about Malix. I did four semesters Chinese, but I'm not very good at Chinese, but I was told that may mean something like beautiful in Chinese. So I have no insights into Chinese, but maybe can give you some insights into Malix. Oh, this is my name, this is my email, Twitter. So where to start? Maybe start here. Looks familiar. So you have like this typical Ubuntu or Deviant style boot up screen that we customized for Malix. You can install the system on your hard drive. You can run a live CD. But that's actually not the approach we want to take. So what's special about Malix is not that it's just another Linux distribution or just another customized Linux distribution, but it basically starts with a use case. It's a desktop application, desktop distribution. It's very special and for a very special purpose. And the purpose is, in short, think of a conference organizer like FOSS Asia and want to set up in a conference space 100 internet terminals. And there should always be the same software on each device. We have certain requirements for public computer where you could access the internet. So in the center stands the use case in this case. And we reuse all existing technology. We try not to invent too much on our own. We choose a very simple desktop environment that is LXQT We reused the original build scripts from Ubuntu before Ubuntu was existing as a starting point and try to really work on just these small and feasible configuration items that are relevant for our use case and always try to turn development onto the use case to satisfy the user needs for this special desktop purpose. And the idea of the development is that we apply continuous integration. So we try to, every time there's a change, we build the system again. And we really have this kind of approach of an agile and use case driven development process. So there's actually not only Mailex, but the important other tool is the Mailex configurator. Customizer, this is a very minimal viable product. It's a web app running a container and basically ask you for your email. You can say what's the name of the event to pop up when you open a browser on this customized machine. You can upload a wallpaper that's like the wallpaper of your conference. These are just example settings for the proof of concept. Of course we want all the other features necessary for a configurator. What happens then? You press the build button and then you get an email. I thought it was later, but Tarun made was 10 minutes later, you get an email. And this is the email with the ISO build. So you download an ISO image and then you can install it on the different machines. And the idea here is to keep it very simple in a way that the person who actually creates this customized distribution doesn't have to care for the technical details, doesn't have to run any build scripts, doesn't have to know much about technology, just has this web interface and everything else works in the background. The mail is as such where you run the build script for distribution yourself and this is almost similar to say what your distributors do when they compile a new release of their distribution of the software. So what we found important in the process and when we evolved all the different people is to follow the FOSS Asia guidelines for software development using existing infrastructure, using infrastructure that is easy to maintain so we don't have much administrative overload. Reusing existing tools like using JIT up for communications is just simple because we can use it as an external service, we use JIT up for the bug trackers and so on so we don't have to maintain any infrastructure. And yeah, to try to at least this was the stage where we always build and when we start to correct it. The other point was when we had our students working on the project and they solve tiny tasks always encourage them to document how they solved it, what they did and writing blog posts. We found it in the GWSOM of code process very important to encourage people when they contribute code, when they send a poll request, also write blog posts about what they did, how they solved it, what alternatives they considered because this is very fruitful and we discovered that the students that were very good at writing code were also the ones that were very good at writing blog posts surprisingly because the stereotype at least in Europe or in Germany is either you're a good coder or you're good at documentation but in the first Asia sphere it's a bit different so and the third thing as an observation from the Mellings project which is a bit like a training ground also for our developers from India mostly is that we found it very important with a larger team to just walk through the code much legacy code from 2012 and look what is it actually about and walk through the code together jointly and using teleconferences and just trying to improve our common understanding of what's going on and what may be obsolete and what's actually applicable so here are some links there's like three repositories one is for the Mellings the Mellings as such for building it these are simple shell scripts that pull together the packages they open up a CH route where some other software gets installed and some configuration happens and then we have in the Mellings the generator branch that's important for for generation of this taking this this image for the for the Mellings generator then we have the web app that's also exported the Mellings generator as a separate repository and the third one that was worked not last year but the the year even before is the Mellings system log because when you have a desktop that you provide to a general audience what you want is you want to lock the system down so that all the casual users that are coming with the different requirements the different interests the different languages and so on cannot destroy the computer or play around the way so and main discussion takes place on a jitter channel in in the first age just a leaks so how will we continue with the Mellings project Tarun will go more into details one of our developers but soon but I think for four projects I would say could be singled out and are relevant for the upcoming Google summer of code season and one is the roadblock project like you know it's more or less experimental code it's not very beautiful code in any way or maybe partly because it's a configuration task not too much code at all but one of the roadblock projects is of course we have used these old scripts from 2012 and quite useful to put this into productive use to yeah migrate everything to 64 bit there's no standard we have to do some some modifications there so someone has to work on that and there are also some some other blocking projects like how to kill desktop notifications and other details the second project is something something new we want to do based on Mellix but it doesn't matter whether it's the target platform is Mellix or just an ordinary Lubuntu with with XQT but Mellix is like the reference platform for it and this is Susie desktop integration you had all these talks about Susie and Michael Christen can explain you the details on the conversational server and all the different clients that are right now available but what we don't have yet is something in the Linux space comparable to Microsoft Cortana for Windows like desktop integration of conversational features and this also cannot totally protest on on the server because all the different all the clients are different so we have some kind of API to steer some desktop specific options by with a conversational interface and provide some interface to get feature parity with Siri with Alexa and so on so all the hard work all the stuff in the background was the Susie AI server is basically done but now we have to put it more into use and support the client side features and this is what this project is about and we hope to get a sum of code student who wants to work specifically on desktop integration so the and the third project of course is to improve and expand the Mellix generator now that the basic say if you if you know how to configure the wallpaper then you can also configure everything else this then becomes pretty trivial so we want to expand the features and make this new more useful and there's an idea because right now the build process is pretty pretty ugly using a bit of a heckish shell script to use a next generation built build process and this is prototype by harsh in his fork of the Mellix main repository so I just had a look at it I don't I don't know I haven't tested it and I don't know how much work it would be to actually make it work and the seemingly replacement but this looks like the way to go from a technical side so maybe you so yeah good why desktop when everyone's moving to the phone that's actually good point I would say that the desktop still has a place the desktop is still important I mostly use the desktop for all interactions and I am aware of the mobile hype I'm aware of the mobile integration but still say the Linux desktop is something that never happened and the closest approximation to a system that works out of the box is actually from my perspective to go simple and we did it a few years ago when we started with this LXDE project and try to try to get a more simple go into complexities that just provides the basic functionality and you say okay this is like a drop in replacement because right now public administrations they are not going to tablets they're still using desktop computers and they will continue to do so for all their services but say public administrations they were considering to switch to Linux and it was a time where I could say yeah let's try it let's do it let's migrate to Linux but right now you cannot say this anymore at least I wouldn't say I wouldn't recommend a public administration to switch to Linux on the desktop simply because these desktop environments are too complex not stable enough and we had some say my migration disaster so either your software gets completely outdated or yeah useless or yeah unstable and dysfunctional so I'm using the desktop Linux desktop for for ages almost 20 years now and I'm very satisfied with it but I don't know if I would recommend it to someone else so what's really important is to keep it very focused and in a way say for me the perfect for me the perfect desktop is like like the perfect servant a perfect servant is a servant that you don't even notice you just see oh there's a glass of water exactly in the moment when I want this glass of