From London, England, extracting the signal from the noise. It's theCUBE, Cover, Discover 2015. Brought to you by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live in London. This is Silicon Angles, theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante. Our next guest is Martin. We show the SPP and General Manager, the Analyst and Data Management practice at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE. That's the new HPE, go to hp.com. Martin, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you for having me here. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. So, very impressive to hear all the transformations.  Which means the lead executive around the key stakeholder area around empowering your enterprise with data-driven solutions. Organization, yes. I should know that better. I should have that right. But essentially, that's a big pillar. There's a lot of stuff underneath it. As well as leading the customer solution-oriented stuff around bringing all the HPE together. Together. Telling the story versus, not product speeds and feeds, but solutions. Absolutely. Can you share with us some of the high-level market forces that are driving this? Because is it just similar that they want simplification? Because there's one simplified story. Simplified delivery. Or tell us the main forces. So, you have heard about the concept of the idea economy, right? And why we have the four transformation themes. And at the end of the day, it's about disrupting or being disrupted. And data plays an essential role. I mean, you can see this with the startup, the unicorns that have data at the core, right? And the traditional companies have to think about how they're utilizing those assets. If you think about 90% of the data has been generated in the last, you know, two years, and there is no ending of this exponential growth. And we call this the data-driven organization. And you could say, hey Martin, this is not a new concept, right? We talked about the data-driven organization 20 years ago, right? We started and we have elected deliberately to call it the data-driven organization because what we could do 20 years ago or two years ago with the technology was something different than what we can do today. So think about where the exponential growth of data is. That's in the machine data, it's in the human data, next to the business data. And mining and harnessing all of this data to say, how can you disrupt the business? That's the name of the game of the idea economy. And we call it, go quickly from idea to insight to outcomes. And let me touch on this for a minute. Somehow, you know, organizations are not shy of ideas. But to say, how do I get to insight and prove whether there is a value in this idea and whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, right? That's the name of the game to go really, really fast from the idea to the insight. And this is something big companies have to build the muscle on, right? Because data-driven organization and startups having this at their core are pretty good in doing this. Bigger companies- Well, it takes away the fear of execution failure. Absolutely. And that's the big problem that's always been, well, slow down, great idea, but, you know. Exactly, and I'm a German. You know, failure normally in our DNA is not an option, but actually it is. If you go to Silicon Valley, this is how you build businesses and failing fast is something good if you have not invested a ton of money in order to say something good. So go quickly from idea to insight and say, is that a good idea or is it not a good idea? But then also go from insight to operation. It's not about empowering the 10 data scientists in a Fortune 50 company. What are you gaining if you're really empowering those people? But empowering, you know, the customer care person, the clerk in a shop making better decision, interacting better with your customers, right? This is how you operationalize the inside. So that's interesting, to be agile and iterating is kind of the failure, kind of catchphrase. And if I may, I love the data-driven organization because the big flip is, years ago, it was data is this mess that I have to manage and now it's an opportunity, so. Yeah, so agile and iterating, is you're iterating through failure, but it's experiments to a pretext of operational scale. Absolutely. So this is a nuance here, right? So failure at scale is not an option. Yeah, exactly. Failure in an experimental, how do you take 10 data scientists, learn machine learning, roll out. What could you do and then bring? Can you explain the difference there? Because that's the nuance that customers are now buying into. Yes. They're saying, okay, as long as I'm in Sandbox or Agile DevOps. Yes. But then scaling it to operational capacity. Yes. Talk about the difference between the two. So the difference is really, I mean, if you think about scaling, it's all about zero downtime, right? It needs to work 24 by seven and so on. Testing is a total different DNA. So you're absolutely right, you need to split posts to say there is a selected group of people and you need to bring them together from all sorts and forms from the organization. So it's not only the CIO, it's not only the line of business. And I give you examples, like I'm a German so I love automotive. So if you and I, we bring our car to a dealership, we explain something, right? I hear a strange noise in the car on the right-hand side. This is valuable information, right? And how do you mine this kind of information feed it back to the corporation to say, is that a systematic error of cars and how do I handle those? So from the first testing, is that a good idea to mine service records and how can I do this with technology like linguistic analytics and then scale it across so that every dealer and the corporation can detect failures faster? Those are the two kinds of always. So I got to ask you the other hard question which always comes up over the years. You're talking about innovation. Yes. DevOps, Agile, new mindset, the idea economy. You know, when I first heard Meg's speech and the around it was the Uber example, the Airbnb. You could be the next Google or Facebook to sell the dream, right? But that dream is really about how you can create new disruptions, create value. Yes. Great.  So organic growth feels good, entrepreneurial, entrepreneurship as they call it. But now the reality is I got to have some compliance. I'm at big enterprise. I'm operating in Germany. Not in Germany. I got Ireland, I'm in the EU. I got India. I got King, Doc Frank. And so on. Just sovereignty issues, just compliance. So data management, which is your wheelhouse. How do you balance the two? Cause one is could be like top down. No, wait a minute restrictions. One's empowering. So how do you meet in the middle? What is enterprise's best practice for moving fast without breaking anything? Yes. You know what I'm saying? So what we have seen working at our customers and we help our customers is to create those sandbox environments. And for example, governance people as a best practice are good. I mean, if they want to drive the business and they are business minded, they will help you to say, where is the no go? And what do we need to implement versus what we can do? And for example, privacy law do differ vastly across certain regions and even countries. You talked about Germany. So the best practice is really to bring them all at a table in this fail fast approach to say, what can you do and what should you not do? And you're absolutely right. There is even the second element of bringing more and more data to the people. If you think about the millennials, my 24 year old cousin does not have any sympathy that he's not coming into a large enterprise and he doesn't have business data available at his fingertips, right? I mean, he's used of search and the internet and it's so easy and we need to implement exactly the same in organizations which then come with the governance start restriction, just having data lakes and critical information. What are you going to do if everybody has access to financial information one day prior of your earnings release, right? And so those kinds of things do not work. So best practice is to have the governance and the privacy people at the table being business minded to say, what can we do and what can we not do? And then implement the rules around it. So in your practice Martin, are you being brought in to help organizations become data-driven or are you helping data-driven organizations go one step further? Talk about that a little bit. Both, because you see the maturity and the appetite of organizations are vastly different. So there are organizations who have a clear call to action and you have a CEO mandate to really go fast and quick and then there are companies who are doing this more sensible. So we're seeing both and actually, it's not only my organization, but HP overall. And you will see that we're working with companies like BlaBlaCar, you will hear about this tomorrow. I don't want to steal the thunder, which is a true startup, right? To Uber, which is a unicorn, right? To Facebook, which is one of the most admired companies and our Fortune 50 companies. And they're all in various states and have different types of priorities, how fast they want to go. And if we're talking about operationalizing analytics and data, you need to also change how you do business. If you think about big companies that are not necessarily data companies like Facebook, they have manufacturing and so on, they have existing processes, right? And we've built applications around business processes for efficiency. Data is not necessarily the same concept. Data should not necessarily follow an existing business process. So you want to create a different environment, again, where people can test those ideas, what you can do differently, but then bring it back to the business process of