Hello. Good afternoon. And you have come to discuss this. I think we'll go straight to questions. Indeed. Good afternoon. Please. Hi. How are you? Hello. Hi. If you allow me, I have two questions. First questions about the Zaporizhia. The decision of Russian authorities in the Zaporizhia, the Zaporizhia workers, is very critical, very fragile to the nuclear safety. You expressed your concern before your visit in Zaporizhia. I would ask, could you please give us a little bit details with your conversation, with your Russian authorities, how they respond on your concern, and have they closed big employer's gaps for the war? More than 11,000 now, 4,500. And what is happening actually, those workers who not accept this contract. The second question about the Middle East. Tension in the Middle East, because of the situation in Gaza, it's higher than ever, as you know. Not expected nuclear activities and nuclear weapons in Israel would make this situation in Middle East much more complicated. What do you think about it? Thank you very much. Two very important points on the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. As you know, I was visiting. I went first to Kyiv, my ninth visit to Ukraine, the fourth to the plant itself. I had a long conversation with President Zelensky, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine, with the nuclear authorities of the country. Then I went down to the station. I have been saying that the situation continues to be fragile in a very concrete way. This weekend, for example, our teams there reported more military activity in the vicinity of the plant, which means that the physical integrity of the station is, of course, or continues to be at risk. This is a situation that is evolving day by day. We cannot say at any point that we have reached a more stable or better, I would say, situation. That is unfortunately the reality. We also continue to have problems with the external power supply. With one of the two remaining lines not being operational at the moment. The plant is really relying on just one line of power from the outside. All of this makes it for a very precarious situation. You mentioned the issue of the staff. Yes, this is the fact that a number around 100, I don't have a complete list, but a number around that of former Energoatom staff, which were invited together with many others, the whole of the remaining staff at the plant, decided to decline the offer to sign a contract with a new entity, commercial entity or operational entity that has been created there. These people, you are asking what is happening with them. They are not allowed to go back to the plant anymore. I had discussions with the management when I was visiting about the impact of the absence of some of these people or these people on the operations of the station, and they indicated that there was no direct impact. Of course, the necessary amount or levels of staffing is a very important matter that we are following very, very closely. You have to remember that the plant is at shutdown status, which means that it is operating at a very, very low regime, not producing any energy, so the amount of activities at the required levels of staff are not the same as if you were operating at full capacity. So that is one. On the middle list, of course, I have been saying that I am concerned. The middle list is a wide issue, and it has many aspects, many different aspects. Of course, what is happening in Gaza has a dimension that it is important. There were very, I would say, unhelpful comments about using nuclear weapons there. I expressed myself on those, saying that loose talk about nuclear weapons is unacceptable, so that was very clear. But from that, we have, of course, other situations in the region where, as I said to the border governors in the morning, the agency is trying to uphold the non-proliferation regime. This loose talk about nuclear weapons extends to other countries, including Iran. And other countries, not far from that region, have said that if Iran has nuclear weapons, they will have nuclear weapons as well. So there is a very concerning sort of domino thing about nuclear weapons or the potential accession to nuclear weapons that it is very concerning, and I think this must be stopped. And this is why I, as Director General of the IEA and Guardian of the Operational Aspects of the NPT must remind everybody, at least those in standing, hopefully in good standing, with the NPT, that these are obligations. These are legal obligations they have. We all have an obligation if we are within the NPT to respect it. Nuclear weapons are not acceptable. They are prohibited according to international law for those who are parties to the NPT. All right? So I continue in my efforts. I'm continuing my efforts in Iran. I will start again my efforts in Syria, which is a very important case, which has been, you know, continuing without a concrete outcome or a resolution for a long time. It's been, I think, 13 years since the IEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution regarding the situation there. And we have been talking past each other. I took an initiative to approach my Syrian counterparts and Foreign Minister Ergdat wrote to me this weekend indicating that they expect me in Syria very soon. So we are trying, as I tell you, to uphold the nonproliferation norm to the best of our abilities. Next. Hi, DG. Jonathan Tyrone, Bloomberg News. Hello. Two very brief questions. First, what do you hope to accomplish when you go to Moscow this week? What will you tell Mr. Putin on the second anniversary of the Zaporizhia seizure? And when do you leave? Okay, that's one question. Yeah, yeah, can you just answer that and I'll ask a quick follow-up? All right. So I'll answer your first question. Well, in terms of accomplishing, I don't know, I think it is very important, very important that we keep this high-level dialogue with both belligerents. I've been to Kyiv many times. I've spoken many times with President Zelensky, with President Putin once and also with other, I mean, with Minister Lavrov and others. What is happening there, as I just explained to your colleague, is of tremendous importance in terms of international peace and security. So for me, it's very important to be able to discuss with him some technical points. Of course, I was there. I was at the plant. I was discussing some issues. I want to have an impression of what are the plans there and be able to put across some important points that we believe that technically are very, very important. And you leave tomorrow, correct? In principle, yes. Of course, diplomatic practice indicates that I should leave the announcements to my Russian hosts, but it is the idea, yes. And then just very briefly, you visited Dubai at the end of January for a conference. Indeed. And you were on a panel and you said, when it comes to certain activities, you need to have a very specific provisions which could be embedded in an additional protocol. Of course, today, you called on people to adopt an additional protocol, but you also said there could be other arrangements as well. So I'm wondering what other arrangements outside of the additional protocol could be for Saudi Arabia, could be for Iran and some of the other countries that you were addressing at that forum. Well, the border governors agreed back in the day on the model additional protocol, which is the best expression of what authorities and competencies the IEA could have in order to expand its inspection and visibility. But as we know, first of all, it's not excluded. Member States may decide on other things. You have cases where a creative diplomacy, like in the case of my own country, I was working for many, many years on the ABAC, IEA, Argentina, Brazil, which I think has been serving both countries well and the international community. So this to say that the important thing is to uphold the nonproliferation norm. Of course, we know what the best way to achieve that is, and this is why the AP is a model that has been agreed after long negotiations. You were following that already. But there may be other ways. I'm not close to anything. We have clear ideas, and we hope to be able to have a technical conversation with all partners about that. Hello, Mr. Guruji. Hello. This is Ahmad Samadi from Iran International TV. Hello. I have two questions regarding to Iran. Yes. Following your recent critique of Iran's nonproliferation with the agency, Mohammad Islami, head of the Iran Atomic Energy Organization, accused the agency of interfering with Iran's access to the necessary equipment, supplies, and technology. Do you confirm these words if yes, what trouble caused by the agency? The second question is, last year, you appealed to the board members and also the international community for assistance regarding the Iran issue. Could you please update on the support you have received thus far? Can you clarify the second part? Support from other countries, you mean? No, no. You appealed the international community to support the agency regarding the Iran. Ah, yes, of course. Well, on the first one, you know that I try to avoid commenting on other people's comments. Otherwise, it turns into a sort of a snowball of indirect accusations or discussions. I have a good dialogue with Mohammad Islami and I hope to be able to talk to him in person before it's too long. So that is one thing. I don't believe, on the contrary, I think the IAEA does not interfere. The IAEA is the way to ensure cooperation international cooperation. The IAEA cannot interfere in bilateral trade or bilateral actions. So I am very surprised by this idea that the IAEA interferes. The IAEA has a competence on certain things and authority to do certain things and it does it to the best of its abilities. So I don't think the IAEA, on the contrary, the IAEA is and will always be, I would say a vehicle for more cooperation. So I hope that Iran cooperates more with us and things will be better in this regard as well. In terms of the international community, I think it's very important what you mentioned because the IAEA has the authority that is given to it by the international community. This is not an individual pursuit that I'm after. So I need the support of the border governors, I need the support of the international community at large because what is at stake here is, as I have been saying, that we don't see nuclear weapons around, that nuclear weapons are not used, nothing more, nothing less. So I hope that people take their obligations very, very seriously because actions or