Can everyone hear me? Perfect. Morning. Thank you everyone for joining the last session before lunchtime. We'll try to make it nice and quick. The title of this talk today is teaches bread on the ones to chop wood and carry water in their open source journey. So we're hoping to focus on mentoring, particularly open stack flavoured mentoring. We're hoping by the end of this talk that you'll have a, we'll say, a good idea of the opportunities that are available to you as either a mentor, potential mentor or potential mentee. And we're hoping as well that you'll pick up a few tips from professionals such as Victoria here. Before we get started we should probably introduce ourselves. My name's Stephen, Stephen Finooken or Stephen Finn on IRC. I'm a software engineer at Red Hat and as you can tell from the photo I'm also an Egypt for Choosing to spend the last year of my life working on a broadcast house that's consuming all of my time. So it's been nice this week to be thinking of something other than asbestos. When I'm not risking my life and limb working on houses I tend to write a lot of code. I've been involved in OpenSec since 2015. Most of that time I've been working on Nova but I've also worked in SDK in OpenSec client. I've messed around with Cinder and stuff. Apologies in advance for anyone here that I've, whose project I've broken at some point over the last few years. All right and hi everyone. I am Victoria Martinez-Elegrus. I'm a senior software engineer at Red Hat. I have been involved with OpenSec for a couple of years now. Actually my first contribution was in 2014. My first summit was of OpenStack Summit in Poland. And that was because of, well, basically I got involved with an outreach internship which we are going to be talking about in a couple of minutes. The picture I have on the screen for me is very, very important. It has a lot of emotions for me. The person in the middle does Flavio Percoco. He was my mentor for Google's number of code. And it was for the OpenStack Summit in Austin. And, well, after my initial contribution, as I mentioned, to the dashboard, I have been jumping around different projects within OpenStack. I have been contributing to SACAR project. I have been contributing to Trove. And nowadays I find my home in the OpenStack Manila project which is a shared file system as a service. Which, well, I continue to contribute and mentor and will get people involved. All right. So let's start by talking a bit about the history of mentoring within the OpenStack community. And, well, I like this part a lot because I kind of follow the process in its beginnings. As I mentioned, I started contributing to OpenStack. Thank you to an internship which is nowadays known as O-Richie. That's the logo in the middle. Back then it was the O-Rich Brown for Women. I was the first cohort of mentees that the OpenStack community has. And after that, I continue to get involved with this project, sorry, with this program by doing some mentoring test. Then I joined as a coordinator for the program. Nowadays there are super nice people taking care of. I just gave a step back. But, well, I have been involved with the program since then. This program saw the participation of so much people from the time I did it. Which was 2013 till now. We got more than 50 mentees from all over the world. Contributing to more than 15 projects within the OpenStack community. Also participating in the Google Summer of Co, which is the logo in the top left. That's another really good internship that aims to get the students to contribute to open source projects. We have a brief participation. We have been trying to participate since then again. But, well, we are looking always for coordinators that are willing to step in and to help with mentoring activities. Those are not the only internship or mentoring programs that you have within the OpenStack community. The OpenStack community has participating in so many other efforts such as some internships or co-operation programs with US universities. Some of the universities that participated with us already was Northeastern University, Oregon State University, North Dakota State University and Boston University. Apart from that, which are the long internship efforts. We also participated in other efforts which are for only one day or two days. Great Hope Acceleration is an example of that. That's a conference that happens once a year. We usually participate in the open source day. This is a really nice event that we are going to talk a bit more later. That basically helps people that maybe has a background in a technical background, but they are not really familiar with open source. So we help them to get involved with the community and to look for a way for them to contribute. Other efforts that are not on the slide, but well actually I think they were mentioned in it, are like the option training. That's an event that has been running in OpenStack for a while. Usually it's training for people that again has a background in technical background, but they are not very familiar with open source contributions and the speed mentoring. Probably you said that in the schedule for this summit. Now for moving to some other topics and some more details on our experience of mentoring. Perhaps one of the first questions that we can think about when mentoring or when talking with people that is willing to mentor, like why you would mentor. And actually we see a lot of benefits, not only for the people that you are getting involved, but also for yourself if you want to mentor. Perhaps the most obvious reason for mentoring is that you are empowering willing contributors. It is no news that when people want to get involved with open source sometimes it is not so straightforward. It's not so simple for them to join. Usually they have to face processes, tools, maybe some language barriers, sometimes some issues. And if you are willing to mentor someone, basically you are allowing them to get easier to the actual contribution part. And help them understand better and follow the processes in an easier way. And this usually it's a great thing for them because it's like you not only help them to success on what they want to do, but also you connect them with other people that maybe willing to help them. Also well foster diversity in the community. OpenStack has been historically a community that has been pretty diverse. I'm talking about geographical diversity, cultural diversity languages, time zones. Like it's a worldwide community, but most of us are here because we are working in a tech company or we are in an organization that use OpenStack or some project within the opening foundation with a technical background. With mentoring we allow people that maybe are in the school or maybe they don't have a background, a technical background to actually learn about it and to make their first contribution. This is also the third reason I can mention. Because of this diversity, because these different views that we bring up in the community, we get really fresh ideas, really diverse point of views. And sometimes it happened for us that we have been working for so long in a specific task or a specific problem.  And it's for us like, yeah, it's a good idea and thank you so much. And that's how we make them start contributing and getting involved with the community and stay with the community as well. Now let's talk about personally, you as a person, you as a professional, you get a lot of understanding of the project you are mentoring. Usually when you have to teach, at least for me that was my experience when I had to teach about something, when I had to share my knowledge about something, that actually took me to the next level of actually understanding what's going on. And it helped me to work on my teaching skills on how I communicate ideas. That's something that is not minor and I think it's something that you have to consider when taking on mentoring. This is a learning experience for yourself as well. And because of this great synergy of feelings and learning and well community that we usually have on these experiences, we are training the next generation of the open source maintainers. I have many cases in which we had interns working with us for, I don't know, three to six months. And after the internship finishes, like they say, okay, I want to continue contributing to this because I love the community, I love the people working here, I'm very excited about what I'm doing and I really want to get a full-time job in order to continue doing this. Fortunately, we had several cases in which this happened and nowadays they are maintainers of the projects that they contribute to. We would love to see this happening more often, but well, definitely something that we can discuss better afterwards, but that's our goal as well. And last but not least, this has to do with diversity again and getting people from other areas that is not in the tech field. We can recruit people from a variety of places, a variety of backgrounds. Sometimes it is not that easy to get people involved and there is a lot of offering