10 Completed Projects in Ghana that shook the continent Spanning the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, sharing borders with the Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, and Togo in the east, Ghana, officially known as the Republic of Ghana, is a country in Africa. Within the years, the country has struggled to grow from a level of absolute poverty to what it is now, but not fully developed. Ghana has managed to rise and attain a setane developmental stage that other African countries have not been able to attain. The infrastructural foundation of Ghana has transitioned progressively over the past 20 years, facilitating the nation's economic and developmental growth. The government and business sector have placed a renewed emphasis on infrastructure projects such as real estate investment projects, road expansion, and rail building projects in the past year. The most forward-thinking architects in Ghana have set out to address one of society's most pressing issues, building a world that can adapt to a drastically different future. Ghana has a well-balanced range of projects that have broken ground, ranging from energy and power to healthcare. Be prepared to experience everything Africa Reloaded has in store for you as you travel with us to discover 10 completed projects in Ghana that shook the continent. Please subscribe to our channel. 10. Cumansi Water Supply Project The Cumansi Water Supply Project was anticipated to cost 24 million euros in total. The project's scope of work included the installation of a 400-millimeter high-density polyethylene, HDPE. Pipeline on the Cumansi ring main, the supply and installation of a transformer at the NUS booster station, the fencing of Primpay College's reservoir site, and the replacement of a 9-inch cast-iron pipeline between Sewing Roundabout and Comfo Anakai Teaching Hospital. 9. Akua J. Interchange In Akra, Ghana, the Akua J. Interchange is a flyover. It was known as the Sankara Interchange until 2005. The interchange's construction began in September 1997 and ended in December 1999. It was the first interchange created in Ghana and it was erected during the government of Jerry Rawlings. The interchange is on Liberation Road in Akra between Ring Road Central and Independence Avenue with links to the 37 Military Hospital and the police headquarters. 8. Akra Mall The Akra Mall is a shopping mall in Akra, Ghana on the Spintex Road which runs parallel to Vatema Motorway. On July 4, 2008, the mall was officially opened. Late Joseph Usu Akyaw started it. Atterbury Property Development, Sand Law, and the Usu Akyaw family are the owners. Akra Mall has been in the forefront of a retail revolution since its inception in 2008. It has a cinema, pubs, restaurants, a dentist, and a medical center in addition to stores. The factories saw Akra Mall not merely as something Ghana wanted but as something it needed, having already invested in the creation of destination malls in other African countries. When basic items must be supplied from London, there is a chance to make a profit while also improving the quality of life. 7. Tema Motorway Interchange The Tema Motorway Interchange is a diverging diamond interchange that replaced the Tema roundabout on the Tema Motorway's east side. It connects the Tema Motorway, Aflau Road, Akesambo Road, and Tema Harbor Road with four-lane trunk roads. Following an agreement struck by the governments of Ghana and Japan, development on the second phase of the Tema Motorway interchange project is set to begin next month. 6. The Signature Apartments The seal of approval introduces a spectacular collection of premium apartments situated on twin towers with a penthouse on top. The bright development exudes refinement, leaving a lasting impression on the Akra skyline while offering amazing views of the city. The architectural orientation of a signature is essentially a work of art, unlike any other in the world. The historic and cultural significance of Ghana's adinkra symbol, M. Framadan, which denotes perseverance, strength, and sturdiness, inspired its unusual shape. The design combines African tradition with intricate architectural geometrics in a seamless manner. It features open-plan living areas, fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious baths, and private gardens on each floor with views of Africa's coolest city. Micheletti Limited is responsible for the signature's design. 5. Pocueus Interchange The Pocueus intersection is a four-level stack interchange in Akra, Ghana, located at Pocueus Junction. When completed, it will be the largest interchange in West Africa. The interchange was originally three-tiered, but the Akufo Ato administration changed it to four tiers on the suggestion of a constructor, making it the largest in West Africa. It began in 2018 and was officially opened by President Nana Akufo Ato on July 9, 2021. It runs parallel to the Ensawem Road and connects it to the George Walker Bush Highway. 4. Kijisha Market The Kijisha Central Market, also known as the Kijisha Market, is an open-air market in Kijisha, Ashanti's capital. Kijisha Central Market is located on the Ashanti Peninsula in the Ashanti Rain Forest by a region. Humacy lies around 480 kilometers north of the equator and 100 kilometers north of the Gulf of Guinea. Because of its numerous beautiful varieties of flowers and plants, humacy is known as the Garden City or Heartbeat of Ashanti and the Ashantalan Peninsula. 3. Akra Car Factory Volkswagen has constructed a vehicle assembly plant in Ghana, which is attempting to entice automakers and establish itself as a car-making powerhouse. The Akra plant will produce Ticuan, Tehramont, Passat, Polo, and Amarok models with a capacity of 5,000 cars per year. Ghana has put in place policy measures aimed at transforming the country into a West African automobile manufacturing hub by offering incentives to automotive manufacturers and assemblers who are registered under the Ghana Automotive Development Program, SHI, a DP. It has barred the importing of salvaged automobiles and some motor vehicles above the age of ten years as part of a set of restrictions. 2. Kotoka Airport Terminal Ghana Airport's company Limited, SHI-ACL, the airport operator and management, began ground on its flagship project. Terminal 3 at Kotoka International Airport, KIA, in March 2016. Terminal 1 of a new terminal was finished in June 2018 and it opened to traffic three months later. By modernizing and upgrading Kotoka International Airport into a gateway for West Africa and a regional aviation center, the country's objective to enhance its key infrastructure is supported. It also helps the economy of the country by improving market connectivity and lowering business costs. 1. Temma Port Expansion Project Phase 1. Meridian Port Services Limited successfully completed Phase 1 of a Temma Port Expansion Project on April 30, 2020, also known as Terminal 3 of Temma Port. MPS Terminal 3 was supposed to open on two berths on June 28, 2019, and the entire Phase 1 construction was supposed to be finished on June 28, 2020, according to the terms of the concession. Both deadlines were met, and the project was completed ahead of time. The accomplishment of delivering this huge infrastructure ahead of a contractual deadline of 3.5 years was due to a mix of exceptional teamwork, solid project finance, and dedicated shareholders. These are some of the projects that, when they were completed, they did not only propel Ghana forward in terms of development, but also raised living standards and accelerate economic and social development.

Alrighty, so we have a really cool update for you guys today. The restaurant is well on its way in terms of construction, and for those of you who have seen photos of the farmhouse at Cedar Point, can truly understand what to expect with this new restaurant. When we told you that it's going to look like a 5-star restaurant at Canada's Wonderland, we meant it. So really excited for you guys to see some of the things, especially the canoes. But yeah, there's some other weird activity going on. They're finally dismantling this weird, what do you call them, construction trailer behind splash rigs. It's been there since the Paramount days, but yeah, it's finally been dismantled for some odd reason. I guess just to get rid of it instead of moving it, they could just dismantle it and get rid of the wood. That's easier for no apparent reason. There's nothing to that. But yeah, as you can see here, the Pizza Pizza has been expanded for better capacity. The park is expanding a lot of its capacity in terms of being able to handle food and crowds. Cedar Fair did say on their stock will discall that they are getting their parks ready for mobile ordering. And it makes sense Wonderland's going to take a couple of years to get ready for that. Here I can't tell if Dragonfire's train is back on the track yet. I tried to zoom in and even was zooming in. It does look like there is a train in the station, but I'm not fully sure. But it looks like it is. I was told that the train should be up this weekend and if not this weekend they will definitely be up by Wednesday operations or Thursday operations next week. But it should be up and running for this weekend is what I've been told. But yeah, as you can see on the far left of the back side of that building, you're going to see cement that is going to be a patio on top of the building. So that is going to be amazing. It's going to be my lounge spot. For those of you who don't know, I literally sat on the lounge chairs, the Muskoka chairs by Flying Canoes for five and a half hours on Sunday and just relaxed and I ended up actually catching someone stealing and getting the cops involved and they got arrested. But nonetheless, it was eventful. And my new favorite thing is to just lounge at Wonderland. So I will be up there just relaxing. So hopefully they put Muskoka chairs up there. But nonetheless, if you're paying attention, there's a lot of detail in this building. And there's even a river at the bottom that they've created. And the electrical green box has been installed over there by the turnaround of Vortex. But very cool things. Just wanted to give you guys a really quick update before the park opens this weekend again. Have an amazing weekend, guys. Bye.