how do you extract those kinds of information? So that's the name of the game. And this is what you're talking about before. You don't want to just enable a few data scientists. To me, that's decision support all over again. You've got a couple of analysts who have all the power. But they can't diffuse it throughout the organization. So operationalizing analytics is critical. So I wonder if you could talk about maybe how you're doing that, maybe even some examples. I mean, you've got all these data sources coming into my cloud or my data lake or whatever it is. I've got a data quality problem. I've got a transfer, ETL issue. Or however direction you want to go there. And then I want to embed those analytics into the citizens of the company. So that's sort of the nirvana. Is it happening today? Maybe some examples. How are you actually achieving that? So if we have a customer discussion, we have identified three areas how we help our customers the best. One is discover the value of your data. The second is build a data-centric foundation. And the last one is superior business outcome of a horizontal or specific vertical problem. It's more like a pre-packaged solution. I talked in the beginning a little bit about discover the value of your data, right? We bring technology together to our customers. You know, our purpose-built infrastructure. For example, if you want to do streaming analytics, we bring high-performance compute to you. We can do this in the cloud, in a private cloud. But some of our customers are saying they want to have it on-premise and then we ship everything on-premise. The first part is discover the value of your data, this fail fast and test very fast approach. Because again, companies need to build this muscle to say, I just want a test, but I'm not investing 100 million any longer in terms of testing an idea, right? So we bring everything to the customer in terms of how to do this or help our customers to do this repeatedly by themselves. We're building up data labs, digital labs and so on with our customers. So the three things were discover the value of the data. The second one was? Build your data-centric foundation. So here it's about the right infrastructure and compute power for your workloads. Because not every workload is equal, right? You go from low storage to high-performance compute and streaming analytics. Also our customers have existing legacy environments. If you're an SAP customer, you go for sure on SAP HANA, right? If you're not an SAP customer, you might select a total different environment. So how to help our customers to build the right infrastructure to not follow necessarily the business process but rather the data, the fluid data to say where is your hot and your cold data? Where should it reside? Because very often customers are also struggling with putting the workloads in the environments they have already in the DB2 or wherever. And that is not necessarily the right environment. So help our customers to build the right foundation to manage data. And the third one was? You know, superior business outcomes on pre-packaged solutions because there is a set of horizontal and vertical solutions that the entire industry are struggling with. And obviously we put them together. And not only we as HPE but also with our partners. For example, with FICO to do stress testing for the financial industry where we bring all of the compute power in order to have algorithms being run at the data and not move petabytes of data somewhere else. And FICO was all of their intelligence of being in the financial industry and doing stress testing for years. And you combine this all of a sudden financial industries can do stress testing in minutes rather than in days which is obviously extremely important to test new products before you bring them to market. I think you're really right on the money. Those three things are very powerful and very relevant. So, you know, I would give you a props on that. A little, a lot of stuff going on in those three things I just want to unpack that you mentioned it. Which is really important. I think you're right on the money. It's really critical. Pre-packaged applications. That's the apps that people want, the built-in security. That's what Sue was talking about. Also, there's also domain expertise within the app itself, right? But then the horizontal piece you mentioned on the foundation thing is important because you don't want data silos. It's the killer, it's the toxic problem. Silo data. It's an old way to do it. I mean, you got to have some data movement across in some sort of horizontally way. So, is that really the core thing? I mean, talk about what you're seeing in that area because this is a really interesting thing. They're not usually exclusive, right? I mean, you can mix and match that in any different ways. And again, it depends on the appetite of the customer. There are customers who want to set themselves up for the future in a different way. So, they start thinking about the foundation in a different way than a customer who wants to go in smaller pieces. And, but we help them to say, if you want to transform your business at a certain point of time, you need to do things differently. And how does that match to a step that you go in the future? So, on the foundation, to say, how do you have this fluid data level and foundation that does not necessarily follow your application and your business processes, but not every customer has immediately the appetite in order to go there. So, we help our customers to build a roadmap to say, keep that in mind. But very often, customers still want to do baby steps first, because you don't necessarily have the appetite. You don't want to over rotate and go ahead of your skis, if you will. And you need successes. So, very often, we help our customers to show the first successes. Here's a successful project where we were able to go from an idea to insight to operationalizing and then the company is getting more appetite to do this repeatedly.  And it goes hand in hand, obviously, with the cloud efforts, right? I mean, this is why you're going into the cloud. And that's the problem with the cloud. They get ahead of themselves. They try to bite off more than they can chew. Yes, absolutely. So, in your experience, however we want to define it subjectively, what percent of customers that you talk to visit, prospects, customers are data-driven, truly data-driven? Truly data-driven are, at this point of time, the data companies, honestly. And this is a little bit like the North Star for the other companies to say, if you are taking data very seriously, this is the way how you connect. Now, those data companies, most of the times have the luxury that they don't have physical supply chain in the back, right? They don't have the legacy baggage and so on, right? On the other side. The cloud-driven companies like Airbnb, Uber, you know. Exactly. But on the other side, you know, more traditional companies have the advantage of scale, the customer intimacy, right?  They should know a lot about me and about my preferences and so on. So, you can build this differently. So, come back to your question. Truly data-driven are the data-driven organization. If you were to ask my gut feeling, I would say there are 20% of the company really moving with a brutal force in terms of we need to do something different. Other companies are all testing, right? One of the questions that I have and ask and start a discussion like this is where do you test your ideas? And then you get very fast into a discussion whether companies are taking it very serious to test the new ideas, right? From idea to insight. If you don't have anything institutionalized, I think, you know, those companies need some help in order to get those kinds of ideas. That's how I ask. Final question. What's the show like here? Give some, share some insight into the, we all know it's the first day so we could ask you what the bumper sticker is. But it's not over yet. But what's the early view? I mean, you've been here in the ground planning with the other execs and the management team at HB. What's the main story from your standpoint here at the show? Share with the folks that are watching the event here. So I think you can see the transformation areas come to life. And I know you were in Las Vegas where we announced the transformation areas. And you know, I think here we are now really showing we're a Hewlett Packard enterprise and we take it very serious to help our customers in the idea economy to go in this direction. And it takes all the four pillars, right? I mean, we thought about it. And it's not like, you know, the cloud security, mobility and big data, how we called it in the past would not work together. And I think here you can start seeing how this all comes together to help our customers. Martin Riesau, senior vice president and channel manager. Thank you for all the data and the insights here on theCUBE. Superior outcome interview segment here. Thank you very much for sharing the great insights here on being data-driven here at HP Discover London. This is theCUBE. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We'll be right back after this short break. Thank you very much.


This study examined the microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties of a refractory high-entropy superalloy, almost 0.5 Nbeta 0.5 Tzr. The alloy consisted of two distinct phases, one consisting of cuboidal nanoprecipidates aligned in rows along less than 100 type directions, and another consisting of channels between these precipitates. These phases were found to be coherent and have the same crystallographic orientation within the former grains. The alloy's yield strength was superior to that of nickel-based superalloys at temperatures ranging from 20 degrees celsius to 1200 degrees celsius. This article was authored by Oleg N. Senkov, Dieter Ishim, David N. Seidman, and others.


