Okay, we're back, we're live. I'm Jake Fidel. This is Think Tech and more specifically, this is a Corona Watch and we're talking with Carl Kim today. He's the director of the National Preparedness Disaster Preparedness Training Center, which is in downtown Honolulu, but which has a national, it is a national federal agency. Carl is also a professor of urban planning at the University of Hawaii for many years. Carl, thank you very much for joining the show. Thank you for having me, Jake. So let's talk about how, you know, all of a sudden, as of what, a month or two ago, our world has changed and as a disaster planning organization, certainly your world has changed. Can you talk about that for a moment? Sure. What we have is a national center that works on developing training courses for first responders and emergency managers on different types of hazards and threats. We have a big focus on natural hazards and epidemics, pandemics, et cetera, can be considered a natural hazard as well, too. And so we've been involved with this in working to both increase the level of preparedness, but also to share public information related to this coronavirus. Yeah, it's very clear that public information is one of the, you know, the methodologies involved in any response because we're talking about the public here and any epidemic involves the public right up to their eyeballs and we have to communicate with them. And so I'm happy to hear that you're, well, I would have assumed you're involved in that. So one of your communications features is a movie that you guys made. Can you talk about the movie and we'll show the movie? Yeah, it was a short video, which we, our staff and our partners put together very quickly. And what we wanted to do was to summarize what available information that we had about the coronavirus and the various types of protective actions that public and others can take in order to protect themselves, but also to reduce the likelihood that the public can take in order to protect themselves, but also to reduce the likelihood that the public can take. That the disease will spread in Hawaii. We think that Hawaii also has some unique challenges because of our remote location, the lack of adjacent communities because we're separated from, by being in the middle of the Pacific. And that really makes it important for us to have strong community action. So that was what was behind the video. Okay, why don't we play the video and then we'll come out to the other side and we'll talk about one of the things that have been covered. Okay, let's go. The National Disaster Preparedness Training Center based at the University of Hawaii is authorized by Congress and funded by FEMA to develop training courses for first responders and emergency managers on natural hazards. The center has trained more than 50,000 people across the nation. Our mission is to support the emergency management community with training, research and development and integrating new technologies for risk management. We focus on vulnerable populations in island and remote communities. At the time of this recording, the highly contagious novel coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 has spread across the globe and into the United States. There are over 420,000 confirmed cases worldwide. While most cases present mild symptoms, fever, cough and shortness of breath, the elderly and those with medical conditions are at increased risk of severe respiratory symptoms leading to death. The global fatality rate is approximately 4% of those infected. The higher mortality rate and the speed at which it spreads makes COVID-19 more dangerous than the seasonal flu. In the United States, we currently have over 55,000 reported cases and over 800 deaths with more to be confirmed as testing expands across the country. Anyone is susceptible to contracting the virus and experiencing life-threatening complications. You may be a carrier and not know it. Many people experience mild or no symptoms for days after contracting the virus. If you are infected, everyone you come into contact with can further spread the disease unknowingly. The primary concern is our ability to treat the most severe cases. Under normal conditions, intensive care units and hospitals operate at around 70% capacity. There are only 30,000 ICU beds nationwide available to treat seriously ill new patients. Johns Hopkins Center for Health and Security estimates over 1 million Americans might need ICU level care, which is 33 COVID-19 patients for every ICU bed in the country. This large influx of cases can be managed if they are spread over time, but if infection rates continue on their current path, many patients will not receive the care they need. Already, medical professionals are being asked to cancel or reschedule electric treatments. Hospitals are starting to reuse personal protective equipment. Testing for COVID-19 adds additional burden on the system and supplies. Technicians must use PPE that might otherwise be available for critical care efforts. Only those who show symptoms and under the direction of their primary care provider should seek a COVID-19 test. Remote and isolated communities face greater challenges when responding to pandemics like this. Supplies and equipment take longer to reach our communities and first responders must cover larger areas. There are fewer hospitals and driving to another state is not an option. Island communities survive using narrow just-in-time supply chains. Currently, we are seeing clear indicators of the stress on supply chains as retailers struggle to restock basic necessities and medical facilities face shortages of supplies and equipment needed for response, transport, treatment, and care of sick people. Unfortunately, a pharmaceutical solution will not arrive in time to stop the spread of the disease. Instead, we need to rapidly adopt social distancing and other measures to head off an accelerated public health crisis. Our president issued guidelines calling for 15 days of actions to include staying at home if you're sick, don't go to work, inform your doctor, keep your children at home if they are sick, don't send them to school, inform your doctor. If someone in your household tests positive for the coronavirus, keep everyone at home, do not go to work, do not go to school, inform your doctor. If you're an older person, stay home and away from other people. If you have serious underlying health conditions that can put you at increased risk of infection, stay at home. States and municipalities have issued further guidance and restrictions, such as limiting social gatherings to 10 people or less, closing bars and clubs, reducing restaurant services to drive-through, takeout, pickup, or delivery, closing theaters, entertainment centers, and visitor attractions, avoiding discretionary travel, suspending services and activities in places of worship, not visiting nursing homes, retirement, or long-term care facilities. Stay at home orders. Social distancing means keeping at least 6 feet of distance between ourselves and others. Expressions of affections such as hugs and handshakes should be avoided. We can further reduce infections through increased basic sanitation. Everyone needs to take precautions, such as frequent hand-washing and sanitizing high-contact areas and separating infected people from high-risk groups. Disinfect common touch areas, including doorknobs, light switches, and remotes using a diluted bleach solution, or with products that are at least 70% alcohol or EPA-registered household disinfectants. Disinfect soft surfaces using the hottest manufacturer recommended water setting and instructions. Wear disposable gloves while disinfecting and wash your hands afterwards. An online course that covers life-saving skills was recently developed by Northeastern University. Please share this with your colleagues and employees as part of your mitigation activities. Data are essential to planning, decision-making, and action. We need information as to who has the disease, who may be infected, where they live and work, and who they may have been in contact with so that we can take action such as quarantine, isolation, and social distancing. We can also deploy assets and resources to sanitize these areas and also encourage healthy people to support the needs of others who are sheltering in place. We need to collect this information without stigmatizing people and adhering to laws and ethical standards with regard to privacy and sensitive personal information. Contact tracing is the mapping of infected person movements through time and space, identifying where and when the infection may have spread, and individuals who may have been infected and areas that may have been contaminated. Real-time information would allow communities to rapidly identify hotspots and public high-contact areas needing sanitation and facilities and care homes which require deliberate social distancing measures. Federal, state, and local agencies are currently overwhelmed. Grassroots efforts and community-based efforts are underway to collect, crowdsource, share information, and help those in need. NDPTC is working with partners to build contact tracing tools for Hawaii. Links in the show notes below for the latest developments. Look for community-driven resources on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, etc., where members are helping each other by sharing localized updates on supplies and services. Answer the call to help your fellow community members. Many measures are currently voluntary. If conditions worsen, we should expect increased government intervention. There may be further shutdowns and forced closures of businesses, transportation, and other services if the disease continues to spread. In addition to actions you can take to protect yourself and family members, we also need collective social action. We need innovative, responsive, effective solutions for managing and sharing information and actions to limit the spread of the pandemic and hasten the response and recovery. Join us in terms of our efforts to increase awareness and to build a whole community response. Contact us with ideas, resources, services, and assets for saving lives and reducing harm from COVID-19. All right, Carl, that's a very interesting movie. The reaction I have is, gee, the numbers have changed. Every day the numbers change. So it's good that you put that caveat in there. No, I look this morning and I think worldwide the number of cases has already jumped to 523,000. And in the US we're over 80,000 and in Hawaii we have 95 confirmed cases with 68 in Honolulu. And so this is a constantly changing and evolving situation and it's really hard to keep up to date on this, but we're doing the best that we can. What's the takeaway you'd like people to remember after watching that movie? What's the core point? I think the core point are there are many actions that we can take individually with our families, with our colleagues, with our friends to really reduce the risks of contagion. I mean it's the basic personal hygiene issues, it's understanding and adhering to the quarantine, isolation, and social distancing guidelines that have come out. And it's really sharing information about who's at risk and what are the things that we can do collectively to prevent the spread of this disease. I think the other message is that Hawaii is unlike other states. We are not connected to other adjacent states and communities, we're located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So we don't have the kind of mutual aid or surge capacity to go to another state, another city easily. That's why I think given our large population size, given the potential for this disease to spread, why we have to really first take this very seriously and implement community based actions. The other thing is that because this is a pandemic, because it is a global problem, it's other states, other places that we would normally rely on, they're facing the same challenges. And so we're really limited in terms of the ability to receive outside assistance, outside aid, because the entire system is being stressed and challenged by this global pandemic.  