from both of them. So, this is the schematic of what we have done about it. So, we have conjugated the infrared dye 800CW which is the fluorescent dye and desferol. Now, desferol is another chelator which would chelate zirconium which would be our positron emitter for pet on to TRC-105 which is our type of targeting ligand and on to a controlled antibody and then we again inject like incubated this with the hubase which express CD105 over express CD105 and carried out microscopy and FATS analysis. After that, it was then labeled with zirconium 89 which is radium nuclei with a half-life of about 78.4 hours and then this was injected into mice and we carried out and we work pet and optical imaging and then the mice were sacrificed after about 48 hours and the organs were harvested and they were then again imaged with pet and optical scanners and also the pet data was like was validated using a gamma counter to perform my distribution studies. So, for conjugating the dye desferol for chelating zirconium, you can see this here is the antibody and this here is desferol and it has been functionalized with this chemical group SCN benzoil SCN and that so that it could easily catch on to pet and this desferol is on to pet or directly to the antibody sorry to the antibody sorry and so this antibody has NH2 group some the lysine amino acid would have NH2 group and here so there will be a reaction between the NH2 group and the S of SCN and this is how desferol would be conjugated on to the antibody and then at pH had a particular pH we had zirconium and zirconium here would be collated by the oxygen atoms and it would fit into the cavity. So, this was then again injected into mice and the this is what we get for the images. So, this is the antibody is labeled with zirconium and 800 CW while this is the control antibody and we can see that there is a very high tumor update in case of PRC105 whereas the control antibody already shows any update. So, and this was done after 24 hour time point and so we saw that PRC105 could be labeled easily with radian EPI and fluorescent dye and this would not affect its antigen binding affinity and we also observed specific and prominent tumor update with pet and optical imaging and these are just pilot studies in these again we would try to like vary the ratios for desferol and the dye and I have actually in the morning I talked to a person here and he also suggested a different dye for this called phytochrome which would which is more towards the NIR range which is the which has some like the emission is around 900 nanometers. So, it would be a good idea that we can label it with a different fluorescent dye which would be more into the which would show like a better tumor penetration ability and less of absorbance in the tissues and so this I guess is all and so I would like to thank the Kaila Dr. Vibhukai for hosting me our Yunnan and Yen for being so patient and forthcoming with all my questions and Kurana program funding agencies DBT, IUS SCF and University of Wisconsin Madison, Dr. Haseem Ansari and Dr. Ken Shapiro and Sharon and Emily, Johanna and my friends. Thank you. Happy to take any questions. So, with the graphene sheet how do you decide how big it is going to be, how do you control these dimensions? So, actually we did not make the graphene sheet, we purchased it from different lab I guess, but I think it is like if we provide different chemical conditions especially if we vary the pH I guess we can we can control the size. I am not very sure. And what size do you think would be optimal? I mean if you have done. So, it should be actually as small as possible so that it could move through the body So, what we use was around 10 to 15 nanometers but because we see nano material would be like even if it has nano dimension in one in one dimension it would be called nano material but if we have a very large sheet from repeat it is not going to be of any use. So, the sizes that we use were 10 to 15 nanometers but I am not very sure on the shape synthesis of graphene. But we are using graphene outside, graphene outside so it has like hydroxyl and carboxyl groups attached to it. So, why do you use a hydrophobic scaffold to make something that is very hydrophilic? You have pet linkers or other things attached to it that make it very hydrophilic. Why would you do that? Why do you start with a hydrophilic scaffold? So, the thing is that we buy it like a hydrophilic scaffold what would you need? Sir, definitely why don't you start with pet and decorate it with the same graphene? Graphene because it would have a very large surface area. So, you can attach a lot of moieties onto it like I have explained before many different imaging modalities either for the same you know like different imaging tracers either for the same modality or even for different modalities. This thing would not be possible with pet which is... Let me join the questions. Thank you for commenting on those. So, the graphene, it's very hydrophobic. The reason why we use this is in the last conclusion that it's potentially for image quality drug delivery because a lot of times people can... Most of the chemotherapy drugs are very hydrophobic. They are also aromatic. So, there's some pipeline stacking going on that you can load it with much higher efficiency than when you load it as a chemical method. So, we are not really trying to develop a new tracer in cancer. We are trying to develop a new platform for potential loading many different chemotherapy drugs. That's kind of one of the major problems. This is a good aggregated foam. Well, those... The graphene has a very long peg on it. Like probably 5,000, 5,000, 10,000 mW polyethylene icon. And that's from one of the collaborators who's really one of the experts in making those graphene. So, it's about 10, 15, 20 nanometers based on AFM. It's very homogenous. So, it's... Of course, they're not exactly the same size, but they look very good based on atomic cross microscopy images. If you were to put ligands on graphene of cell receptors, could it undergo receptor-mediated endosciences? That... Yes, it should. But the thing is... So... I mean, if we would ligand to it, which would... Which would recognize the receptor, and which would allow it to get inside it, then there won't be any problem because it can easily cross the cell membrane's graphene. But as... If you just do recognize a particular... I'm not really sure. So, does graphene pass through cells? Yeah, so it can... I know myself it doesn't. But if it's like... If it's a transmembrane protein, or if it's a protein which would help it to get through it, then it can... Maybe if it provides support of a channel to pass through? So basically it doesn't get through... Yeah, I think it definitely is something ligand to carry through. Or you can have some cell transporter, like I say, that's what you mentioned in one of the introductions, saying that you can incorporate some cell-connected peptides to bypass certain biological barriers, and so we can do some of the other peptides. But in this case, we didn't. If you don't bypass anybody yourself, it's entirely antibody. So it binds to C1, C5, and eventually... Alright, that does take a little while. Yeah. You guys have a really comment to hold. Thanks.


So I want to show you some of the modifications I made to the jugs before getting them wet. What we've done is I've gone in and I've taped them up with white tape just to make TPWD standards. I've added a little chartreuse tape to the top just to give it a little added visibility. So last night I went for a little test run with all three of these just to see, just get to feel, see what's going on with them, and see what kind of modifications we need to make and see if we can get any kitties on the line with the current version. So here's what happened. Oh this is, this is the fun part, y'all. We got some cheese livers, some stink baits, we have some shad, shad in a bag. I've always wanted to try that. By the way, don't want to snip these. We're just out here off of Main Lake Point, about 25 feet of water. This is where we're going to drop. The kitty should be mad. I'm having difficulties. This is a learning process for sure. I do not like the bottom. The line has to be tight. It's really hard the way I did it with the increments. So I think I'm going to come out with a better solution. I've literally just been cutting the excess off right now. So I'm just going to redo my other lines. Hopefully something gets on the line soon. It's just like staring at a bobber. It's ready, ready to be thumped. So that one right there is actually a little bit suspended. He's not totally on the bottom. So if I had to rate my first version of these. Well the jug is the jug. I mean it's fine. But on the new jugs, I'm going to give myself like a five and a half. Now that I'm out here I really understand a lot more what I need to do. Make this a lot more efficient and easy. Now would be a good time to have another rod. Another shad. Not eaten. Okay, maybe it's my location. That one more stink bait didn't even get hit. Jeez. That's all she wrote for now. I don't give up that easy. It's time to go back to the fish cave and make some modifications. So these do work functionally. I mean the weight slides. The worst part of it I think I wasn't able to adjust the depth with my weight where I wouldn't have a much excess line hanging off. And every loop that went down was about five feet. So you know I was in about 20 to 25 feet of water and I had about 40 feet of line. So that would mean I'd have to pick a loop down there about 20, 25 feet. Put the barrel swivel on it. Now I've got a bunch of excess line hanging off which I don't like. So I think there needs to be a system where I can wrap the extra line, keep it on the noodle, and then it still keeps its functionality. Also when I go to wrap these things up, it's just a mess. Like I really wish that I had a better system on here to wrap the line around. Do want to make some adjustments, make some extra ones that have a different system down here where I don't have to sit there and fumble around with the weight hanging off.  