Our next presentation is from Sumya Ranjan and Shravan Kumar talking to the point of AI for the marine environment biodiversity conservation and social food. Hello, welcome to the session on AI for the marine environment biodiversity conservation and social good. My name is Shravan. I'm the director of clients at Susat Ramana. We are a data and AI company with presence in five locations across the world. So our solutions we intend to bring data as insightful stories. And as part of that, we have a huge body of work in the EHE sector, particularly in the underwater and marine conservation areas. Our teams have been constantly building cutting edge products that can help conservationists, managers of fisheries, aquaculture professionals and GIS officers in various organizations. I'm going to give you a quick glimpse of the solution. And our goal is to make tools and methodologies like this and technology like AI available to people in organizations that are working to solve these problems that help create a better sustainable blue planet. And in that pursuit, you work with the likes of World Bank, Microsoft Philanthropy and AI for Earth and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to name a few. So why is creating a sustainable and blue planet important? As it turns out, fishes top the list of animals that have the highest number of species that are endangered as per the IOC and Red List. The 3000 odd that are on top of this list form a part of 35,000 fish species that have ever been registered in the tree of the plan, which makes almost one out of 10 fish species vulnerable to extinction today. If that was not enough, one third of global fish stocks today are over exploited, which means they have produced using unsustainable methods, which means the margins could be lower and adding to that problem is illegal fishing that is rampant across the world. How can AI and technology solve these problems? At Grammar we believe that, you know, custom data solutions for underwater AI can help answer some of these questions. I'll start with our AI as a service for underwater species detection, which helps, which has helped in the past impact conservation groups, foundations, zoo systems, you know, identify and classify species and maintain a record of their sightings so that they, you know, are alarmed about anything that is an aberration in their accounts and sightings. And using computer vision, we have been able to achieve that and institutionalize that in multiple organizations. Using computer vision again, we've been able to estimate biomass in commercial species where there are huge tanks of, you know, fishes and there is a cycle of growth that the fishes undergo.  So biomass estimation through the computer vision, plus the, you know, environmental parameter monitoring, helps them, helps the commercial fisheries have better visibility of their produce, and also do so sustainably. Last but not least, we also have a school of GIS solution for marine management, which can help track water quality in the ocean, track ships and vessels that are not supposed to be there, and are taking part in illegal fishing. This can help ecological researchers and even commercial fisheries from, you know, falling prey to illegal fishing. So I think these three solutions can answer some of the problems we spoke about, but I quickly, you know, jump into a quick glimpse of what our solutions look like. So here in this slide, I have a couple of videos, which when played, show you that a certain fish is parking through a tunnel in which a camera trap is fixed. Whenever the fish pass through, the camera starts taking the video. And if you see here, as soon as the fish passes through the AI model is able to detect that it is a certain species.  Showing you another example of a smaller fish, but a similar tunnel. Here, not only the head, even the tail is enough for the AI to pick up that, you know, this is the classification. That has to be done for that particular fish. Right. And this has immensely helped the river conservation agency that you've worked with in the past.  Right. It requires two things, a lot of time. And secondly, the biologist knowledge or domain expertise, which helps them identify your species as it is. So we trained the AI to acquire that knowledge, and you know, tag species automatically, which helps in reclaiming all the resource time, otherwise spent in just watching videos. Now, you know, for the person who does not understand this technology, you packaged it all in, you know, a web app or an app of sorts, which can help bring out these insights or the number of sightings, the trends, if something is going too much up and down. They can be quickly notified of any aberration in the environment, which enables them to, you know, monitor this very closely. And hence, you know, draw attention to something that might go wrong. This can help a lot of conservation agencies. There's one kind of solution. And then when you bubble this up with multiple cameras and multiple, you know, locations, you can also do biomass estimation of a fish or a school of fishes. So the same thing was applied when we work with commercial fishery in Indonesia, who wanted to track in each of their, you know, fish tanks, which are huge, you know, 18 meter to 15 meter and of size, where they had these fishes, and they used to grow the fishes over a period of time. And, you know, before the solution, they didn't have any visibility of their yield, of their produce, what they're going to get, and they had no control whatsoever. We helped them achieve this by, you know, just installing a couple of cameras overhead and underwater, and a bunch of sensors that, you know, measured the dissolved oxygen, pH levels of the water, and other things that help inform the conditions in the water. And hence, correlating that with the growth of the fish. Now, when you're able to do both, you can correlate this with an AI model with precision feeding analyzer. What that means is you're able to say that based on the, you know, size of the fish or the stage of the fish growth, they're able to feed the, you know, fishes accordingly to avoid underfeeding or overfeeding. And this enables you to have better yield, better control on your environmental parameters at any given time. If there is a parameter that is going out of, you know, the ballpark, they can quickly be notified and necessary action or intervention can be taken by on ground personnel. Now, summing up all of this, the outcomes of this solution was one resource time gain, like I said, highly skilled people watching videos is no good for anyone. So we reclaimed that resource time by almost 98%.  No manual effort, all the manual effort was brought down to zero. And then in the case of biomass estimation and the commercial fishery use case, there was a huge saving over a period of three months, we observed 20% of cost savings on the feeding alone. Right. And then the bottom line, also getting impacted was kind of impact that we were able to create through the solutions. There are some success stories, but our solutions come in all forms and shape a similar technology but a different favor was used to count penguins and talk to take off, you know, classify and detect species in, you know, a natural park. We were also able to use this to avoid elephant human conflict to just give you a few examples. At last, I would like to leave a message for everyone that's, you know, looking at this is again reiterating our vision of sharing these tools and methodologies to people in organizations that are otherwise not equipped or not invested into technology. So we want to, you know, get to a stage where this AI can run on even mobile phones. And we want to build a knowledge for a database that can act as a base for others to come and build on top of it. So it's a huge shout out to everyone out there to, you know, collaborate with us. And for that, you can get in touch with us on on the links that you see that I'm a dot com. Or you can tweet to us at parameter or on my personal ID at show and legacy on the screen. Thank you, everyone for the opportunity and we hope we'll cross paths very soon. Thank you so much. Thank you for sharing show run as someone who's spent a year or so feeding fish in salmon pens in northern Scotland and has to stay up overnight with infrared glasses on to camp penguins coming up beaches from to their nest boxes. It sounds like you've got some great breakthroughs there. So thank you very much. Shevron spoke to fish species as having high extinction rate. Now I would just like to urge everyone to clear up a number of misconceptions about what the IUCN red list characterizations mean and suggest that reading the criteria will help you see why marine fish are likely a group with the lowest extinction rates of animals. But let's get on with the question and the question is going to Sumia part of show runs team. And this is really about talking about partnerships between agriculture and fisheries and it's obvious that some of the greatest growths in understanding fish stocks has come from agriculture because obviously we get a much closer view on how fish develop and so on. I'm just wondering now that you've pointed out that you're developing some of your tools for agriculture and these are going to likely to cross over to fisheries. Just give us some idea on how long it's taken you to get to where you are today where you're already talking about spreading this technology across other animal groups how long is your team been active. Thank you. Thanks Kim and thanks everyone for having us here. So we started our AI journey I think four years back with Microsoft with their AI for the initiative. So initially we started out detecting species on land like different animal species. And then we moved into drone imagery where we used to track elephants in forest and make sure there are as less human conflicts as possible and slowly moved into fisheries. So the models that we have built in housing grammar they are agnostic to any particular animal or fish in place like they would work out of the box if you have label data available. So what we do as a technology company is we have our algorithms in place which are based on state of the art models that are currently out there which do the work perfectly. When we on board a profit or a nonprofit towards right what we need from them is data most of the time they do have data it's not in a labeled format. We either help them in the labeling process or we like like we generally employ third party who comes in and labels the data which requires some expertise in that particular domain. So to answer in short it's been three and four three to four years we have been working this piece. And now we have a better visibility of how we're heading and how the industry is headed like even when I was going through the agenda of the talks that you have lined up today right. Like there's a lot of overlap in the work that we are doing even the previous speaker when he was speaking about fish ID and the work that we have done I see a lot of overlap there and that's something that that's happening across the world just that we are not connected. So if you could build a database of labeled fish and a database of good models that are out there, which are working out of the box I think that that would help everyone. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm really interested in your work it's fantastic presentation thanks to the whole team for putting it together. I'm quite interested in just the cost of investment to do what you've done in that work and and how you came to how you came to do it and also your future trajectory in terms of reaching out to people that might not have that sort of investment to to implement such technologies you know, make it more low cost more more accessible for small scale aquaculture, for example. Like I said, like we have we have a very small team in place in grammar. It's called the grammar labs and I had the team. So it's a small team like we have around 10 odd people working mostly in computer vision space. Over the past years we have developed enough expertise and we have spent countless hours building the models training them out using all the GPUs and all which is in fact impacting them on right. So we don't want people to repeat that process that's why it's not just the for profit organization we work with we work with a lot of nonprofits right so we don't expect them to like start the journey or repeat the process that we have done so far. We want people to build on top of us right like when we say that we have computer vision models, generally we have a pipeline in place and it's an active learning pipeline. We won't give you one single model right we'll give you a pipeline, which would do let's say 70% or 75% of the work that you're currently doing. And it might be anything it might be fish hiding it might be tracking it might be classification it might be biomass estimation right. Our pipeline is designed to like to be flexible enough to adapt to these kind of tasks and it would start with a decent amount of accuracy, and then you have a active learning pipeline in place which will then help you out to re label your data correct the mistakes that the model is currently doing and with time it evolves along with you. So it's like general software engineering you don't have to build from scratch, you sit on soldiers of gents and then you build on top of it. And that's what we are providing we have something called Grammix. It's an open platform it's on GitHub anyone can access it to start like using the models for their own data, and then build on top of it reach out to us if they need any help there.


