Yeah, Elliot, my traditional name is Ciel Shawat, and I am from Couchin, and I am in my fourth year of my Bachelor of Arts degree in Indigenous and Holmok Mestima Studies. And for my internship, I am involved with the planning and organization of the Land as Life Cowitson course. My name is Lori Meyer-Dreese. I'm originally from Edmonton, Alberta, and I'm an instructor in Indigenous Holmok Studies at Vancouver Island University. I've been here for 21 years. I've had the great privilege of teaching and doing a lot of learning myself in Sonnenmukh Territory and Couchin Territory, and all over the central part of the island. I'm really blessed to have had elders like Koshima, Ray Peter, Colossal Whit, Ellen White, and Florence James as my teachers during my time here. Wonderful, thank you. So we'll start off by maybe just describing the program, starting off with what is the name of the program? Yeah, so our program, it's a 300-level undergraduate course. So for third-year students, although we let students in from a variety of levels, depending on their personal relationship with us, but we prefer a third year. And the course is entitled Land as Life. And what are the age groups of participants that can take this program? So the age groups or target audiences. So anybody can take this course from any age, any background. We try our best to be very inclusive so we can incorporate anybody who wants to embrace this opportunity to learn in a different environment. And I might add to that that we often have students take the class more than once because once they're in the course, they become leaders in their own right. And it's always nice to have a course full of students, some of whom have more experience than others. So it's a group of people who've done it more than once, mixed up with people for whom it's all new. Very good. So it's a program then that's not always the same program each semester? That's right. So the content of the program varies each year, depending on the weather, the land, the people who are available, the students that are there who are coming along. It's all very timely. Wonderful. And what is the aim of this Land as Life program? So with this program, we really want to demonstrate how the land is a teacher, how in indigenous perspectives it's another being. It's something worthy of respect and honor. And here in this institution, we're trying to do our best to demonstrate different kinds of libraries, living libraries. Yeah, the course really is very different from a standard academic approach to learning about the land and indigenous cultures and their relationship with place by getting people out. Another outcome, there are many, many outcomes for this course. Sophia identified a really good one. Another one is we're trying to teach people to be together, to work together and to share, which on the surface sounds really easy, but when we are in a university where a lot of us are struggling to get our individual grades and perform at an individual level, we're never offered the chance to learn together and force to share and learn how to ask for help and how to give help. And that's partly what this course is trying to teach, working together. And also being out on the territory, it also affirms connection to place. And then we have the opportunity to be introduced to land-based skills and the idea of learning from the environment and the teachers who facilitate, which are typically, again, community members or elders, people who have experience being out on the land, and it demonstrates the importance of these skills. And as well as connection to place and, like Lori said, learning together, it also helps develop that sense of community as learners here together walking through this academic journey. And maybe what follows from that is an outcome of what Sophia is talking about. It really is a cross-cultural experience for many people. Some people are learning within the context of their own culture because they come from the communities, the indigenous communities here. But for others, this is an entirely new journey into territories that they don't have a chance to see in their regular lives and working with cultures and being with cultures who are very different from their own. And that's hard work, but also beautiful work. And by embracing this method of learning, we also give back to the communities and the territories by sharing the history and allowing the people from the land to share their own stories and history as opposed to the stories being told for them. And not only do we have community teachers and elders teaching us, the students in the class are learning from one another. So there are more experienced peers in the classroom as students who are teaching the newer students who may not know, not overtly, but just by being together and learning side by side, learning from peers is an important part of the process. And lastly, I think the course is an attempt by the university and instructors like myself to respect those communities as knowledgeable, knowledge-holding people and landscapes so that the university doesn't have a corner on learning and knowing, but rather that we respect and acknowledge that there are other ways of knowing and learning and that it's our duty to engage with that even in the most basic sense. So what happens in this program? So some of the activities that we take part in throughout the course is learning some language because being out on the traditional territories, it's important to be able to acknowledge the connection to language and people in place to really understand the interconnectedness. Like when you translate the whole commutant language to English, you don't get the full meaning translating it to English it loses some of its importance and with language it's connected to everything, our history and the people, our traditional names, it's just a crucial component in learning anything indigenous related. And some of the other stuff we do is canoe paddling and pit cooking, cedar pulling, learning about medicinal plants and how to make teas and other things out of them. And we have storytelling and from the stories we learn teachings and then we learn how to respect the water, the land, the people, the four-legged beings, the feathered beings, the beings in the water, respecting everything as equal, respecting everything as important and honoring what is given to us whether it be knowledge or resources. And also we incorporate the importance of orality and memory because traditionally we were oral cultures, oral people, but losing our fluent speakers it's becoming more apparent that we need to do our best to reserve and continue our language and doing courses like this it gives us an opportunity to share it with other people and for indigenous students it gives us the opportunity to embrace our identity and connection to place as well as each other and even for non-indigenous learners they have the opportunity to connect with the land that they may reside on whether permanently or just for the school year. They have a chance to really engage with the people and the people of the land. Maybe I can add to what Sophia said very well there. Something that happens in our program which isn't necessarily a learning outcome but it does happen all the time is students take on leadership and someone like Sophia illustrates that and that she's been involved in the class a couple of times and now just by virtue of that she's starting to lead the class herself and we make room for that so that's really important. For the Land Is Life program how would you measure the successes of the program and what are some of the challenges? That's a really good question and Land Is Life is now 16 years old. We've been doing it for 16 years every year every spring and we do it in May and June because that's the first opportunity we have to really go outside and that's a time of year when things are coming alive after a long winter. It's been a successful program I would say and I know that because students routinely come back want to sign up for it again and use comments to describe their experience in the course as life-changing and that's a quote not from me but rather from those who have been our participants. We know that we've never recruited or advertised this course and it's only by word of mouth that people have come to know about it and come into it. After 16 years we have wait lists that are as long as the size of the class allows so there is a tremendous amount of interest in the course and it's very difficult to turn people away because we only have so many seats to fill. So just based on that alone I think we've got a good indication that things are going in the way that we want. We don't evaluate in a typical university or an academic fashion. The course is entirely oral. There is a small writing component but really it's just a memory aid and since many students are not used to operating in an exclusively oral environment where they have to remember everything we do include the small written component of daily reports on the activities that have taken place just for practice but I would like to move into an entirely oral and memory based course. Now to evaluate that I did a survey with elders that I've worked with for a number of years and asked them how they would assess students who have been out on the land with them and how they would decide whether that student had succeeded or not in engaging with indigenous ways of knowing and being and they all agreed that the one thing that they demanded of students was their presence so that a student could never learn if they weren't there. So that is one third of a student's grade is their presence and by presence I mean not just showing up but active presence that they're awake, ready to go, not hung over, tired, hanging back but perky, awake, enthusiastic to be there. The other element that the elders emphasized that was important if anyone was keen on learning and being or really being there was participation and again from a standard academic point of view this is always kind of a little add on extra five percent if you look like you're engaged. In this course 30 percent of the course is evaluated on whether you actually threw yourself into the activity, whether you looked for opportunity to be engaged. Perhaps it was picking up garbage, perhaps it was walking with a friend and perking them up telling good stories and sharing a laugh. Perhaps it was caring for the elder who was teaching that day. There are many roles in which a person can participate in this course. None of them are better than another. But a person needs to seek out where they're going to be active. And as an instructor it's very easy to see who's being active. It's rare actually to find a student who is not active. Those students tend to leave and we have a dropout rate of one percent or less. So every student really is quite active. And finally the last element that elders insisted was a mark of a student who was successful in this program were students who could speak to what they were going to do with the gifts that they received and that they give something back. When we learn from our communities and from the landscape there's an obligation or a commitment to give back. And whether we give back in the next five minutes or over the next 100 years it doesn't matter but we have to make a commitment that that gift was given in the spirit of passing it on. And so we ask students to present orally at the end of the course what they're going to give back based on the gifts that they received. This is very very challenging, also very emotional for many people. And the last day when we all do oral presentations and people speak to the gifts they've received, what they're going to do with them. We often are very very moved to hear what they plan on doing. So really the evaluation scheme or the rubric is based on how elders have routinely looked at young people or people who are learning and try to evaluate whether or not they're worth investing in. And when students are active, present and make that commitment, then it's not difficult to be with them. We know they're succeeding. One of the big challenges that we faced in having this course is that it doesn't fit in a classroom at a university, doesn't fit in a schedule. So we've had to fight to have the course be in a seven day sequence. We've had to fight to receive funding for buses and for transportation to get out onto the land. There's a lot of concern within the university setting around liability.  