water and when you talk too much about the desktop and are too concerned about all the features and so on and note you've noticed the desktop then something something goes wrong but I I guess say for for general user who's also experienced in this Microsoft sphere I think Lex QT is quite good approximation as a desktop so this is the software I would right now recommend or all to go with cinnamon of course because the reason why I ask you that is I actually have and almost everything had to be installed by command line there was not a single like if I wanted to say go to a Taiwan office right I guess this is a general the general question that applies to all Linux distributions in a way some some some are very friendly some work out of the box sometimes don't work out of the box personally I think if I can get some command line solution it's it's better for me I don't want any graphical installers or so simply because when you think of a support context when you support a user and tell him how to install a driver and you you just give him give him the instructions for the command line it's something like okay use this shortcut fire up a terminal and enter these three commands and what will be the output or you type in this command what what does it show to you this is good for good for interaction for for customer support but if you have graphical interfaces I mean try to explain your mom on the telephone and then you have to click the button there in the menu so-and-so it's it's really it's it's horror to to do to do remote support on graphical user interfaces and solving all the issues so personally I prefer very much the idea of frontline interfaces for configurations if there has to be something configured and yeah the other and and regarding say of of hardware I mean this is not genuine to the platform say if you buy a computer in a shop with Windows pre-installed then it's in the responsibility of the hardware manufacturer to make it run on that machine and it probably works because it's shipped with it okay on the other hand I problems when you run older hardware when you run hardware that's not certified for your machine or that was certified for the previous reason for the previous machine especially when you try to use older printers with newer machines at times the printer manufacturers they don't want to support the new operating system and you run into troubles and just just an example of from my practice say I wrote I got Bluetooth headphones so you cannot operate them on the Windows 10 you cannot operate them with Mac OS and with Linux it was very heckish and complicated to get it get it work but now it works and then there was a kernel update and now it works seemingly as out of the box so so I guess that the Linux approach still is the best because you have such a variety and such a richness of hardware support the point with Malix is that our users shouldn't have to do anything with system configuration so if if this system doesn't work on a on a box that we put somewhere then there's a problem with this box so then we cannot proceed with this but this is just just a use case for for development I wouldn't recommend right now to use Malix for productive reasons in any way but thinking about the use case working on the use case means thinking about in this specific context what do users need like when you have this for a conference space then you come up with different requirements that you usually don't have like support of multiple languages if you have an international conference some speakers will be Japanese some will be Chinese so we have to have Japanese and Chinese out of the box and the next person that comes is a Spanish citizen so these are very special requirements or maybe you want to block certain websites and her block list so though they don't use your conference space to access certain websites that may be inappropriate in a in the context you wouldn't have wouldn't want to have this at home of course but say in the conference space I understand that there should be some blocking of some services and so on so very deriving from the use case what do we need in order not to confuse users in order not to create too much overhead technically Malix is right now I know that there's some some in the projects who are very much into our Linux but it's basically built on a on a Debian or Ubuntu infrastructure so we don't even we don't even take our own kernel so we even take the Ubuntu kernel which technically doesn't even make it a distribution because if you don't compile your own kernel then it's no distribution as you know but that that's not the real case the real case is the use case and to trying to develop all the configuration so everything get things get set up out of the box and the special needs of a user are satisfied here and yeah why not why not a mobile phone actually say in these conference spaces where you have like this internet terminals or in a hotel this was the other use case Malix was previously called hotel loss so the idea was yet to create a distribution for for for hostels and and for these purposes so but but this is basically the same a device the desktop that accessed by multiple persons temporarily persons who don't own the computer persons who just use it for its and want to leave no traces there you have to provide some security and and so on and settings shouldn't confuse users in any way so no pop-ups in in in Chinese and no bullshit okay yeah maybe maybe Tarun can get get into the details by your words yeah yeah the software is right now mostly in experimental stage what we have say dedicated packages of course but they some of them don't adhere to the the deviant standards yet as someone pointed out so we also have to work on that no no we don't want that but we had the discussion yeah but but actually I guess right now we have no no users other than the developers because yeah we were still working on this project for also as a kind of educational project or for trying out some some stuff how to build build from from an app using automated services building ISO images and that's that's kind of the fun okay so I have to


What's up ZenDude Nation? It's hot as balls. It's hot as balls.  I'm sweating everywhere and it's not fun. What's up players? What's going on ZenDude Nation? A couple things. We're here in lovely Austin, Texas, a place where Brandon and I both used to live and where ZenDude Fitness was actually created. So I'm very excited to be here today. We're on the road. This is a travel workout.  So guys, we're going to keep it simple and do a 20 minute to body workout that's going to focus on a little bit of lower body and then six jump rope exercises. If you want a gym that you can bring with you anywhere, we linked up our favorite jump rope in the first line of the description and it's also the rope that we use in this video.  If you're out in the heat and you're not hydrated, you're probably going to pass out and it's going to feel really bad. Be careful. Make sure that you're hydrated. Don't pass out. All right ZenDude Nation. Let's go. Starting off boxer skip guys. Everything you got. I want full on intensity. If you'll notice I am already sweating profusely. That's a good thing. You want to go your max intensity so you don't have to work out for a long time.  We got 10 seconds of rest here coming up and thank you to the YouTube community. Thank you to the YouTube community guys for putting a suggestion in to change the music so that you guys know when the rest time is. I also put in when the next exercise is going to be for these workouts too. Now we got regular bounce and side swipe. So pretend there's two people standing on either side of me. I'm spinning the rope around myself in the middle then over the guy on the right side then over the guy on the left side and I'm just doing three motions. If you haven't check out our tutorial on this move and jump rope like a pro. Side squat taps guys. Here we go. So we're squatting down in the middle and then when we come up I'm using that momentum to tap my feet out to the side but I'm not putting my weight out there. I'm just tapping my feet as my weight is still coming up in the air. Good guys. Jump rope mommy kicks. Let's go.  See how my upper body is all regular bounce kind of motion. My feet are going out to the front out to the front. Good good good. Let's go. Come on guys. Pick it up guys. Jump rope crisscross. Jump rope crisscross. If you haven't check out our tutorial on the crisscross okay. And if you cannot do these advanced moves guys that is totally fine. What I want you to do instead is just regular bounce or boxer skill. Squat pulse next. Last body weight exercise. Let's go ladies and gentlemen. Good here we go. Squat pulse. So I'm coming down below 90 degrees. I'm squatting the whole way down but as I turn to the side here in a sec you'll see when I come back up I'm letting the weight of my feet stay on my heels and I'm not I'm not straighten my legs out fully. I'm just kind of bending them and pulsing up and down. Jump rope butt kicks next. Butt kicks butt kicks fire them fire make sure you're getting them the whole way up there.  Last one guys before you repeat this circuit another four times. Rest a minute in between and repeat it four more times for a total of five. Workouts about 20 to 30 minutes. Super sure actually it's about 24 25 a factor in the rest times between each circuit. But running in place crisscross guys. That's all for now. Zendu Nation. Way to get after it today guys. We will see you on the next high intensity workout.


