Moving on to the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Year, unanimous as far as the jury is concerned for this particular award. Let's find out who that goes to. It was indeed a privilege to give this award, to be chairing the jury for this award. What we not only looked at the body of work that the person has done over the last few years, few decades. We also looked at some important factors like what has been the contribution of this person to the industry. What are the kind of institution and legacy that the person has left behind which has endured for many more years after this. And also more importantly looked at the kind of whether the person embodies the values, the true values of what public relations are all about. And I'm actually happy that to actually announce Rajesh Chaturvedi for the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Year, I think he truly embodies all of his Rajesh too much. Rajesh Chaturvedi at Factors PR, Lifetime Achievement Award, acknowledges the immense contribution of Mr. Rajesh Chaturvedi to the PR fraternity. Today for 17 days, task of reading out a brief statement on his behalf. So he says, thank you Anuragji, the exchange for media group and the jury members of IPRCCA for this kind consideration. I'm truly humbled by this offer as it's an appreciation from a jury of my peers. In a lighter window, while the phrase Lifetime Achievement is deeply gratifying, it also has a worrying pre-obituary tone to it as it means I'm no means ready to retire. Especially as I feel that the Indian PR industry is truly at an inflection point and will grow exponentially in the months and years ahead. More importantly, we in the industry as a whole are doing some truly inspiring and innovative work which compares with the best of the best globally. I'm happy to see that PR has now emerged as a mainstream career choice for the best and the brightest and working with these young fertile minds keeps us on our toes, exciting me no end about what lies ahead. However, in today's digital volatile uncertain world where chaos is the new normal, I'm afraid that we might be losing out on an essential ingredient of public relations, namely relationships. I've always firmly believed that relationships are at the very core of everything we practice as PR professionals, be it public relations, media relations, employee relations, government relations, shareholder relations, community relations, everything has a relationship aspect to it. All key constructs of our profession and all of which rely deeply on relationships. In fact, I would not be amiss if I state that the little success I have had in my professional journey has been built on relationships nurtured over the years. Further, public relations is all about creating acceptance and understanding for your point of view. However, understanding can only happen in a specific relation dynamic if there is humility, mutual respect and empathy towards the other person. We simply need to be accepting of all points of view. I suppose what I'm trying to say is you have to understand to be understood. This is a philosophy we live by at Adfectus PR, where we are less of a company and more of a collective of friends, peers, mentors and colleagues. What I have achieved would not have been possible without the love of everybody in the Adfectus family, most notably without the trust, understanding and support of my friend, philosopher and conscience keeper, Madan Bahel. Lastly, and most importantly, a huge thank you to my wife Renu and my daughter Neha for their unsteady support and patience. Thank you all. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Very well deserved indeed.


When we look out into the universe, far enough, we see on average the same distribution of galaxies in all directions. In other words, there is no preferred direction in space, it's isotropic. But being isotropic for us doesn't necessarily mean it is isotropic for viewers in far-off locations. It is possible to imagine galaxy configurations where things look the same in all directions from one point of view and not from another. But this is unlikely. Our assumption is that all observers will see the same isotropic distribution of galaxies. In other words, there is no preferred location in the universe. It's homogeneous. Galaxy densities are the same everywhere as long as we are viewing large enough distances and volumes. This is the cosmological principle. It simply states that the universe is both isotropic with no preferred direction and homogeneous with no preferred place. All directions are equal and all places are equal as far as the laws of physics are concerned. But we know that galaxies clump up into galaxy clusters, and that these galaxy clusters clump up into superclusters. So to get to this cosmological principle, we need to be talking about distances of many billions of light-years. For comparison, it's like saying the surface of the earth is a sphere, but up close we see mountains and valleys galore. It isn't clear that we have a sphere until we get far enough away for the nearby structures to average out. We have to go out 45,000 kilometers to actually see the sphere. For thousands of years, it was taken for granted that the universe was static. It always was, as we see it now, and it always will be. This was the case when Newton developed his gravitational equations, and it was the case when Einstein developed his general theory of relativity. Then in 1929, Edwin Hubble published his studies of galactic velocities. He found that, except for a few nearby galaxies, all the spectra shifts were to the red. All of them were moving away from us. Here's what we see from galaxies in our Virgo supercluster out to 100 million light-years. He discovered that the universe was expanding away from us. His Hubble law says that the further away a galaxy is, the faster it is receding away from us. The relationship is linear, a straight line, so the equation is simple. The receding velocity of a galaxy is equal to its distance times a constant, now called the Hubble constant. This constant has been refined over time, and the distances used have increased by orders of magnitude using tools like the Hubble Space Telescope to analyze Type 1a supernova out to billions of light-years. The box at the lower left shows the region that Edwin Hubble probed. The current best value for the Hubble constant using this approach is 20.86 km per second per million light-year. That is, the receding velocity of a galaxy goes up by almost 21 km per second for each additional million light-years away from us. This slow and steady movement of galaxies away from us is called the Hubble flow. Here are galaxy, galaxy A, separated by a large distance from galaxy B. In galaxy A's frame of reference, it is at rest. Galaxy B is moving away. Its distance from the Milky Way will continue to increase as time goes on. It follows that going backwards in time, galaxy B was getting closer to the Milky Way. We see that, at some point in the distant past, they would have been extremely close to each other, assuming for now that the velocity is constant. We can divide it into the current distance between the two galaxies to see how long it took them to get this far apart. That's just one over the Hubble constant. So without actually knowing the distance between them or their separation velocity, we find the two galaxies would have taken 14 billion years to reach their current separation. When we combine the cosmological principle with our view that all distant galaxies are moving away from us, we conclude that all galaxies are moving away from each other and that the further away a galaxy is from any other galaxy, the faster it is moving away. It follows that going back in time, all galaxies in the universe were once extremely close together, if not actually in the exact same place at the exact same time, 14 billion years ago. The flow of all galaxies away from each other, with faster velocities the further away from each other they are, cannot happen in a fixed volume because in a fixed volume some reference frames would have to have distant objects heading towards them for others to have them moving away. It can only be explained if the space that these galaxies exist in is itself expanding. This is the base assumption for the Big Bang Theory. Here's a one dimensional example to illustrate why this is the case. Consider an 8 meter circle with marks 1 meter apart. If we are at the top mark and all the other marks are moving away from us, then from other points of view marks are getting closer. The system is not homogeneous, but if the apparent motion is due to the amount of space expanding we get a different picture. Here the marks hold their position on the line, but the line grows. Let's say each meter on the line expands to 2 meters over the course of a minute. We see that the distance between adjacent marks goes up 1 meter and their apparent velocity as seen by each other is 1 meter per minute. But more distant marks have increased their distance and velocity by more than that. And the further away any two marks are the more their distance and velocity have increased. And most importantly, this will be the same no matter which mark is used for the reference frame. In order to illustrate the point, this example uses an expansion rate that is 74,000 trillion times greater than the actual expansion rate as determined by the Hubble