and nutritional mental issues. So these people who are well-renowned actors, celebrities, I mean, all of them, like John McFelves, one-time world medallist who won most of the medals in Olympics, the doctor, actor, comedians, and the princess, most renowned, well-famous writer, research searching, Abraham Lincoln.  So what are we? What are the tips for a healthy life? So we have to have a balance in what we do and we have to love what we do. We have to love what you do, learn good coping skills, take good exercises, eat fresh food, have a hobby and more hobbies. We have to, most importantly, forgive, forget and foresee. So all these three qualities will give you some sort of relief. Of course, a good sleep.  So I found these facts on mental disorders, which are alarming and why that we should care for mental disorders. Global disease burden is 10% of substance use, mental and neurological disorders.  Isn't it alarming? It's 20%. 264 million of world population is depressed and that causes disability. Half of disorders of this type start before age of 14.  And that's the second leading cause of death. That's the age between 15 and 29. That's the second most leading cause.  That is not just mental disorders, but severe mental disorders. They die at least two decades before their years. One in nine people in conflict and threatened situation will suffer from moderate to severe mental disorders. So WHO speaks about the crisis situations in the world. Wars, COVID-19 and displacements. There are 84 million in the world right now displaced due to conflicts. So that's a common and non-respect for mental illness, or mental problem. Mental health workers, if we take developing countries, for 100,000 population, there are only two mental health workers. And two of the countries, there are 70 mental health workers. Less than half of the countries of 139 countries that we are talking about, or the countries registered in the world, mental health policies. And they report that they are aligned, the mental health policies are aligned with human rights.  So caring for mental health is very much important. If you take global economy, a trillion of US dollars is lost globally, annually, due to depression and anxiety disorders. We have most common among mental disorders, depression and anxiety. So close to 1 billion people right now are suffering with mental disorders. And due to COVID-19, we added 25% more of population with anxiety and depression. So if you take the monetary wise, financial wise, if you spend one dollar, you will get five dollars. If you spend on anxiety and depression, if you are increasing the treatment centers, the facilities, so we get five fold of investment, the perfect back to the world. So we should invest on anxiety and depression treatment facilities. Economically, schizophrenia is the most devastating mental disorder, but if you take depression and anxiety, that is the most common what we find in the population, the worldwide. In average psychiatric hospital, they absorb 66% of the health budget, the mental health budget. But all countries in the world, mostly they spend only 2% from their annual health budget to mental health. That is, that should be eye-opening and eye-catching thing that we have to think about as policy makers if we have our positions as policy makers. The loss of employment is a known risk factor for suicide and mental health problems in the world. And currently that is a global scenario. During COVID-19, after systems collapsed and treatments gaps are widened. So that is alarming fact, because two years in Sri Lanka, if I talk about Sri Lanka, we could not go to communities and we could not talk to people face-to-face and we were avoiding the social interactions. But mostly some part of the world and some of our doctors, they try to go to telepsychiatry or telemedicine methods that we can see people with video and all that. But for country like Sri Lanka, most of the people could not afford to have digital devices to access down until yeah. So one alarming fact is that what I told you earlier that 25% was added to the 1 billion population who are already suffering from mental illnesses. So that's the fact that I want to highlight here and talk to you about, so why we should care for mental illness. We just passed September 10th where we commemorated or we celebrated World Suicide Prevention Day. The team of suicide prevention day was through action, we can give them some sort of relief. So we have to give them light to action. So 800,000 people of population, 800,000 annually died due to committing suicide. So that's also another alarming fact that we have to care for mental health. But most of the time as a clinician, a person worked for mental health for 15 years, in Sri Lanka I have not seen police makers advancing towards mental health facilities or create a sort of environment suitable and conducive for to treat mental health mentally so we have to force and enforce our police makers to make good decisions. If you have some questions I can ask. So now the screen is yours. Thank you Dr. Siddharth for a wonderful presentation. Can you have any questions or comments from the participants? I think, can I say something? Yes please. Hi. Thank you for a wonderful presentation. I think this is one of the major concern which is being rising and throughout South Asian countries. We see even in the Western world also but specifically in South Asian countries because we are not very much aware plus the government itself is not spending much money. They don't think that the mental health is something which is to be taken care of. If I tell you about Pakistan, so we have very limited number of psychiatrists. So the psychiatrist ratio to patient is very low. So especially that's I think the major reason that we need to think about sensitizing and training general practitioners to tackle this issue, the rising burden of mental health because it's increasing day by day because of various reasons. COVID was one of the reasons as you mentioned and you've been saying to the policy makers needs to be sensitized by us but what they say is that there is no task force. So we need to produce the huge number of task force. That's what we are trying to, if you see all over the world, the psychiatrist ratio itself is very down. So that I think it was excellent presentation what you said. Very relative, related to current scenario. Thank you so much. Thank you for having done. Thank you for having done. To any of the other participants have any comments or questions? If I may see a few points regarding Dr. Asita's presentation, I would like to thank you for enlightening us with very few important facts about mental illness especially about the global disease burden and economic burden and how there's a gap between developed and underdeveloped countries in the accessibility of mental health care and also how mental health has affected individuals and community as a whole. I think we had a very fruitful presentation from Dr. Asita. Thank you so much. Thank you. Can we move on to the next presentation? So I'd like to introduce our next speaker. So we have Dr. Dabindah from Pakistan. He is professor and head of department of family medicine from Ikra University. I hope I'm pronouncing it right. Yeah. Yeah. And Dr. we'll be talking about mental health issues among healthcare workers. Yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. Just let me... I can't share the screen. Sona. I have your presentation. I'll try to share my screen. Just a second, Dr. Dabindah. I'll make you the host. I'll make you the co-host. If she's sharing, that's fine. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Sona, then you can share the presentation. But you will have to move the slides first. Whenever I'm asking, that's the issue. Please give me a few moves. Yes. Just need to download the presentation. Dr. Dabindah, you are the co-host also. So if you want, you can share the presentation yourself. So that's totally up to you. Can you see? Yes. Yes. Okay. Perfect. So thank you, Wonka and especially for inviting me for this day as I think this is one of the very important topics that we are concerned about. So Asita has been sharing about the general population. I will talk about something which is very relevant to us. So I'll be talking about mental health issues in physicians, especially healthcare workers. So I'll be more concentrating on physician.  