Welcome to this next session of OER 2022. I'm delighted to be joined by Vivian Vladimirski, who is joining us from the GoGen Network today. And Vivian is going to be talking about investigating the use of OER and OEPs by Brazilian public basic education teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. So without further ado, I'm gonna hand over to you, Vivian. There will be a five minute question and answer session at the end of this. So please add any questions you have for Vivian into the chat. Welcome Vivian. Thanks Caroline for that quick introduction. I'm going to be skipping to the slide. So this is what I'm going to be presenting to you today. Just mentioning that this study has been funded by the GoGen Network. I'm a GoGen Fellow. So basically what I'll be talking about here in this presentation today, I'm going to be addressing the goals and outcomes of the study, process and methodology, which are the online interview questions and population demographics. And I'll be showing you the preliminary findings. This is all phase one. What I will not be addressing, but I'll be talking about maybe next year or at the end of the year, maybe at OER Global, whenever they're ready, validation of preliminary findings and the frameworks or guidelines based on data collected, which is the final phase of this study. So as I mentioned before, I was funded by the Global OER Graduate Network. I was given a GoGen Fellowship at the beginning of this year. The criteria for inclusion in this study is that the participant be a K-12 public school teacher and possess knowledge of who we are beforehand. The objectives of this study are to better understand the challenges faced by K-12 teachers, Brazilian K-12 teachers during emergency remote teaching. So I'll be talking about emergency remote teaching. To assess if teachers use OER and OEPs during emergency remote teachings, to incorporate perspectives and experience of teachers during this period of crisis, and finding the final outcome of the study will be to develop framework or guidelines to catalyze a better path for the future. So basically, I undertook 60-minute interviews with six president basic education public school teachers. I initially recruited 15 teachers, however only six teachers and a participant in this phase. Categorization of the data was done and coding was undertaken using EnVivo. And we're disseminating, I've already posted the blog of these preliminary results. Now I'm disseminating to this conference and I'll be posting other blogs and other publications to come in the near future. So just for you to have an idea with the online interview questions, they're basically focused on gathering demographic data. I'll be showing you some of that. Technology used during this period instructional material and pedagogical practices used to deliver ERT, main obstacles faced, how student engagement learning was assessed, use of OER, use of OEPs, plan to use OER and OEPs in face-to-face classes and lessons learned. So as you can see, I didn't only focus on use of OER, use of OEPs, because I wanted to get like a bigger picture of what really happened during this period. So you can see here population demographics basically six participants. And most of them are from the South region, Southern region of Brazil. And the Southern region of Brazil has a higher growth development index than for example, the North and the North Eastern part. Most of the teachers are elementary and you have one here is high school and they taught different subjects which was really interesting. So I had Portuguese literature and foreign languages. Then I had a teacher, a participant from the North who teaches literacy to childhood education that was really interesting. Most teachers have a master's degree except for one here where a bachelor's degree and they had varying experiences and knowledges with ERT. So this cohort was interesting because we have at least one, two, three, three teachers out of six, okay? So it means 50% did have quite experience using ICTs or technology for education. Then other threes had no experience at all, okay? And then I also wanted to know who participant resorted to help for ERT. So the ones who already had experience did not need to resort to anybody and the ones who did not have any experiences basically learned on their own, okay? So technologies that participants used for ERT what they use in Brazil, WhatsApp is very big. So they use a lot of WhatsApp to exchange information between themselves and to provide accessibility to digitally exclude students for learning purposes. They did receive at some point Google training from Google classroom and especially in the South they already have that in the North, Northern part of Brazil, not. They did use Google Meet for synchronous classes but this was more in the first semester of 2021. Just a quick reminder, which I forgot to mention, the pandemic started in March of 2020 and so until June of 2021, teachers were teaching remotely, okay? Some of them had used YouTube channels. In the Northern part of the region there were TV programs created by state governments. There were printed text books and activities which were delivered to the students at the schools and many times teachers had to go to schools and get these text books to correct them and there was a lot of communication via email. So these are the main instructional material used in the pedagogical practice. So teachers report using WhatsApp to practice pronunciation, textbooks and sheet of activities and these are the student textbooks, student kits, Jamboard, YouTube videos, games, cartoons, comic strips, news articles, PDFs, feedback provided via email or Google's text editors, synchronous meetings, interaction with students was limited to students responding using chat tools, more or less what's gonna be happening here today. Students used email for doubts. One teacher produced his own instructional materials for history and geography. Last and so, for example, he used primary resources, fragment of existing text, maps, text from experts in the areas and teachers reported replicating face-to-face pedagogical practices in the online world which is more or less to be expected, okay? So other challenges faced by teachers while there were no directives from the Ministry of Education at the BNP index so teachers were super lost. In 2020, teachers were required to go to the school, they were required to pick up the assignments correctly at home. So this is before the asynchronous classes which started to be offered only in 2021. In 2021, some state governments required use of Google classroom, but not all teachers had previously experienced it with it. So some teacher education was provided but teachers kind of had to learn by doing it, okay? Teachers also stated that there was work overload. They needed to upgrade their Wi-Fi, deal with family at home and noise, deal with students cognitive loss which became more apparent in 2021 and student invasion. They felt that there was a loss of bond, student interaction and participation was a challenge and they felt like they were exposing themselves in camera and that was very new and challenging for them as well. Also a little time to produce instructional material, challenges for students. They need to learn how to use ICTs for learning purpose despite being digital natives. And also teachers had to learn how to deal with the digital exclusion, basically learning my doing due to lack of knowledge and skills with ICTs and remote teaching. Other challenges were lack of knowledge and skills of school director and pedagogical coordinator for ERT. So as happens a lot political aspects often dominate problems with distribution of printed material and the Brazilian national curriculum which was supposed to really go into effect in 2019, 2019 went into effect in 2020 and teachers did not receive any professional development implemented. So that became a little problematic. Well, here is like the focus of my studies. So did they really use OER? And I was quite surprised because in this small cohort group of six, yes, they did use. So one teacher stated that she developed a need book. Teachers all stated that use repositories with material for history with no clear indication of CC license. Use of books available on the internet, texts and images in the public domain. Use of OER to produce literature Portuguese, Spanish instructional material. So this teacher who's already been using OER for some time. The teacher from the Northern region of Brazil developed a video and through cards from scratch for literacy. And I also asked them, well, what repositories were you resorting to? What license were you using? And I found out that it's still a challenge for teachers to use CC license and attribute them correctly. So for example, one participant reported copy and pasting the CC logo and other participants were not very clear on whether they were using the CC logo. And when I asked them about repositories, they said the reason repositories from universities and other educational institutions some with the open license, but basically it's still a challenge for them. They say, oh, okay, they're using open license, open educational material, but really they're not putting licenses or attributing