constant. The real expansion is very slow. If we take a look at what the expansion does to 1 meter, we see that it would take a million years to expand by just 7 millionths of a meter. That's way too slow to ever notice or even measure in a lab in a lifetime. And it is why it's so easy to overcome it with local gravity out to the Andromeda galaxy. It should be noted that this expansion of space itself does not pull apart objects that exist in that space. A meter stick does not expand. It will measure 2 meters where there once was only one. That's because the size of the meter stick is determined by the forces that hold it together and these forces are not changing. Expanding space has significant implications for measuring distance. Consider a racetrack that's 100 kilometers long at the time the race car crosses the starting line traveling 200 kilometers per hour. If we set its odometer to zero when it leaves the starting line, it will read 100 kilometers when it reaches the finish line in half an hour. Now suppose the track is expanding at 50 kilometers per hour. How long will it take to reach the finish line and how far will it have traveled? It will be more than a half hour and further than the 100 kilometers that the track started with but it will be less than the length of the track when the car crosses the finish line because some of the expansion will have happened to space the car had already traveled through. A little algebra gives us the exact numbers. Now suppose we didn't know the track's distance at the start but we did know how fast the car travels and the car's odometer tells us how far it traveled. And furthermore, suppose we found a way to figure out that space was expanding at 50 kilometers per hour. With that, we can figure the original track size and we can figure out how far apart they were once the car reached the finish line. The principles are the same for light traveling to us from distant galaxies. Here we are zooming into GNZ11, the most distant object ever found. The galaxy's redshift, combined with Hubble's law, gives us the distance the light traveled 13.4 billion light years. And we know the speed of light so the time traveled was 13.4 billion years. We normally say that the galaxy is therefore 13.4 billion light years away, but during its long travel time, space expanded considerably. In fact, GNZ11 was less than 2.7 billion light years away from us when the light started its journey and the galaxy is now over 30 billion light years away. In order to calculate these distances, we need to know how the universe expanded during the light's journey. It's not like the simple constant we used in the car racetrack example. In fact, we'll be spending the remainder of this video on just how and why our universe's expansion behaves the way it does. And we'll return to GNZ11 along the way. Note that if a galaxy is far enough away, its apparent velocity will be faster than the speed of light. And its light would never reach us. It would be beyond the physical visible horizon for the universe. It's not that it is moving through space that fast, it's just that more space is being created per second between us and them, then light can traverse in one second. Plugging in the numbers, we find that all galaxies beyond 14 billion light years could never be seen here. GNZ11 is now 32 billion light years away, so the light that is leaving GNZ11 now will never reach us. We now turn our attention to the forces that are causing the universe to expand. We'll start with Newton's gravitational equations. Back in the 1700s, Newton proved a theorem now named after him. It has two parts. The first is that an isotropic, spherically symmetric body affects external objects gravitationally, as though all of its mass were concentrated at its center. For part two of the theorem, we'll drill 30 kilometers into the planet. From here, we are on the Earth's mantle and under the Earth's crust. Counting the oceans, around 1.05% of the Earth's mass is now further from the center than our 1 kilogram object. We see that, although the object is closer to the center, the overall force is just a little bit less due to the smaller mass. But what about all the matter in the Earth's crust that is now further away from the center than the object? The force on the object from the shell of matter will come from the sum of all the forces produced by all the molecules in the shell. And what would the total be if the object were elsewhere inside the sphere? Newton had to actually develop calculus to solve this problem. The remarkable result is that the sum total of all these forces is equal to zero. The shell mass has no impact on the object whatsoever. So now, we have the second part of Newton's shell theorem. It states that a homogeneous, spherically symmetric shell exerts no gravitational force on objects within the shell. This is a key idea for our study of cosmology, and it is not readily understood just why we would get a zero result anywhere inside the shell. A quick look at the geometry involved helps. If we put our object at the center and build a cone that intersects with the shell in two opposite directions, we can analyze the force on the object as it moves around inside the shell. At the center, all the forces cancel out. Now move the object towards one side and away from the other. On the right side, the number of molecules exerting a force is increasing by the square of the distance. At the same time, the force from each molecule is decreasing by the square of the distance. The reverse is happening on the left side. The forces continue to cancel each other out. The total force remains equal to zero. The gravitational acceleration of an object on the surface is always towards the center. But it is possible that the velocity of the object is away from the center. This happens when there is an initial velocity, such as when a projectile is shot from a cannon. To understand how the projectile will progress, we need to use the conservation of energy principle together with the total energy of the system at the time the projectile leaves the barrel of the cannon. The initial velocity that enables the object to escape the Earth's gravitational pull is called the escape velocity. It is the velocity that makes the system's total energy equal to zero and the object will slowly approach a velocity of zero but never quite reach it and it will never return to the Earth. In this example, the initial velocity is less than the escape velocity. So the total energy is negative and the object will fall back to Earth. If the initial velocity is greater than the escape velocity, the total energy is positive and the object will go on with a non-zero velocity forever and never return to the Earth. It has escaped. If we scale up our previous Earth-bound bullet example to galaxies in the universe, we can apply Newton's equations for force, gravity, acceleration, and his shell theorem to gauge how the universe might evolve over time. Picture a wide enough expanse of the universe so that the cosmological principle holds true. We'll center our example on ourselves here in the Milky Way. We are at rest in our own reference frame. Consider a galaxy like IC 1101 a billion light-years away. Our question comes down to how will this galaxy move with respect to us? Given the galaxies are made up of electrically neutral molecules, the only force at work here is gravity. If we build a sphere with us at the center and IC 1101 at the surface, we can calculate the gravitational force on an acceleration of IC 1101 from all the matter, from all the galaxies within the sphere. And we can use Newton's shell theorem to cancel out all the other gravitational forces in the universe. We find that the mass density inside the sphere is all that matters. If we take a look at this equation for a minute, you can see its implications for cosmology. If the acceleration, r double dot, is zero, then the mass density of the universe, rho, would have to be zero. In other words, the universe cannot be static unless it's empty. The existence of matter in the universe means that galaxies must not only be moving, they must be accelerating. The other thing to note is that the acceleration is always negative, meaning that it is in the direction of contraction. But we know from our examination of escape velocity that initial conditions can have the universe expanding, even as that expansion is slowing down. Looking at it from an energy point of view, Alexander Friedman, a Russian mathematician and physicist using Newton's model, developed an equation, now named after him, which showed how the universe would behave under various initial conditions. The constant u in the equation represents the total energy per unit mass at the surface of the expanding sphere. There are three possibilities for this constant. It will be zero if the kinetic energy is equal to the gravitational binding energy. In this case, an early rapid expansion will continue to slow as it approaches a steady volume, but never reaches it. This is like the bullet example having the exact escape velocity. It will be a positive number if the kinetic energy is large enough to overcome the gravitational binding energy. In this case, the universe will expand forever. This is like the bullet examples having exceeded the escape velocity. And it will be a negative number if the kinetic energy is insufficient to overcome the gravitational binding energy. In this