good evening everybody and thanks for your time tonight. So my name is Riccardo, I am an urbanist, I choose the world very carefully because I'm a designer and a specialised master in master planning but I like the term urbanist because it explains that it's not just when you work on places it's not just about the spatial dimension of it it's also about understanding its economic side, its social side and not just about designing pretty things so I'm always keen to insist on the importance of urbanism rather than just design. This introduction is very timely and very useful to our team because we can introduce ourselves properly, we've been working on the local centre and the enterprise zone since the end of May now. Hopefully I'll see you many times as we go through the process I'm going to show you later a little gantt chart that explains the different stages of what we'll be doing and of course the aim is to start a conversation with you and get as much input as we can in the development of proposals for these parts of Norstow. I work for AR Urbanism which is a studio that specialises in complex urban sites we've been operating since 2007. We are based in Hackney, at least is the right part of London in terms of northeast and it's very straightforward to get to Norstow. We work across the UK and occasionally abroad and we've been appointed as I said in May to provide advice to the council in the preparation of the plans and proposals for the local centre and enterprise zone. In terms of let's see if I can move forward. Yes, so in terms of the brief from a technical point of view we are supposed to assist the district council with the preparation of proposals for RIBA stages zero and two. What it means is what follows on the slide. So we need to help to get to an agreement on a vision to develop the local centre and enterprise zone and therefore develop a master plan. I'd like to insist on the word agree because it's a co-design exercise. It's not the classic consultant that comes in, brings their idea and then hope there you go, you have a nice plan. Places do not really go very far if you try to shape it that way. It needs to be an exercise where there is an agreement between multiple parties and the community is leading that. At least if we're really serious about sustainability in the long term. We will have to look at on the basis of this dialogue with the community at design principles and broad high level options for both enterprise zone and the local centre. Frankly speaking I don't like to distinguish between the enterprise zone and the local centre. It's one place and it's going to be about blending the two so and blending the two within the wider area so I like to call it local centre if you don't mind the rest of the presentation at least. We need to and what we've been doing for the past month and a half try to digest all the wealth of evidence that is available because yes we are joining the team, the wider team also for the district council now but we need to recognise the amount of work that has already been done here. So we're catching up in terms of understanding of the place. We have been already spending time also on site in the previous spell of summer that we had. We have been using our bikes to and and walk around as well quite a lot and we need then to come up with to find solutions to the request and the ambition of that we will register during the process. Now it's not me controlling the screen just to make it clear, thank you. We are reviewing in to respond to the clear aspiration of our brief which is to really have a truly sustainable local centre here. We are doing a review of benchmarks of national international best practice for these type of places and we are starting our consultation with an engagement rather say with stakeholders and the local communities. I will give you later some details on how you can engage with us about this. At the end of this engagement and co-design process we are also preparing an outline business case to explain how this place is going to be delivered because it's as important as design it. There's little point of design something that is really not possible to deliver. Let me see if I can, I need help here because it's not changing slide. John, thank you. So in terms of the site today and in fairness for the first stage of the development it's not really about us coming and talking to you about our ideas it's really a listening exercise that we are we're doing and so I didn't want to present a lot of those slides with design I was just keen on two in particular this is just an initial summary of what's going on on the site and what we observed from our initial understanding and I think the most interesting elements I think are connectivity first of all especially for pedestrians and cyclists. The local center is in an amazing position is on the way between the parkway, the park and ride and the established phases of development and by the B1050 so it's in a really pivotal position and the connectivity from all these development to these locations whether they exist in the neighborhood or the future neighborhood is paramount in order to activate and make sure that that place really serves and is accessible by everyone. There are things on site we're not operating on a blank canvas even if you see a green field there are still things that we should take into account things that you see including mature trees that we're trying to assess right now what it's possible to do with them without having to displace too many things there is ecology there are aspects that relate to flooding and drainage that we need to take into account and there is there are possible areas of contamination so we're working with engineers to understand what the full what is the full picture we're very keen to understand how we can connect really provide a small connection to the station to the to the north to the bus guided bus service and how we can if you like make the most of this connection that is do you see light blue running north south here that runs just outside the local center this is the the proposed busway and there are local other local bus services that touch the central at the local center but we will have to find ways to make sure that we don't miss that opportunity to feed from from these these connections and these are just very early thoughts and another important element I suppose I should mention now is how we can connect and integrate with a wider network of green connections and parts for pedestrian cyclists and and especially how we can enhance and contribute so it makes sense in the bigger picture even if the land use on this location is boy is going to be about community and social infrastructure and employment it doesn't mean that we need to stop all these connections and things are happening around just at the boundary of the site we need to bring them in and try to find a way to continue that language that is I think very successful then will be even more successful in the future but we need to provide that bridge now in the previous slide I think we skipped one sorry John I'll ask you to go back one and this is just a very abstract probably picture it shows the catchment area of the local center so the local center is at the in the middle of the picture here where my cursor is and it shows different you know catchment areas of 400 meters 800 meters typically walkable distances now at the moment we already have about 1500 units within this area so it means that it's already quite a crucial amount in a critical amount of people that rely and will rely even more on this location in the future and if we are able to provide these nice walking routes we probably also limit traffic to the development and of course is going to be about accessing from elsewhere also the employment zone and part of that will be on vehicles although we really will try our best to stimulate and enhance access via sustainable means and this is going to be even more a compelling case once all the different plots for residents are developed in terms of the amount of people that we rely on the look on these local center now I will try to go to slide down it's working this is our program so as I mentioned we're starting now the dialogue with you with everybody all the stakeholders the business community the residents and we have we envisaged that we are we're going to remain in this listening phase and early thinking until the end of the summer effectively so you see in green here in this picture these two numbers one and two at the basically now from next week and then at the early at the beginning of september we're going to have dedicated workshops with residents and with local businesses we have also launched a online survey later I will put in the chat in the chat the links for these events at least for the first event that is going to take place in the second half of july the first step as I mentioned is going to be us listening to to you and also explaining what we're finding through our analysis and try to validate our understanding as I said we try to catch up you are the best source of information and understanding of the place and we are going to do the technical side the diligence on the technical side but we need to converse these two things to be able to produce later proposals that are meaningful so we're going to do this and then at the