What is going on guys, today I bring you another Destiny 2 video and today we're going to take a look at the newest weapon class to the Destiny universe, but before we go any further a massive shout out to Geeks for the gameplay, he's an amazing PvP player who streams on a regular basis doing trials runs and much much more, be sure to check him out via the links within the video description. Okay so what do we know about this new weapon class, well first things first it isn't actually a new weapon type to us Destiny players because it's basically what we already know as the Queen Breaker's Bolt and the Scully Pursimulant. These kind of weapons now within Destiny 2 will be known as a linear fusion rifle. So they're basically fusion rifles but fire a single shot unlike a normal fusion which shoots multiple shots after the initial charge, the linear shoots a single shot but still has that charge time. Linear fusion rifles are kind of what you get if you cross a fusion and a sniper. The Queen Breaker's Bolt is a perfect example of this, while at close range a normal fusion rifle can easily kill your opponent within PvP when hitting them to the body. The linear can only one hit with a headshot but the range on linear fusions compared to normal fusions is absolutely insane, they basically have sniper rifle range and this in my opinion is their purpose coming into Destiny 2. The linear fusion will be a weapon within the power weapon slot along with rocket launchers, grenade launchers, sniper rifles, shotguns and fusion rifles, a weapon loadout I still ain't sure about and the effects it will have on Destiny 2's PvE side but we will have to wait and see. Now the gameplay footage in the background by gigs is of the first ever homecoming mission within Destiny 2 where you have to defend the tower from the red legions invasion which we end up failing and it sparks the new story behind Destiny 2. Just against the cabal here we can see it has amazing accuracy and handling and really doesn't bounce an inch when shooting. We also see like with other heavies it doesn't hold any more ammo so the question is, is this a weapon you would use over a rocket launcher, a grenade launcher especially within PvE, weapons which are capable of taking out groups of enemies, I'm not sure I will. Unless it performs like the Salipa Simulant, more so than the Queen Breaker's both for PvE, doing serious damage but I don't think it will judging by the PvE gameplay in the background. To me it's more like the Queen Breaker's but for sure will be a fun weapon to use within PvE. A weapon much like the Queen Breaker's, a weapon I absolutely love using for the fun factor. Now it is important to remember that this is only a build version of the game which was being played on PC. No doubt many many things will change within the actual game. This weapon and the way it works could be one of them things. So the linear fusion in this video being used is called the Tarantula 3FR. We see stats as well as its charge time and mag size, interestingly its stability and handling seem relatively low yet judging by the gameplay you would think it would be high. It fires a long range position energy bolt and has a faster time to aim down sights. Now whether this weapon class has a major impact on the game which I highly doubt it will is for sure going to be at least a fun weapon to use and at the moment that's all the benefits I can see coming from this weapon if it's going to be used over other power weapons. And guys that is it for another video, thanks as always for stopping by and the continued support within these dry times of destiny. If you enjoyed your stay leaving a like is of much importance. I will as always guys see you on that next one.


a great redesigned project from the administrative and content management point of view. Instead of a detailed case study with lists like how many nodes were migrated and so on, we will tell stories about Japan, intercultural communication, and how our team addresses the challenges of creating and maintaining a bilingual website for a Japanese university with an international community. We will also offer some information about Japanese public outsourcing contracts and share our translation workflows if we have time. My name is Michael Cooper, I'm manager of digital content brand and design in the communications and public relations division of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, so that's O-I-S-T, and so we say OIST, or in Japanese, OISTOL. And my colleague Chris Wu is our senior web developer. And all views expressed here are my own. I do not represent the university and no part of the presentation should be considered an endorsement except for you going to see Chris offer his full tour of development and design issues that you face when using CJK, which is Chinese-Japanese-Korean, in web projects. So as a Taiwanese front-end developer trained in product design in Germany, who currently works in an English-language university in Japan, he has experience and perspective that is not easy to come by, so please don't miss that. So when I arrived in rural Japan in 1994, I had no Japanese training. I was teaching myself and I had a desk in an office of retired school principals. The average age of everybody was about 70 or so. So from the first day, they kept asking me, Gaijin questions, Gaijin means foreigner. Like, can you use chopsticks or do you like sushi? And I had never tried it, so I used the dictionary and replied, Wakarimasen. So Wakarimasen can mean either I don't know, which was what I was trying to say, I don't know if I like it or not, or it can mean I don't understand. So my very senior colleagues, thinking that I did not understand the question, did what every reasonable person does when talking to a foreigner who doesn't understand them. They simply said it louder, again and again. In exactly the same words, and then they started adding gestures until it became a game of charades, you know, going fishoo and things like that. And they had a really good time. Then one day, I finally got to the lesson in my Japanese book that I was using that teaches you the equivalent of I have never, which is shita koto arimasen. So I triumphantly walked into the audience the next day and said, Sushi wa tabeta koto ga arimasen. And then all of them sort of, as though they'd just woken up, they put down what they were doing and they brought me to lunch. And I had my first sushi. So my problem and the error I was making is called linguistic interference. This is when a speaker's first language interferes with their acquisition of a second. I was a naive language learner, assuming that the structures and expressions of my mother tongue were universal, that other languages were simply different vocabulary that was switched out with what I already knew. Now in web development, this would be like adding a language to a website by just adding a new PO file or installing a machine translation plug-in without changing anything else or reviewing anything else. So this is acceptable however if the additional language is clearly secondary. So there are situations where this is even preferred. If a U.S. consumer from someplace like where I'm from, which is the rural south in the U.S., buys a luxury bag to feel sophisticated and European, the other ring of the translation adds to the appeal. It makes you feel exotic and cosmopolitan, so that's a good thing. The English translation of the three-body problem by Xi Jinping does not feel like it was written in English, but that is by design. According to the Kin Nu, the narrator, the translator who brought it to the English-speaking world, he writes that the best translations into English do not in fact read as if they were originally written in English. The English words are arranged in such a way that the reader sees a glimpse of another culture's patterns of thinking and feels a trimmer of another people's gestures and movements. And Chinese history and culture are very core to the story of the three-body problem. So Du keeps you aware of that, the fact that you are reading a translation. I recommend the book. It's terrifying. So however, our university, in our university, neither English nor Japanese versions of the website can be allowed to feel foreign or to feel like a translation. Our translation process is not localization. When I talk about our website's two languages, I refer to them as sides. I say the English side or the Japanese side. Neither is secondary. Both are essential. So please let me explain why. Japan passed along in 2007 to create OIST as a new type of university with independent governance and public funding, making it a testbed for new ways to do education and science in Japan. OIST is a graduate university and all students do the same program. It's a PhD, five-year PhD in science. There are no other majors. There are no other departments. All education and research is conducted entirely in English. There are no departments, as I said. Everything from administration to architecture is designed to encourage cross-disciplinary research. And the university's 242 students represent over 50 countries and territories. Over 80% of students and over 60% of faculty are from outside Japan. And when you combine students and employees, about half of the community is international. And this is in a country where only 1.6 of the population is non-Japanese. That is a very, very low rate, a very low number of immigrants and foreigners in a country, especially for someone from a post-colonial nation like myself, or from those of you who are from Europe with all of your land borders. So Okinawa itself is also atypical within Japan and in Asia. Okinawa was an occupied territory of the U.S. until 1972. That is the year my wife was born. It's also the year that the movie The Godfather was released. That is how recently Okinawa was a territory of a foreign country. However, it has developed rapidly in these 50 years. It has the youngest population in the country of all the other prefectures. And it has a very creative entertainment industry and a very lively entrepreneur scene. However, it still ranks last in metrics like average income and economic achievement. I'm sorry, academic achievement. Now closer to Seoul, Shanghai, and Taipei than it is to Tokyo, Okinawa was historically an Asian trading hub. And one reason for founding OIST here in Okinawa was for it to act as a catalyst to create an economic innovation hub in the region. The relationship between language and identity for OIST audiences and stakeholders is particularly complex. If you sell coffee beans, your stakeholders are the roasters, your audience is the consumer, it's very, very clear and direct. You have a single message and a single voice. But for OIST, stakeholders and audience overlap and differ across language and geographical boundaries, requiring us to speak with more than one voice. So we need Japanese speaking taxpayers and policymakers, this is the prime minister by the way, to know that OIST is worth the investment by demonstrating how it benefits Okinawa and Japan. But we also need to convince the mainly English speaking worldwide