to get back to that as women and just remembering our root and our foundation. Our root is our friendship. Our foundation is our sisterhood. We have to make sure that we take care of that. And that's all that matters at the end of the day. It really does matter. Friendship, sisterhood. It's such a good, good feeling. I've also read that you have a 501c3 spending. Tell us about that. I'm actually in the process of starting a nonprofit called Heroines with Heart. And I basically want to target the youth in our community and making sure that they have enrichment activities, extracurricular activities to stay out of trouble and also combat childhood obesity. Because I tend to think that our country is getting more and more unhealthy because we have so much fast food and now we can have everything under the sun delivered. And so I think it's really important that we have something out there that is making sure that we're putting out the importance of being healthy holistically to our youth because they may not see it at home. And if we don't make sure that our youth are taken care of, who's going to take care of us when we're old and we're gray? Tell me you. I'm there. I'm there. We have some beautiful books here. This was your first nonfiction. That was my first nonfiction, yes. So tell us about this book. His heart belongs to me too. This was written, this is, I write primarily romance. So this was written under my other name, Tisha Jordan. And it's really about a girl from the other side of the tracks who thinks that she has a perfect relationship. But when she meets someone who shows her what true romance is about and what true love is about, it really forces her to sort of reassess her situation and understand that maybe she needs to demand better for herself instead of settling for what is there right now. You can't, you will never know what is around the corner if you just settle for what you have today. So explore a little bit. Is that what that's all about? Yes, definitely. Okay, I can work with that. I explored and I found the right one. There you go. I thought you did too. Absolutely. So wonderful. And so tell us about that book. So this book, Crushing on a Bloss, this is probably my favorite series that I've written. There's a lot of real life in there, pieces of myself, pieces of other women who have been important parts of my life. And this is about, it's really geared towards domestic violence. She wrote this book and all of the proceeds go to a domestic violence foundation. And it's just about a young girl who found herself in a really toxic relationship, a domestic violence situation, and she really did not see any other way out. And it took someone on the outside of the situation helping her to realize that she was beautiful and that she was worthy and that she was definitely deserving of real love to get herself out of that situation. Well, as my husband always says, you know, when you're looking for love, you have to be more loving. Absolutely. That's so important. So this book sounds a little bit like, or both of them, you cannot dim your light to make someone else shine. You cannot. You absolutely cannot. And I think that that's something that we all have to remember every day is women. If you need to write it on a post-it and stick it to your mirror so you see it every morning, when you brush your teeth, you make sure that you do that. You should never have to dim your light to be able to shine. And your true sisters and true friends will love you regardless of how bright you're shining. You will not be able to outshine true sisters. Oh, I just like that. But then it comes back to confidence. Yes. It's all about confidence and all about really loving your true selves. Yes. You know, we have flaws. We do. We're going to make mistakes as long as you're not the big ones. You know, there's certain steps that we, you know, cross the line on that should not cross the line. Absolutely. And I think we have to, once we chat with each other, we know, you know, okay, I don't care for this. I like this, but I do care for this. You know why they have 31 flavors of ice cream? Absolutely. Because I may not like your flavor, but I like this flavor over here. Exactly. And I like what you have. You dedicated this book. You said to everyone who wonders if I'm writing about them, I am. Yes. And the reason that I did that is because I think one of the flaws that we have is women is owning our truth and admitting our fault. So it's easy to see someone pointing out a problem, but we're quick to auto correct and say, oh, she's not talking about me. Oh, that doesn't apply to me. Oh, that's not me. I don't do that. I don't do that to you because there's no perfect friendship at all. So even if you think that your friendship is perfect, chances are there's something that you can improve. That's actually one of the first pieces of feedback that I received about this book. I received it from a woman that's near and dear to my heart. And she inboxed me on Facebook and she said, you know what? I thought that I was being a good friend until I read this book. Wow. Yes. That's just so touching. And we have so much more to cover, but you and I have discussed that this is part one. Yes. And we're going to do part two. Absolutely. And in two weeks. In two weeks. On a Thursday at the same time. Yes. Tisha, thank you so much for joining Sister Power. Thank you for having me. I'm excited for part two. I am as well. Thank you so much for having me, and I cannot wait to chat with you more. All right. All right, everyone. This is it, Sister Power. I'm Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. Oceans of Aloha, peace and love.

Okay, so my name is Tito from University of Oslo. I'm based in Nairobi and today we want to talk about things that people do after the installation. When you have a fresh install or do a VHS2 instance, maybe you are using tools or you're just following a guide doing your install. There are things that you would do to make sure that your resources are optimized to make sure that whatever you have on your post are being utilized by the apps that you have, the application components which includes Postgres and your web application. So I prepared a few slides just to walk us through what we have today and then after that we shall go to use one of the problems that I just created for demonstration purposes and a few problems that you might face and you've completed your installation but it's nothing is working. You're not able to access whatever you've deployed from your browser. So these are the slides that I prepared and it's going to check us through the tips and tricks, troubleshooting tips and tricks and post install things that you need to do. So I'm going to start the slideshow. Are you able to see my screen? You can see the screen, it's okay. Okay, okay, okay. Thank you. So what's the problem? What's the reason why we are having this conversation today? And it's because normal installations, maybe we're using tools we have at our disposal. Maybe you're just following the installation guide and you're building those components one by one. And by default, the resources that you have are not or the apps that you deploy are not optimized to use. The defaults are not like stretching to the resources that you have on your system. And once you've completed your installation, you need to tweak configuration files that allows your app components to use whatever application or other server resources that you have. And then another section is you've done your installation but nothing works. You put, you just access your URL and you're not able to get anything. You're getting errors instead. So what are the tips and guidelines, troubleshooting guidelines that you need to deploy? Yes. So what are the categories into two that you need to do to tweak your app and optimize your apps and then troubleshooting now tips. Okay. So we have components that when you get your installation with the tools or if you're doing manually, you will not miss to have a database and Proxy and Tomcat. Proxy is going to be really your choice. You might choose to go with InginX or Apache 2. And then Tomcat is normally our standard install comes with Tomcat 9 instance. And then the database, which is of course Postgres Equal 13, as of this recording. So in our standard installation, we want to do an installation where it has all these components packaged. Of course, there's another component here that is not included on this slide, which is monitoring because then you want to again be able to get metrics about how your database is performing your Proxy and Tomcat. So that one is also included here. So when you get a server, which is normally an Ubuntu 1820 or 2204, you have a host resources that is CPU and memory. So you want to budget your total memory so that you give Postgres fair amount of your memory and then web application. And of course, you don't allocate applications all the memory and you get your host with nothing. So you budget your memory footprint so that the apps have fair amount and also the host. So we have Postgres and the web applications. Those are the main applications that we will talk about today and then the host. So normally, when you have say about an estimate of around 64 GB of memory, you want to and say you have two instances of Tomcat. So that means you have how many applications here to budget your memory. You have two web applications and one Postgres. So by convention, it's good to give your database even a larger share and then the remaining share you divide between your two web applications. So if you have, for instance, 64 GB of RAM, then you want to ensure that your Postgres has about 32 GB and then your other two web application is say HB, HB, H or 1010 and then you want to leave some amount of memory to your host also. A normal operation of your operating system needs some memory. So you want to leave some amount. So next slide is really talking about Postgres SQL database, you know, that you have now given your Postgres some storage. Do you have a question? Okay. So you have allocated your Postgres SQL database some storage. So you need also to tweak Postgres SQL configuration. And these are the settings that you need to set generally because today I'm not talking about, you know, Postgres SQL configuration extensively because that needs a whole session on its own. It has a lot of things that you can play around with. But then I want to talk about four main components that are even mentioned in our install scripts guideline. And one of them is the shared buffers. And out of the total amount of memory that you've allocated to your Postgres SQL instance, you want to give a quarter, 0.25% of the total amount of memory that you have. And then if you have, say, 32 GB, then that is going to be about, I think, 88 GB storage. And then work memory is normally calculated total amount of work memory that you want to give your configure in your Postgres SQL. It's going to be a factor of connections that you have opened on your Postgres SQL configurations. So if you want to calculate total amount of work memory that it's going to be at the end of the day is by multiplying work memory value plus maximum number of connections. And if 42 GB you can do 10 MB and then you can multiply that by factor of maximum number of connections that your system will be supporting. And then there is maintenance work memory. And that is normally, you want to normally utilize when you run your analytics and you want to at least give your system, give your Postgres a good amount of work memory. And then there is effective cashier, which is now going to be utilized for caching, Postgres SQL caching purposes. Any question up to that point? I don't think that it should be a question. You are basically the example that you've given already, you said 64 and you're giving 32. So basically the calculation that we're doing here for the Postgres, is it going to be based on the 32, not on the 64 GB? So this 64 GB is assuming that it's really for the Postgres. But then before that there's the budget first, which is going to, with a budget you will know which amount of memory will you allocate to Postgres. It's not necessarily, you know, this is really not the system storage, sorry, not system memory, but only what you've budgeted for Postgres. So if you're going to budget 64 GB for Postgres in your case, then that means your system has a lot more memory, even 128 or so. Okay? Yeah. Yeah, so, so um, yeah, I had a comment, I nearly forgot. Yeah, in terms of Postgres in particular, you know, with Tomcat you can kind of restrict how much memory it's going to use, because mostly it uses its heap, and you're probably going to show us this later, so you can set the maximum heap size. With Postgres, Postgres is greedy, right? And all of these settings that you tell it, is not going to prevent it from using as much memory as it can find. That's the way that it works. And particularly that effective cache sizing, it will just try to use however much memory it can see. So the really important thing with the Postgres, if you're using containers, and I know you haven't spoken about containers, but if you're using containers for your database, and it doesn't matter if it's LXD or it's Docker, you have to constrain that container. So you have to, when you create the container, you have to configure it to say, this container can only use 32 GB RAM. Then after that, you can do all of these settings. One of the things we've seen happen, if you don't constrain the container, Postgres can use, it'll use as much as it can, and sometimes then you try to start Tomcat. Tomcat will fail to start, because Postgres has already chewed all the memory. I was actually going to demonstrate that. And here we have, which has to deploy it within LXD containers. If we issue LXD list, we're going to see that we have Postgres here. And the Postgres here is, I guess, seeing all the available memory. If we check the memory that we have here, we have 64 GB. So let's execute into the container, Postgres container, and check the memory that we are able to see. So the memory that Postgres here is exposed is about 64 GB. And that means, as Bob mentioned, that it will be created and try to use all this memory that is available on its disposal. It will try to use all this available memory, which is much going to even use all the available system resources. So we want to limit this Postgres container, so that it only sees memory that is budgeted to it. So that is done by you issuing LXD limit command, which is LXD, config, and then container config set. That container name, which is in our case Postgres, and then memory, limit.memory. And then the amount of memory that you want to give that container. In this case, it's 32 GB. So that is going to limit your container, Postgres container in this case, so that it only sees this amount of memory. When we execute back into the container and check the available memory, we see that it only sees 32 GB right now. So even though it wants to be very greedy and it wants to use all the available memory, then it's only able to see up to 32 GB. That is what Bob was talking about. Is that clear? Yeah, that's clear. So next, what we want to talk about is also Tomcat. So when you've completed your installation, yeah, you want also to make sure that your Tomcat is able to use total amount of memory that is allocated to it. And that configuration parameter is in this file. Yeah, sorry, is in this file default Tomcat 9. So let's just quickly get to our install here and list containers. And here we have around six containers. The first two containers are posting our Tomcat instances. Let's just get the first one. Let's see, exec, the showers, and then bash. And then we just view that file, edit that file and see its content, which is its default Tomcat 9. So this is the file. And the file has configuration, java configuration parameters. And I guess line number what, sorry? Line number five is the line that you want to uncomment so that you can tweak your memory that your application is going to be using. So get to that line and then out of the available memory, the budgets that you have set for your Tomcat instance, then you can change here. You can change these parameters to the amount of memory that you want to set, say, HGB. And then after that, you want to reload your restart your Tomcat instance with system ctl, system ctl, comma. I don't know if restart, reload will apply configuration, but you can restart the Tomcat instance. So that will apply your changes so that if you say, check that process, you will see your configuration changes. That is HGB here. And so your running instance is using that amount of memory that you wanted to see. So the other parameters here that I can talk about, like the last one here, about line number 26, this is for application monitoring. It's a chloride plug-in that when you want to enable your chloride monitoring, you will uncomment this line. Of course, you will need to have your chloride package extracted into this directly so that it will now be monitoring your instance. Of course, there are the configuration parameters here that I guess we are not going to talk about all of them today. These are called on its own. And then there's another file, which is opt DHS2, which is instance configuration file. This is just an environment configuration file for the Tomcat. But then there are configuration files that are specific to the DHS2 instance. And they are all on this file by default. So we want to see how that file looks like. It's seen opt DHS2, DHS.com file. So this is the file. And on the top, we have these lines that are uncommented. This is the standard install. This is the default that comes when you do your installation. However, there are things that you want to change later on to suit your environment. Like for instance here, we have connection pool maximum size. Sometimes you might want to, in a very, very busy system, you want to increase this number. And this number needs to be really in compliance with the number, with the maximum connection allowed on the post-recipement database. Yeah. And even much more configuration options that you can tweak and enable other features that you want to see your installation to be supporting. Yeah. So the standard install will come with these four uncommented or enable settings. Of course, there's database password. This is just a demo instance and it's not production. And these are going to be on this. Hello, Tigo. Yes. Yeah. I think this is very good. Yeah. I have one question. It's Lamin from Gambia. Will it be possible like some of these things, like this comment, it may be like those things which are needed, like to put them in your presentation so that if anybody do the installation, you know that these are the things you really need to comment. And these are the things you need to do as part of your presentation. Yeah. So this comes with the standard install of the H2 with the tools. And normally, these configurations that you see and commented here are sufficient enough. You don't need to really touch anything else here. And this, if you're using automated install, you don't touch this file. It's going to happen on your behalf. Otherwise, really what you need to change is the first defaults that I showed you that you need to tweak these to suit your cyber memory availability. Otherwise, the other details to configuration file, you don't need to really touch that unless you have a special need for your installation. Yeah. It might be worth, we have a two hour session planned in the upcoming server academy just on the dhs.com file, all of the options which are in there. So I mean, we try to make sure that one gets recorded, I think. But yeah, as Tito says, it's those first couple of lines which are the essentials that you need mostly around your database connection. Yeah. So those are the tunings that you need to tweak after the installation is completed, at least on the side of Tomcat. And then we go to proxy. Sometimes you have your application deployed on slash dot application name directory. And even general last time when he was testing the tools wanted to really access the app from the root without appending the application name. So that is something that is come most of the times and the tools do set up the install, but it doesn't do redirects by default. So he wants to come back later and gets to the proxy configuration, which can be in the next or a party to the line is there, but not at least not enabled. It's commented out. So you need to get to them. The proxy configuration gets to the line that you need to uncomment. And I will demonstrate that on this call, at least for for the next proxy that we have running right now. So the site that we have is BHIRs.com and it's returning empty response. If you just get to the root direct, you don't append application name. It's appending. Like you don't put a font slash application name. It's empty response. The reason why it's returning empty response. Let me just get to them. The root cause of that is that let's get to the proxy. This is the main configuration file. And the reason we are getting empty response is this, that anything that is not matching, it's not matching the application name that you want to access is it was going to return a 444. So the 444 that is there is this really, this is its empty response 444. However, you could instead of returning an empty response, I could maybe change the tool so that we get the default engine next, the default engine next site static site that normally you get with the installation of engine next or static site that you normally get with the Apache to install. But then the line that I wanted to talk about is this rewrite, rewrite line. So you want to recommend this. That means whenever you access the root domain, it will be rewritten and redirected to HMI. Of course, you need to have, this needs to match with the app that you have in your system. Yeah, so pseudo or let's say system CTL reload the next. It's 15. So that means whenever you access this, it's going to be redirected to default application like you've seen right now. Yeah, so that is another thing that you can tweak on the proxy after the installation. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I have a question. So that was the what file name, which you have recently uncommented? It's the main file for engine next. It's in the next directory, you see? No, yeah, I can see it. But in the configuration file, you have uncommented rewrite line there and slash HMIS. So HMIS is our bar file name, right? It's the application name. We will list them. It's the Tomcat application name. Let's get out of this container and you see we have HMIS and we have DHS. So that means every request that comes to this server are redirected to HMIS. However, if you want to access our DHS, that means you need to append on your browser DHS, you see? For you to be able to Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine. Got it. Yeah, something like that. Understood? Yeah. Okay, so that's one. And then number two is monitoring tools, one of which is Muneen. Muneen is we use to monitor our instances, which can be servers, depending on the install that approach that you took or containers or the host, you know? And normally default install is not is leaving Muneen exposed. Empty response, Muneen spelling errors. There you see. So that means you're not supplying username and passwords for you to get to this Muneen. So what we've done for that, we are using basic authentication on the on the on the engine next level, or rather the proxy level. And on this call, I'm going to demonstrate how you're going to enable at least basic authentication for them for them for the Muneen. And these are the steps. Of course, you're going to need a patch to your tools, and then generate the password, and then edit Muneen location configuration, and then enable that basic authentication. We're going to run through that quickly. And on the same server, we have proxy, that's why you're going to do your, you're going to enable your basic authentication. So you need to execute into that proxy, and let's see except proxy, then bash. And then you need to install this package, which is Apache to your tools. App install, Apache to your tools. Yeah, they're already installed. I have installed. And then you want to generate the password with this, this line here. Just find the command industry. Yeah, with this. So this is going to be a password, and then where you're going to start to store your password, and then which user are you going to generate, going to generate password for. You can choose username that you want. And for this call, we're going to go for admin, and then it's going to ask you for the password for that user. I'm going to just put admin. So that's, it's generated the password for user admin and the password is the same. So and then after that, you want to edit location configuration for muning, because it's muning that it's actually exposed to the it's without password. So normally with the standard installed, we have all in the next configuration file within, within a conflict directory. And here we have main configuration file and then upstream configuration files. Let's get into the upstream and see what we have there. We have the HH2 configuration. And let's just see what we have here. Here we have the HH2 for two different instances that we have here. And then the file that is of our interest here is muning. And at the very end here, you add the two lines. You add the two lines, which is all basic. And then you want to get, to add some lines here, say basic. And then out, out basic, out basic user file, where you're going to have your, your password. User and that file is in our case, et cetera. HH2 password. HH2, HH2 password. Yeah. And then you want to add those and then check your engineers configuration if they are valid. And then you load pseudo service or system. And now let's try accessing our muning on the new InvoVnito window. Now it's going to request for username and password. Those are the ones that we just configured. And if we supply admin, default admin, then it's going to take us through the muning. But at least now, you will not get to access this site without credentials. Please, we're monitoring endpoint without credentials. Question? I have a question. Yes. What is the effort of having password to muning? Is it a security trade or what? Like, what is the main reason of having password to muning? Like you can see right now here, your resources, resources that you have on your infrastructure, that is Postgres, Apache, everything is just exposed to the internet. Whoever has this link can log in and they can, they can like, they can see what you have already. They can get much, much more information about how your system is set up. And it's not good for security. You need to hide your stuff. You just don't leave them to the public so that they can in a snapshot know what you have, which one can be their next, they can, you know, they have a lot of information that they are not required to have, I think. So you need to at least, and you don't want to open this to the public. This is private to your infrastructure. You don't want everybody to be able to access these endpoints. It needs to be really secured. Okay, this is good. What for the night? It means that we have installed muning in our systems, which means that we need to do this, but it will be also important maybe like to have a demo, like someone who has muning, how you can just enter into his system without no password. Maybe like next Tuesday or after that we can try to look into that. Okay, okay. That would be interesting. Yeah. And also most of our installation is being done using Apache. I see you're using Internet. I know basically the procedure will not be the same. Probably before sending the slide, you might just need to add the same for Apache and then you send the slide so that we can protect it. I never knew that the muning exposes the information, but I don't know that someone can take this information to hot the system. So we need to actually protect our systems now. Yeah. Yeah. So when you've actually mentioned about Apache 2, last time when I demonstrated the tools, I had not developed support for Apache 2, but right now with the latest push, you can pull latest in source scripts and it supports Apache 2. So you would need to really change one configuration directive from engine X and put it to change it to Apache 2, like you had done general before, but it was not working. Right now it's working. Yeah. So yeah, next is really backup. So backup plan is not a cost-installed thing. You need to really plan for your backup even prior to starting your installation. You need to know a few things like which backup policy are you going to, retention policy are you going to use, which upside backup are you going to push your dumps to. And also for instance, yeah, those things, the details about backup and scripts and all those kind of stuff, it's something that you need to really plan even before you start your installation. Something that you just do as a post is maybe testing your backups. You've had your system up and running and you want to test and see if your backup script is doing its work. And number two, can you kind of restore your backup in a fresh environment and is it working? Something like that. That's something that you do after the installation, just to make sure that your backups are working and test that your restore are working. Otherwise, planning for the backup is something that you do before you start installation. And all the bar scripts that we have before the DHS2 tools have backup scripts, which I'm still on process to put into the Ansible scripts that we have. Question? I have one question. Okay, Gerard, you can come first. Okay, so my interests have been always with this because though we are saying we're using open source, but we have been at a greater disadvantage when it comes to cloud hosting. And so backup is very necessary. So one of the things that I am peculiar about is actually the backup at off-site. But then there was this project where I always have in mind, where once you backup the off-site, how do we like replicate the system? It just automatically replicates itself on the system. Maybe there is a script that does drop the database and deploy the new backup that you've already done, which is the backup testing. And then we start the local instance, and then it works. So that was one thing that I've already, I always take to the system administration training. But it's something that I think all of us should collaborate in order for us to have a one script that can do all of this process, do the backup from online for the cloud hosting solution to a local instance. And then on the local instance, you can drop the database and rewrite the new or upload the new backup. And then we start that instance. Because sometimes we lose data because we don't have resources to make those payments and all the rest of it. So it had been a challenge actually when it comes to this part of Africa. Maybe I can comment on that. Broadly, I would say that backup is also something that is, you know, we can broadly classify into two main steps. One is making the backup on your host. Just making a dump of your running instance database. And then number two is now storing that backup in a place that is safe, which in this case is remote site. So the script that we're talking about needs to be able to do these two components. One is it needs to be able to make a backup on your host and then push that backup on a place that is safe off site. So we have scripts that does backup. The scripts that were developed by Bob was doing backup and pushing using tools like Arsync to another remote site that you want to push your backups to. And we also, we could also, you know, push to S3 endpoints. And S3 is on cloud environments of your choice. And normally we normally go for, I think, Linux S3, but major cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud have S3 endpoints, which you could also push your backups to. But that everything that I'm just talking about needs to be automated in a way. Of course, backup policy is retention policy is how many copies do you want to retain, daily copies do you want to retain, and how many weekly copies do you want to retain or even monthly copies? Do you want to retain or backup in your off site environment? Next question. Hello. Yes. Yes, I also wanted to ask, like Gerard said, these backup things, because for us, even here, we are doing backup in the same systems, in the same Linux. So we're trying to find a way whereby we can do backup off site so that in case that there's something wrong with our primary instances, then the other one will just pick up automatically. And it will be like a replicate of the same backup things that works. Because we are doing backup in the same instance. Yeah, because if you have a backup on the same system, assume that same system is compromised. Yes. Then your backup is not useful anymore. It's not useful. Yeah. It's like shooting yourself in your leg. No, we need a suit. Let's suit. So where we could talk about off site backup approaches that you could employ. And I've talked about S3. And you could also have another server sitting somewhere else, just procure a server sitting on another data center or another cloud environment. Then you just, you have a set station because Arsinki is using a set behind the scenes and push your backups to that instance. Yeah. Okay. We've done the presentations, but then I just had something for us today, which is having this site, which I've actually, I deployed DHS2 on this endpoint, but it's not accessible. I just brought it deliberately for us to have a discussion about. And when I'm doing table shooting normally, the approach that I use is follow the packet from my clients, from my Chrome browser or Safari or Firefox. Your traffic goes through the internet, through the proxy that you're using, which can be part two or the next. And then from there, it's routed to the backend application that serves your request. And depending on what you're doing, if you're retrieving data, then it reads data from the database and it gets back to you. Or if you're posting something, it depends on what you're doing really. So this is also a guideline for the table shooting that you can follow that I have an installation. So you can just segment into steps starting from your browser and then get to the network, which is the internet, and then to the proxy from the proxy back to the your app and then finally to the database. So this site that you see here, which is this domain, is not accessible. And as you can see here, we put it's getty.com-load. Just put m, it has m. Yeah, you see, this is saying that the site can be reached. It's not accessible. It's different from the one that I had before. Maybe let's just delete m there and see. This is DNS BROC. DNS BROC possible. That means for this one, even this domain does not exist. It's a DNS issue. So that gets back to post-installed troubleshooting guide that you need to have a domain that dissolves to your server's public IP address. So because you can see even from the errors that we get from the browser here that this is giving us a different kind of feedback that DNS BROC possible. It's a problem of DNS. This is not dissolving to any public IP address or rather any server's IP address. And you can also test on the terminal using tools that are available like nslookup puts the DNS here. And as you can see, it is not finding IP address for that. However, this other sites that I just broke is really resolving to public IP address, as you can see. But again, it's not accessible. Even if I put here m, just to complete the thing is that it's not accessible. So that means, first of all, you've seen that it's resolving to public IP address. That is checked. But then are you able to reach that server? So you could use tools like Ping. If your server is exposing ICMP packets, it's enabling ICMP packets. However, this is not to say that if you don't receive any equal replies that the server is down now. Sometimes even on the firewall level, ICMB is disabled. But for this, for our case, it's enabled and we're able to even think that server. And we've seen that we are able to get to the DNS is resolving to that server's IP address. But we are not able to access on the browser. So we've checked the first part that our browser is okay. The internet is okay. We are able to ping our server. Now, the problem could be lying on the proxy that we have running on that server, which is in the next. So you could access that server. And just to make things easy, I had access into the server and we can list the containers that we have here. And we have proxy. We have proxy here. So, of course, the proxy is up. The container is deployed, but we are getting nothing. So one of the things that you can do is try connecting to proxy. Our proxy normally is exposing two ports, 80 and 443. Try connecting to those ports. And you could use tools like TenNet. TenNet. Your servers are public IP address and then the ports that normally we are exposing on the proxy. And as you can see, we are unable to connect. Even 443, we are unable to connect. So that means our proxy is having a problem. It could be the host firewall or the proxy itself not even listening or the service is not up. So we've gotten to the server, which is this one. And we're seeing the proxies here. So you can execute into the proxy with LXC accept. And you want to see, you want to check if your proxy is listening or the service. Proxy service is listening on the network. You could use tools like SS, PANMP. And here you see that we have nothing listening on port, 80 or 443. We have nothing completely. So that means our proxy service here is not listening. And you could check even the firewall here. That's another thing that you need to always check. Check UFW status. And when we check the firewall, we see that it's listening on port 80 and then the ports traffic are not filtered on those two ports. They are just open. But then we have the real issue here is that we don't have service here. We don't have service listening on that port 80 or 443. So you could say service systems tell, depending on your proxy of choice status in the next. We see that in the next service is not running. Here I have used in the next, but it's not running. So it's not running. And let's try starting it. System CTL. But we are getting errors. It's not coming up. We are getting errors. And they are actually here we have an error. And normally most of in the next errors are related to the configurations that you have. And you can check configuration syntax within the next dash t. That is going to give you where the problem is normally. And in this case, it's on line five. So you need to edit this file and see where the problem is. And in our case, I think it's not terminated only. So you can edit this file with the editor of your choice and then line five. There's a line here that is not line five. Yeah, here it is. It's here. It needs to be terminated with semicolon. Yeah. And that was the problem. Why our next was not, for example, running. So after that, you need to start your service service or system CTL. Or you could check even directly if it's passing fast, configuration with it's passing. And now in the next minus t, you see that it's okay. It's not, it's no longer giving us this error. And you can now start your in the next system, in the next, and it is started. So let's check if now we can see port 80 and 443 on SS command. And for sure, we are seeing port 80 and 443, they are listening on the network. Even when you get back to your clients, whatever you are accessing from and turn left 443, you're seeing that we are now able to connect. This is now going to tell us that when our proxy is okay, it's accepting connections on 443 or even port 80. You can test the two and you see we are able to connect to the two comfortably. So that means we've checked this part that our proxy is now okay. It's listening for port 80 and 443 over the internet. So are we now able to access our site? Let's reload. No, we are getting M2 response. So this is now the 443, remember the 444 error that we talked about when you do not redirect your traffic to, you know, this is just root. So, but it's not where your app is listening on. If you issue LXC list here on the host, your app is listening on DHIS and, you know, endpoints. So this is the error that we just talked about before. It's 444 error that when you had not, you have not redirected your traffic to return to minimize your whatever your application endpoint is, you get an empty response. But let's put the name of our app there, which is DHIS. You are getting bad gateway. This is another error now. It means that our next proxy is accessible. It's trying to pass our request to the backend application, but, you know, it's not, it's bad gateway. Our app is not responding. So let's get back to our install again. LXC, but then the app is DHIS. It's here, but proxy is not able to access that application. So we might say, let's execute into the proxy and try pinging, try pinging our application, which is DHIS, just to make sure that the network is okay and we're able to ping. You see, we are able to ping. But then what port is our application listening on? Normally it's port 8080. You know, you could even turn it here. Standard Ubuntu container install comes with a 10 net client. You could even turn it, your servers, your apps IP address on port 8080 and see 10 net spelling. I'm sorry. It's not able to connect. So that tells you that you have installation here, but then it's not listening also the same case. It's not listening on the network. And then one of the reasons why it's not listening is that maybe your Tomcat service is not running or number two, your app didn't complete startup process and many, many other reasons. Yeah. So you need to execute into the container, which is in our case proxy, I'm sorry, it's in our case is DHIS and see what's happening there. Normally you can check the logs, the Tomcat logs, but first thing that you could check is firewall. Do we have firewall running here? Yes, we do. But then our firewall is allowing connection from our proxy. So that is not the issue really, because our proxy is 2.2 and it's open. This entry here is open. Yeah. Any question up to that point? Hello? No, I don't think there is a question now you can continue. Yeah. So that means our requests are getting to the proxy, which is this container here, but from this container, they are not getting to the backend application. And we've seen firewall is okay, but do we have anything listening? Let's check what's listening on the network, because you could have firewall exposed opening that port of ours, 8080, but nothing is listening on that endpoint. So we could use SSTanel PNC. Indeed, there's no service listening on port, port 8080. So that means our Tomcat service is not is not running. So you could say PS out and then you grab Tomcat for that matter. And of course here, there's nothing listening on that endpoint. So what could make our Tomcat note? Do we do? Sorry. I'm going to have to leave you. I know it's, but if you are happy and if there's still people happy to carry on, I think feel free. Okay. Okay. Hello. Sorry. But before you leave, hello. Yes, let me. I have one suggestion, because this is very good and it's really helpful. Like maybe if we can have like every Tuesday, if you can have like 10 minutes or 15 minutes added on top of this, so that the issues people are addressing in the telegram group to see how best we can resolve those one, because many people will report their problems. And it's another way why we can try to see if this is the solution to their problem, then we can have a documentation to avoid such problems again. Okay. That's my suggestion. To your suggestion, we have, we have 10 minutes allocated for this call. It's not a particular user's questions. Corrections, yeah. They normally send to the telegram group and to find a solution to that. For the benefit of orders in case it happens again. Okay. Yeah. No, we can look into doing that. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Yeah. I'm just a bit reluctant. I mean, to just restrict it to the telegram group, because not everybody is on that. But for sure, yeah, we can take questions from there. Any other questions if people have a particular question, they can send it directly to, or we might also look at the community of practice data, the community. So what new posts have there been this last week, for example? And see if we can make any comment on those. No, good idea. All right. I'm going to have to love you and leave you. But I'm sure Tito, you can carry on. Yeah. I'm going to make it summarized in a very few minutes, so that we can have this decide at least accessible quickly. So what you normally do here is that you want to start your Tomcat instant and see what happens. Maybe you can follow logs and see what really happens with a system. It's bundled into simple system B service. So you do system CTL, start Tomcat 9, and then you might want to follow the logs with general CTL minus follow unit Tomcat 9. Yeah. Yes. So this is going to start your Tomcat. And at the same time, you're going to see on the login what's really happening. Normally, if you have connection errors to the database, you just have to see here why your Tomcat instance was not coming, you will get to know where the problem lies. But to shorten this demonstration, there was no really a problem why this Tomcat was was not running. It was just because I had shut down the instance. But then normally, it could be related to instance connection to the database, un-upgrade, gone wrong, things like those ones. So you will see on the logs that runs through here where the problem is exactly. So yeah. So once this instance is started, we will be able to again access this site from the internet. But then it will have checked at least four of these diesel components that we make make sure that our client is OK. The network is good. DNS is resolving. And then number two, the proxy is not the problem. And the web application is not the problem. But the problem would also even be lying on the database about the firewall blocking access from the instance about the database configuration files that has entries for BGHB configurations. Because on that file, it's where you configure maybe application user and the password and where it's connecting from. It could be the reason why you're not able to access this because of that file. So we will go up to this point. And I guess after that, we will have our service up and running. Any question after that when the app is coming up? Yes. Thank you so much for this meeting. It was a great meet. Is there any way to download these recorded video I can see later? Well, yeah. Normally when we have completed this presentation and then it's pre-recorded. And we normally upload this to YouTube channel. And if you want to follow even all previous recording you will find in that channel. So after a day or two, we will have all these recording uploaded to the YouTube channel. Okay. So can you please send me the link of the YouTube channel so that I can see? Okay. And the channel has a lot of other things that you might even be interested in following. So let's see after this application comes up, we should be able to access this site. It would not give us five or two bad gateway anymore. It will be accessible, but takes a while for the app to come up. Yeah. I guess that wraps up what we had today. But we can just wait and see what we can get after the app comes up. Just to mention also is that all these apps that we are demonstrating with right now are actually installed with the automated Ansible tools. DHS to server tools. So yeah, mostly you would not, you see that the app is now accessible. So the problem was there. But then as I mentioned, it could be somewhere else. It could be on the database. Maybe if we have a call session that is really dedicated to troubleshooting, we might explore all the possible problems that we might encounter. But for the automated install, normally you would not get these problems. They will be fixed. However, in some situations where people are not using the tools, maybe it's not suiting their deploy architecture. And they also deploy DHS to each and every component separately. Then that means this is going to be helpful for them. Yeah. So right now the app is started and it's pretty much accessible from the internet. Next slide is just for questions if there's any question. Otherwise we are actually on top of the hour. We are even past the hour. Yeah. Do we have any questions? I don't want to say it. I have a question. I will just say thank you. I think with reference to the backup, I think we've already put a hold to that. Probably it might be part of the next session that we're going to have. And pretty much what we're going to do in Rwanda. So I was to put that as a pending action for me. But then this is good and it creates a lot of awareness. It's something that you have to have the love in order for you to go through the processes. And for me, I spend most of my time doing what you're currently doing, fixing problems, identifying problems. And that is how I learned as fast as I could. So this is just an addition to the package and I appreciate it more. And it's something that I want to keep moving forward. So I wanted to say that things that I just talked about right now, we have not gone really deep into, because each and every component here could be its own topic. When you talk about Postgres tuning, it can be its own session. When you talk about in GNEX or whatever, it can be a whole complete two-hour session. So these topics are going to be deep-dived in Rwanda. You're going to have each and every session talking about one topic, extensive. Otherwise, we can just finish at that point for today's call. And thank you, everyone, for joining. Yeah, thank you so much.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Welcome to the Stockswish Show Market Review of the Spy. Do you like to look at the market usually in a weekend, whether it's a Saturday or Sunday, to take a look and see what the market did for the prior week? And also it helps me look at things very clearly sometimes when I'm looking on the weekend. I've had a day off or a few hours that I haven't looked at anything, haven't looked at the market, haven't thought at all about stocks and feel very rested. And of course, everything's flat right now. Sometimes when you look at things like that, it gives you a nice clean picture of where we are right now and where we're headed. So I'm going to take a look here at the Spy. We're going to break out this week. Okay, that's the call. I mean, this is setting up to break out higher this coming week. We could even do it on Monday. I don't know if we actually do it on Monday or not. I have to see where we got. Jeez, we're going to, here, if we gap up, we're doing it Monday. We're just going to, we could even do it in the gap up in Monday morning pre-market. We could even break out in the gap. We could break out in a gap up pre-market Monday morning. Or we gap neutral tomorrow morning on Monday, rally on the day, break over the high. Or we gap down in a hold, still bullish. Or we rest another day neutral slash bullish before we break higher. There's no set up here that looks bearish at all. There's nothing that this market could do this coming week that is going to look bearish. There it is. I just said that's the call. Anything this market is going to do this week is going to be bullish. Meaning, even if we gap down, it's not a short. So there you have it. And I pretty much had the same thing about this over here. Don't expect this to go anywhere. And it was the week of the holiday. Yeah, it was the week of the holiday. And I said to everyone in the trading room, I didn't trade Thanksgiving week. I said, you know, don't, don't expect the market to pull in. And I, I don't know if anyone paid any attention to what I'm saying, but let's just record myself every morning to the room and, and play back the same thing I say every day. Market is bullish. Boom. That's it. Market's higher. Next target in the spy is 210. Could have gotten there Friday. Didn't could get there in a gap pre market Monday morning. Could get there in the live training day Monday. We will hit the number of 210 this week to 12 as possible this week even. So let's just take a look at it. So I call all of this to go long in here. Back at the channel videos down in here as well. We broke a little bit harder in here than I anticipated, but the cues actually did exactly what I thought. And the reason the cues in the spy didn't match up quite neck for neck at this point in here when this drop off was happening was because the spy had made a larger client all of 2013 that was moving faster than the cues and the cues just need to catch up a little bit. And then that happened here. Everything is in conjunction with each other and both the cue cues and the spies. So now you're getting the same kind of look with everything. So the markets higher and all in here there's been nothing but videos and emails and all kinds of stuff really since September. It's hard to believe that's been three months now that people have been calling the market to crash. And what's even more hard to believe is that people are still calling the market to crash. In fact, they're calling it to crash now more than ever. Why? Because of the extension that we have here where the market continues to rally. But I'm not reading this as extended because it's not. And an extension is nothing to play into. There's no strategy behind anything there. This is actually all new buying that's coming into the market. New buying, new money is coming to the market, therefore it will not be sold out off of immediately. You do not take a position if you're an institution into something and invest money and pull it right back out. That wouldn't make any sense. It's very costly, very, very, very costly. There's commitments that are made when institutions purchase something. Now, I'm not saying that people don't dump stocks sometimes. I'm not saying that at all. I'm talking about institutional positioning and stocks in the market. When they make a choice to do something, it is a commitment. It is a commitment of what is called power money and it's real. It's a commitment. Think of it as a marriage. You're committing yourself to someone or something or a trade or a belief system that the market or stock or company is higher. You're committed. Therefore, if this is new money in the market, if I'm reading it correctly, which I am, and I know that I am because I'm reading gaps correctly because I know how to read gaps. And that's how I'm reading that what this is happening here is actually a start of a new move here. It's already started. It's already underway. It's not the end of a move. It's the beginning of a move. But anyways, when there's a commitment of new money coming into something, when institutions do it, they're not going to turn around and reverse back at it immediately. It's just, that's not how the system works, just does not work that way. And the difference is that many people here don't know how to read what is actually happening in the price action to know that this is new money, not an extended move of that's going to reverse. So this is new purchase money that's coming into the market, a new flow of equity that's coming in. It is not the end of a move. It is the beginning of a move here. And this is why this is such a great call that I'm making. And then I'm telling pretty much everyone that I meet, everyone that I see, everyone that I know that I care about who has money in the market to think because there's a lot of stuff that's out there that is completely erroneous and incorrect about how to read what's happening here. And I have been accurate in my market call for the entire year of 2014 and passed if you trail back from 2013. And my calls here are getting better because I'm calling numbers in this market to hit that it hasn't hit yet. And then it keeps hitting everyone. I called 208 to be hit that was hit on Friday. I called all of these numbers. Everything that the market has hit so far here, I've called it to hit these numbers. And the spies never hit these numbers ever in its life before. So take it for what it's worth. New money coming in is lifting the market. And it is the gaps that are creating the momentum and strength to lift it higher. The gaps are money coming in to create the gap in the first place to lift the market. And it's holding because of the fact that it is new buying. Now this doesn't mean that we go up one straight line in a row for the rest of our lives. That's not what this means here. But it certainly does mean that what I see setting up here for this week, just going one day at a time here into this coming week, December 8th is Monday, market looks for all intents and purposes like it is going to break out higher this week. And I'm waiting for some big huge monster green bar to set up in here that has not happened. And actually really never even happened in here because this isn't the type of thing I'm looking for for what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a massive green bar. And I don't know if that sets up this week. The market is setting up to have a massive, massive, solid green day of beautiful buying between now and the end of the year. I just don't know exactly when that is going to happen. It could be this week though. It happens, I'm just throwing it out there. It could happen this week. Every time I look at this market, I'm reminded how strong it is. I don't even want to say I'm shocked anymore, but I'm happily surprised how beautiful and gorgeous it's looking and how perfect it is. This is a perfect, perfect, perfect bullish market. And if you don't know what that looks like, then that's a reason to take my class and learn from you because you got to know what strength looks like. You got to know what new money looks like because if you're shorting against new money that's buying the market, this institutional money, you are destined to lose. You will lose. You absolutely, with a shot of a doubt, will lose if you're shorting against that. There's no way to win. There's no way to win against that. You cannot be against what institutions are doing in the market. You'll lose. And even if one time you end up making money, in the end, you will give that back and weigh, weigh more because institutions make the market. They're making this market right now. They've set the tone. The tone was set a long time ago, actually. The tone was set years ago. Okay. But this is like a new tone that is just was being set in here in the last few months. And I saw it. I saw it before it happened. I'm seeing this writing even here now. Market is going to rally all of 2015. Market is going to rally the entire year of bullishly of 2015. 2015 is going to get out in history as the most bullish market the stock market's probably ever had. Actually, now that I'm yeah, that just came to me now. 2015 is going to go down in history in the US stock market as the biggest rally and the biggest move the stock market has ever made. Since we've had all this electronic trading that you can track how the market moves and 2015 is going to go down as one of, if not the most biggest bullish years of stock market will ever have had ever since its existence. There I just, I just realized it. That's pretty something here because I'm calling that I'm calling the beginning of this here of a placement not really the beginning of the whole thing, but the beginning of what I'm seeing is the real opportunity really real opportunity for people if you listen to what I'm saying and if you know how to do what I know if you've already taken my class then you know this because you rate the gaps and when you rate a gap it tells you per the rating system whether or not it's an institutional positioning and this is whether it's short or long. Okay, so that's how I can read a bearish gap down something like this and know that it's not institutions selling out of the market that's not going to go anywhere. So that's also I wouldn't shoot this. Do you get it? Whereas I might buy a bullish gap in the market if it rates high enough over 20 points per my 26 point rating system. So the rating system that I created for myself that I now teach people in a class okay tells me whether or not an institution is taking a position long or short. That's how I know whether they're going to sell it, short it, or buy it and and if it's neither one then you just lay off of it. You wouldn't do anything. It doesn't mean you flip it either. Okay, it's about a hundred percent conviction and boy I I have a hundred percent conviction no chance of failure that the market is higher of the entire year of 2015 unless something drastic happens which I don't see setting up and if it would I'd see it in the live moment in a gap and I don't see that setting up and I'm seeing the entire year going to play out this way and what's going to continue to make it grind higher and rally is new money coming in. Traders who don't know what they're doing continue to short the reversal of the market or what they think is extended because they don't know what to do and people selling out of positions in the market that are not major players because they're scared, panicked, fear, what they're reading out there about people saying the market's going to crash and and that's why you got to learn what to do and I don't care if you trade or not. If you have any money invested in the market even if someone else is investing it for you they're making decisions for you they're giving you advice but you you alone are responsible for the investment decisions that you make even if you gave someone else your money to trade it for you or do something you got to watch over that you cannot leave it to chance or someone else you have to make decisions for yourself and know what to do and even if you don't want to sit and actively trade live every day if you have a lot of money invested in the market with someone else you still need to look at this and know what to do because that person is probably advising you right now to sell sell out of your long sell out of this market this is a beautiful rally you're up sell out and if you don't know how to read this and you don't know how to read charts and you don't know how to read price action you might take that person's advice thinking that they know everything but the reality is that most people that even invest money our stockbrokers traders most people that are out there do not know what they're doing because if it weren't that way then the people that do know what they're doing wouldn't make so much money that it's ridiculous okay the very essence and the makeup of the stock market is that most people do not know what they're doing and very few people do and that is why i am so i'm grateful and lucky that i'm one of the very few people on the planet that know how to trade the market well not only do i know how to trade well in live time i could predict things that happen in the future and the way that i know how to do that is gap trading and a sixth sense about how to reprice action movement to tell what is actually happening the stock based on institutional positioning and what taught me that though is gaps and it's trading gaps for six solid years and there's less than one percent of the people on the planet that can do what i do so if you don't know what to do even if you don't want to trade and you have money invested in the market in any significant amount you need to understand this so you can look at something and make a determination for yourself even to advise the person that has your money because they will probably talk to you out of selling out of this market thinking that it can't go any higher but it will and it is and it's going to and it's been and it's going to continue personal empowerment people whether you're doing it every day or not you have to be in charge of your own finances you cannot leave it to chance or someone else is about being responsible for your own money basically and that's really what it comes down to and i'm teaching people to do that so if you're interested in the next golden gap class it's december 13th and 14th next weekend actually last class of the year this is the last class i will be doing this year if you want to learn how to trade before 2015 to go into 2015 in january and train successfully this is the last class of chance you're going to get to do it so email me at melissa at the stockswish.com if you would like to sign up and again the market is bullish call for this week is higher breaking out higher to the next level 210 is within reach here in the spy and beyond and it's just really beautiful and i almost can't talk about it enough in the trading room every day i am breathless when i look at this to the point of ecstasy it is just the most amazing thing i've ever seen the most beautiful picture perfect thing that i've ever seen and so happy that i saw it quick enough to tell people in the swing trade letter that i saw it and in the room and one of the best calls that i've ever made to date however i will continue to make more incredible calls like this and beyond because i love the stock market and i'll trade forever so have a great day everyone and if you're interested in signing up for the class email me at melissa at the stockswish.com thanks

Hi, this is Professor Gerald Friedman, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and we're here today to talk about efficient market theory, which seems a little abstract for a course on the Great Recession, but bear with me. This is the theory that underlay the drive to deregulate financial markets. When we think about where the theory went wrong, we see directly where some of the financial crisis came from. So let's first talk about what we want out of financial markets, why we have financial markets, why we have financial intermediaries. And we can go back, if we want, because this is the way efficient market theory is derived, we can go back to Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe, some days, liked to work really hard. Some days, the fish were popping. There were lots of coconuts, there was a lot to do. And on those days, when he was feeling energetic, he might say to himself, I'm going to work hard today, so that tomorrow I can sleep late, build sand castles, and have a really relaxed, easy day. And during the days that I don't work hard, I will live off of the proceeds, the surplus from today. So today I'll work hard, and I'll put some of the coconuts I make today and some of the fish I catch today, I'll put them away, I'll call them savings. And I'll consume them tomorrow. That's the basic idea behind financial markets and investment decisions. Investments are things we do today to shift consumption into the future. So instead of consuming today, we consume tomorrow. The way we do that, the way we shift consumption over time is either by building up an inventory, putting more coconuts in the garage, making a big pile of fish in the freezer, or by investing in productive activities. So building a canoe so I can fish more efficiently tomorrow or building a ladder so I can get more coconuts. That's working today so I can consume in the future. That's the idea behind financial markets. What happens in financial markets is these are companies that organize the inter-temporal shift in consumption. Now if you think about Robinson Crusoe, you can get a sense of the problems of risk and uncertainty. Risk is the danger that what you do today will not lead to consumption tomorrow. For example, your fish may spoil. You put them in the freezer but the freezer broke down or a bear came and ate your fish. You had a lot of Chinese takeout, you put it in your refrigerator thinking you'll eat it tomorrow morning and instead your roommate shows up late at night with the munchies and boom, your food's gone. So there's risk in any inter-temporal activity. This risk comes from the danger that the activity you're doing may not work. There's also the risk that you may not be alive. You went to sleep thinking in the morning you'll wake up and have Chinese food for breakfast, you die overnight. That's too bad that Chinese food's wasted. Maybe there are other problems with that too. There's also the danger that you will change. You go to sleep thinking you like Chinese food, you wake up in the morning, you want pizza for breakfast. So there's risk. Now some of that risk can be calculated. We don't know what will happen in the future but the future's often kind of predictable to the extent that the risk is calculable. You will discount it. You figure there's a 5% chance that your roommate will eat your food so you discount the value of your food by 5%. So you put it away and you think there's only a 95% chance that this will actually be here tomorrow. So I would have liked the food but if there's only a 95% chance then I won't bother. Just eat it now. There's calculable risk but then there's uncertainty. Uncertainty is where you just don't know what's going to happen. You have no idea where your roommate is. You have no idea whether the power will fail. You think about invading another country. You have no idea whether they're going to welcome you with flowers and open arms or with IEDs and active guerrilla resistance. Who knows? Nobody knows. That's uncertainty. You may choose to discount uncertainty by even more. You may say, I'm not going to invade another country. No way. I have no idea what's going to happen too risky or too much uncertainty. Somebody else may say, I'm happy to take the risk. I'm happy to deal with the uncertainty. I love uncertainty. That's where you get financial intermediation and insurance. You have no idea whether you will have a heart attack or get cancer or get sick in some other way in the next year. If you did, it would be a really, really, really terrible thing. You want some protection against that. That's where you buy insurance. You buy health insurance. You give up a little money now because you want some protection in the uncertain chance that something really, really bad will happen in the future. Much of financial activity involves insurance. It starts out as intertemporal substitution consumed tomorrow save today. But in the process, much of what goes on in financial industries is actually insurance. We put our money in the bank, accepting that they're going to be keeping some of it for themselves on the idea that that will protect the money from being stolen. Why don't you leave your cash under your bed? Somebody may break in your house. A rat may come and eat the paper. All sorts of weird things can happen. So you put it in the bank. You know that the bank's going to be making lots of money on it, more money than they give you back. But still, that's a better deal for you because you are protected. You are buying an insurance policy that ensures you that a certain amount of your money will still be there. A lot of what we do in financial markets is involved in insurance. Now that leads to a final problem. Efficient market theory says that everything that goes on in financial markets has to do with providing intertemporal substitution and insurance efficiently. Meaning that consumers get what they want at the best possible price. The price being guaranteed and protected were protected against exploitation by competition among providers. If there are lots of banks out there, we will get the highest rate of return possible. If there's lots of insurance companies out there, we will get the best insurance rate possible. Otherwise, if somebody is making extra profits off us, then other companies will jump in, sell the products to us at a better price, so we will get a higher rate of return or a lower insurance premium until the point where everything is perfectly efficient and optimal. If anybody is taking advantage of us, competition will drive them out of business, assuring us of the best return that's possible. That's great in theory, but think about real financial markets. First of all, there is no competition. The New York Stock Exchange is a monopoly. There are a certain limited number of companies allowed to deal on the stock exchange. The Nasdaq and every other stock community, Beowulf, is all tangled up now. That said, there are also a limited number of banks. Only certain people can operate banks. Now, why do we have restrictions on these things? Why do we restrict the number of banks and the number of insurance companies? It's not only to maintain monopoly profits, although that's probably part of it, but the real reason is we don't trust everybody. How do you know if your bank is being honest? There's a whole giant problem of asymmetric information. Financial activities are complicated. I've tried to give you a 10-minute summary of what it's all about, but you get down to the basics. You get the small print, you get, who knows what's really going on? The only people who really know what's really going on are the people in the companies. They know more than we do about what they're doing with our money. We want regulators to come in and protect us. Otherwise, what happens? Banks and insurance companies are in a great opportunity to commit fraud, to take your money and then run with it, to embezzle in one form or another. If you have any questions about that, I suggest you Google Enron or Bernie Madoff, and there are many others. There's two that come right to mind, and you're talking about billions and billions of dollars embezzled or from smart people who you think would have known better. That's what happens in unregulated financial markets. We can't trust the efficient markets, we can't trust that financial markets will be efficient because they are inherently subject to asymmetric information in the transfer of assets from now to sometime in the future or in the provision of insurance. Next time, we'll talk about the housing bubble, well, deregulation, and then we'll talk about the housing bubble. Thank you, and have a nice day. Bye-bye.

You know it would be great. Okay, go. What? What would be good? I think you should do something like give a ghost on your cooking channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give a ghost pepper to your son. No. That'd be so funny. No. Yeah, it'd be great. I'd love to see that. I have thought about doing like a spice challenge on our channel, but... That's not a... But like you? I don't know. Because I would be out automatically. The f***. Halloping you. Hey, welcome back to our stupid or ecstasy in the subcorpon. I'm Rick. And you call us on Instagram. We have juicy content. They go on Patreon. It's so juicy. Personal YouTube channel. It's all in the description below. I mean, it would make for great content for sure. But I also don't like putting myself through pain. Right. Which is what happens when anything's spicy. Good mythical morning. You've watched them do their... Oh, it's so funny, but I don't know that I would ever want to experience that. Have you ever had a ghost pepper? No. I've hardly. I have. I have. I have. Not a whole thing, but I've sliced it. And it's not... It's not a level of heat. It's a measure of pain. Yeah. It's just how much pain you feel. I don't like it. Yeah. Today we're doing a little bit of an informational video. Great. It's about... God, I don't want to mispronounce the name. But... Sam Smith. What was wrong? That was really not that hard. Okay. It's the... Forgive me if I mispronounce this. Hadiswara Temple. In Tamil Nadu. In Tamil Nadu. It's ancient wonder of India. India. So I think it's just... Hadiswara Temple. This is just an informational video about this temple. Cool. So it's, I believe, the history channel's site. So I have a prediction. Yes. It'll be a British woman narrative. No. It wasn't even close. We've been to Tamil Nadu. A lot of birds. We've been to Tamil Nadu. A lot of birds. They're all... Yeah. That's all carved? Oh. Oh, thank you. They were trained in. Kind of like Egypt. Well, yeah, carried in. Wow. I was going to say, yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I was going to say, the base of the temple was wide. And the ground was green. That's true. That's true. How the freak did they get it up there? That's a big guy in the armhole. That's a big guy in the armhole. That's a big guy in the armhole. And she can stick it together. That's what she said. It's one of those things that obviously the first thing that strikes me is just the way they were able to carve all those beautiful... Yeah, just the hand carving. Just the hand carving is so impressive to me. Yeah, I agree. But under all that, it's the same thing that's so mind boggling about the pyramids, obviously. How the hell did you do this? Slays, as we know. Well, actually, I've heard theories, different theories. It was like their tax to work on the pyramids and stuff. In order to live there, they were... You had to do that? Do that as your payment. It was your payment, but... It was still... That's just a theory. There may only be unions back then for pity's sake. Anyways, but did he say they built an incline and took them six years to get it out? I guess that's what they're theorizing. They're theorizing based on the weight and how many animals it would take. And it wasn't just... Why doesn't it take six years? I don't think it was just for the actual getting it to the top. It was the actual creation of a hill that could take that much weight and not collapse under the weight of it going up the hill. Oh, so they had to build the hill. So they had to bring it out. But they had to get rid of the hill. Correct. So I think from start to finish, that whole endeavor to get that 81-ton thing to the top of it was a six-year process from building the ramp to tearing it all down and getting it out of there. Oh, that's so exhausting. I'm tired just thinking about it. I know. Oh, that's awful, but it's beautiful. It's one of those things, obviously, whenever we can get out of America again, which isn't soon. Well, it's... And it is one of the things I've talked to Andrani about all the time. It's comical that when you talk to someone in India about their history and their buildings and the things that they have, the majority of them are older than our nation. Most things in the world are. Yeah, because we're such a baby place. We're one of the youngest countries. Especially the West Coast, because in America everything started on the East, so the youngest place in the youngest country is over here on the West Coast. Technically the youngest, I believe. Right? Well, yeah. Where is it Alaska? No, Hawaii would be the youngest in every way imaginable, because it's also the earliest, the youngest creation on the planet of actual landmass. That's true. Yeah, that's Hawaii. Hawaii wins. Which? We stole it! America! I have a question. How did it get populated? The... Polynesians, obviously, from somewhere just happened on it? Yeah, they were traveling and they just happened on it. Yeah. That's an amazing... That's like finding a needle in a haystack. And then America's like, mine. Mine. Yeah. America! America. See that? I'm gonna pee on it. That's mine. At least we made them a state, unlike one of our other territories. We are not gonna... America's terrible.

Happy Tuesday, January 12th. Hope everybody had a good day of trading. Plus 11.58 today. So a nice green day, 1,158 in the green. We've got, we had two mighty 90 trades, so plus 498 on our mighty 90s, $250, $258 winner in Apple, $240 winner in Nvidia. No pairs trades today. That was last week. I actually need to delete those. On the runner front had three trades, all three winners, so no losers today, which is fantastic. Peton plus 490, Roku, small winner plus 55, and DKNG, 1,15. Let's take a look at these and I'll show you what we did, starting with, I'll start with our mighty 90s in Apple. So Apple had this big flush lower, broke through the lows of the day, so we got long right here, kind of chopped around a little bit and then finally popped up and we just took a little winner out of that, so plus 258. Nvidia plus 240, this one had this big flush lower, we got long right in this area and caught this little bounce. We didn't stay in this long because we thought it was gonna roll over and so we just, we took a quick profit, but book 240 on that one. So good trade in Nvidia. And then our runners, we had three runners. Let's start with Peton. So something a little bit new we started doing today with the relation of the high volume bars compared to the first five minute bar, going in a kind of a continuation in that favor. So Peton, we booked 490, so we got short right in this area here, got out of a bunch right there, sat through this and tried to get out of some like right down here, just missed getting filled and then it bounced on me on my last piece. So still booked 490, my biggest winner, but I was up quite a bit more, ended up closing out the last piece after it had already bounced up here. So still a nice winner. And then Roku, a similar thing in the opposite direction though, we got long right in here, scaled into a little bit more size about right here and then caught this nice winner up here, got out of three quarters of our position at the top, near the top and then it came back down. We added a little bit and then it just kind of chopped around. I ended up just closing it out right here. I thought it might break lower. This was really, probably if I did one mistake today, it was probably on this one. I was trading my P&L instead of trading the chart. I mean, there's nothing here telling me to get out. I just didn't want to give up a P&L that I'd already taken. So that's why you're seeing only a $55 gain. So I ended up closing out right here and of course immediately after it bounced. And so that's an example of why we always talk about trade the charts, do not trade your P&L. In this case, I certainly traded my P&L on that last piece and it punished me for that. So still winner though, 55 bucks. DKNG plus 115. I did have a bigger winner here. After this initial push up, we got long for an upside runner and scaled out of some here, scaled out of some here and then held through all this little chop, chop, chop. And finally when it broke down, we just closed out the rest of it here. So $115 winner in DKNG had pretty small size in there, but done by 11 a.m. Plus $1,158 on the day. So not too shabby. If you guys have any questions, let me know.

Hey guys and welcome to another episode of Stepping Up. I'm your host, Daniel Dubois, and we are here for another week to highlight some of the amazing things our people are doing amidst the ongoing pandemic. We have a very exciting show filled with laughter and vibes with a team from Food Hub 758 who will chat with us about their new app, which is bringing restaurants and customers together virtually. And for LinkUp, we head to Canada for an update with the Consul General, Cheryl Francis. Our first interview explores the world of online business, food, delivery, people and innovation, all available at our fingertips. Food Hub 758 is an online order and delivery platform which connects clients to restaurants through the use of an app on your cell phone. Let's meet the team behind the scenes. Food Hub 758, hello guys and welcome to Stepping Up and our first interview today. And I am here with David Francis and Jumanie Paul, and they represent a fraction of the managing directors of this new exciting app that is about to launch while they have launched Food Hub 758. Good afternoon guys. Good afternoon. How are you? Thank you for having us. Doing great. Thank you. It's my pleasure having you guys here. So, Food Hub 758, who, what, when, why, who's going to start? It's a group of young, technologically minded individuals who came together to create sort of a digital online platform which allows for e-commerce between restaurants and food providers and delivery, well, and the public. So what it does is that we engage restaurants and food providers and we also engage food couriers and delivery drivers. Everybody's working on the platform and able to transact commerce. Nice. And what we're trying to push forward now is e-commerce, whereas everything is cashless. Wow. And it's going with the theme of everything COVID right now is, no, it's in the sky or in the clouds. Yes. And it's, you know, no touch, no contact. Yes. Right? So, David, let us know, what do you think is the most exciting thing if you have to sum it up in one phrase about Food Hub 758? Make your own money. Food Hub is a site that empowers people in St. Lucia, so it gives you the potential to create your own business and basically feed yourself for want of a better term. So we allow persons who have just their home kitchen, persons who would feel like they have to have a storefront and a brick-and-mortar business. They have to pay rent, pay a light bill. That's not the case with Food Hub. You could actually start your business from your phone using the data that you're already paying for a weekly to go on Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram. All of those things, Food Hub is available right there too. So a young, tech-minded person can basically start their own kitchen, from their own phone, start their own business from their own phone, at their own house with basically no overheads. And you know that your product will be fulfilled and delivered to your customer via our delivery drivers using our system in a manner that you would be able to capture your client's data, get feedback, have order reports, order managers. You get a lot of feedback from our process, you know. So it's a way that you can build your business from nothing to something. If I can use that term on TV, if I would be able to use it. Yes. Nothing to something? Nothing to something. I think that's something everybody can identify with. So let's break it down, because you know the technical stuff is not my forte. Let's talk about who is the first person in your app to probably benefit. Because in getting all that background information from you guys, I realize along the chain of, I guess, is it production or the value supply chain, from where it starts to the end goal, there are a lot of people along the lines who could work and who can benefit from being a part of Food Hub 758. So let us know. Let's guess, I guess. So who's the first person to benefit? Well, the first thing I would say about our platform is that first of all, it's available on Android. So it's in the Play Store and in the App Store. So you're Android on your iPhone, you can use it. We're also available online at FoodHub758.com. So the people we target are, again, restaurants and food providers. So you could be, you know, established restaurants, for instance, you know, businesses like Daniel's Soup Shop. There you go. So let's take it from there. Daniel's Soup Shop and I want to come on Food Hub. What is that process like and what is the benefit to me? Well, I think David, you could jump in there. It's a real simple process to become a business on Food Hub. You go to our website, you go to the top right hand corner, you click more and then you click sign up as a business. We get instant notification. Once we get that notification, we can put you on and you can be on and running, having a business running, working, collecting money within 24 hours. And it will allow direct payment via our integrated system, our integrated payment portal. So we allow any business person who has a PayPal, all you have to do is go on PayPal. Once you have a bank account, go on PayPal, sign up. You get a PayPal business account and our system allows you to use that PayPal business account as if you had your own Shopify. So if you did your own website, so your money goes directly to you. We don't touch your money and that's something that people could agree with. They don't want anybody touching their money. If you get your money directly as a business owner, it makes you feel more comfortable. You're not working through us, we are just the vehicle basically to get you where you want to go. Absolutely. And I think another important aspect to what you guys are talking about is the fact that it creates access in ways that have never probably been possible before. Exactly. So as you're saying, anyone could start their business. Anyone. Any restaurant and they have this direct access. So it could be a case where like and you know the daily struggle for a lot of people is like what is there to eat and you know sometimes you find yourself going to the same restaurant because you just don't have the time and you don't want to go through that. But it creates access, right? That's a great point you made because it's basically bringing the physical to the digital. So the same way a food store would go and get a shop front in the mall and decorate their shop front and lay it out in their own way. It's the same thing we offer on our platform. So you get into FoodUp758 and you put probably the pictures of the items you think that are the most popular items and then you can have as many items as you want in there. So we just create a digital platform again, it's like a digital shop front and from that people come in and then based on how you set up your shop, that's how you're going to get activity as well. And going back to your first question, so we have the restaurants and food providers and again you know established restaurants, you can have somebody making cupcakes at their home, look at it as well, sell to their friends, attract your friends. And on the other side of the spectrum we have delivery drivers and couriers, you know, independent as well. And they link up with the stores. You're looking through the gig economy as well. So people have some free time, they want to make some extra money. A lot of taxi drivers right now are coming to us, we know a lot of them as well, they're saying they want to be on board with the system because things are a bit depressed right now. And that offers people a way to make, you know, do buy, you know. Creating opportunities. Exactly, we want to create opportunities. Not only that everybody goes to NIC and you know, has to engage in that economically program, but there are other ways, other things that can be done as well to supplement that for the betterment of everybody. So can you give like a direct pitch to anybody who has a vehicle and probably they now know that they have the opportunity to jump on board with FoodHub and from what I understand, David, is that you could, you don't have to even meet you. The point is that you have an arrangement and the same thing is you get paid for your delivery and I guess the money it hits when it hits the account. That's all you need. So speak to how can, let anybody know as a driver how they can be part as in terms of the delivery part. So drivers, we're careful with who we want as drivers. And we're not saying that because we want to discriminate from anybody. It's a situation where we want our customers to feel comfortable with the persons who are one handling their food and other items and two who are coming to their homes because security is a very serious issue for us. And we take the security aspect very seriously. So we monitor our drivers, we monitor our orders. So what would you say is some of the things you do to, I guess, vet your drivers or the persons you choose to? Yeah, so a driver who wants to apply with our system must have a certificate of character, a police certificate of character, a valid driver's license and valid insurance. That's what we require right now. Okay, that's not bad. It's not bad, but it's a bare minimum to allow our customers to feel comfortable enough. But we have our own checks and balances in the background. Like we monitor our drivers. We monitor all the times we order delivery. So if anything is off, we would know. And I guess you might have a system where you have a zone. So if you have driver A and you're in just the cap estate area. And then if you have somebody more in the castries area, you monitor and you decide. So let's break it down now for the benefit and the opportunity for customers. What is it besides just the access? How can we enjoy Food Hub 758? Well, one of the first ads we launched and it was in the pilot phase as well was the ad with one of the local influencers. And it was talking about, it wasn't a funny way, but it was talking about trying to, you are home and you may not have money for food right now. And your mother's abroad, your sister's abroad, you know, they can come on to the website, login, order the food for you with the card while you're in St. Lucia. And you can either get it delivered to you, you can go for it. Some people will abuse that. That's perfect, you know. And it gives an alternative to, you know, going to Western Union, signing a love line, you know. And even now, people who even give remittances to family, maybe they want to watch that all a bit more and make sure, you know, watch it, you're doing something progressive with it. And you could probably do a cool thing, like have a credit like, you know, somebody just sent $100. So you're like, your food's set for the week, my girl. You know what I'm saying? Something like that. That is actually part of the vision for it. Because people can go beyond just, okay, you're a restaurant, you could sell a plate of food. That's one thing. But we actually see it as going beyond that. Somebody who has, let's say, creativity in them. So you could mix and match products and sell it as something brand new. So you have a basket, you have a bottle of wine, and you have some goodies like chocolates, cakes and whatnot. Separately, you can sell them individually. Yes. But if you put them together, you add value to everything. And then you sell a package. It becomes an experience, you know. So you're creating opportunity. You create opportunity for everybody who has creativity. And I think it's really amazing what technology and, you know, it sounds like a well-thought-through application. And I guess, you know, I have to come back to, as young people, what is the difficulty? Or did you face any difficulties in bringing up this? And you spoke about it. Was this in the making before COVID or after COVID? Give us that story a little bit. Yeah. Funnily enough, it was something that came up organically. It was before COVID. And it's something we're developing with other partners. And obviously, with COVID, that sort of accelerated the whole process. So we kind of came on board and launched it. And we have it here right now. So, yeah. So that's how it came about, more or less. One of the major difficulties, I would say, that we experienced as young professionals, because Dwight, who is our CEO, our executive officer, he is basically a business mind. But he has a day job. Popey, who is our Popey, Jimani? He is basically our CFO. Yeah. He manages our money. But at the same time, he also has a day job. We all have day jobs. So time becomes the main issue. So you have to dedicate. You have to be dedicated at the end of the day. That was our main. That was our main difficulty right in the time. And I think that's the story of most entrepreneurs. You always have to find a way to balance the two, that you have this dream and you want to aspire to something. But then, you know, you have to pay the bills and you need that kind of security. Absolutely. So being able to move through that and, you know, gentlemen and young gentlemen working together and bringing all your different skills sets together. I mean, I want to applaud you guys. And thank you so much for stepping up. We also don't want to forget the ladies of food. We have some very, very key ladies in the background. Our IT genius is a lady. So, and our marketing people are ladies and they're very brilliant young. We don't want to seem like food up is a male oriental. Pachiako come at all. Thumbs up. It's like that sometimes. We have a nice balance. So just to wrap up, let's go through the app. Let's go through the app. Briefly. So I have this on my phone or my laptop. Food helps 7, 5, 8. I'm very hungry. What are you feeling to eat right now? Right now, our customers seem to be gravitating towards Burns food truck. Oh yes. Bigger Burns all the time. What's the name of the place in Bosses? You again? Sugar City or something like that? Well, they have the food. Yeah. They have a name. They call it. Well, no. Sugar City is lower down. Okay. So the place where they sell in the food Bosses, you know. Yes. By a friend of my institution. So the way our app works. So Burns and I heard that he has really good burgers, right? Yeah, Burns has excellent burgers. It's Angus beef and it's really good. Nice. So we find it for burgers David. Okay. So the way our app works is that you go to our home page. Our home page is basically the welcome. It tells you you're at Food Hub. The first thing you'll see is our live chat will pop up on the right side. You can talk directly to us using our live chat if you have any questions whatsoever. But we've made it as simple as possible. So the home page has two bars. You pick whether you want delivery or pickup. And after that, you click the next bar, which is our location bar. Once you click that bar, it takes you directly using Google Maps to the address that you're at. Anywhere in St. Lucia. So the restaurant knows directly where the customer is. And so does the driver. Oh, that's cool. So the customer also have an idea of the distance that the driver will be traveling to deliver his food. Now, as soon as that happens and you actually log in to the website, then once you get that, it'll show you our restaurant. So right now Burns Food Truck pops up. So we pick our favorite orders from Burns Food Truck, which for Popey is the Angus Beef. All right. So once you get the Angus Beef in your cart, Burns Food Truck gives you several options. You can put bacon, blue cheese, cheddar, and all these kind of things. And once you get them into your cart, it's a simple process from there. You just select from these options. And then you also pick your payment method. So although we're trying to move away from the cash system because of COVID and social distancing and whatnot, we want our customers to be very safe. We encourage our drivers to use masks and those kind of things. But we have several payment options. So you encourage them to pay even though it's pickup or delivery online. Online. That's the first point of call. But knowing how things are these days, not everybody has a card. And we don't want restaurants to lose business based on somebody not having a card. So we'll allow the drivers also to accept cash in certain circumstances. Our app actually takes cognizance of that. So once you get into the app, it'll save your location. So the driver will have a very good idea of where the customer is. And they'll also have certain information about the customer that we put in. The customer, their address, their mobile phone number. And if they have discount coupons, we also integrated discounts into our restaurants. And I'm sure you'll have a place where you'll have like my personal, I guess, order history so I could probably frequent that, et cetera. Yes, yes, yes. So once you log in on the app. So once you log in on the app. Exactly. So once you know just about Amazon and all of these apps. It's the same thing. Yeah, it's the same thing. And one thing to say about the cash aspect of it. We know cash is still a bit of a dicey issue. So one thing we want to say as well as at restaurants, we give you full flexibility of accepting the drivers you want to work with. You don't have to work with all our drivers. And then pretty soon they could say, well, you know, these are our designated drivers. Exactly. So we want some opportunities. Those you want to come and work and be on the platform. So that integrates everybody and everybody feels safe. So if you want to do cash deliveries, at least the drivers you work with will do these deliveries for you. And otherwise, like I said, it's like Amazon. So you should be doing everything cashless. You want to ship the culture. So that's why we want to be part of the process going towards e-commerce. Nice. And, you know, the next time it comes about, I mean, COVID is a crisis that came. And like many people say, we have to find the opportunities and crises and make the best of them. And that's what we're trying to do right now with FoodUp75. So put it in the context of Daniel's soup shop. Daniel has a cousin who owns a scooter. Yes. He doesn't have a job right now. Yes. But he could be making $20 a delivery, $12.50 a delivery. And it could add up over time. He could deliver several things at once and make, let's say, $100 for his day. Whereas his bike could have sat down there. He'd have done nothing for the day otherwise. And you can work on your own time. So you switch on as a driver when you're ready. You switch off. It's up to you with your own hours. Like you're done for today. Yeah, you're done for today. You want it as a little squander pile for the day. You want $40. You want to take out your little bird. That's really cool. But once again, guys, thank you so much. And I want to applaud you guys for stepping up during the whole COVID-19. And as we all say, in some places, it's really horrible for everybody. But there's opportunity out there. There's opportunity out there. And it's just to find it. I just want to give one big up to our CEO. Our CEO out there, Dwight Liskairis. He's in the TV room out there. Big up to Dwight. Big up to Dwight. You know, behind the scenes. But thank you so much. So probably next time, we know you'll have drinks seven, five weeks. Well, how are you? I think you're reading out mine now. So drinks. Thank you very much for having us. Thank you very much. We encourage everybody to go to www.foodhub758.com and see how the platform works. Get the apps on the Play Store and the App Store available right now. We're also on IG and Facebook. There you go. There you have it, guys. We'll be right back. Because of COVID-19, I don't know when I'll be able to work again. Because of the coronavirus, we've lost 80% of our revenue. How can the government stop the economy? Because it's unexpected. So we're not like we can blame the government, but we're just uncertain of the future. As a bus driver, how do that stimulus package help you? Since the coronavirus, things have not been the same. I just want to know what would the government do to help single mothers take care of their children? On sending the stimulus package, I would like to know how it would be implemented. Tune in on Sunday as we present the Salusha Economic and Recovery Resilience Plan. There's something there for everyone. Together, we will continue to build a new and stronger Salusha. Welcome back. We just heard from the guys at Food Hub 758, and they wanted me to tell you that you can get the app for free. So go on and download it now. And now it's time for our link-up segment. Today, we will be linking up with Cheryl Francis, Consul General for St. Lucia in Canada. Let us know how the office has continued to work during the pandemic and how they are assisting persons who are interested in coming home. Hello, guys, and welcome to our link-up segment. And for this link-up, we head to Canada, and we're going to have a chat with the Consul General for St. Lucia in Canada. And her name is Miss Cheryl Francis. Hello, Miss Francis. How are you? Hello. Hello, Daniel. I am doing great. Thank you. How's the weather in Canada today? Absolutely beautiful. Not missing anything in St. Lucia. It's always the breeze. The sun is shining, and it's absolutely beautiful. Nice. I'm happy to hear that. So once again, thank you for joining us for our link-up segment. And you know, if link-up, we just try to reach out to anybody doing anything amazing in the whole COVID-19 season. And today we want to talk about what exactly are you up to in your office in Canada and how are you helping St. Lucia and the DAS for at this time? Okay. Thank you, Daniel. First of all, thanks for having me on. I'm more than delighted to say what's going on in my neck of the woods in Canada. And you know, from the inception when Canada, we were all faced with this pandemic, and Canada had to shut its doors like everybody else way back in March. We suddenly had to just rejig the way that we do our operations in the office. And our nationals can say that we have not once stopped on what we had to provide our nationals with. So we changed the way we do things, apart from the fact that we had to shut down our offices. What we did is we transferred all our calls to our mobile phones. All mail come to my home. So it's dealt with in a good fashion. And we also, we have been able to take calls one-on-one with our nationals following up, checking up on them, seeing how they're doing. And you know, it has been good thus far. Nice. You mentioned that basically your office had to kick into gear or different gear when it was, you know, when the whole COVID thing started. Can you just know some of the things that you used to do before COVID and let us know how the pandemic has changed basically your daily operations? Well, the main thing is the face-to-face interactions. Of course, the social distancing and being careful, we have not been able to see our usual nationals come into the office on a daily basis. However, we get to talk to them on a regular basis. But honestly, I must say to you I'm pleased about coming out of all of this. We've been able to streamline our processes a lot better. We've been able to do things a lot more efficiently. You know, for example, even payment structures that, you know, we otherwise had very outdated methods of payment. We had been able to now provide our nationals with different forms of payment because now they can't come into the office to do it. So, you know, the debit, the credit, you know, email, email transfers sometimes. And, you know, all of that has made us realize that, you know, there's a different way to operate. And another thing that has made us very efficient, I would say, is the fact that we no longer have to drive or travel those long distances to get to the office. You know, most of us now we work from home and you find that we wake up earlier so we get into gear earlier. We don't have that time wasted. You don't come home tired where you shut off and, you know, can't really get to the calls. But we have become a lot more efficient in managing those operations. And that has really, you know, shone a light basically on the way we do operations. Nice. So, we know that this week St. Lucia is receiving or is set to receive their first set of commercial flights. And, you know, it has been up in arms and it's something that I think internationally and everybody who's interested in coming home or to St. Lucia is monitoring the situation very closely. So, let us know in Canada how do you assist persons at this point who are interested in coming home and what is the situation right now that obtains in Canada, sorry, that other borders still open or closed? Well, not still open but closed. So, you know, everywhere has their own, you know, I would say intricacies and, you know, what they're doing right now and so how are you assisting St. Lucia in coming home right now? The good thing about Canada, Canada has really managed the pandemic very well, just as St. Lucia has. Our borders are still closed in Canada. There's still a travel ban for citizens of Canada. They basically say non-essential travel and so citizens of Canada have not been travelling as much. And so the airlines especially Air Canada who was slated to start its first commercial flights on July 18th has now cancelled all flights for July. So, we're now looking at the first of August. But we have been encouraging all of our nationals to register with the consulate and so we have a list of all of our nationals, I would hope who have been stranded in Canada and we've been liaising with them very frequently. Up until yesterday I was calling up everyone because I know that most of them would have been concerned that the flights again have been cancelled. And I think more or less for the airlines it's that yes St. Lucia is open and we are ready to receive them but it's coming back with the aircraft being empty and citizens of Canada not travelling because they still have to do a 14-day quarantine when they return from their holiday. So that has not been helping of getting persons from Canada to travel to St. Lucia. So we're looking to see something different happen in August but for us at the consulate we have been contacting our nationals just to update them our websites frequent calls, Facebook we update them on what's going on. So as soon as the cancellations happened yesterday I was on the phone speaking to nationals as to what their possibilities were who was affected who has issues and just basically helping them to go through it. And we're just looking forward to getting somewhere in August. That's sad news because my best friend is in Canada and we were gearing up for the 18th because we were monitoring and stuff like that but maybe that's the thing with this whole pandemic you just never knew and you have to be careful but you still have to try to do what you have to do and you just have to be ready to just to move when the time is ready. So Right now some persons are actually looking at the option of going through the US once you have a US visa I have made several calls to various American Airlines and US Airlines trying out if there's any restrictions for Saint Lucia traveling through the US with a visa to Saint Lucia Yes it's a roundabout we would have preferred a direct flight but they have said to me that there are no restrictions so there are some Saint Lucia now looking at the possibility of going via the US to come home because flights are available from the US to Saint Lucia so I've been getting persons to register to go on. As you say register though can you just speak to the importance of registering because anybody I guess might just ask like why must you have to register to get home and stuff like that so let us know how does the office support kick into gear and why is it important to register Yes so we have asked our nationals once they get in touch with our office we take down all of their particulars so once anything comes up we are able to call them very quickly because sometimes even when you have a repatriation flight it happens within days the last repatriation flight that I was successful in pulling together May 24th went very smoothly for those who had already called into the office so it was easy for me to call them to say can you get ready for May 24th and most of them will overjoy to be able to register so you know they were able to get on and that is the importance once we know you are there we can contact you very easily so update you on anything that is happening you know and you know so most importantly now yesterday I was calling to just urge persons to go on to St Lucia.org the pre arrival form must be done before they can travel before they can even book their flights they need to get approval the reason for that is because of course our government offices in St Lucia have to ensure that they are quarantine space for those nationals coming home either the home quarantine your home has to be inspected so all of these pre checks have to be done so I urge them to go on to register get approval and in Canada as well I have provided a list of covid of centres that they can go to do their covid test so that as well has been provided so they can go get a test within 7 days of travel but first and foremost they need to register then get the test and then they can head home. Wow and I think it is important to remember that it is absolutely not business as usual you cannot, before you could have just book your flight tonight and then the next day or the next a few days you could just hop on a flight and you never had to worry about these things but there are so many besides this red tape all of what you mentioned so all of that prevents people from doing exactly what they wish they could and how they want to. Like our Prime Minister even mentioned a couple nights ago on his update we sort of went through that with 9-11 all of these things had to change because of a situation and it takes all of us to have that buy in, all of us to take our precautions. This is a we thing, this is something that we all have to do together to make it work and it's the same thing so if you register, if you do all of the things that the officials are asking to do, I think it will all help us especially those on the front line, you know we always have to remember them. Thanks Francis, we just want to say thank you so much for joining us today. I mean I was very much so enlightened about the whole process and how St. Lucian's need to register and if they want to come home, this is the process because any of the government of St. Lucia at the same time is ensuring the safety of everybody while trying to make everybody happy at the same time so we need to register as you say so that we could see when the opportunity pops up it could just get to go. All of the information that we have to share you know and just knowing that they have the support in Canada from our office you know some of them you know they're very frustrated you know and we understand that so somebody to share that with as well I know it doesn't help much but you know the support is there. So Miss Francis thanks again so much any final words from you and your office as we come to the end of the link up segment. Yes I mean I just want to assure our nationals who are stranded in Canada and those living in Canada that we are functional our office is open even 24-7 some persons call me after hours so we want to assure you that we are there for you and you know to continue to liaise the office we will continue to provide you with updates we are here to support you and we hope that it all works out well for all of us in the end and let us all just do this together and support each other. Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen the consul general has spoken Thank you so much and you enjoy the rest of your day. You too. Thank you Bye bye. I had a lot of fun doing this week's instalment of stepping up getting to chat with the guys from food hub 758 for stepping up to Miss Francis and the office in Canada. Thank you. If you know anyone in your community or anyone who has an amazing idea feel free to send me an email at steppingup758 at gmail.com I'm Daniel Dubois. Join us next time and don't forget to keep stepping up.

