Welcome to St. Leveau's World Cinema. I'm your hostess, Betty St. Leveau. On this show, we talk about foreign movies and I try not to give too many statistics. I just kind of want to talk about the films. We're going to look at two today in particular. I wanted to wrap up Hong Kong filmmaking and the Nigerian film industry. I'm going to go more into the Nigerian film industry because I think this archivist that I came across, Osford, has an incredible, incredible encyclopedia that I really need to delve more deeply into in order to discuss the history of filmmaking there. At the same time, I'm going to hit on it maybe a little bit towards the end of this episode. We're going to focus on one French movie and one movie made in Hong Kong. First, we're going to start off with Jean-Win-Wong's Beautiful, The Rules of the Game. It was produced by Claude Win-Wong and Jean-Jean, made by the Gouement Film Company. It was released July 7, 1939. It runs about 110 minutes. It had a budget of five million, five to a hundred thousand, and five hundred dollars. I hope I read that right. Marcelle D'Aliot, Noah Greger, Paulette de Voste, Roland Totain, Jean-Win-Wong, Mila Parley, Gaston Maudotte, and Pierre McNair make up the cast, and you can see that the director was also in the movie. My father was the famous painter. I want to say Auguste Renoir. Hope I got that right. Now, the plot's a little convoluted. I first saw it as a teenager at Dartmouth Film Society, and I totally, totally enjoyed it. As the years go on, I see it as not as fun as I thought, but I still love this movie very much. It's a comedy of manners, but when it came out, the critics treat it like an episode of Golden Girls, unfortunately. And I'll go into that in a minute. Now, part of the plot is there's an aviator in love with a Marquis's wife. The Marquis is getting tired of his mistress, so the Marquis and another friend try to get the aviator and the mistress together. Hope that makes sense. His wife is tired of her lover, and the husband's tired of his lover. France is so not like America, okay? Especially 1930s or 40s or 50s America.  Octave, Octave, played by the director, Jean-Romain, is sort of the go-between between all of them. He's actually one of the nicest characters in the whole flicker. The production was, it came together because Jean-Claire Julien Dormel, Jean Gabin, the actor who was lover of Marlena Dietrich, and Simone Simon, formed a production company like United Artists over here. Mary Pitford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks. The artists wanted to control their product, all right? But the movie, which is a lot like The Marriage of Figaro, and what's that other? The Midsummer Night's Dream didn't play well with a audience who was witnessing the partition of Austria by Germany and the evasion of Poland. And so, as Jean-Romain was trying to illustrate the cynicism of people whose lives were about to be changed forever, no one wanted to see it, no one liked it. They actually probably didn't like it because they knew things were not going to stay the same, and that the world was changing. And over in Europe in the last 50 years, before World War II, it certainly was changing quite a bit. Now in real life, Nora was the wife of Prince Ernst-Rüdiger von Stahenberg, and he was an anti-fascist. When the initials happened, they moved to France, she was Jewish, and Jean Castor in the movie ended up falling in love with her even though his love wasn't required. When the movie came out, anti-fascist groups made demonstrations, they heckled the movie, made it really hard for the movie to be seen because she was Jewish. The political situation was tense, but the set was a happy one. The director kept everyone happy. When war was declared, a bunch of men left to enlist. Many electricians and technicians left to join the French army when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia on March 16, 1939. So this hampered the production. Even though he fell in love with the actress, he ended up marrying the family nanny shortly. He commenced the relationship with her after the filming was done and she became Mrs. Benoit eventually. He wanted to screen it at the World's Fair in New York City, but it had had such a bad reception in France, he decided not to bring it over. One historian said that Nora, the lead character's performance, this lady that the director was so in love with, was haunting in the witching as looking at a plastic giraffe. That's up there with Sybil Sheppard's performance in Last Long Love, all the charisma of a dead hamster. Sometimes it's not easy on the actress, especially when the director has his heart set on you and maybe someone else should have done the part, correct? So I find that this happens frequently. Back in the day in France, Jean Cocteau would do a play or Savinsky would do some ballet. And sure enough, the movie was booed all the hell by the right wingers. There were fights. Someone tried to set the fire to the theater, but I think that even happened with Voltaire back before the French Revolution. So to me it's almost yawn, but of course they were going to try to burn the place down. Now, the post script to all of that, Italy had also annexed Albania and Franco was in Spain. Before World War II, the map was different. During the war, the map was different and after the war, the map changed, right? And so did certain ways of thinking. After World War I and after World War II in Europe and England, people wanted to be more relaxed. They didn't want to, they'd seen so much destruction and death, they wanted to be happy. And so the upswing of that was that the movie started to become accepted after a while. So when the bad press was happening, Renoir did everything to appease the critics in the public. He cut scenes. He cut scenes of himself out. He thought because he put himself in the movie, it detracted from the plot. Actually, he's a lynchpin. He's very important to the plot. The critics said it was depressing and moral morbid. It had an undesirable influence on the young. However, it's a war film that doesn't have a speck of war in it, which I also liked it too. I knew a little bit of history. Back then I understood it was a post World War II movie. So what ended up happening was that the film lab was bombed in 1942. In 1946, the 85 millimeter print was copied. In 1950, they thought about reissuing it. In 1952, it was put out in theaters again. It was declared one of the greatest films by Sight and Sound. In 1956, the excisions that Jean-Noir had did were restored. In mid-1959, when Noir saw all that was restored, except for this one little bit of him that they didn't find, he cried. He loved it. The Venice Stone Festival called it a masterpiece. I think there are three reasons why this is a great movie. Pardon me. Number one, the deep-focused photography, some critics said. Number two, Mr. Paul Mooney. People believe what they see. And as the French audience and the French critics were watching this movie, they believed what they saw. They saw the mirror image of their own society, decadent, about to be transformed, and they didn't want to see it. So they believed that that was actually the way society was. Of course, that's not the way society is, but... And then three, the critic Robin Wood said, This film operates on all levels, and it certainly does. When I was watching it, I liked it on my emotional level. I loved what I was watching it on my physical level.  I like all types of movies. I really loved French movies back then. I loved listening to different languages. I don't mind reading a film. So I really enjoyed it. As I get older and see it again, it's not that it's depraved or immoral. It's a little cynical, a little silly to me. These people running around trying to fix one another's lives. But one of the actresses in the movie, if I can find her name, Paulette de Beauce plays a maid, a character called Lissette. I wonder where I've heard that name before. And usually when you do see the name Lissette in novels, she's always a maid, or usually a maid. Now, there is a quote summing all this up. Each click has its own rules, and you must follow the rules of the game that the click says in order to stay within the click, which I thought was pretty interesting. I saw clicks in high school, but I don't really experience them much as an adult. I also came across a term called Objective Humanism, which kind of scares the heck out of me.  