inactions may have consequences. As I was saying just now, other countries may have plans, et cetera. So I am really counting very seriously on the support of the international community for my work. Thank you very much. Albert Auti, DPA, Chairman Price. Hi, yes, hello. On your visit to Russia, you said you wanted to discuss technical issues without going into too much detail. Can you maybe highlight one or two or three issues or concerns that you want to bring up with President Putin? First of all, if I have such a high-level meeting, I wouldn't exclude that other issues are discussed. So I would not be coming with a fixed list of items and as it happens, when I have a meeting with a world leader that has responsibility and in particular a nuclear weapon possessor state, permanent member of the Security Council, I cannot exclude that other things are discussed. But when it comes to the plant, there are issues related to the future operational status of the plant. Is it going to be started or not? What is the idea? What is the idea in terms of the external power supply lines? Since what we see is extremely fragile and thin. So these are important matters. If it's restarted, what kind of safety evaluations are going to be made? I mean, there are many things where the agency has a role, a responsibility even, I would say. So there are many questions, I suppose, that could be discussed within this specifically technical area that I'm mentioning. Francois Murphy from Reuters. A couple of questions on Iran. You said you need the support of the board, but now quarter after quarter you sort of list all these problems that you have with Iran that are either increasing or getting worse or both. And again, we have no resolution against Iran. I realize that technically it's member states decisions, but you do have an opinion on this, at least a private one. So are you frustrated at the lack of a resolution against Iran this time? And my mind has gone blank, forgive me. Well, you're saying that... No, sorry, yes, no, sorry. Uninspectors, particularly inspectors. Forgive me. No, that's okay. At the time you mentioned that the fact that Iran had designated these inspectors and you hoped to negotiate a solution and clearly that hasn't happened. And here we are, nothing's happened and it doesn't seem like there's going to be much contact with Iran on this. Things don't seem to be moving anywhere fast. So do you think you should have handled that differently at the time? Should you have called an emergency board? Should things have been handled differently? How do you feel about that? Okay. Well, you used the word frustration. I would certainly apply the word frustration to the second, which is this issue of the designation of the inspectors. Frankly, we've been exchanging on this. It's not like there hasn't been a conversation on this, but I haven't received any positive answer on it. I hope that I will be getting that. I chose not to call an extraordinary session of the board on this, because I think it's a matter that can be resolved bilaterally without resorting to this means that would be, in my opinion, more fitting to other types of issues with other relevance. Not that this is not relevant, but I don't think it was the correct way to go. On the first one, so the other frustration. No, I don't feel frustrated about that. I think the support of the international community can be expressed in many ways. And I, in my dialogue with presidents, heads of government, foreign ministers, as you can imagine, the first thing in the agenda that I have with them is the situation in Iran. And I see that they are enormously concerned. So Iran may like or dislike this, but this is what I feel. And here is where I get this unanimous, I would say, unanimous expression that they feel that the only way forward is through cooperation with the IEA. There's no other peaceful and cooperative solution to this thing that does not pass through cooperation with the IEA. So I don't think this is absolutely necessary. It's in the wisdom of member states when they feel they want to have this. And I try to stay clear of that. Sometimes people say, do you want a resolution? Do you don't want a resolution? You know, what I want is results. And sometimes resolutions have immediate effects. Sometimes they don't. So I don't feel frustrated by that. In so far as I am getting very, very strong support, also public statements by many, many countries at the highest level that they really are standing behind the IEA. Thank you. Yes, sir. Hi. Hello. Thank you for the question. I think what you're raising is very important. But I would separate very clearly the two things. Very clearly. I think one thing is an operational incident that may happen. And when you look at the, we have the nuclear safety world map in front of us here, this house. And we are following the operation of facilities all over the world. And it is not extraordinary to have situations where there can be a leak, quite minor, as it was the case, or a staff might be hurt. We're talking about, don't forget, we're talking about 450 reactors all over the world and hundreds and hundreds of facilities with thousands, tens of thousands of staff working at those, all right? So of course, everything is important. And every single thing that happens, we are trying to follow up accordingly. This is why when we got news that there had been a splash and two employees had been sprinkled with some drops of water that could contain radio nucleates. We put the question. We got the answer that there had been no contamination on this staff, luckily. And then there was some water on the ground. This happens in many, many places. I'm not banalizing this, all right? We are following these things, but they have their specificity and they are not extraordinary events. On the other thing, which is a vast operation, which is being conducted in a planned, programmed way, it is completely different. And as you rightly say, we said and my proposal and my commitment with the international community is to be there before, during and after. I always said that and this is exactly what we did from the very beginning. From the moment Japan announced they wanted to do this. And we supported this, not only with words, but with a concrete presence there and very important, very, very important independent sampling, all right? I want to explain this. In normal circumstances, and this would be accepted because it's part of the normal procedure, the IEA should be corroborating the sampling made by the Japanese operator. This is the normal way. This is what happens in the United States, in Canada, in China, in my country, Argentina. So when we have to do something, we have some exercise or some peer review. Then we check what they do and we say, yes, this is okay. This is according to the here because I felt that it was an extraordinary situation. I proposed to the Japanese that they allow us to do our testing. So no Japanese testing, IAEA testing, IAEA evaluation, IAEA results and they agreed. So I want to make this very, very clear because I know it's important in China. There is a lot of concern and I respect that as I have been discussing with your government and I hope to be discussing that in Beijing when I come later in the year. And by the way, talking about being places, I will be in Japan very soon. And this is one of the things that we are going to be discussing because I agree with you or in the assumption in your question that we need to strengthen. We have a lab there. We have office space. You know, we need to prepare ourselves for the long haul. Yes. Can I ask you two or three questions? First is what the statements from the Iranian very top high officials in Iran. First, the head of Iran's international energy organization saying that we have the capability to build bombs. Yeah, nuclear bomb. Yeah. And then a few weeks later, we had the former head of the agency and the former foreign minister saying that we have all the bits and pieces for building a bomb. You are talking about loose talks, loose talks in Iran, but this is surely more than that. This is a message that we have, as Mr. Saleh said, we have crossed the thresholds, the technical and scientific thresholds, nuclear thresholds. How concerned are you about this beyond this issue of loose talk? There must be something more to it, surely. The other is that you were hoping to visit Iran. I don't know before this session of Board of Governors. I don't know what happened, why you didn't go there. And lastly, you have said before that you are very deeply concerned about the expansion of Iran's nuclear program and its move towards weaponization, nuclear weapon. What would you like the Board of Governors to do ideally? Well, thank you very much. Well, the statements again, I think in this case we have to take what has been said very, very seriously, especially what comes from officials of the government. Dr. Saleh, with whom I have been working for many, many years, is a former foreign minister and a former head of the EOI. But the head of the EOI says very similar things. So as you know, from a purely legal perspective, I have to be able to confirm what we call the completeness and correctness of Iran's declaration. What does it mean? What is hidden behind these legalese words? Completeness is they are saying everything that they should be saying. Correctness is that all that they are saying is right. So the declarations of a country in good standing with the NPT do not include elements, parts or things that you would need to have a nuclear weapon, obviously. So when I hear these things, I wonder, well, is it anything else perhaps that you should be declaring to us, to the agency? We take these things very seriously. I think in the past, all of us as an international community paid a very, very high price when countries were pretending to be formally in good standing with their obligations, where at the same time they were violating them. So I think it is very important that we take our obligations very seriously and we act in accordance with that. That's all there is. So I have to react and I have to say this is not correct. We shouldn't be saying these things. And if you are saying these things, perhaps there are things that you should declare more than you have. So this, of course, will be, this conversation will have to be continued. This is why I always say the only way forward is to talk to each other, not through the press, not through the, through, I don't know, rumors or gossip or whatever. I think we need to establish a good