So we are going to begin our next panel, which is Exploring Community Solutions in a few minutes. But quickly, we'd like to share a few videos with you from our Find Your Words campaign. And it was referenced earlier in Dr. Mordecai's comments this morning. So could we please play the videos? Thank you. So it's my pleasure now to introduce Colleen Carr. She is the Director for the Secretariat for the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention or the Action Alliance, Nation's Public-Private Partnership for Suicide Prevention. It coordinates a comprehensive national suicide prevention response in the U.S. and works with more than 250 partner organizations to coordinate the implementation of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. She's responsible for providing strategic direction to the Action Alliance's distinguished leadership and working with leaders from federal agencies in the private sector to help coordinate and align efforts around advancing the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. She cultivates partnerships and commitments to support our national efforts as well. Welcome Colleen. Colleen will then be introducing the other panelists. Thank you. Good morning. How is everyone? So I just want to thank Kaiser for having this event today and Dr. Mordecai who's been on the Action Alliance Executive Committee for a number of years now for their national leadership around suicide prevention. It's really great to see where this work continues to go. We have a panel today that's going to be all about exploring community solutions. So a nice follow on to our morning topic around clinical and we'll talk a little bit about how these efforts really need to come together into a comprehensive approach. So a little about the Action Alliance. Dr. Franklin referenced earlier today and is another one of our Executive Committee members in the room today. The Action Alliance started in 2010 and we are the nation's public-private partnership for suicide prevention. And we're really tasked with coordinating the national response to suicide, advancing the National Strategy, and bringing new non-traditional partners to the table because we know if we could solve the suicide problem with mental health and healthcare alone we'd be making a lot more progress than we've made to date. And so we're really charged with reaching out to new partners and new sectors and getting them involved in our effort. Around the table we have all of the federal agencies involved in suicide prevention so senior leaders from Defense and VA and Education, Justice, Homeland Security, and the many components of Health and Human Services from CDC to SAMHSA to HRSA and NIMH. So really broad diversity around our public sector stakeholders. And then on the private side we have leaders from the auto industry, construction, railroad, news media, entertainment, law enforcement, technology, social media, etc. So feel free to go to our website to see the breadth of some of our partners involved but really we're all aligned around advancing the National Strategy and that's our roadmap. And I'm going to talk a little bit about our priorities and lead us into the community conversation. So we have the National Strategy. One of the first things we did at the Action Alliance after being launched in 2010 was revised this. And in 2010 with the Surgeon General's Office released the updated strategy. There's 13 goals and 60 objectives. So one of the first things we realized was that we were not going to do all of that at once. So we've selected some high priority objectives from the National Strategy which I'll talk about today. Our first priority is transforming health systems and this is where the early efforts to catalyze zero suicide came from around 2012. And so this work includes both scaling up zero suicide as well as transforming crisis care through the Crisis Now initiative, improving financing and care transitions which Dr. Cornette talked about as well. But we know that health care is just one piece of the puzzle because we need to have strong communities around health systems to make sure we're getting people into care. But then when they're leaving care they're going back into the community. They're also, the community is going to be where they're living, where they're working, where they're going to worship services and we really need a comprehensive approach. And so we have transforming communities as our second priority. And this is where our work with faith communities comes into play and I'll talk a little bit about that but Dr. Mullick will certainly go into more detail about the role of faith communities and the role of the workplace. We know people especially adults at highest risk for suicide spend the majority of their day at the workplace. So we need workplaces to be prepared and supportive of those who are struggling with mental illness, thoughts of suicide. And it's also where people go back after treatment to find meaningful work as Dr. Franklin talked about this morning. So we need to improve our health systems. We need stronger, more supportive communities. But we also have a national narrative about suicide prevention and we're committed to really changing that conversation about suicide nationally so it's supporting our prevention efforts. For far too long we didn't talk about suicide at all. Then we started talking about it but our narratives really focused on the death and the despair and the tragedy of suicide. But we know there's so much more there. We know that millions of people think about suicide every year and the vast majority of them do not go on to die by suicide as we've heard. So what is their story? What is their story of hope and recovery and survival in these circumstances and how can we tell those narratives? And so that's our effort nationally to change the conversation. Our partners at CDC released this data over the summer and it was so important because we know that it's more than just mental health but we needed stronger data to point us to the direction of where do our public health efforts for suicide prevention focus. So we know now that while 54 percent of suicides had a known mental health condition, all of these other factors were playing a significant role in suicide. So relationship problems, substance use, job financial problems, legal problems, physical health or a crisis that has just occurred or is about to occur. And so this again directs us to that public health approach where we can address these factors as well as the mental health condition. So our community effort as I mentioned is really focused on both faith and workplace as where we've started. We have a faith task force that has launched the faith hope life campaign and this is really focused on getting every faith tradition involved in suicide prevention nationally. We have a website where there's resources for various faith traditions outlined by the traditions both Abrahamic faiths and non-Abrahamic faiths and we really wanted to make this a place where people could go to get started. We know faith leaders are already involved in suicide prevention because people are going to them in crisis. They're conducting services when someone has been who has lost their life to suicide and supporting families. But we wanted to be more intentional about that. So one of the first things that we did was create kind of an easy entry point. So we want faith leaders to help us get people into treatment. We want them to help support families but we really want them to start the conversation. And so we launched about two years ago the National Weekend of Prayer for Faith, Hope and Life and the idea was really to just start with can we say a simple prayer in whatever faith tradition it is just as we pray for those who have physical illnesses. Can we start to include those who are struggling with mental illness and thoughts of suicide? And this has really I think taken off like wildfire. We were not expecting the readiness and the hunger among faith communities to have a space where they can have this conversation. And I'm just going to play a short video. Let us pledge to be aware of those around us who are struggling with any of life challenges, especially those affected in any way by suicide and to be there for them in their times of need. Be there in person, be there with care and be there with prayer on this faith hope life day. We pray for emotional mental and spiritual healing just as we regularly pray for persons with physical concerns such as cancer or heart disease. We especially pray this day for those dealing with mental health concerns and feelings of hopelessness and for the people who love and care for them. It's time to break the silence around suicide and help all who struggle. Please join us. Join us. Please join us. Because where there is faith, there is hope. And where there is hope, there is life. So faith hope life day. Let's be there in person with care with prayer. And we'll hear more in a minute about the role of faith communities. But from a suicide prevention perspective, it's really been amazing to see what kind of traction this has received in such a short period of time. And I think what we find is when we go out into the community, there's a need and there's a hunger for this information. And how can we forge those partnerships? We did a public opinion poll last summer. And what we found was that the vast majority of Americans know suicides an issue. You know, it's on the nightly news. We're hearing about it more and more. But we haven't done as good of a job of doing is saying, and here's what you can do about it. We say it's complex. We say, you know, all these factors, but we haven't empowered everyone to kind of play their role. And we found four out of five people in the public opinion poll said, I want to know what I can do in simple steps. And this is part of that conversation, the be there campaign from the VA and DoD is part of that conversation. So how do we layer all of these, the health system, zero suicide, the faith communities, the workplace, and this national narrative. On the national narrative side, we have three key audiences. We work the news media, the entertainment media and everyone who's messaging about suicide, which is everyone in this room today and more. And I just want to point to three key resources. We have the media guidelines that we've heard about already. This is when we're talking to the media, our messaging matters, but we can also help them follow their journalistic ethos in a way that is reporting on suicide in a way that's safe and accurate and actually helps tell better news stories. We have a public messenger resource at suicide prevention messaging dot org to make sure when we're putting messages out there, they're strategic and action oriented and moving beyond awareness and moving to action. And then just this month, we released entertainment depiction guidelines, which was an effort over the last 12 months with the entertainment industry and suicide prevention field in collaboration with SAMHSA and the entertainment industries council to really develop a tool for content creators because they're creating this content. We're finding out from the research that it's impacting suicidal behavior. And so we've gone and developed suicide in scripts.org as well. So I'm going to stop there and we're going to hear from our panel today. And first up, we have Holly Wilcox. Please come on up. Dr. Wilcox is an associate professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and School of Medicine. She's involved in several suicide prevention initiatives in Maryland and nationally and co leads a federally funded project focused on conducting data linkage and informatic approaches to utilizing data resources to improve risk identification and prevention. Thanks for being here. Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for inviting me to be part of this day. It's been really great for me so far to hear about a really strong synopsis of the work that's going on and thinking about ways to go forward from here. So my role today is to talk about schools. I'm going to go upstream, pretty far upstream also. I'm going to talk about two evidence based approaches and one promising approach that's being rigorously evaluated right now. And what I'm going to ask you to think about is maybe taking these approaches, one in primary school, one in middle school and one in high school and thinking about layering them and making them part of every school's programming. We have a real opportunity with health education class to be able to implement and embed suicide prevention related programs or programs that can impact suicide have been shown to impact suicidal ideation. We have an opportunity to embed them in a naturalistic setting such as schools. I've been in the field of suicide prevention for about 30 years and the challenges that we face, you know, of course we talked about stigma earlier. We've talked about access to high quality mental health care in the community, which is another issue. But I do think that schools are a natural place to reach students and most kids attend school so it makes a lot of practical sense to think about how we can move upstream and embed high quality programming into schools. The other thing, the other problem that we have in this field of suicide prevention is that most of what's available in terms of prevention programming is for people who are already in crisis. Some of what I'm going to talk about today focuses on preventing that crisis from ever happening and the disruption in terms of social, academic fields, friends and family that those problems can cause if issues aren't addressed early. So in terms of school-based programs, right now there's a current evidence base showing that programs that are implemented in primary school that target aggressive disruptive behavior can a decade or more down the line reduce risk for suicidal ideation or attempts. There are three examples of this. I put two in the slide. The Seattle Social Development Program, which I'm not going to talk about today. The Family Checkup is another program that's been implemented that has shown to have an impact downstream on suicidal thoughts and behaviors but today I'll focus on the Good Behavior Game which is the program of the three that I've worked most closely with. So what is the Good Behavior Game? It is a universal intervention program much like Dr. Franklin was talking about the different levels of intervention. Good Behavior Game is universal so it's implemented to everyone and in this case it was carried out and studied by our group at Johns Hopkins as implemented in first and second grade students but we have a project now going on in Blackfeet Nation in Montana that's looking at studying the Good Behavior Game's impact in nursery school. In this case the Good Behavior Game is directed and targeted directly at disruptive aggressive behaviors manifested in a classroom setting and back in 1985 and 86 when this trial, the trials on Good Behavior Game first started it had been replicated around 20 times and it was of interest to the school system. We have had three generations of Good Behavior Game trials in Baltimore, Maryland and I'm going to talk a little bit about those trials and the results. So in terms of what is the Good Behavior Game it's pretty straightforward it's a program that teaches teachers on how to manage their classroom typically in schools kids in first and second grade they don't change classrooms they're with the same teacher all day and the teachers can be given tools to impact behavior. In this case students sit in groups and the teacher defines the rules for the students and they understand them even if they can't read the rules are posted and the kids work in teams when they're playing the game at different periods during the day they are told that they're playing the game and they there will be tick marks put on the board if the student violates any of the rules of the class in any of the groups. So there's a chance for all the teams to win the game and there's the chance that once they do win the game they're distributed rewards and so rewards can be whatever is rewarding to the students and it's really important to think about selecting rewards that are affordable and maximally rewarding. So in Baltimore there are dance parties there's pencil tapping there's you know teachers can get really creative with with delivering rewards and what the rewards are and the results of this first generation trial were published in drug and alcohol dependence in 2008 with all the impact on a variety of outcomes that I'll go over here this is just looking at the outcomes across different domains so you'll see there was an impact of this GBG as played in first and second grade with high fidelity in this instance so the teachers did this and were monitored and mentored on how to implement this program. You can see kind of across the board around a 50% reduction or a 50% lower incidence in in the GBG group as compared to the standard setting which was the control condition that didn't receive the intervention. My results are on the bottom from my paper which focused on suicidal ideation and attempt and you'll notice here that for the other outcomes there was more impact in males and highly aggressive males and in my paper there was slightly more impact in females actually. So after this special issue came out in a couple of other papers were published on high school benefits in terms of high school graduation and sexual risk behaviors an analysis was done by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy and they found that for every dollar invested in the good behavior game there was about a 64 dollar return in investment in terms of the benefits across the board on the outcomes. Now this first generation was done with fairly high fidelity and it hasn't been replicated to the same extent by our group or others in terms of the suicide outcomes but we're actively trying to replicate those initial findings. In terms of another approach that's gotten a lot of attention is the youth aware of mental health program that comes from Europe. This is a program that was evaluated in a very large randomized trial that involved 10 countries in Europe mostly high income countries over 10,000 students were part of this and what they did is they compared a lot of the interventions that we use in the U.S. in schools like a keeper training question persuade and refer this new intervention called youth aware of mental health which is pretty much a role playing type of intervention approach and screening and referrals kind of like signs of suicide teen screen program which you may be familiar with and compared to control as well and what they found is no real difference at three months for suicidal ideation or attempt but they found a pretty dramatic reduction of around the magnitude that we found in the good behavior game so about a 50 percent reduction in suicidal or reduced incidence of suicide ideation attempt among the youth aware of mental health program group and this program is about five hours and it's heavily based on role play where the kids select problems that they often encounter and they problem solve together in groups and it's an interesting approach because it's very practical and it's kid driven because they pick the problems and it's discussion based as well and they get education the other program that we have going right now is funded by the born this way foundation which is lady Gaga's foundation we've taken teen mental health first aid from Australia and abroad to the United States they have a randomized trial of teen mental health first aid ongoing right now in Australia with some promising results they're doing the 18 month follow-up actually really promising results but I can't tell you about it because it's not my own work but anyway um teen mental health first aid is directed at the youth so the youth get trained kind of like gatekeepers they're trained and it's about a four hours easily embedded into health education class and into the curriculum of the school and it's a peer-to-peer program so the idea is how to recognize your friend when they're in crisis and what to do with your friend when they're in crisis it's very practical high quality materials interactive and 10 percent of the adults in the schools are intended to be trained as well these are the states that are participating in our born this way foundation piloting and adaptation to the U.S. cultural context this is being done in high schools and hopefully in the future we'll develop the program for middle schools as well so this is our trajectory right now we're piloting there's going to be a launch that will take place in the fall and the program should be readily available sometime in 2020 hopefully so what is needed to address in the school domain well one one big concern is that these programs even though they're evidence-based are not are not making it out into most schools so most schools are not implementing them and and if they are implemented oftentimes they're not sustained so we have to think about potentially some public policy solutions to get these programs embedded into schools and how they can be implemented in sustained long term and most of these programs show that unless they're implemented with high quality or high fidelity you're not going to get the payoffs or the returns that we would expect like from the first generation good behavior game trial so that's another thing we have to think really carefully about and i'll stop there thank you next up we have dr sherry mollick she's an associate professor in the department of psychology at george washington university and she teaches undergrad and graduate courses on developing suicide and hiv programs for teens and african-american churches she serves on the steering committee for the suicide prevention resource center and the national action alliance for suicide prevention's faith task force and as a grant reviewer for nih and is a founding pastor of the beloved community church in maryland thank you also for inviting me and excuse my voice i'm a little bit hoarse because there's a lot of pollen out today so i wanted to acknowledge to lead the arnold who i'm actually substituting for her she's the co-chair of the action the faith task force of the national action alliance i'm also a member of that task force and so i just wanted to make sure that we acknowledged her contribution i do wear two hats i'm going to be bringing both of those hats today as a professor in psychology at george washington university and also my role as a co-pastor of the beloved community church i've been in um i've been a gw for 20 years i've been a pastor for 11 years i've been in ministry for 20 years okay so why should we include faith communities um as part of our first responders are part of the people who should be associated with helping people get good mental health care the bottom line is that in faith communities a lot of times for people who are participants or members of a faith community it's like one-stop shopping and i'm going to talk more about my experience my contact which is the african-american christian church but mental health tradition issues affect all kinds of people and all from all faith traditions faith leaders are definitely often first responders um even if they don't feel qualified or trained to um to address some of the mental health issues oftentimes their community members will feel more comfortable talking with them as opposed to a mental health professional in fact but the reason i got involved with this research was because i realized that most of the would not see me as a mental health professional but would talk to me because i was a member of a faith community um faith communities are very holistic in their approach to the family and to the person's issues and concerns um we interact with people in diverse settings congregations include people from diverse workplaces including mental health professionals and so i was privileged to be part of a um the starting or the founding of a pastoral counseling center in prince george's county called the baraka counseling center pastoral counseling center which still exists and we started this about 25 years ago and they grew out of the african-american episcopal church just having a huge need for people um who wanted to get some mental health or emotional issues addressed and the first month that we opened which was in i believe 1996 we saw 600 people all of the providers there were members of that church community this is a mega church all of us had mental health backgrounds we had a psychiatrist social workers myself as a clinician i actually had students