Good morning, my name is Kannan Margalia, I am from IIT Bombay, I am the coordinator of the project teaching learning center ICT funded by the funded Madan Mohan Malviya national mission on teachers and teaching. I welcome you all to this workshop, along with me is professor Prabhu Ramachandra, who is one of the driving forces behind the FASI project, he also leads the python effort for the country. So, this is what I mentioned funded Madan Mohan Malviya national mission on teachers and teaching is happy to bring this workshop to all of you. And special thanks are to NME ICT, which is the national mission on education through ICT and initiative of MHRD. The first entity here is T10KT or trained 10000 teachers, all the 187 remote centers, where you are all attending this workshop, where established under T10KT by professor Fatak. And then I already mentioned about FASI, free and open source software for education, spoken tutorial, you will use spoken tutorial today, I will say few more words after that. We are connecting with you through the software AVU created by Amrita University with a large amount of funding from coming from NME ICT. This is the schedule for the workshop, today's workshop, our program will be till about 10.30, then we will have a break and then you will learn python using spoken tutorials. At 12.30 for about half an hour, we will meet again for a brief interaction, then 1 to 2 is the lunch time, then you will continue to learn python using spoken tutorials with a coffee break thrown in, finally we will meet again at 5 o'clock for final interaction and also any questions you might have. In this, we will mainly talk about how this workshop will be conducted, why python, this is the work I had asked you to do, we sent these slides yesterday, listen to this 8 minute video on python, I hope most of you would have listened to it, we have said that watching these videos, well actually there are more videos that are coming later, is a prerequisite for this workshop. So, we actually have professor Prabhu Ramachandran with us, he is the one who delivered this 8 minute video, he has promised to condense the same thing and explain the same thing in about few minutes, less than 5 minutes, I am going to hand over the mic to professor Prabhu Ramachandran. Good morning everyone, so thank you for joining us today, I will try to keep this brief, I am really happy to be doing this workshop, thanks to the effort and initiative of Professor Kandan and the funded Madan Mohan Malia project national mission that we have. So, what I will try to do now is quickly summarize the video that I have shared with you earlier, I would like to do a quick poll first to find out how many of you have actually watched this video. So, can you please answer the poll that is available and let us know if you have actually seen this video or not, so there is a poll that is live now, the question is have you seen the video that has been circulated on python, you need to answer yes or no, I just like to get some sense of how many people have seen this, alright, so thank you so much for answering this poll, so most of you seem to have seen this video, so I would not bore you with the same thing again, what I will do is I will quickly summarize what we have discussed in that video. So, the first thing I would like to mention is that this whole initiative has essentially been funded through the FOSI project, all the material the content that was generated was through the FOSI project which is funded by MHRD and the goal of this project is to essentially increase the use of FOSI in education and to minimize the use of commercial software in education. So, this is an extremely important initiative and we are grateful to the government for supporting this, so getting on to python itself if you recall I had mentioned these specific points in the video. So, the issue that we have is it is not always that we just need to do simple numeric and symbolic computing with any kind of toolkit, so it is not enough if you have a system like say MATLAB or some other commercial tool, we also need to do exploration and visualization, very often we need to do high performance computing, we also sometimes need to do parallel computing, we may need to build user interfaces or build a website and nowadays you can see there is a huge amount of effort that is spent in trying to do data analysis as well as machine learning. In addition to these there are other tasks, sometimes routine system administration task, automation task upon needs to do when you are using python, so all of these need to be done by a scientist or an engineer especially when you are using a computer and so what we are trying to say is python is a very good choice for doing this, the reason is it is easy to lead and learn, it has a powerful interactive interpreter which allows you to do interactive visualization and exploration, it is scalable and general purpose, so it is not just a specific language that is designed for say engineering computation, it is a general purpose language which means it is also high level and modular which means you can with a few lines of code you can actually do a lot of things, it is also modular which means you can compose it with nice small well written pieces of code and it also supports in terms of computer science, it supports procedural object oriented and functional approaches and it does not force any of these down your throat, so it is a very powerful encouraging language that allows you to do a lot of things. In addition to this it also has extensive libraries and this is probably one of the biggest reasons why python is popular today, all of this facilitates rapid application development and more importantly it is cross platform which means it runs on all common operating systems and it is completely open source which means there are no licensing restrictions. So what we are trying to say is that there are many diverse needs and there is this one language python that if you learn you are able to accomplish all of these things and that is the reason we are trying to teach you python, so what I will quickly do is show you a small demonstration of a tool called Jupyter Notebooks which are very popular but it is come out of again the python community although Jupyter Notebooks can be used from other programming languages as well, this is a screenshot of a Jupyter Notebook which essentially is a web based interface, in fact my entire presentation is also made on a Jupyter Notebook and what you can do is you can mix mathematics, text, code and the output of that code in the same notebook and you can share it online which is a very important thing for scientists especially in this age of data analysis. So what I am going to do is actually show you a Jupyter Notebook with a simple demo where I am going to record some sound and immediately plot the spectrogram. So I just have some few imports, many of these imports you are already going to see during these spoken tutorials, in fact there is only one import here that you are not going to be familiar with but that is all right. So I am going to run that, so now you can see that in my live presentation I am able to run this code and now I am going to quickly record something, so maybe I am going to record for about 2 seconds, so maybe shall I request you to say something, hello. Good morning Python participants, this is the first step to artificial intelligence. So it only recorded 2 seconds, so it only did 2 seconds but what I am going to do now is I am going to plot a spectrogram immediately of this actual raw data and so it looks a little small here but you can see that I have interactively looked at the sound that was a Kandan generated and then actually it is plotted as spectrogram, I think I can also play back what was recorded, so it was just good morning, because the Kandan's good morning was recorded. So the idea what I wanted to show you is it is an extremely powerful rich interactive environment that demonstrates to you a lot of power and functionality that is available at your fingertips and that is the reason why we feel Python is so important. Now I will just wrap up with a few overall comments, again leading to our own workshop series. One of the important things that we have seen in this day and age is that there is a lot of data and we all need to do data analysis. In the Python world there are many useful data analysis libraries and some of these you will actually learn during this workshop but not all of them. In particular you will be learning about NumPy, Matplotlib, a little bit about SciPy maybe but there is also other powerful libraries like Pandas, Jupyter and if you want to do statistical work there is a package called stats model that lets you do simple statistical models, generalized linear models and if you want to do Bayesian analysis there is actually an extremely powerful tool called PyMC3 or PyMC4 which essentially allows you to do Bayesian analysis with Python and it is extremely easy to use and it is extremely powerful. So these are a sampling of some of the data analysis libraries that are available in the Python universe and our hope is that once you do this workshop you will actually be able to either self-teach or there will be subsequent workshops that will kind of try to teach some of these things for participants who successfully finish this workshop. In addition as you all are aware there is a lot of buzz about machine learning and many of the top most popular machine learning libraries are actually Python libraries or at least have extremely strong Python interfaces. For example you must have all heard of scikit-learn or Google's TensorFlow or Keras or say PyTorch. All of these are machine learning libraries that are available that can be used directly with Python. So this is one reason again why Python is so important because it is actually relevant today. So in this workshop what we will do is we will introduce you to basic Python getting started with Python and Ipython and then we will show you how to use NumPy and Matplotlib which are at some level the basic backbone for all of the work that you will ever do with Python. So if there is any data analysis, any machine learning it is always ending up with say NumPy arrays or using Matplotlib or some advanced plotting libraries but we will focus on the gold standard which is Matplotlib which has been around for many, many years. And we will do this by you self-learning with spoken tutorial and this has two important reasons. The first is the material is recorded with high quality as in the content has been created in a fashion that makes it easy to understand. The second thing is it also gives you confidence that you can learn this material by yourself. So if there is good material that is made available to you you are in a position to teach yourself along with some help from us of course. And we will continue to do these things as we go forward. We will provide you some support during the workshop online. There is also a forum support and I think Professor Condon will talk about this in greater detail. We will also have some time for Q&A so you can ask your questions to us either on the forum or live in person and then we will try our best to answer those questions. In addition to this there is also other free learning material that Fossey makes available. The first is self-learning with spoken tutorials that is available that you are going to be using through this course. There are also some remote workshops we conduct for Python through Fossey and there is also an online self-learning course that is also available. But what is important is we also have additional material and if you do well in this workshop we will be covering later intermediate aspects and more advanced Python as well using the same kind of mechanism perhaps with slightly more interactivity for those participants who do successfully in this program. So we would like you to please pay attention and make sure you complete this successfully. We will have a test that examines how well you have understood this material using which we will accept you for the next round of training. So if you have more questions you can always contact us and I will hand it back to Professor Condon. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you soon. Hello again. How will this workshop be conducted? As Professor Prabhu already mentioned using spoken tutorial and video conference, video conference based interaction through A-View through 187 remote centers. Is this workshop method effective? Nobody is going to teach. You may want to listen to this TED talk that I gave on spoken tutorial. We had sent this slide earlier. It may not have much relevance now. It is supposed to have been done before the workshop. What is important in this is that you have to register here so that you can ask questions on the spoken tutorial forum. And I had also asked you to listen to a brief part of this video which explains how to use the forum. I hope that most of you would have gone through this video. It is just less than 2 minutes. We would request you to post your questions whenever you have a problem. Supposing you say that you have a question in plotting at 3 minutes, 22 seconds. So then you will say that you will choose Python as the topic, then plotting as the title of the video, then you will say that it is between 3 and 4 minutes, then 20 and 30 seconds and then you will ask your question. If somebody has already asked the question, you would also see the answer. We want to thank you for paying rupees 500. From the industry participants, we are collecting 1000 rupees. As I mentioned already, a large number of people are attending this. Actually 512 participants, mostly faculty members and we are very happy that many school teachers, lecturers, heads of departments, deans, vice principals and so on are attending this workshop. This is happening in 24 states and union territories in 187 remote centers. We had also asked you to bring a pair of, excuse me, we also asked you to bring a pair of earphones because without them the workshop will not be effective. All of you will have to listen to videos and practice and if you have 30 laptops making this sound, then it will be very noisy. So, we would request all of you to use the earphone and listen to the tutorials through your earphone. You will use the side by side learning method. On half the screen, you will open the video, in this case the spoken tutorial. On the other side, you will open Python, whether it is iPython notebook or Jupyter, whatever it is, you will have access to Python here and then whatever the video says, you have to reproduce here. This is what you have to do. Remember, in this method, you should not maximize because maximize means this alone will take up the whole space. If you have difficulty asking somebody how to change the screen size, window size so that you can make it about half the size. Your neighbor will be able to help you with that in case you have difficulty in doing this. And I had also asked you to go through this five minutes of this video which explains the side by side learning method. The reason for doing this side by side method is that it reduces the cognitive overload. For example, of course, you can always keep two full screens and you can keep switching, but psychologists believe that that increases the cognitive overload. That is why we are recommending the side by side method. Your remote center will provide computers for the workshop. They are already ready with this. If you have brought your laptop, of course, you can use them. How many tutorials to learn from? If you are a beginner, practice the first 21 tutorials. If you know more, I am sure there are many experts amongst you. So, they can learn all the videos. And if there are people who say that, hey, I have practiced all of these, what do I do? Please help others by answering questions on the forum and also answering the doubts that your colleagues in the remote center may have. There are also some people who may not be able to complete all 21 tutorials. Do not worry about it. You can copy all the tutorials into your pen drive and learn at your convenience. The test that Professor Prabhu pointed out would happen from amongst the tutorials. The exact portion will be announced later and there will be enough time for you to learn all of them, even if you cannot complete all of them today. What are the takeaways from the workshop? In this workshop, we are not going to teach anything. You are going to learn everything from spoken tutorials. Because we are not teaching, but you will learn the same method can be adopted by you in your colleges and schools for your colleagues and also students. So, if you have any questions, please ask our eOutreach team or call this number. Thank you for joining. I would also like to introduce our team, any of the team members outside. Can you just show the, give the mic, let them say few words what they are doing. And I am from the spoken tutorial content creation team. Good morning all. I am Usha. I am from the Fawzi team. Good morning everyone. My name is Mahendra Parmar and I am from the workshop team. So, I just want to make one announcement. We have opened the on the spot registration. Just in case if you have a setting capacity and participants who have not registered come to your center, please allow them to do the online registration. And the participants should make sure that they pay the course fee online. That's it from my side and request registered. If you have made the payment online and your registration status has not changed, please do not worry. Please share the transaction details with us. We'll take care of it from our end. Thanks. Good morning. My name is Sajandik Sita and I am from the studio team. Good morning. I'm Vinita and I'm from the Fawzi team. Hello everyone. My name is Tushar. Thank you team. I hope the participants would have heard of some of our team members. Some of them would have sent emails to you, phoned you or answered your phone calls and so on. So, what we will do now is we will spend about maybe 15 to 20 minutes to answer your questions. Not on Python. I don't want you to ask questions on can Python be used in engineering, can be used in schools and so on and so forth. Please do not ask those questions. Those questions can be reserved for either 1230 session or at five o'clock session. I want you to ask questions regarding the conduct of the workshop. If you have something not clear, how is this workshop conducted? If you think, look, I don't know how I can learn this material. I'm sitting in, let's say, Jarsagoda and then I want to learn and you call it IIT Bombay workshop, but I don't see any IIT Bombay people here. Or how can I, what do I do if I get stuck? What if nobody can answer my question? Things like that. Please do ask those questions now, so that we understand exactly how to conduct the workshop, how to learn from this workshop, so that nobody has a problem. We can all get started. The moment you do that, you can ask your questions through the forum and so on. So, we'll come to that. So, if there are any questions from remote centers, we'll be happy to answer. Good morning, sir. Good morning. We are from RC1400, women's primary college, Pondicherry. Yeah, please go ahead. This is related. You just posted the PDF, sir. In that PDF, you have mentioned a video, how to post the questions in these spoken material forums. If you could just give the option of downloading these PDFs so that it would be easy for us to give it to the participants so that they can watch that video, how to post the questions in the forum, sir. All the participants have registered in the spoken tutorial, but we have the issues how to post the questions in the forum. You have just mentioned a five minutes video. So, just make this PDF to be downloadable format so that we can just use that link for the participants to post the questions, sir. This is from our side, sir. Okay, thank you. It's a good question because it allows me to explain something that I forgot to explain. To ask questions on the forum or to see the questions being answered live, you need the internet connection. You need the internet connection, but thankfully you can use the 4G in your phone itself to ask questions. We don't recommend 4G for listening to the videos. Videos have been given to you, but to ask questions on the forum. Okay, let me just show you where the forum is in case, yeah, just connect. So, you have to go to spoken-tutorial.org and then you have a link called forums. Now, if you want to just see questions, previous questions answered, it's all here. For example, if you select Python, you will have all the questions of Python coming here. A large number of questions have been already asked and answered. If you want to ask a question on, let's say, this, multiple plots, if you click here, then you will see all the questions asked on multiple plots. There is only one question that has been asked. So, as a result, let me go back. So, for example, loading, loading data from files, if you ask this, then all the questions that were already asked and answered will appear in chronological fashion. For example, this happens at first minute, then second minute, this happens at third minute, and so on. So, you can actually go and see this, what is the question and what was answered and things like that. So, in order to do this, you need internet. In order to access this, you need internet. To watch it, you do not need to log in. Notice that I have not logged in, but if you want to ask a question, then it will ask for login. This is to prevent the spam that we have created. You have to log in and then it will allow you to ask questions. That is the reason why we said register in our website, spoken editorial website and ask questions. Let's go to the next. If there are any other questions, we will go there. Yeah, Prist University, Tanjavur. Everybody here, sir? We can hear you. Please go ahead. Okay. Actually, we have 35 slots are there. Only 25 people are there. Some of them have registered and some of them have not paid and some of them did not come. Some they want to join now. What can you do about it? Can you please suggest us? So, as Mahendra just announced, core registered but didn't show up. We can't do anything. We cannot go to their house and bring them here. But on the other hand, if somebody new has come, please allow them to register. Please allow them to register online. Ask them to start learning. Maybe during the break, they can register online and please permit them. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Yana Mani College, Namakar. So, we'll go to another center. Hello. Yeah. Hello. Good morning, sir. Good morning. Anand. Mrath. Sir, I'm I'm Rudan Mehta from Dharamsi Desai University in Nadiyaad and I am attending this workshop at BVM College right now in Vidyanagar. I have two questions to ask. Yeah, please go ahead. Hello. Yeah. First question is regarding conducting this workshop at our institution for our faculty members. Whether it is possible to conduct this workshop again at our institution with remote interaction with you? Is it possible? So, this remote setting of remote interaction and doing this takes a lot of effort. We will repeat it after a few months. It's not possible for us to do this every now and then. But we welcome you to become a remote center. Okay. Of ours. Okay. And we are already remote center. So, you could have organized it in your remote center now. We sent invitations to all the remote centers to come on board and we are thankful to all the people who could join and for those people who could not join, please join next time we announce this. Python seems to be very popular. We might do it again after a few months. At the time we will request you to join. Okay. Thank you sir. Second question is regarding the content. Recently I have attended one IBM seminar on AI and machine learning and what I found from them is that they are offering one some courses on AI machine learning and where they are saying that the specific skill set is required for industry which they think that academia academic people are not providing. So, if we teach this course to our students through spoken tutorial Python, whether it is meeting the industry standard or it is sufficient for industry, I want to give I want some comment from you on this. Good question. The plan we have is the course that you are talking about done by IBM or over it is typically we will have a very small number of participants, maybe 25 people, maybe 30 people, things like that. Here what we want to do is to prepare a large part of our population. For example, I mentioned that 5000 teachers are attending this workshop. Now, if each teacher can influence 100 students, we are talking about 5 lakh students being benefited by something like this. So, Python is the first step. Python is a tool using which you can do lots of calculations. You still need the logic, you know what is meant by machine learning AI and things like that. The way we plan to address that issue is to conduct another workshop on AI machine learning. That will be a live workshop once again through the same method T10KT approach. People who are doing well in this course, who will do well in this course? For example, Professor Prabhu mentioned that for people who do well in this course, there will be advanced Python workshops. So, we will conduct a test. Only people who do well in those tests will be invited to attend those workshops and the same people will be invited also to attend a workshop on AI machine learning. That will also be a one-day thing. That will also be, of course, an introductory workshop. You cannot teach all complex issues of AI machine learning in one day, but it will be reasonably good introduction and whoever does well in that course also will find themselves to be lot better suited to attend advanced workshops, whether it is going to be conducted by IBM for computer professionals or let us say General Motors for automobile experts or some communication engineers and so on and so forth. How does one bring or even education? How does one bring in AI in these areas? What we are saying is we will provide good grounding to a large number of people using our method and empowering them in that manner, empowering them, empowering all of you to go to the next level if you prefer, because the point is it is not clear who is interested. A person who scores high mark in your class may not be the most brilliant person. There may be somebody who is scoring only 50, 60 percent marks in your class, but who is extremely motivated let us say in AI, extremely motivated in Python or in R. We are going to conduct a workshop on R also, which can also be used for machine learning AI. So, the idea is to throw this net wide open and make it available to lots of people and empower them and encourage them to prove themselves that they are really interested in doing something and giving them an opportunity to come up. Thank you. Thank you sir. IPS Academy Indore, if there are school teachers, I would like to hear from them also. Good morning sir. I am Poonam Sharma from IPS Eastern Campus. I just have a simple question that what are the what are the special features of Python that making it so popular? So, we will answer this later, because this is something that if you had seen Professor Prabhu Ramachandran's video, he already answered, he already gave a demo. Now, the interaction is mainly to talk about how to conduct the workshop. So, if you have any other question or if there are school teachers in your, so there is somebody behind you who wants to ask a question, please pass the mic. Hello. Please go ahead. Hello. Sir, can you hear me? Yeah. Sir, Nitin Multane, this site, I am especially a computer teacher for grade 9 to 12 students of school. And ma'am, one of the main question is that we are teaching like integrating Python in the CBC curriculum nowadays, but why we are not focusing on some other new technologies which are coming in the field of IT? Yeah. Good question. So, let us first do Python, because Python is the easiest language to learn. It does not have, you do not have to worry about typing variables, storage allocation, and it reinforces discipline. It is very easy to express with a few number of lines. Maybe this answers some of the previous question also. So, that is why Python is very popular. So, let us first implement that, learn that, then we can think about what other technology to implement. So, I am also happy that you have come from school. You want to say something to the school teachers? Yeah. So, just as a, to build on what was said, as you already faced your learning Python for and teaching Python to your students, what we are planning to do is for the 11th and 12th syllabus, we are trying to put together some sort of a course that covers all of the essential topics that you would need in terms of Python knowledge. Obviously, we are not going to stick to the way you may perhaps teach it. The idea is to give you the essential knowledge that you need to know with Python in order to be able to teach that content to your own students, and we are trying to do this soon. So, that may be in a few months time, we will be able to offer a course that is specifically targeted to school teachers, so that you are able to teach this new Python to a lot of students. And we can answer your Python specific queries, as Professor Kanan said, either at 12.30 or at 5 o'clock, I will be happy to answer any of your Python general questions. Hello. Yeah. Hello. Solapur. Yeah. Good morning, sir. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning, sir. Please go ahead. We can hear you very well. Sir, good morning. It is a great pleasure that once again IIT has organized such a good workshop on Python. Sir, can we have in a day at least some demonstration on machine learning libraries? At least. That will happen later. Excuse me. That is going to happen. Maybe next is going to be a workshop in R in this series. Of course, some more advanced Python workshops. And then we are going to do a workshop on AI machine learning. There we will attend to that. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Go to the next one. So, maybe we can have some Nancy here. You want to give a demo of any of those? Okay. So, because we have a large number of people who are going through this P 10 K T mode first time, I know for sure that most of the school teachers are going through this the first time. We thought it will be useful actually to give a few minutes of demonstration of both side by side method and using the forum. So, I am going to request the head of the Spokane tutorial content team, Mrs. Nancy Werkey to take over. After she finishes, we can break for coffee tea. And then we will see you again at 12.30. Thank you. So, forward to Nancy.


Dear students, in this topic, we shall discuss the control mechanisms of digestive secretions. The regulation of security, rate and quantity of the digestive secretions happens by the involuntary neural and hormonal controls, the presence of food and the cognition are thought processes. We shall discuss these three types of controls in detail one by one. First, we are going to discuss the involuntary neural and hormonal controls. These controls control all the security activities of glands. For example, slivery secretions are very rapid. They are entirely under involuntary neural control. Gastic secretions are under hormonal as well as neural control. The intestinal secretions are quite slower. They are primarily under hormonal control. Here we can see that general principles of neural and hormonal controls are applicable to digestive secretions. That is, neural control predominates in rapid responses while endocrine mechanisms are involved in slow responses. Now, we shall discuss the role of presence of food on digestive secretions. For digestive juices secretion, the primary stimulus is the presence of food. In the part of gastrointestinal tract, the part of food that is present there, the secretions become more and the part of food that is not present is less. This is because the food molecules stimulate the chemo-sensory nerve endings which act on the autonomic efferents which activate or inhibit motility and exocrine secretions. Food molecules, except for acting directly, activate epithelial endocrine cells. As a result, gastrointestinal hormones are secreted. These gastrointestinal hormones coordinate the secretive organs with the need for digestion. These secretive organs, liver and pancreas, are also affected by cognition and thought processes. Mental images of food are also affected by cognition and thought processes. Mental images of food or learned behaviors stimulate digestive secretions.