And not only the absence of disease and infirmity, which is defined with WHO. So there is a term called burnout. So which is a long-term stress reaction, marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment. So what happened is that a lot of physician or healthcare workers which includes the nurses, paramedics and physician, surgeon, all of us are very frequently encountered with burnout. That may lead to depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health disorders. So like you can see that day-to-day, COVID is one of the examples, but if we recognize that we are daily seeing patients, we have... So if I talk about our field, the primary healthcare physicians, we have a major role because we have been dealing with multiple issues which are complex issue at one time. So we, I think, carry the major burden. That's why there is a higher chance that we may also go into despair from any mental health disorders. So what is the prevalence or the estimate of the problems? Depression, one of the most common mental health issue among physician worldwide due to high intensity training and work overload which is there because you know that medical profession itself is a unique profession which will give you huge satisfaction but on the other hand, it demands a huge amount of work plus there is anxiety and there are huge challenges associated with this profession. So there was a recent systematic review which showed that meta-analysis which indicated that the prevalence of depression among physician worldwide was around 28.8% higher than the rest of the general population. So we are the one who are treating and if we will be suffering, so who is going to look after the overall population you don't understand the word of depression also. Similarly, suicide rate among male physician is 1.4 times higher than the general population. Female physician are at an even greater risk with a suicide rate of 2.27 times greater than the general female population. So this is an article which says about level of stress anxiety and depression among nurses working at Peshawar Medical College tribal medical university general which showed that depression was there in 78%. So 31% among them were severely or extremely depressed, anxiety in 78, again 40% and stress in 54%. So huge number. Similarly, there was another study which was conducted in Indian general of psychiatry. If you see, it says around 30% of participants were found to have depression and 16.7% of participants reported suicidal ideations. And about 2.3 of the sample experience moderate level of stress another 13% had high level. More than 90% of the participants reported some level of burnout. So we need to find out when does that burnout or the work load has started. So need to be or as a healthcare provider, we need to identify that critical point where we are at the edge of developing various mental health issues. So this was the same article says that this activity resulted in lower indulgence in recreational activities experiencing verbal or physical abuse in the hand of the factors which were physical or abused by patient caregiver feeling that seniors do not show empathy towards patient and senior do not show empathy towards them. These were the reasons which these patient people the physician felt they were the reason for causing or letting them go into depression. So there is another study which is also related to if you can see mental health awareness in a survey find depression increasing among nurses. So if you can see it says that 30% of nurses said that they are experiencing feeling of depression. In the latest survey this increased to nearly 40% of all nurses causes again the same. So mental health which may lead to sadness anxiety and depression. So this is another physician. So this is national physician burnout and depression report 2018. If you can see the speciality wise which is the most one feeling or suffering from burnout. So if you can see I have highlighted family medicine. You can see 51% which is quite high number. So emergency medicine has a 60% rate because they are working in an environment where there is huge number of patients with influx with critical conditions. So obviously it is understandable that they may have similarly if you take care of gynein infectious disease and we are also 51% that is a huge number in comparison to if you see public health, dermatology, pathology. This was a so this is a huge number and we need to see what can be done to improve this. So what is the cause of stress in the medical field? So it's the workload or the overload high expectation which may be from our cell because the physicians are usually high achievers and they have high ambitions from their profession to grow. Similarly, they have high expectations from the healthcare organization where they are working the hospitals or you know the healthcare setup they have high pressure from that side. Lack of work-life balance. There is no absolutely very little work-life balance in sufficient compensation for the embassies. So this may be one of the reasons which may lead them to take over burden or they tend to work for longer hours as compared to normal timings. Then there are at times it's been seen that there are organizations which may ask you for citations so they are also been asked to do a lot of administrative tasks. So they have to do their stress level and because they have to meet certain deadlines. Then there are unfavorable organization cultures. As I have discussed previously there is a lot of patients feel depressed or go into stress because of inappropriate or unprofessional behaviors from patients and their caregivers. Because this is maybe related as there are poor or no safety culture available in the organization and there is lack of physical or psychological safety and perceived job security. All these are the factors which may lead to stress or over burden in terms of by the physician, surgeon, nurses or their healthcare allies all of them tend to get stress or high level of stress or burnout which may ultimately lead to depression. So you see that there is a very there is a whole overlap between stress and anxiety. So in this there is a recognized maybe identifiable trigger present. Now so what is the consequences or impact of going or physician or the healthcare provider they go into depression or anxiety or stress or any mental health disorders. So there is a potential for decreased quality of care and poor outcome which is understandable if they are not feeling well themselves mentally not stable they may not be able to work to the best of care. Then there are increased chances of medical error which may threat patient safety. Similarly decreased patient satisfaction is one of the ultimate impact which may occur. Increased physician and staff turnover. So a lot of physician because of the workload they tend to leave that place and keep on switching jobs then there is an effect on patient care and safety. Patient medication may be one of the issue. Physician recommended evidence based screening and health counseling reduce when physician have poor personal health. So they themselves when they are not feeling well or not good in their health they may not be advising or you know taking care of their patient to a extent that which is asked or which is expected. Reduce workplace productivity and efficiency. Ultimately the overall efficiency of that organization goes down. And then cost of replacing a physician that may be one million or something. So all these are the factors. So ultimately the overall the one major task which we are aiming to do is the improved patient care. But in the process of improved patient care somehow we get lost because when there is a poor work-life balance the physician or the healthcare provider themselves get into that trap and not able to take care of themselves and they are highly neglected of their self-care which is very very important. So if you see this is a chart against that that's the same national physician burnout and depression report if you can see. So they said does your depression affect patient care. So this is the survey people working at 40% said that my depression does not affect my interaction with patients. Only 40% if you see down the line. So I'm easily separated with patient less engage with patients not active listening and responding less friendly with patients less motivated to be careful while taking patients. No history taking filling out the electronic health record. I express my frustration in front of patients make errors I may not ordinarily make errors that could harm patients. So if you can see only 40% are those who say that it's not affected while rest of the 60% if you can see somehow one way or the other is going to affect the patient care quality and there is a threat to patient safety which is a great impact which may create a lot of disturbance in terms of healthcare and then bear that the ultimate goal is not achieved. So this is does your depression affect your dealing with colleagues less engage with staff actively listening and responding more easily staff appear express my frustration front of staff less friendly with staff my depression does not affect my behavior in workplace only 22% while see they arrive late they are making errors they should not make take longer lunches make error that would harm staff and peers. So 22% are saying that their depression or their behavior does not affect the healthcare environment while rest of them are saying that it does affect one way or the other that is ultimately making them more fragile and that may be the concept of team building that may get hampered. So this is very important if you see the question which was why have you not sought help for burnout or depression can you read this I can deal with this without help from a professional this is the most common reason that we do because we ourselves are thinking that we are the healthcare providers we are providing medicine to