community of scientists and entrepreneurs that they will benefit from working with OIST. So OIST must be two very different things to two very different communities. To maintain support from Okinawa, OIST has to be fully a part of the local community. But to be accepted as a peer by the international science community, OIST has to be truly global. This means the website has to treat both Japanese and English as the primary, the first language, neither can be secondary. We cannot make the same mistake at OIST that I made with Sushi. We cannot replace the words of an English design. We must tailor the content language and UX for both communities. We must speak with multiple voices. The current site, which is the old site, launched the day we became a graduate university and it matched the university's needs at the time. We had to rebrand the promotion corporation as a university with a new logo and a new color. We did not yet have students, we did not yet have a business development arm. So the content was mainly science and institutional news stories. OIST was the first university, public university and maybe university in Japan to use Drupal as far as I know. Maybe someone can tell me. And the most notable feature of the website was the way every page switched between languages instead of sending the user to the top page of a separate English website with content that was usually outdated and incomplete. In the ten years since the website debuted, we have almost tripled the number of faculty and grown to over 1,000 students and staff. We now have five lab buildings, a startup incubator, on-campus childcare center, an auditorium, a conference center, student and faculty housing and a seaside marine science research station. When asked about OIST challenges, German particle physicist and OIST board member Albrecht Wagner described it as a rather young university which had no example to follow so everything had to be invented from scratch.  Drupal's flexibility enabled us to accommodate this rapid change in growth with a small staff but the university is now like a teenager who has quickly outgrown their clothes or in this case the website. In Japan, April is the start of the new fiscal year. It's also the start of the academic year and the time when new graduates joined the workforce. So it is kind of a rite of passage to get your freshers suit which is a young adult's first tailored business suit. Actually the term fresher was originally freshman but they updated that during the era of womenomics to include more women in the idea when joining the workforce. OIST too having outgrown its website is now ready for its first tailored fresher suit a website built to accommodate its current size and needs. And since we are a very small team we worked with Drupal agencies and that means outsourcing. At the suggestion of one of our contractors I would like to share with you some information about contracting with Japanese public institutions. In Japan the fiscal year begins with spring and ends with winter spanning from April 1st to March 31st and Japanese public funded institutions operate within a strict fiscal year with no guarantee of budget in the next one. So no contract is allowed to span over one year for us. Each budget is also fixed so once the contract is done the work has to be adjusted to fit within the deadline and the budget. This is why we had to split this multi-year web project into phases, our stages. The vendor for each stage is chosen by either price or proposal competition and a committee makes the final decision. The same contractor can compete for successive contracts but choosing the same vendor again and again will raise suspicion. It could affect your career. So contracts cannot bridge multiple fiscal years. It is difficult to use the same vendor for successive years and this means that the project ends up being done by different partners. So with every change in consultant and vendor momentum and time are lost as the new vendor digests and often offers improvements on work done by the previous vendor and all the while this is happening the university and what it is modeled by the website are changing. So on the one hand we could finish sooner and cheaper with a single integrated contract but on the other we do get the benefit of working with expertise from more than one vendor. Please note that Japanese private businesses are different and also note that subcontracting is only allowed if you can prove in writing that it's necessary to hire a subcontractor after you get the contract and you need to tell that before or it could be invalidated. This is to prevent a cascade of contractors taking a cut and then subcontracting to smaller companies and there was an actual sort of scandal about this which is why we have this rule. Now let me switch to giving you some examples of what we have learned and continue to learn from designing a new website for the university. Please note that this is a work in progress using the old website while we prepare the content for the launch. The current website on the left was designed to establish the new logo and brand color called Vital Red and we did so by restricting ourselves to the brand color, black and white, only those three colors. The brand color ended up being the color for both links and emphasis like alert and CTAs. So as our user research showed, too much red meant that users did not know what to focus on. It was just red everywhere. So in the new design, we have added a palette of contrasting secondary colors to make the logo and brand color stand out. If you look on the right side, you can tell that the logo really does shine because you have less distraction from around it. When you launch a new identity, it's tempting to overdo it like someone talking incessantly about how they have started CrossFit. But we have to remember that if everything is the focus, then nothing is the focus. So to plan and execute our user research, we worked with English-speaking contractors. So all the materials and events were conducted in English. However, I translated all the materials into Japanese, conducted separate Japanese sessions, and translated the results back to the vendor. Since all OIST employees are fluent in literacy in English, you might think this is unnecessary, but I had a very good reason and this is a very good lesson. In a previous job, I got a great lesson in intercultural communication. The dean of faculty was chairing a meeting in which we were wrestling with a difficult problem. The Westerners were throwing out ideas and arguing while the Japanese quietly nodded and made notes. We were getting nowhere when the dean stopped the conversation and politely asked a Japanese colleague to comment. This shy professor offered a detailed analysis and insights that no one had yet considered and which were the key to finding a solution. This left her more vocal colleagues embarrassed, and I know that because I was one of them. When your culture tells you that progress is only achieved by rapid back-and-forth exchange, you will find silence. You will fill every silence to keep that tennis volley of ideas going back and forth, but if your cultural background has taught you to wait for a graceful silence before humbly offaling your opinion, you will find yourself waiting for the right moment to jump in. So Western colleagues might feel that each participant must make the effort to speak up, but sometimes you must make the effort not to speak, to allow less assertive voices to be heard, and the moderator in this discussion will create that space for us. So even though Japanese colleagues participated in user research workshops, the Japanese language workshops produced candid Japanese perspectives and insights that we would have otherwise missed out on, had we not done it. So in user research, as in discussions in general, language and communication style matter. Even in the same language community, please make sure to create space for less assertive participants to talk from losing out on ideas and insights. So moving on to more concrete lessons learned. Our current website has several layers of long pull down menus and many links send the user to an organic group site on a different server. Using organic groups was indispensable for us to keep up with the rapid growth of the university in those first 10 years, but it has resulted in a disjointed user experience for the following reasons. One, the change in look and feel after the jump is jarring and disorienting. Two, the organic group sites are managed directly by content owners who are in specific sections or divisions. So the sites tend to be too detailed for a user who is new to OIST. And three, because each site is managed by a particular working group of people that corresponds to the org chart, the navigation has come to mirror the org chart rather than reflect the needs of the user. So how to fix this? In the new site, we have reduced the number of menu choices at each level and added landing pages to act as context rich navigation hubs. Fewer choices at each stage of navigation reduces cognitive burden and encourages users to read all options before choosing. Our user research showed that when there were too many choices, users took the first one that seemed close to their goal and almost never read the entire list. Now to reflect the university's priorities but also to justify moving so many divisions and sections down a level in the top bar navigation on our website, we based the top navigation on our official strategic goals. As I just mentioned, jumping straight from top level item to user managed organic groups has resulted in an org chart based navigation. In the new site, we group information by what audiences want, not by who is in charge of it. First example, Web articles have been split by topic and audience. Web articles about institutional news and media coverage are now called just news and they sit under what is OIST. Like the about OIST part, they define the university and report how it's being presented in the media. Web articles about research are now under research as research updates. And then our business and industry innovation division joins procurement under a new title which is doing business with us This is the part of the website that buys and sells, conducts transactions and works with industry and business. However, everyone in their office wants to be on the home page and at the top of the menu so we had to explain and justify the benefit of this new architecture and get buy-in. Many of our content owners said that the following was a useful way to express it, to explain it. If you go to a dinner party at a friend's house the host will introduce you to their friends. The host says, hey, this is Lavincey, he's a medical technology exec, and this is Yatunde, she's a doctor and this is OIST, Science and Technology Graduate University and this introduction by your host to these other people, these other guests who don't know you, is the home page itself. Then based on that introduction guests ask you questions to get to know more if they want to know more. Lavincey, he's interested and his question is that