Hello everyone, welcome to another video. So I've woken up this morning with another privacy complaint And this is actually pretty ridiculous this one. It was for the gippy the goat Video that I made last night. They're saying that I've breached their privacy by putting up their name and photo and stuff I guess but this was all Made available publicly like seven news did a huge article on them This article here and I showed this photo with their names on them here in this article I'll leave the article linked down below now that there's many articles made about these two about this so all I was doing was reporting the news and Now they've they've tried to you know Silenced me with a privacy breach, which I think is absolutely ridiculous I mean the things that I exposed in that video though were quite horrific. So Again if you want to see what's in that video before you know They try to get it taken down if YouTube take the video down Based on this based on me reporting on a news article, then that is getting that's getting ridiculous You might not like what I've got to say but hey that footage was all taken at your farm And you know you've got public articles here, you know with your full name picture your business That wasn't me that was seven news. That's me reporting on it. So YouTube like what's going on? Why am I getting privacy complaints and they haven't taken down the video yet? And I doubt they will does anyone know anything about privacy complaints? This is the second one. I've got the last one I got was from the phone call that I had with the producer That one hasn't been seen to yet. This one's a little bit more clear-cut for me I was just reporting on a news article. Come on So if anyone knows whether or not like this is actually a legitimate privacy complaint Have I breached their privacy that there's multiple? Articles that I was just reviewing in this video check out the video though and you might see why they probably don't want it up But what do you guys think about this? You know, I'm in the battles at the moment I really am I really am in the battles, but these people don't want to be exposed. Do they they don't want to be exposed They don't want these activists to have justification for, you know, quote-unquote harassing them What about these animals that are being abused? Now another thing I thought was very interesting is that someone messaged Gippy the goat with the link to my video And they claimed that the footage in my video wasn't from their farm. Oh, really? That's interesting The news are leaving out key parts of this so the public are in outrage But if the public knew what was happening to the animals in their farms The public would be in outrage. So what do you think about this guys people these people don't want me to make videos like they're Filing false privacy complaints when I'm all I'm doing is reporting on news articles Absolutely crazy. All right, guys, I'll be uploading some more content soon. Stay tuned. Thanks for your support Gippy goat cafe.

As of May 2017, of the roughly 17 million Nigerians who are economically active, only 14 million or 20% paid any federal or state taxes at all. I'm pleased to know that the number is now in excess of 19 million and still growing. Tax compliance and good governance should exist side by side as the head and tail of the social contract that binds or should bind citizens and governments anywhere in the world. The government of President Buhari is working to change the state of affairs. We are determined to restore the full weight of the social contract between the citizens and the government. We are also taking seriously measures to curtail tax evasion by multinational companies. When citizens pay their full share of taxes, they take more than a passing interest in how they are governed and how public funds are utilized and accounted for.


Good morning everyone. I'm John Palfrey and on behalf of the steering committee of the Digital Public Library of America thank you all for being here and most important thank you to Doran and Peter and Lisbeth the founding sponsors of the Digital Public Library that was an announcement of five million dollars for the next 18 months or so If you didn't gather that that was a pretty important thing that this group has just done There are many things that are exciting about this effort mostly I think the extraordinary Gathering of people from so many walks of life and places this morning gathered around the idea that attracts us But I think one central concept is important to note There's a lot of talk in Washington and elsewhere about public-private partnerships But it seems to me this is the embodiment of a really good one right here We just heard about five million dollars on top of a previous million dollars in private capital being contributed to an ad hoc group of all of us We are the DP LA to work together in a way that we haven't before And that joins not just us as citizens of the United States and elsewhere Importantly international partners as we'll hear later today But also our federal government which has I think in unprecedented ways stepped up and said yes We want to participate in this slightly crazy thing too And as the chair of the steering committee I can say that I have been blown away by the extent to which our federal agencies and frankly state and local government agencies to have held up their hands to say let's Work together on this from Carla Hayden in Baltimore and Peggy Redd at the state level in Texas Amazing realm of people on our steering committee to the three people. We are about to hear from now in this report from Washington I think I may have bought enough time for lavalier microphones to be on them So I'm gonna go down the line and we'll hear in this report from Washington from three great friends In some ways three of the best friends of the digital public Library of America effort First Deanna Markham the Associate Librarian of Congress and we've heard reference already to the Library of Congress Which of course has a central role to play in these efforts for many years They've been a leader in the digitization of our nation's cultural and scientific heritage I believe 28 million objects have already been digitized by the Library of Congress as an important centerpiece in I think what we have to work with but more important is the human capital that Deanna Markham herself and her team have brought to this effort Deanna, we love you deeply and are so grateful for all you've done and look forward to hearing from you this morning Yes, it is. Is Lynn Brinley in the room? I have to check to see if Lynn Brinley is in the room before I tell you the Library of Congress is the largest most comprehensive library in the world with There's some Some debate about that But I'll say in in America. How's that? In the collection of the Library of Congress there are 148 million items we have digitized 28 million of those and I liked Peter's comment so much about moving from boutique to the Walmart model because I think What this initiative allows is even though we've digitized a lot of material It isn't enough to be The kind of digital resource that we all believe is important for the country. So we see this as an opportunity to expand and Enhance the work. We've already done I'm I'm filling in today for James Billington the Librarian of Congress and if he were here I think he would want you to know a little bit more about What we've done already and then we can talk together about how we can Leverage what we've done to to meet these needs The the mission of the Library of Congress is to support Congress and fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people It's not unlike the NEH mission. It's not unlike the mission. You'll hear about here The the point is what we are concerned about is making these resources that have been amassed at a great institution by Tax dollars from American citizens and we want to make that as available as possible So that is what brings us to the table The digital public library of America because it it appears to be the kind of opportunity that will help us Fulfill our mission in a very important way So Let me just go into a little detail about what we have done We have a long history of building digital collections It began when in 1987 Dr. Billington was appointed librarian of Congress. He went on a tour of the country and he held Town hall meetings for lack of a better word in ten locations throughout the country and He asked what do you want from the Library of Congress? He met with teachers librarians of faculty in universities and Pretty much the answer was uniformly the same We want your content and we want it where we are not where you are And he took that to heart and he came back to the Library of Congress with the notion that What we must do is make our content more widely accessible Well, the internet hadn't been invented by Al Gore or anyone else yet so We looked to CD-ROM technology to get content out and we began digitizing collections in the very early 1990s and We focused on materials that would be useful to the K to 12 Community because we thought that's where the greatest need was So We were sending CD-ROMs to schools and to libraries and then we went we went back to those we had 44 Pilot institutions and we went back to all of them to find out how they were using the content so we could understand better What else we should try to digitize? What was amazing to everyone involved is that and we thought this would be most useful to high school students In fact all the way down to third grade students were making Incredibly innovative uses of this digital content and we saw that of even with this clunky CD-ROM method Students were beginning to ask important questions about their history And about the world so we Committed to making more and more of our primary source materials available to schools and libraries around the country in 1995 Congress Talked with the Library of Congress about this digitization effort and said If you will raise private money We'll put up some money And there was a Three-to-one match three three part private one part Congress But that really allowed us to expand enormously our digitization efforts Thank you. Yeah, Dave. Thank you. We realized that We had special collections that were held nowhere else in the country we had Manuscripts and music and maps and films and all kinds of things So we began to focus on digitizing those special Collections materials rather than books We were visited by Google when The when Google began to digitize collections We decided that our our focus would be on special formats And we did a little bit of experimenting with Google but in the end we stayed with our primary focus But more recently we've we've begun to think far more broadly about What from our collections should be readily accessible to the American people and We were so pleased when the Sloan Foundation agreed to fund a digitization project that would allow us to identify Public domain books in our general collections and make those available through our website as well And we were funded for two years by the Sloan Foundation, and we've been able to continue The books digitization effort With our own funds, but we are systematically going through our American history Local history and genealogy collections and putting those online as well So before I lose my voice, I will stop by saying We think that the resources that are represented in the federal agencies is A wonderful foundation for the digital public library of America We Excuse me We are so anxious to