So I'm Irini and I'm based at the Victorian Albert Museum as Laura said and Watermass a gallery in West London and I set up the digital programs team at the P&A in 2008 and then started curating the exhibition program with new media art at Watermass in 2010 so Like since since I started Working like at both places like since the beginning I was I was I have been involved very much with the maker culture, but also with working with technologies and engineers artist designers, so I was very interested in kind of Try and experiment a little bit with a with a museum and like very traditional format and the gallery format to see how We can bring people together to collaborate, but also to Talk discuss critical like have critical discussions about technology and the impact of technology but also Have like give opportunities to Community engage with communities of makers, but also who do not identify as like Makers or designers, etc. and try to work together and bringing professionals together with like the general like public so So this is how Programs like the digital futures came up and I'm just going to talk through about this and a few examples about the work that we've been doing so So digital futures started as some sort of like a networking and exchange and collaboration Enabling platform and it was about and still is about bringing people together from different backgrounds like as I said before like from Humanities, but also engineering making design art, etc. All working with or interested in technology and impact of technology in like culture and society so So the idea behind the the the project was to not To have like to bring in professionals like on a stage as you know like the actors But to get everybody around and start collaborating and working together so some some of the the projects that I want to kind of focus on is these International but also like national exchange and collaborative work, which was very much looking at like Common problems like I don't know like in cities or environments or how we work, etc. or in our homes and try to Bring in like design, but also professional like professionals who work with engineering and making and just to to see how we could Make how could we could make things more relevant to to people to and to everyday life So so we had one of these when we started these projects like one of the first ones that we did was these The one that you see the slide up here and it was actually at an international level and it was an exchange between Mexico City and Dundee and then eventually London and we were very interested in We were very interested in to have discussions about like smart cities and innovation and to to understand a little bit about you know how You know people in communities they what's how they understand innovation or how they invent things in their communities in their homes, etc so So One thing that I should say that I should have said is that one one important like part of how the whole program works And this project in particular is about like slow Making and slow technology and slow processes rather than You know like looking at like fast and consuming Technologies and and objects and products So so it's very much about these collaborations that come together and then we develop work we exchange skills and knowledge and Socializing and then we develop work over time. So what we what we've done with this project was that? we had a group of people from the UK who traveled to Mexico City and They and then and at the same time there was like an open call for like communities in Dundee And the whole idea we first we wanted to gather data about like how what people do in their every Everyday life in the city and the space where they live. So they started collecting over like the period of a month with different With with different institutions in Dundee and Mexico City like different like yes data about what data like from their everyday journey to work to like rubbish collection to science in the city food everything and then we started sharing these This material between the two cities. So and Eventually what happened is that we had a long weekend, which is not really a very long time to for these two cities the communities in both cities to come together online and And start working together. So so first of all in we started with the bit a cora de hacedores in the binocular binocular of makers in in Mexico City, which is a network of of makers and engineers and hackers and it's they what they do is that the purpose is to help Citizens and users in Mexico City to to understand how to best use their resources and spaces to make things and change things so So one the picture on the that you see there of the group on the street was when we we had walking tours in both Spaces like in both cities in Mexico City and Dundee at the same time And another reason for that was that we wanted to first We wanted to find out more about like the make the makers who are not really identifying as makers but like the artisans people who invent things in the in the cities, but they are like slowly lost and Also to understand a little bit more about at an international level about Things that happen in Mexico City and things that happen in in Dundee, which are very very different like 150 Citizens in Dundee like with and 22 million in in Mexico City But we wanted to focus on similar ideas. So for example, I don't know if you can see that slide at the top here So some of the topics that we were interested in was from environmental issues waste food climate change sustainability, etc. And So they spent the whole weekend working together and have live Connections between the the two cities presenting work at its other and talking about the cities And there was a series of projects that came out of that Which then we presented at the V&A and this included like from guides to unknown places in cities which are going beyond like what we What's the the the standard things that we would find on a guide as somebody who is visiting a place or like going after like stereotypes or but also Creating devices for example like yes talking about transport issues at both places, but also Waste, etc. And then there were a few projects that happen in like to Try and connect the two cities like this one with a pink picture there, which is actually a group of like of People of the visitors from the UK with the Mexicans who took part in the events via the open call and They built this abstract device to to connect the two venues that we were using in Dundee and Mexico City And so they so the device was measuring light levels in Dundee and then It was outputting levels the levels in in that space. They are in Mexico City was which is the memorial room It's an it's a massive space in the center of Mexico City so like just Going like continuing on this idea of like trying to work with Bringing together professionals with With communities and Understanding, you know just having this exchange another Project that we did which is kind of continuing in a way from the previous one that I mentioned was the the Unboxed Caravan in In Ahmedabad in India and Unboxed Caravan was a project that was initiated by Unboxed Labs Who are community of designers makers engineers? in and technologies in in Delhi and They have been doing really amazing work with working with people across the country and Doing street events and engaging them in in making hacking technologies and also every like IOT but community led IOT projects. So so this was So Mozilla was also part of this event and British Council which meant that they brought together people from across India and also from the UK and the US and So there was so we worked with this was an even slower event which was great It was it took place over two weeks Which meant that we had plenty of time to go around to meet makers to meet to meet artisans in different areas of Ahmedabad like from textiles to pottery to Printmaking etc. And then we sort of did many collaborations with them We started visiting them every day then spending time with them and then started Building things with them and understanding their traditional ways of making but also how we could bring what they make and in contact with like young Generations and in particular with the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, which has an amazing Spay and an amazing department of interaction design, but also technology So we worked with the students there and the so the project this the pictures that you see there is from Work that we did with the students, but also with community groups. So for example the one at the far right there is It's it's a connected it it was called connected Paul and Paul Paul's in Ahmedabad are the kind of Their space areas in the city where people from this similar from the same families a religion or professions or Artisans live together. So they are clusters of and So so these was they were exploring the So one of the things that we were exploring at the connected Paul was What what makes a connected home or what we were talking about? Internet of things and how this is relevant to communities and people and How we can talk about connectivity in homes, but also with communities and What and of course the main thing that is was central in our work and it still is was this idea of like That's a connected home or a connected community or a space or a city, etc Is about like conversations about people interacting and And about emotions. So it was very like it was very important to keep that human Factor in the in the middle. So these was This was a way for women in the same polls to Send messages to each other like and and communicate the recipes, etc. So it was a very low-tech project and And then just going on after these there was another step to this the same idea of like Again with how Internet of things becomes relevant to two communities in Anstruther with Mozilla open IOT Open IOT studio and and Again, that was where we worked with like it I was not so much involved with that with that project there, but more as a kind of observer, but We are doing another phase at the V&A, which I'm gonna talk about it in a minute so so the idea with that was to work with the in answer there with the Fisher with the local fishermen with young people and farmers and Pro like understand like how they who how they use technology But also how they would like to use it as well in the future So for example a group of teenagers a hacked an old phone box and they because they wanted to create a network for For them in Anstruther where they could communicate and share ideas and share events, etc.  So Since the people from all these projects like some of them are coming over to the V&A in September on the 24th and 25th where We're doing an open Design sprint which is basically we want it's we want to talk about the future of engineering or like a shared vision about what we want the future of technology and engineering and digital future to be and it's going to be We're going to have like a very open prototyping event, but also discussions and hopefully come up with some sort of ideas at the end and manifesto so I Thought I should just say are also a few other examples of the same from the same series of the project on again on collaborative and international work and one big area of the of themes that I've been exploring at the with this with digital futures is electronic waste and Because electronic waste is like is one of the fastest growing waste streams, especially in the In the global north as we say including the UK so So we had so we have been doing like several gatherings talking about sustainability, but also waste and and and design and This was a project that we wanted to talk about like to talk about the exchange between countries who import and export electronic waste, but also to To talk to bring up the the perspective from like in terms of like workers rights at sea at dump sites for example in in different countries like in Asia or or South America or like or Africa, but also in in in terms of like in way wasting waste recycling sites as well in in in Europe and In in South America. So so what we've done is that we brought together a group of that was led by Daniel Pleuser and We brought together a group of scientists artists Technologies, but also environmentalists as well and we did a series of like workshops at e-waste recycling sites with people working there and So we we did some we spent some time with them working at this at the sites in Nigeria and Hong Kong as well and in in the UK in Kent at sweep and And then we had like Conversations and public discussions about all these exchanges and and and research and talking about like Production and consumption, but also as I said before like people at the sites where electronic recycling is taking place so so one of these outcomes was An event that happened with the restart project and I'm sure some of you will be familiar with the restart project and it's it's a great collective in in