dialogue. I thought we had one when I went to Iran last year and we had a joint statement which was covering very clear areas. Unfortunately, Iran decided to stop implementing it. They started implementing it and then they stopped implementing it. And I'm not saying anything which is a secret. They have said it publicly why they have stopped this. They have said that until they get, you know, sanctions relief or whatever it is. And I have said to that, I signed something in good faith. This is between the agency and the Islamic Republic. This is not between me, the Islamic Republic and country A, B, C or whatever. So I hope we'll be able to be talking to each other again. This is in direct relation with your second part of the question regarding the visit. I hope we will have, I will have an opportunity to talk to them in person as soon as possible. I cannot go if they don't invite me. Whenever they feel that they are ready to talk to me, I will be more than happy to return. Finally, I think your third question was, I never said that I was concerned about weaponization. I don't have any proof or indication that Iran is weaponizing. Well, that's different. That's a different thing. This is why I don't, I don't, I don't engage in loose talk myself or try to at least. So I want to be very precise, very precise. I don't have any information that Iran is making a nuclear weapon, but I hear what they say and I ask questions. And secondly, what I would say is Iran is the only country that does not have a nuclear weapon that isn't reaching at 60%. And it's accumulating uranium and reached at 60%. It's a very high. They have the right. They always say that under the NPT, they have the right to, okay, that is correct. At the same time, they need to have an inspection system which is commensurate with their ambitious program and the levels they are getting on it. Thank you. Thank you. This is Stephanie Liechtenstein today reporting for the Associated Press. Could you confirm, so you're going to Russia tomorrow?  And once you are coming back to Vienna, are you hoping that the board this week will still issue a signal about the safety of the plant? Is there anything you're hoping for from the board, for example, in the form of a resolution? And if I may, on Iran today, again, you're telling the board that you have lost continuity of knowledge in relation to the production and inventory of centrifuges and so forth. What exactly is the impact of that loss of knowledge? On the first question, of course, and given the level of the meeting, I would expect Russia to be informing officially about this. It's the idea, but of course, until the Russian government officially confirms this, I shouldn't be doing it myself. But this is the intention. Regarding the possible action, I don't think that I wouldn't be expecting if this is the sense of your question that the board reacts after my trip to Moscow or the Russian Federation in general. As I was saying in the first question that I was responding to our colleague here, this is part of a process. It's part of a process. There are many things happening and we need to keep things stable and we need to get to the end of this without a nuclear accident.  So I don't expect anything. Of course, the board will judge whether they want to do something or not. It's up to member states. In terms of continuity of knowledge, yes, this is a very important point, Stephanie. The thing is, as we were saying, we expect diplomacy to restart at some point. We expect an agreement to be reached so that we can have a better situation when it comes to the Iranian nuclear program. The thing is that to do that, just as it happened back in 2015, 2015, 2016, with all these dates, you remember this agreement was very complex with different dates, different date lines and different obligations. Well, all of that was predicated on the notion that these agencies should be able to tell the participants in the agreement that things were okay, that this was the point of departure. There was such amount of nuclear material, such amount of centrifuges, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Well, 2024 is completely different than 2014. It's almost 10 years, believe it or not. We're not getting any younger, aren't we? So this is the case. So the technology in Iran has evolved. We are talking about 60%. We are talking about new centrifuges. We are talking about new sites, et cetera, et cetera. So this is where I say, hey, if you want me to help you quite clearly to fill the gap and to fill in the blanks with the necessary information, there are certain things that we should be able to be doing. So this is the sense of what I say when I say that there is a continuity of knowledge, there's a loss of knowledge, and I am concerned about my ability, the ability of my inspectors to be able to put the jigsaw puzzle together again. Yes. For the first time. Welcome. Thank you. I have two questions in two aspects. One is about a follow-up about your trip to Japan. So what kind of message would you like to highlight or to convene to Tokyo or to the Japanese government? Another one is that what would you expect to bring back after your visit to Japan? So this is one question. Another one is about the upcoming, the first ever nuclear summit. Yes. And what can we expect from this summit, especially in terms of the joint declaration? Yes. And another one. So what kind of a contribution do you expect from the Chinese delegation? Because I'm aware the Chinese nuclear chief and another CEO is already there in the IAA, the panelists, I think. Okay. Very good. In terms of my trip to Tokyo. Thank you. To a certain extent, you can apply the same logic that I am describing when I talk about what I'm doing in Ukraine and the other parts. My involvement and the involvement of the high level authorities of the countries is indispensable because these are very big issues. And as you know, this matter, whatever happened around Fukushima, shocked the world, Japan, its political system, the future of the energy in that country. Many countries in Asia and the Pacific were concerned. So that is that required at that time and now the involvement of the highest authorities. This is why I've been having this contact and discussion with the prime minister, prime ministers, I would say already, of Japan, foreign ministers and others. So it's not that I'm bringing a message. This is the continuation of a very, very important work. And we were discussing with your Chinese colleague now what other things, you know, it's a long-term operation. It's something that is unprecedented because Japan is seeding national competencies to us to carry out very important work. I know that China has been putting forward ideas. They want to be more involved. We are trying to see how we can accommodate this. We are trying to provide solutions. We are there as an honest nuclear safety authority trying to do the right thing. So I am looking forward to this visit, not only to Tokyo, but to Fukushima. I will also go to Fukushima to see with my own eyes, to see what's going on there, to talk to my staff who is there, to talk to the TEPCO management, to talk to the Japanese regulator, to talk to the people. You know, there are many people there that also have concerns. And every time I go there, I meet with journalists, local journalists. I meet with the Chamber of Commerce. I meet with students. And I'm planning to do that because they asked me to do that. I meet with mayors of the different towns and villages around so that they can hear from me. I'm not Japanese. I am the authority, the nuclear regulator of the world, if you want, of sorts. So what we are doing, this is what they need, an explanation, an honest explanation of what is being done and to listen to them. This is very important. So the summit, the summit is very important. The summit indicates how big the change is when it comes to the global discussion on nuclear energy. Now, every country in the world participating, for example, in the conferences of the climate change, the so-called COPS. Now, they all agreed in what I believe is a sea change from the past. It took 28 of these conferences to come to the conclusion that you have to accelerate nuclear. We always believe so. So we are happy that 28 conferences later, there is an agreement, everybody, that nuclear should be accelerated together with renewables and every CO2-free low-carbon source of energy. So the fact that you have, for the first time in history, a summit of heads of state and government on nuclear energy is not to applaud this, obviously, is to get together and to see what can be done to accelerate, to carry out this acceleration. It's not an easy thing. You need the financing mechanisms, for example, which are not easy. China is a powerful country. It can finance, but many other countries have problems and they still need more nuclear and want more nuclear. So what are the international cooperation mechanisms that we can agree at that level of heads of state and government so that this is accelerated? So we have very high expectations of this summit, and I hope to see you and others there. So we'll tell you more when it happens. It is on the 21st of March in Brussels. Then you spoke about China and its cooperation. Of course, China, this year we are celebrating 40 years, 40 years of China's membership in the IEA. And when you look back in history and you see what China was 40 years ago in nuclear, in civilian nuclear, and what is now, it is an amazing story. So I hope to be there and enlarge and strengthen this cooperation, which is indispensable for the success of nuclear energy as a solution to the global warming and many other problems. So I thank you very much for your interest, and we will be seeing each other soon. Thank you. Have a nice day.


But realize that as you're entering the code, as you're creating new accounts, you want to make sure that you're doing so in such a way that it lines up to the structure of what a trial balance should be. Basically the account types should be in the order of balancing on top of the income statement or assets, liabilities, equity, then income and expense. In other words, it wouldn't make sense for you to have a code number over here that said 500 for the checking account, because then if you sort it by code, the checking account's going to be down here somewhere in, you know, the cost of good sold section and that doesn't make sense. So you want to subordinate your code numbers to the ordering of the accounts as you're creating them and be mindful of that.