make our collections available and We we've worked with the National Archives with the Smithsonian. We've worked closely with IMLS We very much look forward to working with Everyone who has contributions to make to this important effort. Thank you Thank you so much and thank you to dr. Billington in absentia for your leadership and for your offers of support and in fact Your actual support on this effort. We will see later this afternoon a treat which is Examples from the beta sprint. There are going to be six large-scale presentations and then three lightning round presentations one of them is entitled digital collaboration for America's national collections which joins the Library of Congress the Smithsonian the National Archives I understand that it's not always the case the threes these three agencies All right coming to the National Archivist It is now so anyway, we're very grateful for that and for all that you've done and all that you will do I have no doubt. Thank you. Our second report from Washington is from another great friend of the DPLA Susan Hildreth Susan has a long background Directing important iconic libraries in the United States has been a champion through this project of all manner of public libraries Including a small special and rural libraries and many respects helped us to identify Dwight McEnville our newest member of the steering committee from the Georgetown County Library in South Carolina And Susan is currently as everyone knows. I think the director of the IMLS which is in many respects Yet another piece of the amazing foundation that supports museums and libraries and the digitization effort and Susan You've been an amazing participant and thank you for being here and we look forward to your report as well Well, thank you John. Good morning everyone, you know, I think in this Rarified audience possibly everybody here may know what IMLS is but just to make sure I'm gonna review just a little bit about what we do We're the Institute of Museum and Library Services And we are a federal agency an executive agency that is primarily responsible for grant making So we distribute the federal dollars for libraries and museums in the United States But as as time has moved on we're a fairly young agency. We were only established in the late 1990s we've taken on some other roles particularly data collection evaluation Policy development and really leadership in the field. So When you think about the role we play with our federal partners library of Congress archives, Smithsonian They have great content IMLS does not have content But we have great access to our nation's museums and libraries and we provide a wonderful Distribution network to the on ramp to our digital library highway if you will So we're really excited to be part of this Adventure which we're all on so again, I'd like to thank the Berkman Center for Internet and Society our wonderful funders the Sloan Foundation as well as Arcadia, and we're very happy to be here today I think some of the key issues we're discussing today And in the future, what should this DPL a B and I think we're we've made great progress We'll continue to do so who really can Participate how can you participate? How will be it? How will it be sustained as a public resource? But From the IMLS point of view and from all the work many of us have done I have another question for us to think about today And that is which products of the previous 20 years of work Can we use in constructing a digital public library of America and what still needs to be created now? This is a key interest for IMLS. I'll explain that we've made a number of investments in digitization all around our nation and We do have some federal resources Diminishing as they may be we want to use them very strategically and we really are very interested in how DPL a is moving forward so we can make strategic investments to support the digitization Efforts that we need to move forward. I think as you've heard a little bit today from Deanna I'll just mention that early in the 1990s federal agencies including the Library of Congress and the National Science Foundation began strongly and visibly supporting digitization and digital library research development and demonstration projects and We know that in the years that followed other federal state and private funders joined in supporting these efforts and in the mid 1990s the newly created IMLS joined the effort with our first digitization project grant awards in 1998 and in the year since our agency's range of digital library investments has has expanded dramatically Some of the things we've been doing include hundreds of digitization projects ranging from the more specialized and focused content to mass digitization of library and archives collections and a great partnership with the University of Illinois to aggregate metadata So users can more easily discover these collections. You'll see that in one of the clear beta sprint project this afternoon We have been building projects We've been funding projects building tools that enhance how people create use manage and preserve digital content We have supported the advance of digital libraries such as the ongoing Multi-partner project managed at the University of Michigan documenting title by title copyright status of more than 500,000 books published in the US 1923 to 63 we have supported collaborations at all levels with a wide variety of partners and particularly of note the statewide digitization projects that are now existence in more than 40 states We've applied we've developed applied research ranging from the examination of the online Information-seeking behavior of teens to investigations of the best methods for preserving instructional video games We are also committed to training a High-class quality workforce who can become our digital Navigators of the 21st century and as you all know I think our library schools are they're doing a great job in moving us forward need some additional assistance in developing 21st century digitally Competent librarians and that's a key role for IMLS We also are providing support for national conversations Important to the future of digital libraries a good example is an upcoming meeting of invited experts and leaders to help map out a Blueprint for the public libraries role in the emerging emerging digital public library of America We're going to be holding that in Los Angeles in mid-November at the Los Angeles public library. Thanks to the work and the collaboration of Martin Gomez City Librarian so These ongoing and early investments by IMLS and other sponsors both public and private have advanced digital library practice in ways That might not have been possible without such coordinated and sustained support So here we are what is our next step? I think we're at a critical point of moving forward in this world And what kinds of new organizations do we need to provide the services that have been provided previously? I think we want to recognize that we have a lot of information available for our designers and builders of Dpla to develop their efforts on we have developed a critical mass of born digital and retrospectively digitized collections already We have many elements of existing digital library infrastructure. We have developed systems and tools Models standards best practices and policies and I think fortunately we have organizations many of whom are here today who are willing to build maintain and Monitor and support these digital collections But one other resource that we have that's available to all of us to help jumpstart the Dpla is that we have the record And I'm sure the archives has much of this of journals conference proceedings planning documents reports of 20 years Of a national and international discussion on what digital libraries should be who can participate and how they can be sustained Those same questions that are facing us today and just from the I am a less point of view where we have invested in a rather Disaggregated effort all across the country and we would really like to have our efforts be sustainable And also available to be evaluated and have the impact on our users shown We just have a couple of lessons learned that we wanted to share with all of you first of all in digitization It's difficult to go it alone. Don't go it alone collaboration is key to long-term success And I can see all of us gathered here today are really Demonstrating that the traditional understanding of the relationship between information providers and consumers is changing and both can benefit From working together in new ways Digital libraries have clearly demonstrated their potential to reduce Administrative technical and other barriers to information access something that we're all being asked to do constantly particularly with limited resources But we still have a long way to go and seeing the fullest realization of their potential to transform How libraries archives and museums function who they serve how those individuals are served and ultimately how can they transform? individuals and community lives We also want to make sure that we Follow some of the key principles that we've been following at IMLS We try to make sure all our grantees follow interoption interoperability which is critical and preservation of digital information resources We had a great discussion about that yesterday and some of our grouping working groups about persistence And how if someone is involved in DP LA we must have the responsibility to take care of that data That's a huge concern of everyone here. We want to make sure we address rights for access and the use of content Make sure our programs and services are sustainable and find new ways to measure the impact to our public And I think another big question we're dealing with is this all sounds great But what is the difference going to be for a person who's going on the web and wants to find information? And I know we can find the answers to that question I'm very pleased to be here, and I'm particularly pleased because I hope that I am LS can be very strategic and supporting our efforts in the future I might briefly just try out two themes that you mentioned Susan one is one way in which I think the Entire DP LA project can be successful is not just if it brings support into a single Secretariat or it's kind of central force But in fact if it creates a platform that allows for better coordination of the funding that you and many others are doing Into libraries all across the country and other kinds of institutions that are a part of this and that if what we merely do is do more With what we are already doing and coordinate better. I think we will have succeeded in a part I think we can do much more than that, but I think that's a very important initial concept and second you mentioned the Excitement and the possibilities of having a new crowd of librarians who are coming up through library schools The archivist mentioned that our friends at Simmons in Boston have a room set aside where people right now are watching this being streamed to Simmons I think we should give them a special hello again But I can say that in since we've started this process the number of library students and the number of People in library schools have also raised their hand and said we want to participate. Let's figure this out It's very very encouraging and exciting and thank you for supporting that effort as well So the last report from Washington is from a man who truly does need no introduction particularly in this house But I'm gonna do it anyway. This is in David Ferriot the archivist