based in London and The at maker of versity and they have been running these repair sessions around the country but also they have links with people abroad as well and they also help people to Set up their own repair sessions so so we we kind of brought in them we brought them into the v&a and then we had like a half a day repair session, but also we wanted to Get to to and we wanted to to to have discussions with what happens like Outside like with in Africa for example in particular in in Kenya in Nairobi So we had this live where there are loads of groups. So instead of you know looking at the We just wanted to go over this vision of the of the Western world of Africa as just simply a place where you know People dump usually the electronic waste, but look at their inventiveness and all the these repair workshops that they have and the the sustainable way that they have to to recycle E-waste so so we were talking about this utopian vision of like zero zero waste If that can ever happen and understand a little bit how it works in in a place like Nairobi for example So we had these live discussions with the The repair shops over there and then we had the the actual repair workshop at the v&a and Just continuing of this Like theme of e-waste. It was that was a Project that I did at not at the v&a But in the in the other space where I'm working at Watermass and I was very interested in like using the idea of like the space the gallery as a space to to bring people in and Make it again like an active space and talk about important issues like in this case e-waste. So I Don't know if you are familiar with Paul Grandzon's work. He works a lot with robotics and recycled material and he has been this this a series of workshops that he's been running called rexops and What we've done was that we this is what we wanted to do with the gallery space to create like an ongoing rexop So rexops is are these series of events where you invite people to Use a combination of recycled technologies and open source electronics and create and build things but what we actually did was that we wanted to To use to find first of all to give people an idea of how much e-waste we have around us So we brought in the gallery and a mountain of e-waste that we found at Watermass But also in the local area and we invited people to bring their own e-waste and some of them did And also we invited to like locals because that was a series of a project that we did with local residents and So so they were quite if there were loads of people who have been working with like bike bikes Repairs or like building machines, etc. So it was great to have them in and then built and create things together So so it was like an e-waste upcycling unit in in the space for for a couple of months And these were the two the this is not the work that they created This was work that Paul Granzon brought in the space, which is very typical of what he does. So so there is Here first the first one is this is called biting machine and it's like a recycled VCR and Scooter electric scooter and what he does is that it has sensors and people it kind of fall tries to find people and like actually go after them and bite them and so so it's So he's very interested in these relations between like Human and machine, but also and tensions as well And the other one is works in a similar way the auto the autonomous robotic gun again it scans the space and then when it finds people then it shoots at them and We unfortunately we had to to take this down after a few days because it was somebody tried to To take it from the gallery and they probably thought it was a real gun I don't know so and these these are some of the a couple of examples of what people build during the these rex ops in the gallery and The it's a geranium life support system and so so so we use like a broken laptops and To create that like thing of the top of the geranium which is covered by daylight approximation LED lighting system and And then there is there was a sensor in the pot to to detect the dampness in the soil and And actually water as a plant and the plants had to the plants had to survive in the gallery without light and For almost six weeks and they did at the end and but so so what we had which you can't see in this picture was a pump To which was to activate it for the to water the plant and the pump was activated via a peddle Pedal system that was built in the gallery as well And it was it was like a handmade it was like a bike generator which was built with help from the guys at the guy who had these bike repairs place and So it was actually visitors in the space. They had to site to cycle to To water the the actual plant and it did it did work So something else I'm not keeping track of time. So maybe you can okay, so so something else that goes a bit in a in a more kind of Futuristic scenario of in terms of like not not exactly waste, but also environmental issues issues is this project that Has been developed is ongoing and has been developed in collaboration with different universities across the UK and it's called this project called cleaning land for wells and It's from the EPS RC It's yeah, it's like it's funded by the EPS RC and They have been working the scientists involved in the in the project They have put they have brought on board these artists designers who have who have been working a lot in the digital futures program at the V&A and They they wanted they were interested to find a way to come to help the public understand what they were doing so so these Cleaning land for wealth is basically a project where they have been Interested in doing research to understand how we can recover valuable nano metals from from the soil so so Michael Barton and it's equal need a who have been working they have been collaborating with them They came to the V&A and they built these instruments and to that kind of explain the process of the Of that the scientists are using to recover the the nano metals But also like by the biotechnology behind that so but also it's There is another phase to the project which is coming back to the V&A in September again And it's looking at a more kind of like speculative and Like future scenario of how if eventually, you know, we have to you know through the food to consume all these Substances like then how are you know if there is If we can look at the post like the extreme possibility of like redesigning like organs in the body, you know to help To help to help us digest for example of these these substances So it's a speculative project I'm not how much time I've got five minutes. Okay, so So maybe I'll go. Okay, so just a couple of sorry. Let me see. Good. Okay, so I've got three more slides anyway so so another another Area that we have been Interested in and looking at is data and but also Like currencies and how we understand Currencies and in the in a digital world. So we've done we had Heidi Heim there on for six months to work with with with the museum with different professionals around the museum, but also with the public and we just wanted to have discussions about About don't yet about the the value of public organizations and arts organizations and also You know how we can understand Like for example the value of like art and design and when people come through the doors in in a public space like the V&A so so we've been and so in order to get like to have this quite quite abstract discussions we designed a series of prototypes and wearables and that people could use to make Donation to the V&A. So that these was like a series of Gloves or like Bads and there was a top dancing machine as well And it was based on different gestures. So we were looking at interaction as a way of like transaction transacting money but also Looking at the ideas of like for example Yeah, like how how we can go beyond like the money as an object how we can look at societies For example who exchange money without like money by exchanging different You know products or like thinking of alternative ways of Exchanged basically and and value So so what what how these work that was like a basic like a basic like RFID The device with scanners so it was every time you did a handshake with someone or a high five So the idea was that we would use that at the shop or the cafe at the V&A And that was a way for people to actually give pay for their for the make a transaction and Or donate money to the museum so we had a series of Events bringing in economies at the at the museum as well and also outside But also people who work with Let's say yeah hacking Finance or money or interested in kind of you know looking at alternative ways of of Exchanged and and transactions So we did a series of prototyping events building or understanding You know how we could imagine different systems in in these kind of scenarios and This is an an ongoing project So we are hoping that The prototypes are still There and running, but we're hoping that we can eventually build an Alternative donation system for the museum that people can use I don't know if it's going to be based on these wearables or like prototypes might become something different But that was just like an initial way to give us an idea of what might come up What we might come up with and so Just to go back to the to and just to close also to these Using the the museum for example as a space to have these critical discussions about making but also outside the museum Not necessarily at the V&A always and as I said I was involved with a group of people in the mini maker fair in in London the elephant castle mini maker fair a few years ago and But after doing a couple of Events the fairs we thought that it was really important to do to start up like a space where we could have These very important discussions about maker culture and talk about for example Center, but also like Dave like diversity activism Etc. So so we set up maker assembly, which is a gathering that we have been doing now since October 2015 and The the next one the sorry the the last one that we did was a few just two days three days ago in Seffield and This is where this is coming from and I'm sorry. It's really bad this slide, but We've been talking about activism and Consequences and home. So for example, how I'm Looking at from historical maker movements to the present day how tech craft And making have come together or have been used as a as tools for change, but also Look exploring like what people do and what we can do in the future to make an impact and finally We were looking at the idea of like home as well But in terms of like, you know community but also like small groups and how people use Making a tech to take control over their lives their communities their space, etc Which is again is linked to the work that we've been doing with the open IOT as well So this is this slide is from a timeline that we started doing at the event in Seffield and Basically, we're trying to it's very long now It's four meters and it's going to grow even longer But we are trying to we were inviting people at the in Seffield at the maker assembly event to help us put like create this timeline of important of Like what happened like from when they remember or any information they they have to create like a crowdsourced crowdsourced history of maker Culture in the UK, but also have included important thing events from Everywhere around the world. So so this is just in is an on paper right now But we're hoping to put it on on github or just do like an online version where we could Gather more information and have this timeline available on the on the maker assembly website and and share it with everyone and The next event that we're doing will be in Manchester and it will be just before the crafts council makes shift Conference so it's and it's it will be an opportunity to bring a different crowd to the to the space over there and discuss like Have discussions of parallel to that to the conference And just to close here, we've been so we've been trying to have like different groups coming into the museum But going outside as well. So all these sessions they they're not running just at the V&A because I always thought that it's very important to It gates with the communities with people. So it's a traveling like event in a way So it's been going to places from Dundee to Like Seville, but also in East London South London, but also as part of festivals and University events etc and also abroad and And Yeah, and this is a way for like creating a bridge between the a very kind of traditional and formal institution with Communities of people who make things create things invent things and engineer things So so yeah, so if you if you happen to be in London on the 24th and 25th of September come to the open IOT event and Hope we we are hoping that people can help us Create this sort of like not manifesto, but maybe like this third Understanding of what we want, you know the future of like the digital future to be or how we want to use technology And that's it from me.

