Hello. So who are you? I am Ma from LinkFlow. LinkFlow makes these 360 degree cameras. So where do you put this? So under my neck. So you put it like this? Yes. And you have a camera in your back? And front too. Also in the front? Yes. Front too? There's two in the front and one in the back? Yes. Oh my God. And these things they put it tightly around you? Yes. Actually we have three sizes of neck guide. It comes with like small, medium and large. So you can choose your size. It depends on your neck size. That's cool. And then what happens is you get a 360 video? With our cameras you can take the videos like this. This is 360 all around the person? Yes. This is the shoulder? Yes, it is the shoulder. And the arms in there? Yes. Is it possible to cut out the shoulders? No. Actually we are thinking of, we are conscious about these things like that. So cut out like, we have some that very like logo jumps on like that. Or you can customize the group to put the race in the shoulder. There is this kind of bubbly, kind of flat, you know. I guess that's how it is 360 video. Yes. It's a panoramic view. That's what I think. 799 US dollars. Now it will be in Italy at the second quarter of this year. Where are you based? I'm based in Seoul, South Korea. South Korea? Yes. And what is, is it 4K? Yes, it supports 4K. So can you hold it here? Yes. So it's three full HD cameras? Uh huh. Provide 4K resolution? Uh huh. But to have 4K you need 4x 1080p, right? Yeah. And then, and you just connect this to smart phone only? Yes, smart phone but you can use it by itself as well. And then it will merge automatically? Yes. Merging inside? Yes, in device. Can you take it off? Yeah. So what is the controls around here? We have here the controls. There is a power button here. Yeah. For connecting to your device. And this is for recording as three shots. When you press shortly, it will take photo. And when you take longer, it will take a record in your video. Nice. How long is the battery? 90 minutes. 90 minutes? Yes. All right. And what does the company do before? Uh, actually we are starting. We spin up from Samsung Electronics 2 years ago. So this is our first model. Is it water proof? Yes, but IPX4. But we are trying to improve that. All right. Cool. And how is the sound quality? Sound quality. Actually we have two mics here. One here. Two mics? Yes. So it takes 360 audio? Yes. We hope so. Actually we deal with the world media. Good sound? Uh huh. Actually this is a prototype. Our mass production will be literally at the second quarter. All right. Cool. And this is information right here. Sharing 360. The FITS 360. Yes. And is it on crowdfunding or no? Yes. Actually we attracted 440,000 dollars last year on Kickstarter. Kickstarter. So it's already more than 500 people order? Actually we order about 10,000. 1000. 1000 orders. Yes. Cool.


What's up everyone? It's your girl Kanzi here from Layton Sports Cards and I'm ripping 2021 Panini Contenders Optic Football Hobby 20 box full box full case break number 10 tiered random teams. Again, here's a look at the random results. You can find these at LaytonSportsCards.com underneath the results tab. Link is also in chat for you. Let's see. Just check if there was anything behind me. I'm not sorry. Let's see. Let's see. It's been a minute since I've opened this. Kalil Mack Kyle Pitts rookie Falcons. We've got blue to 99 mile sanders and pink to 75. Gonna roll the dice here. One, two, three, top four, five, six bottom. This will go for the rest of the break unless it's an auto or a one of one. That is a five. Gonna go bottom five. So it will go bottom vikings. Again, that's to 75. First auto up. We've got rookie ticket auto vikings chess or rat. And second, we've got tall silver rookie ticket auto Jalen Darden. What is the case? Is it a lottery ticket? No, that's just a shorter print. I don't think there's technically a case hit in optic. Or maybe an RPI. Do you usually get one RPI for case? Is it one? It might be, yeah. What you get to eat, Nick? Seguin. We've got Rashad Bateman rookie Ravens. We've got red, Simifo Hoco, to 175 and blue to 99. Gonna go bottom with the Titans Racing McNam. Nice one here. Broncos rookie ticket. Patrick Sertain seconds. Nice PS2. And nice one for the Jets blue to 99. Michael Carter. This is on card to Jets. Hello there, camera. Nice. Oh, Chipotle sounds so good. So far, Nick. I'm so far. Actually, I don't even want to. I had that. I literally had Chipotle. That sounds good. And they're not delivering anymore. It's too late. Man, it's 10 o'clock already. Echler, Sam Ellinger rookie. We've got blue to 99 and a Schwartz, ouch, Browns and up and coming silver of Trey Lance for the Niners. Nice one there. Got to 30 on the green pulsar. Cameron McGrone, Patriots. And one of two, Nebula, rookie Anthony Schwartz. Browns. Joseph R. on the Nebula. That's sick. Here you go, Cleveland. Anthony Schwartz and Nebula. Caleb's favorite player there. Again, everyone, like I was saying earlier, Caleb's also doing a giveaway. Any group break spot purchased tonight will get you a spot in a giveaway. They're giving away three different products over there. So they'll do a random, they'll take everyone's names you buy into a break tonight, put in a randomizer and top three will win a free product over there. Tom Brady, I can't remember exactly which products because they're like, there's a Pokemon, there's a Magic the Gathering and there's one other product. I can't remember. Javonte Williams, rookie Broncos. We've got Silver, Demi and Harris and the highest one here to 75. Mack Jones, Injusted Fields. This is going to go bottom with the Patriots. We've got to 99 blue. Eric Stokes, rookie ticket. Packers. And to 30, Green Pulsar, rookie ticket of Alexander Leatherwood. Nice Leatherwood there. Was it flesh and blood ready? Awesome. All right. Cool. So a chance that went in some cool products over there just for buying into a break. Caleb's awesome with the big giveaways over there. I am, Mike. I know about Deontay Murray. I'm pretty pumped. Got Khalil Mack, rookie Amir Smith, Marsept, blue to one or blue to 99 Calvin Ridley. We've got winning ticket, Aaron Donald, Rams. I would just say they're short P, SP short P, SP end up, I wouldn't