each and every one we can treat ourselves that is not sufficient because we don't know we may be biased toward ourselves and we know we may not see the exact picture or the clear picture of ourselves and self treatment may itself may harm or there may be a denial phase which may the reason why we are not willing to go for consultation don't want to risk this closure to medus one time there was a student who got into health issues so actually went into depression so when he was trying to consult the hospital where he was working he was advised that do not disclose this depression thing into your work environment because once they get to know they will start blaming you and they will directly kick you out of the job so this is one of the concern which people have that's why they are not opening up their mental health issues especially when you are working as a healthcare provider concerned about it being on my insurance record and concerned about my colleagues finding out so they are not still even though we think that it is not something taboo but still inside or in our concept or in our mind we still think that this is one of the taboo and if people say that we are on antidepressant or something this will create a negative image or so weak doctor you don't know self are taking something so people may start bullying you concerned about medical health professions or others so you can see these are most harder to seek help and that may worsen the condition and there may be a chance that people healthcare provider are getting more and more mental health issues so again self care doctors are miserable at this as doctor visits for themselves self prescribed drugs will not see a doctor so I will treat myself perceived stigma around seeking help or support a lot of time when you say that I am oh doctor you were on leave so once a patient said do you also get sick so I said I am also a human being like you so if you can say you exception and this I am pertinent with current to introduce my country a beautiful small country that is land locked in eastern Himalayas sandwiched between two giant countries China in the north and India in the south and has a population of just over 0.6 million and as a gift from a golden throne universal health care are all free that means there is no privatization of any clinics to talk about mental health care in Bhutan it is integrated in the primary healthcare system to provide essential mental health care to patients mental health care is delivered in a prototype system with national referral hospital at apex two regional hospital eastern regional hospital basic health next primary healthcare physicians and community health worker we call it health assistants are responsible for managing patients in their settings patient admissions are both voluntary and involuntary so as mentioned mental health is infancy in our country too with only one mental health in patient ward in national referral hospital and only three cycle is nationwide mental health is a major public health issue in Bhutan it's all because of attitudes towards mental illness and infants by various traditional beliefs like the black magics, evil spirits witchcraft curse or karma of previous life and they resort to alternative healing practice especially religious and faith healing this contributes to stigmatization and the discrimination of people with mental disorder so to improve mental health awareness and literacy among public and healthcare worker it's very important mental health in Bhutan remains hidden largely because of belief as I mentioned and then it results in widespread stigma and discrimination neglect of care of people with mental disorder due to lack of understanding of management by healthcare provider and people even for a healthcare provider understanding of management of mental health of a patient is also not known even at provider level the topic I was given was deliberate self harm and prevention of suicide present a case on a deliberate self harm I recently encountered so to talk about deliberate self harm in suicide suicide is a top 6 leading cause of death in Bhutan and every number of suicide was 8 a month that every 90 hours we are losing one patient to suicide suicide and mental health issues in every society and can affect anyone and then it can affect all walks of life but the recent studies have shown that young adults are affected more than older populations thanks this is a case of 26 year old female presented to emergency department with the history of deliberate injunction of 18 tablets of paracetamol brought to emergency room by sister after 2 hours of injunction and that act was isolation room when no one was at home she had she had no regret of act and was feeling low hopeless and wanted to enter life retrospectively looking at the history she had depressive symptoms that she never consulted psychiatrist she had mild epigastic pain and nausea at the presentation next doctor in past medical and psychetic illness she didn't have a significant past medical history and never been to a psychiatric unit in a social history she studied till grade 10 and discontinued to depose family support she was raised at the age of 16 when she was grade 10 and by one of her relatives but she did not share that incident to any of her family member this incident still dessert and often is low hopeless and doesn't see future but she had a similar history of delirium self harm that cutting forearm during high school days next the management that we management to that patient in emergency room immediate care with administration of activity chapel supportive care supportive care when patient was admitted to psychiatric unit for the management now promoting mental health and well being is is not a single man show it is multi stakeholder approach since it has a multifactorial reason that let people to come so it's it's said that no no single approach organization prevents suicide but they should be involvement of government at the highest level non-governmental organizations local government and then even like religious bodies police personnel teachers they can also be vital role in intervention of suicide so mental problems family problems and financial problems the common reasons why commit suicide and then it to prevent suicide comes with some form of warnings verbal message shows signs of mental distress so it is very important as a healthcare worker to identify the warning signs before patient commit suicide patient once the patient who commit suicide or completed suicide will have warning signs in a form of verbal message or signs of a mental distress so in Bhutan to talk about suicide prevention so we have a national suicide prevention program under ministry of health and has launched a comprehensive suicide prevention action plan 2015 to 2018 and we have adolescent friendly health services in every hospital for cater services to adolescents who has all sorts of problem who comes to hospital and then in that focuses on the mental well-being of adolescents and the school counseling services where school counselors are taught to identify the students who are at risk of committing suicide so in nutshell a very short presentation promoting mental health and well-being is an approach where this whole of a whole of a society approach is needed thank you very much Thank you Dr. Omni for wonderful presentation Do we have any comments or questions from the participants? Do you have any method to educate and organize programs in Bhutan with teachers the counseling teachers are in the schools in Sri Lanka we have counseling teachers yes now with the recent I think it's not that old but now every school has counseling teachers so they counseling the patients students who are at risk and then mostly patients students who are into substance abuse who are financially backward and then who shows some signs of mental distress they seek advice and then they do cross referral to primary care physician to seek medical advice Thank you Dr. Omni Any more comments or questions from the participants? If I may add a few points from Dr. Omni's presentation mental health has always been an underrated issue in Bhutan I think personally we have a lot of stigma in our community and we have patients who are very reluctant to seek help because of this stigma I think being brought up in Asian community we are family dynamics work so usually even our close family members how about any stressful life events we are not able to seek professional help so in Bhutan I think we are still very lacking in promoting mental health so now we have quite a lot of programs in the ministry of health that are very active in preventing deliberate self harm and suicide so do you have any more any more comments questions from the participants? Can you close the session for today? Anup, do you have any comments? No, I don't have any questions but I just have I would like to end the session on a thank you note very, very thank you to Dr. Asitah, Dr. Omni and Dr. Tabinda for for such informative talks I think all of the presentations are very, very relevant in terms of mental health and in terms of primary care practice so thank you so much for joining and it was I think it was a much needed webinar which we webinar and a very important day that we thought that because mental health issues are always underlying and they never as Dr. Tabinda had also mentioned that even 49% of even the doctors think that they can deal with it themselves, let alone general population general people so these were the important pointers that we wanted to point it out by Dr. Asitah and Dr. Omni also pointed out important details regarding self harm and the importance of why mental health is so important what are the parameters and why is it so important and what matters regarding mental health so that's about it I think thank you so much for joining today and my apologies for the initial delay because I think there was some issue with the link so there was some problem at my understanding so that's why we had a little problem in the initial part and then I thought it went off there so thank you so much everyone thank you thank you so much I'd like to thank all our speakers Dr. Asitah, Dr. Tabinda and Dr. Omni I think we had a very successful academic session for the World Mental Health Day today so I'd like to thank all of our speakers and all of our participants I hope you have a wonderful week ahead thank you thank you so much goodnight goodnight