beginning of september and at the beginning of october we will start testing early ideas based on those discussions that we had so far so in phase two we're going to start testing ideas and in phase three in in october we will start and try to bring things together into a coherent plan and and of course test it with testing with you and how well we're doing and the level of support for these type of proposals it's going to be an important testing ground for us and we will then amend plans and seek cabinet approval and then developed a more detailed level of design we'd like to keep it at conceptual level not drilling too much detail get an agreement between all the different parties on the approach and then develop a more detailed design that could support the council and help the council to submit a planning application in outline so again not detailed design but in principle in at the beginning of next year in 2022 um let me see if I'm lucky with the slide changing yes so we are taking a look at different levels I'm a master planner so my role is if you like the gel to bring the different disciplines together and try to find the synthesis from a spatial point of view but and so we as a our urbanism we have the matter we have the master planners but we have planners we have a very good clinical and the black we have okra who are a dutch landscape design company who has already worked in the uk i really like the work for their attention for the sustainability side that the integration of walking and cycling to the landscape proposal and streetscape proposal we have civil engineers expedition and we are which are part of a useful useful project I think the the full name of the company the mother company is we have an important role for prd who are regeneration specialists and they are looking already at delivering and viability we want to be realistic on what is achievable and we want them to find ways to get it delivered we're not interested in the design that is just nice on the drawing board and then it doesn't really deliver on the ground um we're looking again utilities we have architects as well supporting us taking a look at briam so it's a sustainability standard that you use is using the industry but they also are if you like critical friends in terms of architecture that will challenge us as a designer as an internal critical friends steer or transport specialist to try to help us to push the uh movement and access strategy and uh yeah and then of course we're looking at heritage as the council's before me mentioned it this is not a place that comes out of nowhere there is a local history and we need to reflect that in the proposals as well and of course there are other technical elements to be taken into account in this let me see so these are the first two dates for the residents and the business workshops that we have organized i'm going to copy now these information in the chat so you can click and subscribe please please take part in this the more we are here from you the more we can uh respond to your uh challenges i always like to say you know we uh with specialists specialists on these things our job is to listen elaborate and then get back to you i know already that we're not gonna say yes to every single things that you're gonna say but if we say no to something we'll definitely provide an explanation for that and we're really keen to um bring bring you in the journey to explain fully why we're doing certain things and not others and of course we give plenty of opportunities to challenge us on that it happens that we have done silly things in the past i'm not trying to say but because of these co-design process then we can act and amend we don't expect to be always right or anything like that and we normally get interesting insights and ideas from from the community and local businesses i rather probably shut up because i think i've used my time i hope i uh i can i've transmitted my passion for the project we're very all very excited and we really now that we finish in the due diligence and reading a lot of what's has been done so far really move to the next stage which is interacting with you and discussing ideas thank you


Moments ago, Blake Griffin caught up with the media.  I thought he was obviously fantastic, very, very good.  He'd only played 12 minutes at the time. He was like four for four, five for five from the free throw line. I think five rebounds, four assists or something like that. It's just like, you know, after missing two weeks, two months, and then coming back and like looking that comfortable, I just, I mean, it's crazy.  So for me, it's just about getting the reps and getting used to it. Bruce Beck with NBC New York. Blake, after your dunk, your team has got incredibly excited. I just wanted to know what it means to play with this group and the way that they're supporting you. They've been fantastic, man.   So, you know, anytime you have that, it obviously makes a transition like this much easier. So I'm very appreciative of all of them. Doubted, brooklynats.com. Hey, Blake, in the second quarter there, you guys had started to get some separation and then KD came in and everything just kind of took off. I mean, how much of that was attributable to him or what else did you see in that second and third quarters where you guys just kind of did whatever you wanted off that split? Yeah, I mean, a big part of him.   I'm not forcing it.  But he just changed the game, you know, for our offense and defense. Well, thank you, Andrews with ESPN. Blake, I know there's been a lot of discussion about chemistry and the overwhelming sentiment is, well, we have so much talent, it's all gonna work out. But just getting Kevin back and having it go the way it did tonight, is that how, in what ways, how does that make you feel? Does it reinforce it? What is that lead you feeling? Well, I mean, it's a good step to getting there. I don't know that my sentiment is, you know, it's all gonna work out. We have work to do, you know, and we have to, you know, focus and put the time in and make sure that we have cleaned up the areas that we need to clean up. I mean, you know, you've seen a lot of talent on teams lose before. So that's not really, I would say that's the locker room's mindset. Eblik Dinstine with WFAN. Hi, Blake. Zarian Lewis came into the game with a lengthy streak of 20 points, 50% shooting, and you guys halted that. What was the key? And I think everyone wants to know what it felt like to take a charge from it. Yeah, team effort on that, you know, he's a great player. So, you know, just making sure we're physical. Try not to give him anything easy and, you know, make him earn everything, but, you know, he's a great player. Charge, you know, I've taken a lot of charges in my career. I don't think twice about it.


Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am so excited. I've been planning this for a couple weeks now. I'm going to be doing my major Pat McGrath Labs Spring VIP sale. I'm LOL-ing because I just completely forgot to say the word haul. So this video is a haul.  And then I'll also be talking about some other recommendations that I couldn't haul because I already own them. Take advantage of, I think today should be the last day of the sale. Hopefully this will help you pick out some of the last second items that you've been wanting if you were interested. And if that sounds good to you, then just keep watching. So the major details about the sale, unless they extend it, the last day of the sale should be today. Hopefully I got that right and hopefully they extend it anyways. This is the Spring VIP sale.  And I know this kind of is around the same time as the Sephora VIP sale, but for most of you who are interested in Pat McGrath, this is a better deal, you know, if you aren't a Sephora VIP Rouge or if you spend over $150, you actually get 25% off. So that's why I would recommend going for this sale. But of course, you only have one more day at least to do that. But if you've been planning on making a few Pat McGrath purchases, this might be the better choice for you. So I just wanted you to be aware of that. Something very special. You guys know I posted on my community tab my cart of what I purchased when I first saw that this sale happened. And then Magic Links reached out to me and they were kind enough to send me a gift card and let me pick out some more items from this sale. So I was just going to do a small haul at first, but now it is a really majorly large haul of Pat McGrath stuff. And so I took advantage of the gift card and I tried to up my lip game from Pat McGrath because I don't have a lot of her lip colors. So I definitely purchased a lot of lip colors. So be prepared for that. And I just want to say thank you because the reason Magic Links noticed me was because you guys shopping through my affiliate links, which is so amazing. I don't expect any of you to shop from them. But if you do, I seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the support that you are showing me just by shopping through those links. Trust me, I noticed. And I'm so thankful for those of you that do go out of their way to use my links. As you know, those links and that support I get from that aspect of YouTube is what allows me to continue to create new content on your products. So those of you who do go out of your way to shop through my links, thank