say they're SSP out of 50 legendary contenders auto of Marcus Colston Saints. And we've got a Geary Brightwell on the Silver Rookie tickets. Yep, to 99 on that one. Giant. So let's call them a bunch there. Yeah. I think it's a, oh yes sir. I think it's a win-win because I mean the way that the Hawks have drafted has been pretty terrible. Like I don't want another Cam Reddich on my team. I was a complete waste. Mayfield, Elijah Moore, rookie Jets. We've got red to 175, Cory Davis, blue winning tickets and 99 D-Hot for the Cardinals. That redemption. Almanra, Seinfraun, rookie Encard auto here, Lyons. And redemption. Good luck everybody. We've got Caleb Farley, rookie ticket, orange autograph. That is to 50 I believe and Titans hit there. Exactly. Yeah, no problem, inked up. Speaking of. Got George Kittle, Elijah Moore, rookie. Rookie tickets are red to 175 Pat Farmuth and lottery ticket Matt Stafford. There you go, inked up. We're just talking about that. Go Rams, Danny Y with the tier two team hitting on the short print. Got Texans, rookie ticket auto, Jalen Camp. That's next one's cool. Another tier two team hitting here. Brian G on the legendary contenders, Otto Jove-Thysman. That's sick. Mike, did you, were you here yesterday for my slight? I gave my Nick fans friends. Completely buried my buddy as a Nick fan in our first chat from school. They are Randy, I did not see that. Yeah, yeah, they're not exercising the option. Josh Allen, we've got Trace Sermon, rookie for the Niners. Cracked ice to 22, 22. Yep, 22, Tyreek Hill. Go Chiefs and up and coming Chase Young. That is to 25 on the Black Scope. Nice. Got Lyons, rookie ticket auto, Jamar, or, yep Jamar Jefferson, who's got him. Going to Sandor Kay, nine of ten, rookie of the year, Otto Trey Lance. There you go. Nice hit there. I like the black against the Niners colors that pops. I have to imagine the magic have a decent amount of money so maybe they make a run of Hayton. That would be nice. I would love to see that. Nothing against Lil' Bomba, he's okay, but like he's not reliable. Tyreek Hill, Davis Mills, rookie, we've got Red Alvin, Camara 175, Orange to 75, it's going to go bottom, Noah Gray with the Chiefs. Six of ten. Gold player of the year, Contenders, Derek Carr. I haven't seen this answer yet. Raiders, Sandor Kay. Wow, back to back boxes for big hits with Sandor. We'll mag that one. And Texans, rookie ticket on card, Nico Collins.  Well, he's not really. He's talking about not reliable. Yeah. I guess because they thought they got two big men from the draft that they can get rid of that one, but I think at 18 that would be. Oh, I love that. That'd be a good play. Derek Henry. Oh, for sure. Najee Harris, rookie Steelers. I think he'd fit in pretty well in Orlando. We've got Eli Mitchell, blue to 99 there. It's some like surface scuffs and issues on this card. Niners on that one. Sandor Kay, we'll send a box here with you, but if you want to take that up with Panini, as you can see, there's just like indents and stuff on that. X's and O's, Hollow, Ryan Tannenhill and Jeffrey Simmons. Redemption again. Got cracked ice, rookie ticket, Otto Kenneth Gainwell. Eagles. Nice cracked ice there to 22. Brian G on that one. Seven of 22. And redemption, I think so too, ain't that. We've got a Daffae away, rookie ticket, Otto's car number 158. Daffae away. Oh, you know. Oh, oh yeah. To the team who's going to get last in the AFC North this year. Ravens. Hit the brakes there, Eller. I mean, yeah, Bo, but I still think he's a better option than Hobamba. We need, we need something. We need a true big man. JT, rookie ticket, Sam Ellinger. Nice. Pink. I'll do this again. Don't start this with the color of rainbow. Green Pulsar to 30. Lambjack, Ravens. And pink MVP to 75. Joe Burrow. Nice. Got to 50. Orange rookie ticket, Otto of Luke Farrell. Jax. And Washington rookie ticket, Otto Dax Milne. Yeah, the free agent market kind of stinks for senators this year. It's a good point, Randy. No, I hope Cole stays in Orlando. My favorite player on the Magic. But knowing the Magic, they'll trade their good guards away. McCaffrey. Duane Eskridge. Seahawks. We've got Joe B on the orange to 50. That's kind of a cool off orange color match there. Bangles. That is 42 out of 50. And how about some gold up and coming? Davis Mills. I love gold. Michael S with the Texan. Six of 10 on the gold. Very nice. Mag that one. Got Lyons rookie ticket, Otto Levi on Muzerike. Kings, blue, rookie of the year, Kellan Mons. You go Vikings. This is 20 out of 30 on the Mons. All right, Mike. I'll try to tell you the story of how I buried my Nick's fan friend without interrupting Ken to do the best I possibly can. So it's gonna be, you'll hear bits and pieces of it at one time. Keenan Allen. Kenneth Gainwell, rookie Eagles. We've got red to 175. Elijah Moore Jets. Blue to 99.  Vikings. Keenan Longwood. To 25. Perennial Contenders. Going back to the Niners. Kyle Jusecek on the black scope. Perennial Contenders. Then we've got Redemption here. Good luck, everyone. A Justin Fields rookie ticket, RPS autograph teal. Boom. For the Bears. Robert P. Now I gotta look it up. Robert P on that one. Nice. Contenders optic. What is this? RPS. 99 or less. Nice. 99 or less on that one. We're doing personal after group breaks. Still plenty of spots left. A little less than halfway, I'd say. That's a little personal. Yeah, that's awesome. They're not Alex. All right, Aaron Jones, Jacob Harris, rookie Rams. Red to 175. Aaron Rogers and Orange Jaxes and O's to 50. Patty Mahomes, entire Red Matthew. It's a JB. Long time no see, man. We've got to 30. Orange rookie ticket auto, Nico Collins on card. Yeah, that's a 30. I was thinking it was gonna be the full sign. Now the Redemption. Good luck, everybody. We've got G.C. Orange rookie ticket auto that is Panthers hits on the horn. Just as they say that, Alex, huh? Yeah, there is Paul, huh? That's what I was just thinking, especially in this stack. What is that for? Third box in a row. Oh, yeah. Both autos here. Justin Jefferson in book rookie Saints. We've got blue to 99, AJ Brown and blue X's and O's, Tray Lance and Nick Bosa. Niners.

All right, that will do it for contenders optic. We've got a mixer coming right up.