correctly, okay? Although they have stated that they've been using OER. Two teachers said that they deposited the material in the Ministry of Education repository and digital resources, but apparently got no feedback from them. So they were waiting for something which they didn't have. In terms of use of open educational practices, teachers reported using OER piece to share material for help, sharing of instructional material, images in audio via WhatsApp or Facebook, also they use these platforms. The teachers joined specific subject groups to share materials. There was a lot of sharing of tools with colleagues. So basically the teachers who have been already working with technology before shared these tools. One teacher reported difficulty sharing ideas in instructional material because there are no regular meetings held between teachers who teach the same subjects. And one participant said that there's a lack of culture of collaboration. Many teachers develop things and don't like to share them. And this is what happens basically face to face as well. Then I asked the participants how students were assessed for engagement and learning. And that's where I kind of like got a question mark. And so they really had this difficulty in assessing students during synchronous classes. They didn't know who was particularly because students were basically writing in the comments, class were early, so they didn't get enough engagement there. And they also reported that students who did not use Google class from had a lower engagement rate, one might suppose so. Some teachers said that they resorted to, well, actually one project-based learning. She developed comic strips, based on news, got students to interact more. There was collaborative and cooperative learning. So in the sense of development of avatars and cartoons, other teachers stated that they tried to obtain regular student feedback on activities. But apparently 20% of the students did not have engagement in any kind of remote learning. And participants reported that ERT exacerbated the existing digital exclusion. So it was difficult to assess engagement and learning of some of the students. So moving on here, the next question was if these teachers who were interviewed planned to use OER and OEPs in face-to-face classes, and one teacher report she's already began developing all classes using OER, which I thought was really nice to hear. Another teacher stated it's necessary to create OER because there's a lack of instructional material in the Amazon region. OER could cater better to students' needs. And I found that amazing. And so they said, yeah, go for it. And participants planned to use OER in their face-to-face class. We mentioned that they're all back now teaching face-to-face. So I'm gonna kind of follow up on that. And there is need to disseminate OER use and open license use. And most plan to do this in their own schools. So these are basically, I'll go over how much time I have, but these are suggestions just to learn that I got from these participants as a professional development should be offered more consistently and with higher quality. It's not the first time I hear this. My doctors thesis also, sorry. My doctors, it's not the thesis. Well, anyway, my publication talks about this, about professional development. Teachers complained of salaries. They have not had salary raises since 2013. Public policies need to be revisited and change. Lack of infrastructure in public schools and teachers still need to use their own computers and Wi-Fi. And this was an interesting time because when teachers went back to their face-to-face classes, before that they couldn't use their mobile phones and now they can. And so it's really interesting that they can now because they found out that, wow, something opened up there. Teachers found it's easier to work with students remotely than in schools because of lack of reliable access to the internet. Another interesting finding was that older teachers who are more resistant to technology and my doctoral study talks about are now better adapted. So some good came out of this pandemic. Students now know how to use email. Teachers are now more prepared to use digital resources and escape traditional class by use of OER. Students need teachers mediation to use digital resources while they always did. But this became clear and this is one of the suggestions. There is need to disseminate OER, OEPs and provide incentives, not monetary but rather impressive awards for those teachers who create or use them. And basically politics hamper collaboration and co-creation efforts. So basically now moving on to the phase two of my study. This is what I'm trying to do, recruiting more participants. I'll be validating preliminary findings with participants, member Chaki. So I plan to be holding an online workshop with them. I'll be adding concepts about pedagogies and potential factors to catalyze a better path for the future and how collaborative work can support different scope in the future. And hopefully the product of this will be a framework and guidelines in that improving future educational practices focus on better cooking with times of crisis because we don't know if the pandemic will go back. They'll have to go back to emergency remote learning again. We hope not. But anyway, at least everybody's vaccinated. So thank you very much for your time. I've now ended my presentation and I'm open for any questions that you may have. Thank you so much for that Vivian. That was a great presentation. I had to say that the chat has been buzzing. So I'll pop some questions up for you. Well, not a question, but some really good points made by AC Page or you. First one being unless guidance is provided with the CC item about how to attribute it, most people won't know how to do attribution properly. Yes, that is totally correct. I just want to remind you that these teachers who I interviewed had been taught not only how to create what OER were, how to create OER and so on and so forth. So, and how to attribute them, how to use the license. So they were taught all that, but then when they had to put this into practice, apparently they didn't do it correctly. Yeah, and a follow-up point to that. We as open education practitioners need to consciously ensure we demonstrate by example how to attribute what we share openly to help people with attribution. Definitely, I definitely agree with that. But as I saw, even though they were shown, they were demonstrated by example how to do that, they still had problems doing that. So I guess they need more practice moving forward on how to do that. So question, yeah, a question from Martin Weller. Teachers don't tend to use terms like OEP or OER. So I was wondering for those that were engaging in this sort of practice already, what sort of phrases or terms did they use? They weren't focusing on OER and OEP, but when I recruited them on, I actually did, I knew that they had already taken this course on OER, so that was one of the criteria. So they weren't really stuck on using any kind of phrase or terms, they were just describing the kinds of material that they were developing, which they were considering to be OER and the kind of practice they were engaging in, which they considered to be OEP, okay? So like sharing material, asking for help, and so on and so forth. Thank you for that question, Martin. And another point which I definitely agree with as well, and I'm sure lots will, BC page OU says, a tiny silver lining to the pandemic, it forced people to try different ways to teach and learn. Yes, and it was very exciting to learn that many of these teachers started taking this OER course, which wasn't really been offered since 2017 for free, during 2020, during the pandemic year. So though the teachers said they had little time, they had time to go after and take these courses that were being offered online. So I think that's also one of the reasons why they ended up not attributing correctly, because some had just finished the course and I think they still needed more practice and time to be able to do so correctly. So yes, the pandemic had a lot of upsides to it. And I think one of them was also that teachers who were kind of reading gents using ICTs in the classrooms are now finding them great. So they don't have all this resistance that they used to, so there is a silver lining to the pandemic for sure. Great, well, I'm just checking. I don't think we have any more questions, just one more comment from Martin saying, I think it helps our OER comms to know the type of language commonly used. So thank you. So at this point, it's just left for me to say, thank you so much. I would like to point out how early Viviane has joined us this morning from Brazil. Is it now 6 a.m.? Yeah. Now it's 6.30, 6 a.m. So very, very early. So thank you so much for coming to join us today at that time and to tell us about your work. It's been really interesting and I'm sure the chat will agree that they have enjoyed it. And yeah, I will leave it there and see you all at the next session. Thank you so much, Viviane. Okay, thank you Caroline. Thank you for hosting me and I'll be open to any available comments or questions that any of you have in the future. Thank you and have a great conference for us today. Thank you.