That's terrible. I do not like that at all. The dehydrated shad. Actually it's not even dehydrated. It says wounded. I'm not kidding you. It's a wounded shad. One thing that does work amazing is the TacoBuddy leader system. Taking them on and off the line is super easy. And I also had the catfish nuggets. That stuff stinks like an old skunk that I mixed and fed the night before. It's just having a bad hangover the next day. A lot of other adjustments I think can be made. So since I build stuff just about every day here at the treehouse and we're sitting in the construction zone right now, I'm going to take you guys along for the adjustment build and then we're going to get these wet. And by the way, the next project after this is going to be the fishing cave wood table build, which I've already been cleaning up. That old wood that we got from that old barn house. That wood is looking amazing. Kitty's first though. There's like three little holes and then there was a banana peel. He got in there. He wanted that. And there's bacon grease so he wanted the bacon. Oh he wanted that bacon. That's keeping an eye on those raccoons. Got armadillos and skunks in the yard as well. And foxes. Just full blown. Now that I've got all the bird poop and the crusties off of this future shelf that's going in the treehouses is going to be our little work area. We're going to build the rest of these jug lines. We got our PVC primer and glue. We got our extra PVC pieces, eyelets. We got silicone. We got duct tape. We have our noodles. We have our pipe. Got a few extra things on my engineer. We'll see if that's relevant here in the future. But right now let's hit some jams and get to work. Since I'm experimenting, just about every jug is different. I've experimented with some shrink wrap on some of these to try to keep the lines out. I've experimented with different fluorocarbons, lupenauts, or the surgeon's lupenaut. I've done just straight up barrel swivels and tied surgeon's lupenauts to those. Everyone is a little bit different, including the hooks. Some are circles, some are octopus. So this is going to be the biggest difference right here. It's the ring versus the T-bar. We'll call it the T-bar, I guess.  Tie a knot like I'd be tying up to a little boat cleat or something like that. I can sit this in any depth. I can adjust this by the inch. This one, it's kind of adjusted by this clip right here, and I'd have to tie another lupenaut and move up and down. It takes more time, and it's not as accurate. However, this one's got a swivel on the end to prevent a line twist. This one doesn't. I've spent way more time on this than I ever have doing a bass fishing thing. It's been a long time since I've worked on something this long to try to get it right, but that's why I love fishing so much. I mean, learning a new technique, learning a new type of fishing rod or system, and then trying to figure out what makes that the best to go and catch that particular fish. You make those mistakes, and then you come back, and then you learn and learn and learn, and I've been doing that in bass fishing for so long. I kind of take it for granted. Every year, I still learn new things. But with this, I've only done this primitively and just kind of for fun in my teenage years. So doing it now to really try to catch fish, especially after going out and failing one time, now I'm like, I'm into it. Especially knowing there's some giant catfish down here where I live, and there's tons of opportunities for this.  Found me a good little spot right off a point. There's a lot of shad down there. We're going to be fusing some dogs. I got the cheapest hot dogs I could find. I figured they had the grossest stuff in them. Smoke flavoring. Every kitty loves a good smoke sausage. Now one of the main things you want to focus on with catfish is scent. They're using them barbels. Hot dogs got a real oily fattiness to them. So I think that's why that makes them a real good bait. Same thing with shad. They have a lot of oil in them.  I got me a bucket full of the jug lines. This is all this hard work. Hopefully it pays off, guys. Let's put some dogs on some hooks. Got a couple of them that need dates. So I'm going to add that with some tape and a Sharpie. Woo! Look at that! That looks like a wacky rig, don't it? Okay, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to attach our weight. Nice juicy hot dog on there. I tried shad last time. They still look pretty good, but couldn't get any fish to bite on them. Should just unravel. There it goes. I like this method so much better. A little half itch there. It bombs away on that guy. Okay, we got our line set. This time, I brought some fishing rods. I'm going to wait till sundown. If nothing bites them, I'm going to rebate them. I'm going to come back in the morning. Let these simmer in the waters. Come on, kiddies! Get to biting. I think that one there is going to be problematic. It's already drifting. I might have to readjust that one. The moon is full and it is orange. This is the perfect night to stay out all night. I kind of like it from doing it from the boat. You know, I got my line out over here. I'm just dangling it. I got a crappie rod over here in case I want to dangle before some crappies or some white bass. And then I got my troop of danglers back here. The lines look pretty good. Still got my hot dogs on there.  Looks like big buffalo carp and stuff like that is hanging around here. They are kind of bottom feeders. That's good to see. I've caught catfish here before a long time ago. That's always a bonus. I'm going to hang out here for a minute or two. I'm going to pop these a little bit more and then I'm just going to leave them overnight. It's about 10 o'clock. So I've stayed out here a little bit and I do see a jug down. I don't know if there's a fish on it, but something definitely hit it. Oh, it just came off.  It was a little channel cat. Well, he came off, but that was a good sign. Hit the hot dogs, I reckon. So I'm going to load them up again. See if we can get another one. 10 minutes later, I moved around to a little shallower water. I've got a line out right now. I'm fishing. Just so you guys are aware, that's what they look like when they haven't been hit. And then this one right here has been hit. This is the fun part right here. Let's check it and see what's on this guy. Fish got off. The great news is these things are actually working. I've gotten bit on a couple of the different designs. One that did have the fish on had the surgical tubing on it. Was not tangled when I brought it up. The other ones have been kind of tangled. That's good on that design. I'll probably employ that on some of the other ones. I checked another one of those. Still had the hot dogs on it. So I'm going to take it in.  See y'all in the morning. All right, y'all. It's the next morning. We've let them sit. Let's go see if there's anything on here. Definitely had some lines get taken. I can see that the things are sticking straight up. Three out of the six down. This is exciting. That's what it looks like when they're down. You have one, two, and there's a third one. So I spread these out from about 16 foot all the way out to 25, and it looks like I've got one on each depth loop. One at about 16, one at 20, and then one at 25. So that system worked out pretty good doing it at that depth loop. All right, let's check this one first. There's an empty hook. No fish. Well, that's part of it. The lines don't look very tangled at all, which is good. Oh my gosh, these carp are going to nuts over here. Oh, there was definitely one on there. Catfish slime on it, and he got off. There's one down. We got two more to check. What do we got? He's got nothing on it. I don't seem to like these shad too much. So we've definitely got some issues. So I'm going to have to go look at some different knots and stuff like that, keep the bait on better. Just some different hook systems. I don't know, has fish on it because I can see the buoy moving up and down. Jug number three, going for the win. Oh, it's going. I can see this dude trying to get away. Not getting away. He's fighting already. Be a good one. Yeah, there we go. There's a kitty. Channel cat. Good channel cat. Looks like that's going to be the only fish on the line. The rest of the baits have been cleaned off. Could not escape that circle hook. Alright, this guy is definitely going in the live well. But this system is so cool, guys. And I can't wait to learn a little bit more and advance it a little bit. So I'm going to set out some more lines and I'm going to do a little bit of bass fishing while I'm at it. But this guy is going to be tasty. Thank you guys so much for tuning in today. What a learning lesson this has been. This has been, of course, a few days trying to build these and come out and test them and try them out. So if you want to try these, it's a lot of fun. I didn't know how to build these. I'm going to put some things together. The way it slides up and down, it indicates really well. I just got to work on the hook system a little bit. If you guys have suggestions on these, make sure to leave them in the comments. And you know what to do, fishing freaks. Hit the subscription button. Go ahead and hit the ding dongs for all the notifications so you never miss a single bite. And I love you guys. I hope you're having a blessed day wherever you are. And I'll see you on the next one.


