Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am Krista Burns at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is Library Commission's weekly online event where we cover all sorts of NLC-related topics or anything of interest to libraries and librarians across the state of Nebraska. We have guests come in and do speaking here, also with NLC staff, as we are going to have today. We do these sessions, one-hour sessions every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time. So you can log on here live to that, and we do record the sessions as well if you are not available on our Wednesday mornings. This morning we have Alana Navatani from Library Commission who is going to talk to us about Google Maps and you can do those for your library. So I am going to pass things over to Alana behind everyone else. So, well good morning everybody, thanks for joining us today. Today I am just going to talk about Google Maps, and I can tell you right now I'm definitely not going to be covering everything that Google Maps can do just because there's just so much there. I just wanted to be able to show you some of the features just enough to get you started, maybe interested in exploring it a little bit more. I have a few slides today, but most of them are just going to be URLs, so what I'd like to do is jump out to Google Maps and just start showing you around. Anytime when I'm presenting if you have a question or need me to slow down or speed up, just give me a holler, raise your hand or something, or just go ahead and start in the text chat typing the message. I am going to be showing and moving around a lot when I go live out to Google Maps, so I'm hoping that will carry over okay to each of your computers. You start to see them moving images or moving around too much again, just let me know and I will try to slow down. So with that said, let's go ahead and jump out to Google Maps. Just a second here, I'm rearranging my screen so I can see the text chat box of just a second before I get started here. Okay, hopefully now everybody can see the Google Maps screen. I should tell you, I did go ahead and already logged on to my Google account. You do not have to have the Google account to use Google Maps, but if you do have a Google account, you can actually save some of your maps. So that's what I've done today because I do have some examples I've saved. It's easier than me trying to type in long URLs or searches. So I've logged on already so you'll notice that it's a go through Google Maps. All of you today, have you guys played with Google Maps before or looked at Google Maps? Martha has. House of Hands. Yeah, Crawford and Laura. How about you guys at Stanton Home? You guys played with Google Maps at all? Okay, well, maybe Laura stepped out. We'll go ahead and start off here is just the basic Google Maps screen. First of all, I'm just going to show you some of the basic ways to navigate. On the left-hand side, you will see this plus and minus bar. You can use that to zoom in or out. Plus obviously zoom in, minus, zoom you out. Okay, great, Laura. You can use that to map. Okay, so you'll be able to carry a lot of the map over into the Google Maps also. Another way to zoom in or out in Google Maps is if you have a mouse that has a scroll wheel on it, you can just go ahead and scroll in or out. So that works pretty slick. Then you can also move around the map. And again, there's a couple of ways to do that. You can use on the top left-hand side of the map here. You can see these arrows. Clicking on them will move you in different directions. Or you can, just when you see the hand, just go to the map and drag the map around. That's my preferred way of navigating in Google Maps anymore is to use my mouse so I can either just scroll in or drag the map around. Let's go ahead and talk a little bit about searching. Up here is the search bar. And Google is pretty flexible about how you can search. You can search for an address, a known address if you have it, that's pretty straightforward. But you can also search for a business or a place of interest.  So I can do search for McCook, Nebraska, and search. See now it took me right here to McCook. I can do other types of searches. Like I said, for a place I could do a search for the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge. I can do even a very generic search. I can do libraries in Nebraska. And I've also had luck when I searched. I can search with Nebraska spelled out or I could just do any. It usually works for me either way.  So I could do library and I could talk to anyone in the Lincoln zip code and find libraries within that specific zip code. I've been a little bit more searching throughout the presentation today, but I want to show you a few other options that are available for your maps. You'll see across the top here. And you usually appear in the right-hand corner of my screen. It's kind of scrunched today so you can all see it. But this usually does appear more towards the right, not across the top in the center. And you'll see the first option on the far right is terrain. And so that's, if you click on that, you're actually going to see a terrain view of the map. Next option there is satellite. And the satellite images are not live. They are actually one to three years old. It depends on when they were taken. So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to do a search for poker Nebraska. And you can see now as I zoom in, you can see the satellite view. There's also an option to show or hide labels. So right now that it's on, you can see the street numbers and labels. If I take that off then I'm just down to a satellite view. Now how far you can zoom in really depends on the part of the country you're in. As you can see here, Pilgers, but a pretty rural area. And it tells me, sorry, we don't have an image at this zoom. So I can't zoom in any farther. But let's take a look at a few other places. And I need to put my labels back on so I can actually see where I'm at. I'm going to go ahead and zoom into the Bellevue area now. And there's off at Air Force Base. So you can see there's a runway off it. And then some of the housing develops right around off it. And you can see now here in Bellevue, the largest city, I can zoom in a little bit farther than I can when I was out in Pilger. One of the other interesting things you see when you zoom in or out, if you find interesting things like, I'm going to find it again. I don't know if you can see this or not, but it says you make America proud. So someone has either somehow or another put that into the field. My guess is it looks like an empty field that maybe they, when they're disparate or cloud or whatever the proper word is, put that in there. So I'm guessing they do that so when people land at office or take off at office, they look down and they can see that from the air. So it kind of needs to be able to see these from the satellite if it is in Google Maps. That is very cool. Did you know that was there ahead of time when you thought it by accident? I thought it by accident. Oh, okay. Well, not today. Yeah, I know. I mean, you didn't know that you could go most of it. You were just looking around office. Yeah, I was looking around Belgium and ran across this one, but if you actually start doing some other Google searches for like Google Maps and Easter eggs and those type of searches, you will find people out there that collect these types of places and do keep a list of them. Let's take another. I'm going to go to the Statue of Liberty in New York. So I just talked in Statue of Liberty and since I've done the search already, it filled in the New York for me already, but here is the island. You can see as I zoom in, there is, we're looking down now to the satellite view, the Statue of Liberty. When I move around like this and zoom in and out, are you guys still able to see what I'm showing you while I'm moving too fast? I should rephrase that. Can you see okay yes or no? Oh, great. I'm happy that's working. I was worried that might be a problem. So I'm going to go back and actually go back to Pilger again. I'm going to click on Pilger a couple times today. Satellite options. Next to that, the left is Map and that's just what you normally think of as a map. It shows the streets and roads and have them all nicely labeled. And to the left of that is More. Now this is kind of cool. You can show photos, videos, Wikipedia entries, and even webcams. So I'm going to show them all here and you'll see why I picked on Pilger today. There is the Wikipedia entry for the Talbot of Pilger and I can't say there's a Wikipedia entry for every town in America, but I haven't found one yet that doesn't have an entry. So we told you to read a brief story about Pilger and then I do have a link here to go up to the floor. I'm interested in it. And then you'll see also on Pilger there's a little black box with kind of a heavy black frame around it. And on that, this is actually a YouTube video that the Pilger Library did. So that little black box there represents a video from YouTube. So if I wanted to, I could actually watch the video now. I'm not too sure how that would come across with this live presentation, so I'm not going to click on it and show it to you. You'll have to come on your own time and look at it if you'd like. And then I'm going to have to zoom out because there's actually no pictures in Pilger. Zoom out a little bit. There we go. So what's up with Pilger here is a picture.  It is... I think I'd probably compare it to kind of like Google or Flickr, but not exactly the same. If you do put, anybody can load pictures up onto the website. And then people behind the software will look at them and if they're approved and assuming that you have taken the time to map your photo when you upload it, then your image could potentially end up on both Google Maps and Google Earth. Google is specifically working with this site for their photos, not just any photo that might be in like Picasso or Flickr. Correct. So yeah. We are working together with this company. And you know, I'm not sure if Google owns them or not. I'm not sure on that one. It is interesting to see images. I am going to go ahead and zoom out a bit more just so you can see an idea of what's all out there. Okay, let's go ahead. I'm going to remove the Wikipedia one because there's a lot of those.  