All right, Celtics post-game live. Tom Zile, Scow back here in Boston. We got Drew Carter and Eddie House still in Atlanta. Celtics fall in this one, 1-23 to 1-22 in overtime. Scow, I'll just start with you real quick. What did you think about the late game, the management at the end there, the late game execution from the Celtics as they fall just short on this one? I mean, I didn't love regulation, but I was fine with the way that they executed it. And over time, I think they had an idea of going to Porzingas, he made the right basketball, played Jim Brown, made a tough shot. What did you guys think down in Atlanta, Eddie, of the Celtics and the way they kind of drew things up at the end of regulation and over time? Well, I thought at the end of the fourth quarter, I thought that they were just stagnant. They were just waiting for somebody to get a shot, playing one-on-one basketball, got totally away from the way that they play. And then I thought just defensively, their attention to detail, too many offensive rebounds. I know this team crashes the glass. If you know that, you have to make sure you find a body, put a body on somebody, and go close out that possession with the rebound. You know, I think the Celtics did take advantage of Atlanta's aggressiveness on the offensive glass in transition. You probably want to find a happy medium between doing that and allowing them to get whatever, 18 offensive rebounds and a bunch of second chance points, both Donovan just three to tie the game. That was often offensive rebound, which was kind of the story of the game. And then frustrating at the end there with that last possession of regulation. They had the entire shot clock, and it was four dudes standing around, and one guy taking a pretty bad shot. Yeah. And meanwhile, the other side of this is that Dejante Murray goes for 44 points, and he had 11 and over time, we saw different guys defend him. You saw a good possession from Derrick White. True holiday, had a nice possession in there as well. But in the end, Dejante Murray just able to make the shot was at just the clutchness of Dejante Murray in this situation. I mean, I think Eddie talked about just the lack of defensive intensity to start the game, and then he got it going. And it's really, at that point, he's a really good player. Like a lot of people think Dejante Murray is a star on a lot of different teams. He could be a lead guy and to shut that off later on, it's tough. And I give him a lot of credit. Like they played three games in four nights, and he's on a back to back, and it looks like he had the most energy out there. Eddie, what do you think of Dejante Murray's performance down the stretch? I thought that they hunted out for Zingas matchup, and we didn't make the adjustment until late there when we was forcing the guard to go over the top and trail instead of switching. They were hunting that switch, that switching matchup the whole time, and he was able to get to where he wanted. We didn't make the adjustment. And sometimes you got to just say, hey, you know what, let's get the ball out of his hands and let's rotate out of that.  He came out and he was chirping from the beginning. So this game meant a lot for him. I think Skal makes a good point too about how much he's played three and four nights back to back. Who's questionable coming in? Played 47 minutes tonight and got 44 shots up, scored all 11 of their points in overtime. And yeah, you're right, Eddie. He was talking that talk all the way back to Monday, and he backed it up tonight, even though it did take him a million shots to get there. He was the reason they won. Think about it. We're obviously upset, Giles, but if he doesn't make a really tough shot with 0.1 left, the Celtics walk out here with a win. But that was solid, Dejante, but he already had it going. We gave him too many looks and too many easy looks where he was comfortable. We didn't really make him uncomfortable until there in the overtime where Drew Holiday was getting into him, and he has a couple tough shots. But besides that, I thought that he had a masterful game being out there, being in control, and had the most energy in three games and four nights. You go back to regulation. The Celtics were up by three under 30 seconds to go. It was an offensive rebound that led to a boy on Bogdanovich, three-pointer, and that was kind of one of the big themes in this one was the second chance points. 28 of those for Atlanta in this game. So I'll tie in the second chance points with the defense because a lot of times when you get cracked on the glass, you're giving up, triple penetration, the biggest coming over, and the guy is getting offensive rebounds. So rebounding and poor defense in this game is tied in together. And I just thought Atlanta liked the more aggressive team, the team that was quicker to the ball. You know, I didn't love our defense throughout. We had 40 points in the paint in the first half. That was, had to be close to a season high. On the year, we gave up 60 today, but that's because they started knocking down threes in the second half. So 28 second chance points, you know, sometimes this game, on the contrary, like people get caught up in execution and shots made and, you know, do we take too many threes? You know, we're usually a great rebounding team. We're a great defensive team. And we've kind of lost that identity. You saw some of the stats throughout the game about where we were and where we've been in our last four games. Well, today is not going to help that either.  We're, you know, a top five team in both categories. Our defense is the reason why we're, like, the odds-on favorite to win an NBA championship. And if you're not going to defend the ball and you're not going to rebound the ball, then you're in an uphill battle. And, you know, we still could have won this game. Jalen Brown makes an excellent shot to put us up. But when you look back, the lesson learned is you've got to play right from the start. You can't allow what happened in the first half. And you have to have those, you have to have a battle and a mindset to battle on the glass. Because that's ultimately what the way you win championships, defense, rebounding, taking care of the basketball. But today our defense was poor and our rebounding was very poor. It felt like there was almost a couple of minutes there in the third quarter, like between five and three minutes to go in the third quarter, where there were some good defensive trips where they got some blocks. No, no question. You know, and they're trying to distance themselves from the Hawks and just say, hey, we're the much better team here. But Atlanta just hung around. How much is it also that you let a team kind of hang around and get some confidence that it's gonna be that much more difficult to put them away? Yeah, there's some truth to that. But I think like if people are watching this show right now, they're wondering, is this gonna be something that comes back to buy this, right, in the playoffs? And the only thing I could say is, it seems like when it's a big game against marquee opponents, we seem to handle our business. And for whatever this little stretch is, and it's not just, don't get me wrong, it's not just the Atlanta game. If you go back to the Chicago game, you heard me on the broadcast, the first three quarters, we're like picking and choosing when we wanna defend.   So if that is the case, and then we should talk about that, but all I hear is building great habits, all I see is coasting to the finish line. So either way, I'm fine because I feel like this is gonna have home court advantage. You guys know where I stand. I don't necessarily believe that there's a carryover. Like if we don't guard Atlanta well, all of a sudden when we get to the playoffs, we're not gonna be able to guard. I don't believe that, I really don't. But it seems like the message coming through is developing good habits. And we'll find out New Orleans is a good basketball team. They play tough. Zion is living at the rim. So we'll find out if we're about that life right from the start, or if we're in this world where we're gonna kind of coast to the finish line, and that's where we're at then, let's just be honest about it and let's submit it. Okay, let's actually look at, because we talked about it a little bit off the top of the post game show, and we talked about it with Drew and Eddie, but we have the video now just taking a look at some of these final possessions, because that's the other thing that everyone's gonna be talking about coming from this game, right? Especially after what we saw on Monday, but Jason Tatum at the end of regulation, especially after the foul on Matthews, that gave the Celtics the ability to take the last shot. All right, so yeah, so in this situation, Tatum has the ball now. I got a problem with the play. I mean, the one thing I will say is Tatum doesn't have a lot of space to work. If you look, I mean, I don't know if we could stop it. Maybe I should go up to the board and break this thing down. You know, in the NBA, you can't go to what you wanna go to. You have to go to space. And when Tatum got the ball, the whole right side of the floor was wide open. There was one guy in the corner, which basically means the whole right side of the floor is open. Holiday set a screen, he peeled out of the screen and now Tatum had not a lot of space to work to his left, but he had to go left. So I look at that. I'm not blaming Jason Tatum. I'm not even blaming Drew Holiday, but I will say it was poor execution by the Celtics because that ball has to find an open space. That ball has to find an area.  So I just didn't like our spacing in that final possession. Now you go to the overtime one. Yeah, we got that one as well for us. I'm all good with this. It's poor Zingis with space. He finds Jaylen Brown and he goes to an open spot. So I have no problem with the overtime possession. So the overtime possession, and as you're referencing it, Celtics are down by one. Jaylen Brown is able to give him a one point lead here as it goes into poor Zingis who finds Jaylen Brown cutting towards the elbow here, knocks down the jumper.  He got rid of the ball and Jaylen Brown got to a spot. We know he's a mid-range assassin. So I got no problem with the way that this play was executed and the spacing of this play. All right, so that gave the Celtics the one point lead. And then you thought, all right, just one stop. They just need one stop with six seconds to go. And Jonte Murray, this seems like pretty good defense from Drew Holliday. Yeah, I mean, he was already cooking at this point.  He made 19 of them right there. Got a little dance, a little shimmy telling everybody, you guys don't know, but I am him. Yup, he told the Celtics bench I am him. And he was talking trash the other game too. So you know what? I got like, from the Hooper side of me, I respect the Jonte Murray and what he does, the way he plays and the fact that he's on a back-to-back and he's going after Boston Celtics. Like he is about that life and I actually really enjoy watching him play during that time. Okay, this is the final shot with point one left. Did that go in? I don't think that went in, it went under. Did it go under? I can't tell because they said it went in. Oh yeah, it did go under. Either way. Yeah. So I'll just explain to the people the thought here. Point one on the clock, the thought is to shoot the ball into the basket. There is no goal tending on side out of bounds. So as that ball is about to drop in the hoop, if you go up and just barely nick the ball, just as it's going through, you can touch the ball, that would be a bucket for you, who wins up by the rim, and it would be a game-winning shot. That's the only play that they have. So that great job by the Celtics, Derek White was just short on it. You gotta go over the rim on that one, but I'm not blaming that on Derek White.