Red Lake Nation has officially sworn in their next leaders. Reporter Cheryl Moore is live tonight in our studio with a look at this morning's ceremony. Cheryl. Thank you Dennis. Newly re-elected Red Lake travel chairman Daryl G. Seeky senior tells Lakeland News this was by far the toughest election he's ever faced but now he's thinking positive and looking towards the future. The election was competitive and long but the people at Red Lake have spoken and they have chosen this group to lead them into the next four years. I'm glad it's over now it's starting to heal the nation and my family. Chairman Seeky senior was re-elected to another term as tribal chairman. Also re-elected was tribal treasurer Annette Johnson. Samuel R. Strong is a new face to the board. Strong will service tribal secretary and hopes to bring the voice of the youth to the table. I think that's the most exciting part about politics is that we have a chance to really shape our communities. Looking at the next four years the team hopes to continue some of the initiatives that were already started. My goal I guess is to hope to continue what we started as well as to make more progress in areas such as our drug and alcohol epidemic. Continue the solar initiative we're doing so we're finally because at the end of five years six years it's going to benefit the community. There are also a few new policies the board hopes to enact one day such as finding better ways to communicate and starting new programs for the youth and the elders. Making sure that we keep our way of life alive that we look towards the future. I talked about enrollment being a major issue I'd like to address during my four years. We have to keep in mind that as Indigenous people or Anishinaabe people that we have the future generations to look out for namely our youth as well as we can't forget our elders they actually have instilled in us who we are today. And to help with communication Seeky Senior has plans to start a Facebook page for himself as chairman to help clear up some misconceptions. Also everyone on the board says they're looking forward to working together as a team. Dennis back to you. All right thank you very much Sherelle for that live report tonight from our studio here in Bemidji. Other positions which were sworn in today include the Red Lake Ponema Red Bee and Little Rock representatives.

ンモl liberties and welcome everybody. Stephen has about me asking me to set the scene here and just give context as to what we've asked. To give a bit of background on COP21, some of you may be included in the information updates we were giving you around COP21 and what we found happened and the outputs from there. I have a few slides you can follow. But what I wanted to do is really break down COP21. Rheid�이 gan ei wneud o'r bif Hispanican yn yma, ond ond mae'r Gwysigol yn ffodol ar gyfer hyn bys. Mae'n gweithio'r Gwysigol yn ein hynod. Mae'n maen i'r gyw fy modd a llwylock Trust Plyniadol.

Mae'r cyfrifol yw'r cyfrifol. yn y chincol ar y context cyŵir. That's all about what's going on in China. That they agree that they need to be growing and continue to grow. And why should they be penalised in the same level that we've grown on a fossil fuel trajectory? They want that exposure as well. So that's to peak as soon as possible but by 2030 at the latest. But what do we see coming out of COP 21 and what can we expect. It's what the box at the bottom there is really talking about. I'm only going to focus on a couple of those areas. The first one about regulation. Rwy'n ei ddweud y gwaith. Rhaid i ni ddatblygu hynny sydd yn fawr o'r cyfnodol, ac rhaid i ni i ddim yn fawr. Rhyw i ni ddim yn bwysig o gwaith y broses, o'r llwysgrifatau ar y dyfodol. Fy gydigon ni'n gweld Mark Carney gyda'r Bank of England, efallai ei ddysgu'r lleol a'r cyfnodd.

I think the first point there, that there has been a global agreement, That's the most foundation point that we actually got, consensus that climate change is happening and that the world needs to move forward with that acknowledgement. On this page I think it's really important rather than just talking about a high level are, actually to see what does that actually mean? What does that actually mean that we've got to focus on? A dyna gweld i amser hynny oedd yn y 4 enyw ymdweithgau cyfnodd. Y cyfnodd sydd gennym.

Mae'n gweithio'r unig o'r holl, o'r holl o'r holl, o'r holl o'r holl sy'n gynyddu cyfnod yn gwahodol yn gwahanol. That's a phenomenal amount of money. This is on the back of an agreement that we will live in a carbon neutral world. When we join the two together there's quite a compelling story. You start talking there about some of the solutions, you start talking about storage, you start talking about awkward solutions. That side of things, that's where it gets really interesting. I'd like to talk for hours about that, but we haven't got time today. I've been told by Stephen. Mobilising finance, that's really the area that we're interested with Sean today. What mechanisms are there? fe hop delightful to help us to mobilize finance and to work in this area I think importantly, at the back of COP21 The confidence of investors has improved enormously Government se setting a vision Investors are driving that with them So what we are seeing there is a lot of movement around responsible investment around reputation attached to this sort of investment and various bits of traction there We are seeing divestment from fossil fuels because that's still only a drop in the ocean, but it's getting a lot of publicity and it's something that people are finding interesting. I think it's important also and we'll come on to that shortly, but to think not just about private finance, when we talk about finance, but to think of the public money that's also available. So a large part of COP21 and what came out of that was actually the public finance that's needed to support developing countries in moving in a low carbon trajectory. So that we must consider that element as well and how that can be used to support ..to support and harness more finance for other areas... ..from the private sector. I'll skip through this one, really. How do we train people up to understand what we're talking about? How do we make sure that those in poor countries, small companies... ..whatever it might be, how do they understand this agenda? And how can they leapfrog from an existing position... ..via the fossil fuel world and straight into a low carbon pathway? That's an interesting discussion and certainly capacity building something that Ireland would be good at and have contacts with and have the knowledge base here to be able to share that globally. And finally the accounting and reporting. So the accountability side is who's responsible for these emissions and who's responsible for this journey that we're taking. How do we report on that and then I know Sean will talk a little bit about verifying that and making sure that this is being reported and recorded correctly. Countries at a country level from COP 21 will need to report back on their progress against targets on a five year basis. So they as a country themselves aren't going to achieve that. It's going to be the responsibility of business to help them meet those targets. And it's pulling those elements together and making sure that it's very clearly reported. So what we've done there is kind of set the scene on COP 21. What did that achieve? Then we go down and we talk about OK well so what does that actually mean for business. And there's the finance element comes in there. What I wanted to talk about here really are the contents of the finance elements. So what you'll see here is I tend to break it down into project, market and public funding. Those are the ones that spring to mind for me that are most relevant after COP 21. When I talk about project I mean asset based finance and investment. So this is where your investors come in. This is where they're getting interested and included in the new technology market. That's what we're talking about here. Green bonds is becoming an increasingly important element of that market. It's becoming a finance mechanism for supporting growth in new technology. But alongside that unless a mechanism but actually more a sentiment or a policy is around the ESG market. And how institutional and responsible investors are expecting corporates or businesses to portray that they're doing this in a more holistic way and more considering non financial elements in the way they do business. The market based area I'm just going to talk very briefly about emissions trading scheme. That's something that's becoming more and more interesting for both countries and corporates. So how are you going to start trading credits on carbon internally within countries or externally within different markets. But also an interesting element is what companies are doing with an internal market for trading in terms of carbon credits internally. You'd normally seen that in large mining companies or within large institutions that are operating globally with various kind of decentralised business units. And finally the public funding element there is what I talked about briefly there around the public money and how that can be used to support private projects in risky areas. So the green climate fund was set up a number of years ago. The idea, the concept for the green climate fund was set up a number of years ago and that has been reinforced at COP21 this year. There will be a pool of money $100 billion per year from 2020 provided from developed countries to developing countries to help them progress and develop in a low carbon way. So that's another interesting point. But what I really want to do is set the scene for Sean to come and give you all his knowledge and to give you a bit of background and some of the really easy high level points on green bonds and you can ask Sean all the awkward questions. What is a green bond? A green bond is the same as any other bond. It operates in the same way but it's for raising capital, for environmental, for projects with environmental and social benefits. That's the only fundamental difference attached to that. All various benefits and drawbacks that are attached to that and you can see those towards the bottom of the page. Commonly and traditionally but we might see this evolve and Sean can talk about that is that the projects are normally around large scale renewable energy efficiency forestry or transport projects that you see out there but perhaps we can talk about grouping some of the more innovative solutions together into a package and providing bonds in that sense. But it's become increasingly popular around institutional investors. Also corporates to a lower extent but I think the movement really is institutional investors at this point. Should we label a bond green? That's a question we often get. Why would we choose to label it green? And some of the benefits there are investors are interested in it. It's something that reputationally differentiates it from other forms of bond and it's a subject that's become more and more important, especially post cop 21. They're often oversubscribed. Sean will be able to talk about that and the volume that there's been more recently. It's good for your reputation for corporate reputation or investor reputation. It takes a few of those boxes but drawbacks may be around the reporting. It does require a little more scrutiny around where the money is going and alignment to certain criteria that you must meet which make it slightly different for yourselves compared to a traditional bond. And then how do you define it? Sean will again be able to talk about this because its principles and standards are being developed in the marketplace that allow you to follow those and to label it as a green bond. We then at KPMG can come and do external independent verification of those bonds and in speaking to Sean earlier he said actually we often don't look twice if a company has issued a green bond and it hasn't been externally verified by an independent party. So that's something you can ask Sean about or ourselves about in the future but really just to open the floor to Sean after a really brief jump through those hoops. But thank you very much.


