Helen herself was appointed chief executive of the climate group in March 2017 and proud of that she worked at the forum for the future where she led work with large U.S. corporations to solve complex sustainability challenges. She has also worked for Medisans en Frontier where she worked on humanitarian missions in countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Burundi, Pakistan and Nigeria and she holds degrees from both University of Cambridge and Burbig College London. A fascinating backstory and a fascinating position at the moment Helen. The floor is yours mobilising governments and businesses to tackle climate change. Thank you and I'll mobilise myself over here and I've got my watch because I've got the message about staying to time so thank you. Thanks very much for having me here today. As has been said I'm chief exec of the climate group and what I'll talk to you about is who we are because I'm sure most of you haven't heard of us. How we work with business and government and why we work with businesses and governments, who we're talking to, who I'm referring to when I say governments it's a particular layer of government and how we use that to shift markets and policies and I'll give you a specific example which is called the Zev challenge zero emission vehicle challenge. On a bit of a look forward but I think some of you are much more deeper into what's coming on the kind of policy horizon but I can show you. I was going to say my hope's not optimism but today is not a good day. We've had the 1.5 degree sea report, special report from the IPCC which I'm sure some of you are starting to kind of dig into and worry about. So our mission is our vision is to accelerate climate action. We're very much focused on that action piece and I'll talk about that. Here we talk about a world of under two degrees sea of warming. Actually we want to keep it well below that close to 1.5 but you'll see later we work with something called the under two coalition and it was getting too confusing to have different numbers all over the place so we've kept it like this and we do that by bringing together these networks and coalitions of businesses and governments which aim to move markets and move policies and the idea there is to take we're not an innovation house we're not inventing things but we're taking proven innovations and working out how you get those to scale. It's all about the acceleration and we look for where the biggest global opportunities are for change. Now I don't normally share this next slide and now I realize you can't read it anyway but I used the wrong ratio in PowerPoint it looks like.  Not everyone does, not even everyone in my own organisation does but this is how we aim to create change and it's relevant to this conversation about why we're trying to mobilize. So we build these networks of businesses and governments with ambitious goals in the middle of them so everyone who comes to us has to make an ambitious commitment. We talk about hundreds and zeros and the reasons for that is what we've found is if you make a business if you've got a business to commit to 90% renewable electricity that'll be pretty good it's a lot better than most businesses are doing and you could say well that's probably in line with the science it's fine but what we found is that behaviorally everyone within the business then assumes that they're in the 10% and nothing happens. So if you set a 100% goal and what you have to do is persuade businesses that you don't know how to do that last 10% we know that we know you don't know how to get to 100 but set the ambition there and you'll start to unleash innovation within the business because everyone knows that therefore it applies to them and when we do the reporting what we're finding is that companies that set 100% targets get there quicker than they thought they could. So we build these networks of businesses and governments create these network initiatives that's the second bubble so we bring them together we do lots of peer learning so we put them in touch with one another we're trying to get more and more into how do we get those companies to work together can they do joint purchasing agreements we're looking at things quite regionally groups of companies in Europe say or Asia working together and I think that's going to continue to grow and we convert as you said their commitment into action so the idea is make a commitment and then we work with you to actually then deliver on it and then we have two sort of they're not quite carrot and stick but we but more or less so we use transparency so a lot of reporting let's check how they're doing we're going to check in with you Annalee we're going to see how you're doing keep keep the momentum up that way but we also really believe in communication so we probably have a much bigger communications team and budget than most nonprofits because we want to continue to keep pressure but also reward and inspire others we're trying to create momentum through these coalitions and what we're finding with RE100 which I'll talk a bit about is that companies now self refer so in the early days of one of these initiatives you have to go out and knock on all these doors persuade people but now with RE100 we're at 150 companies we don't have to do much active recruitment because people out there see it and want to join it and that's through using communications and the idea then is you drive the ambition so companies that are meeting their 100% goals at the moment lost them are using recs to do that so energy certificates but then you try and push the ambition to be more about getting new energy onto the grid so that's the idea it's a kind of idea is that this circle creates the acceleration so on the business side I hate this diagram but I'm sorry I did not I do not have the design say of my organization I haven't yet swayed them to change it and we haven't come up with anything better we have three things put them in a triangle seem to be the thought process but anyway we have at the moment 300s campaigns as we call them EP100 RE100 and EV100 so EP100 is energy productivity we thought that if we called it energy productivity it was so much sexier than energy efficiency that people would flock to us and sign up in droves but yet it remains I think this is very strange and something we might get onto in the discussion so if energy efficiency is weirdly or energy productivity is a kind of weird sort of people aren't really into it and I don't understand why because you can save loads and loads of money if you get this right like we have some thoughts about why but EP100 is an ambition to double your energy productivity so we're looking at the amount of energy used versus your economic activity RE100 is a commitment to 100% renewable electricity and then EV100 is about accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles and their companies can make a commitment either about their own fleet so it might be their least fleet it might be their own fleet or they can make a commitment around charging infrastructure because we know a lot of the problem with EVs is this kind of fear about where am I going to recharge so IKEA one of the first signatories to that and I always say you don't know where your next nearest EV charging point is but you probably know where your nearest IKEA is so as they put charging infrastructure in you go along there they've now launched vegan hot dogs so you get your vegan hot dog you charge your thing you buy black fat furniture or whatever so that's these three things work together we think if you put those together we haven't yet we are on the verge we think of getting one company to sign up to all the three a lot of companies belong to maybe two of these but we're trying to push come ownership of all of them and what's surprising to me and again for discussion maybe is why you'd sign up to 100% renewable electricity without having committed to doubling your energy productivity because then you need less electricity right but it's one of those things I don't know if you run into this with your policy work those of you do it hard to get people to do but anyway these are the business action networks now if you look at the next slide this is which was a bit bigger but this is who's in re 100 it's 150 businesses and you'll see they are big businesses you know these are real leaders if you add together the renewable energy renewable electricity electricity demand of these companies you would get the equivalent electricity demand of a country the size of Poland you'd get about the 23rd biggest country in the world in terms of electricity demand so the idea is you're creating this massive demand signal you're saying to the renewable energy market here is a demand as we were talking um we've just been doing a lot of work on evs and at the global climate summit in california we've been pushing and I'll talk about that the reserve challenge mayor Garcetti from the mayor of los angeles said was talking about evs he said if you build them we will drive them so it's this demand signal it's the same idea with this if you provide renewable electricity we're here to buy it but there's also work going on to create new sources of electricity coming together and also doing policy work so what's been really interesting is that as re 100 has grown policy makers can see this and this was the idea we talk about moving markets moving policy you've put together this huge demand signal but also a signal to policy makers that we need a policy environment in which these companies can get on and so now that re 100 has grown to this side we're finding that policy makers are listening and are interested in what re 100 companies have to do so last year or earlier this year the european clean energy package was coming together and we could bring a group of re 100 companies to the policy makers in brusles and talk about what they needed to stop there being barriers to them having ppas so it's getting into a conversation between businesses and policy makers so that the policy isn't about necessarily always creating the framework but actually kind of locking down the system the conditions in which things can work so you get these companies saying this is what we want and you can take and work with the policy makers to