Hello. Welcome to our case study presentation. It is about building multilingual and multi-domain Drupal websites, and we will present the case study of Sonova together with the client, which is here. Maybe, first of all, a question. Who has already built a multilingual website in Drupal 7? Oh, yeah. Lots of experts in the room. That's great. And who has built a multi-domain website with different content and different domains? All right. Okay. So, we all went through the same thing. That's great. So, I hope also to have some exciting discussions afterwards. I think everyone has his best practices, and this is our goal today. We will share our best practices. So, yeah, this is what we present today. First of all, who we are, then how we met with Sonova, and then shortly talk about the technical setup. Afterwards, we will dive deep into domains and languages, translations. Then we will talk about the limitations. You should know if you built a site like that. And then talk about the methodology, how we work together, and conclude the topic. So, yeah, first of all, who are we? My name is Dagmar Muth. I'm a lead project at AMAZEL Labs, and my tutor handle is Dagmita, and I was, yeah, leading the project from the beginning on. And here with me is our client from Sonova. Hi. My name is Nicholas, and I'm corporate brand manager at Sonova. Now, this introduction will probably raise more questions than it answers, because what is the corporate branding manager doing here when it's about web and Drupal, and what is Sonova? But more about that, talking about how we met. Who is Sonova? Sonova is the leading hearing health care provider in the world with different brands on the market. The most well-known is in the hearing aid segment and this Phonak, but we also have different brands, Unitron, and also for cognitive implants for people who really don't hear well. We have AB, and they're also present in the retail market where we sell hearing aids directly to customers. Now, everything, just a side note, all the companies, basically, they try to get people to hear better. For me, personally, it's really important because I have severe hearing loss, so without those tools, I couldn't be here today, and I enjoy being here today with you. But altogether, Sonova has sales of approximately 2 billion, more than 9,500 employees worldwide and present in more than 90 countries. Now, the brands you have seen have mostly been acquired and grossed, have been added to the company, so it's more of a conglomerate at this point still. And there's more and more centralized functions coming into being. And also, among the employees, we want to create this shared vision of what we actually all do, and it doesn't matter which brand one works on. And this is the decision that was made approximately 2 years ago when management said we need a corporate brand to come to life. And this is basically also the first project, Milestone, because that's where I, as a brand manager, came into the game, because the first thing I would do, I would look at the website, which is the main touch point from a branding perspective, most visitors, etc. And to be honest, Sonova was just an investor brand. It didn't really look good. So the impression one got was not that nice. So, in the end, it was more from, that's why we did it from branding is because we started the project, we said we needed new and better. So, we contacted AMACI early in 2013 and had the project kickoff end of February. And the idea was to, in the first phase, to have to set up new, kind of, from a visual perspective, from a technical perspective. But lots of content actually was just migrated. But what we had as a, from regulatory, for regulatory reasons, at the stock market, we needed to integrate also very delicate third party systems, with automated live publishing, because if something goes wrong there, you can have penalties that cost millions. So it was a very short timeframe to get all this done until May 21st, because May 21st, and Sonova still is an investor brand, is one of the most important days for investors, it's the publication of the full year results. And it was tough. It cost some weekends on my side and AMACI's side as well to get it done. But we're happy, really happy to have it in place until then. It was a huge milestone. Later on this year, we are looking at the international rollout of the brand. So, Brazil came out as one of the first markets where we want to also foster this Sonova spirit. And we of course need a different language, different domains. So, for me, as a brand manager, as a web manager, this is how the site looks. It looks great, I think. But anyway, it helps transport those values that we want to stand for. It helps get the message across that we like to. And Dagmar is going to tell you a little bit more technical. Yeah, so as you see here, the site is fully responsive. It is built with Drupal 7 and the Omega 4 theme. We use Sars and Compass from scratch. We don't like to use tools like Bootstrap because they don't allow us to be really flexible in the design we provide. We would like to be flexible in the grid we use, et cetera. Yeah, then we are using a few in combinations with panels, panels everywhere, and penalizer. There's also out of flexibility reasons. If we penalize nodes, we are able to add blocks on those and have a little bit more of a flexible... We can show flexibly different types of content on pages. Yeah, then there's also a search on this site where we use Apache Solar as a search server. And as Nico already said, there are lots of third-party integrations. And we have integrated them via either via XML or via iFrame. And the companies we have integrated with as investors and tensets. Some of you might use it if you're from a stock listed company. And we have to be really reliable with the website. As Nico already said, it's really important that information is displayed correctly within seconds on the website. So that's why we are hosting at our hosting partner. We have a server cluster there that is dedicated and has a setup for Drupal that we need. And the servers are in Switzerland. That's maybe a special thing also for us. A lot of our clients don't like to host abroad. They would like to keep their data in Switzerland. I don't know if you know they have these mountains where they dig a hole in there and keep the data in there. This is still the thinking. Our servers are not there, but still in Switzerland. So this is all about the basics. Now let's dive in, domains and languages. And first of all, Nico will tell you what requirements he has. As I already said, we had a project in different phases also due to time constraints. In the first phase it was just German because it was Swiss company and English because we're an international company, of course. It was one main global domain. Well, as we are rolling out this employer brand worldwide, we are looking at different countries where we need to have the content available. So Brazil is one of the first countries that came up with own content in Portuguese. And for me, I'm a really lazy guy. So I came to him to amazing and said, I need to have a way to get a hold on things and have people kind of work in structures where I can allow them only to do certain things and to control actually what kind of content is there out in the world because in branding it's all about consistency of information and of looks. So I want limited rights for country managers and country editors but also the possibility to allow them to do certain stuff so I don't have to. And also what's a requirement from my side, from a business perspective is I want to be able to multiply this thing across countries. Next time something pops up, I want this to work for the future. So Dogma is going to tell you how they solved it. Okay, it's going to be a big table and you have to have some energy to digest that. So yeah, first of all, as Nico said, they wanted to have several domains with different content and different rights. So the first thing you do is you build up domains and you use the domain access module for that. And in the case here, we have set up a global domain, a Brazilian domain and a Portuguese domain. If you check on the website, not everything is enabled that we're talking here so that's not bugs but it's just not yet implemented. So what you would like to use is subdomains because in this case there are still a lot of overlap in the design and also in the content we display. So you would not want to have different databases or have a multi-site for that kind of things. If you would implement a multi-site and you would like to change one little thing somewhere overall over your whole set of pages, then you would have to do the change on every instance. So we have taken over websites from clients that were multi-sites and we are now building them back into different domains. Yeah, then as a next step, you would like to have languages, of course. And first of all, if you add languages, you might use a domain local tool module because this helps you to solve a lot of cases with domains and languages, for example, redirects. I think that is kind of an operator. Then there's this big topic of languages. In this case we wanted to have a German and an English for the global domain and we wanted to have for in Brazil English as well and Portuguese as a new language and then in Portugal only Portuguese. Yeah, so what we could do is we could just have three languages, right? German, Portuguese and English. But we decided to split up English and have two different English languages. So one for the global domain and one for the Brazilian domain because what you don't want that your Brazilian content editor editing your global content, you would like them to have different, I would say, ecosystems that they have rights to only their content and that they have their area and that's why we have two languages. But that would also mean that you would have to translate everything again. Like you have English for global but you would like to add another English and that would mean translating everything again and you don't have to, that's a good news. You can use the language fallback module and that works like you use the current language that you already have like in this case it was the global English was already there and then you add the English and Brazilian and say this English Brazil will fall back on English global. So if you start off without any translations it shows you everything from the global domain, all the content from the global domain and then that means you have to just translate what you would like to have additionally and what you would like to have different and that is really a handy solution. So next steps you would do something like domain variants. What is that? So this has to do with SEO. If you set up domains you have to set up like with points like sonova.com.br like real subdomains or sonova.com.pt and Google then decides if they handle these subdomains as two different websites or if they combine them but this is not in your control. So what could happen is that Google decides that they separate these two and then your domain authority would split up between these two subdomains and your ranking thus would be lower. So what you would like to do is you would like to keep the control you