Good morning. How many of you have seen the videos recorded of each other? What were recorded? You had recorded your own presentations right? Are they shared with you now? Not yet. So I think I will be shared and you have to do a peer evaluation probably that was the idea. I just had a chance to have a glimpse at some of them and I was surprised by the range of topics. There were a lot of interesting topics picked up by people and have you seen the videos which are uploaded? Right? All of you? Many of you. Okay. Because I just thought we'll save some time on speaking it in front of you and instead of that we can do some interesting hands-on activities in the class which would be rather interesting than that. Okay. So now that people will miss out on some part of it, they must have heard it already. So we'll just go ahead and start off. So I'll be talking about presentation skills in the next couple of modules and the reason why this was included is mainly because a lot of people face the presentation part of their seminar or whatever but invariably I've seen people struggling last night in preparing the slides and like I spoke in my present that small video that typically it starts with selecting the template and then coming back to trying to map whether the report is completely covered there or not. So we are going to follow that strategy which will be useful for creating such presentations. So let's just get going. Okay. So the outline for today is mainly about presentation and various aspects of presentation which will be spread over a couple of times. Any problem? Some problem. Can you read this? What is the problem actually? Is the font problem or the color problem? Color is bad. Are the fonts okay? No, right? You can't see them. The logo is cropped. The IIT Bombay logo is not seen completely. How many people notice this part? 137 such slides. Is it going to be interesting at all? Right? So yeah, just kind of a way of showing you how bad presents really make a trip. Also, a lot of people forget about understanding what is the venue of this particular presentation which you are going to give and there are specific rules for that. So if it is a dark room and you're going to present what should be the background of screen of your slides versus it's a highly lit room like this and then what should be that? So typically the rule says that it should be white background for a brightly lit room because if you use white background for a dark lit room, it puts more pressure on the eyes of people who are watching it. So you have to really strain your eyes to see that white screen peeming on you. Okay, that part lets. So I'll be covering some part of visual communication into this because I come from the background of visual communication firstly and also it was a necessity to get that into the course. So people must be remembering this slide, right? What is a typical talk outline? How does it relate to a film story? So it is about the setup conflict and couple of climaxes till we reach the end and if you translate that to the presentation what you do typically, it will be this. So a typical talk outline will make a good story and people love to listen to stories. People don't like to listen to your presentation mainly. If it is woven in a way that it sounds like a story to them. Okay, so we are going to follow this particular methodology of planning, then executing it and then finally thinking about how to impress by covering some segments out of that. And when we say plan, we are going to use some techniques here. There are many techniques. We are going to use brainstorming and for analyzing and organizing, we are going to use something called affinity mapping, concept mapping or mind maps as we can choose whatever. At the execute stage, we are going to see if that particular presentation can be translated into an outline which is having the content in a bulleted format so that people know and then chunking part comes here where how you connect the dots and the flow is maintained here. And additional of graphics becomes the integral part in the execution part. That is the time you take decision which topics require graphic support, which can be only textual and so on and so forth. But when it comes to the impress stage, then you talk about what should be the color scheme, what should be the font, what should be the transition between the slides and all those jazzy transitions you get because it is talking about the overall appeal of the presentation. Now what is the look and feel the users will get after they see the presentation. So that is going to be the impressed part, but nevertheless the last point of practice. And I think that you can realize when you see your own videos which are recorded. So focusing on plan, today we are going to do a activity here about brainstorming. And we have the groups already in place. So we don't have to worry about that. An important thing is that this activity is the topics of the activity are related to the campus. You don't have to think outside the campus right now. Restrict yourselves to that. And these are the topics. Now what I am going to do is we have already distributed the topics amongst the 24 groups. So there are six topics. Each group, every seventh group actually gets the same topic. And I think this is the sitting position you already are aware about. You are sitting in that same position. And this will be the topic distribution. So these are the groups which will get the particular topics. Now what I request is there are these A3 papers which will be given up to you and some postage stickers. What you have to do is you have to start, you have seen the brainstorming video, right? How many have seen the brainstorming video? Not you. Okay. Not many of you actually. Okay. So on that topic, just pass on the postage stickers to your group members, some of them, and ask them to write on that one single idea about whatever the topic is given to you. Okay. So start writing whatever comes to your mind when you look at that subject. Like I said, don't be judgmental. Just drop in. Please use bold handwriting as much as possible. We have to photograph that later on. Whatever you have written there. Okay. Remember to write only one concept on one paper. There is no space at all anyway. You can't write many more than that. Ideally, avoid writing sentences, right? Like maybe two, three words, probably. It's okay to write longer sentence, but it just hello. So don't worry about organizing at this stage. You don't have to think about what comes under what. Is this the first topic and below that. No such organization is required at this stage. Just put them. You don't have to worry about whether they are in straight line or whatever, whatever. Just keep writing there. Secondly, don't argue with anybody saying, okay, I want this topic in this. So don't argue at this stage. We'll talk about it later on. I'll give you enough time to argue, but not not now. If somebody has a query about that topic name itself, then they can tell me I can just come and sort that particular confusion out. Okay, so here is a question. There's a sentence says internet and network connectivity. So whether you have to talk about advantage of that or problems with that or types of that. So right now, everything is allowed. So you can somebody can just talk about problems. Somebody can talk about advantages. Somebody can talk about what are available on campus and what should be available on campus kind of thing. Everyone can take their own view point and start writing. That's okay. That's the precise idea that if you have a group of five people, you can distribute those silos. Okay, I'll talk about these parts. And don't be like you can be open to others who