for jobs within the communities and actually getting diverse sources of talents help us to open source community to grow. All right. Let's quickly move to what's our involvement. Again, as I mentioned, I started as an intern, continue to be a mentor and then coordinator for RITI, then I also participated in Google Summer of Code, also participated in several open source days for Grace Hopper celebration and last but not least, and I'm going to take more time. I want you to share experience, some internships with, well, actually projects with the US universities. So I, in case the size don't indicate that, I have a lot less experience with the mentoring stuff than Victoria does. We're going to these two mentorship programmes in a little more detail in a moment, but in summary I've worked with two universities over the course of the past two years, North Dakota State University and Boston and Northeastern universities. For anyone that was at the open stack or the Copersack SDK slash OSC session earlier this week, you've probably heard me talking about this and in particular you've probably heard me stalling the virtues of getting students to work on the kind of projects that we've got them to work on over the course of the past year. There's a couple of things that we've learnt from doing this. In a strange kind of twist of fate, we're actually going to focus on these two topics instead of, let's say some of Victoria's more extensive background here. The reason for this is intentional and it's because the two internship programmes were so similar but we were able to make some changes because of them being quite close together and observed the differences, the impact that those changes made. I'll run through those now in a moment, but that's the basic idea of where we're going through this. Looking at those two programmes in a little more detail, both of the programmes involved four students from Research University, the first one obviously North Dakota, the second one being Boston and the Northeastern. They both ran for three months but the key measurable metric that came out of that was what actually got landed as a result of these mentorship programmes. This might not seem like a whole lot of patches but when you consider that the amount of work that goes into onboarding a new person in OpenStack, this is a fairly decent return on investment over the course of a very short internship period of three months. That's whatever, nearly 150% increase in delivery and more importantly the amount of stuff that was left over at the end of the mentorship was significantly decreased, which for us showed that the students' ability to actually finish out patches, see them through, was massively improved between the two. We decided that we'd analyse what we did differently over the course of the two mentorship programmes. Because all good things come in threes, I've broken this down into three categories or themes of things that we did differently or things that we think you should focus on over the course of a mentorship and we're going to run through those at the moment. The first of these was your goals and objectives. I think this is probably the most important aspect of this, particularly when it comes to OpenStack. As anyone here that's either operated or contributed to OpenStack will know, it's a massive beast. There's an awful lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of prerequisite knowledge needed just to start contributing, whether it's getting involved with the IRC, whether it's getting Garrett set up, deploying DevStack and spending weeks trying to debug why it doesn't work, even we'll say in the case of students getting used to working with Linux and virtual machines, this kind of thing. While you may wish to say we want to go and add mega feature X to whatever your project is, that's probably not going to be a realistic in the kind of time spent that you typically have available for a mentor or an intern. Instead of adding feature X, we found that if you constrain your scope and you think more in terms of add this little feature to the SDK or to the project, add another feature, add another feature and build it iteratively, it tends to give you a nicer feedback loop and it means that the students feel like they're actually making progress and you as a mentor, you feel like the students are making progress and you're helping them out basically. The other thing that's kind of important to note is, we'll say, your objectives and your goals should be very clear from the outset. We made this mistake in the first round of mentoring. We said, OK, these guys are going to work on OpenStack SDK and as anyone that's ever worked on OpenStack SDK will know, there's fewer layers in an onion, like it's a very complex beast, partially as a result of its heritage being two projects munged together and partially as a result of the fact that it has to obscure differences between all the APIs of the various OpenStack services. By basically ensuring that you're very clear in your own head about what the students or the interns should be working on, you'll make your own life easier and you'll make their lives easier. They have something to work towards. Finally, on this point, I mentioned about even the inability to, or the inexperience with things like Linux, make sure you try and set up the right tools and decide on what you're going to use ahead of time. If that could be something as simple as deciding to use Google Calendar to set up monthly or weekly meetings with them, we'll go into that in a moment, using Jitsie, BlueJeans, Google Meet, whatever you want for video covers in, providing a DevStack instance to try and help them avoid having to deal with all of that, even things like setting up an IRC bouncer, if you have an IRC ZNC instance or something, give them access to it, tell them to use IRC Cloud, that kind of thing. On the second kind of theme or category, communication, we found that communication is ultra important, especially at the beginning of the project. This kind of makes sense when you think about it, but it's something that we found people can often kind of skip over. Expect these things to be very high touch, especially at the beginning of the project. All of this knowledge that's in your head, you need to somehow get it out of your head and transfer it into the students or interns head somehow. So that's usually going to involve talking with them very often. Ideally at least once a week and occasionally more. You might need to schedule one-to-ones occasionally. You might need to schedule, I would say, ad hoc things if the folks are stuck at some particular topic. You should try and write down as much of the stuff that you're doing as possible. So I said earlier about having clear objectives and goals. Write those objectives and goals down. If you've done some research to figure out how the guys should work on this particular area, write that down somewhere, how you came about that information. You can use a blog, you can use etherpads, you can use Google Docs, whatever works, just make sure it's written down somewhere. And then a final point, trying to get everyone involved in your own internal conversations and then if possible try and get them to start talking to the community. If you've got people working on Cynder, if you've got people working on Manila, whatever, you may be acting as the mentor for these students or interns, but there's a good chance that there's multiple other people in that community that are more than happy to help whether it's with reviews, whether it's with just general feedback, point them to documentation on coding standards, whatever it is, get them involved and then also make sure that the students and interns are talking to you. You can often go into a meeting, you have four interns there and one of them is doing all of the talking. Try and drag in those additional people, make sure that they're not keeping quiet because they're stuck or they're embarrassed to talk. These are all really important skills. As anyone that's contributed here knows, sitting quietly in your corner and working on your own thing isn't very productive, you're much better to go and write your specs, try and kind of build advocacy for features or bug fixes, this kind of stuff, regular communication is really important. And then third, the final point is kind of the general process stuff. The key point here is feedback. So remember that these students and interns, they're in the same position that you probably were whenever you started your career. And there's going to be stuff that you'll have learned along the way that is generally going to be useful to impart upon them. So give them feedback if you think they're doing stuff that's really good. Let them know if you think they're doing stuff that they should possibly improve on. Make sure you let them know about that. Especially if you're mentoring students from a university perspective, there's a good chance that professors or lecturers will come looking for this feedback afterwards. So ideally you don't want to get to the end of the three month