Goodness, oh, I have never seen anything like this, Bobby. No, I like strong coffee. And this one has condensed milk, so I'm excited. 1976, from New York, I moved to Boston. Oh, okay. For many people, it looks like a Hong Kong, I don't know why. When you think of Boston, what comes to mind? It's probably Lobster's and Chattat and something Irish, but there actually is a sizable Asian population both in the main city and the suburbs. Today, we're exploring Boston's main Chinatown to see what it might even do better than the rest of the country, even if you're not aware of it. There are some dishes that I've never had before and a ton of spots that focus on fusion cuisine through an Eastern lens.  We're right outside of it. We're not going to Chinatown yet. We're going to knock the Boston plug by in New York. New York, Boston is called. You are telling me that the Vietnamese community in Boston is really coming into its own, I mean, tell me about it. We're in front of a modern Vietnamese coffee shop right now. The Vietta and Boston are really heavy. People don't realize on the East Coast is one of the biggest populations. They're just starting to make their own mark on the city.  If you could go to Dorchester, you'd get the traditional plus class. Doc, be clear. You said that you think that Boston Vietta is better than New York Vietta food. I'm a diehard New Yorker born and raised until I die. I got the mess hat on right now. But Boston Vietta food definitely outranks New York Vietta food. Let's check it out. We are at Cafe Thin. This is such a dope concept. They wanted to merge like a Vietnamese coffee shop, a modern Western coffee shop, and a Bun Mi shop. Did you order that Vietnamese coffee as really strong? Yes, she did warn us that. And that's what we wanted. Yes, that we like strong coffee. And this one has condensed milk, so I'm excited. But you guys, we are here with the Fubarito here at Cafe Thin, man. What are you thinking? Honestly, this looks a lot better than I was expecting. They got the rice noodles instead of rice.  I know their entire goal with this was to make pho a hand food. And the way they were able to do it with like the pho bowl and almost like the sullen tong, you know, like Korean stone pot bowl. This is pretty like French style.  This is fascinating, man. All right, I'm going in, but I'm dipping this. Fubarito. It's good. That's as close to the pho experience as you can get, I think, without actually having pho. That's so close to the pho. As far as like in your hand, that's unbeatable. All right, you guys, we're looking at the drinks from Cafe Finn. I've got a regular, you know, elevated Cafe Souda, which is the, you know, standard Vietnamese coffee with a chicory. And then you got what? Boston cream, you know, it's kind of crazy because like Boston cream is just a donut. Like if you get a Dunkin' Donuts. Finn coffee. It's definitely a fusion, but this is the smoothest Vietnamese cafe Souda that I've ever had. This just tastes like straight, like heavy cream, like sweet in the coffee. It's like the perfect, I'm not a big- Did it taste like a donut? It did not taste like a donut, but you know, I'm not a, I'm like a really, I feel like I have a childish palate. Like I don't like bitter copies. I don't like bitter things. And this is perfect.  Nock, you got your homies here from Boston. We got our homies. They're really from Lowell, you know, shout out to 978. We got Paul out here looking like a 90s Cambodia gangster. We got Mikey, who's like Mr. Vietnam, like national VSA board, like. All right, so this is the cold cut Bummi that they have. And so they would do things a little bit different. They give you the sauce on the side and they got a little, they'll put the peppers in the sauce. So the spiciness will come from the sauce. Right here, we got the chicken Bummi. And so they have their own nuk mam and teriyaki style sauce right here that we can dip in. You know, this is pretty interesting. Like the teriyaki is not too overpowering. It's pretty, pretty good. Like in Vietnamese, we're saying ngangmung, you know? Yeah, this is good, man. Normally if I say this, it's not, none. What are we in front of right now? We're in front of a classic spot, YY. People say hole in the wall, YY straight up a hole in the ground. What I love about Boston's Chinatown is that it's so compact. Obviously, you know, I'm familiar with New York's Chinatown, but I would say some of the streets here are even smaller. Would you compare this to New York Manhattan Chinatown's Wafeng? Yeah, 100% Wafeng, definitely. All right, we're gonna get the three treasure rice. Of course. Where you from? New York? Yeah, New York. Yeah, New York, Chinatown. Yeah. No, bigger. Hold on, he just said New York's Chinatown's better. I like Boston Chinatown, it has a, it's charming. But your spot is better than New York Chinatown, right? Yeah, I think it is the most famous in Chinatown, it's the most crowded in Chinatown. 1976, from New York, then moved to Boston. Okay. So he's from New York, Chinatown. Do you like New York? Ah, that time I was younger. But I feel like too many people look like Hong Kong, I don't like it.  Before I walk in France. Okay. The best. Your, your, your, your. Your. Your. You all right on this? No, I, I, wrongs what you are. Oh wrongs. Wrongs what you shoot. No, before I walk in kitchen. I know, I know, but your. Your, yeah. Your. We're a minimum of the BX days. Hey man, you're serving the country, man. Oh yeah. Wow. Silly, silly, silly. Okay. That is a calculation in North Carolina. That, that is, that is like Georgia. Uh-huh. Real Boston, yo. Shout out to him. All right you guys, we are in the world famous legendary Boston Chinatown, YY. And let me just tell you this. I can see YY. Bro, I can see why people talk about this spot. You have your house made chili oil right here. I might just have to pour that on.  Ginger scallion. It's looking real green, man.  I don't really like it when people say the dirtier the Chinese spot, the better. I actually think that that's a little bit outdated saying. Andrew, you got the chashu, you got the kai, AKA chicken, I've got the op, AKA the duck. YY, salty, flavorful, spicy. David, he was telling me that traditionally in Hong Kong for suyuk, you never eat it with hoisin sauce, you just eat it with soul. That's how you're supposed to usually eat it. See, seafood. When it comes to Chinese barbecue, I've never been a big fan of like five spice flavor. I mean, that's very prominent in Chinese barbecue, but I feel like here, like the ginger scallion oil, like it really balances everything out. Like this is definitely one of the better plates I've ever had. Pro tip, guys, if you come to barbecue spots, ask for extra, extra ginger scallion, AKA gherng cheong, jiang cheong, honestly, man. This is good, bro. People earlier was saying it was the chicken. I think he's right. Oh, oh. Yo, straight up, I can see, like we said, I'm not trying to kill this joke. Actually, I'm not gonna say it. I can see why, why everybody told us to come to YY. I'm gonna give it a five out of five for me. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Chinese barbecue, I can't lie, and this is like my favorite plate that I've ever had, so I gotta go find that five. Guys, I know some people I messaged us and said, oh, YY over the years, the quality went down. If this is where the quality went down to, then I can't imagine where it was at, because to be honest, everything is juicy. I think certain bites are better than others, but to be honest, overall, this whole experience, plus the house-made chili oil, it's banging on all cylinders. Five out of five, five out of five for YY. Man, I wish we could finish this all, but we gotta pack it up and head to our next spot, Boston's Chinatown. Let's go. Okay, bye-bye. Bye-bye, bye-bye, yeah, thank you. Welcome to YY again. Aren't you guys, we have arrived at the legendary Gaga seafood restaurant. I saw this all over Yelp. There's a photo with a lobster over sticky rice. So Boston's known for their seafood, lobster rolls and stuff like that, so it's like a little bit more of an Asian take. You've got the high-quality lobster, you've got the sticky rice, solid late night spot. Where else can you get twin lobsters at two in the morning? Yeah, and you know what's really interesting? I was looking at the photos, Andrew. Chinese, we have lobsters, I think in Asia too, but these are Boston lobsters. You can tell by the redness. Yeah, and you know, when you get the Atlantic lobsters, extra cold waters, the lobster's a little bit more fatty. Sticky rice lobster. Okay, 10 years? 10 years. Okay, where are you from? From Guangdong, the South China. I love Boston too. Okay, here we have the Long Ha Luo Mai Fan, AKA stir-fried lobster with sticky rice, man. It's actually surprising. This is probably the most popular dish here, but it's not on the menu. It's kind of like an open seeker, you know what I mean?  Yo, they kind of add to the mysteriousness or kind of the mystique of it all. That's cool. And you know what I got to say? This is one of the most compact seafood restaurants I've been in. I'm going to serve you all. I'm going to put, I'm going to first get you to the place. Yo, very few places actually have this dish. I'm not saying no places have this dish, but it's not like every spot has. It's that in New York, they prefer a different style of with black beans and a little bit maybe egg shards. And then this is more of a sticky rice style and more Boston style. So we're checking it out. You know what's special about it though, it's because it's a Boston lobstack. Ah, straight from the harbor. To be honest, it's probably from Maine, but. Boston lobster sticky rice. That's good. Lobster flavor is rich. I would say surprisingly the lobster flavor is shining, which I totally agree. Sometimes they'll have lobster in addition, which you can't really taste it. So when it's lobster season, I think the water is warmer and what ends up happening is that the meat ends up being sweeter. So we end up getting like a more pure lobster taste. Oh my gosh. Is it safe to say that Gaga's going straight to the Mata? So it's straight to the Mata, 100%. Explain that real quick. Mata is actually up in Hollywood for head, right? I mean head. I got really popular in true music in New York, but it was like, you know, like aggressive rap music people I don't know. So how do I say my head is hard? Amar Mata, Amar of Maine. Amar? Mata. Arma Mata. Onyx Berry. Onyx. Shockta. Oh, Omen Mata, Onyx Shockta. One of the things that's very charming about Boston's Chinatown is like the old New England kind of structures and buildings that you don't really get in New York. New York, you get a little bit more of these taller Dutch style buildings, but I don't know what it is out here. They just look like they used to be houses, so it's kind of cool. All right, continuing the 2021 Boston Chinatown food crawl. We're outside of Baobao Bakery, man. Tell us about it. Baobao Bakery Double Chin owned by the same people. This was originally owned by the people that run Double Chin, their parents. And so when they opened Double Chin, it was kind of like to pay homage to their family and keep it connected. And to this day, the two restaurants are still connected. You were on a notice visually in Chinatown is that there's a lot of things from 40, 50 years ago, and then there's a lot of stuff that opened up in the past like two years. Aren't you guys wearing Baobao Bakery? Everybody pick one thing. For me, I'm gonna gravitate more towards the modern items that I've never seen, but they definitely got the TV, LCD menus, and things of that nature, which more indicate, you know, an updated mindset. Hold up. This whole thing is cake. This is taco. Wow. Yo. Yo, you were amazed, bro. You was amazed. I'm not, maybe it's because I'm single, but I was looking at it a little too long. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you were sexually attracted to the cake. I'm really not gonna get more into that statement or joke, David. You know that I could go down the wrong path with that one. So let's talk about these cakes. I'm going, I'm going. Okay, you guys, we're at Baobao Bakery. Their specialty item is this Boba joint. And this is kind of common, but very few places are gonna give you the Boba on the side to pour it yourself. I think that that's actually something I have not seen. Yo, are you ready for a pour? It's raining outside, but it's about to be raining, Boba, and Boston. You go for it, you the cake guy. I am the cake guy. There's a little bit of a thicker crepe cake, mili crepe. Okay, okay. The densest mili crepe that I ever had. All right, you guys, we have arrived in front of what I heard is the wackiest Asian American fusion restaurant, maybe in any Chinatown in America. It's got some really interesting dishes on the menu. David, we've been to a lot of Chinatowns. We've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants. And I gotta say, looking at the menu here, it is doing things differently. Right, they've got spam fries, peaking duck fries. It's like a fusion spot, and usually something that's that fusion you would think is serving non-Asians, but this is in the heart of Chinatown. And everyone that comes here, it's like pretty Asian after a long night out. This is one of the few spots that's open till like four in the morning. And they carry wacky alcoholic drinks as well. Double chin. All right, let's check it out. All right, you guys, we are with some of the most unique items at Double Chin. Like we said, super wacky, but I heard delicious still. I know Shin Ramen Tao Fun or Tao Min. It's Tao Min, but with Shin Ramen. So they've actually taken the Shin Ramen out of this bowl and they stir-fried it, they cooked it, chicken, onions, everything. So we got the peaking duck fries, you know? I feel like peaking ducks, it's like a special treat, you know what I mean? And to put it with fries, like this regular kind of snack with a little hoisin' and the cucumbers on top, bro. You're right, I think in recent years, people have figured out a way to make duck a lot cheaper or even mimic that peaking duck style without the whole process. They got those like dollar bonds and stuff like that. They're able to like get you like 80% of the way there for like 40% of the price. Yeah, this is a spam in taro cut into the shape of fries served in the spam container. Obviously I've got a, you know, I do it. They got such wacky stuff here. They got this LED cube. It's called SPF 50. It's called SPF 50, but this is alcoholic. I mean, this is lit. The Laita Bulba, okay. So this is gonna be a Hong Kong milk tea. Let me just pre-game with this real quick. Double Chin.  I like this dish because it reminds me of the Hong Kong style like chow, instant noodle chow mein, except it kind of has that little bit of a shin ramen flair. So it's a little bit of that spicy Korean-ness. Mac and cheese made with haul fun.  Oh my gosh, do you see this? Mac and cheese haul fun. Yo, that's good. Wow. I didn't think it was gonna be good, but it's good. But this was a five out of five Mac and cheese haul fun. You guys think people should take their rice and rolls at home and start making Mac and cheese with them? Guys, you might not have what you need. You know what I mean? He had a really hot walk. He was taking some of that heavy cream, but man, I gotta say, as far, see this dish, David, we've been to a lot of very expensive hipster restaurants in New York City, and I could actually see this dish being at one of those expensive hipster spots, but they're just doing it first. They're doing it on the more affordable end. My biggest takeaway is that your hoisin' sauce tastes mad good on fries, but I feel like I gotta start doing that at home, you know? All right. It's an interesting sweet, sweet and salty combination. Asian American fusion in Boston might be more developed than any other city I've been to in America. Really, even more than Cali? Yeah, honestly, because Cali, it's like, they tend to do more elevated originals. This is like just taking it in a whole another direction. I don't know if it's the amount of students or the Harvard MIT influences. You're saying some MIT guys thought it was. Just thinking differently out here. It's a five out of five. Let me reiterate. Okay, we're here with the owner Gloria of Double Chin. Tell us what you're doing here because for a lot of people that are our viewers, it's like this food is wacky, it's crazy, but it's good too. Thank you. I'm so flattered. We grew up in Boston. Our family is Chinese, but we grew up here as Asian Americans. So our menu here is a way to express our identity. We have a lot of the classic American dishes glorified with Chinese American touches. So my parents have always been in the food industry. They've been working. They have had food businesses for like the last many decades, but when they passed away in 2009 and 2014, we kind of wanted to carry on their legacy and do something fun and creative. We didn't want to just open a random Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. We really wanted to do something that was cool, express our identities, where we could tell our own story. All right you guys, there is not just Chinese spots in Chinatown. There are a lot of Pan-Asian collections of different things.  Penang is a city in Malaysia. Yo, Malaysian food. This particular Malaysian restaurant though has an interesting background and a crazy connection to New York City. Yeah, so it used to be owned by the same people as Nanya in New York. Like Malaysia is made up of three men at the group, Malays, Chinese and Tamils, right? And so Tamils will play a huge part in like the food curries, right, breads, all that kind of stuff. You see the influence on the food. And for people like my parents, who aren't super explorative eaters, it's kind of like eating something they know, but also something they never had before. Was it kind of like a fusion point, but like an ancient fusion point? That ancient fusion, yo. Ancient fusion is fire, because we know it's worked for generations. Let's go to Penang. David, we've been to Penang in Malaysia before. Yeah. So it's a very interesting city. They speak a lot of Cantonese and a lot of Hokkien there. And let's check it out. Let's go, la. All right you guys, we are at Penang restaurant, an offshoot of Nanya. They have gone, since gone their separate ways, a very classic Asian restaurant story. Knock, we heard you loud and clear. Let me just just come out and say it. Malaysia is part of a lot of different cultures. They have their local Malay culture. They've got the Sino sphere and they've got the Indio sphere. And they're all very, very extremely valuable and contributing to this delicious food. So these dishes that we have here are not just your regular Malaysian dishes, but these are gonna be the ones that are a little bit more Indian influence, right? So what, we got the Indian migurang.  Some curry powder, some turmeric. So this is the knock, the knock migurang. The knock migurang, okay represent. We got the nasi lemak, which is the national dish from Malaysia, but very Malay. And actually, you know, I think if I was to compare from Gali food to another culture, I think Malay food is the closest one. Really? How we eat our rice and like curries and stuff like that, I feel those are the two most similar. I remember, I would say, I see what you're saying. Never had Indian migurang, all right? I'm excited. But actually, migurang guys are actually really popular and even like Nigerian. Yeah, yeah. Indomie, Indomie got super popular in Nigeria. Indian migurang. Kind of like South Indian flavors, right? Tamarind, maybe turmeric. So martabak is very Malay Indian fusion. It's roti and it's stuffed with beef, right? Minced beef, it's keema, minced beef. And they give you a little curry, coconut curry chicken dipping sauce for it. The martabak is fresh, gotta get it. And of course it's beef guys, no pork here. No pork on my pork, bro. No pork on his fork. Oh, this is good. Whoa. I'm more used to the dessert martabaks. Martabak, money is the dessert one. You speak Malay? Siddiqui, siddiqui, a little bit. Nock, you speak, you speak some Malay. Yo, I feel like Nock is representing for all of the Indian sphere right here. I just shout out to my Tamil, want to come. Like I, you know what I'm saying? I gotta represent for everybody. See, you see how thin it is? I got the crispy bits, I got the soft bits. That's the ideal.  I got the nasty in my mouth. If you go to like the Caribbean, they also say roti, right? They actually say roti skin, just like you to refer to these. Nasi Lemak and roti. Malaysian food is so underrated guys. You find yourself a good Malaysian spot.  I think Malaysian food has some of the best balance between like, like we were saying, some of the Chinese elements, but the spicy Southeast Asian and Indian elements, and they just know how to do it right.  This is what I'm saying. You could get all of our parents in this restaurant right now, and they would all find something on the menu that would appeal to them. Or maybe even our grandparents. Our grandparents. And people that are picky eaters, you could bring them all here. And if you're, if you're some Asian, some form of Asian, your grandparents will find something on this menu. Sharkway dial. So this is a little bit more on the Chinese side, but with still diversity. I don't see between the roti kanai and the sharkway dial here. Those were both a five out of five for me. Like Boston's trying to tell them, you know, guys, don't let the old history as a combat zone or red light district shake you out of here. The food is A1. Well, and let's be honest here guys, as we may or may not know, that in a lot of red light districts, the food is good. So we got the nasi lemak, nasi means rice, lemak means fatty, right? So it refers to the coconut, the coconut milk that they cook the rice in. It's supposed to be real like fatty, you know what I'm saying? Like soul food kind of.  