Using sharp knives when we're cooking food and being in an environment that's not a sterile kitchen, that involves some risk. Canoing, when we do canoeing, which is a prominent activity out here on the coast. It's customary in our local communities here not to wear life jackets because you have to be in touch with the water and have a sense of the power of water. So again, from a university point of view, this is more liability. And the university has had a tremendously challenging time dealing with this so far to the point that they haven't dealt with it at all. So we continue to take the risk and do so by trying to be responsible. And we really want to honor our communities and do what they ask us to do for learning, not do it the university way. Another challenge has been to honor the communities and their landscapes. We treat the landscapes and the communities as if they're free. Just like our libraries on campus, the communities are libraries. We don't pay a subscription fee for the communities for our indigenous teachers. Perhaps we should pay for the territory that we're using as our learning base. But it's presumed that this is all sort of easily accessible and that we're entitled to go out there as university students when really, I would say, we should rethink that. So funding for the land and for the human resources involved in this course is hugely problematic, still unresolved. And I would challenge anyone interested in this kind of course and this kind of learning to not start their course until they've dealt with that. It's really difficult and I don't mean to be sort of hypocritical because we have our course, but we've been lucky to receive an endowment, rather large endowment, to cover some of those concerns. What is your perspective on the importance of language and land-based learning as revitalization in indigenous education? To fully embrace our history and our culture and for the continuation of it, language needs to be involved in every aspect. Language comes in our stories and our history and our teachings, our traditional names. It is involved in ceremony and song and it's part of holistic learning and really knowing who we are as Hulmukh people, First Nations people. We've lost a lot of our fluent speakers and people who did speak before, no longer speak now, more so over the past few years. We've had programs such as Silent Speakers come out, which is for people who either understood Hulkmatenam or fluently spoke Hulkmatenam up until the time of a traumatic instance happening to them, such as the Indian Residential School. So the program, I had the opportunity to sit in on this second day of this program because my grandmother, Trisha Rice, she is one of the mentors. So these people are going back to the language, going back to fluency, but they also have to take part in the healing process of it. I believe they called it, it starts with a C. It's very therapeutic for them and it's a healing journey in itself. So trying to, for these people to come forward and speak the language themselves as well as teaching it to the younger generations that can still be very traumatic for them. So it's a healing journey for the students and understanding the intergenerational trauma. It's a healing journey for the teachers in opening up themselves to the potential fear or anxiety that comes with not only speaking the language themselves, but passing it down for their loved ones to speak or their community members to speak because of the fear that was instilled in them. So that is a big part in revitalization of the culture and the resurfacing of a lot of what was lost as well as taken away. So it's a large component in Indigenous learning and Indigenous perspectives is embracing what has happened in the past and how we can work together to move forward. So language is everything. And I underscore that with saying land and language are the same, one and the same, the language comes from the land. You can't understand the land if you don't engage with the language. And that doesn't mean fluency, but it does mean stepping into it and opening yourself up to it. If you remain close to it, you won't understand. So it's that, that's significant. Through the language we can understand the interconnectedness of the land, water and the beings, human and non-human alike. What is your vision for Indigenous education over the next 10 years? So on a personal note, I really love to see an increase in Indigenous scholars with the movements that have been happening and that have become more prominent as people coming into their own and being a voice not only for themselves, but their communities as well. And through education, we're finding a way to move forward and better ourselves and better our communities. And I'd like to see more academic institutions embrace and incorporate Indigenous episteme. Like here at our university, we have the Community Cousins Peer Mentorship Program and that gives people a sense of community and identity and a family here at this university. And we have our elders in residence and we have our language courses. And it would be really nice to see more academic institutions incorporate that. And it would be really beneficial if all students could have a better sense of recognition and acceptance for the opportunity to obtain holistic learning. So recognizing, respecting and accepting the differences, but also seeing how it's beneficial across all disciplines. So just a willingness to move forward and be connected and co-exist. Yeah, and we were discussing this before we went on tape and I think one piece that I agree with everything Sophie is adding there, it's all beautiful. The acceptance of difference is really quite difficult and in an academic environment we often like to critique difference or work with critiquing each other etc. But working on acceptance and specifically accepting difference is a whole other level of high diplomacy and learning how to love and share that isn't something that we practice routinely academically but it's something that's really, really important in this context. So that's important in this class and I think over the next 10 years I hope to see more of that. As my generation of instructors move away and the new generation of young teachers like Sophia and others move into these positions. It's very heartening. Thank you. Wonderful, well thank you very much to both of you, Lori and Sophia for taking the time to share your words and share your perspectives when it comes to Indigenous education and for sharing about your program at Vancouver Island University and how that's been a benefit to the people and the students. So I thank you very much for your time.


Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here on this last day of January, Monday January the 31st, and yes the Tiger Financial News Network, 10am market update, the Dow is now down only 14 points, I say only 14 points of 34,712, because there was a spectacular move in the last hour of Friday, my rule of thumb is when there's a move in the last hour that is kind of aberrational to most of the day, normally the next day you give back about 20% of that maybe 20 to 30%, well the Dow futures can show that, look what happened, the Dow futures huge move on Friday overnight from Sunday night it was up again, went to 34,712 and then slid all the way down to 34,313, 400 points down, now we're coming back we slightly up and that's a big positive, and I'd also mentioned that that fourth session since the Monday a week ago low, that's usually where I like to see a big breakout for leg B, well we had a spectacular close on Friday but it was not great, but in the scheme of things it's really important that we get some follow-through today because we get follow-through to the upside today, that is very important, so let's go to the S&P, the S&P right now is up 21, that's a good percentage, a good point gain, it's at 44,53.99 and the high on Friday was 44,53.23, so we have, yeah so now we're starting a leg B, and that really is important because you want to see off a low that was at 42,22, some kind of strength that keeps following through with the volatility and it's starting to pull back sharply, which is done, it's down at 27,38 from the 38.94 high of just a week ago, this is starting to show some deterioration in the volatility of the sentiment, so let's go to QQQ, 123, there we go, nice move up, this is a good change, up almost 6 points at 357, nice move, IWM is that following through, yeah but it's still very very weak, looking at gold, gold is up 10 but still very weak, and the dollar, where's the dollar, we'll talk about, I include all this holding, I think QQQ just came to slip a little bit, yeah, we'll talk about that when I get back, for my Tiger technicians hour,


