Thank you. Thank you, Director General. Now we'll continue with our opening sessions that actually is seen as a setting the scene session. And our first speaker is Mr. Ku Dongyu, Director General of Food and Culture Organization of the United Nations. Dr. Ku took the office on 2019 as Director General of FAU, fully engaging with HAU to eradicate hunger worldwide. Before coming to FAU, Ku served as a China Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, where one of his achievements was to promote inclusive and innovative development. Recognized for a scientific innovation as a young scholar, who has for 30 years been involved in international exchange and orchestrated major events, including international conference on plant protection and participating in multilateral initiative such as the World Trade Organization and the G20, as well as numerous bilateral initiative. He's also directly helped design flagship South-South cooperation project with FAU and the World Bank. Mr. Ku, the floor is yours. Thank you, moderate, dear, my colleague Antonia, ladies and gentlemen, good morning from Iran. Thank you for the importance of the food security and the climate change to the environment, especially those immigrants from the climate change, and both are closely connected to FAU's mandate to fight hunger, improve the food security, and the rural poverty, promote the sustainable management of natural resources, in spite of the hopes that the world would emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the food security would begin to improve, number of people affected by the hunger rose to as many as 828 millions in 2021, and increased about 190, 150 million since the outbreak of the pandemic. Around 2.3 million people in the world were moderately or severely food insecure in 2021, meaning they did not have access to adequate food. Close to 1 billion people are at risk of farming in the vulnerable countries. Well, at the same time, 3.1 billion people cannot afford a health diet. Through the insecurity, migration and displacement are the closely interconnected. 80% of the world displaced people are in the countries or territories affected by the acute food insecurity and malnutrition, and that face the climate risk and other disasters. The impacts of the climate crisis continue to negatively impact the food security through the extreme weather events and slow onset changes. The intergovernmental panel on climate change assessment points out that increased weather and climate extremes have already exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity and reduced water security. Climate-exposed sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture and others are those most affecting. For example, five consecutive failed raining cities have led to the most severe drought in the recent history of the south and east part of the Aesopia, affecting the fragile livelihood of about 10 million people who are already food insecure. Slow onset changes in climate and weather patterns are also affecting agricultural system agro-environment and the people's livelihood. Productivity has been declining in the many countries due to the changes in temperature, severe weather and droughts. Rural people are most vulnerable as their livelihoods depend on local productivity by local natural resources. Irrigately, rainforests affected and unfaired a culture on the more than 80 percent of the cultivated land in the world, even in Europe during these years. Climate change is also affecting the posturalist and the fishing communities. Rural people have a few opportunities and resources to adapt and change the climate and repeat the exposure to the climate events increases the risk of poverty if without the resilience building and the investment. This is the placing a lot of pressure to migrate to the forcible displaced or trapped in the high risk area unable to move. F.O. is working with rural populations to address the adverse drivers of immigration and to ensure that immigration is their choice instead of necessity. This includes mitigating the negative impacts of the climate crisis on the rural livelihoods, creating alternatives to migration and the strengthening and disciplinary actions to avert the risk of the displacement. Recognize the rural areas by the greatest the better in the hosting larger numbers of the displaced people on one third of F.O. emergency and the resident foundation is located to address the challenges of the forced displacement since I came three years ago as a F.O.D.G. F.O. helps rural communities to better manage the climate related risks by promoting climate adaptation practices, the sustainable use and the management of natural resources under restoration of degrading the systems. In the Salvador, for example, where the changes in ways and the climate conditions are affecting agricultural production and pushing farmers to migrate, F.O. is working with the government to protect water resources for 1 million people and enhance the climate resilience of 50,000 small-holder farmers. Dear colleagues, it is important to also to see the migration as a potential positive force for the green transition and for the development of the green agricultural systems. The investment in migrants and the diaspora and the transfer of skills and knowledge in the climate resilience in the livelihood and climate smarter technologies can contribute to the promoting green agricultural business and the input access to the food. New pathways for the resilience should also look at the creating enabling conditions to harness the potential of migration for climate change adaptation in the area for region transit and destination. In this regard, F.O. has developed together with the United Nations, a global guide and two key to facilitate the integration of the human mobility into the national adaptation plans and the nationally determined contributions from the rural livelihood perspective. Evidence suggests that if government repurposes the resources they are using to incentivize the production supply and the consumption of the nutritious food, this will lead to a making half the dance more affordable and equitable for all. Governments need to urgently reexamine the agricultural trade and market interventions such as sub-stories and to ensure that the international trade continue to operate smoothly. Investing in the agricultural systems transformation and the long-term responses are is a key to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems to risk including conflict, extreme weather, event, economic shocks. Addressing the infrastructure and the input supply bottlenecks is critical to an efficient food supply system. In fact, when the sustainable food supply, in fact, when the sustainable support to the small-holder farmers will be vital to ensure they are part of the solution and to localize the supply chance. This calls for multi-sector approaches and enhance the collaboration between policy actors at all levels. F.O. with its unique technical expertise make an important contribution to bridge migration in culture and climate stakeholders. It allows a mutual platform and leveraging its wider presence on the ground for the concrete result. Here are the qualities. We need to concert the efforts to achieve the more efficient, the more inclusive, more resilient and the most sustainable ecosystem to achieve our collective goals of the four factors at the country level, at the region level, at the global level. That is better production, better nutrition, a better environment, better life for all living no one behind. These objectives are set out in the effort strategy from work of 2020 to 2021 and we stand ready and firmly to work with the partners by hand in hand initiatives. Together we can achieve these goals in support of 2030 agenda and the sustainability of our goals. As thank you very much. Thank you, Director General. Now our next speaker at the opening session is actually will give us a video intervention online and this is the Director General of Health Organization, Mr. Tedros Adhanum Gabrielsus. Dear colleagues and friends, climate change threatens health on multiple levels. Displaced people are hit especially hard. Climate change affects the fundamental factors on which all health depends on air, water and food. It kills directly through heat waves, floods and droughts. And it can damage critical infrastructure leaving millions without health services. The catastrophic floods in Pakistan are a painful example of this. Warmer and water conditions make it easier for businesses including malaria, dengue, calcolera and dialysis to spread. Climate change threatens food security and nutrition. The millions facing famine in the greater Horn of Africa are a testament to this. The disruptive effects of climate change have forced millions to migrate. This exacerbates preexisting health inequalities. We must act to protect the physical and mental health and well-being of refugees and migrants. First, through building climate resilient and migrant sensitive health systems. Second, by including human mobility and health in national climate change action plans. And third, by taking a migration and health in all policies approach including food security. We need radical action to safeguard the health of the planet on which all life depends. I thank you. Thank you, Director General. Now we have another participant who is online with us. This is Mr. Yanis Lenarchic. He's European Commission for Crisis Management since 2019. Prior to that, Mr. Yanis was the permanent representative of Czechoslovakia to the EU in Brussels, State Secretary for European and Foreign Affairs in the Office of the Prime Minister in Ljubljana. Mr. Yanis has also been the Director of the OSCE, Office of Democratic Institution and Human Rights in Warsaw, State Secretary the head of the government for the European Affairs in Ljubljana and Ambassador and permanent representative of Slovenia and OSCE in Vienna. Mr. Lenarchic, the floor is yours. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to thank the international organization for migration for bringing us together today. Director General Vittorino, I would also like to thank you personally. Your opening remarks underscore the acute challenges facing some of the most vulnerable people in the world. More individuals have displaced from their homes now than at any other time in history. And we are seeing a complex interplay of crisis and threats driving people away in search for safety and protection, conflicts, food insecurity, water scarcity, climate change, disasters, and the lease goes on. Last week I was in Ukraine where the appalling suffering caused by the war will soon be overlaid by an additional enemy, winter. There are over 6 million IDPs in Ukraine. There are more than 7 million refugees from Ukraine who have been registered in Europe. At this critical time, our priority focus in Ukraine is to strengthen winterization. But in addition to conflicts, climate change is increasingly becoming a key driver of displacement. Earlier this month, I visited the flood-affected communities in Pakistan. With one third of the country under water, almost 8 million people were forced to live in displacement settings. Meanwhile, Nigeria was also hit by its worst flooding in a decade, which killed more than 500 people and displaced close to 1 million. We're also seeing the impact of slow onset events, such as droughts, which erode the livelihoods of communities until there is no other option but to live. This is what is happening in Somalia, where after four consecutive failed rain season, famine looms yet again. And similar situations are unfolding in the Sahel, in Yemen, and in other countries around the world. So what is the European Union doing to help address this crisis and the displacement that they are causing? At home, we are providing protection to the most vulnerable refugees by offering legal pathways to Europe. Since 2015, EU resettlement programs have helped more than 100,000 refugees find shelter in the European Union. They are now able to start a new life in safety and dignity. As part of our humanitarian programs, we are offering much needed assistance to those who have been displaced, both within their own countries and across borders. In the Sahel and the Lake Charles region, for example, the EU is mobilizing 40 million euros in emergency humanitarian funding. With this funding, we are providing food, water, shelter, and basic healthcare. In parallel, we are also looking to tackle the overlapping causes of displacement. For example, when food insecurity and climate risks meet, we provide humanitarian food assistance. And in parallel, we strengthen our support to local, sustainable, and resilient food systems. We are also adapting our humanitarian response to the impact of climate change, striving to act before disasters strike. We are progressively mainstreaming preparedness and anticipatory action throughout our EU-funded humanitarian operations. This year, we are chairing the Platform on Disaster Displacement, which will allow us to strengthen global coordination and action in areas where we need to act together. But we know that much more needs to be done by all of us. On this, allow me to share three points. First, we need to do more to close humanitarian funding gap. 64 percent of the world's humanitarian needs are unmet. For too long, we have been relying on a very small number of donors to provide the bulk of displacement, food, and climate-related aid. This is not sustained. We need to widen the donor base. Together with its member states, the European Union is inviting donors to increase their humanitarian aid budgets. This year, to date, almost 10 billion has been raised through dedicated pledging events, including for Sahel, all of Africa, Syria, and others. All of this is helping to support the world's most vulnerable communities, including displaced individuals and internally displaced persons. Second, we must continue our work on protection and international humanitarian law. Too many displaced people still remain without access to aid. The international community also needs to protect all displaced people, especially those individuals at risk of unsafe returns. And third, we must work on building resilience at local level. By strengthening cooperation between humanitarian and development actors, the nexus, we can support resilience and help countries withstand shocks, and ultimately break the cycle of disasters, destruction, displacement, and the debt. To conclude, ladies and gentlemen, the European Union is determined to support every effort to tackle the overlapping crisis facing our world, and to ensure displaced people get the assistance they need wherever they may find themselves. But we can only do this by working together. And this is why I really thank again to the IOM for organizing this dialogue. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Van Ertige. Our next speaker, actually in our next video statement, is coming from the Designate Egyptian President from the COP 27. His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, Mr. Samach Shoukri. Mr. Antonio Beatorino, Director-General of the International Organization for Migration, Excellency's distinguished participants. It gives me great pleasure to participate in the second session of the International Dialogue on Migration that addresses one of the most pressing challenges the world is facing today, namely the nexus between climate change and mobility. Climate migration became a reality that has been increasingly recognized as a key global policy issue which requires coherent and long-term solutions. Frequent and destructive disasters result in the displacement and forced migration of millions of people globally every year. In parallel, slow onset environmental degradation of ecosystems and loss and the implications of human-induced environmental changes can trigger displacement and undermined livelihoods and exasperates tensions in many parts of the world. The impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on migratory movements are felt in all regions of the world. Yet it is important to acknowledge the differentiated impacts depending on contextual factors such as economic, social, political, environmental, and personal circumstances. Statistics also show that displacement caused by disasters worldwide is more than double that caused by conflicts. With this bleak situation in mind, we cannot afford to be by standards. Major and urgent political efforts to mitigate climate change are critical to avert the most devastating consequences of this crisis on people and their environment. There is a need for a holistic, inclusive, and collaborative approach at national, regional, and global level with a view to promoting a more climate resilient and migrant inclusive society and economy. In my capacity as the COP 27 President-designate, we will seek to focus on enhancing implementation in order to set up rigorous and focused climate actions in cooperation with all relevant stakeholders. We need to ensure greater synergies between the global compact for migration, the Paris Agreement, the Sendai framework for disaster risk reduction, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to scale up action on climate change and migration, which places primarily emphasis on the well-being and rights of all humans without discrimination, enhance regular pathways for safe, orderly, and regular migration through fair recruitment that respects human dignity, as well as ensuring that migration remains a choice, not a necessity. Funding gaps must be addressed to help mobilize the necessary resources for disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation, and adaptation, early warning systems, and long-term development programs. There is also a need to discuss predictable finance aligned with global climate commitments and the principles of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities to respond to current and future mobility scenarios in the context of the adverse effects of climate change and environmental degradation. Moreover, climate and environmental migration is a multi-causal phenomenon that requires comprehensive responses from different policy areas. Therefore, adopting a holistic governmental and societal approach is key to ensure that no one is left behind. Last but not least, we need a paradigm shift on humanitarian programming and funding for climate-induced mobility given the protracted nature of such crises. Short-term solutions aren't effective or economically sound. Response should adapt to tackle the compounding challenge and bolster resilience. More emphasis should be placed on developmental peace nexus to ensure sustainability and coherence in international efforts and pro-authorization in disaster preparedness. Excellencies, distinguished participants, before I conclude, I would like to highlight three issues that the COP 27 presidency elevated to the top of climate change agenda as they are essential to protecting livelihoods and preventing displacement whilst ensuring a green transition for our world. First, water security. Unpredictability of water cycles caused by severe problems such as water stress, displacement and conflict over resources with a continued lack of adaptation capacity, resilience, financial means and foresight planning and international and regional cooperation. Adaptation in the water sector becomes critical to how successful we address the effects of climate change. The action for water adaptation resilience initiative represents a call to address water as key to climate change adaptation and resilience. Second, food security. Agri-food systems are increasingly impacted by climate change. However, improving these systems offers a unique opportunity to address climate change by building resilience across these systems while reducing emissions. The food and agriculture for sustainable transformation initiative aims to be an accelerator to transform agri-food systems, drive effective actions and avoid duplications. Third, climate response for sustaining peace initiative focuses on the climate displacement, peace nexus and aim at discussing innovative ideas to advance durable solutions and accelerate climate finance for sustaining peace. The initiative will be implemented through activities on the policy, knowledge and operational fronts to strengthen resilience and address existing gaps. I believe that the COP 27 meetings that will start in a few days in Sharma Sheikh will provide a timely opportunity to reflect on how to shape response to the related challenges because we cannot continue to do business as usual since failure to act in a coordinated and preventive manner to mitigate and adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and to address displacement and its root causes could undermine peace, stability and prosperity in countries of origin and destination alike. I thank you. Our last speaker on our opening session is here with us in person. This is Mr. Abdi Rakhman, Abdi Shakur, Special Presidential Member for Drought Response in Somalia. Honorable Abdi Rakhman, Abdi Shakur was appointed as the Federal Government of Somalia Special Presidential Member for Drought Response by the President of Somalia in May 2022. He was chief negotiator for the Alliance for the Real Rebellation of Somalia at the Djibouti Conference, which led to the formation of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. When the first post-transitional government was set up back in 2012, he was appointed to the Senior Policy Advisor to the President and in 2014, the Special Envoy, just the United Nations Assistant Mission in Somalia as a Special Advisor to the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Somalia. Mr. Abdi Rakhman, please floor is yours. Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, this IDM will be timely in the lead-up to the 27th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Confinition of Climate Change COP 27, taking place in Egypt. I am building on the successful outcome of the first international migration review forum to strengthen action to address complex interlinks between climate change, food security, and human mobility. I thank IOM for organizing this conference and inviting me to this crucial dialogue. Food insecurity is a growing global challenge and it's becoming a greater cause to displacement and migration. With only eight years left to achieve the sustainable development goal of zero hunger, one in ten people do not have enough to eat. Boffert, growing population, diseases, conflict, climate change, and change to the global economies and geopolitics are belaying key role in the global food emergencies. According to the IBCC climate crisis could lead, at least 183 million people facing hunger by 2050. Dear colleagues, hunger could become a negative pandemic. A warming planet affects how food is growing and distributed. A number of climate change-related disasters like extreme heat, drought, and flood has doubled since the early 1990s. Harvest has been shrinking and crops ravaged by the best, like, enormous locus that devastated the land of Africa and particularly in my country, Somalia. Drought costs, harvests to foil, repeatedly bringing nation's crop production down to 70 percent and the death of more than three million livestock. The climate change intensifies, the temperature rises, food crisis will become the norm rather than the exception. Ukraine has shown how disruption to the critical food production regions can have severe knock-on efforts across the globe, felt muslin keenly by the developing and poorer countries as well. According to the World Bank, global food prices are on track to rise 23 percent this year, having already risen 31 percent in 2021. Climate change is also making food less nutritious. The oceans are affected too. As water gets warmer, it is forcing fish that prefers certain temperatures to move to new areas. Today, around half of Somali's population are food insecure. More than one million people have displaced by the drought, which is worse in 40 years. Half of million children are facing acute malnutrition. The country is on the brink of the farming. Every cycle of drought and farming creates another mass disabilisement and new IDPs. As such, it will significantly contribute to the international migration in the Horn of Africa and to the Gulf regions. Food insecurity is not only a driver of migration, but it's also the threat to Somali's peace and stability by leading to increased intercommunal filings, rise in jailed marriages, gender-based filings, and youth for an ability to the recruitment by the extremist group. Over the past months, I have been traveling to different capitalists in North America and Europe to seek strengthening partnership with the government and Somali diaspora, hoping to urgently prevent infighting and mitigate a growing catastrophe before hundreds of thousands of people die. And Somalia's hard-worn political and security achievement will be revised by this crisis and before our full potential has been realized. I thank our partners for their ongoing support. But the situation in my country demands meaningful investments in infrastructure, technology and renewable energy, food and green energy production, sustainable farming, fishing, forestry, and water management practices, which is a key to building resilience in our communities in order to adapt and mitigate the effect of the climate change. I must say that our government cannot do alone. We need to support and voice from all our partners, friends, and donors. At the regional level, Somalia was one of the countries to endorse the compiler ministerial declaration on migration, environment, and climate change, which outlines East Africa's combined ambition to prioritize, respond, to a galvanized global support for taking climate change-induced migration and displacements. Climate change is not going to stop anytime soon, nor is migration. We need to diversify food production across diets, supply chains, and markets, and address the in-depthness, economic inequalities, and market distortions that have contributed to the current crisis. We need a coordinated effort across all sectors to rethink and repair our food system, making them more equitable, more resilient, and more responsive in times of great need. We need destination countries to acknowledge that there are labor markets due in fact to need people by bringing them out of the shadows into the safety and regular immigration status. Happening for the first time in Africa next to COP 27 is a key opportunity to gain support from the international community to break cycle Somalis out of this ongoing cycle of crisis. In Somalia, and I'm sure this is the case for many other countries, we need access to climate justice fund to help us make the urgent change need to protect our communities. Ultimately, we need global leaders to jump beyond climate action to reduce the shocks that we're already feeling. We need polluting countries to cut their emissions so that the goal of the Paris Agreement can be achieved. Helping vulnerable families co-op with the climate change will bring us closer to the ending hunger in Somalia and other countries of the continent. To our country becoming a contributor to the food security and sustainable energy production and ensuring that stability, life and livelihood opportunities are available for our young people at home. Finally, I thank IOM for not only hosting us and bringing us together in this forum, but also as a realable partner for Somali government and particularly for my office. I thank you very much. Thank you our last speaker and opening session and now I would like to give the possibility to those that are still with us to give a final thought and final message for us to work on in the next two days. We still have EU commission on Linearchic online and I would like to give them the floor first to give us the message around which we should focus a little bit more the next two days. Mr. Linearchic, please. Do we have him still online? Okay, then I would like now to come back to Mr. Abri Ahmad for the final message to us. I thank you again for having and bringing us together for this critical dialogue. It seems to me that as I outlined my speech and my remarks that food insecurity is impacted by the global other global challenges, if 2020 was the year of the coronavirus pandemic, our concern and fear is that maybe 2022 or 23 is becoming the pandemic of the food crisis. So I think we really need to have a dialogue and critical dialogue and how can we address this issue before it comes to a pandemic and we felt the food importance of food security out of the coronavirus and as well as the green crisis has shown us that how the world is interlinked and it impacts to each other and it can have impacts even the developed countries. They also felt as our poorer countries how the food security are very important and we need to invest in that. Also as coming from Somalia where four consecutive rainy season has failed because of the climate change and the entire Hanoi Africa are facing that drought and extreme heat that only can be dealt with not short-term humanitarian assistance but we need to be addressed the root cost of this crisis with the climate change unless we have the opportunity for our communities to have build their resilience in order to adapt the extreme weather and mitigate the fallout of the climate change. We will continue facing that food insecurity and humanitarian crisis. So I'm calling again that we need to invest and building the resilience and building and mitigating the climate fallout and that cannot happen and cannot be done by the countries that are affected by the climate change unless we get and have access to the climate justice finance and have access to the funding that's been allocated to address the climate impacts and I call again we have to stand for and unite our effort to bring that critical issues on the coming COP 27 in Cairo. Thank you again. Thank you sir and I will actually refer to Antonio Vitrino director general of IEM. Mr. Vitrino please. Thank you so much. I will start by thanking all the panelists. I think that in order to set the scene we had a very broad spectrum of testimonies about the challenges that we are confronted with. The issue of food security is a critical issue today and it will be an even more critical issue tomorrow. In my take today we are above all confronted with a problem of distribution and rising of prices. Unfortunately due to the conflict in Europe and due to the impacts of climate change a little bit everywhere in the world next year we will head to the problem of distribution a significant problem of production. Of being able that the agro production worldwide is capable to met the needs of the people all over the world and therefore I think that one of the focus on food production and food distribution is critical to guarantee that we are capable to cope with the humanitarian catastrophes that we are witnessing be it because of conflict because of floods because of drought of slow onset environmental degradation. My second point is about the need to give visibility and raise awareness for the urgent need of adaptation mitigation and disaster risk reduction. In fact those actions require support transfer of technology and investment and our firm belief is that if we do not do it now it will be much more costly in the future in terms of human lives in terms of humanitarian crisis in terms of social uproar. So the priority for COP 27 is to call the attention of the international community for the urgent need of focusing on adequate human capital technological transfer and financial support for adaptation mitigation risk reduction and building the resilience of the communities because the communities that are more impacted by climate change do not want to move they want to go on living on the places where they live but when they are forced to move they do it against their will and for the time being the forced displacement because of climate change is above all internal displacement. We are witnessing a large number of internally displaced people some of them will be able to return back to the regions of origin others will not be able to return to the regions of origin but for both of them those return and those who are not able to return we need to find durable solutions and the challenge is what kind of hope and perspectives for the future can we give to the people that are forcibly displaced because of climate change and at the end of the day migration is only one part of the narrative but in some cases if people are internally displaced if they don't find durable solutions they will go on moving they will go on moving and sooner or later they will cross an international border and they will become international migrants IOM is very much focused on monitoring these situations on identifying the places where the risk is higher and trying to mobilize the international support to the governments and the local authorities and the civil societies to cope with the challenges of climate change so we look very much forward to your insights during these your debates during three days during these two days to help us preparing for COP 27 and for our programmatic action in the future thank you so much for to the panelists again and here I conclude my opening remarks thank you thank you to director general and all opening speaker for setting the scene now we'll just quickly change our scene for the panel one and we are starting with the panel one of our work just a small technical note for those that would like to speak and actually would like to intervene after the panel one will be possible after the opening session was not foreseen therefore whoever asked for the floor after the opening session will be given the floor after the panel one thank you