Hello, it's Rachel Larson here again from the Drupal Association and today I've managed to bring back some of the initiative leads from the automated updates strategic initiative team. So today we have David we have Ted and we have Tim with us. So welcome everyone thank you for coming back. Thanks for having us again. Thanks very much. Thank you. So, I wanted to ask a few questions about what you know what's been going on and someone with automated updates and I thought I'd start off with a really easy one so we've all had a few weeks after Drupal come now which was pretty intense. And I know what have you been up to since then. Ted. Yeah, we've been, we finished some issues from the contribution day we got some people involved so that sort of led to some work in the week or two after that. Actually, we found like a really good sort of sort of security related I mean I guess with automatic updates everything security related but the issue somebody pointed out on contribution days so we were working on that and yeah just sort of pushing, pushing forward on their core stuff and the libraries. It was good to get people involved in the competition day. Yeah, that's good. I think, you know, after taking a long weekend post con to chill out a little bit and recharge the batteries the other thing that was really big is, you know, the announcement of the new initiative for the project browser at Drupal con was a really big deal. And, you know, trees have mentioned that the work for the auto updates initiative is doing place and groundwork for that. So, for myself, I had a lot of folks chiming in asking about that project browser initiative and, you know, how what we're doing in auto updates affects the composer side of all that kind of stuff so there was a nice little opportunity to cross pollinate with a new initiative getting started. Yeah. Okay, so you talk about Drupal, Drupal con that we changed quite a lot at Drupal con North America this year we you know we changed it so that everything was far more focused on the strategic initiatives that we selected, including automated services, I'm really bringing them into focus.  Be there to help organize the contributions in the afternoon or everything that was quite a big deal that you went through to do that. And what was the experience like, Tim. Yeah, let me start from kind of the overview. I mean, first of all, I think big kudos to Ted who did a lot of the actual groundwork in terms of building the keynote and, and doing some of the key session selection all the things that you described I think, some folks of us involved Ted did a large chunk of those, but stepping back a little bit, you know, the, the main thing I observed is that it's a lot of work. And we knew that going in, but it's a huge amount of work for, for everybody involved. So the worry was, is this going to distract from executing on the initiative from the time we would spend just getting things done. And you know maybe that's true to a certain extent, but the value of getting organized and actually doing that issue triage to see where we are and what needs contribution next. And, you know, getting ready for recruitment, I think was really high. I mean I think it's super helpful to be able to communicate with folks. And to be able to create a way to where things are and to have things available for people to chime in and help us work on so I'd love to do it again, but I would think that we could expand further into, you know, recruiting a Drupal con project manager or something to help all of us out for the initiative on top of our mentoring partner and everyone else who joined in so might help us out a little bit. I don't know what did you think Ted. I think it was interesting to have the keynote, which was sort of very general but not really assuming much like technical knowledge and then have a separate session for the technical stuff which the people who are involved in the various parts of the initiative, you know, sort of spoke to where if people did want because a lot of people obviously aren't. They're not interested in auto updates but they don't really, if they're not going to work on it. They're maybe not interested in the real details. So it was good to have a separate session for the like why and then the how details. So it was, and I think it was also good to have sort of everybody involved in helping with the slides for both of those sessions so that we could sort of be accurate the people involved or are updating them but also so that if you're not involved in that particular section, even if you're in the initiative, sort of seeing the slides keeps you update with where the state of everything is. Yeah, I think that's a good point it's a nice chance to like take the take the blinders off for a minute and look at the big picture again, which is something that actually you kind of run away from when you get laser focused on a specific part of the initiative. David you also invited the sort of PHP tough team. The top team. Sorry, excuse me the top team since we're the PHP tough team. Could you could you speak to that a little bit it turned out to be a really good opportunity. We're working on similar challenges in the sense of how do you manage trust with modern encryption portable implementations of this sort of infrastructure, and be and have infrastructure that is designed to support incremental improvement and increase in the trust in the sense that a lot of infrastructures sort of involve you committing from day one of exactly what scale of trust, you're going to be able to support with that infrastructure. One of the things that has always impressed me about tough is that we can do everything from supporting the last mile of trust to provide compatibility to to broad versions of PHP and web hosts that may or may not be fully up to date in their own internal infrastructure for things like like open SSL and certificate authorities, but we can also stretch that all the way back to development if we want to in the sense that once tough as deployed, we could even be assigning things like possibly Drupal releases themselves before their pack as their package before they're even uploaded to infrastructure. And the and the design of tough supports mirroring really effectively, and means that we actually can validate our implementation against a different reference implementation. So before you're dealing with security sensitive topics. It's good to have additional eyeballs on it. A design that's actually been vetted by a lot of people in the sense that we're mostly worried about security issues in the gap between the spec and our implementation, not also in the spec itself. This takes a good number of risks off of Drupal's plate in terms of this and honestly, it's just been a pleasure working with them. Like they're just like they've been really courteous and providing assistance pointing out any deficiencies from their perspective and our implementation or common pitfalls. They've also been responsive to our needs on the project like when I was setting up the testing infrastructure and wanting to have that work terministically, it actually required some advice and possibly some changes even upstream and and they're actually pretty sympathetic to these needs. So, and on their side they actually get the benefit of another implementation of a spec. I believe this is the third implementation. And if anyone has had heard the like rule of thumb about specs, like, it's not a real spec until you've implemented it three times. There's the reference in in Python, the second one and go and then this one in PHP now. Well, I've never heard that before, but it's like it makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I've learned something new already. So, you went through this experience. Concentrated time. Did that experience change anything about the initiative direction? Is that the same as before? Did you gain input from people you didn't expect or maybe even brought in some new team members? I don't know. David, anything come up your mind makes you think. Well, there's, there's a lot of opportunities for initiatives at Drupal con beyond just sharing sort of status updates and an overall perspective on where things are at. I think Drupal con is best seen as a bi directional experience for initiatives in the sense that it's a chance to interact with the community, a chance to interact with other stakeholders, especially ones that are not directly involved with the implementation of it, which are really the stakeholders to consider because the people who are implementing this, this sort of integration with composer actually don't overlap necessarily a ton with people deploying Drupal in situations that are going to most benefit from auto updates, because we're trying to target the long tail of deployments. It's also an opportunity for us to onboard potential contributors because sometimes there's a noticeable barrier to entry of actually getting some things done. So it wants to show up to try and get something done, and then run into a blocker and not really and sort of be lost on that or have to wait days to have it unblocked because the enthusiasm has dissipated by that point. That's when that sort of situation happens so it can be great to have an opportunity where you're not you don't just have sort of entry level issues that are intended to provide an honor amp into the project, but actually, the project team around is ready to catalyze getting past them so that someone feels productive and appreciated and like, there's also no nothing like the nothing quite as neat as the feeling of having your first contribution to a project integrated because it's, it's sort of like you've gone through the whole cycle at that point. The, it's, it provides a lot of confidence and being able to make other changes and contribute other ways. Yeah, I would say there's only one thing better than watching that first contribution get get get used, and that's mentoring someone to get in that first contribution implemented because that is incredible I've got to say. I was watching this video from, I believe a video game designer on what he likes about playing games, especially ones that you can only play once because they provide that first unique experience, but he also said like the second best experience is to watch someone else have that first experience. It's really true. I think you know speaking of some specific things what one of the things that's really cool is I think we have maybe 40 new people who joined the auto updates channel in Drupal Slack to follow along faulty. Yeah, you know they're not all people who are actively contributing but they jumped into the channel at least just to stay and stay, you know, abreast of what's going on. It's really really good. We also had a great meeting about the UX of the auto update system that followed Drupal Khan, which was really a key feature because we've got a lot of very dev oriented folks but this is a feature that needs to be really transparent and easy to use in order to get the option that's important to it so no those were some some really good outcomes. It's funny you should say that people coming into the channel and just kind of watching because I've just come from another webinar a few moments ago about open social and what we were talking there about was how we noticed in some of the introduction sessions we had quite a few people who were acting simply as flies on the wall, they were just watching what was going on. And that's great that we were able to facilitate that because it gives us an opportunity, it means that some people can come along, not necessarily be active but just see what's going on. And maybe next time or maybe the time after that they will then become the active person. So we're giving them a much smoother on ramp, which is really interesting actually things that I hadn't thought of before we got involved in Drupal Khan I'm really pleased. So I should move on a little bit so looking into the future. What's, what's next for automated updates. Anything on your mind Ted. Yeah, so since Drupal Khan we got the security advisor highly critical security advisories notifications inside Drupal core. So now if there's a really not like every advisory but if there's a really highly critical one that comes around inside there will be notified to say, hey, you know, there'll be something coming up very soon, or there's a, you know, highly critical security lease for something that you have installed that you should do right now. And we're working on a follow up to that to make have the email notifications. We've been working a lot on the PHP tough library. And we have it sort of getting it to the latest version of their, their spec specification and