Hey friends today, I'm gonna give you a look inside this beautiful home that is completely themed Animal kingdom and safari. I'm so excited 14 bedrooms 14 bathrooms all separately themed Something to do with animals the animal kingdom safaris. This is amazing. I can't wait to show you. Let's go do this And as soon as you walk in you can see the walls Just show so much amazingness and just take a look at this living room Look at that TV. That is the biggest TV. I've ever seen and then right over here It's the Tree of Life Amazing isn't it? I can't get over this place Wow And right on the side of the Tree of Life mural there is a bedroom and it's gonna be the first bedroom We're gonna show you remember they have 14 of these themed bedrooms and this one is the Lion King themed bedroom look at this Amazing isn't it? The bed, holy moly the artwork on the walls This is a beautiful room This is just so beautiful Everything blends together perfectly from the dressers to the bed. It just fits with the room and I like that and Plus even this nice little bed runner right here That is so themed There's actually three bedrooms just on the first floor alone But like I said before look at all the theming in here all the walls all of the decorations It's amazing. One of the coolest thing I want to point out though that makes this house kind of stand out is over here This is super awesome I can't wait to show you this because it's amazing how they kept the theming going even with something so amazing as this a Safari themed bowling lane What this is in the house? Amazing isn't it? I can't even get over this Like you can actually stay here and have a safari themed bowling alley to yourself to just play Even the classic bowling lane rug is actually animals That's nicely done. I Have been in a lot of different houses. This is the first time I've ever seen an animal themed bowling lane now The next room is actually right across the hall from the bowling lane And it's the cheetah room Look at this Amazing I am loving all of the artwork in these rooms I've only seen two so far, but I'm pretty impressed already and like I said the beds just seem to match it I don't know how but it's very cool And it's not overly cheetah when I first seen cheetah I thought everything was gonna be cheetah print, but no, it's keeping a classy. I like that As we continue on the first floor itself, like I said, there's three bedrooms down here the rest are up top We're gonna show you another nifty spot and just look at some of the decorations that they actually put in the kitchen area Before I wasn't able to really show you this but take a look at the ceiling with all the birds It's amazing and above the TV itself They put a lot of work into this and the furniture itself looks like it's custom-made That's some nice furniture But in the kitchen you can see all these dinosaurs and Dragons if you're not familiar there was gonna be a beastly kingdom section of animal kingdom And that kind of keeps it in themed here. I like that To the right of the kitchen we have a safari themed bedroom Wow This artwork is literally on point. This is my favorite thing Look at these walls and then of course like I said the bed kind of just fits in perfectly Look at that That is amazing I'm seriously in love with every single room so far We've only seen the three like I said you guys got to let me know in the comments What your favorite themed part of the house is is it the bowling lane? Is it the tree of life in the living room or is it a specific bedroom? Let me know in the comments because I always like to hear some feedback on The side of the safari bedroom. There's another door and it's not marked But I hear a lot of noise coming from it so I can only guess what it actually could be It is a arcade look at this Look at the cool safari sega set up This is amazing Wow And check out the flight simulator. Oh Wow amazing in here. I Remember playing this game a lot when I was a kid at top dog and I appreciate How they keep the actual carpet kind of like bowling lane style theme This is an amazing room right here and it's actually the garage So they actually closed off the garage and they actually turned it into an arcade which is actually really smart I mean, I mean if you're not living here, and this is just for a rental purposes I would rather have an arcade than a garage Now we're actually gonna head upstairs if you see I actually put all of my sun Rises and sunset videos on the big TV because I wanted to see what it looked like. That's lightning over Magic Kingdom That was a fun video And even the walls actually on the stairway is still themed This is really awesome, do you guys hear the little animals? I am a little shocked here guys. This is a lot to take in but wow This is pretty amazing all of the other bedrooms are up here So that means we have 11 different rooms to look at up here. I don't even know how this is possible But first take a look at the actual movie theater I like how they added these little lights above it. This is awesome What an amazing movie theater and these are actually movie theater seats That's a nice little touch. I mean, it's not as big as the TV downstairs, but that's a pretty big TV Sorry if there's a little lens flare going on There is a lot of black lights up here and it's really cool because it makes the artwork on the walls Really stand out like take a look at this wall right here That is beautiful and as you can see over here We have two bedrooms all of the bedrooms up here are animal themed So we have a gorilla room lion room a zebra room We're gonna go in and look at the mall, but this is a lot There's still 11 bedrooms to get to next we have the zebra room and the giraffe room I'm excited to see the zebra one. I like zebras. So let's take a peek see in here Wow This is awesome. Oh Yeah, I Think I found my winner. I don't know why like it's not overly zebra It's just really nice Like you would think you walk in and it just be black and white stripes everywhere, but no they keep it really themed This is amazing. Look at that a couple zebras hugging And I like the bed itself too because that's like the little bit of zebra theming that they put in here Other than the zebras on the walls really nifty The next room is gonna be the giraffe room. Oh Wow This one is big this must be like a master bedroom look at this I really like this I Like the bed again. There's like I would say about six zebras in here They even keep little baby ones too There is a lot of choices here, so I'm kind of like really curious on what you guys think here Here is the gorilla one. I'm excited to see this. This is the first time I'm seeing it here with you guys. Oh This is cool, and it's got little bunk beds Custom-made bunk beds. I like this the kids will love it Look at all the gorillas on the walls. This is an really nifty room for the kiddos Do you climb up to the top from the pause? That's awesome Each of the rooms have their own TV in their own bathroom The bathrooms aren't themed as much and since we have a lot of rooms to cover I'll probably skip over the bathrooms themselves like they have some animal theming But I'm more concentrated on the rooms and like I said, they're being so many We got a lot to get to on the other side of the gorilla room is the lion room So we're gonna take a look see in here. Oh Wow more bunk beds. This is great. Look at this Oh, I love it. I can see the kids and everyone fighting. No, I want the lion room. No, I want the gorilla room That's really cool. This is an amazing concept Look at these lions over here Wow Because of those rooms with the bunk beds means that this house can sleep up to 40 guests That is amazing. If you had a big meeting or a big family and you wanted to come down and get a villa This crease is great. The next room is the elephant room. Oh Wow Wow, this one is really nice. I don't know this one actually really competes with the zebra room for me Oh, I like it it's so amazing to see so much variety and Animals is just a great way to do it because how many animals are out there? You could just be like elephant room You know what? I wonder if they have a reptile room like a snake room. That'd be really cool We're gonna keep moving along and I see they have a hippo room. I like hippos And take a peek see in here. Oh Look at this That is awesome. I like seeing the rooms like this because this is the first time I'm seeing them Oh, it's getting a little dark But it's really nifty and I like the purple walls because hippos kind of have like a purple tint to them. This is really awesome Two more rooms on the side of the hippo room We have the rhino room and then we have the ostrich room and I love this ostrich room I love the bed probably the most Look at this This is a really cool room I've never seen a headboard like that before But it fits perfectly look at this ostrich kind of just peeking at you and then the rhino room right here Oh Look at that big old mean rhino Nothing rhinos are actually mean. They just look intimidating This one is nice as well. These are really good themed rooms. I just love the artwork Like I said, that's probably one of the coolest things about them The artwork is what makes the room stand out the most and that's what I like about it The furniture itself is just really nifty crafted furniture and that's another cool quality inside the rooms It really does just blow my mind how many rooms are up here We've already looked at one two three four five six seven eight rooms already just on this floor itself And we have another hallway to go down And I like the carpet and the lighting that they actually have going through the hallways really adds a little touch to it But this is the hyena room Wonder if we're gonna see Ed in here Look at this. Oh Hyenas are such awesome animals. I definitely don't think they get their credit due I loved Ed and Chenze from the Lion King, but look at this That's amazing Across the hall we have the tiger room. Oh, I got some big expectations for this one. Oh, yeah This is nice It's like a tad classy Don't you think look at the headboard kind of held like it's a tiger. This is really cool Very well put together That tiger looks mean and old and the bathroom I really want to show you on this one because it's kind of like a white Siberian tiger themed Pretty amazing, isn't it? I believe we have one more room to get to I was a little lost and I walked right past it It was actually probably gonna be one of the first ones we went to but like I said, this is a massive home I am blown away by the sheer size and just space This one is the wild dog room Wild dog and I almost missed it. Oh Man This one is really colorful. I love this room actually Wow, I can't believe I almost missed this one Honestly, I really like this room and it's the last one and it's the one I almost missed I just like the colors now I'm not basing that off of my favorite animal because the wild dog is not my favorite animal But I just like the way this room looks It's very open and the different colors and it's probably got the most animals on the walls actually because Wild dogs running packs. So it makes sense So that's gonna do it for me. I hope you guys enjoyed this little tour. This house is pretty amazing I really love the fact that it just goes into so much detail with the animals and the tree of life That's a beautiful touch Anywho's I'm gonna put all the information in the description below and how you can actually rent this place out If you're planning on coming over if you just want to spend the night or two Because it's well worth it and it sleeps up to 40 people. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye I seriously can't get over that TV. I can't believe I'm watching me on this TV. That's amazing

Yes, I'm Ashley Mason and I'm currently a visiting professor at Metropolitan State University. I'm ending my two-year tenure here. And I'm also one of the three jurors of the 528.0 show, the print show at the Center for Visual Arts. I have here a collection of works not only from our collection here at Metropolitan State University of Visiting Artist Program as well as in print for my own collection of all artists that are across the nation. But I feel like the work encompasses not only representations of different medias within printmaking but also what's going on in the nation as well as in Denver and the region. So my work is primarily lithography combined with spring print. So usually I'll do a drawing which is called a key in black and white and then I will apply color through spring print on top. So it is combined two processes not only that are very broad and diverse as well within each medium but also encompasses water-based ink and oil-based ink. And along beside me here are two other prints that are lithographs. And this one is by David Morrison. And as you notice when you look at his work and you notice when you look at all the work people are building imagery through the process. So it's not always one drawing, one shot and then printed. In this case he's done many layers and I can't even tell you how many layers are in this but I know generally he does up to 20 layers of drawings, colors and layering. So in this case he has a drawing as well as digital applications as you can see some imagery that's been digitally manipulated alongside something that's been hand drawn. And as we move along this is Michael Barnes. This print is a lithograph done on limestone. So this happens to be on the photoplated method and this happens to be on a lithographic stone. Once again many layers of drawings that compose and layer to complete this image. So we have three of these come as various approaches to lithography. In my case I like to use ball grain plates so I do hand drawn on the plate. In this case using photographic plates and in this case using the limestone. They happen to all be etchings all on copper. So they have used acid to incise the line all printed in oil-based ink. I'll leave this piece by Adrienne Miller. Actually a lot of new processes are being incorporated with fabrication methods. So this person actually has hand drawn elements in the bottom as you see in your print using the traditional etching method. And then also these areas here you see have been digitally engraved into the plate. As we go down to these next four these happen to be prints from our collection of visiting artists as they visited Metropolitan State University and worked with the students. So these are all relief prints. This one by Karen Coombe. Many layers of color though she combines a lot of what would be called a blend roll and applications of color within one run. And she also uses a lot of stencil work as she's applying the ink onto her block. So it's all wood carving in this case. This image by Tom Huck. All done I believe it could be I'm not to be honest I wasn't here but I believe it was either a linoleum or wood carving. Generally he works in black and white. Generally much larger than this. But you can see how he's applied really dense intricate narrative. This is our actually most recent visiting artist, Humberta Sands. And he actually combined in this case he combined a wood cut and self-screened for color. So similar to the way my work is done only in this case he did his key image in brown as you see carving on her lead wood block. And visiting artist we have last year, Jefena Miller who's an alumnus of Metro as a student. And she actually uses a lot of relief printers are venturing into worlds of printing and carving onto plastics. So in this case she carved into polystyrene to make this image as opposed to wood or linoleum. And then we have one rod where she's just done one roll but in a blend from red to black. Finally we have silk screen or screen print I should say. And you'll see various applications from these artists as well. Matthew Hobson Walker. You can see the various applications where he's combining in the background a digital pattern that he's made and done it photographically as well as hand drawing that he's also applied onto photo motion through a screen. So he's layering many different colors. Every color you see is a different drawing or a different substrate whether it be stencil cut out or a digital image that's been printed or hand drawing. Spinny, there are you Spinny. This is one of her prints. Also a combination but mostly made through digital means obviously by the halftime that you see here as well. So many of that work was done on the computer to make all the different layers through substrates. Mark Housford in this case. Every color once again you see is a hand drawn. He starts hand by hand drawing and then he'll apply work into the computer and resolve or finish all the layers of drawing. So this might have about 20 different layers of printing. So the end result can be quite complex and involved. And then Midwest pressed which is Tim Dooley and Aaron Holson and this is a combination of layered imagery all made through digital means as well.

the range office before you go to your bench and that that cover will be will be cleaned. We're also trusting individuals to be careful around things that we use jointly, pens and staplers and target frames. We would hope everybody has hand sanitizer with them and uses it. We trust you with guns. We're going to trust you with personal safety in this area as well. And the other thing we're going to do is under some circumstances we're going to ask all users to wear masks. Now if you're more than 10 feet apart, if there's only two of us on the rifle deck at any time, clearly you don't have to wear a mask. But if we have a busy day and everybody's within six feet of each other, then we are going to ask that people people wear masks. So a lot of this is common sense. It's not new to people who are around firearms all their lives to be aware of and on our safety requirements. But the goal here is to open as quickly we can to do so safely and to obey all laws and regulations while we're doing that. And hopefully that will be May 1. Thank you, Jake. Our Reverend Baud, do you have anything to add? No, I think you, thank you, summed it up well, Hank. Thank you. Okay, great. If we can just talk about the existing projects and kind of what we're doing going forward, then the next step we'll get into some member questions. So Mark, if you wouldn't mind talking about the restrooms and where we're at with those. The leak's in the wall in the men's room, which is the left hand bathroom. And then the plumber was out yesterday and was able to patch that one. Meanwhile, he found two or three more, got those done. Those are repaired. And talking with Jim this morning, things were still holding pressure. So I think we're good on that. We've got some drywall to repair. And then we need to replace the inline water heaters, which were not going to work, but they did freeze and crack. So we're getting two new two and a half gallon small water heaters to go one in each bathroom. Those run off 110 power and they'll be more than sufficient for those sinks. So a couple of steps to them. And we should be able to start using those when we reopen. Now we're still going to put a covering over it for the winter for next year, so we don't have that freeze problem. But otherwise, I hope to have those up and running hopefully when we reopen. Great. Thanks, Mark. And then, Reverend Bot, would you think you got a lot of irons in the fire with the range? So the water line, trees, the block work, drainage work, so anything else that you might think of? Okay. Thank you, Jake. The water line, so this is the rerouting of the water line that services the range master's house. And the county decided to replace the water line. And instead of replacing it near or in proximity to where the old line was, they're going to line bore across the rifle bay underground about about the 250-200 yard line ish. And then they will bring it back around that going with the four inch line because the compost system that they put in requires up to 50,000 gallons a day, because garbage doesn't decompose well enough in Teton County. So then they will refeed the line to the house. And they have been, as you might expect, lots of fun to work with. And the time frame is still up in the air. They had a bidder's inspection on the 9th of April. But they can't get to a portion of the project until June 1, because that's when the sensitive habitat restriction allows people to come on to the area where they need to get to attach to the well. So at some point, the county will need to close down the rifle range and, well, all of them, everything. And while they bore underground, because boring requires access pits along the way. And so they were told that it would be only 10 to 14 days to bore this, whatever the length is, 800 yards or however long they're boring is. And so they don't know when it will be. And they will let us know when they are going to need access. The county has also told us just an increasing amount of restriction. They want an MOU, a memo of understanding with the gun club to provide them access whenever they need it. And then they told us they want to put in a meter on our water usage, but promise that would not charge us. And then until they decided that they're going to charge us. And the amount of they're going to charge us is undetermined at this point. But they will put that in the MOU when they develop that MOU. And I pressed for how much they're going to charge. They would offer nothing. And that would, that's just to be determined by them at some date in the future. The good news is we have a landlord in the game and fish that is thrilled to death with the Jackson Hole Gun Club operating the gun range. And the county gets nothing unless the game and fish says so. And the game and fish, speaking with Brian Rogan in the lander office, he's the guy in charge of all of the land for the game and fish in this part of the state. And he said, well, we won't, we won't allow a memo of understanding to be signed unless the gun range is happy with, with the conditions. And he said, they don't have to come through the gun range to get to their well. They can go through Game Creek. So they got that going for them. So we will get that out to you just as, as soon as we have any information on it. And please understand it's going to be a construction project. And the date, the dates are going to be moving targets. So please understand that it might get changed, but not by our, not by the board's doing. We're literally at the mercy of the county on this one. So concrete block work, the terracing that you've seen going, we have a few more courses to go on capping the existing concrete blocks. And then we're going to put some additional concrete blocks along the west side of the parking lot and extending out toward where the old gate was. And that will be some overflow parking between those blocks and the game fence in that area north of Rangemaster's house. And let's see, then another project is the drainage below the 22 Rimfire Bay with the Y Dot dirt work that is, that took place previous two years on the slope. A lot of dirt has been displaced and ran down, lodged up next to the outside of the shop. And we need, we need to excavate and put in some drainage culverts. And that will, that project will hopefully be starting week after next at the latest. And that will be about a week's project. We will be, we will be, if we're able to open, it will not affect that project at all because he'll be, he'll be working underneath the Rimfire Bay, not out beyond the firing line. So that will not affect the range usage at all, but it will affect keeping the inside of the shop dry. So I'm sure Jim would appreciate that. And let's see, trees and irrigation. So we had the 29 spruce trees put in. The, we had some additional dirt work that had to be done because the, the trees were put in, well, wasn't the, wasn't the greatest job of putting them in. So we had a little bit of additional work on that. On top of staking the trees and adding mulch and spraying for one of, one of the beetles, John Paul, George, Ringo, I don't know, white, white pine spruce beetle or something. The, then we're also putting in irrigation to keep the trees irrigated. And an irrigation system will also be put in on the yard around the Rangemaster's house as well. And if you've, if you've driven by you, you could see the house a little easier because they, one of the projects was to remove the aspen trees that were tearing up the porch growing out from underneath the porch. So that, that has already been accomplished. And let's see, Bill Holman was on here. I mean, there he is. Okay. That's, I'll let Bill talk about the, the shotgun things at a later date, but that's into my report. So thank you. Bill, did you, did you want to add anything? Yeah, I had a little report here. Can y'all hear me? All right. One of the things I want to talk about, I know when Mark was talking about the donations, he said something about $150, I think it was. I just want to remind everybody, so we can thank him. Randy Smith donated, I believe it was $2,500 to the new trap machine that was part of the projects that said that in the report was $9,000. And a lot of it was trap. 2,500 of that was donated by Randy Smith for the new wobble trap. Also five sand and trap are ready to go. I spent the last couple of weekends moving everything around 22 Bay is set back to normal. The wobble traps moved out of there. Everything is set up. I have a friend of mine that works with a spectrum that is going to try to donate some batteries to us. We need about three new batteries. Let's see here. There are a couple things that I'd like to get to have on hand are antennas. The receivers that are on the trap machines with the sun have a lot of those when we have birds that don't go when you push the button. I've determined that it's the antennas just sitting in the intense heat. So I'd like to order some antennas. I called and spoke with Promatic. They're $168 each. We don't really have to have three. I just wanted some of the problem machines wanted to replace those. But I would like to have at least one or two extra antennas. Same thing with the solar charger converters. The sun has deteriorated the wires to where bare wires are exposed. Makes me a little leery when fire season comes that they're if they ever shorted out, create a fire. So those are kind of on my priority. I need at least three of those. Those are $58 each from Promatic. Let's see. I did reposition the shotgun bay a little bit to the five stand to shoot more to the north so we could kind of start shooting a little bit earlier, especially if ship starts able to bring customers in. We've been limited to about after one o'clock because of the sun. So I've just kind of changed the five stand to shoot a little more north. I do need a couple people like Mark to go up there and maybe take a look and see what they think as far as the positioning safety wise, things like that. If we set a new tent up, I just want to make sure that everybody is okay with that. If anybody could take a look at that before our opening so I can reposition things again if they're not happy with it. We have enough birds with a soft opening. I think we can last about seven weeks. So we need to think about that. I know we were talking about ordering some birds with other people and maybe getting the connex, but I think we can get at least five to six pallets inside our shed that we have up there. Now I've spent last winter cleaning out the whole shed. There's pretty much nothing in there except for a ship's little closet for guns. So all that's cleaned out. Let's see. That's about it. Like I said, 22 bays ready to go back. All the tables are back where they were at. So I think we're ready to go. Cool. Thank you, Bill. Thanks for all you've done for the shotgun. It's really been nice. No problem. My pleasure. So I'm not sure how we should do this, but you know, if there's only a few questions, we can just whoever yells loudest can ask them. And if everybody has a question, then maybe we should have some sort of rhyme or reason. So I guess we'll just start there. And anybody that has any questions or comments, go ahead and unmute yourself and chime in. Looks like Reverend Bot. Yeah, there's one. There's a question in the chat from Ron. Will the range be open initially to members only or to the general public? Jake, go ahead. Our plan is to open for both members and guests. Yeah, which is the same rules. Yes. I should just add that everything that Reverend Bot and I have put together, we've now sent forward to the board. But the board hasn't actually met and approved all that. I think it's a good plan. We'll see what others think. And I suspect it will be approved, maybe with some minor modifications, but we're close to an agreed protocol. Jake. Yes, sir. And just regarding the opening to the public as well, when I was speaking with Game and Fish, he gave a general reminder that we are to be opened to the public as a condition of our lease for a certain number of days per year. And so we can take it under advisement as to if we maintain winter rules through the, sorry, the winter opening schedule through the summer. And if we're short on public days, we can increase that in the winter. Of course, not many people use it, but we just have to be open to the public. But that's something that we want to make sure that we honor because it was a gentle reminder that we have an obligation to be open a certain number of days to the public. Fair enough. Thank you very much. Other questions? We're good. So any, sorry, is that Bill? Did you have something? Bill had a question. You're still muted, Bill. I got you. All right. Can you hear me? Yep. All right. I was talking with Kyle, the game worn the other day. He met me up there. I know there's, we hadn't talked about the shed hunting on May 1st. And he, it's not a demand or anything from Game Commission. We just talked about the first day of opening and people coming out there. And this is the first time they've done it at noon on a Saturday, which will be the day of our opening. He had mentioned that it would be great if we were reopening. Like I said, he didn't, it wasn't a formal request from the Game Commission, but there's going to be people all over the hills up there looking for sheds. And he didn't know if we could postpone that till the second that just something he thought about, you know, taking into consideration. I think it's already on the calendar. Okay. That's all I had. Other questions or Reverend Boddy seeing any other? Yeah, there's another comment from Tony. I hope the board finds that wearing masks are to be a personal choice and not mandatory. And then also I believe it was stated that people were going to be asked to wear masks. So like, you know, Hank had mentioned that we haven't fully vetted the plan through the board, but so we'll get that dialed in and get that best practice would definitely be to have masks. But as Hank pointed out, if you're two people on the range and you're 10 feet apart, it really, I mean, that's a little overkill. So we want to be reasonable and make sure that, you know, common sense prevails, but with the groups and stuff like that, we need to be as careful as we can. So we'll dial that in and get that out here sooner than later, especially if we can, you know, the county mandate can get lifted and we can get back to some form of normalcy. So any other questions or comments or chat questions? No more chat questions that come in. Any comments from board members? Colin, we haven't heard from you or Tom, anybody? I'm not hearing you, Colin. Well, there you are, Colin. Now you quieted out now, Colin. Tom, do you have any comments or anything? You're still muted, Tom. Sorry. Your mute button is still on. I'll get you, Tom. Nothing at this time. All right. Can you guys hear me now? Yeah, we got you. Okay. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and and what not, how much time Bill has put in to the to the clays and five stand and getting that running this winter. That was his idea. And I think a lot of people, a lot of board members and whatnot as well really appreciated that. So I think that I personally want to throw that out there. Thanks. Yeah, a lot of thanks to everybody. I mean, it's a really great group and Len and Shep. And I know Scott Grower and Mark as usual and put in a ton of time. There's a lot of people out there that I don't see because I don't make it out as often as I want. But it's really a really great group and the club is pretty amazing with what the last 15 or 20 years has brought and especially in the last five or 10. It's an exciting place to be and now hopefully using it. Jim, did you have anything to add again? Thank you for all your help. I know about the mass being mandatory, but if I think at least like sanitizer and stuff that everybody can be handling the same target stands, the same staplers, doorknobs, bathrooms, you know, paper targets, all that. Everybody's gonna be handling the same stuff. So to me, I mean, we do the rules if we do open they because we don't have it here and it's hard to get so we probably have to supply their own. Fair enough. We'll get those rules dialed in for everybody, get them post on the website, maybe do an email blast and then try to get this soft open done as soon as we can. So anybody else, any other questions come up? Jake, I think I saw a question come across asking if we were going to credit the pro rata cost of the months we were closed to the memberships. Probably the easiest way to do that would be to just extend everybody's membership by one or two months or whatever it turns out to be, but that's something the board could certainly take up. Yeah, that hasn't come up, but it's a good question and we will definitely talk about that at the next meeting. So whoever brought that up, thanks. Shep, I wanted to see if Shep had anything to say or any comments, how things are looking, what kind of the positioning, anything like that? Or the one we really like, Lynn. So I love you, Shep. Love you. I hope to see you all soon. What about for the shutdown for the water? If it's that far out, do you have reservations on the books and whatnot at this point in time, or are you just kind of rolling with those right now? What's that situation look like? We're essentially just putting everyone on hold, because we don't know, as Hank explained the rules, we will still be shut down at that point. So it would depend on how long those rules stay in effect. So we don't really know at this point. I mean, obviously our time to make hay is June, July, August. That's our biggest times, and it will fall in that, and such it is. Yeah, I would just add a comment, I think is important that we keep in mind here. I know enough about this virus and infectious disease to know what I don't know. And frankly, that's a lot. Not a lot is known about this virus. My guess, and it is a guess, is we'll be dealing with this for 18 months until we get a vaccine. I think we're in trouble here, and we're going to have to, for certain members of the community, we're going to have to be really careful. So I think we're going to be under some common sense restrictions to try to mitigate the risk of transmission, and particularly community acquired transmission, probably for a period of 18 months, unfortunately. And to clarify, just so we have some good direction moving forward, should we, as the people we shoot with are not household members, should we just plan to shut down for 18 months? Well, I would hope not. That decision is going to be made by the virus, not by us. I think it depends on how things go. If we get a period of zero, one, two new infections per day, if the risk is low, I think then we ought to talk about what reasonable safety rules would be. But I'm not optimistic, frankly. I think we're going to see, not country-wide, but we'll see in certain areas flare-ups that will then be controlled. And it's going to be a hard 18 months. But our goal is to get you into operation, but I think we need to do so safely and in compliance with all laws and regulations. And just real quick, we'll make a huge effort in the next few days. We don't really have our next real board meeting isn't for a while, but for the group and for Len and Shep and for anybody, and with the rules, we need to get together sooner than later and get this styled in so that everybody can move forward. I mean, every minute something changes, there's some new thing, there's good news, there's bad news. But try to figure out something as good as we can so that people can start making good long-term decisions for themselves and for the club. Yeah, it just sucks. Bill? Yeah, I just, not that I'm just agreeing with Hank, but working in the medical profession, this is something that, working with a lot of the doctors and everything, this is going to be long-term. It's going to be a new normal. The coronavirus we've been trying to come up with a vaccine for years, it's just, it's one of those things that's going to mutate and everything like that. It's just going to come down to basic safety, cleaning your hands, things like that. High-risk people need to be careful. This is something from the professionals that I work with that it will be a long-term thing. This is not going to be over with in a month or something like that. We're just going to have to find a new normal, and I know you guys are working on new policies and things like that, something that we can work with, but like with SHEP, I think that there's situations, usually when he has a group come in, I know it's a little bit harder with the rifle bay, but like if they want to reserve shotgun bay, usually it's going to be a group of people that have already been together. They're either staying in a motel together, they're a family group. If he reserved that, you know, the coach could be masked, things like that, but those people are all good. I see where he could open up certain portions of it pretty easily. It's just going to be the new norm that we're going to have to clean things down, things like that, and that's just the way it's going to be. Any other comments or questions? I just got one thing. I read for a gun club, I think it's in Idaho, is open. I think they're in indoor range, so I might want to see what they're doing to stay open, and they're staying busy, so maybe finding out what they're doing to stay open and how they're handling it. I thought I saw a question come across, but I can't find it. Yeah, let's see. One more question on the back end of the question that Jake's iPad asked, not Jake Hansen. Will members be credited for close months? The comment or the question following that is, do you need volunteers for help? When we get to the point of this opening under these guidelines, I think it's going to be definitely needed because Jim is the range master and does a magnificent job, but helping eyeball people to remind them distance and things like that. If members are able to donate a few hours, especially in the public days, it's going to be a tremendous benefit to Jim, I believe, and Jim might tell me I'm crazy. Leave me alone, I'm going to go do what I want. Thank you for that offer, Jake. And then, let's see, from Scott Fossil to everyone, agree with Henry, some of us won't or can't shoot if people aren't willing to use the appropriate safe actions, i.e. masks. Those are the comments that you get to be addressed. Like I said, we'll get this discussion going, like Hank and Reverend Bodd put a lot of time into trying to figure out a way to get this thing open and make it safe and be able to do business and to shoot. So we'll get that in and we'll get that posted online and out to maybe an email blast and work with everybody that we can to again try to get back to some form of normal here. Any other questions or comments? We do have three board members that are up for election. It's Mark, Tom, and myself. If Mark and Tom are willing to put another two years, I am as well. So, I think Mark's nodding. Tom, are you in? I'm in. Any other nominations from the four questions or comments? Just assume that anybody says no, you should wave your hands a lot now. Otherwise, we'll move forward with what we have and we'll go from there. And so I don't have anything else. Really appreciate everybody coming and again, hope that in the next week or 10 days, we can actually be out doing something. Go ahead, Mr. Reverend. Mark, I'm sorry, Jake, are you? So just for clarification, across the eyes and dot the T's, the current three board members that are up for re-election are elected by acclamation. Yeah, yeah. I like that. Nobody said no, so we'll go ahead and move forward. Because the bank's going to have to put something down in the minutes. So yeah, fair enough. Yeah, we talked about election, but yeah, we just moved on. So yeah. Like I said, my first election was with four-year-olds and it didn't go well. Okay, guys. Well, thank you all again. We'll talk soon. Okay. Thank you, Hank and Jake. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Stay safe. Yes.

The following is a presentation of TFNN the morning market kickoff With your host Tommy O'Brien Morning everyone, this is Teddy Kekstead. I'm Philly in for Tommy O'Brien today and Today we have a lower outlook for the stock market We had a lower day yesterday right now everything with the futures is pointing towards a lower opening with the dial The S&P's and the Aztec both all three pointing lower Yesterday we had treasury yields that had definitely pushed into some higher territory as well as we have the energy sector Which is also causing a little bit of a spark in people's eyes right now wondering how high can oil go? So these are things that we're gonna look at as we get through the show today So those are the major things to look at there are some earnings that come out just before the opening as well as some after The opening nothing really too big so but these are things that we are starting out our day with and Now I'm going to take a look at the dollar index also We had a nice breakout there which is because of the way yields are moving and also because the way the energy sector is moving So we have very interesting things going in the markets to start this holiday week off Yesterday into today, but whenever you have a shortened week It's kind of we had how you have to compress five days of trading into four and we are definitely Doing that this week for sure with what's going on with the volatility So we have an interesting show some topics for you So we have the dollar index up like I said, we can see how that broke out I'm gonna pull up the euro US dollar to see what's going on with there right now And that market right now is pretty stable. So the dollar right now is Stabilizing after yesterday's strength Mostly due to the the euro and the pound and also because of the yield driven action that we have seen So we have some stocks that we can talk about today. We have Kevin Hinks coming up Hopefully I believe in about 10 minutes or so and hopefully he has some nice Little tips for you coming up as far as what to look for today So there's some stocks that I actually have been watching I'm going to pull up my little watch list real quick on my computer to show you what I've got. Let's see we have Let's see there we go. Okay All right, so one of the ones that I've been looking at is Nvidia That's something that I would take a look at as far as in the the tech sector And there's also something I also think you should take a look at right now because of the oil sector with the rally in oil Is transportation stocks? So for any of you tigers and tigers is out there that are in some of the real Companies out there not just the tech space in the the virtual space that's out there Obviously, those are the highest flyers and most talked about names But transportation stocks is something I would definitely start to lean on and keep your eye on as oil prices start to spike higher especially as we Breach this upper 80 area into the 90 era like 90 95 if we get up into that area over the next week or so I Think you really need to start to take a look at the transportation stocks. Remember we had Just a few months ago one of the largest trucking companies go belly up bankrupt one of the oldest companies also in the country and that was Something that I think people are taking a rather lightly and I don't think they're really taking it into account What's really going on in that sector and as the transportation costs go up? I think and also the cost of financing is going up That's being going to start to really squeeze those stocks I think that your profit margins especially in those core You know all those corporations is something that you're gonna really have to keep your eye on as we move forward Over the next few quarters. Are you gonna see it over the next couple months? Probably not There's always a lag when it comes to these types of things But I would definitely start to watch the transportation sector as we move forward through the the rest of the third quarter And definitely into the fourth quarter if you start to see Some issues in that sector, especially a drag Then I would really really start to pay attention to that because that's gonna have an impact on the overall S&P index So that's something that you really need to be pay aware pay attention to as in if that is correct The transportation starts to take a dive going into say like fourth quarter and into the first quarter of next year That's also going to start to really hit your your mid cap stocks as well And if that starts and once you start to see the the transportation sector and also if it starts to hits the mid caps especially in the Russell and indexes like that Overall, you're gonna probably see it influence a lot of your index funds and for many of you investors out there that you are either Trading stocks or investing in stocks. I'm sure you many of you have a portfolio that has Mutual funds and also index funds if you have index funds in your portfolios I think you really need to pay attention to what's going on in those sectors as we move forward into the next few quarters so That's one thing I wanted to leave you with a note on I figure right off the bat since this is an equity program to have some information for you there We have some other interesting topics that I'm gonna bring to light. I think that the sector Transportation's I know it's something that's kind of boring. You don't really talk about too much But hopefully it's something you take a little bit of an eye to As far as other things you need to take a look. I think you need to watch the Dow as well The Dow I know obviously over yesterday and today you have a little bit of a little negative tone Overall, I think that over the next Two to three weeks though I think that you really have to be kind of mindful of the the strength that's going on in the overall indexes We're heading into earning season right now And as we head into Ernie's signal That's also gonna probably give a lift to many of the stocks in the Dow and as well And it's in the S&P's so I think you're gonna have to keep a buy break forecast Even though yields right now are pushing their highs odds are is that yields are not gonna get that much higher Remember that yields are now pushing an area where they were just 12 or 10 months ago We've had a lot of interest rate hike since then so fair value as far as where yield should be on a pricing basis in the Cash and in the futures is right now and it's still at a discount compared to where it was just 10 months ago And that's something you need to be mindful of that even if we have the Fed raise for another one to two Maybe even three meetings Let's say we have a three-quarters of a point over the next you know six months by the Fed Which is possible since other central banks are definitely looking towards the hawkish end of the spectrum And if that is the case It's probably not gonna twist the Fed's arm, but you're most likely keep them in a still a hawkish manner, okay? So that's something I would be also very mindful as you move forward Especially if you're playing the long side in equity markets because this is still going to be a topic I know a lot of people think that the raise the raising is over the Fed has done They've done too much or what have you too quickly Made there's all kinds of opinions on that side of the fence But right now still there is no real reason to think that you're going to see a halt in the In the and the hiking and the hawkishness by the Fed especially with unemployment still and so unemployment really starts to Increase, you know, that's something that is I think you need to see happen If we see unemployment get it over four and a half to get to pushing five percent That's our target what they're looking for we're nowhere near that right now So that's something we still need to see what the one thing we do have That's going on is the other economic numbers that watch PPI and CPI as well Those numbers over the next three to four months I think are become very crucial as far as what the Fed will be doing and this is important for all you stock equity investors because obviously most equity investors have pretty much I think have it in their consensus that the Fed is it may not point It may not become dovish, but as far as being hawkish They're most likely going to pause Stock market then rocket equities and options report is a newsletter You should try Tommy O'Brien delivers options and equity trades when the markets present them using a combination of fundamentals and Technicles sign up for rocket equities and options report today with a 30-day money-back guarantee So you have nothing to risk for all the details and to start your subscription today Visit the front page of TFNN.com TFNN educating investors Everything in the universe is governed by the Fibonacci sequence This mathematical principle is responsible for everything from the most aesthetically pleasing artwork to patterns in the stock market To stay on top of stock patterns You can take advantage of sign up for the Fibonacci 24-7 newsletter at TFNN.com When you subscribe you'll get a weekly report from veteran day trader Larry Pezzavento on stocks You need to pay attention to and you can trust Larry's analysis after all He's got 45 years experience as a day trader Larry will also provide daily charts Videos and data on the key markets that he's tracking Expect notifications from Larry on market movement You need to act on at any time first-time subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee If you're not satisfied, let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up Subscribe to the Fibonacci 24-7 newsletter today TFNN.com educating investors Steve Rhodes started his trading career as a student almost 20 years ago and the student has now become the master Steve won the prestigious timer of the year award in 2018 and barely missed that mark again in 2019 Finishing at number two for the year an amazing accomplishment Steve Rhodes is committed to sharing his techniques and knowledge with anyone who wants to learn and he shares his vast amount of trading knowledge Every day in his mastering probability newsletter Steve's award-winning newsletter Mastering probability is delivered every trading day with updates throughout the afternoon sign-up perceives market newsletter mastering probability and you'll receive access to seven of Steve's educational webinars Absolutely free at TFNN.

This is teddy kek stuff filly in for tommy o brian And I believe we should have kevin hanks on the air with us now as well Are you there kevin? Good morning. Yes. I'm here. Thank you Great to have a chance to talk with you today. So kevin. Tell me what are your thoughts about today's trading? We have a shortened week. It's always kind of compressing. You have to deal with some crazy stuff in a four-day work week What are you looking at today? What do you what do you like? Yeah, I think what's dominating some of the early morning headlines is crudall prices and Well, we've been talking about over here That we knew crudall prices. We're going to start showing up in some data and in some companies and sure enough three airlines come out with announced You know united airlines alaska air and southwest all coming in with The fact their crudall price their energy their energy prices for jetpool have jumped 20 percent In july so you've got the airlines all lower to start the day you've got You know before indices lower to start Making a little bit of a snapback after a real week day yesterday. So, you know Charles robb has put out some data September is a very One of the more bearish months historically of the year hedge funds are increasing their short positions in the overall market Some I we expect Canada's The bank of canada to keep rates that's coming out at 10 o'clock eastern They'll keep rates unchanged. So things like that. It's very thin week for economic data It's a very thin week for earnings But the market will continue to move and headlines will still dominate. I think crudall Is fully but surely take over some of the discussions in the markets because let's face it Energy prices have to show up somewhere either in inflation or in earnings, you know It's good for the energy sector But pretty much bad for every other sector of the economy that that uses energy Well, you know what kevin? It's funny because I just before you came on the show I was talking about to the uh tigers and tigers is that they should watch the Transports over the next three to four months now. I'm an s and p guy Transports are definitely one of the parts sectors that you watch in the s and p's and with the spike in oil in a way That's trending. I agree with you 100 percent that These are the things that people need to be very mindful of because that could definitely put a big drag on the s and p's And and also the even the rustle and stuff as we move into the fourth quarter and towards the end of the year What do you think about that? Yeah, I I think you have to watch the different parts, you know, we're through Second quarter earning season the majority, right? We've got a couple big names to come up here to go But we're through the majority the lion's share of earning season So You know, this is the market all year that has basically defined what all the the prognosticator said, right? People thought it would be a bumpy first half of the year and then Queer sailing for the second half of the year. Well, that didn't turn out very well The first half of the year was we went gangbusters to the upside. So now what right? I think right how is close to being done with interest rates I don't think he wants to go higher But I think he'll wait for the data to tell him we get cpi on the 13th a fed meeting on the 19th and 20th where they'll Most people say it's a pretty much unanimous that they're going to pause and wait for more data But you know, what is on the horizon for this market? It's hard to say because I've been doing this a while and some things are on the calendar that could surprise you something I agree with you 100 percent, especially with the data that they're looking at, you know, like I mean you look at especially with the spike in oil and many of the I think that Honestly, as we move forward over the next four to six to 12 months that the cpi and indexes like are numbers like that Are you come very valuable as far as where we're moving with as far as the Fed and what they're going to do You know, they do have a mission that they lay down that they're still trying to Act on, you know, and if we have inflationary data that starts spiking again as we move forward into the rest of the year It's going to be really hard for them to just be on a pause, you know And especially with other central banks, like you mentioned the bank of canada probably is not going to pull the trigger But you have things especially in germany and the eu their economy is collapsing and the currency also You know, I mean, I know in the short run it's making new lows against the dollar and that doesn't mean very much because the trend is pretty extreme But if if they don't pull the trigger, you know, it's going to just exacerbate what's going on with them And I think that it's very unlikely that the boe, you know, and also the ecb are not going to Do some sort of hawkishness, you know in the future, especially in the next like at least two to three months You know, and I think that's going to push the feds arm too because they're going to want to keep that balance What do you think about that? Do you think that's going to strong arm them a little bit or no? Yeah, I think there's a problem that We're I don't you you can make any case for being done You can make case for one more maybe in november, but we're closer to being done europe They're not close to being done christian ligard has been very clear Their fight against inflation continues We're not over fighting inflation, but we're closer to being done. Jerome paul's got rates Where he thinks they're Restrictive enough one of his comments at the march meeting was only got rates restrictive But they haven't been here very long So i think Jerome paul thinks he's gone far enough with rates. I don't think christian ligard They're they were later than us fighting inflation and they haven't fought as hard as we have fighting inflation So yeah, that could be a big disruptor then you've got china, which is such a part of our Uh our economy they're tied whether we want them to be or not and china is throwing everything at the wall trying to stimulate their economy And frankly if the numbers continue to come in weak, so Europe is going to be an issue So yeah, all these things are going to add up and we affect march. So I think Yeah, I I totally agree with you and especially the china numbers too and you know I think that what you're seeing with china too is reflectionary I remember when we had the the great recession of 2008 You know china was like less than a year away from having some really harsh economic woes I mean when we slowed down and the rest of the world slowed down And I think it's starting to show in china that you know if we're not doing well in the united states And if the eu is not doing well China is not doing well They don't do well unless we're doing well when we slow down They slow down right, you know, it's kind of a direct reflection at least that's my point of view on that one Right, we'd love to say that we're by ourselves and we're the leader and you can make a case We are the leader but they're all connected whether we want them to be or not Right, right. Absolutely. I agree with you 100% so But uh, yeah, definitely. It's very great talking to you today Is there one last note on anything you want to talk about people should look out for any special stocks to watch any potential volatility big movers you're thinking The we're going to cover today on today's Well, name stop that has earnings coming out of develop today. It's it's not a great name But it's a name that certainly trades a lot and we'll cover both of those today Great, great. Sounds very good. Sounds very good. Thank you very much.

We've had an interesting first half hour a great interview with kevin hanks in the last segment and Typically tommy brings me in and a few would normally be in a few minutes For the forex little interview on wednesday So i'm going to get into that do a little forex freestyle Wednesday action for you as we get through the halfway part of the show with the stock market just opens So we'll digest its opening and then we'll get to that in a little bit All right, so us dollar canadian dollar kevin hanks brought up the fact that we have the bank of canada That may or may not be acting today I will see what happens with them and the expectations As he said is that they will be not doing absolutely nothing So i would expect as you can see the us dollar canada is kind of in a neutral trade dollar right now is A little mixed a little stronger. It's a little weaker. We'll get into that as we cover the other currency crosses So but right now you see the the canada did make a higher move high today It came into our hitter upside target level yesterday and right now We're bobbling right here around this level around 136 51 area I think that as yields especially today, they're pulling back a little bit slightly lower as they're lower and as certain As some of the other major currencies start to have a little bit of a profit taking bounce against the dollar And I would believe that the canada is probably going to be one of them also It's been obviously in an aggressive bear a bull trend still making a higher move highs and higher move lows with newer higher Move highs over the last two days Yeah, but right now I think you're getting into a very toppy area Is is the trend over i'm not even remotely going to go there on that one But I think in the short run we are hitting a buffer of resistance where Things are probably going to get very spiky as if it does make a higher move high I'd be very cautious buying into these highs right now And I would also be very cautious selling into them right now I would wait for a signal if we do see a big pull back in yields Then I think you could see a nice turn turn towards support for at least a profit taking break We had a nice key swing low that was made last week and now once again We've made a higher move high the trend is in place We could be setting up for some big sideways, especially after the meeting today Not a lot of expectations until after that meeting is over for this currency cross Now we have some other ones that are some moving and shaking. So we have the us dollar c h f The swissie look at that we had a nice breakout that happened yesterday and now we have some follow through now This is a mover The the dollar index was very strong yesterday in part mostly because of the euro slamming new lows and because of the bridge pound Those have the bigger weights in the dollar index. However, the swiss has been Although it's been an uptrend has been in a grind. I mean you can see by the chart like I'll tell you what if you were Even a bull I would be hard pressed to see how well you did being long unless you just sat on a position and fell asleep over the past like month and a half If you tried to short it you had opportunities that's for sure But not very long and not much opportunity at that, you know, we've been making higher move highs and higher move lows But on a very sideways basis until we broke out this week interestingly enough on a short week Monday it was closed we were wedging and then boom Tuesday and now wednesday We're heading up towards this upside correction zone. Um, this area. I think we'll buffer The strength over all the u.s. Dollar swiss Even if even if the dollar was to remain strong over the next three four six months As a whole this market is in a cell rally forecast that swiss is much stronger than the dollar This current rally that's been going on for the past month and a half should be viewed as a correction At least right now that on a long term and short term basis It has every indication of only being that so I think that when we do get into this area here of this upside correction zone That we're going to start to run into a big wall. I mean you can see how how hard it was I mean in august we had gotten up towards this 88 even area But for us to get across 88 75 to get three quarters of a buck higher It took us all all month to touch it fall back and then finally breach that area That that's that resistance is starting to really weigh on this market And that's because the overall trend is that way So I would definitely be careful For any bullish sentiment out there look for these rallies to sell into now I would be very careful buying into this move And once you have a valid sell signal I think you're going to have a good chance of getting a nice corrective move because at least that is a trend trade It would not be a counter trend trade because the overall trend once again is a bear All right, british pound u.s. Dollar. Let's take a look at this one We made new lows yesterday and once again, we made new lows again today The 125 94 directional pivot level that you can see Sustained trading below there keeps this market really bearish Obviously this is boosting the dollar strength right now Without yields necessarily driving the trade like they did yesterday And the day prior actually last week So but right now with all the economic woes there Unless the bank of vagland england starts to Would take some aggressive hawkish action. I think this trend is pretty much locked in place You're right now. It's short term. Obviously it is a bear Intermediate it's kind of a sideways trade Longer term you could say it was it's somewhat positive, but not really anymore I let once again unless the bank of England starts to get aggressively hawkish Do I think they're going to Do something over the next three to four months? Absolutely. I do. Do I think they're going to be aggressive? No, I don't. I think they're pretty much out of bullets and they don't have the ability to Put that kind of a stranglehold on their economy They were behind the curve Starting out as Kevin Hanks had pointed out earlier on the show Which I totally agree with and now they're in a situation where They're just throwing gasoline on the fire and I If that is the case, there's going to be most likely a reluctancy to Raise rates or be very hawkish, which would help support their currency So do I think that the the bridge pound is going to get real severely beaten down? No, absolutely not What I do believe that a bear trend is now in place And I would be very cautious, especially like should we get a balance? Should we get back above this directional pivot level at 125 94? Absolutely, can we get back to this 128 75 to pushing 129 above that area a dollar 29? Excuse me Yes, I think that's very very likely that we could see a spike there, especially if we were to have an indication of a longer term pause by the us fed Over the next couple of meetings if that consensus starts to really grow in that factor In that outlook then I think yes, you could see the the pound us dollar trade back up towards this area Do just because of those fundamental reasons? This I think would be the extreme though I even Unless we were to have some really long-term outlook where for instance We not only were in a we were in a pause, but there was some thought that there are us fed with cut rates Say the beginning of next year, which I don't think we're in that situation because the fed is not hitting It's all of its targets that it needs to or wants to For what it was why it was raising rates to so aggressively in the way they have over the last year So unless they change that I don't see that we're going to see anything like that So now it's time for a break I think or maybe not So maybe I'm off by a minute there So um, so anyhow, that's the british pound us dollar and I'm gonna go on now to the us dollar jpy So, um, there we go Sorry my watch is a dies a minute off You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market You're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future, right?

This is teddy kexta filling in for tom o bryan. Uh, we had left uh Covering a couple of currencies. I'm going to cover a couple more before I jump into some equities again So, uh, we're talking about oil earlier in the show Kevin hanks had mentioned it also about the new uh higher move highs that we have the breakout to the upside And as far as uh, everyone's looking at it like hey, the bull is back Well, one of the currencies that are influenced by oil is the us dollar yen trade interestingly enough Oil is slightly lower a little profit taking break to start the day off and the us dollar yen is doing the same Is there a direct reflection constantly in the market? No, but there is there is a little bit of that influence ironically We have the dollar is very strong in some of the major currencies and uh In this market the dollar is actually kind of weak. It's an interesting that you know Many people would say why is the us dollar yen of all currencies not riding the trend like the against the dollar Like the other currencies especially, you know with uh, you know yields only pulling back a little bit and oil pulling back a little bit Well, that tends to be the case a lot of times where uh, you know Even if the the overall trend is uh, dollar strength, uh in the us dollar yen on a daily basis There's a lot of diversions many times when you'll have the euro of the pound and other currencies Falling against the dollar and they are rallying against the dollar and the us dollar yen will be uh Actually doing the opposite And then conversely right now where the other currencies are falling to the dollar and you have the us dollar yen which is pulling back So, uh, interesting. It's actually fundamentally doing what is very normal today So a slightly lower trade after a higher move high breakout yesterday Are interesting enough. Uh, we had a head and shoulders kind of forming now We can kind of just move this shoulder and head not like that's something you do all the time But in this case it is getting a little bit toppy and especially with the potential for yields to have a nice pullback It wouldn't be out of line to have a correction in the us dollar yen And especially if we do get at least a short term Reprieve in the uh, the strength and oil, which why wouldn't we have that happen? Check the messages in the tiger chat. Okay, so I guess I missed there's um Uh, okay, let's see. We got some messages here. I'm pulling it up right now Sorry guys. I gotta get all the way down to the thing, okay pltr Okay, check out this one. Um, all right mara. Okay. So here we have a we have a request. All right So we're gonna jump away from this and go to pltr All right palenter technologies. So obviously you want to know, um, what do I think about this one? Uh, we'll see what we've got going on here. We have a nice little range trade situation slightly higher higher move highs here Um, we'll pull up a little Do a little fib here. Let's see what's going on. All right. Well interestingly enough you had the point three two Uh, we have a tiger tiger collar on the chat. Okay, so let me just finish this one real quick You had this higher move high that pierced the point three eight two So for you who was wondering about pltr, I would key off this high right here And also be mindful of this last low here if you're if you're looking for a trade here If you're gonna have a stop, this would be a very key risk area You wouldn't want to be long below here because the overall trend here Longer term is bearish short term. It is a bull making higher move highs So if we get a breakout, especially of the 1636 area, I think you would probably get a good chance to get Not just the 1691 but probably up towards the 1775 area This would be an area where I would look to take some profits on that one. Um, okay So we have a caller. I believe um, you guys connect me if and see if I can get the audio and hear the question Yeah, hello Hi, how you doing? Yeah, hi. Hi, um Can you it's a forex question. Can you look at the u.s. Dollar vis-a-vis the polis walti pl Something something has suddenly changed Like in the last hour or so, um, the the polis walti has just collapsed Okay, what's the uh, so the u.s.d. What is the other three letters possible? Um, possible, uh Conflict with biliruth, maybe or russia or something because something this walti just changed Okay, um, what's do you know what the other three letters are for this so I could pull up the chart? So it's us dollar I'm sorry. US dollar slash pln pln, okay Okay, so we have us dollar pln. Yeah, we have a very big bullish breakout here. Let me pull up this Let's see if we have anything On this note, there's nothing there um, let's see Nothing there. Okay. So as far as news, I don't know you definitely have a big breakout here For sure. Let me take a look at this on the monthly Um, yeah, that's it. Okay. Yeah, you yeah, okay So yeah, just in the past a couple of days you've had almost as much of a range as you had all last month Now you did have last month this would ended last week for august this right here Is a bullish and golfing line. So technically now, I don't know what's going on in the news I would have to look into some outlets to check on that. I haven't looked at Reuters or anything this morning So if if there is a news driven thing now that is very possible With the Ukrainian conflict and everything that's going on. I do know that On the because of the refugees that they've taken on and a bunch of other things It's putting a strain on their economy in a big way I don't know if they had any economic numbers that came out this morning. I can pull up uh, let's see There's Yeah, there's nothing on this here that would indicate that so okay. So as far as any anything like that I don't know technically we ended the month of august. This is a bullish and golfing line So just on that basis alone now. It's a big pop in two day in just five days of trading here That made me you want to call you okay, because you're your current specialist on tf&m Uh, I'm trying to figure out what is this a precursor to war Well, that is what I was just going to get at is that with the strain on their economy if it is a precursor to What could happen meaning that our troops would end up going to poland Um, that would mean that you're probably going to see that you could probably see this all the way back at its Highs within the next couple of weeks literally if that's the case Okay Yeah, so that's something I would be very mindful of it You could this is the kind of situation that would have the currency move that quickly for sure I mean the war cost pocket change would collapse Huh, uh, it would it would definitely put them under severe strain because the the last thing that poland really needs Is to be involved with the war with russia I mean, we're going back to you're talking about something that would be bringing us back to 30 40 years ago You know, um and this is that the piece is important there monthly an upside target Uh an upside target absolutely so short run I think that easily you could get up to this the 50 percent mark There's no reason why on a move like this. You already point past the 0.236 in just five days So for the market to get up to this 435 area $4.35 very reasonable, but I think the 449 50 percent mark very very Very easily could get hit Uh, I mean if if it wasn't for an interview is driven I would say it would take another couple of months most likely to get there But with a move like this in five days if it really is something that we're going to head towards You're probably going to see that in the next like three to four or five weeks Okay, okay, and if it takes out that 50 percent we go back to um, October's high I I think you can come close to it for sure I'll be watching it The gold report As a precious metal gold is still king It continues to hold the most effective safe haven and hedging properties across the global major trading hubs of the london otc market The us futures market and the shanghai gold exchange The gold report Tom o'brien publishes his weekly gold report every monday morning for subscribers Consisting of coverage of the xa u hui gdx the dollar bonds the south african rand As well as 25 different mining equities with specific buy sell recommendations The gold report New subscribers get a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to risk subscribe To tom o'brien's gold report newsletter now at tfnn.com You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market You're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future, right?

That's tfnn.com and hit watch tiger tv This is teddy kekstop filling in for tommy o bryan We still have a couple minutes left in the show It's been a great topic today and we just had a fantastic question by a caller about the us dollar and versus the polish The us dollar poll at pln Trade with what's going on rule of love herring having questions like that interactions like that as well So we do have one someone in the chat who asked about e-poll and I need to go cover this real quick Obviously this market slamming the lows you came off a key high here overall. It's a bear I think if you're looking for a buying area, it's so going to be probably around this 17 14 down to about the $16 area for the ice shares here If you're looking for a buy if you're bullish and you think that this market the ice shares is going to take a turn Overall right now. I'd be very cautious with that because it isn't a bear trend. So you'll be taking a counter trend trade Right now. I would say probably if anything you should look if you're already long You had to take profits and then look to buy back in if that's the kind of thing you're looking at So anyhow, uh, some things we covered today were uh, fantastic topics Um, we in the last example I gave uh, there was a Japanese candlestick pattern That uh gave me a reason for why it should be bullish in the short run If you're interested in learning how you can use, uh, Japanese candlestick patterns in stock and option trades We did in a webinar recently you can find that on the TFNN website and we have another Webinar coming out as well Check out TFNN.com if you like the things that I cover today And want to learn more about uh, these things that I use in my trading is when how to apply them for equities and options Check it out. Um, and uh, definitely I want to thank uh, TFNN for having me on helping Tommy out today I'll be on next Monday September 11th irony That's a day in the stock and equity markets let alone American history that none of us can forget I was on the trading floor at the uh, cme when that when the when the planes hit I'll be bringing up some stories about, um, you know that event besides covering the markets on that day. So Uh, definitely, hopefully, uh, you'll have some interesting questions too from my callers out in there from your tigers and Tyress's so, um, I want to thank you once again. You guys have a wonderful trading day. All right. Take care

The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at 727-873-7618. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Okay, looking good, folks, feeling good. Let's take a quick look here at the Swedish Krona. This is going back over 17 years. The gentleman has been doing business starting in 2023. He's been paid in Swedish Krona, and they've been in a very bearish market for seven years. They've been in a recession for at least five, and we can see it at least six through here. And now we've made a beautiful bottom. Now, he was paid down in this area here at the 0-9 level, and now it's trading at, it's up 10% on that. This is a very bullish chart, folks. You got three drives to a bottom pattern. You've got a major ABCDs completing, and my suggestion was him is, look, if it gets back to break even, you cash out, and go back into British Bounds, but I think you could get a rally here of 30-40% up into this area, and so he would get a big bonus if he holds on, and it does what it says it does. But this is a very bullish pattern here at the, and not only that, but you almost, you have a double bottom in here. So that tells me that you want to be long to Swedish Krona. I mean, not many people want to do that, but the pattern says that's what you should be doing. Okay, let's move on to talk about some of the things that are in the market today. There's a big move going on in Copper. We've already talked about that, but I wanted to bring one other one up here that we've been in for quite a while. Now, this is the corn that we talked about. Remember, nobody wanted to buy corn when it was down here. We had the pullback right here. It was a 382 pullback, and boom, away it went. There was our price objective. You can see that it made a nice little three-drive pattern. It's coming down a little bit. So what we're going to be doing now is watching this number. This ended around the February 20th. Okay, so it was well about three and a half weeks ago. So what we'd like to see is a nice APCD pattern pulling down in corn here over the next few weeks. So far it's down today, but not very much. The same is true in wheat, and the same is true in the soybeans. We both have those on our watch list, and they're acting relatively well. Okay, now let's move on here for just a second, and I wanted to get another one up here that people have been asking me about. Okay, we have to do this one, folks. I made a $2 bet on this. I never bet on the markets, but this is the AI program, folks. If you'd like to have a trade that you might want to try, here is the ABCD right here. There's where the timing. There was the low of the day. There's supposed to be the high of the day, and it's making the high of the day. And look at the number. One, three, nine, six, seven, four. The high has been three, nine, six, seven, two. So it's right in the ballpark, and the risk is above here somewhere, about 100 points. So that's what we're watching. I shouldn't even have brought that up. Well, yes, I should have. This is what my job is here. Okay, we're going to look over here now with the Treasury bots. Remember, we had this really nice pattern in here on that four-hour chart. Remember, we'll just remind everybody we had the beautiful one, three, five pattern. Look at the rally over yesterday on the third, well, today's early morning rally in the middle of the night. Just missed the 3-8-2 retracement by one pip, and now it's starting to come down. Now we are getting very close. Okay, now going back to the big low, back here on the 22nd. Look where we're sitting at now, folks. We're just right here at the 3-8-2 level right now. So this is a spot here where I don't want to be too bearish at this level, but I don't have any other reason other than the 3-8-2 to get in this, and if you sold it up here at this level right here, folks, that's a significant amount of money from here to here is $2,500. So let's just do this on a daily. I think you'll see it even clearer. There it is right there. There's where we're coming down right now, and this is what we're looking at. You can see the beautiful symmetry here. Okay, there's your 618. There's your 50%. 24 days over, 24 days over, and now we're down 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days. We're going to blow this up one more time, and you can see we're sitting just about at the 3-8-2 level, and that is, in fact, it's trading right there right now at 1, 2016. The low has been 120.05. So I would suggest taking profits in here, and then we'll see what happens to the next leg of this. But this is a completed pattern. The profit objective has been met. The things that we look for as far as ratios and pullbacks have been fulfilled, and your risk went from 20 points. You made three times that, and so you want to go to the bank and at least cash in some money. Sure, it might go down some more, but we're in the business of cashing checks here, and especially when it's not our money, and that's what we're looking at here in the Treasury bonds, okay? So that's another one that we're looking at. Bob Miner will be our guest here at the break, and one second here, I want to show a few other charts that are very interesting here. We're having a big move here in two things that I want to point out, and that is the, hold on one second here, that is the gold. Okay, now we had a really, this is a 60-minute gold chart. And last night, I said, we were looking at a 382 retracement here, and I said, I prefer to do this one right here. And we have, look what happened. It hit it exactly, dropped $9, and then went back and made a new high. Folks, gold is acting very, very bullish. I mean, it's really acting bullish. So I think we have to pay attention to that. Now, this trade would have been a break-even trade, but that's the one that we were watching very, very closely, because if you're risking $5, and then you make $8, the worst would happen is you would have broke even. And if you looked at it on a really short-term basis, let's just say a little bit, look what happened here. See, there was the original sell right here, and the market brought from 77 down to 69, dropped $8. Okay, then it starts to take off. Here was your key spot. You see that spot right there? This is why, let me get this out of the way here. This is why this is so very, very important. This takes just about 10, just about an hour, one hour pullback. Okay, now, if it's really bullish, and this was the low right back here, which it was because that gave you that high, this should be a 3-8-2. And if you mark that from there to there, bada bing bada boom. And folks, you see these all the time. I'm going to be covering these like a textbook and a Bible, I guess when I do these live trading thing coming up here in April sometimes, we're going to be looking at a lot of these interdates because they're really, really powerful. And they give you a lot of things moving in your direction, whether it's either up or down, you can really use 3-8-2. But you've got to understand how they work. They only work in really strong trending markets. And that's in fact what we've been having today and we're having the same thing happening in gold, all right? Okay, let's move on here to the, well, we know what we should do since we're watching this. Let's get this up here. We've got a break coming, but I've got to watch this because I just told people to do something. Yeah, there's the number here. The sale was folks at 39674, okay? And the high has been 39675. So you sell it at 39675 and you only have to risk 50 points, $250. Because if it gets above here, you don't know I have anything to do with it, okay? Now going back to the same thing that we're just talking about, this is the 9.30 in the morning low, okay? Now if my theory is correct, what do you think this would be? Let's just test it out, Larry.