Very annoying. We all have emotions, feelings, and this chair certainly exists. So the next movie I would like to discuss, which is very, very much shared in my haul, is Wong-Kong-Wai's Chunking Express. This has Takeshi Kenshiro as He-Qual, Tony Leong-Chui as Cop 663, Takeshi Kenshiro plays Oh-Wa, Cop 223. Bridget Nguyen, looking like Red Bobble, Fei Wong plays Fei, Tom Baker, Chen Kong as Chen, Quan Li as Na, Wong Chi-Ming, Ling Song and Zhou Cheng-Sing. The film posters were designed by Sydney Wong, and Fei Wong, who plays one of the heroines in the movie, is a big pop singer. She's bigger in China than Madonna is over here. And when you watch Quentin Tarantino's edition of Chunking Express, and I think it's out of print, he does an intro and outro. And at one point behind him, you see her in some crazy outfits, and it looks great. She's a real rock star, this gal. Okay, it came out in March, in 1996, on March 8th, it had a limited run. It was under Quentin's Rolling Thunder, which is a production, it was a subsidiary of Miramax. And it also belongs to Criterion Collection. Now, both versions are out of print, I think. I happen to own a version on VHS, which makes me so happy. I haven't seen it around my library lately, but I know I've got it. Criterion has resumed the rights, and as of last month, you can catch it streaming on the Criterion channel, and please do, it's one of my favorite movies in the whole world. Okay, so Wonka Wai made this while he was editing. He made this while he was on a two-month break, making his opus Ashes in Time. The screenplay was not complete before the filming began. He wrote the second story, their two stories. The second story is my favorite. The third story he wrote became, he wrote three stories, but he left the third story out of the movie. The third story became a plot concerning a hit man in love called Fallen Angels, all right? So Wonka grew up in Toussaint Chasseau, and he wanted to film the movie where he had grown up. Now, what do you think? I wonder if we should go into the plot. We'll go into the plot first, and then we'll go into the meaning of Chunking Express. All right. Two policemen in two different stories are in love with two very different women. The stories kind of overlap. The first story concerns a young man whose lover, May, or in the month of May, has left him, and he's very sad. And he runs into this sort of spy, hit lady named, she's a gal in the blonde wig, and that's who Bridget Lynn is playing. Bridget Lynn, by the way, is, I said she's looking like Greta Gauble. She is Asia's Greta Gauble. She fantastic film career, went into retirement years ago. I think that she's so retired. The second story has to do with another policeman. That's Tony Leong. I love him. And his lady has left him also, but the girl who works in the grocery store has plans for him, all right? So both these men are dealing with a breakup, and both of them are cops and both doing their jobs, but they're both so heartbroken in so many different ways. Mr. Takeshi Kenshiro's cop, he's just kind of, he kind of young looking, and he's like sappy sad, but Tony Leong, he's like desperate sad. It's really something to watch. And something to watch Fei Wong pull her life together while she's helping him out too. You're going to love it. Now, this is shot in a place called Chun King Mansions, and basically, we don't have anything like this here. I've got the coordinates for it. 22, 17, 46, 94 North. 114, 1020, .89 East, all right? It's 3644, Nathan Road in Hong Kong. Tsim Sha Tsung Kowloon is a district, and it's a Kowloon-walled city. It has guest houses, curry restaurants, African bistros, sorry stores, foreign exchange offices. It's called the Unofficial African Quarter of Kowloon, okay? 4,000 people live there, and it was built in 1961. There are 17 stories, and there was, I think, there was ABCDE. Middle Easterners, Nigerians, Europeans, Southeast Asians, such as Sierra Lankans, Bangladeshi, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Indian, and Americans live there. Professor Gordon Matthew in 2007 said 120 nationalists passed through Chun King Mansions in one year. When I go to Hong Kong, I would love to see it. What a place. We just don't have anything like that. So he shot it there, and when you see a lot of the chase scenes, you're seeing Chun King Mansions. When you're seeing Tony Leong's apartment, that's the apartment of, I want to say, the second assistant director, or one of the screeners. It was one of the crew's apartments that they shot that story in. Love, love, love, love, love it. So I really would like you all to check that one out. And I haven't seen Ashes in Time or Fallen Angels, but I would love to. Wong Kawa is one of my favorite directors, and he's one of the fathers of Hong Kong cinema. So that will do it for that one. Beautiful, beautiful movie, and the soundtrack has a couple songs that will be familiar to you. There's Madison and Papa St. in California Dreaming, and then the Cranberry song at the end, Dream, is sung by Faye Wong and Kat Meese. So I think that that's it. Let's see. It made $7,678,549 Hong Kong. It opened on a weekend and went to gross only $600,000 to $200,000. But a little known gem, please check that out. Now, for my Nigerian segment, I would like you all, again, to read the Nigerian Filmmakers Guide to Success written by Nadia Denton, and it predicts the future of the industry and looks beyond Nollywood, okay? It's a $3.3 billion-a-year industry. Oh, this is incredible, all right? That's a lot of money. However, Pirate sees a problem, and the producers don't see their money a lot of the time, all right? They don't really see any payback from that. I think that that's it for me today. I'm your hostess, Betty St. LaVoe. You've been watching St. LaVoe's World Cinema here at WALCA. I'd like to thank the General Building for its continued support over the years, Kellogg Hubbard Library in particular, and my mother, Sharon Ardella, Paris, Warfield, Oceania, Claridge, who taught me to appreciate great movies, especially foreign ones. Until next time, baby, stay away from those bad movies. Ciao.

One note's going on in your world and the world of the S&P's. Let's take a look at them. What do you have? Well, let's bring up the futures first. We know, we just did the spy. The spy has, the contraction of volume is pretty dramatic out here today folks. And you know, you're going after highs. So we take a look at the spy. Whoops, not that way. Let's do, bring it back. Let's do this one. Oh, let me do this again. There we go. Okay, so bring up there with the mini. That's what we're looking at here. Same deal. Yeah, it doesn't mean it can't go right to the high though of yesterday. The high of yesterday was 4,021. And that's what it looks like it wants to do. It's going to go up there and test it and have like volume. Let's, NQ's, let's go look at the NQ's. See what we have the NQ's here. NQ's, we take a look at that. You're already above that yesterday. The NQ's, let's see. That high of yesterday was 579. Oh, look at that, we hit 578. Okay, same deal. This is just the test of highs, dramatically lighter volume. And if you're a bull, this is what you didn't want folks. That's the bottom line.  We take a look at the volume, how we come in here. You know, yesterday you did 918. Yeah, yeah, you can do 900 today. You're at 430 right now. We'll see where that shakes out at the end of the day. And the composite, we take a look at the composite. You're at 3, not the composites. That's like 3.8. That's not going to do 1.8 million. No, that's not going to do 100. Yeah, it's not even close. So let me look at this composite because the composite. Okay, so the composites, yeah. You're coming into the down draft of the bottom line. That's a monster contraction. Gold, we go to the gold contract. We take a look at the gold contract. Now I'm going to put the continuous contract up here because the bottom line is that what you have is that, you know, there's no doubt.  You're talking about from 1719 up to 1925. And if we take this and put this, first thing I'm going to do is do this on a weekly. Let's see what we have. Yeah, I mean, the next swing point up here is 1997. You know, the gap is, oh, I see. The gap is 1930. We hit 1925. So that's, have to make it through the gap first. But the bottom line is that, you know, if we've had volume every day, that's inside the contract that is. Now let's go to the silver market. We take a look at the silver market. Doesn't, that's a wild man. The silver market doesn't mean that it kind of go break highs, but, you know, yesterday, bottom line, we did 73,000 contracts. Today we're at 55. Let me go look at the yen because the yen, we have, we have this, let me look at this. Okay, so, yeah, so this is operating correctly now. I mean, every time the yen would come down, you'd have a big day on gold and that's what's happening out here.  So this is the yen, let me see, a little 15 years. One, okay, so we're probably heading for 125.86. If you get back inside 125.86, then the bottom line is that you can actually really make it down to 99, which would just be a total mind blow up. Let's go to, well, first, now let's go to bed, bath and beyond first because I know folks are buying this and I'm telling you flat out, you know, if you want to buy it and day trade it, that's one thing, okay? Do not hold this overnight. You're going to wake up in the morning, they're going to be bankrupt. They're going to be bankrupt in the next week, week and a half. I mean, it's already, it's not that it's on the table, they were already looking for bankrupt vices and they're also looking in order to basically, you know, get it done, meaning go into bankruptcy, come back out of bankruptcy. You know, this is going to be worth nothing overnight. It's just at some point. Well, and I get it, maybe you made a lot of money when the last one was supposed to go BK and didn't go BK and then it still went up. So I get that too, but that's the same. Tesla, bottom line, this was quite an announcement by Tesla, you know, meaning the amount of price reductions out there, you know? So this is just still bouncing on the bottom, nothing heavy really, you know? You got it at $1.96 and you know, the amount of discounts are incredible though, if you haven't seen them yet, their federal price would be six and a half percent all the way up to 20% and then what they did, the one with the 20% one, they were pretty smart with what they did actually. They brought it under the price target that they would be available for tax credits. That's the bottom line and so you get a double banger. That's what it comes down to. Let's go take a look at PPL. Oh, PPL, I'll see what we got here. Okay, this is a utility holding company. It's paying 2.9% dividend. Put this on a weekly. Oh yeah, I mean, that has volume up there, Frank, and it wants to break, yeah. I mean, it went over it, it has the volume, we'll probably actually get over and stay over it.