case, the universe will eventually collapse. This is like the bullet examples having less than the escape velocity. Note that r dot over r is velocity over distance. This is the Hubble constant. We see that it can vary with time. This means that the Hubble constant is not really constant. We call it the Hubble parameter. The value we've been measuring is designated H0 and represents the value of the Hubble parameter at the current time. In order to more precisely analyze our expanding universe, modern cosmologists place a grid over three-dimensional space. We treat the distance between two galaxies, r, as a constant. Then we set the grid's scale factor, a, equal to one at the present time, and vary it to account for changes in distance over time instead of changing r. Now consider a cube enclosing a volume of space containing some number of galaxies. With our scale factor approach, the amount of matter inside the volume remains the same as the volume increases or decreases. But the matter density goes down when the scale factor increases, and it goes up when the scale factor decreases. Sticking with Newton's model and incorporating the cosmic scale factor, we can rewrite the Friedman equation. We see that the scale factor, a, is the only variable. In other words, the history of the universe comes down to the history of the scale factor. And the history of the scale factor depends completely on the contents of the universe and how that content affects the space it exists in. Understanding the evolution of the universe is what cosmology is all about. Up to this point, we've been using the Newtonian equations. For a full picture, we need to use Einstein's general theory of relativity that includes mass energy and pressure. Plus, we need to consider the curvature of spacetime given its mass energy contents. Here's the equation Friedman developed from this starting point. It is quite similar to the Newtonian version with two key differences. First, the mass density is replaced by the energy density, epsilon. And second, the total energy is replaced by the radius of curvature and the curvature constant that equals minus 1, 0, or plus 1, that tells us which metric to use depending on the nature of the curvature. For an isotropic homogeneous universe, this says we must exist in one of these three possible universes. If it's flat, the universe will expand forever at an ever-decreasing rate. If it's spherical, it is closed and will eventually collapse back in a big crunch. And if it's hyperbolic, it is open and will expand forever at an increasing rate. To take into consideration the impact of pressure, the other key component of Einstein's field equations, we need to consider the relationship between pressure and energy density. When we change the amount of energy in a box, the pressure on the walls changes. In a slowly changing volume, the constant of proportionality is called W and varies depending on the nature of the contents of the box. In physics, this is called the equation of state. For matter that is not actually moving inside the box, the pressure is zero, so W is zero. For radiation, it can be shown that W equals one-third, where the number three comes from the number of spatial dimensions. This gives us the same relationship between energy density and the scale factor that we had with Newton's version. With this and the Friedman equation, we can now calculate the history of the scale factor and thereby the history of the universe if we can determine its radiation energy density, matter energy density, and curvature. We define the critical density of the universe as the density that would give us flat space. Any more than this and we have a closed universe. Any less than this and we have an open universe. The flat matter dominated version is called the Einstein Decider Universe after the scientists that developed the model. This critical mass density comes to around five protons per cubic meter. The actual density of interstellar space is on the average of about one proton per cubic centimeter. That's a million times denser than the critical density, but much of the universe is made up of vast voids with far less than this. So five protons per cubic meter could be the number we actually have. Cosmologists like to work mostly with ratios. In this case, we have the ratio of the energy density over the critical density called the density parameter omega. Current measurements have it at very close to one. It is the sum of all forms of energy that fill the universe. At this point in our analysis, we have three components that add up to one, radiation, mass, and curvature. When we observe light from distant galaxies, we are seeing the light from the stars in those galaxies and that light has absorption lines. The same lines measured in a lab give us the wavelength of the light at the time it was emitted. What we observe is the wavelength stretched over the time it took to get here. We define redshift z as the difference between the two divided by the wavelength emitted. In this hypothetical example, we have an object with a redshift equal to six. Once a model for the change in the cosmic scale factor over time is specified, redshift gives us a great deal of information. For now, we'll assume a flat matter-dominated Einstein-Desider universe. This will only get us part of the way to the actual numbers, but it helps illustrate the key role redshift plays in cosmology. First, redshift gives us an object's receding velocity. With our model, we have the object moving away at six times the speed of light. Redshift also gives us the actual cosmic scale factor at the time the light was emitted. It gives us the age of the universe at the time the light was emitted. And it gives us the amount of time the light was traveling. Redshift gives us the distance to the object at the current time and it gives us the distance to the object at the time the light was emitted. You can see why astronomers rely so heavily on redshift measurements. Next, we'll use it extensively to count galaxies. We now turn our attention to some cosmological observations. The way cosmologists judge any model for the universe is to compare the model's predicted outcomes with what we actually observe. You may recall from our video book on general relativity that curved space has different volume implications than we have for Euclidean flat space. So, one way to determine if the universe is flat, spherical, or hyperbolic is to count galaxies at different distances, i.e. different redshifts. If we look out into a flat universe, we would see the number of galaxies vary with the volume. If we look out into a spherical space, we would see the number of galaxies increase more slowly than for flat space, reach a maximum, and then come back down. And if we look out into a hyperbolic space, we would see the number of galaxies increase dramatically faster than for flat space. With our modern technologies, we can see galaxy populations out to around 10 billion light-years. And as far as we can see, the number of galaxies increases according to the flat space model. Observations of galaxy diameters and luminosity distances also show a flat universe. Large-scale space looks completely flat. But if the universe is large enough, say with a radius of curvature at around 200 billion light-years, it is possible for it to look flat to us, examining such a small part of it. So it is still possible that we live in a three-dimensional sphere with a huge radius of curvature. But for the rest of our study of the benchmark model, we'll assume we exist in flat space. By the early 1960s, we had a consistent theory for how the universe scaled over time, with three basic curvature models. Observation of galaxy counts at different distances indicated that the flat model was the best fit. And Type 1A supernova studies gave us a good reading on the value of the Hubble parameter at the current time. But the Big Bang Theory was challenged by a steady-state cosmology that held that the cosmological principle was true for all observers and for all time. Galaxy Redshift was explained as photons losing energy to space rather than space expanding. Plus, the supporters argued that a Big Bang would have left a trace that should be detectable. But nothing had been found. That all changed when the cosmic microwave background radiation was discovered in the mid-60s.


Biological motor control is highly adaptive and efficient, relying on proprioceptive feedback to represent the body's state. Proprioception is thought to play a key role in higher level tasks like action recognition, suggesting that it may provide additional information beyond basic motor control.

Mollach's walleye fishing will open on Friday, December 1st and DNR officials say they're pleased the results of fall population surveys show Mollach's anglers will be able to keep some walleye during the winter walleye season. There will be no bait restrictions and anglers can keep a limit of one walleye 20 to 22 inches or one longer than 28 inches. The DNR members of the Mollach's Fisheries Advisory Committee did discuss sending the large fish limit at 26 inches, but feedback suggested that keeping those fish in the lake was preferred because of the possibility of catching walleye 26 to 28 inches makes Mollach's an attractive destination. There was also concern that a 26 inch limit could result in a higher harvest level that would count against the 2018 allocation.