would like to bring them under one domain and this is why we have come up with the domain variants module and that allows you to change the URL of the subdomains. So how we change it? If we have the sonova.br domain for example sonova.com.br and we change it and say no you are now sonova.com.bresil.ptbr or bresil.enbr and then you have one domain and it falls all under this. So next point is menu. Okay so I have already talked a little bit about permissions and you would like to base your permissions or you would like to create this ecosystem for these people that are working per domains most of the time like there's one person that is responsible for bresil, one for Portugal, one for global and you would also like to have the flexibility to add different workflows depending on the domains. Nico pointed it out. Some affiliates are stronger and have more independence so they have the possibility to edit content more flexibly and others they are more dependent on the headquarters and you don't allow them to do everything. So that's why you want to take this away and in terms of the menus it means that we have created three different menus like one menu per domain. So that means we have now a global menu and there are the two languages German and English in there and bresil there are the other two languages German and Portugal has the other one. So yeah and here we have also created a module for that it's the domain menu added access. Also sometimes if you have translatable menus they get really really long like you have in one menu you have different languages and if you would have these five languages in your menus I guess you know it's getting hardly manageable especially if you have two times the same language totally total chaos. Right so I have basically already presented that point so maybe I just would like to add about the different permissions. So at Snow White it was important that the Brazilian country managers can't create their own notes. They should only be able to edit existing content and if you have everything nicely separated you can add a different role for the Brazilian country manager. And on the global domain of course the country manager can do everything so that allows you to have different workflows. Then we are almost finished then your users come to the site and you would like to route them to the correct domain and there are two ways how users come to the site the one is they type in something they add a search engine and most of the time they would use Google or they go directly to your website by entering Sonova.com So we have created also a module for that it's the GEO Redirect module and here you can say from which GEO IP should lead to which domain so for example you can tell them Switzerland and Austria should go to the global domain and Brazil and Argentina to the Brazilian domain etc. Then last when you search via Google so in the Google webmaster tools you can set the Google country target and this makes the user come or that tells Google hey if people are in this domain point them to that or if they come from this country point them to this domain and this is what you do after the slashes so a slash global will lead to Switzerland and slash Brazil to Brazil slash Brazil with a set to Brazil and so on so this is also a nice way to tell Google what to do and this is all already and now we go on to translations and as well Niko had very special requirements not sure whether they are so special but we had them of course in the first phase it was only two languages German and English and as I said we migrated most content so content was at hand was mainly copy and paste to get it all in now in the second phase with more and more websites coming up internationally we will have an increase in translations from outsourced agencies for example or also from other people in other countries in our company we don't have one translation agency the whole company works with but it's very diversified how this works also we needed a process to be able to have other people handle this because languages are not spoken at headquarters and I cannot ask my friend next to it can you translate this and again here from this I say Hassel before from copying, pasting to word files and not only the body text but to enter different fields into a word file etc and describe it for a translator to really get this easier and to become faster and more efficient also for the future so Dagmar okay so for translations of course we use field translations with entity translation module this is the way to go also for Drupal 8 and for the translation process we use the translation management tool the TMGMT and this helps you to do all the translations within Drupal you don't have to leave the site you can stay on Drupal no copy and pasting from word files and I think this is a big gain already so I quickly run through the translation process to just give you an insight in a very standard process so first of all I have created a note and it's called Hello Amsterdam I would like to translate it into Portuguese I can do that by checking the box on the left and clicking on request a translation maybe I would like to not only send this note to the translation but send over a whole bunch of notes to the translator and it's better to have that whole bunch into one job because I don't want to send his give him like 10 notifications in his inbox so that's what you can do with the up to card functionality you can add different notes into a card and then bundle them together into one job yeah then we're on the next screen and then we can control again if we have set the right languages we decided we want to translate it from English to Portuguese that's correct and then we would like to choose who is our translator and this is the Brazilian translator and then we're going to send it out now we're going to put ourselves in the shoes of a translator and the translator has just gotten a mail there's a new job and here we go he sees the translations in his inbox he can only see this screen and these functionalities on this page in Drupal he cannot see or you can configure it that way that they can only translate and not edit other content or delete anything so there's a pending job hello Amsterdam and this has to be translated now so I go on to view and see here this interface so on the left side is the original language and on the right side you have to paste the new language yeah so this is what I'm doing now and here you see I have now done my translations they're added what you have to do is you have to copy the HTML tags yeah most of the translators are familiar with it so most of the time it works but it's still a potential source of error of course yeah then I've done all my translations then I click save as completed and now I'm done as a translator I'm finished and now we're going to get ourselves back in the shoes of Niko for example and he sees he gets a mail and he would click on the mail and get to the job or he sees it in the overview that hello Amsterdam is still there and he can manage it so here you see the job is now this note is now ready to be reviewed I'm not yet live I still need to do one more step to review it and yeah I do my review and you see it here it's all in there it all looks good so I'm fine I'm gonna hit save as completed and from this point on it will be on Drupal so confirmation and that's done so and then you see it's approved and finished and yeah this is a very this is a very like the simple process on how to do translations and 80% of our clients are actually are actually fine with this process but there are also other cases that you would like to cover for example if you work with an external translation agency they don't want to log into each client's Drupal website to do their translations there they have their own systems they have their vocabularies there they have synonyms they have their time tracking or word tracking etc so they would like to stay there this is also possible with the TMGMT and there are two different solutions like the one solution is you can create a job and export this job as an XLIF file and XLIF is kind of a XML format and this is a standard for all translation agencies so their systems comply with that standard and it works most of the time we had little minor problems with UTF-8 letters etc but it is manageable so then you send this XLIF file over to your agency they import it into their system and when they are done they export it again as XLIF and you integrate it into your site it can be a bit of a manual effort you have to do of course exporting giving it back importing again which jobs have I sent which jobs have I imported yeah it needs a bit of a coordination so that's why there's an even better solution the best solution is that you connect a translation agency via an API and then the systems talk directly and via this interface you can not only send over jobs but you get also additional information back from the agency and this is for example different price plans so you send out translations and they say hey so how long should it take to give you the translation back do you like to have it in 6 hours or in 48 hours and depending on that the price is different and then you can choose your plan it would cost because they know how much words are in this file and you can manage your cost and say ok that's fine for me go for it and then after some time or after they finish they send it back via Drupal and you go through the same review and approval process from our experience it takes around 304 days I guess to set up such an interface to a Drupal agency and then they can reuse it for every Drupal site this was it for translations now we will talk about limitations and who could do that better than the user now first of all it has really helped us to become more efficient the whole setup that we have now and I believe it to be scalable to a certain point where we are comfortable with it as a company and also to have the speed to be able to do that just some limitations that I haven't encountered from a client perspective is for me as a page admin the overall complexity has become has increased kind of now I have different menus for different countries but that's just something that comes hand in hand and I guess that's just something that also kind of makes sense that will be that way with regards to usability of TMT this is something where I really like to see for the improvement in the future because as you have seen the screenshots the user experience kind of often makes me have to grab the telephone and call the person doing it for the first time and explain to them what do they actually have to do in that step once they are settled with it it works fine but it just takes some learning to get them other than that anyway some other things that I would like to see improvement is workflow options review process until now I can only accept it or reject the translation once I accept it it's live on the website now for example if I had Chinese or whatever I don't speak Chinese currently I do not have the option to send it to a colleague in China and to have him review it for me it would also be nice to be able to see the translation in the site layout in the HTML code because as Dagmar said sometimes you have to copy the HTML tags etc and there's just mistakes that