And there's just a few webcams. And we can get rid of, let's get rid of the videos. And we're still down to a lot of photos. And then we'll turn it off, and we're back to the maps now. The last item you'll see here is traffic. And this one only appears when there is something on the map where there's traffic information. And let's just say there's got a whole lot of traffic information available in Nebraska. If you zoom in to Omaha, you can see now these dark green lines means traffic is moving fast in Omaha. So that could be helpful if you are getting to a larger city. But like I said, right now, Omaha is the only location in Nebraska that has traffic information. And then there is one other option. I'm going to go ahead and... I zoomed out far enough. You can see all those stop lights. That actually is the different locations that do have traffic information. I'm behind that. And let's go to... I'm going to go over here and zoom in on New York. Oh, I had to turn my search yet. I just made the map order here because I thought I was kind of seeing what was showing up. Almost Pittsburgh. There's Baltimore. Up to New York. There we go. This is the path to my skills and I'm failing. Yeah, I'll give you a few skills. That's what I have Google Maps for. So I'm not meeting anyone. I just went ahead and did it. Even though I got across there, I went ahead and did a search for New York. No, it's still not showing up. There should be another option up here that sometimes shows up for public transportation. So when you're in places that have subways and really love to find bus lines and stuff, that option shows, but for some reason, it is not appearing today. And I did have to go out to some place to get bigger, like New York to even give this information since it's not available in Nebraska. So I guess you just have to trust me on that. Sometimes it does work and that's there. Yeah, it shows the map of the stages. It actually usually shows a line showing where the road is. Yeah, so. Oh, well. Well, now that we've zoomed in and out, let's go ahead and I'm going to expand and show my panel again. And I'm going to go ahead and get directions. So I'm going to take a trip across Nebraska. I am going to go from Falls City, Nebraska. And I know these because I'm logged into my account and obviously I was practicing before this section. So it has a save free zone. I'm going to go from Falls City to Shadrins. I'm going to go ahead and take get directions. And you can see now it takes me up to Falls City, up into Lincoln, it takes the interstate over, and heads me up through Alliance. And you'll see on the left-hand side now, under driving directions, it actually gives me suggested routes and it has three of them listed there. You'll see the first one is that I81 is highlighted right now. I'm pretty straightforward. And if I put my mouse over the second one, UF 20, that one as you can see, I'm just going to click on it and show, that will be the only route shown on the screen here. It takes me up through Norfolk. The problem is hearing me. Could you please check if you can hear me? Or I can. Crawlford, Lincoln. And Susan said I'm back now. So, okay, well, let me know if you lose me again. As you can see, I was saying, here's the second route called UF 20. So, Marcus said I'm still a little faint-talking. I will try to speak up a little bit. So, here is the UF 20 route. Now, the third route really makes me wonder, if I had to click on the third route, it's taking me another route through UF 20. What is it doing? It's taking me through Iowa, up to Sioux City. So, you know, I like the scenic route probably quite a bit, but going through Iowa to hit to Shadron, just a little too far from me. So, when you do get directions on ending maps, and this is not just Google maps, it's any maps that I've ever played with online, just kind of make sure you look at it and do a little bit of common sense. I'm going to go ahead and switch back to the I-80 view. And now, again, Google is trying to pick the route. It's probably trying to pick the fastest route with this, because this tells me it's 556 miles. It tells me it's going to take nine hours. Again, I'm a little hesitant personally when it tells me how many hours. I don't always find it to be quite accurate. I think it really depends, of course, on the type of roads you're going on, because here, we'll be hitting the interstate for quite a ways, and then some of the final roads in the panhandle, you can go a little faster than, you know, 65 sometimes instead of 60. That's one of the great things about Google Maps is it has this nice route for me, but maybe I know I want to change it because, personally, I like driving highway 2. So what I can do is I know right here is highway 2. I'm going to go ahead and make this map bigger because I can't quite see the good zoom in is the way I'd like to. I still don't have enough of it. There we go. That works pretty well. I can grab hold of this line and move it. So you can see now I moved it up. So I'm going through broken bow. Okay, it's just back to, you know, okay, I'll just go that way then. Through at Valentine, but to me, I still think it's a little bit of a longer way that way. So I'm actually going to drive the map down or drag the line down here. So I'm going up through a line so I can swing by and see car hinge. And then I don't really want to cut over a car knee. I'm going to walk through Grand Island and pick up highway 2. So then I can just drag it. And then let's see. I happen to notice over here by Lincoln. They're taking me straight up into Lincoln and kind of cross highway 2. That takes me driving down O Street through Lincoln. Not bad, but, you know, if I can avoid it, I will.  So then I can just, you know, kind of go through the side of Lincoln and not directly through it. So I'm going to zoom back out. So you can see now here's the route that I ended up with. It's actually different than all three routes that Google provided me. But still, Google will help me over here on the left. That's this route that I've chosen because it's 424 miles long. Excuse me. And it's going to take about 11 hours to get there. I was just kind of curious. The traffic of their I-80 route, their I-80 route was 556 miles. So I'm actually losing 30 miles. But their I-80 route said it would take 9 hours and 13 minutes. And now they're telling me this route's going to take 11 hours. So I don't know how accurate the time differences are on those two or not, but I feel like the flexibility of being able to choose the roads that I want. Excuse me. You'll also see now on the left-hand side, I do have kind of a turn-by-turn detail of my route. So here you can add this broken, I'm taking the northeast to exit towards Broken Bowl. Then I turn left onto Highway 2 and continue that way for 74 miles. You can see that as I go through there's a step by step. And you'll also see there is this little camera. And if I can click on it, it's going to do a couple different things. It's going to jump me right to that corner in the whole city that I need to make. And it's also going to show something called Street View. Street View is, I don't know, fairly new in the past few years.  What Google has done is attached a camera to the top of the car and has driven down the street taking video. So here I am in a fall city. And it's showing me the exact corner I'm going to have to turn in town. And clicking on... Oops, that was not there a little more. Then I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to hide the map below so I'm going to see the little arrows down on the left here. And so you can see here now is my street view. And there are arrows on the white line of the road clicking on those are going to move forward or backward. And then I can also use my mouse to drag and change my view. Or up here on the left hand side where there's arrows I also can just rotate that in around. So the little anoint tells me which direction it's facing north which comes in handy. And the arrows on the left and right arrows will just help you kind of turn into a circle here and just pan all the way around. I'm a person who drives usually very visually with landmarks and stuff. I never keep track of what street I'm on. I just know I need to turn by that big blue house or whatever. So when I'm going to a place new it's kind of helpful for me to take a look at the street view. And so seeing where I can look at the corner and say okay when I come to the patch shop on the corner or the big church or whatever I'm close to where I need to be or if I'm going to a library or another business or whatever it's nice to be able to go to the street view and say okay that's where I'm headed to. That's it now. Street view is not available for every road in the state or the country. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to go ahead and just click on Google Maps because it should take me back to the main line Google Maps starting page or I'll have to close it up. I'm going to go ahead and make it look map larger again. I'm going to zoom out so we can see most of Nebraska. Now another way to get to the street view is on the top left hand side you'll see this yellow person clicking on him and dragging into the map will change parts of the map to blue. So wherever you see those blue lines means there's street view available so I can just drop the little guy on any spot that has the blue lines. You can see now I am out in the middle of the sand fields near Mullen beautiful country and I can just drive for the lack of better work down the highway using the arrow keys. This is all interesting you know I appreciate the beauty of Nebraska as much as everybody I think but let's go ahead and I want to show you a few other places that I think are fun to drive around. I'm going to load what is called one of my maps and I had just created a map of different places I wanted to show you some of the street views on that I think are interesting because it's not just the United States where the street view is available you can see now there's hunks of the Australia there's some spots in Japan and some areas over in Europe now even that happens. So let's go ahead and how about this I'm going to take you to a corn field how exciting is that and you're probably wondering why I found a corn field interesting the corn field in the middle of France it is randomly happening to drop my street view guy right here one day and I'm like I can't tell the distance between me and France and you know a rural road in the US well I just found that interesting let's see we can jump to Amsterdam so here we are in Amsterdam and I wasn't sure what you know there really is to show in Amsterdam so I was looking at there Wikipedia's entry and I happened to run across a picture of this it's called the ING building it's like something I've probably seen the commercials before for ING I assume this is their headquarters because if you look at it it has ING up there and it's called the ING house so just a funky house or place of business in the Netherlands again I can just drive by it um let's see I have a random street in Japan so again I can just you know drive down the streets in Japan and see what they look like on one of these streets I'm not sure I didn't get the directions right here keep track of which way I had to go but oh there you go you can oops I lost and I went too far you can stop and get some KFC and this is my random street in Japan somewhere along here too I also run across the Denny's and uh Robin so another street view I found fun we can jump over to Australia and I don't know how long you can see this but in this field here there's a whole bunch of kangaroos so as you can tell I'm easily amused and I think it's fun looking at street views just to get an idea what some of these other places look like that I've not visited before and just kind of drive down the streets just to see everyday life do you guys have any questions for me so far before I change gears I'm going to go ahead then and do a search for the Isley Library here in Lincoln so I can go ahead and turn my maps off so you don't keep seeing all the lights and you know I haven't really related what I've been doing to libraries but here's where I kind of want to change things up a little bit and start talking about how used librarians can use Google Maps of course it's obvious everything I've talked about so far you can definitely help your patrons you know find maps I think it'd be cool if you had people coming in studying different countries and if the street views available to take them out and drive by you know if they're studying Golden Gate Bridge you can you know drive across the Golden Gate Bridge or you know see what the Eiffel Tower looks like from above or drive by the Eiffel Tower I think those are all pretty obvious what I want to do now is like I said I did a search for the Isley Library and I am going to zoom in I'm going to go ahead and switch the satellite view of the Isley Library and so it's telling me you can see where this letter A is it's telling me that's where the library is now I'm familiar with this area town and I know exactly where the library is but if I move to a new town I probably would have no idea just looking at the spot where is the library I mean it could be these buildings right here it could be this building it could be that building probably not this building but I have seen these little markers be off as much as I have to walk so one of the nice things in Google Maps is if you click on the A and get the information about the library you do have the option to