of mine training as externships in that setting so there's a lot that you can do there and then also we know that oftentimes the mental health crisis also becomes a crisis of faith so there are barriers to seeking um care and faith communities one is that for many um communities suicide violates faith communities cultural gender and role and gender role norms so for example i know in my own community oftentimes there's a perception that men don't um think about suicide and if they do they're weak sometimes suicide can be seen as a moral failing or as a crisis of faith that if your faith was strong enough you wouldn't be thinking about suicide and it also i know in my own faith tradition um a lot of times black people think that suicide is a quote unquote white thing you know that's not something that it occurs in the black community on tuesday i was at a congressional hearing from the congressional black caucus about this very issue so some of this has a lot to do if we need to educate people that that is in fact not true and we know that there are slave narratives of people jumping off of ships and so that people have always completed suicide in all communities and also there's a sometimes a big stick associated with mental illness in particular there's also distrust of mental health professionals when i was in seminary people would lately say things like you know don't talk about your jesus or your faith in a mental health context because people will try to take jesus from you um there's a whole concern about that mental health professionals will minimize your faith beliefs or traditions and they're also and this is true that many mental health professionals are not trained to deal with faith concerns in the context of the of a session um and we'll talk a little bit later on about how you can do that clergy know very little about suicide lethality so i have had situations where um people have been acutely and actively suicidal and people have prayed and not referred and so prayer is really important but this prayer plus referral is important as well on clergy are less likely to make mental health referrals particularly if the clergy i'm engaged in what's called other world theology other world theologies are ministries that focus more on the afterlife and may be promoting um the things in this life or this context are difficult and and you should expect trials and tribulations but the focus is going to be on living a pious life so that you can have an afterlife other churches focus more on what's called this worldly theology and those churches tend to be um workers around social issues and social justice issues and they're more likely to make referrals but the good news i'm eternally optimistic is that this is changing um so i think that there's less a stigma associated with suicide in religious communities people are looking more at um not um demonizing mental illness but really thinking more about it in terms of challenge um in terms of mental health or health status and looking more at less at the issue whether or not suicide is an unpardonable sin in some communities but looking more as added is a mental health challenge as much more focus on being compassionate towards people who have mental health challenges as well mental illness is also now beginning to be seen like other diseases and not a reason for shame in my own church we talk a lot about because i have asthma it's pretty well known in my congregation so i often make analogies to my asthma and to for example the need for taking medication if i don't take my medication i'm a risk for i'm having an asthma attack and if you don't take your medication then you're more at risk for having an episode we also see um really importantly that more and more clarity persons are seeing themselves as a member of a team and that they have an important role to play they're not to be the substitute for a mental health professional but they're an important resource for mental health professionals um there's a really good book out called cultivating wholeness and it talks about the fact that faith leaders are designed to cultivate gardens and that the gardener the soil is basically the holistic approach to to persons physical and mental and spiritual well-being and that there's a concept called mattering i don't know if you've heard about this but mattering is basically not just feeling accepted but feeling really important what you think how you live um how you behave what you're going through is really important in that community and there's lots of research that suggests that when people feel that they matter even in the middle of a mental health crisis that they have better outcomes one of the ways that we can do that is connecting people i think there's often a lot of concerns about doing interventions in faith communities because of the stigma associated with suicide but the other really strength that um faith communities have is that they're really good at connecting people and we know that connected this on multiple levels is really important i work more with youth and one of the things i love about working in faith communities is that even if the youth is not a member of that community that people most faith traditions or faith communities really love working with youth and will work with youth and incorporate them into programs that they have even if the family or the child his or herself are not members of that congregation it's a wonderful opportunity to have education netters of hope worship experiences and advocates and i'll go into these in a few details so as i said earlier um you can foster a sense of connective and and mattering both in and outside the the four walls of the edifice of the institution these are just some examples easter egg hunts for those of you or christians we recently had easter um that bottom picture on is actually my church where we have a family day every year and we we just spend with our normal service and we actually have games being played and that's my daughter playing some kind of card game in the bottom so shout out to my daughter we have lots and lots of educational opportunities so my church we do series in bible studies and we just finished a series on scandals we've also done series on um prayer theology we've done series on mental health issues we do lots of sermons one of the biggest ways that you can make changes is to normalize the conversation so we have inserts in our bulletin about suicide hotline we have a community table and we have mental health information about that we really focus a lot not just on suicide but on help seeking because i think that for all of the good ideas we're going to talk about today if we don't encourage people to normalize help seeking it's not going to matter we could have we could have a clinic in every place we could put you know all these great things in schools if we don't change people's norms about that it's okay to seek help so part of what we do in our faith communities we normalize the conversation about help seeking in july there's a minority mental health month and every year we have telling our stories i remember our people earlier talked about telling your stories and one of the most powerful things that we do all year is those storytelling where people get up and talk about family members or themselves their challenges with mental health it's very hopeful um one of the most powerful ones was my youngest daughter did hers about six or seven years ago and talked about her struggling with bullying in her school and how mental health resources particularly she's said cpt really helped her and she's doing really well now so those stories have a really big impact and we also know that in faith traditions there's often narratives of hope historically this is example of the civil rights movement again there's a lot of faith communities will have grandparenting programs where they'll have older people adopt children who are younger and they may or may not have grandparenting in their lives and they just engage in activities worship again i love doing things in faith communities because you have a captive audience and sermons are designed to be persuasive one time so um this is a challenge for researchers though research oftentimes we've written to several grants that have not been funded and one of the comments has been we're not heavily dosing our messages enough and then it's a it's a realization that science and the faith community has different ways of messaging and coping and presenting and communicating information so a sermon is designed to be impactful once and so these these are things that can happen really helpful um i already talked about telling our stories and we don't just do it around suicide we do it around people we have members of our church we have children on the autism spectrum bipolar disorder or PTSD we have members who talk about taking their medication they name the medication i love lexapro why they do it don't like it so that's really important um i've already talked about the the community tables our website has information our facebook page one of the most powerful things you can do is use social media so this conference today is on my work my personal facebook page but it's also on my church's west facebook page it's also on my denominations website so every time i can do that i'll be i'll be tweeting throughout the conference and so you can reach a lot of people my church is a small church we have about four or five hundred hits a month so even with 60 people it's amazing and those people go on to share more information so that's really important um treating prevention as a social justice issue is actually a different lens to use but it's also one that that people in our community at least can um easily resonate with and so we it also helps to reduce the stigma to talk about as a social justice issue that just like everyone should have um access to health care everyone should have access to mental health care um let's see there's also people in the um we also call it policy in the pulpit it's kind of a really good and important platform that you can have to help to change policy and to encourage members of your community to talk to their congress persons for example when legislation is coming out so all of those things both locally and nationally so the take home messages that faith communities are an untapped resource it really does take a village um caring for persons with mental illnesses and their challenges really takes it really involves partnerships I think uh faith communities and their leaders are a really important part of that village and I think that they inherently have many protective factors that we can access and rely on the other thing is that um as a clinician I'm only going to see someone once or twice a week a faith person a faith leader is going to see that person many more hours a week has access to them and the bottom line is we make house calls so I think it's an important resource that we need to take advantage of and to realize that with the for the team approach that we can all work together to make people whole these are just resources people have already talked about these and action action alliance has a great resources and tools so does the suicide prevention resource center if you need to get statistics um that can be localized to your community the CDC is also a good resource and so thank you great and now we have Francis Gonzalez who's senior director of marketing and communications for the national suicide prevention lifeline and vibrant emotional health hi thank you for taking the time to listen to me talk about community solutions so how do I even do this okay perfect so the national suicide prevention lifeline you've heard it mentioned before I hope that you might be familiar with our number 1-800-273-8255 and the lifeline's mission is to reach and serve all persons who could be at risk of suicide in the U.S. through a national network of local crisis centers so we are SAMHSA funded we are administered by vibrant emotional health which is my parent nonprofit and we're made up of over 160 crisis centers local crisis centers in over in 49 states and we also support the national disaster distress helpline and provide support for the veterans crisis line as well and the reason why I'm mentioning the 20 the network of over 160 centers is because it puts us in a unique