All right, Sabra Trader, it was a good afternoon and welcome on back here. I just ended up closing out a poll question, just asked to all of our students inside our live trading room just now. So great to see all of them there. Had Kathleen just before, Brian later right now, Michael just before with a nice trade on. WBA, we'll check that out in just a moment. Nice short from him and Chuck before, just talking to him a moment ago and Ray and all of our students members alike. Great to have all of us back there and all of us back on social media if perhaps you're there as well, Facebook Live, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, et cetera. As always be a friend, tell a friend, make sure that you folks like and subscribe right to our YouTube and social media streams at CybertradingYou. We look forward to seeing you inside our live trading room just momentarily though. So for all of our new members there actually, might I say, not our students perhaps like Michael, Leda, et cetera, you folks certainly know, but any of our new trial members joining us from the past couple of events, webinars, last few days that we've been here. Well, as a new trial member joining us just right away, Fausta will hammer this point home tomorrow morning likely. Last thing that you wanna be doing is trading what we are calling out because you don't know why we're calling out and certainly unless if you are an experienced day trader of equities, of stocks, and you know what I mean when I say that, right? You know, if you're like a swing trader for 15 years before joining CTU here, it's a different sport. We don't want you to lose money, right? So as a new trial member joining us it is just best to observe, kind of take, you know, step back and listen and just see if this is for you. Now we've had a great day thus far even with the market tanking. This is like my favorite type of day because it goes to show, again, with the market dropping the way it did earlier, there's plenty of stocks that we could follow on the way up. And not only that, obviously, you know, we're following the ETF UVXY which actually trades inverse to the market. Chuck was all over that earlier today and that was a great trade in itself. AMC, we're gonna start off with what's on the screen here at least though. How could we not? I'd ask the poll question just before asking, hey, what stocks are you trading right now, folks? And, you know, transparently enough, the majority of us that answered at least wrote, I'm not in a trade right now, there's nothing I'm in right now actively. And that's normal, that's expected. You know, right now this time of the day we're not really that trigger happy normally. Well, if there's an opportunity out there and we're scanning for it rich in myself, namely, right? You know, we wanna steer the ship in a good direction to where there's a good chance to catch a move. Well, if there's something that we find that looks really attractive, then we'll call it out in myself, obviously. If I'm on a coaching call with a few students throughout the morning and afternoon, then there are things that I'll look to take myself. So, you know, just before earlier, you know, myself and a couple of our students, Dan, and one more before, you know, we were following AMC, right? So, across the late morning, early afternoon, the AMC trade ended up making a strong breakout.  Basically, this dashed blue 10.55, that was the big level throughout this week that we've been, you know, keeping a real eye on. So, that's where I jumped in initially on my position. It broke over the opening print from this morning later on, which led to a much better play running up towards like 11ish almost. On this trade, I'll show book map, I'll show level four. But my big resistance, my target on this trade is 11.73. And if you were following me on AMC throughout last week into this week, you know that we are head on with our iceberg levels on this trade. You know, ran up towards 9.86 earlier this week, head on high the day, it was perfect level to level. Well, I'll show book map and it shows it there. Big iceberg on the Ascot at 11.73. But right now, at least it just pulled back a little bit as the market dropped off, but it's really, you know, regained its support. So, just a moment ago, I was asking our students, hey, if you ended up jumping in the AMC trade, you're looking pretty good. For students, I think like Kathleen, maybe Brad, a couple more just answered AMC. Now, we were looking for support to hold off of 1060, really 1064, but I did write 1060. So I was trying to jump the gun a little earlier and happy it paid off at least. But, you know, I was looking for one more move up, we got it. And now at this point, more now than ever, I think there was a good chance to see that 11.73. So here we are, it's about 140,000 share sell order out there, right there, 11.73 point blank, right?  So given how long it's out there, it's gotta be out there for a reason, right? Right, I feel like you all agree with that sentiment. Well, you'd like to figure even more so if that same order was out there from yesterday. We knew that this order was out there from yesterday. We were calling it out yesterday. I remember this at the back of my hand. So, you know, the more this goes up here and more makes a higher low later on and tries to go back up, how could you not think that this is in play? So, absolutely 100,000% we're gonna put AMC on our watch list here for the afternoon.  Don't blame you whatsoever at all. Like, hey, there's plenty of action left. Hopefully you could jump in on this AMC trade with us here. But really quick, for all of us in the cyber group room, you may have answered the poll question, but I didn't see the name by name results here in front of me. So, if you are in on AMC, just type letter Y in the chat board right there. Currently, we're actively in right now on this AMC trade. Just give me a quick little chat back right now. There's a couple more that we'll go through. It's not just AMC that's pumping up right now. And we've had a great morning. We'll get to all the morning runners that we had from earlier today, but another little bounce up on Tupperware. Hey, if it's not AMC, it could be Tupperware here. It's called out a potential move off of 255 just before looking for a bounce back up from there.  Did well yesterday. Did well actually back on Tuesday this week to begin. And once again now, it hasn't made a higher high just yet. Just move up right now. Looks pretty healthy. I like that. I'll jump back to level four. I think Mike, if I'm not mistaken, Michael D, were you in on this trade at Tupperware? I think that you'd wrote back on that. Looking good. It's made a really nice bounce so far. So if you're in from like the VWAP price long or from 255, that's a really nice entry. Looking pretty good here. So see if this runs up higher. You have your next resistance at 275, three bucks from there. There is some order pulled here on the ask at 365. No guarantees, but it was out there for a good portion in the morning. Makes you wonder why, right? So with that, 365 could potentially be a huge level on this trade later today. If the stars align very well, definitely with AMC I'm gonna put Tupperware on our watch list. All right. All right, so we had those two going right now. Actually on top of that, we got one more. How's it looking? Ah, crashed back down one more time here. The damn LL trade, lumber liquidators basically, right? So we were hopeful for this to make a higher high and it was looking really strong just before holding over and re-breaking over $4.20. Now we're looking for the move up there. Just snap right back down though. It actually pulled all the way back down towards, I believe what that is, the opening bell print level there, basically off of 403. That was my first entry level on this trade today. So it pulled back there, but even with this bounce, I don't like the shake. So I was actually gonna come to this and I was looking forward to seeing this break higher and saying, oh yeah, this too. We're gonna put this on our watch list also. I'm not fully committed to this just yet.  If it ain't breaking higher, there's only one other way it's gonna go. So not a big fan of this drop off right now in lumber if you're looking for a long. All right, so let's see what we can grab here at least heading into the market close. I go short, I'm getting out on that. That thing is looking pretty healthy on the way up there, my friend, hopefully have a tight stop set. Seco here, I mean, hey, hopefully no one was short on this trade earlier today. This is a total casino stock, much like the TPST trade. This was up like God knows how much percent early in pre-market this morning. Shaking, rattling, rolling all over pre-market at the open. Obviously you see this thing just crashed and burned. Obviously it would be easy to say that would be a nice looking short trade if anyone was able to get the shares, but that's not what we look to do here. I mean, we short, don't get me wrong, we small cap stocks. We're either looking for the bounce, the breakout on the run up, or otherwise we just move on from it once it dumps back down. Something like OPGN here even as we continue. This thing was a nightmare stock later on. It was pretty crazy even after or even as it ran up.  