at the Carver Museum for hosting us here today. Grab a bite to read something to you from the New York Times. Oh. So you may have been following this, and I just had that exact language. Anyway, in spending so much time together, talking about some things that are really troubling in negative in the world, there's just some positive news happening in the world. There's always something to share together, and basically deciding the Army Corps of Engineers is not going to issue permits on the pipeline. Whoa! The tribes say it sits near sacred burial sites. In a statement, they said, although they're going to explore alternate routes. So they could engineer some, although we've had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information standing around soon in Dakota Access, it's clear that there's more work to do. The best way to complete this work responsibly next to the vicious week is to explore alternate routes with the pipeline across the back of the river. They're not under the river, and that's what we're after now, so small victories, small wins for organizing and coming together, right?  But if you could be, we're going to work individually and in small groups and large groups today. So if you could be in groups of four to five folks, that would be great. So people in the back can come join a group, and you'd be like, um, here's a photo. So just a little circle of your awake controls. Something else to keep in mind as we're working in small groups is that they're tightly echoing space, is that it will have a tendency to get really loud really fast. So by acknowledging and sort of pointing that out right now for you to be aware when you are talking with folks in your small group, if we all decide together to talk quietly and talk at a tone that's appropriate for the folks around you, we can prevent this sort of rapid exhalation of everybody yelling over each other, right? So just keep that in mind.  The way the conversations have been focused on process and focusing on taking, like, what are the next actions we're going to take forward? And it came to us in conversation when we kind of make these facilitations oftentimes as a group of us talking first about sort of what's going on with the people we're working with or the conference. But it came to us when we were sort of discussing things that oftentimes the hardest part about taking an action is first to, like, sit and think through where you are and what you're doing in the moment. If you're going to think through ideas, like, what does it mean to live in this formal phrase of Trump's America? What does it mean to look at ideas like displacement and gentrification and looking at the ways that equity, diversity, and inclusion intersect with those ideas? But sometimes the first thing you have to do that is really hard is to sit and think about what are your own day-to-day operational practices? So what we're going to do today is do it.  I just want to drink a whiskey neat anyway. So it's like, OK, let's not reinforce that wish. But how do we do this in a kind of playful way? In a kind of way that allows us to see our own thinking in a broader sense. So what we're going to do today, first, is an activity that we call Making Space for Innovation. And for Making Space for Innovation, if you have a writing utensil with you, go ahead and hit that out. If you don't, Brad has one. And he also has little note cards in case you need paper. You could use your phones to give a note app or something that's not necessarily important that you you could use your digital devices if that's planned and if that's not handy. You just need one note card, cover up your clusters. I can tell you that. You'd rather type something in a note or an email to yourself. That's OK. Do you have devices you have writing utensils? I'm under specific instructions. Here are the names of the rounds. The magic rule works. Then, in ecology, you counterproductive behaviors. And then, facing down, undesirable results. Now, each round will get 10 minutes. In the 10 minutes work like this, they follow a pattern called one, two, four, all. So the first minute, you will be working on your own. So this is for the introverts and the people who need a little time. The next two minutes, you will be speaking in a pair. Then we'll move to small group and then a whole group discussion. But we are going to go through that one, two, four, all having in 10 minutes. As we work, I just want to bring back up the agreements that we've been working under. Number one, speak from your living exterior. Use your own knowledge. Speak from that space. Number two, respect that the language and ideas we share are formed from really different experiences and cultures and privileges. And this is the third thing, because this can get tricky, and I'm really terrible at this. Be aware of the air time in your use. So this is not a space when we're moving this quickly. We don't want to monologue. I always want to monologue. So it's harder for me to just be aware of how much space you're taking out. So I'm going to back this back up to the very first part of this activity, and it's called Imagining Who Worse. So on our kind of slanted screen, you can see a kind of progression. And I'll read it for you as well. Make a list of all you can do to make sure that you achieve the worst result imaginable with respect to challenging discriminatory practices associated with displacement or gentrification, or preparing to meet the challenges of Donald Trump's America. Choose one or the other. You can come back and do this with the part you didn't choose another time. But the worst possible results. When you do this, keep in mind your own context, in your work, in your artistic practice, when you're thinking through one of these ideas in the space in which you work, how could you achieve the worst possible results? Let me give you an example for my own. So I'm in the process of forming a community advisory board. What I can do is put Steve Binn on that community advisory board. So really, when you go for worse, go for real worst. Don't be like, well, I cannot be very well organized. No, just go big time. Yeah, I would also say this is a rapid list-making. This is not picking one. This is think of as many and as quickly as you can, actions, things you can do to make sure the worst, and just rapid fire, generate a list as fast as you can. Don't overanalyze, don't overthink. As Tara said, go big, go obvious, go super obvious, and come up with as many of these actions as possible. And it will help frame your thinking if you just kind of choose to focus on one of these two topics. All right, you have a minute for list-making and silence. Go. It requires a lot of time. Yeah, it needs to get timed out. The worst possible results. But we're focusing on what you would do to achieve the worst possible results. What you, the worst things you could do to achieve the worst results is for two minutes, you're going to share your list with somebody close beside you.  I know it's hard to think this way. It's opposite of how we're taught to think. So if you hear something truly terrible, just add it to your own list. Feel the worst, all right? You have two minutes to share with a partner each other's list. Go ahead and share. From each group, to stand up and just tell me one or two things that rose to the surface in your conversation. So one person for each group, stand up, please.  Good point. We have a phrase Donald Trump and a minus one place. A what? A minus phrase Donald Trump. That's disastrous. Um, I do believe that we should bomb the story of the neighborhoods to make room for condoms. We also had accepting Donald Trump's policies or not actively fighting against them. Supporting outright campaigns and not allowing ourselves to be silenced and wasting people's time. We're going to ask for citizenship papers for entrance to arts events. We're going to resurrect the old, demeaning discriminatory language of arts critique, including comments about how one looks. Um, who has it on? Who here do you find has even a little investment? Um, donate money to the KKK. And take a lot of drugs. That. Listen to people who share our perspectives. For gentrification, turn all rental properties into Airbnb's. And for Trump, do nothing quit or change programming to reflect the values of a repressive agreement. Here. Um, we actually share with Susan Kew, not the drug group, um, give excuses and donate to the KKK and let people know that I did it proudly. Um, and, um, excuse, break this ideals and actions. Yeah, we just basically said nothing, don't engage, but we're at, we're not, we're not even. Here. Yeah, we just don't care.  We're going to make pinatas, thank you, that look like stereotypical images of immigrants and sell them and, um, but we can't call it pinata because that's not an American word. Good word. Good word. We're going to use Trump rhetoric. We're going to program only things that appeal to the very wealthy and particularly Caucasians. We're going to do away with all youth programming and we are going to sell the dance place and the two houses we own, uh, to greedy developers and we will, uh, support all of the greedy developers in changing our neighborhood into being extremely gentle. Awesome. Thanks. Awesome. And, um, here. Um, we're just, we're just going to leave for the show right now. These are terrible. You're very successful in being terrible. Um, what I want you to do now is just read over your list again. Go back to your card and just look at that list again. And if there were ideas, sorry, Karen, if there were ideas that you heard from other groups that resonated with you as well, you may add them to your list. So you can add terrible things to your terrible list. One, two, four, I'm going to say three. One, two, four, all. I'm going to change the impetus a little bit. This is kind of the harder thing to do what I'm about to propose. I want you to go down that list, either by either, and ask yourself, is there anything that we are currently doing in any way, shape, or form that resembles this item? And you have to be kind of brutally honest to do this. Now, I, some things there won't. But for example, when I say, look at Steve Bannon on my community advisory board. Well, that's about policing bodies of color, Muslim people. I can look at that and think, well, that's about policing. Well, I know that the security in my building is not particularly friendly to non-white and non-wealthy folks. So that's the analogy I can make from the very worst possible things may be a practice that's actually happening a little bit in my environment. Bright enough one, for example? Sure. I'd like, so for example, in a gentrification project or a neighborhood, in a redevelopment project, you, while you want to engage a lot of folks, you may realize that you have no one on your board that looks or resembles that particular neighborhood or has, in the long, it has a history or a connection to that neighborhood and you may realize you haven't done anything to actually change that, which brings someone onto your board as a reflection of what you're really trying to do in a particular neighborhood. So you may realize, even if