In a short speech to MPs broadcast live on television, the President called for a negotiated solution to the ongoing political crisis, abandoning the two-year extension of his President Jautam, adopted on the 12th of April. He also designated his Prime Minister as responsible for the organization of the elections, thus acceding to one of the main demands of the opposition to break the deadlock.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQE9ZYJ5SwE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCzY3w-5muWAUWIdCJ1EYuLw	Euronews report: Scores arrested in INTERPOL-led firearms Operation Trigger II		null	2017-04-21T06:17:56	2024-02-05T08:27:08	120	ZQRd2BY_F64	Golpe de Interpol al tráfico de armas en Europa del Este y los Balcanes. Una nueva operación gatillo dirigida por Interpol contra el tráfico ilegal de armas ha dado lugar a 149 detenciones en 23 países. Esta segunda operación policial internacional ha conseguido incautar 321 armas de fuego incluyendo un lanzacohetes y una metrayadora. Del 6 al 8 de abril, 7.800 policías localizaron almacenes con granadas y explosivos. Los 47 de las detenciones estuvieron relacionadas con delitos de armas de fuego. El éxito no se lo se mide por el número de controles de detenidos, el número de armas intervenidas y así sucesivamente cuando la policía de diferentes países se coordinan objetivos concretos le enviamos un mensaje claro a los delincuentes que agentes de policía de diferentes países en todo el mundo trabajan juntos contra el crimen organizado. Se controlaron alrededor de 180.000 personas y 40.000 vehículos, además de los 2 millones de consultas realizadas en las bases de datos de Interpol. Interpol intenta establecer una red policial sólida y permanente sobre el terreno para frenar a los traficantes de armas ilegales. Por mucho que un país promulgue una estricta legislación sobre armas de fuego no puede controlar lo que sucede en otros países por lo que las armas de fuego circulan por todo el continente europeo. El peligro para los ciudadanos es que armas de fuego a veces a 500 o a 1000 kilómetros de distancia pueden afectar la seguridad de su propio barrio. La iniciativa de la Interpol se suma a las medidas internacionales de lucha antiterrorista aunque armas de fuego y explosivos hayan dejado de ser únicos medios de agresión. La información recopilada durante la operación será analizada para intentar encontrar vínculos entre traficantes y grupos terroristas. La operación gatillo fue dirigida desde un centro de coordinación en Sarajevo y la sede de la Secretaría General de Interpol en la ciudad francesa de Lyon.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQRd2BY_F64", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UC0k4kxbay0EkZvkUOp0x2qA	Understanding Major Nonprofit Donors (How much can they give?)	Groundbreaking insights behind understanding major nonprofit donors, with a donor research tool that determines how much a donor might give. Donor Abacus operationalizes donor research, providing an objective, bias-free approach to determining the ideal donation amount for major gifts. By analyzing key data points and leveraging subscriber insights, Donor Abacus boasts predictive accuracy within 5% of actual pledges, empowering fundraisers to confidently navigate gift conversations and assess pipeline value. We learn about it all from fundraising expert Larry Ruff. "We all know you can collect all this information and you never have it all, and then you have to figure out, OK, what are we going to ask this couple for? How much? Well, Abacus, in 21 questions, is the easy online way to get to those numbers..." says Larry. It streamlines the donation solicitation process. Digging deeper, Larry dismantles the pervasive myth of gut instincts in fundraising, highlighting the negative impact of subjective biases on gift conversations. Through extensive research and case studies, he points to the critical need for objective valuation tools that will arm fundraisers with data-driven insights to navigate donor interactions with more confidence and professionalism. With host Julia Patrick, they talk about the importance of post-pledge stewardship in fostering long-term donor relationships and ensuring pledge fulfillment. "It's easier to get the pledge than to get the pledge payment. And you need to steward them once they make a pledge. That's when the work starts, because you need to keep them engaged," Larry offers. Related, Larry speaks about the inherent challenges of fundraising headwinds, from shrinking donor pools to volatile philanthropic landscapes. By demystifying the concept of money bias and advocating for more transparent, simple language-oriented approaches to gift conversations, he is pushing for a shift towards strategic stewardship and donor-centric engagement. The Donor Abacus presents a cost-effective alternative to traditional wealth assessment services, grounded in data-driven insights, transparent communication, and poised to democratize fundraising capabilities for large and small NPO’s across the sector. #largedonations #nonprofitfundraising #fundraisingstrategies	[ "nonprofit", "charity", "fundraising", "philanthropy", "nonprofits", "#fundraising", "apps for nonprofits", "nonprofit tech", "major donation apps", "software for fundraising", "large donation solicitation", "big donor solicitating", "asking for major donations", "donor abacus" ]	2024-04-11T19:30:52	2024-04-19T03:06:42	1,818	zQmyN5xopbQ	Hey, welcome back everybody to another episode of the non-profit show. We're really excited that you are here today with us We have a conversation that I think we always It's always in the back of our mind And we always think how do we know? You know, how do we navigate this? Larry G. Raff is here to talk to us about understanding major donors Larry. Are you gonna like kind of blow our minds today? And give us some ideas that we didn't know Well, I think I'm gonna introduce you to some different thinking perhaps that You haven't thought about before to be sure Well, I love that that's always a good day for me when I get to learn something new and This is a topic that oh my gosh for so many of us is really a critical piece Another thing that we want to let everybody know is is that we are really excited about a new cohort of co-hosts say that fast three times They come to us from all over the country and so over This month and next month you're gonna see us rolling out introducing these new Co-hosts we're really excited about it and you might have already seen some of them joining us on the nonprofit show The other group that joins us each and every day are our sponsors and they are amazing Most of them have been with us since day one More than a thousand shows back and they include Bloomerang American nonprofit academy nonprofit thought leader staffing boutique your part-time controller 180 management group fundraising academy at National University JMT consulting and nonprofit tech talk These are the rock stars that help you become a rock star because they support our industry Okay, Larry G. Raff you were just in New York yesterday talking to a group you're back in your hometown of Boston Talk to us about what abacus does Be happy to julia. Thank you abacus is a brand new tool the only of its kind that operationalizes donor research To provide you with an objective bias free number To ask a donor for for a three-year pledge So if you're in a campaign If you're doing a special initiative where you're asking for major gifts We all know you can collect all this information And you never have it all And then you have to figure out. Okay. What are we going to ask this couple for how much? well abacus is a 21 questions only easy online way to get to those numbers and because We've have enough Subscribers and data now we are seeing that our predictive accuracy Is within 5% of actual pledges So you can use it to value your pipeline as well as figure out how much to ask someone for a gift We're very excited about it. You should be you know, um, you and I need to offline I need to get with one of your folks or maybe you And get I would I would love to get a tour of this to see how your product works And and and while we're not really here to have you sell your product, but I got to ask this question How do you? Structure your Your clients are you like a monthly fee or is it per tract or how is it that you navigate with your question? It's for individuals. It's a subscription. It's a monthly uh amount it's either $45 a month or it's 65 because we have The ability to ask questions about your sector. So if you're in performing arts or if you're in health care Or if you're you know, if you're in behavioral health, there'll be other questions and And then if you're a large shop or a small shop We talk about an annual fee. So it's all very affordable particularly compared to the wealth assessment Services that are out there So, you know my my desire I've been in the business over 40 years my desire is just to get this tool out there to help help nonprofits and All good will come from that. Yeah, I love it. Wow. That's cool. Not what I expected you to say I thought it would be, you know, really an arduous Financial commitment. So super cool. Well, like I said Offline let's I would love to get a tour of your product to learn more about it because this is as we're going to talk Really one of these things and and we were talking in the green room chatter you know, there's a gut feeling and I feel good about this and Good fortune's going to come and you're going to say, yeah, not so fast. It's kind of a myth What are we looking at here, Larry? Well, it is a myth and we're going to talk a little bit about bias money bias as well, but Through our beta testing and through our experience over the many years The reality is when you're ready to have a gift conversation with a donor You're still using your gut and hoping for the best because if the if the donor asks you hey, Larry Where did you come up with that number? Which I which has happened You need a reasonable answer You know a professional answer. Yeah, and trusting your gut is not that So it's really no way to run an industry or a profession to When you're at the end game of the whole development process of getting to a major gift to ask you at the end game You have nothing to help you objectively Come up with what you need to have that conversation Okay, Larry tell me what the answer is to that question because I'm I've never been a professional fundraiser. I've been a community advocate and championed You know many nonprofits and I've sat in those meetings. I've made the ask A lot of times many times. I still do No one has ever asked me that and if I had been asked that question I would have freaked out. I got a man up. I would have been like what I mean I probably would have said well, they told me to ask you I mean Right because that's really what's happened. I can think of over, you know, 40 years of doing this in my community um The development director the CEO would say, okay, we're going to meet with mr. Mrs. Smith And we're going to try and get them to give us x amount and you're the girl Okay, right and so if somebody had asked me that Tell me how to handle that Well, and even if they asked the CEO or the development director that question they they Would have to finesse it. I'm sure and say well We want to be respectful mr. Mrs. Smith and we don't know what's what's in your what's in your pocket book But would you please consider a gift of x? And what I always what I always follow up with is and if we haven't asked you for enough, please tell me Wow 20% of the people come to the meeting with a larger number than was asked for Okay, I'm adding that in my bag of tricks. I had never done that and you know what else happens People smile or they laugh when you say it and that's the kind of frame of mind you want them in when they're considering your ask It's a win both ways. Yeah, and you know what larry? I think it's genuine It is genuine no question. It is genuine. It's genuine Do you think that this myth becomes less of a myth The more you are in this this industry this sector this part of the nonprofit world That um, you know your donors, you know your community Or do you still think that this really is just something that we Is part of how we ask that we're not really being prepared enough How do you see that arc? The it's a very good question. Well, the arc is I agree. We're never prepared enough because if we're relying on our bias An interpretation of this data that goes through our bias filter Yeah, then then there's there's the likelihood you're going to leave money on the table right and Trust me on this. You never know what people have You never ever know what people have and the best research You can hire the research and they'll come back with ask for this or they can afford that and It's far too often the case that they could afford much much much much more because You can't capture all that information Interesting So you really feel you feel confident that it's generally more and not less Because I think human nature would be and maybe this is like fierce talking because I think a lot of times we We go into these asks being fearful And in that scarcity mentality you really do feel like it's there is more abundance than we ever consider well Especially these days and the reason you're fearful is because you have nothing behind you that backs up the number and the rationale That's why you're fearful if you did have a basis for a non bias basis you go in with strength Okay And I would say yes people if they've accepted an invitation to have a conversation about a gift to your organization Then they have capacity Yeah, I love it. Well, let's talk about this this other thing and that's Fundraising headwinds. Yeah What does that mean to you and what should that mean to us? Well, uh, I there are several and they're dynamic. Uh, so a shrinking donor pool AFP just came out with data, you know 50 000 plus donors Are seven percent fewer This year than last year Uh, which accounts for almost 90 percent of total giving so That's fundamentally a problem and small dollar donors are shrinking as well Making sense of donor research, which I've talked about there's there's just it's it's just Wild wilds Swings and I and I did research on this and I'll talk we'll talk about it in a minute Full the philanthropic capacity estimates, you know, the eye waves and the donor searches of the world You know the the Results they come up with can vary significantly from reality. They're very good at taking thousands of names in your file and It's scoring them and getting it down to something. But that's about it Because because of the high variability Um, personal and organizational biases about money Ever present, you know, some organizations human service organizations might say, oh, how could I ask for a million dollars for my My organization Well, if the numbers add up to making sense that you should then Get over your bias About your organization. You're worth it Make the ask right. Um No process internally about arriving at an ask amount Often there's the buck doesn't really stop anywhere analysis paralysis Right. Yeah, you never you never ever know what you Want to know a need to know But don't let that stop you from having the gift conversation And there's a lot of new gift officers in the field, you know, there's been a recent Real strong influx of folks and we need to get them to be much more productive much more quickly because The competition is much stiffer There's more nonprofits and fewer major donors that adds up to a problem Yeah, well, you know, we go on the nonprofit show We go by the number 1.8 million registered nonprofits In the country and and you know, I would argue they're a hell of a lot more that are kind of under the radar that aren't necessarily You know tracking and and doing what they should legally But I think one of the things is that It's so varied and we don't have those pillars of giving You know, we have ancillary and somewhat if dare I say kind of You know Off of off of main highway kind of people, right? We have Very unusual nonprofits That people can give to as opposed to the main pillars that that we used to give throughout our communities Whether they be faith-based or they be, you know, human services or health I mean, but we have things that are, you know, like chinchilla rescues and not to negate them But do you know what I mean? We have very boutique boutique. Yeah, that's the right word Thank you. That's the right word and that might Reach somebody's heart and their value system And it's it's really an issue. I mean, I talked to so many CEOs that are just shocked at the amounts of money that go to that go away from their organizations when they believe they're, you know, frontline Organizations really doing the hard work and then they see money bleeding off into other sectors that that Maybe they don't feel ours is important to the whole community But in my estimation, Larry, these companies that are are taking more of a Lion's share, they're well marketed. They're well branded. They're communicating with donors They're more strategic, right? And so they have more money and more budget to do all of that. Yeah, well, they're making that investment They are making that investment because the donor retention It's easier to get a gift from a previous donor than from a new person And so the investment in retaining your donors and growing your donor pool is We'll pay back. There's just no question of it Yeah, you know, one of the things that you mentioned and I can't wait to get into this Is money bias What is money bias? I think we're all gonna know this Let me uh, I mean we all of us were born into different circumstances, you know, some some less affluent some very affluent and so The amount a $10,000 gift for me Is the same as a 50 or $100,000 gift from somebody else so I did a I did research over 10 years And I gave fundraisers over 400 of them Two case studies 21 questions each the same that are into calculator And I said, okay, tell me how much you want you would ask to the small donor and ask to the large donor Well, the small donor the range of responses Was $25,000 to $250,000 For the large donor it was 50 50,000 to 3 million Now, mind you, this is the same set of data They're all fundraisers And the bias that is at play And how they interpret the information And it could be because they're new or they're seasoned Seasoned people might go to 3 million, right? Uh Or the nature of the organizations that they work for That's money bias in numbers in in the actuality Of real circumstances And that's why you need a non-bias objective way to get to A value That you then vet with people who know the donor And so they'll say they get a reality check You know, they'll say hey, you're crazy. That's that's way too much or or they can do a lot more than that I love that you can do it Seriously Seriously, and and so that's that's why I created Advocates. It's simply put that's just no way To to run a business when you're asking your best donors For the most you've ever asked them for and you have no solid basis for why Yeah You know how off-putting or Maybe off-putting isn't the right word, but how But asking for the wrong amount or you know too low too high How does that impact the discussion? Does it does it ever torpedo it because the donor can't get beyond it or Everybody's so stressed out and the tension, you know is is escalating like Because it seems to me. This is such a pivotal piece Of the relationship going forward not just Sitting there in that restaurant or that conference room or wherever right on your campus it it seems like we We have this stumbling block. That's it's pretty big Yeah, what does that look like to you? Well, I think it's language oriented. I I think You know, I use sort of a set kind of language And and it's it's you want to disarm two things You want to disarm the research? So say I don't know what's in your pocketbook. I don't know what you're capable of or what your financial pressures are But I want to be respectful So what you're saying is please forgive me if I screw up That's what it's saying. Yeah, I love that and you say would you please consider Would you please join us because everyone who's here has given? right It's a social bond Please join us and consider a gift of a hundred thousand dollars That can be paid over three years And if we haven't asked you for enough, please tell me Love it. That's the language that we that we typically use that I train my clients on using It's it's very useful. I want to tell you a quick story To illustrate what bias is about because it's more than what I just described A client a humane society executive director and board chair go into a couple's home And and the calculator when it was in an excel format Said asked for a hundred thousand dollars over three years And they go into the home and it's not very updated The kitchen hasn't been updated for a long time and they're starting to get cold feet Their bias is kicking in Right and they signal to each other to go to plan b plan b was 50,000 And in the course of the conversation when they showed the couple of the gift chart The couple volunteered a gift of a hundred thousand dollars Before they got to the ask So if if they had followed their bias and asked for 50 They may very well have left 50,000 on the table. Yeah. Yeah, and that's where bias shows up very commonly It's so interesting. I learned that selling shoes getting through college People who have money wear good shoes because they don't like their feet to hurt And if you look rag tag clothing, but they've got good shoes on That's fabulous. Oh my god, that's that's just fabulous Well, I think that that's a great example of of where we We do take the look at things and you know use that word bias. We we really form an opinion that's You know tough because it's mostly emotional and then we follow our gut It's just like what you said in the very beginning that myth of of what we think is going on So this leads me to kind of my last question of our time with you When is it right to make an ask and we get this information? Um, and we get through all of the emotion and the relationship building So when is it right to put this all together? and proceed with Making the ask right good question and it's back to that analysis paralysis problem And I'll tell you uh on the calculator. We hit we you know in addition to offering a Suggested asked amount and what to expect We have a readiness score So if you haven't if you were unable to answer some of the 21 questions We're feeding back to you and telling you hey, you're not ready. You need more research and more discovery To get the answers to this question like, you know, what was the largest gift they made to another organization as a for instance? Uh, have they made it a state? Have they included you in their estate plan? Those are the sorts of things you get by knowing the people Building that relationship So when you then get to is it when's the right time to ask? It's it's twofold. One, do you have the right information to make the right judgments about what that gift conversation is going to be about? And secondly, did you ask the donor To meet with you in order to discuss a gift To the campaigner to the organization And as long as you don't ambush them And you're saying this is a meeting to discuss a gift or your support of Then they're ready Then they're ready to have to make a gift 99% of the time sometimes something happens in between But 99% of time if they know that this is about a gift coverage. This is about a gift. Then they're ready to have that conversation Now it may not close that day Right, you can ask them and ask said they need to sleep out. They need to talk to their advisor or what have you Uh, and if it's a bigger number than they were expecting you need to say, well, you know Instead of three years if it would be easier over five years To fulfill this request Then that that would be pine that would work. So you need to be prepared for the objections and for the what is what abouts So don't expect to close it on that day, but they're ready to be asked Right, and that's what's important. I I love that you separated those two because I think you're right. I think um, you know, the actual aspect in the The discipline of you know, getting the meeting preparing for that meeting and making the ask Needs to be separate from the closing and how we we look at what a success In a failure is and like how do we feed the pipeline? It's it's all of those things and and we talk about cause selling That's something that a lot of times um, I don't see enough of uh, Our folks in development in the nonprofit sector recognizing It's more just like did we get the money or didn't we right? It's transactional Yeah, it drives me nuts because that's not the way that you build that sustainable approach. That's right And julie Something I preach is it's easier to get the pledge than to get the pledge payment True dad right and you need to steward them once they make a pledge. That's when the work starts Because you need to keep them engaged Yeah, so they pay that pledge Right, right Wiser words have never been spoken. Absolutely. And again, we don't focus on that. I think a lot of times we forget That that is a big part. It's it's just customer service, which we don't use that word enough Use the stewardship, but it is customer service and uh, there is there is a there is a solution to that too But it would be it's typically frowned upon in the business And I converted a major hospital to this So if you get a ten thousand dollar pledge From someone you book it That year as a ten thousand dollar income right Well, what if you just booked the cash from that pledge As what you raise that year It's not the pledges. It's the cash you brought in And then you know what cash to expect based on the pledge for future years, but you still need to get it And that will incentivize gift officers and fundraisers to stay close with your donors Because you're counting their pledge payments in the current year And as you can imagine, uh fundraisers weren't too thrilled about that idea, but administration was Well, yeah, because that has been an age old problem. I mean we look at you know, Legacy gifts and we look at generational wealth transference and how that looks and estate planning and all that and it can really skew Your sense of how well you're doing versus the reality of What's actually coming through and going into the bank, right? Yeah When you get when you get that bequest payment Which bumped your year. Well, don't budget next year Based on this year Right. It's just not real. It's not repeatable. It's not recurrent. Right, right And you know, I think and we don't have much time left but I think um that was illustrated a lot with With covet and with some of the the the funding and the the grants that came out and you know, just this these big um inputs of money To, you know, various sectors and then it's like wow, okay. That's that's not repeatable or it's not being You know, we're not navigating forward on that. It's over And now there are a lot of organizations That are really behind the gun because they ramped up with the this funding and hadn't really planned forward Remember the ice bucket challenge? Yes, that huge spike. I I did a blog post on this the next year and went back to baseline Yeah, it was never really increased. No, no, no. Yeah, absolutely. Well, I could talk to you all day Larry G. Raff really interesting conversation I can't wait to take a test drive on your product and we like I said, we'll do that offline because I'm fascinated by this and I have been and I continue to be in those those meetings As a community leader not a professional fundraiser And it's it's tough and it's fraught with a lot of anxiety. I personally love it. I really like it But you know, I I get to do the fun part as I As I see it and make that ask And I have never really had This background of information to help arm me Like I think you're providing our sector and so Really interesting check out donor abacus dot com Two weeks you can use it for free for two weeks. Okay. Well, okay That's even better. Um, yeah, and and you'll learn more about what they do and how they came up with this And uh, Larry travels around and speaks. I know you were just like you said in new york yesterday Speaking to a group of professional fundraisers So, yeah, this is something really to take a look at for your organization Another thing that we want to make sure that you take a look at and those are our presenting sponsors We have amazing support from folks like bloom or an american non-profit academy non-profit thought leaders staffing boutique your part-time controller 180 management group fundraising academy at national university jmt consulting and non-profit tech talk These are the folks that join us day in and day out So we can have these really interesting conversations like we've had with larry today Okay, larry I think that there's a lot more I would say a lot less stress Going towards next asks for so many people that have been able to meet you today on the non-profit show And learn about not only your product, but your mentality. I I've really enjoyed learning from you It's it's been great. I really appreciate your time today. Oh, thank you. Julie. Thank you very much It's been a lot of fun. Hey everybody, um each episode we end with this message And it goes like this To stay well So you can do well. We'll see you back here tomorrow everyone. Thanks so much larry.

From my point of view, customer experience is not something that you designed, but it's what the customer is living through your process. So it's not something that you can really control, but it's the feeling that the customer has by going through the service that you are providing. That shift from the process point of view to the customer point of view, I think it's something that is key to design a good customer experience. So we hear a lot about customer experience as the process to create a better service for people. But it's not about the process, it's about the point of view of the customer. So you need to make that shift, because customer experience is something that the customer is feeling about the process, but not the process itself.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQts9H30a3A", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Anyway, this is a follow-up video to a video. I posted not too long ago secret message Which was a very simple secret message and we're gonna have a quick look at how to decode that today It was just kind of a barely hidden QR code But definitely I hope to do more videos like that. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time And definitely get a lot more complicated than that one, which was pretty simple. Although, you know Some people might, you know, see things quicker than others So we're gonna look at at decoding that You know basically QR code But there's a few steps to get to that point today in this video But I also hope to do more videos like this. It's not gonna take the place of other videos It's gonna be like every once in a while I'll just make a random video with a secret message and then like a week or so later I'll show you how to solve that secret message and there's no Rewards or prizes usually the end result will link you to a YouTube video where you can comment and say, hey I made it here. Yay, you know Just so you can claim your fame A few things about the first video I posted. First of all, I don't know Maybe you guys don't like this because it had a lot of thumbs down I think there were four currently there are four thumbs up and four thumbs down So half people didn't like this and I don't know why I don't know if it's because it was too hard for them I don't know if it was because it was too easy or they just don't like secret messages But we'll see I like I said, I think about this sort of thing when I'm just out in the bottom like Oh, it'd be cool if I did a secret code like this or a secret code like that and So again, this one was real simple Look at it now, and it'll be more difficult once in the future, but let me know in the comments below Does this sort of thing things seem fun to you? You know my channel is mainly about learning but the second part is about community and just having fun with one Other and I've really over the years tried to get my viewers to be more interactive and There has been a few of you But I thought this would be more thing, you know, we can interact and The only thing I ask and I asked this, you know I had Annotations in the original video and people kind of ignored it is when you get the answer to the video don't post it in the comments Go to the link where it's providing and post your comments there. Don't ruin the fun for other people. Okay? I know me saying that's not gonna help, but let's go ahead and look at decoding That simple qr code now. Okay, so this we're just gonna solve that Simple qr code So first download the YouTube video at the best quality you can I like using YouTube DL But whatever technique you use will be great. So let me go ahead and I'm going to copy and I'm gonna paste in the URL to the video and It shouldn't take long. It's like a 12-second video There we go. So we have that downloaded So next what we want to do is we want to extract a frame from it You could open it up in a video editor like Caden live and then just say extract frame I'm gonna use I'm gonna use ffmpeg because that's what I normally use give it the input of our video So ffmpeg dash I inputted the video dash dash No, just one dash SS 00 colon 00 colon 0 0 actually 0 1 there So what I'm saying here is just go to the first second of the video and we're gonna say v frame One which is the same extract one frame and we're gonna put it output dot png So again ffmpeg and then dash I for the input and we give it the name of the video We just downloaded and then dash SS for you know the second that we want to go to Which it's the same image throughout the entire video. I'm just saying go to one second and extract a Frame just one frame and I'll put it to there hit enter and now if we list you can see that obviously I must have typed something wrong V frame. Oh, sorry. It's v frames with an s There we go So now we have an output PNG which I can display real quick Which right here and if you look close enough you can see that there's qr code in there in fact an image magic here I could probably edit this and and adjust it. I could do that enhancements, so I was gonna go into GIMP because that's what I would normally use Let me just go into GIMP because that's what I was planning on doing But you could use image magic in the GUI there or image magic from the command line to adjust the picture But I'm just gonna say go to GIMP and a lot of the viewers were right You could open this up and you can either Go to colors threshold and it would give you the qr code I haven't tested up people said it worked what I did was I just went to contract Brace and contrast and turn the contrast all the way up because the way I created this image was I Turned the contrast all the way down and then moved it up one one degree, you know So go ahead do that. We'll go ahead and we'll export that and then we will close this So now if I display output.png you can see it's our new image and then I'm going to use Z bar IMG which you can install the package is called Z bar dash tools I've done videos on this before give it an image and we'll find all types of bar codes both qr codes and standard You know standard bar codes like UPCs and stuff We'll go ahead and we'll enter on that and you'll see that it gives you a URL here And then you can go to that URL and comment again I'm going to hopefully do more secret video secret message videos like this just for fun And when you solve them again, don't comment on the secret message comments on how to get there or where it leads Go to the actual video because that's well where it will normally lead or a link on my site or something I don't even know but you can comment after you solve it not on the postings you want to ruin for other people But that is it It's that simple.

I know that Lance probably knows about this where he's describing his grandmother's pubic a pubic area Um, I need the panel to react to this. So it's part of one of my yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure Lance has that one bookmark The only one that I could find has copyrighted music So I can't find just the clean version Lance if you have that you've got to help us out because The fact that more people don't know about this is genuinely unacceptable to me like more people need to hear this it is insane Okay, he talks about a dream he had of his grandmother where she was stroking her bushy pubes and Brought it to hit like I'm not gonna spoil it. Okay, like this one It's in the Twitter group if you want to pull the quote up so it can be can be read before the class And I think we should have a we should have a guest Jordan Peterson voice Sam if you want to take this one away As like distantly relatable to Jordan Peterson as possible, I don't know that I could could do the voice well It's the pauses for me that really is like it's it's I can deal with his nasally Kermit voice It's he talks like he's announcing, you know mission accomplished in Iraq, right? Like it just it doesn't make any sense. He adds those like weird Republican pauses, you know You He read David has loud in his voice in the audio book too, so if you can find that then do that Who wants to read in his voice Lance, can you do this? I'm not I'm not gonna read this Okay, oh bloody hell alright, so I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool There was also a river in real life She had been the victim of Alzheimer's disease and she'd regressed Before her death to a semi-conscious state in her dream as well. She had lost a capacity for self-control Her genital region was exposed Dimly it had the appearance of thick matte of hair She was stroking herself Absent-mindedly she walked over to me She walked over to me with a handful of pubic hair compacted into something resembling a large artist paintbrush Wishing something face. I raised my arms several times to deflect her hand finally unwilling to hurt her or interfere with her any further I let her have her way She's broke my face with the brush gently and said like a child. Is it soft? I looked at her ruined face and said yes grandma. It's soft I Wanted to learn who that kermit voice that well lands Can we hear your your version as a as a Canadian? Oh my god, I think all Canadians can do it Yeah We should have told y'all. Yeah, that's how you get your passport. It's it sucks Canadian citizenship if I could do it I can't do that That's a great quote by the way. I just it's it's uh, yeah Wait, so what I have a question. What's y'all's favorite phrase from the because there's some real gems in there What's your favorite phrase in that paragraph? The description of the large artist's paintbrush like he's describing cuba care Yeah, I'm out of that's this just the best part also the um, I let her have her way in his voice Yeah, yeah, I literally turned that into one of my outros and it's my most popular outro. Everybody loves it I put a beat to it. It's It's beautiful I think my favorite is ruin her ruined face Yeah, her ruined face. Yeah Also, there's something about genital region the use of the word region there like just feels Just aggressive. Yeah. I mean, I guess it's more eloquent than like her kuchi or cooter or something like that The way he chooses region region makes it feel like such like a large geographic area I personally like the descriptive of dimly Oh God But yeah, he's smarter than all five of us combined Somehow Yeah, I love it. I don't know. I'm just Actually, let me I'm rereading this and I gotta say the the The handful of pubic hair resembling a large artist's paintbrush now my question is this Listen, I'm I'm I'm a writer. Jordan Peterson is a very smart guy now. Is this and That's what I was gonna ask. This is a very large artist. It's like andre the giant Hold this up to his face or is the paintbrush large? I don't get it Uh, I think it's both. I mean, that's the beauty of his brilliant writing. I mean, he really does It's a double entrepreneur. That's why paint quite a picture here He's just smearing his grandma though. Like he's describing this jungle of unshaved pubes. It's just he did her dirty Why would you put this in a book? Why why would you be like, well that that you know was something I should share with the world You know that I just that I just experienced last night. I like But wait, so so which is worse the fact that it's extremely plausible that he simply made this up Or if it was actually a dream that he had I think this actually happened. I mean, I can't imagine he would make this up for the book. I mean Maybe I got the range A little fanfiction here And honestly, it's weirder. It's weirder that he dreamed this like I almost wish this was a real life experience That he's describing it would be it would be much less weird honestly Well, yeah, because I mean at that point there's something yeah, there's something wrong that happened Whether he dreamed it whether it happened or whether he made it up None of that has anything to do with the amount of energy It how it takes to think to sit and think about this to write this long gone Like you see what I'm saying like you could be like For whatever reason I saw on my grandma's vagina. That was crazy, right? Like you said Look over this in the editor. An editor had to prove him afterwards. Oh, you actually have two commas there, sir You're gonna have to edit this where it says paintbrush You just don't want to edit in his book? I'm gonna hate you a picture. I'm gonna take you there. He said y'all need to be there with me I want I don't want to I don't want to tell y'all what happened. I want you to feel it too I also like how this is under the heading of good reads Here's a good read right here I don't know if we still want to listen to him or him say him read the audio book, but All right, I guess we're ready. There's no music on this one, right? I don't believe so. I just looked it up and I I didn't get a chance to listen to it. I don't think there's music because I couldn't find one without music Just just have your your mouse It's very important stuff Yes, we'll we'll start with it with the important stories here I like the fact that he took the time in it to emphasize to distinguish that it was his maternal grandmother as it was paternal grandmother would sue Like you said don't you dare But can can you can you sue if someone's just describing a dream they had of you I would sue you for negligent infliction of emotional distress I Dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, which was also a river Her genital region was exposed dimly had the appearance of a thick mat of hair She was stroking herself absentmindedly She walked over to me with a handful of pubic hair compacted into something resembling a large artist's paintbrush She pushed this at my face I raised my arm several times to deflect her hand Finally unwilling to hurt her or interfere with her any further. I let her have her way Oh Here's the music coming in. All right. Yeah, the music was about to come I do want to pull that line for like a soundboard. I let her have Or interfere with her any further. I let her have her way How was that not career ending those are not any people who like knew about this Think of all the crazy shit we've seen the people say and and how wrong they've been again and again It does it It doesn't matter like they all serve a purpose They get paid to serve that purpose and it doesn't matter how many crazy shit is out there about them Like look at someone like matt walsh like it does it doesn't yeah, that's true All across the world jordan peterson fans cleaned their room with a broom made of their maternal grandma I'm sorry, but like if my grandma came up to me with a bunch of pubes, I wouldn't just be like, okay grandma I'm like grandma. What the fuck are you doing? Like I would I would haul her away immediately to the nearest home That's not acceptable. That's not a normal thing that happens. I don't care if your grandma has Alzheimer's That is not a normal response to this be like, okay, grandma put it in my face. That's not normal. Normal people don't do that That's so bizarre By the way, I'm convinced that this is not a dream that that this didn't this didn't he just made this up Absolutely 100% sat down and fabricated What happened At worse than worse worse than sitting down and making it up. I think it's a fantasy Oh, no Look at the words he's using dimly lit half away This is teenage erotica. This is a fantasy Does anyone know if there's like a larger point to this like is there a point he's trying to make around this Paragraph like there has to be a reason this came up We have because it's just so random My thing though, it's like you write erotica. There's no reason to write it in this way You see what I'm saying like well, assume you're a psychologist like what however you're offering it to me Why is it written like like weathering heights? You see what I'm saying? Why is it why? That's my issue. Okay, let's give it it does it does kind of read like a Bronte novel Yes But no, I think to your point david like about like why did he do this? I think if if nothing else He did it so that he could say this is so crazy that no one would ever think I actually made this up Because I think this thing about the thing is though. This is before he really enjoyed This is before he became famous though. Like this is this is like I think this is for his first big book So like he didn't he didn't foresee what was gonna happen in his career, right? Like this is this is a long time ago No, I actually think I think this story, you know, right? It's one of his earlier books when he was like a serious Uh, uh, psychologist. He's like he's a psychologist, right? Um, clinical psychologist in theory Yeah, so I mean he's probably putting this in the book as like an experience He had to show off like I'm gonna he probably goes on to like Break down what the dream possibly means for someone like his like his for his psyche or something like that That's my assumption Like that's the the reason I think you would go into a story like this to then pull out your uh, because he loves to do this Pull out his phd and say I have the the The the intellectual knowledge to break down what this means And you know, he's a weirdo and of course And nonetheless it goes back to my original but why you write it like that It's the same way like in you when Ben Badgley is like he's fighting with them because they want to present him In the most romanticized way when he should be presented as a sicko He did not present it like hey Dream that just happened to happen less unpack it or you know what I mean? He said Welcome to my sexy fantasy people When grandma had her way You hear he said dimly. He said dimly. He said expose dimly news to dimly and have a way It's also not the only one in the book by the way Yeah A normal person that is doesn't want isn't down with that Even whether they have a dream or to imagine it that a family member let alone their grandmother decide to fuck them They would be worried. First of all, you wouldn't even call it a dream. You'd call it a nightmare But you see this weathering heights. Sorry. He's like He should open with in a nightmare that I had right That could ever happen to me I Had a dream Up yours Sons of bitches The dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother she was stroking herself I let her have her way The genital region was exposed. I let her have her way	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqLb2CRON9s", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The proposed system encounters an AC-DC microgrid with a renewable energy source on the DC microgrid alongside constant power load and resistive loads. While on the AC microgrid side, a synchronous generator is used to present the low inertia of the grid with dynamic loads and static loads. A state-space linearized model of the system was developed and verified using MATLAB Simulink. The dynamic response of the proposed controller was compared to the low-pass filter, LPF, based controller. Additionally, the effect of changing the system's parameters on eigenvalues was investigated. This article was authored by Mohammed A. Afifi, Mustafa I. Morey, and Ahmed M. I.

far the record of any live stream I've ever done the numbers as far as like likes and things like that so you're definitely helping out there thank you so much and we're just getting going here and today's main topic is trash picked CRTs I see a lot of you guys coming in the chat there's been a lot of early activity in there thank you all so much I'm gonna get some shout outs shout outs sorry here in a second so thank you all for joining in and feel free to chime in in the chat because again we're talking about the main topic first off is going to be trash picked CRTs and I'm gonna get into a way more about that here in a minute but as always for the about the first 10 to 12 to 15 minutes I have other things planned and that way the show notifications get pushed out people come in and it's about takes about 15 minutes for everything to get done and go ahead yeah thank you thank you Joe Ray six for subbing up hello Brian Harman thank you for coming in I see you here me mercury mercury right no that's a fancy way I think thank you for coming and a thrill me I'll stick man I'm getting almost getting good at this zero sleep thank you all for showing up let's see we had some other people PO 17 good to see you here demo Kirby thank you Ronnie welcome in everybody welcome and we're gonna have a fun time Andre I saw you here early Chris boom Centilee deluxe mega cards thank you for liking Pasadio welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome all right cool everything's good let's see what's going on first before we get into this with the cold cam yeah he's chilling out we got a purple theme going here I guess accidentally so I got the purple me he's got the purple little girlfriend there with him so that's all good and hey Belmont welcome in thank you for showing up today I hope you aren't working too hard waiting on concrete of course excellent accomplishing real things out there spiral light welcome in so yeah before we jump in to our main topic here I want to give you guys a roundup I've been working gosh I've been working a lot on not only CRT restorations but also the trash finds that's like extra bonus work right and excuse me beyond that I wanted to finish up another comparison video for you all because the last one did really well the one from last week which was the comparison of the 2 8 inch CRT so you had the PVM versus the regular KV 8 CRT and that got I mean it's only been out for let me see the analytics here it's been out for well it of course you go to the analytics it shows you everything it's got about 4400 views and it's been out for just about a week so that's really really really great for I mean most of the videos that I make and I mean I don't think I get in trouble for doing this so hopefully there's nothing I don't believe there's anything like that you guys can see on your screen that will matter but yeah you can just see some analytics here for real so look good job thank you so much so I've got another comparison video well let's even see if we'll just close out that studio there and this is the stuff that's coming up in a second but I just let's see if our buddy Cole's there okay I just wanted to say thank you all for watching that one and another comparison videos like I just finished it I have not even uploaded it but it's done editing it looks good it's between this look let me finish off finish off this this the Sony Color Watchman I finally got to it and I have to say a huge thank you to super guy CRT over here on YouTube so if he shows up he can post in the comments and post a link because he's actually a moderator here I believe so should be able to do that but he sent this over for me to just review and check out and man this is a cool CRT Color Watchman Color Watchman color screen composite video input and this goes head-to-head with this right behind me and this is another viewer sent this one in Josh the Mega Watchman and this is the black and white Mega Watchman specifically FD 500 and to go through how to use these and how to like get a signal into this so if you're concerned with seeing these kind of devices and not knowing how to use these and get again RF into these machines even if all you do is get the back and it looks like that it just has a earphone or a phone no jack or something like a like a headphones jack over here that's what it looks like it says antenna I can show you how to hook that up and it's in that video I think I'm gonna have it ready for tomorrow about 12 Eastern time that's when I'd really like to have it all uploaded so let's hope that YouTube doesn't find anything problematic with the video I doubt they will they never do and then that's gonna go head-to-head with this Color Watchman alright and this is a rare rarity I again I have never seen one of these before this had the opportunity to use this so special thank you again to super guy CRT and I will come back after the show and add a link to his channel in the description of this live stream today because the pinned comment is always reserved for the spot of the actual starting of our main topic which again everyone is the trash-picked free CRTs but that video will be out tomorrow so please set your calendars and be on the lookout because I don't think you're gonna want to miss it you're gonna want to see how these work and how they go head-to-head and it was just a fun project fun little video and it's worth it you don't have to go and try to hunt down one of these crazy rare CRTs and pay a bunch of money for them you can vicariously enjoy the experience of it through these little short videos and the comparison breakdowns between them so I hope you enjoy that tomorrow and that is who that's a heavy box even though it's just a little CRT it is it's a beefy one but that's coming tomorrow everybody so thank you again thank you all for your patience here and if anybody wants to guess how it's possible to do that magic it's through of course the other reviewed device recently done on the channel the channel channel channel the reflex RF from our boy mr. add-ons this is the review unit and actually I believe maybe the actual units went on sale yesterday if anybody got a notification or if anybody wants one of these it might be like right now I don't know you might need to go check it out this is how cool is this he actually dropped the he actually dropped the price five dollars on the unit how awesome is that that's like a 10 12% price drop for everybody how cool huh so I love this thing it's really for me it's unbelievable how much space I can save using this little guy to hook up for demos and again comparisons like I did before between these two CRTs it's really much easier using something so small as the reflex I can almost fit it in my mouth whoa see it's very compact all right anyway that's enough goofiness for today thank you again everybody love the Superman mug that there you go still full of coffee I was thinking I really need to do an after dark edition of the bunker with my friend and hopefully this will happen soon and I'm gonna put them both on notice but after dark it's going to be me and it's going to need to be two other people at least it's going to need to be a live show with me 8 bit Esquire and Mike Chi that's what it's gonna need to be okay so if you're here right now and you're seeing that yes I'm kind of teasing them and they can they don't have anywhere to hide okay they know that if they see that let them know they don't have anywhere to hide it's coming hey April happy birthday my friend thank you for being here how awesome is that everybody please wish April a happy birthday I love that thank you for joining me I hope you have a wonderful birthday I hope all your dreams come true and maybe you will have a lucky day and the CRT will show up on your curb kind of kind of like it did on mine hey welcome tech dad welcome northern Virginia wow that is really close that's where I am in the Shenandoah Valley here and over in the Shenandoah or no she had Rockingham County Rockingham County JMU that's why I've got purple on all right yeah everybody please wish April a happy birthday and I didn't see did James Boone come in I did see them if you did if he did I put some James and Ann Cat and Ronnie all right so we've gone about oh 14 minutes so that's pretty much plenty of time so this is the this is the time when we will jump in and let me see here make sure I'm not getting some special flag here okay no we're good all right hey all right cool cool cool cool cool all right cool so yeah let's uh yeah take dad big big time dukes guy here I am a season ticket holder to all the sports and I'll go to even the ones that are free so just fun stuff all right let's get in here this is the time it is 14 seconds on my clock so it might be about 13 and a half minutes on the screen but we're gonna put the timestamp right here and let's get into our main subject and again everybody if you haven't done it already please do me that favor of clicking the like button it does help it does let everybody know and it sends out a couple notices and honestly when you click the like button and all you do is that it sends out and it gets about 10 more views for this show so it's really helpful I really appreciate it and thank you anybody who does take the time to do that and we're gonna talk about these free CRTs now I don't know I've got the plan here I've got this one that I've gotten for free now this is not one I found on the trash recently this is one no I want to open up and adjust because it works good but it was one I got for free earlier it's been sitting here for a long time I'm gonna get it cleaned up and I'm taking it with me I'm taking it with me to the Music City Multicon at the end of this month and then I've been talking over with my friend Chris over at Displaced Gamers and he'll be there with me in my booth and we're like well we should we should do like a raffle for it so you pay hey thank you Tony we should do like a raffle for it so you pay like five or ten bucks and you get a raffle ticket and if you win you win this awesome CRT that again will be adjusted adjusted and you know it's not I'm not gonna go in here like fully serve like recap the entire thing we're gonna clean it we'll run a couple adjustments on it and make sure it's good if there's any parts that are obviously busted we'll change those out so I've got that one here which is live which is in person all right really here and then I have the other ones that are upstairs in the loading area of the shop if we go back here the dashboard that's what I have on this side oops sorry about that I have a photo album of about 30 pictures of my trash-picked CRTs so I was thinking you know the pictures are not gonna take as long plus we can follow up on my Twitter page where I've posted some more information about this and showing you that so well let's let's start with that and kind of climax to the actual tear down on this let's let's go that path I think that'll probably be the more fun way so what happened here well this is a funny story so golly I'm a I'm a first off let's see oh he's still down there sleeping I have I just have to make sure okay great again thank you everybody for being here and thank you for dropping that like I have the the greatest wife a man could ask for righteous she's comes in from a jog around the neighborhood and we're having a chat in the evening and she she says hey oh I forgot to tell you I saw a couple of big old TVs down the street today when I was walking the dog and I was like really yes so there's one day every I want to say it's about every month that my city will come around and pick up anything you just about throughout there at the street anything so that includes CRTs and I have gone out there and found other CRTs that are buried in storage that I'll do another episode on them in the in the future but these CRTs were a basically a gift from my wife's perception seeing them and knowing what I do here and what we do here and so she says go down there and check them out so I was like well I'm immediately going I'm I hopped in the car I got over there and my goodness I ran into two amazingly large CRTs and what I'd like to do is I'm gonna put you on the cold cam and I'm gonna pull up my Twitter feed because I have the original video here of when I found these CRTs and I thought I was kind of concerned that the person that I drove up to their house was going to not be very happy with me doing that so I've got that great here's that video and I'll turn that up there and we'll just try we'll just try to push this live but let's let's go back to this dashboard right here and this was the first first post I did about it let's see if we can't get first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go over here and I'm going to pause our music and we're gonna play these short videos and maybe get some sound I'll see on the feed over here on the mixer if anything comes in oh my folks we're here in a trash night we got some old CRTs don't we we got some samson CRTs we're about to snatch up oh my goodness my wife told me there were some on the street let's get them in to the shop and see what they're like right first off you could tell that I was kind of giddy like a little kid excited to find these things all right I'm sorry I know it's only 15 seconds and he just saw it I'm just gonna play to get the headphones on here on a trash night we got some old CRTs don't we we got some samson CRTs we're about to snatch up oh my goodness my wife told me there were some on the street let's get them in to the shop and see what they're like sorry it's pitch dark there what I'm doing this like you can tell you hear the crickets and everything and I'm right outside these people's house right outside the house I I don't understand the people don't I was laughing with my wife right after she told me and I wouldn't pick these up I said yeah I wouldn't got them and she said what's wrong with these people why don't I don't see how you figure by now they would at least tell me they were gonna throw these out and just say hey you want five dollars oh my goodness yeah people here we go look at this this is the pit they kids put I can but it's the plot I don't know what happened to my here we go so I got them back I these were not these look these are not these were not light CRTs they were HD style middle 2000s and 27 inches each one of them and they were heavy so thankfully I've been doing my exercises routine and I picked them up with ease and tossed them in the back of the vehicle and drove them on up to the shop and this is when I offloaded them and took a first first good look at them let's let's review this footage here so you know I hear most people complain about their partners were not wanting them to bring home CRTs or getting them in hot water when they bring home some CRTs but I've actually I got a wife that told me the neighbors had two CRTs out on the streets on dump day now unfortunately these don't have power cables in them right now because some crack head ran around and just snipped half the power cable off these but this is a Samsung from 2003 it's a big big one alright here's the thing I don't understand who cut cut these power cables because they were trimmed back it was like they cut off like less they left more power cable than they cut off it was so much left so I had no idea why but both of them were clipped in that fashion it's like that or it's like the owner again self sabotage them so that no one would come and use them I'm not sure I'm not sure who he thought he's here she thought they were messing with and anyway it looks like about a 27 inch widescreen CRT maybe or no maybe four by three flat screen though and then this is a little bit newer this looks like that HD TV slim fit TV we finally found a slim fit in the garbage the slim fit Samsung look it's even got the HDMI in we'll get the we'll get to test this turd once we got cut off there test the turd baby test the turd I don't know there's some people who says you can do some good things with them I've never had the opportunity this is one I've had on my radar for a while but it's not when you really want to put a bunch of investment into initially so I was lucky here right I get to save them they probably like dad got it he still took it if I come out and like the neighbors start smashing them with hammers oh I'm not gonna be happy yeah I wanted mess with both of them because the Samsung is kind of a mess or the flat one is the thin sorry the thin flat one is the other one the fatter older one is amazing I'm absolutely like struck by this CRT and I'm so happy to get this thing I'm really considering how I'm gonna incorporate this into my my home setup it needs a vicious cleaning which I'll show you pictures in a minute these are pictures that I should have in the file so I'm not going to get into that more let's see this was the FW 900 and that's some more testing all right that's stuff there so this let's watch this little clip here this was when I saw I well here we go check this out this is a 27 inch flat screen tube on the CRT just look at how like awful that edge geometry is to start with I bet it didn't I bet it never looked much better than this but I know there's that strobing light but try to see just how wonky it looks and it's a pretty common problem with a flat screen CRT that's a good shot you can kind of see how it's just looks crazy well okay so that was you could you could kind of see just from I only had the n64 up there to test them after I got it working which I'll show you some pictures that there was one more clip here sorry no okay that's a clip of it running it's a big smeared mess kind of it's not not that great but this one's amazing so I'm gonna show you some stuff on this one I think I have the same clip in the file this is the Dynaflat Pro which PO 17 was mentioning about hey Don Honk I think I was getting messages from me don't worry I'll get back to you after the stream but thanks for checking in and we're gonna look at that one too that's the one that I'm like in love with right now for a trash find CRT so you can kind of see some clips of there looking awesome running S video with WCW revenge so let's just go now I don't think there's anything alright that's it let's go over here and get into the files we take a closer look at these pictures okay okay I'll resize myself for so let's check on check on her boy oh yeah oh yeah he's out like a light so everybody first off remember we have we have birthdays in the chat so anybody who still wants to wish Ariel or a thrill sorry a thrill a thrill a thrill a thrill finally got it a happy birthday and do that and also drop a like for the show if you have not thank you anyway here we go let's get in here here's a closer look at this this is the slim fit right slim Samsung fantastic slim fit now the thing about this is this is a similar thing to that B&O thing I absolutely love the design of this television just from first looking at it right it's eye striking and I've seen it at conventions where you go into the convention hall and there's just 30 or 40 CRTs in there you see one of them and you're like wow look there's one of those it's really cool looking because it's thinner than everything else and it was substantially thinner than the Samsung that was left beside it which is the dinoflat good morning Abe here's some pictures of it thankfully these scratches are just on the bezel there's no scratches on the screen the screens and tubes themselves are in pretty much as good a condition as you could ever imagine or want asked for I should say from a trash picked CRT so before I forget let me get that jazz going friends let me get that jazz going there we go we got to get that we got to get that calmness of the Friday afternoon I might listen to it with you get folks because it does it makes me feel makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and how blessed and fortunate I am to do what I get to do here with you all hey grail thank you for coming it's just a wonderful experience to sit here and talk about something that you love and have others enjoy it with you live and actually being passionate about something and get to grow that into something special here so let's go let's move on to pick we're gonna we're gonna eventually get through these pictures okay this is the sleek design channel up channel down volume menu big I like this I like this thing I like how they have these big just power button it's just it's it's funny it's cool it's little it's just the little things I like a big bam power button you know so many times I feel like you get this tiny power button and somebody at Samsung was like no sir we're going with the big power button on this one big one so there you go you got an indicator light there and an infrared infrared receiver for your remote control and then you get all these cool little features they would love to throw on the bezels of CRTs the slim fit slim fit TV Dolby digital and I know right these things are filthy because of course they came right from the garbage hey Edward take them yes tell her she needs to upgrade for a tenant's sake oh yeah you got a big power button excellent so I love to hear it man wow a thrill a thrill those are some massive CRTs those won't even fit in my house right now I can't get over a 32 inch CRT in my house right now inside it's not happening we'll fit through the doors here the house was built in the 60s I'd have to literally resize one door to get it in it's crazy I don't understand it's too tight like corners doesn't make sense but that's why they don't come inside not the big ones okay so you're looking at it closer and yeah if anybody wants to fill in people in how these work or any tips I know PO's probably going in there and telling everybody about it but this is just a look at that slim design I do also kind of like the fact that the power cable is over here on the side a little isolated on its own right there and so that's not a bad feature let me turn this jazz down again sorry I think it was going a little too hot little too hot everybody and here we go the port point everybody wants to see is the back of the TV look at this input board is unreal first off let's look at this label and see what we can find out here this is a Samsung specific model TX dash s278 to H and just looking for anything that may be unusual no nothing nothing nothing 110 to 120 volts 60 Hertz so it's a specifically NTSC television 165 watts it's kind of not not a huge amount of wattage use for television like this here's our chassis number manufactured all the way up into May of 2006 this is definitely late addition for a CRT isn't it okay input board time look how nasty this guy is ladies and gentlemen we have total nastism and this is this is the reason you should not bring these inside there the place for you dwell because you should open these up and blow them out and don't you don't want those nasties inside now if we sorry about that we zoom in here pretty standard stuff on this side we have an AV one that has a ability to do an AV out okay just standard composite as standard composite and excuse me stereo audio and then we have two component ends two component inputs here one and two and these this says it can do digital 480 IP 720p and 1080 I so we can guarantee ourselves most likely we're gonna get smacked in the face with a fat sack of dirty lag but we shall find out that's right I hope you heard cold snore it's not me it's not my stomach growling it's cold so don't be mad at me for those sound effects those aren't intended all right then we have look at this we have two HDMI inputs baby and an optical out this is this is like what I would see on the panel of my whoops man what I would say in the panel of my plasma screen from this time period something else that's interesting an upgrade port so maybe if we get some genius out there to upgrade the firmware and on unlock it who in this amazing community is that dedicated in that talented at that profession I don't know look at this then you have this sneaky input over here on the side which has an S video input and then it has mustard mayonnaise and ketchup for you okay that's an input right there and I got a little date up here goodness I don't need to do that one there we go TXS 2788 or 8 to HXX AA serial number version number I'm not really sure what all that's meaning but I did all I had to do was replace that power cable and then I got a slimy Mario on the screen a big fat slimy it's a me on the screen and man this TV it just I was using the S video input to do this okay let's see what else we got yeah there it is the console of all consoles right under my picture and move myself out of your screen can see it there yes you're in 64 and that's going in the S video here and it's it's blending everything right it does not look like it does not look like a CRT very much no sorry it looks like a plasma or something it's like it's being scaled to 480i and it might just be in 480i the truth is I've not had time to do anything besides test it and run it for a while I played games on it for a while and didn't have any troubles but I have lag testing equipment and experience with that so don't worry about it that is all coming that's all coming I just don't have time right this second to do all of it but I wanted to make sure these are good before I where I adopted them into my family now I think I have a couple more images of slimy Mario there on the screen let's see what this this is the clip that I had earlier I don't think we let's see here I do not believe we watched this clip I don't believe so I'm not entirely sure let's let's figure that out I don't think so I have actually gotten the Samsung to work and right now I'm using n64 but all I really had to do was get a spliced in power cable and this is just temporary because I'm gonna open it up before I take it inside and see what's living inside it's very dirty and again it was in the trash there's the model number right there it is an S video there's an input over on this side and right there and just from looking at the picture initially you could tell there's a lot of processing going on here because it's definitely giving me a 480i image like it's scaled up from 240p so interesting to see it'll be interesting to see the lag test results of this TV and more all right so yeah there you can see that's the first test I did that's really all the testing I did on this set I did well I played some played some Mario played some revenge revenge right and that's really I've got on that one because this literally happened two nights ago and now we can look at the one that I think is probably a bit more exciting more exciting if you're actually looking for something I think to play games on and that is this dinoflat the Samsung dinoflat everybody so the dinoflat was sitting right next to it it is insurrection industries on that cable so we'll figure all that stuff out a lot of people are asking about modern consoles I'm gonna lag test every input see what it does kind of on a scaling a scaling thing see what it's trying to do because there might be some good resolutions for it for gaming otherwise it might just end up as like a weird movie style watching CRT all right so the dinoflat pro another 27 inch this looks a lot like a 27 inch Trinitron kind of from the front it's got the silver bezel you get half the big fat circular power button menu plus minus channel up and down this this looks a lot like what you'd expect like if you weren't paid attention walking past it you could think this was a Trinitron almost right so it's kind of a copy off that this is the earliest so that is right here covered in a bunch of funk has the same cool s video input on the side though and this time they've added a headphone jack right there so you could plug in your whatever you want to you could actually plug in a stereo or anything out of that and get s video right there so this one you kind of tell from the back it's much broader much wider definitely packs I feel like a little bit more weight if you look here at our information this family must have loved Samsung because they bought these two big TVs around the same time period in the middle to early middle 2000s so this one was made in 2003 March 190 watts okay cat K558 chassis and then if you look over here at the model number it's a TXN 2745 fp and then we get over here the inputs and you can just see some more skies on here and look I don't like that skies and neither do you so it's okay if you if you don't want to look if you dislike the skies you can also dislike this show go ahead just hit the dislike no I'm just kidding hit the hit the like button if you can please I know it's the it's the shameless promoter in me I seem to have to ask it a couple times just to remember so if you have come in and you haven't done so already please do help us out by dropping a like so that more people know we're live today for this wonderful Friday and got a different level of funk on this one it looked a little bit like smoke or stuff I'm not entirely sure you can tell where the there's a lot of discoloration on this plastic I want to I I want to say this one unfortunately it's gonna need a real deep cleaning because it probably it probably needs it probably needs a deep bath from cigarette smudge all right let's go this has this is a little bit weird you got to go by this guide up top you don't just get to have a number next to them so the component is wired like this you have your top wires and that's how you go in for component input two there's a component input one down here but so you can also use component input one as video on the side or so this is not independent this first component input it's Daisy chaining or stealing signals with this over here so understand that it's a weird feature on some of these televisions where they share an input even though they're different things and you cycle through the menu on this television which I won't show I didn't show in pictures and it actually just says as video AV or component sorry wrong direction but how this works is though that input see how it's listed right here is on that same direct line as this input down here and this audio input right here so weird okay then you have your composite video in right here and in stereo and then you have an out output again so you can put these on loops that's the cool thing about I don't know why they did this because I never did this growing up and I don't remember anybody actually doing this seeing this anywhere where people have multiple TVs hooked up in their house on loops like that maybe somebody did I never noticed it and if anybody could think of that please tell us a story and then you have the same kind of thing going on right here where you can use this as a video three input by using the green the white and the red together or you can use all five of those together to do a component in two input yeah I know professional monitors can right race I just never thought and hey Stefan I just never thought you would see that I never thought of practical use for that unless you're recording something I don't know this was that was there anybody who actually ever did that in the family I don't know never really remembered here we have fat boy much wider much wider mm-hmm you know I got the best pictures here look at this there's the Hulkster and more of the Hulkster looked awesome this was a lot better I got it doesn't show you know scan lines like a traditional scan line but it looked awesome so that was it for it being in use let me see if I go back to Twitter if I could find the video okay of it being used yes I can it's right here make sure you got plenty of volume we'll go back and start this video oh yeah this is awesome that's right I got the other Samsung trash picked CRT working and wow I really like this one flat screen it's called the Dyna flat pro I'll show you the model number here in a second I just want you to see some of the well the best wrestling game in the world what a throwback such a great entrance look at that get your n64 juices flowing there's my man DDP helping me get back in shape taking a stop sign to the face here's that model number if you want to see it let's see there you go TXN 2745 something plethora of inputs he's an S video on the side what what love that all right that's that's a look at those two now what what depending on how look depending on how good these what'd you say what'd you say oh okay like depending on how how successful these like showdown videos are and it's also gonna depend on my ability to get rid of or move I guess some of these CRTs eventually and but anyway I if like this is a good time where I could do a showdown next of these two facing off so let's hope that those videos do well and we'll keep going with them and that'd be fun structure to do for a while the live shows with the more in-depth things and then the quick hitters with the showdown style where you get actually look at more than one device well folks that's the you know teasers for video let's go now and get things ready so we can actually look at this lovely amazing CRT we have here to my right and I think it might be on the left side of your screen it's a Sony Trenatron let's check the model number here we're a little we're a little fuzzy it's the TR 24 the TR 24 so before we do anything on the inside let me look up some information on the TR 24 and something tells me that if I look up the Sony KV 13 TR 24 I'm gonna end up at the CRT database so shout out to Andy King there let's let's see what what this has to say about this CRT 27 wait a second wait a second where's the 24 now that says the 27 interesting okay oh PO 17 looks like you didn't overview on this you're coming up here all right let's look at the manual for it I'm finding the manual on Sony's website here pull that over to the side and I'll show you what I'm looking at so you don't just have to look at my face okay let's look at here we go blar blar how could they actually have the warranty and safety information still available on this TV stupid come on Sony do better than that for me okay well that's not exactly what I was looking for and see if anything shows up there's a manual here yes this is it the P3B chassis which apparently cannot be modified for s video or it can't be modified for s video I think but it cannot be modified for RGB zoom in a little bit here and we'll see if there's anything important to look at I want to when I it's always good to do this check out the disassembly section of a thing before you actually take it apart right okay now this does have a remote control I don't have the remote control for it unfortunately and Cole is snoring away snoring snoring snoring now this is some things I couldn't get to adjust because I didn't have the actual remote of course right you can't enjoy that you can't enjoy the TV without the remote anyway we're gonna skip these remote sections this is what we need our dissection well it doesn't even show us the removal of the shell does it that's interesting usually when you do this it will show you how to remove the shell but it doesn't appear to do that and it looks like this TV may only have one board and it's on the side okay well this will be interesting let's open it up yes snuffer-stuffer throwing you off with the Friday stream what's up alright let's anyway you can find this on the internet archive okay you can find the actual manual here but just like everything from Sony it's it leaves you wanting you leave me wanting Sony wanting more information well there we go see this is what I was looking for it would be somewhere is the parts breakdown shows you a little bit more on how the skillet comes apart so weird it was showing me the board was under on the side is it I guess we'll see now let's let's go back here to reality for a second let's open this thing and see what's inside okay yeah I probably should just go ahead and pick up the remote to add it to the bundle so this simple design I do love the aesthetics this is one of those that Sony got right with the aesthetics but I don't believe it's just really basic kind of hardware so we got some screws on the back here I'm gonna prop this up onto my actual workspace here so I'm gonna move some things around gonna kick this playlist back on and welcome back it is time now to open a CRT with Steve the internet CRT repairman oh oh yes she's heavy she's heavy leaving you heavy today taking your travels away I knew I knew I was using too short of a screwdriver let's bring out the big boy well you can easily jam in there and kind of trade deep into that plastic now today CRT comes in with a birth date of January of 1993 so everyone we have a 20 30 year old 30 year old beautiful CRT oh baby how are we doing out there to everybody get freaked out whoa that's not the right spot that's what she said screws are in there deep you know these these 30 years of tried and true relationship there between plastic and brass that takes human interaction to break I don't know if there's more than these yes I see one at this little baby input board back here we've got we're gonna we're gonna have one more screw at the very back this is such a lovely screwdriver I love this screwdriver because I can just sit back here relax take out a lovely lovely screw look at that thing yes so it's true I've got a brass screw right here for you yeah I do like these Trinitrons so this is the plan let's get it juiced up and cleaned up and the goal here is to let's let's be honest this is gonna be like a fundraiser part for the trip made for the convention trip I do have a good portion of my expenses covered by the convention okay like I do have a sponsor for that and to try to you know offset some of the extra costs for time and things that's why we'll be running the raffle for the CRTs what about up here you guys want a dual view and ladies and gentlemen would you like a dual view let's see what's let's see what it looks like from the desk view you know see we're oh I gave you a little bit of a hint there we're gonna be using the PC core graphics sunlight for the first time in three decades can you say you've been waiting that long actually this isn't even sunlight that's not fair sorry and I'd see again what were they talking about what were they talking about in the manual instead these boards were like on the side lovely lovely here we are first back here we have very interesting design we get the neckboard and then just a main board down here speaker up on the side right up in here over here where my finger is and then our lovely anode cap which will check out in a second excellent okay so let me bring you down to disassembly town okay and look at this hi-tech show look at this show who else is doing this huh who else is doing this stuff right I mean this is you have to admit it's at least a unique experience right so what we're gonna do is we're gonna disassemble this thing I'm gonna get you a view in here so you can see it better and watch me as I go so to speak because I'm gonna pull this board it this whole board and then we're gonna clean it up we'll put it back in there and make some adjustments let me be a little bit better for you I hope maybe yeah that's better oh that's wonderful okay there we go so I'm gonna start there's a clip not a clip it's not even but it's a bendable piece here that's got a plastic coating that I'm just pulling that out of the way so it's not gonna put keep tension on that power cable right there and this power cable can stay here with this shell it doesn't matter because it also can come out from right there our AC power cable right there like that no we're not taking a pattern this is the if you want to go back to love dog you watch at the beginning we've gone through the first two big ones and we're on to we're starting with the Sony that we're taking apart is a smaller one I can't fit the same song down here right now so this is the this is a 13 inch Sony TR AV 13 TR 24 alright so if we if I direct your attention over here I'm gonna undo this class this plastic clasp or clip and then we have this cable right here this is a degausing cable this is where the degauser would connect down into the board right there and I don't believe it matters which orientation you have in him but I'm just gonna say I'm gonna put a black mark where the actual black end is on its own so it's come back and refer to that because I don't know that it matters on a degausing coil if you put it in backwards but hold tight with me and let me come back and grabbing marker and we put a mark on the side that has down here I'm gonna put a mark on the side that has the black cable right here that's the inside there we go now we'll know where it goes and so other things when we're when we're gonna disassemble this we need to unplug right so I don't think we're gonna have to unplug anything else on the input board right here no that all looks good now there's cable right here that's weak we're gonna pull I'm gonna keep all these boards together when I pull them so I'm gonna keep my back up a little give you a little better better view from a higher elevation now but I'm gonna pull the neck board off and then I'm gonna pour all the boards as a bundle right there okay so we're going to we've got that disconnected we just have to make sure that a couple things are completely disconnected to do that the right way so another thing I need to disconnect is our yoke cable so wherever the yoke is bundled in there's another one of these little things right here that this little guy right here that that holds the cable bundle to the board got undo that and this bundle I don't know whether this is what I'm looking for or not so this is interesting I'm doing this class let's see what's going on here because I just need this bundle that's what I thought I was confused for a second I thought does this bundle go into the neck board and then down to the main board for a deflection yoke because if so I have never seen that in my life I didn't think Sony would be that wild with anything like well they make that difference so I've what I've just disconnected and hey everybody I have still not discharged this to your television so maybe we'll get lucky it'll spark discharge has not happened yet Abe so well we'll do that in a second so this is one thing you have done plug it's the deflection yoke okay and horizontal and vertical deflection and that ties around to the yoke that's attached to the tube so that's got to stay there and then if I look over here you could see it really well from that I have to disconnect this this is a ground connection I hope you all are doing wonderful and enjoying today's show thank you everybody who has hit the like button so far it really does help I can tell there's been more people here the shows continuing to grow now look I know it's going to be a huge anomaly and that there was going to be a lot more people at the last episode because it's safety it's a topic everybody gets crazy about I put it down and and tweeted about it being like the forbidden topic and so that's you know that's to be expected to get high numbers for that high like ratio so I really but please if you can and you haven't already do that for me it does help and if you have thank you again for doing it you saw me I just removed the neckboard right here and all the pins are okay and there we go and see this is that cable for the ground loop and the I'm saving the best for last which is the cable right here which is our anode cable okay good Joe glad to hear that okay God everybody who wants to watch this is enjoying it I just want to make sure that oh yeah see this primary board is not secured with anything so it's ready to pull out she's ready to be pulled out ladies and gentlemen we just have one more one more step to accomplish here let's see if we get a spark let's see if we get a Zapper Roo now normally I wouldn't do it like this but what the heck I'm gonna actually hook the other end of this up to my ground right to the ground loop the grounding out of my house oh the speaker oh thank you I was wondering what you were talking about thanks for reminding me I almost did try to pull it out let me show you what I'm talking about sorry sorry folks almost made a mistake thank you for the help PO I do need to disconnect the audio speaker down here see it's right here you could see it like dummy don't do it disconnect a seven it's a it's a largey so this is just right down here in the middle try to see if you can see that one right there there we go that's better there we go there we go thank you thank you for your help group effort I will disconnect this okay alright folks I really really am going to take a second here and just remind everybody that folks this is a live show and anything can happen and just because I am foolish enough to do a thing here in front of you the live audience doesn't mean that you should go and attempt this same stunt without knowing full well what you're about to partake in so with those lovely last words let me proceed with her next step and that would be my favorite part discharging I just do not know what's wrong with me folks I'm sorry I apologize I apologize to you wonderful people I do and if those are my final words then shame on me let's find a good spot to plug into because I don't yeah I don't really want to plug in over the house it's gonna be too awkward so I've got it on the ground plate which is just a plate like this plate right here you see this piece of metal there's another piece of that piece of that on the bottom so man I really I wish I don't it's not going it's not going to zap stony right and get least I'd like to get it's not gonna zap right but what if it did zap what if it did zap is this gonna be the moment that's the peak moment of the stream of the show I've put too much pressure on myself let me fold this lip back for all of you I just don't I just don't think it's going to see that metal can you see it got it I can't get too close to it the foolishness of this person named Steve there it is let's see here we go oh baby no zap unfortunately what an unsatisfactory climax for you oh I'm sorry to disappoint we need to find a Toshiba that's 14 inches on on the double there you go that's what that center looks like right there got a little bit of grease and you do you understand how that works let me show you let's get a little closer or so the way this works is see it just closes like that's the idea you just you're just putting enough pressure to push this together so then it releases out of the anode hole where the cap attaches to and then it just spreads apart what's inside there and it makes contact with the ring the ring inside there which is down and down in that darkness right there right there right there and that's not a deep hole it doesn't go all the way down to the tube it's very small there you go folks I survived to tell another day and I know if all of you could you'd you'd like it you'd like the video again for me but YouTube won't let you do it once so that's okay let's get that tool out of here and now we're ready folks we're ready now let me go back to the facial view we can move our camera to a better spot yes that will be nice wouldn't it that would be fun let's pull this board it's just gonna come it's just gonna come right out and I want to see if that looks it let's see what this looks like yeah that's that's okay so this is fine everything's disconnected and out of the way double check all that and like yes yes yes yes yes yes oh yes before before we get freaky with this board let's do some stuff with this over here now look the caps could hold a little charge spiritual light or spy I don't know why you call her spiritual light spiral light spiritual light that's what we're exuding on today's Friday stream what can I say oh who knew you could finally connect the spiritual with the material and all it would take is a old CRT the grease is the grease or you want to know die electric grease yes sorry so I'm just taking a simple horsehair brush here which is non-conductive and I'm gonna get in here and just need some happy little trees on this CRT gun okay now one thing you don't want to do is this area I'm sweeping brushing is the area that controls convergence and purity okay and you need to everybody knows about the rings usually everybody usually knows about these rings they control purity and convergence so you don't want to move them so hopefully they're still in place and you know it's not a bad idea to go in here and make a mark leave your mark they say they say when you've been somewhere let them know you were there so we'll leave our mark here and we're gonna put a line here so that all these we know if anything ever happens in these move we'll align them all on that mark we'll line them up on that point we even got a little spot there on the yoke and you never know those things could shift and it could could ruin your day so that's been marked hopefully that's all stays but the other thing is this little guy no one ever sees this thing usually this is an additional part that can slide shift pull out fall out and it just it's a fork it goes in there and it's got more magnets on it and it controls your purity your yoke control so folks I just dusted freaking 30 year old gosh darn dust into my face that's the most dangerous thing I've ever done on stream can you believe that so get in there give them some broad strokes knock all that dirt off gonna get that top level dirt out of the way we're already seeing seeing some I think I already did I think I already snuffed snuffed snuffle up against half of it up my up my lovely sinuses I'm gonna have a wonderful evening of hacking and coughing baby let's get aggressive now let's get aggressive fleek sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep away all right interesting nothing you know nothing out of the ordinary here yokes looking good excellent whoa now that was almost a doozy look at that folks that was almost right in my I was about to smash myself with the CRT tube that was gonna be not very fun yeah this one looks pretty good I mean 30 years you would expect it to look much worse inside than this if it had been smoked in at all or I mean it probably wasn't even used too much that's even better let me move the camera sorry folks get jerky for a second and show you something else here so my little dustblower let's hopefully protect ourselves it's some kind of dust pocket in there it's like the dust bowl Oklahoma dust bowl of 1920 just hit it happen at the back of this CRT yoke stay out there yonder well you get a blast to that right to the sinus that's my old heal Billy relative farmer that probably wasn't a past life Steve excellent excellent folks hope everybody's having fun whoa no I don't got the air compressor down here I just got the I just got this one that's right handy dandy blower you just double-click to engage the automatic mode and blow that dust into oblivion all right there we go we'll need some more of that in a minute cuz I gotta I gotta clean the boards also remember so if you missed the first time I blasted dust in my face you'll get another chance this is awesome really feeling good today folks except for the fact that I left something upstairs now I wouldn't normally recommend this okay but sometimes you just got to improvise and I'd rather not waste a lot of your you wonderful people's lovely time here by going upstairs and trying to find an actual paper towel so we're gonna use shaman instead and oh this is so velvety you know I understand everybody loves this stuff okay we're gonna use this to polish up over here polish this polish this glass encased crt gun here I'm about to go right there and do that yeah I don't recommend I don't recommend using canned air because I'm sorry if that camera is glitching out don't worry it'll stop in a second sometimes it does that I'm I'm I'm waiting for Prime Day to replace it actually Logitech and I don't have any I don't have any hookups with anybody like that but Logitech has a new presentation camera coming out called the reach and I don't believe it's gonna be out that soon but that's really what I want because it's a bendable for presentation style stuff and it's much higher resolution and right now I'm capped at 1080 30 frames which is not a problem I don't care about that but what I don't want is I don't want glitching out I don't want I don't want a bunch of wasted resources on things like firmware updates that are not firmware I'm sorry bloatware you know what I mean that's the crap that nobody wants like that razor camera is junk because it has so much software and I don't know what it's doing behind the scenes but it's it's it's causing it caused my machine to crash so many times it's been retired so this Logitech camera hopefully will save the day soon I just have to wait for it to come out and then it's like a whole presentation thing it's perfect all right yeah this is just like if it's soft enough for your bum if it's soft and soft and velvety enough for your bum it's definitely good enough for a CRT tube look at that I mean can you can you see it tell me can you like right there can you see it I can I see it's your reflection it's right there yeah the you knew there would be come a time when I would not I would no longer I would no longer require this there was always going to be a moment when I would no longer require require this to be cheesy and it's we're getting very close okay we're getting very close I will no longer need this guide I will have plenty of bad jokes oozing from my from my mouth soon enough it's our yoke cable I told you before those just go straight up here into the yoke into the yoke windings and that's where all that lovely deflection occurs that lovely deflection such a miracle all that right so this is our tube number look at that you're gonna get to see what kind of tube is in this we have first off this side do you see where it's got this dull paint don't wipe that very I mean you could go over it very lightly but don't wipe it because it will remove that and that's not that's not meant to be removed okay that's aqua dag it's it's meant to be there you need it there you don't want to remove it you'll see through your tube then a 34 JB you one zero X to tube all right okay that's pretty good oh yeah so there's some grease up here dielectric grease I'm gonna rub the rest of that out yeah we'll put some fresh on there before we put it back together or when we put it back together but for now do that wipe that all out it's nothing else inside it it's shelf there's a like some button plastic and that's really it there's nothing in the front there's a warning on here about to knock it sometimes does it's gotta touch it it won't blow off especially it's been there for 30 years it's dedicated you know that's true dedication 30 years to be attached to something for 30 years all right I'm gonna give one more blow job yes I did say that in a completely harmless way is that even okay like is it okay to say that how bad has this been like I literally just said I'm about to give this a blow job in a completely normal sense right you ready Sony am I the only one here is the audience runaway yet you should if you haven't already because you may get in trouble for watching this I don't know maybe this is the time when I finally ruin everybody's fun I hope not we're all adults right we all need a good laugh sometimes and laugh at me if you can or whatever all right good stuff excellent so we can probably set this aside I'm not worried about cleaning the outside I think that if we can get this all put together and tested that might be quite an accomplishment today cuz I'm already I'm already getting hard close to gets my hard deadline I'm on fire today here we go so now we're going overhead and similarly to what I just did with that I'm gonna I'm gonna come in here and sweep this place clean sweep sweep sweeping that's all I'm talking about it's all I'm talking about here I understand it has noise cancellation did it just oh it does have awesome noise cancellation oh good I thought you're saying I was canceled I hope everybody gets to at least have this fun one day a year at work okay please I hope everybody gets the opportunity to have this this much fun at least one day a year at work I want to make sure I don't like there's a switch right here for example it's probably just a spot that will decide whether it's left or right leaning there's another one you can take all these and make some awesome punchlines so I don't want to mess with that switch there's other dials on here I'm not quite sure what they're doing but I'm sure that some of them like this sub count okay there are we'll look at it here we'll look closer because they are doing some adjustments and I'll show you and yes I highly recommend that little thing I mean it's a pain in the neck because you do have to charge it a lot the AFMAT little blower blowjobber but it saves you because I think it's like 50 bucks or something and you can get that on Prime Day okay I think that's coming up if you're in the United States like 10th I'm gonna make this a priority to finally put together a parts list of things and pools and everything and publish it somewhere and that way all this stuff will be in one central spot so you go oh what's he using and I'll go check out the parts list go there and then I get like you know a three per three to five percent commission so you're actually helping out the channel and it doesn't even like it doesn't cost you any money extra you'll actually get the best Amazon price so I just need to do that that would just be a benefit for really everybody and then I could but then I also would save myself time I wouldn't have to tell anybody where to go to look for things I could just say go to the spot and you'll find it and look it's not like huge pressure it I still have what it is is it's a supplemental tool to not having to go up and use the big time air compressor every time right it saves me that before I would have to go in here and do this outside originally or upstairs because I have the big massive one up there that's a shop air compressor and this proof this makes it so you don't actually have to do that like you can sit here and I can do this from here instead of having to worry about going in and taking this upstairs taking it out there it's much handier I've actually like I used to always use my big powerful one and now I only use the big powerful one to clean shells and I promised you I promised you what did I tell you I was gonna blast myself in the face again and that was not intentional okay that went with my mouth damn it man that didn't taste good no folks that doesn't taste good not at all okay hey did I remind you that every time you click that like button it helps me a lot it helps me not ingest one particle of the 200 that I just inhaled yep that's what you're like can do thank you thank you all and with that being said let's continue on I'll try to back up I'll put the stuff on my face cuz that's not a good spot to be digging in no that's not a good spot man this smells like I don't know like you walked into a thrift store and you know you're digging through stuff and you just it just has that old smell that old smell now this is actually nice looking board this board doesn't have a lot of anything on it quite clean you know look at that that's just that's what I love to see baby beauty beauty edits finest the good thing is yeah this I mean this is gonna be a nice treat for somebody to pick up it does not have a lot of wear and tear on it at all parts are still in great great shape and hopefully I didn't do it do any damage while I was dancing around acting like a fool here on the show today I believe I did so we'll get to put it back together here neckboard has actually probably been a hand-soldered re-soldered looks like no bad solder joints to see on there cool neckboard look at this a neckboard with no capacitors that's awesome too because then you don't have to worry about heat well it has a capacitor I didn't mean no capacitors I meant no capacitors that you really have to worry about disintegrating or deteriorating like electrolytics we've got potentiometers here that control you see it blue drive green drive blue black blue green black and then red black I think is what they say BKG I think that's what it says I can't remember what that seems for but that's the darker parts of the colors and then what else we got sub bright so that's actually the sub bright is on the neckboard right here and that's what I need to adjust because it's just too bright so that's cool that's what I need to adjust down here we have this is great to have by the way to have these adjustments on a set like this this is our horizontal static convergence control right here so we'll tweak that make sure that's good this is our screen potentiometer right here so our g2 voltage is controlled from here similarly to the PVMs and same thing over here focus we have focused so far we want to touch up our focus we'll do that okay and if we look down in here we'll find some other things to adjust right this would be sync separation chroma why amplifier not really gonna be worried about these horizontal oscillation right okay like that's not what we need to be adjusting we've got sub contrast right here and then sub hue so there is some color adjustment again right we can do right there come over here we have an audio level adjustment I've never seen one of those tension over here for an audio level adjustment some of these are not marked so I'm it's fv I'm not sure what that means so I would I would refer to the manual before even touching that video level over in this area vertical size right here so vertical size is controlled right there I don't see any other that's insane I don't see any other controls like there's there's they're missing there's a vertical in the airty pot spot missing just don't see wheels to adjust the other stuff that's crazy okay so that's the thing you don't get a lot of adjustment maybe there's some adjustment in the logic I don't know I don't know so this is our board for it I give it I'm gonna give it the same treatment I gave its tube is a much deserving below job after all that sweep down we're gonna give it a blowjob to just need to cover up just need to put on some protection before I get in here and do this good enough that's what they always say it's good enough you know you did you attempted you did it you did it all right before you get double vision there before you get too much double vision let's let's put the tube and the party back together and let's get this band reunited see if we can't have ourselves a little fun with the reunion tour you know gonna get the old neckboard together with tube and the deflection board for one last hurrah yeah that's that strength baby numbers strength good good good yeah all right let's get the board back in here and this I mean I'm not I don't even think I have to show you that from that angle you may be able to see right there so I'm just sliding this back in where it was I'm gonna make sure that's up and out of the way and these other cables are up and out of the way everything's out of the spots that I'm going in and slide this bad boy down in there you see maybe I can get you a view how about that okay and just as she left a second ago she's going to take your time don't force anything yes it's will okay there we go it's in there all right see you pay it PO thanks for hanging out all right now we've got to reconnect some stuff don't win let's get this first off okay you see I'm just connect reconnecting this yoke assembly just to get it out of the way that's the first thing what else we disconnect we have a speaker connection that we need to reconnect over in here make sure if you can see it let me get you there see right there oh look at that we have I've really been just just doing a disservice to all of you I apologize for not having a light on earlier I'm also gonna make sure the other cables are nicely seated and connected I've got this degausing cable remember was one of the first things we disconnected the black cable goes over here just like that the white on the other side it's like that and that's the power cable the only thing left from what I can tell is if we look back here now we're gonna I'm gonna reattach the neckboard let's see okay so what I'll first connect here it's a ground cable right there doesn't matter which way you stick that in same I'm gonna slip that right over over there I'm gonna push from the center slide right over top there and push it in there all those pens are lined up that's all you need to do everything's good except for big zappy zappy over here we need to make sure we just rub him down and reconnect him so I do need something else I can't use Sherman for that that's too soft hey if you're wondering what my boy Cole's doing he's all right isn't this crazy he's been sleeping the whole time you can hear him all right do I think it needs a cap kit no not from what I've seen so far I wouldn't do that unless so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna sell it for a price or I'm gonna have it raffled and then if somebody I don't want to I don't want to invest a bunch of money into it if somebody you know here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna offer a couple CRTs at the show and then I'm gonna be prepared to do a restoration on the site of one of them or two of them if somebody wants to pay me to do that right so if you want to pay me the price and the labor to restore this I'll bring caps with me and my tools and I'll sit there in the live retro tech booth where I'll be and I will restore this CRT fully and if not I'll just sell it I'll just sell it in the raffle okay cool look there's the cap fully cleaned up now that's a bit too close to the camera but that's it now you don't have to get too creative anything when you add this next ingredient but and yeah you don't have to really do too much I've got this right here this is dielectric grease premium dielectric grease from CRC and I'm just gonna open it up and I'm just gonna squirt some of this grease up in that up in that hole baby you know got a little bit you don't have to do any more than that that's all you really need right up in that hole and then I'm gonna just stick this guy I'm gonna pinch it back together and I'm gonna stick it in there and wiggle it around so that all gets all inside this cap nicely and stuff all that grease get it greasy just like that and I'll kind of I'll try to slide it back and forth and that's all she wrote right there look how clean that looks now remember how we started let's give it one last blow all right good now I'm gonna just so I'm gonna read reconnect some of these cable connections just to you know keep these bundles of cables kind of come together and out of the way a little bit like they were originally so we'll bundle all these together and then that should be good and there's one more cable you guys are pretty laughing at me it wouldn't matter you wouldn't be able to start it without the next cable which is the power cable it's over here it's supposed to get connected down over here remember first thing we removed and that needs to go back so I think that this connected maybe both of these maybe just the degausing cable maybe not I'm not sure it's very tiny it's very tiny so it looks like it just maybe connected to I don't know I'll just do that let me get this power cable in and we're gonna put this bad boy up and hopefully hopefully we did no harm hopefully we did no harm all right so yeah if you want to get services done I mean you really should just go check out my patreon account I think that is linked in the description it should be and that's where you can get any kind of information about that there's a you know there's also a wait list there so it's not as if you get your quote and then you have plenty time to think about it because or even if you have to I don't know some people if you have to save up I'm not sure waition

From Cris: "Famous Democrat & Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz filed his statement, which appeared on the Court Docket on Oct. 20, 2021, in support of former President Donald Trump's right to freedom of speech on Facebook. This case is currently before the Federal Court in Miami, Florida, Trump v. Facebook & Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg's attorneys are arguing that the case should be moved to California. Meanwhile, Trump's attorneys are filing statements by various people, the most surprising to many people is that Democrat and Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz is still in favor of freedom of speech, even for former President Trump. This was mentioned by many news sources on Oct. 20, 2021." In this video, Cris Ericson reads the entire statement of Alan Dershowitz as submitted to the Court. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO. 21-22440-CIV-WILLIAMS/MCALILEY DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Plaintiffs, v.

My name is Chris Erickson and I bring you good news for people who love freedom of speech. This is excellent news. Famous law professor emeritus, a Democrat, a famous Democrat, Alan Dershowitz of Harvard University has filed a document in favor of President Donald Trump having his freedom of speech. Now, this document was filed in the lawsuit in federal court in Miami, Florida where Donald Trump is suing Facebook for kicking him out. So famous Democrat, Harvard emeritus professor Alan Dershowitz has filed a document in favor of Donald Trump having his freedom of speech. So for anyone who's interested in freedom of speech, this is really important. I will read to you from the actual court document. You can see it at courtlistener.com which is a non-profit. They grab the court documents off of the dot gov site and move them over to their site so you can see them for free. And I'll start off by reading to you a little bit from harvard.edu so if you're not familiar with famous Democrat law professor Alan Dershowitz, I'll give you a little bit of information about him first and then I'll read from the court document. Alrighty, this is from harvard.edu and it's a little bit about professor Alan M. Dershowitz. He's a Brooklyn native. He's been called the nation's most parapetetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights. He's the best known criminal lawyer in the world. He's the top lawyer of last resort. He's America's most public Jewish defender and Israel's single most visible defender. The Jewish state's lead attorney in the court of public opinion. He is the Felix Frankfurter professor of law at Harvard Law School. Alan M. Dershowitz is a graduate of Brooklyn College and Yale Law School and he joined a Harvard Law School faculty at age 25 after clerking for Judge David Basilon and Justice Arthur Goldberg and it goes on and on and on and on and on. He's very famous in 1983. The Anti-Defamation League of the Ben Eye Brith presented him with the William O. Douglas First Amendment Award for his compassionate, eloquent leadership and persistent advocacy in the struggle for civil and human rights. And presenting the award, Nobel laureate Ellie Weasel said, if there had been a few people like Alan Dershowitz during the 1930s and 1940s, the history of European Jewry might have been different. So they go on and on and on about him. He's very famous. Okay, now I'm going to read from the actual court document in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Civil Action Number 1, 21-CV-22440-KMW. Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States and a bunch of his friends, the plaintiffs versus Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg defendants, Declaration of Alan M. Dershowitz, entered on the Florida docket October 20, 2021, affidavit in support of motion for preliminary injunction. Before me, the undersigned personally came and appeared Alan M. Dershowitz, who being first duly sworn and deposed said, I am the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Emeritus at Harvard University. I am a Democrat who has voted for every Democratic candidate for president since 1960. I have long supported freedom of speech without regard to partisanship. I served on the National Board of the ACLU and on Harvard Law School's Committee on Free Speech. I have received several awards for my defense of free speech and have argued numerous free speech cases in the courts, including the Supreme Court. I have written extensively about freedom of speech and the First Amendment. Two of my recent books, Cancel Culture and the Case Against the New Censorship, deal with the issue in this case. A copy of my current curriculum vitae is attached to Exhibit 1. I have previously been qualified to testify as an expert in public law. I have reviewed the complaints to be filed in this matter attached to Exhibit 2. And I have been asked to offer my opinion as to whether or not the request for preliminary injunctive relief sought herein satisfies the criteria of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 65. In the case of Winter vs. Natural Resources Defense Council 555 US 7 in the year of 2008, the Supreme Court described the balance test for whether a preliminary injunction is appropriate. A court needs to examine whether the plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits, whether the plaintiff is likely to suffer irreparable harm without the injunction, whether the balance of equities and hardships is in the plaintiff's favor and whether no injunction is in the public interest. My opinion is that the plaintiff's right to speak freely has been seriously compromised by Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, the rights of his audience to have access to his views have also been curtailed. The question of social media censorship under Section 230 is an issue of major legal importance and I believe the allegations of the complaints which I have reviewed raise serious substantial legal issues, some of which have not been heretofore litigated. A preliminary injunction is in the public interest. Censoring the 45th President of the United States, the leader of the Republican Party will have an adverse and unknowable effect on the 2022 elections. The number of people the former president reached through social media was staggering. The presidency demands a level playing field. Unless preliminary relief is granted, it is likely that the censorship imposed by Facebook and Twitter will impact the 2022 elections. The precise effect of continuing censorship is unpredictable, but it is likely to have a profound effect which will cause the plaintiff and the electorate irreparable harm. Alan M. Dershowitz. Well, all right, well thank you for listening. That was the statement of famous Democrat Harvard law professor emeritus Alan M. Dershowitz entered into the case of Donald Trump and his pals against Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. And I thought you'd want to listen because it's nice to hear a Democrat say that freedom of speech is important and taking away someone's freedom of speech causes irreparable harm. So I hope you'll listen to this. I hope you'll share it with your friends. Tell your friends about cctv.org in Burlington, Vermont. They're doing a great job. Thank you very much. My name is Chris Erickson.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQqWdOkfeSE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCFqLzRqS_WRsVrna8CBtRag	What's Your Brand?	What's Your Brand? Learn from the best... He's a best selling author , traveler and entrepreneur and marketing expert.	null	2022-02-11T06:42:38	2024-04-23T04:24:28	4,454	ZQ9UYHt-Qig	Hey y'all, hey y'all, hey y'all, super excited. I got a special guest today that I cannot wait to introduce you all to. Somebody I've gotten to know now over the last year, almost a year and a half, and not only does he have an unbelievable background, a story of going for your dreams, jumping for your dreams, jumping for your really the future that you want, but he's also become a good friend of mine and somebody that I've learned a lot from. Actually, about two and a half weeks ago, he took me through a little marketing lesson. And I kind of knew what I was doing, and it was so eye-opening to me, especially I've been doing this for a while and realizing that I'm not really specific in who I'm trying to talk to. I'm kind of everywhere. I'm like the shotgun approach. And it was really awesome to see like, hey, if I can really narrow in and focus on who I want to attract and what I want to go after. And it's amazing what will come your way. And so I'm super excited to introduce him to you in a second, you can see him on my screen. But before we do that, I wanted to touch on something is that, I've been improving now for six years. Before Prove It, or almost seven years. I didn't look at myself as a marketer or a business person. I looked at myself as somebody that was passionate to help other people. I had financial goals. What's up Peggy? I had financial goals that I wanted to accomplish. And a good friend of mine said something he's like, but you have to recognize we're in community-based marketing. He goes, yeah, you want to share your product and you got to be passionate about your product. But at the end of the day, you're also in marketing. And I'm like, well, can I market? How do I do that? What do I need to do to become a marketer? He's like, you're already doing it. He goes, you're already doing it. You're just not consciously aware of what you're doing. And I was like, well, okay. So how do I become consciously aware? So what I want to do for you all the day and I'm super excited to introduce Corey to you because he is a marketer, but he actually consciously understands marketing and he's going to give us some really cool tips. So get your pen and paper out. I got mine. Get your pen and paper out and we're going to dive into how do you find your brand? How do you start understanding marketing for yourself to help you share if it's Provit, if it's Ketones or whatever you're doing in your life. How do you do that in a bigger way? So Corey, it's great to have you on. Awesome. Great to be here, Dustin. Thanks for the intro. Yeah. Hey guys, I'm super excited. So give Corey, if you're watching this, replay, watch this live, give him some love and shout outs. He's an absolute rock star, not only worked at the corporate world for PepsiCo, he's going to talk about himself here in a little bit. He's a multiple best-selling author. He has big goals, big dreams and wants to make a big impact in the world. His contribution to our team and community has been remarkable and I take notes from him. So I'm going to encourage you all to take some notes and let's find your marketing strategy. So Mr. Corey, we got a crew of people around the world wanting to know more about marketing, their niche, how to find their target market, maybe how to find their brand. Absolutely. I love this conversation. So I worked for this little teeny company called PepsiCo for a long time and I realized that my higher purpose is not selling people soda and chips but I want to actually help people get healthier. And I found the proof of conversation almost two years ago and I've had the honor and privilege to meet people like Dustin on the screen and a lot of other people in the company. And honestly, the vision of Provid aligns with my higher purpose to help people become the best version of themselves. And so it's just a perfect alignment. And a lot of the experience that I've kind of built in the corporate world has been able to help me in my Provid business. And I would love to share some things that I've learned along the way to really help you grow your own business. Because I think a lot of times, like you said, Dustin, we don't realize that we are a brand. You know, I Corey Calvin brand, Dustin Schaefer. I mean, on the screen right now, if you look at Dustin's name, it says the Keto Pro. I mean, that is a brand, right? That's something that he's created for himself. So what I'm gonna do, I worked in many different roles at PepsiCo in strategy and I worked with the marketing department. So I've worked with some pretty heavy-hitting hitter marketers. And I wanna share some tips and tricks that I've learned along the way that's gonna really help you begin to think about marketing, if you guys are okay with that. So hopefully I have your permission to open it up. I can't see the comments, Dustin. So feel free to chime in, interrupt me, whatever you think, I'm open to that. They are fired up, you should see the comments. Corey's the great guy, I mean, all over the world. So really quick, wherever you're in, if you're watching the live or replay, where in the world are you? We always like to see that come in because as you know, he talked about, you work for PepsiCo, that's a global brand. It doesn't have to be just your neighborhood or your next door, it can be the world. The world now is bigger, it's smaller than ever before with social media, so it's exciting to get to it. Absolutely, so actually I'm gonna talk about PepsiCo in here a second. If you think about PepsiCo, they sell you soda, I don't know if you know this, they have this big chip line called Freolet, Doritos, Cheetos, Toastitos, that's Pepsi. But if you think about it, you see advertisements all over the place. Pepsi is really a marketing company. If you think about it, you're marketing a product for you to consume. Now I'm not gonna go into if it's healthy or not, that's not the point of this conversation, but think about it, they're marketing something for you to get excited about and purchase. Think about what Proovit does. We have an amazing product that can help people, and guess what, we also market it too. Now if you're not a marketer, don't worry, don't let that word scare you because that's not the point of this conversation. I'm gonna show you from very basic things how to really develop your marketing skills. This isn't hard, some of you may be very advanced on this call, and some of you may be very, very brand new, like I didn't even know I was a brand, and that's completely fine. So I'm gonna talk to you at a level where you're learning, and for those advanced people, you're still gonna pick up something really interesting from some of the things I learned from the best minds in marketing. So let me, you know, real quick, just a level set. I started my TikTok account last year. In fact, I started my account, got blocked and started a new account. And over the past year, I built my TikTok account to 56,000 followers, and in the past 30 days, I built my Instagram, I grew my Instagram account by 10,000 followers. Now for those that are on Instagram, you know that's not easy to do, but I've developed a formula and strategy that I've proven that can really work if you just be consistent and stick with it. Let me just say that again, if you can be consistent and stick with it, right? This is not something that just happens overnight. This is something that you need to work at, but it's fun, it's fun to do this. This isn't like work to me. This is something I love to do. I know we don't have a super, super live audience. I can't see the reaction, but I want to ask you some questions just to get this conversation started to put our minds in the right space around branding and marketing, if you're open to that. I understand, let's do it. So I have something in my hand that's this, and there's a little icon on the back. Oh, look at, Dustin has that, but you see this little icon, right? Yes, sir. When you look at that, what does, what do you think about in your brain? I think about iPhone, I think about cell phones, I think about Apple creating a huge movement around the world. I think about black and white, because all their brand is black and white, it's clean. That's when I see Apple. I think about the only way to have a phone is to have an Apple phone or an iPhone. I think of iPhones, I think of music. That's what I think about. Okay, good. And all of you listening in, you're thinking of something when you see that, you're thinking of something. Okay, now what do you think about, when you see this? Oh, Starbucks. What do you think about? Coffee, I think about the smell of coffee, to be honest. I think about a really cool corner store where people are sitting and drinking and socializing. I think about a really cool brand that literally disrupted the whole coffee industry and changed the way people look at coffee and will spend money on coffee. But ultimately I think about the smell, I think I smell coffee and I think about going into a Starbucks anywhere in the world and having a cup of coffee. I love that. I think that's one and we'll move forward here. But when you see this, what comes to mind? Oh my goodness. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, just do it, not just do it, sorry. Gatorade, I think about sports, I think about football, I think about the sidelines, I think about the yellow canisters sitting on the sidelines of playing college sports. I think about the red and yellow, because back in the day, that seemed like the only colors we had. It wasn't even a flavor, it was a color, red and yellow. The red one, I want the yellow one, that's what we called it. Absolutely, I love that. I actually worked for Gatorade for a number of years and all those sideline cards I paid for, I managed Gatorade's advertising budget, which was pretty awesome to do. Anyway, side change it. But what Dustin just did and what you all did listening in is you began associate, when you saw an icon or a logo, your brain has been trained over time to recall things. If you had never seen this logo in your life, you would be like, it's the letter G with a lightning bolt in it. But Dustin immediately knew what this was, because he's an athlete in college and obviously he, and for those of you that are not athletes, you know what it is, because why? It's because it's in front of you. It's in front of you through advertisements on TV. It's in front of you through advertisements in the store. You know what that icon is or that logo is without me even telling you what it is. It's because you've been trained to remember what it is. And you have an opinion. You have an opinion about what that is. It could be a good opinion. It could be a bad opinion, but you have an opinion. Okay, and we can even do that for people. So I know we don't have a live audience, but if I were to ask someone on this call and I would love to see comments, if I said, hey, when I say the word the keto pro, what words come to mind? And if you went through the chat right now with Dustin, you can call him out. I don't know, people are alive in there. I would love to hear some of the words. If you have some people alive, we'll see how it works. Yeah, so if I say the words keto pro, the keto pro, like what are some words that you think about? When you're on a page, Dustin Schaffer's Instagram page or his Facebook page, you see the keto pro and you're gonna be getting something. Now again, it's the same thing that Dustin just did with Apple, with Gatorade, with Starbucks, because Dustin is a brand. And I want you to begin, this is the takeaway. If you don't get anything out of this conversation, I want you to know that you are a brand. Now, some of you may have taken a personal branding course or you might have some training in this through your corporation. I've had a lot of training in this. And I began to realize as an entrepreneur, as an independent promoter with Provit, I am a brand. Now, yes, Provit is a brand, right? But really, if you think about it, what are people really purchasing when they purchase ketones from you? I mean, Dustin, maybe you could share this, like when someone's purchasing ketones from you, yes, they're purchasing a pack of nat or something else, but what are they really purchasing from you, Dustin Schaffer, the keto pro? They're purchasing an environment of education, of I would say, even inspiration of improving their overall health. They're not just drinking ketones. They're getting the ability to be around somebody that wants to make the world better and wants to help them get better and wants to see them pass that onto their family. So they're getting so much more than just a pack. They're getting a community and they're getting passion, I guess, would be the thing that they're getting from me. They're gonna get recipes, they're gonna get things mostly from my social media. And so I don't actually do a ton of coaching, like one-on-one, I don't do the coaching, I just try to give them inspiration to live the best life they can. And why are they purchasing from you versus someone else maybe? That's a great question. Actually, we have a funny idea to do a live with somebody and they chose the other guy than me. And it was really funny. I love her story, Samantha, and I asked that and she goes, I connected with Rory more. She felt a connection. So why somebody might buy from me or why they might buy from Cory rather than me is that they connected to my story, to my brand, the message I'm putting out. I have crazy high energy sometimes and that's a distraction for some people. They don't like that. They're like, this guy's intense where somebody's a little bit more calm and relaxed. They might go, wow, I can really connect with that young lady. I love that she loves cats. So I think people may be detracted from your energy but also it's the opposite. Very much so. People are also attracted to that energy. Correct. I think you nailed it. People purchase stuff from you because they trust you. And you said the word brand, they trust you as a brand, as a human being. When I first started getting into this proof of business and many of you can relate to this, the number one thing that I heard is, Cory, I don't really know much about this and what you're saying sounds cool, but the reason that I purchased ketones was because I trust you. I had already developed some sort of brand along the way for people to trust me to purchase. So because I, as an influencer, as an entrepreneur, as a person, as a brand, because I shared that with them, they wanted to also use it. And so that is the concept of branding. And what I'm gonna do is that over the next, I don't know how much time, 10 minutes here, I'm gonna help you understand what is your brand. You may be asking yourself right now, okay, maybe when I asked Dustin, what do you think about what Dustin Schaefer's brand is, or Cory Calvin's brand, by the way, you can follow me on Instagram if you want, just selflesspitch at Cory.Calvin. But if you do follow me, you're going to quickly realize that my brand is way different than Dustin's brand, which is awesome because, I mean, we're different people. Just like you're different from the two of us. And I want you to begin thinking about remembering that you have some unique talents, abilities, stuff, characteristics in your life that make you unique to me versus me, right? Or versus Dustin, or versus your neighbor, or versus another proven promoter. A lot of times we love to compare ourselves to other promoters in the system, right? And say, oh, well, they have this and they have that. But it's, again, it's they have a unique brand, just like you have a unique brand. And so what I want to do is I want to walk you through some actual sizes to help you begin understanding what your brand is. Is that okay, Dustin, to go ahead and do that? Absolutely, and right before you do that, I just want everybody to know, like, I didn't know what my brand was for four years of proven. The first four years I was all over the place, I'm kind of this, I'm kind of that, I don't know where. And I didn't realize, I still had a brand, I just didn't realize what it even was because I didn't actually take time to understand it. Now I understand what my brand is and it's way more fun, like you said, it's fun when you kind of start to understand it. So be patient on the timing of figuring this out and definitely take some notes because Corey's gonna drop some nuggets for y'all. Yeah, so I think the first step, and we're gonna go through just the first step now, and I think Dustin, if we have time, we may take you more on an advanced step on step two, how to really leverage your brand. So I think before you can start, you know, going on Instagram or TikTok or Facebook or social media or even out in the world, I think it's important to know what your brand is instead of just posting a bunch of random stuff, right? Because I think a lot of times we like, we're so excited about, oh my gosh, I just joined this proved opportunity, I have to share with everybody, I just start posting all kinds of stuff. And that's cool, but what happens when people start seeing all this random stuff, like they've known you for a while if you've had any followers and all of a sudden you're posting all this stuff and it's like, who the heck is this person? I thought I was following this person and now I'm following somebody else that's posting all kinds of this ketone stuff and that's weird, but I wanna follow this person. So what I'm gonna do first is step one, let's help you identify how to discover your brand. And then step two, how to begin using that on social media to drive engagement, drive followers, building, and then even step three, and I think, I don't know, maybe this is a separate training of how to utilize, improve it in that brand to drive your business forward. But you gotta follow the step one, step two, before you can get to step three, because if you don't follow step one, it's gonna be all over the place and no one's gonna really know who you really are as a person. You might not even know who you are as a person and that's okay, this training's gonna help you do that. So let's get started. I actually have two, maybe even three, Dustin, we can come up with at least two ways for us to begin discovering what our brand is. Now, the first one, the second one is, you can do some homework and figure it out, but the first one's actually super simple and this is something that Dustin actually taught me, whether he realized it or not, but it makes a lot of sense and this is something that I've done, I just didn't realize I was doing it until we actually sat down and did it. Now, you can either follow along on your phone, if you're watching on the phone, just take some notes and do this later, but what I want you to do is I want you to begin asking yourself, what are the characteristics that represent me? And so the first thing is, I want you to actually start writing down some nouns that represent you. So the first step is, number one, nouns are like, I am a man, I am a son, I am an uncle, I am a promoter, I am an author. So what I want you to do is just start writing some things down and we're gonna narrow down this list to really discover your brand, but I think it's important for you to realize that you actually have and represent a lot of nouns. You may be a colleague, you may be a mother, maybe a grandmother, maybe you're a dog dad or dog mom. You might be an amazing father, right? You have a bunch of roles that you play in your life every day, whether you realize it or not, and we flip between these roles so quickly, we don't actually stop and think, okay, now I'm in mom role, before I was in improvement promoter role, now I'm in mom role, and now I flip back to improvement promoter role. But we do this so seamlessly, we don't think about it, but you technically are wearing different hats. It's kind of like if you had a row of hats in front of you, you're like doing this all day long, right? It's just, that's what we do. You might be a bus driver, right? What is your career? You might be an influencer, you might be an actor, you might be someone that inspires people. So write those things down, and it's okay, there's not a number that you need to get to, but just begin thinking about who you are. Why they're doing that, I'm gonna read off my list that I made after our little last session that we did a couple weeks ago. So, and actually I just added more to my list since you've been talking. So I'm a husband, I'm a father, I'm a fitness professional, I'm a travel addict. I love traveling on my health nut, Keto Pro. I wrote travel down twice because I'm so passionate about it, I'm so passionate about it. I love, I would say I'm an inspirational speaker. I love doing yourself projects, I'm one of those people like I kind of like a hand, I like to be a handyman. I put warm vacations, that's how much I love to travel, you also might, but I'm a traveler, did I say that yet? I love to work, I'm a worker. I'm kind of classified as a worker. I'm a mentor of younger people, of younger generations. So those are just a few that I put down just so if you guys are writing some down yet, a little bit of time to write them down. And in the chat, feel free to put them on. I know Natalie, she just goes, I literally just said, who am I? And I think that's a great exercise, Corey, for people just to start to identify all the amazing things that they are and that they can do and they're doing. I love that. And actually this is gonna be a tip here. We'll go into this before a little advance, but I think you can actually begin asking people, if you're stuck here, you might wanna reach out to five to 10 friends and ask and say, when you think of me, what do you think of? Don't give them any, don't lead them down a path at all. Just keep at high level and just have them go. Don't give examples, don't say am I this or that. Just have them, whatever comes to mind, I think it's gonna be important for the people that know you best in your life to help you with this. So that could be a really good task for you to do right now or after you watch this is send it to 10 people, email, text, hey, when you think of me, so-and-so, Corey Calvin as a person, what words come to mind? Send me at least five words or three, whatever you want. You can be anything. Now remember, we just worked on nouns, but what Dustin also did is another thing you could do is talk about what adjectives you are. Now for those of you that have made an I am statement, you've done this exercise before in a different way, you've identified the nouns and then you've identified the adjectives that describe you. So Dustin said something about Inspirer, right? He's an Inspirer. Now that could be a noun or an adjective, but he inspires, right? He's inspirational, he's motivational. So all those adjectives that you can describe yourself, feel free to write those down as well. And then get that list back and see if that makes sense. Now, most likely your friends and family are gonna give you the honest answer, okay? If someone comes back to you and says, well, you're kind of sarcastic, probably are sarcastic, but I want you to begin thinking, how do I leverage sarcasm in a really cool way because that's an amazing thing for social media. In fact, that's actually, I wish I was more sarcastic because I wanna be like funny. People follow funny people. So think about if you're sarcastic, if you're funny, that's awesome. You're gonna use that to your advantage here and kind of step two, okay? So write down all those words and then take a step further, ask some people in your life what they think of you, easy. You could even take it a step further if you wanna open it up to your entire social media. Now this is, I learned this from Norma in Nashville at the Mastermind event and I've seen people do this before. It's an awesome idea. You could literally post a picture of you smiling or even just text with one of those colored backgrounds. When you think of me and list your name, what words come to mind? Leave it in the comments below. Now again, you're being very vulnerable but I think it's an amazing exercise because people are gonna say all kinds of stuff. Now it depends on if you trust this person or not, depending on if people might just be funny. So you might get all kinds of answers that may not be very specific. So that's why I think five to 10 friends, close people in your life are gonna give you the real raw answer, not just something funny because it's a comment on Facebook. So just, there are different ways to do it. Just make sure that you know if you make a post, you have someone that you kinda know make a comment. However, that kind of person that kinda knows you, think about it. Most of the people that you are attracting outside of your close network, they kind of know you and this is where branding comes into play. So think about that. Cory, I think that post is actually more about, especially if you've been doing this for a while. If you're brand new, maybe you're kinda just getting everything figured out but if you've been doing this for six months, I think that post is valuable because you might go, oh, I didn't even, I thought I was saying this and you're, they're seeing this and you're like, oh, that's not aligning what I was intending. So I think it's a really, now beware you might get some, my friends from high school are gonna tear me apart with things that I probably don't want them to say publicly but hey, listen, that's just fun. That's just, I'm gonna do it anyway. But I think that's true. I think that you are gonna get a lot of information which is good. Now, obviously you have to kind of narrow that down but I think there is a point there. There's a lesson there that someone that kinda knows you on the peripheral, that person is only knowing you through what you're sharing on social media which is really interesting because that's really what branding is all about. You branded yourself already, whether you know it or not and that's gonna be the honest feedback of what you want. Now, if that's not something you, who you are and what you wanna be, well, maybe now you begin thinking about when I post things, I need to actually stay on brand and not go way off brand. Stay in your lane before you told me, you said stay in your lane. Stay in your lane, stay in your lane. I love to say stay in your lane. And what I mean by stay in your lane is that there are so many, there are so many lanes that you could be. Now, for those of you that have just gone on Instagram and posted all kinds of stuff, you realize that you've created this vast highway. No one really knows what lane you're in because you're always in all these 10 lanes and it's like, who is this person? They're all over the place. Posting things about dogs and travel and food and everything, memes and political stuff and funny things and random thoughts. No one really knows because you're all over the place. That's okay. But now you begin thinking about like, maybe I wanna narrow that in. And I'm gonna give you an analogy, and Dustin, if I forget, the Gatorade analogy about the bullseye. I wanna do that very end because I think it's really valuable. But let's, so that's really step one. Just start writing down words, asking some friends, getting collecting data. That's really the step, okay? Now, I wanna take you into a second way that I think is really powerful because you may, and Dustin said something earlier about, you may not really hear, you may hear something from somebody and never have thought about that as my brand. And I think this next exercise is going to be very powerful for you. And I did this with Dustin in Cancun, wherever we were at Ishikare Resort last year. And this is a powerful, this really opened my eyes to a lot of things. And it was at that moment when I started, I said, Dustin, I'm gonna grow my Instagram account to 10,000 people by my birthday. Now that was May from January. I didn't do it by May, but I did it in a year. And now I'm at like 17,000 or something. So anyway, it can work and it does work. And so here's the exercise. I want you to open up your phone to the social media app that you love best, that you look at the most. Now, mine's a mix between Instagram and TikTok. And for the example here, I think if you're on Instagram, now here's the thing, I wanna clarify. It might actually be better for you to find the account that has the most followers because that's gonna give you some content. Now at TikTok, it doesn't matter because you're getting, you could click on the For You page and you can get all kinds of stuff that's catered for you. So TikTok's actually already helping you figure out what your likes are. I'm not sure if Instagram does that, but it doesn't matter because it's based off who you're following, I think, on Instagram. Maybe some hashtags that you've actually clicked on before. So I want you to find the app that either Instagram or Facebook, whatever has the most followers or TikTok, I think it's actually easier to do on Instagram personally. And you're gonna go to the search page. Actually, no, you're gonna go to your home screen. Sorry, the button at the bottom is your little home screen. I wish I could get this on here, but it's your home screen at the bottom. Click back. I did this the other day and it's not your personal page, it's not your page. It's what you see from everybody else, just everybody. Correct. So if I'm scrolling through Instagram, I'm seeing what all the people that I follow or whatever is coming to me is on my feet, okay? So what I want you to do, and this is the exercise, you know what scrolling is and think about when you are right before bed or right in the morning when you wake up or maybe you're on the toilet, wherever you just sit in there and like wanting to see what's happening because you have a couple of minutes to rest your mind I call it like aimlessly scrolling, you're just scrolling. You're not, there's no intention, there's no goal, you're just kind of going through, okay? That's the mindset I want you to get it. Here's the task. What happens when you're scrolling and all of a sudden you see something that just catches your eye that makes you stop? You know what I'm talking about, Dustin? Oh, very much. So you're scrolling and scrolling, because think about it, you're not stopping at every single post you see, that's just not what we do. I mean, if you do, like, wow, you're really into it, awesome. But I don't do that. I just scroll and then when something catches my eye, I stop. What I want you to do is the first, and you could do this for 10, but I would say at least five things that make you stop, it doesn't matter what it is. The first five things that make you stop, I want you to stop and screenshot it. If you don't know how to screenshot on the iPhone, if you click the two buttons on the side, it takes a picture of your phone. If you don't know how to screenshot, just write down what it was and what the message was. And if you don't have an iPhone, get an iPhone. Exactly, because group texts are messed up when we add you to a group text and it's weird. Anyway, so I want you to write down what the image was or better yet, why did you stop? Was it a color? Was it an image? Was it video? Was it a meme? Because it was funny. Was it a saying or a quote? Was it a picture of a dog or a picture of a baby or a picture of food or a picture of travel? I want you to do, look at that, dude. So I want you to stop and if it's a video, that's okay, just screenshot it and you have five images. If you wanna go to 10, that's fine. But here's another tip. If you're stopping at the same type of thing, don't screenshot it twice. So like if you stop at food and then you go to food and then you go to food, I want you to find five different topics that make you stop or five things. Maybe it's the color purple. Maybe it's a picture of a landscape. Maybe it's downhill skiing. Maybe it's a cute little cat. I don't know, maybe it's a picture of your granddaughter or your child or something, right? So that's really the exercise. Now, you have five different things, five to 10 different images that you stopped at. Now, if you probably understand what I'm gonna tell you about now is there's a reason that you stopped. It's because you liked it. You thought something was cool about that that I wanna learn more. Now, I want you to pause with that thought and if you can, think about on social media when you're posting something, think about the person that doesn't know you and is scrolling just like this on the toilet and they see something that you did. Who is that person and why did they stop at you? It's because they saw something that they liked. Think about that. Now, I want you to really put the two pieces together and I'm not gonna say like something like the Me Too movement but it's the same concept that you have some amazing characteristics and traits and likes and things in your life that make up who you are, who your brand is. You have fun sharing those things with other people, most likely because you liked it, you liked those things. When you're attracting other people, you want to attract other people that stop and think, oh, that person likes snow skiing too. Oh my gosh, this person's dogs are adorable. I love dogs. Oh my gosh, their grandchild is so gorgeous. Oh my gosh, what's her name? You know, people stop on my videos because they're funny. I smile, that dude has a nice smile. I wanna know who that is. Okay, who is this guy? Guess what they're gonna do when they see something they like? Dustin, any idea? Heart. Hearts or? Like or comment. Or like or comment or even better? Save, share. Or even better? Reach out. They're gonna follow you. I'll follow, I forgot about that one. Yes, follow. What do we all want to grow our social media account, y'all? We want followers. They stopped at what you had to offer because they were like you and you were like them and you had something that attracted them to you. Now I think in the ketones world, the proven world, we get all like, oh my gosh, I have to post the flyer because it has the discount in the product. Think about this. If you're scrolling through Instagram, aimlessly scrolling on the toilet again, put yourself in the mind of somebody else and you come across one of the flyers that you posted which I'd recommend not doing if I were you. Maybe in a story but that's more advanced and we can talk about that. You're scrolling through and you see a flyer but they don't know who you are. They see a flyer. What is going to happen? Dustin, just most likely what is going to happen with that person as they're scrolling? Two things, they're gonna either skip it or if it's on their feet a lot, they're gonna unfollow that person. Ah. Because they don't like, they don't want, maybe they're uncomfortable with it. They want ketones but they just feel uncomfortable because they don't want to, they want to just see your face, they want to see your smile. So they're either gonna skip it or they're gonna unlike you. Dustin, how many times have you spoken with people? That's good, that's ask enough. That's ask, if you ask 10 people, actually I'm gonna ask you this. When you get on Instagram, I like the toilet because it's kind of fun. You're on the toilet because you're just wanna relax a little bit and you're scrolling. When did you ever get on Instagram to think this? Oh my gosh, I can't wait to get on Instagram because I wanna buy something right now. Never, ever. When have you gotten on Facebook and like gosh, I can't wait to go buy something on my phone? Never. Doesn't work. So remember that. I know it's exciting when you're like, oh my gosh, I gotta share like everything but think about it. People wanna per, go back to the very beginning of the conversation, Dustin. Why do people wanna buy from you? Because they like me, it's about, they like me. They like what I believe in, they like who I am. That's why they like you. It's not because I'm- The reason that you've attracted them is because why did you attract them in the first place? Because I've consistently shown them who I am every single day, day in, day out. 100%. If they see my page, they know me. Can I just jump in for one second? I did a little experiment with a small group of people and I went to their face, I went to their Instagram and I go, go to your personal grid. And Instagram was easy because of the way it's set up. I go, go to your personal grid and I go screenshot just the wall, like screenshot your wall. And now look at that and tell me who you are. And if you can't list some of those things on those nouns that you talked about, then you're probably missing the boat here a little bit because it was like, oh my goodness, like it's 20 different things on that one wall and it was really confusing. So that the person's confused. They don't know you yet. I love that clarification. Mandy Mitchell has done trainings like this before where I think if you've done this and if you go to challenge.com, force.go, you've done the attraction marketing. She's gonna talk about how you don't wanna, you don't want your page to be a billboard of ketones, right? Just like Dustin said, if you snap your picture of your grid, if it's all one thing and someone sees that, they're gonna immediately think you're trying to sell them something. Just like no one ever got on Instagram or Facebook to say, I'm gonna buy something today, right? Do you see the mismatch? Do you see how you're not gonna attract anybody by doing that? I mean, you might attract a couple of people like your grandma or your niece, but you're not gonna attract someone that really is interested in buying. They already know about ketones. They don't need to know. They don't need to know from your Instagram. Right. So that's, I think, an important concept. Now, people might be asking, okay, Corey, are you saying I should never post about ketones? And the answer is that's not what I'm saying. This is a branding conversation. So step one, what is your brand? A lot of people listening to this, part of their brand is weight loss or transformation. That is cool. Guess what? You're gonna be posting something about your weight loss journey or your transformation journey. So you are gonna be posting things about that. I'm an author. I'm a best-selling author. Guess why I started using ketones? Not for fat loss, for my mental clarity. Guess what I do every time I make a post about my book? Thank goodness for my magical fuel. Like this stuff has allowed me to write in the afternoon and I've never done that in a long time. That's a ketones post, y'all, but I'm writing about my book. I'm writing about me being an author. So I want you to remember that this isn't in your face marketing, like you gotta buy my product. I want you to remember who am I as a brand and stay in your lane. So let's go back, you're probably thinking like, okay, Corey, maybe screenshot five images. What do I do with them? Well, it's pretty simple. Think about what that means for you. And I want you to start writing what those are, add those to your list of the 10 nouns or whatever you wrote down, add that to your list of what people said. Now you're beginning to funnel down through what your brand is. Those five images that you stopped at are things that you like, things that probably represent what you are as a person. Those are the things that you should post about. This isn't rocket science, y'all. Just like I said at the beginning, my brand is way different than, I'm trying to do this, I can't even, it's like the opposite. I don't know. This guy's brand, like, I don't know. It's like the scarecrow of the Wizard of Oz. I'm like, I don't know which one I'm going to. So Dustin's brand is way different. He's going to stay in Dustin's lane. He's not on the highway of whatever. He's in his lane. And guess what? I'm next to Dustin in my lane. Our lanes are different. Cause Dustin is posting about what is his brand. And what I'd recommend is I try to get down to four or five things. I was just going to ask you that. So Dustin, like, you know, when we went through this exercise, if you could, cause you read a long list of things. Now here's the thing. I don't want you to post. I think that's too many. I think posting about 10 different things all the time. Number one, it's confusing. Number three, it's a, two, it's a lot. And then you're like, okay, what do I post about now? What you're beginning to do is make almost like a schedule about what you're going to be posting. This is going to help you. So some, a lot of times people get to Instagram, like, okay, I know I need to attract people today. I know I need to post, but what do I post? Right. We're giving you the answer right now. So Dustin, when you went through this example in Nashville, and I don't, I'm putting a spot here a little bit. When you do this exercise and you have all these things, did you write down like four or five things that really are what you love and who represents you? Right. I did. So I was telling Corey in Nashville, I was the shotgun guy. Like, I, you know, I've been through this stuff. I'm just telling you. I, and, and I don't want to say that as a, yeah, I want to say this as like full transparency. I'm learning and figuring it out. So if you're brand new, it takes time and be patient on this journey. And I think the more that you can hone it down meaning that I was shooting out like my kids. Ironically, when I post about my kids, I get way less engagement. My kids are not a good attraction piece for me. And I'm, I'm, hey, listen, my audience is telling me that that's not where they want to do it. I do a lot of stories with my kids now. I don't post them on the grid because it just, it slows down my, my, and I know that sounds weird, but I haven't also fully committed into the kids side of it. I haven't, that's not my main focus. My focus is to build a big brand in business. So when I wrote down my whole list, I had like 12 things. And then I broke that down. And so when I look at my keto pro page, I'm the keto diet, keto drinks, education and transformations. It's four things. So when, Corey, I'm going to tell you a secret. The greatest thing about the simplicity of, I have four things. I'm going to do this look. That looks kind of funny. I'm going to do four things. Is it's easier for me to post now because it's, I know, I know, like, it's so easy. I'm not, when I was everywhere, I didn't know what to post. When I had more things to post about, I didn't know what to post. Now I have less things to post about, less like topics I'm focused on, my lanes. It's easy. Like it's super, super, super simple to me. So I think the more that you hone it down, I would even say three to four. The more it's like, I got a post on this. And I'm going to, I'm going to ask you a question before I say anything else. I get this a lot. I feel like I'm posting about the same thing all the time. Is that, is that a problem? Does Gatorade change their commercials every week or do they post the same commercials over and over and over again? I like this leading question, Dustin, this is good. So I think it's completely fine. And here's why. I mean, you might have a, when you were saying what you were saying earlier about your kids, there was probably a lot of moms out there like, oh my gosh, if I don't post about my kids, I'm a terrible mom. Right? You're probably thinking that. Like, oh my gosh, I have to post about my kids because, because some of you look, it's not that you don't love your kids. I want you to put yourself in an entrepreneur mindset. You are an entrepreneur. Right. Your social media, when you became an entrepreneur, became a business account. You use social media. This is a tool for you to grow your business. Now, look, I totally get it. You can post about stuff in your life and your family. If that's in your lane. Right. But stay on, stay in your lane. If family is in your lane, then cool. Because Dustin's narrowed down the five, four or five things that he likes to talk about the most. Now that doesn't mean he doesn't love his kids. That's not the point. That's not what we're saying here. But I think the answer to your question is, yes, stay in your lane. Because what's gonna happen is Instagram, TikTok, I don't know about Facebook, but Instagram and TikTok are going to reward you for staying in your lane. That's what happened to me over the past month. I stayed in my lane and Instagram was like, okay, cool. This guy's posting about all the stuff in his lane and I'm gonna start pushing out to more people. Bloop, 10,000 followers. Because it was pushed out, because I was consistent. I didn't go off and like, I really wanna post about this. What happened when you did do that once? What happened? I won't tell you what the post was, but tell them what happened when you got out of your lane. So I made a, I was grown about 450 to 500 followers a day in January, and I made a post outside of my lane. Let me just pull up the graph in Instagram. It's actually, you can, it's very obvious. And I'm trying to build it back, but I went, I basically went against my own strategy. So don't do what I did. Let me just change this. Let me do 30 days update. This is, this is, this is absolute gold y'all. And I have a, and I have a big, I have a business account for all these on TikTok or on Instagram. So this is why I can see, I don't know on a personal account you can't, but I don't know if you can see. Yep, I got you there. Look at that. So I was getting about 400, actually it's over 500 followers a day. I made one post outside of my lane. Look what happened. Wow. Instagram's like, bloop. You deviated from your lane. We're going to penalize you. We're not going to show you, show your account to more people. Now what's happening is so I got down that little graph and just so you know, let me go down to like, if I can do 14 days, because I think this is really interesting because it's starting to work again. I said, okay, Corey, get back to your lane. And now I have to work at it. So every day I'm like, let me get back in my lane. So this is what happened since you can see the low number and it's starting to go up. In fact, yesterday I just got over 150. It's starting to go back up because I'm going back to what I'm telling you on this call that you should do. So Instagram's now saying, okay, we put you in a little jail for a bit because you went out of your lane. And now because you're staying consistent within your lane, we're going to start rewarding you and giving you more followers. Because it's the reason I'm getting more followers is my content's being pushed out to people that like those same hashtags, which I think is an advanced part of the training we'll get to. And let me say this, this is what I was talking about the bullseye. So I worked for Gatorade for a number of years. Yes, Gatorade is owned by Pepsi, really cool brand, loved it. But think about as an adult, when you pick up, I mean, some of you probably still do this and that's okay, I'm not going to judge you, but if you pick up a Gatorade and you drink it, well, there's probably a reason why you're not, Dustin, tell me this, as someone that's close to our age, I'm not going to give away our age. If you picked up a Gatorade, why are you picking up a Gatorade right now at your age? At my age, I'm thirsty. Yeah, okay, yeah. I like the flavor. Are you doing it to improve performance? Not even a little bit. So when you think of Gatorade, Dustin, when you think of the advertisements you see at the Super Bowl, if you're going to see this, when you see advertisements on TV, what? Again, this is brand, Gatorade has a brand. We talked about this earlier. What do you actually see when you see Gatorade's advertisements? It's all sports focused. It's on the sidelines. It's somebody drinking. It's an athlete drinking and sweating. It's all, you know, somebody looking. Athletes drinking and sweating. Is it hard hitting? Is it like hard hitting? Yeah, oh, it's in your face. I get excited. Let me ask you this. Yeah, do they show a dude, a guy that's around 40, sitting on his couch with a Gatorade, like, oh, I just need a relax, I need a drink? Never. Have you ever seen an advertisement for Gatorade that's remotely close to that? Nope. But guess what? You're drinking it, right? Right. So I'm not. Yes, in general, the 40-year-old couch sitting. Not you, but let's say, you know, think about when you've gone out for a night of drinking for those of you that drink alcohol and you're like, oh, my gosh, guess what you do the next day besides drinking mydoplex. Now we drink mydoplex, we're like, we don't need Gatorade. Right. But most people will pick up a Gatorade like, I need to have a Gatorade to get my electrolytes in, right? Yep. They're not 19-years-old, a hard-hitting professional elite athlete, which is what all the advertisements are for Gatorade. We, and I'm giving you a big top secret, what I learned in the meetings with Gatorade is we pull up a bull's eye. Imagine a bull's eye. Circle, concentric circles with circles is concentric. They're not overlapping, right? Anyway, I'm not a GM, I don't know a lot about GM treatment. Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. In the center is a red dot and then outside of that red dot is a ring and outside of that red dot, that ring is another ring and outside of that ring. So you're doing these rings, right? If everybody's doing bone arrow or axe throwing or whatever you do now, you know what I'm talking about. It's a bull's eye. Gatorade's plan, this is all the time, not just some of the time, they wanna hit the bull's eye with their advertising every single time. Every advertiser that you see is hard hitting, athletes sweating. I gotta tell you, over 60% of Gatorade sales don't come in the bull's eye. The people in the outer rings who were adults that used to drink it buy Gatorade. That's 60% of Gatorade's purchases. My point with all of this is that you're at, they stay in their lane 100% of the time and their sales go up. Just like when you stay in your lane, your brand, people are gonna now at the end with, in a year from now, if you do this or even six months from now, when someone asks you who you are, they're gonna know right away because they see you every day. They're gonna know who you are. People now know me, who Corey Calvin is. I should get this as weird. I've actually met people that have never met before. They come up to me randomly. Oh my God, you're that dude from Instagram. I know exactly, like I love your smiles. I love your books. I don't even need to tell them who I am because it's all my brand, my five things. I hit it hard every day and I'm being rewarded for that. So that I want you to think about you as a brand, you as a bull's eye. Those five things I want you to hit at in the center. I'm going down because they have cameras up like in the center. And then guess what happens? You're gonna have other people. This is the point. I'm gonna use Dustin's example. Dustin's outer ring as kids. Right. Doesn't mean Dustin doesn't love his kids. But he's not hitting the bull's eye. Are people gonna see in Dustin's stories maybe with his kids in there? Yeah. That doesn't mean his posts should all be about his kids unless one of his five things is his kids. And then a mom or a dad follows him like, oh my gosh, I love how you take care of your kids. I'm the same way. I want to follow you, blah, blah, blah. And we can talk about, I think part of the strategy and this kind of wraps up at least the two ways is, you know, first, you know, I want you to think about the top 10 things of nouns and adjectives that represent who you are. I want you to reach out to people if you need that training. And then the second thing is, or third thing really, is the screenshots that you made, write what those topics are down. You know, like I said, that it could be the color blue. If you like all blue things, guess what? You could create a brand where all your posts are kind of a blue tint. And when someone looks at your grid, like, oh, I love this girl. All of her things are kind of tinted blue. That's really cool. I'm gonna follow her because follow these steps first. Again, we talked about identify your brand. So that's really all we've talked about. I think the advanced part of the training is, okay, now how do we leverage that brand that you have to really begin to grow your social media and then what leads to is growing your business through sticking on brand in your posts. And then we can talk about how to leverage stories. And that could be another training that we do. How to leverage stories to really grow your business, which is what I do every day. Awesome. So, hey, let's do this. I think that that'll be, we could literally go for another hour around the other stuff. This is what I'd love to do is I think, because just so you're full transparency, we're in Nashville and we're in the room and we had a mixed people. We had people that have been doing social media building their brand. And then we had another group of people that were just trying to figure it all out. Like where I would say majority of people are out are just trying to figure it out. What was interesting is that the individuals that have had success in growing a brand, they were starting to think advanced really fast and they're asking all these advanced questions. And my realization was, I have one gift and one gift is to sit back and listen and watch what people do because people will tell you everything that you need to know if you can listen to what they do. And the reality is all the people that were more advanced needed to go back to the basic and hone in on their target. They would have more success focusing on getting back into their target being the Gatorade, right? Then trying to razzle and dazzle all the other things. Now we know that hashtags are important. We know that timing of when you post, if you guys wanna know more about hashtags, what time should you post? Cause those are some strategies, how to leverage stories. We'll do another training on that and give some of the advance. We talked about shooting a video on TikTok, swiping it down and putting it on a different platform. Those are all great, but if you don't actually hone in on your brand, those things won't even matter because you're just working in a lot of time, posting and not getting any results. And so I think figuring out and honing that in. So if you're advanced, I want you to really be more, like I had to do, go back and reassess your social, say, listen, who am I? Am I really hitting my target or am I kind of trying to play multiple hats and challenge yourself on that? If you're more advanced, if you're beginning to do exactly what Corey said, go back through the steps. Corey, I do wanna ask you a couple of questions before we come to that. And I'm gonna have you give a couple of advanced tips because I think that some people are gonna kill me if we don't. But I wanna ask you a couple of questions. How important, I noticed on your page, I'm using yours as an example, is that your grid, your pictures are very similar, right? Your pictures, how important that are the pictures and then how important are the words you write if that makes any sense? Like how important is that to growing that, for the new person? Sure. I think for the new person, my advice is get used to posting basic. Just post a picture and don't worry about the caption. I mean, you should probably have a caption. But again, I think you gotta take the first steps, take the second step, right? You know, Martin Luther King's great quote that I love is you gotta take the first step to climb, just get the very top of the staircase. So look, if you're basic and you're beginning, just get focused on posting in your four to five, stay in your lane. Now the question is, as you get a little more advanced, I do think the words mean something because one of the things in my brand is motivational, inspirational, okay? Number one, back to your very first question, my grid, I put a picture of my face every time of me smile. That's part of my brand. People, I mean, I get this in all kinds of private comments, y'all. Like it is all about this. It's about that. And that's number one, why they like to follow me. So they love my smile. I wanna make sure I give them that all the time. Now, here's the thing you may be saying, well, Kora, I can't post the picture of my smile. Well, maybe that's not your brand. So don't think just because that's me, that's not you. So just because I have a picture of my face in every picture and on the grid does not mean that you have to do that. So I want you to, again, post what's in your brand. If you love snow skiing, I have a girl on my team that loves to downhill snow ski, post pictures of you downhill snow skiing because if you're attracting someone else that loves to downhill snow ski, guess what? They're gonna be like, oh my God, this is awesome. She has all these downhill snow skiing pictures. I'm gonna see what they are. So again, I'm not saying post all of them, but within your brand. Maybe you narrow it down to two or three things and stick with it. Like, I think about Kate Higdon, Kate Higdon on our team. She has pictures of food and she has pictures of her face and she's mixing all that up, but it kinda looks cool because it's all brighter colors. She has a brighter theme. Again, I'm not trying to say you have to do any of these things. I want you to begin thinking about your brand. And like I said, number one, just start doing it. If you don't do it, you will never learn and you will never understand how you begin a change in it up. Your audience will start telling you that. If you start doing something that works, keep doing it. Exactly. If you're doing something that's not working, don't do that. So that's the first question about the grid. The second about the words, I have realized that my brand, my audience wants inspirational things. And I realized on Instagram sharing and saving posts actually get me more followers. So I have now begun writing down inspirational things in my caption and on my reels, which are visual and people begin sharing that and posting that and saving those. That's actually helping me with that. I think that's a little bit more advanced. But again, if you don't begin to hone in on your brand and do something, you're never gonna get to that advanced level. You will learn that as you go. Don't go to what I just said until you get good at posting. And that might take you a good three to six months. I didn't start posting inspirational things in the captions and texts until like three months ago. I've been just staying in my lane for nine months. And it took me a while to figure that out. And now I know what it is. There's no confusion. I'm gonna go on and start posting inspirational things. But I had to learn that. I had to do the first things, first five things every day or not five things, five branding things in my lane every day and stay consistent. Awesome. And then I got better and better and better. And I wanna recap on that. Cause people are going like, well, how many reels? Cause what happens when we get into these trainings and like you got a reel every day and you got to do 10 stories a day and all of these things. But I realized that people aren't even focused on what they want to, who they are. And it's hard to, yes, you can throw because people are working so much but not getting a return. And so one of the things I want you all to do is when you're creating this, is start to assess. We're gonna have Corey give you one hashtag tip and that's it. And then we're gonna come back and talk about and one more on stories. But I want you to assess, look at your likes, be patient. Corey talked about it like a year, right? For me, I had to be patient. I want things now. I wanna be fast now. But the reality is, I'm in the long game here. We have a future and you can overestimate what you can do in six months and underestimate what you can do in five years. And so think about this is that social media isn't going away. We have a lot of time to grow and learn and be patient in that journey and success will come your way. But the one tip I wanted you to give is if we're gonna promote ketones or sell something or get people that where should we do that at for the new person? What I heard earlier is maybe you might write something in the caption. Like you might write something in the caption like, hey, thank goodness the ketones I can play with my kids again. It's not you holding up a shaker bottle necessarily, it's you with your kid. And then you wrote it in the caption. But where should somebody promote the sale and how often should they do that? I love that question because look, you're probably like, well, all I heard I need to like, how am I gonna get people to know that I'm using ketones and I'm gonna need to hit multiplier this month or MVP, like how do I do that if I'm brand new? Well, look, if you're brand new, I think it's okay to post a photo of your shaker bottle and doing this because if your brand is your if you just adopted again, I don't think your brand can change because if you're on this new wellness journey, guess what? You just added wellness journey into your brand. Now you're on this amazing path. So posting about that is awesome. I'm not saying don't again. I don't, the advice I'm giving you is because my wellness journey is not about fat loss. I don't post anything about fat loss in my stores ever or my anything, but I do post about my energy. And occasionally I'll filter in my comments and because I'm doing that energy people again people want my smile, they want my inspiration. Then what I'm doing in the caption is saying like I said earlier, I'll filter in I'm using this magical fuel that honestly gives me so much energy and this is something I use every day. At the very beginning, a tip that I have is a call to action. And so if an idea that you could implement is say something like this, if you wanna learn about what I'm doing, I'm happy to help you raise your hand, put a little hand emoji in the comments below and I'll reach out to you. That's an idea at the beginning. But remember, as you continue to build your audience and share and share and share, you're gonna start growing people that are like you and what I would say is as you become more advanced, what I do now is most of the things when I share ketones are all in my stories. If you go to my posts, my page, you're not gonna see a ketones post in there. Again, this is more advanced, so I'm just clarifying. So you're probably sitting there thinking, okay, Cor, I'm a little bit confused. All I'm saying is if it's the first 30, 60, 90 days of your ketones journey, use your weight loss or fat loss or whatever journey in ketones as part of your brand. So again, going back to your brand, you should be posting about your brand. It's okay, side by sides, drinking, exercising. All those are on brand. And you can talk about in the description. If you're more advanced, I mean, maybe that is still as part of your brand. But for me, I've moved on to only using my stories. And if you're brand new, using your stories is another strategy that you could also use. This is an addition to your posts to share your ketones journey. I think using polls in your stories is one of the best ways to start a conversation, especially if you're talking about something that you're doing that other people might wanna do as well. Right, awesome. Does that answer your question, Dustin? I know. Perfect, that's perfect. I think that gives people that have different levels. And I loved how you articulated, if you're brand new, this is part of your journey. It's not, your whole brand is just part of your brand. And put that out there. And I think that's great. I mean, the good thing about fat losses is very visual. It's very trans, you can see it happen. And you think about somebody on their grid, you can see them, and you're like, wow, they are changing. We actually have a guy, I know a guy that lost 100 pounds like 30 years ago, and he still sells the 100 pounds that he already gained back. Cause he locked his brand and he still sells the 100 pounds he lost 30 years ago that he gained back. But he just stayed in his lane and he's extremely successful at promoting that 100 pound loss. And I was like, man, there's a wisdom in there. I got mad at him because I'm like, you gave it all back. But the reality is he's a brilliant marketer because he stayed right in his lane and he's attracting people that want to lose 100 pounds. And he just stayed there and he still stays. He still shows the same picture that he showed from 30 years ago and he still stayed in his lane. So I think that's really, really cool. Last one, just for people that are maybe a little bit more advanced hashtags, what's maybe a simple tip that you can give on hashtags? If you're brand new and you're like, I don't even know what a hashtag is, do not worry about it, focus on your brand. Because if you can't do that, nothing else is gonna matter, but give some tips on hashtags if you don't mind, just for that purpose and doing a little bit more. Yeah, just high level, absolutely. So hashtags are in Instagram and TikTok, not Facebook. In Instagram and TikTok are the way that people find you because they have liked to post or followed a hashtag that's the hashtag that you might want to use. So what I do, and I'll just use Instagram again, is I actually have a hashtag strategy. So this is advanced, what Dustin said. Again, if you haven't gotten your brand down, do that first. Then what I want you to do is based off your brand, I want you to identify and research hashtags that are in your lanes or your lane, right? The way I do that, many of you may or may not know that is, if I go to this, so here's my page and down below is the search. Yup, little hourglass. So when I click on that, at the very top, Magnifying glass, sorry. Yeah, the magnifying glass, the very top are as a search button. So I went like, for instance, my brand is an author, right? So I'm gonna type in the word author. Now I'm gonna hit search because it's gonna come up. Now at the very top, you're gonna see words, top, accounts, audio, tags, places. I want you to click on tags. Now every post with the word, every hashtag with the word author in it has popped up. You see that? These are areas of tagging. This is where I would start writing down in each of the four or five branding areas that you have. Now, I want you to, so that's tip number one of how to find hashtags and where you use hashtags. Now, I'm gonna give you, this is definitely an advanced tip because some people, and again, you're gonna get all kinds of opinions about this. This is just my personal opinion. I'm sure there are bloggers out there or Instagrammers out there that probably like sell you something to do this or tell you what you should or shouldn't use. So underneath each hashtag is a number. Author is 12.1, authors of Instagram is 6.1, author life 1.8, author is 2 million. Here's the tip. Remember how hashtags work. Think of an ocean, think of a pond. Okay, just imagine a pond right now. You're going fishing in a pond. Yeah, it has water, there's fish in it. If I use this author's 12.1 million posts with author, okay, I am a little tiny fish in a humongous pond. Make sense? Because over 12 million people are using that hashtag. Here I've used it. So that's a lot of people. You have one screen that's this big and you only can scroll through so much in the course of you sitting on the toilet, right? So the odds are that someone finding your post if you just use hashtag author are smaller than they would be if you use a hashtag that has less uses. Now, someone's going to get on here and say, well, okay, Corey, like you want to cast your net wide and I get it, but I truly believe in the bullseye mentality that if you can find a niche of people, again, this isn't about number. If you can find a group of people that use that hashtag that's not in the millions, that's maybe under a million. Now, that doesn't mean you can't use something to million, but my point is, if you or this, imagine the pond again and you use the hashtag, oh, let's just look. Author community is one. I just saw it down here. That's 170,000 people or posts. If I use the hashtag author community, I'm now a bigger fish in that pond. More likely people are going to find me that are within that niche. Remember, this is very niche, author community. Most of you are probably not ever searching for anything on your Instagram about author community. Guess what? I am. So if I can find people within those 170,000 that may like something that I'm doing because they liked author community at one point or used it, they're more likely going to follow me than the 12 million. Again, I'm not saying you should never use something that's 12 million. All I'm saying is be strategic. Maybe use one that's big and maybe use five that are kind of under a million. I'm not giving you specific numbers here because that's all I think about, but I want you to just understand that mentality of the bigger the number, the less likely you're going to find somebody. Now, here's the thing on the bottom. If you see a hashtag that's under 1,000, it's probably one person or somebody that you have three people that are posting. So just be careful. There's a limit. And again, I don't have the exact math. Someone might come on here and be like, okay, Corey, the numbers are this and this, like whatever, that's not my point. My point is that you want to find a balance of using hashtags of attracting people within your niche that somehow will look at your posts and be like, oh, I've used that hashtag before. And here's Dustin that's now using that hashtag. And that's a pretty cool post. Let me look at his page, like, comment, follow, save, whatever. So that's how you use a hashtag strategy to not only find what hashtags are in your brand, find a number of them, don't use the same one over and over and over. And I would say use five to 10 if I were you. Again, don't lock on to the number Corey said use five, like make sure it's relevant to your post and play around with it. Get better and better and better. I actually did an analysis of my hashtags, which is way, way advanced, I don't think it's that. But I found that certain hashtags work better than others for me, not what the numbers say on Instagram. That's way advanced. So anyway, that's the hashtag strategy. Number one, research them and then start playing around with it. Don't use the same ones over and over and over and over. Try to find authors of Instagram, author community, author life. There's so many that you can use, you can mix them up. That's all I'll say about that. Awesome, I appreciate that. I think for some of the people, what's funny is if you look at the chat and the people that are engaging when we were talking about just focusing on a brand, all this conversation was happening. As soon as we got to the hashtags and to the deeper stuff, everything kind of slowed down. What that tells me is that people are now up here trying to, like they're lost, they're kind of like trying to digest it all. Where the other things made sense and you can't make sense of the complicated unless you get to the simplicity of what you need to do, which is start identifying your brand, do the exercises, ask five people. I'm gonna do the social media posts. I gotta figure out how I'm gonna do that and asking people to kind of give me their feedback of who I am, write down your list and hone it in to three to five, of who am I? Three to five and that's gonna be your brand. You can pivot your brand later, but start, I would say start here, commit to it and be aware, like I had a lady she did Disney and she went so far, like she went so far, she's like, nobody's responding. I go, because you just turned full left. I go, if you're gonna go that way, you have to commit to it and let it unfold. Because as when I changed mine or identified mine, my followers started going down, but now new followers are coming up. So everything stayed the same because I'm actually changing out my old followers that are not my brand or my niche to the people that I actually wanna be talking to. And I was like, oh, this is so cool, because now I'm actually getting the right people in front of me versus just whoever follows my randomness that I had going on. So stay focused on your brand. Corey, you are an absolute stud. He has something else to add, so we're gonna love it. You made a great point that I think a lot of people are like, oh my God, you have so many followers. But what people don't realize is that are those followers like people that are within your brand or they just random people that you have no idea who they are that are never gonna purchase from you. So is that about the number? That happened on TikTok to me? It's not about the number. It's about people that are like you in your lane or lane, right, or whatever lane you just, you are. And people wanna follow you because of you. And guess what? Because they like you, they're more likely going to interact with you. And guess what? Probably ask you what you're using because most likely think about the world right now. Most people wanna want energy, focus, fat loss, better sleep, muscle preservation, all those things that we share. We're human beings. Most people want that. But you're talking about who you are and guess what you're gonna attract people like you. And then they're gonna start asking you. That's ultimately what you want versus I have 100,000 followers and none of them ever reach out because they don't care what I do. There's a humongous difference. It happened on TikTok to me. My followers came off as something that wasn't my brand. And I'm like, anytime I posted anything off of that, no, I'm like, okay. So I, and I'm okay with that. It's like, I'm okay with those numbers coming down to find the right people because I know the long game is that if I meet this person out in the street, I know that I can actually just talk to him as a person. We don't have to talk about ketones or anything. We can have a real life comfort. If you're into crocheting, if you're into making monkey foot fist with a not, not tying kit. Yeah, I know what that is. A monkey fist. I know what that is. But if you're into that, like you wanna, like if you go meet that person, you just talk about those things and everything else will take care of itself. It's not about sales. It's about marketing. It's about branding. And remember, we are marketers. If you're in Prove It or you're, you're marketing no matter what, just so you know, you are marketing. And some of you all are marketing some really dark, crazy things that you probably shouldn't be marketing. That's okay. Recognize it and start to put out the message of who you, either who you are and who you wanna become at the same time. Awesome. Well, thanks Corey. I appreciate it. Everybody give Corey some love, give them some shout out. This has been an amazing eye opening. And I realize that this is more than, this is way more than just a 20 minute discussion. This is something that people really need to hear multiple times. Go through this over and over and over again and hone in because I know if that's what I've had to do. And hopefully we get Corey to come up to Kentucky with us and we get to see him in person again. And we can do this live and we're gonna do it separate. We're gonna do a beginner and advanced if he comes. I don't know if he's coming for sure. So if he comes. You don't see, I have my airline website open and I have the hotel open on my screen right now. I was thinking we could do next virtual live event we do. We do a basic one. I may even have maybe Norma do a piggyback with you guys on that. Cause I think she's, and I'm gonna have Norma next week. So I'm excited about that. Cause I want to really keep this going. And then we separate and we have another event room where it's advanced so that people can get the hard questions in so that we can be raw with them. Like I want to get on people's pages and I want to actually hit them straight. I want people to do that to me but my new person getting started. I don't want them, I want them just to encourage them to start going and not really have to, and that's what we're gonna do in a live event. So be kind of fun. Awesome. I can't wait. Appreciate it brother. Thanks everybody for listening in. Shout out a big shout out again to Corey. I just, it's just great stuff. It's really amazing and I appreciate you so much. And if you guys really honestly want to see what I do again, my brand is not your brand. Follow me on Instagram at Corey.Calvin. Happy to, you can steal my stuff and we'll talk about that more in the advanced training. But yeah. Until next time, y'all. I appreciate Dustin. Really appreciate this.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ9UYHt-Qig", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Maybe like the scene from Ghost now. Yeah, there's a special pair of gloves that has two, you put the gloves on, they put their hands on the top and they're tied for like, Rob, this counts as you doing it, this is, look, you're writing C++, look at you go, look at you go. I don't know how you feel about existential crises, but who are you and why? Hi, I'm Rob Dodson. I'm a developer advocate on the Chrome team and why I mainly work on accessibility and trying to sort of teach developers how to build accessible applications, make sure it's part of their daily habit when they're doing their work. I think the first one who just glosses over the why and just turns into a job description, we've gotten very weird. It's DevRel training, right? Yeah, I just reverted back to my training and it just sort of kicked in. I imagined I was on a stage and it was going badly and I just started saying my job title. We just sort of activated you there. Or bring them back to humanity. So you've been doing an edge rotation recently. I have, yeah. So what's that, like you stand in the spot and spin around with a computer? Yeah, with the other edge. It's like a spinning class. Yeah. So what I've been doing the previous quarter was actually working on Chromium, so working in C++. It's dreadful. It was, because I didn't know C++ when I started. So I learned enough C++ to be bad at it and then I started shipping code in the browser. And having other people review your code until you were... Yeah, so basically the way that works is like I put up a patch and someone goes, it's horrible. They're like down there, move it over there and I'm like here and they're like there and I'm like here and they're like yes. The funny thing was it wasn't even an engineer I knew, it was an engineer from a different browser who was just so annoyed by my bad code that they just showed up from like another continent and were like stop, do it this way. That's a long way to run. Yes. So another continent, they're at their desk, they see your code and they stand up and go no. From where? From Oslo. From Oslo. That's a long run. Yeah. That's impressive. Yeah, but it was really cool. I got to learn a lot about how Chrome actually works under the hood. So that was really interesting. I'd actually encourage like anyone who is really interested in the browser, like you can learn enough C++ to kind of get in there. And the nice thing is, this is a tip I got from another person on the team. If the code around you is written well, you can kind of like figure it out. You can kind of like muddle along and so that's the case, right? I found something that was similar to what I wanted to do and kind of just like... Copy paste. Yeah. Yeah. Let's say it's copy paste. But I find the same with web standards actually. I kind of sometimes like I'll submit a patch and the feedback would be like, why on earth have you written like this? And I was like, well, I copied and pasted it from two lines that way. So well, it's wrong. Well, I mean, how can I help being wrong in this situation? You're like, I'm new. And so like, so yeah, I was very wrong pretty much all the time. But it was pretty gratifying, like getting something behind a flag in Chrome. I mean, you're not the owner of a flag in Chrome, right? That's the thing you wrote. Yeah. The experimental web platform features flags, which is kind of like a bucket, like everything goes in there. But yeah, I'm like the owner of like a pseudo class in CSS now. That's cool. So what have you actually been implementing? So it's a CSS pseudo class called focus visible. And the way it works is it matches when focus matches and then using kind of like an internal heuristic in the browser, we determine that it would be useful for the user to see some sort of focus indicator. So typically that means like, depending on if they're using a mouse versus a keyboard to navigate the page, if you're using a mouse depending on the control, maybe you don't need to see one of like if you're clicking on a button or something like that. Right. I've had that problem before. And I feel like I've been like making things not accessible because I don't want when the user clicks with a mouse it to have that same focus style. Right. You end up like doing weird hacks like, oh, if it was if there's a mouse down at a class somewhere or something that will hide the focus styles or something. So it's now I think I can start to star focus visible focus ring and then outline. Well, there's no, I mean, you just use outline. Outline. Right. For your focus indicator. Yeah. That's outline. But isn't the focus visible used to be called focus ring. Actually. That's the same thing. Yeah. So can I do because by default the outline is like kind of blurred whether it fades out. Yeah. Can I do that? Yeah. So someone was telling me if you just do outline auto it should revert to that. But that actual sort of the blue thing that you see there is in the user agent style sheet. You can literally it's kind of cool if you just open up what is it cs.chromium.org and type in html.css. Like that is the user. That's like all the styles in the browser is that file. And it's like that's the kind of thing that I kind of got to discover on the intro rotation is you can just go in there and you'd be like, I can just change this if I want. Like you will see interesting units like the QEMs the croaky EMs. Yeah. Yeah. Weird stuff. So when you're saying it's heuristics based how did you get that through a standard? So that's actually we're still working on that. That was some of the feedback that we got which was like we want to know more about the conformance for this thing. So we're working on a patch right now to really like explain when we think it's beneficial. And so typically it's like, you know for anything kind of like where you know the user is going to be providing some keyboard input like a text field or something like that you probably always want to show it then. Whereas for something where the only action is literally like click a thing, like a button or like a slider knob or something you maybe don't want it in those cases. So it kind of depends on the intent of the interaction and everything. But in the end it's going to be left to the UI to the side. Yeah. Ultimately like so there'll be some conformance criteria that we're going to kind of recommend and hopefully everyone would follow that because yeah you would want it to be consistent because otherwise it ends up with just yet another kind of broken focus experience. Yeah, that makes sense. So you're speaking about accessibility, right? Is that focus ring or are you covering other stuff as well? Yeah, so I'm going to talk about what's new in DevTools. So there's some cool accessibility stuff that we've added there. Talk about focus visible. And then the other thing we're going to talk about in the second half, Dominic Mazzoni who is an engineer on the blink team is going to come up and talk about accessibility AOM depending on how you AOM depending on the camp that you fall in. So yeah, that's actually a way to just create your own virtual accessibility tree listen for accessibility. Let's stop there because what even is an accessibility tree? Oh, okay, yeah. So that's actually a good question. So this is something I didn't really understand for a long time. I was like, how does the browser make a screen reader say the things that it says? And it was always just kind of a mystery to me. But basically it's like you've got your HTML. Which is a tree. Right, that gets turned into DOM which developers are familiar with that. But then the browser does this one extra step where it takes the DOM and it sort of prunes out all the parts that are not semantically interesting. So if you've got a bunch of divs just for positioning things on screen, it just sort of throws us away. It builds this sparse tree of just the semantic goodies. And that's the accessibility tree and that's what actually gets handed off to assistive technology. So if I do something like area hidden then that's my instruction to say pruning out a whole chunk of the DOM from the accessibility tree. It kind of sounds similar coming from the CSS like display none which removes something from the rendering tree. It also removes it from the accessibility tree. It's so many trees. So we're actually getting access to this tree. Yeah, what you'll be able to do there's kind of a few things. You'll be able to listen to certain events that previously were only available through accessibility technology. And the other thing you can do is you want to think of it that way. That's probably really relevant for, for example, Canvas, right? Indeed, yes. Canvas. If you're building WebGL, maybe some kind of SVG that's hard to make accessible. Or maybe even just a regular DOM component. Like for the longest time it's been really, really difficult in some situations where you have something and it's almost like in Canvas it's almost like a black box. With DOM it could be just a really elaborate thing for something presentational. But now you can just hook in there and you can just say, you know what? Well, weird and elaborate, but here's the actual thing I want to be represented in the accessibility tree. Is that like a pure JavaScript API? Or are we going to be markup as well? It'll be pure JavaScript. At least initially. Okay, sure. Yeah, so it'll be all JavaScript. So one of the struggles, I think, with accessibility is getting developers to care about it. And I felt like performance is in that bucket as well. It's slightly difficult to get budget for that, even though I would say well, I think accessibility is a lot of people who get real value from it and with performance as well. With performance I feel like AMP has done a really good job of kind of taking that to businesses and saying performance is important. Making it the default, right? Yeah, what can we do for accessibility to achieve the same? Yeah, so it's tough because accessibility, because the area is really broad, some of the things fall into user experience and design, so color contrast and stuff like that, people tend to kind of like pick that up and incorporate it into their design process a little bit better. You get into other areas, though, like screen reader support in ARIA and a lot of people are like, well, that's not my problem, right? It's sort of out of sight, out of mind. If it's not something that's directly affecting the developer, they kind of just don't care about it. So I think what has been really successful for a lot of teams has been doing a more inclusive design approach, so making sure that you're bringing in people who may have disabilities or impairments into the design phase, into the product testing phase, and, you know, even like also making sure that those people that, like, you're employing those folks on your team even, that engineers on your team, like, might have disabilities and things like that, because it doesn't work for literally the engineer on the team, like, it's not going to ship, right? And so we need to just, like, I think in general do a better job of, like, including more people in our design practice. And as a result, hopefully it just becomes something that everyone just does as part of their kind of their daily habit. Well, thank you so much for joining us. Good luck with your talk. And... Something? You can't do that. You can't really look at me and just say, you don't finish this. I think I totally messed you up. I was like, thank you for having me. That's fine. That's fine. Do you want to try that again? No, we're just going to leave this. It's the ending now. We're going to keep dragging out, like, into the rings. So many endings. When is your talk? It's soon, right? So we're just going to go straight... This ending is going to last straight into the talk. Okay, that's good. All right.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq_8OyYXPYY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC8JyMQzK9PddVZwIOpuozOw	Return after death?	Can a person go to Hell and back?	[ "to hell and back", "hell & back", "near death experience", "23 minutes in hell", "60 minutes in heaven" ]	2022-05-03T20:00:11	2024-02-13T18:54:04	493	zQbBG6nSHY8	with all these stories about people dying and going either to heaven or hell and then coming back. Are any of those true? No. Hey smart Christians welcome back. One of the questions that gets asked quite a bit is about these stories where people say they have died and then either gone to hell and come back or have gone to heaven and then come back. The issue is or the question is are they telling the truth? Now first of all it's possible that a person can genuinely believe that they went to heaven or went to hell and came back and that they then have a purpose for coming back. Many people who say they went to heaven when they say they came back they came back to let us know about how great that heaven is and then many of the people who say that they have gone to hell and have come back have come back to warn us about the torment that awaits anyone who has not come to Christ. These accounts are not just specific to the Christian faith. There are people in other different faiths that have the same sort of accounts even atheists and it's always something different. Now is that true and what does the Bible say about that? We do have some passages that kind of shed light on this a little bit. Now I want to stick with the New Testament because there are some Old Testament examples, well some Old Covenant examples, examples that happened under the Old Covenant where there was someone who died and then came back. We think about Elijah, we think about Moses, we think about Samuel, but right now since the death burial and resurrection of Christ does that happen? Well one of the passages that tells us that gives us a little bit of insight on when a person dies if they go to heaven or hell there's a passage that we just cannot overlook when someone says they've gone to hell. Now they're coming back to warn us about the dangers or the torment that awaits someone who goes to hell. Recall the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke chapter 16 and we'll start at verse 27 and this is the rich man saying I beg you father to send me to my father's house for I have five brothers so that he may warn them lest they also come into this place of torment. But Abraham said they have Moses and the prophets let them hear them and he said no father Abraham but if someone goes to them from the dead they will repent and look what he says he said to them if they do not hear Moses and the prophets neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead. So here we're told that even someone coming back from the dead to warn them they still won't repent if that's if the word isn't enough then you coming back from the dead won't be enough either and that if it was true then then wouldn't it be true now and so that kind of colors the way we would look at someone who would say something like that that they came back from the dead again not to say that they don't believe that they died and went to hell or to heaven again you can feel a certain way and that it not be true. Remember we are told in Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27 says that just as it is a point to man to die once and after that comes the judgment and so that seems to state that once you die there's judgment you are going to give an account at that moment and it doesn't seem like you're going to be coming back from that after that after death then comes a judgment and then also add in what Paul says Paul says in 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 80 says yes we are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord and then other verses say to be added from the body is to be present with the Lord meaning that once you leave this shell this body once you die then you go to be present with the Lord that is if you are a believer. Now you don't get to heaven if you're not a believer so if anyone is making any statement about going to heaven having not become a Christian first well that's that's one reason why you would automatically discount that but then even here if you are a Christian you're not coming back to earth for any reason there's nothing that you could possibly tell them that is more than them having the gospel. Now I know what some people are going to say they're going to say what about Paul didn't Paul go to the third heaven well let's look a bit closer and see if we can find an answer in chapter 12 verse 2 he says I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago was caught up to the third heaven whether in the body or out of the body I do not know God knows and we could stop there the issue is was Paul taken up to heaven did Paul see heaven now he says either in the body either physically he went or as a vision out of the body well I'm going to say that what Paul was given was a vision and not an actual bodily experience for one Paul's body could not go to heaven because Paul has a corruptible body Paul has a sinful body and when we go to heaven we either go as a spirit or we take on an incorporeal body given a brand new glorified body well Paul hadn't been given that at that point and so what Paul I believe is saying is that this was very real and God is giving him basically a glimpse of what is going to come now does that mean that that's going to happen with anyone else well first of all Paul is a little different this is Paul after all but what people are saying that they have seen and what Paul is speaking of are two different things Paul is saying that he's gotten a glimpse of what's to come but I don't think Paul received the full glimpse a full view of what heaven is like unlike these other folks who are saying that they actually went to heaven and saw it maybe they even saw some people there maybe they saw God they saw they saw one of the Old Testament saints or one of the New Testament believers but there's another passage that I think that Paul says that would shed even more light on this and kind of make this even clearer now remember when Paul makes his statement in 2 Corinthians he's speaking about something that happened 14 years earlier so the passage that we're getting ready to read is after what Paul stated this is in 1 Corinthians and in chapter 12 verse 9 he says but as it is written what no eye has seen nor ear heard nor heart of man imagine what God has prepared for those who love him so what Paul is saying that no eyes or ear have seen uh who those of us who love the Lord what the Lord has in store for us so for someone to come back and say and this would even apply to Paul no one has been able to see this again this is after Paul's account this was after the time that he said that he uh was taken up in in in this vision and so even Paul is still stating that no eyes have seen nor or nor ears have heard uh that includes him and so for anyone else to say that they have seen or have heard uh anything from God while in heaven and then was sent back again how did you get there uh in the body that you're in and if they say it was a vision again Paul just addressed that and then certainly if a person would were to say that they went to hell and came back well no uh you go to hell you're staying there you go to heaven you don't want to come back you're not coming back and so I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that though someone may have had a what they felt like was a real vision a real occurrence that it's not true uh and here's the truth if the scriptures aren't enough to convince you of Christ if the scriptures aren't enough uh to convince you of the reality of hell and heaven well then someone going to heaven or hell and coming back that won't do it either amen	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQbBG6nSHY8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Limited hold is... I have two minutes. Really? Oh, you asshole. You asshole! Folks, we have an example. Brad got me. That was a beautiful limited hold, so we're going to start this one with the example that Brad just did. He told me I had two minutes to complete this in order to earn my reinforcers, in other words, in order for him to turn the camera off. But anyway, the point being that a limited hold is a finite amount of time in which reinforcement is available. It's attached to an FI or a VI schedule usually. They're common procedures in the lab. They're common procedures in the real world. You have to perform a response within a given amount of time, or the reinforcers go away. From the real world would be like a buffet. Breakfast is only available between time A and time B. If you show up after time B, there's no breakfast. That's a limited hold.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDCkZV_5Ew", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC2TXq_t06Hjdr2g_KdKpHQg	Hacking Containers and Kubernetes	https://media.ccc.de/v/Camp2019-10178-hacking_containers_and_kubernetes Exploiting and protecting containers with a few lines of scripting The talks shows the security model of Kubernetes and how to detect and fight security weaknesses with a few lines of scripting. Hidden under the hood of Kubernetes are a lot of security features. Starting from the Linux namespaces used in containers to the network there are a lot of configurations with many bells and whistles supporting or totally destroying the security of a cluster The talk gives an overview of the container escape vulnerabilities in the wild, that are documented in the CVE database. Simple scripts are shown to check clusters for vulnerabilities. The scripts are used to analyze Istio, the "trust nothing" distributed firewall solution, and find an exploitable attack immediately. This would be a script kiddie attack, if they already would have started using Kubernetes and Istio. Finally, it is shown, how Istio has handled the bug report and how future versions from 1.2 will close the exploit using the Container Network Interface (CNI). Thomas Fricke https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/camp/2019/Fahrplan/events/10178.html	[ "ccc", "camp2019", "cccamp19", "chaos", "communication", "Security", "Day 1", "Curie", "camp19 ov", "camp19 eng", "Thomas Fricke", "camp19" ]	2019-08-21T14:10:43	2024-02-05T07:28:56	2,583	zQgYg8v81G0	For the next talk, we have Thomas Fricke here, who is hacking containers and Kubernetes. So as I learned from him with a little chat up front, it's a little effort to hack it, but it's also a little effort to write a few lines of code to protect it. So applause for Thomas Fricke. Yeah. Welcome, everybody. So let's go into the details. That's me. I'm partner, and I have been CTO at Endocode, and now I have the title of the chief cloud wizard. This means absolutely nothing, but it describes mostly what I do. I've dealt a lot with system automation, DevOps, cloud databases, and software architectures. So that's what you can ask me about. Personal history is I have more or less the time from the Apple II to Atari, then digital or open digital OSF Unix, and I've been using Linux since 0.95, actually. So I'm pretty old and have a long history, and by the examples, I think you will notice that a little bit. Okay. A disclaimer. We have partnered with CoreOS, which has been bought by Rated, which has been bought by IBM, with Rated themselves, and Google. So our business is consulting, trainings, workshops, and audits on Kubernetes. And this talk is not about the Kubernetes code audits. It's just about what from a user perspective you can find in Kubernetes and where you have to be careful and what you can do to protect this entire ecosystem. So the history of Kubernetes is exciting. The project has developed really fast and was really fast. I mean, in 2013, there was nothing like this. The Borg project in Google in 2014, they published it, and immediately IBM and Rated joined and forced it. Then it was a little bit of testing how it works. We did our first Kubernetes application in 2015. This was Telephony in the Amazon Cloud with all the G10 stuff. The G10, which protects your communication. Then we went into the design pattern mode. Helm came out. And then a lot of training started. It was like introducing beginners to Kubernetes. And from the history, you see the Borg system. You might remember 7 of 9 in Starship Voyager and Star Trek. The next generation has been the Borgs. So 7 of 9 inspired the 7 spokes at the wheel of Kubernetes. So it's actually the friendly Borg system. So this internal joke. We started with security trainings in 2016. All the applications more or less have been toy applications. This has to change in the last year. People came to us from a security critical environment. This means energy control, trading, traffic control. And at this moment we recognized it's time to make Kubernetes and the entire ecosystem really secure. And the talk is how you can do it. And maybe I want to inspire you to look into the stuff on your own and get a real impression on that. So this is where Kubernetes runs at the moment. And I missed the back ends of the car industry. And I even know some projects which I don't support in the surveillance industry. Face recognition in Kubernetes for airports is actually something I don't like. But it's hosted by some of the usual suspect companies. For those of you who have not heard about Kubernetes, it's a Greek word for hamsman. Same root as governor and cybernetic. And for you, what is important is it's 100% open source. It's written in Go. You can change it on your own. You can install it. You can compile it. It's not a product as a Linux kernel is not a product. Some people make products out of it. So the main message is Kubernetes manages applications and not machines. This slides from Google. So this is a 10,000 foot view on the left side. You have the user clients which connect with API or command line interfaces or user interface. Then you have the master servers which only have data which is persistent in the ETCD part. The ETCD is a distributed database. And you always talk only to the API server and everything is stored in the ETCD. So all your secrets, configurations of the entire cluster, the state of the cluster is in the ETCD. Schedulers and other controllers are starting processes. And on the worker node side, the very right side, you have cubelets which more or less take over the role to orchestrate Docker or any other container runtime to start your processes. And this is what you should really, so this is the marketing care about. You have the user side, the API and the container cluster. Okay. This is not what we are doing on this kind of events and congresses. Let's look into it. My main message is, Kubernetes is part of the DevSecOps landscape. DevOps is more or less dead, but it is revoked as GitOps, DevSecOps, SecDevOps or configuration as code as you want, how you want to name it. It's not well defined. And together with the typical stack of security, so confidentiality, integrity, accessibility, Kubernetes adds automation and what most people don't know, the possibility to audit your cluster out of the box in the latest version. So these are the missing things. And there is no good definition of DevSecOps. So for me, it's a philosophy. You take DevOps and add security to every step. And this means it's an educational process. It's about the mindset and mindset needs to be implemented in what we are. So in your brain, it must be clear what's going on. And if you have a map, what all belongs to DevSecOps, this is a typical map. And you see Kubernetes is doing a lot of this stuff. And cloud providers, and you can write your own cloud with Kubernetes, need to do the missing part. Just to remember, this is a complex map and we have to deal with it. So this is the background. Let's go technical. What is a container? So it's often compared to a light-white virtual machine. This is true and not true at the same site. For developers, it very often looks it's a virtual machine. I can install everything in the container. From an operations point of view, it's the wrong approach. Like you see on the right side, you can do it, but it does not fit very well. So from an operations side, you should follow the 12-factor philosophy. One process per container and have a well-defined behavior that the containers can be controlled. So what are containers? Actually, for me, it's not only, oh, Docker is a container. Yes, it is, but containers are a way of isolating and restricting Linux processes. You do the isolation by namespaces, capabilities, and have restrictions like in the C groups or second part of the Linux kernel. And the layout is what you have on the left side with virtual machines. Always needs a kind of hypervisor, typically QAMO KVM. Where you have processes, you can emulate every operating system. On the right side, you see containers are running in the Linux process space. So the real Linux processes in the Linux kernel takes care about the isolation. Whereas on the left side in virtual machines, you have simply the Intel or other processes that guarantee that you isolate with ring zero and other stuff. Linux namespaces are not so well known as intended. So here are the typical Linux namespaces. And you have all the namespaces. Most important, most important, you can set the namespace per process individually. You can have processes in the same network namespace, which are completely isolated in a process namespace with a typical thing, which is something you have to have in mind, because the Kubernetes ports are designed in a way that they share common network namespace. Capabilities are also something which is not so well known as the Linux kernel. These are 38 capabilities in a 64-bit area implemented in the kernel. And you have things like cap net admin, then you can change the network layout, can run IP tables, set up private devices, things like this cap net row, which gives you raw access to the network. CapSys admin is in root here. If you have capSys admin for a process, it can do everything. CapSys time, for example, can change the time in a container. You normally have the time, same time as in the host machine. So with capSys time, a container could change the clock. One word of warning, there is a lot of wrong stuff. And unfortunately, even the Bundesamt for Sicherheit in the Information Technik does not know very well about containers and Kubernetes. So it's more or less 50-50 truth and false, what they say about it. And unfortunately, even the EX article in the Heisen magazine is not really helpful. So don't believe what's done there. Just think of your own. And this is going to explain what is a Kubernetes port. A port is where you share the network capabilities. This means you have in both containers the same local host and the same IP tables rules, the same DNS, the same whatever tunneling if you do tunnelings, and everything can be separate. So one container could have access to a different part of the file system. Definitely has different users or mount devices, process IDs. And this is an example. On the right side, you'll see the simple spot. It's just starting an NGINX server. You should simply know a single container is always a port, but containers are really only good if you glue them together in a port. This is an example where you can ensure, can secure an SQL connection with a WordPress server. So I don't like WordPress very much, but if you have to create a WordPress server, it needs access to a database. And here you see on the left side, the green part is how the WordPress server is configured to use a local host, my SQL database. But it does not have a database running. So the right side is another container which is Cloud SQL proxy, which goes directly into the Google Cloud and connects you with additional credentials, which have a different life cycle than your passwords, and encrypt it and open a TCP proxy connection. The TCP proxy connection is secured if you don't like the Google approach. The Cloud SQL proxy is open source. You can, as everything here in this talk is open source, you can use it and redirect it to your own database cluster if you like it. It's not as difficult. So this is a use case where a port makes the database connection more secure than before. The secrets are stored in Kubernetes, so here is a way of generating the username, password, secret for the MySQL connection, and below you see the certificates and private keys for the Cloud SQL connection. So this is typical stuff if you set up a database in Google Kubernetes engine, JKE. If you want to look deeper into this stuff, here are some things I can recommend. For example, if you don't like the BSI stuff, start with the NIST stuff, so the National Institute of Standards from the American government has published a very useful report on how to set up Kubernetes and other container systems secure. So the security architecture is based on a very subtile system with users, service groups, service accounts, namespaces, roles, role bindings, and when you have pod secrets, cluster roles, role bindings, all the blue stuff is just an object in Kubernetes. You can also connect the Kubernetes service accounts and all the stuff to the Cloud identity and access management IAM. This has to be implemented by your Cloud provider. If you want to be your own Cloud provider, I would recommend to implement it on your own. The next thing is pod security policy. It's more difficult because here you protect the local machine from something inside the containers, especially the data layer is important. If you configure Kubernetes completely wrong, then you get access to the host file system and then a privileged container can do more or less everything. I have an example here how you can get access to... in a few minutes... how you can get access to Docker sockets. This is a security system here. What you should consider is setting up your own admission controller that you definitely control what's going on. The pod security policy implementation isn't admission controller. This is controlling the way you start pods in Kubernetes and it even can change the configuration of a pod or a refuser. This is recommended things you should read. If you start deployments, one thing I showed you is the capabilities. Docker has a default set of capabilities which in our opinion and most of the people is completely useless. So drop all the capabilities of Docker which are mentioned there. For example, you have some things like deck override. This is a disk foundationary access control. In Linux, it allows root to bypass, file rate, write and execute permission checks if it's forbidden for root. In my opinion, Steve Grapp is absolutely right and says nothing should need this. This is complete nonsense. If your container needs this, it's probably doing something horrible. So please switch this off. The only thing you could use is a net bind service which allows your user space application to use privileged pods in the container. But if you use unprivileged pods, you don't even need this privileged. Yes, the privileged system is complicated and we have even things like the exact VE system can escalate privileges if you don't have a flag which says new prifts added to prevent systems like this. This is in the Linux kernel 3.5. It's not a good idea. It's absolutely stupid idea and it's exposed by Kubernetes. If you say, I don't want to do privileged escalation, then you don't get these privileges with the following exception. This is weird. When a container is privileged, okay, I can understand this. When CAPSIS admin is added to the container, it makes sense. But when a container is not run as root and UID 0 is added, so this privilege is added to prevent breaking said UID binaries that you can do as a Zoodo in a container which is nonsense. This is complete nonsense and you should switch it off. Unfortunately, you have to check it with this cat proc 1 status in the second line here that it's not really getting escalated. Thanks to Andreas Peters-Petty from Spiegel online pointing to this issue. I have shared the link where this is discussed in detail. So what can go wrong with some metal configured cluster? You all know the bash-bomb. Here is the cloud-bomb. If anyone has a Kubernetes cluster up to version 1.6, this probably will work. Don't try it in production. Still works in MiniCupid without protection. Here you can start from inside busybox, a Docker process, getting access to the Docker socket and running the Docker binary from inside a container which is nice if you want to build containers, in containers, a security point of view. It's a serious flaw and it should be definitely turned off. We have talked a lot about complexity and everybody agrees complexity is worth any me of security. This is a site from Bruce Schneier's interview in Hong Kong 2012. What he also says is we absolutely love complexities. This is not... I don't want this kind of thing. We have to discuss it. Effectively, my personal conclusion is a philosophical or religious discussion. What we need and what we want is different. We can talk about this, but this is not a technical issue. Here is a network view. You have been warned. More complexity. What you see as a blue part again is what happens in Kubernetes. The example here is if you set up an Ingress which controls the way Kubernetes is accessed by the outside, you can use a certificate in your cluster. In the Google Cloud, it can be connected to regional or to the global load balance which is unseen, as I think, and then you get a global rule to your cluster, which means you have exposed the TLS certificate to the Google global load balancer which is implemented as Maglev which will be in talk on its own, and then you get a certificate. It takes 8 minutes or 10 minutes to get ready, and then Google injects the traffic into your network endpoint groups which gives you 40 gigabit per second performance on the high end. So this is definitely what you want. On the other side, this complexity must be handled somehow. And if you want to write your own Kubernetes application for your own provider, you have to implement kind of custom controller which definitely takes over these roles. On the light blue level, this is on the Linux level. You see here running containers they are orchestrated through container network interface. You have traffic rules, border gateway protocol, and all this stuff. The bottom layer is the hardware which is configured through your Kubernetes stuff. So we have virtual machines, physical fabric, software defined network, virtual private cloud VPC and things like this. So it's a perfect buzzword being what I'm doing here, but this is more or less the main part of the network system. Okay. What we do is customers come to us or we need more security and then I started to offer audits which means we look into Kubernetes clusters of our customer and give them advice what could be better and what should be fixed or start with writing a security model. You don't even know what you want so how can you implement something with security? These are the top findings, the first thing is storage which is not part of Kubernetes. Then images, installations, pod security, audit logs and networks, I will go through this. Most pain point is everybody does distributed databases wrong. So here's the reason for it, if you want to have a positive talk how you can do it right, look into the Berlin buzzwords talk from Bloomberg, Houston, Putman did it quite right I think and anything else is try to understand at least the theory. Just the beauty database has a cap theory. You can only have two of these three parts and replication is hard even if you do it with MongoDB where replication is implemented the easiest way so try to understand it and databases are not well-factored don't do it in Kubernetes if you are not knowing how to do it outside. Next thing are images so you need image policies, registries, image stream things like this and what we see here very often is you are running code from an unknown source S route with full access to the cluster resources which is a terrible idea. It was always a terrible idea and this includes something like kubectl create minus F which can be hijacked, this would be a different talk but it's actually it's a 30 minutes exercise to do it on your own to implement it in any language if you want to learn go it should take 30 minutes and take I don't have time to go into the ham chart part it's the same for the ham charts. We have seen malicious code here in 2014-15 there was hardly any ghost in images and we would never forgive Microsoft for such a mess and this was the problem two thirds or three fourths of the container had high or medium priority insecurities in the docker hub in 2015 and you can protect it by adding special checks in your system in clear or every cloud provider nowadays has something like that and unfortunately it wasn't better in 2018 and I would not give a coin or give a send on that it's better now so be aware check your images you have to set it up your own the next thing is the cluster set up setting up a cluster is easy but maintaining it under production level is hard so keep the cluster up to date you need five people for this we only see two in the projects you have to manage service accounts and users please automate everything in your system add for the version and try to deploy on the latest version of kubernetes always because kubernetes is lowering the security so it might be that you have an application which is not running on a future version because the security has increased put security add put security to your system definitely limits liveness when it extracts our best practices especially don't switch off se linux or app armor use the host file isolation I show you something like this if you want to check for privileges this is a cube ctl command which is quite easy here can you check for the kubernetes security context especially in it containers and this is a go template version and here you see the red things are there is no such thing like security context the greens have good ones typical mini cube run so it's quick and easy to check it check your run time so docker is still the default but it will change this here that kriu is in ud4 rocket is completely outdated you can now at least in the google cloud have a one click solution at gvisor gvisor isolates the files on top you see what you do on a typical system without gvisor and with run time equals run as c you see gvisor is blocking most of the critical access in your system so you can add it and in the future the good news is the run time class will make it configurable gvisor here this is a restrictive port security policy please apply something like this this excludes everything allows only some important and secure volumes and blocks the host network host IPC and things like that completely so the good thing is on the other side you also can add audit logs to your system for example if you want to do step sec ops in health care environment well the game was you build it and we have all kubernetes yaml files in git secrets in a special secret branch you can add the audits to things audits means you can see every time and somebody access in a container or changes something it's noticed and it's written to a logging system in the google version it's stack driver then you can export it to big query then an auditor can only use sql queries and to inspect what's happening in big query if you don't like google you can also do it with elastic search elastic search has a raw base access model on its own you can use it and simply do it this way okay next thing is the network network policy is a must see here is you can add calico which is add network policy in the google kubernetes engine by d4 and here you have the picture every time something changes in the network configuration of a port the cni the container network interface is called and then it changes the network layout which means changing the routes border gateway protocol ip tables the entire physical fabric is actually very fast but it looks complex network policies are like ip tables rules on labels namespaces and ports so this is a typical network policy rule matching roles like the database should also only be accessible by the front end things like this so if you know ip tables this is something you'll really get into the next hot thing are service mesh so buzzword is istio again it's one click solution in google kubernetes engine it allows private public mix clouds so like gke on premises it's also necessary for k natives so the serverless application on top of kubernetes it will be part of open shift 4 it has developed mainly by google ibm and wetted so looks important big names impressive architecture should be secure let's look deeper into it this is a picture from istio shows secure defense in depth 0 trust network all the buzzwords and what they are using effectively are sidecars so here is the layout of the port where you have the istio envoy container which does a proxy work and what they don't mention very public is they running an init container changes the ip tables rules and it's in user space effectively so it has a net admin capability net admin capability is some people say it's nearly like net sysadmin and on the side they also have a ca and citadel and all this stuff so let's look into it this is a picture of a service mesh so from right here you can configure everything you are running sidecars sidecars control the network your microservice application is not is not able to escape the rules of the sidecar really here is how you can escape from the rules so sidecars are used in user space so you can revert it but simply running this ip tables rules from a different container and it takes the istio proxy container itself to remove these rules again and here you see how we classically remove ip tables rules and then all your network security is voided and this is really a problem for the cloud so you have added network security but you have lost multi tenancy because if everybody who can deploy something like this can remove the network security you have a problem so it should be added at least the pot security policies that you are not allowed to do this so I found this file the bug in January included this exploit disclosure limit of six weeks I forgot the issue then I received an answer in March so eight weeks okay seven weeks from Tau Lee Google Florida and I was not the first who invented this bug but I think this is a script curly approach it has been confirmed and they told me that in istio one dot two the container network interface will take over the thing so the same thing which is more or less not in user space is done now and the container network interface can be used and cannot be controlled from from a user port so istio one dot two is ready now but it's not rolled out out everywhere so it's still a side car so be aware that you have to fix something not many people are running istio at the moment fortunately but in the future we will see more of our customers doing this implementations with istio so the conclusion it's lengthy but actually it's a lot of fun working with Kubernetes and for me it feels like working with unix and linux in the early 90s so you see a lot of low hanging fruits and security if you know the good old system engineering and you question the marketing slides you can find a lot of flaws I think and I did not even look into the go code DevSecOps in general is a good idea we see it in our customers projects but don't forget the sec if you dive deeper in a system like this you will find flaws it's inevitable the flaws are presented here the docker flaws are parts of docker and not part of Kubernetes and part of the weird capability system of linux which simply should be cleaned up you will see a lot of buzzwords and you will see the typical thing you focus on one security aspect and then somebody has a back door and does something completely weird behind your back trust nothing for me it's a buzzword you always have to trust somebody you have to trust the code you have to trust your cluster you have to trust your users if they are doing but okay you can trust no network cluster now you can support it if you look deeper into it by writing and responsibly disclosing a plot the community is really friendly and supportive so you can get back some things and that's everything what I wanted to tell you so start using it use it responsibly and just have a way of looking into the security so if you have questions try to stay above all these clouds giving a workshop on this in the sea base area at 3pm so let's go for it okay thank you very much questions has anybody a question please raise your hand is there any questions from the internet no questions from the internet okay go right away what's the security issue with that is your sidecar in particular actually you can switch it off by deploying this net admin container additionally so it's just in user space you have trust your containers if they would have done it right they would have written an admission controller which does not allow a net admin capability on its own would refuse this kind of container and then add the sidecar container it's just an internal attack so you think you are secure but you can simply remove all the security so it's not so the proxy container is not controlling your connections but it can show you the exploit working if you come to the workshop the actual application itself is the actual application itself is still running unprivileged yeah it's unprivileged but for example it can telephone to the home base so it definitely can circumvent all the egress and ingress network restrictions if you got project level permissions me you don't need project level permissions you need simply setting up this cluster and then you do the Istio injection and then you this container is running after Istio has injected the security rules and then it's removed again thank you welcome hi there thank you much that was a great talk I'm a CNI maintainer by the way so hi have you seen cube let me in so anyway we can talk about afterwards but there are some well known vulnerabilities in most Kubernetes providers and if the project cube let me in is script kitties for Kubernetes and it can exploit like GKE OpenShift those things like that I believe that it's possible if you collect all the things together you have a nice collection of this kind of stuff any more exploits you find we can put it together yeah great thank you thank you please go on but please talk a little slower it's hard to hear on the stage thank you for the talk it was very interesting I was wondering if there is any way to make helm the package manager more secure or you don't recommend using it at all what I would recommend is to limit to a certain namespace so you have a very well known option minus minus tiller namespace and then you can inject this tiller application which is really not necessary in the future it will be removed in helm 3.0 and then you have it in the namespace only and then you can the damage is limited to this namespace so normally now it has full system access and you can remove everything and this is a problem any more questions from the internet ok thank you very much I close this talk now big applause for Thomas Fricke	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQgYg8v81G0", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution -

The 1990s are regarded as the time that truly sparked innovation within the video game industry. A rivalry sparked, and a new player even joined the clash between the Titanic companies. But one of the many startups that had tried and failed to become the next success story. Numerous smaller groups pushed mediocre releases in the pursuit of profit, though not every small company had this same goal. The year is now 2021, and I find myself part of a cozy release group. We are not entirely unlike piracy groups, but rather than targeting hot new games, we did for prototypes and unreleased console games. Any of the big players in the gaming industry are generally avoided, we aren't trying to find a lawsuit after all. Nothing we happen to find and show to the public garners much attention due to the obscurity of each piece, though it remains funny enough that we continue. It's a rainy dreary morning when I receive a message in our group chat. It came from our leader, Victor. Hey Tamara, I managed to score something amazing. Can I send it to you? I don't have time to work on it lol. Always happy to look at something new, I replied with, of course. Make sure it's secure alright. Victor was across the pond in France, so anything would take some time to land here in the States. He didn't want to reveal the exact contents of the package he was sending, but I assumed it was just another old disc of a computer game. Weeks passed, until on a familiar morning, a bulky cardboard box arrived at my doorstep, addressed to Tamara K.R.S. Not wanting it to get soaked, I quickly brought it inside, struggling with the weight. Opening the package revealed a small variety of game cartridges, along with a console to run them. After bringing all the contents out, I started to examine each item closely. The console sported a peculiar design, using a rounded triangular shape over a typical rectangular one. The light green plastic shell held only one label, which had long sense mellowed and had its text faded to an illegible point. Fixed to one edge was a cheap 2-prong power cable, along with video cables. Looking at the game cartridges however, left little to discover. It used a gray shell with cheap aged labels showing a simplified name and some numbers that were likely used as version codes. They were certainly prototypes, with such basic design. The controller was equally as visually and interesting, being a clone of a three-button Sega Genesis controller. It was at this point that I had enough of just looking, and I decided to start playing. Looking everything up, I went with the first game I grabbed, labeled, Electric. And booting, it was clear that this was likely the first physical prototype produced for this game. Its title screen contained only a large bold electric at the top of the screen, with a much smaller press start below it. Following that instruction queued a loud lightning sound, and the game itself began. Unpolished 16-bit graphics faded in, showing a Mario-style platformer. It felt much like a rip-off, with basic changes like Mario becoming Marco, and fireballs being lightning bolts instead. I played up to the fourth level of the first world, taking place in the typical bad guy castle. But rather than the final room being the chamber of some monster, it instead held only a chair. Figuring it was the bad guy's throne, I jumped over to it, figuring it might be the clear condition for the level. Instead, making contact with it cut the screen to a bright yellow, with the same lightning sound as when I started the game playing at an even greater volume. The yellow screen persisted, so I simply turned the console off. Such a booming noise gave me a headache anyway, so I poked a painkiller and tried to take a nap. My phone ringing swiftly put an end to any attempt to sleep however. Annoyed, I checked the caller. Victor. I answered and tried to speak, only to be interrupted with, I don't care what's happening, you need to go and play those other games, now. Only silence remained after he finished his piece. I was confused as to why he called me to say that, but I felt a genuine emotion in his words. Was it fear, was it demanding, was it even something he chose to say, or was it forced? The pain in my head effectively killed any analytical ability I had, but I was able to tell that he was serious, regardless of his situation. Despite my pain, I left my bed and returned to that console, inserting the next game, Morph. I had a title screen equally as basic as Electric used, but thankfully without any sounds after pressing start. Rather than a game, it was a character creator. I was given a few options for body parts to use, such as hair, face, clothes, and body type. Not many options were present, but you could make full sized 16 bit characters, and shrink them down to a sprite that looks like it would fit in Electric. There was a feature to name your character with a limit of 5 letters, so I called it N. I could select the sex of the character, though it didn't affect appearance. The final option was, crimes. Unusual, but I played along and said that N's crime was theft. Once I hit complete, there was a freeze, and then I was given a dialogue box saying, saved to console memory. Console memory. That was an impressive feature to see on what appeared to be an old console, as most used memory cards or kept their memory on the actual game cartridges. After saving N to the memory, I powered off the console and inserted the final game I had, Street. My headache was fading by this point, so I was prepared to play a real game. Once again it used a nearly identical background to the previous games, and like Morph it liked any sound effects. Entering the game did greet me with a simple MIDI song, in a minor key. I was immediately given a prompt. Load character from console memory. Excited that I could use N, I picked yes and she was placed into the dark rainy streets of a metropolitan area. The controls were exactly like that of Electric, though there was far less platforming to do, and no enemies to fight or power-ups to collect. But unlike Electric, the level design was unique. Heavy rain poured from the sky, with puddles formed inside depressed parts of the road. Good colors added to the overall mood, and my initial excitement turned to a more somber experience. Eventually, N reached the end of the gloomy area, and rather than advancing to the right N to a new level, she stocked outside what appeared to be a corner store. Player controls were disabled by this point, and N faced the door of the business, crashing it down and entering. Inside was the next level, where N would have a thought bubble appear above her head, and I had to collect that item she was thinking about. Each item collected would then prompt another to appear in its place. Despite appearing as a small shock from the outside, the interior was expensive, featuring some challenging platforming sections. Once I finally collected the last item N wanted, a message box appeared, saying, Good work, now we need to escape before someone shows up. Concern started to grow by now. After all, we just stole from this store. Left, just like I put as her crime. Making our way back to the entrance of the level, a police officer was waiting right where we had started. A compressed out was spoken from that officer before N promptly shot him, without any of my input. Liking any control once again, she fled the building, returning to the street's level, and swiftly being surrounded by other officers, who brought her to the ground. Once they had sent her down, a dialogue box with saved to console memory appeared, and the game ended itself. Shortly after was another call from Victor. Electric. Classic code. All I can say. It ended as quickly as it began, but I still went ahead with his instructions. Inserting and booting electric again, I pondered what he meant with classic code, but then tried what was the most obvious. Up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. I said aloud to myself while entering the iconic cheat code. Getting start sent me into a debug menu, with the options of force load from system, start at level, and exit. Selecting the force load prompted me with N's profile, this time with some new information. Name, N. Sex, female. Crimes, theft, breaking and entering, murder. It seems that our actions in street had overridden her profile, and added to her list of crimes. Confirm loaded profile. Yes slash no. Well, I won't shy away from what we did, so I selected yes and was brought back to the initial debug menu. This time I selected to start at level, which had the options of world 1 level 1, world 1 level 2, world 1 level 3, world 1 level 4, world 2 level e. World 2 level e was a level I couldn't reach before, so I selected that, and was promptly loaded in. Instead of a level, it was a single confined room. A steel prison door stands in the foreground, locked tight. In the center of the room is a chair, facing the player. I didn't have any trouble figuring out what the point of this room was. Still, I had N jump around and try to find anything yet in within the room, but to no avail. Our only option was to enter that chair. I could have gone first, but I forced N into it. I had her run right over to it, and she was instantly strapped inside, and the chair activated. Blinding yellow flashes filled the screen along with the deafening sounds of the lightning entering her constrained body and burning it from inside and out. The console shut itself off entirely after N's punishment was complete. We both committed those crimes though. I brought N to that store, I lent her to each item we stole and stood by as she spilled the blood of a man who tried to bring justice to us. I planted every bit of conductive material I owned into my desk chair and hauled it outside to the overpowering storm. Funder clapped all around as I sat alone, drenched by the water that was now causing a flood. This failed to bother me, as retribution will soon reach me. Just like it did with N.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ86W-W6OdY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCmYAQDZIQGm_kPvemBc_qwg	The Clicks And Clacks Of Mechanical Keyboards - DevConf.CZ 2023	Speaker(s): Ondrej Kinst In recent years, mechanical keyboards have experienced a surge in popularity due to their feel, durability and customizability. But did you know there are silent mechanical keyboard switches and that ~34 keys can be enough to type on? In this talk, we'll cover the basics of mechanical keyboards while trying to address the common misconceptions people have about them. These misconceptions often come from the fact that there are so many available options and not many people have the option to actually try these products (switches, layouts, etc.) before buying them. You'll also be able to try a wide selection of switches and layouts (if not during the talk then at a booth right after). By the end of the talk you'll have a solid understanding of all the options available, including the things won't generally find in mainstream articles. Whether you've never looked into the world of mechanical keyboards or you already own several, this talk is sure to provide valuable insights. https://sched.co/1MYpb	null	2023-07-04T13:30:28	2024-02-05T07:30:13	771	zqNAB2DIRYs	Thank you. So hey, my name is Andre. I'm a software developer at Red Hat, also a student right here at this very faculty. And I'm a huge keyboard nerd, as you might have noticed by now. As a disclaimer, I'm gonna use the P word, so watch out, preference. Everything in this hobby is about preference. You may not agree with all that I'm saying and all this stuff. You may like different things and that's all right. There might be more interesting flavors but people still like vanilla, all this kind of stuff. As to why mechanical keyboards, let me start with this. How many of you guys do have a mechanical keyboard by a show of hands? Okay. How many of these have a Cherry MX switches? Quite a lot, all right. Luckily it's pretty many. So why mechanical keyboards? Well, options. More specifically, options and looks because the keycaps are compatible between each other. You can mix and match all this kind of stuff. Options and feel, which depends both on the switches because the switches have a different mechanism and stuff and also cases because there's cases designed to be more light on the touch and stuff, all this kind of weird stuff in this hobby. The sound, there are plenty of people just obsessed with the talk as they call some kind of sound and stuff. Options, layouts, plenty of layouts and firmware because most of the, I'd say more expensive as well but especially the more open source split, weird kind of keyboards use open source QMK firmware which is you can set up anything you want. And yeah, open source because some of the keyboards just are available anywhere. I mean on GitHub or something and you can just order the PCBs and build yourself. Switches, I use this amazing graph with emojis combined with each other. This is for these little things I'm gonna pass. Try and, you can try and test this, see which switch you like as well. There's the cherry, the hole because it's a rabbit hole once you go into the enthusiast switches and then there's silent switches as well and there's a linear one, the tactile ones and the clicky ones. There's no clicky silent one. That's how you tell which way to orient this. So I'm gonna pass this along and good luck. But yeah, to sort of help you with this, the main difference you should be basically looking for for the linear system, the non-cherry ones are usually more smooth while the tactile ones have a stronger bump and the clicky ones just use a different click mechanism so it's not much of a rattle. It's more like a pure click. So some common misconceptions for switches. There's this, a lot of saying like red is for gaming, blue is for typing, brown is for everything else or for everyone. Most of these things are basically just some things to get you to actually buy some keyboard and figure it out by yourself. It's all about preference. I use reds or linear for typing and programming all that stuff. It's not that it's gonna help you in any way. It's just preference. It all depends on which one you like and not everyone is able to just go to your store and try a bunch of switches or order like this switch tester. Then it's kind of difficult to help anyone because everyone has a different taste. So then this sort of bullshit was made up to help you just go for it and buy a single switch. Often then cherry MX switches. There's this thing that, there's this issue that cherry had a patent until 2014. So there weren't any other brands making these switches in the same standards as nowadays there are. And so cherry instead of innovating on newer switches and more like smoother switches, better switches, they sort of just went with marketing that we're the original ones. We're the ones that everyone is copying and German engineering. So it has to be the best, right? And it's sort of falling off slowly but people still have this sort of mindset that the others are a clone that can't be good and they're Chinese. But yeah, nowadays Gateron and other brands most importantly innovate a lot and provide some better switches as well. And also the mechanical means loud. This is a mechanical keyboard. I don't believe anyone from the backside can hear this. Nevermind, I'm out. But yeah, there's this sort of misconception that mechanical has to be loud but there are specific silent switches which are even more silent than your usual membrane keyboard. And then the color coding which is just something that works for the basic red, brown, blue and other switches but other brands don't really follow it once you get to do more enthusiast switches. So also then the options are in layouts. You might have seen your usual 100% keyboard. I'm gonna ask you to raise your hand and then lower it the moment I go too small for you guys with the layout, all right? So everyone raise your hand. All right. Does anyone need a 20% okay? So 96, that's just, okay. My hand, just editing keys sort of squashed together with the numpad. A TKL, it's just the tanky list without the numpad. This is an FRL, F-Roll-Less. But watch out, this one also has a blocker instead of the Windows key because some people think that's a very awkward place to have a key. So this one is a F-Roll-Less, Binky-Less, Tanky-Less actually. Then there's a 75% which doesn't have the usual function keys at all or the editing keys. 65% which is without the function as well. That's quite a lot of people, okay. Now we're 12 into the 60% without arrow keys. You have to use the function layers to sort of use other stuff. There's the Ariesu and stuff for like slightly more ergonomic boards. The Ortole, which, okay, three more hands or something, okay. That guy has a split that doesn't count. Then there's the splits. Usually what people end up with are smaller sizes because once you go for ergonomics, you also don't want to stretch your fingers as much. So you use layers to sort of do all kinds of weird stuff and then also you can 3D print some cases. So you get stuff like this or this is what I use at work basically. It looks like a skateboard. Yeah, it's like a skateboard. And then you need manual for your manual basically for the layout you're using at your keyboard. But don't tell me you can't use a 40% if you use this. And you only use two fingers, just come on. Now your thumbs can actually do something and, yeah, it's manageable. And it's not a joke. These are some kind of jokey layouts, but the 40% actually work. So there's plenty of memes to go around, but yeah. And that would be mostly it for me. Thank you. So any questions? Preference again, have two. How many keyboards do you have at home? I think I'm at eight right now. Oh yeah, I have, how many keyboards do I have at home? I have about eight keyboards. So I can have one for each day of the week. Obviously. But yeah, you can sort of see the journey I went, you know, smaller, smaller, and. What if you just have two peaks, more code? Exactly. What is the best switch? What's the best switch? Preference. Mix switches as in they have more. Okay. Some people use heavier springs on like the space bar and stuff, but that's not very common. I would say most people just go roll with, you know, full keyboard with a single switch in the community. What are the best switches? What do I think the best switch is, right? I'm a big linear kind of guy. So I would say like maybe Gator oil kinks are my favorite right now. By the way, from the people that tested the switch I'm not sure how far it got. How many of you preferred the cherry ones? Okay. I think that answers a lot of your questions. About cherry. There was a. Yeah. How can you get a tactile effect in the. In what switch? In the switch. In the switch. It's one of the few more. And can you make some operation more keys with your feet? Okay. Like a clutch. Vim clutch. Okay. I've heard of the Vim clutch that people use a Vim clutch like for, you know, using your driving to switch modes between in Vim and stuff. But I have no clue how those work. So I can't use. I'm not sure. So why can't you swim? All right. If you guys have any, okay. When you switch from keyboard to keyboard, right? How much time do you need to adjust the new layout? As long as the boards are different enough, my brain just clacks. It works immediately. But as long as if the layout is sort of similar, like if I've split, switch between the split and a normal keyboard, it just works automatically. But yeah, if there's like, I have an ortho linear as well. And that sort of messes with my brain because it's similar to a normal keyboard and a split as well sort of. And yeah, that doesn't work too much. But yeah. The non-mechanicals aren't usually linear. So they're... Exactly, but... Oh yeah, I should have been just repeating the questions. Sorry. So again, the question was, what's the differences between linear and... Yeah, yeah. Usually non-mechanical are not exactly linear. They're mostly membrane. Like membrane, I actually more tactile-ish because you have to pierce through the sort of, you know, membrane bump. So they're more tactile-ish. So yeah, the difference is in the field, but they're also mechanical overall, just don't feel as mushy, which can happen with the silent ones because they're actually like some rubber inside the switch to actually make on silent, but they're still way off in field compared to normal switch, like membrane, I mean. I have not tried. My girlfriend did some artisan pickups, just like a little toast or something could do those, but I haven't tried any pretty printed stuff. I did like a keychain stuff you can take at my booth, by the way. And yeah, all the other questions you could also, I could answer at the booth in E, all the way down the way. So I think we're out of time. We still have time. Okay, never mind. Well, thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqNAB2DIRYs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I'm not kidding yet. I Mean I've never been been in one. Hey, you know, and I've Played a lot of games now managed in a lot of games Never been on the receiving end never been on the on the winning end I think I've been in the booth for a couple My dad caught a perfect game here in 1984 in Arlington That was so much fun to be a Small part of it and be on the team to see Corey go out there and spin that It truly was a privilege and and you know, I had butterflies in that ninth inning I'm getting a little emotional now even just Getting a witness that was was really really special and to see You know, his teammates and the excitement of everyone for Corey and just the excitement for themselves being a part of such a thing and Man what a what a performance what can you say and I'm just so happy for him. He's such a pro and We're talking about a guy that's been an amazing picture in his career and You know, he's got another defining and special moment Hey, Erin, you mentioned the butterflies. Obviously, you're not on the mound But just what are those nerves like in the eighth and then in the ninth inning as you're wondering Is he going to be able to complete this? Yeah, and and you know, by the way the games in the balance two to nothing You know, it's not you know, we're not cruising the victory here. This is you know, every pitch is Magnified even more because you know, it's it's a tight ball game and But it's you know, I think it's you know one of the reasons we do this is is to have those feelings of the You know those comp competitive moments or you know, where you where you do have those butterflies And I know being you know our fielders, you know a lot of good plays there You know, I felt like in the final few innings waiter getting some really good jumps in the outfield couple good plays in the infield by DJ Gio and I told labor. I'm like you'll be in that Image forever throwing that final out. He said man, I was nervous and and and that's the thing I could imagine being playing behind them and just having that anxious nervous feeling But just really really happy for him Man But fun to witness does the happiness and excitement get amplified even more knowing how much he had a battle to get back To try to regain his old form with injuries That's certainly a part of it You know, I mean, I'd like to think with any of our guys, you know, no matter everyone's got you know a story I think the one thing that you know with Corey is you know, he's he's come here and You know, I don't want to say fit in well because that's a given he's just Becoming trenched in our culture and embraced in in the clubhouse. I think beloved by everyone And and so I'm excited for him and his story and what he's been through as a Si young award winner one of the dominant pitchers of the game Obviously coming back from what he's been through the last couple of years To work to this point Of course, I'm excited for that, but you know, I think I could paint that picture with a lot of our guys and But tonight, you know, who is we celebrate Corey Kluber and a masterful performance pitch efficient, you know, you know I looked up at one point, you know, I You know, he had six strikeouts and 40 something pitches and for it It's like he was just so efficient and that did such a good job of keeping them off balance I thought him and Hagee were great together tonight and Again, just just a lot of fun to be a part of We go next Eric Bowling Aaron you mentioned in the first inning it crossed your mind. Was there something with his stuff that just jumped out at you that it Was particularly elect for tonight. No, not not really You know, I say that I I could easily said something to Mandy. I told him afterwards. I'm like, hey I was thinking first so you have those things cross your mind every once in a blue moon Not necessarily. I mean, I certainly thought he matched up well with You know, I felt like if he was really mixing his pitches like like we've seen him do recently You know, I Felt like he could navigate and certainly pitch effectively But I think his his the use of the cutter the sinker the curveball the change up all played a significant part In tonight's and I think he did a really good job of you know, keeping them off balance keeping them guessing You know, and I think it's a tribute to to really having command of four pitches Aaron were there any moments tonight where you kind of had that heart in your throat feeling where you were like, oh, no This is the one that does it You know when doll first hit the ball To write I got a little nervous like oh, that's gonna be down the line Even though I know it was a little off the end of the bat I just but as soon as I looked up waiter got such a good jump on the ball And it turned into a fairly routine play because the jumpy got on the ball. So that one I got a little nervous, you know Find my I found myself in the last two innings every ball that was hit You think it's you think it's destined for for to be a hit when when probably it's not I think just because you're probably a little bit more emotional in the moment And before the game you said that Cory had been on a progression of his command game better and better I I assume you're disappointed to see that streak can't come to an end tonight, right? Yeah, I mean though the one, you know I think the one walk was a four-pitch walk where he just you know lost his own there for like Unexplicably almost, you know for for what he was toiling out there tonight And it just how sharp he was all night just four pitches just out of the blue out of the zone But you know other than that it was it was just a special You know kind of a clinic on pitching and Again just fun to witness when you have someone hitting that corner the way he was on either side All night like that I mean, how are you able to see from the dugout really when he's on that corner? Are you just kind of taking for on faith kind of with the umpire saying at that point? Yeah, very difficult here You know is is awesome as this place is it's a completely different and unique Look from the dugout especially, you know in making my Ball strike judgments, you know from the side. We're so far up the third baseline You know I'm right behind essentially right behind the third base coach there You know almost I guess a little akin to to Fenway as far as How deep they are down there? So it's a different view and frankly something that and I think I think I was asked in in the first game here You know about some of you know about Garrett It's hard to get your normal read on some pitches from that angle It's a little bit different than you know what we're accustomed to, you know, 80 90% of the time This was the sixth no-hitter in Major League Baseball this season seven if you count the bum gardener seven inning Why do you think there've been so many no-hitters this season? well, you know I was asked that before the game and and You know, I think it's a lot of things. I think first and foremost. I Think pitchers there's a lot of great pitchers right now pitching is is is really good. I think I think pitchers more than ever You know based on information know exactly what their strengths are what their weaknesses are I think they're outfitted with the absolute right where repertoire for for their skill set So you don't have a lot of guys going out there Throwing pitches that they probably shouldn't throw because you can analyze everything so much. You're able to you know make Little adjustments and learn things in real time almost With you know how things how the ball spins and how you know what? What you should be doing a little different or whatever and then I think the game plans You know are are a lot more spot-on than ever probably You go next to Bruce Beck Erin is this a little bit like a fairy tale in terms of what he's accomplished and how he's come back and everything That's gone into this like in terms of being unexpected. I guess going into this year. I Don't know about fairy tale Bruce You know, you know, it's not a guy that that had debilitating Crushing pitcher injuries, you know, they're you know got hit with the line drive You know the lat, you know that he had not something that you know Once you return from you know, these aren't debilitating things that you know Necessarily can wreck a career, you know, this is just he missed a lot of time and we're talking about You know one of the great pitchers of this, you know last decade so So I don't know if I go fairy tale I mean, it's a great story with obviously some of the trials he's been through and not having pitched much of the last two seasons But this is a guy who's great at what he does and is in great shape is healthy and and now we're seeing You know the fruits of of a guy that really knows what he's doing and and works really hard at his craft You go back to Dan Martin Aaron you touched on it a little bit before what you put Tyler Wade in the game when the Margot hurt and just the impact that he needs on the game What what did that mean? Yeah, it's huge. I mean obviously a huge at bat there. We're you know three two counts stings the ball in the gap And obviously his speed gets him to third base. So he's able to score on the sack fly You know, I thought he played really well in right field I thought he got some really good jumps and closed on some balls, you know that you know plays that seem pretty easy and routine I think a lot of that was because of the jumps and and the athleticism He has to turn them into easy plays and obviously he hasn't played a lot outfield this year for us But you know, I think the skills set that he brings to the table was certainly on display tonight and You know, he was certainly a difference maker in our game Hi Aaron, obviously, it's not your personal accomplishment, but where does this moment rank in your career? It's up there. It really is. I mean, I'm honestly, I'm still Processing it and an emotional because you do very much feel a part of it, you know, we you know, we're family you know, we we go through so much together and You know, one of the great things about this job is You know, you get to know these guys and you want it so much for them you want A great joy when when when your players go out there and have success because you know All that goes on behind the scenes all that goes into, you know, being great at this game As hard as this game is as as humbling as this game and as much as this game I don't care who you are. It's gonna knock you on your butt You know when you when you see guys that you you're grinding with every day and you're fighting with every day Go out and do something really special You know, it's you feel a part of that in a small way and and You know, it makes you happy so where it ranks. I don't know but it's it's up there It really is and there is there a sense of validation because coming into this season It was all about Garrett Cole and the rest in your rotation and now here's Corey Kluber what he has accomplished Um, I don't know. I mean, I mean, obviously I know that story and that narrative But I don't think that's really permeated with those guys. Corey Kluber knows who he is Knows what he's capable of and I would say the same goes for the rest of the rotation and frankly You know, we've seen the rest of the rotation For the most part, you know Have their share of success already in this season So I think we all understand, you know, the greatness that You know, we have in an ace in Garrett Cole, but I don't think any of the rest of our starters uh I don't think that affects them and and I think Partly because I think they're really confident in what they're doing and and we're seeing that Do Kyle you can feel the waiting so we're going to take a final one from one to the other Erin um, what what was my khaki saying in the in the dugout tonight? How was he handling this? Um Who's that? Oh, that's you um He was good, you know He he was great, you know, he didn't he I you'd have to ask him that, you know You know, I did say to him I turned to him before the eighth and I said, you know, if something happens We get in trouble here. I was telling him, you know who I wanted up and he gave me a look like Shut up and walk away Um, you know, I thought he was going to punch me but and then and then going into the ninth You know, we we had a brief moment like hey if if we're going to have chappy up We need to have him up now and and just so he's ready just in case we need something so Uh, that was about the only conversation Uh, I I mean, I guess funny conversation that we had But he was terrific. Uh, he's been great. Um, You know coming down and obviously he knows these guys so well and his is such an important part of our our, you know Pitching program and uh, so he was terrific and I'm sure this is a moment. I know that he's going to save her for for a long time, too Right. Thank you for the time, Erin. We have time because you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqKLf1XD0HE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCXAybWYapa29Ya3LN4hUxvg	Morehouse President David Thomas	Dr. Thomas shares details about the transformational student debt elimination gift, and addresses concerns among faculty about the college's financial standing.	[ "HBCU", "MOREHOUSE COLLEGE" ]	2019-09-25T01:14:10	2024-02-05T16:11:49	740	ZQqIVo-OTsE	HBC judges radio welcome back to our presidential series conversations with our distinguished leaders of historically black colleges and universities today our esteemed guest is Morehouse college president Dr. David Thomas first to discuss with us new details about the transformative gift to the college from billionaire philanthropist and tech exec Robert Smith so Mr. President first an honor to be back on with you last week you revealed new details about the gift that will come to the college and specifically its student support initiative for the elimination or reduction of student loan obligations talk about those new details and what it means to you and what it means to the college Well the new details are that since Mr. Smith made his initial commitment we have developed a an initiative or program called student success that essentially allows us to invite other donors to other donors our potential donors who've expressed interest in Mr. Smith's gift to reduce debt and deal with issues of affordability but this program will allow them to do is to support the college around the efforts to you know deal with the affordability of our college education and for example we've had people express interest in addressing issues of affordability but not wanting to necessarily do so in the same model that Mr. Smith is following with where he relieved the debt of an entire class regardless of the occupation that they're going to go into we've had some people express interest for example in addressing the debt of students who might go into high social value creation occupations but low pay at the entry level an example is teaching this program would allow us to customize you know various ways to address affordability to the donors wishes and also to the donors capacity for contribution but at the same time have that donor feel like and realize that they're connected to the broader effort to address issues of affordability that Mr. Smith's gift really has been catalytic for or talk about the the nuts and bolts of a gift like this because I think that people who are lay persons on higher education would assume oh more house got $34 million that that changes everything and in a lot of ways it does from public relations and marketing standpoint certainly but because this is a targeted gift or targeted reason how much education have you had to do with some of your alumni stakeholders are just external groups that support more house educating them on what this actually means that there are restrictions that come with this yeah this isn't a new gym that we're getting what is what kind of education do you have to give people to understand right that's a that's a great that's a great question and a great point and we have had to educate various members of our community in our constituency about the fact that while this gift will be given to the college to administer it is restricted to eliminating the student related college education debt for the class of 2019 the money will come to the college and then we will release that money to the various institutions that own the debt service of each of our students whether it's Sally may our various banks no check the other thing we've had to educate people on is no student or parent will actually get a check with their name on it the money will go directly to the institution and extinguish their debt so our students and their families or their parents are beneficiaries but they're not recipients of the money right and of the 34 million dollars we expect that with the exception of a small grant that's included to support research longitudinal research which we are imagining now as a 10 year study on how this debt impacts these and these individual students or this debt relief other than that which is about $400,000 by the time we get to the turn of the year all of the money will be dispersed and so more house will not be sitting on a cushion of $34 million it's so important to know because people people see that and they've seen that video right and they think oh man more house got it made now right so it is important to outline that but but even more so for another story which hasn't made the rounds but it's certainly a conversation that I know you know the college wants to have and a lot of folks that love it dearly want to have so a letter was circulated recently that talked about faculty concern about furloughs financial issues certain staff layoffs support for cost living increases is that something that you can affirm came to your attention and if so what yeah what do you expect that the administrative response will be and how will the college and its leadership work with the faculty body to address some of these yeah here very there's a there there are a number of complexities whenever you start to talk about finances but I'll try to keep them to a few simple points if you look today at the landscape of higher education and liberal arts colleges that never moved in the direction of creating alternative streams of revenue to tuition the model of simply being a tuition driven college is under great pressure and we can look across the landscape of higher education and we see liberal arts colleges making major cuts and in some cases even losing their accreditation or going out of business so what we've done at more houses really look at our financial model and identified the fact that we are serving a population that has decreasing ability to pay the full sticker price of more houses education and their adjustments that we didn't make after the recession of 2008 that have gotten our cost structure out of equilibrium and so we're in the process of engaging in some cost reduction measures as well as some revenue raising measures and have decided that this year we really need to get that equilibrium in place and what that's meant is our having to impact salaries through furloughs and a reduction in our benefits and also some cost reduction measures we're also looking at a series of revenue raising measures that have to do with our facilities and greater utilization of them in ways that will bring revenue to the college we're looking at developing new programs that will attract new audiences, adult education, online certificates and ultimately what I hope will be degree programs that are targeting populations beyond just the bachelor's students who come in spend four years on the hilltop here at more house as well as intensifying the efforts around fundraising for general scholarships and dollars that help us that allow us to increase our capacity in areas like technology, infrastructure, etc. so we're engaging in a set of measures I think what the good news is for us in the approach we're taking or the positive is we're not laying off faculty the positions that we are going to eliminate are positions that we know that we can absorb they're not student facing positions so we've been very careful not to do what many institutions have done where you're doing across the board you know what I call the cheese slicer approach elimination of positions and then you eliminate critical positions that impact the quality of student life we're not doing that but we are taking a set of measures to create more financial equilibrium and we think doing that will help us put the college on a very positive fiscal trajectory we're not laying off faculty	{ "url":

UCmYAQDZIQGm_kPvemBc_qwg	Monitoring in Microservices	Presentation name: Monitoring in Microservices Speakers: Martin Curlej, Giulia Naponiello Description: This talk should be description about what we have done in Factory 2.0 team with regards to monitoring in our microservices and microservice pipelines. What challenges we faced, what technologies we used, what outcomes we achieved. Of course this should be also an introduction to monitoring solutions. [ https://sched.co/Jcja ]	[ "Red Hat", "DevConf", "monitoring", "microservices", "Factory" ]	2019-02-23T11:17:19	2024-02-05T07:30:25	1,502	zQ97_B-2JZU	Hello everyone, so my name is Martin and I'm a software engineer for Red Hat and I work for the Red Hat 2.0 team. Okay, and my name is Julia, I also work for the Red Hat 2.0 team. I'm a software engineer at Red Hat, can you hear me? Yes, okay. So the purpose of our project is to, let's say, automate and improve the release pipeline process in Fedora and internally in Red Hat. And the one that you see on the slides are the services that we develop and maintain, some of them the major at least. And we just want to explain a bit what our project is doing so that we can explain what we did in the last quarter for the monitoring to monitor those services so that you can maybe understand what we are talking about. Yes, please. Some of those microservices that we have are open source, they're also included in Fedora, but not all of them because we have some also internally. And so we can maybe say that the project is divided in two big branches and we decided to call them today the container release pipeline and the gating pipeline. So the first one is the container release pipeline. So when containers started to be big companies started to use them and wanted to incorporate them into their releases. So the same didn't also be. And this process pipeline is designed to rebuild containers when there is a CDE, which means a security pack found in some RPM. And then we need to find out which containers are affected and then rebuild them. So that's the main gist of it. So also not only to rebuild to start the process to rebuild them. That's mostly done by the first microsoft. But also to move those artifacts in our release pipeline. So create tickets for the QE teams, make sure that everything is tested and then move them to release. Yeah, this is just how you can see how it works. I won't go into details because we don't have time for that. It's just for that you can see to visualize how it looks like. So instead of the gating pipeline, we just call it this way. And it's the process to build and release RPMs in Fedora and internally in Red Hat. And so basically you just have many steps through the pipelines and you just want to have some tests between them. So you just want to be sure that your RPM or your software artifact can go from one step to the next one. And our services, the one that we implemented in factory, makes you sure that they can go to the next step. So it's like we call them gating. I just see I'm not sure it's actually true, but I just see it as a gate. So like if the gate is closed, it cannot go to the next step. And yeah, so all these services talk to each other through messages, so through a message bus. And when we started putting our services in production, this is the graphical representation. So at the bottom you see the pipeline and at the top there are our services. And when we started putting our services in production, we started noticing that messages were lost, like getting lost and maybe the cluster isn't working or the API is not working. And people are starting writing to us on IRC in the chat like, this is not working, do you know that? And we were like, no, like why? And what you have to do is like to connect to the cluster, check the logs and you don't know what is happening. You don't know when that started. So it's not nice if the user tells you that there's something wrong with your services. You should know that it's your service. And so we decided to put in place monitoring and to have some detection of the issues and also to know when that happened and why and to have more information to debug the problem. So in the end we noticed that what we were missing was what it's here. And we tried to find the best technologies that could be suitable for us and to cover all these cases. And we are going to explain now what we did. So, yeah, the first one was health check and metrics. So we were thinking what to use for that as, you know, if you've already done monitoring, there's like really a lot of solutions that you can use for that. Mostly what we thought was like, okay, so all our microservices are mostly containers and they are running on the OpenShift. So they were like, okay, so Prometheus was like really the best choice you could do. What are the benefits of Prometheus who were mostly that it's really easy to integrate with containers or microservices as the only thing that you need to do to get your metrics out of your application is just to add a new restful endpoint and just configure what statistics you want to extract from the applications. Prometheus stores all the metrics on the side of the applications are stored in memory and Prometheus uses the pool mechanic to get this data out of the microservices. Another thing was that it's like really good friends with Kubernetes or OpenShift. You can have like several exporters which are designed to not only monitor your applications but also monitor the insights of your Kubernetes cluster or your OpenShift cluster. Yeah, another thing Prometheus has so-called exporters which are additional microservices which you can do like a middleman between your microservice and your Prometheus instance where you can connect to your container and get additional metrics like MySQL, database metrics, system metrics, storage metrics, a lot of stuff. Everything already exists. Mostly it's quite fast written as well. And also Prometheus has a lot of client libraries written I think in 10 languages already. So the next part was okay so we need at least to know to have some information about our works. So for that we use an Elk stack but to tell you the truth I will just go really quickly through this because right now we are just using the Elk stack for the two of our services. So it's not much. Most of the aggregates there are a lot and looking for aspects mostly. So what's Elk? Elk is an acronym of three OpenSource projects and that's Elasticsearch, Elasticsearch and Kibana. Elasticsearch is a search engine where you can just put your data like logs and then just search through them through different statistical functions and I don't know what more. Logstash is a data pipeline where you can add multiple sources and it will just crunch and store your data and Kibana is for persuasion. We noticed that after those two technologies we still didn't have completely what we wanted. So mostly we have a lot of services that talk through messages and we didn't have a way to find out if the messages was working like if messages were sent and received in a proper way. So we have the message bus and we didn't know how to check that. We couldn't do that with Prometheus or maybe you can see if your consumer is up but you don't see if the messages are going and if they are correct. So we decided to implement a couple of E2E checks. We called them this way and we're just going to explain. The first one is about the pipeline that I showed you before and we are just trying to send a message on the message bus with... Yeah, it's a Jenkins job and that tries to do many steps and like the most important one is emitting these messages and so these messages are fake data but we are realistic ones so actually they are about some fake package and we try to send the message and see if after this message we have what we expect. So for example I emit a message about a new result about a test and I expect to see this test in the database in my software after this message and I check this tab. I don't have the item or I don't see the message in the message bus there's something wrong. The good thing of this is that you have all the stages separate so I can see exactly where the problem is. This is checking several software so I immediately see which one is not working and this runs every 10 minutes and it sends an email if the job fails and maybe the bad thing about it downside is but I think this is like in every technology this is developed with Jenkins it runs in Jenkins so if Jenkins has a bug we cannot avoid that like for example sometimes we get an alert that it's not true just because Jenkins wasn't able to pull the code for the test so we get an alert on that but that's not a true alert and there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe I will just add that when we are running this Jenkins job and sending the data this is done on production. Yes. On a stage or there. Yeah so you see an alert from production you actually get worried and it's nothing so it's not nice. So this is the second one E2E monitoring or I call it E2E probe this is like more or less still a work in progress but the main idea of this was that like when we have the segment test we are sending artificial data to our measurements and we see how it behaves but I was thinking like maybe we could just like use the data that really flows through a pipeline so the main idea was to write reusable test playbooks test or playbooks and monitoring solutions with Ansible and then just schedule them in a right way to execute on your pipeline when they are triggered by some message so for example as already Julia said we have a new test result this test result will come in and the test result is published on a message queue and will tell us like here we go here's a new message so this will trigger my schedule which will then run the Ansible playbooks in a configured way and will wait on other evidence that will appear in our pipeline and then you can check every point in your pipeline and see if it's working or not with the real data Another benefit what I found out is that when you write playbooks you want to describe your pipeline or your process in your pipeline by an Ansible playbook you find out if your pipeline is too complicated because if it's hard to write then it's mainly not a good idea for example I found out that some of the configuration that we have is hardcoded in the code so when I wanted to replicate it I found out that it's hardcoded in the code so I had to look into the code I think there is an initiative to move this configuration to a normal level file or something where you can like easily see what it is The downside of this is that it's written in Go it started as a Prometheus X partner the downside of this is that it's not really good if you have a lot of high volume queues with all the messages because then the application will not be able to follow up with that so that's maybe the downside for that but what I tested is like 30 to 50 messages per second are still fine Here we have some links to the services that are open source and you can find them in Fedora like GreenLady and FreshMaker I would say they are both the biggest services in their respective pipelines and of course you have also some links to Prometheus and actually today we just explained the open source solutions that we decided to use we also used another one but we're not going to talk about it because it's not nice to use non-opensure stuff don't use non-opensure stuff This is the easiest way for containers to get monitoring up and running I would like to mention that some other team helped us with that and they are having a talk later at 12.30 about holistic monitoring and more SLI, SLO so if you're interested just go there I think that's... I have a question When you look at the example with like this thing, the room messages and it's not something that you trigger by some timer Yeah, like in Jenkins you have the cron thing and you can set it up like, it's like a normal cron type And the job is in every... every 10 minutes, actually I think I changed that maybe it's 15 now because we had the issue that like sometimes the messages take some time to be delivered like sometimes there's some lag and like it took maybe one minute and we just put some retry some more retry and so sometimes it can take a lot of time to run the job Also, that's like... we have a problem with prototypes that in OpenShift you have... if you have multiple pods for one application they are behind the proxy so the problem was that you have multiple replicas and you wanted to recheck like the metrics from all the replicas but then you have a load balance and which is like then there was a problem that we didn't know which one it was OpenShift locally inside its namespace when you have a new project it has its own namespace and it has its own local network every project in OpenShift that's the same in Kubernetes so we were thinking how to like resolve that so in the end we went with a solution that we just make the project where the Prometheus instance was running to be able to see into others local networks like to order other projects in our cluster Of course, when you are just deploying Prometheus you don't need to have admin rights but if you want to do this you have to have admin rights in your cluster so that's the little downside but there is another solution but it's not so good it's a worse I would say is that you can, Prometheus uses the pool model so it always takes the data so you could just do the opposite and you just, the pods could push the data but then you don't know if one of the pods would go down so that's like just one thing that we have problems with Yeah, whatever Yeah Yeah, maybe So, the pipeline starts from left to right so when Anarata 2 has like a fixed CD it will send a message and then you go to the other microservice FreshMaker will listen for messages from Anarata 2 it will, if the correct message from FreshMaker will start on containers that he knows which should be built and the idea of the E2E Pro was that Okay, so I have an exporter which is listening to the UMB and trigger for the whole check will be a message from Anarata 2 so when a message from Anarata 2 will be available the scheduler will listen to it it will identify the correct message that he wants and then he will start, he will just take the configuration that he has and there are several Ansible playbooks configured and for different points, like this is the first point this is the entry point, this is the trigger the second point is did FreshMaker start the rebuild according to this message so there is a playbook which will always repeatedly query the rest API of FreshMaker and it will listen, this is the idea of the message did FreshMaker start the rebuild according to this message if yes, of course there is a timeout so you can configure that and yeah, if it will start and it will be successful it will wait for that, then that's fine and it will go to another point the point, another point of this is that when FreshMaker finishes the rebuild it will send another message to the UMB to the message queue so I'm checking for that message another listener will listen to that the listeners for messages like this they listen to some queue when the message comes the message will be taken and input like it will be injected into a playbook and the playbook will just evaluate it yeah, why I used Ansible is that I didn't want to write it in some normal language because Ansible is standardized so it's not easy every time but at least I have like and another thing when you use Ansible is that you can use Ansible and just write without anything just write it and you will just check your pipeline and you will see if it's okay or not you don't have to use the same schedule or anything yeah and so on and so on it will repeat itself all the time and of course when the whole thing will go down successfully you will have a record all the logs, all the messages will be saved if it will fail or the time it will go out then it will fail and it will also have the record I will stop at the point the problem was that I had a lot of work so I wanted to get it out before this talk but... yeah this message bus, what do you use? it's like an internal name in Red Hat this is like a normal message queue like 0MQ or IMQ ActiveMQ well sorry, yeah, ActiveMQ in Red Hat we have ActiveMQ and I think in Fedora it was 0 yeah is it okay? it was not a short one but I was going to say if you wanted to talk a little bit about how the second test works what it stands for what it triggers and then what it works for yeah I can try in one minute so it's checking green wave results the driver, dv, data grabber and the message bus at the same time so in the first step it checks if green wave is like okay if the API is working and the data are consistent then it emits a message on the message bus about the new result and then I expect to see I query the results to the API to see if the result is there then I check if green wave saw that new result that was passing so green wave will now say all your tests are satisfied and then I just create a new result but this time it's failing and so that will trigger again green wave saying now your tests are not satisfied so you cannot go to the next step and then I create a waiver that ignores the previous failing test and green wave now should wake up again and say okay now everything is fine again so you can go to the next step and that's it is it good?	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ97_B-2JZU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC8FZ6dzFVkCACLH9YoMNFog	Chemical Conversion of Plastic Waste into Fuel	The United Nations estimate that more than 8 million tons of plastics flow into the oceans each year. A new chemical conversion process could transform the world’s polyolefin waste, a form of plastic, into useful products, such as clean fuels and other items. “Our strategy is to create a driving force for recycling by converting polyolefin waste into a wide range of valuable products, including polymers, naphtha (a mixture of hydrocarbons), or clean fuels,” said Linda Wang, the Maxine Spencer Nichols Professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, leads the research team developing this technology, along with research associates Kai Jin, a graduate student, and Wan-Ting (Grace) Chen, a postdoctoral researcher.

The problem is that only a small percentage is really recycled and reused. This exponential growth and accumulation is very bad for the environment, especially the waste in the oceans. We'll have more plastic waste than fish by 2050. So once the waste gets into oceans, it's irreversible, because the cost of cleaning the ocean is enormous. It's called hydrothermal liquefaction. The polymers will sort of melt in the high temperature and dissolve in the supercritical water. And then in this state, they can convert into oil or monomers or gas. It's a very versatile, powerful technique. If we can convert this into valuable use for products, that will create a driving force to reduce the plastic waste accumulation and also reduce associated risk to the environment.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqRbc_0SaVs", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

These comes after will be in a press conference on Wednesday challenged President Bola Tinumbu to reveal his true identity to Nigerians. A missed is that is Bola Tinumbu certificate saga from the Chicago State University. A rabbi said that when will be filled the EC9 form. He wrote that he attended the University of Nigeria on Suka and that he also finished his youth service but unfortunately he only submitted his school certificate in the final submission of the form. Joining us to dive deeper into the conversation is Dr. Abiyomi Arabambi National Publicity Secretary Labour Party. Good to have you as a guest today come with Arabambi. Good afternoon Nigeria thank you plus TV for giving me this opportunity to set the record straight on the issues regarding Mr. Pitalbi. One can only start by asking you do you really believe in the Labour Party and the Labour ideology and the reason why I'm asking that question is it does seem to some and some indeed you know running the whispering campaign that you and some other elements may just be fifth columnist in the party. I would want to respond to that. Thank you very much they said EU must come to equity must come they claim that we must not say because we have a white thief and we have a black thief one matter is a thief is a thief Labour Party is not like any other political party and let me tell you for the fact that this is my 15 year in Labour Party somebody will not just you know most of the nomad politicians who will keep putting for one political party to the other coming to Labour Party to think they can have a few days you know with their 50 rap for where they were coming from it is not a question of any fifth columnist when you come to Labour Party and you committed a crime we don't tell them that go and see no more we have to take the boob by the hand I've just been able to expose what happened in Labour Party nobody should present it as a talk to Nigeria when in fact you know it's a black sheep so it is just setting the record straight we are you know the party not Pitalbi Pitalbi started in Afga nobody asked him why he left Afga Pitalbi was a PDP nobody bothered to ask why was why was a PDP he was a man who did a conduct election for for 80 years why he was Labour I mean a governor of Afga under the platform of Afga so he wouldn't just come with some negative rhetoric and the thing every Nigeria can be bam boost you know by such false narrative he met us in Labour Party we accepted him but we never knew we asked such you know like a baggage on his neck which are we have come to the public to explore so there are not like a question of fifth columnist the right place to interject now will be if you people the aboriginals in the Labour Party those of you who must have know who must have started the party or joined the party earlier enough as a result of ideological conviction if you people are puritanical to the ideology of the party why did you accept somebody who just flipped from another party and was using it was obvious that he was going to use a party as a as a park and ride party a party of convenience why did you people play along when you want to get married two individual are raised by their parents the little you know about us yourself you go to the altar but end of the day some people will try to manage the marriage some will say oh if it was able differences some will tell you we just want to separate some will offer after i mean the after diverse you don't blame either parties it was because it was when they come together that they got to know each other very well that the analogy that will give you why we accepted okay okay using progressing with your analogy one would then suppose that at this at this point our maturity and strategic good of the party should ordinarily have instructed a more conciliatory methodology of resolving whatever may be the differences apart from this um brick baths and the washing of dirty linen in public why would you respond to that hello doc are you there i'm with you i'm with you okay it's raining abuja that's why it's raining abuja okay did you did you hear my last uh yeah you said we are watching our dirty land in public why can't we explore alternative this resolution or maybe i'm not conciliatory methodologies of resolving whatever may be the differences between the factions now i now thank you very much ever in labor party we have not witnessed issue of forgery in our party on the way bitabi you know came on board the issue did not commence today it only commences from the day he tried to unambualize and immunize labor party where you are making you are making serious allegations unambualize would be he was trying to exercise exercise the party i said he's trying to unambualize and immunize our party i get it me and what did he do in the cabecas where the cabecas was for the nwc be you know kick against it because you have other than doctor the equipment that was a digi every other person they were from imu and anambra and we told him this is not this is not represent a true character better character where you have to spread but you know he said oh you could understand those people very well imagine want to run a presidential campaign you are putting imu as coordinator the shokoto say coordinator you are putting imu man as coordinator in san fara in in kanu and this were won led to the exodus of our candidate governorship as a president they couldn't take such nonsense from us and they pulled out they pulled out they obviously were in the public space because we took him head on that you can go and put in anambra person because it's a trader like you you ask him to the coordinating labor party in imu shokoto come be san fara it's not a bitch who's gonna take that but uh don't care about me you you cannot get say or contradict the fact that it was when he came to the party that he gave some whom a bit of energy and traction to the party so if he decided to use those you could work with because ultimately was the one that the brought the brought activities into the party why would you want to them be saying alleging emphasizing and umbralization and imu imuization so who brought who brought uh life into apc who brought life into pdp who brought life into nmp so it's also be different why don't kakuan so go to goseta make an outside man is taking with the coordinator for campaign why don't you know who goes to anambra and make a rubber man coordinator come to uh uh what you call it come to legos and make an outside man coordinator man let's just be very very realistic what light did he brought into the party let me be very frank with you we run that campaign on the fraudulent activities none of our agents were paid there was no money relief for the election just like professor shasulu to say he won us that we are taking in the man who is a trader who is coming on a plough of go and go go eat a professor shasulu to come in about it will be that he will use their party to line his pocket and then on the day he came to fall because in the election petition you knew what the judgment was we were told point blank that the way a fraudulent judges to run into market and be fetching evidences are you aware that in that position we did not front load any from eca the the polyunit result do you know we didn't i mean we didn't follow anyone with the petition they came afterward and what happened was that we budgeted 10 10 000 for two polyunited jay across the 185 000 they stole the money they didn't pay any jay even what you've been under making noise they did not release their result this was why he wrote for the search virtue copy of some result from inek and instead of that gave him below 18 000 how do you blame my inek for your failure because when in the evidence art you must have something to show for a fake or original and you now contacted that one as a fake original we didn't have any result imagine that is pure political rascality we did not submit any result in the agent the damage in the the witnesses you knew the court through a wait ten out of our witnesses they only have been there three out of the starting did you see any polyunited jay whether our supervisors whether okay okay dr abambi dr abambi because the direction you are going is a prema fascist of judici i won't want us to go on that track let's stay on the political side of things now dr abambi before i move to the allegation of impersonation or or for jui as as it is before i move into that i need to ask you a direct and straight question can you and one hand on your chest and one hand rest to your god say you are not being used by an external factor to disrupt the activities of labor party i plan to get out to be faithful and to be very honest you can see my hand on my chest okay i said i am telling you for fact okay that we run that allegation with the mission to fail see i am not just a baby politician i said we went to a lecture without polyunited jet my for god sake who is going to give on the resort the alert is very simple you must prove any form of regularity with someone who was present with someone who was present at that polyunit but we went on political expedition you know with the cult of api and our matter was disgrace we were disgrace in that court okay okay dr dr abambi if it was bad enough that you people came out of the election in a very discordant very disagreeable state the new law now is this allegation about a faking or certificate could could you put it in context i don't really want to be presumptuous in my understanding of what maybe the message you have around the issues of the of his name the inconsistency is the name on some our documents you now claim you have well you are now you need to give me time on this please i give it to go into the labor party i was another public secretary the chairman directed the then chairman directed we supervise the the the form to make sure it's okay because we only have 24 hours to the last day of submission of presidential candidate then it will not only occupy you know within when the king so when we did that he wrote in the form is in a that is a particular sort of candidate that attended the university of mejeda isoka you know as a second is cool yeah but it is also so and for but because we were rushing from asaba to abuja that it was for me before that was a last day are you asking as lazy the well you know what about that document are you feeling is it no you get them across because you were rushing you know you have to leave pdp then that was all it was me over time we asking who elektron is coming can we be able to do fornish and let me do without the duty then we never knew he asked let him discover but as time goes on you know during our campaign information stop featuring when we go to the east to campaign especially when the i mean the presidential should do at money job that that guy is not real we thought you know he was joking on the issues that now surrounded our nomination of candidate and i will very clear with you in the burning in those days some things upon that we have never witnessed in our life the candidate that the primary before we became when we became it was interested in putting these people there but rather for them to meet the candidate that were there in line with the letter at who asked to write letter of widower one then abuja widower two the letter would be written to the national chairman of the party that i want to withdraw which is allowed in electoral law then the abuja widower you will now go to a court with the commentator for you not do both and abuja widower truly you are the one that is withdrawing for the incoming candidate but what did we see they didn't tell us anything when they now publish is the last name the name of you know of the finalists of candidate we found that some of our candidate have been removed the end that was when this issue began we call it everything we put out be we were shocked he said no worry we should not worry we should not worry he's about to win our competition the rest of you want to win the election and the people say no we don't need your compensation you have your family we have our family we paid for this for you didn't you are not the one that paid for this for for all we want to know who changed our name when they were not coming with the favorable answer we now pose there to i next and then i'll give us what is submitted to change the name we now found that there was an abuja widower in the court we wrote to the court the court now replied that those documents were forged by abuja and the national secretary there so in the process of getting to know all this when we now found that the document was forged and we had the certified copy of the forth document from the court one abuja we presented to the police we wrote the petition and poli did a forensic audit when this order now came out that was when Peter Lee came on board we told him but to our surprise which i said in detail in my press conference he said we should leave it on the when we are won an election this was where we now began to suspect this man we should leave someone that forged the seal of the court 23 in FCT that red seal the manufacture their own the commissioner for oath signature and stamp the manufacture their own then the treasury single account the generated receipt for themselves you can see how people are criminally minded and they submitted this to inek another now thought it was original on the way the court confirmed and by that we have fulfilled the law regarding evidence art because when you want to confirm for you you have to put the one to the original so we said the one this sent to an egg and court now confirmed back toward that the one the submitted to an egg was forged it was not from them and that was the departure point between us beta b since that day beta b now because of this as he said for most he now move towards the fogear and we now present to FCT icon as it i call restraint aburi a lot i love this after no i'm coming let me give it a grand three days after when aburi will restrain do you know the all of them put it in the safe to asaba for a put it in a committee where they now say oh they have a status of us that is for the fogear and obvious to pretend death over the enmity nobody nobody within we we now cubis besides the character in the open glare of television in now since sat there they oh and apapa you are dismissed this one you are spared because we said no we don't want to do for since that time we kept it at arm length until when this is yours after the fogear came about so because i was involved in the in the feeling of his form i got in me and now began to rape curiosity and let me tell you something today that he doesn't know i was desperate to know beta b through the wife of that his brother but he didn't know because they didn't show me to him then when we are trying to bring him to labor pattern when i when i know that woman so it was enough process that we got to know when he now said in his press conference that his father gave him beta obi as his bad name i knew he was lying he was only won't be able to name that was why i now came out to say oh what we know about you let's open it to the public for and let me tell you the question that i asked him that in his press conference today it is not answer i asked him his bad certificate he should give what you're reading now not a swan avidavit because i know he will not receive peter gregory uh oh what was he i mean obi peter gregory obi that was not the name that please say name i demanded for the bad certificate i demanded for his primary school certificate obi just is the two for god's sake i mean the school is very fresh now he can he can get it i demanded the second new school he uses you understand has a name that was different for me back for the king because as young as obi is his parents must have been the one that would take him to elementary school his parents must have been the one that would take him to secondary school so how money so he ran he ran him up dr alabambi what are you specifically alleging here we are alleging that peter obi result was not his own the result is using belong to his dead brother and he accepted that in his press conference of today i will send it to you in the best of the in the in the in the press conference today he claimed to the processing you know for their own group there he claimed that he had an immediate brother who is dead but they attended in bachelome naked and so that the man study computer science is study philosophy and so they ever tell anybody that he has a brother that certain says it's what the result of that man that he was using because the man is dead but today i am glad that of all he only considered one fact that he has a brother who is dead he had a brother or he has a brother he had a brother a brother that is dead truly he confirmed i'm going to send you the i'm going to send you the back page you know of their we're really we're really accepted he accepted that they both attended in bachelome naked which i said he was using the subject of that man because if you look at it very well the sequence of obi name have changed and my dear brother i want to ask you a question when you are to be mobilized for for nyc who says your name to the nyc isn't you or the school after you must have been cleared by the library after you must be cleared by the by by the policy department that you are not going and you know the student uh uh the student of the department the student of the department everybody must have cleared you who says your name for mobilization it is the university of polytechnic but you can see that the name is university is different from the name in okay we we have to again and let me tell you why the difference that was the time the man was arrested he you he started the aniquita and the time we really have to go we really have to go uh comrade time is time is very unfair at this at this no at times like this i'm really really very pained you know quite enjoying your your you know the way you are putting your case but unfortunately we have to go thank you very much thank you so so much for this privilege uh still only the cripple still only discrepancies with the names written on the certificates of the labor party's presidential candidate peter obi a spokesman for the party's presidential campaign council union sir tanko has shared a different view tanko challenged rabbi to show the proof of his allegation against to be unlabeled the rabbi's move has a mischievous accusation joining me to strike a balance in our office is nana sanny kazawre spokesperson obi dati presidential campaign council nana is a pleasure having you on our set virtually today thank you good evening thank you for having me feeling that you are who's listening to us virtually we really have to ask you was there any press conference by your presidential candidate today and did he specifically accept the fact that he had a brother who passed on who went to the same schools with him was that true i'm not aware that he had a presidential uh oh sorry i'm not aware that he had a conference but i am aware that yes he he he's spoken very plainly about his brother who was in school with him you know arab ambi made a comment and first and foremost what we should look at is arab ambi's timing it's clear that he's you know doing somebody else's bidding and running around like well well want of a better word they had less chicken and i'm it's quite worrying that a man like pito b lives rent free in arab ambi's head it might be quite it must be quite traumatizing for dr arab ambi that said to answer your question i'm not aware that he had a press conference today but i do know that he has explained to us quite extensively his brother his eldest brother is alive arab ambi's um outburst you know which as far as i'm concerned you know is a misadventure and an exercise in futility arab ambi's outburst was that he's he's using his eldest brother's documentation pito his eldest brother is alive and well and kicking he's not dead yes he does have a brother who was deceased and that brother read went to the same university as he did u n n and he read computer science pito b has never come out to say that he read computer science he read philosophy and that's where he got his bachelor's degree and that's what he has always maintained i do not know how arab ambi can claim that he used his brother his late brother's certificate nana nana he does seem that the very the very kind of allegation of obscurantism of opacity that you people seem to be throwing at one of your opponents is what seems to be building do we still have nana with us i can hear you but i do not know why it has gone off yes i hope you've not touched any okay now you're back now your beautiful face now graces the screen okay nana i'm just looking at it all over again given given the nature of the fervor with which majority of your digitally literate members or supporters seem to be pointing accusing fingers at the other candidates the opponents of your principal it does seem now that pito b may not be any dint better than the two other candidates when it comes to the consistency transparency lucidity of of their backgrounds it's just like the category calling the pot black i would respond to that no no no no no i think you're quite wrong to say that he has always been peter greggory um um boasi ob he did tell us during his press conference he explained to us that his father named him um boasi that that means i cannot die and then because he's of the catholic faith when he did his confirmation and it was time for him you know there's there's a whole thing that they do in the catholic church his back to his his um the name given to him by the catholic church is where greggory comes in there's been no discrepancy in who he is i do not think peter excuse me please excuse me please i do not think a man like pito obi if we asked him to reintroduce himself would have any problem doing so we know who his schoolmates are we know who his classmates are we know where he comes from we know who his parents are there's there's there's a trajectory the man has traction there are people who sat in the same classroom as as he did there are people who sat in the same school environment as he did so i don't know my arabic like i said it must be very difficult and i do extend my sympathies to a man like dr arabic seems eloquent and but it's it must be quite difficult for bgm and pito obi to live rent free in his head okay it must be quite traumatic and there's something that senaka said you know a philosopher he said and i paraphrase we seem to you know as human beings it's a lot easier for people to put figments of their imagination it's it we we we bring figments of our imagination and walk away from reality the reality of the fact is arab and b is going around and i do i i i would i say this is all sincerity and all respect to media but i wonder why he's even being given any airway okay let me let me give you one of the reasons let me give you one one of the reasons why the media may be giving him some degree of credence than you think it deserves now if peter obi is catholic the catholic church we're not christian him twice so i wonder where peter where he got peter from and where he got gregory from because if he was christian if he was christian in the church ordinarily they will give him one christian name so how come peter is now playing against gregory he didn't he didn't think there's any ambiguity in that he has explained it when he got to a certain age and it was time for his confirmation he was given the name gregory i think you would have to ask somebody who's of the christian faith to answer that question for you better i'm not from the christian faith so it's difficult and i'm not catholic so it would be difficult for me to really shed a lot of light on that but i've explained it and we understand we are africans excuse me please you asked me a question allow me to finish thank you we are africans and we do know that a lot of the time our parents give us names neighbors give us names you know and then even religiously names come up over the span of our lives it doesn't mean that we are not the same person that we were even if for example even if he added those names to his name and um there's nothing in the nigerian constitution once you are an adult that stops you from being able to change your names for as many times as you need to as long as you are not a fraud a thief a murderer i see no reason why it should it should even be such an issue the man is who he says he is and we can verify that it's not okay anything okay nana you you've been quite articulate about and i'm very very pungent in the way you're making your point but let's move beyond even the seeming inconsistencies in the name of of your principal or the allegations of of inconsistencies in the names on certificates that that the likes of whatever i'm making how would you ask me can i can i explain something briefly i'm sorry if i cut you short please i apologize no no go ahead go ahead i'm very thankful that we have a body like the national identity you understand because a lot of us have taken for granted how our name should feature you understand if i i had to really go and do a rectification because what was on my passport and i'm still the same person was not the way it featured in one of my documents and i needed to submit it to the to to the back i needed to submit it to arm for pension and so the names i'm still the same person things affected the way it came out in my passport and so it had to be redone so it's not a big deal and thank god there are institutions in Nigeria that help us rectify let's move to some other one or two other issues that don't be okay um they are also claiming the the other side or the other faction of your party they are also claiming allegations of making allegations of forgery against your your factions a chairperson that he forged the the signature of somebody who supposedly said he was not it was no longer going to contest how would you respond to that my response is very simple and i will just the supreme court said it all these people aren't our members these people should you know the supreme court threw away all their charges against our chairperson against the um the whole labor party and they they they're just i don't want them call them names because one thing i do know is that there's always room for reconciliation if if i i believe that if pete obi was the person sitting down here right here and now he would even call for them to say you know what let's be reconciliatory let's go back to the drawing board and if they have any rather than come out with all these nonsense and like i said misadventurous um ventures and vitriol against the party and pete obi why don't you just come to the table if you have questions ask the necessary questions to the right people and you'll get an answer but running around all every time and trying to cause problem doesn't speak well to the person of dr arabambi he seems to be a very eloquent man he seems to be a very passionate man it's something that you have to admire about him but at the point where you know you you he goes against the rule of law what the supreme court has already ruled against the matter then he gives me pause for concern about the kind of person somebody somebody somebody as intelligent as you should also be telling your principal maybe it's about time he sued for libel if he believes that oh my lord is making fun of me may god forgive you what do you think because some of these allegations are libelous and different mr bola you are absolutely right perhaps that's what i would do perhaps that's what you would do perhaps that's what every other nigerian would do but pete obi has shown us time and time again that he's just a cut above the rest the man is a man of peace the man isn't you know he's he's he's not wired that way i've said it before let's look at the position of peace i think i like the i think i like that we live it at this position of peace amity peace amity even the way he carries himself the money i've said it before i said it once i said to the person i said he is so agreeable that people think him is simpleton he will tell you he's the first person to tell you i'm not a saint he's the first person that will tell you you know when people say things to him is not that he doesn't have the answer but he has trained himself over and over again to just sit back bite his tongue and try and see where the person is coming from try to see the other side so like you said you'd prefer to agree he's just a man of peace he's somebody who always just cares about how you are how the other person is doing and that's because i have a personal relationship with him a working relationship before they now say something else in the media because there's a personal working relationship with this individual i like to call him his excellence pito he's just a man of peace he's just a man that he's very reconciliatory if you will look at his the way he works when people insult him he'll come you say my elder brother the person is my brother he'll say i'm a trader you're a professor continue from where i stop he's not one to jump into the fray please and i'm begging please we really have to go now thank you thank you very much thank you so much thank you thank you i appreciate having this conversation thank you very much now go in it sure do appreciate you too thank you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLXkJhkgQY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution -

Welcome to the shadowy borderland of the squeaking door, all you hearty adventurers, into the land of the grisly, ghastly, gruesome, horrid, shocking and monstrous. I mean Inner Sanctum. Of course, I assume that we're all old friends here, but if by any chance there's a stranger among us, perhaps I should state the purpose for which we are here to assemble. Our object is to make your spine tingle and your hair stand on end. That's right. When we're through you'll discover that a fiend indeed is a fiend indeed. Heavens, you stop talking so scary or folks will tune us off their radios. Oh Mary, I'm just trying to scare them into the chill so they'll have to drink Lipton Tee. Well that isn't necessary at all. For a great many years people have been enjoying Lipton Tee without any persuasion from you. That famous Lipton flavor has won the praise of tea experts all over the world. And you know folks, these experts describe the Lipton flavor by saying that it's brisk, B-R-I-S-K. Now brisk means that Lipton Tee always tastes fresh and full-bodied. Yes, tangy and vigorous. Never flatter, wishy-washy. That's why I always say you don't know how good tea can be till you know how good Lipton's is. And now friends, let's go from tea to terror. Yes, the title of tonight's story is Terror by Night. It's an original radio play by Amel Tepperman. Tell me, have you ever been alone with fear? Alone in the night and frightened? Well here's Anne Shepherd and the role of Linda Dixon to tell us what happened to her. It was a Friday night and I think I was already a little nervous as I drove north into the mountains. It was the first day of my vacation. I started from the city early enough to arrive before nightfall. But my car was six years old and it developed motor trouble. So now I was driving through the night with 50 miles more to go. And I was tired and nervous and irritated. And then I heard that siren in the distance. First I couldn't place it. And then I remembered the state prison was somewhere in the vicinity. A siren? That meant, that meant a prisoner has escaped. I reached over and turned on the radio. They were broadcasting an alarm. I repeat motorists are warned to be on the lookout for Lee Hartley who escaped from the death cell at state prison at 9.15 p.m. He is five foot ten, dark haired, regular features, no distinguishing marks. Hartley is a confirmed killer. He is believed to be armed. He would rather kill than eat. He would rather kill than eat. And that man was loose. I stared ahead at the lonely road spinning toward me through the windshield. It has been established that Hartley was helped to escape from the outside by his sweetheart, Helen Hearn, a red-headed woman just as vicious as Hartley himself. It is thought that Hartley and the Hearn woman may have separated after the escape. All motorists are warned to beware of a dark haired man and a red-haired woman, alone or together. My hand was shaking a little as I turned off the radio. I looked in the car mirror and shivered. I, too, have red hair. A storm coming up and I was driving into it. The night was black and I felt small and lonely and frightened in the car. Then I saw in the mirror the headlight sweeping up behind me a car. It had come out of nowhere. It was pulling alongside, cutting me off. The car was behind the wheel and then watched the door of that other car open. A man stepped out. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was a state trooper. You guys are going to load me? Yes, officer. I'm sorry if I scared you. We're stopping all cars. Where are you heading for, miss? I'm going up to Seven Lakes Hotel. That's near car stairs. You see, I started out late from the city and I'm having motor trouble. Yeah, sure. Can I see your driver's license, please? Oh, here's my driver's license course. Here, I've got it somewhere in my purse. I seem to be your fingers that escaped prisoner Hartley. How'd you know about him? Oh, well, I heard the prison siren. Then it came over the radio about Hartley and his red-haired girlfriend. See, you've got red hair, too. You don't think I'm that woman. You find that license yet? I'm sure it's in here. So many... Oh, here I've got it. Here's my license. Thanks. What time did you say you left the city? About five o'clock. It took you a long time to get this far. Well, I told you I had motor trouble. Oh, I'm sure you did. Okay, Miss Dixon, here's your license. You can go ahead. Thank you. Oh, darn. There it goes again. Or motor trouble. No, it's the same thing. The mechanic said it might happen. There it started. You want to get that fixed first chance you get? Yeah, it's late, so all the service stations are closed. There's one that's open all night, about two miles up the road. You better stop there. Bill Slater's place. He's a good mechanic. Yeah. You'll fix you up. Tell him Joe Nesbitt sent you. Oh, thanks. I will. Listen, Miss Dixon. Yeah. You be careful. Don't stop to give anyone a lift, man nor woman. Don't worry. I won't. The night closed in on me again, but I didn't feel quite so nervous knowing that the trooper was somewhere behind me on the road. And Bill Slater's service station ahead. In a few minutes I saw the lights on the service station. I swung into the open space in front of the pumps. I stopped. There was a rumbling of thunder and the worst storm was moving up fast. There was another car, a coupé parked at the pump. But there wasn't anybody in it. And I didn't see any attendant around either. I pressed the horn button. No one answered. No one came out of the office. No response. Everything seemed so quiet. Suddenly ominous. I found myself shivering. I had a curious feeling that someone was watching me. I've got to get away from here fast. It started when I worked. It started. No, it started. The wrong time I sat behind the wheel. Listening. I found the footsteps. Stealing up behind the car. There were none. Then I could bear it no longer. I had to get out of the car. I had to see what was in that office. I opened the door of the car and stepped down on the gravel. Anybody in there? No answer. I clenched my fists and stepped inside. There on the floor at my feet. May the body of a man. His mechanics jumper was stained red with blood. And his throat was cut from ear to ear. How long I stood there I'll never know. I was petrified. Unable to move. Unable to take my eyes from the bloody body. Someone coming downstairs. He must have been hiding somewhere upstairs. I've got to get away outside. I won't run. That other car, a coupe, I could jump into that. Yes. If I could reach that coupe before he comes down. Anything wrong? Too late. Anything I can do for you, sister? Uh, yes. It's my car. It won't start. I thought someone here might help me. Sorry. There doesn't seem to be anybody around. It's my coupe over there. I stopped for gas and no one came out. So I went in and looked around. Did you find anyone? There isn't a living soul in there. Oh. You look kind of tired. Oh, no. I'm all right. My name is Taylor. John Taylor. I'm Linda Dixon. Linda Dixon. Glad to know you. What are you traveling for tonight? Well, I'm going to car stairs. Uh, seven nights hotel. They're expecting me. Now, what do you know about that? What? Car stairs is the town I'm heading for, too. Isn't that a coincidence? Yes. I'm sure it is. Your car won't run. Tell you what, we'll put your baggage in my car and I'll give you a lift to car stairs. You can send for your car in the morning. I'll have your bag switched in a jiffy. Please, no, I would rather not. We are all switched. Ah, come on. Get in here. He took my arm and helped me into the coupé. His hand was strong. His grip was hard. It hurt me. There you are. Snug as a bug in a rug. We drove away into the night. Leaving behind us the dead man in the service station. From where we sit, it looks as if pretty Linda Dixon has gotten herself into an awful jam. And believe me, she's shaking like jelly. My goodness, that poor girl. And just think this is supposed to be her vacation. Why, Mary, she's in the country now, isn't she? In fact, it looks to me like she's going back to the soil. Horizontally. Oh, dear. Why do you always look on the dark side of things? Seems to me you're always pessimistic. Of course, lots of folks feel that way at times, like when they've been working too hard and they're tired. But you know, I think there's nothing better for that let down feeling than a good hot cup of Lipton's. The tea with the brisk flavor. That brisk flavor really perks you up. You see, that word brisk, B-R-I-S-K, is just another way of saying that Lipton tea tastes full-bodied and vigorous. Yes, tangy and spirited. Never flatter, wishy-washy. So try Lipton's real soon, won't you folks? Well now, let's go back and see how pretty little Linda Dixon is making out. All alone in the car with a strange man. But after all, she shouldn't be too scared of him. He's just a felon who needs a friend. The storm broke a few minutes after we left that service station. We drove through sheets of rain. I sat stiff and tense beside the man who called himself John Taylor. He had both hands on the wheel. And he stared out through the windshield. My eyes focused on something on his right hand. It was a stain, a small stain. But it was wet. And red. I couldn't take my eyes off it. What are you looking at? What? Oh, nothing. Nothing tall. Hmm. Think I'll turn on the radio. Did you know there's been a jailbreak? I live five foot ten, very dark hair. Don't be fooled by his pleasant manner. He is a killer by instinct. Killer by instinct. He is absolutely... I looked at the man beside me. Helen Hearn is a clever and dangerous woman. Five foot three, red hair, very pretty. I caught Taylor looking at me out of the corner of his eye. What are you looking at? Had your hair. It's red. The street of lightning. And looking out of the rain swept window. I glimpsed the signpost. The lightning illuminated the sign. And my heart skipped a beat of what I saw. That sign we just passed. What about it? Well, it, it, uh, said curhawks in the head. We're going the... the wrong way. We should be on the car stairs, or not on the curhawkson road. That's funny. Must have taken the wrong turn. Well, aren't you going to turn back? Sure. Whatever you're saying. Turn right around and go back. We're in the ditch. In the ditch? That's no good. She won't budge. Well, it looks like we're stuck here for the night. You look scared. Oh, no. Um, I think I'd better get out and walk. Perhaps there's a house nearby. Walk in this weather? Oh, I don't mind the weather, really. I don't... You can't walk in this storm? Well, uh, nevertheless, I'm going to try. Not on your life. Staying right here, till I get the car out of the ditch. Get pneumonia walking in this storm. But I will... Let's see, where's that flash line? Oh, here we are. Got some tools in the trunk compartment. You stay put. Stay right where you are. I heard him open the trunk in the back. I listened for further sounds. But there was nothing. I didn't hear him moving here. I didn't hear any tools. I had to find out what he was doing. Slowly, carefully, I got my door open. I stepped out into the rain and sneaked back to the rear. I saw him there, not moving, in front of the open trunk compartment, bending over with a flashlight in his hand. The ray of light was focused on something curled up inside. It wasn't baggage or tools. It was a woman's body. Just then he saw me. He snapped the flashlight off, but not before I caught a glimpse of red hair. Then I must have fainted. When I came to, I found myself seated inside the car again. My face and hair were wet. My clothes were dripping. John Taylor was driving. His face as he stared ahead through the night was dark and bleak. The storm was over. Night was quiet. Oh, so you're awake again? I don't feel well. Is it because of what's in the trunk compartment? She's dead. I told you not to get out of the car. What are you going to do with me? What do you think? Please. Sorry, sister. Don't make your medicine. Don't make any trouble. I'll try to make it as easy for you as I can. They say that when a person loses all hope, subconsciously he seeks refuge in sleep. That's what must have happened to me. I must have dozed or perhaps I fainted. I don't know. But I awoke with a start at the sound of breaks. I sat up straight and stopped in front of a small field stone house. Why are we stopping here? I'm out of gas. Oh. Come on. We're going in. I'm on the door. Roger Bryce, MD. In the spark of hope. I'll do the talking. Is that clear? Yes. Where's the bell? Oh. Must be awake. There's a light in the parlor. How do you do? Good evening, Dr. Bryce. Yes, can I help you? I'm terribly sorry to disturb you, doctor. But my sister and I were heading for car stairs and we seem to have gotten lost. And we're out of gas. Oh, sister. He was passing us off as brother and sister. Now I knew why he hadn't cut my throat as he had that service station man's. He was carrying me for protection. I was his passport through the police court. I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you. I'm seven miles from the nearest town. And I haven't any spare gasoline. Come in, won't you? Why? Yes. Thank you. We will. I wonder if I could offer you my hospitality for the now. That would be imposing. But at all, I have two rooms that aren't being used. Really? Oh, come. I insist. I'd hoped for a chance to talk to Dr. Bryce alone. Just a word to warn him. But Taylor never left us alone for a minute. He insisted, insisted, insisted coming into my room to make sure he said that it was comfortable enough for me. Then he took the doctor by the arm and went out with him. Good night, sis. And sweet dreams. I was alone, free of the presence of John Taylor. I had another lease on life. I waited, my heart pounding. Give them both a chance to retire. Then I slipped off my shoes. And in my stocking feet, I stole across the room and inched my door open. Slowly, carefully, I stepped out into the corridor and turned right toward the doctor's room. What's the matter, sis? You weren't thinking of going anywhere, were you? I wanted a drink of water. In case you didn't know it, there's a water pitcher on your dresser. Oh, I didn't see it. Good night, sister. I turned around and went back into my room. It was no use. If I attempted to warn Dr. Bryce, Taylor would probably kill us both. I turned out the light in my room. I knew he was watching my trance. Then I lay down on the bed. How long I lay there, I don't know. Perhaps I slipped, perhaps not. But I heard that slight creak as my door began to inch open. The blood chilled in my veins. Slowly the door came open. I lay fascinates. Unable to move. Vaguely I saw the outline of the hand and the knife it held. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. Slowly he came toward the bed. Now he stands over me. He raises the knife. I see! I rolled over on the bed just as the knife slashed down. I rolled off the bed and cowered in a corner. That horrible figure came around the bed after me with a knife upright. I had no strength to move. To think that I didn't hope all the life seemed to have gone dead in my veins. And then... then it was over. But who... who had won? In the dark I strained my eyes to see there was a vague shape on the floor and another weaving around the room who... which one was it? Doctor... Dr. Bryce! Is that you? No Linda. It isn't Dr. Bryce. It's I, John Taylor. John Taylor. Standing there at the light switch and on the floor lay Dr. Bryce unconscious with a long gash in his head. I... had to hit him with a water pitcher. My eyes turned to Dr. Bryce. I saw the knife still ripped in his right hand. That's Hartley, Linda. Lee Hartley, the killer. It was he who came in here with a knife? Right. I was down the cellar just now. The real Dr. Bryce is down there. Dead. And this fellow posed as Bryce when we came to the house. Then... then you... you're not Hartley. Oh, isn't that rich? All the time you thought I was Lee Hartley and I thought you were Helen Hearn but the body... the body, the red-haired woman. That's Helen Hearn. This fellow must have killed her back at the service station and stuffed her body in my trunk apartment while I was inside. That all happened last summer. In time I think I'll manage to forget that night of horror but it won't be soon. Sometimes in the night I dream that I see that awful figure with the knife poised above my throat. And I wake up screaming but then John takes me in his arms and holds me tight and tells me that everything's all right. You see, I'm Mrs. John Taylor now. Oh. But you know, a happy ending. As for Mr. Hartley, that pleasant killer, he got what he deserved. Yeah, some people never know where they're well off. He should have stayed in jail where they never raise your rent, or make no charge for meals or for electric current. You see, when you're in jail, everything is free except you. You know, Mr. Host, that's the first happy ending we've had in a long, long time and I must say I endured it. Those lovebirds shouldn't have gotten married. It's bad for business, Mary. Now when she wakes up screaming from a nightmare, she reaches for her husband instead of a hot cup of elliptin tea. Well, I'm glad she has a husband to comfort her. There are plenty of other occasions, Mr. Host, when elliptin's tea is welcome. And I don't mean just at mealtimes, either. Elliptin's is grand between meals. And, of course, it's the perfect beverage to serve when friends and neighbors drop in to visit you. Yes, I guess that's why more people serve elliptin tea than any other brand. And our word of caution to all amateur detectives, they say that if you give a criminal enough rope, he'll hang himself. But if you give some criminals enough rope, he might tie you up. Oh, by the way, this month in a sanctum mystery novel is Puzzle for Wantons by Patrick Quenton. Yes, and next week's in a sanctum story directed by Hyman Brown and brought to you by Elliptin Tea and Elliptin Soup. Next week's story is about a lonely man who falls in love with a mannequin in the store window. Oh, gee, fellow wants a real girl. So he tries to make her come to life. And what do you know? He finds he has to kill her first. Well, now it's time to close the squeaking door, so... Good night. Pleasant dreams. Folks, these busy days, we all want to save time when we prepare meals, and yet we don't want to sacrifice that good homemade taste. Well, the answer to that is Elliptin's noodle soup. You see, Elliptin's takes no time to prepare, and yet it has a real fresh cooked chickeny flavor. Yes, it tastes just like the chicken noodle soup you'd make right in your own home. Elliptin's is economical, too. It costs less and makes more than canned soups. So, folks, don't forget to serve Elliptin's noodle soup. And don't forget to tune in next Tuesday night for another inner sanctum mystery. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqhfvj1j7BM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

I hope everyone is doing well. It's Wednesday the 18th of December quick heads up Sam is doing the big fat Christmas market quiz Something we do here at Amplify Trading every year a bit of fun, but these are all market related questions and Unfortunately, I can't take part because I've actually seen and contributed to some of the questions But I won't unveil yet what some of the big prizes are but everyone's invited to take part So three o'clock London time Sam will come on. He'll run a live feed via our YouTube channel So if you want a chance to take part and test your knowledge about everything that's happened in markets over the last 12 months It's going to be a good one So so join us then what we need to do is subscribe to the channel hit the bell icon Then you'll get notified when we begin otherwise just starting with The briefing it's actually not too much for me to comment on so there's not really any new updates on Brexit related headlines There's nothing really going on with us trying to trade wars at the moment They're probably the two hottest themes of the last week or so But there is some significant equity stories whether it's a merger agreement in the automotive sector or One of the key bellwethers in the US FedEx having a profit warning last night There are a couple of stories I can fill you in on But looking at the cross asset class mixed this morning It's very much reflective of abbi as I've just mentioned. It's pretty quiet overall The dollar index and maybe a touch stronger, but only one tenth of a percent pretty sideways for the currency markets at the moment In terms of the British pound Stabilizing I was just going to go back and look at briefly that chart we had yesterday marked up and You can see that from when we delivered the briefing yesterday It was just about when we had the gap fill from the closing of price before the spike up on the election result If we're looking at the sterling futures contract here But we continue to drift south yesterday as markets have to price in this renewed risk of a no deal, of course Otherwise, I'll come back to that in a second equity index futures pretty quiet oil Hugging the pivot will be at down 40 cents a bit of a pop lower in WTI crude last night You can see that that bigger red candle. These are 30 minute candlesticks there the price moving down by around 40 cents or so Yesterday evening, and of course we had the API all of the trees Released and I can get you up to speed as well with those numbers So let's jump straight into the the headlines And this is one of the first things I wanted to mention because it's like to get a lot of airplay It's kind of the main story that people are running given the fairly quiet macro Developments at the moment. So fear Chrysler and Persio agree to merge in giant auto deal So apparently they've struck a merger pat that would create the world's fourth largest car maker by output With combined revenues of approximately 170 billion euros The transaction expected to complete within 12 to 15 months subject to shareholder approval And then of course regulatory clearances, but this doesn't make them in terms of the actual combined size One of the largest car makers in the world. There's they still wouldn't rank near the top in that respect Combined revenues that would be would be decent Opening calls in terms of the cash market just having a quick look Peugeot shares were called up about 5% ahead of the open So some pretty decent gains for the for the French car maker fear Chrysler up about 2% at the open as well One thing I was just looking at and talking about The auto manufacturers was I was just updating a few crib sheets In regards to the equity indices and I was just having a look at the DAX Composition and obviously automakers in Germany have suffered greatly under a kind of a combination of protectionism coming out the US specifically targeting tariffs on the lights of BMW Volkswagen Daimler and so on But also you remember we had China just a few days ago coming out saying they could also retaliate if the German government was to ban Huawei's 5g network and obviously the way to hurt Germany or at least to threaten them in that type of situation is to Target the car makers given as well. There's such an export heavy nation And last time I looked at this sector allocation of the DAX obviously the automobile sector was top Combining those big three automakers although individually not the largest companies Collectively was the largest piece of the pie here that you can see on the left hand side However, what a difference a couple of months makes and given the multiple profit warnings We've had from a lot of these German automotive names including lots of different Regulatory issues that they've had Compliance issues with the emissions side as well over the years and the automobile sector now is just ranking all the way down at fifth spot Below farmer software insurance and chemicals So they're definitely quite interesting to see how quickly the the tie can turn there and the underlying composition of course of these indices Can alter the other company that I thought was worth mentioning is FedEx now for any of those new to markets It's not the FedEx is a particularly large company But it is often seen as a bit of what they call or classifiers of bellwether that meaning that the Frequency of the use of the company services to deliver goods would be reflective then of consumers purchasing of say gifts to then use FedEx to send or consumers buying Goods for themselves. So the weaker their business then the weaker it would reflect on the overall Economic environment and as you can see here from the title. They've slid after their second profit warning So it's a second time in three months in fact that they've cut their annual earnings guidance They've cited as you can see a weak economy higher costs and also lots of delivery deal with Amazon Amazon of course just looking to take everything in the house be the Giant conglomerate that they are not utilizing any more the uses of the likes of FedEx Which is a big blow for them as well. So Aftermarket last night when this news broke their shares were down about six percent So, yeah, if you're looking for other signs as to think about are we nearing a bit of a top for this equity run? Another thing of course that that people talk about at this time of year and let's just let's just have a quick look at the S&P at the moment Perhaps put it on a 240 so we can look at a bit of a longer time frame I mean just looking where we are at the moment I would say it's going to be pretty tough going for us to break the all-time high now having established that above the 3200 level Only within the last week or in fact yesterday Fresh catalysts to really push us higher again Given the proximity of Christmas in year end I think is is limited. So obviously these things are not impossible, but I would say we need something Surprisingly positive to come out The one thing as well that will probably help the consolidation if anything of perhaps the equity move This you know solid gain that we've had more recently through December in the recovery throughout the month Is that obviously Trump will want to deliver a little Christmas present? Not just in terms of for markets But for the consumer to validate that his policies are in fact working by just Connecting that to the height of the stock market That's his kind of political way of just going about his business The other things with Trump as we discussed yesterday the house is looking like they are going to impeach the president But as I said, I don't really see that as a risk to price at this point and I think that's reflected In the fact that everyone knows he's going to get impeached by the house It's not going to pass the Senate and so therefore, you know, if this was going to be a market moving piece of information It already would have done so and it hasn't so and again the likelihood of actual Removal from the White House is Minimal if not non-existent. So I wouldn't get too worried about that So all in all whether or not we consolidate in this 3192 to 3203 until the end of the year Perhaps we see a pullback and if we did then you know You've got good areas now technically where the S&P is likely to to find some decent support But all in all even if we did pull back a percent Also, I don't think that that's anything to get too worried about and I think now we just see out the year And if I was looking a little bit more conservative for a range 5950 up into Wards where we are at the moment will probably be the kind of price area. I'd be looking at Talking of Brexit as I said the pound was Continuing to come down yesterday. So I mean, let's just have a look from a percentage point of view How far we've gone from the actual Peak of the actual election night to the low of yesterday. We've now come off about three and a quarter percent for cable as This becomes a little bit more of a distinct reality now of where are we heading given the shift in The toughness on the Brexit legislation that Boris is going to look to push through in the Wab at the end of the week I'm not going to go through this in in all detail. What I'll do is I'll just pop it in the chat room I did share it on my my Twitter account as well if you wanted to have a look at this graphic But I guess just summarizing a couple of the options and the decisions that need to be made Going forward and their respective time frames as well in order for that to happen Otherwise elsewhere, let's just have a look at WTI crude I did say and show you that the price dropped overnight This comes as you can see here the headline crude figure showed a build of 4.7 million expectations were for a drawdown of 1.5 So after four days of gains, the report shows US stockpiles are swelling once again Cushing was a drawdown of about 300,000 gasoline a bit of 5.6 million distillates a bill of 3.7 so pretty sizable crude and gasoline combo there And then around the 5 million mark just bumping crude oil prices down from where we were trading just shy of a 61 hand or yesterday Back a bit of a pullback of 50 cents or so so that's setting us up for the data we'll get later on today Final thing actually just quickly jumping back to the UK political side of things just wanted to mention this because Literally earlier a day or so ago when I was looking at this Rebecca long Bailey was seen as the outright favorite for the next Labour leader and Keir Starmer who on the night of the election was seen as the outright favorite He had dropped a third and only priced in the booking or in the betting market about 12% Overnight though, there's been a significant shift in the betting market backing Keir Starmer Keir Starmer, of course Was or can Potentially cause a bit of friction with the Northeast because he was very much a backer of a second referendum more definitively than say Corbyn was However, you could say that he's a little bit more towards the centrist side of the left Which would be very different from Rebecca long Bailey who's very much part of the Corbynista crew so She's come off and the more I'd say center left candidates Lisa Nandy's taken a bit of a bit of a pop to the upside But Keir Starmer taking the most biggest Move at the moment. It does come you've probably seen on Twitter Let me just see if I if I go on my Twitter account here You can see on the on the right-hand side things that are trending on Twitter this morning And this this really sums it up actually I didn't plan on on seeing this But you can see Tony Blair is the number one tweeting thing on Twitter at the moment Now he's come out yesterday and of course Tony Blair being of the of new labor Very much more centrist saying that if this isn't the Definitive sign that labor needs to move to the center again than what is but then you've got that and then the second most trending thing On Twitter is hashtag Corbyn was right. I Mean I've not looked at these tweets yet, but Assumed that they're saying that Boris is a liar Because he's now threatening no deal when he said he was gonna pass his deal So sure I get that but the point I was just one going to share here is that I mean look how divided Labor supporters are here. You've got Tony Blair trending and then you've got Corbyn was right trending Just goes to show the state of the opposition party at the moment until they get that act together and really Unite behind one single direction Then they're gonna be what's gonna be a Tory rule for a while. I guess With the way I'd interpret that Quick look at the calendar UK data well before the UK data You got German iPhone coming up at 9 o'clock and perhaps that can be interesting It's not normally massively market moving because I think people are generally Aware of the current economic state of Germany being fairly dire But the forward outlook is important and if we were to get an upside surprise number I do think that the bigger reaction is is from an upside surprise rather than a downside miss If that makes sense just given how negative people currently are in terms of the behavioral view of Germany at the moment and people wanting to see if not is it gonna get worse or are we hitting a bit of a bottom at the moment and so ifo being then the the main kind of survey to a large sample of actual Companies on the ground that could be an interesting figure. So that's coming out at 9 the headline reading expected at 95 point 5 So a slight improvement on the prior month UK CPI data coming out Not looking for anything really from that those numbers I guess here. It's more a case of at the moment The dominant theme is the pricing in of no deal from Boris if we were near a particularly important, let's say technical level of support for instance It could act as a catalyst Just to break a level in itself I don't think it's really that meaningful as a piece of economic data So even though CPI nearly always very important given it really really is key to monetary policy decision-making The fact that the data is expected to be largely No different from the prior month with we're basically tracking just sub 2% in CPI year-in-year in the UK And I wouldn't be really looking for too many shocks either side Otherwise we get the final eurozone CPI but again final reading So I'd say I foe more of a risk for any euro position than the CPI reading into the US afternoon We get Canadian data at 130. So That does inflation data move the loonie if you are looking at that currency You got the oil infantry from the DOE Coming out 330 so recap of the API as we'll go through again and the setup on on crude oil head of the figures And then that's pretty much it speakers Christine Lagarde does speak in a short while actually so keep an eye out for any comments But I don't think she's gonna say anything She's speaking at a welcoming address in honor of ECB's coer organized by the ECB So not looking for too much given the importance of her speech just given last week feds brain art voter Neutral has been slightly on the other side in recent year or so Speaking at 1015 ECB's coer does speak Himself at 1115 and feds Evans are leaning dove speaking Later on late afternoon London time and then finally The Amphi quiz again happening delivered by the one and only Sam north. I'll be at three o'clock. All right guys That's it. I'll pop that Brexit decision tree in the chat, and I wish you a good day. Thanks very much Hi guys yet looking forward to To the quiz to make sure you're getting your your revision in early doors Head of that will we'll get that running around three o'clock Starting off here S&P you can see Just found a bit of support. Let's bring the pivots onto this chart here Bit of support found on yesterday's lows, which were the pivots and What a range bound trade that would have been in sort of late morning a couple of tests of that and we went up to the high and That 32 hundred still not really confirming a big push above that As of yet anyway the level we're trading now. I would say is pretty significant as well Just above here on the pivot. You've got quite a strong level of resistance Which was good support yesterday. You can see all around 31 97. So we're keeping a watch on that Below these levels of support here 31 92 I think we could I mean it's not a massive move but down to the s1 You've also got the high that we had back on the the Friday double top there around that point You can see here this marked up. So we're keeping a watch on that below where we're trading above 31 97 3200 and the double top from yesterday's high and then the high that we had back on Monday as well So horizontal levels those to be the ones that keep an eye on obviously that trend line from the December low still worth having on us. It's getting a bit steeper here. Let's get bring that in from the third Like so Down to low the 10th and we didn't quite make it on the 12th, but I still have it on as a bit of a guide You know, you'd almost be like you're happy to stay overall long and S&P as long as that goes through in terms of drivers throughout the day Sorry The data in the afternoon US wise isn't going to be massively market moving unless the oil numbers are incredibly out of line So again trade developments will be something to focus on here or any other kind of risk As well, but for now it seems to be still a case of Overall looking for places to get long in this market really unless it breaks that trend line Obviously that goes for the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones as well Both actually you can see very similar just above that pivot But have some resistance here on the the Nasdaq to keep an eye on before you get to the double top on their all-time highs The Dow as well perhaps leading the way, but not quite breaking through and again very similar in that double top all-time highs from yesterday and Monday as well having a look over at the pound obviously come down yesterday Is around this sort of time where we filled the gap free and and that was when we were 300 pips below Friday's high and we almost touched 131 in early hours this morning if we go to the high in the futures at 135 and a half Big big move to the downside almost when it's test my maths out here almost 450 pips which is incredible Have we found the bottom that is the question What an area you would have to say to the people to look to get back in again You know if you could offer people 131 which was the the low that we had on the election day an area to get in following an election win for the Conservatives Maybe this is the point of Interest to get in I don't know maybe in terms of being confident on this in terms of a Resistance point maybe where you could look to to get in you obviously the pivot is a long way away and Literally from the low is a hundred pips But you can see we're starting to maybe with these Previous highs just get squeezed in so I would have this on Just as a bit of a guide starting from 4 30 yesterday Afternoon you've got those three tests here one Two three so I think it's the worst idea in the world to perhaps look for a long above that trend I'm targeting towards the the pivot here in the futures which you know that was to happen now from 3166 to you know the 132 hand on a bit above not a bad little place to to get in above there Obviously you can have a lot of the previous support levels to keep an eye on so there would be a lot of resistance In terms of a bigger move to the downside if the the low that we had 131 and the low the 12th goes then you know again a bigger move perhaps down towards some of the highs that we had on the top of the third or Even the high of the 18th of November could be points of interest for this market to go to Yesterday as well see the euro did drift down a touch into the back end of the session and that continued this morning after a decent start To the day we came up to test some interest in resistance And actually broke through and you can be forgiven for thinking maybe the euro is going to extend here But not quite and we were saying yesterday as we put this on the the 240 about having those trend lines on from the lows Just because it's been the same pattern the whole year For the euro in terms of you start developing these trend lines They break and suddenly you're at the low of the year again in terms of what could maybe drive a break of that trend line today you've got Got a bit of European data out of 10 worth keeping an eye on before You know that the US Well, it was not going to move it. So really potential Data points only 10 a.m. Really going to see possible move here, so Watching that trend line Going from the low of December to the 6th, and then of course below that and we could get a bit interesting again in terms of a very strong resisted support point I'd go with the 111 83 the higher the 21st of November and the 4th 5th and 6th of December before the lows that we got in the 12th and 13th So keep a watch on that other levels to be aware of just above where we're trading If we were to drift out where with the sellers want to protect we can seek some nice support from yesterday afternoon 1237 give or take be keeping a watch on that and maybe you would be Happy to get long more of a medium term or a longer Intra-day trade if it can break above this trend line as well starting from yesterday afternoon So you wrote interesting points coming up most notably you can understand why we found support on this s1 low of yesterday low of Monday Morning as well. So keep key level Definitely want that marked up gold Let's have a quick look relatively range band. I mean just having a look at that It's it's been a tricky market. I would say for overall direction in recent weeks with Are the Fed can be hawkish or dovish? What's the trade situation good comments bad comments and it's struggling really for an overall move And look over the last three trading days. It's done nothing quite range-bound So keep a watch on that 1484 to the upside and the downside s1 and those lows coming in around 1478 In terms of a bigger move 1490 would interest me for a long If we can close the day above that and you can see why This all these lows those highs and as you know to the downside if we break that those trend lines Could be a decent opportunity to get short historically The first two months of the year January February actually not too bad for gold So maybe the opportunity and this is something I would be looking for is to get long above 1490 If we can confirm a break above that but in today looking at this Again drivers not going to be too much. There's no real new headlines out So it have to be something maybe it more unscheduled that would really drive price action here So for now the range-bound trade is not a bad one to look at and just prioritizing The highs from yesterday and the low from the week as well Quick look over oil before we finish up on European equities to see what they're doing a decent afternoon for oil Before coming down on the API and and actually the low that we made today is significant 6037 was the high that we had back on the 13th as well So just have that marked up trend lines are choppy. So probably not Really worth having any of those on so Narrow that down to 15 minute small range if we can get above the 60 58 Obviously looking for a bigger move up to towards the previous support before that API did come out As well, but not too much going on and probably best waiting for the afternoon considering just how small that range is And of course as we know oil more likely to move in the afternoon Anyway, let alone because of the the DOE numbers quick. Look over at the back. Just to wrap things up relatively quiet First 30 minutes has to be said you can see yesterday. We had a decent push lower that continued all the way Until around 10 11 o'clock We obviously filled the gap of the week Pretty quick. We did gap overnight to the downside, but we're not far away Put this on the 15 minute form filling that on the future. So certainly have this Marked up as a point of resistance above that Well, you know US equities could well look to be attacking those Resistance points from yesterday and and get a push through But overall relatively quiet out there data Calendar is going to be you know kicking off from in terms of the pound anyway at at 9 30 Then you got some at 10 o'clock from Europe final inflation numbers So I would say relatively quiet morning the afternoon looking quite similar So maybe more unscheduled Comments would be one to to be aware of and with the rate that Donald Trump is tweeting It would be too surprising to have something going on any questions as usual Please do let us know to see an oil here. Just tick down to its lower point of the day But yeah, any questions do please let us know We'll be live free o'clock UK time for the quiz. Everyone can take part. It'll be done by a Kahoot So you'll all have 60 seconds to answer each question. There'll be no advantage from Anyone doing it in the office. So it's an equal playing field I look forward to having you all join me for that But yeah, any questions ahead of that, please do let us know I hope you'll have a good trading day and I'll catch you all later on	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqV1cy4IehE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCuP2W4VzGOTfXnIStiSYg1w	Common discus throw mistakes & how to fix them \| Para throwers no exception.	whether you throw the discus, the shot put , or both, the key to big throws is training good technical positions and identifying and fixing mechanical mistakes.