or six month period and have to be given this negative feedback that such and such didn't get engaged or they struggled for too long because they weren't giving that feedback over the course of the internship. You also need to make sure that you set aside time for this stuff. I said earlier about setting up at least weekly meetings, particularly at the beginning. But remember if they're submitting code or even documentation fixes, you're going to need to spend some time doing reviews. You can obviously lean on the broader community to do this, but as a mentor, you're the first person that they're going to reach out to for this. So make sure you set aside an hour or two a week. The flip side of that is that you don't have to do everything for them and it's probably not healthy for them to have their mentor as a crutch. Try and set some limits if needed. If you have a student or an intern that's reaching out to you on a regular basis or worse expecting you to write code for them, try and push back on that or do push back on that and make sure that they are learning from this process and you're not just doing everything for them. Finally, stay professional and remember that these folks are potentially your future colleagues, future friends, and it would be nice to be able to work with these guys in the future. Again, they're in the same position that you were in at some point in the past and try and show them the same compassion and decency that you would like shown to you in their position. So these are just a couple of the key, we'll say, learnings and points that we took out of these. But there's a lot more, I'm pretty sure anyone that's in the audience, probably if you've ever been involved in this, have your own ideas. Feel free to catch Victoria or I after this and we'll be happy to discuss it in a little more detail. All right. So those are great tips for sure. I really share some of them. And it sounds good. It sounds easy. Now it's like, okay, how do I get started? As mentioned, we're getting back to this slide again. There are so many efforts available in the opening for community that you can actually join. Our reach perhaps for me is the more familiar one. We are going to cover that quickly now. The US University is one as well as a very good opportunity as well. And a great hopper celebration for those that may be kind of the four right now to spend three months or more mentoring. It's a great way for you to have your first experience on mentoring. So I'm just going, all these slides has a lot of information. The goal of this was for us to leave some reference so you can check. So I'm going to quickly cover this, but you can get the slides later and check them out. O'Ritchie has currently a round happening right now. We got two interns working for OpenStack, one in Manila, one in Neutron. And this internship goes from May to August. But there is going to be a next round, which is going to be by the end of the year. The applications usually start on September, October, and the internships go from December to March for the next year. Applying as a mentor is not complicated. Basically, you need to think about a task that can be done in a three-month period and apply yourself as a mentor. Commitments, well, I'm going to refer to the advice that Stephen mentioned. This is very flexible. You're going to probably pick whatever works best for you. But we advise that you keep communication fluent and you have meetings regularly with them at least once a week and you help them to get connected with other people in the community to actually fulfill their contribution. All right. Going to go over the university universities. Usually, we get notifications about these internships on the majorities in OpenStack annals. And, well, these internships vary depending on the university. It can be from one semester to two semesters. And these internships work differently to Ritchie in the sense that normally we work together like with several mentors. It's not you mentoring one person only, but a couple of mentors say three or four mentors mentoring a group of three or four people. And finally, the Grace Hopper Celebration Open Source Day. This is an event that usually happens September to October. I think this year is going to be September from 2020 to 2023. Registrations are not open yet, but we are still looking for a mentor for this event. This one works very similarly in the sense that you have to think about a task that your mentee has to work during that day. You will need to get something for the event and prepare for a program with this person and do a really quick onboarding to the community, to the tools and to the issue that you want them to fix. Last but not least, this is also an open question for you. There are other opportunities that we know. Do you know any other one? If so, please let us know. But we have been looking again into Google Summer of Code, for instance, into also the season of docs which is very similar to Google Summer of Code, but obviously focus on creation for docs. Hacktoberfest has an internship, but we are researching on these ones. We want to learn more and we want people to help us to participate in this. If you are interested, please let us know. With that, I think that's a wrap up. I don't know if there are questions or comments or I think we have four more minutes. If not, you can catch Victoria and Eli anywhere in the corridor for what's left of this week. The question was, I spoke about the worst case scenario where you'd have an intern or a student that would expect them to write the code for you. What would be strategies for avoiding this? In my case, and I'll let Victoria speak to this in a moment, in my case, it was pretty much discussing it with the student, discussing my expectations around what I expected from them, providing written material where possible and basically just any time I was asked to write code, pushing back on it, points in the right direction and stuff. Don't do it. It was my solution. I'm sure there's probably a clever strategy. I ran into that a couple of times as well. It's hard to push back. You have to be quite strong on that. Something I have to... Something I tried was to actually pair a program with this person. I would say, okay, we can code together. I'm not going to write a code with you. But we can work together and I can follow what you're writing and we can think together on how to get this done. Usually, sometimes, the first time you do that is hard because you actually need to be very clear on what needs to be done and try to encourage the thinking on the outside. But after they get used to the workflow, it's a bit easier and they actually learn how to do things. One other key point on that is... I didn't mention about communication between mentors, but that's also important. Artem was one of the other mentors in both of those programs. It was only after the first program wrapped up that we actually discussed this and we both realised we'd had the same observation, but we'd never communicated that with each other. We were careful to do that then in the second one. That way, we can give consistent feedback to the particular student. The question was whether there'd be a particular type of feature or bug that should be preferred. How would you go about choosing your work, I guess? The biggest thing is to constrain in the scope and choosing sensible features. Adding some feature that would take you six months to do isn't viable, obviously, for a three-month internship. It still isn't really viable for a six-month thing. We'll say you want to add this feature, try and think of the minimum viable products. What would you do, APIs? In general, though, choose something that's somewhat interesting, that's comprehensible for somebody that's not playing inside baseball that isn't knee-deep in neutron code and stuff. It's somewhat exciting. Something that they could see is usually beneficial. I must? I agree. What he's saying is that it's generally more interesting to work on new features as opposed to bugs. It depends, like, how do you want to clarify it? We'll say close in the open stack client gaps. That's arguably a bug, arguably a feature. It's somewhere in between. I think those were quite useful because they were very visible. You could run your tests and stuff and you could see actual API responses and stuff. Fixing off by one errors and stuff is probably less meaningful. Bug fixes can be interesting. It's very subjective and probably up to your own experience and verdict on it. Usually wish list tasks like enhancements to something that already exists that we often say, maybe this would be great, this would make usability better, this would make, I don't know. This would make this feature way better, but we don't have enough time to work on that. Those usually are great candidates for these kind of tasks. Open stack client again. Perfect example of that. Everyone likes it. Nobody wants to do it. We're at time, so we might wrap up there. Feel free to grab us afterwards if you have any questions and enjoy what's left of the summit. Thank you.