I was asked to talk about economic empowerment and I think it's gonna be different than the last presentation, last two presentations a bit because I think I'm gonna talk about sort of programs for adolescent girls in the context of recovery in the case of Liberia from conflict but I think what's emerging and I'll come to this at the very end is thinking about how these programs can help women deal with with the effects of conflict as they experience it or or other crises and I'll come back to that. Alright so just a bit of motivation for focusing on adolescent girls in Sub-Saharan Africa for those of you who don't know this there's there's a lot of youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is the population pyramid of Uganda compared to more developed countries. Uganda really looks like a pyramid, the rest of the world doesn't anymore. When we look at girl young women relative to young men they're less likely to be working. You hear a lot of policy makers talking about unemployed young men but but girls are less likely to be working. The third fact is in here's Uganda again they're they're more likely to be having children younger so the bottom two parts of this graph are the young people and you can see relative to elsewhere in Uganda the fertility rate is is is quite high. So you take all these facts and then you put it together with with a number of particularly Sub-Saharan Africa specific issues in terms that are present in adolescents. HIV risk, sexually transmitted infections. Then there's this global issue which is true in the US as well as in Uganda that early motherhood is going to change the economic trajectory of a woman and then you compound it with gender specific issues on labor market entry. So there's some evidence that that women entering the labor market are going to have smaller networks and access to information about jobs and that high fertility is is going to be compounded by a domestic work burden that's going to limit their options. Okay so range of things that make us think that we want to think about a program that's that's targeted at some of these issues and needs to take into account these constraints but then that maybe suggests that we shouldn't just do you know just normal vocational training and think of of a more multifaceted program that tackles other issues at the same time. And I'm going to compare two programs today one of which focuses more on these complimentary interventions than the other. But before I get to those two programs just a quick review of what we know from the literature then the summary of the slide is not much. So I'll spare you all the different things. I think one thing that's interesting coming out of the work in Latin America where there's more evidence in terms of rigorous evidence is that some kinds of programs particularly when they make special allowances in terms of mobility and daycare seem to work better for women than for men. That's the conclusion you could probably draw from some of the Latin American evidence. But there's still very large questions about how these programs work outside of Latin America and different kinds of programs in different contexts. So pretty not a huge amount of evidence for policymaking in this area. Alright so today I'm going to talk about two programs. The first is an EPAG program. Don't ask me what the acronyms mean. There's some adolescence empowerment. This is a $4 million program that was funded through the World Bank's Adolescent Girls Initiative. It targets girls 16 to 27 and there are two tracks. One is a job or business skills, sorry, one is a wage work track. So to get to a wage job and the second is the business start your own business track. One key feature of this program is that the providers who were not the government, they were NGOs and private entities, they were highly incentivized on job retention. So they were paid a lot of their payment if the girls had jobs after six months. There was a life skills component. I think the second program I'm going to show you has more on that side and you'll see differential impacts for that. The second program is the ELA program run by the NGO Brack in Uganda. It targets girls 14 to 20 of three main components that I'm going to talk about today. One is a safe space. So there's a club house in the village or in the community where the girls can hang out. No boys allowed. The second is a set of life skills training which really run the gamut from household negotiation to reproductive health. And a lot of time was spent on that. The third is a livelihood training, much lighter than the Liberia program. Liberia program is much more in the vein of traditional labor market training. But in Uganda, these were very localized. So the girls were trained based on local market conditions and they were also not every girl in the same club was trained on the same thing. So you didn't have 10 new vegetable sellers in your village. So what we did is we're coming into this adolescent girls advocacy space, which is filled with a lot of advocacy. But as I said, there's not a lot of evidence. So what we're trying to bring to the space is some more evidence. So we did randomized control trials with working with these with these programs. In both cases, in Uganda, this was at the village level. Liberia was cohorts over time. And we collected a whole range of data from these girls. In Uganda, we did actually now we've done three interviews two years apart. We're about to do maybe a fourth. And I can talk about that. There's some interesting mobility impacts of the program that we're still trying to understand. And Liberia was two interviews one year apart. And looking at not just employment, but you'll see SGBV outcomes, you'll see you'll see expenditure health outcomes as well. All right. So the results skip the longer description of what we did. In Liberia, there's a there's a marked increase in employment went up 47% for these girls earnings went or these young women earnings went up by by $32 per month, which is about 80% of what they were making at baseline. The effects are much stronger in Liberia for the business skills. Stream of trainees rather than the job skills trainees. They also were saving more of their money, which went went up by a lot for them. In Uganda, we see we also see a big a big increase relative to the baseline, right? It's a smaller overall effect, but relative effect is bigger. In Uganda, this is again, mostly driven by the businesses starting your own business. What's interesting in Uganda is we asked about money they spent on themselves. So items that they themselves consume airtime, hairdressing, jewelry. And that went up by 38%. So more financial independence for these girls. Most of them, as compared to Liberia, most of the girls in Uganda were still in school, and they stayed in school, there's no effects on on education here. In Uganda, going beyond just the economic outcomes, girls are 26% less likely relative to the compare girls in the comparison villages to have a child. They're much more likely to say they always use a condom. And given that they're not changing any other contraception use, and the number of children they have as much lower, we kind of we think they are actually much more likely to always be using a condom. And the incidence of sex against their will drops by 41%. So here, here's a very complicated graph. But basically what it's capturing is the girls views of gender roles in the household. And everything that's circled in red, so higher levels of education, earning money, fetching water, feeding and bathing children are areas where the girls who were in the clubs were much more likely to say that this is jointly the risk equally the responsibility of a man and a woman. Okay, so there's a significant movement out in certain dimensions, looking after ill people washing, cleaning and cooking, and helping children with studies don't change. All right, but for, but in a number of these dimensions, these girls are more likely to say that these are, these are equal responsibilities. One other element that we've captured is looking at the reaction of their brothers. And their brothers are also changing their behavior in response to living in households with with more empowered girls. That's, that's a longer discussion. So I'm going to pass for now. In turn, in Liberia, we don't see much in the in the reproductive health realm. There's no change in actual or desired fertility, no impact on contraceptions, boyfriends or SGBV. We do see increases in self confidence and their satisfaction with job outcomes, though. So there's, there's movement on the psychologist psychological side. So question is what, you know, what are you how much against these returns? How much is the program costing? So in Liberia, Liberia is a significantly more expensive program. It costs about $1,600 for the job skills track per beneficiary 1200 for the business skills track, compared to other labor, you know, labor market programs, the Hovenas programs in Latin America, this is, this is about average. And then you can see that in terms of just their earnings, after two years in the business, after two years in having your own business, you recover the costs of the business goes track, given the lower benefits for job skills, it takes longer. And Uganda's, as I said, is a cheaper program and costs about $18 per year for to run this program, which is compared to the their annual expenditures on themselves is about 21%. So you can set this cost of $18 against the increased employment, the lower fertility, and also that very large drop in in sex against their will. So so those that's a summary of the results on the two programs. I'm happy to take questions about those when we when we open up later. We have two other pieces of analysis ongoing, which I think will help answer that question I posed at the beginning on translation to other contexts, and also the effect of different types of crisis on girls who've been through this program or girls who are in this program. So one is is in South Sudan. And it was interesting to hear all those presentation because we're seeing some similar patterns in South Sudan. And and here the results are really going to let us understand. So what happened was the program was had been discontinued before the 2013 conflict. So we'll be able to understand how girls who had been this through this program, whether the conflict or not. The early results suggest they had very different experiences than girls who who weren't in conflict. And they had different experiences than the effects that Ogil was talking about of conflict itself. In Sierra Leone, we have a slightly different situation where the program was actually interrupted for a while because of the Ebola crisis. So here, we're going to be able to answer questions about how the girls who went through varying degrees of exposure to the Ebola epidemic at the household and community level, how they came out the other side with and without the program. So that's it for me. Just to note that this is work based on a whole group of people, some of whom work in the Gender Innovation Lab. And you can find more on our website.