you so much. I appreciate the support you're giving me and I don't want to get too emotional here, but just know I am thankful. And it's because of you guys that these opportunities and these videos, they all come to me because of what you have given me. I didn't explain this well enough in the video, but if you don't know what Magic Links is, that is the company that I use for all of my affiliate links. And I never thought much of it. I mean, I thought the affiliate links themselves was as much as a gift to me as possible. And so the fact that they reached out to me and was like, hey, here's a gift card, I was like, I don't know. I'm so thankful Magic Links, thank you so much for noticing me and reaching out. I have been waiting for this package to arrive. As you can see, it is a big black box, which means it's a lot of Pat McGrath stuff. I'm going to lay everything out on my table so that I can get this video as organized as possible. So we are going to go in order of eyes, then face, then lip products that I've purchased. Now remember, this is a mixture of gifted things as well as things that I've personally purchased by myself with my own money. So I have everything laid out. We're going to go in the order of eyes, face, and then lips. Like I said, the lips part is what's very heavy in this video just because I lacked that the most from Pat McGrath, but let's get into it. So for eyes, I wanted to take advantage of the sale, so I did order a bundle of the eyeliner and mascara. That bundle did include the Permagel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil. I haven't heard the most amazing things about this item in particular, but I haven't tried it. And of course, you guys know, I try to educate myself from all angles of Pat McGrath's brand. So I did just want to pick up the black pencil to try. And what I've heard, it's a pretty average black pencil. I'm always looking for a black pencil to grab. So I didn't necessarily need this, but it just kind of was a nice bonus that I added into my cart. And I just, I don't know how, what do you guys do with your boxes? They're just so pretty. I can't get rid of them. And then also in the set, we have the Fetish Eyes Mascara and then the Permaprecision Liquid Eyeliner. I enjoy the liner. I do find that it does dry out a little bit faster than I would like, but the formula is really nice. It's very matte. It's very black. It's very easy to work with.  So I just got this while it was on sale because I know this is something I would be repurchasing anyways. So I got this little bundle. And then I also picked up a new Blitz Astral Quad. I got Ritualistic Rose. I already have this, but I picked this up as a gift for somebody else. And I do want to show you 25% off. I couldn't not. And this is just an item that so many people love and appreciate because it is the Blitz formula. All in one little cute quad. And I just think this is a very good universal color story as well. So if you've been wanting to try Pat McGrath and you really want to try her Blitz Astral shades, which is what she is known for and what I think is the most unique thing about her brand, these Blitz Astral quads are perfect to pick up because you don't have to spend $125 for one of her big palettes and you get to try specifically her Blitz Astral formula. Face items, I did not pick up very much, but I did pick up the Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Concealer. You guys know I'm already obsessed with this, but I actually picked this up in LM12 because I wanted something to work more as a spot concealer for me because I do actually really like the way that this concealer covers my blemishes. So I thought while I can, why not pick up a deeper shade, which I don't know if this will actually match my skin complexion, but I want a few shades darker in hopes that it will work out. Then I also picked up a new of the Blurring Under Eye Setting Powder. You guys know I'm also extremely obsessed with this powder. It's one of the most blurring silky powders that I have in my collection. I am so obsessed with it. So I got it in medium so that I can set the rest of my face.  Honestly, I should pick up a couple others so that I can put these in my makeup kit because I think my clients will really, really love that powder. The last thing that I picked up was the Skin Fetish Highlighter and Balm Duo. This is just something that I didn't have and I wanted to try. The reason why I hadn't purchased this before is cream highlighters. They don't really do it for me. I'm not into cream highlighters, but I figured this was my opportunity to try it out. Oh my gosh, this packaging is so luxe. Let's see if it'll focus. So one side, this is the highlighter side and then this is the balm side. I actually have no idea how to use these, so I will have to try and figure that out. Hopefully this is really good. I'm excited to actually try this because this is one of the few things from the line that I have absolute zero experience or knowledge in. We're already moving on to the lip section. I picked up altogether six lip liners. You guys know these are one of the best lip liner formulas in my opinion. They're just so creamy and they last a really, really long time. So this has so cute packaging. So this one right here, we have Supernatural, which is just like a perfect beige nude color. The next one that I got was Buff. This one is more of a pinky rose kind of shade. Oh, I love this packaging. This is the packaging of Major Red. I wanted to get her formula in a red because I feel like it would really stop the bleeding and make lipsticks last forever than a red. So I mean, obviously that's pretty self-explanatory what that kind of color is going to look like. This next one is in like this beautiful kind of galaxy box. This one is 1980. I think this is the weird color that I picked up. I wanted to pick up a color that I normally wouldn't pick out for myself. Oh yeah. That's so fun. It's kind of this hot kind of magenta purple color right here. I'm excited to see what I can do with this and what kind of lipsticks I'll pair this with. I already know one of the opulous glosses are just going to be incredible with this. And then this next one we have is Ground Control. I don't know if you guys really care to see the boxes, but I just love the packaging of her stuff. So Ground Control. I put this one up top, but this is just like a really deep chocolate brown color. And this can be very intimidating if you have a lighter skin tone, but this is the perfect color for ombre lips and they're really soft so you can blend them out. And then this last one here is Bear Rose. Oh yeah. And this is definitely like the lightest pink kind of shade. Definitely a great everyday lip color. Very exciting to build on that part of my collection. So let's move on to lipsticks. Now I did purchase one lipstick trio. This is the Mini Mini Trance Lipstick Trio. In here you're getting Christy Beautiful Stranger and Flesh 3. I love her little sets of minis because they are only $25. So it's a great way to try out her formula, kind of expand your range of colors in her line as well. So if I didn't own any repeats, I tried to pick these up when I can because it's the best way to get the most colors. And $25 to begin with is a great deal. If you take another 25% off, like you really can't do better than that. So that's why I recommend if you have a small collection and you really want to build on that Pat McGrath collection right now, go online and order as much of these minis as you can because you'll get a lot. And let's move on to her lipsticks. Now I did only purchase one of her Luxe Trance lipsticks because all of those were sold out by the time that I got to it. But I did pick up one of her Luxe Trance, which I do prefer that formula because it is more moisturizing. So I think that's why those sold out fast. But I picked up Madame Graige. I thought this would be a very interesting kind of different color than I normally have. And of course her bullet formula is just so luxurious, so heavy. And let me swatch this. That's so pretty. Here's Madame Graige, which is that beautiful purple-graige color. It is so stunning. And this is a really unique color, but I can see this going with a lot of very cool purple looks. So I'm excited about that, and I love how smooth that swatch. Let's see. The next one that I have here, this is a Matte Trance. And I'm not as big of a fan of her Matte Trance. I think they're still very nice, but I just prefer the Luxe Trance. It's more comfortable on the lips. I just don't like matte colors in general. It's not Pat McGrath's fault, but this is Candy Flip. And I wanted a brighter color, and actually this isn't as bright as I thought it was going to be. So like I said, this is Candy Flip. Oh, just kidding. It swatches much brighter. So you have this really bright coral color. This is going to be so fun in the summer, which I'm very excited for. So I wanted to pick a brighter color, and I'm very happy that I picked this one out. Because this one is going to be great this summer and this spring, just to brighten up your face. So I can't wait to see what that looks like on me. The other Matte Trance that I picked up is OMI, or Omi. I'm not sure how that's supposed to be pronounced. But I wanted a more wearable color as well for my collection. And this just looks like a really nice kind of