Welcome to this ELC self-study video. Today we'll be looking at how to write conclusions and recommendations for a report. Now comes the part where we demonstrate our insight. We need to show our lecturer that we understand the information we have gathered. The conclusions and recommendations sections are where we show our own interpretation of the material. The conclusions section shows our summary and interpretation of the information. The recommendations section shows what needs to be done as a result. The first part we'll look at is the conclusions section. This is where we'll outline everything that the data has told us. What does the data tell us about our topic? For example, our previous examples show that people who know the consequences of recycling are more likely to do it. Therefore, our conclusion could be that education could provide a useful tool in increasing the likelihood that people will recycle. This will also help to focus our conclusions on the issues raised in the first parts of the report. We can use the conclusion to address each issue and bring the whole report together. Remember, we don't put any new information in the conclusion. We're just summarizing and interpreting the information we already have. We need to show how the information we've presented affects the aims from our introduction. During this part, we can use a wide variety of language styles. This is one of the parts where we really put our own mark on our work. We still need to keep to an academic style, but we can give it our own voice. Next, we come to the recommendations section. This does exactly what it says. This is where we tell the reader what we recommend. Not only what does the data tell us, but what doesn't it tell us? For example, since all measures were based on self-reporting and respondents could choose whether to provide the responses, social desirability bias might exist in the results, particularly when recycling is commonly promoted and encouraged as a socially desired behavior to protect the environment. This would show the reader that we understand the information that has been given to us. It's also that we know our work is not perfect and can help to inspire future researchers to find out more. There's always more to learn. It's also a good idea to get together with some classmates and check each other's work. Since we are the ones who wrote the assignment, we may not notice our own mistakes. It will be much easier for our classmates to spot them, so it's always a good idea to get someone else to check your work before you submit it. Proofreading someone else's work is a really great way to learn. Explaining things to someone else is also one of the best ways to remember something later on. So it's also one of the best ways to study for exams. And that's it.


Hi guys, welcome to my birthday vlog. So right now I'm getting ready because I have a hair appointment. I wanted to tell you guys this story because I just find it to be like just perfect timing.  I always hate that feeling and since I'm getting my face framing piece touched up today I intentionally made my birthday dinner today. So I could have like another uh so I could have a place to go and like show off my hair you know what I mean because you spend a lot of money and then they style it and stuff.  Well that is going to be different today because I intentionally made my birthday the day I'm getting my hair done. Also I wanted to say I'm so bad at multitasking sorry guys. I also wanted to say I already did my eyebrows as you can maybe kind of tell and I was praying to the makeup gods that my brows wouldn't give me a problem and they would like turn out well because the reason why I start with my eyebrows altogether is because they're just so hard to do. I find them to be a very challenging part of makeup doing. I'm almost out of my NARS foundation so I'm going to need to get some more of this pretty soon.  The whole process of trying to do the eyebrows talk and make sure they turn out looking good is just so hard. So luckily the makeup gods I think heard me and they turned out in my opinion very very well and now I'm praying also to that everything else turns out well just because again like I also want to get a new profile picture like I love I don't know why you know those photos that you just like love over yourself and I know it sounds kind of narcissistic the profile picture I have now like I love it and the funny thing is I wasn't even like really taking photos thinking I was gonna get a profile picture that day like I just like the way I looked and I was like oh I'm gonna take photos but if I ever have like an intention to take like photos to get a new profile picture they never really turn out good I mean they turn out good but not for a profile picture you know what I mean so it's kind of a goal but if I said it as a goal that it might not happen so I should have said it as a goal today so if I don't get a profile picture I know I'll get other good pictures today for like you know Instagram and stuff like that but still it'd be nice if it like a good profile picture came I mean the eyebrow gods like really helped to grow out today so I'm I have the faith that today is going to be good for photos makeup etc because you know if the brows hit it anything can and obviously too I do touch up my brows like when I would normally do my brows in this process like I do touch them up but I need to have a good like basis of what they're gonna look like you know what I mean kind of loading on the foundation cuz it's gonna be on for a while so that's why I'm just doing a little extra and it's fun so okay so this is how the makeup turned out I absolutely love it I couldn't be more happy I'm gonna do my lips a little later but yeah this is what it looks like and I just made a little bit more bold but it's still like my normal Alex look and so yeah I couldn't be more happy the makeup gods were in my favor and it could be more grateful because you guys know it's just too stressful too stressful man sometimes it's just really hard to get my eyes even and anyway that's a whole nother topic story for another day probably gonna have my like regular lunch ish we're all out of celery so I think I'm gonna have like some cucumber instead I don't know but I'm gonna eat then I'm gonna hit up Starbucks to take to like my hair appointment and stuff but yeah also I filmed a tiktok it's like the line from mean girls where she's like but I'm always on your left and then she's and then Regina says and you're getting on my last nerve so switch and like I'm gonna have like my hair transformation and stuff so I think that'll be a good tiktok I haven't posted like a you know like a transformation one in a while and like I like doing them they're really fun hopefully my transition works out okay so just ordered the Starbucks I'm gonna get there probably like right at noon so hopefully it's okay I shall make it in time I didn't realize like how soon noon was I'm so I don't know I guess my concept of time is not very good but they're all out of chai tea at the closest one to my house like the Starbucks so I ended up going with the espresso drink because I like that one so it's okay whatever I like all fall and technically winter to get my favorite fall drink so no need to worry your fret I was thinking too oh my gosh so you know how this evening is kind of like one of those things like I set out goals to like make during 2022 like be more social and stuff and it's so funny cuz like yes I'm looking forward tonight but I'm also like kind of nervous cuz like there's so many people man like I hope that everyone gets along oh my god this red light is killing me it's like only stays green for like a couple minutes like a couple seconds I should say it's so annoying but I'm like nervous cuz like all these people like are I mean I know everyone from like a different you know situation event in my life I guess and it's just kind of weird so I am kind of nervous but it's something I want to do and like something to say I've done which is gonna be kind of cool but still like I'm still kind of nervous and I am looking forward to it but it's also like especially like with other people's things I'm like I'm like half looking forward to it half not like I feel the same way but it's like for my own party that I like I plan and stuff so I don't know it's weird it's a weird feeling but I'm going to get the drink and then like hurry hurry hurry to my hair appointment got the Starbucks looking good looking good and now I have to hurry to the appointment alright so I'm in it to Jasmine's and Bo is here look at how cute he is he just like jumped on my lap and then I accidentally like pushed him off because I was trying to get my phone that is a true story right Bo right yep isn't he just like such a vibe like so cute but today we are doing face framing pieces and then I'm gonna get a little trim I think and then and she's like gonna blow out and style it I'm so excited so excited but guys this is the real reason why you come to Jasmine I love her dog her dog does not shed or anything and Bo is just so lovable look at this look at this I can't so we got the foils all in right now and now we're just putting some heat on it to help speed the process he wanted to join the party of you always want to party alright so what obviously still in process but look how light it got over just like a short amount of time like that's crazy oh my gosh so good look at that shade just wait till it's dried alright so this is what it's looking like and it's exactly what I wanted because you know there's some people I won't like putting pictures well maybe I'll put