75 Jahre Journalismus im WWW
https://media.ccc.de/v/Camp2019-10210-75_jahre_journalismus_im_www the untold stories Detlef Borchers, Peter Glaser und Erich Moechel erzählen, was sie im digitalen Neolithikum gesehen und erlebt, aber nie geschrieben haben. Episoden aus der Frühzeit über Gier & Dummheit & Illusionen bis die Dot.com-Blase brannte & die Datengeilheit in die digitale Welt kam. Geschichten aus den "Crypto Wars" samt schrägen Begegnungen mit Schattenmenschen, wie schnell man in was hineingeschlittert wurde & was dabei kaputtging. Wie das WWW halt wurde, was es heute ist. Der genauere Inhalt musst erst gemeinsam festgelegt werden, es wird auch Bilder geben. Sicher ist, wir werden Klartext reden, wobei auch ein Outing nicht auszuschließen ist.

told stories. Eine Diashow der beiden Journalisten neben mir aus ihrem Privatarchiven der letzten zweimal 25 Jahre. Der IT-Geschichte und zwar die Dinge die sie bis jetzt nicht veröffentlicht haben. Wir haben hier Detlef Borjas seit 1986 Journalist arbeitet bei Heise und schreibt unter anderem was war und was wird. Und Erich Möchel, Journalist und Lea Achtecker. Viel Vergnügen! Dann lasst mich mal kurz beginnen, dass wir euch erklären, warum wir überhaupt dastehen. Beim letzten Camp trafen wir zufällig zum ersten Mal alle drei aufeinander. Peter und ich schrieben in den 80er Jahren in den selben Zeitungen. Detlef ist ein Urgestein und wir trafen zusammen und dann haben wir den gesamten Nachmittag. Da in der Nähe verbrachte ich kam nicht weiter vom Eingang als bis hierher und da wurde einfach nur Schmäge führt, wie wir sagen in Wien. Es war total lustig, wir haben Spaß gehabt und das Auge dabei war. Zuerst waren fünf Leute daneben, dann waren zehn Leute daneben und so nach zwei Stunden saßen 30 Leute rundum und haben zugehört. Haben wir gesagt, das neigt beim nächsten Camp und wer heute sagt, ob er erzählt von den Crypto Wars, kriegt aufs Maul? Ja und da haben wir uns ausgemacht. Wir werden hier auftreten. Da Peter ist leider verhindert, krankheitsbedingt. Es geht erst, glaube ich, nur etwas erschöpft nach dieser großen Toko über Warholand, die sie mit ihm gedreht haben und damit ist schon dieses ziemlich absurde Bild erklärt und ich übergebe an Detlef Borchers mit der ersten Episode der unerzählten Geschichten. Unerzählte Geschichten sind es deshalb, weil wir ein paar Sachen, die wir recherchiert haben, damals nicht unbedingt veröffentlichen konnten. Ich beginne mir mit einem Menschen und ich weiß nicht, kennt den jemand? Das ist Frank Terrasimon, 1988 bis 90, ich war stellvertretender Vorsitzende des CCC. Von 1990 bis 1993 war er der Vorsitzende des CCC und warum ich in Frank hier zeige, hat mit dieser Sache zu tun. Er hat nämlich neben der Datenschleuder, die er immer auf Papier erschien, die Chalisti gegründet und in den einzelnen Netzen verteilt. Zum Beispiel im Geonet war die Chalistie unter dem Befehlbrett CCC-Presse erhältlich und seit der ersten Ausgabe beschäftigt sich die elektronische Zeitung der Hacker mit Kryptografie und Krypto ist unser Hauptthema heute. Wehe. Krypto ist nämlich schon wieder aktuell geworden, leider ja, also mit den Diskussionen über die Beschränkungen in Kryptografie. In der Chalistie, jede Chalistie nummerendete mit diesem Spruch und das ist ja eigentlich auch noch das, was heute den CCC ausmacht. Könnte jemand diesen Mann? Das ist Günter Leue, er hält ein T-Shirt hoch und warum hält er das hoch? Günter Leue ist derjenige, der diese ganze Geonet-Mailbox-Systeme betrieben hat, das sieht man da im Hintergrund und es wird in diesem Moment, wo dieses Foto entstand, ist er zum Ehrenpräsidenten des CCC ernannt worden und zwar in einer kleinen Feierstunde und jetzt stehen da ein paar andere Menschen, die werden wohl eher bekannt sein. Auf der einen Seite der Endi, auf der anderen Seite Vau und in der Mitte Günter Leue mit der Urkunde, dass er jetzt ein Ehrenpräsident geworden ist. Warum ist er das geworden? Das ist nämlich wichtig, er hat über einen Rechtsanwalt einen Verein gegründet, den Verein zur Förderung der Telekommunikation und alle Mailbox-Betreiber oder alle, die Datenfunktion machen wollten oder alle, die im Internet als Datenreisen unterwegs waren, konnten sich da ein, tragen diesen Verein, da gab es ein Aufnahmeantrag und dann war man juristisch geschützt mit seiner Mailbox und wegen diesem Aufnahmeantrag ist es so, dass er Ehrenpräsident geworden ist. Das ist sozusagen die erste Teil meiner Geschichte. Das Ganze ist passiert im Jahr 1988. Ich spring vor, ins Jahr 1989, 1990, ich erzählte euch im Telegrammstil. Ich war gerade frisch beim Standard, hab dort angefangen, hatte eine Kolumne, war Medienkritiker und hatte, bin dann auch auf, verreist auf Urlaub und hier gab es Gott sei Dank Dreisart Fernsehen und da sah ich auch die Nachrichten und so, also ich konnte so eingeschränkt auch von Hierberichterstarten, ohne dass es die Unternehmensführung überhaupt wusste, weil ich war nicht im Büro drinnen. Na und da habe ich mir so ein Ding dort ausgeburt, gab es drei, der Standard- Tageszeitung kennt ihr vielleicht, Lachsrosa. Davon gab es drei und es gab drei Toshiba Laptops, schwarz-weiß mit zwei verschiedenen Diskettenlaufwerken. Eines Betriebssystems, andere zum Specheln. Das hatte ich mit dort und mit dem Akkusikoppler hatte ich meine Text schickte ich schon damals meine Texte rüber. Na ja und da war Flugtag in Rammstein und wir waren sehr oft dort in der Gegend, weil meine Frau von dort ist und wir haben gesagt, da fahren wir hin. Noch dazu war mein Freund Axel dort mit zehn Kaisers lauter nach Panks und so hat dann das Verhängnis seinen Lauf genommen. Wir sind dort reingewachsen, restlos begift schon am Anfang und waren, sagen wir, in höherem Sphären und hinter uns war immer die Militärpolizei. Die haben immer geguckt, was wir machen. Wir hatten gar nicht viel vor. Wir haben einfach nur geschaut und haben über die Bullen gelestert, das übliche halt. Und dann ich hatte meinen Akkusikoppler dabei und ein Laptop und dann sah ich diese Telefonzelle und dann habe ich mir gedacht, ich könnte mal probieren, Field Reporting mit diesem Mist. Und bin da rein in die Telefonzelle und habe zu den Jungs gesagt, stellt sich ein bisschen rum, dass die Bullen uns nicht sehen. Das sind rund umgestanden, ich habe mich rein, fünf Magstücke, zack, zack, zack. Denkst drauf, geknallt und in dem Moment, wo es losgeht, also das Erk der Anschluss, in dem Moment ist der Akkusikoppler durch die Luft geflogen und ich bin verkehrt hinten aus der Telefonzelle rausgeflogen und habe mich zwischen zwei Baumlangen amerikanischen Militärpolizisten wiedergefunden und danach wurde ich abgeführt und musste so eine Stunde Rede und Antwort stehen. Ich war ziemlich drüber, hatte nur Schlappen an, natürlich keinen Presse aus, weiß nichts mit und habe dann halt erklärt, ich teste ja Field Reporting. Dann haben sie mich wiedergehen lassen nach einer Stunde, weil die Punks draußen gestanden sind und haben gesagt, wenn Ehrich nicht bald rauskommt, dann kommen wir rein. Das war die erste Begegnung mit der deutschen und amerikanischen Polizei gleichzeitig und ich gebe weiter an Detlef. Eine kleine englische Einspielung, das ist gelb. Deswegen, weil die Firma Lotus die Firmenfarbe gelb hatte und das ist ein Lotus Papier über Lotus Notes, eine Grupwehr. Wir befinden uns jetzt im Jahre 1996 und da hat Lotus für die NATO und die Bundeswehr das sogenannte Lotus Government Forum gemacht. Das ist eine Veranstaltung, die immer in Brüssel stattfand. Da ist ein Lotus Mensch aufgestanden und hat gesagt, es gibt die Informationsüberlegenheit und das ist eine Waffe, die wir nutzen müssen. Wir sagen, damals war der Bosnien-Konflikt am Brudel, wir sagen dem Milosevic genau, was wir machen und welche Information wir über ihn haben und dann wird er einsehen, dass wir viel stärker sind und er wird es sein lassen und damit wird ein Krieg verhindert. Da gab es viel Beifall für den Satz. Was ist aber ganz anders gekommen? Man muss sich an den Kosovo-Kriege erinnern und da hat Milosevic gar nicht mehr gezögert, sondern er hat ihn vom Zaun gebrochen. Das ist meine Erklärung dazu, die ich aus einem Artikel habe. No-Ledge-Management sollte die Bundeswehr als Friedensgruppe stärken. Er hatte aber noch einen kleinen Nachteil dieses die ganze Systemen. Der Lotus-Notes verschlüsselte zwar aber nicht ausreichend für inneramerikanische Einsätze, verschlüsselte Lotus-Notes mit 128-Bit. Die Europäer bekamen aber nur eine Lotus-Version, die mit 50-Bit verschlüsselte. Das war insofern wichtig, weil das Bundesamt damals die ersten 10.000 Lizenzen hatte und die wollten bis zum Jahr 2003 80.000 Lotus-Notes-Lizenzen einsetzen. Und dann hat der für die damalige Software, für die Softwarebeschaffungs zuständige Mensch, der Ministerialrat Teuber, gesagt, ist hingegangen. Das war auf dem Lotus-Forum 97 und hat gesagt, es ist für uns total unakzeptabel, wenn wir eine Software einsetzen, die von der NSA kontrolliert werden kann. Das kommt für die deutsche Bundeswehr nicht infrage. Was er liest dabei noch offen, wie die das sicher machen wollten, aber es war ganz klar die Ansage, wir wollen vor der NSA sicher sein. Und man muss dazu sagen, dieses Lotus-Forum war für die NATO und für die militärischen Berater gedacht. Ich sollte darüber ja nicht berichten. Ich war oft die Versammlung, wo über die Informationsüberlegenheit, wo dieses Konzept diskutiert wurde unter den Militärs, da war ich gar nicht zugelassen. Ich bin einfach im Raum geblieben von einem anderen Vortrag und konnte das dann mithören, mitschneiden und ich Papiere mitnehmen. Das ist jetzt wieder ein kleiner Abschnitt und ich übergebe an Erich. Der Stichwort ist Papiere mitnehmen. Das wird hier noch eine Rolle spielen. Also, Jahr 1995, 1996, im Februar 1995 war ich im WWW, enthusiastisch, drei Monate lang, bis mir einer meiner technischen Freunde, Trace Root und andere Kommands gezeigt habe und dann habe ich gesagt, bloß das geht alles im Kladex drüber. Ich kannte nur Analogenfunk und dann sagte der, ja natürlich, geht das im Kladex. Da habe ich gesagt, das ist ja unsicherer als ein Brief. Ja, ich habe gesagt, die haben eh keine Zeit nachzuschauen, außerdem wird eh zu schnell gewachsen und überdies wächst ja die Bandbreite viel schneller als die Speicherfähigkeit. Ja, so haben sie sich das eingeredet. Ja, und da bekam ich im Jahr 1996 ein Online-Magazin geschenkt. Das ist Quintessentz.at und das wurde von drei Teches betrieben und denen ist einfach inhaltlich das Saft ausgegangen. Die haben das unterschätzt, wie das ist, wenn man eine regelmäßige Publikation macht, dass die dann auch erscheinen muss und dass das ein Haufen Arbeit ist. Naja, und die Quintessentz verwandelt es sich binnen kürzester Zeit aus einem reinen Spaß-Magazin in den Bürgerrechts-Magazin und im Jahr 1997 war das dann schon, gab es bei uns so einen ähnlichen Rate wie bei Computersurf in München. Diesen Provider da haben sich die Server beim laufenden Betrieb aus den Regalen genommen, weil er die Newsnet-Gruppen hatte. Und da haben wir eben, weil da eben auch irgendwie Eid-Sex, was er sich was dabei war. Und wir haben dann, wir haben das dann natürlich genannt, Kottern ermittelt im Internet und so Berichte haben wir gemacht und da gab es dann den ersten Internetstreik der Provider und das haben wir mitorganisiert. Da wurde das Internet tatsächlich einen ganzen Nachmittag in Österreich fast auf Null runtergedrosselt. Also alles was öffentlich bei Providern waren, die haben alles runtergefahren. Danach ist sowas nicht mehr vorgekommen. Na und sowas haben wir auch gemacht, eine, wenn schon Kryptografie als Waffe gilt, dann legen wir auch im Waffenlager an, da gab es gerade Animated GIFs, das ist eigentlich animiert und da haben wir dann angefangen, das Plambo zu nennen und das wöchentlich als Preis für die Verstopfte Leitung zu verleihen. Die waren nicht sehr glücklich drüber, die Preisträger. Aber sie konnten irgendwie nichts machen, haben sie irgendwo es kein Tunst des Raubau, und da habe ich so gewissen Sortsgängel geschessen. Das ist nämlich meine Antwort auf sowas drauf. Wenn mich jemand dazu auffordert, dann fordere ich ihn auch. Ich hätte das nicht sagen sollen, ich habe mir vorgenommen, dass ich sage, begeben Sie sich in die Rüde kack. Ja, im Jahr 1996 war die Gewintersens plötzlich Mitglied der Global Internet Liberty Campaign mit der Elektronik von Tier Foundation, Privacy International, Epic und all den anderen. Und da waren nur mehr Krypto das Thema plötzlich und wir hatten alle nur gewartet bis die erste GUI-Version kam von BGP, gab es damals noch nicht, sie kam da war da ganz fisch und auf der Global Internet Liberty Campaign listete, das waren all das, was Rang und Namen hatte drauf, auch da CCC und zwar weltweit, das war nicht europäisch allein. Und überall haben sie nach den OECD-Empfehlungen für Kryptografie gesucht. Die waren damals noch im letzten Entwurfstadium und ich in Wien und da komme ich dann im nächsten dazu und da kam eines Tages da Datenschützer Hans Zegger zu unseren treffen. Hans Zegger hat angefangen, 1983 Daten zu schützen, der ist einer von den ganz oldschool Datenschützern, so wie Spiros Semites zum Beispiel und mehrere andere und der kam zu mir und haute mir dies auf den Tisch. Der hat die OECD-Papiere gehabt, die alle gesucht haben im Papier und ich sage, hey, wo hast du die her, Hans? Die Dinger sind konfettänstlich, die kriegt niemand. Nur Mark Rottenberg hatte sie als einziger und der durfte es nicht hergeben, weil er der Einzige war und hat der Zegger gesagt, ja aus dem Bundeskanzleramt habe ich es. Wie gesagt, was? Wieso? Hat er gesagt, nein, ich bin da reingang zum Doktor sowieso, irgendwas mit Datenschütz und das hat der Zegger das dort liegen und dann sagte er am Ende des Gesprächs apropos Herr Doktor, könnten Sie da mal einen Blick drauf werfen? Wir kennen uns nicht aus. Darauf landeten die Papiere bei mir. Yeti hat den Maik und der konnte schon OCR. Dann haben wir die 120 Seiten OCR zack und ich habe sie Korrektur gelesen, weil das war damals noch sehr fehlerhaft. Das heißt, ich habe die fast auswendig gelernt, weil ich es zweimal gemacht habe. Wir haben es zweimal bekommen und ebenso viele, habe ich Jahre später gehört, ebenso viele diplomatische Marschen gab es deswegen, von denen wir nie erfahren haben. Und beim zweiten Mal haben wir das Ding dann ins Netz gesetzt und haben dazu geschrieben, ein kleiner Service für die Delegierten, dass sie jederzeit auf das Dokument zugreifen können in elektronischer Form. Ja, und am Endmensch haben wir auch noch verfassen lassen. So, das ist mein Einstieg in die Kryptografie. Jetzt ist Detlef dran. Im Jahre 1997 hatten wir einen Minister namens Kanta, Manfred Kanta. Der hielt eine Rede in Bonn auf dem Sicherheitskongress des BSI, der hieß damals noch ein bisschen anders. Und was hat er geredet? Das ist jetzt das entscheidende Kanta, hat nämlich erzählt, wenn in einigen Jahren nicht nur der gesamte Datenverkehr über das Internet und andere Netze verschlüsselt wird, sondern vielleicht sogar das ganz normale klassische Telefongespräch, dann hat das eine wirksame, ohne eine wirksame Regulierung zur Folge, dass die Befugnisse der Strafverfolgungs- und Sicherheitsbehörden nach dem G10-Gesetz, der Strafprozessordnung oder dem Außenwirtschaftsgesetz zum Mithören der Telefon- und Datenverkehrs praktisch ins Leere laufen. Ganz, ganz schlimm also. Der Staat wird machtlos. Was hat Kanta in seiner Rede Ferner vorgeschlagen? Ganz einfach. Dies kann einfach dadurch geschehen, dass die verwendelten Schlüsse sicher hinterlegt werden, bei einem staatlichen, bei einer staatlichen Stelle. Durch die Kombination von organisatorischem, personellen, technischen und juristischem Maßnahmen kann jedem Verdacht einer Missbrauchsmöglichkeit gegeben, begegnen werden. Es geht nicht um Abhöhrmöglichkeiten, hat er gesagt, sondern wir müssen die Überwachungsmöglichkeiten haben. Und der anständige Bürger gibt seinen Schlüssel ab. Kanta blieb damals nicht lange im Amt, sondern wurde gleich im nächsten Jahr durch einen FDP-Mann ersetzt. Er selber war ja CSU und CDU, von denen nominiert und der FDP-Mann war Günter Rexroth, ein sehr wirtschaftsfreundlicher Mann, der im Wirtschaftsministerium ganz klar sagte, wir brauchen starke Krypto. Ach, das habe ich vergessen. Genau. Kai Rohrbacher hat damals nach der Kantarrede eine Mailingliste aufgesetzt. Auf der haben sich eigentlich alle Leute sozusagen getroffen und haben auch gemailt, was sie so an Papieren haben. Da ist auch die Kantarrede erreichst. Und die Mailingliste hat schon einen zeitlichen Umbruch gehabt. Es kam junge Leute danach und die wussten nicht so richtig, was damit anzufangen. Deshalb steht da ja auch, was zum Geier ist eine Mailingliste und wie trägt man sich ein? Und über diese Mailingliste wurden die Sachen verbreitet und es brach großer Jubel aus, als Rexroth das hier sagte. Das bedeutet im Ergebnis, die amerikanischen Stellen wollen jeder Zeit Zugriff nehmen auf verschlüsselte Texte. Das gilt auch für traurige Daten ausländischer Nutzer. Das ist nicht akzeptabel. Die Sicherheitsprobleme können gelöst werden, denn die erforderlichen technischen Mittel, um sich zu schützen, etwa mit starken kryptografischen Verfahren, sind in Deutschland frei verfügbar. Bom, wir haben also Krypto als legales System, zur Gunst in der Wirtschaft natürlich, wie er das formuliert, aber eben auch für den einzelnen Anwender. Das war 1998 eine Rede. 1999 stellte dann die Bundesregierung offiziell vor die Eckpunkte der deutschen Kryptopolitik. Das ist jetzt ein etwas unscharfes Foto von mir, weil diese komischen Eckpunkte der deutschen Kryptopolitik sind kaum noch im Netz zu finden. Jedenfalls beim Bundeswirtschaftsministerium läuft man ins Leere. Auf der Homepage von Kairaven, die er ja auch schon uralte ist und sonst was, da steht die letzte mögliche Fassung dieser Eckpunkte und die hat er auch eingefroren und die bleibt da. Warum ich das erzähle, ist deswegen wichtig, weil genau auf dem letzten Camp hat Netzpolitik.org ja eine Anfrage an die Bundesregierung gestellt. Wie sieht es denn aus mit Krypto? Die Antwort. Das Bundesinnenministerium schickt ihr das. 2015 an Netzpolitik. Die Eckpunkte der deutschen Kryptopolitik von 1999 haben immer noch Bestand. Starke Kryptografie ist bei uns erlaubt. Und damit übergebe ich wieder mal zu Eric. Oliver hat gesagt, wir sollen anzahlen. Ja, das war es. Das war das Wassernah Arrangement. Hier ist noch ein Bild dazu. Und wir fangen mal so an. Ich habe das Wasser nach Office. Das ist das Office, in dem Krypto als Geisel gehalten wurde. Also stark. Das war das Office, in dem die Exportverbote festgelegt wurden. Ein Nachfolger der Kokom-Sanktionen gegen Russland. Also man kann keine Computer exportieren durfte nach Russland. Gibt es heute noch? Und da gibt es eben die Munitions List. Also sozusagen waffentaugliches Material. Und da stand drauf Kryptografie. Und wir sind natürlich dagegen Sturm gelaufen. Und ich bin dann, ich habe dort, ich grober Internet, lieber die Campaign, dann habe ich gesehen, das Wasser nach Office ist in Wien. Es ist hinter dem Hotel Bristol. Das ist ein Nobelhotel direkt am Ringen, neben der Staatsoper. Das Wasser nach Office ist auf der Rückseite. Mein Bruder hat sich damals sehr mit Geheimdiensten beschäftigt. Er kannte die Geschichte. Er hat gesagt, das war der Sitz des britischen Militärgeheimdienstes nach dem Krieg während der Besatzung. Und dann habe ich mir gedacht, nach Schau mal, da müsste ich doch reinkommen. Und die Kanadier und Makrottenberg kannten da irgendwelche zwei Typen von, von, die diese Wasser nach Empfehlungen, also Bürokraten, die das umgesetzt haben. Und ich habe dort angerufen, habe gesagt, ich bin Reporter. Ich habe nachgesehen, es hat 1996 eine einzige Meldung gegeben, eine Aussendung, dass dieses Office in Wien eröffnet wird. Und dann war es aus. Dann war es aus. Niemand hat davon Kenntnis gehabt hier. Und ich habe, ich habe dann gefragt bei den anderen, kennt ihr da wen drinnen? Ja, haben die gesagt, einer, der ist von der Telekomindustrie, der ist so Kanada, vom Regulator ist Keinsbuch. Das sind ein Treffer von Militärgeheimdienstlern. Und der ist Keinsbuch. Dann habe ich dort angerufen, Erik Meuchelmurvet, damals Gorbet Telepolis, habe ich 8 und 9, der war ich noch Telepolis, noch nicht Futurezone. Und habe dort angerufen, Reporter, Dings, ich möchte mal zu Ihnen kommen. Wir möchten uns das ansehen, weil die Leute können sich darunter nichts vorstellen und da kursieren Gerüchte. Und das könnte mir dann gleich richtig stellen. Dann haben die gesagt, komm an, soet. Dann bin ich hingekommen, haben wir das angeschaut und seitdem weiß ich, wie die Architektur dort ist. Und das ist wirklich stimmt. Die kommen alle, die wohnen im Bristle und kommen durch den Gang, im Haus rüber ins anschließende Haus. Die Tür unten, wer kaum benutzt. Dann gibt es noch eine Tiefgarage daneben, da haben sie eine eigene Etage mit eigener Security und dann kommst du nur in den Lift mit Garz drauf. Und jetzt zeige ich euch, wie es dort wieder, wie das auszieht. Das war das Office, in dem Kryptografie gefangen gehalten wurde. Das ist die Eingangstür. Malerstraße 14. Auf dieser Seite hier ist die Wiener Staatsoper. Also es ist Zentrum, Zentrum. Und das ist das Klingelschild. Unten ist das Konsulat von Afghanistan. Und das Wassener Office findet man hier nirgends. Das ist nämlich Top 7 und Top 8. Heute noch. Das war 1998 und 1990 genau noch dasselbe. Ich war da drinnen, bin dann wieder raus und habe ein kleiner Titel geschrieben, Wassener und der Plan dann noch. Und dann hatte ich einen Vortrag zum Thema in Frankfurt bei der Böllstiftung. Und bei dieser Veranstaltung habe ich Wau kennengelernt. Und wir sind versagt bis drei in der Früh. Wir haben über Kurzwelle geredet und gestritten. Ich habe gesagt, die Funkamoteure sind Arschlöcher und ich habe gesagt, na na, nicht alle und da gibt es schon so Staatshörige. Habe ich erzählt, wie ich die Prüfung nicht machen durfte, 1977, weil ich illegale Sachen interceptet habe. Die haben mich nicht antreten lassen deswegen. Na, denkst, nächster Tag Heimflug. Ich habe so einen Kopf gehabt, bin ins Flugzeug, hinten auf die Raucher sitze, setz mich rein, ging über von der Kombüse. Kommt Last Minute, eine Montengel, geredete Dame daher mit Business-Kostüm und Louis Vuitton-Taschen, wackelt daher am Patsch, sitzt nicht mehr. Und dachte, das tut die auf die Raucher sitze. Rett ich mich an und erklär mir, warum sie eigentlich hier sitzen muss, weil sie Medizin braucht und die muss gekühlt werden. Und deswegen sitze ich in der Küche. Ja, eh recht, ja, und sei gut. Und da hat sie mir noch erklärt und außerdem hätte sie gerne eine Zigarette. Einmal sagt, was will die von mir? Habe ich eine Zigarette geben? Und der hat die, der hat die geraucht und ich habe gesehen, das ist keine Raucherin. Und dann hat es nicht sehr lange gedauert, sind wir ins Gespräch gekommen. Und ich habe sie gefragt, warum sie jetzt danach Wien fliegt und sie sagt, sie fährt zu einer Sitzung, die sie zu leiten hat, im Wasser nach Office. Wisst ihr, was ich gemacht habe? Ich war natürlich schon etwas überrascht. Und das ist ein gutes Rezept, das sage ich euch, wenn ihr so angesprochen angesprochen werdet. Ich habe der im Verlauf der Kommunikation eine ungeheuer brutale Geschichte aus meinem Privatleben erzählt, bei der ich eine ganz schlechte Figur gemacht habe. Und dann war sie erschreckt. Das war das nämlich. Ich habe das instinktiv gemacht. Und das war die Frau. Ich habe das nicht sagen gedraht zu dieser Zeit, weil alle über meine Berichterstattung sagten, die keine Ahnung hatten. Der ist ja paranoid und das sind ja Verschwörungstheorien und sonst was. Und wenn ich dann auch noch erzähle, dass ich war noch mal im Wasser nach Office, diesmal war Paris Steinhardt von der Elektronik von Tierfoundation dabei. Wir waren noch mal dort und ich habe die zwei Leute gefragt, die da waren. Der eine war vom BND, der hat nur übel genommen, wenn er mich gesehen hat. Der andere war ein freundlicher Kanadier. So ausgegangen habe ich gesagt, sagen Sie, kennen Sie eine Luisa Maria Colón, der aus Puerto Rico ist, haben sich die zwei so angesehen und haben gesagt, jetzt ja, wir kennen eine Luisa, die ist vom Städtepartner nicht. Habe ich gesagt, weil die im Flugzeug neben mir gesessen ist und mich angesprochen hat. Hat der Kanadier gesagt, were you surprised by the directness of the approach und hat fein gelächelt. Ich übergehe, wer am Detlef. 1999 gab es eine Konferenz des Global Internet Projekts. Ich habe dazu jetzt nichts mehr im Netz gefunden. Das ist die Konferenzmappe. Netscape war der Hauptsponsor. Alle großen Kryptografen wie Wittfield, Diffie, Elgar, Mal und waren alle da vertreten, wie man hier auf den Ausschnitt das Erteilnehmerliste sehen kann. Auch der Baker war da, mit dem du dich immer gefetzt hast. Und es wurde über Kryptografie und Key Escrow geredet. Die Amerikaner wollten also jetzt ein Key Escrow Verfahren einführen. Das war eine private Konferenz im House of Lords in London. Und zwar ist Fotografierverbot. Deswegen konnte ich ohne Blitz habe ich mal versucht, das zu fotografieren. Denn die OECD Richtlinien, die waren jetzt auf einmal, weil Erik hatte sie ja veröffentlicht. Jetzt hat sie jeder Konferenz Teilnehmer gekriegt, da sei. Und die sollten dann diskutiert werden. Also jedes Land hat da eine Stellungnahme zu abgegeben. Für Deutschland war das Ulrich Sandel vom Bundeswirtschaftsministerium. Der hat klar die Position von Rexrod vertreten und hat gesagt, starke Kryptografie gibt's bei uns. Wir machen kein Key Escrow. Der OECD-Vorsitzende, der diese Paper zusammengestellt hat, hielt dann den Vortrag. Und ein Sprecher des britischen Kommunikationsministeriums versuchte Key Escrow zu erklären, dass das eine bürgerfreundliche Technologie ist, die man doch schön ausrollen kann. Also ich habe von dieser Konferenz eigentlich nicht berichten, er durfte nicht fotografieren, aber ich durfte drüber schreiben. In dem Sinne natürlich, dass wir als Journalisten dieses Key Escrow-Verfahren den Bürger nahebringen wollen. Und damit, denke ich, gebe ich jetzt einen ganz anderen Schritt weiter an Erik. Du hast noch einen Slide. Ja, das ist die kleine Geschichte, wie ich 2001 im Europien Telekom Standards-Institut Persona non grata wurde. Ich hatte zuerst die Infobol-Papiere bei Telepolis veröffentlicht, das haben dann andere weitergespielt, und die Infobol-Papiere waren nichts als die Anforderung der Cops und der Spooks an die Telecoms, wie das gemacht wäre, muss, dass sie eben mitschneiden können. Und das landete dann im Europien Telekom Standards-Institut und da gab es die Arbeitsgruppe, die sie Security, ja, Security. Sie haben es nicht einmal lawful Interception damals genannt, am Anfang. Und dann habe ich da gesehen, dass da laut der Leute drinnen sind, die angeblich zur Industrie gehören, die aber Geheimnispositionen vertreten haben. Ganz eindeutig gegen die Interessen der Industrie. Und der wichtigste davon war der Vorsitzende Robin Geb. Ich habe mir gedacht, das gibt es nicht, dass der von einer Telekom ist und formuliert auch das noch überwachen und auch das noch überwachen. Die waren alle verdeckt drinnen und keiner hat zugegeben, wo er herkommt. Die waren alle Wirtschaftsministerium, Regulator oder sonst was. Oder von einem Privatfirma. Und die gesamte Gruppe war so aufgebaut. Da saßen viele drinnen und die waren alle nicht das, was sie vorgaben zu sein. Jetzt habe ich einfach ihre Namen veröffentlicht. Das war dann ein Vierteiler in der CT, hieß die EZI Dosiers. Und da habe ich alle Namen knallhart reingeschrieben. Und ich hatte damals eine ganz gute Quelle, weil ein gewisses Telekom Unternehmen hatte kein Interesse an den EZI Schnittstellen, weil sie andere hatten und ihr Netz nicht umbauen wollten. Und sagen wir, da gab es etwas Support. Und ich habe das immer alles veröffentlicht und dann haben sich die aufgeregt. Das war so. Ich habe es natürlich provoziert. Ich habe die Namen von denen genommen und gesagt, Hört Leute, habe geschrieben, Hört Leute, diese kennt jemand diese Namen. Ich werde demnächst nicht öffentliche Dokumente veröffentlichen. Und wer mir sachdienliche Hinweise liefern kann auf diese Leute, kriegt Einblick. Schrieb mir ein Typ von der BBC zurück, der traf an, der hat gesagt, ich habe mit denen studiert. Wir waren immer schon staatsnahe und der und der und der und der wusste ich. Zack habe ich ihm die Dokumente gegeben. Konferenz Crambling for Safety in London 2000. Erster Redner Rosendersen, zweiter ich. Ross über Krypto, ich über die. Und dann, wie ich reingang, bin, hab mir schon der Brit, der Journalist gesagt, aufpassen, deine Freunde sind hier. Die saßen zu fünft oben auf der Galerie und nahmen Übel. Und waren total auffällig, dass sie zusammengehören und sonst was. Und dann hat es eben habe ich den nächsten Schubpapiere gekriegt und habe mit entzückend festgestellt, dass ein vierseitiges Dossier über mich dabei ist. Und da steht natürlich das Dokument des Not to be made publicly available. Habe ich natürlich sofort genommen und auf Krypto aufgehauen. So. Und da haben sie dann in die Streisandfalle gelaufen. Da haben sie in dem Artikel, also in dem Pamphlet haben sie alle Namen schön ausgeschrieben von denen, die ich gemeinerweise veröffentlicht habe. Nö, Dokument genommen, gleich wieder auf Krypto, was zweimal veröffentlicht. Hatten sie ihre Namen selbst hinauf. Und dann wurde uns vorgeworfen, wurde mir vorgeworfen, ich würde harassment betreiben. Alter, da sind Spuks da drinnen, die unter falscher ID arbeiten und ich blasse die Namen raus und ich jag ihnen Angst und Schrecken ein. Äh, ich jag nimmer Angst und Schrecken ein. Es war einfach lächerlich. Und dann sind sie draufgekommen, dass das doch nicht alles unpopulizierte Dokumente sind, sondern dass haufenweise interne Dokumente auf Krypto gelandet sind, die sie noch gar nicht gesehen hatten. Und dann waren sie erst richtig sauer. Und dann wollten sie mir mit Copyrighte ans Leder. Und irgendwann sind diese Depen draufgekommen, dass sie in einem Standard, Standardisierung sind sie stut, an offenen Standards arbeiten und dass jeder vorher unterschreiben muss, dass er nicht die Copyright Interessen seiner Firma vertritt. Die hatten Interesse an offenen Standards, ich sehe klar, sonst kann das Netz nicht weit wachsen. Und dann sind sie draufgekommen, dass das mit Copyright dann doch nicht so genau geht. Und ab da irgendwie war irgendwie alles aus, weil die wollten mich dann irgendwie überhaupt nicht haben und ich verstehe es. Und deswegen habe ich Ihnen zur Freude gestern auch noch den 5G Überwachungsvortrag, die dieselben Leute, da sitzt noch welche drin und von damals auch gemacht haben. Und ich sage, es ist ein kleiner Service auch an die Leute selber, damit sie sehen, was wir denn scheiße machen. Zum Schluss haben wir uns überlegt, dass wir etwas erzählen und ganz die Vergangenheit zurück springen, wo wir das erste Mal mit der Technologie überhaupt konfrontiert wurden. Ich habe also, als ich mal ein Studium abgeschlossen habe, bin ich zu einem Institut nach Banjole bei Paris gewechselt. Da haben wir solche komischen Bänder rausgegeben, Kommunikation und Klassenkampf und es ist International Mass Media Research Center. Großer Name, aber ziemlich kleine Klitsche. Amon Matelar und Z Ziegelau waren die beiden Vorstände dieses Instituts. Die sind da auch auf dem Kawa ausgeführt als die Herausgeber. Und jetzt komme ich zu dem Amon. Das ist ein faszinierender Kerl, mit dem hat man viel Spaß gehabt. Und er ist ein Belgier und er war unter Allende in Schiele Kultusminister. Und die ganze Diaspora der geflohene chilenischen Linken versammelte sich regelmäßig um ihn. Und da war ich auch dabei und habe dann einen Kerl kennengelernt. Der heißt Guy Bonn-Siepel, das war ein komischer Name, aber er impupte sich als Deutscher und zwar ein Designer aus Tübingen. Und mit Guy habe ich ganz lange über Kibernetik geredet, denn das war seine große Leidenschaft. Was hat er gemacht als Designer? Er hat diesen Raum entworfen, als Möbelraum. Das sollte die zentrale Computer gesteuertes Wirtschaftszentrale von Schiele sein. Und da sitzen dann sechs Weise in der Runde und sollten auf diesen Tasten bedienen. Und da also sozusagen zentrale Wirtschaftsproduktion, da werden die Stückzahlen festgesetzt und alle und die Produktionsergebnisse und das Ganze sollte dann über ein Computernetz im Land verteilt werden. Das hat er alles entwickelt. Die Ideen selber stammen von einem Kibernetiker namens Stafford Bier. Und so sah das dann aus. Die einzelnen Bildschirme, die hat jetzt im Mockup, aber da hat eben der Bonn-Siepel versucht, ein System zu schaffen für eine kibernetische Planwirtschaft. Und das ist faszinierend, dass sich damals so darüber lernen konnte. Das ist mein Einstieg gewesen. Das war ungefähr 82, 83. Und im MRC habe ich dann auch mein ersten Computer gekriegt. So. Danke, Detlef. Kann schon drücken. 2000 hatte ich Besuch von Niki Haga aus Neiseeland. Ist echt der bekannt. Der hat 1996 die Echelon, den Echelon-Skandal ins Laufen gebracht, indem er das gesamte Netzwerk reingeniert hat. Ausgehend von der Y-Hop bei Echelon Station und hat ganz einfach entlang des Equators die Kommunikations-Satelliten gesucht und hat dann gesagt, es muss eine auf Ascension Island sein und eine auf Madeira. Weil sonst kriegst du den nicht. Der, das hat die Untersuchung im EU-Parlament ausgelöst, 2000. Und der kam zu mir. Er heißt nämlich Niki Haga, sondern er heißt Niki Haga und sein Vater war Wiener bis 1938. Und der Sohn kam dann zurück. Und ich kannte den natürlich von den Mailing-Listen und habe gesagt, komm zu mir, kannst bei mir wohnen. Am Land habe ich großes Haus, wohnen immer Leute. Und er kommt mit seiner Tochter zu mir, wir reden über Gott und die Welt. Ich gebe ihm Dietsidokumente, weil die haben mich interessiert. Er habe wieder Sachen erzählt, die ich nicht wusste. Und dann sagt er, hast du und dann haben wir über Kurzwelle geredet. Ganz zufällig, so wie mit Wau damals. Und hat gesagt, hab ich gesagt, ja, ich hab da allerhand Telekom interceptet und die haben alle bestätigt. Also, ich habe Briefer zurückbekommen, weil die Ingenieure hatten dasselbe Hoppe und niemand wusste 1978, dass ich erst 16 war. Die glaubten nicht, wer ein Telekom-Ingenieur, wie sie auch. Und da zum Beispiel Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, die haben alles dazugeschrieben, welche Antennen, wie viel Leistung und zu welchen Zweck sie da gesendet haben. Oder die US Coast Guard hat mir auch ganz was nettes zurückgeschrieben. Oder das, das war meine, hat er gesagt, hast du was von Neuseeland auch dabei? Habe ich gesagt, ja, eins. Das war das Letzte, was ich, was ich dann gehört habe, weil ich war dann in einem anderen Ort, da gingen keine Antennen mehr. Und das ist ein handgetippter Brief von Kommunikationsingenieur. Der Naval Station Radio Iranji. Niki Hager hat zur Lachen begonnen. Er hat mir noch gut die Ex gewünscht. Das war der war von derselben Zunft wie wir. Und dann auch, glaubte ich, bin ein Telekom-Ingenieur. Dabei bin ich noch in die Schule gegangen. Und der Niki Hager zum Lachen angefangen und er gesagt, das gibt's nicht. Habe ich gesagt, was gibt's nicht? Hat er gesagt, Radio Iranji ist die Schwesterstation, da war ich haupt bei Edgelund Station. Und mir ist es kalt über den Rücken gelaufen. Danke. Danke. Ist okay. Ja. Vielen, vielen Dank, Erich und Etlef. Wir stehen zur Verfügung. Hakan Merzogian. Kalf Faber. Faber.

Blackstone Audio Presents Biopunk Solving Biotech's Biggest Problems in Kitchens and Garages By Marcus Wolson This book is read by Paul Michael Garcia To Rosemary Every orchid or rose is the work of a dedicated and skilled breeder Now imagine what will happen when the tools of genetic engineering become accessible to these people There will be do-it-yourself kits for gardeners who will use genetic engineering to breed new varieties of roses and orchids Also kits for lovers of pigeons and parrots and lizards and snakes to breed new varieties of pets Breeders of dogs and cats will have their kits too Domesticated biotechnology, once it gets into the hands of housewives and children Will give us an explosion of diversity of new living creatures Freeman Dyson, Our Biotech Future The New York Review of Books, July 19, 2007 The commission believes that unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency It is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013 The commission further believes that terrorists are more likely to be able to obtain and use a biological weapon than a nuclear weapon The commission believes that the US government needs to move more aggressively to limit the proliferation of biological weapons and reduce the prospect of a bioterror attack World at Risk The report of the commission on the prevention of WMD proliferation and terrorism, December 2008 Preface, bringing a child into the world is always taking a great measure of faith No matter when or where, parents have always had to believe that the future offered their kids something better, or at least not something worse Now is a weird time to have a child I wonder if parents ever had so many reasons to be pessimistic while at the same time feeling confident that their kids have a good chance at leading remarkable lives The promises and perils of technology weigh heavily on both sides of this emotional seesaw A few years ago the economist ran a cover story on some slightly obtuse advances in the scientific Sample complete, ready to continue?

Today I was sent a box of mystery products and more. What's up guys, we're back with another video and today we have a note. So this says, hey Rux, I hope you're doing well. I want to thank you for giving me the motivation to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh! and collecting, which led me to start my own YouTube channel. You've inspired me and so many others to join this fantastic community. Glad to hear it, that's awesome. I've thoroughly enjoyed your content and my favorite moment memory so far is your reaction to pulling the Starlight Stardust. Please be the Stardust, come on. Ah! Slap! That was one of the best ever on the channel for sure. I was so hyped up for you, LOL. Inside this box, you'll find some awesome pack for you to open and some extra stuff to add to your already amazing giveaways. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to open this product and I wish you the best of luck. Bacanumoth Rules. Come check out my YouTube channel at CardbreakerGT, your friend GT. So go check him out guys, if you guys would like to see his content, and shout him out in the comments for sending this. So before we get into the product, this looks like an amazing giveaway. I think that's what he was speaking of here. So let's see what this is. It is for you and for giveaway. This looks like an ultimate rare, so that's a good sign. Okay, so the giveaway. Looks like a Karakuri Ultimate Rare, very nice. Then we have a Yellow Baboon Ultimate Rare, Dark Magician Ultimate Rare, that's sick. Card of Sanctity and Tribute to the Doom from Metal Raiders. You can win all five of these cards later. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, and let CardbreakerGT know down below that you appreciate him sending this in. Then I have a For You, it's like TikTok. Oh no, I'm just kidding. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Speaking of TikTok, go check out my TikTok, it's called Ruxen34, all right. Let's go, let's see what we got. We got, dun, dun, dun, dun. Literally a Pakenio Moth. So we're not messing around with no petite moth. This is first edition, this is Pakenio Moth. This is the legend himself. Check that out. The original, the OG, that's pretty exciting. Then we of course have Portuguese Metal Raiders. We definitely are saving this one for the end so we can pull the Pakenio Moth. All right guys, so we have multiple products here. We're gonna start off with the Power Cube because it's probably the worst one. I can't open this thing. Let's see what's inside this mystery power cube. So inside we have the Blue Eyes, White Dragon Pack. Very nice. Then we have Dimension of Chaos, that's pretty sick. And a Stardust Overdrive, talk about an Epic Cube. Whoa, okay, that's some really good packs. And then of course we have our 50-ish cards with our amazing rares inside that are definitely gonna be foils and ash blossoms and stuff like that. All right, Cube, what did you bless us with this time? Keeper of Dragon Magic, the Dwarf, the Black Luster, the True King, the Starlight. Okay, it's a bunch of rares and most of them are from Toon Chaos which is just basically means they're comments. Is there anything good in here? Sea Stealth Attack, S-Force, Steel Star, we got the War Rock. Let me know in the comments if you guys like these kind of videos opening the mystery products because we'll be doing more of them if you do. Not the best in terms of the bulk there but the packs were actually really, really good. So let's see what we can pull. I guess we start with Dimension of Chaos. These are all really good packs. Hopefully we can pull something good for Cardbreaker GT. Let's go with the Greatest Split Super Rush Headlong. Ooh, and an Ultra Rare, Magispector, Tornado. Very, very nice. We will take an Ultra Rare. That is not bad at all. So a good start to this opening. That is for sure. So DD Wave King, Death Spot, and Gradle Impact. Now let's go into the start of Soverev Drive. Let's see what we can pull. We still have L-O-B too. So an Ultra Rare, that is a good start. Can we pull something crazy out of here like a Ghost Rare? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's do the pack trick. We didn't do it last time. Let's see, we got the Reptiliate Silo. The Appoiner of the Red Lotus. This used to be a $20 common. Unfortunately, not anymore. It got reprinted. Earthbound Wave. The Regulus, very cool. That reminds me of Aslan from Narnia. We got the Injury, not Injury, Energy Bravery. Different Ritual of Grace. We got the Wolf and Sheep's Clothing. Mother's Spider, and I think that might be at the Spider Web. No! Final pack from the Mystery Cube. Legend of Blue Eyes, White Dragon. Here we go, Dissolve Rock. We got the Dark Energy. The Fiend Reflection Number Two. Violet Crystal. Laser Cannon Armor. Turtle T-Grey. Madruling Lazard. Cherubin the Fire Knights. And the King Fog. All right, on to a product that I have not opened in a very long time. Dual Overload. I opened so many of these boxes when this came out. This is like one of the first sets I opened. A lot of open five cases of it. I literally was the first set that I did more than one case. So this is the beginning of a monster that you know now. Oh my goodness, I totally forgot about these. The giant cards in this product were the worst. I still have so many open. There's like no way to really sell them. I mean, they look pretty cool though. I'll give them that. But it's like, I had like 500 of these. It was insane. Okay, on to the next, or on to the pack. We got Cybernetic Overflow. I have so many of these cards still because I didn't sell all of them because there were so many. Last word, that's a pretty good card. The Armile. That's supposed to be the big card. I don't remember if that's actually worth anything. And Bloom. We have the Deck Lockdown, baby. Deck Lockdown. Relinquished Animal. There it is. Very nice. The Fright for Nightmare and the S'more. That's a pretty cool card. I don't think it's worth too much anymore. Definitely got, I think you got a brother's reprint, right? Brothers of Legend, but this is the original printing. Last word is a pretty good card. Still like a buck or something. Five of the Link Dragon. This was good when it came out. Whitemare and the Cubic Dharma. I still have a ton of Whitemares because I was like, oh, these are gonna go up. They didn't. They definitely didn't. All right, we got the Cubic Extension. The Compulsory Evacuation Device for the 50th time. The Extra Hero Infernal Devicer. Okay, Double Evolution Build. This is a good card. The Dino Deck is crazy. I mean, it's not as good anymore, but it was crazy. Hog of Fibrex. Probably not as good of a pull anymore. It was 80 bucks out of this set. Then he got reprinted. So it's probably way, way less now at this point. Giga Plant, because it's the same rarity as the reprint. Synchro, Transcend, and the Molific Tomb. And finally, Dual Overload. The Six-Pack. Don't worry, we have another box of this, by the way. So we'll get to see a little bit more. Terraforming Good Card, number 27. Dean Gearsuit. That's a good pull. We will take that. Salamangri, Almirage. Just a really good, just a really good set. Zombie World, so many good cards in this set. Next, I think we go with the Monster Box. One of y'all's favorites and my favorites as well. So let's see if we can get probably the same packs as usual, which is not really a complaint, because they're usually pretty solid out of here. We are gonna start off by pulling out a Breakers of Shadow. Let's see what the Breakers of Shadow can do for us. Can it bless us with an epic pull? I don't know if it can, but I believe. I believe that it can. Super Every Samurai, the Aogon, these Ninja, the Draco Face Off. We got the Shiranui Smith. Blackwing, Hormatan, the Dust. Ooh, and an Ultra Rare, Nephthabis, the Atlanian Prince, and a Super Every Samurai. So we got an Ultra Rare, Nephthabis. Okay, very cool. Another Ultra Rare. We've been looking for one of those. Let's see what the next pack can bless us with. Duelist Alliance is in here almost every time. We have yet to pull something crazy out of one of these. These Duelist Alliance. I'm waiting for it to happen. Let's just pull a really big card out of here. Should All Hedgehog at the Performapal Hippippo. How about an Ultimate Rare, what's her name? Should All Construct. The Agent, the Metaphist Armed Dragon, the Artifact Alansia, Performapal Turn Toad, Battleground Hauling, and that's about it. All right, next pack, Dark Saviors. Let's go. What do we want to pull? Foolish Beryl Goods, not a bad card. Curry Bandit. Okay, he's a bandit. We got the Kagaari, that's, I didn't realize that was in here. I should have realized it because the Sky Striker stuff. Area Zero and Vampires Domain. This is such a classic from Duelinks from a few years ago. That's the only reason I know that card. This has been interesting so far. Okay, wait, wait, stay in there, stay in there. We got a maximum crisis. Can we get the Ash Blossom? This card has been worth a lot. We've got the Phantom Knight of Wrong Magnet Ring. Wrong Magnet Ring, okay, weird. Okay, the Cobra, Spiral Assault, the Primal Cry, the Artifact of Vajra, the Ladybug, the True Draco Heritage. This used to be a nice card. Dynamist Howling is also a pretty good common. True Draco Heritage. Wow, so it's all Ultras today. That's it, just a bunch of Ultras. Oh, Fusion Enforcers. This will guarantee to have a Seeker Rare in it. So, yeah, not bad. Let's see what we can do. I think it might be at the front. Let's do that. Oh, and the Goat has been pulled. Alistair the Invoker, Super Rare. That's amazing. We'll take that. We'll take the Prisma, Fluffle Dog, Prada Plant Flytrap, I was right. It was at the front and a Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon. We pulled this like the last time we opened this as well. It feels like it comes out every night. Still some packs to go. Still some packs after this. So it's gonna be a little bit of a longer video. So hope you guys enjoy it. Oh, Legend of Blue Eyes yet again. Last time we didn't get anything, but this time we will. So this is gonna make it happen. Blue Eyes, White Dragon, One-Eyed Shield Dragon. Good sign, it's a dragon. Mystical Sheep, The Hard Armor, The Raised Body Heat. Immortia number two. Mammoth Graveyard, Living Arrow Guard, The Book of the Secret Arts, Gravedigger Ghoul, and the Metabat. Legend of Blue Eyes is letting us down this time. But don't worry. There are packs to go. Shining victories. Can we get the Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon? Rather than the Blue Eyes, White Dragon, let's get the Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon. So we've got the Gear Gear Change, Deskbot 009, World Careway Champion, Master of Thighs of Blue, Deskbot Base, Form of Pals, Shell Scale, Cell Shell, crap. There we go. Raid Raps are Ultimate Falcon. These used to be four or five bucks. It's now 10 cents. So unfortunately, no longer a good card. And the reason for that is reprints because the reprints really hit it hard. Let's see what we can do with Cybernetic Horizon. Can we pull Borel Sward? All right, I'm pretty sure I said Borel Sward was like the cover card at some point. I think it was in the every pack opening. People were like, what are you talking about? Not the cover card. Restoration, we got the Mini Borelo Dragon, the Hip Hoshingen Link Disciple, and the Divine Serpent, very nice. Hip Hoshingen, very cool, but not very good. Oh my gosh, double LOB packs. What? Double LOB packs? Does that mean we're gonna get something good? And speaking of good, PSA return coming soon, guys. And I'm not gonna spoil anything except for the fact we got two upcharges. So that's a good sign. That means we're probably gonna get something good out of that return. But the Angel, we got the Kagamusha, hard armor. Then warrior number two, the Mammoth Graveyard, Book of Secret Arts, Dragon of the Wicked Knight, and Metabat again. Why do you do this Metabat? I'm angry at you. All right, all right, let's see. Fine, oh, is this the final pack? Flames of Destruction. There's usually one more. Every time I think it's the final pack in these boxes, they really like hide down there. We've got the Trickstar. Can we get it called by the grave? It's just a common, that's all we want. Look, a background dragon. Whoa, ooh, he's in the background. How scary, isn't that kind of a weird name? Defrag Dragon, these are some weird names, okay. Goki the Master Ogre, that's not it. There's, where's the call it by? It's a common, I can't pull it. Two more boxes. One of them being dual overload. Let's pull something amazing. Back to the overload. We shall overload you with the duel. Duh-duh-duh-duh, let's go. An Enma's Judge, terraforming. Graveyard of the Wandering Souls. Swapfrog. Indeed-de-dee Abhis-ging Gilgamesh. Medikoo. Very cool, but now we're looking for, was Christian Haka Fyrex the biggest card of the set? Oh, look, it's the guy from One Piece. Reptilian Akidna. Oh, and there it is, the Christian Haka Fyrex. King Dragoon. If we had just opened this like a month ago, this card would be $80. Unfortunately, it's probably like 10 bucks now, because I think the reprint was like around seven. Very good card still. I think that was like the main card that you wanted out of the set when it came out, so I don't know if there's anything really like big money out of here. Dual overload, like, not really sure. All right, three more packs of this. Let's go. Let's see what we got. Can we pull some good? We got the Speedroid. Deck Lockdown, baby. Okay, Yuki-Ona. All right, magical formula. Magic formula, I think, I don't think I sold a single one of those. I still have like 80 copies of that. I don't know why I didn't sell those. I just didn't. Okay, Firebrand with the Raid Raptor. Oh, and Phantasme, this is a good card. That's probably still worth a little bit. I don't think Phantasme is as popular right now, but that's still a pretty nice one. And the final pack. This is definitely a better mini box for sure than the other one that we opened earlier. Let's see what we can do. Blackwing Zephyrus the Elite, Malefic Selector, and Armyle the Starleader Dragon with another Zephyrus. That's weird. Oh, this card's pretty good, too. Okay, nice, nice, very nice. And our final item from Cardbreaker GT is a mystery box. Let's see what we can pull. All right, we have seen many of these, and will it be Fist of the Gadgets? Okay, we're gonna start with the starter deck. Let's see. Ah, Mechanized Madness. Never seen this one before. But honestly, I can't complain about that because I literally made a deck out of those and it was pretty fun. So let's see what this one is. Oh, Hidden Summoners. We got a good one of these boxes because Hidden Summoners, if this is replacing Fist of the Gadgets, which is probably not, but Hidden Summoners is much better than Fist of the Gadgets. So let's see what we can get. Tatsunoko, Prank Kids, Hands of Nephthys. Oh, and a Prank Kids Doodle Doo with a Fusion Recycling Plant, very nice. All right, next pack. What will it be? Oh, it feels like there's nothing in here. This blister pack's taking up all the room. Whatever, we're gonna pull this out. Is this really our blister pack? Fist of the Gadgets. Why is this a blister? Come on. Why? All right, Figa here we come. How exciting. Let's see what we can pull. Fire Formation Yoku, The Tansu. All right, not very exciting. The Gorilla, okay. Is that the good one? No, Archfiend's Call and Talkback Lancer. Figa, what do you expect? Oh, Breakers of Shadow. Finally, something that's somewhat interesting. Let's see what this can do. Will we be able to pull something epic? Breakers of Shadow, what? Like Buster Blader stuff? It's very Samurai, Karma, Despot 008, Destruction Sword Flash, Wizard Buster, different. Got the Maddyspector Supercell and Toon Buster Blader. Very cool, but not cool enough. Come on, Mystery Box, come on. Give us something good. Ooh, a Fist of the Gadgets. Woo, Defconn, The Raster Liger, The Sinet Conflict, The Silver Gadget. Oh, an Elephant, this is actually like an $8 card. The one of the best cards in the set. We can't complain about it. I mean, it's not a good set at all, but we did get one of the better cards. And don't forget at the end, we have that Picanho Moth Chance on the Portuguese Pack. Ah, and it wouldn't be a Mystery Box without three Fists of the Gadgets. Wow, okay, that's exciting. It's not, it's not exciting at all. Let's see, we got the Leecher, we got the Shooting Code Talker, the Power Hold, the Moving Battery, and Boot Up Order General Force, or Gear Force, sorry. Yeah, it's Fist of the Gadgets. It doesn't matter if we say it right. Okay, Final Pack, it's a maximum crisis. That's it, it's not bad. I can't complain about that, don't worry, we have this. That's gonna save us. That's gonna give us something amazing. Let's get an Ash Blossom. That would be pretty epic way to end this. Magician's Right Hand, we got the Subterra Behemoth, we got the Bow, Bow, Boon, we got the Subterra Behemoth, we've got the Supreme King Dragon, BEF Zephalos, Phantasm Spiral Wave, and a Phantom Knights of Cursed Javelin with the DDD Stone King Darius. But don't you worry, we have a Portuguese Metal Raiders. Here we could pull Pakenya Moth, we could pull Gate Guardian, we could pull the Seven-Colored Fish right there with his seven colors, including the lips. Let's go, let's do the pack trick, let's pull something amazing. We've got Invader of the Throne, Jua-Gumo, we got the Golem Destroyer, the Destroyer Golem, I should say, Seven-Colored Fish. We've got the, oh, I don't remember that one. Skull Knight, very cool. And nope, Guardian of the Labrith. And, oh, fake trap that faked us out with the Musician King and no Pakenya Moth, but don't worry, we were gifted one. So everything will be fine.

too long. Okay. Alright. What we're looking at now, while we're continuing beam design, we've been looking at what choices we can make based on the bending loading and some of the shear stress load in terms of fairly regular type beams. So we've been mostly looking at wide-flange I-beams. They're so very common, but they're so very common as we've seen because they work well. They have a real high moment of inertia because there's a lot of area away from the neutral axis with those I-beams. So they've been good for that. Now we're going to look at the design of not necessarily beams, it's a type of beam and many of the same analysis techniques we've been using will work, but we'll look at the design of transmission shafts. We've done some problems when we looked at torsion and torsion loading is the main loading in transmission shafts, but we have been we have looked at some of these type of problems. So imagine being with or a shaft with several gears, gear take-offs on whatever it might be. This of course is an integral part of how and why your car works the way it does. So we need to pay attention to these type of things. And then imagine of course some some kind of support here. We'll take it to be just a journal bearing of some kind so that just just to keep this end from flopping around, but no moment support and no added torque there of any kind. That's just simple clean support that that we need to take into account. So we'll throw a couple loads on here just for the picture's sake. And these will be either transmission belts will be attached here, other gears will be attached, chains, whatever it is that we need to take the add the transmission to other places. All right, so that'll do for now. Notice that we are now operating in three dimensions. Illustrations say we'll take x down the length of the shaft as we've done before, y up and z out in that direction, or I can't hit the quarter system. So we can take the shaft itself and reduce those loads as given in the picture to something a little bit more useful to us in terms of the type of work we've done already. For example, we know at each one of these end bearings, there's going to be some kind of reaction support. So whatever direction that comes to be in and for reference sake, we'll call these the two end A and B, name them myself. So that's A in the z direction, A in the y direction. Journal bearings do not generally supply any normal, any axial type of support. So there'll be no x reaction and they don't generally supply any moment. They do of course in real life supply a little bit, but it's inconsequential to the things we need to look at. So there might also be some B, Z, and some BY reaction yet to be determined. But then these power, the transmission parts of those, we can change those into some load, some force directly on the beam, but then with an attendant moment caused by the size of the gear and whatever force is being applied there. We've done that kind of thing before. We learned back in statics that we can take a force at a distance, replace it with a force and an appropriately sized moment or vice versa. So again, the sense is right to match all the pictures. M2 is going to be just that force times the radius of the gear and so on for the other ones as well. And then 3, it looks something like that, P3, and then it'll cause a moment to do something like that. Of course the reason that's good is that puts all this into a picture of the type of thing we've handled before. We've handled these type of transverse loads that cause bending. So we can look at the loads that causes internally. We've looked at these torques that are parallel to the beam. Of course, right hand rule, whichever way puts the moment up and down the beam in the X direction. We've looked at the torsional loads that those kind of things cause. And so we can then analyze all this. So we'll take our first repeat at this, looking down something like this. There's the X direction. There's the Z direction. So we're looking right down the Y axis. When we look right down the Y axis, we see this load now looks just like that. Looking down the Y axis, we won't see P1. We won't see P2 because those are in the Y direction. So we'll see P3 out here and we'll see BZ at the end of the two reaction loads there. So then it looks very much like other types of loads that we've looked at. You can do the same thing looking down the Z axis. It's the Y axis there. AY reaction will show. We're looking right down the Z axis now at this. Now we'll see P1 and P2 wherever those happen to be and however big they happen to be. And we'll see B, we'll see BY not BZ. And again it looks very much like the type of loadings we've looked at before. Those will cause bending. Those loads, those transversals will cause moments that will cause bending and we can size the transmission shaft to handle the bending that goes on there. We also though have to look at the fact that there's torsion loads that are going to be in here. I haven't drawn those in yet. There are those moments caused there but we haven't drawn them in. So at any place along the beam we can have this kind of concern. So here's our beam with some internal cut made somewhere. We can do this anywhere we need to. Just imagine a cut to look at the internal loads. Because of the two dimensions in which these loads are going on we might see some moment in the Y direction. For example that would happen with maybe P3. It's going to cause some bending. That bending will be in the Y direction and so we'd see that sort of thing. From this other coordinate view where we're going to see bending in the other directions that'll be a Z moment of some kind. I don't know necessarily what direction they'll be. It depends on where the cut is and just what these forces are. But we could have this two dimensional nature to this bending. We've always looked at one direction of bending. Actually typically we looked at the Z direction because our forces were always in the Y direction. But we could also have this type of thing. But then we also have because of these different moments the possibility at any one spot of having torsion in a certain direction and of a certain size. That kind of complicates things. We've never looked at bending in two different directions at once. We've always looked at it in one direction only. So you'd think oh man we've got twice as much work to do. But we don't quite. Because what you can remember is these transmission shafts are always circular. So there is no preferential direction of the m and the z or the y of the z even the x direction though we typically put that down a length. So what we can do is just combine these two moments into a single moment and let that be our direction. Now we have a beam in single direction moment type bending the type of thing we've seen before. We just have to make our axes match that and we're okay. We can handle that type of thing. So we'll clean it up a little bit. Now just a single moment in some direction at any one spot and torsion of some size. And this of course varies anywhere along the beam. But we have all the skills we've had before to look at any of these pieces. So we know the maximum trouble from the things we've looked at before. The maximum trouble. The maximum, for example, a maximum normal stress is going to come wherever the moment is maximum. But wherever we're the farthest away from the neutral axis and the neutral axis is right through the center for a circular beam. So we know that that is going to be any spot perpendicular to the moment and at the outer skin. So in terms of the normal stress caused by the bending that's going to be our point of concern. We're perpendicular to the moment so that's where the effect is the greatest and we're at our distant sea away from the neutral axis which passes right through the center. So in terms of the moment that's where the things are going to be the worst. In terms of the shear stress from the torsion we know the same type of thing that has to do with whatever that the size of that torsion is. Also at the outer limit of the beam a distant sea away from the neutral axis or the center same thing. And then remember this is divided then by the polar moment of inertia. So for the way we've got it drawn with a moment going that way going to cause a bending such that we see a normal stress in that direction that's where it's going to be the biggest perpendicular in this load. But then we add in the fact let's see with this direction of torsion drawn we're going to see shear stresses in that direction. That looks very much like the type of stuff we just did with the transformed stresses. So we know that the combination of those two things is going to give a maximum shear stress and this was what we just saw as r the radius of Mohr's circle and that's going to be the square root of the normal stress divided by 2 squared plus the shear stresses we see at any one point squared. And that's those two things right here. And remember this changes at all places down the beam so we're going to have to look this is a concern but there are no new grid concepts in here. Everything that we've got in here is essentially essentially the techniques that we've used before. By the way if you need to this is equation 9.7 that promised to that point. Very well a couple things you notice the radius of the shaft is a constant anywhere down along the shaft. As we move different points m and t might change because the loads change at different spots. But the radius of the shaft is constant and of course the moments of inertia at a constant. And if you remember for a circular shaft the polar moment of inertia and the regular moment of inertia are related so those can all come out of the square root. At any one spot we've got m squared plus t squared squared and that will be our maximum shear stress then. And again it leads to a concern where we might have an allowable shear stress because of the material then a couple geometry constants because of the shaft itself. And that leads to the possibility that we need to look at the type of thing we just looked at sort of a section modulus type thing where this has to be less than I know greater than or equal to any one spot over any allowable shear stress for the material. And we need to design this for maximum loads possible. So we need to look at everywhere down the beam where the combination of bending moment and torsion because of the transmission on the shaft are the greatest or the smallest. Malibu be you get this just a sample from where we can run through some numbers. Don't let it scare you. So way down this time of year we'll have basically the same thing. We'll go through this type of analysis that we just did all the stuff we came back up in a way we can look at it. Alright some of the given details that aren't on there for this problem we'll add them in. The operating frequency is expected to be 480 rpm which is 8 hertz. Everybody knows what hertz is. What do we know what hertz done it is? Let's see only engineering joke there is so you got to enjoy it. It's all we got. For the rest of your career that's the only time you're going to laugh when you're working. Alright we have a motor delivering power of 30 kilowatts so I'll call that PM. That double P there is my symbol for power because we use P for forces a lot. And then of course that's the same power being delivered to that gear E because M and E are in the geared contact. We'll take off 20 kilowatts at the gear G so that's a power takeoff. Power is being delivered to the shaft at E taken off at G and H so obviously H has got to be the rest of that power takeoff of 10 kilowatts. Alright so that's the picture we've got there. Power coming in at M 30 kilowatts that's how much is delivered to E. Remember that we're going to need to use those powers plus the operating frequency to figure out what the torsion is. We did that before in section five and we'll give this because of the shaft material we have a shear stress limit of 50 mega pascals on this problem. I think that's all the pieces. Alright if you remember from section five three the power at any one spot in a rotating shaft is equal to 2 pi that's just a conversion from revolutions to radians and then times the frequency and then times the torsion. So for each one of these we need the torsion not the power applied at those points. So for example the torsion at point E is going to be the 30 and then you got to watch the units of course 30 kilowatts 2 pi 480 rpm or no we want one of the 8 hertz you know that would make sense for those units. Consider a current second unit between units it carries. So at E we've got then 597 newton meters remember a kilowatt is a newton meter second per second newton meter per second. So we get a torsion at E loading our we've got you see the way that motor's turning the way that hits the gear so at E we have a force in the y direction which will be the torsion is the force times the moment arm which is gear radius which is given and now we can then figure out the force E and happens to be in the y direction there and we know the torsion which we can now we just solve for for the force and what's the radius yeah the radius of the gear E is given as 160 millimeters point 73 kilowatts which is just what was already given so that's how we got that that's how we got 3.73 kilowatts all right so that needs to be done for the gear at M and at G and then with those forces you can then solve for the reactions so I'll give you all those pieces so we can get on to the rest of it let's see gear D is on the top so that's going to be a z direction load right about the middle D direction of the torsion it causes is going to be that direction and I'll give you all these values in a second and then C or G I guess it's the takeoff is G the wheel is C it's the same direction reduce this to the the torsion being applied and the forces all right so you need all of those now we've got T E and F E and F D applied at the middle gear or takeoff at the middle gear but in terms of the shaft it's applied torque and then we'll also need an F C so we can put these together and then of course each one of those leads to a reaction in the right direction already or yeah we'll meet those as well but those just come from summing the moments and forces on the beam itself just like we did with status got the picture do be okay i started a little bit bobby frank you're okay you don't have a power drink you're all right you need to go run and get one okay got it got it one of those pouches that delivers it intravenously and it's under your clothes that's a darn good idea right there hey you were at the pharmacy and helps why don't you design that as the project that's a great idea well yeah but no you could make them you could have to sell them down in the vending machines was that for logo you buy right there because you got to be a lot more fun than class than you have to be all right tc is 398 newton meters td 199 the attendant forces caused by the whatever they are belts or chains or whatever fc is 6.63 2.49 this lab with or this course this class was three hours long i'd like you to go but we just don't have the time all right so we also need a y y b nothing you couldn't do get all these this is all statics that we're going through so far a y az 6.22 sense there's a lot of force in the z direction so there's got to be a lot of reaction in the z direction looks like that makes some sense by 2.8 2.9 all of those just come from summing the moments and summing the forces to be zero on the shaft itself nothing more than we did in statics i think more than we did in statics all those months but we just never happened to do it in two dimensions it's kind of a two dimensional problem since the shaft is down the x direction then all the loads are in the all the forces are in the y the y and the z direction i know you're disappointed i didn't like you do all this booby if you sink any lower in the chair you're going to disappear all right got them all down because i need board space down actually i just keep going on the white walls i don't think they like it so you got all the details because now we have to need to put the analysis of all of this together so we'll look at it like this uh we look again down the down the z axis x is our shaft or shaft something like that there we know how long it is we've got all those dimensions but as we look down the z axis all the z forces in a sense disappear and we get a y which is kind of small 0.932 kilonewtons we've got at the other end b y 2.8 oh kilonewtons and then the only other y force we have i don't know the big drawing now that was uh the force fe is 3.7 and it's we know about where it is that's the power input force and it's 3.73 so we have something like that with uh what 0.6 meters on this side and then 0.2 meters over here so it's it's exactly like problems we've been doing um for a couple weeks now remember we need to find where the maximum points of concern are so let's see the shear stress almost uh two seconds we're so darn good at that right now because the shear stress leads us to the moment and it's the moment that causes the normal stresses causes the so we have a moment diagram looks something like that peaks out at 560 newton kilonewtons meters so uh you might think that's a point of concern but remember we've got to combine the moment with the torsion and we have to take into account there's another direction here we uh never taken a peak at yet and so now we can uh we can also see what the moment are the moment is for the two other gears in that direction the the the point at which the two other gears are so just by the geometry this point is 186 this point is 373 we need those because combined with the torsion and the moment in the other directions those might be the points of concern even though in this direction that's the greatest moment when we look at the other directions that might not be the entire picture so we can do the same type of thing in the z direction a z is 6.22 b z is 2.9 the other two forces are both in the z direction that was what uh c and d i guess c is 6.3 right about here give or take a little bit z is right there and then there is no f component or z component to the e force 2.40 yeah we have a picture very similar to type thing we've been doing in statics quickly draw the shear diagram from which we can really quickly get the moment diagram and then we can combine all of these things to find out where the concerns are the greatest shear diagram we've drawn this what's second here 6.22 up stays that way for a little while jumps down 6.63 so it goes just under the axis stays like that that jumps down 2.49 comes up 2.90 all that work we did with the shear moment diagram once pays off because now we can draw the the moment diagram very quickly area there gives us a change in moment up to 1244 so we can see that the moment that that spot in the other direction is much greater than we'd seen in the first direction we have a little bit of negative slope down to a certain point and then greater negative slope that drops all the rest of the way is zero that intermediate number happens to be 1160 which you can figure out just from the geometry and remember we have this third spot there was a third gear there that just didn't have any forces in that direction but we need to know what's going on right there that happens to be 58 so there's the moment in the two different directions circular shaft there is no preferred direction at least for the yz components so we put those together just like we we were looking oh we got to throw in the and the torsion part too there's our beam something like that torsion of in that direction in the other direction each right there so we can we can get each of those pieces kill a new meters start just new meters it's the combination of the torsion and the moment for each of these things this last one's 597 in the other direction so we can even draw ourselves version pot and then we can investigate what the combination of all these things is at each of these points all right this end just goes down to the journal bearing so it has no torque in it so we jump up to 398 go down to 199 jump up an additional and then we come down to 597 and then the other end is not a lot of force so we can go to each one of these spots and figure out what the critical moment is in all the different cross-section directions remember what we're what we're trying to find here is a j over c that's greater than or equal to trouble is that as up until now until we've got all this done we don't know where this upper component is a maximum at any component we don't know what the preferred direction is but we haven't met the y the z directions so it's really easy to calculate so for example we'll check what the total load is at this first point called c y squared plus m z squared all evaluated at point c are here being m in whatever the preferred direction was example at point c we know one of the moments in one direction is 186 and let's see this is all kilonewton is that kilonewton meters or newton meters think it might be newton meters yeah sorry it's newton meters newton meters squared and but then we're gonna screw it to undo it at point c in the other direction we have 1244 the torsion at that point is the 398 three of those we get a total load 319 newton meters that's the combined bending and the torsion where the two together are max or are the two together at that point c are about that kind of do it again at d to give us an idea where the greatest loads are what our biggest concern is so d is 373 squared plus 1160 squared plus 199 squared all screwed oh yeah sorry 597 because it's it's we don't take the minimum there we'll take the maximum there this is that has a value just on either side of it we do 560 580 and the 597 again because we're gonna remember we're looking for where the maximum concern is bro you come up with those real quick give you something to do take your look for something to do if you have md 705 1357 373 squared 1160 squared 597 squared and then at e so it appears that our concern is more around point d than anywhere else in fact if we look at this just a quick picture one c was 1319 wherever that falls d is a bit higher than that e is a bit lower than that and so we might suspect that it's uh something like that so we might suspect that the maximum is going to be somewhere in here if we were really designing this theme or we were trying to design it to the closest possible specs we need to find out what that was but we can build on a factor of safety and cover it all anyway so uh probably somewhere in there we're okay we'll just take the value at d to be the concern so we can then get a section modulus for the circular shaft now as the here's over the allowable shear stress i don't remember what that was 50 megapascals is that right and then from this we'll be able to get a radius for the shaft because the only variable parts in there is is the c yeah this is not the same m as there this is the uh the uh what is it called the uh oh sorry that's that's not yeah that's not m what was that that's that's the shear stress at those points j is it's one half Pisces the fourth and you got to get the units right on that thing to have that that would give us minutes of meters cube 27 point more and so you can solve for c then you know the radius the minimum radius of your beam of your circular shaft to withstand these ear lobes and since we were evaluating it at a point somewhere off a maximum we want to uh build them a factor of safety anyway which is always true got them on speed up and operators standing by but wait call now we'll include another transmission shaft free for shipping charges only how awesome is that for 38 minutes more i can't believe your phones aren't out on fire all right you finish that up you should get a shaft of uh something like 26 millimeters radius go a little bit bigger just to make sure throwing a factor of safety even though you get two shafts today for the price of one because i mean you want to have to trip the shaft out put in another one was that enough for you for one day do be being satan with that satisfied got your money's worth today pat just think the guy is at rpi paid seven times more for that than you just did i don't see why everybody thinks they're so smart all in all right you can reproduce it blindfolded one piece of what we're doing you should be looking at that saying oh yeah that's way too big for a test

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow legionnaires, it gives me a great personal pleasure to present to you a fellow veteran, a fellow legionnaire from the Great Department of California, and at Pacific Palisades Post Number 283, a man who shares our strong faith in the fundamental goodness and ability of this nation's people, the President of the United States. Mr. President, we look forward to your comments this morning as words are reassurance in these troubled times. We are happy you are here. But before you begin, there is an item of unfinished business, an honor overdue, that we would like to take care of. Your great responsibilities last August kept you from our convention in Chicago, where a special presentation was planned for you. Today, we are pleased to be able to take care of it. And I want to ask Mr. Jack W. Flint, the past National Commander, to join us and to make the presentation. Commander Flint. Will you please be seated. Mr. President, Commander Keller, thank you very much. And ladies and gentlemen, in May of 1982, it was my privilege to preside over a meeting to select the 1982 Distinguished Service Medal recipient. The American Legion can bestow no higher honor on a fellow American than this Distinguished Service Medal. And I assure you all that the care and the deliberation that goes into selecting the American to be so honored is considerable. Thus, it gives me immense personal satisfaction to see the medal at last bestowed on the man who so richly deserves it. For his untiring efforts and patriotic devotion in perpetuating American principles, for fostering a renewed spirit of volunteerism in America and for his consistently demonstrated courage and fortitude, thus commanding the respect of all Americans for the office of the presidency. Mr. President, for all that and more, I present to you the highest honor, the Distinguished Service Medal. Well, Commander Keller, honored guests and fellow Legionnaires, I thank you for that warm welcome and for the high honor that you bestowed on me. And let me also thank you for the recognition you've given to a distinguished veteran and outstanding legislative leader, my good friend, Bob Michael. I can't think of a more deserving recipient than Bob Michael for the Legion's Distinguished Public Service Award. I also deeply appreciate Commander Keller's recent telegram to me, committing the Legion's support for our government's efforts to achieve an accounting of our missing men. It is always a special pleasure and honor to address the National Convention of the Legion. Each meeting is more than a joyous reunion of old comrades from days gone by. It's a reminder of those who cannot be here, those who gave their last full measure of devotion so that we and our children could enjoy the blessings of freedom in peace. This 23rd annual meeting here in Washington, my second speech to a National Convention of the Legion is a suitable occasion for taking stock. Back in August of 1980 when you gathered in Boston, I asked for your help and the help of millions of other Americans to reverse a dangerous course America had drifted on for too long. I said then that together it was our duty to begin to choose a new road, a road to peace built upon a realistic understanding of our nation's strength and continuing faith in her values. America has chosen that new road and today I'd like to report on the progress we've made in the past two years in our quest for peace and freedom in an uncertain world. I know of no more appropriate forum than this convention for such a report. When Dwight Eisenhower addressed this body in 1954, he said to help keep America strong, to help keep her secure, to help guide her on the true path to peace, there is no group better qualified than you of the American Legion. In recent days I have received reports from four senior members of this administration who've returned from assignments that took them to the far corners of the globe. Vice President Bush was warmly received in Europe where he helped clear up many misconceptions about American policy. Secretary of State Schulz undertook an extensive tour of the Far East. Our Ambassador to the United Nations, Jean Kirkpatrick, has returned from a mission to South and Central America and my National Security Advisor Bill Clark reported back from conferences in Europe with our arms control negotiators, Paul Nizza and Ed Rowney. The reports of all these capable officials have given us a timely survey of the international scene. It's an encouraging one, making or marking substantial progress since that day in August of 1981 I asked for and received your help. The international situation then was truly alarming for all who cared about America and the cause of peace and freedom. Our country was the target for countless political and terrorist attacks all around the globe. In the view of many of our friends we had become an uncertain ally in the view of potential adversaries we'd become a dubious deterrent to aggression. Our position in the UN had eroded to one acceptable level and our strength as a world power according to every index moral, political, military, economic had deteriorated to such an extent that the enemies of democracy and international order felt they could take advantage of this weakness. The Soviets sent their Cuban mercenaries to Angola and Ethiopia used chemical weapons against innocent Laotians and Cambodians and invaded Afghanistan all with impunity. Perhaps the most degrading symbol of this dismal situation was the spectacle of Iranian terrorists seizing American hostages and humiliating them and our country for more than a year. How did all this happen? Well the answer is America had simply ceased to be a leader in the world. This was not the exclusive fault of any one leader or party and it will take a truly bipartisan effort to make things right again. For too long our foreign policy had been a pattern of reaction to crisis reaction to the political agendas of others reaction to the offensive actions of those hostile to freedom and democracy. We were forever competing on territory picked by our adversaries with the issues and timing all chosen by them and no one knows better than combat veterans that once you're on the defensive you can't go forward. The only movement left to you is retreat. Some of our opinion molders had ceased to believe that we were a force for good in the world. They were ashamed that America was wealthy and a world with so much poverty. They rarely have ever explained that America's wealth came not from exploitation or mere good luck but from the hard work of the American people from risk-taking by American investors from the creativity of American inventors and entrepreneurs and a free system of incentives. Too many of our leaders saw the Soviets as a mirror image of themselves if we would simply disarm the Soviets would do likewise. They spent all their time viewing the world the way they wished it was not the way it really is and that's no way to protect the peace. Their approach ignored the central focus of politics the minds, hearts, sympathies, fears, hopes and aspirations not of governments but of people. The 20th century has witnessed and America has led the way in the rising participation of all the people in international politics yet even in this age of mass communications too many of our leaders ignored this critical dimension. Too many of our policymakers had lost touch with changing world realities they failed to realize that to be an effective force for peace today America must successfully appeal to the sympathies of the world's people the global electorate. We can't simply be anti this and anti that. We can't simply react defensively to the political proposals of others sometimes criticizing them, sometimes accommodating them without positive alternative solutions to basic human problems. At bottom they ignored our responsibility to work for constructive change not simply to try to preserve the status quo. Fortunately the American people sense this dangerous drift and by 1980 a national reawakening was underway a reawakening that resulted in a new sense of responsibility a new sense of confidence in America and the universal principles and ideals in which our free system is based. It's not an arrogant demand that others adopt our ways it's a realistic belief in the relative and proven success of the American experiment what we see in America today in spite of the many economic hardships we're facing is a renewed faith in the rightness of our system that system has never failed us we have failed the system every time we forgot the fundamental principles upon which it was based for America to play its proper role in the world we had to set our own house in order our first and highest priority was to restore a sound economic base here at home we had to put an end to the inflationary spiral which had been scourging this country for years creating misery among those who have to survive unfixed incomes destroying long-term capital markets and mortgaging the future of our children and grandchildren then we had to lay the foundation for a recovery which would be based on sustainable growth without unleashing the inflationary monster again on ourselves and the world well we've achieved our first economic goal and we're well embarked on the second inflation which was in double digits in 1979 and 1980 was only 3.9% in 1982 and in the last quarter was down to an annualized rate of only 1.1% the other essential precondition of a strengthened and purposeful foreign policy was the rebuilding of our foundation of our military strength to be prepared for war, George Washington said is the most effectual means of preserving peace well it's precisely because we're committed to peace that we have a moral obligation to ensure America's defense credibility I realize that many well-meaning people deplore the expenditure of huge sums of money for military purposes at a time of economic hardship similar voices were heard in the 1930s when economic conditions were far worse than anything we're experiencing today but the result of heeding those voices then was a disastrous military imbalance that tempted the forces of tyranny and evil and plunged the world into a ruinous war possibly some of you remember drilling with wooden guns and doing maneuvers with cardboard tanks we must never repeat that experience now for two decades the Soviet Union has been engaged in building up the most powerful military forces in all man's history during this period the United States limited its own military spending that our investment in defense actually declined in real terms while Soviet investment was nearly double our own during the decade of the 70s neither our limiting or cancelling of important weapons systems nor the efforts of a decades worth of arms control agreements and negotiations have stopped or even slowed the Soviet leadership's pursuit of global military superiority well two years ago we began the long tough job of rebuilding America's defenses after those years of systematic underfunding and neglect and today we're on the verge of putting in place a defense program adequate to our security needs if we show the resolve to sustain the necessary levels of military spending and with your support and that of millions of other concerned citizens we can, we can restore balance and deterrence and we can better project the peace now let me address our foreign policy strategy some people have said we don't have one well one of the first things this administration did was what we believe the American people demanded of us namely to be realistic about the nature of the world and our adversaries and to speak the unadulterated truth about them making excuses for bad behavior only encourages bullies and invites aggression pursuing a policy of honesty, realism toward the Soviets doesn't mean the productive relations between our two nations are impossible what is required for such relations is restraint and reciprocity restraint must be demonstrated not only by words but by deeds we respect international law and the independence of other peoples the Soviets need only respond in kind fortunately America is far from alone in its quest for peaceful, prosperous and humane international order with us stand our friends and allies and particularly the democracies of Europe of Latin America, Asia and the Pacific withers in spirit also are millions of people in Poland and other Soviet dominated countries as well as in the Soviet empire itself I received a snapshot the other day that had been smuggled out of Poland and I was so proud it was smuggled out just for the purpose of delivering it to me it was a picture, little photograph snapshot of a tiny little girl and a small boy holding a cardboard sign on which was printed things in Polish and they sent the translation it said our father is sitting in prison for solidarity and the look of sorrow, the pathos and the little girl's face was the most touching thing you can imagine maintenance of our allied partnerships is a key to our foreign policy the bedrock of European security remains the NATO alliance NATO is not just a military alliance it's a voluntary political community of free men and women based on shared principles in a common history the ties that bind us to our European allies are not the brittle ties of expediency or the weighty shackles of compulsion they resemble what Abraham Lincoln called the mystic cords of memory uniting peoples who share a common vision so let there be no doubt on either side of the Atlantic the freedom and independence of America's allies remain as dear to us as our own the Soviet's fundamental foreign policy is to break the link that binds us to our NATO allies their growing nuclear threat to Europe especially since the mid-70s has a political as well as a military purpose the deliberate fostering of a sense of insecurity among the peoples of Western Europe and pressure for accommodation to the Soviet power the ultimate Soviet goal in Europe is to force the nations to accommodate themselves to Soviet interests on Soviet terms we should all know just what those terms are we need look no further than the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain the truth is something that we and our NATO allies must not hesitate to use to counter the slurs and threats made against us speaking the truth was one of the primary missions accomplished by Vice President Bush in his recent European trip he cleared the air of misinformation indeed of deliberate falsehoods he reaffirmed America's fundamental commitment to peace we're not in the business of imperialism, aggression or conquest we threaten no one Soviet leaders know full well there is no political constituency in the United States or anywhere in the West for aggressive military action against them Vice President Bush reaffirmed our commitment to serious mutual and verifiable arms reductions our proposal is a serious one and it represents real arms reduction not merely the ratification of existing levels of weaponry on both sides the Vice President also conveyed my willingness to meet anytime and anywhere with Mr. Andropov to sign an agreement that would eliminate an entire class of weapons from the face of the earth unity and a determination to face and speak the truth about the threat confronting us I have a deep personal commitment to achieving an arms reduction agreement at the negotiations in Geneva on intermediate-range nuclear forces we and our allies are in full agreement that the proposal that I have made for the complete elimination of the entire class of longer-range land-based INF missiles remains the best and most moral outcome we're negotiating in good faith in Geneva and ours is not a take it or leave it proposal our negotiations in Geneva are premised upon sound principles supported by all the allies after long and careful consultation these principles include the only basis on which a fair agreement can be reached is that of equality of rights and limits between the US and the Soviet Union as a corollary, British and French strategic systems are by definition not a part of these bilateral negotiations therefore not to be considered in them in addition, Soviet proposals which have the effect of shifting the threat from Europe to Asia cannot be considered reasonable and finally, as in all areas of arms control it will be essential that an eye on FD agreement be underwritten by effective measures for verification now we view these negotiations as offering the best hope of assuring peace and stability through the reduction of INF systems toward that end, Ambassador Nitzit has been instructed to explore in Geneva every proposed solution consistent with the principles to which the alliance subscribes any discussion of alliances, friends and concerns of the United States must give special attention to Asia the US-Japanese relationship remains the centerpiece of our Asian policy together the United States and Japan can make an enormous contribution to the economic dynamism and technological progress needed for economic growth and development throughout the world in Asia itself, we continue to strengthen our partnership in support of peace Prime Minister Nakasone and I affirmed our commitment to this partnership during his recent visit to Washington Secretary Shultz's visit to Tokyo underscored it our relationship with the People's Republic of China is another important one not only for stability and peace in Asia but around the globe during his visit to Beijing Secretary Shultz and many hours of frank and useful discussions with Chinese leaders the most important thing to emerge from these talks was that despite our differences it is clear that both sides value this relationship and are committed to improve it as we rebuild our relationship with China we will not forget our other friends in the area we are committed to maintaining our relationship with the people of Taiwan with whom we've had a long and honorable association our ties with the Republic of Korea remain strong as troops of our two nations jointly protect that divided land against threatened aggression from the north incidentally I must say Secretary Shultz went up to the dividing line the demilitarized zone and met with our troops up there some of whom were just going out on patrol for the night in that zone and he came back with such glowing stories of the morale and the esprit de corps of our men there and I've heard the same from the European theater we need have no concern about the will and determination of our sons around the world who are represented I wonder if I could take a second I didn't intend to do this and I've told it to some other people before but it's a letter I received from one of our ambassadors in Europe he had been up on the East German frontier visiting the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment and he spoke glowingly of them but in his letter he said that when he went to his helicopter he was followed by a 19 year old trooper who asked him if he thought he could get a message to me well being an ambassador he allowed us how he could and a kid stood there and then said Mr. Ambassador will you tell the President we're proud to be here and we ain't scared of nothing in Southeast Asia the association of Southeast Asian nations ASEAN as it's called is cooperating to improve the economic, cultural and educational growth of that region our country has strong mutual ties with ASEAN and its individual members and the answers packed with Australia and New Zealand is one of the most significant relationships we have in the world today but in many of the important regions of the world active conflicts take innocent lives study economic growth and block social progress the United States has a unique ability and responsibility to work for peace in these regions in the Middle East we're working to convince the peoples of the area that lasting peace and security can only come through direct negotiations not the use of armed force the secure and lasting peace for Israel and its Arab neighbors including a resolution of the Palestinian problem that satisfies the peoples legitimate rights is a fundamental objective of our foreign policy we've launched a new initiative designed to accelerate and broaden the negotiation process begun at Camp David that process fulfilled the principle of exchanging occupied territory for peace between Israel and Egypt today I repeat my call to the Arab world to accept the reality of Israel the reality that peace and justice are to be gained only through direct negotiation King Hussein should be supported in his effort to bring together a joint Jordanian-Palestinian team to negotiate the future of the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem we also continue to work for the total withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon so that country can once again be an independent sovereign state we call on Syria, the PLO and Israel to withdraw their forces from Lebanon in the shortest possible time a continued occupation of Lebanon by these forces can only serve the interests of those who wish to undermine the cause of peace this administration is prepared to take all necessary measures to guarantee the security of Israel's northern borders in the aftermath of complete withdrawal of the Israeli army the peace can only evolve through freely negotiated agreements not solutions imposed by force the world is going through a period of great economic instability one that poses significant dangers to world security we and our allies must demonstrate the political courage to cooperate in undertaking the necessary remedies particularly when these remedies require near-term sacrifices never has it been more true that we will all hang separately if we do not hang together a key element of our relationship with countries around the world is the economic link that unites us with trading partners I will not go into great detail today about the international economic and trade policies but one point I want to make is that it is and will be our policy to oppose protectionism at home and abroad and to foster the continued pattern of ever freer trade which has served the world so well and it must also be fair trade closely related to the trade and economic component of our foreign policy as our relationship with the developing world I am convinced that the time has come for this country and others to address the problems of the developing nations in a more forthright and less patronizing way the fact is that massive infusions of foreign aid have proven not only ineffective in stimulating economic development in the third world in many cases they've actually been counterproductive that kind of foreign aid is nothing more than welfare payments on a global scale and as just as ineffectual and degrading our economic assistance must be carefully targeted and must make maximum use of the energy and efforts of the private sector this philosophy has reflected in the Caribbean Basin Initiative I announced a year ago its goal is to combine trade aid and incentives for investment into a balanced arrangement that encourages self-help for the people of the Caribbean Basin again and again leaders of these countries have told me that they don't want a handout only help to improve their own lives by their own efforts an important part of such help is exposure to the effective management practices and economic thinking that contribute so much to successful development in the advanced economies like our own there is no more damaging misconception than the notion that capitalism is an economic system benefiting only the rich economic freedom is the world's mightiest engine for abundance and social justice in our own country it has created more wealth and distributed it more widely among our people than in any other society known to man developing countries need to be encouraged to experiment with a growing variety of arrangements profit sharing and expanded capital ownership that can bring economic betterment to their people of course economic problems are not the only ones that developing countries must contend with the volatile combination of poverty with social and political instability makes many of these countries national targets for subversion by the new colonialism of the totalitarian left when countries must divert their scarce resources from economic development in order to fight imported terrorism or guerrilla warfare economic progress is hard to come by security assistance therefore is an integral part of our aid policy with respect to Latin America and the developing world in general we face a special threat in Central America where our own national security is at risk Central America is too close to us and our strategic stake in the Caribbean sea lanes and the Panama Canal for us to ignore reality the specter of Marxist-Leninist controlled governments in Central America with ideological and political loyalties to Cuba and the Soviet Union poses a direct challenge to which we must respond poverty together with social and political instability make a volatile combination which the new colonialists of the totalitarian left are trying to exploit for their own cynical purposes the reaffirmation of democracy in Costa Rica in their elections of last year the transition from military rule to elected civilian government in Honduras and the launching of democracy in El Salvador with the successful elections last March prove that we're on the right course thanks to this progress Marxist revolution is no longer seen as the inevitable future of Central America democracy with free elections free labor unions freedom of religion and respect for the integrity of the individual is the clear choice of the overwhelming majority of Central Americans but economic reform needs time to work and democracy must be nurtured in countries where it doesn't have long traditions we must ensure that the governments of El Salvador and other Central American countries can defend themselves against the Marxist guerrillas and receive guns, training and money and Nicaragua the United States cannot and will not allow Marxist terrorism and subversion to prevail in Central America at the same time we will continue through our own efforts and through supporting efforts by other democracies of Latin America to explore all possibilities for reconciliation and peace in Central America but let me make it plain there we will never abandon our friends and we will never abandon our conviction that legitimate political power can be gained through competition at the ballot box in free, open and orderly elections Ambassador Kirkpatrick on her recent trip to Latin America engaged in extensive consultations with leaders of the region and assured them that we would pursue our common efforts to foster economic development assist with security concerns and strengthen the forces of freedom last June when I addressed the British Parliament I outlined the all embracing goal of our foreign policy I observed that Americans have a positive vision of the future of the world a realistic and idealistic vision we want to see a world that lives in peace and freedom under the consent of the governed so far however we and the other democracies haven't done a very good job of explaining democracy and free economy to emerging nations some people argue that any attempt to do that represents interference in the affairs of others an attempt to impose our way of life well it's nothing of the kind every nation has the right to determine its own destiny but to deny the democratic values and that they have any relevance to the developing world today or to the millions of people who are oppressed by communist domination is to reject the universal significance of the basic timeless credo that all men are created equal and that they're endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights people living today in Africa in Latin America and Central Asia possess the same inalienable right to choose their own governors and decide their own destiny as we do by wedding the timeless truths and values Americans have always cherished to the realities of today's world we have forged the beginnings of a fundamentally new direction in American foreign policy a policy based on the unashamed, unapologetic explaining of our own priceless free institutions and proof that they work and describing the social and economic progress they so uniquely foster history is not a darkening path twisting inevitably toward tyranny as the forces of totalitarianism would have us believe indeed the one clear pattern of existence, a pattern that's grown with each passing year of this century is in the opposite direction it is the growing determination of men and women of all races and conditions to gain control of their own destinies and to free themselves from arbitrary domination more than any other single force this is the driving aspiration that unites the human family today the burning desire to live unhindered in a world that respects the rights of individuals and nations I'll admit we're wrong when we have to put barbed wire up to keep our people from leaving this country nothing makes me prouder of the country that I served and the fact that once again America leads the vanguard of this movement so let's turn off and tune out on those voices which for too long would have us cringing under the weight of this complex it is America that has proposed the elimination of an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth that has called for a 50% reduction in intercontinental strategic missiles it is America that has helped end the siege of Beirut and is effectively working to broaden the Middle East peace process it is America that works closely with the American front line or the African front line states I should say for peace in Southern Africa and that worked tirelessly with both Britain and Argentina to seek a peaceful resolution of the conflict in the South Atlantic it is America that encourages the trend toward democracy in Latin America and elsewhere in the world and cooperates with the Muslim countries and all those who want an end to the brutal Soviet occupation of Afghanistan it is America that joins with other free peoples in calling for reconciliation and repression in Poland and yes it is America that leads the world in contributions to humanitarian and refugee programs and to assistance programs to help the less fortunate nations of the world isn't it time for us to reaffirm an undeniable truth that America remains the greatest force for peace anywhere in the world today for all the stress and strain of recent ordeals the United States is still a young nation a nation that draws renewed strength not only from its material abundance and economic might but from free ideals that are as vibrant today as they were more than two centuries ago when that small but gallant band we call our founding fathers pledged their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor to win freedom and independence my fellow legionnaires the American dream lives not only in the hearts and minds of our own countrymen but in the hearts and minds of millions of the world's people in both free and oppressed societies who look to us for leadership as long as that dream lives as long as we continue to defend it America has a future and all mankind has reason to hope thank you and God bless you thank you so much Mr. President American Legion is extremely proud that you were able to take the time to meet with us today the message that you have delivered to us expresses the positions in many cases of the American Legion and we're so very proud that we had this opportunity to listen to our Commander in Chief well those of you in the audience please remain in the room until our guest leaves the hotel thank you very much

At a time when doctors, scientists, researchers, healthcare experts across the globe are struggling to develop a vaccine, Baba Ramdev very confidently walked up to a stage and spoke about coronary which was loud, you know, widely reported as a cure for the much dreaded corona virus. Now it snowballed into a controversy, post which Patanjali was pulled up by the Ayush Ministry but exactly a week later he was told that he was allowed to sell the drug, the kid has an immunity booster if not a cure. Patanjali inadvertently ended up getting a lot of publicity for manufacturing an immunity booster and in the process it has managed to put the spotlight back on whether controversies really help in selling a brand. And to discuss that today on Creative Talks, we have some very well-known phrases from the industry. Let me start from the senior most, one of the most respected ad-makers in the country, Prahlad Kakar, who's also the founder of Genesis Films. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't remember Pepsi, nothing official about it and made by him. I think which is also your favourite Prahlad. No, no, but excuse me, I mean, what do you mean by respected? I mean, you know, nobody will believe anything that I say from now on. If you call me respected, if you turn around and say yes, you know, blunt, forthright, politically incorrect, yes, respected. Okay, so in that case we'll make peace with politically incorrect Prahlad Kakar. Also we have Manish Bhatt, founder, chair of MNC Sachi, who by his own admission has made a host of controversial ads. We have Santosh Paddy, CCO and co-founder Taproot Densu, whose agency Taproot is still I think held as a benchmark by many ad-men who are trying to venture out on their own. And lastly we have Shambit Mohanti, head of Creative South at McCann World Group. If your last image of Pierce Brosnan was that of holding a pan masala can, then you need to thank him for it. Yes, he could never live down because he didn't know what the product was. So welcome to the show and before we start there, let me tell you, we are receiving this discussion live on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and we will be happy to take any questions on any of these platforms. So coming back, this is clearly not the first time that Patanjali has been in the eye of the storm. Baba Ramdev and the company have had a long history of making really absurd claims to cure a bunch of diseases like HIV, cancer, quote unquote, I think cure homosexuality and even help women conceive a male child. So this appears to be a identity tested formula to feed into the fear of the people. The question is, will it really work for the brand? Pralad, let me start with you. What do you think? See, what happens with somebody like Baba Ramdev is unless he tries it on himself and proves as a test in the market, whether he takes the medicine orally or anally, we don't really know because he hasn't said how you take the medicine. But whatever it is, if one hand he takes the COVID medicine, on the other hand, a doctor injects him with the COVID, what do you call viral and then 14 days later, if he's still alive and not wheezing his guts out, then we say, wow, we found a cure. I mean, it's a very simple, before and after tried and tested advertising. What do you call stunt? Is that you try it on yourself? Why turn on, make a claim, find 500 people have died and then everybody's suing you and then go underground in a woman's clothes, thinking with a beard and say, I'm the bearded lady from the circus. Midnight crackdown, yes. Exactly. I mean, when he started his career with one controversy, which is when he tried to be a Gandhian and Gandhi took a latte from the British cops when he was going on the salt path and Baba Ramdev did one better. He dressed up as one of his women and was trying to turn on and pass himself out as the bearded lady from the circus. Okay, that was innovative. Shambit, let me come to you. You're the youngest sitting on the panel. What do you think? Do you think this is going to work for Patanjali? See, Patanjali has always believed in this maximum of fake it before you make it, right? I think they have never believed in doing proper, at least that's my believe that, you know, they don't believe in doing R&D. In fact, they treat the customer as a guinea pig. So we launched the product first, let the customers try it out. And if the people like it and if they take a shine to it, hey, we have already made a dent in the market and will continue to grow in that category. So that has always been the approach, you know, sort of to jump down a cliff and grow their wings on the way down kind of a thing. But I think what has happened over a period of time with Patanjali as a brand, it has lost a lot of its equity because of the spurious quality that they put on the table, right? Bang on. Okubar is clearly not a moron. He will try your product once and twice, but after that, he's going to reject it outright. So with Patanjali and especially with, I think they're just trying to cash in on this entire paranoia around COVID-19, and which is why they launched Coronil to my mind. I think the word which defines it is nil. It's going to do nil for people who have contracted COVID or who are afraid of contracting COVID because this is just an eye-wash to my mind. It is just an attempt to ride this bandwagon of fear and paranoia and distress and make money. So I don't think it is going to really be something which consumers are going to take a shine to. But end of the day, I think we are a nation of 1.3 billion people that are enough and more gullible people out there who would want to give it a try. So actually, you never know. What about you Manish? Do you think it's all noise and it's not really going to help the brand? So I think I'll try to, even though I'm creative person, I'll try to make a little, try to answer like a marketing guy. So what I understood is that actually awareness is something which such strengths can manage. But building a brand and a sustainable image is impossible through the shortcuts of advertising. I remember I was an Oguilveian. I think that time my boss used to ban me from using toilets. Some of these cliches like in visuals, like there's the sex or something, some condom, something. So there are, I think a lot of juniors used to come up with an idea using Kudampande, Sunny Leone, this, that and all. And just to, so those things are absolutely, you know, kind of to do a fly-by-night sort of a, sort of a, sort of a buzz. You can do that, but life is longer than, brand life is much longer than this is one of them. And I think over a period of time, these things will, will not work. However, there are, he's more credible than this Kutpat and Kutpat ke Baba. He's a little bit more credible and I think that's the, there are enough people who are the God-believed and a lot of those things. There are Tantra, Mantra, Kala, Jadu, etc. In that, I think these things obviously are going to cut through and he's, he's much more organized and systematic. I think we have lots of population. You know, I'd like to come to you also Paddy. You know, it's a known fact that Patanjali is struggling with market share losses in many, many FMCG categories at this point. Would you say a controversial cure for COVID was just the magic bullet it needed at this point? I think I completely agree with all these three guys. I think they echoed each other and I feel a little bit of credit has to be given to him because I think the entire brand wasn't built purely on controversies. I think there was something good about that brand where they spotted that India, who was the creator of Ayurveda, needs to be given back. But then after that, I think he didn't have the vision to go to the right people. Today, I think whatever we do, you need to have right partners. If I have a script, I'll go to the world to make it magical. Hence, he never ever got the right partner to do justice to his core idea. He never came to the right side of people like us to take the brand forward. And that's where I think he absolutely messed it up because it has a potential. It had spotted the right ingredients. It had spotted the right target audience. And those values were there. But as I said, I think he didn't have the vision to come to people like us to take it to another level. Or there were many set of people. I think he was too greedy to keep the product to himself. I mean, a brand who is launching right from ghee to jeans. Where do you stand? Exactly. Where do you stand and what kind of strategy is this? I think I have heard there are a lot of fabulous product in the lineup. He should have just concentrated on those. His honey did magically well initially. His soaps did well. Oil did well. But they should have just concentrated on the packaging. That sucks. It never appeals to me. If they had put a little bit of effort, energy and thinking behind it, I would have gone and bought it. I would have become a fan of it. So he took a lot of things for granted and hence I think the brand never flew. And it's backfiring now because that's the power of communication. That's the power of strategy. That's the power of the visionary, which I think he never had. It's kind of become reduced to, you know, he's become the controversy favorite child to a very large extent. More than the brand that he's known for. I think that's what it has done to him. You know, we don't want to limit the discussion to Patanjali. So I want to ask someone who has been there and done that, basically create shockwaves in a rather drab pan masala market with none other than James Bond. Shambit, you brought in Pierce Brosnan for a Pan Bahar ad all the way from Hollywood. Now I know I'm digressing here but I really want to know how that even happened. I know there's a lot of controversy that particular act and I would consider that particular piece of work as an act and not so much an ad because we never set out to create something controversial. It was more of a marketing ploy, I would say, a disruptive strategy in a market where Pan Bahar as a brand was probably fourth or fifth and number one was this brand, Rajniganda. And it happened to become controversial because of the nature of the product and also because of course a former Bond was endorsing it. That's something that nobody had ever imagined would happen. Now I think Pan Masala is a product that inherently suffers from an inferiority complex. You know, there is very little glamour associated with having Pan Masala as opposed to cigarettes or alcohol and which is why I think celebrity endorsements play a really major role in making it look appealing to the masses. But from the outset I think we are very clear that we didn't want a Bollywood celeb. I mean we were like let's go big or go home. So which is why my suggestion was that you know if you have to do it then let's do it with a global star and at that time of course Daniel Craig was already the new Bond and Chris Brosnan was very much fresh in the minds of people as Bond, you know and Pan Masala is usually consumed by a slightly older TG and all most of people I think people identified with him as Bond. So on one hand you had the competition which had Manoj Bajpayee, Ajay Devgan Sharukhevan endorsing Pan Masala and on the other you had James Bond who is an international icon endorsing a local brand. So absolutely I think it really created a lot of shockwaves rather but the impact it also had on sales was unprecedented. I mean the brand grew by almost 20-25% that year. But in that case though the brand association was a little difficult to make because you know nobody would imagine a Pierce Brosnan having Pan Masala. So when you created that were you ready for the kind of merciless trolling that was supposed to follow? Everywhere you saw you had people slamming the ads. So was that kind of okay with the brand when it actually happened? I think that is so much that was I would say a move which was thought out that you know I know that there was some negative publicity and I think people who consume Pan Masala comprise a very small percentage of social media. So that really didn't affect us because we are in a world where there's too much competition for attention today. I mean that's why we I think controversial ads are becoming more and more commonplace because there's an attention deficit and we are in a world today where any publicity is good publicity. So that's the way we looked at it and I think the sales also spoke for itself. So it really took... So for us we are not worried about what the PNGs and the unilivers of the world are going to do because the competition for Pan Bahar was Rajnikandha, it was Pan Parag, it was the Wimals of the world. And in that particular category it worked like gangbusters. I know for a fact that it had other Pan Masala manufacturers re-looking at the strategy of celebrity endorsement after we took on P.S. Brosnan. So I would say it did what it was supposed to do. I think you'll also find support in Mr. Bhatt who's himself made a wide range of controversial ads. Name one, I remember the Sunny Leone ad with Alokna, the anti-smoking one. Mr. Bhatt, the one where you know at that time I remember the whole Alokna, you know, sanskari me was doing the rounds and then you showed him with Sunny Leone. I mean that was supposed to be a down route right controversial. So what was going on and you're at that point? So I think, see controversy is one of the things which probably kind of you know, I mean there are lots of things probably can connect with the consumer. I think in that case if I can remember it was not about create a controversy. It was about to, I mean the casting was done to create a kind of a, the subject, the main idea is quantifying the life which we lose with the one cigarette. We tried, we got the data saying 11 minutes. And that 11 minutes after quantifying, if we say people you will lose 11 minutes, they're not, I mean many, many brands and even government has tried to tell people that you'll die and you'll die by 11 minutes or whatever. It did not really cut ice as much probably. So we thought that if we say 11 minutes of your life aspiration or a desire or as an ambition, that gets truncated because of a one cigarette. And if I create a story around that and then we take, you know, your aspiration could be Sunny Leone and your person who can give permission is as good as Alokna, who's a good actor also. Obviously his backstory, when we use a star, you also use his, you endorsing him. So his backstory is also come to play. So it's a contrasting theory. And then you put Deepak Dobriyal who's doing a great acting as a patient and then his desire being completed by meeting Sunny Leone and that gets truncated because of a cigarette. Probably it is a correct casting rather than controversy strategy. We did not make anything do something really, really objectionable in the commercial. So it was well received. It was one of the better viral probably our industry and scarecrow did. And I think it worked in a level where everything, there was a patient on cinema and in contrast there was an entertaining act which was coming in a different, you know, weaving a different threads to the consumer's mind and connecting to this and become a buzz in a smoking room. I think that was the intention. It was not an intention or not a controversy strategy at all. Makes sense. You know, I'd like to bring you in Prahlad. You know, this is the clearest thing an advertiser can do is bank opposite of what everyone else is doing, even if it gets negative publicity. Do you agree? No, not totally, but I'll tell you what it is. See, negative publicity is a very strange phenomenon today. You have what is called in our society today fringe loonies. Now fringe loonies in my term is ultra-right, ultra-left wing or ultra-communal. Okay. Okay. They form five to 10% of your population mix, but they actually share of mind and share of voice is almost 90%. Okay. Because they're the noisiest people you can ever imagine on Earth because they're trolling, they're doing that, they're doing that. They're like, and nobody particularly likes what they say. So the easiest way to chair a controversy if you want one without what you call putting everybody off because of the controversy and still have your brand being well is to chair other fringe loonies. So when you chair the fringe loonies with something rational, but with what they don't believe in or what they've made a statement about, then come out in force and they'll come after your product or your advertising or whatever else it is and try and get it back depending on who the power in the center is. So don't turn around and chair the right wing, right now because you'll get back. Okay. Moment in stake. But if you chair the communal loonies or the left wing loonies or whoever the loonies are, who are slightly fanatical and about 3 to 5% of the population, they make so much noise about it that even if you've not seen the ad, you'll want to see the ad and say, what are you doing in the show? What is so desperate about it? Now the point is 95% of the population when they see the ad and they see who the but end of it is with you. That's right. And the 5% of the loonies are screaming their heads off and taking about a share of voice in 95%. Whereas the guys actually approve it or are sitting on the fence or don't have an opinion or whatever else it is, are not saying a word. Right. At the most they'll say like. So there's one little thing, like. And the fringe loonies will say, we don't like. Yeah, I won't. And then we don't like. But you must understand that the fringe loonies are only 3% of your population. And so much noise that it's a really interesting game to chair them. You know, pro up the little shits. So that they make the noise for you. And then if they make the noise for you, the media picks it up and everything. It becomes a multiplier. Now you take tough shoes. Okay. There was an ad made for tough. The Millens-Soman ad. Right. If you look at the ad, it was really aesthetically beautiful. There is nothing that you could see in it. Except the fact that it was actually suggesting nudity. Okay. So everybody came out, you know, all the right wing, all the shifts and all that came out. All the what do you call right wing conservatives came out. All screamed and shouted. We were on a debate on television. And you know, at the end of the day, what happened was that there was this lady who was ahead of the Mila Mandel. Who said, When there was talk, basically anything is bad. Things like that, all that. They are corrupting our youth. So I told them, Madam, Millens-Soman, and Madhu Saheb, God has made them for a long time. So they did anything and they didn't see anything. So I stood in that pose the same way and went back. Because we were ugly. She was so offended. You have no idea that she didn't want to end the debate. She said you beat me outside. I'll show you. She was so offended that I called her ugly. I said no, but I'm also ugly. You were lucky you didn't get a case on you. That was very, very early. Then there was that coffee ad. You know the bitch. Malai ka. Malai ka. It became extremely controversial. Those products ended up getting banned for these ads, right? I don't think the coffee worked very well because they took off actually. It went up by about 200%. But the good thing that came out of it is the two models, you didn't know each other before the ad got married. Interesting. The way I see it is like there is this first kind of ad where the agenda is to create an uproar or controversy. And the second perhaps is like maybe the surf excel ad, ranglai sung ad which was managed to promote communal harmony. But as soon as I think it was out, the right wing, the Hindu nationalists came up in arms against it for weeks. Which body would you say has more chances of succeeding? I think something similar happened with your Airtel ad, right? You didn't make it with the intention the female boss ad. That ad actually succeeded because 95% of the population said it's a great ad. And 5% of the fringe loonies said it's a horrible ad. Take it off. What do you mean? So they exposed themselves and their feeble mindedness and their small thinking. The majority of these countries who took a dip stick at that time actually loved the ad. Safari, do you agree? Yeah, I completely agree. See, no clients ever comes to you and say the brief never says, I want a controversial ad. Okay, so there is a particular brief and you're trying to solve a problem. And while solving a problem, you may or may not create something that may create ruffle in the society. There's always a need that we need. We don't need a TVC these days. We need a viral. We need something that will go, I mean spread like a wildfire. So this is what the need of every client is today. So and if you look at history, no brand, no single brand is built on controversy. I think you get an opportunity to do something that is topical and relevant like what Manish and guys did with Aloknath or many other things that we keep on doing. So I'll give example of runner like a runner need protein, carbs, vitamins, carbohydrate and fiber, everything. Similarly, a brand needs I think a variety of things and I think conversation I wouldn't call as controversy. I would call it much lighter and say conversation. We need conversation around every work that we create because there is a need from every brand to create something really, really moving. Which again, I'm putting a word to it, which is like a viral. Hence it has to start a conversation. The more you start people start talking about because today I think most majority of our society love talking love giving opinion. And the more you open it, the more it gets resolved. And that's exactly what happened in case of Airtel. We have never designed. In fact, we have given her as a stature of a boss. He was ahead of the office, but some stupid, some idiot from somewhere said, why are you making her go home and cook? No, she's doing by choice. She's not by been forced by husband to go home and cook for him. So why are you not seeing the positive side? The positive side is she is the boss. So we are celebrating her. We are celebrating the community. So that is a positive thing for you guys to think about. So again, I'll try to make one point. If you're standing for something, if you want to really do social, I think a lot of the social ads. I think Pepsi globally did the kennel general one where they have to pull out in fact today's time. So are you relevant in that category of Pepsi standing for something like that? I don't think it's right or the tonality wasn't right. So we have to choose what are you relevant? Are you relevant for whichever category you are standing for? Even if you're doing a social work, I always feel it should be relevant to your category. If you are doing something in the area of food and beverages, please stand for hunger in the world. Please stand for something that is relevant rather than standing for something that absolutely no relevance. Because there are many brands in the world that will be relevant to some issues and hence appropriate. Like I'll give example of steelfree.com, which was done I think 20 years back. Droga Fi is one of the first celebrated work where they actually took the plane that looked like Air Force One and painted steelfree.com. And that really went viral. And as soon as the youth who went on the website, they saw that it's a fashion website where the owner was standing for anti-gravity law, which the president has imposed. I thought that was absolutely relevant. It was the most controversial ad. Many people saw it. What the hell is this? Have the president's plane been hijacked, IV secured, blah, blah, blah, blah. Many things happen. But I think the stance, the message that the brand gave there was absolutely relevant. Hence whatever we do, whether a demo of the product or something standing for the social or doing a controversial conversation. You have to be relevant. Once you are relevant, I think you will win the race. You know, you spoke about something interesting. You said no client will ever come to an agency asking you to make a controversial ad. Does that really happen? Shombit Manish, you made these ads, I think a couple of times and have agencies being asked to make viral controversial ads. There's a thin line between the two, honestly. I think there's a, I would say the differences between the word viral and controversial, right? What is viral may not be controversial, but what is controversial will probably be viral, right? But I don't think any client ever say that, hey, give me a controversial ad. People obviously want to steer away from controversy. Nobody wants to be controversial child, so to say, or the brand to be associated with it. I think brands become or communication becomes controversial, not because they set out to be controversial, but because something about it has been picked up by someone who has found something offensive about it or something to ridicule about it. And it just, you know, grows from there like a. You'll always find some fringe lunatic who has his own idea of right and wrong, who stands on the pulpit and screams his head off and media helps him. Media is the biggest culprit of them all because they actually love controversy and they will work out and they'll claim it and they'll keep it alive long after it's gone because of PRP. And I think, I think, for example, what Patty gave an example of the Kendall Jenner in the Pepsi ad, I don't think they ever intended it to be controversial. Of course it became controversial and it ended up creating a huge backlash because it was so insensitive, right? And ultimately Pepsi retracted it. So of course, in the heart of hearts, every client wants that the ad should go viral, but for the right reasons and not for the wrong reasons. But the thing is that is not really in anyone's hands. You never know which way the cookie was going to crumble. You know, that reminds me. I think there was this one interesting ad you made, Mr. Bhatt, the one on yellow pages where there was this child. I mean, there's this husband who's looking for a divorce lawyer in the yellow pages as soon as he sees his son who's very dark and he and his wife are relatively fair. So, you know, who would in their right mind think that the Tata would buy an idea like this? So tell me, you know, even if brands are big enough, you know, established ones, are they also keen on capturing viewers' attention with ads like these? So we did this ad in 2001 or 2002. We also got Duryodhan Award, apart from Abbey's and other awards. That is for gender insensitivity, right? It's a very simple joke and I don't think that was anything to do with the races or anything. It's just that it happens to be a dark child. I mean, obviously, it was not intended to attack at the receipt. I think we come to the first question that does the client tell you to make it viral? Yes, they do say, but commonality between controversy and viral and love, it happens. What does it mean? It doesn't happen. Viral also happens. Controversy also happens and love also happens. So it happens. Basically, nobody intends to. See, I think if you just fundamentally see, advertising is all about enhancing the product stories. Now, if sometimes product has a great story, we will enhance that. But sometimes product does not have great story. We still have to make bad product look good in the public perception. And for which we need to make our communication should evoke 9 out 9. Right? In that, people do not say anything for the race, but there's one controversial race there, which has been utilized very rarely in literature also. Which is Vibhatsaras, which is discussed, which actually very rarely used. In Ramcharitmanas Manas, Tulsidas had a Doha, I had removed it. In that, it is written that vishta pui radhir kachhada, varda hi kabahun upal bahu chhada. Kabhi vishta kabhi khun, kabhi baal, haddhiya barsa tata, megnath uske usme. All these are varnan. See the writing of mantas. Khushwan Singh, Vishnu Sahani and lot of writers have written in literature in this discussion on Vibhatsaras, the many side stories of the partition time has been written like that. But it has been less used. Advertising also sometimes used this out of 9, that's the one. But we actually walk near the thin line. On one side, we are a client or the world says push the boundary. When the boundary goes beyond that, people come. In that case, tell me in many cases you managed to shock the consumer. Yes, but is that the same as convincing a consumer to buy your product? Otherwise it just becomes a case of you provided some entertainment for your audience and the brand got its 10 minutes in the spotlight and then you probably won an award. And then that's it. Who cares about long term brand building? Does that happen? This stunt won't lead to brand building at all. It just covers the awareness part of it. The affinity with the brand cannot be like you can't have a continued stunts only. I think Prahlad and Paddy and all also should answer this part. When you want awareness, like points to yellow pages was a very low interest area for most people. So it wasn't that you're trying to sell the yellow pages. You're trying to sell the fact that it's convenient. You can find anything in it. And that awareness was very necessary and they're not going to run campaigns for the rest of their lives trying to build the brand and the value of the brand. What is it? It's a very, very quick reference, what do you call yellow pages where you can find anything in it? So if you have one really viral or slightly controversial ad, they've solved the problem because then everybody is talking about that particular thing and you're talking about yellow pages. So when you turn yellow pages involved in a controversy, then who is yellow pages? What is yellow pages? Yellow pages is a glossary of people or professionals who you can find in yellow pages. Enough. It's done its job. I'll just add a bit, Neeta. I think things were very different 15-20 years back. Times have become very sensitive, as I said, because of digital medium, because of internet, because of social media. People are just waiting to create issue out of nothing. There are millions of people who are just sitting there as Prahlad kept on saying, just to make issue out of nothing. And if today Manish was given that same brief, I think they will think twice before doing that ad. Hence, I think those were the time where many things were allowed and hence we, a lot of we did many things that was beyond our imagination. And thanks to many times we have got away with it. If we could do those things, I think we'll be killed today. I mean, we'll be killed literally. I think there is a big religious body and I've gone through many, I'll just give one example. We have gone through many, especially I have gone through many. I think it was second year of my advising career. I was in Mudra. And my school friend was a DTDC career franchisee. So he said, I have to give a small black and white ad in the publication. So just do one type of thing and give. I said, there is an opportunity, because being a kid, when you're junior, everything is an opportunity for you. I said, no, let's do something good. So I convinced him to do an ad where Hanuman is carrying the Sanjeevani mountain. And we said, delivery clear career voice. It got released in midday. It got released in some Navakal. And in the evening he get a call from two wounds saying, how the hell can you do this? So they landed at his house. We used to stay in a chawl. Okay, it's a one plus one chawl. So then he called me on my landline in Mudra. I came at 7.30. When these idiots saw with orange tikka and all saying, both of them are in the chaddi. What will they pay? What will they do? In a flat 20 minutes, they said, sorry, say a letter and run from here. Now if there was a big brand, they would have milked it. And believe me, I have gone through many such incidents where these guys, if there is a brand, they will expect a big chunk of money from you. And if you're doing a social thing, then they will say, do a lot of tando and they will take a sorry note from you just to keep it in their file. I think this has been practicing because there are many religious body who survive only on this. Survive only looking at finding things. I think there are many religious body from either side, from all the sides. I think because the industry body is little weak, hence we have been attacked. We don't have many guards. We are not united. Aski has taken some strong stance on many things, but still we are not united. The fact is the kind of liberty, the kind of liberty that Bollywood gets. We don't even get 10 percent. If there is a condom added in between 10-20 seconds, then we get bug out. Whereas after the condom added, there are no rips in that film. But they are given that liberty. It's the same child, it's the same father, it's the same family who is watching that as well. So why the hell we have been penalized for yours? And I think it's a sensitive issue where we have to come together. Somebody has spotted saying, there is no unity in it. Those who want it, why? We are a 70,000 crore industry. Why can't we come together? Why can't we put some freedom? Because we are in the field of creativity and every creative field needs certain freedom. There are brand guys who are very sensitive about what we do. They put a lot of filters. Some idiots come and say, this is wrong, this has to be done in a particular way. Sorry, we are matured enough in our society as citizens. We understand our consumers. Why are you so sensitive about many things that you are not sensitive about Bollywood? As I said, this is because we are not united. I mean, look at Ashok Pandit. He stands for everything in Bollywood. He's a president of Bollywood body and whatever issue he just goes head on. I wish we can hire him. Deepin Pandit too. That's an important thing. That's food for thought I think there. And I think Shambit wanted to leave the discussion. He had told me he wants to. Do you want to still? I've got five minutes. There is one last question I want to ask you. Taking out from what Paddy has said, there is a section of population out there who is trying to create truckers and then there is a genuine section out there who just takes offence. Any ad technically which is made a little ahead of its time becomes controversial. I think long back there was this Manisha Lamber ad for Femina which was speaking about widow remarriages. It didn't really go down well with the audience. And there are a couple of other examples also like that. So what happens to the brand now? But does it have to worry about antagonizing the loyal but conservative set or does it look forward to getting more people on board as consumers? Prelad, do you want to take that? The point is that as I said you have your fringe loonies and some of them are extortionists. You have what you call an organization in Bangalore called Ram Seine. You remember them? The Valentine's Day Ruckus creators, right? They blackened some guy's face because he was dating a girl. What do you expect to do, date a boy? And then they went into oblivion because everybody came out and started sending them pink chuddies or some shit like that. There was a huge movement where they were posting them pink chuddies from all over the country. So they went slightly underground. But do you know that India today did an expose on them where they had become just a lumpen body and they said, you can hire us for so much money. We will do this for so much money. We will do that for so much money. We will create a controversy for you. Now, you know, I mean, if you have bodies like this, which affiliate themselves with right wing, left wing, top wing, bottom wing, and they have got fathers to protect them, they can sell their services for anything because the media picks it up. Now, I've always been telling media this, that when you think somebody has got an angle into it and they're not doing it out of genuine concern for the large mass of people who actually enjoy what you're doing, then you might actually blacklist them in the sense to black them out. Don't give them free publicity because the moment anybody who wants free publicity gets up and starts torturing you or something. Now, you know, if you look at our politics, if you don't break something, if you don't put a bund, if you don't destroy, if you don't cause jobs or damage, you don't get carried. So why is it that people who are destructive and who are, you know, out and out, they get the media coverage. The good guys never get the media coverage. Right. And before, before I end this discussion, I just like to close with one. I'd like to ask each of you one favorite controversial ad, which according to you has really worked. I'll start with you, Shumbhid, because you have to leave, which is your favorite controversial ad so far, apart from the one you made. Something very recent. I think sometimes controversy also stems from the brand taking a stand. And I think that Colin Kaepernick ad for Nike, it's one of my favorites. Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. The basketball player, Colin Kaepernick. So, and it led to a lot of social media outrage, people destroying Nike apparatus, shoe socks. There's a brand new Nike's hashtag, but I think it benefited the brand immensely because the brand was brave enough to take a stance by getting Colin Kaepernick on board. So that would definitely have to be up there for me. Manish, your turn. I think I have one hours and one word, whatever. One is the Benetton Unhit. I think it did its job in a simplest manner. And one, I think, Prahlad was a consultant to that brand and we used to handle Rupa. So, we had an aspiration that we had to make something like that, especially Rupa, like the one about Nike. I mean, should write like that. So, our aspiration was fulfilled by that ad. We shot in Prague. There was one, whatever, Tubs, like Millions Woman kind of guy, obviously wearing a skin color thing, but obviously not nude, but pretended to be nude. And he was holding roosters at his crotch and saying, what's your size? And it did its job. A lot of people wrote about it, against it, so my wish got fulfilled. I hope she's watching. I did not stop running that ad ever. DNA and wherever possible. It's a theater of mind which we play. We never said what we supposed to say. Like we show a groom cutting tag and the bride thinks it's genital, but he's cutting his tag in his bride's chamber for his undergarment. It's a theater of mind which we're working on. We are not saying anything. That's what advertising and creativity is all about. We are not saying anything. You're just playing with your mind, right? Paddy, your turn. The people who think, I find that you put everything in. If they have a bad mind, I really adore the Nike as a brand who has been standing for edgy work, edgy that becomes controversial. Be it, I think, Lance Armstrong or Tiger Woods during his controversy, Nike always promoted these characters who were on a negative split. Apart from this, Colin Kaepern, I love one more which wasn't globally reached every corner the way it happened with Colin's ad. It was somewhere in the US where a lot of youngsters were victims of drugs. What the local mayor did, he took a church that wasn't used, an old, big church that wasn't used by the locals because there were many new churches that had come up. The brand decided to convert that church into a basketball court by which all the youngsters who were around that church got an opportunity to come together and sports became the reason for them to get rid of drugs. I thought this was a very, very brave, courageous thing. It won at many places including a design property at Cannes as well, which is space design. I thought the brand really stands or touch upon... Again, I think this was very, very relevant. How can you make sports which is your core? How can you make that as a basic facility to the youth? Hence, I feel the relevance part is quite strong here. You are not selling a product or a set of product but you're standing for a cause and that's for the welfare of the society. And I think I wish I could have done this. So this just moves me. Absolutely. And Prahlad, your turn. Well, you know, I'm the child of controversy from day one. I've had more ads banned by censors than any single person in this country but I did find anything wrong with it. I actually challenged them to a certain extent and said, why do you want to ban this? I mean, what is the rational? And they said, no, we are the censor board or we are the censor body and we've decided that you cannot do this in ads. So I said, who the hell are you? You know, I mean, we've got ASCII, we've got all these people who actually allowed this ad to go on and you orbit some little government clerk who decides that, you know, stretcher bearers carrying a patient on a stretcher can't drop the patient in the middle of the road because they see a runaway suitcase come hurtling at them. You know, even the stretcher bearer got up the stretcher chap got up and ran off. And they actually banned it and they said, no, the organization of stretcher bearers will complain to us that they're not allowed to drop patients so carelessly on the ground. I said, I'll go to any government hospital and see what they're doing there in the corridors. I mean, what are you talking about? But the point is that, you know, there's no specific ad that I can say was either my favorite controversy or non-favorite controversy. But the fact is that Nike stands out actually for a lot of controversy because they actually turn on and have an attitude and what Nike is telling is not shoes. They're selling that comma of theirs is they just do it. It doesn't matter what you're doing. So I remember Wimbledon ad, which came out just before Wimbledon. Everybody is desperately laying lines. They're holding the net. People are running around desperately trying to get the court in order and this dog comes across, sniffs at their post where the net is being hanged, raises his hind leg and pees on it and goes off. And it says, Nike, just do it. So, I mean, it was so completely out of the box. It was completely unexpected. I looked at it, I almost held out laughing. But somebody has to turn on and find objection in it. And we have so many people in social media today who are empowered to turn on and give an opinion because they have the place in the sun. So the point is in a way, social media is good because it actually gives people the power to have an opinion and you can engage with them if you choose to. But it also gives a whole lot of absolute yahoo. The power to want to be known because they want to criticize somebody and out of complete negativity and pure black negativity, nothing else. There's nothing positive about it at all. That actually reminds me to take a question which is on similar lines. An anonymous attendee says, there's a large chunk of population who love little dark humor, little controversy and little edgy stories even in the form of ads. Because of a small chunk of armchair activists on social media who oppose everything under the sun, the audience doesn't really get to see those kind of ads. So do brands today need to be more courageous? What do you think? Sorry, I'll button here. I need to take your leave. It was really lovely chatting with all of you. But Pranath, please continue. Thank you so much for joining us. We're just closing it anyway. I hope you're a tough client and I hope you're not going to ask for the money that they owe you because they're going to say we're not going to pay you because of COVID. Okay. He's absolutely right what he said because I've already maintained that 5% of your people who like to make controversies out of nothing do it to get attention for themselves. They're all attention seekers. They've done nothing in their lives which will actually give them some sunlight. But they will ride on somebody else's, what do you call it, talent? They'll ride on somebody else's creativity and turn on and criticize it so that the media picks it up and says, this guy is head of this little group of people who are right-wing, left-wing, top, down, bottom, underway activists who turn on and say that this is wrong and therefore they start to dialogue with them. And for that one or two days when that controversy rages, these people get their moment in the sun for doing nothing except being negative. So I mean at some stage we're going to get as a population, we're going to get fed up and turn on and tell them to shut up even in social media. And I'm waiting for that day because it's very close. So we turn on and say mind your own business, just do your own thing and don't get involved in something that doesn't concern you or doesn't matter. We like it and that's it. Thank you so much. Pari wants to add something. Sometimes back we were thinking on this because of social media or because of the behavior in the social media or the attack via social media on brands or creative work has actually made a lot of clients very sensitive. Even if there are two to three comments which are negative compared to 50,000 comments which are positive, brands seems to becoming very sensitive and hence the edginess, the weapons that we used to use earlier have been taken away from us. We are a lot more less creative compared to what we were 10 years back. Will we be able to do a tough shoes ad today? I don't think so. I don't think so. We'll have courage to do that kind of thing. But that's again one of my favorite ads because if you run that ad, it's ageless. It will run today. It's such a beautiful ad. We always say minimize everything when you want to sell a product. I'm just taking literally, they have minimized everything and just put the shoes in front of you. So what else do you see? So obviously I think somewhere the industry people or consumers need to be a little more sensitive. It's like if you give a toy to a youngster to a bachu, he will play with it for a while and that's the exact same sentiment mindset which is happening with our consumer. The internet has opened up. Hence they are like going holo without thinking anything. Beat advertising, beat on issues, beat on COVID. I think people are not at all sensitive about what they are saying. I have got a platform. If I can type, let me just rant. I think it impacts many, many, many things. But I think we will grow up with maturity. 5, 7, 10 years down the line. I think our approach towards social media will be far different. But if you don't keep on sensitizing people I think we will keep on suffering more. Manish, any closing thoughts? I think people originally started, that used to be a very simple. Satyu meh sab good and evil hota tha. Satyu to hota tha. Slowly, slowly we got evolved and then now we have grey shades. So many grey shades. So the media reflected, the creators reflected. The advertiser reflected to use all these grey shades. Now, obviously there is a very thin line between them. It crosses. But we should have to take it, we as a society have to take it as a pinch of salt that okay, it happens. But now making a big gaga over these kind of things like MTV and advertising actually taught work to Indian society and everything. 10 years back, 12 years back, 15 years back such a beautiful world. We all joined advertising because of that communication, because of that. If we lose that edge, why we used to enter advertising MTV and MTV generation we used to call and advertising because none of the other medium literature anything were not allowing to express work in us. And that itself has been getting killed day by day and making us very, very logical. The sheer reason why we came into it because we used to express those edginess and that itself is under threat and under the curve. I think that is where we used to know people like Prahlad in this industry. We used to know that Cyrus in my MTV doing this where we see this ad is very edgy and all. That's the reason we came. Now what is it? Super, super. So if I may sum up, I'd like to say to everyone, every ad maker out there contemplating on creating the next bold shocker of an ad, if you're creating a controversial ad for the right reasons, do it with conviction because I think nothing can propel a brand faster than a controversial ad, which is like I mentioned for the right reasons. So in three words, I think make it large. Thank you so much everyone for joining me on this wonderful discussion. I think this was one of the best we've had in the recent history. Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye bye. Thanks Sita. Bye Pralad, bye Manish. Bye guys. Now remember, the next platform is OTT. You can say what you want and get away with it. Surely. Thank you Pralad. Thank you Manish. Thank you Paddy.

And if you see the option flow coming into Tesla, this is kind of what we always talk about, option flow, option flow, option flow, even when the market was selling off today and at one point, the cues were really, just really getting hammered. They were coming for the 210s, the 215s, the 220s. I saw some 233 and a halfs. I saw some February, excuse me, March 250 calls. So the institutional money flow was definitely kind of putting the blinders on as far as weakness today in the market. And really propelled Tesla to higher prices. If Tesla, again, shakes off some news and shakes off some weakness tomorrow and starts rebuilding today's channels, again, depending how aggressive the option flows in the morning, we could see a move to 206. We could see a move to 213. And the way they were betting this 220 level is going to be very, very important if Tesla obviously wants to stretch.

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Sunday Night Mox, presented by FanDuel. I'm your host, Simon, joined as always by my beautiful co-host, John Luke and Joey. What's up, guys? What up? Going on? Guys, today we, I'm so excited for the mock drafts today. I've been looking forward to it all day. We are doing, I'm just going to say it right now because I'm too excited. Just say it. A 16 mock draft, but Joey Jail and I, not the other three people in the chat or whoever is going to draft along with us. We've got three open spots. So grab them if you want them. I just put the link in the chat, but what Jail, Joey and I are going to be doing is we have each been assigned a direction. It's been randomly generated and we can only draft players from the two divisions that are of that direction. So today I'll be drafting from the South Divisions. Jail is going to be drafting from the West Divisions. And Joey is going to be drafting from the North Divisions. I'm going to ask you guys a little bit about how you're feeling about your divisions in a second. But before we do that, a couple of reminders. Number one, if you're watching the show, you just tuned in. Thank you for joining us on this Sunday night to draft with us. Thank you for watching.

We got some people in the chat ready for today's show. Oh, the joke. Tim in here. A brother. He's got our thumbnails. A Cooper cup, more like Cooper Douglas cup. Am I right? I thought there was a joke here. I had to Google it. That's just his middle name. His middle name is just Douglas. That is right. You are right, Tim. That is correct. It's Tim. Yeah. You know, we got two spots left in our draft. The link's in the chat. If you guys want to join and draft along with us, we're going to start promptly at 7.15 Eastern time. Actually 7.16 Eastern time. Don't be late. There'll be one minute after it says it started until that first pick. FYF. Who's running this is more like Cooper cup. Am I right? And if you're listening to this audio only, we switched to the K and the C. So it's really sneaky. I hear that already. Manny, what's up? So just looked on to YouTube. Perfect. Perfect timing. Welcome, Manny. We got Jurassic scoop. Oh, I love trick Twitch Craig whenever he comes in. What's up, Craig? Well, Craig is a wild card. You never know what he's going to say. Oh, hi. Sorry, someone else should have read that probably. That's a great catchphrase, Craig. Someone should have thought of that. Joey, you should probably, you should think about that one a little bit more. I might try that sometime. We got NBA in the chat. What's up, NBA? Is it every Sunday? All three of you beautiful folks of the happy Sunday to you. NBA. I hope I'm going to do you one better. I hope you have a fantastic week. Hmm. Also, man, he's in. Man, he's drafting with us. We got a man after with us. Who's joining me? I'm gonna read drafting from a plane. Use your picture. You're on a plane. I had the same thought, Joey. And I didn't even think I just thought, yeah, he's drafting from a plane. Yeah, that's an awesome way to spend a plane ride. Maybe he updates his profile picture based on where he is every time. Every time he's in a new location, just so people can know where he's at. If you are watching YouTube on a plane, you have like some of the strongest internet I've ever seen because that seems impossible. That's not Southwest plane internet. Oh my God. No, we got Mr. Scammers in the chat said, what? What? What? No, Mr. Scammers and for the flex and you're saying, what's going on fellas? Welcome to flex. Glad to have you in here. Welcome, man. We're glad you're here. Guys, while we're waiting for some people to join the stream, we had a question from NBA. Oh, is it full? We filled out the draft. You said the stream. Yeah, the draft is filled now. No more spots. That is not the spot I wanted that four spot because there are three players from my division worth taking in the first round. Oh, but Jail can't take one of them because he's drafting. So I'll get at least one of them there at the spot. I might have a really good first two picks. I'm very excited. NBA in here. Who are your guys? Top three training camp performers. So maybe not top three, but have there been any training camp performances or hype that's come out that has impressed you guys that you've enjoyed here and about Joey will come to you. I don't want to fall into the Romeo dubs hype, but I'm loving all those videos. Romeo dubs catching them passes. So I mean, it's kind of a lower player. Something getting double jitter rounds, but you know, Romeo's moving up my my rankings a little bit. So I'm pretty getting excited for him, but maybe I shouldn't. Somebody shared a picture earlier of like the last four years, different beat riders to the Packers pumping different receivers that they had not to be nothing. But let's, you know, let's hope for Romeo is, you know, that we're his Juliet. I don't know, but it's different this year, right? Because there's no there's no there's no Adams. It is different. There's no Jordy Nelson. There's no alpha a one wide receiver on this team. So maybe this is the year. Maybe this is the year the Packers hype pays off. Jail, anybody for you? Any training camp news that's standing out to you? Man, there is. I tend to try not to buy too much into training camp news, but there was I got a notification yesterday. I'm busy. I'm in New York just, you know, doing my thing. I see my pull out my phone. I see AJ Brown is just getting fed at training camp and I'm fully bought into that. That is that is confirming my prior belief, which is the exact kind of analysis you need. Let's go. AJ Brown is going to be fantastic this year. And then for me, it's a quarterback that I love coming out that people are excited about. I feel like the Trey Lance news out of camp has been positive. It's been exciting. There's been reports like they're ready for him to take the reins that he's ready to step up into this role. So I've moved Trey Lance up probably just two spots in my rankings and it's not just training camp. I think I had him a little too low, but I'm excited for Trey Lance. I'm I'm excited for him this year. It should be a lot of fun. We got some more people in the chat. Andrew Hall. What's up, Andrew? Welcome Andrew to have you here. And then I'm back in Mahalo Jail. He must be must remember. I should go put on my Hawaiian shirt right now. I thought you've lived in it now. I've got any pun and anyone says Mahalo to me. I just got to run off. Where in the yeah. It's like Josh were taking shots. I was in a store like a folk art store in San Antonio this weekend and they had these the sickest Hawaiian shirts I've ever seen in my life and I am excluded from the Hawaiian shirt. I hope you don't have all you guys going on. Oh my God. You do it. I tried it on. I was so excited. I was like, I'm going to get it. And then I look at the price tag. It was a hundred and seventy five dollars. I am not buying up. No, no, I wouldn't need for three weeks if I bought that shirt that would just not get better than maybe they could put me on like a three year payment plan for something like that. And I can get three years. Do you have financing for this? Can I finance this Hawaiian shirt? What's your interest rate? Oh, people in the chat are ready for football. Geek hippie said happy preseason football every year. So excited. Mr. Scampers wants to know what divisions we are drafting from. So before this draft starts, we got about five minutes till it's going to kick off. Dale, you're going to be drafting from the West divisions. Correct. Yeah, you're in the West. How are you feeling about that going into this? I feel fantastic. I hope you guys feel terrible about that. I have the Rams, the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Broncos, the Seahawks, the Chargers and the 49ers. Are you kidding me? That's stacked. I already won this draft. Yeah, you might have. I'm, I'm, I'm hoping that the other three people in this draft just hyper-target you. Why are you putting that idea on their head? Because you have the best divisions that you're drafting from with Aidao. Break my ankle before the race even begins. A hundred percent. It's the only way I can win jail. I'm not above that. Joey, you're going to be drafting from those North divisions. How are you feeling about that? Um, I'm feeling good as far as if I, I kind of want to try if I'm able to pull it off a zero RB strategy because there's two receivers. I absolutely love that are both on North teams. Will they be there? I guess we'll find out, but we will find out, but I think I know what I might go double like double handicapped strategy plus a division. Okay. There we go. We'll see. And then you're thinking, man, I see on the south division, you know, like I started looking through AFC and NFC South players Q and I'm in it. First I was like, Oh hell yeah. Like, like the first 10 were like, we're going to kill it. We're going to kill it. We're going to kill it. And then all of a sudden we hit a cliff and I scrawled and I scrawled and I scrawled and then like the next guy up was just like, all of a sudden we're talking about like Jamies Winston and 90 behinds like, like very quickly. I feel like this might get messy for the south division teams fast, but we'll see. We'll see. It should be a lot of fun. I'm going to go and pull up this draft board for us guys since we're starting in a couple minutes. Whoo, I'm excited. And now this is also a six man lead. We usually do bigger drafts 10 to 12. So we've got a six man going on today in a six man lead jail with this division strategies. Is it affecting how you're planning going into this? Well, I'm just expecting now that everybody's just going to target all my players and I don't have all of the players from this division queued up. So this is going to get really chaotic here. I'm not, no, it's not changing my strategy too much. Six team league. I mean, we talk at nauseam. I feel like in these, in these streams about, you know, the advantage, how your strategy might change based off size. So I won't even get into that. But in this one, knowing that you guys are only drafting from certain divisions and I'm only drafting from certain divisions. That definitely change might change my strategy a little bit here. There's two guys you don't have to worry about stealing your guy, but like there are. Yeah, yes, your player pool is smaller, but you don't have to worry. I'm picking what happens if you do. We need like a like a bonk, like a bonk. Yeah, we scream bonk and shame them. If you pick a player you're not allowed to, you have to make an animal noise of the other two's choosing on stream. Oh, yes, I love that. If you pick a player that's against the rules, it's an instant punishment on stream. All right, I thought it was. Oh, God. Sorry. So someone just start thinking of what a giraffe says because that's the noise I'm going to want to hear first. Just start playing that one in your head. Think about what a locus sounds like a skink. What is it? What is that noise? Yeah, it's a lizard. It's like a lizard. Oh skunk. Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm so sorry. I always mix up those vowels. I thought it was weird. People kept mispronouncing it. And then whenever people showed you your pet skinks all the time, you're like, you idiot. That is not a skunk. Did you know skunks are fairly common pets? No, I had a friend who had a skunk growing up. You can get him de-scented, which probably isn't very nice to them, but then it's kind of like a cat running around except it's a little bit scarier whenever it runs up to you because it's a skunk which you're supposed to be frightened of. Oh, I like animals. I don't know. I don't get to be scared. If you didn't know your neighbor had a skunk and you were standing in their yard and their cat ran up to you. You might bend down and pet their cat, but if their skunk ran up to you, then you suddenly realized it was a skunk that's run up to your leg. Simon, you are exactly right because one of my favorite animals in the world is a raccoon and unbeknownst to us, our neighbors got raccoons that they were fostering and raccoons. Pet raccoons. They had them for about three weeks and I walk outside when I took the garbage away and I see two raccoons and I was like, oh my gosh, these are such cute raccoons and all of a sudden one of them starts like walking over to me and it's going quicker and quicker and I got terrified and I ran inside and I called my neighbor. I'm like, oh, you've got two raccoons. She was, oh yeah, those are our pet raccoons. She's probably trying to hug you and so I love raccoons. I, in the moment, I ran away from the raccoon because I was scared. I'm with you Joey. I think all of my favorite animals I would run from, not a cow. Cow is my number one favorite animal. I will not run from a whale. Maybe a bull, like if it's a charging bull, but just like a dairy cow out there in the field and I'm, we're not running. I don't even care if it's trying to hurt me. I love cows so much. We got on an animal tangent. That's my guy, but this draft is going to be starting. The draft starts in 15 seconds. Mr. Scampers has the first pick and I see Mr. Scampers and you're saying, so I got these, you do not, everyone drafting with us. Mr. Scampers, Manny and Hey, if you want to, you can. Nobody can stop you. You can if you want, but you do not have to. Only, oh shoot. Oh, it's not my pick yet. Okay, stop taking. Okay. Well, I was hoping to get one of those two guys, but I did not, but I know who I'm taking with my next pick. What are the settings in this draft here Simon? This draft, this is a half PPR league jail. It's a half PPR one quarterback league. So you're going to be drafted one quarterback or starting one quarterback to running backs, three wide receivers, a tight end and a flex, no kicker, no defense, no super flex. And we're going to be drafting 18 rounds. I believe if I'm not mistaken. Um, well, this is a fairly easy decision for me. I believe. Is it? I forgot. Oh my God. I might start this off this way. This is crazy. Yep. So jail, you started with Cooper cup seems like a fairly easy choice for you right there. Top wide receiver. I'm not going to lie. I already forgot the rule while drafting. Like I almost got almost took Derek Henry, but I was like, ah, no, we're up here. So Dale might this night me and accept the animal noise at one point. I know just to do it. I'm guessing one of your guys got taken to me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Justin Jefferson. I thought it'd be cool to start off Jefferson and Chase. However, I'm actually going to go away from my ADP because when I was putting together my Q, I noticed that I had a huge deficiency in my divisions at tight end. So I'm going to reach for Andrews, even though I wouldn't normally do that because I have to, but I want to have a good team. So I have to know. I think that checks out. I think that checks out. You are. There's definitely a certain position or divisions. There's one good tight end in my divisions and then if I miss them, I'm just going to punt till the very end and hope people don't snipe me on those late round guys probably reach a round or two on some of those. I should watch my crazy. I should really watch my crazy. You're no stranger to the reach around. Yeah. I'm no stranger to reaching around or two. Um, oh God, what do I do? I'm already upset. Um, but not. I feel I have this anxiety that I like just completely forgot one of the A teams. Like I just did not queue up any of their players because I just forgot. Oh, Simon. I just saw that Austin Echo was traded to the Jaguars. So sweet. I can grab Austin Echo. No, I considered Camara there, but with the looming suspension, I didn't want that to be my second round pick. So I went with the wide receiver that I really like who's like a top seven guy for me, Mike Evans. So I'm happy with my start, but I have a feeling it's going to dissolve quickly now devolve, dissolve, dissolve, devolve. Are you are what are you thinking with Mike Evans with uh, with Julio Jones there now? You think that's going to affect him at all? Doesn't change it at all for me. The only big boys. It helps Tom Brady and it hurts Russell Gage. It's how I feel like I feel like Julio has been used in a similar way as Mike Evans is that long like downfield, long played type of guy. I don't know. They're going to use him that way and buck in Tampa Bay and not that they necessarily they couldn't use both of them, but it'll be interesting to see. Yeah, I think go ahead, Simon. You go ahead, Joe. You're the Bucks guy. You probably got a if they utilize it's funny. If they utilize Julio for his talents in the red zone, like even though Matt Ryan not didn't really ever get ever a ton of touchdowns, it would be neat to see a two big guys on the side of each other to Julio probably has the most red zone touchdowns of his career this year. Oh, maybe. Yeah. Traff just went away. Yeah. So yeah, I think that's totally a possibility Julio could have the most red zone touchdowns of his career. We saw them use Chris God when Mike Evans very effectively last year. I think at some point in the season, they were like wide receiver nine and 10 the BPR formats. So I think it's absolutely possible. I don't I agree with you. It doesn't bother me at all. No, I think it like I'm happy for Julio. I think it's about as good of a landing spot as it could have landed in and not just Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, but we saw that Buck and yours offense support Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Antonio Brown all at the same time. They were all fantasy and not just fantasy relevant. Great for fantasy. Yeah, like you could start all three of those guys every week. I don't think Julio Jones is going to be an every week fantasy starter, but I do think he could be a fantasy option and it's not going to affect Mike Evans all that much. Jail, you're back on the clock. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to go. I've been weird Simon. I think it's weird much time with you because you know what I'm going to do here. I got to take Travis Kelsey and that's a second time in two days that I've drafted Travis freaking Kelsey and I don't like it, but I kind of okay. Joey, I'm taking a page out of your book with this pick. We're going Kyle Pitts. I'm just going to grab the tight end now. Yeah, I'm going to take a pit out of your book and distract right there. It out of your book. So I'm up and out of here and I'm going to see what my regular queue looks like. This is crazy. My regular queue and my I have to draft this way queue both guys at the top area Jones and Deandre Swift. Oh, my two. Those are pretty good options. Yeah, that hopefully I don't need that. So you started Jamar Chase Mark Andrews and then got Deandre Swift, Aaron Jones. I know this is sick man league, but with the stipulations in there like man, that's an impressive story there. Also, I love Tim's comment in the chat saying somebody take Andrews. Yes. No, realize that Joey was the one who took him. Tim is 100% just trying to play us. Not a doubt in my mind. And Mr. Scavers said suckers. Oh, no, we're back on the clock. Oh, what do I do? I'm already finding players I've missed in here. This is this is not good for my blood pressure. There's this format here. Well, later made up rules. You came up with Simon. Would you guys think for net or Camara first with the Camara situation? Oh, that is a that's not fun. Yeah, that's I just made that decision on the spot. I just went for net. But Joey, what would you do? Um, man, like in a week, my answer might be completely different because it sounds like the Camara's news is going to push anything going on with him back to the next season. So Alvin Camara is on the field for 17 games healthy. That's him, right? I mean, it's absolutely him. He had with James target him 21.6% of his passes. Now Michael Thomas wasn't on the field during that time, but that's the highest target share he's ever had in his career. Even if that comes down, James already has built rapport with Camara. So I like Camara a lot. If he doesn't miss any games this year. Do you if you had to right now for a million dollars say he does or doesn't miss games this season? Where would you where would you put it? I'm going to say he doesn't miss games. Wait, I would take that bet because even if he plays, he might get hurt. So Joe, I take the bet. That's not what I meant. You take them back. There was no bed. I'm going to get a million dollars. Joey, you better find a donor to fund this bet. So you're on the clock jail. I see giant green bar in front of my face. Oh, boy. I'm trying to look at what happens with this position soon. Oh, gross. Gross. All right. All right. Yeah, you went for it. You know what? Oh, I don't like that. Like a QB, like I couldn't really pick what am I going to go Keenan Allen or Darren Waller here? Mike Williams. No, I wouldn't go QB. I got my homes are Herbert. I went Pitman there and I think that's probably similar to your to like, oh, Craig, he's just messing with me. What a jerk that Craig guy is. We love Craig. Yonte Johnson and also NBA has a tip for you. Jail says, Jail, this food will lower your blood pressure. Ice cream. Do I got some in your fridge? I got some in my fridge. I would move to the freezer pretty quickly. I like it soupy. Jail likes ice cream soup. You are a big soup guy. I used to have ice cream soup all the time as a kid. You would purposely make ice cream. You know what? Put it in the microwave and you get the sprinkles in there and whenever you mix it up, the colors of the sprinkles bleed into the ice cream soup. I never did that, but that sounds good. Joey, your two picks. You went Deontay Johnson and Lamar Jackson. Yep, I'm happy with the Lamar Jackson pick. I would have taken a different wide receiver other than Deontay if I didn't have to take somebody from the north. I'm not too crazy about Deontay this year. I just. What was that time? My team's very balanced. I'm trying to figure out where to go here and I can't decide. We're going to do it. I'm just going to take out on Camaro and we're going to hope that these games are pushed. I feel like at this point I waited two more rounds from what I initially was going to take them and I'm fine with that value here. But I think it's only six games if he does miss, right? Right. So even if he does miss, there's still the majority of the season. They'll be playing with six games is a lot. It is a lot. But there's no NFL appeal that we have to worry on the back end of it. Right. J L. I'm going to pull up your team so far. You've got Patrick Holmes, Austin Echler, one running back. So this looks a little bit like a, you went tight end relatively early. Quarterback relatively early. Don't say. This is a hero RB build so far. We'll see how it continues going. But I feel like running back is probably the toughest position to look at here to figure out what's going late because as it goes later, there's only going to be a couple guys you're probably looking at. Oh my God. That's a good point. Right. Thank you for helping me. It's going to be rough back there. Who are you? I'll say them out loud so everyone else can hear that Tim can just mobilize the chat against me. Also, we got Craig and you saying, I thought the three of us others were all here just to snipe each of you. Oops. That's 100% what you're in here for. Um, a visitor skipper says basically I'm winning. Yeah. This is in first so far without a doubt. If they make this pick in time. Oh, they got it in Jalen hurts. You want to take a peek at Mr. Scamper's team? Oh, wow. That's always. Don't have to ask me twice. Mr. Scamper show us your team. We got Jalen hurt the quarterback. CMC, Seyquan Barclay and Zeke at running back. You're killing AJ Brown. The clock. You're on the draft. I'm on the draft. Oh, no. This is awesome. Man, he said, uh, we listed it and Tim said rally chat. Yeah, I feel like the chat decided to gang up against us. I don't know what the hell kind of strategy I'm doing here. I got two QBs. Two of the best quarterbacks in the league. J. Oh, you should have a advantage of that infinite stacks with this strategy. You want to go up only West division here. DJ Moore. Welcome to the squad. Baker Mayfield's new best friend. Are they eating breakfast together yet? Have you guys heard? I've not heard. Did somebody draft Romante Williams? Probably which one of you did it? Not me on their each roster. I'm going to find it was you. The road to glory. Oh, road to glory. They would do that. Wouldn't yeah, classic road to glory. Every time just drafting Javante Williams. I forgot the Broncos were a team that you could draft from jail. I don't know why for some reason they seem like their vibe is different than all the other West Coast teams. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. They got something going on there. I don't know what it is. It's with Russell Wilson. It just feels like an entirely new team. I'm on the draft. You're on the draft. I'm really proud of those draft the wrong player yet. Like, okay, and we're going to I'm going to pull a JL draft five quarterbacks and I'm going to take one quarterback with Tom Brady came Bobby. I'm going to touch your butt. And here's a kid old Lance. That is a fun stack as well. Yeah. And Jail's got that West division. So, man, you kid old Kelsey Herbert Mahon's. You got some fun players to choose from jail. Yeah, but it doesn't seem like it right now. Where are they all? You know, because they all got drafted because they're all very good. So that may be a problem. It's kind of an issue here. There's a ton of really good players and you get to the middle rounds and what you're going to take like Meekle Hardman in the ninth round or something like that in a 16 league. I'm so so afraid that I mean this team is going to be ugly by the end of this. There's no doubt about it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was telling Joe before I was going through and queuing players and once I hit Mo Alley Cox, I was like, I'm going to stop queuing players. Like if we get past this point, this team is really, really nothing more. I can do. I'll just make animal noises. I'll just draft whoever and start start moulin or whatever you preemptively. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Joey. As this draft goes on, we're going to be reaching further and further and ADP and then towards the end, I think really we're going to be taking some people and juju taking one pick before you jail. Hope you weren't hoping on taking juju right there. But no, definitely not me wouldn't be me. Now you can't and man. He said just remember the road to glory username. It will be up top and then said, you're welcome. I'm assuming for the juju pick right? Yeah. Must have or yeah, or the no, the one before when I was a when I was poo pooing road to glory. Let's for Javante Williams. That's what it was. All right. I went cam acres here. Cam acres was one of those guys that keep going back and forth on I ended up drafting him and Scott Fishbowl solely upside solely upside. I'm not that bullish that he's going to be able to pull off the his draft costs. I'm not very well. I'm not confident that he's going to return that type of value, but when it comes to upside, I'm fine taking him here and plus running backs are getting low for me specifically here. Yeah. And it looks like a lot of teams. I was just looking at the roster constructions here. A lot. All of these teams are there's nobody going like zero RB here, right? The lowest number of running backs is three running backs. Craig has five. I have four and then three everywhere else. Like it's, um, running backs are flying off the board in this draft. Yeah. Where do I? Oh, I don't know. Ooh, I do. I bought the reports. Just doing my job show up. They work do the job road to glory. I can't decide. Okay. I guess we'll just take another player that may not play or that is there's some uncertainty about in Michael Thomas, but I feel like the upside is there. So I'll grab Michael Thomas right there. Man, it's, um, there's like two more players. I'm interested in, uh, you know what? Two more non rookies. And then we got some rookies that I'm all excited about, but it's those two that's the rookies and then, and then it's gross. This, what round are we on? We're on round 10. We still got like 11, like a nine picks left. Oh my God. No, it's going to get pretty bad. I miss those gamers that other than CMC, I'm all East. Bay Bay Bay Bay. Hey, is that an East Bay reference? Mad respect, if it is. It's probably not in your Maryland. But you just pulls East Bay out of wherever you could. East Bay. It's not a Maryland thing. That's you thinking of old Bay. Old Bay. That's what I was thinking of. Oh, I love me some crabs and a little bit of East Bay on the top. I'm a West Bay. Like the sports. Have you guys come sports? Yeah. Yeah. It used to be a catalog in sight. Yeah. Yeah. The East Bay catalog. So the only catalog gets sent to you when you're 12. I love that joint. Yeah. It's like, I'm going to get some sneakers. Oh, you gave me some space after this. Was that? No, I never had a Toys R Us one. I would like every year for Christmas, my sister and I would take the catalogs that would come in the mail and just circle all the shit we wanted and show you and my parents would never look at it. Like I'm pretty sure that that that was just for me. That was just for fun. 100% I did that as well. And you're on the clock jail. It wasn't Toys R Us. It was like craft magazine stuff like toy magazine. It was craft mac and cheese the catalog. Craft mac and cheese. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Don't worry. You have 10 whole seconds. Okay. All right. DK Metcalf. Welcome to the team. And Mrs. Giver said only catalog I get is U-line. That was another favorite as a child was the U-line catalog. Is it the moving company? No, it's U-Haul. DK Metcalf. Yeah. He's in the West. Yeah. I'm the West. Oh, okay. That's good. Get out of here. Joey, Joey should have to make an animal sound for the false alarm here. Okay. Joey had me convinced with asking with saying, but that's the West immediately. I was ready to make you make an animal noise right now. Well, suck it. And then we got Craig who said I've only taken players from Joey and JL division so far. Do I need to switch to Simon now? Yes. No, yes. No, that's okay. Oh, I'm on the clock guys. I'm on the clock. Let's see who's there. Oh, honestly. I'm probably not the best strategy to start picking players from my division for you. It's not a winning strategy for me. I'm not excited about taking players from the South going forward. There are so many good quarterbacks in the West. This is so dumb. JL just draft 20 quarterbacks. I didn't want him, but I'll take him. Okay. At least it's the right division. Yeah. And then another tight end. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I've got two top seven ish tight ends. Yeah. Where are you from? Hawkinson. How do you feel about TJ Hawkinson this year, Jerry? You know, I like a lot of guys more than him. I do like his floor. Oh, Craig. There's some guys feelings that I like a little bit more. You know, Dalton Schultz and I really love Zach Erz this year and I have Erz above Hawkinson and a lot of people don't have that. So if it works, yay, it's me. So. There we go. I've got, I, I'm not super excited for TJ Hawkinson. I think he'll be good. He's probably one of the safer options, but at where he's being drafted, I don't like, I don't see what the upside is, but I will say people are excited about TJ Hawkinson. DeAndre Swift. I'm in Ross St. Brown. Like there's got to be maybe a little bit more excitement about Jared Gough and people are giving him like, like if we're as high on his weapons as people are, then you should maybe be a little bit higher on Jared Gough. I'm not saying a QB one, but a high end QB two. Like it seems like that would be necessary for the projections for those three players to hit. Joe, how do you feel about Mr. Jared Gough? He's fine. He is what he is. And you know, I do like this, the leadership there in Detroit. I think that they could turn the steam around. I'm not expecting it this year, but I do like his receiving options. And so golf, I think is a passable QB. He's more of like a guy I'd take, especially like two QB type leagues. I think he could be a sneaky, late round type of guy just to have as your QB three, not sneaky, but better than whatever golf is not sneaky without a doubt. Sneakier than sneakier than what we will expect. Relatively sneaky. He's got some relative sneakiness. Oh, are we talking about him as a person or him as a value of fantasy football? Oh, he is such a mischievous little little mix. You think he's a prankster? You think like he hides behind the door outside the locker room and jumps out and scares people? Crippling social anxiety. Just looking at him. Who in the NFL do you think is the most likely person to hide outside the locker room door and jump out and scare everyone that comes out? No, no. Oh my God. Jail has to make an animal noise. It was Fandals fault. It was Fandals fault. Blame it on Fandals. Oh my God. What animal noise am I making? Jail. He took Jacob's in the West. He took Kareem Hunt. I went to click on to my my screen and it just went boom ought pick. What? It went Kareem Hunt. I don't we went Christian Kirk on my jail. What noise am I making? Joey, you can pick the animal noise. What animal? I wanted to take Kareem Hunt because he's from my division. No, I don't. Um, one second. Let me make my picks. Let me get my second quarterback. Well, then I'm going to pick jail. We're going to go on. We're going to go a little bit classic here. I want I want a goat. Can you do a goat noise? I want to scream and go out. All right, let me get my mindset here. That's a goat. Certified. What is wrong with that goat jail? Sounded like goat sound. Geez. I've never met a goat. I don't know. I think I have enough wide receivers. I just keep on thinking she my daughter's best friends a goat named Cookie lives at the zoo. It lives at the zoo once a week. Um, NBA wants to know if you guys have to bet who will have more passing yards between Goff and Lamar this coming season. It's Lamar for me. I know he's a rushing quarterback, but it's still Lamar Jackson, especially an offense. Joey, you agree? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. They were gonna see Lamar throw a lot. Sure. I agree. What do you think? Yeah, it's Lamar for sure. No, I figured. Yeah. Yeah, it's Lamar. We're talking. We're talking about the lines a little bit. No, it's not goat. From a novelty perspective, there is going to be that hard knocks factor. So people like Swift and we might even see Goff move up a little bit to me. Somebody feels like a bench quarterback. So yeah, people, it's real that hard knocks effect. Like it actually affects ADP. Like it's fun to watch every single year. We'll see what it does. The road to glory taken Trey Lance this late. Also very loose. Hey, that's one of my Scott and he was saying the Murray Brown stack jail. Did you get the Murray Brown stack? Did you get more? I don't worry. No, he's still on the board. Wait, so Joe, your quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes, Justin and Kyler Murray. Yeah. Yeah, I think you've got you'll have the best quarterback scores probably. This is the wonkiest. This doesn't even make sense. I think I think it's probably the worst team I've ever drafted. My team is a dying goat. Just like my my goat impersonation. I can't. I don't want to scream that jail in a one quarterback league. Would you ever draft three quarterbacks and then make it less extreme too? Are you open to drafting two in a one quarterback redraft league? So this obviously has weird rules that we're following here, but in your normal draft, you don't have to go by division. Um, no, I will draft two quarterbacks in a one QB League. I will almost never draft more than two. And I that second one is coming at the usually at the very end of the draft. I'm not usually messing with with with getting a second QB and oftentimes I like to just skip the QB in the draft and then just pick up a streaming QB. If I went if I got a QB good enough, if a cute good enough QB fell to me later in the draft, then I'm fine. Just just waiting and then picking somebody up during the waiver week. Yeah, during the waiver week during the waiver that one week of waivers, I'm with you for the most part, but I'm not opposed to drafting two quarterbacks, especially if you wait in a one quarterback league. And especially if one of those guys is a like a high upside player going late, maybe like maybe you take one of these these rookie super late and just see what happens. I know rookie quarterbacks don't worry about but maybe grab a Desmond writer and see if anything happens. Just like I'm fine with that at the end of the rounds. Joey, what about you? Yeah, I I am like Mr. Wait on quarterback. I love to do it. Let me see. Am I getting close to drafting now? Um, like this year, you're actually on the clock right now. Joey, no, I'm kidding crap. Yeah. And you've got three seconds left. Three seconds to 10 seconds. Oh, come at and oh, he was actually I thought you were just messing with him. Oh, no, he was for real on the clock. Like actually on the clock is so much more stressful to wait. Oh, I'm on St. Brown and Cole come out. Okay. Anyways, yeah, I love waiting on quarterback. Um, like right now the QB 12 and 80 P is Matthew Stafford. Um, and I'm very happy to be the last person in my trap to take a quarterback if it's Matthew Stafford and then a couple rounds later since I waited, I've got a pretty good. We'll say first, you know, Matthew Stafford is going around eight, nine. So my first seven picks have been quarterback or running backs and wide receivers. So I've built a good base. I can grab somebody like Simon said, like a Jalen Hurts or not Jalen Hurts. Oh, but I just forget the bears quarterback name. How can I do that? Justin Justin field. You can grab Justin Fields or Tray Lance that you're really excited about seeing or a Tua. Um, so I like streaming. It's a tandem quarterback strategy. I loved it in that. Yep. I'm right there with you, man. I just realized we only have. I only have two picks left. We all have only two picks left or is it three? Nope. One, two, three, four. I lied to everyone. It's 20 rounds, not 18 rounds. Um, what is this? My first draft. Yeah. You knew here. But I just feel like I just dropped a Tyler Algear. I feel like in a six man league, Tyler Algear should not be drafted even in the 16th round, but here I am. Here I am. There's wide receivers that I like better, but I don't need another wide receiver. I have nine good wide receivers. I feel like like I'm fairly happy with my wide receiver core, but yes, all of them. I'm excited to see the results of this lead at the end of the season. Like it might just be the three of us at the bottom. No, I think I think my team's good. You know, yeah, we've been like quietly. I feel like your team, we haven't pulled up Joey. Let's, uh, let's pull up your team and take a peek at this. I like it. Tell us, tell us what you like about it. Joey, what about this? Did you pull it up? Yeah, I mean, I have the MVP and probably this year's MVP is quarterback. So that's nice. Um, I have Mike, uh, running back five and running back seven. So I'm great with that with Montgomery and Dobbins to back it up and then my receiver core. Look at that chase. Do you want to say Johnson, Rashad Bateman? I've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven wide receiver ones on my team. I'm on a race. I'm on a race. Hey, Brown, that might not be true. The captain season. What? That's some good counting. Yeah. But no, I mean, all those guys are wide receiver ones for their team and they're going to get the target. I love it. I love it. And then my tight ends, Andrews and Hawkinson. Let's go and commit. Super big. I do like that a lot. Oh, where did I go? I turn my camera off for a second and then I just screamed to draft him at the top of my life. Trapped him. I was, I've got fat thumbs and I always miss the little plus button and I like just start pushing things. But I grabbed my second quarterback probably fairly early. James Winston, I was debating between James Winston and Tom earned a Matt Ryan, but went with James Winston there. I feel like upside wise. It's very confusing. Feels like the ADP is way off. You know, what's interesting is I'm scared. Romeo dubs past Christian Watkins Christian Watson on a Vandals ADP today. Really? They're just because of all the just because of all the preseason height. It's yep. Today it happened. That's why. Okay. What is this game? Or said that sounded like a goat in an electric chair by the way. Well done, JL. Yeah, I mean, goat probably had had done some pretty bad stuff to get in that electric chair. So I don't feel that bad about it. I was trying to come up with a goat fun on the spot like a goat crime pun and I couldn't piece it together. I feel like it's there. It's sitting there in the can because go to you can. Okay. There we go. That's one he was a baby. Good. I can't think of anything. JL you love puns. That's your bread and butter. What? You love puns. You can probably come up with one on the spot. No, I can't. Just kidding. I have seen this account on Twitter start popping up more and more. It's like a pun only account. And every time I see one JL I sell like I get why you hate puns every single one of them. I'm like, that's not funny. That's stupid. I don't I don't hate puns. You hate them so much. I hate easy stupid puns. I hate low hanging fruit puns puns. I've heard a thousand times. I mean, Craig doesn't need to attack him. Craig does great puns. Yeah. Craig does incredible. Dare you. We are not talking about Craig right now. Yeah. Craig. Ruth. Cry. Reg. Crying Ruth. JL Hunter M for a taking from you can't draft them now. It's okay. You cannot with my my fourth QB spot here. I'm going Russell Wilson. Let's go. Woo woo woo. JL has so many quarterbacks. Oh yeah. None for you suckers. I got three, but they're not as good as yours. I've got okay. Now we need to go tight and no, no, no. And I'm going to look at scamper. See, I'm going to win this league. I think where are all of the tight ends? Oh my God. This is disgusting. Let's go up your butt. Evan Ingram. I speaking of camp reports. Those camp reports have been ones that I haven't liked seeing, but I'm not letting it affect my like like where I'm drafting him too much. He's a late round flyer anyways. We know like this isn't new. It's not surprising necessarily. So, um, I'm still drafting an Ingram around where I was drafting this is early. This is probably early. You're done. Yep. Oh my God. It's the last pick. I didn't even realize. No, there's still QB is the draft. Oh wait, I only took. Okay. I got three quarterbacks. I'm good. How many tight ends do I have? I only have two tight ends and they have different biowakes. Okay, good. But I'll take one more. I'll take Mr. Austin Hooper at the end of my draft to go with it. You know what? I don't, I don't hate my team, but I don't hate my team. If this was like a 10 team league, this is a six team league, but like I'm looking at the same. I'm like, you know what? This is pretty good. Pretty good. Kind of forces some stacks, right? Like we got all the stacks because we had to. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Derek Carr. Let's go. Mr. irrelevant. I mean, not Mr. Elements, my Mr. Elements. Mm hmm. I see NBA in here. So it's Simon J. L. Joey, you guys make football fun. Thank you for this awesome. You try. I love it. Have fun day. NBA, you make this fun. Honestly, everybody here in the chat. You guys make it fun. You all make it fun for us. Oh, you guys crack me up every single day. We come here for you guys to do thing for us. You're providing value to us. It's just like therapy. It saves us a ton of money. Oh, and we got the last pick. The last pick. Mr. Scammers are going to be scams. Who's it going to be? Who was it? Oh, we don't know. We can look. Mind out next week. Hunter Henry first pick. Who was the 20th pick? Jalen told bear was 20th. They're there like it. Let's let's take a gander at these teams and see which one we like the best. Try to be objective. So we got JLs with five quarterbacks. What a quarterback lineup you've got there. JL the best quarterbacks line up here. Tyler Murray, Russell Wilson and Derek Carly. You've got six running backs. Austin Eckler, Kenneth Walker is your RB two cam acres. Josh Jacobs, Kareem Hunt and Clyde Edwards. How are you feeling about that? That running backwards. Very hero, hero RB. Like that's what ended up happening here. It looks like. Yeah, it's it's fine. I could piece this together. I could I could turn this into a league winning team. Not a doubt in my mind. And plus as our good friend, Josh always says trading makes man stay fun. And as your good friend, Joshua on your team, always says you got quite a deal on a potential RB one and Josh Jacobs. I love that. That's true. That's true. Then a wide receiver. You got Cooper Cup, Devonte Adams, Keenan Allen. Who else you got? Mike Williams, DK Metcalf, Marquise Brown and Geary Judy. I this is a great way to see record even for like that too. Yeah. Yeah. This this is a great way to see record and then Travis Kelsey and Zach are it's a tight and I like my team. Get out of here. I was down on it until I looked at it. That's nice for drafting so many quarterbacks. You put together one hell of a team. I mean, but what the hell are you going to do? Like pass up on the value on those guys. You got, you got like three of the top five quarterbacks, four of the top 10 quarterbacks, five top 12 quarterbacks every week. It would be so much fun watching you start the wrong one every week. Oh my God. It would be so much joy like an anxiety inducing decision every single week, which one, which one, which one. Oh God. Then Joey, your quarterback room. Like not messing around either. Now that we're looking at it. Lamar Jackson, Aaron. I took three cousins. Yeah. So you're lacking a little bit there. Jail, as you beat on volume. Yeah. That's your back. Um, but you're running backs. I feel like it's where this team really shines. Are you happy with how that turned out? I really am. Um, and I like clue Herbert a lot. There's a lot of news coming out about, uh, there being more of a split in Chicago and if something happens on a Montgomery. Woo. Little Herbert. It's getting tons of work. Also a lot of receivers do while we're looking at your team, NBA said Joey's King switch t-shirt is very unique. Love it. I know Joey loves his King switch shirt as well. And, uh, Craig, you're saying I don't like my team, but I also only forced myself to try and snipe that and being on Twitch for my wild cards for today. He came wild, Craig. Just absolutely wild. And Mrs. Gabers says I got the worst division had to double check her teams were there. Cheated with CMC being a Panthers fan. You didn't. She still had it. It your wide receivers. I feel like Joey, it doesn't have this. Like it doesn't scream the like high end value that you're running backs do, but you got great value on these guys late Darnell Mooney, a Mari Cooper, I'm in Ross St. Brown. It's a, it's a pretty stacked core right there. I mean, I ran it down earlier. Seven wide receiver ones for their teams. Like one, two, three, fantastic. Four, five, six, every round QB. That's me. I am, I am the, I am the nemesis of the late round QB. You're pioneering that strategy, right? Screw you, JJ. Absolutely pioneering this. Coming for you. Coming for you and your brand. It's like a peek at this team. I'm not to throw to the Tom Brady, James Winston, Matt Ryan, a quarterback. I got three in a six man league. I'm not thrilled with those quarter. I feel like both of you guys, most other teams in this league have a better quarterback platoon, but there's some, there's some upside, I guess. Hey, Simon, the stores open for business. Yeah, stores open for business. I'll reach out to jail every round QB. You got, you got all of them. Send me your mediocre overstocked running back, not thrilled, but I guess it could be worse. Derek Henry, Leonard Forna, Alvin, Travis, ETN, beautiful running back. It's, it's pretty good, but in a six man league. I like, I feel like I forgot Derek Henry. Oh, Derek Henry's the man that first round. I was hoping to get JT or CMC, but neither one of them made it to pick force. But Derek Henry, that's, this is a true statistic. Derek Henry scored more points, fantasy points than Jonathan Taylor in one single half that Jonathan Taylor did all season. It's true. We can look it up. Yeah. Yeah, that's incredible. He was the rushing yards leader in five minutes, just a quarter. And then a wide receiver. I'm actually very happy with this wide receiver core, especially in a best ball league. The receivers are sexy. Top heavy up here, but that's the strength of this team. And then I like my tight ends, but again, I would love them if this was a 12 team league in a 16 league, Evan Ingram and Austin Hoover probably aren't even worth draft picks usually. Yeah, but in a 12 team league, I would love that right there. I don't even know in a 16 draft that they're worth the draft picks, but maybe like a 20 round 16. Yeah, that's what I'm saying is like, I think they wouldn't have been drafted if I didn't have to follow this strategy. Maybe I might have grabbed one of them because I liked them as lead round guys, but they were still guys on the board ahead of them that we love. I was going to see if we could look back at who's left in the queue, but we cannot. Um, we can, um, you know, and the Mr. Scamper's claimed, you know, the road to glory was sniping us the entire time. Before we jump off, I would just want to take a pick at this team jail. They had your number. Grab one of your quarterbacks grabbed one of Mr. Scamper's quarterbacks and then one of Joey's quarterbacks as well. Mac Jones, Joey, are you sad you couldn't get Mac Jones? No, not at all. I have a Mac Jones wasn't involved for me. I was the North and that is East and that is not your quarterback. But it's pretty far north. It's pretty far north, right? That's why I got confused right there. It's not geography. It's just divisions running backs. I like this running back for Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mixon, Javante Williams, Tony Pollard. Um, then the white man. Oh, boy. Oh, I loved it. And then I saw Alan Robinson. Amazing. Even better. Love it. I thought you were going to say you didn't like Alan Robinson. I was like, you loved Alan Robinson. The Vapors. This is this is a team right here. Yeah. This is a team. I don't, you know what? I thought maybe you were just talking big game, talking smack and I think you might have the team to beat in this league. Oh, but those tight ends. Yeah. The tight ends, but they got three of them and three guys who can score on any given week. Um, I'm pretty happy with that. Guys, everybody who drafted with those many, Mr. Scampers and Craig. I know you guys were the ones drafted with us. Then everybody else in the chat. Thank you so much for joining us today for this mock draft. Um, NBA and you're seeing the Fandall app is super slick and easy to use better than other ones. I've experienced in previous years. No one even has NBA to say that. Just come in and let us know. And they just launched it too. So I bet you it's going to get a lot better. It's fresh already. It's just going to get fresher and fresher and fresher. You never launch with like your best thing. You know, you put it out there and then you build on it. Exactly. If we have to launch with their best thing, they added me on months after. Exactly, Joey. Exactly. I thought you were going to say now go back and watch our original, our first streams. Don't do not go back and watch this. Maybe we should delete it. Great. I go back and watch them once a month just to humble myself. No, I mean, just remember where you came from, Simon. Remember where you came from. You were awkward. If anybody ever wants to be like a. Wow, how far have they come? Like, I'm going to put out a video where just like it, you know, shows the old one and then just shows the new one. Yeah. Also, I think Spencer is excited to see us. Sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup. Spencer, but that's good. Thanks for all those steps and bye because we're about to leave, but everybody.