Good, we're back. We're going to calculate position and velocity given the acceleration vectors. I said we're going to work in reverse Now at least for these parts next few parts in these lectures I'm not going to do explicit coding by that. I mean the lines of code that you can write that will do all of this for you I'm not going to make use of these Images here to explain the physics behind things definitely later We're going to do the SMPI dot physics dot mechanics library and you can see you can do most of these things With the lines of code so I'm going to use sparse amounts of amounts of code You can see there's some down here just to explain stuff But today I would never use this code to solve this this kind of problem, but let's go So imagine you're given this acceleration of vector Consider vector in three space The x of t would be 60 the y of t would be 12t plus 2 and the z of t would be e to the power t So that what that describes is An acceleration vector so at every point in time for different values of t An acceleration vector is going to change it'll change in magnitude and it'll change in direction We are also given the velocity as far as an initial velocity vector time equals zero We have this velocity vector pointing in the direction to zero one. We're also given an initial Position vector zero three five. So that's a time equals zero. We have that now We asked can you calculate a velocity vector which will be a vector in three space With so it'll have three sections as well each containing the variable t. Can you do that? Now we are using the SMPI dot physics dot vector The library here and it does have a dot div. Remember we could say vector dot DIFF and With respect to what variable and in what reference frame, but there's not a dot integrate function So we have to we have to do this at least if I use this type of code the long way around so What I've done is I've introduced these three t Computer variables a underscore x a underscore y and a underscore z and you can see there As six times t which is the 6t up there the 12 times t plus 2 up there and the e to the power t up there So I've introduced that and now I can use The integrate function now. This is part of SMPI not part of the SMPI physics dot vector Library as part of the normal SMPI vector library, so I'm I could just use it because I in I imported from SMPI import integrate right at the top at the beginning of this lecture for So again, I'm making these three. I'm making these three computer variables velocity x velocity y and velocity z You could call them whatever you want and all I have to say is integrate and then the expression I want to integrate a underscore x is six times t comma what I want to integrate with respect to The same for y and the same for z now This is going to give you an indefinite integral without the constant coefficient You have to just put in that constant coefficient yourself Beware though here. We are dealing with a vectors. It's not going to be a constant coefficient For an indefinite integral. It's going to be a constant vector c is now going to be a vector not just a very not just a Constant of integration. So let's go So I now have vx vy in vz And if I just print that to the screen and you know the the the indefinite integral of 6t would be 3t squared and there you go So if I just this vx I'm just printing it to the screen the indefinite integral of 12 times t plus 2 is going to be 6t squared plus 2t and The indefinite integral of of e to the power t would just be e to the power t So just to bring the point home. I'm just going to I just show you here The an image of what it now looks like we have the v of t and for vx vy and vz There it is 3t squared 60 squared plus 2t and e to the power t plus c with a line under it That is now a constant vector and I have to figure out what that constant vector is and We do it in the following way remember We were given the initial velocity vector V at zero so if I take this v of t and I plug in zero for every t Which is what I've done here three times zero squared six times zero squared plus two times zero and e to the power zero plus this constant coefficient should equal This initial velocity vector that I was given to zero one remember up there We were given the initial velocity to zero one and there we have to zero one Remember, this is a constant vector C. So it has three components in The in the x y and z direction or otherwise the i j and k direction, whichever whichever way you want to call it Well, let's do this three times zero squared is to zero Six times zero squared plus two times zero is zero e to the power zero is one So I can simplify this bit as zero zero one Plus that should give me two zero one now. Remember how to do vector addition. We just sum the Individual components that will be a zero plus this C in the i direction Zero plus C in the j direction and one plus C in the k direction So I'm just simplifying this addition here. So that should give me two zero one. So we have that C sub C in the i direction is going to equal to C in the j direction equals zero and C in the k direction plus one equals one in other words If I take that negative one to the other side C in the k direction is zero So now I have solved C i C j C k is two zero zero that is two zero zero That is my constant vector. So Finally, I can get my velocity vector. It's going to be three t squared plus two So it's that three t squared plus two the six t squared plus two t plus zero and e to the power t plus zero So there I have solved because I was given the initial Conditions initial vector at v at time equals zero. I can solve for this Constant vector. So if you do integration of a vector you sit and it's an indefinite integral as we head up here Then most definitely that is going to be C with a line under it. It is a vector and you have to Write it in its component form there to solve this problem and the very same thing I haven't done it here will go for the position vector. You're going to do it in exactly the same. So given an initial Acceleration vector I can integrate it to get the velocity vector, which I can integrate again to get the position vector Just remember that you have the constant vector of integration there when you do integrate vectors


Hi everyone, welcome. So happy to see you all together here. Let me open our presentation. And we will start actually with a video. Yes, I'm familiar with that and with some Wikipedia related projects. Our first experience was with the actual creation of open educational resources for a program on tourism and hospitality. Yes, I have heard of it. I heard about it when I started working at the Writing Centre here at the University. Yes, I have heard of Open Education when I started working at the Academic Retrocese Writing Centre at Nelson Mandela University. Well actually I think the key word is interaction because with group works and also group work during the reviewing process, students can increase their awareness of their own skills. I would like it to be easily available to everyone, especially within the university context. Open education aims to improve access to education. If people in South Africa had access to education and to learning materials, it would create such a reality where education is accessed by everyone and anyone who wants it. And also we'll be more able to create our own content and add to the knowledge base instead of thinking that only one day we will graduate to have professional career, what we'll be able to do that. Open educational resources is a really, really spectacular thing. It gives teachers the flexibility of actually creating content which is fully furnished for themselves, if you will. I love you guys. You guys have a blast in the conference.  I love you with all my heart because you guys are actually helping us, helping people like me. Bye. Good night. So we've been blessed to have a good number of students who wanted to share with us their ideas about Open Education and we are here with the same aim today. I'm so happy you can't imagine how happy I am to have students on the stage together with me and thank you in advance for the great job we did together and for this keynote together. So we wanted to start this conference with students on the stage because they are our main focus, I think. All of us share this as the main focus. Is it too close maybe? I'm not used to microphones. And let's start with who we are. I am Paula Corti. I work at METID, which is the Learning Innovation Unit here at Qualitecnico di Milano. And I am the co-chair of this conference. Hi everyone. I'm Trudy Radke. I work as an Open Educational Resource Specialist at College of the Canyons as an OER consultant and advocate to California State Universities and I'm currently pursuing a Master's in History at Cal State University Northridge. I'm Julia Bojale. I'm a computer engineering student here at Politecnico. And I'm also a member and currently vice president of Pohl, which is a Politecnico Open Unix Labs. And I'm Robert Krettenberg. I study comparative literature at the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. And there with other students, I initiated the Hermione project in which students become teachers and teach their fellow students. So as you can easily imagine, we are here providing different perspectives on open education. And of course, we will start from their experiences in open education. And we are going to go through some of the challenges they have been encountering and they are encountering nowadays actually. And is it not working? We can manage it from here. It's not quite working. Let's go through this by hand. Don't worry. And what we are going to share then is the kind of university support they already received and which our university are providing now. And in the end we are coming to their vision about open education and the vision that we are willing to share with you. And actually we are going to involve you in that because you've been given a small paper