For example, I asked myself seeing your movie, I asked myself, gee, when was the last time I actually shook somebody's hand? And I have to say it was probably maybe two or three weeks ago. And somewhere in there, I made a personal decision for good cause, of course, that I wasn't going to shake anybody's hand anymore. I was going to put my hand on anybody's shoulder anymore, and I wasn't going to get close to anybody anymore. As time goes by, those things are, you know, ingrained in me. And in my daily activities, to the extent I see anybody anymore anyway, because I'm mostly at home. And I think that a lot of people, you know, have taken the juice. They are doing this more and more. They realize, not at first, you know, it's training films like that, you know, that sort of filter into the community and change the way people think about these things. At first, people were rejecting and making light of it, you know, not treating it as seriously and not changing their way of containing themselves and their family and friends. But now, I think it is actually working, and probably because it's scary, you know, that people do not shake hands. They do not touch each other, even at home. Even at home, I have a different view of other human beings now, don't you? Well, again, it's hard to make a lot of these sorts of changes, and it takes some sort of adaptation in terms of our cultural practices, in terms of our social practices, and so forth. And we're also really concerned about the impacts this has on business, on education, on communications. And so I think we've had to make very drastic changes very, very quickly. The closing of schools, the shift online, or web-based web delivery of training and education. And many types of business transactions have to be done now by virtual means. And I think these are really dramatic, sudden changes that were triggered by the disease and also the different response efforts. Yeah, it may be long term. In one of these days, hopefully the curve will be flattened and there will be fewer cases or, you know, minimal cases and fewer deaths or minimal deaths. And we'll be hopefully back to normal, but you know, during the abnormal, you know, we're changing our way of looking at things. And I wonder what it will be like when somebody gives me the all clear whether I'm going to start shaking hands again, because I know that viruses like this don't go away completely.  And I mean, if that isn't clear on this one, it really should be. And so I think my whole life I'm going to be a little reserved about shaking hands and, you know, I'm getting close to people. And the other thing is you talk about transactions and business deals. It's very interesting. I was, you know, I was having a meeting and my meetings changed in the last few weeks to sitting at a table from sitting at a table to either online or if it was in person, I would ask the person to walk with me.  And so your droplets or his droplets or her droplets are not, you know, they're not contaminating me or there's no risk of that. But so the meeting is a different experience.  And you've been shaking. It's a punctuation point. It's a statement that, yes, I know you. I trust you. We're going to have a serious, you know, trust type discussion here. And when it's over, you're saying, you know, we've had a good discussion. I mean, now we have to separate, but I will think good thoughts about you going forward. You can't punctuate like that anymore. It's so weird. You start the meeting without shaking hands. You end the meeting without shaking hands. It's like you never really had a meeting at all. And it's like, where is the meeting? Will the meeting please start or stop? And I think this is very fundamental for at least questions society, maybe the whole world now about how we deal with each other, how we transact with each other, not only in business, but in personal social experiences as well. And it may be permanent, at least in our lifetime. What do you think? Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the recovery is like. And this type of disaster is really different from the other types of hazards and threats that we've worked on, you know, like hurricanes or tsunamis or earthquakes, you know, where there's really a clear sort of beginning, middle and end. It's more of a kind of a creeping, complex disaster with many different layers. And also we're seeing that it, you know, comes in waves. It may start up again. It may come down. It may go up and down. And, you know, it may be permanently with us. And in some ways, it may be an issue kind of like the other creeping long-term threats like climate change and sea level rise and other types of environmental change. And so I don't know that there are equivalents to not handshaking that are going with that, but there are these other transformational aspects of adaptation that I think are important for us to understand. But right now I think the most important thing that we have to do is to protect ourselves and especially protect our first responders and medical personnel who are on the front lines of response. And part of doing our part is, you know, not shaking hands with people and minimizing contact and reducing the spread of the disease so that our capacity does not get overwhelmed. I mean, I think we have only something like 3,069 hospital beds in the state and then only 340 ICU units. And so very quickly our medical capability can get overwhelmed. And what we have to do is to reduce the contagion, reduce the incidence of people getting sick and infected and requiring hospital care because we're very, very concerned about the capacity of our system to respond and handle this. This is a different thing for the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center because you've been talking about those special disasters that happen all of a sudden that are extreme. Some of them are climate change or extreme weather, resultant climate change. This is different for you. And I wonder if you think about this possibility, Carl, because you're so steeped in climate change is that maybe there's a relationship between climate change and the coronavirus. I've seen a couple of articles for that proposition that, you know, the change in temperature, the change in the environment, you know, all kinds of changes in the environment, they may have led to the development of the mutation of this particular virus. Have you thought about that? Oh, sure, sure. And I think that there are those important connections that we need to study and understand and work on. I mean, I think that there are more immediate phenomena that relate to globalization, urbanization, the development of transportation networks, which are directly related to how the disease has spread, where it has come from and where it goes and how it moves. And so that's some of the research that we're engaged with right now. I mean, it's really kind of odd in some ways because for most of the time we've been trying to increase public transit. We've been trying to increase accessibility and mobility to promote shared rides, to promote, you know, ways in which we can move more people more efficiently, more quickly. And it's like putting people together in proximate situations, isn't it? That's right. That's right. And, you know, I've been on your show talking about transit, talking about bus, talking about all types of really important programs that, again, we have to kind of reverse engineer and to think how do we know our knowledge, or how do we apply our knowledge about how these systems work and function, and how can we then use that to prevent the transmission and spread and contagion of the disease. And so that's been really interesting and challenging in terms of the things that we do. But I want to really go back to the other point because I think it's really key because, especially for our community, we need to think about ways in which we can support our first responder emergency management and especially our medical frontline people. And the first thing is we can do things to not get sick. And then the second thing is that we can really reduce the spread of this disease. And what's the most insidious about this is that there may be people that have the disease but don't know it. And so they could be spreading the disease unknowingly. These are nice people. These are nice people. They've taken care of themselves. They haven't shaken anybody's hands. They've been washing their hands all day long. And yet this is insidious disease can make them super spreaders. It's very concerning because where's the fairness in that? There's no fairness in virus. You can quote me. Right. Right. But again, that points to really the importance of these types of social distancing actions and trying to reduce the contact and the potential spread of this. And then also getting the information systems that we need to support effective mitigation strategies. And we've known about these for some time. I sent you for advanced reading for today's discussion, the CDC guidance on pandemic planning. We know a lot of this already, what to do, how to do it, how to bring it up. But we've not only disinvested in the science and the technology in terms of understanding all of these connections. We haven't invested enough in preparedness. We haven't invested enough in terms of dealing with these types of complex emergencies. And so that's why I think it's really important for us to, you know, use this as a learning opportunity to use this as an opportunity that we can kind of marshal the community resources and assets to really identify the actions and steps we can take to minimize but also mitigate. And then ultimately, how do we recover from this? Because it's not like an earthquake. It's not like a tornado that, you know, it's clear that it's going to take more time. And so those are the challenges that we do need to think about. Well, thank you for helping us. That is helping the community through this. I mean the national community because you are national. And I want to say that we will take that movie and play it on our overnight playlist. We'll do what we can to disseminate it and I assume you'll be making other movies. You're not going to play them in movie theaters because we don't do that anymore. But you will send them to us and we'll play them in the notion of getting the word out because it's very important that we do that. Some movies, Jay, we call them instructional videos. I do think another thing that we do need to focus on is our supply chains and supply chain management, not just in terms of emergency goods and services, testing kits and personal protective equipment and other things like that. But I think that there are larger supply chain issues that this particular event, disaster or crisis have emerged. And so I think that that's another kind of big takeaway that we do need to think about. How can we increase our self-sufficiency? How can we shorten our supply chains? How can we have more backup redundancy, more flexible systems for delivering needed and important goods and services to island communities? Yeah, and how we can deal in the emergency when the supply chains are threatened or broken in some way, not only supply chains and goods but also in services. Anyway, Carl Kim, a professor at UH in urban planning and also the director of the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center. Thank you so much for coming on. I hope we can see you again in this context and stay well. Yeah, you too and I hope I can see you at the opera soon in person. Yes, thank you, Carl.