So let's just go ahead and get started and this is, tonight is going to be mostly very informal just talking about ethics in the American Academy of Ophthalmology. All of you guys, when you become members of the academy will actually sign something that says that you will abide by the rules of ethics of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Most people don't even remember doing that. It's interesting, I joined the ethics committee about six years ago. I became the chair in January and it's amazing to me how often I talk to senior ophthalmologists and they go, we have an ethics committee. I didn't know we had an ethics committee. I go, yeah, well, we've got a code of ethics and rules of ethics. Never heard of that. So the biggest part of what we do is to educate, just sort of help people think about how to practice ophthalmology in an ethical way. Now, one of the other hats that I wear is I'm on the board of directors for OMIC, which is the Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company. And I sit on the underwriting committee and also sit on the claims committee. And one of the things that we do is we give a lot of advice to people, basically how to stay out of the courtroom. And it's interesting, so much of what we tell people in ethics is almost exactly the same stuff we tell people in OMIC when we're giving advice, malpractice advice. So basically, ethical medicine is just good medicine. And if you think about, you know, we talk about living consciously, we talk about practicing consciously and think about how you do things in these situations. It's good for your patients. And in the long run, it's going to be good for you guys to help keep you out of trouble. So what I wanted to do tonight was just really just throw out some vignettes and then let you guys talk about how you've seen things handled and how you think things might ought to be handled. So one of the things that comes up from time to time with the ethics committee is how to handle residents doing surgery. So this is a little vignette that I came up with. A resident working at the VA is consenting a vet for cataract surgery. This was something I did hundreds of times. This is the resident's first cataract. Inevitably, you get asked this question. The vet wants to know how many cases the resident has done. And you kind of get that little fear that if I'm completely honest with him, he's going to go somewhere else. The resident is afraid that he'll lose the case if he's completely honest. Have any of you guys ever encountered this situation or a situation like this? Yeah. So what do you do? Well, so typically as an intern here, you know, one can second for the one with a senior surgery. So that's like, so how many of these done? How many of these, you kind of screw around.  And they're going to have a senior surgeon with them who's done thousands of these problems and they're going to be a big outcome. So kind of screw around and be honest. And do you always have a tending with you when you're operating at the VA, even when you're a third year? Excellent. That's not the case of a lot of programs. In fact, at my program, God, it was a wild, wild west. I mean, we were there and you could go for your entire senior year and never see it in attending at the VA. So it was sort of that, you know, the second year is teaching the first years and third year is teaching the second years. And then as a first year, you're sort of the scout monkey for the third year is doing all the, and this is back in the day. I mean, this is archaic. We used to do chest x-rays and CBCs and diffs and the whole, all that work up on all these patients. You're going to encounter this, some of you guys very soon when you get out in private practice and start seeing patients for the first time. You're in a kind of a protected position there because I think in the armed forces, we have a lot of these guys in Colorado Springs, which is where I'm from. We have the Air Force Academy, which has its own hospital, and Fort Carson, which has its own hospital.  You don't ask questions. But if you go out into private practice, like me, the first two patients I signed up for surgery, I'm an ocular plastic guy, called later on the same day and canceled. Because they said I didn't look like I was old enough to know what I was doing. So here's another sort of vignette. This is a vignette where the resident is staffed by an attending. So the attending talks to the vet and assures him that he will be doing the case, but a resident will assist him because he needs another set of hands. After the rex, this is made, the attending and the resident quietly changed places and the resident does the fec-o. Everything goes well. Should he tell the patient when he sees him and follow up that he did the case? Does that matter? I don't think after the fact that I think that upfront, you need to consent the patient correctly and you need to say, you know what, the people assist me and do parts of the procedure that they are able and have documented success doing, I will be in charge and I'm the captain of the ship. But just like any venture, I have people that help me and I have them do parts of the case. I think that's how you say it and you say, but I'm in charge and if they say, well, I don't like you to do the case, then that becomes an ethical dilemma of whether you do the case or not, in my opinion. Yeah, what would you do in that case? I would say I operate with residents and fellows and this is the way it is and if you don't want that system, that's the system I operate in so you can go see somebody else. You know, if it's not an emergent thing, I think that's a reasonable thing to do. If it's an emergency, I think you just have to respect the patient's wishes and go ahead and do the surgery. Otherwise, I would just say, you know what, I operate with trainees, they do parts of the procedure that I am comfortable and know that they can do appropriately and that's the way I operate. And so for me, that's what I'll do. I think that sounds pretty much ideal. I think that's exactly what you should do. Sort of the overriding theme here should be disclosure. You know, you always want to do what's in the patient's best interest and if you're always sort of thinking about what's in the patient's best interest. Now, different people have different interpretations about what's in the patient's best interest, you know. And, well, before my time, it was felt that it wasn't in the patient's best interest necessarily to give them bad news like you have terminal cancer and you would hide that from them. You might tell the family members but you wouldn't tell the patient. Of course, we all know that that just wouldn't fly today. So what if you, and when you do this, the term for this is ghost surgery and I've seen that happen in my training program back in the day where either the senior resident or the attending slides back and kind of does this to the junior resident and the junior resident slides in and sort of takes over and the senior resident or the attending keeps talking and so the patient sort of thinks that they're the one doing the surgery. So if everything goes well, you think maybe you don't need to tell them, what if things don't go well? What if something goes really south when the resident or the fellow is the one sort of driving? What do you do in that case? As a fellow or as the attending? Either. What do you do as the fellow? Your responsibility to kind of train as you're told to train and I think it's not your place to disclose anything to the patient in a, you know, but I think it would be reasonable to tell the attending, hey, we got to tell the patient that this is what's going on. But again, it's kind of, you know, I take it as like the captain, the ship approach where if you're the attending on the case, you're responsible for everything that happens in the case, whether you're doing it or not. Those two parts that you choose to delegate, you're still responsible for the outcome of that. So this is true. So, you know, so that's kind of how I like to view it. Anybody else have a different idea? I think it's still on the attending and they, you know, they're the one delegating it would be up to them to do it. What if you're seeing the patient in follow-up two weeks later and they say, what happened? You say, well, did doctor so-and-so talk to you and they go, no, no one's told me anything. Do you go to the attending and say, hey, you need to tell this lady or do you tell this lady? Any other, any other opinion? I think you disclose, if there hasn't been any discussion of the facts of what happened, I think it's completely reasonable to say X, Y, and Z happened. And I don't think you need to necessarily get into, you know, I mean, again, I wouldn't want to be put in that situation and even as a fellow, I usually try to avoid that situation. And, you know, but if they ask me straight out and it hasn't been explained that who was doing the case, they say, oh, was that your handiwork that happened just the other day and there was a patient in post-op that I was seeing and I was going to see him on a Saturday.  