contribute to that idea also keep going. Okay, what is this? Okay, so we have a group here to a to their topic was movement and navigation and they have around 20 I suppose. Okay, so what I want is you should can you get a mic for that. So you should now talk about whatever you have written. And then which are the other groups who have movement and navigation as their topic? One there. Yeah. There should be four. Okay, so after that, you guys can tell what is additional that you have written there. Okay, after you listen to them. So we mostly thought about whatever kept our minds first. So there are topics like in steam app buses, skateboards, bicycle renting. What is the shortest path to our class or some any other place in the Institute? How can we solve our traffic problems? Uh, bicycle parking. Where is my class? Where am I? Location was always crowded. Tumtums. Yes. Okay. All such things. Okay. So how many groups of this movement and navigation had tumtum as the as the integral problems with tumtum as the integral part of their post it's there. You had tumtum there, you, you never thought of it right now. Okay, how about you? You have tumtum in this. Okay. Okay, so what are the additional things than what they said? Steam app is their transportation, path direction, well maintained vehicles of. Okay. Automatic parking system. Automatic parking systems. Okay. That is new for from that. Okay. Okay. Well maintained for path. Okay. That animals call up the park or do something. Okay. Anything which, which both this, pardon me. Traffic management. Traffic management. Okay. Anything that these two groups have not covered? Uh, the Tralathon, like the marathon and the Tralathon. Okay. Let us. The different routes to reach the destination that was already. Okay. The, the objective here is let's take some more, uh, another group probably. So we have internet and network connectivity here. So what are the topics you have listed down? Okay. So, um, we got here that, uh, I mean, the internet connectivity here is pretty, I mean, pretty much high speed. So, uh, but those some sites are still blocked. Um, we have just talk about it. HD videos. It's free. I have a level in throughout campus. Wi-Fi. We have Wi-Fi NFL classrooms. Okay. Um, we have wired wireless things. Less connectivity outside buildings. Okay. Date. Portable Wi-Fi. Uh, I mean, we can move towards that. It's helpful in academic and learning process. Uh, but there is, there are still misuse of internet and, uh, they are not available in some hostels. Okay. So which is the other group which has this topic? Okay. So what is different than what these people have said? So okay. They, they acknowledge the point that more or less the availability of internet and connectivity is quite good. So you have listed down most of the points which are present there and then some way forward like 2G, 3G, 4G, how it can come and portable, this thing. Anything you want to add to what the list says? We've talked about the proxy and, uh, uh, there is a point about the computer center which manages all of this. And there is also the issue of, uh, the time they take to resolve issues if they occur. Okay. So, uh, after the problem is posted, the time it takes to resolve that, that should be lesser. Okay. Anybody adds to that list of clips? Maybe that differs from hostel to hostel probably. So there can be a difference of opinion. The, the point here is that if you can see that and that will be more evident later, that because we have put our brains together, you could come up with so many different aspects of the same problem, which otherwise when you gave those individual presentations of five minutes, you talk about certain one problem at that time. But the moment you have this brainstorming, you suddenly get a range of, uh, topics coming up in front of you. And these topics probably, so now is the time when you can argue about it. And now you have to keep them in a proper structure. Now how to get the structure part is, uh, something we can do. So for structure, let us do another activity. So these are, uh, set of, uh, alphabets to be remembered. Right? So what are the techniques by which you can memorize these alphabets? So think about it and, uh, maybe somewhere you can, uh, you can give yourself like one minute to, to think of ideas of how to memorize this set of alphabets. You can write it down on a piece of paper somewhere. Here is the main question asked by somebody. Do we have to remember just the alphabets or also the order? Okay, so I take out the tough part of it. So order is not important. You have to just give me the alphabets. Now how to do that? Or anybody actually, if you have an idea, do you have a plan to memorize that? Yeah? You can make? Yeah. So you say make words out of that. Anybody agrees to that? Anybody has another option to that? Okay. So he says, pick the initial letter of the words which are created using these words, these alphabets and then form a story of the words which are coming up. Okay. So let's try that. Anybody have any other idea? Yeah, couple of them. Yeah, same thing, right? So take, make words and make a meaningful sentence order. Oh, the word should be, uh, okay. So example, give me an example for this. Try constructing something. He's saying amount of words also has to reflect in that amount of alphabets have to reflect in the word you have created. Right? Okay. We can map each and every alphabet to natural numbers by remembering some pictures or. Okay, so a is one and b is two and then similarly. Okay. So there are multiple correct answers to this problem and all of them will be possible. So let's see one after another. So you can, you can say how many ease are there and how many days are there and just remember that for probably, but that's not very good. Then like somebody said, you can create some words out of it, uh, and try to remember them, but it will be difficult to remember. Maybe such words and especially, uh, if they're not connected to each other. So structure or, uh, presentation, whenever you are kind of bring up the structure, it is very important to understand what is the concept, context of what you're going to present. So it, it will only appeal to those who are in that particular context. Otherwise it will go haywire. So even if I tell you to remember, like remember this, uh, set of words, it's very difficult because it's coincidence reemerging and spent. Or even if I arrange it like this, it's very difficult to remember this. But context, uh, which is very nearer to your mind. If I create something in that, probably it will not be very difficult for you to remember. So if I just say that it is computer science and engineering, probably you don't have to even worry about counting how many words of alphabets were there. And, uh, okay. So thanks to this, uh, anagram server. It's a very interesting website. Uh, you can just create some in, uh, interesting anagrams out of it. The point here is that the moment you have the context in place, you can very easily associate with that. And presentation, most of the times lack that aspect. So it's not contextual.  