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jazzebyskatesprac.com. We just sold out 2023, Panini Select Baseball, 12 bucks K-Spade Precursion number 14, or number four, sorry, not 14, but four. And here we go guys. So again, we had a little deal if someone bought the Orioles and the Reds, we'd give them four different teams for free. Brewers were like $70, Pirates were like 70 bucks, Cardinals 70 plus, I think the Rays were like 60. So pretty darn good deal. Basic, look at four teams. And probably same amount of buying, maybe one of those big teams, so pretty nice. This is the only select case I've seen back there guys, so we don't really have any more, but let's have some fun with what we got here though. All in on America. I'm sure if it's bad in Utah, I mean, I'm living in Los Angeles and you'll find out. What's around like over there Logan, tell me how high it is over there. The third place is in Los Angeles, you could definitely live affordably, but you get what you pay for, you know what I mean? So you can easily find like a one bedroom, one bath, from a small apartment, stuff like that for probably $13, $1500 if anything, if you're lucky. Like I said, you get what you pay for, so probably not in the nicest neighborhood, probably not the nicest apartment complex either, but they say, hey, you got to do what you got to do right as long as you got a roof over your head. But you want to get into like the nicer ones that a little bit more safe for security-wise, you got like a complex with potentially some amenities, and then it's easily over 2000, you know?  I rather spend a little bit more too and feel a little bit more comfortable and obviously have a nicer space, you know? So I'm kind of the same way too. But yeah, I'll show you then. But yeah, you know, try to stay up a little bit here, especially there in California, so that way when the opportunity arises in California to get a house, definitely that's my plan too. Look, when the rent is cheaper than owning a home right now in California, that's telling you something's gonna happen, right? Some houses here in California, especially ones that are ready to roll, insert an area code easily over $600,000, $700,000, and then you're talking like 8% interest rate as well. If you wanna find a house in Los Angeles County, you can find one for probably under $500,000, but it's a very beat up, a very beat up. I mean, my in-laws, it must have been a blessing for them too, my in-laws left there at the right time. They left during the pandemic in 2020, got their nice little house for them, three bedrooms, two baths, with a little pool in the backyard, right? 225,000, can you believe that? And I don't even know what they got for their interest rates, but I guarantee you it wasn't much. Probably 2%, 3%. Now, just three years later, I think that house is valued at like over $350,000 now. Imagine, it's crazy. I'd move out of state in the heartbeat. But you know, working here with Jasper, unless we relocate, if we live in here until, until either we're done or I retire, I guess. Maybe we go that long. And house is worth, depending on how much money we win. One second, guys, I gotta finish this right in the back. Women this month? Time if I really wanted to, but I didn't. I probably would have made a lot of money, honestly. I remember a buddy of mine telling me, like in 2016, 2017 to like, getting on that. And even then, it wasn't really high, but imagine to what it was probably in like 2020, 2021. I just didn't want to learn and take the time to do it.  I don't really trust all that stuff, man. But you know, if I end up being wrong, then I'll accept that. All right, one more guys and then we'll go through the first six. We got Jim Bunning to 25 for the Detroit Tigers. It's been a DUI. And with these aren't numbered, Archie Vaughn. Tamar Johnson Sparks, though, for the Pirates, gots going to, Pirates going to Matt, got those for free for buying the last two big teams. Brennan Davis, Hollins, how about the patch auto there? Phillies, going to Greg. And Colton Kouser, youth explosion for the Baltimore Orioles. That's going to Matt. Last spot mojo, double last spot mojo, I should say. David Cone for the Mets. Do the cruise unstoppable. Wacom! Nice one there for the Red Sox to 49. Eight home runs are in this box. Jack Morris to 149. Ichiro Color Week. Nice. That's going to go to the Seattle Mariners. Carlos, straight up. Jack Jackson-Joe for Detroit. Piazza. Zach Veen, Marcel Amair. Barry Larkin to 30 for Cincinnati. That's nice. Again, Reds. Last spot mojo, Matt. Whoa, sorry, I didn't expect to do this. Francisco Alvarez, youth explosion for the Mets. James with that one. James Wood. Fergie Jenkins to 75. South for a lick. Nice for the Milwaukee Brewers. Another one of those last teams for free if you bought the Reds or the Orioles. And there you go, South for a lick. Patch autograph to 99. That's another Matt. Paul Nero for Texas. And Diego Cartella for the Dodgers. Rodriguez for Minnesota. Twin's going to Mark. We can if you watch him in. I mean, got to sell some full spots besides the filler. But we definitely can't. Mark McGuire or White to 149. It's a quick break too, honestly. It's just two boxes of gilded, two boxes of tier one and two boxes of hip raise. So probably barely even 10 minutes or anything. Junior coming there for the Reds. Another one of those free teams. Mason Hour, Tampa Bay. Patch. Yo, I'm going to Greg. Another thick one coming up out of 25. And James Wood to 23. Nice, two color patch and autograph. And I think that's another, that's actually Washington. Washington Nationals going to John Gaddy. Brooks Lee, patch auto. For Minnesota. Mark. Juan Gonzo to 149. Evan Carter for Texas. Ryan Errol, Richie Ashburn for Philadelphia. Now we're going to go by the checklist of that. That could be a Philadelphia A, which goes to the opening days, but we'll double check those. Dave Bancroft, Jim Bunning. And Tamar Johnson to 99. Another free team right there for you, Matt. Some guy named Ryan. Never heard of that guy either. Comeback Kings, baby. Zach Meen, patch auto. Nice little pinstripe in there too. How about a rock he's going to mark. Okay, Greg, I'm just saying I'll double check it but the sorted team has a list of all these players. So don't worry, it's going to go to where it correctly goes. So as long as it's a Philly, but I know there's some Philadelphia A's probably in this. So, so I was like to tell people, but it'll go exactly where it's supposed to.  Pedro Martín, especially when it's like older products like this, where they feature players from the past. All right, next box. And a green, how about a Randy Johnson, Seattle Mariners out of five. What about that? Three out of five, Mariners. Nice break for Carlos. Got a color wheel each run out of Randy Johnson green. And that's also like a diamond level, which is probably one of the harder ones to hit. Jackson Job. This is a great, I wouldn't ever know I've never been to this in Beckford. I've only been to the length a couple of times. I don't even think I've been to the hockey and basketball arena. Just football. I mean, I just like Eagles and Philly, it's what I'm saying. Francisco Alvarez, Babe Herman, and then Jason Dominguez. And a Jordan Walker, whoo, 49. Look at that. Again, another one of those free teams going to Matt. Good Lord, Matt. I mean, I know we haven't had much Ellie or any bigger like Jackson holidays for the Orioles, but man, you're raking on the other teams though. What a great deal. Goose gossage. So there we go. Let me see if I can also lower the brightness on this match. It's way too white. South Fairlake, who won 49. And Matataka Yoshida. I don't know if that's kind of coming off from the top. It looks like it is, unfortunately, but whoo, look at that. Nice three color patch. So again, a little bit peeling off the little acetate finish on the back, but still a nice one there for the Red Sox and Mark. I'll be with Junior. Brady House, this Martinez. Four boxes to go, guys. And again, I don't know if we have any holders coming in, did we? Yeah, we have three. It's got one there. It's got another one there. Nice. So we're down to like maybe sold out or like two left. Actually sold out. There you go, nice. So we did sell it out. Sweet. So we'll be doing that flux after this, guys. Paul Canerco. And we got Emmanuel Rodriguez. And a 23. Harry Ford. Nice patch right there. Seattle. Marcella Mayer, number to 149. James Wood. Nice patch autograph for Washington. John G. Drew Thorpe. Yuri Perez, tonight at nine. From Miami. Miyami, gonna Carlos. And a gold. Cade Horton. That's for the Chicago Cubs. Cubs with that one, that is Carlos. All right, nice box. Yuli for Philly. Yuri Perez to 199. Pereira, youth explosion for New York. Number to 99, looks like Yankees. Tider there, Drew Gilbert. Out of 25. Mason Hour. What a Chipper Jones. Matt Medlin for the Braves. Number to 49. We got Frankie Frisch. Bring more to go guys. Harry Ford to 149. We got Gavin Williams. Alopas. Ellie DeLaCruz, little relic. And a Jim Rice for the Boston Red Sox. Mark with that one. Kelly Martain to 99 for Cincinnati. Reds, another one there for Matt. Bill Mazurowski for Pittsburgh to 149. Tyler Locklear. All right, two more boxes guys. Zebra and it's Carlton Fisk for the Boston Red Sox. Red Sox with that one. Diamond Field as well. Nice break for you Mark. Anna Tamar Johnson, little relic to 199. I think it's 199, yeah. Cade Dowdy to 99. Toronto Blue Jays is John. Frank Veola. That's for Minnesota. Redemption, come on Ellie. James Wood for Washington. Allen Harrison in Fuego. Got a tie-dye, Barry Larkin for Cincinnati. All right, here we go guys. Let's see what we got right here. Select Swatch Signatures Tri-Color Prism, car number 23, Ricky Henderson. Let me double check actually which Ricky's under because I did play for a couple teams though. It might be Oakland though. Actually everything's Oakland. So this was a Select Swatch Signatures. Yeah, that's Oakland. Oakland, going to John. Here guys, good luck. Junior coming arrow to 49. Nice one there for the Rays.