I mean, you can't really look to trade that stock just given for every time it reopened up. It got halted again. There was barely any room for you to try and figure out support resistance. So it's either you jump in recklessly, aimlessly, and hope, which is not what we do, or you move on, you move on to another stock. You just don't let it be noise and a distraction. So we're calling it out, we're hoping to trade it, but if it's something that you find that it's just very intimidating to trade or something that you just don't see as high reward or just too high a risk otherwise, just there's another trade out there. Check in with AMC, check in with Tupperware, check in with the other trades out there. So same with this as we said on Seco, it's like a gamble stock right now. Same with this, VS, it was a cheapy stock this morning, pop and drop stock though. This thing was all over the map. Went from 50 cents up to $1 back down to 50 cents back up to $1.30. That's nuts. And I gotta tell you, I mean, it's not as if I had this in mind for any specific stock because you never know. If anyone says they know, they don't, unless if they have insider information. But it's just to say that after what we saw with TPST yesterday, you gotta figure there's gonna be at least some other stupid stock out there the next couple of days that's up 400%, 800%. You go back on this meeting, I said that yesterday. Obviously we had no idea what stock that would be, but after yesterday's move on TPST, it definitely gets traders incentivized, especially those in a larger group or a larger money group that can move a stock. Say, all right, well, hey, what's the next trade that we could pump up 1,000% or whatever the hell it is. So it gets us excited because we follow the big money, right? We're not trying to jump the gun. We're not trying to assume funny quote here actually from a show I grew up with as a kid on sick days, watch this show and a guy would say, you know what happens when you make an assumption, right?  It's a silly quote, right? But it always stuck with me after. And when it comes to trading, I kind of feel the same way. You never want to jump the gun. You never want to assume.  And then the ump will shun you out the door. So let's see what we could at least get here otherwise there's really not a pop and drop stock, but a stock that's worth our time on the way up looking good. This was looking good until it wasn't. It was a buyout. Not looking good. This BSQR move on from this. And this is on our side list. We'd come back to this at the end either way. It's still a shaken back down a bit. PRZO had a nice pop earlier. I forgot about that. I mean, even in pre-market and then after the open, this one kind of flew under the radar a little bit afterwards. Even with the drop off it had, it's actually bouncing back up pretty nicely here. It's a nice volatile stock. I'm gonna put this on our side list. I'll come back to this at the end with the lumber trade. No problem coming back to the PRZO if I need to. All right, what else we got here?  I feel like otherwise on the gainer side for all the real moves that we ended up capturing earlier today, there were a bunch of lower volume stocks that flew under the radar. You just got to try and skim over them when you can. So with the market dropping off as much as we had, of course, you had UVXY, right? That was something I did reference earlier in the meeting. Market dropped off. This ran up really well. So this in particular, I'll just kind of add to our list here right now. It makes the cut UVXY. If we got another drop off on the spy, this should look to break back over 16. So for right now, I don't mind slipping the UVXY on there. There it is on the gainer side up over nearly 6%. There's Michael's WBA. He had a short on this just before. Looks like it paid off pretty nicely. Just, you know, if it was around the highs or like a little over 24. All right, what else we got here folks? Let me know if there's anything else looking good on the way up. This stock fast and all came off earnings. I remember that goes to show folks never want to buy a company just because earnings came out because take one look at Delta. Delta popped in pre-market. Yeah, it set sell off at the open just likely for people that traded the options pre-earnings.  All right, so we got three stocks. Actually, we got two stocks and an ETF on our main list, right? UVXY is not a stock, it's an ETF. So if you have book mapped then definitely you should look to try and trade it. But if you don't got book map, probably gonna find an easier time following AMC or Tupperware. Tupperware at like 261 right now. So I think that's gonna look to make a nice pump higher soon. I wouldn't bet against the callouts we're making here, right folks?  I would not look to long right now. This thing is dropping off very steadily. This would be a great short here heading into the afternoon, especially if it's breaking all time lows, which it is. There we go. It's actually easy to borrow from you on trade station just double check if you're on TOS or IB Fidelity if you can get the shares to short this thing. PMVP, that's what it is, PMVP. Don't know what news came out, but this thing got clobbered mid-afternoon. Actually, you know what? That's actually a pretty fast spike down. So I got a little time on my hands here. Let's actually check the news out on this PMVP. Why not? Oh, it's MVP. Okay, PMVP. There we go. Dyslexia, you know. PMV, PMV pharmaceuticals updated, phase one data, whole bunch of stuff above my paper. No, I'm just trying to read if they didn't need primary endpoint or whatever it is, it doesn't even say that in the title, but this is the real headline behind it here. And it did come out most importantly, 1232 PM. So this stock got clobbered right here when the news came out. Just interesting to see. So yeah, right now I'm gonna look for a short on this stock, but if it ends up failing to break lower from this point at least and builds higher lows or if there is a large order on the bid that pops up as support, you know, it's down 40%. I think that it could drop more before we look for that dead cap balance. But, you know, if it ain't breaking lower, then maybe you could look for that squeeze back up. All right, here we go. Let's see what else we can grab here on our watch list here on the loser's side right now. A few stocks at the lows here, shortable. All right, this RVNC stock, not too bad breaking multi-year lows actually from last week into this week. Oh yeah, all-time lows. This is actually at it right now.  It just sold me into putting this on our main list. It looks like just, you know, it could use a little bit more volume, but it's got a decent spread, tight spread, which we appreciate. That two stocks to all-time lows today. RVNC and PMV pick, probably more than two, but you know, just those are at least tradable. Good enough, at least I feel for us to follow. Yeah, so I'll tell you what, I don't see any other name stocks, like known stocks that we tend to follow day-to-day on the loser's side. You know, if there's anything else folks looking good, just let me know here in the chat board. Got a coaching call at 3 PM with one of our students, one of our, I'll say level four, level five students will say, and our student Alex P, we're gonna crush it hopefully on one of these trades here into the close. Question on lumber. There is a serious buyout for LL would that not support the price to prevent a big drop off? If the buyout, if the rumor is real, then perhaps so Sam, just if that's the case at least then that certainly strengthens the case for a run up or none. If you're hoping for that news to be true, then perhaps you do a sping on it. And once the news comes out, see a nice big fat gap up and looking pretty good, right? But at least for myself on lumber as we just jump back to our side list here with lumber liquidators, it's not back over that 420 level just yet. So as far as a day trade for us into the close, not fully committed to this just yet, but by the time Rich is on the mic at three o'clock in 10, 12, 15 minutes from right now, if nothing from the main list is looking good and this is starting to perk back up to 420, there's a chance, right? There's a chance. Weight watchers, not a bad short mic, not a bad short itself. This one dropped off quite a bit back from yesterday, right, at that big resistance that broke over, it pulled back under it. Yeah, so it's more or less to say, if you're able to get that short from that 1206 price, 12 10-ish price that we had there, looking phenomenal. I could add this to our list. I really can, you know, there could be more room on the way down, just I feel like unless if the market's really pulled back, it kind of seems like it's like at its next little support here, these peaks here back from like a week or two ago, 11.39, 11.42-ish, just kind of right there. I see a little doji on the daily chart there also, I see that there. You know, I could slip this on the bottom of our list right now, Mike, wouldn't be bad. Roku, for a more expensive ticker, obviously that's dropping off pretty nicely as well from Rod, so if you're short already on that, if you bought puts on that already, then I am rooting you on because that is a nice trade on the way down too. No harm with Roku either. Let's see if there's something like going against the grain though, like trying to make a nice pop going up, right? Tupperware on our list already, still just kind of holding here, so no, rather see a bust over 260 sooner than later and keep this train going on the way up. And for AMC, still looking pretty nice here. You know, just dropped off a little bit, but as long as it doesn't pull back under 1080, I think that we're in good shape. Let's jump back to Benzinga Pro, see if there's anything on the way up, namely that we missed B-Y-S-I, looking like it's making a pop right now, so check that one out, B-Y-S-I, not bad looking. The only issue, and you know what I'm gonna say on this, when you look at the order book, it looks really thin on the buy side. So it already moved up from a dollar-ish even less, but up towards a dollar 25, and then back down to a dollar 25 cent pullback, moved back up 20 cents here.  