And I was like, yes, it was. The doctor testing and I were both working, but, you know, I was the one inside the eye, he was working on the outside of the eye and takes two people and this is what he was doing, this is what I was doing because I was asked, but. If things had not gone well, what would you have said? Same thing. Putting on my other hat, we had a case in Olmick not long ago which was very similar to this. And the patient only found out once litigation had started, actually litigation hadn't started, it was sort of pre-litigation where the lawyers were trying to figure out what had happened and that's when they found out that it was actually a fellow that was doing the case at the time it happened and that had never been disclosed to them. And I can tell you right there that you start out behind the eight ball when you're in that position. So again, basically the overriding idea behind most of what we talk about in ethics is just trying to find what's in the patient's best interest and sort of a good rule of thumb is what would you wanna be told or how would you wanna be treated in a similar situation? Here's another one, another vignette that comes up from time to time. So a young ophthalmologist is just four years out of residency and wants to start doing a new surgical technique that she's never, that she was never taught during her residency. She works out in a rural area, several hours from the closest university setting. How can she start doing the new surgery and continue to practice in an ethical fashion? So what is your, what area are you going into? And do you know where you wanna go? Let's say you end up in rural Montana and you're a general ophthalmologist and you wanna do something like DSEC comes out that a new techniques are invented all the time and this is something that you wanna start doing but you've never done it before and you've only read about it. How do you think you would handle that? I think that's exactly right. That is the original first step. What about when you get home and you're getting ready to do your first one? How do you approach that?  Yeah, I think you have to have all the reasons to do it and you just have to tell them that. Yeah, and I think a big part of that is choosing the right patients. And what you'll find is that when you probably see the same thing now, you get people that completely trust you, no holds apart. The vets are real big like that. They're like, whatever you wanna do is fine. And you're like, well, no, I get this all the time when I ask people to sign my informed consent. They go, I don't need to read a doctor, I trust you. And I tell them, I know you trust me. It's not a matter of trust. It's a matter of being informed, knowing exactly what's gonna happen and so you can anticipate or you can ask me questions and that sort of thing. So it's not a matter of trust. It's a matter, because this is another thing I hear frequently. And they go, oh yeah, the CYA paperwork. And I go, no, it's not CYA. It's to inform you about what's going on because you can sign a hundred of these and still sue me. I mean, there's no reason why you can't. But picking those patients that you have a good rapport with and maybe ones that don't have a lot of other options. You know, choosing the 24 year old who has already pretty decent vision is maybe not the one that you wanna try a new technique on. The 84 year old who doesn't wanna have a corneal graft and maybe this would be a way to avoid that. Maybe that's a good choice. Have you guys run it? We'll do that though. I mean, that's an assumption, but... You can almost kind of avoid that too. There's always people who are doing these procedures who are willing to come out to your practice for a fee, obviously. But you can get people to travel out from somewhere else and say, hey, can you come proctor me on my first three or four? And then that way when it comes up, you can say, well, I've done procedures like this, but I've never done this exact procedure.  I know how to do this, but he's got the experience to take over or do something if something were to come to that. You can usually find somebody or you can travel to them and do the same thing, proctorship or mentorship. So it's not like your training is over and you're on your own with nobody to help you in the future. There are people that are available to help. What do you guys think? And I know that Moran's sort of known now, I think for international work. What do you think about going to a foreign country as a sort of newly minted resident and doing cases on people that don't speak your language and you can't have any real communication with and to a certain degree, you're using them sort of, I don't wanna say as guinea pigs, but you're really getting your feet wet. I mean, what's your thinking about that? I think that, especially here at a lot of the international stuff, there's like us kind of learning from them just kind of how they're able to make do with what they've got and I think there are some, there are things that like our new trainees have that they can offer. They go to places where there's like one person that can't do FACO. So they're doing, they'll do like Intracal for every case and so if you have 300, that's 300 more than they have. You can probably get a better result. And it's not always just like getting a better result but sometimes it's us learning too. I know some groups will put on seminars in third world country type things, Mexico or Costa Rica or Brazil where you can go down for a week and do a bunch of cases. But this has come in front of the ethics committee. Is this ethical? Is this, you're basically using these poor people from Rio as fodder to learn how to do some new technique. Another one that has come up that has been a problem is live surgery at some of these international meetings. It was a case and I think it was Thailand where the doctor was doing live surgery and this was some cardiothoracic stuff. He was performing live surgery in an operating room but it was being transmitted electronically to this large conference. And the patient developed a problem and there was bleeding that they couldn't stop and they were doing something laparoscopic using like Da Vinci sort of instrumentation. Anyway, the patient ended up dying. And the question was, was this truly informed consent? Did this patient really understand what was going on? And the thing is the doctor who was doing the surgery was not from that country. And so it became a big issue. So this has come up in front of our ethics committee and what are our recommendations concerning live surgery in situations like this? Is that ethical to allow someone to do that? Is that an ethical way to train? It's a fair amount different situation. One is, so I'm pretty involved with Orbus. One of the differences is that with Orbus we're working with the local doctors and so they're the ones who bring the patients and so the way an Orbus week works is when you basically say on Monday you're in a room like this with some of the local doctors and then they start bringing in the patients. And you have an idea of what it is you want to teach that week. You wanna teach them how to do DCRs. And so you say that's a good, that will be a good patient. That's not a good patient. She has too many heart issues or this guy has uncontrolled blood pressure issues.  Now when you do the surgery there's two ways of doing the surgery. Sometimes you're doing surgery in their hospital and sometimes you're doing it on the plane. And when you do it on the plane you're scrubbed in with one of the local doctors and this is his patient. He's gonna take care of this patient when you guys leave. So it's kind of like a, almost like an attending resident sort of scenario. And true it is being videotaped and have you guys ever been on the Orbis plane? Orbis is a phenomenal program to be involved with if you get a chance I highly recommend it.  And the operating room is just absolutely amazing because they have every instrument you could possibly want and they have cameras everywhere so they can see you and you're wearing a mic and then there's a camera on the microscope and all that stuff. So as you're doing the surgery the moderator's asking you questions and so when you talk everyone in the room does it, why are you using that suture or why are you tying it that way, that sort of thing? So it's, it is live surgery but it's a different situation as opposed to imagine like one of these big academy type meetings and there's just some patient somewhere that's being piped in and he doesn't know that he's being piped in front of all these people and he doesn't understand necessarily that it's gonna be a foreign doctor operating on him alone. So these are kind of questions that come up in front of us on a regular basis. So we talked a little bit about informed consent. This is one of the bigger issues that we deal with. Both on the Ethics Committee and with OMIC is informed consent. I'll talk more about informed consent tomorrow but if you read the academies, it's rule number two when we talk about informed consent it says that the surgeon has to be the one obtaining informed consent, right? Not the resident, not the nurse, not the first year, the surgeon, whoever that surgeon is. And I know back in when I was training both when I was a resident and when I was a fellow I think I did basically 100% of the informed consent for the, you know. So how about this one, in attending does the fellow see and work up the patient including going over the risks and benefits of cataract destruction? The attending steps into the room takes a quick look through the slit lamp to evaluate the cataract and notices some zonular dehiscence. He then discusses the case quickly with a fellow and asks the patient if they have any questions. Was informed consent obtained? Now, one of the things that happens to me frequently I say, do you have any questions? You know, when you kind of get this deer in the headlight look and they go, no. And I go, well, you should. In fact, question number one that you should ask me have I ever done this before? Question number two is what's my worst outcome? Question number three is, has anyone ever died or gone blind from, you know, these are questions you should be asking me. And then that'll often stimulate. And sometimes what you'll find is that grandma comes in with her daughter and grandma says, no, I don't have any questions. And the daughter goes, well, I have some questions. And in fact, quite often the family members are brave enough to ask you how many people have you ever made blind with this sort of surgery, where the patient is too embarrassed