All right. What's up? Today I wanted to come on live here on YouTube. Haven't jumped on this live feature in a while, but wanted to come on here and talk about something. I'm about to end my week here. And I've gotten a lot of coaches over the past couple weeks that I've been able to speak to. And if you're watching this live, I want you to chat with me. Just send me a chat.  I want to see who I'm talking to here. I don't expect a ton of coaches to jump on this live with me. But if you are here, maybe I can answer some questions that you have. So please just shoot me a comment there. But wanted to jump on today and talk about the success of the clients that we've been able to work with specifically coaches in 2020. So combined, we have a consulting program. We have different courses and products that we sell. And I do individual consulting with coaches from pretty much every sport you could think of. And what I'm about to tell you should go to the credit of the coaches that we work with, not me. I'm here to help as a resource to mentor coaches. But at the end of the day, the coaches that we work with, the ones who really succeed, they're the ones who take action. They're the ones who take the advice and they run with it. And they're great at implementing. And in 2020, the coaches that we worked with combined generated over $5 million of revenue from January to the end of December of 2020. And for me, I'm really proud of that because I know 2020 was a really hard year for a lot of people. And it was really cool to see during that time how coaches were able to expand their business even after COVID hit. And I want to tell you two things. I have zero secrets here. There's two things that these coaches did. And they did very well to generate more revenue inside of their training business. And here's what they are.  Tell me in the chat. I would love to hear where you're from. And here's the two things that these coaches did. One is during the crisis of COVID, during that time, they buckled down and they kept selling the program. And not only did they keep selling the program, they started to shift their program to where clients would pay them upfront for longer periods of time. And this is something that I teach. I've talked about this a lot on YouTube, which is basically create a six or 12 month plan and sell that upfront to clients. So now clients are investing between $2,000 and maybe $5,000 per client depending on the problem that you solve within your business. So that's the first is they were offering longer term contracts to clients who could prepay and pay upfront. That was number one. The second was any client who came into their program that didn't pay upfront, they put them on recurring payments for six months to a year. And that is what stabilized a lot of these coaches' business. But every single month, as they kept adding new clients, their monthly income kept growing because they were making those sales where maybe it's a $2,000 sale or they're having clients who are paying $200 or $300 per month over the course of the next 12 months. And that, my friend, is how these coaches did it. And the thing I would tell you while I'm still on this stream here is the only way to really improve your business, you can take any tactic or strategy or whiteboard video that I have here on YouTube. You can take any strategy and that's all great. But if you don't have the mindset to win, especially when COVID happened, if you just kind of shut down during that time, a lot of people during that time did nothing with their business, which meant they couldn't help their clients. And if their clients couldn't get the help, clients are not going to work with them anymore. So the coaches who really stepped up during this time and led, those were the ones who financially they did great. But I think the most important thing is they really took care of their clients during that time. They led their clients. So that's it for this video. Again, if you want to elevate your income in the future, think about what I talked about, the two things. Get clients on upfront payments that are paying you upfront for a year or six months or put them on recurring payments and have them train with you for longer periods of time and get them committed. If you want to learn more about how to do that, go to my website, buildmysportsbiz.com. I taught to probably 25 coaches this week that watch my YouTube videos. I'm more than happy to chat with you, talk with you for five, 10 minutes, see if you have any questions. I'd love to be a resource here. So that's it for this live stream. And I'm going to try to do more of these. And I'm thinking about doing this on Fridays every week coming up before I end the week. I'm only going to do that if I get some good feedback here. So that's it. And see you later.

The Pin Union has these 28 member states, and there are quite big differences. The Danes perspective is very much like the Briggs one, so when I was working in the civil service in Denmark for the Minister of Justice and negotiating on behalf of Denmark, we would normally follow the bridge's lead, and in this regard, it's very important to be aware that the British are really punishing what a say about its weight. Britten is one of three major member states, and at the same time, Britain is much stronger than the other member states. So what I found surprising was that the British Civil Service, Whitehall, had not only the resources, the manpower, but also the skills to really run and drive forward the negotiations in the interests of the British, but also, of course, as we were like in the interest of the Danes, the Swedes and also the Finns. So we would normally follow the British whenever there was something coming up, and it was not so that you had a fight between the member states. You would find that the British would drive the negotiations and the opponent would very often be the Commission. So we had this very reluctant British, very reluctant Danish perspective on the number of issues, and we would find that the outcome would very much be what the British had wanted. And I think that is important also from a Danish perspective. Of course, we really used the British, so to say, as the one spearheading in negotiations, and we would certainly not always be in agreement, of course, but we would try to support the British as best we could. So why do you think the British press has this idea that Britain has no influence within the EU? I guess that that is partly because if you are going to win all these battles, that are going on in process, honestly, on a daily basis. If you come out and show that you have won all the battles, you're not going to win the next one. So you have to keep a low profile, which means that I probably shouldn't say it so here, but really I was really impressed by the British, well, Whitehall, the British Civil Service. They really drove the things forward. They were almost very well prepared. They had a lot of people working on the topics. I would work part-time of one. I know there was a small department in the British Civil Service working on the same topic. And if they came out and said, right, look, we managed to squeeze the commission into the corner, that would mean that the commission next time, and some of the other members, would probably not be as willing to be squeezed into the corner. So I think there are very good reasons why you don't come forward as a diplomat saying that you have won rather than the country. You pretend that you have not won, so you can win the next battle also, obviously. And do you have any views about the impact of Brexit, if the UK votes to leave in June? What might be the consequence of that for Danish Anglo-relations, Denmark? Well, from the Danish perspective, that would be a disaster, honestly, because since we are somewhat aligned with the British viewpoints, and since we don't have the resources, that would basically mean that we would have to find another way of pushing our views through, which is like not to happen, really. So there will be a vacuum if the priests were to leave, and that vacuum has to be filled, and we will probably see what I would call a more integrationist approach from the European Union side, because then you don't have the more realist, if I might put it like that, approach of the British, of the Danes, which means that you will find a different policy, I assume. That would be most likely, I would guess. Is there something that you think ought to be better communicated to the general public in anticipation of the referendum? I think that what you really need in this referendum debate going on is that we find today that Britain has a lot of influence, and that influence will be lost. Britain's influence is really power. Britain is in the negotiation room at the moment, and that power, if you're leaving that room, is lost. What is coming in place for that? I don't know, but I don't see Britain being strong outside the European Union as compared to the present situation. Thank you very much. You're welcome.