Thank you. It's wonderful to be here with you again this year. This will be the fifth year that the Hospital Quality Institute has made a commitment and we have committed to always be accountable and to let you know how we did on our previous commitment. Joe Chiani and I have worked together now six years and have always tried to find the intersections in which we could accelerate and catalyze change for greater safety. Now my principal area of my domain is here in California, but I've worked across the United States and I'm always looking for ways to take things to scale. So I'm happy to tell you that we have been working on our collective goal to achieve zero preventable deaths and it's been in three principal areas, sepsis, maternal care and healthcare associated conditions, which correspond to nine of the patient safety movement foundation challenges and our topics such as pressure, injury, hospital and healthcare acquired infections and falls. So I'm proud and to recognize my colleagues, the hospitals and the care teams that have been working very hard to integrate the apps into their practices and to continually work to save lives. In summary, last year we were able to verify 17,284 lives saved and 48,000 harms avoided. The breakdown for that is about 12,345 lives saved from sepsis, 11 lives saved in maternity care and almost 5,000 lives by preventing the harms in conditions that I outlined for you before. Now the other commitment we made in London last year was around a joint partnership with the Foundation and a partnership between Joe and myself and our boards in transparency. Now transparency I think is a very deep cultural intervention and creates the landing strip for the implementation, the sustainability and the results one can achieve by implementing evidence-based practices and the apps, which are the apps. This is pretty personal to me, so I'd just like to take a moment. Back in 2000 I launched and worked with the hospital system that I was employed by and working with on a major transparency issue. We got a lot of attention by the Harvard Business Review, News and World Report for being one of the first out of the foxhole and did you really want to make performance transparent? And our board and our organizations said yes, that we wanted the same information available and to treat our patients, families and communities as we would like to be treated ourselves. Now we had to sedate some of our attorneys and risk managers, but we worked through it and found that this was a real inflection point and how an organization behaved. So being partnered with Joe and with the team at the Patient Safety Movement Foundation has given us the opportunity to take this approach to scale. I was naive. I thought that with positive comment and we received letters from patients and their families from across the United States when they saw this in the popular press about how important this would have been to them. When they had care in hospitals. So I've entered this as we all have our board, our associations and our member hospitals with great commitment to move this opportunity forward. So we prepared dashboards, digital dashboards, which I will show you an example of. For 340 Association member acute care hospitals for them to post on their own websites and to do so voluntarily. And the reason for this was for them to own the dashboard to open up and begin to have conversations internally and with those they serve. One of the Well, it was anticipated, but it exceeded our anticipation effects is that because this is to be public facing to patients and communities and the example of the dashboard I believe is being projected it had to be in language with definitions that consumers could understand which meant medical jargon goes away, the reading and comprehension level is targeted to those we serve and it required engaging patient family advisory groups within the hospitals and some of my colleagues are here today that just have done an outstanding job in this Sutter health system dignity Memorial care Kaiser to really co-create What the content of the dashboard would be refined to reflect? Now the initial start of the dashboard was that we looked at our performance in our hospitals and what areas we wanted To underscore because of the performance that we wish to achieve and to also Correlate that to the apps of the patient safety movement foundation. So we found common ground with the topics We have Five outcomes and this again. I want to emphasize is a starting place and People are asking now gee can we do more say absolutely go forth But our starting place was CLABSI colon SSI and TSV sepsis mortality and VTE Now it also gives the state comparator and a national comparator on how each hospital performs Under that is a Opportunity for each hospital to attest to the fact that they have in place Comprehensive program practice guidelines and evaluation methods for maternity safety for sepsis and for Monitoring and response to respiratory depression What is not shown but is another page in terms of brevity? I didn't place it here is the definitions and We're continuing to get better on the definitions. We now have a statewide Small reactor panel that includes consumers that's working us with us to further refine the clarity and the definition and the Understandability of what we're putting out there and also a room for comment So that if there is performance that's not quite up to par or changes are being made that the hospital can Communicate that directly on their website and be able to stay ahead of a lot of the government publicly reported information That's typically 18 months to two years stale we have had a Slow start but excellent response and Joe. I've got an update for you that just came in last night of the acute care hospital targets 96.3% are Actively engaged in the process and then posted So it's moving along We have and that covers 99 percent of Discharges from those hospitals and We have now See 29 weren't engaged Today we have 13 that are not engaged and we're having encouraging conversations with each one of those CEOs and organizations to get on board So we believe that Transparency disclosure and truth telling To those we serve and to each other a release central Now I'd like to say one word if I could about a precondition is we are viewing Transparency as a precondition and there are two preconditions the one germane today is Transparency but the other is respect for people respect for values for human beings the human condition and treating individuals with love dignity and respect regardless of any Demographic that might serve to divide us Transparency we see as a precondition to any improvement and for an organization to excel a Precondition is not dependent on budget Leadership or governance changes. It is not dependent on external environmental factors a Precondition is the DNA and That must be embedded through each individual in an organization in a willingness to step up and Individually lead with a commitment to transparency For levels of transparency and health care the first is patient with In partnership with their caregivers and providers informed consent development of care plans The term nothing about me without me complete involvement as partners The second is between caregivers to caregivers That we're talking candidly and openly with one another about what we know what we fear How to give each other constructive feedback and make everyone better by virtue of Supporting and mentoring each other The third is between and within our organization So each unit each division each discipline is talking and fully Transparent about the work that's going on and that we're also a transparent between our organizations And that is taking a global picture So I expect that to even be greater and with our industry partners in technology health plans and others and Then the last which this dashboard represents last but certainly not least is the transparency With the public and those we serve so that we are in fact accountable for our work so Joe thanks for the opportunity in the push and To this wonderful community. It's on behalf of our hospitals in California It's a privilege to be part of such a distinguished committed Community of improvers and safety leaders. It's great to be here with you. Thank you


Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you up with hope. Today's channel is a group of sorts and a family. And I hope you enjoy it. All right, so if you haven't already watched the pre-channel video for channeling Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees, make sure you do that. Watch the pre-channel video because I kind of lay the groundwork as to how all this came about. I'm also going to mention, so obviously I'm channeling Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees, and I'm also going to mention that I'm dealing with a bit of a cold virus, our whole family, our whole house has been like a Petri dish for like a week or so.  