Come on, Phil! Come on, Phil! It's about a second. We didn't have a rehearsal, sir. Close the door. Close one for a walk, alright? Come on. Alright! That is fucking it! Take my ass! It's just you to squeeze your bullets! As our father-in-law scored when they put the wires on my bullets! That's the problem with an all-wish law. And speaking of our bullets, let's talk about how we each thought about this project the very first time, how we knew about it, and 007 down there at the end, Sam Jones, tell us how you discovered that you were up for the part. It was probably a year of process for me. I think Dino called me. I was working with Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews on this movie called Ten. There was nothing more, nothing more. And I had one line, an entire movie. And Belly said in my first interview with Dino, he said, who are you looking for right now? And I said, well, Blake Edwards, Julie Andrews, and Belly didn't work. Really? I didn't tell him I only had one line of dialogue. So we had our first meeting, many months went by, we had another meeting, and then finally, many months later, he flew me to London. I think we did 30 days of screen testing, and then one day he looked at me and he just pointed at me. I assumed that was his communication of, okay, you got the part. That's how I found out. So it was probably a year. So for Mike, when did it sort of come into your atmosphere? When did you first find out about it? Well, Nicholas Rowe was going to make it originally. And then Dino was anxious to make a part two straight after. So Nick had suggested that I be the director to write the sequel. So I went in and I met Dino and I read the script and I just thought I was completely wrong. So I told him that. Then Nick and Dino fell out and then Dino pursued me to do the third film. I kept saying that I'm hopefully the wrong director for this film. He insisted. And it turned out you were perfect. Well, there was a very funny moment. I kept saying that. I'm not the right director. I don't think that's special effects. I didn't know that. So in the middle of the shooting we were now comfortably on our way and I turned to Dino and I said Dino, why did you choose me? And I was obviously sort of feeling out for a compliment. You're a great director. I worked with Fellini and people. Instead of which he turned to me and said nice. That's Dino. Where am I now making him? Multi-paper buster, and I'm doing it because he lied my face. Dino was a pesant. He was a delicious Italian pesant, you know, when he did everything and we were casting he said he was at the other end of the corridor and had heard somebody I thought might be good. He would come and my sister would go up and sell dinner. There was somebody he should look at But that's all it would do. He'd open the door, look at the actor, and go, he's up. Yeah. I mean, the actor, if it's Lawrence Olivia, anybody, he'd just look at everything that's done. Look, I've told him, you know, if he was flying, he saw the pilot, and he'd check out. If he didn't like the look of me, he wouldn't go on the plane. Anyway, I'm grateful that he liked the look of me. So I had a wonderful time in the end. So, is anybody hearing from this? Yeah. So George, how did you make this film? What was your first involvement with the film? This one? And will be when you speak. Yeah, perfect. Perfect. What was your first involvement with the film? The first involvement? I was working on a film called Shining. Oh, yeah. And we would come to an end. And Stanley Kubrick had this working 14 hours a day. So he took a look at the smoke. And I thought, oh, this is too much. And I heard that Splash had just started up for the second time. So I got through to the show in the studios, and I spoke to Bernie Williams. And I said, who's doing this first effects, Bernie? He said, nobody. He said, well, I can't get anybody. He said, the industry's too busy. I just need somebody. Because we've got this big American coming over from MGM. He's got five Oscars called Glenn Robinson. And we need an English special effects man to work with him. So I said, oh, if you like, I can do it. He said, when can you start? I said, well, I've got to give two weeks notice. He said, oh, I'll have a chat with the producer. I think Doug Twitty. So I said, oh, go and see Doug. And I asked Doug if I'm going to leave tomorrow. And Doug was very pleased because he got rid of me. He was looking at the money he was going to save. So I started in Flash Golden. And we went from there. Very nice. Melody, let's hear your story. How did it first get into your orbit? Well, I had actually auditioned for Flash Golden. And the part was given to another beautiful lady. And, you know, I didn't go on a bunch of business life. I was gone. And I'm in New York. I'm just there for one week. I'm visiting my boyfriend. And we're having morning coffee and following. And I hear, Melody, me and all. What? Yes. I decided you were not in a great day of art. In New York in the night of 10. I went, what? I had no idea. It was long off my radar by then. And I flew out that night. And I arrived in the morning with, some people took me into a very odd room and shaved the front line of my hair. Died my hair black. And had to put on the costume. I think I exercised that week. And I went in there and they did it and we started. I didn't have a chance to breathe. So it was, I had no preparatory time whatsoever. So it was a pretty wild, radical thing that happened in my life. And I really appreciate it. And I want to thank all the wonderful guys and everybody in this cast we had. And we were very blessed. And to have it happening 35 years later, it's a, I'm frightened to talk about this. I'm not going to talk into it. I'm going to just tell you right now. That's my film at the end. So anyway, that's my story. So Howard, you've got a very interesting story of how you came to the film. Because there's a lot of folks that are involved in the film that couldn't be here tonight and that are no longer with us. Well, they just couldn't physically be here. And there's no one here from the band Queen, obviously. And Freddie was a big part of that band. And he told me a fascinating story earlier about the collaboration between the band and yourself and making the rest of the soundtrack. And I'd love to hear that again, but I'm sure they would. Yes. I mean, I don't know how I got into this film, really. Rather the same as everybody else. And I'd curiously now also work for Blake Edwards and Julie. Because I was musical director on Victor Victoria, which is about just before that. But actually how it happened was that the engineer at CTS went, well, that's John Richards, he's a very, very great engineer. He recorded all the bottom films. And we worked together a lot. And he ran me one Thursday afternoon. I was quite at their home in Barnes and he said, are you doing it any much? And I said, no, I'm not too much. He said, could you get over to CTS? He said, I've got a few people here, like the head of Universal and Dean. I went to see the group Queen. I said, just a minute. I mean, that sounds like quite a gathering. He said, well, can you get over here fast? So I said, well, what do you want me to do? He said, we'll tell you when you get there. Drobo, up to Wembley. And as Dean and I made a deal, and he said, I've got the 50 million pound here, and I'm playing the money. And I said, what's that got to do with me? He's a terrible interest every week. And I said, we have a, we've got a lot of money booked here for two weeks, but we haven't got any music. I said, well, that's the problem. He said to anyone that was the fact of the matter, but he hadn't got any music. And quite how that happened is quite a, Queen thought they could do it, but in fact, I think they didn't really come up. They came up with something, by the way. In fact, I won't go into that. He said, this was Thursday afternoon. He said, could you write a new score for the entire hall by Monday? So I said, well, I said, I think if you got Beethoven, and Kaczakowski, and everybody else all into the room, and they all worked, they couldn't do it by Monday. But anyway, we talked about it, and they said also, we want to fit the stuff the Queen has done into a score, but we want a classical score. We want to have a huge score with a big orchestra. So anyway, I gradually got choked into it. And I remember Dana, I said to her, he said, what do we do with the orchestra for two weeks? It's cost a fortune. I said, well, you'll have to pay them off. He said, well, you're now the musical director. That's your fault. He said, no, don't. Sorry, it was all like that. Anyway, I said it would take a month, at least to write a song. He did it in 10 days. I didn't intend to do it. He did. He had pneumonia. I nearly died doing that. What in fact happened was this, they agreed on four weeks, and then the sound editor decided, go on holiday, and I got the timings, and then this and that happened, and behind it, and then I've got to do the contract. My agent was arguing about that. By the time I sat down, all the time, two of the weeks had gone, and I remember sitting down there, and I thought, I don't know how I'm going to do this, but I started writing, and I realised that it was the most colossal job to write. I was writing for 85 piece August, and in those days you're writing the Impencil in a school. And I didn't have time to play the piano. All I had time to do was write. So, in fact, I ran out of time, and eventually the time was actually a full 10 days, and the last four of those 10 days, I didn't go to sleep. I went out to the end of those four weeks. No, it's a terrible story. No, it's a great story, and it's a testament to everything that everyone's been saying about how this movie was, like I said earlier, this confluence of strange events that brought it together, and sometimes very improvised. But let's move on here to Peter. Peter, how do you first come into your... I'm going to use this. I picked up something, aren't I? Yes. Okay, I can take it. You can have it back. Howard, you can take it with you when you're done. If you hadn't told me this evening that the first time we met, I was doing a television where I was playing Brunel, and I couldn't learn the lines. I found it very difficult to learn the lines. It was full of mathematics and commas and mathematical problems. So I said, could I have a teleprompter? And that's who it was. It was my caution. Yeah, he was teleprompting. So I think that's how it came about. The circle took place, though, didn't it? Thank you very much. Very nice. And then along came Brian Pleasant. I mean, it was a faker company. There was no fucker else in the way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's true. They have to be true. In those days, I looked in the mirror, I see my face, my beard, my eyes, and I think, Biden got your sexy. Guy, for this! I won't go to my childhood. I saw it buster-crabby. It was wonderful. It altered me. Yorkshire, son of a co-minder. I pretended to be... I pretended to be a whole man jumping down the embankments in front of the flying scots and all that. So I always wanted to play. And when I heard they were going to do it after an eye-clawdice at the time, they said, well, there's no end to my talent. It wasn't different. All of a sudden. They wanted to play. I went to Elstree and Brooklyn and Godnard as well. And I would say all the time that Mike was always kind and sweet. When I was training there, I met Tina for the first time. Look, Tina, you don't be like me. Okay? And you're a great kid. And you're as good as that mother-big-spine I like it. If you were a bad kid, then I want you to have a sword. I said, what's a fucking sword? A sword! I know what a sword is. It's supposed to be the most powerful man. Anyway, I've both of me very powerful men. I said, to show his power, he must most of the time just use his fists. And that, like John Wayne. You know. But I haven't. Anyway, but anyway, I've had about three interviews. And I said, I'll tell you what, Tina, if you don't give me this part, I'll break your neck. I'll break your body. I'll tear your fuck off everything. No one wants to be like you. No one wants to be like you. And I see my life in my life. Mike was there and said, it's all right, Brian. I'm sure you're going to play it. You don't have to hurt him, Brian. You're going to play it. And of course, I was cast in it. To give an example, I mean, there is a sequel in it in which we attack Rocketship Ajax. Mike was there. One of the rehearsals we had all the time. I love the stunt men. I always adore the stunt, stunt artists. They're all of me. All the lads are in it. Tina, everybody, we're all in it. And I'm there waiting. And of course, he took my three days to get the dynamite together, especially next to the monsters. So I'll winger it up in your pocket. That's it, then, I think. I'm flapping Mike doing it. And great flapping wins. And so forth. And then they remember them saying, Stem Mike said, I run in Brian. And I just great Bazooka. But he also made a carport. And I came down. Samai! And I said, Scotland 40. Come on, flesh. I'll go. Who wants silly forever? Dave and Dollywood. What wins? Mike said, cut, cut, cut. Ryan, we put in the special effects. It was fantastic. Everybody just worked perfectly. I played for Justin, three musketeers. And he did that. And he did that. What do you want to do? I want to sit down. We'll get that. Well, now that we've got Bollocks, Cocks and Tits, we'll get them. We've got that out of the way. Trevor, what was it like working with Ryan? Can I say any more? You've only ever got that long? That was fantastic. I mean, he used to be a joker all the time. What? Come on. The last to dance is a queen. Yes. It's a famous one. The last to sit down is Queen. It's Sam and me working. I can't remember. Ted Cowell? Yes. Ted Cowell was called the Bureau. And he had his broken nose. Yes, he did. And he was a rugby player. He was, yeah. He had a pomegranate leaf. He had a passion for pomegranate leaf. That's a pomegranate leaf. He kept all the film, the flash calls, on all the balls. And he was playing all the time in his pub. He's the loviest bearer. He's the last character on the poster to your left right here. Speaking of other characters, and back to some people who couldn't be here tonight, I'll throw some names out. Whoever wants to jump in with a story, feel free. But let's start with Ornela Mouti. Anybody want to say anything about working with her? I've got Ornela Mouti. First of all, she was a ball. And she and I got along so well. And when we had the, and she's Italian. And when we had the, there's a menu. And we had, at the opening in 1980, she came in and the Duchess of Kent was going through the line and we were doing our royal vows. And the Duchess of Kent goes to him and says, oh, how nice to meet you. What was it like being, you know, having to case down one who wasn't a human being? And Ornela goes like this because, you know, she's hearing all this stuff at a time. Beep, beep, I'm gonna beep. Ornela, she means human person. Oh, I thought she meant me. I loved her. We had a fight scene with the pillows. I'm telling you, we had a ball. We just, we got along great. In fact, she came back to LA when I was living there and I went to visit her. And then I didn't work and she became famous. Okay, so... We'll move right along to Timothy Dalton who played Prince Baron. Anyone at all. Okay, Tim bought Dalton. I was bought there by myself. You know, everybody had a partner. And I was, you know, and I love playing pathetic anyway because you get nice presents and free alcohol. And he was so nice to me. And he knew I, and I don't know his situation. He would have me over. We only had one day off a week, a Sunday. And he would have me over to his house and have brunch. And he was so nice to me. He really helped me get through. And no, thank you, thank you. And before you leave, I want you. He was a gentleman and very kind to me. Brian, did you have any, thank you, thank you. I thought you liked sex abuse. I know he's not here to defend himself. I'll like speaking behind his back. No, I wanted sex abuse. Is it all right to tell that story where I'm playing? There were quotes. I never had a chair. And so, they built me a perch. I had these wings on my back. these wings on my back, it took half an hour to screw them on, but I couldn't sit down, so they don't be a perch, and all the camera crews went, they keep on, they keep on. We had the attention girls, I was like, we've been around ten weeks, you're the Roman dork. Yes. The attention girls were there all white, and I just darbed makeup on, black and yellow really, and so forth. And I was like, come on, I'll go around. And the leading lady of the attention girls, the girl called Manga, oh I do know enormous tits. I took her in his arms, and she was almost like, oh, God, I've got to have a... She's so gorgeous, she's gorgeous. And he found these huge tits. And eventually she edged her way towards me, and then all the other girls came along inside her, and they came towards me, and one of the girls said, excuse me, Brian, Manga, she thinks you're lovely, and you could see you was a caveman. What? I said, I can't, I've taken half an hour to get the makeup off, but I've taken an hour to unscrew my wings. I've taken somebody in her white makeup, and so forth. I said, absolutely bloody hopeless love, you know. I said, but Timothy don't squeeze her, and he looks like Errol Flynn. She said, she doesn't like him. But I wish for him, maybe, that she would want me to drag her across the floor, if she fancied me as a caveman, and hit her with a cap. I've never worked that one out at all. Well, that's not... Anyway, Timothy was awfully, awfully sweet. He's a great guy, and we had to... I was trying. Mike was the boss. That's right. And he let me do what the bloody ally liked, which I loved. So I could do anything I bloody wanted, which is absolutely lovely. You know, I mustn't... You never knew who was going to come on the set. You know, an elbow team came on with Fellini. Fellini was a little person. He was announced by the second assistant, Deep Roy! Calling Deep Roy! And the cyclist, Long King. I expected to see Geronimo sitting born. And Long King, Deep Roy, was about 34 inches high. And he came on. His little dwarf, he sat alongside me. He said, I'm not a midget. He said, I'm not a dwarf. I'm perfectly formed. I was meant to ask him, how big was his car? So I... Well, I just don't like... I... I... I... And where it goes? How big? Most of your material on screen was with Max Funcita, who also couldn't be here tonight. So what was it like working with that marvelous actor, and being his right-hand man in the film? Max. Max Funcita, yes. One of the great actors. I mean, his versatility was extraordinary. I loved what he did. And Onela, you've had a lot of scenes with Onela. Beautiful. Navish. Terrific. Well, I mean, it was crazy about the one name. You were switching their way between... I mean, so what? Very powerful. Maybe... Now that we've all felt relaxed, we've gotten to know each other, let's go down the road quickly. And for the performers, the line that you get asked to quote the most that might do you anywhere, in the streets, anywhere it should be. So, Sam, what do you get asked the most? Well, it's probably a toss-up between This Means A Psycho to Flash Gordon, New York Jets. What do you get asked to say? Well, it's Go Flash Go. Flash, we only have 14 hours. Do you get asked to quote the film at all? Your character in lines? Do people come up to you, strangers, and ask you to quote any lines, any dialogue from the film? Are you talking to me? Yes, I'm sorry. I could follow the weather. I should have said your name again, I'm so sorry. Do I remember any lines? Do people ask you to repeat any lines? Any fans? Any favorite lines? I think Peter sets up the whole film. In fact, the practice doesn't answer the meaning at the beginning he says, I just, I'm bored. What plain thing have you got for me today? And he said, there's something in the XK and he said, and he said, and he said, and he said, and the people there call it Eugh. Eugh. Thank you, thank you. And what is memorable from Peter? Brian, I have a feeling. I have a feeling I might know what the line is. I can't think of anything. It'll come back to me, but if you think of it, if you'd like to say it. I don't know if... I went about I'll drink a big thing and I came down in the street on behalf of Wales and things like that. I got there very early and came to the gates and called all the policemen Blembs, which they love. You're all Blembs, they love it. So I went to the gates. I was opposite number 10. I was there half an hour early and you can't go to the Prime Minister comes and after about half an hour you have to be on the shoulder. Hello, Brian. You're also about 18. I'd explain how I'd drink. I can't go in, I'd say. You go in, I have to wait for you to go in. And they said, it'd be for a walk and so on. And he made me a cup of coffee and a little omelet, a simple omelet. And then he took me. And there was a whole government and there was a whole committee and so forth. And he said, well, Brian, please. Would you do it? I said yes. And I stood on the chair and I stood on the table with the whole select committee and the whole cameras and he said, GORION TODAY! Yay! I mean, the question is, is that it? I'm not too sure that that's what's going on. So let's, and did you, I figured it's a bit of a ask you to do anything that like you know, when they see you and they quote things and they're coming at you all the time and things. Why am I flying all the time? I said, I mean, don't fly here. No, I mean, it was a great experience with GORION. Was he like this? He was wrestling that. It's fucking down. It's still noisy. So the film gets through, you know, it's, I do have a question about the language barrier. I mean, this was this amazing, you know, soup that was going on. You had the international cast, you had, you know, Lorenzo Semple doing the script with Dino, I think, thinking comic book style, thinking 66 Batman, which had, I don't want to use this word, but everyone always talks about the camp, you know, aspect of it, which I don't think, but there are bits there, but was there a language barrier between Dino and Lorenzo and the cast and the crew and Mike with the crew. You mentioned something earlier, Mike, about the language barrier, things taking a bit longer. Was that a major issue throughout the production? No, not really. I mean, Dino Donati who did the costumes and the sets, who's brilliant. I mean, the wonderful design, the wonderful Ines films. I mean, he spoke very little English, and I'm not sure he ever read the script. Basically I and the gorgeous Hulk and his team are my wonderful crew. I really have to improvise. So I just, I, normally I keep a very tight, you know, tight, around a very tight ship, and I realize that I was just going to have to relax and see what they came up with. When I was there on the day, and then I went with the help of everybody else improvise. And I think that's partly why the films got this kind of lightness. It's a bit like a souffle. It's not over-produced at all. So a lot of it was accidents and things that occurred as you go along. The other day I was, I remember for example when Ming put six the sword into the prints at the beginning as they might forget. And I thought, why is blood red? And I said, why don't we have blue blood? He's an aristocrat, so we'll have blue blood. And in Arborio, when the young man's bitten by the thing, I had green blood, you know. So there's a big article coming out in Empire, and I thought I'd better look on the website to see what's on them. Somebody in there said, oh, we caught this director. He's continuity eras all the way through it. There's red blood and there's green blood. They really thought he fucked up there. It was abstract. What about those costumes? Everyone talks about how heavy those costumes were. And Peter, you would talk about how heavy the costume was. And you couldn't stand up for long. You had to rest on the wall because it was so heavy. Had you worked in much experience with a full mask like that before? In anything? In any productions? Have I been in the last before? Yes, for the length of a character. I remember that. Yes, I remember. It was very difficult because it was so black and you could have to sort of transform something, which is very difficult to do. But it was a challenge. You did it wonderfully, right everybody? So there's a lot of craziness going on with the production and then things start to wrap up and then it gets a release. And I think at the time I'd imagine Universal and Dino were all hoping for a trilogy at least. I mean this was the age of Star Wars and we wanted to see more of this sort of adventure. So what sort of happened? What happened with the release? Melody, you've got a great story about and Mike as well about the marketing and everything and the difference between how it was experienced and appreciated in America versus Europe and Asia and places like that. Melody, I love you guys. Melody. She's not right. I was full. Her film was a huge hit in Asia and Africa, found down here throughout the continent and in England. And it did well in the United States but for some reason and Mike says this very well, which I would not pass. In the United States the poster was mean space, not flash Gordon. And of course me was not going to be someone who did the promotion. And so nobody knew, you know, got to associate like with Batman, Christian Bale and all that to associate whatever you say. That's right.

almost 8 in 10 autistic people have a diagnosed mental health condition, which is quite astonishing, that can be anything from anxiety to depression to all the other kind of things that that that would cover. There's also quite a worrying statistic around thinking about suicide, about 6 in 10 people, so it's more than half, it's more likely that autistic people would consider suicide. There's also a very concerning statistic around 3 in 10 autistic people, autistic adults have attempted suicide. There are some statistics around sort of more younger life childhood experiences, but I don't think it's something that I want to go into much because I know even for me, you know, it's something that I talk about and it's something that I've experienced, but even for me it was it was quite hard to read some of the stats around that.

Race and Racism in the 2016 Presidential Election
The 2016 Presidential election brought issues of race and racism to the forefront of American politics and forced journalists to confront how to cover these topics without providing a platform for hate groups. Slate chief political correspondent and CBS News political analyst Jamelle Bouie joined MIT Communications Forum director Seth Mnookin to explore how race and ethnicity framed the election and how journalists and content creators can improve coverage of these issues moving forward.

Hello, sorry, that wasn't a call and response. My name is Seth Manukin. I'm the director of the communications forum. Thank you all very much for coming out today. Before we start, a couple of quick announcements. One, we have a mailing list over here. Please sign up for it. We will only send you notices about upcoming communications forums, so you will not be spammed by us. And we try and schedule three pretty interesting forums this semester. Our next one this semester is on sexual harassment and covering sexual harassment in science and some scandals that have cropped up over the last couple of years. This forum is also cosponsored by Radius at MIT. Unfortunately, the people from Radius could not be here tonight because they're out of town at the conference, but we're very grateful to them. And tonight, I'm going to be speaking with Jamel Buie. Jamel is the chief political correspondent for Slate and a political analyst for CBS News. He's a former staff writer at The Daily Beast and a writing fellow at the American Prospect Magazine. And his work has also appeared in the New Yorker The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Nation, and many other places. I've been a fan of Jamel's for many years and was absolutely thrilled when he agreed to come here. So please join me in welcoming Jamel. So for those of you for whom this is your first forum, the structure is we have a conversation for roughly an hour, and then we have questions from the audience for roughly an hour. When you ask questions, I'll ask you to come up to the microphone, not because we can't hear you, but because this is recorded for people who can't make it and want to listen to it later. And they won't be able to hear your questions unless you speak into the microphone. So I want to start actually by just asking a little bit about your career. I know you were not someone who majored in journalism or did journalism in college. So how did you get involved in journalism? Yeah. First, thank you all for coming. I'm always impressed by people who come out to talks on school nights. I did not do that in college or anything, so bullied all of you. Yeah, so in college, I studied government and philosophy. And I think my impression, my last year of school, I went to the University of Virginia. My impression was that I would go to law school, which is what UVA kids do. Or I would get a grad degree and do policy work or something like that. But I graduated in 2009. And my last two years of school, of course, were the 2008 presidential primaries in the election. And I've always been kind of a politics nerd. And so I think in late 07, I decided to start a blog because that's what people were doing at the time and kind of kept up this blog following the election in Virginia for a long time, for like all through my third year, through my fourth year. And after I graduated, I kept on writing the blog. And the readership kind of got up. And I started getting offers to write freelance pieces. And of course, this means 500 words here or there for like $50, right? Right. But which would be high these days. Right, right. That would be, you know, that would be a princely sum. But these days, they would just not pay you. But through that, I ended up meeting not just editors and such other writers and through kind of like basically networking, like all of us kind of for all sort of college age and we all just graduated and we're all writing. Let's kind of share information and share leads for people who are looking for work. And through all of this, I'd heard about the American Prospects writing fellowship. And so I applied for it just around the same time I was, the job I had was just sort of like an administrative job at the university. That was at the Miller Center. The Miller Center of Public Affairs at UVA. They were about to fire me, which no hard feelings they did. Because of something you had done? No, no, no, just because they didn't have money to pay me anymore. So I was like, sorry, Jamel, but you had to run out of the job. So I was about to lose that job. And I was applying for the American Prospect position. And they hired me. And so when you started out, were you covering a certain beat? How did you figure out what to write about at the start? At the start. So the writing fellowship is an interesting program because there aren't very many ones like it. I think in magazine journalism, at least, it is a kind of, it's not an internship. It's a fully paid, with benefits, like staff job, more or less. But reserved for people who have little to no journalism experience, and usually people who are either just out of college or just at a grad school. And the idea of it is that you'll kind of just learn how to do this, learn how to be a journalist by doing and go from there. And so when I was hired, they basically were like, hey, midterm elections are happening this year. This is 2010. Cover them. If you need any help, any assistance or guidance, feel free to ask. But we're sure you can figure it out. They threw you into the deep end. Yeah. It was very frustrating for the first year and a half. And one of my colleagues, who's a very good friend now, we got into, she was also my editor at the time. And I think we got into at least two screaming matches about sourcing. And it's sourcing because she felt like you weren't sourcing properly? Right. And I was like, what more do you want me to do? Was she correct? Oh, she's totally right. Yeah, and I was in the wrong 100% and I apologized to her. And so covering politics right off the bat and covering my, since 2008, I think the political coverage and the response to political coverage, both because of social media and because of the election of Obama, has been charged in a way that it has not always. I mean, when I covered the 2000 campaign, if people wanted to yell at me, they would have to send me a physical letter or find my email address somehow. That sounds wonderful. Yes, yeah. And I could either respond or not. The big debate then was whether to have comments on articles. But from the moment you started, you had this sort of instant, not only feedback, but a very healthy trolling culture. So what was that like? I mean, did that, for someone who had not been trained in journalism, was that off-putting? Was that? I honestly can't be that kind of trolling or just sort of nastiness has been such a part of my online life, professional life for so long at this point that I do not remember my initial reaction to it. You just take it for granted. Yeah, just like it exists in the world. I think I'm kind of, by disposition, hard to get a rise out of. And I think that helped being confronted with nasty trolling or attacks or such. I can kind of say, I'm not an actual person to them in some sense. I'm this abstraction that they really disagree with. And so I've learned how to not take it very personally. And since then, again, it's just kind of a daily part of the job, especially writing about racial inequality and all these things that get people very upset and very angry. And so why do you think it is that you were able to have this sort of thick skin from right off the bat and not respond to? I mean, I haven't gone back and looked at people who were trolling you in 2010. But what I imagine are oftentimes pretty personal attacks or comments. That's a good question. I mean, some of it, again, is dispositional. And that just reflects my upbringing. My parents from the military had kind of a military-ish upbringing, kind of learned at an, it was drilled into me at an early age to disregard, for lack of a better word, bullshit. Right. You're a lot to swear here. OK, OK, OK. Oh, no. We had Leslie. You're ready. We had Leslie Jones here over the weekend. So the barrier to what's acceptable has gone down. OK, all right. And yeah. So there's that. There's just the extent to which some of the stuff you can almost laugh about, and this is something. And I should say, right, that I get a lot of trolling, but sort of the tenor of it is different than, say, some of my women colleagues who, the attacks that face them are very personal and are usually sexually charged and kind of involve some threat of harm worse for me. It's like racial slurs, kind of you're dumb, that kind of stuff. And it's often poorly written. And it's often comical in a lot of ways. Controls aren't the most intelligent people online. And so it's a bit easier to kind of just shrug off or disregard. And if there happens to be a lot of it, you just leave the internet. Right, right. Is that something that you've ever considered, like leaving social media? Because I've gone through periods where, and I don't need to deal with a fraction of what you deal with. I don't write about politics most of the time. But I've taken sort of extended breaks just because the vitriol, I felt like it was starting to infect the rest of my life. Is that? Sometimes I'll just, I'll delete Twitter off of my phone. And I have a little app on my computer that only lets you broadcast a tweet, but you can't see anything else. And so if I need to like, That's brilliant. Tweet out a piece, I can just like do that and kind of leave it alone. Right. But then you get people who are furious with you because you haven't responded to them. Right, right. Who assume that because they've heard you on podcasts or read you and that you have some sort of friendship or relationship and so then get pissed when you're not fulfilling their expectations. And that's kind of the odd thing, I think, about digital journalism right now, especially for people who write with a voice. I'm not sure it's quite the same for people who are straight news reporters. Like a wire service, yeah. A wire service reporter, but for those of us who write with a voice, you're doing a lot of stuff. So you are writing and you have like usually a very distinctive writerly voice. You're podcasting, you're showing up on TV maybe, you're showing up on radio shows and it's entirely possible, right, for someone to kind of hear you and read you and experience you in all these different ways and like begin to have like a kind of relationship with you, but it's not really a relationship, right? Like I'm not, I don't know you, you don't know me. You know this like very tiny slice of, or modest slice of my life. And so I have, you know, people have emailed me like, hey, why don't you respond to my tweets? And it's like because I literally have no idea that you're sending me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right, right. Something personal just like, I don't know that they're coming. So one of the interesting things for me about history and about living through history is that I find that oftentimes I can think that the present is inevitable. And something that struck me about the 2016 election is that it's sort of impossible to think that the present is inevitable because so many people on both sides of the aisle assumed that there was gonna be a very different outcome. Right. And you were someone who I think also thought that it was extremely unlikely that Trump would either get the nomination or be elected. I thought it was pretty likely he'd get the nomination. That he'd get the nomination, okay. Well, so that's interesting. What made you think it was likely that he'd get the nomination? Because I remember when he first entered in and came down the staircase and a lot of the media and a lot of the GOP was treating him as sort of a buffoon. So what made you think that there was a likelihood that he was gonna get the nomination? It was actually two discrete moments. The first was after, like a week after he announced or two weeks after he announced, he said that thing about John McCain, right, that I like people who get captured. Yeah, yeah. And there's this huge firestorm and people are like, yeah, he's done. Like no one can recover from this. And I didn't like, I just kind of was observing the whole time and nothing happened, right? Like in fact, his numbers went up afterwards. And that was when I was like, hey, this is unusual. And maybe we shouldn't dismiss his chances of winning the nomination. And the second thing was just going to a Trump rally. I went to one in Dallas, I think in September. So early on. Yeah, early on. And just the level of enthusiasm. I've been to enough presidential primary events to get a sense of what seems to really have legs and what doesn't. And just from that rally, it was like, this thing has legs. But that, so I wasn't terribly skeptical that he would win, because just like everything points in that direction. Like the numbers, the enthusiasm, like everything. And the rest of the field, you're in L1. It was so crowded, right? Like it was, you had Jeb Bush with a hundred million dollars who was like the zombie candidate you know and liked. But I mean, we all kind of liked him like a poor Jeb Bush kind of way. Certainly in comparison, we liked him. But in terms of like actual support among voters, there just wasn't there. But he had all these resources we kind of just stay in. And you could kind of tell a similar story with too many of the other candidates. But when the general election came, frankly, I was just like, listen, every sign points against this guy. Like he's very unpopular. He's up against a pretty durable electoral coalition. You know, if you were, and I think it's been a couple months now since the election and there's still this kind of narrative going on that because analysts and prognosticators and such didn't call Trump's win, therefore they must be useless. Yeah, right. But that I think misunderstands how sort of statistics and probability works, right? That like saying that Trump just has a quarter of a chance of winning and is unlikely to win does not mean. Does not mean that he's not gonna win. Right, does not mean that you can't have, that 25% happen. There was this amazing flip specifically around 538 where they were getting enormous criticism leading up to the election for saying that he had a 25% chance and people accusing them of just trolling for numbers, trolling for clicks, then to afterwards 21 saying, well, this shows that places like that are useless because they only said he had a 25% chance of winning. And I think it's hard for people to understand that in, I can never say the word that well, in terms of probability, right? We can only experience one outcome. Right, right. And so when it happens, it seems like. It's 100%. Right, and it seems like in the way just people's minds work, they kind of backfill. Well, it happens and therefore it must have been inevitable when before that, we don't know what the outcome's gonna be and we can only kind of guess based off all this other information and all the other information strongly suggested that that wouldn't be the outcome. Right. Yeah, I mean, for my part, if I'm thinking things I wish I would have done during the general election, it would have just been to take a little more seriously the chance that Trump could win. Right. Kind of always keep that as an open possibility and I was probably a little too certain that he wouldn't, but I don't think that that certainty was completely unwarranted. I mean like. Yeah, right. I mean, this is a dude. This is a dude who we heard on camera brag about sexually assaulting women. And I feel like it's really reasonable to say, oh, someone who does that probably won't win the presidency. Right. I feel like it's a reasonable judgment to make. And not, I mean, the thing that was one of the many things that was so shocking about the 2016 election is there were a dozen things like that where you could say it's pretty reasonable to assume that someone who does X or Y or Z is not going to elect the elected president. And I want to come back to that a little bit in terms of whether that was a failure of imagination on sort of on large segments of the country and the press. But before that, one of the big narratives about the 2016 election, I think one of the most important narratives is the way that racial divisiveness really came to the forefront in a manner that had not been true for several generations at least. Trump began his campaign talking about Mexicans and building a wall in rapists. Was there a moment leading up to either his getting the nomination or afterwards when you felt like that type of rhetoric was being sanctioned in a way that had not been true previously in our lifetime? I mean, I think it was his winning the nomination and not just winning the nomination but the speed with which other Republicans fell in line, right? It's actually not that difficult to imagine and this kind of gets back to your earlier point that things are not inevitable. It's not hard to imagine Trump's opponents, the never Trumpers in the GOP forthrightly saying openly that yes, he's our nominee, but this is unacceptable. I cannot support him so on and so forth. Instead of what happened was either staying quiet or kind of saying, well, he's nominee and I have to support him. Right. There's that weird moment where Ted Cruz was like the courageous member of the GOP. Right, right. Truly living in a bizarro world. What a time to be alive. As soon as that happened, it did, I think, sanction that kind of rhetoric. And I think, I mean, this kind of goes back to sort of what the folks miss during the election. And this is something I'm still thinking about, which is that we tend to think of the use of that explicitly racist rhetoric as being something that is in addition to the political stew but doesn't really fundamentally change the character of it. But what if it does fundamentally change the character of it? What if the fact that Trump campaigned using that kind of rhetoric and that kind of rhetoric was broadly sanctioned by his party, what if that kind of changed how voters themselves made their calculations? In what way? In the sense that maybe you are someone who did not much care for Republican tax policies, but you are very angry about sort of like rapid racial change. And the Republican Party is now signaling to you that it is a party for people who have a problem with that. With rapid racial change. If you look at the turnout numbers, there wasn't increase in white turnout from 2012 to 2016. And it was heavily based in rural sectors. And it wasn't, as far as we can tell, it wasn't low income people. It wasn't sort of the... Yeah, there's that myth that... The image of the Trump voter is sort of beaten down from a blue collar. And in power, yeah, and rust belt. These were, and I grew up in a place like this. These are people who own big homes on big tracks of land, who maybe don't really engage with politics that much. And something about Trump made them engage with politics, and that something changed the electorate. And my hunch is that it's just the racism. And so, I mean, that's something that you wrote about before the election also about the extent to which racism was sort of a necessary component to being a Trump voter. And whether Hillary Clinton's classification of half of Trump voters is deplorable was unfair, never mind if it was politically expedient or not. And you said pretty consistently that you thought that people who were voting for a racist candidate probably held racist views on some level. Or, I think, less that they held racist views, but that racist views weren't fundamentally objectionable, right? That like, that, Is there a different, I mean, I think there's not much of a practical difference, right? Like, you know, I don't like that he's saying racist things, but I'm still gonna vote for him anyway. It doesn't mean anything if you're the target of the racist things, right? But for those voters, it obviously means something, yeah. For they experience it differently. But I do think that you, yeah, to have cast a ballot for a campaign that never hid its racial content meant like really one of three things that you agreed with that racial content, that it did not, it was not particularly objectionable to you, or that you didn't understand that racial, that racist content as being racist, you maybe thought it was just common sense, which kind of is like the first one, except like with less self-awareness. So what would be an example of that? An example would be, it's not racist that Trump said, you know, the Mexicans are sending rapists because like there are some Mexicans who rape, so I don't know what the problem is. Right, right. So one thing, I've been thinking a lot recently about the sort of alternative fact universe and the fake news. And wondering how that plays into this notion that voting for Trump at least accepts part of his worldview. And I'm worried I might not be being as precise or eloquent as I could be here, but what I mean is if you are getting your information from Breitbart or Info Wars, or Info Wars might be an extreme example, then you are, you're reading a narrative that most Hispanics living in the country support the wall, that the reason Trump won was because of this surge in turnout in Hispanic Americans who were upset about illegal immigration. That, you know, he has approval in the minority community that we're not aware of because the mainstream media won't report that. So does that, first of all, what are your thoughts about that? And second of all, does that affect the idea that Trump voters are sort of implicitly or complicitly accepting what voters who think that The New York Times is the real news believe? So it's first what I think about those sort of narratives which are, you know, very present on the opposite of Breitbart and Info Wars and even sort of their less extreme but still problematic competitors and such. Like who would their, like Daily Caller and stuff like that. I mean, I think it's, I think it's, I mean it's, it is actually fake news. Yeah, yeah. It is not factually the case. And it's just worth saying this, right? That in the, in last year's election, the exit polls suggested that Trump basically won like typical numbers among Latinos and African-Americans who are Republican presidential candidate, but like subsequent research suggests that Trump's numbers with Latinos was much lower than what the exit polls suggested. Right. Like around the 17 to 18% range in that among African-Americans around seven or 8%, which are both like lows. Right. But still high compared to the day before the election what some people were predicting. Right. Well, yeah. I think the best estimates for Latino, like the lowest when I saw for Latino voting was like 15%. Right. And that most people thought it'd fall between 15 and 20. So, I mean, yeah, it's kind of wrong on that level but on the sort of, if that's their fact universe and what does, what can we ascertain about them? You know, the part of the history of racism in this country is of white Americans in particular developing narratives to sort of justify the status quo that they've imposed, right? Right. And so. To justify white supremacy. Right. So in the 1950s, it wasn't that in the South, it wasn't that African-Americans living in the Jim Crow were very unhappy about this. It was an outside agitators were coming and aryling people up. And then if you actually talked to them. That's the narrative. That's the narrative. If you actually talked to people, if you talked to them, they would tell you that they're happy with the way things are. Right. Or that on the eve of the Civil War, or even in 1861 and 1862, you had Southern plantation owners saying, well, I'm not worried that my slaves are going to run away or rebel because they're happy here. Why would they do that? Right. Go back further, 1840s, you have entire disorders being imagined. Drapedomania. Which is one of the most incredible things. Do people know about this? It's the craziest thing you'll ever hear. I mean, not ever, but it's pretty crazy. Yeah. Inslave people were running away. Makes sense. And plantation owners were like, why is this happening? Why are they running away? And this well-regarded physician and writer in this journal from New Orleans. And the medical journal New Orleans wrote that, what's happening is that these enslaved people are suffering from a disorder. They want to be free. And that's just like not with the nature of black people. And so they, and in fact, that if you go look at free black people, they are noticeably worse off than their enslaved brethren. And so he called this disease Drapedomania. This sort of, this mental disorder to make you want to be free when your nature says that you shouldn't be free. And I mean, the incredible thing about it is that this was a debate along the lines of a debate today about whether ADHD is properly diagnosed. This wasn't like some crazy view. The American Medical Association was saying like, well, this is, we should discuss this. Let's see. Which, yeah, I think it did not get ultimately adopted by the AMA, thankfully, as a disorder. But the fact that there was this ongoing discussion about that. And so it's just to make the point that like, that there will always be narratives created and disseminated in order to justify choices or actions that bolster white supremacy and white hegemony. And I tend to see when 60 plus million people vote for a Iranian explicitly racist campaign. And in response to that is, well, some Latinos voted for him too, some blacks voted for him too. Or kind of deflecting from that. I tend to see that those narratives in some sense trying to justify that choice or at least to say that no one who voted should be held responsible for the consequences of that vote. And that's something that you've written about very eloquently and that I've struggled with. There was a piece in which you wrote about how, and in the turn of the century, in the turn of the 20th century, how good Americans were bringing their kids to watch lynchings. And this was not abnormal. This was seen as an American thing to do. And I guess that's just a concept that I struggle with, whether we will look back at the 2016 election with the same type of horror that 99% of our society views lynchings or whether the fact that the violence that is occurring is sort of one step removed will allow us to pretend that that's not what was going on now. I think Americans really suggest that the latter will end up being true, right? That the fact that most people are not going to experience a deportation raid, they're not going to see images of Muslim Americans being harassed in the views. These things are not gonna appear to them. If the upsurge in activity from violent white supremacist groups continues to go on, most people are not going to experience any kind of like hate crimes or whatnot. Or, and they're also not gonna experience the observers of that. And so if that's true, then it does become very easy to deny that those were the consequences of the vote and to say that this is not what this was about. And in my view is that you kind of already see the ground being laid for that, that the, not just the preoccupation with the narrative of economic anxiety, which again is like a fact, is like, it's both true and not true. It's true in the sense that there were members of the Trump coalition who did feel some economic anxiety. It's not true in the sense that they were particularly representative. And it's not true in the sense. In the overall Trump election. In the overall Trump electorate. And it's not true in the idea that somehow also separate from racial anxiety. That in America, the two things are very much linked. But the ongoing push to say that this was an election about economic anxiety to say that, which implicitly also says that if you're feeling that kind of anxiety, then the political choices you make in a sense be excused, right? You were not acting rationally and so we cannot hold your actions against you. That suggests to me that regardless of what happens over the next four to eight years, that will be the takeaway. That the collective judgment will be, people were hurting and they made a bad choice, but we can't hold that choice against them. And is there anything that could occur that would change that narrative? That would force us to confront what's going on more directly? I hope. I hope, I was about to say I hope not because it seems like that could potentially be some. Yeah, it would be some. Car laceration. I mean, the only thing I can think of that would be within the realm of plausibility and something that I can imagine happening that isn't so extreme. I mean, it's extreme but sort of like it's not outside the realm of the possible. Would be if there is a terrorist attack in the United States and the response was like internment camps for Muslim immigrants and Muslim Americans. That I don't think is outside the realm of possibility looking at the actions of the past month. And I would hope that if that happened, people would begin to actually confront what was elected in 2016. And I'm not saying that there needs to be some mass, ostracization, ostracism. Yeah, no, it's another word I took over. Everyone knows. I'm not saying we should shun Trump voters by no means. That would end up like shunning a good chunk of people went to high school with. But I am saying that political choices actually do carry moral content. And if we are actually invested in making this a more tolerant and open society, then you can't simply say, well, people who voted for this thing don't have to reflect on it. They don't have to reflect on it because it's, you know, what did I read in? I think Kristoff column today. It's insulting to suggest that they might be bigots, right? Like, who cares if it's insulting, right? Like, why are you so preoccupied with the notion that it might be insulting to people rather than the consequences of what that action was? As opposed to what the consequence will be for the people who are gonna be discriminated against. Like they, you know, this isn't about, no, this isn't about whether someone's insulted. It's about what are we gonna do about the fact that we've empowered a lot of really ugly forces in this country. And that's gonna mean something for people and it's not gonna be pleasant. So that's what I wanna see. That's what I hope, those are the conversations I want to happen. You know, I don't think they're going to, unfortunately, which leaves me in the situation where I'm constantly saying this thing. Like it's kind of a recurring part of my public dialogue. And it creates the impression that this is all I think about, which is that it's not, but it's something that I don't wanna get, I hope doesn't get lost in everything that's going on. So moving away from Trump voters, one of the things, another one of the things that's been striking to me is how the racial dialogue has changed, not just in how we're discussing the election, but also how people who, how white people who are very opposed to Trump are talking about race, sometimes in ways that are very uncomfortable to me. And I know you've spoken and written before about sort of being asked to give the black point of view or someone on Twitter will send you a message and say, oh, I saw this, what do you think of that as if you can somehow be representative for black people? Is that something that sort of level of awkwardness and uncomfortability among white Americans who would be and who are predisposed to oppose Trump and support Obama? Is that something, well, how is that? Is that something you've noticed and how has that affected you? It is something I've noticed. I've had a lot more conversations. I've seen a lot more conversations among white Americans about race. I think this is good for the most part. I think at a certain point, black Americans, Latinos, we're not the majority of the country. And so at a certain point, this at some sense isn't our total responsibility, right? Like this is ultimately a thing that white Americans have to figure out amongst themselves. What is it? Like sort of like fixing it, right? Like solving racial inequality ultimately is gonna have to be a project of white Americans? But not only solving, I mean, it seems like you're oftentimes asked, or not you, but black writers and blacks who are in the public sphere are asked by white people what they should think. Right, right. As someone who's racially advanced in my thinking, how am I supposed to feel about this, Jamal? So what's interesting about that, right, is that it's the problem, and I think in this conversation you're referencing, which I did with a colleague of mine, Aisha Harris, and then two other friends, Ching Demby and Tressy Khatam, I think the thing that we all kind of identified is the problem isn't necessarily the question, right? We are in the public eye, like we have maybe discussions part of our careers, and so we're going to talk about them. I think the issue is oftentimes as questions are posed or the conversations are, people tend to have the conversations in a way that avoids them being implicated or avoids them encountering any discomfort, sort of wanting to have a conversation but have a conversation with a bumper lane. And that's frustrating because it puts limits on what we can say, right? Like it's hard to be honest when you know that maybe like completely honestly we just make someone feel bad, make some stranger feel bad. And that's, and I think in that conversation we all pushed against that pretty hard and said essentially that for these conversations to have any real worth to them, the possibility of someone feeling bad has to be there, right? Like it has to be, the person initiating it has to be open to the chance that they will feel implicated or they will even maybe even feel attacked and we'll have to like deal with that emotionally. Yeah, as long as people are open to the chance that they might get like roasted in a conversation about race and like we're all fine. So for example, would an example of that be a white reader or anyone comes to you and asks a question, what am I supposed to feel about this? And a response that could make them feel uncomfortable is how is it that you don't have any black people in your life that you're close enough to ask this? Yes, right, right, yeah. Which is also part of the funny dynamic here. It's not just being asked questions, it's sort of being asked questions in this almost intimate way. It's like I don't know, I can't, like that's a conversation you gotta have with someone that you're close with. I can't help you there. And then the response of like I'm on the good side. Right, right, right. And it's like I, there's no like succinct way of putting this, but there is this phenomenon in which being a person of color and being public and being a writer and writing about these issues or even not writing about these issues, people sort of assume that you have some sort of hidden knowledge or hidden wisdom that you don't necessarily. Hidden knowledge or hidden wisdom, like you would know how to solve this. Right, you wouldn't, you know, well, what should we do to have better conversations? I have no idea what you should do to have better conversations. Right, try having conversations in the first place. Right, and so, and I do think some of this is just kind of, it's a kind of native discomfort Americans have with talking about race, and they want to begin, they want to put that discomfort on someone else rather than kind of just tackle it. Well, and I think it's something that I think is in some ways especially acute and northern cities where you're much more likely to have to where the overall populace is much more likely to be democratic and to be liberal democratic, but in some ways those areas are much less segregated than a lot of the rest of the country. So you have populations that politically line up one way and then in their daily life in some ways have very little interaction with the people that they're talking about and it's a fascinating phenomena that's occurring so long after the civil rights movement and that we still see that in northern cities. Right, I mean, I'm from Virginia, my family's from the south and so the striking thing to me always coming from down south, especially where a lot of my relatives live in in northern Florida and southern Georgia, it's just like how rigidly segregated the north can be. Like I'm not gonna pretend that say, where do my parents live? Somerville, South Carolina is not a segregated place but it's not actually, it's not too segregated. It's not like Boston. It's not like Boston, it's not like that and it's a place where black and white people have actually a lot of casual integration and a lot of casual integration and for reasons I'm sure people can imagine often have more intimate connections, especially for people who are from those areas than you might find elsewhere. It's not as if, I wouldn't say anyone's more comfortable talking about these things but I think the raw materials for a dialogue might be more plentiful when there's just more regular interaction. Yeah, yeah, right. I think in that conversation that you were citing with Aisha that someone referenced that SNL skit with Chris Rock and right after the election, am I remembering that correctly where Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock were like, of course this is gonna happen and all of the white SNL cast members were amazed and shocked and outraged. I wanna talk a little bit about what we might be looking at politically moving forward. You mentioned how you were, well, how the sort of never Trump movement that I think a lot of people maybe naively thought was materialized within the GOP didn't. Do you, as a student of history and someone who pays a lot of attention to history, is that something that you think is going to have lasting repercussions for the GOP? I mean, in my perhaps failure of imagination, it's impossible for me to see how it doesn't. Especially with- So this is the lack, the failure of a never Trump to emerge? Just the fact that essentially, with very few exceptions, the entire GOP right now is going along with not only what he's doing and saying racially, but just the shit storm of initiatives and policies and everything that he's putting forward. Is that something that you think is going to, that we will look back at with the same type of reprobation for the current GOP that we might have about people who supported slavery or segregation, or? Yeah, that's interesting because I just remember the conversation prior to the election was like it's the GOP gonna collapse, right? Like it's like- Yeah, yeah, right. The acid of history. So I don't think it's true, I mean, my, you know. Will the Democrats take over the House and the Senate? Right, right. And will the GOP be a party in four years? And those kind of conversations I've always thought were silly. A, because, you know, the American party system survived the Civil War. Yeah, yeah. They can survive a lot. Right. It just kind of changed quite a bit when it hits sort of major events. And I think, I do think, this will have lasting repercussions for the Republican Party. And I think those repercussions will simply be that it's gonna enter like a new stage of its existence. If it went from being first, like a sectional anti-slavery party to kind of like a big business party to for the last 50 years just like ideologically conservative party, I think it is, in all the while, and the elements of each of these that are always present within the party, they become dominant here and there. I think one element that's always been within the party, which is kind of an implicit commitment to the cultural and political hegemony of white America, is now gonna become a dominant thread. Right? That more than tax cuts or small government, the thing that is going to unify the Republican Party is this notion that the people in the United States are white and that they are the legitimate holders of power. That I think is more or less Trump's like big... message. And is that something that elected GOP officials, I mean, I guess they're showing that they're comfortable with that, but I don't even know what my question is. I mean, I've been continually just amazed that Paul Ryan, that even John McCain, despite some of his pushing back, that Lindsey Graham, that any number of people are more or less okay with this. Everyone has their particular goals or ideological agenda, so Paul Ryan is an ideological conservative. He seems to believe it's a basic question of morality that the United States should be a low tax and low service country. And so if to accomplish that, it requires signing on to a popular movement that's based less on any ideology and more than just sort of a naked cultural claim, you could call it a populist claim in the European sense and sort of anti-pluralistic European sense, then they'll do it, right? Like that's a price will pay for that agenda. And that's sort of how I see this working out. And I think eventually, in this all assumes, I mean, this does assume that the Trump presidency doesn't end in some catastrophic way, right? If that happens, then... What would be a catastrophic way? I don't know, like, let's say it turns out that Donald Trump knew full well of contact and cooperation with the Putin government, right? Which is like not a crazy thing, I mean, it's not... Not remotely. It's not outside their own possibility. But that would be the kind of thing that could so tarnish a party that... Could it? I mean, what seems amazing to me is how much that's a possibility and how little anyone seems to care about it. I mean, that's... I think the thing that makes all of this difficult in terms of trying to figure out what will happen is that American politics is beyond hyper-polarized. Right. You don't really need to know much more about a person than how they voted in the previous two elections to guess how they'll vote for the rest of their lives. And that hyper-polarization, the extent to which people will just vote for them with an architecture name or a deed next to their name, means that it's genuinely difficult to say what would cause... Collapse, what would cause something to an earthquake in American politics outside of massive external events, like a depression or a big war or something like that. I mean, I started off in the way distant past of a month ago thinking that it was incredibly unlikely that Trump would not be impeached during his presidency and have come almost 180 degrees around that, thinking that it's increasingly difficult for me to imagine any scenario in which a GOP-led Congress would impeach him, regardless of what happens. So it's hard to say what will happen to the GOP. I do think that this sort of ethonationalist thing is here to stay in the Republican Party. And I say that because it kind of reflects what has been the recurring pattern in American history, which is that as either a state or a county or what have you undergoes racial change, there is a massive backlash. And you can almost think of what's happening to the country of it large, what happened in California in the 90s, when the rising immigrant population caused basically like a 10-year anti-immigrant backlash. But in the end, ended up wiping out the California GOP, like I just said, it's a rump party at this point. But United States is quite big and given the structure of our elections, given the extent to which parties in power can do a lot to shape electorates and shape election outcomes. You mean with districts? And it's an open question as to whether or not this will damage the Republican Party in the long-term way or whether maybe Trump will just have a normal for eight years and will have the access of American politics will not turn on whether or not you want small government or big government or that will still be a part of it, but essentially whether or not you see the United States as being a multiracial country or not. When you said a normal four or eight years after admit that my heart rate. Oh yeah, that's it. I mean, just my anxiety level since the election have been off the charts and I've found increasingly that I need to not only not be on social media but like not read the newspaper for a while, you don't have that luxury. Nope. And so what has that been like? I mean, have you found that it's been difficult to sort of be in the middle of this without any break? I mean, it's one of those things where I've said this run and do part of myself and accepted that I will never escape at least my like 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday or Sunday through Friday, honestly of this being kind of just my life. But that doesn't mean in the times when I'm not working that I can't avoid it. And so for example, when I was talking to my parents, my like mom really wants to talk about politics and I was like, let's talk about not that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So literally anything but that. Right. I've got sort of like, I've always had photography as a hobby now it's kind of really dived into it as a way of just like having a firm break from work. And so that has mostly meant doing dark room work and kind of like spending a lot of time developing film and making prints and kind of isolating myself from politics. And yeah, just like kind of really deliberately making effort to separate my work from my life. Cause it actually is very, I think, and you know this well it's very easily as a journalist become just like be completely consumed in what you do. Precisely because it's like you can write anywhere or you can do research, you can do reporting anywhere. Right, yeah, yeah. And once you become known for writing about things, you will always get people approaching you to you know, I mean I on the one hand am gratified when people come to me and ask me to write about things I've written about in the past. On the other hand, I now am basically ignoring all emails that asked me to write about Trump's insane anti-vaccine notions because I just don't wanna deal with it and I'm not sure what I can add to the conversation at this point besides saying it's crazy. Before we open up I wanna talk a little bit, I've only gotten through about a quarter of the questions that I wanted to ask but I wanna talk a little bit about journalism generally, about journalism today generally. And one question that I've been struggling with a lot is both our meaning the media's role in the election, whether the public was well-served by how we covered it. And two, whether we have the tools to not only cover a Trump administration but to cover a world in which there are alternative facts and which essentially you have not a 50-50 split but maybe 40% of the population that thinks that CNN and the New York Times and is what is fake news. So that's a very broad open-ended question. But let's start with how the media did covering the 2016 election. You got to cover it from a vantage point. There's still this sort of mythologized ideal of objectivity in American journalism. How do you think places like the wire services, the networks, the New York Times, the Washington Post, how did they do when covering the election? I think it's a pretty mixed bag. And across all outlets and across all different types of media, whether that's print versus network news, whether that's cable news, whatever, there's been great work done. There's absolutely no question of that. On the same token, at a certain point in the election it became about Trump saying crazy things versus emails, and I think that's a function of choices of media coverage. And frankly, I think it reflects an implicit assumption among a lot of people covering the election that Trump is gonna lose. And so you had to look for ways to scrutinize Hillary Clinton and you kind of just focus on the spectacle of Trump. And I don't think that's served people quite well. I just read a story today about Trump voters who are surprised that he plans to cut Medicaid, which if you did any policy journalism or read any policy journalism, that shouldn't be a surprise. Like Trump is a Republican candidate. The Republican Party has said repeatedly that it intends to repeal the Affordable Care Act and that means cutting the Medicaid expansion and cutting Medicaid even deeper after that. The fact that a lot of Americans didn't realize this I think reflects a kind of failure on part of the collective news media. Kind of a preoccupation with the sensational over actually scrutinizing the candidates and not quite communicating the full stakes of the election. It's also, I think this sort of knee-jerk ingrained tendency in American journalism to do on one hand, on the other hand. And this notion that if you were covering a Trump scandal, it was somehow unfair. If you were also not covering a Clinton scandal. As someone who writes about science, one of the things that fascinates me is this, a reality that I think the media has a very hard time accepting, which is if you repeat something, even if you repeat it within the context of it not being true, a fairly high percentage of people are gonna come away from that thinking it's true. And that's a well-known fact. But I think it's largely a fact that the American media does not grapple with. Yeah, it's actually, it's really very hard to dispel false information without reinforcing it. It's legitimately difficult to do. And I think that compounds with another thing I'm not sure the American media as a whole has really grappled with, which is, as far as political scientists can tell, there are asymmetric changes in American politics. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party aren't mirror images of each other. And that, I don't think it's a good idea that the Republican Party has moved, moved ideologically in ways that aren't equivalent to what's happened in the Democratic side. And that does require you to sort of like offer different kinds of context and like cover them a little differently. And I'm not sure, and I think Trump demonstrates this very well. I mean, there was, until it became untenable, there was an effort to sort of treat Trump as kind of a normal candidate or a normal candidate. I think after it became untenable, there was still that effort. And I'm not sure, I mean, part of me, you know, I didn't, we mentioned earlier that I didn't really study journalism. And part of me wonders, part of the problem is that a lot of people doing journalism like study journalism. Yeah, yeah. And that there's no, there's surprisingly, there's not enough, I'm not gonna say surprisingly little, there's not enough historical grounding, there's not enough grounding in social science, there's not enough grounding in disciplines outside of the profession. And as such, people get wedded to sort of like, what are basically sort of like ways of doing things that ought to be a little more flexible than they are. And this doesn't mean, I mean, this isn't a question of like objectivity or bias or whatever, it's just a question of sort of like, how do you understand something in its proper context? How do you understand something in given, given its history and given everything that's happening? So the last question before I open it up, what tools do we need, do journalists need to not only cover this administration but cover this role in history? What can journalists do to rise to the challenge that we're facing? I mean, the thing I would recommend, and this is just now speaking, it's like a history nerd, is I think journalists need to figure out how they wanna be remembered, right? And in a very, very serious way, like if you think that the Trump administration represents something, if not unprecedented in like a rye in American politics and American political culture, then how do you wanna be remembered? How do you wanna be thought of and responding to it? And for my part, you read books like The Race Beat about the reporters who cover the civil rights movement and there were mainstream outlets who were dismissive, who did not take these things seriously, who were hostile and they looked very bad for the hindsight of history. And I think kind of deciding who side you're on here is right and that they're not a partisan thing, that is recognizing that the Trump administration has made a priority of targeting marginal groups in the country and so how are you going to report that? Yeah, I think covering the civil rights movement is an excellent example because the outlets that argued against covering it aggressively or covering it from sort of Mount Olympus did so using the justification that like, well, who are we to decide whether it's proper that we should treat all citizens equally? That's not our call to make. And I mean, sort of a colleague of sorts, Brian Boitler at the New Republic, made this argument before the election and I think it's one that journalists should grapple with and that is what is a profession for? Is our profession to defend the prerogatives of journalists? Are we defending free speech or are we defending kind of pluralism and constitutionalism? Are we as James Madison vision very much part and parcel of what makes the American system work? And if we're the latter, then that actually does imply a different set of responsibilities and obligations. It means that you can't cover something like the civil rights movement from Mount Olympus. You have to see it from the perspective of, oh, these things are actually threatening the kind of society that we want to have. That is having a perspective, I guess, but it's having kind of a... A perspective as a human being. Right. And a perspective as someone, as a profession, that values a liberal, pluralist, constitutionalist government. Right, right. Let me open it up. Come up to microphones, ask away. We still have a good chunk of time. And identify, if you're comfortable, identify yourself just so we know who you are also. Sure. Hi, my name is Dane. I'm a law student at Harvard. Thanks for being here, Jamelle. No problem. So right now we've empowered a right-wing version of white nationalism, how I see it. But there's also, I see conversations on the left among politicians and activists and academics. And there's a sort of analog, right? There's a left-wing white nationalism that could emerge and there's a debate going into the next set of elections. Do we center race or do we avoid race to reach certain people that could vote Democrat but maybe feel uncomfortable by centering race? So how do you see this conversation going over the next couple of years? And is there a difference between maybe what is right and what is most politically expedient? Yeah, that's a great question. So I think it's definitely the case that you do, with him, I guess the broad Americans in our left have this ongoing conversation about race versus class, which, for my part, I think kind of the, this is all very overstated, but you have this conversation happening. I think, I mean, I think where people are ending up basically depends on how they envision a future coalition, right? If you believe that the goal ought to be mobilizing non-voters, mobilizing people not participating in the process as it stands, then there is no real reason not to continue centering concerns of racial equality and such. I think this is sort of the driving force behind Keith Ellison's bid for the DNC chair, which, parenthetical, party committee chairs aren't that important and it's really insane to me how this has become like this thing, but as it stands, that's like the symbolism of a Keith Ellison pick. If you envision a future coalition as necessarily winning back or incorporating some number of white working class people, however defined, and there are a lot of questions about how you define them properly, then I do think you run into some of these difficulties, in part because the history of white working class politics in this country has been one of class mobilization. It's also been one of a defense of white hierarchy and white hegemony, and oftentimes even nascent interracial movements involving white working class politics have ended up collapsing because of the tensions with that. You can look at the fusionist movement in North Carolina in the 1890s as an example of that. You can look at the fact that outside of the radical wings of the labor movement in the 1930s, there's a real hostility to interracial unionism among a lot of rank and file union members. So like CIO aside or United Auto Workers aside, or the Communists aside, your mainstream factory worker in Detroit wasn't too happy about letting a black family move in there into their neighborhood. So if you envision the future coalition as being kind of centered around or necessarily including a large portion of the white working class, and I do think you're gonna have to run into these tensions, that you're going to have to resolve them somehow. My sense is that looking at where the energy is among American left-wing movements, even within the Democratic Party and its center left, I don't think the tensions are gonna emerge too much given that the energy is with, it's with movements like Fight for 15 and Black Lives Matter and Moral Monday. It's these intentionally intersectional and intentionally multi-racial movements that refuse to sacrifice a commitment to racial equality or sacrifice a commitment to economic equality. I will say though that there is, people are expecting like a groundswell wave of like support for stuff like this. I'm not sure that's the case. I think given the history of like white American politics, there's gonna be a hard limit on the number of like white people period that are going to support this kind of left movement. Do I think that we reached that limit? Obviously not, because if we had, we wouldn't be having this conversation probably, but I do think that that's the thing to keep in mind. Like there's a reason, there's a reason why since 1968, a national democratic presidential nominee has not won a majority of white voters. Not in 68, not in 72, not in 76. Bill Clinton won a plurality, to never won a majority, never outperformed an opponent with white voters. Since 1968, it has not happened and that is not an accident. Thanks. Anyone else will keep the ball rolling. I'll give it a try. Just to add to that last observation, of course, Democrats have won the popular vote. Democrat presidential nominees have won the popular vote and what, five out of the last six, six out of the last seven elections. Like eight out of the last nine, right? Some large proportion over the last 30 years, which illustrates why, illustrates a number of the changes you've been talking about. I've got a whole bunch of questions for you and I'll just choose one because it's one I really am most perplexed by, which is one of the big themes of Republican politics for a while now and certainly Trump's campaign was American exceptionalism. We've got to, the Make America Great Again is a claim that America, I mean, it's claimed a bunch of things, but it's claimed that America is distinctive, has a unique role, unique power, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And one of the really interesting things is a lot of the social facts, that some of which fed into economic anxiety and so forth, emphasize how unexceptional we are. Where our lifespan doesn't even come close to exceeding, being near the top of the tables for developed countries. I just saw a paper reported yesterday or today that says growth in life expectation. America is going to fall way behind over the next predict next 20, 30 years. This is in the Lancet I think. And there's, I think, one of the things you have with more access to information from more parts of the world, this sort of this globalization of experience is there's more and more perception that whatever the claims may be, whatever the sort of braggadocio about American exceptionalism, there's lots of evidence that this isn't the only way to make it in the world and may not be the best. And I'm wondering how much you think sort of this cultivated dime show nostalgia played a role in this election and how much you think that sustains over time? How can, with the data that are coming out, the reality of the various social ills we face has compared to other places? How much do you think that plays out going forward? Yeah, so I definitely do believe that this notion of American exceptionalism, of inherent greatness played a huge part in this election. It is the case that for the better part of the people who voted for Donald Trump, who are above the age of 40, they have a very distinct memory of a United States that at least felt more prosperous and more comfortable for them than it is now. And so this sort of, and you're seeing this, I mean, you see this kind of nostalgia politics in Europe as well, right? That there's a very distinct nostalgia politics happening, of grasping back to a time of presumed and perceived stability and prosperity, which is like, you know, both true and not. It's true for some people, not for others. I tend to think that looking at, I said, as I said earlier, on thinking about populism in the European sense. And what I mean by that is when Americans say populism, they usually just mean sort of like really liberal. But when Europeans say populism, they actually mean something quite distinct. And what they mean is a type of politics that makes exclusive claims to representation, right? That like, my party is the people. And if you are against my party, you are against the people. It is anti-pluralist. It is not inherently authoritarian, but it leans towards that. It is often tied up in lots of other nasty things. I think Donald Trump is that kind of populist, right? Like this sort of European-style populist. And the thing about those kinds of politicians when they grapple with power is that precisely because they do make this like very profound connection with their supporters, elevating them as the representation of the nation, it is hard for external events to dislodge that. For example, I would say in Hungary, Victor Orban has presided over deep cuts to the welfare state, deep, deep cuts to the welfare state. His supporters still love him, right? Even though they were relying on him, they still love him because in their minds, he is, even with these difficulties, he is working for them. He's working for them and elevating them as sort of the rightful claimants of Hungary and Hungarian politics. That dynamic, I can very easily see happening in the United States with Trump, which would mean that even as he talks about America's exceptionalism, even as he makes promises to make America great again, even if external conditions don't meet any of that, that the connection won't be broken, which is actually really troubling for thinking about how to get out of all of this, right? If that is the kind of politics we're dealing with. So I hope that answers the question. It does, though. I'd say as somebody who's 58, I mean my political memories range from the Vietnam War protests to stagflation to lots of, lots of, from the 60s to the 80s, there was a, which is the sort of formative years for a lot of people who I think ended up voting for Trump. A lot of white people who ended up voting for Trump were years not of memory, even fogged memories of a supposedly idyllic 50s, but of much more fraught and much more really kind of fragile. It wasn't obvious in the 70s that America was going to prevail in the Cold War or be, you know. That's the power of nostalgia, right? To use a trivial example, I'm 29 and I am sort of, the Star Wars prequels were made for people my age back in the late 90s and there are, I have peers in the world who were like, oh, the prequels were great. They were great movies that really enjoyed them, which is nonsense, like they're bad movies. They're objective. Send them to the re-education camps. True deplorables. Right, right. But because they exist in sort of childhood memory, right, they exist, they're tinned by nostalgia. A lot of people who are like, oh yeah, they were fun, they were enjoyable, when that's just not, it's just not true. Just to, so I'm not accused of being, presenting alternative facts, it is six of the last seven. Elections and Democrats, yeah. Hi, I'm Melissa Knowles, Professor of Political Science here. And so I have two questions. One is about how you view the, I'm trying to make an assessment of how to make sense of Trump, believe it or not. This might not be reassuring for people who study political science, but I'm trying to figure out, is it that on the one hand, when I listen to how the press covers him, on the one hand is this notion that he's completely kind of exceptional in ways and outside of the mainstream. And we're all struggling to make sense of him. Then on the other hand, the reason why you can study him is simply, for all of the radicalism of his program, he still has to presumably still go through the ordinary channels of government. And he's doing it not very well. And so even if to our, as we watch with some, with different levels of concern, the hope is that eventually certain rhythms of governance will kick in. Legislation has to be passed. He can't govern through executive orders entirely. At some point, there's actually gonna have to be legislation. And that there will be certain, all of this will help to tame and control him. And the Republicans also will have to get in line, even if they're trying to basically dismantle the new deal, right? It seems to me that's part of the desire. And so is it, I'm trying to figure out how, it seems to me the press is trying to figure out how to cover him. Is he incompetent or crazy like a fox? Like which, you know, which is it? And depending on which way you view him, you would judge him accordingly. That's one. The second question is how much do you, you know, without prejudice, it seemed to me some of this had to do with the election in part implicitly had, was a rejection of the first black president or at least a backlash without exaggerating too much. So we read the article in the Atlantic of looking at this election is right after reconstruction, right? Kind of the redemptionists. And in fact, language of redemption was used. So I wonder if you're being a student of politics and of history, did you see this in certain ways as through the lens of looking at the third reconstruction being a civil rights movement. And now a backlash against it. And we've only been basically 50 years of a multi-party democracy where we had an actual multi-racial electorate that could vote. And maybe there's a backlash against what full democracy brings. So for the first question, crazy like a fox or incompetent. I don't... Or crazy like an incompetent. Or crazy like an incompetent. Which actually, I think that's actually and I think that's the correct one. I think it's undoubtedly true that at least the people around Trump have a very radical notion of what they wanna do in government, right? You wrote a really great piece I love about Bannon and Miller and all that. Yes. Yeah, I mean, Bannon is, give him a top hat in like an old time you watch. And he's like straight, he's straight in the 1920s. He's a 1920 style like immigration restrictionist, sort of like decline of the white race style thinker. Except like, you know, almost a farcical one, right? But Bannon and Miller and Sessions all do have like a very well-defined ideological view and a well-defined sense of what they want to do. I'm not sure if Trump does. I honestly, I mean, Trump has long had native instincts. You see that going back as far as the 1980s, just long had demagogic instincts. But whether he has any like firm thought patterns is up in the air. So they have, they're crazy, definitely. But this is also in all the reporting from the White House has confirmed this. I mean, this is also profoundly inexperienced White House, not just in terms of direct executive experience of which none of the principles in the White House have, but in terms of just experience in government. Trump, from reporting I've read, does not seem to, did not understand that the courts can stop White House action. Like, well, he's like, oh, I didn't know this could happen. You have. And was like mortally offended when he found out. Right, right. He was angry. He's learning about checks and balances in real time. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Bannon and Miller, I mean, Miller was a communications director in Sessions' Senate office, and Bannon is like a failed producer slash guy who ran a crazy website. Like, they, and you see this in the drafting of the travel ban, especially the Muslim ban. They did not check in with the relevant agencies. They did not, you know, doctorize or cross through T as in the result was an order that was hard, difficult to interpret, extremely far reaching, whether intentionally or not, and very vulnerable to legal challenge. I think for as much as there is radicalism at play here, this is also like an inexperienced, in a lot of ways, arrogant, and as a result, incompetent administration. What will be interesting to see happen is, first, where the power centers are in this administration. It seems that, you know, Bannon, for example, it's like actually a legitimate power center in the administration is putting pressure on kind of the agencies interested in, like Homeland Security, State Department, Department of Justice. Will those agencies push back? A lot of the federal government is under staff right now. There's, there are hundreds of Senate confirmable seats have not even received nominees, and so how is that going to affect things? It's possible that, at least for the next few months and for a situation where everyone really wants to do stuff, but like no one quite knows how to do it and how to do it effectively. And this, beyond the White House, I mean, the State Department, the Education Department, Housing and Urban Development, the EPA, not EPA, not EPA, but commerce, the Treasury are run by people with no government experience, which is an obstacle to getting an agenda through. So crazy and incompetent and just plain inexperienced. And the thing is for the administration is that you really only do have a limited window of time for getting stuff accomplished. And it's entirely possible that the first, this first month of, very frankly, catastrophic missteps has shortened that window considerably. I mean, I still think the Republican Congress really wants to repeal Obamacare. I think the window for that happening is like closing really soon. And I think we may end up with like, you know, some modest cuts to the program called Obamacare repeal and then just kind of just moving on because they can't incur the political damage and the White House just doesn't want to get mired into some massive, massive fight. Okay, so understanding Trump's election as a backlash, this basically been my frame for this, going back to the primaries. And a backlash against the civil rights movement more broadly than not. Right, right, right, against, and the point you made about us only being 50 years into multiracial democracy, I think is actually really important. We take that for, to the extent that American democracy is multiracial, we take it for granted. Take it for granted that we are a society where people of all races and ethnicities are free and equal and can participate equally. But for most of American history, for millions of still living American citizens, that was not the case. And in quite a few communities in this country, I think the status, something like seven out of 10 white Americans don't have a friendship with the person of color, right? Like most white Americans don't really have close relationships with people who look different than them. It's actually not at all, given those facts, it's not at all crazy to imagine that a guy named Barack Hussein Obama prompted a backlash against the, against the perceived racial change, against the perceived sense that this is an inversion of the proper order of things. And because our history is one of sort of progress, retrenchment, progress, retrenchment, I do think Trump's election is kind of like the, I mean, and this is actually for me the question, it's either the culmination of a slow moving backlash, beginning in the late 1960s, or it's the harbinger of like something, of something pretty terrible that may last quite a long time, depending on, yeah. So yeah, that's- Have a good night, folks. Yes. Precisely because the United States is going through this major demographic shift. It is becoming a country, I wouldn't necessarily say it's becoming a majority minority country, because I think that kind of overstates or understates the degree to which whiteness is a political category. It can't expand. Wait, understates the degree to which it can expand? It can expand, right? That like a hundred years ago, people didn't think of like Italians- As white. And Russians as white. There are other races of people who were kind of- Were Jews. Yeah, kind of white. And then a combination of kind of external events like the World Wars, the Depression, and sort of, you know, other social pressures. Created a new class of white people. And it's not, to me, it's not obvious that it's not gonna happen again for some category of people that we don't recognize as white today. But nonetheless, it is the case that the share of the country that is directly descended from, or who we recognize as white, is shrinking. So American history pretty glusy demonstrates that like in place where that happens, there are vicious back flashes. And this seems to be part of the pattern. And yeah, so again, for me, the question is like, are we at the end or are we at the beginning? And I think you can make a good case for either one. Or are we in a place where, you know, winning control of so many states and so much of government gives you an ability to kind of like entrench existing power. I mean, the case for this being the beginning is in part the fact that the coalition here, the Trump coalition, is a shrinking chunk of the country but is geographically extremely well distributed. So given the electoral college, given that distribution, it's entirely possible that, you know, yeah, maybe you lose some college educated whites, maybe the non-white population is growing in places like Virginia and Georgia. But essentially, you have Democrats getting 90% of the votes along the coasts and 48% of the votes in the middle of the country. And if you end up losing white working class voters eight to eight, or I guess that'd just be one to four, or one to five, then yeah, you can continue going for a while. Like the United States could just end up being to kind of put it in like simple terms. I feel like American future is either something like California or something like Florida or like Mississippi, right? Like there's the Mississippi option, which is just sort of like, whites vote 90% one way, non-whites vote 90% the other and the politics favor the white plurality. Yeah. Hi, my name's Dan. I guess to the point of like what a multiracial, what a multicultural democracy would look like going forward, I have in mind and just kind of want your take on, shortly after the election, there were a lot of pieces written by, I guess what I would call like white liberal universalists or someone like Mark Lilla or Jonathan Haight, talking about going forward, a multiethnic democracy has to be based on a very robust project of cultural assimilation and a minimization of difference, whether that be ethnic difference or religious difference. And I guess I sort of feel like that on the underside of the push to like the compassion for the Trump voter, like there's the direction toward, oh, they're really voting because of economic anxiety, but there's also this sense that we have to respect their desire for a monocultural society. I feel under that as well. And so I guess I just wonder how, how you would respond to that kind of movement or. I mean, so I, you know, to be frank, I have respond to that notion with like a fair amount of hostility, like instinctive hostility, in part because I think the analysis you see from Haight or from Lilla is lacking in any racial analysis. And so to say that we have to respect and desire for like a monocultural United States and that maybe the aim of our politics should be that kind of assimilation is essentially to say that the culture in question is a kind of like kind of general like colorblind whiteness kind of thing to which people are assimilated in, which A, I think is just sort of like, I'm resistant to the notion that people should like jettison their cultural traditions for that reason, but B, ignores the fact that the United States is sort of a racially hierarchical society and that doing that actually robs you of the ability to deal with that fact. And it seems to me a kind of compromise that disadvantages people who are, you know, lower on the racial totem pole. It in a way reifies race hierarchy rather than doing anything to dismantle it. And so that's sort of the source of my hostility towards it, but that does raise the question, what do you do? Like how do you build a multi-racial society and one specifically that is trying to make race less salient for people's life outcomes? For my part, I mean, that does mean that you do have to, to make race less salient for people's life outcomes, you have to make race salient. You have to show people that it does affect their life outcomes. You can't beat around the bush there. And it's remarkable to me that Willow Peace was remarkable to me for a lot of reasons, but one of them is there's a passage in the piece where he approvingly cites Martin Luther King Jr. I think this is that piece. I wanna say this is that piece. When like the whole point of the civil rights movement was actually like confronting people with the reality of the situation, like not letting people tear their eyes away. And that's, I think, you know, I wrote a piece after the election about the Jesse Jackson campaigns in the 1980s, which I think are really instructive and offer kind of a model for sort of politics of solidarity, that solidarity and mutual disadvantage and not so much in trying to force assimilation into a common, you know, vision of the normal. And I think that kind of thing is possible, but I think the draw in power of race hierarchy is such that it's like just very difficult. And so I think there are models in American history and in American life for like genuine multi-racial democracy. I mentioned moral Mondays earlier in Southern North Carolina, which is exactly this kind of like people of different races and class backgrounds and gender identification coming together on the basis of their, of shared recognition and disadvantage, but that's really difficult. And it runs right into an actual reaction and actual opposition from people who just oppose that vision of the United States. But to sum up, I think the little height notion I find it's just sort of a backdoor way of saying, it's a backdoor way of making the same kind of claim Trump makes, basically. It is a more palatable way of making that claim. And I reject that claim. I reject the claim that the United States has some kind of core cultural identity outside of its commitment to its sort of enlightenment ideals. My name's Katha. And given the fact that much of the media is owned and controlled by people who are white and looking at the election as a place where Trump who was clearly playing to white supremacists all the time. I sort of feel like there was a lot of the media saying, I'm shocked, shocked that there's racism in this country. And I'm wondering how that played out, what you think about that idea and how you can move forward from that. So I think it played out in an interesting way and it's still playing out, which is that there is, at this point, there is genre of reported story that you can almost fill in the blanks in. It is city reporter goes to, I don't know, like depressed Rust Belt town talks to people who live in places where the jobs have been gone for 20 years and they're voting for Trump and it's very sad and it's very depressed and it's a portrait of American industrial decline. What's funny is that you could also find these pieces in the 80s, it's like the recurring type of a story, but these are very prevalent in the past election. And I think there's nothing inherently wrong with these pieces, but I think they reflect the whiteness of the news media or at least certain parts of news media in that they didn't actually take people's political decisions and choices at face value, right? Instead of saying, instead of someone who says, I'm suspicious of immigrants or I am hostile to this cultural change, it is an attempt to say, yeah, but they also live in this depressed town that's obviously influencing their vote. It's kind of an attempt to add nuance where nuance may not necessarily be there. And I don't say that as a way of like disparaging anyone, but just, I live in Washington, D.C., Washington, D.C. infamously elected Mary and Barry several times to mayor. And I've read a lot about Mary and Barry and his administration through reaction to him, and I cannot recall a similar type of analysis of Barry and of the people who elected him. I cannot recall a similar type of analysis of the people who elected Detroit's succession of bad mayors. And by a similar type of analysis, you mean going into minority neighborhoods and doing that sort of profile. And sort of ignoring face value and looking for basically some empathetic reason for why this happened. As opposed to this chit storm. Right, right. That's a technical term. I think that white reporters, for reasons that are entirely understandable, are reluctant to understand people who may well be like their family members and like their friends as acting in ways that are, politically acting ways that are morally objectionable. And so rather than accept that possibility, there I think there is a real urge to look for some underlying reason for why this might be the case. A dramatic example is this week, I forgot who published it, someone published this long profile of not Milo Yiannopoulos, but the dudes who followed him around, like the 20-something-year-old dudes for his entourage. And these dudes are basically signed up to be like groupies for like a bigot, right? Like groupies for a guy whose entire persona is that like he goes after racial minorities and transgender people and women and sort of does so explicitly from the perspective that they are not worth as much as white men. And the piece is very nuanced and empathetic towards these guys and sort of it offers this narrative in which the reason why they're even attracted to someone like Milo is a kind of, since it being left adrift in the modern world and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it refuses to take them at face value. It refuses to even posit that maybe the reason why they wanna get behind Milo is because they're also bigots. Like straight up. And we can understand the impact of that bigotry. We can understand sort of what's maybe underlying that bigotry, but our kind of top-line observation needs to be that like that's why they signed up. And I don't think it's an accident that everyone involved in like writing and reporting the story was white. And like there was just a mutual feeling that like they could recognize people they knew in these dudes and so there must be something else there that offers some, if not excuse, but some like deeper reason for why they're acting like this. This isn't them at their core. And I guess I'm not saying it isn't anyone's core. I'm saying that we should at least posit that question, right? That like perhaps, hey, maybe it's possible. Maybe it is the case that you have people voted for Trump at a deep-seated frustration with their economic situation. Maybe they voted for Trump because they don't like Mexicans. Maybe that's it. And we just have to deal with that. I'll offer another example of this that I found very troubling. It was a fresh air segment about one of these towns. And it's very much about the sort of sense of decline that people feel in the town. And then as an aside, the reporter mentions that this town has an active branch of the Ku Klux Klan. Wait, what? That seems like the whole story. That seems like the thing that we should focus on. And I think that is emblematic of the kind of quest for empathy that ends up, I think, perhaps obscuring more than it illuminates. I feel like I sound really hostile to Trump voters and I'm not. I'm really not like my best friend from high school. Her dad is sort of like gung-ho fucking Trump, like loves this dude. And I find this very regrettable. I still love him very much. He's been part of my life since I was a little kid. So it's not like hostility. It's just that I don't think we should coddle people. I don't think we should, I do not think that in, whether we're trying to understand or win their vote that we should shy away from the actual bases for which people do things. Even if it's unflattering or seems insulting to them, I just, I refuse to do that. Like, I find that the conversation around Trump voters reduces them purely to a sense of economic or cultural anxiety. And I don't think we should do that. I think we should take people to face value. We should understand the surroundings and their context, but also not turn our eyes away from what might be ugly. And I think, I do think that there is a real, a real preoccupation with turning away. And I, as a related phenomena, I do think there is a lack of attention paid to people who face the threat of a Trump administration. I mean, this complained a lot last year, but I read a lot of stories about, like, I don't know, Brussels, Pennsylvania, I didn't read that many stories about Hispanic service workers afraid of getting deported, right? I didn't read very many stories about Muslim Americans who were wondering what they're gonna do about their families. I didn't read, my wife teaches an elementary school that is predominantly Latino and Muslim. I did not read a story about eight-year-old kids afraid of what might happen to their parents, but I read a lot of stories about how people are hurting and butting for Trump. And stories about eight-year-old kids who were then saying, build the wall, and what their circumstances might be. Right, like, didn't read very much about people who might be affected, and I think that is a function of the demographics of journalism. And I apologize for this rant. It's just trying to put thoughts together here. We have time for one last question. Yeah. I think you actually, I'm sorry, I'm cool in my eye, I'm a grad student here. I think you actually started to answer my question a little bit, but I will ask it anyway. I also grew up in Virginia Beach. Oh, where did we go to high school? Ocean Lakes. I went to Kellam. Oh, okay. Are you guys gonna, like, brawl after? No, no, I feel like, I don't know who Ocean Lakes was, because there's a lot of high schools in Kellam and Virginia Beach. So, like, I remember, I recall that the high school that Kellam folks were always, like, trying to brawl with was Lantstown, which is, like, down the street, but I don't know about Ocean Lakes. Yeah, I don't know. I did Scholastic Bulls in high school, and so our big rival was Princess Anne, so. Okay, I'm gonna ask you another question. What year did you graduate from high school? 2011. Oh, no, sorry, 2007. Okay, I graduated in 2005. So there's, like, a non-trivial chance that we played Scholastic Bull against each other. But please, your question. Anyway, so, I mean, I've been sort of struggling with this. This is somewhat personal, that, you know, I, of the people that I sort of, like, I'm in touch with are my friends on Facebook or whatever. I don't really know, and I don't have any close relationship to anybody who voted for Trump, but, like you said, you do. And, like, I'm sure that having lived in Virginia Beach for 20-ish years, that there's someone that I know closely that voted for Trump. So how do you sort of, like, deal with that on, like, a personal level, especially my parents are immigrants. And so it feels sort of like, cause it's not just, like, well, Trump was kind of crazy and he's just doing these things. He said he was gonna do these things and now he's trying to do these things. So how do you sort of deal with that, like, not just, especially since you're a public figure that writes about the sort of the moral choice that Trump voters are making. How do you sort of square that? I mean, on a personal level, for me, it's, because of just the way our communities are set up, I think a lot of Americans understand politics in a very abstract way, right? That, like, it's not necessarily happening to someone they know. And I actually think, you know, in this case, saying to people, listen, you know, you can support Trump or whatever, but recognize that when he's talking about X, Y, and Z, he's talking about people like me, right? Like, this is not abstract. And so if you endorse it, then, like, understand what you're endorsing and what that means for people like me. And I don't think there's any guarantee that's gonna change anyone's mind, but I do think at least making people confront that is important, making people make a choice for themselves. Are they going to deal with any nagging doubts they might have, or are they gonna say, okay, that's just a necessary sacrifice? I will say for myself, you know, my friend's dad, I have not done this with him, apart because I just don't see him that often, in part because it's sort of hard, right? It's like hard to go up to someone that, you know, you know they're a decent person and say, like, listen, the dude you support wants to, like, deport my friend's mom, right? Like, that's, and if he gets his way, this will have a direct impact in my life. The dude you support wants to, supports expanding, stopping the frisk, and this may impact my life. I may have to be a bit more careful about how I drive around because of the guy you support, and that is a real thing, and that's sort of, I don't know, I have kind of, these two broad ideas, thoughts about moving forward from the present moment and the present situation. The first one is, you know, broadly just about people who are opposed to Trump across the political spectrum, kind of putting aside some of their differences for the sake of the United Front. But the second thing is very much about the necessity of people talking to and interacting with each other and being plain spoken and blunt about what the policy of the moment means for their lives and not flinching away from it. This goes not just for those of us who are people of color or immigrants who know Trump voting people in our lives, but also for, you know, white Americans who have family members and friends who voted for Trump but don't share those political commitments and like actually confronting those family members and friends, I think, and this is going back to something I said earlier, at a certain point, this was a problem for white people to solve and so white people need to solve it. And I think, I mean, I hope, Hillary Clinton did win more votes that there are enough white people who want to solve it, that it can be solved. But at a certain point, I can only, I can only talk to my friend's dad, my friend needs to talk to her dad. Like, ultimately he's not related to me, he's related to her, and maybe she needs to confront her dad. Well, please join me in giving a big thank you to Jamel. This is, I'm sure you know, he's an incredibly busy person and speaking at the communications forum does not come with great financial rewards. So this is something that he took the time out to do and come to have this conversation with us and I really appreciate it. I know we all really appreciate it. Thank you all for coming and being part of the conversation. Don't forget to sign up for our mailing list and I hope I see all of you in the future. Thanks. Thank you.

It is an open source first company and we've been around for 20 years and we're pretty amazing at being good at open source, giving back to the community, building software with people and sharing it back to the community. The Cube is an amazing kind of community outreach show and it's really great to be able to communicate and talk to the right people. Working with the Cube has been incredible. We do have a couple of people that have been on the show a lot, like been able to do that and I think you're very friendly and yeah, just have a good community around here. I've worked for Microsoft for a really long time and this is my first dream event and it feels a little odd to be here for a non-Microsoft event and odd and exciting in a way. RedHead is partnering with both AWS Azure as well as GCP IBM and we are working across different clouds partnering with a lot of cloud providers and I think this is a very interesting new relationship that we have that is new to me compared to being very committed to one single vendor, one single line of business, like one single operating system and stuff like that. Being able to partner with different people across the industry and work and build stuff together for the customers, one word.

Siobhan McKeown: Rebuilding Babel - Communication in a Virtual World
Ever been baffled by an online comment? Said something online that’s blown up in your face? Communicating through text alone is a challenge, but communicating in text in real-time in a multinational context is insane. This talk will address the challenges of online communication and look at how you can communicate effectively through just the medium of text. Presentation slides: https://wptv.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/siobhan-mckeown-rebuilding-babel-communication-virtual-world-wceu-2016.pdf WPTV link: https://wordpress.tv/2016/06/30/siobhan-mckeown-rebuilding-babel-communication-virtual-world/

I was sitting at the kitchen table with my husband, Dee, when I heard the sound of the ice cream man. Do you want a poke? I said, running around the kitchen, looking for coins. A poke, is it? A poke! From the poke man. I mean, whatever you're into. I didn't get my poke, but what I did get was weeks of teasing. You see, in Northern Ireland, a poke is an ice cream. It's fine. It's not showing. Okay. You like my story? I continue to my story about poke man. Everybody loves that one. That must be one of my... I did have some poke man music, but it hasn't worked either. I think I keep going. Is it working? Oh, there's me! This is my wedding day with the poke man. I was pretty awesome. So anyway, I didn't get my poke. Didn't have any money that day. See, in Northern Ireland, a poke is an ice cream. And a poke man is an ice cream man. And it's just one of the many ways that the Northern Irish dialect is really weird. It makes very little sense to anyone outside the country. It's a place where... Oh, this isn't working. Bik means mouth. Dead on means good. Wick means stupid. And Neb means nose. And in the 15 years since I've left Belfast, I've lost many of my idiomatic ways of speaking. Those are indicators of my culture, my nationality, and my class. But sometimes they still pop out, and I'm almost always scundered. So I'm telling you this story because it's 4 p.m. and day 2 of WordCamp Europe. You're all probably tired, and you're all definitely very, very hot. I'm tired. This is me. WordCamp Europe lighten being very tired. But also, so I thought you might all be ready for something a bit random and a bit of a story. But it also tells us something about the challenges of language. There's even challenges between two people who know each other very well and who both speak the same language. So when I was putting together this talk, I was trying to think of a good analogy or story that would really capture what I wanted to talk about today. And what came to mind was the story of Babel. It's a biblical story. I'm sure you all know it. In this story of Babel, everybody on earth still speaks the same language. They all find a settlement, and they decide to build a tar, and they want to make it really, really high. God sees the tar, and if you know your Old Testament, you know he was at that time pretty vengeful God. Not very happy about it. So what he does is he destroys the tar and he confines all of their tongues, so they speak different languages. He scatters them around the earth, and that tells us the story of language. So when I think about the internet, I think about what we're trying to do, that we're coming together again to build something new, to build the internet, to build communities on the internet. But unlike the people who built Babel, we all speak different languages. We all come from different cultures, and we all have different ways of being. And we rarely get the opportunity to speak to one another directly, face-to-face, as I'm doing right now. More than that, our speech is mediated through tools, which are themselves opinionated. They shape how we communicate. So today's talk, I want to think about how we communicate online. I want to think about the challenges. I want to think about some of the things that we might not instantly come to mind when we do something as simple as send a message. I'm not going to tell you how to communicate, but I want to think about the first steps that we need to take towards rebuilding our Babel. The media theorist Marshall McLean very famously wrote, the medium is the message. What he's saying is that what's at stake in the transmission of information is the medium itself. It's the form of the content. The medium, it's not just a vessel for transmitting information. It has an impact on how we think, how we live, on how we communicate, and on who we are. We live in a world with a multitude of media, each with its own ways of have a transmitting information that has an impact on how we think and how we relate. When I'm thinking about this, I like to conceptualize it in the way that architects and designers create spaces. They create restaurants with booths for intimacy. They create spaces like this, or I'm standing here and you're all up there listening. They create boardrooms that are glassy and have big long tables for formal meetings, nightclubs for dancing. Spaces shape conversations. They shape how we relate to one another. And online, it's no different. The communication tools that we use are not neutral. They shape how we communicate in very specific ways. They have an impact on our relationships with one another and on how we see ourselves. Do you ever find yourself just walking down the street and you're thinking about the best way to say something on Facebook? It's like a life event or maybe something funny has happened. You just lean away about what you're going to write. So we think about it in ourselves and what happens to us in a way that is performative. We're performing for other people. We edit and filter for the most likes. And each like gives us a little twitch of happiness. So the medium is the message. The form insinuates itself into the content and becomes part of it. It is the message. You see, maybe this is why I dislike pretty much everyone on Twitter. I even dislike myself on Twitter. It's this contraction of myself and of people I care about into this 140-character broadcast format. 140 characters that are repeatable and retweetable. When I used Twitter, I'm a bit like this. I'll start writing something and then I'll delete it and then I'll maybe write it again in a slightly different way, but it's never quite right and I start editing and changing and then it's too long and I have to delete things and then I have to have terrible grammar. But eventually I post it and then I wait. And then I wait. And then maybe I get a favorite and then maybe I get a retweet. So once I wrote something really funny on Twitter, and I thought it was funny, I thought it was really good, it was the perfect tweet. So I sent it out there and someone responded, slow clap. This isn't an idiom that I am familiar with. I was like, ah, I don't know what this is. Is this good or is this bad? So I do what we all do and I went to the urban dictionary to find out whether it was good or whether it was a bad. So the first definition said, it's a gradual building of applause, generally starting with one person clapping slowly and ending with an enthusiastic standing ovation. It generally shows approval for an underdog going to come from behind victory or after losing with pride intact. Yeah, that sounds pretty good. I would say that that means I'm funny. But the third definition said an insult used to make fun of. Was I funny? Am I not funny? So can anyone tell me? I was really confused. The tweet itself is not stuck with me. I have no idea what it was, but the feeling has. So I'm sorry to go off into tangents into my anxieties, but my point is that the medium is the message. It's not what I say on Twitter that matters. The content of that tweet, it doesn't matter, it has no bearing. What's at stake is how it changes how. I think and how I am. It makes me into someone who is anxious and someone who's uncertain, and the medium turns people who I love into people that I find annoying. Our tools force us to communicate in different ways. We are shoehorned into technological idioms. They're diaries of the past that people used to write in their diaries and they were spaces for introspection. We turned inwards and thought about things and reflected on them, but today we turn out. We perform. We perform on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, on Snapchat, or whatever. And we self-select the best of ourselves, the side that we want to show. When we use something like Slack, it's a great space for togetherness. It's an online shared space for companies, for teams, for groups, and even for open source projects. And while it's great, and I love it, and I use it every day and have a ton of different teams, it also promotes simultaneous back-channeling. So you may have a room where the main conversation is happening, but there could be multiple others going on at the same time, and there are all of these hidden layers of communication, and you never really know where the actual conversation is happening. Which just doesn't happen when you get people in a room and you make them talk. So I read this book recently by Sherry Turkle. It's called Reclaiming Conversation. In it, she writes about a school that she did some research in in the United States. The children are distracted, they find it difficult to concentrate, and they're not developing normal capacities for empathy. She writes about two children in particular. Louise's father has committed suicide, and he relies on his older sister, Winita, at school. Turkle writes, One day, Anna, a classmate of Louise's, becomes irritated that he interrupted her in the lunchroom when she was trying to talk to Winita. The next day, the school is in an uproar. Anna has posted on Facebook. I hope Louise ends up just the way his father did. The headmaster calls Anna into his office. He says he was steaming, trying to stay in control, smoke was coming out my ears, and he asks Anna, why? Why would you do this? And Anna has an answer ready. It was just on Facebook. The medium of the internet creates a barrier between me and you. It closes down any space for empathy. Anna saw Louise as an object. Anna saw Louise as an object. She had no conception that something written on the internet, something shared on Facebook, could cause real pain. On the internet, when we communicate, we lose the things we need for empathy. We lose tone of voice. We lose facial expressions. We lose body language. It's very easy to treat one another as objects. You just have to look at comment threads like the Guardian comments are free, numerous other comments read online. Look at social media to see how people treat one another. They're comfortable saying things that they would never say in person. Safe behind a screen. They make others feel objectified, victimized, and unsafe. There have been studies that show a connection between low eye contact in children and psychopathy. With its absence of eye contact, is it any surprise that so many people online lack empathy? We can see it in our own community. You can see it in comment threads on various WordPress news sites. You can see it happening on Twitter. There are people who thrive on the protection of the screen. It lets me insult you without ever having to look you in the eye and see the pain that I've caused. In the absence of body language and eye contact, we still... But what we're left with is bare text. And the speaker or writers in our case, they were left to embellish the text. It's no, a simple negative. No, definitely not. No, definitely not. How could you ask? No, not quite what I'm saying. No. No, that's a bit passive-aggressive. No! A moan or expression of dismay. We all do our best, but we still have to rely on the veracity or truthfulness of the person who we're talking to. Text makes it very easy to disassemble. Someone says, Someone says, I'm fine, smiley face, but if you're standing in front of them, it may be it's different. Maybe by making eye contact with them or seeing them avoid your eye contact, maybe by seeing the shape of their body, you'd realize it was different, that they weren't fine at all. We can't rely on text to give us all we need. We do do our best, though. And to help us out, we've created a new language. Well, it's not really a language. It's more of a way of conveying meaning. Emoji. So in 2015, the Oxford English Dictionary named this emoji, Faced with Tears of Joy, to be word of the year. And emoji is word of the year. Wow. They said it best reflected the ethos, mood and preconceptions of 2015. I use a lot of emoji. My text is full of them, especially in Slack. I love them. My favorites are this one, which is Prey, which I use for a thank you. Thumbs up, which I've used like ever since I started using it on Skype. Ta-da! For a celebration. A sunrise for good morning. I also use sunset for good evening or good night. And this big cheesy grain emoji, which I'm using a lot at the minute. Emoji are everywhere. They're even in WordPress. But they're not without problems. A recent study by Group Lens at the University of Minnesota found that emoji, which we use to add nuance to our text, are often misconstrued. They had two different research questions. The first was the interpretation of emoji on the same platform, so whether that's Apple or Samsung, whatever. What they found is that people interpret the same emoji differently. The worst culprit is this one. Microsoft smiling face with open mouth and tightly closed eyes. The respondents were questioned about whether they saw this as positive or negative. 44% said it was negative. And 54% said it was positive. So there's absolutely no consensus. The same emoji can be misconstrued by different people, but it's even more complex than that. So emoji, if you know a lot about emoji, and I know a bit more than I, they're just unicode characters. So the unicode consortium provides a code and a name. So we have U plus 1F602, which is joy. 606, which is laughing. 60D, heart eyes. 610, neutral face. Okay, neutral face. So we get the unicode, but the platforms render them how they want. And each platform has its own style. So what you send on your iPhone will appear differently depending on your recipient's device. So the meaning changes depending on the way the emoji is rendered. The worst culprit is grinning face with smiling eyes. This big cheesy grin, which is one of my favorites. When you view it on smaller screens, you do lose some of the definition in the eyes and it can look like grimacing face, which is definitely negative. On Google, it's this stupid empty grin, which I hate. I hate seeing it in my Gmail. It makes me really annoyed. On LG, this guy is really bright and happy about being alive. And Samsung, he's so happy he can't stop laughing. And for me, Microsoft looks like, you know that awkward grin that people have when you point a camera at them and they're like, oh my God, I hear that guy. But the Apple emoji is the most troublesome as it is construed as both positive and negative. So when an Apple user sends a mildly negative emoji to someone using another platform, it is rendered as positive. People also use different words in describing the same emoji on different platforms. It's when it's person raising hands and celebration, which on Apple is the words for hand and celebrate. Google, stop, clap. Microsoft, this weird great alien guy. I know, what is this? I don't understand. That's exciting and high. Samsung is exciting, happy. And LG is praise and hand. So across Google and LG, it's not clear whether someone is giving you praise or telling you to stop. And finally, sleeping face, which definitely looks sleepy on most platforms, but on Microsoft just looks unimpressed. I know, seriously. So when we try to add nuance to our text, when we try to communicate effectively, when we try to create a space for empathy, our tools get in the way. There's more misinterpretation. And what you say might not be what you intend. So to finish this presentation, I was going to talk about some of the things that I learned working on a book about the story of WordPress, about how communication and miscommunication have impacted the project, which they have, but I wanted to talk about something else instead, something that I've been thinking about very much in the past two days, and it's about online communication, but it's about one of its tricks, about one of its pitfalls. It's about how we negotiate the relationship between communicating online and offline, and it's something that matters very, very much to me. The internet is an echo chamber. We may self-disselect the best of ourselves to put on there, but we also select the people that we follow, the people that we're friends with, the blogs that we read, and the communities we participate in. It's very easy to be lulled into the assumption that everyone in the world agrees with us, and we're shocked when they don't. I tried very hard yesterday to come up with 140 characters to post on Twitter about how I felt about the results of yesterday's UK referendum, but there are absolutely no words to capture how devastated I am. And now I watch as my friends online feel equal amounts of hurt, upset, betrayal, and devastation. There are no emoji for this. If we spend all of our time communicating with people online, with people who mostly agree with us, we assume that they make up the rest of the world too. When the UK voted on Thursday to leave the European Union, it became clear how hollow those assumptions are. Liking something on Facebook is not a political act, nor is it retweeted, nor is sharing a meme. They're worse than nothing. We're lulled into thinking we're taking action when we're doing nothing at all. These things just circulate around in the echo chamber having no impact on the actual real world. And I'm feeling immensely sad today, but I also feel very ashamed. Ashamed that I didn't do more and that I didn't have the foresight to do it earlier. We live in very troubled times, and if we are really serious about building this virtual world that we are all so passionate about, we need to get serious about what we have, about protecting what we have offline. We need to get out of this bubble. We need to communicate with people who aren't online, but who are influenced by a pernicious media with its own agenda. We need to talk, we need to listen, and we need to have empathy. We need to be more than this virtual world. We need to look outwards, because if we don't, we build on very shaky foundations. Thank you.

Yeah, we had a lot of chances that game. You know, we had him on the ropes, you know, basically all game and Just we're able to seal the deal, you know, but We're confident going back home, you know splitting this year splitting the two games here and you know have three in the Bronx Is this kind of how you envisioned this series this game in particular two heavyweights kind of exchanging blows in a game like this? Yeah, just back and forth, you know two best Paul clubs in the game, you know So I'm kind of expected to be going on back and forth. You know good pitching matchups, you know offense offense of guys coming up big with homers and you know hitting guys in so It's all you know, we kind of expected so far, you know, wish we could have came away with two here But I'm not time to regroup and you know get ready for get ready for Tuesday Well for lander comes out Do you look at that as a good opportunity to get to their bullpen? Do you feel good about the offense at that point in time? Yeah, we felt good against for a lander. We felt good against her and it really didn't matter, you know, we just Had quite a few chances it score guys and we just want to get the job done Yeah, that's that's what it comes down to is, you know, just a lot of missed opportunities You know, I think back to I think DJ singled off for a lander and I got a pitch right down the middle and you know Hit it to the track, you know, they can't happen, you know, I gotta I gotta deliver right there and Yeah, just missed opportunities big picture that you guys came down here needing to get at least one How do you like your chances now getting that one game that you needed and going back there for three Oh, I always like our chances, you know going home, you know, especially for three Yeah, it's time to roll. That's the postseason. Let's we're gonna get it done It's gonna get any easier Cole on the mound for them in game three. What's the biggest key in trying to attack? No stuff, you know, a lot of people really haven't figured them out, you know, so We'll have a good game playing going into going into game three Aaron the best against the best What is it like being a part of this series right now? Oh, it's fun. This is what you live for now. This is what I dreamed of as a kid, you know rocking rocking stadiums and Tie ball games, you know, chance to be here. You know, that's what it's all about, you know, so One-one series going back home and time to take care of business Now we don't really think about that, you know, we just think about just taking care of our, you know, what we can do You know focus on our strengths and you know, that's what got us to this point, you know We're focusing on our strength. So we're just gonna keep doing that

So I had an experience on a recent trip to China that really made me think. As I was walking up into the sacred mountains above Chengdu, where a famous temple was, I began thinking about how this ancient civilization for thousands of years has been concerned with longevity and harmony with nature and oneself, and really how different it feels from a conventional medical doctor point of view who's typically more focused on medical treatments than health or longevity. So I was curious, what did the ancient Chinese know that modern science doesn't? Now today's video will jump in a little more on how the ancient traditional Chinese medicine practices, viewed health and longevity. Hey guys, I'm Dr. Alex Hain, board licensed acupuncturist and doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine and author of the health book, Master of the Day. So let's jump in. So why do people die today, mostly in the developed world? Because I don't live in the Philippines, I don't live in a rural part of Southeast Asia where I could get cholera or typhoid. But in the modern world, people still do die just of different things that are typically more chronic in nature. And when I was in China, I was speaking to this one monk one day and I just asked sort of a pointed question, you know, not about philosophy, but really about what are the essential practices to do on a daily basis to help you live a long life and really more important, how do you live a great quality of life? How do you stay healthy the years of your life? Because as someone who'd been chronically ill, do not want to live a long life if it's a sick one. I don't want to live a long life if I'm on 10 medications. So what do we actually need to do? And he said to me, Chinese medicine is about yin and yang. And when it comes to modern people, you need to have yang movement in your body, but yin stillness in the mind and in the spirit. When you look at people today, they sit at their desk all day long. And when you look at the problems that we have, there's in the physical body too much yin, too much fat, too much inactivity, we're consuming lots of high calorie foods that are low in nutrition. The yang qi is like the vital force. You could think of nutrition as the vital force of a plant or an apple. The apples these days are this big, but sometimes just tastes like water. And the broccoli looks dark green, but when you put it in your fridge for one day, it's like rubber. So our culture, our civilization is a lot of yin. It looks big. It looks real. It looks like a real nice juicy apple. But the yang qi, the vitality, the nutrition, the essence that is the healing value that people consume in food, the real nutrition and nourishment is probably less than ever before. But our physical bodies are prone to too much yin accumulation, fat. We're not moving at all, but we're more stressed than ever because of the pace of life and the way that we live. When you look at the news tabloids and you Google the top causes of death in America today, inevitably what you see no matter what newspaper you're going to is that cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, stroke, and secondary complications that are also related to cardiovascular issues like diabetes, like kidney issues, and like other related issues from blood pressure that is uncontrolled. These are some of the leading causes of death today. And all of these things involve just one thing primarily, which is circulation. Now ancient doctors in traditional Chinese medicine really focused a lot on vitality and longevity, meaning that there are cultural terms in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that deal with how do you assess vitality and health and how do you treat vitality and health. And they came up with terms like Zheng Qi, the upright Qi, or Yuan Qi, the primal Qi, or Yang Qi, the Yang Qi. All of these are cultural concepts used to understand where does the patient lie in between life and in between death. And it helps us to understand also things from a pre-scientific point of view where someone gets hit with a viral infection or flu, what determines whether someone gets sick and dies, or someone gets a little minor flu, or someone gets a flu, and then they get chronic symptoms for months or years, like long COVID. The primary determining factor is the vitality, right? The Zheng Qi, or Yuan Qi, or Yang Qi, whatever term you want to use, but it is the battery charge. And traditional Chinese medicine, to my knowledge, is the only form of medicine that has ever been able to document the process of that, assess it, and learn how to build it through medicinal formulas and the way that we live. Ancient doctors knew that, number one, if you have enough of a battery charge, even if you get sick, it won't be that prolonged. And if you catch a viral infection, you won't get deathly ill. And on top of that, you'll have more energy, your GI will function well, etc. And that one of the primary ways that a person lives a long life is that they have to have good circulation of what ancient doctors call Qi and blood. And that, basically, where there are blockages in Qi and blood, we could view this through a purely mechanistic lens when there's dysfunction in the GI, dysfunction in the menstrual cycle, dysfunction in your heart and cardiovascular system. That stagnation can ultimately produce disease or in its worst case scenario, it can produce death. Like a damned up river that initially was flowing. And now there's logs and there's garbage and now it's festering with moss and algae and mold. And now there's real toxic products in there. You wouldn't want to drink that water, right? Or else you could get sick from bacterial infections. But the same thing happens when the cardiovascular system is clogged up and a person has a stroke or a heart attack. They can never be themselves again or they can die. So from a traditional training's medicine point of view and really even a modern scientific point of view, you could argue that the key to longevity is about flow and circulation. For example, flow in the body. The most obvious one is diet and exercise, right? A poor diet will produce cardiovascular issues, which is a decrease in the flow due to plaque buildup, for example, or the hardening of the arteries. But the flow in the physical body goes the other way as well, right? A person who regularly exercises has lower blood pressure, better blood sugar regulation. They can eat a wider variety of foods and less likely to develop diabetes. But that physical movement of the body is just one form of flow, right? A lot of what we see today is stagnation. Physical stagnation, sitting on the couch, sitting at a desk. It's digestive stagnation. People who are overeating or eating too many calorie-rich foods or a lot of indigestion and acid reflux and small intestine bacterial overgrowth. These diseases of excess, which are paradoxical benefits of living in such a rich culture and civilization today, but also flow in the mind and flow in the body and in the spirit. You know, I had a man in his early 40s come into my practice and he said, I feel like I'm having a midlife crisis and I'm not sure if I should get divorced and if I should go move to Nepal and do all these things that I've really been wanting to do for a while. And this guy was walking the razor's edge, just a tinge from giving up on his life, leaving a marriage, leaving where he lived, leaving his job, starting over. And when I asked him what's causing all this upheaval out of the blue, and he said, these were the things that I always wished I was going to do or I always thought I was going to do. And now in my early 40s, I realized I didn't really do any of the things that I actually wanted to do in my life. So for a lot of people, flow in the spirit looks like exploring a lot of those paths that you've always wanted to explore. That kind of personal energy you feel from excitement and passion and novelty and variety, but really chasing your passions is a profoundly healing force. Flow in the body can be as material as diet and exercise, but flow in the spirit is pursuing that life that really excites you and makes you feel alive. That by itself sends a powerful cascade that is a healing force on its own. And the opposite, sitting in a nine to five job where you feel like you're dying releases stress hormones all day long. And we know the feeling, but there's real scientific evidence behind it as well. So longevity is about flow, the physical flow from exercise to the good diet, the psychospiritual flow from following a path with heart, following your dharma, doing the work you feel you're born to do is all key for inner wellbeing as well. Now I've also put together a series of four of the rituals you guys can do that will help you live long. And there's a free guide. It's the first link below this video called 40 of the rituals that can potentially help you add years to your life with traditional Chinese medicine. Check it out. It's a free guide. I also have info below if you'd like to become a patient on my locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine. I accept a limited number of new patients every month. There's a link below to contact my private practice and my clinic. And one more thing, I've just put together a brand new online program called introduction to healing with traditional Chinese medicine. It's a new online program I've made because I know most of you all over the world will never be able to come see me. So this program is one way you can learn daily practices that can help you heal. And it is something right below this video. You should see a link there to learn more about the healing library of all my online programs. And that's something that will help keep this channel as sponsor and ad free as possible. I have a great other related video on the key to longevity from traditional Chinese medicine point of view right here.

Ευχαριστώ για την προσπαθή σας. Ας δούμε να σας σημαίνουμε τι είμαστε τήρα. Είμαστε πιο από τα θεωρία που κοινωνίζουμε, η θεωρία που είναι η δημιουργία της αλγεβρας και της αλγεβρας που έχουν την ίδια εξηγητική πόλη. Η δημιουργία της αλγεβρας είναι η λαγκότητα που βλέπεις με μερικές αλγεβρας και μετά να χρησιμοποιήσεις αυτές τις 5 αυτοπιστές, δημιουργία, δημιουργία, δημιουργία, δοχασμότητα, δοχασμότητα, δημιουργία και δοχασμότητα. Βλέπουμε πως βλέπουμε ότι αυτό μετά χρήκει να γνώσεις κάποιες εαυτές τις αδερκοίες όπως η συγγραφία, όπως η αφηπότητα. Βλέπουμε ότι στα κοινωνισμότητα υπάρχει σαν κάθε ασθέση, όπως και τη σύγυρα, ο παραδιστής της αυτοπιστής Και then the first result that we saw was that algebra and calculus have the same expressive power appropriately understood. And appropriately understood means that you have to look at the domain independent formulas of first order logic. And then it is true that relation algebra and the domain independent fragment of relation calculus have identical expressive power. And I also mentioned that testing whether a given first order formula is domain independent is an undecidable problem, but we have an effective syntax that captures domain independent property. Then we looked at these three fundamental decision problems for a query language and in particular for relation calculus. The three problems are the equivalence problem, the containment problem, and the query evaluation problem. And in the case of relation calculus both equivalence and containment turn out to be undecidable. This is a very easy corollary to the Trachtemrose theorem, to the finite undecidability of finite validities. And then we also mentioned that the query evaluation problem which is just a model checking problem is p-space complete. In fact I didn't have to do any work for this, it was already covered in the lectures in the morning. So here these are these problems again by way of reminding you. The query equivalence problem contains as a special case logical equivalence and that's the special case when the queries are Boolean. So in general you have two queries of the same arity and you ask is it the case that on every database, plus database means always finite databases, is it the case that they give you the same answer, in particular in the case of Boolean queries it means are they true on precisely the same databases. Query containment means that the result of evaluating the query on one database containing the other and you want this to happen on every database. Then we took a closer look at the query evaluation problem which again was covered in the lectures on yesterday morning and the query evaluation problem has as input two objects, the query and the database. Then you get two families of problems by fixing one of the two inputs. So if you fix the query you talk about data complexity, you have one decision problem for every query and there the complexity drops to log space. Query complexity or expression complexity is where you fix the database and you let the query move around as inputs and then it can be P space complete. So for coming from a database point of view this really tells you that the problem that you are interested have very high complexity and in fact it can even be undecidable. Certainly query evaluation, certainly, excuse me, query equivalence is something that you would care about because it's what you would like to do. Someone gives you two queries and you want to test whether or not they do the same thing. So this motivated the question of are there fragments of relational calculus, fragments of first-order logic for which containment and equivalence and evaluation are easier than the full case. And in fact there is a very nice language, it's the language of conjunctive queries and you are all familiar with this language. I'll give you different ways to think about conjunctive queries and the advantage and the interest in focusing on this class of queries is that they capture the most frequently asked queries against real database systems. So this is the motivation for looking at this class of queries. Formally speaking a conjunctive query is a query definable by a formula of first-order logic that has this very simple syntax. It's a bunch of existential quantifiers applied to a conjunction of atomic formulas. Atomic formulas, I mean here literally positive formulas, conjunction of atoms of this form. Some of these variables are quantified out, some are free, and the query returns on every database the set of 4k tuples that satisfy this expression. By the way, this is a domain-independent calculus expression so I don't have to worry about the universe. Just active domain semantics works perfectly well here. But there is another way to think of these queries. These are precisely the queries that are definable in relational algebra. I remember the five operations as projections of selections of Cartesian product where the selection is very, very simple. The condition is a conjunction of a quantity. Where does the conjunction of a quality is? So here, well basically in some atoms you may have, the atoms may share the same variable, right? So that corresponds to the quality between the variables. And if you want to go to SQL, is again a very natural class of expressions you can write in SQL. This is select from where, where in the where clause, remember the where clause absolute the selection condition is a conjunction of a quantity. So it's a very natural fragment to consider. There is another way to write them, which would be of interest to us when we move to data log in the second half of this presentation. And this is, we can write them as rules in logic program. So in the logic programming rule, a logic programming rule is something like this, something like this, where the conjunctions are replaced by commas, quantification, extensive quantification has disappeared. It is implicitly denoted because you have some variables that occur on the right-hand side, but not on the left-hand side. These are assumed to be existentially quantified. Typically when we write a query like this, the right-hand side is called the body of the query and the left-hand side is called the head of the query. And as I said, the missing variables, the missing variables are extensively quantified and commas stands for conjunction. So let's take this syntax and look at some examples. Path of length 2, all the pairs connected by a path of length 2. In calculus you will write it like this. There exists a z, x, z and z, y. As an algebra expression you would write it like this. As a rule you will write it like this. The existential quantification is oppressed. You infer it because z is the variable that occurs here, but not on the head. And similarly a cycle of length 3. It's a Boolean query that says there is a cycle of length 3. You would write it like this as a conjunctive query or like this as a rule. It's perfectly fine to have heads with no variables. This simply means that all the variables on the body are extensively quantified. So this is just different syntaxes for the same type of object. Let me point out that every relational join that we saw yesterday is a conjunctive query. And in fact it's a conjunctive query in which we don't have any variables that are extensively quantified. All the variables occurring on the right occur on the left. So it's a quantifier free conjunctive query if you will. And that's how you would write it in SQM. Conjunctive queries, if you talk to the database practitioners they call them SPJ queries. Select project join. Although they select you have to understand that you're only talking about conjunctions of equality. So these are known as SPJ queries. So now let's look at our fundamental problems for conjunctive queries. And for the time being I'll suppress the equivalence problem. I'm only going to look at conjunctive query evaluation and conjunctive query containment. So these problems simply mean given a conjunctive query in the database find the result of evaluating the query on the database. Containment is true that on every instance i q1i is contained in q2o5 in the case of Boolean queries. We have implication logical implication between two existential conjunctive existential positive sentences without any junctions at all. So we have logical implication. Remember that conjunctive query evaluation for the full case of the full calculus or algebra was space complete query containment is undecidable. Have we gained anything by going to this small fragment and the answer is yes. There is this very nice result which I'm going to give you a complete proof of this. It's actually not a difficult result. It's much much easier than anything you've seen in the lectures of my colleagues here. But very important result by Sandra and Merlin from 1977 that in some sense conjunctive query equivalence and conjunctive query containment are the same problem. Which is very different from the full algebra. One was the side of the other was undecidable. Here they are the same problem and they are both NP complete. And of course the question is why is the common link. By the way, Sandra here is the same Sandra that we saw his name mentioned in the SOC Sandra this thing with graduate of IIT Kanpur. This is we saw his name yesterday morning with the alternation right in Ram's presentation. We saw it in Anousha stock. This is Sandra Harrell. Sandra Harrell paper with an open problem for logic for P time. So he also had this paper in stock 77 with Merlin. He was at IBM at the time. Today he's at Microsoft. So what is the common link. The common link is the so-called homomorphism problem. So I'm going to introduce this homomorphism problem and give you just a little. Just scratch the surface of this beautiful problem. Let me remind you what the homomorphism is. You can think of it as a relaxation of the concept of isomorphism between two relational structures. So you have two databases or two relational structures. A homomorphism in our case of databases is a function from the active domain of the one to the active domain of the other. That preserves membership in relations from left to right. Meaning that if you have a tuple that belongs to some relation of I, then the image of the tuple under this homomorphism is a tuple that belongs to the corresponding relation in J. So it relaxes isomorphism in two ways. It does not have to be one, one and two. And also this preservation is only from left to right. It's not different only if. And as an example which I will use to illustrate some of the concepts and the techniques here, then the results is that the graph is three colorable. If and only if you have a homomorphism from the graph to K3, where K3 is the triangle. You say click with the three elements. And in fact, this is a very strong if and only if, in the sense that the three colorings of a graph are precisely the homomorphisms that you have from the graph to the triangle. So three colorability is a special case of what we will call in a minute the homomorphism problem. All right. So here is the homomorphism problem. Given two database instances is there a homomorphism from one to the other and we will use this notation i arrow j to denote that such a homomorphism from i to j exists. And one thing we can immediately identify is the exact complexity of the homomorphism problem. It is NP complete. It certainly is in NP because we guess a function and verify that it preserves membership from left to right. But it's also NP complete. I just showed you why it's NP complete. In fact, it's NP complete even if we fix the right hand side, right? For a fixed j, g is three colorable if and only if there is a homomorphism from g to K3. What is two colorability? Two colorability is the existence of a homomorphism to K2, just the end. And K colorability is the existence of a homomorphism to the click with K elements. Okay, so we know the homomorphism problem and we know that the homomorphism problem is NP complete. Here is an exercise that is time to something that Anousos saying yesterday when he asked the question I think is three set NP complete under a four reduction, right? And of course you have to think how you're going to code satisfiability as a class of finite structures. Well, if you do that then as a follow-up exercise is to show that three satisfiability is a special case of the homomorphism problem. The only difficulty is to coming up with a writing coding of three set. All right, so the homomorphism problem is a fundamental algorithmic problem. I just showed you that colorability is a special case. Satisfiability is a special case. Planning and many other problems in AI can be viewed as special cases of the homomorphism problem. In fact, there is a very important paper by Federer and Vardi back in 1993 in which they argued that every problem in constraint satisfaction, which is a large class, a large algorithm in paradigm, in artificial intelligence can be viewed as a special case of the homomorphism problem. And in fact, I think Moshe Vardi tomorrow in his invited talk at the conference will talk about aspects of constraint satisfaction and its connection to homomorphism. So we know now the homomorphism problem. So now let's proceed and explain what is behind the Sandra Merlin theorem. This rather surprising situation, remember, valuation and containment, very different problems for full first order logic. You go to this fragment, they are the same problem. And the fact is that they are equivalent to the homomorphism problem, but I need some, a little bit of machinery to show you this connection. And for this, we need to bring into the picture canonical conjunctive queries and canonical database instances. And this is very simple. What I hope to do in the next five minutes is to make you able to do the transition every time you see a conjunctive query, you also see a database and every time you see a database, you also see a conjunctive query. So it's like a magic picture. You look at the database or it's a conjunctive query, you look at the conjunctive query or it's a database. So let's see what's going on. It's very, very simple. So let's start with a database. So we have a database. With every database we are going to associate a Boolean query. It's going to be a Boolean conjunctive query, which we are going to call the canonical conjunctive query of the database. So what is this? Every element of the active domain, every element of the active domain becomes a variable. And then the facts of the database, these are simply the tuples that belong to some relation, become the atomic formulas, the conjuncts of the conjunctive query. So concretely, if your database had just these three pairs in a binary relation e, eab, ebc, eca, then the canonical conjunctive query would say, I wrote it as a rule, would say exe is y, exe, which really means that there exists x, there exists y, there exists z, so that we have exe and easy y and pyx. So we look at the database, we write down the query. Logicians know this, it's the positive atomic diagram of a structure. That's all there is to it. But now written as a formula in this little fragment of first-order logic. So from a database we can go to a conjunctive query. Here are more examples. This is a database, this is a database which is basically the complete graph with three nodes, and the canonical conjunctive query really says there are three nodes and for every two different variables we have all the possible connections. So we go from the canonical conjunctive query, from the database to the canonical conjunctive query. We can do the reverse game, we can start with a query and view it as a database, a conjunctive query. Namely, if we have a query like this, we simply view the variables as elements of the active domain and we populate database with the conjuncts of the query. So that's what I meant before, I want you, whenever you see a database to think of a conjunctive query, whenever you see a conjunctive query to think of a database. Now I wasn't planning to say this but I was inspired by Anous' presentation today. Anous spent some time describing very nicely the three-width of a structure, right? Well, there is a connection between three-width of a structure and the canonical conjunctive queries. This goes back to some work that Mose Vardi and I did and then we had a paper with Victor Dalmau. So this is from a paper with Victor Dalmau, myself and Vardi back in 2002, where the following thing comes out that a database or a relational structure has three-width less than or equal than K, if and only if its canonical conjunctive query, which we call here IQ, can be written with at most K-variables. So if you don't like the compositions and if you don't like the Cop and Robert's game, you come from logic, this is if you will the logician's description of the three-width. Now what I mean can be written with at most K-variables. I wrote the conjunctive queries in prenext normal form, right? But you can think that you can use fewer variables by using nestings, reusing some variables, right? So all you allow in the syntax is atomic formulas. You allow atomic formulas conjunctions and extensional quantification, but you are allowed to nest them and reuse variables, right? So as long as you can write this, the width, so to speak, of this formula is at most K. That's exactly what it means to have three-width K. So there is this tight connection between three-width and the expressibility of the canonical conjunctive queries this way. But that's an aside. It's not relevant to, I just wanted to mention to connect to what Anous mentioned today. So we have canonical queries and canonical instances. And here is another example. If we start with this conjunctive query, then we get the corresponding canonical instance. And there is a very, very basic fact which should be obvious. And the obvious fact is that every database, if you have a canonical query, then the canonical instance satisfies the query, right? I mean, that's pretty much by English. Or else, then a Scott said one is a self-proving kind of theorem, right? All right. So now, I want to, I'm almost ready to give you the proof of the Chandramenian theorem. And this uses a very simple lemma. When I teach this to my students, I call it the magic lemma just to get them excited, but there is nothing really magic about this lemma other than trying to catch your attention. So the magic lemma, which I'll save it here, says that the following are equivalent. The following are equivalent for some database J for some conjunctive query Q and some instance J. One is that J satisfies the query and two, that there is a homomorphism. H from the canonical instance of the query to J. And this is really nothing else but the semantics of first order logic, when you come to this simple fragment of conjunctive query. Why is that? Well, let me argue informally here, because suppose that J satisfies the query. The query is of this form. There exists x1, exists xm3, right? Therefore, by the semantics of first order logic, it means there are elements, say 1am in the domain, such that when you plug them in the formula, the formula becomes true. But this really means that the function that assigns to every variable value ai is a homomorphism from iq to J. Just follow the definition. And vice versa, if there is a homomorphism from iq to J, then these values, these are values iq is the instance you get from the query, right? So the active domain are the variables. So now we have ways to instantiate the variables and make the query true. So these are, we can use the values of the homomorphism to give values as the interpretation of the existential quantifier. So this is not a deep lemma, it's just the semantics of first order logic. And now I'm ready with this to show you the proof of the Xandramellin theorem. In fact, the Xandramellin theorem, you can state it into two different equivalent forms. One is dual of the other. So here is the Xandramellin theorem. It says that if you have, I'll state it first for Boolean conjunctive queries and then we will consider queries with positive variety. It says that the following are equivalent for conjunctive queries. One is contained in the other. Two, there is a homomorphism made from iq prime to iq. In other words, the canonical instance of the bigger one can be homomorphically mapped into the canonical instance of the smaller one. They cross, they're not paradoxical, they cross, they're nothing paradoxical actually. And the third is that iq satisfies q prime. Let me write it here. Xandramellin 1977. And it says if I have q and q prime, which are conjunctive queries, then the following are equivalent. One, q is contained in q prime. Two, there is a homomorphism made from, there exists a homomorphism made from iq prime to iq. And three, iq, the canonical instance of q satisfies q prime. The dual form is where you start with the instances. And you ask yourself, is it the case that there is a homomorphism from i to i prime? In other words, do we get a yes answer to the homomorphism question? This equivalent to i prime satisfying the canonical conjunctive query of i and it's equivalent to qi prime contained in qi. Now this is interesting, right? Because you take this homomorphism problem that I showed you is very rich. You can do satisfiability, colorability, planning, in fact all of constraint satisfaction and the database theories become very heavy, it's a database problem, right? Conjunctive query containment or conjunctive query evaluation. Notice that there is something else that's interesting about this theorem before getting into the proof. If you look at the first statement, I give you two queries and I ask you, is it the case that q is contained in q prime? This requires what kind of statement is this? For all databases, right? This is a big universal quantifier, this is for all i. But look at this statement. This is now an existential statement. There is a homomorphism, right? Sounds a little bit like the completeness theorem. What is true on all structures is exactly what has a proof, right? That's the essence of the completeness theorem. We turn a universal quantifier into an existential quantifier. So this has a little bit of this flavor. Well, that's why we're getting NP complete. It's exactly right. But on the other hand, this is also at the logical level, this is also second order. We are quantifying over all databases, right? But the point is that this is an infinite set, while this is a finite space. So we are turning, in fact, an infinite set to a finite set. Notice also that this is interesting in its own right because to verify this statement, q contained in q prime, this means that for every database you have to test that q of i is contained in q prime of i. This tells you it's enough to test it in only one database, right? So again, we did use a complicated test to something simple. All right. So now we are ready to prove the homomorphism theorem. And we are going to use a magic lemma. So let me ask you, how many times do you think we're going to use the magic lemma in this proof? It's 1 implies 2, 2 implies 3, 3 implies 1. So how many times should we use it? 1? Any other guess? 3, 5. All right, so let's see why. So let's prove 1 implies 2. So assume that q is contained in q prime. This means that on every database you have the containment. In particular, look, we had this trivial fact that the canonical database of q satisfies q, right? Therefore, the canonical database of q satisfies q prime, right? Ah, by the magic lemma, it means there is a homomorphism from iq prime to iq. I'll be using the magic lemma for different substitutions for j and q of course, right? 2 implies 3 is again an application of the magic lemma in the other direction, right? If there is a homomorphism from iq prime to iq by the magic lemma, okay? 2 implies 1, it follows that iq satisfies q prime. So we've used it twice. So let's now prove that 3 implies 1. So assume that iq satisfies q prime. By the magic lemma, there is a homomorphism h from iq prime to iq. That's what we have. Now we have to prove that q is contained in q prime. Now there is no other way, but start with some j that satisfies q and we have to prove that j satisfies q prime. So start with a j that satisfies q. Well, by the magic lemma, that's the fourth application, there is a homomorphism h prime from iq to j. But now look, we have a homomorphism from iq prime to iq and a homomorphism from iq to j. There is a nice thing about homomorphism, they compose. That's obvious from the definition. So the composition gives us a homomorphism from iq prime to j. So by the magic lemma, that's the fifth application, we get that j satisfies q prime. So basically, this was really all that was in the Sandra Menin theorem. In 1977, you could get a stock paper, not today, right? The proof looked more complicated there, but it's nice. We can fit it in one slide after we have built this machine. This is a very simple result, but extremely, extremely useful as you will see. I mean, we will see many applications of this as we go along. And I hope it's clear. Any questions about this? All right. So here is an example. These are two queries. These are conjunctive queries. Well, look, I claim that q is contained in q prime. Q is contained in q prime because there is a homomorphism. By the way, I don't know if you see what is the canonical instance of q prime. Do you see? This is a cycle with four elements, right? So I'm just too colouring this cycle with four elements. That's my homomorphism. So there is a homomorphism from iq prime to iq, because iq prime is the cycle with four elements and has a homomorphism to the first one, which is just the edge, right? So there is this homomorphism and the other way around, it's very easy to see there is an obvious homomorphism from iq to iq prime, namely the one, the identity. So the two together tells you that these two queries are actually equivalent, right? Because we have containment going either way. Of course, you could reason it in a different way, but ultimately you'll have to use something like this. It's just an illustration of the homomorphism theorem. So we saw before that the graph is three-colourably, and only if there is a homomorphism from the graph to k3. But now we can use the Chandramelian theorem to give database, equivalent descriptions of this. This means that k3, the clique with three elements, satisfies the canonical conjunctive query of a graph. And of course this also means that the canonical conjunctive query of q3 is contained in the canonical conjunctive query of z. So really this tells you that you can take db2 or oracle and use it to do three-colourability. Not a good idea. Why is that? Because look, see what happens here. Look at this one. You have a tiny little database. There comes this big graph. So you take a huge conjunctive query with as many conjuncts, elements in the join as the edges, right? And that's not what the database systems are good at doing. We are using relatively small queries and huge databases, right? But in principle you could use a database solver to do a colourability and of course to do satisfiability testing. So by the way this answers your question about the uniqueness. I mean here you have lots and lots of homomorphism, in fact as many as the colour. Okay. What happens if the queries are not Boolean, if you have positive parity? The homomorphism theorem goes through but with a slight modification. So let's assume that the queries in the head, they have the same three variables. Then containment means there is a homomorphism which from the canonical database of the bigger to the canonical database of the smaller which maps the variables of the head to the variables of the head one by one. So the homomorphism cannot move these variables around, it respects them. And this is the same as saying that look, now Q prime has three variables. So IQ together with these elements satisfy the canonical conjunctive query of Q prime. So it goes through, it's a little easier to do it for conjunctive queries and then you can play with applications. For instance you can prove that if you take this binary conjunctive queries Q and Q prime Q is contained in Q prime simply because you have a homomorphism from IQ prime to IQ and here is the homomorphism IQ that you verify. So that's illustrating the homomorphism theorem. So now we have of course made progress to understand the combined complexity of conjunctive query containment and conjunctive query evaluation because we now know that the following problems aren't be complete. Given two Boolean conjunctive queries is one contained in the other given a Boolean conjunctive query and an instance that the instance satisfy the query they are the same as the homomorphism problem by Sandra Merlin and therefore since the homomorphism theorem isn't be complete these aren't be complete. What about conjunctive query equivalence? This was containment and evaluation. Well that's very easy to see also and the reason is the following that it's very easy to see that the following problem isn't be complete. I give you a graph that contains a triangle. Is it free colorable? That's NP complete. You just take your graph and add a design triangle. Given a graph containing a triangle is it free colorable? That's NP complete. But now if you have a graph that contains a triangle then the graph is free colorable if and only if its canonical conjunctive query is homomorphic equivalent to the conjunctive query of the clique. So we get that the conjunctive query equivalence problem is also NP complete. So here is a picture. This is in some sense a very crisp way to quantify the gain in complexity and this ability that we obtained by lowering our expressive power. We gave up on union, we gave up on difference. We just kept projection selections and very careful selections just conjunctions of equality. So our language became more limited but we replaced undecidability by NP completeness for both equivalence and containment. What about the query evaluation? Well, the gain of course is in the combined complexity, right? Where it dropped to NP complete. For data complexity we are still in log space because we had the log space even for the full calculus. So the lesson is that, yes, you can get better behavior for these three fundamental database problems if you make your language smaller, right? I mean that's the lesson. Therefore, having seen this, okay, let me not say much about this because Vardy probably is going to talk a lot about this because the combined complexity is, yes, it's decidable but it's NP complete, it's not as bad as P space but it's still NP complete. A lot of work has gone into finding tractable case of combined complexity. This started with a very nice paper on acyclic joints by Michaelis Yanakakis in VLDB 1981 where the idea was to start putting structural conditions on the conjunctive query. Now, since the conjunctive queries are really instances as we just saw you can think of it as being structural restrictions on the instances. So this led to many, many extensions. For instance, if your instances have bounded tree width then you get also tractable behavior. There are generalizations to something called bounded hyper tree width and there is extensive interaction between constraint satisfaction, logic and graph theory and that goes into this area. But this is a little bit, I mean I could give a whole course on this and I have in the past but I will just move on. So we saw before that the gain was this by restricting the language. Now we can go back and say let's look at what we gave up. So we gave up these two operations, right? And also here we kept only a quality, right? Let's try to put some of these operations back and see what happens to the complexity. Okay, so probably the most natural thing to do next would be to consider relational algebra expressions that also allow union. So in other words we are talking now about unions of conjunctive queries. So a union of conjunctive queries is simply a disjunction of conjunctive queries. An injunction of these simple existential formulas where each of them is a conjunctive query and there is another way to think of this. Namely if you go back to the algebra you can see what am I going to get if I close my relations under the operations of union, projection selection with the quality conditions. The union of conjunctive queries you can think of this as being a normal form, right? Like a sum of products. So the second one is what I will call for the purposes here monotone query. Sometimes people call it positive query. So again a union of conjunctive queries is a disjunction of conjunctive queries. A monotone query is an expression of algebra that uses only union, Cartesian product, projection and selection with the quality conditions. Clearly every union of conjunctive queries is a monotone query. The converse is also true that if you have an expression built from these operations union, projection, Cartesian product, selection with the quality only you can transform it into a union of conjunctive queries but there is a blow up in general. There is a blow up in general. It's the same blow up when you take something like conjunctive normal form you translate to disjunctive normal form. So monotone queries are precisely the queries expressible in first order logic using conjunction, disjunction and the extension quantification. Here is an example of this transformation. This query is a monotone query is a join. Remember the join is really conjunctive query applied to a union. This is equivalent to this union of conjunctive queries but you can see we have made it much bigger. But in terms of expressive power are the same. We are going to see an interesting trade-off now as we go along. So it's everyone clear. We are talking about the same class of queries but with two different syntactic ways to express them. Let's first talk about the union of conjunctive queries. Saigiven Yanakakis in 1981, the same year that Yanakakis had his paper in VLDB they had another paper in VLDB where among other things they had this nice result. It's a simple result. I'll show you the proof. It settles the containment problem for unions of conjunctive queries. And says the following thing. Suppose I have two finite unions of conjunctive queries. One is contained in the other. If and only if for every i on the left between 1 up to m there is a j on the right from 1 up to n so that qi is contained in qj' Intuitively what it says it is obvious that if two holds one holds, right? That's the most blatant way we have containment. This theorem tells you, when you talk about unions of conjunctive queries the most blatant way that this can take place is the only way it can take place. And the proof now is a two line proof if you use the Sandra Merlin theorem. Let's see why. So I'm going to prove only one implies two. I argue that two implies one is obvious. We're going to use the homomorphism theorem. So we assume one holds. We want to prove that each qi is contained in some qj' So let's take one of them. Take qi. Well we know one database that satisfies qi. It's the canonical database. So the canonical database of qi satisfies qi. Therefore it must satisfy the right-hand side. Therefore it must satisfy one member of the union. But now by the homomorphism theorem we have that i qi satisfies qj' by the homomorphism theorem qi must be contained in qj'. So that's a trivial proof using the Sandra Merlin theorem. So that's the power of this result. The other direction is obvious. Any questions about that? Very simple. But now look at this gives us. This tells us that the query containment problem for unions of conjunctive queries is NP-complete. Is it NP? Well the NP-hardness is even the special case for conjunctive queries. The membership follows because now we can take all these homomorphisms and do a big guess. We can combine polynomially many guesses to one big polynomial guess. So for every query on the left we guess some query on the right and the homomorphism. We can verify. So we guess some pairs and verify that for every i less than or equal to an m this function is a homomorphism from one to the other. Of course the NP-hardness follows from the previous from the case that even for conjunctive queries NP-hard. I will let you verify that the query evaluation problem for unions of conjunctive queries is NP-complete. That's an easy exercise. So now this is nice because it tells us that we could throw in the union and not make things worse than they were without the union. Okay, this looks promising. So now let's look at the monotone queries. Remember the monotone queries have the same expressive power as the unions of conjunctive queries. But we saw that the syntax is more compact. Well, Sageven Yanakakis had another result in the same paper. They didn't have just the almost trivial theorem I showed you before. They saw that for monotone queries the containment problem is pi to p-complete. Basically this is the price you pay to translate the monotone to the normal form as unions of conjunctive queries. And pi to p is the second level of the polynomial hierarchy contains NP-contained in p-space. Of course, the prototypical problem is, for all, the quantified Boolean formulas with two alternations starting with the universal. So what comes out of this is that when we go to monotone queries, we have the same expressive power, more compact syntax, and we pay a price in query equivalence and query containment. We go from NP-complete to pi to p-complete. But nonetheless certainly below p-space which was the full case. So this gives a pretty good analysis of what happens if we include the union. We can try to put a little bit of negation. And the most innocent form of negation that you can think is what happens if you allow in the selection conditions inequalities. They are not equal or less than. So what happens if we also allow inequalities? In this case you talk about conjunctive queries with inequalities. So for example, this would be a conjunctive query with some inequalities. My first look was a very bright young student that was constantly, but unfortunately died very, very young in 1988. So that the query containment problem for conjunctive queries with inequalities is in pi to p. And van der Maiden ten years later proved a much lower bound in POT 92 that it is pi to p hard. So we understand completely that the containment problem for conjunctive queries with inequalities is pi to p-complete. The evaluation problem stays in the same complexity as before as NP-complete. I'm not going to show you this. In effect what you lose here is the homomorphism theorem. And what you lose here is that you're not dealing really with only one canonical database. You can think that these inequalities are describing some partial relations between some equality types between the elements. And then you have to take on all possible databases that extend this type, complete this type. And that's exactly where the complexity, that's exactly the complexity to go up.

Hello! Good morning everyone! We're all excited for the weekend. It's gonna be an excellent set of talks. I looked at the list again this morning to see the final list here and I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to be here in India. I'm excited to be giving your opening keynote today. My name is Charles Nutter. You can call me Charlie. I am one of the JRuby guys, the core JRuby folks, have been working on JRuby now for almost six years, full-time, first at Sun Microsystems, may they rest in peace, and then now at Engine Yard for the past several years and we're very thankful that Engine Yard supported us. I just want to tell you all I'm really excited to meet each and every one of you, so don't be afraid. Come up and talk to me. I want to know what you're doing with Ruby and I want to know how folks like me on the JRuby team, other implementers, other people involved in Ruby can help make your Ruby experience better. So let's let's get into this now. So we're all here because of Ruby, obviously. How many of you are paid to do Ruby right now? Almost the whole room. There are a few folks who are still working on it but that's excellent. At Ruby conferences when I first started going in 2004-2005 there were one or two hands that would go up, maybe one or two hands for people that were paid to work on Ruby and they were usually people involved in the conference and setting it up and so they didn't really count anyway. They were the people pushing it forward. But now everybody has an opportunity to use Ruby, everybody's getting paid to use Ruby and it's changed so much and it continues to grow and what I thought I'd do for the keynote today is talk a little bit about where we stand as a community, what we're doing with Ruby right now, what the landscape of the community, who the people are that are doing Ruby, see what sort of challenges Ruby has in the future and then talk about how you are going to help us address them, how the implementations are going to help address them and make sure that everybody has something that they're going to go do to help Ruby move forward in the future. All right. So we'll talk on the grand scale here. The world of Ruby, the Ruby world right now. As it stands today there are roughly a million to two million. The conservative estimate is a million Ruby developers in the world right now. Across all countries, so many people that are doing Ruby, this is paid, paid work in Ruby. If we expand on this a little bit, Mott's claimed that at red.rubyconf in Singapore just recently, he actually threw out the two million number. So the original one million number was a Gartner estimate in 2009, 2010 or so. Now Mott's is hearing estimates getting numbers in the two million range. And then we go even further beyond that. Gartner's now estimating that there'll probably be four million developers by the year 2013. It's continuing to grow. And they go out and they interview all these companies and they find out what technologies they're using, what they're looking to put into production. And they see that Ruby continues to grow at a rate that'll bring it up to four million developers in 2013 and then continue to grow beyond that. So just those numbers already are amazing for a community, a language community like Ruby. And then because we have all of these people working on Ruby, there are dozens and dozens of conferences around the world. I think there are more conferences for Ruby than any other programming language, probably for any other single technology. In the United States, there's probably a dozen, 15, 20 different conferences in various areas that are all close to this size. Conferences on just about every continent and almost every major country. There are Ruby conferences that you can go to. It's a great opportunity to travel too. But it's amazing that there's that much support and that much interest in Ruby across the world. Let's take a look at a few of those. One that I went to recently, I went to RubyConf Uruguay last year, which was great for me because as a kid, we studied Uruguay. We studied Montevideo as our sister city, just random occurrence that it turned out I got to go there for RubyConf. So I went to Montevideo in 2010 and that year, their first year of the conference, Montevideo is a city of about one and a half million people. They managed to bring in 150 attendees. And that's 150 attendees when they had RubyConf Brazil, the big one, the week before, they had another RubyConf that was going to be the following week. And they still managed to bring in 150 folks. And even then they managed to have increased that the next year. 300 people came in in 2011. And in 2011, there were four or five Ruby conferences in South America. So even with an expansion of the conferences that were available for the Spanish and Portuguese South American Rubyists, they still doubled the number of people that they had come to the conference. That gives you an idea of how rapidly things are growing in Ruby right now. And then of course, we have India here. So we look at numbers RubyConf India 2010 had an amazing milestone of the most number, not the highest percentage, the most number of women attendees of any Ruby conference. And if you go to any of the Ruby conferences, the large ones, there's constant lament that we need more women developers, we need to bring more people in. So RubyConf in India 2010 had that really distinct really special milestone. Last year, 400 people, I at least I think it was 400 people came to Bangalore. So the IT center of India managed to bring in 400 people. And then here in Pune, which is not Bangalore, it's still got a lot of technology going on a lot of great companies. Does the number go down? No, it's 400 as you saw in AJ's opening. It's actually more. We got more than 400 people that are willing to come out to Pune from 35 cities, seven countries to be here for RubyConf India. Again, continuing to grow, continuing to draw more people in. I mentioned Brazil. Brazil is a big one is a massive developer community in Brazil. They have the largest Java user group in the world. And they're working on having probably the largest Ruby presence of any single country in the future. So RubyConf Brazil 2010, they had 700 people. That was maybe the second or third, I think, of RubyConf that they had had there. So 700 was a great number of people to bring in from all over South America. And you also have to consider that Brazil is a Portuguese speaking country. They managed to do a really solid job of doing multilingual translations, Spanish and English and Portuguese and brought in people from all over South America to be at the RubyConf. In 2011, they managed to bump it up even more. The venue was limiting as far as how many people they could fit, but they had full live streaming of the conference and 500 people that followed along with the conference the entire weekend. So 1200 people that they had in attendance in one way or another. And for a two day conference that had two or three tracks, 15 of the speakers did not live in Brazil. They came from different countries. So that's like a full day and a half or more of talks that were done by people from outside the country that came into Brazil and wanted to speak. Let's take a look at the United States. Obviously, the United States has the original Ruby conferences. So they started things going a little bit sooner. We'll talk about RubyConf. So RubyConf, as anybody who's tried to get into it knows, it sells out every year. In previous years, it's sold out in a day or two. They've had limited venue size. They've wanted to keep the conference small and intimate. And as a result, the conference sold out 300, 400, 600 people almost immediately. This most recent year, 2011, 850 people is the largest RubyConf that had ever been done in the United States. They managed to open up a large enough venue, get enough people in and had 850 for the first time. And that number is impressive for a Ruby conference. So far, that's the largest one that we've talked about RubyConf at 850 until you look at RailsConf. RailsConf this past year had 1,800 attendees. And that's for a web framework that is now four, five years old that's still drawing in two to three times as much as the next competing web framework in any other language every year, bringing in that number of people. And then finally, we'll take a look at Japan where Ruby came from, the heart of Ruby. In 2010, RubyKaigi in Japan hosted 2,000 people from all over the world. It was the largest single international Ruby conference anywhere. That was 2010. It went up again in 2011. I don't have the exact numbers, but in 2011, the conference got so large that the group of community organizers putting it together decided that it was just too big for a group of community folks to put together. And so they're splitting it up and doing multiple conferences in Japan now because there's so much interest and so many people want to come to Ruby conferences in Japan. So it's amazing. Ruby really is everywhere and there's so many people that are getting interested in it. So much growth, despite what people might say, despite what you might hear, there is a lot of interest and continuing growth in Ruby right now. Now, that doesn't mean that everything's perfect. There are certainly some challenges that we have in the Ruby world. Ruby has to grow just like any other technology does with new challenges, new applications, new technology. And we have to find a way to solve those. So I figured we need to get these out in the open. We need to talk about what the challenges are for Ruby in the future so that we all can work as a team to bring Ruby into the future and make sure we address all of these issues. So let's take a look at what we've got. Is anybody doing an application that they describe as a big data application? All right, there's a few. I've got some numbers that'll show you that in the next few years you're probably all going to be dealing with big data in some way. So let's talk about big data. What is big? There's been a lot of definitions. Some people say big data is more than I can imagine. That's a pretty good definition. It's more than I can process in a day. That's a pretty good, pretty good definition. So I went looking around to see what other metrics there were. Big data means massive capacity, massive amount of information that's being created, and the challenges of trying to process all that. This is actually a figure that has been true since the early 80s. Our capacity for data, the world storage capacity for data in all computer systems has doubled about every 40 months for the past 30 years. And you can imagine what the numbers are there. We're talking exabytes upon exabytes. Let's see how much we're actually creating. Right now, this is a number from middle of 2000, 2011. So it's even increased more. Every single day, 2.5 exabytes of data is being created in some form or another. Who knows what an exabyte is? You don't even know how much it is. That's big data. It's so big you don't even know how much, how big it is. So you have gigabyte, petabyte, or gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, exabyte. It's quintillion bytes, 2.5 quintillion bytes every day being created right now. So now, that's impressive, right? That's a massive amount of data. Now, if we look at the future, 2013, it's estimated that the data flow on the internet will actually be in the neighborhood of 667 exabytes per annual data flow. Now, if you do the math there, that means that the amount of data that's being created and stored right now will be transmitted on the internet within the next two years. And you can imagine how much more data is actually going to be created at the same time because the networks never keep up with our demand for them. Look at some more metrics. So the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, basically trying to map out digitally the entire night sky. In its first few weeks, this was in 2000, its first few weeks, it gathered more information from the sky than had ever been gathered in the history of astronomy. And that's just the first few weeks that this was in operation. To date, it's gathered 140 terabytes. So this is one project that's generated 140 terabytes of sky information, digital sky mapping. And of course, that's a lot, but we top that again, right? In 2016, the largest an optic survey telescope goes online and will produce that much data every five days. And that much data needs to be processed and managed. That's big data. That's why we need to be looking at how we handle data more quickly, how we process information as fast as possible. And that's why Ruby has to keep up with the rest of the world and has to perform and has to be able to handle these massive data sets. All right, now if we're going to have all this data, we're going to process all of this data, we need to be able to do it across a wide range of processors. So what are the facts here on multiprocessing? Some of you have heard this. The free lunch is over. A lot of you have probably heard. So let's look back historically. 1978, Intel's best X86 processor, the 8086, could in one of the packages do a whopping 10 megahertz. I actually had a machine that was an X86. I had an old IBM XT with a 10 megabyte hard drive that I think cost like $15,000 or something like that. My dad bought that for his stuff. But I was the coolest kid on the block with that 10 megabyte hard drive. So 10 megahertz. Now if we look 14, 16 years later or so, we managed to get an order of magnitude increase on that, finally. 486 DX, which I also had a DX4, 100 megahertz. So we get an order of 10 improvement and it looked like this was going to continue forever. We go less than 14, less than 10 years later, the Pentium 3 was managing to run at 1 gigahertz. And so then obviously by now we should all be running 10 gigahertz machines, of course. And I'm sure we all have those, right? No, of course, it doesn't work that way. We hit a limit on how many transitions we could fit into a small package, how much data we could process. We hit the speed of light limit. We couldn't actually move data fast enough on the core of the processor to keep up with this growth. So things slow down. 2006, Core 2 duos, 3.3 gigahertz. So now we got five years and we're only getting about an order of three or three order magnitude there, or three multiplied for our original amount. And then again, another five years, we don't even get that again. 3.8 is the best you could get off of the standard processors this past year. And it's not going to go a whole lot above that. Maybe four, maybe in the mid fours sometime. But the limits have been reached as far as what we can do on a per core basis to process this data. We have to expand. We have to make it wider. We can't make it deeper. Another way of looking at this, and actually you can see there, this is, you notice something about this chip die? It's a bunch of repetition here. So this is an eight core chip. Each core has its own cache, its own memory cache. These cores need to be able to operate mostly independently to be able to process all that data. So now let's talk about cores. Since we can't make each core faster, we need to make more of them. So our good friend Moore's Law, which still still tends to be true. Moore's Law says that we can increase the number of transistors on a processor, double it about every 18 months or so. That's been the metric even going back before transistors were in silicon. You can actually trace this back and it is held true for 50 years. Now the problem here is that with core sizes leveling off, there's only so many transistors we can fit in each core. So what do we do? We're going to expand the number of cores. Now if we're going to still talk about doubling transistors size, if Moore's Law is still going to hold true, what does that mean for core counts on the processes we're using? Well, if we have eight cores in 2010, we'll have 32 by 2015 and we'll probably have as a common machine 128 core machines by 2018. So single threaded processing is just not going to satisfy the needs of computing in 2015 or 2018. We need to find better ways to multiprocess and to take advantage of all the silicon on the cores. Alright, now combining these two things. We have big data, we have lots of cores and we need to process it as fast as possible. Obviously the just straight line performance is going to be a very key part of this as well. So we've got these cores, they're not really getting faster at this point. We've got all this data that is growing exponentially. The more we can do to make to get more work done in less time, the more successful we're going to be. Each of those cores needs to be used to its maximum. All of the cores need to be saturated if we're going to get stuff done because we have to make this data work. There's just too much to crank through the systems, too much to process and this is one that's driven me nuts for years. People have said for years that you know it's okay if Ruby is not that fast. It doesn't really have to be that fast. Performance doesn't really matter, it's not that important. Now that can be true if you're running a one little small application, one little app, one server, maybe one or two instances. Yeah, performance doesn't matter then, but performance does start to matter when it gets to the point that you actually need things to run fast. When you need to be able to handle thousand transactions. So Ruby is not exempt from this. Just because we can call into other libraries, we can call into other systems, we can spread it out across a few processes. If each of those processes is taking ten times or a hundred times as long to process data as writing something in Java or Scala or JavaScript, guess what? People are not going to use Ruby. They're going to move on. Ruby is a beautiful and wonderful language, but it is not so beautiful that it can get out of a hundred times difference in performance or even a ten times difference in performance. And that's where we need to do more work. We need to do more work in libraries and obviously folks like me need to do more work at the VM level. Alright, and mobile is kind of the last area that I want to cover. Some of these numbers are just baffling because this is where a lot of the data is actually coming from, processed. So as of mid-2011 of all mobile subscribers, all mobile accounts in the United States, 43% of them were smartphones at that point and that's continuing to increase. And smartphone users use more and more data every year. The United States data providers have all now had to institute caps. They had unlimited data for a while but there's just too many of these phones out there, too many people on them. Now that actually adds up to a hundred million smartphone devices in just the U.S. alone. Now the numbers globally, the percentages are a little bit different, but it's still high. 30% of all mobile devices globally are also smartphones. So this is one of the biggest development opportunities, the biggest development platforms that are available. It's outstripping any other development platform that we have and we need to be able to bring Ruby to these platforms. We'll talk a little bit about how we're going to do that later. And then there's this number, 483 million smartphones shipped last year. Half a billion smartphones and that's continuing to grow every year. I mean, you know, people are obviously throwing a lot of phones out, but at some point everybody's going to have one of these devices and we need to make sure that Ruby is there. All right, so a little bit less technical, less actual technical challenges here. The world has decided that there is not going to be one programming language. Now don't listen to anybody that's saying that JavaScript is going to be the next language and everything's going to be written in JavaScript or it's going to be Scala or it's going to be something else. No, there's too much development, too much code being written for there to be one language that does everything. We use the right tools for the right job now. If you want to use Scala for something that Scala fits, use it. Use the right tool. What we need to do as Rubyists is accept that this is going to be a polyglot world. So let's take a look at some of these numbers. So GitHub, I don't know if people know this. GitHub actually became the top open source hosting site this past year. They just passed up SourceForge, which was originally the biggest. And I think this was mid-2011. They've probably gone much farther than that right now. On GitHub, the top two languages are JavaScript and Ruby. JavaScript with about 20%, Ruby with about 15%. I think this is a line of code. Lines of code count. But those two languages, which various people have said, is going to be the next language that everyone uses, still only account for about 35% of all the code that's on GitHub. And if you look at what's on GitHub, it's mostly new projects. It's projects that have come up in the last three to four years. So this is the language, these are the language that people are using to do new programming. It's not just JavaScript and it's not just Ruby. In fact, the top 10 languages being used for projects on GitHub, mostly new code, still only account for 85% of the code. This is a vast array of languages that are being used to put stuff together for new applications. Ruby is just one of them. And we want Ruby to be everywhere. We want it to fit into the world and we want as many Rubyists as we can. But we need to accept that Ruby isn't the only language. We need to know what these languages are, know their strengths and weaknesses, and make sure that Ruby can fit into their world as well. Now, this is, there's another dimension. Like I say, GitHub is mostly new code. So let's cut this a different way. Olo is another project site that tracks individual open source projects, regardless of where they're hosted. GitHub's numbers tend to get inflated by forks. If it's a project that's popular to fork, if they do a lot of encouraging people to fork, if they have a development process that they want everything to come as pull requests, it blots up numbers a little bit. But Olo just tracks the original source of the project and gets some of the similar numbers. So let's take a look at what this is. The top three languages there, we're talking, they track pretty much every open source project. So this is historical projects as well. C is still the top language as far as historical code that's out there and being used in projects. And actually C and C++, this breakdown is exactly the same for how many lines of code are still being committed to these projects. They're not all on GitHub, they're not all new flashy programs, new flashy libraries, but there's still more work being done in these three languages than almost all the other languages combined. New stuff, yes. We're using interesting fun languages like JavaScript and Ruby and Scala. But there is a lot of existing code out there that we still need to fit into. We need to work with the JavaScript of the world and the C++ of the world. The next 10 languages below that only add another 3.4 billion lines of code. So we're still talking about the vast majority of code that is out there in the world is not Ruby, it's not JavaScript, it's one of these languages. So when we look at how we do Ruby development or how we do JavaScript development or any of the new languages, we need to figure out what our story is dealing with C libraries and Java libraries and existing applications and existing platforms and servers. That's absolutely critical for Ruby to be successful. And in this list, things break down a little differently. JavaScript is not number one, JavaScript is sixth place, Ruby is in it eighth place. So we it's not, Polyglot is not just about using all the crazy new languages that come down the block. Polyglot is about accepting that there is a massive body of existing code out there that needs to fit into our world too. All right, so the last challenge area is the fashionable new technologies that seem to take the wind out of our sales sometimes. I think probably the most fashionable right now is Node.js. Anybody doing Node stuff? A couple folks. That's all the kids in the US are using Node now. It's the greatest thing. It solves all your problems. It makes concurrency just disappear because it's not concurrent. So let's look at an example of why these fashions are so wrong and a hilarious example of why you shouldn't always listen to these trends. You need to figure these things out for yourself. Try it out, play with it. So another language popularity measure, Tyobi, much maligned Tyobi, tracks language popularity over time. They have some historical graphs. Every year they name a new language of the year. Their results are based on Google search results, other search engines, job postings. They sort of aggregate all this together to figure out what the relative popularity of the language is, which seems like it's an okay metric, except that in early 2010, Tyobi declared their language of the year for 2009 was Google Go, which had just been announced three months earlier in November. I don't think you even download it at that point and use it, but there was so much web traffic about this. So many people talking about how Go is going to be the next thing, posting on forums, asking questions, blogging about it, that it bloated these results up. And so everybody all of a sudden said, oh my god, it's the language of the year. It's jumped up to 13th place out of nowhere. Three months and this language is everywhere. Well it wasn't quite what it seemed. Right now Go is not even in the top 50 languages on Tyobi. So don't always listen to the hype. Don't listen to my numbers even. You know go out and check this stuff out for yourself. Find out what technologies are available, try them out, and use them before you decide that this is going to be the next great thing. All right, so how are we going to fix some of these technical problems? So first off, pretty much everything that's doing Ruby right now is using Matz as Ruby, right? Let's get some numbers here. How many people are using Ruby 187? All right, I'm glad to see that those numbers are dropping a little bit. 186? Anybody have any apps still on 186? Oh, that's too bad. Got to move, got to... One of the stragglers. There's always a few, and it's okay, you know, especially if it's a legacy app and it still works, you know, whatever. We still have people that get mad that JRuby doesn't support Java 1.4, so I mean what can we do about that? How about 192 folks? That should be most of the folks there. And then 193? Okay, so 19 has done an incredible job of gaining market share over the past year, and as you can see, MRI still represents the vast majority of Ruby installs that are out there right now. As you saw from the hands here again, Ruby 1.9 adoption is accelerating very rapidly, so rapidly that Rails 4, the Rails core team has said is going to be, it's going to require Ruby 1.9. I don't know if that's set in stone, but it's probably not a bad time for it. Ruby 1.9.2 came out a couple years back, and it was solid. Ruby 1.9.3 cleaned up a bunch of stuff that they missed, and it's solid. Now's a good time to move to Ruby 1.9. And actually JRuby 1.7, which is going to come out at least in preview form in a couple months, will default to Ruby 1.9 mode now. And it'll be the first alternative implementation to actually release 1.9 mode by default. All right, no other implementation has shipped complete 1.9 support yet. I mentioned JRuby. So we still are largely following Ruby, chasing MRI. And even into the 2.0 cycle, JRuby, Rubinius, everyone else is still sort of keeping up with what's going to happen with MatzRuby. Things are slowing down and settling in 2.0, but we're still kind of catching up. So this is still the standard, and this is still what we follow. And if it works for you and you don't have problems, you're not running into any of these other issues, you keep using it. But make sure that you are still supporting MRI, and you still know what the features are that are coming down the line, because everything's going this way. All right, JRuby. This is my baby. So, pretty much everybody knows that JRuby is JRuby basically brings Ruby to the JVM, or, if you look at it differently, it brings JVM to Ruby. So what is the JVM? Give us, why do we even bother with this? Well, the JVM has been designed around big data applications, massive parallel processing applications, high performance applications. It's almost silly now when people tell me that they don't think the JVM or they don't think the Java can perform. They can do a tremendously good job of performing and processing massive amounts of data. It's far easier to process it across multiple cores than in most other languages. So these are where the JVM shines, and you get this stuff out of the box with JRuby. You just get it for free. JRuby also runs on Android devices. This is the most popular smartphone platform now, and the fastest growing by far. They've come in three years from being fourth or fifth, as far as smartphones go, to being number one worldwide. Forty-three percent of smartphone devices worldwide are now Android devices, and that's the largest percentage. All right, and JRuby uses, of course, can use anything that Java servers have available. So again, the polyglot aspect. You can use the existing libraries pretty much seamlessly. You can deploy on the existing servers. You can fit into existing organization. So JRuby's got a lot of different angles where we're helping tackle these issues. If you haven't tried JRuby, you really should give it a shot. All right, Rubinius. So one of the problems that JRuby has is that since we are on the JVM, and the JVM is very, very much abstracted across platforms, lower-level things sometimes are tricky. POSIX libraries, C extensions. Rubinius is basically a complete rewrite, complete re-implementation of a native C-level Ruby VM. It's written as C++ VM, and then the core classes are largely implemented in Ruby. That's one of the design goals. Makes it easier to maintain, easier to improve it over time. And it is the only VM that is implemented specifically for Ruby, other than Matz's Ruby, of course. There are other VMs that are built on top of the JVM, built on top of the Ejective C runtime. Rubinius is the only one that's been designed purposefully to run Ruby code, and that's going to help them in the future. At some point, they probably will be able to do optimizations that will be difficult or impossible for us to do on the JVM, because the JVM is a general platform, a general language runtime. Someday, it'll be good to get to that point. So Rubinius offers a lot of similar features, not on the same scope or scale, that the JVM does, but they offer much better garbage collector than the standard Ruby implementation. They have parallel threads now on master. It's not released yet, but it's pretty solid. There are a few folks that are running with real, real parallel threads in standard Ruby applications and still using native extensions. They've done a very good job of making C extensions work properly in Rubinius. We've got partial support in JVM, but it's a really hard problem, so I respect them for trying to tackle that one. And Rubinius 2.0, which is supposed to come out sometime soon, is also going to have 1.9 support. So again, everything is moving to 1.9. If you haven't moved to 1.9, your next project should be there. All right. Now another approach of the big data, who's heard of Maglev, you folks. Maglev is basically, it's a Ruby implementation atop the Gemstone Smalltalk VM. Now the big sell for the Gemstone products is that they have a distributed data cache across all of these instances, pretty much transparent, transactional, full-acid compliant. So when you talk about having big data and being able to process it across multiple instances, that's just built in. I mean, these products have been made for big data from the beginning. In fact, it's almost to their fault. People think, oh, I can only use this if I'm a shipping container company across 40 countries. Well, no, you can do pretty much any big data stuff with this and have the benefit of visibility of that data across all of these different instances across machines even. So what Maglev brings to Ruby is this enterprise-class object-oriented database stuff. A native JIT is based on the Smalltalk JIT for their Gemstone Smalltalk product, which also helps Ruby performance improve quite a bit. I think they, a couple years back, they were boasting that they could run the pure Ruby MySQL driver as fast as the C1 that was wrapped for MRI. That gives you an idea of how the performance goes on Maglev. And then this whole distributed shared memory cache is the big sell. If that's something that you're looking for, doing a large dataset with multiple instances working against it, Maglev might be something to look at. And then coming back full circle to simple desktops and mobile devices again, Mac Ruby is an implementation of Ruby that basically just runs atop all of Mac OS' core technologies. Cocoa and the Objective-C runtime and the Objective-C garbage collector. So it's, I kind of, I call it Objective-Ruby because that's kind of what it is. It basically allows you to use Ruby to write anything, any programs that you would use Objective-C for. Is anybody doing iOS development? Okay, there's a few folks. So right now, you can use Mac Ruby to build applications for the Mac App Store. And there's actually two or three apps that have been published to the App Store right now. And I don't know the progress of this. I don't know if it's secret, but is supposed to be possible soon to even write iOS developments entirely in Ruby with full access to all the same APIs you use from Objective-C. So that, that sounds great. I mean, if I was going to write an iOS application, I certainly would prefer using Ruby over Objective-C. Okay, so that's the VMs. That's what we're doing as implementers to try and help Ruby make it into the future and survive. Now, we need to know what you're going to do. We're meeting you halfway and we'll help make sure your stuff runs as well as possible. But what are you going to do? Well, we look at this. The Ruby community continues to grow. You've seen the numbers. You've seen all the folks here. There's more and more Rubyists out there. And even with these growth numbers, there are still way more jobs, a lot more work to be done than the available Rubyists can do. So we need to draw more people in. We need to find additional folks to work on Ruby stuff, talk to our friends, go to other events, and show them what's going on with Ruby. The work is continuing to increase all the time. Despite what people say, Rails still is the easiest way to get a web application up and going. I mean, there's... Every framework has its warps. Every framework has its growing pains. But if you want to put something up fast that has a full stack behind it, nothing is as fast as Rails yet. It's true. So we need you. We need your friends. We need your friends' friends. We need their cousins and their uncles. We need everybody. We need to show them how easy it is to build this stuff. Go out and teach some more folks. Get a user group going in your local community or participate in it. Bring folks in. One of the big programs that's been going on in the U.S. now is they have KidsRuby. They have a Rails bridge where they basically bring in non-programmers who've never programmed before and show them they can build web applications in a day. And they actually succeed to get applications up and going. You can do that here. You can do that anywhere. And that's how we're going to bring more people in and be able to fill the work that needs to be done and grow the community at the same time. And of course, Ruby itself is only part of the story. This is only one piece. We can make Ruby implementations fast. We can make Ruby run well. But it's your projects, your patches, your contributions to the community that make Ruby grow. You are the reason why conferences year on year continue to get larger, why there's more Ruby work, why the number of Ruby is worldwide is continuing to grow. So if you don't get anything else out of this conference, at least try one of the other implementations. There's five or six JRuby talks here. At least one of them has to be some domain that you're interested in. So try out a different implementation. I don't even care if it's JRuby. Try Rubinius or Maglev or whatever. If you want to get involved in projects, I strongly encourage helping out. Every single open source project out there has a stack of bugs. Rails, JRuby, Rubinius, everybody has issues that they need fixed. And we need folks like you that can come in and help. Sometimes it's just going over the bugs and confirming they're still broken. JRuby has 750 open issues, going back six, seven years. They're not all valid. But who wants to sit there and review 750 issues every six months? That's the sort of thing that somebody can come in, get a feel for where the project is at, what past problems were, and maybe find stuff that's fixed and help us just get things under control. Or start a project of your own. It's easy. If there's some library that you don't like, some library that's not being maintained, you can take it over. If there's some API that's missing, some utility that you've been using in your own projects, just spin it off. Find a way to get it out there so people can help out with your project and your project can help out people. All right. So finally, the last thing that I want to recommend here for everybody is to just stand out. Be different. That's what's made Ruby great is that we've cut against the grain. We've fought against what people have told us. Ruby is supposed to be dead five years ago. Rails was a flash in the pan. And now it's all bigger than ever. So stand out in the crowd. Don't let everybody just bully you into going one way or another. Try out other frameworks. There's a new Ruby web framework every couple of weeks. Some of the ideas get folded back into Rails. Some of them don't. Try something new. Do a project that's based entirely on Sinatra or one of the other little frameworks. Go to other conferences and user groups. Go right into the belly of the beast. Submit when there's Java conferences. Submit talks on Ruby. You can say it's J Ruby. You know? It's a total scam, but it totally works. You know, say, you know, make up some marketing title like scaling the enterprise web application with Ruby. That works. That actually works. It's sad, but... So go to these conferences. Go to these other user groups. Learn from them. I mean, the Java guys are not all dumb. They've got some great stuff. Obviously Java's not dying off. It's been growing bigger and faster than ever. There's something going on there. Learn what it is. Learn what's cool about Scala and Clojure. Learn Haskell and then put it away. But go there and try these things out. Learn from them and teach them. Show them why you love Ruby. Show them what it is that Ruby means to you and why you stay in this community and why you keep building applications year after year in Ruby. And, you know, above all, show them that you're proud to be a Rubyist. That you're proud of what you're doing. You're proud of the community that we have here. And they'll want to join you. They'll come along with us. All right. That's it. Thank you. Now, it's 45 minutes. We have time for a few questions if anybody has any thoughts. Yeah. You grab the microphone. Yeah. So Ian Ruby is still kind of a sad story. I was really excited for Ian Ruby because it is like JRuby's little brother. Just like the CLR. It's kind of the JVM's little brother or, you know, big brother, depending on which side you're on. But they were doing a great job on it. It is still out there. They spun it off completely as normal open. So I think it's actually Apache 2 license now. But I think at some point they decided that either they didn't want to continue to fund Ruby development or development on Ian Ruby or they just wanted to push those resources elsewhere. I mean, they were smart guys, great guys that were working on this stuff. And I can understand why they want to move them off to other projects and have them do other amazing things within Microsoft. But as it stands right now, I don't think anybody works full-time on Ian Ruby. It's moving very slowly. I looked at the mailing list recently in the most 10 recent emails were spam. Kind of gives you an idea of how it's going. I did email Thomas or Kamas from Microsoft to get some facts and figures on Ian Ruby. I guess he's too busy or not working on it right now. So it's sad. I really wish that Ian Ruby would continue. It's something where, you know, if you feel like you can pick up a CLR-based project, C-Sharp-based project, it's not a bad code base. If there's enough interest, that's what they expect. That's what they hope, is that they release this out in open source. They don't have the funds or the wherewithal to continue funding it. But maybe someone like you can help pick it up and keep it going. Just dive in, fork it on GitHub, and start making changes, updating stuff. That's how I got into JRuby. Other questions? Hmm? Mira? Oh, so yeah, my other language, Mira. Maybe I should do a lightning talk on that. So Mira is basically my attempt to make a Ruby syntax for writing Java. It's not Ruby, but I use a lot of the things I like about Ruby to generate Java code, essentially. That's another way that I'm trying to approach the problem of having the feel of Ruby and the parts I love, but still fitting into a Java world, as if a normal JVM sort of language. As far as where it's going and stat-wise, it's still kind of experimental, still working on it. There are people with small production apps, especially small, like mobile applications. You can write an Android app and about 10K lines of code, or not even 10K lines of code. The actual distributable is only about 10K of binary. But one thing we do have coming up is in April, we're doing a hack fest with some of the Google folks. Mid-April, probably a full week that various people will be on IRC, just trying to get it up to date and bring it to a 1.0. And I'll try and do a lightning talk about it later. Anything else? Yeah, hi Charles, great talk. Thank you so much. You mentioned about Android development with JRuby. Do you mean Rubuto, or do you mean just writing code in JRuby and deploying it? Well, so, all right, so Android development with JRuby. There I think there is a talk that's going to be about mobile development. It may talk, may touch on JRuby, I'm not sure. Rubuto is basically just a set of APIs and an application generator for making it a little bit more Ruby-like. So you have a rake task to build your app and so on. There's no reason that you couldn't just do a standard Android application. Throw JRuby in it as a jar and start tossing Ruby code over to it. Rubuto doesn't do anything special. JRuby as a jar file works without any modification on Android. So it can just be used as a Java library too. Yeah. When we talk about performance issues with Ruby, it's a problem with most of the newer languages. That's why Facebook came up with HipHop. So do we have some projects going in similar directions for Ruby? I'm not familiar with HipHop that much. I can tell you what's going on as far as performance in Ruby. On the JBM side, we in JRuby 1.7 have been working on taking advantage of invokeDynamic. And invokeDynamic is basically a new operation, a new bytecode added to the JBM exclusively for non-Java languages to use, like JRuby. We work with the JBM guys early on to make sure it performs well, make sure it did what we needed. And the performance of, for example, numerical algorithms running in JRuby on invokeDynamic versus JRuby on previous versions of the JBM can be as much as 3, 5, 10 times as fast now. So we're trying to find better ways to leverage the JBM. The Rubinius guys have their own JIT work that they're doing. They're going to be doing more type analysis over time, more profiling at runtime, similar techniques to what the JBM does, but focused on Ruby. And then even in the MRI world, there are research projects to do full system analysis while an application runs, generate C code that represents that exact application profile and then compile that down to optimize code rather than running the Ruby. And that's actually the first thing that's been able to beat JRuby's numeric benchmark numbers is that new work on Ruby 1.9, which I don't know if it's going to go live, it's a student research project, but there is a lot of work going on across the implementations to try and get Ruby to run as fast as possible. There are cases now with invokeDynamic where JRuby can do things as fast as Java, like walking data structures, essentially the same performance as you get when you do it in Java. Numbers are harder, but we're getting there. All right, right behind you. I enjoyed the statistics you shared about big data and the multi-processing bit. With Ruby, parallelism and concurrency are not first class concepts, where there are some other languages which do treat this and that portion of the process. Do you think Ruby will have to adapt as a language to support these concepts, or is that where Polyglot will kick in and our concurrency stuff will have to deal with it? Well, as far as actually adding concurrency at a language level, I'm still kind of dubious. There are languages that do that and they force you to do everything the right way as far as concurrency goes, but then you get simple cases where you're trying to do straight-line performance that isn't concurrent and you're suffering all the same overhead as you would for a concurrent case. Clojure's a good example of this. Early on, there was no way to actually mutate data structures in place. So even if you were just doing a straight-line algorithm, you paid the cost to turn through data structure, nuggets, and nodes every single time. Later on, they added a way that within a local scope, within a lexical context, you could do mutation in place because they recognized that you'd need to be able to do that. So mixed immutable, mutable environments, mixed concurrent and single-thread environments are the way things are. What I think we need in Ruby is more attention to building libraries in ways that are thread-safe, rather than using a lot of shared objects in shared state and constants and globals, making sure that you create an instance of that library and that's your instance for the threat and then that's thread-safe. This is like Charlie's four rules of concurrency that I tell people about all the time. Number one, don't do it if you're going to avoid it. That's the simplest way. Number two, if you have to do concurrency, just don't share data and that's easy. You pass around data that no one is else is using. Each thread has its own view of the world and you just work that way. Three, if you do have to pass around data, at least don't let it be mutable data. Pass around immutable copies, clone objects, clone arrays and things when you pass them to other threads, or put only frozen immutable versions of arrays and ashes in public domain, in global space. And then the nuclear option, if you do have to go to the point where you're passing mutable data around, then you do need to do the mutexing. But you should try all these other things before you even get to that point. And that's all API level. There's nothing in the language that prevents you from being a good threading programmer. These are things that you just need to learn how to do, follow the standard way. That's the biggest problem in Ruby right now is that people haven't written concurrent programs. So they're not used to doing. And it's just a matter of education. Last question. Hi Charles, welcome to India. And thanks for the great statistics. Actually, it helped a lot. My question is, what do you think are the still issues that we have with Ruby for adapting into an enterprise application? Going back to the bad press that we had for Ruby, like memory leaks and, okay, things were coming back like we had GL, we had green fibers, green threads and all that. But we still had a great, a lot of bad press about Ruby that it cannot scale. A lot of people wrote about that. So now with 1.9.3p, 125 release, are we out of that mountain? Have we crossed that mountain? Or are we still having some issues with Ruby for which to be adapted into the enterprise applications? And we are, again, having so many implementations. There is JRuby, there are so many different kind of Ruby's available. We had Rails, we had Moab, both merged. Can we merge the best of the two Ruby's and bring one Ruby and everybody is not confused about using thousands of Ruby's for various, various projects and have one and simplify the life? Well, so, okay, so there's a few things here. I'll try and go through these quick. So first of all, it's still kind of an open question whether the Merb and Rails merge was actually the greatest idea. So I won't touch on that too much. As far as getting Ruby into the enterprise, I think the biggest problem with getting Ruby into the enterprise in the past is that it was, it's still its own little world, its own new domain. Enterprises that aren't running a technology won't run a technology. And it takes a decade or more to convince them to do that. That's why I spent so much time on JRuby. I felt like JRuby, and then again, it's one of the reasons I'm sad about Iron Ruby, I thought these were the most likely ways we were gonna get into these large organizations because JRuby can just be another Java library and just run on regular Java servers. At the same time in JRuby we had concurrency, we had real parallel threads, and we had to drag people kicking and screaming into the concurrent parallel processing world. We worked with the Rails guys to make sure that was thread safe. There's not a week that goes by that I don't find a library that needs work and I sit down and I tell them why and I slam their head into the code and say you cannot do this, this is not safe. It's just a constant education process to get them to that point, but we are getting there. I don't want you to think that I don't like MRI either. Ruby 192 and 193 are massive improvements over Ruby 1.8. So much so that the Fusion guys are not even going to try and carry Ruby Enterprise Edition forward to 192 and 193. They don't need to. It solved a lot of the GC problems. Ruby 2.0 is supposed to even have copy on write logic built into it. So all of the features, the Ruby core team is learning from what JRuby and Rubinius and everyone else does. At this point technically I don't think there are really a lot of limitations as far as getting Ruby into Enterprise. I think the problem is that they're now looking at, oh, how can we get node into the Enterprise and how can we look at doing more closure or more Scala. So the hype train that we had a few years ago has kind of passed. That's why now we need to go out and do the work and show enterprises that they can build large apps, they can make them scale, especially if they're running with something like JRuby and running in thread safe mode, get out there and actually put it in their face how much they could save man hours, CPU hours by putting this stuff out there and technically we can do it. We can make those apps work now. And that's all the time I have. So have fun, I'll see you the rest of the weekend.