we're not further in gentrification, we're saying there was a, maybe you didn't think that yet. Right? So you just take that list for one minute. For one minute you're going to take that list and just look at each item and see if it echoes with any practice that's alive in your building. And some of them won't. But I would imagine there are some items on that list in which there is an echo. So again, we're going to do one, two, four, all, skipping the three. So you're going to have a minute to just study that list on your own and create a new list of kind of analogous similarities. Okay? So one minute. Go ahead and restart. Brutally honest. And in silence, you're working in silence. In your practice, your organization's practice, it may not be you necessarily, but if you see things in your organization that are happening, that resemble this behavior, that can count too. If you see collaborators or folks in your community among your supporters, if you see that behavior, that can count too. So in brain, if we don't start with something that's really out of the box and kind of wacky, and then look for connections, we're just going to spin. So this is to get us out of great habits of thought. So again, one person from each group, if you'd like to stand up and share with us a thought and idea that came up in your conversation. Be it a fact. Remain to be quiet on the areas for the editorial team. Not adequately challenging the privileged discourse fundamental to Western contemporary dance, but there's no inherent or necessary risks. Oh. Don't drop it. Not adequately challenging the privileged discourse fundamental to Western contemporary dance which there's no inherent or necessary risks. Right. You pass it. Bringing people from our community together or getting information from them, forgetting that they may or may not ignore this and chronology that they own that information. I know. Where we put our money, and who were paying for it, who were investing in one, what that means for our practice or the digital world. We talked about economic support or patronizing or partnering with judge-of-time businesses that services are out of the reach of original thinkers. I don't need that. We talked about basically doing nothing. I think that's the worst thing just doing nothing when it comes to racial injustice and feminine injustice. We talked about practice of not presenting local artists bringing in artists from around the city and so that creates a situation where you're not presenting artists of color who are present locally and also just be a set of some kind of traditional aesthetics and kind of some of the traditional aesthetics around what I call an art and how that art is like potentially larger than what people love. We echo the partnership with businesses in the role of gentrification, art, watch, the mechanisms of gentrification, the artist's perspective, humorizing the people's difference. There's one that's also not putting art bodies forward in action to be physically present or physically writing those letters making them a physical action part of art. What do you mean people's differences? Humorizing. Humor and commitment. Yeah, like making friends. Long-term complacency leading to long-term complicity. Hopefully you should hear what you're resonating with us. Did you realize that we're doing that too? Yeah, it's happening around me. I've seen that, there's an action to that that I can identify with. Alright, we were talking about treating this like this is normal. This is really supposed to be normal. And then also you know, allowing our lawmakers and watchers to give this new regime more respect in the past. Because what we've seen over the past eight years has been disgusting. And we've improved this image. We talked about checking out and disengaging. We talked about a lot of echoes from what's been said. Sort of acknowledging our privileged bubbles that we live in that we live in, in our intersection with other types of representation and communication happening in that echo chamber that's sort of speaking to yeah, close to us. These are going to be repeated but it's important for our language and our money to keep arising about money familiarity be allowed for disrespectful language. And we also talked about the taking of money when the source of the money is not aligned with your values. We talked about taking action to work outside of our bubble even when it's we're all fighting to survive but to make the effort to advocate and organize with other local and to be public even in our own materials about ways in which we may be contributing to gentrification or practices that we may find ourselves in that we can't necessarily get out of but to be public about that in our programming and materials. We also spoke about acknowledging who might be funding our work and who our partners might be and that's what we do. Okay, is that everybody? Okay, great. Things that resonated that you found there were behaviors and actions that you may be a part of or see or be familiar with that's contributing to some of those undesirable results, yes? Okay. And it's good to be in a room where you hear a lot of honest talk and it kind of resituates you within your own struggle. So this next step the third step is the hardest and I want to point that I'm going to ask you to, of course, do the thing you've been doing. What is the first step that you might take when addressing this problem? But I want you, I mean we can write dissertations about this but I want you to just think of the tiniest step the first tiniest step possible. So I talked to you about the ways in which I know that the security folks in the building that I work in follow non-white folks, people who look less wealthy they follow them around the building. So the first, and I made that here today, there's so many difficult things I can say about where I work but the first thing that I'm going to do when I go back this week is we have to have a meeting with the artistic director and we have to begin to talk through how that behavior directly nullifies his vision and vision for the organization. So that's just a meeting. That's the first step I'm going to take. I can't change it all by myself but I can make that meeting happen. So don't be overwhelmed just think of the first step something that you could maybe initiate in the next one to two weeks. And two and even more specifically to stop the unproductive behaviors that you just identified, right? You're not going to solve gentrification you're not going to solve the challenges in Trump's America. What is the thing that you need to stop the behaviors? So in my example, it might be I can have a meeting with my government committee at my board to address term limits to make it easier to facilitate more rapid change within the board, right? To change the makeup on one little thing you can have a conversation about term limits. Doesn't mean I've got to fire the whole board and start from scratch. One little action to take to try to address the behavior that you identified. And we're going to repeat the one, two, four all patterns. So you have a minute to think on your own. Go ahead, thanks. And then you can share with your partner and as you hear amazing things write those good ideas down. You have a couple of minutes to share with your partner. This is my favorite part of the whole thing is getting to do this. As it came up in our group was the aspect of the boards and the nature of the programs that make money and establishments with only very blue chair organizations like blue chair museums or performing arts centers that are really established. And one of the first things that I would do is address this problem or this situation with my board and have an open discussion about what this admission is on the regards. I personally think that researching our first making almost a priority and how the problem would be better to use our boards would enhance the negative response to the people. Basically being instead of just initiating self-doubt for your community experiences so that they understand those people well. Speak up even in the face of one's own fear. Join others who are organizing. Keep resisting and sharing information and communicating with our constituents. Our volunteers join the movement made physically present. We have conservative family members and have conversations to read articles and have nice perspectives show them different human experiences than they're seeing. And finally show above in 2020. Thank you for your diverse programming after the first five years of partly organizing. Don't wait for the audience to come to us who want to diversify our audience go to them partner with other communities and ask what they want. My task is that our board is not diverse enough so I am looking at my task now personally to seek out diversity for our board members. We want to mobilize ourselves not having meetings like this in our homes examining our back banking practices identifying social justice activist organizations to donate in a monthly sustaining basis and we have a couple of recommendations for you. Formulate a short statement against the practice of oppression that we add to our introductions particularly whenever we educate or where I work on the situation have our friends call us out anytime we say anything or have a practice that we should be not doing. Downtown project for elders and then this place we talk about elders and three of our new neighbors who have been to our gentrified neighborhoods and our to and ask the people that we're partnering with what their experience is. So make it a practice to research funding courses and not allow monetary needs to be used. We're going to have a meeting at school, local public school and to find out how we can help dozens of children that have been displaced from their homes in our community in the past year. We want to commit to sitting down and having a conversation with somebody that has a vastly different worldview than ourselves and perhaps prepare for that by committing to read at least one long form of journalism article a week and for me personally next week I'm about to spend a week writing on this piece that I did my art first on which is looking at my own biography through the history of Oklahoma but I'm going to switch that from looking really into the history of Oklahoma using my own biography just as a big door. We talked about speaking up and getting into ourselves in the past when we see something or say something and organizing the trainings in our offices in smaller places. Thank you. We want to acknowledge that this kind of process of color destructivity in some ways is really difficult when you have a group of folks from a lot of different backgrounds and it's our experience you'll sit within your own organizations of people who have similar context it begins to really surface some interesting conversations one of the things that we also wanted to model for this group is not only here's our thinking together and here's where you're going to hear echoes across multiple organizations but also that this is a technique that you can take back and pretty quickly do it with your own colleagues. If