working on a lot of testing for different kinds of attacks. Basically, you know, we, we don't want to just make sure it works if everything's okay we want to make sure you know if, if, if something goes wrong that you're notified and you don't you don't actually try to update so there's been a lot of progress on that. We'll have the readiness checkers which will be the first thing hopefully to get into core for automatic updates, and that's pretty far along and after that we'll have that's just sort of the API for that but after that patch gets in the merger quest. And then we'll have all the different like checkers like is your composer Jason not hack do you have file permissions so will be a lot of sort of smaller issues after that one's in that people can help out with and a lot of that will be moving the work from the contrib module to core. So yeah, a lot of good progress some stuff actually got into core and yeah, it's been good. And if people are wanting to watch out for those opportunities. Where can they watch out for them. So, on the Drupal core issue q if there if you look for issues tag with automatic updates initiative right now there's not an automatic updates module because that first thing is not in once that's in you'll, you can filter by the automatic it's module but before then I'll look for that tag or if you go to our GitHub. PHP tough PHP dash tough organization there's three active libraries there and you can sort of jump in and look at the issues there. And of course the pound auto updates on Drupal Slack. And we have the bi weekly meeting which I think the next one is next Tuesday. So if people want to come I don't actually know the time but you don't have to show up right then you can sort of see it after the fact to. Yeah it's an async protest text based meeting like many of the other initiatives. So you can join whenever make sense and and just chime in on the topics that are important to you. Right, well that's wonderful. So we'll finish with a question that I've been asking all of the different initiative teams. Which is, if we had another initiative focused contribution event into the future. Which initiative, either a current one, or a new one that you've just thought of. Would you like to see us focus on. This is such a good question. Obviously the project browser because it because it really relates here but also I think if there was sort of meta but like a sort of initiative to make it and I think in the trees know it went over this a lot like. Initiative to make it easier to contribute to contribute you know. And a lot of that the DA is doing, but I think there's a lot of room for a lot of people to help, whether it's like documentation just to be like okay where do you start. So, I think that would be interesting. I love that idea. And I think, you know, going together with that. If we had this. I don't know what we call it the contribution initiative with the initiative initiative, like, you know, having something where we could recruit more folks to support the mentor team recruit folks to do what I was talking about earlier in terms of like helping project manage the contribution event for an initiative. So I expand the, you know, all of the teams that that presented at the last year upon did some awesome things and I think, taking those and standardizing them and documenting them it would be really really cool. Yeah, I think that's awesome. I can't just write on Ted's coattails what else would I would I try and add as a new initiative. I think it would be interesting to see almost a new version. It's not exactly a new version of the decoupled initiative but a almost like a speculative speculative fiction initiative about what could Drupal do in with, you know, 10 years from now with whatever the next set of digital experiences mean right we've we've just seen people start to do voice integration with Drupal. Yeah, that's one of the very, very early like sort of next gen implementations. It would be cool to have a whole group of people just literally speculating about what do we need to account for in terms of the sci fi future of what Drupal could do. It's been really interesting actually. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. That was really interesting and yet again I've learned something during one of these so I'm happy. I'm just going to keep doing these on those stuff by the end of it. Is there is there still time for me to opine on some initiatives. Yes, absolutely there is. So, I have, I have sort of my my like loftier one and my like very concrete one loftier. I'm actually totally on board with the direction that Dries is is indicating in terms of some of the more like the project selection. The reason why I think that that is a really important one for us to be pushing forward on now is because the plumbing we're adding with auto updates actually provides a really robust package manager for doing interactive changes to a site to install additional modules and their dependencies. And it would be a shame if we only use that for automatic updates. Okay, so I'm, I'm pretty excited about the idea of being able to support a more richer experience in general of being able to install and extend Drupal. That supports that. I also have something I worked on years ago that I would love to see a little initiative done around. I just put the link into the chat for here. It's a project I worked on called light foot, and it move it basically makes CSS and JavaScript aggregation happen on a lazy basis. It uses it does it digitally signs, or actually, I think H max the, the combination that needs to be aggregated, and therefore allows the aggregated content to be assembled on demand at the, at the request of that aggregated content, which means it doesn't have any CSS or JavaScript aggregated files to the file system. And then it caches, it caches the aggregated thing in like a reverse proxy cache or even Drupal's page cache. That's really cool. Yeah, that would be I'm trying to imagine the complexity of that. Yeah. Well, I did it. Actually, the Drupal seven implementation is is actually very dirty, because like the way it basically does you know that sort of thing where like has a hook and then it manipulates the data in it. The Drupal eight implementation is actually fairly clean that I did for it and I suspect it would be fairly clean in nine as well because it basically just changes the handler in a more way. Actually, next steps on here 1234 I actually had Drupal eight core. I haven't touched this since 2017, but it's the sort of thing that I'd love to actually integrate. At some point, I'd love to do it possibly along the same lines as providing a mode for image styles that does not write the disk either, because like what I'd like to see is for all of this derivative content to be cashed in a reverse proxy or CDN layer, which is more consistent with the ways that that people are deploying things today, rather than writing into the file system, especially a network file system then has to be synchronized across the nodes super fast. So this would, it's So yeah, I guess that's my little pet like I guess self contained little technical initiative that I would love to see. Yeah, now, now the more you talk about it, I'm really thinking that we write the things to the desk both image styles, JavaScript CSS, we are really using them as a cash. Yeah, and, and yet we're sat with a frankly better cash nearby. I mean, it completely makes sense now. Now, now I've had a chance to absorb it. Yeah, I like it. Sounds really interesting. Brilliant. Yeah. It's not one that I thought about before. Right. Well, thank you very much. Yeah, and look forward to seeing you in the auto updates channel on Slack for the meetings. And the next time that you're all getting together to push the project forward so thank you very much goodbye. Thanks.


So, welcome everyone to the session on health governance. We have 45 minutes today and five presentations, let's see, I mean that's the plan. And this panel is looking at the effects of different health governance measures and health seeking behaviours in different contexts. So the first presentation that we have today is pre-recorded, it's by Nayanta Rassama, she's a consultant at the South Asia Chief Economist's office at the World Bank, and working on different topics related to labour inequality, gender immigration and health. Unfortunately, she cannot attend the session today and I believe that the presentation is actually presented by her co-author, Ivan Thore, so yeah, perhaps we, if you want to send them questions afterwards, perhaps you will have access to their email addresses in the attendance list or find other ways of reaching out to them. So yeah, Simon, if you can start the first presentation. Hello everyone, my name is Ivan Thore, I work at the World Bank, and I'm presenting today this paper co-authored with Mauricio Buzolo and Nayanta Rassama, also from the World Bank. In this paper, we intend to explore the effects of government's pandemic response policies on the degree of vaccine hesitancy and vaccine acceptance across the world. Vaccine hesitancy is a critical hurdle in the fight against COVID-19, particularly now as new, more transmissible variants like Delta are emerging. It has never been more important to get as many people vaccinated as possible, also because non-pharmaceutical interventions like lockdowns cannot be prolonged indefinitely given the mental and economic costs they entail. There is an extensive literature on the drivers of vaccine hesitancy at the individual level. Education, personal experience, risk perceptions and demographic factors all play a role in determining the take up of vaccine. Social factors like norms and culture also have an impact. And lastly, policy can play a role. Information campaign, mass mandates and mobility restrictions can also modify individuals' behavior. A recent paper by Glaser and co-authors shows that when local governments left lockdown restrictions, individuals interpret this as a signal that the spread of the disease is low and therefore engage in more risky behavior. Our paper's main research question follows from that literature. If government measures may carry an informational content about the risks concerning the pandemic, up to what point do the government's policy response to the pandemic affect the degree of vaccine acceptance among individuals? Our main data source is a survey run by Facebook covering 67 countries from August 2020 to February 2021. In 18 of these countries, the survey is carried out in a repeated monthly cross-section of a representative sample of internet users. Our main dependent variable is the answer to the question, if available, are you willing to accept a vaccine? Our main independent variable is the Oxford students' index. This is an indicator that summarizes a government's policy response by the degree of stringency. The graph on the left shows that vaccine acceptance is not static. In fact, it has varied considerably in the time period included in our sample. The graph on the right looks at the evolution of vaccine acceptance in Brazil and how it correlates to the evolution of government's stringency. The less stringents are our measures, the lower the vaccine acceptance. Our analysis will look into this correlation in more detail. Social factors like norms and trust also play a role in vaccine acceptance. On the left, you can see that in countries where individuals believe that vaccine acceptance is high in their communities, their own individual vaccine acceptance is also high. On the right, you can see that the more individuals trust government, the more they are individually willing to take the vaccine. With social norms and trust, differently to policy, while they vary considerably across countries, are more sticky from a within-country perspective. In this sense, policy changes can be more relevant to drive changes in vaccine acceptance. This slide shows our main results. Our main empirical equation is a linear probability model in which individual vaccine acceptance is the main dependent variable and where the stringency of government measures is the main regressor. We include a long series of individual controls and also control for the incidence of the pandemic at the time when the survey took place. While our results are purely correlational, controlling for the incidence of the pandemic allows us to be more confident that the partial correlation of the stringency index excludes the variation driven by the pandemic itself. The results on the left show the standardized estimates of the coefficients of the main equation. The stringency is associated with a higher degree of acceptance in the vaccine. For instance, moving from the 25th percentile to the 2075th percentile of the stringency index is associated to a 5.8 percentage point increase in individual vaccine acceptance. Community norms and trust in government have a larger standardized coefficient, but bear in mind that the observed variation in these coefficients is mostly cross-country, remaining even if we include country-fixed effects. The graph on the right shows the partial correlation of stringency and vaccine acceptance across country and you can see that there is considerable heterogeneity, with a few countries having a negative correlation. These results suggest that the effect that government measures may have on vaccine hesitancy may be context-dependent. To conclude, government's management of the pandemic has varied and so has public reception to these policies. Individual and social factors drive vaccine acceptance, but they are difficult to change as they depend on social histories and culture. Government policies have the potential to convey information on the risk of contracting the disease and in this way they can shift vaccine acceptance. Our results show that this effect is potentially sizable. We are currently extending our analysis to whether understand this effect and in particular we are looking at whether individual risk perceptions change when governments announce new restrictions. We expect to have new results in the coming months. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to present at this conference. All right, thank you for the presentation and hopefully there will be an opportunity to ask questions or give feedback at some point. I don't see the next presenter. Simeon, do you see Shuku Uedoji Acero somewhere? No, no, I didn't see. No? Okay, so then I think we should just move on to the third presentation by Amani Hussain, who has joined us already. She's an independent urban researcher and she's going to present a paper on towards a place-based approach for managing the impacts of COVID-19 on Egyptian households. Amani, the floor is yours. Good morning. My research towards a place-based approach for managing the impacts of COVID-19 on Egyptian households. The main objective of this research is to analyze the efficacy of policy responses to the pandemic in Egypt. It consists of three parts. The first part is a brief discussion of vulnerabilities in the urban health and socio-economic context in Egypt. The second part is an investigation of the health and socio-economic impacts of the pandemic on Egyptian households by using qualitative research methods and analyzing the publicly available data and surveys conducted by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics between 2015 and September 2020. The third part is recommending a resilient place-based approach for managing the impacts of the pandemic in Egypt. The urban system in Egypt has many vulnerabilities that can exacerbate transmission rates of COVID-19 and make containment measures more difficult. More than 40% of the urban areas in Egypt are on-planet and have high population density. More than 31 million people in Egypt are poor and about 6 million are living in extreme poverty. Only 7% of the population used with sub-lion ICT infrastructure and 63% of the working force are informal workers. The health sector has many vulnerabilities due to the low government sub-denture and medical personnel per 1,000 people are very low and hospital beds per 1,000 people also. Since the 4th of March 2020, the government had many measures to limit the community spread of the virus, counseling all public events, dedicating hospitals for isolating COVID-19 cases, halting all air travel, closing schools and universities, and nighttime curfew. But by the 1st of August 2020, the government announced lifting all restrictions. By the 1st of September 2021, only 3% of the population have been fully vaccinated in Egypt. And this is considerably low in the region. The government announced stimulus policies in $6 billion package, about 50% for tourism sector and 0.6% for health sector and 0.4% for regular workers support. The targeted cash transfer program includes only half of the first injections. The second part of the research about the impacts of COVID-19 in Egypt, I used the publicly available data to calculate excess mortality in 2020 due to the pandemic. In the Peace Corps method, excess mortality is calculated as a percentage difference between the number of deaths in 2020 and the average number of deaths in the same period over the last five years. By comparing the Peace Corps of Egypt and several countries, we can notice that the mortality rate in Egypt is higher than USA and close to Italy and Brazil. After calculating the Peace Corps for the urban and rural areas of Egyptian government rates, we find that the excess mortality was higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Especially in the cities of Aswan and Luxor and Krena tourist destinations. By mapping variations in mortality rates across European areas of Egyptian government rates, we can notice that the first cluster of infections emerged in Aswan and Krena and is spread to other government rates due to laxity in implementing social distancing measures. By comparing the locations of the first Fushi with the locations of the first isolation hospitals, it's clear that the Egyptian authorities were efficient in monitoring and isolating the first cases. By mapping variations in mortality rates across rural areas, we can notice that the infection rate was lower than the urban areas. Socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19, about 62% of the working population have been negatively affected by the pandemic. 26% of them became unemployed and 73% suffered from income decline. We can notice that rural areas are more affected than urban areas, despite that infection rates were much lower. According to the same survey, more than 60% of them indicated that containment measures are the principal reason for income decline. We can, according to another survey, the percentage of households with insufficient income decreased after lifting the containment measures. The beneficiaries of a regular worker's aid were only 4% of the Egyptian households. And this is very low percentage compared to 63% of the working population. Conclusions, we can notice that COVID-19 and the pandemic have deeply affected the Egyptian people on the health sector and the socioeconomic sector. The Egyptian government was very late in undertaking initial containment measures, such as halting air travel. The public health and social measures were delayed and couldn't prevent the community spread of COVID-19 in Egypt, in addition to affecting the Egyptian households livelihoods negatively. The economic measures were insufficient to mitigate the economic impacts on Egyptian households. And the government must accelerate the pace of vaccination. Recommendations, as the daily infection rate is high, a comprehensive combination of containment processes is needed to reduce the spread of the virus, strike planning of gatherings, physical distancing measures in schools or workplaces. Use special data collection techniques can enable local authorities to assess the real-time spread of COVID-19 and develop area-based responses, such as localized lockdowns in most affected areas instead of lockdowns or curfews for the entire country. Using special mapping techniques to identify communities that can be hotspots of local transmission. And the geographic targeting of these communities would help local authorities to target emergency efforts to the poor and informal workers with cash transfers or food distribution and waive utility bills for the duration of the pandemic and bright rising vaccination for these low-income areas. Once the daily infection rate has been lowered, the comprehensive form of tests and contacts for tracing policies is the most effective strategy in this situation. Thank you for listening. Thank you very much, Amami, that was very interesting and very rich in detail in the presentation. So I am not sure if we have other presenters. There's technically three more presentations. Simon, did you... were you able to... Yeah, no. We cannot find them. So I think this gives more time for discussion. Some attendees want to even share audio and discuss it. It's also possible. Yeah, let's do that. I will just read out the titles of the other presentation so that if people are interested in the work, they can get in touch with the presenters. So the one presentation was on the Peace Paradox and Pandemic, a natural experiment of COVID-19 effects of African jihadi groups by Larissa Navau and Henry Nanjiang. Larissa Navau is an assistant lecturer at the University of Jiang. So it's a very interesting paper. Please look them up if you want to give feedback or get in touch with them. And then there is another presentation by COVID-19 time-varying reproduction numbers worldwide and empirical analysis of mandatory and voluntary social distancing. I think the presenter was Alessandro Ribucci from the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School. It's a very interesting, very comprehensive paper. So possibly another area of interest for people attending the panel. And then I think we were missing also the presentation by... Let me double-check. There's one more, I believe. I guess, Spatial Appraisal of the Health Care Seeking Behaviors of People with Chronic Health Conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa by Shukwe Dozi Acero, who's a senior research fellow at the Environment for Development Initiative and Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Nigeria. So if some of these topics are close to your own research, just, yeah, you can find the names in the conference program and feel free to get in touch. Okay, so I do not see any questions in the Q&A tab or in the chat, I think, no. So I would have a few for Amani, but please feel free to also join us on the, I guess, stage. I think you can do that if you share your audio and video. And then perhaps, Amian, can put you up for us to discuss with or I'm happy to have a very open session talking about related research or other questions that you may have. So, yeah, thank you again, Amani, for your presentation. Now, you could have taken more time, we didn't know, but you won't be the only live presenter today. I wanted to ask you because you said that the vaccine rates are very low in Egypt if you have any insights as to where this is mainly because of rollout or if you observe a similar topic as we saw in the first presentation on vaccine hesitancy as well and what may be the reasons for that. And then also because you draw on different information from different surveys, so maybe you can give us some information about which data sources you consult and when they were conducted, just interested in that as well because a lot of the data collection efforts actually have been suppressed by COVID containment measures and so forth. And yeah, you also mentioned the unemployment rates who have, as a result of the pandemic, I was wondering if you have some insights as to which sectors were particularly affected by that or which population groups as well. Yeah. The research has many details more than the presentation and the vaccination was very late because only 7% of the population have fixed the ICT infrastructure and the vaccination registration system requires for online registration on our website. So little percentage of the population can register for this vaccination. According to regarding the unemployment, I'm not sure but I think that I have read about this information that the most affected sector is the tourism sector because all airlines were halted in the first wave and the service sector also, restaurants and gyms and all the service industry have affected. And regarding the service that you're talking about where they were able to conduct them during the pandemic and who were they mainly reaching? Was it via phone interviews? I'm sorry, I couldn't understand. You were saying like the information that you draw on in your presentations coming from multiple surveys, right? So I was wondering if you know a bit more about when they were conducted or by whom? These surveys were conducted by the Central Agency for localization and administration in Egypt. This is a governmental authority. The surveys were conducted in May 2020 and September 2020 and I think July 2020. During the first wave when the curfew was implemented and after lifting all restrictions and lockdowns so they measured the impacts of the pandemic on the population in three stages. Okay, thank you for the additional insights. So I don't see, wait, let me see if there are some questions by now, no? Is there anyone else who'd like