This is another fantastic opportunity to show the power of when the public sector, the private sector comes together and does real philanthropy. SE Health has been doing some amazing work all across the country, indeed across the globe and did dig a robbery to decide to do something right in their own backyard to help small businesses in the greatest time of need.  It was extremely humbling to go out to a restaurant, eat outside with plastic forks, plastic plates, plastic cups and it just made us remember and realize how important it is to really be together and be able to give back because at the end of the day that's what's most important. I mean, you got to be able to feel safe and not only, you know, personally but for your employees and wherever you work and wherever you go and this is obviously an important factor in that and so we wanted to be able to provide that, that comfortability, that safety for all the employees, for all the people, citizens for these masks and obviously we can deliver all of the other items for all the larger, you know, clients that we have and more importantly we want to be deliverable of the businesses.


Welcome back MechanicalEI. Did you know that an ER or Entity Relationship Model defines a data or information structure which can be implemented in a database? This makes us wonder, what is an Entity Relationship Model? Before we jump in, check out the previous part of this series to learn about what a database modeling is. Now, an Entity Relationship Model or Simply Put, an ER model is a graphical approach to database design. It uses entities and their relationships to present real-world objects. An entity is a thing or object in the real world that is distinguishable from the surrounding environment. For example, each employee of an organization is a separate entity. Entities are represented by means of their properties called attributes. All attributes have values. For example, a student entity may have name, class, and age as attributes. The association among entities is called a relationship. For example, an employee works at a department. Here, works at is called a relationship between employee and department. The ER model has the power of expressing database entities in a conceptual hierarchical manner. As the hierarchy goes up, it generalizes the views of entities. And as we go deep in the hierarchy, it gives us the detail of every entity included. Going up in this structure is called generalization, where entities are clapped together to represent a more generalized view. For example, a particular student named Mira can be generalized along with all the students. The entity shall be a student and further, the student is a person. The reverse is called specialization, where a person is a student and the student is Mira. Hence, we first saw what entity relationship model is and then went on to see what generalization and specialization are. So, here are the top mechanical EIs of our last videos. In the next episode of Mechanical EI, find out what an extended entity relationship model is.


Yeah, Amos where about you wow you as soon as we started broadcasting you just went But to answer your question, I'm in Alaska you're in Alaska. Oh, wow cool Okay, well I'm just gonna get that's the temperature Yeah, I just get excited when people are in cold places like me It's 51 Fahrenheit today. I'm sure that's like 13 Celsius something like that. Yeah, so that's kind of the same thing Who's father north I don't know It might be it might be a post-show discussion. We might have to yeah Yeah, look at some post-show I'm doing one thing and that's discussing with my sleep Yes, Patrick will be having the post-show with his pillow under. Yeah, um, I don't know. What's What's uh, I'm in wassilla, Alaska. So if there's any if you want to go If you want to do a little coordination thing whatever Yeah All right, Sarah. How you feeling? Hopefully I enough processes so that I sound and okay again It's just your internet Yeah, you froze right back up again. Um, I could restart chrome. Yeah, try it. Let's try it Yep, hmm. It's always something that ain't one thing. It's another Insert cliche here I'm glad we went live. Oh What's happening? What I don't know. I feel like Amos just froze. Oh and Sarah disappeared the Sarah was restarting chrome. So that that was a known bug That was a known issue.  No, I was actually just just about to hit the freak out button like oh now my and Sarah drops out in my internet Dies out. All right Let me start hijack again Okay application audio yep And Include audio input years Very good All right. All right back. Let's do this talk back Tuesday begins Uh, sir, could you read line three? I could all right. Will you? I Will okay good. Here we go. Three two Thanks to everyone who supports daily tech news show directly to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the daily tech news for Tuesday, August 14th 2018 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio fila and I am scooter Lane and From the land of wailing babies. I'm Patrick Bejo. Is that what they call Finland these days? Well, that's what they call my house Comes from the land of the wailing babies metal Finland rocker We're parents sobbing. Yeah, I apologize in advance to the audience because being object permanence and Trying to crawl makes for a difficult day in the Exactly Also with us Roger Chang out today with some some he's got a baby on the way He's got baby stuff happening associate producer Anthony Lemos aka Amos filling in. How's it going Amos? I am doing well if I can get my buttons to work here It's it's good to have you Roger's gonna be you know have it in a newborn Coming soon. So it's it's nice to have folks Filling in so that I don't have All right, let's start with a few tech things you should know Tenders co-founders and eight other former and current executives of the dating app are suing the services current owners match group and matches parent company IAC for two billion dollars in damages alleging that manipulation of the company's valuation Denied them billions of dollars that they were out The suit centers around an analysis of Tinder from 2017 made by banks Wall Street banks to set a value for stock options Received by Sean Redd a Tinder co-founder and other early employees It also includes an allegation of sexual harassment against Tinder's former CEO Greg Black. So they're swiping for their rights Facebook has aqua hired the seven-person vid presso team vid presso makes online videos more interesting Interactive with on-screen social media polling and comments graphics and live broadcasting Integrated with Facebook YouTube periscope and more terms on the deal weren't disclosed Vid presso clients and partners will still be able to use its services for Twitter light The data-saving version of the Twitter app is expanding to 21 more countries bringing the total to 45 Twitter light is designed to load faster on Slower network connections 2g 3g also less than 3 megabytes in size last November Twitter claim Twitter light led to a greater than 50% increase in tweets and noted that 80% of its then 330 million monthly users were outside the United States App is available as a free download on Google Play Microsoft is making its your phone app available to all users in the Microsoft store on Windows 10 right now It works with Android phones to drag and drop photos from a phone to a PC Syncing that text messages and notifications is still to come All right, let's talk a little more about secret meetings Patrick Insider reports that Apple is encouraging developers to transition to a subscription Software as a service model rather than a one-time purchase fee model sources say Apple had held an invite-only meeting in April 2017 for more than 30 developers to convince them to adopt the sub model I love this story because it plays both sides of the fence as far as news hook One is secret Mickey meeting in swanky Tribeca neighborhood of New York with developers What could it mean? But then it goes on to explain that well what it means is that you make a lot more money off subscriptions And Apple wants to make that an important part of their business So they're really trying to get developers that make one-off apps to do Subscription versions of their apps because it's going to be good for them and the developers Well in the business insider story You know, it sort of had a good analogy of certain apps are utilities or you know, you could like of them to a hammer Right, it's something hammered you use the hammer and it doesn't really have this sort of ongoing payment structure But it can of course you get creative enough. Of course, you can have subscription based apps What I find surprising about this is this is over a year ago So 30 developer 30 plus developers and one would assume is you know What Apple would deem? Good performers lots of potential for revenue for Apple, of course Because they're taking 30% cuts of these subscription models how we didn't hear about it all this time I mean, that was almost a year and a half ago Hmm. It's also It can combat the idea that you're gonna make an app you sell it and then you make version 2 or version 3 And that might also have to do with it in Apple's mind, you know It's just it's that it's the new model the new model of subscription as a service right or software as a service Sorry, where you you just say you install windows once and you'll always have the most up-to-date version You'll always have the most up-to-date version of office and Apple's trying to encourage developers to do that The New York Times Stacy Crowley has an article about banks using data on how you use their services as a way to stop Automated attacks and detect fraud Among the behavioral biometrics that can be analyzed are mouse movements Scrolling speed the angle you hold your phone The finger you use to swipe and tap and how much pressure you apply to the way you type Few companies disclose how and when the movements are tracked Some people worry though that private information like medical conditions could be detected via these these methods There are no regulations currently governing how it's used Yeah, I think it was a scottish bank was one of the only ones who'll even talk publicly about it. And that's the mistake Don't do what google and facebook did banking Be transparent talk about what you're doing how you're collecting it how you're storing it and what you're doing with it This is a fantastic idea theoretically This kind of mouse movement we're talking about 2,000 different singles singles