So I hope the order book fills in even more on this trade, but for right now, this definitely makes our list. B-Y-S-I, just a couple last ones here at the end just to wrap up, I figure I do my due diligence and just kinda skim through. None of these looking really that great, so I'm gonna pass on all of these actually.  I'd actually rather follow like that. We watchers are Roku, so. I think that we're gonna call it for right now, folks, just jumping back to our side list here at the tail end. L-L, it's trying, I guess, right? It's trying to get back up to that 420. You know what, when it comes to saving room for one or two more, that's where I jump back to our side list. I don't mind now slipping this back on the very bottom. And then PRZO on the other side of things, doesn't look like it. Not so much. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up here for the meantime on social media, Facebook Live, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, et cetera, at the horn here. Vincent, my apologies, my friend. I'm just catching the chat right now, just a few minutes ago. One of our members here routinely on Facebook, Vincent, asking about the OPGM. There we go. Ah, that thing's a nightmare. That thing's been a nightmare stock after the drop-off. So, you know, it's kind of interesting, right? We kind of consider ourselves like five-year-olds at times because we always like to ask the question why, right? Why is this iceberg order out here for the last two days straight, right? Why? Well, it's gotta be out there for a reason. In terms of being like a five-year-old, another good example of that is, well, you know, once we're done with one toy, we drop it to the ground, we pick up another toy and start playing with it. Vincent, we are done with this toy. We've dropped this toy hours ago and we've moved on to a new toy since. It's a good way to kind of phrase it, right?  I just, again, take a look at TPST down 59% today from yesterday's close. I can't imagine anyone being that surprised by that just given how much it ran up, but it seemed to be set for, you know, any of those stocks up like 100%, 400%, 800. Now, the crazy, the more they go up, the harder they're gonna fall, right? All right, so, hey, for Vincent, for all of a sudden, YouTube, Facebook Live, LinkedIn, et cetera.

And I find it incredibly disrespectful for me to write back with like just one sentence or like five words, right? I find that just super difficult, but I don't have the time to write back that link.

If their lives don't match what they say, you walk away. Don't think that it's enough that you meet someone at church or this woman has Christian values. That's no longer enough. This is very important, especially when men think, well, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna meet somebody at church. Okay, so let's say you meet somebody at church, you meet somebody in your study group and we're talking about how to be a godly woman, how to live a biblical life, okay? Well, then that night, she's like, man, that was great. So you wanna meet for drinks or what? I'm gonna bar. Hey, these are giant red flags waving. People use religion as a way to justify anything they wanna do in these relationships. Well, I believe the Bible says that I have to stay married because I'm married. So you can have affairs, but I'm staying married because I mean, that's what the Bible says, right? People use the Bible to justify everything.


How you guys doing welcome back to Nintendo Prime we have three big stories for you today And you know not every new story we talk about always a positive. So we actually have Sort of at least for us Nintendo fans a couple negatives What we do end on a very strong note today with one of the best stories I think I've actually heard in 2022 for switch. So that's really exciting But before we get into that, hey, if you're brand new to the channel, why not drop a like and subscribe? In fact, I really love our subscribers a ton so much So we're giving away an Xbox Series X a PlayStation 5 or a switch OLED to one of our subscribers this month All you have to do is heads of that gleam that IO link down in the pin comment or the description to enter All right, let's start with well the bad, right? They always say start with the bad and with the good and that final story you really want to gun You know wait around for that one. We got timestamps down below Now another employee is leaving Nintendo of America We've actually seen quite the influx of employees leaving Nintendo of America really since the closure of the California, you know studio of theirs They're kind of focusing everything into Seattle, Washington where their main headquarters are located here in the United States We obviously saw kitten crystal leave they now have their own podcast They were the host of Nintendo minute. Well now we have Samantha Robertson leaving and if you don't know who Samantha Robertson is I guarantee You've probably seen her at one point because now we're showing you clips of her presenting things during e3's various e3's and various events She's been one of the main presenters for Nintendo at these events really making her one of the faces of Nintendo of America And she has left the company. She put out this statement on Twitter and a goodbye message. She said last week. I wrapped up at Nintendo It's been an honor to work with such wonderful people But the pandemic has emphatically underscored that life is short and not to be for granted I have roads yet to explore and as cliche as it is. There's no time like the present I recognize that being able to take this step back is a privilege and it's not a move I make lightly. I'm excited to share future updates with you as I figure out what comes next I'm going to recharge spend time with friends and family Dig into projects and creative pursuits that have been languishing on the back burner for too long and Consider new ways to contribute to the industries and people I care about Video games and the gaming community remain a huge part of my life. This is an industry. I am passionate about I think it's incredible I think it can be even better and I don't think I'm done with it yet So wherever she decides to pop up in the future obviously is up to her and not determined at this point So she doesn't seem like she left Nintendo because she has another job somewhere else I think she just feels exhausted after the pandemic wants to take a step back and then jump back into the industry Through a different Avenue venue company, whatever in the future. So thank you Samantha Robertson for obviously Be an incredible at your job and presenting and playing games for us And obviously everything you actually do for your job that isn't about be it on camera and presenting Nintendo games Obviously, that's what we see public-facing But we all know the Treehouse employees are busy translating games and testing games and you know putting in the real work That all of us just get to enjoy and sometimes not appreciate as much as we should I don't worry So Nintendo America is completely gutted. We saw Bill Trent in there, baby. We don't know him He's like though. I don't know. I'm almost surprised. He's not the president But hey Doug Bowser is so cool. Alright, let's move into our next story and again I told you bad stories to start today, but we end strong and this story is well It's a bit rough. So Nintendo has decided to go to archive org and take out something. That's very special. We're talking about of course The strategy guide for Mario 64 that only came out in Japan. It was a Japan exclusive Strategy guide there are scans of it that existed on archive org It only had a one-print run back in 1996 only released in Japan So the only way people could enjoy this little part of this little nugget of gaming history to enjoy the dioramas They actually made for the maps. It was actually pretty cool What's to go to archive org and actually well, you know look at it these things are decades old Never been reprinted. There's no money to be made off them for anybody archive org doesn't make money off it Nintendo doesn't make money off it and well Yeah, Nintendo decided, you know what? We're taking this out. You're not allowed to host this material. It's copyrighted material Goodbye, they pressed delete on it again. Nintendo. He likes to hit that delete button a lot lately So let's actually get into some comments made by the people who originally had this up at archive org because they really succinctly put what exactly happened here and why it doesn't make sense Sadly archive org sent me their usual take-down notice email telling me Nintendo of America