What's good Josh boy Ross back again with another videos man, so we got to talk about what happened on Monday night raw involving the bloodline and Judgment day surprisingly shout out to everyone. I was watching the raw live stream. We appreciate Y'all, you know stopping by man. We always love we guys show up, you know, it makes the wrongs that much better But before we get into this whole bloodline Judgment Temporary alliance we got to talk about the Cody Rose Brock Lesnar segment or situation pretty much Cody comes out there with you Know, you know, he comes out there ready to fight pretty much like what you going? What's the word Brock? Are we doing this like what's happening? Alan Pierce comes out there trying to calm down situation.  Come on out here. Let's get this going Then of course, Adam Pierce gets a whole bunch of GAGs. You don't know what GAGs are just another guy whole bunch of GAG security individuals I just want to know where these security individuals were Were when Cody was catching the beats a couple weeks ago. They weren't there.  You're pretending to be a cowboy You know what you are You will be now.  He's not no cowboy. He's a coward So They're building it up. Hopefully they do the right thing Allow Cody to get the dub here, man He needs to win to gain that momentum going back after Roman for those championships, but That's that little situation. I definitely wanted to talk about now the bloodline and what's going on with them So they started off the show with the Usos and a solo in the ring or whatnot and you know, they're you know Paul's doing his his normal spill. Then you hear the judgment day music hit and like, huh? What's going on here? They're looking like they're you know, they mean business It's it's it's it's very interesting to see two heel factions interacting with each other They get into the ring Jimmy and and jay. They ready to go solo stoic Paul Heyman, you know, I'm saying he he knows something or whatnot they get in the ring or whatever and Damian priest ends up shaking Paul Heyman's hand after he's looking at the solo because solo he He's just he he wants all the smoke so Jimmy's confused on what's going on here Jimmy's very confused because he's like, bro. What's going on here? I didn't know what's happening here and basically Paul is he pretty much says well the only people that knew about this Situation that we got going on with the judgment day or whatnot bringing them out there or whatnot Is roman paul and solo keeping mind of that But basically what's going on is roman wanted a temporary alliance he wanted to help out the judgment day with their Ray Mysterio the lw The latin world order group or whatnot in the bad bunny. That was originally what he said He should have said all this but paul originally said we will help you with your bad bunny situation And you guys help us with our kevin oh and sammy zane and map riddle situation So they pretty much just swapped baby faces that they need to quote on quote eliminate Now when I initially heard this I was like well that kind of doesn't make sense Bad bunny's not really a wrestler. Damian priest seemed like he took care of him just by himself. So that's one why would the Bloodline need well, why would judgment day need the bloodline to handle up on one guy that's not even a wrestler I'm confused and even if you add ray in the l Uh, the the the the latin world order that would make a little bit more sense if they if he said that originally Because that's more people so they may need some help there But at the end of the day, it just didn't make sense and even for the bloodline Why would they need the help of judgment day? considering Considering this is you know one thing Why would they need help when they just solo previously on smackdown Damn sent fucking map riddle to the gulags And they've been feuding with the usos. I mean they've been feuding with uh sammy zane and kevin ohans Before resonania and they've been going back and forth. So I'm confused on what's going on here Why would they need to help each other when the the respective opponents that they're trying to take care of They've been either succeeding or having a little bit of trouble that it's not like they've been getting destroyed And then also which I'm glad that they brought up because fin baller's the only one in the group Mostly not really tuned keen on helping romans like bro fin ballers had to deal with the bloodline at one point. We ain't gonna forget. Uh, I believe I think that was maybe At extreme rules, uh, not last year's the year before last 2021's extreme rules I think where he was flopping like he used the demon and he was flopping like a fish a dead fish And then mysteriously the top broke broke before he was about to quote unquote, maybe win the match against roman. We didn't forget about that He didn't forget about that So and that's when he was a baby face. So I don't know and I know I got that paul mentioned that but to me It kind of got convoluted because all they did was just switch Baby faces on who they needed to attack That was it That's all they really did was switch And I was I was kind of confused on that but ultimately Um, it was still an interesting segment I think the one thing you can take away from the segment is the fact that jimmy and j They didn't know that roman had enlisted help From the judgment day. He wanted paul him into relay that message. They didn't know that And that's very interesting and very telling and I also like the fact that paul wanted uh j to switch with solo so soul could be next to him and then that's when rhea She was locked eyes with solo. It's like they want to fight each other But I know wwe's not about to do that. Are they equal range equal fights? But either way I did like that I did Like just the aspect of that story If they just would have kept that and you didn't even have to include the judgment day into this But they would have just kept the story of Uh Jimmy and j not being in the loop As much as solo and paul heyman is That's the that's the best part of this whole scenario and then Of course ray ends up facing solo afterwards ray catches the beats. It was a pretty good match He ends up catching the beats or whatnot.  They got destroyed everybody from the l Uh, the lad in world order got destroyed including ray and then at the end of the show when we're having the six man tag and and rhea gets uh, um kicked out or whatever Um, uh kicked out uh by ringside or whatnot fun match fun match Uh matt riddle ends up picking up the wind form And I do like that because solo didn't you pin Or whatever, but I uh not solo um, but I do like that because it's a situation where it's like The judgment day Even though they you know what i'm saying supposed to be this, you know, they were enlisted in the help Of the bloodline. They ultimately didn't get the job done They didn't get the job done and taking care of this sammy zane kevin owens in matt riddle situation Matt riddle ends up getting the pin victory. Um, and then at that point it was just a massive brawl The lwo comes out there ray comes out there because you know, obviously sammy and kevin owens and uh In matt riddle, they started getting jumped They were they were getting jumped by the usos and solo they came out there to reinforce for reinforcement and that's when the lwo And uh m rey came out there to even things up and it just became a huge brawl And I enjoyed that for what it was. So I think it's a little bit convoluted. I think you just needed to keep the Judgment stuff separate the bloodline stuff separate Let them do their own separate things how they're separate huge and go from there unless you plan on doing something with them In that made sense. I think this was a little bit convoluted The story should still be more focused on jimmy and jay not realizing that roman Is is doesn't care for him Doesn't really rock with them as much. They're not realizing that the only people he cares for now is paul And solo that should be the thing that they really focus in on more than This whole you beat our enemies. We beat your enemies. Everybody wins So I don't know but I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel man Let me know what you guys thought of monday night brawl tonight if you guys enjoyed it I know for me. It wasn't that bad. It was okay, you know saying it was uh, you know Put some pretty good matches on the show here and there So let me know what you guys thought of the show. I appreciate all the love and support Rolled to 150k and I'm still gonna speak to youtube rest and champion world. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See you in our next one. Peace


What is worth, I'm sorry for everything. You know, I'm always on the fence, whether or not Clint Eastwood has a hidden agenda in his films, or what do I mean by that? Stay tuned and you'll find out. My name is Brandon Heath Avery, and this is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? I wanna thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for the Mule. I really do appreciate it. Now the Mule stars and is directed by Clint Eastwood. I am a fan of Clint Eastwood. I like him in his films as an actor. I think he's a pretty good director. If you've never seen any of the films he's directed before, he's done 15 to 17 to Paris, which came out early this year. It was best in a true story. I thought the film was okay, but the acting was so-so because they had the real life people re-portraying their roles. He also did Sully with Tom Hanks, American Sniper with Bradley Cooper, who is also in this film, which of course we're gonna talk about, J Edgar, which was okay, and Gran Turismo, which that film pissed me off at first when I saw it in theaters because the way it did with race, but when I realized what he was doing later on in the film it became something that I appreciated. But now we have Clint Eastwood in the Mule. And this film right here, it's inspired by the story of Leo Sharp, a World War II veteran in his 80s who became the world's oldest and most prolific drug mule for the Sina Loa Cartel. Now, when I saw this film, it said that it was inspired by a 90-year-old veteran. So I don't know if he was 90 years old or he was 80 years old, but give or take a decade, I think you get the point of the film. Now, I had high expectations for this when I saw the trailers. It's nothing that I was anticipating for a long time. I saw the trailers just a number of weeks ago and I was intrigued. I was entertained by the trailers and just wanted to see what this film was about. And I'm glad I did because it was a good film. No, it actually wasn't a good film. It was a great film. And I thought Clint Eastwood did a great job in front of the camera and behind the camera. And why is that? Well, I really felt like I got to know Mr. Earl Stone. Now, I said that this film is inspired by Leo Sharp, but in this film the Mule is by the name of Earl Stone. And I really felt like I got a good sense of knowing who he was and what was important to him. And sometimes what is important to you in the world can make you or break you. And I think in this man's life it broke him because it really destroyed his family. You got to see that. You got to see his relationship with his daughter, his granddaughter, his wife, or actually his ex-wife and all his friends and family around. And you really got a sense of what was important to him. And what was important to him wasn't his family. Like he was a horrible father. He was a horrible grand, well he was a better grandfather than father much more. And he was a horrible husband. But what really was important to Earl Stone in this film or in his real life was just getting that acknowledgement from his peers. I mean, you can tell that there was something that happened to him deep back in his past that brought up some insecurities.  