You are very much into the context what you want to present, but how to get the other people into the context, what you are trying to say is the most important point. And that's where, yeah, where, where, uh, the L is missing, right? I think that was, I think that was capital I, which was, uh, wrongly typed by me. There are how many eyes here? One, two, three. Yeah, there are three eyes here, but in the top order, there are only two. In, in, in the other anagrams, you mean to say? Ah, there are two, where are two T's there? There is only one T on the top. Ha, ha, there it is. Okay. And okay, there is only one D there. Okay. The point here is that, uh, if you put that context right, then you will get into the structure quite easily. So now is the time to, to start organizing those place, uh, the posted papers you have put up on that, uh, A3 paper in a form where it will make sense to you. So now try to create headings out of, uh, whatever you have. If you have not written a heading, you create a heading and write another post it on top of it and then organize the other papers below that. So that is how you have to, uh, organize them. This will be, uh, the activity for next 15 minutes or so. So just try to write them. Okay. I can see that people are having some columns ready and there are some, uh, post-its under column, but there are some people who have like long list of post-its in one column and only two of them in another. So when you have a long list of post-its in one, try to see if there are sub columns available there. So try to split it so that the balance is achieved. Okay. I can also see people getting confused between what is the heading and what is, what is lying behind that. So, uh, typically give broader heading. For example, we had a group of, uh, food wastage here and, uh, they just forgot that they have to talk about campus. So they just went ahead and said malnourishment in India is a big problem all that. That is not the topic here. So restrict yourself to campus problems right now. We are not talking about India problems. And secondly, uh, a broad outline could be that what are advantages, disadvantages, what are the problems, how can they be overcome. So these kind of global headings will help you in categorizing what you have written there. So try to just keep them into very simpler, uh, categories right now. Later on we can think about subdividing them. Okay, we have here one about internet connectivity and they have just three topics. So what are the positives, what are the negatives and what are the solutions, solutions for the negatives. Right. So is there a mapping between what are the negatives and corresponding solutions to it? Can you, can you connect them? So when you have two related terms, like they had a term called negatives of the Wi-Fi or any problems on network problems on campus and they had some list of solutions. That time you have to connect the association between what is the problem, what is the corresponding solution. And see if you can draw a line between those, draw a line connecting those, sorry. Okay, so we can continue with this but I had written this but now I can see that it's not possible to read after you click a photograph of that. So ideally you can, uh, you can take this with you uh, and then we have to actually convert that to something which is readable for all. So can you see these two images and can you spot some differences? So one is a mind map, one is a concept map that I think most of you know by now but the one on the left is a mind map and the one on the right is a concept map. Can you see the visual difference in that? Typically mind map allows you to add various colors, images and it's mostly hand drawn. Nowadays with software you can use a software to do that. But typically it started off by doodling during the lecture or during a talk or and then just started jotting down certain things. Another important thing which is which is most useful is to label the linkage. So that's why you can make sense out of it. So earlier mind maps used to be just drawn and connected somehow but now with the linkages it is quite clear. So I'm going to just talk about the broad difference between the concept maps and the mind maps but mainly the the task is to convert these presentations to either of them and that is up to you how to do that. But the connector lines between the keywords is a difference differential for the concept map and another important differential which you could see visually there was that mind map typically starts from the center and then just goes omnidirectional in any way and concept map typically comes down in a tree structure but not necessarily every time but it is typically done like that because you have this. Another thing is that so causes topic B so A and B connected with the the label connector is typically sentence is used how it has caused to this. So that becomes easy reading for anybody to even if you transfer a concept map to somebody else they can again rebuild the same story. So this is in tune with what Professor Fatak was saying. So if I write a book if I write a report if I create a presentation and without me speaking here if I just pass it on to somebody are you able to create the same structure what I have in my mind even if you read it separately without talking to me. So that will happen only when these associations are established in a manner that are understandable to anybody and everybody in that audience. So that is where the challenge lies. So in contrast mind maps are more flexible and it's like I said starts mostly with the doodling of water concepts are being gathered at that time and it will probably go in from the center to various directions. So that is how mind map will typically be. So you can continue with the same topic the group continues having the same topic. Some people have gone tangential to the thing going to India or something. So bring it down to campus firstly. Secondly I have seen that people have not thought beyond the given sentence. So prod for more questions like I had these buildings and infrastructure group. Anybody has this group buildings and infrastructure. Okay. So what were the typical headings of your this thing. There was one group which actually listed all the buildings on the campus. Right. There were 15 20 stickers on that page which had names of all the buildings because it says buildings and infrastructure. So they were correct in their way. Probably they didn't listen to me when I was talking about you can you can ask each other the questions about what are the problems what are the advantages what are the things when the new infrastructure has been built up and so on and so forth. So keep keep going in in various directions. Typically the the topics would be can be interpreted in many ways and that's what is happening. That's why the four groups will add on to the flavor because everybody will bring their own perspective in that. The idea is that use any tool online for mind mapping. If you don't want to do a digital mind map there are many tools actually for mind mapping and also for concept mapping which is Google for it you'll get many of them. I don't want to recommend specific things. If you are okay of creating a mind map using just pen and paper go ahead doesn't matter scan it and upload it just see to it that it is readable and shareable so that people also can get it and so that I am going to post a link where you can put these things right. So I hope to see those concept maps or mind maps on this particular given topic and those will be then uploaded. So one per group is enough. Individually you don't have to create one per group is enough so you can you can name that file with the name of the group dot jpeg that's it but we will only get 24 mind maps not more than that. If you have serious argument about this is not the ideal one then probably you can have another mind map but then you can say option A and option B for that right but ideally I want only one per group. These are some of the mind mapping tools which I have used personally free mind is good and even expand is good but you are free to choose. Think Busan is the most ideal one but it's a paid software. They gave you some little bit free options not very easy for continuing work on that because after some time it just stops of the paid service right okay. Thank you.