figure that out um i was looking up before I came what's happening here and which Irish companies we need to see in here so by 2030 one third of Irish electricity demand will be from data centres so you need to point me in the direction of those companies because we need to be talking about uh those companies and getting them in here and getting them into ep 100 so i'll take any referrals you have um moving on to government so we um work as the secretariat of something called the under two coalition now i'll give you a bit of history because i'll explain why it's called under two um in the run up to paris so 2015 governor jerry brown in california those of you who know him he's quite he's a climate activist he's also kind of an irasable old guy basically he's got 80 something now quite quite deaf and shouty i've met him lots of times i don't think he'd mind being described like that but he's very very angry he's been working on this stuff for a long time and he thinks no one's going quickly enough he thinks california which he's the governor of isn't going quickly enough and it's doing better than everywhere else so he's very very motivated and fired up so three years ago in the run up to the paris agreement he was very worried along with some others that we weren't actually going to get an agreement it's easy to look back in history and go of course we were always going to get the paris agreement but it wasn't clear that we would and so what he did with his counterpart in the less famous than california barden wuttenberg in germany they came together and said let's found a coalition of states and regions that are more ambitious than the national governments because what if we don't get a paris agreement maybe we can create a coalition that's big enough to move even without the paris agreement you know even if there is nothing in paris so they formed this thing called the under two now it's a bit techy it's actually under two tons of carbon we've kept it more in the branding around under two degrees of course then paris happened and was more ambitious than that so it's paris for those of you who don't think about it every day which i do um is the ambition in paris is well under two degrees with a ambitious target of 1.5 which this morning we've heard is technically possible um so depends how optimistic you're feeling about that but anyway this group of governments is so the map looks very blank this is because i insisted on using a proper as i call it map of the world rather than that one that kind of explodes europe up to be massive um we actually have 220 governments that are signed up most of them are state regional provincial so now wish i'd learned to read up that irish christmas cake this works in the uk but i call it that marzipan layer so you know you have this layer that comes under the icing which is the national government and you've got the cake and there's this interesting level of government that sits between the two it is often kind of people are often more connected with their state and region even if they don't always know who those politicians are it varies very widely from country to country about what powers they have so it can so there are some places here which will almost never sign up because it just doesn't really exist as a level of government that's helpful there but across europe across the us um increasingly south america we're getting very good coverage and other parts of the world this coalition is forming and i've got some stats here which looks a bit better than the map um so actually if you add it up you get to an enormous um coverage of the global economy um and 1.3 billion people and it's probably that those numbers because you know that 1.3 isn't like 43 percent partly because we've got a lot of european states that are wealthy that are signed up and ambitious so what do we do with them oh sorry one more thing about that which we're quite excited by there was a report going into the summit in california that data driven Yale did and they looked at all these types of coalitions that exist across the world so networks i c 40 re 100 and they found that under two has the greatest potential for emissions reductions of all these sorts of networks and if all the governments and it's a big big if i acknowledge if all the governments in that hit their targets then by 2030 they would be reducing by 4.9 to 5.2 gigatons of carbon per annum by 2030 which is the equivalent of the EU so that's how you can kind of imagine the emissions reductions potential but that's the potential so we have to figure out how to deliver on that so what we do at the moment we've got sort of five kind of lines of work one is just we call it engagement that means just getting them to show up and remember their part of it and keep reminding them of their targets and and sort of keeping engaged with the whole thing then the actual work streams are setting out 2050 pathways so we need each of these governments to say how are they going to get to 2050 now if you go to McKinsey and ask them for a 2050 pathway they'll charge you half a million dollars and probably take two or three years so if you scale it up by 220 you realize it's not really going to work like that so some of the work we're doing there is trying to create groups of economies that look quite similar and do a kind of good enough pathway for a forest economy for a retail for a manufacturing so that's one way by bringing a coalition together you can do start to do some sort of leapfrogging we also do mrv work measurement reporting verification so as I said before always checking in on how they're doing but we also have a project to help skill up some of the countries to do their mrv so not just always believing what we get but also doing some work around capacity building there and then the third work stream is called policy and that's around how do you get places to learn from one another and can we get some acceleration going by not every region in the world sort of sitting down with a blank piece of paper and thinking right what are we how are we going to do this now so we've had something running over the last year called the last three years called the energy transition platform that's just wound up and there'll be a new version called the industrial transition platform but essentially what that's done is to take 11 economies that look pretty similar so Alberta, Minnesota, Wales, North Rhine Westphalia, these places which you can hear in very different parts of the world but they all have a very similar problem which they have concentrated heavy industry so you've got maybe the person from Wales said we've basically got 12 companies here it's kind of tiny so you've got concentration of jobs and a concentration of emissions and these are big global multinationals they don't really care which country they're based in if you go too hardly they just lift their jobs up dump them in another country and you've got a political problem on your hand and you might have tackled your emissions reductions but you haven't really done that in a way which if you go back to our mission is about ensuring greater prosperity for all so what can Wales as they're looking at that learn from Alberta which is looking at a quite similar problem can we nick policies for one another copy and what we're finding is you can't just copy paste a policy for one place to another but a lot of the processes that you go through are quite similar so our next version of this project is going to look much more about what are the processes to be a politician or change maker or civil servant in these places and I went to one of the meetings this group and it was like people were meeting their long lost cousins because you know you've got one civil servant in Wales thinking about this all the time and they found their counterpart who sits in Minnesota thinking about this all the time and it was lovely so we're going to keep building that out and start to do it with other clusters we can see if you're interested in such things which I hope you are we have a policy action map which we're also developing because what you want is our members to be able to see who's got a policy on what where and this will just hopefully continue to grow and grow and we also on this point about states and regions have very different powers we were finding it really hard to get our heads around what can states and regions do because it's so different so rocky mountain institute who are clever other than us you're very good at this sort of thing we're giving some money to go and figure that out and we've now got this which is great it's called the carbon free regions handbook and it's got lots of ideas about the types of policy it's got case studies and so on and we're going to use this to direct our policy work but it's a really good recommended reading it's a page turner it's good it's very good it's got some good case studies in there the final thing we do as climate climate group as I said we do a lot about communications and one of the things that we do every year is run something called climate week in New York which some of you might have been at it runs alongside the UN General Assembly so the idea is that you've got a lot of stuff going on about a climate when you've got all the heads of state in town and we actually got some of them there last week I failed to include because I'm just not very good at PowerPoint um but Jacinda Ardern who I'm just a fan of uh spoke at our opening ceremony for that so I've got a nice cheesy picture with her we had a little name badge for the baby but the baby didn't had jet lags I didn't come which was a shame but uh we also had the head of state of Peru who has a very large entourage uh Haiti various other places it was great to have them there and coming in just getting people to getting them to think about climate change and the fact that it was so far up their agenda was great hopefully in future we get kind of other bigger maybe one might say even heads of state it's been going on for 10 years this was just the um theme this year we were trying to really get the people of New York to notice it a bit more um as a leading city but we can talk more about that in the discussion and then I just wanted to give you an example of um all of this coming together