Now remember folks, when you see a buck and a half in crude oil, that's equivalent so that's a big move. But when you have a really strong trending market, the first thing you want to look for is the 382 retracement. So you go from your high down to your low, there it is, perfect, okay? And what does that lead to? It leads to an A, B, CD to the downside. So if you follow that, you'll see A, B right here and you'll see CD right here and there's the low. Now it makes a lower low here but before it does that, look at that. It goes right up and makes a 382 retracement off of this one and then that yields to what we were looking at today that we covered in the video was to watch for an A, B, CD to the upside right here which we did, okay? And you'll notice that we'll just draw it in so you'll be able to see it. Hold on, Eric get this puppy working. There's your A, B leg. There's your CD leg. Now it went a tiny bit higher 79, 29. Two things that we do is we measure the 1.628 expansion of that move because that gets you to the promised land which is 79.54. What does it do? It drops almost $800 and where does it stop? Exactly 382 off of this and what is that telling us? Get ready, Mr. Putin because you're going to be charging more for your oil pretty soon. It looks like because this thing looks like it's ready to go. All it needs to do is get above this. If you look this on the daily, you'll see it that all we have to have here. There was your 382 off of this one. It went to 0.43. Let's see what the difference between those two numbers were in dollar amounts. The 382 comes in at 24. It was with $500. Yeah, $500. Well, actually $450 of the exact low. Now if we start cleaning above here this is going to be really bullies, folks because we've had an ABCD here a really positive move to the upside. So we've got to watch that one. That's got to be really interesting one, you know, to pay close attention to now. Another one that we want to be watching is the cattle market and I believe we've been I'll just get this up here. So we'll be able to see what we've been waiting to sell that up around the 190 level. This is the April cattle will be switching over to the December here who were getting close. We got there the other day on the 8th, but it didn't get filled. So we're still watching that one. Hold on a second here. See, we missed that one by I think just a few pennies. What we were watching here is this larger pattern here going back to the 15th of February and then this went up into this area right here. You see, we had our order setting in here right above here. There's 90 971. We've been to 9004. So we're still looking at that and I think we're going to get that in the next day or two. This is one of the things that we'll be watching. You've got drive one right here. OK, you got drive two right there and drive three should be right there and that will complete the whole package and that boys and girls is your Christmas day opening price of 1907 2.9. Anyway, that's what it should be going to. And there's also another one in here over the last three days. You'll be able to see that we have another one that's going to get you right up into that promised land too. So be prepared for cattle. They're going to be ready to have a pretty nice move to the downside. Going back and looking at cattle, I always like to bring this up when you have some winners that line up pretty nice. But look at the look at the drives to the bottom here folks, the three eight twos all the way down the beautiful three drive to a bottom that occurred right on the bottom down there at that 165 level. We got out of it a little too soon. Well a little more than a little too soon. We got out of it up in here 184. And with that was still a nice move and we're hopefully that it'll continue to show some promise into the future. Okay, now let's take a look at that trade that we put on here for the old boys and girls here. Okay, we should did we get filled? Yeah, you would have you would have been filled at one excuse me 39 674 behind it hit 39675. So we'll figure that hasn't been filled yet but it should get filled. Well Yeah, it should get filled 39674 and then your stop would be 74. So you only going to risk a 39702 you're going to risk $150 on that. That's all you're going to risk no more than that. So that'll keep you into the game for the next time we have something like this lined up. And that's what we're watching for if we blow this up on a three minute. And I know these are many but this is how Mandelbrot did his work with ABCD as you can see here's where we are again. And there's that 382 I believe let's just mark that off and see if that was the same one we were looking at. Yep, there was right there right within one tick. Here's where we are right now that means we're going to go just a tiny we're right in the zone here. We're probably going to get some type of a pretty good retracement here taking the last low to the last high. We're there. Yeah, this is it. You see the stops here or it's it's toast. That's really all you're looking at. So if that happens you just stand aside and wait and see what happens with the next one. Now we had believe it or not we had another question about Bitcoin and now we'll get that up here. Oh, you know what Bob Minor is going to be talking to us about Bitcoin here pretty soon and I'm not involved with Bitcoin. I haven't been I don't plan to be believe it or not my son-in-law and daughter-in-law long time ago. I'm talking 2017 someone over in the UK told me to buy some stuff I said I did and I told them to buy it and they did they're very happy they think it was my idea but frankly I can't take it can't take credit to that. Alright let's move on here to the next one here that we want to look at which is everyone seems to be asking about Tesla and everybody's worried about Mr. Oh too I've got to look at sorry folks got to do this quickly because I got to get this in Tesla still going lower folks see it's still making new lows this is not a good sign remember on the daily chart it said nope this 382 retracement couldn't even make it that means we're heading lower and we still heading lower the next one that's really important here is this one here which is the semiconductor Taiwan semiconductor business okay you can see here's another one here this is an hourly chart and notice here we had this big move up and the big break but remember we pointed this out yesterday where did it rally back to end of story Morning Glory right there and that stopped it so far the other one that is really big and it's in the news all the time is micro strategies I'm bringing these up because when these things fall down and go you know to Florida for vacation you're going to see why they did it and you can use some of this where is TSMR MSTR there it is micro strategy this one was up to be supposed to be up 16% today and it looks like it is here it is it's still going crazy to the upside now let's try 3.82 to see if it works here was the 26th low at 700 we had a high here at 1350 let that folks I haven't looked at this chart before I'm just looking at it the first time well it goes a little below 3.82 has a run here and a little bit of a pullback now that's big enough to that is big enough to measure so you have to take a look there's your low right here there's your high there's your exact 3.82 oh dear look where we are now we're 1.618 do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Bob Minor coming up don't miss it Gold Report as a precious metal gold is still king it continues to hold the most effective safe haven and hedging properties across the global major trading hubs of the London OTC market the US futures market and the Shanghai Gold Exchange Gold Report Tom O'Brien publishes his weekly Gold Report every Monday morning for subscribers consisting of coverage of the XAU HUI, GDX The Dollar, Bonds, the South African Rand as well as 25 different mining equities with specific buy sell recommendations The Gold Report New subscribers get a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to risk Subscribe to Tom O'Brien's Gold Report newsletter now at TFNN.com Currencies, commodities and bond markets are as important as ever right now with how they're driving the volatility in equity markets across the globe which is why it's a great time to try out Teddy Kegstad's Tiger Forex Report.

I like Breezeville just fine. I know it's beautiful areas. John Hill lived near there, but Bob used to live about a mile and a half west of me, and he was known as Bubba East, and I was Bubba West, and I see the Global Trading Championship. You were the only member here in the USA that finished in the money, and they did incredibly well, 156 percent. Was that a monthly figure or was that for the whole year? Yeah, when we're monthly we probably wouldn't be talking. That was for the whole year. Let me question you, Bob, here. This first guy, number one, is Sadadan Casabel. I'll lay out six to five that that was a bit cryptocurrency trading. Do you know anything about the guy? I don't. I can't even pronounce his name, let alone know what he did. I took either. I was just guessing. This is what you've been doing these for years, too. You've always been right up there, haven't you? Yeah, the last five or six years I did the futures and the forex. And each, I think every year in the last five or six years, I've been either double to triple digits in forex or in futures. So kind of the reason I do those is to show people that, you know, I do do an advisory court as some educational material that I actually trade and trade successful. These are, of course, real money, real time returns. So that it's, you know, a lot different than just an advisor. If I look at everything from a practical trade strategy standpoint. Okay. Now we'll start out. We'll look at the election cycle that you're looking at here. Then what we'll do is we'll look at Bitcoin and in the gold stuff. And then we want to talk about your book towards the end of the show. Okay. Super. Okay. Go right ahead with our election year's average Democrats only. What does that mean? Well, this year it's a Democratic president. So I just completed and released a few weeks ago, my election cycle book in the stock market. And I really break down all of the years into different groups, including for instance, if the incumbent is a Democrat, we look at it differently than if the incumbent is a Republican because they have significantly different returns than one of the other. So this particular chart that you're seeing, we have four different averages on it. And we have all of the election years since 52. And then we have those election years that were just with a Democratic president. We have those election years that were just with a first term president, which this year is the case. And then we have the election years of the first term Democrats. So they all kind of have the same trend, both in general as well as throughout the years. So there's not a great difference, but it's a difference in the returns depending on what group you're looking at. Yeah, you know, I'm looking at this and you're talking about that. I don't want to get into the politics, but I remember when Nixon was going through his really bad period, he kept saying, I am not a crook. I am not a crook. Right. I don't want to go into it, but when I saw that, I said, guys, this guy's really tried to do. He did some great things through China, of course, but when you have a president say that, that's pretty tough. Let's move on to the next one, Bob, which is everybody seems to have an interest in it, but very few people trade it that I know of. Oh, please don't tell me you're going to do that to me. Hold on just a second. I've got to go to step one, get it up here to get the rights. You know how technically oriented I am. So here's our Bitcoin chart and tell us what you're looking at. Just give us the high time and price within 10 minutes. That's all we're asking for. Okay, well, I can do it within 30. Okay, good. Well, we'll stick with that chart. This is the Bitcoin weekly chart. The main lesson from this chart, I think anyway, is that we're kind of in the initial stages of this full trend. However, I think we're really close, maybe even within days or a week or two, completing a top that's going to last for several weeks or so. I just did a 16-page report for subscribers on Bitcoin, and particularly around the halving. As you know, there's this what's called the halving in mid-April. And the reactions that are typically against the halving, and just I'll give you the bottom line, is typically after a halving is that a market sideways, that Bitcoin is sideways down for four to six weeks. So it's about four to six weeks after this halving is when the real opportunity is going to come, I believe. Right now, we're right out of time and price and momentum cycle target, or at least a high that last several weeks. Bob, I know you're a really smart guy, and you've done a lot of research and stuff. I want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer it. If you don't, that's not a big deal. Do you think this is, you think this is Tulip city, or is this a real deal? Well, let me react to that in a couple of ways. One is Bitcoin, you know, is just an imaginary market. It has no fundamentals, it has no utility, but people will bet foreign against it. So, and there's a big market to do that. So we're not in Tulip, Mania yet. I suspect in the second half of this year, we may be. So, the next section up is what in other wave terms we call the final section of wave five. And because we're just broken above, lightly, or we're testing, I think those, what is it, 2021 major swing highs, is that a retracement and a break above it could bring in a lot of buying. And we could be buying Tulips, yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, well, I haven't been involved in it very few. Well, a couple of people I know have been involved in it and done relatively good. Well, first of all, they don't know how to go short, which is a real blessing for them, you know. Probably so, yeah. Okay. Now, you can keep in mind, there's a lot of ETFs now. They can get in and out pretty quick. Oh, yeah. They can go short. They can do the whole thing. Now, the next one I wanted to cover here was, let me see, I could cut Bitcoin. Let me see if this, make sure I get this one right. That's the election year one. Okay. I'm stumbling here because we're going to have a break here in one minute and 30 seconds. So we got plenty of time. We're going to give you the first intro about your book. Let's get this up here so we can see it. And sure enough, I got to redo it the other way. Bob, you know that I'm technically challenged and boy, this is proving it. So hold on. This is second. Now we'll get it up here. There we go. This is your definitive guide to the U.S. election cycle and stock market trends. Robert C. First of all, you got about a minute. Go ahead. One minute. Okay. Well, I just released it a few weeks ago and I've been writing reports on the election cycle since the late 90s. So this past year I decided I was going to compile it all into a book, add some additional research. And no one's ever done a book just on this election cycle, stock market trends. So I really went into detail so that there's specific times in each one of the four years of the election cycle that you have a real bias, positive bias to take advantage of. And that's what I go through in this book. Okay. Stay with us, Bob. We've got to pay a few bills. We'll be right back with Bob Minor and he'll be talking to us about gold.

Bob, this is a monthly gold chart and boy, I have to agree, this thing looks like it's ready to really take off. I think so. For over a year, the objective was to identify when this corrective low would be complete and finally identified that several months ago we called a wave four of five. So we're just kind of, I believe anyway, now in the initial stages of a next leg up and good possibility that could be quite an accelerated advance once it gets underway. Well, it certainly looks like you've got targets up there from 2592 to 2675 and those are big Fibonacci numbers and it certainly makes a really good case for them getting there. We've hit 203 already, so this was published a couple of days ago, I guess, correct? Yeah, I think I captured this last night, actually. Might be data about two days old. Yeah, we're looking at the monthly now. I was looking at the quarterly before. We're at the monthly. Yeah, and this is kind of a minimum target, by the way. Oh my goodness, wow. If we had a speculative, you know, kind of panic buying which is fairly typical in latter stages of a gold trend, it can go significantly higher. Okay, wow. Well, this is really something that you want to tell us what you're looking at here in this gold weekly close. I can see we had a nice bottom back there in October of 2022. Right, that's for sure. Well, the idea of this chart is, you know, when you have trade strategies, it's like, well, I think the market is in a position to continue the advance, but you always got to identify your stop. Well, what tells you that you're incorrect and the market's not going to continue the advance and the beauty of the immediate position of gold is that little red arrow I have in there where it was the test of the breakout, going low, literally just a decline and a weekly close below that would avoid the probability of a continued bull trend. So that's very close to the market. That's what I call high probability trade. We have a stop that could be very close to the market. So I never know, I'm not a forecaster. I don't know what the future is going to hold. I just identify, you know, trade opportunities and then get the hell out when, if I get stopped out, I got to identify that, get out a specific price whenever you have a trade and that's it right now for gold. Well, like you've always said, there's a difference between trading and forecasting and you're not a forecaster. So I remember you telling me that many years ago up in Pismo Beach, I don't know if I knew enough, but Jimmy, Jimmy Twineman passed away last Wednesday and he was only 78 years old. That's what I heard. Yeah, and I know you met him several times. I think the last time I saw him was in Pismo Beach. That probably was, yeah. We lived there together for five years up on the hill. A lot of stories went through that house, wasn't there? That's for sure. Let's take a quick look here. I think was there one more to look at? Let's make sure I have everything. We might go back to that election cycle chart because there's something we didn't mention about. Want to do that? Yeah, there it is. We're right here, far away. Cool. So you can see that kind of red arrow that I have. The most important thing about this election year coming up anyway is the most reliable, biased, seasonal trend of an election year is this spring low to summer high. And the spring lows, they're kind of spread out between about mid-April to mid-May. But when we get into mid-April time period, which is not too far away, we'll really be looking for a trade opportunity on the long side for a probable rally that would continue into around mid-August to mid-September. And the last, since 1952 anyway, there has been a positive return from spring low to summer high every single year. So that's why I featured this chart. And it's not time yet, but in general, we're almost in the spring now. Eight more days, we're going to be in spring, believe it or not. Right, the official spring, yeah. It'll be about mid-April before you start looking for the seasonal advance anyway during an election year. Okay, listen, I want to thank you for being our guest. We'll have you on next month if possible. Bob, any time you want to come on with a special, because I know you have special reports and people follow those very closely and you want to bring it to attention to folks. Just let me know and we'll have you on very easily. I had Peter Lides on yesterday and it was really fun chatting with him. I met Jimmy and Peter Lides in the spring of 66 there across the Maculico building down west L.A. And so I'm backing in. And Larry Williams, all three of them. Larry Williams, there was a whole bunch of Joe Denapoli. They were all there at the same time. Hey, listen, thanks for joining us, buddy, and enjoy that beautiful Southern hospitality you got over there. If you ever get down that way, I'll stop in and we'll have a glass of wine or something. Fantastic. Take care. You bet. You bet. Bob Minor folks are really, really good technician. And as he says, he's a trader, not a forecaster. Okay, let's move on here. Let's just see what the old clock on the wall says. We've got three minutes in this segment. So the first thing we want to do is to get up and see how we're doing here with this thing that we were looking at with the old S&P. And let's see where to get it out of the way here. Are we still in it? I don't know. Well, son of a gun, it looks like we still are. Gomer, we made a couple of dollars on that little sucker. So don't go yelling and screaming at me today. Anyway, that's what we're watching here. We got right up to that level. Good old ABCD coming in. So if you've made a couple of bucks here, see that 75. Worst you could do is put your stop and break even. The reason why I say that, the forecast, the AI forecast says we should be down for the rest of the day. You see, and believe me, folks, it's not, it's not fisted this like every day I'd own the world and I already got my piece of it. I don't need it. But anyway, if you just stop it. This is what 20 minutes I worked on for so many years up there at Pismo Beach. Here's what we want to do sometimes is when you move, if you see how you shifted the cycle, it even does it better. But remember, this did this 24 hours before the market did this. It goes back over the last 30 days and it picks out what happened in the previous three days and it gives you the best indication of what should happen on the fourth day. That's what all this is doing. Sometimes it works perfectly like this. Sometimes it doesn't. But this is one of those days that it worked. I'll be using this application when we do our day trading program in April that we're going to be doing one day a week. We'll be doing three hours of live trading and it'll be it from nine o'clock until 12 New York time. So that'll give us the open all through halfway through today. And that's what we'll be watching and have a little fun. I enjoy doing the three hours. And when I'm trading, you know, it's not going to do a lot of preparation. The problem is I got to do a lot of thinking and sometimes my thinking might be awful a little bit and other times it does okay. I have a question here from one of our listeners about the corn market. So let's get back to business here. We got another few seconds here for sure. We were looking at Christmas corn and there's the hourly chart on Christmas corn. By golly, it's still back up here again. Boy, this thing is really... We're right at the target here of December corn folks. This is a... Well, we've hit it. There's 474 and backed off a little bit today. Well, four or five cents, that's nothing. But this is where the area where you want to be taking profits in December corn. They haven't even began to plant this stuff yet, folks. You know, it's had a 30% rally. And remember, looking at this on the weekly, you couldn't get anybody to buy it now, if you remember. Hey, let's take a break. 877-927-6648.

And I'll see you next time. I'm going to show you this is Christmas meal, folks. This is December soybean meal. This is protein, folks. This is something we can't get along without. Gold is indigestible. Crude oil is indigestible. And soybean meal is something that you need. This is pure protein. It's 80% of the soybean plant. This is where you want to really watch this. We've had a little three-day sell-off here. You know, just go to the hourly chart to show you what's happened here. There's what it's done so far. This is where I had the data problem the other day. This is where we were expecting the report to come in here on this day right here. And of course, the report was slightly bullish. Well, it wasn't bearish, but it had a big run-up. Now we've had this little three-day pullback right here. Let's just clean this up really quickly to see where our retracement was. And I missed this because of doing so many other things. You got your low to your high and went to the 50% level. The difference between here is only $150. But you want to look for a place to get long this thing, folks, because it's got a chance to buy it. The fact is, if you got a couple of extra bucks instead of putting a piggy bank by December soybean meal because this thing is really, really low, and I believe it's got a chance to just look at this weekly where we are to weigh down here. And you can see protein can get really, really exciting up in here. So this is the time to be looking to be a buyer of soybean meal. So let's keep that on our watch list, okay? That's what we're watching. Now hopefully on Friday, keep your fingers crossed, but we're going to try to have Mr. James Bartolioni of Bart's Charts as our guest on Friday. And I think you'll have a good time listening to him. And it's always a lot of fun. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless and do something nice for your neighbors, folks, and a lot of folks out there having a lot of trouble. It's not an easy move for some of these folks, so be very, very generous.

Architecten De Vylder Vinck Taillieu
|
a lecture by Jan De Vylder, co-founder of architecten de vylder vinck taillieu.
architecten de vylder vinck taillieu (a ddvt) is the name under which Jan De Vylder, Inge Vinck, and Jo Taillieu share their united view on what architecture can possibly be. The point of departure for a dvvt is to embrace “making” in its broadest sense. It is only through an understanding of how to build something that architecture can play out its critical potential. As a response to what is expected of architecture today, a dvvt instead focuses on the construction of a banal and everyday reality, in which it finds opportunities to greatly surpass that which is expected. Through their practice, a dvvt demonstrates how a critical attitude is not just a gesture, but, rather, a perspective on architecture to go beyond all requirements. This critical perspective is based on a sense of social responsibility as architects. The responsibility of the architect is to transcend given expectations and give architecture a chance at cultural production. The skillfulness of the architect—craftsmanship and critical insight—is crucial here. The skilled architect is able to build an everyday reality founded on cultural sustainability, safeguarding architecture from becoming a mere solution—the métier as the key to the future.
Free and open to the public.
Organized by Columbia GSAPP.

Hi, everyone. Amal couldn't be here today, so I'm stepping in for her, so you get to hear me for the introduction and the response. So I'm going to read her introduction, though, so bear with me if it's a little bit stilted. So welcome, everyone. It's a great pleasure to welcome architect and divider Vink Tayu, aka ADVVT, this evening, an inspiring architectural practice led by Jan de Wilder, who is here with us in Gavink and Joe Tayu, who are not here, and committed to, which is an inspiring practice, committed to opening up new possibilities for what architecture can be today. In more than one way, ADVVT embodies a very strong and influential strand of architecture, which they were certainly instrumental in putting forth unto the world scene a number of years ago. Specifically, many of us encountered their work, not me, unfortunately, and its power in person for the first time at the Venice architecture Biennale in 2014, where they were part of the Belgian pavilion. There, another worldly invitation to rediscover Kuhlhaus' elements of architecture was presented through a combination of careful austerity undone by sensuous materiality, minimal interventions undone by its playful absurdity, and novel insertions undone by the feeling of found objects, a kind of dreamy and poetic déjà vu. While some have engaged in expansion of architecture and architectural practice that is outwardly directed, sorry, that is outwardly directed at bringing architectural thinking and design to other fields and practices, ADVVT proposes an expansion of architecture and architectural practice that reimagines every single architectural part, every architectural gesture or opportunity, whether a single drawing, an exhibition of drawings, a stand, a bus stop, a set of interventions into an existing building or a new building, every scale, every program, every type, every material, technique, and every assembly, where their drawn or built is approached with the same level of complete dedication to almost transcend its current state to become a new and unexpected encounter. Reflecting on the work of the practice, Kirsten Geir has once commented on this flattening as the context itself becoming the project. This is a context that is understood beyond place, a situation that can encompass time, program, history, art, and culture. Context precedes concept. But this is no heady practice, rather it is both heady and completely committed to making and the power of making to reinvent what architecture can be and what it can do. Through careful construction in which the many layers are revealed through rich materiality, abstraction through color or on the contrary, deep white aging texture, ADVVT's projects are exquisitely sophisticated presenting the making of architecture as the ultimate responsibility of the architect to render through making drawings and buildings to be, sorry, to render through making drawings and buildings to become equally and at times reversibly architecture. ADVVT exhibited work at the Venice architecture Biennale in 2010 and 2012 as well as 2014 and represented Belgium again in 2016. ADVVT was part of both the 2015 and 2017 additions of the Chicago architecture biennial. In addition to their building practice, the firm's drawing practice was featured in two GTA exhibitions at the A.T. Ash Zurich Theater Objects, a stage for architecture and art in 2014 and again in 2015 for their own show called Carousel. The work of ADVVT appears in many publications as an A plus U, poetry of modesty. Four monographs were published to date in 2011 by Mer, by Mer Paperkunstahl, DeSingle, book threes, sorry, the numbering I find. Okay. And by 2G and Adivis International. Maybe Yann can explain the numbering of their monographs. ADVVT was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2013 and 2015 and has won several Belgian architecture awards. Yann de Waalder, Ingevink and Joe Tayu are very active in architectural education. The trio teaches at St. Lucas in Ghent and Brussels, KU Levin's Department of Architecture. Oh, sorry, that's parenthetical, never mind. And at EPFL, Enoch in Lausanne and has been visiting professor at TU Delft, EPFL and the Mendrizzo Academy of Architecture, Universita del Svitzera Italiana. So please welcome Yann de Waalder. Thank you. Okay. You've changed already the slide, but though I had to say the previous slide, I was somehow very happy that my name was wrongly spelled. And I asked to keep it, but you changed it. Maybe sometimes you should not do such things because I think this wrong spelling of my name was the best introduction to our work. I will talk about this and about that and such and so on, because everyone always wants to have a title. And now I will start quickly with introducing you, I believe it's like 15 slides, or 13 slides, each slide one project, but to quickly drone you in some ideas. This is not the final concept of our work, but like 13 ideas that we have to admit that are always around. Then later I will take you much more profoundly into like seven projects, and then we fade away with observations and we will see how many times left. Sometimes we don't reach the end of the slideshow, but we don't mind. This is a facade of a building we built twice for production studios for a dance company and a theater company. And why I like to show the facade, because the facade shows how things are, how they are built, how space is continuously evolving throughout, which spaces need some more intimacy and have a wall with a window and other just our windows. And if you have a close look then you see that none of the construction elements have the same dimension. They change from position and they change from dimension as in fact the load bearing structure needs only those dimensions at a certain point. And they change from materialization as we asked to the engineer when he came on the table the first time and we had asked him to design a construction scheme, he came with concrete beams and concrete columns of the same size and we asked him to do his work again and to propose as a scheme in different materials but also for each point of the scheme the exact dimension and not a kind of overall dimension. And then for us it was easy we just had to shift the plans of the engineer above each other and make choices and that's what we adore a little bit showing it but being lazy at the same time. It's the engineer who made the concept of the facade. Second project this is an interior of a veterinary clinic in which the doctors who commissioned us the job asked to spend as less as possible money in the building so they could spend as much as possible on the equipment of the surgery rooms the MRR scans and whatever is all available in nowadays modern veterinary clinics. The only thing we changed in that idea is that we changed for every wall a kind of other type of rough building block. One time concrete, one time more ceramic, different sizes and then walls need to be connected to each other. And in the sand on the building site we repeated with a contractor how we could do it, how we could nail one wall in the other wall and finally we discovered ourselves how we did how we did it. A kind of contractor's mentality ornament. And on the right side you see the white painted wall. Some walls we painted white and the painter told us that he stopped painting the whole wall because he understood the ornament from the other side. We didn't ask him to do like this but he acted like this. This is what we mean making of things. A third picture is an interior picture of a single family house of which on one hand I could tell you a story about the sustainability of this construction. In an old building we didn't want to insulate on the outside. We placed a glazed building on the inside with an average width towards the outside of one and a half meter and I don't have to tell what the effect is of one and a half meter air insulation and how that works and that in winter you have to heat up less more than in summer and so on. But no I like to tell you or I like to point you merely to the fact how light now comes from above and how you can see in the concrete ring that goes around. This concrete ring was a position of the previous floor. We took it away and light enters the house and if you see the central fireplace what I like especially or what I was looking at especially is how it was positioned towards the former fireplace. Sustainable living not as a question of scientific ideas but as a question of a way of life. Fourth project, one slide. It's a building it's a building it's a taller building renovation of a building which was in a bad condition and in that building we invented the scheme of new columns and if you have a closer look also here you will see that those columns have different sizes depending on the load they had to carry. And then on a certain moment we had a concrete wall which is in fact a beam as it surpasses a space below this level an entrance and as concrete was it's not because we are in Switzerland because we are in Belgium but this concrete was not of the best quality and especially this here this kind of typical given thing that you have this milk cement like we call it in between castwork and concrete made that you had this kind of wrong things in the concrete and the building client the city of Ghent didn't want to pay this to the contractor demanded a new wall and the contractor didn't want to change it and then you know what happens on building sites you gotta fight and you lose time and by that a lot of money and here was yet also another mistake though the plans were clear how the pipe for the fire should run it was totally mis executed and then we made a link we painted this kind of dirtiness red by which it became a new language on its own and it connected two things that have nothing to do with each other with each other and then we went on search for other mistakes and instead of losing time and instead of losing money and getting into troubles redefined for the whole building process a kind of correction modes in how to get along with what went wrong like spelling my name wrong another one it's the occasion of context it's an old abbey you see the large corridor we found out that the wall between corridor and rooms was not an original wall and by that we were allowed by the monumental services to replace the wall and the client wanted to have an open office structure I would say then don't buy an abbey but they wanted to have all walls away so it was impossible but as we found out that this wall was not real wall we could replace it by a system of sliding doors and sometimes you can put it open and you can close it and the old doors in between come in and strange way back but the point I show you this is that the color scheme is the result of the research of the original colors of the rooms and each color each room had another color and that helped us out in reconnecting steel constructions and glazed facades and whatever changed with it but each time along the room we were facing the other color context as a simple treasure the backside of a house was kind of small city palace we call it engend a former single family house which became now a shop and the client bought it because they wanted to have the shop all levels as you can see the light is on but the shop for fire regulations needed an extra staircase as the old wooden staircases were not could not be taken in account and we added to add something where we didn't want to add something but we added the staircase sorry we added the staircase but then we just folded out the perspective of the facade to give the idea that we didn't add anything at all maybe it goes together with this slide this is not the philippe du jardin collage it is a reality and it's a corner point of a square farmsteads a taller house one could say and how spatially wise the old barn is reconnected and I will not explain this project as such but I just wanted to show this slide because I believe it's not too bad in the idea that at the end a certain confusion one could say as part of what we are looking for this confusion not as a statement or a politic but as an idea that architecture rather would be deliver you an everyday way not to survive but a way to discover things I think one of the other vast ingredients in which we are very interested is the idea of the interior maybe this is also the interior of the exterior amongst building parts but this is really the interior we are back in that shop where we reconnected floors not only by staircases but by just leaving away floors reestablishing new experience into the interior interior not by particularly adding but by taking things away I come to this project which is a very small one which is in fact a small barn into a taller garden in which there is a small farm I don't show it we did it many years ago and then after five years the client had four daughters the daughters were expelled into the garden in their own house the small little barn and what you see is a small gap because we are not allowed we could get no building permit for it but still we made a small gap to have light inside and the left side of the gap is a mirror and the right side is the real window just enough to get into that intimacy of the bar just enough to get solder light in it that turns throughout the day and reflects itself in a mirror the interior of the exterior coming into the house and this is the last of this small range of projects that I do not explain totally but once again fundamentally I think all the other projects have been shown up until now they start maybe from in the interior and this is a typical Flemish situation what you see is a kind of cascade of rooms that have been added to the main building you see just a glimpse of the main building over there and that turned out to be a following system about 25 meters of rooms by which the house got connected with a garden and we reconnected in this sense that half of this length we changed back into garden rooms and all the other things I can tell you is just the pleasure of form ah there is one more in this range maybe two more yes a house in Antwerp we are not responsible for the brickwork that's a house from the 60s and the biggest mistake of that house was as you can see on the left and the right side the beautiful facades from the 19th century a nice occasion that this is on the crossing of two streets that come together but the previous client or it was not our client the previous owner built himself house only for himself till the height he could afford and in an architecture that did not took an account anything from the surrounding we could not change that too much but if our client came up to us saying we bought this we proposed to make half a house but use the verticality to restore the lines of the street and on the other hand to avoid that we had to refurbish this part of the house by which we could introduce a small patsio garden and then the last one coming back from the beginning this is to me one of the most important pictures or images we have in our practice this is Gant the city we are from on the right side you see the backside of buildings which has been raised in 1900 when Gant had the advantage of the textile revolutionary industry the investors in this industry has been have been changing the city fundamentally as they organized a building campaign of small houses for all the new laborers they needed for their industry and they are very sympathetic and very symptomatic at the same time for the city of Gant because they are four meters width at that time they were revolutionary in the quality today they are of course to be remade rebuilt whatever it's whatever young couple wants to have in Gant but on the other hand the city of Gant sometimes demolished them and replaces then like six of them with four new houses which I think is a problematic topic when you think about sustainable small living anyway we have a made a house with an energy level which is called low level and this is a passive house next to us which is twice as big from volume I think there is an opposite in interest but anyway I look to this this is our small contribution to the idea of city living and I'm very glad we are the smallest and last idea that's now 15 slides I guess this is here we have done a refurbishment of the house I will not talk about but I just talk about this simple facade which is totally closed as a kind of blind wall and it was covered with cement tiles those cement tiles were as best as made need to be retaken and the wall needed to be restored but the cement tiles that is oblique lining and finally we decided to draw back the texture of those slides on the wall also this is part of our pleasure okay second part of the lecture some real work this is a kind of painting we made but it's of course a collage and it's a drawing we made as an entry of a competition take it in your mind what you see here is the building we're going to talk about any minute but you also should take in your mind those kind of white arcades which are around in this park it's about this it's the psychiatric clinic in Maloneer to Ghent it is a project that has been started also around 1900 until 1900 in fact psychiatric diseases the idea on that was more about locking up people and they were locked up in the city and the sanitary conditions or hygienic conditions were of course you could not imagine and then around 1900 they invented around the city in a park a totally new master plan of separate buildings designated to separate several these different diseases but also to the difference between rich and poor people but anyway delivered a nice concept of an open park which is daily a night open and everyone could enjoy and it had a beautiful amount of architectural a little bit belly poke styled villas like we call them as revolutionary it was at that time later on especially after world war they started to replace buildings one by one and if we had like 14 or even more it depends on how you count of those villas in the beginning you see here a plan of the situation today so many of the villas has been replaced and you can recognize this typically plans of hospital buildings and soon the quality of these beautiful plans this kind of symmetrical plans simple plans disappeared it is now like four years ago this is a situation on model it is like four years ago that a young director a man of my age very young arrives at the moment that there was a new building campaign in demolishing buildings there was one here and this is our I will talk about soon and when he arrived the one was totally demolished and the one we will envision now they only took away tiles and one builder's drove in it but they had to stop because of asbestos problematics and this director said like okay that's true those buildings cannot be used anymore according nowadays regulations and sub consequently subsidies one get in Europe to organize your hospital so the architects until then said yeah well you know then you have to demolishment and you have to replace them and if you can't use them anymore just demolish them because you get subsidies for it so perverse the system was but the the director said let's stop doing it and let's start the other way around what could we do eventually with buildings like such buildings we cannot use anymore in a proper way and he launched a competition invited three architectural offices to think about that building and his question was very open if we as architects were convinced that you could do nothing with it we could advise to demolish it further on we proposed two things we were questioned or we answered the question on one hand but also we proposed something else in the competition first thing we proposed although it was not demanded and that's what I ask you to recall in your memory is that we said as we start to lose the identity or the the the unity of the whole campus we proposed to look to the campus in a different way so good to see is this is the building how we found it so the original building and the addition from the 50s or 40s maybe which is a kind of concrete close box so we went through it and we made a catalog of all the buildings and the additional constructions or the original constructions which were there and our simple proposal was to say let's go back to find unity and let's redefine some of those objects to become unity by clearing them really out as wide arcades lodges places where people can hide when the sun is too hot we should say today since the new climate change or when there was too much rain as it was five years ago in Belgium this was the first thing and we expressed in that sense that our proposal was a proposal not only for a building in this stage but a proposal for further on evolution you see it back now here on this slide the main thing then the building this is a model we made and why we made the model had two things in mind first to show what we want to do but second we also said that our idea is that such a question on think with us about a building and what it could mean for us was a question of process so we could start with a design for it but before we wanted to build we wanted to have a debate with everyone doctors there therapists collaborators who else patients and that's why we make this puppet-scaled model that we could open and by which we could debate with everyone ideas on how we could progress so we said our process our proposal we don't want to see it as a delivery of a design but we want to see it as a future debate and that's why we made this model and the making of this model went together with the making of sketches not only sketches for the competition but later on in the debate with the client sketches in a way that you're almost on site could make them along the along the talk you had but then the proposal may be in last but not least this is what you see today and I guess you can agree on the fact that this is quite accordingly the way we found it on one hand but on the other hand also accordingly the idea of for example the white arcades that should walk around the whole park yes the tiles were gone and the tiles are still gone yes the builder drove in here to the building and we prepared the building because the construction is of course also our concern yes the building is now totally open and we opened all the upstands of the windows and we made a kind of enlarged plan of the basement not the basement of the rich you'll see the ground floor so that in fact the building became part of the park or vice versa the park enters the building I'm just going to walk with you now to through some slides when you come closer you discover some greenhouses those greenhouses entered more fundamentally the project after competition saying on one hand like yes we want to have a building which is totally open but on the other hand we want to have some spaces which could be give us a little bit more protection but we don't want to have a technical building no heating no ventilation so it's a building that you will have to use throughout the seasons in a totally different way no technology upgrade the only thing which is around today is a wi-fi router seemingly that's now even as important than the foundations of a building and then ideas came like yes we have some greenhouses and we will be able to demount them and to replace them and that what actually we're gonna do soon with this one we're gonna kick it out install a small cafe in it and we move on with the project yes we will soon change floors or repair floors I will tell you about later and this is the building as it is and what happens that happens a lot of things but always those kind of things that partly they tried and partly came totally unforeseen psychiatry is quite a tough world and also this hospital has a lot of youngsters and kids amongst them and the youngsters they come in the even and they gather here together there is a street lamp lamp fairly light enough on the other hand the board meetings happen now over there in the winter with a jacket in the summer in the sun and when it rains in the greenhouse and the director tells me it works far more better to come to conclusion in those boards here we took away the floor between basement and between ground level and we made a kind of small arena there is also a nursery school connected and from spring on especially with a better climate conditions teaching happens over there we installed a small fireplace that's the favorite place of the youngsters when they come at evening and and smoke their G together a tree entered the room and when it rains the rain can drone away in the ground and then maybe some attention to ways we helped to survive the building when there were huge gaps due to old electricity passages or whatever we give a route we give the route to the contractor saying every of those gap you should like a little bit stitch it together or when a window sill a window sill was taken away we just cover it with some concrete simply cast it and then another day when we arrived and the Belgian sky was blue with white clouds we decided to paint them white and the daughter of the contractor came in in school holidays to paint them all white and at the end we have now a building which is part of a debate yes sometimes a therapy does not take more than five minutes being with your patient over there yes we understood that for some psychosis the understanding of space is fundamental and is one to one model now helps them sums out throughout this yes there are still non-believers around and there are people patients who walk with a huge bow around it as they are scared but yes there are also a lot of kids playing around and a lot of people or doctors really actively interfering into the house into the building next project i think this project of the caritas psychiatry maybe i'm personally not really ready with it but that's also what was our entry proposal let's move on with it and yes we're gonna make changes even the director claimed in the jury statement that this building was maybe even ready for a future real use maybe in 15 years they could reorganize it as a new administrative building and that's what i believe is part of the chance of this kind of situation that this kind of statements really could work at the end i have to say we saved the building for only 100 000 euros more than the demolishing it's quite a difference the other building which was demolished delivered a new grass field of no use second project the city of charleroi we are now in the french side of belgium as far as you might be interested in our local constraints this is charleroi a city of heavy metal industry not mining but heavy metal industry and this is a photograph from the moment the building i like to talk about was in a building site the building is tall 6000 square meters which is quite something and it is in fact two buildings of each three levels high and each level is averaged seven to eight meters and in the beginning in the middle there is a huge lobby hall 12 000 square meters big it was a time in the 60s that it could have not been big enough but one has to understand the photo is taken from the bell four the city tower looking towards the lower land around the lower city around and those small mountains are residues of the metal industry and the meaning of the building was that in the 60s belgium was very known for their mining and for the metal industry that had become a pallet des expo in which they could show off their products their end products in metal and they were they were very stressful building this and you can see this is unfinished that will be finished later on but this photo was our entry into the competition charleroi has no industry anymore today charleroi unlocally today has a enormous economical problem by that they got subsidies from the european community to restore the building they got 30 million euros but one has to be honest to really renovate it completely for such a tall building you need almost 100 000 euros 100 million euros the brief of the competition told that you got 30 million euros to give this an architectural upgrade in the sense of its appearance but also in the sense of its sustainable character and the brief admitted that there was no money to restore the other spaces i have to tell you the strange thing of the building is when it was delivered in the 60s the economy went bankrupt and they never used the building as whole but the building is there and disconnect upper and lower city the entrance was this photo we had some other materials to explain you here the building was not yet there there is a bell four the lower city railway tracks and the huge difference of height our proposal was to not upgrade the middle part but to take away façades and to enjoy the beautiful concrete structure in all its heights and extents and the staircases that goes along with it as a new open urban park we added few things like a much comfortable elevators and escalators but this was the proposal let's not do too much than just unreveal accordingly this photograph the building into a new urban structure that could connect upper and lower city much better and by that save money to do a basic fundamental technical upgrade of the other parts of the building and though although it was so opposite to what the brief claimed we wanted and we started now two weeks ago the building site of it but we are proud of it in the sense that the scale exercise delivers us the opportunity to experience in real time but on the other hand also again for us it is about I would say a fundamental change in how to get along with the things the context as we have them or find them third project just to make sure that you don't start to believe that we only can accelerate in this kind of conditions as I showed off now you've seen the other 15 projects but now I like to return to a recent delivered building which is about elderly housing and which is about elderly housings from different stages really the room of full equipment and full service and also rooms which we call service apartments which are in fact normal apartments but with a surface on plus a kind of buildings you can grow through if I can see it in an ophthalmistic way I like very much and all the photos you've seen are from the hand of Philippe Dujardin except at the end there are a few others of ourselves but you will understand totally the quality but this is Flanders maybe just to introduce you this is a small village generally around two two-story high buildings this context you can say it's ugly it's of no mean I would say it's true but it's the culture of Flanders and that this building is still there is because just the neighbor didn't want to sell his plot anyway this is the entrance and this is the plan it's quite a huge building it has a lot of rooms and a lot of apartments and normally those buildings appears as being big blocks but we try to rescale it towards the scale of its surrounding and the idea was to have a central axis on which different wings what we call groups in which people live together were transversal orientated to and this is the plan acts you can recognize the central corridors of the different wings also and maybe the plan difference is only this normally rooms of such a buildings have a window that looks straightforward we just in plan shifted each room a little to arrive at this to find a way that we could add in rooms windows that go around the corner we studied it here on models another model of another situation and this is what we told to our client you know they want they always want to be different than the others and we said well maybe just the differences the way we connect rooms to each other or we disconnect apartments the one from the other and this is the result you are not anymore in a room looking to the outside straightforward but you are looking in a room that looks along the building and from this way out you have an oblique perspective which is totally different the building walks a little bit away more openness is found and I could not say much more than saying well this is what we were looking for this corner this window the way the roof comes over and the way you look away back to the village around in the corridor this delivers this plan also the corridor is not this long long way till the end but it's a way in which it diverses in whatever way you look at and it doesn't make that building more expensive it's just a small difference in economy but such a difference in the way of living together and the building is low the above apartments have a pitched ceiling because of the pitched roof and some of the below apartments as there is a small graded small change of land along they are just a little bit sunk into the area and then comes along small details you might not see it directly but you see all the beams coming out with small mirrors at the end and small mirrors in between that do reflect surrounding and sometimes with some roof light with some daylight it's like the roof is a little bit floating over and here you can see everything is a little bit sunk in the area this is from a window in the interior on which the area just enters at the same level of the window sill to me this picture is as much as saying the same thing as in the psychiatric clinic or in the strategic thing of Charleroi is trying to look for where the small difference can deliver the difference in the way we can experience life and here it's in a building which is according building codes and sustainable expectations but still fifth project a pavilion a pavilion which has been demolished in the meantime and one could say maybe that's exactly the definition of a pavilion this pavilion we built it one year ago and it was on the occasion of a festival I don't know anymore if I have pictures of the other thing we did two things it was a temporary construction and this construction was meant to stay but since the client the government of forests and landscape made a mistake in their own building permit they had to demolish it anyway but where it's about I mean pavilions always are about experience experiments experimenting things and I don't know what went in our head but the idea was that we used the old planks of the old pavilion to cast the concrete and then quickly it went a kind of exercise in way of constructing and what you see here a stapling of concrete of blocks of bricks not in a way you usually do there's no mortar in between but we used the brick as a kind of formwork we casted the formwork and then we poured concrete in it to experience a new way of building a way we never did before it was a pure I would not say formalistic but a pure materialistic exercise and this is the building at the search and stage and I will talk about this silver stamp soon because we wanted this building to be in the nature and to be able to pick over the nature as quick as possible we also talked with with with people who know something about leeches and all those caps were interesting for insects and small animals but then for example the concrete we casted roughly as also the roof we throw sand into the cast so that we could obtain this kind of roughness it was like opposite to what we are looking for refinement and precision we wanted to experiment the opposite idea and this is the outcome and again maybe like with the psychiatric clinic those exercises today I'm not ready with it but I'm really interested or we are really interested in the way of making things and not just making them different to be different but to experiment by doing those exercise how different things could be and then you can talk about beauty or not but we believe it has something like beauty and it's a pavilion it's an exercise in balance it has many exercises at the same time and even with the contractor we calculated that the plates should start to bend throughout time I just show it because it is part of the way we love to approach things and now this is the testing point from the beginning and now we are at that point that it has been demolished and I have to catch up watch up with what I'm gonna tell I go back to those silver stamps sorry damped it's a small side story you've seen them this is a hand trail of miss van der Roos to gun hot house and we all know that this house had been damaged throughout his history the original landlords only left short time in it and had to leave the house because of the war coming and later on the house has been occupied by German by Russian and so on and the house got damaged throughout and I had a chance together with Inge to visit the house one week before restoration and we took a series of photographs regarding the traces of time and this is one of the most beautiful it is the silver railing chrome chromatized and then a silver duct tape so the handrail was damaged and someone repaired it with a silver duct tape and to me this was that interesting moment between beauty of richness and beauty of poverty of scarcity it lead to this we make pieces of furniture for a gallery in Antwerp we call it silver tables and this table is just a black metal tape polished with diamonds pieces well dust and it delivers a mirroring this is just opened to the air which is better than any other mirror but we don't chrome it we don't chromatize it the chrome that locks this beauty which is a normal process we don't do it it's also a very chemical process and then when you leave it to the open air or let's say depending on the way you clean it it starts to oxidate again and that was in our interests though this very precise process on the other hand the meaning of life that comes back and I know people who have it and still after years it's still beauty itself but others used to have a party on it or forget their glasses in the next morning they discovered the traces some even in a very wild extents but to us this table became a small thing in which we had to say oppose a little bit to the idea of the need of sustainable materials sustainable actions as such as you see my opinion at least it might be personal how beautiful also this way of life can be I was very happy to discover I was scared I said to Ing always I will never want to go back to the house because I'm pretty sure that they cleaned out too out too much the history of time we have to understand this house is not only a architectural highlight unfortunately it is too much it is also a highlight in European history you know the onyx wall that survived it's thanks to a German soldier if we want it or not but that's a real story he protected it with a brick wall around it because he know that the russians were coming after him and that they were even more cruel than they were beautyists that in restoration they didn't restore it they left it with the traces as the traces were found throughout time and I connected now back to the silver pole there's all idea of confusing qualities of confusing richness delivered us another gallery and in Brussels asked us to make objects well this is now you know this typically building pole we can sell it to you and come to your house and install it it's not a constructional need but it might be an object to change the interior or the way of walking through your space but on top since we covered it with a silver tape it becomes a totally other object and together with that you need this kind of security key to put in here we have different like with cars different levels of quality a gold one a silver one and a taped one depending on your money you want to spend and it goes together with a whole set of columns we deliver if you want to change your house and here you see them in the Biennale 2016 the Belgian pavilion not in the pavilion but in the barn it was a public secret that was a second venue over there and those who knew could see it small story gifts the 2016 pavilion we saved money on our budget we got from the Flemish community and you have to know the Flemish community in Belgium and the Wallonian community they don't work together if you want it or not I would love it but they don't and every year they have to bring in new material and this barn was about of collapsing and this buckets you see we also taped because it's raining inside the Belgian pavilion every year we left it over to the Flemish community saying it's a gift for Belgium and we placed them here a whole collection of things we gift for Belgium and this was quite a political problem we even had to explain it on the Belgian radio that it was not a political statement but we said no we want to save things together it's an obsession observing things this is Turig, Urlikon and this is probably something Swiss people can't stand it's a parking which has structural problems and they had to help it a little bit but it's of an incredible beauty you this is a lesson in construction you see that of course on the below parts you need more of them than on the above parts but it becomes a symphony of poles and although it's an engineer question at the end someone painted them all yellow so there was a concern of perception and of pleasure it is part of this catalogue of things we do aside the silver table there's objects but they are for me and for us as much the way we like to think and observe and enjoy the things we make so we declared this now a project of us we don't know who the author is but we now sell it as an intervention so far that lately recently some of the poles were part of the ready-made show held in the Swiss Institute here in New York they are covered together with a Petra Blaise curtain and with some photographs as you've seen as such last project before we fade away and some observation things this is Flanders profoundly this is a suburb of Ghent houses of the 50s again this kind of private houses there is a huge interest in the private housing in Flanders and it's part of the economical thinking of how to realize housing and we did a kind of small extension of this house and maybe our extension is not that different from all the other things you know Flemish they built first a main house and then they start to make extensions and actually the real life happens in this extensions regarding the garden but there are maybe some difference as you can see with our neighbor the connection with the garden is not that big and here is another window and when you come close you start hopefully to discover material changes like a concrete beam between a wooden beam and a volume seems to also not only cover another room but deliver deliver the other room towards the garden it's a shifted position of volumetries but merely why I wanted to show you is about the interior and this connects again with the first range of photographs that I've shown you you could ask what is this well I'm glad you ask it because that's where it's about it's a whole series of interventions of different constructions that come together but one morning we are there and you try to find the idea and the other morning you don't want to find the idea but you just enjoy the space as you see it concrete column concrete beam but then a wooden window helping the construction scheme a wooden beam from the pitch of the roof coming through the space and then a green column picking up another part a kind of small dense of daily pleasure I just walk with you now quickly through the house we walk back to the main house and you discover the door we've seen from the backside and the way how small parts use now on the long run of the plan delivers lies life and pleasure into the house we are now in a main house and we look to the backyard and the green well let's keep that for a question we walk out the house to the front door and maybe at the end the intervention of the brickwork was just a kind of unconscious mind intervention after we the first time entered the house and found this kind of decorative brickwork from the beginning we traveled to the five projects and a kind of waving out I just want to finish maybe with some things like I started with projects I now like to share some small ideas ideas we also use when we have to debate questions like what is architecture for you and this kind of things this is san gotardo it's a mountain in switzerland and the san gotardo tunnel must be worldwide known everyone takes it every summer on its way to italy coming from the north but we always go over the san gotardo since the first time we did it we never wanted to do it anymore this tunnel and this is a this is a august family picture nothing special tourist cyclists everyone around sunny day but this is exact the same position one year before and this picture is for us the idea of let's say when things that have nothing to do with each other all of a sudden have something to do with each other take in mind the last project that I've shown it's an electricity pile a traffic sign small chapel and a staircase and then this statue with the horse things that have nothing to do with each other but a condition the wet gray day makes that all of a sudden things have something to do with each other we love that idea and I think it's not strange after what I've shown you second thing is an artwork of an flamish architect and I could talk about where it's about but I will save time but what he writes on the after artwork is maybe you know some french metre en jeu in flamish it's open spells at him I could translate by saying is daring to risk things third thing this is not a building of us luckily but this is really nice fourth thing sorry the Belgian artist raised as an architect though Francis Alice who lives in Mexico City once wrote this sometimes doing something poetic can become political and sometimes doing something political can become poetic another nice observation someone replaced the lightning and I don't know why needed to turn it or someone changed the perspective lines of the joinery of bluestone in a church a beautiful fence which was damaged clearly who did repair to this a child student in art someone really annoyed and bored that day it could be you another a couple of years ago in a pfl we had a review final review and we wanted to have onsite of the review with our guests a small middle lunch with nice cheese and whatever we didn't found a table around free as it was tough to its student projects and then we constructed this and totally surprised we found out that even the height of the table was according European regulations we asked ourselves whether Ray and Charles had foreseen this a classic one which is in our range of is it references I don't like the word its observations it's a drawing of soluit you can recognize it was in a porch entry of a beautiful city palace a huge tall city house with many rooms and normally horses and coaches went through it but then in the 90s or late 80s it became an art gallery that's why this art gallery as a piece of soluit the gallery went out to somewhere else and the building was sold and a new landlord installed 23 I believe door studios for students and ordered this electrician to install 23 door bells and the light switch and is of course the murder on an art piece or maybe not maybe it's incredible that I guess this electrician was not aware about what this drawing was or from who it was because then he would never have done it at the end so Lou it guided the works the lining of the bells and tip of the lights which it couldn't have been done better it intrigues me it intrigues us on how things again come together and then work in a different way than foreseen and it brings me this range of observations to a project we showed here in New York at the Friedman-Bendah gallery I think now a small year ago in which we were invited to be part of a collective presentation and the topic of the presentation was pieces of furniture for architects I mean as a homage to architects and what we show here is in fact no more nor less an observation from a workshop of a carpenter or let's say a cabinet maker who often store leftover pieces of plates they used again the wall and we sold it as a day chair a day bed for Frank Lloyd Wright once I was in this house of Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago and they told me over there at a certain moment when we pointed to one of the lamps of light right that he once declared his lamps as simply an exercise of stapling books upon each other and shifting them a little bit away this was our contribution to the show some plates shifting away becoming an impossible day bed for Frank Lloyd Wright like his furniture or like everything of him was always somehow impossible how nice it also is but of course with another precision and just picking up the plates from the workshop we found out a system of how to connect them and bring them really to a piece on the other hand just the pleasure of observation and going so directly towards something the laziness I talked to you about in the beginning is probably part of our thinking but it's a nice laziness thank you I will just guide you now quickly to some books if you are still interested you can look at it's a series you can only find on second hand mark market we made ourself with Matt Paperkunstaller as mentioned after we made that on the occasion of the 2010 Biennale we were when which we were invited by Kazuyo and Roy this monograph came over us it has never been printed but it will be reprinted soon now 2G became part of the Walter König publishing house with a kind of with a kind of let's say makeover to the actual status of our work Swiss Quartferlach gave us the opportunity to make a monograph and the third one was last year available at the ANU monograph series it sold out also unfortunately and the nice thing about it is that there were three different forms namely a first form which was wrong and which stated architect in D and then Wielder Wink Taiyue so they reprinted the cover as a sleeve around it and we asked him to reprint the cover twice so those who were quick have now three different ANUs on our work though they are the same and as we had this first one book 123 made ourself many years ago now the idea came up that we needed to remake them but we just stole the monographs available at the market and we cut all books at the same size and put them in a box and then the 2G which was not yet in Walter König's hands the brand we made a bootleg version of it by photographing the original book and selling it now as a bootleg this delivers the thing is I think the way we made the book was accordingly the way we love to make projects we stole it and we reformed it into something else this was an unique series I believe of small 100 copies and the funny thing is that they could laugh very much with Walter König on this that's why they now finally as a kind of counter reaction will print a book not only those books we make also books like bravures scarcity beauty which is a small catalog we made for our contribution in the Belgian pavilion we curated but then coming back to our actual today contribution unless ever people so as sit in the introduction I believe the Caritas project is on show at the Venice Biennale this year and for that we made a work book different maybe than other architectural books in which we on the right hand we have each time the photo of Philippe Dujardin but on the left hand we invited a lot of people to comment our projects and this are not only texts by official architectural historians or philosophers but also by the director for example or also by people who have left over there or students who organize all kind of activities over there so it became a workbook which goes beyond the architectural celebration and became now also a workbook they use in the psychiatry to debate architecture and psychiatry and next and next futures for example a doctor wrote a text it's a very small book and it becomes part of this small book series we are setting up right now together with the bravures scarcity book series and it will be available soon also in a box and becomes a new series of commenting projects and last we are not uh unproud we are very proud to be be the third monograph in a spanish series archivist archives which is once again out of spain an unbelievable monograph series very young now and we are part of we are glad to be the third now in it after flores and prats and biarty deplatses and the next i can't tell you but is the next beautiful or interesting practice in this series you can follow us at our instagram accounts universal carousel journey is the one of the at house studio we are running and maybe just at the end this sleepless nights at the kitchen back to bed thank you well thank you for the lecture and and for at least i think for most of us introducing you us to to the work which i i for one wasn't familiar with beforehand and it's very exciting to see maybe start i i'm not sure this is a i'm not sure where the question will go but in looking at things i would say i and probably many other people often try to find a comparison or a frame of reference or a way a way of contextualizing the work we're seeing relative to others and i was struck at a certain point i was looking at your work and thinking i don't know what this is like and then it struck me that the thing that this is most like is frank gary's house which seemed like one of the least likely things for a belgian architects work to be like and so i wonder if that uh relationship resonates at all with your history uh or your work i know that that is of course today the big thing how do you refer your work and i do believe that there's idea of this question of how does it refers to does it helps you was it first or whatever i'm not so sure it's about this this referring thing i think we all are suffering from it by now but i'm thankful to the work of frank Lloyd Wright especially this work of this period i mean why should i deny or why should i confirm i think what i know from this man's work at that time i only could say i love it is it a straight reference i think i never used this work explaining to my clients something we were heading for saying like let's have first a look to frank Lloyd to um frank gary so i mean this this this is at a certain point of course i i knew or i started to knew frank gary at a certain moment as a student and a young architect but i think the thing with references at this moment which is much more interesting is how what is your distance to your reference not what is your closeness or your connection to your reference so i could name other people from a belgium field or french field or whatever who would i like to like to connect to it so uh no yes uh frank gary at that time or at this very young work is is very inspirational but there you have another word which i believe is is too much over quoted or too much quoted what is your inspiration in academic words you have to say what is your reference but it comes all to the same and i do think that um to me at least i hope that on hunt and yes you can name it and on the other end you can feel also the distance to it i do think that yes his kind of closeness at a certain moment in his life towards the topic the client and the commission is might be comparable to this closeness we love to work with or to look at in our work today so maybe i'll try to ask this without any reference but maybe that some of these these ideas would be implicit i was struck when you talked about a the laziness of a way of working because i think for me uh in my own practice and i think as a kind of maybe an emerging or a present generational sensibility laziness is something uh to be commended or uh oh yeah i mean to aspire afterwards in the sense that uh it suggests you might work much more directly with the things at hand instead of torturing yourself in the attempt to find something that's not there already and so i wonder about the kind of ethic if we recontextualize laziness or stripped it of some of its uh its ethical baggage and rethought it i shouldn't have quoted maybe too much the thing is um the only we are not lazy at all i think our work is very intensive is very demanding um we are totally and constantly with it and in it and there is no laziness around at all the only thing that i wanted to say a little bit in a maybe overemphasized and a little bit too funny way is that reading contexts understanding situations embracing moments helps you to avoid at a certain moment the purely conceptual thinking conceptual thinking which nowadays is always let's say uh helped by the reference you see the reference and a concept and then it's okay no uh the the expression of this laziness as merely or only to do it a fact that i believe that the deeper you get into the things the on one hand less you feel needed to do but on the other hand still feel the freedom to do things which maybe are not really contextually connected but you are allowed to do since there is found that free space in that context you read so many times so good and in that sense i feel lazy in the sense that i think we never have to impose too much architectural conceptual thinking in the things as we read the circumstances in time and so on so i think in a way i mean what i find interesting is the idea that if you look closely enough at something you derive from it both the materials themselves which are maybe already present or at hand and the rules for how to use them which leads to a kind of uh not an inevitability but a clarity in why things are the way they are and that was i think very evident in the in some of the work you talked about and and the way you talked about it and then i think what's interesting about your work is that it's not merely that kind of strategic means of dealing with the situation at hand but it also has a very playful or unexpected quality and this is maybe where the color comes in so it's not all just the materials are the the nature of the materials as they are there's also a moment at which you choose to make it pink or salmon and so how did those two aspects of the work something which is contingent on what's already there and something which comes from the outside how did those two in your deal with you how do you deal with those two forces in the work you see many things together but i try to sort out a little bit it is it is it is to me there is of many people say to us like we don't understand that each time in every other project it can be so different i think it is it is for many reasons that first of all we believe that each project is different than you have to start and to want to find out where it's really is about as much as possible on the other hand you you find out throughout time our practices in this constitution now 10 years only that thanks to so having so many different ways of operating from housing to really large-scale buildings to exhibiting to making books to to to teach is that it gives you the opportunity to change each time to make it each time differently and then in one projects you are really conscious about bringing the things in the right way together again reading the context and then in a playful way at the end just shifting the things around to get on it but then to be in another context like in Charleroi in which you experience or this pavilion in which you experience almost the opposite interest of being busy with the ultimate detail the ultimate material composition or construction or whatever and in those projects you discover things like saying you know at the end the architectural detail as we all are longing for doesn't play a role anymore because the contractor has rules and they can do and so on and you discover by doing it like in a pavilion also yeah the whole thing that maybe it's because I'm now in Switzerland of being very precise with all the details turns over into something an experiment to try out and you find out that next to the fact that the other day you're in another building with that detail really working this is something else this differences in in all the project we do has to do I think with this wide first of all wide differences in jobs we get and on the other hand the very energy demanding optimism that for each project we take it as it comes and we don't want to take it as being part of a lined out idea where we think architecture is about I think that's the title also about this about that and so on and maybe it's true and I have to admit that the end everything comes together and there are things that come together but on the other hand I think that they also it's pro it's a sprawl of things are there questions from the audience I have more but maybe I think there's a microphone coming about your photographs of your project I think they are very carefully constructed or I would say that the aesthetics of it is very necessarily counter intuitive to the found quality that you are looking in a space and it reminds me of Gordon Metta Clark perspective that are so carefully crafted to describe an argument spatial argument then my question is how do you use photographs from a beginning of the project do you photograph them as a starting point or you end with them that's maybe something that I did not show today but well we have you know or understand with Philippe Dujardin quite a long understanding at this point and more recently last year's Philippe is also involved in documenting from the first moment the project that's also something we work on to collect it on the other hand to me this photograph thing is very Philippe I think is the first observer of all what we do and he photographs it I never go with a photographer on site to line out how they should look or what they should picture so all the photographs you see are independently taken by Philippe Dujardin and they bring our work in a certain perspective light viewpoint of which I say well it's it's what I was looking at or what I was wanting or what I was thinking like I hope people will look at this in this way and there are many other ways and the way photos and the way you I've shown you so secondly this this photograph thing becomes of course we have like 3 000 photographs of Philippe Dujardin actually on our work and for example the yellow stamp building I showed you is another project we started up with Philippe he is gonna photograph we're gonna photograph those things together as a kind of documentary on things we've as found so to me the photos of Philippe become another important instrument to look ourselves back to our work and when we evolve in work to bring it on the table and to change things there is for example another series we made with him in which he photographed in between building sites on which then we with collages paper collages we changed this the the trace of how we wanted to make the interior how it was for scene so those photographs become to me yeah they are they are quite important to me as you can understand as I shown them all or most of them but they are they are a comment to me on what they see and I do believe that that by his framing them all and then that comes in publications or lectures like this they they really express on from a distance where the work is about on the other hand I have to say and admit and I didn't took time to include those the archivist series is a new set of photographs a lot of black black white light shadow people around Juan Rodriguez is a photographer who works a lot with Alvaro Sica and you see all of a sudden a totally other approach of of captioning the work and I have to say I said it also to Philippe it's interesting to let now enter other photographers to view or to to observe the work so yes and then if you might know a little about filibuster dance work how it evolves nowadays he also let's say performs as an artist more and more and we cannot deny the fact that there are things in between what he is doing in personal interest and what we are doing in personal interest I still think something else need to come up in between us but yes it's it's it's quite important I don't know if this is an answer to your question somehow can I ask a slight follow-up which is I know I mean earlier today for instance we were walking up the stairs and you took a photograph of the pylon holding up in the door and I noticed at the end of the lecture you show a number of photographs and to me I your the compositional sensibility of the work seems informed by photography in the sense that photography also in a way automatically captures a contingent set of relationships that one finds in the world you don't go in and necessarily construct these things precisely as a composition in their own right you find in a way the composition already there and it seems like somehow the this archive not Philip's work but your own archive of photographs which I imagine there must be many of of things like the pylon holding the door open must in some way or like the the intersection at the Swiss and Italian border of the strange collection of objects that exist there must somehow inform also the sensibility about how to put things together in a project maybe I would like to widen it there a little bit more open to the idea of art and architecture as such in the sense that when I was raised as an architect this happened in a school which was a school for art and architecture I was I think one of the last generations who had that opportunity later on the school was sold out to the Bologna European standards of universities and faculties of architecture but at I had to admit that that when I studied this was quite an experience going out to a school to learn the job of the architect the constructor and to find a school in which studios of painting and studios of sculpture and studios of architecture were next to each other so if you missed the door you were in another world and then maybe the context of the Belgian scene in this architect in this art I believe is also to me well I have to admit it's my context I think if I start to think about I will say it now myself but but I try to avoid it but to think about Margrethe which has been brought many times around our work and thinking but also broad hearts thinking about it but then name you one will not know Rene Heavard which is this kind of fundamentalist minimalist picking up things out of context architect raised becoming an artist or I would say Francis Alice who is maybe much more in this political way of working I think this is if I can if it helps to explain it's not only about art about photography of those things but it's also about this surrounding of things in which I think I see when I look to the Belgian art scene the sensitivity to that is quite important is quite prominent to say so I do think that's why this the work we make is often relate back to this idea of this kind of objet trouvée dailiness this kind of idea in art that comes back so I bring it now back to art and I don't want to bring it with a word to reference because references often this kind of words I say oh it's a reference so oh it's good no that's the academical smallness of thinking I have to say but I mean the references it's the art is not the reference the art is a kind of condition is a kind of context which we cannot deny or I cannot deny when I make my work but it's not art it's architecture and it's related to dailiness and the photograph or the painting can go to work of an artist can capture that I got a microphone here we work together five five six years ago and as people may realize that this point you're quite a special man I'm getting really ready for dinner but we'll we'll keep going and going and going and this was how meetings were with you I think it's actually quite nice to realize that you are a special man and it's nice it's nice to be around you but you come also from a fairly special place and to borrow from your last answer you're from from Belgium from from the Flemish part of Belgium which is an incredibly poetic place probably more poetic than most places in Europe and I've been wondering all those years like what would your work be like if you were asked to do a house in Holland where I'm from or a project in the south of France or in all these other places can your your language translate to those places and how would you try to understand the context and I should admit we also worked on a project that was supposed to travel from country country to country together I cannot talk about the project you know I've signed here maybe if I talk about now that I might be jailed this night well actually which is a funny story I found out that we built a building or a set of houses in Holland we designed them for the city in Amersfoort for the developers and we passed their very fast development commission and then we heard nothing about it and I discovered half a year ago that they were in the meantime built that's how it goes when you do it in Holland and the funny thing is that they look very Flemish on the outside and they look very hollandish on the inside and I don't mean then the traditional hollandish way but the way how now houses are built in Holland well the side story your question is what it would be when we work abroad so yes in Holland we did really of the we built really in the city center of Amersfoort and we did really a big survey on understanding the historical building idea and by that we could really the well-stands it at that time the commission was 12 apartments they expected the building with apartments and it got 12 houses even the even the investor was surprised on it and we kept it passed just because it was better and this was the whole thing so I still don't understand what happened afterwards in Italy we worked also so perhaps let's refine it a little bit can you work without a poetic client can I frame back this Francis Alisting I loved very much this political and this poetic the two words coming together even phonetically how we place them together I don't think at any time our goal is in what we make to be poetic and I don't think at any time in what we make we want to be political but I do think that in the work we make the economy I can I don't know if you find this of of main importance but we keep every budget we keep every budget we never make any mistake in budget if we say is that important for architecture I know for most of the world-star architects this is of non-importance but I don't believe this architecture is about that I don't believe architecture is about being poetic what I do believe is that it's nice that later on you can live and work in it and discover a moment of poetry in it so all those things are to me or to us not goals or briefs we give ourselves when we make things but I'm sometimes myself surprised how easily you can bring them to the fore to the foregone where everyone believes like I know it is poetry and but I think yeah as long as it's never a goal and as long as you keep your eyes wide shut you never will find them and and and then this is to me an appreciation not a goal and not a mission and I don't think a poet writes to become poetic he writes to write he writes to write a poem and then later on we see whether he sees whether people found it poetic or not I guess I hope others it's a misunderstanding of my side but no I think to me what you see is economic economy my opinion if we if this this caritas building 100 000 more than demolishing it's about economy the same with the large thing we are doing right now it's about economy it's about re diffusing money over a building project but then at the end probably at the end of the opening I'm pretty sure people will say what a poetic park did we got I hear it saying I hear it saying now already but I'm sometimes really annoyed with that thing but I don't mind you ask what you say and I'm also glad it is there but but it's not the drive to do things at the end people should be able to sleep in bedrooms I think that might set up the last question so thank you it was it's a nice lecture so I followed your work for a while and even though you don't like to think of references I sort of understand the impact your office is having on a lot of European offices I think which is to say that you guys are being used as a reference quite often and it's less of a question I guess than like a concern which I'm curious about your reaction which is your work is very careful but maybe has a potential to be lazy and so it's like on a knife edge and I think while when you guys do it it's very nice and very appropriate and maybe moral let's say I have this concern that there's all these people copying you doing it very poorly and in that case it's actually over it could be a real a big problem it could be unsafe could be you know a lot of things more just uncomfortable or maybe not beautiful and I was just curious knowing the impact you're having on a lot of architecture students and offices what what what you think or if there's a solution or some thought well solution yeah what what can I say about it I think it's it's a very difficult question honestly because it's sensitive towards people I mean yes I sometimes and very often I would like to talk with people on this of which and yeah you see those things you exactly frame the risks I have to say I don't have a solution to that but I would love to talk more about it often with people it is it is well yeah what do you want eh on one hand you want what no it's not that I want to make work that could be a reference to one someone else on the other hand you want to make good work so inevitable it becomes part of a debate and maybe before it becomes part of a debate it becomes part of I see it I admit but I don't feel guilty for it but it becomes part of a culture one could say to okay and I think it's it's okay I think on one hand that that that we can help to change minds on it but of course everyone shoots for himself or a self-keep in mind that what we exactly do is try to create freedoms to then do some things which at the end people might call poetic and I do think then then I miss sometimes another work the the freedom taking that freedom to then their design and draw it just again a little bit different but it's it is it is a thing which I'm not ready with and I I'm quite concerned about also but which is a very difficult topic because I believe it doesn't deliver wrong things not at all but I'm sometimes hungry on that kind of small challenge that comes back that could come back and talking about laziness well I use it often to say it but I do think it's not about laziness so in that sense it's true it's Philip Dujardin as a practical joke sometimes sent me photographs to congratulate me with a new project that I haven't made and of course which is not at all having at all on the other hand to deliver the summer of very nice things of which I don't know what to say but I got overwhelmed by reactions of congratulations that I won a competition in Austria in Australia over summer a quite big thing and when I found out it was a competition in which our name was prominently there and then two other names and one name was of a guy I said oh yes true I know this name I know this guy it was clear to me that it was probably not a practical joke because it was announced on Divisare so it was official but it wasn't true an experiment of a studio in Australia guided by that man who somehow I still don't understand exactly how it happened but somehow they entered an official competition or something and he asked to his students to act like a practice so this student group together with our name entered the competition and won it it's good as summer when you receive that message but it's I don't know I really don't know exactly how I should answer your question honestly but I I really understand your concern thank you those two last questions were

Man Explores 16th Century Shipwreck, Looks Closer And Races To Surface
Moment Of Truth
When he returned to the surface, he was gasping for air. His heart pounded as he realized what was lying beneath his feet.
He thought about swimming back to shore to ask for help and who was to say it would still be here upon his return? No, he was diving down again. Only now, it was a race against time, it was a matter of life and death.

Man explores 16th-century shipwreck, looks closer, and races to surface. When he returned to the surface, he was gasping for air. His heart pounded as he realized what was lying beneath his feet. He thought about swimming back to shore to ask for help and who was to say it would still be here upon his return. No, he was diving down again. Only now, it was a race against time, it was a matter of life and death. It was a beautiful still, sunny morning as Teddy Tucker swam along the Bermuda Coral Reef. The ocean was as blue and clear as the sky above him. It felt like the calm before the storm, and it was literally. Growing up beside the ocean, locals joked that Tucker had become more fish than man. He loved to explore the ocean's floor, especially in a place as interesting as Bermuda. Bermuda was famous for its 16th-century shipwrecks. Hundreds of ships over hundreds of years had fallen victim to a mysteriously deadly area just beyond the Coral Reef called Bermuda's Triangle. Over the years, Tucker had collected a lot of metal salvaged from the shipwrecks around the area. But he never thought he'd actually find a real-life treasure. Tucker had spent two hours swimming, with only his swimsuit shorts on and snorkeling goggles, he dove beneath the ocean overturning every object that seemed interesting. But things were about to get much more interesting and dangerous than he bargained for. It was when the first wave crashed underneath the ocean that he realized he was in trouble. Tucker resurfaced and suddenly realized that the sky had turned grey, the ocean choppy and rough, and the winds, dangerous. There was a hurricane forming. He had to get out now. He dove again swimming closer to the shore underwater, beneath the waves. But then, he saw it. Most men might have kept swimming to get to safety, but Tucker wasn't most men. From the corner of his eye, Tucker saw something unusual on the ocean floor. There was an odd bump in the sandy bed and something seemed to sparkle as it nestled on top of it. Tucker swam toward it for a closer look. He brushed its surface and dug around it. An old rusty cannon appeared. But this wasn't any old cannon. His heart leaped forwards as he realized what he saw. Along with the cannon, affixed on its sides and disguised between corals and other ocean organisms were three-quarter-inch gold buttons that were studded with pearls. Just as Tucker began to recover from his shock, he realized he had unturned what looked like silver coins from the ocean bed. Tucker couldn't believe what he was seeing, but he needed to leave for air. Then things took a disastrous turn. When Tucker returned to the surface, he was gasping for air. But not because he was underwater for so long. It was because of the big waves that were crashing overhead. The hurricane was now in full swing as the wind, rain, and waves tore through the atmosphere. But Tucker couldn't bring himself to leave. He had to discover what else was down there before the storm made everything too hard to see. Now, it was a race against time. Tucker took a big final breath and dove back towards his astonishing discovery. As soon as he dug he found more treasures, another gold and pearl button, two gold inglows with a royal Spanish tax stamp visible on their surface, and about 200 silver coins. He felt like he had just won the lottery, and he did. But the ocean was done revealing its treasures to Tucker just yet. After Tucker put his finds into a bag he carried around in his pocket, he continued to dig. He was moving as fast as he could. It wasn't soon before he found another inglow and remarkably a ten-and-a-half inch long, 36-ounce bar of gold and a smaller piece. With all of this, he could scarcely have hoped that the best was yet to come. But it was. When Tucker first saw it, it was lying upside down in the sand. He picked it up and turned it over, and his jaw hit the floor. He knew this was something even more special than any gold or treasure he found before. I picked it up and turned it over. Awestruck, I counted the large green emeralds on its face. There were seven of them, each as big as a musket ball, Tucker marveled. What was it? Teddy Tucker found the world's single most valuable object ever found in a shipwreck. The treasure, named Tucker's Cross, was an emerald studded, 22-karat gold cross. Tucker's Cross alone was worth more than $2 million. And its emerald stones are considered the most beautiful stones in the world. So how much did Tucker sell it for? Amazingly, Tucker was offered $2 million from a US ambassador to Italy but refused as he wanted the jewel to stay in Bermuda. Tucker ended up selling his most prized possession to the Bermuda government for a measly $35,000, under the condition that it will stay in Bermuda for as long as possible. But fate had different plans. After Tucker's Cross was recovered, the government of Bermuda constructed a new museum. It was to feature a collection of rare artifacts, including those found by Tucker and other finds from Bermuda shipwrecks. Word quickly spread in Queen Elizabeth was one of the first high-profile people to visit its timeless collection. Tucker helped prepare the museum for her arrival. But he made a startling discovery. While he transported the Cross to an area of private collections, he realized the Cross and the glass case wasn't real. It had been replaced by a plastic replica. Shocked, he informed the police and they immediately jumped on the case. Unfortunately, his most valued treasure is still missing today. It remains my most treasured discovery he reminisced.