Yes, how are you feeling today? And where do you want to get sick? U.S. or Canada? In order to find out, we're going to talk to a Canadian, our favorite Canadian, Ken Rogers, in the British Columbia. Hi, Ken. Hello, Jay. Now, I'm looking at the Inflation Reduction Act. There's some health provisions in there. But the inflation reduction I had passed by Kamala Harris to break the tie because Republicans voted against it, all of them. And so the politicization of health, health benefits of pharma hasn't really changed in this country. It's almost as if half the country doesn't want the other half to have medical care. And as a result, our outcomes aren't so good, our health costs are really astronomical. And Americans are dying sooner than they have to. Is life better in Canada? It is lots better in that regard. In particular, our health care is universal in a sense that if you have any medically necessary procedure, that's covered, period. So if you have a heart attack, you don't pay anything. If you have, that is the individual. And ours is based on the need rather than on your ability to pay.  And so you'd have a waiting list for something like a hip replacement. But when you have universal coverage, by universal, I mean, absolutely everybody is covered and the priority is on the need, how medically necessary is that procedure. You're going to have a lot healthier society, but you're also going to have an awful lot more medical procedures. That is, if you think of in the US, when does the poor person going to get their knee replacement or hip replacement? You know, well, if they don't have insurance that covers it, they're just going to delay it or not get it. You know, and so the economy suffers because that person is less healthy. I was most surprised in Canada when they, you know, I'm old enough that I went through the many years that it took for the Canadian system to come into place. And by the way, the Canadian system is nowhere as all inclusive as some of the European countries, you know, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Holland, they all have Britain and France. They have a more inclusive universal system in Canada, like our system does not include dentistry.  But, you know, otherwise, you know, dentistry is not included. But I grew up as the laws changed and what was or was not included in the Canadian system. And ours is far from perfect. But it's sure better than the American in the sense that we do not have people go bankrupt because of a needed procedure for themselves or for a loved one. You know, the thing that surprised me most as the many years went by and the Canadian system got developed was the attitude of medical doctors. Initially, the doctors were the most opposed to the whole idea that they kind of had the idea that if you had some general national Medicare system, they were just going to be civil servants and going to have be stomped down and whatever. But actually, it's been a fantastic bonanza for the doctors. It's been a, you know, economically the best thing that ever happened to them. They have less expenses. They don't have to, you know, have any collection problems. And yet, you know, the doctors like the doctor's services are all covered as if they were medically necessary. So a hypochondriac can go into your corner medical professional, you know, every two weeks for forever and ever. And each time he goes to visit, it clicks through the meter and the doctor gets paid. You know, it's really up to the doctor to tell them to stop coming in for unnecessary things because the legislation treats it all as necessary.  But those are pretty rare. But the, you know, the doctors, you know, they don't have the same expenses that a doctor in the US has. The first side is they don't have any bad debts. Anybody comes in. There's a fee schedule. The fee schedule is really negotiated between the, let's call it the medical union. I call the union, even though in theory it's a professional organization. But it's each province negotiates for the fees for each service that somebody provides. And so they get paid in full for, you know, somebody coming through for each item. The, you know, the litigation is something that in Canada there's almost none of for malpractice that there's a federal entity that handles all of the malpractice claims. And for example, I looked at a study the other day that had over the last five years, about 215,000 people estimated to have died because of medical acts, let's call it medical errors, you know, rather than a soft pedal of malpractice. But enough of an error that somebody died and that in the United States would have instantly brought on mega litigation. Well, of those, only 2% of them actually ended up in any litigation. Of those, a little over two thirds of those, that teeny percentage were kicked out by the courts, like just dismissed fairly quickly, or the applicant abandoned it. Well, in the end, you really only had 2.5% of the claims that proceeded. You know, there was the small percentage that even got to a lawsuit. And then you had only 2.5% of those that ended up in damages. And the average damages for over a whole five year period, including, you know, if there were any big numbers in comes in the average, was a little over $100,000. So that you really had, you know, you know, five years for the whole country, you know, which has a population about the same as California, you know, you only had about $2 million of of money paid out. Now, they really don't have any that I could see where there's punitive damage. You know, the the and part of it is really you get a correlation of interest between the government and the medical profession. If the government has to tax to get the money to pay for the medical, they don't want to pay more because of a bunch of legal action. And they're the ones that create the legislation. So you really have, you know, a medical doctor, for example, will pay a fee for it's a pretty small fee compared to American insurance cost, you know, for medical malpractice or whatever, just so you keep it on the plate. Well, you know, in Canada's biggest province, Ontario, I think that Ontario pays 85% of the fee, even, you know, it's like essentially nothing. So that the the cost of all of the medical in Canada is about two thirds of what it is per capita or as a percentage of GDP compared to the U.S. And yet, we got a bigger a better bang total. I mean, your economy is better if you have the, you know, bottom, you know, one third of the people getting much, much better health care, or you know, whoever the people are that portion of the people that can't afford care if it was on a pay, pay it to yourself basis. Well, you think outcomes are better if you're going to get sick. I mean, forgetting about the economics for a moment, where would you rather be sick? Well, if I was very wealthy, and I could afford to go to the Mayo Clinic, I would rather get sick in the United States. But if I were any ordinary citizen, I would sure prefer it in Canada. The, you know, the quality of the average, you know, physician is essentially the same. The technology being used is the same. It's just in Canada, the priority is need in the U.S., the priority for who gets served first is who puts the money on the table first, or the most money. What about drugs? You know, pharma is huge global industry, and sometimes the price bears virtually no relationship to the cost of manufacture, or even the cost of R&D. How it has the cost of drugs, the availability of drugs, pharmaceuticals in Canada? Well, it's, let me split it down. If you go into a hospital and you have some, you know, medically necessary procedure, that's the terminology. And you've got some weird disease like Guillambari, I don't know if you've ever heard of it. Yeah. You know, but it's one that if it's not caught, the result is, it starts to look like a polio. Anyhow, the medical method to solve that is really to take thousands of blood donations and you create a plasma that's a mixture of a large number of blood donations, and you have a cocktail of that and a bunch of pharmaceuticals, and that that cures it. Now, I have a very close relative that had that disease, which is why I at least have heard of it. And it was all in the hospital and 100% of it was paid for. It cost nothing whatsoever. You know, the drugs included. Or my wife, who died of cancer about five years ago, but went through a fair amount of chemotherapy and chemo is essentially a whole bunch of drugs that was 100% paid for by the Canadian system. You know, she and I didn't have to pay anything for those drugs. Now, if I go to my normal GP or general practitioner, and he suggests I should take Tylenol threes for something, he may give me a prescription and I go to the corner drugstore and I have to pay the drugstore something for that. However, that drugstore has bought it under the Canadian pharmacare type of system. And so that the drugstore didn't pay Pfizer or Merck or Rabbit or any of the big pharma companies the full price for that that the US pays. You know, they've negotiated a price and then usually each provincial government even subsidizes those. And so you really don't have much like drugs that like there are few things not included in the Canadian system. You know, I mentioned dentistry.  