pale nude shade. Oh yeah, this is that rose brown shade that's like my everyday favorite. So I'm really excited. I can see myself wearing this color a lot. This is a great color. I'm glad I picked that one out. I also picked up a couple of her Blitz Trance lipsticks. I love these from her. I think they play a perfect role in between a metallic and glittery shade. Like she did such a good job with these. And the packaging, of course, is incredible as always. And so this first one we have is Full Fantasy, which is more of kind of like a wearable color. So this one does not seem to have much blitz to it. It's a beautiful color though, a great nude. But this one is not like the other Blitz Trance that I have. It felt very, very creamy. Maybe I'll see more of that glitter on the lips. But this one seems like just like a shiny lipstick, which is fine. I'm sure this is beautiful, but it's not what I was expecting. And this next one is Lady Stardust. So again, beautiful. And I did purchase more natural colors of the Blitz Trance. Am I missing something? Because all of the Blitz Trances that I have from before are like actually glittery shiny. These just seem like normal lipsticks to me. Nonetheless, Lady Stardust is also this really pretty nude kind of pink color, but these don't seem very blitzy to me. I mean, they look beautiful though. Somebody answered these questions for me. That's all I have for lipsticks. Let's go into glosses. We're gonna start off with all of the little mini packs. Remember, $25 for a trio. These are such a good deal. So this I actually did not pick up from the sale. I picked this up from Sephora when it came out, but I thought I might as well add it in this video. This is the Opulust Glossed Trio. So you can get this at Sephora as well for the Vib sale, but you can get a little bit more off. You throw it into a Pat McGrath sale. I haven't tried these yet. I'm very excited to see how these look. They're super glittery glosses, and I heard they were incredible. So I was so happy to see that they came out with a trio. This is the best way to try out the Formula. So I'm gonna put the swatches up now so you can see. I just don't want to open up these minis for the stuff to come flying everywhere, but this is the Opulust Trio. In here, you are getting lavender-ing, dreamscape, and naked rose. And very beautiful colors. I think that lavender-ing is gonna go really pretty with that bright purple lip liner that I bought. And then I also got the Bronze Opulence Lip Gloss Trio. So in here, you're getting Pale Fire Nectar, which is an amazing duochrome sparkly lip color, flesh six, and Lunar Bronze. So this is a great kind of more wearable set of lip glosses. So I think a lot of people are going to like this one. And then I got two of these because I'm gifting my mom with one of these because I don't think she has any of these glosses. This is the Sunset Seduction Lust Gloss Trio. In here, you have Love Potion, Sunset Rose, and Flesh Six. And again, this is just a really great everyday wearable nude gloss combination. So I love these little guys from her. Highly, highly, highly recommend. All right, so let's move on to the individual full-size glosses that I purchased. So I purchased two Opulust glosses, so not the glittery ones. And the first one that I picked up was Fo Real. And both of the Opulust glosses I got were really nude. So here's what Fo Real looks like.  I love her lip glosses. She has one of my favorite formula. They just last so long on your lips. They make your lips look so shiny. They fill in all of the lines as well. So nothing makes my lips more smooth and juicy than her formula, which is why I'm so obsessed with it. Here is what Fo Real looks like. This one is so milky and pigmented. I love it. And then the other one that I picked up was Nude Negligé. And this one I think is like, yeah, so white. It's almost clear. This is gonna be a great center of the lips kind of color. This one basically is nude, just kind of looking at it with that like kind of milkiness to it. Really pretty. I think a lot of people are going to love this color as well. So very happy with these two shades. And then the other two shades that I purchased were the Opulust gloss formula. And they come in hot pink boxes. That is incredible. So I picked up Bronze Seductress. Let's see. I haven't even swatched any of these. Oh my gosh, you guys, look at that. How incredible is that? Here we go. This is my first time swatching the Opulust glosses. Oh my gosh. That's like liquid metal in a gloss. Don't you guys know that I watch over myself when I'm editing and I'm like, I'm so dramatic. But it's fine. We all need a little drama in our life. Look how pretty that is. I love that so much. I'm so excited to see how these look on the lips. They look very, very promising. And the last thing for this entire haul actually, this is the Opulust gloss, of course, in the shade Coral Liaison. Coral Liaison. It should be right. Oh, this is beautiful. Look at that. How stunning is that? Let's see how she swatches. Oh, I love this. This has like a pink and gold shift to it. You can see that. Now I want to own all of these Opulust glosses. And I haven't even put them on my lips, but they look so stunning. So that is all I have for the haul. But I do want to talk about some other things that I do recommend if you were interested in shopping this sale today, picking up some last minute goodies. As far as complexion goes, I do really enjoy her foundation. I don't think it's worth $70. But if you can get 25% off, that is a good time to purchase it. I really like her foundation. It's very lightweight, comfortable on the skin. It just kind of evens your skin tone, gives you about a medium coverage. I really like her foundation. So I think for 25% off, I would purchase it. So I do recommend that. I know there's a lot of opposing opinions to mine, but I like the foundation. So I recommend it. The concealer, of course. I mean, I've talked about that enough. Concealer and the blurring powder. The concealer and the under-eye powder have been my favorite new items that have released in a long time. Like my love for them runs so deep. Those are like the main things as far as complexion goes. I of course recommend the mascara. Eyeshadow palettes I think are going to be the big heavy hitters that most of you are interested in. And if I didn't already own all of the eyeshadow palettes already, I would have picked up a bunch if I could have. So the ones I recommend, let me just grab them for you guys. Of course, anyone that you're interested in, I highly recommend. They're all great. But of course, the big guys that I recommend are the big mothership palettes because it's such a good deal.  So the one that I recommend the most just because I find it to be both the most wearable and one of the prettiest. I find this one to have the best balance between wearable but also allowing you to be artistic. That one of course is the bronze seduction palette. It's just my favorite of all of them. The perfect balance. Like you can get a wearable look of it but you can also really jazz it up, spice it up. If you're looking for something a little bit more wearable, the Midnight Sun is a really great one as well. I like it because you have a pop of purple in here. But again, you can also get really wearable looks in here as well. Like very, very neutral colors. These first four scream bridal to me and then you have these to kind of mix it up but they're also still kind of wearable. And then this one I just did a tutorial on and you guys loved it. This one is the subversive and a lot of you find this one to be the most intimidating and the most overwhelming. But personally, it's one of the most inspiring in her line if you ask me. So that's why I also recommend subversive. If you can get it for 25% off as well. If you don't think you would use this as much, I mean, at least you get some sort of a discount. But if you love playing with smoky eyes and different colored smoky eyes, you're going to love this one. So those are the top three ones that I recommend. If you don't want to go for throttle and purchase the mothership ones, look into her blitz astral quads as well. Like that rose one that I showed you. Again, really stunning and a great way to take into her formula. And then as far as lips, definitely recommend her lip liners if you couldn't tell she has some of the best lip liners. If you can dip into her luxe trans lipsticks, that's what I would recommend. But last I saw they were sold out. But these guys are the main things that I do also recommend is the little mini sets. Getting an additional 25% off is just superb. Such a good deal. That is all I have for today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I hope you found it helpful as well.  And if not, of course I get it. I don't want it to seem like I'm disregarding what is happening in the world because obviously there are more important things happening. Also, if you are wondering about this eye look, I do have a tutorial for this look coming. It will be up next week. So there is something coming in case you want to see how I got this look. That is all I have for today's video. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you aren't subscribed to my channel, I hope you guys take the time to do so. And I will see you guys in the next video. Bye, guys. Have a good one.