challenged the copyright of the scan And it was removed frankly I'd love to challenge the legitimacy of that and how Nintendo of America would have anything to do with the Nintendo of Japan licensed gem books guide from 1995 but I can't really fight the Nintendo legal team here. It's incredibly Disappointed well, I fully understand protecting ones IP and copyrights I didn't think I was hurting anyone by scanning and uploading a 27 year old guide that is extremely out of print Truthfully, I think it helps Nintendo while only hurting the people selling this guide for literal hundreds of dollars on the open market All I wanted to do was spread my love of this incredible guide to the larger extent of my love for the company I'm a rookie to the video game preservation scene But I can't think of anything more depressing than how it's a bunch of hard-working people Spending their free time and money painstakingly archiving and preserving history While major corporations like Nintendo are doing nothing to help in fact they're actively hindering the cause now It's a bit extreme to obviously, you know take this case and try to apply it as a blanket across the entire industry But yeah, we obviously don't game preservation has been hard and obviously gaming media and guidebooks like this preservation It's very very difficult because yeah Somehow Nintendo of America is copyright-claiming a Nintendo of Japan only book. It's really weird I'm not saying that they don't have the legal right to do it It's obviously hosted on you know the American web servers and maybe Nintendo of Japan kind of poked Nintendo of America to go deal with this But it's weird. It's out of print. It's not coming back. There was 20 almost three decades old at this point It's just it's a bit baffling. There's really no negative side for Nintendo other than them saying nope Our characters our guidebook. No, I Don't understand Nintendo sometimes, but hey at least we end with a positive story our last and final story folks It's a rumor, but oh boy is it a doozy and we hope that it's true here at the Nintendo Prime studio And what are we talking about? Call of Duty coming to Nintendo switch and no Not what you think you might be thinking oh, we're getting the shitty Call of Duty mobile game Well to be fair. It's actually not that bad, but no, we are not getting that game. That's on all of your phones No, we are actually getting a real Call of Duty game on switch according to this rumor. Let's dive in Right now. So this actually comes from a user on Twitter. I know so that's a rumor You know supposed insider being reported by a lot of big outlets, which actually brought this to my attention Called Ralph's valve. I actually don't know his history. I just know a lot of big news outlets are covering it So hey, here you go. Here's what he said on Twitter to get a little confusing until the final tweet I don't know if it was intentionally confusing, but here here's exactly what he said in a little thread on Twitter Activision are reportedly considering releasing remastered Call of Duty titles repurpose for newer consoles to fill out the empty space between Premium Call of Duty titles. So this kind of makes sense They're planning to do away with the yearly release of like the brand new Call of Duty game So yeah, kind of like Pokemon company did fill it in with remakes and remasters That had to have some some validity there And then he follows it up a same world at war Call of Duty 1 and 2 backwards compatibility for Call of Duty 4 modern warfare Remastered are currently what's in conversation Everything else was described by an associate as complicated. So that's like what they're talking about But everything besides that gets a bit more complex And then he ends the thread by saying Addressing some of the confusion modern warfare remastered is supposedly coming to Nintendo switch It's first Introductory into the Call of Duty franchise for the console. So right there modern warfare remastered Which actually originally released in 2016 But now they're gonna like somehow make it forwards compatible and then backwards and cross-gen and do all this crazy stuff with it Really soon for PlayStation 5 XX Series X when they do that, they're also gonna bring it to Nintendo switch Supposedly that would obviously be the very first Call of Duty game on switch and you know look switch has some other alternative Military shooters sniper elite series. I actually find to be quite incredible But that's not really based around massive multiplayer like Call of Duty is so it's actually really exciting to me to see one Of the better Call of Duty games that have come out in some time Of course, it was a remaster of a really great Call of Duty game So go figure that that's one of the better ones coming to Nintendo switch I think this really sets things up for future Call of Duty games to come to Nintendo's next generation platform whenever that comes out But we'll see Microsoft obviously likes working Nintendo. They're buying Activision Blizzard something Activision is bringing Call of Duty to switch So yeah, I guess this actually turned out to be pretty good I actually presumed when Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard that we would see less games coming to switch Turns out maybe we're gonna see more so this is really good news really exciting news to end our video today I want to also end by reminding you guys that we will be streaming Kirby and the Forgotten Land By the way that game came out today If you haven't bought it yet Why don't you use our Best Buy affiliate link down at the top of the description because if you do so we actually get a 22% kickback to the channel. So that's a way to just buy the game You're already gonna buy and still support the channel. So that's really cool We're gonna be playing that game tonight and when I say we I mean we not just you and you know me and you guys It's gonna be me and Eric Eric from the Nintendo Prime podcast is coming over tonight for a very special launch stream for Kirby and the Forgotten Land We're gonna be playing it together in co-op mode getting as far into the game as we can In about three to four hours. It's going to be a lot of fun I hope to see all of you guys there It's our game stream this week But it's a launch stream and I think it's gonna be great the streams already up if you would like to go Set your notifications because YouTube notifications kind of suck for live streams if you don't set them So that's why the streams already set up for you. Alright guys. Thank you so much for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video


Strom Block definitely has the potential to be one of the most life-changing projects in a long time in this space because anyone can simply start off with one or a few nodes and make some life changing money in the span of a year. Today I'm going to show you guys what my journey with Strom Block has been so far since I started back in November. I will also show you guys how much my Strom Block nodes made me in January last month. Also show you that I ate in a little bit more last month. Then I'll talk about my strategy going forward. We'll look at Strom Block's price and charts. Talk about the best times to buy, sell, and compound from my experience so far and go over any Strom Block updates. So let's go ahead and jump right in. So currently Strom is around 471 dollars which it's pretty much been here since January 22nd and we've just been consolidating here. Before that we had gone all the way up to a high of 740 dollars in the beginning of January before it is big drop down. Of course this drop was in sync with the rest of the crypto market as you guys know started off the year really bad and now it's been pretty much just consolidating here after that. If we zoom out to the weekly chart you can see that we're actually right on this support area and this is a very important support here for Strom because you'll notice that we've bounced here at this support multiple times over the lifespan of Strom. So if we expect this same trend to continue I'm expecting current prices to pretty much be the bottom. Alright next let's highlight some of the stuff that was covered in the previous AMA which happened on February 5th so about four days ago. Now the AMA answers were a little vague but we did get some clues and hints at what's coming next. So the first thing here is that they're building their strong chain. David said that this will basically be the most efficient and the best option for the strong community overall especially when it comes to gas fees and things like that. So the next thing that David said right here was that they will have a light paper coming out it will be published this month. The light paper will have information on tapering as well. What she said is currently morphing right now due to some breakthroughs so hopefully that's bullish meaning that the tapering is not that bad. So again no clarifications on the tapering models how it's gonna work yet. Last month he said there was a medium post coming up in January. Now this month they're saying that there's a light paper coming up in February so there's nothing we could do but wait at this point. So the next thing here was about the breakthrough that they had with the gas fees. So the lowering of gas fees approach that they're testing now involves consolidating nodes per wallet. So basically you're