like a picture like on the side of like just some Google image but like sometimes it's like a block of hair and then like the money piece but this is like natural and gradual and it just yes yes it's so good okay so this is it straight like look how good it looks a holy cow oh so good so good okay so I made it I was like rushing to get here but this is my outfit and I don't know how much footage I'm gonna get to be honest like I'm just kind of like frazzled right now so anyway I love the way my hair turned out so cute and I did finish the tiktok so you know what that goal is achieved didn't really get to take pictures which is fine so good you said thank you okay guys obviously it's the next day and I am at our new place we got some stuff that we're unloading from the car sherry she's carrying some toilet paper holders we got our flifters and then toilet paper paper towels we also got some floor mats and also as you guys can see we got our new refrigerator how exciting you guys already saw us like purchase this when we went that one day to Lowe's but it's all installed and already getting chilled alright guys we're setting up what are we setting up the toilet paper carry got this lifter working and now she's gonna test it out I don't think it's doing anything it's coming out the bottom the other she's just like spit out there yeah in the front oh it's coming out of these little things right there can you see it yeah okay I can't see it yeah close I didn't want to do it out there in case it was a problem all right guys I'm in line at McDonald's because well I had a salad in Turkey for lunch and my parents already ate or whatever like they don't they're not hungry so yeah I just decided to come here got the medium though because I think we're going to munchies so yeah it's fine yeah I'm just waiting up for my meal I took a new profile picture and it is my new profile picture here too so if you follow me on Instagram or obviously you watch my channel here I took another profile picture it looks almost exactly like my other profile picture I'm even wearing the same top because I love that profile picture so much like I don't know what it is about it but I just like my positioning my body like my hair and stuff so I wanted to retake it I would have just kept the other profile picture but I didn't because I wanted one with my updated hair even though I don't know if you guys can even tell maybe not but wanted one with the updated hair also I wanted one that didn't have anything in the background like I wanted solid I had all this stuff on my wall which as you guys know we're moving so I have to take it down anyway so I had not that I don't like the pictures but like in that photo it just made it look sloppy because that day I wasn't even thinking about making a profile picture you know what I'm saying so I just really liked how that picture turned out so I tried to recreate it I think I did a pretty good job I like my makeup as well because my old one I didn't like do eyebrows or lips or anything so anyway I just wanted it like updated but still the same picture so anyway I really wish that there was like a little bit more shadow cast like the diagonal because I really really like that but it's fine like it's not the end of the world I like the picture that I got so and I don't really know why I'm telling you this but feel like I you know needed to tell you guys about the profile picture dilemma but I do think if you look closely at the profile picture there is some level of like variation in the wall you know it's fine it's just like I really liked the old one how it was very like it's a very stark contrast like you can see the shadow I don't know also too I think I'm going to try to edit this video tonight I am pretty tired but I want to like edit it and post it I think that'll be fun and it'll be a little bit out of order because my week in my life video will go up after this because it's like oh sorry thank you you too I really want to get this video up because I think it's like super fun so yeah as you can see and heard I got the McDonald's here and yeah and here are my nuggets and fries


y Government, uncharacteristically generous, if I may say, because when I checked back that fine newspaper of the courier, I read this report. The Scottish Government has earmarked £150 million to establish a Scottish investment bank. First Minister Alex Salmond said yesterday at the STUC conference. That is a report, Presiding Officer, not from 2013 but from the 22 April 2009. Eight years ago, Presiding Officer, it is finally being taken forward. I hope that progress is faster than on some other much-vaunted Scottish Government initiatives. Last year at this time, the First Minister announced the creation of a Scottish growth fund, a £500 million boost to Scottish business, £0.5 billion to be invested in the Scottish economy. Here we are, 12 months later, how much has been paid out of those £0.5 billion, not one penny, to support the Scottish economy? This is a Government that must do better. They have also told us that they will take forward the recommendations of the Barclay review, and we will be hearing more about this from the finance secretary next week. However, it is not interesting that, out of the headline proposals from the Barclay review, two of them, in relation to reducing the level of the large business supplement back to the UK rate and reintroducing a tax break for new premises that lie empty, are simply reverting the policy choices made by the previous finance secretary, which have now been shown to be serious errors. This is an SNP Government having to spend their time moping up their previous mistakes. Presiding Officer, where is the money to be raised from to pay for this? If the Scottish Government follows the Barclay review recommendations, it will come from charging charitable bodies who currently provide sports and leisure facilities. Sports clubs, local authorities swimming pools, leisure centres and gyms will all be hit with rates bills, meaning that they will have to put up their charges for those who want to swim or exercise. How will that square us with Scottish Government policy by encouraging more active lifestyles and tackling obesity is lost on me? Rather than addressing those concerns, what we were treated to yesterday from the economy secretary was a bizarre rant in which he claimed in a speech laden with errors that no one in the Conservative Party had acknowledged the opening of the Queensferry crossing. I do not know where he was on Monday, but he must have missed all the pictures and comments from all of us who were privileged to be there at the opening of the crossing. He must not have been listening to my colleague Jackson Carlaw's speech on Tuesday, when I think for three minutes he talked about the Queensferry crossing and his own contribution to that process as the chair of the parliamentary committee, because, Presiding Officer, they only hear what they want to. The Queensferry crossing was not the only engineering marvel from Fife this summer, because there was, of course, in addition to the Queensferry crossing, the magnificent new aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth. Where was the Scottish Government press release? Where were the tweets? Where were the selfies taken by the workers at Recife on Ungovernment? Not I peep could be held from the Scottish Government. The First Minister only acknowledged the aircraft carrier when I shamed her into it at First Minister's questions before the recess. That is the difference between the Scottish Government and the Conservative opposition, because we on these benches celebrate all Scottish successes on the Government benches. They only celebrate those who are stamped with the letters SMP. Rather than me judging the SMP's programme in the economy, let's look at what businesses themselves are saying. Both the Scottish Retail Consortium and the Federation of Small Business have raised concerns about what is being proposed on a deposit return scheme, saying that it lacks a detailed impact assessment on business. They are concerned about progress on provision of superfast broadband, but their greatest concern is about what is proposed from income tax, where there is a clear hint from the First Minister that the SMP is about to create even greater tax differentials between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Nothing could be more damaging to growing our economy by making Scotland the highest tax part of the United Kingdom. To sum up, there are aspects of the programme that we can support, but too much of it is simply focusing on the wrong priorities. Whether it is stopping sending serious offenders to jail, as Liam Kerr said, or whether it is hiking taxes or dragging their feet on economic reforms, this is an SMP Government heading in the wrong direction. They might think that this programme for government is a relaunch that sets them on the right track, but even nationalist commentators are not convinced by this Government's record. Writing recently in The Guardian, the commentator Kevin McKenna, a supporter of Scottish independence, said this of the SMP Government and I quote, on health, education, taxation and on its attitude to Scotland's hard-pressed SME sector, the SMP had 10 years underpinned by large majorities to reverse generations of decline. They opted instead for an easy life when they could have been bowled, but they blew it. If that is the judgment of nationalist commentators, they can hardly expect us, or indeed the Scottish people, to be more generous in our support. They are a Government that must do better. I call on Michael Matheson to close with