happen sometimes but that's just something you can review at that point now one of my favorite topics when talking about limitations is translation of strings and I'm sure that my girlfriend found a couple of great hair lately and I'm sure that's due to the translation of strings from the right point of view I had to get a handle on that and I still become better etc but I get everyone messages at some point that have not been translated or people finding them because there's just not an overview that I can send everything that I've translated to the translator so that won't happen but Dagmar you mentioned something that it's over we have created a tool which is called TMGMT bulk where you can find strings you can filter for strings that you haven't translated yet so I think that will help a lot we're still testing it but I have hope this will be better definitely looking forward to that also in that in the translation of strings which what makes it hard for me is sometimes for example I will have to translate the word back now if you don't have a context as a translator he's either going to say back or back and when it's entered it just won't fit the context at some times so basically it has helped us a lot the implementation of this me I truly believe that for Drupal to become even more attractive for international clients I personally believe there's no such thing as local brands etc in this world anymore this process would be a huge improvement for clients to be able to handle this and from my perspective I'd be happy if anyone in here would contribute to that cost any developers in the room I know there's one we will grab him yeah it's all from your side right? from the good yeah we now would like to talk about how we work together efficiently and good so I would like to start with saying something about the methodology we are using at Zonova most of the projects are done with fixed price offers because internally they have a specific budget for a certain time and certain projects but we can still work in an HRY like that if the budget is fixed you still have two other things that are open like time and scope and we don't do we don't do very detailed specifications at the beginning when we estimate we do very rough specifications and we try to ask the most important questions to make certain assumptions and as we have worked together for some time we kind of know which level of assumptions we should guess and I always tell the analogy of building a house you can build a house and you can put in a carpet or you can put in a very nice wooden floor it's both a house but you don't know what kind of level your client would like to have and this is where we have our flexibility carpet or wooden floor and this is where we take our assumptions and then within the project we discuss these assumptions and and most of the time we can come to an agreement like if the assumption if our cost assumption was too low before we implement we give options so we say hey we thought we would do it like this and if we do it like this we would stay in our budget but if you would like to have it this fancy way it costs you such and such amount of money more which way do you like to have and I think giving choices is always a very very good solution and then another thing is that we see Nico as a client, as a product owner of his product we have a direct contact to developers and designers we don't want to add absolutely a layer of project management I take myself out as soon as I can because I have so many projects and it would not be very efficient so that's why he has direct contact if this is appropriate if he doesn't need more consulting he will talk directly to these people then another principle we are following our work is to be very transparent he sees all our project artifacts and systems at any time like access to the development environment also access to time tracking he sees at any time how much of the time budget is already used and also we don't create specific documentation for different kinds of stakeholders we have one specification and this is for the techies and this is for the client and we communicate with the same tools we don't have emails for the client and ticketing tool for internally we all keep it the same so that we work in a very efficient way now Nico will tell us how he feels about it are you sure first off I won't be here if collaboration was not good it was amazing and as we have seen the project milestones that we have reached have been accomplished in a good way and just what she was saying about trust as a prerequisite we can be agile and fast if I know that she knows I like wooden floor better than carpets so when she sends me an offer she won't send it for the carpet and then I want the wooden floor that grows over time other things that we have learned in collaboration made our collaboration better is that well first thing in the project was changed to dog mark and she had a really tough time due to that because I came up with a project we had to postpone the launch for several times then you get to know someone project management has changed it's just a side note other things is with multiple contacts which is great so I don't have to talk to dog mark she talks to Miki she may misunderstand me and he misunderstands her so it's all more complicated than it has to be it's easier if we can talk directly that requires agency internally great communication because at times I would discuss something with Dr. Miki and dog mark it happened that she didn't know about it and as a client I don't want to have anything to do with that if I talk to someone I want everyone to be up to speed the next time I call just to have that going now as often problems strengthen the relationship if they are brought up and they are discussed and they are used to become better as one team so to say because I'd say it's not the classical relationship that I would have with other other agencies where we have dog mark there, me here talking to each other but it's more of a real collaboration that makes us so efficient and that makes me also happy to be here it was amazing today to talk to you to share the collaboration tools from my point of view in the beginning were real hassle because like my tools and the way I work so it took some convincing to get me to use them and also how to use them because in the beginning I would only make one ticket with all the things I would find on the website and dog mark would be like what's wrong with you and now we've handled that I've become better so we all have almost no emails and just call and have everything always available to everyone involved in the specific project something other just from a project management point of view that we have started to have debriefings after critical project milestones because obviously as always with technical stuff it does not always work as you want it at that point and so we have started to have those debriefings that help us together grow to improve the processes to become even better in the future so it's been fun with Amazie and with Drupal and I'm looking forward to where it's going thanks a lot one more slide stop just a little conclusion building multilingual on my website is not trivial it needs some thinking I think also the requirements side is very complicated it's really the whole processes we have to map out but we think we have done a lot of experiences with it and I think if you maybe I hope some of the tips we gave and some of the modules we pointed out can help you to build your website in a good way in terms of translations I think the TMGMC works fine it fulfills the requirement it can still be improved and I think it will we have a great team behind it and we have just to keep up also with Drupal 8 that we don't get like slowed down by this and the third one is as Nico pointed out to build up trust building up trust is very important and to build up trust it requires open and honest communication if there is something like if there is a little fire burning somewhere if there is a little problem and you don't talk about it, at some point it will come up and it will come up with three or four problems at the same time and then you have a conflict so as soon as you feel something is not right be courageous and talk to the other person and talk to the other person in person or on the phone and not writing emails back and forth so this is all thanks a lot for listening and now we are open for questions are there any questions please use a microphone if you have some yeah could you yeah okay I can repeat it so how we worked with relationships between content for translations relationships in what sense in both of the sections there are texts and if it is the same text you should also build your site that it takes only it prints only the text once, like you would maybe have a blog that is common on these two pages and then you have only one blog you have to translate but I don't know if you mean we can put things together to keep the relation this is currently not possible yeah any other questions my name is Weber and I'm a known on the community as Mac Weber I'm one of the main things of Domain Locale by the way and I've worked in a product that is very similar to this one but one thing that you said about the contextual translations one thing that you can do at least for the interface is having your own server for the localizer Drupal.org you can have your own server and do that contextual translations on the strings it's not a question actually it's just a suggestion but one thing that I did not do is that things about getting the countries on the same domain it's a really good point you got on this product okay thanks okay yeah Gabor uh oh so hi good session so I think the usability of TMGMT is a returning question is there anybody else who works with TMGMT and has the same problem one two okay so it's probably more who are not here so I think if I don't have the energy but I think if somebody would like put up a flag and organize a group of people then we can get get some UX resources involved in making that happen because it's certainly a shared problem that I don't think anybody any company individually would solve yeah that's an excellent idea we should be able to solve that yeah I'm still here on Friday I don't have yet a really specific project I'm working on thanks for taking that on bye


Sam, good morning. Good morning, people. Look, I'll tell you about a incident cold supermarket on Friday. I went to purchase a 30 pack of Coke Zero, which they have at the front, which is normally made to some special. I was in a hurry. I picked up the pack of 30, went through the register, and to my amazement, it was $45 because it's normally around about $27. So I went and checked the price and had 30 packs for $57. Now, I just want to make a couple of points. We're getting over COVID, we've got soaring cost of living, increasing interest rate, and here we've got a supermarket chain, pure greed, who make over a billion dollars profit a year. It's a total ripoff. It is just morally and ethically wrong on all levels. Well, Sam, as like would have it, we're about to speak to one of the politicians who's demanded Coles and Woolworths appear before committees in Parliament to justify what they're doing with their prices at the moment. Good timing.