getting charged a gas fee for every node that you claim. So if you claim one node versus claiming ten nodes it's a lot cheaper to just claim one versus ten but with the new model that they're testing out they're trying to make it so that whether you're claiming just one or ten the gas fee stays the same. So they're currently working on it and testing it on polygon nodes. He said that if the tests are successful they're going to roll it out into polygon nodes and eventually into ethereum nodes as well. So those are pretty much the highlights from that AMA. They're going to have another AMA very soon. All right so finally the moment you've all been waiting for let's take a look at how many nodes I have and how much I made last month. So currently I have 12 nodes up and running. So with 12 nodes that means that I'm currently making about five hundred and forty dollars per day, three thousand eight hundred and forty dollars per week, sixteen thousand four hundred and fifty seven dollars per month and about two hundred thousand dollars per year. Now for simple math I always just estimate that the price of strong is at five hundred dollars. Obviously this can vary and fluctuates with the market. Now in January I started out with just five nodes and with the compounding plus me just wanting to get into double digits faster, I ended the month with ten nodes. So I basically doubled my node count during January. So my total out-of-pocket investment at this point is probably getting close to that fifty thousand dollar area but I am cutting myself off. I am not coming out-of-pocket for any more nodes. The plan from here on out is to build it up and as you guys can see I basically have a projection model that I set up and I've been running through and based on this model if I'm only compounding every single day and I'm not taking out profits by the end of this month I should have fifteen nodes and by the end of next month I should hit twenty nodes. So to give you guys an idea of what twenty nodes is going to look like depending where the price of strong goes I would be expected to make around twenty seven thousand dollars a month at that point at twenty. Now if I were to continue doing this throughout June you'll see that by June 11th I would hit forty nodes. So now of course this only happens in that way if I only compound and take no profits whatsoever right now I'm still not sure when I'm going to begin to take out some profits I definitely want to get to the twenties before I do but it also depends on any news updates events that comes out of strong block and out of uh David Moss if there's any changes to the structure if the price goes up higher which would make it easier to get my return back. So it's going to vary and I'll keep you guys of course updated but my mindset and my plan right now is to just compound while prices are low so that when prices are high then I can sell and take some profits. So for example if the price ever goes back up to like the thousand dollar mark or even if it goes back up to like the seven hundred dollar area at that point I'll be looking to take at least some profits rather than compounding and then when the market drops back down like it currently is right now then I'm only looking to compound and build my position So how much money exactly did strong nodes make me in January? In January I made 21.66 strong or $10,800 so not bad at all remember I started with five strong which would have made me around $6,000 but because I added on throughout the month it made me a total of $10,000 at 12 I'm expected to make $16,000 this month however because I will continue to compound this month I'm expecting to make probably a little bit more than that. The goal by the end of this year of course is to hit 100 total strong nodes at that point that would be paying out $4,500 a day $32,000 per week and $137,000 per month for a total of $1.6 million per year just think about those numbers that's insane now we don't know if the reward model is going to stay the same if the price of strong's going to stay the same so there's a lot of factors that come with it which is also why there's a lot of risk that comes with it now although it may seem like I'm aping in it still is only a small fraction of my total portfolio so please keep that in mind when you're deciding whether or not you want to get into strong nodes and how much you want to put into it so if I only compounded without taking any profits until September I would hit the goal of 100 nodes in 235 days which is more or less around September 25th September 24th so even if I'm taking profits before then I'm expecting to hit 100 nodes before the end of the year so my strategy for compounding or taking profits or just claiming strong nodes is pretty simple the pattern that I've noticed in strong is that on Sunday is usually when the price of strong is at its lowest point while on Fridays is usually when the price of strong is at its highest point here's another Sunday on the 30th price close at 467 while on the Friday the 28th price close at 514 again on the 23rd and 24th price close at 466 and 456 while that Friday it was over 500 at 568 so if you go back you'll notice this pattern happens over and over again usually Sundays are when it's cheapest while Fridays are when it's most expensive so the strategy here is simply if you're looking to buy strong nodes you want to buy them on Sundays and if you're looking to take profit or sell them you want to sell them on Fridays if you're asking why Sundays it's because that's usually when gas prices are the cheapest so until that changes with gas prices this will probably be the same pattern that will continue now one trick that I have found if you want to create nodes throughout the week but you still want to pay low gas fees for example if I hit here to claim right now the gas fee alone is $719 so that means that $10 is what I'm actually paying as the fee to claim my strong tokens and then everything else is in the gas prices you can see that I just hit $800 there so now would not be the time to be claiming or trying to create any nodes because it's just way too expensive it doesn't even make sense so what I'd like to do I go over here where it says edit I hit edit then I hit where it says more options and you see where it says max fee here currently is at 291 I change this to 80 and you see at 80 is still expensive it's still $216 so if you want to try to get under that maybe 70 you could have set it up on 70 during the week I don't think gas prices hit 70 but you could get lucky so here my total would be $189 I would hit save and now you can see here that I have 189 plus a $10 fee my total would at this point be $200 to claim these rewards so I would just hit confirm and now it's not going to go through right away so it's going to happen it's going to be pending for a while usually this goes through either at night or overnight so sometimes I'll just set it up and leave it overnight so by the time I wake up in the morning the order would have gone through and either my note will be set up or I'll have my claim has gone through or whatever the case whatever it is I'm trying to do at that point so that's currently what I've been doing if I'm trying to either claim or create new notes throughout the week I'm just manually setting the max fee that I want to pay in the gas price and then just leaving it on pending usually takes a few hours eventually it goes through and after a full day if it hasn't gone through then your price is probably too low and you just need to raise it up I would say probably 80 almost always goes through for me at night so if you're experimenting with any prices under 80 and it doesn't go through then just set it up at 80 eventually it will go through all right guys so I pretty much covered everything that I wanted to talk about hopefully this video wasn't too long thank you guys so much for watching this video if you guys have any questions don't forget to drop it in the comments I'm always happy to answer every single one of them if you guys are new to the channel don't forget to subscribe and turn on the notifications as I continue to update you guys on my journey so you can see how it goes for me and of course guys don't forget to smash the like button on this video it helps a ton with the youtube algorithm I'll see you guys on the next one as always peace and love


This paper presents a tutorial on deep learning, DL, for digital pathology, DP, image analysis. The authors investigate seven unique DP tasks as use cases to elucidate techniques needed to produce comparable, and in many cases, superior results from state-of-the-art handcrafted feature-based classification approaches. They show how an open-source framework called CAFE can be used for nuclei segmentation, epithelium segmentation, tubule segmentation, lymphocyte detection, mitosis detection, invasive ductal carcinoma detection, and lymphoma classification. The results demonstrate that DL approaches can achieve high accuracy in DP image analysis tasks, even when dealing with challenges such as variations in staining and scanning across sites, biological variants, and manual annotation errors. The paper provides step-by-step instructions for the usage of the supplied source code, train models, and input data, making it accessible to both DL experts and DP slash image processing experts with minimal DL experience.