position so we are a national line that we encourage people to share that national number but when you call the lifeline you are routed to a local crisis center and when you do that that provides opportunities not only on the national level to share messages of hope and recovery but also on the local community level so working with organizations working with local crisis centers in order to integrate suicide prevention and the lifeline into their local communities so how does the public feel about suicide prevention so we have found that 94 percent of people believe suicide is preventable 94 percent of people would do something if someone close to them had suicidal ideas I don't really have a lot of questions for like the other six percent so 64 percent of people would encourage friends and loved ones to seek mental health help I do want to note that only 38 percent of people would share hotline information or another resource in those moments of crisis which is extremely notable for us and 78 percent are interested in learning more how people how they could help people so 94 percent of people believe that they would do something but almost 50 percent of Americans identified bears that stopped them from trying to help someone who was at risk in those moments and those fears were based on why they didn't do it was based on fear that they would say or do something that was wrong and that would make it worse instead of better and also a very fundamental to lack of education not knowing how to find help for that person in crisis so for lifeline communications in particular not only do we work to promote the lifeline phone number but we also work to come up with resources and messaging to address the needs of the general public like this and so one of our key messages is focusing on stories of hope and recovery so healing hope and help are happening this used to be the suicide is preventable message but we felt that instead of just saying or you know saying suicide is preventable what we needed to do was illustrate those stories of hope and recovery that are actually happening every single day in different communities around the nation so we want to share those stories of hope and recovery and focus on the people in crisis now as well as those who've survived crisis illustrating those things that help them get through those difficult moments and the people who help them get through those difficult moments and so that is supported by our second message everyone can take action to prevent suicide how we frame this message is one of personal empowerment and community connection so we want to remove suicide prevention from the professional mental health room only and make it a universal message something that can be applied across communities and not only across communities but through interpersonal interactions and connections and so be the one to was born so we be the one to was started in about 2015 and these are five action steps that any person can take to help somebody in their life that might be in crisis they are evidence informed and they are intentionally written to be very accessible to everybody so with the notion that you may be in a situation where you don't know what to do so you're talking you're having a conversation with your friend you realize this person might be going through something but now you think to yourself I don't know what to do now and so these five steps serve as a blueprint or as we like to say suicidal crisis CPR they can sort of walk you through that interaction from beginning to end so asking someone if they're suicidal keeping them safe refers to asking them how they would hurt themselves and removing that means from them being be there talks about how to listen without judgment and effectively help them connect talks about how to connect that person to other supports and resources whether that is faith a church counseling system the lifeline and also following up so checking up on that person in the days and weeks after a suicidal crisis we launched this in 2015 and we have over 50 partners who participated in this at some point or another and this started as a digital campaign but as we built it out we realized that what we wanted to do was to offer a national framework but also opportunities for adaptation and customization on the community and local level so we designed it to have a lot of different ways of participation whether that's just sharing the steps on social media creating your own graphic kit if you have the resources to do that sending a postcard or sharing a postcard with us talking about the time somebody has helped you through a crisis participating in a twitter chat hanging up posters and donating to your local crisis center now these are only a couple of the ways that people have a help to promote the be the one two steps are also integrated them into systems that they already have for instance the us navy has integrated the be the one two steps into existing tool kits that they were already creating and these are now integrated as a section of those kits metro north railroad created posters that illustrated the different steps and encouraged people to check out the website that they hung on their trains and also in their stations and also the office of mental health in new york city utilize be the one to as a potential grant program for their local community organizations asking them to take be the one to and find ways to customize that for the communities that they were serving so this is just an example of a customization that we have on our website people creating their own kits and organizations creating their own kits that more accurately reflect the communities that they're trying to serve how does this work in media we also encourage our local crisis centers and our partners to integrate the message of be the one to which is that everyone can do something to prevent suicide as well as those individual steps in their talking points when they're working with media with local community partners when they're addressing local incidents in their own towns so these are just two examples on more of a national scale of how we integrated that so the first one on the left is in a recent reprinting of 13 reasons why we worked with them to include the lifeline number but also be the one to we also worked with CNN in June 2018 I'm sure all of you familiar with Anthony Bourdain dying by suicide and Kate Spade dying by suicide and CNN actually approached us and said hey we see that you have these steps that are available can we put them on our site during our coverage and the answer of course was yes please do okay in addition to that talking more about digital communities more specifically the same idea of a framework which is to provide standards across the country but then allow for customization and implementation on a community level so the lifeline has worked with suicide social media platforms for over 10 years to develop safety processes for suicidal individuals and you can see some of those logos there we also have a facebook page there's over 300 000 followers and extremely active moderation and we also realize we're receiving a lot of the same questions over and over from the public about social media posts that they were encountering on their own forums and so we came up with our social media toolkit we released this in September 2018 and what this was is a is a turnkey set of guidelines for moderators community moderators social media platforms and also users on the individual level so the kit works to identify and help promote engagement with people in crisis online and addresses common recurring questions and it once again is also designed for people who are unfamiliar with the mental health space it also is designed to be educational the idea is that we want you to take this kit educate yourself about how to recognize people who are in crisis online but also to customize your engagement with that individual in order to match the tone or the needs of your specific group because we believe that you above all else know what your community particularly needs or the users of your community needs and we provide the insight and the guidance as to what those resources should look like and how they should be implemented for instance we do provide canned messaging but we also provide guidance on why the can messaging is how it is so considering a post about suicide to be serious and genuine developing a system of monitoring and responding when someone's in crisis crafting responses that are sensitive to the situation but realistic as to your ability to handle those situations and educating people about imminent risk in those times when you may need to actually reach out to emergency services we found that this actually has a much broader use than it was originally intended for for moderators blog posts things like that we found that it is actually useful for all communities with some form of digital presence so we've provided it to influencers content creators and storytellers who are actively sharing stories about mental health or who are interested in sharing stories about mental health we've provided it to the SAMHSA office of communications we've also shared it with journalists and media organizations who are thinking about writing stories of suicide prevention but are worried about doing so because they're worried about the kinds of comments they're going to get when they post that story online and we can say to them hey yeah you can write these stories you can prepare for what might come in advance we also provide it to public figures with large social media followings as I mentioned earlier so there are postcards in the back about be the one to please take them because I don't want to bring them home you can find more information about the lifeline at suicideprevention lifeline.org and our parent org at vibrant.org and of course there's my information there if you'd like to talk more about these solutions hi everybody this was a fantastic panel thank you so much for your comments I'd like to encourage the group now to take some of the information that you learned from this this panel on the community context and apply it to an exercise that we'll be doing at your seats at your table so first can I ask our facilitators that are sitting at each table to raise their hand okay so this is your facilitator and we'd like to pick up on some of the themes that were addressed in the conversations at the table so your facilitators will give you guidance about the exercise that's coming up and we also encourage you to ask our panelists questions over lunch which will happen after this exercise okay great thank you thank you all