And he felt that hole by getting rewards and acknowledgements and accolades from all the townsmen, all the people that grew up with him and just was in his vicinity. I don't know why he wanted to get all that love and compassion from his family, but it is something that this film put on the forefront to kind of set the tone of the film and put everything in stakes and let you know what everything is worth. And I think that's what held it all together besides him actually being on the roll. Now, the supporting cast in this film is very thick. Like I said before, it does have Bradley Cooper in this film. It also has Andy Garcia, Michael Pena and Lawrence Fishburne. We've all heard of them before. We all know that they are fantastic actors. And they did a great job in this film too. Now, there isn't anything outstanding about their performers. I'm not gonna say that they move me here or move me there or they deserve some type of recognition for Golden Globe or Oscar. But I will say when I did see them on screen, I did enjoy their presence. It was just something about them that kind of set me up in my chair and just kind of let me know, hey, we're in for a good ride. This is a good movie right here with a full star study cast. One thing else about Clint Eastwood's performance and his character, L. Stone, is there was just something interesting that he did letting us know who he was and the characteristics of the person he was trying to portray and that he was kind of innocent. And I said insecure before, also just kind of ignorant. I don't know if he was just kind of running game on everybody in the film, but he was just kind of unsure of himself sometimes. This really didn't believe that he was in the situation that he could be in. Like, oh my God, this is happening to me right now. Okay, well, I'm just gonna accept it. I liked it and it just really stood out to me. We all know that this film is about drugs. He's moving drugs from El Paso to Chicago. I liked the way that was done. While that was done in the film, I liked the passage of time. It was smooth, it flowed, it was fluid. It wasn't very hard to follow at all. You kind of got a great idea of where he was going with the drugs and all that good stuff. It was easily instructions to follow. I do like everybody that was in the cartel on the United States side and the Mexican side. It gave you a good sense and good idea of how the drug game works and how important it is to be on time and the schedules that you have to follow. I liked how we got to see some of the protocol behind the scenes of the DEA and how they go about their investigations and try to bust people and try to, you know, bring down drug dealers and things like that. It was really intriguing. It gave me a perspective that I've never seen before in the film before. The film was also very funny without even trying to be. You know, I can tell that this was really Clint Eastwood's doing with his personality and the way that he always plays with race and he does with this film. And that's kind of what I meant in my intro as far as, you know, does Clint Eastwood have a hidden agenda in his films because I hate to bring his personal life into this film because that may not necessarily be fair. But if you look up his political views in real life and then you compare that to the screenplay in the dialogue that he puts in his films, you kind of wanna understand like what he's up to. I don't wanna go too dive. I don't wanna dive too deep into that right now. You can look that up for yourself, but it's just something that stood out to me. Something else that really stood out to me is the way he uses white privilege in this film and puts that on the forefront and just shows how people, how white people in this country, in this world can use their white privilege to get away with things, to take advantage of situations or just to get throughout their day. Now don't get upset with me for saying that because it is true and it is very apparent in this film. You'll just have to see it for yourself, but it's something that's blatantly obvious to me and something that I really did appreciate. There is a good amount of tension in this film. I was really wondering, you know, how he's going to get away with this. If he's gonna get away, I mean, it is based on a true story. With that being based on a true story, I like some of the elements that they brought over that they could have just ignored with, you know, this being inspired by Leo Sharp, you know, this genie was a Hortie culturalist. And if you don't know what that is, it's somewhat of a botanist, but it's someone who uses scientific knowledge to cultivate and propagate plants and then uses this knowledge to provide technical information to fruit, vegetable, and flower growers as well as farmers. And that is a plot point that they did using this film for more character development. And it just kind of made Clint Eastwood's portrayal of Earl Stone, of Leo Sharp, in a sense just stand out even brighter. There really isn't much that I can complain about this film. I pretty much loved everything about it. The performances was great. The story was great. The way it was told was great. I liked the family dynamic, especially at the beginning where there was some type of barbecue or party. And there's a fallout between family members. And like I said before, it really does set the tone. It really does let you know who Earl Stone was, who Clint Eastwood's character was, and you know, his impact on the people around him or who supposedly care about him. If I had to rate the mule out of a one out of 10, I'm gonna give this film a nine out of 10. Yes, a nine out of 10. I thought it was great. I really did enjoy it. And it's actually one of the better films that I've seen in all of 2018. But if you see the film, there is one thing that I would like to know how you feel. With Clint Eastwood's character, is he being genuine with his representation of race? Or is he mocking the oppressed? Let me know down in the comment section. Guys, that is just my opinion. Have you seen the mule or do you wanna see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know down in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing. If you like this video, go ahead and give me the thumbs up. If you don't, that's fine. But you can still subscribe to my channel. You can also look me up on social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all that good stuff. It's right there at the bottom of the screen. And I made it very easy by providing links to all that down in the description box below. But guys, I just wanna thank you again for tuning into my opinion slash review for the mule written, not written, starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. And before you go, don't forget that my name is Brennan Keith-Avery. And that's just my opinion. Peace.


So, let's try this second one. It says calculate the wavelength of a helium atom whose speed is equal to the root mean square speed at 20 degrees Celsius. So, well, this is kind of giving us a clue as to say, what do we need to figure out? Well, what is the root mean squared speed of a helium atom at this particular temperature? So, in order to do that, of course, you need to know, well, what is the root mean squared formula? So, mu average or root mean squared is going to be 3RT divided by molar mass to the 1 cap, so the square root. Okay, so we need to know all this stuff. T has to be in Kelvin plus 273 into 293 Kelvin. R, well, that's going to be the 8.314 R joules per mole Kelvin, so that gives you a clue as to what temperature you've got. Molar mass. So, what did they say? This is helium. So, if we look up at our periodic table, it's going to be 4.03. Okay? We're going to have to get rid of joules and convert this to kilograms as well. You'll see that in a second. Okay? Remember, one joule equals one kilogram meter squared per second squared, like that. Okay? So, if you want to, let's take that formula here, this conversion factor, and make it just one line on each side. So, one joule second squared equals one kilogram meter squared. It'll be easier to use. Okay? So, if you see that just algebraically. Okay, so this kind of clues us in as to, well, we need this in kilograms. Okay? So, let's just do that in the problem. We'll just do it. Okay? So, here we've got three. So, R, 8.314 joules per one mole. And then what did we say? Well, we've got to convert. Okay? So, we want joules on the bottom. So, one joule second squared, one kilogram meter squared, like that. Okay? T, 293 kelvin, all divided by, well, what did we say? 4.03 grams per one mole, 1000 grams. We're going to take that all up to the one half. So, let's see what we can cancel out. So, joules cancels with joules, kelvin cancels with kelvin, moles cancels with moles, grams cancels with grams, kilograms cancels with kilograms. And remember, we're looking for average velocity, right? So, meters per second is a good unit. And that's what we got. Meters squared per second squared. And then we're going to take the square root of that. Okay? So, let's calculate this together. And I'm just going to leave this at whatever number of six things that comes up. So, three, okay? And then take the square root of that into there. And so, like I said, I'm going to keep this to as many six things as I want. So, 1351 meters per second. Okay? So, that's the root mean squared of a helium atom by itself. Okay? So, now we have to use the de Broglie equation to figure out the wavelength from the information that we got. So, do you remember the de Broglie equation? Okay. So, it's lambda equals h over m. So, that's what we just figured out here. Does that make sense? So, that's what we're going to put here. And what are we looking for? We're looking for this wavelength here. Okay? Okay. So, I'm going to erase this stuff here, so I can use that part of the book. Is that all right? Yeah, fine. Remember that, 1351. I'll write it in this email. So, well, what else do we need? We need to know what length's constant is. Okay? That's going to be given to you. 6.336 times 10 to the negative 34 joules seconds. Okay? Mass of a helium atom. Well, from the periodic table it's 4.003 negative mu. Right? But we're going to need this in kilograms. Okay? So, for every 1 amu, we get 1.661 times 10 to the negative 24th grams. Okay? So, that's a conversion factor that you're going to be given on the test. And of course, for every 1,000 grams, you've got 1 kilogram. Why are we doing that? Because we're going to convert into kilograms. Okay? So, let's see. Okay, let's start just plugging stuff in. And if we need to use anything else to convert, okay, we'll do it. Okay? So, let's figure out what this number is first. Okay, 4.03. So, 6.649. So, we're going to get this 10 to the negative 27. So, 9 equals 6.626 times 10 to the negative 34 joules seconds. Okay? But we want to convert joules so we can get rid of those mass units. Okay? So, remember our conversion factor from before on joules. Okay? So, we're going to use that. So, joules at the bottom, 1 joule second square, 1 kilogram meter squared. So, divide that by the mass that we just got. 6.649 times 10 to the negative 27th kilograms. Okay? So, we're going to convert times the root mean square to 13.51 meters per one second. Okay? So, let's start canceling stuff. Okay? So, kilograms cancels with kilograms. Seconds cancels with one second there. This second cancels with the other second there. Okay? Joules cancels with joules. Meters cancels with one of the meters and we're left with meters. Okay? So, meters, is that a good wavelength unit? Yes. Yes. Okay? Because it's a length. Okay? So, I'm actually going to convert this into a smaller unit. Okay? More than likely, picometers from what I can remember. Okay? So, we're going to multiply. Okay? So, I get 7.5 to the negative 10. So, remember this was actually the 3, so that's what we're going to use. 7.38 times 10 to the negative 11 meters like that. Okay? Well, let's convert this to picometers. So, for every one meter, you have 1 times 10 to the 12 picometers like that. So, cancel cancel. And that's going to turn this into 73.8 picometers. So, that's the wavelength of the helium atom at the root mean squared speed that it would be at 20 degrees Celsius. Are there any questions about that one? No. Okay? You just got to go through these formulas, dot, dot, dot, dot. Okay? Cool.  So, I'm going to go through these formulas, dot, dot.