What is going on guys? Welcome back to the channel critical overload here. So we're gonna be talking about Jeepers Creepers 5 Yes, Jeepers Creepers 5 as you see here on your screen. This is a screenshot from oral oral Distribution comm oral studios. They're one of the production companies behind Jeepers Creepers reborn and They have a listing up on their site for a upcoming film titled Jeepers Creepers 5 So I've been getting this sent to me. Oh, did you see this? Yes, I've seen it seen it countless times I Don't think that this is anything we should be overly excited about only because of the fact We haven't seen Jeepers Creepers 4 yet Even if this is them showing a glimpse of confidence in what they have You know this could again just it seems like this is more of a placeholder and Just if they have a Jeepers Creepers 4 be the success that they think it will be Then this is one of the things that you could expect to have happen after because that's just how it works Just like how with screen 5 that outperformed Screen 4 in very quick time and within a month of the movie being out The sixth installment has already been announced confirmed. It's gonna be shot this summer. You know, they were already prepping for it. So Maybe this is something similar here with Jeepers Creepers 5 Maybe there's something already in place for a fifth movie and if the fourth one is successful They are going to rush and jump right into Jeepers Creepers 5, but who knows at this point I don't think that this means that Jeepers Creepers 5 is confirmed by any means I think this is just them having a placeholder on the site for If the film that we haven't even seen yet is a success and again I think Jeepers Creepers 4 is gonna be more of a success Internationally then in the States. I think in the States We're gonna get that typical, you know, a couple days release in theaters fathom event type of junk and then straight to VOD sometime after meanwhile internationally the movie might make $10 million while in the States it makes $1 million. This is I don't see this being a box office hit I don't see I haven't seen any screen media film. I might be mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong I haven't seen any screen media film. That's been a box office hit in the sense of you've had over 30 to 40 even 50 60 70 80 90 a hundred million dollars made from a screen media distributed film in the States or anywhere I haven't seen that happen Jeepers Creepers 3 didn't even make that much money. So I Don't know what their plan is this movie probably wasn't made for much again We still expecting this to be low budget just like most of them are you consider them all to be low budget outside of Jeepers Creepers 2 Of course But I don't think that this movie is going to break box office numbers or anything It's not gonna hold any records like how Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2 did it's not going to do that by any means So this could be like How the saw movies are made for relatively Inexpensive amounts of money from our perspective in the terms of movie making So that's why you kept getting sequel after sequel after sequel because all the money They kept making back if they're able to multiply that with Jeepers Creepers 4 by 5 4 6 times even and it's made for like let's say 4 or 5 million dollars, but they make 15 million not even let's say like they make 8 million They're gonna rush out and go make another another another Jeepers Creepers movie if anything I Honestly also think this was me This is just another hint of proof going on about the amount of time that screen media has and those production companies as a whole Have to make these Jeepers Creepers movies as it relates to this supposed contract that's in place where Victor salva is Leasing renting the rights to these production companies so they can make whatever they want from his IP And of course paying him in the process to rent these rights and still push out as much content as they can While they still have the ability to do so before the contract is up So, you know hot-shotting Jeepers Creepers movies out there like this these movies probably aren't gonna be that great They're probably aren't gonna be anything you're gonna want to run around talking about to your friends or anything like that They'll probably be your I Don't even know what they what they're thinking here Jeepers Creepers 5 isn't isn't something that's confirmed I literally think it's just a placeholder on the website. I really do think this also speaks to Them being prepared to just rush out and make as much as they can while they can Until that contract that they have in place with Victor runs out once it runs out to my best knowledge Of course, that means the rights come will reverse completely right back to Victor And we're still gonna be sitting in the same position where we're sitting around waiting and hoping that Something of quality happens with the franchise where you have Jonathan Brick you have Gina Phillips you have Ray wise you have something that is Deserved of a follow-up to what was done with the 2001 movie and the 2003 film Not to say that you prescribed before is gonna be terrible, but again, I know that a lot of you are skeptical and doubtful Also kind of disappointed that this is still just another movie that you can kind of see is not going to be Gaining up in the quality aspect of what the first two brought us and that's just how it seems is going to be Until Victor salad is no longer with us and it's just unfortunate because again I can say that I believe he is responsible for one of the greatest missed opportunities in horror because of his Disgusting things that he has done in the past deciding to mix all of that in with his profession And just exploring himself in the worst way you can possibly explore that type of life That's not how there's nothing wrong with the type of life He wants to live if he is someone who is gay that is fine, but you know, we're still Gonna say what you did is disgusting because it involved a child. It's disgusting But again, we're in this position only because of what he did And we will continue to remain in this position as long as this person exists And he has all the rights in the world to hold on to what he he knows brought him to the dance That's his that's his claim to fame Jeepers creepers is Victor salva No one talks about any other Victor salva movie.  I think Jeff Goldblum was in it But that's really the only other Jeepers creepers or other Victor salva film I know that I see people talk about often most of the time. They're talking about Jeepers creepers Nobody else is running around talk about any other Victor salva film Victor salva is not a household name I just think that April is gonna be the release date at this point for everyone If they change it they change it But I know Australia hasn't for April got that confirmed to me by someone in Australia Germany seems to have it like that too if you go on to the eco player website I'll try to leave that in the description as well. I just think that that That listen on oral distribution calm is just a placeholder for something that they hope will happen And they look like they'll be bringing back Timo if they want to I guess But let me know what you guys think about all this down in the comment section below I don't think that this is a confirmation about Jeepers creepers 5 if you haven't already Of course, make sure you subscribe turn on post of cash you never miss a video in the description I have links my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course limiters any movies news or reviews you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in My guys, I will see you in the next video


Manager Stuart McCall has said he believed we haven't played quite our best these first two games But we're sitting here with six points out of six as well as you are still gelling as a team to have maximum points It's obviously quite encouraging. Yeah, I think it's it was always going to take time with the amount of some new players We've got and trying to bed in and actually the manager's trying to put his ideas across And obviously they're like to doing their best to put those into play and as you say at the moment It's not been it's not been As as good as we have hope, but I'm sure no one's complaining obviously that we've took maximum points out of there The two games have played so far. I think we'll have probably bigger tests ahead though So we know that we need to improve quickly And I'm sure we will like to work in hard out of here Hopefully our rewards on the training field will start to show in the games and we can as I say improve our Performances, but as I was saying we was talking about it's more of me in team if we played like this all season And got more pictures then we managed last season. I don't think we'll be too upset. Yeah, is that the thing? You look at that Jillingham game We've actually played better in games last season and drawn them. There's obviously this is we've got the win I suppose it's all about at the end of the day really is all about getting those results really Yeah, of course it is. That's obviously what we're doing it for. It's sort of the results industry and No, we're delighted though as we say Not our best we still managed to pick up the two victories You could argue maybe one of that better performance is probably the darkest game. It was the one we lost so No, it's it is and as I say they were not too concerned at the moment as long as you are picking up the victory But I'm sure that the performance is all follow that Really tough game of the weekend and where we spoke about it There will need to be better than we have been if we if we want to win this one Yeah, you alluded to it in one of your answers just earlier in the interview You said there's tougher challenges to come with all the respect to Jillingham and Blackpool Yeah, is this Saturday our toughest test of the season so far. Yeah, I think obviously Blackburn were made favorites for a reason Not lost too many players from from what they had last year in the championship Under the new manager Towards the end of the year They're probably one of the four teams in the championship home or unfortunate not stay up in the end So I think everyone's been surprised. Obviously by the start. They've made To the season, but I don't think you can read too much into that at the moment You don't have to look obviously sheffield United last year the way they start probably in a similar fashion So there's plenty of time plenty of football to play Well, of course, we're hoping that we can at least maybe one more on them Before they get going, but no, we know it'll be a tough tough game We've obviously look at that You don't have to look at the squad of players they have to to realize the quality they have in their ranks and obviously a Good manager who likes to play the right way as well. So it'll be a good test for us Hopefully they'll they'll be feeling that it'll be a good test of them as well


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com with the Bowman Sterling Picker Team 2 filler. So there's two different randomizers that are going to happen. The first randomizer is we're going to randomize these 13 names and then give away three extra spots right there. That'll be dice roll number one. Second dice roll will randomize this full list of names and then match you up with the team. Name on top gets the White Sox, second name gets the Yankees. We're just randomizing your names, not the teams. We're lining up the teams that way. First things first though, let's give away some extra spots. First dice roll. There's everyone there. A little extra, an opportunity to get an extra spot. After seven times, one, two, two, there's two, three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time. Good luck. We've got Jimmy, Paul, and Michael with the extra spots. So we'll put a little rooftop next to your name so you know you won that. All right. So now let's collect these names here. Second dice roll and we'll match you up with the team. Everyone's guaranteed a team after five times, one and a four, four and a one, five one, two, three, four, and five.