In your mind, when you guys had a little bit of a lead and they go on that 23 to 5 run, what happened? Was that anything they did? Or was that what you guys kind of lose at home? The three-point line killed us today. I mean, the two top scorers had more threes than me and Ka. We matched them pretty much scoring, but it's the three-point line that separated us. 9 to 16. I mean, this team is an incredible offense to rebound the team. I don't think they pretty much matched up on the boards. We passed the ball well. We didn't turn the ball over. The fact they knocked down more threes than us, that's the name of the game now. Even if you're not playing well or up to par with the opponent, if you make it three, you give yourself a chance. So I think that's what really separated us was the three-point line. They couldn't stop us either. We shot 54%. We got to the line. Like I said, we passed the ball well. They turned it over. I mean, they shot better than us at the three-point line. I mean, I think sometimes we're indecisive on some stuff. Some stuff we should be switching. And then one guy's on one page, one guy's on another. I think that sometimes our communication is often in a league. If a team sees you make a mistake, they capitalize on it pretty easily and pretty quick. So we couldn't go back and forth with this team because they was knocking down three-pointers. But I think we pretty much got whatever we want on the offensive end, too. It was a shootout, but they happened to make more threes than us.  Yeah, I mean, we just got to, we probably could create better looks for it, especially me and Kai. We probably can create better looks at the three-point line. But we still feel confident that we'll knock them down, moving forward. Yeah, I mean, anything is right. You can rep a lot of stuff out. But it's about having your mind in the right place and being focused and disciplined on the game plan and making adjustments on the fly, being able to make that adjustment as an individual player and as a team on the fly, and being able to have versatile defenders that can do everything. So we got pretty much that. It's just when teams start knocking down threes on us, that just makes us all frantic. Now we running out and trying to contest and they dumping it all for a layup that may kick it to the other side. So it's like we get down 12. We can't panic on defense. We're not playing solid when we get down and teams start knocking down shots. You see, Bane just miscommunications made a few threes, just from us, not even just leaving them open, not switching, not pursuing on the screen, all those stuff like that. And Bane was due for a huge night. He was struggling shooting the last three games. So you knew he was going to get high at some point. And then John Moran making threes as well. So it was a tough one for us. But we didn't totally just give it to how they play. We made them make shots over us. We've been set off on, you know, to see him getting a little more frustrated with the continued foul brawns that he's dealing with. Yeah, I think a few of those were questionable. But that's just how it is. And I'm sure they called a few questionable ones on them as well, and it just evens out at some point. I thought the last foul he got was, I didn't think that one was a foul, but it is what it is. Ben's a veteran in this league, so he trusts himself. We trust him. And this is about just bouncing back next game. On the other end, I mean, obviously, for a guy who missed a year or went on board, it's going to take him a while to get back to Bane. Does he have to be more aggressive in terms of driving and just guys going to lay off? Yeah, we want everybody to be more aggressive. We want Royce to be more aggressive. We want Ben. Joe, when he come in, Ed, when he come in, we want everybody to be aggressive. That's the name of basketball is to impose your will on your opponent. So yeah, we're encouraging that every time we step out on the floor. He's going to do a challenge of guarding the game. You can't stop these superstar players in the league. Make it as tough as you can. Hopefully, they're not knocking down shots that game. They coaches are going to scheme for him and put him in positions to be successful. And our game is spread out game. So these guys are going to score. It's about limiting them as a team and taking them away from the stuff that they'd like to do as a team. Yonah's going to make tough buckets. Drew's going to make tough buckets. But it's about making them feel us and having them shoot over in hand every time down. The job's going to be his first season for Chicago this year. I'm just curious, Drew, what did he bring when he got the first one? What is he going to do for the job to kind of show what he is the star is like in this league?  He's the most marketable guy in our league, the face of our league going forward. So many kids are inspired by what he does. And we're all one big family at Nike, so it's going to be a lot of support for his shoe coming out. And as an individual player, when you get that type of recognition, man, it's just hard to describe. So I'm happy for him. No shoe going to look incredible. I know he's going to continue to keep pushing the game forward. And what did you feel when you got the first one? I still don't know what to feel, bro. It's still surreal seeing my name on shoes every time I put them on. I don't wear nothing else, but my shoes. When I play ball, it's pretty cool. So it's an exciting time being able to create, being able to be a partner with Nike. It's still a dream to me. You do think you use a new face? Or the league? Yeah, for sure. I mean, there's a lot of faces. You can tell that the change in the errors in the league as time goes on in the last 10 years, in this next 15 years, you see the guys that are in the league right now that are going to help push the game forward. That's really what it's all about. It's not one guy, two guys, three guys that shift or change the game. It's a group of us that do it. And Jai is definitely in that group, for sure.


Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling As you guys can see no makeup. I have a bunch of colors on guys. I'm getting ready to go to top golf with a friend and Have some brunch after because you guys know I'm a vegan.

Oh supernatural glow um, I typically you Let me show you what I use It's so messy. I typically use this the jubius place what is the palette is this the nubian palette and um What's the other palette uh-oh There's another palette in here.

This is not a palette that's new out Um, I'm just getting hip to it because it has all the colors that I absolutely love I do not wear colors on my skin my face like Pink and stuff like that. It's not something that I do Um, however, it's not saying that I won't ever try it, but here's the palette This is very nice Super nice, right? natural colors. I know there's another one, but We're gonna use this one today. I'm gonna probably use. Oh, here's the cool thing. It has the names on it. So this is perfect So I don't really use a lot of color. I use like natural colors on the eye like browns and stuff Um, but this let me see. I'm probably gonna use I'll probably use This is pretty this all-natch It's pretty And let me see let me see I'm trying to compare it to something that I usually use Yeah, the all-natch Natch is cute. I guess I don't know what it's any any tch that's pretty, um Uh, how bizarre is nice so All-natch is this one And then how bizarre is this one? So I don't use a lot of color on the eye. Let me slide this over here And get this going. Okay Um, so typically what I usually you guys already know, I don't use a lot of stuff But I'll run through what I have here My bobby brown I'm gonna just put on and we're just gonna just chat today. We're gonna chat Just chat a little bit today.  Um So I wanted to talk about Stooping to the level of people Who's kind of like getting on your nerves, right? um Try not to stoop to their level because what happens is when you Either have a friend a family member co-worker a boss if they are a nasty person Okay, if they're a nasty person this absolutely nothing You can do about this person being the way they are, right? You have people who go out of their way Every day to do something to a person You know, you have parents who treat their kids bad. Um, maybe they treat one kid bad I don't know. Maybe they don't like the dad. Who knows but I've seen it happen and I've also seen people's karma come back 10 fold. Okay So I was listening to Oprah the other day. This is just a brown I've been buying the same pencil. I think they changed the style of it a little bit But this is the Revlon color stay pencil um But I've I've seen people's karma come back to them um And I'll tell you this. Oh man. It's just like it's so sad Because people don't realize how much They do can affect their family Right, and I don't know if I said this story before But I used to have a director He was a horrible person. He was just not a nice person at all I didn't have any real issues with him um until Until I started taking up for the team like I was like a supervisor and I you know I'm just not taking up for them like just because I wanted to just like it was the right thing to do But he was such an a ho my god So, you know, he wouldn't care about the women who had kids who worked from home He didn't have any sympathy, right? I don't care if you don't have kids and stuff um, I know people judge a lot, but Even if you don't have kids, you know, what's right and wrong like you still have a little bit of feeling, right? I don't care what role you're in. It's just what it is So he really didn't care. He's to threaten people's jobs all the time or whatever um, he just was not a nice person so He uh, his wife ended up getting pregnant And guys here's where it got bad. She was a sweet lady, right? She got hit by our freaking car like soon after she gave birth and no one at the job Cared like no flowers like she didn't die, but no one cared But that's because of how he is, right? It was almost like people detached from him and When you do things with bad intentions. Whoo, baby It will always come back to you. I don't care. Okay as oprah says it. It is the third law of physics Okay, it's newton's third law, right? When you if you're gonna do something for someone and your intent Is to get something in return. It's just you're not doing it out of the kind of of your heart If you are asking a person a question And you're asking this question to dig around. It's just you're not doing it with good intentions, right? And it matters. So I'll I'll say this I don't talk about um, my dad because He was just like a Non-existent, right? He was there a little bit, but you know He is from Jamaica And he was married to my mom. So when I talk about karma And how it comes back It doesn't come back right away and Oh man You know, I was under the Impressions That oh, this is you guys know, this is the la program now I The reason why I've been using this is because I haven't really been going anywhere to even use my gnares. I love gnares But I haven't even been going anywhere to use gnares, which is here um, but You know, I've watched him Have money You know one thing I'll say this first before somebody sees this years later and says Oh, your mom probably was talking about no, my mother never talked bad about my dad, which was I saw for myself and I formed my own opinion You know about him and out of all his brothers I think he's the only one who didn't take care of his children And you know, so anyway His karma came back because His behind got deported And I'll say this I just swore up and down because he was married to my mama before she passed That he was a citizen.  Here's my other la My other la girl pro. This is this I don't know if it's too light for me But I use a little bit of it under my eye um So here it is, you know He's back in Jamaica And they wanted all the help in the world to get him back here And I was like well for what like so he can have more kids and not take care of them Like so I can come out of my paycheck No, like he needs to go home and think about the stuff that he Like seriously Like and and the thing It's not funny, but You know, I don't know if he's ever sat back and thought about the children that he had here um by many women Left them to fend for the kids while you're out just like having a good time, right And like I said, my mother never said anything bad. She always wanted us to buy him gifts for his birthday I just wasn't with it I wasn't with it because I saw like I saw things So a lot of men would say oh does that make you bitter? No, I just It's almost like there's no connection there, right? And I've seen this happen so many times. I knew a guy.  He completely forgot about his kid his first kid And he comes back comes back bearing gifts and stuff and I'm just like that's the worst thing you can do Because now your kid is only going to expect gifts from you. There's no love there.  You're like, why why am I going through this?  You know, um It just sucks or if you have a friend Right and your friend Can potentially be jealous and you don't even Uh-oh I'm into grab my um My powder here and I'm just gonna add a little bit under my eyes and on top of my nose I don't even know how to contour but I do enough just so I can look okay in the streets. Okay um I'm gonna look at an america.   It may not come back today tomorrow next year It's coming back though And then you wonder why Why things Don't work out for you Well, you may be sick a lot or You know, who knows and it can come in any forms, but i'm telling you now Folks need to uh-oh Hold on Folks need to set it out And stop with the madness I got my um Hold on guys. Let me fix this. Is it even gonna stay up because We'll leave it like that. Um stop the madness that comes back I'll say this when it comes to my dad. So he ended up He ended up getting arrested, right?   I'm a quiet person But I I ended up running into her. I didn't know who she was And she said to me Why aren't you guys coming to see your dad? I said, excuse me I said, oh, you don't want to touch these waters And she's like, what you mean? I said, I'm telling you now.  