That wasn't bad. That was a lot better. It was good. Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from Maritime Sports Nation and in this video we're gonna talk about Ella Rodriguez. She came in, she's an aspiring para-athlete and you're gonna notice as we go through the video and we went through a training of the course of multiple days, many of the mistakes she was making are very common young thrower mistakes. So you're gonna notice how when we set up we started talking with how she's setting up the path of her shoulders and arms and creating separation and stretch reflex and setting the angle. So specifically with her classification it's gonna be super critical for her to be on top of the delivery leg axis. So we look at some of our Paralympians like Jeremy Campbell of the United States. So Jeremy Campbell has the same thing where he has a prosthetic on his right leg and that's gonna be the sweep leg delivery leg. So the problem with Ella's technique is that she was shortening the left side and then pulling herself off of her right leg. Now this is a problem for all throwers and especially if you have this classification it's gonna be super critical to be on top of the axis to be able to create the rotation. That's how you create a rotation. There, here, here, turn the foot to six. Well now, give me the band, knees apart, straighten your, get your foot leg up. Okay, so you gotta get your foot extended. Here, bend, there, there. You feel that? Not bad, widen it out. Good, there we go. Head with the hips, there we go. Now sweep the sweep leg, go. That was a lot better, okay? Close, good. Now, see what you're gonna do. And again, so this is now exposing so your dad can kinda see. So you're gonna notice as we go through the video and we go through the training you're gonna see how like we showed her how to set those positions better and now the hips weren't automatically coming through and you'll see that as we're going here that the hips are starting to come through. Her stand throws much better than when she started but she still has to learn the transition from the pillar three to pillar four so when she's coming and sprinting into the middle she inverts the high point and she pushes her shoulders back and that's causing her to fall off balance and come off of the delivery leg. Now this is a problem with a lot of young athletes, the inverted orbit, we've discussed things like that. So this all stemmed from how she's starting and what we talk about with the chain reaction is what you set up in pillar one and how you set up the chain reaction and how you set that up in various aspects of your throws training. So we did that and that issue of the left arm and shoulder path and movement will also affect how she's going to be able to activate her sweep leg. So we had multiple things pertaining to the left side entry axis of the lower body, left arm path and action on the upper body so her entry arm balance arm block arm and then the sweep leg delivery leg position. That was a lot closer, a lot more power. That was actually a lot better. Just wrapped up training weekend with Ella Rodriguez, young para athlete actually doing a lot of really good things but like so many athletes, she just has not been really taught how the throw works correctly and she did an extremely good job because most of the changes for the classification really, they're pretty minimal. It's really just understanding proper mechanics in the throw. She's really a driven young athlete so she got a little harder in herself towards the end and that's gonna be part of when you start out and you do things where you have bad habits, those bad habits have to be unlearned while you're learning new. That's always the trick. That's why it's so critical for everybody out there to learn the right way from the beginning. So if you're not following something that's keeping you on track, you're going to improve slower. It's just kind of how it works. It's a very unnatural movement. It's an unnatural sport. So our system is always six pillars, position training in every pillar, drills that train how the body moves in those positions and throwing. And so we start teaching all the alignment, the rotation of the delivery side axis, the block side action and sequence and how those things go together. We're looking at the orbit. We're looking at setting up the chain reaction, action reaction, so set up short, wind short, throw short. So then we taught her how to set up long, wind long, throw long. And that's what hopefully you guys kind of see and hopefully you enjoyed. And if you have any questions, be sure to comment below. We'll see you on the next video.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqkdCbIMgLo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

A visit to the Lyde Garden in the Buckinghamshire village of Bledlow. Bledlow is well known for featuring in Midsomer Murders and we see The Lions of Bledlow Pub and the Parish Church which have featured in the program. We explore this attractive garden around the source of the River Lyde which flows into the River Thame which intern flows into the River Thames.

I'm outside the Lions of Bledlow. This is a pub in the beautiful Buckinghamshire village of Bledlow. Now I've been told this used to be two pubs because you can see there's a front door there and a front door there. One was called the Black Lion and one was called the Red Lion and they merged and became one pub so the Lions of Bledlow. I'm not sure how true that is but if that's true then that's a great story and I have been in there, I've had a pint in there. It's a lovely pub as is the village. So what I'm going to do today, we're going to go for a walk through the village and there's something quite spectacular I have discovered at the other end of the village. So we're going to walk up there but first we're going to walk through the village. Now I have something I'd like to say to all of my viewers and that is thank you very much. I have made it to 2,000 subscribers so I'm really grateful to all of you who have subscribed. Really, really appreciate it. So thank you very much. The fact that you've subscribed to me, it helps me. I can go out, I can make more videos and if you haven't subscribed please do because the more subscribers I get, you know, there's chances I get possibly invited to places as I have in the past. People say oh we've all seen your videos, we'd like you to come and make a video. So please do subscribe. It's if you haven't already. I really appreciate it and for all of you who have subscribed, you know, just again thank you very much. Perhaps invite your friends to subscribe as well. More subscribers I'll make, the more videos I'll make. So yeah thank you very much. Anyway we're now walking through the oldest part of the village of Bledlow. Do you think it looks like I'm walking through a scene out of Midsummer Murders? That's because I am. This village has featured quite a few times in Midsummer Murders. It's, you know, one of your lovely Chilton Hills villages. Quite a small place, nearest town B, Prince of Risbury in that direction. That way over the border in Oxfordshire, you've got Chinna. Of course running between the two towns is the Chinna Prince of Risbury Railway. There was a halt here called Bledlow Bridge Halt. I'm not going to show you that today because there's not a lot you can actually see without travelling on the train. But what we'll do at some point in the future, we'll do a video on Chinna Prince of Risbury Railway and their former stations. Perhaps we'll even go to Watlington and try and find the old station. So the railway runs just down there. So what we're going to do now, we're going to go and see the Holy Trinity Church. We're not going inside and it's not open today. But after we've passed the church is this really exciting place that I would like to show you. So here's the Holy Trinity Church. This church has definitely been on Midsummer Murders in quite a few episodes. I have a feeling I'm not 100% sure, but there was one Midsummer Murders where the vicar turned out to be the murderer. And at the end when he was found out he ran up the tower and jumped off. I think it was this church, but I'm not entirely sure. So if you know and would like to confirm that please do comment and tell me, or if you want to tell me it's another church somewhere else, tell me and maybe I'll go to that village and make a video. So that's the Holy Trinity Church. Now the place I'm taking you to, see over there, you can just see some houses beyond the trees. Before that it's down in the hole. It is a big, what appears to be like a big chasm in the middle of the village. And down in that chasm is somewhere quite a nice place. So let's continue. We'll have a look down into the chasm and then we're going to work our way down. So let's get a few of the beautiful church. So here we've got a public footpath which runs down to the main road. It goes across to Jim Pritzker's railway. I'm probably going to go around this video and maybe see a train. But it's this place here. Have a look down there. You can see a lake or a pond with a very, very exciting looking boardwalk. It's just one of those places you look at, I think, cannot possibly not go down there and have a look. So we're going to leave the church behind, just give you an idea, see how the church is so close to the edge of this hole. So the place I'm going to go to is down there. It's called Lide Garden. It's the source of the River Lide, which is, I would have thought it was a chalk stream. It's a river, a small river flows out, eventually joins the River Tame, and then the River Tame eventually joins the River Thames. We have done in the past, when the one chalk stream we followed from Source to Confluence was the River Mizzborn. Over on the other side of Bacchamshire, we did that last summer. I'm not going to necessarily do the whole of the River Lide, but we can certainly go and have a look at the source. So it's behind this fence here. So just up here, there's a gate. It's called the Lide Garden. It is free to visit. And it looks beautiful all times of year. I've deliberately come here today, partly because I'm watching Train Sunshine for its Rishborelle, and partly because there's not too many other people here. So it makes it quite easy to film. So as you come in through the gate, what they have done, because of the pandemic and social distancing, is the one-way system, so it says no entry. So we won't go down there. We'll come up there at the end. There's a church over there. So we're going to go, as it says, one way. So let's follow this one way and see where it goes. It says also stay two metres apart from our visitors. I don't think I'm going to need to worry about that too much. So I'm just going to let the camera roll and I'll point out a few things as we go. So we're kind of coming down now into the garden. You can just see that pagoda will finish up down there. That is the actual source of the River Lide. We are walking along this side. And I wanted to try and find that boardwalk I showed you. So I can see on the other side. There's a path there which is closed. So we won't go down that one, but it doesn't matter because, you know, we can still see the whole of the garden. It's a very nice box-heading here. That's where we'll go up there by the church. So that's the boardwalk. So to me, this is possibly one of the most attractive sources of a river I've ever seen. I've never really seen one quite like this. This garden, it does in a way, although it's not really anything like it, it does remind me of the Plantation Garden in Norwich, which I did a video about a few years ago. I'll have a look at the link on screen now. It's not really like it, but well, it's a garden in a kind of chasm in a bit of an unexpected area. So that's the similarity to actually look at, I wouldn't say they're the same. So we get to here. This is where the boardwalk starts. So we'll do that in a minute. Let's just start this path up here. I can have a look across the view over the river. You can hear the very relaxing sound of water. We've got a weir there. And again, up there, yeah, that's the church where we were a moment ago. So let's go along here. We'll follow the path right the way around and around the edge of the river light. So as we come on to this bridge here, this is the beginning of the boardwalk section, there's two not-real herons there. So the river continues out that way. It must go down. It must go for a culvert underneath the church in Prince Rizbor-Railway. The footpath that I was talking about runs along the top there. So if you ever come here and it's closed, you still do get quite a nice view into the garden from the footpath. So that's worth having a look at. And here, this is one of my favourite views of the garden. Just going to let you have a look at that for a few seconds. You can hear the relaxing sound of the water. It's very clear the water as well. And as you can see, you can just see the reflection of the trees above. But I just like how the weeping willow comes over the garden. Obviously it's not got sleeves because it's winter. This just all looks very attractive. So what we're going to do now, we're going to go up these steps up here and just follow the boardwalk around. Yeah, I think this is really one of the nicest views you can get here in the garden. It appears to be like another spring. You can't see exactly what it's coming from, but looking down there beneath the leaves, I can certainly hear it. I can hear water trickling down under there and joining the main riverlide. This must be the first conference. And if you count that as the main stream of the riverlide, it's like its first tributary. Very, very short tributary. That tree there, that really tall one, I believe that's a swamp cypress there. It's a type of tree that grows in, well, basically, conditions. Very wet, damp conditions is the perfect place for a swamp cypress. Oh, there's two more of them there, yeah. Those two, they're swamp cypresses. And of course, we can willows also grow very well. They're fried in this condition. And all that plant there is, it's obviously, it might be, I'm not going to try and guess, but it's obviously covered up because of the frost I would have thought. And there's one more there. Oh, as I said, about the first conference in the riverlide, there's actually another one here. So perhaps there's two more. I mean, yes, it's all part of the main source. So I'm sort of, sort of, it's a bit of a joke, really, to say it's the first conference. Really, all of this is the source. But if you like to call that the main river, then you could call this the conference. So we've got a stream coming down here. We're here to have, well, two more coming down here. They flow out into the river. And there again, there's a church up above us. So when I talk about the main course, I tend to consider this to be the main course of the riverlide, but I know they are all the source. So you've got those ones coming down there. So it's effectively a pond stroke lake from there. Now it's more like a little stream up here. So obviously it's been landscaped, just making it even more interesting. We're going to continue up there and to take on to this bridge. This is the first bridge over the riverlide. There it is, because when we get to there, we're going to walk around the end of the source. So the source is up there in that pond. It comes down here, underneath my feet, down out into the river. So to take you up here, we have the main pond, the very top of the garden. I'm sure I have come in the summer. There wasn't as much duckweed on. That is a pond that's not a piece of grass. So if you ever come in, don't go walking onto that. I'm sure I have seen fish in here as well. See how damp it is here? Must be that all of the water for the riverlide just all comes out the chalk all around here. So this is where the riverlide starts and flows down, down into, beyond and out to the river Tame. So from the Lide Garden, I hope you enjoyed this video and this little walk around bed. Once again, thank you very much for 2,000 subscribers. Really appreciate that. I've just noticed another stream there. It seems to just come out from under the path and it flows along down under this path and into the main river there. So yeah, there's streams everywhere here. So yeah, thank you very much for watching this video. Thank you very much to all of you who've got me to 2,000 subscribers. I'm really pleased to have got to that milestone. Thank you very much for watching and if you're out this way, if you've been on Chinprix River Railway, why not come have a pint in the lions of Bledlow Arthoes and come and visit this garden for yourself. It's a really lovely place. So from the Lide Garden, thank you very much for watching.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQBfBYbmM3Q", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

There's no environmental problems, relationship problems, health issues. There's just no specific problems, but cracked or distorted perception is the problem. What do they say in the Bible? You look through a darkened glass, it says in Corinthians, that's a problem looking through a darkened glass. You can't really see. A lot of us can see when we're looking through a darkened glass. So if distorted or fragmented perception is the problem, then what is it that will stabilize that distorted perception that will clear away that darkened glass? Jesus says, only a single purpose can unify perception. Only a single purpose can unify perception. So we have this purpose in it. You can call it forgiveness, you can call it atonement, you can call it the miracle, you can call it one single intention, you can call it anything you want. But this one single purpose, exercise, practice, used, done through, will unify perception. It's the purpose you bring with you, it's the purpose in mind that you bring to the projects, that you bring to the whatever you're doing. That's everything. That's your decision. It's not that the world happens to you in some kind of accidental, oh, I happen to have a bad day because this happened to me and this and this and this. Remember the workbook lesson myself, capital self is rule of the universe. It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. And what does not occur is what I do not want to happen. Okay. You don't need a whole course of miracles. You can just use that one phrase that myself is ruler of the universe. The power of decision lesson 152, the power of decision is my own. He says, you may believe that this is too all-encompassing to be the truth, Jesus says. The power of decision is my own. But he says, truth has no exceptions. Indeed, that's exactly the way it is. Anything that seems to happen to me, I ask for and receive as I've asked. And there are no exceptions ever, ever, ever. So this is where we're zooming in to enlightenment, where we start to take the empowering journey of seeing how powerful our mind is, the power of decisions, and we don't try to let ourselves get snagged into this idea that we're just raking leaves or just doing the dishes, or just chopping the celery or whatever, which the ego would have us freeze into. It's because why? Because that's littleness, and the ego wants us to be content with littleness and just leave it at that, just stay guilty and little. And a unified purpose lists us up higher and higher and higher into a state of the celestial glory to a level of mind, which we see is all encompassing. So it's never about the project. It's more about the motive. What's the motive? What is it for? What's the motive for the project? And for me, that's the best thing in my life is it doesn't matter if I have fifty emails, the number doesn't matter. I just pray. And if I'm guided to pick out two or three and respond to those, then that's everything. And I've never felt a sense of coercion. I've never felt a sense of duty. It's not fun to feel that you have a duty to serve the Holy Spirit, you know, an obligation. Oh, I'm going to have a day serving the Holy Spirit. But I'm obligated to the Holy Spirit today. You know, where's the fun in that? I would always say what the Holy Spirit wants for me is for me to be happy, for me to be inspired, for me to experience myself as I truly am, and not to hold on to this idea of what David wants, what David wants, what David doesn't want. That's going to get me nowhere. Most of the tasks that I did at the very beginning, even ones that the Holy Spirit would ask me to do, talk to somebody or call somebody and do this and this, I had trepidation and fear and doubt at the beginning because it was so out of pattern for the way I was living my life. And yet I still followed and I felt burst of joy after I got off the phone, after I visited somebody in the hospital, made a pay to visit to their house. I was just swelling with joy. Because I listened and followed, even when the ego was saying, don't do it, don't do it. Stop. You're going to lose your autonomy. You're going to lose your individuality if you keep following in that little voice. I just kept at it. No, I tell the ego, I like that joy. I like that feeling of joy. I want more of that feeling of joy. And so I lost myself in that joy. I lost my ego, you could say, not my true self, but in that experience.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqZSOwUMvLE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

They serve as the basis for the recognition product. And this is how perception would work. First the ear amplifies the incoming signal and transmits it to the auditory nerve. During the primary auditory analysis the signal is filtered and non-speech components are separated from speech. To cope with the complex signal auditory patterns such as formant frequencies must be identified. At the end of the recognition process phonological units such as phonemes or features are extracted from the signal. The whole process is coordinated by the brain using a set of internal patterns the so-called templates with which the incoming signal is compared and matched.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq3s117zdpA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCFhEM_Jl3uKV6b8Ex4wbiFQ	'The Good Fence' - Memorial & Defunct Israel-Lebanon Border Crossing In Metula \| Borders Of Israel	Located immediately on the Israel-Lebanon border, at the fence dividing between Israel's northernmost community of Metullah and the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Kela, is The Good Fence Memorial. The memorial is a commemoration to Maronite soldiers who died in southern Lebanon during the South Lebanon Conflict (1985-2000). The gate itself was the site of a goodwill border crossing (The Fatima Gate) providing access into Israel for Israel's Maronite allies - who were allowed to pass through the crossing in order to work and receive medical care in Israel. Since 2000, the gate has been padlocked and is now the site of occasional anti-Israel protests and stone throwing. The Lebanese village on the other side (Kfar Kela) is now a stronghold of Hizbullah activity. (The only crossing between Lebanon and Israel still in use is that running between Rosh HaNikra and Naqoura in Southern Lebanon, where UNIFIL is based. The site is accessible only to diplomats, clergy, and UN workers. It was the border crossing used by Israeli negotiation teams during the recent Israel-Lebanon maritime boundary talks held at the UN base in Naqoura). -- By: Daniel Rosehill == Contact Information === For latest contact information: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanielRosehillVideo/about Social media and more: https://www.danielrosehill.com == Licensing / syndication / reproduction == Unless otherwise indicated, all videos I distribute through YouTube are licensed under the following Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

This is Daniel Rosel here bringing you another video from another international border in Israel. If you didn't think borders were interesting before, perhaps subscribing to me on YouTube, I hope I'm slowly changing your mind. Borders are the fault lines between countries, the tectonic plates, and in this part of the world in Israel they're not just separating between countries, they're separating between completely different ideologies. And in this case, the border here I'm in front of, which is the Israel-Lebanon border, or technically the blue line I'll get into that, is the dividing line between two countries which are officially at a state of war. So where I am today, specifically according to Google Maps, there is 87 meters between where I'm standing in Lebanon. That village you can see behind me in the distance is the village of Khvar Kila, which is immediately a butting Matula. And we just visited a really interesting memorial here, it's called the Andernet Gederhatov. Gederhatov in Hebrew means the good fence. And basically this is a memorial to Maronite Christian fighters who were fighting effectively alongside or on behalf of the IDF between 1982 and 2000 during Israel's protracted operation to ensure a security buffer in southern Lebanon. Gederhatov as I said in Hebrew technically just means good fence, but it's a nickname for the official border crossing was called the Fatima Gate. And this was basically where the Fatima Gate was, as I mentioned, this is about 80 meters before the border and those houses, there's one here about 50 meters away, you can see a mosque. These are all in Khvar Kila. Khvar Kila, just to emphasize how close all this stuff is, is a Hezbollah stronghold with the Hezbollah army base, at least 20 arms depots. And when the IDF uncovered a couple of years ago attempts by Hezbollah to dig under the border in order to plan their very, very elaborate operation to have a land invasion into these border towns in Israel, one of the tunnels was found and entering Israel very, very close to where I'm standing. So the border was called Fatima Gate because Israel from 1977 until 2000 had a de facto policy, a soft policy of allowing Marini Christians to come into Israel for various good things. That's why it was called the good fence to kind of, I guess, conjure up the idea of goodwill. A 1.1 third of the patients in the nearest hospital here in the ophthalmology department were Lebanese people. They used to be able to come through the border freely in order to work in Israel, in order to access medical treatment in Israel, and then return back into Lebanon. And also I mentioned the border briefly, I'm going to just mention the technicalities, people get very fussy about this word. For me a border is a dividing line between two countries but technically an international border to be worthy of the term has to sort of be agreed between the two countries on the other side of the border. So what you have between Israel and Lebanon is more like a demarcation line based on where Israel withdrew to following its withdrawal out of Lebanon. And now an international organization, UNIFIL, the United Nations Interim Forest in Lebanon are responsible for sort of enforcing the separation along this, what's called the blue line, and is literally marked out by blue cylinders. As I mentioned in my last video at night time his Bilal are now using their latest technique is using little laser pointers to attempt to blind drivers on the Israeli side of the border, put lasers into their house, and potentially cause it. It sounds like a trivial thing but actually has the potential to cause lifelong eyesight damage, including potentially all the way up to blindness. So this is Kfar Kila. On the other side here is the beautiful town of Matula, which as I mentioned is the northernmost community in Israel surrounded on all sides by Lebanon. And over there in the backdrop again is the fantastic beautiful view, which I'll include a few seconds of in this video, of the Hormone covered in snow. Israel's only a sea resort, a ski resort, and also shared with Syria. Hageda Hatov was sort of the nickname for it. It was officially called Shafatima. It was an exception to the otherwise rule that there really is no border crossings, regular border crossings between Israel and Lebanon. And in the year 2000 when Israel concluded its withdrawal from South Lebanon and UNIFIL the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, which whose mandate is to create a buffer in this part of Lebanon Israel whereby the IDF doesn't come north of the blue line. His Bilal doesn't operate to the south of the blue line, although their success in that mandate really really should be drawn into question after a number of tunnels been operated by his Bilal were discovered literally where they're supposed to be. But this is exactly where we are and how close the two countries are at this point. And as I mentioned, although it's a beautiful country site here, the Hormone, the lovely village of Matula, this is very much a border with constant activity going on. I hope this video taken less than 100 meters from the Israel-Abanan border. The village of Kvarkila, abutting the Israeli border community of Matula has been interesting perhaps a little bit of my interest in borders, has rubbed off on you. If you would like to get more videos from interesting things going on in my locality around Jerusalem and elsewhere in Israel and interesting places like Matula, and to get her to do please consider subscribing to this YouTube channel where I will try to upload and publish new video content as soon as I can. And of course, thank you for watching.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq-aJH0iRpo", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCX3nrxx0QvBLjsN2uU0WS4Q	Jeb Bush: American democracy - The path forward	Join us for a special conversation with Governor Jeb Bush and Ford School Dean Michael Barr to discuss the role of public service in these extraordinary times.	[ "Ford School", "University of Michigan", "UM" ]	2022-03-25T09:07:44	2024-02-05T06:07:08	3,874	Zq23wNYMDF4	Good afternoon. I'm Michael Barr, Dean of the Jared R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. On behalf of myself and Ann Curzon, Dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and my co-chair for the Democracy and Debate Initiative, we want to welcome you all for today's session, American Democracy, The Path Forward, a conversation with Governor Jeb Bush. Our program today is part of the University of Michigan's Democracy and Debate Initiative and the Ford School's Conversations Across Differences series. I would like to thank the Tuft Family Foundation for their support of this important work. I would also like to thank the members of the Ford School staff and Governor Bush staff for their work to make this event possible. As Dean of a Policy School named after President Ford, I am particularly pleased to welcome Governor Bush to the Ford School. The Ford family and the Bush family have long connections, friendships formed by the close professional and personal relationship between President Ford and President George H.W. Bush. Governor Bush has a long history of public service, including as Commerce Secretary of the State of Florida and notably serving as Florida's Governor for two terms, from 1999 to 2007. He was also a Republican candidate for President during the 2016 race. He now serves as the Chairman of the Board of Excellent Ed, a nonprofit organization that seeks policy solutions to increase student learning, advance equity, and ready graduates for college and career. Governor Bush and I will be in a conversation and then later in the program will be joined by two Ford School students. Bianca Shaw is a current senior in the Ford School focusing on health policy. She serves as the Government Relations Coordinator for U of M Central Student Government. Bianca is from Maryland and she has advocated for youth and the South Asian community. Michael Hauser is a first year master's student at the Ford School focused on global democratic resilience. Prior to graduate school, he attended the U.S. Air Force Academy and spent nearly eight years as an active duty Army Infantry Officer. After graduation, he hopes to continue serving as a State Department Foreign Service Officer. Now let us turn to the conversation. Governor Bush, welcome to the Ford School. Good to be with you Michael and it's a real honor to participate in anything related to the Ford School and President Ford. I was always a big fan. Well, thank you Governor. As I said in the introductions, I'm especially aware of those connections between your family and the Ford family, the shared value of public service. And I think our shared striving for politics better than we have today. So I'd like to start really with that family legacy. Your family has an extensive record of public service. Your grandfather was a U.S. Senator. Your father was the President, Vice President, Representative, Ambassador, Director of Central Intelligence for President Ford. Our namesake and your brother was, of course, President. You were quite a distinguished governor and a leading figure now in education reform. I wonder if you could reflect on how that family legacy, how your father's model of public service might have influenced your own mode or method or values in public service. Yeah, that's a great question Michael. First of all, I need to have an addendum to the Bush involvement in politics and public service because my son, George P, is a new time elected official in Texas and now running for Attorney General and a contested primary. And my first granddaughter, whose name is Georgia Helena Walker Bush, we call her 41 because she has the same initials as my beloved dad. She's run for office from second grade on. She's a fifth grader. She's won twice and lost twice. That's great. She's become all of the, you know, the anxiety of running for office and she's, she's a really mighty fine president of her fifth grade class at the Montessori School down south. So I don't know, maybe it's a contagion that or it could be part of our DNA, but you know, I think in my case it was a campaigning for my dad in 1980 and then the Reagan Bush campaign. I overcame all of the kind of most people think politics is really weird and they don't want to have much to do with it. But if you get involved in it, you realize it's pretty purposeful and it can be fun. It's not always. And so I overcame some of my trepidation about it, but my main interest was to repay my dad, to be honest with you to get involved. And then when I saw the potential as Secretary of Commerce of the role of governor, particularly, I was motivated to serve because inspired by my dad in every way. He was the greatest man I ever met. And it wasn't any three point plan that drove me to this. It was really inspired by a phenomenal guy that I miss a lot, actually. Yeah, I could see that in the way that I've seen you talk about him before and and the way you're talking about him now and I didn't get a chance to work with him. But I've heard from many people, both Democrats and Republicans, what a fine human being he was to work with. Well, Michael, you know, I know that you worked in the Clinton administration, and much to the chagrin at least I will have to admit this personally for me I was a little surprised that my dad befriended the guy that beat him in 1992. And that friendship really became really, really important for my dad and certainly for President Clinton who I saw a month ago. And he's whether he likes it or not, we've adopted him in our family. So restoring some degree of that notion that if you know you can fight the hard fight in politics and in the policy world. But, you know, you can you can also be a friend. And, and so somehow we've got to get back to that. I was, I was talking to a Congressman, I won't name name him. But he said that Republicans and Democrats in Congress don't even talk to one another. They don't even actually know each other. They don't know who their spouses are they don't know what their, you know background is particularly. It's not necessarily that they're the enemy but you know there isn't that connectivity personally and it's pretty easy to demonize people you don't know it's really hard to do it if you have a human connection right. I think that's right. I want to focus our conversation a little bit next on some really, I think very difficult moments right now for the Republican Party. We're going to talk some more about Republicans and Democrats together but focusing on the Republican side for a bit. In a couple weeks we're going to have Representative Cheney here in conversation with Representative Dingell. And as you know Representative Cheney has been censured by the Republican Party, not for her political beliefs which are quite conservative but because of her desire to support the investigation into the attack on the Capitol back on January 6. I'm wondering if you could reflect on the Republican Party's choice to censure Representative Cheney, how you think about that, what it might tell us about, you know where we are as a country. Well first of all I think it's always important to have a historical context. You're part of the Academy and a sense of history should be an element of everything you guys do. And this is not the only time in American history we've had strife. I think we were reflecting on this when we had our pre-call. I went to the University of Texas, graduated in 1973 and I can remember like the six or seven years leading up to that as being extraordinarily crazy with just turmoil across the board. Riots increased drug use, assassinations of incredible political leaders, a deeply divided country, Vietnam tore the country apart in many ways, Watergate. You go through all of this and then a ruptured economic system in the late 70s, that was a tumultuous time. I'm not sure we're at the worst time in American history right now, so that would be my preface. Having said that, I don't want to discount this idea that somehow if you, you know, Liz Cheney should not be condemned, she should not be censured, she should not be kicked out of the Republican Party. I mean, it wasn't that long ago that a Democrat would have thought that Liz Cheney was just a knucklehead right wing fool. You know, and now she's abandoned by the other knucklehead right wing fools like me, apparently, although I'm a supporter of hers and have written and made contributions because I think it's important for people that kind of integrity to stay in the Republican Party. But she's been abandoned and it's wrong. I don't quite get the whole phenomena of this new populism that is been personified by President Trump particularly. It goes beyond that. I think both parties now have a popular strain that is more, allows for more theater and less productivity in terms of public policy implementation of policy. But I admire, I love Dick Cheney and I admire Liz Cheney for the same reason. Their compass points north, they love this country. They're willing to take pay the price. You know, a lot of scorn was heaped on her dad during my brother's tenure mostly by, you know, people in the other party. And now Liz is being scorned by people in her own party for standing up for what's right. And if we don't support people like that, what's next? You know, so I'm, it does trouble me. I would say that the state of the Republican Party looks a little different when you escape DC, where 60% of statewide elected officials, more than I think two thirds of the state legislatures are controlled by Republicans. The governors, 33 of them I think are Republican or 32. They wake up each day and, you know, they're figuring out how to accomplish an agenda that actually helps people. So we focus a lot on too much on the louder voices in the DC. You know, those that tweet rather than legislate, they get all the attention, but outside of DC, it's not as crazy as it might look. That's certainly a helpful frame. And we do, I agree with you, we do try and talk about historical context a lot in the Ford School. And I do think that our political discourse tends to be very, very foreshortened in terms of perspective, but we've been through some very terribly rough times in American history, and and have come out stronger on the other side. I think potential of doing that here, I don't see the I'm not smart enough to know what good is going to come out of, you know, challenging the basic essence of our election system and things that continue where people feel either to say things that in their heart they know is not right. I don't I don't understand why people feel compelled to do that. It's easy for me I'm out of political life. You know, there's a there's a lot of pressures to conform. Because there's a lot of people really deeply disaffected and angry and hard to reason with people when they're, you know, when they're acting on their fears and their angst rather than their hopes and dreams. How do you begin to change the conversation when I look, you know, I'm an outsider to the Republican Party, I come from a different political tradition. And so I, I may not fully grasp all of the nuance of what's going on internally in the party. I'd like a little bit of help thinking about this. So when you look at at President Trump's brand of leadership, the populism that you described and his attacks on the on really on the Democratic system. That's a very different model of governance from President Ford or or or your dad or your brother in terms of how to think about leadership. So how do you how do you think about pulling the Republican Party away from that approach and towards maybe a more traditional model of governance. So I don't, you know, the question that I think should be asked is how much of this is is populism that is the President Trump has accelerated how much of his Trumpism that relates to him and him alone. I think a lot of it relates to, I think that the trends of polarization started long before President Trump arrived. The angst that people feel because of a changing culture and the disruption of economic policies that left a lot of people behind started way before him. And solving those things I think would get us out of this issue where, you know, we're going to be constantly talking about the 2000 election, which by all accounts was a fair election. And it wasn't stolen. And there's no evidence to suggest otherwise and yet we keep our, you know, candidates are forced to be able to torture themselves to get to a place where they think they get, you know, get a pass from folks that now believe it was stolen because President Trump insists on it. So I think that my belief is that if we get back to problem solving, maybe recast the traditional conservative message to incorporate this populist sentiment to be less about, you know, the perception at least of being, you know, more about big business and things like that and be more focused on how do you allow, how do you give people a chance to rise up as they see fit? How do you give them tools to be successful? How do we create policies to make sure that, you know, our trade policies and our foreign policies are respectful of Americans in general that think that they're getting screwed. You know, if we refocus on that, I think Trumpism begins to die out. But if we're constantly focused on, you know, the 2020 election, if that becomes the dominant figure, the thing going on in 2022, A, I think Republicans probably lose more than they should. It could be a, it should be a really good year for Republicans at the national level and certainly at the state level. And it will have a huge impact on 2024 as well. So part of this is a belief and part of it is my hope. I'm not sure which percentage is what. But I do think, look, I think our political system is broken for many reasons perhaps, but it's not working because we haven't adjusted our policies irrespective of left or right. Our policy prescriptions are, they could be the same ones in many cases that were advocated 20, 30 years ago. And the world has radically changed. I mean, you know, you take this, this device is a computer more powerful than anything we had 30 years ago. Billions of people have it. The internet has changed everything. The pace of the world is at warp speed. And we're still operating with a healthcare system, an education system. Michael, let's say our higher education system as well. How we regulate, how we tax in many ways, how do we, you know, just in almost every aspect we're operating as though we were, you know, from a policy perspective, it was 1990. And I think that's quite dangerous. So as a conservative that believes in the conservative philosophy, I think we need to advocate a 21st century version of that. And I'll let the Democrats figure out how to do that on their side. And if both sides do it, then I think people will begin to feel like the political systems is starting to work for them. It's really hard in the environment that we're in to have the kind of substantive conversation that you just described, right? We're in this environment in which people are throwing kind of invective at each other rather than focused on trying to think about substantive policy that might advance the public good, whether that's from a Republican position or a Democratic position. We spent a lot of time at the Ford School trying to wrestle with this. We have an initiative we call Conversations Across Differences, trying to help people learn how to listen better. And hopefully had a talk in a way that lets other people listen to them when they have these disagreements. And our society, our culture today is not really conducive to that with Twitter and with the invective you hear in Capitol Hill. How do you think we can begin to have a conversation that is focused on really substantive debates about whether it's tax policy or immigration policy or the other issues you laid out instead of just yelling at each other? First I would suggest that your next speaker, the one after Liz Cheney, is try to get Amanda Ripley to come. It was written a book about high conflict. Conflict itself is healthy. It's part of our democracy. And without it, I mean, the democracy doesn't flourish. But high conflict is what we have today, which is very dangerous. And so she's done a lot of research on this and written a phenomenal book about how you get out of high conflict. And I think part of the, you mentioned the most important part, which is listening, you know, and you can't listen over the internet. This has to be personal engagement. And my passionate belief is that we're a bottom up country, the nature of our country. The bill of rights is an incredible set of freedoms that is freedoms from government effectively. The left, the part left calls those negative rights. And they're in favor of guarantees of rights of housing of everything. These are rights to allow yourself to live freely. And to protect those things, you have to engage at a local level. I mean, the 10th Amendment is a good example of that. I don't sure why we outsource so many things that could be done in Lansing or Tallahassee or local governments that right now are dominated by D.C. So the answer, I think, is a bottom up approach. Rebuilding, reweaving the web of civility and of constructive conversations of conflict, but it done in the proper traditional way. Done, you know, done with conviction and passion, but done a thousand different ways across the country. And that's emerging. The interesting thing is, while Rome is burning, you know, our D.C. is all screwed up, you know, basically it just looks ugly. There's a lot of places around the country and you all are doing the same through your efforts at the Ford School. There are scores and scores of examples of this where people are tired of this and they're trying to rebuild our democracy from the bottom up. And I think that's the only way to do this. To rely on the Internet, you know, where you're anonymous and you can rip the head off of somebody without any courage and never meet the person that you're supposedly hating and tearing down is not going to be the answer. Or to reward politicians in D.C. who don't even know what a conference committee is, literally would not know how to actually take a, like the little, like the PBS deal of how laws made, they would have no clue. They can go on Twitter and rip, you know, rip a new one onto one of their opponents. And by the way, the other element of this that makes it quite dangerous is when someone who's really good at this on the left, rips into someone who's really good on this in the right, they both win. They both get more intense followers because everybody's going damn right. They don't convince anybody that doesn't already agree with them. They just create more intensity that makes it harder to reweave this web that I think is what we need to do that can only be done at the local level. How do you think, you know, as we're building up at the local level with this, it connects with this national conversation you have. Again, the current leader of the Republican Party is somebody who's not really that interested in reconnecting the fabric of society. Are there people in the leadership of the Republican Party or could be leaders in the Republican Party who could present a different vision and then, you know, find somebody on the Democratic side who's willing to do the same and and change the conversation or is President Trump's dominance in the party. Does that make it not possible right now at the national level. I think he is a dominant force. He's not the dominant force, but he's certainly an important one. I think it wanes over time just as, you know, it's a natural progression of being a former. Your influence does aside, even Donald Trump's, you know, who spends a lot of time still trying to create the environment where it's all about him. But I do think there are ways to to forge consensus. I mean, my experience as governor was we passed a good year we would pass fewer bills actually than more but soon for a moment we would pass on average 150 bills during our session 140 of them were passed near unanimously. And there was an effort, even though Republicans dominated during my time there, there was an effort to make sure all voices were heard. And when I was governor, the more provocative the idea, the more I tried to find we use the term Nixon to China. It's better to find someone who doesn't look like me who doesn't agree with me on 10 other things on this thing they agree with me to have them be my partner, advocating whatever it was that we were doing. And that's easier done at the local and state level than certainly Washington, we're very little gets done regular order has been blown up. I mean, there is no budget process. There's no balance budget. So there's no, you know, there's no forcing, like at the state level, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, whether you believe in higher taxes or lower, you know, they have to have a balanced budget. And most most states don't cheat. And, you know, there's pressures of pension obligations other things that go along with it. It forces the conversation towards yes. It gets ugly, you know, don't get passed by June 30 a lot of times, but it works. And Washington. There are very few rewards for that. I'd say the one place in Washington where you could find bipartisanship emerging would be if 10 senators are 12. In a Senate that's divided, you know, basically 5050, you if you had 12 senators and I, you know, we can name them 66 that just said on these five things, we're going to stick together. And we're not going to, you know, we're not going to let the game be played the way it's being played. And we're going to solve these problems. The gang of 12 could actually probably dominate policy. Now, does that mean the house would go along with it? Maybe not. Does that mean President Biden should go along with it? Hell yeah. I mean, he got elected to be that kind of president. And if he was given that opportunity, I think he would kind of default back or move back to the mean, which is his lifelong, you know, career was one of trying to find common ground, at least on domestic issues. So I think it's possible. And we've seen elements of this that emerge, sometimes successfully, sometimes not the infrastructure bill, which is the great success story. The only, I mean, terrific success story. Well, that was that was the gang of I'm not sure it was 12 but it was close to it. So 12 out of 100. Just today, yesterday, the governor of Michigan, Governor Whitmer and the Republican legislature agreed on a quite significant infrastructure bill, same thing bipartisan basis, and it came out a committee on a unanimous vote. So I guess the principle Michael would be on the things you agree on, at least on the things you agree on, put aside everything and come together. And then you can argue about the things you don't agree on. Go back to Twitter. But there's a lot of stuff where there's that is not as ideologically driven, and where there's an emerging view. I mean, in DC, I'd say China now, we confront China there may be variations of the policy but I think there's a real belief that I think it was, it was correct to assume to hope at least that China would move towards western values. As they liberalize their economy. And the last four or five years under President she is pretty clear that's not the case. Oh, you know, during the Trump presidency and the Biden presidency, the policy has been very similar and Congress has been unified. Ukraine's another example, varying versions of the support we need, but there's consensus. So, I mean, we focus on the things where there's big disagreements or the crazy stuff. I mean, there's there's some bet, you know, what crazy stuff that is like six people that are appear more Putin pro Putin and pro Ukraine. I mean, that's Nate. That's just that's dumb. But they got massive attention, massive attention. And so, you know, there was 95% of the Republicans that that had a different view, they got no attention. It's, you know, so the focus is on the conflict and the controversy, not on the good government of bringing people together and forging consensus but I don't know. I think most people are so sick and tired of the hyper partisanship that there could be an emergence of candidates in both parties. I'm doing this because we have to solve these problems and I'm willing to to figure out a way to get to yes. You know, you got Senator Manchin, I call him governor because that's the higher job. He's fair enough. He's in a position where he can do that. And others probably should should, you know, figure out a way for them to play in that role as well. And I think that'd be really healthy. We'll see. I'm more heartened when I see what happens in at the state level where there are interesting things happening in a much more bipartisan way. They're still they're still, you know, they're still the hyperbole. There's still all the issues. But in general, it's different than what goes on at the nation's capital. Governor, you were mentioning to me the other day that one of the things you've been wondering about are the ways in which our culture and demography have been changing and how that influences what's going on in the political realm. I wonder if you could just reflect a bit on that. Sure. Well, demography is destiny in many ways. And our demography has changed pretty dramatically little by little and now it's accelerated. So we're thankfully as a as a, you know, Medicare beneficiary, I guess, you know, we're getting a year from now. My plan is to be a year older. And there are a lot of other people. It's the alternative. My age, my age group, my people, my age and up are the largest number that ever existed in American history. And so we are getting older. And behind us, our children are not forming families to the extent that they once did. They're deferring marriage and they're deferring having children. And so you see a decline in the fertility rate decline in family formation. And so, you know, the dependency ratio, which is this nerdy thing of people up to 18 and people over the age of 70 now are, you know, unsustainable for everybody else in the middle. And politically, the people my age and up dominate politics. And there are very few people that advocate entitlement reform to be able to provide resources for those in the middle and children that need, you know, to be able to be equipped to deal with the world we're in. So we have a $50 trillion net present value deficit in our entitlement programs. And it's like Alfred E. Newman, if you remember Mad Magazine, is what me worry. I mean, basically, you know, Alfred E. Newman is in charge of our entitlement policy. No problem. It's not going to happen. Republicans and Democrats alike, based on this new demographic trend of not rebuilding the pyramid either through a legal immigration system or a pro family system that would create, you know, a rebuilding of the base, it's unsustainable. It will bankrupt us. And it will crowd out all the expenditures that everybody wants, which is a strong national defense, Homeland Security, basic public health care dealing with the pandemic, all these other issues will subside because the automatic payments that are growing at a rate that is unsustainable. And no one is advocating changing that. No one that I'm aware of. You know, I had a plan as a candidate for president. It got no, I mean, I'm supposed to be the third rail and all that, but no one really cared. It wasn't like it was controversial because it wasn't, you know, I didn't insult someone. It was like, so I think we need enough oxygen to talk about the policy because you were talking about the policy. Exactly. And then so that's one element that's really disturbing that we're not dealing with. Those are those are facts. That's not opinion. And it changes how we, you know, the relationship we will have with our government. And the second is this big cultural change that my belief is the biggest cultural change of the last 50 years was the 60s created the so-called counterculture became the dominant culture with many benefits. The ability of women to rise to, you know, still a long way to go, I guess, but but significant progress as it relates to civil rights, progress as it relates to the rights of women. That all came from the counterculture of the 60s and and the freedom to choose many different options in life, you know, less constrained by convention. All of that created a burst of creativity and a lot of things, but it's kind of worn out. It's welcome. And in our culture needs to be reinvigorated in many ways. And maybe that's part of the solution of what you what, you know, what you're concerned about is a cultural change may make it more possible to focus less on D.C. More, you know, in our own lives and our own communities and our own families to find solutions that are whether they're on the left or right, more bottom up. And it also could change our culture towards reconciliation, towards this whole notion of finding common ground, of creating a shared identity again, because we don't have that now. We used to have, I think generally there was a consensus of what it is to be an American. And today I think that's in a deeply divided country. I'm not sure that one's definition is going to be the same than somebody else that has a different political view. If we could restore that and then have the debate in a more narrow kind of focus, I think we would be restoration democracy would happen quite naturally. So I think about cultural change more than I do, you know, the tick tock of the here and now in politics. And it's changing. I don't know where it's going. I told you I'd love to have the secret power to go four years or five years into the future and peek back to see what the heck's happening here. Because and I think all of this, by the way, is accelerated with the pandemic. Just mind numbing realizations of this conversation, you know, as a tiny example of it, but how you work, how you live, how you educate your children, how you receive health care. All of that was existed prior to the pandemic. The changes were happening. It's been the disruption has accelerated those things, some of which are going to be really positive for our country. But we have to change some policies to make sure that people can customize their lives now in ways that gives them purpose and meaning. They can't be left behind because they don't want to work for the man, you know. Governor, you mentioned immigration as one way to renew our society and culture. Obviously immigration reform has been stuck in D.C. for a long time. A lot of ways that we define ourselves as Americans are at least used to is as a nation of immigrants. My dad was an immigrant. I feel deeply about immigration policy. I know that's an area you've thought a lot about. What should we be doing to move forward on immigration reform? I wrote a book about this. I have to admit it wasn't the best seller. It's called Immigration Wars. It was written after the 2012 election where the anti-immigrant kind of feeling emerged more on the right than the left. But on the left, there's a politicization of the immigration policy. And on the right, there's a, not across the board nativist, but there's a belief that we, at best, we need to fix the illegal immigration policy, which I totally agree with. And change the laws as it relates to asylum. There's reforms that are necessary to all countries should have the right to protect their borders. We shouldn't have a de facto open border policy. And by the way, that's a winning political issue. That's a 75-80% issue. And if Democrats are, you know, if they don't watch it, they're going to be harmed by this because of the number of people that have come in cutting in line of people who've waited very patiently in our legal system. I believe we should reform our legal system as well to make it look, to take advantage of the fact that we are a nation of immigrants. And that the vitality that legal immigration brings to our country is so exceptional and extraordinary. And so much, it's our one advantage that we have at scale in any country in the world. And yet, you know, we're trying to compete in the world with one hand tied behind our back with the current immigration policy. So there's common ground here, but you got to get past the argument of, on the one hand, saying that there's, you know, civil rights for immigrants that just cross the border, that they have the right to come. You know, 90% of the people that come across eventually two or three years later because of the overwhelming nature of the number of people coming that have claimed asylum, 90% receive a deportation order because they can't prove that they have a well-founded fear of persecution. And none of them, or very few of them actually will show up for the deportation hearing, you know, where they're sent back. So that's very upsetting. And then on the other side, we have people that are sent signals that are, you know, they believe that immigrants are not going to embrace the American ideal, the American experience. And there's no evidence of this. Legal immigrants are, you know, create, they have less demands on government. They commit less crimes. They form more businesses. They are making contributions, irrespective of the little income when they come that pay their own way. And at the high end in the technology fields, it's essential for our continued superiority in the fields that are going to be the most dramatically impactful for prosperity for the country. So, gosh, I mean, it seems, you know, we've been arguing about this now for 20 years, and we're not closer, we're further away from finding common ground. That gang of 12, whoever, that may be a little more courage required on this one, but that would be a good place to start, don't you think? I think it would. I think it would. Let's talk about education reform. And then in a few minutes, we're going to invite our students to join us. Sure. We've spent decades working on education reform issues. We're coming out of a very rough period during the pandemic that really disproportionately hurt low-income students and students from distressed communities economically, whether rural or urban. I wonder how you think about where we are and, you know, as we're coming hopefully out of the pandemic, what areas you think we should be focused on? Well, I think there are a couple of things that have happened. Parents are more engaged and more aware of their kids' education because they, in many places, they took over, either as a partner with a teacher remotely or basically taking over the whole thing with very little interaction. With very little interaction with the schools. And so there's heightened awareness and that's good because ultimately any sustainable reform is going to require parental support and parental involvement. The pandemic brought out a couple of really powerful points, which is if you're going to create a shutdown strategy to deal with a virus, you need to focus on all of the impacts of shutting down the economy, shutting down schools, forcing families to be quarantined. Because the social costs of this are enormous. The learning losses are real. You can't automatically snap your finger and just automatically have those be regained. And frankly, the more open the schools were in states like Florida, there's no evidence that there's a higher infection rate that impacted teachers or impacted adults or impacted children than the ones that shut down and barely are thinking about coming back now. So hopefully we learn from these lessons and have a broader policy as it relates to future kind of crisis like this. The good news is parents are now more engaged and more interested in having the ability to choose what's best for their children. So you've seen an increase in the number of students going to charter schools. You've seen an increase the number of kids their homeschooled by a dramatic number and that's actually sustained itself after the opening began. And traditional schools have begun to see a decline. So I think everybody has to realize in order to get the students to come back to their schools, they're going to have to offer something that's more relevant for parents. Point number one, point number two, there's a huge digital divide in our country, and this became more apparent because of the pandemic. Part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill $40 billion is available to bring broadband into the urban core areas where broadband is too expensive or doesn't it doesn't exist and into the rural areas where it's it's very difficult. Very few places can you access broadband. And so that has to be done because hybrid learning is going to be a fact of life as well. And so our foundation is an advocate for a strategy as it relates to using this, the federal dollars to match with state dollars and philanthropy to be able to eliminate the digital divide, which can be done if we were serious about it. It's one of those big, hairy audacious goals that doesn't have the ideological tinge to it to be done. And then, and then the final thing I'd say is that the, I'm passionate about early childhood literacy. There is enough evidence to suggest that there are ways irrespective of, you know, when kids, when they start kindergarten. It'd be great to have a pre case strategy as well. But you can overcome these these gaps if teachers are well trained in the science of reading to teach kids how to read and a command focus on it. So by the end of third grade, they are basic readers rather than below basic readers. And that challenge is a challenge that's doable again, if we're serious about it, and it would deal with a lot of the divides over the long haul. If we at least started there, we work in 40 states, predominantly, you know, with conservative reform reformers. And there is a bipartisan consensus about early childhood education being part of this. I just, I think we should be have a little more edge to it. We shouldn't just say we're for it. We actually ought to have a gate that says if you're functionally littered by the end of third grade, you're going to be held back. We're going to make damn sure that we're going to develop another strategy to assure that your child can read before fourth grade starts where you're, you're reading to, you know, to learn things rather than learning how to read. My hope is that that isn't, you know, the unions get nervous about things where they're held to account. But in general, moms and dads know that their child has to be able to be functionally literate by the end of third grade in order to be successful in life. So I think I think the pandemic has brought out some challenges that creates opportunities for policymakers. And, and Michael, the good news is, I don't think I mentioned the word federal government or DC and that whole diatribe. This is not a DC issue. And so it can be done. You know, they're very bird varying versions of what I just described that might be different expressed by a Democrat governor than a Republican one. But the action is done in at the state capitals where there is, you know, a broader possibility of consensus. I wonder, Governor, there are these areas of consensus that I think are really important, but they're also at the state level, some pretty serious areas of division. Yep. No, I think how do you think about navigating that, you know, on the one hand you have this potential for a focus on literacy and early childhood education. But a lot of the heat right now is around things like banning the teaching of the history of racism in the United States, or in Florida even saying you're not allowed to talk about parents who are not traditional parents in heterosexual families, you know, thinking about the concern about limitation on the teaching of either racial history or teaching about gays and lesbians and alternative family structures or transgender youth. How do you think about how to have those conversations in a way that is building consensus again and not in these very divisive modes of acting? Yeah, I mean, these are these cultural issues are tough for sure. I, you know, I saw, I don't know if you've read the veto message of Governor Cox from Utah, who vetoed a bill that prohibited transgender students to participate in women's sports. I assume it was just women's sports. And, you know, his point was this, there are three, I think they've identified three young high school students that were in transition that were participating women's sports. But the signal this ends is to a much broader audience, and that we should show love and compassion. And I, you know, he recognized the fact that there ought to be rules around this issue. And I don't think people disagree with that people, you know, there's a fact the Olympic Committee and other NCA there, they actually have crafted rules that would made it made it more difficult next year for the woman that was that is in transition that became, you know, collegiate record holder, who was on the males pin swimming team last year and now is participating as a woman. So there are solutions to this. But it does require a little bit of humility and understanding and avoidance of these hot button issues where it's appropriate. So, you know, the, should we talk about curriculum in schools? Should parents have some say in the curriculum schools, I think that's an 80% most people say yes they want to know at least there should be transparency. But should we ban books? No, we shouldn't be banning books. There should be an allowance of free expression and as the older you go in the K-12 system, the more you have of that. I don't think, you know, I don't want my grandchildren to be taught about sex of any kind. Identification or preference or how whatever it is, I don't, you know, in third grade, I don't think it's appropriate. And I think a majority of American parents would agree with that. But there are a lot of places where that are broader that I think the policymakers ought to focus on this rather than these hot button issues that are that are narrow. Michael, you brought up the impact that you believe is going to be of this, don't say gay, it's called by the opponents of the bill. I don't think that's going to be the impact. It's, you know, unfortunately the language was vague enough for people to surmise what it might be. But I think the principal objective of that was to say that K-3 student children should not be receiving any information about any of this stuff. That's the role of the parent. So we'll see how it plays out. But man, I mean, one bill of 500 that were presented to the Florida legislature probably got 90% of the attention and it was national. And, you know, people are raising money on both sides of this issue over the internet because it became one of those kind of cultural deals that dominates the political discourse in our country. Well, that is a deep and important issue. I think we're going to have to continue to discuss at another day because I want to invite our first of our Ford School students to join us. Bianca Shaw. So Bianca, do you want to come on in and offer up your question? Yes, of course. Thank you, Dean Barr. And thank you, Governor Bush, for being a part of this important conversation. So as was mentioned earlier, I'm a part of the central student government here at U of N. And as a part of CSG, I've made efforts to increase civic engagement and student turnout through assisting and essentially navigating the voter registration and voting process. So as I am an out of state student myself, I know firsthand that there's a lot of barriers already to voting such as switching your voting registration, having different addresses each year, not having a state issued ID and more. And I work to promote the civic engagement as I want every individual's rightful voice on this campus to be heard, regardless of their party affiliation. However, throughout the country, we have now seen various voter suppression efforts founded on claims of voter fraud. These pieces of legislation often compound the diminishment of minority voices by disenfranchising black and brown voters. As voting is a key pillar of democracy, what measures should be taken to help work these targeted efforts and ensure that the right to vote is indeed a right for all Americans. So, Bianca, describe to me the voter suppression issues that passed in Florida was an example where there was a belief that that happened or Georgia or Texas. What are the elements of the bills that would suppress the votes since lack voter participation in, I don't know about Texas, but certainly Florida and Georgia is has been at historical high. And the amount of time available for voting prior to the election day is longer in Georgia and in Florida than it is in Delaware, where President Biden resides or New York or other states that are perceived to be more open for this. So there may be elements of the suppression that it would be helpful for me to understand because then I could answer your question maybe a little better. Sure. So part of what I'm talking about is voter registration as it relates to mail in voting where a lot of people because election is not a national holiday, people may have jobs or they're not able to get off to get off of work, especially if they were part time jobs or jobs that have less flexible schedules, or I've also seen legislation that limits what election officials can actually do in terms of helping and staying open and different different policies such as that that relate to those days on actual election day. So again, the states that have been accused of suppressing the vote actually have longer times for early voting than than many states that haven't changed their laws and haven't been accused of suppressing the vote. So as it relates to one of the one of the challenges that has come up is that during the pandemic we had extraordinary measures necessary to be able to have the vote take place in different counties because this is all administered by jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Unless you have a standardized state law, which Florida has had, I was governor in 2000, and we learned our lesson about decentralized voting rules. And so we created a single standard. But when you have executive orders done by mayors and in one part of the state that circumvent the law to allow for what they believe to be the proper way of doing things. And then the pandemic ends, you know, the law probably ought to be standardized again. So I totally agree that we should not be suppressing the vote. And I think it should be easy to do. And in most places it is and I think I'd say the one thing that I would disagree with is states that have absentee ballots that are not postmarked by Election Day. So I mean, there's some simple things that I think we can do to standardize the process to make sure that every vote is counted. But it ought to be based on facts because I know for a fact that voter participation, particularly in 2020, but certainly in 16 as well, is at an all time high, which is good. But, you know, it's the reason why, if you're a Democrat, you loved it because there's two senators in Georgia that got elected. And Joe Biden carried a state that a Democrat hadn't won in, you know, remember the last time probably had to be Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter, I think. Yeah. So those laws that were supposed to be suppressing the vote turned out to have created a bluer outcome in a state that traditionally was read. Bianca. Thank you Bianca. Let's invite in Michael Hauser to ask the final student question. Hi, Governor Bush. Thanks for your time. My question is about the role of religion in American political life and as it relates to democratic resilience. In the end of an opening statement you made at the Nexus Institute in the spring of 2016. You said that in attempting to uphold democracy. We need to learn to be warm hearted again. And you said that our first impulse is to be more interested in others than we are in ourselves and I couldn't agree more with that. In the United States, the cultivation of virtues like respect, kindness, generosity have often come from religious institutions. And that being said, given that religious leaders still maintain an influential role in influencing political behavior. How can policymakers work with religious leaders to advocate for the preservation of democratic norms and institution in an age where denominational affiliation is as likely an indicator of political preference as any other demographic characteristic. Thanks. Wow. That's a brilliant question. I'm not sure. You probably have a better answer on this than I do, but I would say, first of all, as a practicing Catholic, a convert. So I became a Catholic because my wife, I wanted to go to Mass with my wife and my children, you know, to grow up in the Catholic traditions. I was a cheating Catholic. I go to Mass, but I was an Episcopalian. So I went through the RCA process and it was an important part. It is today still an important part of my life, my personal life. And I never felt like it should it should always be an important part of my public life as well. But you don't put your deeply held moral views that come from religious traditions in a lockbox. And I think at least in the Catholic tradition, what you described as loving your neighbor, having compassion for those that have been left behind a sense of social justice. All of that is embedded in the Catholic traditions that have existed for many, many centuries. So not all people of faith embrace that. They see moral decline and they see, you know, they've embraced people that frankly don't embrace their own faith. And that conflict, I'm not an expert on why it exists. But I do think that it's a noble tradition in our country to openly express your faith in a way that's not like, you know, you're not casting judgment on others that don't embrace it. But it should be allowed on the public square and that we should have free expression, including religious faith. And frankly, if we did the conversation that Michael and I had prior to you getting coming on on the on the video probably be easier to do because we would, we would, you know, we could agree to disagree again. We could recognize that not everybody starts out in life the same way that we have an obligation and duty to lift people up. There's a lot of things that whether you're a conservative or a liberal, you could embrace all of which are financial foundational aspects of religion and faith. So I hope you stick with this in your in your studies, but more importantly in your in the career to come and I appreciate the service you've already provided our country. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. Governor we're almost at the time but I wanted to ask just one last question you talked about at the beginning about the role your family played in teaching you public service and you have clearly passed that down to the next generation. When you're thinking about our students at the Ford School, and they're starting out their lives are undergraduates and our master's students going off into public service. What advice would you give to them. I would first advice would be, don't, don't automatically default to DC for public service. In fact, I would say in terms of policy, you could gain your policy chops far quicker in a more merit based system, which would be local and state government. When I was governor, we were it was a reform time and we were doing all sorts of things and I relied on younger people because I couldn't afford the, the experienced people we, we, you know, we have budget constraints and that's still to this day the case in most governments outside of Washington. And so I learned the skill of finding talents in people before they knew it. And so, you know, and now my alumni is comprised of people whose, whose life experiences I think were accelerated because they didn't go to DC. They became subject matter experts in fields that really irrelevant for the rest of their lives and they did that in little Tallahassee. So the first advice I would give is certainly that and the second is don't, you know, don't veer off. You've gone to a great school. And you've done it because you want to serve in the public arena. Don't be discouraged. In fact, you're needed. I'm demanding that you stay involved for the sake of our country. It's time for the old funny buddies to take the lead the stage. Frankly, I'm not for term limits by age, but come on, man. People, people are just clawing for sticking around and we need to let the next generation rise up in positions of responsibility. And so graduates of the Bush School and College Station and the Ford School, the Kennedy School, I think can can play a really constructive role in that regard, Michael. Thanks very much, Governor. I've really enjoyed this conversation. I know our viewers have as well and I really appreciate your time this afternoon. Thanks so much for joining us at the Ford School. God bless. Thanks. Take care. See ya.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq23wNYMDF4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Or what happens when there's a severe drought and that land is not producing a good crop? I really think that it's our job as producers to make sure that we're looking at the big picture, that we're not just looking at a snapshot in time.

It goes way beyond your typical medical school preparation. Stick around for intel on the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Thank you for joining me on my channel. This is Write Your Acceptance. Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss any videos. Hi, I'm Dr. Josie with Write Your Acceptance. I coach students on their personal statements and secondaries, so let's get started. So the Miller School of Medicine has a lot to boast about. I've accomplished faculty, incredible research, and experienced spanning decades. We'll go into a little bit of the history, but here's their mission statement. So from the design of the first cardiopulmonary simulator, Harvey, from medical education to our seminal contributions in the field of cellular therapeutics, the Miller School remains at the forefront of advances in clinical care, medical education, and translational medicine. So they have a ton of acolytes. They're ranked number one in their ophthalmology department program, and they have the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and it's the only NCI designated cancer center in the region. So let's get into a little bit of their history. The Leonard Miller School of Medicine was founded in 1952. It was the first medical school in the state of Florida. It now, I'll tell you, includes 21 clinical departments, six basic science departments, 45 centers and institutes, 23 administrative groups, and 1,400 faculty members. It is pretty competitive in the rankings. It continues to move up as of about 2017. It was 44. Then the last few years have had a very interesting kind of strategic evolution and growth as a program. They are under the stewardship of Dr. Henry Ford. He is dean and chief academic officer, and there's this culture of change and adaptability in a positive way. I think that we should note, because it's very easy to say we value diversity or we value this or that serving our community, and most medical schools do absolutely, but not many will share their internal conversations and emphasis and work on this type of principles. So, and UM does, so I wanted to share that with you. I'm going to link all of these in the description, but I wanted to share that in October 2018, Dean Ford engaged Brandeis University to kind of do like an external review of the program, in particular kind of the faculty members and how they were feeling about their position within the program, about kind of compensation, ethos, work ethic, professionalism, diversity, all that stuff. And basically within, it took a few months and then they kind of got this very lengthy report and they basically had like five themes that they wanted to work on or that they were successfully doing already. And those were mentoring, gender equity, research, faculty, diversity, and institutional factors. Right away UM kind of enacted 85 small, but kind of very quick changes to their program kind of, you know, mandates and practices. And so a lot of them improved four domains, institutional culture, which is very, very important for med students, right? Research and development, compensation, and faculty affairs, and professional development. So those are the kind of the four domains that they worked on. So let's talk about curriculum. The University of Miami has what they call the next gen MD curriculum. It has six hospitals that students kind of gain experience from, 40 specialty clinics, and about 3,000 teaching beds. In fact, the UM Jackson Medical Center is the second busiest medical center in the country. They have nearly 60,000 admissions, 12,000 surgeries, 7,000 deliveries, 102,000 emergency cases, and more than 500,000 adult outpatient every year. So when you enter as a medical student at the Miller School, you kind of are part of one of 12 academic societies. And it's a great kind of mentorship that the medical program has kind of enacted for med students. So the academic societies allow for, encourage a mentorship process that will kind of stay with the student and support the student throughout their medical education. But then also even help with the residency application process. So that's a great kind of support system built in for success as a med student there. Another dimension of the Miller experience and my favorite to chat about with students is the community outreach opportunities. So I just wanted to plug this idea for a second. Hopefully you're watching this video to learn more about the Miller School of Medicine at UM. But maybe you are applying already and you are about to write your secondaries. This is a great video to kind of really learn the particulars of how you see yourself living and learning in this program. Too many times when students are writing their secondaries, you can be bombarded by the, you know, a sheer number of secondaries you need to write about. And then the why us secondaries kind of start to sound a little generic. I will link below. I have a template that students can work through. But this is the type of specificity and detail that really robust research of the program and getting to know the program will allow you to make a better, stronger case for best fit, right? So namely the specific community outreach service projects, kind of content connecting them with what you've already done, probably, that may be interesting. So there is the first one and these are just a few highlights, but the first one is the wolves and docks. And so this is founded in 2000 and they got a nice kind of injection of funds in 2006 and we're able to kind of grow. They basically bring health screenings and preventative care to over 1500 patients. They do health fairs in about eight kind of underprivileged pockets of the Miami and South Florida communities. And so they are really doing some very, very important work. The, some of the screenings are for hypertension, diabetes, vision loss, obesity, depression, colon, breast cancer, cervical and skin cancer. So it's a very, very robust team to serve our community. The next one is the idea exchange. This was the first legal program in Florida and it identifies newly infected individuals with HIV and help them kind of educate them into accessing treatment as soon as possible. Another one is the shop docs. It was founded in 2016 and it brings preventative care and education to the black community in barber shops from blood pressure testing while men get their hair cut to discussions on nutrition and exercise and blood pressure and heart disease. It really kind of is an interesting, great way of learning about the community here and kind of meeting patients where they're at. The next one is pediatric mobile clinic and so this serves underserved underprivileged communities in Miami-Dade. They set up near schools, near churches and try to kind of serve as many children as possible in the community. Although there's definitely more, the last one I'll chat about is the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center's firefighter cancer initiative. So the primary goal is to really learn about why there is such a high case of cancer among the firefighting community. It's a better document and to better understand kind of lifestyle and dangers of the field and how they could be addressed better. The cool thing about this firefighter initiative is that they're also kind of developing new ways to reduce the risk. So it's not only kind of learning and documenting what is going on in this profession but also kind of how to help reduce the cancer risks. So let's move on to clinical and research experiences as a Miller medical student. Like I mentioned, they are the best in ophthalmology by US News and World Reports. They have been number one for 19 times and they have quite a few research centers to learn about. Center for hereditary retinal disease, ocular epidemiology research group, biostatistic center. They also have the retinal immacular degeneration research. You also have the Sylvester Cancer Research Center. And so if you've been doing work in cancer research of any kind, that may be interesting to kind of link in your secondaries. Are you applying to the U.M. Miller School of Medicine? Comment below. We'd love to know. Okay, so let's move on to class profile and details on getting in. So each year the class looks like just shy of 200 to 198 students as the entering class. About 150 go into the MD program and about 48, so just shy of 50, go into the MD-PhD program. You have to be a US citizen or permanent resident to begin the program. Because the state of Florida doesn't subsidize, this is a private program, private university, there is no longer a preferential treatment to a Florida residence. The cast protest is required, so that is something to look into for sure. And so how does the application kind of process go? An application is scored individually by three panel members, admission committee members. So the factors are a GPA, MCAT, diversity of experience. This is where the personal statement comes in. Clutch, right? Meaningful patient contact. Again, very important to show those patient-centric experiences and lessons learned in your personal statement and activity section, right? And so then the scores are tabulated and then they go from like highest students ranked points system, right? So the students that receive the highest points will start being invited for interviews first. The average GPA of kind of undergraduate GPA for their entering class was at a 3-7, a 3-6 for science. And the MCAT kind of average is 505 to 515. I always love to know what students majored in, and so they actually have this on the site. I will link it below. From one class profile, they had anthropology, biochemistry, biology, bio-med engineering, chemistry, classics, economics, English, foreign language, genetics, human biology, international relations, mathematics. So they do have a wide range of pre-meds coming in with, as long as you have your pre-med classes, right? With other interests and focuses. They also have their match percentages and where students matched for the last 10 years on their site. So I'll definitely link that below. I hope you found this video helpful to kind of get an idea of the middle school and what they have to offer. And if you're writing those secondaries, this is super, super important to make sure that you are kind of, you know, really giving a specific compelling case as to why this is the best fit for you. And if you are in the process of writing your personal statement, you can book your free strategy called with me and learn how I work with students. That is in the description below. My template for the white us and the secondaries are below. You got some goodies down there. So thanks for watching. Give us a like if you found it helpful and I'll see you soon. Bye.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq-vPMDnDxA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCXANkvh05ezwzYg90rdZk9Q	Interview With Navy Diver Aboard USNS Grasp 1	Navy Diver 1st Class Ryan Conley, from Mobile Diving and salvage Unit Two, talks about his work with civil service mariners from Military Sealift Command rescue and salvage ship USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51) and how they are supporting the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency for the recovery of U.S. Airmen declared MIA in 1945 when their B-24J bomber went down off the Italian coast.	[ "United States Navy", "USN", "C6F", "Sixth Fleet", "Sailor" ]	2015-10-16T13:04:18	2024-02-08T20:29:24	155	ZqKQnXrXi64	My name is Ryan Conley, a Navy Diver First Class. I'm assigned to Mobile Diving Salvation Unit 2 at Muncie Company 2-4. Right now we are on a DPA mission off the coast of Grotto, Italy, you know, in hopes to recover some fallen airmen back from World War II. Day in the life, I normally wake up, you know, around 0-700, set up dive site, get everything going, dive supervisors make sure all the paperwork signed, good to go. The divers on the dive site make sure all the gear is ready, and all the OPs are done, operating procedures are done, and then, so that way we can dive. Take a quick, a quick break, eat some breakfast, and we'll be briefing the divers at 8.30, and we'll be doing dive ops until about 16-1700. Divers will go down, and they rig up the baskets down there. What we have is we have dredging tools that use fire main inductors to suck essentially a vacuum cleaner, and basically we're vacuuming up the sand on the bottom. So once we vacuum up, basically we grid off the areas, we'll vacuum up, and once we're either done with the area that has been gridded off, we will bring up the basket. At that point, we will get the ship crew to help us out, the ship's boasting. He's operating the cranes, and we'll do a pick, we'll pick out the baskets. Once the baskets are on deck, then the archeologists and the DPAA team will sift through the baskets and look for any type of materials. The grass crew is real awesome. They do really well supporting operations. The crew's mess provides good food for us to carry out normal day-to-day operations. The ship's boasting, they all are 100% on board with what we're doing, so it's real quick, real good turnaround times, and the crew and us work real well together. I feel this platform is great. It's a design diving vessel. It has good rigging capabilities for salvage, for lifting items. We've got capsins, we've got cranes, as well as a diving system on board. That's very helpful. We don't have to bring out our own equipment because a lot of the equipment's already here. It's an MSC billet for a master diver, but all the equipment's already here. It makes it a lot easier for the team as opposed to having to bring their own gear.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqKQnXrXi64", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the Wednesday edition. This is the 10 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network Market Update on the 10th of April and we're looking on this Wednesday with the CPI art. You know prices are going up and we've been talking about that for a little while. So the dial is down almost 500, down 493,000, 38,000, 370,000. I'll discuss this arch patent. I was talking about it actually for a few days. I showed the Chapman web inside, wedge, target, support line. We went right through it this morning. The left side, right side price, time match, etc. Anyway, the nine period moving average is negative. S&P right now is down 55, 51, 54. The nine period moving average is still green, but it is really close to turning pink and that'll be a cell signal, probably upgraded to a cell mode if it does that today. But it's gone through the inside track support level, QQQ and already being pink. So it's negative and it's down four at 438. It's underneath key support level, watching this very closely to see where it closes. IWM, I was hoping to see some kind of strength in the IWM, the Russell 2000 to say we might see the really big caps start to pull back and small caps start to find support, not yet. Down five at 201 and the nine period moving average just turned negative. The day's young. We have to see if it stays that way through the close. Gold is pulling back a little. It's down nine at 2353. It was down sharp. It's at a peak. This is where other things can happen. It should be pulling back. But wow, money keeps coming in. But look at this, the dollar. The dollar is up huge. The dollar is at 104.91 up 80 cents. I think it's still going to go to the leg D in the weekly charts. That's very good. But those bonds, wow, bonds are down almost one and a half points. So they're making lower lows and therefore the yields are going higher. I don't think this market can take that much longer and crude oil. Let's see, we crude this thing right now. It is down five ticks. The five cents at 85.18 hasn't made that leg D yet. So there's a lot to discuss because I want to show you these nine period moving averages to see whether or not we're getting daily sell signals and what would it take to do that and what does it imply? A lot coming up for the next hour. Check out my opening call daily newsletter and I will see you in a few minutes.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ5Q3yeu8vk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCjnmZw3h4XnpK3e5D2jvIGA	STM32CubeIDE Advanced Debug Features: Part 2	Find out more information: http://bit.ly/STM32CubeIDE-AdvDebug Development board used: http://bit.ly/NUCLEO-F401RE STM32CubeIDE quick start guide: http://bit.ly/CubeIDE-QuickStart Learn how to create your STM32-based application using STM32CubeIDE and use its Advanced Debug Features to enhance your debugging skill set with the NUCLEO-F401RE board and use this knowledge as the basis for your own application using any STM32 with ARM Cortex M3/M4/M7/M23 or M33 cores. The STM32CubeIDE can be used to create applications for STM32 devices using STM32Cube libraries (HAL and Low Layer versions) and this video series will cover the features for debugging one simple application firmware using that as the basis and augment the debug experience by using the Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) and the Serial Wire Viewer (SWV) with several different hands-on sessions to explain all possible views and setups in the debug session. The code example used in this video series can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/AdvDebugMaterials In this video: Learn how to use the STM32CubeIDE options available when first opening the tool and how to import a project into the workspace. A full code and the pin allocation explanation is covered as well as the basic commands and shortcut keys used in the STM32CubeIDE. A step by step tutorial on how to update the ST-LINK firmware version is included. The S-TLINK is embedded debugger in the NUCLEO-F401, and it is the hardware used to debug and program the core. Learn how to configure the Debug interface to use the Serial Wire Viewer and the basic usage of Live Expressions view, while in debug session. Learn how read and use the advantageous graphical view for the binary and memory footprint usage provided by the STM32CubeIDE.	[ "ST", "STMicro", "STMicroelectronics", "&s5hQ4xYa9L2th_#" ]	2020-11-05T16:26:43	2024-02-05T08:03:06	833	Zqwq9nzTNF8	Hello, and welcome to the second video of the STM32 Cube ID Advanced Debug Features. I'm Bruno and I'll be your host for this series. Alright, so now we are finally on the Cube ID ecosystem. This is just how the first window will actually open for you guys for the very first time. And as you can see, there are four major options from the get go, which includes how to start a new project from scratch, start a new project from an existing Cubemax configuration, or import from either the True Studio or the System Workbench for STM32, or the new feature available on the 1.4.0 release, which is the import from actually a cube example. So what I'm gonna do is actually, I already have this one project made for this video, so I'm gonna just ignore those four options and I'm gonna go through the file and open a project from file system. And then I'm just gonna type here the path for the project that I've created. It's meant for an F401 based on our nuclear board and I'll make sure that the links for that is on the video description as well and the code is available on our GitHub page, so you guys can give a closer look to that and be actually simpler to follow through. But since I've loaded my project here, I can actually browse a little bit through the folders and let me just start by showing the configuration for that. So if you ask me, hey, I'm gonna change the perspective so I can fit everything that is meant to be seen on the Cubemax side of it. So I'm gonna hit yes and I can actually see the screen appearing for the Cubemax. Alright, so we are initialization the device configuration tool and there it is, we can see how the pins were allocated. So let me just make sure you guys are aware of the system core and the C's. So I've added the debug trace asynchronous, it's the last option here. So once I do this, the SWO pin becomes enabled. So that's through this particular pin that we are gonna see all the advanced debug features. So that's one thing to keep in mind. And the other one that I added is just a simple LED here which I gave the name of LD2 because I'm very creative with the names. And the last thing that is very important for us to keep in mind is the clock configuration. So the first thing that we actually need to make sure that we are aware is that the frequency here is known to us because this frequency is something that we have to input in the debugger configuration to actually make sure that the output of the information of the advanced features through the SWO is actually matching with the CPU frequency. Alright, so since these two features are already done, I can go over and use the shortcut key to generate the project which is ALT plus K or I can always go through here and actually generate my code. So it will say, hey, I'm gonna change the perspective associated with that and yes, that's something you should be doing for me and the code is actually gonna start. So like I said, this is a project that I've already created for this video so let me just dig into the code and explain each and every line so we are on the same page. The first thing that I added is this particular include that will allow me to at some point use the print dive function. Then I've created this define here to actually allow me to use the internal trace macro cell so I can either monitor time or just bring very simple information through this. I've created two global variables. So one is called loop and the other one is called data. All the other parts of the code were created automatically by the cube. So those are actually things and functions that were created. I didn't had to interface and as you guys can probably see all the code that I added are within the user code begin and user code and brackets on the comments. That's how we can make sure that our code will not be changed by the automatically generated feature. So here I've just added the internal trace port just changing it to value number one and initializing the GPIO. This is also done by default by the cube. Then I'm using the printf function saying hey the GPIO initialization is done and then I change the value of the same port of the internal macro cell from one to two and then finally on our main loop. I'm just saying hey I'm on the main loop and then I'm tangling a GPIO adding delay and then printing against and hey I'm under this amount of number of the loop counter incrementing my loop counter and checking if it's higher than 100 then I just assign it to zero and 15 second delay and make another choice to either increment the data by five or decrement it by 1000. And that's pretty much the entire code. So since this one is my entire code now I can build it so there's a bunch of ways that we can perform this action. The easiest one is pressing control plus B or the longer version is going through the project and making a build all. So here we can see that all files are being compiled and once that is done I should get the zero error, zero warning message which is basically the desire and dream for every programmer. And just one small thing since the QBid relies on GCC the way that the low level function of the printf works is actually through a function called underscore write so we can here see through the navigation that I actually created my own write so the printf is using the internal trace same char function to actually output things so that is the way to avoid spending or using one UART for the printf function. All right so now that my code is done and it's compiled I can go through the debug and configure for the very first time so what I want to do is go through here and select debug yes and then I can go through the SDM32 application and once I click it's also going to say hey there's a newer version of the yes to link that is attached and it's asking if I want to update the version of the board as the link that I have and I'm just going to say yes so you guys can see the flow for that. So this window will pop up for us and all we have to do is just open in update mode you're going to see that the version is going to be shown to us and the current version and the updated version so I'm just going to say hey yes update that for me and there we have it it's already done so I can just close this window here and I'll set so if I go through the debug once again and go to the debug configuration then I can actually get a glimpse of how the tabs work for me. So the first thing that we want to make sure is that under the name the debug name is a match for the project that we are using. So I've used a very creative name again so it called debug so the binary file the ELF file is also called debug and for the debugger tab itself all I have to do is make sure that I'm selecting the debug probe that I have so in this nuclear board that I'm using is the ST-Link GDB server. One very important thing is that if I have more than one ST-Link connected I can always specify which one I want to use allowing this checkbox and clicking scan so we can see the serial number for the ST-Link that I'm using and if I were to debug a second one just make sure that the port number here is a different one than the default otherwise it will conflict through the GDB server. So once this is all set and done I have to enable the serial wire viewer to actually see the advanced features so here I'm going to just enable and make sure that the clock frequency is a match to the core clock frequency that I selected on the application as you guys recall it's h4 megahertz so this is already properly done so right now all I have to do is just hit debug and the application will be loaded onto the MCU so it's actually programming the MCU and I also have the information if I want to switch the perspective from the code editing to the debug edit alright so now I'm on the debug interface we can actually see on top that the icons have changed I have other options right now and I'm assuming that the basics are already known to you guys otherwise we do have awesome videos covering the basics for QBiD I'm going to leave the video in the link on the descriptions with the links and what I'm going to do right now is use the live expression which is still a basic feature but can really save some time so I'm just going to add those two variables here the loop and also the data and once I hit play without any breakpoints or holding the CPU I'll be able to actually see those two numbers just changing following the code instructions so there we have it, we can see the variables changing and being updated on their own but this is still the basic features but even though it's a basic feature we went through all the needed aspects of the code and the debug configuration to actually allow us to enhance and go through the advanced features that we're going to cover through individual features from now on and a few extra good information for us to be aware that the ID can provide are the footprint for the flash so we do have the build analyzer and the static stack which will get you an overview of the amount of footprint that your application is taking from flash, from run or for any linker file that you added on your own so that will be shown on the build analyzer and the static stack analyzer will actually explode this view and tell you hey on this given source file you're consuming this amount of flash and even further from this particular source file you have these functions and each one of those functions consume this other amount of flash so this is a value information if you ever need to optimize your code and then we have the output for the binary you guys saw that I was using the .elf file for the debug session but we can actually choose to have a .bin or .x that are more usual and standardized patterns of file to actually load your product into the platform so from our overall takeaway perspective we went through the serial wire debug, we managed to get the basic working we prepared a code to run the serial wire viewer and we added that on the configuration and now for the next videos we are finally digging into the advanced features which is the last step of this video tutorial so thank you again for watching up until this point I hope to see you on the next videos where we are actually digging through everything and just as a general reminder we do have the basic things being covered through another video series and the link is on our description so again thank you for watching and see you soon on the other videos	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqwq9nzTNF8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCNh_kQgg0_z7cQ5ophpdgJA	UNCTAD eWeek: Daniele Tricarico, GSMA	How can posts support small business in Africa in scaling up local e-commerce? UPU asked Daniele Tricarico, GSMA, about the main challenges facing African MSMEs and the potential of the African postal sector to help them overcome those barriers. Recorded as part of the UNCTAD eWeek 2023.	null	2024-01-24T13:49:46	2024-04-18T18:07:18	277	ZQsnZPr9OEk	We have recently published a new study, a new report on the opportunity for e-commerce in Africa and for this study We have interviewed a thousand five hundred MSMEs across six markets in Africa So it's a very extensive study that really looks at the challenges as well as the opportunities to scale up e-commerce solutions in the region So this study very well portrays some of these challenges So first and foremost one of the main issue that comes up is access to finance So MSMEs really mention in open-ended questions the need to get more and better as well, financial instruments e-commerce can be a solution particularly when it comes to e-commerce platforms that can provide end-to-end solutions to MSMEs So this is really the value of Amazon-like type of solutions which onboard MSMEs and provide end-to-end not only access to markets but also access to delivery services and payments There is also an opportunity for the postal network to contribute to the delivery challenge in particular and in particular to reach out customers and users and MSMEs in rural areas Then the other challenge that we are seeing emerging is certainly the quality of mobile infrastructure and in particular the quality of the mobile internet So mobile internet is widely available for MSMEs across Sub-Saharan Africa but at GSMA we talk about the usage gap So there are about 600 plus million population who are covered by the mobile broadband network in Sub-Saharan Africa but are not using it So there is really an opportunity to leverage e-commerce solutions as a relevant service that obviously provides access to markets to MSMEs to really drive that usage because customers and MSMEs need relevant services so certainly access to market linkages is a relevant solution And then of course other challenges that we are seeing are the availability of affordable phones particularly smartphones and also the cost of mobile data This is something that the industry and the government need to work on to really drive those prices down Sometimes taxation is an issue for affordable devices, affordable data services and this really can hinder e-commerce adoption by MSMEs Another point that is really important to mention is that if we look at e-commerce in Africa it is mostly experienced by a social media platform So social commerce is dominant 60% of all MSMEs we surveyed across the six African countries that we surveyed for this study experienced or used e-commerce solely purely on social media and this is very actually informal It's an informal use of social media platforms whereby an MSME, a micro-entrepreneur for example, my updates on a daily basis, their WhatsApp page with information about the product that they are selling and then informally sells the product through the platform and delivers the product or the product that gets picked up at the seller's location So it's an entirely informal process Also most of the time cash is used for payments So this is really what we are looking at in terms of e-commerce adoption in Africa The use of social commerce is predominant We are seeing more and more MSMEs now also using e-commerce platforms that can provide more of an end-to-end value proposition but then of course there is a cost associated to e-commerce platforms So supporting more affordable mobile data services enabling access to more affordable phones can also support the adoption of e-commerce solutions by MSMEs	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQsnZPr9OEk", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCq6ysZYeu-HwhBEV7TuO8wg	Reminder: File 2019 and 2020 returns by Sept. 30 to get COVID penalty relief	Reminder: File 2019 and 2020 returns by Sept. 30 to get COVID penalty relief https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/reminder-file-2019-and-2020-returns-by-sept-30-to-get-covid-penalty-relief https://accountinginstruction.info/ The Internal Revenue Service today reminded struggling individuals and businesses, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, that they may qualify for late-filing penalty relief if they file their 2019 and 2020 returns by September 30, 2022. Besides providing relief to both individuals and businesses impacted by the pandemic, this step is designed to allow the IRS to focus its resources on processing backlogged tax returns and taxpayer correspondence to help return to normal operations for the 2023 filing season. "We thought carefully about the type of penalties, the period covered and the duration before granting this penalty relief. We understand the concerns being raised by the tax community and others about the September 30 penalty relief deadline," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Given planning for the upcoming tax season and ongoing work on the inventory of tax returns filed earlier this year, this penalty relief deadline of September 30 strikes a balance. It is critical to us to not only provide important relief to those affected by the pandemic, but this deadline also allows adequate time to prepare our systems and our workstreams to serve taxpayers and the tax community during the 2023 filing season." The relief, announced last month, applies to the failure-to-file penalty. The penalty is typically assessed at a rate of 5% per month, up to 25% of the unpaid tax, when a federal income tax return is filed late. This relief applies to forms in both the Form 1040 and 1120 series, as well as others listed in Notice 2022-36, posted on IRS.gov. For anyone who has gotten behind on their taxes during the pandemic, this is a great opportunity to get caught up. To qualify for relief, any eligible income tax return must be filed on or before September 30, 2022. Those who file during the first few months after the September 30 cutoff will still qualify for partial penalty relief. That's because, for eligible returns filed after that date, the penalty starts accruing on October 1, 2022, rather than the return's original due date. Because the penalty accrues, based on each month or part of a month that a return is late, filing sooner will limit any charges that apply. Unlike the failure-to-file penalty, the failure-to-pay penalty and interest will still apply to unpaid tax, based on the return's original due date. The failure-to-pay penalty is normally 0.5% (one-half-of-one percent) per month. The interest rate is currently 5% per year, compounded daily, but that rate is due to rise to 6% on October 1, 2022. Taxpayers can limit these charges by paying promptly. For more information, including details on fast and convenient electronic payment options, visit IRS.gov/payments. Penalty and interest charges generally don't apply to refunds. The notice also provides details on relief for filers of certain international information returns when a penalty is assessed at the time of filing. No relief is available for applicable international information returns when the penalty is part of an examination. To qualify for this relief, any eligible tax return must be filed on or before September 30, 2022. Penalty relief is automatic. This means that eligible taxpayers who have already filed their return do not need to apply for it, and those filing now do not need to attach a statement or other documents to their return. Generally, those who have already paid the penalty are getting refunds, most by the end of September. Penalty relief is not available in some situations, such as where a fraudulent return was filed, where the penalties are part of an accepted offer in compromise or a closing agreement, or where the penalties were finally determined by a court. This relief is limited to the penalties that the notice specifically states are eligible for relief. For ineligible penalties, such as the failure-to-pay penalty, taxpayers may use existing penalty relief procedures, such as applying for relief under the reasonable cause criteria or the First-Time Abate program. Visit IRS.gov/penaltyrelief for details. This relief doesn't apply to 2021 returns. Whether or not they have a tax-filing extension, the IRS urges everyone to file their 2021 return soon to avoid processing delays. For filing tips, visit IRS.gov.

service today reminded struggling individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that they may qualify for late filing penalty relief if they file their 2019 and 2020 returns by September 30th 2022 besides providing relief to both individuals and businesses impacted by the pandemic this step is designed to allow the IRS to focus its resources on processing backlogged tax returns and taxpayer correspondence to help return to normal operations by the 2023 filing season so if you don't know the IRS kind of got backed up on some of the work they're due in part to the pandemic the response to the pandemic including the social distancing stuff which they tried to implement in essence from a top down perspective so a lot of the craziness went to government entities you would think like the IRS and other people that are a little bit more saying that are a little bit further away probably didn't get hit by so much of the heavy handedness of that and then of course some of the responses to the pandemic were going through the IRS laws and regulations so things like the stimulus payment and whatnot went through basically the IRS they also had changes that were fairly significant to the IRS tax law and those changes are going to make things a little bit more difficult to process everything because normally things change quite slow with regards to the income tax law or that's generally what we would like to generally happen so they got backed up on stuff and they're trying to basically get everything up to speed so that they can go into the next filing season coming up shortly that for the 2022 filing season that starts into you know 2023 as best they can but also note that they also hired a bunch more people so we'll see how efficient they are with it with that as well in any case quote we thought carefully about the type of penalties the period covered and the duration before granting this penalty relief we understand the concerns being raised by the tax community and others about the September 30th penalty penalty relief deadline in quote said IRS Commissioner Chuck Reddick quote given planning for the upcoming tax season and ongoing work on the inventory of tax returns filed earlier this year this penalty relief deadline of September 30th strikes a balance it is critical to us to not only provide important relief to those affected by the pandemic but this deadline also allows adequate time to prepare our systems and our works streams to serve taxpayers and tax community during the 2023 filing season end quote the relief announced there's a link to that announcement here last month applies to the failure to file penalty the penalty is typically assessed at a rate of 5% per month up to 25% of the unpaid tax when a federal income tax return is filed late this relief applies to forms in both the form 1040 and 1120 series as well as others listed in the notice 2022-36 there's a link to that posted on irs.gov so we've talked about this in some of the past news releases that they're giving that relief for the penalties it's kind of an interesting decision so I could see why people would have kind of questions on it because again they gave the relief to people that could have filed on time but chose not to it's not like the pandemic really stopped people from filing on time the pandemic stopped people from basically being able to pay on time so the fact that they're doing the relief on the penalty side of things for people that didn't file on time seems a little bit strange because it seems like it's a penalty on the people that actually did file on time even though they didn't have the capacity to pay you would think that if they were trying to give relief to everybody they would give the relief to the people that maybe you couldn't pay right that would make more sense to me but in any case I also think they might have done it to look more like a stimulus payment so because they had to return the penalties they they from a political standpoint maybe they couldn't get the stimulus payments through to be able to give out another stimulus payment so they tried to do something that looks like they're giving out money in a similar fashion even though it's not a stimulus payment it was penalty relief and I and I also he's arguing here that this is going to save them time so that they can they can round up or get up get ready for the next filing season I'm not exactly sure how that's the case either because they're gonna have to send out the these payments to the people that already paid the penalty you would think would be more work not less possibly you can save some time calculating penalties for people they haven't calculated penalties for but again I I'm a little bit I do be is about the rationale here but whatever for anyone who's gotten behind on their taxes during the pandemic this is a great opportunity to get caught up to to qualify for relief any eligible income tax return must be filed on or before September 30th 2022 so meaning if you filed it late then you're gonna be subject to these late filing penalties typically and but they're gonna try to waive those penalties if you still file by the September 30th so those two filed during the first few months after the September 30th cutoff will still qualify for partial penalty relief that's because for eligible returns filed after that date the penalty starts accruing on October 1st 2022 rather than the return's original due date because the penalty accrues based on each month or part of a month that a return is late filing sooner will limit any charges that apply unlike the failure to file penalty the failure to pay penalty and interest will still apply to unpaid tax based on the return's original due date so in other words when you file the tax return there's really two things that that you can get hit with penalties from one is the failure to file you don't file the return on time and so then they start hitting you with penalties and interest the other is that you didn't pay so the fact that you didn't file doesn't mean you still don't have the non-payment penalty and again to me if someone was in was in financial difficulties and a lot of people have been of course in the last a couple years and they couldn't file the tax return or they couldn't pay the taxes like it's the first time and they couldn't pay the taxes because of the all the craziness that's going on you would think that they could still file and then they couldn't pay they'd have to go on a payment plan or something like that so you would think that in order to give a fair relief you would think that you would give it maybe on the payment side of things rather than the filing side of things because even if you can't pay the taxes you could still file you could still avoid the filing and if a lot of people may not have because maybe it's the first time they couldn't pay and they decided to just not do anything you know but again it seems kind of unusual that that they would do that when it also gets an incentive like they've done this a few times now with this penalty relief kind of stuff where they're incentivizing people to to not not file or not pay their estimated taxes because it might get relieved and that's a little weird any case the failure to pay penalty is normally point five percent one half of one percent per month the interest rate is currently five percent per year compounded daily but that rate is due to rise to six percent on October 1st 2022 obviously they're trying to keep up with inflation with that increase taxpayers can limit these charges by paying up properly for more information including details on fast and convenient electronic payment options visit irs.gov forward slash payments there's a link to that here penalty and interest charges generally don't apply to refunds the notice also provides details on relief for filers of certain international information returns when a penalty is assessed at the time of filing no relief is available for applicable international information returns when the penalty is part of an examination to qualify for this relief any eligible tax return must be filed on or before September 30th 2022 penalty relief is automatic this means that eligible taxpayers who have already filed their return do not need to apply for it and those filing now do not need to attach a statement or other document to their return so if you haven't filed and you're and you're late ready then you want to file before this deadline and you they should automatically apply the penalty without you having to take any extra steps if you have already filed it was late but you filed then they may have already charged you the the penalties which means they're gonna have to refund the penalties which once again should be automatic they should just do the calculations and refund them that's where you would think this would make be more work for the irs as they possibly have to send out those checks but possibly that's from a political standpoint what they're looking for to look like they're sending out stimulus payments or something and generally those who have already paid the penalty getting their refunds most by the end of September so penalty relief is not available in some situations such as where the fraudulent return was filed where the penalties are part of an accepted offer in compromise or closing agreement or where the penalties were finally determined by a court so this relief is limited to the penalties that the noted specifically states are eligible for relief for ineligible penalties such as the failure to pay penalty taxpayers may use existing penalty relief procedures such as applying for relief under the reasonable cause criteria or the first time a bait program and that might be applicable to a lot of people in the last couple of years because again a lot of people you know weird weird situations in terms of work situations happened you might have just said I'm I froze and I didn't file I just said I'm not going to do anything because I can't pay the taxes I don't know what to do at that point in time so if you got if you got penalties sometimes you can call the IRS and it's similar to like contacting your credit card company when you miss the payment they charge you a penalty and you're like hey I'm a really good customer just could you waive the penalty usually they will for the first time good behavior penalty similar kind of thing with the taxes so if you get out of whack and it's like but you're usually doing well then you might be able to get those those penalties abated for basically good good business relations before that right so visit irs dot gov penalty relief there's a link to that for details this relief doesn't apply to 2021 returns whether or not they have a tax filing extension the irs urges everyone to file their 2020 return soon to avoid processing delays for filing tips visit irs dot gov irs dot gov the irs website irs gov anyways there's links to all this stuff i'm going to stop saying anyways i gotten a habit of saying anyways it's certain i'm starting to bug myself so if i'm bugging you by saying that then uh i'm i'm working on it i'm working on it but there'll be a link to this in the description	{ "url":

Um, my TV? What's missing here on, what do you think should have been here in this house? I think a fireplace would have looked nice right here. You think so? Yeah, I think it would. Hmm, so, move over a second. So you think we should put a fireplace there? Yeah, I think so. You know how expensive that would be? Yeah, about $600. For a real one? Yeah. For a real fireplace? Well, for what? For a real fireplace it would take thousands and thousands because where would the chimney go? Yeah, we would. You would have no stairs. Yeah. So, alright. Well what do you think we go get one now? Okay, that's what it's for. Alright, you ready to go get one? We'll put one right there? Yes. Alright. You think I can get you one? I bet you can. Alright, so what do they cost? Around $600. Really? Or more. I've seen them online for like $200. Oh, that's in babies, huh? Oh, yeah. So you want a simulated fireplace? Yes. Is it going to look like a real fireplace? Yes, it will. Alright, let's go see what we can get. Okay, let's go. Alright, what's this shit about? I'm excited. Why? Because I think it's going to be really cool when we get it in here. Okay. Alright. Alright. I'm out for now. Okay, Shaber, I'm out for now. Bye. Bye. What are you doing? I am buying a fireplace. No. Which one? Show me. We're going to get this one right here. We are? Yes, we are. It's going to look real pretty in the home. You think so? I know so. You know so? Yes. What's this for? For my Christmas present, and my birthday present, and anniversary, and everything else for the next five years. I wouldn't go that far, but we just had a birthday. We just had an anniversary and Christmas is coming up. Yeah, so we're kind of rolling it all in one. And we're going to fit this big thing in a box on top of the view lake. Yeah, we're going to see what happens. Alright, we've got to roll around and go get it, huh? Yes, we do. Alright. Alright. We'll be back with you. Alright, we're out for now. Okay, so we're starting to put together the fireplace we got. What's this fireplace we got? So, this is the beginning stage of it. We actually got the first piece put together. So there we go. First piece is on, and we got, let's see. Got all that to do. This go. If I did it in the house, I was moving a little fast, because it's been a while. Yeah, cut all this to do. So we'll keep you posted on how we're doing. And it all came in what? A big, what was it? It came in an eight foot box, and guess what we hauled it in? The Buick. We took it all out, right there in the freaking parking lot, all behind. And put it all inside the car. Didn't have to put anything on top. What's that big box over there, honey? That's the fireplace. That was makes the fires burn, baby. Yeah. It's technically light, but you can adjust the brightness. And it does put out heat. Yeah, so it's a working fireplace. It's electric, but it's going to. 4,000 BTU or something. It'll heat a square, 400 square foot room. So, there we go. So we're going to keep putting some of this together. And as we do a little bit more, we'll show you a little bit more. And hope you guys enjoy it after we get done with it, because I don't know if it's going to look right or not. It's supposed to look like a fireplace, but when I get done with it, it might look like a Chevy hot rod. Hey. No, no. We'll be back with you. Stay tuned. We have been working very hard. And this is as far as we've gotten with the fireplace. Let's see. Give you a good look. It's looking very good. We've got to step back a little bit. It's going to look very nice up there against that wall. So, we've been working hard. Shay Bear and I have been putting the bolts in and getting it all ready. So, there's a little update as to where we are on it so far. So, we'll get back with you in three, two, one. Okay. Here it is with the mantle piece on. And next time we cut in to show you, it's going to be up against the wall with the heater in and done. So, we'll get back to you with that. Okay, YouTube, we got this fireplace put together. It's looking pretty good. What do you guys think? We really like it. We think it really added something to the house. Well, actually, who put it together? I did. Pooh Bear did with a little help from Shay Bear. I assisted you, but who put in 95% of the bolts? I did. Pooh Bear? Yeah, that's right. Pooh Bear did it. So, Pooh Bear, I think did a great job. You want to tone some of the features on this? You want to come up and walk them around it? We haven't got Corby yet, so they don't care. They know we're working on that. Yeah. You can see kind of the details on the mantle here. Kind of up close here on the details. And it kind of matches our woodwork. That's what we was looking for. Yeah. In the simulated fireplace here, it actually blows heat. We can turn that on or off, up or down. And same with the logs and the fire in the back. We can turn that on high or low or brighter or whatever. Right. We can make it lighter if it's clear or dark and just too bright. We can turn the light down on it. We can turn the heat on and off or up and down. So. I think it's 48, I said 4,042, it's 4,800 BTU. And it will heat a 400 square foot room. But Poo Bear did most of it herself. I helped her, but I think she did an excellent job. She tied the bolt and started them all. And I just kind of showed her where things went and we went from there. Yes, we did. And it looks really good. What do you guys think? Now we could have got a 72 inch, which would have been about right here to right here, but it was lower. And it looked more like a dresser, didn't it Poo? Yes it did. Because it had some drawers and it had a space here that was wider and that would have been fine for the DVR. But it just, it looked more like a dresser. Like an old style dresser missing the mirror is what it looked like. Now we did have to raise the TV up when we got seven and a half inches. Yeah. We had to raise the TV up seven and a half inches because I wanted to make sure we had enough room here. So it worked out pretty good. Which wasn't too big of a problem because I already knew where the studs were. I just had to go straight up seven and a half inches on all of them. And so we had fun. It just took, you got me on there. It took us a few hours, but we took our time. We read the instructions and which is. Wait a minute. Stop right there. What? A man read an instruction manual when he was putting something together. No, I didn't have to. She had to. And when she said, no, no, that ain't right. Who was right? You were right. That's right. I didn't even look at them. But, but now she did a great job. Proud of you two. Thank you. And we got this. It was what was it 599? Yes, it was. But there was a problem with the insert, the fireplace insert. When we turned it on, what happened? It went. And then stop. Yeah. There's a little rock, the rod inside there with these reflecting silver things that spins. Now, when they put this together from the factory, it wasn't straight across. You got to bend it to put it in. It wasn't connected clear on in on this side. So it couldn't spin. It was up like this. So I had to take the back off of it, which you shouldn't have to do. Anytime you buy something for $600 for freaking dollars, you shouldn't have to fucking fix it. No, you shouldn't. And the one we looked at was identical to this that did the same thing. But I thought, well, you know, it's been back around. It was got up. Well, it's a display model. So what? Well, we're getting home. I'm plugging in. I was pissed off. I was like, you know what? You're not supposed to take them apart. But guess what, YouTube? I fixed it. I ain't fucking doing this shit again. Taking it all apart, taking it back and dicking with that bullshit. I fixed it. I knew what was wrong with it. But if you have that problem, I don't know what company it's from, but I think they need to do a better job on putting their shit together. Because it's just a little thin rod with a bunch of flippers on it. And it was bent like this because it wasn't all the way in. And once I put it in on the other side, took all together a minute and a half to take the back off and fix it. Yeah, about that. It wasn't very long at all. So as soon as it, because I turned it on and then I grabbed it and kind of put a little pressure on the, well, my right but your left hand side. And it just popped right in. And that thing was straight. But it was like that. It couldn't turn. That's the kind of shit that you buy anymore for 600 bucks. But what do you want to do? I mean, we can't put a fireplace in here because we have a stairway back there. There's no way we can do that. I mean, we could do one in there, but that would cost a little bit more 600 bucks. Just in materials. We got this. We thought it looked kind of, it's a little darker and of course newer than what we've got, you know, on our woodwork, but we tried to match as close. What is this? Wild cherry? It said cherry. Yeah, but it was wild cherry or something. I think so. I don't remember. Something like that. It was, but I'm sure at one time the issues looked like that kind of, but this, this is pine and this is simulated cherry. We couldn't get any pine. So we did the best we could. I think it turned out okay. We still need to go against the wall, but to plug everything in, somebody went through the baseboards. So that brings us out at least an inch. And so once I change that and put the receptacles in the wall, that's going to put us back, you know, a half to three quarters of an inch. And then now remember, we've got the tack strips back there. And once we get the carpet in, I'm going to clear it back to the baseboard and it's going to be, it's going to be really close. It'll look decent. I mean, it's simulated. Yeah, but it's what we needed there. It's what we needed there. So I think what we need to do is ask, what should we do along this wall here? Oh, I don't know. This one. The empty wall over here. So we're trying to decide what we're going to do with that wall there. So any ideas, comment below and let us know. Because we've got the family wall. Yeah, we got our family wall over here. But we need something over there. We're not sure what we want to do yet. No, we're not. So what do you guys think? What should we put there? Right in there. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of ideas going through our heads, but it's not really going to match anything what we've got in house. So, you know, what do you guys think? Yeah, just suggest something to us and maybe we'll put it up there. So that's a challenge for you guys. And then give them one last look at the fireplace. And here we go. 90% of that herself. I'm very proud of it. And it was everything. This was all, this piece was all, this piece was all, this piece was all, every one of these pieces was all. She did this all by herself. So I'm very proud of her. She did 90% of it. I just kind of helped her lift things. You know, it does come in sections, a lot of sections, huh babe? Yes, it does. And she did very good. Like I said, it's just not one thing. This was one thing. The side was one thing. This was one thing. She did a great job. I'm very proud of you, Puber. Oh, thank you. And she was so happy. Yes. And I think that project or weekend project that we've, we completed in a few hours. And I think, I think they can do it themselves. What do you think? Yeah. I'm going to show them back around here behind the, the, and give them a better view there. Okay. And then there's one last look of the fireplace there. Take it still while you're talking. And there you go. And I'm Puber and I'm out. Well, we'd like to thank everybody that joined us on our little, what was it? Live. Live thing. Everybody was awesome, man. There's so many comments on there that they were commenting at the time that we didn't see, but I'll get back to them. But we wanted to throw that in. We thank you guys a lot for your support. There's just too many people that joined in and that tuned in and watched us. We thank you guys very much. Don't we Puber? Yes, we do. All right. All right. Puber out. Shaber. I'm gone. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQhz_Brb7dY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Five gigabytes of data, just $39.99. Unlimited, just $79.99. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Police Officers One day after slaying Pikeville police officer Scotty Hamilton was laid to rest, students at Pikeville Elementary School are still honoring his memory. Almost every student wore blue today in memory of Officer Hamilton. We are in the process of having all of our children participate in painting and putting their fingerprints on a bench. And that bench will be presented to the City of Pikeville in honor of Officer Hamilton. And also, we are tying ribbons on our fence so we can show the support and our love to this community and the family. School was called off for two days in Pikeville last week due to the high school competing in the boys' Sweet 16 basketball tournament. Pikeville Elementary School principal Robert Jones said it was still very important for students to honor Officer Hamilton. We have so many children in our building that are children of Pikeville firefighters, Pikeville policemen, EMTs. And when something like this tragedy happens, it affects us all. Jones added Officer Hamilton will be sorely missed at the school. When you see these guys in our building, they're tying kids shoes. I've seen them help them with their homework or a problem in math. They're patting them on the back, encouraging them. It's a special relationship. I don't know if I could put into words the meaning that it has for our school. The school is planning to wear blue more throughout the week.

UC13NIM-ePLUiKf37-ZhVMkw	Role of Brand Love in Consumer Brand Relationships: Pitch CMO Virtual Summit –Delhi Panel Discussion	Brand love has many significant implications on brand lifecycle. We have also often heard that ‘Consumer is King’, that being said, how does building brand love further ensure a fruitful relationship between the brand and its consumer?