When you've made that money, nobody has a right to pull out a gun and take it from you and give it to somebody else.  It creates a society which is basically dead. It's dead spiritually, it's dead economically.


Wie, wenn man das so sagen möchte, warum das ein bisschen schwierig ist, das so genau zu sagen. Why is it so difficult? That's a little bit hard to say. We have to first describe what exactly is code for Germany. So we're actually gathering knowledge all across Germany. Usually you might have access to one city and we want to distribute to everyone. We want to network everyone into a big family, into here. It's also hard to say, we were doing it because we're really a distributed whole separate communities. But let's describe a little bit who exactly is doing what. And when we say we're working on something, we don't actually mean work on one thing, but we're working on different separate things. So we have all these different projects. And of course this is shown on the slide so you can also watch while you're listening to us. What actually do we want to code? There's really a lot of tech teams involved. There's a lot of tech companies or tech clubs. And they're saying we want to do XYZ. And we want to have a good business model. We want to ask what is actually, what can actually help people? We are putting things into practice. We are looking at data from open street maps or open other sources. It's a question of how you actually open it and what data format. So it's not just PDFs or one other thing, but lots of things. And of course the question of how do you exchange between and among all these organizations and all these people. We have a really detailed world. And there's a question of what is the government or what are the different organizations actually transmitting for the data. And therefore we are really excited about digitalizing everything. It's really a problem when one person said, this is my product, this is my app, this is my startup. And then there's the question, yeah, it's cool, we have this application and we have a different application and then another application, of course, maybe on a different device. It's a very fancy application, very detailed for one example, but what is actually behind it. But what actually can my super app really do in the background? There are so many data silos, which means that we have this whole application. And then this application gathers a lot of data. And there are lots of people that want innovation really fast, as fast as possible. But there's a question, what is behind all of this? There's lots of people that make hackathons. There's creative people gathering their innovation, innovating and imagining things. Or maybe we need startups that really fast and agile develop all of these digital products. Or we have on the business side, we have the economy, we have business doing their innovation. But as for Germany, it's a little bit different. Since 2014, we've been developing. Wir machen das in unserer Freizeit und dabei haben wir eine ganze Menge gelernt. Wenn ich jetzt so sage, wir machen das jetzt schon seit Jahren. Bitte versteht das nicht falsch. Wir lieben das nämlich zu hacken oder zu cohen oder hackathons. Sonst wirst uns ja eigentlich gar nicht geben. Wir lieben das nämlich zu hacken oder zu cohen oder hackathons. Was wollt ihr eigentlich, wenn ihr sagt, ihr wollt Innovation hackathons? So, we love to code and we are wondering what is innovation. Hackathons can be super fast and really is a super amount of creativity. They can get many people together and work on topics that may just fade into the background normally. You can build great prototypes and see how things look and hackathons can be a lot of fun, of course. They can spread knowledge and maybe take one or two days and learn from each other and have fun, of course. And one thing should not be forgotten with all this hackathons cannot be sustainable. And that is the interesting question. How can you reach sustainability with digitalization? And that on the one hand means something like ecological sustainability, so kind of software sustainability. Applications that look nice but aren't quite finished prototypes and many, many hours of work on a voluntary basis have been put in. If that is the situation, the question is how can you avoid these kinds of data silos and you have to think a bit further for that and ask yourself what infrastructure is actually behind this. How can the data that is produced at the end can be reused? And that is why it's important for us to have open data, because many applications don't actually have such a large effect. But if the data that has been used for them is made public. For example, I can enter opening times for my shop around the corner into an app. Then maybe the app will store that in its own database, which is all nice and dandy. But if half a year later the app is not going to be used anymore, if the project dies for some reason, people break up for some reason, then the data I've entered have all gone. But what can happen is if I link this to OpenStreetMap, an existing large project and can take these data for all other kinds of applications, that is the kind of aim that we have. So, that's why we say, hey, open data, not the kind of open data that we produce as a volunteer civil society organization, but also the one, the data that is joined through the administrations from administrations or from authorities. Don't just put them into small scale projects, but open the data that you receive so that you, but all the others can make use of it. We want free software because only free software can be developed further. I don't have to start you on security aspects. It is necessary that as many people as possible can look into the software. But to continue developing and say, hey, this is an element that will suit this project nicely and also have open interfaces, of course, so that people can work together. And what about licenses? There's no use if I have a certain licensed file format that I can't use in the future. And then the last item, open government, so to have structures that we as citizens can easily look into government processes. That is the problem. What you see here, these are data, lots of data. I think it's nature parks in the city of Wuppertal and nature reserves. And if we say we would like to access this data and use it, this kind of data, of course, is much too abstract. And that gets us to the question, who puts this into a nice representation? Who can work the state into something nice? This is an example. This is code for America. They have started a bit before us and they thought, how can we make applications from citizens, for citizens that can actually be of use so that they can be easily used, that they're accessible to many, without barriers. And how can we make them sensible? And we thought, okay, this is 2020. Everyone's talking about the climate and the environment. So let's see if we can bring these two issues together. So on the one hand, open data, open administration, open government or the other sustainability, how we can get this together. And for that, we were wondering, okay, we can do this on several levels. We can think about individual behavior, how that can be influenced, all these kinds of apps that we as individual people use to somehow get better or be better. And one thing we came up with is the drinking water app. A bit older, but we want to update it. Then we thought climate watch. In order to get involved at the political level, you have to know what's going on. And that you can see if you use open data and visualize it. And there is a project for that to climate watch. And also the utopia, the ideal target is that you don't have this individual data silos with these small-scale parts where everyone wants to just realize their own business model, but to say we want overreaching platforms. So, let's look at this in detail. What, for example, is this drinking water app? This is what we're talking about. It asks, what is it by drinking water? As I said, this is a bit older, but it works. This is a visualization for drinking water data. As it comes out of the tap, many people go to the supermarket and buy water in bottles. Not necessarily because it tastes better to them, but because I think it may be more healthy or better in some way. But the fact is, in Germany, drinking water is one of the best tested goods for food consumption. Not perhaps in the house, but there are approaches for that as well. But the actual supply to the house. And how can, then can you watch what is in the drinking water and people in certain cities such as Berlin and Leipzig and others thought about how to visualize the minerals that are found in their individual drinking water supply. Is it worth going to the shops and buying bottled water? And this bottled water, of course, has to be transported to the shop and to me first. And that brought about this app that visualizes this. But actually we wanted to go further now. And Leipzig is working hard on this. We want to move forward with the process to have this data. This data has to be published, because that's how it is supposed to be set up. But it's often published as PDF documents. And as we all know, PDF documents are not at all suited to have any structured analysis and get the data. So what would be much better would be something like comma separated values. So individual Numbers, separated by commas, that you could then read into other programs, interfaces, whatever. And exactly this interface is an item that we're working on. We want to ask what are the current measurements in the drinking water through various connected platforms such as freedom of information platforms und currently surely health authorities, local health authorities, have a bit more urgent things to do rather than looking at our drinking water. So we kind of push this back a little. And what you want to see at the end is a database that you can use easily to query values, compare different cities and get an overall picture in Germany about the drinking water quality. And see how can you actually through open data and how getting the data and linking the data together can change the behavior of individuals and improve things for the environment. So simply because people can inform themselves. So if you're interested in that, as I said, Leipzig is working on this actively, but other places are doing it too. Germany is, this is kind of our favorite community project in Germany, because it's such a tangible thing and looks nice. But you are still invited to join. And another thing that we have is climate watch. And this is something that the City of Münster came up with, where we asked, hey, we have all these different active groups that need data and there is data in the cities. And to then see how you can get this together data and politically active groups. And various other cities have now got involved, but everyone can get involved really, just as it was with the drinking water app. We simply, you simply need the various files with its value. And you write to, say, Münster at code4.de. And you can then ask, how can you get the data or say, I want to use this data for something. And you can then get involved in climate watch. And the question here is, if you are in the political arena, what can you do? And how can you use this data? And another issue, of course, is cycling. And, of course, there have been cycling referenda in cities. This interpreter