Good morning guys. Happy Sunday. I just wanted to take you guys through a Sunday kind of vlog what I do I'm about to go on a long walk fit Hi, boy. I just fed the pups That's me boy. Cocoa isn't really allowed to be around other dogs a ton or playing a long walk So it's just me it fits today. So today. I think I'm just gonna clean up around the house I have to get my nails taken off really bad because they're trash part of me Just like doesn't feel like I need to bring Just like your typical Sunday things I need to let roll the top, but here we are just a mom I'm gonna listen to a podcast and go on hopefully like a 45 minutes like hour-long walk This is like such a good way to start off your day Guys just look at how beautiful my latest things are I showed you guys this in the last vlog My perfect match boys lie set, which is the cutest thing ever I cannot wait to wear this. I got the one. I believe I got the medium set, right? I know Sometimes they're one size and sometimes they have actual sizes But I get the medium size if that helps at all and it just like they're seriously at the cutest That's there's nothing like it. This is my hat like how I had that I got yesterday at boot barn And then also I got this this morning, which I haven't shown you yet Even though I've shared it in so many videos my ordinary squalene. This is the best serum ever. It's so hydrating It is like my holy grail. I Absolutely love it and it's $7. So I will have that link down below So you guys can check it out because it's just so freakin good. All right guys, so I am back I need to actually get ready for the day. It's like 10 30 I went on a really long walk and then I did a diva and stuff and it's been a good morning I need to figure out what I'm wearing and then I'm actually gonna film my makeup and hair like kind of everyday curl routine For Instagram because I have a meaning to do that and I really like my new makeup routine Like I absolutely love it and my everyday curls with the easiest thing ever and I'm obsessed with the tool Maybe I can share a little bit of it. So I need to figure out what I'm wearing I have to go get my nails taken off and then drop off My friend's birthday present, which I'm excited for then come back. I think I'm gonna film today I'm actually in the mood to film and normally on a Sunday. I like take the day off and chill But Dom is gonna be here this week. So we're gonna be at like my lake house and I mean obviously like not really anywhere besides my houses, but I feel okay working today just because like Dom I'll be here this week. So anyways. Oh, yeah, by the way, my set is set active so cute Love it's my only set from them and I want more, but I just haven't picked them up I don't know why you know, I wish I had my lines to wear it today, but um fist decided to tear them Well, I have leggings here. I need to put laundry away today. I think I always just put laundry away guys It's like half of my vlogs. So I'm literally wearing just a tank top and leggings But I put this sweater on to make me look like I'm trying a little bit harder. I did my makeup routine It's gonna be up on IGTV. You guys already know all the products I've been loving because I've talked about them so much lately but Let me pick one The hourglass dim light powder. I've talked about this in my favorites video recently I love this product for years and I haven't had it in a while and picked it up again And it just like changes your skin like I don't know if you guys can even tell on camera maybe I'll do without writing but Like my skin it just glows and it just looks so much healthier and it's from that powder It is next level so I have to go to my other bathroom to do my hair Because the plugs in this bathroom guys since I moved in I still not figured I've not no I figured it out But I haven't fixed it. I don't like how this light is so yellow at all Basically, you have to have a certain kind of outlet in bathrooms It is beyond me how I bought this house in this got-through and past the inspection But they're not the right outlets for a bathroom because they turn off when there's like water near So I still just haven't gotten that done because I'm kind of waiting for my electrician to come over when I have like All new lighting and stuff like I don't want to make out any trips So kind of waiting for that but until then I'm in my other bathroom doing my hair Honestly, like I need to wear something that isn't black in this video because my hair is like a little bit darker I mean, I'm so lazy like I put it on top and you came and hopefully I mean you're not going to be able to see this thing underneath So I'm gonna have to turn the camera off and quickly Fix this you can tell it's like a filming day because I'm wearing pants I don't watch anything and I just keep changing my top, but anyways, we're gonna go to the other bathroom and Do my hair for a little Instagram reel So I'll show you guys how I've been doing that my Instagram reel It's like my favorite my hair has ever looked probably just as far as styling goes I can't live I'm actually getting ready on a Sunday. This is kind of crazy. Um, and it's super easy I'll link the hair product down below. It is a fabulous babyless. Whatever. I don't know One of one quarter inch my sister like told me to get this and I was like, yep This is the best thing that ever happened to me. So that's what we're doing. All right guys I just did my hair it like legit takes me six minutes to do this It is so easy. So the Instagram real will be up soon, but it's currently 1125 I think I'm gonna go do some dishes downstairs I'm gonna change back into what I'm gonna wear and then I oh, you know what? I'm gonna stop at Starbucks before I get my nails done. I have a gift card So I'm like, how'd you go? Well, it is currently like 12 30 and I'm eating for the first time today, which I'm such a breakfast person So it actually like it's just so not me is I got the pumpkin sweet cream cold brew I actually got just the pumpkin cold brew the other day and you have to get the sweet cream I get so I've been getting some DMs for you guys saying you weren't that impressed with the drink And I really just think that it's probably because you forgot to order the sweet cream, which is an easy mistake We've all done it. Um, anyways, I also got breakfast and I am on my way to the nail salon It was like a 30-minute drive here going to a very COVID safe salon So I'm excited for that. I've only gotten them done once since COVID. So Yeah, I also have been listening to Miley Cyrus on Joe Rogan and it's so good Also, the weather is not been as bad in Texas recently like the highs are 80s and I'm just thriving I want this to feel like a fall day So like I'm listening to albums are remind me of fall and I I want you guys to share yours because I have mine Okay, Miley Cyrus it makes it feel like fall because it reminds me of a very There's this one specific fall that I had that was the best fall of my life in high school So random and I was just like the best time ever and Taylor Swift reminds me of fall. Miley Cyrus reminds me of fall Um, obviously John Mayer things like that. Like I'm only playing fall music from here on out So I can really get in the vibe and get ready, you know And the two months from now my tree will be up. So like this is so exciting guys got my nails done We're gonna stop at Barnes and Noble because I want to get this like mental health buck The birthday girl to birthday month This is what I aspire for guys This is what the book club is gonna be. I want to read this. Shall I read it? It's on my tibie read This is a good book. I read that have you read where the crowd at sing? Good book Incredible so good also really good, but I already said that Here's the thing they're like Hello Picked up my new book guys. I got an actual physical copy so I could like write in it and stuff It just seemed like the type, you know, hello everyone. Okay. Um, I am on my way home I just stopped at Liz's to pick up a package for her since she's out of town Anyways, I just like feel really good today And even this morning I felt like slightly a little bit anxious, but I Just first off obviously I love right now. We've been friends for like 10 12 years like one of my closest friends in the world So that was great to spend time with her and I also just feel like So good just being me and kind of back to myself. I've been feeling, you know, I've shared my Little episode over the past month, but I just feel really good I want to get back into like eating really healthy too and just like doing things and kind of Setting myself up for success as far as like dealing with any sort of mental illness or like whatever and just kind of being My best self like I normally feel like I'm doing but I want to learn even more And I'm just so curious and I want to learn more about like gut health and all these things that I really do Think everything is linked when I get home. I need to film a video I'm going to film a video actually about having divorced parents Because I've been getting so many messages from you guys lately about it kind of out of nowhere So I feel like it would essentially be helpful for those who have um, you know Divorced parents, which is about 50% of America So I'm gonna do that. I need to film for the living room as well actually And I'm really excited. We're gonna go through the book of James, which sounds fun So really excited for that. I'm excited to try or I'm excited to read my new book. I will definitely Share um everything that I learned from it or like a lot of things. I think just as I'm reading it I'm just really pumped for this. I don't know. I'm just like really feeling good I was playing some music just playing some music on the drive home and Feeling good, you know All right guys, so I just filmed I'm so hot. I was wearing a crew knock and I also Just brought up My huge laundry basket, which is so much everything you would think Up to the top floor of my townhouse So I'm also so hot because I couldn't have the fan on when I was filming so anyways I'm putting on my laundry in a second and then I'm going to shower Self tan and do all that stuff And then I'm going to edit tonight and read my new book, which I'm so excited for oh my gosh I'm literally out of breath. This is embarrassing. It like doesn't matter how in shape. I am those stairs Always kill me with that basket Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but this just hasn't happened to me before Like what is this? I know it has something probably to do with my detergent and my washer Like this is not water to see you know this like a stain on the shirt But I came literally I got my clothes out of the washer And this is on a bunch of t-shirts and that is really freaking annoying because they're all like ruined I think so Tell me what that is. Please explain it to me. I know one of you guys has to know Just so annoying. Anyways, I ordered a smoothie from doordash the whole link is down below um $10 credit And I'm going to go downstairs Feed the dogs and take them on walks and stuff and then start editing or think I might I don't know what I'm gonna do for dinner yet All right guys, I got a smoothie king smoothie and I've been editing for a while I just have youtube on my tv right now. I am currently Posting something to the patreon and that will go up this week. Actually, we're going through the look of james So if you guys didn't know of a patreon, we call it the living room. Um, it's basically it's like a faith-based Patreon very exciting. So I'm getting all that situated and then I edited My divorce parents video already and I edited an id tv video and the hair reel And yeah, I think that's it. I just been working on my computer and just doing all that stuff So trying to get this all situated for the week and I've been planning out some more podcast episodes for the living room And I'm just getting really excited. So that's basically what I've been working on All right, so I'm trying to I've been having a really hard time with my file size on id tv Like every video I export says it's way too big So I'm trying to compress the file size I'm kind of dreading tomorrow because I have to like really organize my house and just put some things away Because they are going to be moving furniture and I want to like get the stuff off the counters I'll probably just put them in boxes or something so that They can't be broken and stuff. I figure out how I'm gonna do that. I'm sure I'll vlog the process of it But then Tuesday through Thursday, they will be installing my new hardwood, which isn't actually hardwood I got laminate I need new vloggers to watch because like I'm trying to watch videos and there's literally nothing in my subscription box And I'm like, okay. I need something else to watch So you guys let me know who I should be watching tell me who your favorite vlogger is So if you guys join the patreon Then you have access to all the videos and podcast episodes that we've already have up there and then new weekly content as well So it's really fun. I did a whole thing with val and with dom and like it's just been a good time So working on my um And I want to start reading my book soon. So that's what I'm gonna do guys, okay, this book I Literally cannot even describe to you like I have heard So many people talk about this book specifically my sorry son the jargon podcast, but I just I know that dr. Amon is like very well respected and whatever but it talks about your brain in relation to basically every aspect of your life, but it is So good and there's so many things that make sense to me now and even Like this specifically is the breakthrough program for concrete anxiety depression obsessiveness lack of focus anger and memory problems And basically he does these brain scans and blah blah blah and obviously they're not like super easily accessible to everyone Because they only have nine locations and I'm sure they're expensive But he has like an online assessment and I did the online assessment and obviously they're like this isn't as Accurate at all like it's best to get a scan, but in case you just you know, we're interested and I Looked I did the assessment and I looked at everything it said and I'm just like pretty in depth and I couldn't believe like how accurate it was And it's just helpful and then it tells you like I'm on page one 15 so far I want to have him on the podcast so bad So I'm on part two But so far it's like the 12 principles to change your brain in your life I'll have this link down below by the way, and then it's like looking into love and depression the limbic system and with With my assessment it said that I had a high limbic system, which the limbic system is Let me tell you what it is So the limbic system processes our sense of smell stores highly charged emotional memories and effects our sleep and appetite Cycles mood sexuality and bonding so problems in the limbic system are sadness clinical depression increased negative thinking negative perception of events flooded negative emotions such as hopelessness Helplessness and guilt appetite and sleep problems decreased or increased sexual responsiveness Social isolation and pain so when the limbic system is turned on our emotions tend to take over and there's just so many things too I'm like I have just been The way I've just tried to communicate with people recently is I'm like I just know that something is off like this is not normal Like there's something so off obviously this is like my first night reading this book So I don't feel like I'm very well spoken On the topic, but it is so interesting and then I was already talking today about how I really want to kind of Well, I guess essentially I was saying how I really want to eat for brain health without realizing it There's also like the brain warrior diet eat right to think right and all this stuff and I already got some I already got supplements from him as well So I um, we'll show you guys when I get those but I'm just so excited I really think I am so for medication if that's what you need and like I've been on meds like often on my entire life But recently I've tried three different ones and like I just cannot seem to get the right one right now And I actually think I'm just better off off of them right now because it's really just kind of turned me into like a Different person I share this because I share a lot of things, but I don't want Any of you to think like oh, I shouldn't take meds or I shouldn't do this or whatever like I am so for medicine I think it is incredible. I've had really great experiences with it in the past But just recently I just haven't really been having the best experiences and I kind of just want to give this a shot and try other things and like diet and um Supplements and things like that just for the time being and if I feel like I really need to go back on meds I will keep trying anyways with that being said. I am literally like so excited about this book guys I know it doesn't look that exciting, but I am very excited I'm not going to do this as a book club book because we normally do fiction books But I definitely would like love to have them on the podcast. That's like a dream But I want to finish the book before Obviously I do that and I'm already a fourth of the way through that's like 400 pages So I'll probably finish it this week, but I'm honestly the most excited for the food portion of this Maybe when I get really into this I'll do like a what I eat today for brain health. This is how far ahead I think like what am I even talking about? Okay. Well anyways, hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog I love you guys so much. Um, I'm going to read on my kindle and go to bed But I love you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog just hanging out on a sunday and I'm vlogging tomorrow. So I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye

So, good morning everybody, I'm really glad to see so many people here, and we have a special treat today. I get to introduce Dr. and Professor Clara Landau, who's a professor and chair at the University of Missouri. I was fortunate enough to get to be in her department for six months teaching residents and working in neuro-ophthalmology. And Professor Landau actually grew up in Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, moved to Switzerland, and went to undergraduate school and graduate school and medical school at the University of Zurich. Then she did internship and residency partly at Zurich, but partly also in Israel. And then came back to the University of Zurich, and in 2002 she became the first woman chair of a clinical department and has been the chair of ophthalmology since that time and has built a fantastic department of wonderful gifted clinicians. She's been the president of the Swiss Ophthalmology Society. She's the president-elect of the European Neuroophthalmology Society. She is also the vice chair of the Gender Equality Office, or Gender Initiative with the Gender Equality Office, and that was the program that I was a part of. And so I can't tell you how excited I am to have her here. We set up a lectureship in neuro-ophthalmology, and Clara is the first lecturer to present for our division. So Clara, we're thrilled to have you here, and she's going to be giving us a lecture on trochlear nerve palsy tricks and tips, the TTT lecture. So Clara, I'm going to turn it over to you. Well, thank you very much, Kathleen. This is really a wonderful occasion for me to see where you come from, and I'm overwhelmed just these past 10 minutes. I have seen this building, and we are now thinking of how to increase our department, and there is no space, and I love this feeling of big, big space you have here, and it's a wonderful, as I said, a wonderful experience for me. And that all is based on what you just heard that Kathleen was with us for half a year, and it was the most wonderful year and exciting year we had in our department with her, and you will see a few pictures of it. Now, Kathleen asked me that before I talk on the trochlear nerve palsy, people may be interested in a little bit of history or a few facts about our department in Zurich. So I've done a very short presentation here, and you may be familiar with a few of these names. Well, first of all, this is Zurich, so we do have mountains as well up here, not quite as high, but not every day can you see them from Zurich, but this is our town, and the University of Zurich is a little bit up the hill, so on nice days we have this view. Here is the Department of Ophthalmology, but not only ophthalmology, we have three floors here, but there is also the ENT department and maxillofacial surgery, but this is our, it's actually the newest building in this university hospital. Here is the first chair of Department of Ophthalmology, you may know his name, Friedrich Horner, and I find this kind of nice that a pupil expert came to our place where the most famous, well, let's say most famous publication of Friedrich Horner has to do with the pupil. Anyway, so he started, he was the first professor of ophthalmology, before that ophthalmology was part of general surgery, and it was actually Bilrod, whom you may have heard about as well as surgeon in the 19th century, who realized that this eye surgery is just a little bit too special to have it within general surgery, so he was the strong man at the faculty and he decided that Horner could be the first professor of ophthalmology. So he did that for quite a number of years, over 23 years, and built up the department. Now, the next one, well, that's just the official letter of appointment of Friedrich Horner, which as you know, Kathleen is hanging in our department on the wall, and he got 1,000 francs a year, so that was his salary. So things changed since then, luckily. Anyway, he was really very famous, he became very famous, and people started to be interested in this specialty. So the next, his next was Otto Harp, and you may be familiar with Harp's strier, in congenital glaucoma, so he's the one who described them. Besides that, he invented a huge magnet to take out metallic foreign bodies out of the eyes, so this was bigger than a person, a huge magnet, so people, all patients were brought to Zurich to have their metallic foreign bodies taken out of their eyes. The next was quite a short period of time, so he didn't really make a big impact. He passed away soon after he was appointed as Zidler. But then the next one was Alfred Fockt, another name you may be familiar with, Fockt-Quirnagiharada, for instance. That's the Fockt, it's not Fockt, it's Fockt. And he wrote a fantastic book of Slitlamp, an atlas actually, of Slitlamp biomicroscopy, which is really quite amazing. I mean, they didn't have photography, they had wonderful, you know, at least as much merit goes to the person who illustrated this book as to Professor Fockt. So I can't go into details here, but again, a famous name, Mark Amseller, who took over from Fockt. And may I just show you, you know, this was a tough guy. He wasn't very pleasant. There is a story that the residents had to open the, you know, in ground floor, they had to open the elevator door for him. Then he would go in and then they had to run up to third floor to be there in time to open the door again. So that's the story, I don't know whether it's true or not, but it's a good one. And Mark Amseller was just the total opposite, very nice and still, you know, very productive. And of course he invented the Amseller net, which until today is called after him for exploring metamorphopsia or visual field defect in the central field. Okay, Rudolf Wittmer was the next. He may not be that famous. He was a fantastic, he was interested mostly in uveitis and he was a very, very good corneal surgeon. So people came from all over the world to have his double suture corneal transplant done by him. Then came Balda Glor, who is still alive. So all the others passed away, but Balda Glor is now over 80 and he was a glaucoma specialist who also did some of his training in the US and whom I knew very well, of course, because I worked with him and for two years his, the next chair was Theo Zeiler who is a corneal and refractive surgeon and who after two years in a way had to leave because it didn't work out very well, not for him and not for the department definitely. So then I came, but this is our department today, you know, with some of the key people here but of course I can't tell you more than that. And as I said, all these people greet you. They had so much good time with you. Kathleen was fantastic in teaching. She had just a little bit more time than we did and she really took this upon her to teach the residents. She distributed the journal club. So we had a half a year of neuroctomology journals, you know, really one after the other and people are now really on top of it. And here she is teaching. This is actually the neurology. She did that also in neurology. This is the neurology department with these very old-fashioned, you know, but that reminded you of what Boston is a dome. Okay, it's not, but it's a little smaller probably. Okay, good. She participated in some of the teaching activities, you know, bigger events. Like of course with Michael Warner, her husband on neurology and of tomology complications in pregnancy. That was a big event. On April 24, we have some regular such events in the ophthalmology department. So she talked on photophobia. And then we had a very fun course which takes place every two years in a castle actually next to Zurich on the Zurich Lake. And that's the neuro-automology course with some guests from abroad. And Kathleen was one of them. And this is just the wrong, that's the one for two years before. So, you know, I put in the wrong one. But anyway, it looked very nicely and very similar next year. Thank you. Okay, so, so far for a short introduction about our department and about the time we had together. And now, what about trochanography? Well, this lecture is simple. It's not anything complicated. I just know that vertical strabismus is quite often a challenge when these patients come into your office, you're alone, you may not have too many people to rely on at the moment and you want to do the best out of it. So, let's go and take a trip on this. So, as you all know, the three-step test developed by Parks is a very neat way to start. So, now all you have to do is look at this scheme and kind of cover your left eye and look at it with your right eye, right eye in the center. And then you have to know your functional anatomy as far as this. You have to know that looking up and right is mostly the job of your superior rectus muscle. And here the inferior rectus muscle and the obliques are just the other way around. So, that's easy, right? But that you have to know. And then you have to give it a thought. The first step is which eye is the higher one? So, if you find a patient in whom, on alternate cover testing, you have a right over left, what is wrong with the right eye? Is it the elevators that are peretic or is it the depressors? Well, of course, it's the depressors. Otherwise, that's why the eye is higher than the other one, right? So, all you have to do, it's the depressors and you just make your line here, okay? Then you compare, is it worse on right gaze or on left gaze? Does this vertical deviation increase on right gaze or on left gaze? In this case, it increased on left gaze. So, all you have to do is put your mark, put your line on the left side. And the third step, as you know, is comparing the amplitude of this vertical deviation on right head tilt and left head tilt. And in this example, it was larger on right head tilt. And now you have your scheme and you have one box in which all three lines interact and that's the answer. So, the peretic muscle is the right superior bleak. And so far, so good. You can have another situation in which, you know, it's this way round. So, you have one box which is free. No line goes through it and that's the left superior bleak, okay? So, now we are set for doing this unless if you have a result which doesn't make much sense. Well, it does. It could be that the left inferior bleak is peretic. That's what your three-step test tells you. But that's not a muscle which is inner rated by only one cranial nerve. So, it may be the case. It may not be the case. And then it's your general judgment, of course, you know, and all the other aspects. It could be even just restriction. It could be anything. So, there is actually a nice article by Bert Kushner who cautions this and who says that there may be some errors in the three-step test in the diagnosis of vertical strabismus. And he starts this article by saying, the three-step test is wonderful for every and each patient who comes into your office and says, better, could you please tell me which one of my eight cyclovertical muscles is peretic? All these patients, you can treat with this and you get your answer. Okay. So, let's go into some. Yeah, and you have seen that some, this is actually very old and it's from my time when I was a resident and I just have it in my pocket and I kind of can do it quickly. And that's what I wanted to show you. There are other ways to do it, I know. But again, let's go to the anatomy. So, what are some special features of the trochanal nerve? As you all know, it's very long and very thin. As we said, it only has to supply one small, but important muscle, extraocular muscle. It's also the only cranial nerve that exits dorsally from the brainstem. All the others come out on the ventricle side. And it's also the only one that crosses and that it does so in the midbrain at the level of the inferior colic line. Both these very short fascicles, as I said, they cross at the bottom of the fourth ventricle and thus they actually the... the nucleus of the fourth nerve on the right side finally supplies the left supere oblique and vice versa. And this is all taken from... you probably also teach with... or do you use the Bahandas Klein and Bahandas book for teaching the residents? Yes. This is, of course, very schematic, but it's nicely put so you see where the nucleus is and how this long nerve has to cross dorsally to the other side, go around the whole brainstem and then here between the posterior cerebral artery and the superior cerebral artery goes between here to the clivus here and into the cavernous sinus and then finally through the superior orbital fissure into the orbit. So that's just another view to see how the nerve is. Of course, here you will rarely have an isolated fourth nerve palsy within the cavernous sinus. It could be the case, but it would be unusual. One more picture here of the potential lesion sites. It can be, of course, within the brainstem. It's much more rare, but it does exist. Trauma actually happens probably here mostly and then cavernous sinus and the orbit. So what are some special functional features of the trochanal nerve? Well, this is really a puzzling entity, the congenital palsy, people who, and we will talk more about that, who actually, in whom, is it the nerve or is it the muscle? That's a huge discussion and it's probably both and it's very heterogeneous, but another special feature is that being this such a thin and vulnerable nerve, even a minor trauma can cause a palsy. Then there is this entity of superior oblique biochemia which I'm not going into, but these patients who have been to so many ophthalmologists before and everybody thinks they are crazy, but actually they are not and if you look at them and if you can provoke the symptom, then you see that this eye, with your sleep-lamp examination, has a very, very quick rotatory nystagmus in this one eye and people really say there is something wrong with my eye and many times they don't get diagnosed, especially if it's intermittent, of course, and it's benign. And then trochlear nerve schwannomas, well, that's a rare entity, but it's so rare actually that a big, big group of neuro-ophthalmologists had to pull together a few cases that was published a couple of years ago. Okay, and it's, of course, benign, but not really treatable other than by performing some extraocular muscle surgery. Okay, so let's go to congenital trochanal nerve palsy. You know, when I actually did my fellowship in San Francisco and, you know, in Israel, my teacher was Moshe Oliver, who was a pupil of Marshall Parks, so I came to Switzerland with the American view on many things, especially strabismus, and I was struck how different strabismus is being looked at in Europe. I don't know, some of you may know the name of Josef Lange, who was a very famous strabologist in Europe, and he had a big fight with Parks. You know, so Parks talked about the monofixation syndrome, and Lange talked about microstrabismus and whatever, it was the same entity, but they called it differently. Anyway, they were both great giants of strabismus, but somehow Europe and America didn't get along too well, so there is another name to it in German or Latin, strabismus surso adductorius, which means that the eye goes up on adduction, the eye goes up. Okay, so it's very, very frequent, and you know this saying, fat scan instead of cat scan family album tomography is much cheaper than computer-assisted tomography, no side effects. It's a great way to diagnose this, and so if you have somebody, you know, since first grade, always looking into the camera in group photos, that's the best group photos. They always look like this, then they have, what, right, so their vertical fusional ability is just amazing. I mean, they come to you with a little head tilt, and then you start your checking, and then the eyes go like this. They confuse 30, even 40 prison doctors of vertical deviation. Now, you try that, that's really tough. You can't do it. So that's a very good sign of something very, very old, and thus not very dangerous. Motility, what I mean here is the overaction of the antagonist of the inferior bleak is so pronounced in these cases that, you know, when they look to the side of the palsy, when I have a right trochanter of palsy, I look to the left, my right eye goes up, and it's even, you know, the deviation is even larger when I look left and up than when I look left and down. So the kind of the overaction of the inferior bleak is more pronounced than the underaction of the superior bleak. Here, just a few examples. So this girl had a congenital nerve palsy, and this young chap had actually acquired trochanter of palsy. Anyway, the nine directions of gaze in this acquired case are not very abnormal. I mean, this is the primary gaze, and, you know, you don't see much, and this is what happens in acquired palsy. You check the motility, and it's actually normal, and the patient still, bitter complaints of double vision. There is some overaction here of the inferior bleak. Okay. The third step of the third three-step test is also called, at least again in Switzerland, we don't speak that much of the three-step test. We have the Bielszowskie head tilt test, and Bielszowskie is another famous name you may know. Okay. So this girl, when being forced to have a left tilt, her left eye goes up a lot, so she avoids that, and this is a left congenital in her case. Congenital nerve, forced nerve palsy. This was a patient who really didn't want to get operated for a long time, but then, finally, he agreed. So this was before the surgery, and that's after surgery, just this left gaze, and his right eye now stays nicely in place. And this was his nine directions of gaze before surgery with this huge overaction of the inferior bleak on the right side, and now much better. So you can do that. You can have the patients suffer a little longer and give them sometimes prisms, which may help for a while. You know, when they drive, they just do this instead of looking to the side because otherwise they will definitely not find the right spot. But then that's my opinion. It's nice to really have them at a stage when they want you to operate because, of course, that's not only for strabismus. Then they will be much happier when things get better. And so this is, I don't know how much you use this type of HES screen. You don't? Okay. Well, HES, Brutalf HES, was actually a Nobel Prize winner who was an ophthalmologist at some time and then switched to physiology It's a true story. When he had enough money after having been an ophthalmologist for a few years, he went to do what he really loved to do, which is physiology, and he won the Nobel Prize. So this is the HES screen test with the left eye here, you know, instead of being... Well, you see that there is a right over left with an overaction of the inferior bleak. Then it became worse. That's the same patient. So now he decided, okay, let's do it. He was a lawyer, you know, so I wasn't too eager to operate on him either. Okay. And this is the way it was before the operation and after the operation, kind of a nice improvement, and he was quite happy. So how do you treat it? And this again is something I've seen, you know, there are books, and of course, they are wonderful, but after a while, for at least in strabismus surgery, you really develop your own ways based on mistakes, usually. Try and error. So what I really could say after all these years, I almost never performed more than a weakening of the inferior bleak in these cases, not a second muscle at the same time. So you could do it in extreme cases, but in the literature it says, you know, from 15 or 20 prism diopters on, you should do two muscles. Don't, okay? If you take my advice, because these patients, even though they confuse 30 or 40 prism diopters before the operation of, let's say, right over left, they can't do even two or three prism diopters left over right. That's just not what their brain is being trained for. So they will not be happy. And so what we do is an anterior position of the inferior bleak, which corresponds to the 10-millimeter recess described by Parks, and it's quite an easy operation. So we just put together our cases of 45 patients in the, you know, this is the H, and they have been operated between 2000 and 2010. And we see all patients, of course, before surgery, and then we have them back three months after surgery and a year, which is very helpful to, you know, to make your own quality control and studies. So this would be the result of this group of patients. It's always the status before surgery, then three months after, and one year after, and that's, you know, the vertical deviation here, just the vertical deviation. So of course, hopefully it went down. And in every position of gaze, we did this, and it's interesting, actually something I did not expect necessarily, that it even further improves, you know, between three months and one year, which is good, because eventually, actually, these patients may come back after a few years more. We just had this one-year follow-up. Okay, so of course the vertical, that was what you saw was the vertical deviation before three months and after one year, that goes down, but also the horizontal, which is usually not very large, diminishes and the torsional as well. So this is in the clinician, that's Bledtov for Augen Heil Kunde. I'm sure that everybody reads this journal. Well, you're laughing now, but you know, this was actually founded by Albrecht von Greife. This is a very old journal, and you can publish in English in there, and it's connected to the Swiss Ophthalmological Society, so that's why we have to publish there. Okay, so this antroposition of the inferior bleak muscle is a really interesting surgery because what we found out and what I kind of felt, but here it was evident in the study, the larger the deviation, the bigger the effect of surgery. Well, isn't that wonderful? I mean, where have you, you know, this no other muscle will do this for you. You know, this is just fantastic. Whatever it takes, it will be done. You know, it's just fantastic. The inferior bleak, as you see. Okay. Any questions so far? Any comments? Well, on time? Okay. So let's go to the acquired trochanal nerve palsy and a few rules. This is again from Bajangas and Klein. This 10-2030-40 rule, 10% etiology is compression, so not much, but it's possible, of course. 20% ischemia. You know, the microvascular ischemic nerve palsy can hit any cranial nerve. Some, you know, they had to have some 30 here, so that's diverse or unknown, and lots of trauma, and that's actually the message. So many, many have a trauma background, and that's, of course, usually easy to find out. So, of course, as always, what you have to do is make a very good neurological exam and find out whether this is truly isolated or not, and if it's not, then, of course, the other sides will lead you to make the correct diagnosis. And as I said before, motility can really appear to be almost normal, so the usual scenario is of a patient, you know, having had a concussion and then waking up in the emergency room with a surgeon and then complaining of double vision, and after all, they do the motility exam, but it's normal, so they say, oh, come on, you know, that's nothing. And at some point, they get to us, and usually they come like this, right, because they usually have a bilateral trochlear nerve palsy, and you need your superior bleaks leased when you look up, so they come like this, and everything like this, and everything is crossed, and it's just terrible. But on motility exam, it looks normal, and even on cover testing, it may look quite normal, because the main problem is the torsion, and that you, of course, can't find out with cover testing. So this would be an example. This was put together, you know, using the harm's tangent screen. Kathleen, you have seen it. It's huge. It's, you know, a huge thing on our wall in the Strobismus department, and people have a headset on their head, and it's being done by an autoptist. Do you have a autoptist here? I hope so. We have a school of autoptics, and that's really fantastic. That's such a big help. So they do these exams usually, and it's, of course, you have to dissociate between the two eyes, and the patient has to show where both eyes have, you know, where the image of each eye is located, and there is also a line where they can adjust the torsion. So it's not just the point which you have in the head screen test, but in this harm's tangent screen, you can also get a subjective measurement of all three directions, vertical, horizontal, and torsional deviation. So this, as you see, the largest vertical deviation is on down gaze, and the largest x-cycle torsion is on down gaze. And you can also do the same in an objective manner. So you put a surge coil on the patient's eye, and we have that set up as well. This is a magnetic field in which the patient, again, looks in all nine positions of gaze, and you get from the same patient similar, well, not similar, actually, somewhat different, more pronounced deviations. That's probably because the patient was already fusing some of it, but here there is no fusion involved here. It also gives you the x-cycle torsion, but not in the absolute value. It's just relative to the primary. The primary is defined as zero, and then there is an in-cycle torsion in up gaze and an x-cycle torsion in down gaze. So this is a nice way, but it's not very practical. It's very cumbersome, and you can put it in a nicer picture. And we actually compared this. This is quite a couple of years ago, 2006, we did this study to compare the subjective and the objective way of measuring all three deviations in trochlear nerve palsy, and now we are now, of course, the next step is videography. That's the best, and we are working on some special goggles with Cony Weber, you know, that there is a research project going on to make it a little bit easier than this huge magnetic field and search coil, which, for instance, you can't do in children, and it's quite cumbersome. Anyway, so again, so what do you do when you have a patient with a forced nerve palsy, which is acquired usually post-traumatic? Well, first of all, be sure that it's not bilateral. It may be asymmetrical, but then you operate on one eye and the other palsy kind of comes out of the bush, and then you have another... I would still probably do the one side first, but tell the patient before that there may be a bilateral problem. If you see from the very beginning that there is a bilateral palsy, then of course you treat both in the same procedure in your same surgery. So how do you look for these sides of possibly bilateral palsy? Well, the x-cycle torsion will be really huge because that adds up, you know, each superior bleak muscle is palsy. That means that all of your in-cycle torsional capacity is gone, and that means that your x-cycle torsion will be very large. On the contrary, your vertical deviation may be zero because if the amount of the palsy is the same on the right side and on the left side, that kind of neutralizes itself. So you can really have a patient with no vertical deviation at all or very, very small. And you will have a very pronounced V pattern because your superior bleaks, as you know, are bleaks. The B in the obliques tells you that the inferior obliques and the superior obliques have a little bit of an AB-duction effect. Okay, so there will be a pronounced V pattern because of that, because you need your obliques more than superior obliques when you look down, which gives you an isotropial shift downwards. And of course, if you have even that, if you have a switch on right over left here and left over right here, then things are very clear. Good. So now, in these cases, it's not primarily the inferior bleak, the antagonist, it's the palsy muscle which you have to strengthen, which usually was a tuck. And then you may do it with or without the inferior bleak as well. And there are tables for that and patients are usually very happy. So here I am. My general remarks would be that all roads lead to Rome, as you know, and this is really something quite special about strabismus, I think. You develop your own methods and that's the ones that actually have a success. So why not? And the future dream would be to have a model and I think many people are working on this, many groups, where you just put in your pre-operative measurements and it comes up with a precise operative plan and it works. That's the other thing that should be nice to have, but on the other hand, then we strabologists will not be needed anymore, so maybe it's not that good. So I think I'm at the end of my talk. This is a very nice detail of a picture which is in the art gallery in Zurich. It's by Amadeo Modigliani. It's actually his almost wife. He almost married her, but then he got to her closest and he died and she actually was pregnant, eight months pregnant and jumped out of the window a day after he died. So, you know, a very tragic story. I don't know whether she did have a person of policy or not, but it's a beautiful picture and it's just to tell you that there's lots to see in Zurich and please come and visit. Well, if there is a clear history of trauma, that would be enough. You know, if you can document this force nerve policy with your whatever you use, the tangent screen, the S screen, then you have a set of data and then you wait I usually wait a year before operating because really it's amazing how well they can actually improve within a year. It's usually more in the first half of the year than in the second half here. But if you think whether to do more exams like an MRI or anything, if it's very clear I probably wouldn't. But you know, then again the medical ecosystem is different here, but there is lots of discussion of incident alomas, you know, do you want to do an MRI and find something you don't want to know about which is not related to what you're looking for and these things. So, I think if the situation and if the double vision was there from the beginning, if it's half a year after the trauma but it's newly symptomatic, then of course it may not be related at all. Is that a good answer? Thank you. That and thyroid it's always thyroid, you know, not always, but that's really so common and then much less. Anything else is really that's true. And they somehow always usually, you know, it's sometimes tough for the patient to find the person who gives them the clear answer and I've just seen a patient who came all the way from Slovenia and who had lots of MRIs and still vertical and just looking at the MRIs which he already had showed a thick inferior rectus muscle in that one orbit. I mean it fitted so well but, you know, when the neuroradiologist tells you normal scan, then and if you don't look at it yourself I mean, you know this. Yeah. Look at the scans yourself or talk to the neuroradiologist. You always said the neurolofimologist is reinterpreted of normal MRI scans. And they are either normal because the disease doesn't show that's like myostinia or something like that or they are normal because neuroradiologists just missed it or they are normal because they are not imaging the right place. That's the three reasons. And if you do get a chance to go into a really disappointed by the city it's lovely and the university is a very old and famous to think that this... Well, if you want to hear more, you know there is foked, as I said was not the nicest guy on Earth. I didn't meet him, of course but he had a big fight with Hans Goldman. Does that ring a bell? Hans Goldman? Good. So Hans Goldman was a chair before he was chair. He was in Bern. So he is the famous guy in Bern and they had a fight over what causes the cataract of people who work with glass. What's the name? Yes, yes. Is it the heat or is it something else? And of course Goldman was right. But folk didn't never forgive me for being right. Anyway, so, you know, what else? In Geneva there was a famous chair by the name of Francescetti. Does that ring a bell? Genetics? And maybe the name you must know is Lausanne. We have five universities in Zurich. Zurich... Sorry, Switzerland. Zurich, Bern, Basel, Lausanne and Geneva. One had, the I department is called Gona, Jules Gona hospital because Gona was the one who was a retinal surgeon and who actually first discovered that you should that the hole in the retina is not the consequence of the detachment but the cause of the detachment. So you have to close the hole and then the retina will so that's quite an amazing discovery. And he had to fight a lot before this was accepted. I would like to thank Clara from coming from Switzerland to give us this lecture and we're going to be heading over to neurology now to talk about perimeter so to hear about perimeter it's going to be the PPP lecture. Thank you very much for having me. Thank you. Thank you.

To be honest, there's no bad blood that's one issue akuna kituvera behind. Asa I remember the last interview to the Fana Calondo Samoia, to the Kwa Pa Modya. As I told you, mkata ba uli isha, na jyotu na fana kazi anda Samoan. So mi mi saidi nimi pata oto e ngini, ole oto e mependa intrastiawe kukwangu. So wa kani chikuwa, but so far so good. Niki fani kiawa niki fani kiawa kama kaka na fani kiawa pa Modya. Badu ni kakaangu, badu ni dugu yamura npenda sana, we started this together since they went back in Diani Beach ukunda Kuala Count, wana chitazama, sa izoto hongwa Diani Beach, Kenya na npenda sana. So right now, na kudia kwa kazi aka humpi mbumi yatia, liquidy. Mbuna liquidy mze. Bana ona sema, mi mi nimi kwa kimiya, ni kwa kimiya for the last two years, lakini nika handa kufana 10 manta go nika handa kuru di nimi faniya homa nika faniya party featuring Vdj Jones nika kudia nika enda chinia magiki dogo, sana mi meronitena. So we have a brand new project named Liquid. Liquid there was produced by David Producer all the way from Kigali. This guy is Rwandiz Kenyan and then the video was directed by David Fernandez, the guy from Mexico, Mexico. But he was a bit international. Bit international, bro, kudia alibu. Yung management yung omia kudia omia toka chinia katafungza kwanba. Tuki angale sa mother artist like our fellow Tanzanian Saddhav Kenyajiren. Nam. When it comes to music, is it a business? Nam. You need to invest. You need to dedicate your time to invest money. You need to look good. So the people, like this is the future record label nafana waka sayi. Wakani weka chinia waka ni faniya hiya hiya hote. Tablo tuwambia kabi sa kusu nikaidi. Ona kitu mi kilani sumbua. Uliwo beba na tiza major na mai nam, studio no kumbukia kwenya goma gani.

Onea sema kwa mba onea pukuwa na misi na namzuri. na kulake na chutaka, alafu piya na tengineza na iwa atotu azuri. Viya, viya, ki diya kunye hii liquid dingine. So iwa na hii lipa piya liquid is liquid. Achaza meja na maina, injinanda ni mi na satisfy. Injinanda ni. Ki diya sorya pesa na satisfy, na izo stories dingine pi na satisfy. Aa, nice. Me hii liya mwa bwana. Ki oto kwa hii do. Aofi pi, so liquid ulguna tuwerezea kumba, mkakachini, mkangalia kumba, this time mi na takam fanyi standard kubo na niviki kama vii liya. Kwa zi yon kumimi kukoste la gape mze? Aa, sti yon kama maneja mwata ni rusu ni taja figa, lakini na mwona pali na mwona pali na niviki a sign. Aa, but video tu mi explain kwa kue li kukoste waku. A imagine flying with a director from Mexico to Nairobi, and then Nairobi to Mombasa because the video was shot here in Kenya. Aa, Mombasa and Tuapa. Aa, I had like two very famous group, like the rags, most very famous dancers, female dancers, and then universal dancers Kenya. So the rags were on Melipokodola, universal dancers Kenya Melipokodola, and the entire team, the others, in the background kila kitu. Ni pesa mingi waku el. Nadia waswa iruanzangu di kwa taji a figa, oneza kasi mam, oh yon nae, but nafa kudiyo mi kuste a lot of money, atauki yona video ni yon waku wa. Semi na nua bmw unga. Gotya ni kusha. Aa, bmw mojya tu lakini na bmw series 7. Yes, mojya teki aki. S-class here. Ya yoni S-class kapsa. So video imeshtiwa pa pa Kenya, mubasam 2a pa pala 001 count, mangiranzangu ala. Yes. Na pia tuma invest sana, video kandaki premier na short while, uta ono kwanzea dancers wena mewa, mi monewena wa camera angles, kiyangere kala ni ni kila kitu una yon na tu, yo pesa mbwot na ise maiko pala. Aa, nice. So it was the very first time to kandaki premier, liquid, itiwa Y-254, wa iimashariki. Yes. Mbawa Kenya uto na utozama sayi. Yes. Wa blaze, kusaba bu Kenya, we are the king makers. Osa ni wontu wa kubu Afrika ono pitahapa, ono blow. Kabiisa. Ono tusi blow sisi onyo kwa yon. Ya, ya, ya. So it's a high time for Kenyan fans ma shabik nuguzetu. Ya. To support big time, big time to shkem kono kabisa because Kenya do indas yam ziku Afrika. Kabisa. Avib, yes. Kabisa ni bandana mi kasam zemba yanasungo na liquidi. Ya, ya. Cheska liquidi za kwa zi metadyu apu. Animatoria zotia pa. Ya, ya, liquidi za Cheska. Ha ha ha ha ha. And then kuna liquidia magizani. Kuna liquidia wa todopia, Polafuna liquidia muna wele.

नमश्कार न्वोज क्लिक के कारिक्रम रहाँ थे की बात मैं आप का सवबवादत है आज हम बात करेंगे इस स्टरकार के बारे में इस शासन के बारेंगी की कैसे ये सिर्प जुम्ले की अईसी सर्कार है तरा तराके जुम्ले देकर लोगों को जाल में पसाती रही हैं, अब ये जाल स्वैम उसके उपर पड़गया है. जाल में पस्ती नजर आगये और ये सरकार. एक बड़ा जुमलाइ सरकार का ता की वो भ्हारत को ब्रिस्टाचार मुक्त कर देगी. सवालिय है की एक बात हो तो कोई कहे. नंगा कर दिया है अभी हिंदु अख्वार का एक बड़ा लेक एक आँसा लेक जो शोद परख है जो तत्चो परादारीत है. इस बारे में रफाल के बारे में ना जाने कितनी स्टोरी जब तक आचुकी है. तमाम मैंगजिन्स में, तमाम वेप साइट पर, निूस क्लिक पर, तमाम जगो पर. लिकिन आज जो इस्टोरी आई है उस्ट्टिए सभी शबही शटोरी को नोग के बलिस्टेःब लिस्टेए है पलकी पुष नै पहलो भी उजागर की हैं. उस्ट्टाचार निज्टेः को बताएने को तगयार है, नज्चनता से शेज़

Welcome to the sports playbook where we discuss solutions to issues that impact sports. I'm your host, Angela Hazelett. Today's guest is Guy DeBron, a guide for Blue Ridge Mountain Guides. Today we are going to discuss rock climbing safety, conquering the heights. Guy, thank you for joining us today on the sports playbook. Thanks, Angela, happy to be here. I want to hear all about your rock climbing experience. So start us back when you first got involved with the sport and what led you to where you are today. Yeah, so my father worked at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and they offered a rock climbing class through their physical education department. And I was home for a summer and I took the class as a summer couple credit course as an introduction. And so I was introduced starting with some indoor climbing and learning the ins and outs of how to tie the knots and et cetera. And then we went out on several different outdoor climbs as part of that course culminating in an opportunity to climb at Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. So my introduction was a credit course through a summer class. And then I got really interested from there and started traveling to climb throughout the Northeast. And how old were you when you first started? So I must have been around 20, I guess this was before the summer before my senior year of college. And and so I haven't looked back from that lots of recreational climbing throughout the Northeast and various other countries, but also an opportunity to do some training with the American Mountain Guides Association. So some formal training in addition to sort of the more traditional informal mentorship with with another more experienced climber. Tell me a little bit about the training that you've gone through to become credentialed to lead and guide others in rock climbing. Yeah, so the guiding industry in the United States is interesting. It's not as regulated or as sort of ingrained in the culture as it is in Europe. France, for example, but we it is emerging in the United States. And so I started with taking a course in Joshua Tree National Park a couple hours from Los Angeles over a spring break called at the time called the top rope site manager course. So that was designed for institutional type guiding like what I was doing in my career at the time. I did 18 years of managing campus recreation outdoor programs. And so that included overseeing climbing walls as well as training students to lead their peers on rock climbing trips. And so when we talk about top roping, we're talking about a situation where the, the belayer is on the ground and the anchor has been set up at the top of the cliff and the run rope runs back down to the ground. And so everybody's at the same place as far as starting on the ground climbing up and then lowering. So that course was designed to teach all the inside, all the ins and outs of building anchors. And when I say anchors, that's securing the rope to the rock and all the techniques around around top rope climbing that course is now known as the single pitch instructor course because now it includes starting from the ground and leading up. And building an anchor at the top and bringing someone up to you, perhaps. And then I went on and did the rock instructor course, which was. I want to say that was at least the 8 or 12 day course and that was designed for more, what we call multi pitch terrain. So in other words. Now we're climbing higher than 1 rope length above the ground and so it's a lot more technical. So those are the 2 courses that I took. Would you say that the top rope or the single pitch is kind of the typical pathway that a lot of people kind of start with rock climbing? Or is there another entry way that's more common? You know, now climbing gyms have become, you know, sort of the way to get introduced to the sport and it's good and bad. People get strong. And, you know, and they can learn some good things, but it's also such a different. So it's a very different experience from climbing outdoors and some of the hazards and. And things we think about from a risk management perspective when we're climbing outdoors are just not there indoors. For example, you know, loose rock, right? It's extremely rare for a climbing hold to break or come off. And so. There has, I think there has been challenges associated with so many people coming into the sport in a very controlled indoor environment. And making it more difficult for them to transition outdoors where, you know. I'm going to guess now it must be. 40 years ago that, you know, before the climbing gyms really got going, everyone went through a mentorship with a more experienced partner in the outdoors. And so there's just a little bit of a difficulty in transition. And then the second thing I would say to your question is most people probably get into, yeah, top rope climbing, but even more common is what is known as sport climbing. And that's where you see bolts either on the indoor climbing wall or out on the rock that are drilled into the rock. And so as you progress, you clip what's known as a quick draw, which is 2 carabiners to that bolt and then clip your rope through that. Until you progress to the top, it's usually single pitch. So, in other words, you come up to the top, clip anchors, and then you're able to lower down with a rope. Most ropes are around 60 meters, which is 200 feet, right? So we're talking about 100 foot max climbs. And that's the sort of gateway is climbing in gyms or climbing. And that's where people start generally. But that is really interesting. And I believe sport climbing is sport climbing is actually now an Olympic sport. So it's going to expose even more people or make more people, give more people a pathway to participate in that particular sport. And so the sport climbing, someone would have to go through and kind of make those bolts, they'd have to install those bolts in advance for someone to participate. Is that correct? That's correct. The 1st ascensionist, and it's a lot of work, establishes the route by drilling holes to insert the bolts. And so, yeah, and it emerged out of Europe in the 80s. It was very controversial in the United States. Because of a damaging the environment, is that what you're concerned? It does, but the thing is that sport climbs are established in rock that cannot be climbed in any other way. So in other words, there's not enough cracks to take natural climbing equipment, which we call traditional climbing or trad climbing, which is a cleaner form of climbing. But the type of rock that sport climbs are established on cannot be protected naturally. And so there was a lot of controversy that the ethic in the United States out of Yosemite was the traditional climbing ethic where you started at the ground and you protected by putting different equipment into cracks and went on. So it was very controversial for a while, but that controversy was pretty short lived. Now sport climbing is widely accepted across the country. And so, yeah, those are, we talked earlier about the disciplines, right? So traditional climbing and sport climbing are two sub disciplines of rock climbing. And as you mentioned, the Olympics has bouldering, lead climbing, which is sport climbing, clipping bolts as you go, and then speed climbing. And it was somewhat controversial in that for the Olympic format, you climb all three of those. But in the World Cup circuit, people specialize in one of those three. Yeah, that makes sense. I would imagine you'd have to have, you know, strengthen or power or speed or, you know, you don't necessarily have all those capabilities and it probably takes it a very different skill set. So that's interesting. Tell us more about the differences. There's a wide variety of different climbing components or disciplines. So you mentioned a few of those, but there's also a few others like mountaineering ice climbing. Can you tell us a little bit more about the differences between those disciplines? Yeah. So let's start with bouldering, right? So bouldering is unroped climbing at generally low heights. Now, boulders have really pushed that. And there's a fine line between what we call free soloing and bouldering, right? And so free soloing was obviously made very popular by the movie Free Solo, Alex Honnold's movie. So bouldering is unroped climbing using pads and generally it's in the 12 to 15 foot range, but people do push that higher. So that's bouldering. Then we go into top rope climbing. And again, that's where there's an anchor at the top where the rope runs up through the anchor back down to the climber, but everybody's on the ground. Then you move to sport climbing where you're clipping the bolts as you progress up, which is as risk because you will fall further than you would on a top rope, right? And then we go to traditional climbing, which is protecting the rock with various metal devices and camming devices that you can put into cracks. Again, upping the risk a little bit because now you have to have the knowledge to place that equipment properly that it's going to hold if you fall. Then we'll add, let's see, ice climbing, right? Ice climbing can be done via top rope or you could lead. And then when you put all of those disciplines together to ascend big mountains, we get into what we call mountaineering. And so mountaineering is moving over snow, rock or ice or combinations of those things to get into the big mountains. And so rock climbing initially was sort of actually just kind of considered a training for mountaineering. But it evolved into its own discipline. I guess the only other thing I would mention is alpine rock climbing, which is when you're far away from a trailhead and you have to hike in many miles to do a multi-pitch climb in a remote environment. That's kind of an overview of the sub-disciplines. Definitely a lot of variety and opportunity. I'm sure the terrain, the geographic terrain obviously will dictate what's required for which discipline is going to be appropriate. I want to go back to something you said earlier. You were talking about a lot of people are getting their start now in rock climbing gyms. Tell me a little bit about, dive into that a little bit deeper about the distinction between being in a gym. You said it's kind of this controlled environment versus being outdoors in a natural environment. What are the distinctions that you see that maybe people aren't acquiring those skills in an indoor gym that they might need for an outdoor location? Well, some climbing gyms, a couple of examples, the type of device that they use for what we call belaying, which is essentially holding the rope and stopping off the wall, they'll use an auto-blocking device like what's called a gregory. And so climbers from gyms are only familiar with a device that is called, it's actually an assisted braking device. So in other words, if you were to let go of it, it's going to, it's most likely going to stop the climber. And so climbing gyms tend to favor assisted braking devices for obvious reasons. It reduces the risk, but they're not always practical in an outdoor setting. So now a climber may not have experience with having to completely arrest the fall with their own hands using something like a slot belay device, for example, like an ATC. So there's one example. Another example is sometimes climbing gyms will have you clip in with carabiners instead of tying your own knot. So people don't get that repetitive experience in how to tie in properly. And then you just remove lots of hazards, right? You remove loose rock, you remove heat and cold, you remove, you know, snakes, bees, wasps, et cetera. So all of these hazards that are very common in outdoor environment have been removed from the indoor environment. And so it can make it a little more challenging for people to conduct themselves in a safe manner when they enter that less controlled environment. I imagine like being outdoors, for example, if it's cold out, your fingers might kind of cramp up and making it harder to grip and move. Some of those challenges. In addition to kind of weather and these other natural type of creatures you might encounter or rocks breaking, what are some of the other challenges that you may face in climbing outdoors versus climbing indoors? Well, so another example would be the length of the route. Okay, so you know 100% that in a climbing gym, the rope length is appropriate to the length of the route, right? But let's say you go outside and you don't think through that and you have, let's say, a 50 meter rope, right? But the climb, you know, which is, you know, it's fine on the way up. But then when you start lowering, you need to make sure that if that climb exceeds 50 meters. And so a common accident in sport climbing is people go outside, they climb to the top. And then as they lower, they don't realize that the climb is actually longer than the rope. And so if you haven't tied a knot in the end of your rope, it can go flying right through the blade of ice and somebody could get dropped, right? So, you know, that variation in route length is something that you don't see in the gym as much because you know exactly how tall that climbing wall is. And so that's one example. That's really interesting. And when you lead groups outdoors, how many people do you take at a time? Is there kind of a limit to control and make the environment safer? Yeah, there's definitely standards within the field and industry, you know, in the collegiate recreation field, which I've worked in for 18 years, we worked with bigger groups and usually like a 5 to 1 ratio. So we might have 2 staff and 10 participants out at, say, a top rope crag. In my role with Blue Ridge Mountain Guides, I've worked with much smaller groups generally. Guiding tends to be 1 to 1, 2 to 1, maybe 3 to 1, especially in multi-pitch terrain. I rarely would have more than 2 clients, say at Seneca Rocks, where I'm taking people up multiple rope lengths. So that's kind of how that works. Okay. Yeah. And I imagine it's more personalized experience. You can kind of keep a better eye on that. Make sure it's a safer experience for everyone. Talk to me. As you up the risk, you have to, the ratio, the client to guide ratio has to decrease. Yeah, I imagine distractions probably play into that too. The more people there are there, the more distractions there are. Do you have like a no cell phone policy when people are on trips like that? Well, we actually will take snap photos with cell phones, but certainly not while actively climbing or or playing. But no, we don't have a specific policy on that. We kind of have other ways of mitigating those risks. The hands are occupied, right? So they're going to be busy with that. What about people with disabilities? How do you make accommodations for people that either aren't able to use all their limbs or have missing limbs or other kind of physical disabilities? And then maybe you can touch a little bit on intellectual disabilities and is there ways to accommodate them as well in the sport? Yeah. So there's 2 well known climbers. 1 is Mark Wellman. Mark Wellman, I believe is a quadriplegic, didn't have the use of his legs. And he's devised some techniques where essentially it's using somebody would lead up and then fix the rope so that he could climb with some devices, essentially doing a bunch of pull ups, which is quite impressive on the rope itself. And there's a variety of adaptive technologies that have been employed in climbing gems to allow people to climb up the rope and get that same experience as somebody who can who can climb in a more traditional manner. And different programs have specialized in adaptive climbing. And then Eric Wayne, Wayne Amar is a visually impaired climber. He's climbed Everest. And so again, sort of it's sort of the equipment isn't as adapted for somebody with visual impairments, but certainly the the ratio of the guiding and communication that takes place is different. So there is a there is adaptive climbing. It's definitely a thing and a lot of university programs have incorporated it into their programs. You mentioned communication and that's really key between the guide and the person who's climbing or the participant that you're escorting. Talk to me about that because some of these participants are probably learning new vocabulary related to the sport. They may become fearful or they may not understand commands that are given to them. How do you manage the communication piece these challenges? Yeah, thankfully, there's a fairly standard protocol with maybe some slight variations that that's taught to every climber. And so making sure people understand that is is really critical. Another really kind of common mistake is miscommunication, especially within the sport climbing realm, people will get to the top of the climb and then it's unclear what they're going to go on to the anchor and then repel down or what they're going to get lowered, right? So one of the one really important pieces before you leave the ground with your partner, whether it's a guide or just a recreational environment, be clear on what you're doing. Like, okay, I'm going to go to the top. I'm going to thread the rope the anchor and you're going to lower me and don't ever take me off the lay, right? Or you can take me off the lay. I'll pull the rope up and I'm going to repel just that kind of simple agreement about what's going to happen when you're 100 feet up in the air is really important. And then, you know, we use a very standard procedure where it's on the lay, right? That means, okay, I've got you now climbing, climb on. And that basically is a contract then like that you're going to keep your hand on that rope until I say off the lay. And so, yeah, making sure everybody understands the commands we're using and before we leave the ground. And then in a multi-pitch environment, I'll explain and because what's happened sometimes is you get around a corner and the wind picks up and you can't hear and it's really frustrating. Some people use like communication devices like walkie-talkies, but what I do is rope signals and I make it very clear to my partner or client if you feel me tugging three times in a row extremely hard on the rope, that means that you are you can take me off the lay. And so those are some of the techniques that we use. That's great to have a kind of a nonverbal cues if the the environment doesn't allow you to communicate verbally. And there's been an increase of people in the sport since COVID has happened and more people pursuing outdoor activity and many who don't have the experience or safety training in mind. Have you encountered any of people who don't seem prepared to be in that environment or maybe over their heads? And if you have what what have you done if anything in that situation? Yeah, that that's a delicate situation because you see stuff sometimes that maybe is just like not good technique or sort of misapplication of a technique but not necessarily immediately dangerous. And so you know you don't want there's you don't want to create some environment where people don't feel welcome and included in the sport, but at the same time there are times when if you don't speak up it could it could result in a really bad accident, right? I'll give you an example. I was at the New River Gorge guiding a couple weeks ago and that's um very popular and I was surprised at how many people were out with their little kid little very little kids like babies, which is great but that they don't make helmets for kids that small and let's like Rockfall is not uncommon or or something being dropped and I I shudder to think about like a little baby getting hit in the head with something you know without a helmet and so there's like that area where you don't want to like be like well, you know get out of here like want people to be out enjoying the sport with their families, but there's also maybe a lack of awareness of some of the potential issues. Yeah, and so just to be clear the babies are not Scaling the rock face, but they are just on the ground with their parent one of their parents hanging out with the kid and the the hardest part too is sometimes you see like The partners belaying each other and then so no one can actively be with the with the little baby and so um Yeah, just but it's it's something that in nine out of ten times is probably going to be fine, but it has um There's that possibility right and here. I know you're familiar with the idea of like Frequency versus severity right like how frequently do it does an accident occur and how severe when it does occur You know the frequency is probably pretty low there, but the severity is potentially high Right, right. Yeah, so that It may not happen that often, but the type of injury could be really devastating So that's a really um interesting interesting point. So lots of climbers out there Do you think there's areas that are getting overcrowded overused that's maybe either compromising the experience or safety? Oh, sure. That's an ongoing debate within the climbing community. Um as as the gyms have greatly increased the number of climbers um There is that that that that debate for sure and you know often the rub is the parking areas Right lots of climbing areas are in mountainous areas where there's not a lot of real estate to work with And so the parking areas get overrun and that Causes tension with other users and within climbers Um also climbing is not a very dispersed activity, right? So in other words, there's you know, maybe There's 30 routes at one particular crag and we all want to be on those 30 routes, right? And so you can't disperse all that well versus say something like mountain biking, right? There could be You know 100 people on on the mountain, but in various different trails and different parts of the trails and so it's not quite as um It's a little more dispersed than climbing. Um, and so yeah, that's that's an issue 100 percent And I imagine only one crew can be on a route at a time Um for safety reasons But do some of the routes kind of cross over each other and that kind of eliminates the use of Such certain routes. Yeah. So for top roping we tend to try to You know, yeah, only one person only one group can be on the route. Yes. Um In the big climbs like in Yosemite Multiple parties can be on a route because they're much taller, but they do intersect and so Sometimes you'll see people like professionals that are moving extremely quickly. They'll actually pass parties Um, but yeah crowding crowding is an issue and there's no simple answer because you you want to be inclusive You want people spending time outside and Enjoying natural resources and hopefully speaking up for those natural resources because they value them um, but at the same time, um, we 100 know that There's an impact and so the access fund Uh is a climbing conservation Um organization that I would recommend everybody check out and they provide a lot of guidance on how to minimize impacts in the climbing environment Okay, I'm really curious. Have you Either witnessed seen or been involved in an incident and can you describe what that was like in in a rock climbing situation? um, yeah, I did uh I was present when somebody um took a fall So they were lead climbing so starting on the starting on the ground protecting the climb naturally as they climbed up And they fell and I think one of their pieces of gear Popped out and they hit the ground and broke their ankle very severely And um, so I was part of evacuating that person Uh, they were actually quite lucky in that the national guard was at the crag that day doing some kind of training So there was a whole bunch of national guard folks that were able to assist in carrying that person out Um, so that that was one particular incident that I did witness. Yeah National guard got some uh on the ground Relive training there. So, um, that was fortunate for for that individual Um, you know, we're kind of getting to the end of our time. So guy, I'm curious Are there any kind of final thoughts that you would share with someone wanting to get into the sport or maybe Improve their skills and in this sport. Yeah, so It's worth investing in some guiding or instruction It's just far too dangerous a sport to kind of um mess around with like I think making that investment is is very, um, very important and then also You don't need to emulate Alex honnold, um in free solo like Free soloing is a very fringe aspect of the sport and it's practiced by people who have done it for many many years And frankly most of those folks die at some point. So I would just encourage people that are getting into the sport You don't need to rush into free soloing There's plenty of safer ways to enjoy the sport Absolutely and and blue ridge, uh mountain guides is one avenue in which people can Kind of get that leadership from from experts in the area Well, guy, thank you so much for for your time today and joining us on the sports playbook and for teaching us about rock climbing safety and conquering the heights Thank you. It was uh, I really enjoyed talking with you I appreciate your time and expertise. We learned a lot today.

Kayak Fly Fishing at Wimbleball Lake - Why Fishing is Healthy (Vlog - April 2021)
I'm a wreck. House move stresses combined with Christmas, Lockdown, Home Schooling, Work etc. I'm just glad to get out fishing - the first session for months. The scenery is breath taking. The day is glorious. The fish fight like stink. And my mate Ian finally breaks his Wild Brown Trout curse...by catching 6! I wasn't going to be bother filming, so this is a little half hearted, but I hope you enjoy it and if you do watch it, please just add a little comment and consider subscribing if you think you might want to watch more. Thanks. Oh...and I stuck a link to Ian's vid, which is much more fishy than mine and well worth a watch if you ever fancy having a go for those wild rainbows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GQSjFrjAu8&t=358s #fishingvlogs #fishwish #flyfishing

I'm on the water, Wimbleball Lake on Exmoor, fly fishing from the kayak. I haven't been out since October, not properly anyway, so this is a real treat. Montana's always seems to do well at the start of the season, I'm going to use this little tiny Montana nymph as a point fly and then a couple of feet up, fishing a small buzzer and the next dropper, very scanty dressed. I guess that's a hazy buzzer I guess, don't know what that is, it doesn't matter, so it happens. It's a pheasant tale nymph, we all know it's a pheasant tale nymph. Unfortunately my head is mush, all my best intentions to make a video go to pot because I can't string two words together, I can't cast, everyone's catching fish, after an hour I'm so eating into one, I'm still struggling, banks have got busy, they're catching fish, my casting's still rubbish, so I give up the calling, switch off my phone, enjoy the scenery, attitude, just as I do that. The fish takes pity, so camera's back in action, I'll take off my hat, put my camera hat on, but I can eventually find it. The fish has other ideas, does it's absolutely best to make sure that's not going to happen. The Wimbledon trout is a super charged fish, I give it a shot as you'll see, like most of my morning it just doesn't work. The net camera on, back in action, in, by which point catching his second trout of the morning, that's my first in the net. I have, yeah certainly have, I've completely lost the ability to fish. I spoon the stomach, I don't find any contents that are noteworthy, but it's a welcome fish to the bag, and we decide to head off to a quieter spot at Upton Arm. That's such a lazy day today, it's been beautiful down at Wimbledon Lake, my friend Ian's had loads of brown trout, which is great because he's not caught one of those from here before, and I've just bobbed around chilling. My god, it's what the doctor ordered, and just as that sun's gone behind some clouds, I've hooked a rainbow trout after about three or four hours of catching nothing.

Good evening and welcome to another candidate forum here on channel 17 town meeting television My name is Howard Wood and I'll be the moderator tonight tonight. We're doing Democratic primary candidates for Chittenden County Sheriff and I want to introduce our candidates. This is Michael major and Kevin McLaughlin. I Mispronounced your name earlier, but I think I got it right this time you did so Gentlemen, we're gonna start with an opening statement. I'll start with you Michael if that's okay We'll give you a couple of minutes to basically tell people why you're interested in running for this position And what what qualities you bring? I appreciate that I've been a state employee And working with the sheriff's office for 34 years during that time I was also able to accomplish a couple of degrees I received the associate's degree in criminology through Champlain and also a bachelor's degree in business also through Champlain Also during the years I've worked for other agencies. I've worked for Heineberg police Richmond police I also worked for the Addison County Sheriff's and Franklin County Sheriff's for a term each Since 1992 approximately. I've also been a field training officer for the agency Where I've actually trained the deputies that the sheriff would hire brought him in showed him the Valcor system our computer systems paperwork any kind of Legal documents Pay-per-work, etc. We would have to be done also during that time. I've done some volunteer work. I did 20 years With the kids and cop program special Olympics, I've also done 18 years worth of Boy Scout volunteer work I tried to be in the community as much as I can over the years and that that has definitely Come to fruition I also spent 10 years on the South Bronx and Reptile Board dealing with inmates and and What they call a direct referral which would go to the board instead of somebody actually going to court first on a different charge That we actually come to the board We would discuss it and then we would act as a judge and actually determine What people would have for penalties or any kind of punishment based on their first-time charge? I've also done Work with the federal and state grants. I was the coordinator. I applied for the grant under the sheriff's office since 1995 I've also Been involved in political work. I've done a lot of testifying down at the state house On different committees. I'm currently assigned to the governor's marijuana bill as a committee through the Vermont police association So I've done a little bit of everything in my 34 years and Recently education the experience that I have I think I'm a good candidate for the position of sheriff. Great. Thank you Thank You Michael and Kevin. Let's Why do you want this position? Well, my name is Kevin McLaughlin I'm the current sheriff in Chittany County, and I've been with the sheriff's office now for 45 years And I started out as a deputy and worked my way up all through the ranks and became the chief deputy and then in 1984 80 486 I went to work as a DEA drug task force agent came back and then that year in 1986 I ran for sheriff was successful, and I've been sheriff ever since Basically, I'm gonna give you some of my professional developments that I've done over the years I'm a graduate of the FBI National Academy. I'm a graduate of the National Sheriff's Institute on management University of Southern California, Los Angeles Also graduated of the senior executives in state and local government Kennedy School of government in Cambridge Then with the Vermont police academy and many different functions over the years about 30 years as a training the training coordinators what we do is we actually Call the TAC committee training advisory committee what we do is actually Plan for the training of the police academy for the 16 weeks that they go through DEA Drug schools department of Homeland Security go on and on as sheriff It's very unusual position because you are hired all the staff You also are the human resource director. We have to take care of all the payroll systems The health care systems the retirement systems you prepare plan develop and oversee the state and county and Department budgets We hand to all the contractual services the sheriff of the county is the legal contractor for the department We do all the civil process in the county, which is between four and five thousand people yearly Also oversee all the transport state budgets all the seizures and share of sales that we do in this in the civil side of the house Put together all the rules and regulations standard operating procedures and on and on and on and basically my priorities for the next four Years are to maintain a DEA drug task force agent that I have assigned at the DEA drug task force for the last Spend there since 2006 and he is currently the longest serving task force agent what he is doing He's assigned there to fight the opioid drug issues that we're having in the state and around the country because they go beyond the state of Vermont We have a new governor's highway safety person coming on hopefully in in October and that would be a full-time position He will oversee the grants for all of Chittenden County all the police agencies in that area So this will be a first for us Continue good training for deputies and staff One of my missions in the next four years is to support the video arraignment system That has kind of gone in and out of the court system and to continue all the programs that we've developed Over the years school resource officer officer child support. We contract services for their Investigative unit civil process Department of Health to present the children and families patrols in three towns Court security and drug tape back stuff. So that's pretty much What I've accomplished over the last 31 years and I want to continue to do that for the next four I think we're lucky to have to such Accomplished people going after this can I ask a question? I'll start with you Kevin a little bit about For those people that don't realize that we have a county sheriff's department as opposed to the local How do you see your role or you could have helped us to explain to the viewer? What the sheriff does or the sheriff's department does as opposed to the local police department? Well, there's three layers of government state county and local We contract for services for a lot of towns that do not have police departments can't afford a full-time police department So what they like to do is they'll contract with with the sheriff's in Vermont Whether it's for five hours a week or 50 hours a week. We currently can contract with Westford, Jericho and Underhill We do that. So the people out there probably see a lot more of the law enforcement deputies in market units doing traffic stops things like that The prisoner transportation we do that all over the state of Vermont because we have the only female jail in the state of Vermont here and the only Juno unit so many times when they call us to transport We may have to take somebody from South Burlington to Bennington or Brattleboro Newport So they go all over the state. So they're always moving and in the civil division the the deputies that work there They work in plain clothes and plain Plain cars and they serve civil process throughout the whole county and what they do is those are summons that complaints Court orders seizures assets. We do share of sales from time to time We seize as it because of the court order. So this is kind of a thing that we're all over the place People see on traffic control. You'll see the officers out in traffic control when we have those type of contracts also That's great Michael. You mentioned that you were part of the governor's Kind of task force on marijuana Tell me a little bit about your involvement in that and what your views are and how do you think that's going to impact? Chittenden County in the future where you think that's going to affect when when you become sheriff Well, I was part of the legislative board for the Vermont police association And part of the governor's request is that they have a Member of the association on the actual board So I've been on it for a year. It's going to continue for at least another year and we've done a lot of Research we even had a couple of experts come up or actually do it by By email or by computer from colorado You know these people have 30 and 40 years plus And they have a state experience absolutely and absolutely and they're studying it, you know day to day So we're taking that information And as the board And looking at it, but we're also looking at it from different views We have the taxation part of it. We have the medical side of it and then we also have the public safety side of it I'm on the public safety side so we meet Currently we've met, you know four times and then we meet At individual units and then we meet together as an accumulative unit to discuss all the issues And then we end up making a report to the governor, which we did in january So we have another report that has to be done by december 18th Um, and we're still doing, you know more research as you know Legalization of marijuana is a huge topic and colorado is actually finding out some of the issues that it's causing They're having more homeless move into the area People are actually, you know mailing marijuana through the postal service Which is you know, having problems for the postal service and And in chinti county, we're going to see Now that it's legalized, we're going to see a lot more issues. I think Basically with the thc levels being uncontrollable as far as regulations The actual marijuana thc levels. Yeah, it's been Homegrown so there's no regulation on the quantity Right So that's going to increase issues and problems And then you end up with car accidents, you know domestics Property damage That's all going to cause issues for the local law enforcement And and we really haven't seen all the issue that it's going to cause yet I think it's going to get worse before it gets better We've already seen one issue where they're giving away free marijuana with the sale of a t-shirt You know, that's come on really you give them five feet. They take a mile So i'm not too sure or where it's going to end up in six months or a year But the board is working hard. We're trying to get the right information to the governor That's great. Kevin, you must have you know, pretty clear or some ideas on where this is going for As well, what are your thoughts? I have many friends in colorado who are sheriffs and and when I go to the national sheriffs conferences We meet we're on the i'm on the drug enforcement committee of the national sheriffs association I've been there for almost three years and basically we talk about that We talk about the drug issues nationwide where it's coming from where it's going what's happening And the sheriffs in colorado tell me to tell the sheriffs in vermont get ready. It's coming your way And I think one of the questions is, you know, does it complicate your job in any way? I think it's way too early for that But I think the complications would be on drug while driving. I mean, is there any testing for that? We haven't got that yet And I think that that would be the first issue to come and we would have to get more dres Which is a drug recognition expert That's a police officer who gets a elaborate training in this area where he can actually See certain characteristics that occur that a judge Judge would accept as a dy kind of thing. So these are issues that I think we're just at the beginning of Uh And you can just look at other states to see where they were day one week one year one year five that kind of thing And they say it's pretty going to be pretty much the same Go ahead. I the sheriffs thing about the dres The process for the dres is pretty lengthy. It's pretty involved They're finding out that Certain areas of vermont have more dres than others like orleans county. They might have one So the response time for that dre is longer and anything over an hour They're not responding based on the time and the purse. It's a level of intoxication What some of the other issues they're finding is that officers are not applying To be dres Well, like I said, it's a hard course you have to apply And if and once you're Rejected as such, you know, some people just don't want to go back Plus with people retiring Like state police have a lot of people retired this year. So some of them that are dres are taking that training with them, obviously That's a big issue. Also, we don't really have good field testing equipment To give to the officers in the field So you're sitting there wasting an hour hour and a half waiting for a dre to come over Then the dre easily takes two to three hours to do the processing. So it's not it's not short sweet and quick It really takes a long time to get the process going And because there's so few They're called out more often and think about it if you're the only person within 50 to 100 miles On a weekend and this is going to be an issue. How many times you're going to get called out And after a while they go this is this is enough. You know, what's the answer to this more dres and better Testing equipment and until we get the testing equipment the dres is Yeah, pretty much yet. So what just What is the what is the process when a dre You have someone and you suspect something what happens then? Well, the dre will show up and they'll just literally take you over the stop They'll just start talking to the person Sometimes they'll take them back to their office and there's a whole sheet of questions that have to be asked and answered first And then based on their scientific knowledge of the drugs They'll go into like physical testing looking at the eyes of the sort of speech But the process like I said, it's it's extremely long It's really tying up officers on the road and then depending what happens in court if the case gets dismissed A lot of that time is wasted. They really don't want to show that an officer did something wrong Because it goes against the tar program But like the state is tasked with buying all the equipment that money has to come from somewhere Well, what about, you know in terms of Not just marijuana, but in terms of things like opioids and various things It's the same it's the same thing. It's the drugs. I mean certain things with your eyes and and they're all they're all They're all trained into doing that. So it's very similar the dre officer Has trained in all of those different aspects of those things. That's interesting, you know And so there's appears from both of you that they're we have a real need for Many more officers that are trained in that as well as the equipment that goes with it Where does that where does that funding come from working? Well, the funding would come from most likely the state of Vermont and Either through governor's highway safety or federal grants most kind of things Not less the state department of public safety can get it in the grant for them And then deal it out through other agencies throughout the state. Do you see that coming in the future? Is that Well, the site I mean the uh, the state lab has some equipment But as we develop with more dearies It takes more equipment to do the same jobs because of the uh, the volume Yeah, but there So that obviously the opioid thing and other drugs, you know besides marijuana seems to be on the increase anyway All of the all of the law enforcement agencies seem to be dealing with it, you know Um, where does the sheriff? How do you see the sheriff's role in that type of thing? Well, as the sheriff said, we have an undercover DEA officer, but in talking with him With the opiate issues that we currently have in the legalization of the marijuana taking a back seat Now it's going to be even further back The bigger issue is the opiates, obviously, but with the legalization it's going to make it a lot harder What do you think? Well, I I agree that it's going to be a lot harder and at the same time I think that more people are going to be carrying it Because you can carry up to a certain amount and not getting into trouble if you don't have any problems And because more people are carrying it I think what worries me the most is that it's going to be easier to say Oh, you don't have any here. Try some of mine and that will just go more and more And that bothers me because I think the younger generation probably you're going to get sucked into this and Expose into it have accessibility to it based on it being a homegrown So and when you go over to your friend's house, you know Even though you're supposed to grow in the areas that you can't be seen right They'll see it and then hey, you know your mom and dad are gone. I'm coming over. I worry about all that Well, let's veer a little bit into the whole notion about the you know the gun control kind of legislation I'll start with you Michael a little bit about what your view on the recent, you know, legislation Legislators just passed, you know Gun control legislator legislation What are your thoughts on those things and how is that going to impact your your viewpoints in the sheriff's department? well as far as Like high-capacity magazines, obviously law enforcement is exempt I don't really Personally, I don't see how the capacity of the magazine will save lives There's equipment out there that you can carry four and five 10-round magazines in your gun you just swap them, you know left to right up and down So the number round is still going to be there along with pouches that you can carry on your on your waist So I'm not sure how that's going to save lives The other aspects just like somebody being under 20 and one without taking hundred safety I'm actually for that I've made sure I have five kids all five of my kids have taken the hundred safety course Before they were able to look at a gun buy a gun or even go hunting which is law anyways But to me the education part of it to me. It's not a punishment. I think everybody should know about weapons I think by training them they'll hopefully respect them a little bit better You won't have accidental discharging In you know, somebody just walking into a store and buying the gun and walking walking out Not knowing anything about it. That's just not good business Yeah Well As a law enforcement officer in the state of ramaa, I mandated to And sworn to uphold the laws of the state of ramaa. These are now laws Some of these laws will affect a law enforcement officer Like the extreme. I think it's called the red flag one Where law enforcement officer if a court orders it could go to a seize a weapon From somebody who it shouldn't have it for a year and those kind of things So that that would affect law enforcement that way and that's my job is to enforce that I think some of the other things that are law probably law enforcement won't get involved in But we as sheriffs could get involved in when I look at the law the way it's changed if somebody has the Stuff that they're not supposed to have And it gets that way where maybe it's a civil case if somebody takes the civil case to court And all of a sudden there's an order to go seize it so we as sheriffs may get involved in that also So it's it's you don't know how it's going to turn out But my opinion is Is is uh, it's a statute I'm mandated to do it and I can't take sides either way because if I do Something's going to say he's biased against or he's biased for so we have to remain I have to remain neutral on that This may get me in trouble for asking this question and you feel free not to answer But is there a need from a law enforcement? aspect for More or more Gun control at all. Do you think? Well, as you know, vermont is one of the safest states in the union. We have had very few if any gun laws Um, I think what happened recently is an eye opener Where that young man and In the down south in the school district down there where he was saying that he wanted to um Hurt and kill more people than the virginia tech did that that's an eye opener It's like wait a minute. This is vermont. This is not supposed to happen here So when you step back and take a look at that saying, oh my god, this could happen here, too So it's an eye opener. I think that we all have to pay attention to it We have the mental illness thing going around where we have that that is really causing a lot of issues. We need more Uh help in that area and police are getting it to some degree With people working, but the mental health professionals really have to step up and take over that I'm not trying to try to anybody's second amendment rights of those things. I just wonder from a, you know, You know a law enforcement perspective what you think is if there's a need for more or something What do you think michael? Um, I think uh, you know hunter as well and you know, so I think uh, it has to be we revisited Um, I think some some of the decisions were too quick Um, I really think we need to back up a little bit Um, like the sheriff said, you know When you're talking about the mentally ill have access to guns, you really don't know what's going to happen How do you prevent that? There has to be something out there we can do You know better background checks Who's really going to apply for a background check probably the honest person You're not going to have the bad guy or the mentally ill person going to a gun shop and applying for a gun They're going to get it from our friend Black market. It's just not going to happen legally What about the 3d gun stuff? That's you know, they're talking about you know, that seems like that's going to be a whole another issue That we'll get into another time. I read I read uh, I read a Story not too long ago and they were talking about problems facing vermont and they did a study And the first one with 27 was the economy jobs and the cost of living 19 was drugs in the opiate 11 was taxes and almost way down the bottom 2 guns in marijuana But once once again guns in marijuana Haven't really surfaced in vermont yet. And if that does happen How those are going to be 27 percent 19 five six years from now, right? Something to watch and be careful about what do you think that issues or If you and when you get elected What are what are the things that you want to bring to the table and and really focus on when You know day one My priority wise is to maintain a financial stability for the office By hiring more deputies Going out into the community looking for contracts More outside yearly contracts. We only have a couple right now And we depend a lot on part-time officers By having the full-time contracts full-time patrol like the sheriff said We can increase our staffing and by doing that Having more staffing and do more contracts as far as profitable type contracts Bringing in the money to pay off, you know, the debts re-accumulate Because we are self-funded There are only certain positions in the office that are paid by the state of mind the sheriff's position Mine as the state deputy along with five other officers The two secretary staff are also paid by county But everything we do is self-funded In order to maintain that financial stability we have to have officers on the road And work it Kevin I agree with that and like I said the some of the issues you have is you have your good years You have your bad years and you have to plan for those in over the years I I saw a huge thing happening around 2008 I saw our civil division going way up way up in demand for services civil process or whatever And and I look back during that time and basically it was a credit card companies They were coming after you when you were 500 dollars behind not 12,000 and they were coming That's when the economy collapsed back then and now in the last 12 months We've seen a huge decrease in civil process the economy is good People are paying their bills so our civil process is going down So it's an up and down ride and you have to as sheriff plan for this because You have people working for you on a full-time basis And you have people who work for your part time and they and they like to have the 10 to 12 hours a week extra And so as your as your years go up and down You have to plan for this because of the fact that we don't get funding for motor vehicles We have 25 cars imagine what that costs just right there And then uniforms for all the staff are not supplied by the county or state and those kind of things So as I look forward to it as forward in in in the contract world Yes, but at the same time law enforcement generally nationwide in vermont We're having problems finding qualified candidates Because you read in the paper every day what's going on and you know, who wants to be a cop anymore? I mean, that's an issue that we're seeing and no in the candidates you get aren't the ones that maybe would have wanted five years ago So these are the issues that you have to to look at and You know the millennial generation is a little different from the instant gratification generation from this generation It's like well, I have to work weekends. Well, I have to work nights. I mean Sometimes that happens and we're down to just a few minutes So I want to give each of you a minute or so to make a final statement Michael will start with you if you can Just you know, let let the viewers know You know, let the voters know and by the way, I want to make sure that everyone realizes go out and vote but Michael um Michael major what is give us a minute or so of your statement there. Thank you over my 34 years of service I've worked and prepared myself for this day The sheriff Obviously has been in his position for 34 years But over my time, I've been able to increase my education and knowledge of the sheriff's job and responsibilities I've testified at the state house on committees. I've increased my knowledge of the political field I've been unlike I said the the special legislative committee for the governor I was also on the law enforcement advisory board of the chair The chair of the even more police administration 2015 currently the treasurer now But with all the assignment I've done over the years the details the education the training I feel that all that combined Really shows that I'm ready to take over the slot of sheriff Great. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Kevin Well in my 45 years In the chinning county sheriff's office and 31 years as sheriff on all those committees that we were just discussing I've served on those and actually I think in many of them. I was on the original Founding members like to coosie in a chinning unit for special investigations I was one of the founding members 31 years ago when the chiefs got together and said we need To have a unit specialized in these kind of things because we're not getting good good cases because they're so few and far between Um Having transformed My staff in 1987 to around from around three or four full-time positions at 21 positions today over the years modernizing the agency Working with all of the law enforcement agencies in chinning county and around the state of vermont There's so many things that have happened in my career that are so successful that I love this job Like uh, I was I was chosen to be a grant reviewer by president clinton's staff On uh americorps. I went to washington and actually did grant reviews grant facilitating Back in the days when brady bill. We were established as the only sheriff's office in the united states of america that actually did brady law checks Gun checks for the whole state of vermont So those are kind of things that I've been involved in I was on the national sheriff's conference review committee Which assisted in writing the manual for court security and transportation and prisoners that was a national study This was for all sheriffs around the nation. I was on that committee And chosen to be on that committee based on my experience in in my in my office tenure as sheriff So i'm Looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to the new governor's highway safety program We're going to implement this year. Hopefully on october 1st waiting for a few things to Fill in and basically i'm running for reelection and I um asked for your vote and Well, I thank you for your continued support Thank you to both of you.

Got a little jump cape right there. Yeah. Just gonna fish it on it for a couple years. It's my best friend, Craig. Yeah. Pumping gas and catching bass ready to hit it hard today. It's my new last motto. There's nothing more. My best friend, Craig, loves them. Some top water bites. I mean, we've got most of our top water dreams tied on right now. We're going to see if it takes place. We are in the prime time of it. I'm excited. Craig's never been to this lake before. We've got reeds, grass, clear water. It is postponed. It is time to get those bloop bloop bloop. I'm so excited about today, y'all. Conditions are looking over. Cast top water. Oh, OK. There are some pads that are starting to surface. Popper? Well, you know what? I got a plot bait tied on. Oh, my gosh. It looks so good. Got grass growing out here to 10 foot. I don't know if we're going to get them on top water, but, man, at this moment in time, it just feels right. Oh, yeah. This is going to be golden. I'm miked up. I'm miked up, so. You got a hot mic. Woo! Look at that, guys. We got some dagum. Top cruisers. Looking for somebody to just come up and clap cheeks. Full cheek clap on this thing. I'm thinking there's probably going to be some fish cruising these outer grass lines post-spawn. But if we can't get this going, then we'll go up into the reeds and get dirty. There's always shallow fish. There's like two classes of fish after the spawn. Some just stay up there. They eat bluegills and some chase shad out on the deeper stuff. I've noticed you always prefer the shad chasers. Are they bigger out here? It's just a larger amount of fish. I feel like most of them will follow that shad program if there are a lot of shad. You can always go up in dirty shallow water in the heat of summer. And if there's bluegills around, if there's shade, you know, you got docks, whatever, there's going to be fish. I got some WD-40 in here if you want to give that thing a squirt. It's probably been a couple of years since you squirted that thing. There you go, bud. There he is. Get him. Oh, he spit it. I didn't get a great hook set this morning. That was a decent one. Yeah, you know what? It might be more of like a popper situation. Yeah, I think so, man. Not a great hook set. The wind was... Dude, yeah. It was like you were struggling a little bit. I really can't say anything because I haven't had a bite. Get him, buddy. Slow. That's the deal. Yeah, let it sit. Okay, putting on a popper. Can't stand it. So at this point, Craig has had two good bites on a frog, just letting it sit. So I switched over to the blooper, throwing it on a braid, and I'm just going to let it sit over these little grass spots. Just got to work it slow. The walking-style bait, you can still catch them on it, but that will start to get much better when the water gets a little warmer. And I pretty much put down the popper-style baits after June. There you go. Get that one in, Craig. I'm not sure what you're doing. I don't know what's going on with Craig back here. He's gotten like five bites, and these fish are just somehow getting off. I haven't missed a frog fish in 2007. I'm about to pick up a worm, dude, because I haven't had a single sniffy. Small poppin' frog? Do you see a small black one? Yes, I do. Oh, just had one on it. That's how you do it. Nope, no, we got it. That is a nice one. We got him on that glass rod. Hopefully he's not going to get too crazy on it. It's a big boy. He's got troubles in him, too. Look at this beautiful fish. That bite was awesome. Yeah, he was on it, and then he came up and popped it, dude. Oh, he's got it. He's got a mouthful of trouble. He's got it. Come here, buddy. Oh, look how beat up that fish is. That is beat. Is that a post spawn? He looks awful. Holy cow. That is the only bite that I've had today. But it is a quality bite. Five pounder topwater. I saw a boil behind the bait, and I was like, oh, there's one on it. And I just let it sit. Let it sit there. That's the thing with the blooper. You've got to let it sit. And then, wah-bam, literally you can see the bones in its tail. It's been spawning so hard. I'm going to get back in the water really quick. These fish are still up here, either guarding fry or they're chasing bluegill around. And this bloop, bloop, I don't know if you guys have ever heard. If it's real still, you'll sometimes hear bluegill popping little bugs and little things off the surface. And it's this little sound. And I think that's what makes this so attractive. Of course, you've got dying shad and all that. But this right here for me, post-spawn, like late April, early May, all through May really, it's the top water to go to, like I mentioned. So that was awesome. That's how you do it, Craig. You just get them in. I don't know. I don't know what to say. Look at the bluegill up there. You see him? I mean, they're like up there, dude. And I feel like most of your bites, you've only been three feet or less from the reeds. So these big bass will hang around and get their revenge on the bluegill that have been eating their eggs all spring. There you go, bud. See, like... I don't know. It's like little tweener grabs, you know? Give him that one Mississippi, two Mississippi. So I tried that on the other one. Looks like he's guarding his fry. See that? See the fry that he's guarding? Hopefully you guys can see this. But there's a bass, you know? There's about a two-pound bass. He's following this ball that looks like a little shrimp. But those are all tiny little bass. A couple of hundred of them. And that's the male bass, and he is guarding the fry. So he's coming under the boat right here to say hello. Hello? How you doing? He's going right back to his fry. So in this situation, you throw like a weightless plastic or something over that fry ball, you know? And that fish is not aware of you. Oh, there's another ball right here. It is going to eat that. And that's a lot of times what happens with topwater, too. You get it in that area and they'll come up and they'll smack it. You may not see that there's fry there, but it's a male bass that's guarding fry. I think some of the ones that you've missed today, Craig, is those fry garters. You know, they're just kind of swiping it. It's fun to be able to see these fish, but I think it's going to make things a little more difficult. Oh yeah, buddy. Get him. Is that a gar? I see a gar, but it looks like a bass. That's weird. It's right in that shade line. Oh, I got him. Good one. Nice. That is a nice one. Heck yeah, bud. That was out there, Louise. Long pause, too. Yeah, see, man? That's long, long pause. The bite is really interesting. Oh, he's barely hooked. I'm going to try both of them. That's a nice fish. Healthy. Heck yeah, that one is healthy. That's like the opposite of the other one. The other one was double mouthful, beat to hell. This one's beautiful. Just got a little bit of a stress mark on its tail. Otherwise, gorgeous fish. I'd say two and three quarters. Three pounder a month ago. Nice fish right there, guys. Topwater fish. We're kind of, you know, we're off that morning by just 9.30. But we still got these fish out of the cruise and these blue go beds. So we've got a big flat out in front of us. We'll try the topwater, but we've been talking like we're missing, we're really missing the majority of the bites by not throwing like a weightless bait, like a dart or a lunker log out here. But it's just so much more fun getting the topwater strikes, let's be honest. Oh, that's a bass. That look pretty good size, my friend. I'm going to let you recast there. Oh, yeah. There we go. Going slow, slow, slow. Right there. I'm going to do this grass. The lengthy pause, too. Leave, buddy. Barely hooked. Yeah, see, they're swiping it. They are. Were they hit the worm harder, you think? Yeah. I think they'll just, you know, be more apt to bite it. That's a super healthy fish, though, right there. Really healthy. Third fish on the blooper. It's like you're throwing a walking bait. You're just constantly looking at it. You know, you're checking out the action, making sure I'm going over the right thing right here. And with the blooper style and the frog style when it is slow like this, you almost just like pop it and you're like, hey, what's going on? What'd you do last night? What's going on? You almost have to disconnect yourself with the bait just to not work it. Also, your line is really important. You do not want to use fluorocarbon, especially with long pauses, because it's just going to send the nose of your bait down. Monofilament, even though, I like to use at least 14 pound. Usually I go with 15 pound mono. And that diameter is like the perfect size that floats. It still gives you great action. You can cast it really well. But even the line size will determine the buoyancy. But I've got braid on right here. I've got 40 pound braid. So braid floats. I like the no stretch. I went to a glass rod. It's really soft. So it still keeps the fish hooked up. Where I can give that real hard even on a long cast. What was your X-Box name? Brush Hog 05? Topwater Pop-R was one. Topwater Popper, Brush Hog 05. Brush Hog 05 was another. You had to pick an animal. Let's call it a land animal to transform into right now. And that's what you'd live out the rest of your life as. What would you do? A land based animal? Yeah. It's a good boat talk right here. Man, probably a cougar. A cougar? You got one on mine? Yes sir. Here we go, sign of life. Sign of life? It's about to say if there isn't one on this point. There isn't one in here. Oh yeah. Nice one. Yes sir. I got him. I got that big spinning setup. Nice fish. Quality unit. Spawned out of course, but got him on the dart. Alright, my buddy he's heading home. He's going to do dad things. Had a few bites on the top top. Skunked. Could not land them, but Zero's on me. That's the way she goes sometimes. The way she blows. Love ya. Be safe going home. I'll send you a picture of an ape pounder. Woof. Getting toasty y'all. Shirt is pretty sick. Available soon. GooganSquad.com Got the crappie. Crappie infused. Apparel. How about it? Top water's done. Completely done. You're watching this right now. Pretty impeccable timing on your part. I mean please give the folks at home some market tips because wow, you pulled out right before the crash my guy. What we got in here? Nuggies. Beaver Nuggies. Man, you remember Cheetos as a kid? I don't know what that is. I'm not sure I've ever had these before, but they're amazing. I'm going to dig one more bag out of my tricks. Got a worm that we're working on. True finestile worm. It is a tasty little nugget. Wabam. I've caught a few fish on it. Just shakey heading, drop shotting, but I've never wacky rigged it. This thing is going to sink about as slow as a cigarette butt. Wacky rig ready to go. A little different view for you guys. I mean, no weight in there. I could probably put a yeah, you know what? I'm going to put a tiny little weight in the head. Check these out. Little tubes. Put your little spike weights in there. See if I got a they're all the same size. This is it for me guys. This is as finessy as I am willing to go today. This is it. So I'm going to insert this, not nose, but about mid body. These little tongues and nail weights can do. Oh yeah. That's a tasty little biscuit right there. Okay. Light line. Take this nail weight out. Just go really lightweight worm. And if you have a bright colored worm, like a white or a pink or a methylate, you can fish it on the surface. And they eat it like a top flutter. Floating worm. Floating worm style. Oh, there's a bite. Got him. I mean, that's what it takes. Holy cow. I didn't land him. But there he was. I mean, I have fished this up and down with the sea rig. Swim baits. Weightless dart. Little one wants it. And he took my worm. Let's try another flavor. My favorite colors all the time for ET. Chartreuse pepper. Got him. I'm not sure that was a fry garter. I just did the old visual cast on him. With the pinner. With the pinner worm. Ah. Had him pinned with the pinner. Nice little healthy guy. This thing is dirty. I mean, this is a dirty sock right here in the water. I don't know if you guys can see that. And the way that I've always rigged these style worms when I'm fishing them weightless like this, weightless wacky, is I'll go like in the front third of the bait. Instead of right in the middle. So basically trying to get the halfway point, the balance point of the worm. So if you were going to balance it weight wise try to find that spot and it'll fold over better, be a better presentation in the water instead of just like sinking head first. That can be good sometimes too. But I'm trying to keep it up on top and just twitch it. Massive bluegill beds. Massive bluegill beds. How you can skip this thing really good too. Should have another one eat it. Oh, he dropped it like a little scoundrel. Oh god, he broke me off. I should have retied it for getting stuck. God, that thing ate it in the dirt. Little guy. Sucker, spit my worm. Little buddy. Pugger, he spit my worm too. You able to get it? A little bit of cleanliness around this reed edge. There's one. I'm going to say there should be one right here. Okay, here we go. Buddy is on the run. Don't spit my worm. Got him. These little fish. There's something here. Made a little something out of it. Goal. Oh, buddy, buddy, buddy. And that's what we got. That's what we ended up with. Wow. Saw him slowly coming. That was a three pounder. Just got the absolute knot from Hades here. Oh my gosh. That's a done ski right there. Now the alternative that probably won't get near as many bites. Maybe none. Just throw a little sneaky frog up in there. There's a big bass looking at it right now. That bass might be just straight up on the bed. She broke it off. Folks at home. We're having a difficult time here. Regroup, regroup. Let's just calm down. Big old fray right there is exactly where it broke. That was from driving down the highway. Scratching on something. Alright, our two key bed baits are broken off right now. Frog. Let's see if these fish want to play any games. Any frog games. I don't want to play those frog games. 100% my friend Craig getting those frog bites this morning. That's what he was getting. He was getting those fry garters that don't really want to get it in their mouth. They just want to smack it. Okay. We've got a double pair up that situation. There's three. Three on a bed. This is it. This is the dayender. Three fish on a bed. Oh yeah, two good ones in the bed right now. It's not smart. Behind a limb. Not smart at all. Gotta play it right. I just need this fish to cooperate and not break off. That would be wonderful. Big one sees it. Get in here. I'm going to well it for a second because there's a bigger one in there. I don't see it anymore. Disturb the piece. I just don't see that other one. There's one more up here. I think this might have been the one that I broke off. Definitely catchable. Flipping. So good with the fish. Oh my god. That fish was a rocket. I don't know if it's going to bite again. Oh my gosh. Guys, I had the wood on that fish and it still just rocked me. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. I mean, I put the juice on. The fish is still there. This is an angry fish. Turbo Charge 5. I'm flipping so good with this. I don't know what I did to this Gold Series but it is super, super lubed. It has been a grind today. An absolute grind. I hate to end on a soggy note not catching this fish but I'm telling you I'm just grinding out here. We went from awesome topwater action in the morning to getting no bites. Having to switch to full finesse mode figured out something up shallow. Fish are really finicky and usually you're fish up shallow in the summer months after they've been tankered with a little bit. They get really finicky. Found some random bed fish which also happens in May and I hooked a really good one. I kind of had a fumble. I fumbled the ball in the fourth quarter. What can I say? Can't be good every time and a lot of times for me it's not. That's why I cherish the days that are awesome. I would still love if you guys smash the like button as we get into this post spawn. The month of May probably my favorite month is the fish just because you can kind of do a little bit of everything. You can get those topwater eats. Feel some bed fish. The swim bait bite starts to get pretty good. Off shore starts to appear. It's really a great month to get out there and fish. But I'm going to let this bed fish go and I actually saw I think what was the big one I was trying to catch. It came back and it got on a different bed for a second. Probably looking for a boyfriend right here. Oh my gosh. Angry. I wish all fish were as angry and aggressive as you. Wow. There's a nice fish right there guys. Really nice fish. I still think the biggest one of the day was the one that I lost right here. But the one that I hooked this morning on the topwater that I actually got in. It was about 5 pounds. Bloody tail right here. This fish should have been spawning. But I'm going to let it go back to its bed with a girlfriend and do the things. Thank you guys for tuning in to today's adventure. And I will see you. Back to the girls and more babies.

Who is the most important X-factor player that needs to step up for Raven's playoff win? We jumping straight into it with this first question from my guy, Joshua. He said, what's up in Graven, great job on another season covering the Ravens meticulously. I know you'll say you're not, but you are the man. No, I am a man, but definitely not the man. But I appreciate you, I appreciate the questions that you done sending this year because you've been bringing it. And you don't pull no punches or nothing. So I always appreciate that. Anyway, he said, believe it or not, I actually have faith about a Ravens win this weekend. Oh, me too! We on the same boat, but anyway, let's keep going. I'm not blind, the Bengals are clearly the better team, but their tendency to get away from the run game can shoot them in the foot, especially if the Ravens can find a way to hog time and possession and force enough three announced to keep them under 24 points. If our defense and special team keeps the game in arms reach, who do you think on offense besides whoever's at quarterback needs to have the biggest X-factor game of their career for this win against all odds? If I got to go on offense, I would say specifically JK Dobbins. I would say JK Dobbins because if he can have a game, like have a game, then the Ravens can control the game. And if the defense can do what they've, they've been doing pretty good overall against Joe Burrow this year. They should have Marcus Peters back so that'll be nice. Daryl Warley like played out of his mind and obviously got Marlon Humphrey. Kyle Hamilton been coming along strong. You got Marcus Williams and this will be a Bengals game that he finishes. I mean, he finished the last one too. Roquan Smith, this will be his second Bengals game. But I would say JK Dobbins because if he's going off then and they scoring in the red zone too, that's so important. But if he's going off then the Ravens they're not only controlling the clock, but they're converting, they're getting first downs. They're keeping drives alive. The clock is moving. So they're holding the ball like you mentioned time and possession. So I would say him. And then, I mean, we brought up so many people on defense already. But yeah, if I had, if I could go for a unit, like say a unit that would be the X factor, I would say the offensive line. Because the off, and I know it sounds so often to line that's such a boring answer, but it's true because the offensive line can set the tone and keep the tone for the game. If they're doing great run blocking, like they have been doing, especially recently, JK Dobbins could go off. If they do great pass blocking, that's the one right there where it's like, eugh, they can be great pass blockers. Then that'll give Anthony Brown or Tyler Huntley, but it'll give Anthony Brown a whole lot of time for his receivers to drop passes. Next question is, I was just playing, well, I was playing, but I wasn't playing but anyway, I'm just playing, I'm just messing around. But anyway, next question came from Lynetta. She said, hey, engraving, how are you in the family? Hey, we doing really good Lynetta, I appreciate it. She said, I have a question, will Lamar posting about his injury? Do you think the players will try to win it all for Lamar, or is this wishful thinking? I'm just wondering, what do you think? Thank you for all that you do, and I appreciate you. Hey, no, I appreciate you. Now, yeah, I can see that they're of course trying to win it for Lamar, but they just trying to win it for themselves. They just trying to win it, period. I think with Lamar just talking about his injury status and whatnot, him putting it out there, that I think it's something that they probably knew already, but it just makes it official to the world now. Like, okay, yeah, Lamar's done. But it does put even more pressure on them since they don't have their superman at quarterback. It puts pressure on all the next men up because Lamar, when he was there, he nine times out of 10, he alleviated pressure off people. There will be some games where he put more pressure on people. He was having a rough game, but nine times out of 10, he's alleviating a lot of pressure off a lot of people. And he does, because he does so much. He does so much. So yeah, I think, yeah, they gonna try to win it for Lamar, but they gonna try to win it for themselves, too. You got guys that's, I mean, you don't always get a chance like this. You don't always get an opportunity. Like Playoffs is, for some players in their careers, it's worked out what they've been to the Playoffs a lot of times. Other players, it's like, ooh, Playoffs came falling for you. Clay is Campbell, like who knows if this could be it for him. Justin Houston, this could be it for him. And it's other guys that are pending free agents, don't know where their careers headed. Some guys may be thinking about retirement right now. They may not have just come out with it or whatnot, but you gotta take every opportunity. So yeah, I think they all gonna try to do it for Lamar, but I think even more than that, they trying to do it for themselves. Next question came from Lamar. He said, man, that tweet from Legote was a breath of fresh air. Even though he isn't playing in quiet's down trade rumors for now, what do you think, my guy? I don't think that quiet's down trade rumors at all, like not one bit. I didn't get that from Lamar telling everybody about his injury that it quieted down trade rumors. I think the only thing that will quiet down trade rumors is if Lamar signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Next question came from my guy, Kevin. He said, are we over hyping Lamar? And Graven, happy new year. Thank you for the channel. I'm a new subscriber. Only found you a few weeks ago and you're my primary source for news about the Ravens. I appreciate it, Kevin. Thank you, man. Now, considering the league has shown that by containing the run in playing the beat us with your arm Lamar game, are we over hyping Lamar? Looking at the season, the stat of no passing touchdowns for 13 weeks points out a glaring weakness in Lamar's game, especially in clutch situations. Ooh, yeah, as far as the title question, are we over hyping Lamar? No, then as far as where you broke it down about the whole no passing touchdowns for 13 weeks. No, I wasn't at no passing touchdowns to a wide receiver. I think that's what it was. No passing touchdowns to a wide receiver, something like that. But you look at what Lamar and the Ravens have accomplished with what they have on offense. Look at how much they've won with what they've, or really actually what they haven't had on offense. That's a better way I should put it. Just a lot of lackluster talent there at skilled positions. I mean, there are really every position on, in football is a skilled position, because you gotta have skill to play those positions. But you look at how successful they've been. And then you look at other teams around the league. I know a lot of people like to point out, oh man, if we got a wide receiver, we could end up being like the Raiders or like the Cardinals or some other teams that have nice wide receivers, but they still haven't done good. Well, you get what I'm saying, a lot of people bring that up. So then you could flip that around and be like, well, look at what the Ravens have done and the successes they've had without those guys at that position. And it speaks volumes to Lamar Jackson. It speaks volumes. So that's why I just, I really been hoping that you can see him in a situation where he does have it. But again, not the conversation for another day. So no, we are not over hyping Lamar. Lamar will sign the non-exclusive franchise tag. Next question came from my guy, Maddy said, and Graven, thanks for the constant streaming Ravens content. Nah, I appreciate you watching it. He said, the only way the Ravens will find their way out of the Lamar Jackson contract situation unscathed is by tagging him with the non-exclusive tag this year, not next. If we exclusively tag Lamar, he may just sit and the Ravens end up in a Kirk Cousins 2.0 scenario after the tag. Here's why the Ravens will only put the non-exclusive tag on Lamar. This would let Lamar shop and find that guaranteed deal maybe, but Shadi doesn't want to do a Deshaun structured deal, but if another team office it, well, he would have to do the deal, I hope. He's not going to lose Lamar. But anyway, he said, optics shift away from the Ravens furthering the fully guaranteed contract shift for quarterbacks and instead shifts the focus to the team that forced our hand. Since two first round picks would also be due, Lamar may not get a guaranteed contract which may help EDC negotiate a more team-friendly deal. I see what you're saying, it's like if he's talking to another team, that puts depression on Steven and EDC in them, but I just, I don't think, I just don't think it's going to happen right now. We'll see though, but anyway, he said essentially this puts all the cards on the table. The only card still hidden would be how much Lamar could get as a free agent without two first round picks or any trade capital tied to him, which given his contract situation, Ravens would never let be shown. What do you think? I'm not hearing anyone talk about the strategy around the non-exclusive tag and how it could be leveraged in this unique situation. I love Lamar, I love the Ravens, everyone loves him. No, trust me, no they don't. And that's okay. He said, I love Lamar, I love the Ravens, everyone loves engraving. No, no. But again, like I said, well that's okay. I hope the two parties can come to a business agreement that works for both. So, hey, we'll see. I just don't see it going down though, but it's time, it's time so anything can turn around, right? Steve, next question came from my guy, Thomas said, I appreciate you and the kindness of your family. I appreciate that, thank you. The years before Steve began to be the main owner of the Ravens, the postal service used to buy hundreds of tickets and take Baltimore City School kids to the games. Once he took over, he was not interested in group tickets, but only season ticket holders to purchase extra seats. This showed me that he wasn't a team player, but I got mine, you have yours to get type of attitude. Ever since then, it's as you say, as long as I can make money, I'm good. This gives me the impression that Harbaugh is in on it and is also a puppet on a string too, as I say, and lay low for your under the table bonus. There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people when they won't even jump puddles for you. Hey, I mean, he's the owner. So that's what he's in it to do, make money. That's what owners are in it to do, make money. And I mean, yeah, Harbaugh being under him, like not even being a GM, Harbaugh is the owner, is the GM, then is the head coach. So yeah, Harbaugh just gonna run with whatever Steve said, cause that's the one that's cutting the check. Next question came from my guy Emerson. He said, I have a beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy in the event Lamar walks via free agency, or he ain't walking via free agency. You know that ain't happening. But he said, or if he is tagged and traded. Okay, there's another one. Although I hope Lamar is in the longterm plans, it seems increasingly unlikely. The Ravens will be set up with a strong run game and a strong defense regardless of what happens this off season, but what we'll be lacking if Lamar is gone is any sense of a pass game. First off, Greg Roman needs to be gone, but even in that case, receivers still aren't going to want to come to Baltimore. That is very true, that's very true. And I think that would be the case if Greg, obviously if Greg Roman stays, but even if Greg Roman leaves and they bring in another offensive coordinator, I still think if in order for Ravens to get a receiver, they would have to sort of overpay, so to speak. And simply because they will need to prove that their passing game can be real. And that's gonna take at least a year to do because you gotta show people on the outside a level of consistency. You gotta show them that okay, their offense just ain't the silly stuff no more. Okay, cool. But anyway, he said there is a solution for that, however. That being in bringing in a 46 year old quarterback who is said to be a free agent this off season, it sounds crazy, but the man has historically succeeded with a strong run game, a strong defense and an elite tight end. All of those things are given in Baltimore next year. Trade for Mike Evans or some elite guy in the event Lamar is traded, used those picks to beef up the secondary and then the old line. And the only flaw it seems is they drafted a center built for a mobile quarterback in a run for his offense. That being said, I don't think it's a deal breaker. If we can't keep it more long-term, at least get us a Superbowl before the inevitable years of mediocrity. Sorry for the long question, thank you. So he is talking about Tom Brady to the Ravens. That would be wild. That would be crazy. But if Tom Brady went to the Baltimore Ravens, then all the calls that the Ravens don't get right now, oh, they would get them all, all of them. They would get just as many primetime games, if not more, because if Brady to the right, that would be insane. Brady would, he would be like, he would be a quarterback, but also an assistant head coach. Cause you know, he would run the show. Like he would run the show, but it's like, that's crazy, man, that's crazy. Didn't Grant go probably want to come at our time and be like, okay, I'll play now. But that, yeah, I've never like even thought of anything like this before. This is a very unique question. On a lighter note, next question came from Griffin. He said, I know that there's a lot of things to be down on about us as of right now. Sending this before we lose to the Bengals, by the way. Hold up there, buddy! Who said we losing? But anyway, but how about we talk about something a little more lighthearted? Why don't we have red and black Ravens jersey? I mean, cause their colors are purple. I mean, that the practice, those practice jerseys, those black and purple practice jerseys. Ooh! But anyway, that would be awesome, especially because in a logo, there's a hint of red. Just a fun little thing to think about amongst all this chaos. As usual, stay safe and hashtag taking clean. I appreciate it, man. But yeah, before they even stepped to a red and black jersey, they need to drop those black and purple practice jerseys. Next question came from Kingston. He said, there's still a chance. I know everybody is talking about the Ravens having no chance to win against the Bengals, but I think there's still a chance, even without Lamar. I agree. I'm right there with you, man. But let's keep going. He said, here's my opinion. The Ravens defense played well against the Bengals. Joe Burrow threw 25 for 42, 215 yards and one touchdown. That is not the Joe Burrow we know. Now, of course, newly paid real qualifier has 16 tackles and four assists. I also saw Kyle Hamilton make some plays along with David Ajarbo having a strip sack. That's just the defense. The problem was the offense. His way it gets complicated. Of course, we had to start rookie Anthony Brown and Harvard side of the system starters, but there is still problems. We had four turnovers, four. And one of them resulted in a touchdown. You cut that touchdown, the story is different. I think it was five turnovers, right? He said, of course, Pro Bowl Tyler Hunley is gonna have the chance if Lamar doesn't play. I think Snoop played his best half versus Steelers in the first half, but the same problem lost us the game. Mistakes. Yeah, mistakes. Real quick, let me try to remember. Sammy Watkins, he had the fumble. Anthony Brown, he had the fumble. Anthony Brown, there was the pick, the really bad pick that he threw. There was also the pick that he threw. I mean, the Marcus Robinson dropped it. So that was four turnovers. I really thought there was another one. I feel like I'm missing one. Next question came from my guy, Brendan. He said, I ain't graven. Been watching for a while and always wanted to say something. I've heard around Twitter that Lamar has not been helping himself off the field. As he may go to physical therapy, but he is resisting Dias and keeping himself in good shape. So in my opinion, he will be franchise tag, but not exclusively. If a team would want to pick up his contract for two first round picks, they will trade him before the draft for players in picks. Love the flock. Let's go Ravens, love the channel and hope your fame is doing well. Appreciate that, Brendan. And yeah, I mean, if they, I don't know if that's true or not. That's all I can say. But yeah, if he did get traded, it would definitely be before the draft because Raven's not, they wouldn't trade him for only future picks for like two years down the road. No, they would trade him for picks right here right now. Next question came from my guy, BGMethod. He said, I ain't graven. This is the first time going in on a question from Subb. I got a few questions and comments. Not that you asked what I'm from B-more. I've been a Ravens fan since 98. I didn't immediately fall in love with him. I'm an active duty Army vet and the young football player from Merville High School and B-more that passed back in 2021 was my cousin. Oh, I'm sorry about that, man. I always appreciate Hollywood for repping him at the game. I also sent these questions to Ravens vault. I think Ro and Williams are new Wave, Lewis and Reed are great cornerstones going forward. Yeah, I agree, I agree. Cause they both, they both bring it. They both have their hiccups along the way, but nobody's going to play perfect every single week. He said, I do believe EDC is going to work on the wide receiver problem more diligently this off season. We'll see, we'll see how it goes. It's obvious to everyone that is going to hold us back if they don't. He's only going to go so far though. So I think it rules out the Andre Hopkins. I'm 85% sure that. So hey, we'll see what that 15% could do. We need a strong offensive coordinator that takes more advantage of Lamar Jackson's arm talent. If Lamar Jackson's arm talent is still here next year. So that's to be determined. He said, with all that said, here's my questions. A way in a job, oh, who has a better chance of becoming the sucks type of guy? Oh, man. Adafi Way started off strong last year, then this year just, I don't know what it's been. I know one of my guys was saying that he got like a, he got like a slow little get off from the line. He like, he got a slow take off. And that's like holding him back. And then the same guy said that a job makes it look easy. And I was like, well, he didn't even play that much, but he did his thing last game. So I don't know. I think it's too early to tell. Obviously, Adafi Way, he got to build up consistency. And David Ajabo got to just build up because he was only played in a game in a play, or a game in like four play. Cause I think he was on special teams that first game that he played, but he only played one defensive snap that first game. So I think, for me, it's too early to tell cause we don't even know. We don't know Adafi Way yet. I mean, Adafi Way kind of know, but hopefully in his third year to be like, oh, okay, there it goes, he's back. He said, I don't think it's too late for a way. There's flashes. Remember how long it took Paul Kruger and Adelias Thomas? Oh boy. Where do we get that wide receiver? Who are you looking at? Can we draft him with only five picks this year? I like Harrison Junior, but I don't think he's coming out. No, he not eligible yet. We would have to trade a bunch of assets to get in position for him, like Atlanta Deer for Julio. As far as wide receiver, I, in my opinion, what I think they should do, I think you should draft somebody who's NFL ready. The first round early second, I know they ain't got that many picks right now. They're going to get more picks. You know they already, Raven's going into a draft with five picks, never. They were never, they would something, but they ain't doing it this year. But I would say to draft a high receiver, draft the NFL ready receiver and also trade for somebody who's nice now to whether it be Deandre Hopkins. I know Mike Evans, Mike Evans will cost more than Deandre Hopkins to trade for. So if it's Deandre Hopkins, okay, cool. Mike Evans, oh, okay, cool. And I think somebody like Lazard, that wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd be like, okay. But so I would double down at the position. I know Rashad Bateman's supposed to come back. Devon Duvenay's supposed to come back, but I'm not going into this season being like, all right, Rashad Bateman and this other guy, the veteran, whoever we get, y'all are it. No, I'm loading up, man. I feel like they should have been loaded up, but I'm loading up for whoever the quarterback ends up being so heavy even more. He said, lastly, who could be the next offensive coordinator and why doesn't anyone seem to think T. Martin is a possibility? I heard a lot of people talk about T. Martin before, but I haven't heard as many people saying it recently. He said he didn't run a G-Dro type offense in college. He now has experience with those run concepts. Maybe he can merge it with some creative passing concepts to create a hybrid version. I really believe that's why they hired him. Harps doesn't like guys he doesn't know in coordinated positions. So you're right, he don't like guys he don't know in any positions for you. He knows T now. Let's unlock Lamar Jackson. We can hope that Lamar Jackson will be unlocked. We really can. I really hope so. But with this team, the way that they operate, the way that they think, the way that they move, I just don't see it ever happening. I don't, they would have to change a lot of stuff to really just get LJ potential reached. I just can't see it right now though. I can't, I would love so much to be wrong about that. But the way that they've operated, I just can't see it happening right now. He said, I appreciate your platform and I love how you carry it. Just like everyone else that gets long-winded in questions themselves, forgive me team, keep it clean. I hope you forward know in the vault get some more work together in. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to them, man. Glenn and James. Those my guys, man. I remember when I first met them, they had me on, but before they jumped into YouTube, they had me on their podcast. It's just audio podcast. It was in 2019, it was the, I wanna say the Thursday, or maybe the, yeah, I think it was a Tuesday or Thursday before the Ravens and Patriots game in 2019. I'll never forget because I think Glenn said that it was actually his nephew or little cousin that had put him onto our channel. And then, yeah, the rest been history. They've been on here plenty of times. We've been on there plenty of times. They, they, they cool people, man. And then with the vault, that's with Bobby B, Bobby Baltimore, Bobby T. He got so many different names though. So shout out to him. He been doing this thing over there. And then he with the vault with Sarah. Shout out to Sarah. Sarah, she like super cool, man. She, she, she, she's super cool. I gotta have her back on. I gotta actually have both of them back on. Really all four of them back on. But I remember when Sarah first came on, Sarah Ellison, I was a little nervous. I was a little nervous because I'm like, man, this is somebody who used to like work for the Ravens and she coming on my channel. Like, oh man, I, but she was super, super cool, man. And she, she's, she's really good. She comes in, she brings the stuff, she bring good energy. She, she, she's super cool. So shout out to Sarah Ellison, man. But anyway, he said, go Ravens, Morgan State stand up. Shout out to Elijah Gorham, my little cousin. Rest in peace. And just like the ugly mustard and go Ravens uniform pants, I'm out. Hey, I appreciate you a lot, man. Next question came from my guy Gavin. He said, ain't Raven, hope you and your family are doing well. I'm curious where your confidence level is with Lamar not likely to play on Sunday. If honey starts, I feel he can manage the game well enough to allow JK and Gus to have a big game. The defense will do their thing like we saw last week. So I think if the offense can put up 17 or 20 and not turn the ball over, they could hold the bingles and maybe squeak this one out. This one will be more on coaching than ever. Oh man. I thank you for that reminder. Cause it will be because when, when you're back, I mean, excuse me, when your star quarterback is out, there's a lot more pressure that gets put on you as a coaching staff. So you, you got to be like better than perfect in order in this playoffs now, no more regular season. I do think the Ravens, they seriously have a chance, but yeah, they got to outplay their scheme. They, it's so important like that Greg Roman and the offense, the game, he calls a game out of his mind. It has to be like out of his mind type of great. Like there ain't no room for the silly stuff. It's really not no room for the silly stuff. And that's on Hobbs, Greg Roman, Mike McDonald, everybody. The players as well too. They got to help each other out. Coaching got to help the players out. Players got to help the coaching out. Players got to help each other out. Coaches got to help each other out. They got to help each other out. And really have each other's back. Cause if they don't, then they gonna be on their backs, chilling on the couch, soon relax. Next question came from my guy Brandon G. He said, hope all is well with you and the family. My questions are as follows. Number one, what is your take if Lamar sits out Sunday night? Well, he said that he's hurt. So there's that. But number two, he said, do you believe the knee injury is to the extent that wouldn't allow him to play? Oh man, yeah, he sent this before, he sent this on January 11th. So it was the day before Lamar sent out the tweet that he sent out today. And then number three, he said, do you think Lamar is using this injury to sit out so he can ensure the contract he wants and deserves? Now that part, now would he play if he had a contract? If the knee injury is as bad as it seems, I don't think so, I don't think so. Cause I mean, yeah, obviously with a contract, things are different. But then you still gotta think long term. Cause like if you injured and you injured like that, then you could not only mess up stuff for right here, but you can mess up stuff for down the road too. And then he said, number four, if the worst case scenario occurs and he does demand a trade, who would you prefer takes over? Sorry for all the questions. I'm sure a lot of Ravens fans pondering these questions as well. Appreciate the content and keep it off of the exceptional work. I appreciate you, Brandon. Who would I prefer take over? I wouldn't even know, man, because I like, it would be so weird. Like Raven's life without Lamar. It would be very weird, especially for how it's been over these past five years. I wouldn't want, I love Tyler Huntley. I wouldn't want it to be him though. Anthony Brown, I wouldn't want it to be him either. But I just, I don't know who would be out there. There's, I mean, possible quarterbacks that are out there. No, my God mentioned earlier, Tom Brady. There's, and Rodgers could be a possibility there's Derek Carr. He could possibly be out there. And there's, of course, the draft too. And I'm sure I'm probably forgetting some people too, but I just can't even answer that right now because I just really don't know. Next question came from T-Dubb. He said, Super Bowl one in 2013. This is my first time shooting your question. I hope you and the family are happy, happy, healthy, and doing awesome. Hey, we all, I appreciate it. He says, so I heard on the lounge podcast that the Ravens fired their offensive coordinator after losing very bad before going into the playoffs. This sounds exactly what the brass should do. We need some kind of change to put a spark in the player's morale. Now, he didn't, I mean, after the Broncos game, I said, if they don't fire Greg Roman after the Broncos game, then he ain't getting fired. And he didn't. Now, he sent this question on January 7th. Now, because he asked, do you think if we lose to the Bengals, then Greg Roman could be fired? No, I wouldn't have thought that. Because again, the Broncos game, once they didn't fire him after the Broncos game, after that, then he was safe for the rest of the year. Said, I love Team Cuban Clean. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the channel. I bleed purple and I'm always a Raven fan for life. Honestly, I think Ravens fans are one of the most passionate dedicated fans in the NFL. Oh yeah, Ravens fans, they certainly a lot of fun, man. I appreciate you. Next question came from my god, Jarvis. He said, great job resigning Roquon for the next five years. So next up is LJ. Really hope he gets up to dumb because it'll definitely set the franchise back if we don't. A few questions for you though. Can a player refuse the franchise tag? For example, Lamar Jackson, and if we do resign him, who's a realistic wide receiver, you think we can get to help this offense? No more wide receivers who've been on the couch. I personally wouldn't mind getting DK. DK Metcalf? I mean, he ain't going nowhere, but yeah, I wouldn't mind DK Metcalf either. But I think, the ones we mentioned earlier, Deandre Hopkins, I think that is a realistic option especially since the card, it's already put out there publicly that the Cardinals are either gonna trade him or it's put out there publicly that they trying to release him. I mean, they trying to get rid of him, excuse me. So he'll either get traded or he'll get released and he can pick wherever he wants to go. Raven's best bet is if they could trade for him. That's their best bet. Because if he becomes a free agent, there are plenty of teams that's gonna pay more money than you. So your best bet is to trade for him if you really want him. So we'll see how that goes. Now, as far as the franchise tag part, can a player refuse the franchise tag? Yeah, they can. They can refuse to sign it and then they could wait, just wait it out, wait it out. And either the team could be like, no, we're not budging and the player could come back. I think they will need to have at least, I wanna say, how many games is it? I think they will need to have at least like seven or eight games that they were active in a year to have an accrued season for the season that they're into count on their contract and toward their overall years played in NFL. Because if they set out the whole year, then the season just wouldn't count to the amount of years that they would have played in the NFL. Therefore, it wouldn't count towards a contract. Therefore, if they set out the whole year, they will be in the same exact position the following year that they were in this year. So nothing would change. So yeah, a player can refuse to franchise tag. Long story short. Next question came from my guy, DeAndre. He said, I ain't graven, hope all is well. My question for you is that since the Browns, Texans and Cardinals have made moves now that their season is over regarding coaching and coordinators, does that give you hope that whenever we finish, hopefully with a Super Bowl this year, hey hopefully, does that give you hope that we will definitely be making our own moves as far as the Ravens staff that so desperately needs to be focused on? That's a really good question. For Ravens not really, I could see them. The most thing I see, Mike McDonald ain't going nowhere, Harbaugh ain't going nowhere. Biggest change I could see happening is Greg Roman. But I just don't feel like much would change even if Greg Roman, his contract ran out and they were like, okay, we decided to mutually part ways, do-do-do, wish them well in the future, endeavors, do-do-do, whatever. I just, I don't think much would change as long as Ravens still had the same mindset. Now last question on this episode came from my guy, Howard. He said, what's happening in Raven? I know it's playoff time and I'm ready, but I've been thinking lately about the situation of play-calling and many of the things that be making us fans shake our head with this Ravens offense and it hit me. Greg Roman basically told us how he operates and coordinates in his very first press conference when he was introduced as offensive coordinator. A reporter asked him his play-calling style and he said, I don't like to leave breadcrumbs behind. At that time, I don't believe the media and us fans really got that analogy to his truest form. I'm about to explain it so it makes sense. What he meant was when he calls certain players that works, don't expect to see them again. Basically the approach is trying very hard to outsmart the opposition, but in reality he's outspotting and outcoaching himself with that approach and it be costing us. And Graven, I've been rocking with this channel for the last couple of seasons and it's been plenty of times on your videos when you said the Ravens do incredible things in one game and then we just don't see it anymore. That's the reason. And I've said in the comment section as well as questions from subscribers at Hardball, Roman and Wink were too stubborn to change. They fired Wink, but that was only a third of the problem when it pertains to the coaching situation. Two thirds of the problem are still here. Hardball and Roman. I can get much deeper on this topic, but I wrote enough in his email that Team Keep It Clean understands where I'm coming from, your thoughts. Oh yeah, they, you said it, outsmarting themselves. Outsmarting themselves is just a perfect explanation for it and then just really overthinking things and overcomplicating a lot of stuff too. And this feels like a dream. And you know just what I mean. You two team keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated. Well, that's my homie, ain't that right in Raven? Right in Raven. Right in Raven. Shout out to Raven. Right in Raven. Right in Raven. Right in Raven.

Flaxseed pack a nutritional punch, and as a bonus, the release of cyanide from flaxseed is below a toxic lethal dose. Well, I should hope so. Back in the envelope type calculations has led industry-funded scientists to assert that a person would have to consume eight cups of ground flaxseeds at a time to achieve acute cyanide toxicity. I'd feel better, though, if it was actually put to the test. Those tested flaxseeds under worst-case scenario conditions, with respect to resulting in higher cyanide levels in the blood. So, one, locate the flaxseed with the highest level of cyanide-forming compounds you can find. So they went to stores, about 15 different sources of flaxseed, and though the average level was 140 milligrams per kilo, which is about typical, they did find one with 220. So they used that one. Two, maximal mechanical destruction to release the most cyanide. So they used some crazy 20,000 rpm lab grinder. Three, eat it all at once on an empty stomach, and then keep the stomach empty. And they gave it raw, since cooking can often wipe it all out. If the recommended daily dose is like one or two tablespoons of ground flaxseed a day, I recommend one in my daily dozen checklist. They decided to go with four and a half tablespoons. OK, so what happened? There range of cyanide blood levels that one might estimate to possibly be associated with the clinical symptoms of intoxication would be like 20 to 40. So that would be like here or higher, where we want to stay below. So four and a half tablespoons on an empty stomach of the highest cyanide-containing ultra-ground flaxseed they could find, and the highest individual level rise was just under 14 and the average was down around 6. There has to be some amount of flaxseed that takes you over the limit though, so they tested 9 tablespoons and 15 tablespoons too. Remember, we start to worry at around 20 to 40. Three and a half teaspoons of raw, high cyanide-ground flaxseed on an empty stomach hardly a blip. Seven teaspoons at a time? Same thing. Fourteen teaspoons, which is four and a half tablespoons, and there's that six. OK, but what about a little over nine tablespoons? That's over a half cup at a time, and that does start skirting toxicity. And finally, what about a whole cup? I don't even know how you'd eat a whole cup at once, but that is too much, putting you in that potential toxic range for about three hours. So much for the industry's eight cups at a time are safe, but even in this worst case scenario situation, one cup raw on an empty stomach at the highest dose they could find, that person still didn't actually have any clinical symptoms. This is consistent with the fact that there's not a single published report of cyanide poisoning after consumption of flaxseeds anywhere in the literature, even from Swedish health spas, where they evidently give up to 12 tablespoons as a fiber shock. Usually, high doses are like two or so tablespoons three times a day, and this dose would be safe with respect to possible acute toxicity of cyanide. OK, but what about any possible chronic toxicity? The World Health Organization has something called a PMTDI, the Provisional Maximum Torreble Daily Intake. It's defined as the amount you can eat safely every day for the rest of your life, without risking any adverse health effects, based on the best available data, though often that's just like rat studies, as it was in this case. If you put varying doses of cyanide in the drinking water of rats for a few months at a certain level, the so-called benchmark dose lower confidence limit, there's a 10% increase in the incidence of the shrinkage of the tail of the epididymis, which is where sperm is stored in the testicle. That happens at the human equivalent of about 150 tablespoons of flaxseeds a day worth of cyanide, but they want to err on the side of caution, so they introduce a 100-fold uncertainty factor to create the PMTDI. So instead of 150 tablespoons of flaxseeds a day, the average American should stick to under 1.5 tablespoons a day if you're going to eat them every day. So my tablespoon a day daily dozen recommendations should be saved by any of these standards.

I'm Ryan Baxter, a professor for the Penn State course in environmental applications of GIS. If you're interested in the natural world and how people interact with it and how we might use GIS to study it, then I really recommend you take this class. I imagine that the word environmental means different things to different people, so we'll have discussions about what exactly environmental GIS is and work through exercises that approach the environment from a variety of angles. For example, sewage treatment plants produce a great deal of solid waste and it has to go somewhere. So we'll use GIS to create a map of groundwater vulnerability so the waste can be disposed in areas where it won't impact sources of drinking water. Or maybe we know that a certain species of bird prefers habitat only along the edges of forests. We can use GIS to measure the amount of forest edge that's created or lost during deforestation to identify critical areas. So there are a lot of ways GIS can be used to help us interact with the world in an informed way. So in these and other topics we'll discuss the kinds of data we need, where to get it, and the GIS tools that are best suited to help us answer these questions. This course is a lot of fun and will challenge you to deploy GIS in ways that perhaps you hadn't before. After taking it, you'll be well equipped to develop databases and GIS workflows in your own application areas and also help you think about how best to communicate your results to what is very likely a diverse and complex group of stakeholders. I really look forward to seeing you in class.

North Dakota breeding programs are very important for the state. A lot of material is tested on an annual basis. Breeders are now trying to utilize technology like remote sensing, robots and drones in order to speed up the breeding program. We have this project, it's kind of an internal project within NDSU. We have all this effort known as Precision Act, right, within NDSU. There was a group of breeders that got together and some of us have been doing this for a little bit. Some others are still kind of in initial steps. But the idea is how we can use Precision Act to make us more efficient. So in terms of potato production and potato research, the interest in the utilization of drones or other new technologies such as robots in assessing traits has kind of come to the forefront of interest. As you know, a breeder has to evaluate thousands of plots. So how we can use this new technology, let's say drones, robo-carts, anything that makes possible to measure thousands of traits and thousands of lines that we have in the field and measure each one of those traits in a very accurate and fast manner rather than just going with a fieldbook and counting, counting or taking scores. Hopefully just one fly or two flights with the drones or with two passes with the robo-carts would allow us to measure some of those traits very easily, right? Much more easier than what we're doing normally. In our potato breeding project the last couple of years, we have worked with Dr. Palo Flores on utilizing both drones as well as a small earth-sense robot in our screening efforts for herbicide tolerance specifically to the potato herbicide metribuzin. A couple of examples I can give you. This plant, for example, right now in the leaves, it's dealing with an issue called common bacterial blood. This is a bacterial disease and we usually come and take a score, a visual score, plot by plot. What if we had a drone that could fly around this field and have a reading for each one of those things automatically? And the traits that we are targeting today is the common bacteria blight and all of these plots here, they have been screened for this trait visually. Perhaps utilizing a drone or utilizing a robot, we would be able to determine stand and stem counts for a potato that's very important in determining yield potential. Having the ability to do some under-canopy plant temperatures when we're considering potato diseases such as verticillium wilt, we may be able to identify specific selections or named cultivars that have a cooler under-canopy temperature. What if we had a robo-cart that was driving through here and counting pots and kind of using that information as a proxy for yield potential for this specific variety versus this one and this one, right? We can start making comparisons. Different maturity rates. As you can see in this field, we have some lines that are still green, some others are drying down, some others are almost ready to harvest. What if we can estimate those differences in maturity just using better technology and still being accurate? Findings of this research also will have implications for large-scale farming. We can think of remote sensing as another tool to predict yield, stand but also to make management decisions regarding diseases in the field. However, a lot of work has to go into developing the algorithms and many research plots with small combines to get an appropriate yield will be needed to get to the final product of prediction tools for farming community in North Dakota.

And you're with Jacob and Tommy as well Tim, so what are we looking at today him good to talk to you man Yeah, good to talk to you. Oh, you got all three of us on huh? That's right So All right, actually we can start on chart one if you want Yeah, absolutely. Let's get over to that right now or All right, so we're looking at the SPX on the chart one Yeah, chart one actually the first thing what is discussed We were up five months in a row going into July, which is a second window up from the bottom and This is kind of a momentum study. It's Go back and do a specific Nutshell when you're five minutes a row in a row. That's never the final high There's leaf at a minimum one more new high if not multiple new highs So it's a momentum type I forgot what you call it Anyhow, it's a momentum study the last thing we did this was back in 2020 you're about five months in a row. I got circled in blue on the volume chart Went down two months, then you start making higher highs. We've got a kind of similar thing here going So ultimately we're going to hit a new high if we're going to just hit one month's new high or multiple new highs It's unknown, but I think that the pattern that is forming here Is the head and shoulders bottom? We're currently Messing around on the right shoulder right now when we have sport on the SPX round of 4200 which is basically the previous highs of that Solation that started in April of 2022 and went on to You know April May of 2023 so we're sitting on top of that Sports zone right now and a lot of times on head and shoulders patterns. There's a lot of Similarities or rhymes and others that the left shoulder should rhyme with the right shoulder in other words the price highs and price lows You'd be about the same and the number of the time sequence of the left shoulder should proximate to the time sequence of the right Shoulder when we're probably about done with this So on a bigger timeframe, I think we're setting that sport and the right shoulder is forming here and so Ultimately we're going to hit a new high At some point in the next I think probably this month, but we'll wait and see but flip to a chart to All right, we got it up the VIX Yeah, it's a VIX and I showed this chart last week with with Tom I talked about a little bit about it and It's it's actually it measures the momentum of the VIX So the faster the VIX goes up the warm panic is because you know VIX is called a fear gauge And so when fear is around VIX rises and so I looked at a different way Look at the acceleration of the VIX how fast fear rises and the faster fear rises is kind of like the exit door the faster it goes To people trying to get out of the exit The more Closer to I guess the bottom you might see So anyhow, I got kind of a momentum indicators on the VIX of the bottom windows the RSI next one up from the bottom is the Two-period rate of change as the ROC and the next one up is a percent B, which is basically when you're at one you're hitting the upper Bollinger band when you're at zero You're hitting a lower Bollinger band when it's at 50 you're at the mid Bollinger band and to really Find out how this indicator works You need two of the three or preferably all three of them to hit in bullish Regions well last week we had in to the region so the markets kind of a little bit lower But it did pick up that low last week now we're doing back down to a retest But I still think we'll probably have some sore important low here because red sport Which is previous highs around that on the SPY is around the 4200 and we had a decent You know it kind of acceleration in the VIX so I think some sort of a low is being formed here I'm probably going pretty fast here, but we can And you kind of see where that support lies and they the The second window up from the bottom is a 10-day average of the trend I know he said that greens around 1.2 are usually where that's where panic forms On a trend anything at 1.2 or higher But if you get a 10-day you basically got two weeks of panic and that's usually good enough to form a worthwhile low The previous times I marked it with that pink areas every time the 10-day trend got to 1.2 or higher And you know the album came at near lows here So we got the makings of a bottom in this vicinity and I said once before I thought we may not reach 120 or 20 or 40 or 420 or 4200 on the SPX 420 on the SPYs And I didn't because we had quite a bit of panic at a little bit higher level but we did get down to 420 we're sitting in that region right now and So we did get to 1.2 on the 10-day trend or actually 1.19 I think that's close enough the blue lines going across the chart are showing times when the RS eye of the SPX have reached the blow 30 as of today, and now we're at 29.21 So we got an RS eye on the SPYs along with the 10-day trend around 1.2. So we're in an important area RET support Actually a little bit spry today was a down day But a lot of times the market will do just something one more day down to kind of knock you out But in my opinion We're making a low in this vicinity I thought September could be an up month I think this is just an ABC down if you look at the high of August down to the current low in my opinion we're probably just doing an ABC down and We got panic in the VIX we got a little panic in the trend And we're near support could it go a little bit below sport use it sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't but We've got quite a few things popping up here. I think ultimately we're gonna hit a new high because of the The momentum indicator on chart one five months up in a row predict the market will be at least one more new high So I'm not really afraid of the downtrend here starting them trying to figure out exactly what day is the low so We'll have to wait and see you have some questions or anything Tim I take can I jump in Jay? I was just just just thinking about it as you're talking about it, Tim We've been talking about yields a lot. Do you look at yields? Do you have an expectation? Are we gonna see a little bit of a reversal on those yields potentially if that's the market action? Or is that just a separate issue or how do you do you look at those numbers? If we can hang during the break, we have an indicator on that and I see wheels been going up I see I hear your phone or I hear your music so we can yeah, we can wait until we get back from the break That'd be great. Wonderful. All right folks. Stay tuned. We'll be right back with Tommy O'Brien and Tim or Welcome back folks. We are with Tim Ward Tim. Are you still there? Yeah, I'm still here And Tommy you had a question for Tim before we went to the break so Tim you were just talking about yields I'm just you know, of course like most people. I'm sure yields are driving some of this action And and was wondering what you think about yields If this might be a little bit of an area that we get the market to trade topside and what you're looking for if anything from yields Yeah Actually, I just sent over a chart SPX tilt TILT or TLT Did you have a chance to I just sent it over an email to Tommy you and Jacob take a look right now. Okay. I'm taking a look at it. I don't have it yet, but I will take a look at it Maybe you haven't taken her. Maybe it's coming Yeah, I got it right here. Give me a second See if I can pull it up in here. Yeah, and I I have it as well Oh Here I can just blow it up within I've got it up to you know, I can yeah, I have it as you got Jacob Yep, okay, perfect. We got it up. Go for it Tim. All right, anyhow, it's The bottom windows 20 year treasury, which is a TLT next next one up just the daily SPX Then I did a SPX tilt ratio trying to figure out, you know, if it's You know, if there's any news or any information that is worthwhile What I found out was in general when the RS eye was the top window of that ratio SPX TLT ratio it gets up around 70 or higher usually you got a little short term high and Currently, I just sent this over at I Can't quite it looks like about 56 57 So it's not really saying a whole lot far as this ratio goes But when it gets down RS I get down below 30 a lot of times you're setting that a low which are the Red times and the blue arrows are when the RS eyes up around 70 that's usually a high So it kind of picked up the high in August there and actually had a little high in June that nothing real significant And you had some highs back in February and stuff, but right now it's kind of in limbo. It's not saying a whole lot Even though it tilts been going down here It's not if it hasn't reached any extremes that suggests it's going to produce anything in the market Far as a reversal either up or down. So I'm kind of reading that so we need to really get above 70 plus to really suggest that market high may occur, but Not a lot of information, you know, if you look at it in general, you know, the This ratio SPX tilt ratio kind of trends with the market. I mean even though you know it get a it started rallying basically March and Now the SP's been correcting since August and this ratio has kind of still been going higher I don't know if that could mean an earman term bullish sign, but in general, you know I really didn't really say a whole lot. So I'll put it that way not enough information for me to make a judgment on it so but We appreciate it Say you're tough when I appreciate it. It's a everyone's interested where they're going And and maybe the market just marches higher without a huge adjustment on yields. We'll see yeah I don't know yet, you know, it hasn't seems like this this ratio SPX when it reaches extreme Either up or down goes up down too fast or Goes up too fast or down too fast. That's when you see reversals of some sort happen in the SPX and so far It hasn't really said anything. So it may be well face up to here in the next couple of days Don't know but as of today is not saying much So Let's look to chart for I Have it right here All right, the chart for have been showing this thing for the last couple of weeks This is a long-term chart of the as a weekly bullish percent index slash gdx ratio and every time this ratio got below Minus or 20 less than 25 You're setting that a minute term low and I circled the times when the market actually Was setting that a low but more or less flip sideways and if you look on the gd gdx chart Which is basically the middle chart is the weekly gdx chart We flip this ratio Gave a bullish signal back in the mid 2015 and it flipped sideways for several months before the rally began We had another signal in late 2021 circled in red and it flipped sideways for several months before the rally began The last signal Or that we had another signal in mid 2022 they went down a little bit over the next few months or the next few weeks before the rally began and This signal is generated in August 28th of 2000 cup or September 1st about a month a month and a half ago And it's still gone down some So Is this signal failing or is this kind of a normal procedure sometimes reverses right on the money Sometimes it flips sideways to down a little bit before the rally begins Let's flip to chart number five to see actually where we are so this this chart gave a August or actually September 1st. It gave a bicycle This chart looks at the short-term picture of what gdx is doing and On the bottom window is the up-down volume With an 18-day average and it's up down volume for gdx next window higher is advanced decline For gdx with an 18-day average and the blue areas are times when both those indicators are above minus 10 And the pink areas are times when both those indicators are below minus 10 And so we've kind of been flipping You know blue and pink over here over actually over the since pretty much all year It's gone up it's gone down it's gone up it's gone down and we're basically all the way back to may Of uh or march up this this year And we're kind of testing that area. We're actually a little bit below it And if you look uh at where our when I did this chart earlier today Now the minus 10 on both indicators It's kind of the key area if you're above minus 10 It means the the uptrend is started in gdx when it's below minus 10 Then a decline has started in gdx and as of The time I sent this chart over the bottom window is uh or the bottom indicators at point Or as minus eight the next indicator up is a minus nine and a half So we're basically at minus 10 on both. I'm just actually a hair above it So if that holds that level And needs to hold that level to stay above minus 10 to say the rally is starting So well, you know Tom and I have been talking about i'm thinking you know the rally is starting here in september It well went up and went back down again But ultimately because of uh chart four if you go back to chart four At some point we're going to start a rally it's going to stick According to that chart four route or to chart four Which is that uh weekly boys percent index slash gdx ratio because the rsi is below minus 25 So is this the one that starts and keeps going or will Turn blue for a little short while and turn back to pink again. I don't know It could it couldn't but if you notice We're also making higher lows on both those indicators where gdx is making lower lows I pointed out those times in the past when that has happened So we have a positive divergence here So I hear your music so yeah tim thank you so much. I mean fascinating as always and it's always great to have any on folks If you want to get in contact with tim or see what he's about he is at the ord hyphen oracle dot com That is ord hyphen oracle dot com com tim thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me on Absolutely. See you next time tim Folks stay tuned. We'll be right back

Say we have a circular wire of radius r carrying a current i. Our goal of this video is to figure out the strength of the magnetic field somewhere on the axis at a distance x from the center. So how do we begin? Where do we start? We can start by something that we've already seen before. We know the relationship between current and magnetic field, given by Bayer-Severts law. It says that if you have a tiny piece of wire of length dL, which carries the current i, and if you want to calculate magnetic field at some distance r, making an angle theta, then that magnetic field is given by dB, that is a very small magnetic field because it's a very small wire, equals some constant times the current times dL, that's the length of the current elements times sin theta, where sin of this angle divided by r square. And we've seen before that this is very similar to, not exactly same, but pretty similar to Coulomb's law, which tells you the strength of the electric field due to a charge. This one tells you the strength of the magnetic field due to a current carrying small element. So what we could do now is we can divide this entire loop into tiny tiny pieces, calculate the magnetic field at this point due to each piece and then integrate over the entire wire. So that's the strategy that we're going to use. Alright, so to begin with, let's take a tiny piece of wire and just focus on that. And because this is in three dimensions, it'll be easier if I take a piece over here so we can see everything. So let me take a piece here and just focus on that. So imagine this is our tiny current carrying wire and I want to now calculate the magnetic field at this point only due to this piece, only due to this piece. We'll have to first draw a line connecting from here to here. That will be my R, so let me go ahead and do that. So here's our R. Alright, so if I substitute over here, what will I get? Well, the constant says the same. The current is I, that's not going to change. Length of that current element, length of this piece, let's call that DL, it's a very tiny piece. Okay, the two things we need to know is what is the value of R? I need to know what R is and I also need to know what theta is. Let's start with R. Can you tell me what the value of R is just by looking at this diagram? I'm pretty sure you can. Here's a right angle triangle. So Pythagoras' theorem tells me R squared should equal capital R squared plus X squared. So that thing we got right away. So I know this is going to be R squared plus X squared. So we got that. Okay. The next thing we need to know is what is sine theta. And this is the part that always confused me. So I really want to spend some time over here. Theta is the angle between the DL vector, which is the same direction as I. So you can just say angle between the current direction and the R direction. In our case, R is over here. As you can see, what direction is the current? Well, because the current is flowing this way, at this point, the current is directed out of the screen. Hopefully you can see that. So, can you think about what that angle theta is going to be in this particular diagram, where that angle theta is? And then, can you think about what the value of sine theta is going to be? At this point, I encourage you to click the link here and come to our website where you get to interact with this derivation. I can guide you, but you will do the derivation yourself. Best way to learn. But of course, if you're pressed for time, then you can just pause the video over here. Give this a shot before we continue. All right. If you're given this a shot, let's see. Because the current I is out of the screen and this R vector is in the screen, the angle between them has to be 90 degrees. Now, because this is hard to see, I have a demo for you. So let's say this cellotape represents our current carrying wire and this pen top represents the current flowing out of the screen and this is our R vector. From this angle, we can't really see the angle between these two. And therefore, I will turn this a little bit. So if I turn, then things become a little bit more clear. Now, look at this. What is the angle between the blue top and this R vector? What is that angle? Hopefully, you can see that angle is 90 degrees. Now, I hope you can appreciate that it really doesn't matter what the value of X is. Meaning it doesn't matter where on this axis I'm calculating the magnetic field. Even if I was calculating somewhere very close, the angle would still stay 90 degrees. Even if I was calculating somewhere very far, the angle would still remain 90 degrees. And again, let me show you this. As you can see, even if I turn the pen, the angle stays 90 degrees because I'm still calculating on the axis. If I calculate off axis, that angle will change. And again, from the front view, that basically means it doesn't matter where I'm calculating on the axis, the angle stays 90 degrees. So long story short, what we are seeing, the thing that always confused me and hopefully that's a little bit clear now is that that angle theta between the R vector and I, that's going to be 90 degrees. And so if I put this all together, the magnetic field at this point, just due to this current element, is going to be, let's see, mu naught over 4 pi times I dL. Sine 90 is just 1, so I will not write that, divided by R squared plus X squared. The question is, what's the next step? Well, this is the magnetic field due to a tiny piece of wire. Now, if I want to calculate the magnetic field due to the entire coil, then I have to calculate, I have to integrate this over the entire wire. Now, here's my first attempt at calculating the integral, okay? It doesn't matter where I consider that dL. I hope you'll agree that the value of the magnetic field stays the same. Because, notice, mu naught by 4 pi is a constant wherever you go. I is a constant. dL is the length of that current element. I'm going to say same current element everywhere. And this R squared and X squared will remain the same. It doesn't matter where I go. So, because this value is going to stay the same, doesn't matter which current element I take, I now say that the integral is going to be super, super easy for me. I don't really have to integrate that means. So, if I take the integral, if I take the integral, then hopefully you see that all these things are constants, that they come out of the integral. And so, the only thing I'll effectively be integrating is just this. Just this. And so, what I will end up with now is mu naught by 4 pi times I times integral of dL. What's integral of dL? Well, if you look mathematically, you will say L. But what is that L? L is the length of that wire. And the length of that wire is the circumference of this circle. And that is 2 pi R. So, I know that. That is 2 pi R divided by R squared plus X squared. And I'm done. Right? No, I'm not done. There's something I haven't taken care of and I want you again to think a little bit about why this approach is wrong. What haven't I taken care of? Pause the video and give this a try. Hopefully you've given this a try. The thing that we didn't take into account is the direction of the magnetic field. Remember, magnetic field is a vector quantity. So, we know that the magnitude of the magnetic field due to each of the tiny section is exactly the same. But do we know for sure the direction is also going to be the same? Only then we can add them up. If the direction is not going to be the same then we need to take care of that. So, let's now focus on the direction of the magnetic field and how do we get that? By your server's law, what do we call that? It tells us that the direction of the magnetic field is given by crossing dL and r. So, dL has the same direction as the current and r direction is given over here. So, in this particular example, if you were to cross dL and r the way you would do that is you would start with your right hand making sure that your four fingers are initially facing in the direction of the dL vector. And then as you cross towards the r fold your four fingers in the direction in which you are crossing. So, if you do that you get this and now the thumb represents the direction of the magnetic field. So, over here the thumb is pointing into the screen which means in this particular example the magnetic field would be pointing into the screen. So, now I want you again, it's time for you to pause the video again and think about what the magnetic field at this point would be just due to this current element. Let me go back to that. So, take your right hand and cross it in the direction from i or the dL vector to r over here and see which direction the thumb is pointing. And just one thing to keep in mind is that when you do a cross product the product will always be perpendicular to both the vectors. So, in this case notice that dB will be perpendicular to both dL or i and r. And so the dB is into the board and therefore they are perpendicular to both. So, that's one thing to keep in mind. Whatever answer you're going to get needs to be perpendicular to both the current and the r vector. Alright, give this a shot and see what direction you end up with. Alright, if you're giving this a shot we'll start with our right hand such that the four fingers are pointing in this direction and so the way we'll keep it is this way. And when you cross from dL to r we get this. So, notice the thumb is pointing in this direction and therefore the magnetic field at this point will be this way. And notice that magnetic field is perpendicular to r vector. It's also perpendicular to i vector or dL vector. i is not a vector, dL vector but the direction of the current. And that is because current is coming out of the screen so it will always be perpendicular to this. Now, think about this. Do you think the magnetic field due to every single current element will be in this direction? Highly unlikely. In fact, if you were to take, let's say, the magnetic field due to a tiny piece over here the current over here points inwards. And so if you were to use your right hand rule now you will find that the magnetic field is not in this direction. In fact, is in this direction. Again, you can go ahead and give this a try yourself. And so, in fact, now, if you were to calculate the direction of the magnetic field due to every single piece on that current element you would now find that all these magnetic field vectors will be in this direction, sort of forming a cone. So they will have the same magnitude that we have found out already but they will have different directions. And that's why we couldn't directly add them. So now comes the question what do I do? I need to do a vector addition. That sounds complicated but here's the way I like to think about it. Imagine these were force vectors. Imagine, you know, something was being pulled in all direction this way with the same magnitude of force. Tell me what would be the resulting direction. Think about it. All of them are being pulled in all the direction. What would be the resulting direction? Well, the resulting direction cannot be inclined towards any one side. It cannot be towards the right or it cannot be towards the left. It cannot be towards the front or back because everything is symmetric. So the only direction it can go is along the axis. Interesting, isn't it? Another way to say the same thing is we could say if we take h and every vector and let's say decompose it into two components one along the axis and one along perpendicular to the axis then along the axis all of them add up. But if you look at the vectors perpendicular to axis the components perpendicular to the axis then you would see these are all the components perpendicular to the axis. They will all cancel out. They will all kill each other. So the only component that really matters that contributes to the total magnetic field is the actual component. And so all I need to do is figure out what's the component of our magnetic field along the axis of our coil and then once I calculate that then I can integrate that because I know they are all adding up. Does that make sense? Alright, so how do I do that? How do I figure out what's the component along the axis? Well, you might already recall. Again, this is your vectors. So you may recall to calculate the component along the axis I can use trigonometry. So if this let's say is the component along the axis let me call that db axis then if this angle is say alpha I already used theta then notice from trigonometry we can say this vector is db times cos alpha. Can you see that? I'm pretty sure you can do that. If you take cos you will get adjacent side and divide by the hypotenuse and so the db axis the component of the magnetic field along the axis is going to be this. Let me just copy paste that over here. db times times cos alpha cos alpha and so the last thing I need to do before I integrate this is find the value of cos alpha and again I want you to give this a shot. This is the last thing I would want you to try and again you might say how do I know the value of cos alpha. Well look carefully this is like a geometry problem now. Physics is already done. We are now into mathematics. Can you somehow use geometry to see what alpha would be in this particular triangle and maybe then by using this triangle you can figure out what cos alpha would be. So again I want you to give this a shot before going ahead. Alright if you have given this a shot let's see. We know that this total angle is 180 degrees 90 gone so this plus this should be 90 or this should be 90 minus alpha. And again in this triangle since this is 90 that means this should be alpha. Did you get that? And now from here I can calculate what cos alpha is. Cos alpha is going to be adjacent side r divided by small r. So if I just copy and paste this down. Cos alpha is going to be capital r divided by small r but I know the value of small r. Small r is the square root of r square plus x square. It's the hypotenuse. And so now I'm pretty much done. I know now that due to each and every single element the magnitude of the magnetic field is going to be along the axis is going to be this number. And so now I can go ahead and integrate this. And so if I integrate this just like before everything is going to be a constant. The only thing to integrate will be dl. So again since there is no space I'm just going to integrate it. Show that integration over here itself. So the total magnetic field along the axis is just the integral of this. And if the integral of dl is just like before we said the total length which is going to be 2 pi r. And of course you can finally simplify it even further. But I'm just going to leave it as it is. We don't have space or time. And the direction of the magnetic field will be along the axis. And again if you want to remember what direction that is. Then you can again use your right hand thumb rule. Make sure that your four fingers are giving the direction of the current. Then the thumb represents the direction in which the magnetic field will be pointing. It will be along the axis and the thumb will represent that. So to summarize and put it all together the way we approach this is we start with Biosawar's law. And then we calculate the magnetic field due to a small piece of that wire in magnitude. Then in direction. Then we realize that the actual components add up. So we only consider the actual component. And then finally we integrated over the entire loop to calculate the total magnetic field.