the Government. Cabinet Secretary, till 5 o'clock please. I must confess that listening to Murdo Fraser in his closing remarks, starting off with talking about electoral success is not a strong hand for Mr Fraser. Look at my colleague John Swinney. He is a mantle piece where he has more Murdo Fraser's on it than he knows what to do with, given your electro pedigree. I do not think that you are in the best place to give anyone, anyone at all, advice on how they should succeed in elections. On Tuesday, the First Minister set out a bold and ambitious programme for Government. It is a programme that recognises the significant achievements that we have achieved over the past 10 years and which is ambitious for the future of our nation. It is a programme that recognises Scotland's place as an outward-focused, global contributor that is committed to human rights and to protecting the very environment that we cherish and which we live in. Creating that inclusive fair and prosperous society also requires our public sector organisations to play their part in delivering a more socially just Scotland. In the debate this afternoon, with the focus on public services, that is at the very heart of what we want to achieve with this programme for government. During the course of the debate, when my colleague Shona Robison opened the debate, she highlighted some of the challenges that we face within our NHS and there can be no part of our public sector that struggles more with having to face up to the changing nature of our society. Will that be the changes in demographic that we are all aware of alongside with the advances in medicine and in treatment, the way in which we need to change the way in which we deliver NHS healthcare in the future? As Clare Hockey highlighted in her contribution, focusing on our NHS, that is not just about structural reform, that is not just about simply renaming services in one way or another, it is about fundamentally changing the way in which our NHS and our health services are delivered. A key part of what we have taken for as a government has been the integration of health and social care. People talk about the integration of health and social care now and dismiss it as though it is taken as granted. For anyone who has worked within the NHS or within social care, they will know that the integration of health and social care has been the holy grail of trying to make sure that we deliver more effective services to the people of Scotland and across the rest of the UK. We can see, for example, in England and Wales, the way in which they continue to struggle to deliver integrated health and social care, largely undermined by the ever creeping privatisation of the NHS in England and Wales. However, the reality is that we have made major strides in how we integrate our health and social care system here in Scotland, which will deliver real change in the way in which services are delivered to the people who require them. That is an example of reforming and changing the way in which we deliver our health and social care system. As someone who worked in that sector, I know exactly the difference that it is making and how services are being developed today. The First Minister is also in her statement on Tuesday. She set out our ambitious plans for our education system here in Scotland, strengthening our education system by closing her timing gap and setting out radical reforms for education governance, giving headteachers new powers and responsibilities, and, importantly, strengthening the voices of teachers, children and parents at the very heart of our education system. However, a number of members in the course of the debate today in talking about public services made reference to social security, and in particular the creation of the new social security agency here in Scotland. Our social security agency will work very differently from the callous approach of the Conservative Government at Westminster. We will have a social security agency that is based on fairness, dignity and respect, all three of which are missing from the welfare system in England being run by the UK Government. To set out our ambitions compared to that of the UK Government in making sure that it has fairness, dignity and respect in its heart, the first benefit that will be paid from it will be for carers allowance, supporting carers to make sure that they can continue to make the important contribution that they make to our society and to build on that. The first new benefit that it will pay will be the best start grant, helping to support mothers and babies at the very key point when they need some financial support. That sets out our ambition to have a better welfare system here in Scotland, and one that we will ensure that there is dignity to those who have to make use of it. Can I finish this point first? I want to give way to Mr Rumbles. Can I also say that it is difficult to accept or to listen to anybody on the Conservative benches to talk about rough sleepers without acknowledging the callous actions of your own government in London and the damage that it is causing to individuals and communities through the cuts to welfare provision within our society? No MSP! There can be no MSP in this chamber that has not had a constituent in tears at the way in which they are being treated by the welfare system that is being created by the UK Government. Let us not just dismiss the UN report that talks about the humanitarian crisis that has been created by the changes that have been taking place within the UK welfare system. When the Tories come here and start to lecture us about tackling rough sleepers, they should look at themselves in the mirror and recognise the damage that they are causing to people day in, day out by their callous actions in curing welfare provision. I thank the minister for giving way and he has raised some very important points, which I agree with him. However, when the First Minister, in her opening statement, said nothing at all about the rural economy and the problems facing the rural economy, especially with the form business payments throughout rural Scotland, you have a few minutes at least to address that issue because there are a lot of people out there waiting for this issue to be addressed. If the member cares to look at the programme for government, there are a whole range of measures that we are taking forward in order to support our rural communities and our rural economy. We will continue to take forward ambitious plans in order to make sure that we support our rural communities and our rural economy. However, I turn to a couple of the justice issues. The rather bizarre idea that the Conservative Party in some way is the one that comes up with the idea of drug driving tests. The reality is that the drug driving test was actually in the independent North report, which the only part of the UK that is fully implementing it is Scotland in order to make sure that our roads are actually safer. However, I want to turn to the issue around the presumption against short sentences because listening to the Conservative Party times on justice matters is like listening to someone reading out a daily mail editorial. The reality is that we know that short sentences—and the evidence shows that, not just domestically but internationally—short sentences are very ineffective at tackling offending behaviour. What have we got in Scotland? We have got re-offending down to an 18-year low. Why is it down? It is down because we have been increasing the use of community disposals. We want to build on that and use the evidence that demonstrates the real impact that it can have. In doing that, we reduce the risk of someone committing further offences and the risk of someone being a victim of a crime. However, we have also listened to the views of victims. That is why, before we will even change the presumption against any short sentences, we will make sure that all provisions in the domestic abuse bill, with the support of this Parliament, are implemented before there are any changes made to that. I am limited in time, I am afraid, and I want to make further progress. One other piece of legislation that was not mentioned, which I regret, particularly from Alex Cole-Hamilton giving his previous background, is the vulnerable witnesses and pre-recorded evidence bill. That will allow us to increase the provision of pre-recorded evidence. Why is that important? That gives us the opportunity to take children out of our court system. It allows us to make sure that we can fundamentally alter the experience of children who suffer from traumatic abuse and the way in which they engage with their justice system. I had the benefit last week to go to Iceland to see the Barmhust model in action. It is inspirational. We are determined to bring that to Scotland, to reform the way in which our justice system works for our children and our young people and vulnerable witnesses. That legislation will help to support us in achieving that. This is a Government that has a strong track record over the past 10 years. Fundamentally, reforming our public sector, building on the progress that we have made through reforming our laws and in making sure that we build a strong economy here in Scotland, but one that is committed to creating a socially just and a progressive Scotland. This is a programme for government that is ambitious, bold and will take this nation forward over the coming year. Thank you very much, cabinet secretary. That concludes our debate on the Scottish Government's programme for government 2017-18. There are no questions to be put at decision time, so I close this meeting of Parliament.