is active in the cycling referendum in the city of Bielefeld. And Bielefeld is thinking, Bielefeld, who has just joined, of course, the founding meeting, unfortunately, unfortunately had to be cancelled. And they have, but they have been putting the work in and they are working on questions of what you can do with cycling data and put this data into a format that can be used in other places. Of course, again, you can email Bielefeld at code4.de and get involved. And also, did you transit? I don't think I have to talk on this a lot. Because you may all have seen the talk in the last Congress. Hacking the transport turnaround. The people from Olm have shown how you can do this all, make this all a bit more attractive. The question of getting from A to B. I hope that everyone that hasn't watched the talk has now got this QR code and scanned it. And you can search for it on media.csc.de as well. But the digital transit thought came from Finland, actually. And the question was, how can we create a single platform that can use data from all kinds of sources? And often it's, the question is, oh, this big. You look at the big cities, but actually digital transit is quite active. It's developed in a very small city, near Stuttgart, which is called Hamburg. And people there are trying to get this process forward and see how you can get this all updated to the latest Java version, for example. And they've managed to do this. And now you can see how different things can be connected, like train data and various private options of coming from A to B. Merchants that are making these trips anyway. How can you link these up anyway? So that's a thing to look at. If you look at the way these individuals work, you have this small scale action where open data, public data, can help. There's this next level, the political systems. And then we have these issues where you can say, okay, the aim would be to have every administration gain their expertise within their administrative authorities und have them develop these things themselves and have them show these things to volunteers and then have groups such as in Hamburg, Stuttgart, where people had this great problem. And when you then realize that maybe there's some money lying around, you can run a test and maybe improve the city climate that way. Because by getting data together and have open interfaces and then see how this is put together, everyone that's been working with data in that area knows. The problems are there all the time. The same bus stop has been entered five times in different ways via data, maybe longitude and latitude have been exchanged. So, when I say I'd like open data, it sounds very easy, but there's a lot of problems behind that in the detail. And then we have this very new thing. Localworks.de. So here on this website, we are asking people to actually participate together. In this time of Corona, it makes sense to participate online here. It doesn't matter if we know you already. If you're participating from far away, you can still go on the website. And here on this website, we're showing the different programs we're doing. We're doing something with open street maps. And for different cities, we can do the exact same thing that we've done here in this example. Here we see on the screenshot, we see exactly what we've done in Bonn so far. Bonn actually supports us with giving us different types of information. Here's access to the databases. And what's really amazing is they have no closed data. So they have all of it actually open. The data is always there, even though there's the usual hindrances that they don't have time or whatever. In this case, they're actually making it all open. So there's still a question of who is doing this and who is it for. Here's a little overview of who this could be for. There's environmental data. So, for instance, drinking water, quality, traffic data, the price for rent in a certain city. This can be a catastrophe nowadays. We all know how high the price of rent can be. But it would be nice if it actually is open and then everyone knows this. And then you know exactly, okay, how much could I pay? How much should I pay? We have the examples there. What have we learned so far? We have some, the time we've already been developing this, we have some ideas already. We see how important this is and we're searching for a better world. And we're hoping that the digitalization process can help us make it so. We're here on Twitter. And we have to make a summary here at the end. The... The... The... The... The... The... So, when you have an app and it's just superficial, it doesn't actually bring anything. You need to have the data that's behind it. Und there's a question, okay, how good is the data actually? For a problem analysis, what is the goal that we're trying to reach here? So, when a certain government or location actually has data, when we want to develop an app for it, we need the access to the data behind it. We had the example already of Finland, what they're doing there. It would be great if they have co-operations and then people can work together. So, we have to make a summary here. We have to make a summary here. It would be great if they have co-operations and then people can work together. We have lots of hackathons, but it's... There can be 100.000 people working on the same problem in a different way. And we want to increase the chances that something good comes out of it. And then we have to ask ourselves, what do we want to come out of it? Do we want to bring further digitalization into the government? Then we have to look at who is connected and who is meeting this data. And then we have to look at the different groups that could use the data and say, how could we actually support the groups that are doing good in the world with the data? That means that all of this digitalization process and connecting the different open data is not something for a hackathon for a weekend, but it's more like a marathon. It has to be a continuous process. And we need a lot of things for this to work. So, we're looking at the financial support, how this should work. So, in a lot of cases, we're looking at something that's a shorter time period for a couple of weeks or maybe just a couple of days. But the problem to find funding for this is that there's a lot of funding for new things, but for this continuous process that's ongoing, it's harder to find. So, to connect different clubs, maybe there could be funding there. And also, we want to support free and open software. And then at least it's open and going in this direction. So, that was a little bit of a summary of what we're trying to do here. So, we're trying to find funding for this summery, what we're trying to do here. We hope that we see everything, we said everything that I wanted to say correctly here. And we're looking for support for these projects. And of course, we hope to influence the politics, which is very important for open data. This is all the things that we do. Hopefully this is interesting. We have a handbook available. It's about crisis, resilience in the government. And of course, it's very timely in this time of the coronavirus crisis. It's a huge document and it contains a lot of information about all of the organizations that are involved. And of course, you have lots of links of the open data available there. So, this is the end of the talk. You're invited, please come and take a look at us. You can reach us at code4.de. It should be available in about two weeks. That should be finished then. We also have a GitHub repo. And thank you very much all across Germany and across the world who is listening. And you can see here some ideas of what we can actually do in Germany. And you can see how we're doing things and how everything is functioning here. And of course, all of the volunteers that are supporting us of the digital products, you all rock. And now we're done. Are there questions available? Okay, das heißt, ich halte dann am besten meine Kamera. Okay, I can see all the questions that you've handed in. And more by the minute. I'll just start with those that have a plus one in front of them. A question about the standard format. Why CSV? Wouldn't you rather have JSON or other formats that you can use on a web interface, for example? Yeah, actually, I'm fully with you and I hope everyone's applauding. We want much more. We just want to explain to the administration that Excel is not really what we want. Particularly not with these multi-line, multi-column things. So we try to say, well, CSV is something very simple so that everyone can open it up. So we try to say, well, CSV is something very simple so that everyone can open it up. So that everyone can open and that is hard enough. But yes, of course, everyone that is able to provide something more elaborate, they should provide that as well. Okay, then as a question with a plus two, I can see that question answered in the chat already. I'll just go with the questions, not any more comments. Do you have any mental help for me to feel more comfortable for Germany in the name? Maybe the question is, why only for Germany? Wie gesagt, wir kommen halt, wir sind so ein bisschen entstanden als das Schwesterprojekt von Code for America. Well, we kind of where this is the project of Code for America and the Americans want to have this kind of patriotism and we have a kind of a local patriotism here. What did I want to say? So, this is actually just the analogy to America. And there is this international thing, there is Code for Africa and many other regions are doing the same thing. So there is a continent wide thing as well. If you have a problem with that, well, as I said, it's a difficult thing. We always wonder whether we should just call it okay labs, open knowledge labs. If you have a great idea, please say but it will be hard to find something else. But it's hard with all these links to the other projects. Okay, I'll just continue maybe off topic. What's the role of SAFE by Hub in the sense of open knowledge for the climate? Or could I perhaps supplement my activism with competence? Okay. Of course, naturally I would say it's very strong to go in the open access direction. So, for instance the PayPal could be there to collect money and be free. And of course there's other supports coming in from other directions. Ich glaube, wir haben so ein bisschen festgestellt, dass es total schwer an allen Fronten gleichzeitig zu kämpfen und deswegen haben wir wirklich versucht, wie gesagt, es ist so schwer, Mensch überhaupt zu erklären, was ist CSV und dass es ist, in dem an Excel. And of course there's a question of Excel and we're great. Maybe I request to the outside if you put these questions into the chat. Please keep them short. Now the next question. The context of this talk is climate. And we can see you present a new platform here, open data and common interfaces. The German Meteorological Service does open data DWD, even though the data is not in standardized format. You can get climate data from models from the Max Planck Institute through the Weather and Research Forecast Model a local model by the American Meteorological Service, you can run calculations to. What about that? I can't don't see anything relevant to the climate in this talk. Right exactly. And there's lots of other projects that address this. But this is here only an example of what we're doing here. So encode for Germany we're doing a lot of things and then code for climate means this is