No My god, there's a lot of dead bodies on this ship Okay, just one of them. No, it is not dude. Why are all my tasks across the map? Okay, let's keep going this way Nothing better not jump out and eat us. I Have a feeling it's gonna pop out of nowhere. It just eat us alive Okay, we're almost there Okay, that does not look good Kind of getting me hanged. I'm hungry. It looks like a piece of ham. Okay. Here we are No, we passed it. What? Oh my god. I am so horrible at navigating this map It's not my fault. It's dark. Okay Okay, uh, oh fixed lights Okay, but a bing but a bang. Let's get it too easy man Okay, we do have a task here which is right here. Oh The wires. Hey, we got to connect the wires. Okay. What if we do it on the wrong one? No, let's just let's just do it.

Oh Oh My gosh, dude, that is very gruesome. He snaps us up with this time. Alright, so here we are doing the map a scan Hopefully we don't get eaten alive this time. Oh, I hear a door open How do you quit the town? Okay, you can quit it right there. I Hear the door open, dude. I don't think I'm safe Okay, I'm kind of getting freaked out Let's do this What is this? How do you do this? Okay? Okay, that was easy Okay, we got two out of six Done okay, where's my map? Okay, we do have one. Nope this way. Okay. Is it this? Oh Not this can we just go fix the reactor Oh my god, okay, I gotta go across the map Okay, go go go. Oh No, the O2 alarm dude. We got to go fix it or else or else we're not gonna have any oxygen And we are gonna suffocate to death here Okay, we're almost there make it left There it is Go go go. Okay, what do you do here? Oh? Wow, now we got to go do the other one gotta be kidding me, right? No this way this way Yes Okay, oh he's still chasing me. Oh my god go Okay, you can't sprint here with that which is a bad thing because there is a freaking creature chasing us. Oh He's gonna trap me here if I'm not quick enough go dude Dude, are you are you freaking kidding me right now? Bro, this thing is broken Okay, there you go. Oh my god. This thing this game really wants me to die doesn't it? Okay, let's go down here. We should be able to do this quick before we get trapped in here. Oh Here this Dude it better be something quick because I ain't got time Uploading the freaking files gives me one of the worst tasks Come on come on Come on. Okay. Nice. Oh That's way too close. Oh Wait, this is where I died. I remember this. This is where I got eaten alive Okay, nice Dude, I feel like we're doing pretty good this match on this round. Oh my god. Carl. What happened to car? Swipe card Yes, I heard him Dude, we need one more task. Oh my god. Why is it dark? Why did it go dark? Okay, I'm not liking this anymore. I Was starting to like it but not anymore because It just got dark out of nowhere. Oh That's why because the freaking lights are off Okay, nice, dude, we need one more task Okay, uh Go this way Start reactor Come on. Now we need is the freaking reactor Okay, go up make a left Yes Not this one Concentration 100 level 2 victory. We made it out of there. Wait, there's more levels next level. There is more levels What the heck I Wonder if it gets harder though Okay, I okay. Oh that freaking aliens over there. Um, I Wonder if it gets harder as you progress because we are level 2 now Okay, let's see what level 2 is. Maybe you get different tasks. I don't know what else is different about this But I guess we'll see I guess we'll see what's up Okay, come on upload. Oh cool. Oh my god. This is so slow Boy, you thought you were gonna get me, huh? You thought you were gonna get me not today Okay, maybe you are because I'm gonna go do this task over here Come on hurry go go go before you trust me Okay, we lost him dude. He almost had us back there not gonna lie Okay, I don't know what the difference is on level 2 let's just try to be level 2 real quick Okay, what you need me to my name. Oh, oh, okay. I was doing it the opposite. Oh You gotta be kidding me You gotta be kidding me. All right, we're gonna try to beat this as fast as we can to see Level 3 what level 3 is all about?

I knew it Oh, it's an even nearer Why me man You just had to be the last one on that ship, huh? All right you guys while that was imposter hide I'm not too sure what the levels are I guess. Oh my god I guess the difficulty just goes from 35 to 50 Which it didn't really seem that much of a difference on level 2 Maybe like level 5 or something. It's way more crazier Maybe he'll pop out from the vents and stuff like we're doing the task I don't know man.

Hello, good evening. I am Kimberley Oubiebo. This is News Now. President Mohamed Buhari says he closed the country's land borders to encourage Nigerians to produce food for their consumption. Buhari spoke today while inaugurating new customs headquarters located in the Mitama district of the federal capital Territory. He noted that although the move was initially criticized, Nigerians eventually appreciated it. Please note that from Lake Chad to Benin, it's more than 1,600 kilometers. Only God can effectively guard that border. So you need a person who will have the energy and the confidence to effectively supervise. And I deliberately closed the border because knowing Nigerians, they order rice and give some Nigerian address and then they bring the rice here. And with our land and our potentialities, God, we thank God, Nigeria is favored. We have people, we have land, we have weather. How many nations are so lucky as Nigeria in the world? Very few nations are as lucky as we are. We thank God for that. So closing that border, 1,600 kilometers more than that from Lake Chad to Benin. And Nigeria insists that they have to impress their neighbors and other people that they eat foreign rice. I said no rice, you either you eat what you grow, you grow what you eat or you die. I think I try to make my point and later Nigeria appreciated it because it provides more job. People go back to the land, we have the land and we produce what we eat. Later whoever bring, grow excess rice, eat his own rice or sell it somewhere else, but not to Nigeria. And for people who think that our neighbors can be unusual, okay, there are nothing you can do with our neighbor. That was why when I became the head of state of the president, my first visit was to Nigeria, Chad and Cameroons. Because neighborhood based on personal and national issue is very important. If you don't secure the confidence and cooperation of your neighbor, you are in trouble. If you are not in trouble, your children and grandchildren will be in trouble. So it's very good. I established the relationship with my neighbors. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

My fellow Americans, during my first press conference, nine days after being sworn in as your president, I was asked a question having to do with Soviet intentions. In my answer, I cited their own words, that they have openly and publicly declared the only morality they recognize is what will further world communism. That they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat in order to attain that. And I pointed out that we should keep this in mind when we deal with them. I was charged with being too harsh in my language. I tried to point out I was only quoting their own words. Well, I hope the Soviets' recent behavior will dispel any lingering doubt about what kind of regime we're dealing with and what our responsibilities are as trustees of freedom and peace. Isn't it time for all of us to see the Soviet rulers as they are, rather than as we would like them to be? I didn't tell the truth about the Korean Airlines Massacre. Rather than immediately and publicly investigate the crash, explain to the world how it happened, punish those guilty of the crime, cooperate in efforts to find the wreckage, recover the bodies, apologize and offer compensation to the families, and work to prevent a repetition. They have done the opposite. They've stonewalled the world, mobilizing their entire government behind a massive cover-up, then brazenly threatening to kill more men, women and children should another civilian airliner make the same mistake as KAL-007. The Soviets are terrified of the truth. They understand well and they dread the meaning of St. John's words. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. The truth is mankind's best hope for a better world. That's why in times like this, few assets are more important than the voice of America and radio liberty, our primary means of getting the truth to the Russian people. Within minutes of the report of the Soviet destruction of the Korean jet, the voice of America aired the story and its news programs around the globe. We made sure people in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and most important, the people in the Soviet block itself knew the truth. That includes every Soviet misstatement from their initial denials through all the tortured changes and contradictions in their story, including their UN representatives still denying they shot down the plane, even as his own government was finally admitting they did. Accurate news like this is about as welcome as the plague among the Soviet elite. Censorship is as natural and necessary to the survival of their dictatorship as free speech is to our democracy. That's why they devote such enormous resources to block our broadcasts inside Soviet controlled countries. The Soviets spend more to block Western broadcasts coming into those countries than the entire worldwide budget of the voice of America. To get the news across to the Russian people about the Korean Airlines massacre, the voice of America added new frequencies and new broadcast times. But within minutes of those changes, new Soviet jamming began. Luckily, jamming is more like a sieve than a wall. International radio broadcasts can still get through to many people with the news, but we still face enormous difficulties. One of the voice of America's listeners in the Middle East wrote, if you do not strengthen your broadcasting frequencies, no one can get anything from your program. Our radio equipment is just plain old, some of it World War II vintage. I don't mind people getting older, it's just not so good for machines. More than 35% of the voice of America's transmitters are over 30 years old. We have a similar problem at Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. We have six antiquated 500 kilowatt shortwave transmitters. The Soviets have 37, and theirs are neither old nor outdated. We regularly receive complaints that Soviet broadcasts are clearer than ours. One person wrote and asked why it's not possible for a nation that can send ships into space to have its own voice heard here on Earth. The answer is simple, we're as far behind the Soviets and their allies in international broadcasting today as we were in space when they launched Sputnik in 1957. We've repeatedly urged the Congress to support our long-term modernization program on our proposal for a new radio station, Radio Marti, for broadcasting to Cuba. The sums involved are modest, but for whatever reason this critical program has not been enacted. Today I'm appealing to the Congress, help us get the truth through. Help us strengthen our international broadcasting effort by supporting increased funding for the voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and by authorizing the establishment of Radio Marti. And I appeal to you, especially those of you who came from Eastern Europe, Russia and Soviet-dominated countries who understand how crucial this issue is, let your representatives hear from you. Tell them you want Soviet rulers held accountable for their actions even by their own people. The truth is still our strongest weapon, we just have to use it. Finally, let us come together as a nation tomorrow, in a national day of mourning, to share the sorrow of the families and let us resolve that this crime against humanity will never be forgotten anywhere in the world. Until next week, thank you for listening and God bless you.

Hi, and welcome to another CUBE Conversation, this time from BMC's Helix Immersion Day at the Santa Clara Marriott in beautiful Northern California. We're going to be spending the entire day having a series of discussions about what it means to do a better job of both digital services management and operations management, and how those technologies are coming together to dramatically alter how business operates, how customers get value, and ultimately how profits are generated. We're going to start this conversation with a CDO, a Chief Digital Officer from Genpact, Sanjay Shrutavasta, welcome to the CUBE. Thank you very much. So to start, tell us a little bit about Genpact, it's an interesting company going fast. Absolutely, we are indeed. Genpact is a large global professional services provider for digital transformation services. We serve many of the Fortune 500 companies around the world, and we help them think through their business processes and their business models, and digitally transform that to take advantage of so all of the new capabilities that are coming through. So digital service outcomes is a very important feature of that because I presume that when you have those conversations with customers, you're talking about the outcomes that they're trying to achieve, and not just the services that you're going to provide. So tell us a little bit about what is a digital service outcome and why is it so important? Yeah, well I think the reality is that what technology is doing is it's disintermediating the ecosystem so many of the industries our clients operate in, and they have to go back and re-imagine their value proposition at the core of what they do with the use of new innovative technologies, and it's that intersection of new capabilities of new innovative business models that really use emerging technologies, but intersect them with their business models, with their business processes, and the requirements of their clients, and help them rethink, reimagine, and deliver the new value proposition. That's really what it's all about. So a digital service outcome would then be the things that the business must do and must do well, but ideally with a different experience, or with a different degree of flexibility and agility, or with a different cost profile, have I got that right? Correct. So when we think about that, what are some of the key elements of a digital service success? We like to think about three critical success factors in driving any digital transformation. The first one is the notion of experience, and what I mean by that is not user interface for a piece of software, but the journey of a customer, an employee, a provider, a partner, in engaging with you and your business model. When we think about journey mapping that, scientifically, we think about design thinking on the back of that, and we think about reimagining what the new experience looks like. One of the largest things we've learned in the industry is digital transformation on the back of costs, take out of productivity, or efficiency is insufficient to drive and optimize the value that digital can bring. And using experience as the compass, it's sort of the north star in that journey is a meaningful differentiator and driver of business benefit, so that's number one. I mean the second area that's become increasingly apparent is the intersection of domain with digital. And the thinking there is that to materialize the benefit of digital in an enterprise, you have to intersect it with the specifics of that business, how users interact, what clients seek, how does business actually happen? You know we talk about artificial intelligence a lot, we do a lot of work in AI as an example, and the key thing about machine learning is goal orientation, and what is goal orientation? It's about understanding the specifics of the environment so you can actually orient the goal of the machine learning algorithm to deliver higher accuracy results. And it's something that can often easily get overlooked, so indexing on the two halves of the whole, the yin and the yang, the piece around digital and the innovative technologies and being able to leverage and take advantage of them, but equally be founded in domain, understand the environment, and use that knowledge to drive the right materialization of the end outcome. And that's the second critical success factor I think to get it right. I think the third one is the notion of how do you build a framework for innovation? You know it's not the sort of thing where large fortune companies can necessarily experiment and it's a little bit of a go happy, go lucky strategy, doesn't really work, you have to innovate at scale, you have to do it in a fundamental fashion, you have to do it as a critical success factor. And so one of the biggest things we focus on is how do you innovate at the edge? Innovation must be at the edge, this is where the rubber meets the road, but governance has to be at the core. Let me build on that for a second because you said innovations at the edge, so basically that means where the brand promise is being enacted for the customer. And that could be in an industrial automation setting or it could be in just making a recommendation to be any number of things. But it's where the value proposition is realized for the customer. Correct, that's exactly right. And that's where innovation must happen. So as a large corporation you must be, it's important to set up a framework that allows you to do innovation at the edge, otherwise it's not meaningful innovation if you will, it's just a lot of busy work. And yet as you do that and as you change your business model as you bring new components to the equation, how do you drive governance? And it's increasingly becoming more important. You think about we're going to be in an AI-first world increasingly, more and more that's the reality of the world we're going in. And in that AI-first world, you know I work here in Palo Alto, I work in my office, there are a couple of hundred people in any given day. If tomorrow morning I walked in and a hundred people didn't show up for work, I would know right away because I can see them. Now fast forward to an environment where we have digital workers, we have automation bots, we have conversational AI chatbots. And in that world, understanding which of my AI components are on, which ones are off, which ones showed up for work today, which ones felt sick. And really being able to understand that governance. And that's just the productivity piece of it. Then you think about data and security. AI changes complete dimensions on that. And you think about bias and explainability to become increasingly important. And the notion of a digital ethics board. And thinking about ethics more pervasively. So I think that companies and clients we serve that do really well in digital transformation are those that keen on those three things. The notion of experience is the true compass for how you try transformation. The ability to intermix domain and digital in a meaningfully intersecting fashion. And to be thoughtful, proactive, and get governance right upfront in the journey to come. So let me again build on that a little bit. Cause people are increasingly recognizing that we're not going to centralize with cloud. We're going to go to distribute. We're going to distribute data more. We're going to distribute function more. But you just added another dimension that some of us have been thinking about for a long time. And that's this notion of distributing authorities. So that an individual at the edge can make the decision based on the data and the resources that are available with the appropriate set of authorities. And that has to be handled at a central in an overall coherent, governed way. So that leads to the next question. And just before you go to that, I mean I think the best example of that is we do that. Most corporations do that really well in the financial scheme of things. Businesses at the edge make decisions on a day-to-day basis on pricing and relationships and so on and so forth. And yet there's a central audit committee that looks through the financials and makes sure it meets the right requirements and has the right framework. And much in the same way, we're going to start seeing digital ethics committees that become part of these large corporations as they think about digitizing the business. Governance at the end of the day is how do you how do you orchestrate multiple divergent claims against a common set of assets? And being able to do that is absolutely essential. And it leads to this notion of we've got these ideas of digital business, digital services and operations management. How are we going to weave them together utilizing some of these new technologies, new fabrics that are now possible to both achieve the outcomes we're talking about at scale and at speed? Yeah, well the technology capabilities are improving really well in that area. And so the good news is there's a set of tools that are now available that give you the ingredients, the components of the recipe that's required to make dinner, if you will. The work that needs to happen is actually how to orchestrate that, to figure out which components you to come in and how do you pull together a vertical stack that has the right components to meet your needs today and more importantly to address the needs of the future because this is changing like no other time in history. You want options with everything you do, now you want to make sure that you have a stream of options for the future and that's especially important here. That's right, that's exactly right. And the quick framework we've established there is sort of the three-legged stool of how do you integrate quickly, how do you modularize your investments and how do you govern them into one integrated whole and those become really important. So I'll give you examples. Much of the work we do, we'll work with the consumer bank for instance and they'll want to do a robotic process automation engagement. We'll run them for nine months, they'll get 1,800 robots up and running. And the next question becomes, well now we have all this data that we didn't really have because now we have an RPA running. How do I learn some machine learning insights from there? And so we then work with them to actually drive some insights and get these questions answered. And then the engagement changes to, well now that we have this pattern recognition that we understand the questions that we can be asked, how do I respond to those questions? A, automatically, and before they get asked, this notion of next best action. And so you think about that journey of a traditional client, you know, the requirements change from robotics to machine learning, to conversational AI, to something else. And keeping that string of investments, that innovative sort of streak true and yet being able to manage, govern and protect the investments, that's the key role. And especially if we do want to look at innovation at the edge because we want to see some commonalities, otherwise we freak people out along the way, don't we? That's exactly right. Sanjay Sridhavasa, thank you very much for being on theCUBE. Pleasure, thank you for having me. And once again, I'm Peter Burris and we'll be back with our next guest shortly from BMC Helix Immersion Day here at the Santa Clara Marriott. Thanks very much for listening.

Will Libya Peace Talks in Berlin Lead to any Peace?
In this episode of Mapping Faultlines, we first look at the developments in Libya. Eleven countries will be meeting in Berlin to broker a peace agreement between the Government of National Accord and the Libyan National Army. We also look at the bushfire crisis in Australia, and the reasons why the crisis has been so devastating this summer.

Hello and welcome to Mapping Fortunes. We are joined by Prabir Prakash in today's episode. We will look at the developments in Libya and the ongoing bushfires in Australia. In Libya, Turkey has decided to send troops in support of the Government of National Accord. A ceasefire is holding between the two warring factions in Libya, that is, between the Government of National Accord and General Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army. Despite the fact that the peace talks in Moscow did not end with any conclusion and there was no signed ceasefire agreement that was reached. Now there will be peace talks in Berlin with representatives from 11 countries in attendance, including Russia's President Vladimir Putin. So, Prabir, what outcome, what sort of discussions are you expecting in these peace talks in Berlin? If you see the Libyan largest scenario after the assassination of Gaddafi, Libya has been in continuous civil war with militias controlling different parts of Libya. It is something which is quite complicated in terms of how the external actors are behaving with respect to the various militias inside Libya. At the moment, Haftar, as I said, already holds large parts of the country and lately when Sitte has fallen to him. So, effectively, the Government of National Accord, which is the one recognized by the United Nations and all, almost all countries as the official representative of the Libyan people at the moment, that controls only Tripoli and Misrata. That's really the two pockets of control. Rest of the country is being at the moment controlled by Haftar, who is backed by Egypt. Now, the reason why Turkey entered the fray was also because we discussed it earlier, that there is a pipeline that they wanted to take, and this is being backed by essentially Israel, Greece, as well as Cyprus. Trying to take a pipeline through areas which are essentially disputed through oil fields who controls what has been a matter of dispute, because they are really or essentially they need to be negotiated between countries. An attempt was made to freeze out Turkey. Turkey has entered through the back door, so to say, by backing the GNA, Seng will put in troops over there and essentially saying that we'll not take this pipeline takes place unless you give us our share of the continental shelf oil, and that's been the debate or the dispute between Turkey and the other countries in that region. So, Libya has become in that sense a part of the larger game, which is there in the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea. This has been also the larger picture. Coming back to Libya, it is very clear that Haftar may hold the military cards, but Turkey has the ability to play the spoiler. It is a big military power. It has put in various militants from Syria, whom they are now being forced to evacuate as the Syrian government establishes its control more and more. So, these are militants which Turkey had earlier allowed to enter Syria and fight the Syrian government forces. As you know that the Syrian forces are now being lifted by Turkey, airlifted by Turkey to fight against the Haftar's forces, and they're aiding the GNA forces. Haftar in fact that was one of his major criticisms of in the Russian talks, that the other side is working with the Islamists and this is something that he would not accept. So, that is one and the Turkish forces are acting to support, but not to fight. So, they will provide logistical support, they will provide strategic support, but they will not fight. The fighting seems to be done by those militants, Islamist militants who Turkey was backing in Syria earlier. So, yet yes a very hazy picture with the Berlin talks resolve anything, here is the problem, that Berlin talks also involve the players who today have somewhat shall we say hazy alignments. Egypt is very clear the back in Haftar. Libya is on its borders. It does not want the Muslim Brotherhood backed government, it does not want an Islamist government and it has backed Haftar fully. Turkey supports Muslim Brotherhood, it is a Muslim Brotherhood led government and they are supporting the GNA. Countries like Russia, Greece, Italy, all of the mistakes there, but they really clearly not on either side except Greece would like to be on the opposite side to Turkey. So, that's where Greece's location comes from and Haftar has gone to Greece before the Berlin talks. Merkel doesn't seem to have any clear side on this one. So, there is this issue that all these countries who had stakes earlier in Libya post Gaddafi really do not know which side they're on. As long as the oil keeps flowing, they will be okay. As long as they can get the share of the pie, the oil wealth of Libya, they would be okay, but who's going to deliver it to them? Is there a clear way forward? Does not seem to be there. So, I think we are in for a situation in which Haftar will still control large parts of Libya, but he will not have a clear victory, which was a possibility because A, the Bistarta forces are with the GNA. As you know, Bistarta has independently the militias which are supporting the GNA at the moment. They're not really GNA in this sense. And the GNA being backed by Turkey gives it a relatively, shall we say, greatest staying power that we thought earlier. So, I think that this, if the ceasefire holds, if the talk starts, hopefully Egypt and Turkey will try and settle something among themselves. And that will be in looking also at the Mediterranean continental shelf, oil and gas. That larger picture will need to be settled. And to some extent, Libya is a victim of this battle as well. But let's be very clear what has happened. The West, the NATO forces destroyed Gaddafi, destroyed Libya. And what we are seeing is a long fight again, trying to put back the Humpty Dumpty. And that's the problem that the West created. But unfortunately, the problem has to be solved with regional powers because they are most affected by the destruction of the Libyan state. And that's the key problem we have in the area. How to put it back is not going to be easy. Let's hope some process takes place in Berlin. Merioprosma takes place within the two sides. And we have some path to peace. And moving on to Australia, this summer the country has seen unprecedented destruction because of bushfires. I think more than 10 million hectares of land has been burned around 30 people have lost their lives. The loss to wildlife has not even been estimated. But many species are expected to go extinct. So firstly, can you tell us what is the reason that bushfires this year have been so severe? I think you have to see that the climate crisis is affecting different parts of the world differently. Australia has seen unprecedented summer temperatures. And as long as summer temperatures are high, your under growth, the blue bush, all of this becomes extremely dry. And then it is waiting for a fire. The question here is twofold. Assumption climate change is on the way. How do you adapt to it? What are the precautions you take? Unfortunately, the prime minister, Scott Morrison, who has been pilloried by the press, by the people has been extremely shown to be extremely incompetent, inept, but also earlier, extremely careless of the impending crisis. In fact, for two years, the firefighting agencies have been saying we need much more resources. It was denied to them. So they are not accepting climate change is only one issue. But not accepting the reality of the ground that you are seeing higher summer temperatures and you are seeing the more likelihood of fire. And therefore, at least you need to be prepared for fires. That also doesn't seem to have happened. And certainly, Scott Morrison did not show any ability to fight the emergency that is enveloped Australia, particularly areas like New South Wales, as you can see, the fires are there much more than other areas. But it is larger number of fires all over Australia. If you take a picture three months, four months back, you can see the difference that is there. The question that we have also that it must also be seen that Australian habitat was also changed completely. After the settlers came in, sheep was introduced in a large measure, the original population, how they looked at this kind of semi-arid region was very different from the way the Australian population now has looked at it. And that's compounded the climate crisis. I don't think there is only one original crisis that has taken place in Australia. I think it's a combination of all of this that we are seeing. And immediately, really, the issue is how to protect the forest? How do you really attack forest fires with the take place? How do you quickly put it out, isolated, create a ring by which the fire can be contained? All of these are known. The firefighters in Australia know how to fight fires. What they're complaining about, and the Australian people are complaining about, is the minimum resources required is what has not been provided. So you have a climate crisis on one hand, you have the crisis, the political system, which does not want to give enough resources to the basic services involved. If you remember, when Hurricanes take place once earlier in the United States, which created devastation, George Bush, who had cut down, hacked essentially the service which addresses this kind of crisis, or Trump, when you came and looked at the recent cyclones that took Hurricanes and took place also. You see that the system does not today support basically emergency systems, emergency services, which have to be there. And I think one of the biggest problems in Australia, apart from the rising temperature and the potential for increased fires, is the crisis of the emergency system, the firefighting system, which has not been strengthened to meet this emergency. I think that's what we are seeing also in Australia. Okay, so thank you Praveen for talking to us today. And that's all the time we have. Thank you for watching News Clique.

Social situations can be tough. There always seems to be a way that we should handle our interactions with people. It gets overwhelming. Learning how the brain operates can help you understand why people are behaving in certain ways and what to do in response. From making a good first impression to winning an argument, we're here to let you in on a couple of secrets. But what kinds of tips and tricks can you use in everyday situations? Are you curious on how you can begin to read people? Here are seven psychological tricks that actually work. One, make a better first impression by going first or last. Here's a great tip when it comes to making an awesome first impression. Go first or last. This only works when you're in a group, but it's definitely worth remembering. Known as the serial position effect, this is when people remember you much more clearly if you're first or last in a list. This is very helpful in job interviews or when you're meeting a person and want to make a lasting impression. Two, the best way to get someone to do you a favor. There are a number of ways to ask for a favor, but the most effective methods are rooted in psychology. The next time you ask a friend to help you out, consider making use of the reciprocity effect. Simply put, people are more likely to do you a favor if you've already done something for them in the past. Please don't make this the only reason why you help people, but the people you help be much more likely to return the favor later on when you find yourself in a pinch. The good you put out in the world will eventually come back to you. Three, when asking a group of people for help, target individuals first. Convincing a single person to help you is hard enough, but winning over an entire group is almost impossible at times. But if you're smart, you'll use the bystander effect to your advantage. Humans are much less likely to help an individual in need if they're part of a group or crowd. Because of this, you'll have much more success if you approach members of a group individually, gradually convincing everyone and getting the help you need. Four, how to find out who someone really likes. It's always interesting to figure out the strongest connections between people. In any group, there's always a few people who share a much deeper connection with each other compared to the others. Sometimes these deeper connections can be romantic ones. Often, it's a little difficult to spot these strong social connections. But laughter could be the answer. Studies have shown that when we laugh together in a group, we'll automatically look at those we have an amicable relationship with. We don't always glance at the person we like the most in a group, but it's always someone we have a good relationship with. Five, the power of mirroring. Mirroring is when people mimic each other's mannerisms and behaviors, usually during conversation. Most of the time, we do this subconsciously. But if you really want to build trust, you might want to give the relationship a little nudge with the power of mirroring. Try nodding when they nod during conversations or use your hands to convey your words in a similar style. But don't do it immediately or it'll be too obvious. Research has shown that this technique builds trust and makes the other person feel more comfortable around you. Six, want to win an argument? Just speak faster. Winning an argument isn't always easy and sometimes it helps to have a card up your sleeve. One of the most effective methods might also be one of the simplest, just talk faster. Research has shown that when people speak quickly, they're generally seen as being more knowledgeable. It's also harder for people to refuse quick fire points because their mind has to work harder to interrupt what we're saying. Seven, remind people they're free to do whatever they want and they'll be more likely to do what you want. People don't like feeling as if they have no choice. I've always hated when I was forced to do something against my will. Seven years of piano. So if you can create that illusion of choice, you'll generally have a better chance of convincing someone to do something. You're not even lying to them. You're simply reminding them that they're free to do whatever they want. Of course, they knew this deep down, but reminding them of the fact makes you seem less pushy and it increases the chance of them agreeing with you. It's a simple trick that's totally honest and non-manipulative, and research has shown that it works wonders. Now that we've equipped you with these seven simple psychological tricks, it's time to go out into the real world and try them out. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Try not to be manipulative or malevolent with these tricks. Have you tried any of these methods before? What are some psychological tricks that you've used in social situations?

Hola, bona tarda. Primer de tot, agraïa la Regiduria de Memòria Democràtica i el Centre del Borne, així com a l'Observatori Europeu de Memòries i a la Universitat de Barcelona, per la invitació que m'han fet a poder moderar aquesta taula i també felicitar la iniciativa que han tingut per proposar aquesta discussió oberta, que és molt pertinent de sobre el llegat colonial i la seva interpel·lació en el nostre present, que és molt pertinent per la ciutadania del segle XXI. Tenim aquí els tres ponents, però passarem primer cadascú amb la seva participació. La taula és Colom Conquesta i Colonització d'Amèrica, la Pugna del Relat, que és també la Pugna del Relat, també és una cosa molt actual, però en altres ens anirem cap enrere. I començarem per l'Estefanó Gingolani, que passo a presentar-lo abans que ell faci la seva intervenció. A l'Estefanó Gingolani és historiador medievalista, italià, format a la Universitat de la Sapienza de Roma, ha sigut investigador a la Universitat de Roma, torbergata, professor visitant de literatura mèdia bal catalana a la Universitat de Barcelona i a la Universitat Pumpeu Fabra, també col·labora amb la UOC i s'ha especialitzat entre d'altres temes en la literatura catalana i en historiografia catalana dels segles 10 al segle XIV, és coautor del llibre Seu d'Història contra Catalunya de l'editorial Eumor. Ell ens parlarà de Colom i la Seu d'Història de Catalunya. Quan tu vulguis, Estefanó, tens els teus 15, 20 minuts per començar. Merci. A connectar amb el micròfon. Bona tarda a tothom. Ja s'ha descobert que soc italià, això però no vol dir que sigui jovinista, és a dir, no soc un defensual trans de la italianitat genovicitat del Cristòforo Colombo i, en el fons, tampoc m'interessa massa, en aquest cas, entrar en els detalls de quina és la seva origen. He de dir també que no he estat mai un admirador dels exploradors. Els temes que em centraré són més aviat Seu d'Històries i les seves conseqüències, és a dir, un revat marginal perquè gaire fora de Catalunya no existeix, però que en els envíons catalans ha tingut la seva... ha tingut i té la seva... la seva difusió, la seva acceptació i les conseqüències que això comporta. Aquest relat de quina manera defineix la història de Catalunya, intenta molt definir la història de Catalunya, també i sobretot a relació amb Colombo i amb la descoberta i després conquesta del nou continent. Aquests són els dos punts. El primer, quin és el personatge real històric, que l'institut de nova història i sobretot el seu fundador i cap espiritual, en Jordi Bilben, identifica com corresponent el navegador, Cristófol Colom, i després a veure com aquesta història encaixa amb la revisió general de la història catalana, que és també espanyola i gairebé mundial, que defensa aquest institut. D'entrada se dedica... Jordi Bilben identifica Cristófol Colom amb un tal Joan Colom i Bertran, membre d'una família de Barcelona del segle XIV i del segle XV, una família acomodada de mercader. D'entrada se li diu que no és el primer a portar aquesta possible identificació. No és un invent seu, una descoberta seva, sinó que hi ha bibliografia de altres pseudos, historiadors precedents, tot allà del segle XX. També se li diu i em sembla realment important que Colom, almenys a partir del segle XX, és una mena d'humèr modern. És a dir, tothom intenta buscar la seva pàtria alternativa, sempre per part de historiadors aficionats i sempre amb demostracions i proves absolutament fidedigles. S'ha dit que era de Ibissa, s'ha dit que era de Mallorca, s'ha dit que era fit de Carles Príncep de Viana, el fit de rei Joan II, que era portugès, que era gallec, de possibles identificacions catalanes, n'hi ha més d'una, no només aquest Joan Colom i Bertrand, sinó també algun pirat o dos pirates. També altres països han vingut defensant, que era grec, que era sar, que era corso, que era anglès o que era escocès. Que hi hagi possibles escletxes o dubtes respecte a l'origen de Colom no és prou per poder justificar tot aquestes mirides d'identificacions i d'apropiació de la figura del nou continent, de les índies orientals, de fet, que ell no sabia que havia descobert Amèrica. El que sé, el lloc que sé respecte a Colom i a les teories i a les teories de l'Institut Nova Història, ve d'haver escrit un capítol juntament amb Cristian Palom o Guillem Fornès, relativament a les seves teories, pel llibre de l'Apseud d'Història contra Catalunya. S'ha de dir que per un lector no ha introduït en la matèria les argumentacions de George David Ben, que ha escrit més d'un llibre sobre Cristófor Colom, han anant modificant les seves idees, per un lector no introduït en la matèria, tot el que diu sembla molt provat amb documents, amb dades, amb fonaments històrics. En realitat, si anem a comprovar la coherència interna dels relats de George David Ben, si anem a veure què diuen els documents que ell utilitza quan els utilitza, com estan llegits, si bé o malament, es pot veure com la manipulació de les dades i dels conceptes que s'utilitzen és absoluta. La tècnica habitual dels membres de l'Institut Nova Història és aquella que es defineix Jerry Peking, és a dir, s'agafa una afirmació fora del context i es pren com si fos una veritat quan la frase segueix del mateix historiador podria dir exactament el contrari. Aquest sistema de manipular, de obviar dades contràries, de transformar conceptes històrics, el senyor Bilben ho fa també amb ell mateix, i amb alguns pseudo-historicors que havien introduït la identitat catalana i possiblement del mateix Joan Colom i Bertran, com a Cristófor Colom, que són declarats com a fons i mestres d'inspiració, tal la rica mitjana de les dobles o caïos parellades. En resum, les teories de George David Ben i de l'Institut Nova Història porten a què? Joan Colom i Bertran havien participat a la Guerra Civil Catalana de 1462 a 1472, hauria estat desterrat de Catalunya. S'hauria refugiat a Portugal, hauria tornat al cap de poc temps les dates dels escrites de l'Institut Nova Història sempre són precàries, i mai molt coherents, doncs és difícil d'entendre exactament quan hauria tornat a Catalunya utilitzant la falsa identitat de Cristófor Colom, com si al segle XV hi haguessin passaports i carnets d'identitat que els obligessin a especificar qui és. A més d'això, hi ha abans de descobrir-la, s'hauria casat amb una princesa portuguesa, de fet és una infanta, que li hauria portat el títol de príncep de Catalunya, i fins i tot seria el pare ocult, ni més ni menys, quedaràs Mederòterdam. Tot això està argumentat, però mai demostrat, sinó falsificant documents, i sobretot una de les bases dels piràs, dels arguments de l'Institut de Nova Història, és que tot rarat, tot rarat de l'edat mitjana catalana, i fins i tot gairebé qualsevol document d'arxiu, no tots, però alguns s'utilitzen, gairebé qualsevol document d'arxiu, amb una decisió crònica, realat el que sigui, hauria estat assensurat implacablement per la censura castellana, allà del segle XV, de vegades, el segle XVI i el segle XV. De manera que per el cas de Cristòfor Colom, s'hauria procurat amagar de totes possibles maneres i tota participació dels catalans i valencians en la descoberta, en la colorització de la península. Fins aquí, no és possible entrar en les detalls, només es pot dir que tot això és un muntatge absolutament fals, manipulat i incoherent. Però el que m'interessa més respecte al discurs que estem fent a la temàtica és que segons sempre els autors de la nova història, també serien catalans, Bartolomé de les Casas, Francisco Pizarro, Hernán Cortés. I si aportem aquests tres, l'envolic de la seva narració, del seu relat, es fa absolut. Perquè al mateix temps, l'Institut Nova Història, és partidari, evidentment, del bonisme català. El català són bons, són superiors moralment els castellans. I defensen que la primera colonització de les Amèriques per part de catalans i valencians hauria estat molt més caritativa i comprensiva amb els indígenes, que no pas la successiva acció dels castellans. Resulta clar que aquesta visió, entre molts altres aspectes conflictius, topa de ple amb la qüestió de l'origen i la validació de la llegenda negra, de la qual parlar José Luis Villacáñez, a continuació. Si els primers conqueridors van ser catalans i cabalencians, i van ser molt més civilitzats que els castellans, qui, quan i per què un altre català hauria originat la llegenda negra, a més, no treu tota validesa a la qüestió de la llegenda negra i del comportament eventual del discutit dels castellans a les Amèriques. I aquí surt una de les grans teories conspiranoiques en el fons d'una nova història, perquè tota la història catalana ha estat censurada per l'aposterior poder dels castellans espanyols. Ells, els de la nova història, són els únics que han estat capaços de descobrir les poques pistes que encara quedaven, perquè aquests censuradors eren molt bons, però no tant com perquè alguns no podessin descobrir les pistes, de l'original catalanitat, pràcticament de tota la història de la península ièrica, des del segle X, com a mínim, fins a bona part del segle XVI, i en part de la història universal, de l'història europea, perquè segons ells, els que es va arribar a crear fins al segle XVI va ser un imperi català universal. Imperi català universal, que es va fer, segons els heu relat, assumint, com ara explicaré breuament, tots els tòpics, tota la història de l'imperialisme castellà. Imperialisme castellà, que per part dels membres de l'institut Nova Història, és absolutament criticat i censurat, perquè és el caosant de l'oblit, és el caosant de la manipulació més burda de tota la història universal. Tot aquesta construcció fantàciosa, gairebé de la science ficció, pateix a banda dels arguments inters que mai no s'aguanten i s'os tenen, sobre proves, fer fa anys, perquè qualsevol prova, saport i documental pot haver estat falsificat, doncs no se'l veig de res. Té uns punts que són inquietants, perquè en la seva cosmovisió, els catalans i després els valencians són els bons, són els que han fet tot, són els responsables de la reconquesta, són els responsables de l'imperi mediterrani, de la descoberta del nou continent, i els castellans, com a tal, els espanyols, sempre són descrits com un poble primitiu, insibilitzat, desorganitzat, i que en tot i per tot és d'autor de Catalunya. El que sembla, bàsicament, increïble de creure, és com aquesta raça en el fons, raça superior dels catalans, que van arribar a dominar mig món, fins a primers del segle XVI, es van deixar pistar l'imperi universal, per part d'uns castellans sempre descrits i definits com incapassos, absolutament incapassos de qualsevol cosa, tan política com cultural. Com es pot justificar un oblid tan profund, a més, perquè els catalans, evidentment, ens hem oblidat de la nostra història gloriosa, tal com la defineixen els historiadors de la nova història. Van passar els Man in Blacks amb el seu boli que feia oblidar el que havien vist, o estem parlant d'un símptoma d'estocolmo col·lectiu de proporcions, de proporcions inquietants. Per què segons les fantasies de la nova història, la literatura del segle d'Oro és originàriament en castellà, en català, després traduïda al castellà i oblidada. Són catalans en Teresa d'Àvila o a Zerilla de Tormes, el Quixote, ja que Miguel de Cervantes és un Joan Ciorbent de Xixona, i fins i tot seria la mateixa persona que William Shakespeare. I s'ha de tenir una sensibilitat literària i cultural propera al Zerl'absolut per poder creure que els dos escriptors siguin la mateixa persona. També són catalans al cit, la reconquesta, i el que és el meu primer és definir com un mentider perquè tant millor que com València ja havien estat concurrides en presidència. Doncs ja que haig d'acabar, les coses inquietants és que l'Institut Nova Història, per tal de catalanitzar la història universal, l'història hispèdica i universal, assumeix com a propis els discursos dels blaveros valencians, dels aragonessos anticatalans i tots els mites rancis, no dels espanyolisme, no la visió que els historiadors, bons historiadors, tenen de l'època medieval, sinó tot el ranci dels mites dels espanyolistes, és assumida com a història catalana. I això hauria d'ajudar l'independència i l'autoconsciència de Catalunya. Com vaig insinuar al llibre aquesta espanyolització en el fons de la història de Catalunya, perquè això es tracta d'una espanyolització, li hagués encantat el ministre Verd, que volia espanyolitzar els ninos catalanes. No hi ha millor manera que assumi com a catalana la història espanyola per tal d'espanyolitzar-se. Em pregunto si el ministre Verd va ser impulsor o financedor de l'Institut Nova Història. Gràcies, i espero que ha estat comprensible. Moltes gràcies, Stefano. A veure si... No em puc connectar amb el vídeo, però no suposo que sí que se m'escolta. Moltes gràcies. Passaré ara a la... A veure, estar mai vídeo. Vale. Ara em peixo que sí que em deixi. Perfecte. Que se Stefano per complir-me el temps i també per el teu relat, que crec que és molt interessant i contundent. Dona la paraula ara al José Luis Villacañas, que, d'alguna manera, crec que podrà llasar aquest relat que feu tu des d'una altra visió. José Luis Villacañas és professor, filósofo-político, historiador de la filosofia i historiador de les idees polítiques, de los conceptos y de las mentalidades. És catedràtico actualmente de filosofía en la Universitat Complutense de Madrid, director de la biblioteca Sabedra Fajardo de Pensamiento Político Hispánico. Entre sus últimas obras se encuentra Imperiofilia y el Populismo Nacional Católico, y neoliberalismo como Teología Política. Su intervención lleva por título sobre el llamado Imperio Español algunas precisiones conceptuales. Cuando quieras, José Luis, tienes tu tus 15, 20 minutos. Muchas gracias. Creo que no puedo poner el vídeo en marcha, pero espero que... Perfecto, ahora sí. Bueno, muchísimas gracias. Muchas gracias, por supuesto, por la invitación y por estar en el Instituto Europeo, en el Observatorio Europeo de la Memoria. Mi intervención, en cierto modo, está muy relacionada con la intervención de Stefano, a quien saludo de manera muy especial, por... y recuerdo con afecto, en algunos momentos, de nuestra pasada dedicación a Jaume I. Creo que para el público conviene hacer una aclaración precisa, y es que, en cierto modo, España, de forma clara, no tuvo lo que se puede llamar un imperio. Tiene lo que la bibliografía se reconoce como un gran poder, pero no un imperio. Un imperio es una constitución formalizada, de naturaleza muy específica, que tiene como base sustancial la electividad de la magistratura màxima, la capacidad de generar un parlamentarismo, o un protoparlamentarismo, y tiene la virtualidad específica de considerarse como un boomed, como una federación, y con una federación que tiene claramente división de poderes. Esto es que el Supremo magistrado, que controla la moneda y el ejército, no es a su vez el Supremo juez, y tampoco es el Supremo legislador. Por supuesto, durante una buena parte de la Edad Media, posiblemente desde la época de Jaume I, los poderes hispánicos han tenido una aspiración de vincularse al imperio en el sentido específicamente europeo, y este fue el sentido de la invasión, o de la ayuda de Pedro El Grande a Sicilia, como fue el intento de Alfonso X de conectar con los electores alemanes. Pero es muy importante diferenciar, con toda claridad, esta dimensión, esta proyección imperial que han tenido los poderes hispánicos, tanto de la corona de dragón como de la corona de castilla, con lo que llamamos la expansión atlántica. Porque el imperio, en su sentido medieval, institucional, claro, tenía como uno de los elementos decisivos la defensa del islam, la conquista de Jerusalén y la posesión del Mediterráneo. Podemos decir que es un imperio, en este sentido, que todavía sigue siendo un imperio mediterráneo-céntrico. La expansión atlántica, que acabó beneficiando, finalmente, al poder castellano, fundamentalmente, y al poder portugués, tiene otras razones y, por supuesto, que no tiene ningún tipo de proyección que pudiera llamarse específicamente imperial, puesto que se trataba fundamentalmente de encontrar un paso alternativo, como he sabido, para el comercio bloqueado por la toma de Constantinopla. Esta expansión atlántica dio lugar a una expansión patrimonial, pero nunca un imperio, puesto que, como he dicho antes, los poderes imperiales, en cierto modo, son poderes que tienen que ser reconocidos por los colectivos y encierran alguna dimensión proto-federal. Lo que sucede en América, lo que sucede con la expansión atlántica, primero con las canarias y luego con América, en relación con Castilla, es sencillamente la expansión de un poder patrimonial, que, en este caso concreto, estuvo en condiciones de reproducir miméticamente las formas institucionales, más o menos establecidas, en la península y, al mismo tiempo, desplegar la mimesis de las formas en las que los poderes peninsulares, sobre todo aquellos que han mantenido el contacto con el Islán, hasta el último momento, las formas que desplegaron durante todo el siglo XV. Es muy importante, desde este punto de vista, que la expansión atlántica de Castilla fue, en cierto modo, vista y entendida como una prolongación de las prácticas de la expansión, tanto hacia el sur de Andalucía como hacia el norte de África. Y cualquiera que vea la nómina de los que se embarcan a América con la finalidad de ordenar el territorio recién descubierto, descubre que son todos ellos, o en buena parte, descendientes de segunda generación de aquellos castellanos que fueron al norte de África en la época final del cardenal cifneros o de los Reyes Católicos. Y, por lo tanto, constituyen el mismo estrato social de pequeña hidalguía que, por supuesto, tenía como una práctica profesional, económica y militar, adentrarse en territorios completamente desconocidos, como podían haber sido Alger, Túnez, etcétera. Lo más relevante, desde mi punto de vista, de este equivoco de llamar a esto el imperio español, es no darnos cuenta de que esta forma de poder fue completamente sobrevenida, Castella no estaba preparada para un descubrimiento de tierra firme, no tenía la mentalidad, por supuesto, no la buscaba, fue aceptada regañadientes por los Reyes Católicos, no de una manera especialmente gloriosa, y, por supuesto, fue, ante todo, el campo de expansión de una forma de vida que fue definida por un gran medievalista como una sociedad preparada para la guerra. Esto es, es de estratos hidalgos que no tienen otra forma de economía que la economía de guerra y que, una vez que se muestra la inviabilidad de llevar adelante el proyecto norteafricano, encuentra en América una forma de desplegar lo que han sabido hacer siempre, esta economía de invasión, esta economía de dominio. Por supuesto, es perfectamente conocido que la política, el diseño de la política de los Reyes Castellanos, fundamentalmente, que sean reyes de Aragon, reyes de... o señores de Borgonia, pero la política americana la llevan en tanto que reyes de Castilla, se puede demostrar feacientemente que no hay ningún proyecto medianamente organizado en relación con esta dominación. Las cautelas fueron extraordinariamente amplias y yo creo que se basaron siempre sobre una informalidad que estaba relacionada con el famoso dicho que se conocía en Castilla y que ahora es enormemente frecuente en América de obedezcase pero no se cumpla. Por supuesto, todo el mundo está en condiciones de citar de memoria las ordenanzas de Isabel la Católica respecto del buen trato a los indios de la ciudadanía concedida a los indígenas, etcétera, etcétera. Pero en realidad todo esto se obedece pero no se cumple sin que esto implique en cierto modo rebelión alguna. Por supuesto, creo que lo más importante que cabe decir respecto de este gran poder americano es que los castellanos que se embarcaron allá se llevaron consigo las aspiraciones fundamentales de los castellanos que se quedaron acá y esencialmente la aspiración fundamental de una sociedad de servidumbre. Era un viejo dicho medieval que quien no tiene oro no tiene oro y esto se aplicó de manera completamente mimética al indígena, quien no tiene indígena no tiene oro. Y por lo tanto el repartimiento de indígenas, el repartimiento de esclavos o de servidumbre fue la aspiración intrínseca, no accidental, sino intrínseca a la aspiración de los conquistadores en la medida en que aspiraban, en cierto modo, a convertirse en hidalgos y los hidalgos, como sabemos, están eximidos de cualquier tipo de trabajo y por lo tanto tienen que estar pendientes de la búsqueda de un trabajo ajeno. La aspiración esencial de los reyes de castilla en tanto que señores de hecho sobre América, evidentemente con títulos que fueron impugnados por mucha gente tanto por teólogos castellanos como el propio Francisco de Vitoria como por cualquier otro tipo de teólogos europeos y que por lo tanto fue una legitimidad discutida. La aspiración fundamental de estos reyes, como he dicho, estaba esencialmente relacionada con algo fundamental, no producir en América una gran nobleza, una gran aristocracia. La historia oficial castellana tiende a considerar los poderes castellanos desde los reyes católicos como poderes enormemente bien establecidos y esto es una mirada relativamente desencajada. El propio rey Fernando conoció una guerra civil en Andalucía, la muerte de Isabel la católica, que impugnaba su propio gobierno por movimientos específicos de la alta nobleza Andaluza, sobre todo Medina Sidoña. Por lo tanto, los reyes castellanos aspiran fundamentalmente a que no se produzca una gran aristocracia en América, pero no tienen un sistema de gobierno capaz de impedirlo. Esto es lo que determina que tan pronto le llega la noticia de Cortés, Cortés sea neutralizado, sea el único cargo, el único alto cargo que se concede, pero una vez que se le concede el cargo de Marqués del Valle, es obligado a vivir en la península y es obligado a convertirse en un noble cortesano. Por supuesto, se tienen todavía los documentos por los cuales se ve que Cortés era aclamado por los indígenas como su verdadero rey y esas cartas llegan mediante espías a la monarquía que tiene serio miedo a producir una verdadera coronación de Cortés o un verdadero dominio de Cortés. Pero lo importante y lo que quiero surrallar es que el gran poder castellano sobre América no tiene en cierto modo estructura, no tiene forma, no tiene un proyecto real y solamente puede hacer una cosa que es traer a los conquistadores en la medida en que obtengan algo de poder. Lo más decisivo en relación con esto es que no pueden, si no tienen a nadie importante la jerarquía, no pueden tampoco controlar a toda la estructura de conquistadores y entonces se ven permanentemente en un dilema, en un dilema extraño entre o bien generar una verdadera jerarquía en América o bien generar una verdadera anarquía. La anarquía está a punto de conseguirse justamente cuando las leyes nuevas de India de 1542 niega a los encomenderos la posibilidad de heredar los indios de su propiedad. Esto es, cuando se les dice a los encomenderos que son funcionarios públicos que tienen encomiendas en función del rey y que por lo tanto no son señores de esclavos, sino que el único señor fiscal de los indígenas es el rey. En este momento, en México, se genera una extraordinaria inquietud que produce algo muy importante. Podemos llamar la Santa Junta, les llaman ellos, pero en cierto modo es una realidad proto-parlamentaria. Puesto que se reúnen los obispos, se reúnen el propio las casas, se reúnen el cabildo, el catedralicio, se reúnen el ayuntamiento, se reúnen la audiencia y todos juntos organizan una especie de proto-parlamento en la capital, Tenochtitlán, a partir del cual se assume que no se van a aplicar las leyes nuevas. Se va a desobedecer al rey fundamentalmente con la argumentación de que el rey está muy lejos de las cosas y no tiene un genuino conocimiento de la realidad de México. ¿Será entonces el rey cuando se da cuenta de que ese proto-parlamento genera una cierta capacidad de autonomía y tiene que improvisar de la noche a la mañana un sistema de gobernación que es un sistema de gobernación que no es castellano, es un sistema de gobernación propio de la corona de Aragón que es el sistema de los virreyes. Un sistema de virreyes que en la corona de Aragón naturalmente estaba prácticamente diseñado para distribuir los cargos de la familia real y que aquí, curiosamente, se entrega de forma inmediata a un bàsico de la familia Mendoza. Pero no es un azar que se entrega a un bàsico de la familia Mendoza porque en realidad lo que sucede es que la familia Mendoza tenía, por decirlo así, el monopolio de la gobernación de Granada. Esto es del último territorio conquistado por la monarquía y por lo tanto miméticamente, con la necesidad del gobierno de Moriscos, se lanza un virrey, un Mendoza que tiene verdadera capacidad de gobierno en territorios agenos a México. Antonio de Mendoza verdaderamente suaviza toda la situación, da una demora para la aplicación de las leyes nuevas, pacifica América, México, donde no se produce este sistema inmediatamente de virreinato que es en Perú, se produce una guerra civil que desarticula completamente toda la dominación hispánica y arruina todas las posibilidades de generar o de sembrar un orden en la parte de Tihuatinsuyo, en lo que conocemos como el Imperio Inca. Es importante señalar esta doble variación porque muestra cómo, en realidad, la monarquía hispánica respecto de América va sobrevenida, va después de los hechos, va organizando algún tipo de soluciones, provisionales, según se va encontrando los problemas. Ahora bien, es muy peculiar y demuestra con toda claridad cuál es el interés de la corona dos medidas fundamentales para saber que en realidad estamos hablando de una colonia y no estamos hablando de un imperio. La primera que los virreyes no pueden ser oriundos, no pueden ser criollos, esto es, no pueden proceder de la propia América y que además tienen que estar en periodos y en espacios de tiempo y de gobierno muy pequeños para no intimar ni poder casarse con los naturales. Una vez más, lo que se impide es una aristocracia nativa. Y dos, que los virreyes solamente se producen dos durante toda la primera modernidad hasta el siglo XVIII, justamente porque tienen a su cargo los territorios que tienen grandes minas de plata. Uno en Potosí del Perú y otro en Potosí de México. Y por lo tanto, esto testimonia que la forma de construir el poder de la monarquía hispánica, en cierto modo, es una forma íntimamente dirigida al control de las materias primas, fundamentalmente el oro y la plata, dejando ciertamente una amplia autonomía en el régimen urbano. Esto es importante dejando un régimen urbano que genera oligarquías porque ese régimen es extraordinariamente estable y fiel a la monarquía y desinteresándose completamente de una construcción del territorio que pudiera generar un futuro verdaderamente ordenado cuando la monarquía faltase. Por supuesto, si a esto añadimos que uno de los motivos fundamentales que es la monarquía hispánica tras pasa América es la obsesión de la sangre pura, nos damos cuenta que la estructura misma de los hechos gubernativos en América, en cierto modo, mimetiza la forma gubernativa que, durante mucho tiempo, se había tenido con los recién conquistados musulmanes y que no obedece a un diseño específicamente a fin a las tierras recién gobernadas o dominadas. Y, por lo tanto, en este sentido podemos decir que España tuvo un dominio de América pero tuvo un dominio de América sin una reflexión específica de los problemas que mantenía aquellas tierras. Y creo que esto desarrolla ese isomorfismo tan específico que tienen las sociedades hispánicas y las sociedades híberoamericanas actuales que comparten, en cierto modo, un mismo periodo constituyente atravesado por una dirección política extraordinariamente débil y extraordinariamente concentrada en problemas más de supervivencia que de diseño y de construcción. Sí, sí, més gràcies, José Luis, también por tenerte al tiempo y por tu intervención. Vamos a dar paso a la tercera intervención, la de Cielo Zeitemberg. Digamos que si en la primera, no, Estefano nos colocaba en un micro en el cual se quiere ser imperio. José Luis lo que en su intervención un poco nos decía, es tal imperio, no existe, pero Cielo ahora nos va a colocar al otro lado del Atlántico. Todo esto se celebra o se conmemora con una fecha con el 12 de octubre y en su intervención, el título es de la celebración a la reivindicación, el 12 de octubre una fecha clave en América Latina. Cielo Zeitemberg es historiadora americanista, profesora del Departamento de Historia y Arqueología de la Universidad de Barcelona, profesora colaboradora de la UOC y miembro del Grupo de Investigación Andino Amazónico. Es también especialista en historia de Argentina y en los procesos de creación del Estado Nación y de creación de la identidad y autora de numerosas publicaciones. Cielo, cuando quieras, tienes tus 15, 20 minutos. Muchas gracias, espero que se esté poniendo bien. Bueno, muchas gracias por la invitación de estas jornadas, gracias Marta por la presentación. Me ha hecho especial ilusión participar en estas jornadas, porque encuentro una instancia de reflexión fundamental, debatir sobre cuestiones que muchas veces no terminan saliendo de lo que es el ámbito académico, cada uno hace el me culpa. Pero creo que son necesarios más debates, más cuestionamientos históricos en la sociedad en general, en la línea de Estefano, seguiremos cuestionando relatos. Entonces, bien... digamos, un gran interrogante que nos hacemos los historiadores americanistas es no tanto cómo llegó a constituirse la conmemoración del 12 de octubre de 1492 en jornada de reflexión, de protesta, de reivindicación, como ocurrió actualmente, sino como ese cambio no ocurrió antes y lo más importante, donde poner el énfasis en su vigorización, como jornada de resistencia, justamente para no seguir reproduciendo una lectura donde las comunidades originarias no estén en el centro, digamos, de este proceso. Ahora, lo que está claro es que diversos hechos históricos que fueron relevantes en el devenir del continente americano, por supuesto, generaron un trascendente cambio de percepción alrededor de dicha femeria. En algunos países del continente americano, por ejemplo, la fecha mágica, digamos, de los 500 años, o sea, en 1992, ha permitido, de alguna manera, cristalizar en gran parte de la población las demandas amerindias históricas, generando entonces, a través de ese símbolo de dicha femeria y de un sentido de pertenencia común con el resto de la región. Bien, aunque no sería, digamos... Aunque no es sumamente interesante y, por otro lado, no nos daría el tiempo aquí para hablar del contexto, la génesis e historia de esta femeril, sobre todo, queremos hablar un poco de su cambio. Por tanto, lo que quiero centrarme ahora en esta intervención, ya que, bueno, esta época y este ámbito en el que estamos digital, pero, bueno, un ámbito, digamos, extraacadémico, me voy a centrar en un bebé análisis sobre los usos políticos de la memoria a través de esta conmemoración y dar unas pistas, proponer algunas líneas sugerentes para comprender este hecho y su repercusión en América, ¿de acuerdo? Entonces, bueno, hay varios factores geopolíticos detrás de la institucionalización de fechas como la fiesta a nivel nacional, la América Latina, que ya sea por decreto, ya sea por leyes, dependiendo del país. Aparentemente, la iniciativa le habría tenido el gobierno de Irigoyen en 1917 en Argentina, digo aparentemente, porque, bueno, hay diferentes controversias, pero no se le ha dado mucha entidad, digamos, a estas controversias. Algunos dicen que la República Dominicana, bueno, no se lo discute mucho en día. Pero bueno, lo importante es, como decía, que estos factores geopolíticos que estaban detrás de la institucionalización de esta fecha, a inicios del siglo XX, habían determinadas bebidas, digamos, detrás de esta celebración del encuentro. ¿Cómo es celebrar, en primera instancia, la reconstrucción de una deseada supuesta hiberoamericanidad, al menos simbólica? Por otro lado, la presunción de que si la región no se unía a España y Portugal se corría el riesgo de una recolonización por los Estados Unidos. Y en tercer lugar, la exaltación, perdón, respecto a la posición geocultural de la península ibérica, como hacedora de puentes entre occidente y oriente entre norte y sur. Lo cierto es que esta fecha símbolo se introdujo en algunas agendas políticas de ciertos medios y también de ciertos medios de comunicación. Y, claro, su relevancia se destacó con un hito histórico del descubrimiento o de encuentro, como muchos llaman. Sin embargo, conforme se acercaba a 1992, la conmemoración de los 500 años de este momento se abrió, digamos, a una nueva arena global de disputas concretas, algunas, pero también de sentido. Concretamente, en 1991. ¿Por qué ese año? Bueno, hay dos autores que tienen un trabajo muy interesante, Mardones Charloni y Fernández Droguet. Ellos afirman que fue entonces, en 1991, cuando se gestó este contrafestijo, como una posición política, ya sea con alcances locales, nacionales, regionales e internacionales. Entonces, la institucionalización del 12 de octubre, que antes celebraba una matriz de idioma, religión, mestizaje, cultura entre España y América Latina, daba lugar, ahora, un movimiento de rechazo a dicha orquestación, donde justamente la condición de víctimas propició a los pueblos amerindios de la región como una fuerza política de un carácter más homógeno. Así, entonces, pueblos y comunidades originarias de América se organizaron para que conmemorara los 500 años de una resistencia indígena, tal como sostiene, vengo a un espacio ideal para que se pronunciaran aquellos que hasta entonces habían permanecido silenciados. Pasa el tiempo y en la medida en que los movimientos sociales indígenas fueron entramando textos públicos y autorizando reclamos de justicia y reparación histórica, no solo hicieron emergen en el campo de visibilidad, una nueva subjetividad política, sino que también fueron contando con un apoyo progresivo de una sociedad más amplia. ¿Qué pasó, entonces, en medio de este proceso? Sí, bien es cierto que en Costa Rica, ya para el año 1994 se pasó a conmemorar el 12 de octubre, como día de las culturas, haciendo alusión, entonces, aun con la composición social y cultural mundiénica del país. Lo cierto es que ocurre, digamos, el quiebre, de alguna manera, es lo leada de gobiernos de izquierda latinoamérica, en los 2000, especialmente con el ascenso de Evo Morales, el primer presidente, parte de la comunidad originaria de Bolivia, como máxima expresión, por supuesto, y se generaliza este cuestionamiento, pero desde el poder. Entonces, digamos, el nombre de esta celebración, que era, fundamentalmente, el día de la raza, como un acto significativo, como sostienen el profesor Contreras, pasa a ser cuestionado y a ver, digamos, un proceso de... o una intención por descolonizar el lenguaje. En Argentina, por ejemplo, durante el gobierno de Cristina Fernández, se cambió el día de la raza por el día del respeto por la diversidad cultural, y antes, en el 2004, una diputada, Alicia Castro, presentó un proyecto, atención, no ya para el 12 de octubre, pero para el 13 de octubre, para que se declarara como día de la resistencia indígena popular, simbólicamente el día posterior a esta fecha magna. Por otra parte, Rafael Correa, decretó en Ecuador que ese día de la raza pasara a llamarse día de la interculturalidad y la plurinacionalidad, los gobiernos de Daniel Ortega en Nicaragua, de Hugo Chávez en Venezuela, lo denominaron día de la resistencia indígena y, bueno, Evo Morales en Bolivia lo nombró día de la descolonización. En Perú celebran el día de los pueblos originarios y del diálogo intercultural. En Chile, también, una ley en el año 2000 modificó lo que habían, digamos, catalogado como día de encuentro de dos mundos y se declaraba no el 12 de octubre, no el 13 de octubre, sino el 11 de octubre como día de la reivindicación de los pueblos originarios. El día antes a la fecha magna, no? Me gusta, digamos, me parece relevante, interesante este cambio de conmemoraciones en los días previos y posterios. Finalmente, sin una connotación en nombre indio, en el 2009 en Chile prosperó el día 12 de octubre como día de respeto a la diversidad cultural, no? Por ahí no tan reivindicativo. Sin embargo, no toda Latinoamérica se ha sumado a este cambio. Colombia, Panamá o El Salvador mantienen la denominación del día de la raza y en Estados Unidos se sigue celebrando el día de Colom, Colom Museum, aunque obviamente es verdad que decenas de estados y ciudades se están eliminando esta celebración y reemplazándola por denominaciones que me anejean a los pueblos nativos. Ahora bien, quiero detenerme en otra cuestión que me parece relevante también para entender este cambio de paradigma de la efemérida. Y es que antes de ese cambio legislativo, digamos, antes de estos secretos y de cambios de nombre, por eso al inicio decía, ¿quién ponemos en el centro? ¿Cuál es el actor político en estas movilizaciones y en estos cambios de paradigma? Antes de este cambio legislativo, antes de este cambio formal de nomenclatura de ese día, lo cierto es que las manifestaciones de resistencia indígena comenzaron mucho antes. Justamente también en Santiago de Chile, la marcha conmemorativa del 12 de octubre se realizó por primera vez en 1991. Entonces, la elección de la fecha a conmemorar se buscó para sensibilizar a la sociedad respecto a los 500 años de conquista y un poco más, ahora, a on daré en eso. Entonces, rememorar este año, un año antes, la fecha permitía afianzar la preparación de una plataforma de lucha conjunta en torno a una serie de derechos indígenas. Es decir, vienen calentando motores. Bien, en varios países de América Latina, entonces, entre 1991 y 1992, se crearon diferentes comités para organizar la conmemoración de los 500 años de conquista, con una forma también de visibilizar demandas y reivindicaciones de estas comunidades, paralelamente a las grandes conmemoraciones del encuentro, se gestan estas conmemoraciones de reivindicaciones y demandas y resistencias. Lo que quiero dejar claro, entonces, es que antes de recogerse legislativamente el cambio de nombre, insisto mucho en esto, el cambio de nombre de esta conmemoración del 12 de octubre, fue a partir de la década de los 90's que lo étnico emergió con un fuerte e inesperado, incluso, empuje. La irrupción del movimiento zapatista con el alzamiento del ejército zapatista de liberación nacional, el discurso elaborado posteriormente, el marcado acento multicultural contenido en los acuerdos de Paz-Gualtemal-Tecos, la articulación y el protagonismo de las confederaciones de organizaciones indígenas en Ecuador y Perú, la intensa movilización de las organizaciones en Saímaras y Quechos en Bolivia, también la presencia organizativa de los Mapuches en Chile, y el impacto mediático de algunos líderes de distintos pueblos amazónicos en Brasil, Ecuador, Guayanas, Venezuela, Perú, Colombia... Todo esto es una pequeña... Pequeña, ¿no? Todo esto es una muestra de la trascendencia que había ido cobrando ese fenómeno. La emergencia, entonces, de este movimiento indigenista como actor político, ocurrió fruto de la conjunción de múltiples factores. Entonces, no es solamente los 500 años del choque de civilizaciones que de repente produjo un despertar civilizatorio, no, sino la continua resistencia por la supervivencia de los pueblos indígenas en los diferentes escenarios históricos, conquista, colonización, independencias y repúblicas. Esto es lo que impulsó y dimensionó las movilizaciones activas. Finalmente, en la primera década del siglo XXI, se plasmó a nivel legislativo ese cambio de nombre, siendo gran cantidad de movimientos de izquierda y también, sirviendo el aporte de académicos revisionistas, aquello que propició estas investigaciones sobre cómo nos referimos a esta fecha. Pero también sobre cómo nos referimos a la totalidad del proceso de conquista. ¿Cuáles son, entonces, las reivindicaciones simbólicas, pero también concretas? En estas manifestaciones que se realizan a partir de estos... de su origen hasta nuestros días, se reivindica la lucha amerindia de los pueblos de Abayala, en general, con la participación de distintas partenencias. Se reivindica la resistencia indígena año tras año se suman demandas también secoyunturales, de acuerdo al país y también de acuerdo a la condición de estas comunidades. Se reivindica la criminalización y discriminación de estos pueblos. Así, todos los años se levantan demandas también particulares en medio de la mantención de demandas históricas, como el reconocimiento a autonomía y territorio de los pueblos amerindios. Por otro lado, y poco a poco, se ha ido visibilizando también la situación de estos pueblos que fueron exterminados por el Estado y una ocasión perfecta. Fue la celebración de los bicentenarios, que todavía seguimos en la celebración de los bicentenarios. Y también, digamos, la independencia y estos estados y posteriormente estados nacionales, también como un momento de quiebre y de reivindicación. Un ejemplo es la llamada, mal llamada, bueno, tengo diferentes colegas que lo nombran de diferentes formas, pero la conquista del desierto, donde se exterminaron comunidades originarias en la Patagonia, manos de militares en la República, que buscaron hacer efectiva la conquista de la Tierra para ser puestas al servicio del capital inversor. Esta avanzada republicana en el territorio del Chaco Paraguayo, también, o de la región de la Amazonía, es tomada por estos movimientos como reivindicación, no solo los 500 años de conquista y colonización. Entonces, en la progresión de la celebración de esta fecha del 12 de octubre, se terminan, como les digo, articulando diferentes protestas y reclamos. Son denunciados la conquista, el genocidio, el expolio por parte de las metrópolis europeas. Son denunciadas las historias hegemónicas, el relato, digamos, construido, esto que hablaron mis colegas, construido por los proyectos de las nuevas repúblicas, también, que crearon y reprodujeron estados nacionales excloyentes y discriminatorios. También resultan claves las reivindicaciones de las condiciones actuales de pobreza, de explotación, de violencia política y física, que siguen sufriendo los pueblos octóctonos en defensa de su territorio y sus derechos. Frente, ya no, podríamos decir, a imperios clásicos, sino frente a empresas oligopolios y gobiernos de turno que permiten leyes abusivas y que miran hacia otro costado en lo que tiene que ver con economías extractivistas y perjudiciales para el medio ambiente y para la población. Bien, voy a ir, digamos, haciendo unas breves líneas, digamos, de conclusión. Las culturas amerindias del siglo XV compartieron un destino de dolor, sí, pero al mismo tiempo de resistencia. El proceso histórico de su alternización paulatinamente fue posicionando a los diversos grupos en una lucha común, quienes comenzaron a demandar ya no sólo ciertas garantías, tierras, subsidios, etcétera, sino reivindicaciones de usos y costumbres propias, soberanía, reconocimiento y, fundamentalmente, participación política, que terminan expresándose de alguna manera y visibilizándose cada 12 de octubre. Desde comienzos de la última década del siglo XX, entonces los 500 años de vino a esta fórmula expresiva de este contexto particular, uno en el que fueron emergiendo conceptos, nuevos sentidos, metáforas y también relectura de los procesos históricos y la formación de alteridades hegemónicas. Ahora quiero terminar con esta idea. El 12 de octubre simboliza un evento significativo del pasado, que adquiere relevancia en este presente, y desde la convicción social y política encierra, creemos que encierra el compromiso de volverse significativo para la comunidad futura. En la mayor parte de los países latinoamericanos, las comunidades originarias y un amplio sector de los movimientos sociales reivindican esta fecha como una conmemoración de lucha, pero también como un día de reflexión. Una reflexión, esta reflexión, digamos, no sólo trata de andar en lo que pasó hace 500 años, sino de reflexionar sobre por qué aquel sistema se sigue perpetuando y se sigue reproduciendo para estas comunidades. Podemos remarcar en esta línea que la colonización persiste en el lenguaje, ¿no? Muchos autores atraviesan, digamos, este análisis. Persiste en el lenguaje, en las relaciones sociales, en las jerarquías y subordinaciones que controlan al continente y que siguen rigiendo. Se sigue rigiendo por una stratificación social fundamentada en el color de la piel, también por la tendencia a leuracentrismo. Y sí que estoy convencida de que esta práctica de reflexión y de cuestionamiento es un elemento, esta práctica de reflexión y cuestionamiento desde América Latina es un elemento para proyectar y aportar a España y al resto del mundo. Y acabo con esto. Siempre estoy anunciando que acabo y al final no acabo nunca, pero ahora sí de verdad. La experta de Survival International surallaba que la celebración del 12 de octubre se presta a la misma retórica de ganar una guerra y de perpetuar como hace España, llamándolo Día de la Hispánida, un modelo de orgullo negando lo que pasó en la realidad. Ella dice, ¿sería impensable que antiguos imperios como el británico o el dominio francés celebraran un día de la colonización? Muchas gracias. Muchas gracias, Cielo, también por cumplir tu tiempo. Si os parece, podemos ponernos los cuatro en pantalla, porque hay como preguntas ya cruzadas para los cuatro ponentes, y así yo creo que podemos abrir más como un turno de conversación. Ahí solo nos falta. Perfecto. Ups, hay alguien que no está. Escuchándote y escuchando también el relato de José Luis Claro, yo como directora de Casa América Cataluña, nosotros siempre explicamos que la casa, que es americanista, precisamente nace en un momento en el cual se reivindica... Nosotros reivindicamos el americanismo, no el hispanismo. O sea, la diferencia está en un momento en el cual se pierden las colonias, uno se decide mirar de tú a tú a América y no mirarla verticalmente, que es más el concepto hispanista. Pero aún con eso es como que siempre uno o una, cuando viaja, a veces debe disculparse por ser española. Y eso me parece también, yo siempre tengo la misma respuesta. Siempre digo, bueno, quizás fueron tus abuelos, tus bisabuelos, porque yo estoy en España, tú estás aquí. Hay un punto de hibridación en América que muchas veces en el relato actual no se quiere identificar. Y eso me parece bastante fascinante también. Yo recuerdo... Marta, disculpa un segon. Sí? Sí, sóc al regal. L'Estefano em sembla que està compartint la seva pantalla i veiem tots els seus fons de pantalla. Vale, Estefano. Estàs compartint la seva pantalla. No has de compartir pantalla, no sé què has de fer, però perquè estem tots veient aquest quadro fantàstic. Ja, ja, ja, i no sé com has de fer el que he fet. No saps com has de fer el que has fet. No. Algú li pot explicar com pot de fer el que ha fet? Tens un botó... Ah, sí? Tens un botó abans, que és ShareScreen, un botó verd, i en aquest botó, en teoria, pots deixar de compartir. Sí? Una nova funció. Ah, verà. Faig aquí jo una ràpidament amb una imatge que no té res a veure, i així ja està. Vale. Una publicitat. Vale, perfecte. I, bueno, estava explicant això. Me'n recordo que parlant amb l'escriptor Gonzalo Celor, jo no ell m'he dec que moltes vegades les seves estudiants reivindicaven el fet de la repoblació originària, no? I ell deia, bueno, molt bé, doncs vam parlar en Náhuatl. No? O sigui, aquí. O sigui, a partir d'ara, hablemos en Náhuatl, no? I a l'hora, també, escoltant també reflexionava sobre la setmana passada que vam estar amb un grup de teatre peruar, el grup Julian Iskatski i una joiescànica, treballant molt al tema de la memòria, però de la memòria indígena, la memòria meríndia, i ens deien que per ells el text és una imposició colonial. Llavors, quan fan teatre, tenen que, diguéssim, saltar aquest pas que per ells es tindrà que treballar amb un text, perquè el text, com a tal, l'escriptura és una imposició colonial. Llavors, clar, és com que, realment, quan comença a parlar i d'aquests temes, pot anar baixant amb molts estratos, no hi has fet quedar com molt sobtat. Igualment, una pregunta, i ara passaria les preguntes que tenim aquí, que ja en tenim forces, el president m'ha dit que demana que a Espanya demani perdó. Creieu, diguéssim, que la història s'ha de perpetuar així, o sigui que ha passat 500 anys, un país de demana perdó per el que es va fer 500 anys enrere, quan realment són moments molt diferents i responen a moments molt diferents? Qui contesta? Si vull dir. Jo tinc una resposta, però estic una mica fora de tema. A mi em sembla per una banda absurd demanar perdó, que és el que falta dedicar a l'església de Tornemquant, demanar perdó per haver censurat Galileo, per haver cremat Tomàs Campanella, o cosa d'aquestes. El que em sembla assegnat és visió crítica. És a dir, com deia la Cielo, no sé qui parla en d'un dia de l'espanyol. No podem fer responsables els espanyols d'avui del que va fer Pizarro o Felipe II. Però també, com surt molt bé del discurs de José Luis, hi ha una perpetuació des del segle XIII, XIV, XV i XVI d'Espanya amb situacions actuals, em sembla, de l'estat espanyol, doncs el que s'hauria de demanar és consciència. No tant perdó. Però, a veure, què estem fent, o què estem fent, o què s'està fent en aquests dies, en què s'han d'enjuntar dos continents i dos móns, i per aquí se segueix reivindicant la difusió de la civilització, del cristianisme i d'altres coses a Sud-Amèrica, per exemple. Sí, sí, és... ¿Me permites, Sèl, si a mi me gustaría decir alguna cosa en relación con esto, una vez en el proceso de normalización de Sudáfrica, le preguntaron al artobispo des Montutu que sí, efectivamente, él, como hombre de iglesia, no estaba inclinado a dar el perdón a los que habían desplegado el apartheid. Y des Montutu dijo, sí, yo estoy inclinado, efectivamente, a entregar el perdón a quienes hicieron el apartheid, pero antes quiero saber la verdad de lo que pasó. Yo creo que lo que nos compete a nosotros, como ciudadanos actuales, es comprometernos seriamente con la verdad y ayudar a buscarla de manera cooperativa con la otra parte de la verdad, no solamente con lo que hicieron los españoles allá, sino buscar la verdad en conversación, muchas veces muy delicada y muy difícil, porque tendremos que escuchar cosas realmente problemáticas, con aquellos que estuvieron en la otra parte de la acción española. Y en segundo lugar, quisiera decir algo muy breve, es que hay que comprender la lógica de los poderes españoles, que es una lógica muy peculiar, que consiste en cuanto más débiles pueden estar, más grandiosas parecen las acciones. El 12 de octubre se celebra por primera vez, por primera vez en España, en 1892. En 1892 habían tenido lugar las batallas más terribles en Cuba, y Cuba prácticamente estaba perdida. Y sin embargo, los poderes en Madrid organizan una gran cabalgata que atravesó completamente la ciudad llena de todo tipo de personas, cogidas de los circos, vestidas de indios o de lo que es ellos, debían pensar que eran indígenas, para, efectivamente, compensar lo que está a punto de pasar, iba a pasar seis años después, con un gran aparato que en el fondo no es, sino una vez más el tapí de las maravillas, cervantinas, que lo que está encubriendo realmente es una derrota definitiva de ese imperio. Es muy importante que ese día se va a América justo por el gran momento de hispaniofilia que las élites criollas ponen en circulación para el centenario. Y es algo que en España tiene una función estrictamente compensatoria y de tapar las vergüenzas, lo que he recogido por unas élites criollas que se legitiman verdaderamente con su dimensión hispánica y que tienen un extrato civilizatorio que van a lanzar contra las minorías indígenas, que, por supuesto, no están en condiciones de seguir ese proceso. Por lo tanto, es muy importante darnos cuenta que la isometría, esto es el hecho de que en España hay clases que están muy vinculadas a legitimarse con ese relato histórico, se reproduce también en América y que en España hay clases populares que han vivido de espalda a todo este tipo de relato y que, naturalmente, han padecido de un modo muy semejante a esos poderes de la misma manera que los indígenas han padecido allí los poderes criollos. Sin olvidarnos también de la tercera raíz como lo en México, no de África, que es una realidad también súper constituyente de América, y que, digamos, eso se lo deben también a las almas de los indígenas que había que saltar y entonces llevamos esclavos. África ya era un constituyente antes de América porque el gran negocio de la expansión por el norte de África y por la costa occidental, el gran negocio era la esclavitud y lo despliegan los portugueses y los castellanos antes de que África sea conocida. África es un constituyente de Europa, fundamentalmente, y va a América en tanto que es un constituyente de Europa. Seguramente no, cielen todas estas reivindicaciones, siguen siendo esa parte olvidada. Están mucho más legitimados los pueblos originarios que los herederos de África, que no son originarios de América, pero están ahí desde generaciones y generaciones. Sí, y también pienso que... bueno, no lo podemos analizar ni lo podemos interpretar como algo en ahí, no el despertar de una reivindicación también es bastante... por estas élites que ya no son criollas, pero también por ciertos sectores de poder, es de alguna manera manipulado ese discurso, cuando hay lecciones, etcétera, etcétera. Eso está ahí, también, digamos. Pero lo que tú habías dicho, Marta, de qué momento histórico estamos y qué tenemos que hacer con esterencia, ¿no? ¿Qué tenemos que hacer con esta patata caliente que nos quema la mano y que nadie se quiera hacer cargo, pedir perdón, hacernos el jaraquí, y bueno, ¿qué hacemos? Pero en esta cuestión que mencionaba Stefano y José Luis, de, bueno, conocer, tomar conciencia, ¿no? Me acuerdo que hace... esto es una anécdota muy cortita, pero hace unos cuantos años fui a dar una charla a un... digamos, a un ENG que hacían viajes, creo que a la Amazonía, para, bueno, ayudar a ciertas comunidades, gente de aquí que tomaba sus vacaciones y hacía esto. Se acuerdan que hace muchos años estuvo de moda este tipo de vacaciones, ¿no? Y entonces, les daba, yo como por sentado, muy rápido, una clase de historia de América, de la conquista de vacunización a la República. Me acuerdo a terminar, no se estaba viendo, me acuerdo a terminar, levantar la vista, estaban todos con la boca abierta, ¿no? Como, eso hicimos nosotros, ¿no? Primero en nosotros, ¿viste? Le llevársela a mano al pecho y decir, nosotros. Bueno, ya hay todo un cuestionamiento, pero estaban tan compugidos que mi única, digamos, feedback que les pude dar fue como... miren, ya no sé si es momento de autoflagelarnos o de echarnos las pulpas. En todo caso, para mí, la única solución que hay aquí es saber, entender, conocer, tomar conciencia y, a partir de ahí, como bien tú, Marta, has dicho, dejar de mirar por encima del hombro, dejar de mirar en una jerarquización de continentes, de sociedades y mirarnos de tú a tú, ¿no? Aunque eso, como dicen José Prisci, nos puede acostar, ¿no? Pero bueno. Tengo ahí algunas preguntas de público, espera que voy a anterior para abajo. Hay una para Estefa, ¿no? Esa patata caliente, ¿no? Que decía... Hay dos. Hay... Se reivindica, ¿no? La primera es creus que amb ilbeny manteig o, realment, es creu allò que diu. I si vols, també faig la segona i potser pots contestar les dues juntes. Com és possible? Digue'm, digue'm. Jo les he vist, però potser pels altres. Sí, sí. Com és possible que les teories disbarats, entre cometes, és el Jordi Barra-Panielo, de l'Institut Nova Història, tinguin tanta acceptació en una part important de la societat i en alguns moments, més i tot, recolzament institucional o atenció als mitjans de comunicació? Vale, la primera és molt ràpida. El principi, quan havien entrat vents en el que escriuen, pensava que potser s'ho creia, tant el Jordi Vilbeny i segurament altres de l'Institut Nova Història s'ho creuen, el que diuen. Ara, haver entrat una mica més en profunditat, sobretot del Vilbeny i del Colom, es menteix, s'ha d'haver de mentir. La manipulació està feta expressament. D'això no tinc cap dubte, ara com ara. Després m'he estat barallant per Facebook i per altres mitjans i tots els del llibre per Twitter que jo no tinc i per altres, amb defensors a ultrança de l'Institut Nova Història, tot i no forma part de l'Institut Nova Història i d'una velligitres, ni els escrites de la Nova Història, ni el nostre llibre contra, l'abseu d'història. La gran defensa és, i això porta en part a contestar la segona, és que hi ha una acceptació o una difusió general a cert nivell de la llibertat del fet que l'acadèmia és constrictora i impedeix buscar noves vies d'interpretació que correspon el que diu l'Institut Nova Història, que hi ha la censura i que l'acadèmia catalana és prona a les veritats castellanes i a la historiografia oficial, doncs és una colla de traïdors. L'acceptació pública ve d'aquesta proclivitat de molta gent a acceptar les teories de la conspiració, ve segurament d'una certa frustració de la societat catalana, de cara a l'independència i de cara a l'ignorància, en el fons, que hi ha una gran ignorància per part dels catalans de quina és la història del país, medieval, antigues i tota la que sigui, per a diverses i eventuals raons, perquè no s'ha estudiat a l'epòleg franquisme i tampoc s'ha estudiat gaire o molt bé ara. Amb la qual tot això de reivindicar, de sentir-se grans i importants, ha portat a acceptar teories de la nova història. Veig també per part de gent que no les ha llegit senzillament, ha sentit a dir alguna cosa i li sembla bueno, perquè no. I el recorrement institucional i els mitjans de comunicació en part hi ha perquè tenen contactes. Hi ha membres de l'institut que tenen contactes a TV3 i altres televisions, en la qual han pogut colar tranquil·lament programes i per altra banda també tenen o tenien càrrecs importants, per exemple, a l'Assemblea Nacional Catalana, amb la qual han tingut possibilitat de influir sobre diferents nivells de poder tan local com per muntar-se xiringuitos com a diferents àmbits. La base és l'ignorància. Desgracidament, el fet que no hi hagi una transmissió de saber, científic, no parlo d'acadèmic, científic, ni entre el gran públic, ni encara menys a l'escola, fa que teories com aquestes, però el món està ple de teories, de teories disparatades com l'Organització Nova Història, que no es prosperin. Sobretot el desconeixement, realment per a Història, perquè, per exemple, si s'escolta el jocsulisme, tampoc hi ha moltes ganes de fer-se seva aquesta història. Realment és com assumir un relat que no és per convertir-lo en per catalanitzar-lo, quan, a la meitat, si es conegués el reat real de la colonització d'Amèrica, ningú el voldria ser. Després, clarament, hi ha cap conseqüència de les conseqüències del que s'està assumint. Gràcies. Jo sí me permites, Marta. Sí, sí, por favor. Creo que uno de los síntomas más específicos de la cultura que hemos atravesado... Aquí, yo diría que todos los pueblos penínsulares, posiblemente no Portugal, pero es que tenemos muchos síntomas que reflejan un problema central con la historia, y que es algo que no viene de ahora, sino que, en el fondo, ha consistido en una cultura, en una cultura que esencialmente procede de un mundo católico, que ve como un gesto de soberbia escribir sobre la historia de los hombres. Pero que en el fondo ha venido muy bien para mantener la historia como secreto de estado. Esto se ve muy bien en el más importante historiador castellano, que es Mariana. Mariana, en el final del siglo XVI, escribe la única historia de España que va a estar en vigor, hasta mi infancia, pero la historia de España tiene que acabar con Juan II de Castilla, de Aragón, sencillamente porque Mariana, un siglo después, no podía escribir sobre Fernando el católico. Esto testimonia, con toda claridad, que el poderoso, los poderes hispánicos... Yo me atreveré a decir, después de Martín I, el humano, que quería hacer permanentemente historia del presente, no han querido hacer historia, ni han querido expresar su experiencia de poder en la historia. Y esto ha generado esa dimensión fantasmal construible que tiene la historia para muchos ciudadanos de nuestros países. Y creo que esto es lo que le da una completa constructividad. Porque cuando alguien tiene una tradición, no puede construir cualquier cosa, pero cuando no se tiene tradición, se puede comenzar por cualquier sitio sin ningún tipo de coacción ni de obstáculo, creyendo que el pasado es humo y se puede configurar al arbitro de cualquiera. Creo que esto tiene mucho que ver con la profunda sensación de ilegitimidad de los poderes hispánicos a lo largo del tiempo. Y esto es lo que les bloquea a la hora de ser transparentes y organizar realmente su experiencia. La última anécdota para acabar. Cuando se hacía la historia de España de Menéndez Pidal, se supone que lo mejor. Menéndez Pidal fue a hablar al ministro en aquel tiempo, hacia el año 1945. No recuerdo al ministro que era Ivánies. Y le dice, mire, vamos a llegar al siglo XII y necesitamos contar con el historiador más importante que conoce el siglo XII, que es Sánchez Albornot. Y Menéndez Pidal le dijo, pero por el amor de Dios, no podemos. No podemos contar con el presidente de la República en el exilio. Menéndez Pidal se enfadó y le dijo, pero, señor ministro, vamos a hacer el ridículo, el único prestigioso realmente en este siglo, es Sánchez Albornot. ¿Qué vamos a hacer si no es don con don Claudio? El ministro dijo con toda desvergüenza. Don Ramón, no me venga usted con prestigios. Mandamos a uno de esos chicos de Calvo Serer a Alemania, a un instituto de los jesuítas, que escriba una tési doctoral. Le publicamos tres segundas en el ABC y ahí tiene usted el prestigio. Esta desvergüenza respecto de la verdad, propias de poderes i legítimos, es lo que genera un pueblo entero incapaz, no sólo de conocer su propia historia, sino de tener que elaborarla mediante todo tipo de paranoias que en el fondo tienen su manifestación en toda la época de la historia. Esta nueva historia que cuenta Estefano es verdaderamente pura paranoia, no es otra cosa, pero forma parte de este mundo funambulesco que tienen los pueblos que maldice a los pueblos que no han tenido verdaderamente historia continua de su propio presente. Gracias, José Luis. Tengo una pregunta para Celeste también en el canal que dice... Ahí, Celeste Cielo, perdona. Para ti, Cielo, hay lugares concretos, monumentos, espacios memoriales, donde se llevan a cabo las commemoraciones del Día de la Resistencia Indígena. Pongo el micrónfono. Sí, hay una cuestión que no... que, digamos, quedó pendiente, ¿no? Y es esta... que parece, quizás, que no es relevante, ¿no? ¿Qué países... para qué países se celebra esta, digamos, esta festividad como una fiesta nacional, o sea, digamos, como fiesta, otros que lo celebran, pero sin un parón nacional y otros que no lo celebran en absoluto. Son... estos días de las Resistencias Indígenas, son, digamos, conmemorados en ciudades, en pueblos, hay diferentes, obviamente, intensidades, pero básicamente pasan por cuestiones de actividades culturales, de files, representaciones teatrales, conciertos, ¿no?, la música, la danza. También suelen, digamos, las comunidades, junto con la sociedad que no pertenece a la comunidad original, pero se suelen poner, digamos, los trajes típicos. Y, bueno, la comida se venden en puestos ambulantes, digamos, diferentes tipos de objetos de las mismas comunidades. En Ecuador se celebra en el Parque Ichin... a ver si me sale. Ichinbía, Ichinbía, muchos de estas, ya, de estas, digamos, celebración, conmemoración. No me gusta tanto llamar las celebraciones como conmemoraciones. Digamos, o sea, está mediatizado también por una organización de alguna manera ministerial. Por ejemplo, el Ministerio para los Pueblos Indígenas en Venezuela organiza muchas de estas marchas de resistencia en diferentes calles, digamos, del centro. En Perú, el Gran Camino de Linka, ¿no?, también es un espacio importante desde donde reivindicar simbólicamente. En Lugay, por ejemplo, se pintan, se adornan, diferentes... no ya las calles, sino diferentes instituciones. Y después hay países que lo celebran, pero no son festivos, Colombia, El Salvador, por ejemplo. Y bueno, países que no lo celebran en absoluto, digamos, como Panamá, Brasil o Cuba. Es curioso, pero bueno, hay esa diversidad, diferentes intensidades y cada vez encontramos más simbología, monumentos, digamos. Pero bueno, lo importante es también el movimiento, no tanto la estatua, ¿no?, que ya no sobran estatua, no faltan movimientos. Entonces, de alguna manera, eso es lo más relevante. Pues muchísimas gracias, Cielo. Me están diciendo que ya tendríamos que cerrar la mesa. Hay una pregunta, yo no sé si se puede responder muy rápido, porque me la ha enviado tres veces, pero si no se puede responder muy rápido, me lo dices tú, José Luis. ¿Cuáles son las razones concretas del éxito del libro de Rocavara en España? En cierto modo lo he explicado con el ejemplo de Mené de Epidal. Creo que la razón del éxito de este libro es que era una operación de Estado y que estaba implicado pues en ella poderes muy importantes, medio de comunicación muy fuertes, políticos que son verdaderamente decisivos en la historia reciente de España y cosas por el estilo. Pero tiene poco misterio desde ese punto de vista dada la cantidad de poderes que lo han apoyado. Pues muchas gracias, muchas gracias a los tres. Creo que Cielo ha tenido que marcharse, pero bueno, vosotros todavía estáis aquí, pero ya tenemos que disparar de mesa. Ha sido un verdadero placer. Yo la verdad es que continuaría, pero porque hay. Se puede seguir hablando, hilando, hilando, hilando, hilando. Pero me parece muy pertinente, digamos, traer esto a debate y sobre todo revelar la verdad o las verdades. Y oír todas las voces y eso de respirar la historia pues es difícil, pero a veces también es pertinente. Y la pugna del relato yo creo que también es algo muy del siglo XXI. Entonces, muchas gracias por vuestros aportes y muchas gracias por la mesa. Muchísimas gracias a vosotros. Ha sido un placer. Igualmente, igualmente. Adiós. Adiós. Gràcies, Marta, també. Ciao. Ciao, gracias.

No one ever confronts me about this stuff. My family never, like, talked about this. Welcome to part two of my pre-recorded series while I'm on vacation. I've done a video in the past like this where I just talk about stupid things I thought as a kid. And I have a lot, actually. And they don't come to me every day. It takes, like, three months to make this list because I have to go through my daily routine of life. We all know that shit is fucking hard. Now, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I was, like, the butter knife of family when I was a kid, and I think I still am. So don't judge me so hard, please. Okay? Be nice. No one ever confronts me about this stuff. My family never, like, talked about this. I had to learn this shit on the internet, or, like, my friends would just be like, Frediger, You're a fucking idiot. Why would you think that? Judgement-free zone, okay? But anyways, here are some more stupid shit that I thought as a kid. When I was eating gingerbread cookies on Christmas, it came to me that when I was a kid, I convinced myself that gingerbread did not have ginger in it. And my reasoning was because ginger tasted so fucking bad, and I still hate it. It tastes like shit. Go ahead and go Gordon Ramsay on my ass, but it doesn't. I don't like it. So little Fredrick was like, Mm, this gingerbread is sweet. No way it has ginger in it. It's just something they call it. Nope. When I go to try to make cookies, the first fucking ingredient is ginger. You know when people tell you to not look at the sun or else you go blind? I knew that, but I also convinced myself that if I looked at the sun through a picture, it would also make me go blind. And don't know why. I don't know what my little brain was thinking, but I didn't want to go blind, okay? I'm already vision impaired. I didn't really know CGI was a thing back in like the early 2000s. I also didn't know that acting was a real job. You know where I'm going with this. So when people died in movies, I thought they really died. Put that in your mind for a second. When animals died in movies, I thought they really killed those animals. When Jurassic fucking Park came out, I thought that velociraptors were real. I thought they were being held in like Area 51 or something and they were using them for the movie. Oh my God. Go ahead, roast me in the comments already. I'll take it. And lastly, I thought earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes and tornadoes and all the natural disasters that happened were real in movies. Goodbye, everybody. This one isn't really what I thought as a kid. This happened in ninth grade, which was last year. It just came out and I was like, you know what? I'm going to get a good skincare routine because gays like to take care of their skin. Don't don't even think about judging my skin right now. OK, it's been a bad year. Finals fucked me up. So I was looking around my house because my sister lived with me at the time and I noticed that there were baby wipes on the toilet and my head put together baby wipes. Oh, so babies can use them, which is probably why their butt is so soft. Maybe I can use baby wipes on my face and have that really soft. I wiped my face for a clean month until my sister saw my backpack that I had fucking baby wipes in it and she was like, Freddie, what are you doing? Put that shit back on the toilet. What are you doing, mister? And I was like, oh, shit, my sister told me. Glad she lived, though, because honestly I would have kept on doing it. This is even worse because I learned the reality in tenth grade. I thought that New England was England. Don't ask me why. I don't know how my brain thinks of this stuff, OK? History's always been my worst subject and I barely pay attention, so I didn't really know that Puritans fucking fled from England and made New England by coming here. I think this area that I live in is basically New England. Watch me get that wrong as well. But yeah, I put Great Britain, England and New England all in the same category because I thought old England meant like, oh, England back in the old days, like 1700s. And the moment I realized was after I put New England on an AP test. You know what that does to you? Fucks you up and you gotta be minus as an average. More stuff about natural disasters. You know when it's fall and you see like leaves twirling around on the road, like going in circular motions? I thought that was the birth of a tornado. When the leaves start twirling, I thought that mental tornado was about to sprout off from the ground. Yes, I thought it came from the ground as well. And kill me. So I always ran from it. Another thing about earthquakes, since I thought the earthquakes in movies were real, they're always like really dramatic and how they like split the earth so much that lava comes out. I thought that happens every time in an earthquake. So I'd see like old cracks on the road and be like, mom, is that like a old earthquake? And she'd just be like, what the fuck are you thinking, Frederick? Like I'm not gonna pay attention to my little child. I'm gonna stay on the road and get to my Macy's. One thing that many kids are inspired by are cartoons. SpongeBob was one of my favorite shows at the time and still is. And you know, in the show, SpongeBob blows a bunch of bubbles around and like usually things end up inside the bubbles. So I thought that if you threw things into bubbles, they'd be in the bubbles. So four weeks straight, I told my dad, like, can we buy some bubbles? And I'd just be throwing like rocks into bubbles, trying to get it inside to see it float off because I didn't know what fucking gravity was. And lastly, the creme de la creme. I think that means like best of the best. I don't know. We were reading Richard Third this year in class. You know, you read in the history books, talking about like Richard the third, Louis the fourth, Henry the eighth, blah, blah, blah. And I thought Richard the third meant he was the third Richard born in the world. He was the third person in the whole world to be named Richard. I'm gonna end it there. If you enjoyed, give this video a like, leave a comment down below and ready to subscribe because it fills viewers every Saturday. Please comment something you thought was a kid so I don't feel as bad anymore. I love you guys and everything is lesson three. Peace.

World population has finally reached 8 billion. In the last 1 billion, around 177 million was contributed by India alone. In this background, there has been increasing debates going on in India about its population policy. To understand about the dynamics of all of it, you need to know about total fertility rate. Watch this video to know about total fertility rate and also about the concept of stabilization rate. The total fertility rate of the population is referred as the total number of children born or likely to be born to a woman in her lifetime. Here, the lifetime indicates the woman's child-bearing years, which is roughly between the ages of 15 to 49 years. Now let's understand about replacement level fertility. See, it is the level of fertility at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next. This replacement level fertility also indicates population stability. See, the total fertility rate of about 2.1 children per woman is called replacement level fertility. Here, 2.1 is the rate at which the population stability is achieved. Here also note that the total fertility rate lower than 2.1 children per woman indicates that a generation is not producing enough children to replace itself. So, this eventually will lead to an outright reduction in population. Let's take the case of two East Asian nations here. See, Japan and South Korea are facing this situation right now. Presently, South Korea's total fertility rate is only 0.7. If it gets continued for some more years, then there will be a huge old age population in the country with very little young population. This is all about the total fertility rate and the replacement level fertility rate. Now, we will see about India's total fertility rate. India's total fertility rate has declined from 2.2 in 2015-16 to 2.0 in 2019-21. See, this trend was revealed by the report of the fifth round of National Family Health Survey which was released in May 2022. Note that this decline is indicating the significant progress of population control measures taken by the government. As we all know, total fertility rate of 2.1 is considered as the replacement level fertility rate at which population stability is achieved. In India, this replacement level fertility rate is achieved by many states. But according to the National Family Health Survey, there are wide inter-regional variations between the states present in India. There are five states which still have not achieved a replacement level fertility of 2.1. These five states are Bihar, Mahalaya, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Manipur. Now, let's see very briefly about the evolution of total fertility rate over the past three decades in India. The total fertility rate trend in India between 1992 and 2021 declined from 3.4 to 2.0 respectively. In that, total fertility rate among women in rural areas has declined from 3.7 to 2.1. The corresponding decline among women in urban areas was from 2.7 to 1.6. This is all about the evolution of total fertility rate over the past three decades in India.

I'll be happy to reply to you. The sites I'm gonna share with you right now actually cover thousands of different things. I mean, every topic you can imagine, from art history to photography to economics to online marketing, you name it, it'll be in the sites that I'm gonna share with you right now. Now, the first one I wanna share with you is a site called Coursera. You can choose from over 2,700 online courses on Coursera. Some courses are backed by universities and can lead to actual degrees, while others give students the tools to master a specific skill. Next one I wanna talk about is Creative Live. Creative Live. Check it out. Creative Live broadcasts free live classes with the world's top experts in photography, business, design, craft, and also audio. Instructors include New York Times contributor, Victoria Will and entrepreneur, Tim Ferris. You can actually join over 16 million learners in highly actionable online classes backed by Harvard, MIT, and other prestigious institutions from around the world. Some courses here are taken just for the love of learning while others can earn you a degree certificate or a lot of money. Next one up is Khan University. Check it out. This nonprofit offers free online courses that students tackle at their own pace, okay? So you can do it as you feel like doing it. The classes cover most subjects through high school levels and some courses dip into early college content. The next site I wanna tell you about is MIT's OpenCourseWare. Now, Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the most prestigious universities in the US, but did you know you can access many of its learning materials absolutely free? You won't get a degree or anything like that, but you can follow along with MIT classes through the OpenCourseWare project. That's pretty cool, right? The next site I wanna tell you about is Udemy. Udemy is all about options. Students choose from over 130,000 online courses which cover a broad range of courses and focuses and makes use of more than 50,000 instructors. So outside of those online courses, there's coaching. Coaching is something you may wanna check out. For those seeking personal and professional coaching, I've got some sites for you too. The first site up, coach.me. Now, coach.me offers a free app for coaching and goal tracking. So you can have it with you at all times. It has paid services that come with more exclusive access to over 8,000 personal coaches, including personalized leadership coaching that caters to your specific workplace problems and goals. So having that coach and having access to it on your mobile phone, that's pretty cool. The next one up is Muse. The Muse. The Muse is an all-in-one professional site that includes job boards, company analysis, and most importantly, lots of online coaching options. Users choose from a huge database of coaches, then they choose the style of coaching they're seeking. Coaches are available for 30-minute intervals, Q&A sessions, and quick resume reviews. But they're also ready to start long-term mentorships if you'd like to do that. The next area you may wanna improve is language skills. Maybe you wanna learn a new language, okay, for travel, work, just fun. Having a second language can oftentimes land you a job that you wouldn't have normally gotten. The first site I wanna talk about is Babble. You can learn a new language with this fun, engaging online learning platform. Users will actually pay by the month for the subscription service, but newcomers can try out a course for absolutely free. So maybe you just wanna do one course and then move on. The next site is DuoLingo. This free service uses point levels and achievements to make learning a new language fun actually kind of addictive. It's easy to get started, you just download the app, create a free account, pick a language, and you're ready to go. I've actually used DuoLingo and I really like it. The next area you may wanna get into is life lessons, okay? Here you'll find insights on life, creativity, happiness, the economy, whatever you're interested in. These courses are really meant more to motivate you and kind of expand your mind and inspire you to actually go do something, which if you've lost your job, that's probably a great time to do that. The first site is called Daily Burn. If you wanna add some fitness skills to your life, the Daily Burn is a perfect place to start. For a monthly membership fee, users have access to thousands of workout videos and personalized regiments. If you want the feeling of a gym in your living room, you can even tune in for live workout sessions, broadcast daily for members every single morning.

Subjects can be traditional or outside of the box, including classes like Introduction to Commodities, okay? Or stock purchases, how to edit photos in Lightroom and how to improve your memory. It has all kinds of different courses. Next site up, Insight Timer. Insight Timer is a mobile app geared towards meditation enthusiasts, but you don't have to be a monk or something like that to make use of this tool. Secular courses guide listeners through meditations, thought, exercise, and talks on everyday issues like happiness, grief, insomnia. Some courses are free, but you can pay for any additional courses that pique your interest. All right, let's check out some online training. These sites use e-learning techniques to share specific work, play skills that help professionals advance their career and improve their income. Let's check it out. The first one is Open Sesame. You can choose from a variety of online training courses designed specifically to foster productivity and business. If you don't know where to start, advisors can help curate a course load based on your goals. Next site, Thinkful. Thankful actually ditches the rigid class outlines in favor for a more personal approach. You work one-on-one with a personal mentor to create a specific job goal while also building a network of professionals with shared interests. Some courses guarantee a job and they won't charge you until you get one. Let's check out some practical skills. Courses offered through these sites give you the tools that you need to go off and kind of tinker on your own. They're great starting points for looking for a new hobby, passion project or even considering a career change if you wanna do something else in your life to earn a living. First one is actually Code Academy. Sounds scary, right? You can actually learn to code for free in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, and much more. All you gotta do is join. The next one is General Assembly. General Assembly has more than a dozen physical campuses but students can also take online classes taught by certified experts. General Assembly's specialties include technology, data, design, and business. The next one up is Linda. Linda was acquired actually by LinkedIn in 2015. Linda features 13,000 courses in digital marketing, graphic design, and IT. Security and all kinds of other things too. So instead of paying for individual courses, users pay a membership and then you pick as many courses as you would like. And let's not forget SitePoint. SitePoint, this is best for web developers looking to expand their skill set. Users pay a monthly fee to access video tutorials, online books, courses, and community discussions. Also, you can check out Skill Crush. Learning coding skills from Skill Crush immerse three-month courses. Each course focuses on the skills needed for a specific career like front-end developer or freelance WordPress developer. Next one, I really like this one here, Skill Share. Skill Share, you'll gain creative business or tech skills from over 23,000 online courses. The site boasts expert instructors like author Roxanne Gay and illustrator Yuko Shamazu. Hope I said that right. The next website, Treehouse. This is another site that emphasizes coding. Coding's a big thing. It's gonna be around for the foreseeable future. So if you wanna get into that, it's a good idea to do it. It offers over 300 courses and supportive online community of thousands of students. Coursework includes multiple projects that help develop real-world skills. Next one is Udacity. Udacity, you can actually earn a nano degree in almost any tech field with Udacity. Courses range from web development to self-driving cars and artificial intelligence. The site also offers a master's degree program in computer science through his partnership with Georgia Tech. Okay guys, so those are some sites you can go to. I mean, let's face it, the way we learn nowadays is entirely different than it was when I was a kid. And if you don't move forward with technology, if you don't move forward with all these advancements, you're gonna get left behind, okay? So now may be a perfect time for you to improve those skills. Maybe you've got a little extra time on your hands now. Maybe you're spending more time at home. Why not learn something, become a more valuable human being instead of going out to the market, going, gee, I wish I could make more money? The best way to make more money is to become more valuable, okay? You get paid based on your skills. You know, there's no difference in a janitor and a brain surgeon. They get paid vastly different and they're both valuable human beings, but their value to society is different. Anybody can do the janitor job. Anybody can clean up, okay? And it could be good and bad janitors. That's not the point I'm arguing. I'm not arguing that person is any worse than the brain surgeon, but the brain surgeon can do something that very few people can do. And if you have skills that very few people can do, the market's gonna drive up your income. So why not just become a more valuable person? The easiest way in the world to earn more money and become more valuable. You can also apply these skills to your own online business. So either way you wanna go with it, I would check out some of these websites, use them. Let me know what you think of them. Put it in the comments section below. What'd you think of this video? What do you think of these websites? Have you tried any of them? Have you tried to learn skills online? Put any problems you had in the comments below. I'll be happy to answer you. I really thank you for watching this video. As a matter of fact, like I mentioned, I'll give you access to a $97 Ecommerce course absolutely free. It's in the description of this particular video right here. It's just click and learn. Don't have to do anything else, no credit card required. If you haven't subscribed yet, please do so. There's a big button down there that says subscribe. Hit that button next to it. There's a bell. Ring that bell. Turn on the bell. That way you'll become part of the Fisher family. You gotta remember to turn on all notifications. And when you do, I can notify you every single time I do a video. I really appreciate you listening and I'll see you in the next video.

This is the struggle. This is what you have to go through. This is what they don't want you to see. Stop it Steve! What's good? Today's dunk days already off the bat. Stay tuned for the dunk vlog. I know that's what you want to see, but this is the... It doesn't hurt the job, but I got no bounce in the sun outdoor dunking. So I actually feel tired from that. That's part of why I'm probably not bouncy. So today I'm just gonna warm up and see what I can do without my hamstring hurting because already it feels pretty good. Can't push it though, I know that. I might rest up to dunk a little bit harder tomorrow or the next day. I also went to the gym after dunking and did some hamstrings and hip work. Let's go. 9-10.5 I think I'm gonna take it easy and have a pretty good dunk day. No pain with these jumps. It still feels tight but not painful. I could jog a little bit more than I was able to before. So progress. It's all about being able to understand what your body needs and when. I'm gonna bang it. Who believes me? Who believes that this is my last one? I didn't bang it, but at least I banged my discipline to stop there. Sometimes you gotta take a step back to go forwards or you turn around and you... to go forward, you back pedal. But this is the time where I'm going always forwards. But sometimes you take a step, but either way you're moving towards the right degree and you make sure your eyes are focused on it without even making... looking back ever. And the mind has the key. Unlock the door, open it and then you're in it and then you close the door and now you're in the house of your temple. You know what time it is, baby. Dunk day. Taking it easy. But I got my new DLT on, baby. What is that? Dunk life T? Tank? What? Ooh, I'm excited. Alright, it's dunk day. I'm just happy to be jumping a little bit. Hamstring is slowly getting better. But what I've learned from doing my 40 inch to 42.5 inch video, which is me describing how I gained those two inches and all the struggles I went through, things take time. So I'm learning a lot. Every time I go through an injury, I learn a lot and I get better from it. And I think if you do that, there's no way you can lose. So yeah, taking it super easy today. I'm probably going to stick to just slow approach dunks because that big penultimate stride is where it really pulls my hamstring and hurts. And everything's perfect. The frequencies are higher than ever. I feel like the gratitude is running, coursing through my veins because I'm journaling every night and meditating at least five minutes a day. I'm on day three. If you're new to the channel, what the f- Get that notification bell and you instantly get an increase in your vertical. But the only thing is that the increase in vertical takes five years. But you instantly get it now. It's just that you got to wait. Also, I released the Dunk Life Laws, a quick little book I put together of dunk laws that you should do every time you dunk or think about and life laws and things that I like to live by and things I like to remind myself of. So check that out. It's completely free on my website. Just go check it out. StevenSully.com. Just a link in the bio. Link is everywhere. If you just want to find them, they're really easy. I make it so goddamn easy that nobody wants to find them anyway. Casual jumps and my goal today is just to jump a little bit harder with no pain. Keep it progressing tiny bit. See where I can do. Kind of test it out and push it a little bit to see what I can do. Already better than the last time I was here. Last time I was here felt super sluggish, which is normal. But today I already feel a lot more energy and I already feel a lot more bouncy and I'm ready to at least bang something. I've been going hard on my hips and my groin so those are super sore. It feels good to stay so focused on technique. Pesitency. I'm hesitant going right left to extend my right leg because it hurts, which is a good thing. So I'm going to try to see how I do. Definitely feel more aggressive left right. Get easy and slam. And now today I'm here. Super good energy, but my legs are super sore. It doesn't hurt to jump at all, but it hurts to jog. So I'm just going to do a lot of jumps as much as I can do. Maybe just a lot of hurt jumps. But yeah, I can't do a big stride and I can't lower too much. So it's like very top of my jump. That's all I can do. But I'm going to work that range to the freaking depth of it. I promise you I will be back flying. Stay tuned and I appreciate you guys watching this struggle. This is the struggle. This is what you have to go through. This is what they don't want you to see. Who's day? Good day everybody, as if it's another version of yourself.

The Most Common Differences Between American and British English | Teach & Live abroad!
British and American English differs in several ways that encompass vocabulary, grammar and spelling, and a student is not wrong if they use either version. Teachers should teach the English that they themselves speak but also have an awareness of the differences between the two. If a teacher is required to teach a course book that is in a version of English different to their own, then they should teach the English used in the book. Some of the differences in vocabulary covered in this graphic are fairly well known such as ‘pavement’ (GB) and ‘sidewalk’ (US), others not so much as in the case of ‘fortnight’ (GB) and ‘two weeks’ (US). While the differences between the two don’t generally matter, a teacher may prefer to teach one version of a word over another for clarity. ‘Bi-weekly’ in US English can mean every two weeks or twice a week, a state of affairs that causes confusion for native English-speakers let alone students of the language. In this case the UK English ‘fortnightly’ may be preferred as it only means every two weeks. Other differences between US and British English include the use of the present perfect. In British English the present perfect is used to talk about things that have happened in the recent past and have an effect on the present, for example ‘I’ve just finished my homework’. In American English the past simple can be used here, ‘I just finished my homework’. Another difference is in the use of the past participle of the verb ‘get’. In British English the past participle is ‘got’ while in American English it is ‘gotten’.

La psychomotricité dans l'accompagnement du vieillissement est en plein essor à l'EPA du SLD de Boussicot. Depuis septembre 2014, une nouvelle approche a été mise en place pour apaiser les troubles psychocomportementaux des personnes âgées des mentes et leur permettre une revalorisation d'elles-mêmes. On va prendre le thé. Merci madame. Échanger avec une personne âgée des mentes est difficile. Perturbant, décourageant, souvent pour les proches, mais aussi pour les professionnels qui sont amenés à s'en occuper. Cela conduit malheureusement fréquemment l'entourage a renoncé progressivement à toute tentative de communication, ce qui a pour conséquence de plonger davantage la personne souffrante dans son isolement. Pourtant, les possibilités d'échanger existent. Et l'ORAC Apollongo, psychomotricienne, va tout mettre en oeuvre pour développer des nouveaux modes de communication avec les résidents. Au quotidien, je m'appuie beaucoup sur la théorie de l'étayage psychomoteur de Suzanne Robert Ouvret, chez l'enfant, et je tente de l'appliquer chez la personne âgée. Le postulat de base de cette théorie, c'est l'existence de quatre niveaux d'organisation psychomotrice qui sont en autonomie relative et qui interagissent entre eux. Ces quatre niveaux, ce sont les tensions, les sensations, les affectes et les représentations. Cette méthode offre de multiples avantages, tant pour les résidents que pour l'équipe sonnette. Quand on reprend le passé de cette dame, on sait dans son projet de vie que c'est une dame qui était très indépendante, qui aimait voyager seul, partir en Angleterre voir ses enfants. Et on a remarqué que depuis qu'elle fait des sorties avec notre psychomotricienne, il y a vraiment des moments entre filles et elle apprécie, elle retrouve ces moments d'autonomie, d'indépendance qu'elle avait auparavant. On la retrouve elle, et même ses enfants le disent quand ils viennent, ils retrouvent leur maman. Alors depuis que Laura est arrivée, effectivement, on constate chez certains patients une diminution de la violence, notamment la violence physique. Il y a beaucoup moins de cris chez certaines personnes. Et il y a une relation de confiance qui se fait de par la parole, de par les gestes que Laura met en place. Et du coup, on a beaucoup plus de facilité à communiquer avec les patients. Le soin devient un moment agréable, autant pour le soignant que pour le résident. Il apprécie être lavé, sentir bon, être massé, qu'on lui mette les pommades. C'est vraiment quelque chose qui est devenu un moment de plaisir au-delà d'un moment de nécessité. Une prise en charge amenée à se développer auprès de tous les résidents, y compris se souffrant de troubles du langage post-AVCI.

Government has got to do more to stimulate growth if the private sector left to itself can't. But how can it do that? Because it can't spend money it doesn't have. The CBI does not want any weakening of the deficit reduction programme. This would be damaging to growth in the UK. The only reason we can borrow close to German borrowing rates is precisely because we have a deficit reduction programme. I want to stick with plan A. I don't want to move to plan B. But what I want is to supercharge plan A. I want it to become a plan A plus. And the way this survey says that we should do this is that 80% of respondents to this survey believe the right thing to do is to boost infrastructure spending. Not by government but by the private sector. Getting the private sector to do what the public sector can't. Invest in roads, invest in rail, invest in energy, invest in housing, invest in digital. And they will do that. They have the money to do it. But they need the land use planning system, they need market regulation, they need longer franchises, they need the right to charge for road tolling to get an income stream on the back of that investment.

Topography! The physical form or shape of a behavior. The way a behavior looks. There's lots of examples of this. Take, for example, the beautiful flames that I have just drawn for you. They're right there. Those ones are nice flames, but these ones don't look so nice. These ones right here. God, those are ugly. So, topography of response, topography of behavior. How the behavior looks so I can draw those things in particular ways. How someone walks, they could get along and they're hitched and they get along. That sort of thing. It's a topography of response. The way in which I inform my words could be a topography of response. You see the fact that I'm playing with, I'm twiddling my fingers. I'm twiddling my ring. I'm twiddling. So, how does that look? The way my finger is moving. That's a topography of response. The fact that my finger is moving is a response. How it's moving is the topography. How it looks. Sometimes it's really really important like when you're doing swimming or high jumping or things like that. All of the stuff where you need to make sure you do it in a particular way, otherwise you're doing it wrong. Sometimes topography doesn't matter at all. I don't know what. I suppose how you talk sometimes doesn't matter at all, but sometimes it does. So, you get the idea, right? It's just how a behavior looks. Topography, topographical, the way something looks. That's it.

Why Sonic the Hedgehog's Design Keeps Changing
Sonic the Hedgehog's design keeps changing. One minute he's short and chubby, the next, he's lean and tall. Sometimes he has a scarf, and at other times, he has distracting human teeth. So why does Sonic keep changing? Why does Sega allow so many different creators the opportunity to redesign their mascot? The reason for this has a lot to do with Sonic's creation, corporate struggles between Sega of America and Sega of Japan, and a constant desire to keep Sonic fresh and relevant to a changing, diverse audience.

Have you ever wondered why Sonic the Hedgehog's design changes so frequently? At present, there have been four distinct different incarnations of Sonic. There's classic Sonic, modern Sonic, boom Sonic, and of course, movie Sonic. This is to say nothing of all the times the character's design has been tweaked slightly over the years, all the time he was a werewolf, all the time he was Link from Legend of Zelda. Change and evolution has always been baked into the character of Sonic, and there's never been a consistent formula for his games. Sega has always been willing to let each new creative team bring their own personal sense of style to the famous hedgehog. Here's an excerpt from a 2016 Polygon interview with Bob Rafi, who was largely responsible for the Sonic boom redesign of the character. If you stay the same, I believe you stagnate, and that's a slow death, Rafi says. He calls Sega brave, and explains that he admires its willingness to change and devolve its grandfather character, something we may not see from a company like Nintendo, who has stayed true to the Italian plumber formula. Certainly it's always been true that Sega has played things fast and loose with Sonic's design, as well as his world, and even the tone and themes of his stories. Right from the start, this was apparent in the way that Sega of America and Sega of Japan fought over how the character should be drawn. Because the character's original design and backstory felt too Japanese, Sega of America's Madeline Shredder, the self-described mother of Sonic, took it upon herself to soften the company's new mascot, removing his fangs and ditching his blonde human girlfriend Madonna. Speaking of animosity between the western and eastern branches of the company, former Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinsky said, I think Sega of Japan resented the fact that we changed him from being aggressive and having fangs and a very sharp personality, and to some degree a menacing personality, to being soft and friendly. I think they resented that. Even within the west, several versions of Sonic were developed simultaneously. Children's cartoon company, Deek, created two animated shows featuring Sega's mascot at the same time. One, The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, was a wacky, slapstick, Looney Tunes-style affair. The other show, Sonic the Hedgehog, referred to by fans as Sat A.M., was instead set in a dark, dystopian nightmare, envisioning Sonic and his friends as freedom fighters pushing back against a robot apocalypse. So even Sonic fans within America were split by which version of the character they enjoyed, right from the start. Meanwhile, in Britain, we had Sonic the Comic, which was written and drawn by comic creators who also worked for 2000 AD on books like Judge Dread, and its shows. In no other media has Super Sonic been portrayed as a homicidal supervillain. Thus, in the 90s alone, there were at least four wholly different incarnations of Sonic the Hedgehog circulating among different audiences. There was debate, internally, between artists at this point, as to how Sonic should be drawn. American artists often drew Sonic with the mohawk of three spikes in a single straight line, while Japan preferred five spikes spread out across Sonic's head. Similarly, should Sonic have buckles on his shoes? It all depends on which artist you asked. Then, in 1999, for the release of Sonic Adventure, the character got his first major redesign. His limbs got longer, and he gained green eyes. According to one artist who worked on the redesign, Yuji Yukawa, on the artwork side, we added strength and weakness to the lines, giving him a more bold presence while still remaining cartoon-like, and we changed his posing to be more dynamic, emphasising his movement when compared to the previous designs. At the time, this redesign was not universally popular, even among those at Sega. Al Nilsson, former Sega of America employee, took a dim view of changes made to the new Sonic. He said, when former employees of Sega of America would go to E3 and see what was happening, a lot of times we would just go and we would shake our heads, and we were very, very sad. Because, you know, what we had established and what we had built was something that was very, very special. It's hardly surprising, considering how many different versions of Sonic have existed over the years, that fans are always skeptical when the character receives yet another redesign. Considering that, right from the start, Sega was already having difficulty deciding on a single design for the character, it makes sense that the company is still so lax at maintaining a consistent look for their mascot. But while this has often led to more than a few missteps over the years, it's also produced some wonderful benefits for the Sonic fan community as a whole. Sega has also been far less likely to claim copyright infringement on YouTube videos, although there have been exceptions. Then, there's the social media team behind Sonic, led by fan community icon Aaron Weber. Sonic's official online presence, perhaps more so than any other video game series, is defined by listening to fans and engaging in discussion around both the high and low points of games past. Speaking of his team's approach to interacting with fans, Weber stated, so look at Sonic in the state that it's in. You've got some really good Sonic games out there, and you've also got some games that obviously weren't as great. So how do you sort of take that brand and make it fun? For me, making Sonic really exciting and funny and irreverent was the right direction. So I said, alright, let's embrace these weird elements of the Sonic fanbase. This kind of open, inviting, self-aware interaction with fans is only possible because Sega doesn't take Sonic too seriously. The culture of discussion that's grown around these games has directly led to an environment where fans can make their voices heard, to the point that even large movie studios have to listen and change their plans when the internet is unimpressed with their work. Sonic has always been evolving, changing as successive generations of developers, animators and artists attempt to reinvent the character. This hasn't always gone well, but every version of this princess kissing, sword-wielding, guitar-playing warehog has been a spectacle worth seeing. Why would Sonic's design ever stay static? He's got to go fast!

Webinar - Developing Mobile Apps from Idea to Launch: A Case Study - 2013-07-11
Want to create a mobile app for your nonprofit or library? Then this is the webinar for you. From developing the initial idea, to the process of developing and launching an app, TechSoup's very own Anna Jaeger and Keith Thode, COO of Aidmatrix, will share their experience of creating the SafeNight app for domestic violence service organizations. When an individual is in urgent need of shelter, a qualified staff member at a domestic violence service organization can initiate a request for hotel room funding. Supporters who have downloaded SafeNight will receive a notification that an individual is in need and have an opportunity to immediately cover the cost of the hotel room. Crowdfunding safe housing for communities in need. Anna and Keith will share how the app idea came about, what the process looked like for engaging the community, creating the design, partnering with for-profit companies and nonprofit developers, and soft launching in the Marketplace earlier this month. You'll come away with some key steps in the process, some best practices and pitfalls to avoid, and a look at the inside of creating an app for social good. If your nonprofit, charity, or library is interested in creating your own app, join us to learn more about TechSoup's Caravan Studios process for creating SafeNight and other apps. You can check out the concept paper to give you ideas for where to begin with an app for your organization. You can also learn more about apps for social change with resources from TechSoup.

Thank you for joining us for Developing Mobile Apps from IDEA to Launch. This is a case study today that we will be discussing the Safe Night app that was created by TechSoup and Aid Matrix. So I'm going to go ahead and introduce our presenters. We are joined today. Again, my name is Becky Wiegand and I am the Interactive Events Producer here at TechSoup. I'll be the facilitator for today's webinar. We also have Anna Geiger who is the CTO of Caravan Studios which is a division of TechSoup. She will be presenting about the app process that we used in-house here at TechSoup. And then we also have Keith Bode who is the COO of Aid Matrix. And he will be talking about his contributions to developing this app as well. Hopefully this will allow you to come away with some great insights into the process or possible processes for developing your own app and understand a little bit about what it takes to put a real app together for your mobile audiences. You will see assisting with chat, Ali Bazdikian on the back end. So she will be grabbing your questions and saving them for us for the presentation Q&A. Today's agenda we will cover some introductions of both TechSoup and Caravan Studios, one of our divisions, as well as Aid Matrix. We'll take a little bit of time to pull you on what your needs are and what you're considering with mobile app development. And then we'll go into the meat of the program which we'll be talking about safe night and how the process and the app and the why of developing an app for nonprofits. And then we'll share some lessons learned and best practices and have time for Q&A. So who is TechSoup? TechSoup is a part of TechSoup Global and we are working toward today when every nonprofit, library, and social benefit organization on the planet has the technology, knowledge, and resources they need to operate at their full potential. What that means is we are a 501c3 nonprofit organization as well and so we are looking to serve other nonprofits and libraries with donated technology donations, technology products, and also provide the resources with how to use them once you have them. So today's event will largely talk about our own internal process for how we developed our mobile app in the hopes that that will provide some insight for any process that you might undertake at your organization. We launched a new website earlier this year so if you haven't visited us please join us at TechSoup.org to learn more about our work. I'd like to turn it over to Anna Yeager just to introduce a little bit about Caravan Studios which is a division of TechSoup to talk a little bit about the work that they do. Anna, welcome to the event. Thanks Becky. Hi, I'm Anna Yeager. And Caravan Studios, as Becky said, is a division of TechSoup Global. We started this project earlier this year to try some new things. And we are in the process of building about four or five different apps at the moment and some web-based products as well. And we really believe in working with community to design responses to their issues. So it's not just stuff coming out of our heads. It's not coming from the technical side. It's really coming from nonprofits. We work with them in sessions called Generators to get ideas about what are their most troubling problems right now. Not their technology problems, forget about technology, but what are the issues that keep them up at night? And we discuss these in sessions that we call Generators to look for opportunities for technical intervention. Then we go through our process here that will hopefully end in a solution and use of the software. And SafeNight, which we are talking about today, is in between the build and use phase right now on our slide. And AID Matrix has definitely been a huge partner. They are actually doing the building of this app for us. We are the nonprofit folks, and they are the technology folks. So I'll let Keith go ahead and introduce himself. Thank you. So AID Matrix is a nonprofit organization as well and a long-standing partner of TechSoups. And we are also huge TechSoup fans as I suppose most of you on the call are. The background for AID Matrix and the idea is that the for-profit world has developed these processes and technologies that really raise the standard of living of most of society. How can you take maybe those same technologies and processes and apply them to people who have been left behind or affected by a tragedy, whether that is a disaster or a personal tragedy? So we try to tap into those capabilities and those capacities and make them relevant to the social sector. And this was a great partnership for us because I think we were able to bring some capabilities from a technology side and the corporate side to then partner up with TechSoup who has such a, particularly in this area has such a strong intimate understanding of the community and the challenges there. And we found that the marrying of the two is a great team to take this project forward. Great. Thanks so much for that, Keith. So today's webinar is really intended to be a case study, not to be self-promotional on our own app. We don't want you to go and download our app and use it. It's really for us to just share how it works for us, give you some best practices, and to talk about how we really came up with the idea and how we implemented that into a solution that would really achieve some of the goals. So we'll talk a little bit about that in the process. But before we do so, I'd like to take a moment to pull you, our audience, to find out where your interests are in mobile app development. So let's first ask, do you use mobile apps on a smartphone? Feel free to click on your screen if you are a current app user, or if maybe you only read your email. Most people these days seem to be using apps to some degree. So we just want to gauge our audience's experience so far because that will help us tailor our presentation a bit to your needs. So I'm going to go ahead and skip to results here. It looks like the fair majority, 93% are using mobile apps on smartphones. And the next question is a bit more complicated. Does your organization run web or app-based projects? And if so, do you run those projects or develop those projects internally, or with external or third-party developers? So maybe you do just web projects like you work on your website internally or you have a third-party partner. Maybe you have worked on apps. Maybe you have not. Maybe you've done all of the above. So let us know in the results where you are on this spectrum, and whether it helps us to know whether or not you're primarily using third-party developers who are not part of your organization, contractors, or other companies to help you develop. So it looks like from the participants you can continue to respond. It looks like most folks are doing web-based development of some kind. About 65% are doing some type of web development, but about half doing in-house and half doing it with third-party developers. 11% are doing both web and app development which is great. And about 17% are none of the above. So maybe you are here just because you are interested in figuring out what kind of development you can do and what the process is, whether it is worth your time. So the next question is your organization planning to develop a mobile app? Are you just considering it? Are you looking for ideas of apps for nonprofits? It looks like so far we've got lots of considering it and yeses. And hopefully today you will get some insight into the decision processes around the app process to see if it is something you want to invest your time and money in for those of you who are considering it. So that's about 45% considering it and another almost 40% who are yes, definitely going to develop a mobile app. So thank you for taking part in those polls. That does help us understand who you are a bit more. We won't get into too much technical detail and we'll try to define things throughout the webinar but if you have questions or if there is terminology that we toss around that we forget to define, please let us know in the chat and we'll try to make sure that we convey that information to you. So with that I'd like to go ahead and hand it over to Anna Jaeger who is going to take us through some of the process of getting started with the mobile app and talk a little bit about what is safe night and we're going to use this as a case study to share that experience and hopefully some of the insights will be useful to you. So thank you. Welcome Anna. Thank you very much and thank you all for joining us today. So if you are at a nonprofit and you're planning on developing an app for social good, you really need to understand what is the goal. I'm sure you've heard about this for websites as well. What is the goal of your website? Well the same thing is true for an app but maybe even a bit more restrictive. You don't want people doing too much with an app. You don't want to be giving them lots of messages and lots of ways to take action. You really want to funnel them because you have such small amount of real estate and small amount of time to really capture their attention. So you really want to understand what is that the primary social benefit goal that you're trying to accomplish with your app. And we'll talk about what ours was in a moment. We encourage you to flesh out the idea and really engage the community. Get other people involved in the process as we have. We've learned that it's tremendously valuable. They come up with things that we hadn't even thought of. So we'll also talk about that. And then getting it built. Do you have folks in-house who have the capabilities or want to learn? Or do you want to work with a third-party development organization? And like our relationship with Aid Matrix, they are not a contractor for TechSoup Global in building this app. They are a partner in the development of this system. And they have really brought a lot of their own experience with fundraising and with infrastructure for nonprofits to the process. And together we make a whole unit, but individually we're not. It's not just TechSoup saying, hey, we need some contractors. So it's definitely important to think about what is that relationship with the developers like and the other parties who you're bringing into the mobile app experience. And then make sure not to forget, and we'll talk about this a little more too, but you need to have budget to maintain it once it's built. The budget can't just be for the initial development. You're going to learn things as you go. You're going to have to scope it down to get to the first deliverable. And then you're going to want to do more with it initially. And think about when the phones upgrade. Both Windows phones and androids and iPhones, they all upgrade quite frequently once or twice a year. So what is that going to do to your app? And when we've heard numerous occasions where folks have had their app out into the marketplace, and then a month or two later the platform versions, and suddenly this beautiful app doesn't work anymore and they don't have budget to maintain it. So we'll get to some more specific and explicit lessons that we've learned towards the end of the presentation. But right now we want to tell you a little bit about the app itself and what we are developing. Safe Night is a mobile service that allows the community to respond to the urgent needs for shelter. And what this means is when an individual is in urgent need of shelter, a qualified staff member at a domestic violence service organization can initiate a request for a hotel room funding. So the person who pushes out the request is from a nonprofit, from a qualified certified domestic violence agency. Both TechSoup and Aid Matrix have a long history of onboarding nonprofits and ensuring that they are who they say they are. And supporters who've downloaded the Safe Night app will then, once the organization has pushed out a request for help, the supporters will receive a notification that an individual is in need and then they'll have an opportunity to help cover the cost of the hotel room via the app. So again, the shelter is the one who does the screening just like they do now of the person who needs the help. They're the ones, the organization is the one who puts out the alert. And it's the donors who have the app installed who can say, yes, I'll help right now and will make a donation. And some people here at TechSoup and others are saying, why are we doing this project? It seems a little abstract and different from what we normally do, but here are just a few stats that really astound us. These are one in four women in the U.S. who will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. I believe all of these stats come from nnedv.org. That's the National Network to End Domestic Violence. And I won't read through all of the stats, but it's really just incredible. And one of the stats that really hit us was on one day in California alone, nearly 3,000 people found refuge in emergency shelters in transitional housing, but nearly 800 people didn't find the housing that they needed. 800 people on one day did not have a safe place to sleep. And so we really wanted to target that unmet need, and we were trying to determine how could we do that. Here's another just real-life example that really hit home for us. And we wanted to make sure that anybody who needed it could find refuge for the night. Our app is not going to end domestic violence, but it will really help people for one day get out of a bad and dangerous situation. Keith, do you want to jump in here and talk a little bit about the goals of SafeNight specifically? Absolutely. I think our main goal is to reduce the incident of domestic violence by basically enabling people and those that care for them to remove them out of the dangerous situation, whether that's the individual themselves calling a hotline because they need help, or often it's the case there's been police intervention and the police are actually having those relationships and are calling and trying to find capacity. And the shelters often, as Anna pointed out, are way too often full and there's not a safe place to put them. So ultimately that's what we're trying to do. There's a couple of enabling goals too though is what we're trying to do is generate new sources of support and capacity for the domestic violence sector coming at this a bit from an aid matrix standpoint where we believe there's capacity out there in the corporate world. Well, one of the places there's capacity in the same city where the shelter may be full there may be a hotel room that's about to go empty. Well, can't we bridge those two things in a room, a space that would have gone to waste? Can't we use some skilled nonprofit volunteers and some corporate connections to actually turn that empty wasted space into a safe place? At the same time domestic violence agencies like other folks are trying to diversify their donation sources. So can we use this tool as a way to reach unique donors, donors who will respond to that very immediate request who maybe may not be interested in writing a monthly check or an annual check but will respond to that immediate impulse. So as TechSoup and Aid Matrix part of what we're trying to do is bring in new friends and new funds, new sources of funds and ultimately more capacity so that we can get more women and those in their family placed in a safe situation for the evening. Part of the process and really one of the neat things TechSoup has done in the partnership has really enforced with us the importance of at the same time capturing as much of the relevant data as possible so that we can go back and serve those people even better as we go on and build the case even more strongly as we go on to convince others to help us and get involved and address these critical needs. Thanks Keith. This is Becky just chiming in because I think this is one example of a solution-based app that's working toward finding temporary smaller solutions with growing capacity of support from around the community and communities that could easily be, the idea for this could easily be transferred to a number of direct service organizations. So if you run a food bank and you need some money specifically to buy food if you run a bike service or a bicycle promotion organization to let people borrow bikes to commute to save on energy costs. You could have something that has a similar type of request system where you as an organization, as a direct service organization could put out the request that we need this today. Or if you're working with an inventory in a soup kitchen that you could have something that says we have a need for this donation. It will cost $30. You can make that donation and it will happen today. So I think that there are a lot of ways or an animal shelter if you serve communities where you need fosters for animals. So I could see that this kind of concept could be transferred to a variety of different mostly direct service organizations. And TechSoup is not a direct service organization that we work as a domestic violence shelter. But we convened with the generators that Anna mentioned earlier, we convened domestic violence organizations and shelters to help them determine what their biggest needs were and this was what has come out of it. So I think there are ways that this concept could be transferred to a variety of other organizations and types of services. So with that I'm going to go ahead and hand it back to Anna to talk a little bit more about the process and to give us some definitions before we launch into everything so that we're all on the same page. Great. Thanks Becky. Now I don't want to scare anybody with any of these so don't worry. You don't have to be able to consume every detail here. But app development is a lot like web development in that you can have a number of different processes from getting to the start, from the start to the finish. One of the most common ones in software development in general is waterfall where you do all the planning up front, then the requirements, then the design, then the development, then the testing, then the acceptance. And it's a tried and true practice. It works really well in general. We used it for the development of SafeNight. One of the downsides is it's not very conducive to learning along the way. So another process that we've touched on and we'll be using a lot more of now that we have the base product, but as we go forward we'll be using something more called agile development where you do small chunks of work. And at the end of each chunk of work you have something that's potentially shipable, a product. You have a new feature let's say, or you have some new content or you have something new that you can get in a small period of time. And each of the teams you work with, the development teams you work with can dictate how long that period of time is. Is it one week, two weeks, a month? But I really recommend this model in terms of it's really great for learning along the way. So if you do two weeks worth of work and you learn something new you can add that learning in and shift the direction of your app along the way. But you have to have a pretty good sense from the start of where you're going and a lot of flexibility and willingness to shift. So that requires some good organizational buy-in that what you start out doing might look very different from what you end up with. And that's okay as long as everybody is bought in. I'm not going to define all of these things right now, but these are just a few words that maybe later if you want to look them up, do some searches on them they might be helpful before you go on the journey of building an app. These are several things HTML I'm sure you've all heard of, but HTML5 is the latest version and CSS3, that's the style sheet. And they really enable app development and responsive web design for websites as well. So those are good things to know about. Keith, anything else you wanted to add in here before we move off these definitions? Just one thing around, there's the definition of native app which really talks about developing an application for use on a particular platform or device. And for a lot of our folks here who have worked with technology thinking about what computer or what web browser is going to see what you developed has not been much of an issue through much of your career. Those of you who are maybe further along in your career like I am will remember the days where we had to develop for specific operating systems and things to work on specific devices. But in this era of web development and most things being on the Internet rather than on your specific machine, we haven't had to think about it that as much. Now as you start, so those of you who have done a lot of web development as you move to the phone and developing apps for the phone, there's a lot more work about things working on a particular device and on a particular operating system. So doing a Windows phone version and an Android version and an iPhone version and not only that for specific operating systems for those applications and some nuances between different Android devices for example. So I believe that's a temporary situation that's affecting us for the next few years but it is something that those of you who are kind of moving from a web based view of the world to this mobile app piece is to really be having enough time and thoughtfulness around the fact that you are going to have to develop things for different kinds of devices. Excellent. Thank you. Great. So getting started with mobile app development. Here again are some terms that you will want to know about and we'll show you a few examples of them in the coming slides. But Keith has shown here on the right a version of the app flow. You can see it doesn't have any details about the fields that are in any of those screens but each of those boxes represents a screen and the arrows and the lines represent transitions to other screens. So from the home screen you have three options or three paths that you might go down. And then on the next slide here is an example of a wireframe where again there are no design elements, there is no color, there is no shape, there is not a lot of layout. But what these tell you is what fields and what functions should be on that screen. And remember when you are doing a mobile app you don't want to cram in too much. That is always my tendency. Let's do more. Oh we left out this bit. Oh this bit is critical. But it is not a lot of real estate. So you have to keep it simple and keep it large enough that people can see and don't have to be zooming in and out all the time. The next step that we did was design. So hopefully this has come up on your screen. And you can see this is the login screen for the Safe Night app. You can see there is the starry black background. And then there is a blue background as well to go around the main fields and the content. And then you have got the fields themselves and the buttons. So this gives once you get to the design, the UI design, user interface design that gives a lot more look and feel to the app. You will get a lot more people responding very positively once you get to this step. It is a much more shareable step. The wireframe example if I can go back to it, people in my experience start to get it when they see the wireframes which is great. But especially if they have some technical experience a lot of folks love wireframes. But a lot of folks who are not immersed in technology I think tend to respond a little bit better to design. You don't have to have the whole thing designed in an agile development process. You could design one or two screens and test it out with your community to see how people respond. In our design we had an initial logo and it was a dove that looked like it was sleeping and very peacefully. And when we showed it to people they thought it was either a dolphin waving or maybe a manatee. And we said, oh well that's not going to work. So we started all over and came up with a different logo. And those are the things that you learn in the design stuff. So don't forget to share those pieces back out with your community or with your advisors, people in your organization to get buy-in to make sure that you're on the right track. Now I'd like to talk just a little bit more about our partnering outside of TechSoup. We have been working a lot with domestic violence agencies in California for the past 13 years. We've done a variety of consulting with them. For the past three years we've had grants from the Blue Shield of California Foundation to support those organizations through the use of technology. So we help them identify what their technology needs were and help them acquire donations to meet those needs. And the idea for this app came out of all of those conversations, those years of conversations with domestic violence organizations. This idea did not come to us overnight. And initially we thought, well let's do a bedfinder app where shelters that are full can reach out to other shelters and say, do you have a bed that will meet my needs? Do you have a bed that will accommodate families? Do you have a bed that will accommodate somebody who needs assistance with getting off of drugs? And when we talked with the community they said, that's lovely but most of our shelters are full. We don't have capacity to share. So what we really need, we had talked about once the bedfinder app, once we get that piece in we'll escalate and we'll start looking for free hotel rooms. And they said skip the bedfinder part, go straight to the hotel room because that's what's going to increase our capacity. So after we had started, we had partnered with Aid Matrix already. We were talking, we were starting to develop the ideas around bedfinding. And the community said, no, that's not what we need. We shifted. We changed the focus of the app to be this more fundraising type of app, crowdsource fundraising for hotel rooms. And so as I mentioned Blue Shield of California Foundation had supported us for a number of years but when it came to the app we actually went to Microsoft and said we want to build this specific thing, will you help us? And they gave us a very generous grant to help explore and get the initial app off the ground. And as I said we had started partnering with Aid Matrix and really because they had such deep experience with fundraising. If you're not aware of it they have the Virtual Aid Drive which I believe is available as a donation through TechSoup. And so they were really familiar with how to process fundraising donations and how they had the infrastructure for accepting credit cards and working with donors. And they had a deep knowledge of developing infrastructure to meet the needs of nonprofits and they had the technical experience building apps. They partnered with Microsoft to build an app called HelpBridge which allows people to reach out for help in a disaster. Hey there was just an earthquake, I'm okay or I'm at this location and I need help. So we really looked for all of those things in Aid Matrix and that's what told us that they would be an excellent partner in this endeavor. And then once we started making some progress we went back to Blue Shield and then we went to Vodafone and said, you know what Microsoft has helped us in this way. Can you help us get a little bit further? And once we had the real solid idea they were willing to come on board and help us with some grants to make this a reality. I think it's terrific to know that a nonprofit especially if you're a smaller organization does not have to just go it alone and try to come up with an app idea and develop it and come up with all the funding themselves that if you work in coalition with organizations that do similar work that it's a great way to not only come up with an idea but also to kind of come up with funding sources to help you afford to build an app that can launch in different marketplaces. So I think that's a terrific piece of advice for people to look at not just their own organizational capacity but to look at their partners, to look at their friends, to look at their coalition of orgs that work on the same issue to see if there are ways that they can partner and work together to build something that will ultimately win solutions for them and for their communities. Thank you Becky. Keith, do you want to do this next slide in the video? Yeah, sure. And I think Becky's point is a good transition point. When we look at the background in terms of the fundraising engine was actually developed for an example Becky had before about people needing food for the food pantry or for the food bank. We have this web-based fundraising infrastructure called the Virtual Aid Drive and it actually started as the Virtual Food Drive and much the way Anna was describing, this was developed with the community and in fact was not even our original idea and its base concept. Our local food bank who we had done other, a significant amount of work with came to us with a sheet of paper and a list of grocery items on it. And a company had sent it out to their employees and people would fill out the grocery list and the amounts and then they would write their check and staple their check to the paper and turn the paper in. And the North Texas Food Bank came to us with that and said, could you put this on the computer? And our eyes got really big because we saw not only was that going to be applicable for them but it was going to be applicable for all kinds of food banks and not only would it be applicable for many, many food banks individually but as a network you could go to national employers and national groups of people and they could make their contributions and make a local impact as part of their national organization. And so the Virtual Aid Drive and Virtual Food Drive and Virtual Aid Drive was born. The same infrastructure is the fundraising infrastructure and underneath technology and processes and support systems that is supporting the SafeNight app now. And we actually believe over time that same story will be able to tell and that same value we are going to be able to tell as this becomes a national system. So through the combination of the back end system that we already had in place, the Virtual Aid Drive and the mobile app development, we have the whole interaction process from the point from where a shelter manager has a specific need. They need to put a person in a hotel room that night. They know about that person. They have the room secured. They know how much it will cost. They can go into the Virtual Aid Drive and put out a specific request for somebody to pay for that specific room. The Virtual Aid Drive then sends a notification out over to the mobile app and out to all those people who have agreed to hear requests from that specific shelter in that specific time frame how often they want to be asked and their phone gets pinged with that very specific request. And if they make that donation right then, then that money will be used to place that person in that room that evening and we have all of the tracking on the back end to make sure that those funds are used exactly the way that we've asked for them. Next we have sort of a video of the whole process. And this is from a technical standpoint that you can use if you develop in the .NET platform and then some other platforms you can use what's called an emulator. And that's basically a way to make your PC act like a phone to test your mobile apps. And so before we had the phone ready, the phone version of the software ready, we had it ready in a stage where we could put it on the emulator and we could start testing the application. So you can see the application sort of running in process here. One of the things we did with that early on was then to go make a movie. Because as Anna said, as much as you can be specific with people, provide them specific pictures and look and feel and such about the application, some people are abstract and like process flows and such, but many people are very concrete. And to the extent that you can give them a very specific picture of what you're doing, you can generate their ideas, their feedback, their support. Here you're seeing the shelter manager logging into the virtual a drive to make that request. See that donor information that make that request for that new room. But one particular trick of the trade I'll say is you can make this web-based movie of your app while it's still in process. And then you can actually, while you're not downloading the live app to your phone yet, you can download this little movie onto your phone. And then for example, when I was at lunch a couple of weeks ago and before the app was ready, but I still had the movie downloaded on my phone, I could sit at lunch and I could go to one of our supporters and just run the movie on my phone and they could see it actually running on a phone and it gave them a very specific idea of how this was going to work. So little movies like this and such can be helpful in being extremely concrete in your support. Here you can see the specific need of the donation, $54. We'll put a person in the room that night. They click on that they want to help. They put in their credit card information. There are other information that has already been stored in the app so they don't have to re-enter that. Here they put in their credit card information and it has all of the security. That information then flows back through our virtual A drive with all the donation capabilities working with all the credit card providers. It's a secure transaction and none of that credit card information is stored anywhere but we use VeriSign which is the PayPal people. It's one of the biggest gateways out there. And in a couple of clicks they've made an impact. They've changed somebody's situation that evening and really potentially saved them from a very dangerous situation in just a few clicks. So that's a little bit about the movie. Here you can see some other ways that you can give feedback and all of this. And actually those of you that have Windows phones and can download it on the store I know you put the link out there. You actually can see most of the same functionality yourself right now. And I think with that also it's also good to note you saw there we put our sponsors on there. One other tip I guess the way you're developing it too is to make sure you give your sponsors adequate promotional coverage for their contributions. Absolutely. And as you mentioned we also showed this to some of the financial supporters who have backed SafeNight and they loved it. Making this video, the work to make the video before the app was finished has been an incredible boon for us. So I encourage folks to take some time if you think it's going to take a little while even a few more weeks. Having a video like this has been incredible. I got to show it at our staff meeting and I was amazed to see how riveted people were by that video and the presentation. It really helped get people on board. And they started instantly I started getting emails from staff saying what about this? And that's incredible and I really like how you did that. So it was really wonderful that we had that video to be able to show it. A little bit more about engaging the community the way that we did it was we had, other than the work I had already talked about all those years of consulting, we pulled together an advisory board, folks who we felt could look at what we were doing and give us feedback. We could send them documents and get them to review it. It can be a big commitment so make sure that they are signed up for it. We probably tapped hours a couple of hours a month. We would have a meeting and we would have them review some documentation. Some months we wouldn't have anything, other months we would have several hours worth of work. So choose wisely. And then in a moment I will talk a little bit more about our pilot participants but that's our next step now that it is launched in the marketplace. We are going to start piloting it with a few shelters. Go ahead. So one of the things to think about is that step of launching your app in the marketplace and it does take time unlike publishing your own web-based project or something where you can just put it on your servers and it's out on the Internet for whomever you want to access. Apps these days have to go through certain marketplaces and sometimes get some rigorous approval before they are launched. Each app market is different and you have to allow some time for that and different strategies. For example, the Android Market, it's called Google Play these days, but the Android Marketplace is actually very easy to publish too. There is very little review with somewhat an open source based Marketplace. But then on the other end Extreme End is the Apple Marketplace which is much more stringent and Windows and Microsoft is somewhere in the middle of their folks review your app, they test it. If you have things like for where we had the – people are donating money then that raises a few flags. They want to make sure that you're processing that data correctly and you've got the right securities and such. So you have to allow for some of that. We recommend a strategy of going ahead and getting one good complete set of functionality out and in the queue with them as soon as possible. And then while you actually may have some other fixes that you're working on in play, getting some of the cosmetic things right just to get that process underway for review. But that can be – at the time this is usually at the end of your process, of your build process. So pressures can be high at that point. So definitely allow some time and date flexibility for those Marketplaces to approve and actually publish your software. Thanks Keith. Now on to our pilot. We are doing a small pilot starting with a couple of organizations in California. Then we'll expand the pilot to a few more organizations in California. And then we'll have a second pilot moving on to organizations in Texas. And then we expect to expand state by state nationally. And in each of those we expect to learn new things and discover new ways to improve the app. So we're just entering that phase now. We can report back a little bit more on later on how that goes. But you can see in the notes in this particular slide what some of the things were that we were looking for in our pilot organization. I know we want to leave plenty of time for questions. So I'll just quickly go over some of the lessons learned and some of the tips that we have for you. And we aren't by no means experts, but we're just talking from our own experience. But definitely the goal needs to be aligned with the goals of the organization. As I said before, keep it simple. And if you have personally identifying information in it, if you have people enter their names even, or any other information, make sure it's secure. And make sure it meets the standards. Don't just trust a developer, but make them explain, make them show you how it's secure. Have your content copy edited? Have a real marketing plan? And as we mentioned before, budget to maintain it when the phone's upgrades, not just when you want to add more features. Define the goal up front and how you want to achieve it. What is it that you want to do with this app? And be very clear on that. It doesn't mean it can't change, but start with a hypothesis and test that out. Engage your community and your target audience, because keep in mind our community here is the Domestic Violence Service Organization, but the target audience are the donors. So we have to make sure that they're both involved in the process. The advisory board I already mentioned, and trying not to make your app all things to all people. For instance, don't build a website in an app form. You can make your website mobile friendly, but don't build an app to replace your website. And for content apps, you could try getting your feet wet with something like App Maker. They're good for putting in content and media. And as Keith was just talking about, be aware of some of those platform restrictions. For instance, Apple, you're not allowed to do fundraising to nonprofits through their apps. You can get around that by putting in a link to a website, but your app has to be free then. You can't charge for it. And make sure to listen to your community feedback once you get it. So I think that's the end of our structured presentation. I want to do some questions, Becky. Terrific. Thank you so much, Anna. Those are some great tips. We have quite a few questions that have come in, so I'll go ahead and jump right in. And this is probably one that either of you could address. So Lynn was asking, saying that she's really interested in partnering with somebody to develop a mobile app. How do you find a company to partner with to develop it? How did you guys reach out? Were these people you already knew and had relationships with, were these prior funders? As Keith mentioned, we had already had a long-standing relationship with AID Matrix, and we were looking for a way to deepen that. So that's how we found them. There are other ways that we're also doing outreach. We're letting the community know what it is we want to do, and the things that we need, money, developers, other resources. And the community has helped us. And our community doesn't just include nonprofits, but it also includes folks like Vodafone Foundation of America and Microsoft and Blue Shield. So we've let them know, and they've also helped us find some other folks. We've also just been very open online. And people have come and found us wanting to volunteer. A lot of hackers want to learn, and so they might be willing to take on your app Pro Bono. Just keep in mind that it's a volunteer like anybody else, so you have to have experience managing volunteers. Great. So tap into those existing partners and coalitions and funders to see what you can find. So in terms of social benefit, NJ asked, do you recommend building one app to satisfy two focuses, like one to benefit your own organization, and one to also then benefit the community that organization serves? Or should those be broken into two different apps? Like should you try to fundraise for your own work, and also try to get people to donate directly to a direct service cost? Or is it best to have those broken out, do you think? I'll put that to Keith. Well, I would say to start with that the fundraising and the build are two different questions. I think typically you would say that you would build apps, separate apps towards each audience from the actual technology you build. As Anna was saying, you need to be pretty narrow cast in your apps to make sure that they accomplish the goals of that specific audience. From a fundraising perspective, it is often some projects are more attractive than others. So it may be easier, and I as a person who does a lot of fundraising for our stuff finds it often easier to bundle the ask. If I have a couple of projects and maybe one is not as attractive as the other, of course that direct service app is going to have often more attractiveness to a funder than maybe something that also helps you build donor intimacy and expand your donor base or something like that, or help you accomplish something operationally more effectively, those of you that work in large organizations. So from a funding standpoint, I would look at bundling them perhaps and how they fit under a common theme, but from a development standpoint I would err towards the eye of having discreet apps for the discreet audiences. Great, thanks Keith. We have a question that I think Anna might be able to address best from MJ asking, did you have or should we plan for legal costs for reviewing an app's legal consequences especially if we work with at-risk populations? So what kind of legal oversight had to happen, if any, for safe night? Yes, definitely have legal review. And that can often be whatever legal counsel you have set up now, whether you have a pro bono firm or if you're paying for it. I don't know, nonprofits have different situations. They don't necessarily have to have a lot of experience in mobile app technology, but having some is good. And having somebody who's willing to say, yes, I'm going to do the research to understand it. Because of the credit card processing, we had to make sure that that was in our terms and conditions. So we had to fill out special forms for our legal review to say what we were doing with the credit card information, if it was going to be stored, how it was going to work, what level of encryption we were using. And I'm happy to share that resource afterwards, the checklist that we used. It also included things like, does it have a confirmed step before the credit card is submitted? So the legal review is very important, especially when you have, like I said, personally identifying information, credit card or financial information, or if you have any sort of risky information like domestic violence agencies are very technophobic because people can often hack. And so they wanted to be assured that no information about the survivors would be available for hackers. So we made very specific choices about that, and we had legal review. So to piggyback on that, we had a couple of questions from Larry about how do you set up security on your app and what sort of privacy guidelines? So Keith, is that something that you might be able to tackle? I can start, maybe. So there's a couple of things. Transitioning from our last conversation is one of the things is just to make sure from a documentation standpoint and your terms and conditions you've addressed, how you're handling the information, then before we move into technical, maybe one of the logical steps is to think about how to minimize your risk at the same time, maybe maximize your value of having the app and things stored in the app. For example, one of the things we did as you saw in the movie there is that the general name and address information and things like that, we are storing on the app. And so we have to have security around that, but then we actually limited our risk and our technical challenge by not storing the actual credit card number and related information on the app, but more making that pass through and leveraging the gateways of the large technology companies like VeriSign for that. Now of course it does mean the user has to enter that credit card information each time. So we made a logical choice there of how we constructed the app to reduce the technical demand. Then the third thing I'll say is that to the extent that you can use, that you can use as much as possible predefined objects and kits, now we have a Microsoft bias that we work in several different platforms at Aid Matrix. We certainly are a significant Microsoft shop using the VB.Visual Studio and that background enables and helps ensure that you're doing things in a productive way and gives you access to objects and things like that to help with your security measures. That is something to think about for your app and some of the interplay sometimes with some web back ends is you will need a little bit of expense and some time around, sometimes some of that secure socket layer stuff. We use GeoTrust but there are several out there for some of those components. Great. Thanks Keith. I want to tackle a couple of quick questions hopefully so we can get through a few more before we round out at the top of the hour. So what software was used to create the video? Angela wants to know. That was Camtasia by TechSmith. Okay, great. And we also had a question asking if there are any other recommendations similar to App Maker because we were just told that App Maker is going to be taking itself offline. I haven't verified that but other suggestions of App Makers? I have used iBuild App, oh sorry Anna, but I've used it's just www.theletteri, then build, then app.com. I built a little e-book on it and had no technical knowledge was required for that very basic content. Yeah, and it really depends. Also another partner of ours, another nonprofit that focuses on schools, Digital Wish has an e-book builder that you can put a bunch of content and media in videos, that sort of thing and it'll make a very app-like experience for you. And then also on this slide there's also App Builder but you can search on it and look for similar things and give it a try. A lot of them will let you try to build it for free and will only charge you once they're going to submit it to the Marketplace on your behalf. Great, thanks. And just a note because somebody asked if the emulator was free and if it was made on Camtasia that is a purchased paid product. So it's not a free product out in the Marketplace. And the emulator is part of Visual Studio for those of you who work in Microsoft Visual Studio. Okay, and then we had a couple of people asking if there's a way to give feedback from the app itself and if there was a way to become a beta tester for the app, for the safe night specifically. Yes, in the app itself we have in the Contact Us screen, we have one that says Safe Night Feedback so that if you're in the app you can just put that and type a short message to us. Also to become a beta tester, email me and we can talk about it especially if you're in California or Texas. Great, and then I guess one quick question before we wrap up and then maybe it's not that quick but if you could give an estimate of how long it took to build this, how long has this process been for the actual app creation or how long has each phase been since it's an ongoing process? Keith, I'll let you weigh in some but I think each app is going to be different. This one has had lots of different starts like I said. We were going in one direction and then we changed direction and they're getting going and fundraising and all that. So we've been working I think it's about a year on the project, the development though. Keith, what would you say in terms of how many months of active development? Yeah, I would, to Anne's point we've built more than just an app with this program and of course we're both very passionate about it but it is a whole system that's involved getting a lot of different folks together. From a core development standpoint, typically you can get some material piece of functionality together in less than a quarter or shoot for a quarter including getting something released to the marketplace so 12, 13 weeks. Back to Anne's point about agile, a lot of times you have to do a little bit of larger development closer to a waterfall to get one chunk out but I would say try not to develop too long before getting something up for people to interact with. Great, and we will share contact info in the follow-up email as well as these resources. We are at the top of the hour so I'm going to go ahead and wrap it up but I guess the moral of the story is that if you're building a big project app like this one where it's a system it's going to take some considerable resources and time and fundraising efforts. It's not an app to just poke your friends on Facebook so think wisely about whether it's worth your time and resources of your organization to invest in this type of app development. We will have more resources available to you on mobile throughout the month of July so please check back with TechSoup and watch for more upcoming events on this topic. I'd like to quickly thank our webinar sponsor ReadyTalk who provides this platform for our youth to present these webinars to you. So thank you to them. I'd like to thank Keith and Anna for your terrific presentations. We will and also thank Allie for grabbing all those questions on the back end. If we did not get to your questions you are welcome to join us in our community forums at TechSoup.org slash community where you can continue the conversation and join discussions about mobile technologies. Thank you so much everyone and have a terrific afternoon.

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! So for this video, I'm going to be doing an I Tried Following a 1950s hair tutorial. Now before we get started I want to give a huge shout out to the sponsor of this video which is Function of Beauty. Function of Beauty is a custom shampoo and conditioning company that gives you a formula that's specifically made for you and they make you take a too many quiz and get to know you and get to know your hair so they can make the best formula for your hair. It's pretty cool. And yes, it's 100% vegan, cruelty-free, no GMOs, no sulfates, and no parabens. So you can be sure it's actually really good for your hair. A feature that literally blew me away was the fact that you can pick the color and you can pick the scent of your products. So of course I had to go for a super 1950s looking little duo here. I got this like in an aqua color and this in a pastel pink and I got the scent in vanilla since vanilla was very popular in the 50s. But I have been loving it as you can tell. I've already kind of emptied it out but let's shake it up and make it look like I just got it. I have really really curly hair so it's naturally very dry. So that's like the number one thing I put in my in my quiz thing. It has to be packed with a lot of moisture and so far it's doing really really good. Like it's moving nicely. Usually when my hair is dry it's very stiff. So this product is available in the US, Australia, Great Britain, Europe, and in New Zealand. And if you guys want to get 20% off your first order make sure you click the link down below in the description box. Alright so now let's go ahead and try the tutorial and I'm gonna say try because I don't know if it's gonna go well. I can't promise you that. So this hair tutorial is called Teenage Hairstyles of the 50s. Techniques and accessories and specifically is from 1956. Now what's interesting about any video tutorial that I found from the 1950s is that they don't really walk you through the steps. They kind of just show you and you just have to keep rewinding and keep watching it over over again until you get it. So this is gonna be a real challenge. Okay so whoa whoa that was quick. Okay so let's try out. I know the girl has longer hair but I can still do a little bun so I'm going to put my hair up. It looks like her hair is really slicked back and there's some like bangs going down so I'm gonna try to do that. Oh this is actually kind of cute. I've never done my my short hair in a ponytail before. I'm kind of feeling it. Okay so I'm gonna take some Suavecita pomade and slip back the flyaways and what a little about this pomade is that it's not like a permanent thing so like if you want to change your hairstyle you just brush your hair out and it's gone. Pretty cool. So it's in a bun already so we're catching up with the guy and he's like twisting it around. This is not gonna look good. Okay that's as best as you know I'm gonna leave that out. It looks kind of good. No it doesn't. Oh you know what? You know what? I'll use my hair extensions to make a bun. A real bun. Hold on so I'm gonna grab my extensions. Hi this is my pet rat. I'm going to put it around and people have used hair extensions in the 50s and wigs so it's nothing new or against the decade. It's just this girl has naturally long hair so I'm going to make a real bun. Ooh cute. Okay and then pin it down just like you did. Okay so I need a brooch. A brooch. A brooch right? A brooch brooch. So I actually have a vintage brooch in my jewelry collection and this is what it looks like. So this brooch is by the company La Jolie and is a fashion clip imported from Western Europe's fashion centers accentuates your attire with a continental accent shapes your scarves into smart looking accessories adds sparkle and elegance. Put this right in the center of the bun. Is that what I'm going to do? I hope that looks as good as I think it does. Mayfair stylist Henry Ducosta demonstrates some original yet quite simple ideas. Here he coils Evelyn's long hair around an ordinary brooch and arranges a fringe to follow the same thing. Okay. Oh okay so he's kind of like doing like that like little pointy bang thing. So I'm gonna try to do that. Her bangs are like an Audrey style short bang baby bang. I don't have a baby bang and I never will have one because it doesn't look good on me. But I can try to like mimic that in some kind of way. Hold on. And it kind of like goes from one side to the other and then like leads into the ponytail so so this part is supposed to lead into the hair which I'm gonna have to pin. He used like it looks like he used a lot of gel. I'm not about that life so I'm just gonna pin it skillfully against the head like that. Oh I kind of like this and let me get these flyaways out the way. Okay okay but like this though I've never done a bun like any video of mine and I never thought I ever would. But I might need to do this someday. Wait wait it's only a part. Okay so I have no idea how I'm gonna get these little spiky things. Maybe I can do like the spiky things in the front like this. Breakfast at Tiffany's who I love this like bang bun double B action. I'm actually surprised it looked as good as I thought it did. Or maybe it's just because my viewfinder is like this small and from far away squinting it looks good but like it looks good. The thing that I would do if I were to go out like this I would glue the hair down to my fore head. Not to the point where it's like super slick but just so it doesn't move like if I were to walk outside and there's wind I would probably just go ahead and glue it to my head. So here's a better look at the hairstyle. I have not seen the clip yet so I guess I'm gonna find out when I edit it. So I really hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did make sure to give it a thumbs up. If you guys have any videos that you want to see in the future make sure you comment them down below and if you want to see more vintage content like this make sure to subscribe and turn on the notification bell so I can see you in my next video.