Okay, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's a great pleasure to be here, introducing our panelists. Mark and Iver have already been introduced. What I'm going to do is ask our two additional panelists to come up here. We have Harry Hendricks, who's the business architect at HPE Enterprise. Harry's also in the EMEA office of the CTO at HPE, and he initiated the business architecture workgroup that led to the open BA standard. Harry, could you join us up on the podium here? And then the fourth panelist is Mike Lambert. Mike is a fellow of the open group, and a former CTO of the open group, and one of the pioneers of the TOGAF standard. And when we're talking about pioneers, we mean back in the day. Okay. Please welcome these gentlemen up here. We're going to feel some questions. Can you guys pick a chair that clusters so we can get everybody on the cameras? You're not sitting down. I'm not sitting down. I'll move over then. All right. So in having brief conversations with the panelists leading up to this meeting, what I said to them was, this is really a high-energy topic, how you develop open standards. So one of the things that we would like to do is actually engage in a dialogue with folks about the most recent standards that have been developed, how we get there, and what the dynamic is for creating an open standard, okay? So in terms of background, we're not going to ask you to write down questions. If you have questions, there's a microphone in the middle of the floor, okay? We would ask you to come up and queue up. No doubt the line will be out the door. We are going to also answer questions about the last presentation from Ivor and from Mark about the Archimate, the newly released standard. In developing an open group standard, there are certain principles that are followed and guiding the standards process. Now, all of the material for developing a standard through the open group is published on our publications website. So the first principle for the open group is openness. That is not only being open in behavior, but being seen to be open by publishing the material and making it available for everybody, okay? So public availability is also a very important approach for us and leads to adoption. In adoption, one of the things we consider is that there's no legal impediment to the adoption of the standards. So we manage the way in which competitors meet and what they're allowed to discuss during the meetings. The staff manage that. We also try and respect the confidentiality of the materials being developed. Understand that we have more than 500 member companies in the open group at some point in time collaborating around the delivery of their IPR to the open group. And we need to respect the discussions that occur in those spaces and how that information is transferred to us for development of standards. The process is necessarily timely and deterministic. So we put a process in place that allows for relatively rapid delivery of standards. And the approach we take on a daily basis is one of consensus, not of voting if we can avoid it. But all of those contexts are something that are managed and worked through with the folks that are on the stage with me here today. So firstly, I would like to ask, are there any questions for Ivor and Mark about the standard presentation that they made just now? If there are, please put your hand up. Could you go to the microphone, please, sir? For Archimate 3, how big is the vocabulary and how much of it do you need to be to know to be conversant in Archimate 3? How many symbols? How many symbols in total? If you look at the total set of concepts, I think it's about 16 now, but there's a lot of commonality between the three layers. So you have things like the business process, application process and technology process. The actual set that you have to learn is a lot smaller than these 60 different concepts. We started out with, I think, about 30 in version one, and now it's up to 60, but with this large overlap in symbols, in definitions. So that's the total size. And then there's a number of relationships as well, of course. The only thing I would add to that is that it's all online. The entire spec is online, and the spec has a table of contents. So it's very easy to see what's at your disposal and then click just in the table of contents and then just click on the table of contents link to find it. So even if you only know a few of the concepts, you can actually become productive pretty quickly. Maybe also to add to that, what we advise usually our users in practice is that you shouldn't start using all the concepts at the same time. Usually you grow into that. You start with a smaller subset to really address the issues you're working on. Archiment is, of course, a language that it's intended for a broad audience. So it has quite a number of concepts for different areas of the architecture. But in practice, for a specific use case, you won't need all of them at the same time. Do we have another question from the floor? Yes, sir. If you have a question, you can just queue up. You don't need to wave your hand. Just wondering about the physical layer that you introduced. It looked to me, it's more like a supply chain or a value chain type of representation. I just wonder, have you considered doing it that way versus introducing a brand new layer? The physical layer underneath the technology. So I saw that you have like, you know, how different things happen, like a process dependency or step dependency, right? Yeah, well, the main concepts in the physical layer, the new concepts for these physical things are equipment and material and facility and distribution network. So they're really about the physical stuff out there that's used in a factory or in a laboratory or for the Internet of Things. So it's not really a value chain kind of model, but you can use that in that context. Yeah, I mean, I gave a supply chain example, but if you saw also in the Connected Health case study thing, you know, there was not only the ordering, but we were also showing how the device is used with IT infrastructure for data acquisition. So supply chain is just one of the many ways that you could use the physical layer. I'll use an example from a steel factory in my presentation later today, so that's really physical manufacturing. So how much of that is really architecture versus specific design of how things work flow? Well, you could have, we could dedicate the whole day to having a debate on the distinction between architecture and design, but, you know, as an enterprise architect, my job generally is to clarify the business processes, is to clarify what's going on, and for that I use, you know, I use that, and so if I were working in an area where something is physical, I may not be the inventor of the device or the inventor of the manufacturing process, but it's important to clarify it so that we can, so that we can develop the information systems necessary to support it. And that's what I see using the physical layer for, at least at first. And typically you would link down to some more detailed specification of this physical world in another language, like you would for software to UML or for processes to BPMN. For the physical world, there are other design practices, and you would link to those, and Archimedes tries to be an umbrella and links things together, but it's certainly not going to replace the design world of physical machinery, for example. Thank you. We have another question on the Archimate presentation. Okay, I want to start off the questions relative to the standards process and the materials that have been delivered and are being spoken about here today. Actually, Mike Lembert, I'd like to ask you a question here. What we've seen are presentations of the content of the standards and use cases of a standard, and the impression may be that the standards are the only thing that get produced. Can you take us through a little bit what is there beyond the standards that are value to people? Wow, that's a good question to start with, isn't it? The most recent standard I've been involved with probably for the last five years is Togaf. And if you just read the Togaf standard, it's not really very helpful to anybody on its own. Because what it is, it is a basic, agreed, common way of approaching enterprise architecture. What you need is help. And what you need is skilled people, predictable tools, and guidance. Surrounding most of our standards now is a certification program, and the certification program provides some statements that there are people who are skilled in using those standards. Around a lot of our standards, there is software. There is some kind of tooling. Certification makes statements about that tooling, but much, much more important is a question of guidance. Because Togaf is great. I've been involved with it for many years, so I think it's great, but I would hate to have to use it without the body of knowledge that's built up around it. Something that I call the Togaf ecosystem. Everybody who uses Togaf has to make some decisions about how they're going to use it. And what's really valuable to us is that a lot of those people have taken the time to document how they use Togaf in a particular environment. So the ecosystem that surrounds it is much more important in many ways than just the underlying standard. So as an illustration of that point, I mentioned earlier that the standards themselves are published on the website. Adoption is an important thing. The case studies that you're going to see this week as a participant here in this conference will be published on a link from the agenda for this event in the history of events. That means that in order to foster adoption, we make available to all attendees all materials presented here. And with your registered ID, you can get access to that material which constitutes a part of the ecosystem that illustrates how other organizations, whether they're members of the open group or not, is not relevant. The adoption is what's relevant. And the method of adoption that occurs in your industry or other industries is one of the powerful things that is available to you through engagement with open standards. So as a reminder, in about two weeks, using your registered ID, you can come back to the open group website to this event and gain access to all of the materials. This is true on an ongoing basis for members. Okay? One of the interesting things around adoption is also that we frequently see things popping up in the most unexpected places. So as an illustration to the work that Mark and Iva have put in to the Archimate Standard, the customs authority in China, unbeknownst to us and not members of the open group, implemented in Beijing last year, how they have taken an adoption approach for an open standard, they didn't ask us about it, they just went ahead and did it, and then they drilled down through the connectivity of the cloud infrastructure they've implemented, and they showed us how they use that standard to help them manage the HVAC function for their data centers. Not the servers only, but all of the infrastructure related to managing their data centers. So the power of the open standards is that you can retrieve them and use them independently to add value to your business. Harry, we have heard a lot today from Jeff and Aaron about business architecture. How does the open BA standard address the issues that Jeff outlined? And if you could, would you talk a little bit about the way of thinking, the ways approach and the way of thinking in particular, because it intrigues at least me? Yes, I think that's a very interesting question, because what Jeff Scott this morning did in his presentation, he showed very, very well how diverse are the diversity of organizations is and their thinking. And I think one of the most important parts of talking about standards is talking about the way of thinking, because that determines what the standard is and what it will be and what it will resolve. If the way of thinking is not connected, then you have a problem to communicate with each other. So when we trigger this to the business architecture standard, then I think the history which will be shown this afternoon a little bit in the track as well. We will have several presentations which will get a little bit deeper in the different aspects, but the way of thinking will be also shown that it is kind of, at least for me it is, and I think some may confirm that as well, it's not the one avenue road to this standard. It has been many avenues and the point was there was now a certain point in the time that we could say, okay, these avenues, they all seem more or less alike. Just people don't know yet. And that's how we started two years ago. Okay, let's try to get sufficient mass to get this process started and to do the alignment for this. And that started with the way of thinking, by the way, because I discovered that a few years ago there was an article which wrote about what are the structural issues of enterprise transformations. I thought, well, every enterprise needs to go into transformations nowadays and even more accelerated than these. So if we could connect this with the business architecture, that would be great. And they really had spot on three structural issues which they identified as, that's the problem we have to solve to become more successful in strategy execution. So the three are and will be elaborated this afternoon as well. One is the systemic view of transformations. Many things are dependent on and many other things. So how do we explain to each other how this all relates to each other and what the impact for me as a stakeholder would be? Then the second one would be consistent communication. If at the beginning of an initiative I have an idea and I want to get it done at the end of the transformation cycle, in the 90s there were two years beyond the starting and the end point, nowadays it may be a scrum, but still the problem is the same. It has to be consistently pulled through that transformation cycle. So the consistent communication is very important. The problem is that usually during the process the people who had the idea are not the same people who design or develop it, so we need some kind of communication and structure around this. And then the third one is also to align these different stakeholders and that relates more to the first part of the transformation cycle itself. So we have to get from idea to a vision to a strategy and how do we get aligned those stakeholders who don't have time to discuss too much with the people who have to mobilize this. So you really have to be prepared to get the alignment of stakeholders and I think that's exactly the point where the open business architecture standard can help you. It will enable and guide you to create the views and the different structured narratives which can easily be understood by normal people and not designers or modeling techniques. And I think these are the most important part of the business architecture standard, but driven by we have identified the common problem and that's the way of thinking. Okay, the response that Harry just gave I've been fortunate enough to see you present on a similar sort of topic about how to enable communication with an architected approach and using Archimate. Would you agree that it's possible to use these models and diagrams as a communication vehicle for collaboration and strategic intent? Absolutely, absolutely. Archimate is basically just the bread and butter that I use to clarify what it is the business wants and where it's going and then we're collaboratively to show the systems that are necessary to support that business intent. In fact, that's just what I've been doing over the past week. My main assignment was to clarify an application of big data to a particular set of marketing processes and so first I modeled the processes and I got everyone to agreed on that. Then I modeled the exposed behaviors, the application services that those processes would have to, what would require. And then I modeled the applications and the technology using input from engineering teams, et cetera and just at the end of the week, in fact, Friday before I was gone for a few days so I was relieved there was actually really a consensus and that's what we're going to do. And part of that also, especially in the agile world is coming down to the minimal viable product. What's the essence? What's the least of this that can be important? And in my final set of Archimate diagrams it was very clear what was the minimal viable product and what were the key additions to really fulfill the vision. So yes, I'm using that every day, every week to clarify communication. Can I just add that I don't think that any architecture models communicate. They are tools to enable architects to communicate. Sending somebody architecture models as attachments to email is very dangerous because in general they don't understand them. If you take them through them, these are wonderful tools. Absolutely, I always take people through things but they also like something to hold on to that they can point to after the presentation saying that this is what we're going to do. I did several years ago a big multi-layer contact center CRM architecture for the financial services company I was working for. The VP of contact center took it and hung it outside of his office because it was something very tangible, something visible about what we were building. Yes, I like your remark very much because that was one of the problems we had to solve in the business architecture as well. The first thing we thought, well in fact we need a common language if we are people with diverse interests and goals or maybe with diverse languages, we need something in common. I discovered during all these work groups on the business architecture as well, well there's only a limited set of concepts to be used and then we can handle it. So why not formalizing these concepts? We want you to apply it in any industry and that's a real strength. So we started to develop those concepts and then building a common language. So no modeling, just a common language. One concepts relate to the other which improves the understanding. So we have a little bit more than 20 concepts to be used to guide people through from ID to vision to strategy and implementation plan and then it can be pulled through to the design and development phase. And it can be enriched between the argument and the standard, I believe. One is more focused on the real narratives and the languages. The other one is very strong in the modeling and the communication between designers and developers. So I think there's a good world open to combine those two in the common transformations. May I add to that? I think it's also important to realize that Archimate is not just a graphical notation. You have these concepts which have relationships which can be visualized in different ways. You can have an architecture diagram for the architects but you can have, say, a matrix or a list or any other visualization of the same model content for different stakeholders and that's very important to realize. Archimate is not just intended as something to produce pretty pictures. It's really also a way of making clear how things are related and how you can reason about that, how you can analyze that. So it's also a vocabulary, it's also a set of relationships that helps you to do that. So don't just see it as something to create pictures with. Right. Exactly. I think Archimate promotes better thinking. I train a lot of solution architects and things and then they start using Archimate and it's clearer what they want to do. And the other thing I'd like to say is that it seems that, you know, recently I looked at the U.S. NIST, National Institutes of Standards and Technology, Big Data Reference Architecture and I started mapping that to Archimate and I found that it was very easy. Much of it is written, of that standard, is written in terms of capabilities, resources and business roles which map directly to Archimate, so it was a matter of transcription. And I'm not aware of any explicit connection between the open group and the standards efforts by this U.S. government agency, but clearly there seems to be some convergence in how we talk about things. Yes, maybe I could make another remark on this, how I see this evolve. I've always been involved or mostly been involved in the idea to strategy planning and implementation phase and I sometimes tell people, one should be more like a magician, so all the techniques which are included in the standard, just keep them under the cover. They are for using them at the right time just in time, just enough. And it's like a magician, you just show them, wow, that works. So if you can achieve that type of, let's say, leveraging the process between the different views of the stakeholder, that's really terrific and that's all what the standard will provide you with. So the consulting skills, I fully agree this morning with Jeff Scott's consulting skills, very important techniques for the magician behind the cover and just act in the process. I think when Aaron was talking, he showed you towards the end of the diagram an illustration of the member companies and the individuals from those companies involved in delivering or developing the open VA standard. And I just want to illustrate with the folks on the stage here how this is representative. Iver at Cambia is what we would refer to as part of a member organization from the customer community. Mark and Harry are from suppliers, representative member community. And Mike is a little bit unusual. He's been in and out of industry but right now his role is as a fellow of the open group. The point that I'm trying to make here is that this is actually a diverse population contributing to the development of open standards. And so my question to you, and let's maybe go from Iver this direction, is why are you doing this? Why are you involved in the open standards community and particularly in the open group either from a company value perspective or personally and professionally if I might probe you on that a little bit? Iver? Well, two reasons. First of all, strategically, I think that what Cambia is trying to do to become sort of this integrated technology-enabled health delivery company from being a health insurer and is in that transition is very complex and benefits from the leading edge in various areas. So in working in the standards process I'm exposed to leading edge thinking in a lot of different areas and not just in the archimage and risk area white paper that we did several years ago where we foreshadowed a lot of the things that went into the current standards. I was really looking very holistically at risk and complexity and got a lot out of that that I put directly into the company. And as a result of being in the standards process I'm in touch with enterprise architects all around the world and I'm aware of different techniques and I'm able to deploy them immediately in my company whether they're standardized or not. And then, you know, and then the other thing is that personally I find it just tremendous development because my work, you know, I write a lot of things and it's roundly criticized by people and then the best of it is accepted. And so I learn a lot about how to express myself to people that on the surface I don't seem to have a lot in common with how could they possibly understand what I go through day to day. I'll never meet them. They're on the other side of the world. But and also just professionally learning how to express myself in this way and just learning about the other problems that people face. So it's just been a tremendous developmental thing that contributes to my performance day to day as an enterprise architect. Well, to start from a personal perspective since I've been involved with Archimedes from its very inception I was the project manager when in my previous job at the Dutch Applied R&D Institute. Of course it's very interesting and nice to see the development of your work over the years and now it's been 15 years now that I've been involved with Archimedes and it's of course very satisfying to see how it's picked up internationally and how it's become a really popular standard, etc. So being involved in that, that's certainly a very important personal motivation for me. From the perspective of business design I think I see two main reasons that we're involved in this. First of all it's because we can serve our own clients in a better way because they have certain needs and we can influence the standard to cater to these needs. So that's one important aspect. The other is that of course the open group gives us visibility as experts in this area. So there's also, well you could say a marketing aspect associated to that. We can show that we're good at this stuff. So I think those are the two main drivers for the company to be involved in this. So it's certainly to help our clients that's the most important driver I would say. But also visibility. Harry? Yes. Well a personal reason to be in this. I started my career as, well I'm an economist and I started my career as a marketer. So thinking of what's needed in the market and how can I provide good services to that need in the marketplace. And since I was born I think like a system thinker, I tried to get that communicated to people but that's not easy if you are a system thinker because there are too many aspects which relate to each other. And that kind of drove me all the way down to where we are now. Okay, how can we communicate this and how can I, could I convince these stakeholders that this is a sensible investment to do. And that's how I got to the language we needed and to the modeling aspects I took in the background and to the process we needed to get stakeholders involved and convinced. But that's a personal drive. Now when we relate this to HP Enterprise then I believe there's, we have many contracts with clients which are very big, 100 millions of dollars. And there are commercial processes to those clients as well. And in order to get all those different disciplines aligned to what the client really expects from us and what they really need it seemed to be very, very helpful. And that's how we started to leverage this and to develop that capability within our company. And the open group has been a tremendous vehicle because it brought together a few lines of thinking which were very, very close to each other. And that's how we recognized this and how we started to jump in and to give the leverage. Right. Quite an interesting question. I first got involved with this organization as the representative of a supplier company. The motivation of that supplier company was nothing less than survival in a competitive market. And the early days of this organization, when it gets open, I think put off the demise of the European computer industry by a decade by providing a platform that all of the European vendors could use to attract the software industry. I came into the open group. I became the chief technical officer. My current motivation is directly related to Togaf. I was at the first ever meeting with the architecture where we decided on bringing Tafim into the open group. I've been involved with Togaf throughout and as I reach the end of my full-time career, my motivation is to see the next version of Togaf successfully delivered to the market. Why? Because I've been engaged for the last 10 years working with many companies around the world. And I've seen the lights come on when they suddenly figure out what we're talking about. You're not talking about drawing boxes and lines, are you? You're talking about communication. You're talking about relationships. So my personal motivation now is to get the next version out to market. Do we have any questions from the floor? I asked you to queue up, nobody's queued up, but maybe it's because I've been talking too much. Okay, Mike. I'll ask a question, then I'll answer it. Why is it so important that we've got customers, vendors, et cetera, in the same room? And the answer is that if you get vendors in a room developing standards, their motivation is minimalistic, so it doesn't affect their products, their business. Having customers in the room provides that balance because the customers say no. You simply can't duck that issue because if you duck that issue, what you're doing is of absolutely no use to us at all. Having both sides of the industry in the room at the same time is the thing which ensures that what comes out is of value. I just want to reinforce that point because as I used ArchaMate 2, I worked a bit on ArchaMate 2 and as we used it over the years, there were things that really didn't work that really didn't work for me, that were shortcomings of the language and I was able to communicate them to Mark and my other colleague through the standards process and those things are fixed. There are just a large number of things that I can trace back to a complaint that I had about the standard that I was able to communicate constructively to the right people. So that's fulfilling and it does work. I think to underscore that from a perspective of somebody who's responsible for the architecture products is that I'm going to ask Mark to comment on the actual process of delivery for ArchaMate so you have an understanding of what goes on. But what I was just illustrated is because it's an open standard you only have to engage in order to influence and make the changes that are necessary in the standards for your business value, whether that's your value from our perspective as a customer organization or as a supplier. So the critical thing here is engagement. Mark, you just nurse-mated with either in the ArchaMate forum the delivery of the standard to market as a member organization. Can you talk a little bit about from ideation through to delivery what you guys went through and how you operated? Well, the first initiative coming to version 3 of the standard started about two years ago. I was personally involved in that because that was really the point that we saw that it was time for a new version. There was input from various angles. First of all, there was this sort of a bug tracking system that the open group has request for change or issues with the standard. So that was an important input. We had from various different sources we had ideas about how to improve the standard, how to extend it. So what I started doing that summer was draw up a basically a large spreadsheet of all the things we might want to have in version 3. That was then discussed within the ArchaMate forum and basically decided upon that this is the set of requirements for version 3, this is the stuff and then we started working on that. First, we developed with a fairly small core team a draft of the next version over about the period I would say fall 2013 until summer 2014. So in summer last year we had the first drafts available with everything covered that we had in this list of requirements. And then we went into the official standardization process where we have the two levels of review, first the ArchaMate forum review so everybody in the forum could comment on that. Lots of comments came back of course. We addressed those came up with a second version that went through the company review many comments again of course those were addressed and that was then the version that was eventually standardized. So the whole process until the standard was completely finalized took us about two years. So from first idea that it was time for a new version until the delivery of version 3 last month that was about two years in total. I think we've done a pretty good job in compressing that time and sometimes it was a bit stressful but we really wanted to deliver it on time and I think we are blessed by the fact that the ArchaMate community working on the standard is fairly small and fairly coherent. I think Togaf has a larger challenge because it's a much more diverse and much bigger community and Togaf itself as a standard is a lot larger so moving that into the future is of course a much bigger effort so I think we are pretty flexible and nimble as a fairly small team and that really helped us as well. Thank you. One more opportunity for a question from the floor if there is one. Okay I want to wrap up here thank our panelists for their candor and their expertise thank you very much gentlemen

Those who are online, please type in your names, waiting for everybody to join. Okay, Rithvik is there, Rohan is there. Okay, sure. Fine. So let us start solving the question. So we have solved, I think, 57 questions yesterday. All right. So let us start from question number 58. Okay. Start solving these in front of your screen. These are comment K 2007. What is the answer for 58? Are you guys able to hear me? What is the answer for this? Large selectivity. Large selectivity as in the sharpness of the resonance is not much. It's blunt. Yes. So it can select larger frequency. Okay. Now quality factor of a circuit is omega L by R, right? This represents the sharpness of the resonance. Okay. Now we don't want very sharp resonance to happen. So L should be small. Sorry. Yeah. L should be small and R should be large. Then quality is less and the sharpness is not there. Okay. All these guys quick. Okay. 59 and 50, 59 and 60 also 59 and 60. Force of attraction between two parallel current carrying conductor is F Newton per meter. Current through each of them are doubled and reversed. New force between these conductors is what? Now we know that if current are parallel, they will attract. Isn't it? They will attract or ripple. If current are in the same direction, they will attract or ripple. The magnetic field is into the plane. So L cross V. So that's why there will be attraction if current is in the same direction. Okay. Now you can see that currents are current through each of them are doubled and reversed. Okay. So if current is reversed, we can say that both the currents are reversed. Then again it will be repulsion only or it will be attraction only and the option A should be correct. Okay. But if the current through only one is reversed, then it will be force of repulsion. Option B will be correct if the current only in one of the wires is reversed. Okay. 60. Okay. Others. You know right how to convert emitter into a voltmeter? Alright. So emitter has a resistance of this much and it can read up to 5 ampere. So basically in order to have full deflection through the emitter, the current through it should be 5 ampere. Okay. So this emitter, the current should not go beyond 5 ampere. Alright. So if you have an emitter like this and suppose an unknown resistance is there. Okay. You want to make sure that this complete arrangement emitter plus unknown resistance should read up to what voltage should read up to 100 volt. Okay. Now for 100 volt, there should be full deflection. Right. So for 100 volt, full deflection should be seen. Okay. So how much should be the current over here? This current should be how much? That current should be 5 ampere only. Right. So 5 ampere is needed for emitter to have full deflection. Okay. So 5 into the resistance of emitter that is 0.1 plus unknown resistance, this should be equal to 100. Okay. So r is 20 minus 0.1 or 19.9 ohms in series. Understood all of you? Any doubt? Okay. One thing I have just found out that definition of selectivity is something else. So it is just, I think you should know what the definition of selectivity, there is nothing analytical about it. Okay. So the selectivity, the high selectivity or large selectivity, there is a correction. Okay. Whatever I said in question number 58, I am correcting myself. Okay. So large selectivity means that it should be selecting a particular frequency with high accuracy. Okay. So the peak should be sharp. It should not be blunt. Fine. The peak should be sharp. And in order for the peak to be sharp, quality factor should be higher. Okay. And Q factor will be higher only when L is large and R is small. So that is an option A is correct. Okay. So this definition of large selectivity means that the peak should be sharp. Okay. This is a small correction, question number 58. Please make a note of it. All right. Let us go to the next question. So this is comet K 2007 papers question. All right. So attempt these question number one onwards. I'm assuming you are able to read it. If it is not readable, please let me know. I'll dictate it. First one is two. All of you got first one has two. No. First one is not two. Answer for first one given in the book is three. Okay. Let me solve the first one. Ray of light traveling from glass to air. Refractive index of the glass is 1.5. The angle of incidence is 50 degrees. The deviation of the rays is what? Sorry. It will bend away from the normal, right? It is traveling from glass to air. It will bend away like this. Okay. This is the original path. All right. This is also 50 degrees. And this is the angle of deviation. This angle. This angle is angle of refraction are fine. So Snell's law says refractive index into sign of angle in that medium 1.5 sign 50 degrees. That should be equal to 1 into sign of R. Got it? So R is equal to sign inverse 1.5 sign of 50 degrees. So the angle of deviation is R minus 50 degrees. So sign inverse 1.5 sign 50 minus 50 degrees. This is the angle of deviation. Which is not in the option itself. The option is wrong. It should be 1.5 into sign 50. Then only this is right. All of you understood question number one? Second. Yes. The second one option one is correct. So in the second one, the apparent depth is D divided by root 2 plus D divided by N. This is your apparent depth. Which will come out to be first. Third one. What is the answer? It is a right angle isosceles triangle. So since it is isosceles and right angle, these two angles are 45 degrees. Okay. And the ray of light incident normally on one face of a right angle triangle. It then grazes the hypotenuse. So since it has to graze the hypotenuse. Second one is direct formula. It is D divided by its refractive index plus D divided by the second refractive index. Okay. So the third one, if the ray comes and hits the surface like this. What will happen to the ray? It will go straight. Undeviated. It will go like this. Because angle of incidence is 0. Okay. Now it has to graze the surface. So this ray will go like this. So angle of refraction is 90 degree. And this is 45 degree. This is also 45. So that is as well 45. Now let's say refractive index is mu. So I can say that mu into sine of 45 degree should be equal to 1 into sine of 90 degree. Okay. So mu is equal to root 2, which is 1.414. Okay. All right. Let us go to the next. Solve these. For 4, option 2 is rewrite 1. So the equivalent focal length formula is 1 by F is equal to 1 by F1 plus 1 by F2 minus D by F1, F2. Remember this formula. This type of question is again and again getting asked. Okay. D is the distance between the two lenses. Fifth one. You need not do the fifth one. Sixth. Let's do the sixth. Correct. It is photoelectric effect because in the photoelectric effect, light is treated like a particle. Right. And electromagnetic theory says that light is a wave. Okay. So that's why for question 6, option 2 is correct. All right. Let us go to the next few questions. These ones. You can solve one by one. First you answer seventh. We'll discuss it and then we'll move one by one like that. Two, three. Nobody is saying four. Okay. So light from two coherent sources of same amplitude illuminates the screen. Intensity of the central maximum is I naught. If the sources were incoherent, the intensity at the same point will be what? Now you need to understand that this I naught is not an individual intensity. This I naught is the maximum intensity. If I is the intensity of one of the lights, then four times I is the I naught. Because four times I is the intensity of the central maxima. Okay. You remember that formula 4I cos square phi by 2. This is the formula for the intensity at any point. Okay. Where phi is the phase difference between two light waves having intensity I. Okay. Now if they are incoherent, they will not superimpose like the way it is in Young's double set experiment. Simply, what will happen is that their intensity will just get added up, you know, algebraically like this. So you'll get on an average two I intensity. So if four I is I naught, so two I is I naught by two. That's our option three. Okay. Now solve question eight onwards. Eight four. Yes. In a Young's double set experiment sodium vapor wavelength. Okay. The half angular width of the central maximum is asked. Okay. So sine of theta is lambda by T. This is angular position. Okay. So from here, you'll get the value of theta time inverse point zero zero one. Yes. Okay. Ninth one. Solve nine. Fran Hauffer diffraction pattern is same as Young's sing. I'm sorry. Singles it experiment. So don't get confused. Ninth is four. That's correct. All of you getting four for the ninth one. This two and minus one. This is the position for the maximum. Isn't it? Right. So from here, you will get singles it when white light is used for what wavelength of light, the third secondary maximum in the diffraction coincides with the second secondary maximum. So this is two and plus one. So third secondary maximum will be two into three plus one. Lambda one D by a should be equal to second secondary maximum two into two plus one lambda two D by a. So from here, you'll get the value of lambda two if lambda one is given. Okay. So remember there, I mean, for diffraction, there will be one question on just direct formula of the diffraction. So don't ignore the single slit experiment. Okay. Because there are 60 questions, so they can ask you from literally each and every important topic in physics. They can give you a question. So 60 questions are, you know, good number of questions. Solve these two. Question number 10 is on the resolution, angle of resolution. You remember the formula for the resolution? Theta is 1.22 lambda divided by the diameter of the telescope. Okay. Theta is what? Theta is the angle two objects are making. And in this case, how will you find the theta? Telescope is your eye only in this case. How will you find theta? Suppose these are the two headlights. Okay. Separation between them is suppose X. Okay. Now here is the person's eye. This will be angle theta. Okay. Distance from the Jeep is unknown. So let's say this is X and this thing is given distance between the two headlights. This thing is given. This is L which is equal to 1.2 meters. Okay. So theta is what? How will you write theta? Theta is 1.2 divided by X. R can divide by the distance. So roughly we have approximated the radius itself as X because X will be very large. All right. So this is 1.22 into wavelength which is 5896 Armstrong. This divided by diameter of the person's eye is 2 into 10 square minus 3. Okay. So from here you will get the value of X. Okay. It will come out to be around 3.3 kilometers. Option 4 is correct. Please solve the next question. 11th is, yes, option 1. When the angle of incidence is 60 degrees on the surface of glass lab it is found that reflected rays completely polarized. The velocity of light in the glass we have to find out. We know that velocity of the light in the glass will be velocity of light in air divided by refractive index. Right. Now what is the refractive index? Right. So let's try to find the refractive index. This is the angle of incidence 60 degrees. Okay. And this goes inside the glass from air. Let's say it goes like this. And this is angle of reflection. This is also 60 degrees. Okay. And this is 90 degree. So that is 90 degrees. This automatically becomes 30 degrees. Okay. So now you can use the Snell's law. Reflective index in air multiplied by sine of angle in the air could be equal to mu into sine of 30 degrees. Okay. So mu is equal to root of 3. So if mu is root 3, the velocity will be 3 into 10 to the power 8 divided by root 3. Which is root 3 into 10 to the power 8. Okay. Fine. Let us move to the next question now. Question number 12 seems to be from chemistry. Let's leave it. 13th and 14th. 13th. What is the answer? Okay. The force is equal to 10 mg weight. That is m is for milli. So the force between the two charges is 10 into 10 to the power minus 3 into 10 is 10 to the power minus 1 Newton. This force is equal to the Coulomb force. That is KQ square divided by D square. Okay. So solve this equation. K is 9 into 10 to the power 9. Okay. D is 0.6. You will get the value of Q from here. Okay. What about 14th? Okay. Let's solve 14th one now. We know that potential is 3x square plus 5. Okay. So electric field along x axis is minus of dv by dx. And suppose it was a function of y also. Electric field along y axis will be minus of dv by dy as well. Okay. But then it is not a function of y. So E y will be 0. And similarly E z will be 0. Electric field will be only along the x direction. So this will be given as minus of 6x. Okay. So what is the value of x? X is equal to minus 2. So electric field along x axis is minus 6 into minus 2. Option 4 is correct. Why you guys are saying 3? Understood. Let's move to the next question. Any doubts? Are there any doubts? Solve these two questions. 15th is 2. No. Should I solve? The charge on each of the drop is suppose is q. Okay. So in 8 drops, 8 q charge will be there. Alright. And the radius will also be changing. Why we are 11? Some parents need to add it. Why we are 11? Just take the good messages. Official phone. No. Okay. I will solve it now. Potential of a large drop when 8 drops are combined is 20 volts. So basically k into 8 q divided by r is 20. Okay. We need to find out what is k q divided by small r. Small r is the radius of the smaller drop. Okay. Now 8 small drops are making one bigger drop. So I can equate the total volumes like this. 8 into volume of each small drop is equal to volume of the bigger drop. Okay. So capital R is 2 times the small r. Fine. So basically we need to find out k q divided by small r is capital R by 2. Okay. So this will be k 2 q divided by r which is one fourth of this. The 20 by 4 is 5. Now solve the second question. Next question. Isn't r is equal to how? See 4 by 3 pi is gone. r cube is r with cube root of 8. Cube root of 8 is 2. It's not square root of 2. Square root of 8. Okay. Cube root of 8. Anybody got 16th? 8 joules. No. That's all. Okay. So we have two identical capacitors. 5 micro farad. This is 5 micro farad. And oh they are identical capacitors. 5 micro farad. 5 micro farad. Okay. This one is charged up to 2 kilo volts. And this one is charged up to 1 kilo volt. Okay. Negative ends are connected together and then positive ends are also connected. Fine. So now we will be using charge conservation and the fact that these two capacitors are connected parallel. Okay. Now if these two capacitors are connected parallel you know then let's say charges are q 1 and q 2. Okay. So if they are connected parallel the potential will be same q 1 by the first capacitance 5 micro farad. This should be equal to q 2 divided by the second capacitance that is again 5 micro farad. So from here you will get q 1 is equal to q 2. Okay. Right. And according to charge conservation q 1 plus q 2 which is the net charge now should be equal to the initial net charge which is equal to 5 micro farad q is equal to c v. Right. So that is what I am using. This plus 5 micro farad 1 into 10 is power 3. Alright. So from here you get the value of since q 1 is equal to q 2 this entire thing you can write it as 2 q 1. Right. So you get the value of q 1. Alright. And loss of energy will be equal to initial energy which is half c into v 1 square plus half c into v 2 square this is the initial energy minus final energy. Final energy you can write it like this q square by 2 c 1 plus q 2 square divided by 2 c 2. Okay. So like this you get the answer. And one direct formula is also there for this kind of scenario if you could remember this formula you can directly use it. But you have to be very clear about the fact that this is what the formula you are using as in this is what the scenario is when you are using this formula. This formula you can use as loss in the energy. Okay. So v 1 and v 2 are the initial potentials of the capacitors. Understood. Any doubts? Yeah. Okay. Final answer 16 phase 1.25 joules option 3. So you can see that the power matrix or CET is although it is easier than J mains but definitely not as easy as your board exam. Okay. So don't take it very lightly. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Right. 17th answer is 2. So you can see that a parallel plate capacitor with air as dielectric has capacity a slab same thickness as separation is introduced to fill one-fourth of the capacitor. Okay. So it is filled to one-fourth of the capacitor and it has dielectric constant. We need to find equivalent capacitance. Okay. these two capacitors are connected in parallel. We can break the entire capacitance into two. So, let us say this is C1 and this is C2. So, C1 is what? C1 is K times area of cross section of the upper plate will be now one-fourth. So, K a by four separation between the plate is still same whatever was earlier separation let us say D. So, C1 is basically earlier capacitance by Kc this is epsilon naught sorry Kc by four. All of you understood? Now C2 will be equal to epsilon naught 3a by four which is the remaining area of the plate divided by D. So, C2 can be seen as if it is three-fourth of the original capacitance total capacitance will be C1 plus C2. So, that is K plus 3c by four that is an option two is correct fine. So, next one okay 18th how you are getting one all of you getting one how come answer in the book is saying four 10 is power minus three you get right or 10 is so minus two you will get. Just check once again you are all of you getting current is five this is equal to Neavd n is five into 10 is power 26 charge of electron 1.6 10 is so minus 19 and e is four into 10 is power minus six into drift velocity. So, this is 19 and minus six from the five this is 10. So, you will get five is equal to five into 1.6 into four into 10 into Vd five is gone. So, drift velocity is 0.1 divided by four into 1.6 which is 0.1 divided by 4.6. Yeah, it is option one. I don't know why in the book it is saying option four. So, option one is correct okay let us move to next one these two none of you got the answer okay I will solve it two bulb rated 25 watt 220 volt and 100 watt 220 volt you are connected to 440 volt supply then what will happen see the thing is that from the rating you can get the resistance easily all right. So, how will you get the resistance the rating 25 watt is equal to V square by R1 this is resistance R1 and you have 100 is equal to 220 square divided by R2. So, from here you will get the value of R1 and R2 all right. So, R1 will come out to be equal to 1936 ohms and R2 will come out to be 484 ohms all right permissible current through the first bulb you can find out from the power rating as in 25 volt 25 watt will be equal to 220 into I okay. So, from here you get the permissible current I1 to be equal to 0.1136 and you get permissible current through the second bulb by quitting 100 is equal to 220 into I2. So, this will come out to be 0.4545 okay if you connect these two resistance as in these two in series the total resistance will be some of these two which will be 2420 ohms okay. So, the current will be equal to total voltage that is 440 now divided by the total net resistance 2420 okay this will be equal to 0.1818 amperes okay. So, which bulb will fuse this one will fuse right because only this much is permissible. Permissible current you will get from the rating of the bulb itself. So, you can get two things from the rating of the bulb permissible current and the resistance of the bulb 20th these are from current electricity chapter and you know there are just few types of questions that exist from this particular chapter. So, you should make sure that you get full marks in this chapter current passing through the ideal emitter in this circuit is what? The emitter has no resistance okay. So, as if 4 ohm is shunted okay. So, 4 ohm this 4 ohm will not make any difference as if parallel there is 0 ohm connected which is emitter. So, current will go like this will pass through emitter and none of the current will go to the 4 ohm and it will travel like that okay. These two ohms they are connected parallel. So, this is equivalent to 1 and this one is 2. So, 2 plus 1 is 3 and 1 ohm is again the this thing 1 ohm is internal resistance. Total resistance is 2 plus 1 plus 1 which is 4 okay. So, the current is 4 divided by 4 1 ampere how you got 0.5 you have counted 4 ohm as well. This one will not be counted right there is no current through this this is emitter this is not voltmeter emitter is 0 resistance pass okay. 4 ohm is shunted all this 21 is 2 yes also for 21 is option 2. The first of all whenever you see such kind of structure which is which shown bridge you need to check whether it is balanced. So, p is 10 r is 15 q is 20 and s is 30 okay. Is it balanced? You can see 10 by 20 10 by 20 is equal to 15 by 30. So, it is balanced okay. Since it is balanced this entire thing can be treated as if it is like this. Gallonometer will not have any effect because there is no current in the gallonometer. So, this is 6 volt this is 10 this is 15 20 and 30. So, this is 25 connected parallel to 50. So, total resistance is 25 into 50 divided by 50 plus 25 which is 75 50 by 3 okay. So, current is V divided by r that is 18 by 50 okay. That is why option 2 is correct. All right let us go to the next question now. So, all this one 20 second yes 20 second option 1 is correct. Magnetic field is mu naught i by 2 r right. Magnetic field is mu naught i divided by 2 r and for the number of turns n I can write it as mu naught n i divided by 2 r. It may not be safe I don't know who has kept it. The number of turns is 3 to have 3 turns. What will happen to the radius? It will have a new radius right it will have a new radius let us say r n but the circumference will be same. So, 3 into 2 pi new radius will be equal to 2 pi the old radius. Okay. So, new radius will be the old radius divided by 3. So, here we should write r by 3. So, magnetic field you can see is becoming 9 times the earlier magnetic field that is our option 1 okay. We will move to the next question now. All this 23rd tangent galvanometer is the same device which you have learned as galvanometer. It's full name is tangent galvanometer just like Shreyas full name is Shreyas Bhaktaram. Okay. So, radius is m v by q b fine. So, momentum can be written as in terms of kinetic energy as under root of 2 m into k why I am writing in terms of kinetic energy because kinetic energy is same but the masses will be different. So, momentum of the proton is equal to under root of 2 times mass of proton into kinetic energy and momentum of the deuteron is under root 2 into mass of deuteron into kinetic energy. We know that mass of deuteron is 2 times the mass of proton. Yes or no? Proton has one proton and deuteron has two protons and electrons mass is ignored. Okay. So, now you can compare and find out. See, I will send a write up on questions like 24 how you deal with tangent galvanometer these kind of questions. Okay. So, let's not spend a lot of time in it. It will take 15-20 minutes just to talk about tangent galvanometer. Rather, I will send you a write up on this. Let's go to the next question now. This one 25th is a charge particle is moving in a magnetic field of strength b perpendicular to direction of the field. If q and m denote the charge and mass of the particle then the frequency of rotation of the particle is what? Yeah, that's option 2. Correct. Time period is 2 by m by q b. So, frequency is inverse of that. Correct. This one. Anyone got the answer? Should I wait or solve? Okay. 26th is option 3. It's correct. There will be an attraction between these two and there will be attraction between these two as well. So, total force will be a difference between these two forces. Okay. So, f 1 minus f 2 you have to find out that is equal to mu naught i 1 i 2 divided by in the denominator it was 2 pi d 1 minus mu naught into i 3 i 2 divided by 2 pi d 2. This is i 2 this is i 1 and this is i 3 this is d 2 and this is d 1. Okay. So, when you simplify this you will get force per unit length. Okay. This multiplied by the length of the conductor which is 1 you will get the total force. Remember this is mass see this is force per unit length that you have to multiply with length in this case length was 1. So, the force per length is equal to the force itself but length could be something else also that you must multiply. All right. Let's go to the next question now. These two. 27th none of you it's an alternating current. Okay. Now, I will solve this electric bulb has rated power of 50 watt at 100 volt. If it is used on an AC source of 200 volt 50 hertz a choke has to be used in series with it. This choke should have an inductance of hot. Okay. No, 27 is not 4. So, the situation is like this. You have this is your bulb and the choke is nothing but an inductor. Isn't it? The bulb has a resistance and inductance has inductive sorry yeah in inductive reactance. Okay. So, now electric bulb has this rating 100 volt 50 watt. So, the potential across the resistance should be 100 volts. Okay. This is let us say potential across inductor. Okay. And this is the supply voltage. Let's say V. Okay. So, what is the relationship between V 100 and VL? Anyone? How you relate V 100 volts and VL? V is by the way 200. What is the relationship in 200, 100 and VL? This voltage is 50 degree out of phase of this one. Okay. So, that's why you can't just simply add 200 will be equal to 100 square plus VL square. Okay. So, from here you will get VL to be equal to 100 root 3 volts. Okay. Now, this 100 root 3 should be equal to current into XL. Okay. And XL is what? XL is omega times L. This should be equal to 100 root 3. So, L is equal to 100 root 3 divided by omega which is 2 pi into f that into current. Current you can find out from the rating of the bulk. Current is 50 watt divided by 100 volts because power should be equal to V to I. Okay. So, this is how much? 0.5. So, current is 0.5. F is 50 hertz. Alright. From here you will get the value of inductance L. It's a good question. Understood? Should I move to the next one? This one? 28th. 28th one. Yes, that is correct. So, inductance and the capacitance and the resistance are connected in series with this. The phase angle of this circuit is what? Tan of phi is XL minus XC pi R. Okay. So, from here you can find out. XL is omega into L and XC is 1 by omega C. And omega is 2 pi into frequency. You can see that you get tan phi is equal to 1. So, phi is equal to 45 degrees. You can also write down cos of phi is equal to R by impedance where impedance is XC minus XL whole square plus R square. Then you will get cos of phi is equal to R2 and then phi is equal to 45 degrees. Okay. Alright. So, all these questions. 28th one. Sundarai has already answered. That's, no, sorry, 28th was previous question. 29th is, yes, 29th is 4. I will solve it quickly. Those who got the answer please attempt the next question. Step down transformer reduces the voltage of the transmission from primary voltages 2200 and secondary voltage is 220. The power delivered by it, power delivered as in power in the secondary circuit is 880 volt. The efficiency is 88%. So, power delivered is this. The power in the primary circuit is 1 divided by 0.88 times 880, which is 1000. Okay. So, this 1000 should be equal to voltage in primary circuit into primary current. Okay. So, from here you get 0.465 as the answer. Okay. 30th. Okay. 30th also you have solved. 30th, the answer is 4. So, let's see how we can do 30th. Current in a coil changes from 4 ampere to 0 in 0.1 second. EMF induces this. Self inductance of coil is what? So, EMF is equal to L di by dt. We know this. Right. So, approximately we can write it as L into delta i by delta t. Okay. So, L is what? L is EMF into delta t divided by delta i. Okay. So, EMF is 100. So, this is 100. So, delta t is 0.1 divided by delta i. Chaining current is 4. So, 25 into 0.1, 2.5. That's our option 4. Oh, 31 also you have answered. Very fast. Okay. First is 1. Okay. All components of electromagnetic spectrum in vacuum have the same velocity. Correct. They all are EM wave. They move with the same velocity that is speed of light. Okay. So, now let us take a small break continuously for 2 hours. We have been solving problems. Okay. So, let us take a break for 15 minutes. We will meet after 15 minutes. Okay. Those who don't want to take a break can attempt this bonus question. So, right now it is 12.30. We will meet at 12.45. Okay. And the class will run till 1.30. Okay. So, just take a break, eat something and come back. All right. All right guys. So, we can start now. Oh, looks like 30 second question. You have already attempted question number 32. It says option 4. Are you guys able to hear me? Am I audible? Okay. Let's quickly solve this one. Which of the following graphs represent the variation of maximum kind energy of emitted electron with the frequency in the photo electric effect correctly? Do we have h mu that is energy of photon minus the work function this to be equal to maximum kind energy? Right. So, the maximum kind energy, so k is equal to h mu minus 5. Okay. So, when mu is 0, k, I mean, you can treat it like a mathematical equation, y is equal to mx plus c, where when x is 0, y is minus c. So, basically k should be minus 5 when mu is 0. Okay. Although it physically doesn't make any sense, but when you look at like just an equation, it is like that and the slope should be positive. Intercept on the yx should be negative and slope should be positive. So, only this one makes sense. Okay. Which is option 2. Option 2 is the fourth graph. Okay. So, straight forward. Go to the next. Solve it. Okay. How discuss another? Okay. 33rd is, say I have got one answer. Others, see these kind of question, you must not get wrong. Okay. Energy of the first frequency, you need to find in terms of electron volt. So, if energy of the frequency is more than the threshold energy, then photoelectrons will be emitted, otherwise not. Okay. So, in terms of electron volt, it will 6.6 into 10 to the power minus 34 hc, sorry, mu is directly given, lambda is not there, h into mu, 1.8 into 10 to the power of 14 divided by, see you can see that if this frequency emits photoelectron, this will definitely emit because 2.2 is more than 1.8. So, I am just checking for 1.8. Okay. So, if I divide this with charge of electron, I will get the energy in terms of electron volts. Roughly, this is around 4. So, this is 7.2 and this one is 10 to the power minus 1. So, this is 0.72 electron volt. Okay. Okay. So, 0.72 electron volt is there. So, A cannot emit the photoelectrons. Okay. Now, the problem is that there is this option, neither A nor B. So, I need to check for 2.2 also. Okay. So, had this been 2.2, then you would have 4 into 2.2 you would have got into 10 to the power minus 1. So, this would have been around 0.88 you might have got. So, B will, this frequency will create photoelectron. So, B alone will create the photoelectron. Understood all of you? Wait, wait, wait. This is not the case. This is the threshold frequencies that are given. So, 0.72 electron volt is the work function of metal A and 0.88 electron volt is the work function of metal B. Okay. These are the threshold frequency as in this much frequency is required by 2 metals to create photoelectron. So, this is the phi A and this is phi B and you have this much energy of photoelectrons impacting the metal surface. So, this is more than 0.72. So, 0.825 is more than the surface A's threshold this thing. So, that is why only A will create the photoelectron. Sorry about that. Option 3 is the right answer. Okay. What about the next one? R is the Rigbert constant. One of you 34 is option 2. Ionization energy means that the electron has jumped from n equal to 1 shell to n equal to infinity. That is what the ionization is. So, 1 by lambda is R into z square 1 by n1 square minus 1 by n2 square. This is the formula. So, 1 by lambda is Rigbert constant into 3 square 1 by 1 square minus 1 by infinity. So, 1 by lambda will come out to be 9R. So, lambda is 1 by lambda is this. So, hc by lambda is the energy required. So, this is 9HCR. This much energy is required. Option 2. 35th. The Rigbert answer is 35th. That does not seem to be correct. Others? Okay. I will solve this now. Electron at n equal to n level can emit 3 spectral lines. So, if the electron is at n equal to n, then it should emit nc2. So, n into n minus 1 by 2, this should be equal to 3. Okay. So, n equal to 3. Is it? Yeah. So, n equal to 3. So, electron is at n equal to 3 now that we know when they are at another energy level, they can emit 6 spectral lines. So, n into n minus 1 by 2, when you curate it to 6, you will get n equal to 4. This is n1 and this is n2. The orbital speed of electron in 2 orbits are in what ratio? So, we know that orbital speed is proportional to 1 by n. Orbital speed decreases as you move away. So, v1 by v2 is equal to n2 by n1. Option 2 is correct. Is it clear to all of you any doubts? So, you can see that this question is J mains level. So, it is not that Cp level, all questions are straightforward. You can just run them over. So, these ones, a lot of calculation is there, right? Question number 36. You can also see that there is, you know, difference, I mean, there is a good amount of difference between the two options. So, you can roughly also, estimate and get the correct answer. You do not need to be very accurate with the answer. Roughly also, you are getting it, then you will be able to arrive at the correct option. Nobody got it? These type of questions which are very calculation intensive, you can probably mark it and do it towards the end of the paper. But then make sure you are attempting these questions because these type of questions, you know exactly how to go about. Rather than breaking your head on questions which you are not very sure about, so towards the end, you can attempt these ones. Yes, option one is correct. I think you have not used calculator, right? So, lambda is h by p where p is under root 2m into kinetic energy and kinetic energy is q into v. Fine, you just substitute it, you will get option one to be correct. q is the charge of electron and m is mass, sorry, yeah, and m is mass of proton. 37th, what is the answer? Isotope is what? Isotope has same atomic mass or atomic number. It should have same atomic number, right? Now, if these disintegration happens, they will change the atomic number and atomic mass, all right? So, you can evaluate. For example, option one, option one says alpha particle is also emitted and beta particle also emitted. So, what alpha particle will do to the atomic number? It will decrease by 2, okay? And beta particles can increase the atomic number or decrease the atomic number. So, if it is beta minus disintegration, then you can see that it can increase the atomic number. So, 2 beta particles will increase by 2 the atomic number and 1 alpha particle will decrease by 2. So, net-net atomic number remains the same. So, option one is the correct option, okay? No other option balances the atomic number. 38th. Now, you can see that in 38, the options are very close to each other, okay? And hence, you should be very careful with the calculation. You can see that 10,000 nuclei are there and its half-life is 20 days. Number of nuclei at the end of the 10 days is what? So, how many half-life, okay? No. So, here we will be using this formula ln n by n naught is equal to minus of lambda into t, okay? And lambda is equal to 0.693 divided by t half, okay? So, ln of n by n naught is equal to minus of 0.693 divided by t half, that is 20 days and t is 10 days, okay? Now, this is ln n by n naught and if you remember, 0.693 is ln of 2, ln of 2 by 2. So, you can see that this will become ln n by n naught is equal to ln of 2 raised to the power minus half or n naught is equal to root 2 times n, right? Yes. You can equate this with that. So, n is equal to n naught which is 10,000 divided by root 2 which is 1.414. You get option 2 to be correct. It is roughly 7,000. You can multiply the denominator by 7 to check that. It will be 9.8 something. Clear? All of you clear about these questions? Any doubts? Let us go to the next. Question number 40, all options are correct. This is theoretical stuff. So, just remember it, okay? If you know the full form of laser, then also you can answer it. 41, 41, what is the answer? The radius is proportional to a ratio power 1 by 3. Volume is a, okay? So, while, you know, I think we have browsed more than 45 to 46 questions, you might have realized that more than 50% of questions are straightforward, okay? And there are few questions that will just eat up your time. So, the trick is just ignore the questions which are eating up your time and get those questions right which can be solved quickly the first, okay? In the next pass, you can solve the questions which will take more time. And I think you have done enough practice to identify quickly which question will take less time and which question will take more time. Just by looking at it, you can find out, okay? For example, you know, these theoretical questions you can see 42, 43, they will not take a lot of time. Okay, 42, what is the answer? Either you know it or don't know it. So, you can mark, if you don't know it, you can mark anything and move on. It's lepton. How can electron be a nucleon? Inside the nucleus, protons and neutrons are there, there are no electrons. I think 3 is correct. Just another name for the electron. 43rd, 3 electrons. 44, there are 2 terms in transistor, input resistance and output resistance, okay? So, it is input voltage delta V by delta I, this will give you the resistance, right? So, delta V is the 1 and change in current is 0.5 into 10 is power minus 6, okay? So, you will get the option number 1 to be correct. Okay. So, all this question, what do you think this table is for which 45th is 3, correct? You can see that just 3, 4 questions, how fast you have solved, right? So, identify these questions quickly. You don't need to go sequentially the way you do the board exam. So, this is the nand grade, option 3. Finally, class 11 syllabus questions are coming in. Mechanics in comet care or CT will be very simple. So, make a point to attempt mechanics a little earlier. So, impulses what? Force into time or impulses simply of dimension of momentum because that is going to change in momentum and momentum dimension is mass into velocity that is mLt minus 1. So, option 2 is correct. What about 47? No one got 47? Okay. Maximum height attained by a projectile when it is thrown at an angle theta with the horizontal is found to be half the horizontal range. Maximum height is what? u square sine square theta by 2g. This is equal to half of the range which is u square sine 2 theta by g. So, when you equate it you will get tan theta equal to 2 or theta is tan inverse 2. So, that is formula application 48. Okay. So, what is the answer to 48? Should I solve or should I wait? Okay. Okay. A shell of mass 20 kg at rest explodes into two fragments of masses are in ratio 2 to 3. A smaller fragment has mass has velocity. This kind of larger fragment is what? It is a direct application of conservation of momentum. Initial momentum is 0. This is equal to 2 to 3. So, 2 by 5 into 20 and 3 by 5 into 20. These are the masses. So, 8 and 12. So, 0 is equal to 8 into 6 plus 12 into v. So, v will come out to be minus 4 meter per second. So, kinetic energy of the larger fragment is half mass is 12 into v square. It is 16. So, this is 96 joules. Fine. Let us go to the next. Solve all these three versions quickly. Then we will go to the next one. Okay. Okay. 49th is 2. That is correct. Capillary effect is because of the surface tension. All right. Next one. 50th. So, accession due to gravity will become g by 2 at what height? Variation of gravity with height. Yes or no? Can I use the direct formula? Can I use the direct formula that was there? You remember the direct formula? G0 1 minus 2h by r. Can I use this formula? I cannot. This formula is an approximation. Okay. Variation of gravity with depth is not an approximation, but with height it is an approximation. I cannot use it because the height is much larger than the radius of the earth. Okay. So, how will you do this now? You have to find out the gravitational force g m into mass of earth divided by radius, not radius, distance. We need to find the height, right? So, radius of earth plus height whole square. Okay. Now, the accession due to gravity will be this force divided by mass. So, that will be g m e divided by r e square 1 plus h by r e the whole square in the denominator. Okay. This thing is accession due to gravity. Fine. So, g will become g0 by 2. This is g0 divided by 1 plus h by r e whole square. G0 and g0 gone. We have 1 plus h by r e the whole square is equal to 2. So, I am getting 1 plus h by r e as root 2. So, h is equal to root 2 minus 1 times r e. So, root 2 minus 1 is 0.4 times r e. Okay. Actually, in this book, they have used the direct formula which is actually not correct. Okay. We have solved this without any approximation. So, suppose you have solved it like this and then you are getting 0.4 r e which is not in the option, then you can check with the direct formula because somehow they want you to use this formula even though this is an approximation. If you use this formula, you will get h is equal to r by 4. All right. But of course, r by 4 is comparable to the radius of the earth. So, this formula itself is not valid but then they expect you to use this formula which is incorrect. Anyways, let us take one more question before we end the session. So, I will pick that. Okay. Thermodynamics is there. Solve this one. 53. 53, you are getting 2. 53, yes. Correct. Let us say this temperature is T. Of course, T will be between 100 degree Celsius and 25 degree Celsius. Okay. So, heat will flow from higher temperature to lower temperature like this. So, if I treat it as two different rods, dq by dt over here will be equal to dq by dt over there. Okay. So, dq by dt which is the rate of flow of heat between A and C can be written as thermal conductivity of A to C area of cross section into delta T that is 100 minus T divided by the distance A to C which is midpoint, is it? C is a midpoint. Two identical rods. So, identical rods. So, length are same. So, L. This should be equal to thermal conductivity of C to B area of cross section, then T minus 25 degree Celsius by L. L and L gone, A and A gone. Then thermal conductivity is R in ratio of 2 is to 3. So, if this is 2, then this is 3. So, I can say that 200 minus 2T is equal to 3T minus 75. Okay. So, 5T is equal to 275. Okay. So, T is 55 degree Celsius. Option 2 is correct. Okay. There are I think six or seven more questions that are remaining. I will share this file with you. You can attempt the last six questions that are remaining. Okay. And I think now you have good understanding of what kind of questions you can expect in comet payor's utility. All right. Also, please take the mock test which are shared by Gaurav every day. All right. We, I mean, taking mock test is very, very important. Don't just ignore it. Okay. Thinking that you'll be taking it later, later and later. Okay. Your syllabus will never get over. Don't think that first you should read everything, all the formulas and then you take the mock test. Just take the mock test. Nobody need to know how much marks you scored and all because test is more than knowledge. They will test you on how statistically you attempt a question paper, what you will do if there is a time pressure and all that. So, it's very, very important. Okay. So, we'll end the session now and we'll meet again sometime in the next week. Bye-bye.