Panellists: Ashish Mishra, Executive Vice President - Marketing, ACKO General Insurance Harish Narayanan, CMO, Myntra Hitesh Malhotra, CMO, Lenskart Lucky Saini, Head of Brand, Vedantu Prasanna Rai, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Wipro Consumer Care & Lighting Session Chair: Neha Ahuja, Head of Marketing, India, Spotify	[ "Marketing", "Media", "Advertising", "Ad Reviews", "Media News", "Marketing News", "Latest industry updates", "Print", "IPRCCA", "Events", "IDMA" ]	2021-06-02T04:59:29	2024-04-22T18:20:42	3,534	zqYmc-CjAKk	of discussion are very interesting one. It's now time that we get into what is up next with the brand love indeed has many significant implications on brand life cycle. Jiha, we have also often heard that consumer is king indeed. That being said, how does building brand love further ensure a fruitful relationship with being the brand and its consumer? To discuss this in depth, our panelists are here to elaborate the role of brand love in consumer brand relationship. Well, first I would like to welcome our session chair, head of marketing India Spotify, Neha Ahuja. We welcome you. And of course, joining us our panelists, please welcome Ashish Mishra, executive vice president marketing, Akko, general insurance, Harish Narayanan, CMO, Mintra, Hitesh Malhotra, CMO, Lelscott, Lucky Sani, head of brand Vedantu Prasanna Rai, vice president and chief marketing officer, Vipro consumer care and lightning, and it's going to be a very interesting evening. So yes, grab on to your tea or coffee and let the conversation come our way over to you, Neha. And I can't wait for it to unfold now. Thanks, Mithin, thanks Mithin. So brand love is actually one of the most important strategies that we've had as our businesses for many, many years. And I think it's become even more relevant in the current time. We also believe that once build this emotional connection called brand love serves as a foundation for a long-term customer to brand relationship and we often see the impact of this for a very long time. Like you, I am also super happy to have this, you know, absolutely stellar panel today on board and I'm sure that they will bring in a very diverse view on the topic. So without much further delay, let's get started. Hitesh, we can start with you. What we really want you to understand is that in your category, do you feel that you consciously invest behind brand love or you feel that it's all about consumer service, consistent communication, product market phase? What do you feel about it? So until now, you know, in the past, you know, it had been a very utilitarian communication because, you know, just like, you know, a pharmacy, we are also dealing in a category which is widespread and is available across all different looking corners in India, right? So every postcode would probably have two to three opticians around that. So, you know, earlier the communication, the focus was quite utilitarian where, you know, we talked about more as a value purchase, you know, more about the quality or more about simply speaking, the whole proposition that a customer can take out of the product. But over a period of time, we discovered that the only way to go about this is to accentuate brand love because the larger your category staggered or, you know, I would say, scattered across unstructured marketplaces or unstructured detail, the higher is your energy that you need to create brand love, right? If you're not available across anywhere, right? If you're the only seller for a particular category, then your efforts are not as much. But today you have to fight with not one or two large eyewear companies or eyewear retailers online or offline. You're fighting with about a plethora of closer to 120,000 opticians across India. So I think, yeah, it becomes a very, very important factor at that point of time. And we have realized it pretty well. We respect that and we understand it now. And we feel that the brand love in our case has to be category-driven since we are the largest seller or the monopolist in this category, the onus is on us to ensure that there is enough love for the category itself, right? So everything from getting attraction on the glasses, how they define the way your face looks to, you know, relieving the taboo which was there in the earlier societies talking about glasses and switching over to contact lenses or laser. I think we should be the champions of that communication and, you know, kind of lead from front. So yes, I think now it is very important because we are competing with 220 or 230,000 people now. Right, right. Thanks, thanks so much. Ashish, what do you feel? Another very fierce category, right? To be part of, what do you feel about, you know, the customer experience driving the, you know, the loyalty and hence the love? So for us at that point, you know, we believe that brand love is something that is derived. It will be an eventual outcome of all our efforts. So what we are really focusing on is a simple principle that, you know, if you consistently exceed customer expectations, you know, and we do it consistently, that's the main point. And we do it over a period of time. Eventually what will, it will result in a great brand love for the brand. So it's not a, it's not a marketing strategy for us. It's something that we would like to have eventually and we would also like to aim for it. But that's not something that is driving. What is driving is making sure that we are changing the way people buy insurance. They're having a great experience while they buy, while they renew, while they clean. And, you know, their customer satisfaction scores are at a high. I mean, Amazon is a great example, right? I love Amazon. And it just solved everything for me. And that's a brand that I can honestly say is love. You know, it's what probably would not fall in the usual range of brands that people can confess their love for. Lucky what about you? Very new category, very new brand in the country, right? What is your opinion and how has been your journey? Hi, very good evening to everyone on the panel and to you, Neha. So yeah, it's for us, it's really about experiences, right? Because we really operate in a very online, you know, only, right? We are by DNA online, right? So everything needs to be crafted, constructed from an experienced point of view. And, you know, truly speaking, you know, very service orientation is extremely important for us. So the way we look at brand love, Neha, is actually, it's not a stream of work to drive for us. I think it's a lens for us. I'm sure if I'm taking the word lens from the category, but I think it's a lens for us, right? So everything we got to look from a marketing point of view has to be looked at from that lens point of view, right? So quick examples, right? Look, for example, for us, advertising is a very small part of the entire play, right? A lot of our experience building happens online. So we have a very big charter called branded service design, which means that very carefully and, you know, very with love crafting delightful experiences from the onboarding to the time someone is unhappy, to the time when someone's kind of referring you back for the next year. So I think it's extremely important to see journeys. And I think I can't emphasize more in the importance of consumer journeys here to be able to really understand the consumers in terms of different need states and what are they looking for. And then for us as a service category, we really look at brand love from that lens. And a lot of initiatives make a lot of sense for us. I think, like I said, in thoughts, actions, and also in a lot of ways, communication, but take the context of COVID now, right? A lot of, you know, we know a lot of people are getting impacted and kids are getting impacted in a big way because of, you know, obviously losing parents, sometimes one, sometimes both. And what's happened is I think we were also thinking of what could one do, for example, which is meaningful, right? I think for me the really the golden word is meaningful, right? So we didn't really kind of straight away jumped on to, you know, working with let's say a few NGOs to kind of craft something which kind of, you know, does a little bit of benefit to the children because this is at the heart of what we do. We actually launched a new initiative. It's called Help India Learn. So where we've actually earned mark a certain amount of money, but money is not the point. I think we've taken the responsibility of really taking 12,000 kids on board for their education throughout. So I think for us, this is brand love, right? I think it's communication is a small part of it. We live in breathe in the service industry. For us, experience is matter most. So really crafting a superb thought through meaningful consumer journeys for different kind of students and parents who come to us and also try and value add across the spectrum. So it doesn't matter if someone's, by the way, you should know we are the largest online free education platform in India today. So just because, you know, there's a value to education, lot of students, by the way, don't come to us for paid education. We are the largest YouTube free YouTube channel in India today, which means that we continue to invest in it, not because of business sense, because we believe that the value of education is really about giving that value to students, no matter if they can't afford you also, right? So I think for us, it's a kind of an interplay between a very uniquely crafted thought through meaningful service design, a very strong action on ground in terms of how you support contextual or how you support your community, your core audience in times of highs and lows. And obviously, last of it is really crafting, communication that is purposeful. And I'm a very strong believer that I think it's time that marketers move away from mind share, marketing to really purpose and more cultural nuances. I think if you consistently build it, I think you're home. So I think that's how we look at brand love and it's a goal, it's a lens, it's not a stream of thought. Thank you. Harish, moving to you, how do you keep the love alive? I'm sure that you often engage in, you know, sort of trends that allow you to maintain that relevance to stay top of mind. So how do you keep the love alive? First of all, hello to everyone who's listening and nice to see friends. We meet in these kind of meetings, so that's great. See the way, love is a very loaded word, Nayan, if you ask me. We have not been able to define it in real life or personal life as well. So I don't see it being defined very well in terms of brand and the presentation before us, right? That talk about landmarks and maybe build something that is loved and respected and so on. For me, brand love is an outcome. It's an outcome of doing the right thing for the customer again and again and again. And that's what brand love means to me, right? So I'll give you some examples. Examples of being relevant, examples of being helpful what Lucky also was talking about. Examples of being conversational, letting the customers speak the voice of the brand rather than me telling what the brand should say. We were one of the first e-commerce companies to start communicating again when we got out of lockdown last year. And the first thing it did was called lockdown stories, where a girl and a guy are sitting at home and they are buying essentials from Mintra, right? We are fashion, we are a very inherently, very personal, very creative kind of a category. And it was a story about how a girl and a guy, a couple living in a house are able to do stuff in their homes by using Mintra. That was a start. Then we have been doing Mintra fashion superstar for the last two, three years, giving voices to people who never had a voice before. Folks from different parts of the community in terms of diverse population. We started bringing participants across the nation, across types of fashion sensibilities. And everybody loved it because we were representing everyone. Again, we were being helpful to the end customer. Third one I would give as an example is we started master classes, right? So again, India's top stylists, Bollywood celebrities, coming and teaching you how to put on a lehenga or dress for office occasion. These are things as just an e-commerce platform or a transactional platform we don't need to do. But we do it because this is being helpful. This is being going above and beyond. And this is what brand love will ultimately be driven by. And to the earlier points made, right? Brand love is not something that is driven only by marketing. I think a brand is driven by every single touch point in my first company, first job ever, used to call it moments of truth, right? In every moment of truth, whether it is somebody buying a package, a T-shirt from Intra, the first time they tried on and they feel, wow, I just paid 400 rupees for this and this is so amazing, right? I can't believe it. Or the first call they make to us to return something or the first experience they have after they call the contact center or the first experience they have when they become a Intra insider. I think each stage, each brand stage and each moment of truth builds on the reputation that the brand builds and the space it occupies in your mind. And that for me at the end of the day is brand love. And it is built over a long period of time. Just before as we were hearing Leslie talk about it, Maggie is a multi-decade old brand and most of us in this call are less than a decade old or maybe a decade and a half old. So it's a very different mindset for us. For us, I think it is more about doing what is right for the customer and being helpful over and over again that when they think about buying fashion, nothing else comes to mind. They are like, yeah, of course I have to buy from Intra. Why would I even think of anything else, right? And that I think for me is a combination of all those moments of truth and how we delight the customer at each touch point. Marketing and communication being one of those touch points. So that's how I would think about brand love. Absolutely. I couldn't agree more on Harish. On that note, Prasanna, you are in a very different, sort of managing a very different category and a very different life stage to what Harish mentioned. All of us here are managing categories and brands that are actually less than a decade old. So, and you work on a very different life stage of a category. Do you feel any differently about how you have built the brand love in your category? Yeah, thanks, Neha. And hi to everybody listening and to my co-panelists. So it's interesting. See, the other panelists in this here are all people from the service industry where there is a touch and feel and people actually provide you feedback to your face. In FMCG, there are two, three differences. One is there is a large base of consumers. Second is you're not touching them or meeting them on face to face. It is an interaction which happens through your communication and stuff. And you're also handling multiple brands. If I have to take on from what the earlier panelists mentioned, I see it as an outcome, which is exactly true. And each brand is at a different stage of this journey towards brand love, right? So if I take in my portfolio, I have some tool which is a well-established brand for 25 years. Then the concept of brand love is absolutely true. It's as good as what we've been hearing about Maggie, right? There are people in some parts of the country where they're swear by the brand, right? And they think that it does everything that a soap has to do. At the same time, if you take a new brand, it's at a completely different space and different time in its journey. So I equate this, it's very similar to quoting a girl and moving on to a relationship and going on to a marriage. So it is different stages in a relationship that you go through. It's a similar thing with brand building. You start off, so if you're a new brand, you can't now suddenly start talking about brand love. You'll have to go through the steps. First, you need to go and introduce yourself. You need to tell the consumer that you are so-and-so. Then move on to the next stage, provide them a functional promise. Then move on. At the same time, provide an emotional promise. Then over a period of time, if you're able to build that kind of emotional connect and people have started behaving from their side, consumers start interacting with you, start buying you, then at that stage, can I provide an emotional payoff which takes the relationship to the next level? Then build in a purpose that it takes it to a completely another level. So each brand, in my opinion, it's a journey where the outcome is what we can hope for is a brand love, but it is a very long journey and each brand needs to approach it from their reality in the business and stage of evolution of the brand and treat it accordingly. So each step in this journey will have a different requirement. That's how I see it. So a new brand needs to focus on the basic awareness, whereas the brand which is at a brand love stage where people are regularly buying it, there is a huge level of loyalty. There you have a lot of other activities of brand engagement, brand activation, purpose, other things that you can get into. So that's how I would define and define a journey which could be different for different brands. I agree. And I think also keeping this sentiment of how you sort of compare human relationships and the journey of that with brand love, I think let's switch gears a little bit and talk about the correlation between brand love and brand loyalty. What is the correlation? Is there any correlation? I think let's discuss that. And Harish, I will come back to you. Your category particularly has really low entry and exit barriers, right? Unfortunately, how do you ensure loyalty? And do you feel that loyalty does play a role or is there any correlation between brand love and brand loyalty? Specifically for categories like yours, which has very low entry and exit barriers. Well, I definitely think there is a strong correlation between customers who love our brand and who are extremely loyal to us. So if you talk to a customer who is, and there are fortunately for us, there is actually a way to describe it in more functional terms, right? We have an insider program, which is a loyalty program. And within the insider program, we have different tiers of loyal users. We have Mintra insider and select and delete an icon customers. And if you look at our top two, three tiers of customers, they would not shop anywhere else. For them, shopping for clothes anywhere else is like walking into a mall and then shopping for clothes from a general store versus walking into a Levi show or a mango show. So the specificity of the joy of shopping, they would swear by Mintra. And that's something that keeps us differentiated even like you said that exit and entry barriers are very low, but we do occupy that special place in their mind when it comes to fashion and it reflects in their share of wallet that they spend with us. So yes, there is a definite correlation, but again, as I said, we will aim to give the best delight to the customer the loyalty is more planned and more, you know, well-executed, I would say, the love happens to be an outcome. So we make sure that the best customers are treated even disproportionately, they are rewarded disproportionately. And they stay with us and hence brand love happens. I don't think it is the other way around, okay? But definitely strong correlation between somebody who is a loyal customer and somebody who has a strong brand love for us. Yeah, thanks, Arish. Hitesh, coming to you. Do you think you've enjoyed some suitable conditions in the recent times, right? Because of the whole external environment. And if so, do you think that, you know, you've been able to build a loyalty and an emotional connect among an extended TG because of, you know, the external conditions and, you know, I would say some favorable suitable conditions for you. Yeah, I would say we were able to exploit a couple of conditions. Definitely one is lockdown, work from home and the time that you spend on screen, right? So now the antique layer or we call it blue spectacle, it becomes like an essential that everybody needs to wear to protect your eyes from the screen. So yes, it helps our situation to acquire new customers, especially in the kids segment, because, you know, this is one category, which is not directly, you know, influenced by the kids with the parents as well. So when you acquire a kid, you actually acquire two more parents along with the kid, right? So that's the beauty of the business, because generally the spectacle or the average business is a very referral-led business. You know, it is often said that if you're able to invoke one drive in one family, you'll automatically win about nine to 11 customers in the vicinity of that family, either the family itself or the vicinity, right? So referral plays a very strong part in that. And that's the reason most of our loyalty programs are referral-driven, right? Which you call as gold, where people can come and do trials. They can distribute the code amongst the family and then they can get a free pair of glasses. So yes, we were able to utilize a couple of spots, one is that people sitting at home, they need glasses, you know, on screen. So that's something worked in our favor. Also, you know, in the previous edition of IPL, we were able to advertise and pass that messaging like really, really strongly. And we were able to juxtapose it by different idioms that we had. And yes, it helped us gain a lot of new customers, which you were not looking at as primary customers a few years back or maybe, you know, not from the straight, you know, perspective of thinking, we thought that, okay, people with prescription eyewear or, you know, with number of glasses have to be the primary customers. Now that focus is now shifting, right? It is moving more into the zero power customers that, you know, could be a very, very potential later on. Also, there's another thing to be noticed here is that automatically if parents, I have prescription eyewear if they have glasses. So irrespective of the kid has got prescription or not, they still want to go for that category. They want to play it a little safer. So two new acquisition habits in the customer set. One is definitely the younger people, the kids are sitting at home, working on Zoom, you know, working on glasses, basically glasses in the other audience is the progressive customers. The older audience sets living in joint family equals. I'm sorry. Currently, are they, is it something? I think something is fine to say. Okay, so the other set is the progressive customers that typically the grandparents, all the people around the age of 50, 55 are living in a joint setup. We usually don't see the order coming directly from their phone numbers. It usually comes from the existing customers' phone numbers who've been purchasing regular eyeglasses, but yes, as a category, it's an inclusion. So to curtail that or to arrest that, we started creating profiles on the website on Lenscard. That means, you know, it'll actually ask who you're buying it for, just like how you see it on Netflix and who are you watching it for. So typically when you put the profile, we have stored the customer's frame size at the frame that fits his face, because we've got a 3D try-on. And on top of that, we also save the power. So the power and the frame size works like magic in personalization, because you know, we don't have any other levels of personalization like a Mensra does, right? The closest we can get to it, if you know your bridge size, your temple size and the kind of glasses you've purchased in the past. So I think yes, progressive and kids definitely has helped us acquire new customers in this situation. Interesting. Do you also see more stickiness or loyalty around this time? So there's a beauty of it is that if a customer has made more than one purchase and loyalty is not a problem for us, right? Our main game is to go to the second purchase. Our second or third consecutive purchase is after that loyalty is not an issue, right? Then we kind of become like a family business for the customer, right? Because they feel pride in sharing what they purchase and they get more customers from the same family set up with the friend set up itself. The most difficult task is to retain customer after the first purchase, right? As I said, the distractions are big, right? There is, it's a scattered industry. It's distributed over every region. So people have pretty good examples or reasons to take our product and compare it to a nearest optician and then get misinformed and buy something else, perceiving it to be as good as our product. But the moment we clear the hurdle of second, we are usually good to go. And that's the reason on most of our ages we do buy one, get one, right? So we are creating that need because luckily we have the gift of margin. We are back when integrated and we control the entire supply chain. So we run it on buy one, get one because we said it even if the pretext is that the customer makes two purchases, even the second one is free, zero rupees. In the first instance itself, the chances of the customer will stick longer is very high. Okay, great. Lucky, Hiday spoke about the power of word of mouth and reference. I'm sure that in your category, this plays a very important role in sort of one of course acquisition and then continuing with the brand love So what do you have to say about building loyalty and specifically coming by the route of the reference? Yeah, I think you put it very right, Neha, for us. I think education is one category where time is far bigger than money, right? The amount of time you spend with a brand and the more you are invested into a brand, it's like saying you don't move your, you don't shift your power and your teacher and your doctor very, very easily, right? So, and I think it's very true because some of these categories and some of these professions are such where you really get into, all tick boxes check, right? When you really know that you're in the right place, you're getting treated well, you are very relevant, you know, someone's taking care of you. So I think for us, it is actually a very, very big agenda that we need to be able to kind of really focus on, you know, retention and repeat in a very big way, right? And for that, like I came back to my previous point that it's very important to keep focusing on how the journey is unfolding. It's not just about acquiring new customers, right? For us, it's really about retaining them and really giving them value that goes beyond because for us, the acquisition cost dramatically reduces once you look at second year, third year. I think and then the cost of acquisition obviously is very, very high for a category like us. But at the same time, if you do it well, you know, we are in very aptly placed for us to not really kind of really bother about, you know, again, reacquisitions and next year onwards, right? At the same time, it's very important to know that, you know, when the disconnect is high, you won't get that person back. See, I believe that, you know, people would still, some point of the other, you know, for my friend, Harish here, I think one mistake here and there probably, you know, you'll probably would back sometime later with some other program. But I think for us, opportunity cost is quite high. And I think if there's a bad experience or if you don't see the first year going well or the first three months going well, I think you kind of lost the person for good, right? Because you don't go to the guy who cut your hair bad for the first time, right? You just don't go to him again, right? So I think for us... The correction, like, if we miss the first time, we are done. I think it's important for all of us, for sure, like through the categories here. Yeah, and I think it's also because Harish, because we kind of live in the age of abundance now, right? I think Chris spoiled for choices between brands and between the same guys giving two options and many brands fighting for the same mind space and love, so-called love, right? So I think you don't get that too many options. And for us, like, obviously stakes are quite high. It's a very high involvement category. So we really truly believe that for the first one month, we call it seven day, 15 day, and then obviously the first quarter kind of a play. And we really need to ensure that the NPS, for example, is kind of constantly maintained. We want to be very sure that the relationship metric is evolving and strengthening for our own customers, paid customers as we go forward in the journey. And word-of-mouth reference is a very, very big deal for us. In fact, it comes second after ATL in terms of both awareness creation and also getting us to customers. So I think we can't emphasize more on how important it is. But I think, like Prasanna put it here, it's a very young brand. And we've just started on the journey. It's too early to call out people who have started falling in love with the model or the brand. But I think what we can hope for is that we are able to deliver value in every experience. And I think with that in place, we hope that we really see our business kicking in from early learning. We have three verticals, early learning which starts from first standard. And we have an option of students getting trained for IITJ, right? So it's a full spectrum business, right? So I think hopefully someday there will come a student where someone's gonna be enrolled in a coding class with Vedantu and gonna go on to clear IITJ from Vedantu. So, yeah, fingers crossed. And I think that's the aim to kind of achieve. You should start flashing. I don't wanna be next Steve Jobs, right? So I don't know in today's era, these kind of things work. I think the formal world of education is kind of taken over but I think we wanna stick to sincerity. I think there's a little bit of, there's a little bit of sanctity to education, Hitesh. I think somewhere you gotta maintain that. And I think some things are short-lived than others. If you are true to your DNA, if you kind of stick to your roots, I think people will come back, yeah. Cool, okay. Ashish coming to you, I think both Lucky and Hitesh did mention that second purchase is the sweet spot somehow, right? In your category, I'm not sure how many times you were actually even able to take your consumer to sort of experience the product, right? Experience the service even once. I'm sure that the lesser, the better for you guys but what do you feel about it? I mean, what do you feel about the insurance category? How do you build loyalty where 80% of your users don't even get to experience really the product to the end? I think what's very interesting and I've been listening to everyone is like, I really find five or six different marketers agreeing to one standard definition. It has been really good to see. Everyone here believes that brand life is an outcome and it is, and as Hitesh also said, sometimes brand love can actually come from the designers or who design your product design or who design how the way the product flows. So that is not a marketing driven function. I also believe one of the thing is that if love is a loaded word and like he said, the so-called brand love. If love is a loaded word, I think loyalty is also pretty loaded. I believe that we expect customers to say, if I am loyal to this brand, I will never ever buy any other brand. Now that's done, that really doesn't happen. For example, if you slap on fresh sport and mint on a deodorant, I'll buy it. Those three things are enough. So for us, I think what I'm trying to bring to the point is customer satisfaction at every stage, whether it is at a purchase day, whether you actually get to see the brand in action. And for us, brand in action will be the time that our customer actually claims. So customer satisfaction at every stage is what we import. If you have a great, fantastic experience the first time you actually land on the app or on the website, because what has happened is there is a big misunderstanding that insurance category is complicated and you'd need help. And customers actually go on and try for the first time, they enter the card details and as they go through the journey, that delight is what we focus on. The fact that I can provide great customer satisfaction during the buying phase, during the discovery phase and then when you, and again, a great bank or a great insurance company is the one that stays in the background. You really don't feel the need of having to utilize that. I mean, if I have to turn up to my bank for something, I will really be angry. That's what I did. So, and you're right, sometimes we miss out on the fact that 80% of our customers don't claim. So how do I actually show you what great brand promise I can deliver when you actually claim? But that's the part. So instead of focusing on that, just only on the 20% you also focus on the 80, saying, hey, if you had a great year, you didn't have any issues. So enjoy this great buying process, the easiest renewal process. And in case, just in case you had a bad luck and you had a claim, let me give you something that will just delight you. So we have something called, one of the first in the industries, three day claim settlement or on account settlement. There are customers who will file a claim in the morning and I've got money in the account by evening. One of the other things that we did recently on health insurance was that for the first time ever, we credited money into a patient's account who was getting admitted into the hospital. Even before they claim it because the other hospital refused to do cashless claims. It has never been done in the industry. We are breaking this. So you deposited money into the customer's account even before they claim it. And because we knew the customer was serious, he was in the hospital. So those are the things. And it shows three out of four customers come back to our company. That's crazy. And I would take that percentage any day. And we've got NPS scores in the high eighties when it comes to people who have claimed from Apple. So this is, I think our obsession with customer satisfaction, trying to make it easy, simpler, even eventually leading to the outcome of brand loss. But that's the, as I said, that's all, we all understand the fact that it's a derived metric. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yes, Nia, a quick point to what I was just saying is that I think there are far more light users to a brand than heavy users, right? Eventually the number of users to a brand which are light users are far higher, right? So I think it's obviously a little more emphasis today on loyalty, but I think let's remember that, like Ashish said, to be really crafting mass programs to the light users, to delight them, is as important as to be able to craft something very, very intense for the high intensity or high frequency users. So I think it's an important point that we should not miss out on the fact that all of our focus of love is only going on creating those 20% guys who come to us because we all know, you know, loyalty is an expensive metric to maintain. Absolutely, absolutely. You know, such a small 10% of your customers are probably loyal as well. And when we say loyal as in the ones who I will never go to another brand, you know, that kind of loyalty we're talking about. Yeah. Okay, so quickly moving on guys, Prasanna, you manage, you know, iconic brands and tools. Does satisfaction or loyalty look any different for you? I mean, honestly, I have worked on FNCG for, you know, many, many years. In fact, I've grown up in the FNCG environment and I know that how two brands can coexist in the same bathroom. So, you know, how do you ensure some loyalty and, you know, what does satisfaction look like for a brand like simple? Yeah, it's interesting. They have, you know, with the diverse panel here, I was just thinking about it. If you take Vedanto and the hackbook where the cost of each purchase is higher compared to a Linskart and a Minthra. And when you come to me, I will do the cheapest. So, the kind of repeat purchase that everybody has in their mind is at a different level to define loyalty. For a Vedanto or insurance, it could be two, three purchases would be considered as great loyalty. But if you come to FNCG, if a person continuously buys 50 times, even then I would doubt to call them as a loyal consumer. That's the first thing. So, the question of how many repeat purchase is going to define and how are you going to define loyalty is going to be different. But having said that, the first purchase for anybody to any of this industry, the first purchase becomes extremely important. You have to get the person for the first purchase which will have different tactics of its own. So, that's the most important. But after that, get them repeat over a period of time will be different point of time and it will depend upon how. So, in our case in FMCG, for example, we have data which I can track saying, what is the kind of loyalty and what is the kind of breakup of a customer that I'm getting up getting. So, for example, in certain markets of us like in Andhra for Santu, which is the largest brand there, almost 50% of the consumers there in that market who buy Santu, almost 80% of their annual requirement of soap is satisfied by Santu. So, that's the kind of loyalty that we're talking about. So, there are certain markets for certain brands where loyalty is a huge base of consumers unlike what we were talking earlier. Lucky was talking about it's a small base but there are different brands at different stages. But if I go to another market where the loyalty is lesser, it will be lesser. So, I need to adapt my approach to each of these markets differently. So, loyalty is a great measure to define brand love. Having said that in FMCG, there is also a possibility because over a period of time, what happens in FMCG is also inertia buying. Every time you go to the market by habit, you're buying. So, it's also important to track some of the imagery metrics which you want to position your brand on. So, apart from loyalty, that parameter also becomes important. What is key or she as a consumer said, thinking about the brand? Is there a key imagery that we are tracking? Is that going lower in spite of loyalty being high? Is an extremely important thing because if the imagery drops, you can lose your loyal customers at any point of time. They might not show it today. They might continue to buy because of inertia, but if their mind measures about your brand and the imagery goes down, they can drop you at any time. So, I would say loyalty, in addition to the way the brand images and how people see your brand or position your brand in their mind is also something very important to ensure that you have brand love. Sure, sure. Thanks, thank you Sana, very helpful. And I love to discuss the SMCG environment. It's my DNA, so I love it. Guys, moving on to the next part of the discussion, let's talk a little bit about measurement. We are most often faced by very stiff questions by our CFOs and our leadership teams, that how will this impact? How will this initiative ultimately have an impact on the P&L? I'm sure we've all faced those questions. So, let's talk a little bit about how we measure or do we measure it at all. Lucky to start with you, there is a lot of buzz in your category, right? I think it's a very fierce category right now, especially during the lockdown. How do you firstly, how do you differentiate between buzz and love, right? And then moving on to the second part is that how do you think that you've measured the impact of brand love? Yeah, so I think a couple of ways, Neha. So, first of all, I think, I don't think there are easy answers to this. We've all gone into rooms where questions on brand love and what is even brand spends driving. Forget about brand love, I'm asking a bigger question and it's difficult to today attribute to a T in terms of what exactly is brand spends doing. But having said that, there are a couple of ways to look at it, right? And couple of lead metric, couple of black metric kind of a philosophy. So, obviously, if you are a brand trying to drive brand love or at least affinity and passion towards your brand, if I break it up into a slightly more comprehensible pieces. So, I think what we do is what we are trying to kind of craft now. And I think I picked up from Nike and Nike used to do it many years back and they still do it. Is that in many parlances, we have all known of brand equity studies. But I think those are very strategically used for either to prove a point in larger boardroom meetings or more on M&A opportunities kind of a places, right? But having said that, what I am firstly trying to drive it with Anto is that we're trying to craft something like a mini equity kind of a conversation happening every once in two months. So, what we do is actually if you really break up brand love, right? It's actually comes from interpersonal theory of love, right? So, essentially, what are the components of it, right? It's affinity, right? Which is connectedness and bondedness, which in many ways, you know, brand C and Milwood Brown fundamentals have proven. It's intimacy, right? Which is how passionate you are about the whole thing and trust, naturally kind of breaking down brand love into pieces, right? So, what we are trying to craft something called, let's say a brand passion score or a brand relationship equity score, which is essentially a combination metric, which is a brand that is made for me. It's a statement that we could craft out of the brand health track, is a brand that I trust and is a brand that I passionately or purposely talk to others for or with. So, I think a kind of a composite score gives us a strength of the relationship of the brand with the core users and I'm emphasizing here core users because you can't be everything to everyone and you've got to be very specific that where are you driving this equity from, correct? And if you're, and every brand has these three set of, you know, circles, right? The insiders, rightly said, Harish is called the Winther insiders, right? Like, there's an insiders, there is the followers and then there is the feeders, right? So, with the insiders and the followers, we quickly test, you know, these three composite scores of, is a brand I trust, is a brand that I recommend or passionately or fondly talk about and is a brand that I, is made for me. It's extremely relevant for me. I think these three metric combined gives us a view of what the strength is and if you see competitively going up and down, we know the relationship is moving because of certain interventions and maybe because of category play. Like you said, it's a very hectic category and the other thing which we measure and I think it's an important thing to do is social equity. I think the share of voice, the positive share of sentiment, which is by the way a weekly metric and not a monthly by monthly kind of a thing because I think everyday conversations are happening on choosing a brand online before anything else is happening today. So I think if you are creating, giving and measuring your social equity through a combination metric of share of voice, positivity or the passion share of voice within the social sentiment and are you seeing some leading and lagging measure in terms of your brands getting called out for a particular type of attributes versus others and versus competition. So I think in between these combinations, we are able to kind of assign some weightages and create, hey, this is the strength of a brand and for users who are core, who are insiders, this is the strength of the brand versus let's say outside circle of followers or feeders. But I think I still believe the correlation of all of this to hardcore business metric of share of wallet or share of revenue or share of market is still a modeling exercise. The more data you sit on, the more the heritage of your brand, the more you are able to prove this in boardrooms and CFRs. I think everywhere else, what the task for me, for example, is to forward-looking kind of build this models and help people track those to those models that he looks like there is a correlation getting established. The more we do this, the more this is happening and the forward-looking thing is working out better that we don't have too much heritage and backward-looking data right now. So I think that's how we look at the play of measuring brand love, but I'm telling you, there is no easy answer to this. It's easier said than done. And hopefully people buy into our arguments and people kind of take a shot at this and say, okay, fine, let's look at some of the leading metrics and let's look at some forecasting on these things versus trying to prove a point here and now. And if we shut down, by the way, initiatives like this in a quarter because of these things not happening. And I think then it's like the worst situation ever. Sorry, Harish. Minthra is a very data-rich organization, right? And Lucky mentioned that the more data you have, the better measurements you can do of any kind of brand love or loyalty. So do you have any magic tools and magic wands that you sort of used to measure brand love? Don't be all wishy-washy. Actually, Lucky covered quite a few things. So I do agree with him on, so one, imaginary metrics on leadership and fashion, that matters a lot. So if somebody thinks of expertise in fashion, knowledge in fashion, choice, selection, price, offers, we measure a lot of these things in terms of mind metrics. I think this combines to an equity score and we choose the ones that matter to us the most in a particular given segment. So in a segment, if you want to be known as fashion forward and the trend leader, then we track that. If somewhere else, selection is what matters, then we track that. So we have bi-segment, we understand the imaginary metrics. Second, we do definitely social. So share of voice, positive share of voice and social. So that sounds another metric. I think the one that he didn't cover that I would add is given it's a very, very cooperative category and like you said, the cost of exiting and entering the category is so low. The common spot, very basic, you know, whether it's metrics also matters. When somebody thinks of online fashion, are they thinking of me first? And as long as that scores keep going, it means that at the moment of impulse purchase, they think of me before anyone else. So while it's a very basic type of metric, common and total spawn, that also helps us identify the impact that are above the line and brand conversations are having. While a lot of below or rather performance-led kind of pushes reflect in other things, right? So it may be consideration, maybe purchase intent and so on. So imaginary metrics, social and very, very top-level mind metrics, these are the three combination of these three is what I look at. Thank you. Thanks, Adish. It is coming to you. I think some of the points, the tools, the modeling has been covered. I think for your category, like you mentioned, sometimes the buyer is not the user himself. So that is how do you kind of measure the brand love? So honestly, Neha, I think brand love is quite perceptive and at the same time, measurable to an extent, every good CMO worth a salt would know what is the brand love of his organization. Adish's choice, whether he chooses to tell his CEO or not or whether he makes it public or not, but he knows it, right? Every CMO would know at the back of his hand what is the level of brand love his company is operating at. And I think there are two, three main factors that in a place like ours where the primary customer may not be the user at the same time, we still depend on a lot of traditional metrics. For example, for us, the comment space and social media is very important. Comment and the saves and the shares, right? We feel that Instagram today is a world of wonders for marketers. I take that stats very personally, right from a previous assignment to current one because I go very deep into it in terms of every story, every post, every reel, what is the kind of shares? What is the kind of saves that are happening on that? Because it gives me a little bit of an idea that what direction the content is heading, right? And content, it's a very, very critical part in brand love. That is one. Second is the absolute hard metrics could be things like, for example, your repeat gap, right? So your cost of purchase, if it's 100 rupees, in an ideal situation where your repeat customers are an indicator of brand love, which are not coming more than 10 or 11 rupees, right? The one-tenth of cash, that's a scenario that most of the people would want to maintain at. And I truly believe that marketing follows the rule of state, right? So as we say that a perfect state is recognized by how it takes care of its weakest. A perfect marketing is recognized by how it enchants the person who's typically not your audience as well, right? That's a very one-strong analogy which I find with marketing and a state. Secondly, you have developing state, develop state in marketing also you're developing marketing teams and develop marketing teams, right? So it's always there's a team which is following a process and getting there and but a whole lot of confusion and chaos is existing and the other teams sit comfortably where they exactly know what they need to look at and what are the levers they need to press. So one is as a soft metrics, I would say Instagram, I take very seriously and the hard metrics is a repeat cat. Somewhere in the middle of all this, you know, we do have a panel, wherever I work, I always believe in having a consumer panel. My consumer panel is a very strong indicator of whatever things we are doing as marketers is correct or not, right? The panel is not responsible to inform us about the product quality or, you know, their customer service experience to some extent, but largely we are keeping a panel to see the efficacy of what are they pursuing about the brand with every piece of communication that kind of goes out. As a marketer, we can just control communication and media, right? We don't have enough controls over the product or the supply. We can always have meetings in the boardrooms and bring these points out, but we are not direct controllers of it, right? We anticipate we pray for the best but the real control is basically communication and media. So I think having a panel, the soft metrics and social media and the hard metrics on the repeat cat versus new cat, if these three things are well maintained, you will be a developed marketing team, right? For sure, you'll be like a developed nation or developed marketing team. And basically your job becomes easy and you're getting paid for like four hours of duty every day then. Yeah, thanks, thanks Pesh. Thank you guys. I think super, super enriching conversation. I will be careful of the fact that we are on a Friday evening and we are approaching the closing time. So I think what we can do is that very quickly, let's go around the table and maybe have just one brief closing remark from all of you as what is the takeaway that you want the young marketers to sort of believe in when it comes to brand love? Hitesh, we can start with you since you're on the screen right now. Be very honest with where your brand stands today, right? There is no shame. If your brand is not at the top pedestal and there's still a journey to cover, be at least honest with yourself and the stakeholders in the company, right? There is no point sugar polishing when you really know that when you're getting a million views boosted and you get one comment that, hey, Neha, how are you doing, right? So you clearly see the signal where it stands. Just be very honest with it because that's the first step. If that is not there, then you'll pretty end up in a very messy state. And I see a lot of youngsters who want to operate a SMCG kind of scenario in a startup. It's not possible, right? Today what you see with the Britannia or Wipro or Taj Mahal or any liver company is the hard work of late 60, 70 years put together a lot of different individuals across the world. Now we are trying to fast track all of it with company like Lenscard, Mentra, Naika, so many others, Zako. So when you're fast tracking it, right? Not necessarily that the same principles will apply. Everything has to be a little bit on a fast mode and honesty. And I think that is really, really important because this is something which is missing, right? People don't stand up and say that, look, I know we are in deep shit right now. We've got to crawl out of it, right? Everybody kind of starts believing that we are in a sweet space and then there is no scope for improvement from that point. So I think that is the most important thing I believe. Thanks for being brutally honest there, loved it. Lucky, anything from you? No, I just had to summarize with when I was looking at that topic of discussion also, the song that came to my mind was Beatles, All the Money Kind by Me Love, right? So I think to all the marketers, budding, non-budding, whatever, young old, I think you need to have your own formulas. I don't think there's a state cut metric to all of this. Just pick the foundation, simple, keep track of, and I think there are enough foundational frameworks available out there in terms of, how to measure all of these things, how to build it. But I think you just need to keep a pulse on the consumer. I think if you keep the panel like it was saying, very baby, very, very close to your consumer. I think the more closer you are, the more frequent you talk to them, the more you understand. And trust me, like understanding human beings and therefore relationships are complicated, it's not easy to get them, it's not easy to maintain them. It's not easy to even kind of build it. I think you gotta be, keep reinventing, inventing. And I think state root to the fundamentals of who the brand is. I think knowing thyself is very, very important before you go out and start whoing your consumers with all the love. So I think, yeah, to the state answer, keep your horizons slightly broader, go beyond advertising, start to look at smaller wins. I think someone said it right in gloves, even the small things matter. In fact, small things matter than the bigger gestures, right? So keep at it, find your small gestures, big gestures and know thyself and know your customers well, that's it. Thank you, Lucky, for the life lessons, much more than brand love lessons. Harish, anything from you? I agree with what Hitesh and Lucky said and I'll take a slightly different route so that I add to the conversation, right? In categories where you have a very vocal customer, let your customer build your brand with you. We tend to like, oh, my brand, I will say, I will control, I will say exactly what is supposed to be said. There's a 200 page brand guideline book that you should not cross and all that will happen, right? That age is past. The best brands are built when the customer speaks on your behalf and they are able to fight for you, they are able to speak your language, they go out and make things possible which you never thought was possible. So I think letting go of a bit of control and letting them build a brand with you and your Spotify is a prime example of it, I would say. Yes, I- That would be my tip for, especially in new age companies, let the customer build a brand with you. I completely agree, Harish. And I think this is something that, honestly, I have learned after coming to Spotify, I haven't done it in FMCG brands, even brands like Vodafone, which are very iconic brands. And a young brand like Spotify and just a matter of a year, year and a half, two years, we actually leveraged, the consumer love to build the brand further. So completely agree with you on that one. Ashish, anything from you? I think you're on mute, can't hear you. Sorry, sorry, sorry. So I would just say that every consumer has an expectation without any category. I have an expectation that when I go to a particular show or a particular category, how I will, what is my interaction going to be? So I think if I had to summarize, I would just say that, if you consistently exceed your customer's expectations when they deal with you or what they expect to do with you, and you do it consistently and you obsess over customer satisfaction, eventually you will have brand love. You'll have the love, you'll have the loyalty, and you'll have all the flowers and et cetera being thrown at you. But these are the three things. You constantly exceed your customer's expectations, whether it is, I mean, whether it's an aqua, whether it's Spotify, whether it's Nets, Carpentra, now the way my expect, I have a particular sense of what will happen if I go to one of these players. You constantly exceed it, you do it consistently and you obsess over customer satisfaction, eventually you will have all the love. Yeah, thanks, thanks, Ashish. Anything from you, Prasanna? I was closing the mic. For me, I think most of the people have covered most of the points. The one point is slightly radically kind of going away from the main topic of putting brand love as an important thing. I actually feel it's not a very important thing. I feel that it's not a discussion that I would like to have with the CFO or a business head or in the boardroom because it's an idea which has its relevance in the marketing fraternity. Why? Because if I have to get a team to engage with the consumer in different ways, then brand love is a good way to tell him or her that you need to have a different kind of engagement to the consumer, there the brand love plays a role. Otherwise, if I have to evaluate my business, then loyalty is a good alternate, look at your repeat purchases, look at your loyal consumers, how they are growing, that's a better and more grounded way of measuring brand love. And brand love, I think, should be kept to the marketing council and the marketing room. Absolutely. I never want to have these conversations with my CFO and the leadership team trust me. Okay, thank you guys. Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing this topic with this diverse team and I hope you enjoyed this time spent with us. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having us.

UCeLpDT5afyiwdbbg1EOxOtQ	How Microsoft SQL Server Went Multi-Platform: SQLPAL	https://media.ccc.de/v/ASG2019-131-how-microsoft-sql-server-went-multi-platform-sqlpal How did Microsoft made SQL Server available on Linux, Containers and ARM CPUs? Come hear the story from the SQL Server engineering team. We'd love to tell the story on how we made SQL Server available to ecosystems outside of Windows in this talk. It's a great story that involves quite a bit of interesting technologies and we'd like to share that with everyone! Argenis Fernandez Brian Gianforcaro Eugene Birukov https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/ASG2019/talk/GTYJFV/	[ "2019 -", "Day 1", "Loft", "2019", "asg2019 ov", "asg2019 eng", "Argenis Fernandez", "Brian Gianforcaro", "Eugene Birukov", "asg2019" ]	2019-09-21T13:09:08	2024-02-05T07:42:43	2,462	zq1WTLnntIg	So first of all, we're not paid actors. We actually work for Microsoft. And yes, we're here. I've been getting a lot of strange looks from you guys because of my t-shirt. And trust me, it's fine. It's a different world now. So we're here to tell you guys a story on how we started on a journey to move SQL Server to other platforms. And this basically started back in 2015 when our executives decided that it would be a good idea to explore how to land SQL Server on other platforms. And Linux was obviously the natural first choice. So we did this using a technology called SQLPAP, which is based on a project from Microsoft Research called Drawbridge. There's tons more information about this stuff out there, but we'll give you links and everything in the deck. So this is kind of how we went from, this was basically the state of the world in 2016. We only ran on Intel processors. We only ran on Windows. We only supported officially an application fabric, service fabric in Azure. And we could run on-prem and on-clouds, but we could only do so on virtual machines. And when the decision was made to switch into other platforms by using SQLPAP, we enabled all of these following use cases now. We run on top of ARM, which I know may be a shocker to a lot of you. Well, the fact that we run on Linux is already a shocker to a lot of you. We're naturally now able to run not just on Linux, but Mac OS on top of Docker. So if you guys are Mac users, we can just download SQL Server container and hack away. We also support multiple application fabrics, including Kubernetes, OpenShift, and all the Kubernetes offerings by the cloud providers, including our own AKS, Azure Kubernetes Service, the ones in Amazon and the ones in Google as well. And containers is something that we're really embracing fully, right? There's a new feature of SQL Server 2019 that's called Big Data Clusters that only runs on Kubernetes on Linux. We don't even have support for Kubernetes on Windows Notes yet. So isn't that interesting for a change of mind on how we do things at Microsoft? We also support secure enclaves. It's another technology. If you guys don't know what a secure enclave is, it's a secure area of memory, protected area of memory within your computing node that enables you to perform secure operations within that area so that no high-privileged user has access to them. SQLPile also uses this. This is a screenshot of SQL Server running on ARM. We actually call this product Azure SQL Database Edge. So it's the same database engine as SQL Server, the traditional SQL Server that we ship out there. It's just that it's packaged in a different way because we bundle a lot of other things. And we tailor it to Edge use cases. So this was one of the first builds that we did for SQL Server on ARM. If you look at the date there, it's September 14th of 2018. And that's it right there. It's running on top of ARM 64. So not only are we able to run on top of other platforms like Linux, but we're also enabling switching into other instruction sets like ARM. And we do this by leveraging, guess what? LLVM. So we leverage a little bit of magic there. There's some binary translation sprinkled on top and things just work. So if you wanna run SQL Server on a Raspberry Pi, you're able to. So it's a very, very, very different world for us. Anyway, when we started exploring what it would take for us to move SQL Server to Linux, the first thing that came up was, well, what are the possible ways through which we could achieve this? And we thought, well, let's explore how much it would actually take us to get there. If we did a native port of SQL Server to Linux, it would take us five years. We will still be working on this. We started this effort in early 2016. If we had started back then, we will still be working on it and we will have not released yet. It would have taken us five years to complete. Using SQL Power, it only took us three weeks to get a working prototype. And that working prototype was enough to convince everyone around Microsoft that this was possible, we could leverage this technology for this purpose, but not just that, that we can enable a whole lot of other things using this tech. The rest of the time that we spent building SQL Server on Linux was basically to make sure that we had a mature product, something that we could release to our customers and do feel comfortable in using it. That last number that I have right there, that is as of three weeks ago, 25 million Docker pools. SQL Server is actually very, very popular in containers. A lot of our customers are using them using the containers on their CI CD pipelines. And we ourselves are using containers on our functional tests. So instead of spinning up the ends running Windows for SQL Server, that's actually a lengthy process. Even if you use tricks like VM images and snapshots and bring things up from that sort of thing, that takes a lot more work than it actually takes to just spin up a container with the latest build from the build pipeline and just run our millions of tests against that stuff. So it makes sense for us to use or leverage our own technology to make our build process a lot better. So that number, 25 million Docker container pools grows at about 60,000 pools per day. So we're having a significant use base up there. So this is the secret sauce that enabled us to move SQL Server for Windows on Linux. And again, it's not like we actually compile SQL Server for Linux. We compile SQL Server for Windows and then we package it on top of SQL Pal. And this is how we ship it so you can run it natively on Linux as if it were just a package or on a container by just doing a Docker pull on Linux today. So the architecture goes like this. From the top, you have applications that are running within a sandbox of sorts created by SQL Pal. Okay, you have a SQL Server process. Do you have some DLLs for every process? Service host is the one that actually handles services within Windows. We have an infrastructure around services on Windows. We run that stuff within the SQL Pal sandbox as well. Then you have SQL Pal, which is a PE executable, right? It's actually running within Windows. So it really thinks that SQL Server really thinks that it's running on their Windows. It's just happened as we're tricking it into providing a Windows-like infrastructure within Linux itself. And so you can see how SQL Pal actually makes something like 400 NT calls down to down to win32kcs, which is another PE executable running within Linux. And then from there, there's about 50 calls that actually make it down to the Linux host extension, which is actually an elf executable. So when you run SQL Server on Linux, the host extension is the first thing that kicks off and actually generates all this environment for SQL Server to run inside of. It's a pretty neat technology, but it also enables us to do a lot of really interesting things. For example, we built support for persistent memory on Linux. So if you guys are not familiar with it, it's basically sticks of RAM that actually persists your data in them. With persistent memory, you can do interesting things like avoiding the entire opening system stack for IO and just keep the IO in user mode. So this is sort of one of the things that we take advantage of. Most of this stuff is running in user mode, hence why we are at this conference. For the use of B-MEM specifically for persistent memory, we can actually perform mapping of the entire database set of database files that you place on the persistent memory device and only do MEM copy operations in user mode to access them. So the latency for those operations is extremely fast. It's extremely low, I should say. Anyway, just wanted to give you a brief introduction to the SQL Pal architecture, but I brought two really smart guys that are actually gonna talk in depth about this stuff, make it a little more interesting for you guys, and I'm gonna hand it over to Brian now. Hello. So, our Janace just painted a pretty beautiful picture of like, oh, this is amazing technology, blah, blah, blah, so how does it really work? It's really terrible. There's a lot of things we have to do that are nasty and complicated to get this to actually work. So think about how a normal Linux process works. So like time, for instance, you have a VDSO where you can go directly into get time from user mode via shared map page, right? Windows has the same thing. They have a user shared page that's mapped into every process. You can get time, you can get all kinds of performance counters, and it's a strict known address. So now we have to have that same address mapped into every Linux process. And how do we plumb Linux time into this? Like, we can't go load or call the VDSO straight from Windows, right? And it's pretty costly to go straight down to Linux every time, like from SQL Pal or from SQL Server, and by engine going through all these layers down to the host extension to get the current time, right? Something that's pretty often in SQL Server. So that's complicated. Time zones are also complicated. So Windows time zones are very different than how Linux time zones works. We have to map them. They're all stored in the registry. It's very complicated. Windows manages memory different than Linux. So you can separately commit, you can separately reserve in Windows. There's not really a concept of that in Linux. So we actually had to build our own virtual memory manager, Eugene built it, inside SQL Pal. So it's kind of weird where, so the SQL Server process and any other virtual process that runs inside SQL Pal, it's running in one giant shared address space. So we have to manage that address space, so what if one of the processes dies? We have to make sure that we clean up any map to memory, un-map it, manage protections, all that kind of stuff. File systems are another interesting problem. No, I know, sorry. So Linux file systems are case sensitive. Windows file systems are not case sensitive. So if you break this assumption, lots of Windows paradigms don't work. So, and now we have to go do case insensitive and sensitive look up at the same time and go kind of try to figure out what the program is trying to doing on the covers. And so there's kind of this endless stream of things we had to go think about and implement at the right layer, at the right place. So we actually have thunks that switch calling conventions. So PE has one calling convention, like where to put registers, right? Where arguments are expected to be. ELF has a different calling convention. So we have these thunks. So at that ABI layer, we have these thunks that say, hey, switch from Linux calling convention to Windows calling convention. So if you're doing up call, you switch it one way. If you're calling down, you switch it the other way, right? So those aren't extremely performant. So we wanna make sure we do as few of those as possible. And so we purposely kind of keep this layer very thin. We wanna only expose things that are actually needed and are very important. So we try to do as much as inside SQLPow.dll, our version of the anti-kernel in user mode and leave only like the strict, actually required things that you can only implement via the Linux kernel API. So I'm gonna go deep dive into some of the actual like MIDI challenges after I gave you a small sampling of the things we had to do. So one of the big problems that we have is asynchronous IO. So SQL server is a database, of course. Most databases rely on asynchronous IO. SQL server is no exception. So we actually have our own user mode scheduler inside SQL server. So we have our own events. We have our own semaphores. We have our own mutexes, pretty much everything, right? And so that entire user mode scheduler is tied very closely to how we do asynchronous IO via the Windows model. And so if you're not familiar with how synchronous via asynchronous IO works, kind of the traditional model that you would do in like a blocking application is you'd issue an IO to the IO subsystem. Sorry, you'd issue the IO, you wait for it to complete and then you'd process the completion. It's obviously not very scalable and not very performant. So most databases try to use a asynchronous IO model where you batch as many requests as possible. You issue them all and then wait for them to complete in unison and then process all those completions as they come in. And you get a lot more throughput, a lot more scalability, and a lot more flexibility. So when we go try to map these primitives from Windows to Linux, the problem is that Windows has a common view over asynchronous IO, whereas Linux really has no high performance abstraction over a network in disk IO. So people would probably think that the G-Lib C-AIO is a solution, but in reality, it's not really a solution because it has a lot of issues. It's very slow in our experience and it has its own thread pool. So we have a lot of threads in our process and we don't want to add any additional overhead that we don't need. So G-Lib C-AIO was not a candidate for us. So of course, Linux has EPOL wait and IO get events for processing completions. So EPOL for network IO, IO get events for disk IO. And so there's a small caveat that this was circa 2016 when we were building this. So there's kind of some new stuff that I'll talk about later, but this was the kind of template at that time that we'd go by. And so Windows exposes a single mechanism called IO completion ports. And so via disk IO, via network IO, you can use kind of the same primitives to manage completions abstractly of what actually issued them. So how do we model the Linux primitives to Windows IO CP? So there's actually multiple ways to use IO completion ports, but one common pattern is that you have IO is bound to completion port. So you call these kind of extension methods, read file EX, write file EX, and then there's a socket version of Windows. WSA is WinSock. So Windows socket send, WinSocket receive. There's also crazy stuff like asynchronous accept in WinSock. And then so you would issue those IOs and then you can either wait on the completion port or you can call get queue completion status. So do a blocking call or a polling call to retrieve the completions. And then you would process the completion packet and do whatever application specifically you need. So when we were looking at this, one of the interesting things we saw was that get queue completion status is kind of, you can think about it as a polling mechanism, right? And so that kind of maps to E-Poll and IO get events. And so the nice thing about get queue completion status is that it exposes a timeout. So as long as we honor that timeout, we can do whatever we want inside that call, right? We just have to make sure we get back to when the application gave us the deadline, right? So luckily E-Poll await and IO get events both expose a timeout. So we can kind of say, for this completion port, we know that it's actually bound internally to a socket or a network, a network socket or a file descriptor, right? So we know which one to call when we call get IO completion status and we can use get IO completion status to actually pump them from the application. So when you call get queue completion status, we'll actually go honor that timeout, plumb the timeout all the way down into E-Poll or IO get events and actually use that blocking cause and method to pump these IOs back up into your application and surface them that way. So this is a general model that works very well for SQL server or applications that use asynchronous IO heavily. It kind of breaks down though when you go to applications that use blocking IO. So like very simple programs. So we actually have, we use the same model but we do it on background threads so that you don't actually have to use the outcompletion API if your application doesn't. We'll still surface theos but that's kind of an implementation detail in a caveat. So this works. There's one complication though that gave us a lot of trouble. So Windows has this thing called APCs, asynchronous procedure calls. And so when you say, hey suspend that thread, Windows will actually send an APC to that thread and then ask it to suspend itself. You can suspend a thread, you can resume a thread, you can actually execute callbacks on a thread. So you can say, execute this APC routine on this thread remotely. And so this is a very common paradigm in Windows. So we had to honor that as well. But what happens if you try to issue an APC and you're blocked with the infinite weight inside E-Poll? So our Windows stuff doesn't know anything about the Linux user space. So how do we get that guy out of the weight? So we actually inject an event FD into every single one of our weights to make sure that we can wake it up externally. So we can go process that APC and then go back down into the weight if we need to. So there's all kinds of little corner cases that you think about when you're modeling these Windows things in Linux. So what would we do in the future maybe? So the gens at Facebook has been working on this awesome IOU ring technology. So it's a new sys call in Linux as of 5.1. And so you have two ring buffers that are mapped in the user space. And so you have a submission queue and a completion queue. So without actually entering the kernel, you can go say, hey, I wanna do these IOs. And the kernel will go pull that ring buffer because the kernel maps it into your process. So you both have a view of the ring buffer. So it takes the submissions out, we'll go process them and then you can go pull them without entering kernel as well. So we can remove a whole bunch of context switches from our IO path. And yeah, I'm excited to go play with it. It's in relatively new kernels though. So it's not like we could use it in production everywhere yet, but it's interesting technology. So another problem we have is synchronization. So pretty much there's like one single paradigm for all synchronization primitive surface by the NT kernel. And that's a wait for multiple objects or there's a variant of it called wait for a single object. So on Windows practically everything is a waitable handle. So we have processes, you have events, you have mutexes, threads, semaphores, the list goes on. You can wait on all of these via this one API. So there's no real direct corollary in Linux. There's stuff that like if you squint it kinda looks similar or you could maybe model it, but when you go look at the details it kinda breaks down. So we had to do a bunch of work to actually implement wait for multiple objects on top of Linux primitives. So we built this kind of class hierarchy where you have a thread and every thread has a thread wait context. And so that thread wait context has a condition variable embedded in it. And so obviously as a mutex for that condition variable as well. And then it has an array of these wait infos. And so these wait infos are kind of the pair between the waitable object and the thread wait context. So when you go and start a wait, you'll pass in five handles. And so those handles will actually be backed by this abstract class called a waitable object. And so the thread wait context will go in queue itself into a wait queue that every waitable object has. And so when that waitable object becomes signaled, it'll go process the queue and depending on what kind of object it is. So if it's a auto reset event, it'll go take everybody that's waiting and then reset itself. If it's a semaphore, I got counted semaphore, it might take one event, one waiter. And so it'll go resume that waiter by calling back through the wait info to the thread wait context and then posting on that condition variable. And so you kind of have this very simple paradigm that lets you abstractly model, wait for multiple, using just the primitive condition variable. Yeah. And so for the future, there was a patch to the next kernel about June 2019 from the Wyden people. And so they have a similar problem. So they have an interesting idea where they could model this problem using few texas. So if you expand the few tex API in the kernel to allow the wait for multiple few texas, then you could model the same problem using Linux's calls directly, pretty much. So if we did that, we could get rid of a bunch of our code let the kernel do the heavy lifting and it's a win. So if you're really interested in how all the internals work, one of our colleagues Bob Dorr has this awesome blog where he goes through a bunch of internals and then we have a blog that goes kind of high level overview again, that we posted when we released the project. So Eugene is gonna talk to you about our debugging story. Hello. One of the challenges that Brian did not mention is how to debug the thing. Right? As Arjenius told you, when we run SQL PAL container, SQL PAL process, it is ELF process. And Linux host extension, which directly interacts with Linux operating system is pure ELF process. And we can use any debugger, GDB, LLDB, whatever, just to debug it. But that guy loads SQL PAL DLL which we internally call library.js and this is PE binary. This is Windows binary. Essentially inside Linux host extension we implemented PE binary parser which reads file and uploads it exactly the same way as Windows kernel does. And now on top of that it's SQL server and tons of other DLLs like NT DLL, kernel based DLL and probably some other process as well. And all these guys, pretty much 99% of the code, if you start counting the lines of the code it will be that much. That's all in Windows format, in PE format. Of course we have PDB files for them but what use of those PDB files if neither of Linux debugger can deal with that. So the compelling idea is to just launch, just have separate Windows VM or computer and launch VindBG on that. VindBG is absolutely capable of dealing with PE binaries and with PDB files with everything. And so VindBG will be able to give us insight into that part of the system but unfortunately VindBG has no way to connect to Linux machine and to break in into Linux process. So we have a cousin and if we have a cousin people usually build bridges. And so that's what we did. We created program which is called DBG bridge, debugger bridge. This is also Linux executable which uses LLDB library and that using LLDB class library, right? And which can connect to SQL pod process and can manipulate it. Or it either uses a live process or it can load core dump from the file system. That guy pretends that this is a remote debugger server for VindBG. VindBG has a well-known protocol, a user debug services protocol which talks over network and can connect to Windows debugger running on different machine. So a DBG bridge pretends to be just normal Windows debugger service running on this machine and gives access to that part of the system. This is fine but we want to debug both parts of the system. We want to debug both SQL, both PE binaries and we want to get inside into what Linux first extension is doing at the same time because they tightly interact. Fortunately for us when DBG is extensible debugger, so we wrote extension for that guy who directly connects to LLDB library. We have intermediate code here and controls this portion of the system. Now, what Windows, what VindBG needs to know about the process? VindBG, it turns out that VindBG has very little, it needs very little to start debugging the process. It needs to be able to read memory, it needs to be able to write memory to set breakpoints and it also needs to know about two lists. It needs to know about how many PE binaries will load it in the system and where they are and it needs to know how many threads are there in the system and where they are. Of course, LLDB library does not know that but every time we load any PE binary, we go to Linux host extension and tell it, hey, please, here is the file, ntdll.dll, please load into memory. At that time, Linux host extension says, ah, here is some module loaded, let me put it in the list. And the same thing happens when thread starts. Every thread in SQL PAL has four stacks. It has normal Linux stack where it starts executing, it has Linux signal stack where it processes all signals, like sigtrap, sigtv, whatever. It also has normal Windows stack where it executes Windows code and it has Windows exception stack. Pretty much signal stack in Windows world. So every time thread starts, which belongs to that world, it also goes through Linux host extension and all those stacks are registered there in Linux host extension. And it also is put in the list. And now LLDB library can examine the memory, can find those data structures and we can report them back to VindyBG. Now, VindyBG also has ability to stop or when we load a new module or we launch a new thread or we thread access. To implement this functionality, we just put breakpoints in Linux host extension. Every time a new module is created, we put breakpoint onto that function and when breakpoint hits, we stop the execution. Again, let me show some, quickly show some demo for you. The change is very good. Got disconnected? Five minutes left. I'm connecting to my machine in Redmond. So that debugger bridge is absolutely not an interactive program. I'll start it once and after that it just goes. Yes, yes, here. I don't know if you see it. Here, I started that program. Yeah, I started the program. So you see DBG Bridge SH that's shell script which contains all the incontentions, incontentions and it opens the core dump which I got in our lab. It's a real core dump. It's the bug I'm executing, I'm resigating now. And after it started, it says, hey, if you won't connect me, go to Windows box and launch that command. After that, it just brings some warning messages that it did not like something. But that's it. And all the debugging going through WinDBG. This is WinDBG. And you see, WinDBG says, hey, there was thread created. That means we read the list of threads and tell WinDBG that the thread is created. WinDBG really thinks it's connected to live process. And the same thing goes for modules. It says modules loaded. And then WinDBG, we can just go and just inspect memory here, inspect locals. But this is only for Windows part because if you do stack here, say K, it shows the stack ends. Okay, it's a little bit... Stack ends right here. Decay call stream right. That's the way how we tell Linux host extension, please take core dump, I'm damaged, Bencom. But if we do bank here, in working the debugger extension, now we see Linux stack here. And if we click on Linux frame, you see here is the Linux sources and where the execution is. The same way we can do, say, bank tail and it gives me a list of... That's probably a bad idea. About a couple of thousand of threads there. It gives me a list of all threads which run in the system. And some of the threads are not visible to WinDBG. Some threads are launched specifically for host extension needs. And WinDBG cannot see them. But through that host extension, I see them and I can also inspect the memory or whatever. And we also have commands to do single step debugging, set breakpoints inside Linux host extension using extensions. And we set breakpoints and do single step, whatever, debugging in WinDBG world, in P world using normal Windows commands. Pretty much if you single step through the program, in WinDBG world, it will skip over the Linux host extension calls. All right guys, questions? Hey guys, any questions guys? Hi, so say I have an arm stop or a laptop. What's the actual path to run this on arm systems? Is it released yet? I know you showed it, so I believe it works. So yeah, like I said before, on arm, this is a new product that's now called SQL Server, it's called Azure SQL Database Edge. We announced it at build, it's not GA yet. We have a private preview of it. It's not going to be released the same way that we have released SQL Server for box. It's going to be tied to an OEM, but for testing and validation and all these things in development, we're gonna have containers available for it as well. We do have an EAP, so if you're interested, you can search for Azure SQL Database Edge EAP and it will actually take you there. Early adoption program, that's what it means. I can give you more information offline. Thank you. Good question, in the back. So with all of this increased abstraction layers to map between Windows constructs and Linux constructs and SQL being a performance-based product, how do you guys overcome all of the additional latencies in this process? It seems like there's a lot of layers here. And I mean, if we're trying to query something in a reasonable amount of time, right, like this has to be fast. Right, so as you can imagine, this is a generic concern from our customers. I can tell you that we have really smart people, not me, working on the product. And we have basically established performance baselines for SQL Server Linux, and they're basically on par with Windows these days. As a matter of fact, one of our bosses thinks that we can go faster than Windows. We haven't gotten there yet. We're basically par on, so same performance on Windows and Linux. Are there public metrics? Are those public published metrics? So you're gonna see some TPC-E, if they're not public out yet, there are some TPC-H benchmarks that we have comparing SQL Server Linux to SQL Server Windows, that's fairly similar. And we're also gonna have TPC-E. If it hasn't been published yet, it will come out soon. Are there any use cases of SQL Server that are slower on Linux than on Windows? I can't think of any. So there have been regressions and bugs that we have fixed were, like I mentioned, time. So querying down a time path. So that user shared page that's mapped into a process that has a little bit that says, hey, can I go fast when I query time? And so we weren't exposing that correctly. So you could query time in a loop on Windows versus Linux and it would be like 10 times slower on Linux, but that should be now resolved. So there are bugs, right? But most of them we can fix. So it's not a performance question. I'm just curious about your user links. So you've mentioned, I understand it's like a plans for the future. But then I guess you already more or less realize how can it work from the design perspective. And two most important parts there about, well, at least what I'm aware of, it's this balance between completion and submission queues, can SQL Server by itself already handle this situation, the balance between those two. So one will not, for example, oversaturate the system by just submission. Can SQL Server do this? Sure. So IO completion ports have a concept of parallelism. So you can say, how much parallelism do I have my IO completion port? And there is internal rate limiting. But yeah, it's something we have to design. We haven't thought about it fully yet. But the IO model of libOS and SQLPOW is it matches the pattern of IO U-ring pretty closely where you go issue an async IO and then you immediately pull it for completion and then you can have this background guy that can complete it in the background. And so we're already having these dedicated pump threads. So theoretically those guys can just go pump out of U-ring instead of the current APIs that they're using. And then the second related question. It's also, well, there are some limitations. For example, the memory for those IO rings should be locable. So it's like up to, I don't remember. There's some limit. So there is also a good question. How many of those rings you wanna have? So any ideas like pet thread process? Sure. I mean, I don't have any numbers. Okay. The similar problem with kernel AIO as well, right? Where you can only have so many kernel AIO descriptors or whatever they're called in flight on the process. And so that's something that manages well right now. Okay. Thanks. Any other questions? One more question? All right. So the Alvin in the room, you did mention wine. So why not just extend wine with the API calls that you needed? Sure. So there's a lot of reasons. One of the main reasons was, so before SQL Surrealinix, Eugene and our boss worked on a research operating system inside Microsoft called Midori. And so Midori actually used the MSR research project drawbridge to get Windows compatibility on Midori. Because Midori didn't run normal Windows applications. So he was pretty intimately familiar with the technology. We already knew it worked. It was proven. And also there's like licensing issues. There's, we can make SQL Pal as optimized as we want for SQL server rather than fork wine and do custom changes. And there's lots of reasons. Another reason is that, you know, on the original slide with architecture, there was Win32kc's Midori. We take it from Windows, unmodified. We patch it. We patch it. We remove privileged instruction it after we load it. But on disk it is unmodified. So we can keep in sync with new releases of Windows. Really easy. We just grab new Win32kc's, new HTTPS's, new, and with wine, you have what you have, right? It's adoption of new APIs and security fixes for different cadents. I think the GPL part is the most concerning one for us for wine, right? It's not really very friendly for two commercial software. You also distribute Linux kernel. But anyway, thank you for that. Brian, Eugene and Arjunas. Yeah, thanks guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq1WTLnntIg", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

The Truth in Jesus by George MacDonald. Ephesians chapter 4, verses 20 through 22. But ye did not so learn Christ, if so be that ye heard Him and were taught in Him even as truth is in Jesus, that ye put away as concerning your former manner of life the old man which waxeth corrupt after the lust of deceit. Here MacDonald inserts a footnote which reads, that is, which is still going to ruin through the love of the lie. Footnote closed. How have we learned Christ? It ought to be a startling thought that we may have learned Him wrong. That must be far worse than not to have learned Him at all. His place is occupied by a false Christ, hard to exercise. The point is, whether we have learned Christ as He taught Himself or as men have taught Him who thought they understood but did not understand Him. Do we think we know Him with notions fleshly after lo mean human fancies and explanations? Or do we indeed know Him after the Spirit in our measure as God knows Him? The Christian religion throughout its history has been open to more corrupt misrepresentation than ever the Jewish could be, for it is higher and wider, so must it yield larger scope to corruption. Have we learned Christ in false statements and corrupted lessons about Him? Or have we learned Himself? Nay, true or false, is only our brain full of things concerning Him, or does He dwell Himself in our hearts? A learnt and ever-being learnt lesson, the power of our life. I have been led to say what I am about to say by a certain utterance of one in the front rank of those who assert that we can know nothing of the infinite and eternal energy from which all things proceed, and the utterance is this. The visiting on Adam's descendants through hundreds of generations dreadful penalties for a small transgression which they did not commit, the damning of all men who do not avail themselves of an alleged mode of obtaining forgiveness which most men have never heard of, and the effecting of reconciliation by sacrificing a son who was perfectly innocent to satisfy the assumed necessity for a propitiatory victim, are modes of action which, ascribed to a human ruler, would call forth expressions of abhorrence, and the ascription of them to the ultimate cause of things even not felt to be full of difficulties must become impossible. I do not quote the passage with the design of opposing either clause of its statement, for I entirely agree with it. Almost it fills an absurdity to say so. Neither do I propose addressing a word to the writer of it, or to any who hold with him. The passage bears out what I have often said, that I never yet heard a word from one of that way of thinking which even touched anything I hold. One of my earliest recollections is of beginning to be at strife with the false system here assailed. Such paganism I scorn as heartily in the name of Christ as I scorn it in the name of righteousness. Rather than believe a single point involving its spirit, even with the assurance thereby of such salvation as the system offers, I would join the ranks of those who know nothing and set myself with hopeless heart to what I am now trying with an infinite hope in the help of the pure originating one, to get rid of my miserable mean self comforted only by the chance that death would either leave me without thought more, or reveal something of the ultimate cause which it would not be an insult to him or a dishonor to his creature to hold concerning him. Even such a chance alone might enable one to live. I will not now inquire how it comes that the writer of the passage quoted seems to put forward these so-called beliefs as representing Christianity, or even the creed of those who call themselves Christians. Seeing so many, and some of them of higher rank in literature than himself, believing in Christ with true hearts, believed not one of such things as he has set down, but hold them in at least as great abhorrence as he. His answer would probably be that, even had he been aware of such being the fact, what he had to deal with was the forming and ruling notions of religious society, and that such are the things held by the bulk of both educated and uneducated calling themselves Christians. However many of them may vainly think by an explanatory clause here and there to turn away from the opprobrium of their falsehood while they remain virtually the same. That such are the things so held, I am, alas, unable to deny. It helps nothing, I repeat, that many, thinking little on the matter, use quasi-mitigated forms to express their tenets, and imagine that so they indicate a different class of ideas. It would require but a brief examination to be convinced that they are not merely analogous, they are ultimately identical. But had I to do with the writer, I should ask how it comes that, refusing these dogmas as abominable and in themselves plainly false, yet knowing that they are attributed to men whose teaching has done more to civilize the world than that of any men besides, how it comes that, seeing such teaching as this could not have done so, he has not taken such pains of inquiry as must surely have satisfied a man of his faculty that such was not their teaching, that it was indeed so different and so good that even the forced companionship of such horrible lies as those he has recounted has been unable to destroy its regenerative power. I suppose that he will allow that there was a man named Jesus who died for the truth he taught. Can he believe he died for such an alleged truth as that? Would it not be well, I would ask him, to inquire what he did really teach, according to the primary sources of our knowledge of him? If he answered that the question was uninteresting to him, I should have no more to say. Nor did I now start to speak of him save with the object of making my position plain to those to whom I would speak, those, namely, who call themselves Christians. If of them I should ask, how comes it that such opinions are held concerning the Holy One whose ways you take upon you to set forth? I should be met by most with the answer. These are the things he tells us himself in his word. We have learned them from the scriptures, by many with explanations which seem to them so to explain the things that they are no longer to be reprobated, and by others with remark that better ideas, though largely held, had not yet had time to show themselves as the belief of the thinkers of the nation. Of those whose presentation of Christian doctrine is represented in the quotation above, there are two classes, such as are content it should be so, and such to whom those things are grievous, but who do not see how to get rid of them. To the latter it may be some little comfort to have one who has studied the New Testament for many years and loves it beyond the power of speech to express, declare to them his conviction that there is not an atom of such teaching and the whole lovely divine utterance, that such things are all and altogether the invention of men. Honest invention in part at least, I grant, but yet not true. Thank God we are no wise bound to accept any man's explanation of God's ways and God's doings, however good the man may be, if it do not commend itself to our conscience. The man's conscience may be a better conscience than ours, and his judgment clearer. Nothing the more can we accept while we cannot see good to do so would be to sin. But it is by no means my object to set forth what I believe or do not believe. A time may come for that. My design is now very different indeed. I desire to address those who call themselves Christians and expostulate with them thus. Whatever be your opinions on the greatest of all subjects, is it well that the impression with regard to Christianity made upon your generation should be that of your opinions and not of something beyond opinion? Is Christianity capable of being represented by opinion, even the best? If it were, how many of us are such as God would choose to represent his thoughts and intents by our opinions concerning them? Who is there of his friends whom any thoughtful man would depute to represent his thoughts to his fellows? If you answer, the opinions I hold and by which I represent Christianity are those of the Bible. I reply that none can understand, still less represent the opinions of another, but such is our of the same mind with him. Certainly none who mistake his whole scope and intent so far as in supposing opinion to be the object of any writer in the Bible. Is Christianity a system of articles of belief? Let them be correct as language can give them. Never. So far am I from believing it that I would rather have a man holding, as numbers of you do, what seemed to me the most obnoxious untruths, opinions the most irreverent and gross, if at the same time he lived in the faith of the Son of God, that is, trusted in God as the Son of God trusted in him. Then I would have a man with every one of whose formulas of belief I utterly coincided, but who knew nothing of a daily life and walk with God. The one holding doctrines of devils is yet a child of God. The other holding the doctrines of Christ and his apostles is of the world, yea, of the devil. How? A man hold the doctrine of devils and yet be of God? Yes, for to hold a thing with the intellect is not to believe it. A man's real belief is that which he lives by, and that which the man I mean lives by is the love of God and obedience to his law, so far as he has recognized it. Those hideous doctrines are outside of him. He thinks they are inside, but no matter, they are not true and they cannot really be inside any good man. They are sadly within him, for he cannot love to dwell upon any of those supposed characteristics of his God. He acts and lives, nevertheless, in a measure like the true God. What a man believes is the thing he does. This man would shrink with loathing from actions such as he thinks God justified in doing. Like God, he loves and helps and saves. Will the living God let such a man's opinions damn him? No more than he will let the correct opinions of another, who lives for himself, save him. The best salvation even the latter could give would be but damnation. What I come to and insist upon is that, supposing your theory is right and containing all that is to be believed, yet those theories are not what makes you Christians, if Christians indeed you are. On the contrary, they are, with not a few of you, just what keeps you from being Christians. For when you say that to be saved, a man must hold this or that, then you are leaving the living God in his will and putting trust in some notion about him or his will. To make my meaning clearer, some of you say that we must trust in the finished work of Christ. Or, again, our faith must be in the merits of Christ, in the atonement he has made, in the blood he has shed. All these statements are a simple repudiation of the living Lord, in whom we are told to believe, who, by his presence with us and in us and our obedience to him, lifts us out of darkness into light, and leads us from the kingdom of Satan into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. No manner or amount of belief about him is the faith of the New Testament. With such teaching I have had a life-long acquaintance and declare it most miserably false. Accept the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus, make a man sick of his opinions, he may hold them to doomsday for me. For no opinion, I repeat, is Christianity, and no preaching of any plan of salvation is the preaching of the glorious gospel of the living God. Even if your plan, your theories, were absolutely true, the holding of them with sincerity, the trusting in this or that about Christ, or in anything he did or could do, the trusting in anything but himself, his own living self, is a delusion. Many will grant this heartily, and yet the moment you come to talk with them, you find they insist that to believe in Christ is to believe in the atonement, meaning by that only and altogether their special theory about the atonement. And when you say we must believe in the atoning Christ and cannot possibly believe in any theory concerning the atonement, they go away and denounce you saying, He does not believe in the atonement. If I explain the atonement otherwise than they explain it, they assert that I deny the atonement, nor count it of any consequence that I say I believe in the atoner in my whole heart and soul and strength and mind. This they call contending for the truth. But I refuse an explanation which is not in the New Testament, though they believe it is because they can think of no other. One which seems to me as false and logic as detestable and morals, not to say that there is no spirituality in it whatever, therefore I am not a Christian. Wonder men such as I have quoted refuse the Christianity they suppose believers to represent. I do not say that with this sad folly may not mingle a potent faith in the Lord himself. But I do say that the importance they place on the theory is even more sadly obstructive to true faith than such theories themselves, while the mind is occupied in inquiring. Do I believe or feel this thing right? The true question is forgotten. Have I left all to follow him? To the man who gives himself to the living Lord, every belief will necessarily come right. The Lord himself will see that his disciples believe a right concerning him. If a man cannot trust him for this, what claim can he make the faith in him? It is because he has little or no faith that he has left clinging to preposterous and dishonoring ideas, the traditions of men concerning his father, and neither his teaching nor that of his apostles. The living Christ is to them but a shadow. The all but obliterated Christ of their theories no soul can thoroughly believe in. The disciple of such a Christ rest on his work, or his merits, or his atonement. What I insist upon is that a man's faith shall be in the living, loving, ruling, helping Christ. Devoted to us as much as ever he was, and with all the powers of Godhead for the salvation of his brethren, it is not faith that he did this, that his work wrought that. It is faith in the man who did and is doing everything for us that will save him. Without this he cannot work to heal spiritually any more than he would heal physically when he was present to the eyes of men. Do you ask, what is faith in him? I answer, the leaving of your way, your objects, yourself, and the taking of his and him. The leaving of your trust in men, in money, in opinion, in character, in atonement itself, and doing as he tells you. I can find no words strong enough to serve for the weight of this necessity, this obedience. It is the one terrible heresy of the church that it has always been presenting something else than obedience as faith in Christ. The work of Christ is not the working Christ. Any more than the clothing of Christ is the body of Christ. If the woman who touched the hem of his garment had trusted in the garment and him who wore it, would she have been healed? And the reason that so many who believe about Christ rather than in him gets the comfort they do is that, touching thus the mere hem of his garment, they cannot help believing a little in the live man inside the garment. It is not wonderful that such believers should so often be miserable. They lay themselves down to sleep with nothing but the skirt of his robe in their hand. A robe, too, I say, that never was his. Only by them is supposed his. When they might sleep in peace with the living Lord in their hearts. Instead of so knowing Christ that they have him in them, saving them, they lie wasting themselves in soul-sickening self-examination as to whether they are believers, whether they are really trusting in the atonement, whether they are truly sorry for their sins, the way to madness of the brain and despair of the heart. Some even ponder the imponderable, whether they are of the elect, whether they have an interest in the blood shed for sin, whether theirs is a saving faith. When all the time the man who died for them is waiting to begin to save them from every evil, and first from this self assuming them with trouble about its salvation, he will set them free and take them home to the bosom of the Father if only they will mind what he says to them, which is the beginning, middle, and end of faith. If, instead of searching into the mysteries of corruption in their own charnel houses, they would but awaken a rise from the dead and come out into the light which Christ is waiting to give them, and begin at once to fill them with the fullness of God. But I do not know how to awake and arise. I will tell you. Get up, and do something the Master tells you. So make yourself his disciple at once. Instead of asking yourself whether you believe or not, ask yourself whether you have this day done one thing because he said do it, or abstained because he said do not do it. It is simply absurd to say you believe or even want to believe in him if you do not anything he tells you. If you can think of nothing he ever said as having had an atom of influence on your doing or not doing, you have too good ground to consider yourself no disciple of his. Do not, I pray you, worse than waste your time in trying to convince yourself that you are his disciple notwithstanding, that for this reason or that you still have cause to think you believe in him. What though you should succeed in persuading yourself to absolute certainty that you are his disciple, if after all he says to you, why did you not do the things I told you? Depart from me, I do not know you. Instead of trying to persuade yourself if the thing be true, you can make it truer. If it be not true, you can begin at once to make it true to be a disciple of the living one by obeying him in the first thing you can think of in which you are not obeying him. We must learn to obey him in everything and so must begin somewhere. Let it be at once and in the very next thing that lies at the door of our conscience. O fools and slow of heart if you think of nothing but Christ and do not set yourselves to do his words. You but build your houses on the sand. What have such teachers not to answer for who have turned your regard away from the direct words of the Lord himself which are spirit and life to contemplate plans of salvation tortured out of the words of his apostles even were those plans as true as they are false. There is but one plan of salvation and that is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that is to take him for what he is our master and his words as if he meant them which assuredly he did. To do his words is to enter into vital relation with him. To obey him is the only way to be one with him. The relation between him and us is an absolute one. It can know how begin to live but in obedience it is obedience. There can be no truth no reality in any initiation of at one meant with him that is not obedience. What? Have I the poorest notion of God and dare think of entering into relations with him the very first of which is not that what he saith I will do. The thing is eternally absurd and comes from the father of lies. I know what he whispers to those to whom such teaching as this is distasteful it is the doctrine of works. But one word of the Lord humbly heard and received will suffice to send all the demons of false theology into the abyss. He says the man who does not do the things he tells him builds his house to fall in utter ruin. He instructs his messengers to go and baptize all nations teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Tell me it is faith he requires do I not know it and is not faith the highest act of which the human mind is capable but faith in what? Faith in what he is in what he says a faith which can have no existence except in obedience a faith which is obedience to do what he wishes is to put forth faith in him for this the teaching of men has substituted this or that belief about him faith in this or that supposed design of his manifestation in the flesh it was himself and God in him that he manifested but faith in him and his father thus manifested they make altogether secondary to the acceptance of the paltry contrivance of a juggling morality which they attribute to God and his Christ imagining it the atonement and the plan of salvation do you put faith in him I ask or in the doctrines and commandments of men if you say in him is it then possible I return that you do not see that above all things and all thoughts you are bound to obey him do you not mourn that you cannot trust in him as you would that you find it too hard too hard it is for you and too hard it will remain while the thing he tells you to do the things you can do even those you will not try how should you be capable of trusting in the true one while you are know wise true to him how are you to believe he will do his part by you while you are not such as to do your part by him how are you to believe while you are not faithful how I say should you be capable of trusting in him the very thing to make you able to trust in him and so receive all things from him you turn your back upon obedience you decline or at least neglect you say you do not refuse to obey him I care not whether you refuse or not while you do not obey remember the parable I go sir and went not what have you done this day because it was the will of Christ have you dismissed once dismissed an anxious thought for the moral have you ministered to any needy soul or body and kept your right hand from knowing what your left hand did have you begun to leave all and follow him did you set yourself to judge righteous judgment are you being aware of covetousness have you forgiven your enemy are you seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness before all other things are you hungering and thirsting after righteousness have you given to someone that asked of you tell me something that you have done are doing or are trying to do because he told you if you do nothing that he says it is no wonder that you cannot trust in him and are therefore driven to seek refuge in the atonement as if something he had done and not he himself in his doing were the atonement that is not as you understand it what does it matter how you understand or what you understand so long as you are not of one mind with the truth so long as you and God are not one do not atone together how should you understand knowing that you do not heed his word why should I heed your explanation of it you do not his will and so you cannot understand him you do not know him that is why you cannot trust in him you think your common sense enough to let you know what he means your common sense ought to be enough to know itself unequal to the task it is the heart of the child that alone can understand the father would you have me think you guilty of the sin against the holy ghost that you understand Jesus Christ and yet will not obey him that were too dreadful I believe you do not understand him no man can do yet what he tells him right but are you trying obedience is not perfection but trying you count him a hard master and will not stir do you suppose he ever gave a commandment knowing it was of no use for it could not be done he tells us a thing knowing that we must do it or be lost that not his father himself could save us but by getting us at length to do everything he commands for not otherwise can we know life can we learn the holy secret of divine being he knows that you can try and that in your trying and failing he will be able to help you until at length you shall do the will of God even as he does it himself he takes the will in the imperfect deed and makes the deed at last perfect correctest notions without obedience are worthless the doing of the will of God is the way to oneness with God which alone is salvation sitting at the gate of heaven sitting on the footstole of the throne itself yay, clasping the knees of the father you could not be at peace except in every vital movement in every their smallest point of consciousness your heart, your soul, your mind, your brain, your body were one with the living God if you had one brooding thought that was not a joy in him you would not be at peace if you had one desire you could not leave absolutely to his will you would not be at peace you would not be saved therefore could not feel saved God, all in all ours to the fulfilling of our very being is the religion of the perfect, sun-hearted Lord Christ well do I know it is faith that saves us but not faith in any work of God it is faith in God himself if I did not believe God as good as the tenderest human heart the fairest, the purest, the most unselfish human heart could imagine him yay, an infinitude better higher than we as the heavens are higher than the earth believe it not as a proposition or even as a thing I was convinced of but with the responsiveness of condition and being of my whole nature if I did not feel every fiber of heart and brain and body safe with him because he is the father who made me that I am I would not be saved for this faith is salvation it is God and the man one God and man together the vital energy flowing unchecked from the creator into his creature that is the salvation of the creature but the poorest faith in the living God the God revealed in Christ Jesus if it be vital true that is obedient is the beginning of the way to know him and to know him is eternal life if you mean by faith anything of a different kind that faith will not save you a faith for instance that God does not forgive me because he loves me but he loves Jesus Christ cannot save me because it is a falsehood against God if the thing were true such a gospel would be the preaching of a God that was not love therefore in whom was no salvation a God to know whom could not be eternal life such a faith would damn not save a man for it would bind him to a God who is anything but perfect such assertions going by the name of Christianity are nothing but the poor remnants of paganism and it is only with that part of our nature not yet Christian that we are able to believe them so far indeed as it is possible a lie should be believed we must forsake all our fears and distrust for Christ we must receive his teaching heartily nor let the interpretation of it attributed to his apostles make us turn aside from it I say interpretation attributed to them for what they teach is never against what Christ taught though very often the exposition of it is and that from no fault in the apostles but from the grievous fault of those who would understand and even explain rather than obey we may be sure of this that no man will be condemned for any sin that is past that if he be condemned it will be because he would not come to the light when the light came to him because he would not cease to do evil and learn to do well because he hid his unbelief in the garment of a false faith and would not obey because he imputed to himself a righteousness that was not his because he preferred imagining himself a worthy person to confessing himself everywhere in the wrong and repenting we may be sure also of this that if a man becomes the disciple of Christ he will not leave him in ignorance as to what he has to believe he shall know the truth of everything it is needful for him to understand if we do what he tells us his light will go up in our hearts till then we could not understand even if he explained it to us if you cannot trust him to let you know what is right but think you must hold this or that before you can come to him then I justify your doubts on what you call your worst times but which I suspect are your best times in which you come nearest to the truth those namely in which you fear you have no faith so long as a man will not set himself to obey the word spoken the word written the word printed the word read of the Lord Christ I would not take the trouble to convince him concerning the most obnoxious doctrines that they were false as hell it is those who would fain believe but who by such doctrines are hindered whom I would help disputation about things but hides the living Christ who alone can teach the truth who is the truth and the knowledge of whom is life I write for the sake of those whom the false teaching that claims before all to be true has driven away from God as well it might for the God so taught is not a God worthy to believed in a stick or a stone or a devil is all that some of our brethren of mankind have to believe in he who believes in a God not altogether unselfish and good a God who does not do all he can for his creatures belongs to the same class his is not the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the fountains of water not the God revealed in Christ if a man see in God any darkness at all and especially if he defend that darkness attempting to justify it as one who respects the person of God I cannot but think his blindness must have followed his mockery of Lord Lord surely if he had been strenuously obeying Jesus he would air now have received the truth that God is light and in him is no darkness a truth which is not acknowledged by calling the darkness attributed to him light and the candle of the Lord in the soul of man darkness it is one thing to believe that God can do nothing wrong quite another to call whatever presumption may attribute to him right the whole secret of progress is the doing of the thing we know there is no other way of progress in the spiritual life no other way of progress in the understanding of that life only as we do can we know is there anything you will not leave for Christ you cannot know him and yet he is the truth the one thing alone that can be known do you not care to be imperfect would you rather keep this or that with imperfection than part with it to be perfect you cannot know Christ for the very principle of his life was the simple absolute relation of realities his one idea was to be a perfect child to his father he who will not part with all for Christ is not worthy of him and cannot know him and the Lord is true and cannot acknowledge him how could he receive to his house as one of his kind a man who prefers something to his father a man who is not for God a man who will strike a bargain with God and say I will give up so much if thou wilt spare me to yield all to him who has only made us and given us everything yea his very self by life and by death such a man counts too much his conduct says I never asked thee to do so much for me and I cannot make the return thou demandest the man will have to be left to himself he must find what it is to be without God those who know God or have begun to catch a far off glimmer of his gloriousness of what he is regard life as insupportable save God be the all in all the first and the last to let their light shine not to force on them their interpretations of God's designs is the duty of Christians towards their fellows if you who set yourself to explain the theory of Christianity had set yourselves instead to do the will of the master the one object for which the gospel was preached to you how different would now be the condition of that portion of the world with which you come into contact had you given yourselves to the understanding of his word that you might do it and not to the querying from it of material wherewith to buttress your systems and many a heart by this time would the name of the Lord be loved where now it remains unknown the word of life would then by you have been held out indeed men undeterred by your explanations of Christianity for you would not be forcing them on their acceptance and attracted by your behavior would be saying to each other as Moses said to himself when he saw the bush that burned with fire and was not consumed I will now turn aside and see this great sight they would be drawing nigh to behold how these Christians love one another and how just and fair they were to every one that had to do with them to note that their goods were the best their weight the surest their prices most reasonable their word most certain that in their families was neither jealousy nor emulation that mammon was not their worshiped that in their homes selfishness was neither the hidden nor the openly ruling principle that their children were as diligently taught to share as some are to save or to lay out only upon self their mothers more anxious less the child should hoard than lest he should squander that in no house of theirs was religion one thing and the daily life another that the ecclesiastic did not think first of his church nor the peer of his privileges what do I hear you say how then shall the world go on the Lord's world will go on and that without you the devil's world will go on and that with you the objection is but another an overwhelming proof of your unbelief either you do not believe the word of the Lord's spake that if we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness all things needful will be added to us or what he undertakes does not satisfy you it is not enough you want more you prefer the offers of mammon you are no wise anxious to be saved from the too much that is a snare you want what you call a fortune the freedom of the world you would not live under such restrictions as the Lord might choose to lay upon you if he saw that something might be made of you precious in his sight you would inherit the earth and not by meekness you would have the life of this world sweet come of the life eternal the life that God shares with you what may so much as that comes to you would gladly leave God to look after if only you might be sure of not sharing with the rich man when you die but you find that unable to trust him for this world neither can you trust him for the world to come refusing to obey him in your life how can you trust him for your life hence the various substitutes you seek for faith in him you would hold him to his word bind him by his promises appeal to the atonement to the satisfaction made to his justice as you call it while you will take no trouble to fill the absolutely reasonable and necessary condition yea morally and spiritually imperative condition condition and means in one on which he offers and through which alone he can offer you deliverance from the burden of life into the strength and glory of life that you shall be true and to him obedient children you say Christ has satisfied the law but you will not satisfy him he says come unto me and you will not rise and go to him you say Lord I believe help my unbelief but when he says leave everything behind you and be as I am towards God and you shall have peace and rest you turn away muttering about figurative language if you had been true had been living the life had been Christians indeed you would however little have drawn the world after you in your churches you would be receiving truest nourishment yea strength to live thinking far less of serving God on the Sunday and far more of serving your neighbor in the week the sociable vile the masterful rich the deceitful trader the ambitious poor whom you have attracted to your communities with the offer of a salvation other than the deliverance from sin would not be lording it over them and dragging them down they would be the cleaner and the stronger for their absence while the publicans and the sinners would have been drawn instead and turned into true men and women and the Israelite indeed who is yet more repelled by your general worldliness than by your misrepresentations of God showing him selfish like yourselves who is the purity of the creation the Israelite in whom is no guile would have hastened to the company of the loving men and true eager to learn what it was that made them so good so happy so unselfish so free of care so ready to die so willing to live so hopeful so helpful so careless to possess deferential to possession finding you to hold from the traditional force of false teaching such things as you do he would have said no such beliefs can never account for such mighty results you would have answered search the scriptures and see he would have searched and found not indeed the things you imagine there but things infinitely better and higher things that indeed count for the result he wondered at he would have found such truth as he who has found will hold forever as the only gladness of his being there you would have had your reward for being true Christians in spite of the evil doctrines you had been taught and teaching you would have been taught in return the truth of the matter by him whom your true Christianity had enticed itself and sent to the fountainhead free of the prejudices that disabled your judgment thus delivered from the false notions which could not fail to have stunted your growth hither too how rapid would it not have become if any of you tell me my doctrine is presumptuous that it is contrary to what is taught in the New Testament and what the best of men have always believed I will not therefore proceed to defend even my beliefs the principles on which I try to live much less my opinions I appeal to you instead whether or not I have spoken the truth concerning our paramount obligation to do the word of Christ if you answer that I have not I have nothing more to say there is no other ground on which we can meet but if you allow that it is a prime even if you do not allow it the prime duty then what I insist upon is that you should do it so and not otherwise recommending the knowledge of him I do not attempt to change your opinions if they are wrong the obedience alone on which I insist can enable you to set them right I only pray you to obey and assert that thus only can you fit yourselves for understanding the mind of Christ I say none but he who does right can think right you cannot know Christ to be right until you do as he does as he tells you to do neither can you set him forth until you know him as he means himself to be known that is as he is if you are serving and trusting in mammon how can you know the living God who the source of life is alone to be trusted in if you do not admit that it is the duty of a man to do the word of Christ or if admitting the duty you yet do not care to perform it why should I care to convince you that my doctrine is right what is it to any true man what you think of his doctrine what does it matter what you think of any doctrine if I could convince your judgment your heart remaining as they are I should but add to your condemnation the true heart must see it once that however wrong I may or may not be in other things at least I am right in this that Jesus must be obeyed and at once obeyed in the things he did say it will not long imagine to obey him in things he did not say if a man do what is unpleasing to Christ believing at his will he shall yet gain thereby for it gives the Lord a hold of him which he will use but before he can reach liberty he must be delivered from that falsehood for him who does not choose to see that Christ must be obeyed he must be left to the teaching of the Father who brings all that here and learn of him to Christ that they may learn what he is who has taught them and brought them he will leave no man to his own way however much he may prefer it the Lord did not die to provide a man with the wretched heaven he may invent for himself or accept invented for him by others he died to give him life and bring him to the heaven of the Father's peace the children must share in the essential bliss of the Father and the Son this is and has been the Father's work from the beginning to bring us into the home of his heart where he shares the glories of life with the living one in whom was born life to light men back to the original life this is our destiny and however a man may refuse he will find it hard to fight with God useless to kick against the goads of his love for the Father is goading him or will goad him if needful into life by unrest and trouble hellfire will have its turn if less will not do can any need it more than such as will neither enter the kingdom of heaven themselves nor suffer them to enter that would the old race of the Pharisees is by no means extinct they were Saint Paul's great trouble and are yet to be found in every religious community under the sun the one only thing truly to reconcile all differences is to walk in the light so Saint Paul teaches us in his epistle to the Philippians the third chapter in the sixteenth verse after setting forth the loftiest idea of human endeavor and declaring the summit of his own aspiration he says not this must be your endeavor also or you cannot be saved but if in anything you be otherwise minded God shall reveal even this unto you nevertheless where to we have already attained let us walk by the same observe what widest conceivable scope is given by the apostle to honest opinion even in things of grandest import the one only essential point with him is that where to we have attained what we have seen to be true we walk by that in such walking and in such walking only love will grow truth will grow the soul then first in its genuine element and true relation towards God will see into reality that was before but a blank to it and he who has promised to teach will teach abundantly faster and faster will the glory of the Lord dawn upon the hearts and minds of his people so walking then his people indeed fast and far will the knowledge of him spread truth of action both proceeding and following truth of word will prepare the way before him the man walking and that where to he has attained will be able to think a right the man who does not think right is unable because he has not been walking right only when he begins to do the thing he knows does he begin to be able to think a right then God comes to him in a new and higher way and works along with the spirit he has created the soul without its heaven above its head without its life breath around it without its love treasure in its heart without its origin one with it and bound up in it without its true self and originating life cannot think to any real purpose nor ever would to all eternity when man joins with God then is all impotence and discord cast out until then there can be but jar God is in contest with the gates of hell that open in the man and can but hold his own when the man joins him then is Satan foiled for then first nature receives her necessity no such necessity as she as this law of all laws that God and man are one until they begin to be one in the reality as in the divine idea in the flower as in the root in the finishing as in the issuing creation nothing can go right with the man and God can have no rest from his labor in him as the greatest orbs in heaven are drawn by the least God himself must be held in divine disquiet until every one of his family be brought home to his heart to be one with him in a unity to absolute, profound, far reaching fine and intense to be understood by any but the God from whom it comes yet to be guessed at by the soul from the unspeakableness of its delight when at length it is with the only that can be its own the one that it can possess the one that can possess it for God is the heritage of the soul in the oneness of origin man is the offspring of his making will of his life God himself is his birthplace God is the self that makes the soul able to say I too, I myself this absolute unspeakable bliss of the creature is that for which the son died for which the father suffered with him then only is life itself then only is it right is it one then only is it as designed and necessitated by the eternal life out giving life where to then we have attained let us walk by that same End of Chapter 12 Series 2 According by David Baldwin Unspoken Sermons by George MacDonald To my wife son and wind and rain the Lord is to cede his father buried for he is the living word and the quickening spirit Bordeguerra, May 3rd, 1889 the creation in Christ all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made in him was life and the life was the light of men John Chapter 1, Verses 3 and 4 it seems to me that any lover of the gospel given to thinking and especially one accustomed to the effort of uttering thought can hardly have failed to fill dissatisfaction more or less definite with the close of the third verse as here presented to English readers it seems to me in its feebleness unlike and rhetorically unworthy of the rest that it is no worse than pleonastic that is redundant therefore only unnecessary can be no satisfaction to the man who would find perfection if he may in the words of him who was nearer the Lord than any other the phrase that was made seems from its uselessness weak even to foolishness after what precedes all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made my hope was therefore great when I saw in reading the Greek that the shifting of a period would rid me of the pleonasm if there upon any precious result of meaning should follow the change should not merely be justifiable saying that points are of no authority with anyone accustomed to the vagaries of scribes editors and printers but one for which to give thanks to God and I found the change did unfold such a truth that showed the rhetoric itself in accordance with the highest thought of the apostle so glad was I that it added little to my satisfaction to find the change supported by the best manuscripts and versions it could add none to learn that the passage had been and respect of the two readings a cause of much disputation the ground of argument on the side of the common reading seemed to me worse than worthless let us then look at the passage as I think it ought to be translated and after that seek the meaning for the sake of which it was written it is a meaning indeed by no means dependent for its revelation on this passage belonging as it does to the very truth as it is in Jesus but it is therein magnificently expressed by the apostle and differently from anywhere else that is if I am right in the interpretation which suggested itself the moment I saw the probable rhetorical relation of the words all things were made through him and without him was made not one thing that which was made in him was life and the life was the light of men note the antithesis of the through and the in in this grand assertion seems to me to lie more than shadowed the germ of creation and redemption of all the divine in its relation to all the human in attempting to set forth what I find in it I write with no desire to provoke controversy which I loathe with some hope of presenting to the minds of such as have become capable of seeing it the glory of the truth of the father and the son as uttered by this first of seers after the grandest fashion of his insight I am as indifferent to a reputation for orthodoxy as I despise the championship of novelty to the untrue the truth itself must seem unsound for the light that is in them is darkness I believe then that Jesus Christ is the eternal son of the eternal father that from the first of firstness Jesus is the son because God is the father a statement imperfect and unfit because an attempt of human thought to represent that which it cannot grasp yet which it so believes that it must try to utter it even in speech that cannot be right I believe therefore that the father is the greater that if the father had not been the son could not have been I will not apply logic to the thesis nor would I state it now but for the sake of what is to follow the true heart will remember the inadequacy of our speech and our thought also to the things that lie near the unknown root of our existence in saying what I do I only say what Paul implies when he speaks of the Lord giving up the kingdom to his father that God may be all in all I worship the son as the human God the divine the only man deriving his being and power from the father equal with him as a son is the equal at once and the subject of his father but making himself equal to his father in what is most precious in Godhead namely love which is indeed the essence of that statement of the evangelist with which I have now to do a higher thing than the making of the worlds and the things in them which he did by the power of the father not by a self-existence power in himself whence the apostle to whom the Lord must have said things he did not say to the rest or who was better able to receive what he said to all says all things were made not by but through him we must not wonder things into non-entity but try to present them to ourselves after what fashion we are able our shadows of the heavenly for our very beings and understandings and consciousnesses though but shadows in regard to any perfection either of outline or operation are yet shadows of his being his understanding his consciousness and he has cast those shadows they are no more causally our own than his power of creation as ours in our shadow speech then and following with my shadow understanding is best I can the words of the evangelist I say the father and bringing out of the unseen the things that are seen made essential use of the son so that all that exists was created through him what the difference between the part and creation of the father and the part of the son may be who can understand but perhaps we may one day come to see into it a little for I dare hope that through our willed sonship we shall come far nearer ourselves to creating the word creation applied to the loftiest success of human genius seems to me a mockery of humanity itself in process of creation let us read the text again all things were made through him and without him was made not one thing that which was made in him was life you begin to see it the power by which he created the world was given him by his father he had in himself a greater power than that by which he made the world there was something made not through but in him something brought into being by himself here he creates in his grand way in himself as did the father that which was made in him was life what does this mean what is the life the apostle intends many forms of life have come to being through the son but those were results not forms of the life that was brought to existence in him he could not have been employed by the father in creating save in virtue of the life that was in him as to what the life of God is to himself we can only know that we cannot know it even that not being absolute ignorance for no one can see that from its very nature he cannot understand a thing without therein approaching that thing in a most genuine manner as to what the life of God is in relation to us we know that it is the causing life of everything we call life of everything that is and in knowing this we know something of that life by the very forms of its force but the one interminable mystery for I presume the two make but one mystery a mystery that must be a mystery to us forever not because God will not explain it but because God himself could not make us understand it is first how he can be self-existent and next how he can make other beings exist self-existence and creation no man will ever understand again regarding the matter from the side of the creature the cause of his being is antecedent to that being he can therefore have no knowledge of his own creation neither could he understand that which he can do nothing like if we could make ourselves we should understand our creation but to do that we must be God and of all ideas this that with the self dissatisfied painfully circumscribed consciousness I possess I could in any way have caused myself is the most dismal and hopeless nevertheless if I be a child of God I must be like him like him even in the matter of this creative energy there must be something in me that corresponds in its childish way to the eternal might in him but I am forstalling the question now is what was that life the thing made in the sun made by him inside himself not outside him made not through but in him the life that was his own as God's is his own it was I answer that act in him that corresponded in him as the son to the self existence of his father now what is the deepest in God his power no for power could not make him what we mean when we say God evil could of course never create one atom but let us understand very plainly that a being whose essence was only power would be such a negation of the divine that no righteous worship could be offered him his service must be fear and fear only such a being even where he righteous in judgment yet could not be God the God himself whom we love could not be righteous where he not something deeper and better still what we mean by the word but alas how little can language say without seeming to say something wrong in one word God is love love is the deepest depth the essence of his nature at the root of all his being it is not merely that he could not be God but love is the heart in hand of his creation it is his right to create and his power to create as well the love that foresees creation is itself the power to create neither could he be righteous that is fair to his creatures but that his love created them his perfection is his love all his divine rights rest upon his love ah, he is not the great monarch the simplest peasant loving his cow is more divine than any monarch whose monarchy is his glory if God would not punish sin or if he did it for anything but love he would not be the father of Jesus Christ the God who works as Jesus wrought what then I say once more is in Christ correspondent to the creative power of God it must be something that comes also of love and in the son the love must be to the already existent because of that eternal love which has no beginning the father must have the son God could not love could not be love without making things to love Jesus has God to love the love of that son is responsive to the love of the father the response to self existent love is self abnegating love the refusal of himself is that in Jesus which corresponds to the creation of God his love takes action creates in self abjuration in the death of self as motive in the drowning of self in the life of God where it lives only as love what is life in a child is it not perfect response to his parents thorough oneness with them a child at strife with his parents one in whom their will is not his is no child as a child he is dead and his death is manifest in rigidity and contortion his spiritual order is on the way to chaos disintegration has begun death is at work in him see the same child yielding to the will that is righteously above his own see the life begin to flow from his heart through the members see the relaxing limbs see the light rise like a fountain in his eyes and flash from his face life has again it's lordship the life of Christ is this negatively that he does nothing cares for nothing for his own sake positively that he cares with his whole soul for the will the pleasure of his father because his father is his father therefore he will be his child the truth in Jesus is his relation to his father the righteousness of Jesus is his fulfillment of that relation meeting this relation loving his father with his whole being he is not merely alive as born of God but giving himself with perfect will to God choosing to die to himself and live to God he therein creates in himself a new and higher life and standing upon himself has gained the power to awake life the divine shadow of his own in the hearts of us his brothers and sisters who have come from the same birth home as himself namely the heart of his God and our God his father and our father but who without our elder brother to do it first would never have chosen that self-abjuration which is life never have become alive like him to will not from self but with the eternal is to live this choice of his own being in the full knowledge of what he did this active willing to be the son of the father perfect in obedience is that in Jesus which responds and corresponds to the self existence of God Jesus rose at once to the height of his being set himself down on the throne of his nature in the act of subjecting himself to the will of the father as his only good the only reason of his existence when he died on the cross he did that in the wild weather of his outlying provinces in the torture of the body of his revelation which he had done at home in glory and gladness from the infinite beginning for here I can speak only by contradictions he completed and held fast the eternal circle of his existence in saying thy will not mine be done he made himself what he is by deathing himself into the will of the eternal father through which will he was the eternal son thus plunging into the fountain of his own life the everlasting fatherhood and taking the Godhead of the son this is the life that was made in Jesus that which was made in him was life this life self-willed in Jesus is the one thing that makes such life the eternal life the true life possible nay imperative essential to every man woman and child whom the father has sent into the outer that he may go back into the inner world his heart as the self-existent life of the father has given us being so the willed devotion of Jesus is his power to give us eternal life like his own to enable us to do the same there is no life for any man other than the same kind that Jesus has his disciple must live by the same absolute devotion of his will to the fathers then is his life one with the life of the father because we are come out of the divine nature which chooses to be divine we must choose to be divine to be of God to be one with God loving and living as he loves and lives and so be partakers of the divine nature or we perish man cannot originate this life it must be shown him and he must choose it God is the father of Jesus and of us of every possibility of our being but while God is the father of his children Jesus is the father of their sonship for in him is made the life which is sonship to the father the recognition namely in fact and life that the father has his claim upon his sons and daughters we are not and cannot become true sons without our will willing his will our doing following his making it was the will of Jesus to be the thing God willed and meant him that made him the true son of God he was not the son of God because he could not help it but because he willed to be in himself the son that he was in the divine idea so with us we must be the sons we are we are not made to be what we cannot help being sons and daughters are not after such fashion we are sons and daughters in God's claim we must be sons and daughters in our will and we can be sons and daughters saved into the original necessity and bliss of our being only by choosing God for the father he is and doing his will yielding ourselves true sons to the absolute father therein lies human bliss only and essential the working out of this our salvation must be pain and the handing of it down to them who are below must ever be in pain but the eternal form of the will of God in and for us is intensity of bliss and the life was the light of men the life of which I have now spoken became light to men in the appearing of him in whom it came into being the life became light that men might see it and themselves live by choosing that life also by choosing so to live such to be there is always something deeper than anything said a something of which all human all divine words letters, pictures, motion forms are but the outer laminar spheres through which the central reality shines more or less plainly light itself is but the poor outside form of a deeper better thing namely life the life is Christ the light too is Christ but only the body of Christ the life is Christ himself the light is what we see and shall see in him the life is what we may be in him the life is a light by abundant clarity invisible it is the unspeakable unknown it must become light such as men can see before men can know it therefore the obedient human God appeared as the obedient divine man in the works of his father the things that is which his father did doing them humbly before unfriendly brethren the son of the father must take his own form in the substance of flesh that he may be seen of men and so become the light of men not that men may have light but that men may have life that seeing what they could not originate they may through the life that is in them be the hunger after the life of which they are capable and which is essential to their being that the life in them may long for him who is their life and thirst for its own perfection even as root and stem may thirst for the flower for whose sake and through whose presence in them they exist that the child of God may become the son of God by beholding the son the life revealed in light that the radiant heart of the son of God may be the sunlight to his fellows that the idea may be drawn out by the presence and drawing of the ideal that ideal the perfect son of the father was sent to his brethren let us not forget that the devotion of the son could never have been but for the devotion of the father who never seeks his own glory one atom more than does the son who is devoted to the son and to all his sons and daughters with the devotion perfect and eternal with fathomless unselfishness the whole being and doing of Jesus on earth is the same as his being and doing from all eternity that whereby he is the blessed son God of the father God it is the shining out of that life that men might see it it is a being like God doing of the will of God a working of the works of God therefore an unveiling of the father in the son that men may know him it is the prayer of the son to the rest of the sons to come back to the father to be reconciled to the father to behave to the father as he does he seems to me to say I know your father for he is my father I know him because I have been from eternity you do not know him I have come to you to tell you that as I am such is he that he is just like me only greater and better he only is the true original good I am true because I seek nothing but his will he only is all in all I am not all in all my father and I am the son in whom his heart of love is satisfied come home with me and sit with me on the throne of my obedience together we will do his will and be glad with him for his will is the only good you may do with me as you please I will not defend myself because I speak true my witness is unswerving I stand to it come what may if I held my face to my testimony only till danger came close and then prayed the father for twelve legions of angels to deliver me that would be to say the father would do anything for his children until it began to hurt him I bear witness that my father is such as I in the face of death I assert it and dare death to disprove it kill me do what you will and can against me my father is true and I am true in saying that he is true danger or hurt cannot turn me aside from this my witness death can only kill my body he cannot make me his captive father thy will be done the pain will pass it will be but for a time gladly will I suffer that men may know that I live that thou art my life my father that it may not be more than I can bear friends if you think anything less than this could redeem the world or make blessed any child that God has created you know neither the son nor the father the bond of the universe the chain that holds it together the one act of unity the harmony of things the negation of difference the reconciliation of all forms all shows all wandering desires all returning loves the fact at the root of every vision revealing that love is the only good in the world and selfishness the one thing hateful in the city of the living God unutterable is the devotion of the son to the father it is the life of the universe it is not the fact that God created that makes the universe a whole but that he through whom he created them loves him perfectly is eternally content in his father is satisfied to be because his father is with him it is not the fact that God is all in all that unites the universe it is the love of the son to the father for of no onehood comes unity there can be no oneness where there is only one for the very beginnings of unity there must be two without Christ therefore there could be no universe the reconciliation wrought by Jesus is not the primary source of unity of safety to the world that reconciliation was the necessary working out of the eternal antecedent fact the fact making itself potent upon the rest of the family that God and Christ are father and son the father loving the son as only the father can love the son loving the father as only the son can love the prayer of the lord for unity between men and the father and himself springs from the eternal need of love the more I regard it the more I am lost in the wonder and glory of the thing but for the father and the son no two would cure a jot whether it might be the right way for creatures to love because of mere existence but what two creatures would ever have originated the loving I cannot for a moment believe it would have been I even had I come into being as now with an inclination to love selfishness would soon have overborn it but if the father loves the son if the very music that makes the harmony of life lies in the theory of love in the heart of the father but in the fact of it in the burning love in the hearts of father and son then glory be to the father and to the son and to the spirit of both the fatherhood of the father meeting and blending with the sonhood of the son and drawing us up into the glory of their joy to share in the thoughts of love that pass between them in their thoughts of delight the life of Jesus is the light of men revealing to them the father but light is not enough light is for the sake of life we too must have life in ourselves we too must like the life himself live we can live in no way that in which Jesus lived in which life was made in him that way is to give up our life this is the one supreme action of life possible to us for the making of life in ourselves Christ did it of himself and so became light to us that we might be able to do it in ourselves after him and through his originating act we must do it ourselves I say the help that he has given and gives the light and the spirit working of the lord the spirit in our hearts is all in order that we may as we must do it ourselves till then we are not alive life is not made in us the whole strife and labor and agony of the son with every man to die as he died all preaching that aims not at this is a building with wood and hay and stubble if I say not with whole heart my father do with me as thou wilt only help me against myself and for thee if I cannot say I am thy child the inheritor of thy spirit thy being a part of thyself glorious in thee but grown in me let me be thy dog thy horse thy anything thou willest let me be thine in any shape the love that is my father may please to have me let me be thine in any way in my own or another's in no way but thine if we cannot fully as this give ourselves to the father then we have not yet laid hold the faith that a man may may must put in God reaches above earth and sky stretches above the farthest outlying star of the createable universe the question is not at present however of removing mountains a thing that will one day be simple to us but of waking and rising from the dead now when a man truly and perfectly says with Jesus and as Jesus said it thy will be done he closes the everlasting life circle the life of the father and the son flows through him he is a part of the divine organism then is the prayer of the lord in him fulfilled I and them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one the Christ in us is the spirit of the perfect child toward the perfect father the Christ in us is our own true nature made blossom in us by the lord whose life is the light of men that it may become the life of men for our true nature is childhood to the father friends those of you who know or suspect that these things are true let us arise and live arise even in the darkest moments of spiritual stupidity when hope itself sees nothing to hope for let us not trouble ourselves about the cause of our earthliness except we know it to be some unrighteousness in us but go at once to the life never never let us accept this consolation the poor suggestion that the cause of our deadness is physical can it be comfort to know that this body of ours because of the death in it is too much for the spirit which ought not merely to triumph over it but to inspire it with subjection and obedience let us comfort ourselves in the thought of the father and the son so long as there dwells harmony so long as the son loves the father with all the love the father can welcome all is well with the little ones God is all right why should we mind standing in the dark for a minute outside his window of course we miss the endness but there is a bliss of its own in waiting what if the rain be falling and the wind blowing what if we stand alone or more painful still have some dear one beside us sharing our outness what even if the window be not shining because of the curtains of good inscrutable drawn across it let us think to ourselves or say to our friend God is dead nothing can be going wrong however it may look so to heart's unfinished and childness let us say to the lord jesus art thou loving the father in there then we out here will do his will patiently waiting till he open the door we shall not mind the wind or the rain much perhaps thou art saying to the father thy little ones need some wind and rain in a word the flowers do not come out I cannot get them made blessed without a little more winter weather then perhaps the father will say comfort them my son jesus with the memory of thy patience when thou wasst missing me comfort them that thou wasst sure of me when everything about thee seemed so unlike me so unlike the place thou hadst left in a word let us be at peace because peace is at the heart of things peace and utter satisfaction between the father and the son in which peace they call us to share in which peace they promise that at length when they have their good way with us we shall share before us then lies a bliss unspeakable a bliss beyond the thought or invention of man a child who will fall in with the perfect imagination of the father his imagination is one with his creative will the thing that God imagines that thing exists when the created falls in with the will of him who loved him into being then all is well since forward the mighty creation goes on in him upon higher and yet higher levels in more and yet more divine heirs thy will, O God, be done not else is other than loss, than decay, than corruption there is no life but that born of the life that the word made in himself by doing thy will which life is the light of men through that light is born the life of men the same life in them that came first into being in Jesus as he laid down his life so must men lay down their lives that as he liveth they may live also that which was made in him was life and the life is the light of men and yet his own to whom he was sent did not believe him End of Chapter 1 Series 3 Chapter 2 of Unspoken Sermons The Knowing of the Son Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape and ye have not his word abiding in you for whom he hath sent him, ye believe not John Chapter 5 Verses 37 and 38 We shall know one day just how near we come in the New Testament to the very words of the Lord that we have them with a difference I cannot doubt for one thing I do not believe he spoke in Greek he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and would speak their natural language not that which at best they knew in secondary fashion that the thoughts of God would come out of the heart of Jesus and anything but the mother tongue of the simple men to whom he spoke I cannot thank He may perhaps have spoken to the Jews of Jerusalem in Greek for they were less simple but at present I do not see ground to believe he did again are we bound to believe the John Boanergies who indeed best and in some things alone understood him was able after such a lapse of years in the Gospel supposing the Lord to have spoken to his disciples in Greek the very words in which he uttered the simplest profundities ever heard in the human world I do not say he was not able I say are we bound to believe he was able when the disciples became by the divine presence in their hearts capable of understanding the Lord they remembered things he had said which they had forgotten in which he said them return to their memories but must we believe the evangelist always precisely recorded his words the little differences between their records is answer enough the Gospel of John is the outcome of years and years of remembering recalling and pondering the words of the master one thing understood recalling another we cannot tell of how much the memory in best condition that is with God in the man may not be capable but I do not believe that John would have always given us the very words of the Lord even if, as I do not think he did he had spoken them in Greek God has not cared that we should anywhere have assurance of his very words and that not merely perhaps because of the tendency in his children to word worship false logic and corruption of the truth but because he would not have them blessed by words seeing that words, being human therefore but partially capable could not absolutely contain or express what the Lord meant and that even he must depend for being understood upon the spirit of his disciple seeing it could not give life the letter should not be thrown with power to kill it should be but the hand made to open the door of the truth to the mind that was of the truth then you believe in an individual inspiration to anyone who chooses to lay claim to it yes to everyone who claims it from God not to everyone who claims from men the recognition of his possessing it he who has a thing does not need to have it recognized if I did not believe in a special inspiration to every man who asked for the Holy Spirit the good thing of God I should have to throw aside the whole tell as an imposture for the Lord has, according to that tell, promised such inspiration to those who ask it if an objector has not the spirit he is not inspired with the truth he knows nothing of the words that are spirit and life his objection is less worth heeding than that of a savage to the assertion of a chemist his assent equally is but the blowing of an idle horn but how is one to tell whether it be truth in the spirit of God that is speaking in a man you are not called upon to tell the question for you is whether you have the spirit of Christ yourself the question is for you to put to yourself the question is for you to answer to yourself am I alive with the life of Christ is his spirit dwelling in me everyone who desires to follow the master has the spirit of the master and will receive more that he may follow closer, nearer in his very footsteps he is not called upon to prove to this or that or any man that he has the light of Jesus he has to let his light shine it does not follow that his work is to teach others or that he is able to speak large truths in true forms when the strength or the joy or the pity of the truth urges him let him speak it out and not be afraid content to be condemned for it comfort it that if he mistake the Lord himself will condemn him and save him as by fire the condemnation of his fellow men will not hurt him nor awit the more that it be spoken in the name of Christ if he speak true the Lord will say I sent him for all truth is of him no man can see a true thing to be true but by the Lord the spirit how am I to know that a thing is true by doing what you know to be true and calling nothing true until you see it to be true by shutting your mouth until the truth opens it are you meant to be silent then woe to you if you speak but if I do not take the words attributed to him by the evangelist for the certain absolute very words of a master how am I to know that they represent his truth by seeing in them what corresponds to the plainest truth he speaks and commends itself to the power that is working in you to make of you a true man by their appeal to your power and what is true by their rousing of your conscience if they do not seem to you true either they are not the words of the master or you are not true enough to understand them be certain of this that if any words that are his do not show their truth to you you have not received his message in them they are not yet to you for they are not in you spirit and life they may be the nearest to the truth that words can come they may have served to bring many into contact with the heart of God but for you they remain as yet sealed if yours be a true heart it will revere them because of the probability that they are the words with the meaning of the master behind them to you they are the rock in the desert before Moses spoke to it if you wait your ignorance will not hurt you if you presume to reason from them you are a blind man disputing of that you never saw to reason from a thing not understood is to walk straight into the mire to dare to reason of truth from words that do not show to us that they are true is the presumption of pharisaical hypocrisy only they who are not true are capable of doing it humble mistake will not hurt us the truth is there and the Lord will see that we come to know it we may think we know it when we have scarce a glimpse of it but the error of a true heart will not be allowed to ruin it certainly that heart would not have mistaken the truth except for the untruth yet remaining in it but he who cast out devils will cast out that devil in the saying before us I see enough to enable me to believe that its words embody the mind of Christ if I could not say this I should say the apostle has here put on record a saying of Christ I have not yet been able to recognize the mind of Christ in it therefore I conclude that I cannot have understood it for to understand what is true is to know it true I have yet seen no words credibly reported as the words of Jesus concerning which I dare to say his mind is not therein therefore the words are not his the mind of man can receive any word only in proportion as it is the word of Christ and in proportion as he is one with Christ to him who does verily receive his word it is a power not of argument but of life the words of the Lord are not for the logic that deals with the words as if they were things but for the spiritual logic that reasons from divine thought to divine thought dealing with spiritual facts no thought human or divine can be conveyed from man to man the symbolism of the creation the heavens and the earth are around us that it may be possible for us to speak of the unseen by the scene for the outermost husk of creation has correspondence with the deepest things of the creator he is not a God that hided himself but a God who made that he might reveal he is consistent and one throughout there are things with which an enemy have meddled but there are more things with which no enemy could meddle and by which we may speak of God they may not have revealed him to us but at least when he is revealed they show themselves so much of his nature that we at once use them as spiritual tokens in the commerce of the spirit to help convey to other minds what we may have seen of the unseen belonging to this sort of mediation are the words of the Lord I would now look into and the Father himself which has sent me has borne witness of me ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape and ye have not his word abiding in you for whom he has sent him ye believe not if Jesus said these words he meant more not less than lies on their surface they cannot be near assertion of what everybody knew neither can their repetition of similar negations be tautological they were not intended to inform the Jews of a fact they would not have dreamed of denying who among them would say he had ever heard God's voice or seen his shape John himself says no man have seen God at any time what is the tone of the passage it is reproach then he reproaches them that they had not seen God when no man have seen God at any time and Paul says no man can see him is there here any paradox there cannot be the sophism no man have seen God ye are to blame that he have not seen God therefore all men blame that they have not seen God if we read no man have seen God but some men ought to have seen him we do not reap such hope for the race as will give the aspect of a revelation to the assurance that not one of those capable of seeing him has ever seen him the one utterance is of John the other of his master if there is any contradiction between them of course the words of John must be thrown out but there can hardly be contradiction since he who says the one thing is recorder of the other as said by his master him to whom he belonged whose disciple he was whom he loved as never man loved man before the word C is used in one sense in the one statement in another sense in the other in the one it means see with the eyes in the other with the soul the one statement is made of all men the other is made to certain of the Jews of Jerusalem concerning themselves it is true that no man have seen God and true that some men ought to have seen him no man have seen him with his bodily eyes these Jews ought to have seen him with their spiritual eyes no man has ever seen God in any outward visible close fitting form of his own he has revealed in no heart saved that of his son but multitudes of men have with their minds or rather their hearts eye seen more or less of God and perhaps every man might have and ought to have seen something of him we cannot follow God into his infinitesimal intensities of spiritual operation any more than into the atomic life potencies that lie deep beyond the eye of the microscope God may be working in the heart of a savage in a way that no wisdom of his wisest, humblest child can see or imagine that it sees many who have never be held the face of God may yet have caught a glimpse of the hem of his garment many who have never seen his shape may yet have seen the vastness of his shadow thousands who have never felt the warmth of its folds have yet been startled by no face only the sight of a sweepy garment vast and white some have dreamed his hand laid upon them who never knew themselves gathered to his bosom the reproach in the words of the Lord is the reproach of men who ought to have had an experience they had not had let us look a little nearer at his words ye have not heard his voice at any time might mean ye have never listened to his voice or ye have never obeyed his voice but the following phrase nor seen his shape keeps us rather to the primary sense of the word here the sound of his voice is unknown to you you have never heard his voice so as to know it for his you have not seen his shape you do not know what he is like plainly he implies you ought to know his voice you ought to know what he is like you have not his word abiding in you the word that is in you from the beginning the word of God in your conscience you have not kept with you it is not dwelling in you by yourselves accepted as the witness of Moses the scripture in which you think you have eternal life does not abide with you is not at home in you it comes to you and goes from you here heed not and forget you do not dwell with it and rude upon it and obey it it finds no acquaintance in you you are not of its kind you are not of those to whom the word of God comes their ears are ready to hear they hunger after the word of the Father on what does the Lord found this his accusation of them is the sign in them of their ignorance of God for whom he have sent him ye believe not how so the Jews might answer have we not asked from thee a sign from heaven and hast thou not point blank refused it the argument of the Lord was indeed of small weight with and of little use to those to whom it most applied for the more it applied the more incapable were they of seeing that it did apply but it would be of great force upon some who stood listening their minds more or less open to the truth and their hearts drawn to the man before them his argument was this if he had ever heard the Father's voice if he had ever known his call if he had ever imagined him or a God anything like him if he had cared for his will so that his word was at home in your hearts you would have known me when you saw me known that I must come from him that I must be his messenger and would have listened to me the least acquaintance with God such as any true heart must have would have made you recognize that I came from the Father of whom you knew that something you would have been capable of knowing me by the light by the word abiding in you by the shape you had beheld however vaguely by the lightness of my face and my voice to those of my Father you would have seen my Father in me you would have known me by the little you knew of him the family feeling would have been awakened you the holy instinct of the same spirit making you know your elder brother that you do not know me now as I stand here speaking to you is that you do not know your own Father even my Father that throughout your lives you have refused to do his will and so have not heard his voice that you have shut your eyes from seeing him and have thought of him only as a partisan of your ambitions if you had loved my Father you would have known his son and I think he might have said if even you had loved your neighbor you would have known me neighbor to the deepest and best in you if the Lord were to appear this day in England as once in Palestine he would not come in the halo of the painters or with that wintery shine of a feminine beauty of sweet weakness in which it is their helpless custom to represent him neither would he probably come or Mason or Gardner he would come in such form and condition as might bear to the present England, Scotland and Ireland a relation like that which the form and condition he then came in bore to the Motley, Judea, Samaria and Galilee if he came thus in form altogether unlooked for who would they be that recognized and received him the idea involves no absurdity he is not far from us at any moment if the old story be indeed more than the best and strongest of the fables that possess the world he might at any moment appear who I ask would be the first to receive him now as then it would of course be the child like in heart the truest, the least selfish they would not be the highest in the estimation of any church for the child like are not yet the many it might not even be those that knew most about the former visit of the master that had pondered every word of the Greek testament the first to cry it is the Lord would be neither good churchman nor good dissenter it would be no one with so little of the mind of Christ as to imagine him caring stupid outside matters it would not be the man that holds by the mooring ring of the letter fast in the quay of what he calls theology and from his rotting deck abuses the presumption of those that go down to the sea and ships lets the wind of the spirit blow where it listeth but never blows him out among its wonders in the deep it would not be he who obeying a command does not care to see reason in the command not he who from the barrenness of soul cannot receive the meaning and will of the master and so fails to fulfill the letter of his word making it of none effect it would certainly if any be those who are likeest the master those namely who did the will of their father and his father that built their house on the rock by hearing and doing his sayings but are there any enough like him to know him at once by the sound of his voice by the look of his face there are multitudes who would at once be taken by a false Christ fashioned after their fancy and would at once reject the lord as a poor imposter one thing is certain they who first recognized him would be those that most loved righteousness and hate it but I would not forget that there are many in whom foolish forms cover a live heart warm toward everything human and divine for the worst fitting and ugliest robe may hide the loveliest form every covering is not a clothing the grass clothes the fields the glory surpassing Solomon's clothes the grass but the traditions of the worthiest elders will not clothe any soul how much less the traditions of the unworthy its true clothing must grow out of the live soul itself some naked souls need but the sight of truth to rush to it as Dante says like a wild beast to his den others heavily clad in the garments the scribes have left behind them and fearful of rending that which is fit only to be trodden underfoot right cautiously approach the truth go round and round it like a shy horse that fears a hidden enemy but let each be true after the fashion possible to him and he shall have the master's praise if the lord were to appear the many who take the common presentation of thing or person for the thing or person could never recognize the new vision as another form of the old the master has been so misrepresented by such as have claimed to present him and especially in the one eternal fact of facts the relation between him and his father that it is impossible they should see any lightness for my part I would believe in no god rather than in such a god as is generally offered for believing in how far those may be to blame who righteously discussed it cast the idea from them nor make inquiry whether something in its may not be true though most must be false neither granted any claim to investigation on the chance that some they call themselves his prophets may have taken spiritual bribes to mingle beauty with infirmities and pure perfection with impure defeature how far those may be to blame it is not my work to inquire some would grasp with gladness the hope that such chance might be proved a fact others would not care to discern upon the palimpsest covered but not obliterated a credible tell of a perfect man revealing a perfect god they are not true enough to desire that to be fact which would immediately demand the modeling of their lives upon a perfect idea and the founding of their every hope upon the same but we all beholding the glory of the lord are changed into the same image	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq7KEQfKqUw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCnMGQ8QHMAnVIsI3xJrihhg	Commit Virtual 2021: The Imperative to Stop being Lazy and Do Better	Speaker: Brendan O'Leary There are a lot of challenging, unsolved problems in software. Building accessible, inclusive, smart software is a solved one...do better. My last name is valid. Despite what countless apps and websites have tried to tell me, it is reasonable to have an apostrophe in a name. I get it; SQL is hard. But it doesn't ""solve"" the problem to have validation, saying, ""Please enter a valid last name."" Talk about invalidating someone's experience in life. And that's not even that big of a deal. But this kind of carelessness is all too common in tech. Many other people's identities are marginalized even more severely when developers are careless. In this talk, we'll examine examples of each of these types of inclusion. We'll show how these issues have already been solved; it just requires the determination and compassion to choose to make our products more accessible and more inclusive. GitLab Community Hub: https://bit.ly/3AAiIUN Get in touch with Sales: http://bit.ly/2IygR7z	[ "Product", "git", "server", "version control system", "CI", "Continuous integration", "pipelines", "git repository", "Conversational Development", "collaborate", "integrate", "integration", "software development", "tutorial", "open source", "on-premises git solutions", "developers", "programmers", "code", "VCS" ]	2021-08-05T10:00:35	2024-02-05T08:57:54	1,402	zqTjF2F7iuc	Diversity, inclusion, and belonging is one of GitLab's credit values. Our mission is to create a world where everyone can contribute, and in order to do that, we need to foster an environment and a community where everyone can thrive. In this next talk, you will hear from Brendan O'Leary, a GitLab team member. He will share examples that will be familiar for some and new to others, but the impacts of these stories will be something we can all relate to. He'll also share ways you can get started building accessibility into your products. If you're ready to get started making a more inclusive world and joining us in our mission, then this talk is for you. Enjoy. Thank you for being here today. If you're here because you thought the title was intriguing, great. If you're one of those who were a little apprehensive about the title but wanted to give it a chance, thank you too. Despite the title, I won't be berating everyone today for being lazy. Lazy isn't even the best word for it. There's probably a perfect German word for what I mean, but I don't speak German. Side note, if you do speak German and there is a word for this, please let me know. What I mean is there are a lot of hard problems in software, in scaling apps, in working together with other developers, in shipping code to production. I get it. I've been on lots of sides of that equation. At the same time though, there are many, many, many solved problems. Unless you have very advanced use cases, most of us are not writing machine code, creating our own processors or doing low-level memory management. Those are solved problems that we take for granted. Another solved problem is how to build accessible and inclusive software. But even though there are solutions, those are much less likely to be adopted than, say, the latest JavaScript framework. And the data shows it's not getting better. In 2015, there were 57 digital accessibility lawsuits in the US. In 2018, there were close to 3,000. And that's a little bit about what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about a few stories around accessibility and inclusion and how many are representative of solved problems. And in the end, I hope I can encourage you to reevaluate and understand your own designs and software and build a better world where everyone can contribute. I'll introduce myself a little later, but I want to start with a personal story about my name, specifically my last name. My last name is Uliri. It stands for Son of Liri from back in the time of feudal lords in Ireland. And if there's still some lordship that I'm due back in Ireland, I'm completely unaware of it. And my family's been in the United States for quite a long time. It's fun to spell to people over the phone. Capital O, apostrophe, capital L, then lowercase E-A-R-Y. And that's just with humans. Anyone who's been programming for a while, has ever done anything with a SQL-like database, or has ever read XKCD 327 about poor little Bobby Tables, knows that it's a problem for computers too. That apostrophe, or single quotation mark, or single curly quotation mark, it goes by many names and many different Unicode characters, actually. It can cause a real problem for folks using databases. Or even my favorite version, when you want to make rendering safe for HTML and we get, yeah, that's simultaneously my favorite and least favorite version of my last name. And I get it, I really do. SQL injections are scary. Someone putting JavaScript into an input and getting it to run on someone else's computer, also very scary. But there are ways to handle this much better than many websites do today. The typical response is to do some client-side evaluation and just reject things we don't like. But that's also the lazy way. There are a lot of name variations out there, and programmers believe a lot of falsehoods about people's names. Instead of working to understand the differences and try their best to account for them, they restrict name fields to fit in the box that they've decided is acceptable. But there's a serious problem with that. It can literally invalidate a person's personhood, especially depending on the specific warning given, which often is that my last name is actually invalid. Well, that's about as invalidating as you can get, I guess. And this doesn't just happen with no name or small websites. First of all, the state I live in, Maryland, I was born there. My birth certificate shows an apostrophe in O'Leary. But my license to drive a car has no apostrophe. But my passport from the U.S. government has an apostrophe. My Social Security card, well, I don't actually know, I didn't look it up for this. And I've probably given you already way too much detail for anyone who wants to try and steal my identity. What even is my legal name? I'm not sure if I know the answer to that. Though if you do steal my identity, good luck. Many major organizations with budgets in the millions and billions of dollars can't figure out how to escape an apostrophe when inserting it into their database. Getting onto the Wi-Fi at a hotel with your last name and room number is a new adventure every time. Sometimes people haven't even thought of it and my name ends up being O' in their system. Who knows what happens to the leery? If you ever end up with leery in your database for some reason, you're welcome for this troubleshooting tip you never thought of. But it's not just different forms of names with things like apostrophes. Different orders of surname and given names and lots of other name diversity exists. It can impact people who character-wise have a normal name but platforms decide that their name is invalid for some other reason. There's a lot of people with two-character surnames out there. Don't just put a limit on that. And when implementing your community guidelines, sometimes purely automated is not the way to go and can lead to some pretty bad experiences for folks who probably don't love attention being called out to the alternative meaning of their names. My father has given up this fight. He doesn't even try to add the apostrophe anymore to any online form. He's just accepted the world isn't made for him. Being somehow even more stubborn than him, I still fight and I call it out when I see it. Neither of those things should have to happen. With inclusion at the design phase, when we're building those user stories, we can prevent these type of things. And honestly, I've spent a lot of time on it in this talk because it impacts me personally, but it's really not that big of a deal. I understand it, I can get around it, I can even give up like my dad and just go about my life. But it doesn't start and end with names. Things can get much worse. For example, gender or sex on a form on your website. The lazy way is to put man woman other or male female other. First of all, you need to learn the difference between sex and gender and collect the one you're really looking for. And here's a hint, if you're not building medical software, it's probably gender. Second of all, one of my best friend's genders identifies their gender as genderqueer. It can be tough to have that as a gender identity. A lot of the world doesn't get it. In fact, as a cis man, I probably don't completely understand it, but I do know that my friend isn't other and I know my friend doesn't want to be othered by people. So why would a website lazily make them say, I am other? It's honestly completely unacceptable. And the problem of identity is extremely pervasive. It impacts many, many people across the globe. A professor was talking with a colleague about how he couldn't get the virtual background and their Zoom calls to work. And he guesses as to what's happening here. I bet you could guess it. The algorithm being used for face detection works great for people like me, bald white dudes. But it can also literally erase black faces deciding that either the wall or the globe in the background must have been the face. When I originally saw this, I didn't see the thread online on a computer. I saw it on Twitter's mobile app. And in reporting this problem with face detection for people of color, Colin actually found another problem he hadn't thought of. Twitter, where he was sharing the problem with Zoom, had a similar problem. No matter how he uploaded the side-by-side comparison, Twitter would show his face and not his colleagues. Twitter was using smart cropping algorithms to try and find what is important in the picture. And it was choosing the white face over the black one as more important every time. Now, it's important to add here that Twitter saw this post, commented on it, and fixed it. And they fixed it the easy way. They disabled cropping and all that automatic fitting stuff on mobile and elsewhere. But the fact that they fixed it this way is actually very telling. Getting this right, an algorithm that isn't biased based on the inputs was so hard that not even Twitter, with its vast team of engineers and really smart people, I know some really smart people that work at Twitter, not even Twitter decided it was possible to do cropping right with an algorithm, so they just don't crop anymore. Even with this, I can hear some people saying, it's not that big a deal. Some edge cases exist, people with names that don't fit into two nice little boxes of ASCII characters, etc. What's the big deal, Brendan? Is anyone actually being hurt? Well, let me tell you a story. On a Thursday afternoon, in January of 2020, Robert Julien Borcek-Williams was in his office, and he got a phone call that he assumed was a prank. It was the Detroit Police Department. They told him they had to come to the station right away so that he could be arrested. I would have definitely assumed it was a joke, too. Just an hour later, as he was arriving home to his house in suburban Detroit, a police officer pulled up, handcuffed him on his front lawn in front of his family. They didn't get into any details. They had a warrant that had his picture and the word's grand-law sending on it. When his wife asked for more information or where they were taking him, the officer's response was, Google it. Williams was fingerprinted, had his DNA and mugshot taken, and put in jail overnight. The next day, detectives came to meet with him and asked him what he knew about a robbery of a jewelry store a few months before and asked where he was at that time. He remembered checking out the store when it first opened four years prior to the robbery. Williams then slid a piece of paper across the table. It was a picture of a heavy-set man in a store looking at a watch display. That person then stole $3,800 worth of jewelry and watches. Is that you, asked one of the detectives? Mr. Williams held the picture up to his own face. No, look, this is not me. The picture was clearly not him. So what happened? Well, the Detroit Police Department had spent $5.5 million on a facial recognition system. They used a still image from the store's security footage provided by the store's lost prevention personnel to find a suspect among all Michigan State driver's license photos. A year prior to this robbery, a federal study of the very software they were using showed extreme bias. Misidentifying African-American and Asian faces 10 to 100 times more often than Caucasian ones. Now, the output of that system isn't meant to be evidence. In fact, it says this document is not a positive identification in bold capital letters at the top. It says it's only an investigative lead and not probable cause for an arrest. What the officers did is they took Mr. Williams' image, added it to a photo lineup, and showed it to the same lost prevention personnel who had provided the video. That person pointed to Williams, and on that basis alone, he was arrested and jailed. Two weeks after his arrest, Williams took a vacation day, appeared in Wayne County Court for the arraignment. The state's prosecutor moved to dismiss without prejudice, meaning he could never be charged with that crime again. Since then, he figured out what he was doing the night of the shoplifting. He was driving from home from work and had posted a video to his Instagram. He had a rock solid alibi, but the Detroit police didn't bother to check that. My name is, as I said, partially Brennan O'Leary. I'm a developer of Angels at GitLab, and I want to talk to you about how we can work together to solve these kinds of problems. We know a lot as software engineers, and we know what works and what doesn't. If we're able to apply that same energy towards inclusion and accessibility in our designs and in our software, I'm confident we can make the world a more inclusive, more accessible place. So, first, what's the current state? Where are we? Well, building inclusive, accessible software and systems won't just benefit those who it's directly aimed at helping. It benefits everyone. Hurts nobody. It's complicated by the fact that accessibility or inclusion is often an afterthought. We design software to scratch our own itches, after all, and our own itches are inherently biased to the life experiences we've had. So, how can we build and build it into our designs? We have to bring intention, focus, empathy, and action to bear on the problem and leverage existing resources. Like I said at the beginning, these are problems that have solutions. You just need to seek them out intentionally. And it's not a small portion of people that are impacted by this. I live in the USA in North America, so I have that perspective on the world. But intellectually and with data, the world is much wider, much more diverse place. In fact, unless you live in this small circle over South Asia, you don't live with the majority of people. And regardless of where you live in or out of the circle, your experiences are going to be different from someone who lives on the other side of the globe, or even maybe just the other side of the road. The most recent estimates from the WHO are that a million people have some disability of some sort which might mean they use or operate your software in a very different way or with different tools than you do. And almost one in five people are neurodivergent, which includes things like autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and OCD. If you're neuro-typical, you might not understand the kind of impact that design, color, organization, and other things might have on someone who is neurodivergent interacting with your application. And no matter where you live or your personal circumstances, your environment and experiences in life are going to naturally shape your view on the world. And that's okay. But we have to understand how others might see the world and include them in the design of software to ensure we are building with and for everyone. And I want to talk about that difference in building with versus building for everyone. In the United States, we have laws around making spaces accessible to people who may need to use something like a wheelchair to get around. These laws ensure that we are building literally for everyone. If there are stairs to the front door of a building, you have to also build a ramp somewhere so that folks in wheelchairs can access that building. But how is that different than building with everyone? Well, if I required a wheelchair to move around, I know I'd rather go in the front door rather than some other entrance. So if we're building with those who are differently abled, we might decide, you know what? Let's make the door a single even surface so that everyone can go in through the front door. Letting everyone use the front door is how I like to think about building with everyone rather than just for everyone. Let's say you're on board. Now what? How do we build accessibility and inclusiveness into our design and build processes so that we can ensure we're fully realizing the benefits of building with everyone? Step 1 is to go back to first principles. Any software design you will tell you one of the first principles of design is empathy. The ability to understand and share in the feelings of others is critical to any design. So we have to be sure that empathy is for everyone. Don't just be empathetic in the sense of as a product manager I want to be able to blah blah blah. Build real empathy that includes the feelings and desires of a diverse group of people and brings their perspectives directly into your design process. That doesn't mean you have to build one thing that works for all people. People are different and that's okay. That makes us stronger. Don't try and design a one size fits all solution. Design a solution that brings all of the diverse ways people are going to participate in your experience your software or your app to bear. That will instill in your users a sense of belonging that isn't just good for humanity it's good for your business too. And to build inclusion in you have to make it required just like any other design requirement not a nice to have that you put in the format backlog. You also have to learn both yourself and if you're a leader making room and time for your team to learn. There's a lot of amazing resources out there I linked to some of them on buildinclusive.com I also can't recommend enough building in the open. At GitLab we're not only an open source project but we're an open company. Building in the open can feel really scary or unnatural at first but trust me the more you allow feedback and input into your system the better the outcome. I could do a whole presentation just on that so for now you will just have to trust me. And lastly implementation matters. One of my favorite lines from the musical Into the Woods comes when Red Riding Hood after she realizes what the wolf is really up to he wants to eat her and her grandmother she sings about how he was able to trick her because he seemed so nice she sums it up simply nice is different than good having the intention to be inclusive is nice but actually following through implementation is good. Now I understand that can be intimidating it's a lot to take on so what can you do today or tomorrow when you go back to work after this conference? Well I want to share some tips here there's a lot of small steps you can take to start the journey map out your application look at each small detail in a sequence of interactions what barriers exist for different groups of people then flip it see how you can make those interactions more inclusive find a free online course there's Google web design advanced courses on edx and Udacity if you're building for the web you can use extensions to gauge accessibility and remember to design with excluded and diverse communities not for them you can foster belonging through representation and you can establish accountability on day one make the decision to require it oh and if you're a GitLab user for your otherwise and of course I hope you are and you might be because you're here you can add automated web accessibility testing to your GitLab CI CD pipeline with just six lines of YAML once you add these lines you'll automatically get accessibility testing on every merge request if you use review apps to preview your changes you can even see over time if your app is getting more or less accessible this is a small step you can take today to start the process of including it into your development processes if you visit brendan.fyi slash a11y you'll get the a11y docs you'll get the full documentation for using this you can even some small step today can really help iteration over time and small changes made today will add up we can't end racism by stopping one act of violence against a black person, an Asian person or another person of color and we can't stop all bias or exclusionary design from entering our designs just by focusing on the color of our buttons but if you have a question choose to be in the group of people who try and make people feel included and everyone in your development process takes responsibility for creating inclusive technology we can make the world more inclusive and accessible thank you so much I hope at least you got I got some of you thinking about ways to make your software more inclusive if you have any questions I'll be around afterwards and I'll talk about your thoughts and I'd love to hear your feedback after the conference the best way to get in touch with me typically is Twitter I'm at Uliri crew to view these slides the resources that I mentioned earlier and a lot of other resources that I'm trying to gather on inclusive design and software please visit buildinclusive.com I'd also love your feedback on that I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great resources that I could add there thank you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqTjF2F7iuc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Just a sec. Let me unplug my headphones. Welcome to Sunday morning coffee close to afternoon-ish on above-life channel. Hey Yeah, it's Memorial Day weekend, and I'm here live. I'm just gonna double-check the sound quality here. I just plugged in my microphone, so I want to make sure it sounds good. Welcome to above-life channel. Appreciate you being here. Oh, of course I'm gonna get my YouTube going here. Good morning-ish. Where I'm at, it's still the morning. I'm in the central time zone. I'm in the central time zone. Oh good. I can hear me. Good morning. Hi. Nice to see you. Oh, I forgot my glasses. Dang it. I'm gonna say hi to Rubble. Let's see. Hello in the chat. Hey, Anna. Nice to see you. Hello, life. Nice to see you. Okay, let's make sure that we monitor and manage the chat in a way. This chat will go on the live replay as well. So if you are watching and you don't want to be hello down the chat, let me know. I'm today, I'm gonna eat while we're talking lemon bar anyone. Would you like a lemon bar? Mmm. Very good. Mmm-hmm. I worked already this morning. I walked to the dog. I had a session with someone on the east coast and I've had coffee. I've got my coffee now also. Mmm. Cheers. Whether you're having water or tea or whether you're watching this live or not. Hello. I'm gonna have a lemon bar that is gluten-free. Got it at the local bakery yesterday when I was in town running errands and stuff and went for a walk and got some more lemon lemon bar. Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm. Mmm. A little zest to my morning. Mmm-hmm-hmm. Like I'm pre-gaming lunch, I guess. So today, I am coming at you on Sunday of Memorial Weekend. Memorial Weekend is a holiday here in the United States. And we have like a long weekend and Mondays off and stuff and a lot of for a lot of people. Not everybody. Not everybody. Some people have to work. Mmm-hmm. Some people got to work. Today, I'm going to my brother's house for a barbecue. Hang out with the cousins. My siblings, because my sister, who might be watching, I don't know, is back in town. She now lives here once again. Mmm-hmm. Are we going to have a fun summer? Yes, yes, we are. Yes, we are. So I hope so anyway. That's the intent, right? Have a good summer. And kicking it off with a barbecue with my family is great. And my mom's in town still too, so that's nice, you know. We're going to go through this huge box that I got from the funeral my uncle gave to me for my grandma's funeral last week and huge box of pictures. Huge, like gargantuan. How fun is that going to be? The first thing I saw was a picture of my brother at my cousin's wedding. He had to been like seven or eight with my, with our cousin. And then the second one I saw was cheerleading fritters from like the 80s, the late 80s, my sister and I. Oh my God. So fun. All right, so today we're going to use this, our time together. I'm going to reflect a little back. Reminisce a bit. This podcast is called The Topic is Last Year. Because last year at this time, think about it. Stop for a minute. I'm shaking my fork at you. Think about it right now. Where were you this time last year? It was end of May 2022. Where were you? Do you remember what you did that weekend? Did you work? Did you hang out with family? Did you have kids coming home from college? Were you moving? What were your relationships like? Who was in your life? May of 2022. Who were you hanging out with? Who was close to you? Yeah, think about that for a moment. Maybe you were on a trip. Maybe you're traveling camping something. I know exactly where I was and I'm going to talk about it. And maybe it'll inspire you. Look at the sunshine today. Is that amazing? So I'm going to lick this. I'm going to lick it. I'm actually, if I am, it's lemon, a lemon bar. Very good. I have to. This is not an ASMR channel. Is that what they call them? Hmm. But this lemon is so good. Oh my gosh. Okay. You know, I just, I had to do that for all of us. Right? Okay. So I'm going to tell you exactly where I was at. Let me just adjust. I got a new chair. Did you notice? You don't miss my new chair? See if I can adjust it. Oh, I am as high as, I'm as low as I can go. I'm as low as I can go. Not really, but you know, I was on a walk. I went on a walk down the street here. Had my backpack, with my water, my hat, my sunglasses, and went down to the lake that I often would go to and walk and connect with nature. And it was a busy weekend, but it wasn't, it wasn't too busy. It wasn't like I expected. And what I did was, I had had a meditation that morning or the day before, maybe even it was, I can't remember the exact timing of things, but I had connected with my dad, who had told me specifically to prepare. This was in May of 2022, the end of May. And I'm like, what? And I thought, oh, okay, this makes sense because I knew that two months from then, I would be feeling into the energy of 20 years since his departure, since he died, 20 years ago at that time. And so when I heard the advice from him that said, prepare, prepare, I took my essential oils and I went down to the dock by the river. And I, because the river, the lake's on one side, there's a dam and then there's a river on the other side. So I went to the river and sat on this new cedar dock and it smells so good that cedar smell that just, oh, smelled so good. And I took out my essential oils, I put my feet in the water and let the water rush over my feet. I sat there for a while just releasing whatever I needed to release so that I could be pure and pure apart and open, trying so hard not to hang on like the rushing waters of the river to not hang on too much to things because my life had already been in a massive change cycle since the beginning of that year at the very least, more since the summer of 2021. And it was really coming into just the throws of things. And my relationships were changing drastically and and on levels that I couldn't comprehend or even fathom and things I was sensing or picking up on and yet also very much in my own just spinning, falling, free-falling state, trying so hard to just be present and just keep going, getting up each day and one foot in front of the other. And looking at the preparation of the milestone moment, I saw it as a catalyst moment, I guess you could say with my dad to really reflect back on life and how much life I've lived since that time and part of it was a gratitude. And I actually coined a phrase, I called it a healing journey. In fact, I was there and I did, I think it was on Instagram because I wasn't on TikTok at that point. I was on Instagram and on my Bridget inspired on Instagram and probably on Facebook, Bridget inspired as well. I shared that I'm on a personal healing journey and it's starting now. And it just was a spontaneous kind of thing that unfolded. And it was inspired by that message from my dad to prepare. And then to look at the summer, which I love summer so much. It's the warm weather, the sunshine, the light, the nature, the greenery, the trees, the birds, all of it and really utilize it for my personal benefit to really free myself from the confines or restrictions that I've created for myself all that time for those 20 years since. So if you're not familiar with my story, look on above life channel and look at the playlist for my psychic stories or my psychic things that make me psychic, etc. I can't think of what the exact name of the playlist is, but it's about my personal stuff about being psychic and what it means. And two years after my dad died is when I literally had a major monumental experience where I literally opened the floodgates and I hadn't even been to a psychic before. And all of a sudden I was doing mediumship. It just kind of happened this one weekend and happened after I buried my dad's ashes. Yeah, we buried the ashes two years after it was it's a whole thing. And my mom was moving out of our childhood home and she needed somebody had to take care of the ashes and I'm the oldest of the three kids. So it falls to me. I'm the one that handles that. And so it was just this whole experience. And I document it really well in my story on the video. And at that time I was married to my first husband and I had had my third child then and my life was just in such a different place. I was working in human resources. I was a human resource development coordinator at a large government organization. And I was just in such a different place. And I hadn't even grieved my dad's death really. And then all of a sudden I was talking to dead people and going on this journey of learning about myself and knowing myself in ways that I didn't know I hadn't met that part of myself. I thought it was normal. I had tons of paranormal and psychic experiences growing up. But I thought that was just normal. Not weird normal. I thought I really really thought people just that just happens to people. I didn't think it was that all that special. I just thought it was normal. And went through a time where I had to learn about myself and discover myself and really believe more in myself and trust myself very deeply because people around me didn't necessarily understand or trust my my psychic abilities my intuition the things that were happening to me. And it was just such a journey. And that moment after my dad's death and two years later it was just such a defining time in my life. And I had no idea. It took two years to even start the process. Okay. So then coming full circle at this moment where I was last year in May being told by him to prepare I was like okay you're going on a journey. I'm like okay it's good thing I had my essential oils my emerald temple oils by the way my priestessing oils let me show you they're on my altar space we've got courage right here in fact let's do this together while we're talking how about we do this courage oil and put that on my feet smells a bit like a campfire so it's appropriate for this weekend because usually memorial weekend is about campfires bonfires cooking out grilling going to do that today put on my feet. And I was very aware in that moment that I was gifted I had been gifted so many tools on this journey this journey of life this 20 year journey since that defining moment and we have in our lives you guys many defining moments many life altering crossroads that we are always we are brought to this precipice where we're like afraid to make the wrong choice but yet you can't go forward anymore straight ahead and just numbingly move you have to choose even if you don't feel like you have the faculties to choose you have to choose which way to move next to go and we do the best we can please know you're not being led astray ever by your intuition by your gut sense by your knowing by your visitations from your loved ones from your angels from your spirit guides you are never led astray so if you feel like you can't trust that knowing that inner wisdom it's because we've been taught to rely more on our intellect and rational thinking which is why we overthink which is why we get anxiety which is why we are victims to that free fall of depression the truth is you can trust yourself and if it feels like it's the wrong choice you made you made the wrong choice but at the moment at the time you were fully present with all the information you had and you made the best choice you could and you are accountable for those choices in those moments and if you can forgive yourself when you don't trust yourself and your intuition and you do something anyway that you know is not right for you can you forgive yourself in those moments that's what healing is it is forgiveness when we are falling over ourselves and tripping over ourselves and not trusting our intuition that's when we need forgiveness for ourselves that's what we need is that that compassion because we make mistakes we make bad choices but the goal isn't to make the good choice or the right choice it's to make the choice that's aligned the alignment the one that honors you not a craving in a moment not a self-medicated choice a numbing choice i just got off from a session with someone and she was talking about how um she's numbed her pain so much and how she's self-medicated i said i can relate to that we can all relate to that if you can relate to that put a heart in the chat and let that heart symbolize the energetic of forgiveness of humanness of kindness to yourself of compassion to yourself of empathy inward and if you're going to fuck things up and you're going to do it over and over and over again is anybody in here an addiction or recovery congratulations on your sobriety one day at a time just today one step at a time and if you have slid and you're off path start anew forgive yourself and start today fresh if you've made choices in your relationships where you have not been in your on on integrity and you know that there's a higher purpose a greater understanding and integration of the lessons from making those choices that you know we're not the best for you you know the truth is the pain you feel right now the suffering you feel like right now the guilt you feel right now from those choices that you know we're not the best for you is because you are hurting you you hurt you in that process and we have to come to terms with that thing of how hard it is to just let go when we know it's not good for us it's not no longer an alignment when it's no longer serving and move on and integrity move ahead step ahead take the turn follow around the bend you're not going to know the answers it's not going to be clearly laid out but if you don't awaken to the recognition of these defining moments and these invitations like such I had last summer with the healing journey I went on to prepare the invitation to prepare instead of getting scared and ignoring and avoiding it I leaned in and I had some people in my life that were not happy what's this healing journey what are you doing what's wrong what's going on why don't you tell me it's like it's not about you it's not about other people it's about you the things you do do affect other people your kids your family your co-workers your job your community yes and we see that every day it plays out in the news media doesn't it or on tiktok instagram facebook etc what we do affects other people and impacts so take accountability but don't punish yourself free yourself as quickly as possible from the entanglement of guilt and shame that manipulates you and then you're susceptible to and vulnerable to other relationships that are just going to repeat the past codependent commingled co overthinking vibe that are used to and it's nobody's fault but it is your wisdom and your choice to trust in yourself and to choose yourself over anybody else any situation or circumstance over anybody else people will judge you the world will judge you you don't need to judge you stop with the self sabotage stop with the self judgment I look back in last year the summer was a hard hard time for me I you know some of you may know I lost my beloved diamond my little miniature dachshund but I also had so many ups and downs so many milestone moments crossing the threshold of the summer solstice was really hard for me in 2022 it was heart wrenching stepping into july into the fourth of july weekend and then deeper into the month to the 15th the 17th the 22nd the 23rd the 24th it was on the 13th that diamond crossed over and I was so busy online so busy doing things online that I almost missed her transition but I didn't I was present so there are these major moments that you will always remember milestone moments that you wish you could have done things differently don't stay too long in that don't get into the self pity oh poor me I'm such a victim I I just make bad choices oh it's just the way it is I just make bad choices I really know how to pick them that's an excuse the victim excuse the I am not what happened to me I am not a reflection of the relationship I'm in right now I am not a reflection of the marriage I was in previously my first one I'm not a reflection of that divorce am I do I look like that to you right now last summer was really hard for me and I was in disney world on the 20th anniversary of my dad's death I had a massive clearing the day before on the 31st of july one that I will never forget it really rocked me to my core in ways I never I wouldn't let myself believe were possible you know and then I had to face my reality and face my own judgment and question how I live my life how am I living my life how am I in what ways am I not being true to myself and what ways am I not choosing myself and then I came home from that trip to Florida with COVID yeah and that month was a massive shift here for me that was when I moved downstairs my house yeah lived there ever since and when dad said to prepare I didn't quite know what he meant I thought he meant prepare for the trip start clearing all you can it was gut wrenchingly emotional it was a turbulent time for me friendships came and went left actually I had some major relationships leave people leave my life just very dramatically shockingly and sometimes you just won't things will just won't make sense and you'll never have a piece about that there won't be that sense of closure or but you can relieve yourself from judgment about not knowing I should have known that about that person I should have known I should have known you couldn't relieve yourself from judgment from that and just let it be can't go back to the past and change it but you can go with the integration of the integrity of the truth of who you are and what you've learned about yourself what have you learned what have you learned in this healing journey what have you learned on this part of your life journey that's the point so on this Memorial Day weekend I'm having some memories I am I have a ton of gratitude for my current partner the person that is my husband right now and he might be watching right now but he has been so such a trusted companion for me and I just want to I mean say thank you because as we've been navigating the incredible turbulent times that we've been in and the choices I've made that have hurt him deeply and yet he still is in support and a loving companion for me as I move ahead in my own life now in my own next section of life as an independent sovereign person so thank you for your support I appreciate it you will always always be my bestest friend for sure so and family so now we got to get going because we are going to barbecue and gonna be with family today and then next week and stepping into June there's a lot going on for me in June so lots to be shared here on above life channel on youtube and on my new channel

But according to Fox News' Laura Ingram, this is actually a bad thing, bad for the left and liberals and coastal elites more generally speaking, because we actually love lockdowns. According to her, we like lockdowns because they're not necessarily used in order to mitigate the spread of this highly contagious, deadly disease. They're used by us to control the masses, control real Americans. That's literally what she's going to argue in this clip that we're about to watch. But even though the lockdowns due to coronavirus are coming to an end, she tells her boomer audience that there's a new type of lockdown that they should be afraid of climate lockdowns. This is literally something that she says liberals and leftists are planning. Climate change activists who ignored or dismissed the human suffering caused by these draconian COVID rules were positively giddy. That kids were harmed from the cancellation of in-person learning and athletics was simply not relevant, given the left's larger long-term goal of reducing America's carbon footprint. So they saw COVID as an opportunity to advance the interests of a global climate bureaucracy. Their pet media marveled about the environmental benefits of lockdowns. Again, ignoring human suffering. If there is a silver lining to this crisis, it's visible in the skies above China. All of this inaction, while causing so many human problems, has actually proven to be quite good for Mother Earth. Falling pollution levels brought about by lockdowns may have been shining an impact on sunshine. Wild animals are now roaming city streets. How do we make sure these pollution models don't rebound? So the longer you were behind closed doors, not commuting to work, not going to church, not traveling to see family, the happier those people were. But having a free country means that individuals are making their own risk assessments, according to their own risk profiles. The Greeniacs hate that. They much prefer to order you around, or if that's not possible, to frighten you into abandoning your own common sense. So mindless COVID fear-mongering kept suburban women double-massed on running trails and sent urbanites to Amazon Prime for all their grocery orders. My favorite is when they were frantically wiping down their bananas and their egg cartons worried about COVID. You know, the virus can live on surfaces, for example, steel and plastic for up to three days. I'm just going to clean all the virus off here. Don't need to do too much. It's a pretty sensitive virus. For a cardboard, it's typically going to be closer to 24 hours. Of course, none of that was true, right? But he did do a good job of cleaning. But after some fits and starts, we won the COVID debate. Their so-called public health experts were wrong on everything from lockdowns to masks to social distancing. Those measures inflicted enormous economic, educational and psychological harm to adults and children alike. And Biden's attempt to take credit for this notwithstanding, it was Trump who greenlit Operation Warp Speed. Yet now we see the usual suspects lining up to exploit another hyped crisis. Of course, I'm talking about climate change. And the end goal is the same. They want more of your money and your freedom. And if they have to take extreme measures to accomplish this, oh, they will. I mean, what do you even say to that? What do you even say to that? She is pulling this out of thin air. She's fabricating it. She doesn't cite a single example of anyone in a position of power floating climate lockdowns. Her evidence that the left and liberals who are in power want to institute climate lockdowns is that some pundits pointed out the fact that during these lockdowns, the silver lining was that our carbon footprint collectively was reduced. So therefore, because they pointed that out because they made that observation, it is now a fact that climate lockdowns are coming and you should be very afraid. I mean, think of the tacit assumption that liberals and leftists aren't like other human beings. We actually loved the lockdowns. I loved not getting to see my family for an entire year. I loved it because I just liked that conservatives were getting controlled, even though they violated the lockdowns. I mean, who thinks like this to just completely dehumanize people who you disagree with because they're concerned about the pandemic to just assume that there's no legitimate reason to do a lockdown to wear masks to social distance in order to mitigate the spread of the virus. I mean, you're just a stupid person if you genuinely believe this about other people, if you genuinely believe that everyone celebrated the lockdowns and they loved it. That's fucking stupid, Laura Ingram. And you know this, she knows what she's saying, but her audience, who's older, who's less informed, they don't necessarily know. Now, unfortunately for Laura Ingram, she's not as effective as a propagandist is someone like Tucker Carlson. So I think that they're going to be less likely to be afraid of climate lockdowns, but so long as Fox News wants this narrative to get pushed, all they need is for someone like Tucker Carlson with more credibility, who's more believable to say it. And now all of a sudden, everyone in the country will be talking about climate lockdowns, because this is what Fox News does. Does anyone remember a Muslim no go zones? That was a big thing back in what was it? 2014, 2015, were they reclaiming that there were areas in Europe and London where you weren't allowed to go unless you were Muslim. They were trying to fear monger about Sharia law. It came to Europe and it's coming to the United States very soon. I mean, they always want you to be afraid. They always want you to live in fear. And then simultaneously, they claim that that's what the left and liberals want because they're taking this virus seriously. It's preposterous and nobody who's serious about climate change has proposed permanent lockdowns. That's unsustainable and that's not going to solve the climate crisis. But if Laura Ingram actually wondered what we want to do to stop climate change, all she had to do was ask one of us, except she knows though, right? Because she's against the Green New Deal as well. That's what we're proposing. We're proposing investments in renewable, clean technology, hydro, wind, solar. And on top of that, we want governments to rein in the 100 multinational corporations responsible for 71 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. But Laura Ingram doesn't actually want to talk about what we want to do to stop climate catastrophe. She just wants to lie, straw man and fear monger. And whatever solutions you propose, she's going to shoot that that down as well at the behest of her fossil fuel advertisers, at the behest of Fox News's advertisers within the industry that makes a lot of money polluting the planet, ruining the environment. Now, I hope that you didn't miss the line where she said they much prefer to order you around or if that's not possible to frighten you into abandoning your own common sense. This is quite literally what she's doing in this segment. And don't pretend as if ordering people around isn't the rights for a day. You order people around all the time. You claim that you care about freedom and personal liberty, but that's not true. You're ordering people around on a daily basis. This is the entire conservative ideology. You guys are the traditionalists, right? You want to ban abortion, stop women from having autonomy over their own bodies. You want to stop trans high school girls from participating in school sports. You want to stop gay people from having equal rights, not being discriminated against. So you boss people around all the time. So what are you saying that this is what the left wants to do? The states who were responsible in implementing lockdowns and mask mandates, they didn't do this because it's their kink to be authoritarian and have many dictatorships in states like California and Oregon. They did this because of a fucking pandemic that's so bad it comes around only once in a century. Now, of course, there are hypocrites within the Democratic Party. Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi. But were these objectively the correct measures to take during a pandemic? Yes. And anyone who disagrees with that is not a serious person. They're admitting that they don't care about the pandemic. Laura Ingram is implicitly telling you that she doesn't care at all that more than 500,000 Americans died during this pandemic. All she wants to communicate to her audience is that the left and more specifically, liberal politicians are bad because they took measures, drastic measures, but measures that were appropriate because of this pandemic measures to stop those deaths from racking up. Now, she adds, we won the COVID debate. Their so-called public health experts were wrong on everything from lockdowns to masks to social distancing. So she's declaring victory without even making an argument. Except what were you right about? Masks work. That's a fact. They are absolutely useful in stopping the spread of COVID-19. This is an airborne illness. So, of course, masks work. What are you even saying here? What are you implying? Because there was the clip of the CNN host or the CNN doctor wiping down the grocery products. That's like evidence that the left is wrong because we now know that COVID-19 isn't like latest spread via surfaces. I mean, OK, we were learning more about the pandemic as it went along. And we still don't know everything there was to know about the pandemic. We still don't know why it has basically no effect on people. They're asymptomatic, but other people die from it. We're learning about this. This is a learning process. So because we grow with more information and we adapt with new information, that doesn't necessarily mean that people were wrong. You were wrong about everything. Your network is promoting misinformation about vaccines. And yet as vaccinations increase, cases go down. So by that measure, you're wrong. So what she's saying here is just shameless propaganda. Absolutely idiotic virtue signalling to her right wing audience who she desperately wants to stay glued to her television show and television network. So what does she do? She keeps him afraid. Trust me, this is what you all should be afraid of. And I'm going to tell you what you should be afraid of next. Just keep coming back, keep consuming my media, eat up my propaganda. And I will make sure you know all the good things to be afraid of. Don't be afraid of actual threats like a highly contagious deadly disease that killed more than 500,000 Americans. I'm going to tell you the real threats. It's climate lockdowns, it's immigrants. That's the real threats in America.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQlWqns63WU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

They were randomized customer names and someone wins that So, you know, it's weird about this but it says eagles who the how are the eagles back in the day because it has Willie Keeler for Base CPS they have him for the Brooklyn Super Vaz Then they have him for the Eagles Yankees and Orioles. I Gotta figure out who the Eagles were Give me one second Or you know what maybe group break check was actually has it better And They have Willie for Baltimore here, okay So in this booklet says Baltimore, but I guess they were called the Baltimore Eagles back in the day Yeah, well, it says Baltimore. So that's what I'm gonna go with on the card has Baltimore than it has Tommy Heinrich Yankees But this is it right here. So he's part of this checklist right here So the triple booklet relic is the one that we're looking for right there. Yeah, all right So cool. So let's do that. I don't mind really quick So we're gonna go Baltimore then we're gonna go Newark and We'll put Yankees just so people don't make confused, but it's New York Yankees and just to show you guys too when you guys look up mule He is part of no nobody in the MLB I believe he was part of the the Negro team of back in the day, so but This guy supposedly was like Really really good though, like I don't even think people called him like Babe Ruth He had some crazy stats and he has part of the baseball Hall of Fame as well So there you go All right, so remember Baltimore Orioles New York and again if mule subtles wins that one It'll go to everybody then I'll have a separate randomizer for all the list of customer names And since it's not a failure with any team everybody has a shot at it and then customer name at number one gets that all right So let's see who wins this one first Roll it and we got ourselves a four and a two four six times. Good luck one two three four five six And there you go. That's exactly what I just said four into two six times. So Newark Which is mule subtles now everybody's gonna have a shot at this now since it is not affiliated with any MLB team So now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to grab all the customer names now And everybody's gonna get a piece of this history Get a shot at it at least I should say and we use the same dice rule here four to two as New York did win the randomizer now everybody has a shot at this name at number one gets that booklet now Good luck one two three four five and Six then final time guys.