Hello! My name is Alexander Starostanov. I'm from Russia. I took 120 hours Tesla course with videos and tutor support. I'm a student of the linguistics university. My major is English and education. That's why the material presented in the course wasn't entirely new for me, but I liked how the material was structured. Also, I enjoyed completing test assignments which helped me to revise my knowledge. I hope that the Tesla certificate will help me to teach abroad.


This short screencast will familiarize you with the basic concepts of CSS and how you can use it. For this reason, we will proceed with the following steps. How to get started and which editor to use, how to type CSS in an editor, how to include CSS styles, and how to view the results of changes, and how to include external style sheets. Then we will finish with how to continue. First of all, you need to know how you can create and edit CSS styles. Internal styles and embedded styles are inserted within HTML documents. Thus, they can be edited the same way as HTML documents. The same is true with regard to external style sheets. This means you can either use a simple editor which you have installed on your computer, or you can download an editor from the internet. We will use Notepad++ Portable again because it highlights HTML and CSS syntax. A more professional and costly program is Adobe Dreamweaver, which allows, for example, the insertion of styles and properties which use the correct syntax of CSS by default. Finally, we need a browser again because this is how we can see the styles of our document and how we can display changes in our styles. All CSS instructions have the same basic structure. They consist of a selector, which is an HTML tag in this example, H1. They consist of one, two, or many more properties which are included in the curly brackets. All of them are referred to as declaration. The properties take a value. Some values can be written in different formats, but you will learn about that later on. You also need the double dots, which have to be used to separate property and value. In order to separate one property and its value from the next property and its value, a semicolon has to be used. The integration of CSS is possible in three different ways, via inline styles, via embedded style sheets, or via external style sheets. As shown in the diagram, there is a hierarchy in these different style definitions. It is due to that hierarchy that you do not need to control all styles, but always consider the browser defaults. Let us now look at these three possibilities in more detail. What you need to know about inline styles is that their usage is not advantageous, because the content is mixed with its presentation, which is why it should only be used rarely. But if you want to use inline styles anyway, you just need to insert the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS property. Embedded or internal style sheets are applicable to the document which contains them. They consist of a set of style rules which are defined within the style tag, and the style tag is inside the document header. The embedded or internal style sheet should only be used in case a single document has a unique style. External style sheets consist of a set of rules which are contained in a separate file. This separate file is saved with a suffix.css. In order to apply a style sheet to an HTML document, the link tag specifying the URL of the CSS file has to be added within the document header. By including the relevant link tag in all HTML pages of a complex website, it is possible to define the entire website with a single style sheet. Thus, it is ideal whenever you want to apply the styles to many pages. Let us now experiment with these different possibilities. First of all, we apply the inline style in our very first HTML document from our earlier sessions. Just open it in your editor. The editor I used is notepad++ portable again. And open your document. First of all, we want to change the display of our level one headline. So we need to include the style attribute within the opening tag of the level one headline. I'm going to change the color to purple and I'm going to change the font size. And I'm going to include a border for my level one headline. It should be one pixel thick, solid and have the color blue. And that's it. Now we have to save our HTML document again and check for changes in the browser. And as you can see, my level one headline has become purple and it has a nice blue frame and the size of the font also changed. Now I want to change some other tags, the P tag for instance, and it's the very same story. I insert the style attribute within the opening tag of the P tag. And I'm going to use the very same syntax and I'm going to change the font family this time. To bedana, Geneva, and San Serif. I'm going to save my document and I'm reloading it in the browser. As you can see, the font family has changed. So that was pretty easy, wasn't it? Let us now work with the embedded or internal style sheets. And as you already know, it needs to be defined within the style tag which is inside the document header. So you can open your style tag. It has the attribute type. The type is text slash CSS. Close the style tag. And within the style tag you can apply the regular CSS syntax. We have our selector. We want to change the body. We use the curly brackets. And in there we write our properties with their values. I want to change the font size for now to 10 points. I want to change the color to blue. The text declaration is supposed to be underline. And I want a text transformation because I want everything to be displayed in uppercase. So let's save our document again. And open it in the browser. So as you can see, every letter and every writing within the body has become blue, underlined, and uppercase. Except for the level one headline because there we defined an inline style and the inline style is at the top of the hierarchy. So this is why the level one headline is still purple and 22 points large. Third possibility of including style sheets is the external style sheet. For this reason, we will open a new file in the editor in a second and type in the selectors we want to change in there. Let us use a new division first of all for the entire body of the HTML. Its name is content and close the division. And within our new CSS document, we will refer to every tag that is within the division with the ID content. So now we will go to our new document and define styles for several tags within the division content. And I suggest we change the level one headline, the paragraph and the display of the anchor tags within our basic document. So first of all, we need the right CSS selector for the IDs, which is the hashtag. We need to refer to its name, which is content. And then we can refer to the HTML tags we want to change. So let's start with the level one headline. Then we can continue with the basic CSS syntax. In this example, we want to change the font size to 30 points and the color to blue. We want to change the P tag as well. The font size should become 14 points and the font weight should become bold. And next tag we want to edit is the anchor tag. Since we have a hyperlink in our HTML document, we can change that too. And let's assume we want to get rid of the underlined hyperlink. Then we say text declaration none. And we can also use a special effect, namely when somebody hovers over an anchor tag. Then we can say we want the color to change, for instance. Now after we've made these changes, all paragraphs, all level one headlines and all anchor tags within this division named content will be styled by these new style selectors. Now that we typed the CSS styles into a separate file in our editor, we need to save the document. You need to make sure that you use the correct suffix, which is .css. Another aspect that needs to be considered are the file names you are choosing. Like in HTML, you cannot capitalize letters, you cannot use spaces and you cannot use special characters. If you do, it will cause errors and problems. Let us now save our new document with regard to these criteria. Make sure you use the same file name in the URL of your link in the next step.  And now you can immediately see that syntax of CSS is highlighted and everything is okay. Now, as I already mentioned, as a second step, we need to link our CSS document to our respective HTML document, which is in my case my first HTML document. And we need to include the link within the document header. We need to give the URL of the style sheet, which is in my case styles.css, because I didn't use subfolders or another folder hierarchy. And now I need to save the document again and I can reload it in the browser. And as you can see, my headline has become blue. My text within the paragraph is bold now. And here is my hyperlink. It's not underlined anymore. And when I hover over it, it becomes pink. So that's it. Similar to HTML, CSS code should be structured visually too. It will give you a better overview over the properties and their values and to which selector they belong. This is why we are going to insert a number of line breaks and line up all of the properties that belong to one of the same selector. And that's it. Another point worth consideration is the use of comments, especially when you're still learning new CSS properties. It allows you to write any text into your document without disturbing the CSS syntax or the display in the browser. Writing comments in your editor is fairly simple. You just need the slash and the little star. Open it and close it. And as you can see, by means of the highlighting of the syntax, everything is still correct. And within these signs, you can write your comment such as division, name is content. In case you don't memorize it, you can also write comments for yourself, like a hover means whatever you need. And as you can see, it helps you to structure your CSS files. If you have very long documents with many, many style declarations, many divisions, many classes, you can insert comments to memorize all of your declarations and your ID names, for instance. So now you have learned everything about the use and integration of CSS styles. And always remember, changes to a CSS document are only visible in the browser after saving the document again and reloading it in the browser. That's all for now and have fun getting started.