First, I would like to thank the organizers for the invitation. This has been a very stimulating week. And I think I would like to thank all the organizers that have been involved in this nice meeting, and in particular, Asia, Irene, water Dario, and Yen, and also Antonio. So I will focus my talk. A very simple example of collective behavior that happen in fish schools when they have to decide collectively and spontaneously to change their direction of motion. This is probably not as spectacular as many other forms of collective behavior that can be observed in nature that have been presented in this meeting. But at least it can be investigated quantitatively in control condition. And I hope you will see that we can learn a lot about the way individuals interact with each other and how collective decisions emerge from these interactions. Indeed, one of the fundamental questions in this field of collective animal behavior studies is how groups make decisions collectively. And this comes down to understanding the mechanisms by which individual influence each other and how these interactions are combined and integrated at the collective level. And earlier this week, Andrea Giovanni Reina presented one of a very famous example of collective decision based on direct interactions between individuals during the process of nest site selection in Hollybees. So in this situation, you have hundreds of scoots, bees that explore the environment for potential nest site. And these scoots bring back to the swarm some information about potential nest sites and they share this information with the other scoots by the means of these waggled ends. And the strengths of these waggled ends is directly proportional to the site quality. So that the scoots that are committed to high quality site execute much more vigorous dances. And as a consequence, they have a higher probability to convince other scoots to visit their site. And although they abandon their own site more slowly than the scoots that are committed to lower quality site. So there is a form of competition of information at the collective level and the information that succeed to grow faster than the others will determine in the end the final choice of the swarm. And all this story has been nicely described by Tom Sile in his book, On a Bee Democracy. And in that particular case, in fact, the entire decision making process requires sometimes the dance activity of the scoots can last several days. But in many other situations, animal groups must take a decision on a shorter time scale. For instance, when a predator is detected in the environment, in the neighborhood. And when this happens, for instance, in fish schools and bird flocks, the danger is generally detected. The video is not working. I don't know why. OK. So the danger is detected by only a small number of individuals that change their direction and speed. And this leads to the formation of an escape wave that propagate across the entire group. As you can see here, when the flock of starlings is reacting to an attack by a peregrine falcon. So this ability to rapidly and coherently react to a perturbation certainly brings some important benefits to the individual as it can provide them an advantage of detecting the predator faster. And there are also many other situations in which the perturbation is not triggered by the presence of an external threat in the environment. A group may change its collective behavior spontaneously, simply the consequence of stochastic changes that affect the behavior of a single or few individual in the group. And these behavioral changes then propagate within the group. And they lead all individuals to adopt, for instance, a new direction of motion here, for instance, in Locust, or a new form of collective motion, for instance, here in this work by the group of Hien-Ku Xin. So these situations are quite interesting because they can be analyzed and used. They can be used, in fact, to analyze in undisturbed condition how these behavioral fluctuations arise at the individual scale. And then how this information propagates within the group and determine the change in the collective behavior. So in the end, we expect to get a better understanding about how individual interact with each other during these events and how these dynamics of interactions can lead to a collective decision. And the first important step to do this kind of investigation is first to find both a species and a situation in which we can observe, in control conditions, such spontaneous change in collective behavior. And the species that we have studied is this one. It's Romino stetra, emigramus rhodostomus, which is a small tropical fish species that exhibit a strong schooling behavior, and in which that can be handled, in fact, very easily in control condition. And the average body length of these species is about 30 millimeters. And we found that when groups of these fish frame swilly in a ring-shaped term, they regularly change their direction of motion from clockwise to anticlockwise and vice versa. So with this experimental setup, we can record a very large number of these collective view terms, and by tracking the position and the heading of each individual within a group, we can also analyze the interactions between fish during these collective view terms and how the information propagates within the group. So here is the experimental setup that we use for this series of experiment. You see that it is protected from the outside with white curtain. And so there were no external visual cues that can influence the behavior of the fish. And we filled the arena with the limited depth of seawater so that the motion of fish was mostly in two dimensions. Then we tracked the position of fish with ID tracker. And here is an example of collective view terms in a group of four fish. And you can see the corresponding trajectories of each individual during the new term and also the degree of alignment of the fish with the role, which goes from minus one to plus one when the fish is swimming counterclockwise after the new term. And on each of these events, we can then identify the time of turning of each individual. So when the degree of alignment with the role equals zero and also the position of the individual when they make their new terms. Then we have investigated how these collective view terms arise in different group size from single individuals up to 20 individuals. And for each group size, we have recorded a very large number of this event that you can see here. We have more than 5,000 events in total. And as you can see here on this graph, in fact, the size of the group strongly affects the ability of a group to spontaneously perform a new term. Indeed, in groups of 10 fish, the average time interval between two successive view terms is about 20 minutes, while it's about 12 seconds in a group of two fish. So you can see that the average time interval between two successive view terms increases by two order of magnitudes when the group size is five times bigger. And the decrease in the number of collective view terms, in fact, is mainly a consequence of the fact that the probability of a fish to initiate and propagate a new term, decrease as group size increases. So individual fish tend to adopt the behavior of the majority of the group members and this tendency, in fact, inhibit the initiation of view terms. Now who are these individuals that initiate collective view terms and under what condition does it happen? In fact, in all group size that we have investigated, we found that collective view terms were usually initiated by the fish that were located at the front of the school. And once a fish has decided to make a new term, the change of the swimming direction propagates toward the rear of the group. As you can see here, when we plot the average position of individual according to their rank of turning when the U-turn is initiated. And we also found that all collective view terms are preceded by a period during which the school slows down and, in fact, as the fish speed decrease, the school is in a state close to a transition between a schooling state which is characterized by a strong alignment between fish and a swarming state which is characterized by a weak alignment. And in a previous work, we have shown that when a school is close to this transition between these two states, the swarming and the schooling, the fluctuation in the swimming direction of the fish increases, but also the school has a hole, becomes very sensitive to a perturbation that may affect the behavior of a single fish. So this may explain why all the U-turns occurs after the group has collectively slowed down in our experiments because the school is in a state near this transition between these two states. Then how does the U-turn propagate within a school once it has been initiated? So if we look at the average time interval between the successive turn of individuals, we can see that it is almost constant in a given group size. So we found no evidence for the existence of a dampening or an amplification of information as fish adapt the new direction of motion. There is no amplification like that. And moreover, on average, the turning information propagates faster in larger groups, as you can see here on the right. And this happens to be a consequence of just the increase of the swimming speed with the group size, which requires that individual react faster. And you can see indeed on the right that the reaction time of individual decreases with group size. And if we normalize the time interval between the successive turns of individual by the average speed of the group, you can see that all curves now collapse on the same curves, which suggests that the shorter reaction time, which is observed in larger groups, is mostly due to their faster swimming speed. So once the U-turn has been initiated, the wave of turning propagates in a sequential way. And this is similar to a chain of following dominoes in which the time interval between two successive folds is constant without any positive feedback. So what does it tell us exactly about the underlying phenomenon? This phenomenon suggests that, in fact, each fish mainly copied the behavior of a small number of its neighbors. Now how does this fish copy the behavior of their neighbors? And what are the interactions between individuals? We have recently characterized and modeled the functional form of this interaction from experimental data. So this hemigrammous species perform this kind of swimming, the burst and ghost type of swimming, which is characterized by a sudden sequence of sudden increase in speed, followed by mostly passive gliding period. And if we look at the variation of the velocity with time, you can clearly see this succession of short acceleration phase followed by a gliding phase in which the velocity decreases. So we call this event during which the fish changes its velocity and its direction of motion a kick. And most changes in fish heading occurs exactly at the onset of the acceleration phases. So we can analyze the fish trajectories as a series of discrete behavioral decision in time and space. And we can describe the trajectory as a succession of segments and angular changes between the segments. And here in our experiments, we found that the average duration between kicks was close to 0.5 seconds when both fish were swimming either alone or in pair. And the mean length covered between two successive kicks was about 70 millimeters, which is a little bit more than two body lengths. But the main interest of this burst and glide swimming mode is that we can use the spatial location where the kick have been performed by the fish to identify the potential stimuli or the potential information in the neighborhood that could have elicited their behavioral response. For instance, in this situation, when a fish is swimming alone, the information which is used by the fish can be, for instance, the distance to the wall or its orientation with regard to the wall. So we can measure the behavioral response of fish, which is the amplitude of the angular change when they detect the wall. And what we observe is that a fish mainly avoids the wall when it comes close to the wall. He performs a kick that sends him away from the wall. And this curve, in fact, corresponds to the intensity of the avoidance reaction of the fish as a function of the distance to the wall. Here the fish is close to the wall. Here it's far. And you can see that the range of interaction of that wall is about two body lengths. And the color dots that you can see here corresponds, in fact, to the experimental data that we have gathered in different arena size. And you can see that the reaction of fish, in fact, do not depend on the size of the tank. And the pink curve that you can see here, in fact, is just the fitted function to this data that we can use in the model. What we can also observe is that the intensity of the fish reaction is strongly reduced when a fish is parallel to the wall. Here it's minus 90 degrees or 90 degrees. So this is interesting because when the fish is parallel to the wall, in fact, it seems to be not really interact with the wall. And when the fish is far from the wall, it no longer interact with that wall. And you can see that in this situation, in fact, the distribution of angular changes between two successive kick is a narrow Gaussian, which is peak on zero. And this Gaussian distribution introduce a kind of directional inertia in the fish movement. Now, what about the interaction between fish? Here are the results that we have obtained. I'm not going into the detail about the way we extract this interaction function, but we can go back to this paper to have all the detail. It's a little bit technical. And what we found is that there is a continuous combination of attraction and alignment interaction whose intensity depends on the distance, on the angular position, and on the relative orientation of individuals. So the strengths of these attraction and alignment behavior depend on three parameters. And this makes very difficult the use of simple 2D behavioral maps to characterize and then model the functional form of this interaction between fish. So first, if we look at the influence of the distance between fish on the intensity of the alignment of attraction, you can see when the distance of fish is less than 30 millimeters, which correspond to one body length, there is a short range repulsion. This is the attraction. You can see here it's a negative attraction, so it's a repulsion. And then at the distance between the fish increases, the attraction here in red becomes more important and reaches a maximum value around 200 millimeters, which corresponds about to six to seven body lengths. We also found that the alignment interactions dominates the attraction up to 2.5 body lengths while the attraction becomes more dominant for larger distance. And as the distance between the fish increases even more, attraction, the attraction must of course decrease, something like that. But we have not been able to measure this effect because of the limited size of the experimental tanks and also because of the lack of data, because we do not have a lot of situation when the two fish were far away from each other. And the full line that you can see here in fact correspond to the functional forms of the attraction and alignment interaction that can be fit to the experimental data. We can also clearly see that the behavioral response of fish are strongly modulated by the anisotropic perception of their environment and this leads to an asymmetry of the interactions between fish, depending on their relative position in particular. You can see that the maximum amplitude of the alignment interaction here in blue is when a neighboring fish is located either on the front right or on the front left and then you can see that it decreases as the focal fish, as the neighbors move toward the back of the focal fish. So the social force which is exerted by the fish J on a fish I is much more important than the social force which is exerted by the fish I on fish J when J is in front of I. And this asymmetry of the interactions may explain also why the U-turns are mostly initiated by the fish that are located at the front of the group. And indeed at this position, the individual experience a weaker influence from the other fish. So this frontal individual are much, they are much subject to heading fluctuation especially when the speed of the group decrease and at the consequence they are less inhibited to initiate a U-turn. Then we have checked that the implementation of these interaction functions in a burst and glide model qualitatively and quantitatively reproduce the movements of pair of fish in a circular arena. You can see that the fish tend to stay close to the wall and also close to each other but the temporary leader which is in the front is much more closer than the temporary follower. So we find a very good agreement between the model and the experiments if we consider the distance between the fish but also the distribution of the orientation of fish with regard to the wall. But the big question is to understand how a fish integrate multiple interactions with the other fish and how the combination of these interactions affects its behavior. So to better understand the combined effect, the combined impact of the tendency of a fish to adopt the behavior of a few of its neighbors, what we call social conformity, of the asymmetry of interaction between fish and also the impact of group size on the propagation of information during collective U-turns. We build an easy type spin model. It's a very simple model. So in this model each fish is represented by an agent that can only move in two directions, either clockwise or anti-clockwise. When it moves clockwise, its direction is minus one when it moves and plus one when it moves anti-clockwise. And in the model, the relative position of individual and the interaction networks are kept fixed here, you can see, which is obviously a simplification. However, one can justify this simplification because during the very few seconds before a U-turn, the topological structure of the group doesn't change much in particular for the fish which is located at the front of the group. So the agents are positioned in staggered row that correspond to the fact that when group size is increasing, the shape of the group becomes more elongated. And in this configuration, each agent in the model can only interact with a small number of their direct neighbors between one and two. And the strength of the interaction between an agent I and its neighbor J only depends on two parameters. The first one, J, control the strength of social conformity. So the strengths with which a fish adopt the behavior of its neighbor. And as a consequence, this parameter here control the stiffness of the group behavior. And the second parameter, alpha, controls the anisotropic perception of the fish and the asymmetry of interaction. So this parameter accounts for the fact that the fish reacts stronger to a frontal stimuli. So when J is in front of I, alpha, I, J equal one plus epsilon. And when J is behind hind, it equal one minus epsilon. And epsilon is a coefficient of asymmetry that is kept constant for all group size. So at a given moment, we can compute the propensity of an individual to make a U-turn. And this propensity only depends on its current direction and the direction of its neighbor and the strengths of the interaction. And this propensity to make a U-turn reflects in some way the level of discomfort of an individual that can be expressed in the following way. You can see that the level of discomfort, the discomfort of a fish I is minimum when all its neighbors are locally aligned and maximum when the fish, in fact, is in opposite direction of all its neighbors. So when a fish flip, then we can compute the change of its discomfort, which is associated with a probability to accept the turn and the strengths of the social conformity, a J, as you can see here, controls the nonlinearity of the acceptance probability. And you can see that for how high value of J, if the turn would increase the discomfort of the agent, the probability to accept the turn is very low. And on the contrary, if the turn would, in fact, decrease the level of discomfort, you can see that the probability to accept the turn is very high. So we use this model to explore both the impact of J and epsilon on the collective dynamics. And we found a couple of values for these parameters that lead to a fair agreement between the simulation result and the experimental data for all group size. In particular, the model here in red quantitatively reproduced the effect of group size on the dynamics of collective U-turns. So the number of collective U-turns decreases as collective U-turn increases. And we also find in the model that the tendency of individuals to initiate U-turn and move in the opposite direction of the other fish decreases with group size here. The model also reproduced quite well the impact of group size of the probability to initiate a U-turn. And the simulation of the model also reproduced quite well the sequential propagation of information both in space and time. And in particular here, you can see on this graph the crucial impact of the anisotropic perception of fish, which is controlled by epsilon here. So this is in gray. This is when there is no anisotropy. So you can see that, in fact, the information, the U-turn can be initiated both at the front and at the back of the school. There is no more asymmetry. And in the model, in fact, this individual that initiates a U-turn are located at the boundaries of the group. And since these individuals have the same probability to initiate a U-turn, you can see that when there is no asymmetry, in fact, there is no particular direction. No particular direction is favored. And the U-turn can propagate from the front to the back or to the back and to the front. So the anisotropic perception of fish impose a directionality to the propagation wave. The model also reproduces creatively well the linear propagation of information at the individual scale. So how do U-turn propagate within the group? And we find in the model the same domino-like propagation of direction of motion across the group that we have observed in the experiments. And finally, the model predicts that once we scale by the U-turn duration, in fact, the average swimming direction profile doing a collective U-turn is independent of the group size. So you can see that despite the fact that we have only two free parameters in our model, G and epsilon, that we have also fixed apological configuration and only nearest neighbor interaction, you can see that the model is able to reproduce quite well the chains of turning decision and also the main features of the experiment of the experiments. So to summarize our results, you have seen that the detail quantitative analysis of the propagation of information within a group during these collective U-turns, both at the individual and collective scale, I showed that the speed decrease facilitated the amplification of fluctuation in the heading of the group, which can trigger the U-turn. And this observation is in agreement with our previous theoretical prediction. We have seen that there is a linear propagation of information in all group size, and that the time between two successive individual performing U-turns doesn't decrease with the number of fish that have already performed a U-turn. This means that there is no amplification of the individual tendency to perform a U-turn. And the fact that we observe this linear propagation also suggests that each fish only interact with a small number of their neighbors, typically one and two. And we get, in fact, a similar result using a different kind of analysis, based this time on short-term correlation, direction correlation, that also show that the movement choice of a fish are affected only by one or two influential neighbors. And the fish regularly shift from one neighbor to the others. And we have also seen that a simple model that integrates this effect of social conformity that is the nonlinear tendency of individuals to imitate the behavior of a small number of its close neighbor and that also integrate the asymmetric interactions between fish, reproduce the sequential propagation of information within the group, and at least for the group size that we have studied in the experiment. And also, the main features are the dynamics that we observe in our experiments. Finally, I would like to thank all these people that have been involved in this work in the past five years. So Valentin Lecheval, Daniel Kalovi, Alexandra Lechinko, Lee Jung, and Piattici in my group, in Toulouse. Also, Charlotte M. Reich, who co-supervised Piagetisus, Valentin Lecheval, Hucchati from the French Atomic Energy Commission, and Clemenci from the theoretical physics lab in Toulouse. Thank you very much.

Hi, my name is Jackie Y. Rock and we are here today with our guest Lauren and Lauren is from Aromad Aromad She's going to tell us Where this name came from her store is right down the road from us at Orca Media on State Street and Lauren, welcome. Hi. Thank you for having me. My pleasure joining us. This show is Designed to talk about how individuals can be more proactive in their their well-being and Not just relying on the go-to-the-doctor Once a year or get your check up Maybe be directed to some specialists, but to be more like how can I really? Take care of my self be in charge of my wellness and when I walked into your store And I I saw what you were doing. I thought you'd be perfect to come on and talk to us. So the name Thank you. How did that come out? Thank you Well, I was trying to find a name that would represent Aromatic medicine, which is basically what I do is I use a concentrated plant oils as medicine and so I Came up with first. It was aroma medicine and then we we made it smaller. It's aromid aromid aromatherapy and It kind of says it all so and we came up with an amazing logo and so it it's stuck And so there you have it aromid aromatherapy. So you Were working as a nurse in another life. How long were you doing that? Oh, I was a psychiatric nurse on and off for 12 or 13 years Okay, I was a charge nurse at the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury. I was there until the flood Of course destroyed the hospital and I was eventually laid off there But I I was a charge nurse for the area of the hospital called a what we called a treatment mall It was an area of the hospital where patients who were deemed stable enough would come over and do psychosocial Rehab work and we would have parties there and music and it was it was it was a wonderful thing for the patients that a very normalizing activity for them to be able to have a place to go and activities to do and Of course and that was actually where I was first introduced to aromatherapy We were exploring bringing essential oil therapies into the state hospital and then the flood came and I kind of forgot about it for a little while Until I was rehired at Central Vermont Medical Center where I had worked years ago and they were putting together a sensory program and we didn't we had wonderful things like a Meditation music therapy journaling yoga those types of things that engage different senses But we didn't have anything for olfaction and that's when I began to think about the aromatherapy again and I brought essential oils in I started with frankincense lavender and orange and Started making nasal inhalers for the patients to help them manage their symptoms and It was met with great enthusiasm and success so those three particular oils. What do they would symptoms do they help manage I? was really focused on Helping people with anxiety That's that's a big issue for many many people not just people suffering from psychiatric illnesses But people in general people are pretty high anxiety right now and all of those oils are Good for that lavender in particular. There's I mean anecdotally and historically. We've known that lavender is great for anxiety It helps promote sleep Very calming to the nervous system and now science is caught up with all of this anecdotal information and it's you know Essential oils. It's all about chemistry. Yeah, there are certain chemical constituents in essential oils that target certain body systems and Lavender for an example targets the nervous system. So when breathing it You get a relaxation response that actually slows your heart rate slows your breathing down quiets the mind and helps you feel less stressed and So lavender is probably the most famous essential oil, but there are there are dozens of Amazing choices. You mentioned frankincense. Mm-hmm. Yes. What is that one for? frankincense a Lot of these oils including the lavender have multiple uses okay in the context of psychiatry It was good as an anxiolytic, you know, and anti-anxiety. Okay. I know Sorry Yeah, it's this is good for decreasing anxiety There are other ways you can use frankincense frankincense is a resin oil and In order to get a frankincense resin oil, you actually have to wound a tree a frankincense tree And what happens is there's like a sap that comes out of the tree in order to heal the wound that has been inflicted on upon the tree and what Gatherers do is they wait until that dries off and then they they harvest that Resin that dried sap and then that is then hydra distilled and it makes an amazing essential oil and interestingly it's an that resin is there to heal the wound on the tree and Interestingly the oil is extremely healing to wounds of the skin and of the soul It's it's remarkable in skin care for aging skin for slow healing wounds It's great for meditation. They're really kind of slows down breathing frankincense is an aroma that's been used widely in spiritual and religious services Since the beginning of time really that's what I remember thinking of it is from Christmas plays exactly like that frankincense. Yeah. Yeah, I was raised Catholic so that the first time I smelled frankincense essential oil. I was immediately at st. Monica's You know it's so yeah, there are a lot of associations with aromas and triggering of memories so with aromas We know we can go into your store and we can purchase it But is it being used in the medical community? Yes, more and more in fact When I as an example just at Central Vermont Medical Center on the psychiatric unit where I introduced essential oils I haven't worked there for a year and a half and that program has continued because it's been so Popular with the patients and what's nice about it is it gives it gives patients alternatives to The pharmaceuticals, you know when if you're feeling anxious before we brought aromatherapy in We had other options, but mostly it was the medications It's like you'd offer them at a van or clonopin these highly addictive benzodiazepines, which there's a time and place for those during really acute phases, but We we our goal was to get patients to be more self-reliant less dependent on some of these types of meds and To use other skills and so the aromatherapy was a great option. So instead of asking me for an at a van They would reach into their pocket and get out their frankincense inhaler or their or their lavender inhaler And it was just more empowering So they even they recognize what the symptom is and that they can take care of themself Exactly the pill that's awesome. Now. What about this just came to mind People who have been on medication for a long period of time and if they want to be using aromatherapy to Decrease or entirely do away with medication. Is there a way to do that? That's safe I know there's a lot of side effects with coming out of there are they I would never want anybody to do that without being Under the care of their physician Right and in you know with the physician being aware of what they're wanting to do I think that it's possible to substitute certain medications by weaning off slowly While introducing things like herbs or essential oils to kind of fill that gap Do you do herbs at your store? Or is it only oils? Primarily oils. I do use some herbal infused oils as carriers with essential oils 99 of the time you want to dilute them. They're extremely concentrated very strong And it's appropriate to dilute them typically. Yeah, see I don't do that sometimes And I just put the lavender on my pillowcase and I think that's probably not that's okay. That's okay Okay, when I'm thinking undiluted it's primarily Concerns about people putting undiluted oils on the skin. Okay, you can actually over a period of time You can become sensitized to that oil and it's kind of sad. I have a friend Ann who Used to use lavender as her personal aroma and she would put the lavender essential oil on her skin like behind here back of her neck And she really developed an allergic response to it and she can't use lavender anymore And that's kind of sad Well, tell me some success stories of people who have used so many I mean and I wanted to say a little bit more too about Using essential oils in clinical settings and it's really nurses Who are clinically trained in aromatherapy that are really pushing aromatherapy forward into hospital settings We're seeing essential oils being used in nursing homes in fact I have a consult with a nursing home up in Essex next week to try to figure out how to use essential oils to Help the elders with their appetite, you know to get maybe lightly sending a dining space with A citrus can actually get the digestive juices flowing and increase appetite and food intake You know, that's just an example or lavender at night to decrease Nighttime agitation or insomnia. There's nursing homes are great places for essential oils and You know after you know cancer treatment nausea Kimo induced nausea and vomiting has been very well addressed with ginger Just inhaling ginger or inhaling sweet marjoram through an inhaler to help decrease pain So when you say an inhaler, what did that look like? They're like little tubes that have cotton rods that you soak with the essential oils And then you just close them up Unscrew them and put them to your nose And inhale them when you need them and they're used a lot and in hospital settings And I I think we're going to see it more and more and more Because We were where we are seeing it. We're seeing high levels. Oh, that's my phone. Sorry High levels of patient satisfaction With no side effects and that's unheard of So That's that's one of the beautiful things about amazing side effects. No negative side effects when I'm watching television and I I generally record everything that I watch so I don't have to watch commercials because all of our commercials now are about um pharmaceuticals and what it's going to help you with but then it seems as if the side effects are more Dangerous than what the original intent of the medication was to heal So this has no side effects Not if they're used properly and not if they're yeah Do you feel like they're you're a threat to the pharma? Cytical industry do they have essential oils breathing down their back? I like to think i'm a threat, but no, I don't think so I think There are always going to be people out there. They're they're just going to want their pharmaceuticals and Although I I think that number of people is decreasing I'm finding more and more people that I would have considered more mainstream Which I certainly was eight or nine years ago before I I would have reached for the pill before I would have reached for the herb So what changed it for you? Having that experience with the oils in the clinical setting it really It woke me up In a way that was pretty pretty astounding I mean it to the point where I Dedicated yours and a lot of resources To become trained to be able to be a practitioner to be able to bring this form of plant medicine to other people And it was a huge life change for me to retire from nursing and I never Nine years ago if you told me I was going to do this I would have told you you were delusional And then I had a pill for you for that too Well, it's funny because I think um like I I grew up on the east coast, but I moved to Los Angeles and was there for many years and a lot of The things that I would come back and talk about people like oh, yeah, that's just that California who we really crap and Yeah, I could see that people might think that with this as well Especially for someone like yourself who was so enmeshed in the medical System, but yet you got that great experience of seeing such positive results. Did was there anybody who was? reluctant To try this it was very interesting In the hospital setting the psychiatrists were all about it I expected that they I'd get some resistance some pushback from the psychiatrist And it was just the opposite. I I did have some Nurses that had some resistance. Okay But were they older or younger? Older. Okay. Yeah Set in their ways, but There was oh my gosh. I'm so sorry the resistance didn't last very long Okay, because they saw the experience. Yeah, I mean they they saw that it was working and the the patients were We're having really significant positive benefits So it's how do you argue against that and then also when I'm encountering people who are resistant? I just I just talk science You know, I mean like I said going back. This is chemistry. Right. It's all about certain chemical constituents working in physiologically and Psychologically on your body and it's it's um And there's you can go to someplace like pub med where they gather all of this information all these different studies so if you want to go and Look at different studies that have been done on say essential oils you can plug that in at pub med And you'll see thousands upon thousands of studies That have been done that actually support the efficacy of these essential plant oils So you talked about you've made this huge change Where did you go to get educated and make this transition and how long did it take and I got um educated my my I've Had several teachers, but my initial teacher was a woman named Andrea bougie who um She owns a School called aroma head institute And I was part of the last group that she taught in person She's only doing online right now Uh, so I feel really fortunate that I because I'm not an online learner I had this opportunity to go to ifica new york and study with 24 other amazing Women for five weeks And so I got my certification In in one summer and then since then I've I've studied with uh more along the clinical vein with top aromatherapist from around the planet Mark webb rean and harris lewis Robert tissera and Those are not probably not names that would mean much to you or your viewers, but people in my field. They're the cream of the crop so it's Is it safe to say it's an ongoing educational variety of experience for you or it's you've got your base and now There are no more herbs. There's no more oils. This is what you work with There's always something to learn and I've I mean I've done things I'll go and do an aromatherapy Um workshop and just talk about the respiratory system for a week. Wow or the gastrointestinal system I've done You know just pain pain man pain is huge and pain can very very Effectively be managed with essential plant oils or you know immune system support While women's health issues um Skin care skin issues like eczema psoriasis all of these things can be Remedyed with the appropriate use of Specific essential oils that are target those certain body systems. So do you do workshops? I do I do a lot of teaching. I'd like to do more Do you do them here? I I do I do some at my store smaller workshops And then I often will do workshops up but the vermont center for integrative verbalism They have a nice classroom there It's a great space wonderful and I I yeah, I do it when I can it's it's time consuming I'd like to do more but at this point a lot of my energy is going into New product creation I've recently discovered cbd. Have you heard of cbd? No, tell me about it cbd is called cannabidiol. It's cannabidiol is from the hemp plant, which is like a cousin of the marijuana plant Um, but it's legal And it's there's no thc. So you don't have the psychoactive downside of thc So you don't get high and it like I said, it's legal and it's an amazing plant medicine Um, I sort of bought some cbd By accident and I was like oh what I'm I wasn't sure what to do with it And I started using it in this pain blend that I uh had some amazing essential oils in there But I wanted to see if the cbd would make Potentiate the benefits of the essential oils and it did in a very dramatic way And it's now my like my best seller. I just can't keep it on the shelf So for someone like me who occasionally gets headaches that can be debilitating Is this something that I would want to try? Absolutely. Okay Yeah, and some some practitioners will use just cbd the cannabidiol oil on its own I in my practice, I've found that the combination of the cbd Along with the essential oils has been Quite remarkable to the point where I'm I'm working on a whole line of cbd essential oil roll-ons and Saves that'll be coming on to the market probably within the next two or three weeks and I plan on just Spreading them out far and wide and getting them out in other retail settings. And I'm that confident that wonderful Yeah, I get positive feedback every single day. Oh, that's got to be so fulfilling. Yeah, I mean, you're really helping people So do you miss being a nurse in any way? Not really because it's It's very interesting so much of what I was doing as a psychiatric nurse has carried over into What I do in retail interestingly enough, you know, people come into the store and A lot of them they just need a little extra support and guidance And as to what to do to help with their circumstances and And we're we're there to help them with that That's so wonderful. Now the people that you have working there besides yourself. Are they Practitioners are they apprentices? I have I have two people working for me one in particular Her name is don rose who I met her actually as a cut She was a customer customer of mine in my previous site and this was a woman who's had a lot of strongly intuitive She had a strongly intuitive nature about the oils and I was always amazed by Her insights around the oils and she didn't really have any education around them.

Hey, what's going on guys, welcome to a new video. So in this one, I want to share with you my top five products for February 2023. Every single product I recommend on this channel is always backed by the data. When it comes to picking and selecting your products that you want to move forwards with and commit to and try and sell as much as possible of, then it's really important that you don't just pick products at random. There's certain indicators and signs behind every single winning product. So in this past week or so, I've done my best to go out there and put probably two to three hours of my own time into researching these products. So I've gone on to platforms like sell the trend, platforms like drop a spy, which is great for finding those products, which have that verification across social media. I've then cross referenced and compared this against what Google Trends is saying. I've checked out the Facebook ads library. I've checked out competitors. I've gone on to the TikTok ads library. I've checked suppliers out on AliExpress and their order numbers. So you can be sure that every product you're going to see in this video is trending and in demand, making them great options to sell for February of 2023. I've put together a presentation which I'm going to be working through, which contains all of the links as well as copy and paste templates for the different product descriptions for each of these products. So if you want to get your hands on a copy of this for 100% free, then if we can get this video to, let's go for 23 likes seeing as it's 2023. Once the video hits 23 likes, I will post a free download link in the pinned top comment of this video. And so with that being said, thanks for tuning in guys. I hope you enjoy this one and let's jump straight into it. So product number one is this volcano effect. It's kind of like jellyfish volcano effect diffuser. The reason why I wanted to put it in this video is because diffusers have a proven track record, especially when it comes to Facebook. Over the last sort of six years or so, all the way back from when I first got started in dropship in every single year, there was always one or two diffusers which sold really, really well. The key thing being new styles. Every time a new styles come on, something like this which kind of adds a sense of warmth to the room and with it being February, then I'm extremely confident in this being the next best thing when it comes to diffusers. If we take a look at this clip of these last few seconds, you can see the kind of cool effect that it creates. It's definitely gonna be kind of like a focal point of a room or at least a conversation starter and posting a video like this across social media. It's gonna get eyes on it. It's gonna get attention because it's not every day that you see a product like this which has these cool sort of effects. So in my opinion as well, when it comes to winning products, then attention is everything. So anything that has that kind of cool visual effects or visually pleasing kind of mind, eye grabbing attention and they tend to be the products that always do well because people wanna tag it and use social media to its strengths, to its benefits. Every time somebody tags a friend or shares it, there's potentially hundreds of people extra that you're going to reach for no added cost. So the benefits just to recap quickly because I've already mentioned some of these. Number one, it's a popular niche. Those kind of home decorative related products tend to always do well. The home and garden niches always do well on social media. It's an ideal target market for Facebook. You've probably heard me say this time and time again but it's 100% true. The best buyers on Facebook are females over the age of 50. Number two, it's a good price range to some good profit margins to be had which makes it easier. Not easy but easier to make a profit on the front end. Number three, it's a proven concept which I've already mentioned. Number four, easy content creation. If I was you, I would buy two or three of these things, line them up, switch lights off and switch it on and just have that kind of really effective, cool before and after effect. You could also hire some influencers or actors on Fiverr to do some UGC content as well. Number five, ideal for TikTok. I think there's definitely a market to be had for the young audience. I think there's a lot and lot more people that want to become social media influencers in their setup at home is everything and a product like this is perfect to keep on your desk. And number six, like I've already mentioned, it's a new style, it's something people won't have seen before and therefore it's gonna do a really great job of getting eyes on and grabbing people's attention. Is the product trending then? It is to some degree, however, I would class this more as like a consistent seller. If we have a look at the info for Defuser for the past 12 months, this is just the UK so obviously check the country that you're based in. It's consistent seller all year round. So these are the types of products that people are buying all the time. It doesn't matter what the month is with a slight increase in popularity of Q4 which is typical for pretty much any e-commerce product. So as it says there, it's not a pump and dump product. If you're looking to build a brand that has a consistent seller and a consistent kind of reliable income through every single month of the year, then Defusers may be the niche for you. As for Facebook ad creative then, I found a really nice one for this product. Let's just put it back to the beginning and that is the first kind of one or two seconds opening up a super up close visual shot of the product with it firing out the top there. It shows in those first two seconds exactly what the product is, what it does and gives that really cool effect. It's definitely the sort of thing which is gonna capture people's attention. And if you put it in front of the right audience then I think you're gonna be onto a winner. As a product description then because it is quite a cool visual product I think there's like a lot of different ways you could go for it. However, this is what I put together. The Volcano Defuser is an innovative aroma diffuser that adds a touch of nature to your home or office. I think it's gonna be kind of like the biggest applications for this. How does it work? This unique diffuser uses ultrasonic technology to create a mist that resembles a volcano eruption adding a calm and a peaceful atmosphere to your surroundings. Simply add water and your favorite essential oils to the base and enjoy the soothing mist and fragrances. Features, the Volcano Defuser also features a color changing LED light that enhances the ambience. It's compact and stylish design makes a great addition to any room whether you're looking to add some tranquility to your home or office. The Volcano Defuser is the perfect solution. As for profit margins and the numbers, the cost of this product for the supply I just showed you was 19 pounds 50. I recommend retail price of in and around 40 pounds. That would be the starting point if it was me which would leave a pretty healthy profit margin on the front end of 20 pounds and 49 pence per sale. As for targeting, my starting point would be ideal home, house, beautiful interior design, new home, modern furniture and Zara home. All of those sorts of interests which are related to people who wanna create kind of like a modern atmosphere or a modern kind of interior inside their homes. That being said guys, that's product number one. Hope you enjoyed it. We've got four more great products coming up. Before we go any further though, I do please ask that if you are enjoying the video make sure you hit that subscribe button so you can stay up to date with my latest content. Product number two are these toy storage bags. These have been sold really successfully in the past. January, February and March are the best months for products like this because we're now completed Christmas. Kids have unpacked all their toys with played with them and like any normal kid they haven't packed them away. So products like this which make it easier for a parent to stay on top of the mess are just gonna be guaranteed winners in these kind of following on months. If we take a look on AliExpress and put the search term of toy storage bag in, there's loads of different variants. So you could definitely build like a one product store around this product and offer these kind of like animal variants on the right here. You could go for the very basic and cheaper options which is just this blue bag or you could then add some more kind of floral patterns and fun patterns for those people who want a nicer looking product like these two here. The benefits of the products then like I've already mentioned, ideal perfect time of year. It's a perfect market for Facebook. I mentioned it for the previous products that ideal customized 50 plus and a female as well. So these are gonna be people who have grandchildren and want to buy things like this to help make their sons or daughters live easier when it comes to bringing up a young child. It's got great margins. It's quite a cheap product so we can definitely make some profit on the front end here as well. Number four, easy content too. I'd definitely be reaching out to some influencers or UGC creators to actually talk about the products and show in real terms how effective it is and help keep in a room clean. Easy targeting, which I'll be covering in a second. And last but certainly not least is there's no big competition for this product either. I'll show you some of the examples of what's out there at the moment. It's certainly be easy to come in and kind of trump what's already out there, establish yourself or authoritize yourself as the best or biggest seller of this. If we have a look at what's already out there then when it comes to, so this is just Facebook symbol search for toy storage bags. We've got this kind of one here. It's not a dropship in store. I've got somebody selling theirs here. So this is obviously somebody who's bought one from a dropshipper or from Aliexpress themselves and decided to sell it on. This isn't really relevant. This isn't either. There's not many people selling this sort of product and if they are, so there's somebody here selling it. That's kind of somebody here selling it. There's nobody doing a really good job of it. So there's definitely, at least in my mind, an opportunity for somebody to come in here and kind of establish themselves as the authority seller of this product. Before we move into the profit margins then, I'm gonna take like an average across the board for all the different types. So there's 10 pounds, there's five pounds, there's seven pounds, six pounds, six pounds. Depending on the type you're going for, I would definitely go more high end on this. So you come across as a more professional and legitimate business and kind of like a more established brand rather than just sell the cheapest plastic-y products you can. So I'm gonna put the average price at eight pound. I'd recommend a retail price of in and around 30 pounds. I think that's more than reasonable, which would leave a front end profit margin of just under 22 pounds. As for tags and then, we wanna target those toys which this product offers a solution to. So you could go for toys in general, but then if it was me, I'd go for something a bit more specific. So Legos, Legos, obviously this is the perfect product. It's kind of keep all those Legos in one place. You could go for home hacks, hot wheels, those small kind of toys, hot wheels, those small cars of course, Hasbro again, small components. And of course I would then target specifically parents with preschoolers or parents with those young children which have a need and requirement for this product. The product description I've put together for this then. So the tickable format would be an introduction followed by the different features and benefits split into paragraphs. So you can edit and extend this as you so choose. So the intro would go, our toy storage bag is the perfect solution for organizing and decluttering your child's playroom. Made with durable washable fabric. This bag features a spacious interior and strong handles for easy carrying. The drawstring closure keeps toys secure and the compact design means it can be stored in a closet or under a bed when not in use. With its bright and playful design, this toy storage bag not only helps keep your home tidy but also adds a touch of fun to the room. Moving on to product number four are these electric heated eyelash curlers. These to my knowledge, I can't exactly say I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to this niche. However, I've not seen them around until recently the last few months. So at least to my mind, they're a relatively new product. And I've seen my wife try and put eyelashes on doing it the manual way. And it seems like such a faff and such like a mission that a product like this seems perfect almost for anybody who wears fake eyelashes to make the whole process simpler and a lot quicker as well. So in my mind, definitely gonna be one of those top products for 2023. As for the benefits of the product, it's obviously a huge niche that kind of beauty niche is absolutely massive, especially for TikTok. So that would be my go-to platform for products like this. You're gonna be targeting that younger audience, which if I had to guess is probably the, where the biggest demand for products like this is. It's a great price range. It's quite a cheap product, only four or five pounds. You could definitely sell it for, where we'll cover that in a second. So there's definitely some great profit margins. It's a proven concept as well. Products like this has been many products similar, similar that have been six figure, not seven, even some eight figure examples that I could think of. And number five is an untapped products. Like I said, to my knowledge, it's a product which is relatively new. Not many people have seen it before and therefore it's gonna get a lot of eyes and it's gonna get a lot of attention and attention equals sales. Is it trending then? It absolutely is. So this is search terms of eyelash curler worldwide past 12 months. As we can see, there's been a massive spike in interest in February 2023 with it hitting 99. So just under the most popular, it has ever been in the last 12 months, making this a super in-demand and trending product ideal to get started with today. To show you one of my favorite ad creatives then for this products, which I've seen, it does a really good job of kind of illustrating the pain points. I didn't know you actually had to do that. It seems like a really dangerous operation. So there's that added safety factor as well of not having to put something that hot near your eye, something like this, which will do it to a much safer temperature, making the whole process a lot quicker and a lot safer too. And a lot less kind of like fidgety, just a lot less faff involved with a products like this. As it says, they're super easy and effective to use as well. And it's safe for all types of lashes. So I'm assuming that's whether it's you're using your own lashes or fake ones as well. As for the product description then, you could write probably two or three pages just on this product. However, it's important to kind of keep it condensed and focused on the main kind of benefits of the product. As they say in sales, it's not the features that sell it or it's not the features you should speak about the actual benefits which helps sell the products. What it's gonna do for the person. So the heated eyelash curler is a revolutionary beauty tool designed to give you beautiful long lasting curls in seconds. This device uses gentle heat to softly lift and curl your lashes. Giving you an eye-opening gorgeous look is equipped with an adjustable heat setting to ensure that it suits your lash type and personal preference. So there's that safety aspect there to make sure it doesn't overheat. The curved ceramic brush is specially designed to evenly distribute heat and prevent damaging your delicate lashes. The benefits include the device is easy to use, cordless and battery operated for convenient usage on the go. Say goodbye to harsh manual eyelash curlers and hello to beautifully curled lashes every day with the heated eyelash curler. As for numbers then, we saw we could buy the product for four pounds. My recommended retail price would be 24.99 leaving a decent and ideal profit margin of at least 20 pounds on that front end. As for targeting, it's pretty endless to be honest. These are some of the top ones I've found that are kind of most relevant to the product. So cosmetics, skincare, beauty salons, facials, spas, beautiful skin. They all have that kind of connection to that person that takes pride in their appearance and wears these sorts of things. Moving on to product number four, we have one of my favorite products which is this ringtoss game. We're gonna speak about how to go about selling this because you do have to be careful about the way you word things to make sure that you're not coming across or encouraging people to drink. Otherwise it's gonna lead to trouble on Facebook. However, there are other people selling this that have had great success in the US. So there's definitely an opportunity to be had with the products like this in other countries like Australia, UK, so on. So the benefits of this product is it's trending at the moment. People are absolutely loving this product. Number two, it's a proven concept. There are some big sellers of this in the United States. However, to my knowledge, I haven't been able to find anybody that's had any success with it in the UK leaving a big hole or a big opportunity to be had. Number three, it's got that fun and engaging aspect which makes people want to watch your creative, makes people want to tag their friends and say, hey, we need to get this for our next party, whatever it may be. Number four, social products. So it's partially perfect for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, any social platform. Given how much fun and how much of a great product's like this, it's surprisingly cheap which we'll be going over in a second. And number six, like I've already briefly touched on, it's ideal for TikTok. Is it super trending right now? It's not super trending but we can see here that drinking games are like a consistent seller all year round with a massive spike in popularity for Christmas. It's gonna be the time which most people are playing drinking games. So again, if you wanted to build quote unquote a real brand and sell one type of product, then I definitely think like board games, there's loads of other different games that are similar to this that you can source from AliExpress or other similar suppliers and build a really nice brand around. To show you the ad creative I found then there's not a lot to it. It'd be super easy to get your hands on some similar content. You could even film yourself and a friend playing this in this exact same fashion if you were confident in doing so. It illustrates exactly what the premise of the game is, how you win and the key thing here being that that's not an alcoholic drink there. If you were to feature an alcoholic drink, Facebook would probably have something to say about it. So you could play it off as like a soft drink or a friendly drink that anybody could use but straight away, most people are probably gonna look at this and think are this brilliant to do with a shot or some sort of alcoholic beverage. So here's the product description. I came up for this product. So you could rewrite this to obviously put your own spin on it. However, I went with the ring toss drinking games the perfect addition to any party or gathering with friends. This exciting and fun game combines the classic ring toss with a drink in twist, making it the ideal activity for a night of laughs and entertainment. I then talk about the rules of the game. So this is where you could put your own spin on it. The game comes with two rings and a tall stable base. Take turns throwing the rings and trying to land them on the target. If you succeed, you move the drink once space forwards. The first player to land enough rings to move the drink off the board wins. With its easy to learn rules and fast paced gameplay, this ring toss drinking game is sure to provide hours of laughter and fun. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a fun activity to enjoy with friends, this ring toss drinking game is the perfect choice. As for profit margins then the supplier I showed you earlier is selling it for six pounds. A recommended retail price would be 30 pounds. Definitely think that's not too much to ask for, which leaves a very healthy profit margin on the front end of 23 pounds and 92 pence. As for targets and then you can get quite creative with this to say that Facebook aren't a big fan of people selling or advertising alcohol or drinking related products. They have very or they have a significant amount of drinking related interests that you can go after such as beer drinking, beer bars, parties, nightlife, tequila and vodka. All of these sorts of interests are probably gonna lead you towards those people which like playing drinking games. If I had to guess it's probably gonna be more of like a student type market and therefore you're gonna be targeting people of anywhere from sort of like 20 to 25, obviously depending on the country that you're going for. Moving on to the fifth and final product. We have this dog car seat protector. This is just a stock image taken from a supplier so you can see exactly what the product is. It's basically waterproof, scratch proof, dust proof, mud proof cover that you put on the back of your car so that when you take your dog for a walk, your car stays nice and clean. The benefits are number one, it's a proven concept. This product is a best seller year on year throughout the winter months and this winter is no different. Number two, it's super trending. Three, there's great profit margins. This is a premium product that people are willing to pay for. Number four, there is low competition. Most people that I've found selling this product are lazy. They just use a single static image ad so it's begging for somebody to come in with some original UGC content and do a really good job. And number five, easy tags. And there is a clear target market for products like this which we're going to be covering in a second and you can be really specific to make sure that you truly kind of home and narrow down on who you want to show this product to. So is it trending? It absolutely is. We can see that it is currently to gen 29 to Feb 4th. The most popular it has ever been in the past five years. Also to point out it's a fairly steady kind of increase or demand throughout those five years. So this isn't just a pump and dump product. This is definitely a product, especially in the UK because no matter what month it is, we can get wet weeks. There's gonna be a requirement for products like this. As for the supply line, I went with these guys because they have a premium looking product. Also comes with that guaranteed 15 day delivery free shipping. So you're looking all in for about 21 and 21 pounds and 11 pence. If we have a look at profit margins, this translates into a recommended retail price I would say of in around 50 pounds. That's quite reasonable within the pet niche. Take it from somebody with experience when you're going to pets at home for anything of decent quality, you're definitely looking upwards of sort of 30, 40, 50 pounds. When you get towards kind of dog bed territory, they start at about 60 or 70 quid. It's not cheap stuff. The ad creative I wanna show you then is this one here. I'm just gonna mute it down. The reason being is because it does a brilliant job of somebody really talking about the products which gives that kind of level of authenticity. So the first, I wouldn't structure it this way. I would just say the content itself is pretty good. So somebody on camera talking about the product, however she talks about it for way too long for it to be considered an ad. You want maybe max five or 10 seconds or even better, you want kind of like a voice overlay when it goes straight into this bit. So this is her showing how the product is set up and just how good the quality is, what it does and essentially how it works, how a dog would use it so on and so forth. So there's some really good content in that ad there. However, I'll just chop it up and structure it in a slightly different way if it was me. As for the product description then, one of the easy ones to write because it's obvious what the benefit of this product is. So start off with keep your car clean and you're very friend comfortable with our dog car seat cover. Made of waterproof and scratch resistant material. This cover protects your back seat from spills, dirt and scratches. The nozzle it back and ensures your cover stays in place while the adjustable straps allow for a secure fit in any type of car. The cover features side flaps for extra protection and easy access and the built in pockets provide convenient storage for treats, toys and other essentials. What are you going on a road trip or just a quick air into this dog car seat cover will keep your car looking and feeling like new. As for targeting then, I haven't put too much here. As you can see, I'd go for long haired breeds of dogs to go for Labradors, German Shepherds, those sorts of things. The wetter and messier and bigger the dog and the bigger the mess that comes with the dog the more of a requirement there's going to be for a product like this. So that definitely be my go to. And you can of course couple this with dog walking. People who love to go out on dog walks and take their dog in the car, they're obviously going to need and have a requirement for this product. And so with that being said guys, that is all five products. I hope you've enjoyed the video. If you have, make sure you subscribe to the channel. Drop it a like as well.

A regular expression, abbreviated to RE, REGX, REGX and more, is commonly used in software development and searching algorithms for matching patterns and text. They are particularly important for implementing programming languages. Regular expressions are powerful formula for defining patterns to search for, yet they are also very simple. They can be defined with combinations of just four symbols, the clean star, shown as an asterisk, alternation, a vertical bar, and the open and closed parentheses. Say we want to search these terms and conditions for important dates. For simplicity, we'll only worry about numerical dates. There are only a few different formats we can expect dates to be in, right? We just search for day, day, month, month, year, year. However, it could be day, day, month, month, year, year, year, year, if you're being formal, or maybe just day, day, month, month, if you don't need the year. But the first month digit can only be zero or one, and the first day digit can only be zero to three. Sometimes people ignore the zero if the date is only one digit, so it could just be day, month. But for other people the month comes before the day, so we have to account for that too. My word, it's all so complicated, isn't it? Thankfully, we can use regular expressions to simplify writing rules for the patterns we want to match. This series of videos explores the idea more closely, looking at the meaning of these basic symbols, some common extended syntax, and the close connection between regular expressions and finite state automata.

Global Supply Chains: How Did All This Stuff Get Here?
Global Supply Chains have never been more popular – from public awareness to the attention gained from businesses trying to navigate the storms of the last few years. In this period of extreme revenues, risks, and disruptive events, many companies shifted focus to explore what decisions could improve not only their performance, but also their resiliency in face of the unknown. If this sounds like a challenging moment for supply chain leaders, that's because it is. In this webinar, we are going to go embark on a journey to understand how different products are shipped around the World and what are the key business decisions that drive effectiveness and resiliency in a supply chain.

Hi everyone! Welcome to our first Spring Live series. Thank you for joining us today. I am Paulo Souza Jr., course lead for SC3x Supply Chain Dynamics, which is part of the MITx MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management program from MIT. I am happy to be co-hosting this live event today with my colleague Miguel Rodriguez Garcia, course lead for SC1x Supply Chain Fundamentals. Hi Miguel! Hi Paulo and thank you so much for the introduction. So I'm really happy to be here with you guys and excited to share some great insights about supply chain with all our learners and today we're going to follow this agenda. So first our speaker will give us a presentation that will last around 25 minutes and after that we'll have some time at the end, around 15 minutes for you guys, for the audience to actually ask some questions to him and Paulo and I will be channeling those questions throughout the presentation. So please use the Q&A feature in Zoom to ask the questions and we'll be working on that throughout the presentation. So before I'll introduce our guest speaker I just wanted to remind you guys that this is a cross-course live event from SC1x to SC3x and verification is still open for both courses so remember that verification is the only way that you can actually have a certificate from us from MIT and it's also the best way to support the program and allow us to keep doing this and giving this content for free to many learners around the world. So if you like the content as I said we'll be posting the verification links in the chat so please if you like it keep supporting us and now back to you Paulo so you can introduce Luis. Thank you so much Miguel. So today we are honored to have Luis Gosling joining us. Luis is currently a senior vice president at LX Partners, a global management consulting firm. He has over 10 years of experience driving projects and diligence for clients in capital intensive industries such as transportation, logistics, infrastructure, manufacturing and warehousing. Prior to LX Partners, Luis covered the logistics, shipping and infrastructure sectors at a logistics M&A advisory firm for clients from Asia, Europe, Latin America and also led diligence for over six billion dollars in transactive assets. He holds a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering and a master of science in logistics from PUC, he also holds a master's degree in supply chain management from MIT. By the way, he also took our micro masters courses just like many of you are doing right now. So welcome Luis, the floor is yours. Thank you Paulo, thank you Miguel, thanks everyone and thanks for being here and having me today. What I want to talk about today is global supply chains. We titled this presentation how did all this stuff get here and really what we want to talk about is we're going to pick one product and we're going to follow that product throughout the world. We're going to go from Shenzhen, China from the port of Yantian all the way to its final destination somewhere in the United States and you're going to see more about that in a minute. To begin with, Paulo gave a brief overview of my background so I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about myself. I've been doing logistics and supply chain touching a little bit of everything under the sun for the last 12 years or so. Focused on finance a lot in the early years of my career, have done a lot of M&A and now I've been focusing on operations and helping our clients better manage those assets, better manage those operations. So anything related to rope freight or ocean freight or air freight, that kind of asset, port terminal operations, that's kind of in my wheelhouse. So we're going to dive right in. The first thing I'm going to do is give you a quick overview of this industry and we selected, we decided to have some fun with this. So we selected the toys industry as our example for today. This is the panoramic 10,000 foot view of what the toy industries look like. I'm not going to read this entire page to the audience but I'll leave it up on the screen so you can read it on your own time. Basically, toys are a sub-segment of consumer products and like a lot of different segments in consumer products, it's very fragmented. There's not one single company that holds 50% of the market, for example. There's a lot of big conglomerates. They're very global and it's a very emotional industry and I like talking about this. It doesn't affect just toys but when you think about toys, you're thinking about kids toys, adult toys and pat toys. Those are the three big kind of verticals of this space and no one buys toys trying to save money. You buy toys with some sort of emotional driver to that consumption decision so it's an industry that benefits from that in a number of ways. At the same time, if you look at number two in three columns on the page in front of you, this industry has very strong fundamentals. It's been growing for the last 10 years non-stop. COVID actually helped the toys industry even though retailers were pretty disrupted between 2020 and 2022. You have an industry that's been booming, if I may say so, with even further growth in recent years because playtime and physical toys and physical goods have seen a boost in the man. At the same time, you have costs, pressure coming very hard, very strongly for these companies, not only supply chain costs like ocean freight, which skyrocketed, the cost of ocean freight skyrocketed between 2021 and 2022 and now it has recently seen a certain depression in rates but also raw materials. You have toys or really products, if we want to call that, that are getting increasingly complex and the existing materials are getting more expensive. You have wage inflation and raw materials scarcity in some cases. Lastly, you don't buy toys directly from the toy manufacturers, you need to go through a retail channel and retail channels as you all know from other modules in this program have been undergoing some disruptions. Omni-channel is a big one. It basically changes everything we've been doing in retail for a number of years and also consumers have been gaining a lot of power recently, which kind of undermines what used to be called the retail art in the late 90s, early 2000s and so a lot to come there. Toys are obviously subject to all that and this is just a very high-level overview of what we're talking about when you think about the industry. I don't want to dive into the operations without letting you, giving you this lead on, hey, this is the space we're looking at. Moving on. So this is a toy. I'm sorry for the spoiler on the next page. This is a toy and I want to give you a couple of examples of what a toy is. This is a very simple toy. It's a single-body plastic figurine. You probably seen it in a couple of board games. This is a very simple product. Easy to make, cheap to make, cheap to handle and ship around the world and you can make it in bulk and it's cheap to purchase. This is also a toy. This is a sexier toy. It's more complex. It's way more expensive to make, way more expensive and complex to manage. There's so many components and they're so different when you think about an Xbox gaming machine and it's way more expensive to purchase. This goes for at least $500 in retail and it has a few different options when you're thinking about buying one but there's really limited customization. This is also a toy and this falls somewhere in between. This is a collector's figure and it's very complex. It's somewhat cheap to make because most of the parts are plastic or simple metals but it's very complex to assemble. It's very manual and pretty hard to manage. It's hard to forecast the demand for something like this. It's very expensive to purchase which means it caters to a certain niche of the toy industry. It's people that are willing to spend $300 to $500 for a min condition figurine just to put it on the shelf. We didn't pick this one example by chance. This is Megatron, a Transformers character. He's the villain of the Transformers franchise and we're going to follow him throughout the world so he's going to accompany us on our journey. Before we jump into that journey, I just wanted to highlight that these toys from a simple plastic figurine to a video game that's super complex, they're managed by mega conglomerates around the world. They all have different strategies from forecasting to how they execute their operations and how they design the supply chain and they all work. There's no single right answer when it comes to supply chain and I'm sure you've heard this over and over again and these companies are good examples of that. They have very distinct approaches to how they manage the supply chains and they're all successful in doing so. This is a quick overview of what the Megatron supply chain looks like. It's very complex because you have so many different parts going into this product and then finally you have a single point of assembly that takes us all the way to the customers and this is our international logistics piece. That's what we're going to focus on today. We're going to look at how do we go from finished product all the way to product received in the hands of our happy customer. Let's jump right in. This is a quick roadmap of our journey before we jump into the specifics and I'm going to take you in a quick deep dive on each one of those seven echelons. We're going to talk about packaging and load building. We're going to talk about ocean shipping. We're going to talk about port terminal operations. Once you get inland we're going to talk about rail and road freight. Finally we're going to talk about warehousing and obviously DC operations and inventory management which is extremely important what to buy, when to buy it, how to replenish and then lastly the last mile delivery pun intended which is how we get our products from that last point of consolidation all the way to the end customer and of course Megatron is going to follow us through all the pages. He's keeping an eye out for him. The first piece of our supply chain is load building and I cannot stress enough how important this is. Load building is basically how do you put your products in a box. It can be a box, a corrugated box, a different type of packaging. Sometimes there's a plastic cover with some branding. Packaging is really important because packaging some of it will be customer facing. Not all packaging is a boring brown corrugated cardboard box. Some of your packaging will have the company logo and some art in it. That's also part of the customer experience. So packaging is important. Stacking is also important. It can maximize or not or impact the way you ship your goods and how much you can chip and how efficient your supply chain can be. Third, you have load building. This is usually software-assisted these days unless you're talking about a very local, very manual operation. This will be more mathematical and quote-unquote scientific really but oftentimes reality doesn't follow math. As supply chain practitioners, I'm sure you all know this. Lastly, our pallet carrying a bunch of boxes including Megatron is going to be put in a container and that container is going to travel around the world. One thing I wanted to highlight and I'm going to try to bring some real-life examples in a couple of these pages. I think that illustrates well the concept we're discussing here. If you're not familiar with this diagram, this is a utilization scatter plot. Every container has space and it also has a certain amount of weight it can carry. When you put boxes or pallets, when you load a container with products, you need to think about maximizing the usage of that space but also maximizing the usage of the weight capacity. Some products will cube out before they weigh out and some products will weigh out before they cube out because they're very dense. That's what this chart is representing. This is an example of 10,000 containers plotted on one chart. As you can see, the top right corner of your screen is really, really good. This means these points, these containers had a lot of weight and the volume of the box was really well utilized. You really filled that container. This is a supply chain dream. As you move to the bottom left of the chart, you start having containers that are empty or very light. There's a number of reasons why that can happen. Maybe you had an urgent shipment and you didn't have time to wait for consolidation. You just had to leave with the container half empty. Maybe you have just not that much volume this week and the container had to set sail and not wait for more shipment. When you think about ocean shipping, for example, if we're talking about global logistics here, ocean shipping works in weekly cadences, weekly schedules. If you have something that's arriving on Thursday, you can't wait one day, it's going to be put in a box next week. That's just how it works. If you look at, I brought two examples here on the next page. Points A and B are so dramatically different when you look at what they really mean. Picture A shows us a container that has 50% of the volume occupied, which means it's half empty set another way, and only 8% of the weight utilized, which means it's very light. They're carrying very low density products. While point B, it's not perfect, obviously by all means, but it's way better. We're looking at a container that has 55% of the weight capacity utilized and 60% of the volume. This is by no means a perfect load utilization, but it's much better than the left picture. The last thing I want to talk about when it comes to load is the stacking. Stacking is important because of reasons that defy math. People can do all kinds of things. If you've been in the industry for long enough, I'm sure you have pictures like this. This is absolutely what you don't want to happen with your pallets. If you look at the left side of the screen, you have loads that are almost falling from the pallet because this pallet was broken from the bottom, which is an absolutely no-no. When you're building your loads, you need to think about how am I going to use those loads in the future. If you have a box that you need first, that box should be on top. This is just common sense, but also you have physical constraints to your pallets. For example, if you look at the top right, this pallet is very high. This is very tall, which means it's hard to handle, and you risk tilting your loads and letting some box fall during your supply chain execution. Inside the warehouse during transportation, you name it. Finally, at the bottom, you see there's a box here that got crushed by the weight. This is not good because you risk damaging your product inside that box. This is what causes claims, returns, and so on. This is a good example of what not to do. Let's move on to ocean shipping. We put all those boxes and pallets inside a container, and we set it up out to the ocean. First thing first, there's something called Drage, which is the act of taking a container, putting it on a truck, and taking it to the port. Throughout that entire piece of our supply chain, and really from here all the way to the United States on the water, we want visibility of what that load is. We want to know who's holding it, where it is physically on the map, if possible, and what's our ETA or the expected time of arrival at the next piece or the next part of our supply chain. Finally, the third column here, the third element of ocean shipping is the shipping itself. This works very similarly to road freight. You have carriers that handle your loads, and this is a commoditized service. A commodity service basically works in cycles of supply and demand. Right now, in the barometer or the escape valve of that relationship between supply and demand, is rates. When you look at ocean shipping rates, they have gone up dramatically during COVID because demand was just so high and supply was constrained around the world. Recently, for the past maybe seven months, starting in the second half of 2022, we saw rates declining very dramatically on some lanes, even going to pre-COVID levels. There's a number of nuances around that, and we can spend hours talking about it in the Q&A, but reality is this is a commodity service. It has cycles, and that's it at this level. Finally, port selection is important because you want to go to a port that is as close as you can to your final destination. You don't want to go to a different country and then get on a rail if you don't have to. You also want to go to a port that gives you access to the logistic infrastructure that you need. If you want to put your container on the rail track on a train and take that to the next point of your supply chain, then you want to go to a terminal that has that capability. If you go to a terminal that doesn't offer rail access, that means you're going to have to put that box on a truck, take the truck to another terminal to do transshipment, then put it on the rail and then move on. This can get really expensive, and it's another touch on that box, which means it's harder and more complex to manage at scale. Finally, once we get to the United States, and this took us maybe two to three weeks on the water, we land at a port, and I want to quickly call out that a port and a terminal are different things. A port is a region on the map to put it very simply. It's a region on the map, usually owned by the municipality, and they can subdivide that area into different mandates, some of which are terminals, which are the rectangular spaces, sometimes not rectangular, that actually handle the loads. A terminal is usually divided into four parts. You have the marine, which is what touches the water, touches the vessels. You have the yard, which is where you store containers or handle containers or inward or outward handling. Finally, you have your gateways, which is essentially the paths that a container will take to leave or enter the terminal, which is rail or trucks, which set another way, rail yard or gates. I have a few examples here. That's why I didn't want to talk too much about that on the previous page. This is what a terminal looks like. This is a picture of the Long Beach Container Terminal in Long Beach, California. You can see here the marine area with all the SCS cranes. They're touching the water, which means that's where the vessels will stop in birth for the containers to be loaded or unloaded by these cranes. Finally, you have a pretty automated RNG yard here on the bottom of your screen, covering the entire bottom section of the picture, and then gates in the rail yard or not on this frame. Louis started to interrupt Megatron's journey. I just want to remind some learners that they can use the Q&A feature from Zoom because some learners join us later. If you have questions, we'll be addressing them at the end of the session. Please use the Q&A feature in the chat box. Let's continue now. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Good call out. So a couple of more shots and information about how a container terminal operates. This is what the marine operation looks like. You have the gantry cranes loading and unloading containers from the vessel. Sometimes the vessel will require one, two, three cranes, sometimes more. It depends on the size and depends on the schedule for the, you know, how you're manning that shift that day or that morning. Finally, the cranes take the container from the vessel and they put it on the ground, which is essentially putting it on a truck. And in this case, I have a picture here also from LA with a pretty automated part of that terminal. That container is being put on an automated platform or flatbed, and that flatbed knows exactly where it's taking the container. It's either fully automatic or moved by joysticks with an operator in the room somewhere close by. So this is a really good example of where automation can really drive efficiency and reduce the risk of accidents, for example. Finally, this is the rail yard. Those boxes are going to sit on a yard, either the main yard or the rail yard for outgoing track, outgoing train, sorry. And they might be stored there for a couple of days, maybe a few days. You don't want to store your boxes, your containers at the terminal for too long because you have to pay for it if that happens. You usually have a window of free days. And after that you have to pay the merge and you don't want to do that because it can really stack up and it gets increasingly expensive. Then that box is going to be put on a track, on a car, sorry, a train car, which is going to flow anywhere in the country. And rail is probably the most efficient way to handle container loads, to handle intermodal loads. It's not perfect. You're still limited to the train schedules. You're still limited to the rail capacity and capability. If you have loads that are not perfectly fit for a container box, that can be a little tough to handle or you have to pay a lot more money. Also, you don't have the flexibility that you have on a truck of just picking it up whenever you want and going anywhere you want, right? On the rail, you're subject to the network of terminals, which is pretty abundant. It's pretty rich, but it doesn't go anywhere and everywhere throughout the country. So moving on, let's talk about rail. Rail works a little bit like Ocean Freight. You have major operators, not a lot of them. In the U.S., we have seven class one rail operators and they are operating all the way from Canada all the way to Mexico. So you really look at North America when you talk about rail and schedule, visibility, lead times, all the things that we touch on for ocean carriers is also very important for rail. Rail sourcing is a complex activity and there's a number of things involved in that. We're not going to dive into that right now, but it's complex and it's as complex as any other type of freight sourcing. To give you a picture of where our journey is going, I wanted to show you this map. If we're going from LA to Chicago, which is the journey we drew for this example, we're going to take a path that's pretty long and it crosses pretty much half of the United States or even a little bit more than that. Chicago is a great hub for rail. It handles over half of the entire intermodal freight in the U.S. and it's serviced by six out of the seven major rail operators in North America, which is great. No other city in the U.S. can do that, can say they do that, which is really good. If you look at the right side of the page, these are the seven major operators in North America. Two of them are merging. KCS and CP might become a single company in the future, so we'll see what happens there. I think the commentary here is that it seems like an old school industry because it's rail and it's old infrastructure and it's pretty brownfield, but when you think about it, this is also very fast-moving and it changes and it's a commodity service, so you can't just not pay attention to it. Finally, after you land in Chicago in the rail, that container is going to be picked up by a truck who's going to take it all the way to a storage facility or a distribution center, a warehouse, you name it, in Everett, Massachusetts. We're going to Massachusetts because we're taking Megatron all the way to MIT in Cambridge, and so we're going to go to the closest possible Amazon DC to E40 in Cambridge. That's in Everett. Freight sourcing is a science and an art at the same time. You have one big decision when it comes to road freight, which is do you do it yourself or do you hire someone to do it for you? You make or you buy. Purchasing freight can be complex. It can be as simple as you want. Routing is very important, especially if you're the one managing that operation and executing that freight, because you can make multiple stops. You have multiple schedules. You need to better utilize your assets to the best of your abilities. Lead times and SLAs are super important. If you have an outsourced freight carrier, that's how you make sure that you're getting what you're paying for. I cannot stress that enough. And then finally, the last piece that I think is really important here when it comes to road freight is load consolidation or deconsolidation. To better utilize your assets, you got to go back to what I mentioned earlier. You got to increase and drive utilization. As a transportation professional, we often joke that you want to do less transportation. And that's absolutely true when it comes to road freight. Moving on. After our truck takes her loads to our storage facility, now it's time to sit in a warehouse for a few days, maybe a few weeks, until it's time to go to the final customer, get on a little Sprinter van and go to the final customer. When you think about a warehouse or a distribution center, really, at the scale we're talking about here, an Amazon DC, it services an entire region. Inbound and outbound logistics is extremely important for these guys. So doctors managing how fast or how well you can manage your shifts and load and unload loads so you don't have that bottleneck in your facility. Same thing for the yard outside the warehouse. That's extremely important. Also, how you manage your storage and your DC operations, that's very important. You can automate it. You can put a number of automation solutions inside the four walls. And that changes how efficient you're going to be, how many people you're going to need. And that goes hand-in-hand with technology, which is a third element I put here on the page. Technology is really good and it's really sexy when we say it like this. But it can also be very challenging because it's expensive. And because the more you deploy technology within the four walls, the more you have to train your workforce and make sure that you're executing it perfectly and that you're troubleshooting. And then you're prepared to deal with technology when it doesn't work, right? And that's not easy. It's just more complexity to your supply chain and you have to pay attention to that as well. Then finally, another extremely important part of any storage operation is inventory management. You want to make sure and I'm sure you guys are going to learn all about inventory management during the MicroMasters. But to put it very simply, you've got to know what to buy, when to buy, and how much to hold and for how long. Some products deserve to sit on a shelf for a week. Some products don't deserve to sit on a shelf for even a day. You want to move it very, very fast. That's it for storage. We're going to tick Megatron out and we're going to put it in the box and take it to the end customer. That's called parcel freight and you can do it yourself if you're managing your own, I guess, limited scale operation. But usually companies at this level, these conglomerates, they're using third party freight providers. In the United States, we have three major carriers or should I say four, if you count the USPS mail, but it's basically FedEx, UPS and DHL. They're really good at different things. There's no single solution for the practitioners in the room. You know that you're going to end up using all of them for different aspects of your operation. But parcel sourcing, parcel freight really works similar to road freight. You need to worry about utilization. One of these vans can make roughly 30 stops. That's not a lot. If you think about a container, an entire container has hundreds and hundreds of boxes. And so this is very quote unquote expensive. And if you're looking at an urban environment, routing through the streets is very challenging because you have a lot of restrictions. You cannot enter every street and alley. You have hours of the day that you just cannot operate. So there's all these challenges. Then finally, tracking in systems. These are things that have been evolving a lot in the supply chain space. We call it log tech, logistics, technology, solutions have been really out there for the last 10 years or so, really evolving and growing with the space. So we wanted to highlight this. At the same time, you have facilities up to this date in the United States that are extremely manual. And you will see people manually typing or scanning barcodes, which is obviously opportunity for improvement. The last thing I wanted to highlight on this page is that the trucks, the little van on the left that looks very futuristic. That's actually one of the newest FedEx electric vans they're deploying throughout the United States. So we expect to see a lot more of those cool looking cars in the next months or years versus the traditional Sprinter vans. And then a quick shout out to the rest of the world. We don't only have the United States. When you talk about parcel, you also have a lot of other very large players. They're very, very good at what they do across Europe and Asia, South America. But really in this example from Megatron, we're really talking about FedEx, UPS and DHL, which hold combined around 80% of the entire market share of the United States. They're really good at different things. You wouldn't use one provider for all your needs, but have your relationship with all of them can be challenging because it's more things to touch and more players to manage. Then this is the end of our journey. The parcel was delivered to MIT at E40 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And this is a quick highlight of where we went across the world. We went all the way from the port of Yantian, China, all the way to the east coast of the United States. This would take you roughly a month or maybe three weeks if you're being really fast. And the one thing I wanted to highlight before jumping to questions in Q&A is that this is an ever-changing space. This is a very dynamic industry and not only new technologies are coming online, but also macroeconomic factors are always affecting the way we operate and what a good solution looks like. And also new players, newcomers are always trying to disrupt things on every point of the supply chain. And if this complexity feels overwhelming, it's because it really can be. And I think we don't know what the future holds, but what we do know is that the big winners of all this are us, the customers and companies that use all of these services. And that's it for the Megatron journey. Megatron is probably happy now sitting on someone's shelf in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And I am going to close here. And before we jump into the Q&A, I want to leave you with three questions. We talked about the whole supply chain as a very descriptive story, but if you had to really manage this, you would have to make decisions that we didn't really dive into because it was not our focus here. But basically, supply chains often come down to do you want to drive cost efficiency or do you want to drive speed and agility? And so I'm not going to answer this right now because this will take more than a minute. But as you think about it on your own time, I want you to reflect on for this figurine or for any other toys that you can think of, should you be driving cost efficiency and trying to be as cheap as you can on the supply chain and gain scale? Or should you try to be fast and agile and drive speed? Then the last question on the page is really about alternatives. It's really important to have plan Bs. And so I propose here, it's a little tease, to think about what could a plan B be, pun intended, when it comes to ocean shipping. Rates went down recently, but what if they kept going up? It would be increasingly expensive to ship things from China to the US. What could you do about it? There's a number of solutions out there. A number of approaches are not only possible, but very realistic. And we see them every day with different companies. And I would love for you to think about it on your own time and see where you can find examples of these things. Thank you very much. Thank you, Luis. I mean, this has been pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure that Paolo shares my feeling and also our learners. From my perspective as the SE1X course, I think this has been an amazing overview and introduction for the learners to mainly transportation, because they are going to see a lot of that at the end of the course. So this has been just brilliant. Thank you so much for everything. And now, yeah, I think we can jump right into the Q&A. I have selected here a couple of questions to start with. So the first one is related to what we saw, mainly right after COVID in many ports around the world in terms of congestion. We saw the Port of LA with more than 150, I think it was over 100 boats just standing still, basically, for a long time. So Anis Otsoi, sorry if I pronounced it wrong, was actually asking us what would be the best way to manage this kind of operation. So in order for this not to happen again, like looking forward. I'm pretty sure that also this is relevant not only for us, but for many carriers out there, because at the end of the day, it was a lot of money lost for all that congestion. So I don't know, Luis, what are your thoughts on that? Absolutely. And that's a great topic. And it feels like we planted that question, but we did not, I promise. But I do have a backup page that I'm going to use in a second to illustrate a little bit of what that congestion looked like. They did have hundreds of vessels waiting to birth. And some of them were not even accounted for because they started waiting outside of the port waters. They went to open waters to wait in the ocean. And that doesn't even get into the count. So it was really disruptive for the Port of LA and also for different parts of the supply chain in land, because you're basically waiting for all of that to become a big bottleneck. So there's a little, a couple of things that I heard in the question. One of them was how do you manage that? And I'm hearing this from the perspective of a practitioner. So you are the shipper or the BCO. You have your loads waiting on a vessel. And then there's another nuance there, which is how do you prevent that from happening in the future if you are effectively managing the terminal? You're the port of LA, right? The simple answer. And there's a few different things you can do or that we've seen companies do very successfully in the last few years. When that happens, what you can do is immediately diversify. If you're exposing your entire supply chain to one gateway, maybe that's a risk that you're holding. Trying to enter the United States. And that's what we saw. Immediately companies shifted their volumes to the East Coast. That was a little easier. It takes a little bit longer to go through the Panama Canal and then navigate all the way to the East Coast. But using the ports of Miami, Savannah, Norfolk, New York, New Jersey, those were good solutions at the time. Doesn't mean they're better than LA, but they were not as affected by that congestion, specifically on the trans-specific routes. Secondly, you can go to Mexico. You can go to Seattle. You can go to other terminals on the West Coast and then put your box on the rail and then ship it to the United States. That's a very mature solution. It's not like you're going to be trying something new that I don't know has ever done before. So we've seen companies do that as well. Short answer is, if you're exposed to LA, you've got to wait in line. If you have alternatives, then you can explore it. And what I just wanted to show you real quick, I have my cheat sheet pages here to help me answer the question. But this is the Global Schedule Reliability Index. And what this means is you have two charts on the page, and this is tracked every month by Sea Intelligence. What you're seeing here on the left is how often are sales on time. And being very high is really good. Traditionally, historically, we've seen vessels being on time 70, 80% of the time, sometimes almost teasing a 90% result. In 2020, if you look at the green line on the page on the left side, it really went down. It took a dive. Vessels were always late. Not only they were always late, but if you look at the right side of the page, they were getting late increasingly more. They were late by more days. In recent years, and the pink line you see on both charts is 2022, in recent years, they have been steadily improving that schedule reliability, which means they're more often on time. And when they are delayed, they're delayed by less days. So instead of eight days delayed, they're now delayed by five days or so. And so we track this very closely, and this is really important. Awesome. Awesome. This brings a lot of clarity, I think. And thank you so much for the detailed answer to our learners' question. Paulo, did you want to go with another question? Yeah, sure. Thank you so much, Luis. You addressed some key points from F3x, supply chain dynamics. You mentioned about complexity, the drivers of complexity, global supply chains. And we have a couple of questions here. So I want to combine two questions. One is from Aloma and the other one is from Muhammad. So the question is, Luis, we see a lot of companies trying to have a more local supply chain after the COVID challenges and impacts. How do you see this changing the way supply chains work? And the other question combined with this is, in the era of increasing nationalism and protectionism, what are the implications for global supply chains, and how can companies navigate these challenges? Yeah, that's a great question. So we had a different lecture, I think, on fall that touched a little bit on X-shoring and near-shoring. What we're seeing is a little bit of a mixed basket of solutions when it comes to that. There has been, for the last 10 years, I would say, this movement of near-shoring supply chains for all kinds of reasons, some of which are technically very savvy when you think about supply chain risk mitigation or diversifying your supplier base and not being exposed to one manufacturer in Thailand or Singapore or China and rather having plan Bs or alternatives that can supply your goods or raw materials or make the assembly perhaps in Mexico or Eastern Europe or Northern Africa. We're seeing Tunisia growing in that space as well in recent years. More recently, there's been a couple of very tough macroeconomic sanctions and conflicts, and I'm going to say for the last maybe four years. Near-shoring is a reality. It's here to stay. I don't think this is going to basically, look, for the Asian countries in the Southeast Asia to become what they are today, that took decades. That's not going to be undone in a couple of years. That's not a big risk. I'm not concerned about that. What we see happening, and that's the trend I was trying to illustrate, is some of that volume shifting to neighboring countries or plan B solutions. Even more than that, companies and supply chain leaders really starting to think about what the plan B should look like so that when the problem happens, when any disruption happens, be it political, be it macroeconomic, be it COVID or any sort of supply chain decision, they're not caught off guard. That's kind of what the feeling is in the industry right now. Thank you so much, Stuart. Go ahead, Miguel. Yeah, no. I was about to say before going into the next question, because we have a lot of questions. We are not going to be able to answer them all. I can tell you that, guys, but thank you so much for posting them. But what you just mentioned, Luis, is super interesting because we have a researcher here at MIT, one of our colleagues, working exactly on that and looking at some companies actually overreacting because of reshoring. And sometimes it's also a matter of economies of scale. And as you mentioned, Southeast Asia and also China, of course, they have been doing an amazing job for many years in terms of manufacturing many of the electronics products and other things. So changing all that and moving all that knowledge all the way here is not an easy task. And we're seeing companies sometimes overreacting and losing a lot of money sometimes because of those decisions. So it's a trade-off and really interesting topic for sure. So now I'm going to jump to another question from Mohamed. And I'm going to combine it with a question from Norman too, because learners are also interested in learning about technology and how technology affects supply chain. And you mentioned a lot of the automation that is coming. Things that are already there, as you said, in the Port of LA with the automated platforms or straddle carriers, that's how they call them, I think, in the Port of LA. And that's amazing. So I don't know, we want to hear your thoughts maybe on what you think is more promising also from the perspective of maybe artificial intelligence, blockchain or automation. And the other thing is that one of our learners is asking us where the program addresses this automation and technology advancements. And I would say that SC4x, the last course of the of the MicroMasters, is the one that focuses more on this kind of state-of-the-art topics, while other courses are more the basics of supply chain. Even if we, of course, renew the content every year, but still SC4x is the one that focuses more on technology. So, but Luis, what are your thoughts on this emerging technologies and things happening in the supply chain? Well, there's a lot of stuff to unpack there. Technology is always interesting. And I usually look at technology when it comes to logistics, operations and supply chain decisions in three buckets. The first one is, you know, big capex, automation, that kind of stuff. And then the second one is more software oriented. It's more logical. It's an SAP module or a particular, you know, solution that was designed for routing or for, you know, pick by light, that kind of, you know, pick by route. These very targeted niche solutions, they're really, really good, but it's not like your automated and entire SDS crank. And then third, you have, you know, the other stuff. For example, I've seen sensors and telematics. We're seeing that taking a bit of a bump in recent years, which is really good. I saw the other day, this presentation from, from, it was a startup. I don't know if I can call them a startup at this point, but it's a company that they put sensors on the whole of a vessel, which can track how dirty the hole is. And when it's too dirty, it creates a lot of drag under the water, so the ship gets less efficient from a fuel consumption standpoint. And then they can like track that and do whatever they have to do to, you know, clean it or scrap or sand it and make sure the fuel efficiency is there. So like, these solutions are so niche and so interesting. They're like, it's hard to predict what's going to come next. How I see these things, I think it's great. And automation is probably the hot topic when it comes to container terminals right now. It's a big part of my work. Container terminals, not automation per se. But one thing that will always important to remember is that you have unions in the United States and Canada that pretty much govern the labor relations on both coasts east and west. It's very different. The relationship in the west coast and east coast are very different. But I think it's unrealistic to expect that a terminal in the United States can get 100% automated like we see in a few terminals in Europe and Asia. In the next, I don't know, five years or six. It's just complex. There's a lot of discussions to go on. It's not just let's spend the money. We're sitting on a cash, on a war chest of capital right now, and we can invest this in automation. That's a simplistic view. Yeah, totally. Thank you. Thank you so much for the answer. Paulo, do you want to go ahead? Yeah, we still have many questions here. Many learners are thanking you, congratulating you for your great presentation. I chose another one here. So Kevin is asking, which of the lags that you talked about are the biggest cost drivers? For instance, ocean, railroad, warehousing, storage, etc. And how much does that vary based on the product being managed? For instance, Megatron versus Xbox versus game pieces, etc. Well, that's an entire presentation on itself. So to ship Megatron from China to Cambridge cannot cost more than Megatron, right? Someone's paying for that shipping. It's not free, but it's done at scale, which means a container that will cost you, I don't know, $10,000, $12,000 to ship overseas for that one box will only really, if you want to allocate costs, will really only cost you maybe 10 bucks, a few bucks perhaps, because you have hundreds of those boxes inside that container, right? If I had to guess, I think the most expensive part is the part, well, apart from all the pieces and raw materials that go into the product, which means everything upstream of your supply chain, it will be the part, it will be the echelon with the most labor, the most labor intensive echelon, or set another way, the least scalable part of your supply chain, which is obviously downstream. There's no question about this. It's not ocean shipping. It's not the container terminal. It's definitely not the rail transport. It's probably not the road freight. It's probably storing and parcel delivery. These things are expensive when you think about a little box. Again, a van, a sprinter van, a FedEx van can make 30 stops in a day. Keep in mind, you cannot drive a van 24 hours a day. You have regulations and labor guidance and a lot of very hard restrictions. You can only drive for eight, 10 hours a day, depending on the state, depending on whatever, which means you're going to make 30 deliveries that day. That's it. A container can carry hundreds, if not thousands of boxes. So it's just a different scale entirely, right? Someone mentioned drones here in the chat. Drones are not a solution today. They might be a solution tomorrow, but for consumer goods like Megatron or Plastic Toys, even Xboxes or more expensive things, they're not a solution. One drone cannot make 30 deliveries a day in eight hours. It's just, yeah, they don't rest. You can use them 24-7, but the battery technology is just not there. There's a number of things that were kind of moving in the right direction, but it's just not there. It's a great technology, and we should absolutely be investing in it. It's not the disruption we expect in 2023. It's just not there yet. Yeah. Actually, you just answered one of the questions from another learner in terms of drones being used for last-mile delivery. We actually have some research here going in MIT in this area, and it's still, I mean, it's not mature at all, but it's promising, I would say. Maybe not 2023, but maybe at some point. Yeah, we'll see. No, it's definitely moving in the right direction. I'm not discounting the drone space. It's great. It's just not something, it's just not the solution for every type of product out there. Totally. Yeah. And not only that, I mean, it comes with a lot of regulations from aerospace, like many other things, so for sure. Yeah. So I think we only have time for one more question, maybe. So I'm going to steal one of yours, Paolo, if you don't mind, because I think this one is really good to close the life event, because one of our learners, the VIG, sorry if I pronounced it wrong, is asking us about what you see that are the key hard and soft kills needed for someone interested in pursuing a Korean supply chain management, like looking at the complexity in supply chains nowadays, like the volatility, how things change, and what it requires to actually design a robust supply chain, what do you think are the keys for our learners to pursue a career in this field? Should I do a quick, like, advertisement for the MicroMasters program right now? Of course. So look, supply chain is an industry that's so interesting because it blends elements of engineering and business so well. It's very quantitative. There's no question about that, so you've got to get your math concepts sharp. But that's not to say that you just have to be really good at calculus. There's a lot of very technical elements involved in there, from, you know, inventory optimization, transportation management, but also a lot of finance, a lot of business, you know, concepts, they're very, very conceptual, but also very quantitative. And so all this matters on day to day, from cost accounting to cost management to inventory planning and forecast. Forecasting is an entire science on itself, right? So that's the quantitative aspect of it. Then there's also a qualitative element. Supply chain leaders are people managers, first and foremost, there's not avoiding that. You've got to manage people and simply because, even if you don't want to, simply because there's no way you can do everything on your own. It's supply chain is such a vast field. And for global organizations, like a consumer products company, like the ones we saw in this presentation, they have hundreds of people on each department, on each continent. It's incredible, incredibly complex. So people management, you got to be good at simplifying things, having common sense. Supply chain often comes, or should I say logistics, often comes down to real life common sense. It's not just about the science, it's a little bit about the art as well. So, a little bit of everything to be completely honest, you don't have to know anything about biology, that's for sure. Well, now that sustainability is becoming a huge topic too, I don't know, maybe even biology. So yeah, we are multidisciplinary, that's for sure. So you guys just heard from Luis that yeah, this is a tough field, but also like probably one of the most interesting ones to enjoy. So thank you so much, Luis, Paolo, everyone for being here. I just want to remind the audience before we wrap up that this was the first life event of a series of three webinars that we are going to have between SE1S and SE3X during the spring. So we still have two upcoming webinars, stay tuned for those. And yeah, again, enrollment verification for both courses, SE1S and SE3X is still open. For SE1S, it closes really soon, in only a week. So you're already a learner, but you haven't verified, feel free to go into the main page and verify for the course. If not, you can still enroll right now by clicking on the links that we shared before. And yeah, again, just thank you so much, Paolo, thank you so much, Luis. And of course, thank you everyone for joining us today. Thank you very much, guys. Have a great rest of the week. Thank you so much, you all. Goodbye. See you soon, guys.

Face the camera, please. Hold it. Thanks. Look for it in the morning express. Casey, press photographer. Columbia brings you another adventure of Casey, press photographer. The night and every Saturday at this time, Columbia invites you to follow Casey on his exciting assignment and meet the strangely assorted people who pass in swift moving parade before the shutters of his camera. Tonight, the clue in the clouds. In the quiet, easing air, there suddenly comes a whirring of wings. It's a helicopter, apparently, out of control. Like a giant bird, it flaps crazily about for a few minutes and then heads out to sea. What is it? It looks like a bird. It's a helicopter. It's a wild plane. It's out of control. It may fall. Then it clears its face. There he does, Burke speaking. Hey, Burke. Who is it, Casey? Yes, it's Casey. Listen, there's an airplane loose over the city, a helicopter. Yeah, it's out of control. Something has happened to the pilot. It's headed out to sea. The Coast Guard is trying to get the plane in the air to follow it now. Oh, yeah? Where are you? I'm at the Blue Nose. I thought so. Now listen, Casey, go home and sleep it off. I'll see you in the morning. Now listen, are you in front of this? Yes. You ought to know where you're going. I'm at the Blue Nose. I thought so. Now listen, are you in front of this? Yes. You ought to know better than to hone me in that condition. Now go home and go to bed. Oh, stop it, Burke. I'm as sober as you are. I tell you, this is a story. Okay, okay. So it's a story. What do you want me to do? Stay up all night waiting for you to get it? Oh, that's... Well, see, if I knew I could count on you, we're going down to the Coast Guard headquarters now and get all the dope we can. Maybe some pictures. Who's with you? Ann Williams. All right, you crazy loon. But this is better be good. If that helicopter turns out to be a Halloween witch on a broom, you've shot your last picture for me. You get that? Get it. I know it by heart. Good-bye. Good-bye. Ha! Hell, you cunt. It's telling you, Burke. It fell into the sea like a millstone and disappeared. Well, Casey, if 4,000 other people hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it. Who's plane was it? Now, the police say it was John Hampton. He had the only helicopter around here. Oh, yeah, I remember. Flew it in from his estate to the top of his office building every day. Our pioneer, commuter. And he's missing, huh? Yeah. He and Mrs. Hampton both. Well, take that stuff you've got to a rewrite man. Have one of the boys fix up an obituary. We've lost one of our leading citizens in a plane accident. And that's that. Now, listen, Burke, there's more. Casey doesn't think it was an accident. No for Pete's sake. And why not? Burke, I think that dive into the ocean was planned. There's something phony about this story, and I want to track it down. All right. All right. What do you want to do? Go chasing geese again? You'd better let him, Burke. Someday, Casey, you'll go out and cover a story that I won't cover. Now, go on. Get out of here. Thanks, Burke. Burke, I'll tell you, I'll make a bet with you. If I'm right about this, the drinks are on you. And right now, I'm going over to John Hampton's office to see what I can find out. Oh, you better take Williams with you. She'll just sit around and soak till you get back. Oh, Gebo, thanks. OK, Burke. We're on our way. You're Miss Gray, aren't you, Miss Matilda Gray? Yes, I'm... I was Mr. Hampton's secretary. Yes, what we want is material for a little story on Mr. Hampton. You think you can help us? He was a wonderful man. Everybody admired and respected Mr. Hampton. I don't know what else I can say. He owned this building, didn't he? Yes, the Hampton importing company occupies the top three floors. He liked the idea of having his office here in the penthouse. Mm-hmm. Is that the landing platform for his helicopter out there? Yes, that did. You mind if I get a picture of it? Not at all. Can you take it through the window? Now, let's see. Yes, I think so. Yeah, go ahead, thank you. Now, could we have one of you, Miss Gray? Of me? Yes. If I... Well, I don't know. I don't... Oh, you would swell to this picture. What about Mr. Hampton's picture? Oh, you know, I could... Paper, this is just for the record, you know. Oh, I don't... You want a youth picture of your bars, wouldn't you? Yes, yes. Oh, yes, sir. OK. Hold it. Thank you. Now, that's one you won't have to look for in the express. Now, Miss Gray, what other interests did Mr. Hampton have? Business interests? Anything at all? Well, he had a little commercial movie studio, the Aristocrat Film Company. But that's been closed up for six months. Oh, where is that? At 292 Formus Street. They need shorts, commercial reels, and trailers. But it was the only sort of hobby with Mr. Hampton. Never made any money. Well, what do you know of Mr. Hampton's family? I'm Mrs. Hampton. She was alone when she married John. This is Mr. Hampton. She had no living relatives. And he just had an uncle. A Robert K. Hampton. Oh, an uncle, eh? Where's he? Well, he lived somewhere on an island in the Celebes Sea, now held by the Japanese, I understand. He was sort of black sheep. Mr. Hampton hadn't heard from him for many years. Soon he was dead, or a prisoner, until... Until? Well, maybe I shouldn't tell you this. But shortly before his death, a letter came from Australia. I didn't open it, but when Mr. Hampton read it, he seemed terribly upset. Then he told me it was from his uncle. Do you have that letter now? No, I... Well, it seems to have disappeared. And this was just before his death? Yes, he may have had it in his pocket. Miss Gray, this uncle, was he by any chance mentioned in Mr. Hampton's will? Yes, I would say. All his money, the business, the building, everything. Oh, Mr. Casey, this is all a terrible nightmare. I can't believe that he's gone. I don't know where to turn. Oh, Miss Gray, it's all right. You mustn't take down. You need to rest a bit. How do you know what you see then? I'm... I'm all right. I'm sorry. If you can excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back. Well, certainly, Miss Gray. I'm sorry we upset you. Thank you. I'll be all right. Casey, you know something? What? A clue. She was in love with her boss. You think so? Why? Never mind. Just take a woman's rule for it. What's the matter, young woman? Nothing. You gave me a start. Why should I? You look like... If I may ask, who are you? What are you doing here? I'm just a reporter. Who is this young lady? I'm a reporter, too. What are reporters doing here? If you'll pardon me, sir, who are you? My name is Robert K. Hampton. I'm John Hampton's uncle. So you think this uncle had something to do with Hampton's death, huh? Well, look, a guy named the black sheep uncle has beneficiary in his will and suddenly gets a letter from him. From all reports, he's very upset about it. And the next day, he packs himself and his wife off in a plane for a double suicide. Lieutenant Logan pronounced it an accident. Yeah, well, it doesn't add up to me. This uncle ties in somehow. Come on, Ann, I gotta think. Let's get out in the air. The nice, smoke-laden air is a blue note I have no doubt with. Hi, Applebird. Hi, Casey. Hi, Miss William. Can I have a little bit? What do you have? One beer. Same as usual for me. Okay, beer and the usual coming up. Hey, what are you reading, Edward? A book on victory gardening, I guess. My sister, Edna, gave it to me. Oh, you said that Edna liked to read. Yes, she does. She don't drink much. What's the name of the book? Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Oh, that's so big. Why don't you read something interesting? Like that death plane story of yours in the experiment? Uh-huh. I'm following that, too. Good. Here's your beer. Well, what's your opinion? Well, I think it was a sort of chameleon of errors. I think this guy was planning to run away with some dame. He gets the plane all heated up, of course, when a heavily veiled figure sneaks into the cockpit beside him and gives him the nod to get going. Then he finds out that it's his wife and not his lady friend under the heavy drapes and that she's crossed him up. And by that time, he's so disgusted, he dumps the whole thing in the drink. On what do you base these deductions, Applebritton? Yes, mastermind. Tell us. Quote, he who tries to fool his wife ends up playing the fool himself. Uncle. You better stick to your books, Applebritton. Leave the amateur detecting the cases. And you know, Apple, but I wouldn't waste my time on five little peppers either. It's way over your head. Well, I... Well, if you tell the truth, I'm having a tough time waiting through it. You got any ideas? Well, as Gibbons declined in fall of the Roman Empire. They got that in a book already? Sure. Well, it just declined and fell last September. Hey, look, Annie, you tell him. I'm going over and talk to Ernie. Well, how are you, Casey? Hi, Ernie. Ooh, you look worried, man. Ernie got an old tune handy. Something for me to think by. Sure, sure. That's good. Can't quite tag it, though. Me and my shadow. Oh, yeah, sure. Me and my shadow. Yeah, you know that other self always under your feet. Other self? Yeah. You got another self? Now, one Casey has to stay here and work on the express. Yeah. The other wants to fly away. Oh, dear, I'm up in the woods somewhere. Ernie, you got an uncle? Sure, I got an uncle. Well, if you knew he was coming to see you, would you want to fly away? Well, I'd be tempted to. Yeah, why? Because it means that he was bringing his eight kids along to live off of me. Yeah, but the thought wouldn't make you want to kiss you. It wouldn't make you want to kill yourself, would it? Oh, Casey, why you got to be so dramatic? Of course not. Tell me, Ernie, what makes guys want to get away? Oh, a name usually. But I see them fly away from one and go right to another, leaving all their worldly good behind them. That kind of cost me, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The names are costly. Now, for me, now, I try to get the name to fly away and leave my worldly good to me. And what? Well, what? I say it is fair for the better if you could get the name to fly away and leave the worldly good to you. Ernie, I think you've got something there. Yeah, thanks. My little peppers and how they grow has got me puzzled. I'm in the fourth chapter already, and they even started to spade the ground up. Hey, come on, Anne. I suddenly got a hunch. Hey, where are we going? But tomorrow, we're going back and have another look at Uncle Robert K. Hampton. You may come in now. Thank you. This is Mr. Robert K. Hampton. Ms. William? Mr. Cage? Yes, we've met before, briefly. How do you do? Well, this is a young lady. We were so startled yesterday when she first saw me. I'm sorry, Mr. Hampton. It was just that she looked so much... I know, I know. You were struck by my resemblance to my nephew. I did. Well, I don't blame you. You know, I never realized how much he'd got to look like me until I arrived and saw his picture here. Yes, it is a striking resemblance, sir. Your hair is gray instead of brown. And, of course, he had a mistake. But anyone would take it for brothers, otherwise. I think they're quite different. After all, there were only seven years difference in our ages. I was just a kid when my brother's son, John, was born. Yeah, we were very sorry about what happened to your nephew, Mr. Hampton. These things are always kind of tough to take. Yes, they are. But, of course, this wasn't entirely unexpected. You know, I thought John would probably come to some violent end. My, even as a kid, he was always keyed up. Couldn't relax. And with all that emotion... Hmm. You should have taken things easier. Now look at me. I spent my youth bumming around the world. Never made much, but I had fun and got along. Then I found a spot where life was pleasant and I settled down. Where was that? Shudang Island, near Borneo. Paradise, simply paradise. That is, until the Japs came along. Then I somehow managed to get out. Just by the skin of my teeth, too. Hmm. Yes. Well, here I am. You see, everything worked out pretty well. Yes, thanks to John Hampton who spent his whole life with me. You were safe. I, I'm sorry. Do you mind if I take some pictures, Mr. Hampton? My paper wants to run a feature on you and your nephew. You know, your vastly different lives and activities. You know, the Hampton who traveled the earth and the Hampton who stayed at home. That's rather a good idea, Mr. Casey. Uh, where would you like me to? Can I have this picture of John? No, no. Sorry. Yes, yes, I would if you don't mind. Let's, let's try behind the desk there. All right. How about this? You'll pardon me, Mr. Hampton, but your hair's a little must. You know, with such striking gray hair as you have, you, you ought to have it looking its best. No, I'm sorry. No, no, no, don't move. Miss Williams will arrange it. Oh, all right. Now I'll just a second. There you are. Thank you. Fine, that's it. Now, Mr. Hampton, hold it. Want another? I'm sure that one picture should be enough. Miss Gray, if you please. Well, we'll take one more, just one more for good luck. Now, hold that just as you are, right there. Thank you. Oh, but I'm afraid I'm in that one too. Your camera was pointed right at me. Well, we'll see when they develop. Now, thank you both very much. Thank you. You know, Mr. Casey, uh, I'm somewhat of a camera fan myself. Now, that's all? Yes, taken pictures all my life. I have some beautiful shots of Shurang Island. I was wondering if, uh, if perhaps you couldn't print them along with the feature on my nephew and me, not that I would want to monopolize the story, of course, no, but I only thought it, uh, well, it might set off the differences in us. More dramatically, you know, give it a little added color. Yeah, sure. That might be an angle. Let's see the pictures. Yes, well, I have a few small ones in my wallet here. Uh-huh. The Japs got most of my stuff, of course. Oh, yes, I can imagine. Let me see them. Yes, here's a nice shot. Now, turn them out. Uh-huh. Hey, look at this, man. Mm, beautiful. And this is the view of my back yard, so to speak, looking north. Is that you and Hannah? Yes, that's me. I used a self-timer, set it, and then ran and got into the picture. You used a flexo camera with F-35 lens at 120 second. That's not bad. What's this one? That's me again. Same trick. Uh, that was taken from the front porch. Looking south? Yes. That lovely country. Looks almost like a stage setter. I think perhaps we're following these people, Mr. Hampton. Yes, I'm afraid we are. No, no, really, not at all. I'd like to use these pictures. They're exceptional shots. Mm-hmm. And pictures always dress up as features. Well, all right. But you will be careful to return them to me, won't you? They're the only prints I have, and I treasure them beyond worry. Don't worry, I'll treat them with kid glasses. Thank you, Mr. Casey. Now, that's all right. Now, I think we better be pushing our time and deadlines. Wait for no man. And no woman either. We're happy to mention Mr. Hampton. We hope that you like it here. I think I shall. Uh, take good care of the picture. All right. Look for him in the morning. You can play. All right, thank you. Goodbye. I don't like that young man. He's too clever. Now, darling, take it easy. After all, he's only a newspaper photographer. Are you sure this article on you is a good idea? Of course. We'll need it. Why do you think I went to all that work to get those pictures? The public must be convinced, too. Don't worry, my dear. There'll be no slip-up. That better haven't be. Not after 11 years of planning and waiting. Now that those people have the pictures, that fire will be evident. You mean burn the negatives? There are little fires and big fires. Oh. You mean it? Yes. Tomorrow night. A nice big fire. Let's see that negative, eh? Oh, here you are. Yes, sir. That I call a nice layout. Yeah. The pictures look pretty good, eh? Mm-hmm. My article's all right, too. Mm-hmm. You know, someday I'm gonna teach you how to read. Oh, yeah, all right. See, these of Churang Island came out really bright and clear, didn't they? Mm-hmm. Hey, Ann, look at this. What? You notice anything strange about those two shots taken in Hampton's front and backyards? No. Well, I do. Look. Look at this bank of clouds here. Mm-hmm. It looks sort of like a face, doesn't it? Oh, sure. It looks like my aunt Sophie. Now, quit clowning. Look at it close. I'm looking. Well, now, that's supposed to be a view, looking north. That's right. Well, here's exactly the same formation in the view looking south. Well, that's clear. Clear. It's a physical impossibility. There haven't been two cloud formations exactly like since the first day of creation. Well, they may seem fake. Yeah, they were beautifully fake. You know, I thought Hampton froze a little when you made that crack. What crack? About those pictures looking almost like a stage setting. Oh, Annie, Hampton gave us these pictures of a paper for a reason. He wants everyone to see them. He wants everyone to think that he, that he has lived all these years miles away from here. And that he arrived here just in time to have a pot of gold fall into his lap. Oh, that's a little too mean, isn't it? Yeah, these pictures are all he's got to prove he wasn't here all the time. Well, if he was here, how do we know he didn't murder John Hampton? He had the motive for it. The world isn't him, ever. Yeah, and right under John Hampton's feet. Hey, who said something like that? Ernie. That's right, me and my shadow. Annie, I think I got it. Quick, let me look at your comb. Well, sure, Katie. We're here, but what on earth in there? Wait a minute. Here, look at this. A hair. A lone gray hair. I've got to take this down to Logan and have him run some tests on it. I'll see you back here in about an hour. Well, here are your pictures of Hampton, the ones we didn't print. Yeah, thanks. I just wanted to check on him. Let's see. Yeah, here it is. Look, Bert. This one of Hampton with Miss Gray in the background. You see this? Yeah. And what a sugar-coated look she's got on her face. Hey, let me see. Don't she look like a mother whose son has just been made president of his class? Is she in love with this guy? Of course not. Are you sure, Anne? Well, she just met him. You swore she was in love with her boss. That's right, and a woman like that couldn't be in love with two men. Why not? Because she's the perfect one-man woman type. That's all I wanted to hear. I got a theory on this case, and this just about puts a pin on it. Come on. Hey, where are we going? We've got a little job of breaking and entering to do. We're going to crash the Deserted Studio, the Aristocrat Film Company. I think I just about got it. Isn't this a tiny little bit in me? I can fix that with Logan. He and I are just like that. There we are. Come on, we've got to work fast. Oh. Boogie in it. Where'd I light a match? See any light switches around here? Wait a minute. Good work. That's better. Well, so this is the Aristocrat Movie Studio, huh? And a fine place to bring a young girl in the dead of night. Annie, you see those crates over there? Yeah. I'll bet you ten to one they're full of prop palms, grass mats, and tropical foliage. Let's see. All right. Mr. Casey, your intuition is appalling. I'm glad I didn't cover that bit. Uh-huh. Artificial flowers, trees, rocks, leaves, everything you need to build up a nice little South Sea Island setting right here. Uh-huh. You mean Hanson could have sneaked in here alone, arranged a beautiful little proper setting, and taken pictures all over the place. Not only could, but he did, with a self-timer. And by changing the bushes and foliage around, he got the so-called view from his front porch and the one from his back porch. So where's the sky with the funny clouds on it? It's hanging right over your head. Look up. All those big hanging things? Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those. Those are backgrounds, you see, held up there by these ropes tied right here. Oh, quickies. Hey, look out. You want to kill us both? You pull that knot and all those heavy drops will crash down on our heads. Oh, sorry. I only thought you might want to get some down to see if you could find the one with the clouds. Yeah, but we'll have to snub the rope around this pig and let the drop down gradually. Those things are heavy. Put your hands up. He's got a gun. And you too, Miss Queen. Oh, yes, sir. You seem surprised to see me, Mr. Casey. Why? Do you forget that I own this studio now? Rather, I should be surprised. What are you doing here? We're looking for Chirang Island. And you? I came to burn this place down. For a reason that you may have already survived. Yeah. You didn't want anyone to find out where you made those phony pictures, did you? No, and I don't want you to tell them. And you won't. If you and your charming lady friends should get friends here and remit them. There's rather an ugly name for that. Murder. A murder is not a murder until it's proven so. But before I kill you, I want you to tell me something. Yes, I expected that. Most murderers are very cautious to know where they slipped up. All right, I'll tell you, Mr. John Hampton. You guessed that too. Of course. You're not Robert K. Hampton. There never was any Robert K. Hampton. You never fled from the Japs on Chirang Island. You picked that place because it would be impossible to check your story. This whole thing was arranged between you and Miss Matilda Gray. You planned this for years and been in love with her for years. Go on. You drew your will to a fictitious uncle and probably faked up enough credentials so that you could appear to be that uncle. And then when the time came, all you had to do was drug your wife, put her in a helicopter. There was just enough fuel to get over the ocean and set the controls and let her go. Don't you think the plan was clever? Fiendishly clever. There was clever of you to spend ten years working out your disguise. Most criminals try to change their identity by putting on a disguise. You achieved a change by taking one off. One you had worn for ten years. You shaved your moustache, bleached the dye out of your hair, and then came down here and took a few pictures of yourself in a tropical setting. Then, the very next day, you turned up as the long-lost uncle inheriting all your own money and in a position to marry Miss Matilda Gray. I fooled everyone but you, Mr. Casey. Kill me. Why did you suspect me? Well, being a photographer, maybe I looked too closely at your pictures. And you made the mistake of using the same sky in all of them. No. Clever of you who knows it. You stretched up on one other little thing, too. Your hair, remember when I combed it for you, Miss Anthony? Yes. Under the police microscope, a strand of your hair still showed traces of brown dye. It's those little things, Mr. Anthony. Perhaps. And then, of course, you... you should never have let me get a picture of Matilda Gray off God. Or, although she treated you badly and seemed to hate you, her love showed up in the faces plainly as all were written there. Very interesting. And as Anne told me, a woman like Matilda Gray couldn't love two men. It turned out she didn't. Both men were you. Quite right. Now, before you have a chance to turn this story over to the police, I'm afraid I shall have to shoot you both. I wonder if you've mind shooting me first. It's out of blood, you know. You can't afford to joke, Miss Williams. Oh, no. I don't want to be too near. May I stand over there by those ropes? Wherever you wish. Thank you. Good girl, Annie. Good girl, boy. That's doing it. Okay. I got his gun. Well, that drop should be... Is he breathing? Yeah. Well, he won't know it for an hour or so. Gee, kid. Nice going. Oh, darling, you told me not to pull that knot. Annie, Annie, this was an inspiration. I could just about kiss you. Oh, so I've got to save your life to deserve one stingy little kid. Well, boys and girls, day of days. The drinks are on Berks. Now, now, now. Wait a minute, Casey. My bet was with you. You can't do this to me. Can I, though? Hi, Edward. Hi, Casey, Miss Williams. Well, Mr. Berks, this is a surprise. Yes, sir. Well, are you... Berks buying the drinks, Edward. Wow. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And what else? Wow. Hello,れ,れ,れ,れ. Oh, hello,れ,れ. Hello,れ,れ,れ,れ,れ. Hello,れ,れ,れ,れ. Hey, it's Miss Williams. Oh, double martini. A double? Two all in. Oh. And the usual for me. A double. Now, wait a minute, Casey. And a double scotch for Ernie at the piano, too. Go easy, Casey. And one for his shadow. Yeah. And one for you, Edward, and a double for Grace. Casey! And see what the boys in the back row will have. What would you like, Mr. Burke? Oh, please, Edward, how much is sassaparilla? Well, as Carrie Nation once said, quote, he who partakes only of nature's liquor has the pleasure of remaining sober and paying the checks, unquote. You've been listening to Casey Press Photographer played by Sotts-Cotsworth, a new series of adventure programs and the fictional character created by George Harmon Cox. Casey Press Photographer is directed by Albert Ward and produced for Columbia by John Deet. Tonight's story was written by Charles Holden.

Welcome to this stream, which is not a Pathfinder game We are Thinking about recording some of our Pathfinder games on the current campaign that we are running We just kind of started doing one casually this year. We're having a lot of fun with it and We thought it might be cool to record a session and just see if if it's You know if it still feels as fun to play and if it's something I can kind of edit together and put up on the channel Then we thought it'd be fun just kind of share with you guys But to start with we wanted to do a little like Introduction I guess where we sort of describe what's happened so far because we've already done like six sessions. Maybe I'm not sure how I know I missed one So this is our previously on segments Where we're just going to kind of go over the beginning go over people's characters start at the beginning of the story and talk about what's happened So do we do our backstories? probably Just do like a we'll do like a general character intro just sort of like Yeah, or what your class and race are what your general like abilities are and and like personality essentially And then we can just kind of tell the story as we go Our players are going to be telling the story for the most part just because I don't want to accidentally like say something that they don't know yet Because I got a lot of stuff that I keep track of all the time And then if we do end up recording them this will go up in the same playlist as sort of like an introduction to the series Yeah, okay sound good. Yeah, let's go. Did Ricky respond to my tacos? Almost definitely not This will go for about about an hour probably because we have Some other stuff we got to do after this so we should probably do this chronologically We could do it like each main major story piece We could each do a character thing and then well to start with let's introduce characters Yeah, we started off in our first session with a big Coliseum battle between our first four characters, which were these four here Jeffrey and then I'm joining in a little bit later So starting down with Matt where oh wait one other thing this has nothing to do with altered egos I've seen a few questions about it altered egos was the other pathfinder stream. We tried doing a few years ago That's Ian's thing I think everybody who was involved in it is still interested in playing it if it became an option again But it's his thing to run so you have to talk about it But this is unrelated. This is a completely different thing. This is Kyle's thing So that might still come back eventually that it has nothing to do with this who is barred completely disconnected Who is Slade? We are this game is playing it's Pathfinder. It's not Dungeons and Dragons. It is a separate The game system that's basically Dungeons and Dragons, but with way more details All right So Matt, who are you? My character is crow boy. Oh here, uh spelled c-r-e-a-u-x Do you have the pictures? I think Boy Crow boy And he is a I thought you said you weren't going to touch anything I lied Oh, he's going to flash a picture of crowbie. Yeah Oh my god I'm going to see you know No, this shouldn't if it's already on oh, it's not already on there. Now I'm gone. All right. So I'm crow boy. I am a Whatever the bird race is. Oh good. You did do it, right? Gosh, what are they called? Tengu. I'm a Tengu He's a very metropolitan bird He's a musician as you can see Uh, he plays the herdy-girdie his favorite instrument hook up a youtube video in another tab because the herdy-girdie is like The most metal instrument of the middle ages and uh He likes as you can see he likes accessories much like any bird He picks up the shiny things that he finds and places them in his feathers A bit full of himself because he knows he's hot a bit You know, he doesn't have much interested in fighting but despite that he's still the best fighter there is Yeah, that's about it That was okay my turn My character's name is uh death occoles or death occles depending on your I guess your accent He is a gargoyle psychic And of like an aquarium race. So he looks catholui He uh He's a bit of a space cadet kind of he's kind of the quiet Type he's from like an ancient time space kitchen. So he doesn't really get a lot of uh the the modern World but he's you know piecing it together a little bit. Um pretty pretty smart dude Those wings are just aesthetic unfortunately, but they look dope Are you telling me your concrete wings? Yeah, my concrete wings aren't very good keeping you here. What are you making stone? I guess I made yeah, I made out of stone Like a pretty black Are you made out of stone if I just looked like stone? I am it's obsidian No, it's not it's been a bit vague. I guess yeah, there's not really stone But you can freeze like stone and you have like damage resistance. I was I was not that's catholui. You can't fool me He's a gargoyle catholui. I think Correct me if I'm wrong Kyle, but I'm pretty sure initially I was not a stone creature Right. I was made into stone at some point So now I am a stone creature pretty much. Yeah Oh, so he got he has the stone skin disease We should show because they're asking who did those pictures. Kyle drew all How did all that half an hour how did we also show up to the first game? We presented us with like packet like character sheets that were like On special paper like old parchment paper. He yelledy paper Said my fire a little bit. Yeah was super duper late. He's an insane person. He can do nothing half halfway Oh They're great My character's name is fifi bumble socks. She is a fairy And she is a gun slinger. She's a gun slinging fairy I don't remember the details you guys went. Did you give backstory? Hold me a little bit just like who you are. Oh, okay. Yeah. What's your motivation? Um Her family is dead and then she's just trying to figure out why and she ended she accidentally ended up in Uh A different plane. She's from The fey plain fey world type thing Her gun is magic. It has it is magic powered, but it shoots normal bullets Uh, so the magic replaces the gunpowder Yes Yeah, magic magic explosion instead of gunpowder explosion. It's that really great word that we get to throw around called energy Well It's magical in all the ways that they get more convenient to use Uh, yeah, I guess that's probably it. Is that all the detail you guys want to see? Sounds good. Yeah, that's enough. You're a fairy that shoots stuff. Did you mention how dumb you were? Oh I'm very low intelligence Um, and you're next here. You're like 21. Yes, but I'm very I'm incredibly hard to hit But I'm very charismatic. So in pathfinder fairies are described as looking like 10 year olds Yeah, they have like they have like child faces and they're about barbie size. They're about your foot ball. Yeah Uh Yeah, yeah, actually rewind a little bit. Um, uh, uh, what are your what are your highest and lowest deaths? Just because it gives people a good idea. Do you remember I think my charisma is my highest or maybe My charisma is my highest and then my lowest is like I don't know I think my int is my highest and my charisma is my lowest Yeah, you're not charismatic. I'm not very dexy either Definitely not charismatic though. Speaking of low dex John So I am a the uh 16 foot tall, uh Christmas tree tree ant named general douglas fur um I wield a giant battle axe, uh one-handed And I I make the um I make all the puns and and uh, so general douglas fur is a uh A high wisdom character, but very low intelligence character and uh, but he's high strength and high, uh Constitution because he's a he's a tree But very low dex because he's a tree He goes he goes around pretty much just kind of um He's trying to find someone that he's looking for an old friend after uh, he was sold in slavery and then sold to mr. Millennium And uh met these guys and he's just kind of a Kind of a nuisance because he's pretty arrogant Constantly trying to be in charge is why he calls himself a general despite never having led an army and And uh, and um, so if he generally just kind of gets in people's way and kind of makes good decisions sometimes and very bad decisions most times so Doesn't he though? He does He's he's very head first And then we have uh, jeffrey who actually don't have your character already still I apologize I will have it for the actual for the next uh camp uh session, but All right, uh, let's see here. My character's name is vase. He is a half orc shaman um, I came into the game With several how many games after since it's three three or four. That's it. Yeah, okay. I thought it was one of those um, yeah, so uh basically I yeah, I grew up in this village that they came through and uh help them with uh some of Missions that they had to go through a cave and fight several things. Uh, so Seeing my character Since he's a shaman, I believe he's high Wisdom, is it wisdom? Uh, it's pretty sure yours is wisdom. Yeah. Yeah, uh, that's your And I feel like everything else was fairly average Yeah But I mean I I'm basically they I came in as like the groups only healer because they have nothing um So, yeah, my my job is just to kind of keep everyone alive Yeah, why a lot more difficult than I expected it to be Why did you get thrown into our game? Because we needed Yo, we're gonna die, right because they almost because they were getting themselves killed Pretty much dead in on the rig. I had there was there was a Uh a point like after three sessions I contact everybody and it's like so hey, we're playing this Pathfinder game and uh, they're gonna die Because I don't have anybody who has healing spells Um, so can you come like as a guest spot at least for a few uh, a few episodes and he's probably sticking around I will see Yeah, no, it definitely looks that way Thanks to uh general devil is fair. Yeah, they're asking about the blue faced man in the corner That's a great segue into the first session. So let's start off on the next story Perfect, uh, you should probably start off carl because you you put us in the situation Okay, I'll get it started off and I'll hand it off to you guys. Sure. So we opened up, um the session with a A coliseum out in the middle of a jungle Um, we are if anyone has played Uh, I think fifth edition where I I'm using the continent of corvair as the map But I'm completely butchering all of it I just needed a map that I didn't have to draw out myself So I took it and I was like I'm gonna take all these names and I'm gonna decide what's there on my own so It looks the same, but I'm not referencing pretty much anything about the story um, but they are down in the the jungle peninsula in the uh, the southeast, I think um, we started off in this big coliseum and each one of them Was found independently Uh and purchased hired or befriended by a man named mr. Millennium who is the guy you see in the corner there Uh, he's a he's a strange charismatic blue man who owns this coliseum and seems to lead the town And he was he's pretty much just based off of jet gold bloom from Thor Ragnarok actually But it started off with all four of these guys Being pitted against each other in the coliseum to see uh, who was strongest and who would become the leader of a task force He was putting together So you guys want to recount what happened in that in the coliseum and that first fight Yeah Well, I mean it was mostly just a fight, which is a little hard to convey. It's true. Um, we fought a lot uh John was the first one out, right? Yeah. Yeah first Yeah, well because I was the giant tree that everyone focused Three people were fighting and crowboy was running around crowboy. Yeah, I I saw it as my opportunity because I am a showman And I care more about being loved, uh and famous and popular than about fighting everything So I was just kind of hyping the crowd up like running around playing my hurdy-gurdy like And they were all killing each other He somehow manages to always be doing the least amount of stuff but always coming out on top Yeah, we would be he always ends up saving the day despite the fact absolutely doing nothing to try and save the day Literally the most accurate description Yeah, uh, so john was out first and then I was out next and then it came down to crowboy and death ockily is Um, I can give I can give a little bit more I can give a little more detail to kind of give the scene a bit there So we were we were fighting in a coliseum and then all of a sudden the uh things It was kind of an elemental kind of shift area thing. Um, the the at first it was a large wind tunnel basically, um wind started circling around the outside And uh, everyone pretty much couldn't Stand and fifi was like really having a hard time because she's like tiny um and uh We had to try and overcome that first. I was a tree. So I was fine But um, then all of a sudden the ground started moving and uh platforms started coming out and raising up And then uh after the platforms came up it started filling up with water Yeah, so it was like it did like a full round of like pokemon stadium stages through the fight um And then eventually came down to this youtube just like in the mud circling around one of the posts until I think you got like one One like the head in on him. Yeah I had because I was I was dodging and hiding behind a platform that had risen We oh, so we had no context, right? So we're starting this off and it's like we're in a coliseum I don't actually know if I'm supposed to kill anybody. So I'm not like aiming full force at anyone They're still asking about the blue face. So just to reiterate the blue face is mr. Millennium the owner of the coliseum Yeah, yeah, um the campaign so far has just been called the millennium campaign. He's sort of the Yeah, the driver of the force. So we actually had to get everyone down to zero hp, right? Yeah, like you had to no, you were fighting to the death. It was yeah We were when it's policy when they died a bunch of paramedics flew in and like flying carpets And just oh, yeah, that's right and pulled them out. Someone tried to bribe them. I think it was john Oh, yeah, some I do bribe. I'm trying to bribe anyone. I don't think maybe it was you That sounds more like you So john goes out for a second you guys are Finding about something we're just like running around a pillar like yeah We were each very close to dying. So it was like peek out attack hide peek out attack hide Yeah, I think I think I try to like make a jump and mist like I was trying to get on top of the thing Oh, yeah, because that was the one I was hiding behind. I think yeah Uh, so the talk leaves like winning. Yeah, it was like a psychic thrust move. Yeah, which is neat because Mind thrust yeah The best power like yeah, that's that's been my crutch. What can you do that? You can roll like five d8 against people or something just without even yeah, it's it's not d8. I think it's Is it d8? No, I think it's not d8. Maybe in your next level. No, it's the number of die. I get the roll goes up I don't think the die goes up or at least hasn't yeah, I don't remember what it is exactly but it's insane But anyway, he won so I won um, they all get uh restored in the infirmary and then mr Relinium lets them know that he's uh putting together a task force to kind of go out and um Basically just take care of things that he can't because he's stuck trying dealing with the day-to-day at the At the coliseum. Yeah, and specifically he wants them to capture things and send them back so that he has more stuff for The coliseum so he gives them a one that they can use to uh Basically just pokeball different monsters. They can yeah touch it to things and if they're weak enough It will teleport them via teleportation spells back to the coliseum. Yeah But if they're not weak enough, it won't work and we can't ever use it on that monster again For you for a day. Yeah, but that's a reset of one day for each attempt, but that specific Entity not yeah that type of monster right and so He didn't see you guys out on a test run into the jungle With the instructions basically just like impress me. Yeah find something for me and just kind of let you guys loose Yeah The very first so we so we got to go to the um Arborette and select some basic light necessities before Venturing out. Yeah, this is important actually because uh douglas asked for two health potions Which comes into play later Just wanted to mention that we had do we had we had the bag too, right? Uh, not yet. That wasn't until after you got back. Oh, that's right. Okay. I'm sorry You were given very you were given nothing you would grab something if you want, uh, not really an antagonist. He's more of the instigator So far at least the coliseum that was probably the hardest part as a party to like Figure out how our dynamic as a party work because we go into the village around the around the coliseum because the coliseum isn't isolated It's in the middle of town It's kind of like a little bustling village. So we go out and That part was well, okay. So for whatever reason we were looking for a dragon Were you looking for a dragon? No, we were looking for something. We were yeah, we were looking for something and then we had For something and so we saw across cobalt's first though We went didn't go across the cobalt's before the dragon in the village. Yeah first Outside of the coliseum and I don't know I don't know anything that exists In this world and so I go and I buy a little wooden figurine that I think is oh, yeah And I'm like, what is it actually it's a It was a lizard T-rex and so I just assumed it was a dragon based off the description from other people And then Out of my hands and then crushes it She she shows it to me and then I just grab it and I crush it because Douglas fir is an asshole Hates lizards Which also comes into play later you're gonna say that's relevant How stupid are you to think that the wooden figurine I'm holding is a real lizard It made me angry No, sorry. He hates lizards and he's also an asshole. Well. Yes. Yes. Also. Yeah, he's also an asshole So so we were having trouble figuring out our character dynamic and then John said it for us So you guys eventually wander your way into the jungle Yeah, and I think encounter a few giant spiders that you're fighting off Until a whole bunch of them started just descending from the trees that was wild and then Forest on fire They were like but that's because we killed like five and then like another herd Yeah, they just started like descending it was a gruesome battle with like one Or was it one or two you fought three I think and then a whole bunch So it was it was a rough battle against three of them. You guys were running you caught one This is the cobalt Oh, right. The spiders started getting speared from a distance and all these cobalts ran in like I was holding it Yeah, we fought the first three. We were pretty bruised up and then there were just Millions of them surrounding us. This is such a cute introduction story because like as we're in the woods We're all trying to fight them. I'm doing damage. I'm actually like hitting them You're having a hard time because they're spiders and you you basically your mind powers didn't work. Oh, yeah And then we have a tree And he's actually doing damage too. Yeah, I'm also immune to poison. So I just grab that's true And then cruel boy lights the forest on fire One of our teammates is a tree So we just see John go like if we just see Douglas first like both another direction Run away from the fire and then I think I think uh me and the thoughtful ease went one way and I think he might have followed We like he likes really split. He kind of ran a different direction. We ended up back together Yeah, you pretty much all ran the same direction and then you were found by by cobalt. See just We were saying he was just first which I promptly like I'm leaving because I don't care Uh worth mentioning to answer a kitty shipper cave girls question. Uh, they all started at level three Oh, yeah, good question by next session you guys are at level five kitty shipper cave girl So then we started the next session with you guys being um led through the forest By the cobalt into their camp. Yes, and do you guys remember what? What happened after that? Yes, we got to the cobalt camp Which is basically like on a This is where this this is a session. I was not there for the first John actually wasn't present so um as they make it into the camp douglas mysteriously disappears because I didn't want to deal with playing In the whole time he caught on fire As they opened himself out. Yeah, the tree managed to slip away into the trees John's character Douglas fir is 16 feet tall. Yeah, it's a it's a weird game to plan for because she's a foot tall And he's 16 feet in there every room between so like planning just like physical spaces for them to go to is hard so we go to the first cobalt camp and They're they're they're kind of home homely I guess they say so they saved us right they saved our asses Well, they captured us. They saved us from the spiders. They let us off. We weren't sure if we were captured or not Yeah, but yeah, they took us to their village and then I'm trying to remember they were like they were like if you're gonna If you're gonna stay we need you to defeat our Our monster. They took you to their dragon for jetties. Oh, yeah. I was gonna say Just They were like they were like we need to take you to our our leader or something for judgment Cobalts are great because they think that they're related to dragons for anyone who doesn't know what a cobalt is Cobalts are lizard people. That's gonna come in. That's gonna that's gonna be important in a second And so they take us to like this uh, cave. Is it the cave one? There's like a cave mouth Yeah, it's it. Yeah, it's a smaller cave and they're like you're gonna you're gonna have to face up to our dragon And and he's gonna judge you and decide whether or not you're more like So we're standing there waiting for this dragon to come out of this, um, cave and uh Don't don't don't come out comes a was it two feet tall about yeah, it's about two feet tall Uh, kind of a lots of raptor shaped Yeah, uh thing I imagine it is a little not a little foot. Um The small dinosaur in the dinosaur. Oh, yeah. Let me watch this Oh, no, no, no. Yeah No, Petrie's the flying one. Yeah, it's uh, Sarah it was oh, Sarah that don't say Sarah that makes me sad Sarah's a triceratops, but yeah two feet tall. Oh wait, is she the stature? For wasps or raptor thing colorful did it have feathers? Uh, it didn't have feathers. It did have weird blue veins. It was a classic park Yeah, it was like yes, but like a tiny one like they were I think in real life like the actual like velociraptors are like Yeah, velociraptors of tiny Utah raptors are big. I am sure that this is a dragon Yes, like this time It's bigger than me This is the dragon. I mean they said it was a dragon. Oh, yeah, the coballs are also convinced it's a dragon I'm sure it was a dragon. Um But we weren't we weren't sure if we were supposed to kill it So we didn't do anything But then it like it sees me right flying out. Yeah, third's like trying to chase and eat you It tries to eat me kind of a playful ish way I mean definitely you were praying but also kind of play it wasn't going that hard Then I'm trying not to like I'm trying not to be rude So I'm like shooting bullets to the side of it to like freak it out a little bit because I'm trying not to Well, you were like I want to shoot at it and I was like making a tackle of them and you did it And then it hit and took down half of its health and we're like I was just trying to graze it It was like you didn't say you're trying to graze it. You said you shot at it Point blank in the shoulder blades And yeah, it was it was it had a spot that was simmering I felt terrible So then it just turned into this like cartoon with all of you guys like trying to jump on this thing We didn't want to hurt it. So we were trying to grab it physically grab it You have handle animal, right? So you were trying to like Yes, like three times. It was It's probably your low charisma and you're also terrified I was gonna I tried to get it to come to me that didn't work. It was in my hand at one point Didn't we just do it? Yeah It got in my hand, but I didn't actually make the move to grab you coax it into your hand I did I was like I had it and then jumped away It was like cat just kidding And gone and I think eventually you caught it and sent it back to the Colosseum also. Yeah. It's ducky Oh, yeah, that's right. Ducky. Oh man. That's the sad one Um Yeah You hit it with the wand. Yes and it disappeared And then the cobalt leaders kind of started freaking out because you made their dragon disappear So they uh, they weren't gonna mess with us anymore They struck up that they requested Uh, that you go to their rival camps Yeah, uh, their rival their their rival tribes camp and take their dragon instead and bring it back to them because Otherwise they were going to lose the loyalty of their entire try Yeah So this is where it gets nuts. So then they head off to the woods again found this other uh, camp up on top of a cliff Yeah, you guys got there and found out um that Right off the bat first impression This these people these cobalt's were way better off than the previous cobalt and they're together And this is the first time you guys actually like planned out a whole thing Yeah, we sat there in the bushes going like okay. Yeah, what are we gonna do? It's the scene in the movie where everyone puts their differences aside and decides to Yeah, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No, they're they're putting it for ducky. It's not All right. All right fair. Um, I don't know how to do this without just being You're good. Okay. Okay, that's the part where the rat breaks down Somebody makes a sound everything looks like it's hateful. Well, so probably started it off. Yeah, so um It's just like a camp with like cobalt's like milling around and like doing dumb stuff like poking each other in the eyes Or whatever like cobalt's there was like stone walls and stuff and ruins and things they take it over some previous building You're playing skyrim and there's like the else Well, no, it's the frisdy original second. Additionally just came out. We started this earlier. So it's first edition pathfinder Yeah, they're hanging out in some ruins. There's a cave back there. And so I'm like I'll start a distraction Because that's pretty much all I'm good for at that point in the campaign. I can't fight for nothing but I have a instrument and so I go down crowboy goes down and starts putting on a free concert in the park And the cobalt Love it. You rolled high on you rolled like a like a 30 or something. Yeah, I wrote a form check to that It was ridiculous. Maybe performance is my highest stat Charisma is your highest like base stat, but your performance skill is like I think plus 16 or something ridiculous So are you on the outside of the camper or are you on the inside? He goes right in the middle of it. He's just like yeah, I just like start playing in the woods and like walk up Like I'm a traveling, uh, you know showman I just imagine the chicken from the Robin Hood Disney Yeah, also he would have brought us tacos. You completely ignored it and now I'm out of tacos I didn't ignore it. He's got back. He said I would have done it before when he had seen it He didn't see it. I have to get tacos later He got back from what? Tacos from wherever he was. He was getting tacos. Because I didn't see this till now Is that my fault? Maybe we got his tacos. Anyway, so our plan is to go around the fortress Dothogaly's and I are going around the fortress. You're harrying him with fairy dust Yes Oh, yeah, okay. We should go over some special powers we have as a rule of lawyering thing Yeah, this is kind of interesting because she has this ability to apply fairy dust to someone as a move action And it gives them a move speed of 15 feet for a round Fly, yes fly, but she was like already sorry a fly speed of 15 feet for feet for round Yes But then one of you guys asked like well if she just keeps doing it can we just keep flying and Through some stuff. I was like, I don't have anything that says she can't So I guess really if she just like right like you know sits on top of you then you can just sort of fly indefinitely Just constantly fairy So proboys over here just like jamming out on this thing with literally the entire camp around him him. Well, off in the distance, he's kind of like, slowdened. Like, it's a fly speed, but it's like the mobility scooter version of flying. So he's just like, slowly hovering over this wall. Oh my god. Yeah. Well, now wait a second. No, that's what happens. Yeah, you look so cute too. We all actually have some decent, some like, kind of, we all have like, I have a kind of a little special power like, she can do that. I can talk to plants. Oh yeah, you can probably do something. He basically has talked to plantas just like a regular power as a language. That's how we found the cobalts. What? No, wait. We were going towards them. When we found the second camp, I think he actually asked like, which direction it was at. The cobalts guided us. Oh my god, I forgot about that. You guys had cobalts with you as an escort. Yeah. Yeah. We told them, didn't we tell them to go away? Because they weren't useful. Well, you guys, yeah, you guys had five cobalts. We had an army, we had a small army of cobalts. They followed you out into the clearing and we're just sort of like mingling with the rest of the cobalt during one of you guys. Oh, during the concert? Yeah. So you guys get beyond these, there's like two layers of walls. You guys get past that. And then there are two other cobalts that are still stationed at this like, dense forest tunnel that leads back into something. Can we go over the geography pretty well already? Uh, I'm like clearing walls and then there's sort of an opening in the back of it somewhere. But we're on a cliff. Yeah, first it's cliff face, which we like kind of scampered up with the cobalts. And then after a good distance into the cliff, there's wall number one. And then behind wall number one, a little distance, there's wall number two. And then there's a path that cuts through all the way from basically the first wall into the mountain. Yeah. And there's forest. Well, into the forest. It's basically just really dense forest, but there's a clearing of a sort of path that leads back into it. So it's just walls of plants that just kind of leads back into it. A fire Kirby setting denounces genocide. Great. Good job. On that note. Yeah, wait for it. On that note. So we're about behind the second wall. We think that's where the dragon is, right? Yeah, but there's two cobalts. There's four, I think, actually guarding it. Only you and I are there because he's still hurdy-gurdy and hard as I'm doing. Great. The Douglas is gone somewhere. The Douglas is still just hanging out there. So you tried to sneak in, but got caught and then learned how weak cobalt are. Right. I got caught and I was like, okay, I'm just going to take a shot, I guess. So I just like take a shot and it is out. Yeah. It's dead. She just workshops the cobalt and she's like, hey, these things are squishy. So both of you just like jumped on it at that point. Yeah, they were out in like seconds. And then, so we go in through the like four detailed things. We're like, yeah, we can take a dragon on our own. We just saw a dragon. It's like two feet tall. A dragon. Right, the dragon. I don't know any better. Yeah, that's what we were thinking. Maybe someone else said something. So you guys find this just empty clearing with nothing in it for a second. Right. And then you hear something approaching and I think you freeze because you have your statue. I have an ability, yeah. You have like plus 20 to stealth if you just don't move. No. Every time that happens I actually just like hide behind his shoulder. Yeah. You just like tuck down under. I don't even think it's plus 20. If I, if no one is around at the time and I don't move, I am just, I, I appear as an object. Right. I think it's, I think it's the same as like taking a 20 on stealth, essentially. So technically somebody who was like really perceptive could still tell, but no average person is going to tell you apart from the statue. Right. But then out of the trees emerges a dragon. A baby dragon. An actual dragon. A small one. But not, not two feet like our last dragon. No, it's terrible. This one is an actual dragon. And I'm like, we should go. And then. I'm a statue though. I'm pretending to be a statue. I'm like, we should leave. So it looks up and sees him there. Just in its clearing. And just kind of like, like holding in on this thing and drops whatever it's like dragging in some carcass or something and drops it on the ground and then starts like easing towards this weird statue thing like sniffing at it, very suspicious. And then Thomas has to make a decision. And what did you do, Thomas? I proceed to use my, what was it? Mind thrust. Yeah, mind thrust and attack the dragon. And I'm like, oh fuck. Well, it was like an ambush basically. That was the right thing to do. It wasn't a bad decision. It was the best decision you had. This would have been an awesome trophy for me. Because I expected this entire party to approach this thing at once when I was planning this out. We're missing our DPS and our bard. So he does the mind thrust on it. It rears back and then it speaks back to you through the mind. That's right. And says something about like, you don't belong here. And then does an ice breath blast at you and takes down like half your health at once. And then you guys make my favorite decision ever, which a lot of D&D players don't make, which is, we should run now. You turn around and you just book it down the corridor. Ryan, we were like, oh fuck. I'm like running ahead of you. You shot at it, wait, before that? I did, I did. I shot at it. Because we thought we were committed. Right. We thought this was our fight. So you shot at it. I am the damage, like in our group. You ranged damage and John Smaley damage. Yeah. And I do a lot of damage. And so I shot at it and it did nothing. And then I was like, we gotta go. Because Thomas does not do enough damage without me. I don't know even what happened. Apparently I could hit it, but it just didn't land on me. Yeah, that particular role I had. Yeah. But I was like freaking out. We gotta go. So we ran. I tripped over along. And then he chased us. So let me have a whole chase sequence, which is funny. We're going to plan out a chase sequence. We did have a whole chase sequence. Long story short, without going through every step of the chase sequence, they crashed through the woods, got out, like vaulted themselves over the wall. Oh hey, there's somebody that paid to get super chats and we'll respond to them in just a minute. Oh cool. They vaulted themselves over the wall. Crowboy Cell, they're just playing away. Just rocking away. And just sees them running out. And then a freaking dragon breaks through the tree. Oh cool. I'm sitting there playing Old Town Road, and there's like a hundred in front of me, and I see that stuff has gone down. So I court of shards, and like a hundred cobalds just turn into blood in front of me. Time to go. And then I think I switch to Make Fast song. Oh right, so he has a song that increases every day's speed. So they're all booking it, but the dragon's still fast and flying. And it releases another big cone of ice breath, and then you drop. Like you go, you go, you go, unconscious on the ground. That's right. I'm K.O. I'm like, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. Like, oh god, what are we going to do? And I was pretty sure you were going to die. But then she was like, wait, John asked for health potions last time. Yeah. And you had them on you. You had the bag. That's right. I had the bag. You had the satchel. So. The wand in it that teleports makers. Yes. I had the wand. So she grabbed her tiny little fairy body, like pulled one out in the force bag. And then finally, you guys make it to the end of the clip. I think you just like belly flop, like slip and slide on the mud, like just off the edge of the cliff. Right. We make it all the way to the edge of the cliff, and it's like, can't run anymore. And then you guys go off. We kind of have to go into more detail here, because this is like a really, like a lot of stuff happening in this one moment. She flies, like floats him down, as you fall through trees trying to grab it stuff. And I'm failing every line grab I'm trying. No. But I weigh like two pounds. So like not falling that fast. Right. You get to the bottom with him, and then realize, so he's falling, you catch him right over the river. Yeah. Like he stops like, like over the river. And then you see him falling up there. So you like that crap. And so you fly off that way. I do. Which cancels it on you. So you drop into the water. And you sink. And you sink because you're a stone man. But you don't have to breathe. So that's nice. I don't have to breathe. Because I'm a quarry. Aquatic. And a rock. I'm an Aquarius. I'm an Aquarius. I'm an Aquarius. I'm like Crowboy over here, who's definitely a Gemini. Yeah. So you go over him to the ground. And then you fly over trying to help him. And the dragon crests the edge of the cliff and then starts flying down too. Right. So I'm freaking out because So you guys take this away. The hot place has already died. And I'm like, oh god I have to think of a plan like immediately or else we are fucked. Because the dragon has now come down. You're underwater. And you're falling. And we like just make it to the ground. And I'm like, we have no plan. We are screwed. We are absolutely screwed. And so I make like a split decision. And I dive into the water towards Thomas. Or towards the Rockleys. But I'm again like. Yeah. I'm not even a pound. I'm just like this tall. And I immediately start like, don't I immediately start like. Yeah, we're doing like that. Yeah. You start. So this is great because she, I don't know what anybody's plan is. Also this whole time Allison has been going like, I have an idea that I can use in like a last case scenario. But I don't want to do it yet. And I was like, I know everything on your character sheet. I don't know what you're talking about. But I'm interested to see where this goes. So scared. So she tries to dive into the water. I'm like, make a swim check. It doesn't work. She just swathed away. Wait, I'm sorry. We forgot the part before where Treebeard busts out of the jump. Yeah. And destroys a bunch of cobalt. Well, because the dragon is like. Oh, okay. Douglas runs out and just buries his axe in the back of the dragon. He gives us the opportunity to jump off the cliff. All right. That's right. He gives us the opportunity. So that's what delays the dragon chasing you. Okay. That's a good point. The dragon is chasing us and then suddenly you're like. The trees are moving apart and one tree is like running through them full speed. Suddenly there's just like the walls around this place like crumble and you just see this giant tree with an axe just like. Straight into its back. But then the dragon comes over the edge. You guys are already in the water. Yes. So it eventually lands and starts taking its head and looking around for you guys. And so she gets swept away. She's flying off like reaching. You try to reach for her on your turn and it doesn't work. Yeah. But then you're like, wait. I have this ability that lets me telekinetically move five pound objects. And I was like, technically she fits in that description. So if you want to use it, go for it. But she'll take damage from it or something. So you end up like pulling her towards you and end up grabbing her. I did take damage. Yeah. Dragon's looking around for both of you. You managed to communicate to him. I'm like, look at my brain. I'm pointing at my head. Yeah. I basically allowed you to use a mind reading thing. Which I have in my head. You asked me. So you were able to communicate to him that you wanted the wand. And so I was like, oh, she's going to try to hit the dragon with it and see if it does something. So the dragon actually at this point had stuck its head underwater and had found us. Because you would like sunk to the ground. The dragon is not an idiot. So it flies down to the water and it had sunk its head to the ground. And I'm over here like flailing, trying to get you to read my mind. And once you do, I say that I want the wand. And by that point, the dragon is actually coming at us. He was swimming towards us. Yeah. So the final moment here is the dragon just like drops into the river and just pushes off and lets the river propel itself at these two in the water. And then Allison goes, okay, I touched Thomas with the wand. And everybody there was like, wait, what? And I looked at his health and I was like, technically that could work. Roll the d20 to see if it works. And she rolled and she touches it and he just like disappeared. The way I've described it is every time you hit it, it does like the Harry Potter like teleport thing where they like... The operation. Yeah, they just like wrap around themselves in the fourth dimension or whatever and disappear. He disappears. The river immediately takes you just far away. And the dragon just like stops like The wand is about my size. So I'm actually like holding on to it like this since I just like float down the river. I'm speeding. And then you just run off into the trees. Yeah. The whole time I was just like covering myself in mud like Arnold and I'm Predator. But then he looks at me and so I just run away and it wasn't hard to get away from him in the thick forest. Meanwhile... Meanwhile... Douglas is still up on top of the cliff just murdering every single copal. He does not like lizards. I really... Yeah, Douglas Furr really does not like lizards because he's enslaved by them. So it was great because then we ended the session with the literally every member of the party being in a completely different location. So it was part of it. So we leveled up. I basically gave each of them their own little thing to do. Right. They've sort of revealed like you went back to the Colosseum and had a talk with Mr. Millennium and you walked your way back. Kyle called Jeffrey was like you were trying to die. Well, we'll get there. You ran into a friendly man in the woods who taught you how to shoot better and then Johnny killed a bunch of cobalts and walked back. And at the start of the next session... I didn't kill a bunch. I killed them all. So this was sort of the introduction. I was going to say should we... Oh, yeah, yeah, real quick. I wanted to just read off. We got a comment on the Super Chat thing which is something that YouTube allows now. What is this currency? It's from Crimson Mindatar. It's Yen I think because he says hello, I love your videos in production. I first found this channel with the video Civilization 5. I'm not invading you. Thank you all for entertaining us. Love from Yokosuka, Japan. Sweet. Oh my God, that's awesome. So thank you so much. That's so cool. Also, by doing that, I believe he donated money to us. That's why he's featured there. So thank you so much for that. Thank you for joining in and thanks for the donation. Thanks for the money and also thanks for being from Japan. That's just like the coolest shit ever. That's just awesome. I don't know. I know that we have a lot of like, like British fans. Thank you for being born. Thank you for being born. And like, Brits are cool. I guess. Wow. Wow. But like, he's from Japan. So, so... So that's such a hit about the halfway mark. Yeah. Yeah. About halfway through. That was the first main big thing. Oh no. Our second big thing. When we... So I'll give a quick segue and I'll let you guys kind of take it away again. But starting back up, they met back up at the Coliseum. Mr. Millenium greeted them. Praised them for the stuff they were able to catch, specifically about the Velociraptor. You like that a lot? I slapped Kyle. Express that he... I'll give you a hit though. Thanks. Oh. Express that he... He would have liked the dragon. Wow. That sounded like a hurt. Yes, again. They were also introduced to a couple of background characters seeming ladies behind them, which were the weird snake woman that led his... That was the captain of the guard there. Wait, what are we talking about? The next... When you guys got back to the Coliseum, you reconvened... Oh, right. Oh, we met in the end. He was in a conversation with a strange muscular snake lady and a short cloaked hobgoblin guy. Oh, wait, what? Oh, I wasn't here for this. I think you weren't. I think you missed the first half of this one. You did. I'll fill you in on those characters later since I think I didn't... Oh, this is the one that John wasn't in? Oh, this one has another tweet. He was in this one. He just joined late. That's all. Yeah, but there was a tweet. All right, there was a tweet. There was a tweet. There was a tweet. So Mr. Millennium basically handed you guys an empty bag and said everything that you need is in here. Go forth into the world and do the things on this list. Spent 40 minutes on that bag. And he left, went out to do work, and you guys started making your way towards the town of... I'm forgetting the name of it. White something. White claw. You haven't heard of it? White claw. You were the name of your town? Yeah, off the top of my head. So they make their way through the forest towards this town heading north and out of the jungle into the world to go perform some deeds for Mr. Millennium. Now we have a map. Now we have a list of things Mr. Millennium wants. Yes, you have a chore list. You have a destination. There's only one real way out of where we are physically located on the continent. We're on a mountain pass through this range of mountains. So we're on a mission. I personally think it's important that Matt spent an hour-ish trying to figure out how the bag of holding works. I think this is very important considering what Jeffery did later. So yeah, for context they spent an hour trying to figure out how to see what's inside the bag. Which was cool. It was kind of like... And they failed. They never figured it out. And my personality fun... No, y'all didn't. Well, yeah. We kind of had it. But my Chromeboy's personality fundamentally changed because he was trying to figure out what the bag of holding was and he stuck his head inside. And I was greeted by just a void that had no emotions. It was a cave. It was like a head through and it was just a black and white cave that you couldn't breathe in. But I didn't even see all your stuff laying around. Anyway, it was very strange for me. But I still couldn't figure out what was happening. It is worth noting because it becomes very important that the whole planes and dimensions and stuff... I made up from scratch for this campaign so they did not follow the traditional D&D route. Right. So, yeah, inside the bag of holding he specifically was a... He was inside of a cave. Everything was black and white and you couldn't breathe and all your stuff was just kind of laying around on the floor. But I couldn't make out any of this stuff. Yeah, it was like all shadowy or, you know, wispy. So, Thomas, you were... What were you saying? Also, Thomas saw a creature on the path which was a completely silhouette like a silhouette of owl that flew off in the direction they were flying in. And I spoke to it psychically because I can do that. And I said, I see you, and it said, I see you too. And then we just kept going. Yep. Like owls do. And eventually found yourself at Whitecliff Whiteclavage. Which was a village of orcs, half orcs, and humans that looked like it had been attacked recently with several buildings damaged. And they were greeted by the chieftain that saw Douglas thought he was a forest spirit and said that their prayers had been answered and took you guys to see their town shaman figure out how to repel the attacks that were coming out of the cave every night. Yes. They were being tormented. And then what happened? They all came knocking on my door. You literally knocked on our door. It was amazing. And this is just like how Kyle is the best DM on earth. Yeah. Because it was us four in the campaign. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We were expecting. Oh, this is. It was just like these. It was so odd. What the? It's a new TV character. It's right on cue. What a tweet. The door knocks. Is it pizza pie? I planned this entire thing. Are we into here? Yeah. There we go. Come on in. Come on in. Hey. Hey. Hi. So they were just talking about how someone knocked on the door randomly. Yeah. Literally. Not randomly. Right as you knocked. Well, planned, but for them. So, yeah. We're sitting there and we're all playing for like an hour and a half, two hours or something like that. Sorry. I told you our stream didn't cut out. Okay. Sorry. I cut out on my phone. Sorry. Go right ahead. Anyway, we're playing for like an hour and an hour and a half. We're holding, but like Jeffrey's not here. And then we like go into the village and the chieftain's like, oh, go talk to my son. He lives in that cabin over there. And so we go and we knock on the door to the cabin and then Kyle gets up and opens the door and Jeffrey's just standing outside. And he's like, hey guys. And then he just walks in and starts playing like without missing a beat. Yeah. We're just stunned. We don't know what just happened. Like were you in your car? And he was. And he wasn't part of our group. And we just show up to this village and he's like, go knock on the door. Kyle opens it. We were, we knew John was going to show up. So I spent like 10 minutes looking at Jeffrey trying to be like, does John look different? Why is Jeffrey here? And yeah, you just jump in, you just sit down and you're like, anyway, so hi guys. I'm the local shaman and we're like, why the fuck is Jeffrey here? Yeah. It was planned out for a good long time. Kyle, you know, he planned, I remember he told me to, if I wanted to play, make a character and all this. And I said, also don't tell anybody that you're doing this. I want this to be a surprise. And this was like a month before hand at least. And so, yeah, it was planned for a long time. And yeah, the day of it was very interesting. I got here fairly early because Kyle didn't know exactly when I would need to show up. So I was waiting in the car for a good little while. And yeah, that was, that was pretty fun and entertaining to do that. It was so immersive. Okay. And then we meet with Jeff, we meet with Vaz and John shows up. John, are you there with that point? I showed up. Yeah. I think that's when I showed up. Just a little bit after Jeffrey. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It was a little bit after Jeffrey. Okay. And then the story continues like this. Yeah. So basically, my, my village was getting attacked by this giant golden automaton. Like every single night, this robot would walk out of the cave that our village is next to and he would just start destroying houses all at night. We would try and fight it off. We couldn't ever destroy it. And he would just keep coming back every single night and we were trying to figure out a way to stop this. No, no reason. So, if I remember correctly, basically I went into the cave and I found a catfolk dude to come through. That's right. Yeah, that's what started it off. So, catfolk dude came through, went to the cave. And then after, shortly after that, basically, there was like a large rumble or something. Like some sort of noise or something like that. And I went to go check it out. And that's when I came across my Shadow Owl companion. So, which I believe is the same one that y'all came across earlier. I didn't know about it. I never saw it yet. Yeah. So basically, you know, I'm a shaman of life. The spirit of life. Yeah. And this is kind of like the exact opposite of that. Do you have Jeffery's character yet? I don't have his drawing done. Unfortunately. So the owl is basically like a spirit of bones? I think that was the name of it. Yeah. So you have, you have like, yeah, good light and like dark stuff, like multiple different powers coming in. Yeah. So it's an interesting concept and I'm taking on this owl, which is giving me new powers and stuff like that. And but right after that is when we started getting attacked, the villagers are getting attacked by this robot. Nobody in my village knows I have this owl. So I've been keeping it secret. The owl's nice enough. I like it and all that. And so, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to hurt it or anything and I want to figure out a way to stop the robots and that's when these people come in. Wait, we have a super chat. We do have a super chat. Annery real quick. This is from Skyhunter. Wonderful job, LOL. Keep up the good work on the videos too. From Scotland. Yay. Thank you. Scotland. This is where you weigh in on your opinion of the Scots. By the way, it's probably worth noting that Douglas Fur is a Scottish. Yeah. Scottish. Douglas Fur and everybody from the place he comes from has a Scottish accent so that's fine. Yeah, Kerboy is a, what, what's the accent? New Zealand? Oh yeah, my accent is Korg. Korg is the accent. Korg is the accent. Korg is the accent. That movie about Scotland. So just to, we're running kind of, to not try to go too far over our time here, we have, they fight off this Atomahunt thing when it comes in. They've managed to destroy it. It melts into gold slag. I believe you spend the entire night tearing it up and sticking it into the tag. So, there's a, Gargoyles are known for being, for having like weird quirks. Like maybe collecting things. Which I didn't intend to use at any point. But now I just I hoard things. Yeah no, especially with the bag. Now that I have an infinite bag, I just, I'll take it. That has finally helped them figure out how to access the items in the bag and see what was there. They didn't know how to see how much all the items were in the bag. They were just kind of like trying to guess they put their hand in like, think of something and see if it would come out. Which it would, that's how it works. There's much supplies and there was a painting of Mr. Millennium which is what you see 30 minutes ago but we started 30 minutes late. So everyone's trying to figure out how to open this bag for like the entire time they've had it. And then Jeffrey comes along and just turns it inside out. So let's skip ahead a little bit just so that we can cover like the next actual big part. They spend the night, the next morning they venture into the cave. They find that it's been completely collapsed and they have to take sort of a detour where they come across giant dwarven ruined doors and have to solve a bit of like a magic puzzle to get inside. We make it inside though. Yeah. Make it inside and we kind of like start exploring all these different corridors. That was a dungeon crawl. It is a dungeon. We're officially in a dungeon. Basically trying to find what's sending these things out so that they can stop it from happening. Right. So it's like this two-story like with an open area in the center kind of dungeon thing. And so we start going down these like different hallways and just start opening doors. I think that's the first thing we do is we just start going different directions. So DiLacoli and I went upstairs. We split up the party. We did split up the party. Never split up the party. So we talked about not splitting up the party. The cowboy goes right and then we did. And Sir Douglas Fur and Vaz go left because Jeffrey's character thinks that the large tree people are spirits. It's the spirit of the forest obviously. Right, right, right. So he's like this dude's a god and so he follows him. We all know that that's a bad idea. Because I'm following footprints because we saw cat footprints and I'm trying to find a cat full person. Right, right, right. And so Crowboy stumbles into a room. The best room. He's like the best room. He always ends up in the best room. I walk into a room that's empty except for just like a suit of armor. A suit of power armor. Yeah, but I don't know that so I'm like trying to talk to it. Hello. Hello. What are you doing? But it's not saying anything. He's like go and I poke and I prod and I turn and it opens up for me like power armor and fall out four. Yeah. And I step inside and it has, it chose me. It chose me. Then I just have this like golden Wolfenstein power armor. Yeah. And everyone else is like dying to ghosts or something. And then you get to fight on your armor. Yeah. Then I test out my armor because there's like shadows in the corner and I have a gun on one arm and like a blade on the other. And I think I found this armor because I was useless for the other four. I actually wasn't sure who was going to find it but it was convenient that you found it. Yes. Because basically my only skill is playing songs for my buds and then none of them ever want to take the bonus that I gave them. Yeah, they don't. Well, you always take the speed bonus. So Kyle was like here now you are Iron Man. Okay. So John and Jeffrey went left. What did you guys find again? We found a, okay. So Jeffrey and I wander into a, we go, we go, we see one door and we pass it by because it had writing we could read on it. So we're like, nah, let's keep going. Maybe we'll come back. So we go to another door which is bigger and we managed to open it by taking the handle off the other door and we open it up and we just see a war between automatons like from, they kind of like, Kyle apparently didn't know anything about this but they're like they're like the Dwarven automatons from Elder Scrolls and just a bunch of those fighting a bunch of shadow monsters and we just like see that and we're just like, nope. And we back out. You two just like opening the door and seeing all this. There was like a giant like belated spider monster fighting all of us. Oh yeah, made of swords. And then just And so we go back into the other door we found and we open it up and there's just an archway with a, we don't know it but it's basically an old-timey camera and we're kind of looking at it and then Jeffrey looks through it and what do you see Jeffrey? Yeah, so I'm going through and I'm seeing pictures of what is landscapes, right? Or no, no, no, no, no, no, no. When you're looking, first I look just through the glass I look through it and standing on the other side of the room is basically like a baby-faced ghost person or like a shadow person but had like a baby face and I take a look out of the camera and nothing's there and I'm freaking out. And I don't see it because it's not, I can't see it. Yeah, I can't see it and yeah, this thing was just freaking me out which has, it's like continuously haunting me the whole time I've been in this cave after that. And Jeffrey was like legitimately scared because that description so he finds a power armor and we find a whole bunch of note so... Yeah, just note. And upstairs you guys run into... We run into like a, what are they called? Atomatons? Yeah. We run into like a little construct. Yeah, construct. And we try to convince him can you see our papers? Yeah, he's like papers please. Oh, we were like... Yep, we got those. Yep. Didn't work. Didn't work. We unsuccessfully bluffed. What? Didn't we run from him? Yeah, we still ended up running from him and then ran into the interrogation room. Yeah, into the far... We have ten minutes to explain the rest of this story. Yeah, so we run into a room. The room is an interrogation room like Kyle said. Oh no. I forgot about the room. Ends up... Now the room, the automaton is locked out the construction's locked out. But we're locked in and turns out there's a... I always say it wrong. Wraith. In the room too. So we proceed to fight the wraith. There's a giant mirrored wall and out from it pops up a wraith which then attacks me. So I can't do anything. My gun doesn't work on shadow creatures which this place is plagued with. I am small which means if anything hits me I die which they can do because they're shadow creatures. The only way to escape them is by flying but we're in tunnels so I'm mad. She's not scared. She's mad. I'm mad. So we end up coming back together with all of our different varied stories and we spend the night like idiots. After murdering the one automaton that you found in the hallway. No, no, no. That was the next day. We kill that first. How about that automaton fight off the wraith? Oh, you did and then you finished killing it. Yeah. But we mean Sir Douglas for no reason. He started attacking us. He was so nice to us. He was trying to take us to jail. We needed to go to that jail. We ended that session with them deciding to go into the interrogation room, close it off and do a sleep so that they can be ready to fight the next morning and share some stuff. So this leads us to our final session. They come back in. They spend the night there a little bit. They swap stories and have some bonding campfire time. Jeffrey just keeps reading the hell out. Nobody knows what's wrong with him. I had a dream about the baby-faced shadow person. Oh, we skipped the big giant door we entered in. That's right. We mentioned that you came through the door. Well, it's kind of important. When they leave the room, they find that the entire place has been covered in a layer of water and the doors they entered in have been closed and all the lights have turned red and they navigate their way back to the big factory floor that they saw the battle happening in and the door has been completely broken open by a whole bunch of weird water-logged and barnable-covered zombie things that look like they have thrown themselves but they're able to get it open. Oh, you left out Jeremy Stevenson. And they... Oh, yes. They got in there. They did at one point before that you guys went into the last room that you hadn't visited and you know, the weird existential construct that was sitting in the corner and had been for thousands of years. He was adorable and we loved it. And so we took him in and then we went to go figure out how to escape this place that was now full of water and red lights. So we go into like this... We do have a super chat real fast, sorry from Candy Meow. I feel like we didn't appreciate Kyle's fantastic artwork of all the party characters enough. It looks beautiful keeping your great door monster work greetings from Germany. But a different place every time. The art is awesome. Kyle put more effort into like any one of those drawings and I've put into any... So we eventually make it into like the big like open like room area in the back which has another set of large doors on the other side. And a conveyor belt in the middle. And a conveyor belt with a Gatling gun in the corner. There's all kinds of crap in here. Three large cylinder containers against the wall that we enter in from holding like 20 foot tall Jade constructs. We didn't see what was there at first. You went into the control panel during the ensuing fight and turned them on and like this thing opens up and it's just a big greeting robot face inside. Right, right. And there's a control panel on top of that on the door. There are bigger doors on the far end of this thing being held open by a giant lobster creature that has jammed itself into the doors. Right. So we all split up in this room. I grew up to the control panels above the Jade construct enclosure. I run up to a giant Gatling gun. And meanwhile I struggled to run up to anything because I'm slow because I'm a tray. Matt like busts and starts taking out shadow creatures one by one. Oh yeah, zombies. Literally. Just destroyed. When we say Matt, we mean for a boy, Matt actually wasn't there for this session unfortunately. Well, I did better than I did now. And Dethokles has decided to walk towards the large lobster creature and do like a mind-thrust thing. It's of my people. Right. So this horrifying creature is holding open the doors to the giant something like Dethokles feels weirdly at home and we're all like oh fuck. And this whole time you guys have started hearing a voice booming throughout the thing saying that it knows you're here. It wants the prism and it's requesting that you come show yourself. Right. So Thomas starts doing like rolls here and there. We're like, what's happening? Turns out he was rolling to see if he was going to get like sway to the dark side. Pretty much. Because this creature and him have some kind of connection. He's a Jew. And I'm over here trying to figure out the control panels with the cute construct that we adopted into our family. He's so adorable. Poor Jim. And eventually you fight the lobster thing. Yeah, we all curl boy He's in cat shape. Yeah, he's in cat shape. Yeah, curl boy and I take on the lobster. You guys end up fighting pretty much everything in the room. Yeah, we weaken it because we're also shooting it with the Gatling gun. I was rolling like crap. Yeah, I mean I shot like at least like 12 bullets. Okay. I got it. I do so much. So I do so much damage. But this whole this particular fight this whole fight I did almost no damage. I was just rolling nothing. Yeah, you were slow. I had a hard time getting to places when I finally got there I was rolling like fives. All right, because you slipped and hit the three minutes. So we skip again. We teleport Thomas teleports that lobster thing with the wand because it's crushed by the doors anyway. And then you get the doors open the big doors you manage to flip all these switches the big doors open up and through the doors is a very stranger things ask like you touch the you touch the lobster with the wand. Yeah, he capture the lobster and then through the doors the tentacles coming out of the portal which seems to be the source of the voice. It's for at first they replace themselves as you attack them but they're So we all keep a safe distance except crow boy is like on his way shooting at it with a gun from a safe distance and then when Sir Douglas finally catches up he heads straight towards the tentacles So crow boy is like taking out these little they're in this room they're no these are shadow creatures I can't damage the shadow creatures so I went for the only fleshy thing I could see right so you head straight for the tentacles and he actually hits one right he tries to swing it one and it doesn't hit at all I think he rolled like a 21 and the tentacles just like part and move out of the way and then they grab him and grapple him at one point I had like 42 health it did 30 damage in one hit and I was down to like 12 and then at one point I was down to like 4 for some reason I was down to like 4 health so you guys grabbed the rest of you are trying to figure out how to shut this thing down and you realize several parts of it are jammed up with like metal bars so you're pulling stuff out psychically John is trying to access the controls in the back of the room and none of you have been able to figure out what they do yet so you end up helping him get there John is about to die I'm looking up death rules because I know that this thing's next turn John has to make a will save and if he fails which he will it pulls him into the portal and they will never see him again I was about to be out of the game Crowboy though shoots it with his armor gun right before the tentacles turn rolls a map 20 also we the gene that hasn't happened yet okay okay and he manages to sever the tentacle and escape and then also get hit by a single shadow in the room but get away with one health I have one health left and then your efforts back in the back managed to finally open up one of these things and a gigantic construct up to the control panel this whole time she's over her messing with the thing emerges from it and starts immediately focusing in on this portal and just starts shooting a laser out of its face and anything in its way and so it finally comes to a point where you pull the last thing out of the machine I think you or Crowboy or somebody like cranks the control around in the control panel and then something breaks all the lights turn off the portal the tentacles just like get sliced off and fall the ground and then the cycles through and you guys see like multiple different planes flashing through and so finally it lands on what looks like your plane but somewhere else and then the portal starts closing so everyone has to just book it through this thing as fast as possible which is easier because thankfully you're playing your song that increases everybody's speed the only person to try to everybody win but here's the thing the entire facility the entire facility was on lockdown the front door was completely locked and shut and there was no lights in the place at all anymore and there was still John talking Nester Douglasburg and there's still a giant baby or a still a baby monster goes in there after him so I grab him oh is that why you grabbed him it is so I grabbed him because he stopped all rushing to get through so he hesitates or I used to think he hesitates and he stops and I grab him and I jump through with him and then as the portal's closing behind us we see Jeremy Jeremy Sheamus Chad or whatever his name is Jeremy Charles Chad or something I don't know we know there's Jeremy in there somewhere but we gave him like four different names so we just combined them all he's like running at us and I'm like no like running and waving in the distance and then the portal closes and we left off with this group standing outside the middle of like like Oklahoma basically just just wide open fields in front of this this closed arch portal thing now and in the distance there are several wooden houses and that's that's where we're starting up next time why was it boys that's the whole story that's what's happening that's what's happening that's over so next time we play we're gonna start up on that session we're gonna record it and if it turns out I'll be posting it on this channel you're posting this to the channel too right so people can refer back yeah yeah people who start late but yeah that's basically the story what do you guys think are you interested in seeing more of that do the characters sound interesting is that like a story that is actually interesting to watch more of with these guys playing we lost half our audience we did yeah there's a lot of talking yeah this is gonna be more useful later on I think right this is more of a reference back to you should put like like time stamps in the description for when this goes in yeah well somebody will do that someone else will do that basically there's four big there's four big sections you have the Colosseum you have the dragon cobalt things and then you have his village his village and then the Dwarven area yeah I think most people that are watching this are probably interested in I mean probably if you've stuck around this long I assume you're interested in seeing the actual game be played yeah and it's yeah it's way more fun actually I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean it's way more fun actually watching because these guys are great at playing their characters it's been fun and Kyle's a great DM Kyle's a great DM Kyle's an outstanding DM yes and we'll be able to have you know hopefully more more guest appearances and stuff in future episodes and things like that a lot of it has you don't know you don't know what I'm doing alright whatever but yeah basically the only the only things that we're thinking about are like I'm sure that it's still just as fun for us to continue playing how who is this now the other stuff that we're doing later that I'm not going to mention right here yeah that's pretty much the plan and we're going to record them we're going to post them up separately they're not going to be live because again this is a nightmare to try and put together you can just keep the close anyone's welcome to answer Rachel what's up that's pretty much it's Matt you guys were staying with us so I think that's pretty much it for the stream today though we're going to go ahead and close this down thank you guys for tuning in and listening to the the long D&D story and tune in when we when we actually get started we're going to record it I think in a couple of weekends if everybody's available and then hopefully that means we'll have it up like roughly by the end of this month or early next month we'll have the first session up yeah alright thanks everybody who stuck around yeah bye bye everybody I'm going to rush over there and try to turn this off now so the longer you take the more awkward this is going to be