you have questions about any of the facilitations that you've seen this week Ron and Brad their contact information is pretty available on the Fuse Box website my contact information is pretty easy as well it's simply Martina's Martina's which is my last name at Guthrie's theater on theater.org Thank you for being so game for having these conversations for putting up with being time for exchanging cards for being really honest and in kinds of difficult ways I'm going to rush out of here right now because I need to get on the plane in a little less than an hour welcome welcome so we're going to head out again thank you so much I'd like to say something Hi, so remember when we started on Thursday morning it was a really messy difficult conversation and it felt totally unwieldy and it was kind of dissatisfying yeah remember that so where we got you today and what I was hoping was going to unfold over a few days so I think some of that is just due to your generosity and openness to continue having these conversations over a few days obviously also Kara's really incredible facilitation for having us here and again I want to just reiterate this is the beginning of our conversation and we're on a journey together and I can't think of a better group of people to be on this journey with so thank you for your openness despite the sort of messy sloppy ways that we're all sort of figuring out how to engage with each other around these topics as we have in the last few days I want to just give a huge thank you to all the folks here locally UT Austin a few stocks of women in their work in particular and all of the local artists and volunteers who gave so much of their time both this week and the months in the year in preparation for this so local Austin folks congratulations to our partners I am so grateful for both your critique and your faith in this organization I hope that we can continue to go hand in hand together with both of those things in good measure and for the new partners for joining us it's really just a tremendous honor to have all of you here the board of MPM Band really stepped up this week in particular to support me and the staff in this transition time for us and they made sure that every single board member had jobs and roles throughout this week that they were dispersed throughout idea forums and facilitation and all kinds of other things so thank you all board members for being such incredible partners with us this week to look at our amazing MPM Band staff you guys first annual meeting and we're going to have a great party tonight we're going to have a dance concert and maybe he's got a couple of final announcements for us take it away


that participated in you know from caltrans to to all the emergency procedures um getting caltrans getting fema chp share of police public works from all the entities and maybe have two or three symposiums different parts of the county and but inviting the public and shared the information i mean we just heard about 300 road closures we talked we heard about caltrans wondering if they had a dig a ditch to uh because there was flooding on highway one you know there's a lot of to me if we shared those experiences school districts you know what emergency procedures we would take and take an afternoon where all these people got together and shared this information directly that could actually talk about how we would most effectively come up with alternative plans to meet these emergencies uh not only would it be i think more efficient but it would certainly be more cost effective um i'm just worried about when i see slides from this provider that go from 2025 to 2055 to 2085 speculation on how things are going to be with sea surges surges and so forth um that's one thing and maybe they're going to be right but i think the immediate information that we could gather from all the entities that i just mentioned from the cities to the to the county to all these entities would be much more efficient in terms of reaping the knowledge that we need to deal with these emergencies and just much more efficient so um so i guess i'm just looking at maybe from a practical standpoint of you know just you know sharing information okay directly immediately and not waiting for till 2025 to get some sort of report but having a real world right now that we can that that i think serves our county better thank you commissioner johnson commissioner rockin um well first i in a honest and totally friendly way and they respond a little bit to my colleague um scott's valley um the idea that putting together a multi agency meeting to discuss these kinds of questions would be more efficient than having one uh agency that actually does this kind of work and knows what they're doing it's it's a little it's all it's a hard argument i think um i'm not against having those meetings i think the data that randy's talking about is important i would hope that they group doing this work would be of course consulting with those groups to find out what their actual experiences are so i don't disagree with this idea about having those meetings they could be very productive but the idea that substituting that or stopping this effort of the rtc to actually figure out what our immediate needs are and to probably be able to prioritize the climate change needs we need to address seems to be not a good idea i also want to just say about the this is just more specific about the the uh real corridor the people who want to argue that somehow we would be better addressing this issue by not having a train or not we're not thinking about looking into and planning for a train i i respect the right of all of our members here to reserve their right to totally support this effort until they know you know what's it going to cost what are the consequences is it what's its real feasibility we many people have expressed that and i i express my own sense of like you know i'm i'm on board with the train at this point but who knows what the information will get and whether at some point we'll decide it's not a feasible project but the people that are arguing for immediate abandonment that we should like to start building the trail and forget about the train and never going to happen first of all in terms of the coastal commission's views not only the comments from our director but also the comments that's the woman from trail from transportation equity brought up you know that there's actual the coastal commission's views are they support rail transit i think that's important but most importantly of all i'd like to understand what people think the pathway to even a trail without a train is on that quarter without having a train or at least continue to sort of plan for a train tear up the tracks the idea of rail banking i was a supporter of that i think it was a great idea but it's there's no pathway to it and the end result is you lose the corridor not just for the train but for even for a trail uh because the right of way we have there is based on freight uh the freight planning for freight service to return at some point again whether we do it and whether how that integrates with the passenger service and a lot of huge complexities here and lots of reasons for skepticism i get that for sure but this idea will like just cut and run right now because it's just not feasible i think that can't do attitude is not helpful for our county and we do have in terms of what the public wants a vote a very clear vote the three quarters of the county in every supervisory district are in support of the idea of at least pursuing the train see where see where it goes find out what we what the obstacles are how we can overcome them and we also have an 11-1 vote from this commission that that's the path we're on right now and the idea that we just should abandon it so i always think about somebody who's tuning in for the first time to hear one of our meetings when they hear from the members of the public they just go oh we need to you know get tear up those tracks and just get right to work on the trail it's not a feasible thing to do it's less feasible than the train at this point because we'd lose the right or at least significant portions of the right away if we went in that direction so those are my issues about that thank you thank you commissioner rockin um other commissioner shiffen yes let me say that as much as i may agree or disagree with commissioner rockin it's really the rail trail isn't on this agenda item today so um i wanted to speak to the comments from commissioner johnson because i think he raises a very important point but i'm not sure it's any different than what is being proposed in this contract which is really what's before us because as i look at the contract it does have um outreach stakeholder meetings and so i guess i think the point that he raises about getting the various agencies together to talk about their experience share their experience and start have a starting point of you know this is what we've learned this is what the problems are now this contract is what are we going to do about it and that that's kind of was my understanding of what this contract was all about so i did find i forget i lost an honest thing um that they're that as part of the contract tasks are at least one stakeholder meeting and probably maybe several and i just wanted to clarify with staff whether the kinds of issues that commissioner johnson raised as important to talk about will be incorporated into this contract the shorter answer is yes commissioner but um there will be three opportunities for stakeholder meetings which will include local jurisdictions and response agencies our primary partner in this at the county is the office of response recovery and resilience they are the ones that have been spearheading all of the efforts in the last few months to keep santa cruz moving through these storms so we will be attending to a lot of the concerns uh commissioner johnson raised regarding getting getting the knowledge from the people on the ground and also one of the items in the framework would be looking at where do where do these assets already fail under climate hazards a lot already you know um that's going to be one of the factors using and determining where there are areas of highest risk because we're seeing it happening already and i would assume that as part of the state stakeholder meetings that elected officials would be participating as well um because oftentimes they have a really a comprehensive view of the public impacts of these disasters uh while staff has you know very important technical understandings but i think getting the public um concerns that would be reflected by elected officials is important so i hope they would be included in the stakeholder meetings as well we haven't yet prepared our outreach plan for this project but i will definitely take your thoughts into consideration and that's a great idea thank you thank you commissioner shifrin the comments or questions or we'll just add that um you know as much as i understand uh commissioner johnson's frustration with that with another study um you know i think that as as commissioner shifrin mentioned this will incorporate a lot of the