note and we are willing to ask you if you want to write down during the keynote which is your vision about the future of open education. And in the end of the keynote we would like to collect them. So feel free to write it, change it, correct it as far as you want. And then please share it with us in the end, okay? What else? Let's start I would say. Let's start with the experiences. Which are your experiences in open education? Well, for me, first of all, I'm a member of Paul, as I said. We are a student club here in Polytechnica and our main focus is on free software. And I mean free as in freedom, not as in free beer. Free software in order to qualify as that needs to grant its user four main liberties which are the freedom to use the software as they want to study how the software works to modify it to suit their own needs and to share it with whoever they want. We organize courses about free software and open technologies. Our courses are open to everyone. They're mainly meant for students, other students of Polytechnica. But we also have some older people from outside of Polytechnica who come to follow our lessons or who follow our YouTube channel. In fact, we try to share all of the material we produce. All of the slides are licensed with a CC license and they're on our website. And we also record videos of our lessons and they're on YouTube. Which is not an open platform, but it's the most used one, fortunately. On a more personal note, I'm also a student and throughout my university career, I've always used the material shared by other people who are either students or professors. And that material was so far and of such good quality that I never really needed to buy a book. One thing I noticed is that not much of that material had a license and I'm afraid it might be because people are not even aware of the existence of licenses. My first experience in open actually occurred in my first year as an undergraduate. I went to purchase my university textbooks and it came out to about $700, which is around 630 Euro, I believe. I was the first in my immediate family to attend college and I came from a lower socioeconomic background. So that was an incredibly large burden for my family that we had not been expecting. I also needed new glasses because my prescription was up. So I had to pick between textbooks and glasses and I chose glasses because that seemed like the more immediate need. I had nothing really to supplement my learning outside of the classroom, so I would just go online and look for things and I didn't know it at the time, but the only stuff that I was actually able to download for free, because I was able to find a few things, was OER resources. And I didn't know that that's what they were, but now, fast forward, that was my first experience. And now I have the privilege of being an OER and ZTC specialist at College of the Kenyans. I'm the creation of about 80 open textbooks all under CC by license. I've also am a co-lead for the OER Student Advocacy Group, a group in California that tries to advocate for open on California campuses. And I also work as a private consultant to help other universities make their own open textbooks in California and open textbook pathways. When I hear you talk about this experience of having to buy books on this scale, I'm just so happy to live in Germany and have the benefits of the very free German education system in comparison. But I think it's also just a really great example of how from a need, you can come up with a great idea and an urge to want to change something. Our projects, of course, are not so much related to sharing materials and textbooks and also have nothing to do really with free software. But there was a need nonetheless and I can share a little story like yours. So this goes back to, I was living with one of the girls I started the project with at the time living together and we often had this conversation that when, you know, we've just written a paper and we thought it was really good and so we're quite happy about what we did there and we felt it was valuable. But we didn't know how to share it with anybody. It was just the professor who had to correct it and maybe like a friend who read it to check it for errors. And those are the only people who ever got to see this and we thought like there's something that we want to change about this and we want to make student research more visible. And so this was the need that we discovered and what we wanted to do with our project. And what we do is basically we give students, I'm from the literature department so it's students from a number of philological subjects that get to present their research. So it's preselected, it's really good stuff like good bachelor's thesis and so on or master's thesis or also like smaller projects that have like outstanding research quality and they get to present it to other students. So in this way we make their work more transparent. And what we also do is we don't stop with the finished product because in a way we think very often education is also not open or not transparent in a way that when teachers present their work they only present the finished product but you never get to find out like how did you even get there. And so what we do is all our students that teach in this class they get to actually first work on reflecting themselves on how did they even get there again and then they also present this to the other students so they serve as role models and encourage these other students to maybe follow in their footsteps and learn from their experiences. And of course because we've done this project now three times there's also another level at which sharing comes in and this is educational practices. So we started this as students we had no idea about what we were doing at the beginning but now of course we've learned from our own experiences and we're trying to develop this course further and further and so we started sharing at this level also. When it comes to the open educational resources I think it would be just a great like puzzle to add in there as well. But I mean you mentioned that the challenge is one challenge that we found especially as students trying to find our way in this is that you need to know quite a lot of things or at least it feels that way to get started with sharing stuff online and we didn't feel prepared to do this at the beginning so we want to do this in the future but so far it's been like a little bit of a challenge for us to incorporate this in our concept. Well let's talk about the challenges in sharing then. In my experience the main challenge I've encountered is that people don't provide a source code which could be for example I've found some really good notes but only the PDF version and if there was a mistake or I wanted to correct or something that I wanted to improve I wasn't able to do that. I think in order to be really open you need to not only provide the editable version of your work but also all of the tools that another person is going to need to improve and continue working on that. Another issue I believe is that without a proper CC license it's impossible to give credit to each of the others who contributed to the work and since we are sharing our material for free this credit is kind of the only form of payment that we get so I think we need to use a CC license for that. Another issue when I was looking for material to study for my exams for example that I found was that material is extremely sparse and it's published on very many different platforms which makes it a lot harder to find. One thing that I think would have to solve this problem is to have a centralized platform maybe sponsored by a university like each university could have their own website where students and professors can share their material and they are of course strongly encouraged to use an open license. What about you Robert, did you encounter any other challenges? Yeah first of all I think those are so important points that you mentioned like having an accessible platform would just be fantastic and I think that's maybe one other challenge or like one reason why we found it so challenging in our situation to use this more and that was that we didn't design our project in a way with this in mind and when you want to do it retrospectively it's so much harder because also in our case it's not just one teacher it's this group of students so we'd have to run after everybody and get their consent and also just rearranging the material afterwards like in a way that it's openly shareable it's just really hard so I think one take away from this is that you really need to make sure that you design it for sharing from the beginning and that's one thing that we want to do in the future and this is I think something that also applies to whichever other person you want to encourage to participate in this movement you've got to reach them at a point where they can still design whatever they have planned in this way. Well yes I agree instilling an open culture at the beginning of a work would save us a lot of time after the work is done but Paula you and I are both at home here for the technical what is it we do here to help solve these challenges? Well actually here I talk about what the work we do in MATED which is a bottom-up work of course what we do around licenses first of all is try to support teaching staff in order to have the basic skills they need and to work in advance so if they start thinking about licenses before they start their work then they will be able to share what they produce accordingly otherwise it's quite difficult to go back and catch up with the work already done and all the permission required. Sometimes it works actually one of our last experiences since we produce MOOCs and our MOOCs are really open MOOCs so CC licensed MOOCs one of the last MOOCs we published is about the relationship between higher education and sustainable development goals and actually we started with a more restricted license but then