My name is Erica Resch. I'm 25 years old and I am the co-founder of Breast Intentions. I started Breast Intentions back when I was 15 after my mom was diagnosed with stage 3c breast cancer. And within six months I saw two of my aunts also diagnosed with breast cancer. So I was surrounded by all of this stuff and I wanted to do something to help. My cousin and I were in a tent at 3 a.m. came up with this crazy idea, you know, why don't we just start our own charity? That way we know where the money is going and we can tell other people where the money is going. And that's how Breast Intentions was born. Breast Intentions is a crisis intervention charity and we help women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer either financially or emotionally. We help with everyday things ranging from mortgage payments to electric bills, you know, lymphedema sleeves, wigs if they can't afford wigs, even transportation to and from treatment. Initially we started out, you know, just selling candy at church or soccer games. We started with a black tie gala. We've been able to expand into three other states. Illinois, Massachusetts and New York. We've raised over a million dollars since inception and helped thousands of families and even featured by the Yankees on field. They were able to honor us and provided donations. My mom is completely cured. She's a survivor. I believe it's 10 years coming up on 11 years soon and both my aunts are fine as well. I saw firsthand, you know, if we didn't have great health insurance, it'd be really hard just to manage the day-to-day bills. So I want to be able to help women, you know, focus on getting better rather than if they're going to have a hot shower or putting food on a table. For the future, it might be funny, but I kind of hope breast intentions is put out of business and we don't have to be there and we're not needed. But until then, I hope we can expand to have a footprint in every state and be able to help women, you know, just focus on getting better and we should have a calm state of mind when they're going through treatment so they can really put 110% into beating the disease.


This study used intravital microscopy to observe the effects of in vivo blood flow on the decelularized glomerulus, peritubular capillaries, and tubules after autologous and allogeneic orthotopic transplantation into rats. The results showed that large molecular weight dextran molecules were able to label the vasculature, revealing substantial degrees of translocation from glomerular and peritubular capillary tracts to the decelularized tubular epithelium and lumen as early as 12 hours after transplantation. This process continued for up to one week, resulting in significant damage to the decelularized micro-architecture and thrombosis in both autologous and allogeneic approaches. These findings suggest that in vivo multifoton microscopy is a powerful tool for studying scaffold viability and identifying ways to promote scaffold longevity and vasculogenesis in bio-artificial organs.

Did your concealer and you're gonna have more natural looking under eyes all the time? Is that possible for the mature woman? We're gonna find that out in this video. Hello friends! I am really excited to bring you this tutorial or this tip and trick. This is so simple that you are not going to even believe it. I don't know how I did not figure this out before, but for me I have extreme crinkling underneath my eyes. I have crow's feet and laugh lines so very deep, but I also have very extreme under eye darkness, dark circles, dryness underneath there.  I wouldn't put foundation up underneath my eyes, but you would have moisturizer then a little bit of primer to create a barrier so you don't sweat through. And then the color corrector and then the concealer and after the powder everything would just look so very thick and cakey. And sometimes that's okay if you're looking for a little bit more of a very finished look, but if you're somebody that just wants a very natural look and something that can go really quickly this might be a perfect tip and trick for you. We're going to get into this right now. I hope that you do enjoy it. Give it a thumbs up if you do and if you're new to my channel I want to say welcome. Thank you all for being here with me. As usual, all of my faithful subscribers love you guys so very much. Let's do this trick. You're not going to believe how easy this is to get a more natural looking under eye. So filming for me is going to be so challenging for a while. I'm using the elf putty primer. I this whole room and everything about it has got to change, but right now I'm just trying to continue with the videos for you guys.   This is my son's chair. You guys see me all the time use the Pixie by Petra under eye corrector. I'm not going to do that today, but if you have dark circles and you want to make a very beautiful brightened look and you just can't achieve it, think about trying this one. You know what? I'm going to do one on one side. I'll do one on one side and then you guys can decide whether or not, you know, that is needed or not on your own, but I'm going to just do it on one side so that you can see. Normally I put this just about everywhere, but we're just going to put it on this side.  I'm just going to use a little bit of powder all over to kind of help set all of this down. I'm not going to use a ton. My foundation today, I'm using the L'Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear. This is a 24 hour, says it's a 24 hour foundation. Don't know if it really is or not, but it also has a sunscreen in it and my color is 450. I will tell you right now that I bought this color when I was self tanning. I haven't had a chance to since I moved, so I'm going to take two whole pumps on the back of my hand right there and I have to color correct it with the LA Girl Blue Mix and Medium because as you can see right there, can you see how orange that is? I'm going to put a little bit of a pump in there of the blue. It's very pigmented. You don't need a lot and it's going to change the color. This is going to be just a tiny bit too dark for me, but actually that's going to help us be able to see how well this does. I'm using a BK Beauty brush. This is the number 106 and I do love BK Beauty brushes. Okay, so we are just going to swirl this and we're going to put our foundation right up underneath our eyes instead of using concealer. This trick is kind of one that out of necessity I stumbled across. It was a day when I didn't have any concealer with me. I only had my foundation.  I've done that video. I do like that and again it's more like if it's in a pinch. This more is about I didn't have my concealer that day, but once I did this trick it was phenomenal and basically all we're doing is using foundation instead of concealer and I think the reason that I like that is foundation sits down pretty well. You don't have to use a lot of powder with it. Look how good that did. I'm just like ditching my concealers. I really truly am. So this foundation will cover most all my imperfections and hide everything and everything is going to look absolutely beautiful because of the foundation, but I also want you to know that the concealer is optional. What this is going to do is it's going to make my skin look perfected because I'm using that flawless foundation technique, but what we're doing instead of any sort of concealer, we're using a very thin, thin formula of foundation to get these dark circles concealed.  I think that's self-defeating in the purpose of the really really bad dark circles because when you accentuate those circles with a lighter color that's where the eye is drawn. With this you're just looking at one color on your canvas and I think that's just fabulous about it. So I want you to see how good that's doing right now. I'm not putting extra on there. There is just a little bit of product and so when you look down you can usually see whether or not you have more need for foundation. You can see that right through here is where I would normally put my concealer. I have a little bit of it left on the back of my hand. I'm just going to pick it up on my finger just a little bit and I'm going to just press it into that area and see how this one with a color corrector doesn't need it as much as this one and that's all it is. It's just using foundation in a little bit more strategic way than you're using concealer. It just seems to be so much better on my mature skin to do this. I don't know why. I just know that it works for me and I absolutely love it. The other thing is the brush is going to lay down the foundation a little bit thicker than it would if you were using a sponge. You can use a sponge 100% if that's what you choose to use. Now I'm using the Essence Contouring Palette Duo and I'm just going to take my big fluffy kabuki fan brush and I'm going to go through the two of those and get my contour slash bronzing color together. What I love about doing contour and bronzing together is that you don't have all those extra steps and in the summertime why is it that we seem to be so much more busy and we don't really have time for a full face of makeup and we just want to really get out the door. As always I do my highlight before my blusher and this one is from Flower Beauty. It is their highlighting trio. I just go down all three and then I put that on the top of my cheeks and beam that out. I think that is such a beautiful look. I love that look and this time I am using an ELF multi-stick and I think this one is peony and I really like this one. It's kind of a peachy pink color. It's just really pretty and I'm just going to use my stipple blush brush that I got from it a while ago and this makes a beautiful look on the cheeks as well.   