They usually got some sort of anchovy mix over here, hard boiled egg and the carrot. This is actually like a very, very Malay like dish without much influence on the outside, you know? It's very like just sticking to them. But it looks, if I gave this to my parents, this looks like just like a Bengali dish, you know? And I know just how to eat it, you know what I'm saying? Like this is like, like second nature, you know?  Oh, yo, Andrew, I'm gonna say something crazy. Hot tickets better than Nanya in Chinatown. I wish Chinatown. And you know, I have a love for Grand Street. I'm just saying, I gotta say how I say it. Are you trying to say a spot in Boston can be better than a spot in New York? This is totally shaking my preconceived notion that everything in New York is better than Boston. But that is not necessarily true. Shake that off. Right now, Boston has some really great food and some good beef. Now, there are so many different spots. Honestly, knock, I've got to say, Boston Chinatown really impressed me. Dude, there's so many things that are like a crossover from New York City. But we gotta check out this spot because she was asking us to come in and just open up, it's called Bun Mi Hunker. You know, I'm sorry I mispronounced that. You wanted to check this spot out. I've been meaning to because there's not a lot of Bun Mi spots like in Chinatown. There was a couple, but some of them closed really quickly and stuff like that. And outside of Dorchester, it's hard to find like great Vietnamese food. You know, Dorchester's really close so we end up just going there most of the time. But you know, anything close by like I would want to come once you went up. Well, you got a Via homie, wouldn't you, right? Yeah, we got the Mr. Via homie. We have the Mr. Vianom. Mr. Vianom, how do you say this? How do you say this? Bun Mi Hunker. Bun Mi Hunker. Let's go. Oh, Khu Khac, ham, and other one. Ah, Chi, I hope you don't get any more. No, you're going to Cha Xiu. Cha Xiu, ham, Khu Khac. Oh, okay, Cha Xiu, ham, Khu Khac. Okay, okay. All right, you guys, we are trying this authentic Saigon Bun Mi with Mikey. You had very good Vietnamese skills, probably of the multiple guests that we've had. It was top 5 percentile for in-language communication. So Mr. Vianom, Mikey, I'm gonna need it. I'm gonna need you to tell me what are some super, super authentic elements of this bun mi. So obviously, for the regular bun mi, we have to have the ham.  In the pate, right? Yeah, in the pate and the mayo that they make from egg whites. Dude, the mayo, talk about the mayo, because a lot of people, their mainstream bun mi is using mainstream American mayo. Yeah, for a Vietnamese mayo, we usually just beat the egg yolks, right? We beat it until in the butter, until it becomes nice and buttery, and it looks like mayo, consistently. It's not like American mayo. So it has a different flavor. Yo, this might be one of the most authentic bun mi's I've ever had, because I have not had the chance to go to Vietnam yet. Yeah. Authentic bun mi. Dude, this is lit, man. Dude, this is more authentic than the ones in Seattle, even, and Seattle's more authentic than New York. One thing that I do know about bun mi's is that traditionally, Vietnamese baguettes. So baguettes come from France, right? But in France, they make baguettes out of wheat flour, right? When they came to Vietnam, wheat didn't grow that well, so they had to substitute it with rice flour sometimes. That's why Vietnamese baguettes have a different texture than you get out of French bakery or something like that. Dude, that's a good gem, man. I didn't know that. So you're saying they almost had some rice to it? Yeah, some rice flour, right? Yo, I feel like I'm out in District 5 of Ho Chi Minh City right now. I like my bun mi's wet and moist paws, but this is good. You know, I never really liked the special until now. This is the very first time I've really liked the number one special. So shout out to, how do you say it again? Bun mi hung kueh. Try it. Bun mi hung kueh. What do you want me to know? All right, you guys. The last spot on our 2021 Boston food crawl is shojo. This is really inventive. They've got stuff like Hong Kong egg waffle, chicken and waffles. Doc, you personally told me it's a great place to take a date. It is. It's very vibe-y. I may or may not have worked here. It's been a lot of hours in the town. Wow, shout out. You're probably going to see this. But they have a lot of cool artwork on the side. So obviously they're trying to bring a more modern kind of like nightlife, maybe Budokan type of vibe here. The vibe that I explain is like, you'll be in there, they'll be playing loud DMX, right? But then you've got old school Hong Kong black and white kung fu movies. Hey, when your relationship going good, you go to shojo. When your relationship break up, you go to double chit. When you guys get into a fight at the club, you guys will double chit afterwards for dog issues. We're just kidding, guys. There were so many spots that we wanted to include in this crawl, guys, but we are limited by time and scheduling and just, you know, different places open at different times. This is our last spot. Sorry, we forgot your favorite. We will come back in another time, but let's check out shojo. Let me show you shojo. We're here with one of the managers at shojo. What are you guys trying to accomplish with this spot because it's kind of like a fusion, right? Yeah, so we're a modern Asian fusion spot in Chinatown. We definitely are very hip hop culture kind of influenced. So we try to bring a little bit of that hip hop and graffiti culture into Chinatown. We are with the spread here at shojo. They've been around for nine years, but they're constantly updating our menus and the drink program. This is the third iteration of this Chicken and Waffles. They've changed the recipe three times. They did call the Chicken and Waffles 3.0. All right, hey, 3.0, that means it's probably the best version. This is really, really dope because it has the kaipai, which is more from like a Hong Kong cafe side, but they fried it Southern fried chicken style and they made it like a thing. David, we've seen a lot of Asian Chicken and Waffles before, man. Hong Kong Chicken and Waffles here at shojo Boston. Dark meat, juicy, like the savoryness of the chicken, but the sweetness of the waffle and the syrup. You know what I like about that five spice syrup is that it has like a little bit of a spicy hum to it. So when you pour it on, it's got like this salty, spicy kick. All right guys, here, the next thing I got here is their creation. You got the shojo nator. I'm just gonna cut it in half. You know what I really love about this is they could have cheaped out and just got the frozen bios, but they chose to make their own bios and steam them in-house. That's a lot of extra work.  A lot of people in their minds want a spot like this. They're like, you know, I want to serve Asian food with hip hop and make it cool, make it like a nightlife spot, but they really did it out here in Boston, man. Shojo nator burger. Every good Asian spot still has to have a burger on their menu. And this is delicious, man. That Korean queso works out really well. And honestly, this is one of the best Asian fusion burgers I've ever had. It's kind of like animal-style fries or like harnessado fries, but they got the mapo tofu with ground beef. They got the kimchi. They got the fries they do with duck bat fried and duck bat, which you know? Shadow fries, shadowless fries. I know why you were talking to this spot up, man. I know why.  It was a little skeptical at first. I was looking at the, you know, I was like, okay. No, because a lot of people do Asian fusion and play rap music, but I'll throw a lot of people that doesn't come together properly. And I was like, is this a little try hard spot? No, no, they try hard to make the food good. You guys, for the very first time, Andrew, I'm gonna give it all three of these hip hop Chinese fusion dishes, a five out of five. We are wrapping up 2021 Boston Chinatown food crawl. Like I said, I apologize again if your favorite spot didn't get in or your family spot didn't get in. We can't go to everywhere. There was a ton of shopping spots. For all of the story is, the reason why we did this video is just to show people that Boston Chinatown has some really good and cool things. They got the traditional, we took you to the cheap spots and we're taking you to the new fusion spots. So we went to YY to show Joe the.  Yeah, Nakh was speaking Malay to the waiters. That was real crazy, man. Yo, you guys follow Nakh on social media. Why don't you plug in, you have your own food show, right? Yeah, we do, it's called the fake food show. We do a lot of local stuff in Boston. We're starting to travel a little bit. Come check us out. I'm bridging a lot of communities on there too.  Nakh is an N-A-Q, but you know. You guys may or may not remember because we didn't get the chance to bring it up from the Bengali Jackson Heights video. I'm a legend of mine. I'm a legend of my neighborhood now.  Sevented as part. No, we don't.  History goes to the ones who document it. I'm just saying, it's documented. It's in stone. Until next time, you guys, huge shout out to everybody in Boston, in Boston's Chinatown. Let us know what else we need to check out in Boston or in a city nearby. And until next time, guys, we're out, peace. Boston's Chinatown was way more charming than I thought. And I think that the fact that the rest of the city isn't that diverse makes the Asian community even more tight-knit. It reminded me of growing up in Seattle because at that time, all the Asians knew each other since there really wasn't that many of us. And the community vibe is special. Plus, the food was super impressive quality-wise, which always helps. Thank you guys for watching this video. I just wanted to say that my best friend, our homie, Ken passed away recently. And it's because of him that I have my passion for bridging communities and showcasing different neighborhoods, traveling, all that stuff. My passion for food and culture. It all came from meeting him. And so I want to dedicate this video to his memory. Yeah, he cannot say it any better than myself. Ken was always about bringing the communities together, whether it be through urban culture, street culture, or food. So I'm glad that we were able to do this video here. It's showing all the different cultures and foods in Chinatown, Boston. I know he'd be proud of us. So this and everything else I do, I always dedicate to my brother, man, Ken. Yeah, I love you, bro. Rest in peace, Kenna.