outreach and feedback from the different agencies mentioned um i will also say that in looking at the local coastal program amendment that the county has pursued um one of the biggest pieces of feedback from the coastal commission when they reviewed that was hey guys go get a vulnerability assessment and come back to us with this and so i think having a vulnerability assessment like this for transportation infrastructure is going to be a vital step as we look to you know ultimately secure funding to improve all this transportation infrastructure so to that extent i'm supportive of it um i just understand what we're going to get here as an end product so it's not actually going to recommend it'll identify where there's risk and vulnerability as the title suggests um our new acronym kava here um but it will not actually recommend projects is that correct um it will not recommend designs for projects it will recommend a list of prioritized projects to seek funding for further analysis and again potential climate hardening or other adaptation so this is the first step to decide um where where the areas of highest risk are and what the risk specifically might be to specific kinds of assets and on what timeline okay yeah one wouldn't go so far as to you know suggest any engineering or design right okay um and then in terms of a priority list how would it rank that i mean is it going to be in terms of daily trips on the facility i mean for example we all talk about the rail corridor a lot um but i was surprised to learn during these recent storms how many people use bear creek road every day i mean i think it's in the order of over 10 000 maybe even 15 000 people a day it's a major artery in the county um but for people traveling from the vat from san lorenzo valley to silicon valley um i mean so are we going to look at this in terms of daily active trips for prioritization or is there going to be also some factor as well you know there's so many risks to this facility that will cost an exponential amount of money to try to maintain it into the future and so even though it has a lot of trips will i mean we don't recommend prioritizing the project i mean how can you give me um is any can you actually page back to the there's a slide with the list of the possible metrics and um average daily traffic is one of them but we've got a list that's one of the things that we will be coming up with with the consultant and the team as the first milestone um we'll be developing the framework and a component of the framework is the consequence metrics and prioritization metrics so uh daily use is one of them other things would be evacuation routes transit routes um one way in and out that have active transportation along it um does it allow access to vulnerable communities or um key um you know medical facilities or schools um there's going to be a lot of things that go into what what makes that priority list okay thank you yes i just wanted to follow up to a little bit about what you said yourself um chair conag was um by doing these studies we put ourselves in position for additional funding oftentimes the big funding grants will be looking to see that we did this first um before they even determine whether or not you're eligible for for funding so that's why we we do these things and i'm glad we also got clarification on uh commissioner johnson's questions that there is going to be a significant stakeholder um outreach um and um opportunities for input those are all very important components um that the state and federal funding agencies that will be providing the big bucks are going to look to see that we already did that we're not just applying blindly for individual projects i would um add to executive director's comment that we actually use a caltrans sustainable planning grant for this and then the next cycle of grants there was a new climate adaptation and vulnerability assessment funding pot for plans just like what we're doing um so i anticipate that this at the very least will be a requirement for future climate adaptation funding um and that we are ahead of ahead of the game because we're doing it on our own first before um everybody else in the state commissioner johnson thank you chair so um with respect to stakeholders you know we heard earlier that in the center of the valley there was a meeting where where the public attended got to share some of its uh concerns or what have you but i would also we awards were given to people who in my mind they're kind of in intermediaries but they're the stakeholders sometimes with the most information that's that's kind of my point as well so engaging them in a meaningful way and maybe even expanding it to schools you know they're affected you know how are they affected and what can we do for them and a ride from the public works and so forth so i guess we're all on board on the same on the same page here i just wanted to make sure that those um uh people were were engaged with so thank you thank you commissioner johnson or to know other comments from commissioners we'll take it out to the public anyone here in chambers was to comment on this item seeing none is there anyone online we do not have anybody online all right and i'll return it to the commission for action move the staff recommendation second motion from commissioner shifrin second by commissioner rodkin any further discussion seeing none all those in favor all right hi any opposed any abstentions motion passes unanimously thank you thank you all right and seeing as we do not have a closed session today that brings us to the conclusion of our meeting thank you everyone meeting adjourned

Today we have a special guest, Pei Yun. I'm very very excited to have her because she went through the same challenges as majority of my audience who has limited time to land a job or people going through a very competitive market during recessions or someone who has recently laid off really needs to get job as soon as possible or someone like immigrant like us who is on like work visa. We need a job ASAP because the work visa only had limited time for you to land a job before you get kicked out of the country. Things are getting very like crazy nowadays. But Pei Yun had made it happen so very excited to have her to join us share her advice with all of you guys. Hi Pei Yun, how are you? Hi Nancy, very happy to be here. Awesome, awesome. Thank you for joining us. Great. So can you quickly introduce yourself? Where are you from? Where you live? Like quick introduction. All right, so hello everyone. My name is Pei Yun. I originally come from China but now I based in Germany. In terms of my experience, I would say I've doubled in several different fields. I've been in project management, sales, product in a mix of internships and professional experience. I've also successfully transitioned from a supply chain industry to a completely different industry which is a renewable energy. So currently I'm working in my dream company as a product manager in the largest solar panel inverter in Germany. This is beautiful. Okay, so Pei Yun, let's do this.  What's the job market look like in Germany right now? Yes, I think job market in Germany is definitely like it's like keep like getting very tight tightened up and the job is like very competitive to get and the people are worried about the recession. So it's like generally very stressful like if you are looking for a new job and you are definitely gonna compete with many people. I see, cool. So now tell us your story, where you get started and what are your challenges, many your PM job and also how do you conquer those challenges. I want to hear the whole story because you have like crazy like magical story. So please tell us what's going on. Yeah, so basically for my situations, so by the end of last year, I sort of like decided to quit my previous job because of I let you try a different industry. And I sort of like had my eyes on product management for so long and I also like learn about two things about how the things being done. So I decided that I want to quit my job and go for the job hunting. But by the time I wasn't super aware that it's going to be that competitive, but I went through like hard job hunting process like two months. It definitely had a lot of challenges. I see. And now you already lend a job offer, right?  So you start job hunting in January, that's when you quit your original job. You change industry and you didn't know was very competitive, but you quit your job. And you only have like three months to lend your next job in Germany. This sounds crazy. How exactly you made it happen? Yes, Nancy, that's very, very true. This is a very stressful situation because the first I know I'm under super like a time pressure to look for a job within the limited time. Second, I feeling that the market is very competitive. So by the time of the second month of my job hunting in February, I applied for hundreds of jobs. I only got a few interviews. And by the end of the February, I only had like two like, you know, the interviews left. And I still haven't got like, you know, offer yet. So I know that this is something that I really like rethink my process. How should I do better? Because I know I only have like two or three months to get a job. On top of everything, I also feel like mentally, like emotionally, not very well because of what the rejection because of the time pressure. So that was the point that I really think like deep, deep side down, like what can I do to really get myself out of this? Yeah, actually, what you said very resonate to me. When I look for my very first job during the 2008 recession, it was crazy as well. I literally heard myself just thinking about, oh, I'm not having offers and walking on street and trip myself. And then the next day, I went to an interview on crutches because the day before I heard myself just like out of nowhere, just because thinking about how stressful the situation is and an impact. The performance of the interview because I heard myself, but later on, I still learned a job offer through the interview when I went to interview on crutches. But I understand how you felt. It's like not having offers is a fact. But how you perceive the situation on the high stress, not having offers is actually impacting people's day to day life outside of the job hunting journey as well. This is, I think this common mental health issues lots of people are facing right now. But thank you for being vulnerable and share with us. And now, so let's do this.   