I know there was so much to take away from that season ending press conference that the Baltimore Ravens had a couple of hours ago which featured general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Hallbaugh. They said a lot, they said a whole lot in that presser. And my thing, all right, you said a lot, you talked a good game, but for me, seeing is believing. Now I'm interested to see how their actions follow every single word that they said. And even if you can accomplish everything that you talked about, at least getting most of it done. Because some of the things that they talked about and they highlighted in this press are things that we've been highlighting for years that the Ravens should have been on a long time ago. So now, hey, better late than never, but hopefully it's not too late. So one of the things that we about to talk about right now, John Hallbaugh, he was asked about the next offensive coordinator, who it could be and whatnot. And if Lamar Jackson would have any say so in who that offensive coordinator was. And Hallbaugh said that Lamar Jackson, he will have input. He certainly will have input on whoever the next offensive coordinator is. Now, hopefully that input is significant enough to where Lamar Jackson, however he feels, can sway the decision whether Lamar Jackson is for it, great, well, whether Lamar Jackson is against it. So hopefully his voice will certainly be heard amongst the Ravens front office when it comes to the next offensive coordinator because it is such a huge decision for the Baltimore Ravens. And it's a risk, it's a risk, but it's a risk that I don't mind them taking. I like them taking the risk. I like them putting themselves out there for their quarterback or hopefully for who I hope their quarterback ends up being for the foreseeable future because obviously nothing is set in stone right now. Now, the way that it's risky, say for instance, Lamar Jackson's like, hey, I want him to be my offensive coordinator. And the Ravens hired him as offensive coordinator, Lamar Jackson ends up re-signing, great, amazing. But then on the flip side, what if Lamar Jackson says, hey, I want him as my offensive coordinator. Ravens end up signing him as offensive coordinator, great, but Lamar Jackson doesn't re-sign with the Ravens. And what do you do? So that's one risk, but again, like I said, that's a risk that the Ravens should be willing to take if they really want to keep Lamar Jackson. Now, another thing with them allowing him to have input on this new offensive coordinator, whoever it ends up being, I think personally, this is just my personal opinion. I mean, everything I share on here pretty much a personal opinion, but I think this should have happened already. I really do. I think that this should have happened years ago. I think it should have happened, not even after the 2019 season now. That would be too early. Well, I think at the earliest, it should have happened after the 2020 season, but at the latest, it should have happened last year, last off season. That's why I think it should have went down. Because if you brought in somebody last year in Lamar's contract year, like, hey, what type of offense are you comfortable with the offense that we've been running? Do you still want to run that type of offense? Or do you want to go in a different direction? Hey, Lamar, we want to hear from you. Because what the Ravens are showing me right now, if Lamar truly has input on this offense, they're telling me that, hey, we want to invest in that guy. Because yeah, they've been talking about the contract for years. They've been talking about that. Obviously nothing has been done yet. Okay, cool. Like Eric DeCosta did say, it takes two. So it takes Eric DeCosta on his side, and obviously Lamar Jackson on his side to agree on a deal and move forward. But what they're telling me from this about him being able to have input is like, hey, we really want to invest in Lamar Jackson. So we want to invest in him with the contract, and we want to invest in him with the offense. Now, to take it up another notch, the Ravens also said, John Hopeall, he said that we want to completely like build up our wide receiver room. And I was like, yeah. Okay, and he even talked about how, yeah, we want Lamar Jackson to have more options. We want him to have more weapons. And I was like, huh. Oh, hold up now, Hopeall. Where you been that for the past couple years now? Where is all this coming from? But again, that's another indication that the Baltimore Ravens really want to invest in Lamar Jackson. Seeing is believing. So they still got to show action to back up all those words, but this is a good start. But those words let you know they want to invest in him. So my concern, my concern with this is how are they going to do this? What's going to be the chronological order of everything that happens? What I mean when I say that, what's going to happen first? Are you going to show Lamar like, hey, look, we invested in a wide receiver. We got this guy. We got that guy. We drafted this guy. We drafted that guy. We signed this guy. We brought him in. Are you going to show him first? And then as far as the offensive coordinator, because the offensive coordinator, I feel like that almost has to be the first domino that falls because that could really change everything. And even with whoever they get at offensive coordinator, I still feel like it's going to be really tough for them to bring in wide receivers, quality wide receivers that are free agents or even via trade too. Because I feel like they're either going to have to overpay. And I put that in quotation marks because, I mean, can you really put a price on great talent? But anyway, they will have to overpay. But then on top of that, they're really going to have to, throughout this entire year moving forward, especially if Lamar Jackson is here, they're going to really have to show to show the NFL that they're offense, that they can get receivers involved, that they care about the receivers. Like it's funny because if you go back a year in Hardball's presser, to believe it was a season ending one, he said, we're not begging for any receivers to come here. We're not doing that. But not that he necessarily changes tune, but it's definitely the script has been flipped. Because now before it was, oh yeah, we're not begging any receivers to come here. If you want to win, cool. But if not, hey, we're lying up against you. But now it's, hey, our offense is 75% intact. It's just that 25% that's not intact. And that 25% is a wide receiver room. So we're going to bring back some guys, but we're going to have a lot of new guys there too. I said, ooh. But then that made me wonder, like, why now? Where was this years ago? And then I thought, oh, wait a minute. They are saying all the right things now and it's contract time. So I just hope, my hope is that obviously I want Lamar Jackson to stay. I want the Ravens to re-sign Lamar Jackson to a long-term deal. But what I don't want to happen is the Ravens talk this good game. They talk a real good game. They end up re-signing Lamar Jackson to that long-term deal, which would be great. And then they'd be like, ah, we got him. We got him. Because that would be frustrating, but that would be business. That can happen in business, where people are negotiating. Then all of a sudden you're like, hmm, you know what? Stow out some incentives. Here, take that, here, take that. Hey, if you sign here, then we'll do this for you. If you sign that, we'll do that. For if you sign here, we got you with this. And then you sign there and then poof. Nothing. Nothing. So I just really hope Ravens deliver on all of this stuff for Lamar Jackson. And like we've been saying for years, this is stuff that they should have been delivered on. It's stuff that they should have been doing, stuff that they should have addressed a long time ago, years ago, literally years ago, but they hadn't. They didn't. And this is why I would always say that, hey, the Ravens, they showed us that they didn't really want to invest in Lamar like that. And we talked about it. We talked about that for years. Had the Ravens have shown us that they not invested in Lamar like that. We talked about it with the coaching staff, with how this offense that they've been running, they're not investing because that offense has just had such a lack of growth. We talked about that for years, man. Then we talked about the personnel, but how they, hey, they'll get like 50 tight ends. They'll get 60 running backs, but then they have like two, three receivers. And again, a lot of times it seems like with the Ravens, they only have receivers on the roster just because it's an NFL requirement. If they didn't have receivers on the roster, Ravens would just have, they have about 51 tight ends. 51 tight ends. But that's just something to watch out for, man. I just hope that, again, they deliver on all of this stuff that they're talking about. Lamar Jackson. He took to Twitter today, little after the Greg Roman announcement. And he quote-tweeted a tweet that was interesting, but nothing new. It was nothing new. So many people talked about how the Ravens, they revamped their offense, they rebuilt their offense all for Lamar Jackson, and that could not be further from the truth. The Ravens built their offense under Greg Roman for their philosophy, the philosophy that they had before Lamar Jackson, the philosophy that they have continued to have. And Greg Roman, the perfect offensive coordinator for that philosophy. We want to run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, play good defense. That's the Ravens right there in the nutshell. But Lamar Jackson, the tweet that he quote-tweeted, it came from fball game playing Emory Hunt. He said, let me just get this out here before folks start wrongly discussing the Ravens search for a new offensive coordinator. Lamar Jackson ran a pro-style offense in college at Louisville under Bobby Petrino. And Lamar Jackson quote-tweeted that and said, thank you. Thank you. And a lot of us were saying thank you to that same tweet because we talked about that too. We talked about that. This system, again, it wasn't for Lamar. It was for the Ravens. And they use Lamar in that system. And he's done a pretty good job in that system. Ravens have got a lot of wins, so credit the system and credit Lamar, great job working together. But they just been such a lack of growth. That's why with whoever the next offensive coordinator is gonna be, as long as Lamar Jackson continues to be the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, this is such a huge decision because the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, if he does really have input, they need to choose the best man for the job. Not a buddy, not a friend, not a family, no, none of that. They need to choose the best man for the job. You need to choose somebody who will not only bring out the best in Lamar Jackson, somebody who's really gonna challenge Lamar Jackson, really take him to a whole other level because the potential has just been sitting right there for years, it's been sitting there, but the Ravens haven't even tapped the potential, ain't even come close to tapping the potential. So you need somebody that's gonna challenge him to really bring it out of him, but on top of that, you need somebody who is going to challenge the talent and use, use the talent that the Ravens have at different positions and use guys for what they specialize in. They have to, cause Ravens have done such a bad job of doing that for years. They don't capitalize on guys' talents, on their playmaking abilities, on what they do well. They gotta get better at that. The situational play calling is of the essence. It's of the essence, cause that's been an issue for years as well. The accountability, that's a whole another topic though. So we talk about that another time, but Ravens certainly gotta do a better job. And Lamar, Lamar was definitely busy on Twitter today with the news, Lamar translator. Shout out to him. He said on a serious note, Greg is probably the best run coordinator in maybe NFL history. He's got the stats to back it up. The offense reached the ceiling and it was time for a move. Thank you for everything you did in Baltimore, including coordinating the best team rushing season ever. And yeah, shout out to Greg Roman. So I know so many people, they dump on Greg Roman. It's easy to dump on Greg Roman, but you gotta give him his credit as well. He had his issues, but he certainly had his good things as well. So shout out to Greg Roman, but Lamar Jackson, he liked that tweet. And then he liked this one from RG3, where it said, Greg Roman may be of the greatest run game tacticians I have ever been around at the NFL level. Running backs and tight ends love his system because they eat. Wide receivers absolutely hate it. That's why free agent wide receivers didn't want to go to or stay in Baltimore. It was never about Lamar Jackson. Wow. So RG3 said that Lamar Jackson liked that one too. That is partially true. That's not the whole truth though. That's part of it though. But the wide receiver thing with the Baltimore Ravens that's been going on way before Greg Roman was there. That's been happening. It's been happening. Even when Flacco was here, there was a receiver that he didn't put himself on the record. He said, leave me anonymous. He said that their scheme, he said their passing scheme is to just throw the ball up and hope for a passing offense. That's before Lamar was even a thought on the Baltimore Ravens. And we've seen the receivers that have come in and not come to the Baltimore Ravens. So, yeah man. But anyway, this is a step in the right direction for the Ravens when it comes to Lamar, when it comes to them keeping Lamar because you're giving him more power. And if you really wanna keep somebody and you really wanna show somebody that you value them, show them that you value their opinion. You value what they think on things. You value, they say you value what they want and you value their values. And obviously Lamar Jackson, his one of his values seems to be that he wants to run a better offense. Obviously he wanna get paid. Like he want a valuable contract. Oh yeah, I mean, we all wanna get paid for our work. But I just really want the Ravens to show him, even though they should have been showed him. But I really want them to show him that they value him. And I just hope that it's not just so he can sign and then they be like, you know what, about that. No, follow through. It's my biggest thing. We'll talk more about the presser tomorrow. We actually already did the video covering the presser, but we'll drop that tomorrow morning for you. So I appreciate y'all team. Keep it clean. I love y'all and we out.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQP-3k6VmnU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Thank you Thank you, Mr. Speaker I rise in this house today to recognize an extraordinary effort undertaken in my writing Perry Salma Over the past week the Royal Canadian Air Force has been leading operations on Lake Muscova Recover a World War two-era aircraft. It was lost over 70 years ago The Northrop Nomad aircraft number three five two one had crashed into Lake Muscova on December 13th 1940 killing Lieutenant Peter Campbell and leading aircraftsman Theodore Ted Bates I would personally like to recognize the efforts of the lost airman in Muscova project who located the plane in 2007 and others that made the recovery a reality including President of Lamp Matt Fairbrass Ron Brent Al Bacon and Bracepers Legion branch 161 and many many other community volunteers as well the OPP dive team who discovered the aircraft in 2010 and the Royal Canadian Navy Fleet diving unit who recovered remains of the two airmen in 2013 With the many groups involved one can appreciate how the success this project has truly been a combined effort an Event was held this past Monday November 3rd to display the wreckage Before transporting it to the National Air Force Museum in Trenton where future generations will be able to experience this piece of local wartime history. I was fortunate enough to see the recovered pieces of the aircraft myself this past weekend This being Remembrance Week I can think of no more fitting time to pay tribute to those who served our country and to those whose efforts as With the lost airmen in Muscova project continue to help remind us future generations of the immense sack face made by Canadians Thank you Mr. Speaker, I would like to take the opportunity to speak about the centennial year of the Princess Patricia's Canadian light infantry 2014 marks the 100th year of the regiment formed in 1914 to fight in World War one They since have been an integral part of every major Canadian campaign while the regiments headquarters are in Western Canada I am proud to say that many patricious call London home to commemorate the centennial a displayed team and a baton relay team made Stops between Edmonton and Ottawa including a stop in London Showcasing the regiments history from World War one to the present day bringing the past to life They also carried a rule of honor that lists the 1866 patricious who have sacrificed their lives over the past hundred years It was truly a touching tribute to the men and women of the patricious and Canada's armed forces in light of Remembrance Day and recent fatal attacks on members of our armed forces right here in Canada The centennial celebration of the patricious has served as a timely reminder of the immense sacrifice of past present and future Canadian soldiers less we forget the dedication of the men and women who have fought and secured our freedom with their lives Thank you Thank You speaker earlier today in my riding of Cambridge a holiday tradition reached its 26th year as it as the trees of carrying were lit once more Each year Cambridge Memorial Hospital has lit several trees with lights each one Representing a donation made to support our hospital This year will be no different as this morning the trees of carrying kickoff was held at Cambridge Memorial Hospital As the holiday season progresses many people myself included Enjoyed passing by and seeing an increased number of lights with each passing day knowing their donations will purchase new equipment This year as our government recently celebrated the groundbreaking of the Cambridge Memorial Hospital expansion The fundraising efforts take on a new tone Raising money for the new and expanded sections, which are now being built as the only hospital in Cambridge and North Dumfries Cambridge Memorial is critically important to the livelihood of our community and the over 130,000 people that it serves Speaker I want to say thank you to all the hospital staff and to wish the hospital Foundation senior staff Including Jennifer white the executive director and Laurie mosaic McComb the senior development officer all the best with this year's Fundraising efforts. I'll be enjoying seeing the lights go on to Cambridge Memorial Hospital trees And I look forward to seeing the trees of carrying tradition continue for many years to come. Thank you Member status the member from Wellington home, Mr. Speaker It's my privilege to represent the people of the town of Halton Hills in this legislature And it's come to my attention that we need a new consolidated courthouse in Milton to serve the region of Halton Earlier this year. I was copied on a letter to Ms. Laura Oliver president of the Halton County law Association from Paul stunt a lawyer in Oakville He outlined the need for quote a new and adequate court facility to serve the residents of Halton region in Response I gave him a call and suggested he invite the Halton area MPPs for a tour of the existing Inadequate court facilities in Milton he agreed and I was pleased to have the opportunity to tour the courthouse on September The 10th and later to attend a town hall meeting of courthouse users including lawyers judges and staff I understand that the other Halton MPPs my colleagues are scheduled to be touring the courthouse next week As always, I'm prepared to work cooperatively across party lines with other Halton MPPs To encourage the government to approve the new courthouse we need in Halton I've also discussed this issue directly with the Attorney General and our Attorney General critic and I appreciate their genuine interest We are seeking a briefing with ministry staff on the approval process for new courthouses And I look forward to hearing confirmation from the AG's office as I hope we can have this briefing as soon as it can be Possibly set up. Let's work together and get this done. Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker Thank you Thank You mr. Speaker on November 11th We will pause to mark Remembrance Day, but for a lot of young people they often ask the question What exactly are we remembering my three children who are now in their 20s used to ask the same question when they were much Younger as a parent I wanted to help them find a way to understand the significance of Remembrance Day and the commitment made by Canadian men and women Many of whom paid with their lives protecting the freedoms that we enjoy today So about 15 years ago on Remembrance Day, we visited the Legion in Kitchener branch number 50 At the entrance there's a wall where etched in stone are the names of local soldiers who lost their lives in battle Together we look for the name Fred Tucker. That's their great uncle who died at the age of 23 in Holland He was killed just a couple of days before the war in Europe ended So that visit to the Legion to look for uncle Fred's name became an annual tradition for our family It helped my children make a personal connection Understanding why brave Canadians served their country I know that many of us have stories like this as part of our family folklore Perhaps it was a relative who served in a battle long ago or maybe someone in a more recent conflict So I urge you if you have the opportunity to help a young person reflect on the meaning of Remembrance Day Do share your stories help them appreciate why it is that we remember Thank you Thank you Mr. Speaker I rise today to pay tribute and remember those who have served and those who have fallen in the service of their country Freedom and independence Of course the Canadians November 11th marks a solemn day of remembrance However this day also marks Poland's Independence Day At the end of World War One Poland was allowed to regain her independence after 123 years of partition by the Russian Empire, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire On November 11th 1918 the second Polish Republic was founded under the leadership of Marshal Józef Pusotski For Polish Canadians and Poles worldwide the celebration of November 11th Independence Day is a tangible reminder of the real reasons why just nations must sometimes take up arms For the preservation of a country, a national identity and ultimately freedom from oppression or domination of itself or other nations For us in Canada Poland's Independence Day also serves as a reminder of what this nation's brave men and women fought for in the Great War The preservation of freedom and independence For Poland that freedom and independence was short lived and once again Poland and the world were plunged into armed conflict during World War II Canadians, Poles and many others once again took up arms side by side in defense of freedom That freedom for Poland was not fully regained until 1989 Canadians and Poles were staunch allies and Polish Canadians thank all Canadians who served not just in the defense of this country but of Poland	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQIlcy6jbBQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCOJAC5fQcjc2dQ2dUPCnh4Q	Louis Martin "San Francisco Squeezed" at "Poets 11" 2016	Between the boom cars and the “creatives”, between the techies and the tourists, between Airbnb and Uber, and all the other wannabe “disruptors” and “innovators”, San Francisco is getting squeezed on all sides. There is no room for poetry, music, or even a pleasant thought anymore! — only the motion of the card being swiped and the occasional, nostalgic jingle of the cash register. All is “Hey, dude!”, “What the fuck!”, “awesome”, and “cool”, which nothing really is in the new economy and city. San Francisco, you have become a sad place. The wind on the Bay has gone out of your sails, your inspiration now replaced by software, integrated circuits, and schemers’ schemes. “The City” — or perhaps we had better just call it “the city” now — has handed over its soul to money and mediocrity, with tours of all its treasures, private parts included. For a price now, San Francisco — better called “Francesca” and without the saintly suffix — will let you feel her up. In Francesca, once proud of its writers, Jack Kerouac is now a commodity sold at the Beat Museum along side his old buddy, Neal Cassady; Ina Coolbrith, Frank Norris, and George Sterling are, unfortunately, long forgotten but, fortunately, not peddled by rough hands; the name Ferlinghetti still rings a distant bell, with occasional ghost-like sightings of the ancient bard in North Beach; and Alan Ginsberg is still remembered for his anger and displeasure with everything under the sun, a popular San Francisco theme to this day. With nearly every alley named for a deceased poet, the city has become a shadowy ghost town, a city of shades, artificial and pumped up by the “hospitality” industry out to make as many bucks as possible short of armed robbery and pulling wallets on buses. Hip poets come and go like politicians without qualifications. “Metaphor, meter, symbol, simile…? Who needs ’em?” Poetry, once an art form, is now more like the confession of a prisoner on death row. “Kissing her ruby lips and looking into her starry eyes, I told her goodbye, then cut her throat.” Moreover, anything hip or cool is taken for a poem, “outrageous” being the sole measure of quality. Ditto music. Loud is the standard of quality, assault on the listeners’ sensibility the measure of aesthetic value. The lyric trumpet of Chet Baker is long gone, replaced by the heavy metallic twang of guitar strings strained to the breaking point and the brutal pummeling of drum heads. “Take that you son of a bitch!” The spirit of Baron Haussmann, once the bane of Paris per poet Charles Baudelaire, roosts now in San Francisco, straightening out not the streets but the minds and souls of San Franciscans while putting a cell phone in every new Merry Pranksters’ hand and pocket. The electromagnetic disturbance of the caller is directly routed to the brain of the person called. Haussmann would love this, though the brain may not. “TECH IS RIGHT AND LIFE IS WRONG!” shout the Baron and his Millennial throng. Staying in the bus and taking drugs might have been a better way to lose one’s mind than Facebook on Androids. Generationally speaking, “Far fucking out!” probably trumps “Way cool!” when it comes to saying that something is good or interesting. Coffee houses and bars, once the intellectual lifeblood of the city, are now on every tourist hit list — Caffe Trieste, Vesuvio’s, Tosca, Specs’… — “must see” attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge, demanding proof that you were there. “Sir, can you move for a moment while I shoot a picture of the picture on the wall? And who is that odd fellow with the hat?” And while Starbucks was made for techies, they don’t always stay there. When it comes to discussions of XML, or the Extensible Markup Language, or “monetizing” access to medical statistics on cancer research, these darling kids seem to prefer Trieste or Tosca. Remember Doctor Strangelove? Any day now I expect these kids to start striking themselves while drinking their double lattes. “Why did you do that, right-hand dude?” As for the Islamic State, I think cell meetings are held at Specs on Wednesdays. But don’t quote me on that one, okay? (...Continued in the printed book of Poets 11 for 2016.)	[ "sfpl", "san francisco public library", "san francisco", "sfpl.org" ]	2016-10-05T21:58:21	2024-02-15T15:59:53	469	ZqF2gz6jEbU	Good afternoon. I have a note here, because I keep forgetting to read it, about Baron Hausmann, who is mentioned in this poem. And he is the guy, the mayor of Paris under Napoleon III, who attempted to straighten out and, in fact, did many of the streets in Paris. Poet Charles Baudelaire hated him for it. He loved the curvy old village atmosphere of the old city. This was in the 1870s, something like that. And he also put in gas lamps, which I think Baudelaire described as red-eyed monsters. He was basically against progress. So really it was Charles Baudelaire who made Hausmann famous for his partial destruction of the city. So perhaps Mayor Ed Lee might want to think about this in San Francisco. I don't think he's here. I don't think he's here today, though. Yeah. This is called San Francisco Squeezed. Between the boom cars and the creatives, between the techies and the tourists, between Airbnb and Uber, and all the other wannabe disruptors and innovators, San Francisco was getting squeezed on all sides. There was no room for poetry, music, or even a pleasant thought anymore. Only the motion of the card being swiped through the reader and the occasional nostalgic jingle of the cash register. All is, hey, dude, what the fuck? Awesome and cool, which nothing really is in the new economy and city. San Francisco, you have become a sad place. The wind on the bay has gone out of your sails. Your inspiration now replaced by software, integrated circuits, and schemer schemes. The city, or perhaps we had better call it the city now, lowercase, has handed over its soul to money and mediocrity with tours of all its treasures, private parts included. For a price now, San Francisco, better called Francesca and without the saintly suffix, will let you feel her up. In Francesca, once proud of its writers, Jack Kerouac is now a commodity sold at the Beak Museum alongside his old buddy Neil Cassidy. In Yacoubret, Frank Norris and George Sterling are unfortunately long forgotten, but fortunately not peddled by rough hands. The name Farrell and Getty still rings a distant bell with occasional ghost-like sightings of the ancient bard in North Beach. Valen Ginsburg is still remembered for his anger and displeasure with everything under the sun, a popular San Francisco theme to this day. With nearly every alley named for a deceased poet, the city has become a shadowy ghost town, a city of shades, artificial and pumped up by the hospitality industry, out to make as many bucks as possible short of armed robbery and pulling wallets on buses. Hip poets come and go like politicians without qualifications. Metaphor, meter, symbol, similarly, who needs them? Poetry once in art form is now more like the confessions of a prisoner on death row. Kissing her ruby lips and looking into her starry eyes, I told her goodbye then, cut her throat. Moreover, anything hip or cool is taken for a poem, outrageous being the sole measure of quality. Ditto music, loud as the standard of quality, assault on the listener's sensibility, the measure of aesthetic value. The lyric trumpet of Chad Baker is long gone, replaced by the heavy metallic twang of guitar strings, strained to the breaking point in the brutal pummeling of drum heads. Take that, you son of a bitch! The spirit of Baron Houseman, once the bane of Paris per poet, Charles Boulard, roosts now in San Francisco, straightening out not the streets, but the minds and souls of San Franciscans, while putting a cell phone in every new merry prankster's hand in pocket. The electrical magnetic disturbance of the caller is directly routed to the brain of the person called. Houseman would love this, though the brain may not. That is right, and life is wrong. Shout the Baron and his millennial throng. Stain in Ken Casey's bus and taking drugs might have been a better way to lose one's mind than Facebook on androids. Generationally speaking, far fucking out, probably Trump's way cool when it comes to saying that something is good or interests you. Coffee houses and bars, once the intellectual lifeblood of the city, are now on every tourist hit list. Café to Rias Vesuvius, Tosca specs, must see attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge demanding proof that you were rare. Sir, can you move for a moment? Well, I shoot a picture of the picture on the wall. And who is that odd fellow with a hat? And while Starbucks was made for techies, they don't always stay there. When it comes to discussions of XML or the extensible markup language or monetizing access to medical statistics on cancer research, these darling kids seem to prefer Trieste or Tosca. Remember Dr. Strangelove? Any day now I expect these kids to start striking themselves when drinking their double lattes. Well, why did you do that right hand, dude? As for the Islamic State, I think cell meetings are held at specs on Wednesdays. But don't quote me on that one, okay? But let me stop right here. Between one bad thing and another, there was only bitterness to be found. Soot, grime, ashes, even excrement, which, if swallowed, can make you throw up. I don't want to do that today. But I do ask you, dear reader, to consider this. While some of the above may appear humorous, where is the substance in a city that panders to tourists, relegates many of its solid older citizens to gig laborers exploited by young entrepreneurs, and treats the arts when it acknowledges them at all, like politics, as a personality contest among immature youths trying to appear defiant, disruptive, and outrageous. And what about a city that trades all substantial business to shipping yards across the bay, thereby avoiding all honest labor? With tourists demanding everything, perhaps even your old apartment, with techie entrepreneurs running the show into the ground and with the arts, reduced to children acting out in the backseat of the family car, such a city seriously lacks authenticity. From Nob Hill or Russian Hill, the view is still stunning. But don't look down. You will be appalled at the lack of anything real beneath your feet.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqF2gz6jEbU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCR4tuhqPppVp-PD0q17sPEA	Allo Boss v1.2 DAC for Raspberry Pi	Allo impressed me with their DigiOne SPDIF board and USBridge USB board for the Raspberry Pi. The Piano series of DAC boards were less to my liking, they are clearly aimed at different public. I heard more positive words on the Boss and just when I was ready to look at it, I was notified an updated version would come available at short notice: the Allo Boss version 1.2.

Deur piano-series van DAC-boards waren minder aan m'n likking. Ze zijn gelijk aangepakt op een verschillende markt. Ik heb meer positieve woorden van de boss gehad en toen ik er klaar was om te kijken, was ik geïnteresseerd dat een update versie eruit zou kunnen worden. De LO Boss version 1.2. LO heeft twee lijn van audioprojecten. Eén voor de Raspberry Pi en één voor het kleine boardcomputer, de Sparky. De US Bridge, bijvoorbeeld, is geïnteresseerd voor de Sparky waar de Digi-1 is geïnteresseerd voor de Raspberry Pi. Zie de twee refu's die ik deed, de linkers in de shownoten. De boss is ook geïnteresseerd voor de Raspberry Pi. Het is, in essence, een digitale audioconverter met alleen een i-squaredes input. i-squaredes is een digitale audiobus dat was geïnteresseerd voor gebruik in een device, zoals een cd-player. De wat strangere naam is een abbreviatie van Inter IC Sound, IIS. Techies natuurlijk veranderen dat naar i-squaredes. Het gebruikt separate bussers voor de klok en de serial data. De bossboard gebruikt de zo-called i-squaredes master mode, waar de klokconciliters op de boss zijn in controle, dus de naam boss, ik denk. Deze manier is voor het audio-poor klokkingssignal van de Raspberry Pi omgeleid. Er is niets ergens met de Raspberry Pi, maar het is niet geïnteresseerd om hoog kwaliteit audio rendering. De i-squaredes master mode solst een probleem. Een ander is de voldoende voldoende supply als de dakboord van de voldoende bus op de Raspberry Pi is. Natuurlijk kan dit kunnen filteren. De boss even de voldoende in drie separate voldoende en regulade voldoingen splitten. Een voor de digitale audiopart, een voor de analog audiopart en een voor de klokconciliters. Maar de beste solution is niet om de voldoende van de Raspberry Pi te gebruiken. Dat is waarom ik de printheaders op de Hi-Fi-Berry-boord soldeerde. Zie je de link in de show notes. En dat is waarom de boss heeft een separate voldoende voldoende op de boord in de shape van een USB-C-connector. Je kunt nog steeds de boss Raspberry Pi combinatie van de micro USB-power input op de Raspberry Pi, die is de laatste optimale, voed de combinatie over de USB-C-connector op de bus, die is een betere optie. Of omgeven een jumper en voed de Raspberry Pi en de boss separate, die is de beste optie. De mensen in de forums vaak focussen op de DAC-chip gebruikt. Maar het is niet alleen de DAC-chip dat maakt een DAC uniek. Het is de kwaliteit van de voldoende supply, de gedeelte van de digitale bus en de precies van de klokconciliters die de DAC-chip drijden. Dan is de kwaliteit van de analoge deel die de current uit de DAC-chip gaat om een voldoende om de amplifier te drijden. De voldoende supply natuurlijk is externaal, dus kun je jezelf chooseen en als geval kan je een separate voldoende supply gebruiken voor de Raspberry Pi in de boss. Noten dat je een voldoende supply nodig hebt met een mini USB-A-connector voor de Raspberry Pi en een USB-C-connector voor de boss. Naast dat USB-C-connector vind je de jumper om de voldoende supply-connector tussen de Raspberry Pi en de bus te disconnecten. Waarschijnlijk als je twee voldoende supplies gebruikt. En terwijl we hier de Texas Instruments PCM 5122 DAC-chip, subrandat Burr-Brown, situaties hier. De dubbele NDK-oscilatoren zijn in de schilderde huising met naast het 2-klok distributie. Dus er zijn separate klokken voor 44,1 kHz-base en 48 kHz-base klokkenfrequencies. Voor die die willen connecten met de Allo-Volt Class-D en port, een audio-connection is gegeven in deze header, waardoor een 5 volt en een mute-signal is senden door de extende GPIO-header. Deze kleine voldoende componenten maken het heel moeilijk om de voltage-regulatoren te identificeren. Maar op de informatie van Allo, Linear LT3042 regulatoren gebruik ik. In de analog-stages vond ik filmcapacitors, die makkelijker zijn om te identificeren. Gewoon zoals de supercapacitum op de ronde van de boord, dat er extra currenten nodig is. Alle deze measures en de printlijden influenceerden de audio-kwaliteit. Ik heb het eerder gezegd. Ik maak alle equipment, maar ik ben heel gelukkig om de measurement te laten zien. Niet om de mensen te verkeerden met onverstaanbare graven. Maar deze is niet hard te verstehen en heel illustratief. Het is een spectrum van de hoogte. Het ziet eruit dat een samarbeleving op 44.0801 kHz leek door, samen met een verkeerings- of kloksignal op about 31 kHz. Er is niets om te zorgen om het nog op een hoge niveau te hebben. Het klopt precies uit wanneer de overal hoogte is heel hoog. Waarschijnlijk is dit wat je wilt. Deze graf is een andere ding, want het bevindt twee measurementen. De groenlijden zijn bevindt met de SBooster Power Supply en de blauwe lijden zijn bevindt met een Switching Mode Power Supply zoals het vaak bevindt met de Raspberry Pi voor minder dan 10 euro's. Het is alleen een paar dB's, maar het is ook veel minder stabil. Dus het is waarschijnlijk een andere irregulariteit ook. Maar genoeg tech. Sinds ik dat voor Lumio, PiCorePlayer en Ropea al zijn dezelfde, ik gebruik alleen Ropea voor het luisteren test. Het is een heel fijn, zelf installeerd Roon Ready endpoint software voor de Raspberry Pi en het supportt veel audio boards, including the Aloe Boss. Zie de link in de show notes voor mijn review. Ik geef de Raspberry Pi en kon niet alleen op de Raspberry Pi door de Bos, met ieder de LG ProWallward of de SBooster. Ik heb gezegd eerder dat een DAC is in essenz dezelfde als een digitale controle beer tab. Als je de tab met de kwaliteit beer op de correcte pressie en temperatuur en als de digitale controle signal is vloorlijk, krijg je een perfecte beer tijd na tijd. Nu, substitueer de beer met elektriciteit en de tab met de DAC. De digitale controle signal is een digitale audio signal dat bevindt hoe wide de tab zal open zijn. En dus hoeveel current passen door de DAC. Een zo-called current-to-voltage circuit konvert dat naar de output-voltage. Zoals met de beer, als je op de afstand van de opdracht met de pollutende opdracht, de uitdracht van de opdracht zal produceren de deur van die pollutende opdracht resultant in een meer of minder gestorpte signal. Ik kan je vertellen dat gebruik van de LG ProWallward is een ontzettend gevolg van de designers van de Bos. Alstubel door een iFi-i-power of een audiophonische power supply en als je de geld kunt sparen, ga voor de SBooster. Zie de link in de link in de link in de link in de link in de link in de link. Zie de link in de show notes voor de revie van deze drie. Je kunt de LG ProWallward gebruiken om de Raspberry Pi te sparen en dan gebruik je een van de 4 geïnterne kwaliteit van de Bos te sparen. Dat geeft de beste resultaat, waardoor je altijd moet bewaren met de cheap switching mode power supplies waarin ze de mains ook voelen en je amp deze manier kunnen influeren. Dat is waarom ik altijd een mainsfilter gebruik om deze power supplies op te gebruiken. Tot nu toe heb ik de Raspberry Pi met de DAC-bord om alleen mijn setup 3, mijn sub 1000 euro referentie te voelen. De Bos plaatst zichzelf in het onderdeel van mijn setup 2. Dat is precies meer kritiek en kost rond 4.000 euro. Nu, niet met me neer. Het is niet de U.S. bridge met korte mojo. Maar de limiteren, elke DAC heeft een niveau van limiteren. Niet in de manier van genoeg muziek. De stereo image is niet zo wide en diep. Het is niet zo open en analytiek. Maar vooral zijn de cibulanten wel ondersteund. En weer, het is eerlijk beter dan andere DAC-borden voor de Raspberry Pi. Ik zou het in mijn setup 2 in mijn setup 2 voor uur zonder fatiging lopen. Aan 68 euro, de Bos version 1.2 is niet precies de cheapest DAC-bord rond. Het kan niet gewoon de componenten gebruiken. En dan, vergeet niet om de spaces te orderen, een USB-C adapter voor de power en een huis. Een volledig kit, inclusief een microSD-kart met een operatiesystem en software voor jouw keuze, geïnstalleerd, zal je 125 euro terugzetten. Voor dat geld kan je een streamer, renderer of run-inpoort op de keuze van de software. Ik ga je tevreden om een aantal goede streamer, renderer of run-inpoort voor dat geld te vinden. Een Sonos of Bluesound zal meer kosten en zeker de Sonos Connect zullen geluid zijn. Natuurlijk, de software van Sonos en Bluesound is eerlijk superior aan de software voor de Pi. Maar wanneer je Volumio, PiCore player, Ropea of andere stukken software zal het meestal vrij zijn. Is dit niet een mooie tijd waar je een volledig Bos 1.2 player, kit en hard disk kan worden installeerd volumio of equal en heb je een volledig streamer voor lessen 200 euro.

However, it's only now becoming clear that the consumption of diets rich in plant foods can influence neuro-inflammation, brain inflammation, leading to the expression of cytoprotective, cell protective, and restorative proteins. Just over the last decade, remarkable progress has been made to realize that oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation are major risk factors underlying brain aging, so no wonder antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods may help. The brain is especially vulnerable to free radical-attack oxidative stress due to its high-fat content and its cauldron of high metabolic activity. You don't want your brains to go rancid, so you'd think one of the major fat-soluble dietary antioxidants like beta-carotene would step in. But the major carotenoid concentrated in the brain is actually lutein. The brain just preferentially sucks it up. For example, if you look at the oldest old, like in the Georgia Centenarian study, recognizing that oxidation is involved in age-related cognitive decline, they figured dietary antioxidants may play a role in its prevention or delay, so they looked at eight different ones, vitamin A, vitamin E, on down the list. And only lutein was significantly related to better cognition. Now, in this study, they looked at brain tissue on autopsy. By then, it's a little too late. So how could you study the effects of diet on the brain while you're still alive? I mean, if only there was a way we could physically look into the living brain with our own two eyes. There is, with our own two eyes, the retina. The back of our eyeball is actually an extension of our central nervous system and out-pouching of the brain during development. And right in the middle, there's a spot. This is what the doctor sees when they look into your eye with that bright light. That spot, called the macula, is our HD camera, where you get the highest resolution vision and it's packed with lutein. And indeed, levels in the retina correspond to levels in the rest of your brain. Your eyes can be a window into your brain. So now we can finally do studies on live people to see if diet can affect lutein levels in the eyes, which reflects lutein levels in the brain, and see if that correlates with improvements in cognitive function. And indeed, significant correlations exist between the amount of macular pigment, these plant pigments like lutein, in your eye, and cognitive test scores. You can demonstrate this on functional MRI scans suggesting lutein and a related plant pigment, called zeaxanthin, promote cognitive functioning in old age by enhancing neural efficiency, the efficiency by which our nerves communicate. Like check out this cool study on white matter integrity using something called the diffusion tensor imaging, which provides unique insights into brain network connectivity, allowing you to follow the nerve tracks throughout the brain. And researchers were able to show enhanced circuit integrity based on how much lutein and zeaxanthin they could see in people's eyes. Further evidence of a meaningful relationship between diet and integrity of our brains, particularly in regions vulnerable to age-related decline. So do Alzheimer's patients have less of this macular pigment? Significantly less lutein in their eyes, significantly less lutein in their blood, and a higher occurrence of macular degeneration where this pigment layer gets destroyed. The thickness of this plant pigment layer in your eyes can be measured and may be a potential marker for the beginnings of Alzheimer's. Let's not wait that long though. We know macular pigment density is related to cognitive function in older people. What about during middle age? One apparent consequence of aging appears to be the loss of some aspects of cognitive control, which starts out early, in mid-adulthood, but not in everybody, suggesting maybe something like diet could be driving some of the differences. Here's a measure of cognitive control showing younger, on average, do better than older adults. But older adults who have high macular pigment, lots of lutein in the back of their eyes, do significantly better. These results suggest that the protective role of carotenoids like lutein within the brain may be evident during early and middle-adulted decades prior to the onset of more apparent cognitive decline later in life. You can take 20-year-olds and show superior auditory function in those with more macular pigment in their eyes. Look, the auditory system, our hearing, like the rest of our central nervous system, is ultimately constructed and maintained by diet and is therefore not surprisingly sensitive to dietary intake throughout life, all the way back to childhood. Higher macular pigment is associated with higher academic achievement among schoolchildren. You can look into a kid's eyes and get some sense of how well they may do in subjects like math and writing. This finding is important because macular lutein is modifiable and can be manipulated by dietary intake. Okay, okay, so where is lutein found? The avocado and egg industries like to boast about how much of these macular pigments they have in their products, but the real superstars are dark green leafy vegetables. A half a cup of kale has 50 times more than an egg, a spinach salad, or a 50 egg omelet. In the earlier, the better. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should definitely be checking off my daily dozen green servings, but it's also apparently never too late. While some age-related cognitive decline is to be expected, these effects may be less pronounced among those eating more green and leafy, but you don't know for sure until you put it to the test, which we'll explore next.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqye4juqT8U", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC51g2r_bWOQq-7Y-VwU9sYA	How To Remove (Difficult) Double Chin - Photoshop CC	Removing difficult double chins in photoshop requires a number of steps. The first step is to use the pen tool and make a selection around the chin area you want to adjust. Next, right click and make that into a selection. From there, hold down alt (PC) or option (Mac) key and create two new copies from layer. On the top copy, create a clipping mask and clip it to the copy below. Now select the warp tool and adjust the warp so that the double chin is gone, or mostly gone. Next, select the brush tool and pick a soft round brush. Reduce the flow down to about 10% and select a skin tone. Paint over any blemishes and creases to remove the double chin. #doublechinphotoshop #photoshop #photoshoptutorial	[ "photoshop remove double chin", "remove double chin photoshop", "how to remove difficult double chin photoshop", "double chin photoshop removal", "how to reduce double chin photoshop" ]	2022-07-22T23:00:19	2024-02-15T16:20:53	329	zQ_DVTEr5ig	Welcome back to another Photoshop tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to get rid of a very heavy-duty double chin. This looks like Honey Boo Boo's mom, I believe, and we've managed to get rid of her double chin just like this, so there it's gone. How did I do it? It's quite complicated. Well, it's not complicated, but there's a number of steps, so I'm going to show you step-by-step how to do it. All right, here is a fresh copy of the image, and we're about to begin. The first step, go over to your left side here, and we're going to grab the pen tool. We're going to draw basically a selection around her chin, so I'm just going to click on there, and then I just drag it to make sure that I got her nicely done here. So I've got that. I'm going to go down to right about here, down to the crease of her neck, over to here, over to about here. I'm going to just go ahead. It doesn't have to be perfect. We just want a selection that gets most of the neck here, and we're going to leave the rest. With that done, we're now going to right-click on it. So right-click, and you can now go make selection. We're going to add a feathered radius of about four pixels. You can do it, maybe even, yeah, four pixels is fine, but anywhere between four and five works best. Click on OK. So now we've made that selection. The next step is you want to hold down Command key on a Mac, Control key if you're on a PC, and the J, and what it does is it creates copy. So copy from layer. Command J twice, or Control J twice, and we've created two new layers or two new copies of just the selection. Now I'm going to go back to my Move tool, and I'm going to go ahead and hold down the Alt or the Option key and move my little hand here so that's right between these two lines, and that's going to create a clipping mask. So we've got a clipping mask, and we've got these two layer copies. Now, on this top copy, making sure you're selected on the top one, you want to go to Image, actually, you know what? Go to Edit, go to Transform, and then go to Warp. We're going to warp the top copy, and then we're going to do some painting after that. So basically, the general gist is if it's an easy transformation, you just pull this middle piece up like that, and you can see the chin is basically disappearing as it's supposed to. However, because we're using a difficult double chin, it's not working on the edges. So we're going to go ahead and pull the edges up a little bit, bit by bit by bit, and this might have to actually come down a bit. Again, this is not going to be perfect, but that's OK, because I'm going to show you how to get the hard parts done. So this is getting a little wonky here. So let's go ahead and go to about there. Maybe we'll just keep it there, actually, and then we'll just pull this part in. So we're basically just pulling in little bits and pieces. This side here is a little bit trickier, as you can tell. So we're going to have to go with something like that. And then I'm going to hit Enter. And again, this is not perfect. It's not supposed to be perfect. However, we got rid of the main double chin underneath the center. And then we're going to have to paint a little bit on the right side to show you how to get the rest done. OK, good. So we've gone from let's go. Where are we? We're here. This is where we started. Honey Boo Boo. It's Mom. OK, come on, Curtis. We started there. Add that in. Add that in. On our way. The next step is we're going to create a new layer on top of this. And now we're getting out the paintbrush. And we're going to get rid of some of these issues using the paintbrush. Now, when I grab the paintbrush, I'm going to grab a soft round brush. I'm going to go ahead and increase the size. Let's see. Yeah, something like that. We're going to increase the size to a bigger size to start. And then we're going to do some fine tuning at the end. OK, good. So we've got a bigger size brush. And you're going to notice very, very clearly that I have a flow of 10%. This is not standard. You're going to probably be have 100%, 100%. Drop your flow down to 10%. And there's a good reason why, because we're going to be doing some delicate work here. So now I've got the brush selected. I'm going to hold down the Alt or the Option key. And what you can do now, I'm going to work on this side here, is I can just paint over top of the creases here. So I'm going to go ahead and just held down the Alt or the Option key. And then I left click on it. And that selects the color. And I'm going to just slowly paint over this crease. As you can see, I'm going to not try to take too long with this. But I'm just basically trying to smudge in some colors here and get rid of some of this crease. Now, again, this is not supposed to be perfect. I'm trying to do this quickly so you don't hit the Disconnect button. But I'm basically cutting out some of these creases. And I'm going to try and remove some of this coloring that just doesn't look quite right to me. So something like that may be to start. Now I'm going to go ahead and reduce the size of my brush by holding one of the left bracket keys. And I'm going to click on some of this redder color here. And I'm just going to go ahead and add some of that in around the cheek here. So I'm basically just sort of adding, maybe that's a bit too much, adding some color to the cheek just to make it look so that it wasn't like it's not like painted over. We don't want to have that painted look. We want it to have that natural look. And this may be here. This could use a little bit of color in this area, too. So I'm just slowly clicking on this, adding a little bit of pink in just to make it look like it's a natural as opposed to painted. Now you'll see here that this is what we've painted on this top layer. Here's the start. Click, click, click, double chin's gone. That's how you do it inside Photoshop the right way.

UCpJf6LGZ0a4n9Lj4aVt9spg	Matt Christensen: Analytics Beyond Page Views	We now live in a data driven world. It is important to know what your site traffic is trying to tell you. Gone are the days of hit counters. To get the most out of your advertising dollars, you need to ‘track all the things’. In this talk, I will walk through multiple platforms (Google and Adobe) to demonstrate what can be told about the traffic going in and out of your website. Goal setting, campaign tracking, and what various metrics represent will be explained with practical examples. In addition to reporting and tracking, how to implement an analytics platform in WordPress will be discussed. Adobe DTM and Google tag managers will be explained. WPTV link: https://wordpress.tv/2018/09/30/matt-christensen-analytics-beyond-page-views/	[ "Google Analytics" ]	2018-12-25T17:37:53	2024-02-05T08:01:03	1,455	ZqEklsqrT8w	Thanks, guys. So I always preface this. I'm not a public speaker. I tend to get nervous and talk really fast. So feel free to ask questions, slow me down. So a little bit about me. I've been using WordPress on and off since 2004. I needed a personal blog, and it was much easier to use WordPress than to roll my own, which I tend to like to do. I'm a DIY guy. Sort of a career chameleon. I used WordPress because my first professional job, it was a WordPress shop, so I learned WordPress. Then I did Jumla for a while because the next job I had, they were a Jumla shop. So I kind of just learned the environment I'm in. And now I'm currently a corporate digital analyst. I still use WordPress a little bit for microsites for marketing. But really, this talk could be more towards the analytics side of it, but I do have some plugins to show. To relate it back to WordPress. And I still write code every once in a while. I'm actually a little rattled because I just did a 48-hour hackathon that we just got done with. So if I'm stuttering and a little tired, I apologize. So overview. Things have really changed since the 90s. That's when I really started with the web on things that we track and can track. Do you guys remember all these? The, right, I may or may not have had those on my website. It was a big thing, right? One hit counters were on every site, and it was a bragging right. We got 10 million hits. We got 1,000 hits. Whatever it was, you wanted the world to know how popular you were. And really, pageviews don't cut it anymore. Who cares? You could have 11 billion hits. But if no one bought your product, no one signed it for your newsletter, if nobody did anything with your website, then who cares how many people went to it and then immediately left? That number really doesn't mean anything. It's like McDonald's old campaign of, you know, 11 billion burgers sold. We get it. You make burgers, and a lot of people have eaten them. But what are you doing right now? So we'll talk today about ROI, which are an investment, setting up goals, tracking your campaigns, and the sources of that traffic. Because even if you only have 10 people visit your website, if those 10 people spend a million dollars, then who cares that you only had 10? In my description of the talk, I talked about Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics. Does anybody use Adobe Analytics? Really are. All right. Good, good, good. I noticed it's more in the corporate world. Google's free. Adobe's not. So that tends to be. I just wanted to know my audience before I went into too many examples. Is there anyone out here running paid campaigns? Google AdWords, Facebook? OK, good. I'm going to start with just some definitions of terms that I've seen in the corporate world. People get wrong all the time. And it leads to conflict and really trust issues. That's why I run into a lot of someone has access to the platform. They run RUM report. Someone else runs another report. The numbers don't match. And now people are like, well, he's wrong. He's wrong. And that leads to a lot of confusion. So first up is Pageview. And that's what we started with. Those hit counters were. It's literally when the page loads, it's a hit. And it's a page view. Time is not a factor. If you hit refresh, that's a page hit. If you leave the page and immediately come back to it, that's another page hit. There's no timeframe involved. If you go to the page, it's a hit or a page view. But page load time is a factor. And this will come into any of your paid efforts. So if you click on an ad that leads to a page, and they're like, oh, I didn't mean to click on that. And they go back, or they close the browser, then that's not a page hit. The page didn't load, or it didn't get to the analytics code to fire. And it's not a page hit. I've got a story about that here in a little bit. Visit, it's a hit by a page by a single user within a given timeframe. Most platforms Google and Adobe, that timeframe is defaulted to 30 minutes. But you can set it to whatever you like. It ignores the page refresh. It ignores the back and forth. It's one per session. So if I visit your website, I browse 10 pages, and then go back to where I started. That first page is still only going to have one visit from you during that time period. And then unique visitor, exactly what it sounds like. It's the individual user. It is dependent on a timeframe. And it's one hit per user per timeframe. I know that sounds confusing, but you become a unique visitor during that session. You can have multiple sessions. But after the timeframe, after that 30 minute period, now you're unique again. For example, if you ran a site stat report for the month of January, and you had so many unique visitors, and then you compared it to the same report in February, those users can be in both reports because it was separate timeframes. They're unique to the timeframe. Now if you ran a quarterly report, that same user is only counted once. So they can get misleading when you're doing quarterly versus monthly reports. The numbers can change. So a quick example of those three terms is go to a web page. Standard hit one page, like I clicked an ad or something. It's one page view and one visit from one unique user. If I go to that same page twice within a 30 minute window, it's two page views. Your hit counter, your neon green thing on your website will count as two. But you're still just one visit, and you're still just one person. Now if you go to the same page the next day, it will now be a third view, a second visit, because you're outside that 30 minute window. But you're still a unique visitor if it's within the monthly report. Yeah, yeah. Oh, let me see if I can change that on a flyer. No, no, no, that's fine. I'll probably have to do it per slide, right? Unless someone, is that? Well, I mean, well, yeah, just shout out or hopefully I can, my words will, but a quick story on that, the page view is working with a marketing client who was doing paid advertising. And the results weren't that good, to be honest. They spent a lot of money to drive traffic, and traffic wasn't working. So they ran reports. You can see in your ad platform to see how many times an ad was clicked. And they were trying to compare that to visits. So for starters, that's wrong, because visits doesn't count their BPs. So I'm sure you've all had it where on a Spotify, you accidentally click on a ad if you have the free version. And that little x is hard to hit, so you end up hitting the ad. You go to the web page. It happens. Release happens to me. So this is first person experience. So you try to close it. You accidentally click the ad instead. You go to the web page. But before the web page loads, you're like, I didn't mean to click that. So you go back. So it didn't count as a page view visit. It didn't count at all. But when I go back, I'm still trying to close that x, so I hit it again. And then I go back to the web page again. So when you're comparing ad clicks to visits, if I let the page load, it still would be one visit, but it was two ad clicks. So when they're comparing these metrics of how well the paid advertising was doing to a visit, it's not one to one. So the numbers are going to be off anyway. This vendor is trying to say that we had our analytics set up wrong because the numbers weren't matching. So for one, you've got to make sure you're talking apples to apples. Ad clicks usually is two page views, because it's one to one. If I click to add multiple times, I want multiple visits to reflect that. Then on top of that was page load time. They hadn't considered that. So that example I said, I clicked on the ad because I missed the x. Page never fully loaded. The Google Analytics code, Adobe code, never fired. I never got credit for that hit, but the ad got credit. I had to pay for that ad click so the numbers don't match. So really, if you're trying to work on return on investment of ad campaign spend, using that comparison is not going to work because it's not going to be one to one. And this is just an example of a Google Analytics dashboard to show you the visits versus page views and where it matters on what you're reporting on. Most of the time, from my experience, page views is going to be misleading. It's going to be a lot higher. It's probably what you want to report on. It's what your bosses want to see. We got a million hits this month. But it might not actually mean much because that million hits could have been the guy running the report hitting refresh a billion times because he wanted to boost the numbers for his boss. It happens. People inflate numbers all the time. Especially in the corporate world, if you're trying to get budget dollars, you want to prove that your area of the website or your marketing effort did well. So you might try to upsell how big your numbers are. And really, the visits are what you care about because that's closer to a single person. So now we'll talk a little bit about goals. A goal would be what do you want someone to do on your website? That's great that you got those visits, those page views. But did you want them to sign up for your newsletter? Did you want them to put things in their cart? Did you want them to actually purchase something? Is it just content and you're hoping for ad impressions? What is it that your website does and how do we measure that? So you want to track those things. I know my description of the talk is I track all the things. That's not always necessarily true. You want to track the things that matter so you don't waste your time. The newsletter sign up is something that matters to you then that's what you should have some specific tracking on, contact forms, form submissions in general, which could be like support ticket or help or it could be with the e-commerce checkouts or it could just be putting things in the cart like abandonment rates. Put something in the cart and check out. I want to know what those are. And of course downloads if you're, that's important to you. If you have white papers or a product, MP3s or your podcasts, you want to know what the downloads are. And Google Analytics is how you would set that up. So you guys can see this. There's multiple types. So there's a destination, which I like, which would be like a thank you page. So you have a contact form. Generally those are the form itself. You fill it out, you pass the validation and you'll go to a thank you for submitting your form. We'll get back to you soon or thank you for your request. Whatever it may be, but there is a specific URL that is the response to submitting the form. And you can set up a goal to read the traffic from that page. Or you can do depending on what you're trying to track, a duration. You might, for like ad impressions or a blog, you might say, my goal is to have them on the site for five minutes, 10 minutes, an hour. Whatever it may be. This one's interesting. It doesn't immediately sound like something that would be useful. Pages per session. But think of that more of a customer journey. For example, an online quote. I work with auto quotes. It's a multi-step process. I need to know your accident history. I need to know make a model. I need to know driver's license info, personal info. It could be five or six steps. So your goal could be I want to track their journey through that step. I could create separate goals for each sort of bucket of that step and then see where people are falling off as they go through. But if I just had the end result of getting a quote, that won't tell the whole story. But that might be all that you care about. So you need to figure out what your goals are before you put a plan in place. And then another straightforward one is an event. You can set event code to say on a button click, like check out. I click check out. I can track that as my goal. How many checkouts did I get? How many downloads did I get when I click the download button? Campaign tracking. So this would be when you run a paid search or paid campaign of any kind. It could be on Facebook, Instagram, traditional paid search with Google ads. Generally, you're gonna want to know what's working so you need to track those. And those platforms generally give you some sort of a campaign ID, a CID, a tracking code of some sort. And we can track those. We'll talk about this first. So when you track those, there's two things you're looking for, attribution and ROI. ROI meaning simply a return on investment. You spent some money on ads. What did you get for it? Hopefully you got more than you put in. So you spent a thousand bucks. Hopefully you made a thousand bucks or the equivalent. It's not always about money. And attribution is what is the distribution of that spend to the marketing efforts? So you can look at the traffic that went to your website and say, was it Facebook that did the heavy lifting? Was it Google ads that did the heavy lifting? Was it just organic search? Do we have good SEO and keywords? And maybe we can roll back our spending because our natural campaigns are working just as good. And then you're gonna want to look to optimize those. So once you have your attribution and ROI in place, we'll show an example of how you can check that, then want to start optimizing. So if Facebook was doing better than Google, then maybe shift your advertising dollars. We're gonna, this next month, we're gonna put more money into Facebook than Google and see how it goes. Continuously checking, continuously optimizing. Then even within, say Google ads, you've got an multiple ads where the AB testing comes in where you have dogs versus cats. You got an ad with a cat in it, ad with a dog in it, and then you just check which one drove more traffic. Of course, bad example, it would be the cats. So here's an example inside Google Analytics. This is your dashboard. Outside of WordPress, this is straight in Google's website. And we've got channels here. So you can see, this is my personal website. I don't have any paid action going on right now. So there's just direct and organic. Direct being people typed in my christened.net, they typed it in directly. Organic is they used a search engine of some sort, but I didn't pay them to do that. They didn't click on an ad. They clicked on me from a search result. And then referral is from some other website. So possibly the Workamp Peoria's website that had a link, that's where a couple of those could have came from. But you can use this then to track where that traffic's coming from and start optimizing them. If your organic is at the top, then keep up with your SEO, maybe roll back and save some money on your advertising dollars. And I will show an Adobe version. So in Adobe, a little bit different interface. So just a little bit different view of breakdown of channels that are working. So we had some Hulu ads, just a regular blog which would be organic. Instagram, you can see here we have different marketing campaigns going on and we can at a glance see which one's doing better. TDD, just so you guys know it's a big display platform so you can go to them and say I've got this ad and they will find websites to display it. But you guys are more likely doing possibly YouTube, Facebook, the big social ones. And you can quickly just see visits versus unique visitors. And what this will tell you is how many people are coming back, how many multiple ad clicks are you getting from the same person? And that could be interesting to know in advertising we talk about how many touches does it take. So I might have to show the same person, five ads, seven ads, 10 ads before I get them to buy. And the difference between unique visitors and visits will start to tell you that picture. So you can get an average of how much I need to advertise to someone to get them into the funnel. All right, so how do you get this, how do you get analytics running? So is anyone not using analytics at all? I'm not checking it. No, that's fine. So for most of you this will probably be a review but there's plugins that do it for you. Here's a couple of my favorites. I'm currently using this middle one, just Google Analytics by Share This. It is very basic and it literally just puts your Google tracking code where it needs to go. There's no bells and whistles. It just gets your code on the site so you don't have to. This top one that I'm going to start, I'm gonna be switching to, allows you to do a lot of that, the goal setting and campaign tracking from within the plugin. So you don't have to do that yourself because I can kind of be that form I showed with the, whether it's a duration, whether it's a destination that can get kind of confusing and this plugin, highly rated plugin, will help you with that. I've tested that a little bit but I haven't implemented it. But again, it's WordPress and it's a plugin. You click it, you install it, you put in your Google ID and you're good to go. And this one down here is specifically for events which might be good for your goal tracking if you have downloads on the page or you have one button goals. Clicking for a sign up, contact form, something where it's not a multi-step process, it's a single event as your goal. For Adobe, I'm glad not many of you use it in here, you're kind of on your own. There is, I saw my check, there was a single WordPress plugin for Adobe and it hadn't touched them like five years. So you're kind of on your own. Similar setup of just adding your tracking code. You can do it without a plugin, don't use a plugin. The problem with not using a plugin is switching themes. If you're never ever going to switch a theme and it's never going to be updated, okay, put your own code in there. But that's not gonna happen. It's hard to maintain, switch between themes, especially if you're an organization that has multiple people, you're not a one man shop. Somebody can make a change to that theme without telling you. And then I see, you know, your tracking goes away and you have no idea why. But if you were going to do it yourself, you'd edit within the theme and the theme's header and you'd put it right below the opening body tag. So there's an example of blurred out, but there's Google tracking code. It's a snippet you get from inside the tool and you just drop it in in the body tag. But again, the problem with this is that's in a theme in your website using WordPress's editor, which is one, it's dangerous to use that editor. It's easy to mess something up. And if you ever change themes, that code goes with it. Updates of the theme maker makes a change to that header file and it gets overwritten, the tracking's gone again. So it's much easier to use one of the highly rated simple WordPress Google plugins. Yeah, yeah. What's that? It's fine, I tend to go the free route. Like they have the pro version. Their free version is just as good as any of the others. It's essentially you put the tag in and it gives you the basic tracking. The pro version, it looks real slick, but it depends on how much money you wanna spend. I've not used the pro version, I've not opted to pay for it, but it looks like it would be just fine. Now, just in general with paying for plugins that give you the added functionality, I only stay away from that because you can get all that data from the platform itself. You could log into Google Analytics on Google's website and see all those dashboards and numbers and it's convenient to see them inside your WordPress dashboard, but is that convenience worth the price of a premium plugin? In my opinion, it's not, but that's me personally. For us? Nope, that's just what I personally have experience with. Quick bonus topic, the Chrome extension. So you wanna check if your code worked. There is a Chrome extension officially by Google, so it's legit, you don't have to worry about it, called Tag Assist, literally even by Google. Let's go to the Google Chrome web store, look for it, install it, and it looks like this. So it will, you'll have a little icon, I guess my screenshot isn't very good, but there'll be an icon you click like all the Chrome extensions and it drops down this assistant tool that will look at the page. I probably should have blurred that out, but it will show you that your tag is there and give you green, red, it'll tell you if it's working right, in my case, it was a single page, page view request was hit, you can drop down where to optimize, if it was red, it would give you suggestions on what you might have done wrong. There's a typo in it, code doesn't complete, code didn't fire, it will tell you what to do to go about fixing it. That's all I have for today. There's my contact info, I highlighted the R in my name because there's another Matthew without the R, Christians at gmail.com, who I've actually talked to because he gets my emails sometimes. And I don't know how he figured out it was me, I must have had it in a footer or somebody put it, the email in the footer, I don't know, he somehow figured out that the emails he was getting were meant for me. So I like to highlight that because it is, it is confusing. And Twitter and Instagram, and feel free to contact me, I'm a data nerd, I love this stuff, so feel free to contact me with any questions. Yeah, go ahead, oops. I forgot, there was one of its tags that you had to, but then when I put it in there, and I used the flipping for that, it was conflicting with the Yoast phone because Yoast has their own analytics in there to show certain effects to. Yeah, if you're using Yoast, yeah, that definitely. One way that we know her, should I just use Google or should I just use Yoast? I would use Yoast only because you probably have Yoast on your site for a reason, so you're doing other things with it. So yeah, I would keep them bundled and you don't want too many plugins anyway, you don't want that bloat, so since Yoast can do it, just I would stick with Yoast because you'll get the SEO benefit. All right, thanks guys.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqEklsqrT8w", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCH_hHwkXLnSvpBFG2fd12yA	Santa Cruz Metro Transit District 9/28/18		[ "CTV", "Santa", "Cruz", "County", "Community", "Television", "SantaCruzTV", "CTVSantaCruz", "Video", "Nonprofit", "Organization", "Media", "Film", "Access", "Public", "Art", "SantaCruz", "Santa Cruz", "SC", "California", "West Coast" ]	2018-10-03T01:31:36	2024-02-05T07:35:25	6,541	Zq3yn8ITodw	The 28th 2018 meeting of the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District order. We're in the Santa Cruz City Council chamber. We appreciate their hosting us here today. Clerk, please call the roll. Here. Thank you, Director McHale. Dr. McPherson. Here. Dr. Wachmalkin. Here. Thank you. Thank you. We will have some announcements with Carlos Landeverre to announce his Spanish language interpretation. If you would please just let the public know in Spanish. Pleasure, good morning. Buenos dias, directors. Carlos Landeverre, your interpreter. Para las personas que prefieren español, voy a estar en la parte de atrás. Thank you. Gracias. And I want to mention that today's meeting is being broadcast by Community Television of Santa Cruz County. First of all, item number four, any comments from directors? Comments, director, yes, Ms. Matt. I'll just mention that John Leopold and I, were there any others, were at a press conference yesterday on the no one six campaign. Okay. That was well attended by all the press. And where was it? What happened over in Live Oca by the Sheriff's Center, the speakers included the two of us, Supervisor Friend, Jim Hart, Cody Muley representing the Fire Fires Association, Cesar Lara, from the Labor Council, that was somewhere in front of the engineers. OE3, maybe construction labor. I know that there are many in the healthcare community. Did you mention, I don't know if you mentioned that they're concerned, you know, about access to medical care. The Sheriff, we don't have the right transportation network to get people in need. Yeah, the Sheriff made sense, made it clear that having money for road repair is actually a public safety issue. Yes. And I thought it came across very well. And, you know, the, right now we're, we should be, feel good that the last poll said 52% no, 39% yes. And so that's the right direction, but there's a lot more work to do. All right, we cannot give up and people should vote no on Prop 6. I've been personally, and I think many of you have, been going to various meetings of community groups and just informing them of that, that situation. It would mean about almost $2.5 million loss for this transit district to begin with. And then it just, I think for the whole county, it gets into double that at least and more. Way more, yeah, 15 million something, yeah, triple problem. I will mention also, Deanna Sessoms from League of California Cities was the coordinator with the statewide campaign people. And we will have yard signs, I think maybe even today for Santa Cruz County. So I will, from my own personal email, let people know where to get those. And the California State Association of Counties, which I'm a member of is also come out strongly opposed to that. And it was a strong supporter of Senate Bill 1 in the first place. So any other comments from members? Thank you for, you were in the press conference. Yeah, it's such a tragedy for this district if Prop 6 passes, we would be hurting badly. We'd be cutting routes again. I mean, that's the reality here. And jobs. Okay, we will move now to oral communications. We've heard any other different comments on a different subject from the board members? Comments from the public, any comments from the public on items that are not on the agenda? Seeing none. We have any written communications from the MAC? Okay, labor organization communications. Any comments from labor? Is she coming up? All right, moving right along. Yes. No, don't wake up. No, I want to mention that Director Rothwell is just different commission. Okay, we will have some, we'll go to the consent agenda. It might be, are there any questions on the consent agenda? It might be that, I think 9.8, we might cover in the CEO report because I think there are some issues about some one time reserve money and so forth that I think should be clarified or explained further. So I'm going to couple 9.8 with the CEO oral report, so 12.1. Any other member who'd like to pull an item? You can note there's new material on 9.5 to my grant. Yes, okay. I believe that all of the packets distributed were complete, but just in case, there they are. Thank you. Okay, very good. Thank you for that explanation. Okay, I'll have a motion to- Motion to approve the consent, unless anybody in the public has a comment. Excuse me, yes. Anybody in the public have a comment on the consent agenda? We'll approve all the consent agenda. I'll second it. All those as amended to have 9.8 become 12.1. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Passes unanimously. Now we have the good times here. The presentation of Employee Longevity Awards for Brian Lamb, Facilities Maintenance Worker for 10 years. Is Brian here? No? Okay, Dan Stevenson, Bus Operator for 20 years. All right, please. Thanks. Vice-Chair Bartorff will present you with the certificate. I'd like to thank you for, let's see, that's 20 years of service as a bus operator. Thank you very much. I'd like to have you make, if you wish, make a few comments. Well, I just really appreciate this. It's going to be a great reminder for me I'm going to put on my wall in my room to remind me to put in my dentures, grab my toupee and cane, and take my Viagra. So, I'm not as old as some of the people getting the Longevity Award today, but I'm sure I don't look as good as some of these guys that have been around for 30 years like Angel. I mean, if I can be looking that good at that point and not have to come in here with my walker, that'd be great. But I don't think I'm going to last 30 years, but thank you for this. Thank you for your great service for 20 years. Thank you. Angel J. Valdez, bus operator 30 years, excuse me, is Angel here? No, he's not here. Oh, he's tired. You OK? He's tired, yeah. OK, now we have a presentation of employee retirement awards. They're not here either. I would like to just mention then, so Leticia Calajos? Calajos? Callejas. Callejas. Callejas. Callejas. 18 years, Ellen Peterson, benefits administrator for 14 years. It's a long period of service for our employees, and we really appreciate. They've had a lot to deal with in these last few years, as we all know. And we really appreciate their efforts throughout the year. So thank you to them. I'll move the resolutions that recognize their service to the district. Second. Move to seconded. All those favor? Aye. Opposed? So ordered. Now we'll go to the CEO's oral report, Alex Clifford, our general manager. Mr. Chair, directors? Yes, several items I'd like to cover with you today. In front of you, you have a copy of a letter. Actually, these are comments that are being made on my behalf to the California Air Resources Board today in their public hearing on the new regulation that they're proposing. We've talked about that over the last nearly a year, and I've given you regular reports on that. So the comments generally reflect the same kinds of topics that we had concerns about. We also had coverage this week on KSBW. They interviewed me and they interviewed Carl Sidoric, CEO of Monterey Salinas Transit, MST South of us. Unfortunately, their headline sort of makes it sound like MST and Metro are against the regulation, which is not true. And we were very clear with them that it's not about the regulation. We're not against the regulation. There are components of the regulation that we're working hard to change because we're dealing with public funds here. And we need to make sure that this regulation recognizes that this technology is not perfected. And unfortunately, today, the California Air Resources Board staff and the environmentalists that are advocates for the staff version of this believe that this technology has been perfected at transit properties like Foothill Transit down south and San Joaquin Transit and they think that it's ready to launch full scale and it's not. In particular, the range of these buses are about 120 to 150 miles. We need to be able to charge a bus all night, put it out on runs that are out there for as many as 300 miles. And so what that tells you is it's going to take some time for battery energy technology to continue to evolve and it's evolving. But it's going to take some time for it to get to the place where we need it to be. And then there's another term that we've coined which is end of life. So batteries that can do a certain range when they are delivered new at end of life. As you approach 12 years of life of a bus have what we call battery degradation so they have less range in them. And so the term we use is we need 300 miles end of life. So our caution to the California Air Resources Board is slow down on the front end of this. We have no issues with being fully zero emission by 2040. As you know, you've taken a position. Actually, you took a position in May of 2017, nearly seven months in advance of the draft regulation. You took a position saying that you wanted to set a goal of being fully electric by 2040. As a matter of fact, in 2016, again, at least a year, year and a half in advance of that regulation, you allowed us to apply for grants. We received a low no grant from the federal government to buy three electric over the road coaches. And then in the year that followed, we received a number of grants that we cobbled together to purchase four electric proterra buses. We're still working on the specification of that and that's getting close. But this agency has shown the governor and the California Air Resources Board that it is interested. It is on board of electric buses, but we need to take it a little slow in the beginning. What our goal is per one of your previous actions also is that we want to get our four buses and then our other three for a total of seven here so that we can learn about it. They're not gonna do 300 miles. They're gonna have to be programmed on routes of 150 miles or less. But we have a lot of learning to do. Our bus operators have to learn how to use electric buses. Because depending on how heavy footed you are, you can use up the energy quicker. And our mechanics have to be trained on how to maintain a whole different propulsion technology and we have to build the electric infrastructure. So there's a lot for us to learn. We're a small property, we're dealing with the public funds and we just don't wanna make a mistake where we buy equipment that we're stuck with for 12, 14 or more years and it just won't do the job for us. So that's really where the focus of it is. We've also told CARB numerous times that the heavy vehicle incentive program HVIP, which provides up to $165,000 to offset the difference in costs between conventional technology and electric technology. We've said that you need to make that money available all the way through the program, not just for what they call early adopters. And they're trying to go in a direction that if you wait to buy buses in the year in which the mandate requires you to do it, you don't get the incentive. Well, that's just shooting yourself in the foot. And so we've been very clear about that. Those comments are being made on our behalf today. And some other points that are in there. You can read that, but they're consistent with our previous position. I'll know more later today about what kind of comments were made. The regulation now probably won't be finalized until January. They've now moved it out to January. Is there anything that we could do to explain our caution? I mean, we're at the front of the line in this. And I don't know if that would help and maybe do it in conjunction with Monterey. Well, I think we may probably should do it separately. We've already made our statement. We want to do this, but we want to be ready and do it correctly. We have, and you've had me at the table in Sacramento, and if not actually physically there on the conference calls for many months with Jack Katowski and his staff and in partnership with the CTA, the California Transit Association, really participating in a statewide effort to try to get these same themes incorporated into their program. The CARP staff sort of pats themselves on the back as saying this process worked. We made some changes to the regulation and we're ready to move on. Our position really is, what's worked is you've made some changes to some small parts of this, but there's some big parts that they haven't moved on that still need to be fixed and that's where our position has been. Director, I'd like to mention that Director Hagan is here. Director Rockin. Can you give us some idea of how they respond when you tell them about our actual real world experience with these buses? I mean, they're dealing with an abstract theory about a goal we all would love to share, but I mean, so when you tell them we got these buses, we did this, this is what happened, what did the staff of the airport say back to you? Well, I have had that conversation with them in early meetings. I was very sort of direct about asking if any of the CARP staff had ever worked at a transit property, ever had to make a budget, dealt with public funds running public transit, and the answer was no. They couldn't identify anybody associated with this process of developing this regulation who had real world experience. And that's really where I was going with the point is you should trust these many, many properties across the state who have to run a service, a heavily subsidized service, and that if we make mistakes, those dollars that we waste because mistakes are made in this electric integration will impact our customers in the way of not being able to buy new equipment on schedule and having to make budget reductions, which impact the poorest of the poor, the transit dependent. And we've tried to make that point over and over, I even close in this letter, making that point again, be careful what you impose upon us in this unfunded mandate. I don't doubt that you made the case as well as it could be made. That's not my comment. Is it just that they're getting such a sense that the goal is so important if they just press hard enough, somebody somewhere will respond, like we won't buy the bus, and then the bus companies will make their batteries better faster because of their pressure, or maybe you don't know the answer to this question, but what drives ignoring obvious evidence that there's an issue that they need to address? Yeah, well, this comes down from the governor. This has been the governor's goal. And so, carb is really doing what the governor would like to have done, fulfilling his mission of being fully electric by 2040. You just made an excellent point, which I've said to them time and time again. We need to be careful to force the original equipment manufacturers, the Proteros, the BYDs, and others, to continue to be incentivized to innovate. To spend the R&D money to improve battery energy technology, thereby improving range. When you hand them through this regulation on a gold platter, thousands of buses that must mandatorily be purchased in the coming years, what incentive do they have to continue to innovate? That's a real concern. It's not an easy question to answer. What are they thinking? Any other questions from the board? Yeah, I mean, yes, so moving on. So we've sent you, and we'll send you again, information about the Transit Board Member's Government Workshop, Governance Workshop in Washington, DC. APTA really screwed this up. They know they have. This is sort of one and done, and they'll figure it out different next year. But for now, it's happening right the week after Thanksgiving. It's a really terrible time. But if I think Mr. Dutro has indicated he would like to go, and if others would like to go, please let me know. It is a good opportunity. They're trying something new where the CEOs and the board members are there at the same time. There'll be sessions when we're together and sessions when we're not. And then there'll be some opportunity to do some lobbying on the hill if anybody's there the week after Thanksgiving. But it should be a decent session. I'm gonna go, and if you'd like to go, let me know. That's the Monday. We would fly out the Monday after Thanksgiving, and I think that's the 26th. We would be in sessions Tuesday, Wednesday. You would fly home Thursday. I have to stay for another meeting on Friday and then fly home Friday. So let me know, we'll send that out again. It's a really good opportunity to get ideas, too, to bring back, so. Yeah, it really is. It's a link to that. Mr. Lee, for this panel. I wish I would have known. I bought tickets last week that I'm returning from the east coast on Monday after Thanksgiving. I don't know whether I can change it, but it might be interesting to think that I can pull that off. Yeah, maybe we could work something out. I think we have CSEC, though, the week after Thanksgiving. That's right, in Monterey. Yeah. Okay, maybe we can work something out. And Gina's gonna go because they're gonna really have a focus on software that you can use for your board package. I know some cities like Watsonville and I think even the county are using new software packages. We still do it the old fashioned way. So we need to look at some of those concepts. She's gonna investigate that as a part of this. Next, going on to 908. Mr. Chair, you asked that that be combined with my comments. 908, I mistakenly put that on Consent Calendar. It has a really good part of it that we sort of need to celebrate. Part of it is to close out last year through, last fiscal year through June. And to show you what the outcome was. But a part of that closeout is that we had over $3 million in carryover. Not only did we manage the business well, unfortunately, we had a lot of vacancies that helped contribute to that. We don't ever want to bank on vacancies. But if you go to page 908, pages 10 and 11, I can just point you to the good news. So 908 pages 10 and 11. And what you'll see on 90810 is a chart that shows the carryover from last year of $3.951 million. And the really good news is, last year, you directed us when we closed out the budget. You said, gee, we have this deficiency across the various reserves pots. Cash flow reserves, workers comp, liability, and then your two months of operating expense reserve pot. And you said to staff, you said, come back and tell us how we're going to fill those pots. Because that's important to have appropriate reserves. We came back and we gave you a five year plan on how we were going to do that. And the good news is, because of this one year of carryover, we were able to fill all those pots in the one year. So unless you direct us to do something different, your reserve pots are now all full to 100% of board authorized levels. And we have $640,000 that we can put into the capital program to take care of capital needs, maybe use it as a local match for a grant. So really good news, and I regret putting that on the consent calendar. So I wanted to point out that things were really well. It's something with great needs everywhere. It's sometimes difficult to say why we need these reserves for emergencies or matching grants of some type or another. It's critical that we build that up as we have, I should say, in the county government as well. And I think the city could say the same, but it's really critical, Mr. Leopold. Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that you brought this to the public's attention because it was not that long ago that we sat at these very same seats wondering over an eight month process or a six month process looking at our financial situation and looking at a lot of negative numbers in the buckets. I remember the screenshot of all the buckets and they looked pretty low. I remember that, and because of work by our staff, support from the public both through the Cabrillo vote by the UCSC, by the passage of Measure D and the passage of SB1, those pieces combined have allowed us to be in this place where we're able to fill these buckets and continue to move forward in strengthening the financial foundation of Metro. So it's a real credit to the staff and everybody involved in terms of watching their cost, it's a credit to the public as well. And we should herald this because just a few years ago, it seemed insurmountable. It was a huge challenge. So this is a great day to celebrate. I might just add too that if Prop 6 passes, this could change very quickly too. So this is another one of those examples of how important it is to us. This is the most recent poll. He mentioned that 5239 was in the traffic. Any other comments? Go ahead. With this item, I do want to acknowledge our finance team, Debbie and Angela, and of course, the team that works for them. They have been vigilant in keeping this on the front burner. I mean, this is a big issue for stability of our foundation, our financial foundation. So credit, where credit is due, our finance team is fabulous. Moving on to just, oh yeah, that's right. We need a motion on the 908 if we are so moved. Second the motion. I don't know if we should probably get the motion. We should, any comments from the public? Okay, we'll move back to the board for the call for the vote. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? So ordered unanimously. Okay. Moving on, I do not have any promotions or new hires to announce other than we do have a new bus operator class starting on the 9th. That's six fixed route operators. The challenge is that we need more. We're just not getting enough qualified applications. We're getting a decent pool of applicants, but they're just not, when narrowed down, they're just not qualified. And then once you get through the interview process, we had six. We need more than that because of retirees, vacancies. And we're going to make another push so that we can do another class on the heels of this class. It's unfortunate, but we're trying hard. It's just been very difficult to recruit for positions. And it's not just there. We're having a tough time recruiting for custodians. Difficult time recruiting for vehicle service workers. So we're trying, HR is just, it's mind boggling. And HR is trying everything they can. They're trying innovative approaches, creative approaches, even posting job specs in laundry mats. I mean, we're trying different ways to get to people, to let them know that we have vacancies. And then we made a full court press at the fair recently, letting people know that we had vacancies and encouraging them to fill out applications. Good effort. Yes. Director Kaufman-Gomez. Sorry, can I ask on that effort, are you doing the Cabrillo College? Are you doing anything with a vocational, you know, the Watsonville Center who's County Adult Ed? Are we doing any outreach on that part where they're, you know, getting the basic skills together? Maybe there will be some that get out of the basic skills that would have an interest in some of these openings? We do the job fairs. And I don't know if we're doing, Don, do you know if we're doing anything with Cabrillo? Yeah, the Watsonville Adult Care and, you know, the Watsonville Center Crew's Adult Education. So that would be Dr. Billisage is the director for that program and may have some resources there. And the CET, there's a few other programs along that line that should be investigated because those are some of them getting their skills together and maybe they would fit some of the job criteria or get trained so that they can meet some of the job criteria. Any advice any of the directors have, please let us know because we want to try everything. And we're, we are also focusing on the veteran angle too. Dr. Chase? I was just going to add to that the County Office of Education operates the formerly known as regional occupational program now known as career technical education. And so that's county wide. And they probably have folks that they could send your way or do the same type of thing of training for specific skills. I appreciate that advice. And just, you know that this is consoling but in discussing this with colleagues at the recent APTA conference last week, it is a topic talked about nationwide transit properties across the nation in healthy cities and not so healthy cities are all struggling trying to recruit. So it's a challenge. Director Matthews. Yeah, RPD does a hiring bonus for referrals. Employees who refer someone who then is hired and stays is two part. I mean, I don't know if you've ever thought of that too. If it's that critical. Chat about that too, we'll add that to the list. We'll talk about anything you can help us with. Talk to the HR people, it's been helpful. Okay, great. Moving on to bus and bus facilities grant, you might recall last year, we received an award of about $2 million in the bus and bus facilities grant program. And the next round, of course we apply every year we did not get a grant this year. It was just announced this week who received grants. California actually did a little better. I'm changing my perspective. I thought the president was out to get California last year, but this year he was actually fairly generous to California. So I take back all those bad things I said. It's because he set up. Maybe he wasn't paying attention. I strayed into politics, didn't I? Comments are appreciated. So. Moving right along. Moving along. So I did have the opportunity to query the acting FTA administrator in Nashville about this topic, because the FTA has been sending mixed messages. The message a couple of years ago was that they want everything scalable. And scalable meant that if you need, in our case, 60 buses, and don't ask for 60 buses in one year. Tell us how you can scale it over multiple years and bring in the local match and get the job done. And that's been our approach, and we've had pretty good success. But their model in the last year or so has changed now. So now scalable for them means on an annual basis when you submit a grant, tell us if you're gonna submit for 10, tell us what's the minimum that you're willing to receive. Well, that's a little akin to negotiating against yourself, right? I walk on to a car lot. I want to buy a $15,000 car. I offer you 10, but then in the next sentence, I say, but I'll pay you 13. That's what they're asking us to do is to negotiate against ourself. We'll take anything we can get. But the reality is why ask for eight when they're probably gonna give us the low end and that's what they did last year. The other thing I queried the administrator on is the mixed message that's not in the statute, but the mixed message the FTA has been saying about if you receive a grant one year, you won't get it the next year. And so we and really entire APTA have been concerned about this because we've heard that that's what they're doing. And she was very direct. She said, look, here's how it works. If you got a LONO grant last year, you're not gonna get a LONO grant or a bus and bus facilities grant this year. If you got a bus and bus facilities grant last year, you may not get one this year if the program is oversubscribed. Well, guess what? The program is always oversubscribed by at least 10 fold. And so even though we wrote a really fabulous grant with an even larger overmatch, local overmatch than we did in prior years, we went up to I think 60 or 70% local match this time. It should have been one that they would salivate over, but because it's oversubscribed, we got one last year, we didn't get one this year. So we'll try again next year. I have a question. We had any luck with kind of converting the grant that we have for the over the Santa Cruz route to different buses? How's that conversation going? Yeah, so that went really well. So board members that joined us last year talked to the FTA about that. We came back, we negotiated with region nine local FTA. We have a verbal agreement. We're waiting on that happening in writing, but we have a verbal agreement that they will go with our plan, which is we get to keep the money they restrict our drawdown on the money. They'll only let us use a portion of it to build the electric charging infrastructure at our bus yard. The rest of it for the purchase of buses, they'll let us keep on hold until more manufacturers jump into the market. So we think within two years BYD, not, I'm sorry, BYD is already there. MCI and Van Hool are gonna produce zero emission over the road coaches, at which time the FTA said they'll allow us to go out for bid and we'll try again. So basically, we can't get the CNG buses, we only can do the, so they're letting us put the money on hold rather than transferred over to a different type of bus. Correct, they liked our plan B and not our plan A. Okay, they didn't like our plan A, okay. I was hearing plan B right now. I was like, well, they'll have a plan A. That's exactly it. So I'll put it in. So I'll feel more comfortable when I see that in writing, but that's what they have given us verbally. The most important thing is $3.8 million at this point is still ours. I'll keep you informed when I get that in writing. Okay, thank you, okay. And then last, at your diocese, you have kind of a neat little article that Transit Talent did, which is cool. So always nice to get a little bit of recognition. All right, thank you. That concludes my remarks. Other questions from the board? Okay, we will move to item number 13, which we have discussed briefly, an update on educating the public about the benefits of Senate Bill 1 or the tragedy of Proposition 6. I don't know how you want to put this, but Barrow Emerson is unable to be here today because of a family situation. Would you like to report on that? Yes, Mr. Chair, directors, this is just an opportunity that we are placing on your agenda for yet another month after this before the November election for you to educate the public on what the consequences are if Proposition 6 passes. And as we've talked about before, and as the Chair just indicated, it's $2.4 million minimum to us. There would be other competitive money, which would probably likely take it well over $3 million that will be lost if Proposition passes. What is that money used for today? Well, that money helps you commit $3 million a year to our capital program so that we can match state and federal grants and start attacking aggressively our backlog to replace 62 buses. And we'll talk about that in a moment. It also is used to support the existing services we have out there. So if it were to pass, you'll have to make some tough decisions about the capital program and the service we provide on the street. And I think as Director Dutra mentioned earlier, the service reductions can lead to unfortunately layoffs and that's not a good thing. So this is important to us. It will impact if it passes, it will impact the transit dependent, the poorest of the poor. This is a program that really helps us to provide the service that we provide, including replacing buses that we desperately need to replace so that our service is dependable and we do what we need to do to get people to work, to the doctor's appointments and other types of personal events. Questions from the Board? Director Ruckin. I guess I didn't want it to pass without some notice that you talked about us making a 70% match on our, in order to get federal grants. You know, for the whole history of this district, and I'm here for a lot of it, we got, you know, basically we put 20% in and got 80% from the federal government. And I don't wanna blame this one on the president actually. I think this is a question for Congress to let this stuff slide to the point. So you're 10 times over subscribed in the applications and you're forced to, instead of putting the bid in, which everybody did in the whole country, there was very little over matching. I think we're one of the first districts to even try over matching. And everybody, basically the federal government paid for 80% of the capital cost. They got out of the operation. They used to be in operations, funding that. They got out of that, it was just gonna be capital and mainly for us, that's buses, other things as well, but mainly buses. And they funded 80% of the cost of a new bus. Now they turned down an application to fund 30% of a new bus. So the cost to the local public who are paying taxes and so forth to support the public transit system really means the federal government's walking away from the support of transit almost completely. And Congress has to get the message somehow that this really matters to people in the United States that public transit's a key institution for even suburban areas. It used to be an urban issue only for bus systems, but suburban areas, small communities like Santa Cruz. And so it's really tragic that they're sort of walking away from this and we just have to increase the pressure on people in Congress to take this much more seriously. That just represents a loss of millions and millions of dollars to us. I mean, I started getting nervous, what if they give us all our grants at 30, where they're only giving us 30% of the cost of a bus? How will that affect in the long run our notion that $3 million a year will get us out of this problem at least eventually? That starts to look questionable too. What happens when people overmatch us? If everybody says they'll pay 70% of the cost of a bus, somebody's gonna offer 75 to eventually be getting $10 on a bus from the feds, it's just ridiculous. Well, that's true and one of our concerns is that the large monster properties, Golden Gate, San Francisco Munis, LAMTA have those kinds of resources. I mean, look at LAMTA, they have three or four sales tax initiatives and they're building, building, building, they have those kinds of resources that we don't have. I would just offer, Mike, that our next trip is just around the corner to DC, right? Early next year, April-ish, probably. It's time to talk about reauthorization already. And I think that's where we will focus is that it needs to not only be plused up as it has been last year and maybe this year, but they need to work from the new plus-up foundation to add additional dollars in the program. Now, hand-in-hand with that, we're nearing a potential interesting controversy with the existing authorization because even though it was fairly decent, the last year to year and a half of it was not funded, they did not identify funding sources. So it's gonna be an interesting year coming up to do that, and at the same time, talk about reauthorization. They told us to come back and ask next year, well, we will. Yeah, I think we slid into 14 maybe, but back on the Prop 6. One of the calls at the press conference yesterday was for individual agencies to get letters to the editor and so forth. So I think it'd be appropriate if someone from representing Metro put in a letter to the editor. I don't know, Mike or Bruce, if anyone wants to take that on. Maybe it'd be good if we had representatives from each end of the county or somebody to sign that. Post-sign it. Yeah, I think that would be a major op-ed, yeah. Okay. You wanna take that one on? I'll take that on, I'll take responsibility for that. Mr. Chair, I would also point out, I think at your diocese, you have a copy of the recent headways and we cleared this through Legal so that we were educating the public about the consequences of Prop 6, but this was our last effort before the election to really help people understand what it does for us. And we did reference the impact on Metro at the press conference too. I don't know if you saw the comments. Thank you. Yeah. Any comments, any other comments from the board? Any comments from the public on any of these issues? Kay, I will... Oh, the board is coming up. Oh, excuse me. Sorry, I'd never wanna miss you or see your comments, so thank you. Good morning, Board of Directors You know, we're doing great efforts, but I think we need to do more as a Metro because we were at the fair and we're driving these buses and we have a little sticker that nobody could see. And it's cognizant of us, even in education that we could probably blow that up. Everybody's doing it because having a little small sticker, you can't see it. The sticker is the one that says he is purchased with SB1 funds, yeah. Thank you. Oh, and while you're here. I know you and all the other bargaining units have a very active communication network with your members. And so if you can push out the No On 6 message. Oh yeah, we're doing it. We're doing it hardly, just to our members, but also to the family members and everybody. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Any other comments from the board? Hey, we'll move on to, I remember 14, some with these. We'll go ahead. Mr. Chair, do you want to do, or Barrow's not here. Is Ciro, are you going to? Ciro's not here. Yes. Let's see. I guess I put that. Fast meeting. I know that there's a color in the packet of stuff on the table. There's a color version of the table that goes with this item that might find easier to read. Good morning, Mr. Chair, directors. I'm here to try to explain a little bit about what's going on with this particular long range bus replacement plan. And essentially at the request of the CEO staff engaged in a year long development of this particular piece of staff report, it consists of a lot more information. But I'll give you the overview of it. And it's based on addressing our aging fleet. It's been referred to as the 62 bus replacement plan. So the team basically consisted of about six individuals. It was Ms. Erin Alvey, our Pursuing Agent, Barrow Emerson planning, Eddie Benson, our fleet manager, Freddie Rocha, our Assistant Maintenance Manager, Antonio Castillo, Maintenance Supervisor. We were all engaged in this whole process. So what we have before you, basically, is a strategic approach toward achieving a reduction in the number of age buses in Metro's fleet. The strategy overall includes new bus and slightly used bus purchases, leased to purchase programs, existing fleet bus refurbishing, which will extend the life of the buses. Hopefully by year 2022, it's anticipated that the approach will result in a balance of older and newer buses. Excuse me. I don't know if we can put this up on the screen. It could be somewhat understandable, but I think it kind of tells how we're going to go about it. Thanks. Music to our ears. That's what you asked for. Story to it. 1481. This will mention the replacement needs, decommissions, refurbishment, bus replacements, lease buses, replacement and refurbishments due. Here's the chart. Now we can flip it. Yeah, I know. Just read it as a vertical chart rather than a horizontal one. Seriously, you can read it. Not the numbers. You get the bars. You have the numbers here. We can read those. Everybody in the audience can lay down. Yeah, they seem like a great board, but they all have a bigger problem. You know, see that little, they go back where you were. You had a better way. It was that one. No, that wasn't it. Oh, you. We're on one where you had a. Hi. We do have one, actually. Oh, we got it. We have one at the board. We're all getting a lesson in PDFs today. Yeah, right. There it is. Give that man a raise. Yes. And I don't know, I'm probably sure if it might help it, the light yellow, gold, and blue, pink. We should have called a four take yellow, gold, and blue. We could just refer to those colors. Sure. So as you can see on the chart now, the upper indicates the number of buses that that is in the. Can you work on the mic, please? Thank you. So refer to the upper row in the pink. Basically, it gives you the number of buses that are scheduled replacement. So we're starting in fiscal year 17 and 18 with 62. We've had some refurbishes and we've had some new buses come in. So it's dropped in down to 57. Each of the rows following will have a reference to decommissions. And you'll see that the 57 right below it shows a minus four, those are the number of buses that were taken out of service dropping that number down. Refurbishments, you'll see that there were in fiscal year 18-5 and another in 19-2. That's what our projection is. Are the refurbishments done by our in-house staff or in mechanics? It's a mixture. Yes, there's engine overhauls and things of that nature. We usually send out because we get a warranty with the engine. But we do do in-house rebuilds for repair purposes. That gives us a little leg up when the bus is down. Bus replacements, we're looking at perhaps three that's coming in in fiscal year 19. And as you go along the column or the row, you'll see it increases, decreases, increases the number of buses that we are hoping and planning to purchase and or replace. So bus leases, again, we're looking at fiscal year 21 before we start doing another six. Replacement of refurbishments due. So basically by fiscal year 24, there's five that need to be added to that for refurbishing. Additional buses become obsolete. That's the yellow. You'll see five in 23, 11 and 24 just fluctuates as such. So then buses bought since 2018 becoming obsolete. You'll see that that stretches out over into fiscal year 30. That's when we start having like three of them that need to be replaced. Those are the buses because of what we bought the years out. That's how it begins to translate. So at the end of the fiscal year bus replacement needs, basically, you'll see where we started with 62. And that's the blue line. It drops down in fiscal year 22 and 23 to zero. That means that we've caught up with everything. We've got our refurbishments in place. We've got our new buses. And theoretically, we don't have a need for replacing anything at that point. But then it starts climbing back up. And you'll see it in the chart up above. If I get in the bus replacements, fiscal year, next, not this fiscal year, but next, 15, that's a lot. Did we buy a lot of buses 12 years ago or 15 years ago? There was a big influx on 2002. There was a lot of buses that were purchased with a big grant that came in. And so there's quite a number of buses there. The 9,800s, we still have about 18 of those that need to be replaced. So there's varying degrees. But we're working slowly through a lot of these. One of the big pushes that we're having is that of VTA. And our, Eddie has been negotiating with VTA on obtaining at least 10 diesel hybrids, right? 2014 diesel hybrids. They've got about 90,000 miles on them. They're reducing service. So they're like oversupply of buses. And they're going to be transitioning them to us if the board approves. Their board approves. We want to thank Eddie for being on top of that. And you for being on top of that one. Yes, that's great. Yeah. There's also four articulate questions. Director Leopold had a question. Well, I just, I couldn't understand. In 2020, where it talks about 15 bus replacements, you mentioned 10, if we put aside, I mean, it's a big number. And I'm just trying to figure out how we're going to pull that off. It's a combination of replacements and refurbishments overalls, extending the bus life out. So you could have an older bus and refurbish the engine and the interiors and give it another six years. But isn't the refurbishment the line above it, where it says three? Right, but in order to balance things out, I mean, we're looking at 15 there that we would like to buy, but maybe we can't afford it. So we would have to re. It's kind of a document that's living. So it changes, depending on where our finances are, what we're able to achieve, and how we're able to move forward with. It's set now to go forward in this direction, but it may change in the future. I mean, I understand that we want to put aside money each year to $3 million a year to have. I imagine we use that to outright purchase and or leverage at whatever percentage to get grants. But when I see a number like 15, I just don't know how realistic that is. So I think it seems pretty close. Eddie and Aaron might chime in, but I believe the 15 makes some assumptions about the VTA transfer of equipment. If that goes successfully this month with their board, we will bring that to you next month. That's the plan to accept the equipment if you so choose. I believe in that year, we're also getting our four pro-terras in that mix. And we also have the five gilligs that we've already ordered that are coming in. So am I right, Aaron? Did I hit on those? So that's why that number looks so large in a single year, because it's a combination of a very big transfer of equipment from VTA, five gilligs that we've already placed the order for, and up to four arrivals of our pro-terra electrics. There's a whole level of detail beneath this in spreadsheets. This is just a roll-up of that. But I want to make a point clear, and you just touched on it, director. This plan assumes that the board continues with its commitment of $3 million a year to capital. This plan does not assume anything in the way of prevailing in grant applications, which is really what's pretty awesome about this plan is that if you stay with your $3 million a year commitment, if we never receive another grant, we can be in balance by 2022. Now, between now and 2022, we talk about strategies to make those bars that start going up in 2024 come back down. But we got ourselves in balance by 2022. Every grant we win from here on in will help these bars move. So we win grants, maybe we'll get in balance in 2021. We win grants, maybe we don't start to get out of balance until 2024, 2025. So strategically, we start fixing the plan and giving ourselves some breathing room to figure out how to make 2024, 2025 never happen again. We bought ourselves some time, because we got ahead of the curve finally. But it relies, I can't underscore it enough, it relies on the board's continued commitment of $3 million for capital a year, or this plan blows up. And then just following up the lease bus question, you just explain a little bit more about what that is. So you might recall, Sarah, why don't you talk about the Paul Revere's, because that's a good example. So we had an opportunity to purchase three, we call them Paul Revere's. They're actually new flyer buses, 2016 vintage. They were purchased by a private concern over in Boston. And it was put out through a broker that the buses were being offered for $475,000 a piece, and they only had 2,000 miles on them. So as a result, one by land, two by sea, it's going outbrainer. We were told, I explained that Daniel Zaragoza, the superintendent of Paracruz, was the one that alerted me to this, because he had contacted someone at CTA and had a relationship. And they let him know, hey, this is coming down. So consequently, what ends up happening is I went over and spoke to Alex and said, hey, they got these buses for sale. He says, get on a plane and go over there and check them out. I want those buses. So I did. And they were great. I mean, brand new. They didn't even have dirt on them, really. So consequently, we negotiated a lease to purchase agreement with a broker, a broker house. And we were able to get the buses, we're paying approximately $26,000 a month for three buses. And it'll pan out for six years, but it's amortized. And we can pay it off earlier. So choose without penalty. And that's how we were able to get these newer buses. And I was just confirming with Aaron, the three that you see in FY19 is the Paul Reverez. So they drove them 2,000 miles on it? Why were they selling them? I mean, they drive them around the block and say, I don't like this. And so they sell them to us? I ask the same questions. Basically, what happened is this firm provides services, contracted services. They're like, I guess, a discovery or a firm that will do a shuttle for the airport or do a shuttle for the hospitals. That's how they were deploying them. It was explained to me that the hospital had requested 12 buses, an order of 12 buses, because they were going to increase the amount of a contract by that much. And when the owner ordered the buses, he bought all 12 of them, the hospital decided to cut it back to eight. So he had a surplus of what, four. And he was able to repurpose one. And he had these three that he wasn't doing anything with. And they were just sitting there, and they sat there for two years. So they had all the warranties and such on them. And I didn't want to add miles to them, so I had them trucked over here so we could start the warranties as cleanly as possible. Dr. Leopold, did you? Yeah, I'm just trying to track the information. Because you mentioned that the three buses, these Paul Revere buses, would be the replacement buses that we see in 2019. But that's in bus replacement, not in bus leases. So I'm just trying to figure out the lease bus situation, how that works. We have six in 2021, four in 2022. Right, the lease purchase is right. So that's why they're in the purchase line. Leases would be like the Arctic's, which we're just leasing, we're never buying those, or at least we don't plan to buy them at this point. Yeah, we'll go back and check that. It could be that it belonged in the lease, but we are proposing that anything we do in the lease be this similar type of fashion, where it's a lease purchase with a zero residual at the end of the lease, that we would own it. And so the bus replacements would be more, generally more outright purchase. That's correct. These buses would be the ones in which we would have a multi-year agreement, but at the end that's nothing. That's correct. And what happens with the leases, and sort of the reason why we don't want to do too much in that realm, is just like with the Paul Revere's, you take your $3 million down by the annual lease servicing costs. So now we have three leases, we have a little less than $3 million next year. If we lease more, we have to pull that annual lease payment out of the $3 million so we'll have a little bit less to invest in the coming year. So it's a delicately balanced plan that assumes a combination of efforts, leases, refurbishments. Refurbishment, the beauty of the refurbishment is we spend a lot less money, we buy another six, seven, eight years for that bus, we take that bus and move it out in time. It doesn't come back into the mix until a little bit later on. And then of course purchasing. And so the purchasing plan says, we'll have money to leverage against grants, but if we don't get a grant like this year, we put $1 million towards bus, bus facilities, we didn't get the grant. So we will come back and discuss either using that million to go buy a bus or rolling it into next year to be more aggressive in our leveraging. So that sort of brings me to another point. Our intent today was to introduce you to this item and Abbott referred to capital standing committee to get into a lot of these details. These are really good questions and then ask the capital committee to report back to you. That's ultimately what we're looking for, if you don't mind. Is there a continuity with the buses? Do they all look, are they look alike? I mean, we're buying, it seems like we're kind of buying Mishmash, like buying them all up. Are they, do they look alike or since they're different brands, do they? No, actually the three Paul reviewers were a new flyer. They look similar to the 35 foot 1300s, which is 2013 vintage. They're just larger, they're 40 footers. And they're painted the same colors. Same graphics. I get the graphics, but I'm just curious of the body. Doesn't matter. The body's pretty much the same. And then we just got had like what, we just released five, five of them not too long ago. This is the three Paul reviewers. And then we have no another three coming in. No. So what's the total lease? We're not proposing to lease by this plan, not proposing to lease additional buses until 2021. So we just have three lease to buys right now. That's all we're dealing with. That's correct. Okay. And then just a quick question on Aaron probably may know the answer, but when's our Watsonville electric bus coming? Because, you know, I've been sitting on this board for over three years. Watsonville electric bus is still not on order. It's in the four that we're continuing to work with Protera on. It is, again, this is, this goes back to this carb discussion we had earlier. Getting into electric buses is not just flipping a switch and saying you want to get into electric buses. This has been a very difficult thing for us to learn about. And we don't want to make a mistake. And we've had numerous meetings, including sending Sarah and a team down to LA to meet in the room with Protera, to hash out a list, a long list of questions. We've now got all the specs sorted out, but we're down to a couple of key issues. One being weight. We're buying Protera's newest and greatest bus, 600, 620, whatever it is, which allegedly goes more than 150 miles, underscore allegedly, because we won't believe it till we see it. But we are buying the one that has the most batteries and energy. But they have to answer two very important questions before we finalize that. We need to know that the axle weight will be compliant with the new state regulation. They haven't been able to answer that yet. And because it is their newest biggest bus with lots of batteries and lots of weight, we need to make sure that once we load that up, fully loaded with people sitting and standing, that we don't exceed the legal gross weight of that vehicle to operate on a street. The last thing I wanna do is buy a bus and have to post on that bus that we can only carry sitting loads. That's not- What is everyone else doing now though? I mean, I'm sure people are buying electric buses now. They're all struggling with the same questions, but nobody has the newest Protera yet. There are several orders in it, in for those, and they're all sitting in the same place we are. Will their electric buses be grandfathered in into the new regulations? The ones that currently have electric buses? I mean, I have a hard time believing that they're gonna create all the, they're gonna be like, oh, well, these electric buses, you can't, they're no longer relevant. No, the new regulation is stair stepped. So each year, you get a little bit more restrictive until you get to the final year of the regulation. So we need to make sure that the Proteras delivered next year are compliant with next year's axle weight requirement. So are we waiting for this to get to that final tier before we move with any electric buses? Cause that's kind of disheartening. We're waiting for Protera to assure us that the weight of the vehicle will be compliant. They communicated with Sarah recently that they're running the calculations and they'll get back to us soon. That's really the stumbling block right now. We're just waiting on that. I think we've sorted out all of the other specifications. Is that correct? So this dream of the Watsonville bus, how that's, we're years now. So I've been waiting years and now it's gonna be, is that what you're saying right now? Cause I was expecting it to be done. Erin's shaking her head, yes, so. Probably late next year at the earliest for that bus. It'll be before the Capitola bus. Just, just. Director Rockman. I have two questions. One, in the narrative part of the report, we talk about buses being the on their useful life for 12 years, but didn't the federal regulation change from 12 to 14 years or like how long you're supposed to hold onto a bus? It's a good question. So they're speaking out of both sides of their mouth. The regulation is still 12, minimum that you have to hold it for, but we think at some point they're gonna move it to 14 because even in the transit asset management plan, which we filed ours a week ago to be compliant, it's due October 1st. They're recommending 14 years on buses, but it's not in the reg yet. I think it will be soon. And my second question, I know it's, it will end up being counterintuitive to the public and we'll see like, what are you guys up to? But our plan is not to buy only electric buses from this day forward. Our notion is we're gonna get to 2040 with electric buses. We're gonna, you know, it's sort of one step back, two steps forward, hopefully rather than the reverse. So we start increasing the electric, the percentage of our fleet that's electric. This chart doesn't talk about the, whether these buses were purchasing our electric or CNG or diesel hybrid or whatever the heck. Is it premature to ask, could we get a chart at some point that tells us how this chart plays out to 2040 with the electric question being played into it? So in the end, you don't end up, you know, yeah, we got, we managed to get on top of the question of replacing you out of date buses, but we still haven't addressed the issue of how we're gonna be an electric fleet by 2040. Is that a premature question? No, no, it's such a chart. It's in there. Tell me about how we're gonna make it happen. It's in there. I can answer that pretty quickly, I believe. So the chart is based on the useful life of the bus, right? There's basically 94 buses behind that chart. So as those buses become obsolete, we're looking at the year to see whether we're gonna purchase CNG and it's 12 years of life, right? They have to be done by 2040. So as these age out, we're choosing CNG based on that method and then electric once we start bumping up against that. So that's in that plan. Currently beyond the electric buses, we've been discussing the four Proteras and the three over the road coaches. We don't have a plan to purchase electric buses in the next few years. So the one, a problem in that plan could be, it wouldn't necessarily be, but could be that we managed to not buy any buses that are not electric going past the, whose useful life will go past 2040, but it's possible we'd face a cliff of having to buy an awful lot of electric buses in 2039 or something, am I wrong? Okay, let me just clarify. So this goes, this is the overlap with the CARB regulation and this assumes either 2023 or 2026 implementation on CARB. CARB doesn't mandate that in any particular year you buy electric buses. What CARB says is in a particular year, if you're buying buses, a certain percentage has to be electric buses. And so part of what we have been fighting for is for Metro to be considered a small property and we should be a small property. And if we are designated a small property, then we don't have to mandatorily start buying percentages of our procurement as electrics until 2026. If we're classified as a large property, which is counterintuitive, but if we are in 2023, we have to start, if we were procuring buses in 2023, 25% would have to be electric. We took a position, we, you, the board and us, took a position that we'd like to push out the mandatory aspect of electrics as far as possible so that we can learn with our own buses that we're gonna buy and learn from the VTAs, MTAs and Munis that are diving in with two feet, what works and what doesn't work. So that's why we wanna push it out. This plan does assume that we're gonna have to buy them and this plan assumes that from 2029 forward, 100% of what you buy are electric. Nothing's gonna change in that. I'm sure Carb is gonna stick with 2029 and forward, 100% have to be electrics. But it's how we get there, those initial steps that we're wrangling over right now. Thank you, that's very helpful. If you look at FY26, that one bus in the bus replacement row, that would be electric. We're buying one bus, you've gotten a choice. If the mandate is 2026 and that, you don't have the costs behind this, but we also have the costs for these bus replacements and leases and refurbs all built in the back. And then those go up because electric buses are more expensive. So it's starting in 2026, the cost per bus will go up dramatically and the overall cost will go up for whatever number of buses we buy. But under the plan that you authorized a couple of months ago, you're allowing me to procure compressed natural gas buses right up to the last moment that we can procure those. I think the board well understood why we can't afford to just only buy electric buses at this point, given all the arguments you've made about knowing what we're doing and not wasting the public's money. But we do have a job to do in explaining this all to the public. They're gonna wanna know if you wanna be all electric, why are you buying today? Why are you buying something that's not electric? Or because we could do that, we just have to take service off the road to make it happen, which is not gonna be acceptable. Part of the plan that we've put together here also includes the fact that we have a fueling facility that has a useful life up to 2040. So a lot of things that are going on behind the scenes with this whole plan has a lot of components to this. So consequently, we kinda wanna stage everything in as we're going along, so that we don't jump into something that we're gonna regret in big time. For Director Dutra, I know that he wants his electric bus, but yesterday, yesterday. We all want him to have his bus. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. The core factor is that we did do a trip to VTA that purchased five of these buses, and I was not pleased with the performance of those buses or the quality of workmanship that we were able to see from those buses. And the conversations that we had with Protero was, and I'll put it succinctly, if you send me something like that, I'm sending it right back. So they are looking at it from a much different perspective, and a lot of it is governed by the fact that we're small and we wanna take care of the money that we have. I mean, we don't wanna just buy something and all of a sudden end up with something we don't, it's not gonna be useful for us. I think you're gonna be pleasantly surprised. We'll hold on to the dream. Yeah. You got to kill it. So that money doesn't expire then, right? Is that what I'm saying, the grant money? There's no expiration. Yes and no. We have one, we have the LCTOP money that we have to work with the state to get an extension on. It comes up due next year. We think we will have a very good argument and good success there because the state is in control of LCTOP. The state is about ready to force us to buy electric buses and you just don't go to an electric bus lot and pick up an electric bus. So we can also show our due diligence that this last two years has been nonstop work on this program, trying to get it to a place where we can place an order. I'm gonna be honest with you, we're nervous now at least about this. This is happening on our watch and we wanna bring a product to this agency using public money that's the right product. I don't wanna bring a piece of junk. I don't wanna bring what Zero described that he saw over the hill here. I wanna bring something here that works and that we can be proud of for the next 12 to 14 years and that it's not some sort of million dollar disaster for us or in this case, four million dollars. So in summary, we're from the transit district and we're here to help but we're not so sure about everybody else. If they're really trying to help us or just keep the ball in the air, I guess, huh? Yeah? Director Lin, and then? Yeah, well, first of all, I think the strategy of learning from others, especially larger agencies, their jurisdictions that will be having a lot more experience on maintenance and working on all the kinks is a good thing. But Trina brought up something too. As far as the mechanics portion of it and how the maintenance, is that consistent from the various buses or would our staff be able to be trained and able to work on one style bus the same? How do they differ? So we're gonna have a transition period. The 10 VTA buses that are being transferred to us are hybrid diesel electrics. So that'll begin the process of the training aspect with a dual propulsion type of bus. The fact of the matter is that the bus from Protera is basically the same understructured type of componentry. You got suspension, you've got steering, you've got all of that goes on. What differs is basically the propulsion system that is specifically electric. And that is batteries and inverters and a whole number of other variable componentry that they will train on. So the training will be provided. It's part of the package. And we're not gonna allow persons that don't feel comfortable with it to just get in. They're gonna get their training, they're gonna feel good about the training and confident going forward with repairs in these buses. Taking a few at a time is also an opportunity to learn and not be overwhelmed with everyone trying to get on board at the same time, having the chance to learn and learn from other jurisdictions as well. And there is a warranty period for these buses. So constantly the manufacturer will have a responsibility for that. Dr. Hagen, would you have a question? Yes, I'm sorry. It's rather interesting to listen to all this because I live with this every day. This little machine I'm sitting on is $22,000. It's supposed to go eight and a half miles an hour. It's fine. It does for a while. But this little gizmo I'm sitting here with which is the control, is incapable of handling it. Handling the mechanism, the changes, the lifts. This little box, I can't pull it out, it's attached, is by itself $1,200. This is the third one I've had in two years. And these little items that, yeah, it's fully loaded and excellent chair, designed to fit me, all the guarantees with this chair was designed and okayed if I only weighed 150 pounds and the chair was only 120 pounds. Unfortunately, the chair is 300 pounds and I'm 200. As a result, none of this stuff is working efficiently. Instead of going 22 miles for a recharge, I'm lucky to get 12 to 13 miles. These are the same things I'm listening to every day, only on a much smaller scale. A good example. Thank you. Any other questions from the audience? Take him to Congress. Yes. I would say on the car technology that that has gotten better. So that, you know, I don't, we shouldn't just cast all aspersions. There are advances being made in the technology. You know, I drive an all electric car and I took it up to Tahoe this weekend which is the first time I took it that far and it worked really well. And so, it's a lot easier coming back from Tahoe because it's all downhill. But you feel it on the hills and that's what the big issues are. Does this need any approval? To move forward to... Okay. I mean, are we getting out to the public? Yeah, oh yeah. But did you have any other further comments, Zero? No, not unless you have a third question. Good, great questions that we have here. Any comments from the public? Just one quick comment. You know, you got a pleasure, your mechanics and how we need to invest in them because they're going to be, you know, the spearhead and all of this from there because they're going to be working from diesel to hybrids to, you know, all these components. So, you know, you got to invest in their expertise and just knowledge. That's a good point. Yes. We do have training in each of these grants. So we do have funding for quite a bit of training as we go. Thank you. Yes. Any other questions? Statements from the public? I move for approval. Second. Second. This is going to, so we're going to move this to the capital committee. Is that correct? Is that the order? And then we'll come back. Yes. Okay, we have a motion, a second. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? So ordered unanimously. Thank you, Cyril, for that brief explanation. Brief, yeah. Yeah, right. That was an explanation, one missed. Okay, we've voted item number 15 to approve adopting Title IX, Chapter I of the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District administrative code related to, one, revised policy regarding the use of fixed route services and transit facilities, including passenger code of conduct and service suspension exclusion, and two, a revised passenger code of conduct and service suspension exclusion policy for a pair of crews. Mr. Clifford. Sure. Thank you as chair directors. You might recall that in January of this year, we brought you the very first code of conduct for Santa Cruz Metro. And we're really proud of that. And in the process of discussion, I think it was director Leopold asked us if we had taken this to the Mac and to the E&TAC, and we were embarrassed to say that we did not. And so what you agreed upon is that you would adopt the code of conduct, but you directed us to go back to the Mac and the E&TAC and receive their input on the code of conduct, which we have done in the months since. So we've been to, I think, Mac twice and also to E&TAC, received their comments, incorporated those comments into the code of conduct. You have a red line version. You can see where the changes were made. In addition to that, staff came up with some additional things that we need. This'll be a little bit of a living document. It's our first. So I may come back to you next year with more revisions, but we wanna get it right. But you have a really good version now. And one of the things that we added is as a result of an inquiry from a movie company wanting to use one of our buses and one of our bus stops, we needed to add some language into this policy to address that. We chose to go that route. In conferring with legal, we chose to go that route as opposed to a standalone movie shoot policy. LAMTA has a standalone movie shoot policy. We're not big enough. We don't have that many requests. We figure we can just incorporate it into this and get it done. So I think it's been a good process. Thank you for pointing out our error. We have now since corrected it. And we think you have a much better policy in front of you. I have a question from the board. I have a question. I have a comment. I did have just a few. Director Matthews. What does EPAM, EPAMD mean? Oh, that's, I see if I read it. I don't know. Okay, I got it. It's segue. Yeah, essentially. Yeah. Answered my own question there. I really appreciated the additions on the red line resulting from consultation and further work. Those all made sense to me. Couple of questions. Well, typo. I had this drilled into me at such an early age. It should be lying and not laying. People lie down, hands lay eggs. I'll give you the page number. Okay. If you could. Thank you for that clarification. The elementary school teacher is very good. My father. There's a grammar class in our future. Our whole family gets grammar beat into us. And then page. I think four and five on page five. No, that wasn't it. Still on the red line version. Yeah, I'm on the red line version. Laying down. Mostly they were questions. I think the one I had now I'm not finding the page reference was just for the tracking of reporting. It's on 15 a B three. It talks about repeated incidents of suspendable conduct will also be factored into the length of suspension. I'm fully in support of this action. I know from the library system there is a way of tracking disciplinary actions across branches even. So I'm sure you'll work something out but problem individuals are problems on different routes and different buses undoubtedly. So that's just the question how to track that. So it is meaningful. But overall, I'm very supportive of this. And I think it really serves the public and the drivers really important. Does it say where it is? Under loitering section 5-08 camping laying down. Lying. I'm just reading what it says. 15 B A 12. Yeah. Not that it has to be answered in the policy per se, but it's something to think about. OK, we might as well make that correction. Any other questions from the board, the public? Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I have an entertainer motion. Or did you have a question? No, a comment before a motion. I will make a motion. I read through this carefully because if somebody is told they can't ride the bus, we're going to hear about it. And you don't want to go like, oh, who came up with that regulation or whatever. So I wanted to really understand what I would be visited with because it just takes one case to make you really feel like you've made a big, big mistake. So I read this carefully. And I really think we've done a good. We may change it, but it's a really good job for a start. And I feel quite comfortable that people who violate this policy shouldn't be riding on our buses or bothering other the remainder of our riders. So I will move approval of the new policy. Second, I just wanted to make a comment as well. I appreciate taking advantage of our advisory committee to review this. And also our employees and our labor groups, you know, those folks who have daily interaction with the public, that becomes really important to be able to talk to them about the policies that we're going to enact. And in some ways, they play a role in enforcing. I think these are good. And we will learn over the years how good or how much trouble we get in. But I also appreciate, I think when this also came, having this red line version makes a lot easier to see where some of the changes have been made. So they were good. Thank you. Oh, Mr. Hagan. This is interesting because just yesterday, riding home from Santa Cruz, we had an individual had a very severe cough all the way. Four times, the bus driver asked, ma'am, would you like to get off the bus if you're that sick? She wouldn't even bother putting her hand over her mouth that she was coughing. I got home and I literally washed all the clothes I hadn't because I was afraid God knows what's happened. I even washed down my wheelchair. The young girl sitting next to her, thought we got up and moved back to the back of the bus because she was scared. These are the type of situations that we need to deal with. And I think this was going to take care of situations like that. But again, our drivers were really, this driver is really into trying to protect all of us. Yeah, I just wanted to comment also. Some time ago, the city passed an ordinance limiting the amount of time people can spend in the parking garages. And there was objection to that. They were public spaces, et cetera. But the discussion came down to the fact that it's not just like a park. The purpose of a parking garage is for parking. And so I appreciated, right in the beginning, the clarification that the rules are to regulate conduct on metro facilities in connection with the Metro's provision of public transportation services. That's our purpose for being. And that's why we adopt these rules. So that was probably a legal suggestion. Anyway, it kind of justifies, you say, if maybe Mike, it was you that said, if we're going to restrict people's ability to ride or be in the facilities, why? And that's the why. Good. We have a motion. Any other questions? Motion is second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? It's ordered unanimously. Move on to item number 16, a proposal to approve consideration of issuing a formal request for proposals for an electronic fare payment pilot project for the Highway 17 express service. Pete Rasmussen? Yes. Good morning, Chairman and Board members. Our transportation plan. Sorry, cut you out there. As part of initial fare restructuring discussions earlier this year, the Board directed staff to explore options for new fare technology in order to address several limitations with the current fare collection system. Those limitations make fare payment inconvenient for customers and also create operational problems for Metro. Some of those limitations include currently no single-ride Highway 17 express ticket available for purchase at a Metro's TVM or customer service booth, which forces a single-ride customer to pay on board the bus with cash. The adult fare for Highway 17 express is $7, not exactly an amount that people readily have available in their wallet. And although customer service at Santa Cruz Metro Center will provide change, Metro has no customer service presence at Scotts Valley Transit Center or San Jose Dyrdon Station. So customers sometimes have to go to the store and make a purchase in order to get change. Customers who ride Metro frequently and use a period pass, such as a 31-day pass or a stored value card, such as cruise cash or cruise card, must go to a Metro Transit Center in order to add value to their card. Metro Writer's survey showed that customers would prefer an option to reload value either online or at a retail outlet in their neighborhood. Aside from the customer inconvenience, there is operational delay. Cash payment on board the bus is time consuming. At peak travel times, staff has observed boarding times for the Highway 17 express as long as 10 to 12 minutes, with most of that from feeding bills and coins into the fare box. Now I'll take a step back and provide some history. Metro's fare collection system was installed in 2011-2012. It included new fare boxes across the entire fixed route fleet as well as ticket vending machines, TVMs, at Transit Centers and Cabrillo College and print encoding machines, PEMS, for customer service to encode passes and tickets. The fare boxes themselves are expected to last through around 2023, but the TVMs and PEMS have already experienced several failures that have required extensive maintenance and or replacement. So while we're not at the point of needing an imminent replacement yet, it's wise to begin looking down the road at replacement options. As it happens, transit fare payment technology right now is in a period of rapid transition. Small to mid-sized transit agencies have relied for decades on fare boxes that receive cash and magnetic striped disposable passes that you're familiar with for our system. More recently, there have been durable plastic cards and other smart cards such as Metro's cruise cards or Bay Area's clipper cards. Within the last five years and especially accelerating this year, more than 50 transit agencies across the country have introduced mobile ticketing, the ability to purchase and display a transit ticket on a smartphone. It addresses many of the problems outlined above and is also a technology that can be deployed fairly quickly and without having to completely replace existing equipment. That makes it ideal for a pilot. With mobile ticketing, a customer would download an app to their smartphone, set up an account with a debit or credit card for payment and then purchase a single ride fare or any other ticket options. Then they would activate that ticket just prior to boarding the bus. From that point, there are several different ways that the mobile ticket can be verified. The simplest is visual verification. For that, an animated image or a word or phrase is displayed, something that's changed daily, which the operator then verifies as being the valid daily image and words. In more advanced systems, there is a piece of hardware called a validator installed on the bus and the customer holds their phone close enough for the validator to read it. Some vendors use a barcode similar to an airline boarding pass while others use technologies involving radio waves. In the RFP, we do not intend to prescribe any one particular method. We want the vendors to propose their recommended solution and the evaluation panel will then select the best proposal. Regardless of the type of system and service we select, it will provide useful information regarding customer's willingness to try new payment methods. While this RFP is for a short-term pilot and limited to the Highway 17 Express, the hope is that this is only the initial step toward a larger project that would cover the entire fixed route system and may include replacing the outdated equipment that we have now. I'd like to close by saying that staff will use that updated fare collection technology, ties in well with the Real Time Arrivals app that is part of the ITS system that was brought to the board in June. Both projects will add customer convenience and project a modern up-to-date impression of Metro. That concludes my presentation and I'll now be happy to respond to any questions. Mr. Leopold. I think this is a really good move forward. I know we've talked about it in the subcommittees. I just think in the evaluation of the systems, the idea of something that is maybe used by our neighboring transit systems should be given some weight because the idea of someone using it to go to the Highway 17 and then get to Deirdre on station and be able to use it for the next thing, there might be value in that. And I won't pretend like I know how that technology works. I just thought the idea that one day if we have a card to use a Clipper card because that Clipper card can be used then throughout the Bay Area just sort of connects us with that larger transit system that would be helpful I think to our riders. One of the avenues that we're exploring is whether we can join in on the Clipper system. And additionally, the newer technology is more flexible so we believe that that will make it easier to be able to tie in to other systems. Great, thank you. Rockin? I just want to say I commuted over to San Francisco using the Highway 17 once a week last year, every week, almost every week. And if anything, this description of the problem how long it takes to load people is an understatement. I mean, I know there are some of those times where at least 15 minutes. And the problem is I started carrying $40 and $1 bills with me because you stand in the line and people go, well, how do you pay for this? And they didn't, you know, they could, they go inside and the people at the desk tell them, well, we don't make change. Go to the store, they won't give you change unless you buy something. That was absolutely adherent in station. That's absolutely the case. But both at Santa Cruz boarding, but even more importantly, coming back the other way. It's going to be a line of people. And it's not just feeding the money into the thing. It's just not having $7 or even having 10 that you could throw $3 away with or something. And so I found myself going, if I want to get on this bus and get where I want to go on time, I need to bring $40 and $1 bills. And when people start to, because there's negotiations, what do you mean you don't have a way for me to pay for this ride or something? I walk up there, you know, I start paying for people so we could get the bus to leave. And that's not the way it's supposed to work, I don't think. So this is really, it's a serious issue. And this technology is everywhere. You can use it at movie theaters in downtown Santa Cruz. You can use it in museums in San Francisco. Show your smart, I don't even have a smart phone, but I watch these other people doing this, to show your phone. I think we want to move towards not having the drivers have to say, you know, I like that way that looks or something, but to have it where people can put it over top of something and it goes beep like at the airport or somewhere else. Because I think it's asking our drivers to do a bit much because there'll be disagreements. Drivers say that doesn't look like the right code for the day or something. So that might be a way out, it's an easy way out of it, but it'd be better to have a little, even if it costs a little more, something that people can just put their thing on a. Like an airplane. Like when you get on the airport or something like that. Rather than making that sort of a personal decision based on the drivers looking at it and thinking it's the right way to get on the bus or something. It's not an absolute comment about stuff, but our preference would be worth some money to have it not be put on the drivers to make the choice about whether it's a valid pass. For the comments, yeah. I've had people approach me as far as Scotts Valley because there's no one there and that being an issue and there's no retail, there's not even a store nearby that's quick to get to, it's a block or so away. So I think that would be really important for all the Highway 17, particularly Highway 17 riders there. The other challenge, I just sent an email a little bit ago. I've had people in Scotts Valley say they take the bus, Highway 17 and then connect and go to San Francisco, sometimes staying overnight and needing a way to be able to show their Metro customer. And I don't know a solution yet because of the no overnight parking due to the people using it for overflow that live in the area and just park vehicles there. And I'd explain, well, our intent with the no overnight is not to prohibit natural customers, but it's because of some of the other issues that are being misused. So I'm not sure as we're thinking about this if we can think of a way to have something for in a vehicle so that we can address that issue. We're coincidentally bringing you the parking ordinance next month and we'll have some of that incorporated into it. What we're gonna investigate for Scotts Valley is the possibility of a very inexpensive machine that could dispense overnight parking media that you could display on your dashboard. Perfect, yeah, something that's what I was thinking. I had no solution to give rather than right now we're not taking action yet, we're still working out the kinks, but we don't intend to prohibit a Metro customer from being able to travel to the Bay Area and stay the night and come back by bus. We wanna fix that problem. I mean, somebody could theoretically park at Scotts Valley Transit Center, go over the hill, catch an Amtrak and go away for two, three weeks on vacation and choose to leave their car there. We need to figure out a way to make that okay. Perfect, thank you. If I could interject, basically we have a mechanism in place where I've been approached with that particular situation. And the comment basically is to have them call the customer service department, identify their car, give us their license number and an understanding of how long they'll be utilizing the park and ride facility there. And that way we're not, we're not tagging them or calling it in as an abandoned vehicle, whatever, right? And we understand that they'll be there for a few nights, but one night, a few nights, whatever, okay? So that's an option right now. That gives me something to refer because I've been approached lately a few times. So thank you. Thank you, Matthews. I guess you'll want public comment, but given all the discussion here, I'm sure it's gonna last a lot longer. I was prepared to make the motion. Yeah, I was gonna ask for public comment, certainly. Anybody from the public would like to address us on this issue? Shamosa, you like that idea. Okay, we got the drivers like it, so that idea. Okay, Director Dutra. I just, I think this, you know, the age we live in, convenience is everything. So I'm glad that we're moving forward with this. And I was actually gonna make the same comment that Rocky made about the making it easy and just kind of showing it on the phone eventually. If we can look at some sort of technology that is that found, I think it just makes it easy for everybody and you really don't have to involve the bus driver and you can just go in and do that. So I think this is something that's important. And I also, I guess my question would be if you were to, you know, you just don't only ride the bus over the hill, but you're getting some sort of, you know, money put onto your car, your phone, and you're using like local routes, would you have to just go back river back to the old system, I would imagine? Or I mean, is that that, because that's where I think people might get a little bit kind of, you know, like, oh, I don't have to use it one way, do it one way when I'm going over the hill, but when I'm here, I gotta do it another way. I think it might become a little bit of a frustration. I think for right now, it's gonna be limited to the Highway 17 Express, so we'd have to figure out a way if we could. Is there a timeline for this pilot then? We're looking to put the RFP out in October and looking at beginning of January 19th. No, like how long will the pilot last for? Oh, 12 months. Okay, so then after that, then we can probably look, okay, that's fine. So, given that, I'll go ahead and move the recommended action with the understanding that staff takes into account the comments made by the members here. Sorry. Second by, okay, we have a motion to second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? Adopted unanimously to go out for request for proposals. We are going to be going into closed session. Shayna, do you have any comments on that? Sure, we're gonna be going into closed session for a conference with labor negotiators pursuant to government code section 54957.6. We do not anticipate, as far as I know, any action coming out of closed session for those in the public who might wish to stay to hear an announcement. I don't know if there's anybody from the public who would like to address us on this issue before we go into closed session. Eduardo Montesino, representative of Fixed Red Bus Operator. So I encourage you to look at our proposal that staff is gonna present to you. But we also need to be more respect for each other. Yesterday's meeting with staff was not only not productive, but accusatory and insulting from claims of bad faith, bargaining to claims that measures should offer zero because of no property has a differential like this, which is incorrect because staff has information that Bakersfield Golden Empire Transit has a differential like this. So just, words, thank you. Thank you. Respect needs to go both ways though. Any other comments from the public before we go into closed session? Okay, we will recess into closed session. I don't think we'll be coming back with anything reportable. Thank you. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq3yn8ITodw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