The resident Electoral Commissioner, REC of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Oyo State, Mutuo Aboke, has advised accountants to see themselves as critical change agents in ending corruption and other related sharp practices across all sectors in the country. Speaking with journalists after delivering his paper on accounting and for law implications for practitioners at the inauguration of the new executive of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria and Aboke noted that accountants play key roles in the nation's development and economic growth. Therefore, they must refrain from corrupt practices at all times. The State Chairman of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Issa Ulude O'Wollaby, advocated the dichotomy between accountants and different professional bodies be eradicated. They should not end on a bad corruption. Nobody, whether private or public organization, nobody will be able to go scot-free with corruption if an accountant does not have a hand in it. So, as a professional now, they are supposed to be the gatekeeper, gatekeeper of their conscience, gatekeeper of the trust.  So, it's a message for them that if there's any window for them to be corrupted, they should avoid it. We cannot develop without accountants. There's a clear decision between rule of an accountant and doubt of an economist.  You know that the concept of accounting revolves around the principles of confidentiality, objectivity, skill and competence, and credibility. Except, of course, and the nation concentrate on this fundamental principle of accounting, such a nation cannot develop economically.

I'm Dr. Deep Singh Shabra from Vajman Mohave Medical College in Sardarjung Hospital. The topic of my paper is efficacy of anxiety abdomen in evaluation of non-traumatic acute abdomen. Non-traumatic acute abdomen can be due to a variety of causes with vitreining etiology which can either be traumatic or non-traumatic. In the case of non-traumatic acute abdomen, the cause can either be life threatening surgical emergency or benign self-limiting condition which responds to conservative medical management, imaging particularly computer tomography has a central role in diagnosing the etiology of acute abdomen. The use of CT has increased and improved over the over the last three decades. Traditionally, the use of intravenous or enteric contrast was necessary to overcome the motion, artificial respiration and test analysis. But with the advent of multi-temporal and helical CT scanners, the utility of contrast medium for image quality has become uncertain. Moreover, administration of contrast often requires normal blood, urine and creatinine levels which we might not be able to obtain readily in the emergency department. Or concurrent metabolic and renal functional arrangements in these patients may hamper the administration of contrast. Hence the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of non-contrast CT scan of abdomen and pelvis in evaluating the patients coming to the emergency department with a non-traumatic acute abdominal pain. It also simultaneously aimed to study the role of conventional radiography in ultrasound in these patients. As a part of the study, 60 patients over 12 years of age presenting with non-traumatic acute abdominal pain of less than 72 hours in onset were included in the study. The patients with diagnosed renal calculus or acute volleys status, pregnant patients and patients with a BMI of less than 18.5 kg per meter square but also suited from the study. In the included patients playing radiography ultrasound followed by anxiety abdomen were performed in all the patients. CT was performed only when any extra information regarding the pathology diagnosis was required or no definitive diagnosis could be made on NCCT after obtaining normal blood unit creatinine levels. The patients were then followed up for the clinical and surgical outcome. The results showed that the conventional radiography showed the least concordance with the final diagnosis providing the final diagnosis only 9 out of the 60 cases while NCCT had the maximum substantial agreement with the final diagnosis providing final diagnosis in 46 out of 60 cases with a correlation coefficient of 0.74. While in the case of ultrasound and intermediate concordance with the with moderate agreement with the final diagnosis was found with the correlation coefficient of 0.34. CT was performed in 36 out of the 60 cases while it altered final diagnosis only in 11 cases. The overall sensitivity and accuracy of NCCT in acute and non-traumatic acute abdomen was found to be 81 and 82% respectively. In our study the main causes of acute abdomen were subacute industrial obstruction which was due to bowel structure in 12 cases while in 5 cases it was diagnosis, adhesives, subacute industrial obstruction. 9 cases of acute appendicitis and acute pancreatitis each were seen, 5 cases of perforation peritonitis were seen, 3 cases of acute gastritis, colitis and emphasmatitis, polynephritis and interception were seen, and 4 cases of sigmar valvular were seen. Other cases included acute diverticulitis, emphasmatitis, chastitis, sealed ileal perforation and uterine rupture. NCCT abdomen provided the final diagnosis in 46 out of the 60 cases that is in 76.6% of the cases. In the case of acute appendicitis all the 9 cases 3 of which were misdrawn ultrasound were also detected on NCCT which is in concordance to previous studies which have found similar high sensitivity ranging from 90 to 90% to 98.5% in detection of acute appendicitis. Now in the case of subacute industrial obstruction there were 17 cases of scion in our study out of which 12 were found due to bowel structure. Out of these 12 cases 9 cases could be diagnosed on NCCT itself but distal ileum being the most common set of the structure. Previous studies have demonstrated a higher sensitivity of NCCT in detection of the site of mechanical obstruction and the transition point of the structure. Lower sensitivity as compared to those studies is seen in our study because of the limited number of cases of bowel obstruction in our study. In the case of perforation peritonitis pneumoperitonium was detected in all the 5 cases. Moreover in 3 out of 5 cases we could also detect the site of perforation. This was mainly done by studying the concentration of extra luminal air bubbles in particular locations. For example in the case of pre-pilotic perforation the air was concentrated mainly in the perihepatic perigastric and the paradiodinal spaces. While in the case of distal ileum perforation was mainly seen in the region of distal ileum loops and in the pelvis. Previous studies have also shown that in addition to concentration of extra luminal air bubbles focal defect in bowel wall and areas of segmental bowel wall thickening are important predictors of determining the site of perforation. In the case of collocolic interception was seen in the case of collocolic interception Lycoma was seen as the lead point. All the 3 cases of emphysematos pyronephritis were successfully diagnosed and graded based on NCCT findings. NCCT was found to be clearly superior than X-ray and ultrasound abdomen in detection, grading and management of emphysematos pyronephritis. In the case of sigmat volvulus, the 4 cases of sigmat volvulus were seen in our study. All the 4 cases showed the characteristic whirl sign on the left of the midline on non-contrast scans. The overall sensitivity of NCCT in our study was calculated to be 81%. Previous studies by Lamarie Setal have found it to be 89% sensitive. Slightly lower sensitivity was seen in our study due to the limited sample size. NCCT was performed in 36 out of the 60 cases, while it altered the final diagnosis only in 11 cases. In 5 cases of adhesus subacuridin disanal obstruction, it ruled out the presence of any kind of structure. While in the case of active diverticulitis, definitive diagnosis could be made only after administration of intravenous and rectal contrast. These are some representative cases of our study. This is the case of 70-year-old female who presented with complaints of diffuse abdominal pain, vomiting and obstetrician for 24 hours. On non-contrast scans, the characteristic target configuration of bowel could be seen in the pelvis, with hypotenuating misentry in between. The axial reconstruction shows the telescoping of the proximal allele loops into the distal, with normal bowel well enhancement seen on the contrast enhanced scan. The intraoperative finding revealed allele into seception, with