first navigation choice, the first link that is clicked on the home page. Then you respond to him with more choices and more context to help him choose where he wants to go next. So this explanation turned out to be quite useful with the content owners because they understand that every step in the user journey we give the user a context-rich overview of the topic and then set of links to learn more letting them find their way to the information they want without boring or confusing them. It's that balance between boredom and confusion. So that brings me to one of our biggest challenges in the new information architecture. User testing with Treejack showed that when asked to find information about a given topic, be it biophysics or cancer research, the user starts by looking for a list of departments that have been conditioned by looking at other university websites. And peer analysis showed us that most universities do organize their content by departments because it's an administrative reality. The problem is that we don't have departments. We have no departments. And that is one of our biggest selling points. Our cross-disciplinary approach to research encourages faculty and students to combine research disciplines to find new answers and new questions. So we had to find a new way to allow the user to navigate our growing list of research units without undermining this focus on cross-disciplinary research. Luckily, our faculty had been making a taxonomy to describe their research in their own terms. The visualization set up by Chris shows the relationships between tags and units. As you can see, the relationships are neither exclusive nor restrictive. So we use this controlled taxonomy as the main organizing principle for the research content. Instead of just tagging content, we use these terms as the main skeleton of the site, linking news articles, research units, faculty members' courses, and even job posts. And in the future, we plan to link events as well. But to make it clear that these are not departments or restricted categories, we call them research specialties. But then there was an additional challenge. The taxonomy at its birth, at its inception, already had 52 terms. And we were told that it would grow as new faculty were added to the university. 52 is already large for a single user to browse through. And as some of the topics are very, very specific, like biophysics and polymer chemistry. And don't forget that user research showed that users will not read through the entire list if it is too long. But again, thanks to our faculty, we were able to designate a smaller number of broader specialties to group related ones. And we call these research disciplines. They're not departments. You can see here that biology and physics are disciplines. And they group together the research specialties. They don't group research units. And that was a very important point for the faculty. They don't want to be grouped by these broad categories. So in this visualization, the research specialties are the red dots. And the research disciplines are the large blue ones. Now, on the website, the page for biology as a research discipline shows all the research specialties it represents. One of these is biology. And another is biophysics. The page for physics also lists biophysics. So the research specialty page for biophysics lists both physics and biologies as research disciplines that it's related to, as well as the tagged research units, courses, jobs, and science news articles. This is a content pillar. This is a gathering of all the things that are tagged by that. At first, I was worried about structuring our content around 42 and growing tags, many of which are too specific for non-specialists. But I realized that having navigation hubs for topics like polymer chemistry, deep matter physics, and biology, we are writing the long tale, helping geeks to find their tribe, helping people discover that the niche that they love is one of our strengths. And if you are searching for polymer chemistry on the web and you find an entire page dedicated to it, including things like research news, courses, and even job posts, you will definitely want to know more about that institution. And that's our goal. So it is true that with so specific topics, we don't miss someone searching for fields we do not work in. So stuff like dentistry or veterinarian science, but we don't have anything to offer those people. When you define what you are, you also define what you are not, and that is the definition of a definition. So other challenges can come from the culture of Japan. For example, of these two university director screenshots, who thinks the lower one looks better? Not a real participatory group, that's cool. But at first, we thought that it did. However, the centerpiece of a Japanese funeral service is the EA, which is a portrait of the deceased in a thick black frame. Please don't be sad about this young man, by the way. He is not dead. He is a funeral director, and this image is used on his company website to demonstrate how he can Photoshop an old image into a responsible and very presentable funeral photo. However, this is a real one. This is the EA of the late former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo. And you can see, this has been in the news a lot lately, and you can see that it is not always shoulders up, but the common point of this, sometimes they have ribbons on it, but that is a thick black frame. So we just avoid thick black frames or on portraits altogether. Now, in some cases, the Japanese language itself complicates design and development. My colleague Chris will go into this more detail on Thursday. Please go to see that talk. But Japanese characters take up more horizontal space in the design. They're more complicated. And Japanese does not use white space. You know, computers and the web, and all of this was created for English, for an alphabetic system with white space in it, and Asian languages have a lot of problems with that. So this greatly complicates design. For example, the English title of this research unit breaks gracefully at word boundaries, leaving each word intact. However, if you switch to the Japanese version, and one orphan character is left stranded on the second line, and that is the last character of a four-character word. It might look wrong to you, but to a Japanese, it looks wrong. That does. But it's really hard to fix. So please remember that this is a work in progress, right? And I don't mean that this is the redesign of the website as a work in progress. I mean that the goal of us making both English and Japanese sides of the website feel equally native as a work in progress. We're still trying to improve it. We do have Japanese colleagues who ask that we improve the quality and consistency of our Japanese translations and the Japanese interface. And we are trying to do that. At the top, at the top left, the Japanese part of it changed, yes. So maintaining every page in both English and Japanese is a lot of work for a lot of people, but first of all, you need several things. One, you need a web team that can handle the complications of mixing single byte alphanumeric and double byte CJK character sets. So I greatly recommend that you go to see Chris's talk on Thursday. You also need a content management team that can handle both languages. And you need full-time trained professional translators because it is not a side task. It is a profession that demands the highest respect. And because our translators also work for projects for other clients in the university, we must optimize their time and effort. To do that, you need a good workflow. So we have been improving ours, so I would like to share it with you. We manage our team's content creation task in our project management system. We recently moved from JIRA to Shortcut. Ask Chris if you want to know more about why we decided to do so. While the developer might say, well, you can do everything directly in Drupal. This might be true, but it's not practical. And other teams have their preferred tools, and we really don't have the right to tell people how to do their jobs, especially when we're asking them for so much. So we start with a SharePoint document where we work with content owners on the source material, which is usually in English. Once the source material is finalized, we add translations of proper nouns, like people, programs, and organizations. You see, like Chris's name in Japanese or my name in Japanese, it's not a given. It's a choice. Somebody with power makes that choice when you translate a name into Japanese. Just like if you're in a university, you start a new program or a new department or something like that. You choose the name by committee usually, and that's quite arbitrary. So it's better to just get that in there at the beginning to save the translation team a lot of time. Then we run it through DeepL, which is a machine translation service to get a rough AI translation vocabulary. It saves time because it looks up all the terms for you. It gives you a suggestion about what it is, but you do have to check it. So we can't use the machine translation as it is, so our bilingual content team members do a quick check, and then we send it to the pros, the translation team, and they turn it into a piece of well-written Japanese that matches the tone and effect of the original. So once the Japanese team has finalized the content, the website editors make the changes on the English and Japanese sides of the website, and that's the whole flow of it. It involves a lot of people. It involves a lot of work. So at this point, how are we on time? Is it time for Q&A? It's 42 now, so we still have time. Okay, so I was going to offer you our video. Well, let me give a brief example of how just a menu title and should be influenced by the goals of the organization it represents. OIST has two teams working on community outreach, and they have agreed to collaborate on a user-centered list of landing pages. During planning, we realize that for the landing page title, we will need more than translation. During planning, and then the English language community only needs to know that they will be joining a sort of socially responsible organization that helps the community. In contrast, the Japanese community is looking for events and programs they can join. And local Japanese stakeholders want to know and confirm that we are working for and with the local community. So instead of using the loan word, so outreach as the English title is fine, and there is a loan word equivalent that is used by some organizations which is autorici, but we didn't use that because we needed to give more concrete example that we were really doing stuff. So we chose activities for general public and schools. This is stuff that you can do with us. Right? Lastly, this is very brief and very complicated, but we've also been doing a lot of captioning of videos, and we've found a really good workflow that I would like to share with you. Video captions are good for accessibility because you want people who cannot hear the audio to get the same quantity and quality of