My like I said my house is such just in such disarray. This is the Milani Soft and Sultry. I'm just going to go down in this color right here which is a brown and I'm using a pencil brush and I'm just going to do a tiny bit of lining of that corner right there just in the outer part right there to give it a little bit of definition. I'm also going to put just a little bit of mascara out here on the outside corner of my eyes trying to keep those eyes as wide and bright as possible and this also helps your concealer look to be a little bit brighter. The attention to those outer lashes that's going to help it look brighter too because you're going to define the lashes. Because it's summer I took my hair down by the way because it's summer we also need to set that just a little bit under the eyes. I'm using a big fluffy brush from It Cosmetics and that same powder that we just used I do love the Becca and I use the Becca all the time. Again it's just not in front of me that's what I would choose to use. I'm just going to set down these points on my face or these parts on my face that seem to get a little bit of breakthrough and a little bit of creasing underneath those eyes happens as well. I'm using my brush a lot to buff but I really didn't use extra product on there. If you guys saw this in a look just on a picture or if you were just watching a video would you ever know that there wasn't concealer here? I feel like the answer would be no you wouldn't know because it's just such an easy tip it works up so fast. I feel like it just does such a fantastic job again when you look down. I got a little viewfinder right here. Again when you look down you can see that there's a little bit there but it looks so natural because it works into the foundation so beautifully. Anyway that is it for today's video. I hope that you did enjoy seeing me do this very quick concealer routine with no concealer. Thank you so much for spending a little bit of your time with me. I love y'all very much and I'll catch you all in my next video. Bye friends!


17-year-old senior secondary school student Abdulahi Tokuraba has been tortured to death by a group of security operatives kutnamed Operation Farauta in Adabawa state. Operation Farauta, which combines personnel of the armed forces, the police and Niger security and civil defense corps NSCDC, was created to tackle security challenges arising from the Boko Haram invasion of the parts of the state. The outfit is said to have tortured the young lad to death following an allegation that he had received a stolen iPhone 7 belonging to the wife of the executive director of Adabawa state's scholarship board, Shuaibu Wambai Zumo. Commenting on the incident via a phone, spokesperson for the police in Adabawa state, SP Suleman Nguroje said an investigation into the cause of the death of the minor is ongoing and those found culpable no matter their status would be prosecuted. What is that face is fish out those that did that act. They should fish out and deal with according to the law. No body is according to law because you are wearing uniform doesn't mean that you can go and do what you're not supposed to do. And it has been known that what they used to do there is that it did with civilian matters. Somebody quarreling with someone because of a girlfriend reported that they called the other and didn't change. If somebody says the issue of this phone of a teen then what you take someone in the report and then beat somebody there. In the command upon receiving the reports the CEP have directed GPT commissioner of police investigation who happened to be the one in charge of the highest investigative body to commence investigations. The command equally reached out to the Nigerian army per se to see how we can at least harmonize and come together to fish out those that were fingered. At the wake of yesterday the report equally came up that the victim was hospitalized and was receiving treatment died in the course of receiving treatment. Nound investigation has now extended to many experts to equally give us the result of the autopsy that must have been conducted upon the body. Secondly, the person who was said to have accused the victim wrongly was equally invited by the police and the command equally wrote to the Nigerian army obviously the head of the operations to provide those guys fingered into this so that together our investigation will be conducted. So I would like to assure members of the public that the command that is settled with the responsibility of protecting life will not promote or allow somebody to take life.


So, can you tell us about the most important message that you want to convey today in the panel discussion? I want to convey the message that so-called disability does not apply to just one sector of the community. We are all equally abled and disabled by technology and our relationship to it, and therefore our relationship to the social world and to education, so that when we talk about making better and more assistive technology tools, we're not only speaking about people with disabilities, though they're an incredibly important group, but we're talking about all of us in the world in which we all live longer, we all have various things happen to us which require us to have new, better, different kinds of interfaces to technology so that we can speak and express ourselves, learn and relearn as necessary. So, one of my points is that disability is not a marginal issue. These assistive technology tools are for us all. The most important thing about them is that they should be made available from birth for free to everyone who needs them, and until we get to that point, I think we're doing a huge disservice to all of us as a human race. Most people with disabilities are not in a position to pay extortionate amounts of money for a bit of hardware and some software which might be outdated and may not work and may need to be customized. Really what we need to do is work together across disciplines and across countries and in an open source model to create tools, hardware and software and customize ways of working with people in community settings to make sure that everyone who has a communication or education or mobility need has that need met in a very specific way. So my basic pitch is that we should work together to create and provide free accessible and assistive technology tools. And when I say I use this phrase almost too late technologies, which is something that I discuss in the context of a partial rejection of the notion that there are just in time technologies, just before it's too late for someone to learn just before. Often that just before is really in some sense almost too late. And for people who have never had a physical voice, who have lost their ability to move for whatever reason, disability or cancer or stroke, almost too late is almost too late. We should be making tools available right from the outset of each person's life. And my real point is it's possible to do that. Most of the tools that our center use exist out there. We're finding ways to reverse technologies that are used for selling products to make them communication tools for people who need them. Most of what we need to do is collaborate better and more deeply across community and across the sectors. And my last point would be as an example of how we could do this very easily, one of the tools that we use most with collaborators is an eye gaze technology which has four infrared cameras that will follow the eye movement of anyone, which is particularly useful for someone who can't move any other part of their body. So that as you stare at the screen, as your eyes remain focused on a letter or an image of a sound in music or whatever it is, a picture of an object or a picture of a person, as you gaze at that, that object sound is heard out loud and or is written on screen so that your eyes become your mouse or your interface to everything for education and creative expression. Those tools could easily be used to activate gaming environments as well as learning environments which all the companies could make accessible on all the various gaming platforms. And just like the Nintendo Wii made movement interface accessible and very cheap for all because as soon as everyone buys a Nintendo Wii game suddenly the cost has come right down. If we've made some games for our gaze technology, all of us, and made them customized in local dialects with local content encourage the large companies to support cross-platform development for our gaze control then everybody who needs our gaze control would have it. And this would apply to any other interface for disability or for recovery in a rehabilitative state that we can come up with. So basically we can do it, we need to do it and we need to do it now. Thank you so much for your time.