the United States. We have an amazing leader who is now Leading this institution that we're in he comes from the New York Public Library where he was the Mellon director of the New York Public Libraries and Before that director of the MIT libraries and Duke This is someone who has been a friend in every possible way to the effort that I think is coming together and coalescing today It's extremely fitting that you are our host today, Mr. Ferriot, and thank you so much for all you've done And we're very much looking forward to your particular report from Washington as well Well before I start Susan have your records been scheduled. Yes So why do you why do you have 20 years sitting over there? Oh Okay, that's one to do the other is Brewster get your bank details to Peter and See we're making progress. This is great So how many of you for how many of you is this your first visit to this building? As I expected So I need to tell you who we are because we're the best kept secret in town The National Archives is the nation's record keeper That means we're responsible for all the records of the 275 federal agencies and the White House And we provide courtesy storage for all the records of Congress We opened our doors in 1935. It was FDR described this as his baby He was very much involved in the planning of the National Archives So it's amazing that what we have in terms of records before 1935 have survived exposed to fire theft flood all kinds of horrible horrible situations wonderful story of records being stored in the Garage at the White House during the Hayes administration in Rutherford B. Hayes himself outside on the lawn in a fire brigade Putting out the fire in the White House garage We have records that start with the Continental Congress The oaths of allegiance signed at Valley Forge all the way up to the tweets that are being created in the White House as we sit Here today, that's our mandate We have 44 facilities around the country from Anchorage, Alaska to Atlanta, Georgia and I love this debate between Library of Congress and British Library about size get over it We have 12 billion pages of textual records 40 million photographs 600 600,000 artifacts in the presidential libraries And the growing the largest growing collection, of course electronic content billions of electronic records right now in our custody the Presidential Records Act, which is one of the sets of laws that govern my work recognized electronic mail in 1996 so we started collecting email from the Reagan administration with eight million email messages from that administration 20 million from the Clinton administration and 210 million from the George W. Bush administration and As the president likes to tell me when I see him in Dallas not one of those is mine So our customers are researchers genealogists veterans the the general public Congress and the White House using our records all the time and I have a an ulterior motive my reason for being so passionate about the digital library is that I want Every stinking piece of this collection digitized. I want it available to the world 24 hours a day And as you heard from John, I've been in this business for a long time and I can still remember at Duke University faculty members coming to me complaining because their students were doing all their research online and I can remember discussions with my librarians about how are we going to get them to use the paper materials Get over it. What can we do to get that stuff digitized? How how can we facilitate the creation of it because I am convinced if it's not online It doesn't exist. So instead of fighting it. How can we make that happen? And that's why I'm so So interested in in this project So let me tell you a little bit about of that massive amount of material that we have We have done such a small fraction of of that content We have established commercial partnerships with Ancestry comm and family search and genealogists are are one of our biggest markets And we've done a very small percentage of passenger lists pension files civil war revolutionary war records to to get that material in people's hands, but the the Massive amount of material that we have to do has caused us to be rather creative in Ways of creating new kinds of opportunities. Some of you may have seen the citizen archivist program that Has been launched through the National Archives and your dashboard. Is it up? Okay, soon you'll see the dashboard giving opportunities for the people to get involved in helping us process our records We also are using them to help digitize our records. We have a civil war conservation Corps Upstairs in this very building working on these are retirees who are working not from the civil war Who are working on civil war records preparing them for digitization we've got something called doc's teach which is up now has about 5,000 of our primary sources that are loaded with lesson plans and a Facility for teachers to talk to each other a share lesson plans and and share uses of the material So we're trying in all different kinds of angles to make as much of our content Available as possible that as I said the reason I'm so interested in this But it's also I think I want to give you a concrete example of the power of this kind of digital collection I Was at the New York Public Library for five years When I was being interviewed I had to sign a nondisclosure statement So that Paula Claire the president could talk to me about the Google book project So I spent five years working with Google. We digitized about a million books public domain from the New York Public Library collection and I saw Slowly saw the power of Researchers having access to that broad body of information and how it has already transformed scholarship So I have a wonderful in-house story about Google books in December 2009 the president issued an executive order creating the National Declassification Center here at the National Archives Which gave me the mandate to review 400 million pages of classified content with the mandate to Release as much as possible only two criteria Weapons of mass destruction and national security could be used to keep them classified So it's a process that we have launched working with the agencies who have equities in the content And we've reviewed we've reviewed about over a million pages now and and have released Of those that have gone through the full analysis have released 91 percent to the open shelves So we're making great progress the oldest these in these records go back to World War one 1917 and in April I am so pleased that the CIA finally caved on the six oldest documents Six documents of they were German formulas for secret ink Which had been foyid forever people have been trying to get at these Leon Panetta before he left the CIA a big press conference announcing the fact that he's really he's releasing these documents What he didn't say is that he released them because my staff Used Google books and discovered that these formulas have been published in 1931 I That's what it's all about Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Another of the amazingly exciting things I think that lie ahead are the many different use cases and stories that we'll hear about I think of precisely that sort I think it's not at all surprising this room is filled not just with Librarians and those of us who are in the information business, but professional historians in professor Dernton and professor Baldwin and Professor snap and lots of people here who are historians and researchers who are here because I think there's a sense of opportunity Not just for democracy, but for specific projects and specific research that we simply can't do today But that we will be able to do before too long another auspicious sign. I think of this project is Speakers have kept to their time. So we actually have some time for some discussion in this report from Washington There are microphones on either side over here and some great friends from the Berkman Center who I'm sure will run them around if people don't want to go from the middle to the To come have a comment I would remind you that we are in an Augusta place And you are being recorded and this is no doubt going to be kept for history So I'd be grateful if you would keep the questions for our speakers And I neglected to say for those of you who haven't been here before you need to carve out some time to get up Into the rotunda to see the declaration the the constitution of the Bill of Rights The public vaults that surround the rotunda have samples of records from the archives And in the special gallery, there is a wonderful exhibit called what's cooking Uncle Sam and it's about the government's role in Telling you what to eat I can't help while people are hopefully thinking of their question of acknowledging my mother who's here today Judy Paul free I'm doing that I'm doing that because it relates to let's this food exhibit. She's in charge of the first ladies Let's move initiative great to get people to be Fitter both through activity and through their eating and so I noticed the obvious connection between the archives And actually I know I am a less is doing much on this issue as well So I'm hoping to drag her into the digital library's world Inviting her to the archives. All right. There must be a question by now I have no other relatives to announce in the audience Oh Please thank you and may I'd love to privilege Bob Darn if you would take us an X question You must have something that we could put the mic in front of you for Hi, yeah, I'm Miku from Drexel and In the presentations, we've heard a lot about accessibility and so on I just wondered if you would speak to the difference between accessibility and discover ability because I think there are different technical challenges with Putting stuff on mind versus been able to find stuff in the stuff once it's online It's terribly important, of course. I mean you're looking at three people who don't know how to do that The reason you are well, you may not Depends on how you define discover ability one of the things that Josh Greenberg not to point single him out taught me when When he came to the New York Public Library was We have a horrible history of building these digital libraries and then expecting people to find us So let's think about where are the people? And let's get our stuff out there So Convincing us to use YouTube and Flickr and those kinds of things to get our content into the eyes of people so that they can discover It's a huge problem for me here because our records are so massive and complex and the Thing that a new learning experience here is that kids today can't read cursive and all of my old records You know are in cursive so one of the wonderful things on the dashboard that you'll see is an opportunity for you to help us transcribe and Last week I transcribed my first document I think in your question when when you speak about accessibility you're talking about Making material available to be seen or identified, but I also think Accessibility is a much broader issue in terms of making the great content We have available to all kinds of individuals with accessibility challenges and those could be Visually impaired it could be language language challenges. So so accessibility. I think Universal accessibility is really important But I totally agree with you that if you have a lot of stuff out there and nobody can find it What is the use of it? So I think one of the things that I am LS is very interested in supporting is different strategies platforms approaches to effective discovery and I