here, right? They're correlating a lot of different stuff. This isn't just like oh, but what if somebody pretends They're me like their mouse. This is really hard to duplicate and it's very good for security And as I was about to say theoretically Could be used as a replacement for current authentication schemes if done right But it will get screwed if everybody sees it as a another data grab without people's permission It's I mean the data grab aspect is I think relatively limited um, the big issue obviously is individual Not replicable identification because if it's precise enough to Identify you I think some people might be worried that this is one thing they're using it for and then your kind of Fingerprinted or Behaviour printed. Yeah, who are you sharing this with who else has it? Yeah, totally Yeah, this Yeah, it's listen. I don't want anyone to swindle me out of money, right? So in theory all of this is A good thing I guess however When I think about the way that I might scroll or you know Depending on you know, how big of a hurry I am how much pressure I'm applying to you know, that's why I said there's 2,000 different signals here. It's not it's not it's really good at telling who you are Even if you're drunk or sleepy or whatever, right? Because it has a lot of different ways to look at this stuff Okay I can hear the skepticism All right Again like I again I I if if my bank is like something seems to be off here Sarah Lane It doesn't seem like it's you that just logged in and you know made a bunch of transactions or you know Clicked on stuff. I do want to know about that. I am very wary of anybody tracking my mouse movements Particularly if that doesn't lead to a click, you know, yeah, but mouse that's just one of the things It's it's the way you type the rhythm that you type It's it's so many things that are already shared with your browser all the time and that's why I say Transparency is key let people know this is all stuff We we're already getting and here's what we're doing with it What they're doing with it is the key Don't be giving it to third parties without permission. Don't be using it for anything except authentication Lock it down make it auditable. And this is actually a really good thing. Hey, just last thing Who else do you think is doing it amazon google lots of people could be doing it? I don't know that obviously that's going to be you know, like, oh, I bet they all are doing it I would doubt they're doing it But I would be surprised if they're not at least exploring it Well, I'm sure they're exploring it But I would worry more about in like third-party sites sites that are less in the public eye Doing this sort of thing. I'm learn from insider Do the the buzzy Behavioral tracking is the next big issue for private data Actually Nvidia graphics cards are the next big thing CEO Jensen Wang unveiled the company's new touring gpu architecture In a keynote at seagraph 2018 touring includes hybrid rendering which combines ray tracing with traditional rasterization Nvidia says the fastest touring parts can cast 10 billion rays per second Which is a 25 times improvement in ray tracing performance over the unaccelerated pascal Touring architecture also carries over the tensor cores from volta and supports a wide range of precisions like int 8 and in 4 precisions Nvidia announced that the upcoming quadro rtx 8000 rtx 6000 and rtx 5000 versions Will ship in q4 that rt is interesting It refers to Turing's rt cores for ray tracing which improves lighting effects in games and coincidentally patrick Nvidia also released a teaser video for its games con announcement next week with a bunch of hints In discord screenshots that led people to believe that Graphics processor announcement will be for something called the rtx 2080 And that's really interesting because the current line of consumer grade gpu's are gtx 10 something and they usually announced the higher Version the higher end version of that their new lines with the xx 80 model so they could be either doing gtx 2080 or maybe that rtx thing to put for the rt cores Very interesting. I've been waiting for this to maybe think about changing gpu's, but yeah Wait a bit more. The first one is usually super expensive. I mean, yeah the 8000 I think was quoted as like $10,000 so Oh of the of the touring platform. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's the pro version The other thing is will Cryptocurrency miners jump on it They're more and more going for specialized cards versus this, but it'll be interesting to see if that holds up still. Yeah Movie passes new plan launches august 15. Hey, that's tomorrow But some users who have cancelled have received emails indicating their cancellations have been revoked One email reads if you had previously requested cancellation prior to our opting in prior to opting in Your opt-in to the new plan will take priority and your account will not be cancelled Hmm Many people getting that email claim they did not opt in to the new plan and some say that you now can't cancel the subscription at all Movie pass told tech tech crunch. We have fixed the bugs that were causing the issue And have confirmed that none of our members have been opted in or converted to the new plan without their express permission So it sounds like just It was a fluke. It wasn't movie pass being like we can't lose subscribers.  I'm afraid Yeah, there was a huge bad buzz when they started not You know paying for what they should be paying for a few weeks ago This isn't helping. It's too bad because I mean movie passes cross companies, right? It's not just one Multiplex company that you can go to works through credit cards so it can be used at multiple chains It's not partnered with a specific chain, correct Right chains. Yeah. Yeah, because in France, we've had something similar but with we have two major movie chains And each one has their service and it works super well Yeah, and we now we have that here too. AMC has their a list and cinemark has their their program too, so I think movie passes days may be over NASA and freelancer.com have chosen early winners for the astro be challenge series meant to crowdsource a robot arm for that cute Astro be robot that'll be helping out on the international space station South african grad student Nino Wonderland produced an attachment mechanism Filipino conceptual engineer myrtle menzano made a smart attachment system and indian software engineer Amit Biswas developed a Simple deployment mechanism. There are nine more contests in the challenge before it wraps up in september And astro be a schedule to reach the international space station Sometime next year Cute robots.  So yeah cute robots with useful arms developed by Young brilliant minds. I like Hey, if I if I was living on a space station for any extended period of time or in space at all Which I'd never plan to do but who even knows I would want the robot to be as cute as possible I also like the fact that they went international for this. I mean the NASA went to multiple countries for a thing that's going to be used on the ISS. I think that's that's pretty cool Yeah, there is no eye. Well, no, there is an eye, but it stands for international To get all that tech headlines each day in about five minutes. Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com It's talk back tuesday We just made it up Yeah, we did because we got so many good emails from people yesterday and sarah and I were looking at them Like we can't not read a bunch of these, right? Yeah, I mean, listen, we get great emails every day But there are certain days like this morning where there's such a plethora. They deserve their own segment Let's start Not quite near you patrick, but closer than we are chris from trondheim, norway Uh 34 degrees Celsius warm south of spain. I don't know what chris meant by this I think what he meant was it's unseasonally warm in norway right now. It's almost spain-like in norway. All right, fine I'll take that. Uh chris chimed in on how buyers using realtors is very rare in norway We were talking about realtors on yesterday's show when browsing for a new house you use the newspaper online ads and such in norway It's always the seller's realtor that handles the paperwork together with you and your bank Of course, the whole buying situation is also different from other countries. I have found out here There is almost always an auction where bids go back and forth and the seller must accept the highest bid And most showings are open houses private showings are rare um Yeah, I mean the idea that the realtor would only be on the seller's side I mean, I guess that's if you're going to have one. That's probably the more important place to have it But but uh, but yeah, it's uh, it's interesting to hear especially from, you know Not only regions but places across the world are like, you know, you guys are all weird about red fin direct Selling to you know people who want to buy homes It doesn't work the way it works in the u.s. And a lot of other places I'm surprised by the auction system where the buyer has to accept the highest bid whatever that's to You know make it so the buyer can't Choose but I don't know it's go to it to prevent any kind of prejudice creeping in exactly I mean, you would need to be really prejudiced to take less money A Frenchman forget it. I'll take less money Yeah Well, I'm like highest bid and best bidder not necessarily the same thing depending on who's on the house, right? Well, that's the thing you can say I won't pay you as much But I'll let you stay in it for free for two months while you move out Or I won't I won't have an inspection contingency. So whatever condition it's in and I'll take it, you know, there's other things you can do like that Got another email from angel in Puerto Rico. This is concerning the story we talked about with Lamar Wilson yesterday on the hb all-in-one printer that was able to Basically get malicious code added to it via fax angel says I've got some thoughts on faxes and HIPAA which we mentioned yesterday if you're not familiar That's the health insurance portability and accountability act of 1996 in the us health insurance stuff angels company provides electronic health record or EHR software for medical offices And most of the offices are now using fax services that run in the cloud and are integrated directly into the EHR software That way the documents are included directly into the patient's record And you only need a scanner for outgoing faxes angel says that said The center for medicare and medicaid services has announced an initiative to