Keith Gosland. I'm Ann Charles. It's Tuesday, February 12th. Welcome to All Things LGBTQ. And it's almost Keith's birthday. Almost Keith's birthday, but not quite. I'm old. No, he's the baby of the group, really. That doesn't mean I'm not old. Wouldn't I give him a headline? Can that work out well? The HRC calls on the Senate to reject Trump's attorney general nomination of William Barr and other anti-LGBTQ nominations. By his record, it makes clear that he will double down on the discriminatory agenda of just sessions and the Trump's harmful attacks on the LGBT community and equality. Josie Tota, a transgender woman, will be honored with an Upstutter Award at the organization time to thrive in California. More about that later. Elizabeth Cole, a Navajo transgender woman in Nevada, is fortunate to be alive after being shot in a hate crime. Arizona State Superintendent Kathy Hoffman is calling for repeal of the state's dangerous and backward don't-say-gay law, which bars teachers from affirming or supporting some of our most vulnerable students. Sesame Street turns 50. The Grammys. Is this the year of the queer woman? Patricia Neil Warren, author of Frontrunner Dies at 82. The lesbian writer inspired millions with her story of queer love and the pain of being in the closet. The love story became the first gay novel in modern times to be on the New York Times bestseller list. I remember reading that. It was heartbreaking. Yes. I cried. Oh, I know. He was at the 80s, wasn't it? I can't remember. It was very early on, though. Somebody will be googling it for answers. West Virginia lawmaker compares LGBTQ people to the KKK. Democrats in West Virginia- Is that because of the attire? Captains? Remember that craze? Everybody in the captain? No, I must have missed that. Me too. West Virginia calls for Eric Porterfield's resignation after his anti-LGBT remarks. And he also used the word faggots in committee. Ellen Page calls out Chris Pratt's affiliation with an anti-LGBTQ church. Black lesbians talk canceled at a Catholic school. Judge allows right-wing student group to kick gay leader out. Defying Trump's California National Guard will not discharge their transgender troops. Trump praises Karen Pence for teaching at an anti-LGBTQ school. Gay federal workers are arrested for drug trafficking on a gay-themed cruise. Oops. They were selling Viagra. I'm not going there. You can't make me. Nebraska has established the state's first LGBTQ rights organization. Pro-LGBT victories are not many in that state. And so out Nebraska is now launched. And in relation to the school where Pence is teaching, the other schools in the district are refusing to do intramural sports because they don't feel safe going into the school. Although they're going to let the other, you know, let the deplorable school go into their auditorium. But they're not going to go into there. Because you know affiliation with us all you have to do is touch us and there you are. Good for them. So as of July 1st, there will be a non-binary option on Vermont's driver's license. And we'll talk a little bit about that. And in response to that change, Senator Bray from Addison County is looking at introducing legislation into the Senate. Bill has not been drafted yet. That will then look at all the other state-issued documents. And do we collect gender? And does there need to be a non-binary option? I had hoped to have an update on the Belto Alberto Sanchez Perez who was the LGBTQ migrant worker who had been arrested on the DWR charge, then taken into custody by ICE, looking at deportation. But there's been no information forthcoming, even though the hearing should have happened. I'll give a little update on H3, the bill that's going through relative to Ethnic and Social Standards Committee. And there's a new bill that's been introduced, H185, which we'll talk about a bit that has to do with transgender students and athletics. Another bathroom bill. The Alliance Defending Freedom. We know these people. They've shown their ugly face here in Vermont, and we'll talk a little bit about that. And then a bill that got introduced into the Senate, S45, which looks as though it might be partly in response to this. And we'll talk about the dynamics of that. The feds think that we're wealthy and they're withholding $2 million. We'll definitely talk about that. Patriot Front. Alliance Defending Freedom is here. Let's see what other hate groups we can invite. They put posters over the doors and the logos at the Pride Center of Vermont, Art Right Vermont, and Ohavi's Zed synagogue. And there was a rally, some interesting responses. I'll talk a little bit about that. And the trivia question. Well, first I have a quote that you don't have to guess at, which you were thankful for. This was the comment that was made. These are not mic covers. They're mic condoms. We practice safe sound. That was said in February of 1995 when the flirtations were performing at the Flynn Theater in Burlington. But in acknowledgment of Valentine's Day, 1988, there was a kiss in. Where and why? And then they'll have information to share afterwards. I'd like to start by adding to Linda's headlines that Patricia Nell Warren's The Front Runner was published in 1974. That was really early. Very early. Very sad. My headlines concern New Zealand. First off, Jacinda Adurn, who is the Prime Minister, returns to the big gay out, which occurs in Auckland. Same sex marriage lawsuits to be filed on Valentine's Day by 13 couples in Japan. In conservative Catholic Poland, a gay and atheist politician is seizing the moment. So those are kind of upbeat. Now some bad news. Primary school teacher found stabbed to death in Mexico in a hate crime for being gay. A Russian town shrugs at the murder of an older gay couple. Two stories of erasure from Brazil involving boy erased, which is erased from Brazilian cinemas. And Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, deplorable whom we've spoken about, plans to erase LGBT content from schools. Also feminist content. He's going to try to have some public schools taken over by the military. So he's got plans. The Berlin monument to gay victims of Nazi persecution was vandalized once again. Gay porn star fined a thousand pounds for a late night orgy on the London underground in front of shocked passengers. Priced out of pride. Why the Manchester events ticket hike is just the tip of the money making iceberg. There's a little bit of a critique there. Manchester is in England? Yes, it is. Remember the song? Disney, speaking of corporate takeovers, is planning an official LGBTQ pride event in, it's called Magical Pride in Paris. And as our mentors, as our mentor in Northampton said on their show Gay USA, you know, originally gay people would just declare a gay day and go on their own. But now, Disney is arranging to host, to appropriate it. It has all to do about marketing and income. I'm kidding. And if we have time, I can expatiate on that subject. But first, let me get on my dictionary. I suddenly feel very vulnerable. I have more. Well, it's time for the segment with Linda. Those are my headlines. Okay. I don't know if I can follow that. Josie Toda, 17-year-old Davis native, who has appeared in several films and television shows that's leaving Yolo County in 2012 for Los Angeles. Some of these films and shows include Other People, Spider-Man, Homecoming, Jesse, Champions and more. Toda then wrote an opinion piece in August about her excitement for these new chapters in her life, starting for the first semester of college, continuing her acting career, and coming out as a transgender female. That's the woman who's getting the award. Which award? Up-Starter Award. What about Bert and Ernie? I say we just leave them alone. I say who are they? Sesame Street? Sorry. Professor Charles, a big bird? No, Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street. There's been rumors about them for years. Now I'm going to tell you. Sesame Street aired the same year as the Stonewall Riots. Riot. Oh, I didn't realize that. I know, and they both changed history. Mark Salisman, the out-screen writer, and he was also a writer for Sesame Street, says yes. Bert and Ernie were actually gay. And he always felt that without a huge agenda, when he was writing about Bert and Ernie, to reflect a lot of gay couples, but also his life as a gay person, as a gay male. And he didn't have any way to contextualize them. So the other thing was, more than one person referred to Ernie, Mark's partner and himself, as Bert and Ernie. Okay, so the LBGT artist dominated Saturday Night's 61st Grammy Award with history-making wins with a number of memorable performances. Pop icon Lady Gaga and country singer, songwriter Brandy Carlisle, both broke the records after being the first out winners in their categories. Gaga, who identifies as bisexual, took home three awards on Sunday. Not only issued the first openly LGBTQ artist to win the Grammy in the best pop solo performance category for her song Joanne. Jolene. Jolene? Yes. Is it Jolene? Because I have it here, it's copied from the article. Jolene. Anyway. You've heard that song, right? Oh, Jolene, right. That's Dolly Parton. Yeah. Where do you think you're- Oh, is that Dolly Parton? Yeah. Jolene is Dolly Parton. Oh, I'm so sorry. No, this is Jolene. Lady Gaga. I know. I'm so sorry. I apologize. Where do you think you're going? But she also won awards for best song written for visual media and best pop duo, group performance for Shallow, the duo that she co-wrote and performed in A Star Is Born. She had also- She has also been nominated for the best pop solo performance twice before. Other award winners included queer artist St. Vincent, who won in the best rock song category and best recording package category for her track and album. Both titled Mass Seduction. The gay song writer is Benj Pasek and Shane McAunt Lee, I think that's how it's pronounced, who were honored for their collaboration on the greatest showman soundtrack. And Casey Mulgraves, Golden Hour, respectfully. I'm so sorry about that Jolene thing, but if I may just try to recover. Dolly Parton did sing Jolene with- Yeah. Right? Yes. Well, it was a tribute to Dolly. Exactly. And there were other female artists and they all sang together. So I do apologize for jumping in there. That's okay. I hope no one sends emails. Don't bother, okay? Because- There will be penance Monday. Don't you have a picture of Brandy Carlisle? I have a picture of Brandy. Yes, I do. So we'll show that. She also, from what I was reading, I didn't read, but she's married to a woman named Catherine, and I can't remember her last name. But they have like three children also. So- I think she's scheduled to perform in Vermont this summer. I would love to hear her. Oh. We should mark our calendar. It may be part of the Ben & Jerry's concert series at the Shelburne. Yeah, we'll have to look that up, because I also heard her interviewed on a VPR and I was pretty entertaining. Chris Pat Pratt appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote his role in the new Lego movie. Page called out Pratt on Twitter for his affiliation with an anti-LGBTQ church, Hillsong. Hillsong's pastor, Brian Houston, claims that he loves all LGBTQ people while reiterating that he would not affirm the lifestyle. He also says that he believes God's word is clear on this issue. That marriage is between one man and one woman. So let's go to you now. David and Jonathan doesn't come to mind. What are you doing behind that rock? Hi. So Alliance Defending Freedom, who we've mentioned on several occasions, a little back's information. Vermont has a program called a dual enrollment, whereby a senior in high school can do their first year of college while still attending high school. And it's, excuse me, the tuition is paid for by the state of Vermont. Well, the Alliance Defending Freedom brought suit against the state of Vermont saying this was discriminatory because faith-based or parochial schools students could not participate in this process. In 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that no faith-based and parochial schools students could not participate because the state could not pay a faith-based or parochial school tuition separation of church and state. So this suit is ongoing. The Alliance Defending Freedom seems to have discovered we're here, oh shucks, but also of interest. There was a bill that's been introduced into the Senate and Debbie Ingram, Interfaith Coalition, Interfaith Action is one of the lead sponsors. And what this bill would do is say, you know, this program should indeed be open to everybody. We're put in a provision in place that a student who attends a parochial faith-based school could be eligible for the dual enrollment program, but they have to pay their own tuition. You know, that the state cannot pay for it, so the student or their parents has to pay for it. So we'll be watching this as it goes through the process and really look at the conversation that happens surrounding it. And that happens in a lot of places. I don't want my taxes to go towards paying for Catholic school educations. Exactly. Because we've seen the curriculum. Yes. Someone here can personally attest to that. That's right. The other, you know, let's invite hate to our state as people are well aware, Patriot Front. Over the weekend, they put their posters over the logo of the Price Center of Vermont, Outright Vermont, and Ohavi Zed Synagogue in Burlington. Well, there was a community response and there was a rally that occurred last Friday. Now of interest, prior to the rally happening, the rabbi for Ohavi Zed found more signs on their back door. It was hearts saying, we are your neighbors, we have your back. So it was entirely different, but that was shared. What was also of interest is that both the Burlington Police Department and the Vermont State Police, and particularly Farron and partial policing, showed up in fairly large numbers. They were 8 to 10 in each contingent. And when they were approached, their comment was, we're here in support of you. We are here to stand with you. And TJ Donovan also showed up. He was not invited to speak, nor as the police were not invited to speak, but they were clearly visible and talking with people. And TJ reaffirmed to the people who were in the crowd about the new reporting policies for his department relative to bias and hate crimes, which we had actually been talking about before we started taping with the incident that had occurred with Kaya Morris of late, where the person who has been harassing her and her family was arrested for possessing magazines for semi-automatic assault weapons that are no longer in compliance with the Vermont statutes. What was interesting is that this had been reported to the Bennington Police in October, after the law had taken effect, and the Bennington Police did nothing. Well, when TJ redid the protocols so that all bias and hate-motivated crime reports, regardless if you knew the perpetrator, if you were charging, would go to his office, late January, he became aware of this and immediately started an investigation and the person has been charged. So TJ seems to be keeping to his word. Well, what he had said was, please let me know about it so we can look at all of what surrounds this because usually it's not just an isolated incident. He said, let's look at if we cannot charge a crime per se for bias or hate motivation. Let's look at are there other civil cases that could go forward? And this is one of those where they clearly had information. It would have been used for another, yeah. So there is an internal investigation that will be going on done by and independent law enforcement to find out exactly what is happening. And then the Department of Justice bear withholding over $2 million from Vermont because they think our fair and impartial policing policies make us look like we're a sanctuary state and they kind of sort of don't like that. Can they do that? They can withhold anything they want, but the state of Vermont may be suing them saying, wait a minute, federal statutes are very clear about what immigration and ICE are allowed to do and what they're not allowed to do, and they're not allowed to require a local or state law enforcement to actively participate with them. And I think where it's coming into question is when Major John has testified before the legislature relative to fair and impartial policing, her comment was that what they're embedding in the policy is we don't need to know your immigration status, so we're not going to ask. So any reports that get submitted are not including immigration specific identification because Vermont doesn't need that. And I think that's part of what the feds are objecting to. They want this sort of, you know, complicency that we're not willing to give them. So because, you know, there is... So this is kind of blackmail money, right? Well, this is kind of, you know... Like either you do it, we want to work... Right. You're going to play by our rules and you're going to share all of your information with us. Well, legally and constitutionally they're not allowed to do that. And Vermont's calling them on it. Good. So it's going to be really interesting to follow. So now you said you had nice things about New Zealand. Yes. The big gay out has occurred in Auckland. Is that like Friday? Well, sort of. It's like a big fair because, you know, in New Zealand they have the gay Mardi crowd. Just another event. But this is... And they have the penguins or whatever they have. Ducks. Some penguins. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. But the 20th anniversary of the big gay out has occurred and the Prime Minister Jacinda Adurn appeared and she's been there before. Right now I have a picture before you of Jacinda Adurn posing with her fans. You can see a flamboyant fan there. 10,000 people attended. It's really an ending HIV event at Auckland's Coil Park. It's been going on for many years. She's been there before but this is her first time as the Prime Minister. I've lost count of the amount of times I've felt proud to stand on this stage, she said, in a speech to a cheering audience. It's one of the many events that shows the incredible diversity of New Zealand and that is something to be celebrated. Another occurrence, Labour List MP Tamati Kofi and his partner Tim Smith, they are picture before you. They were there. They used the occasion to announce that they were going to have a baby in July. So there they are celebrating and holding hands I believe. So good news from New Zealand. 13 couples in Japan will be filing damage suits against the state at four district courts across the country on February 14th. Arguing that denying same-sex couples the right to marry is a violation of their constitutional right to be treated equally under the law. These are the first lawsuits of their kind in Japan. I'd like to show you now a picture of Chinzuka E 58 and Yoko Ogawa 55 who've been living together in Tokyo's Nakano Ward for over 20 years. They were the first couple to register under the Nakano Ward partnership oath certification program that started last year. But the certification does not guarantee the same rights as marriage and only 11 municipal governments nationwide issue similar certificates. E and Ogawa believe they should have equal rights wherever they choose to live and that prompted them to become plaintiffs in a damages suit against the state. They've experienced more than their share of pain when at Ogawa mother's Ogawa's mother's funeral some 20 years ago her relatives look quizzically at her partner who was helping out with everything. They couldn't come out and say we're family. Several years ago when Ogawa fell ill she told the hospital that E was a close friend with whom she lived. At the end of the year sometime back E received a phone call from her sister saying that their father was being grilled and chided for the fact that his daughter was homosexual. E rushed to their home and tried to explain herself to them. The women both women believe that an open society that approves of same-sex marriage is likely a society that's kinder to everyone and that's the question they would like to pose to society and the government through the lawsuit. Now I have good news from Poland. Yeah that's right Robert Bydron celebrated late last year that his party was polling at almost 10 percent. With no party name or agenda in almost two years until the presidential elections he had nevertheless embarked on an improvised road trip across Poland to rally crowds for his cause. Speaking in shopping centers and community halls the 42-year-old was being welcomed welcomed by mostly young and urban audience members who applauded his demands to separate church and state phase out coal and improve rights for women and LGBT people. Now we have a picture of him on Sunday the openly gay former LGBT rights activist finally announced the name of his new party Spring. As he rallied his supporters around their shared goal of gaining a substantial number of seats during European elections in May, parliamentary elections later this year and perhaps even more support during the presidential elections in 2020. There's no room for hate we've reached the limit he said in Warsaw on Sunday speaking to thousands of supporters. Is that where the mayor was dead? That was Gdansk and he was in Poland and he was an ally of this mayor and you know they're kind of almost dismissing this brutal assassination because the assailant was mentally ill. But why did you pick him? Well yeah his speech on Sunday sounded like the early days of French president Emmanuel Macron when he started as an underdog outside the traditional party system before quickly gaining momentum as voters abandoned the country's two mainstream parties in droves but Poland isn't France. As Bidron acknowledged in an interview with the Washington Post he said that he had taken inspiration from Macron and leftist Senator Bernie Sanders but he maintained that Poland is distinct. The current political leadership was living in medieval times. He joined parliament in 2011 before serving as the mayor of the northern Polish city Slipsk where he quickly gained popularity. Many Poles agree that they like Bidron as a politician according to recent popularity rankings but the question is whether a sufficient number of voters in a country with some of Europe's most restrictive abortion laws, a strong Catholic church and a strong dependency on coal will share his progressive vision of the country. So good luck to him. Now should I move to a sad story from Mexico? Okay our IP Hugo Mendez and I have a picture of him to show you. He was a gay primary school teacher found stabbed to death in Mexico. A teacher who worked in Puebla. He was found murdered in his home neighbors called the authorities after they heard a struggle. When paramedics arrived to help him he was already dead. Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime. Mendez was killed because of his sexuality according to activists. Individuals close to him described him as a very committed and sensitive person who would receive numerous threats because of his sexuality. As well as teaching kids, Mendez was a dance coach and costumer for a youth group. He also dedicated himself to humanitarian efforts and charity causes for children in Puebla. They did not kill him for being a teacher or for selling costumes or for having a dance group. They killed him because of his sexual orientation. He was one of us an activist said. Around six members of the LGBTQI community are murdered each month in Mexico. At least 202 murders of LGBTI people occurred between 2014 and 2016. Trans women face the majority of the violence. A total of 108 trans women, 93 gay men and one lesbian was killed. Alejandro Brito executive director of the human rights group there said they're often killed by gangs. The activist has also noted the pattern of violence was different depending on the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. Gay men are often targeted by robbers with gangs even specializing in this type of crime. These criminals often seduce the person either in person or via an app and then once the victim's home they kill him. It's not enough for the criminal to rob them. Brito said he kills them and so with cruelty with extreme brutality and does so with cruelty and extreme brutality as if they were he were punishing the victim for his sexual orientation. Very sad and just today as I was leaving I saw that another LGBTQ activist was murdered in Mexico and I'll report on that next time. Is this in the countryside or Mexico City? That was a cuaca and this was in Puebla small town. I think it's pervasive. It's everywhere, sure. Should I go on with another story? No. It's another downer. So we can wait but I'll get to it. Black lesbian talk was canceled at a Catholic school. Vernetta Alston, a Durham City Council member was to speak at the Immaculata Catholic School for Black History Month. The entire event was canceled because some groups planned to protest although it was never clear or named any of these quote protest groups so I don't really know if there was any protest groups. There were complaints anyway. There were complaints but they said they were going to cancel it because there were going to be these protests and but you know nobody could really say what these protests would be so and interestingly she's also an alumni of this particular school and she was quoted as saying she feels that the school is depriving students the chance to honor Black History Month and in doing so is condemning the lives and rights of the LGBT community. They are sending a sad regressive and life-altering message to our children and I have a picture of her which you can see. So they canceled all of Black History Month events because of this one woman who was invited. I'm assuming they didn't know she was gay when they invited her but and she was an alumni but I don't know. An alumna. Yeah. She went to school there. She did. A federal judge ruled that the University of Iowa could not deregister a student group for denying gay student for leadership. This is really interesting because this is a very conservative business group called Business Group Leaders in Christ and one of their members who was gay wanted to be part of the leadership and they told him no because he was gay he couldn't and so the school tried to reprimand this group saying you know you can't discriminate against a person in your group because he's gay and but the court said that the University could not punish for violating human rights for discriminating against a student based on sexual orientation. The conservative group supports a bill under consideration in Iowa to shield conservative groups and provide space for individual freedom. The bill has advanced through the senate committee so I'll be more on that. So I thought that was pretty interesting. Okay two black men are dead but Ed Buck is still at home. His home has had protesters. It's been kneeling a month since 55 year old Timothy Dean died there. A month since 100 protesters and reporters came to his house and this is the second death that's occurred there and the community is getting pretty frustrated with why nothing has been done in two months. He is also a democratic donor, a big donor. Yeah. Okay. He gives lots of money. Now this is a good story because the life of Texas hate group leader left him for a woman. I know. Jonathan Sanez is president of Texas values. The state's leading anti-LGBT group and says that the ultimate goal of the pro-LGBT bills that are proposed are trying to ban the bible. I don't remember the bible ever being mentioned in any of no. In 2011 his wife divorced him to be with a female co-worker. Oh well. I know. You think that's why he's pissed? I think he was pissed before. Was he? I think he was pissed before. I think he's just a curmudgeon. Okay. I'm done. I think she was good for getting out. Yeah. So a little follow-up with the buck. There's two murders. Why is he still walking the street and there's questions about how investigations are being done? Right. Is this really not being given the attention it deserves because they were- He's a big donor. Well, and also because they were gay young men of color. Yeah. So Toronto. I was just thinking about that. As a serial killer, he is going to plead guilty to the eight murders that they've charged him with, which when you look at the analysis of the police's investigation, they only took it seriously with the last victim who was a white middle-class gay man. All of the others were immigrants, people of color. And what I did not see, and it seems to have just fallen by the wayside, they were looking at a series of murders 20 years ago in this same region when our same confess serial killer was living there that were never solved. And for which the community said, we think there is a serial killer here. The police were like, no, no, no, no, no. And it's really bringing out the homophobia within the Toronto police. There were investigations and how justice is done. Well, there was that one in Australia, the same thing, right? Chased you and you're going over the edge of the cliff and it's like, oh no, there's no connection. They slept. Are you going to say something about Toronto pride? In the analysis I read, if I may, pride is in the shambles over the question of the police. Yeah. Last year, there was a huge split. Black Lives Matters initially had stopped the parade because of the police presence. That was two years ago. Last year, the controversy was renewed and the decision was made that the LGBTQ members of law enforcement could participate as an organization as a group, but they could not be in uniform. And it's still not resolved as far as... And what I read was all these revelations now are rekindling the whole dispute and it's falling apart. That's what I heard. They need to find a corporate sponsor. But that's another conversation. I'm ready to expatiate. Okay. I'm feeling vulnerable yet again. So some pieces of legislation here. As I had said, as of July 1st, there will be new licenses issued. The Department of Motor Vehicle has a new software vendor. So there's lots of things happening with the license, including the press release saying there's a holographic imagery of the Vermont logo and butterflies on the license now. I can hardly wait. That would, in theory, make them more difficult to forge. But there's also going to be a non-binary option under gender. You can put male, female, or ex. Senator Bray, who is from Addison County, had heard about this and said, okay, well, we should go further. We should look at the rest of state-issued documents, state-issued identification. Is gender included? If so, is there a real need to include this? Does something happen with that information? Or are we merely doing it because, oh my, is what we've always done? Or do we include a non-binary option wherever gender is being entered? So it's going to be interesting to see what happens with that. What happens if you have an ex on your license and you don't want to get a federal passport? Was that going to be an issue? Because they asked for birth certificate and all that kind of stuff. Who knows, huh? Well, I was going to say, as I'm thinking really quickly, looking at the documents that were required in applying for a passport, it may become more of an issue when we get to a non-binary option on birth certificates. We're not there yet. And there are other forms of identification other than merely the enhanced driver's license that you're supplying. There would be other documents that potentially would meet that requirement and is there really a need to have it on passports? I didn't say that. The other bill that's been introduced as of interest is H185. And this has been introduced by Representative Rachelson from Burlington. And this is looking at all of those, and here's the language, gender segregated school programs, activities and facilities. And what this bill is basically doing is a student bill of rights, that you should be allowed to participate in any of those activities or facilities based upon your identified gender, not necessarily the gender on record with the educational facility. So they just heard this for the first time today. And basically it's just an introduction. The sponsor comes in and says, this is what I introduced. This is the reason I introduced it. This is what it will do. So we'll be following the committee closely to see what it is that happens. The other bill that's going through and that we're watching really closely is H3, which would create an ethnic and social studies standard curriculum task force. And LGBTQ is clearly identified in the bill. However, it is running into some debate because sexual orientation and gender identity were added into the bill actually fairly late in the process and were included under the reporting requirements, that the Department of Education School districts would be required to collect information. What the bill is really looking at doing is trying to create a database where we can look at demographics and performance and say, okay, people of color, this is how they're performing and this is the issues of bullying and harassment that may be having an impact on that. And what the Department of Education came into committee and was saying is we do not currently ask students to identify sexual orientation and gender identity, nor do we ask their parents to identify it of the student. So it's data that they are not collecting and they had real concerns that if they started requiring this, a student in middle school, and I keep thinking about our youth edition where they're still learning about themselves and, oh, these are my true options and this is what it means and these are the language to define it. Excuse me. My response back to the people who are working on the bill is that at this point in time in as far as gathering information, I am more concerned about school districts being required to investigate and report in a comprehensive manner the incidents of bullying and harassment because at this point in time school districts are not reported, are not required to report those to anybody under any circumstance. That's not okay. And by virtue of looking at the harassment and bullying, what you're really looking at is the motivation. Whether you really do know if I am or are not a gay man, the fact that you are harassing me because of my perception that I might be, that's what we really want. What is this happening in schools? And then we can start looking at, okay, can we start gathering information so we can make a direct correlation to how that is impacting students' performance because we already get some of this data from the Department of Health Youth risk survey where they look at the really high percentage of students who identify as transgendered not wanting to go to school because it doesn't feel safe. We can really start collecting some of the data in a comprehensive manner. So you've got a bunch of time now. Do I? Let's go to Ilsky in Russia. No, because they're going to do bad things. They did bad things. They killed an older gay couple, 70-year-old Vladimir Dumetsov and 64-year-old Nikolai Galden. Their bodies were discovered. People talked to a correspondent who went down to investigate and didn't want to be named in the story, not because they were ashamed of how these two men were harassed and even murdered, but because they were embarrassed that a gay couple lived in their town at all. Many in townspeople don't conceal their hatred and complain to the reporter that the couple was openly gay. They had struggles every step of the way with the town authorities. They began to fight with neighbors. Local youth began to torment and abuse them. Dumetsov started lobbying the local government for priority housing that many in the community felt he didn't deserve. He regularly called local officials demanding assistance and entitlements. He was the son of a World War II veteran, his mother served in the naval war against Japan. After the reporter left, police arrested a 23-year-old named Alexander Fett Ogly. He had been incarcerated for burglary. He has a history with the local Cossacks. As a teenager, he traveled to Krimsk in 2012 with the group helping flood relief efforts. His father was also a Cossack member. The young man was arrested a day before he was due to ship out for contract military service. He confessed to the killings claiming that the gay men had made a pass at him. While they were all drinking together and he defended himself, it seems he went a bit overboard, the police told the reporter. On January 13, Dumetsov remains were laid to rest next to his mother's grave. Gauldin's body is still at the town morgue as official search for his relatives. He won't be buried beside his longtime part. So we'll skip Brazil since I already summarized it. Let's talk about the gay monument, the monument in Berlin for gay victims of Nazi persecution. The duo of Elmgreen and Dragset was first commissioned to do the memorial in 2003, located near Berlin's Holocaust Museum. The sculpture is dedicated to homosexuals who were persecuted by the Nazis during World War II when men could be arrested for even so much as kissing each other in public, which is what we were talking about last time. Inside the memorial, a short looped video typically plays. The video is switched every few years and I have a picture now of the memorial. This marks the second time the work titled Memorial to Homosexuals Persecuted Under Nazism has been defaced since it was unveiled in 2008. They should point the camera right at it from across the street or something. It resembles a cuboidal concrete block with a small window carved into it. It was vandalized using black paint, and the picture I showed you has the black paint at the bottom. Authorities have been investigating it as a politically motivated matter. A few months after the work was first erected, viewers ripped down the fencing and smashed the sculptures window. Obviously, many people still have homophobic tendencies in German politicians, old writers. We should see where Patriot Front was that weekend. Yeah, really. Let's talk about a colorful incident on the London Underground. Where they were charging admission. I have a picture of the two gentlemen involved. They are George Mason 35 and Nicholas Milan 24. They shot an X-rated film as they had an orgy and just three stops on the northern line. This is between Lester and Waterloo. We've been on that. We have. The journey only lasts for five minutes, but the reindeer pair managed to perform an array of sexual activity. In five minutes? Mason later posted the film on Twitter and boasted it is outrageously horny. We could not stop ourselves. The porn star, who goes by this stage name, Hung Young Brit, has now been given an 18 month community service order and fined a thousand pounds with core costs of 170 pounds. Mullen, who calls himself Toby on a male escort site, was handed a 12 month community order and required to pay core costs of 170 pounds. Both admitted outraging public decency at Westminster Magistrates Court following the ROM in July 2017. The court heard how the pair, who were previously in a relationship, but not at the time they had sex, had spent the day together in north London before deciding to lead to head to Mason's home in south work. But as they traveled on the busy train, the amorous lovers put an esteemy display to the horror of other passengers, while the third man filmed them. British Transport Police were contacted when another gay man reported- I'm sorry I wasn't on that train. That would have been something. The Transport Police were contacted when another gay man reported the video had been uploaded on February 19th last year. Magistrate Lucinda Lubbock was shown stills of the sex acts and said this was a very unpleasant and serious offense on the public underground. Giving the pair orders, community orders, she added, this is a lesson to both of you. You have been humiliated in the court of social media. All my years writing on public transit. Well, our trivia question. Gay kissing. Sounds like fun. 1988. And you have stories to share. St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, 75 lesbians and gay men in protest of Cardinal John O'Connor. What a lovely man he was. And you wanted to add that Ann Northrop was arrested at this very protest and carried out bodily from the St. Patrick's Cathedral. All are welcome. Well, I think that's it for tonight, don't you? Isn't there another part? No, no, you did that. Well, I did the flirtations. I didn't get a chance to expatiate, but I will next time. I wanted to expatiate about the corporatization of Pride Day. I think that's a show in and of itself. Well, I'm ready. So what do you have to say? I say, as always, resist.

So we've just been talking a lot about wall throws. Now we're going to talk about the glide. What are two simple things you can do to get more out of your stand throw that's going to carry over your full throw and what's one thing you should completely avoid because it doesn't apply to the full throw. We're going to talk about it in this video. So check it out. Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws Nation and in today's video, what we're going to talk about is some glide. In our last few series, we put up some videos and we've been talking about wall throws and we're going to get back and resume that series. We want to break it up just to touch, give you a little teaser and give you some glide work to focus on. Now one of the key things that we talk about with the glide, especially we talked about in our camps and if you'd like information, we do have upcoming camps. So click the link below for check that out. One of the things we always talk about is a very simple principle and again, we've talked about stand throws and we did some things and we showed the angle. What we refer to as setting the angle and setting the stack. Now sometimes you see coaches and people who are teaching you know, put all your weight on one leg and that's a good cue. We think that's effective. But one of the things we'll see and why we kind of advocate setting the angle and setting the stack is because we want to understand our alignment points and sometimes guys will stand on one leg like this, especially when it comes to the glide or some of the throws. So the hip when they straighten up, they're actually you're going to notice tilting into the throw a little prematurely. So this is a really simple way to just make sure everything's aligned. The hips are in the right position and now when we drop, which we call an elevator drop will drop right down into position. So it's setting the angle, setting the stack. This is a really simple thing because we want to see more throwers improving and we want to help you with some simple cues that are going to help do that. Recently this past week, I have an athlete from Canada that was a really talented female young thrower U20 athlete and we went through some basic things and one of the things was understanding that. So this athlete was setting up and was setting up like this. Now this position in a stand throw I think is effective. You can do and get a pretty decent distance on the stand throw. However, if you land in your full throw in this position with momentum, you're going to be crowd in the board. Okay. So one of the things again when when you hit the position and you're practicing again, we say set the angle set the stack and this is going to teach athletes to counter and when I have that good angle over the delivery leg and we're countering that's going to allow us to feel our movement into our block leg, which is what we want. We rotate whether it's rotational shot or glide. We have to be able to move into that block position. So one of the big things is we want to help a lot of our throwers. Here's a simple check. If you're doing this, you want to get out of this habit as fast as you can set the angle set the stack. There's going to be two big tips in this video. So one of the things we're going to do is if we have speed and we land in this position will crowd up, we'll hit our block late and we're going to inevitably be fouling throws and so they might be decent throws because you've eaten up more and you're driving out, but the ring is seven foot not nine foot. So we have to stay in that circle. So one of the core things we do we in our system last year we started integrating a ton of drill bands and it gives us a ton of feedback. You're going to see a lot more people using these bands because what they do is it's a really great tool to give you some feedback. It's visual and you can feel where you're at through the throw. We incorporated this a lot and they give us a lot of visual cues and feel cues and kinesthetic feels. So there's two ways we can show the counter balance, but we're going to show you the first way and if you remember you'll see inside of our membership we go through and we break down this a lot more, but one of the things you're going to do is you're going to notice as I stretch right this is what a lot of people do. You see this so they keep their foot and or they do this and they keep their leg close or they do this. What we want to do is create that stretch from here. So as I set it down you're going to see the band on this angle. So as I drive up you'll see how I'm changing the angle from here to here and that's what's going to be really critical. So that was going to the first big tips. We want you to set the angle and set the stack and the second big tip and we've probably talked about this in another YouTube video is see here's the center of the circle. So we're going to put our foot basically a little bit from the center and we're going to set here and in the glide we like to set here. We create a little separation and we reach and you can see how I'm stretching with the band. That's it. What we see is a lot of kids doing like I said from this and you can see we had an athlete that was doing this and what I was talking about earlier in the video which I think the bug screwed me up my train of thought was when I get here this type of a stand throw will translate. You can get a nice big stand throw because if I'm right here I can just teach and how to drive through the leg. However, if I land in that position on a full throw and I'm here and I have speed I'll get a nice push but I'm going to fly right out of the circle. So it's not a stand throw that mirrors what you need to do in your full throw. One of the core things that you want to do is when we're putting on something like this we start here and we create separation and we reach and we're stretching here. You're going to see how I can get over and now I'm going to be here. You're going to see how I'm going to be able to be on this position. Boom and now I'm going to be able to pull and really punch in and through the block and you're going to notice that you saw the angle that band changing to this position versus being here. You can see how it's too far forward. Here how it's stretched and this is going to lead you into much better stand throws that correlate to your actual throw because as you come through your glide and everybody's here you want to see that angle not this angle and that is your tip for the day. Okay so again hopefully you guys found this video helpful like I mentioned earlier if you have any interest in coming to any throwing chain reaction events from Maritime Throws Nation check the link below. If you are wanting to dive in deep and get into a lot of stuff check out our membership program link below as well and hopefully this tip was helpful. We want to make sure that you don't miss it. We're getting into that time. We're going to get closer to the season so hit that subscribe button. Click on notifications. If you have any questions comment below. We always want to hear what you want to see and we'll help you create some videos help answer some of your questions. Thanks so much and give us a thumbs up and we'll see you on the next video. You're going to be proud in the board. Jesus hold on there's a freaking gnarly ass bee did you hear that thing Jesus and this is where I think ultimately this is going to be the most comfortable start style. So if you notice it's separate position one to separation.

Deep Engagment with Push Notifications (Progressive Web App Summit 2016)

Push notifications are an incredibly effective way to build deeper user engagement with your application, and are now available on the web. In this session, we'll take a look at how they work and deep-dive into how to implement push notifications in web applications, from beginning to end

Hi, my name is Owen and I'm a product manager on Chrome's push notifications. So just before we get started, I feel like now would be a good time to clarify that we actually have two new features in browsers, both with the name push. I think it said that there are three hard problems in computer science, caching, naming things and off by one errors. And so I think we've fallen into the naming things trap here. So there's HTTP push, which allows servers to send down data to the client before they even expect it when rendering a page. And then we have web push notifications which are about sending notifications to our users and that's what we'll be focusing on today. So I'm super excited that we're all here in this room full of amazing web developers and I think at last count five different browser vendor teams to talk about progressive web apps. These are web apps that are reliable, fast and engaging. And I'm going to be focusing on the third point today, engaging, specifically sending push notifications to your users. So push notifications on mobile aren't anything new, but I'm really excited that we finally have access to these as web developers. I'm sure there are a number of you out there that have built great mobile web experiences and then had to wrap it in some kind of Cordova wrapper and suffer the friction of an app store just so you can get that notification capability. So our shackles are now free. We can now go ahead and do this. I think that's really exciting, especially when you look at the services and apps that have been successful on mobile and just look at the top ones and think about how many of them are fundamentally successful in part because of push notifications and we now have the ability to take advantage of that on the web and so there's a bunch of new opportunities that have emerged here that I'm excited about. And this can be really huge for business as well. For example, if we take a look at Jumia, which is a leading e-commerce company in Africa, they had a problem and their problem was that one quarter of their users were adding items to their cart, but they're not actually checking out. They were abandoning that cart. And the site tried to deal with this by sending those users emails and reminding them, but getting a user to type that email in on a tiny screen is really difficult and then the open rates on those emails were extremely low. So it's still early days, but Jumia have implemented push notification on the mobile web and they found that their notifications get a 38% open rate by users and that users that have enabled web push notifications convert on those previously abandoned carts at a nine times higher rate. And so I think these kind of results are really exciting. OK, so push notifications is this amazing new superpower that we have on the web, but everybody knows that with great power comes great responsibility. So this begs the question, what makes a great engaging notification? And so we believe that great notifications are timely, they're relevant and they're precise. And so for these penguins here, a push notification, letting them know that there's a leopard seal behind them would really change the course of their day. And so as you're designing your push notifications flows, just think about whether what you're sending is important enough to warrant an interruption. Would you want to be walking down the street and feel your pocket vibrate and really use that to guide you? And so let's break this down further. I said notifications work great when they're timely. So try and use notifications primarily for time sensitive events, especially if these are synchronous events that involve another user. For example, being sent a chat message, there's another person out there waiting for you to respond and it's something that you care about and it's important that you see it within the right time. So that's a great use case. Calendar is another fantastic use case. You're about to be having a meeting and you need to know where you're going and be reminded to go there. So timely is really key. Secondly, being precise. Notifications should contain all of the information that a user needs to understand what just happened and to take action on it if possible. And thirdly, relevant. It's important to users that the notifications they're seeing are from people that they care about and about things that they care about. OK, so let's give this a go. Here's one example notification. What do we think about this? I think this is pretty good, right? It's timely. I'm probably at the airport and I'm about to get on a plane. It's precise. It tells me my flight number. It tells me when the flight has been rescheduled to. And it's relevant. It's my plane. It's my flight. It's super important to me. So I think that's great. How about this one? Your credit card has been compromised. Well, I think this could have done better. B minus on our scale. So it's timely. It probably just happened. And it's relevant, right? It's my credit card. But it's not very precise. Which credit card? Why was it compromised? What's going on? What action do I take? And so if we reimagine this notification, we can add some extra information, let the user know that a suspicious transaction has occurred, and give them buttons that let them take action and provide feedback to the bank. OK, how about this one? Awesome chat app. You have a new message. So awesome chat app. Your notifications are not so awesome. It's probably timely. I expected a message was sent to me. But it's certainly not precise. And who can say if it's relevant, right? Who knows? So we redesign this, and we get Jake says, I hard service workers. Instantly, I think that should be an award for getting his profile picture in the most number of talks today. I think he's maybe at three or four so far. So that's a great way to redesign this. How about this one? As a side note, I think if Google does launch a self-driving car service, we should definitely call it goober. And so this one is great. It's timely. You know my car is arriving. It's precise. It's telling me where it's arriving at. And it's relevant. It's my car. I'm going to get in and drive away. And then here's probably the worst possible example I could conceive of. This is none of the above. And the risk here, really, is that if you send notifications to your users that don't provide them the value that distract them or spam them, they're going to turn off notifications. And then you're going to lose the ability to get the value from that interaction in the future. OK, so we've talked a bit about the kind of notifications which are good for our users. So now let's take a look at the flow and really how this works on a high level. So push notifications on the web is built on service workers. This is probably a theme that you're seeing emerging throughout the day. And I think it talks to how service workers are becoming this fundamental capability that allowing us to extend the platform in all of these new and interesting ways. And so once you get everything set up, which we'll go into, sending a push notification, the flow is roughly that your site first makes a network request to a push-obscription endpoint. And that's managed by the push server, which then magically wakes up the user's device and manages to fire an event into their service worker. And then that service worker runs some code and it uses the notifications API to show a notification to the user. So let's break that down a little more. The first thing that happens when a user lands on your site is you have to check if the user's already subscribed, so you know whether to show them the opt-in flow. Once you've checked, if they haven't already opted in, you just wait until it's a good time. Maybe the user has just done a search for flights and you give them a button that says, get notified when the price drops. And then once the good time comes, you ask the user to subscribe. You explain the feature to the user that they're opting into and then you eventually show them the permission request. And then once you've subscribed the client, it generates a subscription object. You'll then pass that subscription object up to your server and save it somewhere in a database. And then on your server, when you're ready to send a message, you just generate the message. You send that message to the endpoint that you were given previously. And that endpoint, essentially the push servers keep a persistent, one persistent connection open with the device. And then they use that connection to tell the device to wake up the browser, wake up the service worker. And so this part is special because it means that we're sending push notifications, but the browser doesn't even have to be running on the device. The site doesn't still have to be open. It doesn't use much power. And so it's a really great performance feature as well. And then the push message is received by the browser. And when the push arrives in the browser, it wakes up the service worker and fires an event into it. Your code then handles that event and decides what to do and shows a notification to your user. Easy, right? OK, so now let's take a look at subscribing for push and when you should prompt your users to opt in to get push notifications. So I think that this step is super important because if you're going to be successful with push notifications, you have to get users to turn them on in the first place. And so it's really important to focus on this step in the process. And I think it's important to be clear and intentional and treat this like any other part of your UX process. The key is not to just add a permission prompt on page load without thinking about it. So make sure that the user understands why they're being asked. Make sure that they understand what they're opting into. And so we'll take a look at an example of the Weather Channel. So the Weather Channel have built this page where you can choose to enable push notifications and control some options. So I think this is great because it's specific. You have this page where you know what's going on. You have all of the context that you need. And the permission request itself is user initiated. So when the user goes ahead and checks that box saying activate browser notifications, they see a permission request. No surprises, right? They're very likely to click through at that point. So that's great. And we think it's really nice how they give users options. I can opt into breaking news or government-issued alerts. If you're never sure about what users are going to want to enable, just give them options and let them decide. OK, so we've talked about this on a high level and we've talked about UX. Let's take a look at the code and how we actually subscribe for push notifications. So the first thing I said that we do is we check whether the user's already subscribed. And because these are progressive web apps, the first thing that we do is verify that service workers are available on this client. If the service worker is available, we go ahead and register our service worker. If a service worker is already registered, this will just return with the registration object of that service worker. And then we can call pushmanager.get subscription to get the existing push subscription for the user if one exists. And so now we know whether that's subscribed or not. We can store this in a cookie, use it later, or use this to decide whether to show them an opt-in flow. OK, now we're deciding to subscribe the user for the first time. So again, we're going to get the registration of the service worker that we've registered. And then we call pushmanager.subscribe. Essentially, this is setting up that connection with the push server. So it knows how to talk to this client. It knows that this service worker wants to be able to be woken up. And then there's a option here, which says user visible only true. Essentially what we're saying here is we're promising to the browser that when we send a push message down to the device and our service worker runs in the background, that the user will see something. So we'll either show them a notification, or maybe if they're already looking at the web app, then we don't need to do that. And the idea here is allowing, making sure that browsers can show that permission request saying this site wants to send you notifications, not this site wants to run in the background permanently on your device silently and use all of your battery. So that's why that exists. And then once you've subscribed, actually when you call subscribe, that will be the point where that permission request is shown to the user. And if they accept that request, the promise resolves, and we get back a subscription object, which we can then send to the server. And of course we catch the case where they deny, and we can decide what to show them in that case. So I recommend you all check out the propel sample code up on the Google Chrome section of GitHub, and this shows some great sample code to manage those subscription states, gives you a really nice API to manage them. Okay, so next, once we've subscribed, I said you get that subscription object. What is that? What does that look like? So this is how it looks. It essentially gives you all of the information that you need to identify the user to the push server so it can wake up the right device. It starts with an endpoint. This is like a magic URL. It acts kind of like the user's phone number or email address, but for push notifications there's a way of identifying and reaching out to them. It starts with the URL of the push service that this operating system uses, in our case here, Google Cloud Messaging, and then it has a long string of random letters that identify the current user to that push service. It also includes a bunch of encryption keys, and this is so when you're sending data down to the user's device so you know what notification to show, that message can be encrypted and can't be read by anyone in the middle. Okay, so let's take a look at sending that message from the server. There are two ways that you can send a notification. Firstly, there's what we call a tickle. This is essentially a push message which arrives with no data. So the service worker gets an event that says a push message arrived, but it doesn't get to find out what happened. And the second kind is push with payload. This is where you include data, you let it know what happened on the server and why it's being woken up. And if you're sending payloads, it's encrypted with the keys that we talked about earlier. And so let's take a look at actually sending those. Just before I do, it's worth calling out that the sample code I show here is for using the web push protocol. So the web push protocol is about to start working around now in Chrome, but as the standard's been evolving and the implementation has been evolving, it hasn't been the exact same implementation in older versions of Chrome. So there'll be a link at the end which shows you how to do a backwards compatible implementation, but I'm gonna focus on the future facing and what's really going to be happening from now. So when your server wants to send a push message to the user, it sends a request which looks roughly like this. It's a put request to that endpoint we were given earlier. It has a time to live, which essentially tells the push server how long should you keep trying to send this to the device for? And give up if it's taken more than two minutes. It includes a content type and encoding, and then it includes the public key and salt used to encrypt the message, a vapid signature, and the encrypted payload. I'm not gonna go too much into the details on those last encryption aspects now, but again, there'll be a link at the end which gives you the full breakdown of how this works. And at this URL, you can find sample projects to handle the encryption and message sending on the server side. We have them in Java, in Node.js, in Python. So go and take a look. This is kind of contributed by the open source community. There are contributions also from Mozilla and from Google, and there are a really great set of libraries that will get you up and running. Okay, so now we've worked out how to subscribe to the user and send a push message. But how do we receive it on the client? What does the service worker do? So in your service worker, you just add a new event listener for a push event. When that event fires, you call this magic method called wait until. So wait until, I had to look at this a couple of times, the first times I was trying this. Wait until essentially says, I'm gonna run some code for a while, it's kind of asynchronous, and I'll let you, the browser, know when I'm done. And when I'm done, you can go ahead and kill my service worker. I don't need to be kept running. So this allows us to be very performant and efficient. And you basically pass into wait until a promise, and you resolve that promise when you're finished doing the work, when you've showed the notification. So here we go ahead and we just generate a notification, and this returns that promise that will resolve when it's been shown. So the browser can kill the service worker at the right time. But actually, if you look here, this notification I'm showing basically breaks all the rules we talked about earlier, right? It's static, it doesn't say anything useful. So how do we read the payload? How do we know what was supposed to be showing the user? It's pretty simple. So you just check if event.data exists. If it does, you call .json to convert it into a JavaScript object. If it doesn't exist, then that's the point where you want to make a fetch request to your server to ask, hey, what happened? What should I be showing the user? And then once you have that data, you again just call show notification with the correct title and the body. And note in this case that we actually need to return that show notification to the event.wait until to make sure that the browser knows that we were still doing work. If you don't do this, you might notice in Chrome that you get a little notification saying, this site updated in the background. That generally happens if you resolve the promise to wait until before you show the notification. Because that's Chrome checking and saying, hey, did you show a notification? Oh, they didn't. We'll show one on their behalf to make sure the user knows. That's the user-visible-only-true thing coming into play. So we also have support for action buttons on web push notifications. These make it easy for users to complete a task without even opening the app. Here we can see that a user can confirm their reservation. You could also use this to have users like or retweet something to pay a bill, increase their bid on an auction. There's many interesting opportunities there. And using action buttons is super easy. In the show notification call, you just pass in an actions object, and you give the title, the icon, and this action string key thing that we're gonna use to recognize when the user taps on one of those buttons. So then if a user does tap on a button or on the notification, a notification click event will be fired. And that's where we'll say, hey, if the action was like, then we'll reach out to the server and let it know that it was liked. And if there's no action, then we know that they just tapped on the notification. In this case, we're just gonna open a new tab to the notifications page on the server. Okay, so we're almost there. We're just gonna wrap up now. And I don't think that we can do this talk without talking about browser support. So it's worth noting that web push notifications are already supported today in Chrome and Firefox. I was excited to see the Opera shipped web push notifications last week. Samsung browser shipped web push notifications earlier in their browser 4.0. And I read last week that the Edge team have just announced that they're currently implementing push notifications on the web. And at this point, you might be looking at that and saying that looks great, but there's maybe one missing that we care about. What do we do? And I think that there's a big takeaway here, which is that progressive web apps are fundamentally progressive. So when you invest in your web experience, you make the experience better for your users everywhere. And if you use progressive web app features in the browsers that support those features, it's gonna be even more awesome. And this actually turns out to be true when you look at the data. Earlier this year, AliExpress, a very big e-commerce company, rebuilt their site as a progressive web app. And in Safari, they saw an 82% increasing conversions on average. And that's a browser that doesn't currently support service workers in these new features. But I think it just goes to show that there's a huge opportunity in investing in the mobile web. And if you build a great progressive web app like they did, you can get that value across all of the browsers and even more value in the browsers that support these features. Okay, so we're gonna build better engagement on the web using web push notifications. We're going to send notifications that are timely, precise, and relevant. Just think about these things and ask yourself, would I wanna receive this notification? Are my users going to be delighted by this experience? We should make sure to ask for permission in context so the user knows what they're signing up to and they're likely to click through because they see the value proposition in what you're giving them. And be awesome. We have these new amazing superpowers. Use them to build awesome, amazing new experiences for your users that you're going to love, your company's going to love, and that they're going to love. And with that, I'm going to leave you with a few links where you can read more about this. We have a guide for getting started with push notifications and then some details about the encryption aspects. Tomorrow we'll have some code labs where we'll go through some of this stuff. And coming soon on Udacity, there'll be a course there so you can learn about that if you're watching from home. So thank you very much.

Okay, very good morning. It's Anthony Chunk here from Amplified Trading. It is Tuesday the 16th of June. Don't forget to like and subscribe to the YouTube channel. Everything that you need to learn about trading and also financial markets. So daily macro briefings for me, tech core analysis videos from my colleague Sam and kind of markets explained on key topics from Eddie. So videos coming out every day of the week. So don't forget to subscribe to the channel. A quick look then at markets this morning and Yeah, what a difference a day makes to quote a famous phrase and Yeah, equities having a really powerful recovery after what looked like a fairly nervy start to the week on a pick up in the coronavirus cases that we were seeing globally particularly in key geographic regions like several North American states and also in mainland China being overwhelmed if you like by the wave of Fiscal and monetary stimulus that keeps getting thrown at the market from this time the Fed and also the US Administration would talk of another trillion dollar stimulus package from Trump. So they're the main things I'm going to talk about and going to give you a bit more detail about what exactly happened yesterday and Yeah, go into somebody's these stories in more detail. Interestingly I saw a funny tweet this morning and it was saying the only winners in the market Last night were the Federal Reserve and the Robin Hood traders who of course have this idea of Not caring a great deal about the underlying intrinsic value of assets more So they just keep buying on the notion that you know this this the stock market can't go down They weren't wrong yesterday. And so just having a quick look across these asset classes here You can see the S&P 2500, you know just an awesome recovery yesterday after you know, we broke down through some key areas in yesterday's trade We had that test of the blip that we saw before the kind of ramp into the close on Friday The reopening of trade on Sunday night on Globeck saw a test and bounce off that level And then we just broke down in the European session all the way down to the respective kind of S2 actual level there before the bounce came in but it's really since the open on Wall Street We continue to move higher as Europe exited the market We just continue to push on and there were a couple of catalysts along the way here With a new announcement of some more details and the latest one of the latest facilities announced by the Federal Reserve Which we'll have a look at The DAX then this morning playing a bit of catch-up. So bit of a gap higher in the DAX As you can see here in the chart Just broadening this out slightly here so a gap up from the close that we had last night and Finding a bit of support then that initial low that was seen at the reopening of trade In the overnight session in the futures market for the DAX just coinciding with that high that we had in the European morning On Friday just providing a bit of a floor now for price activity And that's quite a key level you can see here going back to the early part of June as well And also to support level and respective resistance on the 11th Quite a key area now support on the downside if we were to move back down at any point today in the DAX And of course if we did then looking for that gap filled down towards those highs that were seen in around 12,100 there in the DAX on the upside Keeping an eye here. We've had an overnight challenge on a couple of occasions up around this 12 329 which also brings into play that low that we saw. This was actually the the day of the ECB that was when we saw that volatility initial pop decline and then kind of stabilization to trade pretty much neutral from where we were and So yeah, it's some some interesting upside levels and downside levels here in terms of a range perspective now Just just to see where we go from today. I don't really have too much of an outright view here Where they're going to rally or fall just given the nature of what's been happening with these Kind of focus on the risk, but then these the central banks and the governments come out and pledge more More kind of stimulus. It's hard to really call the market right now all I'd say is I guess following logic then that we continue to track With great interest and vigilance the ongoing Developments of some of the coronavirus numbers coming out of various states in America those sensitive ones like California, Texas, Florida, and so on north and south Carolina also developments in China But yeah as far as The stimulus announcements go you would say that for the time being as far as the intro day is concerned perhaps We've heard everything so far. I there's not much more now to be announced if that makes sense So whether or not this equity bid can be sustained. I'd say if I was going to pick a side I'd rather be more biased to potentially know and that now the kind of the the general forces at play have kind of shot their bullets the Fed have come out Trump has come out the markets moved accordingly. So that's kind of priced in to some extent So a little bit of a drift off perhaps the there's just a strength of the rally yesterday and to find a bit of consolidation could well be the order of the day and then I guess I mean the the mindset now of not really looking to force and view too much a little bit more just letting the charts dictate the type of Strategies to deploy at this point and then just finding some some solid technical Set-ups to play out that view. So yeah, just looking elsewhere gold here in the top right Has been a bit of an odd one actually hasn't really been responding too much from a risk perspective But you can see here the pivot level in the near term. It's just trading close proximity to that at the moment Perhaps a significant near-term level here. You can see in yesterday's session. It was a respected level both in the early and late European session was also back on Friday and Thursday of last week as well So, yeah If that that gold move a little bit hard to get the cue off equities at the moment because it has been if anything Tracking rather than being an inverse relationship According to a risk sentiment So again, I'd be more inclined to look at that from a more technical Basis that we know how quickly gold can move through key levels and see a bit of momentum go through The order books I'd be kind of looking at that that way in the effects markets the Dixie Gap down upon the rally and renews risk appetite last night. So it is recovering a little bit for quite depressed levels So naturally then major pairs Rallyed yesterday, but a bit of consolidating at the moment So again, it really the effects markets have been quite a good indication at the moment of risk I think yesterday I was working with a couple of guys and This was around a time at the open and we were kind of looking at the S&P NASDAQ We're looking to break higher and actually it was the Euro kind of breakthrough quite a key upside level That then the currency market started moving and that was almost the the first domino to fall that then actors a trigger for those US equities to take out some upside levels given the fairly tight correlation at the moment of the dollar being a Reflection of just general risk appetite. I risk on dollar weakness risk off dollar strengthen in that respect but let's have a look at some of the stories that have been coming out because there are plenty to talk about and Gonna kick off with the first one which is Here so the Fed will begin buying broad portfolio of corporate bonds I actually had a couple of alerts go for my phone a couple of the guys were Asking questions about this last night And so here's the kind of the more detail to be aware of so the Federal Reserve Planned to buy individual bombs under its what's called the secondary market corporate credit facility bit of a mouthful But that's the SMCCF Underscoring then its role of continuing to be somewhat of a backstop for markets So the SMCCF is one of nine Emergency lending programs that were announced in March So the fact that they they've announced what they did last night is not a surprise in terms of the actual program What is a surprise? There's some of the details about what exactly and how they're going to purchase Which a lot of people are looking at so it has Couple of things to be aware of capacity of two hundred and fifty billion dollars So far. Well, that's the capacity so far It's only invested about five and a half billion and ETFs to purchase corporate bonds. So, you know, it's a mammoth program And hence the reason why, you know markets look at these types of facilities in such a bullish kind of fashion Given the scale is quite unprecedented The Fed announced that it would purchase corporate bonds to create a portfolio that reflects a broad diversified market index of US corporate block bonds rather than just buying exchange traded funds that track credit So that last point there is the is the really important one So it's this idea that they're going to be purchasing a corporate bonds to create a portfolio rather than the kind of a fixed tracker That the market took as a cue as being a little bit Beyond what that they were expecting. So this was kind of the first thing that happened last night. We also had Yesterday the Fed separately announcing it had now opened its Main Street lending program so the MSLP for small and medium-sized businesses and The other thing well two things then that we had on the back of this as you can imagine US corporate bonds are rallying on the back of the Fed announcement So when this came out, you can see the Fed saying you'll begin buying corporate bonds on Tuesday This is looking at one of the respective Indexes that you can monitor to track this type of specific movement tied to US corporate bonds And then the other thing that happened was Trump came out And the Trump team weighing a one trillion dollars for infrastructure to spur the economy So an existing US infrastructure funding law is coming up for basically renewal at the end of September And the administration sees that as a possible vehicle to push through a broader package According to people familiar with the matter the Democrats they unveiled their own 500 billion proposal this month as well So again, it's kind of whatever it takes and you know from a a campaign a Political campaign year it is not that Untoward to see this type of activity and you would pretty much very much expect Trump to be throwing everything at trying to Stimulate the economy through infrastructure That being then to offset the magnitude of the economic downturn that we've experienced in the pandemic and to get the economy Back on track doesn't matter how depressed some of the economic figures are as long as they're moving north He's got a good narrative there that he can say that you know He's helping assist a solid recovery and that's where they're heading as per some of the tweets He's been saying more recently. So, you know, these two forces Have been the underlying reason of why markets have Recovered like they have particularly in US equities. The other thing we've had overnight the Bank of Japan Just another reason for the short-term optimism They are upsizing a corporate lending support program. They kept everything else unchanged as expected So the central banks virus response package is now is estimated to be one trillion dollars worth in size The bank still has scope to use existing measures more for the economy as well as what they were suggesting So not really that surprising in terms of what the POG did but again The fact they increased the size of the lending support again kind of in fitting with the other facilities and mechanisms that the US have put in place and You know all the more support now that they're they're implementing Moving elsewhere. We had the One-hour kind of teleconference call between Johnson and the UK in European negotiators over brexit And a couple of things to be aware of So the UK and European Union look on course to reach a deal over their future relationship with the bloc's top officials confident Johnson is willing to compromise and the Prime Minister said the prospects for an accord are very good formal discussions will resume on the 29th of June in a more concentrated format than the previous three Week kind of format British government which has ruled out extending the December deadline for negotiations from privately Officials from Brussels and London say they are focusing on reaching an accord between mid-august and the summit of EU leaders scheduled for mid-october One thing I did share with the guys I emailed out on the distribution list this morning was this This was looking at a nice matrix of different Scenarios being the highest one the most to the bottom one the least likely This was constructed by the guys at ing economics And I tweeted this yesterday as well. My handle is there so feel free to grab the graphic from there But I do like these matrix That they put together which basically Break down what it is exactly that's expected But interestingly it gives us a market impact in this case for euro sterling in the cross and the 10-year gilp over the period of the coming quarters So ing's base case and I have read increasing amount of banks looking at this now actually Not expecting a transition Extension so despite some of the things that I have been saying over recent months about the idea that the pandemic gives a good excuse to kind of get a delay In order to have a more safer and sound economically Transition period into delivering brexit. Most of these banks now think that actually the UK government will not do that And that actually they will kind of put together a piecemeal kind of very basic trade deal And that would be enough then for politically them to kind of move forward particularly for the UK to say that they've Delivered brexit now, obviously this is going to have some Initial disruption to supply chains at the start of 2021 When we start to actually start formally leaving the single market But it kind of is almost like the lightest touch deal where a lot of stuff remains the same But it gives then the politicians enough political say to Go back to the public and say they've committed on the promise and what the government's mandate was which was to deliver brexit And then they can sort out all the other details over the foreseeable future So that's what quite a few people are looking at at the moment And as per as I've just said in some of these articles this morning they're kind of talking about a timeline now Of looking to get something done By mid-august and a summit of EU leaders scheduled for mid-october And actually if I just quickly jump to my twitter account Again, if you if you need it here's a kind of full timeline of the key dates to be aware of so that that looming Deadline, of course, and as UK UK weekly talks, they're going to happen At the end of june, which is then the first of july the deadline for the transition extension Which at this point as I said most banks now are suggesting that that's not going to be the case that the UK will formally ask Or request for that Then we have the august period and that then leads up into this mid-october EU council meeting Which is where they're looking to get the deal Done and so here it would be end of october UK EU deal to allow for ratification And then basically we go through the council meeting in december the transition period ends and then the new relationship begins as per the Predetermined timetable as it exists today, which is the first of january 21 Yeah, good research report from from ing on this going into more details about various different scenarios Their base case and then what need to happen for the other ones to materialize and how the markets might react So again, if you just jump on my twitter account You can get that full timetable and also the link to the article with that ing graphic as well for those that need it Okay, looking at the calendar for today. What have we got? Well, we've already had some economic data come out So let me just get you up to speed The UK unemployment rate for april was actually 3.9 percent. So there's actually lower than expected average hourly earnings They were a touch lower Claiming count change was higher than expected overall Sterling not phased by that economic data. You've had german cpi come in in line with expectations. So A negative reading on the month to month at minus 0.1 and plus 0.6 in the year a year But again, these were in line with expectations. I'll be a minutes overnight Nothing particularly exciting and not really much in the way of a reaction in the Aussie So no real need for me to go into that in greater detail But having a look at what else is there You've got the iea monthly all market report that'll be at 9 a.m. London time Always worth keeping a bit of an eye on just to see the adherence to just general compliance with the Predefined OPEC plus agreement and then also the outlook as it evolves about demand going forward oil As you've already seen on the charts this morning bouncing in step with equities Given the fact that you know, generally the short term influences fundamentally for oil have been very much so pinned on How the virus Is going to impact the global economy and as such consequently demand And at this point as we've said, you know, if infrastructure spending in the u.s. It's going to be on mass supplemented by a variety of different Mechanisms from the Fed to support the economy or then that alleviates some of that tension And so oils come back up to the top of this recent range trading on the 37 handle Um elsewhere this morning zew economic sentiment. I'm looking for further improvement there So again, this is the economist and analysts kind of current and forward-looking expectations in in germany So I don't think that's going to be too much of a surprise because obviously economies are generally reopening and numbers have been Relatively controlled. So we should be coming off the most depressed levels here And a lot of these economic indicators and that's pretty much the same conclusion for us retail sales today That's kind of your main headline reading at 130 Looking for a bounce back month to month to 8 percent from a previous obviously record breaking negative 16.4 percent But again, this is a may report So it will encompass the fact that many of the u.s. States were reopening during this period. So it's going to be a much more Solid figure than what we had in the complete shutdown of april Hence the reason why that prior was so bad Otherwise you've got u.s. Industrial production cap utilization coming out this afternoon The na hb housing market index and then the api is coming out after market speaker wise today is the first of the Powell testimony So he'll testify before the senate banking committee before he heads to the house tomorrow So today is always the more important one because he generally just repeats His speech to the house How important is today's speech? personally, I think it is Not very important and the basis of my reasoning being that the federal reserve meeting was only just a few days ago And not only was it a federal reserve statement and press conference They also released their latest summary of economic projections So as far as the clarity goes in fed communication, they've already outlined that very recently So I don't see any need for power to come out and really shake things up here So he's probably going to be as it usually is when a central banker meets politicians much more of kind of Approding the finger and pointing and why haven't you done this and why did you do that? And how do you see this working and these sorts of questions? And I'm sure they'll try and draw him in given the disparity in the fiscal response between the republicans and the democrats currently being experienced on Capitol hill, but he will be reluctant to really comment on anything of that nature So keep an eye out for that Three o'clock feds. Clarida also a voting member, but that's not until later on 9 p.m. London So 3 p.m. Chicago into the close on wall street Fixed income wise some uk supply But that's about it The other thing as well the final thing I was meant to wrap in when I was talking about all the positives that helped yesterday Was obviously yesterday. We also had the other big Tail risk for markets was the u.s. China ongoing trade dialogue and mike Pompeo The secretary of state said he planned to meet chinese officials in hawaii earlier this week two u.s. Officials said And one western diplomat told cnn on sunday. So again, that's another thing that can Probably underpin some of the the general positivity from yesterday. I guess the point I want to make today is I think a lot of that now is reflected on the on the screens And so I wouldn't just come in today and just start hitting it going long Not unless the market perhaps comes down a little bit and you get the strategic nice point to get in from an entry perspective And what I mean by that is you know, let's just take a simple Example here in the s and p if the s and p were to come back down to You know this kind of area here, which has been a pretty decent level on prior occasions So if we come back down to 30 75 and a quarter well, then perhaps it starts to become quite interesting And do we for the time being until we get the next the next kind of catalyst? See perhaps a little bit of consolidation in in that type of nature All right, that is it any questions feel free to leave a comment on the video happy to help as always And don't forget to like and subscribe to the youtube channel. All right guys take care and have a good day Thanks very much

Welcome to Street Smart Samurai. I'm Dana Abbott, and I will be your guide throughout this video series on Kenjitsu, how to wield a Japanese sword. Street Smart Samurai was created for those of you who want to learn the fundamentals of Kenjitsu and apply those learned techniques to everyday real life scenario. At the beginning of this series, and to simplify sword technique, I'm going to strip away some of the tradition, a fair amount of ritual, a whole bunch of the culture, and even a lot of the clothing, and step into the world of reality. And break sword fighting technique down to the bare bones, showing you how to train and fight in the shortest amount of time. In the same manner, it was taught in the Showa era by the Japanese military. Showa era, Japanese military, what's so beneficial about learning the sword in this day and age? It's all about focus and consistency. Learning the sword creates a very strong core, both mentally and physically. Plus, it increases your awareness of the surroundings while improving your timing, rhythm speed balance, but most of all, your demeanor. If you upload these ancient cutting patterns into your muscle memory, the sword will become an extension of your body and its byproducts, being able to fight and defend yourself with anything that is placed in your hand. Think about it, if someone picks up a stick, they might hold off an attacker. Use that same stick as a sword after learning all the prescribed training patterns. That person will be able to take out anything in the path and humble it. Anything that fills your hand as simple as a rolled up magazine, as common as a broomstick, can now become an aggressive tool of technique. And with practice, you will become proficient. No matter what school you have attended or what style you practiced, every system has a common link called Kihon, the basics. Therefore, whatever you do, Street Smart Samurai will work for you. Street Smart was made for those who want to learn how to wield a Japanese sword from beginning to advanced Kenjitsu, starting with the grip and then progressing to the various aspects of the sword and the fighting technique that is involved. All you have to do is observe the training materials in media, practice the prescribed tasks and techniques and then demonstrate those learned techniques with Street Smart Samurai. The sword is a tool, therefore grasped as a tool. In the same fashion, you would grasp an axe, a hammer, or even a butcher knife. Your hand fits better on the ridge of the handle. The knife is safer and offers more balance and leverage. Squeeze the handle firmly, not with a death grip, but more like you're riding with a pen. Here are a few easy to understand images on how to grip, grasp, and hold a sword. Did you know that using a riding utensil and using the sword have the same fundamental grip? That is why for centuries, many people have said a pen mightier than the sword. I want you to look at how to hold a pen. At the very beginning, when you first held one in your hand, you probably grabbed it like this and it was undoubtedly a crayon and you started drawing and writing. But over time and through school, you found out if you placed it in your hand a little differently, it just offered much more than grabbing it this way. You had all these different angles. You could write here, you could write there. You could adjust it in and that's how I want you to look at a sword's handle. You can't just grasp a sword's handle and think it's going to hit the object. You have to manipulate or articulate the tip of the sword through gripping the handle to the target. Another object I'd like you to take in consideration is a hammer. Everybody's used a hammer. Everybody understands how a hammer works. You put your hand on top of the handle, on top of the ridge and then you usually strike downward to drive a nail into wood, for example. The difficult part is if you take this basic concept of using the hammer and gripping the hammer and bring your hand over on the side, for example, or if you hold it in an incorrect manner, not only will you won't be able to hit the nail on the head, you might injure your hand or your wrist. The same physics are applied to handling and grasping a sword. Gripping a sword is not that difficult or challenging. The problem arises when you take something simple as the grip and make it more difficult than it is. Let's keep this very simple. Let me put the sword down on this table here so you can put it into a relation. I'll put it with the blade down and let go. You notice when I put it down with the blade down, let it go. It won't stay up. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the back of the blade and lay it on the table. It will stay in place. Now, watching my hands, you can see when I come down to grip the handle, my hands come on top of it, almost like I'm going to do a push-up on top of this. And the reason why I put it on the table is so you can see this. A lot of times when people pick up the sword and they hold it, they're going to hold it out here in this type of manner, which works well, not. I want you to look at it a little bit differently. I want you to bring the sword in and have your hands on top of this. So when you do swing down or at an angle, you're going to have the pressure going with gravity or vice versa when you cut up. Bringing it back on this table and turning the blade over now, I'm going to come in here, bring my hands up, and then bring them down just like this. My fingertips are touching the sides of the handle. Now as they get past the sides of the handle, now my fingertips are starting to grip around the bottom and my thumbs are coming up on top this way. You notice it isn't a grip like I'm going to grab it like this. It's more of a grip like holding a pin. So bring that down and make sure that you can give your grip the movement it needs to go from one technique to another. Let's take a closer look at the grip. When I grip the sword, I'm not really moving my hands all over the handle. I'm keeping them fairly well situated in the same place. And the reason why is if I start moving my fingers this way or this way, I'm going to telegraph and the grip on the sword won't be as secure as I want it. Therefore, when you see people moving their fingers around or lifting their hands up like this and creating air between the handle and your palm, it feels good. It creates more of a relaxed shoulders and relaxed posture. But as a general rule, you'll find out that the sword cannot get to the target area as well as it could. When you grip grasp and hold the handle correctly, the fight is halfway finished.

Hey Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. All right, you guys. I've got 24 big-money Bolo's coming your way items I bought low and sold for big money most of these items sold for anywhere from $35 and up to 157 was the highest sale in this video. So a good range I'm gonna tell you where I got it what I paid for it and what it sold for I'm Courtney also known as Bolo buddies and on this channel I share with you guys about Bolo items items to be on the lookout for items to buy low and sell high so we are gonna get right into some big-money Bolo's and Let's get started All right, so the first item That I sold are these plastic blow mold string lights So they're checked a shaped like pumpkins or jack-o'-lanterns and I picked these up at the Goodwill for $3 and I ended up taking a best offer of $50 on these This was actually three sets. So this was a longer Strand like you can string them all together. So $50 the buyer was all in for $71 and 23 cents on those The next item is this Eden pure It's a humidifier. So Eden pure makes heaters and I have sold the heaters before but this was a humidifier and it was new old stock in the package Got it at a garage sale for $5 Never heard of the humidifier, but knew of the heaters. So I went ahead and pick this up I figured it's new old stock for five bucks. I might as well I ended up taking a best offer of $38 on this and the buyer was all in for 54 32 And it was you can see it's still in the original packaging So I just disclosed that the box had been opened and I did take it out of the box to show the condition to show that it Still had the plastic and everything on it The next item I picked up at a garage sale for $5. I'm sorry $3 and it looks like I Missed one. Hopefully it's I just mixed up the tabs because it's a good one Okay, so yeah, these came from a garage sale. They are fire king anchor Hawking salt and pepper shakers They are milk glass and the condition is you know, it's just kind of fair this one's all rusted out but Still sold for $50 best offer buyer was all in for 60 35 so definitely a nice little pick up there And it looks like I missed the mask. So that's a bummer I don't know why it somehow got deleted Okay, so this is baby Jesus and this is a jointed nativity seen doll. So it's kind of like a baby doll I Want to say it's like vinyl or yeah plastic vinyl and Super super darling. I picked this up at a thrift store for a dollar fifty. I could not believe it And this would be something that would maybe be used in an nativity scene like at a church or something like that But really really cute sold it for best offer of $48 and the buyer was all in for $60 and 20 cents The next item I sold is this huntsman civil row maiden England paisley tie And I do not remember where I got this I picked ties up all the time from thrift stores garage sales Estate sales a lot of times. I'll buy them in small lots and this one sold for a best offer of $40 Plus tax and shipping all in for 50 05. I will say ties are tough A lot of them are going to be really low dollar If they're not a name brand and probably hard to sell But if you can find some of the more expensive name brands they can do pretty good So 40 bucks on this tie. I was really happy with that The next item is this doll house furniture. It's for a living room. It's got this green checkered look to it Pick this up at in a state sale for seven dollars and fifty cents and that's paying up for me I did pay up a little bit, but I had a good feeling about it And I ended up selling these for fifty dollars and the buyer was all in for sixty five ninety five And you can see here. I've got the original packaging, but it wasn't complete like the top had been cut off. So The next item I sold is this Ceramic tree and this is a cordy tree C O R D E Y number one thirty one and you can see the base sits really high and I thought it was kind of scary because I have three ceramic trees And I thought about keeping it and then I was like, oh, I'm afraid I'm gonna knock that over And I showed right there that it was missing one of the little light pegs I got this at a garage sale for ten dollars ended up selling it for a hundred and fifty seven fifty and The buyer was all in for two oh seven forty one I like selling ceramic trees, I do not like shipping them So they are tough to ship with the base and all of that that one I actually left the base on and I just wrapped it with a bubble wrap really tight So it must have made it. I never heard anything. So I Got these Avon heavenly blessings nativity. It's a lot of ten. It's not a complete set. These are replacements from 1986 you guys the Avon nativities do pretty well. I Got this at a garage sale for three bucks and I ended up selling it really fast for fifty six dollars shipping This haunted house kit I got at a garage sale for ten dollars and It did take a little while to sell It did have some damage to the box But I ended up selling this for a best offer of seventy dollars. The buyer was all in for eighty four forty This hello kitty came from an estate sale and it is a self-standing Christmas plush doll porch greeter 23 inches by jemmy g e m m y it is a harder to find one I could not find another one exactly like it if I remember correctly and I ended up taking a best offer of fifty on this and it The buyer was all in for sixty seven fifty nine. I got this at an estate sale for six The next item is this vintage Gillette sensor razor. I have sold these before so when I saw it I knew it was a bolo This is from 1993 it is collectible and I ended up selling this for forty two dollars The buyer was all in for fifty one ninety one and I got it at an estate sale for one dollar And if you want to see a bunch of other items that my husband and I picked up at an estate sale there is a video titled we split up at this estate sale and Literally him and I went in we went our separate ways. We just completely split up and He grabbed a bag of stuff and I grabbed a bag of stuff and we came home and we unboxed it for you guys and I pop up screen shares of everything that sold and everything that is still actively listed But I think there were probably eight to ten items that had already sold by the time I did the video So they actually the items that we picked up moved pretty quickly So it's definitely a good video to go check out if you're looking to learn a lot of the items were bread and butter But some of them like this forty two bucks for this razor. I think that's pretty good The next item is this spoon. I picked this up at a garage sale for two dollars. It's got this really pretty pattern on it Demotoss, I'm not sure if I'm saying that correct, but Lily of the Valley pattern initial K And I can't I I don't know if I used Google lens or if I just looked up What it said on the back here and just kind of looked through patterns But I did figure out that it was Lily of the Valley or Maybe I messaged my friend Ron 360 vintage company and he makes a lot of jewelry and he may have told me the pattern I think that may have been what happened. I've had a few spoons lately So trying to remember on that but this sold for thirty six dollars. The buyer was all in for forty three forty five The next item is this Nintendo DS. I walked up to a garage sale you guys and I got this for three dollars I could not even believe the price tag said three dollars So I could not walk away with that quick enough and the buyer bought this sold for eighty two ninety The buyer was all in for a hundred and twenty hundred dollars and twenty eight cents The next item I love these it's a vintage fiber optic flowers. It's a lamp It's a music box, but in this case the music box did not work But it is fiber optic and it is so cool. I love these This ended up selling for thirty eight dollars. The buyer was all in for fifty four ninety and I got this at the Goodwill for six bucks The next item is this vintage house of hatton twelve days of Christmas ornament calling birds from 1989 These house of hot and ornaments are definitely a bolo I ended up selling this for forty two dollars on best offer picked it up at an estate sale for five bucks The buyer was all in for fifty one thirteen And I totally miss another one. Where are they going? That is so weird hmm, I Had another house of hatton and it disappeared. That's two that I'm missing from this video, huh? Okay, so this spongebob Spongebob Lego set I will copy those over and put them in the next big money bolo video, so I make sure you guys get that content So stay tuned for that so this came from Facebook I got about five bucks in it and It came in a lot of Lego, so I did have to assemble it which it wasn't too bad and The big sets. I just unless it's like big money. I won't do it, but these spongebob's There I mean forty bucks I got for this and it's a pretty small set So that was worth my time to put it together and the buyer was all in for fifty dollars and eighteen cents The next item are these vintage scratch and sniff stickers fabulous flavors banana And I ended up taking a best offer of forty five on these and the buyer was all in for forty nine thirty I do have a video on this. I believe it's on my sourcing with bolo buddies YouTube channel. I Picked up a lot of stickers from a garage sale I believe I paid three dollars for all of them It has been a home run if you want to learn about vintage stickers. Definitely go check out that video I have about probably ten cents a quarter in this not much at all This vintage scream. I don't know if it's vintage. I may maybe it's from 2000 something but a fun world scream for ghost mass light up animated plaque now The problem is is that it was getting jammed up. So I had to sell it as is I put a video in the description If this would have been in working order, I probably could have got over a hundred dollars for it But I paid five bucks at a garage sale ended up selling it for fifty dollars And the buyer was all in for eighty four twelve with tax and shipping. I Finally found an Avon calendar you guys I was at a garage sale and I walked in and I got it for like a buck I Was so excited because you know how you have like the Bolo's that you want to find This was one of the Bolo's that I wanted to find and I found one I sold this for a hundred and seventy five dollars and the buyer paid shipping and tax So they were all in for one ninety seven eighty six and again my cost of goods was one dollar If you guys want to learn more about Avon items that you can sell for a good profit I do have a video a category Bolo video on Avon items some of them might surprise you There are some out there that are still pretty decent This Harmony Kingdom singing dragon Silent Night original box I got this at a garage sale for three dollars took a best offer of forty and the buyer was all in for forty nine seventy nine Harmony Kingdom is definitely worth looking up Some do better than others. Some are just a bread and butter. This one did pretty well. So I was pretty excited about that The next item is this house of hat in 12 days of Christmas goose. So this one is 1997 so it was a little more modern Still vintage but more modern than the ones from the 80s that I got and I full fully expected this one to be worth less And I was completely wrong This one is more of a rare harder to find item and I ended up selling this for a best offer of seventy five dollars Plus shipping five dollars was my cost of goods. The buyer was all in for eighty seven ninety four And I probably could have held out for more Closer to ninety, but I just went ahead and took it The other house of hat and that I sold are the five golden rings 12 days of Christmas 1989 I took a best offer of sixty two dollars on this one and the buyer was all in for seventy one sixty three and State sale five dollars. So I went into an estate sale and they had a tree I like a wire tree with all of these hanging on it and I had heard of house of hat and before and You can see here. This is how it's marked H of H. Okay guys, definitely be on the lookout I'm sure it helps that I had the tags with mine, but I'm Definitely a bolo even without the tags. So if you see those house of hat and look them up for sure All right, you guys that was supposed to be 24 big money bolos But I think two of them did not work for some odd reason Again, I'll put them in the next video and I apologize for that. So maybe there were only 22, but thank you for being here Thank you for watching. Please leave me an owl emoji if you made it this far and thanks for watching