information that the hearing public does. Right? That's the idea behind accessibility. It must be equal regardless of what handicap or what disability you have. In the same spirit, we want English-speaking and Japanese-speaking viewers to get the same information. So captions work for both bilingualism and accessibility. So it's a high priority for me, but it is the most taxing and the most resource heavy thing that we do. So a quick run down of what is working for us right now, just in case you're in a position to use this information. And you can contact me and get more information later. But it is quite dense. So we use machine transcription and human translation, right? So if the event has simultaneous interpretation, get an audio track of that. Record that. But don't transcribe it, okay? Because that's not going to work. Simultaneous interpretation is hard. And you're always behind the original speaker. You have to drop stuff in order to keep pace. You make errors. You can't go back and check them. You can't ask them for clarification, right? So it's just going to be a reference. So just take that as audio, keep it. Then, if the event is a mixture of people speaking in different languages, and this happens at our university a lot, we'll have two people on stage, one speaking English, one speaking Japanese, and it's simultaneous interpretation. So the Japanese speakers are listening to simultaneous interpretation of English. The English speakers are listening to the Japanese part. And those of us who understand both, right? But you're going to get an audio file which has English Japanese, English Japanese, English Japanese in the same one. So first, you have to separate those audio tracks inside Premiere Pro into a Japanese-only track, English-only track. Don't mess with the times. Just split them. And then you take these two and you put them through the Adobe Premiere Pro speech-to-text feature to transcribe separately. Then you get a native speaker of each language to correct the machine transcription. Because Adobe makes errors. It doesn't know that our university is called OIST. And the number of things that it puts in there instead of that is hilarious. And there's lots of fun. We often, when we're checking these, we go back and forth to the translators and go, hey, listen to this one. It's really fun. But it is a lot of work. So you get a native speaker to correct the machine transcription while listening to the original audio. Then edit the captions for each track. So you go into Premiere and you widen out. You combine as many of them as possible to give the translators as big a chunk of the language as possible for them to translate. Because English and Japanese it's SOV and SVO. Subject-verb, object and subject-optic verb, right? You have different orders of stuff. And so it's very hard to translate word for word. The bigger the chunk, the better the translation. So you want to combine those together. Then you save each set of captions to a separate SRT file. SRT is a text file format. It's just the file extension is SRT but it is just text. It has time codes and it has the text inside it. Save those. Then you send those to the translation team. You change it to TXT, send it to the translation team. You ask them to add the translation under the transcription that's in there for each line. But not to touch the time codes. And not to use word or anything like that. Then you get those back. You combine them. I'm going to shorten this very, very much, but then you get the separate English and Japanese SRT, the text back for them. You change it back to SRT. Put it back into Premier. And then put it back together so that you have a single caption layer for English and a single caption layer for Japanese. Your goal here is that you end up with when you're watching it regardless of whether they're speaking English or Japanese the person speaking you see what is written underneath it. It's not just the translated parts. It's the whole thing. So it's a transcription that also serves as a translated caption. That's your goal and producing it obviously from this explanation is quite an ordeal but it's well worth it because we have a growing number of videos on our site which can be seen by people who are hard of hearing and people who don't understand the source language. And then you take those SRT files.  You can use YouTube's what YouTube puts out for you but those are justifiably called corruptions because they don't make sense in either language. And that really concludes my comments so I guess we move on to Q&A. So if you have any question you can use the app to submit the live Q&A or I will dispatch the microphone to you if you have a question here. Thank you. Did you find yourself needing to change the structure of pages for different languages or meaning Japanese versus English because of the way you would convey the message? This is going to go through the technical aspects of like when you do the translations and having to make the chunks bigger and how to use the T function, having context when you're using the T function stuff like that but other than that simply because it is such an ordeal to do so we don't do that often but I think a couple of times we actually have done that yes but it's not so much because of the language it's more because of the audience. See that's the thing I was trying to express right? The language and the audience they're overlapped and so what you're emphasizing what order you're emphasizing it in whether it's relevant to this language community or not and that does affect the layout of some pages yes. Chris do you have anything to add to that? I think the context is really important because sometimes English words has verb and noun together and in Japanese there are totally different words so we have to implement more context to make the translation more correct especially on yeah so for example something that Chris might be I think he is addressing on Thursday is that you know you have the word contact in the website means like who you would contact and then there's a button that you click to actually contact somebody right in Japanese those are two different terms that's you know or you know some other things you could say contact they differ depending on the context because it's not a one for one it's not the sushi thing right that you need context to determine what the translation is next Chris someone over here Chris. Thanks so you mentioned accessibility I'm a product designer I work specifically in accessibility and I'm interested in how you build that into your flow if you do sounds like you do and whether or not you get a lot of pushback and if you do get pushback how do you overcome that and basically yeah that process the organization has been growing and changing so fast and both of us have done training at the place in Utah I've forgotten the name now the place at the University of Utah that specialized WebAIM WebAIM we've both done training at WebAIM and accessibility and it's very important to both of us and so we sort of start out as a standard built in but for things that demand a lot of resources like captioning the videos there is pushback yeah you explain it to the content owners and to the people who have authority that we have the whole language thing and the accessibility aspect of it so it makes it easier to pass I think because when you say you're going to be alienating a stakeholder then it's a much more convincing than saying that you have to be compassionate to people who cannot understand it so unfortunately it's a terrible thing to say I think to answer the question about the UX I think we can go to the diagram because that is a very important one because our professors because they are interdisciplinary they are not like to be categorized into one small section or category so we have to try to convince them we do need a smaller set of the category to help users to navigate to your unit so we use the three circles diagram so the inner part is our suggested category and we show them how can user access to our website by looking at for example the chemistry the biology the simple term that user may understand easily if they are not a general academia audience so we use that to convince them and they finally accept that so it was a quite kind of a long let's just stop there and say it was quite but the cognitive burden and sensory integration these are also accessibility issues so actually the funny thing is that the faculty when we showed them this they said oh this is great it really shows how interdisciplinary we are let's use this as the interface for the website and they are brilliant people but you have to sort of say this would be an accessibility nightmare I can't even use it because I have to see all the letters and my handshake it's just next first of all thanks for a great talk that was all very very interesting with the organization the university's commitment to having the English side and the Japanese side and obviously the effort and the cost that must go into maintaining both sides of that translation is that something that was always there in the university from day one or is that something that had to get developed and built into the culture over time and if so how was that achieved no actually was well I mean the commitment to the bilingual website was there from the beginning but the origins of the project is that Koji Omi who is this politician he was at one time he was made the minister for Okinawan affairs because there's this especially for Okinawan and northern affairs because they are kind of economically disadvantaged and then he was also made at the same time the minister for technology and he said I'll combine these and you know I'll make this thing and then he teamed up with Akito Arima who was the former president of Tokyo University and when he was at Tokyo University he tried to internationalize Tokyo University and he just got pushed back and pushed back and he just got so frustrated he said you know great fine I'll create an international science technology university with this guy Koji Omi as far away from Tokyo as possible I don't think that he was that spiteful about it but that's what happened you know it works you know something that's very very experimental and they put it as far away from the capital as possible just in case it blows up but it's working out very very well so from the beginning the charter was that it would be over half non-Japanese and as I mentioned 1.6% folks you know that's an amazingly small number of people who are foreign living in a country and he really wanted to make a very international place to open up Japanese science and innovation to the world and we're making slow progress on it I mean it's not too slow but you know it's a tough thing to do and we're getting there we just had our 10th anniversary so hello so you guys seem to have a long-term vision on these multi-disciplinar things how do you prevent becoming those blue dots in the center of your diagram becoming departments okay so we don't have to try to prevent that because our faculty and our students come to us they leave places like MIT or they say no to