The Community Engagement Studio, CE Studio, is a consultative model for engaging community stakeholders in research. It has been successfully implemented by researchers across multiple disciplines and settings. Researchers who have utilized this model report improved relationships with community partners, increased understanding of local needs, and greater success in recruiting participants. Additionally, community members report feeling more involved in the research process and having a better understanding of the research being conducted.


There she is. Okay, Avani, we're going to hear your presentation for the Diversity Genome Research Center's concept. Good afternoon, everyone. I am presenting the Diversity Genomes Research Center concept on behalf of my colleagues for Jetta Schools, the Training, Diversity and Health Equity Office, and the XMRO Research Program staff who helped develop as well as refine the concept. So, just as a reminder, a couple of years ago, NSRI completed a multi-year process to develop the strategic vision for the next 10 years of human genomics, and a part of that process was developing guiding principles and values for human genomics. We also developed an action agenda for building a diverse genomics research workforce, and thank you to Dr. Benar who touched on the action agenda. Okay, so one of the reasons for the action agenda is that the genomics workforce is not a reflection of the U.S. population, and we now know that diverse investigators bring innovative ideas and increase objectivity and research. And research has shown that minority serving institutions award 25% of all science PhDs, MDs, and health professional degrees to Blacks and Hispanic students each year, but NSRI does not have a strong track record of funding minority serving institutions. So, what we did was we went back and looked at NSRI's grant funding in the last 10 years, and these are grants funded to minority serving institutions in the last 10 years. As you see, we've only funded 63 grants in fiscal years 12 through 16, and that's out of about 100, about 850 grants that were funded during that time. In the next five years, fiscal year 17 to 21, we funded a little bit more, but we increased our grant funding to about 1100 grants during that time. So, if you then look at the institutions that receive less than 25 million research project grants, so removing the institutions that receive over the 25 million, which we looked at, and that was mainly three institutions that qualified as minority serving institutions because they fit the criteria of having a 25% minority student population. They did not have a mission to serve underrepresented populations. When you remove those three institutions, it falls down to single digits. So, if you focus on the minority serving institutions with a historical mission to serve underrepresented populations, we've only funded one in the last 10 years, and that was one HBCU with Historically Black College and University. We have not funded any tribal colleges and universities in NSRI's history. To increase the diversity in the genomics workforce, we are proposing the Diversity Genome Research Centers. These centers would support the development of innovative genomic research projects, the formation of interdisciplinary research teams and infrastructure building. It will also enhance research capacity for diverse genomics workforce and increase access to diverse populations in genomics research. The scope and objectives for the concept are to increase diversity in the genomics research workforce by supporting genomic research infrastructure enhancement, enabling the formation of interdisciplinary research teams, and facilitating cutting edge genomic research at minority serving institutions with a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations. These centers will develop two to three interrelated research projects that address the critical issues in genomics. And the research experiences and capacity building will be built on top of each of those research projects. The centers can propose one or more of the scientific areas that NSRI supports such as genomic technology and methods development, genome structure, genome function, genomics of disease, the use and impact of genomic information in clinical care, healthy research and or computational genomics. So I'm just going to show you a schematic we're proposing two funding opportunities. So potential minority serving institution applicants if they have a developed genomic capacity and infrastructure, they would be able to come in for the full scale genome research center opportunity. These centers would could include cores for administration research capacity and community engagement actually they would include cores this that'll be required, and these cores are structured around those genomic research projects. The minority serving institution will need to be the lead for the cores, as well as the research projects and they can request up to five years total for this funding announcement. The solutions that are a little bit less developed. We are, we are providing a phased approach to becoming full scale. In the first phase, there will be planning and development. It will set their milestones as well as have administrative review to assess the capability of becoming a full scale research center. If the milestones are met, and the review is successful for the center, they then will go on to be full scale. The milestones are not met, or if they don't receive a good score at review, we're hoping that the planning and development will enable the institutions to still be able to be competitive for other RFAs are one opportunities, or funding from other organizations. So in the phased approach, the first phase, they could request up to one to three years. And in this phase they would develop plans for the full scale center and that includes formulating protocols procedures and equipment needs, recruiting staff, identifying providing solutions for any problems that they foresee and testing protocols and procedures. In phase two, they could request up to five years and that depends on the length of their phase one, then in phase two they would implement the plans developed during phase one and they would need to operate at full scale by the second year of phase two. The UG three UH three opportunity the total project period is seven years. So we are allowing collaborations with research intensive institutions and industry, but 70% of the center budget will need to go to that lead MSI. The collaborations will be required within the research center so within the institution, and they will be encouraged between the diversity research, the diversity genome research centers, and other NHGRI consortium collaborations must provide the complete capacity needed to carry out the research projects as well as the didactic and practical experiences, and there will be two meetings a year within the consortium. The successful diversity genome centers would carry out innovative genomic research studies, the foster career development enhancement for trainings and investigators to enhance institutional genomic research capacity as well as genomic research infrastructure, computational strategic capability within their institutions, though enable investigators to be successful in competitive extramural support for genomic research outside of the center funding, as well as establish sustainable partnerships with stakeholders to increase collaboration and disseminate the resources and findings from the centers. So I touched on the strategic vision and action agenda at the beginning of the presentation, and I just want to point out that this proposed program aligns with the guiding principles and values as it will maximize the usability of genomics for all members of the public. It champions the diverse genomics workforce, as well as embracing the interdisciplinary and team oriented nature of research. It also aligns with goals in the action agenda, it'll develop and support training programs and networks that connect undergraduate and graduate education to careers and genomics, as well as supporting training and career development for transition programs that lead to independent research and careers in genomics. The budget for the concept is pretty modest is 42 and a half million over seven years, we have built in scenarios for phase for not all of the phase one or ease to achieve phase two, and phase one would be, we're estimating about 300,000 total costs per year to support the planning and for the full scale center and then they would full scale would be 2 million per year total costs with 500 direct costs in the first year of their full scale for any equipment and infrastructure needs. I'm happy to answer any questions that you all have our discussions are Kyle brothers and gail Jarvik. Kyle, do you want to start out. Sure. So, I'll just start by saying I'm a big supporter of this concept I think. You know, I don't think you said it have any but it's in the concept itself that one in four science doctoral degree and health professions doctoral degree. So, I think that many of you black and Hispanic students are put out by these organizations so you know really highlights that when, if you're trying to build a diverse genomics workforce, these organizations are going to be key partners in doing that. So I think setting up a, an opportunity for these organizations is really super idea. So, maybe just goes without saying that many of these organizations have very strong relationships with underserved communities, they're located physically in underserved communities many times. And so again, just another great opportunity to achieve, you know, one dimension of NHG rice strategic games. I do have one suggestion is sort of a supportive suggestion. I'm going to be a UG three FOA for the developmental centers and phase one currently have $300,000 proposed budget. But I really would encourage you to consider increasing that. I just think about, you know, the aim of building infrastructure these organizations, a lot of that work. Organizations with really large endowments or sort of, you know, a lot of extra funds floating around, you know, there's a lot of in kind and call share kinds of contributions to that infrastructure building. And, and I think some of these organizations might not have that kind of opportunity in the way that some other larger or well funded organizations will have so I really think it will be important to help the internal stakeholders