one example of what we're doing and I thought okay, I'll just give a couple examples. It doesn't mean that we have an open data groups there that are working on it. But it's just one that is shown to this platform and we're looking at digital models here and ask Okay, next question of topic, which microphone are you using the sound is very good. Oh, that's good. Yeah, the audio is really important. Right, you just enter it into the pad, right? Next question, does the climate watch app use data from the open sense map because that sort of sends data from my own weather station with the particle matter and all that. That's a good question. I think it's only the data that's open that has the prognosis and then for the contact data it's going to be a different story. Yeah, next question with local apps and hackathons, I'm always sucked by the fact that there's more value placed on presentations rather than orderly content. How do you get something like presentation such as CSV or a good space of JSON? How do you get that? Good question. So, we have to learn as a community of how to do this and how we can further develop this and what we can do. What one thing we can do at the beginning is ask ourselves how can we actually describe this and what do we actually need? There are a couple of arguments you can collect you can make self-organized sessions to discuss this. How can I describe this? Like I said I think it's really hard. Okay, onto the next question of course these questions are growing faster than any renewable resource. Do you use the OFM tag some kind of actually I can just say for the stream the answer is in the stream someone put it an issue has been open for that so that this will come sorry for interrupting you there. It's really perfect. So like I said this is just scratching the surface here. Yes and we will talk about GitHub as well. Okay, mp4 underscore 404 plus 3 how difficult is it to actually get in touch with the government and convince these people to hand out data and what typical reasons do you hear to not hand out the data? So just to say clearly so there's a good example of all the reasons we want to collect this data more so than why we wouldn't and another point is actually so difficult for the government to do this there's lots of people that say a thousand times please do open data and then other people may respond but then we have to look at it again and it's not what we want so we say no this is not what we actually mean or what we want from open data we can use the example of barn the local government there's this hack day in the town hall and you have these people the code for project and the town getting very close together and the city sometimes you just need the right people getting together that you can call and you have to know this and in Münster for example there are two people at code for Münster actually now working in the town administration one is dealing with open data and the other with smart city so we are trying to get ourselves involved it's hard it takes time the question is how so we have to be quick in explaining that and where are the interfaces could you perhaps say in more concrete terms what you do other than asking health authorities and get measurements from pdf files and make the machine readable after all these buzzwords I've kind of lost the concrete information the information about the concrete work that you do and it's less clear to me than it has been before also I am not clear why for example the water project has to have the objective of changing people's behavior because actually surely this is a question of taste and not a decision about destroying the environment and having drinking tap water or is it okay yes that's a shame that it's about I would think that people are on different levels of how they think about this and I would think there's more people who want to sit together and they want nice things and they want to think about what is going on here and what is going on with my drinking water and it's one of our last goals that we want to reach that the government actually sees that wow people are using this information and then at the end we have a result that comes out that helps us reach our goal in the end that we're contributing to sustainable development on the digital level so it's not just about having the most fancy app but what is actually possible right great next question do you coordinate with at thelocavirkt.de platform do you coordinate with the SM community they have stayopen.de they they that was the French thing so yes I believe I am not directly involved in this project so there are a lot of people that are promised how you could actually participate in this but I don't know in what direction how deep they've gone but there are also other projects there okay so the last question is there a similar project in Austria is it possible to spread this all to all of central Europe yes of course yes we'd love it please do it further of course oh god I don't I hope I don't see the false thing here but I don't think it's actually done yet so when there's nothing yet we believe that this could be implemented very quickly I believe it's also in Austria when it's not then please write to us and please say hey but what's going on we could found this here as well and work on this further remote and we've really learned a lot today and there's a lot of people here that are on the chat and working live here okay great so at this point I'll say don't switch off your TV don't go to the toilet we will be glad to have you back so I've for the next event and take your trash with you and see if everything is okay until the left and right just as with any normal event so I'll go to that other lounge and we'll be back around 5 o'clock thanks Julia and a huge applause please warm welcome and the interpreters are asking an der Stelle was einspielen picture


More than 200 leading business figures have gathered at Holyrood for business in the Parliament. Now in its 10th year, the conference sees business representatives and politicians discuss topical issues which impact on enterprise in Scotland. It has redoubled its effort in terms of how we engage with the Scottish public and that includes our interaction with you, the business community, including your input to this conference, because your input, as the Deputy First Minister made very clear last night, is essential not just to the Parliament but is essential to the Government too. Keynot speakers this year were Leslie Eccles, one of the founders of Fanjewel, a global leader in fantasy sports entertainment, and Rosemary Ereby, who established one of Europe's largest hand-knitting companies in the Scottish Borders. And if you learn to act in school, you can learn to sell and present with your older. If you learn how to make and create things, you can turn your hand to anything. But above all, you actually understand the value of things. The event also featured a range of workshops led by business leaders in Scotland, discussing subjects including infrastructure, education and entrepreneurship among women, a theme touched on by the First Minister in her speech. Business in the Parliament was hosted jointly by the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government and supported by all the main business organisations in Scotland.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today we have with us Paraminder Jat Singh from IT for Change which works on the internet, global governance and other similar issues. Paraminder, good to have you with us. Thank you Praveer. A lot of issues have come up with the past regarding internet governance, the fact that the U.S. controls the root server, the fact that ICANN is really the one which decides the registry of domain names, is really located in the U.S. or largely U.S. base, the domain registers. Do you think this is a big issue for people in the third world or countries in the third world? Yes and no. It by itself may not be that big an issue because people do really think that, well, it doesn't matter, I get my domains all right. At this point of security, nations think there is an issue because the critical infrastructure has certain choke points which are controlled by one country. And essentially ICANN is under contract with the Department of Commerce and therefore is really subject to its control entirely. However for me, the principle that U.S. controls it is a bigger problem because it started a kind of a practice and a kind of model of privatized governments in the whole internet regime which extends to much and many more areas which are closer to our lives and influences our day-to-day lives much more. And therefore for me the problem is that we are now into an age where U.S. or couple of countries friendly to the U.S. control an infrastructure and along with privatized realms of governance. So yes, it is an issue and it is a huge issue. Developing countries have been consistently been arguing that there should be a system under the U.N. or a new system which is democratic globally which starting with the critical internet resources which is the kind of things you are talking about ICANN etc. should not control the internet but govern it in public interest. And I think there is a huge difference between the two especially at perception level because moment you talk about global governance people are afraid somebody is out to control it kind of you know limit people's freedoms. One part of it is really the fact that the U.S. government can shut down all every site in the country but just stopping it if it wants to. Dot IN if for instance U.S. wants it can stop all dot IN sites in that sense. It is actually a slightly complicated issue but you know what happens internet would not really because much of the traffic moves within the system and as long as the addresses are resolved internally you still will have an internet which will keep on degrading. So the fact is internet is so complex that nobody can really tell you what will happen but yes there are key choke points where influence can be exercised in critical times that can be problematic. It is rumored that just before the Iraq war dot IQ or whatever is the Iraq's domain was pulled out. So yes there are those fears. This is one part of it. The physical threat of degrading a country's internet infrastructure by being able to stop the domain all the domains because root servers in the U.S. is only one part of it. The second part of it we are referring the privatized governance of the internet if you will is the fact that this entire internet shall we say real estate which is created which is what the domains really are the wealth of that flows all into certain companies in the United States wouldn't that also be a major issue? It's a huge issue. The fact that the wealth completely goes to certain countries and moving from what was the model of internet as it was created it was a public model. It was an open infrastructure which was governed in public interest even if we call ICANN kind of a non-profit in public interest where different people could create applications and they would link up we have even gone worse than that. Right now internet is a few big applications. Most of the people who are on the internet are within private spaces of a few applications. This was not there like six years or seven years back. You were still on the internet and then there was a problem that who governs the internet and U.S. has disproportionate power but we have gone into times when actually people say what's the big about domain names because while you're inside Facebook space or inside Google space, resolutions take place by Google's architecture not by the internet's domain name architecture and increasingly young people have mobiles where they only do Facebook and Google. Increasingly mobiles are being sold, telecom companies are selling packages where for a certain amount you can only have Google and Facebook and perhaps one or two things Twitter and you really are inside those private domains so you're going into worse directions and when you are in those private domains obviously it's simply the company's policy which controls and governs you. So effectively two sets of issues. One is the creation of the real estate which is privately owned, one part of it. The second part of it what you're discussing right now is the fact that even you are becoming now captured in some sense by large corporations within whose application you really are. I call it the mall model. Earlier it was the public street, the shops were on the street so you had private spaces on a public system but now increasingly it's a mall. The shops are inside the private space and that's what is happening to the internet.  