places like Caltech and they come to us because that's what they want it's the biggest draw for these people you know when you are a professor at some American universities you spend all your time writing grant proposals you're in the physics department you can't use this DNA machine or something like that or the equipment is owned by a particular unit you can't get to it you can't try out new things very easily we have our main equipment is all in this common department where there are technicians and people to help you use them so if you are a physicist and you say you know what this postdoc has a good idea let's try using DNA analysis and combine that with this mathematical model and do this and do something completely new it's very very easy to do and that's the appeal if we get departments then it will be more and more difficult to do that the faculty will not allow it so the making this you know oh wow I got something different on my screen it never showed oh dude wait a minute how do I show it I have to end the slide show so sorry it's not going there either so that's why everybody was laughing I just thought they liked the visual can I just follow up with the answer you asked how to prevent that I think it's a very good time to promote Drupal as well because Drupal do you help us to prevent these kind of things happen so we have a lot of unit and at the beginning when we designed this project we created a content type for a unit and later we know there are some professor they want to align with the others create some group or how was that the content content pillar the content physics they condensed yeah so they they will try to group them for example the marine science station there will be for example three or five different unit together together so later we we developed another content type for unit collection so thanks to the reference so it will be very easy to bring the existing content create once and use it all over the place okay so it seems it's time thank you very much for your attendance I'm very humbled to have so many people attend and it's an honor to have been able to speak here thank you very much have a wonderful day yeah so I brought Okinawan sweets so they're small shortbreads the shortbreads are traditional they contain pork fat, they contain lard but they're little shortbreads and then also raw cane sugar from Okinawa and please take as many as you like this is just all for people who've shown up today


A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hi-o silver, the Lone Ranger. A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hi-o silver, the Lone Ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tato, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere on the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on Silver, let's go because I'm Silver! Jeff Ward came into the west with his wife Ada and his young son and settled on a homestead claim a few miles from the town of Clearwater. After years of hard work, Jeff and Ada managed to prove up their claim. During this time their son Jimmy had reached the age of eight and during those years Ada had become increasingly unhappy. She finally decided on a drastic course of action. Little Jimmy was asleep when she announced her decision. To Denver? You mean you're going to leave me, Ada? Not permanently, I'm sure. What do you mean by that? Jeff, I'm going to give you a chance to prove that you're the man I believed you were when we married. You mean my gambling, huh? Yes. When you can show more love for me and Jimmy than you do for Joe Kirk's tavern, I'll come home. You going to take Jimmy with you? No, Jeff. I'm not. But Ada, he needs his mother. Right now Jimmy needs a father. In the past year he hasn't seen enough of you to hardly know you are his father. Yeah. See what you mean. Will you? Will you take good care of him, Jeff? Yeah, Ada. I promise. Keep that promise for six months, Jeff, and I'll come home. It was almost a month later, and Jeff Ward's promises to his wife had proved no more worthy than they had before she left. The hawk-faced dealer in Joe Kirk's gambling house raked in the chips from the table, then looked coldly at Jeff.  Let me have a stack of Tim Bluens, will you? I'll pay up when I win a pot. Nothing doing is cashing the line in here and you know it. As much as I've lost over this table, you can trust me for just ten more. Not me. I don't trust nobody. I'll see Joe Kirk about this. You'll let you know where I stand with him. You bet he will. You may learn how I stand with him. I'll get away from that chair and let somebody else sit in with cash. Meanwhile, the lone ranger and Toto had made camp beside a small stream that cut through a deep and timbered glade. Toto was preparing supper on the glowing coals of a campfire, when the last man said quietly, Toto, it looks like we're going to have company for supper. Oh, little boy with knapsack. Here they watched the approach of a very small lad who was having difficulty walking under the weight of a clumsily rolled blanket, which he carried strapped to his tiny shoulders. When he was certain that the boy saw them, the lone ranger greeted him pleasantly. Good evening, young fellow. Hey, you're wearing a mask. Are you a bandit? No, I'm not a bandit. Neither is Toto. Then why do you wear a mask if you're not an outlaw? Oh, I have a special reason. But don't be afraid. Toto and I are your friends. I'm not afraid. I watched you ride in here and make camp a little while ago. Well, won't you join us for supper? Don't mind if I do. I'm kind of hungry. Good. We have plenty to share.  Certainly. We're glad to have company. Help him off of these blanket rolls, Toto. Ah, oh, it's kind of big and kind of heavy. Yes, it's mindy heavy to carry for 20 miles. 20 miles? Have you walked that far? Sure. It must have been all of 20 miles. Thanks, Indian. My name, Toto. Mine's Jimmy. Are you traveling far, Jimmy? Not very far. I guess I'm almost there now. I'm going to Denver. You know where Denver is? Yes, Toto and I have been there many times. Oh, you have? Then maybe you know my mother. She's there. Who is your mother? Ada Ward. She went to Denver to see Grandma and Grandpa. I don't believe I know her, Jimmy. But does your father's name Jeff Ward? Sure. How do you know that? Oh, I've heard of him.  All right, Jimmy, this is part of my gear. Get you in and help yourself. Golly, this is swell. You can buy a campfire. And while we eat, you can tell Toto and me all about your mother and dad. Meanwhile, in Clearwater, Jeff Ward entered Joe Kirk's office at the tavern. I want to talk to you a minute, Joe. Yeah, I want to talk to you, Chip. Close it over and sit down. Since when isn't my credit good in your place, Joe? Your dealer just refused to advance me 10 chips. I know. I told him to turn you down. You told him to? Yeah. He did it on my orders. Here's why I did. See these? Yeah, I see them. I owe yous $5,000 worth of them. But my homestead claim stands back of them, Joe. You know that? Yeah, I know it. But that's all a place is worth. It's mine now, Jeff, not yours. You mean you're going to take my farm? I will unless you listen to reason. How do you mean? A couple of friends of mine hit town today. They've got a little job to pull off, but they need another man. Why don't you help them? Well, I got plenty to do here at the tavern. Now, Jeff, if you will help out my friends, I'll tear up these IOUs and give you a little cash to boot. Well, what is it they want done? I'd rather they tell you about that. Is what they want done on the level? Why? If it's dishonest, I'm not going to do it. Listen, Jeff, you've got a wife and kid. You've almost lost your wife already. If she finds out you've gambled away your homestead, she'll take the boy. She'll wash you out complete. But you wouldn't take my farm away from me, would you? I'll pay you back eventually. I don't do business that way. Unless you help out my friends, I'm taking over that spread of yours within a week. They'll make up your mind. Why are these two friends of yours? I don't want you talking to them in time. They'll drop around to your place and tell you what they want done. Right. Meanwhile, could I get back in the game for an hour or so, Joe? Sure. Here's some chips. But when they're gone, don't expect any more. I'll get going, Joe. Darkness had fallen over the secluded camp of the Lone Ranger, long before a young Jimmy Ward had finished eating the ample supper Tonto placed before him. As he ate, he told how lonely he had been since his mother went away, and how he had decided to go after her. Then the good food and the warm fire brought on drowsiness. And as Tonto began to clean up the camp and gear, the boy fell asleep. It was then that the masked man spoke.  He doesn't know Denver's 200 miles from here. That's right. Him think Denver just overhealed, maybe. Yes. He doesn't realize he's not more than two miles from his own cabin. Oh, him say 20 miles. What do we do with boy King of Sully? I'm going to saddle Silver and take him home. I don't think he'll wake up. Maybe his father worry about him now. I doubt that, Tonto. It's my guess, Jeff Ward's in town. Doesn't know where his son is. In fact, we should teach Jeff Ward a lesson he'll never forget. And how we do that? I've been thinking it over. I'll take Jimmy back home and put him to bed. I want you to ride in the town. I'll ride out a telegram to Jimmy's mother. I want you to send it to her. Then find Jeff Ward and bring him home. I want to talk to him. Huh. He's had a scouting superman. As the Lone Ranger anticipated, young Jimmy was so tired by his two-mile journey carrying the heavy blanket roll that he never awoke when Tonto picked him up and handed him into the arms of the masked man. A half hour later, he was sound asleep in his own bed, totally unaware that he was not sleeping underneath the blanket of stars outside. The Lone Ranger closed the door of the bedroom and sat down in the living room to wait for Tonto and Jeff Ward. Soon he heard two horses approaching. And he wondered if Tonto had met Ward on the way into town. Oh, puzzle, he did not get up from the chair as he heard a knock at the door. I'm in. We hope we find your home, Ward. Hey, he's masked, but what's your idea? Hey, what's the idea of a mask, Ward? Isn't it practice already? I'm in the habit of wearing a mask. You don't mind, do you? No, me and Pete don't mind. Only we're kind of surprised by what Joe Kirk told us about you. We didn't think you was a back trailer. Joe Kirk's got a lot to learn about me. We thought you was a tender foot. In fact, me and Pete didn't favor taking you in with us. Only Joe Kirk insisted. Did he tell you what we wanted to discuss with you? No. Of a chair. Hey. You tell the bug. First off, we want to know if we're sure you won't back out on us after we explain. Joe told you I was here through to me. Yes, he did. He said you'd have to or else. Or else what? He'd foreclose on this spread you've got here. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you? No. Then you work with me and Pete like we tell you, and Joe Kirk will tear up their my old use. He's got. That's not all. You'll come out with some cash besides. Then let's hear the proposition. But here it is. The stage from Denver comes through about day break day after tomorrow. Be carrying the payroll for the mine of Clearwater. Me and Pete are going to hold it up when it reaches the top of the grave near the old pine tree. You know where I mean. Yes, I know the place. But where do I come in on the deal? It's this way. They may have detectives riding as passengers in the stage. We want you to go to Beaver Falls. You board the stage as a passenger. Then when me and Pug stick it up, you'll be in a position to keep the passengers from causing trouble, you say? Yes, I understand. Of course you may not have any trouble at all. If there's no detectives aboard and nobody goes for a gun, it'll be easy for you. In fact, nobody will know you're in on the job. You can ride on after the hold up and nobody will suspect you. You say me and Pete don't want nothing to upset our plans. We want you to be riding inside as a passenger just in case. Yeah. Can we depend on you, Ward? Yes, you can depend on me to be there. That's the way to talk, Ward. Now, one more thing. Yes? You better ride out of here before daybreak. You want to be in Beaver Falls when the stage comes through. I understand. And where will I meet you after the hold up? In Joe Kirk's office at this tavern. He'll tear up the IOUs when we split the door. Now, come on, Pug, I better get going. I've got to turn in and get some sleep. Yeah. Now, by the way, I won't be wearing a mask when you're on the stage. We got to know what you look like. Yeah, I forget about that. Take off that mask and let's have a look at you. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments all to continue our story. Two bandits, Pug Owens and Pete Lather, had mistaken the Lone Ranger for Jeff Ward, whom they expected to help them in robbing the stage from Denver. After making the arrangements and still thinking they were talking to Jeff Ward, Pug and Pete asked the masked man to remove his mask so they'd know him later on. You'll be riding the stage. You look like any other passenger to me and Pete. Sure. We got to see what you look like so we don't make any mistake and maybe shoot you if there's trouble. Now, let's have a look at you, Ward. Do you hear that horse? He must be yours, Ward. We left ours in the timber bag of the house. Yeah, it's mine. He's hitched out drunk. What about it? Both of you'd better get out of here. Someone's coming up the trail. How do you know? That horse of mine hears him. That's why I nickered. You better hurry. That one should be seen hanging around my place. You reckon you're right. Come on. Yeah, we'll see you later, Ward.  Someone gets here. You can hear them coming up the trail now. As Pug and Pete rushed off the back door, they didn't know the great white stallion, Silver, had recognized the approach of Tonto's horse scout and had nickered and had been answered by the latter. They were well away from the cabin when Tonto entered with Jeff Ward. This Jeff Ward came with us, I mean. Ben Ward, I've been waiting for you. Yeah, the Indian said you'd be here. Man, I wasn't expecting anything like this. What do you mean? Joe Kirk said two fellows would be around to talk things over with me. But he didn't say one was an Indian and the other'd be wearing a mask. I see. Well, don't let that bother you. Well, in your business, I guess, a mask comes in right handy, eh? Yes, very handy. Oh, did Kirk explain what this is about? No. But I've got an idea. Well, it's the stage holder. Are you willing to help out? I sure don't like the idea. And I guess I've got no choice in the matter. What do you mean? I'm in a tough spot. See the pitch in with you two in this robbery? I lose everything I've got, including my family. Your family? Yeah, my family. I've got a little boy sleeping in that room yonder. Yes, I saw him. And I've got a wife in Denver. I've made a mess of things, mister, a mighty bad mess. I haven't done right by my family, and I stand to lose everything I've got. But you think by going through with this robbery, it will straighten everything out, huh? Yeah, Joe Kirk keeps his word, it will. And he'd better, or I'll kill him. I see.   The stage will be stuffed at the old pine tree on the Denver Trail. I know where it is. What do you want me to do? Nothing. Just see that no passenger leaves the coach during the whole trip. What about my boy Jimmy? He'll be left here by himself. It won't be the first time he's been left to look out for himself. Will it warden? No, I can not. But? But what? Well, something should happen, and maybe I'd be shot and killed. He'd be left here alone. It might be days before I ain't going to think to come up here looking for him. I'll be riding as a passenger on the coach. I could take him along with me. Nobody would suspect a man with a youngster. All right. And be ready to ride out before daybreak. We need plenty of time to get to Beaver Falls. The stage from Denver had reached Beaver Falls, and the tired horses had been exchanged for fresh ones. But the driver did not pull out for clear water. There was an air of impatience among the passengers. Oh, driver. Yes, this is one. Hasn't he arrived yet? No, he hasn't. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. He's not. Hasn't he arrived yet? Not yet. We pulled in here ahead of time, so he should be riding in any time now. There comes somebody now. Oh, yes. I'll go meet him in case it's him.  We won't see you. Oh, oh, there. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Golly, Daddy. There's a stagecoach now. All right, Jimmy. Take my hand and slide to the ground. Don't let me fall, Daddy. I won't. There you are, Jimmy. Easy there. There you are. Hello. Howdy, mister. You Jeff Ward? What'd you say? I said, are you Jeff Ward? Sure, mister. That's my daddy's name. My name's Jimmy. Good. We've been waiting for you, Ward. Waiting for me? Yeah. We got in a half hour ahead of time. The Sheriff's Telegram was waiting for us. He said you might be a little late getting here if you were totin' double. Oh, Daddy, look. There's Mark. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There he is. There's Mom. Ada. Wow. Jimmy. Daddy didn't tell me we were going to meet you, Mom. Surprised him, eh, Ward? I didn't kiss Mom and Jimmy. Dolly, but I'm so bright. I'm not. Let me kiss your father. Ada. Oh, Jeff, so good to see you and Jimmy again. And you're so brave. Brave? The Sheriff said in his Telegram that when you heard about the plan to stick up the stage, you insisted on coming to Beaver Falls and riding shotgun until we got the clearwater. Of course, I knew why you did that, Jeff. You knew I was on the stage. Oh, Jeff, you're so brave to do this. Where do you figure the sidewinders will try to hold us up, Ward? Didn't they? Didn't the Sheriff tell you? No, he just said you'd explain. I figured, however, that the most likely sport would be at the top of the grade near the old pine tee. That's it. Then we'll be ready for him, won't we? So leave your horse in the stage company, we'll take care of him. You'll find a new shotgun with plenty of ammunition up on the box. Just climb up and we'll be getting on our way. Oh, Daddy, let me ride up there with you. No, Jimmy, you'd better ride inside with your mother. You might get hurt riding up there. All right. But I'm going to tell her a secret I didn't tell you. A secret? Sure. About an Indian named Townell.  What do you know about an Indian named Townell and a mask man? I told you I had a secret. The Indian and the mask man are friends of mine. And I'm going to tell Mama all about them. Why'd we stop here, Kimmy? I told the Sheriff we'd wait here for him and his deputies. The stage comes soon now. Yes, just do any minute.  Who's that?  Look, come on. Do as they say, Toto. They've got the drop on us. You bet I got the drop on you, you two-time and sight-winder. One movement, I'll blow you apart.  He's the one all right. Yeah, but who's the Indian? You didn't see him at the wards, please. I know him. You do. He's the Indian who came to my place last night and told Jeff Ward somebody wanted to see him. He and Jeff left the tavern together. Oh, that's it. They're working in cahoots. Ward double crosses just like you guessed, Joe.  Listen, the stage's coming up over the grade now. We can't stand here, Joe. Hug you and Pika want to stick it up like you're playing the first place. I don't want to be seen by the driver. He knows me. Yeah, he know you sure. Come on. Yeah, we'll meet you when we turn up the horses, Joe. Right, get moving. Oh, Mr. U and your Indian pal can shock them guns.  Unbuckle your gun belts, let them drop to the ground.  I'd suggest you check your home gun before getting so tough, Kirk. Check my gun?  Give me that gun.  There, that's better. It's misfire. Got him, Tutto. You got him. They're waiting till your friends left before I did that, Kirk. Their guns were loaded. So was mine. Oh, you're mistaken. I saw to that when I ransacked your office early this morning to get these. Where'd you get those IOUs? I just took them. I dropped into your place in disguise to check on your games. I've known a lot of crooked gamblers, but you're about the most brazen of them all. I'm giving these back to war. You can't do that. It's robbery. You're a fine one to be talking about robbery. You'll never get away with this, Mr. My boys get through with that job down there. They'll be either dead or in jail. What? The sheriff and his deputies have been waiting for them to ride into sight. Did you say the sheriff? Yes, that's right. Come on, Kirk. We'll join him. The shooting's over now. The sheriff wanted you alive. They've got a lot of score to settle with you. That evening, Jeff Ward and his wife and son had a happy reunion. But as darkness closed down on their cabin, Jimmy fell asleep in his father's arms. Jeff and Ada quietly put the little fellow to bed. When they returned to the living room, Jeff said, Ada, I can't go through with it. I've got to tell you the truth. The truth about what? Sit down, honey. I'll tell you everything. For the next 30 minutes, Jeff told his sordid story. How he had neglected little Jimmy. How he had gambled in Joe Kirk's tavern until he had lost his home. And then he told how, in desperation, he had agreed to take part in the robbery of the stage, believing that the masked man was one of the robbers. When he had finished, Ada put her arms about his shoulders and kissed him. But you've learned your lesson, haven't you, Jeff? Yes, and it's been a bitter one, Ada. I'll never gamble again. And I'll be a good father to Jimmy. But there's one thing I don't understand. What is it? How you came to be on the stage. Why, I got Jimmy's telegram. Telegram? From Jimmy? It said, Daddy needs you. Come home, please. But Jimmy couldn't send a telegram. It was signed Jimmy by permission of a friend. Well, now I understand. Then he must have met the masked man before I did. Just like he said. I'm sure he did, Jeff. Jimmy wouldn't lie. And he said Tondo told him a real secret. Did he tell you what it was? Yes. He said the masked man is the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger?