move the library and you have a couple options now I can move the marker so what I could do now is say move the marker and it tells me if I'm moving the marker more than 200 meters your change will not appear immediately so they do make sure you're not moving markers way way to the wrong spot but in this case I know that this building right here is the Isley Library so I'm going to just pick that marker and drag it right there because that actually is the library so that way I can save it and I have to admit I'm not quite sure if I did more than 200 meters on that move or not oh it says it will not because it was more than 200 meters but assuming to accept my move that means then the next person after they get it approved and up we can come here and take a look at it and they'll know exactly where the Isley Library is because I actually moved the marker so it's on top of the library and it's clear to them to know that okay I want the building on the north side it's superior not the one on the south side it's superior and I hope I got my directions wrong so if you're in Lincoln I got that wrong sorry that's one thing I would suggest all that you do is go ahead and do a search for your library and see where your little pointer goes up is it close to your library is it down the block it's not take it and move it so it's closer it shows more action where your library is located options that are available are then under edit I'm going to go and do another search I'm going to go ahead and search for the Stanton Public Library I'm going to pick on you because I'm happy you're happy about that zoom in as far as close as you can in Lincoln in Stanton unfortunately but you can see here is the little A again that I click on it it's going to give me some information and under edit I do have the option to edit some of the details so you can see here it's going to let me edit I can change the name the address, the phone one of the things I was thinking Laura maybe you had a different website you wanted to use because this was a generic looks like Stanton website maybe you had one specifically for the library which would be great I think to add more information there but okay Laura they do have a link from Stanton there so and that's fine my screen is a little smaller here so you guys can see it and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to show the complete screen here oops, way to scroll down but I would suggest that you all do a search for your library take a look at the information there make sure your little marker is right so Laura is your marker correct here for the library can you see enough to tell at this point I think it is but I'm just guessing I must admit another thing you can do is yeah, Laura said she can't tell which that's just fine you can see here in Stanton I do have some of the street views available so I can I'm dropping myself down here in the corner of I think it was Jack, Pine and Ten Street so I can see a house couple houses, there's a church maybe it's cool not quite sure I can't drive down Jack, Pine Street that way but also be helpful if the street view is available to kind of identify where you're at and unfortunately my street view will go down Ten Street but it's not going to let me go down far enough Jack, Pine Street where the library is actually located at so I wasn't able to quite verify excuse me if this address or the little marker is in the exact location or not but Laura, that's something you can come back and do later and see if your little marker is in the right spot and I'm going to go ahead and just close the street view by clicking on the X and I want to show you one more option then when you're clicking on it oh Laura said they're right across the street from the school so yeah I think your marker is going to have to be moved just a little bit Laura, I'm just guessing but I'm just not familiar enough with that street to make that decision so under Edit there is one other option available here and it's called Claim Your Business so this is something I would suggest that libraries actually do basically you're going out and telling Google that yes this is my business I want to claim it and so this gives you a few more options you can add more information, you can add pictures of your location you can update your address maybe when you claim a business or an American library they are going to ask you to confirm that you are actually the business owner and there's a couple of different ways they do that they will either send a postcard with a pin to you they can verify that they sent, goes to the correct address so someone at that address is getting a pin or I think they might also do it by phone but like I said they will verify where you are a couple great things about claiming your business not only then do you have control of your listing and nobody else can come and move it around when you do a search in Google I'm going to go ahead and go back to Google and I'm just jumping back to Google, the search engine for the web not the map and I'm going to go ahead and type in New Jersey State Library and I'm guessing a lot of times you guys have done this before you'll see in your results options there's a little map pointing to me where the New Jersey State Library is it has a link to the library but now there's also a link that says more information clicking on that now you'll see some of the information that the New Jersey State Library had entered they have claimed their business you can see they've entered a photo they haven't done a whole lot but you can do photos you can enter your business hours so you can add hours and libraries open there's also an option when you claim a business to add a coupon and you're probably all kind of wondering why would you want to add a coupon but the folks over at the M Word Marketing for Libraries Law had some ideas about putting up a coupon and maybe a coupon for having people print items maybe the coupon will give them 5 free prints or whatever you can be creative it's just another interesting way to get folks into the library show them some of the things that you're doing and let's see looks like my time is closing down here quickly so a couple other things I want to show you I'm going to go back to my map and I'm not going to, I'll just show you some of the options you can use for creating your own maps you could do a map that's simply direction so I could have used did a my map to keep track of my route from false city to shatter it or you can keep track of numerous other things and I should mention again that in order to use the my maps you do have to have a Google account to be logged on so I just want to show you some of the different maps that are out there where I was learning the system, I went ahead and created once in the Nebraska Regional Library System so you can see here is it's loading I have, I went through and I did each region of each system and then put a marker in each location where the system offices are located I'm going to go ahead and turn that one off and show you a few other ones that have I've run across, now these are not maps I've created these are created by other folks so here's one the US ESU offices in Nebraska so there all those are which I think is pretty cool someone else in Lincoln has done a map of all the recycling centers here in town and here's another person who has done a map of all the disc golf courses in Nebraska so if you're in the mood to play a little bit of frisbee and golf at once I'm here at a lot of places you can go take a look at I'm going to go ahead now and jump back to my slides before I do that does anybody have any questions minimize that okay Martha how do you make the map public or unlisted that is when you let me jump back real quick here and I'm going to go ahead and go back to one of the maps I've made and I'm going to go ahead and edit the map and it's not letting me in okay let me try creating a new map then it looks like my browser has given me some JavaScript errors so I'm not sure it looks like I'm crashing so I won't actually be able to show you Martha but when you do create a map or you edit a map there's a simple little check box public once is unlisted you can go ahead and check either one so it's pretty simple it's just a simple click on the screen and I'm going to go ahead and edit the map I'm going to go ahead and jump back to the slides I don't have anything I'm really excited on the slides just some URLs I wanted to point out first I had to obviously the URLs for the Google Maps below that is a link to some videos about Google Maps and I think they've done an excellent job if you would like to learn more about the maps I think the longest video there might be two minutes but you watch them and you can learn quite a bit they'll show you how you can create your own maps they can show you how to get directions they show you street view tons of options like I said for those little two minute videos I think they're a great job and useful to look at and see I know I haven't spent a lot of time telling you about how you could use the Google Maps with your library but I think if you actually take a little time and think about it you can find a lot of uses Nick Jacobson from here he's a librarian and I must admit I forgot where he is from has actually wrote a library journal article back in 2008 about how they use Google Maps in their library and I have included a link there and the full text of the article is available online so you can go out and read and see how they're using it I mean not only do they have links or Google Maps showing how to get to the library I think they're actually doing other things in the city I think there's the one that actually had marks on historical places I mean there's quite a different things you can do with them and below that is the link tutorial he did in conjunction to the library journal article and that one's like three minutes long so that was a little bit longer but again still useful and then the last slide here I have links to the Amwork marketing library's blog so if you want to go out and read the blog and learn about how they're talking about using the Cubons you can do so and then I have a link to the local business center this is a blog post that Google just did yesterday about more about how you claim your business and I think it was a useful read and then the last slide since I am out of time I also wanted to mention that if you have been following along in the Nebraska Learns 2.0 program Google Maps is the topic we're seeing number 25 which we're doing for June so a lot of the same stuff I have said today is available in thing 25 if you want to go out and take a look at that so just so you know all of these links are also entered in the commission's delicious account so if you didn't get to catch them from the PowerPoint that's fine we'll have a link out when they're recording those up to all of these clips there that's all I have because anybody have any other questions for me thanks everybody for coming and I'll let Christopher up here if you don't have any questions thank you very much thank you Alana that was very cool and interesting session has been recorded will be available later today or tomorrow I hope you join us next week when our topic will be the new and improved library and information services program I'm interested in getting a library degree cool yeah we'll see you here again next Wednesday thank you very much bye bye


From my experience and from the people that I know, people don't finish the club and the fraternity that I'm meeting down south is my club, so I can only speak from the people that I know. I agree because some people do. Some people that I know, they just joined it because they just joined it. They didn't really want it and they thought that, you know, this would make me better.  Do people since he used you just because you're in a sorority or something? When y'all cross, did people switch up? Did your friend change?  Thank you.