Welcome back to the Trade Hacker Mindset. In this episode, we're gonna talk about why habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the Trade Hacker Mindset. All right, so let's jump into this topic of why habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Now, this topic comes from a book that I'm currently reading. It's called Atomic Habits by James Clear. I would highly recommend it to everyone. It is not a trading book, but some of the concepts in the book are really perceptive and really have been kind of enlightening to me. Some of the concepts in the book I'm already starting to implement. I'm only about a third of the way through the book and there are several topics that I wanna talk to you all about. And so I'm gonna actually be doing several podcast episodes on some of the concepts in this book. So I wanna start by talking about why small habits can make such a huge difference. I mean, that's the whole concept of this book, right? The word atomic means small, atoms, right? And so it's about how tiny, tiny little habits can create massive improvements over time. It's really easy for us to overestimate the importance of one little moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. I think a lot of times we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. And this could be if you're trying to lose weight, build a business, write a book, build your trading account, win a sports championship or any other goal that you can think of. A lot of times we put like this heavy pressure on ourselves to make some kind of earth shattering improvement that everybody's going to see and notice and it's gonna propel us right away to where we wanna get to. But on the flip side, if you just improve in whatever it is that you're trying to get better at, if you just improve by 1% a day, sometimes it's not even noticeable. But over the long run, it can be actually a lot more meaningful. And so as options traders, we're all math geeks, right? We are statistical probability nerds. And so looking at the math of that 1% improvement, if you look at how the math works out, if you can get 1% better every day for one year, you're actually gonna end up over 37 times better by the end of that year. And conversely, if you get 1% worse each day for a year, you're going to decline almost down to zero. So what starts as kind of a small win or a minor setback actually accumulates into something much bigger. So I said at the beginning, habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. Think about compound interest when it just comes to money. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effect of your habits multiply as you repeat them consistently. They don't seem to make any difference on any given day, yet the impact over months or years can be enormous. And a lot of times it's only when you look back a year, two years or five years or 10 years, that the value of these good habits and the cost of bad ones become very, very apparent. Now, as human beings, this can be very difficult to appreciate on a day-to-day basis. As humans, we are all about getting it now, especially Americans. We are all about instant gratification. Delayed gratification is not something that we're usually very good at. Not only do we want it now, we want it yesterday, right? So for example, if you start saving a little bit of money each day or each week or each month right now, you're still not a millionaire, right? Or if you go to the gym three days in a row, you're still not in shape, right? Or if you study Spanish for an hour, for a couple of nights, you still haven't learned the language, okay? We can make a few changes, but the results never seem to come quickly. And so what happens is we slide back into our previous routines. And unfortunately, this slow pace of transformation also makes it easy for us to let a bad habit slide. So if you eat an unhealthy meal, the scale doesn't move much, you didn't gain any weight. If you work late and ignore your family for a couple of nights, or if you procrastinate and putting off a project until tomorrow, you may still have time to finish it. A single decision, it's easy to dismiss. But when we start repeating these 1% errors day after day, making poor decisions a little bit more, a little bit more, duplicating these tiny mistakes, these small choices end up compounding into toxic results. In the book, he gives an example of think about an airplane flying from Los Angeles to New York City. If the pilot leaving LAX adjusts the heading of the plane, just three and a half degrees south, you'll end up landing in Washington DC instead of New York. So just this small change that's barely noticeable, just a few feet when you start, when it's magnified across the entire United States, you end up hundreds of miles away from where you intended to go. So your future success is a product of your daily habits. It's not a once in a lifetime transformation, which should be good news to you. Like it doesn't matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now, what matters is whether your habits are putting you on the right path towards that success, towards that goal, towards whatever it is you're trying to achieve. So if you can concern yourself much more with your current trajectory, with your current habits, then with your current results, then you're gonna end up seeing those results over time and it may not come as quickly as you'd like, but if those habits are in place, that's what's gonna get you there. And the same thing on the negative side. I mean, let's say you are successful. If you have, let's say you are a millionaire, but you spend more than you earn each month, you're on a bad trajectory, okay? Eventually that is going to catch up with you in a negative way. Our outcomes are a lagging, there's a lag, it's a lagging measure of our habits. Your net worth is a lagging measure of your financial habits. Your weight is a lagging measure of your eating habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your learning habits. Whatever you repeat is what you'll end up getting. In time, the amount of time that you do these different things, that magnifies the margin between your success and failure. Good habits make time your ally. Time is your friend if you have good habits. Bad habits makes time your enemy. All right, so I wanna give you one more example and I wanna tie this into your trading. Think about if you have an ice cube sitting on a table. The room is cold and you can see your breath. It's pretty cold in there. It's currently 25 degrees. So ever so slowly now, the room begins to heat up. By the way, 25 degrees Fahrenheit. First it goes to 26 degrees, then to 27, then to 28. The ice cube is still on that table. Okay, hasn't done anything. Then it gets to 29 degrees, 30, 31, and still nothing has happened. And then 32 degrees comes and the ice slowly starts to melt. That one degree shift, seemingly no different from the temperature increases before, has now unlocked a huge change in that ice cube. So sometimes breakthrough moments that we have are often the result of many previous actions, many previous habits that we've done over and over and over and never really start to see anything until we hit that breaking point and then things really start to snowball. So these habits that you're doing every day seem to make no difference a lot of times until you cross this critical threshold and then it really starts to explode. I know this has happened from personal experience in a lot of areas of my life and especially in trading. I mean, I've talked about this before, but my first 10 years of trading was very inconsistent. I'd make some money, I'd lose some money. I'd make some money, I'd lose some money. But it was somewhere between that year nine and 10 that I had that breakthrough, that I started having that consistency, that I really started creating this life for myself from trading, but had I given up in the