Mr. President, my dear friend, Abu Dhabi, welcome back to Davos. We could not be more pleased than have you here as the President of Israel, and I also know that that is the case in Israel. As President, you won more votes than any presidential candidate in Israel's history receiving 87 votes in the Knesset. And you are also a man of the world, Mr. President, and we know how popular you are among the Jewish communities in the diaspora, as well as among the leaders of other religious communities in Israel. When you were the President of the Jewish Agency, you marked bridging the gap between the Jewish people and the State of Israel as one of your key objectives. You are also an important coalition builder for which you receive support from across the political spectrum. You are able to connect and bridge gaps between all of the groups in Israeli society to identify what people have in common and what unites them. And I'm saying this because I know it. We have met so many times in Israel, and I have seen you as a leader on the ground building coalitions. Your leadership was also a key factor in advancing a decisive regional political process over the past year. And you made the first-ever Israeli state visit to the United Arab Emirates in January this year. Two months later, you met Turkey's leader Erdogan, and you recently also went on an official visit to a man, Jordan, as the first one for a long time or ever. So, Mr. President, as President of Israel, you have in many ways expanded and transformed this office, and you have been able to navigate the political system while acting as a beacon for those looking to engage with the Israeli political arena. In that sense, you are a stabilizing force, and your presidential office has become a very important diplomatic asset for your country. It's so good to see you back in Davos as the President of Israel. Welcome. Thank you very much, my dear friend Borg-Brende.  I can attest to that. And I'm also happy to be here, especially as I was a GLT, Global Leader of Tomorrow of the World Economic Forum, about three decades ago. So it worked well, as you can see. So welcome, all of you. We gather here at the World Economic Forum in Davos. After a two-year hiatus, as the world continues to gradually reemerge to normalcy. Yet we realize that the new normal is drastically different from the reality we've put on hold. After millions lost their lives in the paralyzing COVID-19 pandemic, the past few months have presented us with the unfolding tragedy in Ukraine. Our hearts break seeing the tragic devastation being inflicted on the people of Ukraine. The State of Israel continues to provide extensive humanitarian support to the Ukrainian people. The Israeli Field Hospital in Ukraine treated thousands of civilians. Thousands of Israeli volunteers are operating in Ukraine and around it to assist with humanitarian aid and relief. My wife, Michal, and I have been working to promote practical post-trauma and trauma treatments and psychological therapy for the people, especially the children of Ukraine, based on Israel's unique experience and capabilities in these fields. We remain eager to address the physical and emotional needs of everyone suffering from this humanitarian crisis. This is not the normal for which we had hoped. Ladies and gentlemen, it is also noteworthy that the past two years have afforded opportunities for profound historic shift. Chief amongst them, from the Israeli and regional perspective, are the Abram Accords. A set of groundbreaking agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors for peace and normalization. The courageous efforts of leaders at the forefront and supported behind the scenes who made these agreements a reality under the auspices of the United States of America are realigning the Middle East. In January of this year, I had the honor of paying an official visit to the United Arab Emirates as President of the Jewish Democratic State of Israel. This was only two weeks after the passing of my mother, Orah Herzog. Jewish tradition provides mourners with a beautiful prayer called the Kadish, expressing deep faith in God even in times of loss and is said daily. Reciting this prayer in Abu Dhabi, praying for my Egyptian-born mother, I thought about how astonished she would have been to see her son, the President of the Jewish State, praying freely, equal among equals in a Muslim country beside fellow sons of Abraham. Ladies and gentlemen, an outburst of energy is sweeping through the region, energy of change that will dictate how the next generation grows up. I often envision the 10-year-old boy or girl, somewhere in the Middle East, who sees her or his Muslim leader speaking openly with a Jewish head of state, who sees the Israeli flag fluttering proudly as Israel's Prime Minister or Defense Minister are welcomed to summits in Sharma Sheikh Rabat Manama, and so our Foreign Minister, who sees the President of Israel warmly received at the Royal Palace in Amman and the Presidential Palace in Ankara, and who sees an Israeli President flying two weeks ago directly to Abu Dhabi to console its new ruler on the passing of his beloved brother, as I just did. A child who grows up with such a deep message of hope will mature into an inspired young adult for whom peace is a reality and not a distant dream. This hope is the greatest revolution brought about by the Abraham Accords, and we are seeing this dramatic sea change throughout the Middle East. Warm winds of cooperation, dialogue and understanding are blowing through the region. People to people, non-profits, businesses, tourism, the change is apparent in virtually every sector and is enhancing the entire region. This is true of our new partnerships with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco, as well as our deeply respected traditional partners Egypt and Jordan. The encouraging opportunity to turn a new leaf with Turkey and the evolving collaboration with countries in the region with which we are eager to formalize relations fills me with great optimism. I call on all countries and nations for near and afar to join these winds of change, partner with Israel, lead the future, and make history. Dear friends, we're all well aware that as this thrilling momentum grows, so does the motivation of dark forces be they individuals, groups or radical regimes to inflame tensions and ignite violence. Those who wish to keep the Middle East stuck in the old paradigm of hatred and terror whilst undermining the new paradigm of trust and directing the rampant hatred towards the state of Israel, its people, and Jewish people around the world. We must all make it clear to them that the state of Israel is here to stay forever. Our principal struggle currently, unfortunately, is against the Iranian regime, which systematically undermines the stability of the region. Israel and all nations of the world cannot accept Iran's pursuit of nuclear capabilities, recognizing the threat it poses to Israel and the entire Middle East. Iran spreads hate, terror, pain, and suffering. Time and again, we have seen how every country or region infiltrated by Iran has had a life sucked out of its people and its land. Prosperity, human liberty, creativity, growth, all are erased. We have seen this in Iraq, we've seen this in Yemen, we've seen this in Gaza, we've seen this in Syria, and we've seen this in Lebanon. Take Lebanon as an example. Beirut was once termed in the Paris of the Middle East. Lebanon is a country and people with which Israel has not the slightest reason for a conflict. It is painfully disturbing and sad to see the catastrophe of Lebanon, a country continuously collapsing into poverty and pain. Israel is eager to share its prosperity and successes with all its neighbors to break down barriers imposed by Iran's influence. I truly believe that if we only choose the forces of light, the path to a drastically different, brighter future is closer than we can imagine. We will always extend our hand for peace to all our neighbors, from the Levant to the Gulf, from the Maghreb to the Mashraq, from our immediate neighbors the Palestinians to the entire Muslim world, and also to the entire continent of Africa and the entire Middle East. We all owe it to our children to find a way to hear each other and to work together to expand the zone of understanding despite wide gaps and conflicting narratives. We expect of others what we demand of ourselves to be attuned to the truth, even when the truth hurts, to not buy into fake news and to dare to work together to chart a different course. In order to secure a safe future for everyone in the Middle East, we must outline a nuanced, multifaceted approach incorporating geopolitical, climatic, and social needs. We must work together regionally to fundamentally change our approach to our planet, to harness revolutionary technologies, to create far-reaching prosperity, health, and well-being for our peoples, to embrace a new paradigm of tolerance, dialogue, and trust, because together we can shape not only a new Middle East, but a renewable Middle East, a new regional alliance for stable and sustainable future, a Middle East that thrives as a global hub of sustainable solutions in food, water, and health, that serves as a source of energy, mostly solar energy, to Europe, Asia, and Africa. And it's been done these very days, a renewable Middle East, a region that is not only new in the sense of different, but is sustained by its own positive momentum, developing collaborative defense systems, joint infrastructure, and shared technologies for improving the world. So, ladies and gentlemen, too much has happened over these two years for us to go back to the old normal. We cannot treat our future as we have done in the past. We must change breaking paradigms, setting ambitious goals, and committing to overcome every obstacle. We remain fully committed to the freedom of religion and worship, to deep respect towards all faiths in the Holy Land, and of course, to upholding democratic values. Let us harness this momentous shift to foster interpersonal dialogue, people to people, heart to heart. By working with countries and nations of the region, with the support of this distinguished World Economic Forum, we have an opportunity to build a future of peace, prosperity, and progress for all the sons and daughters of Abraham. Let us work towards this renewable Middle East, cultivating a shared, sustainable future for all our children. If we lead with action, our hearts will follow suit. Thank you all very, very much. Thank you so much, Mr. President, for that very warm and visionary speech. You did mention the Abrams Accords. It is already giving