What have you done in his life? You've taken him away from what? From God. You've taken him away from God. Who are you? What is your name? Speak out. We're too strong. What is your name? You have a name. Speak out in Jesus mighty name. You're too many.  How did you enter his life? How did he open the door? You don't need to know anything. You have no right. You came to arena of liberty and you will speak out right now in Jesus name.  How did you enter his life? Huh? Which door did he open? He made a pact with the devil. Speak out in Jesus mighty name. How did you destroy his life? He doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't know what he's doing. How did you destroy his finances? What kind of pact did he make with you?  You will speak right now in Jesus name. How long ago did he make that pact? Five years ago. Five years ago. What kind of pact was it? What was it for? He wanted to be happy. He wanted to be happy. So he made a pact with you. Yes. He wanted power. How many of you are in there? We are a legion.  You made the greatest mistake to step into arena of liberty. Jesus Christ is more than you and you will go right now. This is my soul. He's not. Jesus Christ has paid the ultimate price for his body. And you will go right now in Jesus mighty name.        Now, for the record, I understand there is no voice effects on that. There's no this is not Hollywood production. We're not there yet and stuff So but there's no voice effect this young man who looks wonderful. Some of you know him from Chihuahua He plays in a band he played in the band And so he came dressed up in a suit came nice to the service and during the service started something started to happen And evil spirits started to torment him and manifest they brought him to the front And then all these stuff started to happen now people might ask how much did you pay him? We didn't pay him we didn't bring him here he became money's own and so Alexis For the benefit of us who are sitting here today. How did this demon entered into your life? Well, I asked it to come into me because I was I asked God to help me out because it was a time in a life Where I just felt like Like I wasn't able to do anything like I asked him to come into my life and And then from there, you know, I asked I asked him because I Wanted to feel happy.  Did you also go to like he went to the cemetery, right? Are you from a Christian background? Why in the world? Would you ask the devil to come inside? I mean, were you thinking this was a joke or no? Whoa, I thought at that moment. I thought he was Wow, but hey, and so did you feel after you did that did you feel something come inside of you? Yeah, I did I felt happy for a pretty good while But you you something you started to happen to you because after that you start having outbursts of anger that actually end You start breaking things beating things even end up in jail Yeah, I started to get mad at things just my mom would ask me a let's go to church I'd be like I don't want to go to that we have to go and I would just get mad and like I feel like I Was an animal I would literally get mad and start throwing my arms around and like saliva would come out of my My mouth when I would You think that had anything to do with what you did at the cemetery? Yeah, definitely did Wow, and so you came here for prayer and Okay for the there are people in here who probably have second thoughts. They're like well This is all stage or everything was this stage was this your acting? How long did you practice for this? I mean was this real? Yeah, it was real What was going through? I mean was that you what was happening to you? Um Well, I came in here, you know and I honestly wanted to leave I was I was just there I knew something was in me because I started shaking what was in me They don't want to be in here, but I knew I had to be in here because once you come to the presence of God the demons gonna Come out running out unless Unless they take you out before you get a chance to get him out, right? Yeah, yeah And so when this was happening here, you were in the we have people in the prayer line today They're a little bit scared now. They're like man. What did I sign up for they didn't tell me that and Stop don't worry. You're fine. The demons not gonna be fine But what was happened with did were you in your mind or were you like in the background when when this demon started to speak? I mean, what was happening to you? Were you gone? Can you recall these things? When that happens to when that happened to me I was there But some something else was taking control my body there was nothing I could do How long has it been now since you've been freed? Two years two years. Yeah two years. How do you feel? Do you still get around beating people and stuff? Oh, no, no way. I feel good Yeah So a lot of times evil spirits they manipulate people's emotions now That doesn't mean that every time you get angry you got a demon because we also have a flesh But when it goes to this extreme you can anything that you can't control is controlled by someone else and Bible makes it very clear to us that that someone else is not an emotion.  It's the devil where he lives inside outside on the top on the bottom on the feet We don't we don't know we don't care one thing we do focus on is this is Jesus called us to cast out evil spirits Amen, and some people go to church all their life and never once in their life see actually this stuff being real We read it in the Bible and there's like It's like watching an exorcist of Emily Rose or something is like man, this is strange Well, I'm not there But the Bible says that these things will be happening today And so when we see this is just one example of many testimonies I can pull up right now of people who've been freed and after that their life has been changed and transformed in Order to have a new you in the new year. You have to be demon free You have to be free can somebody say amen. Let's give a round of applause for Alexis.

Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesty here with dental tutoring. My office is being painted right now So I'm doing some videos in my living room. So I hope you guys can see me and hear me okay But next week hopefully you guys will see my nice new office Or I should say a wall of my office because when I do the videos you can't exactly see the whole thing But I'm super excited. My blue walls will be gone, which I love blue. That's actually my favorite color But for a wall. No, I guess it's just not yeah No, at least not light blue because I shouldn't say that we have a dark blue in our hallway Which I love love love, but not the kind of like light blue that I had in my office Anyways, you guys don't want to hear about paint What I wanted to talk to you guys today about is ethics and law So I just did a session for my dental L member students. It was about an hour Just talking about privacy And consent so those are the main ones and I'm not going to talk about the whole session But I will talk to you guys about the key points So that way if you guys would like to learn more let me know because we weren't able to finish the whole thing We'll be doing another session in two weeks. So if you would like to attend live It's an excellent idea. If you are a member of dental out You have full access to everything live tutoring modules mock exams everything. So let me know But yeah, so just some of the key points were so in Ontario There's no age of consent meaning a six-year-old can say no to x-rays. They have that right So that was a big one that we talked about another thing was My goodness what I had it on the tip of my tongue. Oh, yes, the different forms of consent So there is verbal there is formal and there is implied So verbal is when you're just simply talking about something So if I say to a patient, I'll be doing a cleaning today and taking some some checkup x-rays and they say yes Okay, that is a verbal consent formal consent takes it a step further and that's preferred Um, because that is when they actually sign something. So if they sign that paper Where on the paper it says all about the pros and cons of x-rays why we're taking them and they sign Yes, I do agree to have x-rays taken that is formal consent implied consent is when they simply sit in the chair and That's implied that they are consenting to treatment because they confirmed their appointment They came to the dental office done, right? They have implied consent but this is where you have to be careful because the Formal consent through the written is preferred because anybody can say that they said something in Verbal consent, but you know, it's their word or your word against theirs, right? So the formal the written is always preferred Um, what else did I want to share with you guys that was confusing? So remember how I said that there's no age of consent in Ontario. That's very very true But that's where there's always a fine line because a 13 year old you would think the parents know best They know more which is true, but if they say no to x-rays, we have got to listen to that 13 year old I know it's pretty crazy, right and the real world things are a little bit different if I had a 13 year old Saving me. I don't want x-rays. I talked to them and say well your parents said yes for x-rays You had six cavities the last time we really should take the x-rays, but Would I force her or him to take the x-rays? No, but you know things are just different sometimes in the real world but for the board exam they have that right but I'm going to ask you guys a question. So I did talk about consent. So my question is Let's say you have known a patient for 30 years. Their last x-ray was taken two years ago But now they have said they don't want any more x-rays No way not happening and then you you have them sign a paper saying that they say no to x-rays Signed done and then a couple years later.  Is it the patient or is it the dentist or the hygienist who would win this case? So I'm actually not going to answer I'm going to let you guys comment below and let me know what you think so this will be fun So tell me what you think so I'll just recap that a little bit. So you have known your patient for many many years They have now decided that they don't want any x-rays taken at all They sign something on paper saying no to x-rays. So all it says on the paper is I Decline x-rays from now on The date is what's the date today October the 13th And they sign that and then they come back a couple years later and sue you Because they now realize that they have advanced bone loss But they didn't know and they're mad at you because you didn't help them or tell them that they have advanced bone loss Who wins in this case? Is it the dentist the the office the hygienist or is it the patient? Do they have a case yes or no? Let me know in the comments and then I will answer that for you all Okay, so let me know what you think and if you would like to hear more We are having our next ethics and law session in two weeks So if you are a member of dental L you are welcome. So let me know If you would like to come in you can see all of the info on the website at dental L calm And if you haven't yet make sure to hit subscribe because I do upload the videos often And thank you guys for watching and answer in the comments below I would love to hear what everybody thinks and have a good weekend and I will talk to you all very very soon