That's tough I'll be shitting on them.  I'm reading it a four ESTG slid though But it's still a four because this is a UK. This was me. It's a four It's not making a list. I'm gone


Yeah, I don't know. It sounds crazy. Obviously, I was a fan and grew up and thought about him and so you'd maybe dream about being in the same type of sentences like that. But I feel like everyone's got a long way to go to reach him. I don't think anyone will, so I guess I appreciate it to an extent. But yeah, that's about it.


So one of the things that I discuss pretty frequently if you come to these is the idea that we've got our two separate editors, right? You've got what you write in your posts and your pages. This is your content.  Anything that comes from you for the most part lives in these dashboards here. With the new site editor though, this is where your theme is structured. So how things appear, your colors, where they appear on the screen rather than what you've written. So one thing that we ran into last time that I really wanted to address because we're going to be looking at pages and making effective pages is what to do when your theme, your block theme, like my theme. If you click into it, you'll notice that there is content in this site editor, right? So this is just the sample content here. And I really like what they've done here. It's part of the reason why I picked this because I do think that this is a very effective home page. But for those of you who are super new to the space in the 10 last week, I think it's really important for you to know that whenever you are working in appearance and editor, this is your site editor. You have pretty high probability of losing anything that you write here. So if I decide to change this, help us protect our animals to, let's say I'm starting a business, Sarah's bird visiting service. And I end up changing themes.  So this is something that I'm seeing often with some of the new block themes is that they've designed it in a way that encourages you to write in your site editor. So one thing that I think is really important for everybody to know is what to do when you're like, wow, I really love this theme. This is a block theme. It's really cool. But it wants me to write directly in this editor here. So we're going to start by creating a home page today. Has anyone else seen this? Like, when you go to your themes, have you seen this in the past? Yes, no. Does your theme have you writing more of your content here? Or does it have you writing more of your content in the poster pages? Is this just like a me thing or is this a you thing too? Just curious. Have you seen this before? Yay or nay? Okay, so Laura's not seen this. That's okay. She's using 2023. Okay, cool. So some people are saying, hey, no, I've never seen this or yeah, I have. But I think it's something to really be aware of. And one thing that's interesting about the 2023 theme is that there's a couple of lines in it. I'll actually show you there's a little bit of this in that theme as well. So let me switch to that really quick. So this is a block theme. And if I go to my editor here, you'll notice that if I scroll down one thing scroll, it's got some content here. Like, get, you know, do you have any book recommendations in here, or this mind blown a blog about philosophy. Like this is something that would disappear when I switch themes, right? So, you know, if I write a heading here and it's just a heading, you'll notice that is the heading block here. You can tell that because of the H1 and, guys, no. Sorry about that. My neighbors are outside. You'll notice that when I switch my theme back, what I just wrote is going to completely disappear. So we're going to talk about that just really quick because I think it's really important. So if I head back to my parents, let me switch to a different block theme, activate. I head to that site editor. That is completely gone. So that's what I really want to impress upon you is when you are writing in this editor, it's really important to just use this for structure as much as possible. So, what do we do about this rather than writing in the site editor, Sarah's bird visiting service, you'll notice that that didn't transfer to my other theme, how do I write this in a way that my content sticks. So an effective home page is one that will transfer from theme to theme. And some of these themes prevent that. So what we're going to do, and you're welcome to do this along with me if you would like. But we're going to use our pages editor here. I'm going to start by creating a place to move the content that we just saw. So I'm going to head to pages and I'm going to add two new pages. And the first one is going to be my home page. This is where I am going to write my glorious home page content. My thoughts, ideas, images, media, anything from my head or computer generally goes here. So I'm writing a little bit of this so that you can see how this is going to transfer. So this page doesn't look like anything special. This is it so far. That's okay. That's expected. So now I am going to write a second page just because I want to have a page for my blogs to live as well. It's just kind of one of the things I don't like to leave things blank. So I'm just going to write blog publish. This is going to give a space for any blog entries to live you do not have to do this if you do not want to blog but that's okay. So our first step is completely done we've added the blank home page we've added the blog page. We're now going to head down here to our settings. And we're going to head to our reading settings and this will allow us to change our home page to display what we want it to. So I want to switch this from hey my latest blog post because this is this is geared towards four page websites right. And I want to make it a static page so a page that doesn't change with new blog posts for the most part. So I created I'm going to set the home page here and I'm going to set my post page to be my blog here. And this is about to set us up for success so we've done that make sure that you scroll down to the bottom and save those changes that is step two and creating a strong home page that can transfer from thing to thing. Now, part of the reason that I picked the theme that I picked is because I really liked the way that it was designed right like I want what is on those home pages to actually appear on this home page. So the first thing I want you to notice is that when I click on this home page now I've set it as my home page. Anything that I wrote here is not appearing right it's showing what is in the site editor. So that's not good because if I click on each now remember this is our page editor not our site editor. Where did my ideas go why is this not on my homepage. We want you to take it it's this content is what transfers. So, what we're going to do now is we're going to head back to our editor going to go to appearance and editor. I'm going to click into this home page template right because this is what is now showing on this page. So, I'm going to open up my list view here because this is going to allow me to grab the main content from this beautiful homepage because I really like this right like I think that this this is a very eye catching photo I love this cover block. I really like the way this is laid out with the left and the right like I want this to become something that I do I don't want to have to completely build this from scratch right that's why I picked this theme. So I'm going to use this list view here. And when if you're brand new to this you'll notice that we've got a header, a group and a footer and these two things your header and your footer these are template parts right so these are the very top and bottom of your theme. We've addressed these in previous sessions so you definitely want to find those if you're like whoa what are those like that was covered at a later point you can also see the beautiful links that Catherine is dropping in there as well. But what I want isn't the top and isn't the bottom it's the main content of this page. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to select this group. I'm going to press these three dots to the right. And I am going to copy this, and then I'm going to do something a little scary. I'm going to remove it entirely. So this isn't very pretty yet that's okay we're going to come back to this in just a second we're going to move to step three which is going to be to take what I just copied and move it from this site editor here which does not transfer. I'm going to move it to our pages editor here so I'm going to take this and I've got my homepage here here's my front page I'm going to go back and edit it. And now I am just going to control be underneath it. And now you can see all of those blocks that I chose this theme for now appear on this page. So you've got my content up here. Hello, this is my glorious writing. This is the content that transfers between themes I'm just going to keep hitting that point I'm going to click update. Now if I view this page, we've got one last step you're going to look at it and be like wow that is. There's not a lot there what's going on here right like I just edited this page if I click on edit this page this content is here. How do I get it to show up on my home page the way that it was before for the reason that I picked this thing.  So I'm going to head to appearance and editor this brings us to my beautiful block theme. I'm going to click into this front page here.  So right now this is this is WordPress is saying hey I want you to show me whatever is in my header template part which is way up here. I'm going to show you whatever is in my footer what I want WordPress to do in this block theme is pull the content from my pages editor and throw it on this page and I definitely want that in between the header and the footer. So this theme is a little weird its header has like an interesting transparency there's something weird going on here. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to use these three dots. I'm going to say hey I want to insert something after this. And this means that I'm not editing this header template part I'm not editing this footer template part template parts if you make a change to them here or in the template part section they ripple across the entire website. So now what I want to do, I'm going to use my insertor here. And I'm going to switch over from patterns to blocks. And I'm going to look for the post content block. So this is a theme block that will pull whatever post I have designated into this editor.  