And so I'm going to need to drink a lot more water than I normally do in a video. So I'm not sure how this is all going to go as far as sound quality. I'm hoping it's going to be a-okay for you guys. All right, so hang with me. All right. So yeah, way to set up the channel, Bridget. Woohoo! Now everybody's going to so want to listen. Well, I hope you do stick around. I am going to tell you that I was filling up my hot water mug. This is just hot water and it's a Mickey Mouse mug and it's a Disneyland Resort mug. It says Disneyland Resort inside. And Andy, as I was walking back down the hallway, I had everything set up and I just heated up my hot water and I came back down the hallway and he said, I love Disneyland. I'm like, you do? And he says, yeah, I love Disneyland. All right, great. Okay, that's a good way to break the ice because you guys, I don't know a lot about the Bee Gees. I know their music, obviously. I've heard their music. No, I have not been living in a cave. I obviously know that they're a singing group. I wasn't sure. And to be super transparent with you, I didn't really know or remember that Andy Gibb was not actually part of the Bee Gees, that he was had his own solo career. So because when that was all going about, I was like a toddler. So it wasn't really my genre, but of course I know some of the music. In fact, yesterday, the song How Deep Is Your Love was playing in my head. And so when I got home from running errands, I listened to that song on YouTube and I watched their video of that song. And lights were kind of going around and the three men, Barry, Maurice and Robin were in that particular video and they were singing. And so I, and I was totally confused too because to be honest, like you guys really, I didn't realize that Barry was Barry. Like I don't know, that's how much I didn't really know about the group. So hopefully if I have holes in this channeling that you guys as fans can fill in the blanks here because it's tricky for me to keep my details straight, as you know, and also they're a group. So there's multiple people here. So let's start chatting with them and see what we get. All right, let's try to keep this organized. Hopefully I will be able to keep it organized. All right. Okay, so I already said hi to Andy. Andy feels super, he feels very young, youthful and almost kind of naive a little bit. Like, I don't want to use the word innocent, but naive, you know, like, like, getting famous really young or something like he's giving me this impression of like a 16 or 17 year old and feels really naive, like not really understanding kind of how being famous works, I guess.  And I feel like, like on different shows, I saw him, I remember this. I saw him at some point, I don't know if it was the 80s or what, but on like solid gold, remember that show? Back in the olden days, he used to come on after Saturday morning cartoons. I'm totally dating myself. But if you remember that, give a thumbs up in the comment. I remember that too, okay? But he says, I enjoy the performances. It's what he's saying, the performances. And it feels like when he's not just singing by himself, but when he's singing with someone else. So that's something that he brings forward. So I'm connecting with him, not Clair Audiently, so I'm not hearing him specifically. I'm more sensing him. So Clair Sentience, which is energetic, energetically giving me information. And then I'm sharing, so I'm going to paraphrase so that I just need to be specific because there's been some questions about that in some of the other videos that I've done for channeling. So I'm trying to kind of give you guys an understanding of how this works for me. Just because it works this way for me, doesn't mean it works that way for you or for other psychics or other mediums. So don't compare. It doesn't do anybody any good. All right. So he is yeah, like in Disneyland and kind of childlike a little bit is what I would say maybe useful. But then I also feel like useful like teenager. And then I see him skipping to like he's 80 or something. Like he missed a whole chunk of time. Like there's this big gap in his time. So I feel like from the time that he was like successful and famous and all that, and the time he died, there was like a it was a blur is what he's kind of showing me or having me feel. So so remember showing me when I say something like that, it's visual, it's clairvoyance. And that's my primary channel, the way I get information. And so he's making me feel like there's this gap that's like whoosh, like he doesn't remember stuff. Like I feel like I'm like in and out of like conscious awareness about stuff. So I don't know if he it feels like he there was addiction issues and it feels like he struggled with that. And I don't know if it was alcohol and drugs or methamphetamines medication, that kind of thing. No, not medication. It looks like methamphetamines. That's exact word that comes forward.  Like, I feel like he was shy. And in order to kind of come out of his shell, like when he was doing a performance and stuff, he could almost like act kind of. And he was comfortable with who he was singing with. It was fine. But he feels like more of an actor is what he feels like to me than a than a musician in that regard, like the way you would kind of feel his vibe. But yet not really like just not like getting overwhelmed by the fame is what I'll say. Okay, getting overwhelmed by the fame. Alright, I don't see him married. I see him having on again off again girlfriends. And I see him having one relationship that feels like it was longer term like on again off again, but longer term, someone that he's referring to that was a really good friend to him and really supportive of him. And she feels like she might have been an actress, like on some kind of a TV show or like a not a daytime soap opera, but like the evening ones that they used to have remember like a dynasty dynasty or falcons crest or something like that. Kind of feels like that like she was on some kind of TV show that wasn't a daytime one. I don't think it was daytime doesn't look like it is. Alright, anyway, so that's why I see I see something big about cars like he really likes like I literally see I don't know if it's a metaphor if it's really but it's like a yellow car. And I don't know it's not like a Mustang but it's something kind of like that like really fancy like this is a big deal. It's yellow like a banana yellow color. And it might have like a black trim along the hood kind of thing, but it's like fancy. So it's like I don't know if he's showing me because he loved cars or if that was because like it was a really special thing for him that he got when he bought his first fancy car or something. I don't know. He also said something he mentioned something to me yesterday. So if you watch the the pre channeling video for Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees, you will see that I talked about this a little bit, but he also said I didn't say this exactly but he also shared with me that he said this is when I saw this is when I picked up the phone and started recording while I was like making myself a healthy dinner because I was talking to my husband and I'm like I need to record this because all the stuff started coming in. And he said something about I forgive I forgive her. His mother he's talking about his mom a little bit like he he can give me the whole thing of course because that would be too many details and that's not confused Bridget, but he made me feel like something about his mother and that he forgives her has forgiven her or she's forgiven him. There's a forgiveness between him and his mom that occurred after he died. And so I want you guys to know that as well. I feel like his mom's in heaven. I'm not 100% sure I feel like she is. But I feel like there's this weird kind of weird but like a dysfunctional dynamic in that family. And I can't dad kind of scares me a little bit. I can't quite tell if he was like really present and overbearing or if he was like non existent kind of like, you know, in his own world or something. But I can't quite get a feel for him. I just don't like I'm not really connecting with that vibe. But I think mom is passed. I think she's in the in the afterlife. And if it's not mom, it's like mom's mom and there's a closeness there of energy, especially with Andy like Andy's bringing that in. I think you were the youngest. Are you the youngest? I think he's the youngest. It feels like he is. And I know Barry's the oldest because he came through really strong yesterday when I was like, Hey, I'm not going to channel but then I ended up kind of channeling. He like big and strong and like I'm going to take care of everybody kind of like the dad. Like he almost was like a dad figure kind of keeping everything together, you know, and they all kind of had this mellow disposition underneath. But at the same time, they each had their own personalities, the boys. And so Andy shows me really looking toward Barry for guidance and direction and advice and stuff. But he didn't like how he tried to kind of and Barry. Okay, so I think this is Maurice that's talking now. Okay, so I know Barry still is with us. Thank goodness, right? He's here on earth at the time that I'm channeling this video.  And but creatively, creatively, they had some um, creatively, it feels like Andy respected Barry and Barry respected Andy's singing ability that he was a good, like he was a gifted singer. And so I want to ask, okay, so I want to ask Maurice since you're just started chatting with me and I'm with Andy as well. Andy and Maurice are here now. And so I'm going to ask Maurice, I'm going to ask you um, so how, how is it that Andy wasn't actually part of the BG's group? How, how is it that that, that wasn't the deal? He says, Oh, he's, he's saying with us from time to time. Oh, he, he performed with us from time to time. He says, Oh, it wasn't like a Michael Jackson thing, if that's what, you know, like the Jackson five or whatever. He said it wasn't like that. It was nothing like that. It was nothing like that. He said, he just, he, his sound, you know, was, was unique. There was something about the tone of his voice that we just felt as a group that he would be more successful on his own. And he didn't really have a desire to want to be part of the group necessarily. Like he, he didn't necessarily say, Yeah, I want to join the BG's and Barry didn't really say, Hey, we want you to join the group. It was kind of, and this is Maurice speaking. Maurice is talking about how it was kind of an unspoken thing that he could have been in the group if he wanted to be in the group. And it kind of feels like they tried to collaborate and do some things together. But it just, it was kind of, he said it was kind of obvious or he said it became apparent. It was pretty apparent that he had kind of his own thing to do in the world. And so he needed to do that. And it's not because he says it's not because we didn't get, we, because we didn't get along, you know, we're brothers. So we fight, of course, and have disagreements. He says, creative differences. That's Robin. Robin just stepped in. Robin just said, you mean creative differences. I like Robin. You guys look, if I had a favorite, I think I'd pick Robin. And do you know why? Because he's the one I zoomed