we came up discovering that most of the professors involved and there are more than 30 professors involved chose by themselves the CC by license then we contacted each one of the others and asked them for their permission to change their license and they all agreed so we have our first CC by completely CC by MOOC now online so MOOCs are one of the other activities that we try to do together with professors because mainly we work with them and sometimes we succeed in adding also some of the work done by students for example in this MOOC we have also a video completely designed by students which is nice for us and other things that we try to do together with the teaching staff during workshops we have specific lessons for them in which we work together around licensing and they work actually in order to choose their license understand what does it mean to remix different OERs together and what we encourage them to do and sometimes this is already happening is of course to reuse other professors materials and it works pretty well when we succeed in doing this other things that we try to do at present time in order to support professors in their day by day work is to encourage them to open up their practices not only with open educational resources but also sharing their practices in themselves so the design of their lessons so also the process Robert not only the final result and sometimes it works it's a step by step activity the last thing that we try to do I'm very happy about it is the translation of the Creative Commons certificate for educators and librarians in Italian because language sometimes is still a barrier and we don't want that so having the Italian version could support many of our professors at national level to get in touch more closely to the licensing system which is not so easy for everyone even if the materials are very simple, very user friendly sometimes people are frightened by facing legal issues and even if we are not a legal team at all we can try to support them at first so that's what we are trying to do what we want to do in the future since we are reaching that point is to have a larger involvement by students because professors have a limited amount of time so we certainly understand when they have problems in knowing better how to deal with licenses it's perfectly understandable but if the network becomes larger and larger and why not to involve students in this network the work with licenses which is very time consuming at first could be managed with many people on board and I really believe that students could give a great deal of effort in this and they could be really the game changer so that's why I'm willing to go ahead with this it's really encouraging to hear all of the work as I've been here that's going on at Polytechnico to bring students into the open creation process that's something we try to do a lot at College of the Canyons where I work with OER we actually recently hired two graphic design students from College of the Canyons to help us design kind of an OER textbook we call it style guide but it could also be considered kind of a workflow a how to create an OER text from scratch basically if you were someone who wanted to get into open content creation but perhaps you didn't know where to start we had two graphic designers just help us create an entire branding initiative for our campus for OER help us market OER created banners, merchandise and it was amazing because they I mean the work that they produced is gorgeous and they agreed to put it all in a CC by license and then they agreed to compile it all into a document that we're going to share on our website soon and it's a packet so it's not just information on how to create content or a textbook it's all of the materials you would literally need to do it like textbook graphics they've made them, they've put them in that packet all of the banners, everything, all their designs and it was they were so excited about it they were so excited, they wanted to do it it was quite brilliant and a privilege to work with them we also are currently working with a student who is blind her name is Lauren Roem and she's helping us create an accessibility guide for textbooks it's very important to us at College of the Canyons that the visually impaired have access to our books in a way that is equitable and real and we have someone helping us create an accessibility guide and we have the person who should be helping us create it and that's been really impactful for me and our whole team and these are students and they're excited and they're willing to do it and they're willing to bring into the process bring students into the process so we have a geometry professor who's actually assigning questions for credit homework questions and then his students are literally writing the homework section of his textbook and they're vetting the problems and they're doing all the math work and they're showing the work and we're just going to lift that and put that right in the textbook we also have a geography professor who takes his students on field trips every year and we have a textbook so these students what we're trying to do is we're trying to create incentive and buy in we feel that if they see themselves reflected in the materials they're using they will care about the materials they're using and we think that that's really powerful we're also working on another small change that I've noticed that's just been really impactful is we're actually going into our textbooks and we're changing some of the names of the content and the reason I think that's so powerful is because it's a very simple thing to do but it's actually only something you can do with Open you can't call a publisher, email a publisher and say, you know these names they don't really reflect my students can we change this work problem to use names that reflect my students but with Open you can make that change and it only takes a couple of seconds really but it's so impactful there's a famous American educator Marina Alderman so when we bring our students into the creation process when we bring our names into the textbooks there's incentive and there's buy in and there's care and I think it's really been powerful it's been powerful for me to watch that happen I honestly just feel like a part of the process and last but not least like I mentioned earlier I'm working with a group of advocates from California to create a OER toolkit that will be used by other campuses hopefully to brand and spread OER awareness on their campus we're going to publish that sometime in late December and last but not least I and my two OER colleagues at College of the Caneons who design these materials we are currently graduate students and we're starting to realize as we work that we will be students for the rest of our lives and that's kind of the mindset we hope to bring to Open Education Thank you Trudy we are going to if all of us are going to be students for the rest of our lives now it's maybe the time to go forward and move to the vision for the future and what about you Robert what is your vision on that? Well I think after that very inspiring stuff by you Trudy maybe it's a bit tough act to follow there but I mean when I think about the kind of stuff that we shared and we talked a lot about this together I think there's some common denominators of course it's about access about transparency but we were all students to me it's a lot about empowerment really and we've had this before like actually this morning we heard about like how the relationship between education or the university and society is complex and I think in this day and age we need more than ever we need active citizens and if we want active citizens we need to have active students in our education system and so what I take from working with you and thinking about this really is an encouragement that there is an open future possible in which everybody can contribute and everybody has a place to shape this and not just the education but then society at large so maybe we can think about some practical roles that students could cover something like being co-creators of contents which means working on homeworks to support professors in designing texts supporting them in preparing share their already done exercises with others through licenses so that they could be reused for different activities instead of getting lost in time and wasted in a way or also we can think about students as a licensed tutor let's say because you are all smart and if you get to know licenses you are the best advocate possible to work with the professors and teaching staff in order to support them understanding them better and also keeping it simple it's not such a big deal to work with licenses you can do it and it could be good coming from students also or also students could be good peer teachers as you already are doing extending this practice as up to you as a chance because you encounter such some Hermione project or you are lucky because you have friends who already work with licenses you know it could be really worth it because students could really give a great contribution to the building of this big network some of the projects already I mean this conference is full of projects that are already talking about the role of students and some of you are already thinking about what we could do also in the future but it's something that could be really improved I think you are absolutely right and it's important to not just have like the dream the vision the grand thing which is also important I think we need that but at the same time to think of what are the concrete steps and then the simple steps that you can take because like from my own experience you need to find a way into something and it always helps that the initial threshold is not too high it's not too hard to become involved so as you say there are so many simple steps where students can start to become involved if they are being trusted to do so and then of course