So what did you change? What exactly happened? Yeah, so that was a very challenging point because what I've already left is not really like a matching with my expectations. I'm still thinking about what you got, you know, my dream job, you know. So then I first, so what I've done is two things like first, not working. The second is to repackage your experience to really understand what is your perfect match so you can be more strategically go on the job hunting. I see. And you also mentioned that you also changed your industry. And now can you share us specifically how you use networking strategies to start to give you more opportunities. So I assume in the past, you only apply for jobs online, just do massive application online. Am I right? Yes, yes, yes, I will say that is what like most people including me that I do. So originally, especially in the first month of my job hunting that I apply online, like hundreds of jobs, but after like, like, you know, few rejections and the trials that I find is simply applying online, doesn't work because of the market is very competitive. And because of the recording process, it's likely to be longer because of the recession. So if you really want to, you know, get a response or answers, you know, quick, you need to utilize to network with the people within, for example, within the company that you want to join. And then you start to change the networking strategies. Can you use a real life example? How exactly use a networking strategy actually to lend a job given at the time you only have like less than a month left. So tell us how exactly you did it. Yeah, yeah. So that all starts with first, I deep dive in my experience. So I kind of like know what is my targeted company, what is my target position. So I go for those, for example, I go out the linking, I look for companies and I found a specific company that is really matches with my expectations. And then I go through like their job photos and I see there are a lot of like openings. So from also from my experience, that is a good sign because if the company is keep hiring, which means they are financially sound. So that also important factor I need to consider. Awesome. That's very smart. Yeah. Thank you. So for this specific company that I found I'm really interesting about the open roles, but I don't want to like go through the recruiting process because that would take like much longer than I thought and my situation couldn't allow that. So what I specifically did is I go through the people page of this company. And I literally will go through all the product managers, you know, people because I want to connect with them to, you know, to hear about their like job advice, because there are a lot of like open roles. And I just simply want to learn like how does it really like, you know, working for this company. And another thing is I also want to understand if it's possible to get a referral to the hiring manager for the role I'm interested. So I usually I reach out, I send over the friend request to several people. And luckily there's one person responding to me. And later on it turns out she was the hiring manager for the role that I'm interested. So that's how I'm able to connect with her in the first place. And all the things starts from there. Awesome. And you mentioned that your interview whole interview process only takes like two weeks, right? After you talk to the hiring manager. Yes. This is this is very fast. Okay. So did she do you still need to talk to recruiters once you connect with the hiring manager? And how they make the process so quickly within two weeks before your work visa expires? Oh, yes. Yeah, that was a very good second, like a two weeks, I wouldn't say. So actually, we had like three rounds of interviews. The first two rounds are just really kind of like official interviews, checking my skills, HR owning show up in the last round just to confer some legal questions. But by the time that I feel quite positive because of the previous interviews, I had a good positive feedback. So that's how you land a job offer within two weeks. That was in your month three, right before your visa is about to expire. Congratulations. This is a crazy, very inspiring story. And you also mentioned that you change industry. So tell us more, how does the industry shift actually help you or benefit you through the job hunting process? Is it difficult to change industry during very competitive industry? Yes, that's very true that I changed from a small dollar to a larger companies and in different industries. But what I can to realize is product management is so it's a very universal profession that is basically kind of adapt to all the industries. I see. So that's why in your interview, you basically highlight those transferable skills to into a new industry instead of talking about what is differences between small startup and complete different industry, right? Yeah, yeah. Awesome. Yes. And now let's pay me congratulations. That's how you actually made it happen in a very short amount of time. Very stressful. Tell us in the entire process, as you begin to keep on getting rejected and change your job hunting strategy, eventually land a job quickly before your visa expired, what's the most important shift that actually pushed you to the next level? Yeah, that is a very good question. I had a lot of thoughts into that. I think the turning point for me after like all the rejection and stress going on, that I'm able to really like a super focus on my strategy is because I really changed my mindset how I perceive this profession. By that I mean, I start practicing and thinking like a product manager, which can come into different parts until thinking like for that manager, how you would like position a product, how you can do like go to market strategy, what does it mean to be customer centric? So all of that is all about the responsibility of a product manager. But just because I'm able to think like that, that really helps me to strategically prepare for my interviews and rethink my experience in the product related perspectives. This is great. Cool. And now in terms of you change how you think as a product manager, I do, I do believe this one the greatest advice for everybody, especially we are going through very competitive space. I suggest everybody really behave and learn how to be a product manager compared with hey, let me just say fake and tell you make it, let me pass the interview. The differences between knowing how to do the job can very easy be told during an interview. If you don't know how exactly to sing like product manager, and it's very hard for you to pass the interview as well. I'm glad you shipped it. And then actually, I believe that's one of the reasons you learned the job was in two weeks. Now the interview just landed. That's amazing. Awesome. Now, Pey, let me ask you this question. What advice would you give to other people who want to start their product management career? Yeah, so I would say if you are studying in this field, the first step is to, for me, is to repackage my positive experience. I would say Dr. Nessie's product accelerator program really helps me to rethink my experience in a product related way. Secondly, is to be able to connecting with like many people in a community to really implement the learning from the product management. And that really helps if you could find to find projects or start your own portfolios. So you can actually execute a long issue learned as actually done in the PMA program. This is great. So let's talk about product portfolio for people who doesn't know what is product portfolio and should watch this video right here and learn about how to use product portfolio with different kind of free tools about product portfolio. You guys should definitely study and learn it. Paying actually inside of inside program actually we have many many like 20 different kind of product portfolios and actually yours is one of the best I've ever seen. This is like this is amazing and I believe that helps you immensely to like lend your next job. So did you show your portfolio to the hiring manager during the interview? Yes, definitely. Even from the first meetings we got to like talk about my portfolio. It's not only because my positive experience is very relatable to the road itself, but because I'm able to start the project to build my my product from scratch. From that way you can demonstrate your very strong experience in the product management. This is beautiful. This is amazing. Congrats. Congrats. Thank you. Thank you for sharing all of us. This is so exciting. Okay. Hey guys, go to the link in the description. We have different kind of free product portfolio tools and also project you can start working on and you definitely need to use this advanced strategy to learn your next job fast. Awesome. So thank you for sharing with us Pei Yun and congratulations and also good luck in your new job. This is very very exciting. Absolutely and thank you for having me and I'm glad to be all of help. Awesome. Okay, great. Cool. All right. Hey guys, if you found this extremely useful, please make sure to hit the like button. Share this video with any aspiring product managers, especially we really need to use those amazing free advice so that everybody is able to lend their next job faster and destruct in a city from P.M. Accelerator.io. I'm gonna see you next time. See you guys. Bye.


The information guide, it's a gem, it really helps get a better understanding of what the firefighter does, the volunteer firefighter does and it also helps I think ease the mind really of family members or even that member who may be coming in. My name is Josh, I'm the Brigade Community Coordinator here at John City Fire Brigade. So I joined three years ago and one of the main reasons was to further my leadership a little bit more but also as most volunteers would say being quite community minded was one of the other reasons why I joined for the community. I was very proud of him, as a 17 year old coming in when I joined the Fire Brigade I was very proud of him but then I was also apprehensive because of what he has to do as a firefighter too so I was always a bit worried when he goes to calls and things like that so yeah. It was like a really good guide especially for someone who was a bit newer at the time. I think it was really good especially for my family when I was reading it just to let them really have a better understanding of what I do and how we do it. So the Information for Families Guide is a resource that's been designed for new members to provide information to their families about CFA and what volunteering with CFA means. So it includes topics such as wellbeing, turnout times, the training that they go through, different types of membership and the idea is that it allows families to understand more about CFA and hopefully increase the retention of our volunteers. I thought it was good because I could have a more of an understanding of what Josh actually did when he went out there and also the training that was involved before we actually went out and done the firefighting things so I knew he wasn't going to go out and do these things that he wasn't trained for which was a sort of ease in your mind when you get to call out because we've been laying there some nights and it was 2 or 3 o'clock, Josh is up and he's out the door. You always have a laying bed awake and wondering but then it sort of put your mind of he's a bit lonely, he's going out and doing what he's trained to do so it's good, really good. It gives you the point too where for me as a father, for him to come home after an incident, just the things for me to watch out for too in Josh. Because it's got to do with something that people are distressing that might see in the role so it's a good thing for me to watch out and see how he's travelling.