first 10 years, I never would have experienced that. But all those habits and all those accumulation of knowledge and practice and screen time and everything else, all of a sudden accumulated and started to really have a major change just like that Ice Cube did when it finally hit that 32 degrees. So what happens, whenever we start some type of new, whatever it is, anything, we expect our progress. When we're trying something new and we're trying to achieve a goal or it doesn't even have to be trying something new, we're just, we have a new goal in mind. What we often expect is for that progress to be very linear. We expect that if we start working towards that goal, that our progress towards that goal is gonna be in a straight line. Or I see it all the time, new traders come into our community and they have this expectation that their profits are going to come extremely quickly and easily. But what happens is the reality is that the results of these efforts, they're delayed. And it's not until months or a lot of times years later that we realize that the true value of the previous habits and the previous work that we've put in is what helped us end up getting to that point where we wanna go. There's a, you know, I said as a kind of a progression as a straight line is what we expect, but the reality is, is that line dips down. If you kind of picture like an equity curve, if you've tracked your performance of your trading and, you know, we want that equity curve to start in the bottom left and really be as smooth and point up to the right as much as possible. But what happens, especially when we first start trading is it doesn't go in a straight line up to the right, right? It goes up and down, up and down. When you first start trading, a lot of times it goes down, it goes negative, then it might come back up, negative come back up. And it's a very, very zigzag type of a situation and it has more of a dip to it than a straight line up. But if you have the mindset that that's part of the learning process and, you know, that to me, that was actually, that can be detrimental as well. And in fact, that's why it took me so long. First of all, I did not have a navigation trading to guide me, like hopefully you guys are getting from me, but I kind of had the mindset of, I don't care if I lose money, this is a learning process for me. And so I was very careless. You know, we've talked so much about on this podcast about the two emotions of fear and greed. Fear was never an issue for me. My problem was always greed. I was always trying to, you know, make money quickly, position size too big, I was careless. I didn't care if I lost. I knew I'd just make some more money and I could put it in my trading account. And I knew I was learning the whole time, which can be a good thing if you are actually responsible, but I was not. So that was actually a detriment to me. So my challenge to you is a couple of things. Number one, if you are not having the consistency in your trading right now, don't give up. If you just remember all of the things that you're doing on a daily basis, if you're doing them right, if you're doing them the way that we teach you, those things are going to accumulate. If you're watching our courses, if you're learning our strategies, if you're starting to understand implied volatility, if you're starting to understand the strategies that we teach, all of that is accumulating into your mind. And at some point, you're going to hit that critical threshold where it all clicks and it all starts working much more consistently if it's not yet. So if you've taken losses that you know you shouldn't have by breaking your rules or whatever else it is. And in fact, the mental part is a big part of it. So not just learning the strategies, not just learning the mathematics and the probabilities, but working on yourself, working on your mental discipline and emotional control while you're trading is another habit that you've got to work on to become successful. But remember, you're working on it and it's a process and it takes time. It's not going to happen overnight. So if you're frustrated about your inconsistency, just know that all of that is accumulating and will help you long-term. Challenge number two is whether you already are consistently profitable, whether you already are successful, what can you be doing to get 1% better every day? Can you get more specific about your trading plan? Can you get 1% better on your discipline of following your rules? Can you get 1% better in journaling every single trade? Now, be careful, okay? Getting 1% better as a trader does not mean going to learn a new strategy. It does not mean analyzing fundamental analysis. It does not mean trying to learn a new technical analysis garbage technique. Okay, so be very, very careful. If I had to pick one thing, as long as you already kind of know a couple of strategies, my suggestion is to get better at those strategies only. My suggestion is to get better on yourself, on your discipline, on your mindset around trading, your emotional, your discipline, your emotional control and your discipline when it comes to following your rules. If you can continue to improve by 1% every time you trade, every day that you trade on those things, you are going to become successful much quicker than if you spend that time analyzing the markets, analyzing new strategies, analyzing new garbage that's out there on the internet. And I'm going to be doing the same thing right along with you. So even though as good as I think I am sometimes, we all have egos, right? As good as I think I am sometime, I can get better as well. And if I can make those 1% improvements and I can take my trading even to another level, that's what I want to do. I'm obsessed with becoming better than I am today.  I hope you liked this episode.

Welcome, Anne Aloha. My name is Mark Schlaufe. I am the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea program. While the impeachment inquiry of President Trump is proceeding in Washington, D.C., we've had our own ongoing impeachment proceedings in Honolulu. Today, I will be discussing the current impeachment proceedings against Honolulu prosecutor Keith Connoisseur. My guest today is Keith Kiyuchi. Keith Kiyuchi is the attorney who represents Tracy Yoshimura. Tracy Yoshimura is the man who has filed the petitions to impeach Honolulu prosecutor Keith Connoisseur. Keith and I will discuss the current status of the impeachment proceedings against the Honolulu prosecutor and where they're going. Keith, welcome. Thank you. Okay. What are these impeachment proceedings all about? What's the basis for them? Please. So last December, December of 2018, we filed a petition for impeachment of the city prosecutor and the impetus for that really was the ongoing investigation of Catherine Gillo, but also involved in December of last year, November of last year, we made aware that Mr. Connoisseur got a target letter. So that's what causes the first file, the first impeachment petition that grinded through the court. And ultimately, because our signatures which reported the petition were mostly electronic, Judge Frabturi dismissed that. So we filed a petition for rid of mandamus with the voice of Supreme Court November 15. And shortly before that, we filed a second petition for impeachment to try to get the issue back in front of the circuit court. But it would be pending what the Supreme Court decided on the petition for rid of mandamus. Okay, so you've told us a lot. Yes. Okay, now, I mean, what is the purpose of impeachment petition or petition for impeachment? What's the goal of all of that? It's to remove the prosecutor from office. This homeless city charter has recall proceedings as impeachment proceeding. So impeachment proceedings of like a mayor or city council member or the prosecutor requires 500 signatures. And then it goes to the homeless circuit court or circuit court judge decides whether under the city charter, there's been malfeasance, misfeasance or non-feasance committed. Okay, all right. So the purpose is to get rid of the prosecutor. And the basis is this malfeasance, misfeasance or non-feasance. And a lot of people, what does that mean, right? So the language actually goes back to the 1920s when the impeachment provisions first show up in the city charter. Malfeasance is basically an act committed by an individual. Misfeasance is you commit an act but do it negligently or sloppily. And non-feasance is you had a duty to commit an act, but you didn't do it. So in our case, while we cited all three, I think, in a lot of respects, it's non-feasance or what he did. Okay, all right. Or didn't do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so in this particular case, in your petition, what is the non-feasance or what are the acts? And the target letter, is that part of it too? The target letter is part of that. What is the target letter? The target letter is something that federal prosecutors send to somebody saying that you're the target of a federal investigation. It's different than a subject letter. A subject letter says you may be a subject part of the investigation. Target letter means you're specifically targeted, that you will be indicted and it's basically a letter to point out to me to come in, to operate. That's what the just the letter is. So prosecutor, he's kind of sure, got a target letter from the federal government. And what was that about? We don't know. I mean, we don't know.  