Have you ever tried to lose weight, but no matter how hard you worked or what new diets you tried, you always ended up gaining all that weight back and any form of progress that you made was completely erased. Well statistics show that about 6 and 10 adults state they are currently trying to lose weight, but 80% of those people who do lose weight actually regain those pounds back within 2 years. And there's only about 20% of people who actually see long term success and weight loss without any type of professional help or the use of fitness apps. So in this video I wanted to share the 3 simple apps that you should download to your phone right now if you are trying to start your weight loss journey or you've been trying to get your body back in shape over the last year. And as a certified health coach and ex-personal trainer I back them 100%. Now before we get to the first app I already know your first question is probably are these free or paid apps?  I think one of the biggest reasons why people fail to lose weight is the fact that they do not have any skin in the game. In my experience every person who has invested either their time, their money or made a substantial sacrifice for their health, they are the ones that saw the best weight loss results and actually maintained them. Now before you click off this video these apps do either have a free version or at least a free trial to test out the premium features. Either way you'll make faster progress versus if you didn't download them in the first place. So back when I was doing personal training I noticed that many of my clients' weights would fluctuate week to week even though they were crushing at the gym. And after doing a little bit of digging I found out that it was less about the output that they were doing during the actual gym sessions and it was more so about what they were doing before they even stepped foot in the gym. It was all about what they were putting into the body in the first place. No exercise is going to make up for poor nutrition and not all food is the same. And this is why the first app I recommend downloading is MyFitnessPal which has been my go-to app for tracking my food intake for literally years. It's perfect for understanding the exact amount of food that you're consuming and you get the bigger picture of the total composition of the types of foods that you're eating as well. One of my favorite features is actually being able to scan the barcode of a food item and then basically getting all the nutrition information about that piece of food.  Something that is also pretty useful is that you can now choose to follow one of the pre-made nutrition and wellness plans that MyFitnessPal has uploaded in their library where each day you have a different healthy habit that you're trying to build or maybe a nutritional goal that you're trying to meet. But even with all that nutrition out in that alone won't get that number on the scale to go down or that extra flab to melt away. Especially if you're someone who can't seem to find a weight loss method that is proven easy to follow and works specifically just for you. That Influencer's crazy ab and cardio routine on Instagram and TikTok are too intimidating and exercise PDFs are severely outdated and pretty much 2012 if you ask me. There's so much information out there on the best exercises for flattening your stomach or the top five tips for getting shredded arms. But the big mistake people make and honestly you might have fallen to this trap too is that you don't really need more knowledge of every exercise on the planet. What you need is a structure methodology that organizes all that complex information into a clear plan of action. A trusted fitness program that is simple, direct and personally tailored to you and your weight loss goals. Which brings us to today's video sponsor Copilot. Now Copilot is more than just your standard workout app. It's basically a virtual one-on-one personal trainer and coach in the palm of your hands. Honestly this has been a game changer for me lately because my full-time job has been really pushing me to my limits and I've really slacked on my workout regimen and honestly it's the reason why it's taking me about two months to put out a new YouTube video. And even though I'm an expert on a trainer creating a workout program takes a lot of time especially if you want to do it right. And for me honestly I just do not have the time of the day to dedicate myself to building a full workout program that I can follow. Which is why when Copilot reached out to me I thought it would be a perfect fit. By working directly with a certified trainer and coach all the guesswork and the time spent trying to create a workout program from scratch was completely taken out of the picture. And what was nice was the fact that this app works great if you're a beginner or you're experienced in this whole fitness game. The setup is super seamless as the first thing you do once you download the app is fill out a brief questionnaire around what you're trying to achieve and then Copilot pairs you with a certified fitness professional that can help best meet whatever your weight loss or fitness goals are. The coach that I'm working with now is Sam and what I appreciated the most about her was before she even provided any sort of exercise program. We talked through all of my fitness goals for the coming month and we got really transparent about what was honestly realistic given my hectic work schedule. And so I think we aligned on three days a week for my training which would cover upper lower and full body depending on the day. And she also added body weight based programs that could be done when I didn't have access to a gym or when I was traveling. Now I've only been on the program for about a few weeks now but it already feels so amazing to just go to the gym and immediately know what I need to do. The app is easy to follow and I love that you get a clear video example of how to do each exercise and movement as it comes up during your workout and you also get verbal cues from your coach when you need to switch exercises or maybe focus on a specific area of the body. Everything from reps to sets and energy levels are tracked within the app itself and I can interact with Sam in this chat area whenever I have any questions regarding form or asking to increase or decrease the level intensity for my workouts. And I'm actually starting to feel pretty good that I'll be able to get my strength back and lose some of this fluffiness that's starting to form now that I'm staring down in my 30s. So if you're a beginner when it comes to working out or maybe it's been a while since you last stepped foot in the gym I definitely recommend you check out my link in the description below so you can get your free 14-day trial with co-pilot, try out the virtual personal trainer for two weeks and if you enjoy it stick with it and you'll start seeing how you get closer and closer to your weight loss goals. And if it isn't your thing, well hey look you took 14 days to start making changes towards a healthier lifestyle anyway. Okay now that you have the nutrition and workout squared away what else could be missing? We focus on eating well, we make sure that we stay in the gym if all legit program, but what do we do once we finish that last set? Well the biggest game changing factor that I think contributes to weight loss is recovery and mobility and let me explain to you why. So mobility and recovery is key to more durable joints and muscles and the more durable your joints and muscles are the less probability you have of getting injured and having to miss time going to the gym. And honestly this is one of the most underrated aspects of our health that we take for granted. And for me the best app to tackle mobility, recovery and flexibility after a workout is Pliability. I found out about this app around eight months ago after I messed up my back and I was looking for an app that could help me with my mobility and flexibility and what I love about Pliability is the fact that they have two simple paths for their mobility workouts. You can either have a buffet style where you can pick and choose a workout based on what you want to target and focus on or you can take one of their preset routines which they can do. Or you can hone in on one specific body part or area such as the lower back or you can choose to improve your overall mobility and stability over a certain movement like the squat. The videos are very easy to follow along with and they can range anywhere between 45 to 10 minutes which is great if you don't really have that much time. Each program's music is really relaxing. There's a narrator who guides you through each of the movements and no lie it definitely challenges you because you can end up holding a stretch for like three to four minutes which doesn't seem like a problem for you. If you want to help up a Pliability session my body feels so much more mobile and I can feel a lot more comfortable knowing my body is less susceptible to getting injured which ultimately means I can avoid any type of gaps in my training and I can be more consistent with the routine I set for myself to reach my fitness goals. So my fitness pal, co-pilot and Pliability are the first fitness apps I recommend that you download right now to kickstart your weight loss journey but these apps alone won't get you to that number on the scale that you're striving for. What you need is something that you can find and put it into an easily digestible format that you can actually understand and the best place to get started is using a fitness tracker that shows you your daily progress to reaching your weight loss goal along with the quality of your health in real time. This video right here will help you decide between the two best fitness trackers that you should consider or if you want a chance to win a smartwatch that doubles as a fitness tracker then click this video right here because I will be announcing the giveaway winner in my next video.

And what is this? So this is our entry-level digital sandwich products solutions, which is a digital sandwich dongle, which is, how to say, have the same functions as what we already introduced on the cloud-based digital sandwich solutions with HDMI input, AHD-30-01, this is AHD-23-AD. So this one is very entry-level, but with the four functions of the, how to say, of all the digital sandwich, cloud-based digital sandwich products. And it has, based on the ARM CPU, and also we have the LAN, which could be, how to say, more stable connection with the LAN. And also we can have the Wi-Fi. And on the other hand, we have the lock. And it's just directly output through HDMI port to the TV. And this also is managed by the Amazon web service-based content management systems. And you can manage it by anywhere, any place under any units. So you just connect to any TV and becomes digital sandwich? Yes, you connect to any TV and it becomes digital sandwich. What's the SoC? It's secret. Secret? So you have entry-level, is it ready? Yes, it's ready, it's ready. So the price is just below $100, it could be $50 or something like that, but we're not finalized yet. But with the subscription fee per month. But it's very convenient and very easy for one, how to say, one just like coffee shop or one haircut shops. They buy one, they have the TV, they can manage their contents by themselves or one restaurant, whatever. So it's very easy and very low cost.