You're not on the internet. You're not on a public internet. You're inside that space for all and you're in private space. They can do whatever. Now this is one part of it but this seems to be developing in a way that we, meaning people in the third world, countries, people, whatever it is, we don't seem to be able to do anything about it at the moment. Are there countervailing measures that can be taken or people are taking or the moves against it? Because all that seems to be happening is a kind of isolation or policing model by a state that well we will not let you do ABCD things on this internet space or we will pry with some of these malls for instance. Now is there something else that can develop in this? Yes. So you're coming to the key question that increasingly internet dominates good parts of our social economic, political, cultural lives. Are they subject to good rules, regulations, public interest-based government systems because we need to be safe. We need to be protected. We need to be positively enabled in many ways the typically public functions. So what happens in these spaces? So right now, no, nothing is happening and there are a couple of reasons for that. One, technology is so fascinating. You're getting so much. You really don't want to do anything at all since you're getting a lot. You say, we're getting it. So why would you interfere in that? Goodies, you're getting daily new goodies. You start getting new mobile phones. You discover new things which you never thought were possible. And therefore the system is working. And it is working beyond people's expectations. So if you try to convince somebody in that kind of a situation that you want to do something, this is why. Why should I do it? Novelty of the things you're seeing overcomes the underlying problems. Novelty and you're actually getting new goodies and they're useful as well. It's not that they're just novel in that stimulating manner, but many of them are very useful. Google gives you Google applications. Google gives you a document which you can do online rather than offline. They are structural problems with it, but it's so convenient. You don't want to do anything about it. I mean, I get a model of, I saw a cartoon's long back and I vaguely remember it's about two chimpanzees who are getting a lot of foods and they're choosing what to eat and strategizing and taking it. At the same time, golden-edged cage is being built around them, but they're completely ignorant or you don't want to look at it because they are looking at the goodies being made possible. So in the same sense, we are getting the goodies, we are not looking at the structural changes which are happening around us, which in a long term would create problems for us and that becomes a governance issue. It's not an issue which each of us would separately ever want to do anything about, but as a society, as a collective, somebody has to take the responsibility to do something about it and that's not happening. I mean that this really is a larger issue that internet that we have created is really outside domestic governmental control in various, except perhaps in the United States where the ICANN is, where the Google, Facebook companies are and so on. For most, it's really outside domestic governance control and we have really no international structure to either govern or regulate the internet, except the laws of the United States. Is that really an issue that we need to address? Yeah, that's the central issue. I think when people have critiqued economic globalization and then you look at what should be done and any thinker, I really probe any thinker on that, the final person says this that you can't have a unified economy without having some kind of unified quality. That's the simple thing, you have to go towards. You want to take the advantage of being together economically, you have to give up certain power to a collective which is global and therefore have to have a quality and otherwise that wouldn't work and that's many times true in the internet where internet is inherently global. It's not global because the pieces got put together but it was global of which pieces we see from our local spaces. This being inherently global, for me the proposition is simple. If you want to take the advantage of being a globally connected society, if you really like it and everybody seems to like it, then you need to move forward and say we need some governance but the problem immediately comes that people think that that would be a typical UN-ish governance where certain authoritarian countries dominate and it's raised to the bottom looking for controls and the governments would agree to a high degree of control over the internet which nobody seems to want. So you are stuck there really. Effectively we have to think about new structures of governance, cooperative regulation if we will for the future which is the network to cite and that's really the crux of the issue. The nation-state structure is no longer capable of really addressing issues like this and by default at the moment it gives almost the sole power of governance to the United States where it really at the moment, the hub of the internet seems to be. Yes, theoretically that's what we need to do but our organization is struggling at the global level to see what actually can you do but when you really come to what actually you can do you need to be more pragmatic. You need to move from A to B and there has to be a path from A to B. You can't be at B because that's theoretically the best thing to do and I agree internet creates a new public and therefore there is a new public governance system which is the present one which is a combination together of those number of countries which we have is not adequate. Once theoretically we agree to that we still have to move from what we have now and have a path of progression towards that and we have given a lot of suggestions to have a new kind of system where you would have intergovernmental system the first time you have some people who are from outside and what powers they would have what soft powers would they exercise then there is an institution called UN Internet Governance Forum which is just a place where people can come and talk we have said that this should be empowered in a certain manner which gives policy directions but not policy outcomes which then should be something else so we have to look at new institutional possibilities. Now people accept the theoretical point but once you have to start then you have to make trade-offs and people are not ready to make trade-offs not making trade-offs comes the mother question of all the political economy question the political economy question has two sides to it one is that the rich countries like the US even when they know that certain ways internet is functioning is not good for their domestic public interest but it's so good for their companies that and the companies give them so much that they are ready to keep their eyes shut and be connived with those companies which is I think almost understandable domestic compulsion because when you don't have a global system then every country would work for their short-term gains and for US they know that many things about intellectual property they know is not good for the people people don't like it but they know that they are earning so much money the new model of global domination is based on technical architecture and on IP no technical architecture for them is important and that is built by Google and Facebook so one the big countries who are most sophisticated in their policy analysis of forward planning looking at what would be the public interest are not eager to you know put public interest their private interest of their large corporations over and over and they do earn so much money globally for them but probably even in some ways the people are better because they have more money being earned from outside it's a debatable issue basically what you are raising is that for the pharmaceutical companies interest overrides the interest of the people for public health like in the United States this could also be a similar example but the bottom line is that we have two problems I would say the second one I was saying two parts one is that the big countries who have big role in shaping global forums have this issue and the second is that the dominant forces increasingly in developing countries is that middle class which has new confluence of interest outlooks and therefore politics which is much more prominent than the majority people's politics there it is even more prominent on the internet so this group we should have brought the alternative politics is of course not going to bring it because this interest is the dominant model they are more liberal, they are more afraid of control aspect rather than on the socio-economic issues because of these two factors things are not going in the direction they should go but to sum up really two central questions that we have to address where do we want to go and what is the path to be followed and I think this is something that we will have to work out over the next few years otherwise we are going to get the situation that it is not going to be the interest of the public either defined in a larger public interest or even the new public as you were talking about thanks a lot this has been a very interesting discussion and we hope to have you more as you go further in the trajectory and towards the end point whatever that might be thank you


This is Donnie Anderson on the end of the Etude Extension Service in Ettingen Foster County. Today we're going to be demonstrating a recipe for the on the move for food adventures. So with this recipe before we begin always wash your hands. The next thing that we need to do is we need to wash our fruit. Now we like yogurt because it's a great source of calcium for us, helps to keep our bones and teeth strong. Good source of vitamin D. Honey also has some nutrition. It's darker than honey and more antioxidant food they have. And those are good to prevent cancer and to boost our immune system. Popa powder does contain antioxidants. And again those help to boost our immune function, heart and healthy heart health.