so um as you know we had uh well some of you will know in the beginning of September there was this global climate action summit again Governor Brown uh flexing his muscles pulling everyone together in California um and I was on the advisory council for that um which was quite hard work um because what they wanted to do was to make sure that everyone who came to that had new commitments so it was a kind of year running it's not just show up and tell us what you've been doing more commitments really trying to drive that so we pulled something called uh together called the zero mission vehicle challenge I do have a photo of myself looking incredibly sweaty they made me launch it that's a formula e vehicle which is the more interesting thing in this picture so formula e uh the racing it's like formula one but it's electric formula e um with a lot of these innovations they start off in that in those kind of elite car bit and then they kind of trickle down um so they brought that along um and what you just cut off because I don't know there's such a bad picture but anyway Mary Nicholls is just cut off the edge of the side there now she is in charge of the California Air Resources Board um and if you follow these things at all California are locked into a battle with the federal US government moment about emissions standards and California has been very leading and has always pushed the emissions standards for the states because they've had this ability to set their own standards which means that um car manufacturers essentially have to manufacture to the California standards and they're they're locked in this battle at the moment so it's great to get Mary there because she's just day to day with the manufacturers talking about this stuff but the idea of the challenge was to take our ev 100 campaign add it together with c 40 cities which is a network of 95 of the biggest cities they have something called green and healthy streets which is a commitment to electric public transport particularly buses add that together and then we went out to the under two governments and said why don't you make the same commitment to zv 100 so using their purchasing power to procure electric vehicles when you add all of that together you start to get a really big demand signal to the electric vehicle manufacturers and more importantly to the internal combustion engine manufacturers so we were and we had to word this very carefully with California because where they are in their particular battle but we talked a lot over these days about how do we start to get a signal from the automotive companies about what their end game is for the combustion engine and we need to hear that because if you look at something like the IPCC report that came out today that day we've got countries around the world committed to 2040 but we need to be bringing that closer and closer and I think if you can add together the demand and send this demand signal again you give certainty into the market for the automotive companies to feel like they can phase out so we're early stages but in the first year of having since we launched ev 100 and bringing these together we now have over 60 cities states and businesses and when you start to add their targets together you really get to quite a large market so we're going to continue to grow that and we're going to continue to figure out how to put pressure on the automotive companies and we want at least one of them to come forward and tell us when are you going to stop producing the combustion engine right we will move off the picture of me looking great it was so hot in there it was a warehouse in Brooklyn and they shut all the doors and then we just baited inside I think maybe the idea was to put pressure on the automotive companies like we won't let you out until but anyway they weren't there so this is my last thing I was trying to think about looking forward and where all this is going obviously we're going to continue to be building these we'll start looking soon at what comes next in terms of the hundreds but just in terms of what all this is doing so where we are in the kind of climate policy cycle as it were and I know there's bigger experts than me here for sure on a lot of these things so the IPCC special report came out today in a few weeks the lucky ones amongst us here will assemble in Katowice in Poland I'm not looking forward to that at all because it's going to be very cold and hard to get to um but that's the next COP conference of the parties it's when the parties to the UN FCCC come together again um and the idea then is that we're all moving towards 2020 essentially that's the next big year when the nationally determined contributions which form the basis of the Paris agreement when they're next looked at and so these two cops this year and next year in Brazil the idea is to be sort of putting the pressure on the government so agreeing the rule books and so on um if you add together the current NDCs it would take us to three degrees of warming and we're already hearing today in the report about how disastrous two degrees is going so we just don't have an option we've got to get these um NDCs down I also put US exit from Paris possibly in 2020 probably but I'm holding my optimistic heart is set on a democratic president who wins and the next day says it's fine we're staying in Paris because if because the timing they've got four days between their victory party and saying that they're gonna stay so we can hope for that but you know look where the COP is next year of Brazil and um obviously a big election going on there and quite terrifying election going on right now so from a climate point of view the big questions that we need to keep the pressure on but also support national governments and a lot of the work we do um and the idea of the california conference is this kind of showing what's happening in the the real economy as it were so businesses investors sub national governments um showing that all of those players are moving and doing enough to support the governments to be more ambitious and that's why the kind of theme of the california conference was step up so everyone needs to take a step up everyone needs to do more we are seeing a lot of movement we're seeing a lot of really ambitious leadership but there's just tons and tons um to do i'm going to leave it there it was 25 minutes there you go


So the first thing, and I think the most important thing when you go into an interview is that they're going to ask you questions about a particular product. The what what is most important is why you're building it right why are you doing it. It's for your consumers of course of the product but what are the metrics and goals that you're going after right what's the goal of the company that you're tying this product back to. That's the first thing if you're talking about a product and you're like you're going to get this question all the time like what about what would you build if if you were at this company. Your first response should be well the company's goals and mission are xyz right and so I would want to build a product that tied back to the the goal of the company or the mission of the company. Facebook to keep the world more open and connected so whatever you do if you had an interview there you would always tie back whatever it is that you're talking about back to the mission of the company otherwise it's a no starter right off the bat.


expected, so it's all going to be left to football. We look at the starting line-up. For Clarendon College, Roche Borell is in goal. Rojel Francis, Nashon Boll, Devonte Hodges and Atiba Green. The back four in the middle of the park. Theon Cupid, Deandre Gadimore, and Malachi Douglas, number seven who has 15 goals to his name so far this season, as well as 13 assists up top. Justin Hales on the left. First up a hole with 12 goals on the right and through the middle. Cahim Dixon, 25 goals and 16 assists beside his name. What a season he's had. So often he has played second fiddle in teams at Clarendon College, but this time he is the main man at Dixon and expecting a lot of him today. Gavin Masio, their starting line-up. See, it's Chris Marr, Max Willinggoal, Tyree McKenley, Olandali Blake, Malik Robinson and Devani McIntosh. The back four in the middle of the park. Christopher Montal, Kanwai Williams, Zalana Thompson and Livingston Donaldson. And up top, Zalani Williams was 11 goals to his name. And of course their captain, dangerous number 10, Cleo Clark, with 22 goals. Yeah, so both these two teams have dangerous marksmen. Cleo Clark has been around so- It was always a cage of fear, Dwight Jeremiah. And you thought that they weren't playing close to their potential in this one. Yeah, well, definitely the first half brought these two teams really look off the pace when the conditions weren't conducive. Yep, as we take a look at the full-time highlights here. And you're right, the first half, there wasn't a lot to write home about. Clarendon College showing a little bit more ambition. In fact, they came closest on quite a few occasions hitting the woodwork here. And the follow-up from Christopher Hall, eventually handled by Maxwell. But Dixon with a massive chance there, Maxwell with a wonderful save, you know. And who knows, he may just be the hero at the end of the day because he certainly came to the party on a couple of occasions rescuing Gavin Masio. Well, Douglas took the game by the struff of the neck, was brought down inside the box, penalty awarded, and he would eventually pick himself up from off the turf to convert from 12 yards in stoppage time. And the defending champions with the advantage at the interval here won nil the score. In the second half, Gavin Masio stepped up, clear clock, hitting the crossbar. He knew he was close. And then another opportunity for clock again. And it was a really good save at that near post as that one was fired in. This was some good work by Clarendon College, wonderful build-up, several passes put together. But again, Maxwell denying them. And then penalty awarded, referee saying that that challenge was on the line, clear clock from 12 yards putting that one away. And that was equalizer celebration, taking some inspiration from Shamar Nicholson recently for the reggae boys. And that was enough firing them back level with the defending champions. It was 1-1. Then they pushed the college supporters as we take a look at the shootout. It was accurate for the most part. Do I have to remind some good penalties? Yeah, started well for both teams. Two first penalties, perfect for both teams. And the change bringing on Rodney, paid off there. You're denying clear clock. And that was the twist that a lot of us didn't expect. And that was put away coolly. And then a lot of pressure on him to convert. Yeah, Maureen O'Brien sent it wide. And with that, Clarendon College, they were back in the Lacostica final. And a genius of a change there to bring in Rodney. And that you have to be brave with that because you do that, you doesn't. With the KFC man of the match, Malachi Douglas. Thank you. I'm joined by KFC man of the match, Malachi Douglas of Clarendon College. Congratulations, Malachi. Let me have a quick chat with you now. Well, Malachi, I'm sure you're overwhelmed with emotions now.  