to ask you that. So what do you think? Was that informed consent? Case all ready. So when the patient has questions or as you're telling the patient, this may be a little more difficult on the counteract surgery than just a straightforward counteract surgery. This is kind of one to expect. But these are also some higher risks with your case than just your typical everyday counteract. So I think that needs to be discussed and made out at that point, rather than we're signing up for a counteract surgery, you know, everything should go well. And what do you think about the fact that the attending's interaction with that particular patient was simply, do you have any questions? No, okay, bye. Yes, I think the attending needs to have more input in that discussion initially, but they should be probably the one presenting most of the information about the actual surgery, potential complications. There is a complication you've gotten that from that. They're gonna be the ones answering that the only need to build that rapport as the attending from seven days later when something has happened and now trying to scramble it. Well, so one of the things we're gonna talk a little bit about tomorrow with informed consent is the fact that informed consent is not the piece of paper. Informed consent is a discussion you have. That piece of paper that you sign only says that informed consent was done. That's all it is. So too often when I was a resident, I'd just say you just need to sign this right here. And of course they're gonna sign it. And I don't think anything near or even close to informed consent was obtained in so many of these surgeries that I did because I didn't really know. All I was told is that they're supposed to sign this form. So one of the things that we see in ethics, one of the sort of challenges that's brought up frequently is when a case where you have a cataract surgeon who's very busy and he has hired X number of optometrists to work for him. And the optometrists see all the new patients and they work them up for cataract surgery. And then the only time they actually see the surgeon is on the day of surgery. And fairly often the scenario is the patient's laying in the operating room, getting ready to pull the microscope over and the surgeon leans over and says, do you have any questions? No. And then they do surgery. And I can tell you that when things don't go well and sometimes they don't go well, I mean, that's just surgery. Those patients tend to be very unhappy if I'd have been told this or this or this. And as far as omic is concerned, that's a hard case to defend. That's a hard case to defend. Have you guys ever seen or heard of situations like this? Some, you know, sometimes we do not necessarily that exact thing, but even as fellows here, when we see patients after hours, especially as a second year, you know, second year fellow, typically the attending is not coming in to evaluate that patient. And they say, okay, yes, they've got a Mac off attachment, sign them up for Thursday, and they meet them in the pre-op area. So they usually don't, I mean, they're not hiding from the patient, but a lot of our patients come from a long ways away and they're not coming in at 1 a.m. to see a Mac off attachment that they're not gonna do anything about. So a patient's not gonna stay around, so they meet them on the day of surgery and most of them are very darn good about talking to them.  Yep. And you know, that's kind of a gray area where it's in between. It's still the day of surgery, higher stress time, you know, they're already in a gown, laying on the table, their eyes starting to be dilated, you know, in the pre-op area and so. It's not ideal, but they're granted their situations. And in fact, that's kind of the, one of the fun things about ethics is there's no cut and dry way of doing everything. You know, you're doing what's in the patient's best interest. And sometimes with patients that are coming from far away, you know, you do what you have to do or patients that are in the middle of the night, you know, we've all operated, I've certainly, I do a lot of trauma and I've operated on a lot of patients where there was no family member around and we couldn't get informed consent, you know. So we get what's called three dot consent, where you have three doctors sign the consent form and say, this guy needs surgery, he's gonna go blind or don't die or something like that. So, yes, there are always mitigating circumstances. And again, if it's in the patient's best interest in situations like that, then that's what you do. But I think, again, we're in the omicat, it's always good to cover yourself to be able to say, you know, yes, this isn't my standard way of doing things, but your situation's different. Is there anything, any questions you'd like to ask me? And it's always good. I always like to have the family members in the pre-op area next to the patient. And I say, do you guys have any questions about what's gonna happen? And so one of the situations we've seen in cases like this with omic is that when a patient has only been talked to the doctor on the day of surgery, the plaintiff's lawyer, the patient's lawyer, in that case that's gone bad, makes a really good case for this patient was never, they signed a piece of paper, yeah, but they were never understood, they were never told what was gonna happen.   One of the things that, again, we'll talk about this tomorrow as well, omic is real big on and something that I do with all my patients now, I didn't do this before, but after I joined to omic and learned about this, I do this with every patient is I have them sign the consent form in the office and typically what happens is I sit down and talk to the patient, we're gonna be doing a DCR on you and this is what's involved in a DCR and this is what's gonna happen on day number one after the surgery and then I'm gonna see you at two weeks, et cetera, et cetera. And then my nurse comes in with a consent form and we have them sign the consent form, then we make a copy of that consent form and we send them home with it. So it'd be really hard for that patient to say, I didn't really know what was going on. Really, because the doctor talked with you and then he actually sent you home with a piece of paper and we're also, omic is real big on procedure specific consent forms as opposed to the, I allow Dr. Blank to do blank, the following risks are and then you just circle all that stuff. That's probably not a great way of doing it. So what I did was I took some of these little brochures that you get from the Academy that explain, this is what a retinal detachment is, this is what nasal icon reductive obstruction is and I sort of use that to write out my consent form and so it's in fairly plain language. Let's move on. So, yes. I want your video. I don't think so, because at that point they can't, you say do you have any questions? If you then sit down with them and say, you saw the video, do you have any questions about the video? And yes, I think that's probably, that's educational material. That's good. But I think if they don't have a chance to actually answer your, you know, ask questions and get them answered, that's probably not really informed consent. I'm on a concert next door. Who doesn't like the Beatles, right? Minor complications. So you're operating on a patient for left cataract extraction as you put in the lens, you inject just a little bit too fast and you rip the bag, okay? So you evaluate very closely and you notice that the rip's really small and very carefully you maneuver the lens and get it in the bag. No vitreous is seen and the rest of the case goes easily. What do you do? Do you tell the patient? Tell the patient about the rip? What do you think? What would you tell him? We had a case very similar to this. And the problem was the patient wasn't told. And then a couple of weeks later they come in and now the lens is sunsetting. And they're like, what happened? Doctor at that point kind of felt like, well, I can't really tell them that I saw it happen. And then the case ended up with lawyers involved and then there it was in the operative report. But the patient was never told. So most of the time you're not ever gonna get in trouble by disclosing or over disclosing. And I think you worded it perfectly. You explained to him, this is what happened and this is how I handled it. And this is not the first time I've seen this problem.  So the difference between a good surgeon and a bad surgeon is the good surgeon handles his complications. So you just closer than what happened and this is how I handled it. And if there's any problems were, we're gonna keep a close eye on it. That's a good one, okay? Next one, referrals. Okay, so you guys are gonna be out, some of you are gonna be out really soon in private practice. You're seeing a patient that was very hesitant about doing her surgery with you because you're the new doctor in the practice and she wasn't really thrilled about having the new be-do-her surgery.  And the surgery turned out to be a lot more difficult than you kind of expected. And she has severe corneal edema that seems to last for several weeks. In the beginning you sort of think you know what's going on but after two or three weeks you're kind of losing confidence in yourself like I don't think I really know what's going on here. But you're kind of afraid to refer her because if you do you're sort of proving her point that you're the newbie and you, number one, caused a problem and now you don't know how to fix it. So what do you do? So what if you're, again, what if you're in rural Idaho and the only guy around is the guy who did everything in his power to keep you from coming into that town.  