Thank you very much, Hugo, for the introduction. First of all, I would like to thank the organizers for this great opportunity to give a talk at this workshop and school. And the topic is essentially apart from the general line of mixing and control, but this is about controllability and stabilizability. As it was already mentioned several times, controllability is an important property in control theory, which is also used in proving many fundamental results during this workshop and during this summer school. And therefore, I would like to address another important application of controllability property, namely, how controllability can help for studying long-time behavior of non-linear control systems. By long-time behavior, I would mean stability or asymptotic stability in the sense of Lyapunov. And the structure of my talk is essentially comes from the observation that many non-linear systems are not stabilizable in some regular sense, so it's not possible to achieve Lyapunov stability asymptotically. And some kind of fast oscillating controls are essentially appearing in this situation. So here you see the outline, sorry, here you see the outline of my presentation. I'm going, maybe, not in the direction that I intended, but okay. So what I would talk about, I would talk about that, suppose that we have at least three interesting classes of non-linear systems, which give us challenge in the stabilization problem. Firstly, let us just consider a very simple example coming from non-honomic mechanics. That is essentially an example of a unicycle type in the sense that, just as a naive illustration of what is going on, assume that we have a wheel rotating on the plane, so there is a plane, say, with X1 and X2 coordinates, and there is a wheel rotating on the plane, and there is a rolling without slipping condition. So if we just write this equation in the sense of kinematics or dynamics in a non-honomic system, so you see that if there is no slipping condition, if we denote, say, by X1, X2, the projections of the center line of this wheel onto X1, X2 plane, and if we denote by theta the angle between the plane of this wheel and X1 direction, we get immediately rolling without slipping condition so that the vector with coordinates X1 dot, X2 dot, so the velocity, should be parallel somehow to the direction described by the angle theta. We may write this non-honomic constraint as a path equation in the sense that X1 sin theta minus X2 cosine theta is zero, and we can immediately observe that this constraint is non-honomic in the center, it is not integrable. There is no first integral of this path equation. To become more clear, we may even write this equation as the first equation in this slide, so introduce functions u1, u2, and treat those functions as controls, and then we write the simplest control system which we would like to study in this talk, but we would like also to see some kind of general classes behind this example, so we immediately arrive to this very simple but very useful example of control system to be studied in this talk. So this is essentially a system on R3, and it has two controls. The system is underactuated and the center, the number of controls is less than the number of states, but the system is good in some sense that it is controllable. I would give some precise facts about that later on. For us, this is just a motivation how to study stabilization problem for this system. Of course, there are many other interesting examples. I would like to just mention another finite dimensional example. This is an example coming from the Euler equation in rigid body dynamics. So suppose that we have a rotating rigid body whose coordinates of the angular velocity. Sorry? Yes, yes, yes, sorry. I'm going fast because I intended to denote X3 as theta. Thank you very much. Yes, so it's essentially like here. Yes, yes, so essentially it's a kind of a system with three differential, ordinary differential equations with quadratic right-hand side plus some controls actions which are stay in some two-dimensional space. So this is another example of underactuated system in three-dimensional states with two controls. And you see that there are red terms here in the sense that if you try to use linearization at the region, they would cancel, and you cannot conclude about controllability of this system. You may also think about, I would say, more general class of system which is strongly related to this course in the sense that if you write the Euler on Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible liquid, say, on a two-dimensional torus for simplicity in periodic boundary conditions, then this kind of equation essentially possesses this kind of also quadratic right-hand side and also the linearization doesn't give any information about, I would say, controllability of this system. We may also consider just the case when the viscosity is identically zero, so just think about Euler equation and fluid dynamics as a kind of infinite-dimensional version of finite-dimensional Euler equation in rigid-body dynamics. And I would like to consider the problem about making those systems asymptotically stable in the sense of Lyapunov. More precisely, suppose that we are in the context of finite-dimensional control theory in the sense that we have a system which is controller-fine, but it has drift. This system is denoted by sigma. We will assume that zero is an element of D of domain D and assume that the drift term vanishes at zero, so that there is always a zero equilibrium of the system with zero controls. And we assume that the system is undirected in the sense that the number of controls is strictly less than the number of inputs. A fundamental problem to be studied for system sigma is the problem of stabilization shown here. So this problem is as follows. Our goal is to find a continuous map from D to RM, or more specifically to U if we denote the set of controls, the set of control values by U. In our case, it is just RM, but in this case, so we assume that this function is continuous in D. We assume that it is zero at zero, such that if you substitute the control U as a function k of x into the right-hand side of the system, it would have asymptotically stable zero solution in the sense of a Lyapunov. Such that the solution x equals zero of the closed-loop system, x dot f of x, x would be asymptotically stable. This is our goal. And suppose if we are able to find such a function, we may denote the right-hand side of the corresponding autonomous differential equation as f capital of x. What are fundamental challenges here? Of course, there are many publications in this area, and it's hardly possible to mention all, I would say, significant contributions. Some of them are summarized here. An important fact is that there is a necessary and sufficient description of stabilizability property, but this is definitely not enough for all those problems that I mentioned previously. I would like to give some hints for people from different backgrounds, what is going on there. So of course, what does it mean? Stability in the sense of Lyapunov. It's, I think that this is clear. Maybe I can give the definition, maybe I'm not. What is the suggestion? Okay, everybody knows what is a stability. I mean asymptotic stability. Asymptotic stability of x, x, y, zero. I would say let it, this system be star. And another ingredient that in order to characterize this condition, we may use Lyapunov functions, but in control theory, there is a well-known term called control Lyapunov function. And I would like just to introduce the term control Lyapunov function to claim that control Lyapunov function do not exist for the example that I consider. And we have considered another kind of approach to the stabilization problem. So a function of class C1, v of class C1, control Lyapunov function for system sigma. So sigma is our control affine system. If the two properties are satisfied, the first property that v of x is positive definite in the standard v at zero at zero. And v of x is positive whenever x is in minus zero. And the second is that if we consider this kind of expression like the time derivative with respect to the control system, but the control is up to now three in control system sigma. If we consider inf with respect to all set of controls, that this function should be negative definite. Okay, in principle, you may consider any kind of control set capital U, but you may also consider RM as in a simple situation. So a control Lyapunov function is a function satisfying these two properties. And a fundamental result in this area is that this stabilization problem formulated in the previous board is solvable if and only if the existing control Lyapunov function. And I would like to show you that in many cases, like the ones considered as motivation for our talk, do not satisfy those conditions. So just to be precise, for this purpose, I would formulate Einstein's theorem. So this is a theorem due to the Einstein and it's essentially about equivalence. So system, I would say by a continuous, continuous. Back low, standing here. If and only if there exists a control Lyapunov function. In fact, it may be done infinitely different for even if the original system has just vector fields of class C1. The control Lyapunov function. And this is valid whenever the vector fields of our systems are of class C1 in D. And as I mentioned, it may always be guaranteed that there exists a C infinity, smoothed Lyapunov function because of Converse Lyapunov theorem due to your last code slide. So essentially this implication will have been from famous Converse Lyapunov function by Yaroslav Kurzweil's theorem where he used smooth Lyapunov functions for control systems with C1 vector fields. But why I am using this observation? Just because there is another description of stabilizable system which doesn't use control Lyapunov function but which uses the concept of topological degree for rotation of vector fields. For this purpose, I would like to recall you a famous another result by Krasnowski-Zabreiko. It goes as follows. So suppose that for this system star, we have asymptotic stability of the trivial equilibrium in the sense of Lyapunov. Then if stability is asymptotic, clearly zero is an isolated zero of function capital F. Then SF is continuous. So the original right-hand side is supposed to be of class at least C1 and the K of X is continuous. Then it means that a continuous map F of X has well-defined rotation on each epsilon sphere close to the region. So just to be clear, we may define the rotation of epsilon sphere. So epsilon sphere is defined usually as a set of all X such that the norm center at the zero, such that X is epsilon. And the rotation is an integer number defined by F on S epsilon. An integer number well-defined object which is invariant. So whenever F is continuous and F is non-zero on an epsilon sphere, we may define an integer number called rotation of F on epsilon sphere. And the Krasnosevsky-Zabreiko theorem, which is given in the famous book about geometric methods of non-linear analysis, say that for asymptotically stable systems of form star, this number is equal to minus one to the power N where N is a dimension of the state space. Of course you may ask how to compute, how to compute this kind of descriptions of asymptotically stable system, but there are many good formulas in this area. For instance, if we had just a planar system playing like with two variables X1 and X2, this rotation has a clear geometric meaning in the sense that if we just F and epsilon are like here with usual orientation, and if we just see how the vector which coordinates F of X1, X2, F of F2 of X1, X2 rotates here. So let it be some kind of angle. Then the rotation is just a number of whole rotation that vector F makes when the argument just rotates around epsilon sphere. So it's well known, but I'm just recalling these facts. And then in this case, rotation of F and epsilon is just an integral one over two pi. So the integral comes with epsilon sphere of DF, D phi. And by the way, if we may also complexify our situation to give some kind of nice computation in the sense that define Z is X1 plus I X2 and say phi is F1 plus I F2. Then this formula can be just considered as a logarithmic residual in the sense that this is one over two pi. The integral, the integral is epsilon. DZ, logarithm Z prime DZ. And a consequence of this fact is that if F of Z is a homogeneous function say of degree two, three, et cetera. So if it is non-linear system, then necessary conditions of Krasnowski type force and totic stability is not stabilizable. That's a motivation saying that it's not possible to expect, I would say, Lyapunov asymptotic stability from systems of the form. So equilibrium is not asymptotically stable for terms of the form Z dot say alpha times Z to the power Q whenever Q is not one. So say for systems with quadratic right-hand side because Krasnowski, I'm just giving this introduction to see that if you have a system with quadratic right-hand side or if you have some kind of small perturbation of the system, we may not achieve in many cases asymptotic stability in the sense of Lyapunov. By the way, this is not the main difficulty. So here you see some kind of picture where we have rotation equals one which corresponds to asymptotic stability. In some cases, rotation two, which doesn't correspond to asymptotic stability and some kind of, I would say, constant drift-dominated cases where we don't have asymptotic stability either. We may also deduce a famous necessary condition for stabilizability called broket necessary stabilizability condition in the sense that if it happens that the rotation of the vector field is non-zero, then, and if the right-hand side is continuous, then there is always zero of the right-hand side inside the ball. So just a simple application of this area, we arrive to the well-known broket necessary stabilizability condition in the sense that if the original system sigma would be stabilizable, then the map corresponding to the right-hand side is locally unto. So this is very important observation and I would like to convince you that this is not satisfied for, say, for this system and many other systems. So I would like just, again, repeat that we had this system of ordinary differential equations with controls and with drift lies in D, lies, say, in U, which is under our choices, just RM, F0 at zero is zero, M is undirected in our case. The right-hand side of this system is denoted by F of XU. And if this system sigma is stabilizable, so if this problem would be solvable, we have that the map F defined here, so this is just from D times U, RM is locally unto. But this is not the case of this example, you can easily see it. You can easily see that this is not the case of this example, so there is no hope to find such kind of continuous control dependent on the state only, such that we would have asymptotic stability of zero solution of the system. Okay, this is obvious, but I would like to repeat this very simple argumentation in the following sense, so if we are looking just for very local properties like stabilization of zero solution, then we may restrict ourself to the domain D being just kind of neighborhood of zero or some kind of domain containing of zero. In the sense that suppose that we consider D is a domain in R3 of this form, they were the angle theta is bounded by something like pi over three with minus and pi over three. And then you see that cosine of theta is clearly bigger than one half in D. And therefore, if we denote the right hand side of this control system as f of XU, and if this map f of XU would be onto, it means that, okay, so if f is onto, then for any say vector y with components y1, y2, y3 from R3, it would be possible to solve algebraic equation with respect to theta of the following form, f of XU, y is variable for any y. But you see that it is not the case, why? Because we see that cosine is bounded from zero in this domain. And if we just put, if it should be solvable for any y, we put just y1 equals to zero. And you see that if y1 equals to zero, then the first line would go to zero. It means that u1 has to be zero. And then the equation with y2 nonzero has no solution, okay? I mean the equation of this form. You see that this is not solvable. And therefore the map f of XU is not onto, not locally onto, and therefore the system of unicycle type of this form, which is a simple example of non-holonomic system, is not stabilizable by a state feedback law, by control, which depends on the state only. And of course, there are many more interesting examples. So I am just given just a few examples where some kind of more delicate structure happening. And of course, a famous bracket example, which was the first probably well-known example in this area, which is also a kind of canonical system in R3 with two controls. Here you also see that the map corresponding to f of XU is not locally onto. Also this kind of equation is not solvable in this particular situation. Therefore there is no hope to achieve stabilizability of this system. I already mentioned this unicycle example in this area. And I would like to convince you that this is not a kind of academic situation. It also happens very often in real life applications, like if we have the Euler equation together with orientation equations, like equations of motion of rotating satellites. It is also shown that this kind of equation do not corresponds to the right-hand side map, which is locally onto. Therefore, we should do somehow solve this problem. And we should solve this problem by using the usual assumption that the system is controllable. It was already given in the lecture by Professor Ragerich of the concept of controllability and notion of controllability. So a system is controllable if for any states X0, X1, there exists an open loop control. So a control depending on T, like a measurable function of T, such that the system has trajectory steering two points together. And we would be interested in the problem of looking for a control depending on the state, which gives asymptotic stability of zero solution in the sense of Lyapunov. I already mentioned that for this example, this is not possible. But as a simple survey in this area, this was the first part of my talk. So if the original system would be linearizable or linear, then it would be really the case. So from controllability, we could derive stabilizability even exponentially. But for nonlinear case, as it follows from the simple examples like unicycle, and for many other delicate examples, like Euler equations, it is not the case. Even if we had controllability condition in terms of leap brackets, and even if the system was driftless, then it is not the case. We are not able to achieve this kind of stabilizability. Therefore, as we are interested in stabilizing system, we should somehow change this approach. And we would like to change this approach by using time-varion controls with fast oscillating functions. And therefore, just a pre-condition for this construction, I am citing general result by Jean-Michel Cohen just to convince you that we are somehow on the right direction, and we are somehow in the direction which requires constructions of controls. In the sense that despite the negative result that I was showing you previously, there are at least two general positive results. First result is due to Jean-Michel Cohen stating that if we had a general control system, such that it is small-time, locally controllable at zero, but also some regularity assumption that the right-hand side is smooth and the Lie algebra run condition is satisfied naturally at zero, then there exists a smooth time-varion feedback law. So if we just change our formulation to control-dependent on the state from the pure state feedback law to the control-dependent on both state and control situation could improve. But the main problem is that the current theorem is not constructive. Its proof depends on Whitney embedding theorem and it doesn't allow to construct control functions for any given system. We would like to propose some kind of constructive approach to Jean-Michel theorem, of course under some additional assumptions. And to be honest, there is also another approach that if we try to avoid, I would say continuous controllers, but if we use some kind of discontinuous controls, then it's also somehow possible to stabilize the system. But the problem is that in this case, we have to define solutions to the systems with control, not in the sense of Philippov, like it is well-known discontinuous, in discontinuous theory of differential equation with discontinuous right-hand side, but in the sense of pi trajectory, so pi epsilon solution, which is heavily based on this concept of partition and sampling. I would like just to give an idea of this construction because we also somehow use it in some of our constructions. Okay, so in this slide, you essentially see some kind of ingredients which are looking natural, essentially after several talks in this school. So we start just from fixing an epsilon bigger than zero, some positive number, and just trying to split time intervals into subintervals of length epsilon. Okay, we produce this kind of partition, and therefore if we have a feedback, so the control U depending on time and X, it is called feedback, and if we have a sampling, so if we have division of this interval into epsilon intervals, the epsilon solution starting from X zero is defined as solution to these systems of ordinary differential equations where the measurement of the states is fixed at left interval of each segment of this partition. So we just have X zero and start the solution, arrive to X epsilon, substitute X epsilon into the expression of the controls, and then repeat this process. Thus obtain solution is called P epsilon solution of the system. And this is essentially what is done in a Clarkley-Deiv and Zontoch-Subbotian theorem, they also used H independent of T. We may also use H dependent on T as the definition becomes the same. Okay, and now we are in a position to state the main problem after those sequence of negative results stated in the first part of my talk. The problem goes as follows. We have a control system with drift, control of fine. Our goal is just to construct a sequence of time variant controls of the form C such that zero solution would be asymptotically or even exponentially stable of the system. And we would like also those coefficients of those expansions to be, I would say, good functions in the standard, they are at least piecewise smooth and they are continuous at zero. Okay, that's minimality requirement from our side. Of course, we would also require that all those functions are real. And the goal is just to compute this stuff. It is clear that because of current theorem, this kind of function, periodic function should exist. If asymptotic stability property is a kind of rough property, we can perturb system a little bit and perturb controls. Therefore, we can truncate for your series and therefore it's definitely existing. But the main problem, how to compute those coefficients, how to compute those expansions. And the simple idea here is just to use tools from geometric control theory, from non-linear control theory, in the sense that there should be definitely some relation between expansions of solutions with, I would say, complex exponential or periodic functions with sine and cosine, if you like, and controllability properties. The simplest relation is shown in this slide. It was already visible after the lecture by Professor Ragrachov and these kind of properties already have numerous applications in different control problems, varying from motion planning to optimal control, et cetera. And I would like to give some kind of, first of all, this particular viewpoint, just if we have system without drift, we substitute two controls like sine and cosine functions and compute solution to the system. We get a very nice expression in terms of solution over a time interval from zero to epsilon, moves to direction of the leap brackets of the vector fields plus some high-order term. And this expansion is indeed a kind of, I would say, very particular situation in the sense that if we have just system sigma, and if we try, say, to have a look on observable of this system, where there is a function h. So assume that h is a kind of good function to some, say, rk. And if we define differential operators like if we have function h, we may differentiate function h with respect to direction of any vector field fj. We're done as d. And then, of course, the leap bracket is written already here. Then we may also formally write the leap bracket of any vector fields in terms of this directional derivative as Lf1f2 minus Lf2f1. It is already shown here. And just the conclusion how to obtain this formula and how to obtain many results in, I would say, our computation and any other computation is just to use chain fleece expansions of solutions with, I would say, time varying controls. I am using the terminology chain fleece expansion, but, of course, this is almost the same as saying that this is a Volterra expansion. And in the lecture by Professor Agarachov, it was considered as a kind of Taylor series expansion for time varying control, time varying vector fields. But I'm using this terminology chain fleece because of the book by, at least the book of Neymeyer, Neymeyer's understaffed, a good exposition. So the idea goes as follows. So if you're interested to have a look on the observable at time t, so let we have a control u, which is, of course, say L infinity for our control system. And here, in just very simple situation, we may consider that this is, of course, cn plus one in d. Then we may get this kind of h of x0 plus this kind of expansion like it goes from one to 10. It goes like one. And here we get some kind of iterated like Lf1. So this is an iterated directional derivative of h times the term depending on time. g1, g2 up to g nu, depending on t. And this term is essentially an iterated integral of this time. E, and a very important fact that there is, of course, the remainder of this series expansion, r of t, which is valid formally from zero to t. And the remainder of this expansion admits kind of estimator. This is capital O from t to the power n minus one to u, and I would go, I would be even better write it in this form. So this is, as we consider, system with drift. So this would be maximum from one and L infinity norm to the power n plus one. Yes. Sorry? Ah, okay, you, sorry. Yes, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yeah, this is you. You're totally right. Yeah, so this is a kind of well-known expansion, and our goal is just to play with this expansion and a very special choice of control and try to get some kind of results which are helpful for us in establishing exponential stability property with this family of controls. I would like just to present, first of all, a kind of general construction for control system which has no drift. So it will be called sigma zero. F zero is just identically zero here. And we assume the simplest possible controllability condition in this case, like the vector fields itself together with the set of their first-order leap brackets, together give the whole n-dimensional space, the whole tangent space to our state space. Here are just notation like if S is a set of couple of elements, JL, encoding the leap bracket that we have to take into account. In addition to m original control vector fields, we have to take n minus m elements of S, so m plus cardinality of S is n, such that all together we have at point zero this kind of breaker generating condition. And this is what is known as step two breaker generating condition in the sense that at step one we take just the vector fields F, and step two we just add the mutual vector fields. And for simplicity, we assume for this construction that condition be satisfied, so therefore this because of Chow-Roshevsky theorem of course give us controllability condition of system. And as a good representation of this controllability condition, we can mention already defined unicycle example and also broket example, and also many other interesting example are fitting into this formulation. And now the next step is just we may use a very explicit and elegant representation of controls, so we have a kind of controls, Ui depending on epsilon parameter to be defined later on depending on T through these trigonometric functions and depending on the state because we would like to substitute functions Vi and ajl into this expansion as functions of X, and then after some computation conclude about stability or even exponential stability of the closed loop system. So here we see exact parameterization of controls called C, and now the goal is just to see what is really going on, how we can prove exponential stability in this case. Okay, yes, you see that there are some kind of frequency multipliers here, we should also be careful about that, but from now you see parameterization and I would like to mention that delta's are just chronicle symbols in this notation, and our goal is to define it as just to specify Vi and ajl as a function of X to claim that this is really time-varying feedback control. And to make the construction, I would like to present you a kind of illustration what is going on here in this construction, it goes as follows. Originally we had this kind of system without drift as a model of non-cholonomic system in the sense that if we have a kind of wheel with rolling without slipping condition, it's not possible to steer the wheel perpendicular to its direction. But on the other hand, we already know that because of bracket generating condition, we have some number of lee brackets which give us additional direction in this illustration, they corresponds to probability of this, they corresponds to possibility of this motion perpendicular to the plane, and this is roughly speaking, what is done usually in omniview devices like it is done outside robotics. And then for this extended system, the only problem is how to implement this artificial controls you bar. And those artificial controls you bar are doing by fast oscillation controls in the original system one. So this is a kind of idea what is going on there. We would like to take any, I would say positive definite quadratic form as a Lepunov function candidate for extended system, then do control design here, but knowing that you, JL, do not exist in the original system, we would like somehow to approximate them by using fast oscillation controls shown previously. And now the construction goes on this slide. Okay, the idea is very clear, so the idea was already explained in the sense of extended system, and I would like to give just a couple more comments about this construction in the following way. You saw that controls are parameterized by functions A and V. Those parametrizations are computing by solving the system of algebraic equation sigma A. So once you fix an arbitrary quadratic form, I would say any positive definite function V, you may compute its gradient and consider this system sigma A as a system of N algebraic equation with respect to N unknowns. And I would like to claim later on that the system is always solvable. And the other assumption that we keep in mind is that there were also some kind of integer frequency multipliers in the formulas for the control in the previous slide. We assume that there are no resonances between these numbers, so the magnitudes of distinct, the magnitudes of those numbers with different numbers are mutually distinct. It means that there are no second order resonances in terms of, I would say, usual terminology in non-linear oscillation theory. And the design goes as follows. Once we have this kind of expression, okay, we may take just, we may just an output as an identical map. And we would like to achieve the goal so that if we start from any point x0, and if we evaluate the Loponov function candidate at x0, we would like to achieve the following. So we would like to go from x0 minus the gradient of v alone x0 plus some kind of higher order terms, I would like to. And this expansion is essentially obtained from this, I would say, chain-free series number three. And the controls obtained this kind of chain-free system. There are some kind of technical formalities here, but at the end of the day, the idea is clear. And all together we come to the first result in our series of results. It goes as follows. So suppose that we have a C2 function, v, such that we can solve with the gradient of v, the system of algebraic equation shown previously, and that its solutions depending on each point x and depending on parameter epsilon admit this kind of asymptotics for small x and for small epsilon. Then the conclusion is that there exists a ball in the state space inside domain D, such that for any small enough epsilon, the solution converts exponentially to zero. Okay, that's our result in this area. And the construction of controls was already shown on the slide. Of course, there should be two points answered here. First of all, the system of algebraic equation is solvable, and second, do we always guarantee that this kind of asymptotics is satisfied for solutions for algebraic equations? No, I would like, I consider, well, sorry for using naively this terminology algebraic, but this is really algebraic. This is quadratic equations with respect to a and v. Okay, okay, sorry, it's not important that vector fields are polynomial. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. System of quadratic equations, essentially. And we have higher order brackets, we have higher order equation, actually. If we had higher order brackets, we had higher order algebraic equations. Okay, this is the first result, and I would like to claim that this system is always solvable. I am using this kind of non-zero rotation principle to conclude that the system of quadratic equation is solvable, so the implicit function theorem is not directly applyable just because we have quadratic equation. If we linearize it at the origin, we get, I would say, singular, I would say linearization. So therefore, we use some kind of clever formulation of this system, and applications of principle of non-zero rotation, and we are good enough in saying that the asymptotics of these roots is square root of X over square root of epsilon, and all together if we plug it to the requirements of previous theorem, we arrive to this result that whenever we have system satisfying step two breaker generating condition, our procedure works in the sense that the system is solvable and the obtained controllers achieve exponential stability of the equilibrium. That's what we have, and I would like to stress out the idea behind that is that there is no Lyapunov function for the original system as I've shown previously. We have to proceed somehow like a stroboscopic map and the same that we are going to step intervals proportional to epsilon to decrease the value for Lyapunov function V in this way by using oscillating control, and therefore from this representation from plane accurately with smallness of epsilon and other requirements, we get exponential contraction to zero. This works perfectly for model examples like broket example, so you see that we have just two vector fields and this first orderly bracket is enough to span the whole tangent space, and then if we solve the given system of algebraic equation, it just reduced to one algebraic equation, and solution is very simple. We have this explicit parameterization and just plug those functions as coefficients of trigonometric polynomials and conclude about exponential stability. It also looks perfectly good with numerical simulation, also with parameters epsilon which are not small enough, I would say. Our result is that there exist some small epsilon such that we have exponential convergence, but numerical simulation confirmed that is also doable, I would say, with some numbers which are not usually treated as small numbers. Okay, this is naturally extendable to other systems like unicycle and this is naturally extendable to higher degree non-horonomic system when we have to take into account iteratedly brackets. There are examples in this area, but expansion becomes huge. Of course, we have to generate iteratedly brackets here, but at the end of the day, we also arrive to system of algebraic equation, so everything depends on algebraic equation of order three in this case. We can solve it and we can also integrate to convince that it also goes numerically, but this is not the main message of my talk. The main message of my talk is that this scheme also applies to a class of system with drift. I mentioned the Euler equation in such a way that this is a good motivation to extend this method for systems with drift in the standard. Suppose that we have also F zero, which is non-zero, and suppose that we have this kind of rather general controllability condition. Okay, this is step three, but anyway, you see that this kind of goodly brackets are appearing here. This is enough to conclude about small time controllability at zero here. We use also sets of indices corresponding to, I would say, literatedly brackets and literatedly brackets with zero. And then our second result in this area, second in the standard, it is related to drift systems with drift is as follows. If we have some kind of technical assumptions based on smallness of these kind of brackets, I would say that if the right-hand side of our system F zero is quadratic and the control vector fields are constant, it's satisfied naturally, it's satisfied for the Euler equation. And then we can do also some kind of control design with cosine functions like here. And just for this particular assumption, we can just put our analysis to matrix inversion of the matrix composed with these vector fields. And then I would like to show you four-digit body. And just in a couple of minutes, I would show you. Yes, yes, yes, okay. This is just three-dimensional, but we can also do six. Okay, for three, it goes very simple. You see that this is very good to define. You can solve it by hands and you can compare some kind of simulations with, I would say, previous results in this area. And in concluding part of my talk, I would like just to touch a very interesting question which is far from being solved and which is inspired by the work by Agarachov-Sarachev and other people working in this area. I mentioned Euler equation in fluid dynamics, and not occasionally, but because once we are successful in solving stabilization problem for rigid body dynamics, Euler equation, then we will try to solve the similar problem for Galerkin approximation of the Euler equation in fluid mechanics. And up to now, I've just to show you very academic and very preliminary results in this area where we have a two-dimensional flow on a torus. This is a very standard scheme already done in many publications. So a Galerkin equation for this system is a system of ordinary differential equation written as gamma here. So everything comes from the derivation you point in this paper and in other books. And we are interested in just looking for a very specific case. The Brecke generating condition doesn't depend on viscosity up to in our knowledge. We just try to cancel this term, consider the Euler equation, and ask is it possible to stabilize the system by using time-variant controls. And we can rewrite the previous complex notation in some real variables. So this is just x is real variable. I would not touch the whole derivation, of course, but I may do so. And from the simplicity point, we just consider also steps three, Brecke generating condition. This is the easiest case that we can do, but we can do it. Okay, so what do we have here? We have here M control vector fields and we have some kind of iterated brackets with F zero. It was done in these works. And we denote the set of indices corresponding to the vector fields and iterated brackets as one and as two of this form, the structure. And we assume that all those together are enough to have controllability condition in this form B three. Step three, Brecke generating condition. And of course, there are some illustration that it somehow correspond to the idea that we control low frequency modes or big high dimensional system. And after Brecke, I think we also have access to high frequency mode, which is, which would be related to cascade but I would not touch it in this situation. We are mostly concentrated on order equation without viscosity and just very simple situation. And the control design also goes very similar to previous cases that the controllers are decomposed as a sum of two components. We control the vector fields, I would say the original vector fields with auto-stilating and plus we use faster oscillating controls with cosine functions and with this parameterization by using access to iterated liberated. And at the end of the day, we arrive to a system of algebraic equation of this form. If we have a positive definite quadratic form, we can compute its gradient, we can get transposed, we can compute it and we can inverse the met, this, I would say we can solve it with respect to AJ here. And finally, we arrive to the following proposition. So if we use our controls with frequency multipliers, KJ, assuming that there are no resonances of order up to three, and if epsilon parameter is small enough, then just for this very specific situation where the drift is quadratic and the control vector fields are constant, we get asymptotic stability of zero provided that epsilon is small enough. And for this, I would say formulation, we may produce a kind of naive examples, like if we have the Fourier system, we write it in real coordinates. If we have say eight real coordinates and four controls, they are already very simple, I would say illustration that we can control a dimensional system by using four controls with iteratedly bracket of this form, and we can even write them explicitly in this form. And assuming that there are no resonances in this frequency multipliers of order three, we can get asymptotic stability of zero solution. And I see that the time is going to the conclusion, I understand that this work is far from being totally complete in the sense that in order to deal, I would say, multidimensional or even infinite dimensional for the equation, we also have to iterate this procedure. As it was done with least saturate and this inductive procedure. Unfortunately, in order to come to attractable computational approach, we have to compute too many, I would say, lead brackets and huge expansions. Say, I can just give brief results results that if we say write it formally as we have set of words of length one, three, five, et cetera, corresponding to iterations of brackets with this formula, then we may also think about our dream of using controllers as a sum of components corresponding to controls of brackets of length one, three, five, et cetera, what orders. And inductively say, if we have some kind of scales like for this relatively simple example, like we would like to control the five orderly, fifth orderly bracket, we would like to have, I'd say, three time scales. The first time scale epsilon corresponds to the usual requirement that we are increasing our kind of Lyapunov functions over step epsilon. And then we have a couple of fast and slow epsilon parameters so that we generate intermediate lead brackets by using fast frequencies and then generator would say five orderly bracket by using slow parameters. And then for this particular situation, they are related as squares in this situation. And in order to compute the whole expansion for five orderly bracket and say for three vector fields, like in this situation, we have to compute 1,024 iterated integrals of order five and in Maple it takes more than one day, something like that, but at least it's doable in some situations, so at least it's doable in this situation. So I should conclude, so some technical formalities can be found here. Thank you very much for your attention.

Hello everyone, welcome to the TSE weekly call. As you all know, I'm sure we have, you must be aware of the antitrust policy and the code of conduct as a condition to participate in these meetings. This is all to keep us out of travel. So, as I said, we have a fairly light agenda. As I said in my email, but we'll see how much it takes to get through this. So let's first start with a couple of announcements. The first one is the weekly developer newsletter that I'm sure you're all aware of by now, it should be. And then I just wanted to highlight the TSE election that started. And so in the nomination period is open. I saw several people have already made it themselves or some of their colleagues and so. So, Yeah, get to it. The game is on. And the nomination period ends what is September 19, if I remember correctly. I'm sorry, what September one. Yes, it's number 17 is when nominations close. So you haven't held it. Still have time to think about it if you're on the fence. But I hope to see everybody back. We already know that two of our colleagues are not going to be here again. So there's anyway some room for new blood, which you know, I look forward to seeing it's always good to get new people on board. All right, with that done, let's go through. Well, is there any other announcements anybody wants to make first. See any hands raising. I'm not. All right. Let's get to the quarterly reports. So we still have the grid and transact reports. And in addition, we got the chelo report that was added this week. Thank you for submitting this. I don't think there is any issues that discussing now but this is your chance to tell me otherwise. Is there anything anybody wants to discuss on those reports. I guess not. All right, and Hey, yeah. So on this cellar right so that was a newly added report so I just wanted to confirm it from the cellar team, if the new labs proposal team did they reach out to sell. I remember there were comments on the labs proposal where they already had fabric operators available and so I had a roadmap of supporting 2.2 LTS release. And there was a suggestion maybe there is collaboration possible, and they could just reuse some of the content from here. Okay, so thanks for bringing that up I mean as far as I know, there's two or so ideas from you. That's what you're referring to in the labs team. I mean they don't necessarily get involved beyond commenting on the proposal for one highlight this kind of opportunity for collaboration. Maybe it's my bad but I usually leave it to them to decide whether to do so or not. So I haven't done anything beyond that. But I suppose it's a good opportunity to ask the cellar team more power in this case, if they are aware of this lab and maybe they can have a look into it. I know this lab, but I don't have the chance to look into the details this lab project. Okay. Yeah. And I know there are quite a few of those. These operators in the works and so I, I know that when the lab was proposed I also pointed out all the possible connection. So, when we have this, I mean, there is no rule preventing labs from overlapping with another. So that alone is not, you know, recent for the steward to say no, sorry, you can't do this. But we definitely, you know, try to highlight the points of connections overlap so to encourage collaboration as much as possible. A quick question to also any special reason you highlight this operator lab. Yeah, I saw in the report that you have a roadmap of supporting to the authorities release and I also had seen similar status for the previous quarterly report. So probably I felt like reusing some of this code called speed up this effort. Okay, I see. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, if you look at the thread of comments on the on the lab proposal. I had pointed out that in cello there is an operator. And so it would make sense to put them to look into it they say well, it seems like the chill operator is kind of far behind. It's it's old and outdated. And I say okay that's possible but then maybe you should work with them to maybe have cello project, you know, upgrade their operator by using yours if yours is newer and better. And so that's one thing you could look into power. So, you know, in the previous release or channel there's another implementation to support the coolness. And our new release plan. There is no such kind of feature maybe we can reach the operator team to see if it's possible to integrate their coolness support into the channel project. Okay. Yep. Okay, anything else. All right, well thank you for the discussion. All right, so I think that's it for the reports then I still haven't heard from Silas on borrow, I'm sorry to say, so we'll probably have to ping him again, usually is good at responding to say, Oh sorry I don't have time right now but I'll get to it. I didn't get any response. Well, I am not sure what to think, but we'll see. Maybe he's so swamped that he can even tell me he's swamped. Hey Arnaud, I have a call with Casey coming up next week so and I did ask him to, to get back to you. So, all right, I'll chase. Yeah, I'll chase that down for you. Yep. Thank you. If you have the opportunity that'd be great. Thanks. All right, so let's move on now to the discussion. I mean, as I said the main discussion item for today's agenda is this issue that was raised when we were talking about the, you know, what should be taken into consideration for entering incubation. And it's part of the discussion I triggered some thought that maybe some of the exit criteria from incubation could also use a little bit of an update. And so Arun started this, and some of us discussed and commented on what he had put together and I think I didn't have time to read through the details but I understand Arun you made some updates just before the call. So what are you working through? What's the status? Right. So what I, and thanks Tracy for pointing out in detail and giving all those pointers. And there were two major comments on this page. And one of them was on the checklist to be prepared and Tracy pointed out, hey we already have a checklist for that community architects follow in case of a release. And the other comment that you pointed out was, hey, in this case, all we need to do is just add this one line over there saying that the project should meet criteria for one of the things that we should add is the repository structure. Thanks Tracy for pointing that section in the TSH charter, we probably will add this in the, in the case. Yeah, just a concern or a question from my end would be, we are not specifying any timelines over here for repository structure. So I believe when we prepare the checklist we probably could also come up with timelines for each of those checklist items. Yes. So I have to say I don't quite understand that idea because I mean the checklist it's like well they must all be checked to qualify to exit incubation. So these, you know, there's there's no timeline per se because it's like well either you can check the box, or you cannot apply for to to exit incubation. Tracy. Yeah, I agree with that. I think the other comment that I had related to this was that the checklist that I had put together with those four kind of items was just a here's some ideas off the top of my head I don't know if it's complete or not. So we may want to think whether or not there's other things that we want to add that need to be completed when a project graduates but I. Obviously we've done this what six times already or something like that so. And I know that the Hyperledger staff is is really good at making sure that people recognize that things have moved from incubation to graduate it so. Yeah, really I think it's right I think in my checklist most of the items right fell for the community architects or for the PR group so I don't know if there's anything else that we, we want to include in that checklist but that's, I guess the only thing I wanted to add. All right, thanks. Does that make sense. So from that point of view, I mean, all we should be doing is. You know, see if there are check, check boxes that we want to add modify or possibly remove but I doubt that's the case. You know, from the list we have. And, you know, these are like, as far as I remember the executor is just like, yeah, you must have those things. This is, you know, don't even bother applying if you don't have all these boxes checked. Yes, hot. Yeah, so I just wanted to comment that I think this is in a lot better shape I think we're doing pretty well that here and this isn't a lot better shape than the move to incubation in the first place. So one of our projects that have requested a move to exit incubation, you know, have sort of known what was going on. It's been a very streamlined process. It's gotten it and it's, it's there, there hasn't been a lot of friction in the process, or any sort of misunderstandings, like there have been for proposals for getting into incubation. So I think this is in much better shape than that. Yeah, I think there's one case that didn't go through its explorer. Right, and we've said, well, oh, you're right. I'm sorry. You don't need the diversity requirement. And they fairly recently said they were talking about possibly applying again. But I haven't seen anything happening yet. So, I don't know if there's still something they're considering a lot. But I think we're going to continue with their characterization situation, and I think we obviously work quite a bit on this in the past, and it shows. And like you said, and like entering incubation where basically we have nothing here we have a pretty decent least we for those who are new and haven't worked on this, I can tell you we, we've had a lot of discussions in the past as to how trying to make those as objective as possible. And we recognize that we couldn't have it completely objective there were some cases like, you know, the diversity criteria and so on that still could be you know, it's not completely objective, but for the most part, I think they are. And people have been, I agree with what heart says is like people seem to have a pretty good understanding of what's expected when they look into it. I propose we go through your list here and discuss one by one whether you know there's something we agree to do or not. That makes sense. Right, it's realized that I should not have added following statement, it should rather be just. Yeah, I missed that following statement. And it raises comment on the comment section that needs to be copied under that. So the first section is just introducing common depository structure. As I said this was brought up during entry considerations discussion. And the reason it was probably brought out was it was never documented in exit criteria. So we just introduced the plus infrastructure saying that you should meet this for you to consider exit from incubation. Okay. Does anybody disagree with that. Basically we're saying we should add to the criteria that people should be compliant with the common repository structure. Okay, so soon for now at least that they really agrees with doing that. Let's go to the next one. The fact that it's in first structure section or not this kind of a detail is almost a tutorial as far as I'm concerned but it seems like this is a good place to have it. I mean we already did to talk as has been pointed out that you know we already talked about some of the files that are expected to be found so it's only logical to add to this, the reference to the common repository structure. So let's go to the next point then. So, what is this about. Can you expand on what you're thinking is here. So, I mean my idea during when we were discussing incubation entry considerations there was a section where we said it would be good if we have a checklist where somebody can consider going through them and know whether they're accepted or not. There was also a thought flowing around saying that we have something similar for exit considerations. And that's when this item was brought in, and these points that you see were added by Tracy probably I'm like Tracy kitchen as well. Okay, but so now we actually this is more for like a process slash implementation aspect right. In terms of the exit criteria themselves. There is nothing else that you suggest we add that is correct. Okay, so let me ask first, you know to the group is there anything else anybody thinks we need to add. I mean I wouldn't expect you to make that up. Now it's maybe something you have thought about a by the way, this is something we should. We should have. If not, it's probably means that you know you haven't thought about this and that's okay. All right so let's talk about this idea now. So I have to say I mean so the checklist again, we, if you look at the way. I wonder if we have the example like the last project to graduate I believe was in the areas. And they did a pretty good job at filling out the application and typically people have, you know, taken the list from the exit criteria, and literally, you know started from this, and responded. And, you know, information around those points explaining whether they, you know, sometimes with checkbox and some comments as to how they comply, or as they meet the criteria. So is there another checklist that you're thinking of, because there I see some my attempts to consider adding to a checklist. This is more again like that's not for the applicant right. This is kind of more to document what's supposed to happen when people graduate. Yeah, if someone else wants to drive. I can, someone else can like our know if you want to show what you're thinking of I can give it for you. I'm sorry, what are you asking me to do. We're talking about previous checklist and what about this and what about that and I don't know but we are we're on that checklist there. You were looking at it actually Tracy is a hand up, but we were fine that we do what you were showing Tracy. So just to clarify I think what the idea here is that currently we have a checklist for when a project enters incubation right the community architects follow a particular set of items they obviously need to make sure they're creating chat channels and mailing list and that PR is happening that we did this new thing right we added this new product hyper ledger. And so forth right. I think what a rune is asking here is for there to be a similar checklist when we have a project enter grad graduated state. Right so when a project goes into graduated state what are the steps that need to be taken. They're probably a lot less right because we don't need to do all the infrastructure type setup. From, from, you know, repos to mailing list to chat channels to whatever else needs to be created. But we do have to do some things and when I say we that's the royal we and mostly falling on hyper ledger staff members to complete the things that need to be done right down the same way as I think most of the stuff has to happen. And so that's why I think hyper ledger staff when a project enters incubation as well. I think from the TSC perspective it's very much a yay or nay right we vote to say whether or not something graduates her. Right. And then, after that we were kind of hands off. And so, I think the confusion here right is maybe, is it really the TSC is responsibility to state to the staff what they need to do when a project graduates or not. So that's, that's probably, I think probably what's causing some of the confusion that that you're asking about. I agree. I mean, thank you for explaining this this is exactly the point I was trying to drive to. So, you said it much better than I was trying to do. So thank you. But so, I would you agree with that characterization that Tracy just gave us. Right. I see it's pointed and probably we cannot. I'm sorry what I mean, yeah, I'm just trying to think if there was something else that the reason why I added this so. Okay, but this was during those conversations when we were having three considerations. And just keep a note of things that we said, hey, let us consider this as an amendment to execute right to the end state. So that's when I made a note of it. Right, so I think there's a distinction between I mean, for the entry considerations, we added at the end like this best practices kind of, they were more like hints for the applicants on things to do to increase their chances. Right. It was this idea is like, well, there are things we know from experience that help, you know, people succeed. And so, why don't we share this capture a few bullets of things that people might consider doing. If there's something equivalent there. I think that would make sense for us to, to add a section like this. I don't know of the top of my head that there are things we I would know what to put there but you know, it would be logical that we have something similar to what we put in the entry considerations. On the other end, to, to, you know, what you're talking about, specifically in that on your on that wiki page, the proposal right here is more, you know, what Tracy was talking about what the staff is expected to do and I mean so far, except for the election, which clearly is a case where we have a full documentation of what the staff is supposed to do and we just approve that and we are going through this now. They basically have to follow the, the, the set of instruction that have been agreed upon with certain times and so for the rest, I'm not aware of us having ever basically dictated how they do it. Or even if you don't want to make it sound so bad, more like just documenting. And maybe you could say well, I think it would be good to document what the staff is expected to do. You know, but this is a bit of a different exercise than, you know, revising the exit criteria per se. And if, if we were to stop doing this, I think this is, you know, pretty major undertaking that this is just a small portion of, of what we would have to document if we want to start documenting what the stuff is supposed to do. You know, you know, what are you supposed to do when what when like a whole bunch of events up. If this happens, the staff is supposed to do this, this and that. So, I agree and I see what you're trying to convey. And thanks Tracy for pointing that out. It doesn't make sense for us to add this class, the point number two in that case, and definitely we should not be doing it. So let me ask, I mean, does that make sense anybody wants to get into this. Yes, nobody's raising their hands so the answer is no. I mean, I don't know if maybe we have not come across any such case but maybe when there is a case where he can not do anything about this part from this but it is a must thing to be done for a project. And it's all in terms of it's a community architects or the staff, maybe that those things we can consider, but on top of my mind I cannot think of anything, any case like that as of now. All right. All right, so I think we saw this proposal is much more simple now. Basically, the it comes down to, you know, adding the section that Tracy has updated thank you for doing that Tracy. You know, regarding the, the, the strict the common repository structure. Is there anything else we should consider. So I would suggest you strike this section to now, then we can just, you know, approve the rest of the proposal. And, you know, if anybody feels that some point that we should get into documenting with the staff or community architects are supposed to do or expected to do. I think this should be addressed in a, you know, independently in a different as a different item. I mean, I don't think we need to necessarily tell the staff what to do. I think, sort of like the, the intuition behind this proposal is sort of, you know, you need to reach out to the staff, which I think is a good people, or sorry, which is a good thing to tell people, but, but I don't see any reason why we need to like, you know, tell the staff how they specifically have to handle stuff like this. And I don't know, I mean, we can ask the staff, we have several members here and then former members. I mean, I imagine you guys do have some kind of documentation for certain things you do just because for practical purposes. When you have to pass over some responsibility is kind of useful to say, hey, this is what you're supposed to do. You know, let me know if you have any questions. We have written this kind of stuff out, but I don't know that it needs to be published as part of official documentation for that matter. We do have internal checklists. I guess we can go to the. So we do have checklists that are in progress, etc. I think when you know fmr new project, all that we do have best practices for documented. We do have internal how to articles as well. So we do have documentation for this. All right. Perfect. That's, that's what I thought. So that's something that only the staff sees this right. I mean, we were showing. I don't think we have access to that. Yeah, that's a private space, a private space. And I mean, that's fine with me. I'm not trying to say there's anything wrong, but you give us a glimpse of something that we normally are not supposed to see as possible. I don't know that it's meant to be hidden per se, but just not designed to be public info. That's all. But what I do here is not super secret. And, you know, Tracy has done it all. So, it's just documentation for for us. I mean, it's not like, it's not rude. You know, we're not doing anything, you know, terrible. It's just documentation for us. Right. So, I mean, unless anybody wants them to start opening this up and start reviewing it, I think we can leave it alone. So, again, I suggest we, we update the current proposal. We move the section to and approve that. And then we can update the executive area accordingly and we can call it done. Does that sound like a plan? A rune does that work for you? Yes, so I just updated it. Maybe if you refresh it should reflect. There you go. Thank you. All right, so I propose we approve the proposal as currently edited. I could. Thank you. All right. So let's do a quick vote. Anybody agreeing? Say hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. All right. Anybody wants to propose? Yeah, anyone. Very good. Anybody wants to be marked as abstaining. All right, hearing none. This is your by approve. I created a PR for this already. So it's in the chat channel, please. At least two people approve it so we can. Perfect. Thank you, Tracy. Super fast. Very cool. All right, so. Back to the agenda. This was it. I was hoping we would be able to get that done fairly quickly. I, my wishes. You know, the full field. So, but is there anything else anybody wants to bring up now? I do want to point out again, as I pointed out her before, that we have other items in the backlog. Some of these, like the restructure of the greenhouse. I think we'll quickly soon be taken care of because the task force in child are doing this is completing its work. And so things like this will be easy to close. And so I think that's a good idea. Others are basically pending action from some people who said, and I run your name is on the top of my mind when I say that because, and it's not to, you know, point finger at you in particular, but, you know, I don't want to say that I don't want to say that I don't want to say that because you're one of the most active members. But we, we, I, we did some house cleaning a while ago. And I tried to close some of this and people said, oh, we shouldn't close this. I'll do this before we can move forward. And so those items are pending these actions to be taken. Otherwise they just sit there, which isn't the best. So I saw Daniel raising his hand first. I don't know if we're supposed to go to legal. Does anything move on that? Or do we just need to make the policy recommendation ourselves? This is a good question. When I saw it the other day, I was like, man, this thing. I mean, this is, I'll be honest to me, this is a failure from Brian Villendorf. He has the ball on this one. He asked, he said he would take care of it. Look and discuss it with legal. So we have been waiting for him to get back to us on this. And. Daniel now Brian not being here. I, I would suggest you bring it back to Brian and remind him that we'd like to have an update as to the status of this and, or if they have given up. Okay. I will, we'll get a status update for you by the next meeting, if not before. So I think we could do a proposal that would be compliant with whatever the lawyers come. If you were to talk about it, I think it's one that would satisfy most people, but. We need clarity on that for sure. We'll get that back to you. Yeah. I mean, I know if you have some idea that, you know, feel free to make a proposal that you think would, you know, Oh, I had three proposals in there, none of them come up for. Yes, I know. The one that I think. I'm sorry to head down. The one that I think has the most legs is to say that there must be a real name signing it. And that could be a maintainer and if a maintainer is signing it, knowing it's like terms two and three that has been suspended properly. And they put their real name on it. They know who the other person is and that should be acceptable. So that way. Anonymous people would only need to unmask basically to the maintainer and the maintainer then would need to take the liability of putting their real name on the signature. I think that's the best way to address it. If this is anonymous contributors, not willing to unmask the maintainer, then we can't accept their contribution. I think it's where it needs to go. That sounds reasonable to me. I mean, but I remember we had these discussions and so. I don't know. Let's wait to see what Brian says, but I think. I, you know, we should try to close this one way or another. So. Look for that to come back to the agenda once we heard back from Brian. I hope he doesn't stall us saying, I'll get back to you. All right. Thank you, Daniel for bringing that one up. Thank you. If there's any others that people feel, you know, strongly about. It'll be a good time to bring those back up. Anything you can do to resurrect the discussion, revive the discussion is good. Otherwise I think we should try and close these because it doesn't serve any purpose to have those things just stalling there. I don't know. Maybe Daniel, you still have your hand up. Is that just left over or. Okay. All right. So unless there is anything else anybody wants to bring up now. I'm happy to close the call early. Doesn't open that often. Nobody complains when we do. So I don't see any hands coming up. Calling once calling twice. All right. Okay. Thank you all for joining. And we'll talk again next week. Goodbye. Bye.

Howdy guys IndiePixel here, and I wanted to create another series here on how to use Houdini, but this time what I wanted to do what is I wanted to include the Houdini engine All right, and it's specifically for Unity because Houdini engine is different for Unity and Unreal In certain ways, I mean they're very similar in most ways, but it differs at certain points But anyways, what I wanted to do is I wanted to make this little mini course about You know, how do we go about creating a little grass field? All right, so what we're going to do throughout this series is we're going to Learn how to create these little grass clumps. All right, so each one of these little grass clumps is just a series of cards So if we actually look at the geometry, it's just a series of you know cards and All of this is generated inside of Houdini and you'll notice that we also automatically have all the LEDs for these Clumps. All right, and so I wanted to walk through the process of how we can go and create all of these Or all of this grass field here procedurally inside of Houdini and the Houdini engine for Unity. All right, and so that's what we're going to do. We're going to walk through this entire process So I'm going to take you from literally the beginning where we go and create a grass blade and Then we're going to go and create a grass clump and we're going to learn how to export all that stuff out of Houdini into Unity so we can create a prefab out of it And then we're going to learn how to utilize the Houdini engine so we can scatter that grass clump Throughout the entire terrain and in this case, we're just going to keep it in a small little sample cherry. Okay, so Lots to cover. I hope you guys really enjoyed this So let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to get back to you as fast as possible. Thanks so much. Bye

So I'm here from Lawrence systems and we're going to talk about free nas 11.3 you to update So if you don't learn more me more about me or my company over to Lawrence systems.com like to hire short project There's a hires button up at the top if you want to support this channel and other ways There's some affiliate links down below they get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel free nas. They've been busy busy bug fixing now It is not lost to me and I am aware that my drives has degraded. That's a story for another time When it's all resolved, maybe I'll do a video about it But you know drives fail raids not backup, but I trust CFS and the fact that you know This system keeps on working because just because one dry fails doesn't mean I lost all my data And I know raids not a backup and all my data is backed up back to free nas So this update doesn't represent a absolute Major amount of changes but more about fixes where do these fixes come from when people report them and report bugs And I want to start it out there because this version includes nearly combined 150 bug fixes updates and improvements some highlights and A version that glued the new version of samba fix a middleware memory leak Which I didn't see this problem, but glad they fixed it a mitigation for specific LSX iCards and a new version of samba now You can go in here and read through every detail And I don't have time to cover every little bug and a lot of them are just a lot of little bugs disc serial number field contains formatting error Autocomplete doesn't work for combo boxes and data set permissions Can't export pool can't export but can't import pool I didn't see this because they didn't have any failures to help me or any clients with it where we've had to re-import a pool But I'm really happy to see things like this fixed Animated icon causes laptop fan to run continues. I like the way it's worded the reality is This was interesting because the animated icon when you're doing like a replication task Was using too much CPU and yes, I did notice this on my laptop I'm like, why is that one browser tab using so much resources on my particular laptop and When I was watching replication tasks because well I was replicating all the data from this system and making sure the replication works for backup purposes And you know duplicating on another free NAS that we have here at the office So it worked fine, but it did pull a lot of CPU power in the browser So those are a lot of little fixes now a few people had asked me about this vliant interfaces Not displayed connecting in GL properties because I did the vliant video and I know there was a few YouTube comments on there I didn't see this problem particularly, but I know it existed and they did fix it So there's all the good reasons to update to this version. I didn't have any problems when I ran the update It didn't really cause me any drama on the few systems that I've got so far We're gonna be rolling it out probably over the weekend for some of the client ones But so far so good because it's just a lot of minor bug fixes It's generally a good update to load and shouldn't represent any major changes this particular bug I found quite annoying because I was working on a video in this this particular bug stopped me from doing my video I did see there was already a ticket open for this problem So I was gonna wait till the fix before I could do some new videos on extent I need to do some new getting started with free NAS videos And I was gonna cover exactly the snapshots But when the snapshots had some errors and I didn't I knew how to work around them And I didn't ever want to work around them in a video I wanted to make sure the bug was fixed. So existing snapshot tests we keep working But if you created new ones the defaults in the UI were giving this error because the when it would pass the data back to the middle Where some of it was invalid So there was ways like I said, there's work around so to speak But workarounds are a pain updates fix these problems. And once again, you can see the team over free NAS is Working fast at this and if you didn't know about their JIRA system You can go over here and dig through their JIRA issues and see anything So if you're having a problem, you can first see if the problem exists already Then you can see when it's targeted to be updated like when things are part of the unresolved Right now, so if there are bugs you could find them in here. That's one of the important things I like to remind people though bugs get fixed when people properly document make them Repeatable so they can understand what they are submit them to the developers And that's how this lifecycle works of process development It does not work by just going around and saying the software is garbage because it has a thing in it that You found that's a problem. I just bring it up because I get weird messages and emails of From people telling me that the software is garbage Because it doesn't have this or either sometimes because they didn't read the manual or sometimes they legit find a bug But if you really want in the open source community to be a participant in it This is why free NAS has public bug systems and they show you the progress the software it's all being developed in the open and I think they're doing a great job here of getting these updates out the 11.2 series represented quite a bit of changes the 11.3 is a little bit more incremental But they're really working towards and of course, there's the convergence all to the newer version where they merge the true NAS and their free NAS So they only have one code base to make their lives easier from a development Which I still think is a wonderful thing that they're doing there So as we inch towards that the work probably gonna see more updates from them And if you have bugs you're having problems. They do have a system like I said to submit to it I know I'm selling a broken record on that and repeating myself But it is this a really important aspect But so far everything works fine in it The Jails came back up and running the plugins seem to be working and I'll be working on some new videos with it now that That particular bug was really vexing me when Dealing with the creating periodic snapshots, but everything else seems to work even after I updated except did it yesterday Here are my snapshot tasks that are working. They are finishing fine. My replication tests are finished and working fine So everything so far no problems with the system and Replication to the other system work perfectly fine here, too So that's I wanted to wait 24 hours at least till it's gone through a full cycle of the little things that have to run on each of these servers And like I said, all of them seem to be working I even started updating my home server and that went fine too so far no problem That's the one that runs the steam box So I seem to have no problems these updates I do highly recommend them because of the number of minor bug fixes I think it's fairly important update With lower risk because it's not like a lot of changes made to the system in terms of new features being added This was really a focus on bug fixing Obviously just go in check for updates load the updates always have a backup before you do it read It's not a backup so back up your data back up all the configurations Which I do like that they when you go and do these updates it prompts you Hey, you should update you to download the latest config and back it up Yes, definitely follow and do that before you do this update. All right, and thanks And thank you for making it to the end of the video if you liked this video Please give it a thumbs up if you'd like to see more content from the channel hit the subscribe button and hit the bell icon If you like YouTube to notify you when new videos come out If you'd like to hire us head over to Lawrence systems calm fill out our contact page and Let us know what we can help you with and what projects you'd like us to work together on If you want to carry on the discussion head over to forums that Lawrence systems calm Where we can carry on the discussion about this video other videos or other tech topics in general even suggestions for new videos They're accepted right there on our forums, which are free Also, if you like to help the channel in other ways head over to our affiliate page We have a lot of great tech offers for you and once again, thanks for watching and see you next time

Exponential Growth (Bacteria Culture Doubles Every 40 Minutes)
|
In this video, we use exponential functions to model growth of quantities, specifically the model of exponential growth, sometimes called uninhibited growth. In this video, we use exponential growth to model population growth of a culture of bacteria which doubles every 40 minutes.
This is lecture 43 (part 4/5) of the lecture series offered by Dr. Andrew Misseldine for the course Math 1050 - College Algebra at Southern Utah University. A transcript of this lecture can be found at Dr. Misseldine's website or through his Google Drive at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xqDSiXHCU6deetS7McrXkDi6KozqAX5f/view
This lecture is based upon general college algebra curriculum and not based upon an individual textbook. With that said, this lecture series is influenced by many great college algebra textbook on the market, namely Sullivan's, Stewart's, OpenStax's, McKeague's, Stitz-Zeager's, and many others. Please post any questions you might have below in the comment field and Dr. Misseldine (or other commenters) can answer them for you. Please also subscribe for further updates.

Suppose a culture of bacteria starts with 10,000 bacteria inside that petri dish and the number doubles every 40 minutes. So we don't necessarily have the growth rate. What we know is how quickly it's doubling, right? Which gives us information. So the first question to ask ourselves here is can we find a formula, some model of the population for the population of this? I guess it's not really a question, it's a statement. You're being told to do it, it's really what it is, command. So find a formula for this population growth, right? And so there's a couple of ways you could approach it. So we've seen in the past that the populations can equal some initial population times e to the kt, right? But we don't know what the growth rate is. How does one actually compute the growth rate? So what we can do with the following. We know the initial population is 10,000, right? This e to the k times t, right? Now we also know that it doubles every 40 minutes. So if we measure time in, say, minutes, because this thing grows pretty rapidly, what we could say is 40 minutes later the population will be doubled. It's gonna be 20,000, right? And then we could solve for k in this situation. Divide both sides by 10,000, you're gonna get two is equal to e to the 40k, right? So notice that it actually doesn't matter what the initial population is. If we know it doubles every 40 minutes, if we have three bacteria, then it doubles, it would be six. If we take six divided by three, it's still two. So the growth rate doesn't actually depend on the population size in this situation, right? Cause we're growing, we're doubling every 40 minutes here. So then if we wanna keep on going to solve for k, we probably have to take the natural log of both sides, take the natural log of two, cause the natural log will cancel out the base e you have right there, you get 40k. And so therefore k is equal to the natural log of two divided by 40. Which if we estimate that, we get an estimate of, well, let's see, this would be 0.017333. I'm just using a calculator to help us out right here. In which case, then we could say that the growth rate of the model, I should say, will look something like p equals 10,000 times e to the, our growth rate k here, 0.0173332, right? But there's some things, there's some things that have to caution you about. First of all, some of us might be tempted to round, right? Because after all, that's a lot of decimal places to keep track of a lot of luggage to put in the plane, right? But when we start rounding, especially when we start rounding exponents, they can have a huge difference to the calculation. So it's kind of best that we keep things as exact as possible. But it turns out even if we keep all these decimal places, this is not the most exact answer. The most exact answer is this friend right here, right? K equals the natural log of two over 40. Now, I wanna show you something that's slightly different, which actually gives me kind of a more, a different model for the same growth right here that I think is more preferable in this situation. So I guess what I'm saying is if you wanna use a growth rate, I would try to keep it as the natural log of two over 40 as much as possible. Hesitate approximate until the very end. But on the other hand, if we took p equals p naught, e to the natural log of two over 40, e multiplied that by t, right? Well, let me show you a nice little trick here. So I'm not even gonna worry about what the initial population is. By exponent laws, right, I could factor the exponent as p naught, we're gonna get e times the natural log of two times t over 40, right? Just kind of refactoring things like that. But remember, when you have like a to the m to the n, if you have an exponent and an exponent, you multiply them together. This means that if you factor the exponents, you can actually break them up in a manner like this. So we can actually rewrite this thing as p naught times e to the natural log of two to the t over 40 right here. And so what you're gonna notice is that e to the natural log of two, these are inverse operations, the natural log of two is the power of e that gives you two. If I raise e to the power of e that gives you two, this is gonna equal two. And so this then simplifies to be p to the, p is equal to p naught times two to the t over 40. And so this right here is a much simpler form to use I think because it avoids a lot of the approximation. There's no ease that necessary here. And the way you wanna read this is that this number 40 right here, if we kind of erase it for a moment, we could call this our period. Okay, what do I mean by period? Well, if we know that the population doubles every period p, then we can calculate the population as the initial population times two to the t over p where that's the period and you can go for there. And again, this will lead to a lot easier calculations than this model over here, which is perfectly good. But like I said, this one's gonna be a little bit easier to use and we have far less rounding error I think than the previous model. So p equals our initial population was 10,000. And then it doubles, excuse me, it doubles t over 40. So it doubles every 40 minutes. So can we ask ourselves, okay, ask ourselves, what's the population after an hour, right? After one hour, what would the population be? Well, so we're basically asking what happens when t equals 60, okay? t equals 60. So we can look at the first model that we have, we have to compute p of 60. So we're gonna get 10,000 times e to the point zero one, seven, three, three times 60. And if you compute that exponent, you're gonna get e to the 1.0398 times that by 10,000, right? Raise e to the 1.0398 power. That'll give you approximately, so I'm just gonna write down the 10,000 again, you're gonna get approximately 2.8287. You wanna have a lot of decimal places because you're moving by, you're times it by 10,000 which is gonna move your decimal places over a bunch, right? And so then our estimate would look something like 28,287. That's our estimate of the population of bacteria after 60 minutes using the first model. On the other hand though, right? If we used our doubling model, which is honestly the one I kind of prefer personally, in that situation, we still have to compute p of 60. So we're gonna get 10,000 times two to the 60 power, right? And so that fraction actually simplifies to be three halves, three halves right there. So basic or 1.5 if you prefer, doesn't really matter. Basically what we're trying to say is we, time has elapsed one and a half periods, okay? So we have to take the square root of two and then cube it. And so if we consult our calculator, right? What are we gonna get in that situation? Well, whoops, sorry about that. We need to start off with the 10,000 and then we need to raise two to the 1.25 power. And I'm sorry, I can't really show you the calculator. I mean, I wish I could show you like what the calculator says right now, but you would get about 2.82847, you know, something like that. You notice it's really similar to the number we had over here. And so when you times it by 10,000, then just move the decimal places over a couple of spots, right? And so you're gonna end up with 28,200 and let's say 240, we'll round that up five, like so. And so this is the estimate. I'd say the one on the right is a little bit more reliable in terms, I think it has a little bit less error there. But honestly, both of them are kind of in a reasonable ballpark. We'd say about 28, you know, maybe like 2850. That seems like a pretty good estimate. 28,000, excuse me, 28,250, we'll say that. We'll say that's a pretty good estimate. You know, somewhere in that ballpark, 28,300, 28,200. We're only off by a couple tens of back to here. That's not gonna be a huge, huge error. And that's the thing is different models can give different predictions because they have some slightly different assumptions in them. They also may have slightly different error inside of them. It becomes more pertinent as you start studying models more and more to decide which one is more accurate, which one's more, well, has less error. And that oftentimes comes with your assumptions but also there are rounding errors for which calculators can usually avoid those considerations. And so we'd say there's somewhere close about 28,250 bacteria after 60 minutes of growth.

how is everybody? Good morning, everyone. We hope everybody's go ahead Betsy. No, no, I'm done. Hope everybody's doing well and the thunderstorms and tornadoes and all of that that have been going on across the United States here this week. Greg has rain right now. Do you have great rain? I do have rain right now. It was it was dry when Finn and I went out for a morning walk, but it was definitely overcast. It was so overcast that he let me sleep in an extra half hour. Oh, wow. That's a good thing. So the same storm system is coming through here, but fortunately for us, I hope that we're not going to see any bad stuff this afternoon. We don't get it till two or three. So the the heat of Ontario today, you know, the whole 10 degrees should, or I guess that's 50 degrees Fahrenheit. It won't it won't affect anybody. So we hope everybody's doing well. Had a couple of people talking about the storms in the chat this morning. So I wanted to acknowledge that we did have some bad weather around the world today. And fear fear delici is the very first person in the in the chat this morning. Yeah, they're talking about stuff. Wicked tree as has been in the background doing her stuff. But Anne is here D Spencer card down in Augusta, Georgia. Let's see. Hillary Gatsby is here from beautiful sunny. Maybe I don't know what the report was, but people always give us the weather in the morning. That's right. Murray Maloney is here. Audrey Martin. Yeah. Well, and we gave a weather report. So let's see as as is here. Wicked tree say said Guten tag as your Robinson says Bonjour, very sloppy. Hey, Mary. Oh, yeah, I love Mary. Yes, I do. We need to get together for dinner or lunch or whatever that was. Um, again, Lisa, your vase is here. Hey, Lisa, Lisa got a big deal coming up. She's taken over some of the social media responsibilities. Thank you. Yeah, we appreciate that. Because it helps this show go further in water. April. Dennis is here from Idaho. Watching the sun come up over sawtooth ridge. Yeah. Okay. Without all this can have that view. Northeast Ohio scattered showers here high 73 and feared or leasy. This is not the weather as you show. Let's see. Judith fries here. Biscuits to mags. That was wonderful and plus Jensen is here from interlocking. Yoke is here. Chris Ferrielo has also gotten a little something something orange for you, Chris. Now a team leader with the social media part of the ambassadors project. Congratulations on that. And for all the wonderful work you're going to do as well, Chris Ferrielo. Judy Stutz is here. Susan H. Aussie M. It's raining down in Queensland, Australia. Uh, David Dodd is here.