in on that YouTube video that I watched with them performing how deep is your love. And he just seemed so kind of sweet. A little bit like he seemed very, he seemed very, like when I said that Andy seemed kind of shy of the limelight, it really Robin would have been just content, happy being behind the scenes. Like it feels like he like the eye contact thing is like, I don't want to look as long as there's lights and I can't see people. I'm fine with that. And he feels like more of the almost like, I don't want to say engineer mind, but seeing the patterns of things and the cool ways that they could, you know, create, put the instrument instruments together and create something awesome and kind of like a visionary, like he seemed more like he could see the pictures of things and how things could be and how things could work together and stuff. Almost like, yeah, engineer like or science like in his mind. So that's kind of his approach, very methodical. I guess I would say very methodical in his approach, but very contented to be behind the scenes. Actually, he would have been. But he says we always listen to music growing up. He says we always listen to music, you know, growing up in. And it was just something that you could get lost in, you know, you could it could just take you away from whatever you're dealing with. It could just take you someplace else. And I've always, he says, this is Robin says, I've always had an appreciation for that. It's, you know, he looks at me says you would say magical. Yeah, I would say it's like magic. You're right. You're absolutely right on that. Yeah, Robin, I enjoy your energy. It's very calm. And Maurice says he isn't always like that. Maurice, you're funny. Like he's the funny one. Maurice is, I think, although Robin, I think could pull some pranks if you really wanted to, you know, Robin's humor would be more sarcastic. You guys, I think if he was going to be saying, you know, doing those things, yeah. Right. Yeah. All right. So I'm trying to feel into so we've got Maurice and we've got Robin and we've got Andy and Barry's here on the earthly plane. So recording this in March 2019, I'm actually doing this video channeling on March 13. So okay, so is there anything that that the fans would really want to know or care deeply about in regards to the band, the Bee Gees as a band? It looks like they may have started and stopped tours or had some kind of they said health issues, it looks like. So the three, the Bee Gees, Barry and Maurice and Robin, it looks like they started and stopped tours at times because of health issues. Okay, who's health? And they said, well, Barry, Barry's had some problems. They said, and it kind of reminds me that they're making me feel like indigestion kind of issues, but I know that there's more to it than that. It's not just your stomach issues or that kind of thing.  He wants things to go a certain way. And he worries about how things are, you know, and he's the one that would wake up in the middle of the night and go, oh, we got to make sure we do this kind of thing. But he says and Robin says, but I worried, I was like that too, that was kind of that was me too, you know, Maurice doesn't seem like that. Although Maurice does have feel like it feels like Maurice, you have a kind of a little bit of a temper that kind of wavers like of all you could be volatile, maybe, or mellow and kind of funny, like that's how I feel your energy. Health issues. So health issues plagued everyone. Yes. But I know that Andy, I think that Andy died in like a tragic way. They're not sure. It looks like a hard thing. There's not like a formal thing, but I feel like it was his lifestyle that killed him is what I feel like. I feel like there was a, it's weird though, you guys, it's weird. This is when it would be great to actually talk to Barry Gibb and have him be across from me so he could tell me, oh, this is why it feels weird or this is what's weird about it. Because Andy Gibb's death feels like not a total mystery, but it feels like there's and it's not suspicious, but it's not for sure. Like everybody doesn't agree on how what killed him. Let's say that everybody doesn't agree on what killed him, but it's not a super mystery. Like it's not a gosh, how do I say this? It's just kind of weird. I feel like it should be obvious and it just, it just has to, we just have to know if it was okay. So the best way for me to describe this is that his lifestyle killed him. And so Andy's accurate. He says, you can talk about, you know, the choices I made. It's interesting because I see addiction, but I don't know that that caused his death and almost seems like a hard thing, but a heart attack or something like that, a failure of that or upper respiratory thing or something. It's partly because of the abuse of the body that happened before that. So I don't know that it was a drug overdose or that kind of a thing, but it's his heart just goes like it and he can't breathe. That's what it feels like. I can't breathe kind of thing. And it kind of feels like he was sick before that a little bit, but I don't know if he was sick again, self-inflicted sickness, like with alcohol or drugs or if it was he actually had something and then, you know, but he's talking about how he abused the inside of his body was like an old man, you know, but he didn't. It's almost like binging and toxic, binging and having toxic levels of stuff that aren't healthy, but it's a combination of things. You guys, it's not just one thing, it's like a combination of things and how it looks to me. But it's hard to explain this, how it feels. And no, they're not speaking exactly to me and telling me exactly what's going on, because that's not how I hear this information. I don't hear it that way. Maurice is like, yeah, focusing on death. That doesn't sound like a very good song, you know, like he's like lyrics to a song would not be focusing on death. He says death. That's kind of depressing. He says that's pretty depressing. He says we all had our problems. He said we all had our problems. We were really sad when we had to stop. I feel like we had to stop. So why didn't Barry have a solo career? Or did he? He did. At one point, he had a few things that he did by himself or on his own, but he really believed he didn't want credit for it. He didn't want to, he was connected with the family. Like he didn't want to be separate. He did, but then he didn't like it. It didn't feel right or he didn't like that. It's like a family, but it's a band and they have to be together. It's like cohesive. I knew this would be tricky with three dead people. There's nothing else. I'm trying to, I didn't write any questions down ahead of time. I just thought I need to channel you guys and chat with you. So what, there's a lot here I can feel. There's like turmoil. There's tumultuous stuff. There's stuff I could really dig into, I think. Yeah, I don't really know if I want to say that. Now that you are all spirit, Maurice and Robin and Andy, is there something that you would look back on life and give to us who are watching as advice or as insight to us from the afterlife? Now that you're a spirit, looking at your human lives, is there something that you would give advice, Maurice? Just keep, just keep laughing. You got to be smiling. He says you got to smile. Even when you don't feel like it. He says you got to try to keep yourself focused on what you need to do and try to find reasons to be happy. Try to find reasons. Cut the tension. When you cut the tension with something kind of funny, it's definitely underrated. He says having a good time, being funny, he's saying funny, like jokes. It's definitely underrated. He says that's what I would say.  Thanks, Maurice. Robin, do you have something to add? He says take care of your health. He says I don't think people realize how much stress really affects them and you feel pressure and you don't want to let anybody down so you keep going at it. It's not safe for you to do that. Sometimes you got to recognize your own boundaries and really take care of your health. Really take care of your health because taking care of yourself and your body is something that your body gives out. You're done. You're done. I would tell people to really take care of their bodies. Take care of themselves and their health. He's saying take care of your human life. He says take care of your humaneness. Human life, human body. I'm confused by what you're saying. Be human. Okay, so here's the deal. Okay, Robin. All right, so let's see. Take care of the human parts of you. Recognizing, okay, so here's what he's making me feel. Recognizing that there's a difference between the human capacity and the spirit capacity.  So he's saying take care of the human parts of your life. So if you want to still have your body, you need to take care of yourself. That's what he's trying to say. Is that good? So yeah. And Andy, is there something that you'd like to share with us? Advice from the afterlife, looking back on your human life. He says don't be so hard on yourself. Like he's giving this feeling about self judgment or judging yourself, that kind of thing. And he says it's easy to believe what your mind tells you. And so make sure that you are, how do I say this? It's like kind to yourself. It's different than that. Though he's not saying be kind to yourself.  Like be careful what you tell yourself about yourself. What you believe is what is. It's basically what he's saying. Is that correct? He's saying yes. Yeah. All right. Thank you. We've been talking to the BGs, Maurice and Robin and also chatting with Andy Gibb. All right, my friends. So this is Bridget. You've been watching a channel here at Above Life channel. The purpose is to inspire your spirit and fill you up with hope because this is your life. This is your life. So live it. Go ahead and have at it in the comments. Go to town and fill in the blanks or ask each other questions and connect because you are an important part of the channeling. You add value in your comments. And I do try to read all of the comments as well. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for being here at this channel.