to ask a question directly, live? To Amani or regarding the present? We want to discuss something of the earlier presentation. Perhaps people are still in the morning hours. Okay, is there something else that you would like to discuss Amani or something else? I have just noticed that the presentation was too small. I think it wasn't clear enough on something. No, no, I think it allows you to go into presentation mode when you are in the PowerPoint. But if you go to full screen mode, it was actually possible to see the slides quite well. But if there's something, for example, that you discuss briefly, that you would elaborate a little bit more, we still have some time if you want to. It's your panel basically. Okay, I think that the second part is the most part of the research. I conducted an analytical research for this part. I have gathered data about the number of deaths for each governorate, all the cities and urban areas and rural areas in every governorate for the last five years. I calculated the police court to identify the most affected areas that had the most number of deaths in the country. So we can determine where the infection rate is higher than other places. This is the main objective of this research. And I discovered that Aswan and Luxor, very famous locations in Egypt, are the first fushi for the pandemic. I think that if the government applied special techniques and digital tools to determine the first infections and cases, the government would handle the pandemic or its consequences better than letting the infection spread everywhere. So they didn't have different measures for different locations, right? And did you look into why certain locations have a much higher death toll or spread of the virus? I think that is the first cases where we are in these places. Because they are tourist destinations, especially in winter for foreign tourists. So the pandemic started from there and the government was very late in halting air travel. They halted air travel in about 19 March. It's very late. And they were inefficient in their policy responses. Also, the urban areas were very high in their mortality rates than the rural areas. But the rural areas were more affected by the socio-economic implications of the pandemic than the urban areas. So if the government was aware of the geographic distribution of the pandemic in Egypt, it could apply a place-based approach for managing the pandemic instead of affecting all people. Yes, I guess there were very different approaches in different countries and different delays. And so it's a very interesting point to make. I think it would have been nicely for you to discuss also with the other presentation that looks at the rate of the reproduction numbers across different countries and see how it sits within a larger debate and a global perspective. But unfortunately, we won't have the panelists attending today. OK, I mean, I think it's almost 35 past now. So I think if there are no other questions, we can end this panel a bit earlier. So you can see what I think there's like immediately some sessions afterwards on if I recall correctly on some capacity building sessions that are discussing different data sets and so forth. So thank you very much, Amani, for your presentation. And it was very interesting. Thank you for attending. Also, yeah, also to our other presenters who sent us the pre-recorded video, Eventore and Nayantara Sama, I hope that there will be some follow up discussions or contacts or if you find people that are doing basically related research to your topic, feel free to reach out to them. Yeah, yes. And as we see in the chat, if you and we close the session, you can move to a coffee break room. Or I guess I can also leave it open if people want to have discussions on other topics. Or yeah, you can you can also use the other forums of the conference for that. OK, then thank you, everyone. Thank you, Sumion, for the support. And then I will see you in the other forums. Thank you.


After nearly a year on the market, Ryan Seacrest cut the listing price of his Los Angeles home down by a whopping $10.5 million. He bought the mega mansion from fellow TV host Ellen DeGeneres back in 2012 for $39 million and considering he lives in Manhattan most of the time now, he put it on the market for $85 million back in 2020. The home is massive but still has charming details like elegant wood beams and neutral colors making it as homey as can be. Over on the east coast, Ryan's luxury townhome boasts 9,500 square feet of space and features like a master suite which takes up its very own private floor. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Currently the highest paid host on TV, Ryan Seacrest reportedly earns over $10 million for hosting live with Kelly and Ryan, also the most watched talk show during the pandemic. When he is not on camera he also works as an executive producer with credits that include Keeping Up with the Kardashians. All of his success thus far has provided Ryan with a net worth of over $450 million according to Forbes so it's no wonder he can afford some insane rent costs to New York City. Hey guys it's Cara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here in Famous Entertainment, this one checking out the homes of Ryan Seacrest including the Beverly Hills compound he has on the market. Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit me up on Instagram to chat. Now let's get into this video. Since Ryan has been hosting live with Kelly and Ryan for a handful of years now of course he spends most of his time residing on the East Coast where filming takes place in the heart of New York City. He's been living his best life since moving here in 2017 residing in a massive Manhattan townhouse nearby his co-host Kelly Ripa and reportedly while he pays $75,000 per month in rent. This stunning home offers 9,500 square feet of space along with six beds and six baths throughout. He has given fans a look inside such as the time he posted a video doing jumping jacks at home stating at home workout using stuff in the kitchen fighting calories with calories. While the space is big enough for more than one, Ryan lives there alone at the moment as he used to share the home with his ex-girlfriend Shayna Taylor. After they broke up for the third time she decided to pack her bags and move out. However, he seems to be enjoying the mansion just fine on his own. The former couple always loved the open kitchen in Ryan's New York crib because they were always cooking a lot of meals. He sat in 2018, coming from California we had a lot of space so we like it for that reason. We also like it because it's an open room so you're never separated. One of us could be watching something, one of us could be in here and you could still talk and feel like you're connected. While life away from LA and its sunny weather was a bit of an adjustment for Ryan he grew to love it after a few years in the city. Probably thanks a lot to his luxury home with features like a rooftop garden and six wood-burning part places. This upper east side townhouse was reimagined by Michael Chen Architects with the mission of building a brand new structure inside a 19th century mansion. The house was built in 1879 but finished the major renovation just before Ryan decided to call the place home. It's located in Lenox Hill just a block from Central Park and closed its place of work. Some of the townhouses standout features include Ryan's exclusive master suite which spans the entire third floor, the rooftop terrace with garden and seating and an elevator that services all six floors. In total there's about 11,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space combined. It's an eco-conscious townhouse which used locally sourced materials and worked by local artisans to craft the beautiful home. There are also 15 zones of energy efficient climate control and the gardens are tended to by automatic irrigation systems. The home is entered at street level with the foyer boasting a custom sculpted ceiling and black limestone heated floors. This floor also has a south facing kitchen, decked out in white oak, marble and top grade appliances. The parlor floor has a combined formal living room and dining room along with a large pantry and offers nearly 1,500 square feet of entertaining space with 12 and a half foot ceilings. The Emmy-winning host has fitted the living room with a rust-colored couch in the space also boasts an eye-catching stone wall. Fortunately, his couch is big enough for his dogs as well. The third floor master suite has a luxe bathroom that spans the width of the home, a dressing room with morning kitchen and a private terrace. Up on the fourth and fifth floors you'll find the guest rooms as well as a casual living room with full wet bar and custom skylight. A glass penthouse structure opens to the rooftop garden which also offers a full outdoor kitchen and grill. At the height of the pandemic in 2020, Ryan converted his Luxe Town home into a full-time work-from-home setup. Not only did he host season 18 of American Idol from his living room, but he also led ABC Disney's Family Singalong from the comfort of his own home on more than one occasion. He even added some Disney touches to his house for the events, including a vintage Disneyland sign and a Beauty and the Beast figurines. Fans can certainly count on Ryan to truly commit to each of his jobs, whether it's decorating his house or wearing a crazy costume. In 2021, after eight months on the market, Ryan dropped the price of his Beverly Hills home by $10.5 million, making the new asking price $74.5 million. As it stands, he hasn't sold the Mega Mansion yet, but if he does sell at this amount, he stands to make a major profit. He bought this estate way back in 2012 off of Ellen DeGeneres for $39 million and listed it in 2020 for about $85 million when he started living in New York City full-time. While the mansion is no doubt massive, it still manages to retain charm and warmth thanks to understated accents throughout like reclaimed teak-beam floors, wood beams, and neutral colors. During Ryan's time living here, he redesigned a lot of it and made the interiors a lot more inviting. Not to mention, he reportedly spent another $2 million purchasing an adjacent add-on property. The mansion is located in a super private and prime section on its own street in Beverly Hills, behind Gates, of course, and on over three acres of land. It's one of the grand resort-like compounds in the area with five structures set among gardens and water features, also perfect for indoor outdoor living. The modern property features a main house covering 9,200 square feet and two guest houses or studios, adding up to a total of 15,000 square feet. There's even another full-detached three-bedroom guest house on the property. There were nine beds and 11 baths throughout, and Ryan's home had every amenity you could think of as well as state-of-the-art security. The gourmet kitchen opens up to outside in an outdoor pizza oven, perfect for enjoying the LA weather, while the living room offered 22-foot high-beam ceilings and a fireplace. And that's just the beginning. Ryan's estate had a home movie theater, a spa, a world-class gym, a games room, and even a bar lounge space. His one-time master suite boasts its own meditation garden for him to relax, and the serenity continues outside, where there are gorgeous ponds and gardens. The grounds overlook amazing city views and the Los Angeles basin, and of course, there was a swimming pool out back. In fact, the cherry on top was definitely the view of LA you got from the nearby pool house. The landscaping and greenery added to the feeling of tranquility at the property, even with the many amenities and its grand size. It's like a beautiful painting. You can't help but notice its beauty. Realtor Kurt Rappaport of West Side Estate Agency had said about Ryan's home, and continued, it's perfectly proportioned and it's set in the middle of incredible gardens. It just has a great calming feeling to it. While there was even a fire here a few years ago that caused significant damage to his home, it has since been fully repaired. All right, now we've taken a look at the homes of Ryan's secret, both in New York and LA, so that wraps up this house tour. What did you guys think? Is that mega mansion worth almost 75 million dollars? How about his New York City townhouse? Well, from the price tags on both those properties, we know that Ryan doesn't even have to worry about that. Be sure to let me know which of the homes you would prefer to live at down in that comment section. Thanks for checking out Ryan's homes with me. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram, and I'll see you all in the next video. Bye.