But drugs is one of the items. Well, everybody can also get in Canada supplementary insurance. And because the costs of the drugs at the drugstore have been subsidized by the governments, firstly by negotiating prices for everybody. You know, buying in bulk, that then this insurance for somebody is a very nominal cost compared to US prices. Yeah, it reminds me of the movie SICKO, which was a kind of a story of the firefighters and first line defense people who helped after 9-11. And one of the elements of the movie was these people were taking very expensive drugs to deal with the medical issues that arose out of their work at the site of 9-11. And they wound up making fun of that by going into Cuba. And the very same firemen were in Cuba buying the very same drug that cost a fortune in the United States. And it cost pennies, literally pennies in Cuba. Same drug, same manufacturer. And you really wonder how that disparity could exist. And by the way, the Inflation Reduction Act that just passed in the Senate in a way it's action in the House, I think. This is hot news. It passed only because Kamala Harris broke the tie. The pharmaceutical industry was kicking and screaming about the provision that would allow negotiation of drug prices like in Canada, like Canada has had for years. But in the United States drugs are so much more expensive because there hasn't been any such ability for the government or any of the government agencies involved in health to negotiate the cost of the drugs. And now there's going to be some negotiation possible. But there are caps. There are various caps. And it's an imperfect solution. And it's not nearly as good as what you describe in Canada. And I find it remarkable even now when we recognize that people are dying for the lack of insulin, for example. Still, the pharmaceutical industry fights like hell to stop any kind of relief for them. And these caps are really a thorn in the side of anyone who cannot afford to buy the drug, doesn't have insurance and the like. Well, you mentioned Cuba. And as a Canadian, we don't consider Cuba to be so bad compared to the attitude of the United States. And Cuba, interestingly, has much better healthcare system than the United States in regards to if you got sick in Cuba, their coverage is actually better than the Canadian coverage and the quality of their medical people is right up to world top world standard. Even though, you know, it's a really, really a poor country because of the American sanctions, just squeeze them to death.  I was very impressed with the medical coverage and quality of care in Cuba. Yeah, Cuba sends doctors, medical professionals to other places in Latin America to help them. It actually exports its expertise. So you got to give them credit. Anyway, diabetes, big problem. And you know, there's so much in the media about people who cannot afford the insulin and don't have insurance and they wind up dying. They wind up dying in this country for the lack of insulin. Well, Bernie Sanders has been beating the insulin drum in particular, because it's such a blatant one. Yeah.   I was going to ask you about that. So if I'm an American and I want to get cheaper, much cheaper insulin, I can just go across the border. I can, I guess I can buy at any number of places in Canada and come back with it, right? Yes. Well, now I'm not sure what American customs have, you know, what, you know, what they would call an illegal importer or anything, but I don't think so because I mean, my knowledge of that cross border stuff in a lot of ways was, you know, listening to Bernie Sanders when he's on national TV saying his neighbors are crossing the border with the insulin. I don't think he would be saying that if it was an illegal activity.  But what I just want to confirm is that when you pay your bills as a Canadian citizen or resident, when you pay your bills on the first of the month, you have to send a check to the National Health Service or is it zero pay, zero bills, no cost whatsoever to get the basic, you know, health care that people have in Canada? And Canada has 10 provinces and each province administers the health care in their province. The federal government provides a huge portion of the financing. It's much like the US, the federal authority has all the taxing power. The cities have the most responsibility in the lease taxing power and the provinces or the states in the US case are in the middle as they don't, you know, they have lots of responsibility, but they don't have enough money to pay for it. They need to get on bended knee to get the feds to help. So, you know, that's really where we sit. So, do you have to pay anything? In some provinces, they have had a monthly amount you'd pay for your health care. I used to live in, you know, two different provinces which had a monthly amount.  But the amount was pretty small. It was like a hundred bucks a month. Now, that has generally been eliminated, you know, that I don't know of any province now that charges a monthly fee. Of any kind. You're right. Right. The other thing you mentioned that I think we had to spend a moment dwelling on is the economics. You're a student of business and economics, so you can certainly appreciate that a person who is sick or worse bankrupt because he's sick or she or somebody in the family is bankrupt is not going to be as productive as if he or she were well. And so when you take that on a macro level, these things we've been talking about have a huge effect. Am I right on the national economy of the country involved? Can you talk about it? Yeah, I would even say it's a little more than the way you described it because there's a difference of the worry.  And I'm a great believer that society gets their leaders and their great producing or productive people from a wide swath of the population. If you you just cannot rely on the sons and daughters of the really, really wealthy, you know, most second generation wealthy people are spoiled kids and no good for anything. You know, the kid that came from the wrong side of the tracks and the ghetto that scraped and finally made it to a college is probably going to be an awful lot more productive. Well, if you look after the health of the bottom rung of people, you know, their kids are going to help you a lot more than then if they were just left to in smaller, you know, our Canadian system has an unusual population with as it comes with natural health problems almost.  And a lot of them live in very remote places. I mean, where there's no roads and no airports and know this and know that. And even though they're they're totally covered by the federal system, the feds let them down a lot. You know, but when we have a few of those indigenous people living, let's say in the area that I live in Canada, there's a called the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. And there's a couple of native tribes there where those kids have or those natives have gone through a couple of generations of full health care. And boy, are they productive. I mean, they had this society where in places where they're so remote, or you know, even the the Eskimos are Inuit that in the far north that don't have a couple generations of decent health care that these natives from the Okanagan are just fantastically productive and add to society in great ways. You know, they have wineries. They have, you know, all kinds of neat businesses that they are in and do really, really well at. Yeah, well, you know, it's so interesting to compare that to the way our federal United States federal government is working these days.  