If your post has a featured image if you wanted to pull an excerpt from your posts and pages dashboard this is how you draw that into your website. So now you can see some of us some of my content has been pulled in here. I can now save this. And now if I view my website. Here we go and visiting my home page. You'll notice hey, there was my content here something interesting is going on at the top that I'm probably going to have to play with. But everything that I selected from this theme is now on this page. So if I switch themes now this content is going to switch with me. So I'll show you that really quick just to really like nail this point home just because there's it's so important I think in such a best practice that I think is a kind of a newer one. So let me let me switch themes to the 2023 theme here just so you can see this. And if I go back to that page. And I view my home page here. It's displayed differently but all of that content is still there. So I think tip number one is just to make sure that you are writing your content in the right in the right place especially for your home page just because you do want anything that you write anything that comes from your head you don't want that to get lost in the theme switch. So are there any questions about that so far like I just I that is so important we definitely got stuck on it last time. But it is a way that you can utilize this in a way that serves you and moves things. See Catherine has been dropping wonderful links I give additional information on this. Anything you'd like to add Catherine are you good. I think that was pretty clear hopefully it was clear to everyone. I don't see any questions. Sweet. Okay. So, I just really wanted to start with that just because it was very confusing to me in front of everybody last time. So, step number one put your content in the right place. So now let's let's get interactive here. I'm trying to think about effective pages so this the goal of this is to have four pages your homepage or about page your contact page maybe a services page. First up what is your website topic. And what is the goal of your website. So, trying to think about I try to use real examples for these I'm like I have a friend who I do her website and she owns a cleaning service so the goal of her what like this so her website topic is her cleaning service. And the goal is to bring in new cleaning customers that's what she told me she wanted when I set up her website. A lot of business websites are going to are going to be about that right so they're either to bring in new customers or they are to give information to repeat customers. But what is your website about answer in the chat box and what's the goal of your website. We'll start there. What's your website. Yes, any clients. That's a goal. What's the topic though. I know there's another training team member who is building a training website for like how to build websites with mobile. So, I think their goal is to share information. Other, other topics other goals. So, bringing in more volunteers bringing in book presentations yes. I think if I were making one for the training team, our goal would be to probably like aggregate bring in new training team contributors. Any others, you're quiet today. That's okay. So I want you to really keep your website goal in mind and I want you to think about how you build what we call in English class eat those pay those and logos and these are appeals to your credibility appeals to emotion and appeals to logic right so when you think about your credibility. What like what are those it's a really good idea to generate some examples of that. So like for example, my, my friend who has the cleaning business she has, you know, been in the business for 10 years like that that builds that eat those what else is she done she brings in like she mentions like the background projects that she does. For each of her users testimonials reviews yes testimonials reviews are amazing credibility for that. Let's see. Interesting, or being of interest to readers yep. Okay. I love that. Just trying to think. Let's move on to emotion Laura starting to do that. So, we also want to talk about building emotion so emotional appeals in your writing. So, it's interesting so Laura we're going to talk about that in just a minute about like where do these go on on each of your pages. So, how do you connect to people emotionally for your topic. So blogging just general blogs could do that. I'm trying to think where you'd see that like on a on the cleaning page. Gosh I feel like in retrospect I should have had a graphic organizer for that. So people could like actually write out like what was what what is it for them.  And then, like that that evokes a feeling of kind of disgust right like it's a little bit of an anecdotal story.  Images showing a house before and after a cleaning yes images can be very very powerful for pay those love it. So these are all of the different things on the last one is logos is logic, which is a logical appeal to things. What you want to do is you want to build effect pages you want to use your credibility your emotions your logic here to really tell the story of your user and I'm going to fix this up in just a quick second I meant to put animations on this. I have myself y'all. I paragraph. Alright, let's try that again. Oh my goodness see it didn't do it that time for me. Maybe that time, maybe that time. So when you're building your pages for the first time. I'm going to refresh this page so you can see that I built my homepage. I have a sample page that I'm going to trash because I don't need it. So as you're you're starting to think about your pages I want you to think about the story of your user so we've got a home page we have an about page. Home about men, what did I say services, and a contact page. For each of these. You really want to think about the mix of your logic your credibility your your emotional appeals, but more than that you want the story we want to kind of write a story of your user. So if we just have a four page website the first question that I have for you to really deeply consider is what do you want people to do on your home page and how do you want them to feel. So I want you to think about your user journey so what do you want to read or to think and feel on this front page, trying to think. I was really hoping we'd have more like concrete examples that we could share. So we could talk about that. That's an example though. I feel like I should have approached it differently. That's okay. Laura's given some really good examples of things like that but does anyone have an idea like what is what is your homepage supposed to do specifically for your audience. This is hers a blog for a memoir editor. Okay, blog for a memoir editor so this one for and it's not a four page business website is an actual blog. So on a blog page let's talk about like blogs versus business pages. What should your blog page do. I'm sorry, we back up. We don't have as many people typing so I apologize. Okay so it's a business website as well. So your homepage needs to do a couple of things right and needs to Laura said build a first impression. Yes, it should also do a quick overview of all the pages in your website. And it should also probably build your credibility as a developmental editor right. So if you want to think about like what topics. Could you bring in for that, what builds that credibility. And john says yeah so if you're if you're starting a website that's not necessarily fully business also partially blog you also want to have it be a little bit entertaining so that's when those those pages do a motion comment. Pain points of memoir editors yes oh my gosh I love those pain points so and that's a really good example of something that is it is an appeal to someone's emotions right so on your homepage. We go over here and click at it. I'm going to demonstrate this just a little bit to get rid of this information at the very top. But you'll notice that there are actually some pain points in this example here right so for this sample website. And talks about poaching cases versus rescued animals versus volunteers right. So these are some pain points. And I really like that this. I really liked this one because it did a lot of things as well. And these poaching cases these rescued animals like it's very very clear like you don't have to go in depth like I don't have to have a commercial with like lots of sad, sad animals I don't have to have a picture of somebody like of a poached animal here to evoke the feeling of wanting to rescue of wanting to volunteer so it looks like the purpose of this one is to bring in probably even more volunteers. Yeah okay so you guys are coming up with a lot of really great things. So pain points testimonials credentials. Yes, so this is a very personal thing. So let's actually analyze this one this homepage and let's let's talk about the mix here of everything so I'm going to just preview this rather than. So the first thing that I notice here is this really big picture of this parrot. Make your photos look brilliant weaving feathers. One thing that I really like that is very effective to write off the bat is this call to action hey using this theme make your photos look brilliant you've got this call to action button right here. So one thing that you can do to create an effective homepage is to use this cover block here and and put in a call to action I wonder actually. So I'm going to use this word press or pattern directory here. I wonder if they actually have examples of calls to actions here as well. Ah, they do. Okay, so we'll come back to this in just a second. But it starts with that. So whatever the goal of my website is the very first thing that I probably want to do. If I'm using this theme in particular is put whatever I want people to do on my homepage. Put that here. So you'll see this a lot you'll see donate buttons you'll see contact me buttons you'll see things like that that's usually front and center of what people want to do. So when people do this the first question that they usually have is why why should I do that. And that's when they start scrolling and here's where we start to mix our credibility are appeals to emotion and appeals to logic. So here they started with coaching cases rescued animals those that's definitely a an emotional appeal. Now we have our numbers right so I really like this one because it says the simple four column block here. And when you see numbers the first thing I think of this logic, but this is also logic that builds the credibility right so for this example it says hey we've got 768 photographs. We've done seven or 47 projects. We've won 124 awards, and we've used 13 lenses here. So this is using logic to build that credibility. So you can see the blend happening here. And then it looks like this last one here. This is supposed to be featured posts I think this actually is I'm going to take a look at this. I think that these are just placeholders here. It looks like they want to use a query loop. But what does this do for you when you look at these featured posts is this building credibility does this giving you an emotional reaction or does it doesn't speak to the logic here. So curious. When you look at this what do you think some more logic, some more emotion, this build credibility. What are your impressions. Now says that it builds credibility yes so one thing that is really important to know is that writing posts relatively frequently, or at least consistently that does build your credibility it shows that you are active it shows that you were engaged. There are an authority on the subject as well which builds that credibility yes there's that authority. So I think the key takeaway from your homepage is that you really do want to have a really nice balance between the logic between the credibility building and between the what am I trying to say, what's the last one and the emotion, the emotional thing behind it. So, yeah, that that's kind of the key takeaway that I want for this first page. And I think that if you were to build use for yourself, you would probably want to consider what you want to reach into thinking feel on your homepage or services page or about page and your contact page for each of these things. You really want to guide that journey.  