Today, I'm with Dr. Tim Diamond, and we're going to talk about naturopathic medicine, especially for our times and this guiding principle of vitalism. Before I read Tim's bio to you, I just want to say hi. Thanks, Tim, for being here. Oh, thank you. Yeah, so let me just read your bio for the audience and then we'll get into this conversation here. Sure. So Tim Diamond has been a natural licensed naturopathic doctor for almost 20 years and for the past five years he has been teaching naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, and herbalists and is now a professor at American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tim also provides classes on in pathology and natural medicine for life coaches, yoga teachers, unlicensed healers, which we'll talk about, and anyone else who is called to study the healing arts. The guiding principle of Tim's work is vitalism, which I'll have you describe. This is an ancient idea that our whole lives are shaped by a powerful force. This force has been called chi, prana, and the healing power of nature. There are many different ways to tap into this, including the use of herbs, foods, the power of thought, meditation, and prayer. So I think a lot of folks in this audience will resonate with that because you know, a lot of us haven't had the best experience with, you know, Western invasive medicine. Right. And anyway, so I'd love for you to start with talking about vitalism, actually. Yeah. What is what is that? I think it's probably the first time a lot of the folks here have heard about it, but I think it's a really powerful idea. Yeah, well, it's it's really the idea that unifies all of the different ancient systems of medicine, including Western medicine. So, you know, modern Western medicine really traces its roots back historically to the ancient Greeks and to Hippocrates. And Hippocrates was describing energy medicine. He was describing vitalism. He just he called it the healing power of nature. And just for those who don't remember or don't know Hippocrates, yeah, all heard of the Hippocratic oath. Yes. Right. Which is to do no harm. Yeah. And that came from Hippocrates, which I guess was some people considered the ancient, you know, father of medicine or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. Philosophically, a lot of things are traced back to the Hippocratic writings. And there's some debate as to whether it actually was a person or not, because we are talking about over 2,000 years ago. But allegedly, there was this person named Hippocrates and his writings were what he called ancient medicine. He was describing something that 2,000 years ago, he was saying was sort of a lost ancient medicine. And it was the idea that, you know, when you're when you're helping someone facing a disease or any condition, any challenge of life, the idea is you don't treat the disease. You support the person, right? You help them in facing that illness. He was very explicit about this. And it came down to some practices like how you handle a fever. You know, you don't suppress the fever.  And this is something that's come up in the news some lately with COVID-19, you know, there's there's been some debate as to whether or not people should suppress that fever with an anti-inflammatory. And I think Hippocrates would say, no, don't do that. And and I certainly would.  You suppress symptoms for comfort sometimes, but really in in all the different vitalistic forms of medicine, you're really supporting the body in doing what it's trying to do and giving it the tools necessary to heal. Yeah, yeah, this is this is very interesting. And so can you give some examples of how the body can heal more than people expect? Like a lot of us here, you know, in Western thought, we just say, okay, if I feel the slightly bit sick, which I should go to the doctor and get pills and like you said, suppress symptoms. So give us a few more examples, if you don't mind, like just how does how can the body heal? Because I think it's true. So many of us distrust the body. We think the body is like, it's it's a machine and once it's broken, you got to fix it, you know, you got to fix it with some outside thing versus that the fact that it's self-healing. So yeah, yeah, I think that you want to start with a kind of really obvious self-evident ones. Like an example, a lot of people use is you cut your finger, you know, you don't really have to do anything to make that happen. And to this day, we still don't really understand how your body can organize around this and figure out exactly what it needs to do with that cut or with any kind of unusual injury or pathogen. It's never seen before. There is this innate immune response that kicks in and can heal us or it usually can. And so in the kind of medicine that I practice, I look for the simple things to give support to the body and also there's ideas of tuning the vital force. And I don't do acupuncture, but this is what an acupuncturist would basically be doing with needles. They're tuning the flow of that vital force. I use homeopathic remedies and herbal remedies and body work in that way, but I think it's really a universal principle with that. And I see this work for chronic illnesses. I've seen people that have been struggling with like inflammatory bowel disease and eczema and some really, really serious conditions as well, where they just spontaneously heal. And it goes on the record as like spontaneous remission, you know, but it coincides right with starting with using some natural therapies that are based upon this principle of vitalism. And there is a lot of, you know, debate about this term and a lot of people in the scientific world will describe it as some kind of a forgotten idea or some kind of antiquated theory or some kind of religion, you know, and close the door on that because it doesn't fit with their experiments. And I'm all for that if people want to do that, but you end up closing the door on much of the healing power that is out there and we need that. You know, the medicine we have today is very, very limited. And we're seeing that limitation right now in the news with COVID-19, you know, we don't have a treatment for this and we don't have, we don't have an anti-viral from a pseudical drug and we don't have a vaccine. And I'm hoping that we will, I'm hoping that we will, but in the meantime what we have is our own immune system and our own vital force. And so that's what, that's what we turn to in times like this. We turn to medicine that actually works when we don't have the suppressive therapies. Do you, and what are your suggestions? So two questions I guess related about strengthening our immune system. One is what can all of us do at home without getting the the herbs yet? And yeah, is it, what can we do at home? Just to strengthen our immune system one. And number two is as you treat patients, clients to strengthen their immune system, what kinds of herbs, what kinds of naturopathic remedies do you support? Yeah. Okay. And I should make it clear that in this kind of medicine, there is no actually treating the virus. There is no treating COVID-19. What I'm talking about is strengthening the person, right? And the first thing to do is try to see what the obstacles to health are. Try to see what is out of balance in your life right now. And I've been on the phone a lot lately with my patients and, you know, trying to see what's changed with them recently. And certainly one issue that's coming up is a lot of fear. Some people are living in fear or living in this constant stimulation of the new cycle. And that that is something that then affects the immune system. You know, there is this thing called psychoneuroimmunology, which is basically the study of how the psyche, the mind affects the immune system. And so anything you can do to support that system. And then another thing that I'm seeing in a lot of people lately is staying indoors much more often. And sometimes that is really necessary, because I do have some patients that live in crowded apartment buildings in a crowded city. And getting out is a dangerous thing, because this virus is extremely contagious. But we have to balance that with the fact that staying indoors suppresses the immune system. And we know this from research on people that are forced to stay indoors, like in prison situations and stuff like that. People's immune system. And why is that? Do you know why? Well, the ancients would say it's because we need fresh air. But I don't really know. I just know that we change when we get out, and especially getting out into nature. There's studies showing that the stress hormones drop down just by short exposure to nature. And so you do what you can on that. But those are some fundamental things. And looking at nutrition to see if you're having all of the right vital nutrients to support your immune system. And these days I've been talking to people, especially about the antioxidants, like the carotenoids, which are found in carrots, and it's the pigment that is in pigmented vegetables, so the orange and the red colors, the yellow colors. This is something that was observed about 100 years ago in one of the earliest research studies on nutrition. They were studying school children and what determined how many sick days they had looking at their diet. They took, and it was tens of thousands of school children they did this with. And they found that it, the biggest thing was the amount of carotenoids they had in their diet. This boosts up the immune system, while at the same time cooling down the inflammatory response of the immune system. And it looks like it can be helpful with what people are seeing with the cytokine storm of COVID-19, where the inflammation gets really, really out of control. So thank you for that.  