Welcome to Seesaw! This video is for teachers using free Seesaw. Let's get set up! Seesaw brings educators, students, and families together to create a powerful learning loop between the classroom and the home. In this training, you will set up your account and class, get students up and running, and learn to use essential Seesaw tools. First, create your Seesaw account. Go to app.seesaw.me or download the Seesaw app. Tap I'm a teacher and then sign up. You can create an account with Google or enter your information and tap Create Teacher Account. You will be prompted to create a class. You have two options. First, if you have a roster in Google Classroom, tap Import from Google Classroom and follow the prompts. This automatically imports students into your Seesaw class. Students simply use their Google credentials to sign in. If you don't use Google Classroom, type a class name and choose a grade level. Specialist teachers and teachers of multiple grades tap Other. Pause the video now and create your Seesaw account and your Seesaw class. Next, add students. Don't worry. Adding students does not give them access to Seesaw. If you imported your class from Google Classroom, your students have already been imported. You can skip this step. Otherwise, tap the Students button. It's at the bottom of your screen. You'll be taken through the following prompts. First, choose a sign in mode. There are two options. Email address or class code. If students have access to an email address and password, they can use it to sign in. Follow the instructions on your screen. To get added to your class, students use the join code, then enter their email address and password. The join code is only needed the first time students sign in. After that, they simply enter their email address and password. The second way students can sign in is with a class code. On this screen, choose No. You don't want students to sign in with an email address. Then choose how students use devices. We recommend choosing one-to-one devices, even in classrooms with shared devices, because students typically use devices one at a time. Now type students' names. You can do this one by one, or you can paste a list of student names by tapping here. You can always add more students later in class settings. That's the wrench icon. Follow the instructions on your screen. Students use the class code to sign in. Pro tip. Print the QR code and hang it around the room or tape it to each student's desk. Pause the video now. Choose email or class code sign in and follow the prompts to add students. We created resources to help get students started. Follow this link for lesson plans, student videos, handouts, and more. The green add button is where it all begins. When teachers tap the green add button, you see this menu. To post to the class journal as a teacher, tap post student work. You have access to all seesaw learning tools to create your post. For example, use the photo or video tool to share classroom moments, or use a combination of tools to create multi-dimensional announcements, resources, discussion questions, and more. Upload a photo, add text labels, use drawing tools, and even add your voice to create a post that gets students excited like this welcome post. Students also have a green add button. This is the student view. Notice it says student under the class name. The student view, very similar to the teacher view, with a few differences. When students tap the green add button, they don't see the teacher menu. They go right to the learning tools to create their post. Students use the video, camera, microphone, or drawing tools to capture the learning that is taking place in the classroom, or they can capture a video of their learning. And so much more. The green add button is perfect for quickly capturing day-to-day learning moments. View posts created by you and your students in the journal tab. The journal tab is the default view when you log in to CSOL and it shows all posts in the order they're posted. Second, if you tap on the little calendar icon at the top of the journal feed, you'll be able to see student post by date. Tap on any date and see all work posted on that date. Note, the calendar icon will not show up until something has been added to the journal. Third, if you tap on a student's name, you'll see all work by that student. You will also see all of the work that they are tagged in. Engage with student work by tapping like, the heart, or comment the speech bubble. Other students can like and comment on each other's work as well, unless you disable the setting in class settings. When you comment on a post, you can leave a text or audio comment. It's your turn. Pause the video now and create your first post. The green add button is great for getting started. CSOL activities open even more possibilities. CSOL activities allow you to create structured experiences that transform learning. To get to the activity libraries, you can either tap the library icon at the top of the journal or tap the green add button and assign activity. There are three different activity libraries in CSOL. My library is where you find CSOL activities you save and create. Find ready to assign standards aligned lessons that build foundational skills that students need the most in the CSOL lessons library. Everyone has access to a sampling of free lessons from every collection. These lessons engage students in multi-dimensional activities using CSOL's powerful learning tools. Finally, the community tab is where you find free activities created by your community of ambassadors. Here you can access ready to assign activities that include step by step student instructions, teacher notes, a template for student responses, and more. One of the best ways to get started using CSOL is to access our Getting Started Guides. Our Getting Started Guides include four sections, an introduction to CSOL, Get Students Started, Connect Families, and Deepin Learning. Our Getting Started collection is located in the CSOL Lessons Library. These activities help you start your year on CSOL. Tap on the CSOL Lessons Library, then tap on Getting Started with CSOL. The collections are broken down by grade level and include at least five fun activities to use to start your year. When you find an activity you like, tap the heart to save it. Find the save activity in your My Library. Saving activities does not assign them. The instructional content in each lesson is used to introduce or review a concept, and build and activate background knowledge students will need to complete the activities. Tap Present to Class 2. Present the introduction to the whole class. To assign the activity, tap the blue assign button. When you tap assign, you can see a list of all your classes. Check the box next to 1 are multiple classes to assign to. You can also modify activities that you find. Tap the three dots to either edit or copy, and edit the activity to customize it for your needs. Pause the video now. Find, save, and assign an activity. Let's explore the CSOL workflow. Assigned activities show in the Activities tab. To respond, they tap Add Response. If no template is attached, students use any CSOL tool to create their post. If a template is attached, each student gets a fresh copy of the template to complete. Once students submit their responses, the activity moves from the To Do section to the Done section. They're ready to complete the next one. Back to the Teacher View. You can view student responses by tapping the gray bar on an activity. See which students have completed an activity and which have not? Tap on a response to see the post. Engage with student work by liking the post or adding a comment. Comments can be typed or recorded. Audio comments are particularly helpful for emerging readers and multilingual learners. Note that all posts must be approved by the teacher before they're visible in the class journal. When there are student posts for you to approve, a red bar appears on the bottom of your screen. Tap Review. Review each post and approve or delete. Note that deleted posts cannot be recovered. Pause the video now and your teacher account pretend you're a student. Go to the Activities tab, tap Add Response, select sample student, and complete the activity. You did it! You're set up on CESAW and you've mastered the CESAW basics. With these skills, there's so much you can do on CESAW and there's a lot more we'd love to show you. Find more free training at learn.csaw.me or web.csaw.me for slash training.


I get asked this question all the time. How do I protect my rights but also not seem like a jerk to the cops? Here's the answer. When you get pulled over, be cheerful, be polite, but don't talk too much. You don't have to give consent to have your car searched. You don't have to have consent to have your bag searched. You can be short and to the point and if you're asked you can say no but you can do it with a smile.


Guitar and Excel see major a minor scale fret number seven focusing on the G note Get ready some coffee and relax because getting ready to play guitar Should not be like getting ready to get tarred as in tarred and feathered You know because playing guitar should be fun Whereas to get tarred as in tarred and feathered seems Intentionally designed to be unpleasant Although it does seem like many people actually pay to get tarred these days You know in modern spas claiming it's good for their skin I still think it's some form of self-flagellation Myself, but whatever it doesn't matter.  It's totally beside the point Because we're doing the fun one here Here we are in Excel if you don't have access to this workbook that's okay You could just follow along but if you do have access it's a great tool to run scenarios with quick recap of the project Thus far noting that you don't have to have watched all prior Presentations to follow along with this presentation, but a general overview of the overall project can be useful Let's go back to the first tab to get that overview We started out thinking about the C major scale. You can also think of related modes First mapping it out in open position, which we are defining as frets Zero through three noting that this E represents the low or heavy string the one closest to the ceiling The funnest way to learn notes in open position is to actually map out the chord Constructions from the scale that we are in in this case C major the first Chord then being the C major chord, which we mapped out in open position Discussed in detail we then went to the F because the F also has a major chord construction the four chord We then went to the five chord then back to the minor chord constructions with the D minor the two chord the three chord The six chord and then to that diminished in the seventh after having done that We have basically mapped out all the notes of the C major scale and related modes in this open position frets zero through three which basically looks like this shape here and Then we wanted to jump to the middle of the guitar and start learning from the middle of the guitar This time not starting by using chord constructions But rather using scale shapes pentatonic and then the major scale shapes So we learned that middle part of the guitar Here and saw how we can connect it to what we learned basically in open position and focus then on The notes in the C major scale and related modes the C the F the G the third and the sixth and then we wanted to move then to the Next position and that's going to be starting on fret number seven So that's where we're at at this point in time We've discussed this position in general and now we're focusing on notes within it this time We're going to be looking at this position starting on fret number seven and focusing in on the G Which is basically the fifth of our C Major scale, so that's going to be our general idea this time. Let's get a quick recap of all the colors here I know this color scheme can be overwhelming what we did is basically we laid down The baseline color which are all the colored ones are going to be some form of Note that's in the C major scale the one through the seventh here So all those are basically legal notes that we can play we laid on top of that these green notes Which are basically the pentatonic? Scale so they're five out of the seven notes But that pentatonic scale is majorly related to either the major scale Or it's related minor scale when we get into the other modes, which kind of is what we're doing here Then it's not as it's a gets a little bit more complicated but that's what those green notes are and then we have the notes of the point of focus which is going to be the G and If we build a chord from that G the one three five intervals of the chord from G are green that's going to be our most important note is the light green and Then the red is going to be our second most important note And then the yellow the fifth is going to be our third most important note so the general idea is we're going to be focusing around those important notes and Then all other notes are basically legal and we've excluded all the white all the white guys All the white guys are out. We can't play them because they're toxic Those ones are the toxic ones and you step in lava if you touch on if you touch those ones So then we're really focused on this yellow box So this box is representing the frets that we're going to be in and then this red box represents the last position that we took a look at now you can name these positions I would call this first one position number one this shape in red I would call it position number one some people will