[ "SiliconANGLE Media Inc", "SiliconANGLE", "SiliconANGLE Inc", "theCUBE", "Wikibon", "John Furrier", "Dave Vellante" ]	2019-08-15T19:12:11	2024-02-05T08:42:56	1,960	ZqAxfcmovYA	From the SiliconANGLE Media office in Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE. Now, here's your host, Dave Vellante. Hello everybody, this is Dave Vellante with Stu Miniman, and we're going to take a look back at 10 years of theCUBE at VMworld, and look forward to see what's coming next. So, as I say, this is theCUBE's 10th year at VMworld. It's VMworld, of course, 2019. Let's do, if you think about the VMware of 2010, when we first started, it's a dramatically different VMware today. Let's look back at 2010. Paul Moritz was running VMware, he set forth the vision of the software mainframe last decade. Well, what does that mean, software mainframe? Highly integrated hardware and software that can run any workload, any application. That is the gauntlet that Tucci and Moritz laid down, a lot of people were skeptical. Fast forward 10 years, they've actually achieved that. I mean, essentially, it is the standard operating system, if you will, in the data center, but there's a lot more to the story. But you remember, at the time, Stu, it was a very complex environment. When something went wrong, you needed guys with lab coats to come in and figure out what was going on, the IO blender problem. Storage was a real bottleneck. So, let's talk about that. Dave, so much, first of all, hard to believe 10 years. Think back to 2010. It was my first time being at VMworld, even though I started working with VMware back in 2002 when it was like 150 person company. Remember when VMotion first launched? But that first show that we went to, Dave, was in San Francisco, and most people didn't know theCUBE. Heck, we were still figuring out exactly what theCUBE will be, and we brought in a bunch of our friends that were doing the cloud camps in Silicon Valley, and we were talking about cloud, and there was this gap that we saw between, as you said, the challenges we were solving with VMware, which was fixing infrastructure. Storage and networking had been broken, and how were we going to make sure that that worked in a virtual environment even better? But there were the early thought leaders that were talking about that future of cloud computing, which today in 2019 looks like we had a good prediction, and of course, where VMware is today, we're talking all about cloud. So, so many different eras and pieces and research that we did, hundreds and hundreds of interviews that we've done at that show. It's definitely been one of our flagship shows and one of our favorite for guests and ecosystems and so much that we got to dig into at that event. So, Todd Nielsen, who was the president and probably COO at the time, talked about the ecosystem. For every dollar spent on VMware license, $15 was spent on the ecosystem. VMware was a very, even though they were owned by EMC, they were very sort of neutral to the ecosystem. You had what we called the storage cartel. It was certainly EMC, you know, but NetApp was right there. IBM, HP, Dell had purchased Equal Logic. HDS was kind of there as well. These companies were the first to get the APIs. You remember the VASA, VAI. So, we pushed VMware at the time saying, look, you guys got a storage problem. They said, well, we don't have a lot of resources. We're going to let the ecosystem solve the problem. Here's an API, you guys figure it out, which they largely did, but it took a long time. The other big thing you had in that 2010 timeframe was storage consolidation. You had the bidding war between Dell and HP, which ultimately HP under Donatelli's leadership won that bidding war and acquired three par for 2.4, 2.5 billion. It forced Dell to buy compelling. Subsequently, Isilon was acquired. Data Domain was acquired by EMC. So, you had this consolidation of the early 2000 storage startups, and then still, storage was a major problem back then. But the big sea change was two things happened in 2012. Pat Gelsinger took over as CEO and VMware acquired NYSERA, beat Cisco to the punch. Why did that change everything? Yeah, Dave, we talked a lot about storage and how the ecosystem was changing this. NYSERA, we knew it was a big deal. When I talked to my friends that were deep in networking, and I had talked with NYSERA and was majorly impressed with what they were doing. But this heterogeneous, and what now is the multi-cloud environment, networking needs to play a critical role. You see, Cisco is clearly targeted that environment and NYSERA had some really smart people and some really fundamental technology underneath that would allow networking to go just beyond the virtual machine where it was before, the V-switch. So, that expansion, and actually it took a little while for the NYSERA acquisition to run into NSX and that product to gain maturity and to gain adoption. But as Pat Gelsinger has said more recently, it is one of the key drivers for VMware, getting them beyond just the hypervisor itself. So, so much is happening. I mean, Dave, I look at the swings as you said, VMware didn't have enough resources there, we're gonna let the ecosystem do it. In the early days it was, I chose a server provider and oh yeah, VMware kind of plays in it. So, VMware really grew how much control and how much power they had in buying decisions and we're going through more of that change now as to, as they're partnering, we're gonna talk about AWS and Microsoft and Google as those pieces. And Pat, driving that ship, the analogy we gave is could Pat do for VMware what Intel had done for a long time, which is you have a big ecosystem and you slowly start eating away at some of that other functionality without alienating that ecosystem. And Pat's credit is actually something that he's done quite well. There's been some ebbs and flows, there's pushback in the community, those that remember things like the V-tax when they rolled that out. There's certain features that they've rolled into the hypervisor that have had parts of the ecosystem gripe a little bit, but for the most part, VMware is still playing well with the ecosystem, even though after the Dell acquisition of EMC, we'll talk about this some more, that relationship between Dell and VMware is tighter than it ever was in the EMC days. So, that led to the Software Defined Data Center, which was the big sort of vision, VMware wanted to do to storage and networking what it had done to compute. And this started to set up the tension between VMware and Cisco, which lives on today. The other big mega trend, of course, was flash storage, which was coming into play. In many ways, that whole API gymnastics was a bandaid. But the other big piece of it is Pat Gelsinger was much more willing to integrate some of the EMC technologies, and now Dell technologies into the VMware sort of stack. Right, so Dave, you talked about all of those APIs. VVolz was a huge multi-year initiative that VMware worked on, and all of the big storage players were talking about how that would allow them to deeply integrate and make it, virtualization, aware storage, your sort of tentry come out on their own and try to do that. But if you look at it, VVolz was also what enabled VMware to do VSAN. And that is a little bit of how they can try to erode some of the storage piece, because VSAN today has the most customers in the hyper-converged infrastructure space and is keeping to grow, but they still have those storage partnerships. It didn't eliminate it, but it definitely adds some tension. Well, it is important because under EMC's ownership, it was sort of a let-a-thousand flowers bloom sort of strategy. And today, as you see Jeff Clark coming in and consolidating the portfolio, saying, look, let VMware go hard with VSAN. So you're seeing a different type of governance structure. We'll talk about that. 2013 was a big year. That's the year they brought in Sanjay Poonan. They did the AirWatch acquisition. They took on what the industry called VDI, what VMware called EUC and user computing. Citrix was the dominant player in that space. VMware was fumbling, frankly. Sanjay Poonan came in, the AirWatch acquisition, now VMware is a leader in that space. So that was big. The other big thing in 2013 was the famous comment by Carl Eschenbach about if we lose the bookseller, we'll all lose, VMware came out with its cloud strategy, vCloud Air. I was there with the Wall Street analysts that day listening to Pat explain that, and we were talking afterwards to a number of the Wall Street analysts saying, this really doesn't make a lot of sense. And then they sort of retreated on that, said it was going to be an accelerant, it just was basically a failed cloud strategy. And Dave, that 2013 is also when they spun out Cloud Foundry and founded Pivotal. So this is where they took some of the pieces from EMC, the Green Plum and they took some of the pieces from VMware, Spring and the Cloud Foundation and put those together. As we speak right now, there was just an SEC filing that VMware might suck them back in. Where I look at that, back in 2013, there was a huge gap between what VMware was doing on the infrastructure side and what Cloud Foundry was doing on the application modernization standpoint. They had bought the Pivotal Labs piece to help people understand new programming models and everything along those lines. Today in 2019, if you look at where VMware is going, the changes happening in containerization, the changes happening from the application down, they need to come together. The Achilles heel that I've seen for VMware for a long time is that VMware doesn't have enough of a tie to or help build the applications. Microsoft owns the applications, Oracle owns the applications. There are all the ISVs that own the applications and Pivotal, if they bring that back into VMware, can help. But it made sense at the time to kind of spin that out because there wasn't synergies between them. It was what I called at the time, a bunch of misfit toys. And so it was largely David Goulden's engineering of what they called the Federation. And now you're seeing some more engineering, financial engineering of having VMware essentially by another Dell Silver Lake asset in which drove the stock price up 77% in a day that the Dow dropped 800 points. So I guess that works, kind of funny money. The other big trend sort of in that mid part of this decade, hyper-converged, really hit Nutanix who was at one point a strong partner of both VMware and Dell was sort of hitting its groove swing. Fast forward to 2019, different situation. Nutanix really doesn't have a presence there. People are looking at going beyond hyper-converged. So there's sort of the VMware ecosystem sort of friendly posture has changed. They point fingers at each other. VMware says, well, it's Nutanix's fault. Nutanix would say it's VMware's fault. So Dave, I pointed out the Achilles heel for VMware might be that they don't have the closest height of the application, but their greatest strength is really they are really the data center operating system, if you will. When we wrote out our research on server sand was before vSAN had gotten launched. It was where Nutanix, scale computing, simplicity, pivot three and a few others were early in that space, but we stated in our research if Microsoft and VMware get serious about that space they can dominate. And we've seen VMware came in strong. They do work with their partnerships. Of course, Dell with the VxRail is their largest solution, but all of the other server providers have offerings and can put those together. And Microsoft just last year that they kind of rebranded some of the Azure stack as HCI and they're going strong in that space. So absolutely strong presence in the data center platform and that's what they're extending into their hybrid and multi-cloud offering the VMware cloud solution. So I want to get to some of the trends today, but there's real quick, let's go through some of this. So 2015 was the big announcement in the fall where Dell was acquiring EMC. So we entered really the Dell era of VMware ownership in 2016. And the other piece that happened really 2016 in the fall but it went GA 2017 was the announcement AWS and VMware as the preferred partnership. Yes, AWS had a partnership with IBM. They've subsequently done. VMware has a partnership with IBM for their cloud. Subsequently VMware has done deals with Google and Microsoft. So we now have entered the multi-cloud hybrid world. VMware capitulated on cloud smart move cleaned up its cloud strategy, cleaned up that air watch mess. AWS also capitulated on hybrid. It's a term that they would never use. They don't use necessarily a lot today, but they recognize that on-prem is a viable portion of the marketplace. And so now we've entered this new era of cloud, hybrid cloud containers is the other big trend. People said containers are going to really hurt VMware. You know, the jury's still out on that VMware sort of pushes back on that. And Dave, just to put a point on that, you know, everybody including us spent a lot of time looking at this VMware cloud on AWS partnership. And what does it mean especially to the parent, you know, Dell, how do they make that environment? And you've pointed out, Dave, that while VMware gets in those environments and gives themselves a very strong cloud strategy, AWS is the key partner. But of course, as you said, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and all the service providers have a number of them, including you know, CenturyLink and Rackspace that they're partnering with. But we had to wait a little while before Amazon when they announced their outpost solutions, VMware is a critical software piece and you've got two flavors of the hardware. You can run the full AWS stack, just like what they're running in their data center. But the alternative of course, is VMware software running on Dell hardware. And we think that if VMware hadn't come in with a strong position with Amazon and there's 600,000 customers, we're not sure that Amazon would have said, oh yeah, hey, you can run, you know, that same software stack that you're running, but run some different hardware. So that's a good place for Dell to get in the environment and helps kind of close out that story of VMware, Dell and AWS and how the pieces fit together. Yeah, well so by the way, earlier this week, I privately mentioned to a Dell executive that one of the things I thought they should do is fold Pivotal into VMware. By the way, I think they should go further. I think they should look at RSA and Dell Boomi and SecureWorks, make VMware the mothership of software and then really tie in Dell's hardware to VMware. That seems to me, Stu, the direction that they're going to try to gain an advantage on the balance of the ecosystem. I think VMware now is in a position of strength with whatever, 500, 600,000 customers. It feels like it's less ecosystem friendly than it used to be. Yeah, Dave, there's no doubt about it. HPE and IBM who were two of the main companies that helped with VMware's ascendancy do a lot of other things beyond VMware. Of course, IBM bought Red Hat is a key counterbalance to what VMware is doing in the multi-cloud. And Dave, to your point, absolutely. If you look at Dell's cloud strategy, their number one offering is VMware, VMware Cloud on Dell. Dell, as the project dimension piece, all of these pieces do line up. I'll say some of those pieces, absolutely, I would say make sense to pull in and show together. I know one of the reasons they keep the security pieces at arm's length is just when something goes wrong in the security space, and it's not a question of if it's a question of when. They do have that arm's length to be able to keep that out and be able to remediate a little bit. It went something. So let's look at some of the things that we're following today. I think one of the big ones is how will containers affect customer spending on VMware? We know people are concerned about the VTACs. We also know that they're concerned about lock-in. And so containers are this major force. Can VMware make containers a tailwind or is it a headwind for them? So you look at all the acquisitions that they've made lately, Dave. Cloud health is, from a management standpoint, in the public cloud. Heptio and Bitnami targeting that cloud native space. Care of that with cloud foundry and you see VMware and Pivotal together trying to go all in on Kubernetes. So those 600,000 customers, VMware wants to be the group that educates you on containerization and Kubernetes and how to build these new environments. For a lot of customers, it's attractive for them to just stay. I have a relationship. I have an enterprise licensing agreement. I'm gonna stay along with that. The question I would have is if I wanna do something in a modern way, is VMware really the best partner to choose from? Do they have the cost structure? A lot of these environments set up, it's open source base or I can work with my public cloud providers there. So why would I partner with VMware? Sure, they have a lot of smart people and they have expertise and we have a relationship. But what differentiates VMware and is it worth paying for that licensing that they have or will I look at alternatives? But as VMware grows their hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, they absolutely are on the short list of strategic partners for most customers. The other big thing that we're watching is multi-cloud. I have said over and over that multi-cloud has largely been a symptom of multi-vendor. It's not necessarily to date anyway, been a strategy of customers. Having said that, issues around security, governance, compliance have forced organizations and boards to say, you know what, we need IT more involved. Let's make multi-cloud part of our strategy not only for governance and compliance but then making sure it adheres to the corporate edicts but also to put the right workload on the right cloud. So having some kind of strategy there is important. Who are the players there? Obviously VMware, I would say right now is the favorite because it's coming from a position of strength in the data center, Microsoft with its software state, Cisco coming at it from a standpoint of network strength, Google with Anthos, that announcement earlier this year and of course Red Hat with IBM. Who's the company that I didn't mention in that list? Well of course you can't talk about Cloud Dave without talking about AWS. So as you stated before, they don't really want to talk about hybrid and come on, multi-cloud, why would you do this? But any customer that has a multi-cloud environment, they've got AWS and the VMware, AWS partnership is really interesting to watch. It will be, you know, where will Amazon, you know, grow in this environment as they find their customers are using multiple solutions. Amazon has lots of offerings to allow you to leverage Kubernetes, but for the most part, they, you know, the messaging is still, we are the best place for you. If you do everything on us, you're going to get better pricing and all of these environments. But as you said, Dave, you know, we never get down to that homogeneous, you know, one vendor solution. It tends to be, you know, IT has always been this heterogeneous mess and you have different groups that purchase different things for different reasons. And we have not seen yet public clouds solving that for a lot of customers. If anything, we often have many more silos in the clouds than we had in the data center before. Okay. Another big story that we're following, big trend is the battle for networking. NSX, the software, you know, the networking component and then Cisco who's got a combination of obviously hardware and software with ACI. You know, Stu, I got to say, Cisco, a very impressive company, you know, 60 plus percent market share being able to hold that share for a long time. I've seen a lot of companies try to go up against Cisco. You know, the industry's littered with failures. It feels however, like NSX is a disruptive force that's very hard for Cisco to deal with in a number of dimensions. We talked about multicloud, but networking in general, Cisco still a major player, still, you know, owns the hardware infrastructure, obviously layering in its own software-defined strategy. But that seems to be a source of tension between the two companies. What's the customer perspective? Yeah, so, I mean, first of all, Dave, you know, Cisco from a hardware perspective is still going strong. There are some big competitors. Arista has been doing quite well into getting in especially high-performance, high-speed environment. You know, J. Shriolal and that team, you know, very impressive public company. Service providers that do really well. Absolutely, but absolutely, software is eating the world and it is impacting networking. Even when you look at Cisco's overall strategy, it is in the future. Cisco is not a networking company. They are a software company. The whole DevNet, you know, group that they have there is helping customers modernize what we were talking about with Pivotal. Cisco is going there and helping customers create those new environments. A customer standpoint, you know, they want simplicity. If, you know, my VMware is a big piece of my environment, I've probably started using NSX, NSXT, some of these environments. As I go to my service providers, as I go to multi-cloud, that NSX piece inside my VMware Cloud Foundation, you know, starts to grow. Where, I remember, Dave, a few years back, you know, Pac-Elsinir got up on stage and was like, this is the biggest collection of network administrators that we've ever seen and everybody's looking out around and they're like, where? Well, you know, we're virtualization people. Oh wait, just because we've got VNICs and VSwitches and things like that, it still is a gap between kind of the hardcore networking people and the software state. But just like we see on a storage, Dave, it's not like, you know, VSAN, despite its thousands of thousands of customers, it is not, you know, the dominant player in storage. It's a big player. It's a great revenue stream and it is expanding VMware beyond their core vSphere solutions. Back to Cisco real quickly. One of the things I'm very impressed with Cisco is the way in which they've developed infrastructure as code with the DevNet group, how CCIEs are learning Python and that's a very powerful sort of trend to watch. The other thing we're watching is VMware AWS. How will it affect spending, you know, near-term, mid-term, long-term? Clearly, it's been a momentum, you know, tailwind for VMware today, but the question remains, long-term, where will customers place their bets? Where will the spending be? We know that cloud has grown dramatically faster than on-prem, but it appears, at least in the near to mid-term, for one, two, maybe three more cycles, maybe indefinitely, that the VMware AWS relationship has been a real positive for VMware. Yeah, Dave, I think you stated it really well. You know, when I talked to customers, they were a bit frozen a couple of years ago. Ah, I know I need to do more in cloud, but I have this environment, what do I do? Do I stay with VMware? Do I have to make a big change? And what VMware did is they really opened things up and said, look, no, you can embrace cloud and we're there for you. We will be there to help be that bridge to the future if you will. So take your VMware environment, do VMware cloud in lots of places and we will enable that. What we know today, the stack that we hear all the time, the old 8020 we used to talk about was 80% keeping the lights on. Now the 80% we hear about is there's only 20% of workloads that are in public cloud today. It doesn't mean that that other 80% is going to flip overnight, but if you look over the next five to 10 years, it could be a flip from 8020 to 2080 and as that shift happens, how much of that estate will stay under VMware licenses because the day after, you know, AWS made the announcement of VMware cloud on AWS, they offered some migration services. So if you just want to go on natively on the public cloud, you can do that and Microsoft, Google, everybody has migration services. So use VMware for what I need to, but I might go more native cloud for some of those other environments. So we know it is going to continue to be a mix. Multi-cloud is what customers are doing today and multi and hybrid cloud is what customers will be doing five years from now. The other big question we're watching is outposts. Will VMware and outposts get a larger share of wallet as a result of that partnership at the expense of other vendors? And so it remains to be seen. Outposts grabbed a lot of attention, that whole notion of same control plane, same hardware, same software, same data plane on-prem as in the data center, kind of like Oracle's same, same approach, but it's seemingly a logical one. Others are responding, your thoughts on whether or not these two companies will dominate or the industry will respond for an equilibrium. Right, so first of all, that full same, same full stack has been something we've been talking about now. It feels like for 10 years, Dave, with Oracle, IBM had a strategy on that and you see that. But one of the things what VMware has strong strength, what they have over two decades of experiences on is making sure that I can have a software stack that can actually live in heterogeneous environments. So in the future, if we talk about, if Kubernetes allows me to live in a multi-cloud environment, VMware might be able to give me some flexibility so that I can move from one hardware stack to another as I move from data centers to service providers to public clouds. So absolutely, you know, one to watch. And VMware is smart. Amazon might be their number one partner, but they're lining up everywhere. When you see Sanjay Poonan up on stage with Thomas Kurian at Google Cloud, talking about how Anthos, you know, in your data center very much requires VMware. You see, you know, Satya Nadella up on stage talking about, you know, these kind of VMware partnerships. You know, VMware is going to make sure that they live in all of these environments just like they lived on all of the servers in the data center in the past. The other thing, the last two pieces that I want to touch on and they're related is as a result of Dell's ownership of VMware, our customer's going to spend more with Dell. And it's clear that Dell is architecting a very tight relationship. You can see, first of all, Michael Dell putting Jeff Clark in charge of everything Dell was brilliant because in a way, you know, Pat was kind of elevated as the superstar. And Michael Dell is the founder and he's, you know, the leader of the company. So basically what he's created is this team of rivals. Now, you know, Jeff and Pat, they've worked together for decades, but very interesting. We saw them up on stage together, you know, last year. Well, I guess at Dell Technologies World, it was kind of awkward, but so I love it. I love that tension. It's very clear to me that Dell wants to integrate more tightly with VMware. It's the clear strategy. And they don't really care at this point if it's at the expense of the ecosystem, let the ecosystem figure it out themselves. So that's one thing we're watching. Related to that is long-term, our customer's going to spend more of their VMware dollars in the public cloud. Come back to Dell for a second. To me, AWS is by far the number one competitor of Dell. You know, that shift to the cloud. Clearly they've got other competitors, you know, NetApp, Huawei, you know, on and on and on. But AWS is the big one. How will cloud spending affect both Dell and AWS long-term? The numbers right now suggest that cloud's going to keep growing. $35, $40 billion run rate company growing at 40% a year, whereas on-prem stuff growing, you know, at best single digits. So that trend really does favor the cloud guys. I talked to a Gartner analyst who tracks all their stuff, I said, can AWS continue to grow? It's so big. He said, there's no reason they can't stop. The market's enormous. I tend to agree. What are your thoughts? Yeah, on the AWS, absolutely, I agree, Dave. They are still, if you look at the overall IT spend, AWS is still a small piece. They have, that lever that they have and the influence they have on the marketplace greatly outweighs the, you know, $30, $31 billion that they're at today and absolutely they can keep growing. The one point I think what we've seen the best success that Dell is having, it is the Dell and VMware really coming together, product development, go-to-market, the field is tightly, tightly, tightly aligned. The VxRail was the first real big push and if they can do the same thing with the V Cloud Foundation, you know, VMware Cloud on Dell hardware, that can be a real tailwind for Dell to try to grow faster as an infrastructure company, you know, to grow more like the software companies or even the cloud companies will. Because we know when we've run the numbers, Dave, private cloud is going to get a lot of dollars even as public cloud, it continues its growth. I think the answer comes down to a couple things. Because right now we know that 80% of the spend and install base is on-prem, 20% in the cloud. We're entering now the cloud 2.0, which introduces hybrid cloud, on-prem, you know, connecting to clouds, multi-cloud, Kubernetes, so what it comes down to me, Stu, is to what degree can Dell, VMware, and the ecosystem create that cloud experience in a hybrid world, number one, and number two, how will they be able to compete from a cost structure standpoint? Dell's cost structure is better than anybody else's in the on-prem world. I would argue that AWS's cost structure is better, you know, relative to Dell, but remains to be seen. But really those two things, the cloud experience and the cost structure, can they hold on, and how long can they hold on to that 80%? All right, so Dave, here's the question I have for you. What are we talking about when we're talking about Dell plus VMware, and even add in Pivotal? It's primarily hardware plus software. Who's the biggest competitor in that multi-cloud space? It's IBM plus Red Hat, which you've stated emphatically, this is a services play, and IBM has just got services in their DNA, and that can help supercharge where Red Hat's going and the modernization. So is that a danger for Dell? If they bring in Pivotal, do they need to really ramp up that services? How do they do that? Yeah, and I don't think it's a zero-sum game, but I also don't think there's, it's five winners. I think that the leader, VMware right now would be my favorite. I think it's going to do very well. I think Red Hat has got a lot of good market momentum. I think they've got a captive install base with IBM and it's a large outsourcing business, and I think they can do pretty well, and I think number three can do okay. I think the other guys struggle, but it's so early right now in the hybrid cloud world, in the multi-cloud world that, if I were any one of those five, I'd be going hard after it. We know Google's got the dollars, we know Microsoft has the software estate, so I can see Microsoft actually doing quite well in that business, and could it emerge in as the, maybe they're not a long shot right now, but they could be a three to one, four to one leader that comes out as the favorite. So all right, we got to go, Stu. Thanks very much for your insights, and thank you for watching and listening. We will be at VMworld 2019, three days of coverage on theCUBE. Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll see you next time.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqAxfcmovYA", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UC98CzaYuFNAA_gOINFB0e4Q	Nicolas Kuhaupt - Probabilistic Forecasting with DeepAR and AWS SageMaker	"Probabilistic Forecasting with DeepAR and AWS SageMaker EuroPython 2020 - Talk - 2020-07-24 - Parrot Data Science Online By Nicolas Kuhaupt In time series forecasting we are interested in how the time series is going to continue in the future. This is of high importance in areas like forecasting energy production from renewable resources, forecasting demand of customers or the price of products. Many forecasting algorithms provide only the prediction. However, oftentimes we are also interested in the likelihood of the prediction and how much it may vary. This is what probabilistic forecasting is for. With every forecast, we also obtain an upper and lower bound with certain probabilities. For a long time, probabilistic forecasting was limited to traditional techniques like ARIMA. DeepAR is an algorithm that allows us to combine Deep Learning techniques with probabilistic forecasting. Additionally, in contrast to training a model for each time series individually, DeepAR suggests training one large forecasting model for all related time series. The algorithm was developed by Amazon and is also provided in AWS SageMaker. In this talk, we will understand the theoretical basics of DeepAR, have a look at a practical time series example and will demonstrate an implementation. In the end, you will be prepared to get started with your own forecasts.

Our first speaker is Nikolas Kuhabt from Data Convolution. Nikolas studied mathematics in Germany and in the United States, and he got passionate about the topics of big data and data science during his master thesis. He then worked as a big data consultant and later changed to Fraunhofer IEEE to work as a research data scientist and beginning in 2020, he worked as a freelancer in data science. He is now talking, his talk title is probabilistic forecasting with deep AR and Amazon web services SageMaker. Nikolas, please start sharing your slides and let's start. Thanks for the nice introduction. I hope you guys had a great break and yeah, my name is Nikolas Kuhabt. I join you from Germany, the wonderful city of Kassel, and I'm a freelance data scientist. I like forecasting time series and about a year ago I read about this forecasting algorithm, which is called Deep AR. It was published by Amazon Research and I got into the algorithm and it has some nice features, so I thought it would be nice to give a talk about it. So first question arises, do we actually need yet another forecasting algorithm? And I would claim yes, the Deep AR algorithm has its right to exist because as I already said, it has some nice features and I think the combination of features the algorithm has makes it really unique and it should be in the toolbox of a data scientist. So let's first understand what this algorithm actually is, what are the features I talked about. So first, this one is already in the title. We have probabilistic forecasting. Just imagine I would tell you tomorrow it's going to be sunny and that's a forecast and you are happy and leave your umbrella at home. And then another time I tell you tomorrow it's going to be sunny with a probability of 60%. So that's now a different information. You may not leave your umbrella at home if you know that it's likely only 60%. And the point is that putting probabilities to our forecast really adds value to our forecast. It's not about the forecast itself but saying how likely the forecast actually is and also to give some boundaries in which the forecast may lie. So that's the big feature of DPR. There are also other algorithms like the ARIMA and regression models which can do it. But not for example if you know deep learning the LSTMs which are neural networks they cannot do it at least not out of the box. Another point is the automatic feature engineering. That's basically what you have when you use neural networks. So you put in the features into the neural network and then neural network somehow models the input in a way that it automatically generates some features. And then we see that the plain LSTMs which are neural networks they can also do it but not our classical approaches like ARIMA and regression models and so on. And the last one is also quite unique to DPR. It says we train one algorithm for multiple time series. So our problem setting is we do not only have one time series but multiple time series which should be related in some way. Yeah but they obviously can differ. And I don't know any approaches classical approaches to forecasting which already cover this that one algorithm learns all time series. There are some concepts which do something similar like meta learning. Meta learning is where you want to learn how to optimize. So you take one time series you learn how you can optimize this time series. And then when you have another time series you already know how to optimize time series and then you can apply this optimization technique. Transfer learning is similar but it does not transfer the optimization strategy but more like the knowledge. So you can think of an algorithm which you have already trained and it has some cool patterns detected and those patterns would also be nice for another time series. And then you transfer this knowledge this is transfer learning. Yeah but our deep AR algorithm does it a little bit different way. We will see soon understand like the intuition behind it. If I talk about the advantages I also have to talk about the disadvantages. What is bad about this algorithm? This basically applies to every neural network. It's time and resource intensive to train. So it's not like you get your results in a minute. And also there are some hyper parameters to set which are not intuitive I would say. And you either need a lot of experience to set them correctly or you just have to try and tune it in iterations. So this also goes together with the first point that it's resource intensive so it takes some time and you cannot set a hyper parameter correctly at the first time. So that might be a long circle of improvements. Okay let's briefly understand how it works just in concept. No deep math. We have our time series. Time series here is the X in the lower part at the bottom. We give our X as the input to our first neural network. The neural network is like the middle part of it. We basically know this from LSTMs. For those of you who are familiar with LSTMs it's not important. But the point is our network has as an output not the prediction but the parameters of a probabilistic function. So let's take an example. We have the Gaussian probabilistic function. And the Gaussian has two parameters. The mean value and the standard deviation. Those are the two parameters which determine the probability function. If we have those two parameters our probability function is clear. And what this neural network now does is it gives us the parameters for the probability function. So output from the network is the mean and the standard deviation. And then we are in the top layer which is CL, L is our probability function. And then we can just sample from the probability function. So if we have the normal distribution we sample from the normal distribution and we get some value. And this is actually our forecast. So that's important to remember. The network doesn't put out the prediction itself with the parameters for the probability function. Then we see we sample from those probability functions. That's basically Z. Okay, that's the sample. And you see the dotted line going from Z down to the next input again. That's where the auto-regressive in the name of deep AR. AR means auto-regressive. That's where it comes from. You just put the sample back in the input again. Now one more remark. If we talk about multiple time series, you can see here's only one X which you have as an input for the network. Now we want to handle multiple time series. How do we do it? Well, basically you have this one architecture. This one architecture you train with every time series. But you have to scale it before you put it into the network. Okay, so that's the crucial part. Scale your input and you're good to have it as an input for the network. One last remark is that if we sample our Z at the top, then we have just one prediction. Now, as we are sampling, we can sample multiple sets. And this is basically what gives us our probabilities. So imagine we sample at the first time step. We sample once, put it back into the input, sample the second example. And then in the third time step and sample the third set. So now we repeat it and we get multiple values for Z1, multiple values for Z2 and so on. And let's say we have sampled 1000 samples. Now we can make the boundaries and say like what's the probability of the prediction being in this corridor. Okay, so sampling multiple times, let's us know the probabilities and give boundaries to our prediction. Now, where can you apply it? And here I have listed just some sample data sets. Some are from the paper, some are from experience I read online. So I think sales at Amazon is maybe the most obvious one because the paper was published by Amazon. And you could imagine like every item in the Amazon store is just one time series. And then you have multiple categories of multiple time series and everyone you want to forecast. And you could also imagine by having only one architecture, one neural network, that somehow the time series will learn from each other. So you forecast one time series and by training on this time series, it will also learn about the other time series. Okay, the second point, sales in stores. I read about it. That's, that was quite interesting in Axel Springer for that, which is basically media company, which sells magazines here in Germany. And they, they want to know like, how probable is it that magazines are running out of stock in a store? Okay, and then every store would be time series. And somehow they share some patterns which the algorithm can learn and then forecast every time series individually. Okay, the second one forecasting load of service in data centers. That's also Amazon. They have the AWS, the cloud service. And I think it makes sense for them to forecast what's the load going to be in the future so that they can provide more infrastructure and give some guarantees for providing infrastructure. The last two examples are from the paper, car traffic would be just watching one lane and see like how many cars pass by the lane. And then you have one lane is one time series and you can predict the traffic. And the last one, you have different households, every household has its own energy consumption. Again, you can imagine, they share some patterns, some similarities, but again, every household is, is different in a way. Okay, and the last one is also which I trained the deep AR algorithm with, which I used for experimenting. Okay, here we just have one sample how it looks like. That's that's basic chart of the energy consumption. And you can clearly see the daily patterns. I forgot the X axis, but at the night it goes quite low the energy consumption and then during the day it goes up again. And just to show you, we have multiple of them. Right. So, here we have eight, but I think in the total data set, there are 350 households with their corresponding energy consumption. Okay. So, like I said, the deep AR algorithm was published by Amazon, and therefore they also integrated it into their system into AWS. And they are machine learning service, they call it Sage maker, Sage maker itself is again big so it has a lot of components. What I used was the Sage maker notebooks. So I just created a notebook, and it's exactly the same as a Jupyter notebook as you know it. Okay, so you just give it an instance name. That's like, which server do you want to use behind the notebook, and you can have like really big servers with GPUs or a small one and then also the costs may differ. So what I found quite interesting is the crown truth in the corner in the left corner for labeling. They integrate the mechanical Turk service, which is a platform for distributing labor to people or small work packages to people. So you can use this platform with crown truth to label your data. Okay, so it will really be provided to people to label your data and then you get your data labeled back. Of course, it costs something, not for free, but I think they do it quite cheaply. Now, let's, let's see what we have to do to get this deep AR algorithm running. That's not to show you how to import in Python, that just to show you what you what we will need for the deep AR algorithm. So first, there's Boto 3. Boto 3 is basically the Python SDK of AWS. Boto 3 lets you access every service in within AWS. But here we have for two services. We have extra imports. We have in the second line the S3 file system. That's the file system service by AWS. So the S3 stands for simple storage service. Okay, so you can save whatever you want. And we need it here to save our results in the steps in between in S3. And then SageMaker, I already told you about what is interesting here is the execution role. Execution role is basically about the permissions. So we are in a notebook instance, and then we want to access S3, the storage. But who tells us if we are allowed to access the S3 storage? Or we want to deploy our algorithm to a server? Who tells us if we are allowed to do it? Amazon has this structure to let the services play together with roles. Okay, so a role is basically a policy which allows you certain things to do with other services. And in our notebook, we get the execution role, and then we are allowed to do whatever we have as a role for our notebook. Okay, and the last one, the AWS API is a little bit different to what we know from SK Learn. For example, and the image URI is basically to tell our algorithm or to tell AWS which algorithm we want to use. Okay, so we don't import XGBoos, we don't import regression, but we get an image for our algorithm. Okay, then the interesting part is how do we need to prepare our data? And here again, it's a little bit different. Normally we are used to pen this data frames. Here it is JSON lines. Every line, every JSON line is one time series. So in total, we see here three time series, and we need to have at least two parameters. We need the start, that's just a timestamp as a string where the time series starts. And then the second one we need is target, and target is the time series itself. So that's what we want to forecast where we are interested in. Okay, then we have two optional parts. The first optional part is cat, which stands for category. So you could imagine this is like a feature which tells about the category of our time series. Let's say we have the energy households, and then maybe we have different categories of households. Like the first one is a family home, the second one is a single home, and I don't know, maybe the third one has a Tesla, which is a different category like that. And then the last part, which is also optional dynamic feed, dynamic feed, which means dynamical feature. This is an additional time series, which gives information about our target series. So you could imagine if we have the households, we want to know the energy, what would be a good dynamical feature, maybe it would be the weather. Okay, if it's nice outside, then maybe people go outside and don't use that much energy. So we could include dynamic feature, the weather or the temperature, but we could also include multiple features, multiple time series. Here it is important that the length of this list in dynamical features, it has to be the same as our target. So for every time point in target, we basically have additional information. Then we have some hyperparameters, which we need. Most of them are just what you know from neural networks. So the first one, time frequency. If you look back at the preparation of our data. Sorry. We just give it the start date, but it doesn't have the information about like how it goes on. And here we have the hyperparameter time frequency, which just says hourly distance between the individual targets. Context length just means how much information do we want to give in order to forecast. And here 72 is just three days. So we take three days to forecast. And that's the next parameter prediction length, next 24 hours. Yeah, I think the other hyperparameters, maybe Gaussian, this is also interesting. Here we give it the probability function we want to use. I told you at the start where we want to sample from. Maybe one short note for the likelihood function or probability function. Two things are important for choosing the probability function. Because because you want to sample from it, you have to make sure that it's easy to sample from it. Otherwise, it will take a lot of resources. And second, you also need the gradient from the probability function. So make sure that you can calculate the gradient from the probability function. Okay, otherwise it's the same as we know from neural networks. So let's see what we need for training them. First, we initiate a session that's a SageMaker session. Then I told you about the execution role. That's where we get the permissions from. And then here last, you see the image URI and here it says forecasting AR. So that's where we tell it which algorithm we want to use. And then we put the information together and we can start training. So we initiate an estimator. We give it the session, the image name, the role. And what is also interesting, we give it the instance, the name of the instance we want to use. That's basically just a server. And Amazon tells you how much the server costs. And if you have a bigger one, training goes faster, but it's also more expensive. And I use the C4 X large, it costs about, I think 45 cents per hour. Okay, but training for the energy households, it took less than an hour. So I think I paid about 50 cents for the whole. Okay, and then the S3 bucket, that's where we save our results. Okay, and in the last line, we just give it the parameters from the slides before. Okay. Now we start the fitting process or the training process. Here again, it looks a little bit different how we give the data to the fit. And we make it with S3 buckets. So in our S3 buckets, the data is saved as the JSON lines. And we give it as a parse name. That's two minutes. Okay. So we give data channels to the estimator. We start the fit process. And yeah, it works. So nothing more to do. What we have to do now at the end is to deploy it. Again, this is quite easy with AWS. You take the job name and you tell SageMaker make an endpoint. And this endpoint, there is the model deployed. And you can basically query it. Okay. So again, we have to give it an instance here. It's a slightly smaller server. And then there's the model deployed. And you could, for example, use REST to query this model and get your predictions back. So this is quite clever. I think this approach is quite good. Okay. So what's left? Let's look at two examples. We again see the daily patterns and we see the 80% confidence interval. And we see that most of the time, the time series actually is within the 80% interval. And we also see that we have two different patterns here, but they are both quite well fitted. And the last one, again, slightly bit, little bit different patterns, but again, quite good fitted. And also in the last one, in the lower one, you see the weekly patterns, like five days. And then you have the two weekends here. Okay. And the two weekends are also captured by the forecasting algorithm. Okay. This concludes my talk. Thanks for listening. Feel free to ask me questions afterwards. Thank you very much for your talk. We have time for one or two questions quickly. I see there are no questions yet in the Q&A section. I do have two questions actually. One is not really related to the content of your talk. It's more of what's your setup? Did you have a screen screen? No, I didn't do it. Yeah. Okay. I can start my camera and then you should... Oh, yeah. That's perfect. And you run the software with your whole screen. OBS. Oh, okay. So you go full screen and go share your screen. Okay. It's just not related to the talk. I have another question related to the talk. It's about deep AR. It's an Amazon algorithm, but I saw there are some open source solutions too. Did you test them and are they reliable? So I did not test. I also saw them. They are by implemented mainly in PyTalk. And I think one or two implementations are in TensorFlow, but I've not tested them. Okay. Great. Thank you very much again. And if there are more questions, please go to the Discord channel. Just with command K, you can search forecast and then you will find the channel and then ask more questions to Nikolas. Okay. Thank you very much again. Thank you.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQvHESgqFcU", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

[ "Winter wheat", "prevent plant", "green bridge", "rotations", "nitrogen", "phosphorous", "winter survival", "wheat", "winter wheat survival", "winter cereals", "Ducks Unlimited", "NDSU", "NDSU Extension" ]	2011-07-28T16:43:48	2024-04-18T17:57:35	3,579	ZqbclGavXeI	We will have five presenters this morning. We'll try to keep the presentations to 50 minutes so there'll be time for questions. We will not be cut off at an hour but nevertheless we are kind of hopeful we can keep this to an hour. The first presentation will be by myself. I'll be followed by Steve Dvorak who will talk about the benefits of Winter Wheat. We'll then hear from Blake van der Borst. We'll talk about winter wheat establishment. John Lukas will talk about nitrogen phosphate fatality and finally Marcia will address the issues of winter wheat disease management. Well let me dive in then talking about winter wheat and prevent plant acres. As you know we have a lot of prevent plant acres out there and there seems to be a great deal of interest in planting winter wheat this fall. One of the obvious advantages of doing so is that you'll have a crop that will be there in the spring. If our spring is going to be wet it's difficult to get into the field like it's been the last few years at least there's a crop there. I've heard a lot of farmers this year say their best crop was winter wheat because of that very issue. So what are some of the issues then we need to be aware of with regard to planting winter wheat on prevent plant acres? First of all and say that winter wheat does meet the requirements of a cover on prevent plant acres whether it is planted with or without what we call a residue crop. If it is planted it cannot be hayed or grazed prior to November 1st. Now you know normally we would think that's not an issue but you know if someone was planting winter wheat now and wanted to use it as a fodder to graze it it would not be acceptable until after the first of November. One maybe disadvantage of a winter wheat crop as a cover crop is that there will be limited summer water use. I think as we look at the situation at the moment that may not be much of an issue because it might be difficult to plant any kind of cover crop until later in the year anyway. What do we want to consider when we're planting winter wheat on prevent plant acres? I think first of all we we want to use site selection that will favor winter wheat. We want to consider previous residue management planting date, weed and volunteer control and management practices that enhance winter wheat survival because in many cases we will be planting into a situation that is probably suboptimal for winter survival. Talk about site selection. Number one if you've got fields that have standing stubble I would say that's our number one choice because standing stubble is going to catch snow, insulate winter wheat and just reduce the risk that we have of winter kill. So select fields that have the most direct previous crop residues either small grain or canola and I know there are some no-peel situations out there where there may be some reasonable standing stubble still after this summer of heavy rains and you might as a second option you might consider fields where volunteer crops such as small grains, canola or flax are stabbly sufficiently dense that if they are terminated that they could catch snow through winter months. I know there's a lot of volunteer canola fields out there and not exactly sure what time you need to start the termination process to get ahead of any seed set but you know that could be an option for establishing a residue or planting into a residue. The next one I would say consider fields without standing residue that have some protection from winter winds either adjacent to shelter belts, avoiding hill tops and those kinds of things. Well for those how do we manage the residue I would say we want to minimize wheel tracks if you are going to plant into an existing residue that's probably beat up a little bit already trying to do most of your spraying based on the same tracks that have already been there. Another option is that we consider establishing a residue crop we've had a lot of discussion about what might be a reasonable residue crop small grain seemed to be an obvious option because it's relatively cheap seed and I think if we did plant towards the end of July the period we're entering into we could probably develop a reasonable stubble. I think the concerns that I have is that to be in compliance with prevent plant provisions it cannot be wind road prior to that November 1st date and so you are going to be left with a pretty tall heavy residue to plant into. I think the other issue with a small grain crop is that breaking the grain bridge will be problematic. The most commonly recommended residue crop would be flax strips or flax solid seeded and the planting date for those is fast approaching I would say that we'd want to have that in by the 1st of August in most parts of the state. You can use a solid seeded three to four foot wide rows or strips that are three to five foot apart that have a spacing of about 15 feet. You want to keep the seeding rate relatively high if you're going into strips but for the most part want to be as economical as possible in your seed cost. The next option is planting date you want to select the date that it seems to be critical. The normal delicate balance of planting either too early and having problems or planting too late and not having a sufficiently strong plant to carry it through the winter. In the northern tier our recommended planting dates that kind of that 1st of November to 1st of September to 15th of September. If you've got a lot of grain tissue around that may you may be just kind of in the middle of that would be recommended. Too early will predispose crops to winter injury and it may also increase it will definitely increase the risk of wheat streak mosaic. Earlier are there's just more grain tissue around more opportunity for that might to fly into the area or be carried into the area. Of course planting too late you end up with a small plant that may not develop well and our recent research we found that planting date you know and being in that earlier range of a planting date certainly helps provide some winter hardiness. You want to have good weed and volunteer control because you want to break the green bridge and Marsha will talk a little bit more about wheat streak mosaic but certainly a two-week break is minimal making sure there's no green grasses or volunteer cereal plants. They will there's a high risk that they will have the wheat streak mosaic and if they are green when the winter wheat comes and emerges that that that means that there's a bridge they might can go directly from one green plant to another carry the virus with it. So I think in the area where we've got lots of volunteers out there and weeds scrappy weeds want to do a good job of weed control prior prior to planting. So what are some other options we might have when we're planting it to stubble into a field that does not have stubble. We want to certainly manage to increase winter survival. As I mentioned go on the earlier side of the planting date choose varieties that are at least as winter hardy as Jerry and I think in following speakers we'll talk about some of those options are available. Applying some phosphorus with the seed can improve survival not and so that might be another option that you might consider. So I think with that I just again recommend that I believe that winter wheat does provide a great option for some of those prevent plant acres that needs to be managed in a way that we enhance winter survival and I did in this presentation offer a few suggestions that would help us in that regard. Thank you. Good morning everybody. Hope everybody is doing well. Steve DeVore here with DU. Just wanted to before I get into answering some of the why questions as to reasons that growers would consider planting winter wheat or incorporating that into your rotation. A couple housekeeping things I did notice there's not a lot of questions coming in. We are going to save questions to the end but if you've got questions on your mind and you want to make sure you get addressed we can start logging those now. So on the lower left if you want to enter in some questions in the box there I would encourage you to do so and we'll keep track of those and address those at the end. So that's sad I'll move along. First of all you know there's there's multiple reasons to consider winter wheat and hopefully we'll touch on some of the highlights. I think I've got five focused reasons but obviously are more than what we've got here. The number one reason most growers will tell us that they've included winter wheat in their crop rotation is the benefits they see in spreading the workload. Being able to get a portion of your crop seeded in the fall certainly is attractive and beneficial and brings sanity back to our springs hopefully when we're battling the calendar and and Mother Nature that doesn't always cooperate. Not only on your planting operations but also your harvest schedule is started earlier in the summer so we can spread the workload when it comes to harvest time as well. And then lastly I would point out that there is an opportunity depending on your situation to improve your capital use efficiency. In theory you should be able to do more acres with the same equipment or do the same number of acres with smaller or less equipment. But anyway spreading the workload is is the most common and the most common cited reason that most people will include or like to have winter wheat in their rotation. You will not see crop rotation benefits is one listed here. I would like to mention that one of our key growers says that winter wheat does rotate very well with Arizona in the winter. So maybe that's something else to consider. Secondly not only does it spread your workload but it reduces your workload. If you look at the estimations with the North Dakota Farm and Ranch Business Management Program as far as how much labor is required per acre by crop winter wheat is one of the least requirements for labor according to their estimations averaged over the last seven years. 1.1 hours of labor per acre for winter wheat versus 1.1 and a quarter hours for soybeans and 1.6 hours for corn. If you do the math a 6,000 acre farm corn soybean rotation if you would diversify and go to a third corn a third soybeans and a third wheat with half of those wheat acres being winter wheat the workload actually on an annual basis would have been reduced by about 600 hours. So that's like 10 weeks of vacation for somebody. So it's not just spreading the workload but oftentimes will reduce the workload. Third reason that and maybe most important is profitability and I think that's a question that a lot of people have or believe that winter wheat is not profitable or not competitive relative to the other choices you might have. And so what I did going back to an unbiased source of information with real numbers from real producers looking at the farm and ranch business management programs from both North and South Dakota and both of them showing that winter wheat is very competitive and I'll show you those numbers in a little bit but basically to summarize it before I show you the numbers and overwhelm you when compared to the big three corn soybeans and spring wheat winter wheat on average over the last seven years has been more profitable than spring wheat in both North Dakota and South Dakota and all three crops in South Dakota. So here are those numbers just looking at net return on labor and management and having the North Dakota numbers separate out from South Dakota you'll you'll see how they compare. I would note that the North Dakota numbers are only from cash rent acres and in South Dakota they don't make that distinction but in North Dakota it's it's the cash rent reported acres in that program trying to make sure we have a represented land charge in the cost. But you look at the variability over years from 2004 to 2010 you see that some years one crop is the most profitable and next year something else and I think that's part of the message is that in the old days when grapple was farming and you didn't have a lot of the risk management tools and government programs and insurance that we have today he managed his risk by by diversifying and not putting all of his eggs in one basket and I think that that message is still true today and it's still a viable risk management approach and we'll point out if you look at the the red circles in the lower right or the right side of the tables that winter wheat was the most profitable crop of the four in North Dakota two out of the seven years and in South Dakota four out of the seven years. Now fourth reason to consider winter wheat is risk management and I'll go through several issues or or sub topics within risk management the first one being exposure risk if you look at the same database from from the farm and ranch guide or the farm and ranch business management programs when it comes to total input costs spring wheat winter wheat soybeans are all similar from 200 to 250 bucks an acre to put the crop in relative to corn which is 400 bucks an acre now there's much less cash outlay and much less exposure risk with with winter wheat especially relative to something like corn secondly environmental risk when I talk about environmental risk I'm talking mostly about our year to year climate variability and not being able to forecast with any measure of much confidence what kind of the year we're going to have when it's when it's crop planting time some years the row row crops the row crops the full season corn and soybeans are favored some years the small grains the cool season crops are favored not being able to know what the year's going to bring again not putting all of your eggs in one basket tends to make some some sense I will note that when it comes to the weeks spring wheat versus winter wheat there are different environmental risk spring wheat is susceptible to the heat that comes in the summer it becomes too early the heat that pollination time will put a lid on the yield potential of that crop whereas winter wheat has primarily in large part already got a lot of yield made on the converse side winter wheat is is prone to winter injury and I think that's a big concern a lot of people have and I think it's a little bit a little bit over over overly feared if you look at just the mass numbers the national ag statistics service on their abandonment rates over the last 10 years the average abandonment rate for winter wheat and you assume a large part of that is because the winter kill is about 10 percent but nonetheless spring wheat still has about a 5 percent advantage rate from flooding from hail from drought who knows so it really is not as big of a deal as as most people think and with aggressive management making sure the residue and the stubble is addressed and a good winter hardy variety is is chosen the risk of winter kill is much much lower than most people think thirdly under risk management need to consider crop insurance benefits and this may be true in North Dakota for certain but in North Dakota spring wheat and winter wheat classes are combined when improving your yields and because of winter wheat's higher yield potential the benefit not only for the winter wheat acres is applied to the spring wheat and improving up your wheat yields and increasing your level of coverage and protection for not only your winter wheat acres but also for your spring wheat acres and here here is a mass numbers again as far as yield spring wheat versus winter wheat over the last 20 years in North Dakota you can see the trend both both yields of both of both crops are improving but winter wheat probably at a faster pace and the gap tends to be or trending to widen even as time goes on and again largely a lot of that yield advantage from the winter wheat is because of it avoids a lot of that early heat that puts a lid on on the yields of spring wheat and lastly under risk management and the hot topic of this year is all the pre prevent plant frustrations that we're dealing with and and again just better odds of getting the ground that is prone to getting too wet seeded in the fall then in the spring and the last thing I'd mentioned would be environmental benefits reducing soil erosion most of our erosion whether it's wind or water occurs either late fall and more so early spring when we don't have a lot of actively growing crop or plants out on the landscape and that's a nice benefit the winter wheat provides is that it does provide that cover that actively growing crop when others are yet to be seeded and the reduction in in overland water erosion reducing sedimentation and nutrient movement over the landscape and secondly improving water quality from that benefit also since we have an actively growing crop in the fall and early spring when a lot of water is moving through the profile we can capture some of that nitrogen and sulfur that is prone to leaching with an actively growing crop like winter wheat another thing that I'd like to mention environmentally that is a big benefit and I think a growing issue is the saline affected soils most winter wheat have some level of salt tolerance but generally we see that in the fall when we're seeding winter wheat the salt accumulation on the surface oftentimes isn't as great as early in the summer or some rainfall events in the late summer can can leach it deeper and we just don't have as much problem getting a crop established and then lastly because we have an actively growing crop early in the spring again when most of our salts are accumulating because the water is just evaporating off the surface the crop is actually using the water instead of being allowing it to evaporate and lastly winter wheat is wildlife friendly both ducca and pheasants find it very attractive for nesting and nesting success because there's little spring disturbance uh is greatly improved for post pieces so with that I think I'd use more than my share of time I'll turn it over to Blake. Thank you Steve and I'd like to thank NDSU and Dr. Ransom and Dr. Mullen for hosting this webinar and utilizing NDSU facilities to do so so thank you very much. I'm going to cover some of the similar things that Dr. Ransom covered but more from a continuous cropping perspective planting winter wheat into canola stubble, fox stubble, piece stubble, spring wheat stubble and so on so the the angle will be slightly different but but very similar and so I'll probably be able to shape a little time off here. I just want to talk a little bit about again that importance of prior crop for and why it is important. One is you want to select the prior crop that hopefully we'll have early harvest that will allow you to have a seeding date that's compatible with the winter wheat to to have proper plant development and with also with that prior crop then you want a crop that has standing residue following harvest and you want to manage that standing residue so you have the adequate height to ensure winter wheat survival with adequate snow catch. Take for example if you are using a small grain as a prior cover crop you know the minimum they say is you need six inches my preference would be is that you probably had 10 to 14 inches of wheat stubble or oar stubble or barley stubble if that's the crop you choose to seed into if you're planting into a piece stubble or a lentil stubble or something like that then you need to take into consideration your variety selection and then obviously your coltons because you have very little snow catch or soybean stubble is another example of that and then conversely if you have the less dense residues in terms of stems per square put such as canola and flax there you want taller stubble generally you you like to see a a 12 inch or eight or stubble height on on those particular crops but those two crops make make for good rotation for for a number of reasons also if you have an early harvested crop prior to the winter wheat you have an opportunity for soil water recharge and for for better establishment of the winter wheat crop and that winter wheat seedling for all the winter survival you've heard a lot about wheat streak mosaic and you'll hear it probably from almost each of the speakers it's a really critical issue but the prior crop can have an impact on that if you if you have volunteer grains coming up in your prior crop small grain stubbles you enhance your opportunities for contracting the wheat streak mosaic virus because of the wheat pearl mite and so again the canola flax rotation thing is is desirable from that standpoint also if you have that break between the prior crop harvest and winter wheat seeding data gives you opportunities to to do some weed control and those things are all critical components of of selecting that prior crop this is some data from from Dr. Ransom and Dr. McMullen's trials at prosper North Dakota back in 2003 and 2004 year and it's the effect of the crop residue and the variety on winter survival if you look at the top four varieties the Seward Alcorn Falcon and Jerry they're all considered to have good coal tolerance and then if you look at the Jagalain Millennium New Plains and Harry they're considered to be you know fair to poor coal tolerance then if you look at the two residue crops that he has their soybean residue and wheat residue you can see that those four less winter hardy crops rolling in that 20 to 30 percent yield level and you can look at the more winter hardy ones that having a 60 to 70 survival rate and so if you look at the yield graph which I did not bring here today but the yields are considerably higher obviously for those that had good survival or if you look at the wheat residue you can see they were all in that that 50 to 70 percent range and you pretty much negated any yield differences when you you look at the yields in the wheat residue from those varieties so one of the things that we kind of noticed over the course of the years is you can get 45 to 50 percent survival and generally that negates the survival issue differences in terms of yield the other thing that I just wanted to mention from a survival standpoint is is to try to avoid harrowing fall following the prior crop harvest seems like once you go through those fields with a harrow it has a tendency to lay the stubble down once you go through it with a drill has a tendency to weaken the base of that that prior crop residue so the top two photos are actually from Wells County and the road dividing them was right there so they're right across the road from each other both were jerry variety and and both hadn't had to start your treatment so everything was pretty similar with exception one had harrowed in the other one and not and the residue was down after seeding on the one field the other shot is close by that same field the same year it was in a pea field and you can see the importance not only a standing residue but of a little bit of surface residue just to simply delay some of that snow mountain spring of the year and to stop the breaking of the dormancy too early Jill mentioned we talked a little bit about varieties obviously the characteristics probably are the primary concern but there are others as well one is grower obviously is yield two is winter hardiness and when we talk with growers before we we even start talking varieties about the first question we ask is what are you going to be planning into you're planning into pea or slaving stubble versus planning into weed or canola stubble it opens up a whole different selection of varieties that you can choose from based on winter hardiness so that's one of the first questions we ask and then quickly narrows down varieties and and then you can get into the straw length and strength which is is critical the disease and the quality and the maturity issues and many of the growers are if they're looking at managing intensively for high yields adding additional nitrogen and using fungicide programs will have a desire to go to the shorter straw and stronger straw varieties we look at those varieties broken it into kind of three groupings by colors the group with the yellow are considered to be our good coal tolerances you get into the expedition balkan herding limo striping yellowstone they're they're just a notch below that and then as you get into the older than the west leaves millennium hawkins are it's jagalins that was sort of where you where you probably only have fair coal tolerance to to minus fair type coal and tolerances so keep those in mine and then please keep in mind what the conditions are that the grower will be seeded into as you select these varieties just going to mention two of these these releases actually that are currently that are current or within the last year sci-wolf is being released this year by agro coal and will be going only to your seed associates this fall and so seed will not be available till a year from now but it's a short variety similar to jagalins if you're familiar or hawkin and it has very good straw strength probably the best straw strength of any varieties we're testing in our plots right now has high yield potential very good these disease package again most of these varieties are susceptible to scab and so those will be some of the things you'll need to consider decade is a new release a joint release from the montana state breeding program being joined to release by nbsu looks very good again very susceptible to scab is also very susceptible to to the leaf rust and straight plus complex so girl need to manage for those things we're a little have some questions yet as to the coltons of the sci-wolf we haven't had a good read on the last two years so it'll be another issue we'll have to to watch out for planning day I'll approach it just from a little different angle and Joel did I agree with Joel's listing so um something jokin version and I talked about from the University of Minnesota is is it should be early enough to have a two or three leaf seedling before dormancy but it should be late enough to allow effective control of winter annual perennial weeds and it should be late enough to avoid the green bridge and problems will hessify and wheat street was like virus in the bar the olivore virus um wheat chrome light spreads the wheat street and the aphid spreads the bar the olivore and as you move your seeding date later into september though the activity of both of those insects decreases and so your risk of infection really decrease decreases one thing I just highlighted in white there was do not seed in august and please communicate that message to yourself as a grower or to you as a synagogue and again that seeding date depends on breaking the green bridge and the geography of what you're in uh seeding depth one to one and a half inches that's what I call the zone and you can see by looking at the chart there those plants that were seeded at two inches or less have a fairly visible crown or excuse me a crown yes crown and uh with substantial size and that's your overwintering mechanism for the winter leaf plant and so you can see those plants that were seeded at four or two and a half inches uh you can barely observe the crown on either of those and both of those plants died in this circumstance in the field setting so get that seeding depth up there at one to one and a half inches is that crown this desire is to set up at three quarters of an inch to about an inch in the soil depending on the seeding depth and that initially then as soon as the plant breaks the surface it will initiate the development of that crown seeding rate research shows that 900,000 to 1 million pure lives seeds per acre can attain the maximum yield however our environment and our seeding conditions aren't always ideal and we do recommend a 1.2 million pure live seed seeding rate and possibly increasing that as you move into the latter part of september the reason for that is obviously winter wheat can at winter kill uh your late seeding dates will have a less developed plant and a more poorly developed crown you can have dry soil conditions at seeding and a number of other issues and and so we've uh slowly increased that that rate we recommend seed treatments you look at some of the vision data over a three-year period at five locations and four of those five locations showed a very nice response to seed treatment in winter wheat we also heard about phosphorus and we'll hear some more from John about that I just look at the first three bars of zero p 25 pound p and 50 pound p from three years or excuse me five locations over the last year of research with ducks on limited trials and you can see that winter wheat responds very well and those sites range from very low to very high tests for the phosphorus so just in summary make sure you you look at your prior crop and you manage that prior crop harvest so you keep adequate standing residue and you spread that residue and chat with the combine and try to avoid the harrow variety selection is critical and it starts with with standing residue and and winter hardiness of the variety managed for wheat street mosaic break that green bridge planning date is is based on the wheat street mosaic virus and the geography within which you live and the conditions which you have so the planning rate again 1.2 million pure live seed planting depth one to one and a half inches and we encourage you to use seed treatment and phosphate starter and be sure to check out our website www.winterserials.us you might notice from indecision on picking that's my first time on this type of deal there with that i'm going to give you a little bit on fertility it needs to be fast and brief so i skipped over a couple things there with that i'm going to skip the nitrogen fungicide interaction i think you know it's a tremendously important part of winter wheat if you want to raise the high yields i'm going to talk a little bit about a couple things that aren't quite as obvious that's with the starter phosphorus this is some data from 85 86 from up in manitoba we're working with phosphorus across the bottom scale there with the low to medium soil tests nitrogen on the bars as you move back take a look at that without nitrogen on the the phosphorus rates in the front here you see a five bushel yield gain on the low testing soils there from phosphorus without nitrogen and you get the huge increase in yield from the first increments of nitrogen but you still see a five bushel per acre increase due to the phosphorus and you take the nitrogen up to where you should be managing it and you get some more yield increase from the nitrogen but suddenly that five bushel increase moves to a 17 bushel yield increase from the phosphorus they complement each other if you want to raise high yield there work it as a package um this is some data there from the du agronomist there the locations are on the bottom north coated south coated five site average in 2010 and again we're looking at phosphorus this time we're working with medium and high testing soils and the responses to the phosphorus aren't quite as big there or dramatic i should say but this compares them to no fungicide and with fungicide and again you see that that increase even with the phosphorus there when you're picking up some additional yield from the phosphorus or from the fungicide there the higher rate of phosphorus will complement it so just trying to emphasize that package deal there in terms of pulling in the highest profitability you can um this is some of the data from eight location average northeast north Dakota 2009 and 2010 there with its nitrogen rates there from no nitrogen and 30 pound acre months up to 150 pounds of nitrogen the with that all this was put on early spring there with streamer tips in uam there and it shows basically what they've showed for the for the spring weeks there in terms of the increasing yield curve with increasing increments in nitrogen there on up to 150 and extending on beyond there like the spring wheat there the protein increases are coming in there what's critical here is we're up to 150 pounds of nitrogen and we're still having reached that 12 percent level of protein where the discounts start there and the discounts can be quite severe i think you know that so i want to talk a little bit about what to do there and yeah i did make it okay this is that same data chart with a bunch more wording and and a couple things added to it the first is these green triangles those are a split nitrogen application there were 30 pounds of nitrogen was applied in early spring and 30 pounds of nitrogen was put on at five leach stage there you see in this case across eight locations i'm actually picking a little yield bump up over that 60 pound rate and a little bit of protein as well i don't know if i quite believe that what you really should expect from in season applications is equal to if you put it all on that assumes it got rained in and that you you really needed it and where the advantage is is if you do have that wet spring and you have nitrogen available from either fall applied or early spring applied or high nitrogen test levels from prevented plant there you can get away with delaying a little bit there so springs like last spring you can still get that nitrogen on there but you've got to have some to start with the other part of this is the red circles and that's the 30 pounds of nitrogen early spring 30 pounds of nitrogen post flower for a protein application and like you would expect there's no difference in yields there but there is a whole percent increase in protein in this case there and with that the thing that bothers me is if we take in this 30 pounds put on post supply post flower and put it on the spring we would have got an additional seven bushels and the proper stability would have been better so you need to take a couple of management practices here and you need to transfer them up to the higher spring nitrogen or all nitrogen rates there to bump that 12 percent protein level and get everything you can out of the yield okay the other part of that with the nitrogen and winter wheat is preventing the end loss the long-term standard is the application of urea on the surface for winter wheat and long-term we know it works great if you get rained right after application but if you don't get rained right after application you're going to take some losses with that the end volatilization there from that it's really hard to estimate we know we don't lose it all in any case there but I think pretty often we're losing some of it there and there's no way to estimate an average independent there to each situation one thing to remember is the end loss increase potential increases as your surface residue levels increase there with that it's a urease activity enzyme activity that volatilizes the nitrogen more surface residue contact with the with the urea increases the losses and what you can do about that is agertain I don't have time to go into detail on it but it does work in terms of stopping those losses from urea for 10 to 14 days there and basically all you're doing is allowing more time for that rainfall event to occur there the other part of that is there's more and more of the producers are putting on nitrogen either some there a few guys are going to all the nitrogen at seeding time and fall application it too works but you're at the same or worse scenario for losses there then if you're putting on the fall anhydrous there anhydrous harden urea it's going to be nitrate you've got potential from leaching on sands there heavy rain spring and fall and last spring I think you experienced the some serious denitrification when you have the saturated soils when it's wet so I am out of time so I'm going to stop there and I'll turn it over to Marsha. Well good morning everybody this is Marsha McMullen from the extension service and I'm going to talk a little bit about the diseases that are a challenge to winter wheat production and there are a number listed here similar to spring wheat as well but some of the challenges are that winter wheat has less resistance to these diseases but first of all I'm going to speak about the viruses wheat streak mosaic and barley elidor there are a number of rusts that will attack winter wheat the fungal leaf plot complex includes tan plot and septoria cesarium headlight is also a threat to winter wheat production and finally I'll just mention bacterial leaf streaks Joel and Blake already talked about wheat streak mosaic virus but I think this is going to be one of the biggest challenges this year to make sure that we don't have opportunity for this disease to get established in your winter wheat crops and I think winter wheat streak mosaic is a very devastating disease this is a picture of volunteers infected with wheat streak mosaic virus and also a picture of the wheat curl might it is only one hundredth of an inch long so you can't detect it in your volunteers or your crops and it does not have wings but it crawls up to plants that are infected or are maturing and positions of body perpendicular to the surface so that winds can carry it to adjacent crops and of course this year we've had a lot of wind and so those might may have moved a little further than their traditional half mile or so so we need to as Joel and Blake mentioned we need to break the green bridge there are a lot of opportunities for the the wheat curl might to survive wheat is its favorite host but it can also survive on corn grassy and certain grassy weeds and a few other small green crops and so we are looking at breaking the green bridge this fall preventing grassy weeds or volunteers in those fields that winter wheat is going to be planted to and I guess the trick is to not have any dirty fields that you're planting into and by dirty fields we don't mean noticeably dirty from the road we mean walk into those fields and if you see any surviving grassy weeds or volunteers that probably isn't good enough and they have to be controlled two weeks prior to planting and then Joel and Blake also talked about the planting date so this is the key this fall because this is disease control there are no rescue treatments that have to be managed through these strategies the other yet virus disease which came quite a bit this year in spring and winter weeds is the late season symptoms you see here on the left of barley yellow dwarf virus and earlier we saw some pale yellow to golden yellow of the flag leaf before the crop had fully developed and this is a virus disease transmitted by grain aphids and this year they came into North Dakota quite early and transmitted the virus the barley yellow dwarf virus into the crop the primary method of management for barley yellow dwarf is a foot control with scouting and determining if there is a risk for this disease the other one of the other problems with a lot of winter wheat varieties is that they are half some susceptibility to the rust the fungal leaf swaps and also cesarium headlight and as we get more information and improvement in varieties we hope to manage these diseases with variety resistance but we also think that at this time fungicides are very key to managing these diseases and of course early season applications of fungicides are used for early tan spot control and then flowering applications are fungicides are used to manage late season leaf spots and scabs there is some question about a flag leaf application as well last year when we had a lot of stripe rust I thought this may have been beneficial but without severe rust pressure which we are not seeing this year I think the early season and the flowering applications are adequate and some of the data I'm going to show has information about those two treatments and as was mentioned earlier we have a lot of susceptibility to some of these diseases in the varieties that are there that you have available and this is some information from Carrington in 2010 where they evaluated winter wheat varieties for susceptibility to tan spot and you can see there is a variation in variety response decade did not have a lot of tan spot susceptibility for example but when we would go to leaf leaf rust susceptibility decade is one of the most susceptible so there is very few varieties that have good response or good tolerance to all the diseases and so fungicides are always of a benefit for winter wheat and of course we know that fusarium headlight or scab is also a problem in our winter wheat crop currently we hope that crop rotation will help reduce the risk and overland is one of the better winter wheat varieties and I've also been told Lyman is quite good as well but I also think that fungicides are required for helping reduce the risk of fusarium headlight. This is some of the information provided to me summarized from Joel Ransom's work in 2007 and 2008 and he was comparing the response to fungicides among 20 spring wheat varieties versus 20 winter wheat varieties and you can see that in 2007 he had a much greater response in the winter wheat than he did in the spring wheat and in 2008 almost no response among the spring wheat varieties but oh approximately 18 bushel response in the winter wheat so we know that fungicides are very beneficial for winter wheat production. Excuse me I couldn't see what I needed to do next. Okay I'm going to skip this slide but I'm going to show a summary of some data from last year provided to me by Blake Vanderhorst and this is a summary of some ducks on limited locations of winter wheat in North Dakota and South Dakota and it shows how varieties responded to the use of fungicides. It was an early season application of strutigo plus herbicide at four to five leaf stage and then prosaeroa early flowering and you can see all the varieties performed quite well in response to fungicides a few better than others and then there was also an economic analysis done with these studies comparing economic return at six dollars per bushel wheat versus nine dollars and all of them were profitable and certainly some were more profitable than others at both wheat prices but there was never a non-profitable response to fungicides and finally I just wanted to mention that there is another disease of leaves and heads of wheat called bacterial leaf streak and black chaff and this year we're seeing quite a bit of this as well because we've had so many rains and winds associated with those rains creating wounds in the leaf and head surfaces that allow these bacteria to infect and we have to remind our growers that fungicides do not work to control the bacterial leaf streak but I do think that the response to fungicides will still be there even in the presence of bacterial leaf streak and so our breeders have our new breeder winter wheat breeder has quite a bit of challenges ahead of him with an opportunity to make vast improvements I think in disease tolerance and resistance and now I think we have an opportunity for a question we're going to turn on the lecture mode so you don't actually have to type your question if there's we have any questions out there lecture mode is now off okay so marcia we have a lot of late seeded corn and spring grain meaning that we have green host plants well into september is there any data indicating whether conditions where my activity is reduced so producers have a better chance of deciding when to plant to avoid wheat streak mosaic seems temperature in the fall are still high at least in the early part of the planting window yes we're going to have a challenge this year because there's going to be so much more green corn and perhaps some green spring wheat nearby as well as far as the environmental conditions that might help reduce the risk of might development movement into winter wheat we need cold and dry just warm warm temperatures are not not going to they would allow a mite reproduction and movement more rapidly at least cooler temperatures would be more beneficial and that's why we wait until later part of the september to plant is because the might might not nearly as active when the temperatures start to drop so far that's the only question we see on our question box are there there certainly must be other questions if you want to just press the if you want to ask a question rather than type it you got to press the talk button and hold it while you talk i think if you're on a pc you can do that with a control or with the mouse with the control key and talk okay we have a question from chris uh i have a bean and corn rotation but would like to add winter wheat i own land and rent to renter need help in selling the value of adding winter wheat to rotation for soil health and profitability i am set in south central south dakota you want to take that as far as needing help in selling the benefits if you're looking from an economic standpoint i can send you all the data that i've summarized chris just dropped me an email as far as the improvements to soil health and goes i can give you a whole list i can generate one but as far as science documenting improvements over optional crop rotations that don't include winter wheat i'm not aware of where that data may be i don't think it exists but you know i can make i can give you a whole list of benefits that actually we've got the document set up so chris or anybody else if you want to request information in more detail than what we're shared you should be able to send any of us an email and make those requests and we'll respond and again all of our contact information with du is is found at our website www.wintersherials.us and then of course the ndsu folks you know how to find find them and get a hold of that but i would i would suggest chris that you just send me a request and i'll i'll flood you with information in detail that i can't share right now the top of it can i get a question the one thing i would i would comment on there chris just to follow up to steeves would be is that if you're in a corn bean rotation there there should be data available at universities and possibly through ars regarding adding wheat to a rotation to that type of rotation and i think we could probably find some things on organic matter soil carbon and some of those types of things out there in those archives we might have to do some digging to find that i know the rs station at mandan north coast for example did a a rotation that included wheats and the row cops versus some of the other things and and i know they've done a great job of pulling together some of that that soil type data i think i was just going to comment on rogers comment and i don't want to hit on this a little bit on the wheat street issue and and having the the neighboring crops green crops there and and that is an issue and and and we do need to be cognizant of what is around that field you're planning to plant to winter wheat and maybe another reason for delaying that seeding date uh further into september so so please keep that in mind and i think the other thing within that field that you're planning to winter wheat as well uh if you sprayed the roundup burn down in late august or early september and you're waiting the two weeks for the volunteers to die let's say it's it stays cool and wet like it has the last two septembers it takes a long time for those volunteers to die and and if you've had a couple more inch hours you've probably got some more volunteer wheat if you're in a wheat stubble crop for example coming up and you may not have done an adequate job of breaking that green grid and so if you have not done that that's a situation where you need to delay that seeding date into the latter part of september and possibly even do a second burn down application consider second application one thing that that we have done on some of our plots and we've ended up doing seeding late in september each of the last two years because of that issue we will take that second application to just small plants and use a grimoxilum type product that will take the volunteers out in a two or three day period if you have sunshine but the sunshine is critical part of making grimoxilum work so that'd be one option to consider instead of the second application round but yes thanks for that comment Chris Steve and I've talked about this quite a bit to our tours and their educational opportunities and your comment about adding winter wheat to the rotation gives the the producer an opportunity to plant a cover crop or a manure crop following the winter wheat and that's particularly true in southern South Dakota but would would be more critical even here in North Dakota because our choices are much more limited with our shorter growing season. Blake, do you touch again on the flak seeding rates if people want to put that in the next week? Well I'll have I'll have Blake follow up but as I recall that a typical full seeding rate is 40 pounds sound about right? So if you're solid seeding a normal crop you set it 40 pounds so if you're going to do strips you'd want to keep that rate at 40 pounds that's a full rate but you know as you tape over or whatever you might do to shut off the other openers you're obviously going to put a lot less than that 40 pounds out and if you are going to solid seed then I would I would say a half or a 20 pounds kind of maximum oh sorry six to eight pound solid if you're if you're going to do it solid I was thinking if you skip a couple of rows in that kind of scenario then you could go with kind of set it down to 20 but if you're doing the strips that we talked about where you're doing a couple of rows and then skipping 10 and then I think that full rate and then taping over or closing off those others but maybe you can add anything like that. Well Joel's right if you're going to do the solid seeding where you're using all of the openers on the drill you want to be at that six to eight pound seeding rate if you're doing the strips where you're doing one row or say two rows right together then you're leaving a three to five to 10 foot gap or whatever I kind of prefer the five foot gap with a single row then you should be at that 40 pound rate and then what you'll need to do is you'll want to try to see that either this week or the first week of August particularly in North Dakota as you get into South Dakota you can probably push that into the you know the second week of August particularly in the central and the southern parts of the various and then you'll need to be make a determination call once you get to seeding the winter week is that plaques reach the the early bloom or mid to late bloom stage so that it will stay erect have enough lignin in that stem to catch some snow or if you need to break that green bridge in that plaques cover crop you may need to use something like a shirt to take out the grasses if you want to leave that plaques continue to grow after you apply on the winter week so it'll be some decisions you'll have to make. Joel, do you expect the plaques to use much water? Joel asked the question do we expect the plaques to use much water and I would say no. Well what was your feeling day Joel? Well probably not but is that a bad or a good thing you know this year I think we want to use water but you know in a typical year maybe we're we want to conserve it but you know I think I think we don't we can't expect it to use a lot of water. Any other questions?	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqbclGavXeI", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

It's a good idea. I personally don't get too fancy. I just focus on the jumper wires. Color coding always helps. Black for ground, red for positive, but cutting custom-length jumpers makes the biggest difference. I strip about 8 millimeters from one end of a piece of solid-core wire, insert it into the starting node, lay the wire down a path to its destination node, add an extra 15 millimeters or so, cut, strip another 8 millimeter lead, insert, done. Now if I wanted to get really fancy, I could go pre-plan the whole layout and fritzing. The app is perfect for that. But it's a breadboard. It's temporary, so don't obsess.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQFdzvKB0yw", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

These matters will be dealt with on my subsequent papers. My presentation instead considers the metal work, its quantity, its character, all the mental styles, and ultimately date, leading to our conclusion for a likely date of deposition during the second half of the 7th century. The extraordinary character of the Statichord Horde is now well-established. It has no direct parallels for its scale, quality, or make-up in its local setting, in its Anglo-Saxon setting or indeed, in wider Europe in the 7th century. Our understanding of its quantities as altered significantly from the initial figures given following discovery.

Many sets of fittings have been identified that are critical to understanding what the collection representsdioleth yr hynny. The same character of the assemblage, indicated by the deliberate retention only of gold and silver metalwork, is further reinforced by the masculine and nemesh of character indicated by the finds. Arrhod gwrs 500 obju depressing, i.xa 80%, of the collection by og nationwide count are fittings from weaponry. Mostly from the hilt of swords with only a small number from scabbards. Just three buckles might also come from weapon harness. But as has long been pointed out, the iron blade are not present, nor are there any gold coins and nor are there any female type of jets, such as broaches. There is, however, at least one magnificent helmet and a collection of large and elaborate mounts, some of which may be from war gear. Lastly, of course, there is the small but very significant collection of church treasures, including the Great Gold Cross and the Strip with its biblical inscription. The new findings do not challenge what was apparent early on that ours is a warhawd, which must in some way relate to the cauldron of bloody conflict from which the early kingdoms of England would emerge. All of the objects can be accommodated on the battlefield. There are at least 74 pommels, 159 hilt collars and hilt rings, 170 plates from the Guards of Swords and over 120 other small mounts thought to come from the Helps of Swords and Finding Knights. Most of the pommels are of cocked hat form and closest to Mayne Dean's tight beckon false denaro, which is dated broadly from 570 to 650 AD. But a smaller number of the pommels take a round back form multiple at the 7th century. As Leslie Webster long ago argued, the Horde's Great Gold Cross and other Christian treasures, including the Pectoral Cross and Inscribed Strip, can be seen as representing small contingents of churchmen on the battlefield. All, therefore, is a lived wargear. Furthermore, the weapon fittings come from the swords and knives of leading warriors, and likewise the church gear must have belonged to religious figures in royal retinues. There is nothing from the rampant fire of an army. In this, the Horde represents a great departure from the view of the warrior that we had become accustomed to. As presented by the rusted iron fittings from shields, spears and swords from the periods thousands of weapon graves. By contrast furthermore, when swords from burials have been found with help fittings, they are typically of base metal, only very occasionally are they so grand as those that we have in our Horde. There are a small number of objects that appear princely, even royal. The helmet is chief amongst them, but there are also some large mounts that are suggested as possibly fittings from saddles. There is one reconstruction illustrated here. So we may also have the possessions of the commanders of armies, as well as those of their sub-command. Almost all of the objects show damage that was done before burial. The evidence suggests crude but systematic removal, a harvest of bullion or harvest. No care was shown for the contemporary high social and artistic value of the pieces. And with only a small number of exceptions, reuse would not have been possible for the objects. Cut marks are frequent, and it has been possible to capture some fascinating details with photomicrographs. Knives were used to chop open parts and sometimes to lever, with even the point of the blade apparent in some cases. There are additionally dents from smithing tongs used to pull pobbles from the ends of swords. This may be a clue to the class that undertook the dismantling, the smith, the class that would also have had the specialist knowledge to separate out gold from gilding metalwork. But there is some damage too that appears non-incidental, being instead deliberate in targeting, perhaps even iconoclastic. On our pectoral cross, one arm is bent and the other is broken. The arms of strong construction and considerable effort would have been needed to have broken it. The predominant style of the weapon fittings, represented by multiple sets of pommels and hilt collars, comprises all over coverings of gold filigree, typically with the filigree forming interlator style to animal ornament. A smaller number of pommels and hilt collars are in a different style, comprising all over clozzone ornament. Again, the pommels and collars form sets. Together the many sets identified, indicated without question, swords and fighting knives were being manufactured with matching hilt fittings. It is my contention, furthermore, that such distinctive ornament could represent the outputs of different regional royal workshops and could have functioned thus to convey regional identity and obligation as forms of kingdom styles. A further possible regional style is suggested from the over 100 small mounts in the collection, from the grips and guards of swords. Recognised as similar to examples on a preserved horn hilt in the British Museum, shown here, I have turned mintly cumberland hilt style. Next, therefore, is to consider where such regional styles might have originated, and this is currently very difficult, due to the lack of parallels for the hord's objects generally. And because most of those that we do have are single finds with poor understanding of their depositional context. A very close parallel for the filigree style, as well as for the techniques of manufacturing in the horde, is the method of detective find from market raisin in Lincolnshire. The small yellow triangles on this map, you can just about make out, indicate further examples of related pommons with filigree, all over filigree ornament. They plot a distribution across the Anglian kingdoms north of the Thames. Perhaps an origin for the style in the kingdoms of Lindsay or Northumbria might be possible, but also the absence from the kingdom of Kent is interesting, as is the approximate alignment of some of the finds along the Roman road system. There are even fewer parallels for the hord's clovone style fittings, which are the red dots on the map, just three of them. With the far apart examples from Suttonhu and Dinham, chief amongst them. The principal clue to a possible region lorogen for the style is the quality of the clovone. Both the geometric and zoomorphic styles of clovone seen on the weapon fittings, and on other objects in the collection, have their best parallels in the metalwork of Suttonhu and the wider East Anglian kingdom. I shall return to this on shortly. The Cumberland Hill was found during the 19th century, somewhere in the modern county of Cumbria, and it alone is sparse evidence for where the related proportion of hord fittings might have originated. Though it is tempting to suggest they might possibly represent another northern style, perhaps with growth in Northumbria. There are, in addition, a number of mounts of animal form on this side of the sky. That, it is argued, comes from the grips of weapons, though they have no direct power. And their company, as drawings show how they would have been inserted, did have this mount, for example, would have been inserted, flushed with the grip. The set of a pair of birds, that also has a fish that accompanies it, also has its greatest affinities with the garnet prosone of the kingdom of East Anglian. A further key characteristic of the metalwork is animal art, with over 140 examples. The art represents a key intellectual heritage for the early 7th century. Prior to and during the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. Successive traditions were widely shared across Europe, with repeated motifs and forms representing the likely remains of a pictorial system of Germanic pagan belief. Pommel 57 here stands out in particular for its rich iconography, with 14 creatures of varied species in total. Most notable are the little boar heads at the apex, for they represent a sort of Anglo-Saxon joke. The little boars wear helmets. They represent an inversion of the idiom of the boar crested helmet, such as we encounter it in Beowulf. Instead of a boar crested helmet, we have a boar wearing a helmet. Common to many pommels is the motif of a pair of creatures. You can see it on these pommels. Often shown fighting. There can be no doubt it had meaning, and it can be traced back to long before the arrival of Christianity. The most striking instance of its use, together with bird beaks, is on the side of pommel 52. So here it is and here the pair of bird beaks. Here its Germanic character was set in deliberate opposition, but not necessarily confrontation with an early Christian inspired design on the other side of the pommel. This one here. The design's unusual arrangement of arches and crosses can be compared with that of a basilica on a Byzantine weight of approximately similar date. This pommel with its pagan, Germanic and Christian imagery is just one of many objects in the hall that open a new window on this important period of intellectual transition. Most of the animal art is of the four known as Salim's style too. Just two hill collars have the preceding style one, making them two of the earliest objects in the lecture. Both styles have long been studied for their chronological development, and the style two of the horde in particular has been important for our dating. Arriving at a date for the collection is not straightforward. Radiocarbon dating of its rare organics has not been possible, and there are no coins in the collection. Furthermore its atypical object forms have few well dated parallels. In quantity the style two represents an approximate doubling of the corpus prior to the horde in England. It therefore presented a great opportunity for reconsidering the styles used in Anglo-Saxon England. My conclusion has been to propose a new understanding of style two in England in the form of an early version and the late version. The early form can be found across Europe, but the late form developed somewhere in Anglo-Saxon England. The dating for the two forms of style two was arrived at by stylistic comparison of the ornament with examples from well dated contexts from England and Europe. In early style two the key creature is the zoomorph with the little heads around, a jaw and often a serpent-like body, although sometimes with abbreviated limbs in the form of a curl or a single hind leg. Examples can be found on filibrary cast and sheet metalwork across England that's focused in the south east. The key dated instances from England are Pricklewell, Alton and Southern Hoog. The earliest examples however appear in Scandinavia in filigree on weapon fitting, like the example at the top here from Langelland in Denmark. This agrees with the currently accepted position of style two developed first in Scandinavia around the mid sixth century before spreading across Europe by the last quarter of the sixth century. In Anglo-Saxon late style two the zoomorph, the key creature, is replaced by the quadruped in profile and altogether a more recognisable creature. It is harder to find well dated examples but key are those from Mount One in Southern Hoog. It seems this form of style two most likely came into use in the seventh century in the early part. In fact this creature form has long been regarded as generally later in Anglo-Saxon studies being the same that we ultimately find in early manuscript illumination. So what I am proposing actually represents more of a formalisation of the observation of others including George Speke and Kyra Gwylem Nielsen and that an entirely new conception. Indeed especially relevant for considering the dating of one early manuscript, the Book of Daro, is the very close likeness of the animal form seen on some of the latest objects in the hall. The Great Gold Cross and one of our omels can be compared directly with one of the objects in terms of its shape, in terms of leading position to the animals in the Book of Daro. I have mentioned already the connection between some of the metalwork of the Staffordshire Horde with that from Sutton Hoog. The linkages extend beyond general observations concerning quality of manufacture to include signature details which I believe support an argument that the proportion of the objects in the collection originated from royal workshops in the Kingdom of East India. A key connection first identified by Kyra Gwylem Nielsen is that of a motif on the cross that was copied from one that is seen on the maple wood cut in the mound, one burial. Here it is on the arm and here it is on the maple wood cut. In fact on the other arm there is a modified version of the same motif. Another is the frequent use of mushroom cellwork in the gynaic clozone of mushrooms up here. Whilst not unique to the Kingdom of East Anglia, so-called mushroom clozone appears to have achieved a popularity in the region that is not observable in clozone manufacturer elsewhere, notably in the Kingdom of Kenya and across other areas of southern England. Further affinities are found in the execution of the animal art, notably in the tiny detail of the Y shaped division of the beaks of birds seen here on the great gold buckle from the Sutton Hoog mound on burial and again seen in the clozone on the bird from the purse. We have the very tiny Y shaped detail, both in cast and in size style too, and in the gynaic clozone. Then there is another further linkage in terms of the use of rare gynaic clozone cut garnet forms that we find in the hoard and that we only have power elsewhere in the Sutton Hoog. A link that was pointed out quite early on is our link between our lovely beautiful Seax fittins reconstructed here as the fighting knife and the very close in terms of quality link that they show with the Sutton Hoog shoulder class. In addition to the ornamental style so far presented, another is demonstrated by some of the latest silver metalwork which we have termed the early insular style. The group includes three magnificent silver pommels, one of which is shown here. Two of them have gold mounts on one side only of their silver cast forms and all have the novel feature of two ring knobs on their shoulder for the part of the sword ring tradition, the latest form of the sword ring tradition that we see across Europe. However no other pommel in Europe has two knobs, although unique. The pommel here shown number 76 has a pair of collars that we believe went with it and a pair of silver guards which again are unique from the Anglo-Saxon England which do have affinities with Scandinavian fittings and here we've reconstructed its original glorious form. The early insular style of the metalwork has been so called because it appears to anticipate the full insular style combining Anglo-Saxon and Celtic arts that we see manifested in the earliest manuscripts. Some of its characteristics are shown here on an extractive page from the book together with Comparanda on this side. In particular, tight interlace is a part of its expression. We also have examples of little animal heads that will mark the Celtic and Triscals and Triscaleons and Triquetres. As well as considering the typology and style of the objects, every fine was assessed for its wear, all for signs of repair, aspects that affect consideration of dated. An example of heavy wear is that shown on the silver pommel 68 where the decoration of the tops, edges and ends of the pommel has been worn smooth by decades of use. On these two photo micrographs we have contrasting light and heavy wear seen on different pommels with gold fillering in this instance. Overall it was found that objects with early style too showed more instances of heavy wear in contrast with only light wear seen on objects with late style too. Two places of repair are shown here, one is a garnet lost from our broken old cross, broken and repaired and another is this pommel here which had two red glass settings to replace perhaps lost garnets. The patterns of wear observed agree generally with Sue Brunning's findings from her study of other North European swords. The wear occurs mainly on fittings at the extremities of the hilt, shown as red on our schematic. Probably it was due to rubbing against clothing with the weapons worn habitually as a leap, that's being questioned. In addition longitudinal fine stretch marks have been identified on the plates of lower weapon guards which it is argued were caused by the routine polishing of the weapon blade. To conclude my presentation today I present the dating and from it our estimated date of deposition for the collection. The metalwork is not all of one phase it was manufactured over a period of more than a century in total. Though the bolt belongs to the late 6th to mid 7th century. Probably most was made and in use in the first half of the 7th century. The earliest phase comprises silver material with style 1 or early style 2 ornament, much demonstrating heavy wear. These fittings might have come from so called heirloom weapons that circulated for decades before they came into the hall. The middle two phases comprise the bulk of the gold material. The earlier gold phase is closely associated with early style 2 and filigree manufacture. The later gold phase is associated particularly with garnet manufacture, garnet balls on a manufacture and with later style 2. The final phase comprises our silver material with the early insular style. Note that this phasing has implications for considering the metal economy of the time. For it proposes a rich gold phase of manufacture that was preceded and succeeded by phases of silver manufacture. This is undoubtedly a simplification but is consistent with the trend observed by other studies that there was a sudden influx of gold to England from late in the 6th century but it was brief, with the debasement in coinage in particular suggesting that already by the 640s supplies of the precious metal were again running short. In the hall therefore we are presented with a true golden age, not only of artistic genius but also in actual terms. Finally, the proposed dating of the material has led to a revised date of deposition. We now believe the collection was most likely buried at some point in the third quarter of the 7th century.

In this session we discussed the following question which says if 12, 24 and x are in continual proportion, find the value of x. If we have that a, b and c are in continual proportion, then a is to v is proportional to b is to c. And then the product of extremes that is a multiplied by c is equal to the product of means which is b multiplied by b equal to b square. That is we have b square is equal to ac. This is the key idea for this question. Let's move on to the solution now. It's given that 12, 24 and x are in continual proportion. Then we have 12 is to 24 is proportional to 24 is to x. And so the product of extremes that is 12 multiplied by x is equal to the product of means that is 24 multiplied by 24. Now this means x is equal to 24 into 24 upon 12. Now 12, 2 times is 24. So this is equal to 24 into 2 is equal to 48. That is we get x is equal to 48. So 48 is our final answer. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution for this question.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqN5t7nOKSc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

UCuLGmD72gJDBwmLw06X58SA	Aaron Swartz on The Open Library	Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit.com, spoke at the luncheon series about the Open Library. Thanks to new technology, the grand vision of a library containing every book in the world is now within our grasp. The Open Library Project, a loose collection of technologists, publishers, librarians, and book-lovers, has taken up this challenge by trying to create a website collecting everything we know about books — including library records, publishers’ blurbs, full-text and scans, reviews, and more. Learn about the vision, the technology, the progress, and how you can join us.