Some of them involving Catherine Cale Loha, which is what all of the center's on. Some of it involving other investigations. We can see that with the number of people that they called in front of the grand jury and what you read in the press, there's more than just the Catherine Cale Loha aspect of the investigation. But we really don't know. We know that he got a target letter. It's pretty serious, especially for a hundredth of a prosecutor, right? I mean, is that it? Okay, now, besides the target letter, is there anything else? Yes. Okay. So what we've also alleged is his lack of supervision over people in his office. And the two examples are Catherine Cale Loha and his first deputy, Chastisabu, because Chastisabu got a subject letter, meaning that you're subject to investigation by the federal government. But a lot of our focus is on what he didn't do with Catherine Cale Loha. That's kind of sure. Yes. What Connoisseur didn't do with Catherine Cale Loha. And the examples have been published in the press, especially Hawaii News Now, where they've talked about how she was actually assigned to her brother's own investigation. She was assigned to her uncle's own investigation. So she was controlling a lot of things. And our view is that Mr. Connoisseur certainly should have known this or checked that because he's head of the office. And she has no immediate superior than the Mr. Connoisseur. But one of the things we also mentioned in the latest petition was the Dr. Edel Letter, which surfaced with the press. The Dr. Edel Letter was a letter that was written sometime in, I believe, 2014. And it talked about how Catherine Cale Loha was disabled and was unable to go through a deposition, which was curious, because this is 2014. And she's going through and prosecuted a lot of criminal cases. And our allegation is really once that letter came out, and certainly Mr. Connoisseur knew about it in June of 2014 because there were federal proceedings where that letter or her personal file was subpoenaed. And Mr. Connoisseur was represented in the federal court by this Corporation Constable of the Office. So there was knowledge of that letter, knowledge of what was in that letter. What was the letter with respect to her? The letter was really saying that she didn't have the capacity to, she was undergoing some type of treatment with this Dr. Edel. She didn't have the capacity to appear at a deposition. She specifically said deposition because what she was trying to do is avoid a deposition in the lawsuit that was filed by her uncle and grandmother. So that's why the letter was concocted. Now a lot of people have said, well, it was obviously a concocted letter. The doctor made that up, so she really wasn't disabled. That's kind of not the point. The point, if you're the city prosecutor, is that if you knew about the letter, you certainly knew about it in June of 2014. You should have investigated the circumstances that you did it. And so what I hear you saying is she was active in the prosecutor's office at the same time. Is that right? And yet there was a letter that got her off being deposed. Right. And the letter is from a doctor that said she was unable to be deposed because of a medical condition. Which doesn't seem to add up. It doesn't add up, but at the very least it's non-feasance.  And he did look into that, which is kind of our whole point. So the petition for impeachment that we filed in 2018 is different than the one we just filed. The one we just filed includes the allegations about the Ido letter because we just found out about that. And even the circumstances of those federal proceedings are kind of strange. Initially, all of those proceedings were sealed and then Civil Pete got them unsealed and then they were resealed three days later. So we were able to get copies of the files during the three, four day period when they were unsealed. So we have all of that information. And it's very enlightening because Mr. Connisher was a party that sought to quash the subpoena in federal court. So that's why he's got knowledge of it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. I wasn't aware of it. Yeah. And a lot of it really was if you're a party and it doesn't matter whether it was in a personnel file, it doesn't matter whether you knew about it in June of 2014. So what did you do after that? And part of why I think my client, Mr. Yoshimura, was so upset was because in the fall of 2014, he tried to get the first indictment against him, first indictment criminal against indictment against him and his co-defendants dismissed with prejudice. So this, the etal letter was never just court. Mr. Yoshimura was indicted or had a criminal case against him, which was ultimately resolved. The first case was dismissed because the prosecutor's office felt that there were things that went on that was inappropriate. And one of the things the press focused on was the fact that the first indictment occurred on May 1, 2014, and the etal letter was still in effect. So it has been pointed out by the press. Effectively, she did Hawaii's largest gambling indictment on May 1, 2014. But she was incompetent. Right. Exactly. Exactly. So that's an interesting question. So Mr. Yoshimura was indicted for gambling or... These, what they call products, direct sweepstakes. So his position, yes. And she was the prosecutor for that case, and she had been ruled incompetent. She had a letter from a doctor saying she really wasn't able to do here in a deposition. So why should she be able to work as a prosecutor? Is that what your argument would be about? Right. Exactly. And that's kind of the position the press has been taking is how in the world could you do that and you have this letter? Again, a lot of people have said, well, the letter is concocted. But it doesn't matter whether the letter is concocted. The letter exists. And the knowledge of it. Right. And I think the question becomes, well, did Mr. Kanashirov have an impersonal fault? You know what? It doesn't really matter. Because he knew about it in June of 2014. Because he was a party of the case. He was a party in the case when they tried to quash the subpoena. So he certainly had knowledge about it. Okay. So you were the attorney for Mr. Yoshimura at the time. Is that correct? Back in actually, in 2014, Miles first represented him. Miles Briner. Miles Briner, okay. And Miles represented him because we thought that I would be called as a witness. And the reason I would be called as a witness because in Tracy's first indictment, they indicted him for conduct on arcades that he did not own. Back in 2014, he owned no arcade. Yet, despite that, they traced all of these machines to arcades that they said that he owned. And we knew that was false. So at that time, in 2014, it looked like a defective witness. Because? Because I would be able to test the fact that he didn't own any of those arcades. So it was a little different in 2016 when he was re-indicted. At some point, it was apparent that I would no longer be a fact-based witness for Miles and I together represented him. And in those cases, the criminal cases against him were ultimately dismissed. They were dismissed. He was indicted the second time in February of 2016. That case was ultimately dismissed on the Speedy Trial grounds. The employees case, the employees were indicted separately. They were dismissed on different grounds, mainly for part prosecutorial misconduct and part Speedy Trial. But there were different bases for the employees being dismissed. And there's no longer any... There's no longer any case. The prosecutors never appealed, despite the fact that the judge that made the ruling anticipated an appeal, but the prosecutors never appealed either. So after that, Mr. Yoshimura was concerned about what was happening in the prosecutor's office? Yes, and that's kind of what led in, and I think the natural question is why would you do that? I think part of it was obviously there's some animosity. I think a large part of that is Tracy really felt that when a lot of the things came out about Katharine Deload, that this just wasn't right. That there were things that Mr. Kanashiro knew about and should have prevented. And one of them was this prosecutor kind of going rogue, so to speak, in the office. There's a lot of the things that have since come out, like her prosecuting her own brother's case, or prosecuting her uncle's case. I mean, you talk about an abuse of power, we talk about that on the national level, but on the local level, that's an ultimate abuse of power. So Mr. Yoshimura felt that he had some duty or obligation to undertake that. Okay, we're going to take a short break, and then we're going to come back and I want to find out where we are now with all these petitions, where we're going, what do you think's going to happen? We're going to take a break right now and be right back. Thank you. Hi guys, I'm your host, Lillian Cumick, from Lillian's Vegan World.