So what is an unlicensed healer? Yes, one of my favorite subjects. So I am a licensed healer. Okay, but I have a long history of kind of back and forth on that. I started by, I started as a massage therapist, and then I was, you know, making a lot of recommendations to people, and I was, you know, counseling people, and you know, was working as a professional healer, but I had no license at all. Actually, this was back in the days when massage therapists weren't required to have licenses. And then I decided I wanted to, like, get really serious about my education, and I felt like I had to get a license. So I became a licensed physician in the state of Washington. And then to make a long story short, I felt like I had to move to California, but California wouldn't support my license. So I just basically hung up a shingle saying that I was a wellness consultant. And I started applying my same tools, you know, I was doing homeopathy and herbalism and body work and counseling, probably mostly counseling. And in order to do that legally, I did actually have to learn some things about the law, and I got some counseling from a lawyer. And I learned that basically we can work in support of people's health with an understanding of medicine and we can provide a great deal of health. And then what happened is I was kind of following the rules of being an unlicensed healer, and then because of certain laws changing in California, I became licensed as a doctor here, which stands today. I'm a licensed primary care doctor. But what I found is that once I'd gotten used to working as an unlicensed healer, it wasn't necessarily going to be all that different once I started working people with the license. A few things changed. Like I could use the language in a different way. I could make the diagnosis. I could tell someone you have this, or you know, or you don't have that. And that's kind of a certain power that is afforded to people that have a license, but it isn't necessarily what people need for their healing. I have kind of a different perspective on it, which I would say is really the ancient perspective on what it means to be a doctor. So the word doctor actually means teacher. And I think that is the best thing that we can be as healers. We are teachers. You know, we can educate people about their immune system, about nutrition, or about how the emotions are affecting them. And then they can basically make the diagnosis themselves if that should be necessary. And that is more and more what people are doing. So I've kind of made it my mission lately to empower people to take that up and take up the healing work that they're doing as serious medicine.  So, yeah, that an unlicensed healer is someone who is basically supporting health, but stepping outside of the restrictions of the licensed professions. Got it. Got it. So there are a lot of unlicensed healers watching this probably. Okay, good. There's a class you teach. You may teach several classes to unlicensed healers. These are online courses so people can take them from anywhere. And one of the classes you teach is pathology. Yes. Now, do you have a certain passion for that? You have taught it for a while. Why should unlicensed healers of all types learn pathology? Well, I think there's several reasons. And first of all, I think it helps you to understand the depth of your work. So a lot of healers see themselves as only working on like the emotions, for example, or the spiritual level with a person. And you can think, well, maybe yeah, that's going to be good for them. That's going to be good for their physical health and all that stuff. But when you actually study pathology, which is the study of disease actually, you begin to see the early ways in which these things form in people's lives. And it gives you a depth of understanding of people. That's what I find. And there's also a special kind of connection that you can make with people when they know that you know something about pathology, about the way the body works and the way that things can go wrong sometimes. You can hold a space for someone through their healing process, and it makes it easier when you're facing people who do have a real health challenge. You can you can witness what's going on with them and have a depth of understanding about it. And also some awareness of, you know, when things are, when things are going okay and when things are not going okay, you can learn to, you know, when it's necessary to send people out for some further medical care. So it's in a way, keeping them safe. And I just have to say that when I first started to learn the subject, I had a lot of resistance about it. I mean, I wanted to learn the healing arts, you know, I wanted to learn to help people. And, you know, the subject of pathology just seemed altogether dark and negative. Yeah, yeah, it's like, it's like, why are we focusing on the negative that's exactly positive and the things that we can do right. Exactly, exactly. I think I did kind of fight it a bit through my education. But then when I started actually sitting with people after that education, I found that I could be much more present and a deeper understanding of what is going on with them. So there's those reasons and many others too. I mean, pathology is a kind of language of medicine. And when people, for instance, receive a diagnosis, they usually get kind of immersed in that language. Like, we're seeing that with COVID-19 right now. I mean, I have friends and patients that seem to know more about it than I do.  And people are learning about cytokines and the cytokine storm and all this stuff. And that's what people do. A lot of people, not everybody, but a lot of people do. And if you're a healer and you have some depth of understanding about that and maybe a more broad depth of understanding about it.  What can actually happen? It helps you get to a deeper level with people. Another, I want to ask you about two other classes you teach. One is cardiology and the other one is about the gut. You know, you also recommend this for unlicensed healers as well. Yeah. Why cardiology? Well, it's one of the main subjects of pathology and it happens to be the form of pathology that affects most people in the modern world. Pathology is a big issue for basically everyone. It is the number one cause of death in the modern world. Well, cardiology, heart disease is what I should say. Pathology of the heart is the number one cause of death. And the heart is such an interesting aspect of us. I mean, it is this emotional center for us as well. And I, you know, I want people to study this as deeply as possible, but to leave out what we know about the diseases of this part of the body, the diseases of the system. To me, it's like leaving out a big, pretty big part of it because if you start working with people healing their heart, you are literally affecting their physical heart as well. It has deep ramifications and I think that it's hard to appreciate that without knowing some of the depth around that. So cardiology for healers is what I have is sort of like the first line course on that and I do want to cover all of the different systems of the body and the subjects of pathology, infectious disease, and all of these things to really make a well rounded healer. And then the gut is also something that you teach. And so what about the gut? I mean, actually, I would say the gut is sort of microbiome.  So tell us a bit about that. Yeah, well, this would be a class in covering all of the major pathologies of the gut, as well as how to approach healing on that part of the body and here is another really fascinating and core part of healing. There's this ancient idea that health begins in the gut. And when you think about it, our whole bodies really begin in the gut. Whoops, sorry. Turn that up there. So we begin from our gut, if you look at any part of your body, you know, you can look at your, your fingernail. And if you could look at it really, really closely and you could look right down at the atoms of your fingernail, and see where those come those atoms of your fingernail are literally atoms of food that you ate about six months to one year ago. That's literally what it is made of. And so when we start looking at this transformative process that begins in the gut to create who we are it's it shows that the gut is really important. And a lot of people are learning things today about the microbiome. And I'll cover that somewhat in the course but a lot of what I'm going to be covering is kind of the the basics of pathology again the basics of gut pathology to understand all of these different things that can go wrong and can create acute illness and chronic illness and how to recognize that in people and how to support natural healing in that area. That's great. Thank you so much, Tim for for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. So the website is learn healing arts.com learn healing arts.com. I'll be sure to put the link in the notes of the video. If anyone's watching this and is in California you can actually, you know engage with Dr Tim for virtual ethnic appointments, you can't do this with people outside of California though. Yeah, one of the restrictions of having a license. It restricts me to working with people in California because it's a California license. Right, right. But but anyone anywhere in the world can take your online courses on these different things. Yes, maybe people will request courses from you but you definitely have the cardiology one the pathology one the gut one is coming up. So anything else Tim you want to share before we finish the conversation. No, I think that's good. So yeah thank you for having me. Yeah, absolutely thank you for doing your work. Thank you.


We're all just passing time That's it That's all we're doing and People are doing that in different ways now. I know Scott. This is channel obvious But hear me out because why are you complicating things so much than if it's that simple? It's so simple that since we're all passing time and we got on average like 80 years to do it What are you doing with the time? How are you passing it? Because it's gonna pass regardless. That's what everyone's doing. How do you want to pass it and how do you need to pass it?