Erin Saltziak Robertson, Virginia Beach. Robert Cohen. Let's see. More biscuits, Mary Slutby. If we get together, we got to go for breakfast. Maybe we should just meet in the morning, have breakfast, get our computers out, then have lunch, keep our computers out, and have dinner. How about that? Oh, who am I missing here? Erin. I got Erin. Emily L. Aussie M. Got them up. Lynette Jester is here. Denver is here. Gerardus. Hello. And Kristen Anderson. If other people show up, if other people show up, hello, and we're glad you're here. And those who watch afterwards, too. And what? And those who watch afterwards. Oh, yes, yes. But I mean, if you show up, we say your name. That's true. You can't really say their name after the fact. Yes. Insert name here. No, say your name a lot in your head while you're doing it. You guys have anecdotes in your family. Do you have a little stories that are funny? I was thinking about this week. I'm sure my brother's the one to ask, because he just remembers a bunch of stories, and he's a great story to hear. Can you give him a call, please? Yeah, that's great. No, but I'll call in my lifeline, my brother, but I'm not going to call him now. What about you, Betsy Cove? I knew you were going to ask me. I couldn't come up with anything. The few times I did think about it. Sorry. I like Greg. I know there are some. They're in there somewhere. You know what? There's one I can think of, and it's top of mind because I just got a bunch of photos from my cousin. My aunt passed away a couple of weeks ago, and so now there's only one sibling left on that. My mother was the first one to pass away many years ago, but there was a story when my mom and dad were fairly young, and they went smell fishing at night with my uncle and aunt. But it's sort of not exactly legal, and they were chased by, it's not called a warden, the local officer. And so they took off into the ditch and going across country, and then eventually they didn't get captured or anything, but they came back pretty soaked and what not. And that was apparently my mom's first run-in with the law, and so they made a lot of fun about that. Where were they fishing for? Well, smelts or little fish. You can get them at night, and they're very tasty, but apparently when they were doing it, it was not an appropriate season or something for that. It's a Canadian thing? Yeah, okay. We've got lots of little creeks out. We don't call them cricks like you might in Appalachia. Cricks, yeah. Out in our back 40. Yeah. Well, we've got some some anecdotes that we can talk about. Let's see if my present comes up. It's absolutely not coming up. Thank you. I have no idea why that's wasn't working for me. All right, there we go. Question of the week. What's funny? Anecdote in your family? We had about 16 answers. Not a lot of answers, but lots of good stories, and there are some longer stories in here. I'm going to just shoot a couple of short stories, not short stories, but shorter anecdotes. There you go. An anecdote is a story that comes to a point. That's basically what it is. It has a point to it. So the anecdotes that we have, the very first one, 16 answers, 24 upvotes, Alexis Nelson. This is great. My first cousin once removed William William McGurk, and two other inmates constructed a makeshift 14 foot kayak using wood, plastic sheets, duct tape, and vermin. So they made this ship and they escaped from Sam Quinton prison. But what's funny is they made their craft in the lumber shop. Nobody figured out that they were making a kayak, and they put the words Rubba Dub Dub and Marin Yacht Club on it. A little camouflage while they're working in the shop in front of everybody. They snuck it from the prison and into the water and attempted to paddle away as guards looked on. They were just hanging out looking on. The craft was sound, but strong winds caused a giant swell to flood the boat, started to sink before they made it past the edge of the prison property at Sam Quinton. Fortunately for them, they were wearing sweatshirts and hats that had been painted bright orange with a loco of Marin Yacht Club. They were pretty crazy good about that. A guard spotted them clutching to their overturned craft as they kicked the shore. He asked if they needed help. My cousin Willie held up his wrist and shouted, we just lost a couple of oars, but my time axe is still running. So the point of this anecdote is that his watch is still running. Nothing to do with escaping from prison or the prison not noticing they were doing that. And so I pulled up his profile. It's a good one. He's Mick Girk 30. Apparently I have cousins who were in prison. There you go. It's a nice profile. That ties in nicely to my story. Look, there's kayakers in front of Sam Quinton. I just want to note that in this picture. Yeah. Oh, and William Henry McGurk. There's lots of stuff. That does look like you ever seen the commercials for the tape where they say they can build a tape, a boat completely out of tape and the boat runs. That's what that boat looks like. Yes, it does. There's the little flag they made. Pretty cool. Oh, did they film a time axe commercial afterwards? No, I don't think so. I don't think they would have let them do that. But there's lots of old stuff. The old man in the gun. So that's the case. It's the movie that Casey Affleck, Sissy Spakes and Robert Redford. And there's lots of really fun stuff on here. And so it went again for the second time a jury has decided not to convict two or three Sam Quinton prisoners who sailed to freedom in an improvised canoe decorated with the words Rubba Dub Dub, Marin Yacht Club. Okay, so that's a fun one. All right. That is neat. That is a fun one. Check that one out if you want to. The second one I picked out was this is one of my all time favorites. If you've ever wondered why you could not find some ancestors on a census, this might explain it. The certification by Harry, H-E-R-Y, Swearington, the Marshall and census taker indicates his frustration. I certify to be 64 pages and a piece of page inhabitants. I'd done as near in accordance with my oath as I could. The people was hard to get along with signed H- Swearington. Yeah, they didn't want to get their census taken. So the anecdote of that story is it's hard to take a census. Okay. Number three is from Brian Questnell. Continuing with a census theme, discovering a close relative was a guest of the state prisoner. In 1910 was a bit surprising. Fortunately, his occupation was listed as machinist as opposed to his previous role as burglar. All right. It was comforting to know that he was at least able to retain gainful employment while on involuntary sabbatical. I love the way Brian wrote that. That's great. Involuntary sabbatical. Remember that. That's a nice turn of phrase. I got to write that down. Involuntary sabbatical. Let's see. Yeah, like my kid, one time didn't want to go to the park. Yeah. I made him get in the van. I was driving a Jeep at the time. I made him get in the Jeep and I said, well, you have to go because I can't leave you in the house alone. It's against the law to leave a child alone in the house before they turn 13 in Canada. Period. He had to go to the park and he had an involuntary, he had a voluntary sabbatical in the Jeep while his brother and I played in the pool. Chris Federiello says I once found a note 1950 census in Newbury port that a few pages were taken by seagulls. Back then seagulls were jerks. Yes, they were. That's hilarious. All right. On to the last one. My great grandparents had a little difficulty obtaining a marriage license and this one's from Randall Marriott. By the way, they did get a license and were married in Christmas of 1890, but here it is. Let's see. Did I get the right one? Wait. Oh, I had it all pulled up. There it is. I found it. Jefferson Boone Thomas yesterday morning applied to the county clerk king for a marriage license with Ms. Perley Bell Tucker. If you're going to get married, married somebody named Perley. As both parties were under age, the applicant produced letters from the mother and the father of the young lady and his own father consenting to the issuance of the license. But as the handwriting in all cases was about the same, Mr. King thought best to have the applicant make an oath to the signatures. But he drew the license line there, but he drew the line there, refused to make the oath, and has not yet got a license. Was it real? Yeah. The kid, they were afraid the kid was fraudulently getting permission to have this wedding a bit later. What was the year on this? 1890. And in the information, it says they got married Christmas day. So they were trying to get married on the 20, this showed up in the 23rd 1890, which back then items wouldn't show up for a week or so. So maybe they try to get married like the 15th or the yeah. So but they did get married Christmas date. So congratulations. And the point of this is don't try and forge your parent signatures on anything. You know, your parents have to sign that report card. I once had a student do that in front of me. I was asking for a permission slip or a field trip. And I looked at it and I said, we don't have a signature. And they're like, Oh, here. Yeah, not the brightest bulb in the. We're so glad you're molding their minds. Crying. Oh, I went ahead and called. I had parents on my phone. So, you know, yeah, I bet you have my parents on your phone. Well, you know, you knew you were in trouble. There was a period when things bad enough in a band rehearsal and somebody was really acting up. I was like, okay. Hello, Mrs Smith. Hi. Yes. Well, that was a question of the week. If you want to read the rest of them, please feel free to there are a couple of novella in there. Pretty good. So anecdotes. Great. So if we move on to the question of the week about the profiles, the profile question is which national parks champion are you most closely connected to building on the theme? Because of course, Earth Day was this week on the 22nd. And so what better way to celebrate Earth Day than to go to a national park and enjoy nature and its grandeur. And so the two people who are part of the wiki tree combat, the question is, which one of you more closely connected to Teddy Roosevelt, who promoted national parks, national park system, our South African president, Paul Kruger, who is the whose name is based on the Kruger National Park in South Africa. So since all of these profiles are all land based and park based and what not, I thought what better way to celebrate that than with a map. So I created a little map. And you can I'm just going to put the URL right here on the screen. But you can also we're going to put it in the chat. And let's see. Can someone grab that in the chat? I think Azure was going to drop. It's also linked. I think Lazar said she Azure. Azure pinned it to the top of the chat. So it should be right there. So easy to get it. Got it. Okay. So one of the things you cool things you can do in Google Maps, if you're logged in with a Google account, you can actually go and you can make up your own custom maps. And I've done one of a couple of these before. But so I did one for this. And I put little markers for each of the maps, each of the locations for all of the profiles that we're going to talk about today. And you can also color code you if you go to and you click on any legend, you can actually click on the paint can and then color code them. And so I've color coded the two primary ones that Theodore Roosevelt National Park or the and the Kruger National Park. And so our interactive part of this piece will be to ask you to write down which of those parks are you closest to physically closest to. So I suspect again, it's going to be a little lopsided. But I'm hoping there's some people who are closer to I can tell you upstate upstate New York or Pennsylvania. Where is the one over there closest to me? No, of the two red ones of the two primary ones. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I am going to ask the next question, of course, which is which of the of all the parks are you so are you closer to Theodore Roosevelt National Park or Kruger National Park is question number one. And then question number two, the follow up one of all of the parks, which one are you close, but we'll answer that one later. I have a comment to make, you know, we have Leanne Kruger on our person. Yes, yes, that might be related to her husband's family, the Kruger National Park. Just saying they have lots of people down on South Africa. Nice. Yep. Nice. Very cool. Yeah. So if you click on any one of those ones, one of the things you can do is you can get directions or view and and then you could actually get an actual distance. And you'll notice I added the link to the profiles for each in each of those. Greg. Yeah, you never cease to a base. You can click on this link and then go straight to Theodore Roosevelt profile. I believe the wiki tree person answering Teddy would be as yes. Oh, is as answering question first? I think so. Oh, that's good. She can participate. Of course. Of course she is. So let me go through. There's there's lots of profiles. It seems every week they add two or four more profiles to the ones to go through. But anyways, Teddy Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. Apparently, just in cousin of mine, born 27th of October, 1858 in New York County, New York. There's a New York County in New York, New York State. That's a historic county, I believe. Oh, okay. Yeah. Is New York City in New York County in New York State? But not but not anymore, right? Because oh, okay. Now, New York City, we have Brooklyn, which is in King County and men. I think there's a man. No, I'm not sure, but but it's a historical thing for sure. Okay. So the trivia that we know is just amazing. What's that? The trivia that we know is just amazing. So you mean New York City currently is so big one county can't even contain it? Is that true? Yes. Yes. I'm sorry, I got distracted by something. And I didn't hear you because the dryer was buzzing. Okay. Well, there we go. Oh, I didn't realize that Teddy's mother was Martha Stewart. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's a coincidence. Isn't that wild? There's a time loop for you. But not that Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart Bullock. Isn't that that just jumped out at me right there? I didn't prepare that remark. That was just off the cuff, as many are. Anyways, we have a nice succession table here because of course, Peter Roosevelt had many prominent positions, but he was a governor of New York, a 33rd governor of New York. And then the 25th and the 26th president of the United States. And then he was so... Anyways, the biography is huge. One of the things I like about a number of these profiles this week is the inclusion of the pictures throughout. So there's lots of needs here. So here's a teddy bear, of course. His biography starts with a quote, it's a fairly long quote, but basically it's that he credits the man. Basically, he's all about the person, people who do the work or do, you know, are in the conflict and not those who just write about or not critics. Why not? So it's the doer that deserves the glory and not those who just observe from afar. His parents, again, Theodore Thee, Roosevelt, he didn't like the name Teddy, apparently itself, but they called her Tee-Dee was his nickname inside his family. And he had his closest sister, he called her Bamey, even though her name was Anna. So one little piece of trivia there. He had... His first wife was Alice. But very sadly, both his... After their first child was born, was also named Alice, his mother and his wife both died on the same day, just two days after the birth of that first child. Isn't that sad? Awful. Yeah. Much. That is just too much, just too much. But he did marry again and then had five other children with his second wife. Considered a true American hero, an example that people should live by. So the profile, of course, goes on about his presidency. And so I was a little confused here. He says he became vice president of the United States. And on the 14th, when President McKinley was assassinated, he began... Okay, so he did become president after the assassination. So I wasn't sure if the... When I first read this, I was confused whether he became vice president. He moved up, but I think he moved into the top spot. Am I reading that right? Into the top spot of what? Of being coming president after McKinley was assassinated. Oh, yes. If he was vice president, then he would be next in line. Is that what you're saying? Oh, okay. Now I'm... When I first read it, there was too many clauses and I was confused, but you're right. So he was vice president when McKinley was president. Yes. And then... And so when he was assassinated, he became the president. There we go. Exactly. Got it. Okay. First, the world leader to go to the court of arbitration at The Hague. That's pretty cool. And then I love this little editorial cartoon. He was a good character to put in editorial cartoons. Yeah. Yeah. And see, look at this nice feature of Okichi Plus. You can zoom in on the thing, of course. You don't want to have it centered, right? You lose their head. There we go. And then, okay, anyways, he was... But he was... Why he's included in this, of course, is because it was promotion of the National Park System. And then the other person who is also the primary profile is Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger from South Africa, born in Bochuk, Steinsburg District Cup Colony, and then passed away, and that's in 1825, passed away the 14th of July 1904 in Clarence, Switzerland. And he was the third state president of the South African Republic way back, 1881 to 1900. So he was... He would have been president during the Boer War, I'm guessing. He has a nice family photo there, and a statue of him in the church square. And again, this profile is really nicely done with the photos interspersed throughout. Lots of them there. And really cool how some of it is written right in the... I don't know if that's Dutch or actually Afrikaans. Could be either. So someone might correct me on that. But neat that they have the native language there in which it was written. And that's it. There's not a huge flow of the biography there. It's very short, but it does refer to a fuller biography on Wikipedia. But he has a national park named after him, which is in South Africa, as you can see right there. And moving on, George Catlin. He is one of the few that doesn't have a national park named after him or directly associated with him. So on the map, I linked his birthplace, which is Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Oh, sure. I know Wilkes Barre. Close that up. So one of the things, the cool things, if you're on the map and you've got the legend here, when you hover over a place in the legend, you can see it highlights. So if I'm highlighting you, so can you see how Wilkes Barre is highlighted there? It's not popping up. Well, I'm seeing, yes, Wilkes Barre is circled in white. Yes, yes. That's what I mean. Okay. Yeah. So if I go back to Petty Roosevelt Park, you can see it's right. Yes. That white halo around it that sort of is highlighted. That's nice. It pops. Yeah. Yeah. And now if I were to click on it or double click on here, it would zoom right into that. But then of course, at least lose the global view and have to zoom back out and give you all motion sickness. So I won't do that. I will just go over here, highlight it on the eastern seaborn of the North America there. So, but he was, he promoted parks and he actually did a lot of, a lot of sort of roughing it and investigation. He's most famous for being a painter, author, and traveler, specializing in portraits of Native Americans in the Old West. And there's a number of those portraits that are included in the bio very nicely done. Amazing work. He worked with, he ventured through and work with a number of different tribes, 18 different tribes, including the Pawnee, Omaha and Ponca in the south, Mandan, Hidasta, Hidatsa, Cheyenne, Pro, Asinaboyne and Blackfeet to the north. During later trips along the Arkansas, Red and Mississippi rivers, visits to the Florida and the Great Lakes, he went all over the place, produced more than 500 paintings. But sadly, at one point, he was forced to sell, looks like 607, all of his paintings, which were 607 at that point, due to personal debts. Isn't that sad? Anyways, amazing, amazing work, amazing artist. And then passed away in New York, New York City, 1772. I love that the profile has so many examples of his work together. Yeah, yeah, and very detailed. Yeah. So there's some neat, look, there's some DNA connections. There's a wide DNA connection to him. One of our wiki chairs has done a wide DNA test and is connected. And someone is close enough to have some autosomal DNA. So that's kind of nice. And I would think here, there was a link to a free space page of his works. There it is. Yeah, some of that can be found on the wiki tree. So if we click on that, we've got a free space page of more paintings and stuff and links to another. So more things to investigate. Marjory Stonem, the Grand Dame of the Everglades. So again, Everglades in Florida here. So that's the, that little marker is not in Cuba. We could zoom in a little bit to see. It's just in the southern tip of Florida. That's where Everglades National Park is. Is it on the coast? Everglades National Park. All of that green is the park. Yeah. It's huge. Yeah. So like, like in a lot of places, like Google has to put a pin somewhere. So like in your town, it's usually where the city hall is. If you just, right. So this might be where the park office is. I'm guessing. And if you say, is it waterfront? Well, it's pretty swampy the whole thing. Yeah. All of alligators. Don't get out of your car on the side of the road if you get stuck. Right. That's right. Well, it's most fun. We did, we actually did a trip when we took our kids on a trip to Florida at one point. And we did the hoverboat thing through, which is kind of neat. Is it hovercraft? Hover one with a big fan on the back. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. And that's not, I don't know what they call those, but those are air, air boats, I think. Somebody can correct me on that. Hovercraft actually hovers above. And those are just really flat boats that just skim. Yeah. Skim over the tops of those alligators. Right. Yeah. So Marjorie is the grand dam. She was an American journalist, writer, feminist and environmentalist. And her, her quote is, be a nuisance where it counts. I like that. I know. Like basically, be the grit in the machine when you need to, you know, exact some change, you know. So apparently. Pick your battles. Yeah. Back in 1917, she with three other women made the trip to this Florida State Capitol and spoke about women's suffragette. But it was a big room. Men sitting around with spittoons between every two or three of them. They ignored them. All they did was spit in the spittoons. Didn't pay attention to us at all. Very sad to hear. But she fought that battle. So according to this, on the 14th Amendment, the Constitution was passed in 1920, allowing women to vote. But Florida did not ratify that until 1969. So does that mean that women couldn't vote in Florida? Or they just had, they just didn't acknowledge the fact that women were voting in Florida until 1969? I think it has to be the first one. I can't believe that. No, because the U.S. Constitution would supersede. Okay. Rights, I would think. Women couldn't have bank accounts until the 70s in their own names. What? Yeah. That is. That's crazy. That doesn't, that doesn't sound like it could be true. That just seems so ridiculous. But the husband had to be a co-signer. Wow. That's wild. Or father. Anyways, she wrote a book, The Everglades River of Grass, and that has been continually in print. And anyway, she's been a huge component or proponent for the park. And won some awards because of her work. It's a great work, Marjorie. Okay. Next we have Suekou Kunitomi, or Sue, born the 6th of January, 1923 in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, and passed away at the age of 83 in May of 2006. She was a Japanese internee in the World War II, teacher, activist, and longtime chair of the Manzanar Committee, which established the annual Manzanar Pebble Grimage and obtained national historic site status for the former concentration camp. So, yes. Now, this is a, this piece of history, Canada also interned Japanese Canadians, Japanese nationals during World War II. And it's a very, it's not something that's often taught in history classes. And I, and I, and the same sort of thing did happen to our neighbors to the South in the States as well. And many of the, many of those people, at least in Canada, and I suspect in the States, were, really did not have ties to Japan and the war, but just because of their heritage. So that was, that is something that has, I think there has been an official apology in Canada. I don't know if something has come out in the States, the official apology or not. But anyway, she obviously was an activist and made people aware of that. And now there's a national historic site to that. And that is located, let me zoom out again. Look for the halo. And there it is, California. Little, little north of LA. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Then we have George Bird, George Bird Grinnell, born in 1849 in Brooklyn, died in 1938, the age of 88 in Manhattan. And he was an anthropologist, historian, naturalist, and writer. And he founded the National Audubon Society. Oh, yeah. Named after, of course, famous naturalists. I think it's John Audubon, isn't it? Yes. So yeah, he founded the National Audubon Society. And he is connected to the Glacier National Park. So his, at one point, I opened up his Wikipedia article. And he was a proponent and traveled to Glacier National Park, which is, there it is, Montana, it looks like. And then we go over to Holland for Anthony George, or Georg Krüller, born the 1st of May, 1862 in Rotterdam, passed away the 5th of December, 1941 in Ada, Gelderland, Netherlands. He was a Dutch businessman known as the founder of the state of De Hugga, De Hugga, Belova, and played a significant role in the establishment of the Netherlands School of Economics, and after whom the Krüller-Muller Museum is named. And the De Hugga Belova National Park is located in the province of Gelderland, where he lived 5,400 acre hectares of that. And again, you can see that on the map, if I zoom out enough. Actually, let's zoom into it, so you can see it right there, the heart. And Yoke visited this park as a question. I was just wondering the same thing. Tell us, Yoke, what's the park like? Have you been there before? Moving on, we have Stephen Ting Mather, a distant cousin, born in 1867 in San Francisco. If it was 76, it would be on the Centenary, but it's not quite the Centenary, right? The 4th of July, 1867. Three days after Canada became a country, so that's kind of cool, which would have been July 1st, 1867, and passed away the 22nd of January 1930. And he was another conservationist, but also an industrialist, and president of a Perkelson and Mather Borax Company. He became a millionaire. He moved to New York, but he did lots of work in the Shenandoah, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks, and his math pinpoint is a wilderness area that was named after him, which is showing where we're here. There it is, Washington, interesting. And then we have Karamoana Elizabeth McKean, born in Vernon, or the 23rd of June in New Zealand, and then passed away on the 10th of June 2006, and Cobbton, Victoria, Australia, at the grand age of 101. Love to see that. Isn't that neat? 101. She became the first female national park ranger in Victoria, Australia. Isn't that cool? First female park ranger. Collector, conservationist, preservationist, naturalist, and two species of fungus have been named after her. Oh, if I had a fungus named after me, it would be perfect. I'm not sure if you had to pick something to be named after you. I'm not sure fungus would be top of my list, but you take what you can get. And so if we zoom out to Australia, we can see where Victoria, of course, is the state just above Tasmania, the south east. There we go. Then we're moving on to John Muir. Hey, great. Great. Can I ask you a question? Just going back to Stephen Ting, Mather, was there, there is a high school in Chicago that is named after him. So do you have any Chicago connections? I didn't hear you. Well, it's mentioned here in his, his, his Wiki, that there was a, that that was a place. Where is this Chicago? Let's see. He was born in San Francisco, died in Massachusetts. He may have, he might have driven through. Let's see what he would have seen if his ancestors had- But he didn't find any alligators on the drive. I hope not. No, it doesn't look like there. Because I double checked, you know, it could be a different, it was, it said Stephen T. Mather, and then I dug a little deeper and sure enough, it was Ting, T-Y-N-G. So it is, it is named after him. Yeah. Well, let's do a search for Chicago. Control-F Chicago. In 1840, he, he moved with his wife to Chicago and that's where they established a distribution, distribution center for his company. There you go. Okay. Mystery solved. So his business started in Chicago, it looks like. He was active in many silver groups, including the Chicago City Club and the Municipal Builders Club. So he was a upstanding Chicago citizen. Good question. Then John Muir from Scotland. We've got, we've got Murray Maloney, he was giving us the entire story. Oh, I'm posting it there. There's a second version, there's a continued part. He came to Canada to join his younger brother to escape the draft for the American Civil War. Wow. I don't know if that's in his profile, but thank you Murray. Thank you. I don't think it was. Fascinating. But it should be. This is John Muir. Okay. Tell him the story, John. There, Murray. There we go. Murray, Muir, John, yeah. Yeah, there we go. There we go. So that's the story of his life. Thank you and the Canadian connection. How he fits in here, of course, is his work as an environmentalist, local lover of the Alpine Club and the Sierra Club. On the map, there is a national monument devoted to him, which is in California. Muir Woods National Monument. Is there a monument in the monument, or is it just the park? Oh, well, let's see what we can do. We do it in the maps. Can you do, grab the little man and make him stand in front of it? Where's my little man? Come on, little man. Is there not a road, though? It won't do it, because the car can't grab the little woods. Oh, right, yeah. There's a picture right there. There we go. It's gorgeous. It's a national monument. Look at that. That's pretty good. Muir Beach, according to Lynette, was the newest beach in San Francisco. Oh, really? Yeah, Lynette, how do you know? That's pretty. That's pretty. Look away. Google's taking our picture. Look away. Yeah, I don't think the Google car was allowed on that path. No. Wow. This is very nice. Yeah. Oh, there's a little man there. Cool. Some clover. Yeah. Queen Victoria even makes the list of profiles this week. Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India, and so on and so forth. Again, of course, a nice profile. I'm pretty sure we've talked about this family a few times. Possibly. I will not belabor the point. Again, it's still a lovely profile. Her claim to fame in this, of course, is Victoria Falls in Africa, was named after her, among a whole pile of other things around the world, including including the capital city of British Columbia, Victoria, BC. But anyways, here is Victoria Falls in Africa, which is actually in Zimbabwe, I believe. Is that right? Yes, it is Zimbabwe. And then the final, the final profile of the week is Brigadier General Charles Denton Young, born on the March 1864 in Maslick, Mason, Kentucky, and passed away the 8th of January, 1922 at 57 in Lagos, Nigeria. He was only the third African American graduate to graduate from the United States military academy at West Point. And he was the very first black man to achieve the rank of colonel in the United States Army. He held many commands and was the highest ranking black officer in the United States until his death. And then 100 years after he died, he was posthumously promoted to Brigadier General for his accomplishments. Yeah. His beginning was difficult. He was born during the Civil War. And his parents were enslaved to enslaved parents, Gabriel Young and Armintia Bruin. His father was able to escape and join the Union Army during that Civil War. Then afterwards his family moved to Ohio, where he attended school. And then he was appointed to West Point, graduated, third black man to do so, and then went on. He returned to active duty during the Spanish American War and was command of the 10th Calgary that charged up San Juan Hill. So that's a fairly famous battle, isn't it? The Battle of San Juan Hill. He was appointed the superintendent of two national parks in California, Sequoia and General Grant's National Parks. So hence his inclusion here. And then he married eight males, two children. He was assigned the Poncho Villa Expedition in New Mexico. And then he was appointed to the United States military attache to Liberia, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. And then passed away in Nigeria and buried in the Arlington National Cemetery. So quite an impressive man and very nice profile form there. And his map actually, his home, let's zoom in back to that over here. His home was dedicated as a national historic site by President Obama. I think it's, where was it here? Yeah, President Obama designated his house a national monument, the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument to commemorate his life and the lies and service of the Buffalo Soldiers. That's, that's what I'm the park, the location that I'm closest to. That's the one you're closest to. Cool. So have people been telling us where they're closest to? Yes. Yeah, you can go back and reread the chat later on. I'll read it for myself. Okay. All right. Well, thanks, Greg. Fun as always. And next week, we're talking about poets from Parks to Poets. Parks to Poets. Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. So, well, let's see. Let's, let's switch over, switch gears to photos. I, what I'm going to do is I'm going to let you see, see the full, no, let's see. There you should be able to see now the full photo. Yeah. So this was contributed by Emily Ledford. And these are her paternal grandparents, Nina and Robert Cole. They were married for 58 years with 12 children, 12, 12 and lived their whole lives in Lafellets, Tennessee. I hope I'm saying that's correct correctly. They passed away hand in hand on December 6, 2010. To get like they both passed away at the same time. That's what it says. That's crazy. I know. I know. That just touched me when I read that this morning. So, beautiful, beautiful photo. Thank you, Emily. And then our next photo, this lovely couple is Edison Williams contributed this and says that this is William Wallace McKinley Jr. and his wife, Leela Ruth Peeler McKinley, around 1969. They were married around 1932. And William McKinley died June 1978. And Leela was interred next to him in Purcell, Purcell, Texas when she passed in 2007. So not, not exactly sure of the relationship between Edison and this couple, but it's a very, very sweet girl. I know. Oh, lovely, lovely. And then our third photo is, oh, do we, oh yes, that's right. Thanks, thanks. You'll be the big finish. Okay, our next photo is a historic one. Oh, and it doesn't look like I can click on it. It was just inserted into the there. How's that? Can we Yeah, that's good. So John Thompson contributed this. He said climbing the tree in search of a couple's photo. I find the portrait of Sarah, who is Monk, M-O-N-C-K 168 Mason, and her husband, Robert Mason. This is his sixth great-grandparents whom he shares with many others, many other sixth great-grandchildren of this lovely couple. So, and people in the comments were wondering, I wonder how long they had to sit still. Really? And his arm must have been tired holding it up like that. I know, I know. And what is he doing? Oh, he's got his, his hand on the back of her chair. But it's, Oh, there's a chair there. Yeah. So, and our final couple. And I will turn, I will stop sharing over to you, Megs. That is my mom and dad. And I'll tell you where we are. And you'll say we're all the people. This was in Niagara Falls, Canada, which is usually covered up with people, but it was before the end of COVID. And it was the first time I had seen them in two years. So, I drove up. And that is early, early bird gallden. So, Earl gallden and jump gallden. I just snapped that picture. I thought it was just adorable. Oh, that's sweet. All right. And they're, they're living. So this should really be unlisted, but we're not. Well, you're not showing their faces. So I don't know. And they're not in witness protection programs. Thank you, Betty. You're looking for an older man with gray hair. And a lady in a red coat. Yeah. We all did the zip line at, at, at Niagara. My mom, her friend, Jan, and I, and we were all wearing, I was had on, I had on my wiki tree coat, big red, orange coat. So we all had on orange or red. And so on the zip line, it was kind of cool looking. Neat. Yes. My mom did the zip line. She did. That is amazing. Good for her. I've not, I've not done a zip line. I'm, I'm not really great with heights. So the zip line at, at, at Niagara is pretty cool. It doesn't actually go over the falls. Okay. It goes along the side of the canyon. Okay. The ravine. So it goes along the side of it. So you have a gorgeous view though, unfettered view of the falls. Okay. When we were there, somebody had jumped into the river and was floating down the river underneath us. And I was like, should we tell somebody about this? Yeah. He goes down too far. He's going to get drowned in. Well, because you know that I have family in Niagara Falls, like from my past. Canada or the U.S. in Canada. And my grandfather was born there and his mother was born there. And so, you know, I see a research trip in my future. I've, I've been, but, but it was before I was a genealogist. So maybe this is my third time, I think, was that trip? Yeah. Fun. Yeah. All right. So in lieu of a tip, we are going to return to last week's discussion of invitations to living people on what to do with living relative that you relatives you may have created maybe five years ago, what, what to do. And so I have, I have a series of questions that were relayed to me and we're going to answer them. And then if there are more that come through the, the chat, then we'll answer those two. And I believe Azure was going to post a series of health pages. So the health page on invitations, living people, anonymous placeholders, which is the new thing for a living person who declines to become a wikitri family member and deletion of profiles. So let's look at these questions and we'll see if we can make it clear. And I'll be hopping around to, to various pages depending on what we need to reference. So first question is what if you have an elderly relative who say is visually impaired, does not use the computer, but said that I can add her. So in reading all of the health pages, thank you, Azure. Thank you very much. In reading the health pages, what it allows for is for you to add only add a living person who is your legal dependent. So to me that implies children. I suppose it's possible if you, you had power of attorney for an elderly relative that they might be your legal dependent. But in this case, I would say, unfortunately, you would even though she says that you can add her, you're going to have to do an anonymous placeholder for her. Would you agree in that interpretation? Greg's, Greg mags. Yeah. It looks like that. Yeah. Yeah. So there's that question. What about my elderly relative that is still living whom I added on wiki tree five years ago. So if you go to that profile, assuming you're the, I assume you're the profile manager, you will see a banner up at the top with an exclamation point. And it's, it will say, please invite this person to wiki tree. And so then you would go into edit mode. And in the opening, you know, information for name and dates and locations. There's an email field. And you would put, you would put the person's email address in there, and then they will get an invitation. And we did go, we did talk about this last week, on the page, the help page for in the invitations, you will see a sample of what they will receive. So if, if the person responds by, by creating password, a wiki tree account within 30 days, great. You'll proceed in merrily along. If they do nothing within 30 days or decline the invitation, then the profile will convert to an anonymous placeholder profile, which basically just either says anonymous Smith, or maybe an initial like M Smith. And, and it will have a relationship to, to, to, so we know who, so a person knowledgeable about the family will know who they are. But otherwise there will be no information. I just converted an elderly relative of mine from an active profile. I just don't want to bother her. She does have email, but I don't want to trouble her with this. And so I've made her into an anonymous profile placeholder. It's easy. You just there are instructions on the anonymous placeholder help page. And basically you just remove all the dates and the locations. I changed it to a first letter. The relationships are preserved. And then public view. It just says living Smith. And, and the file manager. Got a question. I got two questions. First one is our older profiles, will they not automatically convert to anonymous? And that's, it's a statement from ICM. I just want to verify it's correct. She says older existing profiles will not automatically convert to anonymous. And my dad's 93, but he signed up wiki tree probably 10 years ago. And he's, he's probably not as active, but I think that he probably does scan because he likes to keep up with what I'm doing. Right. Yeah. So he does log in occasionally. I don't think that, that I think you're in your dad's case because he signed up for an account. And my mom, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're both fine. It's, it's people who, who do not, who do not accept the invitation. They decline it or they don't respond. Yeah. Older existing profiles. I am not clear in reading through everything. I'm not clear if there's going to be like a sweep of the system. If they're going to clean, if they're going to clean up the, yeah, they're gonna, you know, I, I mean, I guess there would be a way to do it. And like I said, my older relatives profile had a, had a template at the top. So, you know, clearly they could pull out all the living profiles who are not members, right. It could be done. I don't know who manages the decline imitation profile. That's from Sandy. Yes. So that, that is the, the third possibility is, Oh, I see. No, declined. Manage. Oh, in that case, if the, if the invitation is declined, then it becomes an anonymous placeholder and you are still the profile manager. Does that, I hope that answers the question. Yeah. And we do have an answer. Aussie said that the GDG posts said existing profiles will not automatically convert invited or not. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Aussie. And then the other possibility is that the person could delete the invitation, but that is maybe not the best course of action because then maybe somebody else in the family could, could come along, you know, nine months later and say, Oh, hey, look, so-and-so doesn't have a father and then we add you, we invite you. So if you really just wanted one and done, don't be bothered again, just decline the invitation or let it go for 30 days. Right. Don't delete it. Okay. Okay. What if I created a profile for my living cousin and they decided to join WikiTree a year from now? Will that be a duplicate or a problem because of me? And I think in that case, you would just have to do a merge. And that's fine. It's not a problem. Merges happen all the time. How does this affect my CC7 if a profile becomes an anonymous placeholder? It doesn't. They'll still count. So not to worry about that. If you're at 1,000, if you're at 2,000 and you're worried about slipping to 1,999, fear not. Did I take away the badge? No. Do I really have to delete all the living relatives that I've already created years ago? No. Just invite them. Which, depending on the size of your living person that might take a little bit of effort. Yes, please do invite them. Make that gesture giving them the right to accept or decline. Where can I find this new policy? So I think the G2G post already in the chat. Yes, and it's also outlined on the help. Thank you, Azure. On that G2G post as well as the help pages is where you can review the official words. And finally, what age can I add a living profile that I have permission to do so? For example, my kid, 18 years old. Well, so I'm going to switch over to, there is a help page for help children on wiki tree. So again, referencing the statement that you can add a person, if they're your legal with their permission, that would apply to children. So if they're 18, they can be active on wiki tree themselves. If they're 18, then they really fall into the category of someone who should be invited. That's amazing that you have Kismet with April Dennis because she asked that question right before you started to answer it. So I threw her question up so we could see your question. Uh-huh. Leave them. My living kit. Whoops. I'll put it back up. Okay. Thank you. So April, I would say invite them and then they'll either they can either accept and become co-managers of the profile with you, or they can be just remain as anonymous placeholders. Got a couple more questions. When did just come into effect? April 1st. So just about a month ago. April, here is a, Azure is working in the background here. Here's a children on wiki tree note for you to check out on the help pages. Yep. The other question, I'm going to leave that up while I read this to you. How much email do living relatives that are just family members not active get from wiki tree? I don't know if they get any. My parents talk about getting emails and stuff, but Right. Right. I mean, technically. Right. Exactly. I would say if your relative is being disturbed by that, just have them go to their help them go to this part of the profile where they can manage preferences in the genealogist section of the profile, you can control as well as settings. You can control what, how much communication you get. There's the genealogist section and then settings is under my wiki tree. Oh, there's another one. This is an unconnected question. Yes. Ready to go there. How do you correct the relationship from uncle to brother? I keep trying and it goes right back. Okay. Denver, I wonder if you can come to the new member of Q&A by zoom tomorrow morning. Jump on that. Give us the link real quick. Oh, yeah. I don't have that link ready. And Fandy is giving us some love there. Denver, I'm sure that it's, it's probably something very easy to fix, but it's a little hard to diagnose just, you know, without seeing it. Lisa Gervais is offering an anecdote, not an anecdote, an antidote. Denver, try removing both parents from one person then add the correct parents. You're welcome. Not from me, but from Lisa. So if you have any more questions, the best place to throw those out there is to answer the G2G post where the changes were, thank you, Azure, when it was initially announced on April 1st. And is this going to be a topic at the tree tours this week? Yes, which is on Monday, Tuesday. Tuesday at 11, I think. Tuesday at 11. There will be further conversation and deeper dive with Azure. And I think, Greg, are you going to be there? I don't think, I think I have Sophia. Oh, yeah, you're traveling. Okay. No, we have Sophia. Where are you traveling? I'm traveling the next morning. Sophia, are you? What's that? Go ahead. No, I have Sophia on Tuesday, and then I'll be traveling on Wednesday to go to a math conference, folks. So I'll be all mapped up for the next Saturday. Oh, we can't get enough math. Too much mapping. And to wrap things up, I do have one ancestor to celebrate. Let me start sharing that person's, where is he? Okay. Celebrate your answer. Here's the wiki tree tours post. Thank you very much. So this ancestor is Dennis L. Ray. And I saw Judith Frye in the chat a little at the beginning. And then she said, gotta go. My mom wants to go to a yard sale. So Judith, I hope you're able to see this on the replay. So this is her dad's cousin. And his connection to April. Wait a minute. His connection to April. Oh, is that he was married? Okay. Yep. On April 9 1960. And Dennis was the son of his great and Axie Frye Ray. I didn't realize that the fries have very strong genes until I met Dennis. The first time I saw Dennis, I nearly cried. He looked exactly like my grandpa Frye whom I miss a lot. Not only did Dennis look like grandpa Frye, he walked like him, sounded like him, and then had the same mischievous grin. It was like having a small piece of my grandpa again. Boy, could I tell you stories about Dennis Ray. Not all of them good, but funny. Mom and dad told me about the time they visited Dennis in Chicago. He said, watch this and stepped in front of a car. Mom said he did this to collect from the driver's insurance. Later, he became a preacher on the radio. He had many jobs over the years. He was in the US Army for a while and retired from the railroad. The last time we visited him, my mom asked Dennis's wife what he was currently working as and his wife answered, I don't know. I don't ask. Dennis said he was working at a transmission shop. I like his wife's answer better. So I don't think no. He's an Appalachian. Biscuits. Biscuits. And I don't think we have any pictures. So thank you so much, Judith, for sharing Dennis with him. I love the fact that he was such a strong resemblance to your grandfather. My cousin, my second cousin, has a grandson who is the spinning image of my grandfather. And every time I look at him, I'm like, you know, I want to hug him, but I didn't know my grandfather when he was a teenager. And I just got pictures of him. So yeah, that's cool. You know what's a really cool thing about spinning images? If you put them together in a line of photos. You don't say, Greg. So in case you didn't know, there was actually a new app on the scene. Oh! Yes, way. And I showed this off and I forgot that I didn't show it off here at the roundup. But at one of our check-ins during the Connectathon, we talked about the photo lines app. And so it's one that I've added. If you go to your, open up your profile and go to find apps, it's listed on this page here. And shortly, it will also be listed on the fly out from the wiki tree browser. Oh, there it is. It's right there. It is there. I just needed to update. It's also there in the fly out from the wiki tree browser extension. So you put in your app, you log in, you put in your ID, and then what it'll do is it loads your profiles and then you can customize. So here there's a little preview of what your profile looks like. And this is my Douglas line, my eternal line. So I'm going to put the word Douglas in there. So I see it changes that. You can add things like showing the lifespan or if you're living, then it'll just put your birth date there. You could include full names if you wanted. And one feature I added for Megs this week is I added the option so you can change your photo if you wanted a different photo. So my grandfather, when I click on his photo, you see there's actually, there's three possibilities. If I just wanted a silhouette, and this doesn't make sense for my grandfather, because there's an actual photo of him. But there is a his wedding photos. So if we had, if I had a wedding photo for each of my ancestors, then we could make a photo lines of our wedding. So that would be kind of cool. Yes, yes. Wouldn't that be neat? I love that option. Thanks, Greg. The reason I added the silhouette was because you know how sometimes on WikiTree profiles, if you've added a source like a marriage certificate or something like that, but you don't have an actual photo, that marriage certificate becomes their profile picture sort of by default. And in a photo line, that doesn't make a lot of sense. So this way you can substitute your that certificate for a silhouette. Yeah, for me, it was my fourth, fifth great grandmother whose or fourth great grandmother's Civil War affidavit that she was a widow from the Civil War, even though he never returned. Nobody knew where he was, but I found him. But yeah, I did. Cool. Buried in Camden, South Carolina. Wow. So I tested that with my own. So I added, there's a fan chart. So instead of my face, you get my fan chart. But if you're wondering, well, how do I do that? So you can just, if you just add more photos to your profile and the images, then they will show up in this drop in this list here. Or if you get if you just tag yourself or your tag your ancestor to a photo that's anywhere on wiki tree, go to the image and you add that person's add that wiki tree ID as a tag to a person in the photo, then the app will pick that up. So you don't have to upload it directly to the profile. It just has to be uploaded somewhere on wiki tree. And you just add the printer ready? Well, when you go to the next page, once you've customized it the way you want, you go to the next page. The top part there, this is what you would, you would copy that. And you, there's even a copy button that'll copy it automatically for you. And then you copy the wiki markup, copying the wiki markup. Yes. The wiki, the wiki text. So I'm going to go back to, I'm going to go into my own profile again, add that. And I'll show you where's my edit. And did I not go into edit mode? Edit please. Oh, you have an uncommitted draft. Oh, because I was probably doing the exact same thing when I was testing. So I'm going to put it at the very top of my bio because like everything, it's my bio is long winded. So there it's at the top that wiki text all about gobbledygook. And then if I hit preview, you can see what it will look like. There it is. There it is. Oh, nice. I have one on my profile right now. Yeah. Yeah, me too. Now the other thing I just added, and this is the second. Yeah, this is cool. I love those. The second thing is if you wanted to put this somewhere else, I've added a feature, a box down below, which gives you the HTML code. So like sorry, he's like a he's like a Christmas self all year round. So now you can copy and paste this into any web page, into a blog post, anywhere else on the web on the web that you want to show off. And because the default is to add the live links. So if you paste this, if you look in here, there's code. So it'll make a live so when someone clicks on the link to the person's name, it'll open up their wiki tree profile wiki tree profile. So another way to promote wiki tree all around. And what about it being printer friendly, you can cut and paste it. What I would say, I guess the easiest way would be to use a just to do a screen grab screenshot screenshot. Yeah, I don't I don't have it generating a PDF automatically. You just made Azure exceptionally happy building links back to wiki tree. Yeah, that's right. Just like that math. Oh, that's so funny. People keep asking me to do the social media, Lisa. Anyways, did I put the link to the photo lines in the chat already? Someone did. Good. There we go. Anyways, that's it just the segue, the segue was just too smooth to ignore. You know, I love that you do all this stuff, Greg, and we appreciate you so much. You've made you've built on you've embellished wiki tree so nicely. Thank you. Thank you. You're very welcome. You embellished my life so nicely. And I'm going to talk about some social media stuff right now. Let's see if I can get my screen dish to share again. Let's see. Present. Share screen. Sorry about that, folks. There we go. Share and add to stage. There we go. What's happening around wiki tree in 2024? Let's see. This is coming up on the very last week. So this is the 27th of April. So nothing happens from the 28th of weekend chat. That's what is today's date? Today's 27th. So the weekend chat goes through tomorrow, I guess. But otherwise, there's nothing else happening the rest of April. 29th, 29th, 30th. Yeah, no, nothing, nothing else. Oh, look. New membership. Yeah. Well, I was just looking. There's nothing listed in the activities. I just thought that was funny. But there really is. You remember Q&A with Betsy Koch coming up on the 28th, on the 30th, wiki tree tours, living relatives, and new invitation system. So if you were watching today or you were watching last week and you still are a little confused about this, check out the wiki tree tours with Aon, Julie, Betsy, and I've forgotten who else, as maybe Sandy. Sandy. And then there's the link builders challenge on April the 30th coming up. So that's fun. And over to the social media page on the ambassador's project, we can scroll down and check those out. So we want to go to week of Sunday, April the 28th. Randy Seaver takes the wiki challenge. Love Randy Seaver. Love him to death. So if you want to find out more about Randy, who is a big wiki tree supporter and a professional genealogist, check that out. The cemetery spotlight is going to be Nimity Bell Pioneer Cemetery again. It got shifted from last week to this week. So lots of love there for that question of the week will be coming up the wiki tree tours. We already talked about it with all of the gang. One Name Tuesday will be Blackwell. And of course, if you want to share any of these, you've got great links going to all of the different social medias. Sorry, I don't mean to give anybody vertigo. Blackwell is the One Name Tuesday connection combat. We'll see what it is next week. Holland Marsh, Ontario is the one place Wednesday. Where is that, Greg? It's in between Aurelia and in Toronto, down the 400. Cool. Project Showcase, One Place Studies is coming up. That's a fun one. And since One Place, Holland Marsh, Ontario, I bet they talk about it in the project. So the connection finder, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame spotlights coming up. Friday Night Bingo with Sandy Paddock. Women of Science. That's the noon one. And then historical Notables is the 6 p.m. Meet our members. We'll be posted and then back with us. Link time. Well, you'll be back with us next Saturday. So not a bad thing to do. Thank you, Aowyn. And for Az and Lisa and Chris Fabriello, all of the people on that team that get this stuff together. What? Oh, look at that. Ah, the Wiki Tree Tours on your left is the Appalachian Project. Boom! Oh, moonshine again. Chris. All right. So that is your week in and Wiki Tree. And we're so glad that you've been here with us. And we'll see you next week. See you next week. Thanks for coming. Bye. Okay. Bye.

I have invented the world I see. The thoughts that you think you think, part of your everyday, daily thoughts and consciousness, and the world that you think you perceive, are absolutely identical. As long as we believe in the ego, we believe we're inventors. Listen, there's no invention in heaven. Perception, by its very nature, is not reality. God doesn't even know about perception, but the Holy Spirit is the mediator, is the one who's able to work with perception because the Holy Spirit knows that it's false. And that's the teacher you need to follow. Jesus would say to us, that's the teacher I followed, and now I've merged with that teacher, and oh, it's wonderful. Because that is in perfect alignment with God. That Spirit is real.

“I would get on a plane every Sunday evening, and for the first 6 years, I would fly home on Friday evening. That only left me one and a half days at home.”
Dr. Robert Schafer is an economic geologist from Chicago, Illinois. While studying at grad school, Schafer was already consulting, which provided him with healthy stipends but angered some of his professors. He continued a very successful career having worked for countless resource companies such as BHP Billiton, Kinross Gold and Hunter Dickinson.

One of the things I like about Salt Lake City. It's a city in the mountains We got mountains on both sides of the city and on the western side within the city limits is the largest copper mine in the North America It's a big open pit copper mine that you can see the dumps from that's been operating since 1903 called big uncanny in the mind over five billion tons of rock out of the hole so it can be seen from the moon and There's never been a environmental disaster of any sort in that hundred-plus years of activity within the city limits of Salt Lake and In fact back in the 60s and 70s when I was a kid Sunday night TV was you know Lassie and Bonanza and that sort of thing on Sunday night in Salt Lake City after Bonanza They had the Kennecott week Sunday night move family movie and it would be sponsored by the mine the first 15 minutes was Statistics of what went on at the mine that week in terms of you know How many tons of ore were moved and how much metal got produced and if there was an accident or not and Keep you informed and then and then the mine would then the movie would start 15 minutes after 9 and go Commercial-free for the rest of the evening So they kept the people informed Salt Lake City what what this mine meant to their economy

All right everybody, what is going on? Welcome to another video and another episode of making gains and today Finally I'm gonna go down to the gym and try and beat my PB on the flat bench for a five by five anyway I wouldn't be able to tell you what my what my max on the benches because I really don't know the last time I tried that I got 110 kg and that was probably about a year ago, so I Would assume my one rep max would be up around about the hundred and twenty kg mark But you know I couldn't say today. We're gonna do a five by five at 95 kg If I could put a hundred kgs on there and do a good solid five by five I would be so happy, but I don't think I'm there yet, so we're gonna sit at 95 kilos and You know I realize I realize guys that that's not That's certainly not impressive for my body weight You know my body weight is over a hundred kg and I still can't even bench-press that for reps So something's going wrong with my chest training. I know I do know what I need to do I know that the best sessions I have The ones where I really really push myself are the ones where I've got a spotter And if I don't have a spotter with me, I just cannot push myself as hard as I need to to progressively overload on something like chest So no spotter today as per usual, but we are gonna go for this PB That's the main thing I want to do today if I get it. I'm gonna be really happy if I don't You know it's back to the drawing board and that'll be quite disappointing, but Fingers crossed you know this reminds me of the time when I was sitting right here Actually talking to you guys about how I was gonna go down to the gym and hit a PB on the deadlift and it happened So I finished night shift It's about eight o'clock in the morning and we're gonna go and smash this. So let's do it No, that's that's too close Welcome back to the vlog. We're here It's a couple of days post chest session and I am absolutely stoked that we hit a new PB 95 kilos five reps Five by five with a set of seven to finish Now I went in there not knowing exactly how things were gonna go but one variable I did control was my the amount of volume I did on my warm-up now I am known to go hard go too hard in my warm-up sets Even taking some of them to failure. I've been known to do that Which is absolutely ridiculous because you're taking away all of your strength For your for your top sets. So this time, you know, it was a really quick warm-up I got into my working set weight and Yeah, push through it was great. Got it got it done. Honestly I was gonna put a hundred kgs on for the last set, but I decided not to I decided to just stick at 95 kilos I would have been really fucked off if I didn't get it because then that wouldn't have been a five by five But I did get five by five including a set of seven at the end. So absolutely stoked about that we are making gains finally finally I'm making some gains on chest and You know, I couldn't be couldn't be happier about that. So thanks for watching guys That's how the bench presses is tracking All other lifts are sort of going up slowly slowly But bench presses definitely being one that I've plateaued at for quite a while, but obviously not now. So the next The next time I do a five by five. I'll be attempting a hundred kilo. I'm confident that I can definitely get five reps with a hundred So whether I can do five by five with a hundred Is is yet to be known, but we'll do that all in good time guys We've got three more months of bulking and I can't wait. So until then have a great day Train hard eat well all that good stuff. See you next one

So we're going to patch it in and out so we can get to the RTG line cut and we can go cut these top side now to give you a one-year on it. And then when you get in there, you can feel how it feels. And then if for flight, if this doesn't work, we can go to the back. All you need is an edge because all you're doing is shearing. You're not really cutting, you're shearing. So I would put more metal. Okay, let's grab the... So we're going to go through the normal flow. We'll have Don read you the airlock. Get out of the airlock, get your mini workstations on. At that time, would you rather do three point tools? We'll do those things last. Okay. We'll go through the IUS Jettison procedures. We'll do everything on the procedure except the torque multiplier. So that will get you through the cooling dampers, the centering springs. I think this time you wanted to try to shear the powder pin instead of pulling it out. So you can try that and you both have two centering springs to do and one cooling damper each to do. Or you can work in a crew. As a crew, no. We still have the same little rows. Yep. So we can still pull that thing out. That was good. Good... You know, all we need is... Maybe all we need is a sharper set of little rows. The time it's in the IFM kit. Yeah, the IFM kit. You know, we could sharpen these things. Then we could get it inside of the hole. They don't really get bowed. Mm-hmm. Do you want me to explain what we're going to do here? Yeah. We're going to put it all in the hole. Yeah. We're going to put it all in the hole. You can put it in the hole. Yeah. If you want to get closer so they can see how it's going to be. Yeah? You're a big fan of yours. Huh? You're not a big fan of yours. No, it's just fine. Just do it. We'll catch you. The same style comfort clubs again. Okay. The decision is to whether you can definitely set for one. Okay. It's just something that's particular to the EVM team. But they do send three on each flight. One is a backup. In case they have problems with one or the other. EV2, LTA disconnect locked. Verification. We're going to shoot a picture with Mike. Down Count Carey's position. Chin, Mike. You got your belly? My sister and my brother. EV2, Count Carey's down. That's your position. EV2, Count Carey's down. Mike Williams, our position. Good afternoon, Ellen and Franklin, this is Bill. Maria, how do you hear me? I'm clear, Franklin. Okay, caught up on Mike. A little more? Oh, that's fine. That's good. Thank you. EV1, EV2, closed or down to locked. EV2, closed or down to locked. All right, let's check the following hardware. The fittings installed are locked, too. EV1, too, where are the fittings installed? Wrist rings are in locked position. EV1, those strings are in locked position. EV2, wrist rings are in locked position. Body seal closure in locked position. EV1, bodies of closures are in locked position. EV2, bodies of closure are in locked position. All right, we'll do this one at a time. On EV1, reduce air flow. EV1, the air flow is reduced. On EV1, down helmet EV1. Catch weights. EV2 helmet down to locked. Increase air flow, there's 7 SCFM on EV2. All right, on EV1, let's go ahead for suit front pressure adjustment. Set the double pin to 3.5. A year award on EV1. Suit for integrity. Can you hear me, safety divers? Okay, I'm on backup now. Safety divers, can you hear me? How about you, Ellen? Loud and clear. Franklin? Loud and clear. Thank you. I know the bubbles look suites. EV1, to go. EV2, go. All right, safety divers, release shoulder strap. Release backpack from Downing Station. Safety divers, take the subjects down for final ballasting and heads up position. And EV2 would like to be weighed out in the horizontal. Would you come back, Ellen? What did you say? Get out horizontally. You ready to come out and take a look? I'm ready. Thermal covered open. Okay. And you're clear degress, Franklin. Right. And the sunshine comes in. Okay, when you're clear enough there, Franklin, you can get to the tether reels. To see... That's it, that's correct. This is the correct roll. Yes. Okay. Then we're gonna put the right waist tethers on the tether reels. Okay. Can we get this off, Franklin? Yeah. Okay. Turner did real well, you know, with Joe, you sort of just moved him around. I'm gonna roll off to the back. Let me know how you can get your main workstation secured there, Ellen. There's a couple, three more things we've got to get out of that tool, out of that PSA. Okay. Stand by. I'll have it done in a sec. Maybe. I'm gonna hang on to you, Ellen, for a sec. Okay? Yeah, actually that would be good, Franklin. Then I can, because I'm not tethered down here. You're not? Uh-uh. Not here. Except, uh, my tools are falling out of my tool cabinet. It's a 1G problem. Yeah, I know, but it's some money to watch here. Oh, yeah, that's nice. You really get a good view of where you're going, you know? Yeah, this is the way to do it. Besides, it looks great in the movies, too. I always bump my head otherwise, because I can't ever see where I'm going. My colleague's got the IMAX camera up in the other windows. It's gonna look great on the 40 by 80-foot screen. Just stick it on there somewhere. Okay. I'm gonna borrow this guy. I'm being told that if you do about a 90-degree turn, which that looks like about what you're doing, I think it takes somewhere between 35 and 40 of those to get it all the way up to 29. And we've got a camera and a protractor. It looks like it's moving nice and smooth. Good work. Give it another one to see what it looks like. Yeah, one more. It's right on the line. Is that it? Yeah, hold it. Okay, what's the plan after that? And we're gonna send you around back up the port side there to cut the umbilical release lanyards. And Franklin will stay there to crank it up after you've got the lanyard cut. Okay. How about taking this wrench, Franklin? So I'm gonna go around the other way and go down underneath. That's correct. Okay. See if I can get there without breaking the camera. And now we do carry the 530 seconds. Allen Driver is a backup tool in case we cannot cut that. We cannot bolt that from the Ford ASC. And it shouldn't be too hard to cut. You don't want to get real close to the end of it just because the center of that rod is gonna have a plug in it. So get about 6 to 10 inches back on it. It's not important that we cut it right at the very end. I think it's cut. I have to do is get it off. There we go. Good job, Franklin. You just passed the diamonds on the protractor, which Shannon reminds me is where the minimum safety point is. Okay. Macaulay's got all the targeting in, so he's joined me here to watch you out the window. Says you're doing a great job. I'm not missing anything. We're out over the... We're almost over coming over Africa. See, you might see some lightning. We're still over the Atlantic Ocean. Probably one or two more turns, Franklin. I'll let you know. Okay. That's good, right there. Go ahead and lock it back in, please. Okay. And put the pit pin in and then remove the wrench.

Another week of trading is over at the New York Stock Exchange. It was a tumultuous day for the market. The Dow closed down roughly 1,000 points following a massive sell-off. The S&P 500 and the Tech Heavy Nasdaq suffered losses as well. Both indexes fell more than 3 percent. Investors are of course reacting to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's remarks at an economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He signaled the Fed would likely continue to raise interest rates. Melissa Armo joins us now. She is owner and founder of the Stock Shrews. Now, Melissa, thanks for joining us. Jerome Powell acknowledges that fighting inflation is going to cause some economic pain to American families. So what's your reaction to his remarks today? Did anything surprise you? I think the market was very surprised because there was a possibility. I think people thought that maybe they would only bump rates up maybe a half a percent in the next quarter. And as it seems, his statements today were very, very strong that they're going to do everything they can in order to curb inflation, even if it means raising rates all the way up to 4 percent, which essentially for consumers would mean, just for an example, today's 30-year mortgage rate is around 6.8. So if they continue to raise rates where the federal funds rate is at 4, mortgage rates could be 8.5 percent for people within the next 6 to 12 months. And that will be shocking to people. I mean, some people who are adults that are working people, paying bills right now, have never seen interest rates like this. Well, as economists debate whether we are already in a recession or just close to one, if the Fed does raise interest rates in September, are you concerned about a sustained economic downturn in the near future? I definitely think that it's going to halt some of the economic growth. He also, Fed Chairman Powell, also mentioned that today. He said, be prepared, the economy is slowed down. Again, the Fed's job is to control inflation and also look at unemployment. Well, unemployment has been low. Remember, there's more jobs out there right now than we have people to fulfill them. I don't understand why anyone thinks it would be good to have lower productivity, but apparently the Fed thinks this is the only way to get a handle on inflation. Personally, I think it's going to make the problem worse. What happened really is we kept interest rates too low for too long. Now they're going to go the opposite direction and go too far and raise them too fast, too quickly. I think they should temper it a bit, slow it down, maybe a quarter or a half a bump between now and the end of the year. Instead, if they raise at 75 basis points or even a point, again, it could push into a problem where people are going to have a problem paying their bills. People are not going to go out and refinance. People are not going to buy homes. Again, all of these things affect the economy. He's preparing basically in the statement today, he prepared for the fact that companies may need to lay people off. We may have a problem where we don't have as many job openings. That's actually not good for businesses. We don't want people to be laid off. We don't want people to pay more for stuff. Part of the reason we have high cost for things is really down to one thing. And one thing only, it's the cost of diesel fuel, oil. Everything that we buy gets to us in trucks and cars. And so food prices are up because the cost of fuel is up. And until we get the cost of fuel down, they can raise interest rates to 10% if they want. It's not going to stop the cost of inflation of all these things that we buy on a regular basis, and particularly the gas that we used to get around every day. Well, you talk about fuel costs. Powell also said that he wants to bring inflation down to 2% in the long term. Is that a realistic goal in your opinion? And if so, how long is it going to take for us to get there? Sure, it's a realistic go long term. I mean, it could be three to five years. Three to five years is a long time for people that need jobs, need to pay their bills. And remember, we're coming out of COVID. We're coming out of this terrible time. People want to get out. People want to do things. People do want to spend money. People need to go to work. We don't want to overpay for stuff. And you don't want people living paycheck to paycheck. So sure, that's a great goal. It's a fabulous goal. But again, he's trying to get there too quick, too fast. It's not necessary. We could be hurting the problem and hurting the economy even more so when we are ready to hurt the economy, when we shut it down in 2020 because of COVID. Let things just get back to normal a little bit. They're so worried about preventing a recession. Of course, some people say we are in one. I don't think it matters if people say we're in one or we're in one or we're not in one. Everybody knows if you go to the store, you know and you see what you're paying for stuff right now. And it looks like things could potentially cost more. And I think that that's problematic. And I think that, again, five years out is great. The next presidential election is 2024. Things always turn around when you have a new person in the White House unless, of course, Biden runs again, which is an unknown factor. That's a long time right now, though, for everyday people. It's just too far off. His goal is realistic, but he's trying to get there in 12 months by the end of 2023. And I think that's crazy. All right, Melissa Armo. Thanks for joining us. Many Instagram users are concerned about their privacy after an I-

Welcome to MOOC course on Introduction to Proteogenomics. Analysis of large data set is tedious and time consuming process. Data can be stored in large spaces available on the internet called cloud storage. Rather than using the local computers or clusters, data can be analyzed using cloud computing. In today's lecture, Dr. D. R. Mani will introduce you to the basic idea of cloud computing. This lecture will also provide you an idea of the workflows involved in automating data analysis and the processing steps. So, let us welcome Dr. Mani for his today's session. So, if you take a standard computer, let us say a laptop or a desktop that you have and you connect hundreds or thousands of them together and you have an operating system that can use all of them efficiently and you have a network that is so fast that you can move data from one laptop to another without having to get a coffee break in the middle, then you basically have a supercomputer. So, there were several types of supercomputers that were built in the last like several decades, but of late they are all converging towards basically what you can call a rack of computers. So, you take a lot of computers basically motherboards, the boards that go into your computer, you stick them into a big rack, connect them with a very fast network and then you have an operating system that can take jobs or tasks that are assigned by that are being issued by users and then efficiently spread them across all the computers. So, that is basically a current day equivalent of a supercomputer. It is a lot cheaper than building a custom one, but it is still expensive because the networks and disks have to be really fast to keep up with a lot of the computing. So, a lot of the major institutions and research centers started having their own computers. Many times they are called grid computing environments because you connect the computers in a big grid and then you have a job scheduler or an operating system that can dispatch jobs to the grid and you would be able to have a lot of users run many programs. So, let us say you have prodigy that you saw the other day and you want like 50 people using it at once. Obviously, if you run it on one server it is not going to work and so, you set it up on a computer you give it like maybe 50 processors so, that every time a user submits a job it goes to a different processor. So, that is automatically taken care of by the user. So, people started building systems like that so, they are called local clusters or local grid computers. So, the broad had one with about 3000 nodes in them. So, it had 3000 processors and you could submit your genome alignment job and if it needed five processors it will get five processors and it would run it on those. But as people started doing this it became more and more expensive to maintain them. There are a lot of computing nodes you have there is a lot of hard disk and the other stuff you need to track and keep operational and you need to constantly keep upgrading as computers become faster and disk drives become faster and so, it is an expensive operation for each research institution to kind of maintain and have these available. So, the latest trend was there are some companies in the world that have so much computing that they can basically rent computing to anybody who wants to do any kind of computation. So, Google is one of them. So, Google has an extensive infrastructure for parallel computing with a lot of storage because they crawl the entire internet and index everything that there is on it. And so, that requires a lot of computing and a lot of space and they built a very large computing system to deal with it, but then they are not using it 100 percent of the time. So, they figured we have this idle now and then why do not we start kind of renting it to other people so, they can use it. So, Amazon did the same thing Amazon has an extensive computing infrastructure that they have for their business. It started off as a computing environment for their business, but slowly as other people started using it and found it to be very useful and actually significantly cheaper than your own IT department maintaining your cluster or grid computer people started using those systems more and more and now they have their own infrastructure for just providing computing to people who want to use it. So, these kind of systems where you have a lot of computing and disk space, lot of computing power and disk space available that you access through the internet is called a cloud computer. So, it is the cloud because the internet is usually represented as a cloud when you are drawing a network diagram of computers. You always draw the internet as a cloud because it there is no specific connections that you can. So, if you connect your laptop to your neighbor's laptop then you can say computer 1, computer 2 and draw a line between them, but the internet is a set of connections that basically are generated on demand and you do not know what goes where. So, you generally draw it as a cloud. And so, computing systems that you access using the internet are called cloud computing systems. There are two or three very big ones. One is Amazon obviously, Amazon system is called AWS, Google has one which is called the Google cloud computing platform. I think Microsoft has one called Azure I think, but Google and Microsoft or the sorry Google and Amazon are the really big ones that pretty much everybody uses. So, the concept there is they have a large parallel computing system that they that Google maintains and when you want to do some computation you basically rent whatever you want. So, you say I want 10 computing nodes to run my job for 5 hours. You get that, you finish your job, you pay whatever it costs like a few dollars and then you are done. You do not need to pay them anything else. So, you do not need to maintain it, you do not need to upgrade it. If things go wrong, you do not need to fix it, Google will do everything for you. And they will maintain a large enough set of nodes that you can basically get very large computers on demand. And so, when these things started becoming available, a lot of kind of genomic, proteomic and proteogenomic computing started to move over to the cloud. So, there is a big difference in kind of how you think about analysis now. So, previously you had all your data on your laptop, people you wrote algorithms, you got the algorithms to your computer. So, your data was fixed, you brought your algorithms to wherever the data was and you ran them. Now, the algorithms are in the cloud. So, you have to take your data to the cloud. So, it is kind of a paradigm shift in the sense that you now kind of move your data to the cloud and then do the analysis there. So, there is costs for storing data, there is cost for getting data out. The most expensive part of cloud computing is if you want to get data out of the cloud because they want it to be there. So, you can, they can charge you for storage and they can charge you for computing. But if you take it out, then there is the cost of taking it out is many times more than actually doing the computation. But that is how they have set up the infrastructure. But the bottom line is you can now have algorithms that are deployed on the cloud. It could be what you have developed, many times other people make their algorithms available. You take your data, you put it there and then you analyze it and you get results, you download the results and then you can look at them. So, that is kind of the basic 5-minute overview of what cloud computing is and how you use it. So, some of the advantages here other than the maintenance and cost I mentioned is that a lot of these are set up to provide a lot of parallelism. So, if you want like a machine learning algorithm that is very compute intensive, then you can recruit 100 or 200 or 1000 nodes, do your algorithm runs very fast or however long it takes and then release the nodes. So, it is on demand, it is very flexible and it provides a lot of kind of flexibility in terms of how you use computing and what algorithms you use. So, what I am going to go through here is at the broad we have this platform called FireCloud. I will go through what FireCloud is and how it is deployed on the Google Cloud. So, the cloud computing platform that FireCloud is written on is the Google Cloud Computing platform. So, I will kind of go through how it is done and how you can create pipelines for analyzing all kinds of data using FireCloud and so, when you use FireCloud you are essentially using the Google Cloud computing platform. And I will just at the end of it I will spend a few minutes to show a kind of a hand demo where we have put a lot of the proteogenomics tools on FireCloud. I called it a demo and not a hands on because as of now the workspaces and the algorithms are not accessible to everyone, they will be soon, but right now they are kind of private because we are still developing and the broad wants to make sure we know what kind of license we are going to use and things like that before we make it public. But it should be available to the public very soon and I will just give you a demo. It is kind of a teaser for what you can do in the near future. I want to kind of acknowledge that the set of slides you see was created by people in Gaddy Getsis group at the Broad Institute. So, he does a lot of genomic data analysis and FireCloud the primary use for FireCloud when it started was for genomic data analysis. So, they created these slides and I am just modifying or adapting them for this presentation. So, I want to kind of acknowledge that these are their slides. So, first of all when you are doing a lot of analysis. So, you are going to write a paper that does a lot of proteogenomic analysis for example, that uses proteomics, phosphoproteomics, whole genome, whole exome, RNA-seq, you are combining all that data, you are doing a lot of analysis. You can try to do it in Excel, but at the end of it you will be so confused on what you did that you can try the method section and if you did nobody can replicate it. So, usually when you do large scale big projects like that which involve a lot of analysis with many different pieces you generally write code. So, you write a script that says this is my initial data set I did this filtering and then I did this imputation and then I did this test and then I visualized it with a heat map or something like that. So, there are many different like paths, analysis paths for different types of data there is a lot of analysis you do. And one easy way to kind of document all of that is to write code. When you write code what the algorithms are doing and what data processing you are doing is extremely clear. So, you generally write code and the so here script basically means is code in many different languages when you have code that is interpreted and you write line by line it is called a script. If you write a big chunk of code and then run it in a compiled language like Java or C then it is called code, but if you write in R you would call an R program a script. So, when I say script I mean like a program. So, the advantage of writing something like that is that in the breast cancer project for example, what happened was we did some set of analysis people looked at all the results and said oh this data has to be preprocessed in a different way what we did now is it is not quite right. And so, you go and make a change now you have to re-run all the analysis you did because the basic data changed. So, you have to repeatedly run your analysis many times and also if you make it general enough you can run it on other types of cancers too whatever analysis we did for the breast cancer you could have done it for the other cancers also. So, that is kind of the concept behind writing a script so that you can automate your processing. So, if you have a script all you need or you need to specify what your inputs are and then the whole thing will run and all the analysis will get done. So, it helps you automate repetitive tasks. So, you do not need to keep doing it and if people do repetitive things they generally tend to make mistakes because the brain is not tuned to repeating the same thing over and over again. You can increase reproducibility and someone else can see what you did without having to kind of bug you and you trying to remember what was done. And so, you can reduce human error and you can re-implement sorry you can reduce time spent on re-implementing. So, suppose you have an analysis method that you have in a big pipeline you can give it to someone else and the ovarian cancer group can use your pipeline and do the same analysis on their data without having to rewrite everything again. So, that is kind of the advantages of using automated scripts for data analysis. So, there are a lot of ways to take a script and make it into a pipeline. So, this is like a humorous thing where the situation is that there are 14 competing standards. So, there are let us say 14 competing pipelines and then they they say you have 14 that is ridiculous. And one that kind of combines the features from all of them and so, now we have 15 competing standards. So, there are already many tools for writing pipelines and kind of using them, but I guess the point I am trying to make is that we have one more and we think ours is better like everybody else. So, the way the scripts are written in in this fire cloud environment is basically in a human readable form. So, many times you there are environments where you can graphically write a script. So, there will be a box for doing data filtering there will be a box for doing data normalization. So, you lay out all these boxes and then connect them with arrows and that is your pipeline. So, there are tools that do that, but the problem with those is if you want to rerun them with a different data set for example, or you want to change your threshold from 5 to 3 like you did in your art program yesterday. You have to open the thing you have to click it you have to go to the right box and make the change. So, it is not prone to higher levels of automation. Suppose you wanted to loop through 5 different thresholds like we did yesterday, then you would have to go to the user interface chain make the changes 5 times and then rerun it would not it be nice if you could just do that in yet another program that actually calls your pipeline. So, in order to automate things like that you want your pipeline to be defined in a way that is also automatable. And so, here what we do is we use a language called WDL it is pronounced riddle and it stands for workflow description language. What that does is there is a definition of a workflow. So, there are some input variables that you can give when you call the workflow and then there are several tasks that the workflow executes. So, it starts with task A does whatever is needed for task A and then goes on to task B. The nice thing about this is the output of task A can now become inputs for task B. So, that is how you chain your things together. If you had a task C the output of task A could go to task C and skip task B. In that case you know that task A and B can be executed in parallel because they do not have any dependencies. So, what the language does is it says let me draw out my graph. If things are not dependent on the previous thing being run I can run them in parallel. So, if you have task A, B and C and C requires input which is the output of task A then it is going to run A and B in parallel. And as soon as A is done it will start C it will not wait for B to stop. So, it provides some kind of inherent parallelism to run things which are not dependent on each other separately and so, it speeds up your pipeline execution too. So, once you have defined your workflow you have to define what your tasks are. And so, here is an example of how a task would look. So, task again has inputs there is a command. So, remember a lot of these things are based on tools that were written for the command line and in order to put it into the into Whittle and use it in FireCloud you have to be able to run your algorithm or task or method using command line invocation. So, you say what command you need to use in order to run task A. The other thing here which says where do I run this task is the cool there is another kind of recent technological concept that is now permeating how people write software. How many of you have heard of dockers? Couple of them, ok. So, I think there are more slides that kind of go into that in more detail, but basically where the thing is run is in a docker and then it creates some output. So, once the output is there other tasks that are run afterwards can use that output. So, that is kind of the overall concept of how a workflow is written in FireCloud. So, this is the thing about dockers. So, dockers are basically conceptually containers. So, what you do is there is this kind of environment called docker. So, you have to download the software environment install it on your computer and then the concept is that suppose so, all of you saw how much we struggled with getting the versions and stuff right for the prodigy hands on because we started with 3.5, it did not work we went back to 3.4 and then to 3.5 and every time we made a change you had to go and make the change in your computer and pretty soon it got annoying that you had to reinstall R so many times. A nicer way to do that would have been to create a docker. So, here what we do is a conceptually we create like a container that says this container is going to contain all the software that I want to run my program and it will contain everything in the right versions. So, you start a docker and then you say I need R version 3.5 you put in R version 3.5 and then you say I need these 15 libraries. So, you put in all the 15 libraries you need then let us say Java to run something else and a specific version of Java you can put in that. So, you put all those and then you create a new container. Now, instead of asking you to download prodigy on your computer and install R and this and that what we are going would have done if we had a docker is to say download the docker. So, just like you can put code on github you can put docker containers that you have created on a repository called docker hub. So, what we would have done in the ideal case is create a container for prodigy put it on docker hub and say everybody in the class go to docker hub and download this container. If you had done that you would not have to worry about versions it will run on your computer because it has been set up to run the correct way all you needed to do was download the docker and give your data as input. So, that is kind of the concept here in a lot of the cloud computing frameworks what people do is use dockers to make it platform independent. So, you have a docker that runs on the Google cloud you can take the docker and run it on Amazon cloud or you can take the docker and run it on your laptop it will run anywhere docker containers can be executed and that is most operating systems and computers. So, what we are trying to show here is that there is a common operating system and on the operating system you can create containers. So, this one is for our proteogenomic data analysis container this is for GATK to do genome analysis this is for some other alignment and so far. So, you can create dockers on a common kernel and this kernel will be made available by the company or the institution that supports the docker platform. So, they will make a common kernel available you can modify the kernel by adding stuff that is specific for your application and then you create a container and now that is your docker for that application. And so, in this workflow what you are doing in the runtime is your you take the command and you execute that command in a docker that contains the algorithm that you have written. So, this makes it very easy to kind of encapsulate things and if you want to replace your algorithm with a new version all you have to do is replace the docker with a new version or update your docker and then you will have the new version in there. Any questions so far? No the dockers are you can make changes, but the good thing is when you make a change you create a new version and so, let us say you published your paper with version one of this docker. Now, you realize that I can actually do this much faster by changing some computation that I do. So, you do that and you create version two of your docker. Now, both versions can be kept around you can say I will keep my version one around just in case somebody who is looking at the paper wants to run what I did, but I for most users I want to use my new version because it runs much faster. So, you can keep a version of this method that uses the old docker and create a new version that uses the new docker or you can say I do not care it is the same thing it just runs faster I am just going to replace it then you can replace the docker with your new version. So, you can do either way and dockers are not like written in stone you can modify them you can create newer versions and you can take what you have and add more things if you want. Any other questions? So, when you download the docker you have to specify what version you want. I think the default is if you do not specify any version you will get the latest version, but if you want a older version you have to specify which version you want. So, just like in code right. So, you can have code that is version one. So, windows for example, you have windows 10.5 or macOS 10.5, but you could have a older version which was 10.3 for some specific applications you may want to do that. For example, in the lab tour yesterday we saw a peptide sequencing machine that was running off a Mac that is about 20 years old. I am sure that can't run the new version of the operating system. So, you would need a old version. So, you could have dependencies like that. Did that answer your question or? So, in the docker if you just want to add something extra you can add something extra, but it is still a new docker because you modified the old one. So, it will be considered a new version. So, if you think the change was simple enough that you do not need the old version anymore you can throw it away and just replace it with the new version. In today's lecture you are introduced to the terminology used to describe automated data processing workflows. Key advantages of automated data processing involve reduction of error, time and cost. You are also introduced to the concept of dockers which contain all the relevant versions of softwares and files needed for data analysis. And lastly, you learnt about how the workflow definition language can be used to provide parallelism and faster speed in cloud computing. The next lecture will focus on FireCloud, a cloud computing platform from the broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Thank you.

This article discusses the provision of mental health services in low and middle-income countries, LMICs, with a view to understanding the cultural dynamics how the challenges they pose can be addressed and the opportunities harnessed in specific cultural contexts. The article highlights the need for prioritization of mental health services by incorporating local population and cultural needs. This can be achieved only through political will and strength and legislation, improved resource allocation and strategic organization, integrated packages of care underpinned by professional communication and training, an involvement of patients, informal carers and the wider community in a therapeutic capacity. This article was authored by Shania Rothode, Nassima Pininti, Muhammad Yafan and others.

I appreciate that Thank you Sean ended up with the last spot mojo before we ended up pulling teams for those random number blocks Here are the results here for the Philadelphia Denver one, etc. Etc. Here's the results for the Chicago, Kansas City one I upload all of those random number blocks No, I did not upload the Chicago one. Let me just do that really quick. All right now Let's pop this case open and let's see what we can find in here Those all hits on the bottom. No, that's a numbered card on the bottom. All right, and I'll use one of these blank cards to Slow play some of the hits a little bit right there. They're say quam Barkley 42 out of 50 for David B and the Giants and a four out of five Joe Namath So out of fives and under of course get the train whistled and that's for Petrie and the Jets There you go. All aboard the big hit Express. Whoo. Whoo. There's Adam Thielen 44 out of 75 and We've got a rookie landscape autograph 19 out of 49 Mac Jones Patriots were picked up straight up by gale. There you go gale and a award winners autograph mean Joe Green Your 1974 defensive player of the year David B with the Steelers patch auto Calvin Ridley one out of 35 for Brody menace Falcons We got a two-color dual relic four out of 75. That's Kine in wangwu for the Vikings. That's gonna go to Steve Locke and back here is Terris Marshall Jr. One out of 25 two-color patch and autograph for Carolina Carolina is a number block team part of that Philadelphia group. So that goes to Carolina one Which will be for Brett first box in the books second box and there's the case hit which we will save For the end. Yeah, Brody. I agree with you, man Calvin really plays next year that that opens up Opens up the field for everybody. All right, there's Austin Eckler 24 out of 75 for the Charger Sean Mattick 15 out of 50 miles Garrett For the Browns Browns are a number block team also part of that Philadelphia group Goes to Mark the number five Then we've got Jameen Davis three out of 60 rookie autograph for the Washington football team Also part of that Philadelphia random number block group. So that'll go to Washington three that'll be for CvH And we've got a Gardner Minshew one out of 35 two-color patch and on-card autograph Still Jaguars edition here Sean Mattick picked up the Jags straight up Nick Bolton Rookie autograph 10 out of 49 That is for Kansas City Kansas City is a number block team and that's part of the Chicago group. So that goes to Kansas City zero That'll be for Tim Zero and we got a Marshall Fock canvas creations Autograph he's pretty good two out of 15 for the Rams That's for Aaron Trends setter and the Ramley gets the old-school Marshall Fock nice down here is Jalen waddle Rookie landscape autograph for Miami 78 out of 99 and Miami is a number block team part of the Chicago group. Let's see the eight right there 78 out of 99 so Miami eight is for Is for Hans there you go Hans All right third and final box. That's a plate down there You can see the rounded corner Telltale sign of a plate maybe an auto on there, too All right, there is Khalil Mack 54 out of 75 bears Bears for Is gonna be for Tim 36 out of 50 Xavier and Howard Miami six Will be for Adam cuperman. That's two out of 35 Christian McCaffrey Carolina two It's for the Philadelphia group.

That looks pretty cool Six out of 75 for the nine or Sean Maddock with San Francisco. I don't think no, uh, no Elijah Mitchell It's Trey Sermon healthy. Will he be getting some carries? Maybe Nice looking card a couple more here than the case it Nashi Harris patch auto nine out of 99 Pittsburgh that'll be for David B and the Steelers That's your first one of one. Congrats, man The last one is Kyle Trask. That is for Sean Maddock A bit of orange peeking up there. That's pretty cool. Kyle Trask seven out of 25 Could be the future after after Tom Brady. All right now. Let's see what's in here We haven't seen a gold piece yet. That could be pretty awesome Silver and this piece of fine fine silver is for Dallas Some fine fine silver the NFL Shield stamped on there. That's pretty cool 10 out of 20 Dallas Cowboys Dallas is a number block team It's the back of the card right there too A little bit of I don't know what happened there But Dallas zero Dallas zero is gonna be Part of the Chicago number block group And that's for tim with a spot that he won. There you go, tim. You got the case hit Thanks, everybody. I'm joe for jazzy's case breaks.com.

Alright, so I'm running the Numix theme on my Ubuntu desktop and I'll show you real quick how to install that now the first thing We need to install the unit the unity tweak tool because that makes it easy to manage all the themes and icons and do some customization I'll put these commands to in the bottom of the comments So it's a sudo apt-get install unity tweak tool I already have the latest version because I actually already went through and installed that Then the next thing you do is add the PPA for the Numix So now we have to add the PPA. I'll just copy and paste it in So it's sudo apt-ad repository PPA Numix PPA All right, and anytime you add a PPA we got to run a sudo apt-get update Then to actually install it sudo apt-get install GTK theme now we also got to install the icon theme and they have the circle or the square one We'll go with the circle one All right now we can open up the tweak tool Go to theme and I have a couple of themes in here But this is like the default radiance theme or ambience theme is actually the out-of-the-box default And then here are the Numix themes. I also have another one called Ark installed One of the things I like when you're going through the themes. It's actually it's instant There's just like that quick pause and it just does it it switches everything out So we'll go ahead and leave this at the Numix daily Now if you want you can also play with the icon. So there's the standard Numix icons We also have the Numix circle circle light icons Numix light and you can see them all in the bar over here They're kind of changing around the circle ones are pretty cool Now if you want we can close this what the other option was to install the Numix Theme with the square icon. So let's install that to square Put those ones in to show you what those look like open up the tweak tool icons and See circle And there's the square ones kind of same that literally just square But that's it for installing the Numix theme really easy the tweak tool lets you Add these and once they're added you can start playing around and play with each little piece of it for You know so you can customize it so you can use the Numix theme for that and a different cursors Definitely makes it a little bit prettier. I like I like these a lot better than the standard icons They got that flat material design look that I like that Android came up with and that's it That's how you install the tweak tool in a new mix. Oh, um, if you want to if I had someone asked me before I have the magic lamp setting in here And you do that under general so you go here to general and you can choose the different Ways you want it to minimize and maximize Some of them don't work so well because my graphics card to kind of hey But the wavy one is pretty neat actually what you don't see because I got three screens I'm only recording the middle when I do the wavy one It actually goes off the screen onto the other and back over to here Wow, what it minimizes, which is pretty cool. So yeah, that's a quick overview just how to install that real You know neat little neat little theme give it really gives it a bunch of a much better look I think to have it set up like that. All right. Thanks if you like the content here like and subscribe You

Surya Varanasi | EMC World 2013

Surya Varanasi, Vice President of Engineering EMC- with Dave Vellante and David Floyer at
EMC World 2013 - theCUBE
Surya Varanasi, Vice President of Engineering at EMC, joined theCube hosts Dave Floyer and John Furrier at the recently concluded EMC World to talk about the storage firm's recently launched entity, the ViPR Group.
In November 2011, Surya Varanasi was the first employee of Project Born. Back then the biggest trend was converting storage to a private cloud and taking things to the next level, offering this service to service providers.
Initially Project Born started out as Storage OS, an underlying platform. The plan was to build a platform that could do two things: provide automation and meet the demands for new data systems that people wanted. The name wasn't representative for the daring project so, after a brainstorm, Project Born was the official choice of the team.
The difference between the incipient Storage OS, as a platform, and the ViPR of today, is that ViPR is no longer a platform; it is rather a layer that can sit on top of any platform.
"We try to provide services that are written on top of our platform, across all the physical infrastructure," declared Surya Varanasi.
The main aspect that the hosts focused on was the importance of separating the control plane from the data plane. Functionally, everything that a company does for storage management starts from provisioning its replication, backup, considering the net route and how to program it, the host, the storage -- basically the entire life cycle.
2 challenges ViPR addresses
From his experience, Surya Varanasi identified two challenges when it came to talking to customers. The first was related to the fact that the customers purchased best of breed equipment, which also provided solutions that worked for everybody. However, managing them was extremely complicated.
The first need of the customer is providing automation and simplification of data management. The second need pertains to new data servers. Customers are often confused about the number of solutions they actually need. That's where EMC comes in, because the company aims to provide a single place where customers can do both.
"Wherever we can, the hardware underlying infrastructure, we try to leverage it. If it's not possible, then we'll try to augment that with services of our own. We provide a common set of APIs on the system, so customers can provide the same services across all the infrastructure", says Varanasi.
ViPR is a software solution, not a hardware offering, running on a virtual machine. When compared to other solutions, it stands out because those are platforms that provide automation stacks whereas ViPR provides a storage platform that plugs into all of these stacks.
As for who will adopt this service, the answer is simple: large enterprises as well as services providers. ViPR works for anyone who has heterogeneous environments and who wants to simplify how they consume storage.
Right now, EMC focuses on two aspects: helping customers manage today, and providing solutions for tomorrow.
ViPR is still in the process of pricing.