Hi, this is Jack Lipton and Critical Metals Corner. Today I want to bring up something that I think has been overlooked by everyone in the electric vehicle space. And that is, since I believe there isn't going to be enough of the three key materials, the most critical critical materials, lithium, cobalt and the rare earths, there's going to be a contest rationing. I'm calling this the trifecta. Trifecta, for those of you who aren't horse race fans, means you have to pick winners at three levels. In a horse race, you have the winner. The next one holds the place and the third one shows. So it's win place and show. A trifecta is a bet that your picks will win in that order. Well, lithium, cobalt and rare earths are actually in that order, win place and show for EVs. But the problem is that there isn't enough of all of them. There certainly is not enough lithium to transform any real significant portion of the global automotive fleet before the year, God knows, 2080. There's definitely not enough cobalt and there's not enough rare earths. So what I'm saying is while we're all looking at this transformation, please start thinking that many companies are going to fall by the wayside. I'm not talking about mining companies. It's a bull market for mining producers. I'm talking about the end users, the car companies. You may think, oh, how can Toyota or General Motors or Ford or God forbid Tesla go out of business? Believe me, it's easy. The between 1900 and 1912, 508 car companies started up. Sound familiar to those of you thinking about Silicon Valley? By 20 years later, there were about 20 of them. And in 1950, there were six or seven. So this is an industry that's gone through this. Automotive was once the Silicon Valley of industry. Believe this or not, in 1956, General Motors was the largest industrial corporation in the world as Apple is today. General Motors revenues, market cap, et cetera were one fifth of America's gross national product. Think about it. Today, that gross national product is $21 trillion and Apple is 10% of that. Apple's market cap. So the banner has passed from automotive. And automotive, in my opinion, that sounds dramatic, is in a death spiral. There's only so much material to make EVs and it's going to be, the winner take all, it really is. And I'm not gonna say right now who I think won't be around by the time the EV revolution completes, but there'll be some famous names that are gone or absorbed by other companies. So be careful if you are going to invest in manufacturing. They are really now in a bad place as far as sourcing critical materials. European companies have given us a great deal more thought than American companies. Japanese companies have given a great deal more Korean and of course the Chinese are already there. They've sourced everything they need for what they plan to produce for the next decade or two. We've fallen behind and we're gonna pay the price in companies, they're going to be gone. Watch out what you invest in. Thanks, talk to you next time.


So when I just want to take a few minutes of your time of just to speak briefly on this subject called The battlefield of the mind somebody say the battlefield of the mind And our proofs text proof text would be Proverbs 23 verse 7 if you don't have your Bible it's gonna be on the screen and it says this whatever man thinks in his heart So is he whatever the man thinks in his heart So is he I just want to do Just to exercise your thinking process this morning if you have your phone or something that you're gonna be taking notes with I want you to to do this with me. I want you to write down a number between one and ten Write down a number everybody, please write down a number between one and ten all right I want you to double it and now I want you to add six to that number and Then divided by half Then subtract The number you originally started with you guys ready for this one. All right your number is three Yeah, I don't know how that works, but anyways It's weird. I tried every number it all comes out to three This is good. So I just wanted to make sure that you guys are all here You know, I used to wonder I used to wonder before what other people are thinking about have you anybody wondered about that? What is that person sitting across me is to what's happening through your what's happening through their mind? And you know and I got Facebook and now I don't really want to know what other people think about cuz Whatever they think they usually put up on Facebook Experts estimate that there's an expert estimate about 50,000 thoughts per day, which means about 2,100 thoughts that you and I think per hour 2,100 thoughts that we think power and there was another Estimate is that in 2009 study shows the journalists of circulation looked at a data from nearly a hundred thousand women and found that the most cynical Participants were more likely to have a heart disease than the least cynical folks. The more pessimistic Woman also had a higher chance of dying over a study of period versus those who were more optimistic about humanity This this morning. I just want to talk to you about our mindsets Our minds and what do we think about all day long? What is those thoughts that are begin to dominate your mind? Whatever dominates your mind will dominate your life? Whatever begins to dominate your mind on your daily, whatever the majority of your thoughts are That is the same thing that's going to dominate your life We have to understand that The Bible really talks about the heart that we talks about our mind and it says that you know, you know The the Pharisees and sages begin to tackle the issue of actions Don't do this don't do this don't do that You know if you do this you'll be punished But Jesus comes on the scene and begins to challenge everybody and he says no Don't concentrate on the actions begin to concentrate on the heart begin to concentrate on your mind because out of the hearts Begins to spring forth You know the the fear the jealousy the hate the the every single thing it just begins to say you know You say that if you kill your brother or whatever I say if you hate your brother It's as if you commit murder You begin to talk about you know if you Commit adultery by I come to you say that if you look at a woman lustfully it's as the same thing as you've already done it Jesus begins to tackle the issue of the heart of the mind He begins to say that no don't begin to try to solve You know your actions begin to look at the heart begin to look at your mind. What is dominating your mind? What is big? What are you filling your mind with because what you dominate your mind will begin to dominate your life?  We are the products of our thoughts Whatever our thoughts are being filled that that is what you are a product of you are today because of your thoughts yesterday and Tomorrow you'll be of what your thoughts are today You are today of your thoughts of yesterday and tomorrow you'll be Because of the result of the thoughts that you have today What begins to fill your mind? Is it negative news is it that you begin to see? Oh the world is coming to an end things are going down.  Oh doctor had I have the sickness that might be cancer Everybody's being laid off in my job. I'll probably next what is dominating my is it positive things or is it the fear that is around you? You don't need to go too far to be able to see negative things Just turn on CNN you always begin to see either shootings there killings there things like that and some people like oh You can't be taking the planes.   I Know many people.   But what's around you the circumstances that you have in your life?  Don't make it to think. Oh my son is there.  She's talking to her at a party or things like that. No, you need to fill your mind with the word of God Whatever begins to fill your mind will a sooner or later become your words words and thoughts they are you cannot separate the two if If if you are saying something sooner or later, you will think it if you are thinking something sooner or later you will say it What are you saying? What are you thinking your mind? What begins to dominate your mind one thing? somebody said that 70 to 80 percent of your thoughts are repetitive They so the more you begin to think certain things the more they begin to repeat in your life and the more bit They begin to dominate your life.   In your mind Do you begin to understand that the word of God is on my side that the word of God has a lamp between my feet in the Light to my path that every decision that I make God is by my side and I will not be defeated Or are you living? Oh, you know, I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow tomorrow's not promised to anybody You know mistakes are gonna come place and you begin to feed in your mind But I believe as a church where grown-up in generation will be standing on the promises in the word of God in my church I want you to tell your neighbor. I'm not a victim Say louder. I'm not a victim. I am a victor. I am who God says I am Say louder. I am who God says I am I Can do what God says I can do and I have what God says I have come on put your hands together for Jesus Christ If you lose a battle in your mind, you will lose that battle in your life Don't expect a better life when you are defeated in your mind Don't expect positive results when in your mind you do not want to take your mind under control under management and begin to dominate What do you say about your finances? What do you begin to say when you want your work and things are not to begin to be going good and in your mind like oh You know, I just don't have enough. I don't have enough to pay my bills. Oh, we're probably gonna be short this month Oh, everything the next business that we're gonna do all this business. I begin to fail I'm most likely I'm gonna I'm gonna be bankrupt and all these things Did you know that an average millionaire goes through bankruptcy three to four times? What makes them separate from the other people is they have mind management They know one thing that you know, it I go through this but inside I have more than enough Inside God has given me not a spirit of fear but of a strength of power of love and a sound mind Everything my hand touches will be blessed everywhere my footsteps will be blessed. I shall be blessed as I come in I shall be blessed as I come out. That is their mindset The rest of the people when they see a certain opportunity like well, you know, if if it didn't work out, you know It's it's it's not God's will for me If it's you know, if it doesn't go right if things begin to go against me You know, then it probably God doesn't want me to do I'll just I'll just settle I'll just relax and they live a lifestyle and a mindset of defeat Many many people that they begin to come to church and they they come out of a life That's been dominant and been broken by sin but by Satan that begins to be crippled and when they see the promises of God It's no that's too good to be true. I Know many guys who come out You know of a lifestyle of partying of drinking and God wants to bless them with the good marriage God wants to bless them with the good relationship, but in their mind They're so broken they're like God, you know, I don't I don't deserve a good relation because look at what I've done And the relation begins break begins to break it and begins to break and they see why is these things happen? God feel a good life.  