What did I say? I'm going to use how bizarre and All-natch so How bizarre of which may be the only one that I use because it's kind of It's giving me like a red reddish vibe Um So when she said I'm like lady, you don't want to touch these waters Now my dad was such when I say he was such a liar.  Okay So I'm sorry to bust your bubble sweetie, but he probably got another boo on this side Because I I got knew how he was and She was like, uh-uh. I was like, okay. I'm just telling me he ain't coming over to our house Now I'm gonna use the darker one Which is all-natch and I'm just gonna see I'm gonna see what it does up here a little bit Yeah That's pretty All-natch is pretty um So I ended up seeing him inside or whatever and it was just a sad situation because You know, I don't think people see what they do when they Aren't in their children's lives, but that karma be coming back boy, but he's talking Jamaican now right and You know, he can't come back and he to be honest, it may sound cold, but He shouldn't he doesn't need to be here. You having children. You're not taking care of them You don't need to be here So then you have a person like My old director He had that karma with his wife and It was sad guys because She got hit by a car right after she gave birth Okay, can you guys see that? This is the bronzer. This is from morphe and this is leader I tried to buy the um The nars one It was no type of pigment on that one And listen, I'll probably be putting bronzer on my face all wrong, but I make it work I Make it work. I'm not contouring. I don't even know how to do it And to be honest, I don't think I'm interested In it I do have a little highlighted on um But then but he ended up getting fired also too. He ended up getting fired um He's just was not a nice person But that's what I'm saying like a lot of people who start their own businesses and stuff I really be so happy for them because god knows what they had to go through At like a job with a miserable person That's my blush. This I've been this blush is savage by nars I've been using this for a long time. Let me gotta show you the color You just take the top off because it is broke So that's the color of the blush Okay um But misery boy misery in this company.

You know, you do good It comes back to you um When your intent is to really be malicious to a person That also comes back Okay, so I'm just saying Be careful with the type of stuff you're doing and putting out there into the universe Guys because that mug will come back and remember what assili said What have you done to me already been done to you? It's so true. It will always come back. I don't care And listen even when you have like now when it comes to like maybe A ex boyfriend or something like that um, and I don't mean just like Cheating I mean like abuse and stuff right That also comes back To them You know people shouldn't have to go through stuff like that which I wish I really understood. Um Women who stay in situations I personally think that And I don't know. Let me know what you guys think. I think sometimes People will try you right And they want to see your reaction.   Are you gonna fight back all these things they're trying to see And I think men test women I don't even want to say men Guys who like I'm gonna say guys guys who like Control possibly will like to test women on stuff like that I don't know.

We're to have you here once again on the breakfast on plus TV Africa on Today in history. We're going back to the year 2012 the 18th of May and we're talking about one of the biggest sites, you know in the world Facebook on this day it posted the Largest or one of the largest tech IPOs in the US history of 16 billion dollars It initially and I'll just go back, you know to February 1st 2012 That was when the Facebook had filed for the initial public offering The preliminary prospect, you know stated that the company sought to raise five billion dollars from that IPO at that time It had 845 million active monthly users and a website feature 2.7 billion daily likes and comments at that time also Mark Zuckerberg was you know said to you know own or retain 22% ownership share in Facebook and would own 57% of the voting shares fast forward to May 16th That was when the IP was eventually launched and it raised 16 billion dollars by the 18th of May on this day making it a largest in US history Just ahead of AT&T wireless and only behind General Motors and Visa and You know, that was the record that was broken on this day at that time to come to me, of course anticipated its IPO on Anticipated that's a IPO would sell for about or shares rather was helpful about thirty eight point two three dollars But it did that pretty well and some people had also stated that that was a little disappointing Thirty eight dollars, but basically that's what you know it is for the 18th of May on this day 16 billion dollars raised in its initial public offering for Facebook On this day in 2012 Wow Amazing well Facebook has paid its dues from you know going back to our Matt Zuckerberg founded this, you know Just in school has grown to a multi-billion dollar company and Just helps people connect absolutely and he you know has turned out and being you know one of the richest people in the world Since you know that time since 2000 early 2000s and still running. So it's a success story It's also a story that you know, we should you know, I always like to say that we should learn from You know information technology and how much we should invest and we should encourage information technology and Some of that here in Nigeria. We should you know open up that space wholeheartedly Yes, I admit that there is you know being some success. There are some things that we should celebrate with regards You know certain companies here in Nigeria founded here in Nigeria that have You know made, you know great stride with regards information technology, but it should continue to be encouraged and to be invested in Moving forward So I'm gonna tell you about a woman who made the Guinness Book of World Records in 1953 18th of May this day in history So her name is a Jacqueline Cochrane and on this day in history She broke a record which is the sound barrier. So Jacqueline was an American pilot She was a business executive She pioneered women's aviation as one of the most prominent racing pilot of her generation Now this woman set numerous records and was the first Woman to break the sound barrier on this day in 1956 She was also the first woman to take off from an aircraft carrier She was the first pilots to make a blind instrument landing She was the first woman inducted into the aviation Hall of Fame Jacqueline died unfortunately in 1980 when she was 78 years old and we know that during World War two she helped deliver American Beauds planes to Britain helps played an instrumental role in Recreating qualified women pilots into the air transport command She was the first woman to build a bomber to fly a bomber across the Atlantic. She won five Hammond trophies I mean she just is Phenomenal she's just done a lot and she began flying You know from a very very young age and I can you can see pictures of her looking so beautiful Proving just like a sister to show a lot like we discussed yesterday that women really can do anything So why it's really Really why is it phenomenal for? Jacqueline Cochrane to make history on May 18 1953 as the first woman to break the sound barrier So back in the year of during the World War two Pilots Reported that when they flew their helicopters flew their planes They get they get to a point where their planes begin to tear apart to get to a point where Basically their instruments begin to freeze and they assumed this was called a sound barrier And they assume that the sound barrier was actually a physical barrier Then when you fly so fast you get to that barrier your plane begins to actually tear your instruments into freeze Like things just begin to go wrong with your aircraft So that basically was the was the belief at that time But they didn't know actually because you know tech knowledge and all of that advancement had not been at that time They didn't know that the sound barrier wasn't actually a physical barrier It was just a barrier that meant that they were approaching the speed of lights right to the sound the sound of light So Jacqueline Cochrane on this day in history, you know, she actually Broke that sound barrier. She flew faster than the speed of light and has now etched her name in gold in stone In history as the first woman ever to do so Fantastic, and you know, it's once again the Benefits of living in the society that doesn't limit women in any way It doesn't have cultural or political or religious, you know barriers for women So she's able to break that barrier because there was no barrier limiting word There was no barrier limiting, you know, how far she could go or you know How much success she was she was going to be able to achieve You know, I would like to say that we should once again encourage stuff like that here in Nigeria You know and remove some of the things that have limited women. There's so many fantastic brilliant Phenomenal female minds here in Nigeria that should be given a chance to just live and enjoy themselves You know, yes, and some of the things that you know, we've created as barriers here in Nigeria marriage Religion tribe some of all that especially marriage Yeah, yeah, absolutely Some of all those things should be taken away, you know As barriers for women here in Nigeria so that they can break some of all these boundaries as it's not to show a lot You know, it's our latest example of someone who has first African to win Champions League And there should be more. There should also be dolls open for many many more To continue and men normalize approaching successful women. We don't bite That's it today in history in May 18th 1953 a phenomenal woman who broke the sound barrier He went back to 2012 2012. Yes when Facebook IPO hit 16 billion dollars on this day 18th of May 2012 Stay with us our first major conversation for today We're going to Kaduna State where the Nigerian Labour Congress Basically shot down the state yesterday in protesting and of course declaring a five-day warning strike With the Kaduna state government So we're going to be speaking this morning with members of the NLC in Kaduna the president and vice president and of course That comes up right after the short break


Okay, so how many significant figures are in the answers for each of the following? So in this one, you've got something that's got two significant figures and a number that's got three significant figures. So when you're multiplying the two numbers together, you're going to take the one with the least amount of sig figs, okay? So we've got to multiply 23 times 657 and that gives us 15111, okay? Of course, this has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 significant figures, so you're going to have to reduce that to two significant figures, so you're going to have to put this in the scientific notation, okay? So the decimal point applied is there, so you're going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, so the actual answer is going to be 1.5 times 10 to the fourth. So when you're adding or subtracting for significant figures, you want to do the one that has the least amount after the decimal point. In this problem, we're adding two numbers together, so the first thing we want to do is take those two numbers and add them together and we get this number, 0.24121, okay? Well, that has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 numbers after the decimal point. This one has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but this one has 1, 2, 3 numbers after the decimal point. So we're going to have to cut this one off right there, okay? So this one actually equals 0.241, okay? So that's the answer, okay? And again, with division, just like multiplication, you just do the one that has the least amount of sig figs. This one has 3, this one has 5, so your answer is going to be 3. In this case, you got 5.985, and if you go into three sig figs, you want to do these three, but 5 is the number that you need to start rounding up with, okay? So in actuality, this won't be 5.98, it's going to be 5.99.