This is Dave Vellante, we're here at day two EMC World 2013. This is the cube where we extract the signal from the noise. We bring you the best guests that we can find. We like to talk about tech athletes. I'm here with David Floyer, the CTO of Wikibon, my personal tech athlete, and Syria Varanasi, who is the vice president of engineering at EMC. Within the new software-defined storage group, the Viper group, you were employee number one, I understand, of Project Born. You were essentially brought in to really get that project started, right? Yes, yes, I was. I was hired in from VMware to start this project. Yeah, okay, so let's take us back to the beginning. When was this now? We talked about a couple years ago? November 2011. November 2011, so. What was the language that was even used back then? Was it software-defined storage? Was it, hey, we have this idea? What do you think? Take us back to the instantiation. So back then, we were looking at two trends. The biggest trends we were looking at was, we had heterogeneous storage that we have in the enterprise, and we were thinking about what does it take to convert that to a private cloud? What does automation mean? And then we were thinking about taking objects to the next level and what do we need to do to actually provide that service to service providers? So those were the big focuses, if you will. Okay, so the name, Project Born, was it, wait a minute, for that's Jason Born. Is that right? It is, it is Jason Born. Okay, so it's a deadly killer. It's all, it's stealth. It's very efficient and adaptable. Those are the characteristics that you guys, it's survivable, right? That's right. Okay, so then, so EMC brought you on from VMware. How did Project Born evolve into Viper? So you know, before it started off being born, it started off being Storage OS. The underlying platform, if you will, on which you can lay on services. So a plan from the very beginning was to actually build a platform that does two things, provide automation and think about new data services that people want. So you know, along the way we thought, okay, Storage OS, that's very blah. We need a new name. So we had a lottery, if you will, on names and Project Born was the official name that we ran under. So that's how it came about. Because there are Storage OSes out there today, right? So what's different about Viper as a Storage OS, if you will, as a platform, than every day run of the mill Storage OS of which EMC has a number of them? For one thing, we're not tied to any platform. So we sit as a layer about any platform. We're completely on software. We manage a whole bunch of heterogeneous arrays that have their own OSes on it. And what we actually do with the platform is we try to provide services that can leverage services that are written on top of our platform across all the physical infrastructure. So that's the big focus for us. So we're actually not buried inside any system, if you will. Okay, so now your baby is born and you're seeing this product come to market. David Floyer and I were trying to, again, unpack Viper yesterday. So you talk about separating the control plane from the data plane. Why is that important? And what does that bring for your customers? So there's two challenges that we see when we go into and talk to customers. The first is they buy Best of Breed equipment today. And Best of Breed could be EMC arrays, third-party arrays, who knows what they buy. What ends up happening is they actually provide solutions that work for everybody, but managing this is extremely complicated. So the first need for the customers, can I provide automation to make it simple to manage existing infrastructure? That's the first big push for us. The second thing is, as you've heard throughout the conference here, people want to know, hey, yes, we have block and file and we consume that, we know what to do, it's complicated, but okay, I understand what to do. For things like the new data services, Bead object, Bead HDFS, how do we adapt? What do we need to do? How many solutions do we need? So we wanted to provide a single place where you can do both, and that's fundamentally... So, why? So do you want to jump in there? Yeah, sure. So you provide a set of services at that layer. So the automation and provisioning and all of that is at that layer. So where do you draw the line? For example, you could put replication there, or you could put send provisioning there, or you could put ODF from Microsoft there. Where do you draw the line between a service which you would expect to see, like for example replication, and would be useful? So for example, you take Invista, that had the services, common services for all the stuff that were underneath the virtualized level. So, what's your thinking about that? So the first piece of the puzzle for us, if you will, is physical infrastructure already contains appliances, if you will, where we can solve similar problems, right? You've mentioned Invista. So we have Vplex, which does the same thing. It sits in the path and it's an HA product. Yeah, it doesn't do much of the services, though, does it? It leaves that. But you're just giving an example of an appliance. That's right. So you have Vplex, which is actually a storage array, but it also provides these services about HA and availability. You have things like Recovery Point that provide us data protection you can copy from an array to another array. So wherever we can, the hardware underlying infrastructure, we try to leverage it. If it's not possible to leverage it, then we'll try to augment that with services of our own. That's the first piece of it. The second thing is, you know, we have solutions that actually provide consistency to applications and so on for individual physical arrays. So we provide a common set of APIs on the system so you can provide the same services across all the infrastructure, right? So that's what we do. So to answer your question specifically, do we draw a line anywhere? Not really, but we try our best to leverage what we have to get the best possible solution. But for example, snapshots will be, to me, quite a good thing to have above the line. Absolutely. To be the same across. So we provide a snapshot API. Okay. And when you take a snapshot against a Viper controller, the snapshot is implemented across any of the physical arrays that we support. So all those solutions we provide as a single place you can consume. So I have a question on Twitter. The question is, so, just clarification, is Viper an appliance? Viper is a software solution, so you download it as an OVF on ESX. So it's not, it's a software appliance, if you will, but no software. So it's a software appliance, if you will. Okay, but it's not, it's not applied. It's no hardware. So then the obvious follow-up is, okay. And it runs on the VMware. What does it run on? It runs on a virtual machine. It runs on ESX. Right. At GA, it runs on ESX. Okay, great. So that's the sort of, you've used the earlier example of an appliance, you used Vplex or any appliance. That's the difference. It's a software-only appliance. That's right. This is fundamentally, the platform is actually just purely software. It's built for scale-out and availability and so on. And as such, you can download it from our website. That's what we built it for. Is there anything out there in the industry that is comparable in concept even? Or is this a first in your view? You know, I haven't run into any, I'd have to admit. Yeah. So what about OpenStack or things like that? I mean, there they've defined a set of services and then people come in, for example, with SolidFire and they've added some extra things. So it seems to net up a lot of service there. You're saying OpenStack is a platform with an open set of APIs that can... Yeah, with the individual, the APIs that get tweaked. So, conceptually, it sounds similar. What about that, is it? So, you know, if you think about things like OpenStack or VMware, DynamicOps, VCAC and so on, these are cloud automation stacks. They are orchestrated over compute network and storage. So, what we provide is a storage platform which plugs into these stacks. So, for example, we have a Cinder plugin with OpenStack, so you can, if you're an OpenStack user, you can actually use Viper and stitch together the compute network and storage. Yeah. Okay, right. Okay, and so where are we today and where is this evolving? So, David Goulden kind of took us through the roadmap. We had a demo, you had the CTO, UBS, gave a little demo of essentially provisioning VMAX, and then promises of object interfaces later this year and then into the roadmap in 2013, can you talk about that from a technical perspective? What, you know, align what we heard there with what you're working on? Oh yeah, so, you know, it turns out it's total alignment, luckily for us. So, we have, obviously we have VMAX that we demonstrated. We have VNX, both file and block. We support Icelon, both NFS and SIFS, and third party, we are demonstrating NetApp. That's what we have. So, just to show that, you know, customers do have heterogeneous environments and they want to automatically install all of this. So, we do support that. We will have Vplex and RecoverPoint when we go out and Object. So, we have Object running over in the Viper object interface. On the Icelon, is that? It runs on Icelon, in fact, runs on any NFS filer, if you will. And we'll support S3 and Atmos and Swift APIs. And here, we're going to be very compliant. We're going to say it's wire format compatible, so you don't need to change your applications as it should just work. So, what was the hardest part from an engineering standpoint that you had to, you know, break through to make this a reality? So, you know, as we defined it as storage OS and we went to Born and then we went to Viper, at each step of the journey, if you will, we went and talked to a customer and said, hey, here's what we have. We've solved a provisioning problem. There's like, that's only one-third of the problem. I was like, all right, what's the next one, sir? You need to go program the sand. So, we go program the sand. It's like, you left the last mile out. What's the last mile? Close the provisioning with the server. It's like, okay, we'll close the provisioning with the server. And then once you go there, they'll tell you, you know, you need to replicate or else, you know, people put data, they want to move data, do something about it. So, the hardest part for us was each time we went in with customer feedback, we just got more. And we had to take a holistic view and say, we need to get this much done to make it compelling to the customer. I think that was the hardest part for us. Yeah, so storage management and data management and volume management is hard. I mean, it takes companies decade to build that out. So, where did that IP come from? Was it a combination of new stuff that you built? Or did you pick and choose from parts of the EMC portfolio? Talk about that a little bit. So, Viper, the controller aspects are completely homegrown. We use open source components, but they're truly cloud-scale and we built it ourselves. The object piece as well is completely homegrown. We had the Atmos as a starting point, so we used the Atmos APIs, but the architecture itself was quite different. So, all of this was organic. And you've talked about it being open and all the APIs are open. Does that mean that anybody can use them? Does that? Yes. And what about the openness of the stack itself? Are you selling that? Is there a license fee for that? How's that going to go to market? So, that is a discussion best for marketing at this point. But I think at this point, we're thinking of licensing it out. So, we're thinking about various options there. Yeah, we're going to get into some of the pricing a little later on. So, and we'll, in fairness, stick to the sort of technical pieces of it. So, I wonder if we could break down a little bit more when we talk about separating the control plane from the data plane. And David, you and I talked about this a little bit last night, but so, let's focus, let's start with the control plane. What are we talking about here functionally? What are the functions that are on that side of the separation? So, it's everything that you do for storage management. So, it starts from provisioning. It starts from provisioning your replication, your backup. It starts with thinking about your network and how you program it. So, your sands starts with it. You think about your host and how you consume your storage. The entire life cycle completely. So, when we talk about the data path, we're talking about the servers of storage, IO connectivity. We're not in the data path there. Very much by choice for block and file, because some of these protocols are very latency sensitive and you don't want to insert yourself if you don't have to. So, that's the control aspect. So, you're a separate control path too. Yes, yeah. So, go ahead, David. So, you've set up all of this environment. Where do you see it being adopted, mainly? I mean, obviously the enterprise could take that as a solution for just the provisioning of storage, et cetera. There are other products out there that will do similar things to that. Where do you see it? Where are you focusing this? Is this on the enterprise? Is it on the cloud providers? Or do you see a hybrid platform with some of it on a cloud provider and some of it in the main data center? What's the, where are you selling this to? And who do you think are going to take this up? We've spoken to large enterprises as well as service providers. And I think the easiest way to think about this is anyone who has heterogeneous storage and really wants to simplify how they consume storage. That's the perfect place to use a product like Viper. So we do two things to any enterprise or a service provider. We help you manage the today and we help you provide solutions, we help you by providing solutions for the tomorrow. So we think about automation complexity and how we simplify and we think about object, your HDFS and other interfaces that you may need for your business tomorrow. So a platform like that, you can use it anywhere. We also provide, as part of the solution, a way to report across all these various different solutions, your file, your block, your object, if you will, pertinent. That's very powerful, right? That's not a solution you get every day. So honestly, heterogeneous environments where you want to use, you want to solve your complexity today and want to expand tomorrow. That's perfect. All right, Surya, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE and taking us through the story of born to Viper. Congratulations, a lot of hard work. And we'll be watching. All right, so this is theCUBE. And thank you for watching. We'll be right back with our next guest. We're live from EMC World 2013. All right, thank you.

Hey everybody, today we are debating whether or not racism is a significant problem in the US and we are starting right now. Ladies and gentlemen, thrilled to have you here for this epic debate as today we are debating whether or not racism is a significant problem for the US. We have CJ Cox with us as well as Kirby and want to let you know folks, if it's your first time here, consider hitting that subscribe button as we have many more debates to come in the future. So we are very excited, this is going to be an interesting one. I want to let you know today is a special day because 100% of the super chats today will be going to historically black colleges and university scholarships for black college students as we try to basically once a month make one stream, a charity stream and in this case kind of doing our part to try to contribute to greater equality in the US. And so with that, hopefully our lag is okay. I know the last stream we just tried to do, we had some lag. And so it's a tough one folks, sometimes it's just random and sometimes it just kind of happens like this where right now we're going to hope it keeps going smoothly as so far it looks like it's okay. And want to let you know though, both of the guests I am linking in the description. So that way if you want to hear more, well hey conveniently you can hear more at those links where I've put down there for you. And very excited. This is going to be an interesting kind of go with the flow type of format, 10 minutes from each side, followed by about 55 minutes of open conversation. And then we're going to have 30 minutes of Q&A. By the way, thanks so much of you. So I just appreciate so much. I'm traveling right now. And so the place that I am, the internet was a little bit unstable. And so I totally appreciate you guys, all the positivity and love as you guys are still here with us. We really appreciate it. And we are ready to get this going. So without any further ado, we appreciate you guys, both Kirby and CJ Cox. Thanks so much guys for being here, but just a pleasure to have you. Thank you. Thank you very much for having me. Absolutely. We will kick it over to Kirby then for his opening statement. The floor is all yours. Perfect. So is racism a significant problem in the United States? Yes. Just to quickly lay out our definitions, racism would be defined as prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that a racial group is either intrinsically superior or inferior to other racial groups. A form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions would be considered institutional racism, which is what I'm mostly going to be focusing my arguments around today. So I believe this to be the case because of a laundry list of data that I've come across. I'll open with these figures and go from there. So firstly, despite being 72% of the population, 55% of people killed in altercations with the police are white in the USA. Despite being 13% of the population, 32% of people killed in altercations with the police are black in the USA. So while most victims were armed, black victims were more likely to be unarmed at about 14.8% of that 32% than white victims. So that would be 9.4% out of that 55%. So when you do the math, when you crunch the numbers, that means that about 17% of white deaths from violent altercations with cops were unarmed compared to 46% of unarmed black deaths. Now it is true that black people do commit more crime than the average white person. But I believe this is best explained by being traced back to the issue of relative poverty, which for those who don't understand, it's basically income inequality. So you have absolute poverty and you have relative poverty. And those are sort of the two sort of like sub branches of poverty. Relative poverty is the reliable metric that most economists rely on when they're trying to deduce levels of poverty within a given society. So relative poverty would be disproportionate amongst the black people in the USA compared to the average white person, as the average black family has about one-tenth the wealth of the typical white family in the USA, with the estimated median wealth of black households being about 35,000 a year, while white households estimate their median wealth to be about 150,000 a year. And my source for that is the 2017 Survey of Consumer Finance from the Federal Reserve. Now the reason why this is important is because the greater the relative poverty in a given society, the higher the crime from the group closer to the bottom of that distribution. A meta-analysis of 173 cross-cultural studies on the relationship between relative poverty and crime from 1980 to 2013 indicate that the greater the relative poverty, the higher the violent crime. As per data previously mentioned, this would contribute to those asymmetries in crime amongst black Americans. And that'd be the 2016 JRF poverty and crime review published by Leeds Becket University. Now additionally, black people experience asymmetries and hiring discrimination on top of that. The National Bureau of Economic Research conducted a field experiment on labor market discrimination in 2003. This study took in a large sample size where they sent to over 13,000 employment ads in the sales, administrative support, clerical and customer service job categories, and they sent nearly 5,000 resumes to various employers. So for those watching, what that basically means is that you have two resumes, you send them both in. They're both identical to each other. So they have the same qualifications, skills, the same template, they have the same age, the same demographics, except the only difference is that they change the names. The names are different on the applications. So one application would have what you would colloquially consider a black name and one would have what you would colloquially consider a white name. So same application, except this one says like Denzel or Lamar or Darius or something like that. And then this application would say something like Bob or George or Adam, Matthew, whatever. So the results from this study showed significant discrimination against African American names. White names receive 50% more callbacks for interviews. These living in better neighborhoods receive more callbacks, but interestingly, this effect is not differed by race. The amount of discrimination is uniform across occupations and industries. Federal contractors and employers as well, who list like equal opportunity employer in their ad, they discriminate just as much as other employers. So if you have like a workplace that talks, they tout themselves as like, oh, we're an inclusive workplace. We care about diversity and equity and inclusive, like all that sort of stuff that it doesn't matter. If you have a company like that, they're going to discriminate just as much as any other company are. These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a very prominent feature in the labor market. It's one of the biggest studies on institutional racism in the United States with over 4,500 citations. It was published in 2003. It's called our Emily and Greg, more employable than Laquisha and Jamal, a field experiment on labor market discrimination from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Now, in regards to Black fatherlessness, rather than it being solely an act of irresponsibility, what it often is, is disproportionate jail sentences and arrests. 42% of Black families experience fatherlessness, while 25% of White families do. So while the majority of Black fathers actually live with their children, there is still a clear disparity. This is based on factors previously mentioned and the fact that there is evidence that the criminal justice system itself does exhibit racial bias. So because of this, oftentimes fathers are absent for a far longer and harsher period of time amongst Black families than White families, which would stack onto unemployment opportunities as a consequence of the hiring discrimination I mentioned prior, making unemployment higher amongst the average Black person than White person and therefore contributing to a situation where they are either personally unable to support their own child themselves due to unemployment, or they're straight up absent because of the jail sentence itself, far more so again than the average White person. So as someone who considers a lack of father figures in the Black community a huge problem in regards to a child and overall family's upbringing, as well as someone who's concerned about the single motherhood in the country, this is something I consider to be deeply immoral on part of the criminal justice system. They not only don't care about the hierarchy of the family, but they also don't care about Black people either. According to a study published in 2014 called Racial Disparity and Federal Criminal Sentences, Black men constitute 6% of the U.S. adult population, but are approximately 35% of the prison population and are incarcerated at a rate six times higher than the average White man. Now a research report from the United States Sentencing Commission indicated that Black people serve 19.1% longer sentences than White people from the years 2011 to 2016 and that's actually been pretty uniform throughout the decade. So from 2007 to 2011 as well, it was about 19.5% and it's actually higher within this past decade in the 2010s than it was in the 2000s. It was about, it range from like being 11.2% to 5.5% halfway through the decade to 15.2%. So it's actually higher, the more recent statistics show that it's higher compared to what previously was last decade. And that's even when controlling for criminal history, whether someone pleaded guilty, age, education and citizenship, all of those things were controlled for in the research report. So that was published in 2017. It's called Demographic Differences in Sentencing, published by the United States Sentencing Commission. So to conclude my opening statement, all of these multivariate factors, they do stack on top of each other from history on while there was and is a gradual decline in racism amongst individuals within their own, I guess, day-to-day interactions. People are, you know, I guess, more individually, like racially tolerant. Racism is still a huge problem in the United States as it's a particularly pertains to institutions. And I believe that that is on a very significant, a very significant disparity. So that would be the end of my opening statement. Thank you. You got it. Thanks so much, Kirby. And with that, we will kick it over to CJ Cox. By the way, a couple of little quick details. So one is that, as we had mentioned, all the super chats will be going to black college student scholarships. And if you want to see the donation receipt, I am totally open to sending it to anybody. You can email me at moderndaydebate at gmail.com. And we are, if even if it's your first time here, you're like, James, like, can I see the receipt? Like, absolutely, even if it's your first time here, I'm happy to send it to you as we want that to be fully transparent. And then we always send the receipt to the speakers, our guests after the show, just kind of for, you could say, accountability and record keeping purposes. Also, at once in a while, we see, because we've had some admittedly controversial characters hop on the channel here and there. We will host some controversial topics once in a while. It's rare, but we do see a person pop up here and there in the live chat. And by that, I mean different people. Oftentimes, you're easy to recognize. The people who use hate speech, you've got that Kermit, the frog profile picture. And you guys sometimes say those nasty things. One strict rule, we won't allow hate speech here. So that's one rule that we have. I'd say if you are repetitively harassing somebody, we'll give you at least a warning and say, Hey, can you take it easy on that person? We try to not harass people. But if it's hate speech, there's no warning. You'll just be banned. So with that, excited to have both of our guests here, we're going to kick it over to CJ Cox and hear from his perspective. CJ, the floor is all yours. Thank you. And I do greatly appreciate that. So I do want to just make very clear here, my opening statement. I won't be responding to anything he said in his opening statement. I want to save that for the back and forth. And I'm just going to kind of lay forward my argument and then we'll kind of, like I said, have that little back and forth there to address some of the particulars. So I want to put forward a couple of rules that I think need to be kind of understood in order for us to properly go about discussing the solutions and causes to problems such as disparities in the education system and people's income and so on and so forth. The first thing is that dealing with the effects of something do not equal currently going through said something. For example, if you got mauled by a bear and you lost your arm. Well, now when it comes to, you know, maybe opening the fridge and also carrying a soda at the same time, you're not really able to do that as well as somebody else, 60 years down the line. And that is an effect of dealing or an effect that you're having and you're dealing with because you were attacked by a bear and lost your arm in an attack 60 years ago, right? But you're not currently right now being attacked by a bear. That was 60 years ago. It was an event. It took place and it's over now, right? I think the same thing can be said of the United States. There was certainly institutional racism in the past. I do not believe there is evidence of institutional racism in the present and for quite some time. And I also think that the racism of the past was actually a lot more limited than people like to believe, though just as harsh as it is oftenly portrayed. I'll get to that in a minute. The second rule that I think needs to be commonly or needs to be, you know, understood by everybody here is that a disparity does not necessarily equal racial intent or any racism for that matter. For example, if I were to decide I wanted to take a Socratic, I don't know if that's the exact word you would use to describe it, but view on democracy, right? It's in other words, you need to be educated in order to vote. It's not a right intrinsic to you, right? If I were to take that position, which was the position of Socrates, it is significantly more likely that if I got that past, it would affect a higher proportion of black and Hispanic people in the United States for obvious economic reasons. However, that wasn't the point of the argument. The point of the argument was saying that certain folk should be educated if they want to be voting, right? In other words, it doesn't matter your race. It doesn't necessarily even matter your class. You just need to know what you're talking about, right? Now, obviously, you can debate whether or not that's a good strategy to give people as far as voting rights and stuff like that. But the point is it's not racially biased. There's no racial intent in the law. And I think we need to accept those two things as rules that are not only going to be helping us explain this situation, excuse me, but situations that we would come up in any sort of a conversation, philosophical, political, and so on. Dealing with the effects of something in the past does not mean you're currently going through that event right now. And number two, a disparity does not necessarily equal some sort of racial intent. In other words, correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, as is commonly said. Now, I want to go over some definitions. One of them, of course, was already red, but I want to go over it anyway because I have a different view of it. Racism, the definition, according to the Oxford Dictionary, which is the first one that will show up if you look it up on Google, presidents, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. There is a little bullet point that comes after this that says the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race. So notice it is prejudice, discrimination or antagonism, very direct and intentional things and done for a very specific reason, namely the belief that one's own race is superior or by default, that another race is inferior. If you define things like systemic, systematic and institutionalized, which seem to be used interchangeably by activists in regards to this issue, systemic could be used, could be described with the synonym system-wide relating to a system, especially as opposed to a particular part systematic done or acting to a fixed plan or system, otherwise known as methodical and institutionalized, established in practice or custom, established as part of a official organization. So if we take those definitions to mean what they actually do mean, there's a few things. First off, in order for a law to be actually racist, in order for something to be racist, number one, it has to be deliberate. You're not unintentionally racist. You don't unintentionally find yourself superior to somebody else. Right. To give a perfect example, if you kill a animal in a brutal fashion like a dog, right, we have laws for that and you'll be punished. But not the same way you'll be punished if you do the same to a child because we have ingrained in our society of belief that human beings are superior to animals, right? And that's not accidental. So you would be able to find that. It has to be deliberate if you're going to actually prove something as racist. Number two, it does have to specifically target a racial group either by singling out that one group or by elevating one group ahead of all others. Right. So in other words, if you have laws that specifically elevate the white man, those would be racist because they're deeming the rest inferior. If you have laws that specifically downgrade the black man, they would also be racist, but you have to prove that they're actually doing those things. And furthermore, they have to be doing those things because they believe that they are superior or inferior, because that's the definition of racism. Other forms of prejudice, for example, ethnocentrism, for example, cultural hatreds and things like that, whilst they are certainly not OK, they're not the same thing as racism. And I would not argue that we have serious problems with those anyways, but nonetheless, to just kind of just basically prove the point, the Irish and the English hate each other, but they are both white skinned. Right. So clearly that is not a racist issue. It's a different issue. Ethnocentrism and it has its own conversation. So to kind of reiterate, it has to be deliberate. It has to be directed at a particular group, either by elevating one group ahead of all others or by specifically singling out that group to be attacked. And it has to be done specifically because one believes one's own race is superior, because that is just what the definition of racism is. If we want to say, well, there is a disparity in poverty or crime because of things that happen in the past, I may or may not be inclined to agree, but that is a different argument. It doesn't rely on people of my race or my nation necessarily having a massive problem with racism, right? It relies on completely different things. For example, a lot of white people in the South report. Is that because of racism or is it because they got bombed to smithereens in the Civil War, right? It was a total war. The same thing happened to a lot of other countries in World War Two, World War One, etc., thus is the nature of war, right? There's other things that you can use to explain away these certain statistics and disparities that don't rely on racism. And when you actually look at these numbers side by side with each other, for example, it is true that 20 percent of black Americans are considered to be under the poverty line compared to only 8 percent of white Americans. Major disparity in percentage. But you need to understand that's still 15.7 million white Americans comparatively to 8.9 million black Americans. Now, if I was a racist and I controlled the world, forget the percentages because this we're talking about individual human lives. Why would I allow twice as many white people as black people to be impoverished if I was caring about the individual white lives and their superiority? Why wouldn't I make it 50 percent poverty, 60 percent poverty, 80 percent poverty in regards to the black people? Of course, I don't do that. And by I mean the United States government, because there isn't a systematic attack against black people. Now, there's a lot of other things I could say, but they would reference, I think, a lot of the specific things that Mr. Kirby said, so I want to kind of save those for the back and forth. So I'll go ahead and end it there. Thank you very much. Appreciate that, CJ. And also a couple of quick reminders. I don't know if I remember if I had mentioned at the very start. If you have a question fired in the old live chat, if you tag me with at modern a debate in the live chat, that makes it easier for me to be sure I get every question in that Q&A list. And we'll try to read through as many as we can. Also, Superchats, an option, of course. And then last one to mention, we are excited as this is a new way of saying thanks so much for those who are our patrons. Appreciate your support. And this is something that even if you sign up at the lowest like two bucks a month, we're putting all of our debates. We just started doing this and huge thanks to Oliver Katwell for the idea. We're putting all of our debates on MP3. So that way, if you're like, hey, I love, I want to listen to it while I'm just like commuting or something like that, I don't have YouTube premium. This is a great opportunity where hopefully that's useful to you. And our Patreon link I am putting down in the description right now with our guest links, as I mentioned, you can hear plenty more where that came from from these guys's opening statements in the description box where their links will be. Thanks so much, folks. And we'll kick it into the open conversation. Sure. So do you mind if I go first, Jay? Go ahead. Sure. So I jotted down some of your basic arguments. The first one that I jotted down was you said the effects of something. I do not mean that you're currently going through something. And then you used your attack being attacked by the bear analogy. You meant like effects of something in the past, right? Do not currently mean that anything is going on today, correct? Right. So in other words, there's definitely effects from things like slavery and Jim Crow and stuff like that. But that doesn't mean slavery and Jim Crow are currently going on. Yeah. So I would agree that slavery and Jim Crow are not currently going on. However, redlining back in the Jim Crow days began with the National Housing Act of 1934, which implemented the decay of minor inner city neighborhoods caused by the withholding of mortgage capital and made it even more difficult for neighborhoods to attract and retain families able to purchase homes, the assumptions and redlining resulted in pretty much like a large increase in residential racial segregation and urban decay in the United States. And because of this, black people were only able to purchase the lowest quality homes up until like 1968, that disparity still exists today. And it shows in the data all of the income inequality generated from that. A lot of black people are still living within these homes today. There are even people alive today within the black community that lived through the Jim Crow era. I mean, I think that that's very, very relevant to what we're talking about today. There's a really great book. It's called The New Jim Crow Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. Basically, what it did was it amalgamated all of this empirical research and it's sort of a tied in all of what happened during those hundred years and explained how when you correlate all of these different factors to what happened back then, it actually does show, bears out in data that it is relevant to the income disparity today. I don't really think that that can be. Can you share, though, just to quickly point out, I would agree that in a lot of cases, there is certainly things to be said about what happened in the past because that's just a simple matter of fact. And to give what I think is a very good example, Jewish people in Eastern Europe are objectively, horribly impoverished, comparatively, to other people because of oppression, both on the part of the Soviets and the Nazis, which of course happened multiple years ago, decades even. That's an example just as good as the one that we have here and the Native Americans here are another good example. But that doesn't necessarily indicate because the thing when we talk about institutional racism happening now, this is why I bring up the bear attack, right? It's redacted, you add absurdum, but it makes the point that's not something we're currently dealing with. We're dealing with the effects of that. Certain deals are kind of cut and dry. And then the result is just going to happen, right? As an example, when we decided to nuke Japan, a completely different argument, of course, but when you decided to happen, the deals signed, right? Those people are dead. They're never coming back. The area is radiated. You have to now deal with the effects of that. But that doesn't even mean not only does it not mean we're actively bombing Japan with nukes or anything like that. We don't even have to be enemies. We're friends now. You know what I mean? And so you see there, the event itself can be separated from the effects of the event insofar as the intent of a certain party such as the United States government or in some cases, white people, because there are quite a bit. I'm sure you would agree of black supremacists for sure, like like Louis Farrakhan, the nation of Islam and things like that. Yeah, black supremacists are definitely a thing. And I definitely don't agree with those people. I don't believe it. I mean, they do not say that you didn't mean no, I don't know. I'm just I'm just emphasizing that I we are both within agreement, but that is not good. No form of like racial nationalism is good. That being said, though, when these effects have been around for 500 years and then what's happening today, and I mean today, like a lot of the studies that I cited, for example, are reflections of today, for example, again, going back to the one on a hiring discrimination by name alone, like black people get denied callbacks for jobs despite having the exact same the exact same qualifications and credentials, even when you control for things like class, the only really thing that seems to be defining it is the societal view of race. And especially if you look at again, the data that I mentioned earlier from the United States Sentencing Commission, you know, there's all with all controls like all your left, all that's isolated within that data is race when it comes to the disproportionate sentencing. So the fact that these institutions are still doing this today compared to like the past, obviously, it's not as bad, but there's still a lot of issues of institutional discrimination. I think it's very, very possible to acknowledge that today and the past are not identical to one another, but there's definitely a relationship there. Again, the law that was passed under Jim Crow law that segregated the black communities off into those disparaged areas, all of the employment data and all of the data that I mentioned earlier, like that still stacks on top of that today. So not only is that the past long term effects, but it's also there's also institutions in place today that are sort of keeping them in boxed in there. You know what I mean? Like that's kind of how I see it. I certainly do understand the argument. I do want to say two things. The first thing I just really quickly is the reason why I think it's so important to separate past from now is because when you say things like institutional racism, what it ends up implying, whether that's what people intend or not, because unfortunately, and I do believe, obviously, that your intention doesn't need to be taken into account. Don't get me wrong. But unfortunately, people kind of understand things the way that they're going to understand things, regardless of what me and you were actually going to say, right? A lot of times what you end up having is people who on both sides, by the way, this is not a black or white issue. Take this to the far extreme and they become even more racially charged. We've seen over the last 10 years, I think a huge deterioration in certain ways, obviously, it's not 100 percent the case, but there is definitely a rise in white nationalism and there is definitely a rise in black nationalism as well. Those are those are happening at the moment. And I think that's a that's a new phenomenon that could become institutionalized if we do not stop it. I want to be perfectly clear on that. Yeah, especially especially in Europe and stuff like I think like Hungary recently, like actually appointed like an actual like fascist dictator. Like and and the fascist party in Sweden, too, has been like like the polls in Sweden in like 2013 for the I don't think it's a fascist party. Actually, I think it's just like a really, really far like they want to end immigration. I mean, it is pretty serious. But that party like they had like 3 percent of the national polls like 10 years ago. And then the last election they had in Sweden, they had like 17 percent. So like, yeah, we're definitely seeing that. It's definitely a concern that is this systematic racism narrative. Because let me just give you a perfect example of police brutality, right? Because you we've mentioned police brutality and it's a huge, huge topic right now, right? So first things first, we have issues of police brutality in every community. There is a police brutality problem in the United States. I have been personally discussing that since the inception of my new show. It's it's honestly the very first thing I ever talked about, actually, because it's a problem. It's a very big problem. Now, the community where I was actually most harassed because I've lived in two, I've lived by three hundred and seventy. You get your percent. That's five point one percent. You know what I mean? No, no, it's one percent of black or of white Americans who are killed by police, right, are are unarmed. But if you do the same thing, nine divided by two hundred and thirty five last year, that comes out to three point six percent. So you actually have a greater number of unarmed white people who are killed percentage wise than unarmed black people who were killed percentage wise. And I think that's a problem with police brutality, just by the way. I don't think George Floyd or Danny Shaver need to be pinned up against each other, but both were equally horrid and we have a disproportionate reaction to one because of the color of his skin, which I would argue is racist. I mean, Danny Shaver was begging and crying for his life, you know what I mean? And nobody said anything. Duncan Lemp was killed this year, right? And he was only unfortunately actually associated either with militia groups, which some of them are constitutional, some of them are racist. And unfortunately, other racist, you know what I mean? That's the only people who even took up his cause. Which is not OK, of course, but the man was killed by police unjustifiably this year, same as George Floyd, you know what I mean? Yes, what I try to do is, oh, sorry, go on. No, go ahead. OK, so what I I try to really like avoid these anecdotal experiences when I'm talking about like some kind of like greater empirical thing like institutional racism, the problem with doing the math like that, though, is you still have to control for populations. The population doesn't actually intertwine once you do the math. I don't really know how we're going to be able to continue this point if we can't really agree on that. Because if you don't control for the amount of population, the raw data that you're looking at, regardless of what other math you want to spin in there is useless, and that's pretty much like consensus amongst like data analysts and stuff like that. You can't look at data that way when you're trying to get a sense of what's going on with the whole population of people. Well, because why not? Because what we just did is we compared the actual percentage of white Americans who were killed while unarmed by police to the percentage of black Americans that are killed while. So in other words, you're taking into account the fact that both of them are going to have certain amounts of stops and one of them has a higher, you know, there's 370 compared to 235 so on and so forth. You're taking into account those population differences when you do this math, right? That's why we're doing percentages and ratios in the first place rather than just gross numbers, which is still to be fair in my favor because it's 19 comparatively to nine. And again, I think that indicates a police problem, but it's not a racially biased police problem, right? Well, we just have like conflicting data. It's just that what I'm doing is I'm listening to what the experts derived from their data versus what someone did on a calculator. So what I do is a layman because I'm not qualified is I have to look at what the experts are saying and the data shows that it's 17 percent of white debts from violent altercations with cops were unarmed compared to 46 percent of black debts, though I think that like that data point, I mean, we can move on to something else just because I don't really think we're going to agree on this and I would much prefer going to a more like causal example, if you don't mind. So let's let's I would like to know what you think of the study that I talked about with regards to unemployment. So what did you think of what I talked about with the black names and white names on the job applications? So I think that that's actually a kind of a multifaceted problem, which I would definitely agree is a problem, but I don't think it's quite as cut and dry as we might initially think. So as an example and we can do whatever we want with this assumption, but I think we can agree that the assumption of your average American or even probably your average Canadian, if you hear something like Anquan, right, is going to be that that person is probably from a poor, more rundown kind of neighborhood and so on and so forth, whereas somebody named Michael is probably not. That's usually maybe not in Canada. That's certainly going to be the assumption we have here in the United States, right? Yeah, but now notice that particular study didn't actually say there was a racial disparity, but a disparity in the names alone. So I think that's one of those because of course, plenty of black people are going to be named Michael or David or whatever. Right. The and like I said, I'm not necessarily justifying this by any stretch, but I'm saying what I think is being described there or what is being shown there is people looking at a name like a, you know, like an Anquan, like Anquan Bolden, right? Or you know, one of my favorite YouTubers, his name goes by MK, but his name is Jamiroquan, right? I think they look at that and they think this person is probably for it from a more rundown and impoverished area, which I think is more a classist thing because there is certainly a little bit of classism in the United States. I would agree with that, but that classism affects races equally, just not necessarily proportionally, you know what I mean? In other words, the study controlled for class, the applications were identical to one another, right? I know and I understand that. But what I'm saying is that people have those inherent assumptions within them because of what I think are somewhat classist tendencies. Because for the average person, this is again an assumption I'm making. I do want to be fair. This is not something that I have back up the data. But I think the average person, if you walk up to them and said, hey, this man's name is Jamiroquan and told them nothing else, right? They would immediately have a picture in their head. And to be fair, maybe that's a little bit of a stereotypical picture. I'm not even going to deny that, right? So just a problem. So if somebody was named Jamiroquan, like if someone had a name that was more colloquially considered a black name and then you said that name to somebody without looking at them and then you just assumed, oh, well, they must be poor, they must be, isn't that racist? Not necessarily. It's more of a cultural thing because what you're assuming specifically in the name there and like I said, you can you can decide whether or not this is a good or bad thing. I'm just saying what I believe this is is you're basically making an assumption about the culture that's going to be put forward by this person. Because if you told somebody my name is Michael and also included the detail that it was black, that he was black, rather, you wouldn't actually have the exact you wouldn't have the same reaction, right? People would react to that person even knowing his race better than they would react to. And actually, if I if I know the study that you're quoting, which to be fair, I don't have it with me right now, so maybe you can correct me on this. But I believe that same study did indicate that heavily ethnic sounding white names also did actually have the same problem. And you ended up actually saying yourself that there seems to be an issue like across the I'm trying to remember exactly how you said it. I guess I can't really remember. So correct me on this. But there was a disproportionate hiring amongst certain groups of people that didn't seem to actually matter as far as the race was concerned, but more was associated with how run down the neighborhood was supposed to be. Right. No, no, what I was saying is that if a neighborhood was a poor neighborhood, it didn't have an effect. Right. And so and that is the crux with my argument when it comes to this is, I think people make classes, assumptions in the United States, regardless of your race, based on certain things that may not even actually have anything to do with your class, such as the neighborhood you live in and the name that you have. Right. So in the study, do you think that when the employers were looking through all of these applications, they weren't reading the full applications because the applications had they were identical to one another with the same qualifications, same educational standing. There's nothing about the applications themselves that would have indicated that somebody is from a poorer neighborhood. Literally, the only thing that was different was their names. So correct me if I'm wrong, but those are two different studies. Right. The poor neighborhood one is one study and the name one is another. Right. No, they're the same study. They're the same. So then what is the relation? Because you said that people who were assumed to come down. I mean, understanding what you meant by a poor neighborhood study. Like you said, that's something about like something not differing by race. And I did use that like exact wording when I was talking about the employment discrimination study. Right. Because there was the study indicated and correct me if I'm wrong, right? But the study indicated that if you came from a more run down or believes to be poor community, regardless of your race, that people were at a discrimination against you as far as hiring was concerned. Is that correct? The discrimination was still white, white, white names still received 50 percent more callbacks regardless of what neighborhood they were from, whether it was the richer neighborhood, a poor neighborhood or whatever. No, right. And I understand that people's position doesn't need to make any sense because oftentimes it doesn't. Right. Stereotypes very often don't make any sense. But what I'm saying is that what is indicated by the fact that people were deciding, hey, I'm going to turn you away because there's a problem with the neighborhood you grew up in is the same thing that I'm seeing in this other thing, which is, hey, I'm going to turn you away because the name you have in both of those things, what you have in is is an inherent cultural, cultural centric and classist assumption that they don't want. And I understand you're saying, well, these other people, they adjust for class and things like that. I'm not saying that what the person who's doing the hiring is going to say makes any sense as far as that's concerned. What I'm saying is that those certain presuppositions and biases against, for example, the neighborhood somebody grew up in or against, for example, the name somebody might have are things that are more related to their what they perceive to be really crime-ridden and lazy people, which to be fair, like I said, that could be a problem. That could certainly be a problem. If you believe poor people inherently or people from run-down neighborhoods inherently or immigrants inherently are kind of poor and run them up and committing crimes and things like that, that's a problem in and of itself. But it's not necessarily a racist problem. I could have the same thing about, I could think the same thing about poor Italians or Polish immigrants, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's just that they did control for that. Like it doesn't matter. What I was saying was that if you change the neighborhood around, I remember what I was saying now, what I was saying is that if you live in a nicer neighborhood compared to a poorer neighborhood, unilaterally, the white and the black people within that poorer neighborhood will still be called back less than the richer neighborhood in sheer numbers. However, statistically, regardless of which neighborhood that you are looking in, white people will still receive a 50 percent, they still receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. So the study did control for that. It doesn't matter what neighborhood it's not necessarily that you're a black person, but more that the name was Jamaeriquan or something like that, right? That's what the study was saying. For example, Michael David would still get a callback, even if they were black. Is that correct? Well, they did it just by name. Yeah, by a name alone is what they based that off of and based on certain names because there's names that society colloquially considers a black name like Denzel, Darius, whatever Lamar. You know, these aren't names that white people typically have. And the sample size was quite huge. They sent 5000 resumes to people, 13000 different employment as. Right. And so what I'm saying is so the fact that you have a disparity between the rich neighborhoods and the poor neighborhoods is one thing, right? That have not related to the names, right? That's one thing. That's one fact. And no, no, no, no, no, no, this study is related to the names 100 percent. Like that there wasn't anything you have the disparity between the neighborhoods, right? We were saying poor people and rich people have a disparity, right? And then you have separate over here, another disparity, which is white names versus black names. What I am saying is what is clearly indicated in the first one is some sort of a classist assumption that basically labels poor people a certain way. And I think the same can be a plot of being higher than Anthony. I'd be willing to bet that, actually. Antonio, though, could be a white Italian person and Anthony could be a Mexican person and it doesn't really matter, you know, I mean, and I think what is kind of inherent in there is this sort of classist and also a little bit anti-immigrant, I'll be honest with you. But once again, there's plenty of white immigrants that's unnecessarily racist. Well, not necessarily, I guess. But regardless, I don't really think that's relevant to this particular study because they weren't looking at people who would be white passing. I don't think that you would find someone who was white passing named like Shinikwa. I think that that is very, very, very rare. And I think that the common assumption within society, because assumptions are often based off of generalizations, when you see a name like Lamar, it's very unlikely that a white person is going to have the name Lamar. Now, maybe that's possible, but I think that it's very, very obvious within the study that the I don't know what other assumption would be. I don't know how you draw a class with George versus Lamar without the without incorporating race into that. And the study accounted for class. Again, these employers. Like I said, that's why I would want to look at ethnic sounding white names, because while you may not find a Lamar who is a white person, at least typically, you'll certainly find a Giovanni. You can certainly find an Antonio. You can certainly find loads of Spanish names, right? The Spanish people are white skin, for the most part. French names, for example. And a lot of those areas do certainly have certain biases against them. I think one of the most famous in America is certainly Irish people, because there was a lot of bias against Irish people for numerous reasons. And that could force carried over from England, right? And so that's why what I'm saying is I would want to see that same study done, but instead of focusing specifically on the black names, starts focusing specifically on some Hispanic sounding names, start focusing specifically on the ethnic sounding white names and see if you get the same thing. And if you do, then I'm saying that that would, which I would assume you would. That's the hypothesis that I would put forward, right? Yeah, I think that you end up finding the same general disparity. And the reason is, and I'm quoting now this other disparity that you had pointed out, right? I think there is classist assumptions against certain group of people. And we know that because this other thing is already something that's an established fact, right? If you are from a richer neighborhood, white, black doesn't matter. You're more likely to get a callback from a poorer neighborhood, white, black doesn't matter, right? So we know that part. What we don't know is necessarily is if Lamar is being discriminated against strictly because Lamar sounds black or if Lamar sounds quote unquote ethnic to the average suburbanite American, the same way Giovanni might or the same way something like Luke Kang or whatever, you know what I mean? I know Luke Kang's a character, but I don't really know very much in names, you know what I mean? Yeah, but like, you know what I'm saying? Like, is there data that exists on this, though, with like that that accounts for this stuff? Because if we don't have data on this at present, I mean, this just sounds like conjecture, right? Like, well, I would put forward definitely that that is simply a hypothesis that is based off of previously existing data that doesn't necessarily correlate to the name, right? In other words, I think if we did that study, excuse me. Sorry, there's previously existing data on the other names. No, what I'm saying is there's previously existing data as far as the way people portray richer versus poorer people and the way people portray people from rich neighborhoods versus poor neighborhoods and so on and so forth. Right. So that data exists. What we have here now is a question of why is it that these very African American sounding names are discriminated against? And what I'm saying is if you did the same study, which does not exist to my knowledge for the record, but I believe if you did the same study on ethnic sounding white names, Hispanic names, Indian names and et cetera. Although to be fair, there's kind of a reverse thing, I guess, with Indian and Asian names that typically are over qualified in the minds of suburbanite, but the qualifications were the same when they when they did the study, just to reemphasize that the qualifications were identical. And I understand that. What I mean is a lot of white people and really just American people in general, they kind of have this idea about Indian and Asian people that they're kind of smarter than everybody else. They have the reverse, I think, if you were to hear something like a, I don't know what a Chinese name is. I'm not very think a lot of Asian people would consider that racist if they assume that they're like, oh, smart, like big brain in school because on the basis of their race or ethnicity or whatever, I mean, I think that that would be, I think there would be a lot of history. It might be, but that is probably the general assumption, though, is what I'm saying. Whether or not it's racist is irrelevant. I do think it's probably the general assumption, you know what I mean, because that's definitely something that exists in America. I mean, they tell jokes about it all the time, you know, family guy and the Simpsons and stuff like that. So those are jokes, though, right? Like we're referring to like society in general and what they think. Right. So well, regardless, not the point, like I said, it may or may not be racist, but the point was just that I think there's a different set of assumptions when it comes to certain races. But my point here in this regard, yeah, that would be racist. Well, I mean, I don't know. This is certainly something that would be racist again. If there are different sets of assumptions given to certain races based on them being racist, I think that that would I think that many of those races would consider that racist. I know that was a little tongue twister there. But well, so to be fair, I think everybody makes certain assumptions and I don't think they're all necessarily racist because you have to. I mean, there are tons and tons on in all the different races of assumptions people make and they some of them are true. Some of them are not. And when I say true, I mean, generally true, not true, true to a rule, right? But people just make assumptions. You make assumptions not necessarily you, but you, the colloquial American and citizen, make assumptions about Catholic, make assumptions about Mongolian people, make assumptions about the Irish versus the English, right? When you hear a group attached to something, you make certain assumptions about the group. I don't think that necessarily means that it's racist, per se. I mean, it's not like you're hating somebody because you assume, like, for example, you know, there's the common joke about black people eating watermelon, right? OK, well, maybe you don't like watermelon and you're a black person, but that's not necessarily racist. So what? There's a cultural link with watermelon. I mean, there's a cultural link with unseasoned fried chicken with white people. That's not racist. It's just something that people assumed, right? Do you think that if I'm making assumptions about somebody based off of the fact that they might be black, though, and those assumptions are sort of like prejudicial, like, say, well, I think that if I hear the name Lamar, they might be of a poorer class. It's generally, I would say that it's generally presumed within society that if you are of a lower class, that's probably not ideal when compared to being a middle class or a higher class. So if I'm assuming that a black person is like poor or whatever, based off of just like a name alone that sounds black, I don't know how that isn't racist. Well, and I would I would agree, I guess, that there's a certain level of racial bias to it, but I don't think that it's racist, I guess, is my point. So I guess to be fair, let me I would have to rephrase what I've been saying. It's not necessarily that I don't think that that's racist. It's that I don't think it would be unique to black people. And that's why I would want to see this study done about ethnic sounding white names and other kinds of names, right? From first, I mean, well, of course, I mean various different groups. I mean, that's just a problem with tribalism, right? Like various different groups, of course, receive different like assumptions and presumptions about them based off of that given group that are not good. But just because those other assumptions exist doesn't mean that you can't. Doesn't mean that if you apply those assumptions to someone based off of a given race, that it's not racist. I don't know how that logically follows. Because it's not necessarily something that is done because you believe one racial group is superior to another. And that's so for example, if you treat Lamar and Giovanni both. So if you're a white person and you take a Giovanni, who's a white person and a Lamar, who's a white person and you treat them both the same, which is not very good because of an assumption that you believe that they're poor. Well, based off their race racist, because you went after the white person also. You know what I mean? On the flip side, if you have a Michael, who's white and a David, who's black and you treat them both equally, the assumption is in the name, right? The assumption is in the name because people, and rightly or wrongly, I'm not defending it. People assume certain things about certain naming customs, where you're from, so on and so forth. I can agree that that is problematic, but it is not the United States government or white race as a whole or the police as a whole or any other institution. I never said that it's white people as a whole or that it's like the government. Not you, to be fair. Not you, but there is quite a bit of. Talk in all different facets. I'm not pinning any one of these beliefs on you, but some people say it's education. So just to get this out of the way, I'm not one of these like woke, scold, like SJW activist types. I've literally just read data and I've just come to the conclusions based on what the data show. I'm not, I don't go around saying that white people are trash and insist people are trash and straight people are trash. I don't do anything like that. I'm literally just reading data and presenting data. That's all and fully granted. I'm not I'm not painting any of these assumptions on you. I'm just simply saying when it comes to things like, you know, when people say certain things like systematic racism and stuff like that, there's a various number of institutions and sometimes not even just institutions, but, you know, political parties or ideologies or even races that they end up blaming for it. So I'm kind of saying generally when it comes to this because I think for the most part, when you look at most disparities, they can be easily explained with things that relate to either past effects or cultural differences. I think in this particular, excuse me, in this particular example, that's not necessarily the case, which is why I'm kind of saying I would want to see the study on we don't have that study at the moment. But I am supremely confident that if we did have a study on ethnic sounding white names, that it would probably end up yielding the same results. And if white people are discriminating against white people because they believe them to be poor and discriminating against black people because they believe them to be poor, then the common denominator is being poor, right? I'm just surprised that this like wouldn't have shown up in the data at all. Also, when we're looking at like applications, I feel like the only way that you would be able to successfully debunk this study if you were somehow able to prove that like the employers that were sampled didn't actually look at the resumes and just like looked at the names and shut it out. Like they looked at the like employers look at resumes, they do look at them. If they pick one up to look at them, they don't look at the name and shut it out. They look at all the credentials. They look at the ages. They look at the demographics. They look at all that stuff. Um, it was literally controlled for in the study. One sec. I hate to interrupt. I'll give you a chance to respond CJ, but I just want to mention probably in a few minutes we'll go into Q and A. Want to let you know, folks, first, I am so thankful that you've stuck with us through all of these stream challenges. Sometimes I want to cry. I'm kidding. We're okay. No crying, I promise. But I really do appreciate all of you guys watching. And what we're going to do just so you know, folks is, is uh, some of these stream pieces are like they're in pieces. So I'm going to stitch together like the different pieces of the stream into a nice single video that I will both share with our speakers who I have linked in the description, by the way, in case you want to hear more of these guys and also we will re upload it here at modern day debate, probably by tonight. So just want to let you know, we appreciate you guys being so supportive. It's, uh, if this is your first time here, we're not usually this bad. So, uh, by we're, I mean me in the internet, but these speakers, I have to say, this has been a really interesting conversation. So I've really enjoyed having you guys. And like I said, maybe just a couple more minutes, we'll go to Q and A if one of you is willing to, and it doesn't have to be immediately, but shortly if one of you is willing to defer to the other and giving them the last word and so, uh, thanks guys. So back to you. Um, yeah, I mean, I guess I can conclude real quick then just because I don't really see, I think it was getting a little circular with the study or it was at least going in that direction. So I'll just conclude by saying that like, I think institutional racism is a big problem in the United States. I think I presented an adequate amount of data indicating as such. Um, I think that it's very, very easy for us to just sort of look at data and then say, well, it's possible that it could be this. Um, I think that that's just the conjecture fallacy. Um, it's very easy to say that you can say that about any piece of information, sort of like a postmodern thing where it's like, well, we can break down what could possibly be ad infinim. It's like, that's technically true. Um, so I'm just not interested in doing that when trying to describe a phenomenon that exists today because I'm a layman. Um, I don't have, we don't have PhDs. We don't have the funding to do these studies. Um, I would like to see studies to that effect. You know, it would be cool to see, um, how they account for like different, um, I guess, like Italian sounding names or all that stuff. I mean, that's, that's definitely one of the better responses I have heard to that study. There were, I have experienced a lot of, um, uh, less than adequate responses to when I've mentioned that study. That being said, though, um, it does control for class. Absolutely. It controls for different neighborhoods. It controls for all of that stuff. Um, it was purely and simply, um, white sounding names versus black sounding names. Um, so I would say that, um, those arguments didn't necessarily rebuke that data, but I do appreciate the, uh, um, well, the good faith attempt to, um, sort of, I guess, uh, uh, see what other multivariates that might not have been accounted for, I guess. And I guess the last thing I would say there is just to simply, um, I would want to point out that I think the primary discussions we ended up having today were, I guess, employment and, uh, police brutality. Um, there was a little bit of talk, I guess, about income, but not necessarily so much. We didn't so much get into the income itself as much as just the employment factor. Um, and you know, I do definitely appreciate the conversation. I will say this much. If that study ends up happening and I'm wrong, I don't have another point I can see. So that would, that would be something that I do want to just make pretty clear. Awesome. Um, yeah, that, you know, this is a good conversation. I think we had good back and forth there. Certainly. Yeah. All right, James, I guess we're going to Q&A here. You bet, Shale. I want to say thanks so much folks for all of your questions. We're going to fire through these as fast as possible because we're a little over time. And with that writer, John Buck, thanks for your super chat says, Hey, Kirby question for both of you. What policy proposals would you recommend for the problems raised here? Hmm. Well, I think that's something that would be really good is a, I think a UBI would be a good one. Um, like if you make under a certain income bracket, I think giving a UBI to those under that income bracket for, I guess, like a certain amount of, I don't know how many years it would be. I mean, you'd have to do the math on that. Some economists would have to crunch some numbers, I guess. But I think like if you gave a UBI to just gave maybe like a slightly greater amount to black neighborhoods as opposed to white neighborhoods who are living in impoverished conditions, just because there are disproportionately more black people within those conditions, you would definitely have to account for that. Certainly, though, it probably could be the same amount. That would be one good way just because I think that the most statistically significant thing that prevents events like the riots, for example, right now in the United States, those things happen for, for, you know, various socio-cultural reasons. And I think when you leave relative poverty unaddressed for so long, like all the data shows that that does tend towards violence, that would be a good start. Um, yeah, that would be one policy. I have many, of course, but thank you. And then do you, for you as well, CJ. Yeah. So, um, I think that there is a lot of things I would want to address before policy, if I'm being honest with you. Um, there are certain policies that could certainly be taken. I think for, for, uh, for one, um, marijuana should be legalized. I don't understand why we have hundreds of thousands of people across the country arrested for pop crimes. Um, that makes absolutely no sense. Uh, certain fines, I think, inherently become fines against poor people. For example, car registration. Um, if you want to register your car with the government, by all means do it. But I think the idea that you have to, to protect it from getting stolen from you is completely insane. Um, and we all know, I think it's a money making scheme in a lot of ways. Um, I would also say, um, you know, I would culturally call upon and not just black Americans, but any impoverished group. You know, it's interesting. And don't get me wrong. I love Martin Luther King Jr. for a lot of the things he said. And I understand why people have the problems with Malcolm X that they do. But one thing where Malcolm X was infinitely better than Martin Luther King Jr. is the belief that people need to build up their own communities. Um, people need to open businesses. They need to shop at those businesses. They need to stay in the home if they can. Right. They need, there needs to be cultural revolution. And by the way, lest anybody think that this is something that I pin strictly on black people, there is a significant rise in most of the problems that we traditionally attribute with black culture in white America. It's, it's happening and it's happening very quickly. So we may end up being equal before, before too long. But the point being, I think that would be the best thing. Open your own businesses, shop at those businesses, try to, you know, make peace in gangs and things like that. That's something, of course, that a lot of people have had to deal with. It's very difficult, but that reduces the murder rate, right. Stay in homes. Don't be promiscuous all the time that way that you have less amounts of people who are born out of wedlock and so on and so forth. Right. There is numerous problems, culturally speaking, so sorry. Impoverished groups that I can't address. Sorry, that's okay. So sorry to rush you. So sorry. But just to keep moving through as many questions as possible, appreciate it. Thanks for your super chat. Writer John Buck, who says opponent drops out, Kirby wins by default. That was definitely in the first stream. Thanks for your patience as we've had many issues, most of which all are because of my connection. But second best, Bob, thanks for your super chat. I said, uh, Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. That's okay. Go on. No, I was just going to say, um, when, when he dropped out earlier, a friend of mine who was watching messaged me saying that he got Ben Shapiro to death by data. And I just thought that was funny. Go on. That's funny. Second best, Bob. Thanks for your super chat. Said it being in England and watching what's happening over there is kind of weird. Whatever, black lives matter. Gotcha. Thanks for that. Opposer of religion. Thanks for your super chats. And thanks for donating these super chats to a good cause. I love that you take action with the channel. Thanks so much. And thanks to all of you for giving your super chats and all of your other support. We appreciate it. And all of our cat. Well, thanks for your super chat. Says education combats ignorance, intolerance, racism and inequality. Thanks for donating these super chats to the cause and praying it helps us all become closer. Thanks for that. All of her appreciate that. And Tioga. Thanks for your super chat. She says the white samurai. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Sammy, Sammy are being oppressed by white Norwegians. Is that not racist? They're both white skin color. Not sure that's for. I mean, if they're both white skin color, it wouldn't be a racial issue. Then I guess it would be more so like an ethnicity thing. Because historically, there has been a lot of conflict between different, like European nations and stuff. So even though today we would consider them white or whatever. You got it. I basically parrot that exact response. All right. And Raven zero. Thanks for your super chat. Said so what is stopping? So what is stopping racists to be used a free out of jail card? Well, so what is stopping racist to stop racist from getting a free out of jail? And they say because any one that said no to a black person is automatically a racist thing. What's the line? Well, it's not that they are. Oh, sorry. Go on. No, I was just going to say, I think this is a I think this is a little bit of that sort of that that Trumpism kind of coming through from being honest with you. I am a conservative, but I am not a big fan of the Trumpism. To be perfectly frank, whilst I certainly believe the media does have a certain view of race and that they definitely are disproportionate in the way they view certain things. I think the vast majority of people do not agree with that statement. So we're all fine. There is a significant lower significantly lower amount of racial hatred in this country than you think if you watch media, and that would be kind of my response to that. And I would say that the data says that it doesn't say that like white people who get like if you there's nothing indicating that if simply turning down a black person at a job is racist within any of the data that I presented, I don't know where that's really coming from. All it says is that 50% more callbacks for interviews based on name alone with the assumption that they are white compared to black indicate that there is a large number of companies who do that. It's not saying that all institutions do that. It's just saying that there is a large amount of racism that exists within the labor market. Gotcha. And thanks for your super chat from Matthew Steele, who's been on to debate before not too long ago. He says CJ Cox, do you think that classism, obviously a massive problem in the U.S. Which often manifests as racism is a problem to be addressed separately from racism and other forms of bigotry. I think it's entirely separate. I think it is entirely separate because it affects all races equally in the sense of gross number. Right. Well, one thing that I think people often forget when they look at things like percentages is if I was a racist, I wouldn't care about percentages. There is 15.7 million individual white lives that are impoverished. That would be my problem if I actually individually care about white lives ahead of black lives. So sure, there's 20% of black people in poverty comparatively to 8% of white people. But the gross number of white people is almost double. And if I was a racist, that would concern me, right? In other words, the class distinction and the race distinction is definitely different, even in the point of view of the racist, right? I think they're completely separate issues. And I think that they are mainly caused, if I'm being completely honest, by what I would consider to be a very cronyistic version of capitalism in our country. I think in the past, we had a very, very fantastic economy, quite frankly, when it was a little bit more laissez faire, not 100% laissez-faire, that obviously caused problems. And that's a different issue. But I think that that's the main cause for a lot of the disparities that exist in classism in the United States. It's certainly a problem, but it's not a problem I think that has anything to do with racism. Gotcha. Tiffany Baer, thanks for your super chat, said just sharing some love with a modern day modern day debate community. Pass it on. The world needs more love and kindness. Well, thanks for that support, Tiffany. We are excited for today's charity stream. Cody Drummond, thanks for your super chat says minorities have been fleeing their own country and leaving their own family members to live with whites in parentheses. Who are complete strangers for over a hundred years? Can we stop pretending that racism is a thing in America? Just because immigration is good and that people want to come here and that we have good values doesn't mean that racism can't exist within that structure and run contrary to those values. Gotcha. Thanks for your super chat. Whiz bang says what's both sides definition of racism does wrong generalizations of any kind based on race fit into the definition. I think they would say generalizations. It means something like stereotypes. Yeah, so I would say that it would depend on if whether or not the person hears like a stereotype. So let's say a stereotype would be because crime is disproportionate among the black community that you would assume that somebody when you see a black person that they were going to commit an act of violence onto you. I would say that that would be racist because you can reasonably induct that there is a belief there that on the basis of the skin color of that person they are going to commit a violent act against you with the skin color being the signifier in that case. So stereotypes. Yeah, definitely. If I'm understanding the question correctly and of course they ask for a definition of racism. So as I said in my opening statement, prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that a racial group is either intrinsically superior or inferior to your other racial groups. Got you. I would kind of say that it depends. I think most stereotypes realistically are harmless and that people get offended over a lot of nothing. I think some certainly are very harmful. Absolutely. Everybody's very familiar with the Nazi propaganda and the anti-Semitic caricatures that existed there. And of course we had numerous things here not only in regards to Jews and Irish people, but obviously in regards to black people as well. And even, you know, it's funny. I mentioned marijuana legalization. It's actually referred to as cannabis, right? Marijuana exists as a way to link it to Hispanic people to make them seem like they lazy and take drugs, you know what I mean? So certainly that stuff exists and has existed. But I don't necessarily think that all of the time it is. Like I brought up the example of watermelon. There's that is completely harmless. It doesn't matter. You know what I mean? Move on. People think I eat unseasoned chicken. So what, right? People think I can't dance. So what? You know, I mean, it really doesn't matter. It's a harmless stereotype. So it really depends on the stereotype itself, I think, is really what I'm saying. Gotcha. And Tioga, thanks for your super chat says they saw me. James, pronounce it right. And parentheses are racially oppressed. Race and ethnicity go hand in hand. Completely disagree. Complete ethnicity. In fact, ethnic hatreds a lot of times isn't even actually ethnic hatred as much as it is incredibly complicated. And by the way, that does not justify ethnic hatred. I just want to point out. But for example, if you took a Israeli person and a Palestinian person who were very, you know, righteously zealous on each side, they all they both have great points because this has been a bloody constant conflict for 70 years, right? It doesn't matter that one might be race racially Middle Eastern and the other might be racially white, although to be fair, the majority of Jews in Israel are actually misrahi, which means Middle Eastern. You know, as much as it is, there's there's an ethnic hate there. It's the same thing as gang violence. It's the same thing as football rivalry. Really, right? There is there's a long standing history that goes back and it can be completely separated from race. And in a lot of cases, though it can never be justified, it can be understandable. And I think we do need to differentiate between justified and understandable because understanding somebody who is still wrong, I think it does more to to credit their humanity and help us actually solve the problem than just well, they did an evil act and therefore it's evil. You know what I mean? They're evil. I mean, move on. Sorry, go ahead. No problem. Next up, Cody Drummond. Thanks for your super chat said 99.99% of what these SJWs attribute to quote institutional racism, unquote, is just the way people dress, behave and speak. It has literally nothing to do with skin color. Um, the data disagrees. Sorry, I don't care what SJWs say. Gotcha. And mystic wolf, thanks for your super chat says, hey, James, love the channel. I would love to see a debate between conspiracy cats and Kent Hovind on creationism. Can we make it happen? We will certainly try. I was just talking to somebody about how we we haven't. Kent doesn't always get back to my emails anymore. So we've got a we're like, you know, figuring something out to get Kent Hovind back on the show and we'd love to have conspiracy cats as well. So we'll definitely try our best. Want to say thanks, everybody, for hanging out with us. I have linked these guests in the description. So that way, if you're listening and you're like, hmm, I like that. I want more. You can hear more. That's why those links are in the description for you and want to let you know as a reminder, what we'll be doing is I will put all of these debates from today, the three or so videos of this debate. I will put them all on private shortly and then stitch together all of the pieces of the debate into a single video that we will re upload. And then hopefully you'll see it then if you want to see it in full. If you came late, it's always a fun time, folks. And we are very excited as tomorrow, we are actually having a similar topic. It's not quite the same. It's actually going to be related. It's actually going to be is systemic racism in particular real. And so that will be tomorrow at the same time, 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. We are going to start it. That's going to be between Losar one and the provocateur, the controversial Jill, as he goes by, will be with us. And that last time he was on was with Bosch. So that should be a wild one, if you guys remember. Oh, no. So hopefully we'll see you for that one. And then I think Sunday we've got an evolution debate you see on the bottom right of your screen. And then you we have a lot of other ones coming up though right now. It's it's an exciting time as we have a lot of debates with new people reaching out to us saying, hey, we'd love to come on. So thanks so much, folks. Very excited for it and want to say one last thank you to our guests. We really appreciate both Kirby and CJ. Thank you guys very much for being with us today. No problem. James, always a pleasure. And thank you for having me. And thank you, Mr. Kirby, for having the conversation. It was good. Thank you, Mr. Cox for having the conversation. It was good. Radical. And as mentioned, folks, all of the super chats that you have sent in today, all of it 100% will be going to the scholarships for students at historically black colleges and universities. And so feel free for real. If it's your first time here, if you want to see that receipt, the donation receipt to know that we are actually giving it to where we say we will, we want to be fully transparent. So we'll send it to anybody. And with that, I want to say have a great rest of your day. We'll hopefully see you tomorrow and keep sifting out the reasonable from the unreasonable, folks. Take care.

Oh, yeah, it is my gun So I need more XP and I also need seven more drops of rain Also, oh This guy got upgraded. I got up great Harper And I got upgrade flash Hey max level And now you need an evolution just need more XP for him Get that two-star evolution. Where'd these two where do you come from? Got here. I got loot. I need more tickets. Oh That's some thunder in galley Leo Galley Leo What's the live streaming thing I still haven't done this all right, um, I haven't been doing expeditions either How about not now? Okay, so I got I think I can get the Square now right 1600 not quite Okay, I Got four So my wife told me to focus on these now and now I need to go over here and do what I don't want to do I got to learn this again. I was the one who kind of broke it down for her now. She's teaching me The main reason I don't want to do it because look at all this junk I got there with the room and Every one of them has a perk and I have to look at every single one of them to determine if I want it So it's like I don't I'm being lazy. I don't want to do all that I'm not in the mood for it right now But I need to do it So I think I'm a nuke all my greens Have to say it all that I'm a nuke all my greens. Let's see trap durability bonus shield regen bonus Like I remember liking the health bonus and the when I was playing The one dude Who had the gathering bonus I was looking for that kind of stuff Yeah, but you could see here's the thing I don't want a new greens and blues because you can upgrade these to legendary now Using some shop stuff Listen here This stuff here this flux you can use this to upgrade Epics to legendaries and then these guys down here. Where's it will upgrade a rare to an epic So if you find a good card, you can upgrade to legendary That's why I'm a hesitant to To nuke all the greens and blues. Yeah, that's new that wasn't there It's new I know I Think I'm gonna start from scratch and then just because it's a lot of people there I need to level up some people, you know, cuz I got You know the personalities have to match that's one thing you have to do too Like in all these slots when you go to armors armor or squads You have to find the right personalities for all these different squads. So it's oh my bad So they have to match, you know, so it's like if you find the right personality that's epic and has good, you know, good Good characteristics, you might want to upgrade that instead of nuke in it and that requires studying and reading and Brain yeah, I'm thinking about doing that anyway because I'm about to hit this R button and go Oh Don't even think about it. Whoo. All right Why are you grayed out? Oh, you're favorite it? No, wait Cuz you're on a team. Okay. I think that's they're on a team right now sorting by reading Cali Okay squad name So here I can see the squads. Huh? Yeah, I don't slots though. Oh, yeah I guess I got some new slot. Oh, yeah, I just upgraded. All right. So this person has shield bonus shield regen bonus ability damage bonus competitive trap duration bonus Slot survivors into gadget tiers to increase resistance and home base power resistance Increase the shield and shield regen rate by 1% per point You can see the difference as you switch them over your shield goes up and there's personality. I gotta remember how this works There's a thing to say what personality this person here works with dependable so If I get somebody who is also dependable Do I get a do I get a bonus for that? Which is a little triangle thing this guy. All right, I see a little thing here. I wonder if there's some personality Synergies that I'm not seeing leader match My leader slot is locked though. Oh Never mind. I was reading the wrong thing. I also don't think there's anything that That synergizes with that personality that I have I should say I just got to remember it because I mean I had this down And I was able to explain to her and she was like oh She went and ran with it and I stopped playing for a year Now I've forgotten it all But I'm just trying to remember if there was a personality mattered for who you picked And I thought it did but I maybe won't So this guy's got shield bonus and let's see cooperative and shield regen bonus Let's just go with her for now Let's go over here to the training team. They're about fortitude and home base power Here we go. See this was what I was thinking about personality match She is is it a leader when you have a leader? That's when it comes into play. That's what it is so this personality is competitive and And This personality It's a dreamer So it doesn't match. So if I look for somebody else, that's a competitive They have a crown, right? No crown is leader. It is the dumbbells probably See if I have somebody with dumbbells to see if that confirms that and I don't have anybody with dumbbells What the heck? You can have freaking zombies as your team Wow, okay. Oh competitive So it is that symbol is this symbol here Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay, so That's ability damage bonus Okay, and it highlights it over here now. Okay, so that makes it easy They're all highlighted over here if they have a personality personality Synergy with the leader. What do I want though? I want trap damage I know they talked All right, let's get a leader for the think tank. Oh, I think I didn't have anything for this Okay, so I got two legendaries for leaders now She's Explorer Personal trainer I'm just looking at the stat changes as I'm switching different people so she gives more tech They all get more tech actually because it's a think tank. I'm leaning towards this guy here Because he's got about the same stats as these guys, but he's also has a Personality match, so I'm just gonna I'm just gonna Do this guy But oh depends personality match depends on her not him. This is leader. I thought I was doing this slide never mind What's the middle icon that's swirly, I don't know what that means I know this is uh, oh It's right here dreamer and unlock more people man I was going through I'm gonna level up my leaders that I already have in place Did him already Same to ten I could evolve these guys, but I'm gonna hold off right now She's already been involved. Oh, what's up, man a nookie. What's up, dude? The cars are confusing. Yeah, it's it's a lot of systems in place, man It's a lot of lot going on a Whole lot of shaking going on. Oh, no, okay backpack. Now we're gonna get rid of these blues And the greens I don't think I can get rid of these We're gonna keep that That pistol I found that I actually like the dragon rifle. So I Do actually like it, but for this guy I need more XP and I need some more rain Chocolate rain you start playing this recently nice some stay dry Chocolate rain Then they're gonna make me keep these They are and those play away. I get rid of these greens and his blues Just reach picker than two question nice What schematics I have you looking at them, man You are looking at them. The one I'm working on is a Hydra currently And I'm working on my gas and my electro trap Gas trap is here and electro trap is here Patrol ward I'm an unfavorite dad.

Yo, New York made me feel like the most insignificant nobody in the most horrifying yet inspiring way. It was like my first time watching Cosmos where I had no idea that Earth was so tiny and Neil zooms out so you can see the entire observable universe and made me feel like a grain of sand in my entire existence is just a blink. Cars, beeps, yells, screams, everybody's moving, everybody's hustling, but is it enough? Can you even escape that grind? Is it worth it? Do you lose sight of being alive as an artist, as a creative, as someone that just wants to be heard if you can't tell, someone that just wants to express themselves, being drowned out by all the noises, all the sounds, all the ideas, all the grind, all the obstacles. There is a fuel in that to rise above that to stand out even more. It makes me feel like I'm teetering that fine line between creating my reality and living insanity, but that's why I love it. The fears, the doubts, the money, the struggle, the winters, it feels like everybody's fighting and clawing and trying to get to the top. I can see getting lost in that hustle where your head is down so much you accidentally get off your path, but that's the fun part. If you could keep that head down mentality while staying on your path, that's the challenge. That's where the fear comes. Where am I even going? What am I even doing? That mental warfare. So the question is, are you willing to live in that unknown, getting over obstacle after obstacle, not knowing if it'll ever end, not knowing if you're going the right way, not knowing if it'll lead to anything. Will you let the city suffocate you or will you use that tension to increase your energy and raise your vibration? The beach is great, too. It's calmer. It's a lot. It's serene. You can breathe. Ah. Ah!

LTG Donald Campbell assumes command of U.S. Army Europe in Wiesbaden ceremony
|
WIESBADEN, Germany -- Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell Jr. formally assumed command of U.S. Army Europe in a ceremony on Clay Kaserne here, Jan. 9.
Adm. James Stavridis, commander of the U.S. European Command, gave the keynote address at the ceremony. The admiral said Campbell and his wife Ann are perfect for USAREUR and their return to duty in Germany and the move of USAREUR's headquarters here symbolize the U.S. commitment to Europe and mark the beginning of a new era for USAREUR.
Stavridis quoted President Obama, who called the NATO alliance "the cornerstone of American engagement with the world," and noted that USAREUR Soldiers are deployed side by side with European partner forces across Europe and in Afghanistan. He highlighted the worth of the combined training USAREUR conducts routinely with those forces at its training sites in Germany and elsewhere.
Stavridis concluded by speaking directly to the new USAREUR commander and listing three things he wants USAREUR to focus on during his command: continued assistance to Afghanistan after 2014; continued alliance with European partner forces; and new and ways to apply innovative techniques such as cyber-operations, special operations, missile defense and other emerging technologies in the USAREUR mission.
In his remarks Campbell also spoke of partnerships and the future.
"Our European partners have stood side by side with us in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, North Africa and the Balkans," he said. "These partnerships, grounded in trust, remain the cornerstone for U.S. engagement with the world."
"This is why U.S. Army Europe remains more vital today than ever."
The challenge, he said, will be to maintain and build upon these gains in an era of dwindling resources. But he added that USAREUR's transformation is making it better able to meet those challenges.
"We are in the process of deactivating two long-storied brigades, and we are reducing our garrison footprint across Europe. This transition makes us leaner, better organized, and more agile. In the end we will be better prepared to face the challenges of the future," he said.
Campbell officially became the 38th commander of USAREUR upon his arrival in Germany Dec. 1, following an assignment as commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas.

Admiral James Stavridis, Supreme Allied Commander Europe and the Commander of U.S. European Command passed the U.S. Army Europe Colors to Lieutenant General Donald Campbell Jr. at a ceremony at Claik Assern in Wiesbaden, Germany. Admiral Stavridis emphasized the importance of U.S. Army Europe in building relationships with its European allies. Today General Campbell has troops who are operating in Germany, obviously, but also in Italy, in Belgium, in the Netherlands, in Kosovo, in Bulgaria, in Romania. We have 8,000 troops from this command deployed in Afghanistan. This is a vibrant command which has responsibilities beyond the European theater, but is principally here in order to build partnership. As U.S. Army Europe continues to transition, Lieutenant General Campbell stated that he understands the stress on U.S. soldiers, civilians and their families. And recognizing the burden faced by our military and civilian families, I make supportive families one of my top priorities here in the United States Army U.S. Army. Strong families and communities enable our soldiers to stay focused on the mission and strengthen our team as a whole. U.S. air is in a time of transition. This transition makes us leaner, better organized and more agile. In the end, we will be better prepared to face the challenges of the future. Thank you for attending today, strong soldiers, strong teams.