There's a reluctance to, you know, provide anything to help poor people be less poor. This thing about Roe v. Wade is very troubling because it means there will be children born who the community doesn't care about to people who don't have the money to go to another state or country for an abortion. And they're going to, you know, wind up being poorer still. And if they're sick and they need drugs and they don't have insurance, I mean, there was a tweet this morning about how the price of insulin in Canada is $12 for, I guess, for a month's supply or there thereabouts in the U.S. It's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. If you don't have insurance, you have to pull money out of your wallet. So the bottom line is that these people, A, will be poorer, you know, because of the failure of the safety net, because the failure of a universal health system, because of the failure of drugs at reasonable prices. And as a result, they will not be productive, not as much as the Inuits or the other indigenous people in your neck of the woods. And also be, you know, they will, they will be a drag on everyone else. It costs much more. You have to get your health care at an emergency room every time, which is what happens in this country. It's always the emergency room. And so what you have is a completely dis-economic experience. It's almost as if the people in Congress wanted to hurt the poor people. It's almost as if the people in the Supreme Court wanted to have unwanted babies in this country who will make it even more difficult for the poor people. And the net effect for the lack of universal health care, universal drug coverages is absolutely a damaging, if not a profoundly damaging blow to the economy of this country. We may not see it yet, but it is coming. Don't you agree? Well, I agree. And while you were giving that thought, made me think of perhaps the best example in the world of treating your entire population as being the key to your economy is Singapore. Singapore is a small place. One city might have six million people stuffed in it, or it's the size of Boston or San Francisco or Philadelphia or Dallas kind of thing. But nevertheless, they had no natural resources. They had nothing going for them. The political decision was the only thing we have is people. So why don't we educate them, create a healthy environment? And they stood on their head to move everybody along. Part of the reason they now have six million is everybody that lived with several hundred miles away would try to get to go to Singapore and see if they can join in. But it's really the second generation and third generation people that have made it to a standard of living that's far better than the US right now. Yeah. Oh, all true. They're so smart. But it's not rocket science. This country could do those kinds of things. It's just that the people who are running the country just can't seem to find their way. And one thing you and I have talked about this is if I'm really dissatisfied with the United States, if Trump is ever or is acolytes are ever elected, presidents occupy the Oval Office and do the kinds of things they were teasing us with, teasing themselves with in his first term, you know, it's going to be much worse for the average citizen, not just the people who are disadvantaged economically or health care wise. Everybody is going to suffer in one way or another. And so, you know, the question is, suppose I cross the border, you know, in the state of Washington over to British Columbia, and I say I present myself and I want to have the benefit of the Canadian health care system. I'll be there. I'll bring my backpack and I'll sign any papers you want. Can I do that? Not the first day you arrive, but it's a fairly short period of time that you need to be a citizen. I, you know, I'm not sure of the immigration status, but for Americans, you know, much like somebody who's from Australia or United Kingdom or New Zealand, you know, they come to Canada often and work here and have all the coverage.  No, that's really good. And so, gee, that's very appealing to be able to do that. And as you mentioned earlier, I can always get kind of a supplemental policy to cover me for the gaps while I'm waiting, am I right? Oh, you'd always get service.  Like some of the provinces are really careful to not allow physicians to do extra billing, you know, so extra billing kind of highlights, you know, one of the problems with universal health care is that the rich guy gets annoyed that he wants a hip replacement and he wants to go to the front of the line, you know, and he can lay down a lot of money.  Well, in Canada, that's not legal. You can't jump the queue. You know, the universal coverage, it's kind of like for a medically necessary procedure or service based on need, not ability to pay. So the guy with the most need goes first. That's fair. That's totally equitable. It's fair and reasonable, but you want to jump the line anyway. But then you have the idea of let's get down to constitutional rights and say, pretend I'm the rich guy, which unfortunately I'm not, but anyhow that I want to have my hip replacement and it's really annoying me and I'm hobbling and so that I could give a constitutional argument that my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness or whatever the phrases are in the constitution, you know, that's suffering badly and that, you know, this healthcare system is preventing me from paying money to get it fixed and that's unconstitutional. You're depriving me of a right. Well, those cases, they've actually had some of those cases in Canada and they've booted them out.  That is unreasonable, but it does not go, it doesn't pass the public goods or what's in the public good test. That is, if you do that, it damages the system and the system doesn't work. And so goodbye. That's a wonderful result, Ken. That's so reasonable and rational and equitable. In any event, you know, we're out of time and I just want to thank you for this discussion. It's helpful and it's helpful to understand where the U.S. is and where it isn't and we have to knock our heads now wondering why it isn't and why this country can't seem to take care of its citizens and doesn't want to. It doesn't want to give them options. Even the Obama Affordable Care Act is so constrained and limited that we have to work so hard against so many lobbyists to achieve public health in this country. It's not a good sign and if I don't go to Canada, I'll take a look at the U.K. Maybe you can look with me. Check out Europe. Anyway, thank you, Ken. It's great to talk to you, Will. One last bit is politically.  The push is to have more, better coverage, not less. And there is nobody like medical doctors. Like there are really rare, rare occasions where you've got people that would politically vote for any reduction in anything to do with the health care. So I can't see why people don't really push it for American political gain. Yeah, absolutely. It's a great platform point for anybody running for office as it has been, but it doesn't seem to get over the Rubicon that well. Anyway, we'll see what happens with the implementation of the changes in the Inflation Reduction Act. It remains to be seen how effective that will be and remains to be seen what we're going to talk about two weeks from now. Maybe we should talk about retirement systems in the U.S. versus Canada. There's a lot there too. Ken Rogers? Well, you keep picking on where the U.S. has no safety net and we got lots. Okay, that's the subject two weeks from now. It's the comparative retirement systems between Canada and the U.S. With Dr. Ken Rogers. Thank you so much, Ken. Bye for now. Aloha.