eliminate legacy technology And that includes faxes. He links us to something we'll put in our show notes Angel says it's part of ensuring data portability, which was the main intent of HIPAA in the first place and eliminate legacy technology So faxes may be going the way of the dodo sooner than later Wait, they're gonna die out from hunting Well, I think you know movie pass the dodo You know, they may not be around much longer. What you're saying is the faxes are going to go the way of movie pass Movie pass isn't dead yet Not yet. Not yet. Uh, and yeah, anyway enough with movie pass. It's so easy to make fun of these pieces of technology and Yesterday, you're rightfully Put a whole bunch of caveats in in front of that fun making which was obviously warranted but you know, there are some we tend to forget in our world of constantly evolving newest coolest tech gadget that some Times tech is used for things that need to be super reliable And that work everywhere in systems that have been Designed a while ago. It's the case for this. It's the case where you know, uh, there are questions about voting systems There are infrastructure Uh, it that is still running on like old cobalt program and you're you can point and laugh But these things have reliant reliability as their most important highest, uh Priority so It's yeah, sometimes it's warranted. Yeah Uh, Anthony Colangelo has a call in follow up on the space force discussion from last week With a missing piece that wasn't touched on leadership Hey, this is Anthony Colangelo from the main engine cutoff podcast I really liked just in discussion of the budgetary concerns of space force But one thing he missed was the leadership concerns as well Space leadership has not made it to those high levels of the air force that have a seat at those highest level tables Where decisions get made in government space force is about Elevating that space leadership up to those highest levels so that they have a direct say In prioritization management and decisions about policy that affects space rather than it filtering through The air force structure. So that's something that's very important that I think can't be missed in the space force debate No, that's a really good point. Uh, I mean, this is oversimplifying it obviously but the joint chiefs of staff Are the heads of the major branches of the military and if space force was a branch They'd have a seat at that table, right? Got another email from Andy in Sydney And this is about google's location tracking discussion that we had yesterday and the fact that it's Sometimes kind of hard to find depending on who you are and he says here's an issue though That relates to the overall android experience. You can't use the google assistant at all if you turn this off You can't even complete the setup until you turn those settings back on Why is this necessary if I just want to set a timer? Maybe ask for the weather Also, you can't use a google home speaker with those privacy settings off It won't let you complete the setup period I ended up creating a throwaway google account just to use the google home that I got free with my pixel even basic Uh stuff like with the weather widget on my pixels home screen. It's gone It disappears when you turn off location history at least after a while Even though I have gps turned on they can't seem to figure out my location in order to show me the local weather They have my gps. They have my cell tower wi-fi addresses But they need my location history to tell me the weather where I am now I'm generally a big google and android fan, but this seems like too much and much of the time It's new my google home and google assistant used to work But a year ago without requiring access to my web activity and location history Used to be able to use the weather app now They've slowly been removing features from users that have additional privacy settings enabled Maybe they figure they make less revenue from me. So is that how they're justified in taking away these features? I don't know, but this feels wrong Something seems like a blatant way of bullying your customers into handing over data that they wouldn't otherwise Yeah, I these things should work even if you say don't store my history I have a feeling there may be some people again. Remember companies are made of a lot of different people there may be some people inside who are Under the cover of another reason pushing this for an agenda of being able to track and use the data It's I'm not going to discount that possibility On the other hand, there's probably a lot of engineers who are like look whenever we store something Even just for temporary use and we store it a little longer just to make sure it's still there when the app needs it Later we get in trouble because of privacy So we're making it a hard stop. You either let us store it for what we need to do with it Or we don't store it at all and you don't get to use that service. That's that's an engineering approach to a solution that doesn't Appreciate the nuance of the privacy situation and this is what we're all working through is you know up until a few years ago It was anything goes it didn't really matter what what you stored or where nobody cared as long as the stuff worked Now people want it to work and not spy on you And so I totally agree with andy like you should be able to have your weather app Know where you are because you have gps turned on saying don't store my location Is not the same as saying don't check my location right and even if it needs to store it briefly There there should be a way to say like yeah, it'll be stored for you know less than a day Just because that's the way the app works But after that it'll be purged because what's what the ap found was in this other setting area under apps It was being stored for longer periods of time because it wasn't covered by the tracking which was doing continuous tracking Which is a totally different thing I want to say also because google maybe makes money off of you And that is not an A little bit of devil's advocate, but it's not an invalid reason you're totally yeah for free And maybe they need that to monetize your use of it Um, I think they should be more transparent about it But it's also such a tiny thing that everyone's jumping on it and pointing fingers and going like ah see Again google is trying to spy on you without you knowing but it's not I mean More transparency sure I don't think the the the the team designing it was thinking Oh my god, we need to tell them that if they turn off This service then they won't have access to that When really you turn it off and you see you don't have access to it It's not and I think in in legitimate engineers minds. It was like well tracking is i'm always recording location constantly and Storage through apps is when I launched the weather app I checked the location then I store it so that I know where I checked last time and it can speed some things up Uh, and I think you're right that there are probably other people like great Well, we can use that to sell an ad against it and it is different from continuous tracking But people are like well wait a minute when I when I said I didn't want you to know my location store my location I meant I didn't want you to store my location. So It's just you know the the debate goes on kv followed up echoing sarah sentiments that this is a ridiculously buried settings item Uh kv said it's one thing to have the options available to merely say you have or cover your butt legally However, a real measurement of a company's efforts of how much they value user choice and privacy is how accessible and clearly explained Their options are are the options presented equally? Are they opt in rather than opt out or do they employ? Dark patterns such as hiding certain options behind several screens or different mediums like a phone call Discolored undesired options are generally making it harder for a user to actually make a well informed choice I think dark patterns is overemphasized But it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Uh the youtuber nerd writer does a pretty good overview on some common dark patterns I I think that is way overhyped the whole dark patterns thing Uh, but at the same time, I think there's a great argument to be made for accessibility That says look, uh, if you're hiding these things It's harder for lots of different people to get to and that's just not good ui Yeah, I agree with you that google isn't necessarily trying to bury these settings in a place where they Truly don't want anyone to find them. Oh, they're the in this case They are a little bit more buried than usual But this is a great conversation and maybe we can you know, I don't know if anyone has sort of like Dark web and app patterns that they're you know expert And I'd love to know more about it because there are little things like yeah Grain out the option that the app would prefer that you don't choose Um, you do see that a lot and sure if we're all paying a lot of attention Most of the time not an issue you still choose your options that are right for you and go on with your life, but um, I've certainly been uh, you know I don't know fooled is the right word, but I've been you know, a little bit confused by these sorts of things In the past and that that's definitely a factor My my issue is that dark patterns is a good consumer tip to say like hey Make sure you're reading things as they try to nudge you like it's not they want to trick you Yeah, it's no different than any kind of ad literacy Whereas what's being done on the internet right now is a lot of the dark patterns are coming to get you And companies are trying to trick you and see it like they're just way over hyping it for clicks And it's like yeah, no something to be aware of like sarah just said that's but that's all there is to it All right, I really like the analogy to basically marketing and ads that there are Dark or light patterns and all of those I will add though that The the answer that kv was looking for was really in his first or second sentence How much they value user choice and privacy? Google doesn't value it hugely they they value it to an extent But I would suspect that out of all of these gigantic companies Those that use your data to monetize again as I was saying earlier value your privacy less Then others that don't use that data to monetize Yeah, so it's not that more willing to let the consequence of a design change Impact your privacy negatively than a company that would be willing to go out of their way to protect your privacy.