at those organizations to be able to make the case that they're bringing in funds that are worth the organization also investing in so it strikes me that 300,000 might be too, too little to really create that momentum at the awarded organizations so anyway, that's really the only suggestion I have otherwise, I think this is a great idea. Thank you so much, Kyle. Yeah, so I like Kyle I'm extremely enthusiastic about this proposal it's a very, very challenging problem and this is a really creative approach to try and increase the diversity of the workforce. It makes sense to have these institutions be the leaders in these I think it makes sense for them to be able to partner but not, you know, not just in name but actually, you know run the work and, and so I think it's a very, very thoughtful approach. I particularly like the ability to have a planning grant. I don't necessarily think that more than 300,000 honestly is needed for the planning phase because the next phase is higher but I don't have a strong opinion either way about that but I think that the ability to have a planning phase is essential for this kind of a program for people who are going to enter a new territory for them that we want them to enter and then the other thing. I mean this is really like what do I like best about something that I love but the other thing that I'm really happy to see is the emphasis on community engagement. And I think this is something we are all trying to learn to do, and that this program could really have leadership in that area so I'm very enthusiastic about that so, as I said, you know, what do I like most. Thank you, Gal. Any other comments or suggestions. Lisa Parker's hand is up Lisa. Okay. Thanks, Stephanie. I had a question about sort of sheer numbers of potential applicants. So, do we have a sense of how many institutions would qualify as or be described as having more developed genomics research capacity at this point in time. I did do some engagement of minority serving institutions to understand the needs and the, and the equipment and what, what kind of genomics research was going on and there is a number of institutions I would say, out of the institutions that we engage in, so we're in the teams that could possibly come in I would say, maybe eight to 12 institutions could come in, who, if we have the cut off as not receiving more than 25 million if we. That's more than that if we don't have a cut off. But there is a significant amount of institutions that would be able to come in that do have the infrastructure if they would like to come in for this funding opportunity. Thank you. And I am now seeing I'm only seeing three people at a time so I don't know if how or if the car or first or if I'm missing someone else. It's how first and if the car. Okay. So, I too could not be more enthusiastic about this program. I'm hoping that efforts will be made to ensure that the collaboration between less experienced and more research intensive institutions is more than casual that will likely involve an extensive travel budget, and also funds to support term visitations between the institutions. So, I think that that should be included as part of the budget. There are also, it seems should be an effort to encourage networking between funded centers, you know they'll each have their own strengths and weaknesses. And my, I can imagine that they would complement each other. So I hope that there will be many opportunities for them to to join with each other to share experiences to even share in their sources sources of mentorship. Great. We'll make sure to ensure to write that into the funding opportunity. Thank you. How if the car. Sorry, I had a suggestion about areas of research emphasis I don't know whether you will outline those in the RFA, for example, you know things that come to my mind readily are what was already discussed was community engagement but also by a banking and informed consent. I presume that you know when they when there are applications those probably would be included but it'd be great to have additional cohorts of underrepresented groups. My question was, are these institutions. Any of them able to provide access to native peoples or indigenous peoples. We were leaving that open on and we are encouraging travel colleges to come in for this opportunity. But we're leaving it open as to which populations they study we're assuming because as cow pointed out a lot of the institutions fall within communities that are underserved there will be a large underserved populations within their studies. That's an area of desperate need. I know it's a very tough. This program could help kind of get them into the fold for population genomics research. We do plan to. If this concept goes forward into funding opportunities and it's published we do plan to do a lot of outreach to these institutions to make sure they're aware of the funding opportunity. Thank you. Other questions or comments for evening. Okay, can I have a motion to approve the concept. All in favor. Anyone opposed or anyone abstain. Okay. Thank you, Ebony. Thank you.


I've heard some people compliment Joe Borough. I've heard other people compliment Justin Herbert. Obviously that's really high praise. I actually got a mail bag question last week about like where he would stack up over the last four classes. So going back, not just the 24 class, but throwing in 23, 22 and 21. I said, you know, and I threw out to a handful of executives. I said, where would he rank if you had all of those quarterbacks together? And the universal answer I got was, you know, other than these two him, him and Caleb, the universal answer was other than Trevor. They're the two best. And one person had Caleb in front of Trevor, but it was generally speaking, Trevor one Caleb to Drake may three. And I think one of the things with Drake may that you're not guessing on as the type of person he is, and that you're going to get an A plus person. He's his dad was a quarterback at North Carolina. His brother was a starting power forward on the basketball team there. Like he comes from good stock. He he's by all accounts, the right legacy, the right type of kid as much as you don't want to throw a young quarterback into a bad situation. I do think if you have the first or second picked the two quarterbacks in those spots are probably too good to pass up on.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 Random Number Generator. The features of this peripheral, which is widely used to provide random numbers, will be covered in this presentation. The Random Number Generator, or RNG, integrated inside STM32 products provides random numbers which are used when producing an unpredictable result is desirable. Applications can benefit from the RNG to increase the randomness of numbers or to decrease the possibility of guessing certain values. It is certifiable NIST SP890B with a guaranteed entropy of 128 bits. The RNG peripheral is based on continuous analog noise that provides a random 32-bit value. It is certifiable NIST SP890B with a guaranteed entropy of 128 bits. When configured to pass NIST SP890B certification, the time between two sets of 432-bit data is either 412 AHB cycles. If FAHB is less than F threshold or 256 RNG cycles, FAHB is greater than or equal to F threshold. With F threshold equals 1.6 times FAHB. For example, 77 MHz if FRNG equals 48 MHz. When CLKDIV is different from zero, FRNG must take into account the internal divider ratio programmed in the RNG. The data ready flag is set in the status register when a set of new random data is ready and validated. It must always be used. The RNG automatically performs NIST SP890B compliant health tests on the noise source. A seed error current status flag is set in case of an error. A clock error current status flag is set if the RNG clock is less than HCLK clock divided by 32. This check can be disabled, especially when the RNG clock is initialized low for maximum entropy. An interrupt source can also be enabled to indicate an abnormal seed sequence or frequency error. This simplified block diagram of the RNG shows its basic functional and control modules. This architecture is compliant with NIST SP890B specification. The random number generator is based on an analog circuit made of several ring oscillators, whose outputs are sampled, then XOR'd, to generate the seeds that feed a digital conditioning block that is able to produce 4 32-bit random numbers per round of computation. The sampling of analog seeds is clocked by a dedicated RNG clock signal plus internal divider so that the quality of the random number is independent of the HCLK frequency. The contents of the conditioning block is transferred into the data register through a 4-word FIFO. The data ready flag, or DRDY, is triggered as soon as the FIFO is full and is automatically reset when no more data can be read back from the RNG. In parallel, an error management block verifies the correct seed behavior and the frequency of the RNG source clock. Status bits are set and an interrupt is triggered if an abnormal sequence is detected in the seed or if the RNG frequency is too low. The RNG frequency error check must be disabled if the RNG clock is fixed below AHBCLK32, for example, for quality reasons. TRNG block must be properly initialized with this sequence. 1. Write in the RNG CR register the bit c-o-n-d-r-s-t equals 1 together with the correct RNG configuration. 2. Perform a second write to the RNG CR register with the bit c-o-n-d-r-s-t equals 0, the interrupt enable bit i-e equals 1, and the RNG enable bit r-n-g-e-n equals 1. An interrupt is now generated when a random number is ready or when an error occurs. The true random number generator is only active in run mode. It can be kept enabled in sleep and low power modes to avoid the latency at initialization time. It is disabled for the other low power modes and is completely powered down in standby or shutdown modes. The RNG can be used for a wide range of applications, including cryptography, games, and statistical sampling. For example, all the security of cryptography algorithms are connected to the impossibility of guessing the key. So the key has to be a random number, otherwise the attacker can guess it. This is a list of peripherals related to the random number generator. Please refer to these trainings for more information if needed. For more details, please refer to application note AN-4232 about using the NIST statistical test suite to validate the random numbers generated by a selection of STM-32 MCUs.