Direct Director of Planning and Economic Development. I can't get Claire's name right today. Planning and Economic Development Director Claire Hartman will present. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Yeah, my name is Claire Hartman. I'm the Director of Planning and Economic Development. And I'll be presenting for the study session tonight or this afternoon. But there's quite a number of us here to support this item. We anticipate you will have questions and we're all here to support that. It is an educational session. That's what a study session is all about. And we're here to learn about annexation opportunities for Santa Rosa. So just to keep in mind who's available to support this item. We have our City Manager's Office Representative Darielle Dunstan and Jason Nett. We have our Chief of Police, Chief Cregan, Chief Reswip, representing the Fire Department, Alan Alton representing finance, Jennifer Burke representing water, Jen Santos representing parks, and Jessica Jones representing planning. There's many more that were involved in the preparation of the study session. These representatives are here to help us field any questions that we might have. So what we're going to cover today, and I will click through a number of these slides. There is a lot to cover. I want to be able to get to public comments and to your questions and your own comments related to the subject matter. So we're going to go over what brought this item before you today. We're going to talk about annexation boundaries. We're going to talk about something that we learned about called disadvantaged unincorporated communities. We're going to talk about annexation principles and how important those are to set if you were to venture into a city-initiated annexation process. We're going to talk about the timing and the cost estimates, and these are our best educated guesses at this point ahead of any work plan and budget we might prepare, and then our staff recommendation. So a little bit of background. The last time the City of Santa Rosa ventured into a city-initiated annexation process was Roseland. And that started in 2014 and was completed in 2017. More recently annexation has come up as part of our conversation. It came through actually through even our most recent city council goals, which we, Santa Rosa adopted six goals, one of which was housing for all, another one was community and economic vibrancy. And these spoke to an objective to be open and partnering with the county to discuss the opportunities for annexation, whether it's mutual interests. And even more specifically to look at specifically South Santa Rosa, the Moreland area, parts of South Santa Rosa Avenue, and then what we call the Todd Creek or 2010 plan area. And so that really is what kick-started the conversation to date. There were three other sort of, I would say touch points along the way since that goal setting session. One was the city's housing element study session, which I'll talk about in a minute. That happened in June. And then shortly after that, another touch point was we had some interest from a developing team that represented a number of acres in the Todd Creek 2010 plan area and an interest to annex and develop that area for primarily housing, but some other uses as well. And that was a pre-application. So not an application that was filed that we could process, but really a meet and greet and high-level consultation process for that. And then in October, the council was interested in what it would take for the city to initiate and expedite the Todd Creek 2010 area. So that's actually roped into the study session. We were already gearing up for this study session and that fit nicely within the context. So mostly to kick-start the conversation, there was a meeting, a kick-off meeting held with the city and county leadership. So members of the city manager's office, I myself attended, and also the county administrator's office, as well as Supervisor Chair Corsi and former Mayor City Council Chris Rogers. At that meeting, that meeting was important because we were really just at the early stage of how would we approach this topic. And one thing that was clear there was that we had a good experience with the Roseland annexation and there was a lot to be said about that when you put your mind to something that it could be successful in its process but also understanding that there was some successes with post-annexation of Roseland but there's also still a lot of work to do. So just understanding the context upon which the city might be initiating yet another annexation. And we talked about the key principles that were part of that and that comes up a little later in my presentation. And since then, there's been a number of meetings between some city and county staff in terms of process, setting expectations but also the city team of what it would mean to incorporate. So today's session is really just to receive the report. This is a study session so we're not here to adopt anything or allocate resources but really understand what this opportunity is about. But if there was interest tonight to act, there would be questions that staff would have of council. We would need direction on boundaries and key principles and really direction to spend time on an actual work plan and budget. Right now you're getting the best educated guess. Okay, so one of the key pivot points that got us here today even just talking about annexation is housing. Housing is a regional issue. So it came up when we were looking at our draft housing element in June. So what this chart is is a representation of the regional housing needs that need to be addressed by jurisdiction. These are allocations that are brought to us by the state. You can see Santa Rosa's housing needs. And this is for this next cycle. So from 2023 to 2031. And you can see highlighted in pink here is Santa Rosa's housing needs and the breakdown by income category. You can also see where the other cities play into the role of fulfilling regional housing needs. Obviously we have the most in the county where the urban seat and that's appropriate. You can also see that the county of Sonoma has the next highest and that's distributed throughout the county. But obviously there's a place that we interplay with with the county in terms of where those might be located adjacent to Santa Rosa. So in the study session you were presented with a draft housing element and how the Santa Rosa would meet those needs. Now we of course we look within our city limits and our strategies and principles of urban planning and city-centered growth. Walkable neighborhoods and what that. And so you can see here that we did find capacity in that early draft housing element this has since been refined. But you can see that there's capacity to meet Santa Rosa's housing needs. There is a buffer here. There is a capacity surplus. And then back in June that looks tempting to be able to absorb potentially other units. However, this is prior to really a real refinement and this buffer has since been cut in half in terms of the ultimate buffer is much less and you'll see that. But we are still staying to our principles. We're staying on schedule for housing element adoption. It should be before the council for consideration on February 14th. We can meet their target without rezoning sites which is phenomenal. That means we don't have to go into neighborhoods and talk about rezoning their sites. We were able to focus on downtown and priority development areas or transit rich areas within our principles and of course we were able to meet our targets without annexation. And we do need a buffer. It's actually required and we have a reasonable buffer even after refinement you'll see. About the same time we received a request from the county to consider absorbing 1,800 of their units and you can see you don't get to specify which is the income category. It's distributed according to the state's protocols. But at the time it was a bit late in terms of getting that request. There was no funding associated especially with the below moderate units and we know we need to make sure that we plan for that. The support for those units in particular and no analysis or engagement. The council did consider it at length. We had a healthy discussion on it but ultimately the move was to continue the city's housing element as drafted because there is a timeline. You do want to meet the timeline so that you can stay in good standing with the state and we were able to do it and so that was the direction. But you can continue to have a conversation with the county about opportunities for transfer of these funds through annexation and that can happen at any time. That was the direction that led us through this process. I'll start now with the next part of the presentation which will talk about potential boundaries and what options we thought would be good for the sake of study and discussion and then principles and time of cost. In terms of considerations, these are the key considerations in terms of staff trying to get some options for you to take a look at. Community interest is really important. Definitely of those that would be coming annexed into the city because there's an opportunity you do need support for that move if it's if there's a protest hearing you want to make sure you've done your due diligence to engage and educate and this is something that they would support and you also consider your existing residents and what they might think and so we don't have the benefit of a lot of engagement up front but we know that's really important. Fiscal responsibility is this mutually feasible for city and county to make a transfer and then key considerations staying within the urban growth boundary and being compliant with local and state policy and LAFCO policy as well LAFCO is actually the final authority on annexation so we can do a lot of the work up front but ultimately LAFCO will make the decision and LAFCO is our local agency formation commission. So we set a base map so high level here or this is the city of Santa Rosa what you see in the dark blue line is the urban growth boundary is actually set by is actually set by an election so ours was first adopted in 1996 and ran for 20 years but it was re-upped in 2010 through what they would call a measure O and our urban growth boundary is good until 2035 and what that means is development shall not take place across its line for the city of Santa Rosa the elements of this base map you'll see most of it is sort of a brown and that's the city limits so those are incorporated that those residents are within our jurisdiction and then can you see my and then here's an example of sort of a purple tone that's what we call the sphere of influence and so that is an area where it would be predictable that there would be services available for future annexations and development you can see that there are some gaps here where the sphere of influence does not align with the urban growth boundary in most cities it does so this is some work that we'd have to do LAFCO actually has the authority to process amendments to sphere of influence so that'll come up in a little bit later and and I do want to know also there was a fourth thing here this hatch mark this red hatch mark here this is what we call the Todd Creek 2010 plan area so this area is actually hatched in our general plan land use diagram and it has policies that go with that hatch mark and basically it's called the 2010 plan because the policy is you're not to annex it prior to 2010 obviously we're past that but it also has other policies that speak to how and under what circumstances it's to come in to be annexed or developed okay so we went through and vetted five, six, seven different options because there's a lot of talking back to the community interest there was a lot of different interests in terms of potential annexation areas we heard about Moorland we heard about the industrial property south of Moorland and south Santa Rosa Avenue areas that would include the Freedman Brothers property and then of course as I mentioned developer interest in the Todd Creek 2010 area and so one of the things we came up with was those were all contiguous they were all on the same side of the city there's a lot in common so one of the options for the sake of discussion analysis was what we call south Santa Rosa so just to put this in perspective and there's a close up here this entire area of unincorporated would go from our city limits down to the UGB urban growth boundary it's about 1400 acres I guess to put it in perspective it's about the same size as the Roseland specific plan area Roseland was 700 acres for the annexation piece but a specific plan was about 1400 acres which is what this is I'm sorry before I leave that I just wanted for those that are not used to this area so again this double hatch mark here is the 2010 Todd Creek area there's a couple of unincorporated mobile home parks here to the north there on Avenue 101 Yolanda's right here and then coming down south Bellevue this is the more sorry this mouse is really sensitive on the east side of 101 is the Moorland neighborhood and to the south of that and to the south of that is the industrial lands also to the east to the west of the Moorland neighborhood and then on the south side of south Santa Rosa freedmen brothers is about right here and then down to scenic okay the other option was well especially one of our principles was time and cost efficiency one of the things we learned quickly is if you take any one of these little parts there's a lot already that's prescribed with the annexation process and the environmental review process so there was just a lot of efficiencies to couple those all those sub districts together in terms of if you're going to do it you could do all of those at once and then another the other option was well if you're going to do it why don't we at least consider all unincorporated areas and there's a lot of unincorporated areas in Santa Rosa so this would add quite a bit more acres to the options so this one's 3600 acres versus the 1400 and this diagram shows all of Santa Rosa and you can see just graphically all the little hatch marks those are all unincorporated areas most of them are islands I think we have like 30 county islands and then some of which are fringe which means they're not completely surrounded by city limits but they're maybe adjacent to our urban growth boundary and then surrounded by on a couple of sides city limits and here's just a enlargement of part of that so you could see how the things to note on this one is that they are scattered throughout so social economic demographics are just a complete mix so we're looking at lots of different populations that we would want to engage with through the process and then also topographically they're really different and their service needs are different so some of these islands have sewer and water already and some have sewer or water and some of them have nothing so lots of different conversations to have when the degree of impact is quite different and then we didn't do a deep dive into state law and annexation but we did a first run and one of the things that came right out the gate on our first run of looking at state law was something called SB 244 and SB 244 addresses and it protects annexing say high resource areas at the expense of a disadvantage or a lower income community and it defines what they call a disadvantage unincorporated community as a community with an annual median household income less than 80% of the statewide annual median household income right now it's about $81,000 so a household income of 81,000 or less would qualify and we ran the threshold for that with the city's GIS and you can see here in purple which covers quite a bit of the city but you can see it covers the almost the entirety of South Santa Rosa option so that would be something to consider okay moving on to annexation principles so annexation principles are really important because you need to set expectations setting expectations up front is really helpful to know to what level of service are you going to be bringing a new community into the city of Santa Rosa and then likewise what is that impact on your current residents and also principles frankly are important because it helps staff prepare a work plan that meets your vision for something like this so this is just an example you could pick whatever principles you would want if you wanted to venture into an annexation effort we're actually pretty good I think that they are a good place to start if not to keep for any future annexation so one of them is new residents will receive the same level of service as current residents and the second one is levels to current residents will not be reduced in order to provide services to the annexation area one of the things to always keep in mind is that these can be aspirational because it's not like you flip the switch and all of a sudden all the services are there it's something you work towards but by putting the principles up front a part of the process that's your commitment and so this is one thing that we will hear if the city does venture into a new city initiated effort we will be sure to hear that Rosalind's not done yet don't stop paying attention to it okay and then a high level is just how does this process work I'm simplifying it into five phases probably there's lots of different ways to package this but I would just say the first phase is confirming the interest that you would like to venture down the path of a city initiated annexation process this would be the direction of these are the boundaries that we would be interested in processing, learning about key principles you could provide the direction to staff to prepare the work plan and budget and that's where you really start getting into the details and matching up those principles for how do you get there and then you allocate funding to the effort phases would be okay you've decided to go forward you're going to secure all the contracts the consultants that will do the work you start activating that city county ad hoc that you would want to make sure so that there's some cost sharing agreements up front you're starting to develop those things and then phase three is the bulk of it it's the bulk of any annexation where it includes really defining the boundaries doing the legal mapping of the services any of these sub districts or all Santa Rosa effort will require a plan for services and that's the logistical connection of actually serving the area upon annexation because once you flip the switch that's now our responsibility and then also pre-zoning also a specific plan we want to venture to that and then of course the environmental review which typically for annexation that's not a little county island you have a couple of items tonight on your agenda those are completely different scale than what we're talking with any of these options so any of these options would typically require EIR environmental impact report and I can just tell you that the combination of those has the same cadence so it doesn't really matter if it's one of these sub districts or all of them it has the same cadence and that's the bulk of our work and then the future steps is once we're done then LAFCO process starts and they process it and if there's a need for a protest hearing they process that as well and then phase five we transfer the ownership okay so in terms of how long does this process overtake I just spoke to that a little bit again as an example of and we talked about it for 20 years but when we decided to do it it took three and a half years and that's actually quite remarkable and it included extensive community engagement it included a specific plan it included an EIR and it included the annexation and plan for services and again the annexation part was 700 acres but the specific plan was 100 acres we think South Santa Rosa even if you take the entirety of it would be about the same time if it's resourced appropriately and everyone is all for that for the sustained amount of time it takes to process it we do think that the all Santa Rosa option would be a bit longer not necessarily much more expensive but in terms of time probably up to an additional year just the complexity of having to go out to have additional engagements throughout the city and on all those various circumstances I talked about under all these scenarios we would be still looking at the preparation of a specific plan for the Todd Creek 2010 area potentially even wider boundary and that does not take any additional time it's actually a concurrent process that would fold into this three and a half years Rosalind annexation was prioritized so one of the elements that the council had brought up to be added to this item was the idea of expedition like if you want to do it how do we get it done as quick as possible so I would say Rosalind is a great example for that it was an all hands on deck and I mean all staff council and good relationship with the county that's what it takes but we do think that if you did one of these that you know we have the means to pull this off again in terms of the length of time this is going to impact city council goals and our work plan for the city because it infects all the departments it's just something to think about putting it in context with all the other competing interests that you might have not just this year but for the next three years okay now let's talk about cost so again we did not produce a work plan for you tonight this is a study session that would be some future item if that's where you want to go but again looking at Rosalind in terms of annexation there's a lot of similarities and then we'll talk about the differences so in all we expended about the process towards the Rosalind annexation process 1.4 was from the general fund and 650,000 was from MTC a bank grant that supports the planning of priority development areas such as Rosalind we do think that South Santa Rosa would be a bit more complex in many ways than Rosalind so we do think that like annexation of South Santa Rosa would be more expensive than what we experienced with Rosalind again it's not Rosalind was surrounded by the city limits in the heart of our city right so there's a lot of already embedded mutual understanding and information that we had but we have not been engaged so we would have to engage and do that analysis and not just technical analysis but engage with the population that lives there and so and then also this is back from 2014 one thing I will say before I leave this slide because it's good news is that there is an opportunity soon to apply for a specific plan priority development area grant and we this is through MTC a bag they opened up an opportunity towards the end of December this last December and they have application deadline of the end of February and we could be eligible for up to $1.2 million to apply for this it could go to a specific plan and EIR and we think that would probably be what we need to do one for South Santa Rosa so that would be a companion piece it does not obviously cover the rest of the process okay so I'm going to go through these slides pretty quickly just highlight a key thing about again the Brain Trust is the city of Santa Rosa's executive team and all our excellent working teams that put together our best educated guests about things to consider in terms of the cost of annexation so again prioritization if that's important this is how you do it you dedicate staff to champion the project in Roseland the example was at the time I don't even know if we had assistant city managers but we had a different staffing model but at the time they did add resources in the city managers office to champion it again it's a cross department it's a regional effort it's important that it could stay facilitated through the city manager's office and then in addition it's a lot of planning work and so we were able to hire a three year limited term senior planner to process that work and so we would suspect something similar it doesn't have to be exactly this but something similar to this to support the project for the south Santa Rosa the only difference with the all Santa Rosa again could take us an extra year so we would have to compensate for that okay finance so we don't currently have any funds assigned to a future annexation effort or specific planning effort so to sponsor this we would have to figure out what resources would be available I just mentioned one it's great to have a grant opportunity I tell you two weeks ago I didn't really know we had a grant opportunity so we're always mindful and watchful and it just sort of came together that that's great news we have something to apply for it's competitive but I'm always confident we do good work and I feel confident we could we could pursue that we don't have a slide here for you on revenue projections and things and we would that would be part of our work plan and we know that's definitely part of the equation there's obviously revenue potential and there's growth potential for any of these options from the police department perspective we had a lot of lessons learned through the annexation of Roseland and so we would want to reap the rewards of having that experience and doing things appropriate to do another city initiated annexation especially of this area we know how we need to staff and support communities here and so we would make sure we propose that accordingly we do think that we would need an additional police beat we did not ask for that in Roseland that was one of our lessons learned we tried to make do making do is not not where we want to be we want to do a great job and to do a great job we are looking at a new police beat for south Santa Rosa should we pursue annexation fire department we would be detaching from our existing fire protection districts we would be looking to expedite the construction of fire station 9 fire stations come with staffing and equipment so it would be another cost to pay attention to the fire department those are probably our two biggest but we have some others here transportation and public works a lot of lessons learned here annexing roseland great deficiencies of infrastructure in these areas and so we need to make sure we understand where they are and help prioritize and fund and so part of this is to analyze that gap that service gap and then set a plan to really address those gaps and again south Santa Rosa in particular it's just unplanned unstudied and so that's where some of the costs uptick would be is to do that again appropriately in particular very much interested in transit oriented infrastructure alternative to vehicle infrastructure and so we would need to expand our sites for our transit services in particular out in that area for water we would want to review a transfer of responsibility from south park sanitation district to the city that's fine I think we can go through that process that's just acknowledging that there are going to be some challenges with sewer and water and storm water and in particular I think you recently received some updates on new FEMA maps and what not and we were fine in the city of Santa Rosa there wasn't a significant impact in our city limits but we did recognize at that meeting and I'm telling you today that it's more challenging as you go south for adhering to those FEMA maps in housing you saw the map there's a lot of lower incomes in this area of the community and so our housing team would stand up for the challenge but we'd need to analyze what does it need to support this community and there's quite a few more mobile parks in this area than we're in Roseland and we have lots of programs that can help but we just make sure that we have a good match and that we can offer what we offer any of our residents for parks this area has essentially been unplanned there's again unlike Roseland where it was in the middle of our city and we actually maintained some of those parks that were in the county we don't maintain any parks in south Santa Rosa so we'd study the responsibility for that there would be a transfer of that and then also obviously we need to address the need for new parks and where and how but so there's an engagement process that needs to happen with that okay last but not least planning and economic development to me what we need is we need a strategic specific plan for south Santa Rosa to bring it in and just change jurisdiction and with a logistical technical stack of studies or plan for services it's not appreciating the community that it is it's mixed it's been underrepresented it is underplanned and grossly underplanned lots of deficiencies in infrastructure at least to city standards and so all of that can couple together nicely with a specific plan and those are the only types of plans that you'll get grants for from APEG and MTC because it's the right way to do urban planning and to bring in communities to a city is because it's giving people a choice to build the vision for how they come into the city and transform the current conditions of that area and it will tie everything I just said together with that that concludes my presentation there's quite a few of us here and also online to help answer your questions I guess in terms of a recommendation a couple of things one there is no urgency around this matter we are moving forward with our housing element there is a sense of interest in this topic and I guess our recommendation is to put this interest in perspective you are going through council goal setting I think early March that would be a great time to put this into context for all the other current projects that we're working on and also future projects that you'd like us to work on to figure out how this is all going to fit and then also of course put it in context with the funding opportunities that we have or could allocate to something like this so with that I'll just stop there and those are that's my presentation thank you director Hartman for the presentation and also all of the staff that are available to answer any questions that the council may have looking to council for questions councilman Opreki thank you I have a few questions I'll start with water just because I only have one question about water is there anyone that gives a little bit of a description as to what area South Park water serves how South Park water is serviced and if there would be what the rates are compared to ours if there would be any benefit to the community members that are South Park water if they were just moved to Santa Rosa yes I believe Jennifer Burke is joining us online can elevate her thank you councilmember Opreki and I apologize can you please repeat the question as I was being promoted I got disconnected from the audio no problem so I just wanted to was hoping you could discuss a little bit about South Park water South Park sanitation and the area it serves if there who services that both administratively and the actual servicing of the utility as well as if there would be any how their rates compare to ours and would there be any benefit to the community members that from moving from South Park to Santa Rosa water sure so a number of questions there so South Park Sanitation currently South Park Sanitation District for sewer services only for areas that are in unincorporated pockets of Sonoma County within the city of Santa Rosa city limits or urban growth boundary it is not a contiguous service area so there are a number of different pockets basically if it's not within the city of Santa Rosa city limits but it's a county district so it's a it's a it's a map of area and it has sewer service it's served by South Park with one exception in that when we did the annexation of Roseland we were unable to dissolve the South Park County Sanitation District so any area that was in the Roseland annexation it's a it's a map of areas in the south and western parts of Santa Rosa that South Park serves currently the district is a county district they have an agreement with Sonoma water to provide administration of the district and then Sonoma water has an agreement with Santa Rosa water to provide for the operation maintenance of the sewer system itself so we provide for all of the O&M and report that information back to Sonoma water and then Sonoma water is the legally responsible organization in terms of permitting requirements for operating the sewer system they also collect and do they collect any fees related so we provide that collection for any of the residents in the city of Santa Rosa but that money is then transferred back to South Park for any design review or other parts within the district and then they also collect any rates for South Park customers in terms of what those rates are in comparison it's a little difficult here because they are on a collection that is through the tax bill and so they have a rate that is more heavily on the fixed charge but we'll be moving over more to a volumetric rate over time as part of the most recent agreement with South Park that we did as part of the Roseland annexation we are working with the city of Santa Rosa and the city of Santa Rosa and the city of Santa Rosa and the water so that they can transition their rates over time to be more closely aligned with Santa Rosa's rates so more heavily of a volumetric rate and a fixed rate portion and then eventually move over to monthly billing and those pieces need to occur so we're going to move that district over it's going to transfer from the county to Santa Rosa in the coming years and once that occurs there would be a new board of directors consisting of two council members and one board of supervisors so we'd have to operate it as a completely separate district I will say in terms of information but there is potential that with annexation of the underlying land there's a 70% threshold of the district and we could look to take over the district in a different way that would more closely align them with how we run the sewer system in Santa Rosa so hopefully that answers all your questions but I'm happy to provide any additional details thank you a few more questions Director Hartman you said that there's an opportunity for a grant next month that's a short timeline especially as the city works do we have staff available to apply for that if that is the direction you're given today? yes okay and then with that should we get that grant we have the specific plan slash EIR the corresponding EIR would that be for the entirety of the area that we are proposing for annexation or is it specified to certain areas? that's a great question the grant is for supporting a priority development area so South Santa Rosa and our the city's priority development areas obviously within the city limits so we have a South Santa Rosa we have a Santa Rosa Avenue priority development area which is south of 12 it goes to our city limit line the county has a priority development area from the city limit line to the south point of the UGB one thing we would consider with the grant through the process of a specific plan is amending the priority development area to be coterminous and to expand out we would recommend also out to the 2010 Todd Creek area for example and maybe as far over as Marlin and the industry but yes I guess the answer is the grant would cover South Santa Rosa boundaries to be specifically determined to be keeping in mind that it's supporting a priority development area which is essentially a transit supported community so for clarity could that be the entirety of option one potentially I'm sorry I missed your question could it potentially be the entirety of option one yes okay great and then just because I was a lot of 34 pages of slides of information the economic benefit cost benefit analysis that would be part of the work plan that you bring back before we approve living forward the work plan would set out how we would answer all the questions related to the process so how much staff time needs to support it from beginning middle to end what studies do we need that's one of the studies we would be able to answer some questions just from our own staff teams and then other things we would have to hire consultants to do third party analysis of but yes we would all of that would be part of leaning into the work plan and if I could just add quickly so the the potential grant with MTC a bag just to be clear it would cover the review and analysis to prepare a specific plan and the associated environmental impact report that would not cover the additional cost needed for processing of the annexation itself and plan for services and all that goes into that process so I just wanted to make sure that that was clear yes thank you last question I'm trying to get a view of this map I'm looking at the southwest border of the urban growth boundary and there's there's those corners along Todd road where it jets up to Bellevue and then down I'm trying to get an idea of what streets those are what is actually incorporated in there or if they follow streets at all you want some identification of the south Santa Rosa map and identifying some street names to get context that'd be great yeah okay let's see that's probably me sharing my screen and finding that slide again because I'm looking at it it could be like standish or bane so I don't know which one it is I'm trying to get an idea Claire that's slide 13 thank you okay yeah actually I have some notes on this because I agree I wish there was a few more landmarks here okay so my cursor works so I'm going to start here at the top I believe this is Yolanda this cursor is not really okay at the top of the hatched marks is going to be Yolanda um let's go to the left here you can see this says Bellevue so that's the top hump of that hatched area this is the start of Moorland neighborhood this says Todd road this is scenic and then there's a little lake here is that Petaluma Hill road is this street out here right I'm asking specifically between Todd and Bellevue going up right there what street is that and then the one just to the east of that that goes down towards scenic what those two roads are this right here sorry this is sensitive this line right here is Dutton standish so standish is the UBG line oh the UGB line oh that's standish and the UBG line is Bain perfect thank you councilmember Rogers along the along the same lines the question that I have with the urban growth boundary in particular is does if we take in that entire area does it get down to freed bends not that that's an important question at all for it is important because it has come up from time to time and so like I said one of the things that we were trying to reflect when we were trying to look at different options and boundaries is we keep hearing what about freedmen's well freedmen's I can tell you is right here between Todd and scenic so just south of Todd on the east side of 101 perfect and then urban growth boundaries are obviously very important but so are community separators if we were to take into account the entire jurisdiction how much room do we have in terms of separation from us to the runner park city limits mm-hmm I don't have a map that shows that but there is a community separator between the two cities I don't have the acreage or a map that shows you that but there would be a separator okay so more than runner park it's not massive I could say that the urban growth boundary does go down pretty far south and I appreciate that I got a chuckle from Mr. Bramford and I was going to see if he had anything that he was planning to add maybe in public comment from Lafko's perspective on some of the questions that we have here I don't know if this is the appropriate time mayor or is it possible in public comment thank you perfect so I did have a number of other questions you would talk a little bit about the transfer of arena numbers from the county to the city we've talked about it in the chambers a couple of times you have the two different options ones in the housing element which it sounds like that cart is too far down the road the second is during the annexation and just as a point of clarification I don't want to cloud things too much does the impacted arena units have to go in the annexed area so for instance you were showing the slide from the county of what they would like the city to take does that amount of units correspond with how many units we're talking about in terms of annexation or if we took that arena number from them would it have to be programmed in the annexable area does that make sense I'm not a hundred percent sure I'm following the question I can say what we did with Roseland see if maybe that helps and then we can clarify with Roseland the area that was annexed there were a certain amount of arena units that the county was identifying in there and the city accepted those arena units in addition to the units that were currently under construction so we got additional arena units added on to our total and then also we're counting units that were being constructed at that time to count towards those additional units and so our number if we were to annex this area there the county has identified in their housing element a certain amount of units in that south Santa Rosa area and so likely what would happen is we would take a look at the total number of units that would be added on to the city's arena and potentially identified on those sites we would have to take a look at it and do some analysis ourselves to see if those are appropriate sites but I suspect that would be the number that we would be looking at that's very helpful so the number that the public just saw in the discussion of the request from the county doesn't necessarily correspond to the discussion around that's not what it was prepared for that's correct it wasn't definitely not that specific also keep in mind arena numbers are income oriented so it's not just number of units it's at what level of affordability so you need a lot of flexibility to meet our arena targets city or county doesn't matter it's a lot of coordinated thought to especially to support the below market so I think I think deputy director jones' point the county is undergoing their draft housing element they're just a few months behind us really but they are looking at they have disclosed their draft element and I can say there's 17 sites within the south sanarosa area identified in their housing element 10 of which are proposed for rezoning to up zone not to city of sanarosa standards but a lot for the county and so that would be another pressure point in terms of our interest in annexing is to be more strategic about how those units land and also the arena numbers are all about new housing units not existing residents so it's all about constructing new housing units so I think that's a good point and I think that's a good point of the 2010 annexation area just for context for council why was it determined that that area could not be annexed up until 2010 I'm not sure that we know the specific answer to that question I think it had to do with the it was it wasn't that we were looking for specific conditions to have already been met that we assumed would happen by 2010 that is a good that's an excellent question yeah I'm afraid we're not going to have a perfect answer for that I think I think it was hand in hand an expectation that it shouldn't just it shouldn't just come in it should come in with an integration and not prematurely I guess that's what I feel safe to say otherwise I don't have the information about the exact reason why it was worded the way it was worded where's John Sawyer when we need him so you already you touched a little bit on accounting for public safety and staffing standards of coverage so I appreciate that what's the process or timeline and maybe Mr. Bramford can answer this in public comment if we don't know for the determinations by Lafko on the the duck the D.U.C. and in particular when we have these conversations there's multiple areas within the proposed Santa Rosa area that under the Lafko definition I think all fall within the disadvantaged communities definition is there a requirement of taking all of that or is there an ability to do it in pieces so yeah I believe Mr. Bramford will speak during public comment what I can say is it's about contiguous duck properties when you are annexing so so for example the option to the all Santa Rosa even if those islands are in a D.U.C. or a duck they're not necessarily contiguous to the other parts that you're annexing so we would look at those differently and I would imagine that Lafko could look at those differently but where you are looking at the 2010 Todd Creek area for example and that's defined as a duck per state definition and then right next to it even closer into the city is also a duck if it's contiguous I think it's a hard argument but that's essentially something we'll have to explore I was just curious especially if you're I'm using just as an example Santa Rosa Avenue you got a duck on one side you got a duck on one side the argument could be made that you could do one side and then do the other side right so that's kind of what I'm looking for a little bit more information and does that impact the timeline or the cost or the ability I know we haven't done that level of analysis yet that I can speak though too one of the things one of the criteria options for the sake of discussion analysis was time and cost and the efficiency it is all about the same time to process because that annexation process it's fairly predictable all the steps that you have to go through and the same with the environmental review process so if you do these things concurrently if you do them concurrently you can get the whole thing done in the three and a half years if you do them consecutively there's been spoken about yes that can take a long time because you're going to do it through and could potentially make the first part of what you did outdated so you do need to be careful about how long do you want to be in the process of phasing an effort like this thank you and then my last question and you touched on it a little bit the idea of a specific plan versus not having a specific plan that even if there was not a specific plan there are specific studies that are enumerated like an EIR can you talk a little bit about what studies are required and what additional information you seek to get in a specific plan outside of the required studies I'll start just a quick supplement so the technical studies that described the plan for services that's essentially it so it's addressing water on a very specific level with some context and then you're doing the fire service and the police service so you can have a stack of technical studies that speak to how a newly incorporated area will be served the specific plan is much bigger envelope it's putting it all together it's and instead of how are we going to serve it upon annexation it's how are we going to serve it in the future like what's the vision as it all play out so there are really two different scales entirely in terms of serving a development or serving a newly annexed area versus what's the vision for bringing this community in and how is it all going to interrelate so different scales and different length of projection of what you're studying for and the other thing that I would add to that you're getting into looking at the necessary infrastructure to meet whatever the vision is for the next 20 to 30 years that the specific plan is going out you're looking at how is this area going to develop and how are we going to serve it both with infrastructure like sewer and water and roads and then also the services but it also provides an implementation plan on how not just what is needed but how are we going to pay for it and actually get the work done so that we can build this area up to the vision that was identified in that specific plan and one more important point about what you get at the end of an EIR for just annexation or an EIR for just a project versus a specific plan is you get something that Santa Rosa has been incredibly successful with is when you get a specific plan you have to streamline development you streamline infrastructure improvements everybody gets to use the specific plan for streamlining because it's predictable you've come up with your vision you've agreed on your land use you've agreed on your improvements you've agreed on the growth areas so when you are implementing it all that hard work has been done comprehensively up front and so the state has a specific plan you can get to the other side and it is useful for government infrastructure as well as development and then the community that is the most impacted because they are living in this area of change potentially they know what is what and why and they have an opportunity to voice their opinion about it really fast this reminds me how much additional time does it take to kind of pause so just like with Rosalind we would do the specific plan concurrently with the annexation so there is not a we pause and we do this piece now and then we take up the other piece later it's all done at the same time so with Rosalind we were working on that specific plan which took about 18 months during the time that we were also working on the plan for services for annexation doing the outreach to the community on annexation and then the specific plan doing all the environmental analysis the coordination with the county on how we were going to pay for bringing this area in all of that happened at the same time thank you so much vice mayor mcdonnell thank you so much and I appreciate the presentation so a couple of questions that I have well it's more than a couple you should know that about me by now how will this impact the general plan if with this annexation do we add that into our updated general plan that's a great question so the general plan is about two years in a three-year process we are benefitting from a grant so we are on a timeline but we are nearing completion and we should finish the general plan by fall have it certified by fall of this year the general plan focuses on the city the city limits we do that in context but we do that in context at a very high level otherwise our focus is on the interior of our city and all the urban principles that we have for developing our city and I'm blanking on the next part what was the second part of your question how does it impact the general plan being completed I guess is my question does this get added to it it's supplemental the general plan will be adopted and then the EIR will be certified and subsequent smaller annexations can sometimes be found within the scope of it but nothing of the scale because it's outside the city limits needs a lot more detailed work than any general plan can provide thank you just so I'm clear on the rena housing that the county has identified in their plan are you saying that we not only by annexing this we inherit those numbers from the county plus our own numbers so we're adding to our need to comply with what the state is requiring under that or do we we can't double dip the county can't count what we were already doing and by annexing it I just don't want to be clear on what we're planning to do with these annexations so it wouldn't be an automatic that the city would take the additional rena units that the county has identified in that area that would be through an agreement between the city and the county again we did something similar with the Rosland process and that negotiation The city may or may not take from the county would be through that negotiation process with the county as we go through this full process. Great. That was what I wanted to know is if that is part of a negotiation or if that was an automatic. And I appreciate some of the roads. The map wasn't clear to me exactly where on the west side of Highway 101 that included. So any more detail that we can get on those maps so that literally like if we could drive out and see what we're looking at I think would be helpful for my perspective. I really do appreciate in the presentation all of the additions to police and fire and the need for a fire station. I think that that is necessary. Can you bring us back a bit more around what we'll need to do for streets and parks and all of the other buckets that go along with adding in something to the city. So but I'm glad at a high level we are you know identifying these things. I just want to make sure that when we're incorporating anything that it's everything that we are going to be responsible for in the city of Santa Rosa and adding staff appropriately to be able to serve that so that. And I believe it was one of the bullets said that another area doesn't have to then be. You know not have as much service because of that annexation. The grant just to go back on that how do we comply with the timeline of the grant what action would we have to take tonight or or because it's a study session how do we comply with that timeline. I was a great question. Yes I and that deadline is going to come up quick. Well I think we could still move forward with the grant application process. You can actually do a specific plan without annexation. It's the complication there is that we would be doing a specific plan for property that's not in our jurisdiction so obviously the county would be a lead partner. If you do it concurrent with annexation we're the lead agency it's our project our effort and we coordinate with the county. I do think that you still have an opportunity to discuss this commitment particularly the annexation aspect of it through council goal setting and through the budget. Again we don't have any budget allocated towards the rest of it so that would have to take place. But I'm sorry I'm a bit rambling on this but I guess we would want to hear some direction if you're interested in activating concurrently with annexation and specific plan we probably want to hear that tonight. But I'm different to the city attorney. Thank you director Harman I appreciate it. As it's a study session we're looking for feedback and direction from you all in terms of where you would like to head on this matter. The city does have a grants policy that does allow us then at the staff level to move forward with applying for grant funding and then you know kind of moving forward with subsequent approvals that are necessary at the council level to be able to meet those deadlines. This question is something perhaps to bring back at us the next time but you said that the last time we did annexation it was all hands on deck. And that everybody had to sort of shift work to ensure that this was getting done. My question is more around what will we be doing with the rest of the work plan if everybody is working on this now. And how we'll address that for staffing if there's no budget to set this aside. So just just something to kind of keep in mind I don't think you can answer that today because we haven't given you direction on it but it's something that I would like to see brought back to us so we have a better understanding of the work plan. And then a couple more will any of these areas that's annexation be used for only residential zoning or will we be doing mixed use in some commercial as well in some of these areas. South Santa Rosa has all kinds of land uses currently and has potential to have all kinds of land uses in the future. There are some industrial properties. There's high density. There's low density. And then if you do look at the placeholder designations that are our identify our general plan is very there's a lot of retail business service. Obviously all that would have to be rethought that that just kind of shows you how outdated the land use diagram is for for this area. But there's lots of opportunities for a really truly innovative integrated land use pattern circulation pattern that if you look at the general plan map for the rest to say you see that all that's been articulated carefully. And then you see the placeholder designations that South Santa Rosa has been living with. And then just my last question is I know we just went through redistricting for council. If adding this into the city of Santa Rosa changes our numbers of residents that will be representing. What is our timeline that we would have to bring that whole back like study back to us for redistricting council again and will we be on some sort of timeline for that as well. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead and jump in on that one. We do have a set cycle that we typically use for the redistricting process. So I'd like to just look into it in a little bit more detail and come back at the the next discussion on the item to be able to give you a specific answer. If anything with annexation would change that particular cycle. But my sense is we kind of stay on that. But if it is significant enough we would we might need to come back sooner. So thank you for that. Questions may be appropriate for planning or they may be more in the city manager's purview. So no pressure if they don't fall directly within the planning scope of this. But the first one is if we were to go forward at this time with annexation or looking to annex some portion or all portion of this region at this point in time with this divert resources away from long standing council goals of densification urban renewal and transit oriented development. I think to the first part of that question if we were to pursue something like this it is it is a heavy lift but it does fit into a work plan. So there would be room for other ventures that the city can pursue but we're limited right we're limited to funds and we're limited to staffing. In terms of impacts to our pursuits our urban planning pursuits and our focus on downtown and priority development areas. It could be done in it could be done in alignment with those principles if it's done properly. If it's just annexed in then it's it would be challenged to meet the same principles that we apply in the interior of our city. Specifically what I'm wondering is one would this take away from our urban infill in the core of Santa Rosa and the second is would it create additional sprawl. I think those are good things to be concerned about. Again the housing that you might get in the outskirts of the outer areas of our city are going to be lower densities. They're going to be built by different types of developers. It's a different housing model and it's okay. I mean you want a variety of housing in your city but you also want to increase diversity and options for all residents in Santa Rosa. So it's just a it's a careful balancing act to accomplish both. Again I feel like I'm marketing specific plans but you do get a lot out of them because it asks all those questions and at least provides you a path to like make your best attempt. And we do need all kinds of housing and all kinds of different income levels and different densities. That said you know I have seen lots of evidence that the lower the density the higher the cost of the city and if that's incorrect please do correct. Let me know. No we are still studying it but clearly the efficiency of building urban walkable centers and the epitome being our downtown like that is going to be your best economy of scale for infrastructure and access to services for residents that live in those little walkable modes. One of the one of the principles of our general plan update is to not just rely on downtown for that walkable mode but to create them throughout the city. Not sprawled throughout the city but really trying to be strategic with already a neighborhood and sort of building up from what's currently there. And the same opportunity could work in these areas but I admit it's a challenge. The infrastructure is not already there and our general plan update push we are looking for where the infrastructure is already there and just needs land use flexibility or it could be there. South Santa Rosa is a further gap so we need to get it on par if we wanted to pursue it. So what I hear you saying is that while it is possible to develop this area with the principles that this council has historically had it will take a lot of thought planning and financing. Pivoting over to a question maybe for the city manager. This presentation referenced historical challenges in working with the county's planning department. I do see a representative for one supervisor in the audience here. And I'm curious to know how going forward we might strategize around having positive proactive collaborative conversations perhaps elected to elected or staff to staff. Because this is but one of many issues coming before both the city and the county that would be useful in having a strategic approach to our communications. Thank you. I can't specifically speak from elected to elected but I will tell you on a staff level we have a really good working relationship. I think that's why we've gotten as far as we have today with the study session because we do have a great working relationship with the county from a staff to staff level. Okay. Thank you very much. I do think that perhaps we ought to explore elected to elected communications. I can leave it here because most of my council members have asked the nuts and bolts questions about this annexation process and hopefully one day we will have access to more Santa Rosa sponsored nuts and bolts as a result of this. So thank you everybody for a great presentation. Thank you Mayor Rogers. I just wanted to chime in on on one of the questions that council member McDonald had and you know as as we look at at the grants to start this process and and and that or the situation where we have you know all all hands on deck. I would say that you know staffing is going to be difficult with this and challenging quite challenging from a to be able to pay for the all the services that are going to come from this. I'm listening to this go on what I'm seeing is not just on the on the the front end to be able to move the annexation for on the front end. But you also have the back end site we're looking at. We've done some preliminary estimates with our revenue consultants on the sales tax may be available from that. From a staffing standpoint alone we've pretty much eaten that up. So there's other revenues that are going to be there. And as Claire mentioned before we do have to do a full cost benefit of this but I don't think we we we had the appropriate wet blanket thrown on this and I think that's my job to do. So I just kind of giving a perspective of you're looking at long term costs that that the city quite frankly to keep a balanced budget going forward. I just I don't know how we would do that. Obviously there would be negotiation with the county. But but at this point I'm I'm definitely worried about our ability to keep a balanced budget going through and taking this level of work on to do that. So just for that. This is a follow up on that Alan. Are you saying that you've done a fiscal analysis on a cost benefit so that we would understand the revenue on the taxes that we might be able to receive. And if it's mixed use meaning we potentially can have commercial and residential. Could you figure that out in a quick study or maybe not so quick but actually figure out how much could be driven from revenue from that as well. Right. It wouldn't be quick. What we were able to do is we used our sales tax consultant we gave the the GIS coordinates of what the options would be. They ran an analysis at a high level and we we haven't even vetted those yet. But it gave us some preliminary numbers from sales tax which which I believe would be the largest source of revenue that we're going to have. There's a whole bunch of different revenues that would that that would be affected. But that's our largest. And so I figured we start there and start looking we you know we're still trying to develop all of the staff costs would go there. So there's a lot of work that needs to to go forward on that cost benefit analysis. But where we are right now just seeing that it just seems to where we're we're more loaded up on the cost going going forward. But also just to have the resources to be able to to go through and I don't want to speak for for Claire but I know that they have a full work work plan. So if you're looking at at pulling people off to be able to work on this or to add folks in coming in those are upfront costs that I'm not sure how we would pay for them unless they were grant funded. But but those often have strings attached to them as well. Especially in terms of timing council member staff message received loud and clear with respect to the costs and the staff time on these projects. I do I do confess that I look at the development potential of especially that top Creek parcel and and want to follow up with some council member Rogers questions with respect to the D. U. C. So the the continued the issue of continuous D. U. C.'s and S. B. two four four. Is that the is that the primary or the only reason that we're we're putting together the Todd Creek in the moreland moreland areas. No no that's just one one aspect to that. Like I noted we're looking for time and cost efficiencies and anytime you go through a city initiated annexation process is going to take at least three years. So you could do them consecutively over time. I mean like over the life of Santa Rosa or you could look at doing them concurrently but the the efficiency of broadening the boundaries. You can broaden the boundaries in the same amount of time generally understood. But yes the D. U. C. that contiguous factor through that state law that's something we'll have to look at. So it may be that we don't even have a choice. Right. It's not an efficiency thing. It's illegal. It sounds like there might be more information coming on that soon. I'm curious about that. I'm actually sticking with that for a moment when when we annex Roseland did we annex all continuous D. U. C.'s at the same time. So Roseland was an island completely surrounded by the city and actually it was composed of four islands I think four or five. Anyway it was the main Roseland Island which was the largest and then we had a couple several small islands on the fringe of that. But we took the entire the entirety of those islands. So there was no unincorporated areas that were not annexed that were adjacent to it. Got it. Thank you for that. And final question for me and this gets back to this gets this gets back to the cost and staff time because that's obviously an enormous consideration. Our in theory our developers able to help with with costs and with consulting Tom. We're paying for E. I. R. is that kind of thing. Yeah normally if like the example I gave earlier the applicant team that came in with their development proposal. There's a path for an applicant to to come in and initiate their own annexation so the city doesn't want to initiate an annexation process. Applicants can and we respond by explaining what the path is. Ultimately they'll have to address that D. U. C. issue in their in the analysis in the and in the processing of a of a even an applicant driven annexation for this area. But that's how you get to the analysis is either it's city initiated and we're allocating restaffing and funding resources for us to do that analysis. Because we want to annex or an applicant is doing that and they're paying for their process and based on the scope of what they're proposing. Thank you. Yes. If I could just real quick I wanted to come back to the question that Vice Mayor McDonald had about the the grant. I just wanted to be clear so we do have a deadline for this current grant process of the end of February. But I want to be clear that this is not the only opportunity for a grant through MTC a bag for these PDAs and a specific plan. That same grant process is how we did the update to the downtown specific plan how we did the Roseland specific plan. The North Santa Rosa stationary specific plan and even our original downtown plan. So there is a regular opportunities for these plan development specific plan grants through a bag MTC. I will say that when we talk to staff at MTC a bag they did mention that this round will be less competitive than perhaps the next round. But I just wanted to make that clear. I really appreciate that. Thank you. Council Member o Krapke. Yeah, just to follow up. Can you go over the process of what it would take to designate an area plan development area as relates to what expanding our plan development area that exists currently on South Santa Rosa Avenue to try to incorporate everything. What kind of do you discuss that process. Yeah, the process is primarily through MTC a bags. The city would put together a proposal identifying a boundary for the plan development area. So in this instance, we would look at expanding our existing South Santa Rosa Avenue PDA and a bag MTC has certain criteria for those PDAs and how closely you have to be to transit and walk ability to services, those types of things. So we would need to look at their requirements for PDAs and the boundaries and then we would propose a boundary that would then go to MTC a bag for their approval. Okay, any other questions from Council. Okay, I have just a few questions. The first would be applying for the grant, whether it's a cycle or a different cycle, what it would be the commitment from the city if we were to receive that grant. The financial commitment or time commitment. What would be like if we apply for a grant, what are we telling them that we're going to do like what is the commitment from the city. So we would have a deadline in which we have to complete the grant so we would have certain deliverables that would have to be provided in a certain amount of time and that would all be spelled out in the grant application and our scoping process. You know, the city has traditionally with other similar grants that we have done exceeded or done it faster than what is required by the grant. I believe that the grant requirement is to complete the specific plan within 36 months. And in the past, it's taken us about on average about 18 months to complete these types of plans. Thank you. And a comment was made that we were not done with Rosalind yet. What is the timeframe that we can say we are complete with Rosalind and we are just at a maintenance. Phase. Yeah, I don't have an answer of when we'll be done. Again, looking back at those principles, it's just evening and create an equitable place for all residents of Santa Rosa, whether you're newly added to the city or you've been here for your whole life. So I can't answer that question specifically about when that occurs. That's the that's the aspiration. And so we're just always mindful when you take in an unincorporated community, you're committed. So when the comment was made, we are not done yet. Then what in addition do we need to complete? Yeah, again, it's down to parks, streets, access to water, access to schools and healthy food and all of that. So that's the measurement of service that the city provides its residents. And one of the one of the principles was that all new new residents would have equal equitable access to those things. So sidewalks and street lights and pavements that aren't cracked. Those are our aspirations for our current residents and the principles set an expectation that new residents would get to that point as well. And it's not uncommon for unincorporated areas to have their two county standards, right? So they're not to city standards. City standards are higher in all levels. And then we rely on the county for like the social support. But the physical standards are higher is urban living. And so that's what we're talking about that gap is that's what we're going to complete over time. Thank you. If I may invite the gentleman from Lafko up and if any of the council members have questions specifically for him, because I don't think we would he would be able to answer all the questions in three minutes. Then I think now is a good time to do that before we go to public comment. And if I could just remind you, you can raise the podium up because you do have to speak right into the microphone in order for us to hear you and it be recorded correctly. Thank you. Good afternoon, Madam Mayor, members of the council, I'm Mark Brantford, the executive officer of Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission. I'll just run through some items that I think address most of your questions. Lafko has not identified any disadvantaged unincorporated communities that are proximate to the city of Santa Rosa. However, we recognize that we need to use a more granular geographic analysis to determine if that's truly so. I'm going before the commission next Wednesday at their regular meeting hoping for authorization to do a request for proposals to bring a consultant on. That would answer the question of whether there is one disadvantaged unincorporated community in southern Santa Rosa or two or more. And I expect that process will take seven to nine months to get that answer. The 2010 annexation area, if you pursue that, we need to amend the city's sphere of influence. And in order to do that, we need to conduct what's called a municipal service review. I would like to press the city to ask for us to go through that process. I will advocate to the commission that we do that at our cost rather than at the city's cost. We need to know what areas you would like to have added to your sphere. I assume that those are all the areas within your urban growth boundary, but that's a discussion for you or a determination for you to make. I would be remiss in not bringing your attention to the two mobile home parks. We have determined that there are over 300 registered voters living in those two parks. That would constitute a pretty serious community of interest who could potentially protest an annexation. So in terms of doing community outreach, I think it would be incredibly important to reach out to those two particular areas. And lastly, I've been promoting this for 10 years now. We would love to see the city address the other unincorporated islands within the city. And I'd be happy to come back and discuss with you the process for doing that. Just so you know, you can simply apply for annexation of those areas, and there is no protest proceeding in order to annex those territories. Happy to address any other questions you might have. Are there any other questions from, yes, Council Member Rogers? Thank you so much, Mr. Banford. Thank you so much for being here. On your last point, I assume that the unincorporated urban pockets, the reason there's no protest vote is because they're fully surrounded. Yeah, there is a provision in our law that governs LAFCO that says LAFCO will approve and there is no protest proceeding for island annexation. So territories that are completely surrounded by a city or special district. Okay. And then for the analysis that you're asking LAFCO for on Wednesday, has there been any coordination between LAFCO, the city, the county on that request? No, there has not. And I will admit to when that law was passed, we looked at census tract data at LAFCO, identified seven disadvantaged unincorporated communities in the county, none of which were approximate to cities. We recognize that using the census tract is to gross a measure for determining those areas. And that is why we're going asking the Commission to authorize a study to look at that in a more granular fashion. Okay. You cited probably about seven months to go through that process. So I'll kick it back to the director. If that is initiated, does that change our calculus at all in terms of timing or resource allocation that the city might be looking at for this process? And granted, it might be way different depending on what that analysis finds. Yeah, I mean, it is a question mark how they will interplay together. Obviously, if you look at the boundaries that includes all of South Santa Rosa, then you have less area of impact of a different determination from LAFCO about what's a duck or how it applies. If it's more narrowly focused, like, for example, the developer's property, we will find out together because we are in new territory with this applying the state law based on more current information. So we will probably be going through it concurrently should they apply tomorrow. All right, I appreciate that. So it sounds like we'll find out if it looks like a duck, if it is a duck. Seeing no additional questions, thank you very much for your willingness to answer our questions. Madam City Clerk, can we please go into public comment? Thank you. We're not taking public comments for item 3.1. If you wish to make a comment in person and have not provided your name to the administrator at the top of the chamber, you can make your way to the podium. If you're participating via Zoom, please raise your hand. If you're dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand and you will have three minutes for your comment and a countdown timer alert at the conclusion of that period. The first speaker will be, make sure I have his name, Jeffrey Janik. Hello, my name is Jeffrey Janik and I live in the unincorporated areas that would be annexed into the city. And we would really like the city services. The county is really limiting on what I'm allowed to do with my property. My parents are older and I'd like to put a grant unit on the property and there's plenty of room, but the zoning won't allow for that in any way. And so the city would help in that area for more housing. And I've also had a couple issues with trespassers and the sheriff's department, they helped, but they, I see more city cops in the area, but they're not allowed to come on our property because it's county. So it doesn't seem dealt with as good as it would be done if it was the Santa Rosa police department, I believe. And also we have a septic system and the city sewer is in the neighborhood, because we're on the county, they are not allowed to hook us up. So I really think it would help the neighborhood become a nicer place and it would be very beneficial to annex it into the city. I think that's all I have to say. Okay, the next speaker is Brandon Roy, followed by Dwayne DeWitt. Good afternoon, I'm Brandon Roy. I own the property at 404 and 406 Bellevue Avenue at the corner of Bellevue and Juniper. I'd like to ask the quick question, just to look at that map again as to what street is on the map, because I think you said it was done at the line, but I believe it's really Juniper that you're focusing to annex on, right? So most of you might know that property at 404 Bellevue has the big burn house. That's our property now. We've torn it all down, it's roughly seven acres. And we brought the property with the intention of making it a multi-unit property, and we want to put 20 or 30 units on the property, but being in county, we can't do that. So I know we're not currently in, I think you said phase one and phase two to be annexed, but could we add that property to phase one or phase two to get it done sooner to make it city property and then we can put multi-units on the property. We'd like to help City of Santa Rosa and add to additional housing to the area, and I think we could really be beneficial to Santa Rosa to do that. Okay? Thank you. Okay, the next speaker is Dwayne DeWitt, followed by Ken McNabb. Hello, my name is Dwayne DeWitt. I'm from Roseland. I believe you should go for option two. I believe you don't have to worry about the support of annexation, as you've seen by these people speaking here, whereas with Roseland, it was quite contentious. Over 30 years ago, the Southwest Area Plan came forward. Most people didn't want to be in the City of Santa Rosa. A county island was formed. That's basically taught in planning schools throughout the nation as one of the examples of poor planning. They did not leave county islands, so please end all the county islands in the city. Go for option two. Along with that, 30 years ago when the Southwest Area Plan was being drawn up, the City of Santa Rosa was in discussions with county employees. The county had a South Santa Rosa services report. You have to remember the dynamics of staff back at that time. The city manager didn't get along with the county supervisor. It was just adversity, whereas now you have everybody getting on the same page. I believe you'll be able to go for these grants with MTC. You should go after them right now. Start now. Don't wait. Get as many as you can. The whole idea, I think, on this situation is that to answer Mr. Rogers' question earlier, the idea of that 210 and why that came forward was because there was a staunch environmentalist back in the 90s and they had some environmental groups that didn't want to see urban sprawl come out from downtown Santa Rosa so the urban growth boundaries were coming forward. They pushed to make sure that the people out further to the south wouldn't be coming in to get the urban sprawl going. That's all behind us now. Go ahead and sprawl. Get going. Do what you've got to do to get the housing. If you have all of the islands ended and you're in a process in which you're all under one jurisdiction, you're not going to find the same dynamic that you had with the Rosan-specific plan with an organized block of opponents that caused contention. You're actually going to have support in which people are moving forward to get it done and you won't have to spend the extra money that you had to spend with the staffing bringing in that assistant city manager, Mr. Regalia, who was at the end of his employment contract and was at the highest pay levels. Now you can use other people, not have to spend that much money. So look at this like it's a win-win all the way around. Annex them all, get them all in, everybody plays together and then I know you at the city council will still try to drive the housing downtown because you keep saying resiliency, sustainability. Yeah, we believe in it. So that's where your housing goes downtown and then you mix it as you go out further. Thank you. Okay, our next speaker will be Ken McNabb, followed by Maggie Luce. Thank you. Good afternoon, Mayor Rogers, council members. Ken McNabb, representing ownership. Can you speak into the mic? Thank you. Can you hear me? Any better now? Much better. Thank you. Ken McNabb, representing ownership in the 2010 area. First, I just want to thank the council and staff for putting this study session together. We're very appreciative of it and I think the council is asking really good questions and all the right questions. I've been impressed with this discussion. The city's general plans have contemplated annexation of the 2010 area since the 1990s. And now 13 years after the year 2010 has passed, we believe that it is time to move forward with annexation of this area. As you know, we're facing an unprecedented housing crisis with the state legislature imposing by-bite mandates on cities and cities taking ever-increasing creativity or creative measures to address a removal of constraints. If the purpose of this session is to identify housing opportunities or one of the purposes, there is no greater opportunity than the 2010 area. The 2010 area will generate more housing units than any other incorporated area within the UGB. And these are housing units not needed necessarily for your sixth housing element cycle. By the time we get through this annexation process and entitlements, these are housing units that are really going to be contributing towards your seventh and eighth cycle housing elements. The 2010 area is not as complex as some of the developed areas being considered. The majority of acreage in the 2010 area is in larger properties owned by relatively few property owners. You do not have the same challenges that you do with some other areas. There are no needed infrastructure repairs or gaps within the 2010 area that will require substantial investment by the city. And in fact, infrastructure needed to serve new development within the 2010 area is going to be largely paid for by the developer. There will spin some discussions of potential revenues, our back of the napkin calculations. We estimate that new development in the 2010 area will generate over $100 million, yes, $100 million in development impact fees. That is revenue that can be used by the city to improve areas in need outside of the 2010 area. New development in the 2010 area will also increase property tax revenue and create opportunities to leverage that revenue through various financing tools. In summary, I see I'm running out of time here. 2010 area, more housing, less cost, greater revenue, less complexity in moving forward. For these reasons, we request that the council prioritize and proceed with annexation of the 2010 area. Thank you. Next speaker is Maggie Luce. Good afternoon, council members. I'm Maggie Luce. I'm a policy analyst with the county administrator's office, working closely with deputy county administrator Crystal Kerry Harrow. We've been working with the city team on initial conversations as well as with our ad hoc of board of supervisors comprised of chair Corsi and supervisor Corrin, and they both wanted to be here today but are at the county board of supervisors meeting. So I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm here if you have questions and just wanted to express the county's interest in continuing conversations on exploring this annexation. Thanks. Okay, if there's anyone else in the chamber wishing to make a comment, you can make your way to the podium. I'm not seeing anybody make their way to the podium. Madam host, do we have any hands raised in Zoom? We do not have any hands raised in Zoom, nor do we have any recorded voicemails. Thank you. Director Hartman, can we please get the slide up for the direction that you're seeking and if there's anything else you would like to tell us before we start to give that direction? All right, I put the recommendation slide up just a reminder of what we're doing. So it's a study session. You can simply just receive this information and that is really could be the extent of it. But if you want to proceed with work forward, then that will involve our resources ourselves to put things together and respond to what you heard today and directions you want to go, then we would need that direction tonight so that we know what we're working on. But again, the recommendation from staff is to let this information, is a lot of information, let it sit and put it in context with your council goals. Thank you. Council Member Staff. I have a request for a specific action at this time. Thank you. Council Member Rogers. Thank you, Mayor, and I want to thank all of the team that's been putting in the work on this. For me, it will come down to a conversation around resources and availability. I think that it is certainly worth us doing our due diligence to better understand what that would take because the opportunity is too good for us to pass up if there's a way for us to make it work. So even if that means bringing some of this initial information around staffing and budget to our goal setting to talk about it within the context of everything we're trying to achieve as a city, I think that that's the minimum of what we could or should be doing. This is, as we've talked about, within the urban growth boundary. It's a huge opportunity for us to provide much needed housing for folks. And I think that when we talk about more land in particular, it's a moral imperative that we have talked about, that the economics of it might not make sense now, but that's largely because of decisions that have been made over the last 50 years, not just because it doesn't pencil at the moment. So I'd be more interested in hearing some of that. I think I appreciate Mr. Bramford being here to answer some questions. I do think that we need to know a little bit more about the designation that LAFCO is going to make around if it's a duck. I would hate to run a foul of state law. There's your joke, Council Member. And I think that that will give us a better outline for what the timeline looks like. I know that people are anxious to get the projects built and anything that we can do that is concurrent to expedite the process while still providing the same level of certainty and planning I think will always be appreciated. So for me, it's make sure that we keep this moving, make sure that we get to goal setting with an opportunity and so that we don't lose an opportunity to build housing. And then I'm going to throw in, because staff didn't mention it as a request, but Mr. Bramford hit us with a sledgehammer of a hint. I think we also should be asking LAFCO about the municipal services and spheres of influence conversation for the area if that is what we're going to be moving forward with. Council Member Fleming. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you staff for all of your work, Mr. Bramford, as well as everybody's made the time to come here today for this discussion. I think that this discussion gets to the core of what we're about as a city, which is providing high quality services in a way that is equitable and sustainable. And what we find is that we can't do everything at once, but that at the same time we can't put things off just because they're difficult or challenging. To that end, I'm really interested in hearing more information about this, having it come back as part of a holistic conversation at goal setting and allowing the council to have some time to process this information and to integrate it as each council member sees fit into the context of a full budget discussion, as well as a greater understanding of what staff constraints are. So at this point in time, I'm not going to be giving direction on moving forward or not moving forward, but just essentially kick the can down the road and suggest that we all consider it at goal setting. Thank you, Council Member Okrepke. Yeah, I agree with a lot of what my fellow council members have said already. For me, I'm a little bit more aggressive, I guess I would say, with, as you stated, a short window for the grant and your comment that this would be probably a less competitive grant. I personally would like to see you apply for that grant just because of that. And then, yeah, I agree, bring this back to goal setting with as much of a complete cost benefit analysis, because I do agree, while this may cost a lot up front, this is an investment, this isn't just a transaction, it's an investment. And I'd like to see all of that metered out. I mean, we've received public comment from everybody that wants to add an ADU to hundreds of units. And so I think there's a vast interest among the community, the residents that South Santa Rosa move forward. But I would like to see the cost benefit analysis and how that would play out going forward. Council Member Alvarez. Thank you. For me, I'm a product of annexation. And I want to thank you, Claire, for really putting out what needs to be done, whether it's just sidewalks, whether it's parks, whether it's infrastructure. I think it's like an automobile. The work is never done, right? But nonetheless, though, we're speaking of people and it goes way beyond the lift that's before us. We're speaking of hope to an area. We're speaking of inclusiveness. Really, for our residents of Maryland who believe they're Santa Rosans to actually be Santa Rosans. And this is an experience that I had as a person from Roseland. So for me, I definitely do want to keep to you the conversation forward. It sounds like we have the interest from our county partners and we have goals setting ahead of us. So there's no reason to stop now. I would like to see cost estimates as well as potential revenue. And I'll probably remind you of the experience of many of staff during the annexation of Roseland when the tasks seem unsurmountable, and yet here we are. And I'm hoping that this is history being repeated, but with the knowledge of what worked and what didn't for Roseland, moving forward with Moreland. Thank you. Vice Mayor McDonald. Thank you. I do want to say thank you so much for being able to answer all of our questions and for the great presentation today and for everybody who's here to give us even more education on how this annexation process works, especially for those that are new to this. I'm a little bit more ready, I think, to say we should be moving forward for sure on option one. I'm comfortable with that because this has been something specifically with the 2010 plan that has been talked about for years and years and years. So while I appreciate the cost-benefit analysis as we maybe move forward with option two, while I appreciate knowing all the numbers, I do think that there is a sense of urgency and more around the need for housing and to start moving forward with the process. So if it comes back to goal-setting, I guess I would ask that we have the opportunity to really move forward on action. So typically I'm the one that wants all the data and all the risk and everything that can go through it, but it feels to me specifically in these areas that there's been a lot of conversations about this for a very long time. But because we tend to be new and have an overturn, you're constantly having to tell all of us what we've done 20 years ago. So I would like to know, kind of, what's the best plan for us to go? Where should we start? But I'm pretty comfortable for sure with option one, but have some questions more until we get the cost-benefit analysis around adding in all the other unincorporated areas in islands in the city of Santa Rosa, just so we know when it comes to specifically public safety, how we're going to maintain the parks, what we're inheriting specifically on that. And then also what we're going to be able to go back and negotiate with the county as far as what we take in from doing this is something that I will want to know as that comes forward for final review from us. But other than that, I'm pretty comfortable with moving towards annexation. I think it's necessary. And we only have so many spaces within what we have right now. So I am comfortable moving forward with this. Thank you. And my comment would be, you know, I would love to say let's just jump in and do it, but I want to be responsible and I want to be strategic in doing so. So with that, I think we really do need to go through our goal setting and see what our goals are because those are our priorities. And we want to make sure that if we actually start this process or continue with this process that we have the staff and the resources to do so. So Director Hartman, did you receive the direction? Yes. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you staff very much for this presentation and your time. It is 3.59. So we will take a minute stretch break and we will get back to our regular meeting. We are experiencing some technical difficulties, but we will return momentarily. Thank you. If council members can return to their seats, we will begin the meeting. Seeing that we have a quorum, Madam City Clerk, can you please take the role? Yes. Thank you, Mayor. Council Member O'Crepkey. Here. Council Member Stapp. Here. Council Member Rogers. Thank you. Council Member Fleming. Here. Council Member Alvarez. Present. Vice Mayor McDonald. Here. Mayor Rogers. Present. Let the record show that all council members are present. We will now move to item 5, report on our closed session and study session. Thank you, Mayor Rogers. Council did meet today in closed session on one item. That was item 2.1. Item 2.1 was a conference with our real property negotiator. Had to do with the city leasing property located at 983 Sonoma Avenue between the city and the housing authority. Council provided direction to staff and no final action was taken. Thank you. We have no proclamations today. No staff briefings. City Manager and City Attorney, would you like to give any reports? Yes. Thank you. So our in response mental health support team has officially been in operation for one year. In that time in response was dispatched to 2,893 calls. Successfully diverting 1,762 law enforcement and 677 EMS calls. So I look forward to continue expanding that operation in 2023. And the City of Santa Rosa Public Art Program is pleased to announce the installation of Unum by Blessing Hancock in Old Courthouse Square. The public is invited to attend a dedication ceremony on Thursday, January the 26th from 5 to 6. The music will include some music and some light refreshments. More information is available about the project at srcity.org backslasharts. And on January the 18th, Fire Captain Mark Jackson and Police Officer Efren Jalil received the 2023 Lee Averson Public Safety Award from the Santa Rosa Rotary Club. So we want to give a special congratulations to our public safety team. Captain Jackson was nominated for his leadership and dedication to the fire department but also for his significant contributions to operations training and fleet services. Officer Jalil was honored for responding to a call of a six-year-old child who was not breathing and after nearly drowning in a pool, Officer Jalil provided life-saving efforts and the child was transported to a local hospital and fully recovered. So, shout out to the Public Safety Department, Police and Fire and thank you to the Santa Rosa Rotary Club for these nominations and the recipients. Thank you. Thank you Mayor Rogers in terms of a city attorney's report. Nothing in general to report. I would just like to briefly direct the council's attention to this month's reports of settlements and active litigation. There's no settlements over $50,000 to report at this time prior report relative to the report you received at the end of last year. There are 27 cases total on your list instead of 25. That includes two new in the personal injury, dangerous condition category, one new in general litigation and then there was a duplicate that we eliminated from the prior report. But otherwise, statuses have not changed in a dramatic way but just wanted to give you that brief update. Thank you. Thank you. Madam City Clerk, can you please facilitate public comment? Yes, we are now taking public comment on item eight, city manager, city attorney's report. If you are in the council chamber and wish to make a public comment, please make your way to the podium. I'm not seeing anyone make their way to the podium. Zoom host, do we have any hands raised for item eight? It does not appear that we have any Zoom hands raised. And we have no public, no recorded comments for this item either. Thank you. Moving on to item nine, do we have any statements of abstention from council members? Yes, council member Krepke. Yes, I'll be abstaining from 15.1 and 15.2 as I already voted on those as a member of the planning commission. Thank you. Item 10, mayor and council members reports. Are there any council members that would like to provide report today? Council member Statt. Just a quick note to say, I was grateful for the chance to attend the new council members conference in Sacramento with some of my colleagues up here last week. And then in addition, I had the chance to attend the Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital neighborhood meeting last night where we talked about issues related to helicopter noise and pollution in that area. And then finally, two appointments or one reappointment and one new appointment to announce. I'd like to reappoint Dan Galvin to the board of public utilities. Dan has graciously agreed to serve again. And then a new appointment, Ethan Cosgrove to the measure H oversight committee. Thank you. Thank you. Council member Rogers. Thank you so much, mayor. I did also want to thank staff for helping coordinate and really good presentations at the mayors and council members meeting up in Sacramento. I enjoyed seeing our new colleagues in particular as well as our friends from around the county and having good conversations with them. I did want to let the council know and thank our federal lobbyist team who have been very integrated in National League of Cities as well as our own staff here. I was grateful to be appointed by the president of the National League of Cities on Friday to the National League's Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee. We obviously have occupied a big space in that over the last five years in particular. I talk about resiliency and climate change and it'll be a great opportunity for us to bring Santa Rosa's voice to discussions and certainly help get our foot in the door hopefully on some of our Environmental Protection Agency funding requests and grant opportunities. Council member Fleming. Thank you. And while I heard we were quite well represented in Sacramento last week at League of Cities I was lucky enough to get to attend the one-year anniversary of InResponse and I want to thank Fire, Police and all of our staff who've worked so hard to make this program an undoubtedly an amazing success. I also want to thank Nancy Wang with the Redwood Empire Chinese Association for a wonderful celebration of Chinese culture for the Lunar New Year. It was really a wonderful experience and my daughter got a heck of a lot out of it and she said, you know, if you weren't there be there be square and so I see a bunch of squares. With that I'd like to make some additional appointments. I'll be temporarily appointing Melanie Jones Carter to Art in Public Places. She's worked tirelessly on the Unum installation and while she is interested and will be serving on Design Review Board we cannot have somebody appointed to two boards at one time so we will have a short-term vacancy from District Four on Design Review Board but she'll be more needed for this next couple of weeks on Art in Public Places so staff can expect to see her there for the next couple of weeks and then on to Design Review Board and then I'll make an Art in Public Places appointment in a couple of weeks. For Community Advisory Board at large I'll be appointing Jeremy Newton a new member of the Junior College community and then for Cultural Heritage Board I'll be appointing Patrick Carney. Thank you very much. Councilman Alvarez. Thank you, Mayor. First of all I'll appoint Mr. Adam Sharon to the Design Review Board. I also want to let folks that we had a great meeting in South Park want to thank Annette Arnold for putting that together. She's really spearheaded what it means to be community engaged for the Southwest area something that we didn't have much of as we just became part of the City of Santa Rosa so I really want to applaud her efforts to organizing her community and our community for the better of the whole. Also great time at the League of California City getting to know each and every one of my colleagues and it was really great to connect at a personal level and understand that we are here to serve our City of Santa Rosa and we are the United Front. On that note if you ever did get the chance though please ask my fellow Councilman Okrepke about Lulu. I assure you it's a great time. Thank you. Thank you. Vice Mayor McDonald. Thank you so much for that Mayor. I apologize I was looking for a couple other names that I forgot at home so my first appointment just to reappoint Kristen Kiefer for the Arts in the Public Place she'll be staying in that role as my appointee and then I have a few others that I'd like to do tonight and I like to take this opportunity to give you a little background on each of the people that I'll be appointing but I have Michael Cook who I'll be appointing to the Design Review Board he's an experienced landscape architect and Michael's provided his design experience in a wide range of clients that includes private and public sector in the downtown area so he has a deep breath and background around architect and design review so I'll be appointing him I have Robin Barthelot who will be appointed to the Board of Public Utilities she grew up in Sonoma County and graduated from Santa Rosa High School before joining the Sonoma County Farm Bureau in 2022 Robin worked at North Coast Builders Exchange for 13 years and has worked in the county on the workforce development and the director of as the North Bay Construction Corp at the Farm Bureau Robin manages several regulatory compliance programs specifically around water quality and supply so I think she'll be an excellent addition to the BPU I will be appointing David Chen to the Community Advisory Board as my appointment he is currently a owner and the president of a small business and works with W Real Estate he is a member of the Santa Rosa Chinese Christian Church and is in the Skyhawk community and has been actively involved in the Skyhawk community as well him and his wife have two adult children and he has one grandchild and my last appointment is Heidi Klein she will be appointed to the Cultural Heritage Board and she's a second generation Oakmonter her parents live there as well and one of the things she enjoys doing when she tours people through Oakmon is to tell them about the history of Sonoma County and pointing out historical facts about where we live she's highly committed to ensuring that our historical buildings and our landscape and historical landmarks are kept in pristine conditions so with those appointments tonight I have a few more that I'll be making next week or two weeks, thanks thank you alright and for my report I will be assigning subcommittees to our council members first being the Board of Public Utilities liaison that will be Councilman Alvarez and Rogers and I have a copy of this for each of you if you can't jot it all down also Economic Development Subcommittee will be chaired by Councilmember Rogers but both Alvarez and Okrepke will also serve on that subcommittee Violence Prevention Partnership both Steering and Policy will be chaired by Vice Mayor McDonald and supported by Councilmember Stapp Long-term Financial Policy and Audit Subcommittee will be chaired by myself and supported by Councilmember Stapp and Vice Mayor McDonald Open Government and Community Engagement will be chaired by Councilmember Alvarez and supported by Councilmember Okrepke and Fleming Climate Action Subcommittee will be chaired by Councilmember Rogers and supported by myself and Councilmember Fleming and lastly Public Safety Subcommittee will be chaired by Councilmember Alvarez and supported by Councilmember Okrepke and I would like to say that we will be looking at our subcommittees in our goal setting to make sure that they align and that we're strategic about how we implement our goals so they may change in the future or they may stay the same but I just wanted to let everyone know that this is what they are for now alright and Madam City Clerk can you please facilitate public comment yes if you wish to make public comment on item 10 Mayor and City Councilmember's report please make your way to the podium Hello my name is Duane DeWitt I'm from Roseland congratulations to the people who've just been appointed but at the same time there's an old model that really helps to make government more dynamic and that's called out with the old and in with the new we've done that with an election and have some new members here one of the things is we have so many old folks on boards and commissions not in the sense of their age perhaps but in the sense of the length that they've been there I've known some people who've been there the entire time I've been coming to council meetings 30 years I think it's really important to get new folks in and I hope that as you folks here continued picks for people to volunteer to serve on these boards and commissions you'll get people who are young and people of color you'll get females you'll get people who basically won't follow the same old story day in day out that we've been facing here in Santa Rosa most of my life let's get something new going then we might get that resiliency sustainability you speak of and that downtown urban density that infill housing that we're all supposed to be striving for but we never seem to get many decades into this thank you I'm not seeing anyone else make their way to the podium Zoom host do you have anyone who has their hand raised in zoom I see one hand raised but his hand's been raised for a while I don't know if it's on this item but I will call Michael Lippelt can you hear me yes we can oh thank you yes I was going to make a comment at the initial public comments but when I raised my hand apparently you didn't get it didn't register so I'm so thankful that I can make my comments now hello Major Mayor Rogers and council members my name is Michael Pelt I'm a Santa Rosa resident and I'm a passionate volunteer with likeable Santa Rosa as you may know in December Santa Rosa was chosen as one of the nine U.S. cities for a grant that will provide Santa Rosa with $50,000 of free technical assistance over the next six months to accelerate our active transportation infrastructure that grant work begins this coming Thursday January 26 when partners from city thread a non-profit micro mobility consultancy will be in Santa Rosa for their first initial site visit we want to express our thanks especially to council member Chris Rogers and city staff especially Rob Sprinkle for helping secure this grant we also want to thank those of you who responded to our invitations to meet with city thread this Thursday if you would like to participate but are not available this Thursday there are other ways you can plug in in the coming weeks please contact us if you'd like to hear more finally let me add that we believe active transportation planning should be orchestrated in concert with many other issues on the agenda tonight including housing as well as other city priorities including equity, climate economic development and more we look forward to working with the city to leverage this important work to improve Santa Rosa for all residents thank you from the friends and volunteers of Michael Santa Rosa there are no more hands raised on zoom and we do not have any recorded public comment for this item thank you moving on to item 10.2 specifically 10.2 .1 mayor's appointments to county and regional and state positions two seconds alright that works we will be I will be recommending appointments for two year more board and commission appointments these appointments are recommended by the mayor and the council has to approve the appointments so I will read all of the appointments initially we will have public comment and then council will be able to approve the appointments in addition to so that would be the JPA appointments in addition to the regional appointments I will also make recommendations and council will approve so now we will look to our city clerk to take public comment on this item taking public comment on item 10.2 council liaison regional appointments if you would like to make a comment please make your way to the podium we have one person yes hello my name is Ricardo Loa can you please speak right into the microphone please so we can hear you yes hello my name is Ricardo and I'm still here I kind of missed my section but it was 3.1 with the urban growth opportunities and I feel like being a part of this community for so long I have first hand like seeing the impact has been being in a rural area instead of a city district and that would include just really bad roads and it also included just like how recently just more shootings and it's been like I feel like it's been through the cause of just lack of police patrol and I feel like with lack of representation and just unappealing economic impact this community has been faced with like from being part of Moreland seeing all that it's just really a pain to even settle there for like new generations that can lead with examples and really help the community thrive you know economically at the school and give LC Island better reputation and just give it a more appealing name for people all around to come and just give everyone more confidence in the area and the school system because right now it's really lacking like programs such as Pioneer among government that are really not that far but have such such reputation just for having like medical programs we somehow just lack that you know and it's strange we used to have many programs in the area and for wood shop but it's the teachers just left they didn't see there would be a bright future in the school and they left and I truly believe that's because in a rural area and not in an appealing place where there is funding and just sidewalks for kids to be on and be comfortable with you know they would have like regular maintenance and so it was my first time here but I really like to have this kind of really have our little islands and acts because it just makes sense to we're basically a part of the city we've been a part of it most of the houses in more than look suburban but they just been just swept into the rug and left to just settle in with all the other all the other all the other like negative factors in the area and I believe we can change that with annexing more land and I remember there's roles that still haven't been paid which is still very strange to me there's so much money going around so much relief and there still hasn't been nothing really done and yeah I appreciate your time I'm not seeing anyone else make their way to the podium I don't see any hands raised in zoom nor do we have any recorded public comment for this item thank you so we will start with our council

committee this item requires a two step process for a two step process to add it on to the agenda so i'm going to ask madam assistant city attorney to walk us through that process thank you mayor rogers you're correct this item did not appear on the city's preliminary agenda so as a result prior to consideration of the item we need the council by motion to find good cause to consider the item notwithstanding the fact that the item did not appear on the preliminary agenda in making a finding of good cause is the fact that the deadline for submission of the letters of interest from the various jurisdictions was february 13 and the city did not receive the letters of interest until the afternoon or sorry of january 13 which was after the publication of the preliminary agenda in addition the mayors and councilmembers meeting to make the appointments will be on february 9 and council does not currently have another meeting scheduled between now and then so staff would recommend that the council by motion find good cause to hear this item notwithstanding the fact that it did not appear on the preliminary agenda thank you thank you madam city clerk can we please take

actually missed one of these where we didn't have it agendized and then the mayor at the time Mr. Corsi could not weigh in in favor of his councilmembers who were seeking positions and we actually had

Thank you Madam City Clerk bringing it back to council. Are there any questions? Vice Mayor McDonald. I have a question on item 12.2 and then I'd like to pull item 12.7 under 12.2. My question is just simply do they actually write grants on our behalf or are they managing the grant to make sure that we are completing the application process properly as well as meeting all of our deadlines on reporting periods. I'm just curious what this particular contracts for. I'm happy to just jump in briefly on this one. I think it is a mix of kind of grant support and then some general written assistance as well more broadly but I know staff will I can promote more detailed explanation as we can promote Yuri Kozlin please. Yes can you please repeat the question? Yes my question was simply is this part of a grant writing process that we contract for or is it somebody who's managing our grants making sure that we're meeting the deadlines specifically on reporting and staying in compliance within the language of the grant. What does this group do for us is what I'm curious. NWC has a wide variety of background and knowledge around grants management and federal requirements. They do not manage our grants specifically. We have a grants manager who does that in the office but there are times where we need to augment our existing staff. This contract was one that's been a multi-year contract that we use less than you know 10 to 15,000 per year and and and so it's they're just simply meant to augment our the work that our team does. Just so I'm clear on what we're approving we're approving a $200,000 contract for somebody that we use when we need but we only pay for that contract when needed. We're not giving the $200,000 upfront. Okay thank you for that clarification. I see Jason nodding yes. Yeah and and just for a little bit more detail there the 96,000 of that has already been expanded so we're looking to extend the contract by another hundred thousand just as a means to prevent ourselves from having to over the part of the reason they there was additional amendments is that we had to we were doing small incremental amendments to the contract and this one's meant to save staff time and do and go ahead and do a hundred thousand dollar incremental or a hundred thousand dollar amendment to to enable us to not have to do some of the smaller amendments like we did in the past. Thank you. Are there any other questions from Council on the calendar? All right Vice Mayor. I'd like to move approval of items 12.1 through 12.6 and then 12.8 through 12.17. Second. We have a motion from Vice Mayor McDonald and a second from Councilmember Rogers but we are not going to call the vote yet because we're going to go to public comment so Madam City Clerk may you please facilitate public comment. Yes our first speaker will be Dwayne DeWitt. My name is Dwayne DeWitt. I'm from Roseland. I want to start at the end of this long list 17 items. I believe that it's important to try to keep the teleconferencing the hybrid meetings alive in the future as the governor is going to lift the lockout and allow meetings to be all in person. It's proven to be quite helpful to have these hybrid meetings and involve people from home. Back to the beginning 12.1 support this effort. I'm hoping that it will be something to make sure we get the housing downtown that you've talked about for decades. Support 12.4 also because that states that there's a chance to get infrastructure improvements downtown and I'm making sure that that includes Sebastopol Road out to Dutton Avenue which is now included in the downtown specific plan. On the 12.6 this I can't support this. This is so expensive. This is a hyper inflated construction project that doesn't need to be this big big boondoggle. This should be cut in half in terms of how much is being spent for this. You can get fire stations down here on Steel Lane like you proved at the old car wash in for just a couple of a million dollars. So this thing is really milk in the public trough. The 12.7 I want to speak on that when it comes up. Then as we go deeper into this idea of these long consent item situations of saying you've got all these items to speak on. In the past it was pointed out with the Brown Act and the Keen Act that it's important to have as much public input as you can get on these different items and yet you're loading the agenda so much with items that people can't speak on each of these because they know you only get three minutes and that just cheats the public out of the opportunity to really participate in these decision-making processes. The extension of the proclamation of local homeless emergency is very important. You've got people out on the Georgia Trail who are getting moved out today under force and that's something that needs to be spoken about more often as to what's going to go on to try to help to end that type of problem. The COVID-19 situation if you read in any of the scientific journals is become endemic. The scientists are basically saying they expect it to be here in the future and every year now we're going to be treating it like flu. It's with us for the long haul as a health care worker I think it's good that you folks keep these emergencies in place but you might want to say hey we're going to treat this now like the flu and we're going to do good things for COVID. Last but not least I want to thank the new mayor for doing her best to make sure and get Santa Rosa representatives on the various bodies. Thank you. I'm not seeing anyone else make their way to the podium and the chamber we do have one hand raised via Zoom. Joshua Shipper let me the host would please unmute him so he can speak. Okay can you hear me okay? Yes we can. Great thank you. Good evening Mayor Rogers council members and staff my name is Josh Shipper I'm the director of special initiatives with Generation Housing where we lead the movement for more diverse and more affordable housing. I just wanted to very quickly take a minute to strongly support Santa Rosa seeking the designation as a pro housing jurisdiction which was item 12.1. We are really excited that this status will open Santa Rosa to new funding opportunities for housing transit and infrastructure from the state and we believe there's a lot the city should be taking credit for. We also think that while the city's housing element process is still open the city can still add policies that meet that pro housing criteria before final approval so we really think this is the time to get those policies incorporated and because the designation is awarded based on a point scale the higher the points the more competitive your grant your subsequent grant applications are so we urge the city to seek maximum points where possible. The total number of cities that is that have been awarded the designation is adding up I think it's about seven as of January and there's more in the pipeline and the more awardees there are the more of a liability that lower score can be and that higher score will entitle you to to more funding in several of the grants so taking that time to develop a strong application will go a long way towards helping win Santa Rosa more funding from the state and there's just a couple of things we would encourage you as you begin this process we just ask that the council support the planning department staff as much as possible by committing to specificity and timelines on each of the proposed policies because maintaining that designation over the course of two years depends on enacting them and we also lastly just encourage you to reach out and begin a dialogue with the department of housing and community development their their input is great and they're really welcome to starting that dialogue so again we strongly encourage it and we thank you for your guidance host do we have any more hands raised via zoom there are no more zoom hands raised and we have no pre-recorded comments thank you we have a a motion on the table from vice mayor mcdonald pulling item 12.7 in a second from council member rogers if there is no further discussion madam city clerk may you please call the vote council member okrepke aye council member stat aye council member rogers aye council member flaming aye council member alvarez aye vice mayor mcdonald aye mayor rogers aye the motion passes with seven ayes vice mayor mcdonald would you like to put a motion on the table so that we can sort of see what discussion so we could discuss it yes thank you item i'll move item 12.7 second we have a motion on the table from vice mayor mcdonald in the second came from council member okrepke is there any discussion from council vice mayor mcdonald thank you mayor um so this particular contract reminds me of a contract that came to us last month about um contracting out for services that used to be potentially in house so my question to you is um this contract as i read it looks like it's for emergency surgery uh emergency surgeries emergency services and does it include any type of preventative maintenance meaning do they come in and and maintain our trees or do we have any type of preventive maintenance as part of this one million dollar contract can you guys see me okay i can yes we can thank you hi good evening council and members of the council i'm brandylin trammel i am your purchasing agent for the city of san rosa that's an excellent question vice mayor mcdonald and no it does not um in 2018 this was a contract that was let through a lowest responsive bid opportunity and the scope of work really runs around emergency services only and it's utilized by all city departments when they need to call upon it um we've just seen an escalated amount of service required of late as we all have endured the flooding and wind events of recent so there was an additional need here in the last several weeks so hence the reason to add an additional 300 000 for the funding looking back through the years it um the vendor has not increased their pricing and we were running about 150 or so thousand dollars a year in these services so the departments and their supervisors in those departments are the people who call upon this contract only when they need it thank you for that answer um i guess my question goes back to the same line of questioning i had last month where have we done a fiscal analysis to bring some of these services in home and if we look at that and we're looking at more of a preventative as opposed to reactive um to these types of emergencies because we don't have people going around consistently working on trees so um i could see us paying an inflated amount because it is an emergency at that point if we're calling people in versus do we have people on staff that are working on this consistently so have we done that type of fiscal analysis to bring these types of contracts back to the city of the savannah rosa and increase workforce that's also an excellent question um it wouldn't be in the purview of purchasing to actually do a study like that i am not sure if um assistant city manager nut is in the room or not the heaviest users of this contract are water capital improvements on occasion and wrecked park which has recently moved back into a different piece of the assistant city manager's portfolio so there is a year left on this contract and i'm not sure if that kind of fiscal analysis is underway within that division i thank you vice mayor jason nut assistant city manager so uh the the concept of evaluating internal versus contract is something that we're in the process of working with the finance department on in this particular case the type of work that that the contractor is doing is typically work that would be larger in nature than what our internal staff would do even if we were to bring it in house it's really difficult for some of the large trees that we have to either utilize work around remove um it it's it does require a certain specialty and a certain type of equipment that having internally is just going to be outside of our general purview like with other construction activities and so there is value in having a contract service so that they can provide those a higher level expert but we are in the process of evaluating whether or not there's some methodology to consider shifting some of our day-to-day services in house but we're not at that point right now and this particular contract provides the services that our staff need in order to make sure our community is safe can you give me a timeline of when we will have that analysis of when we'll be able to start having conversations about adding staff back in and reducing or getting rid of these outside contracts thank you for the question vice mayor at this time we're not assessing the tree contract we are going through some of our green space and weed abatement so we're taking those one by one but at this time this is not on the on the schedule so as we move forward i guess it goes back to this is my same concern that we are outside contracting on some of these services that i think we need to start looking at bringing back to the city of santa rosa and increasing our workforce so i will not be supporting this motion tonight because i think we need to stop adding amendments continuously to these contracts until we do that other work thank you any additional discussion from council before we go to a vote i know that we have a late public comment and i would like to give you the opportunity to speak sir if you thank you my name is no no no no no no we already did public comment on consent we have a late public comment pulled 12.7 off we did public comment on all of it he he is making public comment on 12 7 mayor since this it was pulled for separate okay um doing can we yes thank you right 12.1 hello yes sir um i want to address uh regarding the pro housing policies you have i want to address the downtown specific plan as related to the housing element plan you create the roberts district was created as part of the downtown stationary specific plan and it was given a density of six point of floor area ratio the moale property which is the same distance from railroad square as a roberts district and it has a two point of floor area ratio the roberts district is designated as part of railroad square however it is separated by railroad square by an elevated four lane freeway and it's separated from rosalind by a two lane street uh six point oh floor area ratio by definition comes out at 258 units per acre in the city will accept 50 percent of that which is 129 units per acre that cannot that is not realistic uh in construction costs the city of santa rosa and snoma county does not support the rental rates that would take to develop uh structured parking podium buildings at a two point of floor area ratio a one point would be acceptable and that would allow for a four four four to five story ground up apartment buildings with surface parking i'm proposing that blocks two and three which is the ones on both sides of roberts avenue in a roberts district or both sides of railroad tracks in roberts district be amended to a two point of floor area ratio and on those six acres we could get 250 apartments both affordable and market rate i've had developers walk away from the properties three times in last year because they cannot achieve the six point oh uh floor area ratio and especially it not being part of the downtown core or even in railroad square it's on the other side of two freeways from downtown um it's uh it doesn't make sense and if we built 250 units on this blocks two and three that would help incentivize a developer to come in with what will be required to develop block one which is a block in the corner of dunton and spass four road we could get incentivize a major grocery store like somebody like safeway to come in there and do the development which would contain structured parking and then we can stack five stories of apartments on top of that but as it sits now as i've been told by major developers here in san aroza we won't see development in the next 25 years at that zoning uh if we want housing built i'm proposing i can get 25 250 units built in the next two years if we could correct the zoning i know the zoning was done to satisfy the state elements uh uh right in the numbers but i need you to wrap up your three minutes and i know the clock up there okay thank you that was my spiel at this point in time thank you thank you we will now have public comment for item 12.7 mr duit vice mayor i think it's very important that we bring back our own arbitral team we used to have a lot of good people working to do tree care here in san aroza and due to budget constraints in the past we basically cut that department totally out and that's not a good thing obviously there's always going to be a concern about costs my concern today though is that this money goes out of the area these people from berkeley may be good at what they do but we also have good arborists and agricultural people here in san aroza specifically they should be the ones that are taking care of our trees and especially on the parks the parks team it's got a good young team they're doing their best to try to keep up with what's going on we should make sure and get as many young interns this summer people coming in through the teens especially the north coast conservation corps and the americore people get them working with us get a lot of this done for a lot less expense and you've got that for under a minute thank you thank you any more public comment in the chamber seeing none and seeing none on zoom madam city clerk may you please call the vote yes thank you mayor council member hi council member staff hi council member rogers hi council member fleming hi council member alvarez vice mayor mcdonald no mayor rogers hi that motion passes with six eyes and count and vice mayor mcdonald voting no thank you we will have our first public comment on non-agenda matters and then we'll move on to uh item 15 our public hearings so madam city clerk may you please facilitate our public comment on non-agenda items instead if you wish to make a public comment on non-agenda items agenda item 13 please make your way to the podium hello my name is de wayne de wid I'm from roseland the recent rain showed that stormwater retention is needed rosland creek is an excellent spot in which you could be trying to get grants and funding at both state and federal levels to do stormwater retention in that creek basin sonoma water actually owns a property at mcminne avenue on the bridge over rosland creek this is a spot where you could start to get county involvement to bring county funds forward to help with water retention and the cleanup of the stormwater remember this stormwater goes out to the laguna de santa rosa often it's polluted by uh pollutants that come from cars that's difficult to clear your unless you have some sort of slowdown of the water what's really important is that the toxic remediation that goes on with these types of situations has been a hold-up in the past to getting things done here in roseland we have a project up on sabbastopol road after the 2007 sabbastopol road urban vision plan that project came forward known as rosland village redevelopment toxic remediation has been the hold-up they have not been able to clear their situation with the regional water quality control board to get total clearance on the properties there think of how it would be in other properties if they don't get cleared up it's been almost 30 years since a group was put together by city and county local government officials also the state at the regional water board called the citizens cleanup coalition they came forward at that time to help work on these issues because of the junk yards in our area acme auto records west god's auto records and others that stormwater pollution was bringing automotive toxics out into our water and contaminated the underground aquifer contaminated wells created numerous problems which led to a red zone designation for a large group of roseland residents and their properties essentially redlined them and kept them in a serious dilemma so now we're here at this point where you folks could take the lead and say you know what we're going to reach out to the county some of water and say give us some money to look at that small little spot that you already own the water agency owns it in a sense it's their easement to work with you to try to limit that stormwater pollution and also go forward with stormwater retention approaches clear out cement from creeks do positive things to slow down the water flow out to the Laguna de Santa Rosa thank you very much I don't see anyone else making their way to the podium in the chamber zoom host do we have any hands raised in zoom there are no zoom hand raised and we have no prerecorded comments for this item thank you madam city manager may we please proceed to item 15.1 thank you item 15.1 is a public hearing the boat bowden annexation prezoning properties at 46 46 badger road and 999 middle rincon road uh senior planner monay and we'll lead the discussion okay thank you good evening mayor rogers and members of the council the item before you today is a prezoning for two monay can you put the microphone a little closer to your mouth thank you is it better now yes thank you so the project before you today is a prezone for two properties into r16 zone industry these two properties are located at 46 46 badger road and 999 middle rincon road both parcels are currently both properties are currently developed with a single family dwelling units and accessory structures there are no new developments proposed at this time and the approval of this prezoning would allow these two properties to annex into the city so these properties are located in north eastern corner of the city within a county island here is a closer look at these two parcels with existing single families and accessory structures and here is the prezoning annexation boundary map that shows two properties that are proposed for prezoning about the project history so in 2019 the property located at 46 46 badger road had a septic tank failure that needed to be replaced in order to make the residents habitable however sonoma canyon would not issue a septic tank permit due to the location of the septic tank being too close to the creek as a result the property owner had to apply for a utility certificate to be able to connect to the city sewer system in um november 2020 the utility certificate application was approved and sonoma canyon local agency formation commission also known as lafko approved an outside service area agreement with the condition that the owner needs to apply to the annexation the prezoning application was submitted to the was submitted by the applicant in 2021 and the property owner at 999 rincon creek also joined this annexation and last year in october 2022 the project was presented to the planning commission which recommended approval to city council as for above the general plan and zoning the general plan land use for both parcel is low density residential which allows a density range between two to eight units per acre and it's mainly intended for single family residential uses and this prezoning to r16 is consistent and would implement the general plan land use designation so the project has been reviewed in compliance with the california environmental quality act and qualifies for four exemptions staff did not receive any comments or questions about the proposed project and with that it is recommended by the planning commission and the planning and economic development department that the council introduce an ordinance to prezone the properties located at 46 46 badger road and 999 middle rincon road to the r16 zoning district and that was my presentation i'm available to

pit and they were unable to locate another proper location on the property for a new one they then submitted a pre-zoning application in december of 2021 and it was then approved with a condition from lafko to annex the parcel to san aroza on october 13 2022 the planning commission adopted the resolution uh and is recommending approval to the city council to adopt an ordinance to pre-zone the

present now we will move on to item 14.1 madam city manager item 14.1 city council city council legislative advocacy policy lawn peterson chief communications and intergovernmental relations director will lead the discussion good evening the mayor vice mayor and city council it's a great to be here i'm excited to be presenting this particular item we've been working on this for some time and we're going to kick this off so i wanted to provide some background on this the city council has not updated this policy since 2013 in that time the city has formed the communications and intergovernment relations office in addition to that we hired a intergovernment relations and legislative affair officer in 2020 2021 we kicked off our first federal platform and then in 2022 we did both the state and federal platforms and we're back tonight to go over the policy in relation to this to to legislation the purpose this provides the mayor and city council with principles and directions to guide the position for the city of san rosa staff as well as the council on behalf of the city and it enables us to be nimble quick and sustain engagement in all areas of legislation in both platforms next slide so this this policy update provides us the ability to streamline our approval process process when taking official positions on policy also gives the mayor authority to policy positions and i want to just clarify if that proposed action is in line with the council's platforms and it also clarifies that the council will have legislative platforms in both the state federal on a consistent basis so with that the communications and intergovernment relations office recommends that the city council approve resolution updating the council's legislative advocacy policy 000.040 and that concludes my presentation thank you for that presentation i'm looking to council to see if there are any questions yes council member rogers thank you mayor a couple of quick questions a lot if you don't mind sure in the resolution i flagged two things one is to your point we've now created new positions in a new department at the city and we've built that into the resolution do we need to have any language in there that says or a comparable position just in case we ever go through a restructuring or if there's somebody else like the position hasn't been filled and maybe that's a question for the attorney instead madam city assistant city attorney thank you council member rogers um i to the extent that staff is comfortable with that kind of change in the rest of council agrees it's always fine to incorporate you know or or designate you know or as designated by the city manager by the mayor etc so yeah it can be a good idea because position names do change okay i'll probably uh offer that as a suggestion for what council should should change the second question was on uh one of the elements of it was we have to adopt the policy by december 31st or the platform exceeds me by december 31st and as much as i'm an advocate for that getting out ahead of it to be able to offer our perspective to members as they're coming in oftentimes we don't actually know what legislation has been introduced until the end of january or middle of february depending on like for instance the state's legislative calendar and so the question that i have and also every two years new members take their seat at the beginning of december can we or should we build in some flexibility there so that they're so that the mayor if asked to take positions on new legislation that's been introduced that we don't handcuff them by saying that we had to have approved our policy or our platform by december 31st does that make sense it does and my understanding it's a of that the physical year so it would be the entire year so i see so does it so if december 31st does it roll over to the next year then is that your reading of it yeah so it'd be like from now so like for tonight if we approved the policies i'm excuse me the platforms we would basically have the entire year to work on that and approve them so that gives us the entire year the flexibility last year we did the platform on the 25th so today we're coming in early a whole day early on the 24th we're crushing it with the platforms so but the intent is to to allow the entire year to to for that flexibility but i mean to your point we're really coming in at the early january to align with both the state and federal legislation so but we could amend it to maybe the first quarter or as you know adjust that language as needed to make it more clear yeah i think i'd be more comfortable if we set the date a little bit further out that doesn't preclude you from taking a position or the mayor from taking a position on bills but it would then remove the requirement that the council acts by a certain date in order to be able to operate the the platform okay do you just are you recommending then just to remove the date completely and just have it i'll say i'll say by goal setting would kind of be what i would say for council okay it will be added in the we can add it in the motion so you know what changes that we're making all right and this is his motion so he will add it uh council convenient convenient council member Fleming yeah so since we're talking about tweaks and adjustments here in this portion um so that perhaps we can prevent a series of friendly amendments and second motions i was just curious to know if there was any practical reason why the council couldn't be notified of might my notes are up here be notified of this of these letters as soon as they go out rather than in the council agenda packet if that would create any brown act issues more specifically i'm thinking like an item 14.1 legislative policy section c2h uh request something like at the end of the sentence and all members of the city center as a city council for informational purposes it just seems like odd that we would have to wait to see a legislative position until the next city council meeting agenda packet is issued so if i understand you correctly so you want to see the letters before they are submitted to uh either the state or federal uh or or as they are all right i'm just curious to know that would create a tremendous burden for staff council member Fleming can you clarify your ask yeah the the letters um when they're issued that the the the council would be copied on the letters at the time of issuance got it is there a problem with that occurring no not at all we can add cc's to all or all the letters yeah yeah that's what i thank you that's what we're just talking about too okay yeah that makes sense i'm in then in section c3 out of section under the any action letter position taken sorry i keep losing my notes thank you for your patience um any action letter or position taken by the mayor under this section should be reported out to the full council in a timely manner the purpose of this is just so the council knows what's happening when it's happening yeah okay thank you that's it yeah absolutely you're welcome vice mayor mcdonnell yeah i guess i'm reading um december 31st thinking that you have it as a proposal brought to us usually in january and that we'd have until the 30 no later than the 31st of the year that fiscal or that year calendar year i should say not fiscal year so if we're going on a fiscal year be different is there anything around like at the change of term for the mayor because it doesn't say how often this is brought forward is not what i'm seeing in this it just says prior to the december 31st of each year so we would be at the very beginning of the year if you're doing it in january i'm just curious when it's been done in the past and is that why i mean that it doesn't make sense to not keep december 31st to me because it's a that's a whole year to do it and that's fine and i actually i really appreciate your question because you looked at it completely different than i did that's shocking what i what i read when i read it was the legislative year begins the first monday of december and that we would have until december 31st to adopt the the thing so i can understand i can understand i read it as a calendar year yes and so that we would have time after the legislative session starts to be able to hear introduction of bills and act on those pieces of legislation but no later than the end of that calendar year you would be bringing it to us correct that's how it's supposed to be yes and it's it's i think it's meant to be annual and that it's timely without having to put a exact day that it has to be something our intent is to come at the beginning of the calendar year when the legislative session starts and be active so we did it last year on the 25th it's this year on the 24th and so we'll be looking annually to come back before council at the beginning of the year after we do our outreach to the department and to council with the platform and the updates yeah i'm i'm fine with not adding the amendment then my concern was really looking at it from a legislative calendar year standpoint to make sure that we had more than 30 days for for you all to analyze bills and bring us recommendations some bills don't even come out until february or march if they are trying to be just spot bills at the beginning of the legislative session and it's the concern what we like to um go to public comment so we can have put a motion one more question and then we can have discussion right now we're just doing questions thank you on the on the letters that are going out would those not be public comment already they're already um they're already to the public by then if you're sending them over to the legislature so there would be no violation of brown act correct correct they're already public record yes okay thank you it's getting pushed out exactly you're welcome all right are there any additional questions from council seeing then madam city clerk may you please facilitate public comment i'm seeing no one um in the chamber for public comment we have no hands raised on zoom and no prerecorded messages great um councilmember rogers may you please put a motion on the table and if we need to have discussion after we get a second we will do so yeah absolutely and thank you both lawn and scott for your work on this i will move the resolution with the two changes the first being uh that we add in or designate or the designate wherever we've referenced the zero position the second is a clarification that when the letters go out that council members perceive that information as well and i'll wait for the reading of the text second we have a motion from councilmember rogers and a second from vice mayor mcdonnell um is there any additional discussion all right madam city clerk may you please call the vote councilmember okrepke aye councilmember staff aye councilmember rogers aye councilmember fleming aye councilmember alvarez aye vice mayor mcdonald aye mayor rogers hi that motion passes with seven eyes thank you very much we'll be moving to item 14.2 madam city manager item 14.2 2023 federal legislative platform director peterson will also be leading this discussion and if you could uh introduce your team members please absolutely uh yes so uh joining me tonight is scott alonzo he is the legislative affairs officer for the city of santa rosa um we're going to be going over scott's going to take over this presentation uh in coordination with um our legislative partners scott oh yeah so let me do that real quick on the the platform um so the purpose of the legislative platform is to communicate the city's federal policy um and projects and priorities to the public our conditional delegation at congress and our federal agencies thanks scott um it also provides guidance and direction to city staff um and our federal representatives regarding the city's federal funding and priorities and so this really sets the direction as we've been meeting with you and getting feedback and putting this all together it allows the city staff to work on that i'm going to turn it over to scott um to take over the presentation and introduce um our legislative partners good evening mayor rogers and uh council members we have uh representatives from mmo partners joining us this evening from washington dc by zoom we have john o'donnell and karyakas pagonas who have uh worked with us for many years now and i will turn over them to go over this slide and introduce themselves uh thank you scott good evening uh mayor rogers vice mayor mcdonnell members of the council and city manager smith we're glad to be with you tonight um we've met most of you i think uh earlier this year or last year in july when we were there visiting but there are some members of the council that are new and we've not met so i want to take just a moment excuse me to um introduce ourselves uh our firm uh mmo partners which is stands for murray montgomery o'donnell partners has been in the business of representing local governments in washington dc since uh 1980 and at the start of our firm we represented four municipalities who we continue to represent since 1980 that's the city of albuquerque city of phoenix city of oxnard california and the city of oklahoma city uh we're proud of the fact that we've represented over that length of time and we have considerable experience uh in representing local governments and dealing with federal agencies and congress over that period of time uh we have a strong approach with both sides of the aisle here in washington which we have found to be very beneficial in terms of the work that we do with congress and with the administration whichever party is in charge of the white house and over that period of time i think we've built up a very strong record of a return on investment for the investment our clients make in our services so uh with that said i would ask our vice president karyakas begonis to take over the presentation uh thanks thanks john i think scott you were gonna go into the highlights is that correct yeah i was just going to touch on a few of these and karyakas if you want to jump into that'd be great as well just wanted to highlight a few of the overall funding that we received at the federal level through formula and competitive funding so formula funding is out funding that we get allocated directly to the city which is just over 64 million and just over half that was competitive you'll see there's some still some covet relief that we got last year and just wanted to highlight the sandman hotel reimbursement a 4.3 million that we worked with alan alton and his team on to get um mmo partners was instrumental in helping us move the needle with fema to actually get that money through the door and so that was a good success in early 2022 and then there was some federal legislation that we waited on you'll know there in the italics senate bill 3011 which allowed for arpa money covet relief money to be used for infrastructure projects so it brought in the definition which allowed that money to to be used for more things and we were weighing in on that we were active in those negotiations and then you'll see some information down at the bottom on wildfire resiliency we have that eoc earmark of one million dollars in there because we actually didn't receive the money until uh or congress didn't approve it until last march so even though we applied for two years ago congress didn't actually approve it until last march so there was a delay there just wanted to highlight some of the the emergency roadway recovery money that we received nearly five million dollars and then the fire act was passed and signed into law in december of 2022 that the city was very active participant in with senator pedia and his team to see that through the finish line and karyakis will touch on that as well during our presentation karyakis or john anything to add on this first slide okay great and then just some other uh these are all kind of formula funding allocations uh we did want to highlight the 4.3 million dollars that santa rosa city bus got for the uh electric vehicle replacement we got a 4.3 million dollar through the federal transit administration which some of you saw back in december when we did the ribbon cutting and city bus staff did an amazing job of securing that competitive grant through fta and ray tell us came out here our regional administrator to take a look at those buses back in december so that was a huge win for the city and city bus staff and then you'll note down at the bottom are water and energy resiliency through the water resources development act we received authorization for 19.4 million for water and wastewater infrastructure that still needs to be appropriated so that's a two-step process working with the army corps in congress but uh mmo and santa rosa water uh put together this application and and we were successful with congressman thompson uh who who spearheaded our request and then lastly our another earmark we were successful in 2021 in applying for but again we didn't get approval until last year was the federal earmark for in response so i just wanted to keep those highlights uh karyakis or john anything to to add on those the old Scott thank you the only thing i would add um not not not small is that you know the the highlights here uh really do represent i think a a team approach uh city manager when she came in in january was pretty clear with us about you know making sure that uh the city's positions were advocated for and without the the council's approval on on the platform and your advocacy and the great work of city staff and and last but not least obviously the work that the congressional delegation uh has done on behalf of the city over the past year is really why this is successful so scott thanks for for highlighting that okay and then i'm going to turn it over to to karyakis to go through our proposed federal priorities tonight and we can uh dig into that thanks scott mayor rogers vice mayor mcdonald members of the city council and city manager smith as lawn pointed out earlier this is the third time we were coming before you with a federal platform i'm very excited about that that's something that you know we worked with the city over the past couple years to really get this up and running for the first two years that we were working with the city was really on on recovery response and really being responsive to things coming at us this is really a step in a more proactive approach where the city has time to to really think about and be strategic about how it pursues federal policy changes and and advocate advocates for for federal projects so really excited to be here presenting this third iteration of of the city's proposed federal priorities the first of the seven sort of categories that you'll see is wildfire prevention hazard mitigation resiliency and recovery this continues to really advocate for legislation and funding that really focuses on mitigating and really being proactive on preventing impacts from disasters and also advocating for programs like the cdbg block grant disaster recovery program which right now is is really authorized or appropriated as as needed so there is legislation that was introduced last congress that will would codify the program as you might recall this this program was able to provide about in total over 72 million dollars for the city post the 2017 disasters 38.4 million of which was for multifamily housing and then 34 million was for disaster mitigation and recovery some of which I think are being used for things like your fire station five rebuild and other other projects in the city so it's a really critical program again there's been efforts to try to codify it and and we continue to to push for that advocating for funding for improvement in iPause integrated public alert warning system it's something that we've been working with the city to make sure that this system is is up and running and certainly you know responsive to changes in technology and then also last but not least as Scott mentioned earlier the fire act really did start was supported by Senator Padilla but really did start in Santa Rosa about a year ago when the senator met with the mayor with Mayor Chris Rogers at the time and Chief Westrop and city staff to to talk about and make improvements to to the Stafford Act and and really improve ways that which FEMA can help cities recover post wildfires and as we know certainly not the easiest process but have made some significant progress in making those changes which will start this year when when FEMA begins to implement the program so you know on the relocation assistance that's something that the city will have to continue to weigh in with FEMA as they again implement the fire act but again that's why this is on on the list for this year next slide please surface transportation is the next category and supporting of funding for the infrastructure investment and jobs act which you all probably know is the infrastructure bill or bill that you know was signed into law last year certainly provides a huge investment in transportation some of which the city is receiving the formula programs coming through the state and then through your regional partners other funding is coming through competitive programs like Scott mentioned through the through FTA the city did secure 4.3 million and currently additional funding for things like Herne Avenue and like pet over crossing so we're going to be continuing to to monitor those programs and as they come up we're currently working with the city to identify potential opportunities to leverage federal investments in infrastructure and transportation infrastructure in particular to build projects in Santa Rosa next slide please can i interrupt for just a moment and ask john to please mute himself if he's not speaking sorry we're getting feedback thank you thanks mayor under water and energy resiliency again i won't read this verbatim but calling for support and monitoring of regulatory efforts around water sewer storm water programs including the drinking water and clean water revolving loan funds both of which receive the a very big increase in funding through the infrastructure investment jobs act that funding comes through through the state and through formula but but also available for local governments to apply to the state to receive grants and or loans depending on the state's criteria continue to advocate for low income household water assistance program funding that funding was made first available through the cares act and then through ARPA which really helped low income households offset some of their water and wastewater bills during covid it's something that we've been working on with some of the national associations like NACWA national association of clean water agencies which i know the city is actively engaged with and it's something that will be continue to work with them and others to promote should the council support this this policy support for funding and resources for drought relief response support and community outreach and education included including grants and funding for the bureau and and EPA again those are two federal agencies we've been working with i know the city and city council member at the time mcdonald and mayor rogers met with EPA recently in november to talk about city programs and we also did meet with the bureau back in november and have plans to do so in the first quarter of this year to talk about the good work that santa rosa is doing to conserve water especially during drought i know you all have had some rain recently so that's good but we'll continue to reach out and advocate for for funding for programs that the city is doing in those in those two areas next slide please a climate change and sustainability again the city has long advocated for programs that reduce impacts of greenhouse gas emissions the white house certainly led on efforts in the congress passed the inflation reduction act which invests significant amount of funding in programs to help communities reduce their impacts on on air pollution etc something that i know the city has been certainly a leader on and we're certainly tracking those announcements as they come up right now agencies are are standing up programs as we heard from EPA back in november continue to support for funding for the energy efficiency and block grant program that's a program that was first stood up during the obama administration and funded again in the infrastructure investment jobs act department of energy just released allocations this is a formula program the city's allocation is about 210,570 for for this program and the the application process is is just beginning and i know the city is on top of that and will be applying to to receive that funding continue to advocate for funding to convert the city's municipal vehicle fleet to zero emissions including charging infrastructure and implementing the conversion i think the city is certainly looking at planning funding and and other funding to to help evaluate what's necessary to to do that conversion and we're certainly going to be focused on on that during the year next slide please housing homelessness and economic development again this is an area i know the city has and the city council has made a top priority this is continuing to advocate for formula programs like cdbg and home emergency food and shelter voucher programs and also a continuum of care which provides funding for homeless assistance to the cocs around the country i know the city's active in the coc locally and again this is an area where congress has invested and does continuously or has over the past two years increased funding for homeless assistance and the last piece of this is extending housing credits so low-income housing tax credit is a major program that you know helps communities build affordable housing that program did get an increase over the past couple years congress was trying congress tried to extend the increase for li-tech in the last congress but did not get around to it but will certainly be on the agenda for this year reauthorization of economic development administration programs specifically their public works program is is a competitive program that congress funds on an annual basis at various at various funding levels so we'll continue to advocate for for funding for eda and its public works programs which really do invest in things like expansion of water lines anything really that you can think of that would help small businesses in santa rosa either stay there or or expand and that's an area that we've worked with this with the city on trying to advocate and identify projects that might qualify and help small businesses in santa rosa there's a there is legislation that was not introduced last session but i think will be on the on the agenda for this year to reauthorize eda and also trying to include language that is responsive to communities that have been impacted by multiple disasters taking a lesson from the city next slide please public safety again this continues advocacy for federal funding to support safety and emergency response operations firefighter equipment and training community engagement and education police hiring and training and possibly fire station construction funding advocate for funding for community violence and gun violence prevention programs and seeking funding for public infrastructure including a regional training facility regional communications infrastructure like radio towers prime lab and other technologies to improve community safety in santa rosa next slide public health this is new this year i think because of the where we are with covid this was sort of more from our covid section last year into a public health section but really aimed at keeping funding in place that was appropriated by congress to local governments to deal with covid there there has been some discussion on the hill about looking at some of those funds and perhaps recapturing funding that has not been allocated so that's something we're watching closely in fact treasury department today reallocated some rental assistance funding that wasn't being utilized to areas that needed it and and we're using it so there there is a constant look at covid assistance and we're certainly keeping our eyes on that as well so with with that that concludes this portion of the presentation scott i will kick it back to you thank you karyakas i appreciate that very nicely done with that the communications and intergovernment relations office recommends that the council by resolution adopt the city's 2023 federal legislative platform and my self scott and mmo partners are available for questions thank you very much for that presentation looking to council to see if there are any questions seeing no questions we will now go to public comment there's currently no one in the chamber if you are on zoom and you would like to make a public comment please raise your hand seeing no hands raised madam city clerk are there any voicemails for item 14.2 there are no voicemails for this item thank you very much councilmember rogers can you please put a motion on the table uh yeah madam mayor uh i will move approval of the legislative platform i do have uh at least one suggestion i know other council members probably have some suggestions as well on amendments my suggestion will kick one council member out of the meeting so perhaps it's best that i bring it up after they get a chance to respond to the rest of the platform can councilmember rogers get a second a second that all right we have a motion from councilmember rogers in a second from vice mayor mcdonald any discussion before we begin discussion i just wanted to thank our team in washington for your excellent work and before we get into the the nitty gritty of it all and just let you guys know how much we appreciate all that you've done to bring dollars home it has been tremendously helpful to have your support and your partnership thank you thank you save my comments and questions until after chris works out what is sounds like you wanted um probably mr o'crapki to make his comments councilmember o'crapki um yeah i am i'm good with this presented the only thing out the one thing i wouldn't mention is um uh last year we had some help from congressman tomson in regards to ghost guns and and some crime fighting was stuff like that um under the public safety portion it will i know it's a lot more difficult at the federal level but is that something that we get to incorporate into there uh yeah we councilmember we actually just met with congressman tomson and atf last friday with chief gregan and had a great hour-long conversation and the congressman is laser focused on this and uh chief has pledged to work with him in the council to make some recommendations on funding opportunities that we may have available for technology needs uh as one area on ghost guns and atf also reviewed some regulatory items that they're working on at the federal level and in the congressman's pledge to follow that and hear our feedback so we had a very productive meeting and we'll continue those conversations with his team locally and in dc thank you are there any additional questions comments or discussion all right so we'll go into the discussion now if that works for you madam mayor and i did want to be respectful i know that we have a colleague who is a fire survivor who can't be involved in some of the discussions we have and so i appreciated giving an opportunity to have him weigh in on other things we do as a community we are still rebuilding and there is legislation that periodically comes up that is geared at helping people recover from multiple disasters uh and we had one uh recently it was hr7305 that was reintroduced uh i don't want to call out the specific bill when we talk about things on the platform in case it does change but the thrust of it was to follow the state of california's lead and not uh collect taxes on the fire victims trust and the dollars for recovery that are intended to go towards people recovering and so i think that it's our responsibility as a community to continue to support folks as they're going through and as opportunities like this pop up so how would we reflect that level of support within our legislative platform before you continue as this has been brought up since i am a claimant in the fire victims of pgd in the fire victims trust i should probably recuse myself yeah you can leave now okay thanks um yeah so we can amend the the platform to have some breath that would allow this type of behavior from the city to advocate in those aspects so i mean we can do an amendment or if we want to change the language or have something specific yeah i think calling out continuing to support people as they recover in some fashion because the other example that i'd give is that we have a lot of small businesses and nonprofits that took out additional loans during covid and if an opportunity popped up for us to advocate for uh those uh loans either not accumulating interest or being waived as has been suggested i want us to be nimble enough to be able to have the mayor weigh in on those conversations agreed yeah and i guess we could leave it a little broader to accommodate that and and not follow the specific bill but just follow the state's lead in these type of efforts that accommodate both residential and business yeah and i don't even think it needs to be uh state lead i'm i'm perfectly happy with i mean i trust the mayor that if she's supporting legislation that there's especially in consultation with staff that there's a positive impact on our community i'm very fine with that oftentimes i find we're ahead of the state okay um we could so i don't know how we write that that in there um but i'd be interested in that yeah i think we can work work on some language with mmo partners on the wildfire section and just add a new bullet uh there i think would be the cleanest way to to look at that perfect yeah and then curious this is uh really a question for you one of the things that sort of expected and we've talked about it a little bit is preemption legislation now that you've had a changeover in at least the house in terms of party leadership do we have anything in the platform that really speaks towards the preemption legislation and for the public uh what we do see sometimes is when states like california get ahead on issues whether it's climate change whether it's other uh things that are priorities seeing congress come in and remove our ability to do things differently and and one of the key examples that currently is being discussed is um uh of all ridiculous things gas stoves uh because places like san aroza have made the decision to build new housing uh all electric and zero carbon uh and so now we do see the potential for prison uh prison hey excuse me preemption legislation coming in to say no actually states and local jurisdictions can't make their own decisions about these sorts of things councilmember rogers yeah i i think there's some room here where we can you know perhaps add some legis language that would you know oppose efforts to preempt uh that would preempt local uh policies and uh authority to to do um you know policies like you just mentioned so i think there is some flexibility where we can add some language in here for sure perfect i really appreciate that and i did want to say thank you to to john to kiri akis you guys have been wonderful to work with uh especially over the last couple of years we've called on you a lot and you've always been there for the city so i wanted to say thank you wanted to say thank you to our federal partners uh as was pointed out to me earlier it's actually congressman thompson's birthday so it seems appropriate to thank him as well as senator pedia congressman huffman and everybody else who works on behalf of san rosa's residents so thank you guys thank you for your your efforts councilmember flue me yes thank you my thing is small um and probably not small to deal with but it's small in the grand scheme of things and i mentioned it when we spoke last it's about hud rules when i speak to landlords who would like to rent a section eight voucher holders one of the reasons they cite that they don't do this is because it leaves them fully on the hook for utilities and i'm hopeful that we can advocate with hud and staffers as well as our federal delegation to have some movement to change the the funding structure around that so that landlords might be more willing to accept section eight voucher holders and not be fully on the hook for utilities thank you are there any additional questions or comments from council vice mayor mcdonnell thank you mayor so i have a little bit more specific bullets throughout this document and starting on page two under wildfire prevention and hazard hazard mitigation resiliency um and recovery i have a bullet and you can word it any way you want but the gist of his gist of it is to advocate for funding that um we ask for additional funding to be appropriated for emergency areas such as parks to have proper bathrooms ADA compliance and to be properly equipped during emergencies so i know there's funding at the state level i'm not sure if there's any funding available at the federal level i'm going to ask that that be inserted in there when we've talked to partners at the state level there are municipalities that have gone after grants that help to prepare our emergency evacuation sites to be prepped and ready for that and i think because of all of the issues we've had in sonoma county specific we might be primed to be able to get those some of those grants but i'd like to have that inserted in this document and i'll ask for it to be done on the state one as well under surface transportation i'd like to add a bullet to work with the u.s. department of transportation and local schools on potential funding for safe routes to school programs and grant opportunities to increase safety for children to walk and ride their bikes to school to promote climate resiliency as well under housing and economic development i'd like us to add to support the child tax credit reauthorization and full implementation that was done under the american rescue plan that particular item has been suspended but it reduced child poverty by 40 percent because of the support that it did for families so i'd like us to advocate for that to be part of our platform because of how it supports families in our community and then under economic and uh development i have also um well that's the same one sorry about that increase awareness and promote increased funding to child and adult care food programs ca cfp summer food service programs and community food systems to promote use of local foods in the national lunch program for children to support our local agriculture and businesses and those would be my additions that i'd like to see us incorporate in this document as we move forward on our advocacy work thank you are there any additional questions or comments seeing none madame city clerk can you please call the vote yes assistant city attorney could i just make a quick clarification in terms of the motion that is on the table and what changes are being incorporated into the policy if you don't mind i was just is does the motion incorporate all of the changes i want to make sure that we're capturing the the full scope here yeah so i'll make sure so what i heard was uh for me the general support for fire victims and small businesses and nonprofits who are recovering uh preemption legislation i heard from councilmember fleming hud regulations i heard from council excuse me vice mayor mcdonald uh the emergency services funding in parks and other areas uh the child and adult food programs the safe routes to schools and then the child care tax credit renewal and and i know that uh vice mayor had some specific language and so i don't know if you want to capture that or if it's captured on the video and we can put it in later whatever you want to work with so it's a motion to kind of modify the um the policy in those key areas and delegate authority to staff to incorporate the um verbatim request and then also in the areas where we don't have a verbatim request to be able to kind of add the bulletin as as staff sees appropriate to accomplish council's objectives yeah i'm just quickly going to look to staff and to our lobby team to make sure that doesn't create any unintended consequences for us to include these i don't see any i mean this you know this platform allows us to support oppose or watch um it doesn't mean we have to take action so we can look at all these particular things and if it's something that we see and allows us to look at those and we see that it's to everything that council has asked for we can bring that forward and look at it evaluate it and take action as needed and and mayor gives you enough flexibility okay yes cool yep sounds good for the motion then madam city clerk may we please call the vote one moment council member staff i council member rogers i council member phleming i council member alvarez i vice mayor mcdonald hi mayor rogers hi the motion passes with seven eyes six eyes with uh council member okrepki abstaining okay we will be moving to item 14.3 and if i can ask staff to uh let council member okrepki know that we are moving on to the next item madam city manager may you please introduce the item thank you item 14.3 2023 state legislative platform director peterson peterson is uh i'm going to deliver the report thank you thank you city manager uh i'll wait for krepki see that as a way thank you we'll just wait one second we can proceed thank you you're welcome thank you all right so we'll be going over the uh state legislative platform now the purpose of this platform just like the federal one is to communicate to the state's policy and projects and priorities to the public state legislative delegation and our state agencies it also provides guidance and direction to see staff and to our state representatives regarding city state funding and policy priorities that being said i'm going to turn it over to scott to introduce our state legislative advocates and partners good evening mayor rogers and council we have sharon with us from reny public policy group in sacramento she is here by zoom and uh wanted to introduce sharon and she can go over this slide and then we'll jump into some of the highlights in the platform hi good evening madam mayor members of the council sharon consolvis i'm the director of government affairs with the reny public policy group um we came on board with the city in the fall of 2021 and really we hit the ground running in terms of developing and updating the state's legislation the city's um state legislative platform meeting with your department heads and really took um were very active in um this past year um we're a relatively new firm but all of us come from local government my colleague dan hutchings was the labor and employment lobbyist for cal cities i worked as a capital staffer for 10 years before um lobbying on behalf of primarily local governments and um our newest colleague elissa still hi she came to us from the special districts association as well as having just served a term on the city of lincoln city council and really with um between our team we really have a strong hold on all issues that are important to local government such as housing and land use which has been huge the last couple of years um public safety revenue and taxation as well as governmental operations and um also we've got um senior advisors most notably dan carrot has spent 30 years with cal cities and provides a lot of technical expertise in um negotiating um funding opportunities through bond efforts great thank you sharon for that and uh we're just going to go over some quick highlights and then jump into uh the proposed 2023 platform you'll see that on the state side we're very active on policy matters we waited on 22 pieces of legislation in 2022 our ppg and our staff tracked 675 bills so just a wide variety of legislation from solid waste to affordable housing to public safety to wildfire mitigation so just a tremendous amount of areas we're tracking um in the good news for the cities that we achieved the desired outcome on 18 of those 22 uh measures so some of that was supporting legislation some of that was seeking amendments some of that was uh opposing um the other one to highlight here uh is our state earmarks um we were very successful working with our state legislative delegation senator mcguire assembly member wood and then assembly member levine uh securing 12.5 million dollars in direct state earmark requests certainly that'll change this year with the proposed budget deficit that we're seeing in sacramento um but last year we had a much different situation so uh we were able to seek funding for uh the new fire station eight uh the rosalind library and then a water um with for santa rosa water a program to expand their uh high efficiency appliance install project uh which is great so that was from assembly member wood uh for 1.5 million and we're working with the state agencies to now secure the funding so uh that's taking some time through the department of finance uh because they just presented the governor's proposed budget just a few weeks ago so that's what they've been focused on uh but we've been tracking that down to ensure that we get that money in the door this year uh sharon anything else you wanted to highlight on this slide not on this slide okay great well i will turn it over to sharon these uh slides like our federal slides are not the entire platform these are just some of the highlights from each issue area but you have a copy of the the complete platform as well before you so i will turn it over to sharon to run through uh some of these key areas great thank you well um you know just to kind of rehash what's already been said um the legislative platform really serves as a living document that we review every year we want to make sure that it's a reflection of the current council and the city's priorities and it's a very collaborative process so we've been working on um potential updates since the end of session in september of 2022 meeting with members of the council as well as every department to really um ensure that all the statements that are in the platform are still relevant um things that have been achieved we try to update and um just edit it to a point where it actually um impacts the city and reflects the work that you guys are wanting to do and again we try to keep the statement somewhat broad so that it allows the city to be nimble in taking positions when things are moving really quickly so in terms of wildfire prevention and recovery hazard mitigation resiliency we looked at all um all aspects where hazard mitigation and recovery is necessary including um earthquake hazard mapping policies and funding um that would help further the city's community wildlife protection plan looking at ways to minimize the frequency of the electric power electric utility power shutoffs it's been raining for like a month straight but we do live in california and understand that we do have um year-long fire season and then looking at supporting legislative and regulatory efforts to um minimize those psps shutoffs um and then i did make a note of um vice mayor mcdonald's comments regarding emergency evacuation so i don't have the full platform in front of me but i will make sure that we've got something along those lines included in there and then the next slide regarding administration human resources and risk management we always see um a number of bills in this area so um one of our priorities to support legislation to advance workplace diversity equity inclusion belonging we had this in our platform before but we added the term belonging in order to make sure that it's um as inclusive as possible and then um always looking at supporting legislation and advocating for the fiscal health of the city and its um pension obligations going into budget deficits you have to really look at what kind of responsibilities the state is going to be throwing at low at the local government on the local level and then um lastly the last priority is to really just you know make sure that we're looking at regional efforts to increase efficiencies and decrease costs and that includes fire services so um under governmental transparency and public access this has been a huge topic um really i think covid brought to light the um how we could do remote meetings and how it can increase public access definitely expect to see some efforts again this year we're already um hearing rumblings about various proposals of how that might be addressed so we want to make sure that we um the city has the flexibility to have public meetings and be able to provide access to community members in the ways that allow them to fully participate also looking at opposing any kind of legislation that incentivize increased litigation a lot of times you'll see bills introduced that have um you know a right to um a right to litigate as a means to kind of negotiate things down but it still ends up being very problematic so we keep a close eye on those as well as um legislation pertaining to the public reference act but on the next slide um under economic development looking to support funding mechanisms with economic development tools not just to entice businesses to come in but really anything that can further um the other thing the other types of incentives that bring businesses and including housing child care and things that are important to employees looking to support policies that encourage working with other cities and counties and government agencies and really developing economic clusters as well as looking at incentives that would preserve and enhance a favorable business climate climate under environmental climate change and sustainability there is um it's been a huge priority for the administration as well as the state um every kind of every policy really has climate change as an umbrella over it so we're looking at um you know climate adaptation plans looking at combined benefits of air quality water quality housing infrastructure and public public health and how they all combine together um also looking for supporting funding opportunities for transportation housing and economic development and um electric infrastructure upgrades the purchase of clean fleet vehicles this one has been a huge priority but also because of the deficit it's one of the areas that are being subject to some of the largest cuts so this is something that I anticipate us working on quite a bit this upcoming year and then lastly maintain the enhanced local authority and economic flexibility where solid waste and recyclables are concerned with the implementation of SB 1383 there's been some delays with it I think everybody's looking to comply the best way possible and that means maybe not a one-size-fits-all necessarily if you could go to the next slide please under water quality and water supply your water department works really closely with aqua and as a result we have a large um we do a lot of work on the water end looking to increase the availability and funding for water conservation water reuse technologies recycled water water storage ground water storage um I think what's our priorities really encompass is the fact that it's not just one solution that identifies water supply that it's really a mix of a lot of different methods and then approving streamlined approval and permitting processes advocating for funding to support the continued operation of the Potter Valley project and provide protect that water supply and the resiliency of fisheries and then like I mentioned working with the coalition of water agencies um for various um appropriations to different funding programs housing and land use planning this has been a huge issue we've seen well over 60 bills and I think in the last two years being signed um in this regard um some of the city's priorities the city is a good actor on housing they are looking for multiple ways to develop really kind of in that transit oriented downtown manner that the state really is trying to push so under our priorities we have strengthen local agencies legal and fiscal capability to prepare adopt and implement plans for orderly growth um all these laws don't mean anything if things just kind of get hung up and then new housing is being built support legislation and housing measures to preserve and rehabilitate existing affordable housing create efficiencies within CEQA to help support local discretion and planning efforts to limit delays there's actually already been a bill introduced in this regard that we're going to be taking a closer look at and then also supporting legislation that lowers the state's cannabis excise tax under homeless Smith um looking to increase funding for ongoing operations of permanent supportive housing although we have a deficit the governor's proposed budget does still have this as one of its primary focuses with a lot of um with funding still going towards some of the key homeless programs additionally under priorities it's to increase state funding to prevent and reduce homelessness specifically in santa rosa and sonoma county looking at mental health and substance abuse needs of a person experiencing homelessness that helps with the ongoing cycle and then allowing local flexibility for those state funding programs under recreations in parks looking to advocate for non-competitive per capita funding where um cities and local agencies are granted um funding in order to deal with deferred maintenance of their existing parks also looking to support housing related parks program which is a great program under hcd that used to require that neighborhoods had parks and then oppose policies that um would have road funding for community service programs that would negatively impact outdoor spaces natural resources any kind of thing that really promotes physical activity and people getting outside and then under public safety um really the city's done a lot of great work in this realm so i want to continue to advocate and strengthen community-oriented public safety policies looking for looking at addition being able to hire additional police officers whether it's violence prevention programs gun violence prevention um funding and initiatives i expect to see a lot of that this year as well as the issue that we discussed in the previous item regarding um 3d printing and the selling of ghost guns um also looking at seeing if there can be um advocate for increased funding for um something specifically for in response that would benefit the city um there are some programs through the department of justice that we are going to advocate for and then also continuing to support policies that increase the accountability and transparency of law enforcement agencies and personnel under fire and emergency services um this has also been a pretty hot topic for a number of years we've talked about it a little bit already but continuing to support efforts to improve the coordination of the psps events so that um residents and businesses they all aren't just left literally in the dark um looking to encourage regional collaborations where firefighting efforts are concerned that includes hiring firefighters as well as emergency operations personnel and paramedics and then an issue that always seems to come up every year but to continue to advocate for local control of emergency medical and ambulance services under transportation and public works really to increase funding for all transportation projects this means not just your standard um streets and roads resurfacing projects but also transit oriented um capital projects zero mission buses charging infrastructures by glane sidewalks um all areas that have are being proposed to be cut right now and are already very competitive as far as grant funding goes and then advocate for policies for equitable access for transportation system users and make sure that there's funding for those disadvantaged communities as well as support policies and regulatory efforts to preserve net neutrality increase the funding for broadband including middle and last mile expenditures and then under public health we wanted to broaden it a bit it was very um last year when we were working on this we made a very covid specific because there was a lot of funding tied directly to covid as we come out of it we still have mention of covid but um wanted to include or a state public health emergency so should there be any other type of public emergency it does not hinder the city's efforts to receive direct or flexible funding and then also advocate for assistance to communities to help with emergency response operations related to a public health emergency um specifically vaccine distribution and testing great thank you so much Sharon really appreciate I know that's a lot there's a lot of activity going on in this space and we're very active as Scott mentioned the amount of bills being tracked this year and we can we're looking to do the same um for this year um with that the communications and intergovernmental relations office recommends that the council by resolution adopt the city's 2023 state legislative platform if there's any questions myself Scott or our um legislative partner are happy to answer any of those or take amendments thank you very much for that presentation and I'm looking to council members to see if there are any questions councilmember rogers thank you so much Sharon good to see you uh you touched on it a little bit with open government and I'm just wondering is there any appetite in the legislature to really deal with um accessibility with the brown acts and I know folks have brought forward different uh proposals on how we might be able to maintain some variation of I am trying um I will say so one third of the legislature is brand new so we have a lot of members um as freshman members that don't want to tackle this um subject matter largely because the assembly local government committee the chair and the lead head consultant it's a non-starter for them they weren't even happy with ab 2449 from last year um because they don't want to touch the brown act at all that being said we've passed legislation where they want more diversity on boards and committees and commissions and usually it's those positions that feed into council positions but it's really hard to get folks to do that if they can't be remote um so one of the efforts that is being discussed is to make it on a non-decision making level um I do think that if we don't have any kind of efforts this year it's really a lost opportunity because we've shown that you can increase public participation you can conduct remote meetings and um you get more folks involved in the government yeah I appreciate that and there's a an interesting juxtaposition like our our council not too long ago had somebody who was on maternity leave and had to post the agenda to be able to participate including their address at the same time the legislature's introducing bills aimed at uh understanding threats and violence towards elected officials so there seems to be a disconnect there but thank you for answering are there any additional questions from council councilwoman plumi yeah I did have a question um there was a line in there that says um you know basically anything that reduces local control over employee relations issues or mandates newer enhanced local government employee benefits um and then another line that said drives up the costs of municipal elections I mean this is all kind of in the weeds but I'm wondering can we get some examples of what it is that we're we're fighting against here sorry just to clarify you're talking about on page three under opposed legislation for the administration section yeah yeah I'll I'll start in the chair and if you want to jump in you know there were some bills uh last year related to emergency services there was a senate bill that was going to try to mandate uh when employees either had to report to work during a disaster and so that was a bill we were watching and concerned about so some of that language would address our ability to watch that type of legislation and potentially weigh in that was a senator dorazo bill and so I think that was that was one avenue we were we were worried about there um and you know I think it as when we follow local government the assembly local government committee they're oftentimes proposals through that committee that may impact a local government's ability to offer benefits or impact current benefits so that was just language there to cover that potential scenario okay that was actually the example I was going to use as well Scott yeah unfortunately on that on that dorazo senator dorazo bill the bill did change so it was amended pretty significantly and the sit we were okay with those changes and so was cal cities I mean there was numerous local government coalitions watching that bill as an example and unfortunately those amendments were agreed to and it was improved okay and then on the drives up the costs of municipal elections what what was the example on that one sorry to put you on the spot but I know um make sure that we're that was yeah that was language we actually had in last year we kept it in I don't know if the city clerk has any comments on that but my understanding was it was just in relation to the California Voting Rights Act and any sort of state mandates through that in terms of how we would administer any local election without state reimbursement okay so the state wants us to perhaps better adhere to the California Voting Rights Act and for financial reasons we're thinking about opposing that it's a possibility it's just something that we would we've we've seen in the past so it was just safety language for us to evaluate that if we were to come up again yeah and while I really appreciate our opposition to unfunded mandates that's one that I'm you know based on principle I think that we ought to consider removing the the language around municipal elections there and just ask that where where there is regulation about it that the state strongly consider adding funding to support the legislation or regulation rather than opposing it flat out okay okay yeah we can we can remove that okay thank you I don't know Sharon do you have any other comments on that no I was gonna um say the cleanest thing would probably be to remove it rather than get too much in the weeds and if an issue did come up it's something that we can bring to council sounds good thank you thank you are there any additional questions or there's no questions all right we will now go to public comment we have no members of the public in the chambers at this time if you are on zoom and you would like to make a comment please raise your hand seeing no hands uh madam city clerk do we have any voicemails for item 14.3 we have no recorded comment for this item thank you so much bringing it back to council council member rogers can you please put a motion on table sure I'm happy to move approval of the legislative platform for the state with one change I'd like to add in a bullet point on the public safety section to reflect our efforts around sideshows and supporting the folks who are trying to corral that we've we've seen that as a significant issue and I think we should definitely make sure that we fully call that out that's my motion and then I have a couple of comments when appropriate second council member rogers did you also want to incorporate or the subtraction of the language that council member Fleming proposed or yes I saw that as a given but thank you for asking thank you all right so council members who has comments vice mayor mcdonnell thank you mayor just like the last document if you just start on page two under wildfire prevention and recovery hazard mitigation and real resiliency I'd like us to add a bullet to address the state insurance commissioner riccardo lora about the cancellation of fire insurance and rates for those that are living in the wooey and ensuring that we focus on a fair market cost to fire insurance for those living in the city of santa rosa it's been a problem since the cow fire maps have gone out specifically in my district so I'd like us to make sure that we're advocating for that and then also just like in the last document I have advocate for funding for additional funding to be appropriated for emergency areas such as parks to have proper bathrooms and to be properly equipped for emergency use in the event of an evacuation so same language as before just under that same bullet under um let's see under um administration human resources and risk management I hadn't and I don't know if this is the appropriate place for it but I have to advocate for full funding on mandated programs required by state or any government agencies I'm not sure that we get um fully funded for the mandates that the state is requiring for us so I'd like us to start advocating for that they require it they should pay for it and I'm not sure if that's how it works but we should still ask under economic development I have several of them around early childhood education one is to support and advocate for increased funding for childcare early child care programs and increase funding for those in early childhood education industry to advocate and support legislation that incentivizes those going into the child care and early childhood education industry by supporting their education and expanding opportunities for those seeking a career in that industry to support and advocate for full funding for all educational programs impacting families and children to support and advocate for all children and adult nutritional programs to support early childhood literacy and advocate for funding for local libraries and funding for family engagement programs that support literacy and biliteracy programs on page six under water quality and water supply I'd like to advocate for funding for infrastructure improvements at all city water sites under land use planning and housing advocate for a redesign of legislation of redevelopment money under public safety and police to increase funding for restorative justice programs that impact children and youth under fire and emergency services to advocate for funding for infrastructure and building a new fire stations under transportation work with local schools and advocate for safe routes to school grant programs to support children and families walking and riding bikes to school and that's it through the mayor can I ask a clarifying question to the vice mayor for thank you for for the land use section on the redevelopment agency can you just clarify in terms of like restarting that or a new new redevelopment yeah I'd like them to go back since it's not something that they currently do they've gotten rid of it it's not working they're requiring us to do things but I think what we need to do is redesign how it's done and distributed so we need to advocate that we bring that back for something that could work now we need to start talking about it so unless we start advocating for it it's not going to happen okay thank you thank you are there any additional comments from council members I just have a quick clarifying council member oh crepe key yeah I just have a quick clarifying question for the vice mayor in regards to Ricardo Lara the insurance commissioner to the dy what was your request so some of our community members are getting their fire insurance cancelled and their fire insurance is coming back more than doubled than it was last year so I'd like us to advocate with the state insurance commissioner that we address this issue there were things that were done specifically during the emergencies but that has expired and so I think we need to work with him on perhaps a state stepping in to put a cap on how much their fire insurance could go up or address that when the state is making the maps updated that the people in those communities aren't suffering because they're of an unintended consequence are there any additional comments or questions from council saying none I just have one and I believe it's on page for economic development I would like us to advocate for and or take a look at transitional child care programs the income level seemed to be very low so it definitely puts some of our families in our community in a bind when they're not able to afford child care so transitional programs seeing no additional questions or comments we have a motion and we have a second madam city clerk may you please call the vote and for the record I accepted the suggestions from my colleagues thank you council member staff I council member rogers I council member alvarez council member fleming I vice mayor mcdonald I mayor rogers I the motion passes with seven eyes thank you thank you very much yeah moving to item 14.4 this item has been moved to our February 14th meeting so we will not be addressing that item we have completed our public hearings for the night we have no written communications and we will now go to our last public comment on non-agenda matters item 17 there are no members of the public in the chamber if you are on zoom and you would like to make a comment please raise your hand seeing none and there's no voice mills so it looks like this meeting is adjourned thank you so much

A line of severe weather kept emergency crews busy Monday causing significant damage in the area. While Lawrence County experienced the most damage, Pike County had minimal yet problematic damages. We really didn't get any damage out of the storms last night other than a few trees down here and there and some power outages because of the downed trees. Kentucky Power confirmed 675 customers in Pike County were without electricity throughout Monday night. Forecasts predict a continued chance of thunderstorms Tuesday that may lead to isolated flash flooding once again. The severity of the storms would be last night and maybe tonight or this evening sometime. But other than that, I don't think they're expecting anything with any significance. Kentucky Power crews are working to replace multiple broken poles and downed wires. Reporting in Pike County for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.

Ableton on Air is sponsored in part by Green Mountain Support Services, empowering neighbors with disabilities to be at home in the community. Additional support for Ableton on Air is sponsored in part by Washington County Mental Health Services, where hope and support come together. Welcome to this edition. Six years has been focusing on the needs, concerns and achievements of the different people enabled in Vermont and beyond. Thank you to our sponsors. I'm Lauren Seiler. Arlene is off today. And with us to discuss mental health and mental health beds and crisis beds and crisis intervention is Zach Hughes of Washington County Mental Health. Thank you for joining me on this edition of Ableton on Air again for the second time. Thank you. Explain the missions and goals of Washington County Mental Health for those that don't know. Well I can explain it, did that last year, but I'll explain it again. They are really about working with folks and making sure that they can be a very productive part of their community to the best of their ability. Along with other organizations such as NAMRI Vermont and Washington County Mental Health, we're here today to talk about what a crisis is and crisis intervention, what exactly is a crisis and how does Washington County Mental Health really help with that situation? I think that what I'd like to say about crisis is that there's no real, I think everyone's crisis is a little different. My crisis could be different than maybe yours or... Can you give me an example of a crisis? Well I think a crisis for somebody is that they're not able to do what they want to do with their life, that they're stuck in a spot. They can't get out of that spot or they're not able to do that at that time. I think when people don't enjoy life, that becomes a, for them that could be considered a crisis, but I think a crisis for somebody is just being outside, well outside of where they would be. Out of their comfort zone. That's right and I want to caution because people go outside their comfort zones in positive reasonings, but there are things where if people are not enjoying their life anymore, that's a concern and if people aren't able to function adequately and I'm not talking about just because I've heard people that, well the community expects me to do this, but it's more do I enjoy my life is what I'm doing, sleeping all day, a good thing. Well sometimes if I'm tired one day I'll sleep. Right, but I think that crisis can be brought on by a number of things, I just want to give some examples in my life. It could be brought on by really, really bad news or unexpected news such as changes in my life. Relationships are a great example, I see that a lot. People who lose friends, that can trigger something. They're just starting to really look at trauma and if you've kind of talked about that with other folks, but trauma is starting to be recognized now, whereas it wasn't really. How so? How exactly? What's being looked at a lot closer, I know Washington County Mental Health looks at it very closely, all staff there are required when they join to take a course that we have training, that's three hours long. It's a one-time training that we have to take. We were discussing it a lot more, I for myself am recognizing that there is stuff in my life that could be considered trauma. You're getting bad news and you're still kind of going over it a year later, that's not a one-time thing. I think that's an important thing. Okay, crisis intervention and crisis beds. We deal with, I remember when Crocker was on the show last year, can you explain the different things now or the better things that Washington County is dealing with the crisis beds? Is there enough crisis beds? Is there not enough? I would love to elaborate on this issue because the crisis beds come in a different variety of services and what I want to see about the crisis beds right now, there are alternatives right now to hospitalization and the emergency room, particularly the news around people being stuck in the emergency room. What do you mean by being stuck in the emergency room? I'm sorry, I should clarify. That's fine, go ahead. Some folks, so say I go into the emergency room for a mental health issue and there's not a bed to serve me upstairs, I could be stuck in the emergency room for days or weeks. An example, New York has Bellevue Hospital. I know for years there's been issues with crisis beds in places like that but can you explain a little bit more about the history of that because? Crisis beds because years ago they used to be institutionalized. Yes, so that's a great thing. So the crisis bed is an alternative to hospitalization. We now have, as you were aware of last year, we did a show on generally Washington County and the Maple House crisis bed at Washington County, but that's a peer bed. But there are other types of crisis beds and they serve as an alternative to hospitalization because nobody wants to really go into hospital. So maybe they go to a crisis bed for a few days or in some cases a couple weeks. Has it lasted longer than that, months? Yes, yes. There's been a few, yeah that's true, actually you're right Larry, there have been a few instances of a few months in a crisis bed but again the crisis bed serves as an alternative to an emergency room and I would much prefer somebody who could be in a crisis bed, be in a crisis bed than sitting up in the emergency room. So a crisis bed, so what is a place to sleep, a place to eat? Well that sounds all good but the crisis bed is that plus it provides support. Like the Washington County program, the home intervention program provides that support that you just mentioned, the eat and sleep thing, the TV thing, but it also provides they're able to, they have nursing there, they have, can they help somebody, the person who wants to find a job? It would be done through their service at the agency so the case manager in the agency would help them with that, through our, you know, an employee specialist employment. No, I know Vermont from what I understand, I think it's through CVH, Vermont, does it have a psychiatric center, do you guys work closely with them? Vermont has a, yes, Vermont has a psychiatric hospital next to CVH. Do you guys work closely with them? Well I think we work closely if our people go in there and I also believe in our screening team, which is the emergency screening team, provides screenings for folks who have to go in there, because that psychiatric hospital requirement is involuntary. So what do you mean by, what's the difference between voluntary and involuntary? Oh good question Larry. So I can voluntarily admit myself to Central Vermont Hospital. And involuntary would be if I was held against my will. Because you're harming yourself? I'm a risk for others as well. What do you mean by risk for others? I mean a risk of harming other people. So if I say I'm going to kill six people, or if I'm going to go out and do something, then that's, you know, but the other thing that tends to happen is the risk of harming myself. Okay, that'll, that'll, that could turn into an involuntary situation. But I think our general, you know, purpose is to keep it, if we can, voluntary. But not everybody wants to be held against their will, and it'll be in a hospital. And sometimes it has to get down that route. I certainly don't like that idea. In terms of crisis intervention, if someone has to go to a hospital, what did it, like, a 72, I'm sure Vermont has a 72 out of a whole situation. Vermont has a, does have a 72-hour hold. Can you explain what that is? Yes, I can. I can a little bit. What happens is, and I don't have the material in front of me, but what happens is, if I'm held, if I want to be held, and not want to be held, if someone wants, if someone feels unprofessional, stop at the hospital, doctor, if I'm at risk, or screener, if I'm at risk of harming myself or others. What do they do? They do papers. No, but they take your belt away, they take your keys, they take anything sharp away from you. That's right. Yeah. Your shoes. Yes. Yeah. So, you know, you could actually, they do, you know, paperwork, but there's a process. You have to be, you know, you have to have a screening done by the, by a designated agency who has the screeners, Washington County is one of them, and these are outside folks who come in and, you know, screen me and make sure that I need to be in the hospital. Maybe I don't. And that's, and then they do papers that are set. And another doctor, besides the doctor referring, has to also be part of that process. So there's a huge process to get, not huge, but it's, it's not just your relative can have you committed anymore. I remember, I always had to say, you know, Joe, so, you know, I used to do a training exercise called the Auntie Lulu Exercise where we take Aunt Lulu to the hospital, drop her off. And that's just not how that happens anymore. There's a lot more rights to it. And, you know, Nami, who you just, you know, you just interviewed Nami, Nami has, you know, they do a lot of work in that area as well. Can you explain a little bit more about the history of, like, how people with mental illness or mental illnesses were treated back then versus now? Is it, is it a better system now than it was? I think it is a better system now than it was. How so? Because there's a lot more people out in the community able to do their thing, contribute to society, work in society, and not be stuck in a 1,500 bed hospital. 1,500. That was at its peak, around 1,500 at the state hospital in Waterbury. And they closed due to the flood and the Irene, the tropical storm Irene. And then they made it less beds? They opened the, well, they ended up opening a temporary hospital in Morrisville. And then they opened the psychiatric center in, which they discontinued the hospital in Morrisville and they opened the psychiatric center here in Berlin. And that, that has 25 beds. And just before the state hospital closed in Waterbury, they had 54 beds. But at its peak, Vermont state hospital had 1,500 or so patients. This was a while back. As far as language, that was used around mental illness or mental challenges. How has language changed? They don't use certain words that they used to use. No, they don't. The doctors don't use it. Right. They don't. They don't use those words for the most part. In fact, Vermont state laws were, the wording in the statutes in the books, law books, was changed as well. A great example was they used to use the terminology of lunatic and crazy in the books. They did change that. So it's been changed. And doctors, what I worry about with doctors, with people now, particularly, you know, I come in the peer support world is that we, peer support folks, try to stay away from using clinical terms. So I really don't like the idea of trying to diagnose anybody. I don't. We're just as normal as everybody is. That's right. Yes. Yes. Why, in terms of peer support, why are you training peer support people not to use certain language? Because, well, I'll tell you, it's real easy to fall into the language because that's where most of us came from, you know, where we would go to get our services, our case managers, and, you know, it's easy to say, yeah, he's got, here she's got schizophrenia or I think he's bipolar, needs to be on his meds. That's, you know, that's not good for folks like us, like myself, who are trying to, you know, do something a bit different than I'm not a doctor. And I'm not in the medical profession and I'm not required to follow professional, you know, I don't have to do those professional things. I can be professional, but that's something I've always kind of cringed at around, you know, when we talk about really quick here, when we talk about the idea of, you know, funding sources, including the idea of using Medicaid or dollars to do peer support. One of my concerns is that we would fall into a category where we'd have to do notes and a lot of big notes, you know, and case notes, yeah. And I do have, I will admit, we do notes, but now, but they're not these big notes that I've seen in my office where, you know, where in the crisis bed world, we have to, we do have access to notes. For example, crisis situations. Are you under the State of Vermont known, or are you known as a mandated reporter? Yes, I am. Okay. Can you explain in terms of crisis, what exactly a mandated reporter does within the crisis world? In the crisis world, well, a mandated report could be, you know, if I suspect or witness a situation that has to do with child abuse and neglect, or in the adult world, somebody who has a friend, has a so-called friend staying with them who is exploiting them through any means. An exploitation is, I'm borrowing your money all the time, I'm sucking your resources. Scams. Scams. Well, scams. Yeah. But Larry, you know, you call me up and you say, ah, I just gave $200 to my friend. He stayed with me, and then, oh, I have no food though now, Larry, and I'm really, he asked me for another $200, so I gave it to him. That's, that could be heading for exploitation. Well, those scams now, someone claims to be from the Social Security Administration. Right. Or the IRS. Right. You know. Now, the other part of many reporting in a crisis is if the person tells me, and I've had to do this in the last year, but a person who tells me that they're going to go somewhere and do some harm to other people or themselves, and I have a reason to believe that they're actually going to carry it out, I'm required to report it. And you know, I can report it to the people who are going to be affected or I can call law enforcement. Or both. Or both. And how does your agency, how does Washington County work with law enforcement when it comes to crisis? Well, they have a, well, that's a great question, Larry, and they have a great relationship with Washington County. I think it's much more improved than 20 or 30 years ago. But I think that, particularly our Montpelier Police Department, but other police departments also have a great working relationship. I've noticed that Barry Police Department also has a great working relationship with them. But I think that that's a good thing to have that ability and not, but I'll tell you, crisis and law enforcement, as far as if Joe Public is in crisis and a cop comes in, the issue with cops in crisis, with Joe Public, who is in crisis, it could exasperate Joe's mental health right there, it could cross a bigger, you know, there's something about law enforcement. We all have been through this. I don't know if you have, but I've run into a couple issues with law enforcement itself, but I respect them. But when you're on the other end of that spectrum of the cop shows up at your house and wants to know about this or calls you up out of the blue. And so as I need to just check something and you go on guard, you know, somehow there's always this, and then there are people who had plainly told me, please do not call the cops. I'll do whatever you need me to do, but don't call the police. Others tell me they don't care and the police come anyway. But you know, generally, I think, and you're a caring person and you have to help those that need help. Yes. Now, boundaries in a crisis. How important is, okay, a person says, oh, I'm having a meltdown, I'm having this crisis, I'm having that crisis. How do you know when and if to step back as far as the boundaries are concerned when you're dealing with a crisis? I have actually had a situation. Oh, that's not a bad question. No, it's, there's never a bad question. I, when I worked on the peer line, I used to have a gentleman who called me, he was quite... You don't have to mention names. Nope, we don't do that. But I will just say this gentleman used to call me. He was upset because one of our workers told their story, which we don't mind him telling stories, but this was, in telling the story, it traumatized this gentleman a little bit. So what happened was he was quite, you know, every call was, you know, about this. And at some point I had to kind of challenge him and say, is there somebody else you can talk to about this because there's not much I can do about it. I've listened to you. There's a point where you say, and it's very rare for me, but there's a point where I will say to the person, is there's someone else you can talk to? Because I can't, you know, I cannot help you with this. You know, we've been through this and I don't say like that, I'm very polite. But I felt bad for this gentleman and then he had told me, no, he hadn't seen a counselor in 18 years, but out there after he kind of stopped talking about it with me because I think he recognized that we'd reached our point. So if you can't help somebody, you either tell them to go to someone else? I will. I never tell them. I suggest to them that they go somewhere else. I don't tell them to go, I suggest that they go away from our service. I just, what I say to them is, is there's somebody you can talk to about this, maybe a counselor or something, maybe somebody who can kind of help you work through that. I think there are limitations to what I can do in certain situations. And then the same thing with a crisis situation. My goal in each crisis situation is to either facilitate it so the person feels safe enough to move to the next step to get the help that they need or desire or, you know, make sure that everybody feels as safe as we can. And that might be include that my goal is to de-escalate the crisis. Last question? Sure. De-escalation, I think I'm saying it right, to de-escalate a situation in a crisis. Define de-escalate and what does that mean? So my, when I wanted to de-escalate, my goal is to, well, getting the person to kind of, you know, come back center. So there are, a lot of people I've dealt with are angry about something. I'm talking softly and they're up here, Zach, I think this is okay. And my goal is to say, okay, Joe, I need you to, you know, we need to look at this a little more or something. We're very... I'll give you an example and if we go a little bit over, it's fine. In New York, and we can show a piece of this video to the editing, in New York somebody walked into a bagel shop and it was on the news. I want a cinnamon raisin bagel right now, you know, and everybody's looking at them, right? They're yelling at the top of their lungs, right? So in a situation like that, if someone is yelling at you, you can't help them by having them yell at you. Is there a way to de-escalate a situation if, in public, for example, someone's yelling and screaming and they might have a challenge, how do you de-escalate a situation? It depends on the situation, depends on if the person's willing to come down. It might be as simple as, you know, in your city, you want something, so it's okay. So how can we get that for you? Or I cannot do that for you right now, but let's try this. And it's... Are you doing it in a very soft, very soft approach? I think one of my goals is to always try to stay calm. I always joke about it, well one of us has to stay calm, you know, because the reality, you know, and I'm not, there are times when I used to, you know, I think it's a challenging thing because you have someone yelling and then some people think it's yelling at them, so they both get yelling. And my goal is to get that situation, you know, under control. But there may be a time also where I'm not able to do that and they don't care. They want their cinnamon bun or whatever that was that you mentioned and they don't care about my attempts. And so then that's where I see law enforcement sometimes has to get involved or, you know, and that's a sad day when that has to happen because I really, you know, I know we're about over time, but I used to deal with people, I've dealt with people who also what I called ranting where they get angry and they say things in a public space. And I always hated, I always used to think, well, if they just were allowed to rant and we left them alone they're okay. But you know, occasionally, you know, they'd rant and law enforcement would have to get involved because it got out of hand. Thank you for joining me on this. And thank you.