What's up guys Michael here with jaspies, and we are going to be doing a 2020 2021 upper deck ultimate collection hockey One box break random team. This is going to be a filler for five spots in the random number blocks for the cup Two box break so the top five at the end of this break will get spots Random number blocks for the cup break, but anyway, thank you to everybody who got into this filler got all the names in the List got all the teams in the list and obviously there is no there's no Seattle Seattle cracking in this year So only 31 teams So it's really dice and start randomizing three into two. That's five times one two three four and five See five times there got Kevin Down to Rob Pop those in my list here and again five times for the teams one two three four and five Five times We've got Winnipeg down to the Blackhawks All right, and Get these Get my list looking nice All right, so we got Kevin with the Jets Jason with the Kings Raymond with the flames Matt with the Oilers Thomas with last Bob Marjo and the Sharks Luis With the Sabres James with the Maple Leafs Matt with the Canucks Jason with the lightning Robert with the cap capitals Jason W with the Hurricanes Jason P with the Rangers Steven Or Steve with the Coyotes James the Knights Jason P with the Predators Rob with the blue jackets Thomas with the Devils and blues Robert with the Senators Rob with the Ducks John with the Canadians Steve with the Avalanche Jason with the Penguins Rob with the Islanders Mark with the Flyers Rob with the Stars Steve with the wings Jason with the Panthers Thomas with the Wild and Bruins and Rob with the Blackhawks So let's alphabetize and Yeah print and Rip, I believe it's just one card in this box and Then We will be able to do the randomizer See who gets spots in the full break Dan's be for MVP What's up, Oliver? Let's switch the camera here There we go. It's a quick break here See if I remember this week. Oh, it's a pack. Is it just one card? Get some filler action. I thought this was something else. I'm sorry Jake Gwent sell for the penguins He or trash This is true lost me So a little bit of money There we go at a 1 49 for Jason and the penguins like scarred up It's like an auto Victor Olafson, I don't know. I have no idea if I'm saying that right, but Trying that's for the sabers Where are the sabers Buffalo same Louise ultimate rookies autographed nice Next card up Wow Jonas Johansson Autograph debut threads out of 99 with an absolutely beautiful patch there that is That's going to the sabers as well That's going to Louise What what a sick filler break for him and I think this is the last card. Yeah Wow The sabers taken down almost the whole break That's Dylan Kozen's ultimate rookie little patch there out of 4 49 Nice also for Louise Yeah, that's that's that now we just got a randomized So Randomize the names again actually so to see who gets the random number block spots switch it Got Rob Okay, got all the names in there and just as a reminder five Five spots are being given away so five through one on this last randomizer are going to get it Let's roll the dice of four and a five nine times. Let's do it one two three four five six seven eight and nine nine times. All right Thank you to everybody who got into this filler Sorry to everyone who didn't get a spot Robert that's tough. Let's see who did James with the spot Steve with the spot Jason P with the spot Steve with another spot and Raymond with another spot Yeah, so that's that let's take these names Throw them into here and Yeah That that just about does it for this break, so thank you to everybody who got in thank you for watching and Next we'll do the random number block. We'll give everybody a random number and then we'll be the cup So thanks guys, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye

sugarcane bagasse, espi, and straw, SS, are two potential sources of lignocellulosic biomass for the production of second generation, 2G ethanol. The main challenge faced by researchers is the development of robust pretreatment processes and efficient conversion of pentose and hexose sugars into ethanol. Pretreatment techniques such as steam explosion, dilute acid, alkaline peroxide, and enzymatic treatments have been used to improve the digestibility of espi and SS, and enzymatic hydrolysis has also been employed to convert the release sugars into ethanol. Additionally, detoxification methods such as ion exchange chromatography and adsorption have been used to remove inhibitors present in the hydrolysate. Finally, yeast strains capable of efficiently fermenting pentose and hexose sugars have been identified.

The concept of vitamins was first described by none other than Dr. Funk. In his landmark paper in 1912, the concept that there were complex compounds that our body couldn't make from scratch and so had to get from our diet. By the mid-20th century, all of the vitamins had been discovered and isolated, but it wasn't until the 60s that we realized that certain fats were essential, too. In 1929, the necessity for fat was definitively settled in the diet of the rat. But when one of the researchers tried a 99% fat-free diet on himself for six months, ironically, he felt better. His high blood pressure went away, he felt more energetic, his migraines disappeared. This one-man experiment fortified the medical profession's doubt that essential fatty acids had any relevance to human nutrition, until TPN was developed in the 1960s. Total parenteral nutrition, meaning feeding someone exclusively through an IV, initially developed for babies born without working intestines. But the first preparations were fat-free, because we didn't think humans needed fat. And so they rapidly induced severe essential fatty acid deficiencies, ultimately convincing the medical community that some fats are indeed essential. They started out using safflower oil, but as they discovered in a young girl they were giving it to after an abdominal gunshot wound, we don't just need fat, but specific fats like omega-3s. And so when they switched to soybean oil, instead she was restored to normal. The fact that it took so long and under such extreme circumstances to demonstrate the essential nature of omega-3s illustrates how hard it is to develop overt omega-3 deficiency. Of course, the amount required to avoid deficiency is not necessarily the optimal amount for health. A spoonful of orange juice worth of vitamin C would be enough to avoid scurvy the overt vitamin C deficiency disease, but no one considers that enough vitamin C for optimal health. What would optimal omega-3 status look like? Well, doubt has been cast on the role in heart health, which appears to be based on a faulty premise in the first place, and so taking extra omega-3s for our heart might not make any sense, but what about for our baby's brain? Extra DHA may not help pregnant or breastfeeding fish eaters, but those who want to avoid the contaminants in fish can take supplements of pollutant-free algae oil to get the best of both worlds for their babies. But what about adults? No apparent psychological or neurological benefit of DHA supplementation for the general public, but what about in those who don't eat fish? Take the famous alpha-omega trial. Thousands of people randomized for over three years to get either long-chain omega-3s from fish, short-chain omega-3s from plants or placebo, and they found no significant benefits for any kind of omega-3 supplementation on global cognitive decline, but most were eating fish, already getting preformed DHA in their diet, and so general population studies like this that found no benefit can't fully inform us about the role of DHA in brain health any more than giving half of these people oranges, finding no difference in scurvy rates, zero in both groups, and concluding that vitamin C plays no role in scurvy. In 2013, for the first time, DHA supplementation was found to improve memory and reaction time among young adults who rarely ate fish. Previous randomized controlled trials failed to find such a benefit among like 18 to 45 year olds, but they all only lasted a few months at most, whereas the 2013 study lasted six months. So if all the studies either showed no effect or a positive effect, one might give it a try, but in one of those shorter trials, DHA supplementation didn't just fail to show benefit, it appeared to make things worse. After 50 days, those who consumed the DHA had worse memory than those taking the placebo. So out of the six randomized controlled trials, four showed nothing, one showed a benefit, one showed a harm. So if it was just about boosting brain function in the short term, I'd err on the side of caution and spend my money elsewhere. But what about preserving brain function over the long run?