We're not on Friday anymore, so don't be looking for me on Friday. I'm on Tuesday at 3pm here on Think Tech, coming to you live and direct from the beautiful studios in downtown Honolulu's Pioneer Plaza. So please join me, and we'll talk everything about hydrogen and clean energy, not only for Hawaii, but for the whole wide world. Aloha. Welcome back. I am Mark Sklav, host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea program, and I am here with Keith Kiyuchi, and we are talking about petitions to impeach prosecutor Keith Kanashiro that Mr. Kiyuchi has filed on behalf of Tracy Yoshimura. And Keith, when we're talking, there's really pending petitions, right? Yes. There's two, and one was dismissed by Judge Crabtree because of signatures. Right. I'd like you to explain that, but then I also, what's the next petition and what's the mandamus about? But first, why did Judge Crabtree dismiss the first petition because of the electronic signatures? Well, the primary basis he dismissed it, and we cited to him, there's a Hawaii electronic signature that, I believe it's 497. And he said that, and the city said that they had the right under 497 to reject the electronic signatures, but that's not the way the statute reads. The way the statute reads, what we assert is that the city can carve out an exception, but our position has been that they need to adopt rules under Chapter 91, the Hawaii Administrative Procedures Act, in order to carve out that exception, which they didn't do. It's kind of a strange statute because Hawaii electronic signatures act. One hand says you have to accept the electronic signatures. On the other hand, it says, it shall not prevent the government from rejecting electronic signatures, but in that same section of the statute, it says that they have to specifically state what the exceptions are. So your basic argument, as I hear you saying it, was that a law says you can have electronic signatures unless you have a rule that says you can't, and they didn't create a rule, they were just making a sort of ad hoc decision. Well, and that's the whole idea, because Chapter 91 exists because you can't just pull the law out of the air. You have to go through public hearings, you have to give notice and people would testify. And ironically, there's a very similar case in Utah Supreme Court, decided case Anderson v. Bell, that was almost on an identical statute, and they said, no, you've got to, you can't just arbitrarily reject the electronic signature. And there is no law in Hawaii, right? That says you can't have electronic signatures for petitions to impeach the prosecutor. There's no law. There's no law like that. It doesn't go that detail. In fact, part of the problem we have, as the press has pointed out, is there is no law on a lot of the issues we're dealing with, I mean, even under the city charter provision. So that makes it kind of challenging because the press has wanted to know, define malfeasance, misfeasance, non-feasance. Makes it difficult. So what was the corporation council and the city clerk's argument about the electronic signatures that, I mean, why did they say they are not good and why do you say they are? Well, they said that there was room for fraud and they didn't specify what the fraud would be. By that time, by the time we were in front of Judge Crabtree on that issue, Tracy, Mr. Yoshimura had secured a different platform. Initially, when we filed the first petition, we went through change.org and change.org did not have the protections that DocuSign had. DocuSign is used not only in courts, but it's used across the nation for all kinds of transactions. So Hughes DocuSign is a platform and they distinguish between the two petitions. The first petition was filed using change.org. The second petition was used with a combination of electronic signatures from DocuSign. So everything in DocuSign has an audit trail so you can trace it back so you eliminate the fraud. And in the state of Hawaii, are there instances that you can use electronic signatures for legal matters? Yes, in fact, you can use electronic signatures to register to vote. I mean, you can register online. You can also use electronic signatures and now the courts take electronic filing, which means that you don't have any wet signatures on any document. Give you a good example, and this is what we are getting from the judge's rapture, is that DocuSign is used by all sorts of companies, including I do work for a structured settlement purchase company called JG Wentworth. That would use nothing but electronic signatures in their documents. And the courts accept that pursuant to the Hawaii electronic signatures tax, Hawaii won't accept that for a petition. Okay, now, one case was dismissed. Yes. You filed another and you've asked the Supreme Court to review the first case. Where is the status? Where do you go from here? Where do we, what's the next step? What are you waiting for? So right now we filed a petition on November 15th. With the Supreme Court. With the Supreme Court, and they're reviewing that. And we filed a second impeachment petition just before that. I think it's my recollection, the 11th of November. And that's scheduled for hearing on January 23rd. But that doesn't go because the judge's rapture is ruling unless the Supreme Court grants it for the mandamus. So the original decision by Judge Crabtree will control unless the Supreme Court says it's not right. Right, and we could, you know, it's pointed out we could appeal it. But the real reason we I can still file the appeal, I haven't until this week Friday to file the appeal, which we'll do. But the written mandamus is really the main the main avenue we need to speak because if we don't get a written mandamus then we don't make the end of the year deadline. What is that about? The final deadline is unless he's Mr. Connoisseur's removed from office by December 31st. The city charter says that the first deputy replaces him. And if the first deputy doesn't exist or for some reason doesn't want it, then the mayor appoints him. Mr. Yoshimura's position has always been the voters should decide. People should decide. People should have the power of the ballot box. I see at least a couple of candidates running for prosecutor said that, you know, they want to clean the office up. They want to, you know, remove the distrust that exists. And I think that's the power of the ballot box. We haven't either Mr. Yoshimura and I have taken a position as to which candidate would be appropriate. But we do think that the voters should decide not in the first deputy certainly shouldn't be appointing him. Especially under the circumstances where he's under a microscope right now and the mayor shouldn't appoint him. With all due respect to the mayor, that should be the power of the people in the ballot box. You have to know by December 31st whether he's going to be removed. And that's going to be, yeah, that's a tough timeline. So you still have to have a hearing. And today is the 9th. The decision with enough time to have a hearing in order to win or lose at the hearing, I suppose. I guess what's the procedure at the hearing? The judge hears evidence? Yeah, the judge would hear evidence. I mean, it's not real clear because prior to, they changed the law I think after the Rean Monchal impeachment where it used to be with the Supreme Court and now it's with a circuit court judge. Why they changed the law is kind of curious because the Supreme Court wouldn't take evidence as much as they would take, I guess, briefing. Maybe that's why they did it because maybe the circuit court judge would need to take evidence of what Balfe's and his fees. I mean, that's why we first contemplated and that was kind of the schedule that Judge Bradbury had set out. Oh, you're waiting. We're waiting. We have a January 23rd hearing, but that January 23rd hearing is not going to go on unless the Supreme Court decides. Everything is kind of dependent on what the Supreme Court does. And if they do not grant your mandamus then you would appeal. And then who knows how long that'll take. And the question is, and I pointed out in my written mandamus, even the December 31st headline, as important as that is, and we have an appeal heard by the time it becomes moot, I do not want it to become moot because I think this is an important issue. So, I mean, the argument is it becomes moot once the elections are held. Well, I kind of disagree with that. I think before. Well, technically he prosecutors enough until December 31st, which is kind of an interesting you know, it's kind of different than the government anyway. So, he is still the prosecutor. But he is no longer in the office. That was something happened because of the Attorney General. The Attorney General filed a petition in February of this year to ask him to be suspended from the practice of law because he got the target letter. It's Claire Connors. And as a result of that he took leave, the voters would find he's still collecting his gallery. He's been seen at least once in the parking lot with his administrative assistant which I really got some issues with. And I think Yoshimura does as well. So, I think the best thing is to remove him from office. You move him from office the sooner you can get the elector to decide who goes in. Whether we have one election I think that's important. In the time we have left why should we care? I mean, why not just let it go? I think we should care because our government should not have the kind of stench that it does now. Frankly, I think this whole Kailoha matter just doesn't involve Mr. Countess but I think the entire matter has made people distrustful of the criminal justice system. And they have every right to do that. And I think, as I said, a lot of the people running as candidates for city prosecutor want to restore the public trust. I think a lot of the things that have been alleged and a lot of things have happened like DUI cases being dismissed or the electricians that may be small but that's a symptom that you shouldn't have is a power that goes beyond all of that. I mean, an absolute power and this is what's going on in Washington DC right now is that if you've got that kind of power that power needs to be curbed. So I think that's why people should care. People should care whenever there is an abuse of power by any of our elected officials and anybody under him. I think that's why people should care. Keith Kiyuchi, the next few days will be important and we'll see what happens in all of this and the petitions to impeach Keith Kanyashiro, the prosecutor. And that's it. That's it for today. Thank you very much. I'll see you in the new year. Aloha.