Welcome to the NTN Nightly. I'm Nisha Charles. This edition stops stories. A high-level EU delegation towards the OKEU Hospital ahead of its opening. The Government of St. Lucia's Crime Reduction Strategy is bolstered with a cohort of special reserve constables. The RSS is recognized for its contribution to rebuilding Dominica post-currican Maria. All that, bless the NTN, Nouvelle, Accuello. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Shastney is this week leading the St. Lucia delegation to the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where climate change and small island developing states will be among the key issues. Prime Minister Shastney, who is also the current Carracom Chairman, addressed the Historic Climate Action Summit, an initiative of the UN Secretary General on Monday, September 23rd. During his statement, Prime Minister Shastney expounded on the establishment of a resilience fund as he highlighted the recent devastation in the Bahamas caused by the passage of Hurricane Dorian. The Prime Minister is expected to deliver his statement for the general debates of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, September 27th, 2019. During the Prime Minister's absence, Minister for Economic Development, Housing, Urban Renewal, Transport and Civil Aviation Hon. Guy Joseph serves as acting Prime Minister. And prior to Prime Minister Shastney's departure for the UN, he led a high-level delegation of European Union officials on a tour of the Owen King E.U. Hospital ahead of its official opening. Chenel Nouvelle has the details. Top officials from the European Union recently paid a visit to St. Lucia, where they, among other things, tour the Owen King E.U. Hospital. On the agenda for the officials was to follow up on the status of the hospital and discussions on how St. Lucia and the E.U. can further strengthen bilateral relations. European Commission's Director General of International Cooperation and Development, Sophanoman Servicy, indicated that the hospital is one of the E.U.'s biggest investments in the region and a concerted effort must be made to operationalize the hospital. My point is not to look backward. The point is to see with the Prime Minister or the authorities how this can start working and be effective in the interest of the people of St. Lucia. Health care is a big challenge. I discussed that with Prime Minister Goncalves, also in St. Vincent. Some regional cooperation maybe would be usual, but this is not the point. The point now is, part one of my talks here is to take stock of what is going on in the hospital and to encourage and to put also our availability if further assist, technical assistance, capacity is necessary in order for this hospital to become operational as quickly as possible. Prime Minister, the Honourable Alan Chastney, indicated that health care remains a top priority for the Government as it seeks to ensure that quality health care is afforded to all's inclusions. The Prime Minister explained that achieving this is not without its challenges. We have a lot of people right now who currently just don't access health care just for lack of being able to afford it. And so while we speak in terms of universal health care, we're a long ways away from actually being able to deliver on universal health care. And what has happened to St. Lucia is that we were not even meeting the financial requirements for health care when we were doing it the old way. Now that we're modernizing the plan, so you have this facility, you have other polyclinics and also you have a hospital going in the south, the cost of those operations are now going up considerably. And so therefore it has caused us to have to really put in a very comprehensive plan. So basically when you were saying an evidence-based process, I can say to you that everything is part of this evidence-based process in terms of how we're going to be able to afford to do it because we're really seeing that health care, even if we're going to introduce a health care insurance, is going to significantly increase the amount of cost to the government. The EU Commission is also seeking to explore avenues of cooperation with St. Lucia in various areas including employment and job creation. The EU officials are expected to visit other countries in the region, including Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. For the Government Information Service, I am General Norville. The Government of St. Lucia's crime reduction strategy has been bolstered with the injection of 14 new special reserve constables. The Government of St. Lucia has placed citizen safety high on its medium-term development agenda as it seeks to reduce serious crimes by 45% by 2022. Part of the approach is to focus on better policing, which will ultimately include more offices. Prime Minister Hon. Alan Shasne on Friday, September 20 addressed the graduating class of special reserve officers and said that the Royal St. Lucia Police Force has responded positively to the changes. There was no security system, no way of communicating to each other. The standards of the facilities was poor. The amount of equipment that we had was inadequate. The court system almost seemed like it was against us rather than with us. And you have two choices. You can sit and complain about that or to do something about it. And my government has made every effort to increase the amount of resources that the police have. And today you are evidence of that next step. The next step in recognizing that we need to have more people, more officers in the streets. It is intended that the 40 special reserve officers will be assigned to key hotspot areas including castries, Miku, Viewfort and Souffre. Commandant of the Police Academy, Le Center Daisy Dolore, welcomed the graduating class. Today is an important day for the Royal St. Lucia Police Force and St. Lucia by extension because you have added to the number of the police officers patrolling the streets of St. Lucia. On behalf of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force, I welcome all of you to the commencement exercise of the special reserve police course number one of 2019. The initial training exercise lasted for three weeks. And this is the NTN 90, please take a class. I was raped by my uncle when I was five. I was raped by my spouse. I was raped by my nanny. I was raped by a family friend. He said he wanted to correct me. I was raped by my down low manager. I, I, I, I, I am HIV positive. Stand up, speak out. Welcome back. The Organization of American States met in Bahamas on the 18th to the 20th of September 2019 to deliberate on strengthening that creative economy and cultural sector with the aim at repositioning the culture sector to secure sustainable development. The forum discussed measuring the culture sector's contribution with use of cultural data and the cultural satellite accounts, enhancing the capacity of business and enterprises in the creative economy through greater financial and technical support and safeguarding cultural heritage by developing intersectoral linkages for sustainable economic growth. The forum was timely for St. Lucia as the Ministry of Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries prepares to revise its national cultural policy and look into measuring the impact of tourism, culture and creative industries on the economy. St. Lucia was represented by Honorable Fortuna Belrose, Minister for Culture and Creative Industries and Ms. Donalyn Vitti, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism Information, Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries. St. Lucia Police officers attached to the Regional Security Service, the RSS, have been recognized for their contribution towards their building of Sister Isle Dominica, following the catastrophic passage of Hurricane Maria two years on. Alicia Antoine reports. Members of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force, who served in the Regional Security System, were honored for their involvement in the relief efforts towards Dominica post-Hurricane Maria. The honorees served in the RSS during the operational period of September 12th to December 27th, 2017. Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Hon. Alan Shastney, was on hand to present the Regional Security Medals to their respective officers. Chairperson of the RSS and Minister for Home Affairs and National Security, Hon. HM. Francis, expressed gratitude towards the officers for their contribution. The Dominicans were very appreciative of the service that St. Lucia rendered to them. I think you had an advantage on other islands in that you speak the curial language. And I think that Dominicans were very, very, very pleased about this. When you're walking down to come to meet you guys, all you're getting was good praises from Dominicans. And they would say, Thank God the St. Lucia is ahead because you all were able to gel in the people. So I want to thank you all very much. The medals that you will be given today is just a small token of our appreciation. Severin Moshary, Commissioner of Police, expressed gratitude to the Regional Security System for the support rendered to the officers during the operational period. And it is nice to see that not only that our police officers are there, not only did they participate in just securing and protecting the citizens. I think there was a lot of community policing in that even during that time, we had our police officers assisting in repairing and actually doing Mr. Prime Minister's construction work up there. And it was when the St. Lucia went up there that one of the police stations was really taken care of. So it is good to know that we have very good soldiers in St. Lucia who when they're called upon can assist not only in peacekeeping but can also assist in rebuilding the community. Police Commissioner Moshary noted that six officers have also joined the RSS to provide assistance to the Bahamas. From the Government Information Service, I am Anisia Antoine reporting.