Hello everyone, welcome back to another Photoshop tutorial. In this one, I'm gonna show you how to change eye color for the iris and the pupil, and we'll go over the sclera, which is the whites later, inside under about 60 seconds, using the new artificial intelligence masking. Let's start from scratch, I'll walk you through it. Okay, I've got the same image here, load it up. First step, right click on the outside here, and we're gonna convert to a smart object. This is a requirement, then head up to filter, and we're gonna go ahead and select the camera raw filter. Once it does that, you get a whole bunch of options. We want to ignore all of these, go over to the right toolbar here, and then click on this one that says masking. Underneath it, if you hover over, you're gonna see a few options. The one we want is called people, and you'll see in this case, it's identified the person. Click on that, and now look, you can identify, or you can basically mask the entire person. But what if you just wanna mask a particular part, for example, the eyebrows, or the lips, or whatever. In this case, we want the iris and the pupil. I will click the check mark there, and then I will hit create. And now, for the big grand finale, we've got camera raw, but it's now basically applied only to the iris and the pupil, or the eyes. So what do I do? I increase the exposure, and again, this is any color you want. I'm just gonna go ahead and increase it so you guys can see what's happening here. And I don't wanna do too much here. So we've got a little bit of a change. Looks kinda cool, but here we go. Now, just change the hue down here. So if we wanna go with a nice bright, let's go with a nice bright green of some sort, add in a little bit more green. Again, you can do this as you see fit. Increase the saturation to make them look like cat size. Whatever it is you wanna do, that's how you do it inside about 30 seconds.  Job done. Thanks for watching.


Canada to send thousands of assault rifles and millions of cartridges to Ukraine. Canada has announced additional military aid to Ukraine, which includes the transfer of thousands of assault rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition. This was reported by Canada's Defence Minister Anita Anand. She reported that it is about additional military aid from the Colt Canada Company to Ukraine. We are sending 21,000 assault rifles, 38 machine guns and over 2.4 million rounds of ammunition. These weapons will help Ukraine defend itself and our shared values, Anand said on Twitter. Besides Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced additional sanctions against Russia and Belarus due to the aggression against Ukraine. We announced additional sanctions against 11 Russian individuals and 34 legal entities, including security facilities associated with the Wagner Group, the Canadian Prime Minister said. In addition to putting further pressure on Putin's henchmen in Belarus, we are announcing additional sanctions against nine entities linked to the Belarusian financial sector, he added. The sanctions list posted on the Canadian government's website includes, among others, Concord Management and Consulting, owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner Group. Leader of Tartistan Rustam Minikhanov, his wife and Deputy Defence Minister Nikolai Pankov were subjected to individual sanctions.


How are you doing? I'm your host Rich here. We have RichTV Live with our very special guest, the CEO of Longcore Gold, John Barker. How are you doing today, John? Rich, I am wonderful. Thanks very much and a pleasure to talk to you. Pleasure having you on the show. Very excited to learn more about your company and introduce it to our community of investors from all over the world and have a few questions for you. First one, John, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved with Longcore Gold Inc.? Yeah, well, quite a while back I was a mining analyst based out of the UK and I did that for a number of years, ended up as an MD at the World Bank of Canada and went down specialized in African stocks but also the diamond sector and other things and then sort of had enough of the banking world to move back out at a high level to a couple of Canadian listed companies, Southern Europe and both of those were taken out. So I see many juniors come and go from that point of view and I suppose during that time I bumped into Arnie Condrat who's the previous CEO of Longcore Gold and the major shareholder. So I've known Arnie for many years and it was about just under two years ago he approached me and said, would I like to join the team? So I said, sure, let's see if it works out. So I joined them and then lo and behold, about 14 months later, he offered me the position of CEO and he moved to become Executive Chairman and that's how I find myself where I am today and looking forward to the next couple of years, exciting time. Absolutely, we really believe here at Rich TV Live that Gold is undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed at these levels right now that there's so much opportunity right now for junior miners. So what makes Longcore Gold a standout in the highly competitive junior gold mining space? Well, I suppose the top line is we've got 4.6 million ounces of resources that we control. That's, I mean, if you look at the current gold price, it's around $8 billion. But it's one project now, if I was to say, name what's the future of the company, it's the project called a Dumbie. That's 3.2 million ounces of resources around $6 billion sitting in the ground and we've just got just under 85% of it. It's grown really rapidly and that's one of the reasons that you haven't heard because it's called many observers and analysts off guard, especially I suppose as COVID has kept them at home and they don't yet realize the potential it's aggressively growing. We believe it can keep growing its ounces but that's only half the story. The ounces are just half the story. It's the grade. I mean, in other words, the revenue per ton that you're going to get out. It's around double the peer group in West and East Africa where we're operating. So that's what really makes it outstanding. It's that combination. And taking it further, at a Dumbie, if you imagine we've got $6 billion sitting there in the ground, you've still got to do a lot to it obviously. But if you assume, let's say 50% operating margins to such a quality project, then you've got around $3 billion of value. If you assume geological and metallurgical losses, let's say 20%, I'm just pulling figures out here. And you're still looking around $2.5 billion. It's not going to be mine for a number of years. Let's say four or five years. You must apply a discount on the cash flow, et cetera. But our current market cap versus a figure like that is $80 million for our 85% holding. So you can see a huge disjoint in what we believe is the underlying value of this project in our current market cap with hopefully many more ounces to be found at depths below the pit. Wow. That's extremely impressive. A baby market cap with literally billions of dollars of ounces of gold. That's impressive. Now, with what appears to be a developing world-class deposit emerging, which you've discussed, what gives you confidence you can make it happen in the area of the DRC that you operate? Yeah. Well, I suppose a number of things. But I'm just going to pick three things. Looking at the DRC itself, it's becoming a real focus for big companies already. There's various Chinese companies operating. Ivanhurm mining is a very successful lag, Glencore, et cetera, as they realize the potential of sitting in the DRC. And in fact, BHP is the most recent major to suggest they're starting to look in the DRC. So that's the one thing is the DRC is really emerging and it's a wonderful place for geologists and companies to get involved. The second thing that gives us confidence is that 130 miles away, which isn't far in the DRC because it's a big country, and 130 miles away from our Dumbie project, Barrick manages the Kibali gold mine. And it's not just any mine, but it's Africa's largest gold miner. And it's mine there since 2013. So within relative close proximity, they've been there and they've developed this world-class project similar grades in the pit at Barrick's mine to what we're finding at a Dumbie, which is great for us. And it's a real star performer for Barrick year after year. So they've proved what can be achieved around us. But the final thing, and I think perhaps the real catalyst for releasing the value that I'm trying to intimate here is that we have an ongoing scoping study or PEA as we call