First, I'd kind of lay out the vision behind Open Library and what we're doing and try and get you to be excited about it and feel part of it. And then I can give you a more candidate status report about how we've done so far and how you can help. The idea behind Open Library started out really simple. It spiraled out of control from there, but it started out simple. The idea is one web page per book. Books are such important artifacts. They're the kind of repositories of knowledge in our culture. They're where you go when you have a great idea or a great piece of literature or a great piece of art. You write about it and you publish it in a book and it goes in a library. And it seemed kind of tragic to me that these important cultural artifacts never had a really strong first-class place on the web. They were always either on a publisher's website if they were in print or a bookstore's website or occasionally a couple pages scattered across libraries. But there wasn't a definitive place you could kind of go to to find out about a book. An Open Library's goal is to be that place. The first thing we realized is that if we're going to make a website this big and this ambitious, a website with a page for every book that tried to collect all the information about that book on that page, it had to be editable. This is the era of Wikipedia and user-contributed websites like YouTube. And so it doesn't make sense to be the definitive website unless users can contribute. So what we did is we decided to make it into a structured wiki, a new kind of wiki in which we store all the data about a book in a structured database format but anyone else can go and edit it. So if you look at Wikipedia, so this is the page on the book and you want to edit it, what happens is you get back this big block of text here. And the problem with a big block of text is while humans can sometimes edit it, although Wikipedia's editing syntax is somewhat confusing, computers can't. So it can't be reused in any kind of library system. It can't be reused by software. You can't do queries about it and find interesting things. We wanted Open Library to support all those things. So what we did is we made it more structured. If you go find a book on Open Library, this one, we have separate fields for all the different data elements like the title, the author, all of those sorts of things and that lets us, for example, if you click on an author's name, we automatically generate a bibliography and show you all the books that author has written because that data is stored with a structured way when you add a new book and you say it's written by this author, we automatically know to add it to this page and all of this data is available for people to reuse and recreate in different ways. The other thing we realized very quickly is that it had to be really open. Our name is the Open Library. Openness is like a core part, but the plan was that this isn't something like I could do or a small group could do or even a big company could do. This is something that really has to be a collaboration between a lot of different people. So we brought in publishers, we brought in libraries, we brought in book lovers, we brought in reviewers. We're trying to get everyone to come together and contribute their data to one site where it's all available for free, it's all available for download and reuse. Everything is completely open, anyone can contribute, anyone can take advantage of it, anyone can reuse it. We're just this kind of central hub coordinating all these different actors. The other thing we realized was that you wanna have full text. So for books that are out of copyright where we can scan them and put full text, we wanted to do that. We spring up some interesting questions about how to read books online. Nobody has really kind of found a great model for reading books and webpages. You can have a really long HTML page that people can scroll through, you can have a little flip book interface, and we're trying both of those, but I think we need people to help us find ways to make these books more accessible to people. We also wanna have a way for people to find them in their local library. So if people come to our site through a search engine, they come across a page that seems interesting, they wanna get a copy of that book and so we wanna be able to say, oh, just down the street there's a library that has a copy, go and visit them. And in an era where people think research means going to do a search on Google, this is really important because it allows us to pull people from Google into physical libraries where they can go and visit and collect books. So our motto is kind of on the side of every book, we have a little option where you can buy, borrow, or steal, or download, I guess. Buy by going to an online bookstore or a physical bookstore, borrow by looking at a local library or at one of these book trading services and then download by, if we have a scan, we'll make that available. The other thing, of course, is we wanna integrate reviews, both professional reviews from major journals and publications and also amateur reviews like Amazon has where people can contribute reviews. We wanna have subjects. When we first started the project, we brought in a bunch of librarians and the first thing they started arguing about was which subject system to use. Should we use the Library of Congress subject system or should we use this dissidence version of the Library of Congress subject system where the Vietnam War is classified as a real war because the Library of Congress only changed that recently? And so our answer was very simple. We don't have to choose on the internet. We don't have to put the books in one place or only put one category system on each heading card. We can store all the category systems, let people sort by whatever system they want. And so that's our goal is to be open in that way that if you wanna sort it by Dewey Decibel, you can add in Dewey Decibel numbers. If you want LCSH, you can add LCSH headings. All of the various options we wanna be able to put on our website and let people sort and direct through whatever mechanism is necessary and try and connect up similar categories to say this Library of Congress subject heading is very similar to this publisher subject heading and so on. Same thing with identifiers. Right now, there's ISBNs, there's OCLC numbers. Every organization seems to come up with a new identifier each week, UPCs and so on. We wanna be the repository to take all the different identifiers, to take everything we can, put it in this one database and then let people jump between them. So you give us an ISBN, we'll give you back an OCLC number. You give us an OCLC number, we'll give you back an open library number. We obviously have to create our own identifier system because we're gonna have more books and different books than other systems do but we're gonna be able to link that with all the other identifier systems. The other big challenge is what, much to the confusion of my friends with children, the library world calls ferberization which basically means connecting books, like physical books in a library, connecting those to the collection of all those physical books that are basically the same and in the same print run, collecting those to all the different editions and collecting those to the translations and video adaptations and the CDs and managing the links between that. The library world is taking some tentative steps to that but they've mainly been really focused on the physical copy of the book they have on the shelves and so we're going to have to come up with new and different kinds of relationships between books to represent that and we wanna store that all on our websites. You can jump from a physical book to the audio CD to a movie based on it, keep that all in one database and keep the relationships between them structured. Also we wanna let people add new kinds of relationships like this book was inspired by that book or this book is a rebuttal of that book. This book shows some serious errors in that other book or this book is a new addition that should replace this old book. We wanna be able to store all those links between books in one website. In terms of getting books to people we're also experimenting with print on demand. We wanna be able to let you print out a book, you have it mailed to you that we've scanned and is available in full text. You can read it in physical form. We also wanna do scan on demand which is the reverse side of the equation. So we've gotten, we want you to be able to find a book that seems interesting in our catalog and if it's not scanned, click a scan this book button and maybe pay a $20 or something. Have someone go page it off the shelves, bring it to the scanning center that's nearby, scan through the book and send you a PDF. So the big vision we started with was that this would be kind of a true library of ideas in a place where you could go and find an interesting book and click jump from there to all the other books by that author or other books on that subject or sputtles to that book or reviews of that book. Just be able to float through this kind of vast web of interconnected ideas that's represented by books and make that really visible and exciting to people. So the immediate question people ask us is oh, isn't someone already doing this? So the major candidate is Amazon. Right now when you want to link to a book, you link to Amazon. The problem with them is that they're basically a bookseller and they give you a lot of information about selling books but little beyond that and they really don't have much good data on stuff that's out of print which is the core of what's really interesting about libraries and what's really unavailable on the web right now. Google, which I'm sure we'll talk a little bit more about later, has been going through and scanning books and collecting library catalogs and making them available through Google Book Search but they have very little community features and if you look at Google, they've never been good at building community features. The closest they came was like Google Answers and they shut that down eventually. And of course there's Worldcat which is a non-profit run by, it's a, OCLC is a non-profit. They run the site called Worldcat which aggregates library catalogs from a bunch of different libraries. Unfortunately, their business model depends on selling this data to people so they've been very hesitant about making it available for free online and letting people reuse it. So we really wanna be this public resource that's not controlled by any particular group that everyone can use unlike these other organizations. So that's the big vision. I guess I'll pause for some questions about that before going on to tell you about how we've done so far. Has anyone confused or think it's a bad idea? Right now we're just English language only but obviously internationalization is a huge part. We're trying to get library catalogs from other countries and we wanna be able to both have different, translate the content of the website so a summary of the book should be able to be translated in different languages as well as the interface so people can browse it in different languages. But we don't have that yet. Sure. So the plan is to start with just monographs as kind of books. Serials is the next big task we wanna handle after this. It's a little bit harder because you know there's, it's so much more complicated in that with a monograph you basically get the title on the author and you're done whereas serials are in these vast sets over time and each individual article is interesting and people wanna read it. But that's the next big challenge we wanna tackle after this. Wendy? I'm curious about what you're doing with the fuzzy connection. Is West Side Story an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet? What's the score connected to the performance connected to the video? Yeah, that's an interesting question because the library world's kind of binary, right? The systems only have one way to enter things in usually. Right now we've mainly tried to adopt that by having lots of different kinds of ways you can connect books but we haven't really done anything fuzzy. This is a similar question. In addition to storing categorizing systems will you allow users to make up their own categorizing systems? Sure, so we wanna have tagging and that kind of user-contributed cataloging as well in the same way that we're gonna have to have a new identifier scheme to represent books in the open library. Tagging is kind of our new category scheme. It'd be interesting to know what you would advise the head of this library if they wanted to play with you in the sense and maybe the answer is so we have more than journals. Every loss of the library could help on journals. You know, you might have to do it. You know, it's what I suggest with you but maybe before you close I'd love to have your sort of free consulting in person to share your environment as a crowd for how a huge and helpful library could contribute to your question. Sure, so let me talk a little bit about how we've done so far in each of these goals. This was kind of the grand vision that we set out for ourselves but it's been really difficult as you might imagine collecting a page where every book in the world has been hard and so I can talk a bit more about how far we've gotten and how people can help fill in the gaps. This software, as you can see, has been working really well. We thought it would be hard to build something that combined this kind of database structure as well as the flexibility of a Wiki and it never really been done before and on day one when we started importing books we got six million from the Library of Congress and that's bigger than any Wiki that exists so far but that's working really well. I'm really excited. We imported six million books. We've got around 10 million now and it seems to be working fine. So, for a book we need a catalog record. So, we've got the catalog records from the Library of Congress. For full text, we only have around 400,000 so far and we get the full text ones mostly through the Internet Archives OCA scanning project. So, the Internet Archive builds these scanning machines. They truck them out to various major libraries. I think they have like 70 or something now. They have a lot of them. The Boston Public Library is one in the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library in Toronto and so on. And then people fund them. They take books off the shelves, run them through the scanning machine and they get uploaded to our servers and converted into PDFs and so on. We've been trying to work with Google and with other people who have copies of scan books and if Harvard has some scanning collections we'd love to include those as well to try and bring all of those when full text is available into the open library. For catalog data, publishers have been really helpful. They want to promote their books so they send us lots of data about imprint books. Bookstores have also been pretty helpful but again, mostly focused to imprint books. For libraries, hello. For libraries, it's been a little bit harder persuading them to give us their catalogs. They've been kind of hesitant. It's been great getting six million from the Library of Congress. We've gotten another five million recently from University of North Carolina but we're still trying to push them and just getting them to contribute data to our site would be really helpful because it's those kinds of features that allow us to do things like find in your local library and stuff like that. For reviews, we're trying to scan review indexes and this is another place we need help is if people have copies of review indexes digitized or on CD-ROM or something. We'd love those to be contributed. It's been really hard tracking down a copy of these. Identifiers have been kind of a mess. Nobody really wants to share. Scan on Demand is making some good progress. We've got University of Toronto and University of North Carolina signing up and so basically we've got this system where you go on the web, you pay 10 cents a page and a $5 fee and they go and get it off the shelves and they can turn it around within a couple days now and they remember that you paid for it. We put a little book plate in the online version. So we think once we get that running smoothly that'll be really popular. Print on Demand has also been pretty exciting. We got number four of these on-demand books machines in our offices in San Francisco. It's this huge machine that takes up half the room but you feed it some paper and ink and some glue in and out comes a fully printed press book on the other end within five minutes or so. It's really amazing to watch. So we have this machine just cranking out books. They're gonna send another one of them to New Orleans to reprint the New Orleans public library system that got destroyed taking the hundreds of thousands of books we scan and just printing out copies of them and filling the shelves again. So that's been really excited. But we still need a lot of help. The biggest thing is with data. If you have data that you can contribute about catalog records or about books you've scanned or reviews of books, anyone who has data about books we love your contributions. If you don't have data but you have good social skills we need help calling people and haranguing them and totally give us data. If you can program we need more coders. It's a vicious problem trying to reprocess the data and munch it into some form that's usable. And if you love books soon we'd love your help curating and collecting them and annotating them. So I guess that's basically my progress report if people have questions about the bigger project or about any particular aspect I'd love to take them. That's it. So what do you follow in the discussion about interlibrary loans for books and copyright? So obviously right now you can do an interlibrary loan for books and copyright and you can get the physical book sent to you and often you can get a photocopy of the books sent to you. What we wanna do is we wanna do digital interlibrary loan so that we can scan the book, save a copy and send you the PDF. And we've talked it over with some publishers and they seem okay with it. We've talked it over with some libraries and they seem okay with it. And there are a couple who are gonna go ahead with it and have us as their scanning partner and do digital interlibrary loan for out of books that you can't get in a bookstore. They're out of print, right? But they're not yet out of copyright. Yep. I guess what I'm hearing is really interesting because it sounds like you were saying that the publisher were having an okay time but traditionally they've had problems with which is kind of digitizing this information and sharing it. But then you're getting resistance from the non-profit libraries and you maybe explain what's going on both of their interest and interest. So yeah, the publishers are happy because this is yet another way to promote their books. People come across it on the internet and they seem to get interested in a book and they sell another copy. And the publishers have a system set up for promoting their books. They have a system of ONIX feeds as they're called. These XML feeds that describe their books and go to the major bookstores and so on. The libraries have been much more difficult. Mostly it seems just because of the complicated bureaucracy and because they're worried about legal issues, they're worried about whether we're trustworthy. And so it's just been this long hard slog to persuade them to give us records. And I mean, there are a lot of librarians here. If you guys can give us advice on what we're doing wrong or what the right way to approach libraries is what we're missing. That would be really helpful. What you've described so far has been mainly US related. Are you making an international push as well? We wanna do an international push. We don't have, you know, we have better contacts in the US. We have some contacts in Canada. We're trying right now in India to try and get a collection of Indian books. We have a couple contacts in some European countries to try that, but we're basically, you know, we just, we don't know people in the right areas. And so we're looking all the time for international people who can help us with it. But, you know, we've had enough trouble dealing with US libraries, that dealing with other countries is a bit beyond our grasp at the moment. Are there other libraries with consumer software? The main people we've been working with is this site called Library Thing, which is a popular web-based version of kind of like Delicious Library where you uploaded a list of books and it builds you a catalog. The major sites like Delicious Library and so on, all those programs, they kind of pull from other library records. So we've been thinking instead of trying to aggregate those, we go back to the source and try and get the data that way. What are you doing to sort of reach the social tipping point that I think you'll need? Because I feel like there's a lot of effort towards getting the data. And boy, there's a lot you can do there, right? But I mean, if you look at the change log, almost nothing's going on. All of the effort seems to be on the outside of the application, making the application, talking to people. Yeah, so the plan is kind of to do it in two phases. One is kind of getting the data into the right format so that we need to be comfortable that the data is up there in a way that's stable. And so when people try and make contributions, they won't get lost the next time we try and import new data or change the format. And we're just not at a point where we can declare that kind of stability so we've been holding off on encouraging new contributors. One that happens, obviously, that's gonna be a big part of our push is trying to find people. And we've looked at the history of Wikipedia and of other Wiki sites to try and figure out tricks for bringing people in and getting people to contribute. I think a lot of it is, as I suggested, people will come in through Google. There are an enormous number of people searching for books and there's very little data about a lot of the out-of-print books. So if we can start to pull those people in and get them interested that way, we're hoping we can build a community through that. Another question, what's the financial plan? How is the money working on all these? So right now, we're mostly funded by the Internet Archive. It's not for profit in San Francisco that's been doing book scanning and other projects. We've gotten a grant from the California State Library Commission or whatever it's called to work on it and we're applying for more grants through funding. A hope is that long-term, it'll start to be self-sustainable through things like affiliate revenues of sending people to bookstores and stuff like that and through a little bit of money we make off of things like scan on demand and print on demand. But for now, these startup costs are being paid by these foundations. The tension between the being the glue that connects various other tools and what people are doing with books and wanting to do it yourself and wanting to have the content on demand in your office. Yeah, I mean, there's this constant tension because a lot of the other people at the projects say, oh, I want to do that part or either I want to have this bookshelf feature and I sometimes have to say, no, let's hold off and let other people develop this one. We just, the fundamental constraint is we don't have the resources to do all of it ourselves. There are some things where we think we can add real value like scan on demand because we have the scanners and the library contacts that at the Internet Archive that can make that kind of thing happen. With print on demand, I think, we have a print on demand machine we're one of the few people that do it and we got it because of some other projects that we're working on. So we might as well use it but we're also going to link to Lulu and other people doing print on demand operations. Hey agent, URL, I don't see a unique identifier. Yeah, we're still working on picking the identifier system. I mean, right now the URL is our unique identifier but we're going to, we've gotten some, we're trying to get feedback on what the right identifier is for people's different applications and in the next round I think we're going to use that instead. And of course, we have an API so that you can query by all sorts of different things and get back, you know, various library records. So further, furtherization comes from the FRBR? Yes. Probably due to infection. Much, all my friends with kids get totally confused when I talk about furtherization. It's incredible. Kids cry, is that right? Structured cry. Structured day. It's very similar. It's just we let the books cry at us until we feel sympathy and catalog them properly. The crying. So FRBR is a fairly well structured set of metadata concepts that goes, I should say goes from editions all the way up to broader ideas of what constitutes a book. Right. The canonical example is Hamlet. Or collections even. Or, or, or, yes. So is Hamlet the particular edition? Is it the large print edition? Is it a particular print run and so forth? So there's this fairly structured thing in existence. And then I think it was Wendy who was asking about the, sort of all of the messy relationships that one might create such as based on, you say, refutes is a parody of and so forth. So, sorry, along with an introduction to the question, which is it's easy to see how somebody could sit down and how a centralized authority could come up with a fervor that would be useful. It's harder to see, and it's easy to think to imagine that people can make up whatever tags whatever relationship they want, whether it's a parody of or is funny if you know about. It's harder to see how you're gonna get those, get the right degree of structure and coordination around the set of relationships that are predictable about what people are gonna see. So what's your plan for doing that? Or do you just want to see what emerges? Yeah, I think, you know, it's kind of accommodation, right? So we're gonna obviously have some built-in ones like refutes or is related to or you probably would also like. But after that, we want to- How are you gonna decide on those? We pick our favorites, you know. We don't, we want to just kind of seed it with a couple that seem interesting to us. And then after that, the goal is to, the database software and the Wiki software uses very flexible so people can add their own fields, they can add their own tags, they can add their own relationships and we'll see what happens. When we get a user community, our hope is that it will kind of end up like Wikipedia where these people who kind of build a community on Wikipedia and say, this is the right way to categorize this kind of object, this is the right way to connect these two things and hopefully the same thing will happen with us. If it doesn't, we might need to hire some people to push things in a line. I was gonna say, you know, this goes somewhat to something David had a post about Hamlet where, you know, maybe the answer in these circumstances is not to impose the same sort of binary relationships that exist in other library data. Like, for example, LCSH, something either is or is not a love story. Well, that's absurd, right? Things are more love stories and things are less, right? And the connections between books, whether Romeo and Juliet is like West Side Story, is also a similarly sort of nuanced thing. And it would be cool if some system could capture that. You know, appropriately. Yeah. If you know how to do that, that would be great. It's really tricky. It doesn't, to some extent, because you can't change other people's tags. On library thing, we just introduced a feature where we have a fielded Wiki for putting in data, right? And the first thing that happened is people said, wait a second, your gender field doesn't have enough options. Wait a second, you're asking for BCAD, I want BCECE, right? And the problem with cataloging is that someone wins, right? And you can offer more options. Like, well, we're gonna put in multiple genders. At some point, someone wins. And librarians really, really like to win. That is an interesting problem. Oh, that's not the librarian, it's the authors. Take David Smith. Which David Smith? I mean, if you're David Nathan Smith, you want that and the dates in there and you want to be specifically identified and you want to get mixed up with other people, but it's hard to do that if everybody's just putting in the data. And some people don't know that it's David Nathan's, but they just know it's David Smith. And then the data gets messed up. So what do you want? Clean. But there really is an answer to who wrote the book. There really isn't an answer to what is the gender of this transgender author. Right. Why do you need that? Well, because you want to know who are the female mystery writers in Nebraska. You don't? Yeah, I mean, the idea of letting everyone kind of pick their own answers is interesting. I don't think anyone's really tried to wiki that way. For the particular problem of making sure you get the authors right, what we want to do is have a kind of autocomplete dropdown. So as you type an author's name, it'll say, oh, did you mean the author of this book or the author, the separate author who was born this year and wrote this book. And hopefully that'll get people to pick the right author. So we've been working on that lately. It's not quite finished yet, but that's our hope. But as for letting everyone decide what someone's gender is, I mean, I think we could, SJ will probably comment on this, but Wikipedia's kind of picked the system where you have a discussion and come to a consensus and then you pick the answer that everyone can kind of sign on to as opposed to letting everyone pick their own point of view Wikipedia and write up the story from their perspective. I think it would be an interesting experiment and I guess there's some wiki clones that are trying to do that, but I think it's just, we're already taking on some of the challenges that that one would throw us over the top. I was gonna ask a different question, which is whether you're hot linking to any databases right now. Hot linking to databases, meaning? Either they're drawing their data directly from your databases. No, right now it's all imported, just because when you have 10 million records, if you want to do a live query every week to get it up to edit, it's difficult. Things like price records we're gonna do on the fly because they change frequently and because nobody really wants to query too much on them. What? Because Phil G likes that a lot. There is an answer. There is a best answer to the question of the gender. Oh, I know both, can you play it out for me? There's another inside joke, which includes me. Please. Sorry, I first met Aaron a long time ago at a summer event around our stage there. Phil Fritzbun, who's some people in the room know. He's a luminary around. Cambridge has, he ran this company. We built some social software for building communities online and one of the canonical experiments was to see whether you knew how to use that software was figuring out how to automatically calculate the price of the biggest book that you liked by drawing from it in this office. Kind of, thank you. Sorry, I'm sorry. Makeup? Frequently in the context of worker discussion on Wikipedia, the answer to, we don't know what is the correct gender is. Well, we're phrasing the question completely wrong anyway. We're going to create a new way of cataloging this for, we're just going to introduce it differently by writing a little note that explains that gender in this particular situation is less meaningful. The kind of thing that seems like that, there's a whole class of solutions that are easier in the context of Wikipedia because it is unstructured and you can have answers, you can have ways of addressing or answering the question that are unstructured and one-off ways of doing it. But the advantage of having a field of wiki is that you get the structure of it. That's right, that's right. And you want to know when the query you were making was poorly framed for the results. That's right. The kind of question is just. That's an extra bit of data. The type of, you're right, that Wikipedia is very good at coming to people collaborating in Wikipedia are very good at answering this question in some way. But that's in part because the answers, the types of answers in that context are less constrained than the world in this situation. So this was one of the problems we faced at the beginning was where to find this balance between structure that people can reuse and put into databases for other purposes and flexibility like the kind you can see on Wikipedia where you can completely revamp the page and make it look totally different. And the compromise we came to was that things would be structured but you could change the structure on the fly. So. For the individual entry. Yes, for each individual entry or for a class of entries or something. So this is the structure for making comics which is just a normal book. This is the thing that generates that page. It's a little ugly at the moment but basically you get to say each property and give it a name and tell it what type it is. So, you know, right now it's DOI is a string and the source is a string and there's some dates in here somewhere. It doesn't make it less useful for computers that are trying to access the database because they can't predict what author's name gets changed to name of writer. Well, so, yeah, the hope is that people change the names of the fields, that they add new fields, that they put an asterisk next to old fields and say, well, gender doesn't really make sense here. That might be the answer that gender, there is no answer to gender in this situation so it's not going to return to me. Right. Perhaps. You take that field out for that particular example. But yeah, the hope is to, you know, make the schema reconfigurable on the fly and hope that's like tagging people come to consensus about what the properties are named but they can change what properties they use in each particular case based on what it is. So, for example, if you're categorizing Bach things, there's a special Bach number that only makes sense for things written by Bach and you want to be able to add that to just that class of records. And similarly for books by people with confusing genders, you might want to take out the standard gender field. Would there be any value or merely confusion? You're solving the multiple categorization scheme issue by accepting them all, or as many of the Library of Congress do, Desmond. Would it just be too ridiculous to have, when people cannot decide, the most fucking edit war over metadata to allow multiple metadata pages for an entry? Does that just make it? I mean, you know, they can certainly do that, right? We can't stop them from creating new pages. I don't know if that's the solution that people are going to be happy with, but it might be. I want to ask Greg Crane a question. You did something like this 25 years ago with a fine corpus, right? If it was today, would you do it this way? Or open it up to the world? That is the big challenge. We are working on, I think I can claim responsibility for kicking the OCA vigorously last year to open up this books on demand scanning thing last year's meeting. And it's worked extremely well at Toronto, I have to say. So the question is, how do you get things out there? How do you allow people to depict what they want to build as collections? And then how do you bring to bear the specialized expertise that actually adds the real value? Because in fact, nobody's really interested in books. They're interested in logical units, which may sometimes overlap with books, but they want a chapter, they want a poem, they want something which is inside, and usually subsets from multiple different sources at the same time. But most of the expertise in the world is distributed. So we're working on verbalization and we're working on top of adding value to an OCA type collection and integrating that in with other structure materials. And so the big question is, how effectively to take advantage of this distributed labor? It's hard, and it's a tricky question, but it is clearly, from my perspective as a scholar, that's not just the means, it's an end, because we're just redefining the relationship between what you do in the academy and the world. So Wikipedia is the world, and the academy is the dog, the academy is the tail. How do you integrate professional academics with this massive populist movement and have a more interesting balance? But I agree with you that it's not done by picking, say, monographs or something, it's done by picking a genre, whether it's law or science fiction or classics or the classical world or something, but you want books, journal articles, photographs, maps. And this gets into the issue of, it's not just books, but it's objects. So we've been working on the integration of Ferber OO or the object-oriented version of Ferber with the C.I.Doc CRM, which is the European ontology for dealing with museum artifacts, essentially. And we have always had, for 20 years, the problem of having museum objects and textual objects in the same environment, and that's the real world problem. The same extent you reduce this back to the 19th century when you're dealing with books in isolation. So, and you also need more powerful, this is really cool in that you can actually add systems, more powerful systems. So we have the classes that came up with what they call the canonical text services protocol to define, you have chapter and verse of the New Testament, for example. You may have an enduring coordinate system describe the contents of a textual object that are the same from addition to addition. How do you describe that? Because that actually describes the logical structures that you want to work on. Shakespeare doesn't do that, except they have globe Shakespeare, semi, they have a few standards. But there's the general issues, how do you add more structure within the book? It looks like you could probably do this within this environment. Yeah, that's the hope. And that's certainly gonna come up a lot with journal articles, right? Cause you wanna be able to structure them in many different levels. And similarly with music, you wanna be able to point to like songs within an album, within a collection of works. But right now, we have our hands full with just picking up monographs. So we've kind of been planning about that, but haven't done it yet. I mean, there's the problem where we actually had, we had obscure languages of a feather. So we put in Syriac, we put in Old Norse, we put in Sanskrit, we put in Greek, we put in Latin, by the OCA. And of course, one Sanskrit guy from Brown said, oh, they got the wrong edition. They got like, I wanted the seven volume dictionary and I got like the one volume addendum. They're idiots, they don't know what they're doing and how do they, and then we said, well, now we gotta fix this. But the mechanism was not in place. And there was some discussion among the scholars as to how you would go about actually adding the value that you need to give you that precision. And that's kind of, that of course, your general issue anyway. Just viewed from the standpoint of where were those academics who when given things for free just complain. Yeah, I mean, like I've been into these scanning centers and it's pretty clear people there don't read Sanskrit. You know, like they basically, trucks of books come in, right? And they do their best to figure out what the hell book it is. You know, they scan it as quickly as they can and put it back on the shelf. What hope is that by opening it up like this, there are a lot of really committed people like that, like scholars who will say, no, this edition has a different cover and it's got this mark here and you know, it's a completely different book. And so let's make that really clear on this webpage. And we hope that by letting them contribute that data to a public website, we'll be able to collect a lot of that knowledge and book lovers and you know, book collectors and you know, academic scholars that right now, if you know, send an email to the OCA about it, they're just like, well, sorry, what can we do? You know, problem happened before now. It's important to realize that at least in my experience, the library community resists community generated data. And in fact, when I was, when I argued that we should have, allow people to have, you know, have a little book cart in a wider library. Drop a book you want to have, scan it or whatever library on the cart and they checked it to see if it's in copyright or if it's, they can do it, they scan it. I was told that was bad because only librarians understood collection development. I was actually told that to my face and I didn't understand how to build a collection. And so you know, it's similarly, how do you create your authority lists? How do you create all this data? So there's a culture which has logical reasons behind even if it seems to produce illogical effects that you're, that you have to deal with. You're dealing with that when you're trying to get metadata and you can't get it. Right. I mean, right now we're just working on getting it from the libraries, like giving it back to the libraries in a way that they'll accept it. It seems really hard. I mean, you know, libraries insist you follow like the Anglo-American catalog requirements, right? Which is this like 500 page book about like how to properly capitalize Thai names every weird edge case you can think of. And you're just not going to get people on the internet to do that perfectly. But here's the fundamental problem is that, and even in a professionalized field like classic, there's a finite amount of material. It is all, every Greek and Latin author, even a little fragment has been cataloged to a high degree of precision, but nobody bothered to integrate that in with the Library of Congress, the LC name authority file. So it's not Cicero comma Marcus Tullius. It's Marcus Tullius Cicero or M. Tullius Cicero. And there's no integration between the two. So you have a broad system which covers everything, but at a thin level. So only the most popular authors. And then you have incredibly dense, very powerful knowledge base that covers everybody, but they don't interact. And how do you go about having, marrying the two back together? Well, we're doing it. I don't know who's ever going to take our records, but we're creating metadata that hopefully somebody will upload into the system. But there's no, it's not clear what the center of gravity is. Right. And I mean, you know, long-term, we'd love to be one of those places that integrates that data, you know, by having a consistent identifier scheme and by letting anyone contribute and tag things. You know, it's not going to be overnight, right? It's going to be decades of kind of persuading people that the internet is okay, that, you know, letting people share things is good. But eventually I think there is going to be some big collaborative website. And hopefully it'll be this one where that kind of stuff gets integrated, not just for books, but for, you know, there's lots of areas of science where all the specialized knowledge is really distributed out. I think it's what's significant about your work is the fact that it is open. The idea that it's to be open and editable, and thus it doesn't have to be yours. Right. It has to be your principle that you are making available so it can go more of any way it likes. And that's what's really important. Yeah, I mean, you know, the source code is up there, the data is up there. If someone takes the site and makes a new version of the same principles that, you know, completely outclasses ours, I'll be happy because that means I can go do something else. Father's library, and I have a stack of unpublished books that don't have ISBN numbers and some paper that we're kind of bound together. And I figure I want to scan them and upload their metadata somewhere. Can I stick those into the open library? Yeah, if you scan them, you can create a record and link to the scan. We can, I mean, you know, there's a bit of a question about what stuff belongs in the open library, but right now, you know, we're not going to start kicking stuff out. I mean, you know, it's a, we have lots of servers. We don't have to start taking things out. Can just, you know, if worse comes to worse, we can start tagging which people think are real books and which people think are like, you know, manuscripts and documents and then hide them from annoying people so that they don't complain. In theory, it could become a self-publishing mechanism. You could put your book in there and then order copies from your delivery system. Yeah, I mean, some people have actually, you know, wanted to do that, right? You upload your books to the open library and then you just link people to the page and they order it through print on demand, right? And long-term, I think, you know, I think we'll start to see people do that. We're seeing more and more books published only digitally in PDF files and by having a one-stop solution for getting them in the catalog and getting them printed out for people. I think that's going to become more attractive. And as soon as that happens, don't the pages get spammed? Because I've just written my great Hamlet meets Einstein and it's, so I've added to the Hamlet page. Well, it's the internet, everything gets spammed, right? Mark of success. Just means they love you. You know, and the thing that comes with spam is like very dedicated spam fighters. We were just incredibly pissed off by spammers. And, you know, that's worked very well for Wikipedia. A lot of people don't realize this, but the reason Wikipedia's pages are so spam free is because there's, you know, a group of like 50 people who sit and watch every edit to Wikipedia and say spam or not spam. Like they have it as their screensaver, you know? So, yeah, I mean, hopefully, you know, we're not going to have anywhere near the volume that Wikipedia has any time sued. You know, they have dozens of edits every second. But I think, you know, we'll have fewer number of edits, fewer number of users, and we'll still have these vigilantes who like, we'll go out there and keep it from being too commercial. Can I ask a question of the librarians? We've heard from several of you, but what do you think? And if you like it, what are the opportunities for helping with this? I think it's fascinating. I don't know, I'm not sure how it can help us be good if libraries share their data more. We were certainly talking to the library field more about sharing among ourselves and also trying to integrate into this wider world. The library community is now engaged in rewriting the Anglo-American cataloging ability as referred to and to something else which is hoped to be more in a way or more, you know, able to integrate with other metadata communities. How successful that's going to be is a question because of the desire to sort of maintain the legacy of traditions and data and all that kind of stuff. But we're trying to figure out where the future is taking us and this might be one of the many directions it's going. So what's that mean? I mean, for bibliographic information, we pay to send our data to OCLC. We pay OCLC, so I'm not paying anymore. I don't understand why they wouldn't give it to you. They let Google. Yeah, OCLC won't give it to us. But do you want it in a certain format? Do you want only the monographs? We'll take whatever we can get. We're, you know, we have the programmer is that whatever format we can convert it into something useful. We just want the data and, you know, I mean, we'd be willing to pay. I'm like, we're not going to charge anything, obviously. We'd be willing to contribute time or money or whatever it needs. But it's just getting through the library bureaucracy has been impossible. It's always, oh, you know, I think we need to check with legal and it's too complicated and I mean, I just don't know what the trick is for. So you need to find the right person at OCLC? Yeah. Because I mean, it's better just to deal with OCLC rather than a whole bunch of individual libraries. I would be, but I mean, we've talked, you know, to OCLC at fairly high levels and they just won't give us the time of day anymore because, you know, we're going to be this open repository of library records and they want to keep control of that. And they, you know, they say, well, we're happy to, you know, send us everything you have, but we're not going to give anything back, which is really too bad since they're not for profit. You know, we're supposed to be pursuing the same mission we are. Library records, I don't think can be catalogued anyway. Copyright. Right, they're not copyrightable. OCLC has some regulation. Like they get libraries to sign contracts about how they can use OCLC records before they give them to them. Actually embracing that, I mean, I see that the greatest thing about open library is being that it is an OCLC killer. And that is the greatest thing. It is, you can take the records down. If you get enough people putting the records up, then libraries won't be paying for their catalog records. They never should have been in the first place. And I've seen you talk about this in a way that suggests you don't want to say that outright. Right? But yeah, bound not to say that our goal is to kill Google or OCLC. So I didn't say that. More on that. But I mean, why not just explicitly say, look, you know, the enormous value here, you know, there's all these libraries that are not gonna have to pay for cataloging records. Most libraries don't actually care anyway that much about the quality of the record. There's lots of small libraries in New Hampshire that aren't gonna pay up off the record. Yeah, I mean, they can't afford OCLC's fees, right? I mean, like, you have to pay tens of thousands just to be a member or something. And by having a- No, no, you go through a local. You go through a local consortium? But I mean, we'd love to be a free source for records. Well, I think it's somebody has to create their records for, in fact, it shouldn't be a free way. Though, you know, everybody's trying to figure out where to get them free, but who's gonna create them? Well, I mean, they have been created. New books are created, records are created by the publishers, by the Library of Congress, for cataloging and print. They're created, you know, by the libraries contributing to WorldCat. You know, they're created by librarians all over the place. And it's not like the librarians wanna lock these records up or charge for them. You know, they're part of a public service mission to get books more available. And since it's not copyrightable, we don't have any legal restrictions if we can get our hands on the catalog records from redistributing them. They're just facts, and facts in the U.S. can't be copyrighted. So, we don't think it'll be too hard to use the data if we just get a couple of libraries to agree to contribute their collections. So, OCLC provides a number of services other than taking in data, packaging it, and shipping it back out. In fact, they employ a lot of people to do those intermediate steps. It seems like those kinds of steps, including some culling and some kind of things, that the open library is going to need wherever they come from. And framing the discussion as how this really awesome cooperative can become something different and better in an internet age might help them. I think that being an OCLC killer in the sense of killing this pretty cool institution, I like it, sorry if I'm breaking the stone, is, that's wrong. And, but framing it in terms of, look, a lot of things that you've been doing, you now get for free, and there are lots of new things that people need to do, and we need experienced librarians who have exactly the skill set that your staff has developed over the past couple of decades. That could be pretty neat. So, maybe the funding that they have is on a much larger scale than the kind of funding open library is getting from various sources. I'd like to see that discussion in a public more. Yeah, I mean, I'd love to discuss this with the OCLC people more. I think they're in an unfortunate position. Their mission is the same as ours, but they've built this huge office complex and hired lots of people and started buying up companies and other collections like RLG because they have this enormous revenue stream from the cataloging records and they've kind of gotten away from the public service mission. I think one of the things that's been valuable is we've kind of pressured them to be more open and since we announced, they have this new worldcat.org where you can view OCLC records without paying one of their exorbitant service fees. And so we're hoping that we can keep the pressure on and make them more open, but unfortunately, there's just this kind of shift in mindset between the old generation of how the huge headquarters and Dublin and you charge carefully to the libraries who are in the club and the one where everyone on the web is now caring about this data and wants to contribute to cataloging. I hope we can work together. I still hope, but. So this is to the librarians here again. Please, yeah, I really want more. What is stopping you from putting your hand on your heart and saying, we will deliver our catalog records to open library A and D, what is standing, what would it take for the vision of open library to become the standard that has moved away from OCLC? What would open library have to be? And the first question is obviously way more urgent and timely. Why not just hand over those? Because I have the records I have in my catalog came from OCLC and came under a license arrangement, so I can't give you those. Because I took them from Columbia or Switzerland or some other library. Do you know which one can go? Not easily. Yes. Well, so we've looked at the OCLC contract and it has an exemption for giving the records that you own a copy of the book to another library or a non-profit. And we're both a non-profit and a registered library. So according to the contract, it seems like we can legitimately get a copy. Oh, are we okay, good. So the loopholes, yay loopholes. So it's a non-trivial undertaking to put the records into some deliverable form, but could be done. Or we'll be willing to help out with that? Yeah, if you can just point us at, I assume it's in a cataloging system. You just want a one-time feed, you want regular feed? Just a dump of all the mark records or something like that would be great. But the mark records include a lot of journals. That's fine. We can take care of that. I mean, it'll come in useful. You don't want me to start tackling journals. Well, I mean, I can talk with big Harvard about it. I would be hard. Harvard runs the catalog, so I don't know. But I'm not sure what, you know, where does it take us? So you get a lot more records. So that's the second question. I mean, do you have any non-copyrightable books in your system? I mean, you're just showing us making comics so far. Right, yeah, no, we have a lot of out-of-copyright books and about half a million of them have been scanned, let's see if I can find one with full text. I mean, I'm not particularly interested in promoting in-print commercial books. You know, I mean, Amazon makes an office as far as I'm concerned. I agree. But the common law, if you have Oliver Wendell Holmes, the common law. I know that's free on the web. So here's an example of a book that we've scanned. We put it in this little flip-book interface. But yeah, the reason we have books from publishers is because the publishers are happy handing over the data. The reason we don't have more out-of-print books is because it's been such a struggle getting them from libraries. We, you know, all the people at the project care more about out-of-print books than in-print books and we want to weight the search engines so that those come up more. We want to bring those to more people. The goal is to pull people from the latest hot thing to the older, more interesting things that have been hiding on library shelves for... But if a library has scanned an out-of-print book, why wouldn't you just link to it? Do you need to re-scan the whole thing or do you want to put a TIFF file? No, no, we'd link, yeah, we'd love TIFF files and we'd love a copy so that we can archive it. But we were linking, so Stanford scanned a bunch of books and other people have scanned books and we're linking to all the books that have already been scanned. You know, we don't want a duplicate effort on scanning books at all. We just, again, that's another place where we need records so that we know which books have scanned copies there. There, isn't there a risk that it would sort of annoy if there was something that would upvents and make you in the future? No. Is it you need or no, can't do anything? No, I mean if it's not against our contract, I don't... I wouldn't annoy who. Those he'll see. Oh, okay. I mean, the only thing I can think of is that they're probably planning on doing something like this themselves or maybe thinking that they might be planning something. It's hard to see them doing that. You tell me. I don't know. What, to what? There was a WikiCat project, but as far as I know, it's good. We talked to them and they sent us what they had so far, but yeah, it's kind of dead. Cool idea, they just didn't... Follow through. Maybe you can just get that to you. I think they've all got different jobs. I think we tried talking to them in there. I mean, that was the idea for them to have some subset of data that was world readable and everyone had access to the comment on it. I mean, if you want really... If you want bibliographic data and you really want a big file, I mean, the bigger the file, the cleaner the data has to be or you just get harder and harder to search accurately. It's the people that help you. Yeah, because I know when you're searching for that file, is there anything to do with it? Yeah, we have some microfilms, Karen. You'll get the larger data that you're working with. Yeah, and that's why one of the things we want to do is get review indexes and stuff to try and figure out which of the books people have been talking about throughout history, which of the ones that got reviewed in the New York Times in the 1900s and weight those more heavily than agricultural deposits. Also, by getting library catalogs, we'll see which ones are more widely held. So that's another indication of quality. But we have a lot of people working on this trying to improve the quality of the records, trying to scrub the records and trying to improve the search engine and things like that. But the plan is to do that by getting more data and integrating that into our algorithms. Right? I'd just like to ask you to speak up a little bit so that I can hear you better back here. Sure, sorry. How do you plan on promoting this once you've opened it up? So they're the standard ways of promoting websites, the various blogs and so on. We want to get ranked highly in Google and one of the ways is a way to draw people in. We're also talking about a partnership with Wikipedia. So right now, when Wikipedia cites a book, there's a very tedious way of typing in the details of the book and noting it at the bottom of the page to say that some of the information in this Wikipedia article came from this book. We're working with them on making open library that system so that instead of typing in the details of the book, you search for it on open library and then just link to the open library record. And I think that's gonna draw an enormous number of people to the site. Resolve an age-old problem which is where that little ISBN shortcut goes. Yeah, the current solution's a bit absurd. Actually, every media Wiki instance implements the ISBN shortcut. If anyone here runs media Wiki, if you do a little ISBN colon and then an ISBN number, that'll automatically get converted into a link to some special book page, which if you haven't set up on your site, doesn't do anything. But maybe you could even be on Wikipedia to have the media Wiki done. Yeah, that would be great. What's the, we'll wrap up in a minute. What's the very short list of things that you need in order to make this project succeed? More data, more people contributing and using it and book lovers. Tim's built an amazing community of book lovers that's been very responsive to new features and new ideas and we're hoping to have something similar for open library and a few more programmers wouldn't hurt either. Thank you very much. Yeah, thanks everyone for around to answer questions or talk to people if people want more. Thanks.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQuIjwcEPv8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }
UCb0gJMA6_O21ITwi7t66yIQ	Why I don’t try to change people	My job as a communicator and leader isn’t to try and change people. My job is to influence people towards a better more authentic life and let them figure out what that means for them. Change is the outcome that springs from influences in our lives. What influences us eventually changes us. @VJDaniel thank you for asking the question. #mentorship #communication #mentoring #leadership	[ "Communicator", "Communication", "Masterclass", "Leadership", "Hillsong", "Christianity", "Pastor", "Preacher", "Preaching", "Education", "Entrepreneur", "CEO", "mentoring", "coaching", "tedx", "bethel" ]	2022-01-27T07:45:01	2024-02-15T16:16:02	207	Zq8vjYwATJE	Could you use your communication skills to change people, especially the toxic people in your life? I think changing people, I don't know that I start anymore. I think I used to start with the belief that that was possible and in fact was my responsibility. I don't anymore. I think my role as a communicator and a leader, Daniel, and I guess to a life's degree, yours too and all that you do, is this awareness that the best we can do is to share what we want to share as best as we can, do it well, and let that seed fall where it may. I'll go back to this idea that I've shifted my approach to humans from what I call an industrial approach to an agricultural approach. There are two main ways to approach growing people, helping people. One is industrial, one is agricultural. An industrial approach I think is more a manufacturing batch mentality. You know, I want a hundred of these, which is why our education system in the West is so broken. The education system is an industrialized approach to kids. It's obsessed with box ticking and test results and exam results. It has no interest at all in the children's personal flourishing according to their own kinds of intelligence, because schools are obsessed with one kind of intelligence, academic. So we have an education system where kids spend a lot of their time where they are not celebrated for who they are, so they don't feel seen or listened to in large chunks of their lives unless parents get more proactive in those kids' development. Schools tend to shape them in a way that's unhelpful to their development. And so I think an agricultural approach where you sow a seed like a farmer does in people's lives and then step back like Jesus did and let that soil condition do whatever it does in response to that seed is a much better approach. So I don't try to change people by this manufacturing compliance-based, foreshoot-into-a-mold mentality. I'm much more relaxed into this rhythm for 25 years now of, here's an idea. It may be an uncomfortable one. It's to do with toxic people, toxic relationships. Here's what I've learned about that. Here's how I think things can be better in that area. And I shared it much more as an idea and a suggestion. I'm going to tell you the downsides. I'm going to tell you the possible ways to fix it. I'm after, I think, sowing a seed. I'm after gradual influence that may lead to change, but I'm not trying to change anybody in the 30 minutes I'm speaking. My energy needs to, the change energy potentially becomes too aggressive and confrontational and finger-waggy. I think the influence that brings gradual change energy suits me better at my age and stage of life. And I was done actually for 20 years, much more conversational, suggesting, here's an idea. Why not try this? That may lead to change. So yes, great communication should be involved in bringing change, but through the delivery system, I think, of influence.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq8vjYwATJE", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Gus, you have some updates for us. Hopefully we were trying to get you guys engaged in some technical support for farmers looking for assistance. Why don't you just tell us what's happened since we spoke with you? Okay, well, Mr. Chairman, we're acting Chairman. Thank you very much. And Senators Hardy and Senator Collarmore, it's good to be with you today. Joining me are people who will be able to better answer your questions as you delve down, which are Ella Chapin, the director of our Farm and Forest Viability Program, who's actually joining us from her vacation. So thanks, Ella, for breaking away from it. And Mariah Knopf, who is the person at the other end of the phone when people do call our offices looking for assistance. And I'm just going to briefly say a few things. We began, and you got a report from us that I think Linda has and has posted on her activities through July. But really, from the beginning of the pandemic, we turned our Farm and Forest Viability resources toward helping farmers navigate through the pandemic. We lab generalists gave us $50,000 because they understood we could immediately begin to connect people with resources. And there's really been two forms of work. And you followed up them with an appropriation of $192,000, which we're using some of, but most of which is going to both private contractors that we have long working relationships with, as well as some of our usual partners. And Ella will, it's in the report, but Ella will go into more detail. There's been two focuses of our work to this point. One has clearly been helping people navigate the availability of resources, whether they've been federal in nature, like the PPP program, or now that the agency of agriculture is standing up programs helping them with that. We've also helped a number of ag businesses and forestry businesses who have needed to pivot their businesses into dealing with and developing the plans to do that. And Mariah's happy to share with you some of those stories, but that's the brief overview, the work when we reported to you at the end of July had touched 146 businesses were now well past 260 businesses that have been seeking assistance. And I think Linda, do you have a slide you can share with the committee that Jen provided this morning? So why don't we just put that up for a moment. And so this just sort of sums up the types of work and the types of assistance that we've been providing, whether it's financial and cash flow planning, dealing with shifting markets, developing online and direct sales strategies, but also health, well-being and mediation resources. When we reported to you at the end of July, I think at that time 45% of the businesses would help for dairies, obviously with a rollout of the ag agency's dairy program that's gone up. As you would expect, it's a little bit more than half, but there's a lot of work going to other parts of the working lands, businesses that include value added enterprises, slaughter, diversified lofts, livestock produce, and so on and so forth, as you can see. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to Ella to go a little bit deeper than I have. And then, and we're happy to answer your questions. And I think we're hoping to not take more than about 15 minutes and overview and be ready to answer whatever questions you have for us. So Ella, the floor is yours. Thanks, Gus. Thanks, everyone. Thanks, Gus. I'm just going to add a little bit more detail and can answer any big picture questions folks have. And then, Mariah will share some stories from the work. Essentially, we have long always been the long term sort of non-emergency planning program supporting many organizations around the state that do the business assistance work, business coaching work across the state, including UVM Extension, Intervail, NOFA, the Center for Narcultural Economy, Wyndham Grows, the Sustainable Jobs Fund, basically every organization that does really in-depth business coaching, business advising for the agricultural sector. And now also in the wood product sector, we fund and guide that work through our long term business assistance. When we, in mid-March, when we realized things were really changing rapidly for businesses in our sector, not to mention every individual in the state, we really launched an essentially new and slightly different version of our program, this rapid response business coaching, which you've heard about. I just want to articulate that it is a really different format and structure, although it does use many of the same business coaches. We've leaned very heavily since mid-March on private sector independent business consultants who had more flexibility than many of the organizations in our network during a time when many of our organizations had lower capacity in staff with children who were at home and other needs. So consultants have really helped fill a lot of the gaps that we saw starting in mid-March, but at this point and with the CRF money, we are particularly supporting those organizations in our network to take on new projects to do COVID related rapid response assistance. So we've really stood up a new program, not unlike what we did after Irene, but Irene didn't have nearly the scale of impacting the number of businesses that obviously we're seeing today during this pandemic. So we feel really good that we've been able to do this with the financial support from WELEB and a few other smaller contributions we received in the spring. And now with the CRF money to extend this work through December, it's been incredibly important to the businesses that have asked for help. And it's also been really critically important for a lot of the organizations and particularly the agency of ag as they launch the dairy and then the non-dairy grant programs as well as the Department of Forest Parks and Rec and other agencies were providing a lot of sub support structure for folks who are trying to navigate those grant programs. And in March and April and into May, we were primarily supporting or a huge amount of our support was going to businesses trying to navigate federal programs, IDLE and the PPP and other loan and grant and unemployment programs. So that's really been where the report that we submitted to you for July 31st shows that about 59% of clients that we've helped out of 192 helped through the end of July had received help around sort of financial planning and cash flow management and figuring out the rapid changes and what was happening with our business financially. Sometimes that's used to also then apply for some of these relief programs, but 87% of clients had received help with one of the various state or federal relief programs. 41% of businesses that had been through our program across the different types of businesses that you see on your screen had received help with changing markets and losing some markets and finding new places for their products. 30% had received specifically help with changing retail, going either online or to retail sales channels and the sort of internet infrastructure or sales and marketing infrastructure that needed to change in order to do that. And then some smaller percentages, but still very equally important, helping folks access new forms of capital, helping folks with land access and transfer issues that relate to COVID and then about 20% needing help with sort of regulatory and food safety and new COVID related procedures and practices. So those are there's just a real range of types of assistance that people have gotten. You saw sort of the on your screen sort of a summary of that, but I just wanted to help you understand that much or most of what we've been doing is helping people navigate sort of financial and market sales related shifts and particularly accessing the various many various federal and state programs. I wanted to also mention that this has been a really interesting opportunity to reach some types of businesses that or some business owners that maybe in the past had not sought out help from the viability network and we're seeing folks come in because they're perhaps applying to one of the state grant programs and they needed some help just understanding how best to do that and they've gotten just a little bit of coaching from either Mariah on the phone and on our staff or she's put them in touch with a business coach to do a little further assistance and then they realize oh the viability program overall could help us in the long run with our business and so we are seeing some folks come in through this rapid response program and ending up in our our viability program overall for the longer term. So I think I will oh and then I wanted to just go over sort of how the CRF funds are going out the door. We have about a hundred thousand a little more than a hundred thousand of the hundred and ninety two thousand committed to about half a dozen organizations and almost a half a dozen independent consultants to do various types of business coaching programs. A couple of organizations are running some cohort programs where peers hear from each other about how they're navigating COVID time. They are then getting one-on-one business coaching on the side so both the Sustainable Jobs Fund is running a couple cohort groups as well as Wyndham Grows. The NOFA Vermont is receiving some funds to launch a marketing and sales assistance program as well as do some work with meat processing businesses giving an extension and and Farm First and the Vermont Ag Mediation Program are all receiving some funds to do some additional work with clients that we send their way or that they hear of that need COVID related transition help and and I think that's most of the organizations that we are currently contracting with. So a lot of those funds are already contracted and and getting some work done on the ground and we expect a lot of that work to happen during sort of late August through through the beginning of December. Well great. Sarah Collamore. Thank you Senator Pearson. Thank you very much Ella and Gus and Mariah for joining us this morning. If I did the math correctly and maybe this is in the total report which I admit I have not read yet but if 55 percent of the folks that you've helped out were dairy I'm assuming that's about 143 dairy farmers of 55 percent of 261. Can you break down how many were large medium and small and do you know or perhaps is that a question for the agency of agriculture how many of those farmers have actually received a check by now and then the same would be true for the non-dairy to be fair to everybody. Yeah Mariah might have a sense of a breakdown between small medium and large or for the dairy farms that we've been helping but it's been a real breadth across the board. You know as you know there are far fewer LFOs and MFOs and there are CSFOs and small dairy farms. I know that what generally we've helped many many many small and CSFO dairy farms just trying to figure out eligibility and how to access and prepare their financial materials for the dairy grant program. I think we've also helped with sort of changing business models and doing some direct sales for dairy farmers across the spectrum of small to large but we definitely over the past month have helped a very large number of dairy farms. In fact at one point when we got a report from the agency this was probably two to two and a half weeks ago now we heard that about half of the completed applications they had received and that they were reviewing had had help from one of our advisors. I don't know if that stat is still true but maybe Mariah can provide a little bit of an update and and definitely I don't think we're aware how many folks have gotten checks but we know that there is you know a very multi-step process at the AG agency with like I think three levels of review so we know it does take time once they have completed applications and getting to a completed application it's not easy. Thank you. Mariah did you want to chime in? Yeah I can speak a little bit to that and thank you Senator Collin Moore for the question. So in terms of the the size question I would agree with Ella that we've worked with the majority on the the small and certified small operations we don't have the exact numbers on the breakdown of each farm type as also not not every farm we work with ultimately fills out the intake form that we have so I can give you kind of that general sense and and that we have worked with a real diversity of businesses and that especially seeing the need for support among smaller dairies with who don't have computer access with help for this the STERI grant application. I would also say in terms of the whether you know how many folks have received payment at this time the agency of agriculture is keeping very detailed track of that and they do have that broken down by farm size and whether or not those farms are hitting their maximum amount. What I understand from the agency as of our last update is that large farms have all hit their caps basically on just milk price losses alone whereas small farms and certified small farms are not hitting their cap on the price loss alone and need to include other economic harms in those applications. Thank you. Ella well does anybody else have a question Ella you Senator Hardy. Oh that's okay go ahead Chris you can go first. Well Ella you mentioned something that as I re-listen in my mind as I'm organizing my life here is like excuse me for being late and everything. You mentioned that farmers are now engaging with your other services outside of COVID relief and can you just tease that out a little bit because this committee went round and round about the idea that as we're using this to reach out to farmers we ought to make sure everybody knows that some of these resources are available and it was bizarrely challenging to get that through in the end but it sounds like maybe that was worthwhile and we don't get to celebrate victories very often so could you just tease that out a little bit for us. Sure um our long-term business planning program is essentially a two-year commitment by the by the client by the business owner or operator or their family and so it's a it's a pretty it's a pretty deep dive and often a business coming into our program might get to know one of our business advisors first or be working with NOFA or the Interval or UVM or one of the organizations on some other programming maybe more production related and they hear that they could work with that same advisor or someone else in that organization or within our network on you know a business plan or a succession plan but you know the depth of our regular programming is is quite substantial and people sometimes think about it for years before they say okay I'm really ready for that program so at least for VHCB our our viability program has always focused on long-term deep engagement with clients and and conversely the client or the business needs to be ready to make that kind of longer-term commitment and be looking at really big picture planning issues in their business and that said many of our organizations that we fund and support and are part of the viability network doing that kind of work also have their own programs that are for shorter stints of assistance whether they focus on beginning farmers or they focus on production help or whatever it is so there's multiple entry points for folks into our network and then ultimately to a longer term business assistance program when it's an appropriate fit because our because VHCB manages this as sort of a funder and and providing guidance and and ensuring sort of the quality control of the program and our staff don't actually deliver that business assistance you know it's a network that does that you know we've we've been able to stay focused on that long-term assistance really in-depth work while those other organizations provide some of those other services where was I going with that thought I think when Irene hit none of our organizations really felt like they had the right funding to do the emergency kind of planning work that they needed to do to just help people assess their financial situation and yet it was the same group of business advisors that had the right skill set for that so we at the time just sort of released some of our contract some of our contracted funds that were out there already with organizations we said you know instead of doing three really in-depth projects with three farms really in-depth why don't you work with 30 businesses in a rapid way to help them through Irene we were able to sort of redeploy some of our resources that way at the time of Irene particularly with UVM extension and that was really effective so we doing that now and we started off with redeploying some of our funds the same way as we had in Irene but it was nowhere near the resources needed to address the COVID pandemic so what I think I'm trying to say is in that shift the same organizations and people are available to do really short-term rapid response work but we and they are able to attach them to the to the whole resource network that's out there and so it's a great way to get people sort of into a system of assistance and then help guide them to the right resources so sometimes Mariah is just redirecting their interest to a resource that exists out there and sometimes we're able to sort of patch in for like a six hour consulting stint to help people sort of get over the hump of the immediate decision they need to make do I apply for PPP or IDLE or you know do I you know what what funding source do I do I need to go and how do I go about being prepared for that to then like okay now I need to think like now I know I know I got the PPP loan what am I going to do in my business like am I going to stay open or am I going to change sales channels and that can be a longer term spot I think it'd be maybe worth jumping in well I know Senator Hardy you had a question but I would like to make some time for Mariah to just share a couple of the stories because I think that'll help give some examples of this and so we are seeing a couple of those businesses transition from the sort of COVID CRF type funded assistance to where we have other funding resources for the long-term business assistance and other resources that exist out there that don't need to be covered by CRF dollars okay thank you Senator Hardy do you want to jump in with a question or should we go ahead well I'm happy to hear from Mariah one quick thing though is Linda do you have this longer report that Ella and Gus referred to I can't find it on the BHCB website or our committee website so maybe if you could email it to us or something so we have it to look at and also Ella are you doing another one sort of an update at some point okay that would be great you'll have one next week but I'd love to hear Mariah and then I have a couple other just small questions okay turning to you Mariah thank you thank you so much yeah absolutely um so in terms of kind of how we're also trying to structure the the services that we're providing for COVID response and kind of creating that continuum of service that really attaches to our longer viability program is also when I'm for instance making matches with businesses who need certain types of support that are you know they may indicate some short-term support needs as well as longer-term ones so part of what I'm I'm doing with folks is matching them with an advisor in our network that maybe that would be a great fit for them for longer-term advising as well and so really as as folks may know working with farms through these variety of challenges it's really important to build that relationship and that trust with an advisor especially when looking at that that longer term two-year programming so this is a really great opportunity to to build those relationships with an advisor network as well as connect them with the various resources across the state so that's been a really great entry point and then just in terms of a story that that kind of captures that so we had one larger operation in East Montpelier that was experiencing large losses in in their milk price and declines due to quota from their cooperative and reached out to us for COVID support to to assess that but also were considering diversification strategies to not only make up for those losses but also seeing a need in their community for local meat products and thinking that that may be a great place for them to enter the market diversify their market streams be more viable into the future while also supporting their community with food security challenges and so they entered our COVID response program were able to connect with an advisor to kind of begin the initial initial strategic planning work on that and then realizing that there's a lot more planning to do a lot more in-depth financial analysis and market research about this new diversified meat enterprise that they've actually gone on to enroll in our full program as as we recognize the need for additional resources and support in the longer term for that for that enterprise so that's that's one example of how kind of this service flow has been really effective for folks. Are there any examples of people that you haven't been helping in the short term but are gaining knowledge about the longer term options this was one of the things that we were also trying to accomplish? Yeah I can speak a little bit to that Senator Pearson so I'm receiving a variety of phone calls directly for varying types of support and within those phone calls you know even if it's something like I don't have my unique dairy identification number for for this program which you know ultimately is not something I can I can particularly help them with is I don't work on that application directly but that within that conversation I'm able to ask more about their business what kind of other things they're experiencing and you know even being able to offer you know not only the resources of our program in our extended network and explaining A what our program is and what we do in the short term period as well as the long term but also being able to provide information for instance you know speaking with a farm who is having challenges paying their utility bills and we're sharing that story with me I was able to say well I believe that there's just a program that's been launched that is able to cover some of those costs through the agency of commerce and community development let me connect you with the person who can talk to you about that program so I think that it's been a really great opportunity to make sure people are connected with a variety of resources that the state is offering including those of our program thank you Sarah Hardy yeah thank you I was looking for some stories so that's helpful to hear those directly and I I'm assuming that in your your dairy numbers are also cheese processors are you working with cheese processors okay I assumed that um and I think Caroline and um Maddie are going to speak to this issue but I'm wondering what you all are seeing in terms of the complexity of the application itself we've heard varying stories as to whether the application is easy or not easy and it sounds like if you they need a lot of technical assistance it may be more complicated and how do you come is that true are you finding that people are finding the application complicated and how does it compare to the sort of general business application um in terms of its complexity to complete and actually get money again I can take a first stab at that question although again Mariah might have some very specific examples she can share since she's the one on the phone with folks um we are definitely finding and hearing that the dairy grant application is generally more complex it has it has more questions and more specific information that it that's required then um then particularly the accd or the fpr applications that came with some very different criteria and at least from our business advisors perspective we've worked really um at length before and during the launch of the dairy program and the non-dairy program to uh to just work with that ag agency to think about how they can evaluate certain financial criteria so I think that it's just been a complex process and standing up these programs with the moment's notice has just been an incredible lift for each agency and and for us too so we've been able to work really closely with the ag agency on all of this having like weekly or multi calls every week to sort of hear where they're at with the launch of the application and since then so maybe Mariah can provide a couple of of examples but it's um we're finding generally that when people can access the help which we're providing as well as many others are they can get the answers and move forward and figure out the application and we were really asked to help everyone who didn't have computer access because all these programs are not accepting anything other than electronic applications so that you know just that piece is is a challenge for some um so it just each business seems to need a different level of help and have slightly different questions that they need help with and some need a lot of support and some need less but certainly it is a complex application unfortunately Mariah are you working also with the the forest products yes that's going through the department of forest parks and rec you are doing working is that as complicated or is that more simple I can speak a little bit to that I would say on on the forest side it's it's mainly focusing on the change in revenue from 2019 to that same period in 2020 and not really including any of you know identifying the other economic harms and so I think that to go back a step to to thinking about some of the the challenges with the dairy application I think part of that is just um technical access and ability among the the primary audience for for that grant program and that that that has just been a challenge and also recognizing you know that there there is a lack of broadband access and that some folks just don't don't have access to those um to that type of technology so I think that that's been a challenge and for those that do have access there's there's just some challenges related to um getting the proper documentation together and so what I would say that this this program has also kind of put a fine point on is the need for additional technical assistance support around bookkeeping and and making sure that those financial records are readily available for for programs like this I think that we saw that same exact issue with the federal uh relief applications as well um and so uh yeah I would say that that those have been the challenges and then around kind of that other economic harm section it's just kind of figuring out what a what are the impacts that I've experienced and really understanding those because as we know dairy farmers don't are saying you know I I'm just doing my best I'm doing my work and may not want to necessarily reach out and and feel like they're asking for support and preventing another person from getting it so um I think that just you know a communication around that has been important as well knowing that these funds are available for you you're not taking away from anybody else to to apply and to look at those other economic harms I'm happy to happy to go into detail as needed on on those items thank you sir another person could you guys give us a a sense of how long it might take uh a farmer to fill out an application both on the non-dairy side and the dairy side is it a five-minute processor is it a half hour or somewhere in between I think a lot of the work has to do not with filling out the application but preparing and figuring out the numbers you're going to put in the application so it really is that bookkeeping side and so the range I think it can take hours and hours and hours um and often may need communication with a bookkeeper or an accountant or where those folks aren't readily you know aren't on contract or on you know where businesses don't necessarily have someone that they can that they work with continually uh it means either they are spending a lot of time trying to figure that out or they're getting help from a business advisor or someone who's coaching them through that process or even showing up and doing a physically distanced visit with them to sort of help organize their financial information um so that's where the time um mostly is and that's where there's also a range from someone who has you know their monthly figures when it's not a quarterly report you need if you're looking at march through april or whatever the time period is and each of these programs is different um it's finding the right information in the right format and getting that together so that then you can identify either your changes in revenues or your changes in expenditures um and having the right information so that can take anywhere I'd say for maybe an hour for folks and my I'm just sort of guessing based on my general knowledge so feel free to jump in with more specifics but anywhere from you know maybe like an hour to prep and then I don't think it has to take super long to fill out the application um to many hours and what I think is happening in many scenarios because the information isn't crystal clear and many things need clarification from the agency so the agency has issued many versions of clarifications and FAC pages to sort of help clarify the application um is that uh you know many farmers will go through the submittal process and then be told that that it's not um that not all the information is the application isn't complete and that there's more work to be done so sometimes there's another phase of that. Mariah do you want to add some detail there? Yeah absolutely thank you and great question as well um I would absolutely agree that the time can be really wide ranging I'd say from what I'm hearing from the advisors that much more time is spent with the small operations and certified small farm operations just given that they don't hit their cap grant award as as you know quote-unquote easily as perhaps the larger operations just really on milk price alone and that there's just more documentation that need to be gathered more understanding of the justification etc. I think another complexity that is that kind of was pre-existing is that there are a variety of milk cooperatives in the state and they each pay farmers in slightly different ways or their checks look slightly different so I think a lot of information was needed about kind of which line items to look at depending on which cooperative is sending you your milk check and our network has done a lot of really great work to actually connect with um some of the milk cooperatives to actually be able to have them forward digitized milk checks directly to business advisors so that's helped streamline some of the process and we're really trying to leverage those relationships as well throughout throughout this advising work and can I just jump in on the non-dairy side because I think your question was related to both Senator Kalmar um yes on the on the non-dairy side I think we're similarly seeing a real range again but um and we haven't done as much on that just because it's more newly released and we haven't received as many requests for help but uh we did do a lot of work with the agency pre-launch of that program just around how to how to address the fact that it looks at profitability not just revenues and expenditures and um and that that I think that's been a real challenge just because even just the term profitability can be uh you know can be looked at in so many different ways and um and so uh similarly I think we're finding people it takes a real range there's been a lot of need for clarification on different aspects of the application and and criteria um and uh and if anything um either folks are realizing very early on that they're not going to they're not going to have the they're not going to fall into the criteria in the right way to show the loss in profits in profits um or they're you know really struggling to work through those different pieces marina did you want to add anything I think I would just add an additional complexity for especially that the diversified folks are kind of their eligibility just in general for relief programming in terms of what program should they be accessing like what are they most eligible for and or what program might be offering the most relief and given that businesses are generally not allowed to apply for more than one I think that there's just been some some confusion around when where and how to best access that relief given given the variety of programs and different timing rollouts of them my guess also is I didn't mean to interrupt as our chair is want to say the small guys are feeling this to a greater degree I think because they don't have people so to speak in their office that are charged with just following all the uh you know the the rules and the regulation I mean these are folks that are working every single day and they can't take time away from their work to be kind of trapped with all this paperwork to do before so I think it's especially important that we uh I don't know what we can do but I have a feeling that they're impacted to a greater degree than a very large organization which might have someone that that's their job to keep track of all this yeah I think that's true for the vast majority of our firm and food business operations unless you're really at a pretty significant scale folks are not only you know in they have to work in their operation not just on their operation every day and on top of it during this time people have less you know may have issues with employees and labor availability you know they're they're everybody's working double time as we all know so it is that has been a major challenge and I but I do think that this program has relieved that extensively and we have been able to meet each business that has come through our door we've been able to get them help and to help walk them through that and um and answer some of their immediate questions and then coach them through that process and support that process thank you yeah let's have senator hardy she's been waiting thanks senator Pearson um I I mean I agree on what senator colmore just said about you know most of the small farmers are are running pretty much everything on their farm and don't have time to fill an application but it's sort of a catch 22 because they're the ones that need the most help so you know I'm really grateful for you guys being able to help them um and I also just want to note um one of the reasons I think that it's probably more complicated for them is because we gave a larger chunk um we we uh downloaded the the aid so that the small farms would get the bigger grants so it would go beyond just their milk losses um to being able to have uh other economic harm included in and that makes it more complicated but it also means they're getting more money um so I did want to note that that you know the complexity comes with more aid um and you know if we could have been more prescient about how how to make it simpler that would have been nice but also I think it was intentional that we really wanted the small farms and small processors to get a larger grant um because we knew they were suffering more so um hopefully the work is worth it for them and I'm you know really grateful that you're all there to help them through a complicated process mr chair yeah thank you sorry I had to be away for a few minutes but I'm glad I'm back um I'm wondering when you do the uh small farms in there you know you take their price of milk is the extra charge that the co-ops are charging uh farmers uh because of COVID uh extra hauling costs that the haulers are getting uh because of COVID is that all added in those losses are those added into the overall uh calculations go ahead mariah I don't know the answer to that question senator star but maybe mariah has some yeah thank you senator star and yes um those those charges and and again they come in a variety of forms depending on the cooperative some of them are a COVID related surcharge some of them are um other other types of like you know five dollars per hundred weight for over over supply milk and things like that those are all included that's something that our network has worked with the agency on to develop out some frequently asked question language around and that those will be included under the um other economic harm section and there's now language being released um that should be um on the agency's website at some point soon if it's not yet around um how to claim that on the application and how to add that together and document that properly yeah it's good um when we talk about small farmers and recognizing that no matter the nature of the farm they're probably pretty flat out all day I'm curious if you've been able to develop resources that they can access after hours in other words obviously if it were me I would want to call mariah and have her help directly on the phone that would be just a great comfort but at 8 p.m. or 9 9 p.m. or whatever that's probably not realistic I'm hoping mariah that they don't get you at some level for your life are there webinars or or little videos or anything like that you've been able to do so that people can get some help more independently but still gain some of the knowledge you guys have have learned yeah thank you great great question senator pierson and absolutely I would definitely send all the thanks and and commend our partners at the agency for really developing out some really fantastic resources on their website um they not only have an application guide that that can show you the different sections of the application they have webinars for both the dairy and non-dairy application I believe uploaded to their site so folks can kind of see a walkthrough of that application and see the questions that were asked and answered on those webinars they've also are consistently updating that frequently asked questions section that are really pointed questions that also are our network of business advisors has helped to develop and suss out the answers to the issues that we're coming across when we're working with folks um so all of that is available after after hours at any point in that I I guide a lot of folks there and walks through those those questions with them as do our our business advisors as well so that's been a really fantastic repository of information great to add I do I'm not sure if your question was aimed particularly around the grants programs that the state's launching but in addition I know that some of our Sierra funding is going to help UVM do some digital um online educational materials that are COVID related uh around possibly digital marketing resources or cash flow planning tools um and that's so I think some of our partners are also doing some of that work where they see a good fit to make something just more widely available but I also will say that most or many of our business advisors are available at 8 p.m. and are talking to folks off hours just because that's how it works to consider particularly dairy farmers but just business owners in general well thank you hopefully Mariah's not but um many of our business advisors that they work on a flexible schedule are are definitely adapting their time to be available absolutely and I would just add really quickly that we do have a for general broader resources we have created a resource page that lives on our website for all working lands businesses and that's broken down by different resource types and that that is kept up to date as well maybe have maybe you've talked about this we're going to do a COVID change you know we're going to make some amendments to some of our programs that we have put out and have you run across any particular issue that we should consider maybe changing when we get to that point I think the big issues we hear about and that you're probably going to hear about in a few minutes from others who are about to provide testimony um although it's really hard to imagine changing criteria midstream but you know I'm sure that has to be taken into consideration but um the profitability piece for the non-dairy programs has probably been the the biggest the biggest criteria that challenge particularly because it's not easy to fairly and consistently define and assess profitability um so that's something that our business advisors weighed in on a lot but they're as you know you know that would require a statutory change and then just the more criteria and eligibility could be more even across different programs is what we hear is just really challenging for both businesses that are trying to figure out which program is the best fit if they're if they're not a dairy or a non-working lands business those who fall in between have been like Mariah said sort of looking at different programs and trying to figure out where they'd be a best fit who might that who might that be with that particular question what type of business I think you've got like maple businesses and um value-added businesses and um a real range I mean I I think it's probably ultimately helpful for the business to be able to have access to a couple programs because like Mariah said you know they're looking where they might be eligible for the most funding and so that flexibility but but it is confusing um so I'm not sure I'm I'm not suggesting any change I'm just sharing sort of what we're hearing from businesses as the biggest challenges are around that and from business advisors around that profitability use of profitability instead of just looking at revenues or expenses is the by far the biggest challenge along with I guess the one other one that I would mention that we've heard is that that really small farms that are under 10,000 and gross income are excluded um and that so that leaves some very small farms or very beginning farmers without access um that's that's just what we've sort of heard Mariah anything you would add to those three major categories um I guess the the only area that I would add and and with understanding that that the timing for these programs is really based around spending for the the and the requirements of the CRF funds themselves but that October 1st deadline just I've received a lot of questions about well how am I supposed to receive support for you know September October November and December losses and so just that that timing I know has been a challenge for for businesses out there yeah and uh Rose yeah I'm trying to this may be a question for just the room or the virtual room I'm trying to remember back to our conversations when we were putting together these um grant programs about this whole question of profitability and the testimony we took on that and you know a lot of the tests some of the testimony that I remember was concerned that we not direct grant money to quote unquote profitable businesses and that it was really clear that dairies were losing money but it was less clear that other kinds of farms were losing money but do you all recall did you come in Ella or Gus um and and talk to us about that that issue um or hear from your business advisors at the time because I don't remember testimony about it I mean it certainly makes sense and I understand the complexities and looking back I wish we had had testimony that would have directed us in a different way so that we aren't in this position but I don't remember anyone coming in and red flagging this in this way so I'm just curious if anyone else does I don't I don't I almost I almost think that it might have been someone from the agency or maybe even uh you know people that advised us that you can't take COVID money and give it to somebody that's already making money and not losing you know their shirt because there's so many people we need the money for those that are really hurting and you know but I like you Ruth I didn't hear a soul say you know this is going to be a problem I could weigh in on that this is Maddie from NOFA I'm on the phone um I don't know if y'all can hear me yeah did you say something about that Maddie we did yeah in the um one of the letters that NOFA and real vermont submitted we had actually specifically raised this as an issue um when you all were considering the could the creation of the non-dairy program um and you know I think the dynamic that was at play to my recollection was that particularly the house ag committee and the agency of ag really were were only wanting to give the funding to dairy farms um and so we had come in to testify and really share some stories of the types of losses and expenses that non-dairy and diversified farms were facing um and it is you know it's a much more nuanced picture because dairy farms across the board with the exception of you know some organic farms were just losing money you know on their milk on their bulk you know milk price um but for other farms it's a much more nuanced situation because they may have lost you know had substantial losses in some areas but we're able to pivot um but the issue is that holding them to this strict standard of being completely unprofitable um really is not equitable with this the questions that you're asking of other types of businesses um but to answer Ruth's question yes we did um bring this up as an issue and I'm not I'm not really sure but it didn't it didn't seem like it got through when we raised it back in May or June well of course the big fight was to get the non-dairy guys in to get money right uh exactly along with forestry and and uh you know the fairs and all these and I mean this this was all brand new to the entire uh senate and legislature and I mean so I guess if we only screwed up on a couple of things we're pretty fortunate uh well I I just want to add so Maddie um thank you for uh that reminder and I do and Bobby or Senator Starr also because that my recollection is because we were in this position where we were trying to get any money to non-dairy this was sort of a compromised position so that makes much more sense to me now that I remember back to that whole dispute about whether or not there would be any funding so this sort of provision was a compromise to provide so that that is a good reminder that we were in this position of trying to get any money for non-dairy farmers at all so thank you yeah uh yeah Ella or Anthony I'll get I'll get you too I'm sorry Ella I'll just quickly say that um we didn't provide testimony directly on this before and we don't quite feel like we're the right experts to do so now but um both no at NOFA our business specialists that we support Jen Miller um you know is very in tune with the financial intricacies of how you know how businesses you know how financials work with a wide variety of business um types and I would also offer you know Mark Canella at the UVM uh a farm viability program who's a business specialist and on the staff at UVM would probably both be excellent folks to ask more detailed questions about that and they're both helping actively helping with application submissions so they also understand the agency's programs and what a change could implicate so um you know I think we have multiple organizations including NOFA's on the phone today that can provide some of that feedback yeah um Anthony I think you had a question no actually I was just going to say Maddie already said what I was basically going to say that we were trying to get the non-dairy included and we basically accepted a compromise without thinking it through enough this no net profitability thing was something that if we had really thought about it more we probably wouldn't have done it but we were in a we were in a crunch time to try to get something done we wanted to make sure a non-dairy got in there and we basically went along with something that turned out not to be very workable for the non-dairy folks as like you said Bobby was one of very few mistakes so we're probably better off at least something we might be able to fix it's a policy question you know it's not as easy as changing the dates at the deadlines but it's something that we really need to think long and hard about making it possible for these folks six to apply for and actually getting some revenue from what uh Michael so yesterday when I was testifying in house ag this question came up and the agency uh testified that they have combined the non-dairy program with the working lands grant program and the application for non-dairy and working lands is the same application so if you're working through your application and you put in that you had a profit during that time frame it's not that you're disqualified from aid you just get shifted to the working lands fund source of funds so there's still funding and and assistance available to those those non-dairy operations that that had a profit during that time frame I don't know if that change is what you want to do but I think that that is something that you should also keep in mind so I'd like to respond to that if possible that's maddie this is it's maddie I would just want to respond to that when there's time yeah uh we're gonna uh we're gonna switch gears here pretty quick are there other questions for Ella or Gus or Mariah to uh Gus did you have something well just as you think about what's all ahead of us I just wanted to add not to this point of a non-dairy but um we don't know what congress will do when they come back our delegation is pushing for an extension of the December 30th deadline they're also pushing for more money to come through the next bill if there is a bill and so I just would encourage you to think about given that you'll probably be at the end of your session or out of a session how do you deal with that um so our program will run out of funding December 30th and the assistance so you I just I don't have a solution today but we're happy to work with the committee about what kind of contingency plans are there should there be an extension of the December 30th deadline and or more funding uh to support the agriculture and working lands businesses of the state I think just has to be part of your thinking whether you delegate to join fiscal or do something but hopefully there's gonna both be an extension and some more resources yeah thanks for that Gus yeah we we've already talked and approached about the date I brought that up a couple of different times and and that seems to be an issue that we can deal with because what they don't want to do is complicate you know previous people that have applied with with changes in the system and disrupt the the programs and I think the agency is supporting changing the date um which will make it much easier um so uh and if if we do have more money coming which like Gus said God only knows I guess and probably he doesn't either uh if if those guys will go to work and and help the the economy um but um so we we don't need to make drastic changes if if the deal's working for the non-dairy to get switched into the working lands as Michael just stated I think they've got or they got six six million or they've got quite a lot of money right and 3.5 million how many 3.5 yeah and have Maddie have any of your people run into a problem dealing with with that so I think that the bigger issue is you know I think Michael's right that folks will get funneled into the working lands program if they you know were in fact profitable um the problem is that they still won't be able to touch that five million you know I'm glad that in some ways the agency combined those two programs um but it really obscures this issue and my concern is that anyone who was remotely profitable is going to get funneled to the working lands program which is a smaller pot of money and also has a higher cap I think the cap is 50 000 so that might get used up more quickly it's also first come first serve I'm like the dairy program uh and so that 3.5 million which has you know a higher cap and less strict eligibility might get used up really quickly and the five million that has this no net profit provision attached will just sit there so that's the heart of my concern so are you saying that most of these non-dairy businesses are making money I don't know the answer to that to be honest with you um I couldn't give you an estimate of how many of these businesses are making money but no net profit is a really strict criteria to impose only on this particular class of businesses and it just I think it'll be interesting to see the reports that come back from the agency of ag and I think it'll be really important for them to report on these two pots of funding or actually really three pots of funding because the the 3.5 from working lands was in two different bills but I think it will be really interesting to see the breakdown in how those different pots are being spent down as of their September 1st report as due next week because again that's my concern that businesses won't be able to touch that five million and frankly the criteria that they show no net profit is just really inequitable and challenging because you all probably know farmers are not like the most profitable businesses to begin with so imposing this standard on them during a pandemic when they've had to work so hard and have had such losses they've lost entire you know market channels and such expenses if they've maintained even say they were say they made a hundred dollars in profit between March 1st and August 1st that does not by any stretch mean that they're whole so to exclude them from the same you know type of relief that other businesses have access to to cover their losses and expenses due to COVID is just really unfair. Well Chris you had a we'll talk about that but Chris you had a question. Yeah I guess I'm you know as we try to figure out some way to address some of these inequities and and lack of efficiency let's put it kindly I'm wondering if if there's any logic to taking the five million that we offered in in the farmer relief for non-dairy and moving that over to the working lands program so that if indeed most of our non-dairy farmers are coming in through that so that we make sure the money gets them I mean at the end of the day that's the goal. Anyway just curious if if that solves or maybe an easier way to come close to solving the problem just curious it. Well I think one once we get that report on how the different funds are working and the fund balances and all of that we could certainly talk about that and and we'll have we'll have time I would think I know a props would like to get some amendments and only do one block of amendments but we should get that information from the agency prior to getting those amendments ready I believe but I still I still feel funny about you know if these small businesses they're doing probably their own paperwork and if they can't figure out how to not show a profit you know maybe they ought to get more creative with their paperwork and and they're all making a profit I mean it it's if they're doing their own thing seems as though they could figure that out but anyways Allie. I'll just comment I mean I think I know I know what you're saying Senator Starr just generally but when it's for only a portion of the months of the year I think that's where profitability becomes really not a great tool to assess just for a certain portion of the month especially for seasonal businesses so say one business there's two businesses that are practically identical and one of them bought their feed for their livestock during that time and one bought it pre-march 1st all of a sudden you have this huge inequitability between these two businesses that otherwise in the end of the year will both show probably negative profits for the year but during that time their income versus revenues is substantially different just because of when they made a certain annual purchase so this is where it's just especially looking at profitability for only a few months of the year is really maybe not a helpful tool in the agricultural no we shouldn't have had that in there but I mean we got stuck with it it's not it's not really demonstrating profitability of the business overall right and and and another example would be a csa farm which i think chris center pierce and maybe raised last time you met you know i was talking to the csa where i get my vegetables and they for example you know do a lot of their spending early in the year on you know things like seeds and other you know implements that they need to start plants in their greenhouses and things like that so they're they really have a large outflow early in the year and then the majority of their income comes in say between march and may with you know their csa signups and their plant sale but then they're again like spending that down throughout the rest of the year and their other accounts through restaurants were often lost or are really uncertain for the rest of the year so that's just another example where you know this particular time frame doesn't actually demonstrate a farm's overall profitability for the year it's just a kind of cross section which really disadvantages potentially a lot of business types another example is like maple producers the maple open house weekend would have you know was scheduled for mid-march just after the pandemic hit and so that you know was a really hard hit because i think a lot of maple producers get income through that you know kind of agritourism those types of events and because of the timing they had that loss they may have made up for it later in the year but then they also might have fall events that are cancelled so it's just not a really it's not giving us a clear picture of the actual success and viability of these businesses yeah um i thanks um senator star i just wanted to add that i was thinking the same thing that senator piercin was thinking about in the easiest fix maybe to just shift the money over to this the working lands fund um if that has different criteria i know that the agency was concerned about having to reprogram their software which is a cost and i've heard that in other instances where we want to make tweaks to programs and they tell an agency say oh that'll cost us $50,000 to change that code so i think because we need to act quickly i think that i'm thinking about it that way may be an easier fix than changing the criteria i want to chime in there if i if i may um i i talked to laura ginsburg from the agency's development section and the development section was the section of the agency that was most involved in the development of the application about in how far the profitability clause is an is an issue from the agency's perspective and how i understood um if the easiest to understand the issue is to look at the agency's flow chart where the eligibility criteria basically can be followed in a flow chart matrix and you can see there exactly where the profitability question comes up in the application and um when you answer yes the profitability question that you get moved over to the working lands program but there the the problem is that you have to have at least one w2 employee so that um basically the um the issue remains for those profitable farms that are sole proprietors so from rover mont's perspective it's again um an issue that hits the hardest the the small really the small farms with no employees um that are basically doing everything by themselves and um i would i would recommend to hear from laura ginsburg and how far um removing the um the profitability clause would be a feasible um easy easy or not so easy fix that particular question i think they can answer best um my my what i heard and i of course i can testify for them uh what i heard that solely were moving the profitability clause might not be too big of an issue actually um but please confirm with the agency directly um and um i don't know can't really speak to the idea of whether it would be easier in comparison to um remove the money in the working lands fund and how far the working land lands fund is um as equitable as the other program um yeah thank you uh chris well can can maybe michael just remind us um this net profitability criteria does it apply in the accd grants and others i i don't think it does right and and just just okay so the nods uh for those listening suggest that's correct so that's a real problem i mean i mean there's just no justification to treat a small sector of our agricultural economy different than everybody else you know i i agree with senator polina we it was it was a tricky negotiation we were up against people that wanted it out all together but it was a mistake and i i really do feel strongly that we we ought to think of it this way we should be forced to justify the difference and i can't think of a single justification for that no i think it was totally you know we we were running fast and we tripped when that came along and didn't think of it um but if it was only michael how big a job would it be just to delete that little section for drafting it's not hard at all um it's just striking out a subdivision the it'll be about implementing i've i've mocked up a document for i've heard a lot of the input and i've mocked up a document where you can walk through the act act 138 and make the changes potentially that you would want um so whenever you want to do that i can i can walk you through um it's timing it's the no net profit it's the reversion um all the all the issues that you've been hearing once you want to walk through it and try to make your decisions about what changes you want i can i can walk you through all of that yeah um so are there other questions for vhc b staff they've been with it with you guys for me part time for an hour and in 20 minutes um and ellison vacation thank you well that's kind of bad well we really appreciate you coming off vacation for an hour and a half two hours to be with us ellen and certainly appreciate all the hard work that you folks are are doing to make uh make this program or these programs work and uh gus will will keep in mind that if we do get an extension about your your dollars uh where you are helping and uh running out at the end of the year so um we'll keep that in mind and and if there are no further questions uh thanks a lot for for everything you're doing and your time gus did you have something i just saying thank you and we'll see you soon yeah okay thanks again thanks everybody great work take care so much folks so um we we um we have um um maddie and caroline with us um is there anybody else on linda no no um so would would the committee like michael to run through any changes to see what it might look like uh to to move forward uh with some a few changes uh brian thank you mr chair there was one other thing caroline uh sent us i don't know whether we're going to have time to deal with it or any interest in dealing with it it had to do with the uh slaughter situation and um i did get a chance to at least start to read it she emailed it yesterday i think um so i might suggest that at least we if we have time this morning to take five ten minutes to uh to walk through that there's there's a demand for that that is outpacing uh the ability to keep up with it so uh maybe then we should move to caroline to run through that uh uh issue sure would it would it be all right if i said one more thing about the the non-dairy program just while we're on that subject well so we can come back to it no uh you you may as well jump in right now before we get started in a different direction okay sorry to start to jump in but um there's just two more points that i want to make one is about the application and i just want to flag for you all i don't know if you actually had a chance to um see the application itself i know that it sounded like michael was going to try to get a copy of it um but from what i understand the net profit question is just a checkbox on the application um and i think that was you know an effort to to not make it too burdensome for folks to answer that question which i appreciate um but it also you know could lead to people checking it in a way that's not truthful which i don't think is necessarily a good idea um but it does mean to my read that it might be an easier change than um than we think it is and so again i and i've heard as much also from folks at the agency so i would echo what caroline suggested about having either lorgenberg or abby willard come in to talk about that and then the last thing or this one to flag it's actually an issue that's come to our attention pretty recently um and i hate to to pile on more because i appreciate so much you guys trying to address the um you know the deadline and this eligibility question so uh but the one other issue that we've seen with the program is that farmers markets are specifically called out in the non-dairy section in act 138 um but that $10,000 minimum gross sales threshold actually means that majority of farmers markets also won't be eligible um so i just wanted to flag that for you as another issue because as you all probably know farmers markets you know often operate on shoestring budgets and most of them have volunteer staff so that $10,000 gross sales minimum means that they won't be able to access that that money even though they're specifically called out as a category of of organization so just flagging that for you also all right chris matty could i just make sure i understand um is it $10,000 of gross sale for the market itself as a business versus what is sold at the at the market yes yep i believe the way that would have been maybe michael can weigh in on this but i believe the way that would be interpreted is that the the market itself um as the business would have had to have 10,000 gross sales in order to qualify which i think that threshold makes sense for farms and some of these other businesses um so that we're not giving money to like home setters who raise you know a couple of animals for example but for farmers markets that may not really work right and and it doesn't mean if you're a farmers market that operates on a $6,000 budget and you're down to $2,000 that's really a big problem exactly yeah which meant all the you know the PPE and all the different setups that they had to arrange as you all probably remember in order to operate this year all right thank you how do how do farmer markets farmers markets how do they generate money themselves just by selling boost space or yep pretty much yeah just by having vendor fees um which also they've lost because you know i think a lot of farmers or other vendors for one some vendors weren't actually allowed to bend at farmer's markets if they were vending things like crafts or initially if they were selling plants for example they weren't actually allowed to be at a farmer's market um so that impacted both that vendor and the market itself who is then not getting that you know vendor fee so michael is that the way is that the way we set it up or is that the way the agency is uh determining farmer markets eligibility that's that's the way that the definition is set up the eligible applicant definition um you you were looking at the USDA um categories of farms and income generated and you use the ten thousand dollar threshold as your minimum because you were i can't remember who just said it about the homesteader um you were concerned about that and not going too low uh and you know nobody really raised the issue of that income threshold for farmer's markets and it's just in there it's it's there yeah chris nobody starts a farmer's market in their backyard like it's not a not an area for scam uh that as far as i can imagine don't we have a pre-established list of farmer's markets so that we could just sort of acknowledge them in some fashion rather than create criteria around it yeah we have a the vermont farmers market association um is a is run through NOFA um and most of the markets at least are part of that so we do we do know who they are for sure right but and correct me if i'm wrong maddie the list has like duplicates on it doesn't it it'll have like the burlington farmer's market and then it'll have the burlington winters market on there right yeah yep you would have to figure out how to deal markets that are the same organization that have right you can't just say that there's this many farmer's markets you gotta kind of winnow the list down a little bit and the agency says that they don't know at all that they rely on NOFA's list i mean can't we just add language michael that would exclude farmer's markets from that yeah yeah you that that that's probably the easiest thing to do that's what i was gonna suggest yeah and and then it's an easy draft and then they have to come in and apply and if they're not a legit business then they wouldn't qualify anyway yeah um other questions if not uh michael you want to run through that um that draft that you fooled with sure uh there's a lot of background noise outside my windows right now just so you know it's like there's trash trucks and dump trucks and landscapers and i don't know where they are but they're all here for some reason um linda uh could you put that document up so and it might be hard for you to see but um it's the first section would amend the dairy assistance program uh and if you scroll down that linda you'll see some of the dates um the agency said that they were looking for some greater flexibility on um the dates and so one of the first dates is do they have have when they have to show economic harm it's between march 1st and december 1st you could push that december 1st to eight back a little bit but all crf funds currently have a december 20th reversion provision so moving that december first date you have to take into consideration will the agency have enough time to to deal with any application for economic harm after december 1st and before the december 20th reversion you see that same issue on page two line five um in the demonstration of economic harm for a milk producer or dairy processor uh then uh you see going down in sub g the initial application and any subsequent uh addendum to initial application needs to be submitted by october 1st so um you you've got i think that's probably one of the the more significant date changes you might want to contemplate uh farmers have not been availing themselves of the program as as you might have expected um yesterday anson said that they believe about 50 percent of the dairy producers and processors have applied uh that leaves another 50 percent that effectively would have just over a month to apply yeah right now um so that date that one's one that should be moved um so there's that and you will see that same october 1st date in the um the non-dairy program that the if you move to the next page linda you'll see the october 1st deadline for the addendum so if you initially apply and you haven't been able to show economic harm up to the cap you can submit an addendum uh but you have to submit that addendum by october 1st as well i think that that's going to be an issue for anyone that's applied and didn't receive the maximum uh moving down uh you see that october 1st deadline um going to the next page um and then if you scroll down just a little bit further uh all funds need to be expended by december 20th 2020 um that's the current cr the current crf federal crf deadline is december 30th but the cr crf federal crf bills allow unexpended funds to be put into your the state's unemployment insurance funds so the crf default bill says that any unexpended funds as of december 20th 2020 will be put into the ui fund so that's that's in a different bill but this references that that the money needs to be expended by december 20th 2020 do you recall michael if that date was put in there to give the administration ample time to collect that money and and to get it transferred that is why there's 10 days to get the money reverted back to the administration and deposited into ui before december 30th it's highlighted because as gus noted the congress is coming back and they are contemplating shifting that december 30th 2020 deadline if they do you might want to look at this date and change it based on whatever congress does michael can i ask a question i i probably should know this the word expended that doesn't mean appropriated that means the money has left one account and has been sent to another right uh yes it can't just be earmarked you can't have the agency can't have the money in its fund earmarked to go out it has to have been sent to the farmer as a grant the question came up yesterday in house ag well does that mean that the farmer has to have spent it and show receipts for it and the agency is not interpreting the expenditure requirement to mean that they're interpreting it as they've issued the grant check to the farmer and it makes sense in this program because this program is all about them showing economic harm economic harm is already an expense that the farmer has incurred right they're being reimbursed for their expense of economic harm and so i think that that's a reasonable interpretation by the agency now if this was about some future project some future um application to build something in response to covid and the applicant hasn't spent that money by december 30th the treasury guidance has said yeah that money needs to revert back but here you've already have an expense um and i i think that that it falls it it's eligible underneath the the crf terms okay thank you that chris has a question michael can you help us understand the interplay between october 1st and december 20th is is am i reading this right that right now everything if you're an applicant for either of the either any kind of farm you have to have your application in any supplemental thing in by october 1st correct and then then there was some in our original bill there was a a moment maybe it was october 15th where the agency could say wow we got a lot more coming in to dairy than non-dairy we can move some of the money what date was that september 15th okay so are we addressing that you you have that option it's it's going to be highlighted it's it's section c uh in what i've got put put together and then and then we're we've given the agency effectively all of october all of november and 20 days in december to process applications and get the money out the door right do we have i think the agency is very amenable to changing that date the october 1st date yeah okay so what have we heard from them how long they really need uh no i just heard that anson testified that he's open to changing the deadlines any of the deadlines i asked that yesterday chris i asked anson directly if you had the pen what date and he said he didn't really want to say but the process took two weeks to vet the application another week or so to make any modifications and then it was another week to actually process stuff so the check is in the mail so that means a month yeah so i'm thinking november first or november 15th something like that yep and then my final question is could we have sort of december 20th in there unless you know with a trigger unless congress extends this deadline in which case peg it to the new deadline or peg it 10 days before the new deadline something like that is that could we get away with that michael that's what i was i was thinking about i wanted to talk to jfo about how to do that that meets their needs so it's not inconsistent with some of the other um reversion language but i i think if you said something like 10 days prior to any reversion of c-r-f funds required under the cares act or are required by the federal us treasury something like that i think that you you build in enough flexibility if it remains december 30th it's still going to be december 20th if they change it to july 1 2021 then you've got until july june 20th you know and so i i think that that could be done and i just wanted to consult with jfo about how to do that and then the only question that remains is gus's question of what happens if on november first there's a big slug of new money and that strikes me as a bigger question that we're going to have to understand across the board on this business relief but i don't want to forget it divided up on the same proportion as the previous that would be a nice problem to have right to have a whole new it would save a lot of battles if if there was some simple type language like that that would be divided up proportionately like the original slug of money yeah i don't if you're not in session and that money comes i i do you wait until january first you know some of these programs not necessarily this one but some of them are are are built to expire um january first and not any of yours but some of the other programs and i i don't know will you need a special session i would expect when we get done this particular session we won't adjourn i would think tim would and the leadership would would just stop it you know we'd be on recess or whatever and we wouldn't be working but then if we had to go back we could go back because if we recess the only way we or if we adjourn the only way we can go back is if the governor calls us back yeah um so that's that's definitely something to think about you know if there is a new slug of money you likely will have to appropriate it again and hey gap go through that battle again so that that's that's up to you guys how you want to do that but that's something the whole place is going to have to figure out not right right okay so scrolling should i continue on yes yes so scrolling down you're now going into section b which is the non-dairy program and some of this language is just going to go away once you actually get to your decisions but i wanted to give you some context you got that december first issue with the economic harm and when it was accrued then you come to the no net profit issue on page six and if you wanted to get rid of it all you needed to do was to strike it out it's just one of the criteria for application for an eligible applicant under the non-dairy program you know how how would that affect the application and applicants that have already run into this problem well that that's a question for the agency i don't know how the this program only went live well it's about 10 days ago now um and so the question is how many have been awarded uh how many have been funneled from the non-dairy program to working lands because they they indicated they had a profit um that's that's a question for the agency i i don't i don't know that yeah um well and the biggest was how many people have applied and and really are affected as of today i guess right and and you should be getting a report from the agency in four days as to the participation in both the non-dairy and the dairy program and the working lands program yeah so the next issue is again the october first application um and that's really it in the oh the issue of the ten thousand dollars for the farmers market i don't have that in here but it would be uh an issue that you would address in the definition section of section seven of act 138 uh it would probably be right around um page five line nine i'd probably add it in there and so then you go to section c this is the reversion issue the september 15th um this is discretionary authority of the agency of agriculture remember at one point the senate appropriations chair wanted all money to revert on september 15th and you convinced her for this program that that should not happen uh but then the agency wanted the ability to have to access the non-dairy funds if they were available um to meet demand on the dairy program if that demand was there um so there's there's opportunity here for you to change this language if you don't want reversion uh except for the december 20th reversion to meet the federal criteria or if you want the reversion to be for both the dairy and the non-dairy or if you want the money to go to something else um well anthony spoke about doing something uh on the food uh food systems i believe right anthony yeah we talked about sending it to the food bank or somewhere where the money could be used to buy products from from vermont farmers so we still be assisting farmers directly by having them we have the vermonters feeding vermonters program from the food bank which buys produce from farmers at market prices so we'll be carrying through with the priority of supporting the local farmers by purchasing food from them as opposed to just going into some other fund well hopefully they all get used but that would be that would be very easy to do because one of your other c r f bills had an appropriation to the food bank um to meet need and so you could just say that the money was was reallocated to the food bank underneath that section of the the c r f bill i think it was uh i think it was act 136 where that food bank appropriation was made so it'd be it'd be very easy to do that um can i just sorry ron i just want to chime in quickly and suggest that you would definitely i think it's a great idea but i would just suggest reaching out obviously to the food bank um to make sure that they could take on the additional allocation because i think they have like something like 4.7 million um allocated already which is amazing and we're super supportive of that but i would just want to make sure that um this was going to be something they could manage in addition to their their workload already well and i would i would expect that um appropriations and some other committees might have some questions in regards to us moving the money from ag to a totally different um part of the of the cares bill you know i mean that's an appropriation issue not an ag issue and that that could um get raised hey um senator star i just wanted to did you see linda just sent us a little message saying abby willard from the agency is listening in and would be happy to join the meeting if we had questions for the agency um linda can let her in linda are you there yes and i can uh send abby an invitation right now if you want her to join the meeting yeah she may as well get in on it it's a pretty good little discussion see and i i think when we have a meeting like like we're having today where certain people are in and they can get chimed in it it's almost like in the committee room it it's it's working fine as far as i can see i know michael fair was having a bit about us holding the hearing but next week we've got a bunch of people coming but anyways um here could i just ask a question of uh michael i guess uh maybe if the food bank i i love senator pleina's idea that's makes all the sense in the world uh and i uh was pleased to see sort of in related uh arena that we put some money towards a group of restaurants that were working with the food bank to produce meals that had to be 10 local produce or 10 local products and i didn't know um if that you know so that also helps the restaurants as well as families that are are struggling to feed themselves so i didn't know if that was separate from the food bank appropriation but that strikes me as something related that is in the ag sector but also a little bit outside yeah yeah i just uh this is ruth i just wanted to weigh in on that a little bit it's it's a different program that um is being run actually by an organization in windham county not by the food bank although i think the food bank is probably involved i guess i would want to hear testimony on how well that's working because i've been trying to get something going in in adison county and it's not as easy as it sounds um so uh if we are thinking about putting more money into it we definitely want to get testimony to see if it's effective and and if it's working statewide it may be working in chitney county in windham county but not in other places yeah winds are county too it's never as easy as it should be but i'm just thinking it's another option if if we need an off ramp that may be fruitful of course we want to understand it's working yeah absolutely i also just want to say let's not forget caroline on the um slaughter issue um i know senator collin more was interested in that and i've just been skimming what she sent us and i'd be good to hear more while we have her here yeah um maybe uh abby i see abby's with us now uh we've been talking about shifting some dates and some dates that you folks would like to see move um um we also talked about uh how uh moving the language uh in uh section five about the profitability from uh was it march through august or something and you you folks launched that non-dairy program uh eight or ten days ago i guess and and how if that would mess that program up if we change deleted that language about the profitability uh so that more people could get in and um so maybe could you answer any questions in regards to that abby sure good morning all welcome back good to see you um so around the deadlines um i think senator pierce and you said november 1st november 15th i think as much time as we could give applicants to apply through the programs the better so i think november 15th gives us sufficient time to review and process applications communicate those recommended for funding to finance and management and have a cut check um we did just hear from a dairy farmer yesterday that they applied last thursday or today they applied last thursday and they got no notification yesterday that their application was approved so we still need to then move that application through finance and through a budget check with our business office then to finance and management for processing of payment and then execution of the check but we were able to award a grant commitment within a week so um i think that three week time frame is probably our maximum amount of time we think we would need so november 15th sounds good to me good to us um as as michael shared we've probably received well we've seen 444 dairy applications initiated in the sales force application system only 182 applications have been officially submitted as of i think this was yesterday or possibly this morning's data yesterday data um so that's an additional 262 dairy assistance applications that are initiated but not committed not completed or submitted in the ag and working lands application yesterday there were 104 total applications initiated in the system 31 applications were submitted and none of those have yet received payment we haven't even figured out the final steps in the review we're working on filling out the final application review steps with beta this week um of the dairy applications i think we've um paid out just under four million dollar five million so that gives you a sense of where applications are at at this point um the question around um the no net profit um i think we would agree it's a really problem some category in the application um and we did decide to make it an attestation so it's just a checkbox not something that they have to document and upload any materials to approve their no net profit um it does as caroline was noting it branches eligibility to the two different house bills so the two do different working lands applications um i think the question is really around timing so the question would be how quickly would there be a change to the eligibility um kind of markup that michael is proposing um and you all would need to approve before that change is officially made in the application so if it takes a month to make that change we still have that current requirement in the application that's going to continue to carry on as applicants apply um we also are also waiting for the data to see how many of the applications get channelled over to the house bills based on ineligibility based upon a variety of criteria but one could be that no net profit between march one and august one so we don't know that yet um but we should have we will have some of that data to share um on the 31st when we do our next month report well he's gone so i'm in charge um abby thank you um i'm going to call it myself do you it's been suggested that technically removing that from your application flow is difficult just the net profitability question do you have any comment about that are we talking about a consultant that gets paid a lot of money to make that one step go away or could you comment on that yeah it's not it's not simple i mean i i hope i hope that secretary tevitz shared how hard staff have been working for the last six months to get these applications submitted it's people have been working 50 hour weeks people are not taking their vacation within the agency to sort of get these live and moving so it's very complicated um relationship with the mtx company who has been contracted by the states to build these various sales force applications and we all had to get in queue because there were so many applications across the entire state of vermont so we launched the dairy application early on um forestry was you know commerce was first then there was dairy then there was forestry and then we were able to do the ag and working land so that team only has so much capacity to make changes and modifications to applications once we have a go live date of an application um we have a limited amount of time to make modifications to that application under the current contract that we have with them once we exceed that time then we are no longer under um the funds no longer covered by the funds that were appropriated through through um eds to pay for those changes so then any additional changes and modifications are the individual responsibility of the agency so i think that anson talked about that when he met with you so where are we in that time window um we just proposed we're going to propose changes right now right today um to mtx and so we're still within that window today but again that's why i'm saying from a timing standpoint um you know we hope the moment that we go live with there's different phases so we've gone live with the application application opening so businesses can submit applications we are still working on phase two which is how the review process happens and then how the applications get funneled to which part of funds we are still in that phase um so i don't know if we have another few days our hope was to be able to start uh processing payments you know next this week if not next week um so it's we're talking days i suspect before we have a final application um and are able to make any additional right well maybe we'd ask you to um i guess i wonder you know we need to understand if our colleagues are supportive of this but um you know i'm hearing you very clearly we need to move this at lightning speed and if there was some way of of you know putting a hold on it in terms of your own vendor timeline maybe that's something worth exploring but uh mr chair we've just learned that you know yesterday would be uh just barely soon enough to make this no net profit change in terms of the programmers and actually getting it into the process uh we have no luxury of time so it'd be real pretty difficult now did you talk about moving money from the non-dairy to the working lands program have you talked about that so we understand abby that you folks if somebody applies and they've been making uh made a profit or show a profit you've been switching them to the working lands program have you had any applications in yet that you've had to do that to and is that an accurate statement yeah senator we have received 31 again as of yesterday so hopefully there's more as of today i just don't have the printout in front of me but 31 applications submitted in the ag and working lands assistance application as of yesterday of those 31 i have not looked to see how they end up being branched into which category of funds or which bill they need to be paid out of either the you know the one of the two different working lands or the the non-dairy bill so we will have that information or at least of the applications that we've received thus far by the time next monday when we submit our report to you we have talked with partners and and know that you heard kind of a position of the movement of any unspent non-dairy money to dairy it may be interesting to consider a flexibility amongst those two so if there's any non-dairy funds that are unexpended whether those could funnel to to the working lands or the non-dairy application so maybe creating some fluidity amongst those categories which would keep them in agriculture and would allow them to sort of respond to where there's the greatest demand in need especially if we extend the application deadline i think that allows more time for the ag and working lands businesses to understand have a moment to breathe in the growing season and be able to apply through the funds yeah i think that the net profit is troublesome in a sense because it is a very specific criteria and again i think you heard testimony of that it just gives you a snapshot of time within the growing season you know we found a way to work with that that language but i think the bigger challenge is just at what time and i mentioned this earlier senator at what time would that change come into effect and at that point how many applications would have already been funneled to the house bills and again i we can give you that data i think within a couple of days yeah there was con uh rose um thanks senator star i'm just wondering abby if if for example we do get rid of this language but it takes longer to do so because well you know our process um and meanwhile people are being funneled to the working lands fund um is there a way to if that fund is is expended fully to then hold applications until such time that the language gets changed um yeah that people just get kicked out and told no um sort of maybe they're put on hold but not denied yeah i think we do have the capability to hold an application in a status of like an undefined status so the moment that we as the agency recommend them for funding then that does trigger a particular funding source but we could probably hold those applications in a recommended for approval status we have all the information we need um but we're not going to make a recommendation of um for payment quite yet um again that will be related to the the different deadlines in the bills that michael shared so the september 15th the october first deadlines will come into effect pretty soon so uh we can only hold them so long otherwise they would then be you know in fear of being denied funding altogether if if the deadline were to come and go um other questions for abby on the workings of this if if not will caroline would you like to get into your abby can i just make one additional comment senator around the ten thousand dollars for farmers markets so um it's it is interesting to hear from nofa that there's a concern about markets meeting that eligibility um it may be uh beneficial for the committee to also look at producer association groups who are also eligible under this category but may or may not be able to meet that ten thousand dollar gross sales threshold to be eligible um those are the only two sort of like non-business um entities that are eligible in this section um of um what we're referring to as value added food products and ag producers what was that one abby the um ag producer associations so they also are eligible for funds under the ag and working lands and they are similar in a sense to farmers markets and that neither one of them are actually businesses but they are non-profit organizations and you know small organizations that support a large number of ag businesses so if you wanted to look at removing the eligibility criteria of having to have ten thousand dollars in um annual gross income for farmers markets you may want to look at or take testimony on whether producer association groups would want to be in that same category we do know from some producer association groups that they do receive ten thousand dollars in the annual sales um for example the maple sugar makers association at the big E or um the cheese festival for the vermont cheese council so those are events that are not happening in 2020 but they typically happen and so those associations would generally say they have that kind of gross annual income but i'm not sure that the beef producers or um the veggie and berry growers association would be able to claim ten thousand dollars in annual income yeah any other questions right now for abby if not we'll uh switch to caroline in regards to meat meat processing slaughter process to say thanks abby for jumping on so quickly yeah yeah thank you welcome thank you senator star um yeah um we're um under the umbrella of covid related ag issues we uh don't want to miss out on the opportunity to also raise the issue of how covid 19 impacted the bottleneck issue in slaughterhouses that we know um of course i'm not an authority to claim that um the the truth of my following comment which would be that i believe that um covid 19 dramatically increased this bottleneck to a situation that slaughterhouses when processing facilities are really booked out to a for a much longer extended period of time simply because there's also more homesteaders small livestock producers who have now um out of food security stands um started to raise livestock and there's just a higher demand and um in order to prove that statement with some substance i um i would advise the committee to take testimony from ellen caler who has done and when covid hit earlier with a group of people they've been surveying all slaughter and processing facilities in the states um in vermont on on this question how covid impacted them and i excuse me there was it was loud um and she told me that uh yes she does believe all all facilities are completely maxed out um so that's the one point i want to make that uh there is uh when we when we have this little bit of a session left i think there is an urgent need to address this as an issue um because um yeah because of the associated um um scenarios that farmers don't and don't know don't have access to processing their animals which is creating costs and just dramatic um like scenarios and um what can mitigate this issue is now the question you might have heard that the USDA has reached an agreement with vermont that um um so backing up a little bit in vermont there's two different um um regimes uh how to get meat inspected state inspection um and USDA inspection and this agreement that was achieved allows now state inspected facilities to take animals from USDA inspected facilities uh while still allowing that meat then to be sold out of state which was not usually not the case for state inspected meat usually state inspected meat is only allowed to be sold within the state yes that's great uh we appreciate that of course but does that do anything uh for the capacity issue we're facing i uh know because it's just a marketability option but it doesn't increase capacity in any way we all the slaughterhouses are full that's just the fact so um what else what other tools do we have in our toolbox and there i have to step up to my task working for rule vermont on farm slaughter is one of my issues you know that we've have been advocating for that in the past you know this is a issue with a more comprehensive set of um issues that we want to work on you know there's still a sunset on the law and you can expect us to come back uh next biennium with a more comprehensive agenda um but what we can maybe what i'm thinking what we maybe can do now since we have COVID and we have the task to address COVID related issues is address the capacity issue and just um increase the allowances for animals to be slaughtered under the on farm slaughter provision because when we look at the current numbers and you see there that it is five cattle and um total so and then the other allowed animal numbers are um it's either or it's a total combined life weight of 6 000 pounds that is currently allowed and that is it is equal to five cattle um if you imagine a dairy farm that wants to downscale that five cattle are slaughtered quickly um so um our proposal that i submitted to you yesterday would would suggest to increase from five to 20 cattle from 50 to 30 pigs and from 40 sheeps or goats to 80 sheeps or goats and instead of having that be a total a total life weight of 60 pounds just to allow for all those numbers to be in addition to another one another so that diversified farms who have cattle and pigs and sheeps that they can slaughter 30 pigs and 20 cattle for example Caroline have have you found uh where on farm slaughter um the farmers are been have been selling out and running out of um running out a customer no running out of um having plenty of customers but can't slaughter enough animals to meet uh their needs yeah so what we what we did um I must admit that of course um my my year is also impacted by COVID-19 and the the off months from the legislative session is usually the time when I can um more closely um do what we call grass roots outreach and and have this connection to our to our farmers on the ground and since we are so busy with the legislative session it's more difficult this year than in any other year to have this relationship to the base so we have to kind of make use of tools like surveys more more now and um so what I did is just bounce this idea back with a survey that we were rolling out um just a couple weeks ago um August 18 might not even be two weeks ago so it's just up and running so this is preliminary results from that and you see that to the um survey there were about 40 percent of the respondents were farmers and of and the other two thirds were either homesteaders or or customers and um almost all of them everyone except one 73 respondents total of 74 respondents in this one and a half weeks um all said that they would support an increase in allowances and and um most of them also supported this particular proposal while about 10 percent said that it's uh doesn't go far enough while about five percent said it may go too far um and um then there were also a few perspectives on maybe why why cap the allowance at all um why not just allow farmers to slaughter on farm slaughter in in the way that that system is laid out and not have a cap at all um and then what I did just for you to have like more of a personable because we don't have the time right now to take like a bunch of testimony and have all these farmers come in I put in the survey an opportunity for everyone who responded to put some statements and support of this and so I and I organized this here under the arguments that would speak to on farm slaughter and those are like more more local meat more opportunities it is good for farm variability it is a symbol for food sovereignty and food security it is very good for animal welfare and it addresses the capacity issue of course um and I also did kind of a media scan and how that issue was was reported on by the media and compiled some quotes from from some articles that I found yeah so Brenda Brian thank you senator um so Caroline I did read it all the way through there's no date here I'm assuming that since it's COVID related if we were to change the uh the regulations it would only be in effect for a certain amount of time do you have a sense of when that might work I mean um I think this I hope that this is something that can be an advancement of the on-farm slaughter law in general and just make it as a tool more viable of an option for farms so I would my hope would be that the committee considers to increase the allowances for the on-farm slaughter law in general and I mean then of course it would be still under the sunset of 2023 currently and um unless we would remove the sunset and those same same swipe but uh might be hard to justify that since that is not a COVID uh related subject um but um I would be comfortable with leaving the sunset for an hour because we we do want to come back to you next biennium with more comprehensive agenda we do want to have a stakeholder process in the fall to have more of a conversation about also you know you will when you take testimony from the agency about on-farm slaughter you will probably um find out that what the on-farm slaughter law is is um to the agency even um they're not that familiar with it even because it's they don't promote it it's it's it's still um I don't know how to call it like the black not so popular as a as a as an institution and of course we have the interest to make it more popular and more viable as an institution and I think how the agency promotes that tool can is is critical for the success of it so that's one issue then um the whole process of that internal slaughterers can only perform the slaughter and farmers are not allowed to do that is an issue that is often mentioned by farmers and the the marketability and how that process is super wonky that customers have to buy basically a living animal and it's like a csa sort of that you basically have to commit in advance to buying and sharing that that animal as a lot as a large group of people that then basically is able now to to break that down into manageable chunks that is uh those are all barriers to the accessibility of this option and and so we would want to look at that also like education and certification of of the slaughter practices on farms as an issue that was dear to some internal slaughterers and educating more future generations of slaughterers as an issue so there's more to discuss on this issue for sure but the capacity issue of slaughterhouse that's really the the the main issue and maybe you come to a different solution in terms of how to how to mitigate and how to address that that that subject matter which is the core of of what we should discuss uh but um rovermond are suggesting to utilize on from slaughter as a tool and just to increase the allowances and hope that that um yeah can carry fruit in this uh in this slaughter season which is just rolling on i just want to jump ahead of Ruth like i'll just offer this since the basis for what you see as a covid related problem is there's not enough capacity i think it will be probably an easier sell if we continue to to bring the covid thing in so that there's got to be a sort of a date by which we take another look at it i i don't i don't think we'd be ready to just open it up and say you know you could do as much as you want forever now i think there needs to be a little bit tighter um period of time on it in order to to sell it yeah i mean that's that's what i mean the timeline is already um limited by the sunset so if we don't do if we don't review the law by 2023 july 2023 it will come out of existence yeah okay thank you yeah rose had a question yeah i would agree with senator colmore that it seems like tying it to a limited time even maybe before 2023 i don't know and then we have a compare and contrast uh period but caroline i didn't hear a direct answer to the question that i think senator colmore asked about whether or not farmers are bumping up to the limits right now i mean you obviously have a survey that says their support for a change but are they bumping up are you hearing from farmers that i'm at my max i can't do more just a quick answer to that no um thanks for um bringing that back into the conversation i i don't think that the um allowances are completely exhausted i think the tool can be still also just more utilized if people would be just more aware of it and if it would be promoted more that's that's i kind of try to um come in from that perspective i i believe that the allowances are not exhausted completely also because it's just as a tool not that popular okay so if we increase the max we it might not have any the effect we're looking for because they're not bumping up against it right now because it's a pretty big jump you're doubling you're quadrupling the number of cattle so my other question is are there enough it itinerant slaughters to even meet the demand if we made these increases are there people who can do it yeah those are both very good questions and and just to one more comment to the previous question i think that many my assumption is um my argument is that maybe many farms have not considered going through the wonky process of unfarm slaughter because the allowances is so many a school and they don't think it's a viable option um so that could be one reason for why it's not utilized enough is is that it's too little of an allowance um and the um itinerant slaughter i i don't think there's enough itinerant slaughters it's it's a it's a hard to grasp community because they're um you know they're they don't like to engage in advocacy and they're um like to stay among themselves to some degree and many of the performing itinerant slaughters i've talked to and that i had the chance to get to know are also getting old um so that is an issue but the idea would be potentially to have the hunting community potentially being being a group of people that could maybe step up to the challenge because i mean currently as we know it's not regulated who is an itinerant slaughter an itinerant slaughter is basically just something who slaughters other than the farmer for that for that customer who um who you know who hires that person um so it can it can be um it can be anyone who has the skill but not the farmer them themselves so i guess what i'm hearing is that this is a proposed fix to a problem that we've all heard about that that there's not sufficient slaughter facilities that you know there's a problem nationwide and thankfully we've been uh we've escaped the horrible infections at slaughter facilities but there's still a shortage of facilities and you know this is an interesting proposal but it's still not clear to me that this would actually provide any fix if we're not bumping up against the current uh ceiling and if we don't have enough itinerant slaughters we can change this but it might not do anything so i guess i'd like to hear more um maybe get more testimony if we're gonna consider doing this because you know it's nice to say we did something but if it doesn't do anything that's another issue yeah and i think the promotion how to promote this as an opportunity is for me it is a question for the agency to step up to the task also to show to the ag community more openly that this is a actually a tool that exists in our toolbox and i think just many many farmers are not are really uncertain with what it is how it functions and all that and boule vermond is just a very small organization with not a million heavy budgets to to do this by ourselves so we you know as a as a committee we might we might be better off to expend our energy and our money in advancing some of the slaughter facilities that were already supporting and to have them increase their their output financially somehow so that farmers could at least get their animals to um if you get to a regulated slaughterhouse then you could sell in the way the new law is you could sell that meat and in other new england states and massachusetts you know they were they were really uh they really panicked when they couldn't get any red meat into their stores and uh so you know if we do on farm slaughter spend our time doing that which we don't know if it'll amount to anything anyways because we don't know if if they're bumping up against their numbers if we get it one more uh just quick quick response uh to that i think that's a interesting thought that the advantage of course of on-prem slaughter as a tool is it's like decentralized and everybody could do it like planet independently and just do do it and realize this as an option for themselves while increasing capacity of a central slaughter facility can be an issue in terms of uh covid and infection risks when you put more staff in in one building and or being more of a long-term pro project that is not feasible for immediate relief because the implementation and planning just eats up so much time and what if you would take testimony from ellen caler indeed she's indeed suggesting that what vermont really needs is more um vermont packing house like um institute facilities at least two more i think was what i heard but she will um speak for herself so that that's just i we would support that but it's um not again the question is how feasible is that immediately because that's also that's a longer term um infrastructure issue as well building out the slaughterhouses and finding people to work in the slaughterhouses i think what i understand people are saying about how doing this proposal that roberman's proposing would not maybe trying to solve a problem that we're not sure we have on the other hand i don't see a downside to doing it either because it would give people the opportunity to expand the on-farm slaughter and we could do it in a way that said that without somebody's other things we've done with covid 19 we've said this would go into place until i think we've said either 30 or 60 days past the state of emergencies is deemed past anyway i i mean i don't see the committee moving in this direction necessarily but i think i i just don't think there's a downside to allowing more on-farm slaughter at this point any other questions on on-farm slaughter we we need more data on in regards to that caroline if you know if you could get us some numbers uh somehow um what kind of numbers pardon what are the numbers you're looking for well if like bumping up against their their animals that they're already doing if they're getting a lot more calls than what they're able to handle so they're having not to be able to do this um you know any of those kinds of issues to justify us doing this because you know we're we're on a three to a four week window with our full set session here and uh you know we've already got a little lifting to do to get some changes to our existing covid programs that we've got going and to get public testimony and and you know to do all what it should take to do a bill um i don't know if we even have enough time but you know we could we could try uh Ruth had a question yeah i just wanted to make a comment really and i mean i i think if this would solve there's no i would be supportive of it given what we're hearing about how what's happening elsewhere in slaughter facilities and it is a much longer term issue to try to expand the capacity of Vermont's smaller facilities i just want us to know whether this is going to solve a problem or not or if it's just a way to expand on farm slaughter is it actually going to solve a problem that is presented to us by covid or is it just a way to promote on farm slaughter you know there's a difference there and when we're trying to focus on meeting problems during an emergency we need to make sure that this is solving the problem that we think it might solve so that's why i would like to see more data on whether or not farms are hitting that max whether or not there are enough uh slaughter you know itinerant slaughters um and it sounds like you know hearing from ellen caler and probably um the agency as well would be helpful in this regard as also yeah well go ahead caroline i i can provide you i did um i was of course expecting this question so i did do a public record request for the up-to-date uh registration and reporting um numbers so i can forward that to you and i can also already say that there is still a disparity uh between how many registrants have actually followed through with their reports and on the other side reports it seems to be like maybe there also have been reports made that have not been um covered by a registration prior to that so um the the kathryn macnomera the meat inspection chief from the agency of agriculture will be able to speak to those numbers and explain them and um when you see those and for us they are very disappointing um realities um we as i said earlier the um part of the issue is this the legal uncertainty that goes with the the complexity of this tool um as an institution and um i i it is though um we also have um farmers that have been successfully utilizing on farm slaughter for many years have been doing it since the uh since the allowance has since it's been legalized as a tool and um and that are familiar with the process and for for whom it works well a chuck booster from sunrise farm is one of those who's like been slaughtering the 40 lambs um every year with unfarm slaughter and um a couple others come to mine as well and um for whom they say yes for farm viability if there would be an increase that would uh be helpful and especially those smaller um animals uh as you know i've always had more issues of getting the slaughter uh slots in the in the in the slaughter facilities um so i don't know and how far there's room for testimony of that but i actually have a written testimony from um um homesteader that is uh this year trying to commercialize who says he's already um at capacity with his pigs and i will forward that written testimony to you as well yeah um other questions for caroline no and uh well thank you caroline and thank you and we'll you know we'll talk about this have you met with the house committee at all in regards to this yeah i had a phone conversation with caroline partridge and um uh john o'brien and sharon for guard about this and they're all interested but they also said that mitzi johnson doesn't um identify this as an issue to um to to consider even in this current situation that they are um you know they're following leadership and um but they have talked about it um um and they're yesterday and was it yesterday they have talked about it this week in committee and they did but they they touched on it yeah yeah well thank you caroline and um you know for bringing that forward um so uh maddie is maddie left so i think she's gone maddie's here oh did you have anything else you wanted to bring up before the uh committee today maddie sorry i guess she's not i guess um so um well with the committee uh i'm just gonna ask if you'd like to hear from uh alan alan taylor on this and and uh the ag agency uh maybe sometime next week if you know i guess i wouldn't mind hearing but i don't i don't necessarily think it's going to go anywhere for this this time i don't well it's going to be tight if it does go anywhere uh chris uh i mean i'm open to hearing about it i i am supportive of the idea but um i think the tweaks to the dates and particularly this net profit thing uh gotta be priority and if we can move something just as quickly as possible if you're aware of changes that that maybe uh senate probes and others are doing you know bill that's moving fast i really hope we can get some language together and get that cooking along um so that to me has to be in terms of our timeline the priority well uh talking with jane um and then the probes the way i understand the whole deal there's gonna be like one amendment to our covet uh funding issues uh with uh with of course quite a few different sections and i don't know michael have you heard anything in regards to any amendments no it's just it's a it's a subject matter that's going to be um on our agenda for our legal staff meeting on monday um how we're gonna put that bill together etc that that's all i know as of now yeah um rose yeah i just want i i agree with chris obviously our our priority needs to be those technical changes or fixes to the bills that we already passed um i do think getting testimony from ellen just in general may be helpful on this um issue um on that restaurant program thing that chris mentioned earlier and just in general because her ears been to the ground on the suit uh you know food and farm uh just writ large um over the summer and how things are working so getting ellen in to testify would be just good on a number of topics um the other thing i just wanted to make a request is if we could get um susana davis to come testify on the governor's proposal for um the providing uh payments to migrant farm workers and other immigrants who didn't receive the uh uh stimulation no stimulus stimulus payments in the spring couldn't think of the word um i know that it's it's in the governor's budget and since we spend time on it in the spring and couldn't actually get to uh something that worked i'd love to hear what the governor's proposal is um i know it's probably out of our hands it's probably in a probes but just to um have a little closure um that would be good to hear from susana or whoever in the administration could provide us with the details yeah yeah a quick question from michael michael why is that legal now and it wasn't quite legal this spring and everybody was worried about calling back after we paid the money out and all that do you know if there's been some changes somewhere along the way that's allowing allowing that or is it only payments they're talking about two migrant farm workers that actually pay into social security and in all the other places well the legal discussion previously it was about using cares act money and and i believe the proposal is now is not about using cares act money it's about using state funds general fund money yes i believe that's right i think that's gonna move awful hard and slow because there is no extra general fund money i mean i i don't know where he's coming from with that but can you all hear me now this is maddie again i'd like to hear some more from the administration on that and and leadership has expressed at least tentative support for it so hearing more about how it's structured and and what they ended up proposing would be helpful because i can't find details on it um and since yeah like i said since we had discussions in the spring i just really like to hear how they made it work yeah well we'll we'll get them in but so also they didn't they haven't necessarily made it work they just made a proposal so they tend to have a tendency to do that you know yeah that's true anthony you're absolutely right so it may not actually be working the way we want it to be but it's worth thinking about worth hearing about i agree um yeah um so uh any anything else that um that anyone wants to bring up um i know those maddie might have something yeah maddie tries to comment because no fun move them on tap and um supporting the migrant justice ask throughout the last couple of weeks so we could also give a quick update if that is a desire yeah well i i think we're all supportive of it supportive of it the big issue is trying to use up some of this call that money and yeah and transferring that to something else it's going to free up general fund money um that's all above board is it gets difficult down in in the corner room down the other end of the hallway um anyway can you all hear me yeah wow thank you you probably you might have heard my dogs barking a minute ago sorry about that i've been trying to pipe in um yeah i would i would definitely support um senator hardy's suggestion of having susana davis come in and testify i think she she could give a lot of insight um from the administration's perspective and yeah we have been supporting this proposal and um have actually also been supporting seeing the number increase based on what we know of the number of immigrant families here in vermont um so i would welcome more discussion about that and i also just wanted to chime in with one more thought on the discussion about reversion for any um unspent dairy and non-dairy funding i wonder if um something that would be worth considering would be kind of again having the food bank come in and and speak with you all and they might be able to suggest you know a maximum amount that they could realistically spend um in the time allotted because based on the timelines that we're talking about now it seems like that that turnaround would be really quick um i assume they wouldn't you know even get that reversion money until the second half of november first half of december which would make it really really quick for them it might be interesting to explore um figuring out what's the most that they could spend and then having the remainder you know go into working for example which is a way more um pot of money for both non-dairy and dairies and forestry businesses to access so i just wanted to throw that idea in the mix well basically you know we're just getting to september next week and um you know i i think that that particular issue about having extra money money left over is still a it's still a big question mark whether there will be any or not and whether or not our the crew that we oversee and look after are are getting as much as they need so but that's something that we could certainly keep in mind and and get them in just to hear them out uh anthony did you have a question yeah we've i should know the answer to this but my question is whether or not if we use the food bank as an example if we move those funds to the food bank they don't have to necessarily have spent it by the end of december we just have to have sent it to them by the end of december is that true michael no did i get that wrong right so the the there's two different ways that that that these grants are working for example the dairy assistance grant that is that's looking backwards and paying for cost or expenses that have already been incurred right so the the that's already been an expense so all you need to do is you need to just uh allocate that money to the farmer or a similar applicant and that that you've met the expenditure requirement for things in the future like the food bank you're paying the food bank to buy money for to provide future food services they have to make that expenditure by december 30th okay thanks i had that wrong yeah um any anything else michael would you work on on altering your draft to match what we're going to try to do or have to offer yep so i'd be moving the application deadline from october 1st to november 15th uh i will strike the net profit provision i will uh i didn't hear any input about changing the december 1st deadline for the timeline for when you get to show economic harm um yeah i think didn't abby talk about that about that december 1st deadline the addendum date uh you're going to move from october 1 to december 1 uh i think that makes sense yes yeah um but then it's about the the time frame for when you show economic harm do you want it to be beyond december 1st that how are showing economic harm beyond their application date if the application date is november 15th how would how do i don't remember our conversation about that it's it's it's they can get potential expenses right um that they need to implement uh say to implement a farm stand or something like that um they have that ability underneath both of the programs um so that that's how that they they could do it yeah or or when they just can document it in any way um for example farmers markets um that have been canceled winter farmers market that have been canceled and the market managers can confirm that in writing then a farmer that doesn't have that um marketability there can project the loss the losses from that i'm interested in in us being as uh consistent as possible so what do we have does anybody know what we have at accd for those programs in terms of this december question no i i don't i don't i can look into that what about making the funds uh more flexible for the agency to be able to move uh from one fund to another i would support that yeah so could could you try to figure out how we could do that uh michael sure that that would be in in that reversion language right now it's just allowing the secretary to reallocate from non-dairy to dairy but it sounds like you want to give the secretary the authority to reallocate from any of the programs to any of the other programs well if they're big holes i mean if they run out of money and one they've got a big pot sitting right beside it um i would think that would be after a certain date that would be fine okay so many things you got an opinion on that i've always supported that the question is the date a little bit uh if just if november 15th is the end of the applications um maybe that's the date because they would understand if there's more need but i i i'm struggling to understand how we handle the date because right now it's september 15th right and he the agency can move just one way so it does seem like abby i don't know if you want to weigh in on this if it's if the application deadline is november 15th and we make that the deadline after which the agency can move funds around then you can sort of fill in the whole space on where the application demand is does that seem reasonable yeah and i think we probably should i should think about this with our logistical team a bit also um but yeah i mean we're thinking the same way which is have the application deadline at a certain date it then allows us some time to do some moving around of funds before we have to determine which part of resources supports which application and still meets our december 30th deadline to have all dollars expended and out the door yeah yeah there is some kind of a little bit of negotiation there but i think and i'm thinking about aligning it with other agencies is also a good idea since some of the same eligible businesses and agriculture can also apply to commerce's economic recovery grant program so we too are trying to be as equitable as we can and the two and a half million of the working lands money actually comes to the agency through commerce and so we actually need to meet the same commerce requirements in that subset of those funds as commerce needs to which is another complication of our resources in the ag and working lands application so that's why we another reason why we have a variety of eligibility criteria that needs to be met in different circumstances so michael you could get something drafted up but the date would would we just hold it and tell we hear back yeah i'll put november 15th in as just a placeholder and then uh you can change that however you would like um any anything else uh that that anybody can think of that um we need michael to work on between now and in next Tuesday or yeah we meet next Tuesday no um i'll sat yes we're going to count on you to find the fastest moving vehicle there is there mr chair well um i'll uh i'll keep an eye out for it and if we can jump on we'll take a ride you just got a brand new vehicle yeah i was just gonna say it's bobby's new car oh yeah well it arrived all in one piece with no extra jams or scratches so that's good can i just could i just say there is an ag bill on the senate calendar up for second reading right now it's the chicken composting bill it's on the calendar um but did that make the leadership list i don't i don't know i don't know if it made the leadership list but if you're looking for something that's okay potentially germane that you could amend that bill and add something to it that might be something to talk to leadership about could we get that amendment by one o'clock well i think we probably better visit with with powers to be in and i think we're fine but we'll we'll talk about that next week if we run into a snag along the way um we'll figure something out that might be some sweet justice actually anything else from anybody if not thanks a lot and we'll thank you abby and caroline and maddie and we'll see you other guys at one on yeah one o'clock on the senate floor so thanks and have a good weekend if i don't catch you thank you all thank you all so much i appreciate you	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQMbaBSnN_I", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution -

UCgkhWgBGRp0sdFy2MHDWfSg	14 - Castle #mathctober	La princesse vous attend dans son château. Mais dans quelle chambre ?	null	2023-10-14T08:00:35	2024-03-04T14:18:13	60	zQwRc617Cx8	Un château est constitué de 5 chambres alignées, et chaque nuit, la princesse dormira dans l'une d'elles. On ne sait pas laquelle, mais on sait qu'elle ne dort jamais 2 nuits successives dans la même chambre, mais toujours dans l'une des chambres adjacentes. Le prince souhaite rejoindre la princesse, mais il ne pourra visiter qu'une seule chambre par nuit. Existe-t-il alors une stratégie qui permet à coup sûr de retrouver la princesse en moins d'une semaine ? La réponse est oui, et il peut même être assuré de la rejoindre en moins de 6 nuits. Sur les 3 premières nuits, le prince doit visiter les chambres 2, 3 puis 4. Si la princesse passe sa première nuit en chambre 4, sa deuxième nuit sera soit en chambre 3, et donc croisera le prince, soit en chambre 5. Sa troisième nuit sera alors forcément en chambre 4, et elle rencontrera le prince. Autre possibilité, la princesse passe sa première nuit dans une chambre 1 paire, elle ne rencontrera alors pas le prince sur les 3 premières nuits, mais sera forcément en chambre 2 ou en chambre 4 lors de la 4e nuit. Le prince devra alors visiter les chambres 4, puis 3, puis 2, si bien que dans le pire des cas, la princesse sera retrouvée à la 6e nuit. Question subsidiaire, existe-t-il une stratégie pour le même problème est dans ce château en étoile ?	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQwRc617Cx8", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Friday, March 16th. It was damp in Los Angeles. We were working the night watch out of homicide. My partner's Ben Romero, the boss's third-brown chief of detectives. My name's Friday. It was 1145 PM when we got to where we parked our car, second in the main. Couple of drops on the windshield. Yeah, hope it holds off. I was thinking of going out to see the Cubs and Pirates play an exhibition game tomorrow. Guess maybe not alone. You might be lucky. What's the weather man say? Oh, get the radio on. It's a slow night. Yeah. Might not be the morning. Why? March 17th, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Hey, call your station. All units in vicinity of 102 South Virgil 211 and shooting code 3. So how do I know? All units in vicinity of 102 South Virgil 211 and shooting code 3. Unit 13, take the call. Happy St. Patrick's Day. 1158 PM, we arrived at 102 South Virgil, the Bartlett Hotel, a four-story building. Sergeant Shimer met us in the lobby and informed us that the shooting took place at 1140 PM in room 432, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Theodore v. Benham. Mrs. Benham was the victim. We went up to the fourth floor where Officer McCready was stationed outside the room. Any witnesses? Only Benham says it was a thief. You talking to the people on this floor? None of them saw anything. They were all in their rooms. Any other way out of here? Uh, it's their way in the rear leads to the roof. If I took a look, nothing up there. Where's Benham? Across the hall, lying down. Cox is with him. OK, let's look at the body. We went into the room, a dreary place with a single light hanging from the center of the ceiling. The carpet was faded and worn in spots. On the north side were a closet and a bathroom against the east wall was a dresser. Across the room was a double bed and at the foot of the bed a window looking out over the roofs of adjoining buildings and the marquee of a movie house down the street. The steamer trunk was in the corner and a straight bag chair was next to the door. The mirror of the dresser was smashed and on the dresser a Gideon Bible. On the bed was the body of a woman sprawled face down. There were several splotches of blood on her coat. And the chair was a 3220 revolver which McCready said belonged to Benham, the husband of the murdered woman. We asked McCready to put in a call to the crime lab and we went across the hall to question Benham. This is an awful shock. I'm not feeling well. I'm under doctor's care. I'm a failure. Awful shock. Sit down, please. Yeah. I don't know what it'll do to me. I should be in the sanitarium right now. What thing are you taking, girl? Lincoln sanitarium and Eagle Rock. Could you tell us what happened tonight? Well, yes. We, my wife and I went out to the Sycamore Cafe over in Alvarado. What time was that? Oh, about 9.30. We had a cup of drinks and something to eat and listened to a piano player then came home. I unlocked the door and Elizabeth went in first and went over to the dresser. I just walked over to her when a man stepped out of the closet in the back of us. He had a gun. Can you describe him? I don't know. I don't know. Did you see his face? No. He had a blue band down over his face and he had a cap on, a blue and white check. Did you notice his clothes? No. No, I didn't. Anything else? He seemed very nervous and he wasn't holding the gun still. My wife was opening a purse and I said, well, I haven't got very much, but I'll give you what we had. And he fired and hit Elizabeth. I put my gun for my overcoat and started shooting. Are you an inhabit of carrying your gun? No. No, no, I'd noticed suspicious looking men following me lately so I bought one. Is this the gun here? Yes. Then what happened? Well, I fired all the bullets. I don't know how I missed. The room was small. He kept moving around all the time. Uh-huh. But I guess I did miss. Then he ran out of the room. But how old would you say this man was? Officer, I haven't the faintest idea. See you in a minute, Sergeant. Sure. We'll be back, Mr. Bennum. This has been an awful shot to me. I wonder how his wife fell. McCready told us that Sergeant Shimer had found a woman in the Nevada Hotel next door who might know something. When next door in question, Mrs. Caroline Cromwell resident of the hotel. She occupied room 415 on the top floor. She told us that about 20 seconds after she heard the shots, she looked out the door of her room and saw a man come down the back stairs, which leads to the roof of the hotel, and entered room 402. She'd seen the man several times and was positive of her identification. Sergeant Shimer said the man was registered as Jack Morrison, who went to room 402. All right, again. Police officer. I'd like to ask a couple of questions. I was going to bed. We'd like to talk to you. Won't take very long. All right. What do you want to know? How long have you been in your room? About 10 minutes. What? Where were you? To the movie. Which one? Right down the street. Why are you asking me all these questions? You've been drinking? Hello. Not much. Mind if we look around a little? I was out all the time. I didn't know nothing about a shooting. Then you won't mind if we look around? You won't find nothing here. These are clothes you've got? Yeah. Is this your coat? Yeah. Yo. You're wearing this tonight, were you? No. It's only coat and a closet. What'd you do with the coat you were wearing? Guess I was wearing that one. Just spell it. What? The bottle of whiskey. That broke? How? How do I know? You've got a hole here in the sleeve. What'd you do with the broken bottle? threw it away. Where? I don't know. On the street. Yo, I found something. A shirt stuck down between the wall and the bathtub. Looks like blood on it. Is this yours? Where's the shirt you wore tonight? A coffee pajama top. Why? Take it off. All right. But I didn't have nothing to do with that shooting next door. What happened to your arm? Guy shot at me. Who? I don't know. I bought a bottle and had a couple of drinks and went to the movie for a little while. You might have a little more from the bed, please. No, no. Thank you. I came out of the movie because I was getting dizzy. I went up on the roof here to get some air. While I was standing there, a guy ran across the roof and shot at me. What'd the man look like? I don't know. He came from the roof of the hotel next door and ran into this place. How big was he? It was dark. I couldn't see. What'd you do? Well, after I was sure he was gone, I came down. I was going to have my arm fixed in the morning. Better get your clothes on. Why? You've got a pretty bad arm. You better have it fixed up. We'll take you to George Street receiving hospital. That's all right. I don't have to go there. You got anything, Ben? No. You got a clean shirt? No. You better wear your pajama top, then. Oh, here's something. What do you say your name is? Jack Mars. Here's a card I found in the closet. It says Tommy Kane, report for work, Joe's Cafe, 8 o'clock, March 1. Who's Tommy Kane? That's me. Where you from? Elgin, Illinois. I'm old, I. I'm 22. Why'd you leave, Elgin? No work. I've been bumming around. You ever been arrested? I was picked up in a vague charge, Michael. Here? Yeah. I don't know why you guys are bothering with me. Somebody get shot. We bother. 1.30 AM, we took Kane to George Street receiving hospital, where they found that a muscle in his upper right arm had been severed and the right side of his chest was bruised. Before taking him to Ward 1,300 General Hospital for further treatment, we took him back to the roof of the Nevada Hotel. Still trying to rain. Yeah. Where were you standing when you got shot at, Kane? Right over there. I was leaning against the bricks. Where'd the man come from? Out of that door, the other roof. The roof of the Bartlett Hotel? Yeah. Was he running when he shot at you? Yeah, yeah, he was. Where'd he run? Right across here where we are. Then he went through this door here, into the Nevada Hotel. You notice anything unusual about him? Well, his face was covered with a handkerchief and he wore a checkered cap. Thought you said before it was too dark. I could see that. I mean, you know, I could see that. I couldn't see his face. You were standing over there by the parapet? Yeah. Well, I'm about to, uh, about, about here. Yeah, that's it. Mm-hmm. All right, let's get over the roof of the Bartlett. A little high. Can I help you over? No. Come on, Ben. Have you ever been in this hotel before, King? No. Everything all right, McCree? Yeah. Crime lab's here. Check at the murder room. Ben, I'm awake. I think so. Mr. Benham? Yes. Mind if we come in? Of course not. You ever seen this man before? Let me see. Can you stand over there in the light? My eyes aren't as good as they used to be. Oh, King, move over there. How's that? That's better. Is the man who shot your wife? No, that's not the man. We left instructions for another car to take Theodore Benham to Lincoln Sanitarium and Eagle Rock. We took Kane to Ward 1300 General Hospital. 2.42 AM, we arrived back at the Bartlett Hotel, where police chemist Ray Pinker had finished his examination. Three slugs, 38 caliber, and five slugs, 3220, were found in the mattress and the walls, all on the same side of the room. On the floor of the room were found a piece of white cloth and some brown threads. Ray Pinker returned to the crime lab while Ben and I made a search of both hotels. The incinerators, the alley, and all likely places for the missing 38 was not found. 3.48 AM, Ben went to the record bureau to check on any possible criminal record Kane might have had. I went to the crime lab to see what Ray Pinker had found. Nothing on this one. It's been a clean mess. And nothing on these 43220s. What'd you find those? They're the 38 out of the window frame. 3220s are in the south and east walls. How about the others here? Well, on these two 38 slugs, I found my new portions of threads. They compare with the dress and coat one of the diseases. Hi. Hi, Ben. I checked Kane's record. He told the truth. Nothing more than a vague charge, huh? Mm-hmm. How's this coming? There's threads on two of the 38 slugs. And on one of the 3220s. Same kind of threads? Yeah, the same kind. 3220, that's the gun Benham used. Yeah. Did you check the cloth here? Oh, well, right now. Benham must have been shooting all for a while. What'd you find that 3220 slug, Ray? Another floor under the bed. Nothing on any of the other 3220s? No. Yeah, this piece of cloth matches the shirt. How about the coat and those threads? Got only a couple threads that might match. Let me have a coat. Yeah. Better have Benham take another look at Kane, huh? Yeah, I guess so. I could use a cup of coffee. How about you? Since we get finished. How about it, Ray? I'm going to make it. Yeah, they match. Oh, that's it, huh? Oh, one more thing. Yeah? Fresh stains on the carpet of that room. What kind? Whiskey. March 18th, we picked up Benham at Lincoln Sanitarium and drove him to the general hospital. Three times, he asked us to stop someplace so he could have a drink. We told him he'd have to wait. We arrived at Ward 1300 at 1.40 PM, and Kane was brought out. Take a good look, Mr. Benham. No, that isn't a man. I'm sure of it. All right, Kane, tie this handkerchief over your face. No, no, this way. That's right. I'll put on this cap. Kane, stand over there, please. A little further. That's good. All right, Mr. Benham? You know, his eyes and forehead look a little familiar, but I don't know. My nerves are all shot. I can't be positive. I'm a sick man. All right, Kane. Wish I could help you, boys. Is that a way? Come along, please. You don't have to take me back to the sanitarium. Just take me to a streetcar. I'll make it all right. Well, thank you. All right, Jim. Yeah? Can I see you a minute? Sure. Yeah. Had you noticed anything when you first brought Kane out of the ward? No. You must have been closing the door. Yeah, I was. And that man, Benham, he winked at him. You are listening to Dragnet, the case history of a police investigation presented in the public interest by Fatima Cigarettes. If you smoke a long cigarette, it will be in your interest to listen to a typical case history of a Fatima smoker. It's the case of Dick Highland, sports columnist for one of the great Los Angeles newspapers. This is his actual signed statement. Do I smoke a lot when I'm reporting a close ball game? You bet I do. Do I still enjoy smoking when the game's over? Right again, because I smoke a mild cigarette Fatima. No other king-sized cigarette tastes so good is as mild as Fatima. I agree it's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. And so do more and more smokers every day. Actual figures show extra mild Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast. So enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. The king-sized cigarette, which contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild. You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better flavor. You will agree. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. The best of all, long cigarettes. We took Benham back to his sanitarium on the way he asked if he could be excused from testifying at the inquest and preliminary hearing. We told him it couldn't be done. 7 PM, Ben and I returned to the general hospital and took Kane into a small room and joining the prison ward. After three hours of interrogation, he stuck to his story. Cigarette, Kane. Thanks. How's the arm? All right. He hurts a little now. When are you guys going home? When we get a straight story. I've been telling you all I know. Yeah, you've been telling us the same story for two days, but it doesn't hold water. What do you mean? How do you account for the fact that parts of your clothing were found in that room? I told you before, you must have made a mistake. No, no, it's no mistake. Mr. Benham is starting to think he recognized you. What? Why do you wink at you? He didn't wink at me. We got somebody here who saw him. He seems to think whoever did the shooting didn't take the gun with him. When we drove him back to the sanitarium, he asked us if we found it yet. He thinks we will. How long has Benham lived in LA? A long time. How long? Why do you want to know how long he's lived here? Is a dead woman really his wife? Well, certainly she's his wife. What? Where's he been since the shooting? In the sanitarium in Eagle Rock. What's the matter with him? I'm going to feel you. You know what that is? No. You sure that was his wife? Positive. She wasn't a stool pigeon? Stool pigeon. Where'd you get that idea? You guys never saw her before. Never. You never heard of her? Kane, what's eating you? Did you check on her? We always do. Don't make mistakes on anything like that to you? Not at all. But she was a pretty nice woman from all we could find out. Happily married for 30 years. Something's wrong. What, Kane? What's wrong? Hold it, setup. What'd Benham say about him? We told you. He says you look a little bit like the man. Do you say anything else? He winked at you, Kane. Why? She wasn't a bad-looking woman. Wasn't she, Kane? All right, now how about it? You guys swear that was his wife? Yeah. OK, I'll tell you where the 38 is. Where? The mattress on the roof of the Nevada hotel. Benham cut a hole in it that day. He told me to hide the gun there after the shooting. All right, let's have a look. I don't want anybody to know I'm telling you this. Why? Benham's a real smart guy. He's got a gang. He's in on it as much as I am. Yeah? He double-crossed me. He tried to kill me. I'm going to jail. He's going with me. Maybe he will. Kane told us that he had known Benham for about two months. During that time, Benham helped him along by giving him a couple of dollars every once in a while. On March 11, Benham got Kane a room in the Nevada hotel and gave him $20 to buy a gun, which Kane did. On March 15, he gave Kane a blue bandana and a checkered cap. On March 16, he told Kane that he'd been sent by a gang in Chicago to kill a woman who was a stool pigeon. He promised Kane $100 for his help. Early that evening, Benham told Kane how to enter their room and where to hide. When they came home, Benham stood by the door. Kane stepped out of the closet and, after a few words, shot the woman. As he moved toward the bed, Benham started shooting at him. Kane ran from the room and hid the gun in the mattress on the roof. Then went to his room and flushed the cap and bandana down the drain. 11.15 PM, Ben and I found the gun where Kane said it would be. 38 Special Detective Colt Revolver, 2-inch barrel, number 381327. 11.52 PM, we checked and found no evidence that Benham belonged to any kind of a gang. March 19, 9 AM, Ben and I reported into homicide and picked up Captain Steve. We went over to Dr. Wagner to learn his autopsy report. It showed that the deceased had been shot three times. 238 slugs at 1.3220 were recovered from the victim's body. They were initialed for evidence. 8 PM, Captain Steve, Ben and I went to the sanitarium and told Benham that there were a few angles we wanted to clear up before the inquest next morning. Benham got dressed and we drove back to the Bartlett Hotel. It was raining. I'm still trying to remember what happened. I was very shocked at night. Yeah, I suppose you were. Sometimes my memory comes back for a little bit. A red light? Yeah, I see. You know the man who did the shooting knew you lived in room 432 and he knew you'd be gone that night. How do you suppose he figured that out? Well, I've been noticing that a lot of men have been following me suspicious looking at me. I'd go like the Sergeant Friday, didn't I, Sergeant? Yeah, that's right. Must have been one of them. You ever give money to characters on the street so much they might follow you? Yeah, that must be it. Many times I used to do that. I'd be nice to them and they'd try to make friends. You remember any of them? Yeah, I do. There was a man Dorsey, Jolly Swanson, and a man named Cain. Cain? Cain? Yeah, that's it, Cain. There you are, there you are. The young man you took me to see in the hospital. I'm sick and I believe that's Cain. Are you sure? Quite sure. He's the burglar. What makes you think he was a burglar? Well, what else would he be? He didn't rifle any of the drawers. He'd steal anything, did he? Must have got there just before us. Did you have anything important there? I guess, some insurance policies. And your wife? Yeah. How much? One policy for $4,000 and two for $2,500 each. Who's the beneficiary? But I am. We took Benham up to room 432 where he got out the insurance policies on his wife and showed them to us. Then Captain State asked him to reenact the shooting. Benham acted as the killer. I played Benham and Ben acted as his wife. Well, as the man was over here in the closet, my wife and I came in that door and then my wife went up to the dressing room. Oh, over here? You turned on the light? Oh, yeah. And then I closed the door and went over behind her. Like this? She was closer to the bed. Here? Yeah. Were you standing next to her? Yeah. You started to take off your coat? Well, I was just going to when this man stepped out of his closet here. How far? Here. Yeah, right here. And then what? Well, he held the gun this hand and asked how much money we had. And Elizabeth said we didn't have much. From here? Yeah, but she turned around. All right, Ben? Yeah, that's it. What happened then? Well, then I said I haven't got very much, but I'll give you what we have and started shooting. Yeah, but you said before that your wife started looking in her purse. Yeah, that's it. She did, I forgot. And that made him think she was gone after a gun. How do you know? Well, I suppose that's what he thought. He shot and Elizabeth fell in the bed. I pulled out my gun and started shooting, and the man ran out the door, and that's all. That's exactly what happened, huh? Just as I remember it. Will it help you? Not very much. What's the matter? Well, if you were standing where I am, there'd be bullet holes on that side of the room there, wouldn't you? They're all on this side. I see. I got it. Come with me. Where are you going? On the roof. What for? I want to show you something. Yeah, it's raining. There are two umbrellas in the closet. I'll get them. Why do you want to go up there? I think I know where that gun might be hidden. I'll bet it's there. Here, you take this umbrella. Thanks. We'll take this one, Captain. Let's go. I'll bet it's up there. We'll find you. Hey, you got your twice light, Ben? Yeah. Should be around here somewhere. What? A mattress. My wife used to take sun baths on it. Where would it be? Just about here. I don't see any. Are you sure it's up here? I bet it's on the next roof. Didn't you say Cain lived in that hotel? He probably moved it. There's a flashlight over there behind that elevator shaft. There? Yeah, there. You see it? We have to climb over this path but to get on the other roof. Watch it, Captain. It's pretty slippery. Oh, OK. Man, it is slippery. This mattress here? That's it. Take a look, Joe. Right. Nothing here. Did you look all around there? Did you look in the corners? No. That'd be a good place to hide a gun, don't you think? Hey, let me see. It might be a hole cut in one of them. Oh, maybe the other corner. No, not maybe this one. Yeah, you see, the mattress has been cut. It's got to be here. Cain told us about it. You ready to talk? The insurance. That's why you did it? We played that ball game the other day. Yeah, the one. But sure, I do like baseball. Must be a real nice business. Yeah. Fans only yell if they never do it. But, sir, kill the umpire. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. On July 2nd, trial was held in Superior Court, Department 89, city and county of Los Angeles, state of California, in a moment the results of that trial. It's amazing how many long cigarette smokers are changing to extra mild Fatima. Here is the actual report. From Co-Fatima has more than doubled its smokers. Yes, more and more smokers every day are discovering that Fatima is the king-sized cigarette that is extra mild. Extra mild because it contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild, to give it a much different, much better flavor and aroma. Enjoy extra mild Fatima yourself. Best of all, long cigarette. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. Thomas Cain was convicted of second-degree murder and received a term as prescribed by law. Theodore V. Venom was convicted of first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. He received a life sentence and died in prison one year later. You have just heard Dragnet, a series of authentic cases from official files.

UCVjKqobe98eXN3pfyB3l-ug	Maths XII RSA 13 4		[ "Maths", "XII", "RSA", "13", "4" ]	2012-06-05T12:09:28	2024-02-05T07:58:25	303	ZQ-Bphr_aT4	Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says, a die is thrown two times and the sum of the observed numbers is 6. What is the conditional probability that the number 3 is observed at least once? Given any two events E and F, the probability of occurrence of the event E under the condition that event F has already occurred is equal to probability of E intersection F upon probability of F where we have probability of F is not equal to 0. Or you can also say this is equal to number of elements in E intersection F upon the number of elements in F. So thus we can also say probability of occurrence of the event E under the condition that event F has already occurred is equal to number of elements in E intersection F upon number of elements in F. So this is the key idea that we use for this question. Let us move on to the solution now. We take let A be an event of getting the sum 6 and let B be the event that 3 appears at least once. Then we get A is equal to, we set with elements 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 1. So these are the elements of set A and we have B equal to we set with elements 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3, 6, 3, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 3, 6. You can see that 3 appears at least once. You find the conditional probability that the number 3 is observed at least once. This means as we have taken B to be the event that 3 appears at least once. So we need to find the conditional probability of occurrence of event B under the condition that event A has already occurred. Now from the formula given for conditional probability in key idea we get this would be equal to probability of B intersection A upon the probability of A or you can say this is equal to number of elements of B intersection A upon number of elements of A. Now from the sets A and B let's find out what is B intersection A this is equal to the set with single term element 3, 3 because as you can see that 3, 3 occurs in set A also and in such B also. So B intersection A is equal to 3, 3. That means number of elements of B intersection A is equal to 1 since we have just one element in this set. Now the number of elements of set A is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Since we have 5 elements in the set A so number of elements in set A is equal to 5 thus the conditional probability of the event B given that event A has already occurred is equal to the number of elements of B intersection A which is 1 upon the number of elements of A which is 5. So the required conditional probability is equal to 1 upon 5. So this is our final answer. This completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-Bphr_aT4", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Welcome to Mind Pump. In the first half of this episode, we talk about two neglected bicep exercises that can kickstart your growth. Later, we talk about the Colorado experiment where Casey Viarder gained 63 pounds of muscle in only 28 days, as well as other topics. In the second half of the show, we coach four live callers on questions such as, I'm skeptical about full-body workouts, but I'm having a hard time getting through my split, so do you think it'd be good for me to try one? I have body aches and muscle imbalances. What's the best way to correct this? I'm a hard gainer. How can I build some mass this winter? And I'm a female trainer, and I'm nervous about spotting men with heavy lifts. What should I do? One more thing, we have another channel called Mind Pump Clips where we take clips from the show. They're short, they're easy to watch, and easy to share. Go check it out right here on YouTube and enjoy the show. I've had a lot of success with clients on making their arms look better simply by focusing on those two often-neglected exercises. You know, you position this tip for aesthetic purposes, right? But I actually have found this to be a necessary exercise for me to avoid elbow pain. So when I was chasing the heavy deadlifts and I wasn't doing a lot of these, you know, auxiliary exercises, I was focused purely on just the compound lifts and I was getting stronger and stronger. One of the first things that I sort of noticed, I sort of getting that elbow pain. And of course, addressing it with some wrist and shoulder mobility started to alleviate it. But then what kept it from coming back was actually incorporating the reverse curls or zopmin curls. Hammer curls was actually strengthening those muscles and taking them through full range of motion. Yeah, well, the two important things of biceps, when you're looking at variety, one is elbow position. So elbow by my sub body, elbow in front of me, maybe even elbow up here. The other one is hand position, the hand supinating the hand and proning the hand, the biceps involved in that. So if all your bicep exercises involve your hands being supinated, you're actually neglecting training the bicep in these kind of different ranges of motion. That's why throwing these exercises in often gets people's biceps to finally respond when they've hit a plateau. Yeah, I just know that you got to do this gradually with the reverse curl. I remember that was one of those, like I was a bit overzealous. I get him back to doing them because it wasn't something that like I would just normally program in there. And oh, man, I definitely strained my forearm flexor. And it was one of those things where it was a it was definitely a body part that was neglected, you could tell because it's just the strength wasn't there yet. And so like to build that gradually up was definitely something I had to to take my time with. Definitely highlighted the fact of how necessary it was for me to address. Yeah, I remember going through a period of really trying to get my hammer curl and reverse curl stronger. And it was mainly through because of judo and jiu jitsu because a lot of the gripping your hand is in this position. Yeah. And I'm arms grew. And my arms grew because those were exercises that I kind of neglected. So it wasn't like I trained my biceps more. It was just that positioning. And I will also say this when it comes to bicep training, a neutral position with the hand is actually more functional, in my opinion, than the supinated grip you're more often you're going to grab things with your hands facing each other. And this position here is in the real world. I mean, you need that kind of strength. So if all your bicep exercises are here, again, you're neglecting an important movement, important range of motion and just throwing those in just swap out some of your supinated curls for hammer curls. And like I said, watch what happens when you was often see some growth or something like that. Today's giveaway maps split advanced bodybuilder style workout program.