CHAPTER XVI A CHILD HISTORY OF INGLAND CHAPTER XVI It was now the year of our Lord, 1272, and Prince Edward, the heir to the throne, being away in the Holy Land, knew nothing of his father's death. The barons, however, proclaimed him king immediately after the royal funeral, and the people very willingly consented, since most men knew too well by this time what the horrors of a contest for the crown were. So King Edward I called, in a not very complementary manner, long shanks, because of the slenderness of his legs, was peacefully accepted by the English nation. His legs had need to be strong, however long and thin they were, for they had to support him through many difficulties on the fiery sands of Asia, where his small force of soldiers fainted, died, deserted, and seemed to melt away. But his prowess made light of it, and he said, I will go on, if I go on with no other follower than my groom. A prince of this spirit gave the Turks a deal of trouble. He stormed Nazareth, at which place, of all places on earth, I am sorry to relate, he made a frightful slaughter of innocent people, and then he went to Acre, where he got a truce of ten years from the Sultan. He had very nearly lost his life in Acre, through the treachery of a Saracen noble called the Emir of Jaffa, who, making the pretense that he had some idea of turning Christian and wanted to know all about that religion, sent a trusty messenger to Edward very often, with a dagger in his sleeve. At last one Friday in Whitsun week, when it was very hot, and all the sandy prospect lay beneath the blazing sun, burnt up like a great overdone biscuit, and Edward was lying on a couch, dressed for coolness in only a loose robe. The messenger, with his chocolate-colored face, and his bright dark eyes and white teeth, came creeping in with a letter, and kneeled down like a tame tiger. But the moment Edward stretched out his hand to take the letter, the tiger made a spring at his heart. He was quick, but Edward was quick too. He seized the trader by his chocolate throat, threw him to the ground, and slew him with the very dagger he had drawn. The weapon had struck Edward in the arm, and although the wound itself was slight, it threatened to be mortal, for the blade of the dagger had been smeared with poison. Thanks, however, to a better surgeon than was often to be found in those times, and to some wholesome herbs, and above all to his faithful wife Eleanor, who devotedly nursed him, and is said by some to have sucked the poison from the wound with her own red lips, which I am very willing to believe, Edward soon recovered, and was sound again. As the king his father had sent in treaties to him to return home, he now began the journey. He had got as far as Italy when he met messengers who brought him intelligence of the king's death. Seeing that all was quiet at home, he made no haste to return to his own dominions, but paid a visit to the pope, and went in state through various Italian towns, where he was welcomed with acclamations as a mighty champion of the cross from the Holy Land, and where he received presence of purple mantles and prancing horses, and went along in great triumph. The shouting people little knew that he was the last English monarch who would ever embark in a crusade, or that within twenty years every conquest which the Christians had made in the Holy Land, at the cost of so much blood, would be won back by the Turks. But all this came to pass. There was, and there is, an old town standing in a plain in France, called Chalon. When the king was coming towards this place on his way to England, a wily French lord, called the Count of Chalon, sent him a polite challenge to come with his knights and hold a fair tournament with the Count and his knights, and make a day of it with sword and lance. It was represented to the king that the Count of Chalon was not to be trusted, and that, instead of a holiday fight for mere show, and in good humour, he secretly meant a real battle, in which the English should be defeated by superior force. The king, however, nothing afraid, went to the appointed place on the appointed day with a thousand followers. When the Count came with two thousand and attacked the English in earnest, the English rushed at them with such valor that the Count's men and the Count's horses soon began to be tumbled down all over the field. The Count himself seized the king round the neck, but the king tumbled him out of his saddle in return for the compliment, and, jumping from his own horse and standing over him, beat away at his iron armour like a blacksmith hammering on his anvil. Even when the Count owned himself defeated and offered his sword, the king would not do him the honour to take it, but made him yield it up to a common soldier. There had been such fury shown in this fight that it was afterwards called the Little Battle of Chalon. The English were very well disposed to be proud of their king after these adventures, though when he landed at Dover in the year 1274, being then thirty-six years old, and went on to Westminster, where he and his good queen were crowned with great magnificence, splendid rejoicings took place. For the coronation feast there were provided, among other eatables, four hundred oxen, four hundred sheep, four hundred and fifty pigs, eighteen wild boars, three hundred flitches of bacon, and twenty thousand fowls. The fountains and conduits in the street flowed with red and white wine, instead of water. The rich citizens hung silks and cloths of the brightest colours out of their windows to increase the beauty of the show, and threw out gold and silver by whole handfuls to make scrambles for the crowd. In short, there was such eating and drinking, such music and capering, such a ringing of bells and tossing of caps, such as shouting and singing and reveling, as the narrow overhanging streets of old London city had not witnessed for many a long day. All the people were merry, except the poor Jews, who, trembling within their houses, and scarcely daring to peep out, began to foresee that they would have to find the money for this joviality sooner or later. To dismiss the sad subject of the Jews for the present, I am sorry to add that in this rain they were most unmercifully pillaged. They were hanged in great numbers on accusations of having clipped the king's coin, which all kinds of people had done. They were heavily taxed, they were disgracefully badged, they were, on one day, thirteen years after the coronation, taken up with their wives and children, and thrown into beastly prisons, until they purchased their release by paying to the king twelve thousand pounds. Finally, every kind of property belonging to them was seized by the king, except so little as would defray the charge of their taking themselves away into foreign countries. Many years elapsed before the hope of gain induced any of their race to return to England, where they had been treated so heartlessly, and had suffered so much. If King Edward I had been as bad a king to Christians as he was to Jews, he would have been bad indeed. But he was, in general, a wise and great monarch, under whom the country much improved. He had no love for the great charter, few kings had, through many, many years, but he had high qualities. The first bold object which he conceived when he came home was to unite under one sovereign England, Scotland, and Wales, the two last of which countries had each a little king of its own, about whom the people were always quarreling and fighting, and making a prodigious disturbance, a great deal more than he was worth. In the course of King Edward's reign he was engaged, besides, in a war with France. To make these quarrels clearer, we will separate their histories, and take them thus. Wales First, France Second, Scotland Third Llewellyn was the Prince of Wales. He had been on the side of the barons in the reign of the stupid old king, but had afterwards sworn allegiance to him. When King Edward came to the throne, Llewellyn was required to swear allegiance to him also, which he refused to do. The king being crowned, and in his own dominions, three times more required Llewellyn to come and do homage, and three times more Llewellyn said he would rather not. He was going to be married to Eleanor de Montfort, a young lady of the family mentioned in the last reign, and it chanced that this young lady, coming from France with her youngest brother Emerick, was taken by an English ship, and was ordered by the English king to be detained. Upon this the quarrel came to a head. The king went, with his fleet, to the coast of Wales, where, so encompassing Llewellyn, that he could only take refuge in the bleak mountain of Snowden, in which no provisions could reach him. He was soon starved into an apology, and into a treaty of peace, and into paying the expenses of the war. The king, however, forgave him some of the hardest conditions of the treaty, and consented to his marriage, and he now thought he had reduced Wales to obedience. But the Welsh, although they were naturally a gentle, quiet, pleasant people, who liked to receive strangers in their cottages among the mountains, and to set before them with free hospitality whatever they had to eat and drink, and to play to them on their harps, and sing their native ballads to them, were a people of great spirit when their blood was up. Englishmen after this affair began to be insolent in Wales, and to assume the air of masters, and the Welsh pride could not bear it. Moreover they believed in that unlucky old Merlin, some of whose unlucky old prophecies somebody always seemed doomed to remember, when there was a chance of its doing harm. And just at this time, some blind old gentleman with a harp and a long white beard, who was an excellent person, but had become of an unknown age and tedious, burst out with a declaration that Merlin had predicted that when English money had become round, a prince of Wales would be crowned in London. Now King Edward had recently forbidden the English penny to be cut into halves and quarters for half-pence and farthings, and had actually introduced a round coin. Therefore the Welsh people said this was the time Merlin meant, and rose accordingly. King Edward had brought over Prince David, Lou Allen's brother, by heaping favours upon him. But he was the first to revolt, being perhaps troubled in his conscience. One stormy night he surprised the castle of Howardan, in possession of which an English nobleman had been left, killed the whole garrison, and carried off the nobleman a prisoner to Snowden. Upon this the Welsh people rose like one man. King Edward, with his army, marching from Worcester to the Minnae Strait, crossed it. Near to where the wonderful tubular iron bridge now, in days so different, makes a passage for railway trains, by a bridge of boats that enabled forty men to march abreast, he subdued the island of Anglesey, and sent his men forward to observe the enemy. The sudden appearance of the Welsh created a panic among them, and they fell back to the bridge. The tide had, in the meantime, risen, and separated the boats. The Welsh pursuing them, they were driven into the sea, and there they sunk, in their heavy iron armour, by thousands. After this victory Llewellyn, helped by the severe winter weather of Wales, gained another battle. But the king, ordering a portion of his English army to advance through south Wales, and catch him between two foes, and Llewellyn bravely turning to meet this new enemy, he was surprised, and killed, very meanly, for he was unarmed and defenceless. His head was struck off and sent to London, where it was fixed upon the tower, encircled with a wreath, some say of ivy, some say of willow, some say of silver, to make it look like a ghastly coin in ridicule of the prediction. David, however, still held out for six months, though eagerly sought after by the king, and hunted by his own countrymen. One of them finally betrayed him with his wife and children. He was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, and from that time this became the established punishment of traitors in England, a punishment wholly without excuse as being revolting, vile, and cruel, after its object is dead, and which has no sense in it, as its only real degradation, and that nothing can blot out, is to the country that permits on any consideration such abominable barbarity. Wales was now subdued, the queen giving birth to a young prince in the castle of Carnarvon. The king showed him to the Walsh people as their countrymen, and called him Prince of Wales, a title that has ever since been borne by the heir apparent to the English throne, which that little prince soon became by the death of his elder brother. The king did better things for the Walsh than that, by improving their laws and encouraging their trade. Houses still took place, chiefly occasioned by the avarice and pride of the English lords, on whom Walsh lands and castles had been bestowed. But they were subdued, and the country never rose again. There was a legend that to prevent the people from being incited to rebellion by the songs of their bards and harpers, Edward had them all put to death. Some of them may have fallen among other men who held out against the king, but this general slaughter is, I think, a fancy of the harpers themselves, who, I dare say, made a song about it many years afterwards, and sang it by the Walsh firesides, until it came to be believed. The foreign war of the reign of Edward I arose in this way. The crews of two vessels, one a Norman ship, and the other, an English ship, happened to go to the same place in their boats to fill their casks with fresh water. Being rough, angry fellows, they began to quarrel, and then to fight, the English with their fists, the Normans with their knives, and in the fight a Norman was killed. The Norman crew, instead of revenging themselves upon those English sailors with whom they had quarreled, who were too strong for them, I suspect, took to their ship again in a great rage, attacked the first English ship they met, laid hold of an unoffending merchant who happened to be on board, and brutally hanged him in the rigging of their own vessel, with a dog at his feet. This so enraged the English sailors, that there was no restraining them, and whenever, and wherever, English sailors met Norman sailors, they fell upon each other tooth and nail. The Irish and Dutch sailors took part with the English, the French, and G&E sailors helped the Normans, and thus the greater part of the mariners sailing over the sea became in their way, as violent and raging as the sea itself, when it is disturbed. King Edward's fame had been so high abroad that he had been chosen to decide a difference between France and another foreign power, and had lived upon the continent three years. At first neither he nor the French King Philip, the good Louis had been dead some time, interfered in these quarrels, but when a fleet of eighty English ships engaged and utterly defeated a Norman fleet of two hundred, in a pitched battle fought round a ship at anchor, in which no quarter was given, the matter became too serious to be passed over. King Edward, as Duke of Guyenne, was summoned to present himself before the King of France, at Paris, and answer for the damage done by his sailor subjects. At first he sent the Bishop of London as his representative, and then his brother Edmund, who was married to the French Queen's mother. I am afraid Edmund was an easy man, and allowed himself to be talked over by his charming relations, the French court-ladies. At all events he was induced to give up his brother's dukedom for forty days. As a mere form the French King said to satisfy his honour, and he was so very much astonished, when the time was out, to find that the French King had no idea of giving it up again, that I should not wonder if it hastened his death, which soon took place. King Edward was a king to win his foreign dukedom back, if it could be won by energy and valor. He raised a large army, renounced his allegiance as Duke of Guyenne, and crossed the sea to carry war into France. Before any important battle was fought, however, a truce was agreed upon for two years, and in the course of that time the pope affected a reconciliation. King Edward, who was now a widower, having lost his affectionate and good wife Eleanor, married the French King's sister, Margaret, and the Prince of Wales was contracted to the French King's daughter, Isabella. Out of bad things, good things sometimes arise. Out of this hanging of the innocent merchant, and the bloodshed and strife it caused, there came to be established one of the greatest powers that the English people now possess. The preparations for the war being very expensive, and King Edward greatly wanting money, and being very arbitrary in his ways of raising it, some of the barons began firmly to oppose him. Two of them, in particular, Humphrey Bohan, Earl of Herford, and Roger Bigwood, Earl of Norfolk, were so stout against him that they maintained he had no right to command them to head his forces in Guyenne, and flatly refused to go there. By heaven, Sir Earl, said the King to the Earl of Herford, in a great passion, you shall either go or be hanged. By heaven, Sir King, replied the Earl, I will neither go nor yet will I be hanged, and both he and the other Earl sturdily left the court, attended by many lords. The King tried every means of raising money. He taxed the clergy, in spite of all the Pope said to the contrary, and when they refused to pay, reduced them to submission, by saying very well, then they had no claim upon the government for protection, and any man might plunder them who would, which a good many men were very ready to do, and very readily did, and which the clergy found too losing a game to be played at long. He seized all the wool and leather in the hands of the merchants, promising to pay for it some fine day, and he set attacks upon the exploitation of wool, which was so unpopular among the traders, that it was called the Evil Toll, but all would not do. The barons, led by those two great earls, declared any taxes imposed without the consent of Parliament unlawful, and the Parliament refused to impose taxes, until the King should confirm afresh the two great charters, and should solemnly declare in writing that there was no power in the country to raise money from the people ever more, but the power of Parliament representing all ranks of the people. The King was very unwilling to diminish his own power by allowing this great privilege in the Parliament, but there was no help for it, and he at last complied. We shall come to another King by and by, who might have saved his head from rolling off if he had profited by this example. The people gained other benefits in Parliament from the good sense and wisdom of this King. Many of the laws were much improved, provision was made for the greater safety of travellers, and the apprehension of thieves and murderers, the priests were prevented from holding too much land, and so becoming too powerful, and justices of the peace were first appointed, though not at first under that name, in various parts of the country. And now we come to Scotland, which was the great and lasting trouble of the reign of King Edward I. About thirteen years after King Edward's coronation, Alexander III, the King of Scotland, died of a fall from his horse. He had been married to Margaret, King Edward's sister. All their children being dead, the Scottish crown became the right of a young princess, only eight years old, the daughter of Eric, King of Norway, who had married a daughter of the deceased sovereign. King Edward proposed that the maiden of Norway, as this princess was called, should be engaged to be married to his eldest son. But unfortunately, as she was coming over to England, she fell sick, and landing on one of the Orkney Islands, died there. A great commotion immediately began in Scotland, whereas many is thirteen noisy claimants to the vacant throne started up and made a general confusion. King Edward, being much renowned for his sagacity and justice, it seems to have been agreed to refer the dispute to him. He accepted the trust, and went with an army to the borderland, where England and Scotland joined. There he called upon the Scottish gentleman to meet him at the castle of Norham, on the English side of the River Tweed, and to that castle they came. But before he would take any step in the business, he required those Scottish gentlemen, one and all, to do homage to him as their superior Lord, and when they hesitated he said, by holy Edward, whose crown I wear, I will have my rights, or I will die in maintaining them. The Scottish gentleman, who had not expected this, were disconcerted, and asked for three weeks to think about it. At the end of three weeks another meeting took place on a green plain on the Scottish side of the River. Of all the competitors for the Scottish throne there were only two who had any real claim in right of their near kindred to the royal family. These were John Baliel and Robert Bruce, and the right was, I have no doubt, on the side of John Baliel. At this particular meeting John Baliel was not present, but Robert Bruce was, and on Robert Bruce being formally asked whether he acknowledged the King of England for his superior Lord, he answered, plainly and distinctly, yes, he did. Next day John Baliel appeared, and said the same. This point settled some arrangements were made for inquiring into their titles. The inquiry occupied a pretty long time, more than a year. While it was going on King Edward took the opportunity of making a journey through Scotland, and calling upon the Scottish people of all degrees to acknowledge themselves his vassals, or be imprisoned until they did. And meanwhile commissioners were appointed to conduct the inquiry. A parliament was held at Berwick about it. The two claimants were heard at full length, and there was a vast amount of talking. At last in the great hall of the castle of Berwick the King gave judgment in favour of John Baliel, who, consenting to receive his crown by the King of England's favour and permission, was crowned at Scone, in an old stone chair which had been used for ages in the Abbey there, at the coronations of Scottish kings. Then King Edward caused the great seal of Scotland, used since the late king's death, to be broken in four pieces, and placed in the English treasury, and considered that he now had Scotland, according to the common saying, under his thumb. Scotland had a strong will of its own yet, however. King Edward determined that the Scottish king should not forget he was his vassal, summoned him repeatedly to come and defend himself and his judges, before the English parliament, when appeals from the decisions of Scottish courts of justice were being heard. At length John Baliel, who had no great heart of his own, had so much heart put into him by the brave spirit of the Scottish people, who took this as a national insult, that he refused to come any more. Thereupon the king further required him to help him in his war abroad, which was then in progress, and to give up a security for his good behaviour in future, the three strong Scottish castles of Jedburg, Roxburgh, and Berwick. Nothing of this being done. On the contrary the Scottish people concealing their king among their mountains in the highlands, and showing indetermination to resist. Edward marched to Berwick, with an army of thirty thousand foot, and four thousand horse, took the castle, and slew its whole garrison and the inhabitants of the town as well, men, women, and children. Lord Warren, Earl of Surrey, then went on to the castle of Dunbar, before which a battle was fought, and the whole Scottish army defeated with great slaughter. The victory being complete, the Earl of Surrey was left as guardian of Scotland. The principal offices in that kingdom were given to Englishmen. The more powerful Scottish nobles were obliged to come and live in England. The Scottish crown and scepter were brought away, and even the old stone chair was carried off, and placed in Westminster Abbey, where you may see it now. Baliel had the Tower of London lent him for a residence, with permission to range about it within a circle of twenty miles. Three years afterwards he was allowed to go to Normandy, where he had a state, and where he passed the remaining six years of his life. Four more happily, I dare say, than he had lived for a long while in angry Scotland. Now there was in the west of Scotland a gentleman of small fortune named William Wallace, the second son of a Scottish knight. He was a man of great size and great strength. He was very brave and daring. When he spoke to a body of his countrymen, he could rouse them in a wonderful manner by the power of his burning words. He loved Scotland dearly, and he hated England with his utmost might. The domineering conduct of the English, who now held the places of trust in Scotland, made them as intolerable to the proud Scottish people as they had been under similar circumstances to the Welsh. And no man in all Scotland regarded them with so much smothered rage as William Wallace. One day an Englishman in office, little knowing what he was, affronted him. Wallace instantly struck him dead, and taking refuge among the rocks and hills, and there joining with his countrymen Sir William Douglas, who was also in arms against King Edward, became the most resolute and undaunted champion of the people struggling for their independence that ever lived upon the earth. The English guardian of the kingdom fled before him, and thus encouraged the Scottish people revolted everywhere, and fell upon the English without mercy. The Earl of Surrey, by the king's commands, raised all the power of the border counties, and two English armies poured into Scotland. Only one chief, in the face of those armies, stood by Wallace, who, with a force of forty thousand men, awaited the invaders at a place on the River Forth, within two miles of Stirling. Across the river there was only one poor wooden bridge, called the Bridge of Kildeen, so narrow that but two men could cross it abreast. With his eyes upon this bridge, Wallace posted the greater part of his men among some rising grounds, and waited calmly. When the English army came up on the opposite bank of the river, messengers were sent forward to offer terms. Wallace sent them back with a defiance in the name of the freedom of Scotland. Some of the officers of the Earl of Surrey, in command of the English, with their eyes also on the bridge, advised him to be discreet and not hasty. He, however, urged to immediate battle by some other officers, and particularly by crossing him, King Edward's treasurer, and a rash man, gave the word of command to advance. One thousand English crossed the bridge, two abreast, the Scottish troops were as motionless as stone images. Two thousand English crossed, three thousand, four thousand, five. Not a feather all this time had been seen to stir among the Scottish bonnets. Now they all fluttered. Forward one party to the foot of the bridge, cried Wallace, and let no more English cross, the rest down with me on the five thousand who have come over, and cut them all to pieces. It was done in the sight of the whole remainder of the English army, who could give no help. Crescing him himself was killed, and the Scotch made whips for their horses of his skin. King Edward was abroad at this time, and during the successes on the Scottish side which followed, and which enabled bold Wallace to win the whole country back again, and even to ravage the English borders. But after a few winter months, the king returned, and took the field with more than his usual energy. One night when a kick from his horse, as they both lay on the ground together, broke two of his ribs, and a cry arose that he was killed, he leaped into a saddle, regardless of the pain he suffered, and rode through the camp. Day then appearing, he gave the word, still of course, in that bruised and aching state, forward, and led his army on to near Falkirk, where the Scottish forces were seen drawn up on some stony ground behind a morass. Here he defeated Wallace, and killed fifteen thousand of his men. With the shattered remainder, Wallace drew back to Stirling. But being pursued, set fire to the town, and it might give no help to the English, and escaped. The inhabitants of Perth afterwards set fire to their houses for the same reason, and the king, unable to find provisions, was forced to withdraw his army. Another Robert Bruce, the grandson of him who had disputed the Scottish crown with Baliel, was now in arms against the king, that elder Bruce being dead, and also John Coman, Baliel's nephew. These two young men might agree in opposing Edward, but could agree in nothing else, as they were rivals for the throne of Scotland. Only it was because they knew this, and knew what troubles must arise, even if they could hope to get the better of the great English king, that the principal Scottish people applied to the pope for his interference. The pope, on the principle of losing nothing for want of trying to get it, very coolly claimed that Scotland belonged to him, but this was a little too much, and the parliament in a friendly manner told him so. In the springtime of the year 1303 the king sent Sir John Seagrave, whom he made Governor of Scotland, with twenty thousand men, to reduce the rebels. Sir John was not as careful as he should have been, but encamped at Roslyn, near Edinburgh, with his army divided into three parts. The Scottish forces saw their advantage, fell in each part separately, defeated each, and killed all the prisoners. When came the king himself once more, as soon as a great army could be raised, he passed through the whole north of Scotland, laying waste whatsoever came in his way, and he took up his winter quarters at Dunfermline. The Scottish cause now looked so hopeless that Coman and the other nobles made submission and received their pardons, while us alone stood out. He was invited to surrender, though on no distinct pledge that his life should be spared, but he still defied the ireful king, and lived among the steep crags of the Highland Glens, where the eagles made their nests, and where the mountain torrents roared, and the white snow was deep, and the bitter winds blew round his unsheltered head, as he lay through many a pitch-dark night wrapped up in his plaid. Nothing could break his spirit, nothing could lower his courage, nothing could induce him to forget or to forgive his country's wrongs. Even when the castle of Stirling, which had long held out, was besieged by the king with every kind of military engine than in use, even when the lead upon cathedral roofs was taken down to help to make them, even when the king, though an old man, commanded in the siege as if he were a youth, being so resolved to conquer, even when the brave garrison, then found with amazement to be not two hundred people, including several ladies, were starved and beaten out, and were made to submit on their knees, and with every form of disgrace that could aggravate their sufferings, even then, when there was not a ray of hope in Scotland, William Wallace was as proud and firm as if he had beheld the powerful and relentless Edward lying dead at his feet. Who betrayed William Wallace in the end is not quite certain, that he was betrayed, probably by an attendant, is too true. He was taken to the castle of Dumbarton, under Sir John Menteeth, and thence to London, where the great fame of his bravery and resolution attracted immense concourses of people to behold him. He was tried in Westminster Hall, with a crown of laurel on his head. It is supposed because he was reported to have said that he ought to wear, or that he would wear, a crown there, and was found guilty as a robber, a murderer, and a traitor. What they called a robber, he said to those who tried him, he was, because he had taken spoil from the king's men. What they called a murderer, he was, because he had slain an insolent Englishman. What they called a traitor, he was not, for he had never sworn allegiance to the king, and had ever scorned to do it. He was dragged at the tails of horses to West Smithfield, and there hanged on a high gallows, torn open before he was dead, beheaded, and quartered. His head was set upon a pole on London Bridge. His right arm was sent to Newcastle, his left arm to Burwick, his legs to Perth, and Aberdeen. But if King Edward had had his body cut into inches, and had sent every separate inch to a separate town, he could not have dispersed it half so far and wide as his fame. Wallace will be remembered in songs and stories, while there are songs and stories in the English tongue, and Scotland will hold him dear, while her lakes and mountains last. Just from this dreaded enemy, the king made a fairer plan of government for Scotland, divided the offices of honour among Scottish gentlemen and English gentlemen, forgave past offenses, and thought in his old age that his work was done. But he deceived himself. Coleman and Bruce conspired, and made an appointment to meet at Dumfries in the Church of the Minerites. There is a story that Coleman was false to Bruce, and had informed against him to the king, that Bruce was warned of his danger and the necessity of flight by receiving one night as he sat its upper, from his friend the Earl of Gloucester, twelve pennies and a pair of spurs, that is, he was riding angrily to keep his appointment through a snowstorm with his horse's shoes reversed that he might not be tracked. He met an evil-looking serving man, a messenger of Coleman, whom he killed, and concealed in whose dress he found letters that proved Coleman's treachery. Whatever this may be, they were likely enough to quarrel in any case, being hot-headed rivals, and whatever they quarreled about they certainly did quarrel in the Church where they met, and Bruce drew his dagger and stabbed Coleman, who fell upon the pavement. When Bruce came out pale and disturbed, the friends who were waiting for him asked, What was the matter? I think I have killed Coleman, said he. You only think so? returned one of them. I will make sure, and going into the Church and finding him alive, stabbed him again and again. Knowing that the King would never forgive this new deed of violence, the party then declared Bruce, King of Scotland, got him crowned at Scone, without the chair, and set up the rebellious standard once again. When the King heard of it he kindled with fiercer anger than he had ever shown yet. He caused the Prince of Wales and two hundred and seventy of the young nobility to be knighted. The trees and the temple gardens were cut down to make room for their tents, and they watched their armour all night, according to the old usage. Some in the temple church, some in Westminster Abbey, and at the public feast which then took place, he swore by heaven and by two swans covered with gold network, which his minstrels placed upon the table, that he would avenge the death of Coleman, and would punish the false Bruce. And before all the company he charged the Prince his son, in case that he should die before accomplishing his vow not to bury him until it was fulfilled. Next morning the Prince and the rest of the young knights rode away to the border country to join the English army, and the King, now weak and sick, followed in a horse-litter. Bruce, after losing a battle, and undergoing many dangers and much misery, fled to Ireland, where he lay concealed through the winter. That winter Edward passed in hunting down and executing Bruce's relations and adherents, sparing neither youth nor age, and showing no touch of pity or sign of mercy. In the following spring Bruce reappeared and gained some victories. In these frays both sides were grievously cruel. For instance, Bruce's two brothers, being taken captive, desperately wounded, were ordered by the King to instant execution. Bruce's friend, Sir John Douglas, taking his own Castle of Douglas out of the hands of an English lord, roasted the dead bodies of the slaughtered garrison in a great fire made of every movable within it, which dreadful cookery his men called the Douglas Larder. Bruce, still successful, however, drove the Earl of Pembroke and the Earl of Gloucester into the Castle of Air and laid siege to it. The King, who had been laid up all winter, but had directed the army from his sick bed, now advanced to Carlisle, and there, causing the litter in which he had travelled, to be placed in the Cathedral as an offering to heaven, mounted his horse once more, and for the last time. He was now sixty-nine years old, and had reigned thirty-five years. He was so ill that in four days he could go no more than six miles. Still, even at that pace, he went on and resolutely kept his face towards the border. At length he lay down at the village of Burrow upon Sands, and there, telling those around him to impress upon the Prince, that he was to remember his father's vow, and was never to rest until he had thoroughly subdued Scotland, he yielded up his last breath. End of CHAPTER XVI. CHAPTER XVII. OF A CHILD'S HISTORY OF INGLAND. CHAPTER XVII. King Edward II, the first Prince of Wales, was twenty-three years old when his father died. There was a certain favourite of his, a young man from Gaskony, named Piers Gaviston, of whom his father had so much disapproved that he had ordered him out of England, and had made his son swear by the side of his sick-bed never to bring him back. But the Prince no sooner found himself king than he broke his oath, as so many other princes and kings did. They were far too ready to take oaths, and sent for his dear friend immediately. Now this same Gaviston was handsome enough, but was a reckless, insolent, audacious fellow. He was detested by the proud English lords, not only because he had such power over the king, and made the court such a dissipated place, but also because he could ride better than they at tournaments, and was used in his impudence to cut very bad jokes on them, calling one the old hog, another the stage-player, another the Jew, another the black dog of Ardenne. This was as poor wit as need be, but it made those lords very roff, and the surly earl of Warwick, who was the black dog, swore that the time should come when Piers Gaviston should feel the black dog's teeth. It was not come yet, however, nor did it seem to be coming. The king made him earl of Cornwall, and gave him vast riches, and when the king went over to France to marry the French princess Isabella, daughter of Philip Lebel, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, he made Gaviston regent of the kingdom. His splendid marriage ceremony in the Church of Our Lady at Bologna, where there were four kings and three queens present, quite a pack of court-cards, for I dare say the naves were not wanting. Being over, he seemed to care little or nothing for his beautiful wife, but was wild with impatience to meet Gaviston again. When he landed at home he paid no attention to anybody else, but ran into the favourites arms before a great concourse of people, and hugged him, and kissed him, and called him his brother. At the coronation which soon followed, Gaviston was the richest and brightest of all the glittering company there, and had the honour of carrying the crown. This made the proud lords fiercer than ever. The people, too, despised the favourite, and would never call him earl of Cornwall, however much he complained to the king, and asked him to punish them for not doing so, but persisted in styling him plain, pierced, Gaviston. The barons were so unceremonious with the king, in giving him to understand that they would not bear this favourite, that the king was obliged to send him out of the country. The favourite himself was made to take an oath, more oaths, that he would never come back, and the barons supposed him to be banished in disgrace, until they heard that he was appointed Governor of Ireland. Even this was not enough for the besotted king, who brought him home again in a year's time, and not only disgusted the court and the people by his doting folly, but offended his beautiful wife, too, who never liked him afterwards. He had now the old royal want of money, and the barons had the new power of positively refusing to let him raise any. He summoned a parliament at York, the barons refused to make one, while the favourite was near him. He summoned another parliament at Westminster, and sent Gaviston away. Then the barons came, completely armed, and appointed a committee of themselves to correct abuses in the State and in the king's household. He got some money on these conditions, and directly set off with Gaviston to the border country, where they spent it, in idling away the time, and feasting, while Bruce made ready to drive the English out of Scotland. Four, though the old king had even made this poor weak son of his swear, as some say, that he would not bury his bones, but would have them boiled clean in a cauldron, and carried before the English army, until Scotland was entirely subdued. The second Edward was so unlike the first, that Bruce gained strength and power every day. The committee of nobles, after some months of deliberation, ordained that the king should henceforth call a parliament together, once every year, and even twice if necessary, instead of summoning it only when he chose. Further, that Gaviston should once more be banished, and this time, on pain of death, if he ever came back. The king's tears were of no avail. He was obliged to send his favourite to Flanders. As soon as he had done so, however, he dissolved the parliament, with the low cunning of a mere fool, and set off to the north of England, thinking to get an army about him, to oppose the nobles. And once again he brought Gaviston home, and heaped upon him all the riches and titles of which the barons had deprived him. The lords saw now that there was nothing for it but to put the favourite to death. They could have done so legally, according to the terms of his banishment, but they did so, I am sorry to say, in a shabby manner. Led by the Earl of Lancaster, the king's cousin, they first of all attacked the king and Gaviston at Newcastle. They had time to escape by sea, and the mean king, having his precious Gaviston with him, was quite content to leave his lovely wife behind. When they were comparatively safe, they separated. The king went to York to collect a force of soldiers, and the favourite shut himself up, in the meantime, in Scarborough Castle, overlooking the sea. This was what the barons wanted. They knew that the castle could not hold out. They attacked it, and made Gaviston surrender. He delivered himself up to the Earl of Pembroke, that Lord whom he had called the Jew, on the earls pledging his faith and nightly word, that no harm should happen to him, and no violence be done him. Now it was agreed with Gaviston that he should be taken to the castle of Wallingford, and they are kept in honourable custody. They travelled as far as Deadington, near Banbury, where in the castle of that place they stopped for a night to rest. Whether the Earl of Pembroke left his prisoner there, knowing what would happen, or really left him thinking no harm, and only going, as he pretended, to visit his wife, the Countess, who was in the neighbourhood, is no great matter now. In any case, he was bound as an honourable gentleman to protect his prisoner, and he did not do it. In the morning, while the favourite was yet in bed, he was required to dress himself, and come down into the courtyard. He did so without any mistrust, but started, and turned pale when he found it full of strange, armed men. I think you know me, so their leader, also armed from head to foot. I am the black dog of Ardenne. The time was come when Pierce Gaviston was to feel the black dog's teeth indeed. They set him on a mule, and carried him, in mock state, and with military music, to the black dog's kennel. Warric Castle, where a hasty council, composed of some great nobleman, considered what should be done with him. Some were for sparing him, but one loud voice, it was the black dog's bark, I daresay, sounded through the castle hall, uttering these words. You have the fox in your power. Let him go now, and you must hunt him again. They sentenced him to death. He threw himself at the feet of the Earl of Lancaster, the old hog, but the old hog was as savage as the dog. He was taken out upon the pleasant road, leading from Warwick to Coventry, where the beautiful river Avon, by which, long afterwards, William Shakespeare was born, and now lies buried, sparkled in the bright landscape of the beautiful May Day. And there they struck off his wretched head, and stained the dust with his blood. When the king heard of this black deed, in his grief and rage he denounced relentless war against his barons, and both sides were in arms for half a year, but it then became necessary for them to join their forces against Bruce, who had used the time well while they were divided, and had now a great power in Scotland. Intelligence was brought that Bruce was then besieging Sterling Castle, and that the Governor had been obliged to pledge himself to surrender it, unless he should be relieved before a certain day. Hereupon the king ordered the nobles and their fighting men to meet him at Burwick, but the nobles cared so little for the king, and so neglected the summons, and lost time that only on the day before that appointed for the surrender did the king find himself at Sterling, and even then with a smaller force than he had expected. However he had, altogether, a hundred thousand men, and Bruce had not more than forty thousand, but Bruce's army was strongly posted in three square columns, on the ground lying between the burn or brook of Bannock, and the walls of Sterling Castle. On the very evening when the king came up, Bruce did a brave act that encouraged his men. He was seen by a certain Henry de Bohun, an English knight riding about before his army in a little horse, with a light battleaxe in his hand, and a crown of gold on his head. This English knight, who was mounted on a strong warhorse, cased in steel, strongly armed, and able, as he thought, to overthrow Bruce by crushing him with his mere weight, set spurs to his great charger, rode on him, and made a thrust at him with his heavy spear. Bruce parried the thrust, and with one blow of his battleaxe, split his skull. The Scottish men did not forget this next day when the battle raged. Randolph, Bruce's valiant nephew, rode with the small body of men he commanded, into such a host of the English, all shining in polished armor in the sunlight, that they seemed to be swallowed up and lost, as if they had plunged into the sea. But they fought so well, and did such dreadful execution, that the English staggered. Then came Bruce himself upon them, with all the rest of his army. While they were thus hard-pressed and amazed, they were peered upon the hills, what they supposed to be a new Scottish army. But what were really only the camp-followers, in number fifteen thousand, whom Bruce had taught to show themselves at that place and time. The Earl of Gloucester, commanding the English horse, made a last rush to change the fortune of the day, but Bruce, like Jack the giant-killer in the story, had had pits dug in the ground and covered over with turfs and stakes, into these as they gave way beneath the weight of the horses, riders and horses rolled by hundreds. The English were completely routed, all their treasure, doors and engines, were taken by the Scottish men. So many wagons and other wheeled vehicles were seized, that it is related that they would have reached, if they had been drawn out in a line, one hundred and eighty miles. The fortunes of Scotland were, for the time completely changed, and never was a battle won more famous upon Scottish ground than this great battle of Bannockburn. Plague and famine succeeded in England, and still the powerless King and his disdainful lords were always in contention. Some of the turbulent chiefs of Ireland made proposals to Bruce to accept the rule of that country. He sent his brother Edward to them, who was crowned King of Ireland. He afterwards went himself to help his brother in his Irish wars, but his brother was defeated in the end, and killed. Robert Bruce, returning to Scotland, still increased his strength there. As the King's ruin had begun in a favourite, so it seemed likely to end in one. He was too poor a creature to relied all upon himself, and his new favourite was one Hugh the dispenser, the son of a gentleman of ancient family. Hugh was handsome and brave, but he was the favourite of a weak King, whom no man cared rush for, and that was a dangerous place to hold. The nobles leaned against him, because the King liked him, and they lay in wait both for his ruin and his father's. Now the King had married him to the daughter of the late Earl of Gloucester, and had given both him and his father great possessions in Wales. In their endeavours to extend these, they gave violent offence to an angry Welsh gentleman named John de Möbre, and to diverse other angry Welsh gentlemen, who resorted to arms, took their castles, and seized their states. The Earl of Lancaster had first placed the favourite, who was a poor relation of his own at court, and he considered his own dignity offended by the preference he received, and the honours he acquired, so he and the barons who were his friends joined the Welshman, marched on London, and sent a message to the King, demanding to have the favourite and his father banished. At first the King unaccountably took it into his head to be spirited, and to send them a bold reply, but when they quartered themselves around Holburn and Clirkenwell, and went down armed to the Parliament at Westminster, he gave way, and complied with their demands. His turn of triumph came sooner than he expected. It arose out of an accidental circumstance. The beautiful Queen, happening to be travelling, came one night to one of the royal castles, and demanded to be lodged and entertained there until morning. The Governor of this castle, who was one of the enraged lords, was away, and in his absence his wife refused admission to the Queen. A scuffle took place among the common men on either side, and some of the royal attendants were killed. The people, who cared nothing for the King, were very angry that their beautiful Queen should be thus rudely treated in her own dominions, and the King, taking advantage of this feeling, besieged the castle, took it, and then called the two despensers home. Upon this the Confederate lords and the Welshmen went over to Bruce. The King encountered them at Borough Bridge, gained the victory, and took a number of distinguished prisoners. Among them the Earl of Lancaster, now an old man, upon whose destruction he was resolved. This Earl was taken to his own castle of Pontefract, and there tried and found guilty by an unfair court appointed for the purpose. He was not even allowed to speak in his own defence. He was insulted, pelted, mounted on a starved pony without saddle or bridle, carried out, and beheaded. Eight and twenty knights were hanged, drawn, and quartered. When the King had dispatched this bloody work, and had made a fresh and a long truce with Bruce, he took the despensers into greater favour than ever, and made the father Earl of Winchester. One prisoner, and an important one, who was taken at Borough Bridge, made his escape, however, and turned the tide against the King. This was Roger Mortimer, always resolutely opposed to him, who was sentenced to death, and placed for safe custody in the Tower of London. He treated his guards to a quantity of wine into which he had put a sleeping potion, and when they were insensible, broke out of his dungeon, got into a kitchen, climbed up the chimney, let himself down from the roof of the building with a rope ladder, passed the sentries, got down to the river, and made away in a boat to where servants and horses were waiting for him. He finally escaped to France, where Charles Lebel, the brother of the beautiful Queen, was King. Charles sought to quarrel with the King of England, on pretence of his not having come to do him homage at his coronation. It was proposed that the beautiful Queen should go over to arrange the dispute. She went, and wrote home to the King, that as he was sick and could not come to France himself, perhaps it would be better to send over the young Prince, their son, who was only twelve years old, who could do homage to her brother in his stead, and in whose company she would immediately return. The King sent him, but both he and the Queen remained at the French court, and Roger Mortimer became the Queen's lover. When the King wrote, again and again, to the Queen to come home, she did not reply that she despised him too much to live with him any more, which was the truth, but said she was afraid of the two dispensers. In short, her design was to overthrow the favourites power, and the King's power, such as it was, and invade England. Having obtained a French force of two thousand men, and being joined by all the English exiles then in France, she landed within a year at Orwell, in Suffolk, where she was immediately joined by the earls of Kent and Norfolk, the King's two brothers, by other powerful noblemen, and lastly by the first English general, who was dispatched to check her, who went over to her with all his men. The people of London receiving these tidings would do nothing for the King, but broke open the tower, let out all his prisoners, and threw up their caps and her rod for the beautiful Queen. The King with his two favourites fled to Bristol, where he left old dispenser in charge of the town and castle while he went on with the son to Wales. The Bristol men being opposed to the King, and it being impossible to hold the town with enemies everywhere within the walls, dispenser yielded it up on the third day, and was instantly brought to trial, for having traitorously influenced what was called the King's mind, though I doubt if the King ever had any. He was a venerable old man, upwards of ninety years of age, but his age gained no respect or mercy. He was hanged, torn open while he was yet alive, cut up into pieces, and thrown to the dogs. His son was soon taken, tried at Hurford, before the same judge, on a long series of foolish charges, found guilty, and hanged upon a gallows fifty feet high, with a chaplet of nettles round his head. His poor old father and he were innocent enough of any worse crimes than the crime of having been friends of a King, on whom, as a mere man, they would never have damed to cast a favourable look. It is a bad crime, I know, and leads to worse, but many lords and gentlemen, I even think some ladies, too, if I recollect right, have committed it in England, who have neither been given to the dogs, nor hanged up, fifty feet high. The wretched King was running here and there all this time, and never getting anywhere in particular, until he gave himself up, and was taken off to Kennellworth Castle. When he was safely lodged there, the Queen went to London, and met the Parliament, and the Bishop of Hurford, who was the most skillful of her friends, said, What was to be done now? Here was an imbecile, indolent, miserable King upon the throne. Wouldn't it be better to take him off, and put his son there instead? I don't know whether the Queen really pitied him at this pass, but she began to cry. Though the Bishop said, Well, my lords and gentlemen, what do you think upon the whole of sending down to Kennellworth, and seeing if his Majesty, God bless him, and forbid we should depose him, won't resign? My lords and gentlemen thought it a good notion, so a deputation of them went down to Kennellworth, and there the King came into the great hall of the castle, commonly dressed in a poor black gown. And when he saw a certain Bishop among them, fell down, poor feeble-headed man, and made a wretched spectacle of himself. Somebody lifted him up, and then Sir William Trussell, the Speaker of the House of Commons, almost frightened him to death, by making him a tremendous speech to the effect that he was no longer a King, and that everybody renounced allegiance to him, after which Sir Thomas Blount, the steward of the household, nearly finished him, by coming forward and breaking his white wand, which was a ceremony only performed at a King's death. Being asked in this pressing manner what he thought of resigning, the King said he thought it was the best thing he could do, so he did it, and they proclaimed his son next day. I wish I could close this history by saying that he lived a harmless life in the castle, and the castle gardens at Kennellworth many years, that he had a favourite and plenty to eat and drink, and having that wanted nothing, but he was shamefully humiliated. He was outraged and slighted, and had dirty water from ditches given him to shave with, and wept, and said he would have clean, warm water, and was altogether very miserable. He was moved from this castle to that castle, and from that castle to the other castle, because this Lord or that Lord, or the other Lord, was too kind to him. Until at last he came to Berkeley Castle, near the River Severn, where, the Lord Berkeley being then ill and absent, he fell into the hands of two Black Ruffians, called Thomas Gourney and William Ogle. One night, it was the night of September the 21st, 1327, dreadful screams were heard by the startled people in the neighbouring town, ringing through the thick walls of the castle, and the dark, deep night, and they said, as they were thus horribly awakened from their sleep, may heaven be merciful to the king, for those cries forebode that no good is being done to him in this dismal prison. Last morning he was dead, not bruised, or stabbed, or marked upon the body, but much distorted in the face, and it was whispered afterwards that those two villains, Gourney and Ogle, had burnt up his inside with a red, hot iron. If you ever come near Gloucester, and see the centre tower of its beautiful cathedral, with its four rich pinnacles rising lightly in the air, you may remember that the wretched Edward II was buried in the old abbey of that ancient city, at forty-three years old, after being for nineteen years and a half a perfectly incapable king.

Roger Mortimer, the queen's lover, who escaped to France in the last chapter, was far from profiting by the examples he had had of the fate of favourites. Having, through the queen's influence, come into possession of the estates of the two despensers, he became extremely proud and ambitious, and sought to be the real ruler of England. The young king, who was crowned at fourteen years of age, with all the usual solemnities, resolved not to bear this, and soon pursued Mortimer to his ruin. The people themselves were not fond of Mortimer, first because he was a royal favourite, secondly because he was supposed to have helped to make a peace with Scotland, which now took place, and in virtue of which the young king's sister Joan, only seven years old, was promised in marriage to David, the son and heir of Robert Bruce, who was only five years old. The nobles hated Mortimer because of his pride, riches, and power. They went so far as to take up arms against him, but were obliged to submit. The Earl of Kent, one of those who did so, but who afterwards went over to Mortimer and the queen, was made an example of, in the following cruel manner. He seems to have been anything but a wise old Earl, and he was persuaded by the agents of the favourite and the queen, that poor King Edward II was not really dead, and thus was betrayed into writing letters, favouring his rightful claim to the throne. This was made out to be high treason, and he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be executed. They took the poor old Lord outside the town of Winchester, and there kept him waiting some three or four hours, until they could find somebody to cut off his head. At last a convict said he would do it, if the government would pardon him in return, and they gave him the pardon, and at one blow he put the Earl of Kent out of his last suspense. While the queen was in France she had found a lovely and good young lady named Philippa, who she thought would make an excellent wife for her son. The young king married this lady soon after he came to the throne, and her first child, Edward, Prince of Wales, afterwards became celebrated, as we shall presently see, under the famous title of Edward the Black Prince. The young king, thinking the time ripe for the downfall of Mortimer, took counsel with the Lord Montecute how he should proceed. A parliament was going to be held at Nottingham, and that Lord recommended that the favourites should be seized by night in Nottingham Castle, where he was sure to be. Now this, like many other things, was more easily said than done. Because to guard against treachery the great gates of the castle were locked every night, and the great keys were carried upstairs to the queen, who laid them under her own pillow. But the castle had a governor, and the governor, being Lord Montecute's friend, confided to him how he knew of a secret passage underground hidden from observation by the weeds and brambles with which it was overgrown. And how, through that passage, the conspirators might enter in the dead of the night, and go straight to Mortimer's room. Accordingly upon a certain dark night, at midnight, they made their way through this dismal place, startling the rats and frightening the owls and bats, and came safely to the bottom of the main tower of the castle, where the king met them, and took them up a profoundly dark staircase in a deep silence. They soon heard the voice of Mortimer in council with some friends, and bursting into the room with a sudden noise, took him prisoner. The queen cried out from her bed-chamber, Oh, my sweet son, my dear son, spare my gentle Mortimer! They carried him off, however, and before the next Parliament accused him of having made differences between the young king and his mother, and of having brought about the death of the Earl of Kent, and even of the late king, for, as you know by this time, when they wanted to get rid of a man in those old days, they were not very particular of what they accused him. Mortimer was found guilty of all this, and was sentenced to be hanged at Tyburn. The king shut his mother up in genteel confinement, where she passed the rest of her life, and now he became king in earnest. The first effort he made was to conquer Scotland. The English lords who had lands in Scotland, finding that their rights were not respected under the late peace, made war on their own account, choosing for their general, Edward, the son of John Baliel, who made such a vigorous fight that in less than two months he won the whole Scottish kingdom. He was joined when thus triumphant by the king and Parliament, and he and the king in person besieged the Scottish forces in Burwick. The whole Scottish army, coming to the assistance of their countrymen, such a furious battle ensued that thirty thousand men are said to have been killed in it. Baliel was then crowned king of Scotland, doing homage to the king of England. But little came of his successes, after all, for the Scottish men rose against him within no very long time, and David Bruce came back within ten years and took his kingdom. France was a far richer country than Scotland, and the king had a much greater mind to conquer it, so he let Scotland alone, and pretended that he had a claim to the French throne in right of his mother. He had, in reality, no claim at all, but that mattered little in those times. He brought over to his cause many little princes and sovereigns, and even quartered the alliance of the people of Flanders, a busy working community who had very small respect for kings, and whose head man was a brewer. With such forces as he raised by these means, Edward invaded France, but he did little by that, except run into debt in carrying on the war to the extent of three hundred thousand pounds. The next year he did better, gaining a great sea fight in the harbour of Slews. This success, however, was very short-lived, for the Flemmings took fright at the siege of St. Omir, and ran away, leaving their weapons and baggage behind them. Philip the French king, coming up with his army, and Edward being very anxious to decide the war, proposed to settle the difference by single combat with him, or by a fight of one hundred nights on each side. The French king said he thanked him, but being very well as he was, he would rather not. So after some skirmishing and talking, a short piece was made. It was soon broken by King Edward's favouring the cause of John, Earl of Montford, a French nobleman, who asserted a claim of his own against the French king, and offered to do homage to England, for the crown of France, if he could obtain it through England's help. This French lord himself was soon defeated by the French king's son, and shut up in a tower in Paris. But his wife, a courageous and beautiful woman, who was said to have had the courage of a man, and the heart of a lion, assembled the people of Brittany, where she then was, and, showing them her infant son, made many pathetic entreaties to them, not to desert her and their young lord. They took fire at this appeal, and rallied round her in the strong castle of Hennobon. Here she was not only besieged without, by the French, under Charles de Bloy, but was endangered within by a dreary old bishop, who was always representing to the people what horrors they must undergo if they were faithful, first from famine, and afterwards from fire and sword. But this noble lady, whose heart never failed her, encouraged her soldiers by her own example, went from post to post like a great general. Then mounted on horseback, fully armed, and issuing from the castle by a bypass, fell upon the French camp, set fire to the tents, and threw the whole force into disorder. This done she got safely back to Hennobon again, and was received with loud shouts of joy by the defenders of the castle, who had given her up for lost. As they were now very short of provisions, however, and as they could not dine off enthusiasm, and as the old bishop was always saying, I told you what it would come to, they began to lose heart, and to talk of yielding the castle up. The brave Countess, retiring to an upper room, and looking with great grief out to sea, where she expected relief from England, saw at this very time the English ships in the distance, and was relieved and rescued. Sir Walter Manning, the English commander, so admired her courage, yet being come into the castle with the English knights, and having made a feast there, he assaulted the French by way of dessert, and to beat them off triumphantly. Then he and the knights came back to the castle with great joy, and the Countess who had watched them from a high tower, thanked them with all her heart, and kissed them every one. This noble lady distinguished herself afterwards in a sea-fight with the French off Guernsey, when she was on her way to England to ask for more troops. Her great spirit roused another lady, the wife of another French lord, whom the French king very barbarously murdered, to distinguish herself scarcely less. The time was fast coming, however, when Edward, Prince of Wales, was to be the great star of this French and English war. It was in the month of July, in the year 1346, when the king embarked at Southampton, for France, with an army of about thirty thousand men in all, attended by the Prince of Wales, and by several of the chief nobles. He landed at La Hogue in Normandy, and, burning and destroying as he went, according to custom, advanced up the left bank of the River Seine, and fired the small towns even close to Paris. But being watched from the right bank of the river by the French king and all his army, it came to this, at last, that Edward found himself on Saturday the 26th of August, 1346, on a rising ground behind the little French village of Curricy, face to face with the French king's force, and although the French king had an enormous army, in number more than eight times his, he there resolved to beat him, or be beaten. The young Prince, assisted by the Earl of Oxford and the Earl of Warwick, led the first division of the English army. Two other great earls led the second, and the king the third. When the morning dawned, the king received the sacrament, and heard prayers, and then, mounted on horseback, with a white wand in his hand, rode from company to company, and rank to rank, cheering and encouraging both officers and men. Then the whole army breakfasted, each man sitting on the ground where he had stood, and then they remained quietly on the ground, with their weapons ready. Up came the French king with all his great force. It was dark and angry weather. There was an eclipse of the sun. There was a thunderstorm, accompanied with tremendous rain. The frightened birds flew screaming above the soldier's heads. A certain captain in the French army advised the French king, who was by no means cheerful, not to begin the battle until the morrow. The king, taking this advice, gave the word to halt. But those behind, not understanding it, or desiring to be foremost with the rest, came pressing on. The roads for a great distance were covered with this immense army, and with the common people from the villages, who were flourishing their rude weapons and making a great noise. Following to these circumstances, the French army advanced in the greatest confusion, every French lord doing what he liked with his own men, and putting out the men of every other French lord. Now their king relied strongly upon a great body of crossbowmen from Genoa, and these he ordered to the front to begin the battle, on finding that he could not stop it. They shouted once, they shouted twice, they shouted three times to alarm the English archers. But the English would have heard them shout three thousand times, and would have never moved. At last the crossbowmen went forward a little, and began to discharge their bolts, upon which the English let fly such a hail of arrows that the Genoese speedily made off, for their crossbows, besides being heavy to carry, required to be wound up with a handle, and consequently took time to reload. The English, on the other hand, could discharge their arrows almost as fast as the arrows could fly. When the French king saw the Genoese turning, he cried out to his men to kill those scoundrels who were doing harm instead of service. This increased the confusion, meanwhile the English archers, continuing to shoot as fast as ever, shot down great numbers of the French soldiers and knights, whom certain sly Cornishmen and Welshmen, from the English army creeping along the ground, dispatched with great knives. The Prince and his division were at this time so heart-pressed that the Earl of Warwick sent a message to the King, who was overlooking the battle from a windmill, beseeching him to send more aid. "'Is my son killed?' said the King. "'No, Sire, please God,' returned the messenger. "'Is he wounded?' said the King. "'No, Sire. "'Is he thrown to the ground?' said the King. "'No, Sire, not so, but he is very heart-pressed.' "'Then,' said the King, "'go back to those who sent you, "'and tell them I shall send no aid. "'Because I set my heart upon my son, proving himself this day "'a brave knight, and because I am resolved, please God, "'that the honour of a great victory shall be his.'" His bold words, being reported to the Prince and his division, so raised their spirits that they fought better than ever. The King of France charged gallantly with his men many times, but it was of no use. Night closing in, his horse was killed under him by an English arrow, and the knights and nobles, who had clustered thick about him early in the day, were now completely scattered. At last some of his few remaining followers led him off the field by force, since he would not retire of himself, and they journeyed away to Amiens. The victorious English, lighting their watchfires, made Mary on the field, and the King, riding to meet his gallant son, took him in his arms, kissed him, and told him that he had acted nobly, and proved himself worthy of the day and of the crown. While it was yet night, King Edward was hardly aware of the great victory he had gained, but next day it was discovered that eleven princes, twelve hundred knights, and thirty thousand common men, lay dead upon the French side. Among these was the King of Bohemia, an old blind man, who, having been told that his son was wounded in the battle, and that no force could stand against the black prince, called to him two knights, put himself on horseback between them, fastened the three bridles together, and dashed in among the English, where he was presently slain. He bore as his crest three white ostrich feathers, with the motto ick dien, signifying in English, I serve. This crest and motto were taken by the Prince of Wales in remembrance of that famous day, and have been borne by the Prince of Wales ever since. Five days after this great battle, the King laid siege to Calais, this siege, ever afterwards memorable, lasted nearly a year. In order to starve the inhabitants out, King Edward built so many wooden houses for the lodgings of his troops, that it is said their quarters looked like a second Calais, suddenly sprung around the first. Early in the siege the Governor of the town drove out what he called the useless mouths, to the number of seventeen hundred persons, men and women, young and old. King Edward allowed them to pass through his lines, and even fed them, and dismissed them with money. But later in the siege he was not so merciful, five hundred more who were afterwards driven out, dying of starvation and misery. The garrison were so hard-pressed at last, that they sent a letter to King Philip, telling him that they had eaten all the horses, all the dogs, and all the rats and mice that could be found in the place, and that, if he did not relieve them, they must either surrender to the English or eat one another. Philip made one effort to give them relief, but they were so hemmed in by the English power that he could not succeed, and was feign to leave the place. Upon this they hoisted the English flag, and surrendered to King Edward. Tell your general, said he to the humble messengers, who came out of the town, that I require to have sent here six of the most distinguished citizens, bare-legged and in their shirts, with ropes about their necks, and let those six men bring with them the keys of the castle and the town. When the Governor of Calais related this to the people in the marketplace there was great weeping and distress, in the midst of which one worthy citizen, named Eustache de Saint-Pierre, rose up and said that if the six men required were not sacrificed the whole population would be, therefore he offered himself as the first. Asked by this bright example, five other worthy citizens rose up one after another, and offered themselves to save the rest. The Governor, who was too badly wounded to be able to walk, mounted a poor old horse that had not been eaten, and conducted these good men to the gate, while all the people cried and mourned. Edward received them wrathfully, and ordered the heads of the whole six to be struck off, however the good Queen fell upon her knees, and besought the King to give them up to her. The King replied, I wish you had been somewhere else, but I cannot refuse you. So she had them properly dressed, made a feast for them, and sent them back with a handsome present, to the great rejoicing of the whole camp. I hope the people of Calais loved the daughter to whom she gave birth soon afterwards, for her gentle mother's sake. Now came that terrible disease, the plague, into Europe, hurrying from the heart of China, and killed the wretched people, especially the poor, in such enormous numbers that one half of the inhabitants of England are related to have died of it. It killed the cattle in great numbers, too, and so few working men remained alive that there were not enough left to till the ground. After eight years of differing and quarreling, the Prince of Wales again invaded France with an army of sixty thousand men. He went through the south of the country, burning and plundering wheresoever he went, while his father, who had still the Scottish war upon his hands, did the like in Scotland, but was harassed and worried in his retreat from that country by the Scottish men who repaid his cruelties with interest. The French King Philip was now dead, and was succeeded by his son John. The Black Prince, called by that name from the colour of the armour he wore, to set off his fair complexion, continuing to burn and destroy in France, roused John into determined opposition, and so cruel had the Black Prince been in his campaign, and so severely had the French peasants suffered that he could not find one who for love or money, or the fear of death, would tell him what the French King was doing, or where he was. Thus it happened that he came upon the French King's forces, all of a sudden near the town of Poitiers, and found that the whole neighbouring country was occupied by a vast French army. God help us, said the Black Prince, we must make the best of it. So on a Sunday morning, the eighteenth of September, the Prince whose army was now reduced to ten thousand men in all, prepared to give battle to the French King, who had sixty thousand horse alone. While he was so engaged there came riding from the French camp a cardinal who had persuaded John to let him offer terms, and try to save the shedding of Christian blood. Save my honour, said the Prince to this good priest, and save the honour of my army, and I will make any reasonable terms. He offered to give up all the towns, castles, and prisoners he had taken, and to swear to make no war in France for seven years. But as John would hear of nothing but his surrender, with a hundred of his chief knights, the treaty was broken off, and the Prince said quietly, God defend the right, we shall fight tomorrow. Therefore on the Monday morning, at a break of day, the two armies prepared for battle. The English were posted in a strong place, which could only be approached by one narrow lane, skirted by hedges on both sides. The French attacked them by this lane, but were so galled and slain by English arrows from behind the hedges, that they were forced to retreat. Then went six hundred English bowmen round about, and, coming upon the rear of the French army, reigned arrows on them thick and fast. The French knights, thrown into confusion, quitted their banners and dispersed in all directions. Said Sir John Chandos to the Prince, Ride forward, noble Prince, and the day is yours. The King of France is so valiant a gentleman, that I know he will never fly, and may be taken prisoner. Said the Prince to this, advance English banners in the name of God and Saint George, and on they pressed until they came up with the French King, fighting fiercely with his battle-axe, and when all his nobles had forsaken him, attended faithfully to the last by his youngest son Philip, only sixteen years of age. Father and son fought well, and the King had already two wounds in his face, and had been beaten down, when he at last delivered himself to a banished French knight, and gave him his right hand glove, in token that he had done so. The Black Prince was generous as well as brave, and he invited the royal prisoner to supper in his tent, and waited upon him at table, and when they afterwards rode into London in a gorgeous procession, mounted the French King on a fine, cream-coloured horse, and rode at his side on a little pony. This was all very kind, but I think it was, perhaps, a little theatrical, too, and has been made more meritorious than it deserved to be, especially as I am inclined to think that the greatest kindness to the King of France would have been not to have shown him to the people at all. However, it must be said, for these acts of politeness, that in course of time they did much to soften the horrors of war and the passions of conquerors. It was a long, long time before the common soldiers began to have the benefit of such courtly deeds, but they did at last, and thus it is possible that a poor soldier who asked for quarter at the battle of Waterloo, or any other such great fight, may have owed his life indirectly to Edward the Black Prince. At this time there stood in the strand in London a palace called the Savoy, which was given up to the captive King of France and his son for their residence. As the King of Scotland had now been King Edward's captive for eleven years too, his success was, at this time, tolerably complete. The Scottish business was settled by the prisoner being released under the title of Sir David, King of Scotland, and by his engaging to pay a large ransom. The State of France encouraged England to propose harder terms to that country, where the people rose against the unspeakable cruelty and barbarity of its nobles, where the nobles rose in turn against the people, where the most frightful outrages were committed on all sides, and where the insurrection of the peasants, called the insurrection of the Jackery, from Jacques, a common Christian name among the country people of France, awakened terrors and hatreds that have scarcely yet passed away. A treaty called the Great Peace was at last signed, under which King Edward agreed to give up the greater part of his conquests, and King John to pay, within six years, a ransom of three million crowns of gold. He was so beset by his own nobles and courtiers for having yielded to these conditions, though they could help him to know better, that he came back of his own will to his old palace prison of the Savoy, and there died. There was a sovereign of Castile at that time, called Pedro the Cruel, who deserved the name remarkably well, having committed, among other cruelties, a variety of murders. This amiable monarch, being driven from his throne for his crimes, went to the province of Bordeaux, where the Black Prince, now married to his cousin Joan, a pretty widow, was residing and besought his help. The Prince, who took to him much more kindly than a Prince of such fame ought to have taken to such a ruffian, readily listened to his fair promises, and, agreeing to help him, sent secret orders to some troublesome disbanded soldiers of his and his father's, who called themselves the Free Companions, and who had been a pest to the French people, for some time to aid this Pedro. The Prince himself, going into Spain to head the army of relief, soon set Pedro on his throne again, where he no sooner found himself, then, of course, he behaved like the villain he was, broke his word without the least shame, and abandoned all the promises he had made to the Black Prince. Now it had cost the Prince a good deal of money to pay soldiers to support this murderous king, and finding himself, when he came back disgusted to Bordeaux, not only in bad health, but deeply in debt, he began to tax his French subjects to pay his creditors. They appealed to the French King Charles. War broke out again, and the French town of Limoges, which the Prince had greatly benefited, went over to the French King. Upon this he ravaged the province of which it was the capital, burnt and plundered, and killed in the old sickening way, and refused mercy to the prisoners, men, women, and children, taken in the offending town, though he was so ill and so much in need of pity himself from heaven, that he was carried in a litter. He lived to come home and make himself popular with the people and parliament, and he died on Trinity Sunday, the 8th of June, 1376, at forty-six years old. The whole nation mourned for him as one of the most renowned and beloved princes it had ever had, and he was buried with great lamentations in Canterbury Cathedral. Near to the tomb of Edward the Confessor, his monument with his figure carved in stone, and represented in the old black armor, laying on its back, may be seen at this day, with an ancient coat of mail, a helmet, and a pair of gauntlets hanging from a beam above it, which most people like to believe were once worn by the black Prince. King Edward did not outlive his renowned son long. He was old, and one Alice Perrer, a beautiful lady, had contrived to make him so fond of her in his old age, that he could refuse her nothing, and made himself ridiculous. She little deserved his love, or, what I dare say she valued a great deal more, the jewels of the late Queen, which he gave her among other rich presents. She took the very ring from his finger on the morning of the day when he died, and left him to be pillaged by his faithless servants. Only one good priest was true to him, and attended him to the last. Besides being famous for the great victories I have related, the reign of King Edward III was rendered memorable in better ways, by the growth of architecture and the erection of Windsor Castle. In better ways still, by the rising up of Wycliffe, originally a poor parish priest, who devoted himself to exposing, with wonderful power and success, the ambition and corruption of the Pope, and of the whole church of which he was the head. Some of those flammings were induced to come to England in this reign, too, and to settle in Norfolk, where they made better woolen cloths than the English had ever had before. The order of the garter, a very fine thing in its way, but hardly so important as a good close for the nation, also dates from this period. The king is said to have picked up a lady's garter at a ball, and to have said, Honisot Kimali Pence, in English, evil be to him who evil thinks of it. The courtiers were usually glad to imitate what the king said or did, and hence, from a slight incident, the order of the garter was instituted and became a great dignity. So the story goes.

Thanks to a start in the old youth opportunities programme, and that dates me, I worked for 25 years with people with a learning difficulty. Today I am proud to serve the people of the Sockey and Cullsnotton parish church. To do that I had to go to Glasgow University and there eventually I got a degree. Ironically, given my difficulty with letters, a bee dee, or it might be a dee bee, I'm still not very sure about it. I don't tell you this story either to cultivate your sympathy or your admiration. I tell you this story because I want to say that I know what it is to be a person on the margins, a person whom the system fails in some way. For many of us, throughout our adult life, that translates to us being a failure. Jesus operated from the margins and for the margins and called the powerful and the leaders to care for their people. In his kingdom value, and I hope in ours, the highest goal should be to help those who cannot speak up, or when they do speak up are not heard. It's where policies should start. After all, it is at the margins on the edges where the real shape of society is defined. I repeat my thanks to you, Presiding Officer, and to this Parliament for being invited to come here today. I wish you God's blessing on your work.

Solid composite electrolytes, SCs, combine the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes and inorganic ceramic electrolytes. They present acceptable ionic conductivity, high mechanical strength, and favorable interfacial contact with electrodes. However, there are many challenges to overcome before the practical application of SCs. This article was authored by Song Li, Xue Qi Zhang, Liu Shen, and others.

Within the main topic of the nuts and bolts of writing, we have teaching mechanics of writing. Mechanics are related to the messiness of writing, for example, spelling, punctuation and other norms of writing, even handwriting as well. So these mechanics pose problems for second language teachers. Let's discuss some of the strategies and activities or exercises which we as language teachers can bring into the classroom to help our students learn this phenomenon effectively. So writing has its several mechanical components such as spelling, punctuation, construction of sentences, paragraphs, division of paragraphs and these are called the nuts and bolts of writing. Within contrastive rhetoric paradigm, we have this concept that some habits of first language are comparable to second language. For example, some students who acquire first language habits transfer these onto the second language. But this debate is there and there is a useful evidence for this. And as a language teacher, I believe that we need to be aware of the contrastive rhetoric and its implications for language teaching. So there are a number of exercises which we can, which you are already doing and which you might think of doing to improve handwriting, spelling, punctuation, construction of sentences, paragraphs of students. One of them is imitation, showing them examples, showing them good examples. And secondly, let them be creative, let them create. And in this regard, teachers' response to their creativity is crucial. Giving such feedback, which is encouraging, which is motivating and make them write words by their hand. We have word-based, word-process-based applications which also help teach the mechanics of writing in an efficient manner. Nothing can replace reading. Reading both intensive and extensive, reading for a variety of purposes has its rich fruits. So we can encourage reading and we can make the students spell the word out aloud and also make them, if you are teaching at beginning level, you can ask them to keep words on display and you can also ask them to keep log of the words which create problems or confusion for them. And we can bring in the use of games into the, introduce games in the classroom and teach typing as well and explain mnemonics. Mnemonics are the words which remain part of the memory even after they are learned actually.

What were my top 10 picks for eyeshadow palettes in 2021? We're going to start that video right now. Hello, my friends. I am so glad that you're here with me today. This is a fun video because eyeshadow palettes is always something that we makeup lovers seem to just dive headlong into. They're so much fun and I wanted to make this a separate video just like I'm going to make the foundation a separate video. We are going to be swatching quite a few, so we better get into that video right now. All right, we're going to do this in a countdown style. So in it, number 10 is from ColourPop, and it is the Stone Cold Fox Palette. This palette is one that kind of just ticks all the boxes for a neutral lover's dream. And this is something that can go warm neutral, cool neutral, or just plain neutral. It is a beautiful palette and it has that great ColourPop formula that we all look for. So many of these are very buttery, very high beam, and I just think this palette knocked it out of the park as far as covering so many different tones that you need when you're looking at neutrals. We have the cool, the very, very cool, and then we go into a very neutral. I'll just swatch just a few of them so you can see. So this to me would be the part that is very, very cool toned, very muddy looking. I love that about it. When it looks like it's just got that grayish tone to it. Soft and buttery. I love these, they're just that good. And then they even had just a little bit of the pinks in here, or not really pinks, kind of mauvey colors. It kind of ticked that box about them being more along the lines of the cool neutrals. So I love these neutral tones. They're just so pretty. There's the mauvey tones that I was talking about. So beautiful. Definitely gonna have to raise my sleeve here. And then the next one would be more along the lines of just a basic neutral, which I think that they did very well in here too. I love ColourPop Shadow Formula. If you've never had a chance to try them before, they truly are just this gorgeous buttery formula that sticks around. They're very easy to blend. I just think that they're next level. And this palette was one that I just really gravitated towards and I wore it a ton this year. Another palette that I picked up this year that actually didn't have anything to do with coming out this year or anything like that. But I personally got it for the first time and it's the Persona Identity Palette, the original. This palette just stole my heart because I loved the formula. Now there are quite a few warm tones in here and as you know, lots of times I don't wear warm tones. But I'm telling you that these worked for me and I could layer them together and make them look so pretty. And I think that's what I love. The other thing is that I love the shimmers in here. They're super buttery and super soft. And even though I have a little bit of texture across my eyelids, they didn't make it look like texture at all. And they are just stunners. The mattes in here are super duper silky. And I just thought that they did a really great job on this palette all the way around. As you can see right there from just those swatches, what a gorgeous, beautiful rendering of colors for neutrals there are in here. And I really liked that those weren't chunky at all. None of the shimmers were chunky. They just left this beautiful swath of metallic across there. Some of them weren't as shimmery as others, which is really good when you have textured eyelids as well. And I just really loved this one so much. That was number nine in it. Number eight is the Tartlet Full Bloom. And I actually did a video on using this one in the video. And I will make sure that I link that for you. But this just was so gorgeous. And I know that everybody said, it's because you were drawn to the purple on the front. Melissa, well, that might be true. But there were some gorgeous mauve tones in here as well. And I really fell in love with this palette. The formula is every bit what Tartt's formula is. It's very soft and it's very buttery. But I loved that they gave us so many options in this palette. It reminds me very much almost of the Stone Cold, but you're not seeing those options as much because it's set in a gold background. So it might look a little bit extra warm to you. Whereas there are warms in here, but it's pinks and mauves and cool tones. And I just fell in love with it completely. So here are the swatches for it. What I liked about this palette is that it truly wasn't too pigmented. And you might think that that is weird. But when you're light tone skin, light to medium, sometimes the shadows that you wear can get so dark so quickly. And that was really a worry for me with these. But these just really are buildable, but they don't go on so stark in the beginning that you're going to get your look looking too dark, too fast. And so I really appreciated that one. And at number seven are the little palettes that came out from Essence. The one that I loved the most was the Tope It Up. And then I really liked to mauve it, mauve it. One as well. I really liked to mauve it, mauve it. Anyway, I just love that this was such a muted mauve toned palette. It has some of the prettiest colors in it. And I really fell in love with this. And it is one of those ones that, again, you don't have that stark in your face right off the bat look. You get these muted tones that you can build up, but you also don't have to have them so stark. And these are just beautiful mauve tones. They're not like deep purple tones or anything like that. They're just cool mauve tones. And then, of course, the Tope One is quite cool as well. This one is gorgeous for all of these beautiful grays in here. I like that you almost had to work at building these up again because you have to be careful when you're very light-skinned, but it will deepen up really well with that darkest color in here. So I would say that if you're anybody that has been needing those muted tones or those lighter tones in your wardrobe for your eyeshadow, this is gorgeous. And these palettes were really good. And at number six is the mainstage palette from LA Girl Cosmetics. This one is the Desert Dream Mainstage. And these colors are so vibrant and so beautiful. And I wore this a lot in the summertime. However, I am taking a combination of these two colors right here on my eyelids today. And then these two colors down here, just to darken up a little bit on the outer part of the lid. The formula of LA Girl, if you haven't tried these yet, rich, buttery, gorgeous, beautiful formula. And I can't say enough about how buttery the mattes are. They're just extremely beautiful. But the stars are obviously the shimmers because they're so buttery and so beautiful that they do not show up texture. And that's what I love about them. Let me just swatch five of those for you as well. Just a gorgeous formula. And I really fell in love with them. And you can tell that they're going to be very rich and pigmented. But what you can't tell on the camera is how easily blendable they are. These are ones that stick around. And especially if you use a really good eye primer, I use Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Primer. And it is one that just makes everything budge-proof for me all day long. So if you're wondering how to make your shadows extra vibrant and how to have them stick around, Anastasia Beverly Hills is the ticket. So this is a beautiful palette that I absolutely loved. And at number five is the Violet Voss Cool Vibes palette. This one, I really feel like this is a really good mix of cool and neutral. And it does have this shade right in here, which really does carry off quite warm. I find that if you have one warm shade, one that you feel like you just can't work with because you feel like you're too cool tone, if you put that in your transition and really super buff that out, that's what I've done today on that. I used that palette, this palette today. And this is what I used for the neutral colors on my eye. And then this is what I used from LA Girl for the colorful part of my eye today. But it's just one of those palettes. Again, Violet Voss's formula is so good. It's so buttery. It's so creamy. And I really have enjoyed working with it. It's been something that I hadn't tried before. And so using her formula was really fun for me. And again, we have a lot of lighter colors in here that we can work with. But if you're deeper, you're going to have a great time with this palette because it has those deep, beautiful tones. Now, this is very much like the Natasha Junona Glam palette. That one does have more colors in it than this one does. But if you've been thinking about the Natasha Junona and you couldn't afford it, this might be a great option for you. And I just think that those are just some stunning, stunning colors. I was really drawn to a lot of neutral tone palettes this year. I didn't hardly have any in my eyeshadow collection at all. And then I just found that I was drawing more and more towards those because I wanted to try formulas, but also because I was kind of toning down what I was wearing. And even though I do love to wear a colorful look like this, when I want to reach for just something that is just neutrals, the browns, the grays, that kind of thing, it's going to be one of those palettes and that Violet Voss Cool Vibes ticks off all the boxes for me. I love that thing. Number four, this one, I don't know if it's still available. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that you guys can still get this because I love this palette. This is Smitten in Switzerland from BH Cosmetics. This is a fabulous palette. Everything about this palette I love. I love that it is so many different colors, but do you see how muted they are compared to some of the color palettes that you get today? So if you are somebody that likes doing a pink, you can do that. If you like doing a green, if you like doing blue, if you like silver, you have so many choices in here, but you also can go down the road of just neutrals. I've done that with this palette as well. This is a beautiful, almost a khaki gray, and it leans very, very cool toned in. I love that about it. This one right here, you would think that that would be a very stark pink, but let me show you what it is. It's not super dark. It's a very muted pink, and then you have the other tones in here that are just so pretty. I love the greens in here. The greens in here, that khaki gray green right there, I love wearing that one because it really pulls cool tone. So this palette is another one that I love. I really like all of these ones that they named after cities and places because the formula in it was so good from BH Cosmetics. I had really, really fallen in love with the formula. So that is in it number four. Then in it number three, the Natasha Ginona Retro Palette. This has been talked about so much, and everybody knows that Natasha Ginona has a great formula, but I really never got swept into even the one that I have that is her, oh, what is it called? The Glam palette with all the neutral tones and even the tones that lean cool. I liked that, but it wasn't like my favorite in the world, but this one, this one just has the potential to do so many things for me because I love to wear a pink eyeshadow. I love wearing it. I love burgundies and pinks and that kind of thing, but you absolutely have the neutral tones in here, and then you get these warmer tones in here, which work. They, even if you don't normally like warm tones, they work really well for me. This palette I debated back and forth, and when it came out, I was like, I'm not picking that up because I really didn't think that it was for me. I thought that it was gonna be one that was just a little bit redundant for my collection, but I'm so glad I did because the colors are just incredibly beautiful. And I feel like this palette of many of her palettes that I had the chance to pick up, this palette was one that I could just work with so easily and create different looks with and really have enjoyed it so very much. And that was one that, again, I was a holdout. I just didn't think I needed this, but I'm really glad that I went ahead and got it because I feel like it's a really beautiful addition to my eyeshadow. And at number two is the Lust for Desk palette. This palette completely stole my heart. I love this palette. This is a palette that I can get so many looks out of. I felt again like it was going to be too warm, but even this color down here that is a very light peach, I can wear that and it look really good. I love the real peach that's in here, the very, very peach one. There is just some stunner colors in here. Colors that I, if I was making a palette, I never would have put together, but I'm here to tell you they come together and they go together so well. Every one of these surprised me. There are so many different, like, duo-chromes, trichromes, different textures, different possibilities in this palette. I can't even begin to tell you how many different possibilities there are from using this palette. I really fell in love with it and it was one of those. I want to just swatch this one. This is probably my favorite color in here. It's just a very, very different color. It's not like white. It's almost like a light, bleached color and it's so pretty. So the formula, again, it's a beautiful color pop formula. Very easy to blend, very easy to work with. And yes, it was one of those ones that I really love. Can you guess what my number one pick is? I went gaga over this palette as soon as it came out and it's the Rose Quartz from Hoda Beauty. This palette is insanely me. I mean, when I say that, it is just the kind of palette that I would have put together if I could have put a palette together. Maybe I would have put in a little bit more bluer purples in here and there, but together this palette is a stunner. Right here, you have a almost like a balm type formula that she created that when it comes together, it is just like putting a glaze on your eyes. It's gorgeous. And then down here, this is one of the colors that I put on one of my videos that I really adore. This is a color that shifts colors and it is incredible on your eyelid. I'm looking at my little viewfinder. Pardon me. It is beautiful. And then she really did some fantastic mattes in here too. She I love this pink that she put in here because it's light enough for me to use as a base and then put some of those other shimmers over top of. She did a great job with that one and you can hardly see it, but it is really pretty on my eyes. Get other textures in here, which are stunners. Look at the reflect on that. So it's almost like it's a taupe. It's a purple. It's a mauve. What is it? It's just so pretty. These are really great formulas. Really beautiful colors that I would never have thought to put together, but she did a great job. That is like a dusty mauve, deepened mauve. So pretty. And then this one out here, which is the super deep one. I love working with this one because it has again just hints of mauve in it, but it's dark gray and it's almost like a gunmetal gray type color. This is a stunning palette. Everything she did in here, I love. She does this swirl one right here in the corner. This is a gorgeous pink that can brighten up just about any look. And I'm running out of places. It's just really pretty. All of them are special, special shadows. And I have never been that impressed with her shadows before. I didn't get the naughty palette because I felt like it was going to be way too warm. I got the mercury in retrograde, which I've already decluttered because it just didn't work for me. But this palette, every time I pick it up, I feel creative. And I feel like I'm going to get a beautiful look out of it. And every look has been stunning so far. So I would highly recommend this if you've been thinking about it. It's one of those palettes that I don't think you can go wrong with. Her packaging is beautiful this time. It just worked out so good for me. Okay, that's it for the top 10 palettes that I purchased this year. Let me know what your favorite palette is this year. I would love to hear that in the comment section from you. Thanks everyone for being with me for another installment of the Favorites of 2021. We have a couple more to go through. I really hope that you're enjoying this. Pretty soon we'll be back to the regular tutorials. I have a couple that I've been saving up and I'm excited to bring to you as well.

CES 2020: iKuddle Smart Home for Cats
Allison Sheridan interviews Clementine Yang from iKuddle about their smart home system designed for cats. The iKuddle system includes a smart litter box that automatically scoops cat waste from the clean litter and packs the waste into a small bag. It also has an automated deodorizing system which extracts unpleasant odors using a carbon filter. The iKuddle system also comes with a smart feeder which includes a camera and a speaker that, when coupled with an AI system, recognizes which of your cats is feeding, as well as a smart water fountain that includes an embedded sensor to monitor how often your cat drinks. All of the iKuddle components are connected to a mobile app that allows you to monitor your cat's eating, drinking and waste activities throughout the day. iKuddle is in development funded by Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns and the ship date has not yet been set. The setting is CES Unveiled at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. Learn more at https://www.ikuddle.com Check out the NosillaCast Podcast at https://www.podfeet.com/

I've noticed that there is a lot about cats and cat litter at CAS this year. There are five different companies competing in this space that I've seen and right now I'm actually with Clementine Yang at the iCuddle booth to talk about the connected cat. Yes, so what we are doing is we are now just selling a litter box, we are selling a smart home for cats. So as you can see now, this is a smart litter box, what makes it so special is it's the only litter box that actually packs the waste in a little bag. So it's like really clean and like it's the most cleanest litter box you can ever find. And besides the litter box, we are also like providing a water fountain and a smart feeder. So with the smart feeder, as you can see, there is a camera and there is a speaker. So with the computer vision, which we call AI, so it can actually recognize which pet it is. So if you have a ginger cat, a white cat, so you can actually analyze how many times they are eating a day. And for the water fountain, because it's app-connected, so you will be able to find how many times your cats come to drink water. So with the whole system, you can really analyze your cat's diet and how many times they eat a day, so it's really good for their health. And that's why we call it smart home for cats. If you've ever had an older cat watching how much water they drink is incredibly important. So I noticed that there is a camera on the feeder, so you can recognize which cat. I don't see a camera on the water fountain though. Yeah, but there is actually a sensor embedded in. But does it know which cat drank? Oh! Maybe not, maybe not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's more for the food, yeah. And I'm glad to see that there's no camera in the cat litter box for privacy reasons, because that just wouldn't be good. So inside this, it's kind of a big item we're looking at here, this cat litter box is maybe three feet tall. You explained to me that there's a scoop down inside that goes through and picks it up and then does it shake it to like to save the litter? Yeah, yeah. It can actually save like 50% of the litter because it only collects the waste, but most of the other products, you know, like they just dump the whole thing in such a waste. Yeah, waste of waste. Well, thank you very much. How would people find out about iCuddle? Oh, well, we actually like we already had a Kickstarter campaign. So you go to kickstarter.com and you will find like iCuddle, like that's our brand name. And it's I-K-U-D-D-L-E. Yes. Thank you very much, Samantha. Thank you for your time.

Dear students, in this topic we shall discuss the factors affecting the rate and depth of breathing. The stimuli which affect the breathing rate and its depth are the changes in pH level and concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. Various chemoreceptors monitor changes in the oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels in the arterial blood. Is tereke chemoreceptors ki tin types hain? Number one, peripheral chemoreceptors, number two, central chemoreceptors, number three, type J chemoreceptors. Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies of mammals. In the carotid body of birds, in amphibians they are present in the carotid labyrinth while they are present in the gills of tilioste fishes. The peripheral chemoreceptors respond to falling oxygen level in water or blood. They are important in increasing the ventilation rate during the periods of hypoxia, they are innervated by the ninth or tenth cranial nerves. These students, the central chemoreceptors are sensitive to hydrogen ion concentration. They are located in the medulla of mammals and many other air breathing vertebrates. These receptors decrease, decreasing pH level korespond karte hain jab pH cerebrospinal fluid mein kam hoti hain to yeh wale receptors activate hojate hain. Or yeh jo pH koalkarte hain that is because of rays in carbon dioxide levels. Is tere se indirectly yeh carbon dioxide level ki rising korespond karte hain. Their stimulation causes increase in breathing rate. The type J receptors are located in the lungs. Inki jo position hoti hain wo yeh hain ki yeh interstitial species me mojood hain jo ke pulmonary capillaries ke bilkul kireeb hain. Isli yeh inka naam juxtapulmonary capillary receptors hain aur abrivation mein yeh type J receptors ke laate hain. Type J chemoreceptors are activated when a person is doing violent type of exercise. Kyunke iss kentee je mein respiratory capillary pressure rise karte hain aur iss ke laawa interstitial volume mein bhi zafa hote hain. Yeh jo factors hote hain, inki wajha se jab type J receptors active hote hain to de cause or induce a feeling of breathlessness, sans phulne ki jo ke fiat hote hain wo in receptors ke activation ke baad hote.

just pretty neat. So take out your cell phones and send a text to a friend or maybe a tweet to patch that you've got a show that you're going to see, maybe invite a friend to see someone else with you. We've got many events that are going on in my son's fort, five days before the festival ends. And so other important things, emergency exits are that way that you came in. And I wish myself also some restrooms around that way, and we'll be doing a hallway. So I believe now, hopefully you will finish sending your text messages, and please turn off your cell phones.

Good evening, experts. Welcome to the Hindi News Analysis by Shankar Ayes academy for the date 14 August 2019. These are the list of articles chosen for today's analysis. It has been provided along with the page numbers of different Hindu editions namely Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Tiruvannapuram edition. The link for the handwritten notes in the PDF format and the time stamping for the displayed articles is given in the description box below. And for the benefit of smartphone users, it is provided also in the comments section. Let's move on to the first article analysis for today. This news article is in news because the election commission is said to have conducted its first meeting yesterday that is on 13 August 2019. This meeting is for the delimitation exercise in Jammu and Kashmir. This was necessitated under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article has been highlighted here. The article states that the election commission has conducted a meeting to discuss about the delimitation exercise that has to be carried out in the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory. We know that after the ascent of the President, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Bill of 2019 has become an enforceable legislation and the legislation has reorganized the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories. According to the section 6 of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019, we now have 28 states and 9 union territories. We also know that the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory is made to have a legislative assembly and the union territory of Ladakh was made without a legislative assembly. So, this means elections have to be conducted in Jammu and Kashmir for the legislative assembly. Earlier, that is before the reorganization, the total number of seats in the legislative assembly of Jammu and Kashmir was 111. This includes 24 seats belonging to the region of Pakistan occupied Kashmir and 4 seats from the Ladakh region. So, if you subtract the 4 seats of Ladakh, the number of seats of present Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory in the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir Assembly is 107. But the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 mentions three things with respect to the number of members in the legislative assembly. First thing it mentions is in the section 14 subsection 3. It states that the total number of seats in the legislative assembly of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir is to be filled by persons chosen by direct election shall be 107. Then secondly in section 60 it states that the number of seats in the legislative assembly of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir shall be increased from 107 to 114 and delimitation of the constituencies may be determined by the election commission. Then in section 15 it states the left-hand governor may nominate two members to the legislative assembly to give representation to women if in his opinion women are not adequately represented in the legislative assembly. The news article states that if the number is to be increased from 107 to 114 then the number of seats in the legislative assembly excluding the Pakistan occupied Kashmir is 90. Now Ladakh is not with Jammu and Kashmir. This effectively means there is an increase of seven members in the legislative assembly compared to the number of persons elected from the present territory of erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. This is because in the erstwhile state the present territory of Jammu and Kashmir union territory elected only 83 seats excluding the 24 seats from Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Now this number shall be increased to 90 as per section 60 of the JNK Reorganization Act of 2019. This means previous legislative assembly constituencies has to be redrawn so there has to be a lot of discussions for drawing the limits of the new legislative assembly constituencies. That is why the news article mentions that in what part of JNK the seven seats will be formed remains to be decided. Now here the word delimitation means to mark the boundary or limits of in our context it means to mark the boundaries of legislative assemblies of new union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Now the section 60 mentions that the delimitation for the purpose of increasing the number of seats from 107 to 114 may be determined by the election commission of India. Also section 62 clause 2 states that the readjustment of the constituencies as provided under section 60 in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir into assembly constituencies shall be carried by the delimitation commission to be constituted under the delimitation act of 2002. Now as per the section 14 subsection 6 of Rearmacition Act seats shall be reserved for the schedule casts and the schedule tribes in the legislative assembly of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The news article mentions that this provision could tip the scales of one region because this region has the population of around 8 lakhs. Here tip the scales means that something that could be the main deciding factor in favor of a particular region by reservation. People in this region are those who came as refugees from Sialkot to Jammu and Kashmir. These people have not been given any voting rights in the first 12 state legislative assembly but it is highly expected that they will be given voting rights for the upcoming election of legislative assembly of the new union territory. It is said that most of the persons among the refugees are persons belonging to the schedule casts. The news reports are saying that most of the refugees are at present are settled in camps across the Jammu region in the Jammu and Kashmir. And the section 60 clause 2 sub clause C of the Reorganization Act states that constituencies in which seats are to be reserved for the schedule casts and the schedule tribes shall be located as far as practicable in the areas where the proportion of their population to the total population is the largest. That is why the news article mentions that the provision could favor the reservation of seats for the schedule casts and schedule tribes could be in favor of the region that is dominated by the maximum number of persons belonging to the scheduled casts. All the efforts related to the delimitation has to be completed so that the elections for the legislative assembly can be conducted at the earliest. It is expected that if all these exercises are carried out as planned then the earliest possible time for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir union territory would be in March 2020. With this we come to the end of this news analysis. Now this news article mentions few facts with respect to the delimitation discussions initiated by the election commission. These discussions are with respect to the seven extra seats which are necessitated under section 60 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019. The syllabus will be the same as that of the previous news article. This news article presents the statement made by the ex-officio member of the delimitation commission and the former chief election commissioner. He said that the increase in the number of seats was an issue which is a political decision of the parliament. Also he added that the commission would start the work of delimitation exercise as soon as possible as required under the law. The law he refers would be the delimitation act of 2002 and also the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019. The news article mentions the procedure that could be adopted in the delimiting exercise. For having some kind of equality with respect to the number of voters total population of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir will be divided by 114 seats. The news article says 114 but we know that this number also includes the 24 seats from the Pakistan occupied Kashmir region of Jammu and Kashmir. So we are not sure whether the total population will be inclusive of the number of people living in the Pakistan occupied region or will the number of seats with which the total population will be divided is to be 90. Now after finding the average number of voters for the required number of seats they have to also ensure that the boundary of constituencies are consistent and compatible as much as possible with the administrative units of union territories. These administrative units could be the divisions and the districts in the union territory. The news article mentions that the delimitation will be based on the 2011 census till the year 2026. This is based on section 14 subsection 7 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019. Now the part 5 of this act deals with the delimitation of constituencies. This part defines that the delimitation commission means the delimitation commission to be constituted under section 3 of the delimitation act of 2002. These commissions shall be constituted by the central government. The news article also talks about the people belonging to the scheduled tribes of Gujarat and Bakarwal. They follow a migratory pattern of lifestyle in search of resources such as water, grassland, etc. They trek upwards to mountainous areas in summers and in winters they travel downwards to the regions of Jammu. This is because they are mainly involved in animal rearing and therefore they are dependent on the grazing land. This is one of the main reasons for their migration lifestyle. Their lifestyle and migration pattern are therefore heavily influenced by geography. There is few other information that we can take from the news article such as about 56.2% of the population of Jammu and Kashmir lives in the division of Kashmir. There are two divisions in this one is Jammu division and the other is Kashmir division. The remaining population that is around 43.8% are living in the Jammu division. The district with the largest population in Jammu and Kashmir belongs to the Jammu division. This district is the Jammu district. This district is followed by the Srinagar district in the Kashmir division. Then the union territory of Ladakh has a population of around 2.7 lakhs. Now these are the sum of extra facts about Jammu and Kashmir that you can take note of. With this we have come to the end of this article analysis. This practice question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article which is an editorial about the concerns raised about the National Medical Commission Act of 2019. Now remember that in the article it has been mentioned as bill but the bill was passed by both the houses of the parliament and the president also gave a cent on August 8th. So now this bill has become an act. The syllabus that can be linked with this discussion has been given here for your reference. The National Medical Commission Act of 2019 aims to improve the medical education system in India. According to the prime minister the act will improve transparency, accountability and quality in the governance of medical education in the country. But ever since its introduction as a bill it faced with protests by different sections of population including the medical professionals. This news article examines the important concerns that are raised by the protesters. Now let us discuss the important concerns that were raised and let us analyze from the author's point of view. The first concern is about the proposed national eligibility come entrance test that is NEAT and the national exit test that is NEXT. It has been proposed under section 14 and section 15 of the act respectively. According to the author in the past years a separate NEAT was being conducted for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and in addition to this there were different examinations for prominent medical institutions like AIMS that is All India Institute of Medical Sciences and JIPMA that is Javaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research. But the act proposes a single NEAT exam for admission to undergraduate medical education in all medical institutions that are regulated under this act. So this in turn avoids multiple counseling processes. Now in this the next examination will act as the final year MBBS examination across India. It is an entrance test to the postgraduate level. Next will be a licensate exam. It will provide license for medical graduates to practice. So according to this author this exam aims to reduce disparities or differences in the skill sets of doctors who are graduating from different institutions. Also this NEXT exam will be a single licensate exam for graduate across the world which means even foreign graduates are included in this exam. So the author states that the government has actually implemented a one nation one exam in the medical education. Then the second concern is about the section 32 of the act. This section authorizes the government to allow non-medical degree holders to practice medicine as community health providers. But the protesters believes that this will legalize quacks in the country. Here quack is a person who dishonestly claims to have special knowledge and skill in medicine. So the protesters believe that this act will create more frauds in the medical field. If you consider the 2011 census almost 70% of the population lives in the rural India. But according to the author the present ratio of doctors in urban and rural area is 3.8 is 21. So almost 27,000 doctors serve about 650,000 villages in India. The author mentions a WHO report which shows that nearly 80% of allopathy doctors in the rural areas are without a medical qualification. Here allopathy is the conventional or the modern medicine. Now this NMC act attempts to address this gap by utilizing modern medicine professional in the rural areas who are without a medical degree. That is who are actually not doctors. So they will provide primary and preventive health care. Now to support this provision of the act the author cites the example of China, Thailand and United Kingdom where such integration resulted in better health outcomes. And it is also to be noted that the Indian states of Assam and Chhattisgarh have experienced with community health workers. So the author believes that the move to provide limited license will not legalize quacks because the act mentions that they need to qualify certain criteria as specified by the regulation. Next the third concern is regarding the capping of the fees. Now this is given in the section 10 clause 1 sub clause I of the act. This provision allows the commission to determine the fees and all other charges with respect to 50% of the seats in private medical institutions and also when they deemed it to be universities. But those who criticize the act believe that at present the state government determines fees for minimum of 85% of seats in private medical institutions. So the cap of 50% would create a situation of economic reservation where only rich students will be able to get seats. The author says that it is an open secret that private medical colleges are capitation fee driven. By capitation fee the author means the fees that is collected by the private medical institutions and this fee is based on making profit only. Not only this the private medical colleges resort to discretionary management of quota and they often face charges of corruption. But if you consider the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956 there is no provision for fee regulation. So the author believes that the NMC Act removes this discretion and allows National Medical Commission to frame guidelines for determining not just fees but all other charges in that 50% of the seats. So in turn this will benefit the poor and meritorious students. The author says that setting up a medical college requires huge investment. So a cap on fees is necessary. But there is also a need for incentives to attract private investors. So the act also provides for the rating of medical colleges. This is expected to benefit students as they will be able to make informed decisions before seeking admissions to particular colleges. Then the next and fourth concern is regarding reducing the number of elected representatives and increasing the number of nominated representatives in the commission. The author cites the report of former vice chancellor of Nitya Yoke. According to that report the existing electoral process in the commission was flawed, compromised and it is not best suited for its functioning. In the present system the recognized doctors elect the members of Medical Council of India. But the new act proposes an extensive mix of elected and nominated representatives. The act also addresses the concerns of states. This is done by adding members from state medical councils and universities. Then the fifth concern is regarding the overriding powers that is given to the center. One of the such power is to remove members of NMC including the chairperson. The author says that the existing medical council of India does not pay attention to the government's directions all the time. But the citizens expect government to address the issues during public emergencies. Hence the government should be able to give directions so that the NMC must comply with the government policies. So if they do not comply with the policies then they can remove the members of NMC or they can even remove the chairperson of NMC. So the use of such authority would follow the principle of natural justice. It means that the opinion of NMC would be sought before giving directions. Then as a conclusion the author says that a section of the society has a negative perception against the select classes of the act. But at the same time they fail to highlight other features of the act. One of the such feature is that the act establishes the diplomat of national board under section 37 of the act. This recognizes the medical qualification granted by statutory or other bodies in India which are subjected to the regulations of the act. The act also promotes medical pluralism by encouraging the interface between homeopathy, Indian system of medicines and modern system of medicines. This is given under section 50 of the act. Here medical pluralism means the use of more than one medical system like conventional and model system to treat illness. The author says this act is outcome focused because it aims to increase the number of doctors. It aims to improve their quality and skills and it also aims to reduce corruption in the system. Also the section 16 of the act enables the central government to constitute autonomous boards with segregated functions such as autonomous boards for undergraduates, for postgraduate, for assessment and rating etc. This will avoid the conflict of interests and it will reduce rent seeking opportunities. That is it will reduce the manipulation of public policy for making profits. Then the section 34 of the act provides for imprisonment or fine or both for the quacks also. So the author believes that the act is a culmination or conclusion of efforts by successive governments to reform the medical education in the country. Such reforms are essential to assess the improvements in the healthcare. So the NMC act meets the primary need of more medical professionals in the country and it is just the beginning. With this we have come to the end of this article discussion. The displayed practice question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article analysis which is about GI tag. The discussion can be linked to the given syllabus that has been provided here for your reference. The news article states that the famous Pallani Panjamritham has been granted the geographical indication tag or the GI tag. It is to be noted that this is the first time a temple prasadam from the state of Tamil Nadu has been bestowed or granted with the GI tag. Here prasadam means the sacred food. Now also remember that one another famous prasadam already has a GI tag. That prasadam is Tirupati Laddu. It is from the state of Andhra Pradesh. It was given the tag in the year 2009. Now one prasadam from Tamil Nadu that is Pallani Panjamritham has been given the GI tag. The Pallani Panjamritham is a food stuff. If you see in the name Panjamritham, pancha means five. So, the panjamritham is a combination of five natural substances. They are banana, jaggery, cow ghee, honey and cardamom. Along with these natural substances, dates and diamond sugar candies are also added for the flavor. This panjamritham is an Abhishek prasadam. Which means it is a food that is a religious offering. It is one of the main offerings for Lord Dandayudapani Swami who is the presiding deity of Arunmegu Dandayudapani Swami temple. This temple is situated on the Pallani hills of Dindigul district in Tamil Nadu. So, the geographical area for production of panjamritham is the Pallani town in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu. This panjamritham is served in a semi-solid state. Now, based on the ingredients, you can also say that this panjamritham is sweet in taste. Now, let us see some of the unique features of this sacred food. First, it is prepared in a natural method without addition of any preservatives or artificial ingredients. Then the Pallani Panjamritham that is originating from the Pallani is not subjected to any chemical process. Then not even a single drop of water is added during the preparation of the panjamritham. Now, this gives the Pallani Panjamritham its classic semi-solid consistency and a classic taste also. The Pallani Panjamritham is heated at a particular temperature. This keeps it fresh and consumable for a longer time as no preservatives are added to it. It is said that Pallani Panjamritham has a unique and aromatic flavor with medicinal properties as compared to other panjamritham that is produced in the place. Then if you see the method of its production also includes a unique process. This results in the panjamritham that is being produced in Pallani to have its own identity. The whole process of its production is automated. This is because there is an increasing demand and through this automated production it is ensured that hygienic aspects are highly maintained. In the olden days the Pallani Panjamritham was prepared on the top of the hill in the traditional manner and most of the preparation was manual only. But the demand for panjamritham was increasing so it was decided to mechanize and modernize the production units of Pallani Panjamritham. Then the temple authorities approached the central food technical research institute or CFTRI Mysore for the advice on the mechanization of production unit. Here mechanization means introduction of machines or automatic devices into a process. Then based on the advice of CFTRI a separate mechanized unit for preparation of Pallani Panjamritham was established. So at present the preparation of Pallani Panjamritham is fully automated and it is hygienically produced. Also the Pallani Panjamritham is prepared under the guidance given by the Central Food Technical Research Institute that is CFTRI Mysore. The raw materials are also subjected to CFTRI quality test and it is prepared only under the guidance of CFTRI report given by the CFTRI. Now also know that the CFTRI or Central Food Technical Research Institute is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research New Delhi that is CFTRI is a CSIR laboratory. The CFTRI came into existence during 1950. Its objective is to advance the knowledge and to apply that knowledge in the area of food science and food technology for the society. Now let us revise what is GI tag and its importance which we discussed some 15 days ago. Normally as humans we have a desire for quality and genuine premium products. These products have distinct characteristics and they originate from a particular region. These distinct characteristics were the identification for that particular product and these products became so important that those particular regions started specializing in producing these unique products. This led to the identification of such goods as originating from a particular region and over a period of time those products became renowned or famous globally for its distinct characteristics. So demand for such products started rising among the consumers. Now this demand gave rise for counterfeit or fake products. These fake products began to damage the image of genuine products. So the genuine products have to be protected by safeguarding the interest of the producers and the interest of consumers also. This protection led to the evolution and conceptualization of geographical indications. So geographical indications or GIs are a class of intellectual property which is used primarily to identify products as originating from a particular geographical area. The term geographical indications was first used in TRIPS agreement that is trade related aspects of intellectual property rights agreement. According to this TRIPS agreement geographical indications are indications which identify a good or product as originating in a territory of a country or a region or locality in that territory. Now in that the product should have a given quality, reputation or other characteristic that is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. Then INJA also enacted the geographical indications of goods registration and protection act of 1999. This act came into force with effect from 15 September 2003. The act is administered by the controller general of patents designs and trademarks who is the registrar of geographical indications. Now also remember the geographical indications registry is located at Chennai. Now if you see the objective of this act is threefold. Firstly it is the specific law governing the geographical indications of goods in the country which could adequately protect the interest of producers of such goods. Secondly it excludes unauthorized persons from misusing geographical indications and it protects consumers from deception or duplication. And thirdly it promotes goods bearing Indian geographical indications in the export market also. Now this act defines a geographical indication as an indication which identifies such goods as agricultural goods, natural goods or manufactured goods as originating or manufactured in the territory of a country or a region or locality in that country. Then such goods should have the given quality reputation or other characteristic which is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. Then in case where such goods are manufactured goods then one of the activities of either the production of the good or processing of the good or preparation of the good that is concerned should take place in that territory or in that region or in that locality. Now the goods not only include agricultural natural or manufactured goods but also it includes any goods of handicraft or goods of industry and it also includes food stuff as we saw today. So now what is the benefit of registration of geographical indications? Now this registration confers legal protection to geographical indications in India. It prevents unauthorized use of a registered geographical indication by others. Then it provides legal protection to Indian geographical indications which in turn boost exports. Then it promotes economic prosperity of producers of those goods which is produced in a geographical territory. Now also remember that the registration of a geographical indication is valid for a period of 10 years only. After that it has to be renewed. Now some examples of this GI tags include Basmati rice, Darjeeling tea, Kanjipuram silk sari, Nakpur orange, Kolhapuri chappal, Bikaneri Bhujia, then Agra Peta. Now if you remember some 15 days ago we also discussed that Kodaikanal Malai Pundu and the Odisha Rasagulla was given the GI tag. So remember recently the Kodaikanal Malai Pundu, the Odisha Rasagulla and now the Parani Pancham Ratham has been granted the GI tag. With this we have come to the end of this article discussion. The practice question displayed here will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article discussion which is about the decline in automobile sales. The discussion can be linked to the syllabus that has been given here for your reference. The automobile industry in India is witnessing a large-scale drop in sales. The monthly sales was declined by 18.71 percentage for July. According to the article, this was the worst ever decline in monthly sales in the last 19 years. Previously the biggest decline was witnessed in December 2000. There was a decline of 21.81 percentage. Now one of the main reason for this kind of decline is the poor consumer demand. Now this poor consumer demand forces the industry to go for cutting jobs in order to reduce the impact. Earlier the automobile industry demanded for a stimulus to reduce this decline. They have reiterated the same demand to the government ahead of the festive season. As per the report of automobile industry body SIAM that is Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the passenger vehicle segment witnessed the worst decline. There was almost 31% decline in July 2019. Here the passenger vehicles includes cars, utility vehicles, vans, etc. All of these witnessed a decline in sales. Similarly, the two-wheeler sales has decreased by 16.82 percentage in July 2019. Now two-wheeler category includes scooters and motorcycles. Now for the commercial vehicles the decline in growth was 25.71 percentage for July 2019. So based on the reduction in sales the SIAM has demanded a revival package from the government. It said that the industry is doing everything to promote the sales such as providing huge discounts also. But still there is a decline in sales and this decline continues to result in loss of jobs. The industry body has admitted that casual and temporary workers are losing jobs. The decline in sales will lead to decline in component production. So it is expected to result in over a million job losses. Further with the decline in sales hundreds of dealerships are forced to shut down. So this will result in further job loss. If you remember earlier the industry representatives had met the union finance minister and they raised several demands such as rationalization of GST to the automobile sector. It is presently between 18 percentage to 28 percentage. Here by rationalization they mean the reduction in GST of automobile and the associated industries will bring down the final prices of the vehicle. So this will boost the demand. Next they also demanded the government to take steps to increase the liquidity in the economy. This is because the crisis that was associated with NBFCs that is non banking finance companies have affected the purchasing powers of the people. Usually the NBFCs finance the people to buy vehicles by providing loans. So the reduction in lending capacity of NBFCs following the crisis in the sector has reduced the flow of money in the economy. Then the industry also expected some sort of import duty to discourage the import of auto components from China. It is estimated that 27 percentage of total auto components which are worth over 1 billion US dollars are imported from China. Now this adversely impacts the less competitive Indian auto components manufacturers. So the industry expects a tariff duty on import of auto components from China. Then the industry also demanded to give more focus to the Make in India initiative. Because this initiative will give incentive for auto component manufacturers in India and it will be a desirable step to do. So this would enable them to be more competitive as compared to the foreign industries. Then they also demanded that as the BS6 pollution norms will be implemented by 1st April 2020 the government should give a stimulus package to the industry. Because the BS6 pollution norms requires huge additional investment by the automobile manufacturers to adhere to the norms. This would further increase the price of vehicles. So that is why the industry is expecting certain stimulus package from the government. Now it is to be noted that almost 1 million or 10 lakh people are directly employed by the automobile sector in India. The industries associated with the automobile industry such as small component makers, dealerships etc provides jobs for almost 19 million people that is they provide jobs for 1 crore 9 lakh people overall. So because of the recent crisis in the sector almost 2.3 lakh people have lost their jobs recently. So the government must look into the issue and they should address the concerns in the industry as soon as possible. With this we have come to the end of this article discussion. Now we have come to the last session for the day that is the practice questions discussion session. Now in this first question two statements have been given. We have to choose the correct statement. The first statement states India comprises of 29 states and 7 union territories. Now after reading this statement you may think this is a very simple statement but actually this statement is wrong because when the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated India had 29 states and 7 union territories because at that time Telangana became the 29th state. But now when the state of Jammu and Kashmir has been bifurcated it has been reorganized into two union territories. So that means from the 29 states we have lost one state that is one state has to be reduced. So now we have 28 states and we have additionally two union territories. So the total number of union territories is 9 union territories and also know that the section 6 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 explicitly says that so now we have totally 28 states and 9 union territories. So this statement is wrong. Then if you look at the second statement it states 4 of the union territories are with legislative assembly. Now when we had 7 union territories we know that Delhi and Puducherry were the union territories which had legislative assembly. Now among the union territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir only Jammu and Kashmir has legislative assembly not Ladakh. So now totally we have only 3 union territories which are with legislative assembly. So this statement is also wrong. So the correct answer to this question is neither 1 nor 2. Now this next question is with respect to Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019. The first statement states it abolishes the legislative council that was in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Now this statement is correct. This is because the section 57 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 abolishes the legislative council of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Then if you look at the second statement it states it provides for increasing the number of seats in the legislative assembly of the union territory of JNK from 107 to 114. Now this statement is also correct because this statement is based on section 60 subsection 1 of the Reorganization Act. During our analysis we have analyzed these numbers and the numbers of seats with respect to the Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Ladakh and the region excluding Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Ladakh. So this statement is correct. Now if you look at the third statement it states the act provides for the nomination of two members to the legislative assembly to give representation to the Anglo-Indian community. If the lieutenant governor feels that they are not adequately represented in the legislative assembly. Now during the analysis we saw that under section 15 of the act the lieutenant governor of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir may nominate two members to the legislative assembly to give representation to women. If in his opinion women are not adequately represented in the legislative assembly but there is no mention of a particular community in this section. So we do not know whether they belong to Anglo-Indian community only or not. So this statement is wrong. Now after seeing the statement you may confuse it with the provisions of the Indian constitution in which the article 331 says that the president of India will nominate two members from Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha. So do not confuse these two statements. The question asks for the correct statements. Here statement one and two are the correct statements. So the final answer to this question is option C one and two only. Now this question is based on geographical indications. Two statements have been given and we have to choose the correct statement. The first statement states the geographical indications of goods registration and protection act was enacted in the year 1999. So we have to ensure whether this act was enacted in this year or not. Yes this act was enacted in this year that is in the year 1999. So this statement is correct. If you look at the next statement it states the geographical indications registry is located at Chennai. Yes this statement is also correct. The geographical indications registry is located at Chennai only and also remember that the controller general of patents designs and trademarks is the registrar of geographical indications. The question asks for the correct statements. Here statement one and statement two both are correct. So the final correct answer to this question is option C both one and two. Now let us see one main question with respect to GS paper two. The question is the health sector in India needs continuous reforms to provide effective healthcare service. In this context analyze the concerns associated with the National Medical Commission Act of 2019. Now for answering this question you can say that this act aims to improve the medical education system in India. The prime minister's comment on this act that is he said that it will improve transparency accountability and quality in the governance of medical education in the country. Then for the concerns you can say the question asks to analyze the concerns raised by this act. Now during our discussion we discussed five concerns with respect to this act. So you can mention all of them such as the first concern was with respect to the proposed need and next examinations. This act proposes a single need exam for admission to undergraduate medical education in all medical institutions that are regulated under the act. You can say that this in turn avoids multiple counseling processes. Then you can say the next examination is a license sheet exam because it will provide license for medical graduates to practice medicine. So it will reduce the disparities in the skill sets of doctors who are graduating from different institutions. Then the next concern is with respect to the community health providers where you can say the protesters believe that this provision will legalize quacks in the country. Either you can support this statement or you can use the stand taken by the author of that editorial. Like you can say that the NMC act attempts to address the gap of doctors in the urban areas and the rural areas because this act provides for the utilization of modern medical professionals in the rural areas who are without medical degree to provide primary and preventive health care. You can say that this measure was successful in different countries such as China, Thailand and United Kingdom. Then you can say that the states of Assam and Chhattisgarh have experience of using the community health providers. So the other parts of the country can take example from these countries and states. Then the third concern was with respect to the capping of the fees because the act says that the commission will determine the fees and all other charges with respect to 50% of the seats in the private medical institutions and in the deemed to be universities. So this will benefit the poor and meritorious students but the critics feel that this is a lesser number of seats because currently the state governments determine the fees of private medical institutions for about 85% of seats. So they feel that the capping of fees with respect to only 50% of seats will provide for differences in admissions with respect to the poor sections and rich sections of the population. Then the next concern was with respect to the overriding powers which was given to the center by this act. Now the government says that the citizens expect government to address issues during the public emergencies. So that is why they have given overriding powers to the center. So like this you can mention the concerns which we discussed during the analysis and you can also add your own viewpoints based on today's analysis. With this we have come to the end of today's analysis sessions.

Let us begin with this next module which is on friction modeling ok. So, think of a friction what what comes to your mind ok and let us see how how this friction can be modeled. So, see in the day to day life we experience this phenomena of friction. You have a block lying on the surface you start try to move it it is there is some friction resistance that will be paid. You try to move it in opposite direction friction is turning into opposite direction that is a simple thing that everybody has experienced in their life. So, what it what comes to your mind as a simple friction model like that we will start kind of you know thinking about friction with some common sense understanding and like making it little more deeper and deeper. So, let me switch to the slides mode ok and get my pointer also right let us see yeah pointer is here. So, so that is a model that you have been like familiar with probably in your JEE mechanics and other kind of courses is based on like say ok friction friction is equal to mu n ok that is what you say ok. Now can you represent really in mathematics this friction is equal to mu n how do you represent it in a mathematical form ok think about it write down the equation of friction model ok. So, while while say say you have a block that is resting on the on the on the surface and it is applied by some force F and it is opposed by say some friction force F F and small f then how do you write the dynamics of this system. So, you now of course, they know the additional force F F needs to be getting considered here. So, the F then will be equal to m times acceleration plus this additional force F F. Now how do you express this F F as a mathematical equation ok that is a question ok. So, now we will see see that different different kinds of our scenarios here. This is a scenario that we are we are just talking about we have a force it is getting applied on the mass m as this F force and there is a friction as F and small f is its you know symbol and now we want to represent this force ok. So, we know that as I move the block in this direction ok. So, the block is if it is moved in one direction then the friction force is in this direction. If the block gets moved in other direction then the friction force is in the opposite direction that is what we know. Now, if I say the block moves in this direction can I capture that intent of that by looking at x? Probably not because even if I am at some other different x value I can be moving in the other direction ok. I can be at a positive x, but moving in the moving towards the zero value ok. So, so x may not capture that intent, but x dot may capture that intent right because if x dot is positive that means I am moving in this direction my direction of velocity is this ok. If x dot is negative my direction of velocity is opposite ok. So, let us get pen here. So, if x dot is positive I am moving in this direction ok. I need to change the color of the pen also. So, so x dot changes x dot this is the positive x dot here ok. So, this x dot is positive here and then we have this direction of x dot that will be negative ok. So, so the friction will occur in the direction opposite to the direction of x dot ok right. So, x dot if it is moving in this direction the friction will be in the opposite direction if x dot is moving in this direction friction will be opposite to that direction ok. So, that is how like now you need to capture the friction in the in the equation ok. And a magnitude of friction say for simple when you have this mu n kind of a way of representing the system you know typically you say ok or the friction force here is mu times n ok. So, so that is mu times n only after the block starts moving ok. Before the block starts moving friction is equal to this f force ok. So, we can see ok whether that can be also captured in the model. So, think about what is that way we can write now the equation for f of f here f f here ok the friction force here. So, one can use what kind of a functions mathematical functions one can use to kind of get this direction the directionality dependence represented. So, if I plot in the with respect to x dot the friction force then the friction force is positive value here ok as x dot is positive and then friction force changes its direction and becomes negative at as x dot becomes negative, but for any other value of x dot friction is is still remaining the same that is like a Coulomb friction model ok. So, this mu n you say ok no matter what is the velocity of x dot you say ok your friction is always mu n ok there is some maximum like no limiting value of the friction that you consider. We do not consider any dependence on x dot for the for the friction in our normal kind of a you know Coulomb friction kind of a model or normal like what we have studied in mechanics. I mean the simple j e kind of a think classes ok. So, write down this equation you develop this equation and then like you posit here and develop this equation and then like you know think see that. So, this f f is f c sign of x dot ok. So, f f will be actually should be negative here ok you can put this sign negative here because it is in the opposite direction to force f here ok. So, negative of this signum of x dot. So, x dot is in this direction then friction is is in the in the negative direction to x dot ok. So, that may change this also in the opposite direction by the way ok. So, r l is like we can consider this as a f f and in the equations you can use my negative f f or whatever. So, so the the intent is important here you can kind of correct little bit integrity of these equations, but when x dot is a positive direction then like you know this friction should have a negative direction ok. So, that is a that is a way you can represent the friction. Oh sorry this may not be there because I am considering this. So, this is a positive only here because f f itself is considered in this direction that is what is is being considered here ok. This is already taken care of here. So, do not worry about the the sign is really positive only here because I am direct actually drawing this force in the in the negative direction here anyway. So, that that sign is taken care of because I am kind of like you know representing this force in the opposite direction. So, when I am drawing the free world diagram that time also I need to have the friction also coming in the similar kind of a direction then things will be fine ok. So, that is how things will go and this f c will be actually you know your mu c into n ok. So, this Coulomb friction coefficient of friction will will come into picture. Now, we want to kind of little bit complicated matter ok. So, now we know already that you know this x dot is also going to affect like know your friction force because we know that viscous component we have talked about in the in the motor model ok that bearing has some viscous friction in it. But typically people normally consider only this viscous part and like they they do not consider Coulomb part because viscous part gives nice you know x dot relationship without this Coulomb component if x dot that relationship is is linear in nature it is not it does not have this nonlinearity. So, you see this like you know sudden jump from here to here for the friction as x dot changes is is is some kind of a nonlinearity in the system or if you see in terms of this signum function signum function itself is a non-linear function that is why like you know this becomes a non-linear equations. So, your system becomes non-linear with this kind of a functions. So, again one can think about what is this friction force you pause here again think about and write the equations considering now this viscous part also and you will find you come back to this. So, this you will find now that ok this friction force is equal to now this f c signum x dot plus now c x dot. So, this is additional component corresponding to the velocity or viscous friction that will get added ok. So, this is how like you know you will represent this you know Coulomb plus viscous friction kind of a model. Is that sufficient? What do you think? Think about this part is this sufficient yet you see I have you remember we have done this small like I asked you to kind of take out your mobile and keep it on the surface and apply a force to control ok. So, when you apply a force does it starts start moving immediately or you feel some some stickiness ok. Especially if you have a you know cover on your mobile you will feel that stickiness with that rubbery kind of a material. So, that stickiness comes as an additional kind of a friction part in the model. How do you consider that it is called a stickiness ok that is there only to begin with ok. Once motion starts then you do not feel that much resistance ok that is called a stickiness or stickiness in the in the system, stickiness is a term that is used for that. So, with the stickiness how do you this how this picture for the model will change this picture basically. How do you represent stickiness in this part ok that you can think about and draw that and then like you need to see what is a corresponding representation for the equation again. So, this is a stickiness. So, you have momentarily very large kind of a force called FS coming up here and then like now it decreases suddenly and you have this again our Coulomb and a physical friction continue ok. So, this is like now little more enhanced model with the stickiness considered. Now again how do you represent this into how do you represent stickiness now in the in the mathematical form. Pause again for a while write your own equations you go and you create that kind of a space in your mind to understand what what is being said here. Otherwise like you know you just read this slide sort of go through this as if you are like you know recording go through this recording as if you are just kind of listening to some video things may not make sense unless you do some stuff ok. So, please like you know write down what is a what is that you think as a equation for this this case and then like you will see this equation coming up ok. So, now this FF will be FC signum X dot plus C X dot that is what we had previously, but that that is now only valid for X dot is greater than 0 ok. It is not valid when X dot is equal to 0. So, what is what that is valid at X dot is equal to 0 what you should represent there. So, now X dot is equal to 0 you cannot use signum of X dot, but still there is a change in the sign of this FS value ok. FS is positive here, FS is negative here. How do you kind of consider that ok what kind of thing that you can use think about this again see how can you represent that and then like you will see this. So, what you need to do is you need to take F applied here now see the the system is not moving, but you are applying force if F applied itself is 0 then again like now this FF is going to be 0, but if F applied is equal to value which is more. So, F applied is 0 then signum of FS signum of F applied will have some kind of you know strong like a positive value ok. So, till the time F applied becomes equal to you know F applied becomes equal to FS, F applied is what is going to kind of be the friction force ok. Once F applied becomes equal to FS ok. So, F applied is equal to FS then like this friction force will reach its limit value and things will start moving once the motion happens then like now you switch from this condition to this condition and then like now the friction value is now coming down to suddenly to Fc you know. So, that is how like now this this would be represented in the model form ok. So, till the time F is applied F applied becomes exceeds FS value by something and then the system starts moving X dot changes its value then like now you get into this equation before that you are into this equation ok. So, F F applied has to like now go beyond FS to get into this form that is what it means. So, you see this model representation. So, one can simulate this system also and then check out like now say a simple system like mass resting on the surface with this kind of a thing how the system is going to behave one can check ok. By the way think about this in simulation can you represent it like that and hope to simulate. Do you see any difficulty that may happen here? So, think about these issues they are like not very trivial issues that ok they will you may expect some difficulty when there is this kind of a non-linearity or discontinuousness in the system. It has something to do with some basic conditions that need to be satisfied for the solutions of differential equation to exist ok. So, we will see that ok. Now, again is this enough think about whether this is enough again ok. So, this captures most of the things, but you know the main thing that is happening that this FS going from suddenly becoming FC that is somewhere like you know it is not in the nature the things are not so, sudden ok. So, we for this to understand little more about this we need to like really go into microscopic level of like you know what is happening into this how this friction is coming up in the first place and understandly different phenomena that are happening there and then we can enhance this model further to see that ok. This FS does not go to FC in that is kind of a sudden fashion here X is equal to 0 and X is greater than 0 you have some sudden value coming up here. So, there is like more like a smooth pattern that may be happening here ok. So, this smoothness that is happening here is the next thing to capture how this smoothness will come is here you can see this has at a microscopic level you can see. So, see some differences that is like you know this is a the asperities of this are in contact with each other undulation or asperities on the surface that engage with each other and what will happen when the force is applied in the side wise direction if this asperities on the surface will start deforming and then they will start kind of like you know breaking and at some other point the contacts will happen or some other point the asperities will start coming up ok. So, when they will move relative to each other like you know say right now this is a picture of the contacts of asperities are happening at many different places. As I start moving this contact will break from these places and it will start making up some other places ok. So, the contact areas will get deformed to some extent. So, this kind of a phenomena that is happening will make that transition to be not so like you know sudden it will make that transition to be little bit smoother ok. So, this actually also explains like this breakage of the contact happens and then now new contacts coming like again they will break again new contacts will coming again they will break that is the kind of a thing that will happen continuously here. But once first time the contacts are broken like that is the highest force that will need for breaking the contacts. Next contact is made and like you know immediately it is broken it is not allowed for the for the settling of the system to in that contact position. So, that is why that force will be little lesser than you know initial contact breaking force. So, that is what you need to see that and slowly as the velocity increases you will find this force will come gradually down ok. So, this phase is coming down to F c is in a gradual manner. So, you can use conceive some model for the for that gradual change and that will typically be based on some experimental observations ok. So, you get the experimental profile and then like based on that experimental profile one can kind of think about this kind of a model ok what kind of model can fit this profile ok. So, this is a experimental profile for example like you know the the F s will come down to F c and then like you know you will have this slowly the coulomb the viscous component of the friction kicking in to kind of get here get this again higher value ok. So, this is a kind of a gradual change that will happen in the actual scenario. In some systems like you know metal to metal contact this this this may not be the key situation. So, there so, you need to kind of see these are the situation where is like you know it is talked about in general for the entire model of the friction. Now, some phenomena may be dominant in some cases some phenomena may not be dominant in some cases ok. So, we we need to consider that appropriately. Say for example, in in your system like distinction and F c will be there, but there is this this change may not be so, gradual ok. Then you it it it may be more of a sudden change also possibility ok. So, the slope of this this coming down here let me make a point right. The slope of this coming down here may be may be a very very large slope here ok. So, that may be possibility and then it will rise again ok. In some cases it will come like a very gradually down and then go like that you may have different different possibilities depending upon like you know the surfaces and materials that we are we are using. But I am giving you all these different kinds of a model possibility. So, that one can choose one of these models shooting to to the system at hand ok. And that is how like you know one can think about and and get appropriate model to to appropriate details. You may not be see if you are always using motor at little bit higher speeds you are not bothered about this this part at all ok. You are not stopping and starting motor multiple times and you are not interested in like very fine positioning into the extent. So, you you see if you are if you have a positioning system you definitely stop, but you are not interested in like no fine kind of a positioning then like no you do not worry about this part ok. You leave this part to to to your integrator module to kind of handle if at all ok. But if you want to kind of capture this material this monotony gritties you have these models available. And they will be useful in the cases when you want to go extremely high precision positioning considering the friction into account ok. But this scenario will not remain for so long because as as a system wears and tears like no this curves are going to shift or they are going to change ok. Now you think about this part like no what will happen if this C is very very high. And now what is the governing equation for such a kind of a behavior. So, you then you need to know ok what is how gradually you are coming down from Fs to Fc ok. Whatever that gradually you are coming down that part will be factored into your equations in some way. And then so you assume say some Gaussian kind of a way of behavior coming down ok. So, you think about if it is a Gaussian variable you know the equation of Gaussian curve or if you do not know you just Wikipedia may search curve you will get the equation of Gaussian curve ok. It has some e to the power negative x dot square kind of a relationship in this case coming up something like that. So, if you want to use that kind of a model to go from Fs to Fc. So, you are on the part of the Gaussian curve coming down ok. We are not you were worried about a negative part of the Gaussian curve only positive part of from Fs high value we are coming down with the Gaussian variation to Fc value that is what we are we want to do. Then how do you kind of like know write the equations of motion equations of friction here. So, think about that ok what is this if I am going to be under such case pause write down your equations and come back ok. So, what is Ff is coming up here is you see this some function additional function that is introduced here is this gx dot. Now this gx dot function will come like you know get the force from Fs down to Fc value ok and then you have the cx dot come as it is ok. And then this gx dot term is like is given in this fashion ok you have some Fc some kind of a like level constant it is a shifted kind of a Gaussian thing and then Fs to Fc difference is here like know this Fs to Fc difference and that is kind of coming becoming lower and lower as as x dot increases. And then Vs is a characteristic velocity called Strabeck velocity that is be used used for this is like a fixed property of the two surfaces. And as this Vs is high or low you will change the slope of this coming down nature that is what will happen here. Now again is there further anything to be considered ok. And the answer is yes if you think of a surface is like a very soft rubber ok. So, very soft rubber when you are you are having these two surfaces in contact like very soft rubber will first have some motion the rubber will get deformed kind of a motion will be there and then like know the motion actual motion of the of these two surfaces relative to each other and all these friction and other effects are going to happen. So, this deformation that is happening before this you know other things come into picture is what is missing right now ok. One can understand that based on this simple you know video that is there for video I need to get out of this pointer option automatically here. And then like know you have this video you can observe. So, you can see this is a toothbrush which is running on the surface you need to carefully observe this area. Now like know the direction is reversed. So, the bristles are getting you know deformed in the other direction and then they start kind of making and breaking contacts on this paper surface straight ok. So, look at this video carefully it is moving in the in this one direction here you can see that there is a some kind of a bristles which are making and breaking contact up here and then they are kind of you know when I reverse the direction they stop and then like know unless my deformation happens beyond certain limit they will not like you know leave that contact point ok. So, this is a kind of a phenomena that is going to happen ok when you reverse the direction here you see that I have some deformation happening without anything happening at this and in this position if I leave this brush ok if I leave the force the brush will come back to its original state because these are cantilever kind of a deformation they have some stored energy that will push this thing back ok. So, this is a kind of a phenomena that is going to happen for the cases where you have a very very soft surfaces here are in contact with hard surface for example. And this needs to be getting modeled for a very high precision positioning applications ok. So, I gave you this example of soft surfaces, but even in the hard surfaces if you are interested in nanoscale kind of a precision in control then you will need to have this effect also taken into account ok. So, that is what is a is a is a important thing. Nanoscale is difficult it will be difficult to kind of realize because there are some uncertainties that will govern this process, but people have developed this kind of a models in the in the in the literature use as a mechanics engineer typically will not have to use this kind of a depth of model rather for the for a very high precision positioning more better solutions exist in the in the form of these compliant mechanisms or like you know piezo based actuators and things like that ok. So, we will not use probably this advanced part of the model for the friction, but I mean this is like you know good for you to kind of know and it is I am not expecting you to kind of think about the model for this friction I will just give you the model in the next slide to see and think about ok how people have captured these mathematics in a very elegant way into some of these model equations. This is maybe development a few decades ago kind of a ok. So, this is a model that is called Lugrem model for two universities Lund University and Grenoble Institute. These two come you know some joint research might have happened and this is called Lugrem model of the friction and it captures like you know all these effects that we are talking about so far ok. And how it captures and you know what how these states are like you know defined in this kind of a fashion and all I mean it needs a good amount of mathematical you know deciphering of things that people have to pose this model ok. So, we may I mean you do that mathematical I mean those were like you know really intrigued by some kind of a mathematics these are challenge for you to kind of really figure out how this is representing you know what effects and how this is really the meanings of all these variables are given here. This chi is a friction state which is corresponding to these deformations of the bristles that are that we showed for the brush or that kind of a small deformation and then like you know this corresponding spring stiffness is sigma 0 ok in the pre-sliding regime this sigma 0 is a spring stiffness and that is that is this is a force that will come into picture when you have x dot is equal to 0 ok. So, think about this these effects and you know this model how it is capturing like you know what we have said the intent of this crystal based deformations and further continuation into normal friction regime that is sliding regime. So, think about that this is good the full for your brain ok all analytical sharp brains here. So, give a give a nice thought and like you know understand if you have any questions like maybe we will discuss in the discussion session. So, we will end for now here.

You should brush your teeth That too Well, this is shady. Okay. He's gonna be really mad at me for the fun He's turning around He's gonna be really mad at me This was your idea Yeah, cuz we're watching YouTube. Oh Instead of the Raptors game instead of the Raptors game. Oh, we have to turn that off copyright or turn it on the button Copyright basketball game. Yeah, news copyrights you the most What's this even called the whisper challenge right the whisper challenge We're gonna do rides edition and then our other channel will do something a little more inappropriate. Oh Like where we can swear All right, so my phone is gonna play really loud white noise We tested it. I can't hear anything like really loud This was so spontaneous. We could have prepared like lines or something to say like prepared if we prepare Then I would know what you're gonna say I have my own you have your own genius Yeah, I know but okay, this is gonna be harder than it looks. I know I don't know how to lip read. I've never done it lip read Leviathan is just a baby fury You have to go slow. Leviathan is just the fire chaser express Leviathan is just a baby fury Leviathan swear word on behemoth No, is just is Just Why not say that word just Leviathan is No, just Just Leviathan is just a baby fury chopping Leviathan is just a baby fury Leviathan is pooping on You're saying the S word of pooping though. No, that's what it looks like just Leviathan is just a baby fury. I see behemoth after the word. No, you're not saying behemoth at all. No Leviathan is just a baby fury I'm not gonna guess this Okay, say it slower Leviathan is Just a baby fury Leviathan is such a bad Stop it just a baby fury is a floorless coaster Just a baby fury Just Leviathan is just a baby a baby giga Fury Leviathan is just a baby fury. Leviathan is just a baby fury. There you go. Oh my god Floorless co-starry I love that one. Oh man Okay, your ears are very warm. I am warm. Yeah Wow, it's really weird. I can't hear you. I know Okay, I used to be scared of behemoth and Leviathan until I met you Amusement inside is like behemoth and Leviathan close though I used to I Used to huge toad No used to I I uh I I I okay used use used used to to Be scared be scared. Is it I used to be scared of roller coasters? of Behemoth behemoth and Leviathan and Leviathan until Until It how's he so good at this though until and Houdini No until Until I met you until I met you. He's looking at me right now until I met you Until I met you Such a bad duo. Yeah No Until I met you Since I bet you I'm so long. This is really hard until I met you Before I met you. Yes, same thing. Yes Whoa Damn, I got Houdini in the noodles. It was a mess Steel vengeance has a really loud lift tail Steel vengeance has a really loud lift tail Steel vengeance has a really loud lift tail steel vengeance has a Really loud lift tail a weird sound effect No, a really loud lift tail weird sound ah Really weird really really Whitney really Really loud lift tail. Hey, it's Whitney. You know you the only reason I got that ending So easily is because we had that conversation over the last like five days. I Am willing To take a pay cut Moving forward. Oh wait. What's it again? I am willing to take a pay cut moving forward I'm a really bad guy before work No really Willing weirdy willing willing Weirdly I am willing I apologize. I Am willing. Oh, I'm willing. Yes. Okay to take Fusa to take to the to take for the to take to take to die Beating like opposite ends of the spectrum a pay cut Pentagon a beating. It's so bad a bathing a pay cut Doing head gestures is gonna help me pay Pick is the best giga You mean it's close you con striker is the best giga you are the You con you are not you con you aren't You con you con you are you con striker You are the father you con you con striker you con striker is the best giga Is the best giga they're not The inappropriate ones are gonna be so much more fun. I know on the other channel ride Sling shot. I will ride slingshot with you By the end of June I will ride slingshot with you By the end of June I could just imagine what he's thinking right now. Oh my god. This is so bad. I will I won't I will I will Ride ride slingshot slingshot with you with you By by the end of June of June so easily. Yeah, did I get it? Yeah, I'll ride slingshot by the end of June Yeah Taxi jam scares the living hell out of me Beaver tails Something something something taxi jam scares the living Taxi jam scares the living hell out of me Taxi est to Toronto Island My god, I must jam taxi taxi shantae you stay Taxi jam Taser I'm so confident like Taxi jam taxi jam Scares the living hell out of me scares the living hell out of me Choked you Taxi jam choked you Taxi jam scares the living hell out of me You're hardly moving your lips scare scares the living hell out of me Scared the living crap out of you close enough Taxi jamscares the living hell out of me. Oh, I don't know how you got crap You want me to taxi you to Toronto Island? When'd you get Godzilla from yeah that confused probably because I went to see it yesterday Don't want to be an American Mindbuster is better than vortex One more time. Mindbuster is better than vortex. I heard you burp One more time. Mindbuster is better than vortex Mindbuster I Got Peppa Pig sweat all over my floor. So what's all over my floor mind buster You know, I think is I can see why Mine buster would leave him to say like the M in the B Mine buster my something mind buster Mine buster is better than vortex Something is better than something Okay, mind buster Why do I keep seeing? Mind buster your buddy Mine buster mind buster mind buster Dust buster No, almost almost mind buster my buster Mind but mind buster. Okay is better than is better than vortex. It's better than what vortex Shoes Vortex Kleenex close Vortex. Oh, yeah better than vortex. I'm offended. I haven't any music playing. It's just white noise It's a party in the USA. Oh, yeah Krega is the face of amusement insiders Something about your toes Someone's literally on the floor over there. Yeah, is the face of amusement insiders Krega is the first person I've ever hated Well, that's been revealed. That's true, but Krega Krega. Okay is the face is the face and say the word. I think you're saying is a B word. No Wow confessions over here is the face is a fish the face is the best is the is Whoa, this is shady Okay, he's gonna be really mad at me for this one. Crush on a certain ride operator Something about Olive Garden have a certain I have a crush on a certain ride operator Olive Garden has to wash something They probably do Good point. I'll go and take notes short Show certain Sir 10 Sir 10 Chantel certain Sir 10, you're not saying shorty. Are you know certain Chantel sir 10 have a crush on I have a crush on a Sir 10 Sharktooth it's either Chantel or Sharktooth one of the two certain short one Hey, I have a crush on a certain Certain Jordan certain Jordan sort certain position Certain ride operator She wouldn't tell while I'm aware Certain ride operator Certain ride operator. I have a crush on a ride operator certain Ride operator Chantel's ride operator Coming to Wonderland in 2020 Chantel is it not Chantel. No, okay Certain ride operator certain ride operator short ride operator. You know what? Yeah Certain ride operator. Oh certain only peasants don't have fast lane Who is the best? It's one word. Is he pronouncing it with his lip properly? This is starting to annoy me Something it's one word. Okay only It's something like oak Lee Lee own Lee Is it a ride? No? We interrupt this broadcast Trying to do a video here. Thank you, sir. Oh, no, I'm good. It's like Oakley. It's close But oh oh Tee something Tee oh Tee no Tee Own Lee one word. Yeah, that's he's gonna say pregnant Peasants don't have fast lane only fast lane Well only peasants best Peasant peasant Bested peasant peasant peasants I says Peasants fastest peasants peasant look at him peasants baskets peasants bastards No peasants passes peasants Zint peasants say the first part of the word Peh tomorrow. I'm going to Wonderland on a date with a girl That's too easy tomorrow. I'm going to Wonderland with a girl. Oh, did I get it? You left that apart cute girls are what you said no Tomorrow I'm going on a date to Wonderland with a girl tomorrow. I'm gonna get with a really hot girl Well Tomorrow okay tomorrow. I'm going on a Forget how I phrased it now Tomorrow I'm going to Wonderland on a date with a girl tomorrow. I'm going to Wonderland Tomorrow was Wonderland tomorrow. I'm going to Wonderland tomorrow. I'm going to Wonderland on a date on a date with a girl with a girl Why are you so good like and then now I just need me for the next 15 minutes me struggling I'm not hanging out with the young you pop eating up a bill to get Millennium Force has a flat tire People at vortex are slow ups Millennium Force has a flat tire Millennium Force has a flat tire Fast-ops is the last word Millennium because Millennium Bunny rabbits Millennium Millennium Popsicles Millennium Force Bhutani Millennium has a flat tire I has a Has has a flat tire No has And force there you have get that joke Millennium Force has a flat tire knock it even get the M at the beginning of Millennium Force All right, I feel like your lips don't do the proper like I was offended from the first thing you said You haven't gotten shady at all. I Did you just had headphones on what is she watching? Well, that's been a video oh Right, it was just one more each wasn't it yeah, oh Comment down below if you want to see any more of these They're fun You maybe even suggest like a topic we have to go over so it's not so random like this like a park Yeah, that would be good. Okay, so comment down below the next park we should cover That might even help us educate Greg on things and then I thought studying right Okay, I know this is really random for a museum insider. So we're trying out some new content and stuff It is roller coaster related. We kept a roller coaster related It's like borderline like we made it roller coaster related with the topic, but now we're gonna go back to watching the Raptors Unfortunately, I don't even know the score. I haven't checked at all. We're not sports people I don't even know why we like I even got snacks and everything and then we're like sitting here watching YouTube videos We literally become such youtubers. I Think the words you're looking for is losers who got like an entire stomach size The mysterious man behind the camera that's been dying throughout the whole video You can't keep a straight face through this. No, you can't no, it's it's so much fun Even though it's so frustrating this crag is let's do no lips will blame me Okay. Well, peace out. Don't forget to hit that like button subscribe if you haven't and share this video I don't want to do his jingle What's your jingle? What would your jingle be if you were to end a video come on? Later alligator

अद्यारों के मामले में अज्रायल को दूनिया का एक बहुत ताकतवर मुल्क माना जाता है. अज्रायल का एरो एर्दिटवेंस इतना ताकतवर है, कि अज्रायल दावा करता है, कि अगर 2-0 km दूर से भी कोई मिसाल इज्रायल की तरफ लाँच होती है, अज्रायल का एर्टिटवेंसे स्वाछाता है. जब तक इस्रायल अपनी एर्फोर्स के माद्यम से गाजा पट्टी पर बंबाडिं कर तरहा, तब तक इस्रायल के सैनिकों के मारे जाने की संख्या का अंक्डाल लग भग इस्तिर रहा. लेकिन

वो कभी नहीं चाहे गी कि वो अपने सैनिकों की मुत के एसे आक्डे पेषकरे जो दूश्मनों के मुखाब लेए ज्यादा हूँ. लेके यहाँ पर मुट करने बात यह भी है के एस्रैल की के सैने नीती है. कि वो हमेशा दूश्मन के दस बूना

नर संगार नहीं हूँरा है. यह पुरा बयान आब को सूनाएंगे. और इसके आगे आपको ये भी बताएंगे कि कैसे जोर्दन भी गाजापपटी के जब्मों पर नमक चडग रगा है. लेकिन सब से पहले आमेरिका के उस पाकहन्द के बारे में बताना जरूरी है जो बिल्कल साप नजर आगा है. योक्रेन और रूस के योदने जब पोटिन की मिसाइल योक्रेन पर कहर बनकर तुट रही थी. और करिब एक हाजार योक्रेन बच्छे हतात हुए तब आमेरिका नहीं गे कहना शुरो कर दिया था कि पोटिन

करना वैश्विक पाक्चन्ड है. तुसरी तरफ अगर देखा जाए तो अब दक गाजा पट्टी के अंदर तीस हाजार सी जादा लोग गाल है. और गाजा पट्टी के अस्पतानों के हालत क्या है, ये पूरी दुन्या को नजर आजार अगी है. जोर्दन ने गाजा

Hi guys, welcome back to Sianwis Mix from Mixed Creation. We are getting through the questions that are frequently asked in the comments section. I've been a little bit up and down because of the World Cup. Definitely there have been a lot of opportunities and been up and down for trying to do some things with it. But I tried to fix it at the time and I was like I still have to come back to my people because it is who this Mixed Creation TV is at this time because of you people. And the question that I was asked also is can I leave Qatar without informing my employer? Yes, you can leave Qatar without informing your employer but it will depend on which kind of scenario. In this case we are looking at during what you call the probation period. Yes, during the probation period. Remember the probation period here in Qatar is 6 months and you cannot leave the country without informing your employer. That is what I can tell you. So it means that for anyone that wish to live without finishing your notice period you should know as per the label you will be paying compensation to your employer which is actually amounting to what you call your basic wage. Let's say for example you wish to leave the country and you have 2 months remaining for you to finish your probation period meaning that if your basic salary is 1000 then probably you have to pay 2 months of your basic salary to employer before you can leave or you can at least be allowed to leave the country. That is according to the label or according to the law. Remember during that period we talked about the recruitment. We talked about the recruitment. Remember how much is the work visa recruitment. What does, we talked about the video. How much does your employer injecting you when he is recruiting you back in your country and definitely you see that when we try to sum up the total for those people that watch that video or you are for those people and put that video in the description also you can have a look at the total is amounting to around something like around 2000. So meaning that if you want to resign before your probation period as according to the law you are supposed to compensate your employer at least 2 months which is equivalent to the basic salary pay and you can be allowed to leave the country or you can be allowed to go in the country. However something that you also need to know that sometimes it may be some other issues that may have within yourself but to better way you can also explain to the human resources or explain to those people concerned in the company they can definitely either release you out and go. However there are some issues that can need to be taken out of the country before even you finish your probation period for example if you are not medically fit, if you don't pass the medical fitness you are not fit to work in the country. Then that means in that kind of situation your employer which is your work visa sponsor will definitely have to repatriate you back to your country without you paying any cost and because you failed you are not eligible or you can fail to meet what you call the requirements for you to work in the country and that is exactly what could be the other condition for you to live without paying anything. However if you want to live and you already have what you call you already will not finish up what you call the probation period definitely you took out the medical, you did the rest of the procedures we have been followed, then definitely you will have to compensate your employer before you can go out of the country. Hope I try to share something for you and that is actually something that you need to know for example for you people who are coming to the country, you come, you find the situation that you being told by your agent is not the same situation your promise will end here but at the same time what you find is different on the ground then definitely you will have that right or you will definitely try to go, you will definitely need to know such kind of situation for you to get through and to see that you can exit without even paying a single coin. Thank you so much for coming back to Siano, this makes for my next question trying to get through these answers, trying to give you all this back and here and here such that you can try to know what are we entitled to and how definitely we have to survive. When you come to this country what we call hustlers and we are surviving and we need to understand for you, for us not to violate the law and also not even our employers or employers to get to bleach what we call the contracts or bleach what we agreed upon in the contract. Thank you so much, see you again in the next video.

Oh No! The Robots Have Taken Over! - Christopher Wilcox, Google
Oh No! The Robots Have Taken Over! - Christopher Wilcox, Google Speakers: Christopher Wilcox As part of his work, Chris and his team at Google are responsible for managing libraries for 150 APIs across 7 languages. This results in a crushing amount of toil, making it hard at times to both make forward progress and maintain what has been created. When you own over 70 node repositories you have to get creative. So the team decided to make an army of sorts. An army of screaming, free roaming robots. Bots can have a freeing effect on your engineering team. Come to hear how embracing automation has let a team of engineers do what they do best and let the toil fall to the machines.

All right, I think we can get started. Thanks everyone for showing up for the last talk of the day. I expected it to be half empty in here and everyone to be tired. So thanks for still coming. So if your career in software development resembles mine in any way at all, you've probably found one thing to be constant over everything else. There's always more work to do. No matter how much you try, no matter how long you work, there's always something else you can do today, tomorrow, next week. For me, like I said, this has definitely been the case. I work on the Google Cloud Client Libraries team, and we maintain hundreds of different packages. To make this problem worse, they aren't even all node packages. We maintain eight different languages. Now luckily, no one on the team is expected to know all eight of these languages, but almost all of us know more than one, and we still have to maintain all of these things. So that only helps the problem a little bit. What we started to realize is that we needed help, and that's when the bots came to save us. I say the bots came to save us, but I'm obviously speaking poetically. They didn't come to save us, and our bots aren't all that smart, so I wouldn't expect them to be our saviors. I mean, they're helpful, but they tend to be good at just doing a single thing very well. Before we get further into this talk, I wanted to discuss what is a bot? What does that mean in the terms of software development? When I think about robots, I immediately think of an automotive assembly line, and these big arms that replace the job of humans from decades before. But we really don't mean this when we say bots in technology. We're not usually talking about a physical robot of any kind, and we're not even talking about a robots.txt. Robots.txts are crawled by web crawlers and are fairly similar to the bots we're referring to, but they're a little different as well. What I usually mean when I say the word bots is something that resembles this. I mean a script that runs as a result of an action, a trigger from something external, that might be a timer, that might be a pull request, and as a response to this event, some code runs. Bots aren't good at all things, of course. As I said, they're usually good at repetitive work, things that are scoped, one single thing, but they're very good at that one thing. Particularly, they're good at things that don't require intuition or any sort of debugging. So the sort of action that can be blindly followed with a strict process. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Because it turns out humans are really bad at being robots. Multiple studies show that when humans in a counter-repeated processes, we fatigue, we make mistakes, we miss steps. And so it's good if we can use something that's good at following rote rules instead of ourselves. I think it should be our goal to eliminate as many of those sorts of tasks as possible so we can focus on the work that requires human intuition and generally brings joy to developers. And while most of us use bots, I think it's true that the majority of software developers haven't written a bot. With any hope by the end of this talk, a lot of the mystery around that will be removed. So to frame this, I wanna talk a bit about levels of automation. The SAE, Society of Automotive Engineers, has a standard for self-driving cars where they separate the levels that they are automated, the amount the system does work. So they separate those out so we can have an understanding of the advancement and sort of risk involved. This will help us sort of understand things and it will allow us to start with simpler bots and get to more complex ones as I talk. So this is the chart they use. I'm not going to try to describe it exactly, but at level zero, it's your typical car, the ones that have been around forever. The human being does everything. Eventually you get to level five where the machine does everything. In theory, you don't need a human being. It is entirely unscoped, meaning it doesn't just have a list of tasks it can do, it can do infinite tasks, anything at all. This is the fully self-driving car. So if we take that and apply it to bots, we get this chart. We're at level one, we have things that are automated a little bit, sort of at the level of a script or a tool. And eventually again we get to level five where the machine does everything. You can see at each level of this chart one more thing is taken over by the system. That's the bolded bit. I'm not going to try to describe this much further here. I think it'll be easier as we go into examples. So at level one, put simply, our goal is to automate portions of our workflow. Not necessarily make a bot do all the work, but take away the parts where it's easy to make small little mistakes. As a human being, you're going to discover the work. You're going to kick off a task, hit a button, run a script. But the work itself will be automated. So let's put up an example. We have a package and our goal is to release this. But releasing takes multiple actions. It might involve tagging a branch, updating a release number, publishing to NPM, maybe deploying docs, et cetera. So how do we fix that? Well, we can write a script. Script can do all of those things and we can click a button. This might not sound entirely like a bot yet. Bots, we don't tend to think of as being a thing where we just execute a script locally, but this is the most basic bot. The deployment environment is your machine. It does a task for you. The only thing that's a bit odd is because at level one we're still triggering and assisting the system, it doesn't feel all that automated. And then we move on to level two. The best way to describe this is that we can automate the discovery now as well as the work. But we're still, as human beings, going to be responsible for supervising the bot. We're not going to trust it to operate unmonitored. Representative tasks for that would be that script we authored previously could be forgotten to be run. And it would be good to know if that happens. If we have some release ready to go, let's say we've updated the release number within package.json and we haven't published yet. It would be cool if we had some sort of monitoring to let us know about that, so we don't just let it sit stale forever. And when we start in the level three, this is where I think you start to really see them as very useful bots. At this point, we let the bot start doing work for us. We have to supervise it a little bit, probably check in on it. But for the most part, it's fully starting to self monitor. And we're not going to have to do a lot of intervention ourselves. An example of how that might manifest is we have issues in our repository that goes stale. So we all have repositories that we have to work in and issues get assigned to developers on the team. But occasionally people on the team become overloaded or that individual on the team maybe isn't the subject matter expert for that. So they're stalling out. So we can implement something that juggled these issues around and could assign them to a different team member to see if that would help us get traction. Another example you might see here is something like a CLA bot, maybe where you can notice that someone on your team doesn't have CLA's and you could sort of walk through that. It's going to require very limited monitoring. The monitoring at that point is mostly in the fact that nothing's going to get merged without a human. But the bot can still go through that entire interaction with a new contributor. And then we get to level four when things get a bit more advanced. We don't really have to supervise any more at all. The system handles its own fallback. When errors happen, it knows how to self recover. Maybe if it has an error it can't recover from, it opens a bug for you. So what does an example like this start to look like? Sometimes it turns out that in our repositories we have branches that get created for PRs and contributors forget to delete them. And this starts to make things get a bit bloaty and hard to see what's going on. So maybe we could write a bot that deletes them. And I feel like this is a point to mention that as you go through the levels, risk starts to increase also. This is a rather risky thing to do. What if those branches are needed and you made a mistake in this bot? This is where I mean to say it's not really supervised anymore. It starts to take actions that would be hard to recover from. So other bots in this category are things that look like merging on green to master where maybe you reviewed it and located it earlier but someone merged something else, then the CI passed and it gets merged in. And that could be rather risky. There are a lot of bots in this category and the example we'll use later falls into this level four. And finally, we get to level five. I think at level five, the easiest way to describe it is the robot starts to become your own boss. Because unlike the previous one, it's now unscoped. It no longer has a question and a solution. It just responds to all questions and all solutions. And I think you'll find the science fiction has taught us that unscoping bots can be a rather dangerous thing. I don't know that I would really want this happening in my repository. I would say we avoid doing this all together, if at all possible. And after all, human beings are good at these sorts of tasks anyway and we usually want intuition. So this probably isn't where we want to look for bots. To sort of tie back to automotive, they're finding the same problem. In automotive driverless cars, getting to level five is going to be very difficult because it means the automation needs to understand new scenarios it hasn't seen before. And that's a pretty giant jump from training on existing scenarios. So at this point though, I think we should talk about writing bots and not me just sort of giving you quick examples. And you probably thought maybe we could just write a bot to write the bots. Let's go back to the previous step. We probably don't want to do that, right? If we find a way to have bots write bots, we've probably reached century computing. And then you end up with this weird problem of who watches the watcher. Eventually realizes turtles all the way down and you're probably just going to have to accept that we're doing this ourselves. So while we can't use a bot to do this for us, we can leverage a series of frameworks. And our team found one that we liked a lot called ProBot. This is good because most of us don't want to spend our time authoring bots. The bots are a means to an end. They're not the solution itself. They're not our marketing. And so being able to leverage other open source products mean we can get back to our product and not just being bot authors. ProBot integrates really well with GitHub. It's authored by a GitHub engineer. And it allows us to trigger events in the form of small node apps based on a GitHub context, many different GitHub events. The nice thing too is they have a variety of samples we can use to sort of inspire ourselves and understand what to do. The documentation is fairly good. And so that's what we decided to go with. So the first thing we're going to want to do is think about the scenario we want to solve and try to scope that to a problem that is solvable by a bot and no longer requires a human. So a simple question that we might ask yourself is could we have renovate PRs, PRs from the renovate bot automatically run CI for us and not wait for an engineer on the team to go tell the CI system to run? The reason this is important is systems like Travis Circle and the internal CI we use, they restrict which contributors can kick off builds. And this is important. Most build systems have secrets. And if any random person on the internet can run a build, they can modify those files and they can expose secrets. So we don't want to allow that to just happen. It needs to be a trusted contributor of the repository of the project. But renovate isn't really a contributor. It's a thing we use, it's a thing we trust, but it's not part of the GitHub org. And so we could probably write a bot to do this. And that seems like a small enough size and something direct. When renovate creates a PR and we detect that it's the author, we run CI. The next thing we need to figure out is what sort of events do we need to trigger this on? We could try to trigger on all possible events, but that's probably going to mean it runs too much. So we might want to trigger on initial PR, maybe on updates to the PR, maybe on the creation of an issue. That's probably not relevant in this exact example, but it's a common one. There are dozens of different events you can trigger on, but for me these four are most often the ones you end up using. And the next decision you get to make is are bots going to alert or change your system? And this again goes back to risk. If a system only ever alerts you of a problem, it's generally not that risky. In the case of something like a CLA bot or maybe a Linting bot, it's likely to just leave a comment on the PR. It's not going to merge your code, not gonna run your build system, relatively safe. On the other hand, if we make changes that run the build system, merge, publish, they become more risky. These are the sort of things that causes incidents. And so you need to decide how much risk you're willing to take on in this instance. So for the case of this bot, we're going to likely add a label to our repository that says it's safe to run CI. And so this looks a little more like a change. And so that's a little bit more risk, but we can't get the value without that. So let's get around to building it. Probot comes with this quick start we can run via NPX and it's a pretty reasonable place to start if you've never written a bot before. It's going to populate you a node project that has most of the templating after asking you some simple questions. We didn't use this exactly because we found out that we wanted to do templating on top of Probot. And so we recently added our own bot generator that does basically the same thing. There's a few less questions because we can make a lot of assumptions. For instance, all the authors are Google and so that makes that a little simpler. But this also allowed us to do things like template our read-me's and have consistent style across all of our samples and have similar targets inside package at JSON. Like I said, at the end of the day, this is just another node package. All the bot system does is runs a method when an event happens. It's a pretty straightforward application and looks like a lot of things you've used before. And as a very bare minimum set of dependencies, we're going to use something from OctaKit to interact with Git. We're going to use Probot. In our case, we use a thing called GCFutils because we leverage Google Cloud Functions for this. And we have a package called GCFutils we wrote to let us do that. So diving a bit deeper into source, I wanted to look at the code that isn't just boilerplate. Most of this will be, you'll probably never edit it. But inside of one of the TS files, you're going to find a function that takes an application and on a list of events does some action. In this case, we have a few different triggers that we're going to go on. If a PR is opened, reopened or synchronized, that's a PR update, we want to run an event. These are all possible options for renovate when it comes through. But the bot we write is pretty simple. We check the pull requests user login and if that user login matches renovate, we can add a label to the repository. Bots aren't necessarily all that complicated. A lot of times they're simple actions but the difficulty of this part of the bot doesn't really tell you the value. This one bot has saved hundreds of hours for our development team from having to go into these issues and tell them to run CI. So how do you set up your environment to do these bots, to offer these bots locally? This is pretty GitHub centric in the way I describe it but it's likely worth noting there's nothing GitHub specific about what we're doing here. You could change those events to not be GitHub events. You could use Probot and send it web hooks from somewhere else, all possibilities. So the first thing we do to support local development is start a proxy. This is so that way we can use our local development system as the target of the web hook that GitHub provides. And there's a service called SME we can use. All you have to do to use this particular proxy is go to SME.io, click a button and it will give you a slug URL that you can then use to route your issues to, your events from GitHub too. So we start by running a proxy once we get that slug URL and this sets everything up for us. I should mention it's possible you don't even need to run this step but we've found environments that if you skip this it might not properly configure. And so you run it once. You only ever run this the first time you set your machine up. And the next thing you do is you run NPM start. Like I said, it's basically just a regular node package once you use Probot and it will direct you to go to port 3000 of your machine. And this is that way we can go ahead and set up the GitHub app. You'll be presented with a screen that looks like this where you have to register a GitHub app. You'll go through the GitHub apps creation process. We'll give it a name. We'll configure permissions. Once we get around to configuring permissions things start to get a little bit harder to do because we have to ask ourselves some real questions. What does this bot really have to change about a repository? And in theory we could give it all access but again back to risk. We likely don't wanna do that. So we're going to have to start sort of thinking. In the case of this bot we're going to need right access to the repository because we need to add labels. We're gonna give it permission to mess with pull requests only and that will restrict it from doing anything too crazy. And once we've done that we need to install the bot into the repository. There's a install app button on the screen we're on for permissions. And you'll be presented with a yellow box and where you'll have to review your permissions. So the permissions here are being reviewed are from the previous step. And I point this out because if you don't do this nothing interesting will happen. You'll sit here awhile, it's an easy mistake to make because you think well I've made a bot and I've set permissions but you have to do this step. You also might have to do this step again if you ever change the permissions. And that's a gotcha that's caught me. I haven't given it all the permissions I needed the first time around. And if you forget to do that again it won't trigger on those things until you come and do this. So we click on that link. We can say all right these permissions are safe I'm happy with that. We can install it on any repository or all repositories in an org. Something that I do is I create a repository purely for testing. It's not important. I can make PRs against the branches, whatever. It'll be fine. And I target this repository with new bots. That way I can sort of test drive them before putting them against anything live. So we set that permission up and we can move along to running the bot. To do this we need to set a few environment variables. Every GitHub app comes with an application ID. It comes with the private key. And it comes with a secret for web hooks. These are pretty straightforward to get. The app ID will be at the top of the app page and we can export it to app ID. The web hook secret is a string that you set. So for demonstration purposes in this case it's a ProBot demo. And then we need to configure private keys. At the bottom of the page, there's an area that you can generate new secrets. It'll automatically download a JSON for you. And as long as you put the path to that it'll be able to resolve this for you. So here we show ourselves running npm start. It's forwarding to SME now to localhost 3000. And we're starting to get these post requests coming through. And the post requests are all the result of me opening this PR. I set it as a test repo so you can see that I've updated the read me a bunch and opened and reopened pull request. And then we can go over to SME and start to look into what events we're getting. If we expand one of those pull requests we'll see the JSON payload and what it looks like on a live repository. You get a better idea of what information our bot's receiving and how to respond to it. So this is handy for live debugging and just ad hoc testing. But it's also useful for then taking these payloads and turning them into unit tests that are repeatable. And so that's where this tends to be most useful is you can ad hoc test how it works and you can capture that and turn that into a test you can run over and over again and avoid regressing your bot. So what is the deployment stack for that look like? Now that you can run it locally how do we get that into somewhere that's not running on our development machine? We use a variety of services. Like I said we put this on Google Cloud Functions. We ultimately use storage, a thing called KMS Key Management Service. So let's talk about a bit of those components. The most important bit is Google Cloud Functions. We started on this just as a call out right away. At the time we started this GitHub actions didn't exist and at this time if we started this again that might have been an approach we looked into. But we already started this for Google Cloud Functions and so it doesn't really make much sense at this point for us to go back. Google Cloud Functions take a web event any sort of HTTP trigger and they can start executing. So they're these little on-demand actions which is a really good fit for a bot. They tend to be a good fit for anything that doesn't have a lot of state management and that's not being called very frequently. And most bots aren't. They're intermittently called maybe just during business hours and so this is a good application for that. And there's an existing Google Cloud Function Handler that ProBot provides. If you'd like to use this you can install it from them. We also wanted to use the thing called KMS Key Management Service. And so the idea here was that we didn't wanna store any of the secrets in the Cloud Function itself. There's a potential security risk in using environment variables in the bot as well just like there would be for a CI system. And so instead of using environment variables we can inject these things through the KMS system which ultimately stores them on Google Cloud Storage and then they're fetched as they're needed and then immediately piped into the commands. So they're never sourced in environment variable. It would be more difficult for someone to capture those things. And so the utility that's released by ProBot doesn't support this so we ended up writing our own. It is a rather simple boot scrapper so that wasn't too much work. But if this sounds interesting to you that you would wanna use Cloud Functions and some of these more advanced features feel free to reach out to me or come visit any of the Google booth. I'd like to talk about it. We haven't yet released this to people. It's only in our repository but if there was value it's something we could consider open sourcing further. So this is the version we use. Like I said it's a simple package in our repository. It is under active development but if this interests you please talk to me further. We also use a system called Google Cloud Build and this is what deploys our bots. This allows us to use the secrets that we're storing as well as the deployment pipeline, no developer needs to manage the publishing it just self publishes as we need. So that's good for us. But let's step away from that a bit and get out of some of the Google specifics and just talk about if you were to publish a single bot to something like Cloud Functions what would that look like? It's going to look again like a lot of node apps you've written before. We're gonna have a compilation step. All of our bots are typescripts most of our code base in fact is. We're going to make a target directory and copy some things over to it. And that's the build step. Technically this target part isn't necessary but it is a bit of a safety. It means that when we go to deploy we don't deploy anything unnecessary. We're only going to deploy the things we most care about for the bot not random artifacts that happen to be in the repository. For publishing we provide a function name and Google Cloud comes with a tool called gcloud and we can use that to upload a function once we provide a directory. Through here we're going to provide it to use all the K and the secrets for us. It's gonna go through and upload it for us through gcloud. And that can be done without Cloud Build. The reason we use Cloud Build ultimately is we have more than one bot and so it's nice to have a centralized system for that and a pattern we can follow. So I hope this has helped you understand a bit of how we do bots at least for Google Cloud client libraries and has inspired you to embrace using bots to free your team from a lot of gardening and allow you to do more meaningful work. I would say that any task that's repeated often is a good candidate for bots and virtually all projects can benefit from using them. I'd also like to mention that all of our bots are open sourced. They're on GitHub but they can be looked at. This is the repository they exist at. There's a variety of instances of them and most all of the examples I talked about are bots that exist that we are using today. And I also wanted to take a moment to thank the others that contributed to this. I am certainly not the only one that has worked on this project. A lot of people have. I just wanted to take a moment to thank them all for their efforts. So thank you all for having me.

A very good morning to you in St. Lucia and across the entire east in Caribbean and beyond. Welcome to the St. Lucia House of Assembly, today Tuesday, July 26 for another sit-in of the Lower House of Parliament. Today July 26 also marks the first anniversary of the present administration, for it was exactly one year ago, July 26, that St. Lucia went to the polls and elected the St. Lucia Labour Party, led by present Prime Minister, Philip G. Pierre. At this sit-in today, we have a number of papers to be laid by the Honourable Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Economic Development and the Youth Economy. Papers to be laid by the PM and Minister of Finance, Statutory Instrument No. 85 of 2022 or the Legal Profession, Statutory Instrument No. 86 of 2022, also the Legal Profession and Statutory Instrument No. 87, also the Legal Profession. Then we have Statutory Instrument No. 91 of 2022 and that is Public Finance, the Public Finance Management Act, a resolution of Parliament to borrow for capital or current expenditure operating expenses of the National Development Project's initiatives and the COVID-19 mitigation measures. Also to be laid, papers to be laid is Statutory Instrument No. 92 of 2022, Public Finance Management Act, a resolution of Parliament to borrow for capital and current expenditure operating expenses in the health sector related to COVID-19, the virus pandemic, Statutory Instrument No. 93 of 2022, the Public Finance Management Act, a resolution of Parliament to borrow for capital and current expenditure implementation of the unleashing of the Blue Economy of the Caribbean Project.

To be laid by the Honorable Senior Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Ports, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal, Statutory Instrument No. 84 of 2022, which is the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Designation of Inspector's Amendment Order. Now we move to the bills to be laid here by the Honorable Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Economic Development and the Youth Economy for Second Reading, the Income Tax Bill, also for Second Reading, the Public Debt Management Bill. First Readings, Recording of Court Proceedings and also for First Reading, the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement. Also for Second Reading will be the Firemen's Amendment, like I said for Second Reading, the Firemen's Amendment, Second Reading, the Youth Economy Agency and finally the Special Prosecutors Bill, and that is for, like I said, a Second Reading. Most of the parliamentarians are here and uh very shortly we will be joined by the Speaker to commence proceedings this day Tuesday the 26th as the St. Lucia House of Assembly once again meets to discuss the people's business. Already here are the Prime Minister, the Honorable Minister for Housing, the Honorable Richard Frederick, just entered the parliament, is the Leader of Government Business and the Minister for Tourism, who is the Honorable Ernest Hilaire. We've just gotten word that Speaker Francis will be with us momentarily to start the proceedings off for today and in my opening I spoke of the first anniversary one year ago, July 26th, that the St. Lucia's went to the polls and elected the Philip J. Peer administration, the administration of the St. Lucia Labor Party to see after the business just over the weekend the party and the government held a ceremony honoring the services 25 years of Prime Minister's Kenny D. Antony who was the former Prime Minister under the Labor Administration and Philip J. Peer the present Prime Minister and they were being honored for service to this country both unbroken from 1997 making it 25 years that these gentlemen have been in this parliament, one serving the people of Castries East and the other the people of Viewfort South and they have given sterling representation and continue to do so. We have not seen the member for Viewfort South as yet but I'm sure that he will be here very soon. The St. Lucia Labor Party and this present administration have outlined a number of projects that they intend to embark upon over the next four years as laid out in their manifesto, one which is ongoing at the moment which is housing which they are using as a driver for economic growth. They say that this sector will continue to play a pivotal role in growing the economy and in job creation and to this end the focus will be on housing like I said before and public and private infrastructure development that this administration of Philip J. Peer together with private sector participation will redevelop the city of Castries where we are at the moment into modern medium high-rise multi-level residential buildings. This will be accomplished by using a phased approach consideration will also be given to a mix of housing types to maximize the development cost per unit single detached unit townhouses duplexes low-rise apartment buildings for freehold and a subsidized housing for rent on tenants income levels. The present administration also is looking into incentivizing a program for housing repairs that has been ongoing throughout the their first year like I said that today is the anniversary of that first year so that housing repair program is ongoing to maintain and improve the existing housing stock house owners will therefore be encouraged to carry out repairs to maintain the quality of their homes and also will and be encouraged or the private sector will be encouraged to invest in augmenting the country's housing stock especially for low middle income families. The present administration also promises to revisit the Castries to Bruce Lee highway redevelopment project as had been proposed under the previous labor government they also plan to revisit plans for the north south highway with a view to secure and finance and the timing of its commencement. Additionally this present administration will continue community road infrastructural management and improvements in housing settlements they also planned the expansion of the digital economy but that will have to wait as the speaker is now entering the chamber followed by the clock of follow-ups. Let us pray. Almighty God my Umalun kings reign and princes decree justice and from Umalun come if all council wisdom and understanding we dine on will be servants here gathered together in dynamic do most assembly be seized to send down thy heavenly wisdom from above to direct and guide us in all our consultations. And grant that we having died here always before our eyes and laying aside all private interests prejudices and partial affections the result of all our councils may be to the glory of thy blessed name the maintenance of true religion and justice the safety honor and happiness of the queen the public will peace and tranquility of St. Lucia and the uniting and knitting together of the hearts of all persons and estates within the same in true christian love and charity one towards another through jesus christ our lord amen the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god and the fellowship of the holy ghost be with us all evermore amen.

games in Birmingham i have also received correspondence from the member from castries central requesting permission to table a motion referring the leader of the opposition and member from microsoft

speaker this statement is on the monkey park situation on saturday july 23 2022 the director general of the world health organization declared the current multi-country monkeypox outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern this announcement comes one month after the initial meeting of the emergency committee under the international health regulations met and concluded that the current monkeypox event did not meet the criteria to be considered a public health emergency of international concern since that initial decision approximately 13 000 new cases have been reported with an additional 28 countries reporting cases mr speaker a public health emergency of international concern is defined as an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease and to potentially require coordinated international response by making such a declaration the world health organization provides an opportunity to mobilize international response to this outbreak and to implement non-binding but practically and politically significant measures that can address travel trade quarantine screening treatment and so on the world health organization can also set global standards of practice recommendations have been set for countries depending on their various levels of transmission for countries such as st lusia who have not reported a case the guidance is to strengthen surveillance to detect cases sensitize the public and healthcare workers to identify and report cases strengthen clinical management and effect infection prevention and control measures the world health organization does not advise any restrictions on travel and trade at the moment st lusia through its preparation and management of the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to reassess and strengthen its public health response to infectious diseases and works with its regional and international partners to continue preparation for the introduction of monkeypox in st lusia if that becomes necessary i thank you very much mr bill's paper sorry papers to be laid mr prime minister thank you mr speaker mr

eyes have it leave is granted please proceed thank you very much mr speaker mr speaker i'm sure you'd allow me to sound the people of st lusia and by extension the people of castries east for the historic action that they took on july 26 2021 when they elected all of us in this honorable house but what's most important is when they elected 15 of us to form the government of st lusia mr speaker it is my it's my hope that we will continue to serve the people of st lusia to put the people of st lusia first to continue to battle the economic problems that we've inherited and the other problems that have that have come on to us not of our own doing but because the circumstances may be on our control let me just speak up with the support of the people and the support of members of this honorable house i'm sure we will prevail i want to be the speaker to go on record to sincerely thank my colleagues in the cabinet and outside the cabinet who have worked together as a team and i'm sure the people of st lusia have understood the situation and they will work with us for the betterment mr speaker i also want to tell you that because of one of the promises that we made is that we've given pensioners a one-off payment of five hundred dollars at the end of july mr speaker and as i speak that money is in the bank account and also mr speaker after discussions with the n i c the n i c has agreed to give all pensioners a four and a half percent increase starting from july this year mr speaker it is said that justice delayed is justice denied this middle mr speaker the recording of court proceedings act mr speaker is to provide for the recording and transcribing of court proceedings and for related matters mr speaker doing my budget statements earlier this year i made the point that it was in the system there was there was a backlog of cases in the system and that backlog was causing justice to be denied and was causing frustration and many times because of frustration the the result was not what we expected to be and in that budget statement mr speaker i allocated in excess of two million dollars for a swift justice project where we are going with the support of the justice ministry we are going to employ new criminal criminal judges and our criminal court so that we can expedite some of the cases particularly the murder cases that are languishing in the bodily facility mr speaker so mr speaker this court proceedings bill is another step in the swift justice in the swift justice project mr speaker and mr speaker in the where the appropriate recording equipment is in these courts the bill once enacted can greatly improve the time within which the official transcript transcript can be made available and thereby enable a party to proceed with their matter in the court of appeal the bill also provides a judicial officer or party to have quick access to the official transcript of the record of the court proceedings the process of preparing an official transcript of the record of the court proceedings is required for several purposes including for review by judges in the course of running a decision in a case for review by an attorney for a party during the course of the trial or for an appeal by a party within the court to be scheduled and heard before the court of appeal at present the official transcripts are prepared by the computer either transcripts cuts units or external service providers where persons will listen to the recordings which are made of the court proceedings and then manually type the manuscript the transcripts this process to prepare an official transcript can take a considerable length of time since very laborious tasks and there can be several requests for transcripts which can delay how soon a transcript can prepare an official transcript which has been requested the delays in the probationary transcript of the record of court proceedings is oftentimes a cause of significant delay for some matters which are to be heard by the court of appeal in addition the cost to the litigants to prepare a transcript can be quite high as the payment is made for each type page in the official transcript the cost per page is also higher if a party makes a request for an expedited transcript which is usually prepared overnight or even a certain number of days this cost may sometimes be an issue which could deny a litigant access to justice since it may not be able to afford to pay for the official transcript and proceed to have the matter paid by the court of appeal Mr. Speaker and that is significant because we believe that each man and woman is equal in the eyes of the law no one is above the law Mr. Speaker and some people of lower incomes may not be able to pay for these transcripts so that makes it easier and more accessible daily Mr. Speaker so Mr. Speaker even in terms of justice we are putting people first on the news this new bill a party will only be asked to pay a fee for the audio or video recording file where it's available and not a fee per page of a typed document the bill will allow the chief registrar or senior manager to cause the proceedings of court to be recorded using audio or video recording equipment or by any other means which they may direct the bill also provides for the calling of court proceedings which are made to be reproduced for the use of the court or parties to the court proceedings theization provides for the person who prepares the recording or transcript to certify as an accurate transcript of the court proceedings the electronic audio or video recording or type transcript of a court proceeding made in accordance with the bill once certified is an official transcript of the court proceedings and its validity must not be questioned on the ground of the qualification of the person preparing the transcript or making the recording therefore the actual electronic recording or video recording can serve as an official transcript and this can be made available in a very short timeframe after a matter has been heard in the court the bill for the provides for a part of provides a form for a party to court proceedings or another person to request a copy of the official transcript and for the chief registrar very short achieve my issue to without undue delay finish a copy of the of an official transcript when it has been requested and once the applicable fees have been paid when the official chancellor has received the party would then be able to provide the electronic recording as part of the record of appeal together if any sections which he may choose to be used to type text for ease of reference in the event of any conflicting views on what transpired at the hearing in the court below the full recording of the hearing will be available to the court of appeal for their review in order to arrive at a conclusion section 10 of the bill provides for the exemption from payment of fees to obtain an official transcript for judicial officers the attorney general the director public prosecution or other law officer who may obtain a transcript of court proceedings for the performance of his or duties as a law officer the other facilitator party to criminal proceedings who may on the basis be permitted by an order of the court to pay a reduced fee or be exempt from the payment of fees for the probation of an official transcript as stipulated by order of the court finally the bill provides for the chief justice and two other judges of the supreme court to make rules and for the chief justice to issue practice directions for the purpose of giving effect to it it must emphasize that this new bill what it provides for several enhancements to improve the access to justice does not in any way prevent the court process the current process from being used for the probation of transcripts where the court feels that is necessary to proceed in the manner or the equipment required is not available it is clear Mr. Speaker that the new bill once enacted can only serve to enhance access to justice for our citizens speed up a justice process available to the four litigants to pay reduced costs for obtain an official transcript of the court proceedings by passing this bill solution will join many of the other OECS member states and territories who have an acted acts which mirror the same and Mr. Speaker there are this is in essence Mr. Speaker what the bill is about Mr. Speaker and I think that it's a necessary piece of legislation it will modernize our system it will make justice more accessible and finally it will cause people who may not have the means to have easy access to their records or the court proceedings if there is need for the speaker i urge members to support this bill thank you Mr. Speaker and remember the question is that the recording of court proceedings bill be read a second time remember for view for north thank you Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker I I wish to make a very brief contribution to this bill recording of court proceedings the recording of court proceedings bill but before I speak Mr. Speaker I urge you to give me just a few moments to to thank the people of view for north for returning me to the parliament at this moment one year ago Mr. Speaker we're rallying the voters and I wish to thank all those who assisted me those who made sacrifices our team my family and everyone who continues to support this government and continues to support my efforts thank you very much now we may see you Mr. Speaker the recording of court proceedings bill why is this important and I want to spend a few minutes Mr. Speaker to explain because as the member for castries if Eastern Prime Minister indicated this government has made justice a very important part of its mandate justice for all and you can connect this to crime whether it be violent crime or petty crime and justice is important and while court transcripts may seem very remote to the ordinary citizen I want to spend a moment to explain Mr. Speaker to honorable members and to my constituents by extension why this is important first of all Mr. Speaker why do we need a transcript and what is a transcript so Mr. Speaker when you go to court what you say in the court as Prime Minister said the evidence and so on must be written somewhere it must be recorded so this is the transcript is the is the document or the evidence of that recording a transcript Mr. Speaker the official court transcript is important because the decision of a judge or other judicial officer may be appealed and tomorrow you have to appeal then this becomes very very important Mr. Speaker it's important for people to know that the record of proceedings it means the pleadings the declaration of readiness of readiness to proceed minutes of the hearings summary of evidence transcripts if prepared and file proof of service evidence received in the course of proceedings exhibits marked but not received into evidence notices petitions briefs findings orders et cetera et cetera et cetera so it's very important because people say Mr. Speaker why is it important sometimes Mr. Speaker Prime Minister indicated this attorneys and judges may want to review what has taken place so other difficulty a lot of us Mr. Speaker in the past I'm sure you know there are people who have been guilty of crimes and sentenced to prison and they have been able to recall the transcripts of court proceedings and prove the innocence years later I'm Mr. Speaker, even the great, the right honorable Sir Dennis Byron, the President of the Caribbean Court of Justice at the time, 2013, spoke to the whole issue of modernizing the court. And in a lecture delivered by Sir Dennis Byron, the Honorable Sir Dennis Byron, the role of the Caribbean Court of Justice and importance to Caribbean judicial and economic development, Sir Dennis Byron says this and I quote, the CCJ now operates in what can modestly be called a high-tech environment. This is essential to the court's efficient spanning of the watery divide between Belize in the north and Suriname in the south. Trials and case management conferences can now be conducted by video link. Video and audio recordings are the norm now. The official transcript is in the form of an audio digital record. Transcripts are available on the court's website. The same night of proceedings and pleadings and submissions are available to journalists with court approval. The technological and other innovations embraced by the CCJ have not come about by accident. They reflect the result of thoughtful planning and careful implementation. The Caribbean Court of Justice Strategic Plan 2013-2017 sets out the mission and vision together with the values by which the court and its staff will be guided in the carrying out of its mission. So even the great Sir Dennis Byron, Mr. Speaker, when he spoke about the role of the Caribbean Court of Justice, spoke to the whole issue of technology, the use of technology in the Caribbean Court of Justice. So this is very important. Saiyapata Pututmune. And lastly, Mr. Speaker, there is progress because the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, Mr. Speaker, started training in digital audio recording of court proceedings. And they've started training from April and we are looking forward to our judges and other officials of the court receiving training. So Mr. Speaker, while this bill may look very innocent, but it's very, very important for justice. It's very important for the rule of law. Even Mr. Speaker, there is a provision in the bill for a translator. So people who do not speak English, whether you are Spanish-speaking person or French, and even our Creole-speaking people can get justice because this bill provides for an interpreter. So I support this, Mr. Speaker, and it will continue to help us to advance the course, the course of justice in this country. I thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member for Sousa Sultivas. Good morning, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. I wish to make a very brief contribution to this bill, but I also want to take the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, as we have come on the anniversary of the last general election to thank the people of Sousa Sultivas for returning me to this honourable parliament to represent them, Mr. Speaker. Despite the odds, Mr. Speaker, the margin of victory in my constituency was quite respectable. Mr. Speaker, I have learned more so in recent past that the recording of history is very important, and if I did not rise to make a contribution, the documents of this House will be sealed to indicate that what is said before me is the case. But the honourable Prime Minister failed to mention that this is just a continuation of what has started, and without me clarifying that, it may actually be interpreted that this is something that has just been enacted, Mr. Speaker. So it is very important for the records. It is important for the records, Mr. Speaker. But, you know, it is about continuity. It is about continuity, and we need to continue. But, Mr. Speaker, I do support this bill because, Mr. Speaker, as the member of Yefodinov indicated, there have been several cases where transcripts have been revisited to bring people's guilty verdict to overturn people's guilty verdict. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to also make a site observation. I expect a response from my good friend, of course. But I just need to recognise that maybe I am the only one wearing a mask around the table, Mr. Speaker. And whether, you know, there is anything that, you know, the Minister of Health would like to bring to our attention, Mr. Speaker. You didn't see me anyway. You didn't see me. You didn't see me anyway, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I just want to, I think it's our personal responsibility, Mr. Speaker, to wear a mask if we want to. But to have it and acted in... Members, please allow the member for Suzyl. Remember, just for the record, you did say you were the only one wearing a mask. That is not quite correct. Around the table. That's not quite correct. If you look around the table, Mr. Speaker. Well, that was a quick one. Mr. Speaker. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me the time to indicate, Mr. Speaker, that this bill is actually a continuation of what I started. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Mr Speaker, I beg to present for first reading of the bill shortly entitled Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreements. Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement. Mr Speaker, I beg to move suspension and stand order 48-2 to allow the bill to go through its remaining stages at this sitting. Honour, remember the question is that standing order 48-2 be suspended in order to allow the Honourable Prime Minister to proceed with the remaining stages of the bill at this sitting. And now put the question as many as of that opinion say aye. Aye. As many as of a country opinion say no. I think the ayes have it. The ayes have it. Leave is granted. Please proceed. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement was established in October 19, 2021. Honour, as a body corporate responsible for the regulation of the securities market exchanges for persons engaged in security business and the public issue of securities in the Eastern Caribbean currency union. The agreement establishes the ECSRC which is the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission as the sole regulator for the Eastern Caribbean Securities Market, the CECSM, Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, what this bill is doing is to make the ECSRC an act of parliament to further strengthen the protections afforded by the Commission. So, Mr, the agreement, Mr Speaker, and it may also please the member, for sure, when I tell him that the agreement was signed by the then Prime Minister of St. Lucia on the 14th day of February 20, just February 2020. Just a year and a few months before that date. Mr Speaker, so the member shows that we're continuing. He signed the agreement and we make it the fourth of law. All right, members of the St. Lucia? Good. All right, records. It was established in 2001 and several amendments have been made to the agreement Mr Speaker. These are amendments made in the year 2000 to strengthen it, Mr Speaker. In the year 2020, Mr Speaker, the members of the ECCU signed another agreement which is the agreement that we are trying to put in the first of law, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, so basically, as I said, this agreement controls the business, manages the business of securities, regulates how the business is organized, Mr Speaker, to ensure that it meets international standards, Mr Speaker. And, Mr Speaker, it also, the agreement provides immunity of the ECCB from any court action. The ECCB is immune from any court action, Mr Speaker. And the agreement is enacted into domestic law in each ECCU member territory. The issue of the central bank's immunity from prosecution was therefore put beyond question. The Eastern Cayenne Central Bank cannot be brought through the judicial process because of that agreement, Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, it strengthens the protections offered by the commissioners, by the commission, the commissioners, the officers and the employees. So, Mr Speaker, so it basically is building an agreement into the first of law. This agreement has been sanctioned by all the members of the ECCU. So, all we have to do in St. Lucia is to pass it into legislation, Mr Speaker. Nothing, there is no, there is no depth in the details because, as I said, it was signed by the now member from Microsoft together with the governments of Antigua, Dominica, Monchak, St. Kitt's Nivis and St. Vincent, all members of the ECCU. I thank you, Mr Speaker. Honour, members, the question is that the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Bill be read a second time. And I'll put the question as many as of that opinion. Say aye. Aye. As many as of the country opinion. Say no. I think the ayes have it. The ayes have it. Wait, did I close the debate? No. I ought not to have done that. I didn't put any question. So, we just read a second time. Any member wishes to make a contribution? You wish to add anything? No, Mr Speaker. I think it's the bill is pretty, it's pretty straight out. So, I now put the question as many as of the opinion. Say aye. Aye. As many as of a country opinion. Say no. I think the ayes have it. The ayes have it. An act to provide for the implementation of the agreement establishing the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission and for related matters. Close two. Interpretation.