call it a G shape because if I look at the C That we're in the C's major scale you can build you can see how we could build, you know the C shape From from it if we're going to map out a C chord. It's actually a G shape So you can call this a G shaped C major chord which is then constructed around this whole scale We'll talk about that later though when we get into the caged system. I would call this yellow one then position number two or you might call it an E shape position if you want to use that terminology, which we'll talk more about when we get into The caged shape you can see there's overlap between these two positions So if I looked at this first position on the guitar starting on the fifth fret top string You can see these three notes and then here there's an overlap Between these two notes and then up to here So that overlap gives us kind of the flow as we're going from one one shape To the other can help us to to give to bridge that gap between the two of them So that's going to be at the general idea now in the shit So I'm going to pull this one I'm actually going to remove the overlap for now just so we can focus just more on this yellow shape And that's going to be our point of focus so we can see it more clearly now We're going to be focusing in on the yellow represents the notes that are basically in the shape that we're looking at the ones the Threes and the five the major shape There's a couple other ones here here and here, but this is probably the main structure that you would be looking at In in this shape the first one that would kind of come to mind So that's what this is and you can see it's actually got like a C shape Right this looks like the C shape if you had a C in open position So if I put my finger here That would be like a C shape on the guitar this way if I bring that to open position It's a C here so we can call that like a C shaped G major Chord so it's a little bit confusing the terminology will get into the cage system later But that's what the yellow is the red over here represents the the the notes that we can make our our 135 in the other shapes so you can see behind this C shape if I played this one this or this one and then these three you've got like a D shape Kind of construction, which most people see like this. It's still a G cord We're talking about but a D shape and then here from this down to here You've got basically an an E type of shape and then of course you've got your G shape Going back here, so we'll talk about those more Later, but right now we're focusing in on this shape Now the couple ways that we can learn to do this is we can say how can I practice with this? G shape well, we're in the C major Chord again the C major scale I mean and we could play as though we're C is the root and Then just put in a G from time to time to practice hitting that G And so if I practice that just to show you what I mean in open position because it's easier to see there We could say okay if I was playing See I could start with the C Put in something else like an F and then go to my G practice going to my G Which is my point of focus and then back to the C so I can practice playing in the key of C While picking up that G, but if I want to really practice on this G in particular I might try to make it the Tonic the thing that I'm going to be going back to all of the time and the easiest way to do that is to Basically start and stop with the tonic So I'll start that in open position and we'll move that same concept then up to when we have the G up here So we start with a G then to a C And a I'm just playing chords that are that we've seen in this position an E minor, that's an A minor and an E minor And then back to a G now if we do that we're basically playing around the G That means we're basically playing in mixolydian. We'll talk about modes more later more formally But all you're doing all you would do is we're just basically taking that fifth and making it the first and then everything else is the same If we were to convert to the mixolydian But for now, I just want to think I want to think about everything being the same so I can still play in the same areas and Then and just note that I'm going to be playing around the five And making that the tonic that's how I'm going to basically think about it And then again later on we'll get more formally into changing it to a mixolydian Which I think if you learn to play around the five It'll be a lot a lot easier than to think of it as the first and then we can start thinking about the different intervals Which do actually get somewhat, you know complex So that's going to be the general idea now notice I think it's easier to make the G sound like it's the tonic even though it's the fifth Then it was with like the fourth for some reason So the fourth sometimes you have you if you try to play around the fourth sometimes it's hard to get that resolution if you play I think it's easier to make it feel resolved But remember the trick to always try to resolve our one trick is you could say if I'm having trouble making that Feel like the tonic like I'm getting back home It feels like it's resolving is to take the fifth and resolve at home now the fifth is a D here So if I took that the fifth is a D now the D here in our scale is a minor like this And that's not really what we want for the resolution. We want a major D Which resolves back in to the G pretty well So so that's going to be the little trick that you can throw in when you're playing You were you're making the G. We're playing around the fifth. We're basically playing in mixolydian I can kind of switch from that. I can break the rules We're going to step in the lava of one of those white notes But it's going to actually a little bit of flavor as long as as long as it doesn't mess up Not too many of them in there, right then we can So we're going to say so if you're nice, so if you're in a G You're gonna say you can go to a C an A and there's the D minor and then I can switch that to a D major And that might give you a little bit more of a resolution And then and then you can even go a step further than that because we saw that you might take the the Seventh of a D major which would be the the the the It's the dominant seven which is actually going to be the C so that might even give you a little bit more resolution Versus a normal versus like a C versus a minor So that's one little thing so I'm not going to get into the to adding the the the the Dominate seven, but I'm just gonna but I might throw in that C Major to go back to the to the G so you can do that up here in our position We have this basically the C shape Which looks like that. Well, where's the D? Well, we know that there's a D here. There's a D here So that's going to be our basically our G shape D So I can play like this It's a D major or I can play like these three down here Or this just basically Like that or I can pick up That bit down here and then resolve it into my G Like that That's kind of a cheating G or like that That we can play so that's how we can apply that out Okay, so so that means we're we're going to be playing around the G So when I move up to this space then Then our strategies to do that would be that one I can play everything In this position. Remember, I should be able to play all my chords. I have the capacity to play all my chords in This position and so we could go from like a C in this position Or starting with a G and then go to a C and then go to an F and then play everything within this position and like chords or We can practice moving from the prior position, you know into this position Or we can practice going from the open position over here And then finding a line that we can go from here into this position. So those are like some of the strategies That you can, you know practice and get to know the G within this position With that's the general idea Okay, so now first what I'd like to do is just think about Going through this scale in this position. So remember this scale starts basically right here But you don't really want to play the scale shape Like, you know, like just like that because it's going to sound like you're in you're in a B Right starting at the seven as you're major like a Locrian or something and we want to make this the tonic So I'm going to count through it as though I'm starting on the fifth. I'm not going to make it the first That's what we would do if we put it in the mode But I'm going to try to count through it From the fifth and then go back to the fifth, right? So I'm starting here There's my fifth. That's going to be my point of focus Right there And then let's see if we can count through this going five Five six seven eight or one two three four Five So now we're ending Copy Paced Down here boom. So we just went One and then I'm just staying in the shape and then I'm going to hear two three four I'm sorry. I'm started at five five six seven eight or one two three four Five right and we can keep on going up there from there and go five six seven eight or one two and then I'm going to go back two one or eight seven six five And then right so that's going to be the general the general idea Now as we do that we might want to then hit the chord shape that we're focused in on every time we get to the fifth So the major chord shapes that we can see here Is this is basically a c shape that we're working on which I can see like this the easiest way to see the c shape Is actually with with this this and this Because that's how we see that's how we play the c shape in open position That's a c shape g Major chord. So if I played it back here c shape Up here boom now the problem with that shape is you don't you get the first you get the third But then you get another first We're not picking up the fifth not a big not a big deal because the fifth is really not the one that gives it It's flavor as a as a major. It's the third So you can still play it that way and you have to mute this string which isn't really difficult to do So totally fine to play but it doesn't pull in that last Fifth so to pull in that fifth. There's actually a couple variants that that we could do that One is to say well, I'm going to start here with my pinky Which is a little bit more more uncomfortable and then there's the third and then the fifth is back here So this goes boom boom and then there's the fifth and then you've got this extra finger Which you could just put down and pick up another g which isn't required but You might as well if it's there and that's one way you can play it another common way that people play it is just to Forget this pinky right if you don't lay down the pinky You still have what you need or or if you or sometimes you don't just don't have time to put it down Then you could put it down afterwards because if you just play this This and this it's it's the same three notes, but inverted so you still have everything you need for a g major It's just inverted gives you a different sound And then you also have then uh down here Down here, this is like a lot of people think of this as a d shape and it is a d shape if you're leaning back to this note But if you're leaning forward, it's part of the c-shape. You can see it right here So it's it's so it's right there. So again, we'll get in the cage system or in detail later but That so so you can play that little triangle that fits like a A d so we have that and then you can pivot around this this note to get to that or if you go from this shape you can you can Pick this finger up and put it here instead which lays into this shape And then you put this pinky this pinky down to get that full That full shape going that way and then up top We've got this bit which are these three which again inverted so from here So you've got those three that you can play up top. So those are kind of your home base your major home base ones that you can play So the next thing we might want to do is then try to see what we can play kind of around Our g and just try to feel around what is available to me and the g now if I pick this g It's natural for me to put my pointer on it and reach upwards But that's not the direction I'm going. I want I want to lean backwards on it Right, so we could just the most comfortable position here. We might just start off with Basically our our position here And then we can arpeggiate that Basically and then see what kind of notes we can kind of pick around off of that space So for example, I have these notes behind here that I can be picking these up Now sometimes it gets a little