mean there are many other Entities in Washington and even privately that would be willing to support development of those kinds of platforms or strategies, but I mean that that is a very good example For me, you know better discovery tools of how I am LS could help use your federal dollars To support this initiative, but I would just like to echo I think we haven't talked all that much about accessibility here But I am assuming and I'll speak for the audience that I think it's a key priority that all of our information is Available in many different formats to many different individuals and there's another there's another aspect of this that This is a lesson. I learned at MIT that around serendipity and how do we make it possible for people to have that same Serendipity experience because that's where discoveries come from Bring a microphone, but professor Darden in the meantime if you would are I would like to hand the microphone back to you John I think all right, but there's someone I would like to pass it this way. Actually, thanks Thank you. I'm Nancy Gwen. I'm the director of the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, and I just wanted to Since the Smithsonian was mentioned as one of the three agencies who are trying to develop I just wanted to mention to the audience that we also are very interested in participating in the DP LA with our 137 million objects as we're talking numbers today This is a good kind of competition, right? How much they can contribute well, I have to follow that up by saying a hundred twenty four million of them are natural history specimens How many mosquitoes we want to have in the DP LA is a question you tell us But we also and I think you have seen in the press that Secretary Wayne club has said that he also Wants to share the Smithsonian's riches with the nation and the world in many ways and We already have six point four million digitized objects and are trying to go forward as fast as we can So we're in a kind of unique position to pull in Museum library and archives objects together and to help Figure out how that best can be done for the DP LA and and for the nation. So I I'm eager to continue to cooperate and work in this and Share our riches with all of you Thank you to secretary club who I knew would have been here today But for a board of trustees meeting of extraordinary conflict minor details We've had extraordinary support from your colleague also Martin who's chairing the technical aspects work stream So the Smithsonian has been very actively involved and we look forward to much more to come as we digitize those insects insects and other good things Who else this cannot be a quiet crowd it seems implausible My name is Lazy Ashby and I'm I have a question about your statement regarding the CIA documents that were disclosed My brother and I have had freaking conversations who works for Ray Theon and does rocket scientists work for military and he and I have had in many conversations about Reverse engineering and the dangers of that so in his field that and I was curious about You know the disclosure of you know the release of certain CIA documents And if there are any mechanisms in place to sort of monitor that To kind of avoid those sort of reverse Intelligence I guess in this case I don't want to give the impression that the archivist of the United States has the authority to release the authority given to me in that executive order is to get the agencies that hold the equities around the table to Review the content to ensure that it really is classified So it was the CIA who released it Not the National Archives So I just facilitated the process Okay, do you anticipate more I guess I don't want to use the word well We as I said we've done a million so far. There are 400 million in this body And it has to be done by December 31st, 2013 I should I should also tell you in this room We had two open forums for the public to come and advise us on which records are of most interest This is a you know just so we could get some citizen participation in helping us prioritize and I hosted both of those meetings and The room was evenly split in both cases the Kennedy assassination conspiracy UFOs All right, oh, yes, please let's actually Jordan can we go with John Mayer since he has not yet spoken and then you'll get next Actually, that's I was the Mike's coming across name Lynn Brinley Please tell the we know who you are, but please tell the world don't as you've Mentioned the British Library here. I am and I'm delighted to be here today And I'm not even going to get into arguments about size I mean there are disadvantages of scale, of course It's like turning a very big oil tanker in whatever direction you want to go and it's always too slow So for those of you who have small and agile institutions sometimes that can be a very major advantage First of all, I'm really delighted to be here and thank you Bob for inviting me Happen to coincide with a visit to the state. So I was really delighted to be able to stay on to be here today Like the Library of Congress, we're a library we say of the world and for the world So we share absolutely your aspiration to open up our great collections of all cultures in all languages to the world We've digitized a lot, but it's a drop in the ocean. I would say we've got quite a lot of boutiques They're mostly we've got shops within shops, but they're all disconnected. They're opportunistic In the most positive way, but nevertheless don't make a digital library And I think one of the real challenges is what is the difference between a digital library and And a wonderful But confusing and if you like random set of resources, and I think that's one of the challenges That you and we need to face I Think public-private partnerships have been mentioned. I think we in the UK because of our History are very much into public-private partnerships for these things But we do have and you will hear from Jill Cousins who I Sort of at the back there on Europeaner. We have got some coherence being brought in the European context Through the European Library, which will be a sort of aggregator of libraries of Europe research libraries And national libraries into the border cultural museum library and archive service, which is European Can I also mention metadata we have just Opened up all of our metadata on a CC zero license, which means It was a braver step than you perhaps might imagine In part because we have a particular government that requires me to earn money That's not always comfortable place to be so we said well We don't think that's quite right for this So we've opened up the 16 million of our metadata of our national bibliography to the world for any purpose And we have got hackathons and mashups and everything happening in the most extraordinary way So I suppose another lesson is You have no idea what this is going to be used for you can't plan for it And it will be infinitely more creative The wider this thing gets opened up So I think metadata is actually a key part or a key consideration of this I think also we've done a lot of work and we're beginning a long journey on what we Label it's the wrong label. I think but digital curators Modern curators modern library professionals. I think that's probably a challenge. We all share And people who are as comfortable with large data sets text mining data mining all of those things as with perhaps our traditional Services So I could give you many examples of what we've digitized as much more to go and We intend to go as fast as we can from a variety of sources It's often said that perhaps the UK is the bridgehead between North America and Mainland Europe I Would like to suggest that we're probably a good stopping off point And if there are opportunities perhaps in this program, we would be delighted to host something In London at the British Library As you take this journey forward. So we're part of the journey with you and we're delighted I'm delighted to be here with you today. Thank you. Thank you Team Lynn Brindley, we will take you up on that kind offer to host an event no doubt at your house as well I should note that one other thing you didn't brag about but should have in a way is Some of the research coming out of the British Library in terms of how young people use information is some of the best research I think that we have and one of the reasons I think you have that serendipity and those wonderful things as you've come to understand this concept of Generativity that if we make available these tools and metadata and content people will do young people and older People too amazing things with it. So thank you for that leadership as well Great, so I'm gonna go to John mayor and then Bob Darden and Storn and then we'll take a break My name is John mayor from the Center for Computer Assisted Legal Instruction. I want you to use your imagination, so it's 2016 and All of your collections have been digitized. I'm assuming this will only take five years, of course And I've heard an awful lot of excitement for that process and for the science and how we're going to do that and I'm excited to but What what does society get? How does society? Improve or change Once that's in place and it's happened. What's the what's the science fiction of of this of the DPLA? Well, I can speak for myself If we assume and I think most of us in this room do that People benefit from having Access to information resources. They can make better decisions for themselves. They can understand where they've come from and possibly a Better direction of where they're going. They can understand world cultures. They can understand The questions they have about you know any number of things I think what we've all been trying to do by collecting these resources It's making sure they are available to people who want to use them in any way they They want It's what we've always talked about in libraries for the whole My whole career we've talked about wanting to get these materials out to people We finally have a mechanism for doing that and I don't know that For me that it's any more than that just making it available most of the resources in our public institutions are there because Americans have paid for them and it seems only right to share them For me it's Creating a better informed citizenry the records here Should be used to hold our government accountable for their actions and for us to be able to understand our history that Statue outside past this prologue We should be learning from our history and The only way you can do that is to have access to the records and People don't have that kind of access right now. So I'm hoping that we create a more informed citizenry in this process Personally think It's an amazing opportunity as my colleagues have echoed I also think that if everything is digitized I think as a as a practicing public librarian the question comes to mind well What happens to our physical facility? Even if we may be aggregating and curating data for our customers. Do we still have do we still have a place? for people to gather and I think that by providing all that information and providing the Empowerment of that information to our citizens It will even create a greater need and a greater desire for people to work together as we've heard from the British library The stuff is out there all kinds of mash-ups are happening and people may be relating in the virtual world and in the physical world but but I think it's a very exciting and liberating future for our Communities and citizens. I think the other question. I have and this is kind of wearing