What is running through your mind? I had to I remember there was there were times in my in my life where You know, I I begin to think in myself. I'm like, you know, I don't I don't deserve I don't I don't deserve a good life that God asked for because you know some things that I've done And I'm just looking at my life I'm like well God just give me enough not to not for it to be bad and that's I'm happy with it And as I begin to read the scripture and I begin to the word of God begin to enlighten my mind that no You just don't need to settle for normal You need to settle for the best because God has given his best on the cross for you So if you're just setting for a miracle, it does not make sense If God would just give just the normal of the heavens for you then you can settle for normal But God has given the best from heaven so you can have live a life that is the best We will not be in the bottom will be in the top Will not be the tail will be the head and that is the promises of God What is dominating your mind this morning church is it? Horror is it last is it envy is it see what it begins to you have the power to control it You have the power to change it that tomorrow will be a better future a man church I want to I want you to write number two a man's life is what he thinks about all day long a Man's life is what he thinks about all day long. I know many many people that you begin to The there's a scripture that talks about in Romans 12 verse 22 I just want to read it for you and it says this and do not be conformed to this world But be transformed But the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect Will of God You can change your mind by transforming it through the word of God You can take your mind what it you feel like your mind is dominated by by loss by envy by anger by its depression by fear All these things you can renew it by the taking God's word making a part of you and by its very nature The word of God will begin to change your life your behavior and everything that has to do with you man church I want you to write down few quick steps of how to win the battle in your mind How to win the battle in your minds? number one fill yourself with positive information just like we read it right now in the scripture that Begin to renew your mind by the word of God Fill yourself with positive information fill yourself with the word of God the word of God has to Dominate your mind the moment your word of God begins to dominate your mind It will dominate your life the word of God is only blessing the word of God is not something that you can take and it will Never benefit you when you take the word of God and make it part of you if it's by its very nature will transform it your life How far is the word of God from you? You need to begin to fill your life when you see somebody say oh, you know everything I remember going to this one person's house and they always talk so bad about that the government It's like any president that comes on this thing.    It says this Casting down argument and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ to the obedience of Christ You cannot Control the thoughts that come in into your mind, but you control if they stay or they go You cannot control whatever whatever thought comes sometimes it's just thoughts of love sometimes enemies sometimes of anger sometimes of Temptation they come you cannot control that but you control if those thoughts stay or they leave The Bible says that we need to bring every thought into the Compatibility of Christ because we have the power of the name Jesus Christ that I command if any time the Satan comes to begin To tempt us we can command Satan to go and he will flee Jesus at all times he was tempted, but he used the word of God and Satan went away from him You too have the the word of God the name of Jesus Christ at your command and you can bring the thought Into captivity You don't stop a bird over flying over your head, but you can stop that bird from building a nest on top of your head Same thing every thought every negative thought Devil sense in your life. You can stop it from dominating your mind to rule and controlling your mind and then You can live a life of victorious a man church even for me one of the practices that I actually have I Even have notifications on my phone every two to three hours I write certain things towards my life. For example, like I'll be the best son. I'll be the best father I'll be the best husband, you know, I'll have more than enough all the promises of God God is on my side and I'll now and I will not fear anything. No God has not given me spirit of fear But a power love inside of mine I have those notifications always popping up to me because I know one thing that if I fill my life with the word of God I'll live a victorious life and I'm telling I started doing that about a year a year ago and they and as I look back as I look back Whatever the things that I wrote down on my phone today. They are made into reality a Year ago remember I was sitting there and I was I've been showing in my home group I was like hey guys, you know, it would be this would be awesome things to put up Reminders on your phone that when they pop up you think it's a text message But you look at it and your mind registers. Hey, I have more than enough When you when you look at the eye and you look the The phone again and the reminder says, you know, I'll have the best marriage I'll have the best relationship and register your mind because once your mind begins to be dominated by that That's what you will have Today I look at my life and I'm not surprised of the things that I have because I know that is what's dominating your mind What is dominating your mind? Every thought that is not your own you can bring it into subjection into christ jesus You can bring that thought and you can you can begin to reject the thought and you can take the thoughts of our lord And savior jesus christ the thoughts that we think The the the thoughts of god that we think that's to the same extent that we think the thoughts of god To the same extent will have the power of god And the last And the last point is this confess god's word Confess god's word joshel 1 8.  I like what prophet to be joshel as we says and he says the extent that we think The thoughts of god is to the same extent. We will have the power of god The extent we think the thoughts of god to the same extent will have the power of god This morning my my question to you. Are you living a victorious life? Are you living a Or a victim life? Is your life being dominated by sin by fear by depression or is your life Dominated by the word of god, but what god's word says. Yeah, you may say my circumstances You know, they're they're not changing. It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time that you will have a victorious life A year ago looking looking back now a year ago when I started when I started Begin to say to myself every day even though my circumstances told me otherwise. I knew one thing Sooner or later that word of god will begin to dominate my mind Once it dominates my mind it will dominate my actions and my behavior You you can't you have to understand one thing You control your mind by your mindset controls you you control your mind By your mindset controls you your mindset is is just a house of thoughts of many thoughts that you put together over a long period of time and as as you As you begin to think certain thoughts for so many times sooner or later begins to spill into your mindset And your mindset is that is who you are If you want to change your mind you start off changing your mind every day But once thought at a time Once thought at a time one thought at a time begin to take the thought and you begin to bring it Into subjection for christ jesus and my church. So I just want to go over those things one more time It's number one Fill yourself with positive information Fill yourself with positive fill yourself with the good things You know if you have a friend that is always negative, you know lose them Seriously, just just get rid of because they will bring down your life I know so many people who surround yourself with a negative crowd and they're like well Why is my life so bad like that? Well because that's who you surround yourself with Fill yourself with the positive information the things that god is doing Yeah, god might you know certain things might not be happening But the testimonies that we heard today is enough to show you that god is good That god is good That's why every service we show testimonies to show you the god's goodness god's mercy. He did not change Yesterday today and forever. He is still the same. Fill yourself with positive information Maybe even out of out of the 10 people who went to spy out jericho and they said look We cannot take that land And the two people came and they said No, god is on the side.  Let us put our hands together for jesus christ