bit tricky to use your pinky right there and you might alternate from your pinky To basically your ring when you're picking those notes up And you might be alternating from this full position to like a g shape that looks like this Which is going to be a little bit more comfortable. So you might start off with like a ring finger there for example And then play this c shape, which is kind of the shortened shape That's a little bit easier to finger and then mute this string and then we can reach back I got that a Which is right here. So I could pick up that a underneath as well To do like this So if I'm here, I'm going So now I'm going So we can pick those up We know that of course we have this third right underneath. So sometimes just playing this shape Could be useful So if I just play those two, then I know that I'm reaching up to the root Which is the g right there. So I can see that I can play those two I can Play those two together with a double stop, which is the g and the and the c and then I've got basically this whole All of these notes down here are fair game. So I can bar Anything on this side that I want. So I want to make that the I want to make sure I hit the g and then I can kind of noodle Back to the g to make it the home And I can always go back to that which is basically the the major Root and then I have these two below here Got this little box shape That's going to give me some tension. That's the b and the f Kind of resolves back to here So I can kind of play around Within within that little shape and then if I was to see this g shape down below Then we could say, okay, what can we do with this? I see my shape right here So that's kind of like my ending point and I see I have this nice little box On these ones. So we could say this whole thing Fits into a nice easy Box so I can see that I can always end it right there This bottom part of the box like I have once again the the one and the three So I have that little shape Of course, once I'm on this shape that leads me into reaching back up again That's my pivot point to reach me back up to here to my full d So when I'm going from this d I can use this finger as my pivot to to then reach up to that Or I can basically see that note and switch my fingers To pivot here And reach up that way So those are the ways our general they see it now now then if you're practicing within this shape Then you might try to practice playing all the notes that we've learned thus far within here So we could you know play a g like this Which is a hard one to kind of switch to sometimes so sometimes those easy The easy c shape is easier to play. We saw that we had a c which is basically this is a This is an an e shaped c major That we've built in prior presentations And then we also have the f which is this is an a shaped f major So we've got the the one the four and the five, but we're focusing on the five being The center point so I can say all right. Well, if I'm I could start with the five, which is the g And then we can switch to a c And play that And then to an f which is that a shape And then back to the g Which I'm playing with the shortcut kind of c shape, which is the easy way to play it or Down here and we can switch between those two. I can start here I can play the c which looks like this Kind of like the f that a lot of people play the f. It's still the same shape here And then and then we can go to the a shaped I'm sorry. That was a c and then the a shaped f And then back to the g It's kind of easy to use this this g right here And then switch to because I'm pivoting on this finger the c Which is an e shaped c major and then the a Which is I'm just going to borrow those I'm going to pick up the full thing like that And then back to this shape making it home If you wanted to throw in the d The d major to kind of lead back again because that's the fifth. It's right here And then you can pick up that this note over here, but you don't really have to I'll just pick up the one the three So I can go from Do an e shaped c Do an a shaped f And then just pick up the two notes of the d major Noting that this note is outside of my this is a white note. We're picking up, but that's going to lead into That leads into my Right there, so that's one way we can play it We can play the chords that we've learned in position We can do some picking in between those chords In position As well the other way we can learn it. Maybe maybe we're not as comfortable learning Each of the chord shapes so we might play it in like open position here And then jump up see where I'm going to jump which is going to be to this shape I'm going to think okay. I'm going to play down here my good old g and then see if I can just jump up to That g right here and then noodle around something within it something like that Now you might throw in something other than just the g and then I can go from a g To a c And I could play the c and noodle around up here within the c too, but I'll just kind of noodle around at home I'll go G And then I'm going to jump up and do basically the same kind of thing And then to the c back to the g To the g C And then switch into the d major to resolve Back to the g now. It's also knows that this g right here This is also a g we haven't talked we've talked a little bit about in the past, but it's a pretty comfortable shape Because it's once again that e shaped g So that's another one that easily you can you can move into Pretty pretty nicely when you're when you're going back up and back basically The neck so that's one way we can do it. We can also say, okay Well, what if I play this position which we talked about last time? starting on the fifth which most people see Play an a minor But we don't want to play it in a minor we want to be playing it in the key of g So the key of g in this position you can see is this you have basically this d shape Here right there if I lean it back Then we're picking up that g right there So I have this shape now. I could pick it up and try to do this But that's way too hard for me. My fingers can't do that. I have Not the longest of fingers. So I'm just going to play this boom boom these three And that's kind of like our major shape leaning leaning Back this way you can also have a shape you can see here These two and this one so you could play like this Up top Right and so those are going to be your major shapes. And then when you move back to this shape You've got a nice g right there, which is nice and ready. You can also play it shorthand just basically these three notes So which is nice and easy, but I think it's So that's going to be So that's going to be the idea. So then the question is well if I start on Something like this I'm playing this boom boom Then I can play that and of course walk down to this shape and I can play something like in between So I'm just going to look at my two destination points Which are here and then there And then what can I do like in between I'll noodle around like in between Learning this shape in both spots, right? So I'll be All right. So I'm just playing I'm basically just doing kind of the easiest pivot finger, which is this finger This finger and saying, okay, what's available to me here? Well, I can go obviously And then I'm right there right or I could put some double stops if I'm I want to do something other than just walking I Could see that this Shape works there too and then move up to that shape. I can go from here So now I'm just basically looking at combinations of strings. I'm not really thinking about what they What chords I'm playing I am playing chords if I pick right if I do this And then I take those three. I'm basically playing an a minor Right. I can take those three. I'm playing a major Chord but they're believed with an f mate, right? And then I can move that up to here to the g but I'm not really thinking about the chords this time I'm not thinking about chord constructions. I'm just saying those work. Does it sound good anything that's colored As long as I don't hit those white notes As long as I don't hit those dang white notes So I could do the same thing and then say let's lead it up to this note up top So if I play this down here I can play those three which I I like to do And that gives me that's basically an e minor and then once I have these two I can go up to that which we played last time And I can go up to here, which is another way to play our basically C shape, right? This is the same C shape, but now I'm putting the fifth on top of it adding That uh that d so we don't have to do that. I could just play it up here So now I can go from here And then once I'm in this shape I can convert that into My c shape g like that. I can go back the other way pivoting on On this string. So I'm just trying to find some somewhat creative ways to walk That might include some double stops rather than just Walking So that's going to be that and then we could go we could go all the way back Like we could use this shape, which again is quite common shape And do the same thing if I'm going to use this shape, which is an e shaped g major chord Then I can use maybe like these two fingers And then that that takes me to there And that takes me up And I'm in my position here I can walk back the other way Then like that in that shape and then if we go all the way from this shape This is our g shaped here the one we're probably most common No, and then I'm just going to try to make a line Going from here Up to up to basically here, right? So how can we do that? Well We could we could play our g shape and then I could start like From this finger. Here's my good old pointer finger, which is going to be right there And I could move that up for it. I can say okay. Well that I knew that that That I could move up to like around here and I have like a little a box and here and in the fifth so I can be like And then maybe I play and I pivoted on this to get to this string so I just went Um Double stop double stop I'm playing that little D shape to take me basically to this shape, which I then pivoted in to the c shape And then I can start here Do the same thing I could put I could do that same thing but Do the top bit And then I can convert that to here. So we're just finding ways to kind of walk Walk up and back if I use this finger up top So now I can use maybe This finger and say okay. Well, where's that going to land? That's going to land me like Up top here if I move that forward so it's going to go. Okay And something like that. I'm just trying to find lines going up top if I if I start down here with this finger Then, you know, that's going to take me Where's that going to take me? Well, that takes me into my what? Control Z That's going to take me into, you know, basically my box Here, I know that's always a legit spot to be There's my box there, which I can then put into my c shape Now you can also play this g like this way You know sometimes that's And then you have different fingers That you can move up But that's going to be the the general that's the general idea. So So so so we should be able to play all everything we want in this position We've we've looked at three notes in this section or three chords in this position And then again, we can kind of practice playing around this g by moving it up and so on And by doing that, we will be practicing The the g chord although it's still in the c major scale the notes around it are the c and just to compare that to The if I had a g major So just if I scroll all the way down and if I built this out Uh, but I was in in the key of g Where do I want to go here? Where did I do that down here? And then I'm going to hide All of this stuff So so now if I look at these two You can see that we have in this position The same we can fit the same chord in there Duh Duh Copy paste Right there But it's not exactly the same shape right So this is what I think really confuses people because It's hard to wrap your mind around The fact that I'm playing the same three notes, but all the shapes around it aren't the same So what does that mean? Am I in this mode or am I in a different mode? Which other notes can I play around it and which can't I and so on and so forth? That's why I want to go into it as in depth as we can In one scale and its related modes, but thinking of them as related positions And then once you get that concept down, you could you could do you you'll see which stuff can convert To now then playing in a g major Scale as opposed to basically playing around the fifth of the c which is basically the the mixillidian G mixillidian right so and so and I and I if you if you know the differences between those you can go way I think you can go way further In being able to play different different things. So that's the idea