How does it feel? It's a wonderful feeling, actually. Remember, in 2021, we actually played against them in the semi-final and last. So I'm feeling very great to actually win this one and also to be the man of the match. Speak to me about the substitute keeper that came in and saved that penalty from Clio Clare. Speak to me about his performance. Well, to be honest, he's been waiting on this moment to be honest, actually, every day in training. As you can see, I always score my penalties in games and in training, I'm always missing against him. So the team believes in him and also me for sure. Well, Glenmure would have been in penalties as well. So you're going to play Glenmure in the next game. How excited are you about that game? Well, you know, it's going to be a very, very tough one, but we'll always give it our best. Send a message to Glenmure in the camera right now. I want to send a message to the CC fans. We're going to, for sure, keep you guys, make you guys proud, actually. And, you know, we're just going to fight today. All right, Malakai Douglas. Thank you. Thank you. All right, that was man of the match. Malakai Douglas of Clarendon College back in the Dacosta Cup final. I'm joined now by coach Miron Gordon of Garvey-Moselle. Coach, you made it to the match. I know you were coming from Canada, but I know you couldn't miss your boys today. Speak to me about the performance. You lost on penalties, slim margins, but how did you see the game? You know, since I came back, I've been very sick with hot and cold, but I just couldn't miss this. I think, tactically, we planned for them. I think we really did well tactically. They have a lot of quality players, though. You know, so if we lose the ball in certain years, you know, it'll be dangerous. I think my team really stood to the task right through.  You know, I hope they can take it all away. And, you know, congratulations to my boys. You know, when we started the season, nobody expected us to do so good, but, you know, sometimes it's not the best players, but the right team. It's the most important thing.  Thank you, Coach. All the best.  All right, yeah, that was Coach Miron Gordon there. Couldn't get it done against local rivals. Clarendon College. And against his student, Coach asked you about Miron Gordon earlier. You said he's the teacher of one of the courses that you are taking in. I don't know if you think you're going to be sent to the back of the class now. But speak to me about the game and the win. Normally, I'm supposed to bring him at the front, that I can't go and work with him. We do one at the national program. That's the aim right now. I'm doing the beelize now, so I'm waiting on that to come true. Yeah, talk to me about the goalkeeper change. He saved one of the most sure penalties in my opinion from Clarendon.  Yeah, man, definitely. We've been kicking penalty from three, four months ago. Every session, after session, we have penalty shootout. And this goalkeeper, he saved a lot in training. So the goalkeeper coach, a coach, came out faster from Waterhouse. He's our goalkeeper coach and he made the call. And I was agreeing with it. And that's the reason why Lydell went to the goal. Well, you're into the final now. Glenmure would have won on penalties against Dintu. What do you think about the matchup coming up? Good matchup again. Love playing against Glenmure team. They are about playing team. So we just have to go and prepare for that. Tuesday is an excrucial game against Lydell. So we'll be looking forward to that. Oh, well, we can replenish the players, get them rested and ready for Tuesday game. Thank you, coach. All the best. Yeah, thanks.


एक और वगल मुन्मिशन चंदरे आगे रहे हैं firans another example is the frontiers of space at this very moment India's second Moon mission Chandrayaan 2 is on the way to the Moon. By 2022, we intend to place an Indian in space on Indian spacecraft. All these are the results of India's own achievements. For us, the space program is not just a matter of national pride. It is a vital instrument of national development and global cooperation. Friends, yesterday Prime Minister Charing and I also inaugurated the Thimphu Ground Station of the South Asia Satellite and expanded our space cooperation. Through satellites, benefits of telemedicine, distance education, resource mapping, weather forecast and even warning of natural disasters will reach even remote areas. It is even a matter of great happiness that young Bhutanese scientists will travel to India to work on designing and launching Bhutan's own small satellite. I hope that someday, soon, many of you will be scientists, engineers and innovators.


I know with my dad's passing and my grandfather's passing, one of the most difficult parts in their lives were their loss of mobility. My dad had an injury to his neck that he lost feeling in his arm and I do feel that for a lot of us as we age, mobility is going to become a really important factor in our quality of life. Obviously you practice yoga. Was there anything that you learned from our elders who were limber and who were in great shape that could help us maintain that physical side of things so that we can have the movement and be able to live a long, happy and fulfilling life? I mean there's certain kinds of exercise that'll just crush you. I mean running is so hard on your body, you know, and most of the time you don't see people that live to be very old who were runners.  But the pounding is just so intense and you have to think in terms of longevity, the stretching is much healthier and then you want to be agile. You know, I mean I think the yogis say you can tell how healthy somebody is not by the shape of their body but by the agility of their spine and I think that really carries into old age. Yeah, your ability to pick things up as you get older comes down to exactly that and for a lot of us we're not thinking about those things, right? Yeah, I mean like having a bicep the size of your head, I mean what's the practicality of that? Well it's great if you're an influencer like Johnny but that fades so you're going to want to be able to move, you're going to want to be able to hang out with your grandchildren and actually get on the floor and get up and pick things up and that is something that wanes as we get older. Yeah and I think even more than the physical health is the mental health and how you exercise your mind and you know just gratitude. There's this leading researcher on gratitude and he says that gratitude, you have to be a badass to be grateful because gratitude is morally and intellectually demanding. You know it's easy to wake up and fixate on all the stuff that you got to get done and it's hard to wake up and shift your focus to everything that's good in your life and so just mental strength is really important as well. Yeah and when you're in a state of gratitude you can't have any other emotional feelings. You're strictly in gratitude unlike you know multitasking I can be afraid I can be angry but when you're focused on gratitude and being grateful that's the only state that you can be in. Yeah and the whole thing about it shifting on focus of what you have rather than what you don't have and it certainly it is a shift and it does take patience and it does take work to be able to do that. I still you know when I had learned about appreciation and started practicing it I know that not only did my thoughts about where I was in life changed but how I woke up and approached every day changed. Yeah I mean it's an everyday practice it's so easy to focus on what you need and what you don't have. One of my favorite quotes is this to think you need something you don't already have as a form of insanity and I think it's true. I mean your whole life you could be searching for the things you don't have and how are you going to appreciate the things you hope to have in the future if you can't appreciate what you have right this moment. So and I think for a lot of us taking a step back and thinking about where we were you know as a kid where we were just five years ago allows us to actually find that stuff to be grateful for. Yeah a lot of us are present forward looking thinking about the future and what we don't have and time and time again we just have to take a step back and realize well you know four years ago I couldn't run this fast I couldn't lift this much weight I couldn't talk to this many people I didn't have this level of confidence at work so it is looking backwards to see just how far you've come to find that gratitude and we love the five minute journal I don't know if you're I haven't yeah that's great it's a fantastic practice morning and evening a few prompts you fill it out every single day and it really reinforces the gratitude and it does it's been scientifically shown to lift your mood and change your mental health which I think is huge as we get older it's huge and like I was trying to paint the picture when you're 90 and you may not have the agility to get around but if your mind is fit and strong that's that's really important because you're gonna be spending a lot more time with your thoughts and if you have beautiful thoughts it's gonna be a beautiful life if your thoughts are going down a black hole it's gonna be a struggle well and certainly we were just discussed