Hello everyone, my name is Carlos, I'm from Colombia and I'm a PhD student at the UCL Medical Physics and Bioengineering Department and my research focuses on the development of new X-ray imaging technologies, basically to push the technology so that you can see things that were invisible to X-rays until now. What inspired me to work in this field? Well, I was trained originally as a physicist and I was always looking forward to see the application of what I was learning. And I think medical physics gave me a very meaningful field in which I could apply my skills basically to improve people's health, which I think is one of the most important things to work for at the moment. The medical physicists that I am are, these will very likely be William Rungen or Honesfield, basically the first one discovered X-rays almost by chance and the second one pushed the technology to a level in which found a bunch of applications across different fields in the medical sciences, which was basically the invention of computer tomography. Where at the moment the most exciting thing about medical physics is being involved in a field, in general healthcare, that I believe as many of us suffer because of the pandemic, it's going to be a really key field to work, especially towards developing novel technologies that improve people's health, but also that make healthcare systems much more equal. So that's it for me. Thank you and a happy day of medical physics.


you ready Richard you ready Mike? Oh good job. Three. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to today's availability. A reminder to media on the line please press star one to enter the queue you will be limited to one question and one follow-up. I will now hand it over to Attorney General David E.B. Good afternoon everyone thank you for joining we're assembled here on the traditional territory of Lekwungen speaking people the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations here with me today as Manpreet Kara from Vancouver Island Health Authority. As you know we just introduced access zone legislation to establish protected zones around schools and healthcare facilities we know that the pandemic has been incredibly stressful for so many British Columbians and obviously we don't need any additional unnecessary pressure on key workers and healthcare and education facilities they're already under incredible strain as a result of COVID-19. We recognize that free speech is an important right but there is no right to intimidate healthcare workers patients students teachers and staff who are already stressed and pressured this bill establishes vital safeguards for those heroic essential service workers who have kept those services open for all British Columbians it ensures that people will be able to access hospitals and students will be able to access their schools to enjoy the rights that they have to access those services. With that said I'd like to hand it over to Manpreet Kara from the Vancouver Island Health Authority for her remarks. Thank you Attorney General David E.B. My name again is Manpreet Kara and I'm the interim executive director of our acute care hospitals here in Victoria and I'm here today on behalf of Island Health to speak about access to our hospitals. Protecting access to our hospitals and healthcare facilities is paramount to the safety of our patients staff and volunteers. Patients must have urgent access to our emergency departments every day and in some situations even a brief delay can have serious outcomes. Non-emergency situations also require immediate access. Outpatient clinics, dialysis, medical imaging or just some of the essential healthcare services many people rely on every single day. The people visiting our hospitals deserve the certainty this change brings. The pandemic has been hard for everyone. Healthcare workers have had and continue to have many long hours and difficult days. COVID has made many things difficult but it should not be difficult to get to work. With this change our clinical staff volunteers and visitors will be be able to access our facilities without being obstructed or delayed. People will not be obstructed when they're visiting their loved ones in the hospital. People seeking emergency care will not be delayed. People who have dedicated themselves to caring for others will not be held back as they go to work. So on behalf of Island Health I appreciate that access to our hospitals will be protected for all British Columbians. Thank you. Thank you very much Manpreet. I'd like to open the floor up for questions from members of the media. Thank you very much. A reminder to reporters on the line please press star one to enter the queue. You will be limited to one question and one follow-up. Our first question today goes to Lisa Kordasko Vancouver Sun. Good afternoon, Minister. I would like to ask you for comments that you made earlier today to the conference on affordable housing. You said that you would withhold funding for programs if a municipality refuses to work on the supply challenge. And I'm wondering what you mean by refusing to work on the supply challenge and what funding are you referring to that could be withheld from them if they do? Well, Lisa, I'll say this respectfully because I do respect your work greatly. I did not say that. I said that in fact our government was working in cooperation with municipalities to establish housing needs surveys that we hope they will incorporate into their official community plans and match zoning to a consistent with legislation that we've introduced. I did say that if that cooperative approach was unable to work that one of the avenues that is open to us that was recommended in the opening doors report was to use what that report described as carrots and sticks to respond to the issue of housing supply. That is something that has been outlined for us as a potential option. It is not something that we are actively doing. And so I can't say what that would look like at this stage. But it is something that has been presented to government as an option in that jointly commissioned federal provincial report. But at this point, I'm very hopeful that we'll be able to get where we need to get cooperatively with municipalities. Lisa, do you have a follow-up? Yes, but you did suggest, I guess, that there is some resistance somehow. Otherwise, why would you have even, you know, kind of brought up the idea that possibly funding could be withheld? I'm worried, Lisa, you didn't get to see my full remarks and I'd be happy to make them available to you. I outlined a number of examples of challenges we faced, frankly, around housing supply. For example, one of the situations I listed was in Surrey where the municipal council turned down an independent living facility for adults with disabilities because it was too tall and there were complaints from immediate neighbors. So when I think about those adults with disabilities who don't get BC housing funded independent housing, this is a concern for me that we have a problem in our system. I hear from developers who are working with nonprofit organisations who made up that audience that I was speaking to this morning, talking about the fact that their work with these nonprofit organisations is held up adding massively to their costs in an inflationary environment. There are serious issues and anyone who looks at our housing market right now and doesn't say, wow, we do have a serious supply issue around needed housing, knowing that we have potentially as many as 40,000 new Canadians a year coming to areas like the Lower Mainland under the federal government's increased immigration targets, knowing that we have in migration from other provinces as people move to British Columbia for opportunities here, knowing that we're hearing from employers that staff can't find homes for their workers, seeing the escalation and pricing and record low options for people that are looking to buy. I don't know. I have to express some incredulity that people are still speaking out saying that they don't believe that there's a supply problem in our province. I think most municipalities agree there is one. And in my remarks, I also outlined some of the nuances in our province that are very significant regional differences. So in the north, a shortage of developers in communities like Prince Rupert in the south, lots of developers that want to build a challenge getting through the approvals process. It's something that we need to work on. I'm very grateful to my colleague, Josie Osborne, who's taking on this issue. And I do think there is a very serious issue and hopefully we're able to tackle it in partnership with municipalities. For the next question, we go to Richard Osborne. Minister to the legislation. Now that we're getting prepared at some point in the next few weeks, hopefully to immunize children, but is there a concern that there could be protests aimed towards that type of immunization? And how would this legislation prevent that from happening? The proposed legislation that was just introduced in the house establishes a boundary of 20 meters around a facility where there is a testing site, where there is a vaccination site around schools and hospitals. And the goal is to preserve access and key elements that are in the legislation are creating an atmosphere of intimidation towards people that are trying to access that service. That's what we're trying to control here and try to limit so that people are able to access those services and that essential work workers are able to get to work without facing that kind of intimidation that we've seen. We definitely have concern based on what we've seen in British Columbia and what we've seen across Canada that some of these folks will attempt to interfere with people accessing schools, with people accessing hospitals in order to promote their message. And that is completely unacceptable. The legislation is intended to send that message. Richard, do you have a follow-up? I haven't seen the legislation in full, but I understand from the materials you've provided that it also gives an option to add additional places. Can you talk to me about what that means? You know, we saw protest with the FENETAP on Remembrance Day. Could that be included? Where else could the province add the bubble areas and what are the tools to add those additional areas? So it's important to recognize that there are some specific criteria that Lieutenant Governor and Council or Cabinet is required to consider in adding a new site to the list. And that is, are people having difficulty accessing a service? How essential is the service that they're trying to access? Because we do recognize that there's a balance here in terms of people's right to free expression and people accessing these services. So that's a key component that Cabinet is directed through the proposed legislation to turn its mind to. And there is the possibility after engaging in that weighing exercise to add additional locations. I don't know that anyone would have predicted that emergency rooms and children's schools would have been a site for anti-vaccine protests and intimidation. And so we're not quite sure what people will think of next in terms of trying to advance this particular idea that they have in a way that intimidates essential service workers. So that's why we have this ability to add additional sites. It's