In this presentation, we will discuss the DHIS2 community and overall development of the platform. In particular, we will look at some of the features in the community that allow us to collaborate and communicate together. In this presentation, we will review the development team that contributes to the overall DHIS2 platform, the relative release cycles of the various DHIS2 versions, different collaboration platforms that are used to work on DHIS2 together, avenues of communication that can be used to communicate with other individuals using DHIS2, and potential ways to contribute to DHIS2. The development of DHIS2 is not just in one location. There is a global development team that contributes to its various features and functionality. This includes many of the HISP nodes that are distributed throughout various regions. We can see an example of some of these nodes on this page. DHIS2 follows a release cycle in which there are three releases per year. This means that three versions of DHIS2 are typically released throughout the year. This typically occurs in February, June, and October. You're not required to upgrade to the latest version each time it is released, as the last three versions are fully supported. You can have a full look at the roadmap in the link located below by downloading this presentation. There are some different platforms on DHIS2 that are used to collaborate together. First, we have the continuous integration server. In this particular location, we can download various versions of DHIS2 in order to test them in our own systems and use them in our own implementations. There's also the GitHub platform, which is used to commit various code to DHIS2. We can see an example of some of the features that are available for review within GitHub. Recently, we have also switched over to the Jira platform in order to track issues and document new features. You can see here that we have a number of new issues that are being discussed actively on this platform. We of course also have the overall project home page. The dhis2.org website has a lot of additional information about the platform, and it's suggested that you have a look at this website in order to learn more about the platform itself. There are also various mechanisms that can be used to communicate regarding various issues within DHIS2. DHIS2 has its own set of mailing lists that can be used to discuss certain issues. It's always a good idea to sign up to this mailing list to understand some of the issues that are occurring in real implementations and also to ask questions about your own implementations as well. We can do this by accessing the launchpad page and joining the team. There's also an expert community within DHIS2. You can view this on the dhis2.org webpage. This has a list of various experts within various regions of the world. We can contact all of these experts by using the experts at dhis2.org email address. So if you do have any questions about additional implementation work, make sure to have a look at this page. There is also a Facebook page. Here you can review some of the latest updates regarding various implementations and other information related to DHIS2. Have a look if you're interested. Of course we can also be contacted by other informal means including other messaging platforms. So there are some various ways that you can participate in ongoing DHIS2 development. You could suggest a feature by writing on the developer mailing list, by providing feedback within an academy, by arranging a call, or by making a suggestion in JIRA. Any of these mechanisms could be explored in order to add new features within DHIS2. There are also other ways that the community can contribute to DHIS2. You could consider writing documentation or use cases of your own specific implementation, providing support in translating the user interface to a local language, participate to the online mailing list that we have described earlier, develop a useful generic app or patch to be used in DHIS2, and promote DHIS2 in conferences. This ends this presentation on the DHIS2 community. Let us know if you have any questions about anything that we've discussed in this presentation.


What's up guys so over the weekend we were at ETH Waterloo the world's biggest Ethereum hackathon and we're gonna do a quick recap and obviously we got Hasib as you know he's our evangelist right evangelist developer for Block Geeks so Hasib man how was the weekend? It was awesome it was awesome lots of hackers showed up there was lots of energy in the building and most of all it's a lot of great ideas being thrown around by the finalists including the other the other hackers that were there as well yeah and also the some of the talks the technical sessions that were given by like Parity and X and like Tinderman and all those guys I thought those were really great yeah one that really stood out to me was the Parity technical session on some of their reactive JavaScript Ethereum APIs and as you know reactive programming is you know a paradigm that's picking up really fast and it was really cool to see you know libraries that developers can actually use to build their apps yeah anything else listed out to you watch to your Uport representation so what did you like about it so Uport I thought was really cool in the sense that you know sovereign self-identity giving users control over their data and their identity online and the implications that's gonna have and this was the first time that I had actually seen a demo of you know a self-identity app so Uport I thought was was super cool in that sense because that's supposed to be like the killer app that actually brings mainstream adoption to the blockchain so I thought that was really awesome anything else I also thought the blockchain panel with Vitalik was really great as well as his opening his opening keynote you know just bringing you know clarity to some of the privacy techniques and some of the new sort of math and sort of ring signatures ring signatures exactly like super cool stuff and like the different applications of that and the problems that that can help us solve that we have today in building our apps so I mean I thought that was just like wonderful wonderful information and yeah we'll be we'll be creating courses on that as well beautiful did you see any cool projects with the hackers in residence over there yeah so I actually checked out the closing ceremonies with the finalists you know third eye obviously was the winner and they had a really interesting idea they're kind of monetizing like code review so you know developers want to create smart contracts but we want to make sure that they're secure and that they can't be hacked so typically you know to maintain code quality we do code reviews right but this is kind of like an incentivized code review so exactly so you upload your source code and you can stake some ether for it and you let other developers come in and point out bugs to you and you know if it is a valid bug you can give some of that ether that you state as a reward to that develops good yeah I thought that was great in terms of you know improving the code quality and the ecosystem and also just the new way to monetize for developers because in traditional code review systems you're kind of depending on people's generosity or them being paid a salary to actually look at your code but in this case people have actual monetary rewards for helping improve the ecosystem which I think is wonderful cool any other ones you liked I also thought what was some other pocket was really cool which was like this sort of game between children and their parents where parents can sort of control how their children spend their money and it's sort of a gamification of that so it's a way to introduce you know kids to you know first of all ethereum and and just getting them used to it getting them used to crypto because you know they are the future they are going to be the mainstream adopters the mainstream users of ethereum so I thought that was absolutely wonderful that they were able to combine sort of the financial sensibilities as well as crypto as well as like a game between children and parents I thought that was really really great did you have any surprising takeaways from the weekend anything kind of like took you by surprise would you say surprise takeaways or unexpected well one idea that thought was kind of unexpected and like that thought would have like a high impact and it's like a very obvious problem today was this group of hackers from the US who created this sort of decentralized exchange for healthcare services so right now is you know like the American healthcare system is going through you know a lot of you could say turbulence so these guys created a platform where you know people offering healthcare services like hospitals who are offering like x-rays you know they can sell they can sell tokens for each x-ray right and doctors who run clinics and need x-rays for their patients they can buy those tokens and sort of buy those services from the hospital directly without needing any you know intermediary insurance companies or anybody really so I thought that was really profound and I thought that that could have a really high impact with with healthcare which is you know obviously affects all of it so I thought that was really great as well cool yeah so if you had to summarize your thoughts for each one of you what would it be I mean it's like super exciting stuff but yeah at the end of it is like despite you know the volume of ideas it's the number of people that were there like it's still day one so the beginning it's still day one so there's there's so much more to come and yeah I'm super excited for it awesome well thanks brother yeah thank you all right guys if you have any questions leave a comment below this video and we'll see you guys soon peace


Well, why should you go to max stock? I'll tell you why first of all, it's really really fun The people are super friendly and it's it's kind of a casual environment It's this amazing combination of hanging out with people that weren't your friends five minutes ago But now they're your friends people aren't like in clicks where they all know each other and then you feel all left out Everybody's talking everybody. There's a lot of good opportunities to get to know people in between the sessions And of course the sessions. I mean learning from some really really cool people I love teaching it as much as I love going but it's it's just so much fun. People are really really fun It's an incredibly well-run conference. I still cannot believe that Mike Potter has only been doing this a couple of years The first one was amazing. I mean it was really well run. Everything was perfect. It was flawless It was really amazing and I'm super picky. I would have told him if anything was wrong And you know what? It's really inexpensive too. So you got that going on now. Did I mention how fun it was? It's definitely really really fun. I miss Mac Mac world Greatly, but and a lot of it was because of the community But I got it back when Mike and and Barry started this up It's it's just a wonderful wonderful experience and I really enjoy it a better question would be why wouldn't you go to max stock? I'll see you there


Russians are running out of manpower to attack Bakhmut. The enemy's manpower to attack Bakhmut is decreasing. This was written by the commander of the ground force of the armed forces of Ukraine, Colonel General Alexander Sirsky, in a telegram. He said that the human resources of the Russian army are running out. In some areas, the enemy is very aggressive because human resources are decreasing and time is working against them. According to Alexander Sirsky, coordination in the Ukrainian army disrupts the plans of the enemy. It should be noted that intense fighting has been going on in Bakhmut, Donetsk region for about six months. Bakhmut is considered the bloodiest battle of the invasion so far. The Ukrainians are doing a very effective area defense that is proving to be very costly to the Russians. Experts say that Russia considers the city a chance for a symbolic victory after it failed to make significant territorial gains in recent months. Ukrainian forces are continuing to fiercely resist Russia's onslaught in Bakhmut.