Precision agriculture implies the use of a suite of technologies, sensing technologies, computers and data for the implementation of the right management at the right time, at the right place. Examples of precision agriculture technologies that farmers use to be more sustainable could be yield monitors, GPS, and variable rate controllers. With the yield monitor and other data like UAV imagery, agronomies and farmers can create prescription maps. That means different rates of inputs that can be implemented across the field. The field that we have behind, for example, has variability. There is variability in soil type, there is variability in topography. So these sensing technologies, computers and data allows the farmer to implement a specific management to different areas of the field. Farmers recognize the power of data that is being collected by the technologies that are right now in their farming equipment. And they know that that data is providing them more knowledge that allows them to support size specific management. That means changing or implementing different management according to the characteristics of all these fields. That is going to result not only on yield increase, but in efficiency and sustainability. My commitment to sustainability is to conduct research and to develop extension and education programs to demonstrate the value, the power of the technology, and train stakeholders on how they can better utilize these technologies. The center people irrigation system that you see behind us is outfitted with variable rate technologies. So I'm conducting research on how farmers can implement and take advantage of the practice of variable rate irrigation. The other area of research and demonstration that I'm working on is the use of sensors. It's either soil moisture sensors or canopy temperature sensors to implement irrigation scheduling. I grew up in Colombia, one of the countries with the highest biodiversity around the world. But I recognize that we have a responsibility and is the preservation of natural resources. I know that there are many technologies out there that can be utilized to optimize crop management and increase efficiency. So my commitment was to demonstrate and to train them on how they can better utilize this technology towards modern agriculture. Thank you.


Okay, today we're gonna have some fun with some retro animation some some ASCII Animating animations, so we're gonna get you know animations in our shell using ASCII characters Basically characters that are on your keyboard to put simply So real quick here is a website actually have two websites here Let me grab the other one here, and I'm sure you can find others with some Animation files this one obviously has a lot more. I'll try to remember put a link to these in the description if not There's the address artscene.textfiles.com forward slash VT 100 if it tells you right here what a VT 100 is basically there as I said ASCII animations used to Show animations in a terminal machine And you need to know the broad rate that you're gonna use right here These are saying a broad rate of 9600 so let's go ahead and click on one of these files like this one It says Bambi versus Godzilla we click on that and well We got some text and you can see some ASCII art here And well basically it's this is our animation. These are our frames of our animation so how do we display them what we're gonna go to our shell and You can use curl or W get or if you have the file you can cat it out And let's go ahead and have a look at how that works. So I'm gonna say I'm gonna copy this file Oops, I actually opened it. We're going to copy this address And then go to our shell and again we use W get dash Q for quiet dash Capital O dash to just get the output. So if I just run this now, I'll do that and basically we get Kind of nothing well you get the last frame. I guess I should say so if I scroll up here You get the kind of gives away the ending here of the video but Basically it's going to show each frame and overwrite So if you just cat it out, you're going to get the very last frame of it. So again if we were to Click on one of these files and look at it there's Special characters in here. They're escape characters for your shell that are going to do things like erase the screen for you Without getting too technical. So let's go ahead and try that again, but instead of Just running W get and our command which just loads it so fast We we basically played all our animation. We just missed it what we needed to slow it down again These particular ones from this website say that they use a broad rate of 9600 so we need to do is we need to pipe this into a command called PV Dash Q dash capital L and we'll say 9600 and that will give us the broad rate of what I always have trouble that We're broad rate of 9600 we'll hit enter and here is our animation It was a pretty short animation baby comes out a Bambi comes out and gets stepped on by Godzilla And then you get a little credit thing at the end there if we want to play it slower We can slow down our broad rate I'll just put down to 3600 and now we see our animation a little slower And we can even go slower if we wanted and that's Bambi versus Godzilla And again, there's plenty of these them at this site some are better than others Let's go ahead and see we're gonna look at one with a big file So you can see the file size here, which means it's probably a longer animation I'm gonna copy that link address and again We can use the same command or if you were to use curl All you have to do is say curl dash s and then give it the URL again piping it to PV And let's put this back up to 9600. Oh We got a globe and you can actually see the cursor Going across the screen on this but we got the globe spinning in ASCII art there, which is pretty cool Still going and spun a little bit now. It's continuing off again And when it gets the end we'll look at another option for this We'll go and we'll grab another one. We'll look at this one Mr. Pumpkin that sounds good. We'll say copy link address and again So in both cases we just streamed it offline. Basically, we're streaming ASCII videos in a way if you want to call it that Even though they're not video files, but you can also download the file So if I was to download this file It's right here. I can cat it into PV dash Q dash capital L 9600 and it does the same thing. Oh You had to give it the file name There we go. Oh Quick little happy Halloween and there's the art now if it does display kind of funny like this one is it might be Your font size so like I can turn my font size down Try running that again. I guess that's how that one's supposed to look But it went off the top of the screen. So shrinking it down gives me a little better display here I have my font larger than normal for these videos and If we go or go here again, this one's VT 100 net forward slash animations And they have a list of Christmas ones here zero through nine. So real quick Let's go ahead and write ourselves a little loop here. I'm just gonna copy and paste it I have it in my notes. We're gonna loop from zero through nine and we're going to download each one and put through I at a slower blood rate. So we can watch all these animations all at once A little snow action there Merry Christmas a Bird flying through the snow, I guess. Oh and a Christmas tree growing So now we're on our fourth animation little Christmas tree with a little train going around it Little Merry Christmas. Cheers. Oh little jack-in-the-box jingle bells Little bird, I guess flying to this Christmas tree. Oh And lighten up happy holidays Some of these are really short and something might I need to adjust the speed a little bit to view them properly well, it's just a little bit of a retro fun here and and Okay, sometimes this might happen So your shell might get kind of screwed up and if you try to type like I can type let me type hello world Hello world. Yeah, it's not quite working. What you can type is reset And hit enter and that should reset yourself.  Please visit films by chris.com.