the dark pink color into septum and the light pink color into sepsia. The second case was that of a 50-year-old female who was an uncontrolled type of diabetes malitis patient. There were areas of motley seen in the region of urinary bladder, suggestive of air. On ultrasound of the pelvis, the urinary bladder revealed cogenic contents without any internal vascularity within, with interspersed areas of reverberation artifacts seen within the ecogenic area and subjected to the urinary bladder wall. So, non-contrast CT scan demonstrated gas fluid level within the urinary bladder, along with the contents of blood attenuation seen within the urinary bladder lumen and air focus adjacent to the urinary bladder wall. A diagnosis of emphysematism status was established and the patient was managed with insulin for glycemic control and intravenous antibiotics to control the infection. The second case was that of a 72-year-old male who presented with acute onset abdominal pain and features of obstipation and vomiting. The x-ray revealed the characteristic coffee bean configuration of the large bubble loop with non-visualization of the rectal gas. The non-contrast scan revealed the characteristic twisting of the misentry and the characteristic world sign. Further on the contrast scan, there was visualization of the vascular pedicle without any bubble wall hypo enhancement. Hence, the diagnosis of sigmoid volules with upstream intercell obstruction was made, which correlated with the surgical intraoperative fineness, which revealed massively dilated and twisted sigmoid colon. The fourth case was that of a 73-year-old female who presented with features of intercell obstruction for 48 hours on supine abdominal radiograph, a concentric fat density. A concentric fat density was seen in the abdominal radiograph on the left of the midline while on the erect abdominal radiograph, dilated bubble loops with air fluid devils were seen on non-contrast scans, axial and coronal images. There was telescoping of ascending colon into the transverse colon with a well-defined lesion of fat attenuation acting as a lead point, a diagnosis of colobolic interception with Lycoma as lead point, and upstream intercell obstruction was made. The patient underwent expedited laparotomy with right hemicolectomy and heliopoic anastomosis. The fifth case is that of a 52-year-old female who presented with left flank pain and tenderness for 48 hours. She had history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which was controlled on all hypoglycemic agents. The entity, axial and coronal deformations are shown, which reveals and grossly enlarged and bulky left kidney with air within the pelvic lesion system, as well as within the perinephric and the perineal space, giving a diagnosis of class 3B of emphysematis pilonastritis. Final clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus with emphysematis pilonastritis was made. The patient underwent percutaneous catheter drainage and the fluoroscopic guidance with intravenous antibiotic therapy. Hence it can be concluded that non-contrast scans provide pertinent information regarding etiology of acute abdomen, contributing in patient management and hence can help in proper sorting triage of the patients and streamlined flow of patients in the emergency department with substantial economic advantage. Thank you for your patience listening.


Got it guys. All right, so now that we've got most of our pumpkin in place. Let's go and finish it up and Call it good Okay, so let's go and actually fuse this stuff together. But before I do that actually let's go and Have some fun with the colors here. Usually these pumpkins Like they're orange on the outside, but as they reach, you know, these inner portions right here They kind of get a little bit brighter. They change color. Let's just say that how about that so what I want to do I'm going to call this my base color like that and I want to go and drop down a group node because with this group node I can select all the unshared edges. So I'm going to call this borders All right, and so basically what's happening here because I'm using the dollar OS group name It's picking up the name or the label of the note here as the group name All right, so if you were to look at the info for this guy Right here when it decides to actually pop open. I Have a group called borders, then there's nothing in it. All right, so I Need to put something in it. So let's put in some points And we're going to enable that we're going to enable unshared edges and look at that Very cool. So now we're selecting all the border points here and with that information I can come in here and drop down another color node and Color that just a different color orange or like a desaturated orange something like that, you know Something like that. No, I'm not gonna leave it like that this way. Let's select a color I'm gonna hit the little eyedropper button and then pick a color That's not bad. It's kind of cool. Actually I'm gonna desaturate it though Maybe put it up there and something like that You know, you can play around this stuff and Y'all artsy with it Yeah, I think I'm gonna leave it like that So now at this point what I can do is I can fuse everything together because we have geometry now, right? So I'm gonna put the fuse node in there and voila We are now fused together all the points are fused together. So with that done I'm gonna go and drop down an attribute blur All right, and I'm going to blur the color So for the attributes I want to blur instead of the the P position All right, which actually is kind of cool to kind of smooth it out nicely for us But what I really wanted to do was smooth out the color So let me turn off our wireframe there. So now we can really blur our color out So we get even more fall off there. You can control it with this step size as well Yeah And maybe we do actually add some P in there some position Yeah, very cool That is a very fine pumpkin if I do say so myself. We saw lots to do but That is looking pretty cool. Okay.  So to do that. I'm gonna put down a poly fill Like so All right because we've fused together our geometry completely it'll cap off the top there for me look at that All right, let's take a look at our UVs amazing Simply amazing cool, and let's check our UVs again. Let's do a UV visualizer. There we go And that is not looking too bad We'll take care of all this stuff in a little bit. Let's put it at one Yeah Not bad at all. Okay. Cool. So that's what I wanted to do Something we should really do here is we should Provide some sort of way to select those patches. So I'm gonna put those guys into the caps group And I'll just leave that alone for now But what we can do now is if we ever need to get the cap geometry you can see now We have this cap and even group and there's nothing in the even group But the caps contains those two caps we made All right, cool. So I'm gonna close out the section there and in the next we're gonna take this even further I'm gonna deform this a little bit more give more realism. I'm gonna add the stem to it and Then in the section after that we're gonna cut a face into it And then we're gonna make a candle and a little Flame effect that we can actually set up inside of unity or unreal as a particle effect Okay, so lots more to do but that's good for this section. We have a nice basic pumpkin now Thanks much


New theme, Classic, in Moodle 3.7 The clean and more themes, along with the hidden parent theme, Bootstrap Base, have been removed from Moodle 3.7 and replaced with the new Bootstrap 4-based Classic theme. The Classic theme is a child theme of Boost using the upstream Bootstrap 4 stable library with a general look inspired by the clean theme. It provides the Classic 3 column structure with the navigation and administration block and the choice of adding blocks to the left or right of the main content. Classic can be used as a parent theme when upgrading existing themes that are based on Bootstrap Base and require a 3 column layout and Classic navigation. The Classic theme may be customised from a theme settings page where you can, for example, change the navigation bar colour and add presets. Boost presets work with the Classic theme as they both have the same preset structure. You can add a background image and a brand colour and from the advanced settings link include raw SCSS in a similar way to with the Boost theme. To summarise, the Classic theme replaces the clean, more and hidden Bootstrap base themes and serves as a parent theme for upgrading Bootstrap base based themes.