You guys are you guys still tracking and paying attention to all the stuff that's going on with the chat, see GBT and the all the AI stuff that's coming out software for generating like, obviously, you saw the the lame trend on Instagram of showing the AI generated pictures and stuff like that. Yeah. It's pretty wild. Like, how like, I felt like it came out of nowhere. And then I'm seeing it all over the place. I saw the image that Justin had generated the other day was just it blew me away. It looked like a really good piece of art for this new this new newsletter that we're going to be releasing soon. And I thought it was like, epic. Yeah, so cool. Our artists, I mean, are a lot of artists can be put out of business. What I mean by that is like, like, of course, there's like famous artists, right? I'm not talking about the ones that are like, you know, millionaires. But I'm talking about like, artists that work for freelancers. Yeah, and they create, you know, logos and designs and, you know, those kinds of like, it feels like these these AI generated images like replace that very easily. I definitely think it's it's going to disrupt everything. And I don't really know what that looks like. I'd have to talk to some of these graphic designers because it it was just so the the image quality and like what it generated was way better than I anticipated. And if you think about how much further they can advance that from where it is right now, and you're just all you got to do is give it parameters and have it base it off of a style. So unless you're you're creating a new style doesn't exist yet. It's fair game for the this bot to basically just like create something within that vein and it does it well. I think that's what I've been most I was talking about this with my my two friends last day they were unfamiliar with this stuff. And I was like, you have to log in and check this out. What's blowing my mind is that every time I've used it, it's better than what I would have anticipated. That's the part we knew this was coming. We talked about it. And it was just and all I thought was like, you know, original artists are still always going to be way better because it's going to be, you know, that's part of the beauty in the art is how unique. And but I mean, to what you're saying, just creating unique pieces, you can literally just tell my buddy last night like, I mean, I said, for your your wife's birthday, I said, have it write her a love letter, put the put it in Shakespeare form and like a sonnet. Yeah. And add a couple of things. We have two kids together, how old she is to her favorite things like cue it a few and watch what it writes you, you know, write something better than something pretty crazy. I mean, I told him to do that. I haven't I haven't heard back from him when we were discussing how I did the Instagram post with you guys. But I just think it's so crazy how you how specific you can be and and how good or how vague and still how good. So here's the challenge. Here's what I'm going to predict. The challenge is going to be because this technology is so potentially disrupting, there's going to be a legislative battle that's going to start to happen where politicians driven by their, you know, who they represent, whatever, are going to try to pass laws to prevent AI from, you know, quote unquote, taking the jobs of people. And then the counterargument is going to be you are preventing progress or preventing advancements with laws like this. For example, when, you know, when the industrial revolution happened and machinery was able to do what people used to do by hand, there were definitely places in the world that passed laws saying you cannot make rugs by machine. They have to be made by hand in order to protect their workers. And what ended up happening was they got passed up and they can't produce fast enough. Those places actually remain poor. And yes, they predicted some workers, but progress halted. So I think, I think we're going to see a lot of pressure because like with artists, for example, like how much you want to bet artists and musicians are going to try to lobby and say we need laws preventing AI from creating music, from creating art or from it being used. Maybe individuals can do it, but it can't be sold and used. That's, I bet you that's what's going to happen. I don't know if they'll get very far. Honestly, I'm tripping out that simultaneously it's advancing alongside text because I thought if anything it would have been AI would have been more text driven first. You know, the imagery stuff is like really crazy to me that it can it can generate its own version of these like famous artists and do it well. It's not like hokey or anything. So I don't know that they're going to be able to have much of a an argument for blocking because it's an original piece still it's in the style and that's kind of always been great area to begin with. Well, I think that's the the the only leg they have to stand on or the argument because I don't disagree so they're going to try how successful they're going to be. That's the question like how the hell what do you pass? Because the closest thing that I could see is like okay if you cue the AI and you use my name you use my art as a base I should get some sort of a royalty right so like if you like name a I don't know that could be an angle they'll use right like if you type my name in there that's right yeah if you use my name specifically yeah but think about the how far that'll reach every artist every creator has bar stands on the shoulders of giants every time we give advice on fitness we're probably not the first ones to say that or bring certain topics up so a law like that could be interpreted in such crazy ways where we prevent any creator from creating anything. Did we share on the podcast what we Andrew did? Did we share that on the podcast when Andrew cued it to write a mind pump episode? Oh yeah. I mean that was crazy yeah like write up like an outline for an episode yeah and it out I mean it really I mean it was basic but what you and that's what the current tech but what you could do is you could have this basic outline tweak it a little bit and now you have your outline versus having to create everything. Yeah or you know three other guys you know communicate that message and it's really it's and it's the formula that we have built over thousands of episodes of learning what works it took us to get there where this this fucking AI spit it out you know I'm saying it and literally like five seconds spit out an outline that is literally the format of a show and I thought wow that is that's crazy. Makes me curious like where we are within audio AI like so where they're taking voice clips from people and generating sentences and audio. I'm telling you guys right now that that when people think art like music and creativity they think that machines can't touch that I don't I completely disagree I think that the machines are or the AI I say the machines like this is terminator the AI. Sky Nets. I think that the AI is going to figure out because it's I got history of music it's going to figure out what people like yeah it might even be able to figure it out better and write a formula and create music that taps into it will because there's our the book hit makers talks about this I mean most of the the success in in music in movies has a formula to it it does and that's why that's why it resonates with us is because there is a bit of it that we recognize and that we're drawn like the hero's journey right like that's a part of so many movies because it's a proven formula we like it we're drawn to that the under you know the underdog story right like we have these these these stories that have already proven that most people are drawn to and like it and so and the AI's ability to create something especially when you can cue it I mean I think Doug made some funny comment that would be hilarious like write or create a mind pump episode of uh with um Sal Sal talking in Adam's voice you know how fucking funny would that be if it's you know you could you're me communicating but in your voice or vice versa but the way you would you would talk and we have enough dialogue that's recorded that the AI can generate and spit off something that is we're so it's so obvious it's gonna happen it's so obvious to me we're playing with fire right now because we don't know like for forever we've been the smartest you know creatures on this planet in a very short potentially very short period of time we will be not just not the smartest but will be surpassed by so much that we will be will be like ants that's literally what could potentially happen once these so I felt that okay when I when I made that dumb little post like to I'm sure the average person sees it it's like no big deal to them okay but I knew that I wanted to write something about our friendship and our partnership right like our bond and I wanted to be somewhat meaningful if I were to be completely on sit down and like put my thoughts on paper and then make sure grammatically at all lines I mean that's a half hour for me probably sure okay give or take that thing spit that off in five seconds and not only did it spit it off in five seconds but it was put together better than I think I could have put it together myself like that is crazy yeah what my first attempt at something like that and that's nothing too well we haven't even learned how to use the tool in an even more sophisticated way to make it even better it's like so the big oh my god scare right everybody's worried about this the big scare is that AI at some point will somehow kill us or control us or what I think that's not the worry might what I think the big worry is going to be that these AI whatever devices whatever are going to get so smart so good that we're going to be left with nothing to do yeah that is a big deal people realize is they think that'll be paradise oh we don't have to do anything I don't think people realize that's dangerous how dangerous that is for for mankind when all of our everything is done for us by machines that are extremely efficient extremely productive it's just in extensive this is why this conversation is revert back this is why this current conversation is so interesting to me because I didn't really care about the you know the terminator theories and like all all the crazy potential even something we joke back and forth about like the dish washing and and she like that to me this this what it's doing with copy and with art are our two of the most applicable ways I can see this thing disrupting yeah our society like right away and I think the first time that I saw an example this it was really choppy and bad I don't remember who I was who I was listening to or who shared like an AI generated like a year ago AI generated a movie script and it was silly that's right that's what I was a year ago or two that was and it was really ridiculous right it was like it was you fed it like all these different script examples and then it just took the style of it and try to like mash it all together and it was all you know everything was all over the place you can tell didn't match it yeah that and so that's my my previous reference to this and so what we've come from just then to now is mind-boggling to me and to me is what is more likely and I agree with you Sal what we're more likely to see is that this thing is going it's going to help I mean imagine I mean I already see how it's going to apply in our business I mean we have to write copy all time we have to create image imagery all time if we could just plug in create a logo that is stylistically like this done like this you know in these parameters and it spits off something that is beautiful and we don't have to pay an artist thousands of dollars to do that I mean that's a big deal I think Justin's theory uh is I think is right he said Satan is a the antichrist is ai yep that's going to solve all of our problems it's going to give us everything that we want and that's going to that's that's I feel like that was such a such a great theory you know I don't want it to be true though that's the thing I'm just I was like oh man this this lines up too much because if you think about it like I just don't think it could be one world leader like there's never going to be that kind of unification amongst all you know people like we just see how uh fractured we are like everywhere like all around the world like we just yes we get moments of like some disaster we kind of pull together but even now it's just been so fractured so I just I see that being like the technology the technology just coming in and I'll take over this for you I know this is hard you know I'll just spit this for you with no effort you know and it's just like it'll make us feel like we're in control because it'll solve our problems for us it'll solve all the world's problems but like I said we're going to be in a weird situation where we're going to get everything that we want we're not going to have feel a sense of meaning or danger or whatever that's not a good place to be uh for human it sounds like it is but we need that so it's going to be really weird you see people struggle with just retirement this is a big deal by the way when people retire there's a very very a lot of them are very challenged because they're they're like okay why don't work anymore let them get depressed or whatever so what's that going to be like when we're not needed I think we had a bed in the morning yeah I mean I think what Justin said is right I think that we are going to start reverting back to our old way I mean we're going to see the cycle I think yeah I think we're we just happen to be living at an interesting time when we're actually going to see it kind of almost start over a little bit where I mean and the example of that is what they're doing right now in the schools because teachers are having to combat this this new technology their kids could so easily have a term paper written for them the only way they can do that is hand write it in person you know I mean let's talk like a utopian like or optimistic more optimistic kind of outlook on this is maybe like the technology actually solves a lot of the bigger problems right like all of the things like in terms of like our interactions like maybe like the friction between countries like travel like and now we just focus on like it's more like prairie living you know it's like we're back to like just handwriting everything we're in the community together we're churning butter well the technology just takes care of the older I get the more I think the Amish probably had something figured out a little bit you know you know I really want to interview Tai Lopez for that exact reason now I caught a because he lived with them right for like two or three years and he actually talks a little bit it was in a it was the interview with Graham Stephanize I think it was Graham Stephan that was interviewing him and I actually have never listened to Tai Lopez longer than a you know 90 second infomercial that you see him ever because he's a massive internet marketer and actually listening to him talk for like 10 minutes I was interested it was actually very interested in him and his kind of story and he's got a really unique perspective of making tons and tons of money and then also having lived with the Amish and you hear him kind of compare that and say you know I don't I don't know if I'm happier now than I was when I live with them there's a there's a lot of things that you know when you get to kind of have the opportunity to live in both extremes like I have flying around private jets having the fast cars having all the money that could buy anything I want and then also being so disconnected it would like like they are from all the technology yeah he's like they were the you know the happiest people I've ever met in my life he's like I've never he was talking and I guess there's statistics on this on the Amish as far as like like stress anger depression anxiety yeah all really low unbelievably low he's like it was so unheard of he comes from a volatile family I think is his back story and he's like it's like unheard of to even raise your voice or to fight he goes and it's not like they don't have disagreements they do they just they handle it so different did you know that they are I forgot what age but they leave they leave the Amish 15 that year rum stick what's it called I can't remember but they leave and they live in the modern world for a year and the vast majority of them come back so they go out live however and the vast majority of them end up returning back home I don't know man it's really strange why I think I mean I've shared on the on this show before like my experience of reaching the kind of financial goal I had I mean that was a I mean for 20 something years of my life it's much of what I thought about of reaching this this place springer and then I and then I run springers what's called and then I remember for like a year you know I was I was numb to where where how I felt because it was such a big goal to get to that place you're just focused on it yeah I was so focused on it then I get there and then it was like yeah you know flying all over the place the Vegas the gamble in the what whatever right so and and I did that for like a year and it took at least assault which is interesting that they do that I think it's a year that they do that like yeah and after that year so of kind of doing everything that I wanted to but I'm over the I was so unhappy I was the most unhappy like how wild is that like not like I was kind of unhappy I was like if I remember a period in my life when I was the most unhealthy and I felt the worst about myself it was when I reached the place that I thought I wanted to go so bad but that's wild it's an empty shell yeah we need you know what happened human behavior here's what happens when you're left with like where you don't you don't you're not needed in the sense that you don't have to work you don't have to really have challenges what you're left with is hedonism and this is where people start to really indulge and indulge and indulge in hedonism and that's a very that's a bottomless pit and it ends really poorly we see this with celebrities and people level you know just unlimited access to money and sex and drugs and whatever and when it's up happening to them so I don't know I don't know what this is gonna potentially I think that's the danger is my point though I'm not necessarily thinking that the danger is we're gonna have you know AI machines you know trying to kill us or attack us or anything like that I think the danger is going to be we're going to get everything we want all this stuff that we want all of our problem solved work done for us all this stuff done and then we're going to be left with like so depression anxiety what's going on we need more drugs we need more of this why am I still you know whatever and use your what you say Adam about the plugged and unplugged what I think that's going to look like is people who devote themselves to spirituality and people that continue down this path of hedonism because I can't think of another answer if you don't have to work if you don't have to challenge yourself for everything he's done for you if you if you outsource your thinking because you think about this right now you need to learn how to write learn how to do math learn how to do stuff but if in the future like what's the use of learning this stuff when it's outsourced and the answer is there for you I think the answer is probably going to be like a spiritual practice otherwise what like what are you going to do yeah I don't know I mean up until now creative creative VR world where you plug yourself into a simulation and give yourself challenges maybe that's where right now no I just already happened I mean up until now I didn't see this happening in our lifetime I believe that we are heading in this direction but up until now I I couldn't quite see how it was going to unfold where I feel like for the first time I have what I think is a clear picture of like what it's going to start to look like and it is in that direction of being unplugged exactly what motivates you to be plugged in or unplugged like okay I can't speak if that's a a spiritual practice versus somebody who is that is chasing hedonism I don't know if that's exactly necessarily what's going to be the divide so much as it is there's going to be people who reject it that who reject it and choose to live a life that is in real like meeting people and touching other humans in real life and interacting and there's going to be other people that choose to do it the other way and and there'll probably be pros and cons to both right there's going to be some huge advantages to living in this virtual world where you only die virtually or you only the risk that you take or and the consequences that you have are only virtually so you're more willing to do crazier stuff maybe or you can hit pleasure sensors at a faster rate and get those dopamine hits at a different level than what you can in real life so there's going to be positives there also you wouldn't have half of the world plugged in but there's going to be another half I think that's happening in our lifetime yeah it's happening I believe that now I didn't believe it before I believed it was coming but now I'm like god damn this I mean I already see like how there's way more people that are uncomfortable in their own skin you know and uh I feel like too this was somewhat predictive with with World of Warcraft like it's so immersive in the community like people would just seriously just stay on on this video game and stay home and order in and all they wanted to do was hang out in this world because they could be somebody else they could be this other thing this person this whatever they created they created their own reality within this sphere and it was interesting for me to like observe like how that's trickling into real world like how people want to be called a furry or whatever it is they want to be this other thing it's it's reality you know no one wants to talk about this but it's like you know like when are we gonna acknowledge that this is like a real a real thing that's that's an issue well I think it's moving too fast for us to do that anyway we got to we got to mention one of our sponsors net which actually a good conversation in regards to that is the the topic of inflammation inflammation is interesting a lot of people think it's bad not realizing that inflammation is actually a very necessary signal for example it signals muscle growth repair if you completely block inflammation you can end up with diseases joint degeneration injury that kind of stuff so it's always a balancing act with inflammation well cannabinoids so cannabinoids are compounds found in the hemp plant so the Ned makes a CBD rich and cannabinoid rich hemp oil cannabinoids regulate inflammation in a balanced way so it doesn't hammer inflammation like ibuprofen or NSAIDs it regulates it so if your inflammation is too high it brings it down to kind of a nice normal but not down so low where you get negative effect so it's got this wonderful you know anti-inflammatory effect without like a lot of the negatives and there's a lot of research right now into cannabinoids and inflammation they're finding it helps with irritable bowel syndrome you know chronic joint pain back pain headaches like all the the types of issues that we get with the dysregulated inflammatory system so good product how would you how would you tell somebody to have have insight on the the inflammation if it's negative or positive well you don't understand what I'm saying like so like inflammation is is part of the muscle building process so it's a necessary evil and a good thing and then but then there's a point of when it's hindering potentially muscle growth or progress so the average person how would you explain that in layman's terms for them to to be able to like is this good or bad inflammation yeah good question I think what I'm talking about more systemic inflammation so do you feel chronically stiff do you feel like like just overall joint pain or chronic joint pain or kind of mild headaches or do you find that your gut is super sensitive because it tends to be inflamed you know do you move around in a way where you just don't feel loose you feel really stiff well then you might have some dysregulated inflammation sometimes you can see in people's skin where their skin looks inflamed and that can also be dysregulated now ideally you want to look at diet sleep lifestyle because there's a reason that you have dysregulated inflammatory you know signals however cannabinoids are interesting because the way that they operate is they're like a light they're like a dimmer switch on a light switch so it doesn't turn the light on or off but it does regulate the light to keep it from getting too bright or too dark so cannabinoids do this with your immune system as well if you have a depressed immune system it can actually stimulate immune activity if you have autoimmune issues with the immune system is too active it actually can bring it down so really interesting and you know cannabinoids are pretty this is why it's one of those those are one of those things it's like it helps so many different things is because it's it helps regulate not necessarily tamp things down or hammer things up anyway pretty cool so you guys have heard me talk about the colorado experience excuse me experiment on previous episodes that case you remember that casey vider one yeah so i gotta send i'm gonna send there's a there's a picture that i i found of the colorado experiment i'm gonna send this picture to remind me the famous one where he's doing the double bicep pose so let me send this to you so you could pull it up on the where he gained like 20 to 50 no i mean how many so i'm so okay we've talked about this actually multiple times so why bring it up again what's the deal because i'm just reading more about it and it's so so here's a picture of casey vider from may 1st to may 29th and it's wild because he gained 60 and this was at a university and uh so i mean there were scientists there it's all verified he gained 63 pounds of lean body mass in that short period of time i just think it's wild that this is even possible but it's a confirmed study look at the difference in the guy may 1st to may 29th 63 so to me what this confirms those what we talked about like uh so is he is he's on anabolic here yes he was a pro bodybuilder so i would assume so so i mean i i mean i mean i think the last time we brought this up i talked about how and i think of course i had people like oh no you couldn't i'm like i wish i i and i've got it actually somewhere i've i know i definitely have some old pictures of like where i made some crazy swings when you take someone who's been lifting for a long time and i would be a perfect example of doing this right now because i'm so out of my bodybuilding condition yeah um but i and i and katrina always trips out she's like it's so crazy you like you tighten the diet up in one or two weeks and you get after your weight training and it's like your body changes like well that's because of all the work i did before muscle memory yeah and so i'm trying to highlight so it doesn't take nearly as much effort and work and so and we get and i like you bring this up because i get i always get these people these kids that will send me like these before and after pictures that will be something not even as ridiculous as this and they're like how much bullshit is this and like well it's not actually that crazy if you have an advanced lifter it's just not likely how depleted was he yeah i mean it's definitely not likely for a nonlifter to get that kind of results at all like someone who's just starting like you're not going to put 60 pounds of muscle on absolutely not but it is not weird for a guy like myself who's been as high as 240 and damn you're mostly muscle of that who now walks around at 225 maybe 180 and muscle you're talking about i got 60 less pounds of muscle on me right now now i don't know if i'd get all 60 back in one month probably not that but i guarantee that i can make a crazy enough like before and after that people would think yeah so what you have here and this the reason why i'm highlighting this is this is a this is a perfect storm so kasey viator was a pro bodybuilder got injured or i don't remember what the case was got sick lost tons of muscle okay so he had tons of muscle and by the way kasey viator is known as being one of the most gifted bodybuilders of all time he won some of the top bodybuilding championships at 18 in the 70s you can look at his pictures of this guy was 18 it was insane so he had tons of muscle right so add in the fact that he's also a kind of a genetic freak genetic freak lost a lot of muscle probably on anabolic goes in and trains for a month and that's what happened to him which is insane it's crazy what what you know with the perfect storm well and to me that that's the difference of why i don't think i could make i don't think i'm a genetic freak at all when it comes to building muscles so but i do know that i put enough work in that i could show a dramatic difference if i had crazy muscle build if i had that bodybuilder look even when i was 16 years old combined with my experience of lifting and bodybuilding i absolutely think i can make a crazy swing like that so wild right it is it is wild and it highlights what a lot of these people do in the marketing world right so oh they'll take a bodybuilder they'll make them lose muscle and gain body fat and then they'll make them gain it again and that's there before now yeah and so you know when these kids send these these photos it's like well first of all my response is always it doesn't matter you shouldn't be comparing yourself to some random genetic freak stranger but if you're if you're you're sending this to me to get validation from me from me tell you that it's not possible i'm not gonna tell you that it's possible i've seen crazier shit so it's very possible to see these dramatic shifts and the more the more experience the more time under the iron years decades that you've done the easier this becomes and we've talked about this before one of the coolest parts about being in my 40s now okay yeah i'm not as agile and fast and you know i don't look as good maybe as i did when i was 18 19 years old but the nice part is i put so many years on the iron that i keep it yeah it's eat much easier bounce back yeah it's much easier to keep it and then if i do switch gears into like really wanting to get after it like my body responds really nice compared to what i did when i mean do you guys not remember being 21 and like hitting the gym and die as hard you could to see incremental change hard it was for me to be how hard it was for me to be over 185 at like 12 percent body fat now it's like that's what i would be if i stop working out i think it's probably yeah i'd be so it's like it's like it's not permanent right there's no such thing as permanent results pretty close so yeah so for the young men and women that listen to this podcast stay the course man and i tell you what it's like it's like investing yeah the more time you put in the easier gets keep in you start investing young and put in a little bit away and being consistent and you know what you may not be a millionaire in a year or two but give it time and believe i don't care what you do for a profession if you were consistent with being disciplined like that and saving it's the same thing with like building muscle and building a physique it'll pay off alright so i'm going to change topics here on a previous episode when we were talking about the twitter files um adam you said that with twitter you're like i don't think there's any nefarious like stuff going on but now we see that the fbi literally paid twitter 3.5 million dollars directly to censor pages that they wanted so there is now directly directly paid directly yeah i think i already admitted being wrong about this no no i'm just saying i think i already admitted this was one of the ones where i was like oh boy was i off because dude how crazy is eegis that's insane that's direct there's literally telling them do you pay you the part of this that i think is the most interesting or the the craziest part is the lack of outrage yeah like i mean the the amount of outrage and craziness that i saw over the last two and a half years and families fighting and i mean just the crazy shit that we seen in the last two years and we find out the government uh killed fucking jfk and it's and paid twitter to manipulate freaking uh the news and information we were seeing and people are like nothing still turn a blind eye just chilling yeah just a normal day is it okay fuck so is this more on on the sort of well uh my team kind of got what it wanted yeah out of this and so you know if they did kind of bend the rules a little that uh you know it's whatever it is it's par for the course it goes both ways that's what you have to be careful when you're of course quote-unquote your guy is you know in power doing things always ask yourself how would i feel if the other if you just switch it out because the next day whatever they get away with now is what they'll get away with tomorrow and people are in and out of office people are in and out of power that's so weird to me to feel that way because even if my guy won from the cheating i still would be like this is like this is this is crazy yeah this is crazy this is dangerous that we that they have that kind of control and power and that we're okay with it like that it's wild to me and i'm not i'm definitely not a trump you know supporter fan whatever but like to him to be able to um he had to go through trials to prove the fact that he wasn't colluding with people and you know all of this stuff and and gets absolved of all that but like this is like deliberate this this is proofing uh factual data yeah we'll see what happens with it i'm wondering what what's going to happen with it or is both sides playing like yeah whatever because they both use this you know what i mean they both do this and they both play this game so i'm wondering if that's why nobody's really hammering it i mean i think that's i think you're right i think that there is i mean both both camps are like they both have their things that they do and i mean i just feel like that's this is the wrong thing the thing to be outraged is that it that it's just happening who cares left right yeah you know i'm saying that who did it more who did it last like i don't even care about that it's it's the fact that government we cannot have this and by the way if you don't and for sure i mean i was somebody who didn't believe it if they did it to twitter did it to facebook they did it to all of them youtube they did to all of them yeah why would they just do twitter yeah no they did it to all of them yeah they ain't they ain't opening up their books yeah for you to come in and look at you know who's the benefactors wild so it's so crazy are you uh by the way have you i heard that uh twitter usage by real people is up yeah and subscribers is up that is oh wow yeah it is yeah it's getting more popular it's getting more popular and and they're doing more i mean they're doing this with less people remember he they laid off a lot of people so more was less almost has the staff with this which is we knew that that's sort of his pedigree right like he's done that to so many businesses before so you know when i when i shared that open open ai post the instagram the ai generator yeah i had a couple dm's from people telling me that elon is responsible for the the software that originally created really did you know any of that can you can you do a little digging for me i haven't even had a chance so you know fact check the alien actually that was actually the comment the person said afterwards because he started out at PayPal right and so that that was like i mean it's just like so much he's been involved in i know that obviously software engineers and people around him yeah supposedly he's responsible for some of the code that helped kick this off in this direction the way did you guys see who responded so you saw his poll right should i step down as ceo and have somebody place and they said yes and so the poll voted yes yeah did you see who responded to that do you remember the dude on my dog no oh you mean the dude from my space yeah yeah that was a real tweet the real guy who founded my saw that was it real yeah it was a picture of himself bro the one at the desk like if if tom doesn't love tom if the inventor of my space ends up running twitter bro i've never fucked with us you know like he let's do a thing yeah he's just like here's a thing for you guys to hang out yeah and then there was no strings you know he got muscled out whatever happened to him i don't know but he commented under it he says i'll take the job so i'm like holy shit i want to know where he's at or he's how old now right he's gotta be old now somebody's gonna resurrect my space i feel yeah isn't it still it doesn't it still exist i don't think i think it does yeah i think i think you can go on how you guys tried it because i had my old band on there and i tried to like get some of our song sounds a better googler when it comes to stuff yeah i'm just digging into it i mean you get into these articles but so open ai yeah is uh artificial intelligence research laboratory uh based up in i believe san francisco was founded by in 2015 by sam altman elon musk and others wow so he is involved i don't know to what extent i mean i didn't know he was even involved so that's stop doing shit elon that's what is this part the i had actually multiple people he's a robot after i did that they dm me personally and said that and it wasn't just one person so that's why i thought this must might be maybe this is true that he had a hand in the code that wrote the original like open ai stuff well speaking of speaking of super smart uh i just learned about and i'm going to maybe try this peptide called dihexa have you guys heard of this oh so i think i have so do you guys know what bdnf you've heard me talk about brain derived neuro tropic it's like miracle growth for the brain apparently this peptide dihexa is like 10 times more powerful than bdnf for the brain so using this peptide dramatically increases like neural connections brain cell growth brain repair this is like the limitless peptide they call it that yeah they call it really that's what they call it so i mean i've been reading about i've never tried so glad you're willing to be the guinea pig oh i'm so 100 i want to get it i know that one actually though i'm like dude anything and everything bro i am down to try whenever as long as i'm being monitored or whatever but here's what this is what the what it says the possible benefits uh improvement and critical thinking production of dopamine and noradrenaline mental stamina enhanced articulation improved circulation accelerated wound healing i mean go wow increased muscle growth accelerated wound healing sold uh yeah so who knows i mean interesting i mean when you starting it um i don't know they're going to send it to me can you through this is through we make it a thing for you to give the audience and us they kind of a 100 weekly or bi-weekly yeah so this is from this is from our our partners at mphormones.com um and if you you know you can go on there and fill out a form and you know see if you can try peptides or whatever and they do hormone replacement therapy too but um yeah i i now i may take it and not feel good right i may not want more dopamine and noradrenaline might make me feel shitty or whatever so we'll see but from what i've heard from people who take it they're like dude i'm sharp i feel so like articulate and like oh this is gonna be weird you know yeah well i can't cool or maybe i'll just become more annoying there are some interesting side effects or potential ones anyway oh doug's reading that stuff yeah reduce detention span oh god irritability to the guy who can't see mood swings oh change of taste swings oh my god you're gonna become adam worse adam who can't sit for five minutes well okay at the worst the worst traits of us both well now this makes me nervous well i'll know right the worst traits of the end cell i'll know because i do because you fuckers won't let me get away with tell me oh yeah i'm taking that shit oh yeah no i'll be the first well that's the dopamine so more dopamine can cause that however with people with attention deficit disorder listen to him selling it then selling more dopamine is a good thing i'm just a i mean try to yeah all i know is somebody he's gotta be the expert all i know is is i'm gonna try yeah i'm glad you're willing to be the guinea pig so i can't i can't wait to hear how everything goes down so we'll see another cool more i got some other cool science did you know they're connecting obesity to hair loss what it actually yeah that becoming obese actually um can contribute to hair loss in people so i don't know that what why has to do with the stem cells you're not you're not getting the lack of nutrients right it's not so to do with that no it's no depletion yeah there's obesity accelerates health okay here we go obesity accelerates hair thinning by stem cell centric converging mechanisms do you guys know what that means yes i'm gonna do the flux capacitor yes exactly that's awesome i don't know what that means i guess stem cell inflammatory signals are induced by obesity which then represses organ regeneration signals so it slows down because hair has to regenerate right has to keep the the stem cells have to regenerate and and continue to grow because you're so fat you can't do it well i mean that's one way to have a hard time squeezing through the skull no some science there have you ever seen that before have you ever seen work like like strange what that written out in a power point like adams just teaching people that he's got a he draws a picture this is your skulls your skulls so fat we can't get the hair the hair follicles can't get through we gotta get a leader bro your hair can't get through all that fat oh man you ever meet somebody that kind of makes sense i got a fat face bro you ever meet people though with like like where they store body fat like in strange places like i there was a sky they just have this guy that work for me and i swear the back of his head was like he had a nice thick like like like a little like yeah like a hot dog package exactly and he wasn't nasty he wasn't super overweight but he had like he's four i see like what's the evolutionary benefit of that i don't know i guess if he falls back replace the story you know he's all he's all good one of you brought up i think it was i think it was you saw who brought up the all the nft lawsuits that are bunch of lawsuits going on so what's the latest on that because i haven't seen anything pop up since you said that and i was i'm super curious it was the it was the um the the freaking board eight point right it is so madonna jimmy fallon and are included in this is deaf curry because he was a big proponent so this is class action lawsuit basically saying which though you also have step curry tom brady and more there's a class action lawsuit filed in federal court that is targeting these people over pushing the board eight yacht club in other words i think the lawsuit is saying that they came out to pump it and then dump it it's like pump it up with stock port tom brady and i know you're not gonna get here what a rough year for that i mean you lose 600 million to the freaking sbx thing or whatever like that you lose a you lose a wife you're having the worst football season of your career and now they're going to sue you on top of that oh his his constant loss of the niners oh man what a mob or a field with him or god i don't know man all i remember suicide watch all i remember is two years ago people talking about nft's like they were just like this is how you make money quiet i know quiet right i feel so it is so quiet on the bro on the instagram's you don't see no ever seen that one meme it's like uh you know how crypto bros before and they got like a bmw steering wheel whatever and then after they're like holding onto the the bus in front of the bus yeah my favorite is though i posted this one the one that was like uh like it was like the guy was driving some beat-up car and then he had like a it was a cut cut out of a paper like mercedes symbol oh it's and if you say there yeah there's like a coffee cup that had starbucks on there it was like all like all fake in those yeah so sad it's so it but i mean it was weird right because like a few years ago a couple years ago and if t's were super expensive tennis shoes stamps baseball cards like crazy collectible like it was all the signs of like yeah shit's gonna crash pretty soon we're all there and so many people don't want to believe it that's like a what a what a study in human psychology right speaking of things like you don't want to believe um so uh michael jackson was like my one of my favorites of all time right and like the i i didn't even want to watch that documentary with everything where they're all coming out talking about you know the uh you know tough to watch when you're a dude it's terrible right because like he was just he was one of the greatest of all time but i heard this theory recently that like was just interesting and compelling enough to be like i wonder if that's true um and i don't know if you guys have heard it or not but uh the doctor that actually was uh put in prison because um i think that they ruled that he was responsible for his death because he overdosed him he gave him the anesthesia to sleep yeah to sleep indefinitely um he was saying that his father at a young age of like 12 wanted to keep his his voice like high and all that like it was going through changes and chemically castrated him basically by giving them all these like hormones hormones and like over dust and with like the hormone uh and so that way like basically it i don't know like this is all total speculation because you know how they used to do that for like choir singer boys that's where the word that's a thing they used to do this in i don't know look up il castrato the castrato spelled away this was a thing bro yeah these were children these were boys they sang i believe for the for the catholic church and they would castrate them so that like that forever what you didn't know that no yeah and this was i went when did this happen was this in like the 1600s oh yeah 1500s yeah it was yeah i think it was perhaps in the 18th century so that'd be what the 1700 yeah so a male singer in the 18th century castrated before puberty to prevent the soprano or contralto voice range from changing and because i mean there was that one phase remember when michael jackson was he was starting to kind of get a little bit of a lower voice and like he had just kind of worked his way out of the jackson five and i don't know i just remembered that and then all of a sudden he's back to like like his voice was high again that's crazy dude what kind of fucked up shit do we do to people i did not even know that was a i didn't even know that was a thing yeah like how twisted are you even think of that they were called ill castrato and they were they were celebrated like oh they're these wonderful singers so now the voices of angels yeah exactly yeah now we're we're manipulating these young boys and the thing that they volunteered to do or they would be willing to do it or did you oh no they were they were part of the i guess i think it was the church maybe doug can can look this up i'm sure they were and they were taking care of and like this is what they did and so it was like it was an honor that's what they were celebrated and then yeah and they and they thought that this was a so they would did it willingly potentially well i mean there were children well i know but my boy was a child they were manipulated into believing that it was a okay or don't condone dogg do they say where they i know like was it for the church or was it just uh yeah say you know maybe origins i don't know the church for the church yeah it's the roman catholic let us see here i don't know that's why the roman no no that's what it said up there at the top why he's looking for that uh sal once you do our other partners or other partner oh organify let's talk about organify a little bit um i got great message from one of our listeners who took our advice and use the green juice while traveling because they said that they tend to get digestive issues because then i get enough vegetables and like you know i didn't believe you guys but i started using the green juice every day and i feel like way better that's how i use it you know what i want feedback from yeah packs are the best for that we've had several uh live callers that we that have heard us talk about titrating your caffeine and pulling back and one of the like you know neatest things that i found like using all the different supplements and partners we have was the red juice yeah with helping me do that and so i know we've given that advice to several people what i haven't heard back is people that actually have taken the advice and then how well that's worked for other people i'd love to hear that so if you're listening and you're somebody who is and you're trying to wean off caffeine yeah you try to come off the caffeine and you've used the red juice to replace that how much success that you had with that i'd love to hear from uh our audience because that was a big big one for me for sure before we're done actually i wanted to make sure that we bring up because we started to do this and want to stay consistent with shouting somebody yes please handle uh so i wrote down one was raw form underscore functional underscore fit now this guy somebody sent his handle over to me initially and i start following him because he does like a lot of really interesting cool stuff with like may spells and with um lots of like viking training and stuff where he's like swinging around like homemade like spike maces and axes so really like cool shit you can't mess up yeah so it's just like i mean it's just it's fun to to watch and see kind of like what he comes up with but it's it's a good fun that's great i'll check that out check this out you're not what you eat you're what you digest when you break down your food your proteins into amino acids your fats into essential fatty acids and other fatty acids your carbohydrates you turn it into glycogen you need digestive enzymes to do all of that there's a company called mass enzymes that makes digestive enzymes for fitness oriented people so you utilize more of the food that you eat for the stuff that you want like muscle strength performance fat loss go check this company out go to masszymes.com that's m-a-s-s-z-y-m-e-s.com forward slash mine pump then use the code mine pump 10 for 10% off any order all right here comes the rest of the show our first caller is Sharon from michigan hi Sharon how can we help you hi how are you guys good i'm a little star struck so thanks for taking my call um but listening to you for a couple months and you guys are awesome you're totally down to earth um so i don't know if they send you the question but um just brief background about me like i started like really weight training in to the 2013 2014 um when i met Nicole Wilkins like she she was a good friend of my husbands and we were dating and just a good friend of ours now um and you know had a lot of great new beginnings in the first two years and then um i'm not as strict i don't ever want to be as strict as i was with diet before um but i normally train on a five to six day split and lately it's been taking me like no because i'll do something else in between i'm trying to take a rest day so that five six day split turns into like 10 or 12 days to get it all done and i was wondering if i was thinking i did purchase maps anabolic um i was wondering if doing a three day full body like that is still as effective oh hell yes probably more effective you're gonna yeah exactly considering this the challenges that you're having with completing the split i think you're going to see uh tremendous results from it yeah you okay and those days in between you can still do mobility work you could still do activity you know if you want to go to the gym and just be active go for a walk go for a walk stretch whatever it's totally fine but that kind of a split tends to be better for most people even if you're advanced so that's anabolic comes with two options pick the advanced option because that's because you're obviously uh not a beginner and then do the trigger sessions on the off days watch what happens okay because i was looking at i wasn't going to do the initial phase of it like the pre phase of max at max no start phase one yeah starting phase one yeah you're phase one three days a week try doing two to three trigger sessions on the off days consistently you'll know within the first two weeks that this is going to work well for you did i did i read you're 50 i actually today i'm 51 oh holy cow happy birthday you you look incredible i would have never guessed that are you a vampire like dug holy cow i i do i do sleep like eight hours tonight but um it's the best birthday present ever so because i think you guys are just great and you're like you're not full of bullshit so i appreciate it thank you after maps and a ball like i think you should follow map symmetry i think you'd like that one as well especially with your experience exercising okay the other single joint the unilateral type exercises it'll really balance your body out and sculpt your body especially after maps and a ball so we'll make sure that you follow symmetry afterwards i'll send that over to you thank you thank you all right so you think i can still build muscle with anabolic you are going to be blown away you're going to blow you're going to have you ever trained in the like one to five rep range for a few weeks you ever train like like just for pure strength i well i have wood shoulders because i always want like bigger shoulders you're gonna love this program yeah phase one phase one in particular is going to blow you away okay yeah all right and if we don't talk to you after that i after symmetry i would go aesthetic especially since you made a comment about your shoulders and because that program's all about sculpting but symmetry and then aesthetic you got it yep run that run it just like that so we're sending you over cemetery cemetery right now and then uh and then you're at your anabolic thought process is is right on point so you're right so do your do anabolic do symmetry and then if you follow it up anything after that follow it with aesthetic and uh i think the the full body training is going to do you well changer yep okay well i'm excited to try it and thank you guys and have a merry christmas yes happy birthday share thank you sharing thank you thank you bye bye bye bye you know it's funny the the type of person that gets blown away the most by switching to maps on a ball is that oh yeah for sure years and years and years sure training in a split you know not really training one to five range like oh hundred percent within the first few weeks she's like what is going on and the things that she's like the split what's happening where it takes her 12 days to get all the way through her entire mess yep oh my god because it's gonna increase frequency focus on strength i mean she's gonna see i i just hope she sticks to it and then and follows up with us because i think it's gonna blow her mind yeah i think the big challenge for her and we should have told her this is she may feel like i'm not doing enough because she's so used to doing yeah after day after day it's always a psychological challenge yeah especially when people shift to that but yeah it's gonna do such crazy things of her body and if you do feel that way and you want to keep going to the gym go to the gym just go for a walk that's why i go for a walk do some mobility stuff meditate do some other things that are great for your health but trust the process you stick to the program following a block all the way through i promise that you'll be happy our next caller is owen from alabama oh what's happening man how can we help you hey guys uh first of all really appreciate you taking my call i've been a mind pump listener now for about two months relatively new and just can't even express how much i've learned and appreciated what you guys have done um so just want to express my gratitude for that thanks man thank you welcome to the party so uh a little bit about me just to sort of frame my question and some perspective i'm 24 years old i'm currently getting my phd right now in mathematics and um i've been a pretty consistent weightlifter now for about five to six years um but before that i was a long distance runner uh the cross-country runner in high school and uh you know ran a marathon my senior year but when i hit college i really wanted to put on some size started uh doing a lot of bodybuilding at school tried to follow you know a push pull legs program but it ended up more looking like you know victim to the classic uh prioritizing upper body uh as opposed to my lower body and so after a while now you know fast forward four or five years my upper body has significantly progressed more than my lower body and um due to my maybe lack of desire but i haven't really prioritized recovery with my legs i've had some nagging injuries um and imbalances that i haven't really been able to get control over and so just over the past year the imbalances have gotten increasingly worse i've gotten some knee pain while squatting um have some little to no internal rotation on my hips and some hamstring tightness and my question for you guys revolves around you know as i start the new year i was hoping to have a game plan for the upcoming year how i want to program uh my time and i wanted to know what your advice was for somebody who has such drastic differences i still would hopefully want to improve my upper body um and things like that but i have my lower body lagging so far behind i do have maps prime and maps anabolic so i was wondering if you guys thought um that would be a good uh thing to do as the new year starts and how exactly i may modify that for my own personal uh benefit you you know this is uh and you're on the right track for sure that's what we do we'll lay out the whole year for you um this is my one of my biggest critiques about push pull legs routines especially for a young guy is what ends up happening is we skip the leg one and do a lot of push pull and that's part of the problem not to mention the days that you do do legs you probably feel crushed a lot of times we get really sore after words or they're hard to push through it this is why one of my my favorite transitions was moving out of that type of a split and moving more to a full body where you're only doing an exercise or two for your legs and you're getting out of there after you know six sets eight sets total and that's all you're doing you're not doing much more than that and so you're not as sore you're not as exhausted to get through it and then the frequency of hitting your legs more consistently really brings those up um anabolic is the first one for sure and then I would I would run performance aesthetic and then maybe symmetry or maybe interrupt symmetry in the middle of that what would you guys do you know I think we should start with symmetry and here's why because I think anabolic is a great program but you're you mentioned the nagging pain that you have and I think since yeah I think symmetry will help balance you out so I would actually go map symmetry and then maps anabolic and then performance and then performance and then aesthetic and that's the whole year right that's it that's the whole year and prime you want to use the priming sessions before every workout but symmetry is going to help a lot with the imbalances that you're suffering from for sure yeah and a lot of that you'll find with the tightness your body's just been overly protective and so to be able to kind of isolate one side versus the other it's going to help you kind of reveal where the instability lies and so that's something too like which then you can take into your priming ahead of time really pick those very deliberate type of exercises that helped kind of open that up for you so your squat and your deadlift and everything will be better impacted now the only challenge is this you did mention that you're in the phd process for mathematics which I can only imagine is quite demanding what does your schedule look like just normally forget the workout part but what does your schedule look like with classes and and studying yeah so right now I'm in a right I'm just doing research and teaching so I actually almost always have you know hour or two hour chunks throughout my day where I can work out usually whenever I want I'm a morning workout person I usually knock it out right away okay and so I can I can almost always get to the gym pretty much every day of the week okay good and then how's your sleep my sleep is usually phenomenal to be honest I'm in bed by nine o'clock and I'm usually up around six we're good we're good then yeah we're good then your the advice we gave you otherwise I would have changed my advice but I think we're good then if you're if that's what your schedule looks like and you're not overly stressed or whatever then then you're you're totally good what kind of research do you do for mathematics by the way right now I'm I'm in a program that's what's called pure mathematics so I'm looking in a field called graph theory which is really studying networks and and the relationship between networks it's an offshoot of discrete mathematics interesting yeah well you're gonna be solving the future's problem so the okay so the I want to address the the biggest challenge you're going to have with the advice of symmetry so especially for a young guy who's got a lot does a lot probably is being patient and following the program I know you've only been listening to us for two months so it might be a lot to ask but trust us and trust that we know what we're doing and programming and this is where we want to go but the the isometric piece to the beginning of that program two weeks yeah is two weeks do it it's going to serve you it's going to feel very different than anything you've ever done and almost feel like oh man I'm not really doing shit and you're gonna be tempted to want to add or do other things all the effort is intrinsic so it's really what you put into it yeah but it will serve you and trust the process and it is a two-week process when you first get started that that we we know what we're doing and you'll be okay but I know that that meant psychologically it's going to be the biggest challenge for you because it'll be like what the fuck am I doing what is this and you're gonna want to do more but but trust it and and I promise you if you follow the programs that we just laid out for you did you say you sent him what you're sending him over symmetry symmetry yeah he's already got I think you already have anabolic right yeah I have anabolic and split yeah okay so yeah so after symmetry go anabolic then performance then aesthetic and you'll be sick yep if if I was to come across like during the program halfway through or something like that knee pain while squatting or something like that do you recommend any you know way to modify it so that way it doesn't feel like all right well you know there goes the first month of my of my year start over well with symmetry that that shouldn't be an issue but if you do find some pain in symmetry slow down go lighter and modify your technique so that your knee doesn't hurt but definitely slow down and go lighter and with symmetry that shouldn't be an issue yeah start with your strong so start with the weaker side and then copy your your weaker side with your stronger side so that you don't do more reps with the stronger side you could also extend the time length of doing symmetry you know run it again if if it's an issue that needs to be tackled and maybe avoid the five by five portion the the phase four um you know if you are kind of like dealing with that instability and pain um then go back over back over yeah oh and I'm gonna I'm actually gonna have Doug give you free access to the private forum too that way if you do have something like this is what that forum is great for so if you if something comes up in the middle of the year while you're doing you're following these programs that you can't figure it out post it in there tag us and then we'll get to you yeah because me pain knee pain almost always comes from either the hips or the ankles of the feet uh it's not the knee itself so you probably don't have something wrong with your knee you're probably there's probably something wrong with your stability or strength or mobility in the hips ankle or feet uh so look there so when you're watching your form and symmetry and you're doing your unilateral exercise watch your form in fact look in the mirror you want to watch yourself in the mirror and watch how your your knee is tracking watch how your your your body's lined up and then try to mirror that on both sides you got that something that prime will help out with too big time yes big time and the forum this is what the form is best used for in my opinion like this so a lot of people this is what they'll do they can't they can't figure something out themselves they post a video of them doing their squat or their deadlift or whatever it is that we're trying to address and like hey I'm having knee pain here's my here's my squat can you guys help me out and we'll we will be able to see from the way you squat what's probably going on and then be able to direct you on what to do and just as much as you can like movements like the 90 90 where we're addressing that internal rotation like to be able to do that while you're watching tv and just make it like a frequent ritual yeah constantly doing it it doesn't you know stress out the body in any means it's just something that you're you're now like reprogramming the way that your body is going to stabilize so keep keep that doing that as much as possible awesome thank you guys so much you got it man thanks for calling in yeah yeah keep us posted man make sure you get in that form yeah i definitely will thank you guys you got it on uh yeah the a lot of people don't realize that with knee pain in particular knee pain in particular i mean unless you have an acute injury right and there's actual damage to the knee it's almost it's it's almost always 85 plus percent it's foot ankle or hip knee and elbow are like that both knee and elbow are those areas where people are like god damn it's not the elbow it's not the knee it's the the joints that are closest to it right so it's either your your ankle or in in this case and one thing this is for people listening if you're doing a movement and it hurts and you can't kind of figure out why go lighter then slow the rep down and then as you're doing the rep see if you can adjust your form with micro adjustment so it doesn't hurt and that'll tell you quite a bit so like if i'm doing a squat and i notice a little bit of pain in my knee and i go way lighter and then i'm going down i go wait a minute if i push my knees out a little bit oh there the pain is gone now okay now i see what i need to do or i need to get my foot and grip the floor a little bit or maybe i need to sit back a little more whatever right these little micro adjustments will tell you quite a bit that's why i say go lighter and slow down because then you can adjust your form and technique to where it doesn't hurt and then that tells you something our next caller is Justin from Missouri Justin what's happening how can we help you hey what's up guys what's up man uh hey i appreciate you taking the time to hear me out and hopefully offer some advice so my question is kind of about bulking um i have always been on the leaner side and a hard gainer as you guys say um i've been training or lifting weights for probably over 20 years now with the athletic background um about six three just a hair over 200 pounds right now pretty lean i don't know the exact body fat percentage but i i stay pretty lean um right now i'm in a bulk i think i'm in a bulk at 4 000 calories i've been in that bulk for about four weeks now with really no weight gain um i try to get all my my macros and uh with whole foods mostly um so right now my my macros are kind of at about um about 230 grams of protein a day 130 grams of fat and 400 plus grams of carbs and like i said the weight isn't really going up i'm getting a bit stronger but nothing crazy um so i'm just kind of wondering where to go from here if you have any advice yeah do you see his notes so he so you kind of have more background too on what he's been so he comes from a bro split type of training he found us then switched to an upper lower split it sounds like you end up splitting up anabolic uh and stretch stretching out over part were you what sport did you play a lot of i was a basketball guy so i appreciate all adam's yeah warriors love and insight well so here's the other okay here now this might sound um i guess uh unmotivating but you're you're you say six one and how much was your body weight i'm about six three and i'm just over 200 over 200 and you're a great and you're pretty lean yeah you're where i want to be and you and you've been working out for a long time okay so like every additional pound of muscle is gonna be really hard you've been training a long time you've you've hit a pretty i mean 200 pounds lean at your height you've got your you're eating 4 000 calories so it is going to be challenging to get any further so even small increases in strength are going to be big wins now the challenge is especially with people with athletic mindsets is we don't we tend to not move fast enough so you'll see some gains like god i want to move even faster but at your level and how old are you by the way i'll be 39 this month and you've been working out for a long time i mean you're gonna you're starting to hit the point now where every added pound of muscle and every 10 pounds in the bar is going to take a lot longer and it's going to be really difficult if i add 10 pounds to my max lift now in a year i'm like it's it's static whereas you know 15 years ago i could add 10 pounds to a lift in a week no problem okay so advice now i think changing up your workouts phasing your session your your your rep ranges and bumping your calories more is going to give you a little bit more of what you're looking for that's kind of tough considering you're already eating 4 000 calories a day um so one way you could do this is you could just add uh liquid calories to each of your meals so like dairy you could add glasses of milk to that that's an extra 300 calories right there um you could add protein shakes you can even add things that are a little bit more palatable because it is difficult to go above 4 000 calories so things like fruit juices and even the occasional you know quote unquote junk food this is where that becomes valuable because um i mean i know what it feels like to eat 4 000 calories over 200 grams of protein that gets hard especially to do on a consistent basis i want to speculate a little bit here uh any chance okay tell me are you more likely the person when you train in the gym for your hour are you more likely to get after it and crush it and break a good sweat are you more likely to cruise and kind of have like an easier lifting day what do you what do you gravitate towards more yeah more likely the first i mean i try to get after it and do things the right way so i actually think that you doing your best to follow maps anabolic to the three-day lifting routine and sticking to that and not lifting six days a week is going to serve you because what i think you're doing is six days of probably pretty intense lifting for an hour and i think your body is going to respond better with less and i would go as far to even consider maps 15 as a routine for a while for you to interrupt how you you currently i might even make if you were my client i might even make you do that for the program and then bring you back to anabolic and then when we come back to anabolic i'd be like all right here's the deal you got the hour to get this in and and train and then that's it we're not going to do extra days of lifting and i think that the scaling back is actually going to help you build yeah if you do the trigger sessions i'll go ahead duck justin oh i was just wondering like step count wise like uh you know are you still playing basketball are you doing you know a lot of like cardiovascular on top of all this no i really don't do any cardio i mean on usually on my like rest days i'll do some active rest and just walk for a little bit or something but i don't run or do anything crazy and then i i gave up basketball because it was just injury after injury at this point in my life yeah i go maps anabolic to do the three-day version and then do the trigger sessions be religious about the trigger sessions a lot of people don't realize how big of a difference the two to three trigger sessions a day on the off days make especially with somebody who's advanced go easy on them though no no you're just getting a pump don't treat it like an athlete you're just getting a pump i'm not that mistake so yeah that's definitely something that can happen yeah and you can you bring the bands to school that you off-air you said you teach at a middle school you can have your bands in the office and then when you get a chance do like a 10 minute pumping session on a few body parts and that's all you're aiming for and then the three days a week you in the gym follow the program and i look i it works great for most people it works really great for people who have been working out for a long time as they start to approach their 40s as they start to approach the 40s dropping the volume makes a big difference your body's hyper responsive in the sense that you're you've been training for so long your body really you're probably overdoing it a little bit this is happening to me recently i've been doing this forever and i have a freaking fitness podcast and this happened to me i dropped the volume and boom i hit a pr my deadlift that i that i never hit before my entire life so give that a try so would you say and i'm just like trying to find out more in terms of like what you've done over these 20 years of training like where have you lived the most has it been mainly in the splits and like hypertrophy style or have you gone you know through a block of just you know pure power lifts or you didn't functional training like where do you tend to like reside yeah definitely for the for the bigger chunk of it it was that hypertrophy training the bodybuilding the higher reps and then stumbling upon you guys a couple years back is when i was really the first time i ever lifted heavy like i did you know sets of five or less like i'd never done that before so that's still pretty novice to me um so i know i mentioned i did go through anabolic but really i've kind of been living in aesthetic more and i kind of split that up yeah i would like i would like you do a block of power lift at some point i'm i'm down for that too yeah i definitely think that i the i think maps anabolic would be great power lift strong symmetry those programs would be great for someone like you yep less is going to be more dude i really do feel that like that's why i was almost leaning towards like making you go through like a maps 15 which would probably feel like torture for someone like you um but i just it would be more to get the message across to you like look at bro look how much we reduced and look what happened and look what happened like that way it wouldn't be like i think it's necessarily the best program for you it'd be more like a lesson i'm trying to teach you is like look how much i'm scaling back on how much you're doing and look how good you feel look how strong you feel so we need to find somewhere in the middle and the fact that you now just told us that you're spending more time as aesthetic i really think that anabolic and power lift are a better choice for you and and maybe and i don't know if you do that we didn't ask this uh if you're the type of person who tends to train to failure a lot advice might be to leave two in the tank um i think that you're at a place where you're moving enough you have a fast enough metabolism you're lean enough you already have enough 4 000 calories you need that or above just to see any sort of gains and so things that are going to help you is reducing the intensity reducing the volume uh those types of things may actually by the way justin you know you it might not even necessarily be that you're overtraining but the reduction in volume may is still going to send the signal to build you're just not going to burn as many calories so now that 4 000 calories now becomes a surplus so sometimes that's all it is as well so because what i don't want is for you to think well i don't feel overtrained like i feel like i get through the workouts i feel like i'm not super sore sometimes it's like man i'm eating 4 000 calories i'm just doing too much you cut it down a little bit you're still sending a very easier to build that's right you're still sending a very effective muscle building which that's part of why i was leaning towards the math 15 is like i think if i just cut back on the the intense activity that he's doing i think the extra calories right away will potentially go to building versus you're just constantly burning all those calories so we'll send you you already have maps in a ball we'll send you maps 15 the advanced version would be appropriate for you and then like i said i think the programs that you'd like the most power lift strong symmetry anabolic i think those would be great for you okay i was thinking about symmetry so that's good to hear cool awesome you got it man thanks for calling thank you guys you gotta i really i really want people to understand that programs like maps aesthetic because maps aesthetic is a high volume program right it's your it's your it's not meant for people to live in it maps aesthetic is for people who've got good experience good sleep good recovery they do three months of it and then they move out of it it was inspired by want to be peeking for body you can't do you can't do that much volume most people will not be able to get away with that much volume year round it's just too much live in the gym it is you had to bring it down you got to bring it back you got to give yourself times of deloading by the way studies show that people especially experienced people where they build muscle is during the deload phase that's where the muscle that's why i think this is why i think he's gonna i think following either a 15 or you know sticking to anabolic weights written or power lift suggestion though that type of program programming for him is going to his body's in a response well i i went down to a maps 15 protocol and i hit a pr at 43 years old and the previous time i hit that a number that was even close i was in my early 30s and it was because i reduced the volume and by the way that's the it sounds like we're selling or pitching mass 15 it's not that maps 15 was so magical it was just a indicator that you were doing too much right you know and by scaling back like that that's how the body responded our next caller is amanda from california amanda how's it going how can we help you i'm a little star struck just because i mean i find athletes more admirable than i guess like actors so and i've been listening to you guys for six months and you're from norCal which is dope yeah i was just gonna ask you i mean you have the giants jersey you're rocking and you're in the la area huh i didn't even realize that yeah um my question is pretty simple so i'm a female trainer naturally um and i have a few gentlemen who i train and we go pretty heavy on the bench press so and they're getting they're being very receptive to my programming obviously they're getting stronger so me spotting now is getting a little bit to me like nerve-wracking i'm like i don't know who's more nervous like him underneath the way or me trying to figure out yeah so like last one i mean he was only 230 but i i'm buck 20 510 but i was like holding like a monkey grip and any tips like or i can ask it's and the thing is sometimes it's at a gym or it's at his home so yeah great great great question so talked about this yeah so number one if you're and you know this right if you're appropriately adding load then the kind of help that they'll need made very minimal yeah it may translate to like 10 15 pounds of you lifting now the question is what if there's a major issue right like what if yeah like what if it's yeah they something something rare happens like his peck tears or something like that you're both fucked yeah pushing away there's no nice way to put that you're both fucked no here's what you do a bad day at the gym here's what you do is no justin said it you support the weight so it doesn't roll back on his neck have him hold it on his chest if he can then get to one side of the bar and let him know the bar's gonna it's gonna drop on one side unload the weight let the bar flip out and you saved them but that's very rare it's very rare that someone has a catastrophic injury where it's like the that's it like you need to lift all the way like i've actually never seen that happen i know it happens but i've never seen i would also to i would also encourage these guys and i know how much us guys like to do this shit i would actually try and encourage them to not max out that often it should be a very it should be a rare occasion yeah you've only done it twice okay yeah okay okay cool do you have access do they have safety bars the benches you're using you do they have safeties that you can use yeah is that they have arms underneath yes if if they have like the racks correct yeah i haven't done it there yet but that's actually a good idea yeah well that's that's the move is actually do it in a squat rack and put the and actually so put the bench and this set it up on the squat rack put the safety bars like for squatting where the bench would go so it's like right where it would be catch right at his throat that's that's that's the place that i mean that's the only time i would have a client that i felt like i wasn't secure enough to help with it like if they were lifting a lot of weight and like man if this happens i would use uh safeties in a in a power cage or squat rack and some benches even come with them and then you're set if he drops the way the safeties catch it and then all you gotta do is have him slide out and you unload it's intimidating but to sell earlier point it's really like a 10 to 15 pound difference like that you're kind of covering uh if he's if he's choosing appropriate weight for himself and he's not like way over shooting so but yeah i can get like it's pretty sketchy you know thinking that you're gonna like spotting so i'm just trying to like figure out like okay so if i hold monkey and if he goes like once out of the other then i could just flip it this way or then flip it that way just make sure you have good posture obviously as you're leaning over on that note too though yeah i i'm so dumb for not even thinking of that that's why yeah that's easy fix and another tip when it comes to spotting and i know some knucklehead guys are not fans of this but i always correct them when they act like this where they they don't want you to touch the bar until they need to help i think that's that's terrible you want to keep the bar you want to keep the bar moving and so when i'm spotting so let's say uh you know we put weight on the bar that i know that you know i know sal can't get you know six of these things maybe he can get like three on his own but we're going for six you're talking like seven 800 pounds yeah so i i actually am spotting him with my index fingers right out the gate so even at one rep but he doesn't even need me i'm actually riding the weight with my so i can feel i can feel the momentum if it's slowing down and i'm just giving and if you do a really good job of spotting from right out the gates you barely have to add anything where you get in trouble is standing back letting them go to failure and then now they're stuck and then now the two of you together train then you're kind of fucked so ride the weight ride the weight early ride the weight right out the gates and if they and they try and tell you don't you're the trainers don't fuck off this is this is the better way to train you do not want to get stuck and then i help you that's how you get hurt and then if you've ever failed you know that once you fail like your power output drops 50 percent yeah that's it everything else kicks in and that's where injury happens and so um but i know some you know bros in the gym they want to oh i got it i got it it's the kernel rule yeah it's most of my my teenagers too yeah like okay buddy i can humble you real quick one yeah two like i always have you know like fingertips yes especially when they get the one arm versus the other kind of coming up really quickly yeah so instability it's not even worth it yeah because then you might get the weight to shift on you create a whole another problem but i will say this too there's a lot of fear people have a lot of fear with the bench press that if they fail oh my god or whatever i have failed with a barbell and the bench press so many times and there is a technique to getting out from under it literally it's on my chest i roll it i roll it down to my waist i sit up and then i and then i i can i can get out of the way and i've done it so many smash is your goods but you know hey it's all part of the thing but i'm here and i have i have more kids than your brains yeah exactly but the move is the squat rack like we said that's it to be safe i think if you got that option that that covers you so you don't gotta do any that crazy shit and then my advice would be just to always be spotting early so you're not you're not caught up waiting no and then now amanda as a trainer uh do you have prime and prime pro if you don't i'll send you i'll send you those because i think those are very valuable for i don't know okay i'll send those over i'll send those over to you before adam gets really angry she's only but she's only been listening for three months she gets a pass okay i said six oh you said okay well then now you don't get a pass now i'm mad no yeah yeah uh and if you haven't watched the free webinars i mean we're sending you the programs for free but if you haven't watched the free webinars that we've done on prime and prime pro as a as a coach and a trainer so valuable extremely valuable so i've been trying to come up to you some of your life stuff because my family still lives up there and i was would want to see are you guys going to do any other life well i'll tell you what you're a trainer and a coach and you have family up here the next time that you were coming up here email the email that you emailed in email the email that's a lot of that makes sense email the email that you emailed in on already and let us know that you're in town and you can have you watch have you watch watch a live recording and say hi yeah thank you you got it all right amanda thank you thanks guys you got it yeah safeties that uh i thought she was already that worried about i thought she was already using those and she was yeah yeah no that's the simple that's a simple yeah i mean you don't need a spotter if you're doing that by if you're on your own that's what you do is you use a safe and you're and you're totally fine a good spotter though man people don't know that fingers i i don't know that i'll spot four i'll spot four hundred pounds with two fingers but i'm right i'm riding the weight from the get a good spot a good spotter with good strength right unless you're trying to hit a pr by yourself and you compete and so therefore anybody touching the bar my okay did i do it powerlifting you need that but if you're working out and you're hitting weights that you're not sure if you can do and you have some spotting this a good spotter should maintain the bar speed yes that's the idea maintain the bar and then you can ask him afterwards hey that last rep were you really helping a lot yeah i was okay well then i was that young guy though i get pissed somebody was like don't touch it totally that's why i made that comment i'm like that's such a like got young guy bro like don't touch it's like no that's if your goal is to build more muscle to get stronger on the bench you want me to spot you like this that's the way to do it not wait till you fail and then all your other muscles are now trying to help out my shoulders up like i never use spars now they know like if i can't do it i can't do it yeah look if you like mine pump head over to mine pump free dot com and check out our guides we have guides

Bednar: ‘We Will Prove Them Herewith’ \| October 2020 General Conference Summary points: As important as they are in education, tests in the school of mortality are a vital element of eternal progression. Two basic principles can guide and strengthen individuals facing life’s proving and trying circumstances — preparation and pressing forward with a steadfastness in Christ. “The process of proving ourselves is a fundamental part of Heavenly Father’s great plan of happiness.” ★ Get a free Book of Mormon here ➜ https://www.calledtoshare.com/iBookOfMormon	[ "the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints", "Jesus Christ", "Joseph Smith", "General Conference", "Latter-day Saints", "Mormons", "Mormon", "lds", "Latter-day Saint", "christianity", "God", "david a bednar", "october general conference", "elder bednar" ]	2020-10-03T18:59:00	2024-04-23T00:44:55	920	zQdzZKb0BnQ	I pray for the assistance of the Holy Ghost for all of us as I share the thoughts and feelings that have come to my mind and heart in preparation for this general conference. For more than two decades before my call to full-time church service, I worked as a university teacher and administrator. My primary responsibility as a teacher was to help students learn how to learn for themselves, and a vital element of my work was creating, grading, and providing feedback about student performance on tests. As you may already know from personal experience, tests typically are not the part of the learning process that students like the most. But periodic tests absolutely are essential to learning. An effective test helps us to compare what we need to know with what we actually know about a specific subject. It also provides a standard against which we can evaluate our learning and development. Likewise, tests in the School of Mortality are a vital element of our eternal progression. Interestingly, however, the word test is not found even one time in the scriptural text of the standard works in English. Rather, words such as prove, examine, and try are used to describe various patterns of demonstrating appropriately our spiritual knowledge about, understanding of, and devotion to our Heavenly Father's eternal plan of happiness and our capacity to seek for the blessings of the Savior's Atonement. He who authored the plan of salvation described the very purpose of our mortal probation using the words prove, examine, and try in ancient and modern scripture. And we will prove them herewith to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them. Consider this pleading by the Psalmist to David. Examine me, O Lord, and prove me. Try my reigns in my heart, for thy loving kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth. And the Lord declared in 1833, therefore be not afraid of your enemies, for I have decreed in my heart, saith the Lord, that I will prove you in all things, whether you will abide in my covenant, even unto death, that you may be found worthy. The year 2020 has been marked in part by a global pandemic that has proved, examined, and tried us in many ways. I pray that we as individuals and families are learning the valuable lessons that only challenging experiences can teach us. I also hope that all of us will more fully acknowledge the greatness of God and the truth that he shall consecrate our afflictions for our gain. Two basic principles can guide and strengthen us as we face proving and trying circumstances in our lives, whatever they may be. First, the principle of preparation. And second, the principle of pressing forward with a steadfastness in Christ. First, preparation. As disciples of the Savior, we are commanded to prepare every needful thing and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God. We also are promised that if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear. And that ye might escape the power of the enemy and be gathered unto me a righteous people without spot and blameless. These scriptures provide a perfect framework for organizing and preparing our lives in homes both temporally and spiritually. Our efforts to prepare for the proving experiences of mortality should follow the example of the Savior, who incrementally increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. A blended balance of intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social readiness. On an afternoon a few months ago, Susan and I inventoried our food storage and emergency supplies. At the time COVID-19 was spreading rapidly and a series of earthquakes had jolted our home in Utah. We have worked since the earliest days of our marriage to follow prophetic counsel about preparing for unforeseen challenges. So examining our state of readiness in the midst of the virus and earthquakes seemed like a good and timely thing to do. We wanted to find out our grades on these unannounced tests. We learned a great deal. In many areas, our preparatory work was just right. In some other areas, however, improvement was necessary because we had not recognized and addressed particular needs in a timely way. We also laughed a lot. We discovered, for example, items in a remote closet that had been in our food storage for decades. Frankly, we were afraid to open and inspect some of the containers for fear of unleashing another global pandemic. But you should be happy to know that we properly disposed of the hazardous materials and that health risk to the world was eliminated. Some church members opined that emergency plans and supplies, food storage, and 72-hour kits must not be important anymore because the brethren have not spoken recently and extensively about these and related topics in general conference. But repeated admonitions to prepare have been proclaimed by leaders of the church for decades. The consistency of prophetic counsel over time creates a powerful concert of clarity and a warning volume far louder than solo performances can ever produce. Just as challenging times reveal inadequacies in a temporal preparedness, so too the maladies of spiritual casualness and complacency inflict their most detrimental effects during difficult times. We learned, for example, in the parable of the 10 virgins that procrastinating preparation leads to unsuccessful proving. Recall how the five foolish virgins failed to prepare appropriately for the examination given to them on the day of the bridegroom's coming. They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. And at midnight, there was a cry made, behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, not so lest there be not enough for us and you. But go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily, I say unto you, ye know me not. At least on this exam, the five foolish virgins proved themselves to be hearers only and not doers of the word. I have a friend who was a conscientious student in law school. During the course of a semester, Sam invested time every day to review, summarize, and learn from his notes for each course in which he was enrolled. He followed the same pattern for all of his classes at the end of every week and every month. His approach enabled him to learn the law and not merely memorize details. And as final examinations approached, Sam was prepared. In fact, he found the final exam period to be one of the least stressful parts of his legal training. Effective and timely preparation precedes successful proving. Sam's approach to his legal education highlights one of the Lord's primary patterns for growth and development. Thus saith the Lord God, I will give unto the children of men, line upon line, precept upon precept, hear a little and there a little. And blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom, for unto him that receiveth I will give more. I invite each of us to consider our ways and examine ourselves, whether we be in the faith and prove our own selves. What have we learned during these recent months of lifestyle adjustments and restrictions? What do we need to improve in our lives spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually? Now is the time to prepare and prove ourselves willing and able to do all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall command us. Second, pressing forward. I once attended a funeral for a young missionary who was killed in an accident. The missionary's father spoke in the service and described the heartache of an unexpected mortal separation from a beloved child. He forthrightly declared that he personally did not understand the reasons or timing for such an event. But I always will remember this good man also declaring that he knew, God knew, the reasons and timing for the passing of his child. And that was good enough for him. He told the congregation that he and his family, though sorrowful, would be fine. Their testimonies remained firm and steadfast. He concluded his remarks with this declaration. I want you to know that as far as the gospel of Jesus Christ is concerned, our family is all in. We are all in. Though the loss of a dear loved one was heart-wrenching and difficult, the members of this valiant family spiritually were prepared to prove that they could learn lessons of eternal importance through the things that they suffered. Faithfulness is not foolishness or fanaticism. Rather, it is trusting and placing our confidence in Jesus Christ as our Savior on his name and in his promises. As we press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men, we are blessed with an eternal perspective and vision that stretches far beyond our limited mortal capacity. We will be enabled to gather together and stand in holy places and be not moved until the day of the Lord come. While I was serving as the president of Brigham Young University, Idaho, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland came to the campus in December of 1998 to speak in one of our weekly devotionals. Susan and I invited a group of students to meet and visit with Elder Holland before he delivered his message. As our time together was drawing to a close, I asked Elder Holland, "'If you could teach these students just one thing, "'what would it be?' He answered, quote, "'We are witnessing an ever greater movement "'toward polarity. "'The middle ground options will be removed from us "'as Latter-day Saints. "'The middle of the road will be withdrawn. "'If you are treading water in the current of a river, "'you will go somewhere. "'You simply will go wherever the current takes you. "'Going with the stream, following the tide, "'drifting in the current will not do. "'Choices have to be made. "'Not making a choice is a choice. "'Learn to choose now," close, quote." Elder Holland's statement about increasing polarization has been proven prophetic by the societal trends and events of the 22 years since he answered my question. Fortelling the widening divergence between the ways of the Lord and of the world, Elder Holland warned that the days of comfortably having one foot in the restored church and one foot in the world were vanishing quickly. This servant of the Lord was encouraging the young people to choose, prepare, and become devoted disciples of the Savior. He was helping them to prepare and then press forward to and through the proving, examining, and trying experiences of their lives. The process of proving ourselves is a fundamental part of Heavenly Father's great plan of happiness. I promise that as we both prepare and press forward with faith in the Savior, we all can receive the same grade on the ultimate examination of mortality. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. I witness that God, the Eternal Father, is our Father. Jesus Christ is his only begotten and living Son, our Savior and Redeemer. Of these truths I joyfully testify in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQdzZKb0BnQ", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

RealisticGaming here. Today we are on Ice Cream Part 2, but as we can see we are playing the Sponge Cream 2 mod, so it's basically the same Ice Cream game, but it's a mod with like SpongeBob textures and as we can see Rod is dressed up as SpongeBob himself, but we can only see half his face, so let's go to some gameplay and let's see how awesome this is. Alright, we've seen this, let's skip ahead. Oh my god, okay, so as you can see here, everything is like SpongeBob related. Oh look, there's a SpongeBob right there. Alright, uh, we up in this window. Dude, Sponge Rod! It looks so weird. Oh my god, is that Stanley Squirrel? Dude, that is terrifying. Oh my god. Oh, Krabby Patty Breath. He gave me the Krabby Patty Breath. Mr. Benz, thank you because that did not look like you were too fond of it. Okay, so let's collect the blankets, throw this on the window. Let's grab our slingshot because Mr. Rod is gonna try to get us. Or Sponge Rod, should I say? Okay, let's go in here. Okay, what? He didn't drop the map? Oh, the map's already out here. Okay. He didn't give us the little cutscene. Oh my god, look at this dude. Let's try to get in front of a lick of his face. Head on. Yo, turn around. Oh my god. What? Look at the apron. Okay, let's shoot this guy. Oh! Alright, there you go. Let's grab the map, place this here, and let's go to the circus. Oh look, the house is even like SpongeBob's house. It's a pineapple. That's pretty funny. So far, this mod is looking good. I saw these SpongeBob textures on it. Let's skip this. They didn't change that up. I figured they would have, but they didn't. The ice cream truck looks like the busses from SpongeBob. That does not look like the Krusty Krab, but I guess it's a Krusty Krab. My god. The Krusty Krab. Oh dude, he's supposed to be Squidward. Don't tell me Charlie's going to be Patrick. He's supposed to be Patrick. That is so funny. It's kind of messed up at the same time just because he's chunky. They made him Patrick. Okay, so let's go up here. Let's try to break in through the top. Where's Rod? Sponge Rod? I hear him walking. My god, I think he's in here. Okay, let's get the hangar. My god, he's inside of here. Oh no, he was on top. Alright, so let's open this door. Let's get the pliers. And let's get out of here. Well, actually we need to get the candle. Let's grab the candle since we're here. Oh, Rod is sleeping. Do you guys think we can manage to get this without waking? Nope, never mind. Okay, great. Now he's chasing us. Come on, come on, we gotta be quick. My god, where is he at? Okay, he's all the way back there. Let's go around so we can get back inside of the ice cream truck. Okay, seems like we're good. Let's go to the cemetery. I'm all like this little ice cream, SpongeBob ice cream on the side of the ice cream truck. I remember getting those. They were pretty horrible though because they would have melt pretty quick. Dude, the cat is Gary. That is so hilarious. Oh no, he's already after us. Come on. Come on, Rod. Or SpongeBob, should I say the enemy is close? Where? He's not even chasing me. So this is SpongeBob dad, Rod. And as you can see, he has a mustache. What? Why does he say I'm getting chased? I think the game is glitchy, guys. It said I got captured. It said it captured me while I was in the cutscene. What? That makes no sense. Okay, so we're not safe with SpongeBob, no matter what, as we can see. Dude, I was in the cutscene. How did he get us? Oh god, okay, whatever. Let's head on over here. Break out through the roof. What is he doing? He was like trying to get in or something. Okay, let's go to the circus and let's try to go under to the sewers. I know you have to get the hang of Grandma's house or Granny's house. It's somewhere in there. Oh no, Rod's over here. Please don't go that way. Is there anything we can throw at him? I don't think there is. Oh great. Okay, let's go around circus soon in town. Okay, we made him go around, so let's go get the hanger real quick. What? Where's it? Okay, I was about to say where's the hanger at? Oh my god, hurry up. Okay, let's go up here. And this should work if I'm correct. We have to break in right about... No, I missed it. Come on. So we have to jump on here so we can break out through. Okay, let's try this one more time. Oh my god, we got to be quick because Rod is right after us. Okay, let's go up here. Oh my god, I was about to fall. Okay, and now. There you go. That's what I'm talking about. That's pretty cool, huh? You like zipline in here? Okay, so now where is this? Oh, you have to push this car. Dude, we must be strong because this is one heavy car. Okay, let's go in here. Are we safe from Rod down here? What is that? In fact, there's a gate. There's another gate down there. What have we got through here? Where does this take us guys? We're crawling inside this dark hole. I have no clue where it takes me. Okay, small gas canister. You need to remove the screws to take the gas canister. Okay, how do we do that? How do we remove the screws? We need a wrench. You got to be kidding me. Okay, so we need a wrench to remove that canister. We need the Allen wrench. Where does this take us? Oh wow. The door is locked from inside. Well, that's not like it's a big issue. We can just unlatch it. Okay, so we need this wrench. I have no clue where we can find the wrench. But let's go take the cat food to Gary. Because I really want to see that Gary the snail cat. It looks pretty hilarious. Hopefully Rod's not over here. Where is he at? Here's footsteps. Where is this guy? I do not want to go inside the house because what if he's in there waiting for us? But you know what? Here goes nothing. Oh my God, he's right behind the door. I knew he was in here. It seems like he's stuck. No, stay inside. Oh my God. Alright, no, there it comes. Oh God. He was stuck under. Okay, so we need to find this wrench. Oh no, we need to lose this guy. Oh no, we can't go back this way. It's a dead end. No, I'm stuck. Oh my God. Dude, it just stopped working. Okay, I don't know if this is a good idea coming in here while Rod is right behind us. Oh my God, he's here. No. Okay, maybe we come. Oh, he hasn't seen us yet. Come on, do something. Dude, he's just standing there. Oh God, no. Okay, now he's out for sure. No. Okay, nice. We managed to get through. Dude, that was so close. Alright, now let's go back to the cemetery and get this cat food to Gary the Snayer. Dude, that cat looks so weird. I want to see it. Okay, let's go see how this ends up. Okay, we place the cat food. Okay, kitty, come down here. Oh look at the kitty. It's Gary the Snayer. Oh my God, this thing looks scary. It looks pretty cool, but it's scary at the same time. Okay, now we go back. Where do we take this to cinema? I forgot we have to switch it out for the alarm clock. This is a nice little cat. Okay, so what do we do with this alarm clock? I think the wrench is somewhere here too. Let's look for the wrench. It might be in that box right there. Nope. And there is no wrench. Great. I know it's somewhere here. We just got to look for it. Is that a wrench? No. No. Go the other way, man. Come on, where's the wrench? I know I've seen it here last time. There's so many cars to search here. Okay, we can't search these. Oh yeah, and you guys, look at this. It says non-cola. Maybe that's like a little reference to the non-game perfume. No, we do not need perfume right now. Come on, where is this wrench? I know it has to be here. Toolbox wrench? Uh-huh, there you go. We got the Allen wrench. Okay, so it's like we're progressing a little, which is good. My God, okay, he's over there. He fell asleep? What? It just sounded like he was snoring. Okay, so we go back to the circus. We unscrew that. Thing whatever it was. Well done, girl. I'm trying to solve these puzzles out here. What's back here, right? What's it here? What's this door, right? Okay, there you go. Can you open these? Okay, nope. Okay, we're stuck. All right, nice. So we unscrew these here. Why can't I get it? Okay, let's crouch. Maybe if I crouch. Right, there you go. And we got this canister. Okay, I think we have to take this to the Altar. Back to the cemetery it is, then. Dude, these doors are like against me. I swear. Oh no. Oh no. Can we throw this at him? Great. Oh my God, okay. We need this. Let's go this way. Okay, we go back to the cemetery. We're pretty good. I feel like we're doing way more better than the first time I actually created this. Place this here. Nice. We have one out of three things. Oh yeah, I think we need a cat for this. So we have to go back. Where is he at? All right, there he is. Okay, come this way, Rod. Okay, he's not chasing me anymore. There you go. Oh my God, he was about to chase us. And I clicked the rock place again. Hey, the Chrissy Krab. So the Chrissy Krab is everywhere. Because we saw the Chrissy Krab here at the circus and back there at the cinema. Rock spot, sorry. I'm sorry, I don't make the new drive a lot, but Rod. What happened? Why have you cried, little boy? You and I are the same. That's right. The case is, I see you sitting there. What is going on? Small, so helpless. Sometimes I forget that I was like that. Why is there a heart beating that's on fire? Things just got weird, man. Oh God. You'll see. You will become an ice cream maker as good as him. Mark my words, son. You won't discover how to take revenge on them all. I am a little confused here. Dude, it just shrunk. Stop beating. Okay, that was something else. I've definitely never seen that. Okay, so we're back at the cemetery. I have no clue what he wants from you, but he is over there. Okay, so we got this, that. What else do we need? It says you have place two out of three. Okay, so now we need the matchbox so we can blow this bad boy up. And it has to be right here. There you go. Okay, nice. So we're going to blow this altar right here. As you can see, great. You have place to matchbox. Oh God, here goes nothing. Come on. Is he going to blow or what? Do something, man. Oh, that was epic. Okay, what do we have in here? What is going on in this place? You needed a knob to open this door? Oh, no. Can he come in here? I don't think he can. Where is he going? Okay, I think we're safe here. Okay, so we need a knob. All right, so we have to go back. My God, okay. So we have to go back to Charlie and the other guy. We have to give him that perfume we saw. Okay, we go in here. Talk to this guy. What's up, Jay? What up, bro? I have a rare piece that I found out there. Okay. Surely you know what to do with it. If you bring me something. Square word. Didn't even look like square word. Super cool. Sure. I could do something. Thank you so much and let's get out of here. Okay, now we go back to the cemetery and we use that door knob on those closed... Just closed cabinets. Oh, great. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Oh, we got the cage key. Let's go. Okay, now we can finally get out of this place and help our friends. Let's go, let's go. Hey, open it. Oh, we have to travel to the neighborhood. Oh my God. I can't believe I'm actually about to beat this. Dude, that thing looks so terrifying. That's the squirrel, Sandy's squirrel. Jump. Are you kidding me? She didn't jump off the van. Yeah, Patrick's voice. Bless, I love you from the first day I saw you. I hope you feel the same. Do you love me? From Mike. Wait, so he likes her? Wait, what? Oh, look, we got milk and eggs now for beating the game. Wow. To be complete... I mean, game continues to be completed. You have completed the game. What do you think? Leave us a rating comment. Well, it was pretty awesome. Not gonna lie. So as you can see, there definitely gonna be a chapter three to this. As it says, to be continued. My God, that was insane. That sponge rod is something else too, man. All right, well, that was pretty neat. We managed to beat the game. Our second time playing it because the first time I played it, I did kind of bad. But this time around, we kind of knew what to do and what not to do. And we managed to escape. Well, I escaped. I don't know about the girls. She didn't even jump off the van. So basically, we did all that work for nothing because she didn't even escape. All right, you guys, well, this was ice cream. That's what I say, sponge cream too.

UCKuSaHewQKWjR2wFuqfkMEA	WWR: Quotas Released, Language/Leadership Awards, DOD Travel Ban (Nov. 22, 2015)		[ "navy", "united states navy", "us navy", "military", "sailors", "united states", "america", "usa", "usn", "service members" ]	2015-11-22T19:49:54	2024-02-05T09:02:27	142	zqLO_158lqY	Hey guys, this week in the rundown we have the latest on quotas and release dates for advancement results. Nominees are wanted for language and leadership awards, and the DOD has listed a personnel travel ban in light of the recent events in Paris. They're here. Advancement results are scheduled to be released to Command Triads November 24th, and the full list of individual results are expected to be released and posted to navy.mil November 25th. Right now, approved quotas for active duty, FTS, and selective reserves are available to view on navy.mil. Be sure to stay tuned to the rundown for the latest on advancement news. Last week, CMP announced that two offices are seeking nominees for their awards. The Navy Office of Outreach and Engagement is seeking nominees for the 2016 Captain Joy Bright Hancock and Master Chief Anna Dervartarian leadership awards. The awards are presented annually to service members who have exhibited exceptional leadership and foster a positive working environment. Also, the Navy Language Regional Expertise and Culture Office is seeking nominees for three of their awards. The awards are Linguists of the Year, Language Professional of the Year, and Command Language Program of the Year. Check out the stories on navy.mil.cmp for all the details. Due to the terrorist attacks last week, the European Command has banned all DOD personnel travel to Paris. This includes any non-work-related travel. The policy prohibits service members and civilian DOD employees from unofficial travel within a 31-mile radius of the city. The DOD, however, permits travel outside of Paris and the use of commercial airline connections in France. For more information, visit ucom.dod.live.mil. Finally, just a heads up, there will not be a rundown episode next week due to the holidays. Hope you're not too heartbroken. Remember to be safe throughout this holiday season, especially on the road. I hope everyone enjoys time with friends and family. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone. Well, that's all for this week. For any questions, send us a message at usnpeople at gmail.com. For the Chief of Neighbor Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Burleson. Thanks for watching.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqLO_158lqY", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

And none of us have all the solutions. So I think if you come together, that same solution can be happening in different ways in the different cultures. But I think the reality remains one of the most powerful systems in the world is the financial system. And I think that frankly unifies the globe as well.

The order of the words in the expression is fixed. For example, we can't say roll and rock, or less or more. In this lesson, you'll learn 10 common binomial expressions in English with definitions and example sentences. 1. Pros and cons The advantages, pros and disadvantages, cons of something. For example, what are the pros and cons of moving from the countryside to the city? 2. Sick and tired When you are extremely annoyed or frustrated with a person or situation, you are at the point where you will not tolerate the situation anymore and you might get angry or lose your patience. I'm sick and tired of working long hours for such little pay. I'm going to quit my job. 3. Short and sweet When something is very quick and gets directly to the point, it is no longer than it needs to be. In other words, it doesn't waste time. Her presentation was short and sweet. She gave a great overview of the topic in just 15 minutes. 4. Odds and ends Various small, unimportant and inexpensive items. I need to clean out my desk. The drawers are full of odds and ends. In this case, the odds and ends might be pencils, papers, calculators, and other small objects. In addition to physical objects, this expression can also be used for miscellaneous tasks or pieces of information. John's still at work, taking care of a few odds and ends before leaving for the day. 5. Back and forth Moving first in one direction and then in the other. This bus runs back and forth from the airport to the train station. The distance of this movement doesn't need to be large. For example, you can say, the boys threw the baseball back and forth. 6. By and large This expression means in general or usually. There are a couple things I don't like about my neighborhood, but by and large it's a nice place to live. 7. Wear and tear The damage to something that happens gradually over time from regularly using it. I'm selling my cell phone. Although it has a bit of wear and tear, it works perfectly. 8. Safe and sound Not in danger and not injured in any way. We were worried when our dog went missing for a week. Luckily we found him safe and sound in the park. 9. Sooner or later This expression means that something will definitely happen, although we don't know exactly when. We're all going to die sooner or later. 10. Ups and downs Alternating periods of things going well and things going badly. There have been a lot of ups and downs during our 30 years of marriage.

We are to maintain their emotions and their intellectual ability because the God has to manage his emotions and he has to look at it with a sense of responsibility and a sense of wisdom and it is very important to create this resilience in the child so that he can compete in the situation that energy can develop in him through which he sees the situation and according to that try to put yourself in this Sometimes it happens that when work related stress and anxiety is manipulated so work anxiety for a lot of things, people manage it and then we can reduce it, for example, there is a lot of work anxiety when there is a distortion in it, its schedule is not there, there are some things in it that we can not keep the schedule here is that on a higher level, it happens that students are unable to manage their studies to manage their activities they are unable to do things at the proper time and they are not caring of their schedules and in that it is obvious that if the person manages himself, manages his schedule, manages the time then they got satisfied they are satisfied and their work is also accurate and you get a chance to do that and in this, the person becomes very productive we did the assignment once, we did it properly it was accurate and according to that, the mission was correct and the encouragement was there, free bed was very good and we are to become successful in that activity and this success, that is very necessary for the development of resilience and once, when we get the activity to keep resilience up, we have to sustain it we have to continue it and once, we have done the assignment on our own time, managed our stressors so we have to maintain it for the next time or it is easy to maintain because once it has been done it is very easy and comfortable when we are doing it again and the next time activity so for resilience, we are to manage the individual trait because it is related with the individual personal characteristics and we can suggest it based on its personality, personality, and abilities and most of the time, those interactions are very useful for which friends they meet, which friends they meet and how their interactions are they share their successes and what is the reflection of their friends if their friends are encouraging the individual then their resilience will be more useful and they get very ready to do the next assignment or task similarly, it is the responsibility of institution to develop sort of activities like institution like academic institution school, college and universities where students are working so teachers are to manage sort of activities to reduce the stressors, to reduce the pressure and the ambiguities and non-clear environment are to be managed and make it clear and make it compatible and suitable for the proper execution of that activity there should be some standards that should be declared and clear to the participant of that activity that what we have to do sometimes the confusion is that the student or the participant is unable to understand that to what extent I have to work and sometimes it is a problem for students that they are not getting the examples so from the examples where there is a confusion that they are just replicated so in the end they get a chance to reduce their resilience and to ensure their activities and tasks and to accept their task with a standard there should be a system that should be guided with a standard and in the high quality teaching it is important that we monitor it step by step we are giving it feedback and after the feedback we are monitoring the progress rather the person is going to improve the task and abilities and also there is a resilience power and if we involve all these activities then we are sure that the responsibility is well empowered to do your task it has very well enriched resilience and if there is a challenge or a situation where it gets resistance then the person is able to compete with the situation stay with us	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqpVhgyYzLc", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Half-ton truck headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2009 Chevy Avalanche. This truck has the 5.3 liter V8 motor. From this HD video you will be able to tell that this truck is extremely clean all the way around inside and out considering the age and miles on it. It has the roof rack, black is the color and I always like to point out we shoot all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or a smartphone device turn them on right now because it's like you're right here looking at the truck with me. Factory running boards it comes with moto metal, black and red painted alloy rims and it has Kelly Edge 265-65R18 tires on here. These tires look like they have probably about 80 to 90% of the tread left so lots of good tread left on those tires and see just how shiny and reflective that paint is. Front bumpers in pretty good condition maybe one tiny little crack right there but other than that pretty nice. Passenger side fender is in really nice shape as well no dents or dings or scuffs. Passenger side rim no scuffs or scrapes on that and as you go down this side of the truck you can see just how clean that body is how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down you can still see the truck here the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before even get here especially with something a little bit more miles on it like this one. Plastics in really nice condition and on this side very clean factory step bars on this side are in nice condition as well and this back rim is in nice shape too. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires as the plastic wheel well linings and see it has the storage bins on the side here you get storage all the way down there down the side of the box and those are lockable. As we come around to the back the rear bumper is in nice condition it does come with a full towing package which includes the receiver hitch seven pin wiring backup sensors the tailgate is in really nice condition as well has the factory hard plank tonneau cover has the drop-in bed mat and that back folds down when you take the back window out and everything that you can do on these trucks we are not going to demo that today but maybe in another video. As you go down this side of the truck just as clean as that passenger side you can see just how nice and reflective and shiny that paint is.

Then you're risking the second meals. Yeah, so it's like if you're locked into it and you decide again, these are like what I really want the angels. Right. You can pass on it. Not being one. Not being one? Maybe he's covering Sunday. He's coming Saturday for me. Or vice versa. Maybe one of those days. You can message him and be like, hey, are you switching days? He's a dangerous wanderer. I'm gonna say that, it's not like it's a bad thing. What's going on, Eric? What are you doing, buddy? Yeah, I'm gonna go do some waters right now and then we'll see who sold it out and then we'll start that break. Again, another guy who knows what he's doing. If you talk about the Minnesota Vikings, they have on the left side with Luke, Junior and Evans. Two years of experience, lack of experience and also, too, they give so much customer. So they have to come up, not shoot your gun and hope it as you're gonna make it. But you gotta come up every day, Jerry Brown. That's a grown man. You turn up there with some enthusiasm and some understanding that you can get thrown out the club if you're not wearing a right outfit. And his run after catch, his releasing and his run after run. And you combine that with a big, bully ball that he likes to play when he gets the ball. You know what it says? He becomes dangerous. And that's why he was traded from Tennessee. Another man strats. What comes another man strats? One of the majors really played his weak one. They wanted to take that big play away. How do you make them pay for that? You run the football more effectively. So that's gonna be certain that the Eagles are gonna be down K-Game well, but they've got 50 other running backs calling it that they get deployed at their disposal. So they do a comfortable knock-ball with K-Game. He's got a man. He's got a man. He's got a man. He's got a man. What were those guys inconsistent so they just got his one guy? Man over. Man over. You're ready to go? I'm ready. He's got a man. He's got a man. He's got a man. He's got a man. He's got a man. Already had for you an event to experience the drama when you stacked your bets to create a super-parlain. New bets for your favorite teams and players across multiple games. This season, don't just watch the game, down-blood scenes or sports for your experience of a game like we've ever been holding. I guess I'll go with my time games on my phone, and I'll catch every test that I've ever seen. They have to be the part of the bell rhythm. I got you home with a star stream, and I hope I see you then when I start to see something up above. It's just us, we are here to cheer you on, man, to cheer you on. Something in there, come and get it, girl. I'm here, I'm there, stay where I am. So thank you guys, man. That's a lot of guys. They can get after the quarterback game. Wait a minute. They just don't sit up and ask much, all right, you? No, they can do that. Just sit back there and just wait for them. Go get them, man. I think it's gonna be tough, Slade. It's a lot of things to do to me. You should just sign the line of the script and get it after the quarterback. I just saw a scene. Also, two guys, if anybody wants the Red Sox in picker team number six of a hobby edition, I just restocked them. Somebody had requested a refund. The Red Sox are available again if anybody wants them. And then the Cubs in picker team number four of HTA are getting restocked as well. Playton Patches' R&B did sell out, which sells on Playton Patches' number two. As you can see, number three and four have been posted already down to 21 and 23. That's the only breaks sold out right now, guys. So, again, get 10% off. Instead of sending a three, I don't know if it's actually true. I'll try it, but still get 10% off if it's still active right now, guys. And then we have two fillers. This one fills with picker team number two of HTA. We're giving away 11 teams, including some pretty nice ones that Astros, Phillies, Braves, Twins, Rays, Angels. All of these teams here have some really good prospects, guys. I learned a lot about them. A lot of good ones there. And then same thing here. This one fills two hobby cases. Now, in my opinion, hobby has looked a lot better. HTA has some nice stuff. I did see a couple good cases yesterday with me on Fanatics Live, but some of them were hit or miss. But that one has 36 autos, which only has, of course, 24. But a lot of colors potential. And this one kills two cases, hobby picker team three and four. And we're giving away four free spots. And it's already discounted as well, 20 bucks a spot. So, yeah, Phillies were well over 200, right? Braves over 170, Astros over 150. Some really good teams, guys. So, those are the two fillers there. And then, yeah, we still have six left in the kickoff with the last filler and more plates and patches. And then we still have some spectra basketball as well. So, we'll do this R&B first, though, guys. And this is the right place to find your inner peace. God, that's it. God, that's it. Put your numbers, 90,000 people, and it doesn't take very long. We've got the staff off of Meditation, so I'm still at this level. So, I'm shaking tremors. I can tell you guys, let's move forward a little bit. Yeah. A lot of mistakes going against you. We've got variants of offensive for me. And I'm still going for them. I'm going to go get them. All right. Well, I'll probably be able to start this a little earlier. Maybe, like, 340, like in 10 minutes. So, I'm going to start setting everything up, though. Yeah, guys. Obviously, for the most part, I'm feeling a little bit better than I did yesterday, but I will say though, yesterday, I think, I'm feeling a little bit better. I'm feeling a little bit better than I did yesterday, but I will say though, yesterday, I think, I talked so much throughout the night yesterday on Fanatic's Live, you know, trying to push breaks and just interact with customers. Last night when I got home, man, my throat was, like, killing me. And not in the sense of, like, my strep, but more like I messed with maybe my tonsils or just, like, just worn out from just having to speak the whole time. So, I'm going to try my best to kind of not talk as much today. So, if you hear me, so, if you hear me more quiet, I'll probably be chatting more, like, in the chat physically with you guys rather than speaking, because I hated having to go home last night and I couldn't sleep because of it. Yeah, Mike, I think what it was was, I think it was just updating all the other apps that I redownloaded. It basically needed a finish, and then when I clicked it, it downloaded it right away. So, maybe I was just being a little impatient. Yeah, for us it was, like, chill, chill. Need to chill. All right, so what are the teams in this R&B again? So, R&B... ... ... ... ... ... ... Right, for real. Do you not know how much money I spend on Amazon daily with my wife? She's the addict more than I am, but... Like, we're so spoiled with Amazon, you know that, right? Like, Amazon spoiled us with the whole two-day prime delivery and, you know, the free shipping, although we pay for membership, but, you know, like, now when we get charged shipping elsewhere, we, like, have to wait, like, four to five business days. Like, it's just like a hassle now. It's like, I don't even want to buy for that store anymore. And I can just get it on Amazon. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I think somebody said either it was like the main guy at the office or, I don't know if there was a guy who ever stole this, I don't remember if he stole this one or if it was a new one. So funny. Alright guys, let's run this R&B and then we'll start the breakout. Five minutes. What's up everybody, Jason here for Jaspy's Case Breaks.com. 2023, Palate Tim Hatch's 6 box half case picker team number two just sold out with this random number block. That features the Colts, the Chiefs, the Bangles, or sorry the Colts Chiefs Cowboys Titans Bangles Cardinals. Now you get a piece of these teams like you would in any other R&B. If there's any hits for those six teams we go and distribute those hits by the zero number. We go by the first number on the left side of the zero number dash, there's your examples there. Any non-numbered cards are randomized to the group. Any redemptions go to spot zero, etc. So here's the dice roller, here's the customer names and the numbers. Let's roll. It's a two. Two times on the names and numbers. One. Two. Keith. Down to Douglas. One. Two. Eats down to six. All right, Keith of eight, Chris with seven, Douglas with nine, four, Chris with two, Craig with five, Chris with one, Keith with three, Douglas with zero, and six. So thank you guys. Coming up next in the seventh video is going to be plates and patches PYC number two. Three and four on the website guys. You're going to get those going too as well. So the boxes are going to be in the sorting room from like the shelving. Okay. I'll take it for right around here. Take one. Um, I think they can, Eric. I think they're still the better team, even though they're a little banged up. But, uh, you know, they're missing a couple of people on defense just as the Vikings are missing the starting center today. So, you know, we pretty much shut down Justin Jefferson last year with Darius lay, which I expect Slay to be on his A game today. But I have a feeling though, Justin Jefferson say still going to be explosive and explode. But I think Kirk Cousins going to have a hard time getting the ball out quick. Because the Eagles front, the front line is just too darn good. And they're missing the starting center today. So Jaylen Carter, electric cocks, all those guys are just going to feast. So I expect them to win. But I mean, I'm not like confident and cocky about it. You know, let the scoreboard do the talking. That's what I usually say. But I expect them to win. Can they lose? Of course. You know, Vikings are a good team too. You know, I just don't trust prime time Kirk though, you know. All right. Yeah, I expect the Eagles to play much better to this game. I think the Eagles last game were very, very sloppy and rusty. I think them not playing in preseason really, really came back with a vengeance for them. Came back to bite them. Not even playing a series or two. So they should play much better. And I don't think weather should be a problem in this game. That Patriots game early on, it was really, really raining. It should be a beautiful day. Like I said, this should man. You know, like I said, I think the Vikings defense is not as good as a one-tourist. So they should have a good time, but we'll see. I don't know. These games are always tricky. If there's a night game after a short week, especially early on in the season, it's usually a little tricky. And then you can never count for injuries, you know. All right, here we go, guys. What's up, everybody? Here we go, guys. So second half of the case. Not sure how the first half was since Joe did it yesterday, but I think they skipped a year or two of Plates and Patches, I feel like. I feel like last time I've seen Plates and Patches was like 2020. Kind of excited to see that back. All right, so. Make some room here for the R&B. So that was the R&B list right there, guys. And again, all these boxes have a 2. That one looks like a Z, but I'll have a 2 on it. I'll let you guys know. From the same case. Two autos and one mem. Ooh, nice, dude. All right, a little sauce. All right, here we go. All right, here we go. Two autos and one mem. Ooh, nice, dude. All right, a little sauce. Looks pretty nice. Kenny B. Got a 25 for the Steelers. Got a Brent. And we got a RPA there. Out of 50. Jaden Reed. Nice one there. For the Green Bay Packers. I bought a little at Bryant Young. Out of 75. All Hall. 49 is Nick with that one. And then we got a relic here. For Laredas Trade Tucker. Out of 59 there. Really. Those first bucks. Oh, I guess there wasn't a plate in that one either, right? I guess so. I remember plates and patches always had a printing plate in every pack or every box. I don't remember that. Dolls and shelves. Unless this is what they're calling a plate now. That's probably why it feels like this. This could probably be a plate. On the card. Maybe they kind of switched it up a little bit. We got a Marvin Mims. Nice three color patch. Number to 25. Broncos. Wanted Joseph. Rashad. Highly revered. A modern Rashad. To 75 for the Vikings. I don't know man. I can't really tell you. It's my first look at this. Can't tell you man. Minnesota Vikings. That's going to tell us. And then we have a Michael Wilson for the Cardinals. That is 45. Oh sorry Cardinals sorry. That's part of the R&B. 40-0 on the doubles. Alright well here's your plates buddy. You wanted plates. You got them. I guess let's go this way. Double covers for 75. Rashon Johnson. Nice patches there for the Bears. Like Chris. Bears going to Chris. I want more Bears. Tyler Scott. And I want a little Jamal Williams. Nice one there. Out of 75. That's New Orleans Saints. Saints going to Eric Al. That's number 3275. Here's your plates buddy. Steel signatures. Jane and Reid. Green Bay Packers. Wanted Joseph. And Jackson Smith and the Jigler. For the Seahawks. Going to Vaughan. All American metal. Alright next one guys. Justin Jefferson. Out of 50. We're out of 35. Douglas in Minnesota. Vaughan Miller. Bill's base. Nice to Mark Gibbs. Look at those patches right there. All the Loins. Steve Herrick. And 75 out of 75. That's a Plexigal Burse. Wow that's a Plexigal Burse. For the Jim and Giant. Going to Joseph. 44 out of 75. Steel signatures. Josh Downs. For the Colts. Indianapolis Colts. For the R&B. 174. Douglas. Alright two more boxes guys. Gabriel Davis. 20 out of 25 for the Bill's. Keith Downs. And Jamal Charles for the Chiefs. That is actually not numbered so I have to randomize that to somebody in the break. For the R&B. Got Jaylen Hyatt to 75. Giant's over Joseph. Orlando Pace for the Rams. Joseph as well. 76 out of 99. And Clayton Toon. Steel signatures. That looks nice for Arizona. That's three out of five. Three. Three. One of Keith with the R&B. There you go man. I apologize guys. I'm trying to save my voice as much as I can. Still a little sick. I won't be trying to yell as much or speak up a little bit. Last box. And Tajay Spears. Plates and patches. Four out of ten for the Titans. That's part of the R&B. Douglas. Walker. Spears. Another one there. 35 out of 75. Five is Craig. The Chiefs. Three out of 149. Another one for the R&B. Three. Last one here is Sam LaForta. Out of 149 for the Lions. Steve Herrick. Alrighty folks. There you go. That was the second half. There might have been some bigger hits in the first half. All in all a good mix of nice rookies and vets. Some fun players to see. And R&B looks a little bit too shabby actually. A lot of the same numbers didn't pop up though. So some teams some numbers eight. But other than that still something. Going to randomize the R&Bs. Someone's going to get this Jamal Char. That's not numbered. Roll. Seven times. And seven. Douglass. Get the non-number card now. Appreciate it guys. Three and four in the store. Jaspyskiesbricks.com Yeah man. We sold a couple straight up spots today. But just like anything else. We're always going to need a little bit of help than just one or two people. But yeah. We sold some spots in the filler and some straight up spots. So if you guys want to do that. Let's test that filler. So it's keeping us from breaking. We're going to have success. Or sometime we may need a lot of detriment to it. Because it's like a place like Great, really run last year. We're going to have a little little leaf drive. We're going to have a little bit of a run. It was the best way to super hold with the best. It was really well done. Top three. Get out there. It makes you live on. Now your safety's up. Have to account for it. This person, 90's, who is the master of the game. The rest of the group is jealous. All right. Awesome. I didn't have any spoiler on us. Really want to thank you all for being so kind to who we are. Because this is a huge meaning for the Bangladesh campaign. I'm just looking at you now. My girlfriend, this is really cool. This is a good idea. This one elapsed two cases hobby picker team three and four and we're only selling 26 bots We're giving away for free. So get a chance to increase your chances of winning. I mean basically Top 18 more than half of you guys are gonna get in And I think all of these teams are around at least a spot parry. It's not a wise doctor like 69 bucks. So 60 bucks. I think around there. So Not a bad deal guys a lot of these teams like the Phillies Braves Astros twins Rays, I think angels are all over a hundred bucks And then the Rose I think are like 90 bucks or 80 90 bucks. I want to say blue jays all the way down to the White Sox So not a bad deal there guys. We also have more plates and patches again Hip rate if you have to do it for eight six spots plus the last filler and then look at this Buy one get one free tonight only spectra R&B Magic warriors thunder rockets pistons blazer seltz exquisite nets bulls Buy one get one. That's a great deal right there guys so Guys we get some breaks moving guys All right, let's check it out. Eric got the Broncos Broncos off the board It's about other chargers Are you doing more plates and patches guys Thursday night football on today? Everybody seems like they're getting plates and patches my last three orders David. Let's do it Vikings and Cowboys three Let's go. Thank you David Plates and patches now down to 17 guys. Let's do some place and patches again fresh case Oh So I can watch the game. Yeah, yeah, that's right for your poor voice I know I'm trying not to speak so much today. You feel good Like you know, I feel better today, but yesterday voice is just from all the talking yesterday My throat is just killing me last night. There's more of those losses No, that's good. Yeah, I went away after asleep because it's like I wasn't talking for the last 12 hours The body's feeling better. Yeah Yeah, my other box I've already pretty much taken away all the throat pain, but it was just really sore yesterday Stuff's the worst if I get like sick, that's the first thing that hurts That's worth rowing I Got the Jaguars Jaguars and Patriots nice 16 left You I 16 left and plates and patches guys What sort of five blocks of 200 instantly a bonus that's definitely the draft case to work with gap because life's more fun When you're in on the accident the ground is I I want to see Justin Jefferson, the high schooler, who has a two star recruit, ranked in his class of senior year. Did this kid here know that he was going to be a super star? I mean, at this point, I feel like I'm going to be good as a super star. I'm definitely not. I definitely like being under the air. I have people all around me too much, catching me with my surprise. You have a smile on your face as you watch this. What are you thinking about? I really like memories for sure. I always watch my team over and over again to see how I'm doing and everything is really different. Okay, so tell me about the second case gating report. How is Justin Jefferson moving? He's moving really good. I don't think he's moving at all. Alright guys, so again, this break is down to 16 left. Again, we also have those fillers there for HTA at 21 and the hobby that sells off Picker Team 3 and 4 at 21, guys. So again, obviously we have a couple fillers up there. If you guys want to get that going instead. Definitely on the day before we finish, it's definitely something special. But of course, I want to be the one who can do that. I was just trying to be up here on the team. At the end of the year, I'll always just lay my example. You know, just come over and definitely take on more of the leadership role and become the captain of the team. Because I know a lot of people are watching and have a lot of expectations from me. I've been here for every single year. I have been seeing the plays that I've been getting for a matter of a year. I think that's all that matters. He's built his connection with Kirk and he talked about the immense respect he has for Slade. But stated, I'll be going right back at him for more on the evil side of things. He told me that because the role that goes through with no one, through a parent. Darryl Slade is big, big, small, that's what I'll call him down. He said at first, well, no one's perfect, he's not superhuman. Okay. The guy who wants to help this evil's office out tonight, office support leader Brian Johnson, Michael Smith. I hear you've got more on him. Thank you, Kelly. Probably pretty pointless on our part to tell all the fans to chill. To trust the process. Darryl gets to Broncos number four. Marshall Lynch is back. Beast mode is in the building and as usual, you do not want to miss that. The Jersey Mike's king ring box is the easiest way to keep your friends. A hardcore has taken you so. That's why we're having a track. With the first pick, Sarah from Carolina selects number 13, the original Italian. You know, I trust my gut and that's exactly what the sub's going to go. Hold on, we've got a trade. Jay traded his second pick with me. But some star crashed his next sub's to go. Where are we going to make a friends go? Jersey Mike's, a simple club. That's what we're going to do. In case I get him, he's talking about his friends and stuff like that. If they're good friends, that's about it. Say it. What are the expenses? I'm not sure it's going to come. Your pick isn't really bad. She's there. He's crazy there. I said she's there. I don't care. She doesn't think they're going to go dry. He's not there. They're going to go dry. They're going to go dry. That's three or four counts. And he gets those in this game. Thank you, every one. Thank you, Aaron. You're excited about AI. We're excited about what AI will do for business. Introduce it to WatsonX, a platform designed to multiply output. We're training AI when you're dating. When you want to next your business, you can build AI to help companies grow faster, customer service respond better, and employees and repetitive tasks in less time. Let's create AI to transform businesses. I'm just speculating. I think that's a good one. Not from you. Not really. I have all the cocktail signs last night. Last night? Yeah, last night I got a soulmate inside. I thought that was a really interesting thing to do, but I was like, get out to her. I'm going to do the nuker-tongue console on the TV. Dude, that looks crazy. Usually, you have to take out a console, but these are already gone. Oh, I'm going to do the nuker-tongue console. Oh, sure. I'm going to do the nuker-tongue console. I'm going to have a boss team. I'm going to do the nuker-tongue console. I'm going to see all the fans last week, and all the things coming out of there, because people are just sluggish. Dan Hurst. MVP came in from last year. He did not play. An MVP won last week, and I'm going to see that keep going, but I'm not going to equate that. I like to see what fans pick up, spread them all around. Lazar Garder, their promo tied in. Only had 0catches will it target. I'll just take a look. There was opportunities. I think the players were there to be made, but this offense, I don't see anything else. They switched bot there and gave him a ball. No game well tonight. Doing a smoothie shot there and it's been placed down the billboard. Yeah, I want to see sacks. I want to see sacks. This defense land the league inside. 70 sacks, 2-7-2 on the record. They didn't go record. And I want to see that. They had two last week. They're on pace for 34 sacks. I want to see what defensive players are going for there. You should have the sign you can do with the secondary. You know what you're losing for that player today. You're losing, uh... Weakenshut. Weakenshut. Weakenshut. Yeah. You four-chops up the game. You have to make up for that. And you're going to have to focus on that. You're going to have two of the best receivers. Ford Madison is a very young receiver, but very dynamic and a big player. So I want to see a league before the interim. Yeah, I just want to see a better rhythm on offense. I think that's an excuse maker. I think that's a good point. With a new play color and a quarterback, it takes time. We're going to see a rare chance at the end of what we're going to do. We played in New England last week. Guess what defense are playing this week? Ryan Flores has been 11 years there. They get a do-over. He's going to see some blue-zero probably. He's going to have to check it down to be patient versus a... Hey, I want to go get your board with some water right there. Okay, we're going to open it. You want to go on? Because coming to those ballcars, the most popular man in the building right here is Kevin Hart, one, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, number two. Everyone loves Fitz. He's going around. Yeah, exactly. Freaking movies, guys. Pretty much. All right, that Eagles is about to start soon. Like I said, guys, you know, there are a couple of breaks we can still do today. I feel like last week with Thursday Night Football, it did slow down during the game. So, you know, for me being an Eagles fan, I'm okay with that today. But I still would like to do some breaks, though, guys. Like I said, I know Bowman still have a ton of those on the website, but we can do a lot of them are all more than halfway there, guys, honestly. So, like I said, we need a little push, guys. This one here is a pretty solid one. Almost more than half of you guys get in at 18 out of the 30. We're giving away free spots. So, really, 26, 18 out of the 26 will get a chance to get in. Very, very good odds. A lot of these teams are well over $100. So for $70, it's definitely perfect. And it's two cases, guys. Got that first sack. You can see a lot more of that. He is my front runner with defense of rookie of the year. He's kind of taller. I ain't the overall big for them. All right, next up, Tate Smith became a father on Saturday, a great girl. He has a body to push down on Sunday fits. I would say, give him some parenting advice if you don't have time. I mean, you have a lot of that. What are you expecting to see from him this year? Well, he's not the teamer who steps into two years in a row. So, he's going to do it again. I can't wait to see it. He's the top 10 receiver in the league. Okay, Alexander Madsen is now the number one back in Minnesota with the DeCercer delving hook. How much pressure is on him with? Well, I think a week more than he probably did the production they wanted. He had 11 to 11 more. I appreciate that, Eric. Yeah, man. That played some patches moving, too, man. Down to 16 now. That's something we can do as well, guys. That was just posted today. A lot of teams are manning those little, like, $20 teams. You know, $35 Giants teams. $20 bucks. We're getting off of a couple of those cheaper teams, guys. I guarantee you this feels tonight, too, guys. But, you know, like I said, most Briggs got a couple. We have a lot of highlights in year one. In fact, as we're all back, you know, we'll switch back. Marshawn Lynch. They have a plan to not be the same. They have Marshawn Lynch. We're sitting in the city, getting to know each town and its people the way they don't think. We're taking taters on the bayou to certain space stations. Marshawn has done it all. And for a visit to a small town. Like I said, a couple of these Briggs are just a filler, slash, or spots away from selling on, guys. They got David Duff, he just got the Cowboys, and Vikings in four. So that Briggs now, number four, it's catching up. 17 left, guys. Black truck. There you go. How's it going? How are you? Nice to meet you. So great. You ready to ride on this stuff? I used to. On this stuff? Yeah. I see you've got some more 32 hours on the way downtown. Ooh. You have disc brakes. There's air shock. That's smaller than 15. Yeah. And we try. You're like the OJ in the neighborhood. Your name is OJ. The OJ in the neighborhood. Yeah. How you doing, man? 60,000 hours for a new one. Okay. Okay. 30. 30. 30. Okay. And all you get is this. You got a tape. Okay. I'm not sure. Yeah. We're done. I'll show you a video. And you'll watch it. They don't know how to get to a girl. What's a idiot? Oh, he's going to tell you all that. All right, good. You caught me. We all know this ain't that, this ain't the kind ofregation you go into with your J's you know what I'm sorry. After 13 hours all right, now smell a feed. You count. Marble is so funny. Erin got the red socks in six. I don't know. It's wireless. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I've just been uploading sporadically because of the new job and everything But I'll try to upload as much as I can Going forward but getting into today's topic of this video. This is in regards to Again with the the original script Jeepers Creepers Cathedral I'm going to kind of just Summarize how the creeper escaped from the Taggart barn and kind of just go over that whole sequence that was up or the whole scene That could have been if we actually got the film that we are still 15 something years later actually still waiting for despite us still getting Jeepers Creepers 3 We're still actually waiting for a certain type of Jeepers Creepers film We've been waiting for this film since 2003 and hopefully we get it one day But essentially how the creeper ends up escaping the Taggart barn There's a scene in towards the early beginnings of the film because the film Not exactly, but it picks up right where the second film left off after after the bar fight There's a few other scenes regarding Tricia and her and her son dairy named after her brother, but then we jump into the Taggart's We go into the Taggart's farm area we see Jack junior walking from the farmhouse to the barn he He opens the barn doors and Jack Taggart senior. He is still in that barn Apparently we find out that he actually sleeps in there at night. He sleeps in there at night in his wheelchair next to the Post-puncher or whatever. It's called the harpoon that he crafted to take out the creeper He sleeps in the barn next to that and the dog sleeps right next to him to keep him company But yeah, this is how obsessed he is with the creeper. He's still He he doesn't even sleep in the farmhouse He sleeps in the barn with the post-puncher still aimed at the creeper all while the the same sign is up in front of it Hanging over it bat out of hell The creepers lifeless corpse is just sitting there But Taggart is just sitting there ready to go in case it doesn't it does wake up He has the harpoon ready He sleeps in the barn, but Jack Taggart junior. He opens the door and what happens is He startles his father and of course the father and the son they kind of have like a back and forth over Receiving money from Trish Trish has been sending this this duo of money Trish is apparently a very wealthy woman woman now and she wants to There's something that's going on something with the Taggart and several other locals that Jack junior has gathered or been in been in discussion with They're all gonna gather at the farm to kind of see the demise of the creeper some type of sacred ritual that was supposed to be Some type of sacred gathering that was gonna involve a priest. It was gonna be there It was gonna be a gathering to put an end to the creeper once and for all Trish has been involved. She's been funding whatever it is that they were trying to actually do I believe that we would have saw it on screen. I would have had a better idea or better understanding of what it is They were actually funding But the issue comes because Jack senior is not wanting to accept this money from Trish He doesn't feel like they should be making any money off of the thing that Killed his killed his killed Jack juniors brother, which is kind of a odd response from him because he's that's exactly what he's doing If I'm recalling correctly, he's charging five dollars or so Someone's charging five dollars. Unless that was Jack juniors idea as well to charge five dollars So maybe Jack senior is is is right in what he's saying Maybe Jack junior has always been the one that's been wanting to make money off of this thing that hangs in the barn But anyway, what ends up happening is Jack junior leaves the barn after they have a little brief argument He goes into the house the next day. He knows the glass glass shatters in the kitchen There's a big thud. He falls back. He goes out to the barn because the dog is barking like crazy Jack senior is claiming that he saw the creeper move the harpoon was shot at it All we see is just the still the harpoon is shot at the creeper and the corpse is still lifeless So we don't know what Jack senior is talking about. He swears. He saw it move What ends up happening is they move closer towards the creeper Come to find out that there's nothing even inside of this corpse. It's it's lifeless. They cut a knife through it Nothing, but dust comes out There's no remnants of there's nothing there that would That would let you believe that something was ever residing in this corpse It's it's as if this thing escaped a very long time ago or if not just recently Unbeknownst to Jack Taggart he at some point had to have shed his skin and he escaped We're finding out that this is probably how the creeper always comes back ready to go every 23 years He just sheds his skin And he has his wings back. He's in some new return form now. Why exactly he did not take out taggart I do not know Maybe because taggart is not scared of him. There's nothing for him to really Nothing for him to really take for him at the same time the creeper is all about all about Defending himself and taggart is a threat. So I would have imagined the creeper would have still taken out taggart Maybe he wasn't at his strongest Or maybe he did actually just escape right when taggart shot the harpoon Somehow or some way he got out of that barn without taggart seeing him The corpse that was there with the bat out of hell sign hanging above it. There's nothing in it It's nothing but dust It's like the creeper has shed at his old body and he's he's now just out in the open And the taggart's question where he is or where it is rather That's how the creeper escaped the taggart's barn I personally think it's a pretty cool scene or it would have been a cool scene I'm not really a big fan of us not really seeing how it got out It just kind of shedded its skin and now we're back in the fold of things because they didn't I don't think victor could come up with anything really clever there Uh, but it kind of gives you breadcrumbs of what's to come because you then in the Later portion of the script you find out what the creeper is and it kind of just Makes it it makes a little bit sense But let me know what you guys think about the creepers escape from the taggart's barn If you haven't already make sure you subscribe to no post notifications So you never miss a video in the description I'll have links on my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You would like me to cover in the future rather than mine guys.

So, the obvious first question is what are, so what are semiconductor? In fact, for a long time semiconductor materials were considered totally useless. They did not, they did not conduct as well as the metals, therefore could not be used for wires and they were not, they were quite leaky, they did conduct a little bit. So, they were no good as insulators. So, you could not use them as wires nor could you use them as the sheath around the wire. So, what good are these materials? Well, these materials lie somewhere in between and once methods of controlling their conductivity both chemically and through electrical means became known. Then their full potential was released and these are the semi conductor materials and devices. That means they do not conduct quite as well like metals do nor are they blockers of current like insulators. They are somewhere in between and their conductance, their conducting properties can be controlled through chemical means through doping and so on, but also through electrical means by applying voltages or biases and so on. So, much of semiconductor materials and devices is the science of understanding how that happens. So, let us first discuss conduction. Now, in order to have conduction you need to have charges which can move obviously. So, therefore you need to have mobile charges and let us understand where these mobile charges come from. Now, in a semiconductor if you have essentially considered an absolutely pure semiconductor, semiconductors have an average valency of 4 generally. Elemental semiconductors are like silicon, germanium and indeed now even silicon carbide and diamond are being used as high temperature semiconductor. But also you could have compound semiconductors like gallium arsenide like gallium aluminum arsenide or gallium phosphide, indium phosphide these are called 3, 5 semiconductors where you have complexes of elements from the third group and elements from the fifth group so that the average valency is still 4. Similarly, you have 2, 6 semiconductors like zinc oxide and cadmium telluride and cadium selenide and so on. These are 2, 6 semiconductor materials and their average valency is also 4. In this course at least in this set of lectures we will mostly be concentrating on elemental semiconductors and in particular whenever I take examples I will be talking of silicon. So consider absolutely pure silicon, silicon has a valency of 4 each atom has 4 electrons and it has 4 neighbors. It shares an electron with each one of its neighbors and therefore that forms essentially a covalent bond and a lot of energy is required to break this bond. So, this bond makes this element stable and a lot of energy would be required to break this bond. However, if this bond could never be broken then silicon would be an insulator because all the electrons are tied and cannot move about. Obviously, that is not the case silicon as we know is a semiconductor and therefore the amount of energy required to break these bonds is indeed available at least at room temperatures and thereabouts. So now we have essentially an equilibrium between energy the electrons which have become free because a few bonds have been broken and electrons which are bound because if bonds are broken then free electrons can then be captured back by these positions to form a bond again. So it is like a chemical process you have some free electrons they carry a negative charge you also have those places from where electrons have gone away leaving a net positive charge at that place. Now remember we must make a distinction between an iron which is the nuclear material which is absolutely fixed in this lattice and the absence of this electron which is a hole. So, suppose an electron has gone away leaving this area positively charged this atom can pull an electron from its neighbor and now the neighbor is deficient and this guy is neutral. In short if an electron has moved from my left to me then I am no more positive and my neighbor is now positive. So, while the electron has moved from my neighbor to me the charge appears to have moved from me to my neighbor earlier I was positively charged now my neighbor is positively charged. This kind of movement of charge is called hole conduction these are called holes and if you apply a field because it makes it possible for me to steal electrons from my neighbors by the way these neighbors need not be the nearest neighbor. So, because it allows me to steal electrons from my neighbors this kind of movement is called hole conduction and holes are positively charged. So, in a material I have electrons these are free electrons because the bond got broken I have holes which are positively charged and these are essentially locations from where electrons have been removed and this location can move about because the electrons can be captured from nearby neighbors. It is almost like you know there are places where you have to take your chappals off and it is considered in semiconductor that if somebody has walked off with your chappals you steal somebody else. So, this is the movement of chappals which happens in these atoms and the chapel deficient person moves from one to the other and that is how the conduction takes place. So, you have these conducting materials electrons and holes the presence of this these electrons and holes is in fact caused by the presence of energy. If there was no energy around then the bonds would have never been broken and we would not have these electrons and holes. So, therefore, the third element is energy. Now, the way an equilibrium is maintained between them is that energy causes the generation of an electron and a hole pair the bond breaks the electron walks off leaving an electron deficient place. So, now in this material you have one electron and one hole. So, one unit of energy which should be sufficient in value to break a bond results in the generation of an electron and a hole. Now, suppose there is an electron deficient phase and a free electron. Now, I am not talking of stealing an electron from a neighbor. A free electron happens to wander by then energetically it is quite attractive for this electron deficient guy to catch this this person. As a result now this electron has vanished it is not free anymore it is now bonded and that hole has vanished because this place is no more electron deficient. So, you have the electron and the hole has vanished this system has become more stable and therefore, it emits energy essentially it is this process in reverse. So, in short there is a net equilibrium of electrons and holes electrons and holes recombine to give off energy this energy shows up as vibration or what have you and then this energy in turn at some other place perhaps cause the generation of electrons and holes. It is this equilibrium which determine how many electrons and how many holes would be there at a given time. This is almost like a chemical reaction and therefore, the law of mass action applies. Let us say that the concentration of electrons in a material is represented by n this is the first order reaction and let us say that the concentration of holes is represented by p because on the right hand side there are no physical reactants. Therefore, if we write down the chemistry chemical equilibrium for this then we get that the product of electrons and holes should be constant. This implies that the temperature is constant because the amount of energy is constant therefore, the product of n and p should be constant. This implies that as electrons increase holes should decrease and the other way round this makes sense. Suppose, there were double the number of electrons then the probability of recombination would increase and the number of holes will therefore, decrease. So, therefore, this reaction essentially maintains a an equilibrium between the number of electrons the number of holes and the energy in the system and at a given temperature the product of n and p will not change in equilibrium provided equilibrium can be maintained. This now let us apply to an absolutely pure semiconductor. What happens therefore, is that as we had seen in this reaction whenever an electron is generated a hole is also generated and therefore, it stands to reason that the concentration of electrons would be the same as the concentration of holes because they are simultaneously any reaction which generates an electron also generates a hole any reaction which destroys an electron also destroys a hole. So, as a result at any given time the concentration of electrons and holes should be equal. Let us represent that equal concentration by n i and this tells us that this constant that we are talking of that is equal to n i square. n i is constant at a given temperature it will it is a function of temperature because the amount of energy available is a function of temperature. So, now we have found out this constant and therefore, we can write down the equilibrium relation which governs statistics of carriers in a semiconductor saying the product of n and p will be equal to n i square. However, a pure semiconductor is not that interesting if it was only a pure semiconductor then we would have that old picture that nothing much can be done with this material. However, we can control the concentration of electrons and holes by doping this semiconductor by adding impurity. If we add for example, phosphorus to silicon in very very small quantity these quantities are very small part per million or so. In that case the overall material properties do not change. However, every phosphorus atom has 4 neighbors, but 5 electrons. So, one of the electrons cannot be stabilized by sharing with the neighbors this electron is very easy to plug. Now, you do not need the energy to break a bond there was no bond for this fifth electron. So, therefore, it is with very little energy this electron can be detached and at room temperature practically all phosphorus atoms have lost this electron. These phosphorus atoms now are perennially positively charged because 4 electrons are shared with neighbors and the one electron which was not shared has walked off has detached from phosphorus and gone away leaving this phosphorus positively charged. Such impurities are called donors and because it has lost an electron it becomes positively charged and contributes an electron. Notice that now we have a process in which you do not have simultaneous generation of an electron and a hole. When this electron has gone away it has left an atom all 4 bonds are satisfied it has no motivation to pull an electron from its neighbor. As a result we do not have the generation of a hole simultaneously and therefore, in this material there will be many more electrons than there are holes. Similarly, if you had boron boron has only 3 it is trivalent it has only 3 electrons, but it has 4 neighbors it can share an electron with each of its neighbors if it had 4. Therefore, it is always interested in capturing an electron from somewhere so that it can form a pseudo bond with its neighbor to stabilize the lattice to stabilize its energy. Therefore, it is like a hole this hole has been created without the simultaneous creation of an electron this hole is just there because boron is there. So, now adding this by the way is called an acceptor because it has taken an electron and the electronic charge is more than its nuclear charge it is negatively charged. So, acceptors are fixed iron and which are negatively charged and phosphorus are fixed iron which phosphorus is positively charged boron is negatively charged phosphorus has donated an electron it is a donor boron has accepted an electron to become negative and therefore, it is an acceptor. So, this is roughly the kind of charged materials that you find inside the semiconductor. Now, there are donors there are acceptors there are electrons and there are holes. All of these are charged of these donors and acceptors are charged, but they are fixed in space electrons and holes are also charged, but these can move around in the semiconductor and can contribute to current. Therefore, whenever we discuss electrostatics then we will be talking of all four. However, whenever we talk of currents we will talk only of electrons and holes. So, this now tells us of this equilibrium, but also notice that when you add let us say I have got silicon and I add phosphorus to that. Now, I have many more electrons that is that makes sense. However, because of that chemical equilibrium if you have added this impurity not only would you have more electrons, but you will have much fewer holes in this material. So, why should holes be affected if you add phosphorus to a material? Well the answer is simple the probability of a holes existing is now lower, because there are so many more electrons available. So, these holes will often capture these electrons the electrons are available much more widely now. Therefore, the probability of an electron being available for being captured is much higher and therefore, the equilibrium number of holes is much smaller. So, we are still governed by that same chemical reaction n times p is the same constant n i squared the same reaction applies, but n and p are no more equal normally we add only donors or only acceptors to a semiconductor. If we add donors like phosphorus then it becomes n type, because there are electrons in it if we add only acceptors like boron then it becomes p type, because it has only acceptors and not donors. The kind of carriers which are predominantly in heavy numbers in this semiconductor those are called majority carriers and the other kind of carrier is called minority carrier. Let us take an example by the way we are not discussing only content we are also talking of teaching students. So, be warned there is a source of confusion it just so happens that phosphorus has the chemical symbol p, but it makes the semiconductor n type. So, when we talk of a p type semiconductor we are not talking of a semiconductor which is phosphorus in fact, we are talking of a semiconductor which might have boron in it. So, this confusion may be may sound trivial, but often can bother students who are just starting out make sure that you get rid of this confusion right in the beginning of the class as I have done now. So, if you put in phosphorus which is a donor then it makes the semiconductor n type and it has many more electrons then there are holes. If you add for example boron by the way phosphorus is not the only available donor there is also arsenic another material. If you add boron that is acceptor and it makes the semiconductor p type then in this material if you have added boron then this would be a p type and holes will be the majority carriers. If you have added phosphorus which is a donor then the electrons will be predominant and then that will be called n type and electrons will be called the major majority carriers. I have a bit of a bit of an objection to this terminology unfortunately it is standard, but to call these majority carriers and minority carriers you know somehow in our mind in this democracy of ours majority and minority are still quite comparable to each other. What I would like to establish now are orders of magnitudes of these quantities. Now the typical value for n i at room temperature in silicon if is of the order of 1.5 into 10 to the power 10 per centimeter. By the way in semiconductor devices it is still quite common to use the c g s system that is to say centimeter and we will do it do so here. Let us be lazy let us drop that 1.5 for orders of magnitude calculations and say that n i is of the order of 10 to the power 10. Therefore n i squared which is actually 2.25 into 10 to the power 20 and that will be per centimeter 6 that determines the product of electrons and holes. Now the number of atoms per centimeter cube is of the order of 10 to the power 20 to 23 they are about in a solid and if you dope 1 part per million then we will get a doping 10 to the power 20 to 1 part per million therefore we will get a doping which is of the order of 10 to the power 16. So let us consider this material which is p type. Remember as I had said p type does not mean phosphorus it means boron like material. It has a doping of boron and the concentration of this dopant this impurity is of the order of 10 to the power 16 per centimeter cube. This is about part per million every millionth atom is not silicon but boron. We now find out how many holes are there in this material. Remember p type predominantly boron. So there would have been of the order of 10 to the power 10 electrons to begin with but now we have added 10 to the power 16 holes to this material and therefore this number is so much larger than 10 to the power 10 that we can approximate p to the same number. So the number of majority carriers is then 10 to the power 16 or so. It will be 10 to the power 16 plus 10 which will be 1.000001. So what is 1 millionth between friends? We will agree that it is just of the order of 10 to the power 16. How many electrons are there in this material in that case? So we have p times n equals 2.25 times into 10 to the power 20 and we know that p is of the order of 10 to the power 16 and that gives us that the number of electrons in this is of the order of 2.25 into 10 to the power 4 per centimeter. There are only about 22000 electrons in this material. There are 10 to the power 16 holes and only about 22000 electrons. We have about 1300 people participating in this exercise and that means 20 times that number just that is the concentration of electrons. That is nothing. You could probably give an individual name to every electron and get to know them personally. This is a very small number of electrons. Indeed what is the ratio of holes to electrons? The ratio of holes to electrons is 10 to the power 16 divided by let us say 2.25 not tropics into 10 to the power 4 which is roughly 4 into 10 to the power 11. This ratio is of course dimensionless. This is you know these majority carriers are majority like nobody is business. There are 4 into 10 to the power 11 holes for every electron in this material. So this number you know 4 into 10 to the power 11 we get somewhat blasé about these numbers. What does it mean? So just imagine what is the population of the world? Well our population is a few 10 to the power 9 and we know that every 6 or 7th person in the world is an Indian. So the population of the world is about 10 to the power 10. 1 in 4 into 10 to the power 11 means that if I was to go around the world meeting every man woman and child and if I did it 40 times then I will meet one person of the other kind. This is the ratio between electrons and holes and this is not a particularly heavily doped material. Had I taken even higher doping this number would be even more scintillating. Therefore what I would like to say is that the majority carrier even in ordinary cases over help the major minority carriers and it is quite a good approximation to consider only the charge of the majority carriers because the minority carriers are really really in very small numbers. Therefore if you are talking of conduction in a semiconductor very often unless you have broken the equilibrium by introducing a larger number of minority carriers than usual. The number of minority carriers can be considered absolutely negligible. It is not like majority and minority in a parliament. It is like 40 times the population of the world to one. This is this is a huge differential. So now what does our semiconductor contain? It contains a number of donors. These are impurities which had an electron to spare. This electron has been detached from them and has walked off and therefore the atom itself has now become an ion which has a positive charge. You have I use capital letters here to show that these are fixed in space. You also could have acceptors which accept an electron and therefore become negatively charged. These are also static. They cannot move about in this semiconductor. You have holes which are positively charged and these can move when you apply a field. You have electrons which are negatively charged and these will also move when you apply a field. Therefore for conduction these two will contribute whereas for electrostatics the charge of all is important. We also know that the number of electrons and holes is not independent. They are constrained by this relation. The concentration of electrons is represented by n. So that is constrained by this relation that n times p is n i square and at a particular temperature this n i square is indeed constant. Now this is this is a this is a bit you know multiplication is tough. We do not like multiplication. Whenever there are multiplication what do we do? We took up take log because that reduces multiplication to addition. So essentially if I was to take log of these quantities then what it says is that log of n plus log of p that is constant. So now I have a logarithmic representation for n. I am representing electrons and holes on a log scale log scale of distance and what it says is that the distance representing electrons and the distance representing holes in the same material the sum of these two distances these distances are proportional to the logarithmic of electron logarithm of electrons and holes and what we are saying is that the sum of these two distances is always constant. Now if I change them the number of electrons and holes what it says is that I could have much smaller number of electrons maybe I could have it here a very small number of electrons but then the number of holes would be correspondingly much larger and as a result this distance will always remain the same at a given temperature. Therefore we can represent both electrons and holes by just one free variable. Once we have decided the number of electrons the number of holes can be calculated as we did in the in that case that when we calculated that n to p ratio was 4 into 10 to the power 11. So it is possible to calculate one from the other therefore there is only one independent variable. So we can call the position of this divider as that independent variable. Now if we map these two fixed ends so these two fixed ends if we map this to the band gap of this material this is the solid it has a band gap if we map this to band gap then this divider is called the Fermi level. So now you have the conduction band the balance band electrons which are bound to their atoms have energies lower they are more stable they are bound electrons which become free require a certain amount of energy to go from the balance band to the conduction band and free electrons will have energies close to the edge of this conduction band. And now we have introduced an artificial imagined level in between which simultaneously determines the concentration of holes and concentration of electrons. In this particular case this represents this represents this represents the number of holes and this represents the number of electrons and in short if holes are more then the Fermi level is much closer to the balance band because it is far away from the conduction band. Now the presence of this Fermi level alone is enough to simultaneously evaluate the number of electrons and number of holes in this material. So now we have understood the statistics of the availability of carriers just for simplicity let us say that only one kind of mobile carriers is available let us take electrons as the current carrying elements that means we have an n type semiconductor. And the concentration of the majority carrier is easy to determine because it is given essentially by the concentration of the dopants that you put inside. Now suppose I apply an electric field as the result these mobile carriers will start moving with a certain velocity. So if I have a semiconductor which is n type and which has a concentration n of electrons and let us say I apply a field in this direction making this end negative and the hidden end positive then I have applied a field here. The electrons will be attracted towards the positive side and repelled from the negative side. As a result electrons will start moving in that direction. Now if I put a unit area across and want to find out how many electrons will cross that plane so let us put a unit area somewhere in between. We put a unit area somewhere in between and we want to find out how much charge crosses from right to the left in this material in a given amount of time per unit time. That after all is the current charge per unit time is the current. So if I allowed them to move for one second then the amount of charge will be the charge which was contained in this block whose size is equal to the velocity right. Because velocity into whatever is the time that I have taken that is the distance travelled by an electron. So every electron which is in this block which was originally in this block of silicon would have crossed over this plane in time t. Just at time t this farthest electrons at this particular point would just drift over and just cross this. All the other electrons will cross this earlier therefore the total amount of charge which would cross over from this plane from the right to the left for me that is equal to the total charge contained in this volume. Now because this area is unit and the time is also unit therefore the total charge is q where charge is the carried by one single electron times n. Now n is per unit volume. What is the total volume of this? The total volume of this is area times v t and if area is unit and time is unit that means how much charge crosses over per unit area per unit time which is the current density. Therefore what we get is that j is n times q times v velocity. Now if the velocity and this will perhaps take much longer to establish we will have a brief discussion about it. But if the velocity is dependent on to the field it is dependent on the field which is causing these electrons to move and if it is linearly dependent on that field then the velocity is proportional to and therefore there is a proportionality constant here mu times the electric field. Notice that this curly E is the field and not energy. Indeed in case of negative charge the velocity will be in the opposite direction that determines the direction of the current. So if the electrons go to the left the currents go to the right which is the same direction as the field. Therefore finally what we have is that j is n times q times the mobility times the field. In other words the conductivity of this material is given by this fact. So now we have had a brief look at the electrostatics and the current conduction in this. If you have both kinds of carriers then the total current will in fact be n times q times the mobility of the electrons plus p times q times the mobility of the holes times the field and this will then be the conductance. This total thing would be the conductance of this. But as we have seen under ordinary circumstances either n is much larger than p or p is much larger than n and therefore often we are able to simplify this equation to contain only one term and use only the majority carrier term. However, notice that all of this applies only in equilibrium and you can disturb this equilibrium by putting in extra charges extra electrons and holes over and above the equilibrium condition and that is called injection. You can inject electrons into a semiconductor introduce electrons into a semiconductor and that will disturb this imbalance. This concentration will now be changed and now we have. So now we have a non-equilibrium concentration which is not given by n times p equal to n i square. This applies in equilibrium only. We will take a break at this point. We will continue this discussion. We have studied only the semiconductor materials here but now we have a gut feel of what happens in this material and how conduction takes place. We will see how we make use of this in order to make actual devices.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqf-90Xoq6Q", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

Even so, its unique functions require special measures be taken to restrict access and manipulation of the object. Approval of at least one Level 4 personnel is required for the removal of the object from its containment area. Description In appearance, SCP-005 resembles an ornate key, displaying the characteristics of a typical mass-produced key used in the 1920s. The key was discovered when a civilian used it to infiltrate a high-security facility. SCP-005 seems to have the unique ability to open any and all forms of lock, see Appendix A, be they mechanical or digital, or relative ease. The origin of this ability has yet to be determined. Additional Notes SCP-005 may be used as a replacement for law security passes, but only under the supervision of at least one Level 4 personnel. SCP-005 may not be used for vending machine repairs, opening lockers, or for any personnel spare home key. Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate termination. Appendix A While SCP-005 has been shown to be effective in removing almost any form of locking device, further experiments have shown that efforts to disguise the purpose or identity of a lock have proven at least somewhat successful in defeating SCP-005's ability. In approximately 50% of cases where a volunteer was not able to identify a locking device as such, SCP-005 was not successful in deactivating the device. Due to these results, SCP-005 had been tentatively classified as sentient, and further tests are being run to determine its cognitive abilities. However, there are no results that show any traits that prevented from being able to identify any particular locking device, only that the aforementioned device had been heavily concealed and disguised.	{ "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqncmRcVAfM", "license": "Creative Commons - Attribution - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" }

So freedom family I want to know what you think of this upcoming service in the comment section down below I think it's going to be great I can't wait to try it at least with that 30 day free trial and then I can get a better understanding as to whether or not It's going to be worth that $9.99 per month.