So, my beautiful people, I am back with another Dying Light 2 video and guys, I finally solved how you do the Dancing Zombie Easter Egg. Now, I was sent numerous videos of people doing this Easter Egg and it just never, ever worked for me. I mean, I spent hours upon a one night trying to get this to work and it just did not work for me. It was driving me round the bend paper. But today, for those who are in the same boat as me, who are having the same issue, because this does reward.  Just this, this does give you a blueprint, a secret blueprint, which you do want to get your hands on. So, it's something you do want to do. And again, who's having issues trying to do this, like I was, hopefully today, with the way I resolved it, it should work for you. How's it going, guys? My name's D.P. Jen. If you do enjoy the video, leaving a like really helps. And if you like what you're seeing, want to see more, be sure to subscribe. Okay, so firstly, quickly, I'm going to show you the blueprint is a football. You can craft these football people and you can kick it. It takes a lot of crafting. It takes 369 scrap, but yeah. I actually crafted two because I thought my first one was bogged out because it wouldn't let me equip it. Now, if you have the issue where you can't put the ball in, normally, well, for me, it just said drop. It didn't say equip, it just said drop. My problem was it was my coin. My coin, for some reason, was stopping me from equipping the ball. So I had to drop my coin first, then I could have equipped the ball, and now it's fine. I picked the coin back up and I can equip it. So I'll be putting that in there. I can then just drop the ball. No, my bad. Let's try that again. So if I just do that, voila, football, you can kick. Simple as that, people. Can you pick it back up? I hope you can because I've spared a lot of scrap for that. And I can't. Well, I've got two balls here now. Okay, so like I said, I tried this for hours. It would not work for the life of me. I tried absolutely everything you can imagine because I'm seeing videos of people's guys and I'm like, they ain't talking in it. They're saying leave the area and come back.  It don't work. What am I doing wrong? So I tried this and it worked. I pulled up my map. Well, I first initially come here. I initially come here and my ball was there and the ball can be in multiple positions from people, but mine was right there in that spot. Now, when you know you're doing this right, the ball actually changes position.  Keep that in mind. If the ball is in the same position for you, that's a good chance it's not working. And you've got to leave the area and come back after every single time you kick the ball in between the posts. So one goal, leave the area and come back. And when I say leave the area, people, I mean score your goal. This is exactly what I was doing. Score your goal. Make sure it went between the posts. I was jumping up on top of this building just like so. Try not to poison myself. Well, yeah. Jumping up here. Then guys, I was fast travelling out of the Trinity area. So I was fast travelling to this right here. If you haven't unlocked this metro station, definitely unlock it wherever that just went. Yeah. The main terminal station. Fast travel to there. Then I'd run all the way back after every single individual goal. So the first three times you do this guys, keep an eye, if it don't work for the first three times, it's not going to work for you. But the first three times you do it, so you score one goal, go at the area, come back, score another goal, go at the area, come back, score another goal. You'll notice as you see on screen now, the crossbar or you'll see Fondo around it. That's when you know it's working. And again, guys, leave the area via fast travelling to where I said, and run back. It's the only way it worked for me. And you have to do it nine times in total. So score nine goals individually, leave the area and come back. And the third one you do, you'll get the bar light up on the sixth one, you'll get a sword drop in place here, which I will show you now, which I don't think is anything special people. This one here, a shocker, a longsword, pretty poor. And on the ninth one, you'll get a Zama that spawns in, which you'll see in a second, who dances for a bit and then tries to kill you. So take him out as soon as you take him out, can loot his body, obviously. But then this box here will spawn. Pick it up. And there you go, guys, you are good to go. And that is basically it. So like I said, I show you one demonstration of me kicking the eighth ball in, fast travelling out, running all the way back, doing it again. Notice again, the ball was in different positions every time I did this. And then you've got the Zama to spawn in. And that's what you've got, do you guys. So again, come here. Keep the ball into the goal. fast travel out of the area, out of the fence area. Run all the way back, score your second goal. Fast travel out of the area. Run the right way back, score third goal, bar should light up. Then fast travel out of the area, run back score another goal. That'd be the fourth goal. Fast travel out the area. Run all the way back, score your fifth goal. Again, fast travel out area, run all the way back, that will be 6th goal and then the sword will spawn, again fast travel out of the area, run all the way back, score your 7th goal, fast travel out of the area, run all the way back, score your 8th goal, fast travel out of the area, run all the way back, score your 9th goal, big old day to do, that was just day we're spawning, you do a little chuckle shuffle for you, kill him, box spawns, you're good to go, you got the blueprint and I hope this helps people, I'll leave now to watch exactly what I did on my last run and hopefully it helps you out, thanks for always stopping by, drop a like and I'll see you on that next one


We source like five different kinds of chili because we have a chili from Thailand. We have two types of chili from China. We have a type of chili from Korea. And that's just like the way that we approach things is like the flavors need to be spot on or at least they need to be really made with that intention and that care. But then on the other side of that is it just makes things more complex. And you know, if something falls through it's not like we can just pull any chili from wherever and substitute it, right? Like that's usually kind of what causes some of the stock outs or like just supply chain delays and stuff from COVID.  Because first of all, to import a, let's say container to let's say Vancouver where I live it used to be like a three, $4,000. Now $12,000 times three times four. And on top of that logistical timelines, three, four months.