Imagine when we Imagine when we have different privacy settings based on whether you're on earth or another planet I forgot to protect my privacy on mars I know it's totally different jurisdictions, you know Movie pass just can't quit you That's funny. Never write vp into mars. I get all these pop-ups about cooking Hmm Everything's about water Cancelled cancellation is one of my favorites on here cancelled cancellation. Oh, that's another movie pass. Um Movie passing the cancellation banking on your data the only Reason I wouldn't go with movie pass is just because we've had a couple movie pass titles recently And I know that we're continuing to report on the story, but I don't know. Yeah You know, um sassy apple apps. I kind of like that. That's kind of fun I didn't see that sassy apple apps It sounds like a breakfast cereal What's up? Can I have another bowl of sassy apple apps? Did anybody hear like apple jacks because I always thought apple jacks is the worst. No, I love apple jacks. Really? Yeah, I did I I mean, I'm not I'm glad you did That's one of the few non chocolate based cereals that I actually liked What are the other chocolate based cereals? Cocoa pebbles cookie crisp. Um, yeah Cocoa puffs Count chocula Um, okay. Yeah, okay color me, uh, color me corrected Um, but you didn't like apple jacks. You know what I didn't I didn't like now I don't like apple jacks. I was always like who wants this super sugar crisps What's that? Maybe that's not the right is that it's I do I mean that's not related to cookie crisp because that was no no these were like puffed barley With sugary coatings sugar smacks sugar smacks. Thank you Look who's Sorry, I found a low period between Life But you know, I finally understand when those commercials say that You know when when uh time moves at the speed of life Or was it when life moves at that it's something like the speed of life I it's Is Is that supposed to be like moving at the speed of light? Yes, it's a it's a spin on that but the way things in life your life anyone's a life Right, right. Yeah, you know there's you get these Amazing tranquil moments interspersed with a lot of stress Ah, I hear that brother I do Sassy apple apps Sassy So I um, you know what uh, what was the one I wasn't allowed to eat sugar sugary cereal But once I got to a certain age my parents just were like we give up eat what you want And what was the one that I loved so much? Oh, um kicks Uh, honey grams honey grams honey cones or honey Honey two different ones there were honey grams and honey comes honey grams the one that was the flat and square shaped Yeah, and well, they were kind of bent like a curvature of space But yeah, yeah, yeah, and you had to eat them really quick Golden grams golden grams. That's what it was Loved golden grams. They were great except that I noticed they got even sweeter with time Oh really like I think they added more sugar Or something like I don't remember it tasting that's crazy sweet You know, I think I read this I could be wrong about this But I think I read that your perception of sweetness your tolerance for sweetness goes down as you get older Maybe I think that's true I mean to the point that I don't even if someone's like, hey, you want a piece of my chocolate bar I'm like no because I noticed the golden grams gets got smaller as I got older too No, no, I mean exactly You know, it's noticeable in the way that I noticed the current contemporary Kit Kat bar Is like softer more melty melty chocolate than the old. I think it's just hotter than it used to be Now I think they moved to like pressed cocoa or some other Yeah, maybe well the the Kit Kat of the us is trash like yeah, no Well, I someone in the chat room said the uk Kit Kat went that way too because I did it That's like whatever her she's or not Was that craft? Vancouver I was stunned. I was like, oh my gosh, so good. I thought I liked Kit Kats until now. Now I love Kit Kats We're making Sarah gag because she doesn't like Kit Kats. I don't like Kit Kats I used to stir Kit Kats into my apple jacks Oh, I love that you're golden grams See so did Tom Tom loved apple jacks like because I was like what kid wanted apple jacks I wouldn't say in love. I liked apple jacks. I was like, oh apple jacks. That's cool. I like apple jacks I would prefer cocoa pebbles or golden grams. I love golden grams. Uh, what about uh, remember, uh, see if you remember this jingle Honey bunches of votes. Oh, that's why they call it the best of the bunch. What was the name of that cereal honey bunches of votes? Oh I'm like actually my dad got it because it was buried in grants, too Well, I see I liked honey bunches of votes. Oh, they were really good In the same way, I liked golden grams where it's like it seemed like maybe there was some health benefits But it was just sugar. You know that was frosted flakes Frosted flakes seemed like special k but then someone like got a creative and energy. Oh, I liked frosted flakes. Yeah I like raisin bran. I still do really. Oh Yeah, I learned to like raisin. I like it now, but I didn't like it as a kid So this is I so I this goes with the whole age thing that Tom was just alluding to But I was a kid. I was always upset at raisin bran for not having enough raisins And now that they put so much more raisins in it as an adult Too many I got more bran And the raisin bran people are like you're never happy. Nothing's ever good enough for you But I tell you what I do I buy a box of raisin bran and I buy a box of the supermarket like just Cornflakes or bran cereal and I mix it There is um, you know, Whole Foods doesn't have raisin bran the actual Cereal, but it has you know the sort of hippie knockoffs. Yeah And I don't know. I mean the concept of brand cereal with raisins. I really like it. I don't few blueberries It's a good time And that's where you get your sugar from the raisins That used to annoy the heck out of me as a kid It's like why do they show blueberries in this cereal when there are no Right, I know, right. I know because it makes it look so pretty Never really liked strawberries and cereal that always was a little odd to me, but blueberries very much I like blueberries and banana. Yeah same I'm cool with strawberries, but blueberry and banana preferable still Because the nice thing about blueberries is they're not very sweet as a fruit You know, they taste great and make nice colors But you can kind of add it to something that's already sweet and it doesn't go nuts I have blueberries every morning Every morning. Yeah, I used to get a cereal called blueberry morning. They start making it. I have my own homemade muesli And I put in chocolate chips blueberries kefir And some bananas So sutherland, huh the chocolate chip part is interesting Um chocolate chip part started for eileen because she has a different breakfast that I make for her It's like granola with dark chocolate and almonds and yogurt and chocolate chips the chocolate chips thing goes back to when we were both having the same thing And she didn't like it very much So I put chocolate chips in to make it nicer and then I'm like, oh put some in mine too And then we totally changed what's actually in the bowl, but I'm like, well, she's still got chocolate chips I suppose I'll put them in so yeah I mean, I'm sure it's good. It's just it's it's it's an interesting ingredient compared to it's not a healthy addition Yeah, well when I um Have worked at uh startup offices over the years and you know depending on the office or you know a television station or whatever where they stock, uh The you know certain food for free for employees I've gotten very good at figuring out how to like diy several things that are free to make a meal And one of the ones, um, I won't say what startup it was But they had kind bars lots of kind bars and they also had Like a you know instant oatmeal Well the oatmeal itself. I'd never liked any of the flavored ones. I only want the plain one But then you crumble the kind bar into the oatmeal And let it sit there for a minute because really the kind bars.  Wait, is this a s'more? It's not a s'more because there's no marshmallow Well, it's oatmeal with a melted kind bar in it It's just sounds like you're trying to make your own power bar Well, what i'm trying to do is eat for free, but also get as much nutrition as possible in a single setting Because the oatmeal itself is like, you know, it'll fill you up kind of but like there's not much to it But when you do the two at the same time, you're really in business Cinnamon on the top cinnamon is the key I do I I tell you what I take I'll take like if if I have any leftover meat like steak or sausage or something. I'll dice it. I'll throw it in with you plain oatmeal I'll just eat Because because oatmeal so it's so like neutral tasting. Yeah, it's like wamping per paste Sure You eat eat that with a protein and generally I'm set Well, that's how I feel about cottage cheese. I would eat a like a diced up sausage in a bowl of cottage cheese No problem sounds kind of weird, but it tastes fine protein and protein. I mean, why not you put cheese on a burger Right same idea Excuse me cow. I'm gonna take your milk and then put it on top of your flesh and cook. Yeah Yeah The cow is already dead Roger. You don't have to have that conversation Excuse me chicken. I'm gonna take your spirit of my hamburger cow Please forgive me I'm using goat milk cheese. I promise Man, I don't know about you guys, but I don't like goat milk very much. No, it's nasty. I'm sorry It's you know what? I'm wondering if it's actually the goat milk or what they feed the goat I'm not sure because they never have been There has been a salad that had goat cheese on it here and there where like I was like Maybe not my favorite cheese. I wish it was feta, but okay But usually I can't eat anything that has goat milk or goat cheese involved Hey folks, if you want to know what I sound like with my jacket off because it's hot stick around on the audio recording Uh for video folks though, we're saying sayonara And I hope you have a pleasant day Amos take us off