it, it's been conducted on a Dumbie, just the open pit ounces, just over three million ounces. The valuation is out in only two months time, the second week in December, we're expecting it. And that will increase certainty. Plus, it'll likely increase the interest from press of people like yourself. And I think importantly, investors and corporates alike. So it should be a very, very exciting few months coming as we look to unlock this value. Wow, this is extremely impressive, John. Can you tell us about the management at Longcore Gold, especially their past success in the mining sector? We love to know the people behind the deals. Sure. Well, look, if you want detail, of course, we have our website, www.longcore.com. You can get further detail, but just a brief summary. I mentioned Arnie Condrat, somebody I've known for a long time. He's now the executive chairman and he holds 22% of the shares. He put the company together, but he's actually operated in the DRC for almost three decades. And so he's invaluable with his in-country experience. So as I mentioned, he put the portfolio together about 13 years ago. Another person I mentioned is our president, Peter Cowley. And he's held top geological posts in multinational gold miners, such as Anglo-Gold Ashanti. And he's found over 30 million ounces in the type of geological terrain that we're operating within. And I suppose I'm just touching on myself a little further. I've mentioned I've kicked the tires on many projects in Africa and elsewhere in the world, while also getting involved in M&A and listing and equity raisings, etc. So I think as a team, for a small team and a small company, we have a heck of a lot of experience, which puts us in great status. We're developing and looking to choose the right decisions to release value for our shareholders going forward. Fantastic. Now, can you tell us a little bit about what investors have to look forward to for the rest of 2021 as we come to an end into 2022? And what some of the goals are that you guys have set for Longcore Gold for 2022? Yeah, I suppose a dominant factor is that scoping study in early December 2021. If it comes out with the sort of valuations that I like to think, then we really will be many multiples of our market cap. So that should be transformational. In many ways, it swamps the significance of many of the other wonderful initiatives in pure valuation terms. But looking at other things, we believe we can push the ounces at the high grade at Dumbi, both perhaps in the pit, where we have 3.2 million ounces, but also underground. We've drilled down to around 600 meters and we hope in the next six months, we're going to put all that data together and get more ounces. And we target in excess of five million, or sorry, towards five million ounces at a Dumbi and a couple of satellite deposits there. That puts us into tier one category. And when I say tier one, it's something Barrick throws out there, five million ounces plus. But remember the grade, the exceptional high grade that we're talking about versus our peer group there. So the economics should look really good as we drill out. But ounces is the other thing. And then also we've been drilling close to surface and we hope to put our resources into the next classification. We currently have inferred resources and we hope that half of those, over a million ounces, we've been put into indicated, which again just helps with the how people feel about your project. And then looking into 2022, we've got numerous outstanding targets. One in particular, Machuipala is high grade and a lot of visible gold. It already has 1.1 million ounces. It's even higher grades than Dumbi. You perhaps might put a few holes in there. And Samaria is close to a Dumbi we'd like to drill. So we have no shortage of targets, but we're focusing on Dumbi for the time being to release significant value. And then obviously these we can look at in 2022.  Yet you guys are still an 80 million market cap company. So a baby market cap with the potential to be a tier one gold miner. That is what we look for here on Rich to be live companies that are undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed that have explosive growth potential. So this is exciting for me, John. Now we love to understand the fundamentals of a company here. Can you go through the capital structure of Longcore Gold for our viewers and how you plan on attracting more institutional investment alongside more retail investors? Yeah, well I suppose top line, 133 million shares outstanding and key management including myself hold shares. I bought some a month or so ago when we got down below 70 cents. Major holder of 22% is our executive chairman, the Chairman Ani Kondrat. Then we have Resolute Gold out of Australia. They operate gold mines in West Africa. They hold 24% and then Newmont have been there since the early days of the company. They're holding 5%. So we've got some significant holders there. Primary listing is TSX on the OTC and Frankfurt as well. So those are the key elements there. Institutional and retail, it's a very interesting market. We've raised equity twice in the last nine months or so. We've been oversubscribed each time, but we've done it ourselves, sort of in-house with a few friends and family and old colleagues helping out. We really haven't been supported by brokers even though you can tell the stories are pretty straightforward one and very close to really coming to fruition. So I think we need to get brokers on board to help us with the institutional side. Ironically, a number of brokers have phoned me and said, what are you up to, John? Because I'm hearing from my institutional investors that you've got a good story. So slowly we're getting traction there and we're going to continue. Obviously, a headline saying we've got a project of X million dollars after the scoping study, that too will get attention. So I think we're going to really hit headlines which will get the institutional investors. Ideally, if it was me, I'd like to get in before the PA in scoping study, but sometimes maybe they're waiting for the scoping study, but I'm sure that'll bring in both institutional and retail. And then the other thing is I'm very active talking. I spoke at a conference the other day in Beijing and speaking in London coming up. I spoke with another one in the U.S. to a bunch of journalists a couple of days ago.  So I'm going to actively be doing and of course anything on your side, Rich, is much appreciated as well. It all really just what we need to get the story out there because I think it's a compelling story myself. Absolutely. We're going to do our best to tell your story. We love identifying early-stage companies that have an opportunity to explode and you guys seem to fit the bill perfectly. Now, if there was one thing you would want people to know about Long Core Goal today, what would that be? Well, I think you can probably guess it. It appears our inherent valuation at a DUMBY is huge versus our market cap of $80 million. That's what we want people to understand. And don't necessarily have to believe what I'm saying. We've got a 43-101 from a resource upgrade earlier in the year. There's some basic figures in there. You can use those and you can scribble down on a piece of paper, five or six lines and you'll get to the significant valuations. So the figures are out there. It's not just me putting them, just telling me a company line as it were, but of course the upcoming PEA in December 2021 will really confirm that inherent valuation. But as I said before, this is only the start of our discovery with many more answers to come. We should add to our valuation and obviously hope we could add to our whole momentum. What is the best way for investors to get in touch with the company if they have any questions? Yeah, I suppose there's two ways. Firstly, you can join our news flow by our website. That's just for the news flow so you can at least get some of the news coming out on our PEA and drill holes. We've got some drill holes coming up soon, which should be good. And that's one thing I would certainly recommend for some of your investors. And then you can contact us through various social media channels, the obvious routes that you're very aware of. And you can check our website for that conduit as well. Fantastic. I must remind everyone that Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes.

In saying that, I do believe this is a company that is grossly undervalued, underappreciated, underexposed. A small cap baby market cap junior gold miner with an 80 million market cap with the potential to be a tier one gold miner. I love it.