Like, I never got paid from the label. At all. At all. It's like people that was on my songs that ain't even as big a artist as me that got something from the label. So I never got anything from the label, right? I even had to pay out my contract, right? Pay them to just let clear me from this thing totally. Get on Boss Talk 101. Tell me about a time in the music industry that you've dealt with, because there's so many times people deal with, and not even when the music industry just happened, I would say any time you're dealing with money and entertainment industry, I would say, where you did deals, because I was on Instagram the other day and I was watching some comedians talk about going to perform different places. And you know, they get half of their money upfront, but when you get there, they don't wanna get paid the other half and stuff like that. I'm sure a lot of that happened in the music industry as well, where sometimes they pay you half or sometimes they don't even pay you at all when you did all your work and you're supposed to get you just due. How many times does that happen to you and then how do you deal with it? Well, it's happened to me a few times, like I never got paid from the label. At all? At all. It's like people that was on my songs that ain't even as big an artist as me that got something from the label. So I never got anything from the label, right? I even had to pay out my contract, right? Pay them to just let clear me from this thing totally. But if you're not getting paid, wouldn't that be a breach of your contract where you can walk away anyway? I'm still to this day, lawyer team trying to get the best source to get back what's mine. Wow, so the masters and all that stuff. I mean, the label was basically crumbled, the albums were sold to off to some other, you know what I'm saying? Industrial era. Explain to me South Circle, the makeup of South Circle. It was an artist that was at Suave House already. When I came, I was so hungry and so extreme they had to rise me up to the, cause it was a roster. Yeah. So of course when the new come in, he at the bottom of the roster. I was too hungry for that. Here comes the ball. It's a new day.  So in order to move me up the roster, they said, well, let's just join him with a guy that's already in the roster. Yeah. So South Circle is that. So as they put this group together, I see they collabed it. And I guess their plot was to collab it with MJGN8 ball.  Nine, 17 times. Like rock and roll, ain't no joke. You know, when you guys did collab. We didn't really know what it was really gonna turn out to be until we did it and start seeing the effects of it. I'm creeping around the back way, keeping the scenery, because these n****s can't be seeing me. Anywhere you go. So it's just the fact of, you know, I just love the music. She don't really know the music like me, but I love the music. I love the history of it. So when I look at, you know, South Circle and I look at Mr. Mike, I look at eight ball. I look at the down, you know, just the downside movement. You remember when the downside them tapes was out. You know what I mean? All this stuff, man, when we didn't, I was locked on to the South when it was in the West Coast was doing their thing at the time. You know what I mean? So I still remain loyal to what we had going. You know what I'm saying? Whether it was ghetto boys, even though the ghetto boys seem to kind of more, you know, universal or whatever you want to call it. But eight ball and it was just eight ball, MJG, South Circle, Mr. Mike, you, Mr. Mike, but then the other big Mike, you know, all of these different scenarios was something that I valued. And I'm going to be honest with you, that's a whole legacy and a legend that don't get talked about enough for me. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one.


Well, I didn't expect that one. So yesterday we talked about an interview that Charlie Shibida, a representative of Nintendo had with VentureBeat. And that dealt with a totally different topic I had to do with crossplay and Nintendo being surprisingly progressive. In fact, you know, check out that video above if you're curious. Today, as I was combing through that interview again just to find out if there was anything interesting besides that, because it's a rather long interview. There was this one part that came up that really has me excited. So I'm just going to get right into it. What is it? It says GamesBeat, which is VentureBeat's little name for their gaming section, says, for the rest of the year, what's the big message? Obviously, Mario. But is there anything else? Charlie goes on to answer that. If you want to be able to play games and not have a dry spell between any of the big launches, we think Nintendo Switch is a good place to be. We have a nice drumbeat of first and third party. You'll never have to wait long. Just as you get through a game and you're starting to put your head up, put the periscope out to see what else is out there, hopefully we'll have something right there for you. We've announced a nice lineup through this year. And next year, we have some big games coming in Metroid Prime 4 2018 will be based around Metroid Kirby, Yoshi, and the new Pokemon game that has been announced. We feel good about this lineup for this year and beyond. That wow. So we knew Kirby, Yoshi looked fantastic. They're going to come next year. I wouldn't consider those big titles in the sense that they're going to drum up a lot of hype with their quality titles, you know, just like Kirby and Yoshi titles typically always are. You know, Epic Yarn and Woolly World. These games are high quality games that are nice filler titles, right? You know, they're not the titles that drive sales, but they help cater to the audience that's already there. Metroid Prime 4 has a chance to bring laps to Metroid fans over and Pokemon. I mean, the Pokemon RPG that is going to bring over a lot of the 3DS fans, right? Those 3DS fans out there are going to be like, hey, we have our Pokemon on Switch. Let's get into it. At least that's a hope anyways. So this is awesome, but we need to temper our expectations just a little bit. A representative of Nintendo, probably their PR contact with GoNintendo.com reached out and told Go Nintendo that there is no change in what they announced last week, which is that those two games are coming, but they have no specifically announced release window or year. And that's what it was during E3, right? They just said those games are coming. We don't know when. Charlie was saying 2018. If I had to venture to guess, one of those two games will probably come in 2018. I don't know if it's Metroid. I don't know if it's Pokemon, but one of those two games, assuming that they've been in development long enough, will probably hit in 2018 with the other one pushed to 2019. That's just my guess. It's possible they both come out in 2019. Heck, it's possible they both come out next year. And Switch's second year almost ends up becoming bigger than their first year, which is hard to believe. It can be bigger than their first year when you've got Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey this year. That's just insane. So yeah, either way, it's exciting because Charlie is under the impression the games are coming next year. And whatever happens, this is crazy. Obviously, I don't think this isn't going to happen, right? There's no way Metroid Prime 4 and a Pokemon RPG and Switch is hitting in 2018, right? Maybe?  Because they're pulling out all the punches here. That Metroid Prime 4, Kirby, Yoshi, Pokemon RPG, potentially in 2018, that is just Nintendo getting it all right. All right, maybe. We'll see what happens in E3 next year, I guess. That's probably when we'll actually get confirmation on if and when those games are arriving in 2018.