But he's got 15 years more of experience than you. You're gonna refer to that guy or you're gonna refer down to Salt Lake City. I can learn from you. So I'll tell you my experience. I left here and I had a, I was set up to join a guy in Colorado Springs and about six months before I was finishing my fellowship here in Oculele Plastics, I called him one night, just on a weeknight just to ask him some questions about some real estate questions actually. And he said, yeah, I kind of wanted to talk to you about that. And I said, so about what? He goes, you know what? I've kind of decided I don't really want a partner. I'm like, well, dude, we already bought a house.  And I said, well, I don't have a choice now. I mean, we're coming. My in-laws live there and we're set. I mean, kids, they're set for school. And he said, you won't come. You'll get an academic job somewhere. And so I went and I went around, he was the only guy in town. So I went around introducing myself to the other practices and virtually everyone I met said, well, I've been sending my stuff to him for the last 15 years. I don't really have any reason to switch. I said, I'm not asking you to switch. What I'm telling you is now there's a backup quarterback. So when he's out of town, you don't have to send him to Denver anymore. Or if it's 4.30 on a Friday and he doesn't really wanna see the patient or he's not in the office, then I'm here. And so I had some patients that I didn't know what to do with. So I started referring them over to him. So that started a little bit of a dialogue. And then one day about a year after I got there, I got a phone call from him and he said, would you have a drink with me? And I said, sure. So we went to this place and we're having a drink and we're just talking about nothing. And after about an hour, I said, so what is it that you wanted to talk about? And he said, I was just wondering how you'd feel about me joining your practice. And I said, wow, that's something to think about. And I went home and my wife said, so did you have a drink with Dr. So-and-so? Yeah, I'm like, well, what did he want?  If you join practices with him, we're divorcing. So that actually never happened. But so it was one of these contentious situations. And I think by coming in and trying to be humble, he didn't do any trauma. And I did a lot of trauma here. And he didn't do any cosmetics. And I did a lot of cosmetic stuff here. So we were both ocular plastics, but we didn't do the same stuff. So it ended up working out very well. So there's actually one of the rules of ethics has to do with referrals. Believe it or not, we get complaints from patients who say Dr. So-and-so won't refer me. I wanna go to this other doctor, but he won't send any of my paperwork or any of that stuff. So just because you're not in elementary school anymore, doesn't mean that you're not childish. We see that frequently. Here's one I bet you guys have talked about quite a bit. So you have a case that's very perplexing and you want to get another opinion. You text all the information, including the picture and the name of the patient to a colleague to ask their opinion. Is this okay? What do you think? I think if we ask to run this by somebody in the net for me to send your information. Did you guys ever do that? Usually not via text. We have outside providers who want, I mean, I guess I haven't had a right to send someone else, but we'll get. Do you guys text each other information? If you identify, it needs to picture if an FA or something, something that I guess you can theoretically identify something. What if it's just a close-up of the cornea? That's okay. I think so. If I take a picture, though, I usually tell the patient like that. We always ask, is it okay if we take a picture and like send it to one of the other doctors and they're like, yeah, sure. That's number like, I guess, I mean, sometimes they're like unconscious, like in the trauma they would do it, but I think that's like, for cognitive care, you kind of have to. So other than unconscious patient, in a situation like that, do you need to like create some kind of documentations that's aligned with patient three to allow you to take a photo and then send it off to another college for non-useful and encrypted phone? Yeah. Well, that's a legal question and I'm not really qualified to answer that. I know I have a friend who's at UCLA and I mean, they are radical, radical about that. They can't even text a picture of the cornea of a patient. You're just not allowed to do that ever. I'll tell you, I'm in private practice and I get pictures from patients all the time. Every single day, patients text me pictures. What I do is we go back and forth answering each other and then when it's all done, I forward the entire conversation to my assistant who then prints it out and puts it in the chart. But this is sort of one of those situations. Colorado, Southern Colorado is a bit like, sort of like the rural parts of Utah where if I do surgery on a patient and then two days later, they're having a question or an issue, for me to ask them to come in is a real hardship. Now there it's two or three hour drive and for them to text me a picture so that I can say, no, no, no, that's not infected. That looks fine. I mean, they're thrilled and I'll get, I do a lot of international work with Orvis and some other places and I was in India this summer for two weeks and I would get texts from patients almost every day. It was just okay. From the legal standpoint, I sort of stand on the hope that if what I'm doing is in the patient's best interest and I'm trying to help the patient by making them not wait on me or not go to the emergency room, et cetera, et cetera, then that's a pretty good argument, I think. Others might disagree and if you get super legal about it, you shouldn't probably ever do anything like that. But my own personal opinion is that with certain things, I think we've gone way too far the other way. When I first started practice, patients, this whole hippo thing first came out like around 2000 and we had this form and everybody, we gave it to everybody and patients, especially the older people, were like, oh my gosh, you're not gonna make me read that hippocrap again, are you? Just whatever. Yeah, and patients didn't want it. So I don't think, and it was a big problem too when you would call another doctor that sent the patient over, can you send over there?  Not from one doctor to another. Well, there's a lot of misunderstanding about it. So I think in the long run, some of the mandates from a higher ups have not been in the patient's best interest. Here's our last little thing to talk about. Social networking. A patient wants to friend you on Facebook. Is this okay? Has this ever happened to anybody? It's like it's a policy here at the university. Is it? What about when you're not here and it's not, there's no policy, you know? Do everyone think that way? I know some doctors that use on Facebook and they have a professional Facebook page for their, that's kind of becoming, that's probably a little bit different, yeah. I've had a couple of patients. I've had several patients, as a matter of fact, find me on Facebook and try to friend me. And I don't know, that seems like it's a boundary to me. Your professional life versus your private life. Here's another Facebook issue that I've seen is people posting pictures of patients on Facebook. And a tech that I work with, she works with a lot of doctors and she was working with a podiatrist. And this was a foot that got caught in some kind of machine, just mangled all the bits. It was just like from the knee down. But you think that's okay? Yeah, I don't think that's okay either, in fact. I think that's a fairly clear violation of hip-up. Because if that's your mom or dad, you don't want people. And you know how people can, I don't know, screenshot that or whatever. The next thing you know, it's on Reddit and everywhere else. So, well, let me, one nice thing before we leave. Well, I think that's all. It's just about seven o'clock. And I know you guys have a lot of other things that you need to do, but I hope that you'll, number one, realize that when you join the academy, that you are signing a form that says that you will abide by the rules of ethics. And I hope that at some point you'll take the time to look at those rules. Because they're there for a reason. They're there to help you practice in a way that's in the patient's best interest.  When patients realize that you're doing things, not for CYA purposes, but you're doing them because you truly want them to turn out well, it's amazing how people will, even patients that you've harmed, not on purpose, will go out of their way to protect you. We've had several cases where the doctor who actually caused the harm was not sued, but the anesthesiologist was sued, the nurse was sued, the tech was sued, the surgery center was sued, but they refused to sue their doctor because they felt like their doctor was their friend and their doctor had their best interest at heart. So when you practice ethical medicine, you're just practicing good medicine. And the ethics of any given situation are not always clear cut. But if you always sort of have in the back of your mind, I'm trying to do what's in the patient's best interest and think about that logically. I think you're gonna go a long way toward protecting yourself in doing good medicine. So tomorrow morning at Grand Rounds, we're gonna talk about some other common things that we deal with on the ethics committee a lot. Interestingly, they sort of overlap a lot with OMIC, and one is expert witness testimony. You guys are all soon gonna be considered experts and especially when you're kind of newbies. The lawyers really like to have you because one, you have time. And two, I think they often feel like you can be manipulated more than old guys. And three, you don't know what to charge. So you grossly undercharge them. And then we're also gonna talk about some more about informed consent stuff. So anyway, I hope you have a good evening.