they can build on that and become more and more involved in the ideal world this is of course like an open spectrum so that at the end you can design entire curricula and everything together with the faculty and become really empowered this way so I think the small steps is really the one important thing and the other important thing I think is the role models and when you have this fantastic quote about you can't be what you can't see this is one of the reasons why we think our project is working so well and it shows in the evaluation that we have is because the students see another student appear being this teacher and being able to do this stuff they become inspired themselves and we've just had like an application for the next year where somebody actually wrote this so I was at the first thing you did and I was at the second thing and now I feel ready to do it myself so it's working and I think this goes for all kinds of student involvement if you see somebody who's a peer and you feel empowered to do it yourself maybe so maybe before we go we leave some time for the questions we can share with you why we chose these kind of images for our keynote actually there's a reason we as you can see there is a painter here and he's preparing a wall all the pictures we shared with you today through this presentation are done by this painter this artist whose name is Afran actually he works very close to here because he works in Lekko 50 kilometers north from Milan and we came up with these images by chance searching from Pixabay and actually you will find the explanation in the presentation later on but what we did was to choose a mural first because we wanted to have something coming up in the open and the wall in this way is seen just as a support not as a boundary so that's the meaning we wanted to have in our presentation and that's why we chose those images and Afran we contacted him actually because we had the chance to get in touch with him he was very proud of being with us on the stage but also even if he's a artist he wanted to know everything about open culture he wanted to join us in the future in order to produce a piece of art to be shared in the open so the world is spreading I mean we just have to continue working and advocating I think okay well I'd like to add a word about how we worked to prepare this keynote first of all there were no bosses even though it's officially Paola's keynote and she wanted to join us here and give us a chance to be here then we tried to always use open source software for our work I insisted on that but they all agreed we used an open source software to do our conference calls we ended up using Google Docs for our notes we had to because it just worked so well but what I'm really grateful for what we did is we even though we are four people with completely different backgrounds from opposite sides of the world we truly had to wake up very early to participate in our calls but we managed to get together and to put our thoughts and ideas together to share something with you and I hope we managed to really communicate our love for open in general and just really briefly to go off of what Julia said I feel extremely empowered and privileged to be on the stage with these people I've gotten to know them over the past a couple of months and it really reminds me that there's people literally I mean this isn't called OE Global for Nothing there's really people all over the world that are doing this and this is a tangible reminder for me and that's really the goal that we have in doing this environment practiced on a daily level that is going to lead to greater open advocacy policies and acceptance so thank you very much for being here and taking the time and sharing your time with us the one thing that I would maybe add is that of course it takes more time if you work on this like with four people and not just everybody says that little thing but you try to communicate it took more time but it was worth all the time it took because I think first of all we got to know each other in the process and then I think it just turns into a whole different kind of thing and a different kind of message that we can communicate hopefully to you today now we have to ask one last thing of you remember the papers that you were given at the beginning we asked to write your visions of the future on them as open to sharing as we hope you are we ask you to give them back to us as you leave the room and they will be put on a poster upstairs for everyone to see and maybe draw inspiration from just one last thing at the beginning we skipped this part there is a quotation here from Offer as you can see is 1973 so it's nothing really new actually you know but the thing is that if we want to be learners and we don't want to consider ourselves learned we have to give away something in a way you know which means in order to make room for something new in a way we have to unlearn something and relearn from scratch and to do this properly I strongly believe that the contribution from students could be really worth it and really powerful so thank you all for your time and if there is any question we have five minutes maybe so we can manage with some of them is there any question okay I can give you the microphone yeah thank you so much that was great to listen to your practices and experiences great choice glasses are more important than text book also good to know that now there is a very first book available if you have one wish from your university what would it be is this being recorded hopefully no seriously I would say trust the students is the key thing for me because it will pay off this probably applies to my university just as much as to most other higher education institutions that there is a lot of room still for more trust to be put into students and giving them more of a say over there over what they want to learn why they want to learn it and how they want to learn it and maybe even how they want to teach their peers as in our case we encourage sharing because it benefits everyone I've had professors who copyright their exams and you can't share them and I think that makes the sense I completely understand being proud of one's work but I think that sharing it with other people and it's giving it another use and augmenting the value of your work I would just have to agree with Robert just trust the students it's shocked me the talented talented people that are in every nook and cranny of our school at college of the canyons it blows me away every time I talk to a student not only are they interested in the idea of open there's something about it it's altruistic it makes them feel like they're part of something bigger and they are and we all are and they're just brilliant yeah trust the students I guess I'm facilitating this here I wasn't told that I have to here we are thank you for this, where's Igor okay so any more questions interesting what came up here about trust and I think the important factor is to trust students I'm coming yes what about staff okay please introduce yourself thank you Matilde Fontanin University like somebody said last night I'm on both sides something since I'm a librarian forgive me about it but something you said about sharing makes me feel since I worked inside university for many years what I feel is I don't know how you feel about it there's a kind of problem in communication maybe so there are a lot of resources already working on certain topics and they don't get together so to make an example Julia was speaking earlier about sharing resources, creating a platform and I know this is even open access publications are open repositories and you have to go and look into every single open repository so why don't we just make an effort and involve large databases already so archive worked okay it changed the word if we have open access we owe it somehow to the stubbornness of somebody who created a globally shared resource so why don't we just skip on the train of large catalogs which are already there and showcases for everyone to see well I completely agree with you I think the problem is not just the people don't share but those who do do not advertise enough the work they've done and so you end up having to look for material and different platforms and wasting a lot of time I generally think that the only one who can do that is the university because it's big enough to get everyone together and share the work that everyone is doing inside and outside the university I maybe like add one thing about sharing and maybe more generally also about like open technology and so on I think there's a massive opportunity if like open databases or open software tools or whatever if they are designed in a user friendly way because we live in a time where convenience is everything and especially for students especially students when they have like a lot of a workload to do and maybe they're not yet at the level where they can like see how they can become involved themselves and they're just trying to get by and pass their exams and so on and they're just trying to take part in these kind of or use these tools we have to make them as user friendly as possible and this has a lot to do with design and I think there's a massive opportunity to make open tools much more user friendly so if there are no more questions I think that our time is finished so thank you everyone and thank you first of all for your effort and for your time and for the next 10 sessions okay thank you the conference committee has asked me badges so if you need any help find any of us and we'll all send you to Igor like we agreed thank you