Hello, I'm Stefan Grabber. I work on containers. I'm the LXC project leader and that's where I work from. So the room we're in here is my small home office. The machine over there is my main desktop machine. It's a pretty simple really compact i5 that's hidden somewhere below the desk with two pretty big displays attached to it. Got a desk phone here for those conference calls. Don't have to go through occasionally. My phone there and when I'm not working from home, I usually work on that thing here, which is my laptop. On the other table here, I've got a printer and another desk when I need to book up some other machine. At the window you can see snowy winter in Canada. And that's pretty much all I've got in my office up here. That's because everything else, all the usually noisy stuff, I've decided to just store downstairs in the basement instead. So in the corner there I've got another workstation, small netbook and in the shelf I've got a bunch of phones. The first one here is used for Alexia on Android development and testing and the last one here is an Ubuntu phone, which also makes use of Alexi containers to run Android in background and then I've got a Nokia N9 over there. I've got some more storage for that workstation here and then the rest of the stuff is sitting in here, which is my small rack.  Then I've got some PDU down there, which lets me power cycle and control everything in the rack. I've got VIP equipment and up here is my main arm development board, quad core machine that I use for Alexi testing, Alexi builds and producing container images. That's my modem and in front of the rack we can see the router, which is the first machine up here. Then my main server with a ton of storage. I've got 48 terabytes in there. It's a pretty nice machine. It can take a ton of RAM. It's got six cores, Zeon CPUs. I use it to run all kinds of VMs and anything else that requires a ton of power and below it is my UPS, which makes sure that everything else in this house can run for about an hour and a half when there's a power cut. Everything else that I've got tends to just be stored in boxes in the shelf over there. So only unpack and plug those things when I actually need them. So there it is. I can access everything remotely, power cycle or control everything where I am. So that's pretty nice when traveling to conferences or other work meetings and well, that's about it.


In recent years, there has been a shift towards using alphabetic data instead of real-valued data in statistical inference. This shift is motivated by the development of data science, which has led to increased use of alphabetic data in many applications. However, statistical inference based on alphabetic data is less well understood than traditional statistical inference based on real-valued data. This paper introduces some basic concepts related to entropy-based statistical inference, such as entropic sample spaces, entropic distributions, entropic statistics, and entropic moments. It also discusses how these concepts can be used to develop a sound framework for rigorously developing entropy-based statistical exercises. This article is authored by Xi Jinping.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we shall study the concept of coordinate plane, ordered pairs, sign of numbers in ordered pairs, their location in coordinate plane and its reflection across one or both axes. First of all, let us discuss the meaning of ordered pair. Now let us consider a relation y is equal to x plus 1. Now where if we put any value of x, then we will get the corresponding value of y. That is, where x is the input, y is the output. Now for x is equal to 0, we get y is equal to, now in this equation we will put x is equal to 0. So we will get y is equal to 0 plus 1 which is equal to 1. Now we take any other value of x, that is for x is equal to 1, we get y is equal to 1 plus 1, that is 2. Now for x is equal to 2, we get y is equal to 2 plus 1, that is put y will be written input, that is y, that is the ordered pair x, y which means we can write values in terms of pairs, the pair put output. Now here input is 0, output is 1. So these values are written as the pair 0, 1 and here it will be the pair 1, x and y, they will have the pair 2. So these points, that is all these points, where the input is the x coordinate is the y coordinate. So we can write as the pair A, B is an ordered pair corresponds to the x coordinate B corresponds to the y coordinate. Now let us discuss the concept of coordinate plane and other pair and we know that every other pair corresponds to the x coordinate corresponds to the y coordinate, these points, that is we can locate these ordered pairs on a graph paper by forming a coordinate plane. Now in a coordinate plane, that is x axis, now for locating the x coordinate, that is A on the x axis, we have to form a coordinate plane on a graph. Now for locating the coordinate plane on the graph, in the first step, we will draw a horizontal line with the sign of arrows on both ends on the graph paper. So here we have drawn a horizontal line with the sign of arrows on both ends on a graph paper, we label this line as, now we will draw a vertical line with the sign of arrows on both ends intersecting the horizontal line perpendicularly in this vertical line with the origin here at this point. The origin, the x and y coordinates are 0, that is the x coordinate is also 0 and y coordinate is also 0 at the origin. Now on both the x and y axis, we will write the integers at a distance of 1 unit on the graph just like a number line. So we have written the integers on both the x and y axis and on the x axis we will write the negative integers on the left of 0 and the positive integers on the right of 0, that is the origin. On the y axis we will write the negative numbers below 0 and the positive numbers above 0 at the same distance here. The distance between the points should be equal. This is the required coordinate plane in which we have both the x and y axis which are intersecting each other at the origin and here you can also see from the graph that the two axis divide the coordinate plane in four regions the coordinates. Here this is called the second quadrant. So we can write that a horizontal number line and a vertical number line per region which are called. Now let us discuss of numbers in ordered pairs. The y coordinates are positive negative for example 1. Now we have enriched x coordinate is negative whereas the y coordinate is positive. For example the ordered pair minus 2, now next is the type 4 that is the ordered pair in which both i coordinates are negative for example ordered pair minus ordered pairs in which the y coordinate is 0 and the other coordinate can be positive or negative. For example the ordered pair 2 0 0 minus. Now let us locate these points on the coordinate plane. Now for locating these points on the coordinate plane we will consider the coordinate plane which we have made previously. Now here in the coordinate plane we have four quadrants. Now we can locate the ordered pairs according to the signs of the numbers in the given ordered pair. Now we can see in the graph that in the quadrant 1 both x and the y coordinates are positive and in the quadrant 2 the x coordinate is negative whereas the y coordinate is positive. In the third coordinate is negative and here the y coordinate is also negative. In the last quadrant make a table for these ordered pairs. Now in this table in the first column we have written the ordered pairs we will find that in which of the quadrants these ordered pairs will line the point which is represented by the ordered pair 2, 3 on the graph. Now for the ordered pair 2 and y coordinate is 3 both of the x and y coordinates are positive. In the first quadrant 2 and 3 which is 9 in the first quadrant lies in the first quadrant. Now let us take the ordered pair 2 minus 1. Now in this case the x coordinate is 2 which is positive and y coordinate is minus 1 which is negative. I in the fourth quadrant the x coordinate is positive and y coordinate is negative. So the ordered pair 2 minus 1 lies in the fourth quadrant. Now let us take the next ordered pair which is minus 2 1. Now here the x coordinate is minus 2 which is negative and y coordinate is 1 which is positive. Now we know that in the second quadrant we had negative and y coordinate positive. So the ordered pair 1 lies in the second quadrant. Take the ordered pair minus 2 minus 3. Now here you can see that the x coordinate is minus 2 which is negative and the y coordinate is minus 3 which is again negative. Now we know that in the third quadrant both x and y coordinates are negative. So the ordered pair minus 2 minus 3 lies in the third quadrant. So the point minus 2 minus 3 lies in the third quadrant. Now the point where the x coordinate is 0 that is the ordered pairs like 0 minus 4 lies the y axis. The y coordinate is 0. For example the ordered pair 2 0 lies these two points on the graph. Now in the ordered pair 2 0 the x from the origin we will move to the right on the x axis and we will reach to this point. The y coordinate is 0 so we will not move and down any units whose coordinates are 2 0 and you can see this point is 0. So this point lies on the x axis. See this is the point whose coordinates are 0 minus 4. The x coordinate of the human point is 0 so this point lies on the y axis. Now let us discuss the reflection of a point across one or both axis. In reflection of the point the image of the point is from the central line or also known as the middle line. Now here is about which we will find the reflection of the point. Now let us take a point A whose coordinates are 2 3 on the graph. So our coordinates both are positive as this point is lying in the first quadrant. Now suppose we take the middle line for the point point A that is A dash will lie in the fourth quadrant since the distance of reflection is same from the central line therefore the numbers will be same only that sign will change according to the quadrant in which the reflection lies. Now here the distance of A from the central line that is x axis and the distance of A there which is the reflection of from the x axis of A are 2 3 and its reflection with the central line as x whose coordinates are 2 minus 3. This reflection of the point A whose coordinates are 2 3 by taking y axis as the central line its reflection point will lie in the second quadrant that is we will obtain a point B whose coordinates are minus 2 3. Therefore the point B is the reflection of the point A across the y axis. We have learnt about the concept of coordinate plane, ordered pairs, sign of numbers in ordered pairs, their location in coordinate plane and its reflection across one or both axis. So this completes our session. We hope you all have enjoyed the session.