Did you spend hours searching the product strategy interview questions and answers, but feel defeated at the end of the day? Did you try to use a consulting framework and to answer the product strategy question and end up losing your offer? And it's because you guys use the wrong framework to answer the product strategy interview questions. Hey guys, this is Dr. NCD director product from DrNCD.com. I help people transition from worker B to a product manager and business leader. If you want to learn the most effective way to become a product manager, you just subscribe to the channel and turn on the bell button. So be notified every time I introduce a new video every Wednesday. If you'd like any of the framework I teach you today, please do not forget to smash the like button so that more people will see this organic content. During the product strategy interview process, you will be asked these kinds of questions. For example, should Lyft enter the food delivery market? Was the future of Google offices looks like in the next 10 years? Should Facebook launch the Facebook portal product? These questions are very open-ended question, which is also very hard to understand what the interviewers want to hear. However, my students have to use the framework I invented to get offered from Google and Amazon through those product strategy interview questions. Today, let me share with you my Gucci framework specially invented by DrNCD to answer those kinds of product strategy interview questions. All of you guys get familiar with the type of interview questions that fan companies in my last video, I gave you the top 20 interview questions at Google. I want all of you guys to use those interview questions of practice and get ready for those important interviews coming up. Now let's introduce you to this Gucci framework. So Gucci framework stands for G goals and mission. U stands for unmet needs. C stands for competition. And the second C stands for customer segmentation. And I stands for integrated ecosystem. Now let me teach you how to use a Gucci framework to answer the specific product strategy interview questions. So let's dive into the G. G stands for goal and mission. Let's use this interview question as an example. Should Lyft enter the food delivery market? You should talk about why was the goal of Lyft doing that? It is because Lyft want to generate more revenue or because want to help people during COVID. And there's a line with a mission of Lyft. And especially I can imagine during this pandemic, there are not many people taking Lyft for ride sharing business. So maybe there's a lot of opportunities for Lyft to pivot the business model, generate new revenue. So all this question can be discussed during the interview and you need to bring this up. On top of that, you should also take advantage of this opening opportunity to ask any clarifying questions. I have talked to you guys the clarifying questions in my prior videos and you can directly download the top 10 clarifying questions you need to ask at the interview. And I'm going to link the questions at the description of this video. U stands for unmet needs. You should think about for people like right now in the food delivery market, is there any unmet needs for people ordering food today because they already have Uber Eats and Grubhub and many different services. It is very important for Lyft's product manager to think about is there any unmet needs currently in the market that Lyft can solve so they become a great opportunity for them to enter this market. A very important reminder for all of you guys at interview is that you need to talk about the unmet needs, not just the needs of food delivery in general, because the problem, the needs has been addressed by Google Eats and other competitors. So unmet needs are the key. If you were asked those kind of questions, for example, like what does the Google offices look like in the coming 10 years, you can also think about any future needs for people coming up in 10 years and also any other trend that might happen in the coming 10 years. All those new needs are something you need to discuss in the interview. You have tried to apply for jobs for a while, but you never hear back from the hiring manager. It's very likely use the wrong strategy. And I suggest all of you guys take a look at my free webinar. We'll talk about how I land for put a manager job within 60 days without applying for jobs online. I'm going to link the free webinar in the description of this video. C stands for competition. So when we talk about competition, you need to look up what are the different kind of competitors in this market today? What are their strengths? What are their product offerings? For example, there's already Google Eats and Grappa. How do they offer it differently from each other? And what are the reputation in this market? You should also think about is it a blue ocean strategy or red ocean strategy? I'm going to make an in-depth video teaching you guys what is a blue ocean strategy and red ocean strategy. But in a high level right now, I can tell you guys, this is a red ocean strategy. It is because this market has become very competitive. There's so many product offerings in this market today. Now, if it's a red ocean strategy, as a live product manager, you need to think deeply about what the unique competitive advantage off-lift in this red ocean strategy. On top of that, you should also think about if this, the entire market going to continue to grow or how it's going to change after the pandemic is over. If the entire food delivery market has grown, let's say five times bigger, which means it's likely there will be room for another new competitor, even if it is a red ocean strategy already. So you need to figure out the projection of the market size in this process as well. Of course, what if the projection went up and after the pandemic projection went down? Do you have a specific strategy to understand if you can survive in this environment? If you'd like any of the tips I shared with you guys so far, please make sure to smash the like button so that more people can see this organic content. The next part of Gucci Framework is second C stands for customer segmentation. It's very critical for the interviewer and also the interviewee to think about what a different type of customer segmentation and out there who are underserved right now so that they could be the potential early adopters of live service if they do decide to go into this market, which also lean to your GTM strategy, the go-to-market strategy for you to enter the specific segment. So pay close attention to your customer segmentation. So I stands for integrated ecosystem. Think about this, if lived enter the food delivery market, how can it integrate with existing ecosystem? In this case, lived already have the right sharing business. Maybe there's lots of synergies between right sharing business and also food delivery business. Of course, I believe there's lots of synergies out there. So you should also think about any other synergies between existing services within this and any other partners ecosystem. Those that you can make a full rounded decision for lived to decide if they should enter the food delivery market or not. The typical mistake when people answer product strategy interview questions is, first of all, they only talk about money and the personal experience. For example, oh, yeah, lived want to enter this market because they want to maximize revenue. However, there's other reason they may enter this market. When they talk about the future offices of Google, they only talk about their personal experience, maybe as a student, as a young professional, but they're not thinking big enough in terms of other different kind of users in this market. The second mistake people usually make is that the scope of thinking is too small. For example, when we talk about the integrated ecosystem, people should pay close attention, think about what different kind of partner in the value chain, not just deliver food, making offices, who are in the upstream downstream, who can be part of the entire ecosystem that could impact the result as well. The third mistake people always make when they answer product strategy question is that they didn't focus on the niche customers, customer segmentations. They just try to apply the general strategy, consulting strategy framework, only talk about high level stuff. But as a product manager, the reason we designed this kind of strategy question to see if you know exactly how to bring the product into hands of the customer. So want to listen more regarding the insight of GTM, GoFmarket strategy, the niche market, who are the early adopters? Seems like this is very critical when you answer those kind of interview questions. If you have any questions regarding how to apply the Gucci framework and combine with all the examples I told you, feel free to comment in the description of the video and more than happy to answer any questions you guys have. The product management recruiting season is coming up in one month. I recommend all of you guys to use the best framework to land your next product management job offer. If you're interested in learning the profit framework, I invented to help over hundreds of student land their product management jobs. Feel free to go to my webinar down below and learn about how the profit framework works that can help you to land the job offer very quickly as well. If you like the Gucci framework and advice I shared with you today, please make sure to smash the like button and share this video with aspiring product managers and subscribe to the channel because I'm going to publish more interview preparation content for all of you guys coming up very quickly. This is Dr. Nancy Lee. I'm going to see you next time. Bye.

I'm working as a software development engineer, mostly do full-stack engineering. Before this, I was interning at GitLab for four months. I got a good exposure to what the software development cycle looks like, because it was all in one platform, all in GitLab, like writing, coding, merging, deploying, testing, everything was in one platform. And I feel because it was all in one integrated platform, I got a very good holistic exposure to the whole cycle. And I understood the cycle even better. And this during a time when I was interning, I was not that experienced in the software development industry. I feel this helped me a lot to gain more knowledge and gain more of a deeper understanding of the software development process. UI is clean enough for a newcomer to actually get a very good feel of the platform without being too overwhelmed. The only factor there might be is just a new platform. You might not be used to it, but that's it. Otherwise, I personally felt I caught on very quickly onto the platform.