What if I told you that the famous Backrooms of a zero is not actually the first backroom's level that you can get sent to if you fall out of reality Well today, I'm gonna be talking about another backroom's level that can be accessed directly from the front rooms And if you do access it, you'll be able to skip over 900 levels in the lore the level in question is level 913 and without further ado, let me just jump right into the explanation and I guess rock your world So when you make the accident will fall into the backrooms You will obviously end up on backrooms of a zero the the famous yellow wallpaper level now There is a very small chance that you might get sent to level one or to level two or even three if you're unlucky But the odds are you're gonna be falling into level zero It just seems that the connection from the front rooms to level zero is the strongest now That was the fact until a few months ago when level 913 was discovered this level has been given a class Undetermined difficulty due to its really mysterious nature and the lack of information We have on it to be honest only a few people have even been here as well as the possibility of Undocumented entities that are lurking around and I'll touch on that later the size of this level is Impossible to determine due to its non-linear geometry as no ending has ever been found Which is a pretty common thing through the back rooms nothing crazy the levels nickname is actually the endless white And that's because for as far as the eye can see It's just white rooms and halls and staircases when you no-clip into this white abyss You'll find yourself laying on your back staring up at the ceiling You'll hear a faint hum buzz from around the lights and you'll hear this flickering Staticy noise if you put your ear to the ground somewhere on this level You'll actually hear that flickering noise through the ground. It sounds like it's coming from an old TV But it's coming from underneath you standing up and scanning your surroundings You'll see just how barren and empty the level actually is it's a white hell It's dull the whiteness as far as the eyes can see I wonderers who have actually been here Say they hear their own echoes reverberating through the hallways even if they barely make noise You can just whisper or barely drag your feet and you're gonna hear it echoing and being distorted off the walls Other noises can sometimes be heard too when you get deeper into this level like strange laughing and giggling and creatures Scurrying between rooms and I'll get it all that later. Your ears are not playing tricks on you Yeah, I guess something's actually there. We just don't know what it is So I can't tell you the walls and pretty much all of the level is this glossy dull White color which could probably cause you to lose your mind since there's no other colorations around the level also has several Different explorable areas those being the hallways the bedrooms the living rooms and the open huge rooms Inside of these different areas is furniture that corresponds with it like living rooms will have couches and tables and Bedrooms will have beds obviously you get the point all of the stuff everywhere is white If you're running to a window or an open door in the level You might notice that behind it is a pitch black void There's only just blackness and random specs of light Now you might think that the level takes place inside of the void level because of that But I think you'd be wrong I think that's not the case because some wanderers have reported looking out into that void and seeing some kind of strange Blue-white light in the distance and the light actually copies the movement of anyone that's looking out at it So if you shake your head, it'll shake back and forth The light will gradually get brighter and brighter over time and the longer you stare at it the brighter it'll get if you stare at it for a really long time the ball will become a dark red color and then it'll vanish and Then appear randomly in a different window almost like it's stalking you We have no idea what this is why it happens or what it even could be But it gives everyone who encounters it this really unnerving feeling like you're being spied on somehow You pretty much are I guess but now in the larger rooms of this level You'll find white concrete pillars arranged in straight lines as far as the eye can see Walking in between these pillars can cause a weird effect to happen That I've never really heard of but it's pretty cool If you close your eyes or blink for longer than a couple seconds while walking in between the pillars When you open your eyes, you'll be in a different position Off in the distance so think of an enderman from Minecraft teleporting around That's pretty much what you're doing in this level. It's pretty neat And sometimes you can do this and you no clip out of the level as well Which could be pretty useful if you look up to the ceiling again You'll hear that buzzing noise again and at the beginning I said it was from the actual lights But it's not actually from the lights No, it's it's something a little bit worse. Of course. It's worse. It's always worse The buzz is from these black bugs that are flying up toward the lights and trying to get to it There's literally hundreds of thousands of these bugs around these lights and they're buzzing and flapping and bumping into them They do this until the heat from the lights literally fries them and they just drop on the floor by you The noise of the bugs brings this very unsettling Ambience to the level. I mean you thought it was the humbuzz lights. It's actually bugs unaliving themselves Pretty weird if you're walking down these white hallways and you run into a random wooden door in the wall You open it up You might be able to see a place that you've been to in this level before like an exact copy of Maybe where you started or you were you can walk in the room and then you'll be right back where that was and Effects like this are the ones that make people extremely disoriented and honestly They induce paranoia and a lot of people who come here It's really trippy to open a door and see a place you just were and that's where the non linear Geometry really just messes with your mind unless you're me it wouldn't do it with me but if you couple that weird effect with the white coloring the buzz in the bugs the random Light outside shining on you and also the weird distorted noises You're gonna go pretty crazy and speaking of those noises the longer you walk through the hallways here The stranger the noises get now. I mentioned earlier those noises could be like giggling or scurrying or laughing or something like that But eventually you'll get so deep that you'll start to hear these noises Behind doors in this level and these doors are like really scary to people because they don't want to open them and see What's back there the level essentially drives you insane because of just how isolating and just weird it is It said that some people have walked so deep into this level and found a door That's like blocked off and shut and that's where they've heard these weird distorted noises from behind it Right as they heard these noises the lights above them in the ceiling went completely off They shut off went completely black and the light outside that washes you through the windows will get really bright Then poof the person that just witnessed that is gone at the outcome of these weird anomalies is Unknown we have no idea where the person goes. We have no idea what's making the noise We have no idea what the weird light is But all we know is it's just strange man Now the entrance to the level is where the things start to get weirder somehow because wanderers like I said can enter from the Front rooms by just walking into any room and an opening to door to get there The way this works is that every person on this planet has a small chance to open a door and Everything in that room will be completely white if they make the step into that room They will be sent to this level where they'll wake up on the floor staring at the ceiling now This is pretty horrifying because it could happen to anybody Completely randomly there's no way to calculate it or why it happens But you could just be going to school you could open up your bathroom door and step inside without realizing it and bam You know you're 913 levels deep in the back rooms pretty horrifying to me But there's no reasoning or explanation for it And there's no way that we can tell why it's connected to reality some people think it's some sort of middle ground between the earth and the back rooms or it's like a Purgatory area that people go to that slip out of the cracks of reality We don't know but if you do want to escape this level then you need to close your eyes Like I said earlier and walk between those pillars and that'll give you a chance to no clip out The only problem is we have no idea where it's gonna take you if you leave. Yeah, let me know if you enjoy this level I think it's so cool that there's a level like this that is connected to reality. That's not level zero I mean, that's pretty neat. Leave a like if you enjoyed it Thank you for watching to the end. Love and appreciate you all check out the links below if you want my other channels All of that self-promoting stuff, I don't I don't really like doing that, but but it's down there if you want it Thank you all so much for everything and I'll see you in the next video on the channel