Say aye. Aye. As many as of a country opinion. Say no. I think the ayes have it. The ayes have it. One of the members, I beg to report that the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement Bill went through committee stage without amendments. Honourable Prime Minister. Mr Speaker, I move that the report of the committee be adopted and the bill be passed a third time. That we write a full time and passed. Honourable members, the question is that the report of the committee be adopted and that the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement Bill be read a third time and passed. I now put the question as many as of that opinion. Say aye. Aye. As many as of a country opinion. Say no. I think the ayes have it. Be it enacted by the Queen's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the House Assembly and the Senate of St Lucia, and by the authority of the same as follows. This act may be cited as the Eastern Caribbean Securities Regulatory Commission Agreement Act 2022. Mr Leader of Government Business, it is my understanding that the bill down to be debated at this point in time is a section or two is being rearranged and you wish to defer that bill to later. Proceeded the firearms bill. Minister of Finance. Mr Speaker, I beg to advance for second reading a bill shortly entitled Firearms Amendment. Mr Speaker, although today is a very joyous and happy day for us, particularly those on this side of the House, I am not very pleased to have to come to Parliament today to amend the Firearms Act, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, the amendment to the Fire's acts in its own by its own by this singular measure will not is not the only means by which the government intends to fight crime, Mr Speaker. It's a series of measures, Mr Speaker, but we believe that because of the increase of in the use of firearms, we ought to strengthen the laws against the illegal use of firearms, Mr Speaker. But the amendment to legislation is not the means to an end, Mr Speaker. This is because there are several, several factors that have to be corrected in this country. We do not manufacture firearms in St. Lucia. At least we don't manufacture serious firearms. The question is, Mr Speaker, how do these firearms enter the country? How do these firearms enter the country, Mr Speaker? And Mr Speaker, it's very sad when you have the information, when there's information, Mr Speaker, sometimes on how these firearms enter the country, Mr Speaker. There is something endemic in our system that would allow people to facilitate for the sake of money, the illegal importation of firearms, that cause human, that cause death, that cause destruction just for a few dollars, Mr Speaker. And, Mr Speaker, no matter what it costs me, during my tenure, that the people of Cassius East and my extension, people of St. Lucia and my extension, my cabinet colleagues, I will use every effort to stem the corruption in the system that allows these firearms to land into this country. Mr Speaker, I'm not, I'm not making any accusations. I'm not pointing fingers at any one of any group of people, Mr Speaker. But it can't be by coincidence. It can't be by coincidence, Mr Speaker, that so many firearms enter this country, I just said, from the United States. It can't be coincidence, Mr Speaker. It can't be coincidence. And I know that the members of the customs department are trying their best, but I urge them to be as vigilant because, Mr Speaker, when a firearm enters the country illegally and is used by a bandit, you never know who the bullet will hit. You never know, Mr Speaker, your family, your children, your spouse could be somewhere and they get hit by a street bullet, Mr Speaker. So even if we may believe that it may not reach us, we must understand that you never know when you'll be the unfortunate one and you will get struck down by a bullet. So, Mr Speaker, I want to urge the customs department, the members of the police force to do, use their best efforts. And I know the system is not perfect. I'm the first one to tell you that there is, that we need a lot of things. We need many things in the police. We need more equipment. We need more vehicles. We need everything. We need more money, Mr Speaker. But I want the members of the law enforcement agencies to understand that what you're doing is a labor of love for the protection of themselves first, their families, and by extension, the people of St. Lucia. So moving forward, Mr Speaker, I hope that with the strength of this legislation, Mr Speaker, the police can feel that they have the required backing and the system can support them. So this scourge of illegal firearms, this scourge of shootings that happen in this country, we hope it can come to an end. But as I said, this is just one of the measures, Mr Speaker, that we are taking to try to curb this menace, Mr Speaker. It's not pleasant for us to have to stand here and to have to pass that legislation where people can be sent to prison for life, for some offenses. It's not pleasant, Mr Speaker. But I want to warn, particularly the young people of St. Lucia, who may be tempted to carry guns for somebody, to go on a business, to carry a thing there, do not allow people to use you for their own vanity. When you are caught in the fire, the bossman is not the one who will pay for it. Do not allow anybody to give you anything to carry for them. Don't allow business because you are the one who's going to be in trouble. You are the one who's going to languish in jail because of the increased penalties, Mr Speaker. There is a better way. Carrying a firearm from point A to point B may give you $200. Mr Speaker, if you escape, the $200 will finish. But if you caught because of that legislation, you may end up spending, may end up spending the rest of your life in jail, Mr Speaker. It's serious legislation, as they say on the streets. That's not a joke. That's not a joke, Mr Speaker. Everybody, everyone should listen and read on the penalties that can happen because of this legislation. That is not a joke. This is serious business, this is serious business, Mr Speaker. It's serious. It's very serious business, Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, we are mending the firearms act, Mr Speaker. And the clause five of the bill, Mr Speaker, we are creating a firearm licensing board, the board. Presenting, Mr Speaker, firearm licenses are given solely by the Commissioner Police. This new act, as is the case in most other countries of the region, Mr Speaker, there is a firearm license can only be given by a board which comprises the commission of police, Mr Speaker. The poem is Secretary of the Ministry of Responsibility for National Security and free post is dominated by the minister approved by the cabinet, who are of high integrity, unable to exercise good judgment in fulfilling the functions under this act, Mr Speaker. And, Mr Speaker, I propose that the chairman of the board be the commissioner of police, Mr Speaker. So, we are the commissioner of police to chair the board, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, this means that the firearm license, a firearm license, there will be a broader section. More people are going to be involved in the issue of firearm licenses. I would not be the sole discretion of the commissioner of police, Mr Speaker. As I said, it's not new. Not new to St. Lucia. It happens in most other countries of the region where a firearm license is given by a board, Mr Speaker. So, the application process will be the same, but the issuance of the license will be done after a board meets to issue the license. Not new happens everywhere in the region. Clause 6 of the bill, Mr Speaker. Section 15, the firearm dealer license is amended to increase the penalty for summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for a maximum term of 10 years or to both and to increase the penalty for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum term of 25 years for failing to keep a proper register of firearms and ammunition. So, Mr Speaker, the only people who can legally sell firearms are people who have a license to sell it. So, if you know they have any business when selling gun, that's not a business where they get involved in. The only people who can legally sell firearms, Mr Speaker, if you have a firearm dealer license, nobody else can sell firearms. They must have a dealer's license, Mr Speaker. And if you don't have a dealer's license, you are caught conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum of 25 years. 25 years, Mr Speaker. So, the business of selling firearms must only be done, must only be done by somebody with a license, a license to sell it. Clause 7 of the bill, Mr Speaker. Section 16 of the Act, Converting a Fire. Now, Mr Speaker, what happens is sometimes, supposing you have a regular firearm, there are several individuals who have the skill of converting, converting a foot here into an automatic, you understand? So, whereas it would be, you could get rapid fire from that, from that regular gun by creating, by making some adjustments with Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, I know there are some people who have that skill of converting the, of converting the firearm, Mr Speaker. I want to warn them that the penalty for that has been increased for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum term of 25 years, for shortening the barrel of a shotgun or converting anything into a firearm. 25 years imprisonment if you, if you try to create an automatic, from a regular gun. So, you're not supposed to sell it, you're not supposed to convert it with Mr Speaker. The business of firearms are only for established dealers with Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, Clause 8 of the bill, Section 21 of the Act, firearms, imports, or export, Mr Speaker, is amended for summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years, or to both, and to increase the penalty for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum of 25 years for importing or exporting a firearm or ammunition without a license. So, if you import a firearm without a license, or you import ammunition without a license, Mr Speaker, and it doesn't mean that if it's only one firearm, you won't suffer the same consequences, you know. You could get the same thing for one firearm. So, the best thing to do is to stay away from it, Mr Speaker. 25 years imprisonment for importing or exporting a firearm or ammunition without a license. 25 years imprisonment, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, Clause 9 of the bill, a new Section 21A prohibitive weapons and ammunition, Mr Speaker. That's a new clause that is inserted in the Act to provide for the prohibition on the use, acquisition, possession, importation, manufacture, or supply of a semi-automatic and automatic weapon and ammunition, and for penalty on semi-conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000, or to imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years, or to both, and for conviction or indictment, imprisonment for maximum term of life, for an offense committed under the section. So, if you commit an offense with an automatic gun, if you try, you think you are a soldier, you won't have an M16 or AK, and you commit a crime, Mr Speaker, that ammunition is only to fight war. It's not for you. If you found a thing, if you found it, if you found it, Mr Speaker, you have, you can get a term of 10 years, and if you commit an offense with it, Mr Speaker, you can get a maximum term of life, a maximum term of life, Mr Speaker. If you commit an offense with a scope with an automatic weapon, an AK or M16 or semi, this, the kind of ammunition that we may have on the streets, Mr Speaker. Committing an offense with it, you can get imprisoned for life. So, Mr Speaker, close 10 of the bills, 22 of the acts, prohibition against possession without a license, is amended, and to increase the penalty for semi-conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000, or to imprisonment for a maximum term of 10 years, or to both, and to increase the penalty for conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a maximum term of 25 years for the possession or control of a prohibited weapon without a license. And, Mr Speaker, even licensed gun holders must remember to pay their licenses, because if you have a license, if you have a gun and you haven't paid the license, the gun become unlicensed. So, you have to make sure those if the licensed gun owners must pay the license, Mr Speaker. And people who believe that they can carry guns on them without a license, even though they don't intend to commit a crime, even though it is for their own protection, if you do not have a license, do not get a gun. If you don't have a license, do not get a gun, because if you found with a gun and you sent to court, it's possible, Mr Speaker, that you may be convicted and you may be charged a maximum fine of $50,000 for a maximum term of 10 years or to both. And if you commit or to both, Mr Speaker. So, again, this is serious and I urge all solutions to listen, to read, because as they always tell you, ignorance of the law is no excuse. So, you cannot say you did not know. So, the way is to be on the street and narrow as far as firearms are concerned, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, because 11th of the bill, the act is amended in section 24, prohibition against carrying a firearm ammunition in a public place, Mr Speaker. For carrying a firearm ammunition in a public place without a license or while drunk or under the influence of drugs, Mr Speaker, some reconfiction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for a maximum term of 10 years or both. Mr Speaker, again, there's a custom when people have illegal firearms and on the block they're pulling their piece out and they're showing it. By the very act of pulling out your illegal piece, Mr Speaker, you can be sentenced to 10 years imprisonment or fine $50,000. So, first of all, you should not have an illegal piece. And if you have an illegal piece and you show it in public, you can be, you can, a maximum fine of $50,000. And if you're drunk, who said? Say, Speaker, these are serious, serious fines. These are serious, serious, Mr Speaker. Warning the young people of St. Lucia, do not allow your life to go because of bad friends or because you want to prove a point, Mr Speaker. Clause 12 of the bill provides for an amendment in Section 26 of the Act possession of firearms with intent to injure. To increase the penalty for a summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for a maximum term of 10 years or to both. And to increase the penalty for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum term of life for the possession of a firearm with an intention to threaten or endanger life or property. The possession of a firearm with an intention to threaten or endanger life or property, Mr Speaker, if you are found guilty, Mr Speaker, you may, you may be sent to prison for life. So if you go at a man home and you pull it and you try to hold him up before gone or in a store and you're caught and you're found guilty, you can probably go to prison for life. Clause 13 of the section 27 of the Act use of a firearm or imitation firearm with intention to commit offense is amended to increase the penalty for summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for a maximum term of 10 years or to both. And increase the penalty for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for a maximum term of life or in addition to any other penalty a person is allowed under the Act for use of a firearm or imitation firearm with an intention to commit an offense. Again, Mr Speaker, serious, serious punishments if you use, if you hold up somebody or if you even what they call you, you flam, you flam, you flam somebody. You understand? You understand, Mr Bradley? Yeah. Yeah, if you flam a man, you pull up piece and you flam him. That's, that is the final seven charges this year. If you, you know, again, tell the Congress on the streets, basically, don't have a firearm and you have one, don't flam it. Because if you flam it, once you flam it and you have a license, you are in trouble, Mr Speaker. Stay away from firearms, even though an imitation firearm, so if you have an armor's gun and you, you, you pretend that it's a serious gun, you're in trouble. I mean, Mr Speaker, I hope that for this Christmas season, we do not allow any imitation guns to be putted in this country. The Speaker clause 14 of the bill, section 28 of the act, restriction on sale of firearm or ammunition is substituted to provide for the offense of manufacturing, selling, transferring, lending, repairing or modifying the firearm, ammunition and for penalty for summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for maximum 10 years or to both and for conviction and indictment imprisonment for maximum 25 years, Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, if you rent a firearm, you know, for less, it's going to block until they rent in a piece. If you rent a piece, Mr Speaker, you can go to jail for 25 years and the person that rented for you will also go to jail. So, don't rent, don't try to rent because if you rent it, even though it's not yours, you cannot say to the police that belong to that man there. You have it, so you're the one who is going to pay the penalty, Mr Speaker. Stay away from firearms. Stay away from firearms, Mr Speaker. Clause 15 of the bill, Mr Speaker, section 29 of the act, restriction on the sale of ammunition is substituted to provide for the offense of removing or origin of markings of a firearm, ammunition and for penalty for summary conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for maximum 10 years or to both and for a conviction indictment imprisonment for maximum 25 years. Again, Mr Speaker, if somebody offers you a firearm and say to you the police can't chase it because they've removed the serial number. Sometimes on the block, Mr Speaker, you can sandpaper the serial number and they tell you the police cannot find it, Mr Speaker. That's wrong. If they catch you, if they catch you with a firearm, where you try to erase the serial number, Mr Speaker, or you try to alter it, Mr Speaker, you can get imprisonment for 25 years. Clause 16 of the bill, Mr Speaker, the new section is a new section is there, 29A, restriction or exposure for sale or transfer and possession of a firearm and 29BDs and new sections prohibition on disposing or destroying a firearm for ammunition are inserted in the act to provide for the offense of exposing, possessing, disposing or destroying a firearm or ammunition for penalty, for a settlement conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for maximum two of 10 years or to both and a penalty for conviction on indictment to imprisonment for maximum two of 25 years. So disposing of a firearm so once they can prove that you're the one who dispose of it, Mr Speaker, once they can prove it in the court, you can go to jail for 25 years. Clause 17 of the bill, a new section 41A prohibition against illicit trafficking in firearms or ammunition is inserted in the act to provide for penalty for conviction and indictment to a maximum fine of $150,000 or to imprisonment for maximum two of 25 years, both for trafficking firearms or ammunition. So the law has been strengthened. So if you traffic in firearms, that means if you're trafficking in firearms or ammunition, Mr Speaker, you can be fined $150,000 or imprisonment for maximum two of 25 years. Clause 18 of the bill, Mr Speaker, section 29 of the act, power to stop and search is amended to increase the penalty to a maximum fine of $15,000 or to imprisonment for maximum two years or to both for failing to submit to a vehicle stop and search by a police officer. So if the police stop you and you said that you are not stopping, Mr Speaker, whether you have a motorcycle, a bicycle or a car, you and you refuse to stop, you can be fined $15,000 if you fail to submit to a vehicle stop and search by a police officer. So if you drive on the road, Mr Speaker, and the police stop you, dutifully stop your car, put your hand on the steering wheel and let the police do what they have to do. When they stop me, I stop. Sometimes when I drive myself and I get in a roadblock and the police stop me, I dutifully stop. And I say, officer, here's my license. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. But I stop, Mr Speaker. You see, Mr Speaker, nobody is beyond, no one is beyond the law. And I've said to every member of my family, you are not beyond the law. You can't afford to believe that you can be beyond the law, Mr Speaker. You have to follow the instructions of the police officer, Mr Speaker. Clause 19 of the bill provides for an amendment to Section 40 of the Act, search warrant to increase the penalty to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprison for maximum of 10 years or to both for obstructing or interfering for police officer conducting a search of a warrant. Again, Mr Speaker, some of us, when the police are involving searches, we either get in between them or we get them checked or we try to obstruct or we sit down on the evidence. Again, Mr Speaker, if you do that, this loss, this, you can be fined $50,000 or maximum to imprison for 10 years, Mr Speaker, for obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duties. Clause 20 of the bill, Mr Speaker, provides for an amendment to Section 47 of the Act, compulsory imprisonment to increase the penalty to imprisonment for maximum of 25 years for a person other than a juvenile who uses a firearm in the commission of an offense including kidnapping and robbery, obstructing a police officer while exercising his or her duty, threatening or causing injury to the governor general, a member of parliament, a judge or public officer. If you use a firearm, Mr Speaker, it is compulsory imprisonment to increase the penalty to imprisonment for maximum of 25 years for a person other than a juvenile who uses a firearm in the commission of an offense including kidnapping and robbery. So again, if you use, if you hold a people in a supermarket at their home, Mr Speaker, compulsory imprisonment for maximum of 25 years. Clause 21 of the bill, Mr Speaker, Section 50 of the Act, inquired by the appropriate authority, is amended, increase the penalty to a maximum of $25,000 or imprisonment for maximum two or three years or to both. In cases where inquiry into the purchase of ammunition is made and the person subject to the inquiry still is to provide any information requested by the appropriate authority or fails to appear before the authority if so required. So Mr Speaker, if you buy ammunition and you ask where an inquiry is made by the appropriate official as to where you bought it and you fail to comply, Mr Speaker, and you found guilty, the penalty is increased by $25,000 or to imprisonment, Mr Speaker. Clause 22 of the bill, Mr Speaker, a new section, Section 50A is added. Control delivery of firearms and ammunition is inserted in the Act. So all the ministers have entered an agreement to make a reason for the control delivery of firearms or ammunition to identify a person who commits an offense under the Act, Mr Speaker. That's self-explanatory. Clause 23 of the bill, Mr Speaker, Section 50 of the Act, general penalty provision is amended to provide for penalty for some reconviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 or to imprisonment for maximum two or three years or to both and to increase the penalty for conviction or indictment to imprisonment for maximum of 25 years for offenses committed under the Act on which a penalty is not specified. So if the penalties are aligned there, if you find, if you commit a crime that the penalties are not, the offenses are not there, it's called a general penalty provision, Mr Speaker. So your maximum of 25 years if an offense is committed under the Act for which a penalty is not specified. 24 of the bill, Mr Speaker, Section 22 and 3 of the Act regulation is amended to provide the minister to make regulations for the impolition and sale and possession of air rifles, guns and epistols. The minister of national security can make regulations for the importation of air rifles and other sporting guns, etc., Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, this is very serious legislation. These are very serious offenses, Mr Speaker. And, Mr Speaker, I really want again to urge the young men and women and sometimes the women, some young women, carry the firearms in their poses hoping that the police will not search them, Mr Speaker. Do not carry if your boyfriend loves you, you will let you carry a firearm for him because the jail, there is no segregation when it comes to jail for firearms is an equal opportunity offense. If you are, there is no gender bias when it comes to possession of firearms, Mr Speaker. So, again, Mr Speaker, I am urging the young people in this country do not allow any man to give your gun to carry and say that the police won't search you because you are a woman. Don't, don't, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, I am saying these things because I can feel, Mr Speaker, what will happen to a young man or young woman at 20, 21 years of age to go to prison for 25 years just for the simple, what looks like simple, like just carrying a firearm from point A to point B. Everybody, and I hope that the government information service makes these penalties known, both in English and in particular, because, as I said before, that is not a joke. I'm not saying it will cause it will stop crime. What I'm saying is these penalties, Mr Speaker, are penalties that we will not like any young person to go through the possibility of life imprisonment, Mr Speaker, just for what may at the time seem like just carrying something for somebody else. So, Mr Speaker, as I said, today is a joyous day for me and my colleagues, but I'm not very pleased to have to come to this Honourable House, to have to ask this Honourable House to pass this legislation, Mr Speaker, but it's not an end, Mr Speaker, but it's a means to assist us in the gun violence that's happening in San Lucia today, and this is the first step, the first stage, the number of steps, Mr Speaker. So, we want to tell the young people again, the people who have the guns, and the people who encourage for profits, who encourage for money, who allow these firearms to go into the wrong hands just for money, for vanity, Mr Speaker, who allow, because they get involved in corruption in their jobs, just for vanity, just to be able to live beyond their means. They allow these firearms to come into this country. I want to urge them, for the sake of themselves and for their children for the country, to stop it, Mr Speaker. Stop it. Stop it, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, I thank you. Honourable Members, the question is that the firearms amendment will be read a second time. The Member for Sousa, all of us. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, a few parliaments back, I did indicate in this House that I would support any stronger measures taken by the government to decrease the spiraling crime in our country. And so today I welcome the new bill. I also want to thank the members of the government for giving this bill the opportunity to be circulated widely, so people could have have an opportunity to read it. And one of the things I noticed, Mr Speaker, in discussion publicly was quite a few people who were commenting on the fee on the charge and they felt that it was still very low, Mr Speaker. I am also of the view that we should have also increased it more significantly, Mr Speaker. So it is unreachable for people who believe they have deep pockets to be able to give people a chance, Mr Speaker. So, Mr Speaker, I am quite happy that the bill is coming. But, Mr Speaker, I also believe that, and we have seen it, a lot of the crimes being committed by firearms, they go unpunished. The perpetrators are never caught. And I think there should have been a lot of emphasis in the bill as it relates to apprehending, apprehending and taking various initiatives to go certain places and do various raids and surprise visits to try to confiscate some of these offenders, Mr Speaker. And so, Mr Speaker, that is why it was a bit surprising that in terms of apprehending the canine unit, Mr Speaker, and I heard a conversation, a bit of conversation, as it relates to the cost to the country. But we must not underestimate the value of the canine unit and the ability for these dogs to sniff out firearms and to identify where these things are hidden, Mr Speaker. And, Mr Speaker, I think it should be made very clear to the taxpayers of the country that the payment of the use of the canine unit was not from the taxpayers, Mr Speaker, but from these funds obtained from the Proceeds of Crime Act, Mr Speaker, most of the payments that were being made, Mr Speaker. And in addition to funding the canine unit, these funds were also used to purchase bulletproof vests for the police, shields, even vehicles, Mr Speaker. And so I think the government should revisit, you know, bring in and maybe negotiate if the attitude is there. But that canine unit, Mr Speaker. Mr Speaker, I also want to ensure that the public, and we do not see the police as scapegoats in what's happening with the escalating crime, Mr Speaker. We all know that the police could still do with quite a bit of manpower. We know in many cases the police are exhausted from, you know, the kind of work they have to do, Mr Speaker. And so we should not in any way try to undermine the work that our police are doing. And I want to congratulate the entire Royals and Lucia Police Force for the work they have done to date and the work they will continue to do, Mr Speaker. But, Mr Speaker, while I am supporting this bill, there are few concerns and there are a few matters I would like clarification on. And I'm sure the AG, through the Prime Minister, will be able to give some sort of clarification. Mr Speaker, the latest amendment of the FIAM bill was received last night, Mr Speaker. And there's something that I noticed, Mr Speaker, that is the issue of tasers. Tasers were, it was removed and it's no longer defined as a FIAM. And that kind of concerns me, Mr Speaker, because I'm hoping we get some clarification as to what does that mean? Does it mean now that tasers will be in the hands of people who apply? Does it mean that the police will now be given the latitude to use tasers, Mr Speaker? And if so, Mr Speaker, it concerns me as it relates to the training. Because I did I did get some information with regards to tasers. I am no master on or technical expert on tasers, Mr Speaker. But one of the things that I noticed was that in the use of a taser come skin burns, injuries from falls and permanent brain injury. And in some cases, even death, Mr Speaker. Yeah, but there's a reason why it was taken out. Was it taken out because now you can bring it in? That is the that I'm seeking clarification on, Mr. I am seeking clarification. I'm hoping I would get it. That's okay. Mr Speaker, as I said, I'm seeking clarification with regards to why the tasers was removed, Mr Speaker. And hopefully we will get some clarification. The Honorable Prime Minister mentioned that the application for FIAM will be the same. Now, I'm not sure whether he meant the form, the prescribed form, or whether it means that if you apply for FIAM, you apply through the commissioner's office. The special branch does the investigation, whatever they do, and then they make a recommendation. And that recommendation is now sent to a board. And if the recommendation says reject, what can the board override that? Is there some of the questions we need to be asked, Mr Speaker? So I'm very concerned now, Mr Speaker, that we've taken away the issuing of a FIAM license from the commissioner police to now to a board. I heard the Prime Minister indicate that there seems to be a practice in the Caribbean. And while it may be a practice in the Caribbean, there are some examples and some cases that we need to be wary of. And I hope this morning I was referring to a member of the House as it relates to what happened in Jamaica, where in particular the Minister of National Security was also indicted for what they felt was his influence in trying to get the board to approve certain FIAM applications. I note, Mr Speaker, that the makeup of the board, and he says it, but won an administration two days as an established FIAM license in the board. The members of the board are the commissioner of police or his or her nominee, the permanent secretary in the ministry responsible for national security, and three persons nominated by the minister and approved by the cabinet who have high integrity and are able to exercise good judgment in fulfilling the functions under this act. Mr Speaker, I think that's a dangerous diversion, Mr Speaker, to get members of the government of cabinet to get involved in the issuance of FIAM licenses, Mr Speaker. We recognize, Mr Speaker, the fact that the minister is going to appoint three out of a total of five automatically gives the minister's appointment overall authority. No, I'm very interested in the process going forward, Mr Speaker. We have to be very, very, very careful, Mr Speaker. That's the perception, public perception, Mr Speaker. That's what we have to be very careful of, public perception as it relates to how FIAMs are issued. So, Mr Speaker. Members, please allow the member for a surzel to make his contribution. Mr Speaker, why are you talking so much? Member for Castries Central, you will have an opportunity to speak on this bill. So, Mr Speaker. Just a minute, Mr Speaker. Member for Castries Central, please allow the member for a surzel to continue without interruption. As I said, Mr Speaker, I continue to seek application with regard to that. If we take in this thing very seriously, Mr Speaker, we have to look at all facets of it, Mr Speaker. Will people who have had FIAM applications denied in the past, will they now have an opportunity to come to make a new application to the new board, Mr Speaker? These are questions that we have to ask, Mr Speaker. I think so strongly, Mr Speaker, and I heard the Prime Minister indicate that he recommends that the Chairman be the Commissioner of Police. I hope that when we get to that stage, that that amendment will be made because it is not indicated in the Act. And as I was indicating, Mr Speaker, I think so strongly about a board being placed there. I think that maybe, you know, people may want to take issue with what I'm saying, but I believe at that stage, Mr Speaker, people whose FIAMs are approved should be published publicly. Have you looked at Section 2C of Bill 12? No, Mr Speaker, it does not speak to the Commissioner. Are you referring to the 2C? The Minister shall appoint the Chairperson. He doesn't say that in the Act, you know. It's in the discussion. Okay, but that doesn't matter. It has to be in the Act. No, but I'm saying it, okay, yeah, okay, right. So it will be amended in committee stage. That's fine, right? And that's what I'm just saying. Members, members, please hold on. If a bill gives a member, please, if a bill gives a member the power to appoint a particular person as Chair, and in the presentation of the bill to this honorable House, he makes it known who the Chairman shall be. Member for Miku South and Member for Cassis East. I am speaking, and when I'm speaking, no other member shall speak. So if a member who is presenting a bill, which bill gives him the authority to make a recommendation, and he states in his presentation that that is his recommendation, how does that not, are you aware of what it means to present a bill? Everything you say there, that becomes the lawyer. Mr. Speaker, I thank you for sharing your wisdom on this, Mr. Speaker, but in my layman's view, I think it should actually be recorded in the Act. That's my thinking. I guess the lawyers can clarify and indicate to me that maybe that's not the case. But that's how I, so Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, while I welcome the increased penalty, Mr. Speaker, there must be a feeling, Mr. Speaker, by the citizenry, that this process is transparent, this process is fair, Mr. Speaker, and that license issue of license for Mr. Speaker will be one that is provided to people who are truly deserving of it, Mr. Speaker. And I'm hoping also, Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, that some further clarification will be given to us with regard to the whole teaser issue, Mr. Speaker. There's just one more thing I would like to mention before closing, Mr. Speaker, and that is the board also, based on what I'm reading here, shall grant and renewal license or permit, Mr. Speaker. One of the problems we have in public office and people see it as the amount of bureaucracy, Mr. Speaker. And I'm kind of concerned with regards to the renewal, the renewal having to go to a board. And in terms of the efficiency of that process, Mr. Speaker, because sometimes, Mr. Speaker, an individual, and as rightfully said by the prime minister, even if you are a legal firearm holder, the day your firearm license expires, you're no longer, you're no longer a legal firearm holder and you can be charged. And sometimes, Mr. Speaker, similarly to when your vehicle insurance expires, Mr. Speaker, you rush and try to get it paid so that you remain within the law, Mr. Speaker, I am concerned that somebody identifying their firearm license expires today and rushes to renew its firearm license. It has to go to SSU for them to inspect the firearm and, you know, Mr. Speaker, that sort of efficiency. What is the process with regards to that? Can we not have the renewal continue to be done in the way that is done currently, Mr. Speaker, which is a quicker process? I note the power of the board also, the board also has the power to revoke a license, Mr. Speaker. There's nothing to indicate what would you know, qualify a license to be revoked, except of the fact that I guess we spoke to somebody being drunk, but the person was being penalized in terms of the charge, not necessary that the license would be revoked. I thought a lot more discussion and information with regards to the revocation of a license, you know, whether, you know, somebody could just be targeted for the license to be revoked, Mr. Speaker. So these are some of the questions I'm hoping that would be clarified a little later, Mr. Speaker. But as I said, I do support the increased penalties because I think it's a pointing in the right direction. But I also believe a lot more emphasis should be given to apprehension and not just necessarily, you know, increase in penalties. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The member for Miku South, are you deferring to Miku North? Member for Miku North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today marks a very important day in my political career. Today marks one year since I became the parliamentary representative for Miku North. Having said that, Mr. Speaker, please permit me to stir a little before I commence my contribution to this bill. I want to start by wishing the patrons of descent and parish, Mr. Speaker, and that's my home parish, happy parish feast, as they prepare to celebrate tonight. And I want to extend my condolences to the Chalry family who recently buried their loved one, Miss Lucille Chalry, better known as Miss La Belta. Today, Mr. Speaker marks a year since the people of Miku North created history at the polls. And for the first time, they brought the seat home to the St. Lucille Liberal Party. I want to sincerely thank the people of Praline, Mamiku, Monripu, Lahu, Grass Street, Passiers, Lapwet, St. Mary, Mon Warden, magnitude S-Carp, Violet, Mayet, and the Miku village, Mr. Speaker, for placing their confidence in me and giving me the opportunity to represent them in the House of Parliament. I also want to thank those individuals, Mr. Speaker, in the diaspora who work tirelessly to ensure that I am where I am today. Mr. Speaker, permit me to mention some of these individuals quickly who despite not residing in the constituents currently, they continue to play an integral role in the development of Miku North. Jubilee, Daniel, Tobu, Bia, Frances, Adria, Mary, Celia, Gaston, Dennis, Furness, and all the others. And I will not be able to mention all of them, Mr. Speaker, and I ask that they forgive me. Those who I may not have remembered this morning ask that they forgive me. Thank you for buying into the mantra Miku Seisanu and contributing towards the development of a Miku that you can proudly call yours. I have to also mention, Mr. Speaker, a few stalwarts in the community who work like donkeys during the campaign to ensure that we achieve this feat. My campaign manager, Ms. Phyllis, Yu Yu, Cynthia, Lorely, Mayu, Labas, Silas, Mr. Rosary, Peterson, Ms. Befelid, Felicia, Tasha, Risha, Mr. Cagney, Jakoda, Mr. M, Bakiad, Mr. Henry, Bevelian Wilbuffa, Nelva and Minelva, Ogyan Ulan, Red Rat, Ghana, Yanet, Chanel, my constituency branch, my office staff, my friends, and in a very special way, Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my prayer support group, the fishermen and the farmers, my family and my mentor. To say that the past year has been a walk in the park or it has been all glitter and glimmer, Mr. Speaker, would certainly be an untruth. The last year has been a learning curve for me. And it has definitely come about with some of its challenges. It has not been the easiest year in which to govern. And as a country, Mr. Speaker, we are still trying to come to terms with the pandemic. We have seen the dark clouds of inflation covering our skies due to the Russia-Ukrainian War. In my constituency, Mr. Speaker, I continue to grapple with the issues of sagasm and the high rates of youth unemployment. And as I say, sagasm, Mr. Speaker, I want to, I know that the fishermen are very concerned, but I can say today in this vulnerable house that as we speak, works are being done to take care of the sagasm situation in Mecood. And hopefully as soon as we are done with Mecood, we are going to move to Prowley to continue the works. Hopefully then we have to. I'm also charged with responsibility, Mr. Speaker, of managing expectations of individuals, especially those expectations which are not realistic and sometimes very individualistic. But as one who believes in the world, I can tell you that God knew exactly what he was doing when he appointed the men and women of this government to handle the affairs of this country, Mr. Speaker. I want to tell my colleagues today, let us not become weary and doing good. For the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Let us continue to put St. Lucia and the affairs of St. Lucia first. Now, Mr. Speaker, I want to learn my voice in support of the amendments to the firearms bill. I will be the first to admit, Mr. Speaker, that we have a serious problem, a serious problem on our hands. And as a matter of fact, sometimes I even say that we are in a state of crisis. There is no running away from the harsh reality which we are faced with in this country, although this alarming and disconcerting incidents and phenomenon of crime is not unique to only St. Lucia. We see similar situations in Jamaica, Trinidad, you turn on your televisions and your radios, Mr. Speaker, and you cannot help but be saddened by the news of another gun related homicide. Mr. Speaker, dealing with the situation requires an urgent and desperate need for innovative, creative, pragmatic thinking and strategies and the amendments to this bill is part of the strategy, Mr. Speaker. Allow me to quote the words of Dr. Vellon John from his piece, A Certain Perception. We, the movers and shakers in this society and on whatever level and in whatever sphere, have to be creative and proactive in the posture we assume in the containment of crime. And it is a posture that must be holistic, for it is only in so doing that we can bring about a celebration revolution in thought, in perception, in attitude and conduct of the members of society. There are some very important words in this quote, Mr. Speaker. We, the movers and the shakers. And in this room I see quite a few movers and shakers, Mr. Speaker. We as politicians have been charged with the responsibility of sparing, of sparing, of the moving and shaking. Then I look at the next few words in this quote. We have to be creative. We have to be proactive in the posture that we assume in the containment of crime. This is what we are doing, Mr. Speaker. We have acknowledged that there is a problem with crime and gun-related offences. We have taken the bold decision to tackle the situation head on as part of our crime fighting strategy. And it is for this reason that we are in this honorable house today debating the proposed amendments. And I want to commend the Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker, for being able to stand here boldly. Others make power in the face of adversity, but he was able to stand boldly and said that it does not matter what it costs him or his government. But if it is for the interests and for the betterment of the people of St. Lucia, that he is going to take the decision. And I want to commend him for being able to stand here and being able to take that decision to bring these amendments before the house today. Now note well, Mr. Speaker, I said as part of the strategy. We understand all too well that legislation alone will not suffice or it will not solve the problem before us. We understand that crime fighting and dealing with gun-related offences is a lot more complex and complex than what actually meets the eye. That is why, Mr. Speaker, that is why that as part of our manifesto promise, we agreed to tackle crime in a holistic manner. We have started this process. We started tackling some of the deficiencies as it relates to the physical infrastructure component of dealing with crime. Mr. Speaker, you would recall not too long ago, a fleet of vehicles were handed over to the police to help both study operations. The budget this year has an allocation for the reinstatement of a custody suite. There is also an allocation for the regional headquarters in Grozili and we returned the training volt for the police. Work is underway, Mr. Speaker, to improve the conditions at the bodily correctional facility. A few weeks ago, we witnessed promotions happening within the ranks and fires of the Royal Central Police Force and now the amendments to the fire and bill. Mr. Speaker, crime should never be politicized. It should never be. But there is no shine away from the efforts of this government, Mr. Speaker. We cannot shine away from the efforts of this government to put measures in place to bring peace and comfort to the Central People. The measures which I mentioned are essential to dealing with what we are faced with currently, Mr. Speaker. But we also understand that we have a responsibility to ensure that our children and our grandchildren do not inherit what we have to deal with today. The only way to do so is to work on the parenting and education aspects and to provide an enabling environment so that the generations to come can thrive. We need to build a resilient solution which is not so heavily affected by external factors. And I know some people may say that this is wishful thinking. But, Mr. Speaker, I believe in our people. I believe in the ability of our people as solutions. So, I know that we can achieve whatever it is that we put our minds to. This is why, Mr. Speaker, the programs like Back on Track, among others, they provide us with some kind of social intervention. And these programs continue to be a priority for this government. We are proposed to broaden the primary school education to address critical thinking, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence. And all of this, Mr. Speaker, is in an effort to utilize a multi-dimensional approach to dealing with gun violence and crime in general. Mr. Speaker, there is usually an inherent or acquired need to score political points when dealing with issues related to crime or to please blame on administrations before us. But this government refuses to adopt this posture. As we have all noticed, and some of us here, Mr. Speaker, we have even experienced the incidents of gun-related offenses, and we know that it is alarming. And what has exacerbated the alarming situation is the involvement of our youth in this scenario of vicious, mindless, and sometimes deadly activity. Mr. Speaker, more often than not, we have incidents of gun violence, our young people are involved, our young people are dying, and we cannot allow this to continue. Mr. Speaker, I am a young man. And when I think about the way in which so many of our young men meet their demise, Mr. Speaker, I am a young man. Yes, and I want the record to see that I am a young man, despite what the member for then renof me think. And Mr. Speaker, when I think about the way in which so many of our young men meet their demise, it really hurts to see that so many young men and women, as we have seen recently, they fall victim to gun violence and crime. There are issues that we can point to which contribute to crime, Mr. Speaker, unemployment, dysfunctional homes, genetic endowments, poverty. But none of these, Mr. Speaker, can justify a person taking a firearm and killing another. None of these. Mr. Speaker, the proposed stiffer penalties in this legislation is intended to discourage persons from obtaining illegal firearms. And in a similar fashion, Mr. Speaker, like the member for Schoesel, I believe that it could have been a little stiffer. But we too have to also be considerate, Mr. Speaker, when we're passing laws. We have seen a situation where individuals have been caught with illegal firearms. And in less than a week, Mr. Speaker, they have made bail and they're back on the streets doing even more things. We have heard individuals saying that when they buy their illegal gun, they put their 10 and their $15,000 aside right away in the event that they are caught, arrested, convicted. And Mr. Speaker, we cannot allow this to continue. And that is what this piece of legislation or the amendments to this piece of legislation is trying to discourage. Where persons believe right now, Mr. Speaker, $15,000 have been made to look like $20. Like somebody can literally just put $15,000 on the side, hold their firearm and wait in the event police hold them. They know where their bill money is coming from or where the fine money is coming from. So I support this bill, Mr. Speaker. And I support the stricter penalties. I support the stricter fines and confinement. However, as I said, Mr. Speaker, we need to look at this in a holistic manner. We need to be able to provide the police with the support. And I'm happy that the prime minister in his presentation, the member for castries, spoke about ensuring that we implement the sweep justice system to deal with the backlog of cases. Because I know that that is one of the problems that impedes our progress, Mr. Speaker, as it relates to dealing with matters, fire matters. We have situations, fire matters. I, too, Mr. Speaker, from my police days, I have matters which are still in the court for about seven or eight years. And it is sad that persons have to wait seven or eight years for their fit. And I think that if we have a sweep justice system where these matters can be disposed of urgently and quickly, we will also see a decline in the amount of gun related offenses. Or if we don't see a decline in the amount of gun related offenses, we are certainly going to see an increase in the amount of convictions. So, Mr. Speaker, when it hits home, or when it hits home, especially in my constituency, I have to speak and I have to support the bill. A few weeks ago, Mr. Speaker, I was in my constituency and I had to prematurely end my constituency day to attend and visit a family who had a son who got shot in Parley. And before we used to see it was in castries, then we say this in view of what Mr. Speaker, crime affects everyone of us in this room. And we've seen little pieces or we've seen the effects of crime trickled down to every constituency in this country. And we have to also understand that gun violence affects every aspect of our economy. It affects tourism, which we are heavily dependent on and we cannot allow this to continue. So, I support the intention of this bill. I know that this bill, the intention is good. I'm hoping to see that we can actually make this thing work, Mr. Speaker, but it would need the efforts of every one of us. So, in closing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to once again lend my voice in support of this bill and I'd like to encourage all agencies in society to play their part in dealing with this multifarious phenomenon as it affects all of us. I want to reiterate my support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The member for castries east. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Yes, of course, Mr. Speaker, I want to be extremely brief on this, on my support on this piece of legislation. But of course, to meet me to express my, of course, commendation and support for those who are celebrating today, this anniversary of the Labour Party, including myself. But of course, Mr. Speaker, I need to, I need to let sandwich understand and to let us understand that we all celebrate differently. And my own experience in participating in this in the past election was a very unique and personal one. And up to now, Mr. Speaker, I can say that I haven't jumped in jubilation as one would have expected me to. But of course, my circumstances and my situation is different. And it's for this reason I joined to support this piece of legislation and to add my voice in supporting in a very special way. Mr. Speaker, a number of persons in St. Lucia have experienced the loss of loved ones through some violent means, especially when it's uncertain and gun violence is partly responsible to a number of persons losing the loved ones. I personally know what it is to speak to a healthy son on a Friday and to hear of his passing on Saturday. And of course, grieving continues throughout. And sometimes I ask myself to persons understand why I would not jump and punch my fist in the air to celebrate because grieving continues throughout your lifetime. And therefore I want to this morning remember all persons who have lost a loved one through violent means. And in a particular way, remember some young lady, 23 years old, Sasha Polius of Beller, a constituent of mine. Her body has just been found a few I think a few days ago. And of course, I heard the story of her legs being amputated or watered view. And I do sympathize with Lilly and the rest of the family who in a serious way are mourning just like some other St. Lucia. But of course, as the Prime Minister presented this important piece of legislation and most persons would be hearing the conditions for deterrent. I need to remind the young men and persons listening to us this morning. We are not doing this thing because of any our disposition to young men in St. Lucia. We care about the young men in St. Lucia. In fact, it is this very government that expunge the book records of some of our young men who are currently in prison and to make the records clean with us who were caught with some small bits of marijuana. It is the same government who have actually invested through institutional strengthening for the back and track ministry to provide opportunities and support for some of our inmates while in prison. In fact, it is the same government that is using some amount of our allocation towards providing microenterprise for some of our inmates who are about to come out so that they do not get back inside of there. And of course, we want to recognize the support program, of course, the details of which will be explained in the youth economy directed about our same young people. So I just thought, Mr. Speaker, that I remind us that the money in which we are pursuing the issue of gun violence and the piece of legislation that has been passed to be a deterrent, it is not intended to create a bad relationship with our young men, but it is to tell them that we do not accept gun violence in our society. We do not accept taking lives for no reason. We do not accept violence perpetrated to our young girls, to our mothers, to families. We want a peaceful society. This is the essence of this piece of legislation. And of course, this will not be the only intervention made, like I said. We have expunged the records of young men in prison who were in there for some bits of marijuana. We understand social justice. We understand the principle of equity. We understand what it is to create a society equal for everyone. But also we understand the need for making our society safe so that everybody can enjoy it. And therefore, this is really a deterrent. It is saying that you should not have access to illegal weapons. You should not just pull up a weapon and kill somebody. This is what we're saying to our young men in our society. And of course, as anything else, I'm hopeful. I am optimistic that we will do better in spite of how dark it looks at this time. We, with this government, with our tint of red this morning, and Mr. Speaker, I wish there was some sort of a standing order to allow only red to be present this morning. But of course, in the spirit of the democracy, we have to embrace two bits of yellow. But this morning, I think with all the, well, of course, and some blue as well, but it is really a national acknowledgement of what the people of St. Lucia did on the 26th of July, two years ago. And of course, it's nothing wrong if the members on the other side, this morning, in the spirit of what St. Lucia said, add a bit of red to the yellow shirts, of course, it would make the atmosphere even better. But this morning, everyone in red is saying thank you to our political leader. Thank you to St. Lucia's who gave us the opportunity, not just to bring this piece of legislation, but have ushered in a new atmosphere so our people can be prosperous, our people can be more peaceful. I trust Mr. Speaker that for the rest of the proceedings, you would hear a lot more, a lot more in terms of what we've done. I could tell the people of Cassbury's office that we are poised to make a difference in the lives of people. And that difference is important because while some of our people may have voted, some people may have supported a lot what we've done, change is something sometimes difficult to embrace. And sometimes, people do not understand what change is. We have not just voted for change, but the manifestation of change will be seen and experienced in the lives of St. Lucia's. So thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I support this piece of legislation as a deterrent to young men being participating in gun violence and making life difficult for St. Lucia's. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my support for the bill presently before us for debate. Mr. Speaker, before I continue on the specifics of the bill and the context in which the bill has been put before us, Mr. Speaker. I would like you, Mr. Speaker, to allow me leave to say a few words, Mr. Speaker. Of course, as has been said by colleagues before, today is a historic day. And such is the impact of the significance of today, Mr. Speaker. I notice that even you have been making a few mistakes, Mr. Speaker. And it's a little unusual for the Honorable Speaker to get off course. And I trust, Mr. Speaker, it is the memories of July 26, 2021, Mr. Speaker. A day on which, Mr. Speaker, all the barking dogs, all the jackasses, all the mendicants came out to vote, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, I note that the member for Mikosouth has left the chamber, because I was going to ask him, how does it feel when the barking dogs finally bite, Mr. Speaker. But he's not there, Mr. Speaker. So I shall go on, Mr. Speaker, to express sincere thanks to all the constituents of mine who voted for me. And, Mr. Speaker, I will tell you I spent five years in opposition. And I learned what it is to be an elected representative. And it had its challenges. But, Mr. Speaker, I will tell you in the last year has brought new challenges. And I'm really, Mr. Speaker, admiring my colleagues who have served for multiple terms. The member for Euphratesouth, the member for Casteries East, the member for Labry, for Euphratesouth North, and the member for Casteries North, the member for Casteries Central. And the member from Casteries Central probably best knows the constituency that I represent, because we serve next to each other. The demands that you face when you're in government, Mr. Speaker. And we all change. You move from being a member in opposition, if a lot of time on your hands to visit everybody and spend a lot of time with them, to now having ministries to run and having to find that balance, Mr. Speaker. And, of course, everybody simplifies it to you when you're in opposition. They give you patience, Mr. Speaker. But now you're in government. They want you to deliver for them as quickly as you could. So I must say to my constituents, not all are very happy with me now. They don't see me as often as before. I cannot meet all the needs immediately, Mr. Speaker. But there are some people, Mr. Speaker, in thanking the constituents who supported me, that I must mention, Mr. Speaker. If you start in Marigold, you must mention Corrine, Mr. Speaker. And if you go to Bastard-Joseph, you must mention Allen, Mr. Speaker. And, of course, Mr. Speaker, you go to Fuashio, Mr. Speaker. And Goods is not with us anymore, nor Palace. But we still have Robert and Shock here and so many others, Mr. Speaker. The Leos and the Papins, the Sonny's, Mr. Speaker. And, of course, if you go to the Old Cemetery Hospital Road, Mr. Speaker, my place of Mr. Speaker, we have so many persons who worked so hard for this victory from Fat Boy and Charlene and Sean and all the others, Mr. Speaker. And I hope, Mr. Speaker, that when they join me at my AGM on August 14th, and I present to them what I've been working on for the last year, and show them the transformation and to take place in Kastri South, Mr. Speaker, I know they will be impressed if all the hard work I've been putting in for the last year. I'm not sure I want my colleagues to join me and to see all what I will present, Mr. Speaker. But I can tell you, we have quite a lot that we would want to discuss on that day. But I can say, Mr. Speaker, today, Mr. Speaker, that the Bastard-Joseph road has started, Mr. Speaker. The Marigold road has started, Mr. Speaker. The courting Cicera has been repaired right now, Mr. Speaker. The plain feeling Cicera that was stopped in 2016, Mr. Speaker, will commence rehabilitation this week, Mr. Speaker, one year later. And the Bastard-Joseph multipurpose center that was stopped in 2016 will recommence, Mr. Speaker, in the next couple of weeks, all within one year, Mr. Speaker. This government is putting people first, Mr. Speaker. And I am proud, Mr. Speaker, of what we've done. I can speak of so many other, the housing repairs, the school assistants, the food vouchers, so much we've done, Mr. Speaker, in one year, that I certainly feel proud that we are a member of this government, Mr. Speaker, and for us to be delivering to the people of St. Lucia. But, Mr. Speaker, the only sad note for today, Mr. Speaker, is that the opposition still does not learn some of the fundamentals, Mr. Speaker. They don't, Mr. Speaker. They still believe, they did everything right, and the people are grateful for not returning them to office, Mr. Speaker. They believe that, they honestly believe that. And I heard the member from Straszl-Saltibus, Mr. Speaker, my dear friend. I heard it called New Spin. And it's the most disturbing call ever made. And I wonder, Mr. Speaker, what's happening to the ponytail, Mr. Speaker, because, Mr. Speaker, there seemed to be something wrong with even him, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, he is saying the reason why they lost the elections is because the Labour Party is so good at half-truths. And I'm saying to myself, but they are masters of untruths, Mr. Speaker. You know, they don't even know the value of truth and honesty in government. They don't, Mr. Speaker. And he's saying they were always on the back foot, and they should have been on the front foot. And he was speaking in relation to the agreement that was signed last week by the Prime Minister for the Grand Hyatt Hotel. And he was complaining, Mr. Speaker. The same member in 2016 who said, we don't need hotels in Straszl, we just need factory shells. He said it. Member for Straszl, you have a point of interruption and the point of order. The member is misleading, you know. Mr. Speaker, the member knows I did not compare my factory, as he said, my warehouse to the hotel. I did say very clearly, Mr. Speaker, that any project coming to the community of Straszl that will benefit the community I will support. I never made a comparison to my incubator program versus the hotel. So I just want the member to get it right. Mr. Speaker, I recall he said I prefer warehouses. And I was more generous to him, I said factory shells, which suggests factory. He said warehouses to store things. But Mr. Speaker, let's move on, Mr. Speaker. Let's move on. I think, Mr. Speaker, the point I want to make is that maybe the opposition can reflect, Mr. Speaker, and recognize that you cannot disrespect St. Lucian's. You cannot say the things you said to them. You cannot treat them if this did. And it's a lesson for all of us in politics. And this Prime Minister keeps reminding us to stay grounded, to stay grounded, Mr. Speaker, because of the sensitivities of how you serve people, Mr. Speaker. So I want to say to him, Mr. Speaker, the only people who was in Trump are people like Mitch McDonnell and those people that defend the nonsense that Trump does. And he's very quickly falling into the trap of defending the indefensible of Alan Chastney, Mr. Speaker. And he better take note of it, because the next time, he probably won't be so lucky to keep the St. Joseph seat, Mr. Speaker. But, Mr. Speaker, this bill today is significant. And I think the Member for Cassius East highlighted how significant it is when he said he was a little unhappy having to come here today to present such a bill that imposes strict penalties on persons for having firearms. And, Mr. Speaker, if you sit back and you reflect on it, and you recall the Member from Duford South in a presentation to this House a couple of meetings ago, trace all that has been done over the years to try to stem crime in St. Lucia. And he reminded us, from 1997, Mr. Speaker, when he became Prime Minister, we had a situation where prisoners and police officers were using the same washrooms, same toilets. He reminded us of the state of police stations around the island and how many police stations were rehabilitated, were built under his administration. He reminded us of the amount that was done to equip the police. And I know first time I was involving Cricket World Cup, I knew the amount of equipment we gave to the police then. He reminded us. He reminded us, Mr. Speaker, of the laws and the changes, the new criminal code and all those pieces of legislation that were enacted all with the hope of stemming criminality in this country, Mr. Speaker, and promoting citizens' security. Yet we find ourselves where we are today. And it really raises the question, what can we really do, Mr. Speaker? And last time, in preparing to come here this morning, I went to read a document, Mr. Speaker, and it was quite instructive. And some of my colleagues here might remember it. In 1996-97, the then government, United Workers Party government, I don't think the member from Cassius North was yet Minister of Youth. A national task force on indiscipline was established in St. Lucia, chaired by the then PS education, Dr. 1987-88. Yeah, just become. And I beg him not to do it, Mr. Speaker, but that's another story. The PS of education then, I think, was Dr. Fedrick, and he chaired a national task force on indiscipline. And the National Youth Council made a presentation by Mario Michel, Mr. Speaker. On indiscipline in St. Lucia, you remember that member from Cassius North. And then Mario Michel predicted, he said he was looking at the society through an optimistic eye and through a pessimistic eye. And saying all the things we should do for our young people and the society for us not to reach a certain destination. And he said through his pessimistic eye, all the things, if we did not do it, where we would end up. And we've ended up very close to where he said we could end up, Mr. Speaker. Because there were certain fundamentals we felt then, as youth leaders, had to be put in place to make sure that degradation we were seeing in the society would not take place. And we failed our young people, Mr. Speaker. I was a youth leader then, but I can see now that I am part of the leadership of the country that we failed our young people, Mr. Speaker. But what is also ironic, in his critique, there was largely a blame on television. So those are the days when CNN and WGN and wrestling and all those things will be brought into St. Lucia. We call it a television of society. Little did he know there would be something even worse than that called social media, Mr. Speaker. And what it can do in terms of orienting your young people, what it would do to change in the values of our people, not just young. But he made a most telling statement that we were making in disciplines synonymous with young people. And he said that there was more in discipline at the other strata of society and not just the youth in St. Lucia. And if we make crime equal youth, we are doomed to fail. And we did that. We did that. And today we are where we are. But the St. Lucia Labour Party, when in government, has a long, long history of the number of social interventions that we have put in place, Mr. Speaker. And I can never forget how hurt I was when there were suggestions from the other side. Remember from St. Louis, who is not there yet, that if you introduce a step program, that is a backward step. Just think about that. At a time when so many people are unemployed, hustling and struggling to survive, and we thought we can put in place short-term employment programs to give them a little something, a little too largema, to just keep them going. We were condemned for doing this. We were told we were wasting resources. And up to the last government, where the member from St. Louis was, they were saying, this Labour Party has a habit of wasting money, giving away to people, creating mendicants. How can helping people who don't have and are crying out for need, Mr. Speaker? And if you provide the social intervention programs to help them, that's creating mendicants, Mr. Speaker. I don't know if any other parliamentarian will speak. I have had people come to tell me, I tell them, Bossman, I have to commit a crime today. I am nothing. Some of them might be exaggerating when they tell you that. But some of them come to you and they tell you that, Bossman, my children ate for two days yet. What do I go do? And you have to face that reality. You have to face that reality, Mr. Speaker. And I am not condoning anything that any of them would do. But the point I am making, Mr. Speaker, is as we pass this legislation and we need to pass it, we must never forget that we need equally to apply ourselves to the programs that will help alleviate the struggles and the sufferings of some of our marginalized and dispossessed people in the society. We cannot forget that, Mr. Speaker. So we must never encourage them and we must always support the criminal justice system that is effective and efficient. But we must never forget equally. We have a duty to intervene and to provide support for those who do not wish to go down that road but sometimes end up there. You heard the member of M.Castres that speak about it and he gave a very practical and those of us who know the streets will tell you it happens. People will pay young people in particular, vulnerable young people, small sums of money to transport items for them and they have nothing in their pocket and they believe that they can get away with it and they will take the chance and he said it, when you are arrested and you put in, it's not the boss man that's serving time with you and those messages must come across but we must also be there to give them the alternative, Mr. Speaker because I support this legislation wholeheartedly. I detest guns, Mr. Speaker, on the streets and what it can do, Mr. Speaker, I mean, I can take the names in the last five, six years as a parliamentarian of people who've died from gun violence from my constituency. I can tell you even before, I can tell you even closer to home so we must not, Mr. Speaker, object to the necessity of such legislation but I want to always appeal that we must equally be committed to providing the social intervention, Mr. Speaker, for those who may be in the vulnerable positions that we can deter them as well, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the member from Schroeseltz or Ultimus raised the issue of the board versus the singular commission of police and I ask you, Mr. Speaker, to just reflect on it, which would you rather approve a firearm license is so individual of five people, Mr. Speaker, as so individual, I mean, the claim is that some of the five might be influence but can the one not be influence? I mean, think about it, one person has the discretion whether to approve or not, he can be influence, he can be persuaded otherwise or to support it. Would you take your chances if one or with five making the right decision? Maybe one of the five might be influence but they still have four when the one, out of the one is influence what do you have as a check and balance? How could you ever prefer one person making a decision as against five qualified persons to make the decision? Explain that to me. But the same individuals will support a minister appointing boards and appointing other persons to other statutory agencies, Mr. Speaker and the inconsistency really exposes its nakedness, Mr. Speaker. So I don't see the logic. I don't, I would quicker accept you probably saying of the three persons to be appointed one should have a legal background, one should have a law enforcement background. If you had said so, I would say yes, you are strengthening what is there. But to say you rather one person make the decision and five persons, I cannot really see the logic in it, Mr. Speaker. And then the point is made about the tasers. The truth is, the tasers are already classified under other legislation. It is because some sees it when they get it and it's provided for and the other piece of legislation but I take it is a genuine attempt to get clarification and I think the leader, the prime minister will address that when he speaks. But tasers themselves are becoming of concern to us because I was surprised to learn when the Attorney General briefed us as to the prevalence of tasers you know in the society. For some people is a defensive weapon rather than an offensive weapon but the fact is it can be offensive, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I am particularly heartened to read of the penalties for assault weapons, Mr. Speaker. I believe, and I think a Calypsoian recently said it, that if your guns bigger than the police would off to Ukraine and that Rattata is not for the streets, these are instruments of war for the killing of people in numbers, Mr. Speaker. And I think the harshest penalty should be given to them, Mr. Speaker. So, I support this in particular, Mr. Speaker. They have no place for those automatic assault weapons in St. Lucia, Mr. Speaker. There's no place for it. So, you have my fullest support on those provisions. Again, I want to join the Prime Minister to say to our young people who have been exploited because they are in vulnerable situations to think over and over before they engage in any act that will bring them faulty before this legislation. So, Mr. Speaker, I rest my case and I support the legislation. A member for Dan Rene North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the amendment being proposed to the legislation before us. But like the presenters before me, Mr. Speaker, permit me to preface my very brief contribution with expressions of gratitude to, first of all, the leadership of the St. Lucia Labour Party for having placed their confidence in me as a candidate to contest the general elections of 2021. I also want to say thanks, Mr. Speaker, to the Prime Minister for placing his confidence in my ability to be a member of his cabinet and entrusting me with very important portfolios in the scheme of national development. And I also want to place on the record how grateful I am to the people of Dan Rene North, Mr. Speaker, who have gone to the polls on three different occasions to repose their confidence in my ability to be their parliamentary rep and to give expression to their concerns as beloved constituents. Mr. Speaker, I also want to thank my mother and my family. I want to thank my neighbours. I want to thank my constituency group in Dan Rene North for the support that they have given to me over the years. Mr. Speaker, today we celebrate one year in government after the last general election. And this, Mr. Speaker, is the most coveted, the most cherished, and arguably the most important for me. And you know why, Mr. Speaker? When I look back at the campaign that we ran in 2020-2021, Mr. Speaker, they onslaught the nastiness that was thrown in my direction, Mr. Speaker. And with the help of the people of Dan Rene North and my colleagues who were able to rise above that, Mr. Speaker. And for me to be able to stand here today and participate in the parliamentary discourse on behalf of the people of Dan Rene North, Mr. Speaker, I feel a sense of vindication. And so I must thank the people of Dan Rene North, Mr. Speaker. There was not much fanfare in our campaign, Mr. Speaker. We were guided by a very simple, unambiguous mantra, Mr. Speaker. Sean again. And, Mr. Speaker, and Mr. Speaker, I am extremely grateful, as I would have said, to be part of this cabinet. Mr. Speaker, I support the legislation as presented by the Prime Minister. Gun control, Mr. Speaker, has been a concept that has generated a lot of debate, not just in St. Lucia originally, but throughout the world. But today we focus on the situation as it affects our country. Mr. Speaker, every week, every month, we hear the horror stories, how firearms, illegal firearms, are being used in this country to unleash on people who otherwise, Mr. Speaker, cannot defend themselves. And in some cases, Mr. Speaker, those who probably have the capacity to defend themselves by the time the situation confronts them, it is already too late, Mr. Speaker, and funerals have been planned for them. Mr. Speaker, strengthening the legislation will not solve all the firearm problems and the crime situation we have in the country at the moment. But this represents a very significant step in ameliorating the situation in country today. And as a government, we will never cower, we will never, Mr. Speaker, move away from the reality and admit that there is a gun violence problem in this country. We are not the government to dig our heads like the outstreet in the sand and pretend everything is okay. Mr. Speaker, all of us on this side, we cringe, we hurt when we watch the news and we hear the horror stories, how young men in particular in this country are turning on each other with firearms that are not legal, Mr. Speaker, to solve their disputes. And as I said, strengthening the legislation on its own will not solve the problem, but it represents a significant step in ameliorating the situation. This has to be complimented, Mr. Speaker, by deliberate and targeted social interventions. Crime is a social construct. It is a mindset more often than not. And that is why, Mr. Speaker, when a St. Lucia Labor Party government can give expression and put on the front burner programs like Step and Smiles and people want to reduce that to interventions that are supposed to appease mendicants and poor people, Mr. Speaker. It is because they do not understand, Mr. Speaker, the extent to which, as simple as they may be, these programs go in trying to create an environment for people who otherwise, Mr. Speaker, cannot fend for themselves. And so, Mr. Speaker, I support the legislation as presented. The penalties for gun violence and possession have been made more stringent. And we are hoping, Mr. Speaker, that we'll serve as a deterrent to those individuals or the people in our society who believe, Mr. Speaker, they can disregard law and order, take matters into their hands and by so doing, they instill fear in the population and even further, Mr. Speaker, they do untold damage to the reputation of our country. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank you all. I would like to say that I support the 100th Prime Minister of Venezuela and good morning that we have made a law that has made it more difficult for the world to join forces and for us to be able to do that we have to serve for our country so much more and that we can serve for the people of Venezuela that we know, Mr. Speaker that we know, Mr. Speaker, that we have a very good position with the country that we cannot serve to those individuals who do not have the right to serve against the law that we have to help the country I would also like to say to Mr. Speaker that yes, I would like to thank you for giving us these jobs in place, but the law is not the one that makes it more difficult for the world to be able to do physical work. This is the only solution for the crime situation in the country. I would like to thank you for your social programs, but I would also like to thank you for giving us these jobs in place. So Mr. Speaker, with this very, very brief intervention, I want to pledge my support to the Firearms Amendment Bill and I'm hoping that the desired results and effects, Mr. Speaker, will be there for all of St. Lucia to benefit from, in particular the people of Denrinov and the young men in this society who have, Mr. Speaker, for a long time now been the subject of the violence, the perpetrators of the violence that we have seen as it relates to the illegal use of firearms in this country. This does not solve the problem in its entirety, but as I repeat, Mr. Speaker, it is a step in the right direction and it is only after we come together, government opposition, civil society organizations and all patriots of this country that we can have a constructive conversation to chat a way forward, to deal with acts of criminality in our society. Mr. Speaker, we are leaders, we were elected as leaders and we have to demonstrate leadership when our country calls us, Mr. Speaker, to stand up and support what is right and so, Mr. Speaker, I support the legislation as presented by the Honourable Prime Minister. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member for Meekwood South. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we too also have to recognize the first anniversary of the elections and recognize that one of the failings of our elections, Mr. Speaker, was the number of people that chose not to vote. In fact, 49% of the eligible voters in this country, Mr. Speaker, chose not to vote. And that's a sad indictment on all of us in this room. It's a sad indictment on both of our political parties in that we have to do things, Mr. Speaker, to continue to engage the confidence of the people and I'm really hoping that that's not lost on us and that we are all going to continue to make efforts. We're not perfect. None of us are. But the reality is we should all be striving for perfection. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to really say thank you to the former candidate, the former representative of Meekoo North. I also want to say thank you to the former Minister of Economic Development and the technocrats that participated in the construction of the Meekoo Health Facility. I had the opportunity yesterday, Mr. Speaker, of actually taking a site tour of the facility and it was very impressive. This was a facility that was done with World Bank monies and was built to the new standard of resilience. The generators, the solar panels, the refrigerators that were there was really incredible. And my belief is that the design was actually undertaken by a local design firm. I say so not only because of the country at large and also because of Meekoo North but I also say so really because of the people in my own constituency, Mr. Speaker. The reality is that we do have two very good health care facilities, one in Deroso and the other one in T-Rochet, which one of them, the one in Deroso, was actually modernized and made a smart facility. But the reality is the new facility in Meekoo offers services that were not available in the other two health centers. And I think it's part of the overall plan of strengthening our community health services. And I just really want to say congratulations. I want to thank the government for continuing that project and doing such a fantastic job of the opening ceremony and letting people know that it's open. I mean, one of the facilities, Mr. Speaker, and I'm really hoping that the government will help fulfill that dream is the one of dentistry. Right now my understanding is that it's only really equipped to do cleaning and I'm really hoping that that will be expanded to include x-rays and that we can start seeing some of the dentists that are in the city spending a little bit more time in the community areas to make it easier, particularly for the elderly people who would have to commute some long distances to be able to get those levels of services. There's a pharmacy there and then maybe I can share that with the minister of finance. It's something I kept on going around the minister. I don't know why we have to fight so hard for this. The implementation of credit card machines in these facilities. I just, I don't get it in government. I tried my best when I was minister of finance to continue to push to make sure that when we have these public facilities and we're going to be selling any services that it would be made easier for people to do so and I know it's always been a question of what the cost is but maybe that's something that can be, I'm not blaming your government for that but maybe it's something that we can continue to strive for because it certainly makes life much more convenient. I also want to celebrate because, you know, two nights ago we had the final of a major football tournament in Dersault and with the field that we had and also with the lights my colleague who contested against me in the constituency I know had some very nice words to say and I want to say thank you very much for the words that you did and I'm going to thank you for the contributions of some of the trophies and everything else that you did and it was great to see that number of people coming out to event during the weekend like that and the economic activity that that created and that's what again, you know, having lights I'm having these Aster Turf facilities I'm also very encouraged to hear, Mr. Speaker, that Blackheart is going to be doing some of its matches there and I'm hoping that both Dersault and Miku and hopefully very soon Soufraire will be more utilized in hosting these events so I'm very, very grateful for those things The Minister of Housing is here I certainly would like to encourage him that he made certain promises to Remember, Miku Souf, you will get to the building that we are debating, right? I will Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, for your latitude to help the persons in Dugard that he met with and I'm really hoping that he is going to facilitate them finding another piece of land and I also want to make a special appeal to him publicly, Mr. Speaker that before we left office that the Cabinet had approved the Ministry of Housing had approved and the Housing Development Board had also participated in the subdivision of the lands in Asia I believe we've gone as far to getting the approval on the prices and everything else and I'm hoping that he will find it to expedite that project I know that he knows the Miku area very, very well and how long the people in Asia have been waiting to rectify their land situation Okay, Mr. Speaker On the matter of the bill that we debate I want to say that I share my colleagues' comments that he put forward and I'm hoping that those are taken in the greatest amount of respect and earnest in that we in the opposition understand what our role is we understood our role from July 27th and we've never had any difficulties in accepting our role as an opposition and we put our minds and set our minds to doing the job of the opposition as well as we can and so we will find ourselves differing at times I'm hoping that government will see some of our points as being objective criticism in hopes that we can continue the same thing that you did when you were in opposition during our tenure and so we will continue to advocate and to participate in the parliamentary process in that good faith I noticed Mr. Speaker that many of the members really pointed out something that we had said from early with regards to this particular bill and I'm hoping that we take it in all sincerity the reality is is that we have had these laws what we're doing today is strengthening them i.e. the amount of time that people are going to go to jail or in fact the amount of the fines that we're going to have but the reality is Mr. Speaker we have been failing to get prosecutions and the question is is this going to change anything I mean I certainly know during my tenure in government recognizing and understanding the separation between the judiciary and ourselves it was very frustrating when you see people who are not even sometimes first time offenders but some people who are actually out on bail already for an offense who are then found with an illegal arm and are getting bail again and I have to say to you Mr. Speaker extremely frustrating for the police who go out of their way sometimes and do an investigation capture somebody and to see the judiciary system let them down that way so I think that this is a move in the right direction but I do believe there is a lot more work that has to be done in working with the magistrates with arms length away in making sure that they understand and appreciate the leniency sometimes that we're seeing the courts convey to people who have been brought in with illegal arms and I am for one who believes that a person certainly is innocent until you're proven guilty but the reality firearms are continuing and I've listened to all the contributions here today Mr. Speaker all of us have had the same problem in our constituencies young persons die because of gun violence and whether it's out of rage whether it's out of revenge whether it's out of something more conniving than that and it's not only the individual that has perished but it's also the parents or parents family members and certainly the fear that it instills in our own community and we're seeing right now in view for itself as an example Mr. Speaker where persons are actually voluntarily going home early because of fear so it's not just the immediate impact on the family but it's the continual impact and the degradation that it's creating within our own society both economically and socially so Mr. Speaker you know there's a saying that says and I love it action speaks louder than this so it's very difficult for me and I think for other people to accept that after one year that this is it and that there are certain actions that the government have taken in the last year then in many ways contradict and undermine what we're seeing here as being put forward as a good step moving forward the reality is that the canine dogs Mr. Speaker the fact is that when we were in government in 2006 to 2010 and there was an amnesty program and I think there was also one during your government's reign before 2006 and where persons were encouraged to bring their arms in and exchange for money and the reality is that many people brought their arms in and what did they do took the money to go and buy another gun because guns are readily available on the streets too readily available I know it's always going to be difficult to say complete elimination of arms but the statistics that I had access to were showing that in excess of 85% of the illegal arms coming into San Lucia are coming in containers and are coming in barrels so it's not even to say that they're sneaking them in the middle of the night to some secluded beach right underneath our nose as was being said by other persons in this great house Mr. Speaker was it the fact that the fact that we're seeing the need to solve crime that it's a holistic issue I keep saying for me my motivating factor in terms of being a lippness test in terms of what we were doing Mr. Speaker are we challenging our young people are we giving them a better option than what they seem to be choosing right now so the development of our sporting programs or after school programs the development of small businesses I know we're going to be discussing the youth economy bill but the reality is we need a holistic approach one of those things was border control I'm very happy to hear that the passport section of it is being introduced despite the long lines of the passport department this morning I certainly hope that that's not a sign of other things but Mr. Speaker your control is absolutely necessary the need to understand that customs has failed when it comes to the security of our borders they consider they continue to consider themselves as revenue generators that their job is to collect money our slasper board has not had enough returns to purchase the equipment that was necessary I'll give you an example Mr. Speaker at the fast ferry terminal when new scanners were put in within a week somebody had poured water on the scanners now that cannot be an accident Mr. Speaker during my tenure we brought in not the sophisticated scanners because those are very expensive but scanners for the barrels those too were damaged there's something wrong that the things that are right underneath our nose and when we talk about the member from Miku North talked about the courage and the bravery to do the things that are difficult it is an issue in this country we all have to accept that there's something wrong with our border control system that's allowing this number of guns to so easily penetrate and come into our country and the Prime Minister is 100% correct Mr. Speaker we don't make arms here we don't build arms here they're all imported and between Martinique and countries south of us it's so easy for people to come in to bring arms in so if we're legitimately going to see a more meaningful impact on helping young people there really is those after-school programs ways of getting them into enterprise in which they can make a meaningful income a reasonable way a meaningful income meaning that they can earn enough money to own a home to own a car to want to bring up their children that's the standard that we need to be striving for Mr. Speaker and as I said many times in opposition I welcome the government doing things that are better than what we did I'd be the first person to celebrate it because that's what we're supposed to do is to continue to encourage each other to do better but if the rhetoric becomes more about saying I did this and you didn't do this and it becomes more name calling then everybody loses Mr. Speaker so I want to say Mr. Speaker I really believe that we have to step in the right direction and like my other colleagues in the house that this is not going to be enough in itself I want to say to the government that I'm concerned for many of the citizens in this country because they too get to reflect on the first year and the question is are you better off today than you were a year ago and that's a big question and another member from Casteries Central but the reality is maybe there are people within his circle that maybe couldn't say that but I can say to you that that is not what the mass majority of people in this country are saying and there's a lot more work to be done and I'm sorry Mr. Speaker but trying to use the recession using inflation supply chain issues as the reason why you could not fulfill your obligations there's always going to be a crisis Mr. Speaker that's the nature of what being in government is and that's what's happening in the world things that we could not even imagine all of a sudden are being confronted with and that is the job of any government is to keep the goals that you promised of making and putting people first but the reality is I think that this government will soon find out in that in order to put people first you must put the country first the country must be on a strong footing with the resources to be able to deliver to the people of this country what they so richly deserve and the opposition will continue to support any position that shows improvement in a non bias way to the population of this country so Mr. Speaker I want to again reiterate the comments that my colleague made from Schwazel that there are some critical issues that if in fact the minister who made the promise of putting the chairman as the commissioner if he changes tomorrow does the new minister have the same obligation so I think if that was what the intent is I'm hoping that the government would see fit to make that amendment again Mr. Speaker thank you very much and I want to thank the people from Miku South for their continued support I want to thank the people for their continued support and everybody know that we do our job in opposition without any ranker without any animosity without any hatred but simply with the idea of continuing to put our constituents and the development of our countries as our priority Thank you Member of the Gastry Centre Thank you Mr. Can I borrow this? Are you going now? God bless my eyesight Thank you very much Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker I intend on taking a slightly different approach to my contribution to this debate today and to probably bring home concentration on social interventions and juxtapose it to the legislation as a multi-faceted approach to crime fighting Before doing so Mr. Speaker I noted some areas of concern by the member for Swazel Sultibus One was adequately answered by the member for Gastry's South When he asked why would you have a board approving a firearm Mr. Speaker the perception the likelihood of corruption when authority resides in one is tremendously depleted as it resides in many Then Mr. Speaker he spoke of someone someone who is in possession of a licensed firearm and through human error not the error of my 3-day visit was a blatant lie and through human error forgets to renew his license Mr. Speaker the member for Swazel must understand that the mischief the legislation is attempting to cure is the proliferation of unlicensed guns and not necessarily a licensed gun that has seen that has seen expiration of the license and that is exactly why the discretion is granted to an adjudicating officer the magistrate or judge a judge will not sentence any person whose license has run out for 2 days for 2 days to 10 years imprisonment or to find them $50,000 that I can tell you I can assure you will never happen because the Privy Council our most upper leg court will not permit it to happen so I felt Mr. Speaker I should just lay his fairs to rest Mr. Speaker as we observe our first year as a government we are having to deal with the enormous challenges we encountered but never envisage on assumption of office after all the liberation of the people of St. Lucia came exactly a year ago but it brought about with it Mr. Speaker unforeseen and unenviable and financial waters that would require a captain of immense economic skill to navigate the ineptitude and non-existent management skill of his predecessor in title has had no doubt to cause this other man to build inner strength resilience of immense proportions and he has fared extremely well you want his name it's no other than Philip Joseph Pierre I think it is the wrong place congratulations to you captain extraordinary I want to thank the people of Cassry Central who have on four occasions fitted fit to have me represent them in this August chamber Angel Cobb with team Charmaine Jenny and the team goes on and on to see Yasme and all the others who stood with me and rallied with me today is one year since we were liberated you see Mr. Speaker sometimes the little man on the street may not fully appreciate how government works government is not in the business of making profit government is run through the collection of revenue and there lays the fundamental difference between running a profit based business and running a government and I believe that's where the ex-prime minister field tremendously while citizens may have an expectation legitimate that is that government will discharge its social responsibilities such as providing education for our young ones fixing the roads providing healthcare and a host of other responsibilities but more appropriately in today's context given this bill equipping the police force with not only the necessary power but the tools and equipment to combat crime all of these Mr. Speaker place the coffers of government on the tremendous pressure government has to do this and government has to do that but if government has to do this and do that what can be done if government collects nothing you see if government does not collect government cannot deliver and that's why Mr. Speaker crime tackling must take a multifaceted approach it has to be taken from a social front as well as others to do so Mr. Speaker you must have in place social programs that assist in poverty alleviation as the saying goes an idle mind is a devil's workshop and oh how true that is Mr. Speaker because whilst we lamented the situation about crime what did the last government expect when they stopped the step program the step program Mr. Speaker that was essentially a map for the societal sideline and the indigent what did they expect Mr. Speaker when they stopped the laptop program and was asked in fact they asked us what did they expect it has since been reinstituted what did they expect Mr. Speaker when they stopped the distress fund a fund again to assist the poor the indigent and the dispossessed this government has reinstituted it Mr. Speaker what did they expect when they left the police without vehicles Mr. Speaker and I want to commend again the prime minister and minister of finance that in less than one year this police force has been Member for Switzerland you have a point of order Point of order Mr. Speaker to say that the past administration left the police force without vehicles you know that's not the case and your colleagues you can correct Mr. Speaker I don't know if the eloquence is too far fetched but I will break it down and say without adequate vehicles in working condition does my qualification suit your mental capacity my friend good so left the police without adequate vehicles in working condition and Mr. Speaker tell me if I'm wrong in less than one year this administration has given the police force over 20 brand new vehicles you care about the police you care about crime am I misleading definitely not over 20 vehicles Mr. Speaker in less than one year so Mr. Speaker when we talk about crime fighting we don't fight crime by just uttering words of encouragement or words of supposed wisdom some of the most stupid people you will ever find they will speak in terms that would captivate even the person that is the most difficult to embrace so so social programs which this government is heavy on must remain one of the facets one of the corridors of approach to this mammoth task Mr. Speaker but you see Mr. Speaker the social interventions that we have now rolled out require money they require money they need to be financed don't think the youth economy the bill that we shall soon be debating sprung from nowhere it did not it is a special program designed to put our young people on the right trap all in an effort to sweat them from the involvement in criminal activity millions Mr. Speaker have been allocated for that program the youth at risk program is another all of these Mr. Speaker quite apart from the bill today which is the intensification of the penalties quite apart from that the social interventions are necessary and we need money for them Mr. Speaker those programs must be funded and you know Mr. Speaker I want to say this I want to say this categorically member for Swazel and without an aorta of fear of contradiction that the last administration put this country in financial turbulence never let this up at work then the administration you you you financial turbulence Mr. Speaker not the blue wave the blue wave turned red Mr. Speaker quite apart from giving away hundreds of millions of dollars which we can now use to expand on social programs to deter crime the bad decisions made by the last administration Mr. Speaker you know what you normally hear on a death announcement too numerous to mention that is how bad it is Mr. Speaker I mean Mr. Speaker let's look at it if we could have recovered the monies to your king 120 million to bring horses on an air-conditioned jet and today we have to fight crime member for Swazel Mr. Speaker again the member is Mr. Lady in the House the member is indicating that the government paid monies to bring to you horses on a jet is that what the member is saying that the government paid it Mr. Speaker we cannot allow the member to be Mr. Speaker Mr. Speaker I am totally flabbergasted by that intrusion by the member from Swazel I'll tell you why the man signed the agreement he later said he did not know what was in the agreement but today he know about horses you signed the Tewa King Agreement with the Bible clause went on national TV and said that you signed it but you didn't even know it existed but Mr. Speaker let me proceed in peace so I was saying Mr. Speaker we need the social programs to be juxtaposed to those draconian measures we are now implementing but we need money for the implementation but we had an aircraft landing with police protection for horses air-conditioned aircraft woman all television stations are on horses on horses then Mr. Speaker the road 13 million the abattoir 24 million alternative land 11 million we now have to transport garbage everyday from view for to day glow $75,000 a month and then you'll have the audacity to talk about fighting crime acquired a hotel Mr. Speaker a hotel with registered debt of $50 million $135 million Caribbean jewels Caribbean Caribbean member for Suzel I was hoping that the members I was hoping that again you'd have come up with that Mr. Speaker because on three occasions he brought this up in his house Mr. Speaker and I would like once and for to put to the record Mr. Speaker the government they did it invests in Lucia through a receiver and the member knows what a receiver is when a receiver is appointed by a court and the investor and Lucia paid the receiver so it is a receiver's responsibility to settle any outstanding debts the government has no liability for the loan the government made arrangements with the receiver member you'll mislead the house let me you see Mr. Speaker sometimes when I don't go into the intricacies of a transaction I remember to be fair you have made a direct statement that the government acquired a hotel are you standing by that I'm standing by it Mr. Speaker with instructions from the then prime minister that invests in Lucia should the responsibility of payment to a receiver but it was cabinet's decision to acquire Mr. Speaker it was cabinet's decision to acquire and I I was referring to the process it is the same way Mr. Speaker the land that shocked the land that shocked by the roundabout was vested in a receiver it was vested in a receiver the last administration acquired it so excuse me you know and those are the kind of bad decisions that have us in the state we are today how on earth invest in Lucia St. Lucia institution establishment a hotel has been sitting there totally abandoned for a number of years and here come Tiputut and says look let's take it let's take it despite registered debt of 135 million dollars you know you know the land that the shock roundabout Mr. Speaker the land was in the hand of a receiver the same way it was acquired why and today we have to implement social programs we have to be begging for money you think we want to increase the penalties to such draconian levels we almost have no choice we have no choice you have depleted our resources and this was a crime an ex-minister of finance would have been sentenced to life imprisonment Mr. Speaker over 150 million dollars on a glorified car park that they call St. Jude notwithstanding we had one that was about 80% complete over 150 million and we discovered in a kind of surreptitious fashion a direct award of 70 million issued 11 days before election 11 days before election but guess what the peers there were smart enough to send it to the AG the peers said you see that one I'm not interfering AG I need your advice and so Mr. Speaker it remained in a bay and stand guard the people of this country were not deprived of another 70 million dollars you know and on top of all of that Mr. Speaker he squandered so much because you want the political political climate to suit you you reduce that from 15% to 12.5% and I could tell you this and I want to say it in both English and Korean Mr. Speaker that the reduction in that from 15% to 12.5% did not no solution felt any great reprieve from that reduction you go to the supermarket you'll pay more forlessness so Mr. Speaker that was a bad decision and that decision on its own Mr. Speaker is costing the country 270 million dollars for our five-year term money I know our prime minister can use to put our people first 270 million dollars that bad decision cost this country you know exactly so Mr. Speaker had the last minister of finance not interfere with the vat rate we would have had 270 million dollars more to spend in this term Mr. Speaker and let me just say this Mr. Speaker we need to fight crime we need to institute the social programs that require money and sadly when you are bringing up a child you may treat the child in such a way that the child feels that you're doing them cruelty but you have to put the child on the right track in that regard Mr. Speaker it's a tough decision it is my view my personal view that this country has to be placed back on the right track it is my view Mr. Speaker that at some point yes we are born on the right track but we have to correct some of the misdeeds the mistakes that the predecessor entitled the prime minister mean and I want to say this for you the prime minister we want to make money we have to pass the law we have to work with the police everything is good but it is for us to put the child on the right track in order to make the young people the young people we can't do that but to do that That was 15 percent the first minister I�� the first minister finalised the election he didn't listen to the somebody two person two point five percent no앉atiyo so let's make it the first party let's make it the first place we have to chase Morris That's the main thing And let me repeat, it's not the government's position. It's my personal view that that decision has to be revisited. We have to deliver for our people. So Mr. Speaker, I won't be too long again, five minutes. Let us now see that all social intervention programs are financed. In each and every society, there are a very small number of people, a small percentage who, despite whatever you put in place for them, believe that not pursuing crime, not pursuing a law abiding, is the way to go. The increased penalties, Mr. Speaker, are meant for the very few because by and large, we are a law abiding society. But when you tell me, despite our smallness and our huge homicide rate, ranking very high per capita, over 95% of the homicides are committed with guns. We have no choice but to deal with the situation head on. Our society, Mr. Speaker, must be returned to one where peace and tranquility prevail. But some people, like I said, just don't believe in it. And when you tell me, it is this person in one instance, Mr. Speaker, who has the recipient of 17 bullets, 17 bullets, if there is anything called overkill, that situation exemplifies it. And the new firearms art, Mr. Speaker, it establishes a board for assessing the approval of licenses. And of course, it will be chaired by the Commissioner. As it relates to ordinary weapons, Mr. Speaker, I suspect it is a recommendation I will make when we get to committee stage, Mr. Speaker. I don't think we'll need to send the ordinary weapons to indictment. In other words, if one commits an indictable offence like a murder robbery and with it comes a summary charge, then invariably both can be tried by the High Court. But, Mr. Speaker, we have to deal with those offenders with due dispatch, expedition beyond measure. We have to deal with them hurriedly. Quick, fast and in a hurry, as they say, colloquially. And so, the smaller weapons, Mr. Speaker, I support the 10-year imprisonment term and the $50,000 fine. Although, Mr. Speaker, I was feeling the pulse of the people earlier and one guy said to me, by the time you give a man 10 years for possession of a firearm, when he gets his discount, he only spends six years because he spends, he gets one-third off. So, basically, he was advising to even increase it. And, Mr. Speaker, the penalty has already been so draconian when you speak to the ordinary solution who could vent in that manner and support, Mr. Speaker, that kind of penalty, it speaks to the frustration of our people. But, you know, Mr. Speaker, I quite like the automatic weapons and the penalties. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that in committee stage, the minimum fine is supposed to be $200,000. $200,000 an imprisonment for 25 years to life. And I believe, Mr. Speaker, those kinds of deterring sentences must be on the books to ensure that we as a government do whatever we can do within the limits of our authority to ensure that we return this country to a state of community. So, Mr. Speaker, our government is attacking crime in a multifaceted way. Why it will cause the social interventions to unfold? Why it will cause the police to be equipped with both human resources, tools, vehicles, etc.? We are obligated to send a strong signal to the very few who believe they can indulge despite our best efforts. And with that, Mr. Speaker, I rest my case supporting the amendments wholeheartedly. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The member for Danry South. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill being debated in the House today. Mr. Speaker, this crime situation is becoming a very serious problem in St. Lucia. And I'm happy to stand there to be part of this debate and to really offer the support to this government in terms of attempting to address this problem. Mr. Speaker, a long time ago, I remember hearing of a gun incident in Castries or in Viewfort. But Mr. Speaker, today, we hear it in the North, in the South, in the West, in the East, Mr. Speaker. And Mr. Speaker, I'm sure you'll recall in the last few months in Danry South, we lost a number of young people as a result of gun violence. But Mr. Speaker, before I do that, I go further. I want to thank the people of Danry, Rakai and Lime for placing their confidence in me to serve them as the parliamentary rep. I want to say a big thank you to them, Mr. Speaker. And to say a big thank you to my ministry staff, Mr. Speaker, for the support they have given me, especially celebrating this one-year anniversary, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this crime situation must be dealt with, Mr. Speaker, because it is creating a fair amount of populace, Mr. Speaker. Our business people are worried, they are fearful, Mr. Speaker, because their businesses are not doing very well because of the crime issue. And it is a matter that we must deal with as a government. And I heard all the speakers before me say it's a part of a strategy, Mr. Speaker. This debate today will not solve the issue of crime in St. Lucia, but it is part of a strategy. Our government was voted in on the 26th of July last year. And it was because the people had very little or no confidence in the previous government to tackle the crime issue as it should. And so, Mr. Speaker, the onus is on this government to make it happen. But Mr. Speaker, I will not be long, because I know there are other speakers to speak after. But I want to send a message to our young people. And Mr. Speaker, it's really simple. Too often, Mr. Speaker, our young people are gunned down at an early age in this country. Too often, we see images of what we all describe as senseless skillings on social media, in the press and on the news broadcast. Mr. Speaker, I would like to appeal to our young people that they should stay away from guns. Please put down the weapons, treat each order with love and respect. I urge our young people that they should play their part in preserving their lives. We need to sustain every human resource we have on this island. The next life you take could have been the world's next scientist, Nobel Prize winner or champion. We never know. Mr. Speaker, I am also calling on parents, civil society and the churches to embrace our young people. Let us help them resolve conflicts amicably. Let us reposition the thinking, Mr. Speaker, that the gun is not the answer. Mr. Speaker, it is my hope and prayer that this fire arm legislation will be the catalyst that eliminates gun violence on our island once and for all. And Mr. Speaker, in closing, I stand in support of this fire arm legislation. I thank you. Mr. Speaker, in this honorable house on this historic day, today, the 26th of July, 2022, marks one year since this government was elected to office. Permit me, Mr. Speaker, give me leave, let me thank the persons and the residents and voters in Babolo who place their confidence in me. And I know that right now we have 18 development committees throughout Babolo. And we start from Deborah, down to Gara, Bogis, Monsito, Lager, Plateau, Pebush, Lacquer, Babolo Central, Tishime, Fawasaw, Tetsime, Talvan, Kakojua, Kabish, Balata, Timon and Union Terrace. Mr. Speaker, when all Mr. Speaker, that the Fawasaw fortress came out in the rescue of your humble servant and my opponent, the Fawasaw garrison, before the Fawasaw garrison had struck the final blow of 579 votes were still outstanding, I will continue to do that. I want for having reposed confidence in me to work in his cabinet, I want to thank the members of the St. Lucia Labour Party for giving me support. At this point, Mr. Speaker, after one year, I want to thank the Ministry of the Public Service, Home Affairs, Labour and Gender Affairs. Mr. Speaker, my driver always asked me, Madam Minister, you do not like sunset. And when he asked me that is because I hardly live my office before sunset, because I'm determined to serve the people of St. Lucia. Mr. Speaker, speak to the Bill and Title Firearms Amendment, which is one of the strategies this government is implementing to ensure that St. Lucia's and visitors are safe and secure. Mr. Speaker, when I hear of firearms, many things cross my mind. The big question is, how did we get there? Mr. Speaker told about the number of persons who have become victims of gun violence in our country. It's like we have opened a butcher shop in St. Lucia. Mr. Speaker, this government will not allow this to continue. Mr. Speaker, there is a June 27, 2022 report written by one, do we then held in an article entitled, murder rates in the Caribbean, where he cited the number of murders in St. Lucia, giving us a 40 per capita rate in 2021, Mr. Speaker, which is extremely high. St. Lucia in that year fell among the top five countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with the highest murder rate. Mr. Speaker, we cannot do the cries of our people calling on this government to do something. The police and home affairs have been calling for stronger legislation to allow them to carry out their work in combating crime. Combating crime is a very complex issue and this government will do whatever is within its power to control crime, to reduce crime and to make St. Lucia a safe environment for all of us, all of us to live in. Mr. Speaker, we need to help our people in St. Lucia to manage and resolve conflicts among themselves. We cannot allow our people to be murdered or to murder each other on a regular basis like this. This government cares about its people and therefore we need to do what the people have asked of us to give them the best quality representation. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Home Affairs set out to work immediately on a swimming office and the Prime Minister under his watch asked that we form a unit called Youth at Risk and Mr. Speaker, this gun violence that we are talking about and the new inmates that are admitted at Baudelaire, they are primarily young persons. We cannot allow talented, intelligent, productive persons in our country to go to their graves at such a tender age and therefore we have to work harder, Mr. Speaker, for us to rescue the next generation. As you know, Mr. Speaker, we've spoken in this House and the last administration put zero budget, zero in the budget for training and yet we say our officers are not doing what they are supposed to do. This government has put in money there to train our officers so that they can do their work better. Today, as we speak, Mr. Speaker, we have started training of police officers on how to handle domestic violence. It's starting today, a three-day training. When we look at the situation of Baudelaire Correctional Facility, we have the fire service, we have immigration, we have the marine units, we have these officers are responsible in one way or the other to ensure that this country is safe and they need training, they need support for them to carry out their duties. Mr. Speaker, we need to ensure that the persons who are working to keep us safe have a good working environment for them too and therefore in looking at the conditions of service for our officers, recently we saw promotion of police officers. That is human resource capacity, incentives and motivation for them to continue to perform their duties. We have mentioned in this House the equipment that we have to give our officers to carry out their work and we spoke of the vehicles. Mr. Speaker, in my report card, I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, I have visited 10 police stations around the island and I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, I'm fully aware of the conditions in which our officers work and I have reported to the Prime Minister and he has given the nod that he is going to address the concerns. Mr. Speaker, at Borderlay, when we talk about fighting crime, we are looking at all the different units that are together fighting crime. And the Borderlay Correctional Facility, as we speak now, Mr. Speaker, this government has put in the resources to secure the place, to undergo repairs at Borderlay. And we have just completed a comprehensive review of the Borderlay Correctional Facility. And the Prime Minister has been waiting patiently for this report and this will set the way forward on how we address the situation at Borderlay. Mr. Speaker, this government has put in allocation and we are talking about gun violence, we are talking about imprisonment, we are talking about fine, but there is another cost to this government. When we send them to prison, we still have to feed them. We still have to maintain them. We still have to get money, the same money that was laundered in the last five years. We cannot continue on the same path. The monies were thrown behind boats while some were flying in the air, like the Amazona versicola, Mr. Speaker, now we have to make water come out of rocks for us to serve the people in St. Lucia, Mr. Speaker. But this government is committed to serving the people and we will do it and we have started and after one year when you look back, you are seeing St. Lucia's nose is already above water because we are way down in the ocean. We are coming up, Mr. Speaker. We look at the fire service, this is another security area. This government, upon assuming office, recruited 49 officers, persons that you have to get a new budget to pay their salary. Mr. Speaker, so far I have visited eight fire stations around the island. When we talk about security, we are talking about protection of the people. We saw how the fire officers came out during COVID and saved lives. We are trying to save lives while persons want to get illegal fire arms to destroy others. Mr. Speaker, emigration is another area we have to secure our people. I visited the immigration department. Right now we have challenges in terms of the facility and we have to find a way to improve it or to relocate them. You heard the launching of the border control, criminals come into this country and they go out and we do not have the security measures to assess that, that this government is putting in place to ensure that this is completed. On Monday yesterday, we launched the E-Passport. The E-Passport is another area where we secure our borders to keep our country safe. Because when we talk about gun violence, we talk about crime. We have to ensure that the criminals are caught and we do not allow our borders to be opened so that they can escape. We cannot allow criminals to come in, commit their crime and then leave. So all these areas have to be under control, Mr. Speaker. So it is not just about the legislation, but it is about application and implementation so that we get the desired results. Because sometimes we have laws on our books, but if these laws are not enforced, we do not have the resources to enforce the laws, then they become an exercise in futility. And for this, Mr. Speaker, I can tell you the Domestic Violence Bill is one that was brought to this house and so far it has set St. Glutia on course. The Fire Arms Amendment Bill today is another bill that's coming in to secure our people. Mr. Speaker, we cannot allow our beautiful island to become a war zone. The Calypsoanian already said those who want to fight war should go, Mr. Minister of Creative Industries. Where do we send them? Off to Ukraine. So we do not have a war zone in St. Glutia. We want to create a safe environment for all of us sitting in this house, those outside, those in the communities. We want to keep all St. Glutia safe. And when we talk about safety, sometimes we look at others. We do not look at ourselves. We have to keep each and everyone safe. Even those who did not use the money, we have to keep them safe so that the next bill you come with, the next bill on this agenda that deals with the special prosecutor, we will let him handle that aspect of it. So Mr. Speaker, I want to say that we cannot sit by and allow innocent people to be slain or slaughtered. Our people should have possession of guns that are within the laws of this country. Our citizens should use guns for protection and it should be used for reasonable causes that are absolutely necessary. Mr. Speaker, the Fire Arm Amendment Bill is necessary to reassure the people that this government under the leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister cares about them and we are putting them first. And some people, they take this phrase for granted and they say, oh, you are putting them first. I say we did not say who because we will not put the criminals first. We will put our people who are contributing to national development first. So we are committed to putting our people first to ensure that we have a safe and secure environment. We have to be proactive. Mr. Speaker, the bill speaks to possession of illegal firearms and trafficking of firearms. When I entered in this ministry, I got on the desk, the police have been complaining that they do not know how to handle trafficking of firearms because the legislation was inadequate. I am very pleased that this legislation will address that, Mr. Speaker. The penalty is increased and the legal and law enforcement officers have to be very vigilant to ensure that the legislation is implemented according to its stipulations. Mr. Speaker, bills like the Fire Arm Amendment Bill is expected to act as a deterrent to persons who may be tempted to acquire illegal firearms. And Mr. Speaker, this firearm that some people began panicking and there is a gentleman who approached me and he told me he thinks he is going to buy an illegal firearm. I said, well, if you do it, you will be at odds with the law and I will not be able to help you. He said, but I want to protect myself, but I said, no, you still have to have a legal firearm. I am not afford to have an illegal firearm. Mr. Speaker, there are many persons who are engaged in using illegal firearms and among them are our young persons. Mr. Speaker, COVID-19 did not help our cause. Our young people were left idle for a long time and the hardcore criminals decided that they are going to recruit them. I gave them my little money and let them use the firearms. We have to pull these children back. Some of them drop out of school. We have to find these children. And I hold a lot of the parents responsible because these children sleep in a home. They have parents and they must take charge of the children. Mr. Speaker, we have a common understanding that a gun is a dangerous weapon and has the potential to destroy someone's life. For this reason, Mr. Speaker, we should ensure that we tighten measures to restrict any forms of illegal firearm in this country of ours, our beautiful Helen of the West. Mr. Speaker, this bill is designed to manage and improve the process through which persons would be able to obtain firearms legally and to help them to act responsibly. And this is why there is a board so you have greater transparency in the process. It is not a one woman or one man show. So people have been letting me know that they have applied for firearms for years. But they never got any acknowledgement of the application. Nobody told them why they cannot get it. So let us put some level of transparency in the process so people understand that it is done and not at the will and fancy of just one person who may decide you get it or you do not get it. And I believe I support this board that will allow greater access and persons who want to apply for firearms, once they meet the requirement, there is no objection to that. Because there are people with firearms in St. Louis and they are legal. And this bill is not challenging that, it's the illegal ones and those who use it to do the things that are wrong. The law covers that. Mr. Speaker, I lend my support to this firearms amendment bill to give the citizens a greater sense of security and safety as they move around their daily activities. Mr. Speaker, I thank you. The member of the guys trees north. Mr. Speaker, at this time last year, the 26th of July, the writing was on the wall. The writing was on the wall because obviously it was a bloodbath. By this time, the people had spoken. And while I stand this afternoon to speak on the firearms amendment bill, I believe it is appropriate that we reflect on the actions of the people of this country. Who, last year, said enough was enough and felt that there was a need to make some bold moves, take some bold decisions and to put this country on a path of prosperity, tranquility and honest leadership. The red brigade for bread, freedom and justice, under the command of the five-star general, General Philip J. Pierre, led his St. Lucia Labour Party to a resounding victory a year ago. I take this opportunity as the leader of the blue wave. Who saw the need to transform what had taken root in this country into a positive direction? I take this opportunity to congratulate General Philip J. Pierre and his team of victorious members of the St. Lucia Labour Party. Mr. Speaker, but it didn't end here, it didn't end here. There were those who understood that on the 8th of June when I made my move and explained my move and said that I have served you well under one banner, my term has come to an end and I believe I must now present myself on the platform of independence, like the member for country central, those who were yellow and felt the mood and had the conviction joined me. Those who believed in me over the years continued with me and those who from the other side, the Labour Party came forward and said brother, we are here with you collectively, unitedly, we are going to fight them and together we shall be victorious. I take this opportunity Mr. Speaker to congratulate all those who gave me yet another opportunity for the 6th time to represent them in this parliament among a number of individuals, a team of individuals who have demonstrated tranquility, compassion, understanding, transparency and accountability with a zero tolerance on corruption where I feel comfortable in, I thank them for having joined me and made me the success that I am today to represent them yet another time. I want to thank them Mr. Speaker because year after year they gave me the benefit of the doubt, they gave me the support and they continue to say move on, march on and represent us in this parliament. I want to thank all of the constituents of Cassry's North. I will not venture to mention names individually but I thank particularly my family, my wife, my constituency branch who have been there with me, the Cassry's North, St. Lucia Labour Party branch who has stood with me in this last election and others throughout the constituency who have created this wave, this movement and who will continue to ensure that St. Lucia repriserves the administration and bring the level of stability that is required in this country. Now Mr. Speaker, I am here today to support the FIAM's amendment bill which I believe is necessary. It is necessary because of where we are now in this country. It is necessary because of the spiraling violence within our St. Lucia community. Not for the first time but definitely this time there must be an end to it and we must be bold. And so Mr. Speaker, I would like to make three statements. One, those patriotic St. Lucia's working on the front lines of our justice system deserve all the help they can get from this government and the people of St. Lucia. Two, no citizen is immune to crime as we have all experienced the situation. And three, as a society, if we collectively do not put all our shoulders to the wheel to tackle crime of every dimension, our society will be in for the worse. Mr. Speaker, crime in our small island has been on the upward trajectory for some time now and certain categories, including gun violence, are on the rise. That leaves us, Mr. Speaker, to conclude that the several measures that we have taken in the past, past administration after administration, in an attempt to curb crime have been inadequate or perhaps those measures have received less than optimal implementation. This brings me, Mr. Speaker, to the point that when we pass legislation, we should not only simply pass legislation, but we must create the environment, the infrastructure and the institutions with the power to be able to ensure legislation is effective. And so, Mr. Speaker, while this amendment is a bold, strong and commendable measure, we all know that no single measure implemented or instituted on its own will cause any significant dent in our efforts to reduce crime. We must tackle the problem head on and in a holistic manner, this goes out without saying. And so while today we are here to amend the existing legislation, Mr. Speaker, I know this is only part of a broader spectrum of things to come. Stopwithstanding the need for a holistic approach, the need, these, this measure before us today is a critical cog in that wheel of justice that I am hoping will send a strong message, a strong signal to indicate that we as a government are taking an important step in our crime-fighting efforts to safeguard the people of this country. Mr. Speaker, gun violence statistics over the years have grown exponentially and our citizens are clearly at the end of the tether. Their fears are on the spiral once again and they are looking to this government of hope to bring peace, harmony and tranquility to our land. Mr. Speaker, consequently, we need to get a grip on gun violence, to begin with and to mitigate and derail the carnage in our once peaceful hailing of the West. You heard some of the members, Mr. Speaker, who can attest to individuals close to them, family and friends who have succumbed to gun violence. And you have heard, Mr. Speaker, the plea for strong legislation, for strong programs to deal with the current situation in the land. Our strategic imperatives, Mr. Speaker, must include a curtailment of the proliferation of guns in our country. Mr. Speaker, too many guns are in the hands of the wrong persons and the legislation that we seek to amend to strengthen in this August chamber today will go a long way if it is enforced by the agencies relevant to enforcement. Mr. Speaker, we must never relent on our crime-fighting efforts and strategies for the very success of this government and for this matter any other government will hinge on how well we can protect the constitutional right to provide security for our citizens and those who choose to visit us as a destination. Mr. Speaker, it is imperative that we protect, secure and ensure that our country is safe for our people, our visitors and our friends. Mr. Speaker, let me digress a bit to say that Japan, a country of over 260 million people, have fewer than 10 gun-related murders a year, fewer than 10 gun-related murders a year. Our next-door neighbor, if I'm right, Grenada, this year, a few weeks ago, recorded their fourth gun-related murder and were screaming for reform and the need to address the situation in that country. The efforts in Japan, Mr. Speaker, at limited gun violence have been undergirded by the implementation of gun control imperatives, gun control. Mr. Speaker, let me also profit the opportunity, while I speak of Japan, to express my deepest sympathy to families, friends and the people of Japan for the brutal and cowardly murder of the former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, which occurred a few weeks ago. Japan is a great friend of St. Lucia, as they continue to contribute to our social and economic development. In fact, the new bridge being built in Kaldissa is a gift from the government and people of Japan. One which was granted, agreed to, approved in 2015, and the march continued since then, and today we are at the stage when we are about to complete it. We convey our sentiments to the people of Japan. Mr. Speaker, if all of us agree that gun violence levels are unacceptable, then this parliament must do something very tangible about it. Break down the partisan walls, break down our egos, and let us work together. There must be no halfway measures. Whatever we do now or in the future must stand the test of time, and the only way we can stand the test of time in this parliament by moving legislations, moving programs and approving programs, and being strong enough is that as we as parliament to stand together and find the common enemy that of violence, particularly enabled by guns. Mr. Speaker, violence is a symptom of social harms which include substance abuse, adverse childhood experiences, and trauma and poor mental health. These Mr. Speaker cannot be forgotten while we take the hard measures, while we attempt to intercept and mitigate and to deal with the criminal ones. We must begin to do the necessary transformation for the future to change the mindset of our society and to make our young people more responsible and certainly to be more peaceful. Mr. Speaker, in any planning environment, we must give a serious consideration to the causes of deviant behavior in our society. A well-defined problem will always lead to adequate policy formulation, and this is where we should begin as we look to the future, but at the same time indeed deal with the current problem that we have at our doorsteps now. Mr. Speaker, there are some measures many of the view can contribute to positive outcomes. There are those and there are many who feel that we must introduce such programs as civics to all schools within our primary school system, and there are many people in society of my age who believe that we must reintroduce programs of civics in the schools. There are some who believe that victims of crime must have access to emotional support services, while there are others who believe that we must institute tougher penalties and custody. Mr. Speaker, all of these are necessary in a holistic approach to crime, dealing with crime. There are also, Mr. Speaker, those who say we must increase the use of stop and search by law enforcement agencies, and not occasionally to stop and search, but to relentlessly stop and search to ensure that the culture is to make sure that persons are deterred from having firearms and other weapons in their possession. We believe that we must seek improvements to our justice system, tougher sentencing, and this is what we have sought to achieve with the introduction of this amendment bill. This amendment bill is about tougher sentencing to ensure that there is a deterrent. The use of scanners, Mr. Speaker, at our main ports of entry is necessary because we are very well aware that many of the arms which come into our country are coming in into various forms, various containers and barrels in containers, etc. dismantled or in whole are entering our country, and because of the absence of proper equipment to be able to detect, they are able to evade the law enforcement agencies. Partnering with other neighbouring territories, Mr. Speaker, for the use of radar systems to monitor our coastal waters is imperative. And some years ago, when I was Prime Minister, we received assistance from the Israeli government through Trinidad and Tobago, who installed two radar systems, one at Mullah Sheikh in VfO, and the other at Viji. I'm not too sure what's the state of those, but the intention was to be able to monitor the movement along our coastal waters. Mr. Speaker, I am particularly keen on the introduction of civics in all our primary schools. Over the years, in the absence of such classes or a posity of these classes, we have sat idly by and watched the moral fabric of our society being shredded to tatters. It is time to do something about it, Mr. Speaker, and this government has the moral and political authority to take the action now and get it done. I know, Mr. Speaker, you can recall the days when civics now renamed education for democratic citizenship was on the core curriculum in Form I and II at St. Mary's College and other educational institutions in this country. And I know, Mr. Speaker, this has in a big way shaped you into the individual you are to be. I hope this is not too much credit to you, Mr. Speaker. I think we need to expand this to all our schools at an early age. And if we can do this, we would have laid the foundation for a more civilized society. In short, Mr. Speaker, we need to focus on early interventions, but we must also adopt a zero tolerance to all forms of deviant and criminal behavior. Mr. Speaker, where there are violations to our laws, there must be quick access to our courts. Justice must be swift and custodial sentencing must give offenders the opportunities and tools to facilitate reintegration to society. Mr. Speaker, the more we provide support services to persons with convictions, the more we can reduce reoffending or recidivism. Mr. Speaker, as I have enunciated earlier, this bill is only one cog in a holistic approach that this government will implement as we seek to stem the tide of gun violence. And we, as members of this administration, stand together, red or blue, stand together in unison, in unity, together to fight the challenges ahead of us. It is in this right, Mr. Speaker, that I throw my unwavering support to this FIAM's amendment bill before us today. I want to congratulate Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister, for being bold, for being transparent and to come here strong to present this bill to demonstrate that we are prepared to take action and deal with the current situation of violence in our country. I thank you. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank members for their support, Mr. Speaker, for this amendment. This, obviously, is a very bold undertaking. I want to assure the minister, the member of Ashuazel, that the amendment for the Commission of Police being Chairman of the Board will be instituted in the bill itself. So it will be there. We will call for an amendment, Mr. Speaker, so that the Board will be chaired by the Commission of Police. Mr. Speaker, the member of Ashuazel, speaking on the composition of the Board, made a good point. How can one man be more transparent than five people? But, Mr. Speaker, we come here sometimes and we sell ourselves short and instead of politicians are their worst enemies. The minister, the member of Ashuazel stands in this parliament and says that the Cabinet with the effect may not have the, I don't use it with integrity, to choose three members to put on a board because, and we cannot do that, we should not do that, Mr. Speaker. It doesn't even have faith in a Cabinet of Ministers that are elected by the people of this country. And we must stop doing that, Mr. Speaker, we must stop. Because when we continue to do that, we always sell ourselves short. Right now, the power is in the hands of one individual and you're comfortable with it, one individual to give fire licenses. You've been told that throughout the region, I know for Saint Vincent, for sure, I know it has just changed in Trinidad for reasons which I will not see here and it has changed. But you, just to score political points, makes the point that we are doing something wrong in Saint Lucia. Mr. Speaker, the member for Miku couldn't help himself. Even in terms of speaking about firearms, he wants to juxtaposition it with the economy. But you know, I'm not going to that conversation, I'm not in the mood for that today. Today is a day when I want to celebrate and to thank God and the people of Saint Lucia for their wondrous moses, so I will not go into that debate today, Mr. Speaker. I won't go into it because when you want to compare now, the times we live in now, where everybody, everyone, every government, for the first time, all governments are feeling something that they almost have no control over. You want to say that you want to blame somebody for that or blame this government for that plight. That's even not doing anything for people. Just today, you said you would never be able to give it. We gave pensioners a one-off payment of $500. The NIC, as part of a holistic change, will give, will increase pensions, Mr. Speaker. We are increasing school support to people, to children. We gave the one laptop computer to every child. You're saying that we didn't do that for people? I mean, I won't get involved in that today. Not today. Try again. You can't, you're not going to take me down that track. Not today. Not today. Because I know you're very happy to be here because you don't come. You know what your party does if you need or comes. Not today. Not today. Not today. Not today. So we're not going there today. So today, let us bring the thing to a, let's bring the thing to a level and let's behave and don't to go there because, you know, anytime you open that door, when you open that door, you make me walk in and you make everybody else walk in. So don't do it. Today, relax. We've been very, we can have, we'll have a drink of wine downstairs on your feet and our victory. And we're going to be good. Okay. So let's, so thank you very much for, for, thank you very much for our, for their support. And Mr. Speaker, I want to tell you that based on what the member of Akashi Central says, we are going to be amending the 10 year, 10 year provision to 15 years so that we can make sure that the punishment is, because we are told that a third, you lose a third. Anytime you go, there's a custodian sentence put in you, a third is taken off immediately. So 10 years taken a free, we mean six years. And then you can, so you want to make it policy declare that we are, this government is serious about gun crimes. So everywhere there's 10 years, we're going to put 15. So when you take out a suit, the client, the person will at least serve a sufficient time for the offense. And again, I'd like to ask the GIS and the press, the GIS and the press always, let somebody take it as a public service announcement to warn the young people in Sena Lucia to warn them that this is serious, this is serious, Mr. Speaker, and in terms of the judicial process, you will know that we have a swift justice program where we are increasing the capacity of the courts in terms of dealing with criminal cases. And that is why we're going to embark on the construction of the halls of justice to ensure that we have the physical space to deal with these cases. And this is why, and I think the members, the members of the Mikus for Castries, so if we make the point that our, our history on support for the police and our fight against crime is clear. We have nothing to be ashamed of. We were the ones who built the most police stations in Sena Lucia to date. And that is a fact. And we are the ones who are going to build the division headquarters in Grozile for the police. So we're not, we're not ashamed, and nothing to be ashamed about our fight. Remember when we built the bodily correctional center, we were laughed at. We said, they told us we were being a five-star hotel. Remember that? We don't want to deal with it. And chewing the fist, because we said that prison should be a place of rehabilitation. This is why we built the bodily, and again we were told we were building a five-star hotel and we were wasting money. I remember somebody on the radio every morning as usual, blah, blah, blah, blah. As usual. And these days, the, that noise happens in the morning and midday. And then that's all the point. So a Mrs. Speaker, also our history on fighting crime is clear. How do you find, we were the ones who started the, we were the ones who employed more policemen than any other government at one time. If we employed more, more policemen, our crime, our crime, we have nothing to be ashamed of. We have, we are not defensive when it comes to our fight against crime, but we temper that with social programs. And I recall, the STEP program, the STEP program, we were criticized for the STEP program. Somebody even said, and you know, today's not a day for that. Then when we initiated the STEP program, there was an ad that said that we were allowing people to work and we give them no toilet facilities. And I'm saying it in a very nice way. That was not how it was said, Mrs. Speaker. Very indelicate, you see. You know, we are saying that we're giving, we're raising money on them people for our social programs. Remember that? When this Labour Party decided that we would have ensured that there was education, there was secondary education for every child by building the five secondary schools and ensuring that there was universal secondary education, we were told that we're mixing children from everywhere, we were told we're getting involved in affirmative action when we found it necessary to upgrade the quality of life of people of lower income, Mrs. Speaker. We were the ones who did that. So we're not shy and we can stand and defend our programs. We can defend our history on crime-fighting and social enhancement and upliftment in solution without fear or favour. Mrs. Speaker, I thank you and thank members for the contributions to the Firearms Amendment Bill. Thank you, Mrs. Speaker. Honourable members, the question is that the Firearms Amendment Bill be read a second time. And I'll put the question, as many as of that opinion say aye, as many who have a country opinion say no, I think the ayes have it, the ayes have it. An act to amend the Firearms Act, cap 14.12. Clause 2. Interpretation. Clause 2 stands part of the bill. Clause 3. Amendment of Section 2. Clause 3 stands part of the bill. Which part is that? Well, let's put it this way, I heard what the PM said, but if I call Clause 2 and nobody asked for an amendment, then we have to move on. Clause 2. Interpretation. Clause 2. Interpretation. Clause 3. We said Clause 3. Clause 3. Interpretation. 3. Clause 3. We had already done Clause 2. Amendment is Clause 5. Clause 5. Amendment is Clause 5. Okay. Clause 4. Deletion of Section 3. Clause 4 stands part of the bill. Clause 5. Clause 5 here. I'm putting it in on Clause 5. Clause 5. I need to speak of Section 2C, designation of chairperson. 2C. 2C. Yes. The minister shall designate the commission of police as chairperson of the board. We all got that proposed amendment. Yes. The minister shall designate the commissioner of police as the chairperson of the board. Mr. Chairman, I'm just wondering whether, if the legacies of the board, If the legislation just says, The commissioner shall be the chairman. Simpler. Yes. It's a simpler... Yes. Simpler we do put it and it does not confute a discretion on the minister. So we shall just have the commissioner shall be chairman of the board. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Go. Just a minute. So the commissioner of police shall be a chair. Is the commissioner. Is. Is the commissioner. Is. Okay. Rather than shall be, is the chair. Yes. Okay. The proposed amendment is the commissioner of police is the chairperson. No. Is. Is. Is. Just the same is. Pardon? Commissioner of police is the chairperson. Is the chairperson. Is. The jafter saying is. The jafter saying is. Is. Is. Is. Is the chairperson. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is.

Nanami is an incredibly popular character from the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, known as the Nine-Five Sorcerer. He fights with a cloth-wrapped cleaver because of the way his powers work that I don't have time to go into because they aren't incredibly confusing to me. With Nanami's recent return to the anime in the Shibuya arc, I figured that some people out there might want to know how to make their own Nanami cleaver if they're going to cosplay him or just because they think it might be fun. This is how I made Nanami's cleaver. Please note that I do not live in Alaska, this was just filmed last winter. To make this cleaver I used plexiglass, 3-inch PVC pipe to make the handle scales, cloth to wrap the blade in, and leather to wrap the handle in. And the tools that I used to make this were a band saw, an angle grinder, a belt sander, a heat gun, a drill, a hacksaw, a Japanese pole saw, a rubber mallet, two-part epoxy, E6000 glue, a paint marker, various other pens and markers to draw out the shape, grid paper, and a straight edge. The first thing I did was to draw out the shape of the blade. I took a Japanese cleaver and scaled it up because there is no consistency between drawings sometimes. I made the blade length about 17 inches in the height 4.5, with a handle length of 5 inches. When I cut out the stencil, I made sure not to read it. After transferring the stencil of the blade to the plexiglass, I went to use the worst band saw in existence to cut it out, until… Due to unforeseen complications as in the band saw broke, I have decided to switch over to the angle grinder, which will be used by my father because his is old and I don't like it. Dad, any thoughts on this situation? Sounds like a personal problem to me. And after I got my dad to use the terrifying 40 year old angle grinder to cut out the blade, I cut off a piece of PVC for the handle. After I'd just spent all the time doing that with the two different saws, I now realize I could have used the chop saw that we have. Ah well, live and learn I guess. I then used both a hacksaw and a Japanese pull saw to line down the PVC so that I could flatten it out. I did this by heating up the PVC with a heat gun and when it was hot enough I used a piece of plywood to hold it flat until it had cooled down. I then drilled holes for the dowel rods. After using two put epoxy to hold the handle scales in place, I hammered the dowel rods through with a rubber mount. After the epoxy had dried, I sanded down the handle to its final shape. Also sanded down the blade so there weren't any sharp edges to it and so it couldn't cut anyone on accident. Finally, I used these 6,000 to glue the leather to the handle. I then wrapped the blade in the cloth and drew on all the different spots and with that I was done. And that's how I made Anonymi's Cleaver from Jujutsu Kaisen. If you enjoyed this video, please let me know in the comments down below. I do really enjoy making props and I'm hoping that I can get into it and make more videos on that very, very soon. But that is all that I have for now. I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. If you'd like to follow me on any of my other social media links to all of those are going to be in the description down below as always. But with that, I hope that you all have a fantastic day and I'll see you all in the next video. Peace.

Okay, it's two o'clock. We will go ahead and get started. Thank you all for joining me today for some last minute tips for Giving Tuesday. My name is Ashley Kefalidis. I am a Community Development Specialist here at Mighty Cause. I'm certainly glad to be with you all today. And I had a chance to mention to those who were on a few minutes early that we certainly appreciate you carving out time as we get into this busy fall season for fundraising. So I'm excited to be with you and I appreciate you making the time to be with me today. And as we get started, what we'll do is we'll take a quick look at who Mighty Cause is, but then we'll focus our attention on to the Giving Tuesday basics and registration, your Mighty Cause profile, Mighty Cause resources, scheduling content, your day of plan, follow up, and then we'll have a bonus, just the least that you need to do for success on Giving Tuesday. And of course, we'll have time for questions and answers at the end. Go ahead and post those questions or comments throughout the webinar in the question and answer box or in the chat box. And we'll be sure to cover those at the end of everything. Also, we will be recording the webinar. So if you need to duck out a few minutes early before we get to questions and answers, no problem, you'll still receive that via email. We'll send a recording in the slide deck, so you'll be able to check in on anything that you may have missed if you have to step out early. So a little bit about Mighty Cause, we are dedicated to serving nonprofits. We have been since 2006. We offer a year-round platform for all of your fundraising needs, but we're specifically designed for the small to medium nonprofit, although we definitely have our share of large nonprofits as well. And not only do we process donations, but we also provide peer-to-peer fundraising technology, donor management tools, integrations, and a number of other features. And also we have a free resource center with blogs, webinars, e-books, case studies for throughout the year, not just for Giving Tuesday, but that's enough about who Mighty Cause is. Let's get on to just Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday basics and registration. What is Giving Tuesday? Giving Tuesday might be larger than you know. It was launched in 2012, and it's held annually the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday. And this is a global giving event, so it unifies nonprofits all over the world through a day of online giving, but also collaborative generosity. Maybe it's in person, maybe it's online, but it is global. In this year, Giving Tuesday is gonna be November 28th and on Mighty Cause, we're again excited to partner with the small to mid-sized nonprofits just like you. And we wanna spotlight your work and we wanna help you bring in those donations. So for our Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause event, we don't leave you on your own. We're here, we're happy to help. We have a number of resources that we provide to our nonprofits. And this includes a nonprofit toolkit with everything that you need for before, during, and after Giving Tuesday. And we also have a number of webinars, just like this one you may have received the emails. And we have three downloadable e-books that are specific for Giving Tuesday. All that we ask is that you register. And registering is what gets you on the leaderboards and it also is what lets us know who we're working with so that we can provide the best assistance possible. To register, simply head to givingtuesday.mightycause.com. The register button is in the middle of the page. Quick there, follow the prompts. It doesn't take long, but it's all that we ask. We ask that you register. And something to note, you'll hear me refer to Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause throughout the webinar. And these prizes that we'll chat about in a couple of the details are specific to Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause. However, I know that we have participants from a number of different local or statewide campaigns. So I know that, for example, Georgia Gives, they also provide a Giving Tuesday event. So a lot of these tips and strategies, these are absolutely applicable regardless of your giving event. But the specifics for Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause, for example, registration, you don't need to worry about those if you're participating in a Giving Tuesday event within your region. And there's a couple of important dates to note. So early giving for Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause begins on November 14th. And all donations starting at midnight Eastern Standard Time on November 14th, will count toward your Giving Tuesday total. And that means you can start moving up those leader boards early. Now registration closes November 21st. Again, this is just for Mighty Cause, Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause. That registration closes November 21st. So we don't wanna wait, even though early giving has started, you'll still have a couple of days to register, but go ahead and get that done now. And of course, the big day is November 28th. Starts midnight Eastern Standard Time and it runs through midnight Pacific Time. Because we don't wanna short change anybody. So from midnight Eastern to midnight Pacific Time. Prizes, prizes, prizes. Mighty Cause is giving away $10,000 in cash prizes and over $5,000 in Mighty Cause subscriptions, which this is huge for us. Now cash may be king, but those Mighty Cause subscriptions, those are gonna help bring in more cash throughout the year. The prize opportunities are awesome and they are beginning with early giving. So throughout early giving and giving Tuesday, the leaderboards track the dollars raised and the unique number of donors. And to keep things fair, we break up organizations into two categories, small nonprofits and large nonprofits. And we also have power hours. So a power hour is a fundraising sprint that awards a prize to the organization that maybe raises the most money or has the most number of donors within the space of an hour. And then we have random prizes, which are also known as golden tickets. And you can think of these as a random drawing where we pick single donations at random and we award $100 to that nonprofit. So this means that every registered nonprofit that receives a donation has a chance to win a prize. In addition to the random tickets and the hour long sprints, we're encouraging our nonprofits to go beyond the traditional donation. And we wanna celebrate the matching grants, your recurring donations and retaining donors. And we wanna celebrate that with prizes. And also this year, we're introducing something new for it's Just For Giving Tuesday on Mighty Cause. And it's our subscriber perks and we love our subscribers. So along with chances to win prizes within that primary prize pool that we just covered, we're going to give away over $2,000 in prizes for which only Mighty Cause subscribers are eligible. So it just brings in a little bit more, stirs it up a little bit, brings in a little more creativity. And you can check the details and all the prize information and tips in our rules and prizes tab, which you can find on the Giving Tuesday website. So tip number one for Giving Tuesday, it's your Mighty Cause profile. We're gonna spend a little bit of time here, but I guarantee you it's worth it. So there are four essential items on your profile page to do this. And these have to be completed, it's part of your registration process. Now the items are uploading a logo, adding a banner, sharing your mission within the about section and composing a thank you message for your thank you page. Now these are required because we also find them to be the most essential. So it's kind of two birds with one stone there. And why is it part of tip one? So the profile page is what your public sees. And you're gonna be sharing this page with your supporters and making the most of this page by presenting your goals and your mission in a thoughtful way is gonna make a big difference. Now your profile page URL is what you're gonna be sharing with your supporters. And you're gonna add this to your website, you're gonna include it on all of your organization correspondence. So making the most of this is gonna, it's gonna take you kind of down the road but it's also gonna gear you up for that end of year fundraising. So as you're looking at the different features we're gonna go over, just kind of keep in mind giving Tuesday end of year fundraising, what can you do there? You can make these customizations using the quick edit option at the top of your profile page. You can include pictures, videos, organization wish lists, upcoming programs, events, volunteer opportunities. Your page really is like a canvas. Anything that you know is going to really connect with your donors is what you wanna present on your page. And you're gonna think about what do your donors need to know about your organization? Are there upcoming initiatives? Maybe the rising cost of goods lately is changing your budget or maybe your organization has had some breakthroughs in your community and you wanna celebrate that and you wanna further those activities. So that's what you're gonna use your story section for and that's what you're gonna do, use the pictures, your media sections to you, pardon, that's what you're gonna use those sections for. It's gonna be connecting with your donors. And now I have two examples of organizations that have made the most of their pages and keep in mind, this is also some last minute activity. So you can go big or you can go minimal. The point is to be intentional with your pages. So first we're gonna take a look at vets beyond the Uniform Foundation. For what they chose to do on their organization page, it's a little, I'm gonna say streamlined and what I mean by that is that it's not lacking in engagement, but it's very straightforward. They start with their video, they go through, they explain who they are, how that contribution is gonna make a difference. The giving activity they chose to include so we can see that people care. And then we have that media gallery where it's that visual engagement in a new way. They also link their Instagram page where you could link your Facebook or Instagram or not, totally up to you. The other example that we have is woo, went too fast, here we go. So for the Isaac Foundation, the Innovative Space for Asian American Christianity, they went a little bigger. They got a little more involved. So not only do they start with their mission and they start to go through some of their activity, they also have a video and they have testimonials of people who have been involved and engaged. And you'll see how they have their image of photo. It brings the life, it brings the personality to their supporters. So it's not just words on a page, but it's bringing faces. These are real people that they're engaging. So for their page, they did choose to be a little more built out. Both pages are good, both pages are strong. It really is up to you and what you wanna have for your supporters. So as you consider your page, like I said, it doesn't need to be grandiose, but it does need to reflect who you are. So along those lines, we're gonna add or we're gonna update a goal or a progress bar. And you don't have to, we do recommend it, but again, just depends on what works best for you. And this progress bar is gonna be between your banner and the story section on your profile page. And you can update this to reflect the goal, the dollar amount for your Giving Tuesday. Now this can be changed or updated at any time. And you can also adjust the goal so that your page metrics start on November 14th for that early giving. And not only are we gonna customize our profile, but we're also gonna customize your checkout flow. Now you can find the checkout flow on your dashboard under checkout, the checkout section, and then you'll click on the donation form. So if you, excuse me, a few hints here, you can add suggested donation amounts and descriptions that pair up with a new initiative or any budget adjustments. And if you already have donation descriptions, go ahead and make sure that those are up to date. And once you've edited the checkout flow, give it a practice run. We're better yet have a friend walk through the checkout process and share any feedback because we wanna make sure that this is as easy as possible for your donors. So I have two examples of organizations that utilize the donation suggestion amounts and descriptions. And these can include whatever you would like to include, but if you want it to reflect again, your organization and connect with your donors. So the Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue, they only have four donation suggestions, but they make perfect sense. And the House of Blue Hope Foundation, now they included seven donation suggestions ranging from $35 to 2000. So there's no right or wrong, it's the intent. And our intent is to guide the donor for making a donation that's gonna link them to your organization's mission because you're cultivating supporters, you're not just raising funds. We also have the opportunity within that checkout tab on your dashboard to customize a thank you page. So this is essentially the donation confirmation page, but more importantly, this is your first opportunity to thank your donor for their gift. So you're gonna share your gratitude, you could do that through a picture, through a video or just through text, totally up to you, but you wanna be reassuring your donor that their contribution is making a difference. And to make it even better, you can add a call to action button at the bottom of the page. So this way you're directing your donors to the next step. Now the donation receipt is also customizable. And the good news here is not only do we send that receipt automatically as soon as the donor donates, now you don't have to worry about receipts, but again is that opportunity to thank your donors. So essentially you're getting your first two thank yous in automatically. So it can include anything that you wanna include, it does primarily just need to be text because of the formatting of the receipt. And now that our donors are taken care of, let's take a quick look at the backend of your organization profile page. So the bottom icon on your organization dashboard is your settings tab. You're gonna head here to make sure that you have all of the admins that you need for this here and that you can go ahead and remove any previous administrators who no longer need access to your organization profile page. Now in the general settings section, you'll wanna make sure that your social sharing options have been updated for your Giving Tuesday content. And this can be updated throughout the campaign. So you'll wanna get started now so that when people share your page on social media, it's updated, but then throughout the next couple of weeks you can be updating this so that that content varies from day to day or every couple of days. And finally, double check your EFT setup and your legal information. So within EFT, there's a Disbursement Settings tab just for that. And then within the Organization Info section, that's where you can check your legal info. Now is just a great time to do that. It's always good to check in and when better to do that than Giving Tuesday. So last thing, if you're returning to Giving Tuesday, so if you participated with us last year, go ahead and take a moment to focus on your retention. So check your donor retention rates in the Overview tab on your dashboard. It's gonna be the first item on your dashboard. So donors that gave last year and Giving Tuesday are a great source for this year's campaign. And go ahead, create a special strategy, do a special outreach just for them where you thank your donors for that previous engagement and where you ask them to participate again this year. And as a side note, that retention isn't that retention tool, I should say, isn't only available for Giving Tuesday, the feature's available all year round. So just in your last minute getting ready and activity, don't forget about that retention. It's super important. So tip two is your Mighty Cause resources. So we have the Resource tab, it's on our Giving Tuesday on our main page. And within that Resources tab, we have the toolkit with everything that you need. So no matter how large or small your 2023 campaign might be, we have what you need. And to help with that last minute marketing and communication to your supporters, we have email templates, social media post suggestions, we have logos, graphics, and we have a checklist that takes you from today all the way through the days following Giving Tuesday. Because follow-up is very important. So we have content that will take you all the way through. Now let's say that storytelling or matching grants, you know are good things, but they're intimidating. Let us help you. We have guides that are gonna walk you through not only steps to take, whether it's storytelling, matching grants, and some other activities, social media, things like that, but we also talk with you about the mindset. So as you're making plans and you're going forward, it's not just things to do, but it's the mindset to have. I am telling you this toolkit is like a pot of gold when it comes to Giving Tuesday. So step number three, you're gonna start scheduling your content because this is super huge when it comes to being prepared. Go ahead and start writing those emails now and let our templates help you. You don't have to start from scratch. And let's say you're gonna send five emails right all five now. So this way you can make sure that the Tuesday giving message is clear that the flow of your emails makes sense. And then you can time them out. And also if you have a prize winning strategy, particularly for those power hours, you wanna make sure that your donors know beforehand so that they can prepare. And don't be afraid to cater to your different audiences. Segmenting donors can be super helpful when it comes to identifying and putting that personal touch with your donors. So for example, if you have monthly donors, you're gonna address them directly thanking them for their monthly support, but then you're gonna highlight the prize factor of Giving Tuesday and you're gonna ask them to give again a special gift on Giving Tuesday or during early giving, whatever fits your strategy best. Another example, let's say you have donors that give every year at the end of the year. They always give in December. Go ahead and email them directly and request that they donate for Giving Tuesday. And again, highlight the idea of the leaderboards and the prizes or if you have a matching grant going on and let them know that their donation can go further if they participate in Giving Tuesday. Of course, we definitely wanna recognize and encourage that any donation anytime is good, but it's okay to ask for donations at a particular time. Also, if you have a routine correspondence, be sure to include your Giving Tuesday link in all of that messaging. Same goes for when you're posting on social media. And don't forget, most crucial step of all is gonna be that you test out your emails before you send them. And this includes your proof reading because you want your content to be a wow factor and not an oh boy, oops, type factor. I mentioned social media. We wanna prepare for social media also. So much of our culture runs through social media and this is where you have the opportunity to raise awareness for what you do, but also to gain donors. So be sure to check out our Giving Tuesday social media tools and our guide and the nonprofit toolkit for this extra info and some ideas and some tips. Couple of things to remember right at the moment. Posting on different social media outlets is huge and the more you post, the better. So go ahead and write up those posts and create your schedule in advance because things are gonna get crazy as we lead up to Giving Tuesday. So go ahead and get the post set up, get your schedule ready to go so that as you start to make those posts, it's a thought through, it's a thorough and a well-dressed campaign. Again, you want everything to be flowing. We've got lots of tools. Don't hesitate to use them. So for example, we have two examples. Pause has already started posting their Save the Date content. They've done so on multiple outlets. Here's just an image of one. And a post from last year shows the organization Save the Animals Foundation in Cincinnati. They started to prep their donors not only for the big day, but they also were using their tagline just one more. So they formed a tagline just for Giving Tuesday and as they started their camp painting, that was their tagline, social media posts, emails on their profile page. It's just one more thing that you can do that helps create an awareness and then a reminder to your donors and to your supporters. When you post online, that's when people can start to share those posts. You'll see for Save the Animals Foundation in Cincinnati, they had eight shares. That's what we want to do. We want to cultivate those shares. Now, we also need a day of plan. So we want to get that together before Giving Tuesday. We don't want to miss any opportunities to engage your donors and not just your donors, but your supporters as well. So you want to assign point people for social media, donor questions, and for monitoring donations. And depending on the size of your organization, this might just be you or it could be a couple of staff members. It could be volunteers. It just depends on your situation and on your setting. The important thing is that you have all of your bases covered so that you're gonna keep your momentum going during early Giving, but primarily on November 28th. Now, here's a big thing. Make sure that you meet with everybody who's gonna be involved before November 28th. We want everybody to be clear. We want everybody to have the right information so that they can fulfill their role with excellence. We don't want confusion. We don't want people to be lost. And people feel better. They do better. They volunteer better when they know and are prepared for what's coming up. So take a few minutes beforehand to make sure everybody's ready to go. Now, we wanna engage our supporters on Giving Tuesday. So you're gonna celebrate your milestones. You're gonna celebrate with your staff. You're gonna celebrate on social media. You're gonna celebrate by sending out emails. You wanna keep things fun. It's exciting. It's a great day. You're joining together with thousands of other nonprofits and you're making a major impact in your community. So it's something to be celebrated. Now, what we're also gonna do the day of is we're gonna keep an eye on those matching grants and on our prizes. And you're gonna use social media to pursue those other donations. And you're gonna do that also to just engage with your supporters. So here's an example. When Save the Animals Foundation Cincinnati, same organization we just looked at a moment ago, when they received a $10,000 donation, they celebrated everywhere and that included social media. So here on their Facebook post, not only do we see they made a post, but we also see the reactions. There were 736 reactions to this donation. There were 50 comments. This is engagement. This is what we're going for. And this is the opportunity that we have on Giving Tuesday that just is, it's just a little different than any other time during the year. So let's make sure that we're capitalizing on it. Tip number five, we wanna plan that follow-up. Follow-up increases your future gifts and it helps to close out the loop on Giving Tuesday. People wanna know how you did on Giving Tuesday. They cared enough to donate in the first place. So go ahead and give them that respect and give them that gratitude of showing you're Giving Tuesday success. I know we just said it, but post on social media that success. Send out those emails. When you're doing your different newsletters and your different conversations with donors, make sure that you spotlight that Giving Tuesday success. Follow-up is also gonna keep your donors engaged for future donation opportunities, future fundraisers. And it's also gonna keep the door open for volunteering. They're gonna be the people who are promoting you. And also when you have that critical support that you need at different times, following up with your Giving Tuesday donors is part of what just keeps that relationship going so they don't feel like, well, you only use this when you need a donation. No, you wanna develop those relationships. We want to steward our donors and our supporters well. So we're gonna welcome those new donors with a personal touch. This is a great activity for a volunteer, by the way. We wanna welcome in our new donors, especially for those if this is their first Giving Tuesday, but also those who have donated, let's say other times during the year, but this is their first recurring gift, or if they were retained from last year, we wanna add a personal touch to anything that makes a donation stand out. We want them to know they're part of your mission. And this also goes for those big donors. So if you have a large donor, or let's say that they gave a matching grant this year, these are big deals. So make a big deal out of the way that you celebrate them. Maybe this is taking out a big, or excuse me, taking a big donor out to lunch, or for those matching grants, maybe you provide a little bit of nonprofit gear to them celebrating your mission. Make it special as you start to steward those donors. Now, we've got a bonus tip. And this is the least that you can do and still have success for Giving Tuesday. Sometimes the least we can do is all we can do. And that's okay. So all that you need to do is look over your current Mighty Cause page, make sure everything is up to date. You're gonna fill in those four essentials, get in your story section, your logo, make sure your to-do list is done and your banner is there. Excuse me, your thank you page is done. Get those four essentials done. If they are, make sure everything's up to date. You're gonna create a few social media posts. Doesn't need to be a ton, just a couple and at least one email blast so that you can alert your supporters that Giving Tuesday is coming. At the bare minimum, that's what you can do. And who knows, you might win one of those random drawings. You could end up with a golden ticket. All it takes is participation. And whatever donations come in, it's a win. Now, with that said, let's go ahead, let's go through some questions. I've seen a couple come in already. I do wanna mention just a couple of things. I mentioned at the very beginning that we have those prize perks for our Mighty Cause subscribers. If you are interested in our Accelerate subscription, I would be more than happy to get you paired up with one of our experts where they can go through what you're looking for in a platform and then the features that we offer. Not only will using the Accelerate plan boost your Giving Tuesday fundraising, but it also puts you in the running for some prizes. So definitely just nothing else. We can get a good conversation in there, no commitment. But if you're interested, go ahead and post your email in the chat or the Q&A box. I'll make sure to get you paired up with one of our experts. We also have a, I totally lost the word, we have a survey at the end of our webinar. Let us, you can let us know there if you're interested in a demo, but also let us know what other content you would like to hear from us. I know that some people have asked for more examples so we're trying to work those in. There's some other topics people have asked for so we're trying to get those in, maybe not an individual webinar for that, but we're trying to work that information into the webinars and the blogs that we're hosting. So we definitely appreciate it when you fill out those surveys. But let's go ahead and we'll get started with some questions. Give me just a moment to catch up here. So Arnold asked about early giving. So early giving doesn't end on the 21st just to run through those dates again. When early giving begins on November 14th, that will run straight through up until the 28th. The only thing that ends on the 21st is registration and that's so that we can get leaderboards and prizes and all of that filtered out and set up. So registration ends on the 21st, but you can raise funds starting November 14th all the way through the 28th. So I had mentioned and also Leah had a question. So there are some local giving events. For example, Georgia Gives has a giving event on also on Giving Tuesday. So there's some organizations Colorado Gives and then we have North Texas Gives and there's Washington Gives and there's a number of others that are hosting Giving Tuesday events. So if you've registered with any of these other organizations or not organizations, any of these other giving events then that's where you're gonna wanna participate because those are best suited for the organizations within their region. So what you'll wanna do is yes, stick with Leah you'll stick with that giving event that local giving page that's where you're gonna wanna stay. Now a lot of the features are gonna be the same but as far as prizes and also the deadlines and things those are gonna be different. So you'll wanna pay attention to that local giving event page. Also just a quick note, the webinar will be, it is recorded it will be emailed as well as the slide deck will be emailed to anyone who registered for the webinar, but also on our Giving Tuesday page if you go to the Giving Tuesday page select resources and then the toolkit you can find all of our webinars posted there it may take a day or so a couple of days to get the webinar on the slide deck there but you can see it, you'll be able to access it there. And Kim asked for any tips for folks who have just finished a fall fundraiser they had a luncheon but now how do we move to Giving Tuesday so other than segmenting donors there's a couple of things that you can do a big thing is thanking anyone and everyone who participated with the luncheon and letting them know that Giving Tuesday is happening. So you don't necessarily have to ask them to give again but letting them know, thank you for participating in addition what you'll do in a broad outreach you're gonna say, hey, we just had this luncheon and it was amazing for anyone who wasn't able to participate we have Giving Tuesday coming up. The other thing that you can do is use Giving Tuesday as an option to say, hey, get involved with our organization it doesn't have to be through donations. So Kim, what you can do is say, hey, we just had this great fundraiser now's an opportunity I don't know what your organization does in particular but in essence now's an opportunity to get maybe a little more hands on involved if that's suitable and hands on involved might be writing thank you cards or it could be doing phone calls or it could be getting in your community and talking with people. So it more would be an opportunity now to segment to if you didn't get to donate, now's an opportunity but then now's your opportunity to get involved. So I hope Kim, I hope that that's helpful. And I do have someone asked about a quarter after about two 15 asked they're not sure if they're registered for Mighty Cause but they are registered under Washington Gives. So because you're registered with Washington Gives that's one of the regional giving events going on you won't really wanna participate in Mighty Cause you're gonna wanna participate through Washington Gives. So don't worry about registering for Mighty Cause stick with Washington Gives but go ahead and implement the different tips that we looked at here today. For example, if you have participated in a giving event at a different time during the year go through your profile page and make sure your content is up to date. For example, if you participated in Give 828 go on in an update where you have Give 828 and change that to hashtag Giving Tuesday as opposed to Give 828 just to show your donors the difference of the two different campaigns. Arnold asked what kinds of things do we check our emails on? So a couple of things you're gonna meet one checking to make sure that your emails are going out. Also as new emails are coming in or I should say new people are donating so now you have new emails coming in you're gonna wanna make sure that your donor management systems are filtering in and you're making sure that they're getting those email addresses and then add them to any email blasts that are going out. And it's okay if it's a give again email that's okay because oftentimes we're giving in emails have a thank you component so we wanna make sure that we keep kind of keep that thread going we're always wanna be thanking our donors but a big thing is you wanna make sure your emails are going out as they ought to be as they're scheduled and you wanna make sure that whatever new email addresses are coming in they're getting on the email list but also you wanna check to see is anyone emailing me saying that they're lost online or did anybody email saying hey I didn't get a receipt or I think I emailed but I meant to add a dedication I wanted to make this in honor of my mom so you wanna follow up to see our donors contacting you because they'll have questions so that's why you wanna those three main reasons why you wanna keep your keep a tabs on what's going on with your email and Emma asked if people can donate before early giving people can donate before the 14th however if someone donates before the 14th it's not gonna count towards leaderboards and prizes so the donate button does function but the donations won't count towards those leaderboards and prizes so if you're a part of NSGT the prizes, the competitions those won't apply Sarah asked that right about 230 the prizes won't apply but as I mentioned the different features will okay we've got a question about Colorado Gives just a moment so someone asked as far as Colorado Gives and Giving Tuesday so for anyone who happens to know what Colorado Gives is if you don't don't worry about this too much it's really up to you a lot of organizations will use Giving Tuesday as sort of a springboard towards Colorado Gives it I hesitate to give that advice in the sense of there's a lot of particulars to your organization that said if you use giving Tuesday as a launching point for Colorado Gives you can use a lot of the same marketing or let's say that you have a couple of initiatives that you're working towards go ahead and focus in on those initiatives for Giving Tuesday and then when you get to Colorado Gives you can talk about hey look at this momentum that we have look at how much we've raised help us get to the to the end line to the finish line I hope that that's helpful when you have the two different giving events going on you can, I happen to like the idea of using one marketing plan to lead into the other not everybody feels that way which just happens to be my preference it also keeps things a little more it makes things easier for you in the craziness of everything if you try creating two different marketing campaigns that's tough so that I hope that that's helpful Louise I hope that that's helpful Ebi I got your email address thank you for that let me see what else we've got going on so as far as prizes so someone asked how to win a prize and it depends on a couple of things so I'm going to suggest head on over to our prize page and I'm going to go ahead and post the link to our prize page in the support excuse me in the webinar chat so there's a lot that there's a lot of different prizes sometimes it's based on the most number of dollars the highest amount raised other times it's based on the most unique donors but we also have some prizes that are in regards to recurring donors things like that so I'm going to not get too much into the weeds on the specific prizes I'm going to send you on over to the prize page because there's a lot of different a lot of different options and as I mentioned in case anybody missed it at the beginning we do have a delineation between large nonprofits and small nonprofits because we want things to be fair so yes some will be total amount of donations others are going to be number of donors power hours are a little different and the random prizes doesn't matter how much you've raised if a donation was made you might be able to you might it might be drawn as a random ticket so that would be good okay let's see just making sure I'm going through so Lisa did ask because she's also part of Colorado Gives and she asked about why there's a different day in regards to Giving Tuesday Day is just what it is for Colorado Gives Day they wanted to have just a particular time that wasn't that specifically Colorado that wasn't lost in just the world of nonprofit giving also it just allowed for some different marketing and promotional opportunities having it be a different day than Giving Tuesday it's certainly not intended to to computers any donors or anything of that nature the hope also sometimes isn't it's not just donations giving on Giving Tuesday but but also that let's get involved and be be more than just I don't use the word bystanders but let's get involved with our hands and volunteer things like that with Giving Tuesday so the reasons for a different day there there is a number of reasons a big part of it is the opportunity to be just Colorado Gives in December Carrie one, let me see yes Carrie will definitely get you connected with one of our one of our experts okay Allison mentioned a concern about the the thank you note what I would say Allison go ahead and touch in or touch base with our customer support and see they can what they'll be able to do is look specifically at your organization page and from there then they'll be able to see what may have happened there was it an error in somebody's email address the way it was typed in or something like that so we can definitely take a look there what we can do is if you for that question go ahead and reach out if you go to our support page there's an option to to touch base there so I would say reach out to our customer support team Laura yes there will be a recording of the webinar we'll email that and we will also have that on our on the Giving Tuesday page within the toolkit in the webinar section Tanisha California does have a couple of different giving events what I would say is head on over let's see what would be the best way I would actually just check with your local your other local nonprofits to say hey there's not every local giving event is on our platform so I would say kind of touch base to see that said you are more than welcome to participate in Mighty Caught on Giving Tuesday on Mighty Caught we would love to have you we have a large number of California organizations we have a number for example for those who may be participated in Given May although that's a California event it's not happening Giving Tuesday so I would say go ahead and just jump in on Mighty Caught's Giving Tuesday you're certainly gonna have a number of great tools a number of great opportunities for prizes and those that fundraising so I would say just kind of jump on in to what we have okay so we did have a question about recruiting volunteers through the different initiatives so we have a couple of things we have a tool on our on the platform that allows for opportunities now that is part of our Accelerate subscription and what that allows is for you can pose different opportunities for volunteering but also just different calendar events that are going on and you can post that on your profile page and then people can sign up to volunteer or to participate in whatever the calendar event might be so you can do that through your profile page that's one option through our volunteers tool as far as recruiting if you're looking for just some different suggestions for how do you get people involved with Giving Tuesday for example to be following up with social media or something like that a big thing is you and this isn't mean to sound trite but you ask put out a call on Facebook or on through email or through your newsletters however you typically engage with your supporters and say hey listen Giving Tuesday is coming we're looking for some volunteers and then give them a list of things that you need some people are gonna say I don't do social media I cannot be helpful there that's fine but if they make phone calls they're comfortable doing phone calls or if they're comfortable writing thank you notes let them know this is the list of what we need they might say I can't do that but I definitely do this also let them know for opportunities after Giving Tuesday they might say hey it's too short notice you can say that's okay we're gonna need thank you notes for year end giving or we're gonna need people who are calling or stuffing envelopes for year end giving or let's say that there's some different community opportunities in the month of December and you're gonna need people to be at a booth at a festival or you're gonna be doing different engagements or maybe there's a conference that you're attending go ahead and list those the big thing is just ask put out a list of different items or tasks that need to be done and ask people for help and don't hesitate to ask people directly sometimes they won't just raise a hand you gotta ask them but once you ask them then they're so glad that you did so I hope that that is helpful okay just a second here James so we don't so James asked if we have any referrals or suggestions for those who and he referenced them as contractors someone who would be able to run a campaign or put that Giving Tuesday campaign together there are people who manage social media accounts and things like that unfortunately we do not offer referrals or suggestions to anyone we don't link ourselves in that way one thing would be just kind of as I just mentioned about recruiting the volunteers put out a call to your general supporters I know that you're small well I shouldn't say I know that you're small you said that you don't have time that's different than being small but if you are small still go ahead and reach out and what you might have to do is say to someone hey do you know of anybody who can help us and there might be a small cost involved so you're not always asking your volunteers to do it you might just be saying hey do you know of anybody or trusted contractor that I could reach out to but unfortunately we don't provide those so the leaderboards aren't ready just yet those will appear on Giving Tuesday or excuse me when early giving begins so we can't find leaderboards yet because they're not there but you'll see them on the website on the Giving Tuesday page when you go to that main page so once that giving early giving begins and for the matching grants we don't supply matching grants it is up to the nonprofit to secure a matching grant we do have a matching grant tool what that allows is where you're able to showcase on your profile page who provided matching grant and it can be anonymous but it's how much it also would describe what the match is, is it a dollar for dollar? Is it unlocked only when a donation is $50 or more? Do you have to reach a certain number of donations or a certain dollar amount before the matching grant is unlocked? There's a lot of different options what I'm gonna suggest is we do have within the toolkit my favorite thing of Giving Tuesday within the toolkit we do have a matching grants guide that will walk you through all of that and also we have a couple of blog posts and support articles that talk about how to secure a matching grant how to create it on your page but I'm gonna direct you to the toolkit for that. Okay, Claire, give me just a moment here so Claire had asked and I'm just gonna summarize a little bit is it better to add? I'm gonna cover this as a high number of donation suggestion amounts and descriptions so for example, their organization has amounts from 50 to 5,000 and it says that there's $50 since one student to the Youth Leadership Seminar, 5,000 covers a year, a scholarship for a student so there are, there's benefits to adding the increments but we also don't wanna overwhelm our donors either because we want as few quicks as possible and as little scrolling through the checkout flow as possible. I would say decide as a group don't even decide by yourself but ask a couple others within your nonprofit to say, okay, what are the key donations that we're looking for? We like the smaller ones but we also like the bigger ones because we wanna encourage people to give it all levels but maybe decide what are our six major amounts that we wanna make sure people see and I would decide that as a group. I definitely don't know that we want 50 to 5,000 I feel like that would be a ton but again, I don't know exactly what your breakdown would be so I would say get with your group and see what are the main dollar amounts that people usually get and the main dollar amounts that we wanna hit that will help us to reach our goal. At least you're very welcome for those and it gets tricky with Colorado like with the, not that Colorado is tricky but with Mighty Cause in Colorado so I'm glad that you asked and you all are very welcome I'm so glad that you've been able to participate able to ask some questions. I and asked I always think that it is better to go with the local giving event it's what's being promoted in your community the most cause it's Mighty Cause isn't is not that we aren't but we are nationwide where if you take somebody like Georgia Gibbs Georgia Gibbs is also doing promotion so they're doing promotion within Georgia that's also promoting you as part of their event it's just I will always vote to sign up for that local giving event. So Angie asked this is her first introduction to Mighty Cause, welcome. What I'm gonna suggest Angie is I have your email address now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pair you up with one of our experts she asked if there's a subscription or a paid account to participate in giving Tuesday itself to register does not require any payment it's totally free to participate in giving Tuesday so that's a big thing we want it to be available to all nonprofits regardless but we do have subscriptions that will allow for just some extra tools and features to be used but giving Tuesday itself is totally free of charge we're just happy to have you. I'm good I'm glad that this has been understandable and helpful I'm glad that this has been good let me just go through I see a couple more listed in our question and answer box I've been trying to go back and forth a little bit. So someone did ask and I think this might be our last question which is good because we can let y'all go in we're a little bit over time I appreciate everybody for sticking with me so Veronica asked her city hosted a giving day just a month ago and she's asking if it's too much to ask donors to give to another event and how do you go about asking if you do? So there's a couple of things I kind of mentioned it a little bit earlier on but slightly different where someone had their fundraising luncheon so in a similar way there's always gonna be donors who didn't give during El Paso giving day so you can reach out to your donors as a whole and thank them for those who participated in El Paso giving day but ask them hey if you didn't get to now you have your opportunity here's Giving Tuesday the other thing that you can do when asking again is letting people know hey we had this great success whatever your success was now if you didn't meet your goal you can let them know hey we still have 4,000 or 20,000 whatever it is $400 whatever it might be to reaching our goal and you can say here's another opportunity and be sure for those who have given to thank them for giving and ask them would you be interested in and you can even depending on your nonprofit size you could say would you be interested in contributing just another $5 or just another 10 or just another 100 whatever you're comfortable with with your donor base to say we're so close to our goal here's another opportunity here's the other thing when you're doing your asking for Giving Tuesday when you're asking again is you're gonna be pointing out we have the opportunity for prizes so that's one of the things that can make a difference for donors or if you get a matching grant I would definitely encourage you try to get a matching grant so that if you are asking people to give again you're letting them know hey we're just asking you to give $5 and it's gonna be transformed into 10 with our match so that you're saying here we're not just asking for more money but we are meeting you halfway we're creating a match and we have the opportunity to win prizes do you mind giving just a little bit more to help us reach our goal? The other thing when you're kind of shifting from one giving event to Giving Tuesday is highlight this idea that hey this is an opportunity to volunteer it's the opportunity to learn more about us or what you do is you say hey we're not asking you for more money we're asking you to share us on social media we're asking for you to promote us so that you're not giving again from El Paso Giving Day but you're passing on the word you're sharing about us and those are the new donors that are gonna come in so the Giving Tuesday donors are like the new donors where the El Paso Giving Day those are your faithful core so Veronica I hope that that's helpful I hope for anybody had a chance to listen or has a similar question that that is helpful information what we'll do is we'll go ahead we'll call it a day I do have the email addresses for everyone so we'll make sure to get you peered up with an expert one last time I just wanna thank everybody for coming out for bringing questions for bringing ideas and just being a part of Giving Tuesday it makes it exciting as we get closer when we start to see everybody coming again

Navigating the Transition to Network Virtualization
Network Virtualization promises to impact the networking industry much like server virtualization impacted IT. What this means for you is that the networks in your OpenStack cloud can be architected and operated in a way that is drastically better than the manual and opaque networks of the traditional enterprise era. Specifically, network virtualization provides fully-automated provisioning of network connectivity and policy and opens up new opportunities for network visualization, troubleshooting, and security. Now that network virtualization has been around a few years and exists in many production OpenStack deployments, we can talk concretely about which of the promised benefits of network virtualization are already being realized today, and which remain as promising ideas yet to be fully realized. This view into the deployments of network virtualization pioneers, along with a view of key industry trends will help your organization navigate the transition to network virtualization.

Hey guys, all right, so I'm Martin. I was one of the co-founders of this Sierra I'm now the CTO of networking for VMware and the focus of this talk is You know, we've been doing network virtualization as a community now for five six seven years And so I want to talk about not just what network virtualization is but kind of like how now that people have adopted it how they're pushing it into do new things and and And I Would like to step back and actually just talk a little bit about disruptive technologies in general So like as technologists We like to look at like the full extent of new technologies right something like virtualization I think we immediately go to things like cloud But like you know our ability as technologists to see how powerful Disruptive technologies are and the market's ability to consume it are entirely different right so even in the case of compute virtualization When like when like VMware for example first came out They would take you know compute virtualization and they would sell it on these very very simple principles, right? So like the early sales pitch For compute virtualization was server consolidation. It's about as simple as you can get right So you'd walk into a customer you'd be like listen if you run VMware or if you run virtualization and instead of buying You know two physical servers you buy one physical server and you save money and that was that was it and When you have very simple kind of pitches It's much easier for technologies to get adopted It just is very difficult to go against kind of like the conventional practices of a company And it's all has to do with sales and go to market however Once technologies get adopted Then it kind of captures the imagination and once they're in place you normally especially virtualization You have like this like the proverbial level of indirection and computer science and you can take advantage of that position to do really cool stuff right and so for example in the case of Server virtualization we started out with this really simple value proposition of server consolidation Then you end up with cloud and all of the benefits that we see now And so what I would like to talk about is like I believe network virtualization is following the same type of trend Which is originally adoption was kind of around these very simple use cases But now that it's been you know Adopted put into practice and used at scale We're starting to see use cases that I certainly never imagined early on when we were developing this stuff And so the way that I have split up this talk is to talk in two pieces So the first piece I want to I just want to focus on background If you guys have heard me talk before or if you've heard talks about network virtualization a lot of this will be Known to you, but I think it's good to get on the same page So you just have to indulge me for the first part of the talk. I'm going to do background and Then I want to talk about kind of how this is evolving as technology in a purely technical sense To use cases again that we hadn't thought about on the outset Okay So let me start so what is network virtualization? Many of you know this but just to get everybody on the same page. I want to go through it again So in a data center, I'm going to step through an animation really quickly So in a data center you have physical switching gear and in the case of network virtualization from the edge It doesn't matter what switching gear you have whether you have You know standard traditional vendor gear whether you have a simple L3 ECMP fabric on a white box If you have IP over in finnaband you have whatever physical network that you have in place I'll assume that it has IP connectivity So of course connected to the switches you've got servers and in a virtualized data center on the servers You'll run a hypervisor and in that hypervisor has a v-switch so v-switches in Virtualized data center today already handle every packet Right or at least every packet between the VM and another VM and the VM and the server, right? This is a software layer that will handle every packet and so the idea of Network virtualization I'm going to use an analogy to server virtualization So from the v-switches network virtualization creates what you can think of as a network hypervisor so Let me just draw on the analogy with compute virtualization. So what is compute virtualization? So compute virtualization is a thin software layer that runs on the hardware that exposes a Virtual machine abstraction and that becomes the focal point of operations right now instead of operators dealing with sheet metal and wires It's dealing with you know a software abstraction that has an API. It's full soft state. I mean all the standard stuff that you know So virtual networking does basically the same thing independent of who builds the system is it creates this layer that exposes virtual networks So virtual networks, I mean these are implemented in software at the edge. They look like physical networks Right, so they have all of the standard interfaces of physical networks They'll support L2 and L3 and ingress ACLs and egress ACLs and L4 through 7 services like firewalling or whatever I mean they look like physical networks so they can support existing workloads But they have the operational model of a VM which means I can create them dynamically I can grow them and shrink them and move them and clone them and snapshot them and Of course this works out, you know modifying or touching the hardware. I mean that's the whole point is you know You already have servers. You already have these switches if you can leverage this position Now you can create another operational abstraction so that you can automate the entire data center including the networking portion Generally these are implemented in some sort of an overlay. It's a mechanistic. I mean that that's that's an underlying mechanism generally whether it's DX LAN or NVG re or STT normally the way that you decouple the address space from the virtual view From the physical view is you use some sort of a tunneling But from the perspective of a user or this perspective of a CMS like OpenStack What's exported is a virtual machine or virtual network abstraction That's kind of the net new right that's that's like just like a hypervisor exposes a VM It exposes a virtual network abstraction And like I mentioned before you want this to be complete because the goal is is if you're going to be creating an operator abstraction and software You want to be able to support all existing workloads and Hopefully existing tool sets as well when it comes to things like provisioning and management and so forth So for example in a standard virtual network, you'll have L2 like I said, so this is basic L2 switching You'll support L3 routing often a virtual networking solution will support dynamic route advertisements to the physical network So it just looks like an extension of physical network So for example if things move around in the virtual L3 domain, it'll advertise and update the physical network to say things have moved Sport things like load balancing firewall and gateways and so forth. So that's it. That's the focal point of abstraction So like I mentioned before when it came to compute virtualization We had this idea early on of like, okay, what you know, what's the simple use case? Right and that was server consolidation and for network virtualization We kind of had to come up with the same type of thing which is And I think I think we tried everything like early on like we're like oh op-ex and like that was very difficult to argue about because like You have to change You know, I mean there's an educational hurdle or maybe cap X But that's actually very difficult to argue about and so now five years later having seen this I can say that the primary driver for the adoption of network virtualization in the last five years. Oh actually It is so the primary driver to adoption is agility, which is the ability to To provision things really quickly So let me give you like a real high level view of how to think about network virtualization at kind of the the techno conceptual perspective Like if you zoom back as far away as possible and you take a Abstracted view of a data center. Here's the best way to think about network virtualization So if you look at modern sass data centers think of like the googles or You know any kind of online site. There's this common characteristics in many of the modern ones, which is The physical network has become very very simple Like a very simple L3 ECM P fabric and Then things that have typically been in the network things like ACLs security Fault isolation things that we've actually found within the network have actually migrated into the application And they're being rebuilt as part of the application, right? This is something that's happened over the last 10 years has nothing to do with VMware has nothing to do with OpenFlow or Nasir or SDN. This is just like Darwin speaking on how you build good data centers And what Darwin has said is like if you build very simple physical fabrics, and you put functionality and software You get a lot of benefits, which are really obvious to people that do software, right? So instead of having to manage You know CLIs through scripts I now have objects That I can that I'm programming and controlling directly because I've decoupled features from hardware There's clearly in a capex play here and and more importantly like the closer you are to the application the more semantics you have Right, you're not guessing anymore if if I'm re-implementing a piece of security As part of my application. I know something that's much higher level. I'm doing it at the right layer It's just like a basic Use of the end-to-end principle And so I mean of the you know I've worked with some now You know a few hundred of these kind of new data centers, and I would say some large percent of them say You know 60 70 percent are actually built in this way, which is very different than what we think of for traditional data centers But the problem is is the only way to build this is you have to control the app and sometimes you have to control the platform So if I control my application and I control my platform I can do all of these neat tricks, right? I can implement security I Can implement my own types of discovery? I can let my old types of failover and load balancing like all of this stuff I can implement as part of the application and it's great But if I don't own the app and it hasn't been written to support that this no longer applies And what I like to say is actually having worked with a lot of these kind of large SAS data centers It's actually interesting if you compare like the op models and the cost models between like their web presence and their internal IT So if you look at like what they've built for like the website You know for like the website like the software that is the service the primary function of the data center. It's awesome Right. It's like everything's in software. It's decoupled from the hardware It's got all the benefits I talk about but then if you look at the IT It's often exactly the opposite you still have all of the problems that you have a normal IT It takes a long time to provision things. It takes a long time to configure things, right? So just because you know how to build this for a new type of application doesn't mean that you can take that knowledge And then somehow move it into the problem of enterprise provisioning Okay, so if you compare This kind of modern SAS data center to the problem of traditional enterprise provisioning a traditional data center If you look at a lot, especially in the enterprise So the network is where you stick a lot of stuff for a good reason, which is a central point for having that stuff Right. So things like segmentation things like security things like billing things like basic virtualization Privatives like VLANs and VRFs. This is stuck in the physical network as Part of the physical network and then you can now run applications unmodified So if you do a comparison on like an OPEX CapEx side Yes, it's not as nice of a model, but it's great from the perspective of I've already got trained guys working on this And it works for every workload So the high-level idea if you want a high-level mental model for network virtualization, which is okay Can we do kind of the best of both worlds somehow? Which is you can use any application any OS hypervisor But then we'll have a thin layer that actually reproduces networking and software And then you can have any type of hardware that you want Which is can you provide the ability to build kind of OPEX CapEx type for a modern data center for traditional IT and having that model So that's that's kind of the high-level idea and what's nice is if you ever get to a point where you're kind of having these kind of like You know performance scaling type questions, and you're not sure whether the architecture works You can always go back to kind of the SAS model where it does work Right, so it's very clear that you can do this because this is done all the time by the most successful data centers on the planet So at an architectural standpoint Clearly you can do this at the world, you know in the high-level world of trapezoids and circles You can definitely do this now the question is is can you do this in a way that's consumable by IT? okay, so You know we've had I mean there's been various production deployments of network virtualization whether it's kind of open-source plugins whether it's Products for quite a while, and I've you know been tracking this for a while, and I think that You know even though we've had like a few Strong production deployments in a while like this is the year where like everybody seems to be going into production So in 2010 I think people thought we were totally nutty We were a little in 2011. I think there was general consensus that you could probably do this But between 2011 and 2012 a lot of people didn't want to be the first one to stand in front of the bullet But over the last couple of years we've actually seen a lot of production deployments Which is really cool from a technologist perspective because now we're like okay finally we got like we got something in it's a core platform It's a core technology now. What can we do to like extend the state of the art right like? Virtualization is an indirection point. It's not just about making things fast. It's about like using that as leverage to change the laws of physics That's what virtualization does right? It's like it allows you to like stand outside of something if you have network virtualization in then we can do it We can actually push use cases that you couldn't do otherwise that if you didn't have that level of indirection So that's what I want to talk about for the last half of my talk I already mentioned this which is the primary use case is agility So let's talk about going forward. Okay, so the first one is visibility and debugging. So in my opinion Virtualization kind of broke visibility and debugging which it wasn't really good to begin with so in virtualization You've got two problems, you know the v-switch like sucks in a bunch of the network Which traditionally you didn't have visibility into but more so just because virtualization decouples compute from location if VMA Can't talk to VMB you kind of have to find out where they are Maybe it's not that hard clearly. We've got tools that allow you to do this But in my opinion network virtualization actually provides the right abstracted model For visibility, so let me try and let me try and argue that so network virtualization is Not new as a concept. We've had virtualization primitives and networking forever We've had Vlands. We've had VRFs. We've had MPLS. I mean like you know networking is a virtualization substrate But what we've never had is we've never had a single abstraction, right? What we have is a collection of abstractions So if I give you like a collection of mechanisms I give you a VLAN and a VRF and I give you policy routing and I give you an MPLS LSP I've given you a bunch of MPLS primitives But I haven't given you a virtual network that you can like point an SNMP sniffer at that will show you the entire network Right. This is the difference between like virtualizing memory and CPU and storage independently and having a virtual machine, right? Networking has always been this kind of mismatched collection of virtualization primitives So if you look at a modern Data center and you try and do visibility debugging you've got one very complex network That's all of these virtualization primitives kind of mixed and matched If you use something like network virtualization The way that I like to think of it is instead of having one very complex network With no clear abstractions. You've got n networks You've got the physical network will call it network zero and then you've got networks one through n Which are the virtual networks and all of them will support standard tools and Standard interfaces, so if a can't talk to be you take your SNMP sniffer and you pointed at virtual network that they're connected to and then If it's a physical problem you take the same tools and you apply it to the physical problem to the physical network Okay, so that kind of gets us back to where we are But I actually believe that you can go with network virtualization because you're at the edge I think you can go way beyond what we can do today And so this is one of the pet projects that I'm working on actually all of the ones I'm going to talk about are pet projects. I'm working on so they're kind of deer and deer to my heart But let me start on this one. So this is actually a Dashboard for our internal open-stat cloud that we use for development and for labs and all sorts of stuff This is VC ops, which is a it's a VM or tool I'm just using VC ops to show you like the virtual networking system. I work on what's exposed as an API Nothing. I'm talking about is specific to product. I just want to talk about network virtualization in general These are just slides to kind of provide a Visual demonstration of what I'm talking about so on the left. Those are virtual networks We've got I don't know 10,000 of them or something like that and every one of these has a different topology So it could be L2. It could be L3 you could have low balance or firewalls. It's all sharing the same physical infrastructure If the dot is green Things seem to be pretty good. If the dot is red. There's a connectivity issue and the dot is yellow There's some threshold that was crossed and I'll talk about that in a second On the right you actually have the topology for actually I'm not you probably can't see but one of these was actually showing the virtual topology And then right below that is all of the things we track things like whatever it's latency rx counters tx counter so forth And this is like network-wide And so for a lot of the a lot of the The clouds that I've worked with like the way to determine if there's a problem as you wait for the phone to ring Right. It's actually very difficult to determine if there is an issue But the idea is because you own the edge and you see all traffic going over and you have to monitor this anyways And you have an overlay. There's no reason why you can't proactively check all of the stuff and monitor it in real time There's no reason why I can't give you like a full dashboard and this is independent of a virtual network system You have of the entire system Not only that you should be able to like map from this virtual realm down to the physical realm So let's say you're like, okay I'm having a latency issue here where my latency has gone up and I don't know why There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to then map down to the physical world and ask questions about the physical world Like which paths is it taking so actually for example this picture on the bottom is a heat map of the physical fabric Again, we have to maintain all this state anyways. That's what virtualization is. I mean virtualization is always this like I've got a It's actually always an array right you know It's like I've got like a physical address space and I've got virtual address spaces that mapped onto it in real time And I have to maintain that mapping so I already have it whether this is virtual memory or file system I have all of the translations that I need and I'm monitoring all of those so I can provide you a global view of them Whether it's for the physical address space or the virtual address space And so this picture is to demonstrate that you should be able to drill from virtual view down to physical view and then the opposite from a physical view up to a virtual view and you should have full fidelity like the ability to see all of the counters and all of the bytes at the right level of abstraction and Like the ability to piece together a global view is is very difficult networking because you have difficulties with global consistency Right like networking is built around eventual consistency. It's very difficult to be like here's my network state at time x And this is not something networking has had traditionally in the distributed consistency model It's always been like well if something changes and after a period of time, I'll give you an answer But while it's changing you never have consistent views virtual networking you have to maintain this array You have to maintain virtual the physical mapping it has to be consistent so that can become the basis of any sort of visibility Okay, here's another one of my pet projects performance optimization via elephant detection Okay, very quick data center theory Okay, so in in a data center most of the time when people measurement measure it The vast vast vast majority of flows if you're looking at flows are small and we call them mice The vast majority of packets are Actually in large flows and those are called elephants So the classic example is mice are often these kind of real latency sensitive bursty things and then someone will migrate a VM or do a backup or transfer a file So this is actually one of the biggest performance issues in data centers is this dichotomy and let me explain why there's actually two problems the first one is TCP is really good at filling buffers. That's what it was designed to do And so if you have a very long lived flow it likes to fill buffers and so end-to-end you'll have all of these nice buffers filled Now if you've got very latency sensitive traffic and it's going through the same path It's going to take all of the queuing delay Right, so now if I have something very latency sense of it sharing the same buffer like anything That's kind of interactive or latency sensitive is actually going to become a performance problem very classic problem in data centers It's called elephants trampling on mice The second problem is mice are bursty They're very bursty. They're so bursty. You can't do anything smart with them You can't adaptively write in that route mice if you do if you're like trying to do something smart with them Like adaptive routing like by the time you've made a decision is probably no longer relevant Which is why almost everybody relies on ECMP multipathing If you do hash-based multipathing is stateless it uses randomization and you're always within a factor of two of optimal So that works great for mice for mice hash-based multipathing fantastic for elephants. It's horrible Because since you don't have any knowledge about the elephants and there aren't very many of them The algorithm can map two to the same link and now you've underutilized your fabric So these are the two problems with elephants and mice right you introduce latency and then you can suboptimally use the fabric So there's all sorts of proposed solutions for this right like and they're all really simple If I can identify elephants and mice throw them in separate queues. I've solved the latency issue I'll just use DSCP, but just for code point. That's easy I'm going to continue to use hash-based multipathing on mice because I can guarantee that's near optimal And for the elephants I'll actually do something smart like I will route them per flow and make sure that they don't share the same length Good I can oh Oops, this is wrong. So I should be able to turn elephants into mice not mice and elephants So one thing I could do is I could take the elephants and I actually could split them up by modulating the ephemeral port and turn them Into mice you have reordering issues But like modern-day TCP stacks are good with reordering like modern-day sack is actually pretty good with the reordering so maybe you don't care and Another one that's actually comes up a lot is like you know what I'm gonna have a different I'm gonna use a leaf spine architecture and in my spine I'm gonna have an optical spine that I'm gonna send all my elephants to so the mice will stay on my normal network and my elephants I'm gonna send on an optical spine So these are all good suggestions, but the problem is is traditionally a networking. It's very difficult to detect elephants very difficult to detect elephants fortunately, this is something that's very simple in in You know virtualized network environments, and so open v-switch is a project near and dear to my heart It's actually done per flow tracking forever like since the very beginning So there's no reason that you can't use the v-switch to track all of the flows and then based on either operator input or throughput tracking actually Detect whether something is an elephant and signal that to the fabric so you either mark it say say we decide this DSCP bit means elephant you can mark it on the packet or You can actually signal the fabric and say I've identified an elephant and here's the five tuple It's very very this is very difficult to do in hardware because of SRAM density issues. It's very easy to do in software on the edge And so we're working on on a project right now. It's total kind of skunk works fun Thing that that I'm just interested in doing which is within open v-switch exposing a column OVSDB which is all the heavy hitters that you have network-wide So for every for every server here's all your heavy hitters And we'll just use throughput as the metric to determine it and then you can have something like a centralized SDN controller of your favorite choice We'll go and we'll Network-wide globally will list like say the top 10 or the top five or whatever you want And that can actually signal to to the physical network to say here's an elephant do something smart with it Or just throw it in separate cues or whatever you decide to do make sense The bottom line is this is kind of been like one of these sticky problems and networking for a really long time and either you know What your elephants are or you're kind of screwed and like I think that there's a chance here because of the semantics We have in the edge and because we're in software in the edge We don't have SRAM density issues that we can actually solve it All right, so finally I'm going to talk a little bit about policy This one's gonna be a little bit more philosophical in nature So I talked about I think I think we can actually extend the state of the art and visibility and management I think we can really extend to the state of the art in performance in networking I think we can actually change the way you do networking Policy is a lot broader than networking, but it's a great place to have the discussion. So let me just describe So what is policy? So policy is just business logic applied to systems things like We never put apps from different BU's on the same network, right? These are things that people come up with that are written in documents That come from human beings that are applied to systems. That's what policy is and if you look at most Policy systems, they're generally a subset of data log Meaning you've got condition action just like sequel most policy engines look like this, right? So you're like, you know if if the user is martin and you know It's before 10 a.m. Then go ahead and the log the traffic because he never gets up that early, right? This is basically What policy systems do and they're almost always declared over site specific Namespaces and logic right it depends on the site So I got into this whole area actually from the policy side That's what I used to do is policy and the problem is in networking The way that you write policies you've got some policy That goes with policy compiler policy compilers kick off a connectivity matrix But mapping from that output to a physical network reduces to the network virtualization problem Right So this is totally not obvious to me early on but it actually reduces to the network virtualization problem Like if I have a connectivity matrix it assumes Effectively a flat network and if I'm mapping it down to an apology with enforcement points I have to solve the network virtualization problem. That's why most policy compilers either sock or they will constrain your topology heavily Or they will expose the topology up in the policy space, which is not what you want if I if I'm writing a document with a policy I don't want to declare it over a topology. I want it to be totally independent because it's a business thing Now this has been the state of policy for a very long time if you have something like Network virtualization you expose this idealized view for the policy compiler to write to so I have my high-level policy compiler I can write any sort of policy I want I compile it down to this Kind of platonic view this virtualized view and then the virtualization layer then maps it down to the physical topology And if any change happens in the physical network or whatever that's handled by the virtualization layer So now we can build these kind of real robust policy compilers like high-level integrate with ADL DAP Like like actual data log language compilers that will manage an entire network Like I think I can like manage all connectivity in an entire network from like one language spec But I think that you have to solve the network virtualization problem to do that Otherwise you end up trying to solve it in the compiler, which is too difficult So I actually think this is very important because policy is something you can't really automate away It's something that all users must use and so I think what's really important from a policy standpoint is that you've got broad ecosystem Meaning you know we so we go say we go through all of this efforts to to do open stack We automate away the provisioning interfaces You've disaggregated software from hardware and everybody's happy if you slap a policy Language on top of that that's from like say a hardware vendor or or even a software vendor that likes vertical integration and then It that since that's the top part of the stack You can now vertically integrate the entire stack through it And I actually think that the next big strategic battleground is around policy for exactly this reason So I think it's very important when we talk policy governance should be open totally open I think ecosystem should be totally huge and there's no IP and policy There's like we all know the technology here. There's nothing you are interesting So the most important thing is that we have an open governance model Which I think is why open stack is such a great forum for these policy discussions It's nice because there's a whole bunch of them happening There's one that we're gonna have on Wednesday at 440 Unfortunately, I'm actually in a couple hours going to Tokyo so I can't be there But many people will be there and I really encourage you to go and I'm basically Out of time. I don't think I've been have time for questions. So I think I'll end it there. So thanks so much guys