Hello friends and subscribers, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosehill. Actually, this is Daniel's AI clone that he generated earlier using a program called Heygen. If you missed out on all that weirdness, then check out the last video that I uploaded and you can learn how you too can create a digital avatar clone of yourself. In case you don't feel like watching that video, then let me give you the quick summary. This isn't actually Daniel. This is a computer-generated video using a digital clone of Daniel that was made with artificial intelligence. What a time to be alive. Well, today is actually an interesting day for non-AI Daniel because he's just picked up a brand new custom-built desktop computer from Ivory Computers, which is one of the main computer store chains here. So I thought that this would be a good excuse to do a quick video talking about that while simultaneously using up my Heygen credits. So firstly, I'm a big desktop fan and always have been. I put my computer through a lot of work editing video and audio, and when you want your computer to be an absolute workhorse, many including me would argue that desktops still have the definite edge over their more portable cousins, the laptops. You can simply build a more powerful machine for the dollar when building a desktop, and it's generally a lot easier to swap out and upgrade components. To the best of my knowledge, in most countries, if you want a desktop computer, you have one of two options. You either build one yourself, which requires a bit of wizardly and fidgeting around with tech spec sheets, or alternatively you buy a pre-made desktop off the shelf. The first is great in theory, but takes time and patience. The last means that you're usually stuck with a generic computer that isn't exactly what you need. Ivory and KSP computers offer a third option that I think is actually kind of an amazing middle ground. In my opinion, for your average customer, it actually makes more sense than either of the alternative approaches to desktop buying I mentioned above. Their default mechanism for building desktops is that you sit down with a computer geek, tell him or her what you need, and then he suggests the spec assembled from components that he's selected individually. You can then discuss alternative components per your requirements or upgrade or downgrade components to fit your budget. The only limitation is that you do need to choose components from the company's parts inventory, but you're still left with a pretty wide choice. Once you've agreed on the spec and paid for the build, the company goes ahead and assembles your computer in their national laboratory. Mine was ready for collection in just five days. This means that you get a completely customized computer without having to actually build the thing yourself. Someone who actually knows what they're doing takes care of all that stuff. My computer geek was Leor. Here's some footage of him typing on a keyboard and helping select the components for my new computer. And here's the pretty large box that I picked up from the store just now. The first desktop that I built this way is still going strong after almost a decade of intensive daily use. I'm upgrading because this computer was never built for video editing, and I want something more powerful to support my content creation and my business. My wife is going to inherit my old desktop for her architecture business, and I might also use it as a dedicated machine for video rendering. So yay to us, more computers in our lives. It's true that buying computers where I live is generally more expensive than buying them abroad. However, I think that Ivory and KSP offer a major value add through this service. You don't have to pay extra for the assembly, and your custom built computer is covered under a warranty, which wouldn't be the case if you built it yourself. In my opinion, this customized buying experience and the warranty backing the build makes the added cost totally worth it, especially if your desktop computer is a core part of your business. In my opinion, custom building a desktop through Ivory or KSP gives you the best of both worlds. You get the flexibility of full customization without having to actually build the thing yourself. And you're still of course free to make as many upgrades as you want to keep the computer running the latest software. Thanks for watching. This was my first ever AI generated video using my clone slash avatar. Hey guys, this is Real Daniel again. That was up to now my digital AI clone, narrating this video. I discovered this cloning technology from Heijen a few days ago, and I've just been absolutely fascinated by it. And I thought as a one time experiment, I had to do one video that was presented with my AI clone. So although that was presented by a digital avatar attempting to copy me, I did write the script, and I have to say that I stand by what I said. I love desktop computers. And although it's generally more expensive to buy hardware not in Israel than not in Israel, that's kind of a little bit tricky to do when it comes to building desktops like you could buy or ship in all your components, but then putting them together is going to be kind of a hassle. So I actually am really a big fan as I mentioned of this service the KSP and Ivory do. These are like the two biggest computer chains in the country. They have branches in most major cities and you just walk in, tell the guy what you want from your computer. They build it and the computer that I'm recording this video on right now, my soon going to be old computer, has been in use like a lot over the past decade. And I've upgraded the RAM, but basically nothing else. And it's been amazing computer, but I thought it was time to future proof a little and get something that's going to hopefully support future years of video editing in 4k resolutions and beyond. Thanks for watching this video. I'd be very curious to hear what people thought of this whole wacky hey gen experiment, my digital avatar. The accent was off. It was a little bit lifeless, but I still think that it's amazing tech. And I'm very interested to see where this tech is going to be in three years time when it's had a chance to mature a little bit. Thanks for watching today's video. Hope this was helpful. If you're in the market for a desktop computer, I do really recommend this approach. Go into your nearest branch of KSP and Ivory. Tell them what you need. Get us back. Negotiate over it. And hopefully you'll end up with a computer that's really, really purpose built for what you need to get out of it. Subscribe for more videos and more are on the way.


So the line up here number nine then on the inside for France is Dimitri Bershaw. Gate number two for Finland it's Timo Larty. Rasmus Jensen coming out for his first ride. For Denmark out of gate number three and gate number four for Australia is Max Frick. Certainly Rasmus Jensen will not be scared to put himself about. He is a hard charger and there's no doubt he's an entertaining rider to watch and he's an entertaining rider to have a chat with. He's got a lively cat. He is a lively chap. The word with him on the way to when they were doing the track walk and he's full of life as always. The manager of France is keenly looking on pressure on France now. They've brought in one of the big guns here and Dimitri Bershaw. Bershaw has had a cup of the strong rides tonight so far with two second places. So going quite nicely. If Bershaw gets in the mood it can be quite a spoiler. He's got that inside gate so that could be quite useful. Gate number nine, third block of races. A bit of movement from Larty, Larty absolutely flew out of gate number two. He steps, he's authority on the third gate. No real surprise that the red lights are flashing on him. Bit of movement on the start line and Timo Larty possibly the one that's going to be penalised here. I'm sure I'll get a warning for that. I don't think he was actually moving when the tapes went up but he certainly could have unsettled the opposition then. Referee Alexander Lyosensky from the Ukraine here. You will see rider in the second gate number two just a little bit of movement. Yeah he was still when the tapes went up but of course you know you can't be moving on the start and I think the referee will have deemed that he may have unsettled some of the opposition and he certainly seemed to make a good start, may have gained an advantage there. Yeah I'm not sure that Berger would have been put off because he's looking the other way but we're hearing it confirmed now that Larty will now carry a warning throughout the rest of the evening. If he does something similar he will then be excluded so it's pretty draconian rules now for riders on the start line but I think probably it was pulled back as a consequence of him making the start Chris. Yeah I agree with you he wasn't actually rolling when the tapes went up but he made the start so that was probably the reason the red light came on. Only a minute now allowed for