Say I Notice something that are already dressed that you will wait for us. Won't you? We got a change yet Well on behalf of my friends here Want to welcome all of you to the White House again? And seriously and first of all I want to thank you for the generosity and hard work that have made this when the evening is over the Most successful political fundraising event since the founding of the Republican Party Old Abe would have been proud Remember he was that young fellow that was president here about a hundred years ago But I also want to record and recognize Ted Welch the dinner chairman Drew Lewis the deputy dinner chairman and Jack McDonald the political action committee chairman our Pac-Man as it were For the tremendous job that they've done in putting this event together Our party seems to be gaining and strengthen numbers every day Used to be however that Republicans were something of an endangered species. I Didn't see anyone rushing to the ramparts to defend us I am reminded of a story When you've been around as long as I have everything remind you And I have a terrible fear that maybe I've told some of you this story before I Know there are two here at least who've heard it before But brace yourselves. We're all gonna hear it again has to do with an early congressman from Mississippi and thank I think maybe was the first Republican congressman and This was his first campaign and He was out touring the countryside and he came to a farm in his district and introduced himself to the farmer and told him that He was the Republican candidate for Congress and the farmer took one look at him his jaw dropped Then he turned running like a deer across the barnyard yelling ma ma And pretty soon here he came back with his wife. They both hurried back They stood hand in hand there in front of them and said you're the first Republican we ever saw And Then they asked him if he'd make a speech And he looked around for something to stand on in order to do a stump speech and the only thing there was a pile of that stuff that best Truman took 35 years in persuading her husband to call fertilizer So he climbed up on it and he made his speech and they listened when he stepped down They said that was the first time they'd ever heard a Republican speech and he said well, that's all right That's the first time I've ever given a Republican speech standing on a Democratic platform well There are a lot more Republicans these days partly because a a lot of People thought who were once Democrats thought better of it me for instance and still I don't have to tell you We have an uphill fight coming in 1986 22 Republican senators are up for reelection and Historically the party in power Democrat or Republican loses 40 to 50 house seats in a mid-term election At the same time the cost of running for a seat in Congress has increased 300 percent since 1976 and the Democrats claimed to be catching up with us in the fundraising race So we've got our work for cut out for us in the months ahead But I believe we have a unique opportunity in 1986 to Rewrite the book on mid-term elections. I don't mean just keeping control of the Senate either I think we have a shot. Maybe it's a long shot, but a shot at building a winning coalition in the house You noticed I said coalition because while they may not have re-registered you'd be surprised There's there's a little nucleus there that talks an awful lot like us And I think that Partly one of the reasons too that we have that chance is due to the nature of our opposition Sometimes I think Woodrow Wilson was able to foresee Today's house leadership when he said that quote every man who takes office in Washington either grows or swells Well, I think it's about time that we shrunk some of them down back to size and With your help, that's just what we intend to do in 86. So thank you again for your generosity It will make a big difference not only the future of our party But I think to the future of our country as well And I'm not gonna say any more because you're gonna have to hear me all over again later on I just want to thank you and God bless you all and now if you will let us go change We'll we'll join you at dinner Thank you


Hello there. Very nice to meet you. Nice to see you. And we're all littered. Hello, Mr. Proudham. Good to see you, sir. Good to see you. How are you? Well, which is Coca-Cola? Which is Coca-Cola. I'm Coca-Cola. You're United Earth. United Earth. I think that's a wonderful thing. Oh, thank you. Well, you know, we've been involved with the 60 years, so it's a logical extension for us. Oh, Godly. And we're very proud of it. It was very generous. We're glad to be associated with our friends again tonight. I mean, she excited the young athletes. Sorry, you'll know how much fun it was for us. Yeah. And they are upbeat. They are. They are upbeat. Well, we're going to bring them in. That makes her next. Right. Gentlemen, can you come right this way? Thank you. Thank you, sir. Good to see you again. Friend. Just one minute. Okay. For corporate giving. Yeah. For the corporations to pay for bringing all the kids together and bringing them in. Good. Good. Friend.  Friend, sir. You go this way. President Bob, help me. Yes. Servant to C.S, sir. Well, I'll see you. It's a wonderful challenge. Foreign Script to join her. Well, hello. Congratulations. Thank you. Greg Barton. Hi. You're not the on this president? Hello there. Good morning. Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to see you. How are you doing, Mr. Reagan? All right. Well, come over here. I started saying congratulations. You sat down at the parking lot. Did you see the rain for that? I think we could, Jim. I thought you said the other guy. No, that was the other way. No, I mean close the other one behind you. We have a fight on this one. This time of year, the sun just gets low enough that all of us. That's the only time we have to pull these grapes, and the sun starts coming in here. Keeping them in the back. That's not good. That sure is hot enough that it doesn't work on the camera. It's just closing the whole way. That's as far as it's going to go. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'll never get home. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay. President, we'd like to give you a amount of our appreciation. The COIN program is not so much to our efforts because the resources is bringing to us. We want to thank you. We're new working all the proceeds of this directly to the support of athletes for training and travel. So it doesn't go through the bureaucracy and we'll see if it gets right down to the bottom line. I have a feeling that this will appear in your presidential library. Oh, that's wonderful. See, you have to go quite a ways now before you get to deep water. They built the pools pretty deep. I used to do that myself. Did you? Yeah. I did. Every summer for seven summers was a lifeguard. Great. Well, we could probably save a few lives. And also did a little running, but not Olympic. Ran the quarter and was then the 440.  Couldn't do both. So I chose swimming. We're ready. We need to hold here while everyone goes over and takes their places and we'll be a few minutes behind them. Thank you. You're welcome. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. See you in a little bit. Thank you. I just know many hours and sacrifices into glorious months. If everything came together, you stood on the metal platform holding your head high of the star-spangled banner graying out in trouble. If you didn't come home wearing a metal, you still were every day ideal. Rest and make it to the limit.  And that's why we all wanted to drop three America. And that's why we're here for you. Because you've worked with me from the very best that you can be. I don't measure the success of our Olympic games only proud. These Olympics were a triumph for our small gifts to take home. So I'll remember Korean, end quote. But the day we do remember the Korean people and the proud to have them as friends and proud of their success from around the world. One observer described his massive friendship as squirming together in a sea of international relevance. We're going to say I send again good luck to the American people for their support of our United States Olympic team. Thank you. I'd like to introduce to you some of my distinguished teammates from the Olympic team. So many champions, Dan and Evans. Back in field, Queen of the Scrooge, I would like to be here in the city to receive the warm welcome and to enjoy each other's company on a less competitive circumstance. I look at what's important for our country. And to come back to the states and to see that the gift was so well received with smiles, handshakes and warm gestures. Mr. President.


The Kinect V2 sensor has become increasingly popular for its ability to capture 3D data quickly and accurately. This paper examines the capabilities of the sensor when used to reconstruct small objects in three dimensions. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using the Kinect V2 over other methods, such as photogrammetry. The results show that the Kinect V2 can produce accurate 3D reconstructions of small objects, but that the accuracy may vary depending on the object's size and shape. This article was authored by Elise Lachit, Helene Macker, Tonya Landis, and others.


For further proof that Jesus is God or the Son is God, look at Proverbs 30 and 4. Who has ascended into heaven and descended? That is reminiscent of what Jesus says in John 3 when he says, No one has ascended into heaven or descending except for the Son of man. And we know he's talking about the Son of man that is Jesus just by continuing to read. Who has gathered the wind with his fist? Who has wrapped the waters with his garments? Who has established the ends of the earth? Well, clearly Jesus who is God. The Bible says that the Lord made the heavens and the earth in him all things were made. Isaiah 45 18 says, For the Lord created the heavens and the earth. And according to Romans 10, Jesus is the Lord whom we must confess in order to be saved. And then he says, What is his name or his son's name?  And so a person looking for further proof even in the Old Testament that the Son is God, look no further than Proverbs 34.


There was one particular program at Science and Math that changed my life and that was the mentorship program. And the mentorship program aligned juniors and seniors with a scientist or engineer in the research triangle park. And I had the incredible opportunity to work with a scientist. It became a real turning point for me in terms of really having a great appreciation and love for science, for inquiry, for asking questions, for curiosity. And it also made me a science fair junkie. My scientific training helped prepare me to become an entrepreneur and helped prepare me for things that didn't go well, things that didn't work. Because in science we learn all the time about things that don't work or failure. And what we learned always that in science, if something didn't work or it failed, it actually was an answer. And that really served me well in building the global fund for children. One of the things Governor Hunt had said very clearly was that he wanted to create this school as a way to create the next generation of scientists and engineers, but also individuals that were going to take science and mathematics or whatever the endeavor you were going to take on and make the world a better place. We have to find and nurture those young people. And at the Society for Science and the Public, we're doing that. We are really working hard to engage more young women and young people of color. Talent is everywhere. But what we have to do a better job of is really providing the resources, tools, and encouragement to the next generation.