and you were mentioning him if that's if you were a worrier at 40 imagine what that is going to look like at 65 so it's no time like the present then they get positivity training and getting that fixed that why I fixed out change is difficult transforming yourself we're actually gonna it's gonna be an upcoming theme month for us transformation but transformation is hard change is very hard a lot of us are set in our ways what was the biggest transformation you saw or witnessed from an elder who just in their youth were one way and then as they age they they changed oh wow that's a good question I have to think about that one I didn't I didn't write a lot about the elders that transformed I think the more interesting part was looking through the lens of an elder and seeing their perspective looking back over their life and what they see as the important moments that stood out across 80 90 a hundred years and I mean what you know everybody over that span of a lifetime goes through hell that you hit rock bottom you go through hell not all of the elders ever bounce back from that that's a decision that you have to pick yourself up and bounce back a lot of them they stayed down for years and that usually manifested as some kind of illness or disease so that the wherewithal to pick yourself up and keep trucking that's an important one I mentioned just the value that you place on relationships and community is really important if you spend a lot of a long time it tends to to wear on you as you get older so it's really like looking through from the lens of an elder looking back on their life another interesting thing that I learned is I would always ask if they're scared of death because when you're 80 90 a hundred years old any breath could be your last and honestly not one time did they say they were scared to die and most of the time they said they welcomed it and I thought that was really really interesting because death is a scary subject in our culture yeah I definitely feel like just thinking about it that it's scary for me as I sit here so I can't imagine getting to that place but you know that's just it that resiliency and understanding how to be grateful for the life that you have and all of the things you've been able to accomplish I would assume allows you to get there yeah and also you know in yoga the the Shavasana is like the most wonderful part of yoga it's the corpse pose or the death pose and learning to just relax into that piece is the feeling that you kind of senses what happens when when older people are approaching the end it's not this scary anxiety-ridden thing but it's like a a sense of peace


This tutorial is for people who want to install OpenBazaar on Windows and use Tor. Please note that this only applies to people creating new nodes. If you're already running an OpenBazaar node, then other participants on the network have seen your IP address. So to use Tor effectively, you must create a new node. The first step is to visit torproject.org and download the Tor browser. It's always a good step to check the signature, which I won't go over in this video, but you can go to support.torproject.org and read about the process there. It's not mandatory, but it's a good idea. Once you've downloaded the Tor browser and verified the signature, you then open up the installer and go through the installer onboarding process. When the installer is complete, it'll ask if you want to run Tor browser. What you do, click finish, click connect here. Alright, now you have the Tor browser running. That's the first step. The next step is to visit openbazaar.org, click download, and then click the download for your operating system, in this case Windows, either 32 or 64-bit. If you're unsure, it's likely 64-bit. Once the download is finished, go ahead and open up the installer. It's going to connect to your built-in server. Alright, so after you run the installer the first time openbazaar runs, if you're running the Tor browser, as you should be, then it's going to detect that Tor is running. So you click this box, use Tor. Don't change the SOX 5 proxy or put in a password and click save. Now you can set up your new openbazaar node. Notice in the client here, there's this little onion icon. That should always be present if you're connected to Tor. So I'm going to click get started. This is where you would put in the name of the store you want, description, avatar, etc. You should read the terms of service. And you're done. You're now running openbazaar over Tor. Now I'm going to show you what happens if you try to open up openbazaar again but Tor is not running. So I'm going to shut this down. I'm going to close the Tor browser. And I'm going to open up openbazaar again. Notice it says that Tor was not detected. And the only way we can proceed is to uncheck this use Tor box. Which of course you should not do if you're intending to use this with Tor. So that's it. It's as simple as starting the Tor browser before you install openbazaar for the first time. If you're already using openbazaar and you want to now start using Tor, then you just need to delete your current openbazaar installation and start a new one. Make sure before you do that that you take care of any remaining trade that you have. And also that you take care of any cryptocurrency that you might have in your wallets.


You have studied in Delhi College of Parks, which is located in Netaji Nagar. Yes, sir. I have studied there for how many years? Sir, from 2016 to 2019. 19? Yes, sir. So that was day classes? Yes. You have seen the campus? Yes. Then what is the hang around campus? I couldn't get you. Sir, by hang around I mean I was mostly in Netaji Nagar, sir. Okay. I have not fully discovered new Moti Bagh, sir. Okay, okay. But have you gone once or twice inside? Yes. That's what I am asking. If you have gone inside, how does it look like? Do you find anything new, which is not available in any Delhi place? Yes, sir. I saw two or three major things. Firstly, is the food outlets, which are very well there. You can find good South Indian food there. Where? Sir, it's a shop. Sir, I don't remember. Okay, okay. Yes. Secondly, there are also government quarters located. Okay. And sir, it's like that. Government quarter? Which government? Sir, I cannot show you the answer. Okay. You have filled up your form, no? This form? Yes. How many services are there in this? Sir, 21, sir. 21. And how many plus B and how many plus 1 services? Group A and Group B. I am sorry, sir. I can't show it. No idea. It's okay. You know, we have parliament in the central government. Yes, sir. And then we have government, central government. Do we have this parallel at the lowest level of governance? Same type of arrangement? Sir, at the lowest level, we have the local self-government, sir. Those are the panchayati bodies and the urban local bodies. Can you equate these two institutions with the institutions at the ground level? Yes, sir. So, in these two situations, which are at the central level, that is the parliament and the central government, parliament is the law-making body of the country, sir. Whereas the central government is the executive located at the center. Whereas, at ground level, we have the panchayats for the villages at the Nagar panchayat level, as well as Zilla Barisha to overlook these. So, these are executive mostly. And we have parallelly the urban local bodies, sir. See, parliament, we can equate to Gram Sabha. Okay, sir. Okay? Yes, sir. It may not be exactly, but they are representatives of the people there and they are people themselves. They can raise their concerns and all. Yes, sir. And in Gram Sabha. Yes, sir. Okay? And government there, you can equate with the panchayats. Okay, sir. Okay? Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. Because they are not law-making body, but they can raise their concerns at the Gram Sabha level. Yes. Whereas, parliament, they raise the concerns of the public being representatives of the public. Yes. Okay. Have you heard of Forest Conservation Act? Yes, sir. I have heard of it. Okay. What is the objective and how it functions? Yes, sir. The Forest Conservation Act is about allowing for the use of forest land. That is, that is under the authority, sir. So, if the land is to be diverted, sir. Diverted for what? For development purposes, sir. Yes, sir. So, the act regulates that, sir. There is a forest land, degraded one, and we want to a-forest it. Plantations want to raise. Yes, sir. Is it diverse? No, sir. That is also under the act, but, sir, a-forestation is allowed within regulations. So, that means to say, diversion of forest land for non-forestry purposes. Yes, sir. Okay. Okay. Delhi, we have a commissioner's post. Yes, sir. That is under whom? Is it Delhi government? No, sir. It's under the Home Ministry, sir, central government. It's under the Home Ministry. Yes, sir. And it is, is it a cadre post? Cadre post means it is coming under which cadre? Sir, I am not sure about that. You have filled the Agmoot cadre as one of the choices? Yes, sir. Sir, I can guess it is Agmoot cadre, but I do not know whether it functions independently or not. It is Agmoot cadre. Absolutely. So, what I am asking is whether government can appoint anybody else there, not belonging to Agmoot cadre? Sir, I am not sure about this. What are the discretionary powers? We say generally, this is discretionary power. What does it mean? Yes, sir. Discretionary power would mean that within the prescribed power for that authority, there is a scope for discretion which the individual can exercise within those power. So, it depends on, it is called as discretion then, sir. So, in the government, whether these discretionary powers should be allowed or should not be allowed? Sir, discretionary power are allowed, sir. These are also indirectly mentioned in the constitution itself, sir, for the post of governor. Sir, these are allowed and given so that if there is a crisis, let us say in the government, if the assembly falls, then government, governor can exercise his discretion to appoint a government, sir. So, sir, I believe, I think that these should be allowed, sir. What are the discretionary powers for an officer? Sir, discretionary power for an officer could be when he is posted within our services, within a place, he can exercise certain rules and regulations, sir. There are delegated legislations, sir, which the rules bureaucrats make, sir. Those, in a sense, are discretionary as the individual can exercise those rules. What I am asking is whether discretionary powers should be encouraged or should not be encouraged? Sir, these should be, they should be a balance, sir. I think, sir, balance so that these should not cross the given limits, sir. The constitutional morality and the rule of law should be upheld and within the scope of these discretionary powers should be allowed. Okay. Elections in Rajya Sabha. How Rajya Sabha members are elected? Yes, sir. So, sir, we follow a system where Rajya Sabha members are elected from the State Legislative Assembly, sir. So, these are elected in a proportional representation system with single transferable votes. Single transferable votes, sir. Very good. In the very first attempt, you have made it. Yes, sir. That is remarkable. I wish you well. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Make it through, finally, also. Okay. You are from Madhya Pradesh. Yes, sir. You see, for the first time, there was something called Jalsatyagraha. What exactly is that Jalsatyagraha, where in Madhya Pradesh it took place? I am sorry, sir. I am not. You have no clue at all? No. Jalsatyagraha? No, sir. Meda Patkar. Does it give you any clue? I have heard of Meda Patkar. Yes. You have heard Meda Patkar, but not Jalsatyagraha. Any issues on Narmada thing? Now, can you make out? Sir, I can recall the Narmada Bachao Andolan, sir. Yes, sir. So, it was for the conservation of the land around Narmada for water demands and for the rehabilitation of the tribal people and the religious. But what do you think? What sort of Satyagraha it must have been when it is called Jalsatyagraha? Yes, sir. What sort of Satyagraha it must have been? Yes, sir. It might have been a protest by the activist as well as the village people against the government plan. No, no. Satyagraha normally people take fast on to death or things like that. Yes, sir. Here what would have been possibly done? You have any idea? Jalsatyagraha, they stood in water for 15 days. I thought you would have known. Now, how is the growth of an economy measured? Economic growth of a country measured? It is measured, sir. It is measured in GDP growth rates. Very good. Defined GDP? Sir, GDP is the total amount of goods and services produced in a country in a given year. In a country doing here. Very good. Have you seen today's paper? Yes, sir. I have seen. Okay. Any idea about the IMF forecast for growth? I skipped that, sir. I am sorry. Okay. Have you seen the economic survey of the country? No, sir. No, I haven't seen it. Do you have any idea about economic survey? What is the purpose of economic survey? Why is it brought out every year religiously? Yes, sir. Sir, economic survey is brought to forecast the future growth as well as to tell about the growth which has happened in the previous year so that the government has the idea to bring about reforms in the budget subsequently. Very good. But this year seeing you had no time or chance to see. You don't recall anything of that? No, sir. I am sorry. I will have to read into that, sir. Okay. What is the population pyramid? You know, we talk about, you have any idea about population pyramid? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What is it? Can you draw? Take a minute and draw. Yes, sir. Do you know? Can you draw? Yes, sir. I can draw. Just one minute. I will define the two axes. Sir. I have drawn two. But why have you drawn the inverter thing? Okay. Sir. But what is the first one? This is not done. Yes, sir. I think the old age population is more. It represents the Japan's population pyramid, sir. What do you refer to as demographic dividend? What is the demographic dividend? Sir, demographic dividend is when the working age population of a country is maximum. What is the working age? What is the definition? Sir, it includes age from 18 to 65. 18 to 65? Yes, sir. Ah, it is a new definition. Okay. What hobbies do you have? Do you have any hobbies? I did not see. Yes, sir. Reading books are great. So, what is the latest? Which book have you read lately? Sir, I have read the Tiananmen Square by the X Foreign Secretary of India, Sri Vijay Gokhale. Good. So, what did you find in that interesting? Yes, sir. Sir, the book is about the Tiananmen Square protest which happened in 1989 in China, sir. So, it goes on to explain as to why that protest happened and as to why China currently does not want the world to know about the protest in recent times. Was he a witness to the whole thing? Yes, sir. Because he was posted there then. Yes. As our ambassador, Gokhale. Very good. Okay, who is the governor of Madhya Pradesh? Sir, Sri Anandi Ben Patel. Thank you. Who like watching foreign films? Yes, sir. So, we do like watching foreign films? Yes, sir. I have recently watched the Iranian movie A Separation by Asgur Faradis. Sir, it basically reflects about the middle-life crisis in Iranian families. Sir, it goes on to explain as to how women when they have issues relates to morality or male-centric. So, sir, they refer to the state religious guidelines when they are planning to do one thing. Secondly, sir, they also reflect as to how women work within their household as to how they are supposed to be outside their household. And which other countries? Where do you watch? Sir, I watch it on. I basically download it from Torrent or Netflix or Amazon Prime. Is Torrent legal in India? Sir, the status is not clear. It is prohibited to download from Torrent. But then you can find those videos in groups where the videos are legally downloaded and shared. So, there are groups on Telegram where you can find these. Which laws cover all this? Downloading and sharing of data? Illegal sharing of data? Sir, I can only guess. I am not sure. Sir, it could be IT Act. Can you recommend me some non-fiction books? Yeah, about Habit of Reading Books. Yes, sir. Sir, in non-fiction, I would start with the recent book, the Tiananmen Square, which I have read. It is a good book. Yes, sir. I can also recommend Pakistan Under Siege by Madhya Afzal Sir. It is a book released in 2018 about Pakistani society, how it functions. And I can also recommend you a book called The Third Reich. So, these are all international relations books. Anything apart from this genre? Sir, I can only recall these books right now. Is it beneficial for India to join Quad? Yes, sir. There are reasons why India is going on to join Quad, sir. It is because India wants to firstly balance China within Indo-Pacific, its main interest. Secondly, Quad is also about infrastructure development. Sir, the Blue Dot Network, the CDRI which India proposed, and the Partnership for Quality Infrastructure with Japan leads. It can all function under Quad and can lead to infrastructure development in Southeast Asia, sir. Sir, also there is interest of trade because apparently 70% of the oil of the trade happens through Malacca dilemma, which falls within the larger Indo-Pacific. So, I think it would be beneficial for India, sir. Is it a military grouping or a general group? Sir, as of now, the current status, it is a general grouping, sir. Has it been official yet? Yes, sir, because the official document which the four countries proposed recently... China is also trying to make a Quad, whatever, some sort of a structure of Quad. I am sorry, sir, I cannot think of any such... What recently happened in Britsuram and Assam? Have you tracked it? Yes, sir. I just glanced through the paper just now. So, there was this dispute. Sir, the dispute is about a 165-kilometer border with both states shared, and this is apparently a colonial history, sir. Sir, Assam says that in 1993, the border was demarcated, whereas Mizoram goes on to say that no, in the 1875 border which divides Lushai Hill, that is Mizoram, and the Chacha District of Assam, that should be the official one. So, there is no consensus between both states. Can you compare between the foreign cinema style and Indian cinema style? Yes, sir. Sir, the reason why I like Indian cinema is because the music is very great, sir. So, the main contrast which I have noticed is the music. The foreign cinema basically is more about story, more about character development, which is also there in Indian cinema, but Indian cinema goes on to glorify music as the core of the movies, sir. So, this... Is that true? Yes, sir. This is my understanding of the cinema, sir. What qualities do you have to become a good civil servant? Sir, firstly, it has to be why I want to become a civil servant, as to why I want to become one. Secondly, when I have thought that, okay, I have to go for civil service, then I should be... There should be a leadership quality within me. Thirdly, I should be empathetic towards the vulnerable section. So, these are some qualities. Why are civil services? Are they needed to explain why civil service? Yes, sir. Sir, because before you are to venture into a career that goes on for 35, 40 years, you should know why you want to join civil service. So, sir, the reason why I want to join civil service is because I've always wanted to become a person where I can be beneficial for the people at the ground level as well as I can deal with the people at the top level, sir. So, sir, this is my reason for joining civil service. Really, in what sense? You just said dealing with people at the ground level. Yes, sir. To be helpful for the people at the ground level, to work for their welfare, as well as to deal at the top level, I mean at the international level, at the national level, sir. Does Indian laws provide for full freedom of expression? Sir, it provides under reasonable restrictions, sir, which are mentioned under Article 19 of the Indian Constitution, sir. Are the reasonable restrictions well-defined? Yes, sir. So, reasonable restrictions means the freedom of speech and expression should be allowed as to not hinder the public morality, the law and order, the decency, and so on, sir. What does tomorrow land? Sir, tomorrow land is an electronic dance music festival held in Belgium every year, where people from more than 100 countries come together and join the... Have you seen the movie Tomorrowland? No, sir, I have not seen the movie. The parliament is under the government. It's not functioning. You're aware of this, right? This is protest by opposition and it's constantly disrupted. Yes, sir. Are you aware of this? I'm sorry, sir, I'm not aware of this. Okay. You have political... We've talked about a lot of political thinkers. We've talked about Blackover, it's sort of Hobbes, Locke. These are all old thinkers, right?  