yields. One billion US dollars now in trade. Only with the UAE? Yeah. We have trade with all other countries. Immense. I was coming to that. Sorry. Please. No, no, you're the president. No, no, no, my friends. So the Abrams Accords are giving a lot of yield. And how do you see this also for enlarging the scope of cooperation? Because I know you're a very ambitious man. So I guess you have some more plans to expand. I'll tell you, we are seeing it in all levels of life. I'm not speaking about just mere visits. We are seeing interest on all economic scientific innovation levels. But I'll tell you more about the personal feelings I have received two delegations last week, which showed me the great change. One was a delegation of young opinion makers from Morocco who have aligned on Facebook with an Israeli NGO of the age group. They both came and sat with us for an hour. And it was just amazing to listen to the experience of breaking barriers and moving forward and intertwining with each other. The next day, I received a delegation of Pakistani expats who live in the United States, but they are proud Pakistanis together with other members of other countries in their region. And I must say this was an amazing experience because we haven't had a group of Pakistani leaders in Israel ever in such scope. And that all stemmed from the Abram Accords, meaning Jew and Muslim can dwell together in the region, of course, with Christians who live in the region and Jews and other religions. And I will conclude my answer on this with another example because I just met with a Prime Minister of Greece, Kiryakos Mitsotakis. So, you know, Israel has an alignment with Greece and Cyprus. And Israel is signing now with Greece an agreement on interconnecting electricity. I'm not speaking about the gas, which is a big interest of many. I'm speaking about electricity, electricity which will flow through Israel to Greece and therefore to Europe, through solar energy, which will be, of course, produced in the entire Middle East. It could be from Saudi Arabia or from Jordan, from the Gulf and so forth, Egypt. And it's an unbelievable projection because people realize that there is a potential. And I think the potential is insurmountable. It's great. You also mentioned with the President that you had visited Ankara and were received by President Erdogan. Is this a deep and genuine rapprochement? It's a very interesting and well-thought-of process, which President Erdogan and myself have started since my assuming office. One of its peaks, or the peak, was my historic state visit in Ankara and Istanbul in March. But today was the next phase. Today, Foreign Minister Cevutulu of Turkey visited Israel yesterday and today for what you'd call action item visit, an official visit under the auspices of Foreign Minister Lapid. And there we have, of course, discussed the whole array of topics in the relationship. Our vision is that we should be able to have a dialogue with all our neighbors and friends in the Mediterranean, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Eastern Mediterranean can develop and work together in so many issues. Take, for example, climate or clean water, sea, the Mediterranean Sea, let alone the Red Sea with other countries. So there's so much to do together for the well-being of humanity that we are moving forward. Now the process with Turkey, of course, is not a lullaby of Romeo and Juliet. It's a conversion of interests. It's a process that is tested on the ground with many topics to be discussed. We had our ups and downs with Turkey. You remember that here in Davos, by the way? On this stage. On this stage between President Peres and President Erdogan. I'm very pleased that I have an open frank dialogue with President Erdogan, which is leading in the right direction. No, thank you so much. But there are still some important GCC countries missing as part of the Abrams Accord. That is what I said.  So you think the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is next? I think that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a very important country in the region, a very important country in the region, and we would love to see developments in that direction. But it's a process that has to take its time, I guess. And President Biden is also visiting your country in the near future. But I'm also told he is also visiting the PA? Well, I think that's only natural. It happened with all previous presidents, and I think it's important to try and find hope between the people, the neighboring peoples. But we have seen flare-ups and conflicts on the West Bank and between the Palestinians and the Israelis lately. We've gone through a very difficult period throughout Ramadan and beyond. Nineteen Israelis were butchered and killed in hyena terrorist attacks. People going with their trolleys, with their children, and somebody with an axe comes and breaks their head and kills them with families in the last attack in Al-Ad, 16 orphans, immediately. So, of course, this is the story of the Middle East. We are trying to fight terror in any possible way. These terrorists came from Janine area. We take forceful action to undermine and catch them. And we understand that terrorism wants to undermine the process which I've just spoken of, the process of a joint prospect for peace, which could be achieved with all peoples. And we understand as well, you know, Gaza is controlled by Hamas, and Hamas is a proxy of Iran. And this is the regional game we're at. No, it's very, very challenging, also the humanitarian situation in the region. I think many people also wonder, Mr. President, we saw the killing of the CNN reporter Shireen Abouaklou, we've seen this is, of course, a very sad event. And it pains me, like it pains many Israelis. It comes under the circumstances of fighting terror in Janine following the assassination of so many Israelis. But what we've done since we are a transparent nation who knows to investigate many stories and the rule of law is supreme in our land, we've offered the Palestinians a joint investigation as to the circumstances of this very tragic event. Unfortunately, the Palestinians refused. They took the body, they took the bullet, and one cannot substantiate any one of the scenarios without those facts. And Israel was open and transparent and offered the United States to join this process of investigation as well, because we pay high importance to the freedom of speech and the work of journalists and media channels, and we respect them. And there could be a few scenarios, by the way, and we've already in the past gone through cases where we were blamed and the truth transpired later that there was a lot of fake facts. So that's what I said. Don't base yourself on any fake facts. Study the facts. Facts can be studied scientifically. Unfortunately, the Palestinians refused to cooperate. Mr. President, you also have been a strong speaker on anti-Semitism. Right. And unfortunately, we're seeing this also in Europe in the 21st century. It is unbelievable, of course, but that is a fact. So what is your message to world leaders when it comes to anti-Semitism and racism today? So unfortunately, we're seeing a sharp rise in anti-Semitic events all throughout the world, especially in certain countries, but not only. And part of it is a product of hate speech, especially on the web, blaming the Jews for if it's corona, it's corona, if it's Ukraine, it's Ukraine. There's always somebody blaming the Jewish people throughout history. We know the price of anti-Semitism, how tragic it can be, how awful it can be, and it requires a staunch combat against it in various forms. Number one, of course, is legislate and adjudicate, meaning make sure that nations adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism in their laws and implement it with prosecutions and investigations. Number two is, of course, protect the Jewish communities wherever they are. It requires governments to protect. And number three, in my mind, the most important of all is to educate, to educate what it is the Jewish people, what it is anti-Semitism, what it is the nation state of the Jewish people after 2,000 years of pursuit for homecoming. And it requires a lot of joint efforts, which we are focused on myself, of course, the Israeli government, very much so, together with other governments. But at the end, it goes to the heart, you realize it, to educate people. And you come from Norway, in a neighboring country, Sweden, of yours, there were recently a lot of anti-Semitic attacks. And I'm asking myself, why and the Swedish government held a major conference, which I spoke at a few months ago, in Malmo, where there were many attacks. And I think that sets an example of how to deal with the core issues of dealing with anti-Semitism. Thank you for that important message. Maybe last question, everything good has to come to an end, but maybe end on optimistic note, because you know, I've been traveling a lot to your country. We've met many times. About time you've come back again. Yeah, I'm very eager to know in the COVID, post-COVID situation. But what always strikes me, of course, when you come to Israel, is that small country, when it comes to the area, is the entrepreneurial spirit, the Silicon Valley in Tel Aviv, and how has it been possible to build this kind of economic prosperity based on very limited natural resources? What can other countries learn from that spirit? So first of all, I must say, you know, I am here as the president of the state of Israel, the Israeli nation, which I'm extremely proud of. It has hidden light in so many facets of our society. And I, of course, I'm very proud and I love my country. And I believe that Israel does so much good to the world. And it comes from a raison d'etre of zestfulness for life. We are a nation that brought over Jews from over 100 countries into a melting pot, which has a non-Jewish minority of Muslims of all denominations, Christians of all the denominations, Druze and so many other beliefs. All of them in this melting pot, in a tiny area, intertwining and creating ideas out of the box. It's part of Jewish learning throughout the ages. It's part of the whole notion of debating, arguing, and casting doubt, which is something very deep in Jewish life. And so I very much believe in our ability to do good in so many fields. You've seen it in the corona. You're seeing it now in so many countries and underdeveloped countries and regions in the world, where Israelis are there. And of course, technology, which can heal the world and do good. So I invite all of you to come and see and enjoy. Thank you so much, Mr. President. A big applause to the President of Israel.