Hey guys, Thundie here and welcome to my back to school video. This one is a bit gaming oriented and also giving you stuff that you can pick up that won't cost you a lot of money. Now I've got some help from a few of my YouTube buddies, they're going to help me out in picking a few things that actually fit of course to hold back to school monkeying. Now if you're watching this for the first time, go ahead and smash that subscribe button notification bell so you can watch more videos from the channel. So let's start off with the very first arena that I think most people care about, smartphones. You're looking for something that is cost effective, that does a pretty good job. I've got three smartphones for you and the first one is the Samsung Galaxy A50. Retails for $250. This is the cheapest Galaxy device you can get that works really well. It's quite impressed with its functionality but especially when you're gaming it's got an Exynos processor and the 9610 and that handles PUBG really well on high settings and you've got a 4000mAh battery, a headphone jack, it's running one UI, it's got a decent triple camera setup at the back and you've got a nice looking display at 6.3 inches. It is a lovely device to pick up especially the price point at $250, $260 you can't go wrong with that at all. Now my very next smartphone is the Galaxy A70. The A70 is a little bit pricier, it's about $350 which is still really good. It's powered by the Snapdragon 675 processor, comes with a massive 5000mAh battery so this thing will last you the whole day. It's great for that, it's also really solid in gaming playing PUBG as well on this high settings you're going to get some really good performance all the way through. The camera gives you some nice photos, not so much on low light but that's not what you get at this price point, headphone jack, USB type-C charging for both the Galaxy A50 and the A70 so you've got that there and I think this is something a lot of people would definitely like. Now our third device is the Pixel 3a. Now the Pixel 3a is known to be one especially in terms of camera quality, it's really really good in rivals, high end devices because you've got that Pixel camera software. It's a solid device, running stock Android and I think it's really nice, it runs the Snapdragon 670, it does have 4GB of RAM so it's not really a gaming powerhouse, you can do some gaming on the Pixel 3a and I think it will handle it well enough but you're looking for a camera, this is the smartphone you're definitely going to pay. If you look for more gaming performance, the A70 and the A50 do a much better job especially at this price point under 400 bucks with the Pixel 3a coming around like $380 or $90 or so so that's where I see them. Now in terms of just a carrier to use, I usually go with T-Mobile just because I've been a T-Mobile customer for years and if you're looking for something that will work with those devices, these three devices will work on the T-Mobile and it's something to take a look at. The pricing is great, family plans if you're looking for one and it's also pretty good. This is not a plug for T-Mobile, it's just what I would select. If you're looking for a plan for your kids or yourself back to school that is probably what will work best for you. So there are a few more things to check out and at this point I'm going to pass it over to Matthew Moniz to let you know about laptops you can pick up for back to school. So he asked me to give some of my favorite picks for back to school gaming. The budget pick definitely goes to the Acer Nitro 5. This is the laptop you buy if you're on a budget under 700 bucks, i5-9300H with the GTX 1650, more than enough power to play most games comfortably between medium and high settings. It's not the most attractive laptop but it will game comfortably. The panel could be a little bit more color accurate and if you want something a little bit better you can look at the Acer Nitro 7 instead. Now if you have a little bit more money to spend, my suggestion is the sweet spot. My suggestion is to go with the Acer Predator Helios 300. Sometimes you can find this laptop for under a thousand dollars and you're getting a 9750H processor with the GTX 1660 Ti. This is more than capable of playing any game that's currently on the market and the best part is you get a high refresh panel at 144 Hertz. It's color accurate, you have Thunderbolt 3 and all the ports you need to hook up all your favorite peripherals. Now, if you have some more spiny money and you want to buy something a little bit better, my suggestion is to look at the Razer Blade 15 or the Gigabyte OLED. Go for the Blade 15 if you're strictly just gaming and you want good looks. Like this is more than adequate to game comfortably on high settings. You can get this in 4K, you can get this with 240 Hertz. My suggestion is just to get the one with 144. But if you're a content creator first, I recommend gravitating towards the Gigabyte instead. The Aero 15 just has a very good balance between performance and heat management. On top of that you also get an SD card slot which is something you don't get on the Blade 15. Plus it just has a lot more IO to choose from than the Razer variant. So Blade 15 for specifically just gaming, Aero 15 if you're doing creative work first, gaming second. Anyways, that wraps up my back to school gaming picks. Thank you E for having me on. Alright guys, so my name is Gameski and first off I want to thank Thunder E for asking me to do this. He asked if for his back to school video I would come on and share two pair of truly wireless earbuds that I would recommend for back to school. So the two I'm going to recommend are going to be under $100 and the first one is the one more stylish true wireless. It's honestly one of my personal favorites. It comes in at $99 and some of the features that it has like Bluetooth 5.0 and it plays high-res audio like AptX and AAC. The battery you're going to get about six hours and then with the case you're going to get around 24 total. The case is really small so it's easy to throw in a backpack or even throw in your pocket. It also has quick charge so if you pick them up and they're dead charging for 15 minutes you're going to get about three hours of use. And the way that they're tuned is very dynamic like the bass you're going to feel but the treble is also extremely clean. It's just an overall amazing pair of truly wireless earbuds that under $100 is really hard to be. And so the next pair I'm going to recommend actually I just reviewed and it's the Trandia T3. They come in at $50 and these are more geared towards people that love bass and I like bass but I don't like bass to affect everything else. And this is one of the most booming bass truly wireless earbuds that I've tried but also while keeping the highs in the mids very dynamic as well. So nothing gets lost and it's just a very fun sounding truly wireless earbud to use. It also has Bluetooth 5.0. It is IPX5 water resistant. It has six to eight hours of battery life but if you're like me and like to listen to things turned up you're going to get about six hours. The case though is going to give you around 60 hours total. And again I'm not sure how they were able to do this for $50. I mean especially when companies are charging $160 to $200 for earbuds like this but anyway thank you so much to Thunder E for having me and enjoy the rest of the video. Thank you Matthew. Thank you GameSki. Definitely a huge help in picking the right laptops and of course wireless earbuds because that's the biggest thing now in the market to pick for the backs of school peer but now you're also looking for chargers to charge your devices and we know a lot of the chargers that come in in the boxes are not up to snuff. I've got a array of chargers here from Anker that are really really cool. They are 30 watts 60 watt PD chargers. They've even got one that's really small and flat. I love it. This design it's slig it's very portable. All of them are really portable and they can charge your smartphones or your laptops or your iPad if you have one. Those kind of things it covers the whole range in charging and I think they are really well priced with a maximum price I believe about you know $45 or 50 bucks or so for the 60 watt. So that makes a lot of sense in terms of charging. Now if you're looking for a portable speaker the one that I would totally suggest you pick up is the UE Boom, Wonder Boom 2. Wonder Boom 2 is a great portable speaker. You can pair it up with two Wonder Boom speakers if you want to give you some really loud sound small package and design. I think a lot of people will like you can put it in your backpack you can of course hang it on your bike wherever you take it with you and it's easy to go you don't need an app you can just pair with your smartphone where you're good to go it is loud it is really really loud.