Yes, sir. Sir, I can think of Norm Chomsky. Norm Chomsky is a US-based political thinker. He talks about a need for development of social democracy, where democracy as well as the needs for the welfare state are fulfilled. Sir, I can think of Joseph Stiglitz, sir. He writes a book about globalization as to how globalization... He's an economist, right? Yes, sir. But he's also... Political thinkers. And political thinkers. Yes, sir. I can think about Joseph Stiglitz, sir. What is the future of democracy? Sir, the future of democracy... Sir, I am not an idealist here. I'd say that democracy survives to be the best, because it guarantees freedom of speech and expression, liberty and dignity of individuals. Is democracy under threat from surveillance and AI? Sir, these can be predicted to be a threat, which can hamper the overall aspect of democracy, sir. Okay. What are some of the parliamentary bills in parliament this time in this session? I'm sorry, sir. I'll have to read from those. You have sprinting as a hobby, as a scholarship prize. Yes, sir. You've done sprinting. Yes, sir. Who are the probable winners for sprinting in the Olympics this time? Sir, I'll be... This might be a little biased, sir, but Andretti Grasse, a Canadian sprinter this time. Okay. He won the 2016 Silver one into 200 meters. Okay. And also he won a bronze into 400 meter relay. How was India's performance in track and field events? Sir, track and field events. This time we have Dati Chan, Sri Dati Chan running for 100 meter and 200 meter women sprinting. But overall, we do not have any men sprinter in 100 meter and 200 meter. Why do we perform badly in track and field events? I'm sorry, sir. Why do we perform? Why do we not have Olympic medals much in this event? Yes, sir. To quote the words by Dati Chan, I read an article where she spoke about the future of sprinting and why India has not won so many medals. So she says that apparently at the national level sprinting in 100 meter and 200 meter is not very much focused. The focus is more on 4 into 400 meter. So there are training and infrastructure issues as well, sir. These are some reasons, sir. You have debating as one of your hobby. Yes, sir. I want you to speak for 30 seconds in favor of the parliamentary with support for this project. Yes. 30 seconds against that. All right, sir. Sir, can I take our 10 seconds? Sir, shall I start? Yes, sir. In favor. Sir, this side of the house believed that central vista program is necessary. It is necessary because it is apparently the need of the R. The central government is paying approximately 1,000 crore in the rent. Secondly, there will be efficiency and coordination within ministries as it houses all the ministry in a single compartment. Thirdly, it also deals with the new structure, the infrastructure it is bringing, because the current infrastructure is not very disaster-prone or nuclear-prone. So this infrastructure deals with that. The reason why central vista shouldn't be there and I now argue in opposition of that is because a lot of money is going to get into that. And secondly, as of now, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for health investment. So the money can be right now used for that and then we can go on to invest in these structures. Okay, thank you. Good. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Good. Okay, your interview is over.


another facet of our preparedness plans and that is communications and if you you don't know it yet but by the end of my presentation I my objective is I would like all of you to get motivated enough by this to go take a test and get your ham radio license talk about that's more that's where I'd like to leave you by the end of the presentation here so in my own personal preparedness plans I like to look at about six areas we've touched on quite a few of these this morning already food water and medical hygiene I also think about shelter you know I eat my home of the wood stove the last few days I've earned some wood but I'm perfectly comfortable if the power goes out for three days or a week or all winter got three or four cords of wood there transportation think about if the grid went down and things really went bad with an EMP your car might not work anymore you might do some things to plan around that security and personal defense I encourage you to get your seal carry license learn learn learn practice practice with your weapon but this morning I want to talk about communications let's say we were sitting here in a meeting and all of a sudden all the lights went off okay no big deal we all go through power outages you probably maybe we're not here with a television nearby so you might grab your cell phone and check the weather or a news feed or something and so what happened if you look at your phone and no signal nothing might start to wonder what's going on so I would probably go out to my truck and turn on the radio see what I can pick up on a news feed there I turn my radio on nothing no stations anywhere AM FM is dead now I'm really start to wonder what's going on and so I'm probably gonna go I'm gonna say I'm done with the medium gonna go home and check on my wife or the kids or whatever and I'll get in my truck and hopefully it'll start start to head home and I look at the gas gauge and oh crap it's pretty close to empty I was gonna fill up before I came to the meeting I forgot to do that so I'm gonna run down here to Weldon spring to the QT and fill up because this might be serious and probably good to have a full tank of gas I get to QT pull up to the pump their lights are all out to walk up there try to swipe my credit card nothing works I'm like well all right maybe I can pay with cash I'll run inside nobody carries much cash anymore I'll go into their ATM inside I go in there that doesn't work either all right so maybe now a little panic is starting to set in this is the kind of scenario they could play out if we had an EMP anybody know what EMP is an electromagnetic pulse could take out the grid big sections of the grid wouldn't have to be an EMP attack it could be a big solar flare or what they call a CME coronal mass ejection I think I read a story the other day that said there's like a 10 or 11 percent chance the earth could be hit by a major CME from the Sun in the next 10 years that's pretty good size chance so and it wouldn't have to be any of those let me give you another example this happened last year out in Arizona some vandals cut some fiber optic lines and a whole area in Arizona couldn't use the internet or cell phones wouldn't work businesses couldn't process credit card transactions ATMs didn't work law enforcement databases were unavailable if you were there you might be wondering what the heck was going on at that time fortunately it only lasted a few hours they were able to find where these vandals had cut the fiber optics but it just speaks to how dependent all of us are these days on cell phones on the internet on that sort of thing and if that would all go away where would it leave you communications wise there's a few more examples some that are fairly close to home a few years ago we had a pretty good size tornado ripped through Bridgeston actually it touched down out here in New Mellon a couple other places on the way down there the folks that were impacted directly they were in trouble for quite a while Joplin had one worse than that and F5 you guys all remember that the hospital was destroyed they had a rebuild the hospital communication locally for them was very bad when that sort of thing happened cell phone towers are so overloaded you're not going to pick up your cell phone calls ham radio operators did a lot of volunteer work there hurricane Katrina same thing was probably larger more widespread than the Joplin tornado blasted longer people were living in the Superdome was not good we had Ferguson riots here look two years ago and we were wondering what might happen there fortunately nothing very significant in the way of widespread communications disruptions but there's a reason when you look at all these things that police EMS firefighters they all use radios those guys don't use cell phones because when it all goes bad those things aren't going to work every county has a group of skyworn ham radio operators that are activated during severe severe weather events there's about 30 hospitals in the metro region that have a network of ham radio operators to call on if needed yesterday I was out in st. Joe West Lake st. Louis participating in their practice drill where all these hospitals talked to one another on the radio and we have groups like Aries you know amateur radio emergency services these guys practice for emergency events all the time so how about you guys setting yourself up with the means of communication that doesn't rely on you listening to broadcast TV or radio cell phones or the internet so what are small turners if you wanted to do that communicate by radio well it starts small I think all of us probably in our lives use these little walkie-talkies I remember using them for the first time when I was a kid in grade so now they're pretty cheap Cabela's Walmart they work great but they don't have much range they come in various flavors FRS GMRS MERS each of those has a little more range but they're really pretty limited everybody remember CB's CB radio I had one back in the 70s boy I was all the rage everybody had a CB the truckers still use them and this might be a good source of information if there were a widespread disaster these guys are traveling across country they might bring information with them you could listen or talk to them on CB but what I'd like to talk about more today is amateur radio or ham radio it's been around for a long long time and as I say there are volunteer organizations that help out in disasters well you can do this from your home or from your car as well