There we go. So, for these. What is the balance between your credibility, your logic and your emotion. Where do you think that credibility should be highest which page. And why just curious, where should your credibility be highest, which of these pages. Victoria says homepage maybe john says homepage and about Jean says front page oh interesting these answers are surprising me tell me more. I think that the front page, you really only get one chance to make a first impression. So when you're working on your homepage that is probably the one that you want to spend the most time with. But I've also definitely seen some home pages that have just been absolutely stuffed with credentials like I'm so great I've won this award and that award and I've done this and then here's here all of my user testimonials is that helpful or is that off putting I'm just curious. What are your impressions. My thought, if you're typing that's fine but my thought was that maybe it should be on the about page right because like I think I feel like on the homepage and this this is just an opinion. And I'm curious to hear what yours are two so keep typing if you're typing, but for me I feel like the home page is almost a little bit of a teaser. Right. So it's hey like here are the most important things that you need to know, find out more. And you're designing your homepage rather than being like I have been volunteering forever and I have won all of these awards and I like to like hint at that, because when I'm on my homepage I don't want someone to just bounce off right away. I want them to discover more. So your homepage can be strong enough that immediately someone would, you know, jump to your contact page, but more likely I want to direct them to my about page. So that was my thought, but y'all are making some really good points. So, Jean saying hey if you don't seem to be credible from the front page people will go no further. So it's really really important to probably spend the most time on that front page. And says that she loves testimonials but she's willing to look for them on their own page as well. So, so, and for your journey, people for whom you are writing a website where testimonials are important so should they have their own little section. Or could we just tease it so if I were to work on this on my homepage you all are saying hey I want some testimonials here. I might put some rather than featured post I might change this to testimonials here and be like hey here are my top three testimonials and then maybe add a button down here that says hey see what else people are saying and actually be brought to that as well. Interesting. Let's see. And Laura says but what can you do for the client needs to be about the customer, not the company. I love that Laura, that's such a great point. So as you're designing your home page, not only does it need to be a wow page but it needs to be like your focus really needs to be on the customer and on the reader what do they need, what do they expect, what will draw them in. Because I think that the primary purpose of your homepage is for them to actually go somewhere else go to your services page go to your contact page, and you can direct their experience that way. So Mel is brought up a great point the details on your credentials clearly belong on the about page so it's almost like maybe on your homepage you have a couple of these. You're talking broad strokes right so it's, it's the teaser, but the details like if this were a real website the details about the poaching cases and the rescued animals and the volunteers that information. That's in the that read more so one thing that I really like here is to use the button block here to draw people in specifically to read more, and that would probably be in our about page, which I haven't obviously created here yet, but I really like that idea what a great So generals go here details go on the about so that people can dig deeper if they want. And we had, let's see. I like it. So admin is saying that the homepage is more about the client and what they want me, the about page is more about me, the company the person the writer behind this website that's a really good way to frame that. Okay. So we have a question which is a really good question let's talk about that what is the difference between a front page and a homepage. Catherine is answering that question home is not technically home page home is a WordPress specific template term home page is the front page of a website. So let's go back to our site editor so to get there. We had to our dashboard had to appearance and then editor. And if you have a website I encourage you to open this up and head to your templates because you might find some really interesting things here. So for example, this page has both a front page and a home page and one of these supersedes the other. So you can see this here on your front page is the number one website. Like is the number one template that takes precedence over all other templates. If this front page exists this is the first thing that people are going to see on your website. This is interesting. So I would have expected if I were to build the same this would have a front page and then a home page but this one we have our front page is the front page and the home page is is apparently my blog page. So when I went and I set this in my reading setting so we did this earlier under settings and reading. So that my post page to be blog apparently the home page via WordPress is what displays those blog posts. Got some really great conversation going on here okay. And so yeah so WordPress developed this way over. I guess it was what is 20th birthday the other day was that on Sunday. Yeah, so this has evolved over 20 years and naming things is really hard to keep it consistent over 20 years so that's some of what you're seeing here so when I mean once upon a time when I first started making websites. When I would hard code each TML and my template was like the homepage used to be index and apparently that has evolved over time so that your front page is your static front page and your homepage is the one that displays blogs. Normally that can I chime in with one more. Yes, absolutely because the site editor now makes it possible to put whatever you want inside any of these templates. It's even more confusing because you can put a query loop on any of these templates to display blog posts whereas before the site editor with classic themes. You were locked into displaying what your theme was designed to display so yeah it is the hot topic. And like and I just want to say you know you're so spot on this this is what we call a legacy thing as Sarah saying it's a, it's a historical artifact that makes no sense when you look at the definitions of these templates. Okay, it's like, why, why is it called home. If it's not the home page, it makes no sense so you know if anybody finds this confusing, you're not alone and there's reasons why it's confusing. But at least these little blurbs were added here in the template or you want to just click on one again just just so we can see these little descriptions of each template were added more recently so that if you forget what one of these things does. You know you can read this even though even sometimes just reading it is still confusing. At least the definitions are here. If you want to remind yourself what they each do. Okay, and end rent. Well and I think that's such an interesting point that you're making to so for example if we look at my front page right now I'm going to click into it.  This is saying hey this is bringing in the post content the way that this theme was designed it's got some overlap on it for whatever reason. So, I can have my post content here but I also could do something like say hey I want to put just a couple of blog posts on this page as well. So we had the section that was kind of placeholders it wasn't actually blog posts, but I can select as Catherine was saying a query loop here and say hey I just want to put. I don't know. I want to put a couple of blog posts at the very bottom of this so anytime I write a new blog post it automatically appears below this post content. So I'm going to save this and we're going to go view it to see what it actually looks like on the front end, just because this is so interesting so you can see that this is what's coming in from my page editor right so I just left the site editor. The page editor itself has all of this stuff. These aren't actually featured posts and I know this because I'm using my list few here. All of these different columns. These are just images and paragraphs. So these don't update but what I could do is, I wrote a new blog post I can feature these and use this and then just create a link to that hello world blog post or whatever other blog post I have so that these are the featured ones they're not going to update with everyone. You'll notice there's nothing at the bottom here. But I go back to my website. I go to the very bottom out and I just saw that let me go to my homepage. I should have a query loop here why is it not showing what. Oh, fascinating I think I might have found something that is. Oh, you know what it is I didn't set the right thing. So one thing that I that I've learned through trial and error on one of these is that you can just set a query loop in your templates like this. There's an option here that I need to select here I don't know why that is that color, but over here in my settings. I have to make sure I have query loops selected. I have to disable this inherit query from template and then it will show up. I, someone could tell me why if they happen to know. But we're going to go and now we're going to view this page. We're going to scroll to the bottom there it is there is my query loop with the text that is apparently only showing up on highlighting I would have to play with my global styles there. But now if I write a new blog post. Hello birdies of the world. Publish publish. I can now head to my homepage. You will see that hey all my content on this front page has stayed the same, but now Hello birdies of the world has updated there as well so that's what Catherine was saying about how like you can put anything anywhere now and that just didn't used to be the case. There are almost as many ways to do things with WordPress as there are stars in the sky. So figuring out what works for you is probably just the most important thing that I can tell you the way that I design websites may not be the way that you design websites and that's okay. Okay, yes. So, back to our topic with our front page here. I like the idea of teasing I like not teasing but like kind of previews for everything else on the website right. So that's kind of the previews here with these featured posts so I can make each of these link to a blog post so these two I haven't done yet but this one I have so I can make sure that this post is always at the top here that's one way that you could do that. I feel like your services pages is kind of, I don't know when you look at a website for the first time. Where do you normally go first so obviously you land on the homepage first. I feel like usually before I hit services I go to the about page but maybe that's not true for you. When you visit a website are you more likely to learn more about the company, or look at what they offer first. Just curious. I usually go to the contact page just see where they're located, especially if it's a, you know, an in person service and in person business. So many people hide their location and it's very frustrating. It's also does no good for their own SEO but that's, that's another topic but I might be the only weirdo that goes to the contact page and a lot of these places. I guess that's true. I think about it really do you know what Victoria you're right it does depend like I'm thinking about when I went to, I don't know that the bird rescues where I got all of my parents. I probably looked at which birds were available before I looked at like who they were just to kind of see like, are there things do they have what I offer and then are they actually like a reputable company. Huh, depends on what I need. If I need to get something repaired I go to services first can they fix what's broken in my house interesting. So I feel like the services page probably needs on your homepage and you're about page that's where you're building a lot of your credibility. So your homepage should do that enough so that someone like and can say okay I trust you enough could you maybe fix my stuff. Services is more