Monday, September 19th, Governor Andy Beshear presented Knot and Letcher County's $531,000 each to relieve strained fiscal liquidity caused by the July 26 flooding. Knot and Letcher are the first to receive financial assistance from the Eastern Kentucky State Aid Funding for Emergencies. It's also money to run new infrastructure if necessary, looking at the long-term housing. So what today is about is about those big bills that are coming due, that without some help, the counties couldn't afford. So what you saw are, I mean, big amounts, generally $500,000 and $760,000 are large amounts of money, but this is out of $213 million. So each of these counties will come back as more bills come due, the school systems will as well, and we can help them along the way. My name is Aaron Crump, Chief Medical Officer at Pikeville Medical Center. The Hardin Vascular Institute, it's really an incredible program, made incredible because of the providers, because of the technology, and because of the staff. We've truly become the leading provider of Hardin Vascular Services in Eastern Kentucky, and in fact, what we do compares to anywhere in the nation. Pikeville Medical Center, when it comes to your heart, place your care in our hands. The state has allocated over $217 million to the Eastern Kentucky State Aid Funding for Emergencies. This funding is available to cities, counties, public and non-profit utilities, and school districts. The state has also began to disperse Team Eastern Kentucky flood relief funds. So our Team Eastern Kentucky flood relief fund is now raised a little under $10 million. We've paid first for every funeral of everyone we lost. The first thing we've got to be able to do is grief together, and I don't want those families having to seek reimbursement at such a difficult moment. The second thing we've done is it's about for all 6,500, 7,000 people that have been approved for any amount of individual assistance from FEMA, we're sending a $500 check from that fund that we created. That's hopefully going to help people get through the next week, the next month. It's similar to a process we used in Western Kentucky, and no one has to apply. The checks are going out the door right now. For more information on all flood relief resources and current projects, visit governor.ky.gov backslash flood-resources.

There you go Lamar, that's what I pay you to do Lamar. And Debbie is your maddened boy. But what is up with these guys? No, we can make a super bummer, dude. To most fear, the last drop, Halloween night, boys. What do we add to our team? Do we still have 50-50 most feared? Absolutely, boys. Let me know if you guys are rocking most feared 50-50 or you have another team. I think it's a no brainer to have the 50-50 most feared if you can. I know it costs a lot of money probably to get all these 90s. But at the end of the day, you probably won't need cards for a while because these cards are gonna last a long time. Have a 92 speed, night train lane, 94 speed, things like that. So I think it's gonna last a long time. But let me show you the team I'm rocking right now. I did buy my levels, shout out to Randy Moss, bought my levels, there he is. As you guys see right there, Mr. Randy Moss. 92 speed, Mr. Moss. Game is super laggy right now. 92 speed, Randy Moss.  He's gonna get it done for us. 100% Chamar Chase. Our boy, Garrett Wilson, G. Billson, AKA my CFM general manager. There he is, you see him with 93 speed. Like I mean, like if you have this theme team, it's gonna last at least another month to where you don't even, like none of the other cards even excites you to be honest. So that's why we're rocking the good old fashioned most feared theme team. We do use only gift wrap on the Marjax and we have the new Alvin Kamara right here. We put Running Back Apprentice on him. The new Kamara, I love this card in Madden 21, so we're gonna try him here with 93 speed at Running Back. That's fast, that's pretty fast. Moss, Chamar Chase, Parham at tight end of course. And I have Slot Apprentice on Parham, which works in bunch. And I have Slot Apprentice on Randy Moss. So I have three route abilities and just gift wrap on the quarterback. No gunslinger, no roaming, nothing like that. Just gift wrap defense. We have Simmons, Sauce Gardner is safety. We have Night Train Lane out here at cornerback one. Night Train Lane, 94 speed, 92 man coverage, 84 press, Night Train Lane, six foot one. As you guys know, always one of the best players in mud every single year right here. We see him out here with the 84 block shed. He's got the 92 hip power.  And we're still rocking Kraus at corner because Kraus honestly is the only card in the game right now with deep zone knockout and deep blues on the outside of the field. So he says, plays the corner on the left and it's pretty much in the deep blue zone the entire game. He jumps things. And honestly at this point, I think him being 88 speed kind of helps him cause he's always behind the receivers. So he's like reacts to other routes and everything like that. Like he's never ahead of the receivers. So he's closer to other crossing routes, other C routes, stuff like that. And it's okay that he's slow cause he has deep knockout. So even if he gets burnt, as long as he touches the receiver, they'll drop the football. Then we have Justin Simmons at the safety on the right side. He has mid zone, kind of for corner routes and things that are thrown in front of him. It's not as good as deep out, but it's good. So that's out there. Those are our two abilities along with lurk artist on our user, which is Devin White. Devin White to me is, I mean, he's as good as it gets a user. This guy is one of the guys I tell you guys must have is the Grave Digger. He's just, he's always making plays. Somehow he's always the one stopping the run. He's always busting through the line and making plays. So this is our team right now. Excited for all Madden cards, new legends of course, but this is what I'm rocking right now. All my offense defense is updated on Madden turf. You can get all the defensive adjustments I ran in this game. All the offensive adjustments, different red zone plays, everything. I've been continually updating the e-book all year. So follow that link below madden turf.com and you can watch these games live every single night on Twitch. That link is below as well, boys. So remember, hit the like button and comment, subscribe. We are really close to 60,000 YouTube subs. Curl the, oh my God.  Did you expect Madden to just show up? Hey guys. Ooh. Yeah, I'm ready to play.    Like there's just no way I can't. Oh my God, man.  I mean, it was fourth down, he had to throw it, but like, I don't even know what else I could have did differently there. Like, how are you getting beaten outside there? Like, come on, man. I can't get over that one right there. Like, literally can't. It's like you can't stand in a pocket, bro.    No way, man. Oh, we just gotta make that a tutty.  That runs any good, huh, boys? Yo, what?  Like there's just no way he's running through bodies like this, dude.   Like, I would never trust that shit, man.  I mean, I gotta score a touchdown.  That's just killing us right now. How to balance.  Dude, when my bunch is to the right side, this blitz is terrible. When it's to the left, it's a little dicey. But I don't wanna just always stay on the right, but I might have to, really, against his defense.    Yo, Lamar, that's what I pay you to do.   You're not allowed to on-site kick right now, bro. You're not allowed to be on-site kicking right now, bro.   You literally can't be, you can't be that guy, dude. You really can't. Like, you really can't.  I hate that.    Yeah, stretch right, come on.   Like, you're some random online? Yeah, all right, that's cool, bro.  Yeah, find somebody open, please.  Just miserable, dude.   But we can on-site kick, look out.  Like, who was it? Whose idea was it?  Why?  Here we go. I'm just done. I'm done coming on-site kick, bro.   Let's go, kiddo, you're a man.     When they know you couldn't do that in a real game anyway. Of course, why would I not be able to throw the ball away ever?  Why would I not be able to throw the ball away?  Me, nah, W, you can't do that.  Duh, dickhead. Duh, duh, duh, duh, dickhead. On-site kick might keep you in the game. I just hate it, dude. I hate it. It's a clear rule. In all competitive MCS formats, there's a clear rule. You cannot on-site kick to the fourth quarter and losing. I'm not on-site kick. Why go?  Why would I on-site kick him? How many times you gotta get stopped?  You want on-site kick, though.  Oh my God, the way that dude stepped in was nuts.  GG's only, GG's only, GG's only, GG's only.  It's unethical. It's unethical to on-site kick like that. It's just unethical.   I'm sorry for any mean things I said. GG, GG, GG. Victory! Girl, you gotta grow up, man, on-site kick is childish. That's childish.  And on-site kick, they just take it. They just take it. Can't on-site kick in third quarter, bro. You can't. Fourth quarter, yeah. Not in third quarter.