Like one day we just got into the studio, hopping in, just this sign.   Then another track after that, after that shit, which came out fire, I'm like, all right, back. OK, but you was dancing at first and then you can't have really into the music. Yeah. So what made you switch and brands? Well, like I said, my men's was freestyling around me. So like they really got me into the music, for me. Like I wasn't with it. Like at first I was like, no, I'm not gonna do it for me.   So I ain't stop dancing, I just pursue more into the music, you feel me? Like all that gonna follow up. OK, so who was he listening to growing up? I was a fab, growing up. Who else I was listening to growing up? Definitely fab. I was listening to a lot of artists, like growing up. My food. But like, fab, Lil Durk, Herbo. I could say Dubnaw that I was listening to. We gonna get into now. So before like, yeah, yeah, Durk, Herbo, fab. Yeah, those are really my top three for me. Really fab, like. OK, OK. So out of the songs you have out now, what's the favorite song you created? Like what's your favorite song? My song, No Hope, part one. So the first part was your favorite one. And why was that your favorite? Because I feel like that's where like, I just had that energy for me. Like I just, like when I came on that track, I came different than I came on any other track. Like the ad-libs, everything was just like, was just dead. It just made it more powerful for me. It's like, I was like, when I heard it, everybody's coming to me like, yeah, this is it. Like. OK, so how would you describe your sound, though? I'd say it's different. Like how different, like, explain? Like for me, like the way I flow for me, like my verse, my, like how I'm versatile for me, very versatile. A lot of people don't like that for me. So like that's why I say I'm different with it. OK. All right, so from the first one you ever made to now, how do you feel like you improve musically? I put a lot. Like how and what? Like my flow, my flowing way better for me, my energy way better, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, that was really my only problems with it. So what's like your end goal? Or what's something on your bucket list? What's something you've got to accomplish in music? Start my own label for me. That's something I've got to get accomplished before I get about it. What else put my team on for me is A, and make sure like me and all my guys are situated, my parents, family, my family, everybody's situated.  So like, OK, like family's personal. So like, so what would you say is your process like in the studio? Like what you mean? Like you need your friends around. You got to have certain type of beats. You got to go to a certain studio. Like, how are you getting your zone? I need certain type of beats for me. I need certain type of beats. And that's, it all depends on my mood for me. So like, if I'm in one of them little down moves, like I'll cook up by myself. I'll go to the studio by myself. I don't want nobody around for me, certain songs. I just, it comes out the way it did because I was by myself. I feel like if I was with people that day, it would never came out the way it was. So what inspired you to sing toxic? Because that's different from no hook, I feel. So what made you like want to tap into that sound or made you try that? When I heard toxic, when I heard the beat for me or Fripp, like I was going through sound at that time for me. So I was just walking and I was just writing, writing, I ain't writing no beat. Just wrote, wrote. Heard the beat. I'm like, let's go, perfect on it. Went to the studio by myself for me. Remember that I was a by yourself. Yeah, I went in there, did that with it. I was like, yeah, it should fire. All right. A lot of artists say that they freestyle. Do you think artists really be freestyling or do you think people really be writing? Um, I think some, some, some artists, not all artists, some artists be cat, you know what I'm saying?  Like you could definitely tell. So, um, so growing up in New York, how do you stay like away from that? Or how do you separate yourself from the drama of New York City? I just, I just play my role for me. Like as long as nobody coming at me for me or my, my, my personal niggas for me, like it's, it's all good for me.  Like that's not my mindset. My mindset is on this brand, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, um, so what's, so a lot of your fans support us from dancing to music? Do you feel like it was hard trying to transition everybody or was everybody super supportive, like, in your journey? It was, it was like 50-50 with that, in front of me. Like, I had some people that I was with it, like, yeah, keep going with it. Some people was like, like, yo, like, for me, thought I was wack at a time, whatever occasion it'd be like, for me it is what it is for me.  They see what's going on. So what motivates you to keep going? Like, how do you keep your, how do you keep going? Everything keeps me going, my, my niggas, my team, my management team, um, just life period. Like, I go through, if I go through anything that's down, motivate, motivate. Anything that's, that like, people, um, people that keep telling me that they're supporting me, keep going, for me that's motivation, for me. Okay. So are you signed or are you independent? I'm independent. Okay. But you have the management team and things like that. What would you say is a plus to having the management team being an independent artist? Cause a lot of artists think they can do it all themselves. That's a fact. So what do you think? Like, I, like, not to say like that, but I feel like, you know, artists, artists can do it by itself, for me. He just got to put the, he got to put that work in, you know what I'm saying? Like I was doing it by myself, for me. But what I say, with the help coming with the management is like, I don't, for me, I'm not a person that, you know, I ain't rich, for me. So it's like to pay for studio time, pay for videos, pay for this, pay for that.  Yeah, it's helpful. And then that's extra promotion for me and these are people that believe in me just as much as me, you know what I'm saying, right? So, yeah. So any artists that you want to collab with, any dream collabs, or any collabs in the cut, or? Yeah, I got some spooky collabs in the cut, for me. I can't speak on that dude. Yeah, New York, New York. New York, spooky collab with Texas artists, Houston, Texas. Spooky collab coming with artists from Vegas. And I got New York artists too. So any big artists you want to collab with?  I want to collab with like, G Herbo, who else, like, I want to collab with, I do, I still want to collab with J Critch, for me. I'm busy, well, it's a couple of all these I want to collab with, you know what I'm saying? Why you saying you still want to, like, why you saying you still want to, like? I still want to collab with J Critch. Oh, no, no, no, I said like that, because for me, like, for me, these people I know, you feel me, like, I'm tapped in with these people, you feel me, so it's like people, but everybody asks me, like, yo, you ever going to do something with them? You ever going to do something for me? Like, so yeah, like, that's why I said still, that's still my mindset, yeah. That's still on the table. Yeah, it's still on the table. All right, all right, all right, so what's next for you? Got a project coming this year, like, how are you about to end off the year? For me, project might come this year, definitely.

In this study, researchers found that exposure to a certain type of plant toxin or microbiota can cause damage to the extra-hypatic bile ducts, EHBD, leading to a condition called biliriatresia, BA. They also discovered that a specific compound, biliatrosone, can induce similar effects in both BALB, C-mice and C-57BL6J mice, suggesting that it may be a potential therapeutic option for treating BA. This article was authored by Hans Christian Schmidt, Johanna Hagens, Pauline Shuppert and others.


I mean, we got to perfect the quarterback apparently better. And I mean, we got to cover better. Simple as that.  We, they wanted more than that today. I mean, apparently. So, I mean, I don't know how else to put it. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's about now. It's just, it's going to be about our culture. It's everything going to show us now. We're going to see what type of team we got. We're going to see what type of guys in this locker room.  You know, what type of leadership we have through adversity. You know, adversity really shows who you are.  But like I said, we, we have to play better on all three phases. And I mean, I'm, I can control what I got to control what I control. But being a leader, man, we got to play better on all three sides of the ball. I think it's starting with holding everyone accountable. I mean, it's the little things of starting tomorrow.  It's like I said, it's, it's all the little thing that go out through our whole week. I mean, I don't feel like we didn't have a good week of practice.  Thank you for this. No one kind of, what was at stake today? Man, we just got to play better. But we got to go in and take it to tomorrow. You know, put it behind us, continue to grind. Come closer as a unit.  And that's what we got to do. We got to keep digging. We hit the roots, we're about to back up. Is this a test of character at this point? Maybe after three straight L's? Yeah, man, you know, you got to, anytime the adversity strikes like that, man, it's always testing character. So, you know, we got to come in and make the right decisions tomorrow. You know, continue to grind and don't look back at this. Keep it in our gut. Continue to know that what happened, you know, three weeks in a row, man, we can't continue to let that happen. And we got to hold ourselves accountable. Offensively, what were they doing that was so successful? I know Ingram had a big deal.  They had a game plan, I guess, to give him the ball.    That's on all of us, the front, the whole unit as an individual. Nick converted a lot of big third downs. How frustrating was that? I mean, to get off the field in some of those key situations. Yeah, man, you know, a couple of times it covered today, man. And I put it upon myself. I got to get better at that. You know, that was our part of the situation. You know, when you called upon to go in the environment, when they trust you to be in space, and you make a big play, you have to take it on the chain. I take full responsibility for it. We're two of them. And I got to make sure I get better at that aspect, when I'm asked to do that. They made a bunch of plays, and we didn't execute our keys that we go through every week. We lost. What disappointing is that? Kind of knowing every time it was on the line in this game, Mike talked about it being the draw. He was having a team. Hey, who was the first?  Like, we didn't get in this sport or this business to take L's. Like, there's not where I'm about this team, or any of us are about, you know what I mean? Like, we put a lot into it. So, you know, we have to get back to work tomorrow, and get back to the drawing board, and take coaching, and fix the mistakes. What was Mike's message, getting back to the drawing board, and looking ahead, just trying to find, you know, one win to get off this smile. Like he said, after the game, we're just going to find a way to get a win next week. And that's what this whole week's going to be about, just getting one win.