My name is André Fanroen, I'm working with the Cresat in Zimbabwe in Buluwe. We focus a lot of our work on crop livestock interactions and to try and facilitate great to use of technologies with small scale farmers. The approach we're using is that of innovation platforms or innovation systems where our working hypothesis is that farmers will only invest in increased or improved technologies when they become part and parcel of an effective and efficient marketing system. So the idea behind it is to develop the markets and through that create the pool for increased investments. So through the innovation platforms we bring in the value chain players, let them or allow them to express their challenges and the opportunities that they bring to the system and through that channel articulate the points of interventions which farmers then may adopt. We found that quite often because this information comes from more credible resources, if the Abertwa owner tells you he will pay more for livestock it's got a much stronger message than a scientist having in that. So we're using by developing the markets as a pool for increased technology investment or greater investment in farming strategies and we've had a number of successes in that in Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It's a difficult process, it takes a lot of time and investment from the researchers point of view, from the project's point of view to get people together but in the long term it's got some really good spin-offs. First of all we're using this process to identify the real challenges, not our challenges as scientists but what the farmers are really struggling with and what the value chain are struggling with, again the only people that really put money into the system is the consumer and what we're trying to do using the value chain approach is to reduce the transaction cost so that more money can flow from the consumer to the farmer but the farmer needs to come to the party in producing the quality and the numbers that the consumer want So using the sort of innovation approach we enter in an iterative process of changing, adapting, adopting methodologies, technologies, testing market systems to try and increase the overall efficiency of the production to market process. It sounds like a very different type of research than you can sometimes come across in CG centres. Yeah it's not your run of the mill science but yes personally I think this is the types of stuff that we should engage in more and more often because there are some brilliant technologies and strategies available but to put it within the context of the farmer where it makes sense to the farmer is often the great challenge and I see huge scope for the CG to get involved in these sort of issues How do we get real technology to farmers? How do we put it in the context of the farmer so the farmer can see the real benefits and experience those benefits and I think these innovation systems which we're beginning to grapple with provide us that opportunity or that platform to introduce these types of technologies.


Welcome back to Dunks of the Week. Oh my God! The bounce post! Aw, look at this. In the future I could be, I just gotta work and you know I'm here with that. Never stop, never stop, always on the tack. Locked in the path, never getting off track. Whatever I lack, had to- What is good? Welcome back to Dunks of the Week, whatever we're calling. Dunk of Demics, my boy, sent me some videos. I haven't seen them yet. I might have seen them because I scrolled the Instagram just like the rest of you, so let's get it. And I will be going over the hashtag DonkLifeDunks if you post it on Instagram. Let's go, see what we got here. All right, so first up we got Lefty Boy. I did see this, I did see this. There's no way his arm reached like that. He's been stretching, he's been stretching. I'll tell you that much. What is this one? Ah! Lefty Boy, he's got that. That's why they call him Lefty Boy. He's got this snatch arm. What in the world, dude? Look at this one, hold on. Reaction too. Ready? He's nuts. All right, what's up next? Oh, this guy. I gotta get his name real quick. Tony, look at this guy, Tony. Five, six, off the bounce poster.  First of all, why is the guy blocking not trying to just bounce the ball? All right, oh my, he actually had another poster. That's so much, if it's not on this list. That's his post on available, post on available, perfect. Is this Oliver Twist? Oh! The windmill, he punched it too. It was like slo-mo. Ooh, that hop was almost better. Oh my gosh. He punched it too, he hung. He hung on the little bounce pass and then he hung on the windmill. Twisty, dude. All right, so those are gone.   Where is it? Off one in the middle of the game, that's what I wanna do. But he had another one where he bodied someone from the wing, I gotta see it. It was disgusting. Here it is, here it is. Honorable mention. I wrote what the app, I'm gonna like my own comment. That is a legit bodied poster. Off one by a five, six human man. God, that is my dream right there. Maybe not off one, because I feel so far from that, but good lord. All right, now let's hit the dunk life. Dunk life, baby. Most recent, here we go.  This is not, this is Grabo dunk.  Honorable mention again. And the footage is gross. Oh, the hype of how he punched it was insane. It's like my brother. All right, what is this guy? Gray dunks. Hey, punch that. Look at the whole thing rattling. That was nice, dude. Nine nine baby rim, but killing it. One handed yams, I love it. Ooh, with the left. Extendo. Okay. Oh, I just saw this today on Team Fly Brothers, I think. Let me get his name. Marlowe. He takes off. Look at this. I love those bendy rims like that because they make everything look good. They're not like too loose where they just like everything rattles in, but he punched it still. But, oh my God. Is there any more dunk lifers? Spinny dunks. Ooh, with the two hands. On nine 10. Look at the hype, man. Look at the hype, man. The win with two hands. Nasty. All right, boys, that's it. Thanks you for all for using dunk. Whatever, dude. Hopefully I'll be back yammin' soon. Almost healthy, feeling really good. Hips are getting way better. Hamstrings getting there, gotta keep it slow. I'm on rehab mode. I'm also running a friggin' dunk life book.  Let's go! Oh, that's the answer right there.  Lay up. Eat a little kitty when I wake up. First thing I do is heat it up like a cake up. That's the way I start my day a little nasty. Only if I consume all I'm in and I'm in fast. He's healthy.