I want to talk about what happens when a bank throws away a huge number of CRT monitors. They prefer to move on to these thin LCD panels. So what happens to these thousands of old CRT monitors? This is what we discovered in the streets of Mumbai. Once Priya, my wife and I were trolling through the streets, the back streets of Mumbai, and we walked maybe two minutes off from the street and then I turned back and I said, there's something else to this. This is not just a pile of scrap. What was happening here was people were taking these old CRT monitors. They were stripping them apart from most of the components and then reconfiguring them. They were converting these old CRT computer monitors into televisions that can be sort of retrofitted with a television tuner, comes the remote control, comes with a whole bunch of new packaging and even a fake cardboard box. It was not just a normal sort of process that was happening in one obscure corner. There were many, many streets in a certain locality in Mumbai where you can buy these kits. And this was really fascinating because it's actually packaged, bundled up in these kinds of fertilizer bags and shipped to remote villages all over India. You were wondering how did they ship this? So we went and actually tracked down the people who did the logistics for this industry. And what we discovered there was also even more unusual. It's actually piggybacking on passenger buses that have a little bit of empty space, empty slots in them. So they had a completely organized, self-managed system which did not have any kind of digital sort of software behind it but it was all human chain. And these televisions were deployed almost to all the rural villages of Maharashtra. So you can actually get a color television for almost 30 euros or almost 2000 rupees. And also with a warranty. Where is this warranty factor coming in from? How do you offer warranty on something that's been salvaged from scrap, modified and then sent in a passenger bus somewhere? So we discovered one other unusual thing. The kits are so simple to dismantle, assemble and reconfigure that the knowledge is almost embedded in these products. That was an interesting moment because if you could embed knowledge into products, you can actually allow the products to roam free and people can actually service them wherever they are. So when you make an open system, it allows people to actually build more value onto the product rather than just buying something, consuming it and trashing it. So this was the cycle that we were interested in. You can go to the streets of Mumbai, you can go to Cape Town, you can go to Doha, you can go to Bangkok. The languages people speak and the cultures in which they exist are so different but still there's one common thread and that's the ability to tinker and put all these things together. We're also curious as to what drives this, really. Where is this value coming from? There's actually an entire industry of low-cost tools and supplies that are manufactured and sort of are distributed for this kind of industry. There's also salvaged computer parts and second-hand scrap that you can buy. And it's very interesting because it's a dynamic pricing mechanism where you can actually create different kinds of prices for reliability of components. And you have books and manuals in all kinds of languages. This one is in Thailand. We found it in all kinds of languages. You get almost literal assembly instructions for all kinds of gadgets. What's interesting is that there's traditional crafts. There is sort of the old traditional crafts that are there in most of these places. And then there's these new technology crafts. These are people who sort of play with technology in very different ways. They don't go to professional schools, they don't go to universities. They actually are taught word of mouth informally at the street level. So what this really gives us is this sort of fix it locally culture. It gives us cheap fabrication and large math for low cost, which is really, really useful. Because today you can almost have the same computational capability in your pockets in your average cell phone as the computer that took man to moon for the first time. So it's like a remarkable phenomena. And what can we do with this was the bigger question. So this is what we call as the sort of silicon cottage industry. And the silicon cottage industry is really about all these kinds of disorganized, highly informally trained locally organized systems. So this is how the genesis of what we call as frugal digital, a small research group at CID in Copenhagen, where we tinker and try out different approaches to these same technologies. And we try to understand how to create the knowledge systems and the products around them. We have done numerous things like we tried to empower teachers in rural schools. We designed a low cost projector from cell phone parts. You can service them locally. You have a battery pack that drives them and they can be produced with locally available materials. We've done healthcare tools for frontline workers, health workers, like Asha workers, simple things like modify and alarm clock to become a medical screening tool. We have done numerous information democracy products like for example in South Africa, we've been trying out different kinds of community radio project that sort of offers us two-way community transmission using a cell phone and FM transmitter. And a little bit of software inside it. This is something that's undergoing testing at the moment. I want to talk about hearing loss because I think the reasons are obvious, especially in India. I just want you to hear this. This is what an average street vendor experiences 8 to 10 hours a day constantly throughout their working life. And this is a major epidemic. It's a major problem that's not recognized very well. Actually the WHO released a report that has an estimate of about 6 to 7% of the Indian population is actually affected by different kinds of hearing impairments. And this is an alarming figure and it goes pretty unnoticed. We're talking 70 to 80 million people who needs to be sort of checked, who needs to be advised, who needs to be helped. And they don't get that help today. So we were actually analyzing this whole area, this problem area, and we sort of discovered that there's actually small interventions that we can do that can make a huge difference to this process. Today the process of identification, prosthetic and therapy is pretty streamlined. If you have a lot of money, you get really great experiences. You get like very well taken care of. But the problem with that is that it requires a lot of expensive equipment, really fancy audiology equipment that needs to be established labs and like testing facilities and things like that. And bulk of the population today cannot reach this. So we said let's break down the identification process into screening and diagnosis because screening is what's really required for us to identify if someone needs help with hearing.  Unlike eyesight or any other sensory experience where you can start seeing where the issue is yourself. Hearing is one of those things that you have to discover over a long period of time if you have really an issue. What we've done is that we've understood what kind of equipment exists today. And this is really fascinating because most of the equipment is either antiquated, cumbersome and bulky energy intensive devices that needs to be set up in specialized places or there are highly expensive digital gear which needs to have fixed installation and have a very steep learning curve. So we need to come up with a system that's really simple to learn and adapt in a couple of days and you get going. So this is what we try to do as the frugal digital process. We actually took components and systems, subsystems from everyday objects. So we took things from computer speaker, we bought some batteries, we bought some reasonably good headphones and we wrote a bunch of software on cell phones, android phones to sort of see how we can configure all this to become an audiology tool instead. And also we have used local skills. We try to understand if tinkerers and the cell phone repair shops can actually build these kinds of systems. So I actually want to demo to you today a little concept that we've developed. I would like to invite on stage Varun Perumal who's my colleague who's been working on this with us. So this is actually a really simple test. You put on this pair of headphones and I'm going to play a couple of notes at different volumes. You just let me know when you can hear them. Let's start with your left ear first. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I can hear you. Let's quickly move to your right ear. So let's take a look at the results. So the app presents all the results in form of an audiogram. This is a highly standardized graph used by doctors and audiometrists all over the world to diagnose not only the extent of hearing loss but also the kind of hearing loss. Another interesting thing you can do is that you can send all this data via an SMS to a remote location so that medical practitioners and doctors can use this data to perform remote diagnosis. And also it creates really interesting opportunities to look at the statistics of how hearing loss is progressing across the areas of test. So I'll send the SMS. So you're sending me the SMS? Yeah. Let's see. Ah, there it is. I can see the same audiogram on my device. I might be thousands of kilometers away. And this is telemedicine in a small package in cell phones. And this offers a really unusual combination of different kinds of qualities which can actually allow large-scale screening in all kinds of remote places without the need for huge infrastructure, energy, and big fixed systems. Thanks, Varun. These kinds of approaches are the sort of new generation of approaches which can make a huge difference to everyday healthcare in a country where infrastructure, energy, and logistics is a huge challenge. What we're doing now is that we're developing these things as sort of programmable hearing devices that can actually be extended, simple devices that can be built in these kinds of cottage industry. But the main message that I want to leave behind today is that there's a lot of work and effort and money that goes into large-scale systems and sort of designing experiences in the cloud and all that. But what we really need is to come down to the street. What we really need is street-level computing. And this is what's going to make a difference to almost 700 to 800 million people in this country at least. Thank you so much.