of that logic right services equals how do you logically fix my problem. Whereas blog stuff. I don't know there are a lot of. Yes it depends on the blog. Yeah I need a graphic organizer for this one I think just because it's so individualized there is no one way to really think about that. I think that the key here is when you're on each page if someone went from home to services. What would we want them to do next so I highly recommend using block patterns to do this I'm going to edit this page, not the site, because this is where we put our content. So you might start off your services page with a testimonial right and because this isn't like the primary purpose, you might look for something that is a little bit smaller than some of these enormous ones right. So like something like this this anybody little testimonial here looks like those are from Twitter but you could probably change that, but you might start. I just copied that and I'm just pasting it in there. This builds just a little bit of credibility here. And there might be, you know, a different, a different testimonial per service perhaps. What else could you use what builds logic here you've got lots of different options. I see like if I were to look for services is there. Oh there's 166 patterns found for services so this patterns directory is really lovely. So a lot of things people want to know like what your services are at a glance right so you'll see a lot of things that are made with these different columns here that you can, you can go through. Just like that now you can just start editing. So I highly recommend doing that and thinking about hey how am I building my logic how am I doing things. How am I weaving these together. But yeah so that's that's basically the whole point, build your each page build it with logic credibility and emotion, make sure it's balanced make sure that you know what's important for each of your individual use cases. Yeah so we have some user questions here we were going to do some breakout room so I just don't think there's time for that today. So, animations on this one either did I let's add an animation. There we go just really quickly. So one person was asking like how do your links and navigation like how do they enhance your website. So button blocks and cover blocks are really really helpful to do things with so when you are building each page I think that very well placed buttons are really important so this hey get started here. This read more button like these are very very carefully placed. There are calls to do that. So I'm going to go down this homepage. So inviting people not only to like you can find things up here and you can reorder them, but not only do you want buttons up here you also want to place those buttons throughout your content right. So make your photos look brilliant get started. This might take me to my services page. This down here this read more hey this is. This would go to my about page you want to add those throughout here. And then, and Victoria let's talk about your carousel in just a quick moment. Someone also asked hey do you tend to build from scratch with patterns I usually recommend patterns just because it takes a lot of time. So that block pattern directory that's part of why we wanted to bring that up today is it's a lot easier to pick something copy it pasted and then make it yours. I'm going to skip to the end for this. Should I use a header or a slider because Victoria said, hey I really like is there a carousel is there a slider someone asked should I use a header or a slider. Generally speaking for accessibility purposes. It's really better to use a header image that is generally unchanging just because it's a lot easier to navigate it doesn't change it gives people with cognitive disabilities, something very solid to look at. If you do decide to have things like if this image slid to another one and or slid to another one after that, as long as it didn't constantly update on its own, it would probably be considered okay. It's not amazing for accessibility but as long as the buttons are clear, and people can actually take their time to look at this. That is something to know about that. So, yeah. Another person asked hey how long should each page be. So, if you have a science website and the purpose of your website is to discuss like very in depth things your articles can be really long. If your primary target audience are, I don't know, parents of very young children you know that their attention is probably got like 30 seconds to look at a website before their attention is elsewhere. So they have to consider your audience and all things. Yeah, so there was that and then somebody also asked how do you design for mobile versus desktop which is quite an advanced topic, but Catherine planned with me today. So there is a tool that has been created several months ago that allows you to create dynamic content that allows you to see which blocks are visible and where. So there may be more versions or different ones but this is one that can help you design on mobile as well. So I think it is really important to remember that the way that your website looks. A better example. The way that your website looks on a tablet is very different than how it may look on a cell phone apparently. Yeah, so you can kind of see how the stacks on top of each other or just shrinks. So playing with your screen size for things. You can definitely do that you also have your view button. Where did that go. I lost it. There it is. Where you can see the different sizing so that plugin can help you see hey what's going on where. And add spaces or remove them so if you ask that question, that is the resource for you there. Cool. Any final questions or thoughts or takeaways that you have Catherine or otherwise from today. This was a lot today but I think it's really. It's a good discussion thank you all so much for stepping up and really bringing your your thoughtful insight. We are all better for it. Okay, my key takeaways are for logic credibility emotional appeals homepages for readers about is for company or writers. Final takeaway is really consider your audience in all things. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your takeaways. And I think with that, we will wrap up today. Thank you so much for your time. All right, have a lovely one. Thank you all so much for joining us today. Bye. Okay, bill you just answered the question I had in my head of whether or not I should post this and I will. See you all later. Cheers.


What has gone on guys? It's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video. And in today's Destiny video we're going to take a look at the Payment 6 Queens Pulse Rifle. Now this is a weapon I was rewarded from the Prisoner of Elders when I played the House of Wars when I was at the Bungie Headquarters in Seattle about three weeks back. I recorded enough footage to give you guys a half decent review of this weapon which I'm going to do in today's video with a little bit of gameplay also. But before we get into the video if you guys could leave a like, I would appreciate the support. Let's try and reach 4000 likes. That would be insane if we could. First off we're going to take at this weapon's muds then we're going to take a little look at its in-depth PvP stats. We're getting straight into the weapon. You can see it's a kinetic damage weapon. You can also re-force this weapon at any time if you want to roll its mud with the Gunsmith and you can ascend it to a 365. Okay, it's three sites. We have the true site IS, we have the Focus Lens, F out S2 and we have the red, the ORS one. We then have its first mud hip fire. This weapon has bonus accuracy while firing from the hip. We then have skip rounds, ceramic jacketed rounds, ricochet on hard surfaces. The extreme density lets you carry more rounds in reserve. Add mass, slows down weapon handling. We then have quick George's weapon can be drawn unbelievably fast and we have hand-laid stock, increased stability, reduced range. We then have head-seeker, body shots with this weapon, increased precision damage for a short time. So that's the muds its weapon comes with. Now I'm not actually sure to be honest if this will have random rolls every time it is rewarded. That I'm not sure at this current moment in time. We're taking a look at its stats. You can see it's got a, well not too quick of a fire rate for a Pulse Rifle. Me personally, I prefer the ones that shoot quicker. But there are that one or two in the game like the three little words and the red death that have a slow rate of fire but a super high impact. This saw is in between on both impact and rate of fire. It's got half decent range also, stability is pretty good and so is its reload. It's got a standard magazine size of 24 in its clip. Now we're going to move on to its PVP stats. Now this weapon will shoot six bullets per second, meaning it shoots 360 rounds per minute. About the same as the red death and the three little words. It will empty its entire clip in just under four seconds. PVP damage it will do 22 to the body and 33 to the head. With that headset and mud active it will do 35 to the head. Damage per second is 132 to the body and 198 to the head. Maximum clip damage this thing will dish out with a standard 24 bullets is 792. And its reload speed is 1.27 seconds. Now I did use this weapon for about half a game in the trials of Osiris. And I just wasn't feeling it, I really wasn't. I mean I do like pulse rifles in this game. But this one it's just like it was just under par with my favourite which would be the 1,2,3 size of G. The three little words and the red death. I mean it's just not there with them whatsoever. And we will compare it to these on screen now. You can see this little sort of graph I made with all the pulse rifles I have at this point in time. I took them all into PVP last night. Looked down all their stats, calculated all their damage output etc etc. And I made this graph, took me flipping age to be honest. At the top we can see we've got the exotics, then we've got the legionaries and then we've got the one ray that I like. Which is the strategy rifle.  You can see the payment 6 is just under the three little words and above the 1,2,3 size of G. And you can see it's actually got the same rate of fire as the three little words and the red death. But both the red death and the three little words do much more damage to the body and head on average. The three little words being the most and plus it's got that head seeker as well. As standard it's just an absolute flipping tank it really is. But the payment 16, 22 to the body on average, 33 to the head, 35 with that head seeker active.   It's just not up there then really eh. And with the same rate of fire as well it's just a really, really less powerful weapon it really is. Maximum click damage is a lot less as well. It's got a quicker reload then three little words but that doesn't make up for it's lacking power it really doesn't. Overall I'm giving this weapon a 7.0 rating. I mean it's nowhere near up there with the best pull trifles in this game without a shadow of that. Maybe with a few better rolls of mines when you refold it it probably could be better. It could be better. But as standard the one I had was just it wasn't really good whatsoever. In the background now you're seeing a little bit of PvE footage where I took it to the cosmodrome and just tore into some fallen. So I enjoyed that. Let me know your opinion on this payment 16. It's actually an old weapon also. I mean you could get this as a rare weapon when the old school queen was here in the tower. But as far as I know now all the rare weapons have been upgraded to legendary. But guys thanks for stopping by. Hoping you enjoyed the video do drop a like or do appreciate the support and peace out until next time. Peace!