riders to get back to tapes at the restarting. Can we have a coat down please? Can we have a coat down please? Ten seconds! It's going to be very tight indeed, eight, seven proper countdown here. They're going to get there with two seconds left. Wow that was tight indeed for his first race for the ninth. Heat number nine, second time of asking. The Aussies still tapes up, first chase made a good start. It's untied again in the first corner that allows Larty on the inside. Oh Frick's gone down, driver out of the first corner there, Rasmus Jensen red lights on again, drama in heat number nine. See what Max Frick could be in danger of going out here. I'll have to see it again, didn't see if there was any contact. It was a contact but it would be hard on Bergeri I think but I'll have to see it again. But being the exit of the first corner, could well exclude Frick here. See it again Chris? Yeah Frick coming off the outside gate for that and the ride of that Bergeri, just gets a bit of grip, comes across the corner now Max Frick's going to run. He gets a bit of a nudge from Larty there but I'll tell you what, it would be very harsh there on Dimitri Bergeri because he did get a little bit of a nudge from the inside as Larty came through there. So yeah we're hearing it's all four riders, I think that's the right decision Kelvin. Just see there Bergeri just being eased out of the way by Larty and he had no choice. So the right decision made by the referee there, all four back. We want to see four riders in a race, tense times here in Speedway World Cup semi-final number two. Look at that punching up there. Bergeri a little bit all over the place initially. Yeah he dealt with it though and that obviously wasn't the problem. It's just here when Timo Larty comes through, just moves him over.  But it is the first time, I think it's the right call. So we'll see it again Dimitri Bergeri of course. A former World Cup champion has ridden very well for France in the past. He was terrific in Manchester a couple of years ago in the Speedway World Nations and he's got something about him. He can be a little bit up and down at times but when he's in the mood I can say that Bergeri is capable of winning races anywhere, anytime. So he's got a second opportunity. Max Frick just taking his time. There's the position we've got after eight races. Three points in front for Denmark who are really going along nicely tonight. Australia under pressure. They will not want to go to the race off Australia. It's going to be a tight tussle. I think that's going to go all the way. It's not over that tussle. No question that neither of these teams want to race on Friday night. That's going to be a very, very tight one. In the past some of the race-off meetings in the Speedway World Cup have been truly outstanding. Quite often times the best was three on the week. And Tino Sweden are there of course with the Czech Republic already. Max Frick just having his helmet checked as he had a bit of a thump on the track. First of course. It's okay. Max Frick who like a lot of riders in the Speedway World Prix this year. Just struggling with his own consistency. But rode well, very well with Jack Holder last year. When they came through with a terrific result in Denmark to win gold there in the Speedway World Nations. That was a very fine display from Australia last year in Denmark. Yeah, and I think Max will let this unsettle him too much. He's a pretty understated, fairly laid-back sort of character. He'll keep his calm. Team obviously working very hard to get things right with his bike. If you haven't got that ready, it's been like four minutes. If you haven't got the people to do it, you're going to have to go on that bike, sorry. Mechanics haven't got the other wheel ready yet. Sorry, Max. They haven't even changed your front wheel, mate. Based right to there, Bill Royce calling the shots. He'd be more proactive with it so much time. He can give the team there. Yeah, they're under pressure here, Australia. They're behind, three points behind Denmark. One of their big hitters here and certainly having to work furiously hard. They've changed bikes already. He didn't like the first one. So he will not be best pleased to have to go back out on that. They're working furiously hard to try and get that bike ready for the restagings of the race. No, we can't give them much more. He's like, what's happening now? What are they doing? Well, Phil Royce is trying to be as fair as he possibly can here. The other bike is ready, but they clearly want to get that bike that was chosen for the race originally. Ready for the rewind. I think they're going to just about do it. Two minutes ago, go on. Sorry, guys. Two minutes is on, please. We're going on two. Two minutes, guys! Two minutes is on. Yeah, Phil Royce tries to be as fair as possible. Obviously, he has an ex-rider himself. He realised that Max Frick was an innocent party there and he shouldn't be penalised. He should give him every opportunity to get his bike ready to go, but it seems like they've run out of time this time. So, Ryan is now reappearing. It's taking some time to get heat number nine underway here with Team Olati already on a warning, then the clash coming out of gate turn number two. Max Frick up at tapes. So, he's out there, ready to go. Under pressure off of gate number four. There's no doubt about that.  They need to start stealing some points back off of Denmark, who are going along very nicely indeed. And Jensen certainly was well and truly amongst that. Berger was. It was all action as they came out of the first corner for the second staging of heat number nine. This is the third time of asking Demetri Berger over the inside for France. Gate number two for Benjamin to Team Olati. Gate number three for Denmark as Rasmus Jensen off the outside. Max Frick for Australia. Dusted himself down. Prepared to go again for the third time, which is a little untidy on the entrance to the corner the first time around. And Thornton went off the line charging on the inside. That's what opened the door for Team Olati to charge through. And that's exactly what started the whole sequence of events. So finally now, Ryder's coming forward. The third block of races to get underway. Here we go then. It's like the tape's up. Away we go. Certainly Lati's made another good start, but Berger forces his way through there. They're tight there. Rasmus Jensen Frick certainly coming through, but Jensen's very nearly running in the back of Berger. Here comes Lati on the inside. Oh my goodness, how another day aboard each other. That was a strong move there from Team Olati. But out in front, Berger who's had a couple of second places already tonight going great guns for France. She had dodges on the opening laps here at 8-9, but it's Berger. What a great first turn from him. He didn't actually make a clear start, but he just was determined to get to the corner. Almost ran his wheels over the wide line and got himself to the front. And he's not looking back, but it's a great race from the reserve there for Denmark. Rasmus Jensen really, really working hard to stay ahead of Lati. It's good news for France though, and looking good for a first victory of the night. And it's bad news for Australia with Jensen in second place and Max Frick out in the back. Suddenly Denmark are going to extend their lead. Look at Berger. He's in the mood tonight. No question about that. Fine rider. And this is a fine display form France. Brilliant way to come through there. Tight for third. Very tight between Frick and Lati on that charge to the checkered flag. But the Jensen in second place, certainly Denmark extending their lead. We'll wait for the confirmation of third place there because it got awfully close indeed. But what we do know, is France with desperate provides and they pick up a valuable win there in heat number nine. Smashing right for Berger there. So two second places in a win tonight. It's pretty impressive from him. Impressive. Yeah it is impressive. And this first term was impressive too because he doesn't actually make a clear start. Look how narrow he is. He's got the front wheel on the actual astro turf there and it gets awfully tight as they come down the back straight on the opening lap. And Rezmus Jensen there does well to avoid the back wheel of Berger as he turns in the corner. It gets tight for Max Frick. And T-Main Lati once again working so hard out there for Finland.  Jensen wasn't quick but he rode very defensively and had to and he was not going to get passed by Lati. No chance at all. And they did give Frick half a chance here. That was not everybody was tied but Lati just about hung on and that was a blow for Australia. So the result then


so you just want to do nothing not a problem set edge to do nothing anytime you don't want to accidentally click on an edge so if you only want to make adjustments to faces or you only want to make adjustments to points just set edge mode to do nothing hope that helps and as always hope you have a fantastic day now see you around