Hi everyone, Megan Cox here today and we will be looking at the Google Jamboard app for iPad. Google Jamboard is an interactive whiteboard tool that allows you to sketch, add images, notes, and collaborate with others in real time. Google Jamboard is a built-in part of our Google Suite tools for education. In this tutorial, we will explore the iPad app version of Google Jamboard and the features and functions that work within it. To get started with the Google Jamboard app, first download this from your self-service or your regular app store. Once the app is downloaded, you will see an icon like this labeled Jamboard. The first time you click at this, it may prompt you to line it login. Notice it recognize my login from other Google tools. To check to see what account you're logged in, simply click the three dots or the three lines in the top left. To create a new Jamboard, click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. Here you will be brought to a blank Jamboard window. A few areas to note. In the top right hand corner, you will have the ability to click three dots to get to settings as well as a lot of familiar options from your other Google Suite tools. For example, you will have the same ability to star or save files to your Google Drive. You will also have the ability to share. Sharing works the same as other Google Drive files. You can add others to edit and contribute or you can just make the file view only so others can see your content and look or watch in real time if you choose. When sharing, you want to make sure that you add the g.account if you are trying to share within our district and remember to choose whether you want them to be editor or viewer. Another good tool is to make sure you name this Jamboard. I'm going to name this one Test101 and that will make it easy for me to find and search in my Google Drive later. Every time you create a Jamboard, it is automatically saving to your Google Drive. A few other options as you finish. You can copy the link and share it out. You can save your Jamboard your entire file as a PDF or you can say share just this frame what you see in this screen as a single image. If you notice, I have the arrow and the ability to create multiple frames. If you download it as a PDF, it will choose it will save each frame. If you save it as an image, you will have to do each one one by one. If you look to the left, you'll see some tools to select them. You simply tap once to expand. If you tap again, you will see multiple options. Here you have the ability to write with a pen, marker, highlighter and paintbrush and select your color. Please note that each tool is going to show a different shade of that color as well as thickness. So be selective with what you have. If you notice, the iPad also offers assistive drawing tools. To expand on that, click your arrow. The first one is the ability to change handwriting into text. I can simply write words with my pen or finger and it will convert to text. If I tap again, I have a shape tool. It will also help make hand drawn shapes. The third one allows you to recognize images. This tool is not always perfect, but it is very helpful when trying to add elements to a page. For example, I'm going to switch to my yellow and I'm going to attempt to draw a sun. Super simple. You will notice as I have that tool turned on and I'm drawing, it's asking me at the bottom, did you mean any of these features? I can kind of use my finger to scroll, select the one that I like and hit the check mark. I'm going to drop down to this arrow. This arrow will allow you to go back and select things you have made in the past. You can use that to move them on the page. Two fingers will allow you to change size and kind of turn. This is going to be true for any of my features. If I drag it over to the right, it's going to switch it to the next page. If I drag something to the bottom, it'll let me trash it. If I just want to erase something, I can tap my eraser and color over it. If I tap it again, it will give me the option to choose to clear my entire frame. This would be handy for someone who needs to continue getting clear frames really easily or you can simply arrow back and forth. The laser is a very handy tool if you have students or participants joining your Jamboard in real time. If I have a lesson created and I want to kind of highlight or point out a specific part on my screen, the laser will help you do that. For example, I may have my problem set up that I want to model to students. If they are in my Jamboard in real time, they will see my drawings and work appear in real time. To highlight what I'm talking about, I can kind of circle and laser it so that it temporarily highlights it. If you hit the plus sign, you have additional options. I'm going to go to a clean page. I can add sticky notes. These are essentially text boxes with a border. It's a good way to kind of show directions or specific things that you want to separate from the rest of the page. If you click that little circle, you can expand on your colors. Remember, if I want to move it, I need to click that arrow. I can make it bigger and move it. You can also search for images. This is going to do a Google search. You can simply insert these. I'm going to actually send this one to another page. Now I'm going to use my fingers to kind of zoom it in and you will see I have a nice background image. Now I can use my marker to write over that and we can label different parts. Another really good feature is the ability to insert photos from your camera or your camera roll. You will also have stickers if you want to choose some of their built-in options. Again, to make bigger, use that selection tool and now I can write on it. One function that is a big advantage to using the iPad version is the ability to insert content from your Google Drive and manipulate it. Here I have a choice board. If I click those three dots, I can expand it. Because this choice board is multiple pages, I now have thumbnails of all of those pages and I can simply force hold my finger on one of them to drag that one page out and make it a little bit larger. Now we can use this slide to talk about day one and I can annotate and make notes. I wanted to go to slide two. I could simply drag this guy over. On the next slide, again, I can expand this and now I could pull out day two. So you can see where you could really access multiple pages in a document or a Google slide and kind of expand upon them on each page. If I need to undo something, I do have an undo or redo button in the bottom. If I need to adjust this, I can duplicate it or delete it always with the three dots. If I hit this back arrow, it's going to take me to a dashboard that has all of my recent jams. But remember, you can also get to these three little lines to kind of adjust where it's going in your Google Drive. The final way that you can access your Jamboards is by going to Google Drive directly and creating them there. Thanks for tuning in today guys and don't forget to like and follow us on all of our social media platforms.


Hi, I'm here with Dr. Huckweimer from Tauka Resources. Dr. Huckweimer, can you tell us a little bit about what your company and what you do? The company is actually an Australian listed stock market listed company. The company has a very large graphite deposit in Northern Sweden. And this graphite deposit is unique in a form that we have applied a process which can extract graphene in one step out of this graphite. So with this process we will revolutionize the graphene market because we get the prices for graphene down by a cost of 1000, factor 1000. So instead of having graphene for 50 or 100 dollars a gram, you will get a kilo for the same price in the future. That's excellent. So basically we have a lot of graphene companies here that produce graphene inks and graphene materials and so they'll be coming to you to buy the graphene. We will get all the other out of business. That's fantastic. So what do you think are the opportunities in the future for graphene and where the market is going? Actually we're talking already to very big companies, big industrial players which have not done anything really on the graphene side just because the costs are so prohibitive expensive. So there are no real big products out in the market. But this will be changed because we enable these customers, I cannot disclose the names, but these are really big steel plastics companies which if they get the material at that cost level we can produce it, they are able to get material out such as for instance polymer compounds, coatings, conductive inks, although conductive ink is a small market but if you look on paintings, coatings, enforced plastics or it can even go into steel or in glass and so this is really the game changer in the graphene business. Dr. Harkweimer, when I go around and talk to some of our graphene exhibitors and some of the attendees here that are involved with graphene, I hear a lot that it's still pretty much in the research and development stage. Do you see that market moving more rapidly now? Look I think it will move when the first guys and we think we are the first guys who really can ship product that I can come to you and say look here you have five kilos of graphene. Right. Start test it. Yeah fantastic. Because I can ship you tomorrow two tons. Right. And go around and look where you can buy two tons. It's not there. That's great. Dr. Harkweimer, this is the first time that you guys have exhibited and attended our conferences, our emerging technologies event, our IED TechEx show here in Berlin 2015. How are you finding the event compared to this? Very good. I think especially the attendees are quite interesting. I have met a couple of very interesting industrial guys which have an eye on this absolutely and we have just spoken to a big German chemical company and they said actually they stopped all graphene research because the material was not available at reasonable prices and now with coming up with a source which provides it at a fraction of the current cost this may change the idea. Dr. Harkweimer, I really appreciate your time today. Thank you very much for that and I hope you have a great event. Thank you. See you.