there's a lot of stuff on the screen here but basically what I want to tell you is you might ask how far how many miles can I reach with these different things well the walkie-talkies I talked about are down here FRS GMRS MERS in the best of conditions you might get two to ten miles or so out of them when the leaves are on the trees and everything else you're probably talking more like a mile or two and if you have some hills and valleys that'll cut it down CB radio if you have a real powerful one you might get 10 15 20 miles range out of that the ham radio we'll talk more about the different frequencies and bands you can locally with a little handheld in a decent antenna get perhaps 15 or 17 miles it's very good for locally around the county for a couple of counties and then if you have what we call HF which can do really long distance you can talk all over the country or even around the world it's pretty amazing a little radio sitting over there on the table I've talked to like 50 or 60 different countries here's the only technical part of the lesson today but I want to this illustrates the difference between what we call VHF very high frequency UHF ultra high frequency remember when your television had that on their channel 30 was UHF channel 2 4 5 was VHF same thing this stuff is what we call line of sight the radio can reach another radio if there's not a mountain in between you or a building in between you that's gonna block it all right and this is the stuff that works well around the county if you get your antenna up on top of your roof or the guys that have them on top of a water tower for a repeater it works very well around the metro area and we use it this group practices on HF high frequency is longer wavelength and what it does is it bounces off the atmosphere so you can bounce off the atmosphere and come back down and be talking to somebody in California or in London I've even talked to New Zealand but that's how we're able to talk to you know maybe more regionally Kansas City or Chicago or something like that short wave they're similar they're in these frequency ranges I could show you a chart if you got a shortwave radio it's a receiver only you can transmit but you can listen to these hand bands and they have broadcast stations yep same frequencies and same thing it's bouncing off the atmosphere I'll skip right past this just a moment but this is a chart shows you all the different frequencies bands that are available to hands and there are a couple of them in blue 40 and 80 meters that work great for regional communications out to maybe 500 miles or so the one in yellow 20 meters is really good for long distance if I want to talk to somebody in California or in London and then the one circled in red is 2 meters and that's the one that gets used locally with a little handheld or with a mobile unit in your truck or from your house that's what our old keepers and militia folks around here use to talk to one another so ham radio has been around for decades and decades and our guys that are in it I kind of consider ham radio nerds you know they're into it for the sake of the radio stuff what we're looking at it for here is part of our preparedness points how might we communicate with other folks if we didn't have cell phones and all that stuff and so there's a group that started up just about five years ago called Amron the American readout radio operators network they started out there in the Northwest there's a lot of preparedness folks that relocated out there but a lot of us around the country said hey you don't have to be out there and it has grown in four or five short years from you know maybe a couple of hundred people there now like two or three thousand members of this group called Amron and what I like about them is they're trying to apply this hand radio stuff to us everyday folks and how we can use it for emergency communications for us preparedness minded folks and so we've kind of borrowed this model of theirs see if I can explain this what they suggest is you know ham operators everybody doesn't need to be on long distance ham operator but if you had one or two or three in a group like us that could talk long distance and then the rest of us here locally could just talk on walkie talkies or CB or whatever we could disseminate this information locally so they have this project and it's really grown they call it the channel three project make it easy to remember if you've got a walkie talkie on FRS talk on channel three you've got a MERS walkie talkie use channel three if you're on a CB use channel three the idea is for example our group of keepers and our mission group here in Missouri we've got three or four maybe five operators now that are hams that could do this long distance stuff and we could do the heavy lifting on on long range communications figure out what's going on if we had an EMP that knocked out the grid through the whole center of the United States we could be the guys that do that and then locally we could get on what's called two meter and this is a map it's not great but this is you know St. Louis North County St. Charles County Franklin County Jeff County and these are some of our more active both keeper ham members that got their entry-level license and can talk on two meters so if I got some information I want to share the whole group on HF from California then I could get on two meters and we could share this all around a several county area here locally so and you could look at this the other way around it doesn't have to be information coming in it could be that we've had a disaster here and we want to send the information out for example let's say a new Madrid we have a big quake things go to heck here in the St. Louis area communications out I've got a son in California he's wandering hey dad are you alright or I'd be happy to help you folks if you have family and friends outside the area you're unable to reach him by cell phone can't send him an email things are gone there but we could help one another here locally which we definitely be doing if an earthquake and knocked out a lot of things could be talking with each other but we could also then get information out to your family loved ones friends elsewhere so it could be a two-way flow and then lastly you could imagine some little spider diagrams like this for each one of these folks in their very immediate vicinity just their neighbors folks down the road and you could use little walkie talkies for that that's the idea behind this and Ron channel three project is you layer ham radio long distance on top of ham radio locally on top of little walkie talkies or nerves radios put it all together and typically years ago the hams were kind of like hey we're the experts we know these guys and Ron are trying to get everybody involved and use this for emergency communications so I told you I'd like to leave you motivated to get your ham license it's not hard you don't have to be an electrical engineer to get your ham license my wife's a music therapist and she has her ham license okay my criticism of the stage is not a real good map of science but there's three levels there's a technician level then the next step up is general and the next step up is extra I would recommend everybody consider getting their technician license the test is I'll get to that in a moment but this allows you to talk on the two meter band that I've spoke of that can do local communications if you then take the second test which is a little tougher but still it's kind of they're all multiple choice and you can really just kind of memorize the stuff and when you really learn is when you get on the air so get your test and get on the air but the general license would let you talk long distance and then the extra license in my own personal opinion that's for the ham nerds and it gets you a little bit of extra band privileges but not much more beyond the general I got that book and I started studying it so how can you get your ham license take a class use a textbook or some online study guides the way I did it was there is one of these little books for tech class there's one for the general there's one for the extra the test is I think for technician like 30 multiple choice questions and they show you every single possible question might be a hundred of them but you'll see everyone that could possibly be on the test I just went through here and I highlighted the correct answer and I just started reading through here and he actually have enough photographic memory almost that you can recognize the answer anyway you go take a 30 question multiple choice test pass it pay on 15 bucks you got your ham license get on the air and practice the st. Charles ham radio club gives this test every fourth Monday of the month the st. Louis club does it down at the cliff cave library off it's down by the JB bridge every week every Tuesday night so it's easy to take the test and lastly I'll leave you with some resources and if anybody's interested I have a printed copy of this one page right here just pass this around take one if you would like there's some websites the organization for hams in the u.s. is the a or or l there's a site called q or z that lists everybody's call signs once you get your license and they have all these practice tests on there there's a some very active local ham clubs in the area st. Charles County st. Louis and Franklin and then our group of keepers of greater st. Louis so take a look at those websites that's what I had for today my objective was to try to get you thinking enough and get you motivated that you would consider go getting your ham license did I succeed anybody think it might be an interesting thing to go to sure great question how much cost to buy a good radio these little handhelds these little bell fans are what 30 bucks 40 bucks maybe these are good for local communication they're only like five watts or eight watts but if you put a good antenna like he's got curled up here on there you could talk from my house out in august to probably down to st. Charles minimum let's say 30 40 bucks another antenna like that another 25 or 30 bucks step up a little bit and get a rig like Kevin's here that's 75 watts he's got a really cool one he put together here in a box with a bigger battery so run a lot longer