also important to note that the 20-meter boundary that the legislation establishes could also potentially be increased if we find that that for one reason or another is unworkable. For the next question, we go to Rob Shaw, Check News. Prime Minister, just on that 20-meter that you mentioned there. So, could that have a bubble zone of 50 meters? Is that one has 50 meters? I think the bubble zone for abortion clinics in BC is 50 meters. Why did we take 20 here? Why is it different than what seems to be kind of an agreed upon number that other places are using? So we're trying to balance a couple of important pieces here. One is obviously people's right to free expression. And the other is the access of essential workers and people who depend on the services that they provide to those facilities. We have started with 20 meters, if we find for some reason that that's inappropriate, that that's not meeting our desire to protect access for patients and students, as well as education workers, teachers and staff, and medical workers, then we can revisit that through regulation. It was part of the design to start as restricted as possible and then expand if necessary. Rob, do you have a follow-up? Sure. And then there's also, I haven't seen the legislation, I don't think it's online. You don't line what the fines might be and there's mention of arrests. So are there sort of prison terms or kind of jail terms that are arranged here? There are a couple of different enforcement tools that the legislation empowers. Police can issue tickets of up to $2,000 for violations. Police can arrest individuals and imprisonment can be up to six months. In addition, it establishes an application process to B.C. Supreme Court, where an injunction could be sought. So it's an expedited and simplified injunction process for particular activities that might be intimidating workers. For the next question, we go to Bender Sajjan, CTV. Hi, I'm just wondering, give us that piece there about the enforcement to leave often seen, you know, these kinds of rallies happening. People are massively seem to be reluctant to go in. So have you had discussions with police forces? What makes you think that they will actually move in and enforce these rules? So this legislation was co-drafted with the Ministry for Public Safety and Solicitor General and their office engages regularly with police. It is our understanding that this will be an additional tool available to law enforcement at their discretion to respond to these kinds of events. And that is the goal here is to give them one more tool to use their discretion to make sure that access to these essential services is protected. You know, when we put various enforcement orders in place at the provincial level, it is still up to the discretion of the individual enforcing officer whether or not to use them. Bender, do you have a follow-up? I have a follow-up on what we are doing with American marriages. What is in this legislation that says to make sure that potentially next year it will end up with a new ceremony that will be able to start the ceremony? Yeah, I think I caught it. You caught it? Yeah, I think I caught it. So the question I understood was about what will, in this legislation, will prevent an interruption at a remembrance day ceremony potentially next year, if this continues to be an issue. And if that's wrong, let me know. But so this legislation is around protecting access to essential services like healthcare and education. The police do have breach of the peace charges that they can use around breach of the peace arrest powers that they can use around public events where someone is being disruptive. They also have mischief charges that they can use if someone is interfering with someone's use of property. Those tools will remain in place. This legislation, though, is carefully tailored around access to services like healthcare and school. Next question goes to Rob Monroe, Info News. Hello, Minister. I'm just wondering why this is taking so long. We've had incidents in July in Kelowna where we had a racism rant outside of vaccination clinic. We've had people showing up in schools. And a guy that was ranting hasn't even been charged yet. We haven't been sent for files. Why now? Why not much earlier? There's been so many incidents in the interior. Sure. So this is our first legislative session since these incidents took place. Our team worked very hard to bring this legislation into place and make sure that we were satisfying a number of different concerns. The urgency, obviously, that all of us share around ensuring the protection of access to schools and hospitals. And also a shared desire to ensure that we're protecting as best as possible the rights and freedoms of all British Columbians. In addition, we had concerns and have actually put into the legislation specific consideration around the rights of Indigenous people and Indigenous nations in terms of ensuring that they have control over when and how any legislation like this would be used on their own territory. So I'll say that I think this is the right approach to make sure that we have it right. And I hope that it's passed in the House as soon as possible. Rob, do you have a follow-up? Yeah, I'm just wondering when we're going to be targeting some of these people charges that you can find. Numerous times, some of these organizations, we had weekly rallies in Kelowna, and you've asked for rallies. Are we going to really start cracking down and charge some of these people? This legislation gives law enforcement one additional tool. It's under the Provincial Offense Act. It's not a criminal code provision. That is federal government jurisdiction. We think that the administrative ease of the Offense Act and our hope is this legislation will give police officers those tools where there is intimidation happening, where there is an interference with access to essential services. That this will be something that they're more readily able to use to ensure there are consequences for those individuals up to a $2,000 fine, up to six months in prison. These are serious potential consequences. Thank you very much. That's all the questions we have, and that concludes today's event.


You don't know where to say how many features this nigga did. Tell it. Tell it. You say I'm a talent nigga. So style up. You got a good tour. A skateboard. This nigga got all tested by artificial articles just to make it to this day. We on Boss Talk 101. Here we go. I think Motley, Motel of the Hill. Did Lil Wayne? Yeah.

So style up. You got a good tour. A skateboard. This nigga got all tested by artificial articles just to make it to this day. If you try now for the NFL, right, you got the quarterbacks. You got the running backs.  So you name your niggas who could do two things. What you mean? If we had a collar bound for artists, right? We got artists who can tell jokes. We got artists who can get on live and make people interested. You got artists who say, OK, nigga, go on there and sing. Can you sing? OK. Can you rap? How fast can you rap? Right. Can you dress? How good of entertaining you are, right? Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne can barely goddamn talk. Yeah, he don't do a lot of interviews. He don't do a lot of interviews. He barely can talk. So at the end of the day, like Drake, Drake was more talented than Lil Wayne. OK, without Lil Wayne, there would never be a Drake, man. He involved, he evolved.  That's what makes him more talented. I agree with that. So that's Drake. I mean, Drake is more talented than Lil Wayne. I think Drake is more business-minded than Lil Wayne. No, he's more talented. Because he know how to keep that money going up. But I think Lil Wayne have problems with that. Yeah, but he got the Wayne, Lil Wayne rapping eight, nine years. He don't have nothing with nobody? Nothing. Him and Andre 3000. Yes. They love to sit back. They ain't got to. I think Andre 3000 says he's not hip-hop. Like it's T2O to be hip-hop. Matter of fact, imagine. He said, I'm T2O for hip-hop. What's a good example? People say Bumb B can rap. Bumb B can rap. Bumb C can rap. Bumb C can rap. But Bumb C was mortality. Bumb C was more of his, it's the way he carried himself. Exactly. That's my nigga, though. Yeah. So people be like, Bumb B will harder. And Bumb B did lyrically wise. He will harder. Bumb C sometimes say anything comes to the top of his mind. I can't say that just the way they're saying it, though. And the way he makes the sound come out. The toneality, man. Now I want my, now at the end of this whole interview, I want what I was saying. What? I hear what he's saying. That's how I feel, the way he was just saying it. The way he did it. So that's how I feel. But I got a question with that, though. I got a question. What? Because you keep on putting Mode 3 above almost everybody. Is there anybody out there that is more talented to you? Boosty. Than Mode 3. You say Boosty. I say Boosty. Is that because Mode 3 looked up to Boosty?  Boosty was a bad motherfucker. Boosty will tell a story. I walked outside. I'm tired of this, man. He'll make you picture it. Is it because you and Boosty had a relationship before? Nah, nah. I seen Boosty telling it before. Boosty was better than PMC.   Now you done messed up. Don't do that, bro. Don't do that. PMC, don't do it.  You got to realize PMC did the production and all kind of stuff, man. He could go in there and make a whole album and just use Bun B to just deliver. This nigga was different, man, and he was gonna get on that thing and ride it. The hooks, they gonna wrap. Nah, nah, nah. It's just too much to him, man. Let me tell you. No, I'm PMC my favorite rapper. Let me tell you. You write about that. PMC only gave the game to one category of people. Dope dealers. Pimps. Nah, all strippers nigga, you missed. Okay, I don't want a nigga. Okay, strippers. No, them strippers. But let me see it. All the niggas. All the niggas. So at the end of the day, he only gave game to the people in the dark side of the world. Mode 3 too, nigga. Since you wanna go there. No. He gonna bring up that one. How many songs? How many songs did Mode 3 have that game like? Take it to the church. Look, he always came with him. Do you know what I had to do through my life? Here we go. Taking the church. Here we go. Second chance. Second chance on the last album. Outside. You know, he always got inspiration through what the guy. So you know. I keep looking over there. That rain chain. Hard boy. Every sound. That don't go hard. That's what causes it. You say everything change. When I got the rain chain. When you getting another one. Well, I got this damn chain. I ain't got nothing. You ain't got nothing more? My watch faked. You ain't got nothing. You know, people gonna always say, oh, he only got one chain. Everybody walk on it. Three, four, five times. Nah, they'll get you killed. Oh, no. That nigga, that's right.   Just listen to what I say. You know what I'm saying? Just come on, y'all. I'm gonna give y'all a game. Y'all just got to listen. If I if I come in podcast world and I don't know what I'm doing, I don't listen to what you say. Then it's my father. I feel that's real. Yes. That's real. Just straight up. If I got that much past to tell you what I say, I've been doing it. I've been doing it. I kind of see. But then, you know, sometimes it says will make a nigga lose focus.