Our next caller is Peggy from California. Hi Peggy, how can we help you? Hi guys. I just want to say thanks for all your podcasts. I've really learned a lot from them. I'm sure you're tired of hearing that. That never gets old Peggy. So you've touched four, but my question has to do with golfers elbows. And I can give you a little history if you want. Go for it. Let's hear it. Okay. So I've been lifting since I was in my late 2063 now, but I never did progressive overload and they never had a problem with those. So I just got off a four day split six month coaching program online. And then I found you guys at the end and I decided to do anabolic because my elbows were really hurting and I should have probably cut back before I did. So I'm on anabolic. I'm in phase one week three. And my question is, should I be doing the bi curls? I can't do the barbell that I can do the dumbbell curls, but I'm doing a slow like 10 pounds rep and then, you know, squeezing the bicep at the top. Should I continue that or should I stop those until my elbows heal a little bit more? Yeah. So two things you can do with that. One, you're definitely going to have to give them time to heal. So I would say avoid exercises that tend to bother it. And then number two, and this is just personal experience, really good deep tissue massage really made a huge difference for me in this area. And when I say deep tissue, I mean your forearms are on a massage table and the therapist is getting in there pretty deep. And then you're icing them afterwards. This made a huge difference for me, but you're going to have to lay off a little bit on the exercises that are causing the issue to allow it to heal and then slowly work your way back in because all the tight gripping, the heavy deadlifting, the heavy pulling, if the inflammation's there, it's not going to go away until you back off a little bit. Well, especially with deadlifting, it bothers this big time. So I just came off of dealing with this. Absolutely Peggy, we need to have, we need to get you prime pro. This is why this program was written. So Doug, we'll send that over to you. I actually have that. Oh, okay. So and okay, so put a lot of energy and focus on the wrist and shoulder mobility. So wrist and shoulder mobility, do that for sure before you get into your workout. You can also, I would actually change out the bicep curls for Zotmin curls.  Yeah, you teach them, right? Go in there, watch how we do them, replace the bicep curls with Zotmin curls in there. That'll help. Go real light. This is correctional. You're not doing it to work out your biceps. You got to go really, really light because any type of intensity on this area is just going to make it worse. But if you do a good job on the, and this is when you know you're doing prime pro correctly too, but the intent of it is very important, right? If you just kind of go through the movements and you don't challenge the end range of motion, you won't feel it. But if you do a good job, you actually should feel instant relief in that area. And if you have one side that's worse than the other, you should see there's discrepancy in the wrist mobility on that side and or the shoulder mobility on that side. And you just want to work on that. And that's something that you can do all day through the day. So right now I find myself, because this is something I was just recently battling, getting down on all fours and doing the the wrist movements that we have in there. And it does it instantly gives me relief. Now, if you also have the luxury of being able to have a massage therapist, I would recommend that too. But you can definitely do a lot of work here just with your mobility stuff. Yeah, well, definitely highlight the fact that we got to let them heal a bit. And, you know, that's something that like, I think in terms of getting a deep tissue massage is great. But, you know, in terms of working out, like letting off a bit, but but taking this as an opportunity for when inflammation does start to to subside, that, you know, you really implement a lot of those like prime pro type movements for wrists and shoulders. So that way you can prime yourself properly before going back into the to the workouts. So you know, this problem we can wreak we can sort of correct the patterns that you had beforehand that was actually causing this issue to occur. One more thing too, if you want to try a natural anti inflammatory, this doesn't solve the problem, but it might help get you to the point where you feel better a little faster. You can try supplementing with bromelain, just make sure you take it on an empty stomach. So two or three times a day, you could take some bromelain pills or capsules on an empty stomach. So not with food, otherwise it acts totally different. And you should notice a significant improvement in the inflammation, but let it heal completely before you go back and start pushing the exercises, don't wait until it feels a little better.  So the deadlifts actually aggravate it because that this is my first time doing deadlifts in the last six months. And I really like them. Oh, I mean, do I need anything that involves needing a strong grip or that involves pulling will aggravate it. So just go real light, practice the technique in the form. Yeah. And the guys may disagree with me here. So that again, I've been dealing with this right now. So what I did was this is where while I'm working on this for it to heal, I've been using wrist wraps when I do my deadlift. So then and the thing you got to be careful of is that's a bandaid temporary. I know that it's not like you don't want to just forever now deadlift with wrist wraps, you want to address the issue. But if I'm trying to get ease back into my deadlifting, I'm still working on the golfer's elbow. And so this just I just did this yesterday when I deadlifted, I just used my wrist wraps to help so I don't put as much stress on the golfer's elbow. So that's not a permanent fix. That's a temporary fix while you work on this. So try that too. Okay, thanks a lot guys. No problem. Yeah, those wrist wraps, man. I mean, that's I'm dealing with this right now. No, I mean, it's like if you want to continue doing the movement, but you want to also lay off of the the muscles of the forearm, I mean, I mean, it's a similar, you know, thought process with with like physiotape like where you're trying to sort of isolate the problematic type of movement or the muscles that respond to that and calm them down while still being able to do some of the movement. So there's value in that in terms of like staying active and being able to do movements, but still you got to bring the intensity down quite a bit. I'll tell you though, years ago, this was an issue and it was a challenge and I would get better and I get worse and I had one, one and a half hour session with a massage therapist and all she did was work on my forearms and it was gnarly, but I swear to God, one session gone. It was gone, completely gone within a couple of days. So it can make a pretty big impact depending. No, it makes a huge impact to get a nice massage like that. This is a common area when I was bodybuilding that Katrina would have to work on all the time and it just, but the main reason why she had to continue to work on it was because I didn't address the root cause, which is the wrist mobility stuff. So I mean, even now you'll catch, I mean, right after she starts, you saw me doing this, like if you take it and hopefully she's on the YouTube channel so she can watch this, where I'll just take in the contracted position, right? Contract my bicep in the fully contracted position and then I'm going to rotate my wrist as hard as I can on both directions at the end range of motion. I'm trying to challenge turning it all the way. You can do this all day long, you know, so and try and do that.  But Jackie Kennedy. But the key to this, you know, when we teach mobility stuff that I think where people go wrong is they just, they do this, right? They just go through and they stop at the end range where the where the relief will happen is taking to the end range and challenging trying to continue to rotate it and intensifying that. Yep. Yep.