Minister of Touristic Affairs, a collaboration and funding for travel, officially established a plan of action to embrace resources effectively to reduce the amount of gas that is consumed in the country as a result of the diverse work that has been done with the action that has been taken. Plan of action, that's it, to pay attention mainly to what is being done in the way that is being done. Plenty of recommendations for government and public agencies to establish diverse equalization and construction changes. There are also new recommendations for hotels and other businesses that need to be protected. To prove it in this way, you have to control the level of the machines that serve the business. You have to do it today to establish a sustainable way of buying. That's it. You have to develop a project for tourist transformation that will lead to the program of national development with Kika. It will be launched by the Foundation of Touristic Affairs. The original project for the national development will be formally launched by the Ministry of Touristic Affairs in the Republic of Fede. The Ministry of Tourism has also declared a commitment to make sure that I will succeed and that I will be successful on September 19, 2019. 2019. 2019. I'm going to pay attention to the collaboration and organization of food in the National Union, the FEO, to organize an atelier to develop a national fishing network. The initiative is to guide the sector to facilitate action to protect and support the fishing sector in the life of the people. That's it. The second chief of the fishing department, Thomas Nelson, is taking the objective to review the national fishing plan to help establish a network to support the development of the national fishing sector to help the people who are living in the country with the help of the FEO. That's it, Thomas. The next chief who will be in the description of the fishing that has been done without regulation and without the need to perform the activities of the Salah and the work of the fishing that has been done without implementation of the protection of the health and business of the Salah with the help of the climate that has affected the fishing industry in prison. Officially, the fishing and business of the FEO Dr. Yvette D. Wadi will continue the FEO to support the government to implement the FEO to keep the fishing alive in the country. This is particularly an action to develop the documents of the FEO specifically to support the fishing sector in the country. Dr. Wadi has said that fishing is a very important source for the national economy in the country to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the life of the fish in the country. Dr. Wadi has said that the FEO is a very important source for the national economy to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe for us to eat and to improve the fishing costs to ensure that it is safe As a result of that, I have improved the way I read and added the words that I have increased to 16%. I also want to compliment the development program to help children learn how to read.

The conference this year has been fantastic. We have some 500 people from more than 80 countries, and if you compare that to the first conference in Niagara Falls, Canada, it's probably 50 or 60% increase in the number of people, and I'd say double the number of countries. And I would also say that the level of participation, enthusiasm, dialogue is the best we've ever seen. The fight against counterfeiting is never-ending. And we've, besides this conference, which I think has grown to become the preeminent conference in the world for law enforcement combating intellectual property rights crime, we've also now launched a series of brand protection conferences which are smaller events that bring property rights holders together with law enforcement to talk about more specific kinds of issues. And I think the more that we can create a public-private partnership and the more that we can help to foster a dialogue of law enforcement people around the world, the more successful we can be combating this crime. And certainly we know the criminals are very good at networking, and the internet has made it easy for them to do so. Our way of combating that must all certainly include networking. The IP Crime College was another terrific collaborative program between Interpol and UL. And taking the knowledge that Interpol has about how to train IP crime investigators, combining with our ability to produce and distribute online training and educate law enforcement and customs and other folks all around the world about how to more effectively combat IP crime. Now in the future, we're looking forward to having it launched in Chinese to have it be part of the regular training in China. And if we have today 6,100 users, I think we can look forward to the future of doubling or tripling that number.


Okay, once again continuing our tutorials on jQuery. Let's quickly review from last time If you look at our code over here, we have three div tags Each with their own IDs ID of my one my three my two my one by default The display is none which means it's hidden which is this two lines of text here We do see this header and this paragraph here as you can see over here Up here in our script in our head we have that we're loading up the jQuery script Which I showed you how to download in the first tutorial and then here We're saying find an element because it's got a dollar sign and parentheses the element in this case would be our document Once our document is ready meaning it's loaded We're going to run a function that function is going to find an element with that's a div tag with an ID You can see the pound symbol here meaning we're looking for an ID of the div tag And we're going to find the one with the ID of my two which is the down here the one that has the paragraph click me in it and Just as it says when you click that item, it's going to run another function that does three things it's going to Find the div tag with the ID of my one and it's going to fade it from wherever it's at in this case It's it's invisible. It's going to fade it up to 50% of its Brightness, I'm not sure if that's the correct term, but it'll fade it to 50% of its visibility over a three second period and then it's going to find the element of that has the div tag with the ID of my Three and it's going to fade it which is already a visible. It's already at a hundred percent It's going to we're not giving an exact number here. We're going to say slow to Point to which is 20% of its visibility Then we're going to find the element of this which is the element that was clicked in this case It's the div tag with the ID of my two and we're going to fade it out Completely over three seconds. So let's run that So as you can see that faded away completely this faded down and this faded in but only to 50% Today we're going to be looking at making elements Slide down and back up so what I'm going to do here is I am going to Delete that Div tag because I don't need it. I am going to remove it from our script here so right now we have Similar code as before we just removed one of the elements. Oh Refresh that did I save this There we go One fades out the other fades in to 50% but instead of fading in and fading out I'm going to remove the fade out so our click me button stays there and in fact, I'm going to move it So I'm just going to cut it and Paste it up here So it's on top Still have it so it's fading in the one thing we remove where it fades out and instead of Fading to we're going to change this to say slide down Once again, I'm going to just remove the options from within this function here. So now We start off. We have click me, which is our element inside our div tag here And we have set when we click that that it's going to find the other element and slide it down And it's not going to be that impressive right now But we'll do that and you can see kind of display things sliding down if we give a background color to our Div tag here using CSS It will make it a little bit more visible. So what we're going to do is we're going to say Semi colon here to say that we're working with a new little option for this CSS here. We're going to say Brack background dash color Colon and then you can give it a lot of different options here. I'm going to say light blue And I'll just give it a light blue color. It's going to be really ugly We're going to work with it here So there you go. You can see that it slides down It's kind of rough because it slides down more than needed and that's options. You can change in the CSS I'm not going to get Into that to really at all in this tutorial But just so you get the basic idea I click this it slides down So how do we make it slide back up? Well, we're going to add in another function here So after this function, we're going to say dollar sign parentheses So we're looking for another element in this case. We're going to say the Element that is a div tag with an ID the pound symbol meaning ID of my one Which is our object that's our element that's sliding down and I'm going to say dot Click so when that is clicked then we're going to run a function and What is this function going to do? Well, this function is dollar sign parentheses looking at an element again. We're just going to type this no quotations here Which means the element that was clicked so it's saying itself when my one div tag is clicked Then we're going to affect my div tag one Div tag with my one where I'm going to say slide up And you have the semi or the parentheses there and a semi colon now When I click click me Did I refresh this? Oh Got to put our close our little Function there with a parentheses and a semi colon now refresh over here Click here it slides down click that again does nothing because it's already slid down But if we click anywhere inside this blue box It slides back up once again It's kind of rough because it does the padding thing and that's something you would change with CSS that will look into more But I just want to give you the basic ID also This is just one way of doing this there's actually a toggle option Which we're going to be looking at in the next tutorial to where if you click click me it will slide it down If you click click me again, and it's already down It will slide up all in one command rather than making different functions for each thing and having to click somewhere else because normally you know You would have something that says click here to drop down. It would be a drop-down menu, so But that's the basics of this I Hope you're enjoying these tutorials. Please check out films by Chris calm.