another hat Is you know if we're going to have all this data out there? We must have connectivity to homes and libraries and schools strong connectivity. Thank you But we're going to really need it and and I think that the more we make this rich content available People will understand and and adopt because they want to be there, too They want to know what's happening along with everybody else, so I think it's a great hallmark for the future Thank you Susan last words going to go to Robert Darden I did want to acknowledge Jill Nishie and her colleague Nelson Cruz from the Gates Foundation Who were the ones just think there for a lot of the connectivity to Americans? Libraries think that was that is an amazing piece of this infrastructure of ideas I think that Chairman Leitch mentioned before Bob Darden last word Not at all the last word for this session until a break We've had a question session, but you may have noticed that a lot of it has taken the form of testimonials And it's wonderful to see the support expressed from the Smithsonian as well as from these three Institutions represented on stage and it's great that Dame Lynn Brindley has just invited us all to London We accept that thank you very much Graphic artists. I hope there's some great drawings that are coming up here on these parts The point I want to make though is that When we considered what we should name this thing one of the suggestions was a National digital library and it was rejected Because this is there's nothing nationalistic about this at all We may go from what Lynn Brindley calls the boutique phase to what Peter Baldwin calls the Walmart phase Getting bigger and so on but getting bigger means getting more International and that is certainly going to happen. I should say that Bruno Racine the Director of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Wanted to be here says I can't speak for him, but he says he is with us We have a Jill Cousins representing Europeana and the 27 countries that furnish this great European digital library It's an international effort. So these expressions of support from lots of different US Institutions as well as everyone scattered around the country, especially in public libraries in small towns What this represents? I think is a movement a movement that has nothing nationalistic about it But that goes back to the international Republic of letters that was dreamt of in the period of enlightenment So I hope that we're getting this feeling that we can actually make happen What was a utopian dream at the founding of this country? That sounds a little pious. I apologize, but I couldn't resist Thank you I hope you will join me first in thanking the panel but also thanking Professor Darden who I think also deserves an additional round of applause for His leadership intellectual and otherwise in this effort. We've had an amazing amazing group come together and will come together So thank you pan less. Thank you Professor Darden and all others


2014, I was still in campus and someone trusted me to be their main lead and I was actually playing like two different, like twins and that's a challenge. Kozlazima you channel different personalities for each person, right? So yeah, so the first time it was in 2014 it was a movie and yeah it was a nice, I did it with Makas Maena. It's called Consigned to Oblivion. I was interested in twins. How are you?  Yes, yes, it makes shooting easier. Why do you feel like, where is the next Bipolar Kidogo? Kidogo? Kidogo, yeah, you can actually, because you can lose yourself out of it because you channel different personalities. First of all, you have to forget yourself. You're not acting as faith.  So assuming the two characters are Helen and Catherine. So first of all, who is Helen? How does she think? How does she move? How does she talk? Catherine is different. How does she move, think, talk? It can be a challenge, but it's easy if you enjoy doing it, yeah.  You have played a role and then it's stuck even outside, even after you're done filming and everything. You still find yourself behaving like that role. So there's a thing called de-rolling. De-rolling, first of all there is getting into character. Getting into character is me faith, forgetting the town faith and becoming the character that I've been given. Let's assume again it's Helen. So I am Helen and I move. To de-roll is to change from Helen to faith. So it's important to know how to de-roll. You need to de-roll by doing things you like, like swimming, skating. You can decide to do hikes, play games, whatever, anything that breaks you out of it. So for me, I wouldn't say kudatim nime endel yada character after, but sometimes naji pata, why am I doing this? Why am I resoding like this? It's not like me. So you just collect yourself back and then you let it alive. You've done a couple of projects. Which one in the shape of a challenge, what should you live and get into character? Hadu na kachinu na sayak pwedeva, weh, tasa apa? Na india hadu into character. Has there been one that was extremely challenging? I wouldn't say for me it's still the twin thing because imagine it's your first time doing TV work. Like I had been acting but for theatre, for drama festivals, the high school, but this is different. It's on another level. Challenging. I would say I never, I didn't think it would be easy for me to play a role of being like a mother, which is what I play on a single kiasi. So being a mum is very, it can be a bit challenging considering I'm not yet one and you need to be one. So I would just channel my mum and be like, how would my mum think? How would my mum move and handle such a situation? But actually your role was well executed. I love single kiasi. Thank you. It's by Philippe. Philippe Brason? Oh it's Pesh. Philippe. Wakanya. It's Philippe. Typical. Get it right. Yes Philippe and Grace Kahaki. And Grace Kahaki. Yes. I love single kiasi. When studies season one have been following. At the end of the day, if any of you have subscribed, that was on showmax. Yes. Just to watch it up to the end. Squeeze it and assume one go on Twitter. Tag in Philip. Where was it? This season I could do it. So you can do it. Anyway, anyway. It is nice to see it. Inakuja. What? Another season. We are hoping for it. We are hoping for it. I play the same. Between us. Just between us. Yes. Okay. All right. Kariki, I don't know. What other projects have you worked on? Apart from the twin one and single kiasi? Well, I have done anti-boss. I did anti-boss. I was on Selina. Selina was popular. Yes. And the president was told to watch. Yes. I don't know if you watched. We need to confirm that. I think he did. There's no way he didn't. I think he did. We need to confirm. We need to talk to him kind of at one day. So I've done anti-boss that was on Maisha Majik. I did Selina. I've done movies. I've done a feature film that has a short film that has gone around the world. I've done it in Canada, Toronto International Film Festival. It's still doing its premiere in Browns. I hope it will come to Kenya. I recently did a movie called Kenyeji. I hope we'll be able to see it soon. I play a pregnant wife. Hey. Hey. She wants to direct a certain place. I don't know. It's interesting to play a pregnant woman. You know you have to change your working styles. You have to change your working styles. You have to change your working styles. I've done many things. I've done kutu. It was a film talking about young and pre-marital sex and young childhood pregnancies and stuff like that. It was last year. It premiered last year. And something else is also in the works right now. I'm happy about it. I'm happy about it. I'm happy about it. That's quite a portfolio. It's a portfolio of so many pages. For us, it's assurial. It's assurial. It's assurial. So what do you do for fun? Just to unwind and relax? I am an adrenaline junkie. So I will probably go for sometimes hikes. That's something nice. A simple hikes. I'm serious. I want to get you a coach. No, I can't. And I was a relate. I also love hiking. On my bucket list, I have a bungee jumping. I want to do that. I've been doing ziplining. I enjoy that one. Hikes. Camping. Now I actually learnt to skate, but with the four blades thing. I want to try the four one. The four. I need to see more jokes. Explain. He's an expert. He's an expert. For what? Skating. There's the one for one blade. And then there's the one that is four. I need kind of something. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. Actually, I do have mentioned things that I also love to do. So if you need a partner to nesongiakando. So. You are also a model. You actually call yourself an advertisement model. A commercial model. That's a commercial model. Yes. How do you approach brands? How many brands do you approach? It can work. Asking for a friend. It can work both ways. It can work both ways. Sometimes a brand will see something you're doing.  We understand what you're doing. And we are seeing like we can work together and head the same direction. Sometimes you have to be the one to approach them. Especially if you have a certain vision. Go for it. Go for it. Wasumue. Wadiyem. Mia emails. Watafte. LinkedIn. I don't know. You're on LinkedIn. I am on LinkedIn. Can you tell us your LinkedIn? I don't use it as much. I'm actually more on Instagram as Faith Kibati. Yeah, you'll find me on Instagram as Faith Kibati or TikTok as Miss Kibati. Yes. Nice. So last week we had asked a question. I'm going to ask you two questions. Okay. The one we had asked last week and one we have asked this week. All right. Last week we had asked, what are you most afraid of? I'm not sure. People will use it against me. Ah, is that why? Yes, I'm inspired. What am I most afraid of? Most afraid of. To live this world without a positive impact. She has answered like a diplomat. But it's true. Most of us would want to live a mark. We want to achieve certain things before our time is up. So for me, it's making sure that I maximize of my opportunities and my chances and use my skills, my talent, my environment to make a positive impact because it could be negative but I would prefer a positive impact. Actually even speaking of having a positive impact, that also means growth for you. What's your growth goal? Why do you want to reach? I don't want to be a failure. I want to say, I'm not afraid of it. I want to be a submarine. Wow! What? Anyway, do I? I don't like that question because I feel it's a very, it's like a limiting question for me. And as much as it's good to have a certain structure and a certain, I feel it limits me from doing anything and everything. I don't have a tip-top goal. For me, it's just as long as I am happy, I am at peace and people around me are okay. That's my main enemy.  Travels due to what and what anywhere. Mauritia. Yes, really hung up with the who's and who's. Sometimes that's just not enough. There are people who have experienced that and still do not have a deeper inner peace. So what's the point? Spoken like a true philosopher. I'm like, hey, who have I become? Hey, I'm matured. You read books a lot? I do read novels, but little bit, it's lacking. I'm trying, currently I'm reading Daniel Steele. Steele, The Star. Yes. I have no idea. It's an old book. Any TV show that you are currently watching? Movies and everything? I recently watched Extraction 2. It's good. I had not watched one so someone told me let's watch it. Wait, you skipped one? Yes, now I want to watch one. But I didn't feel like I missed a big part of the story. I didn't feel like I missed, but I'm going to now watch one. A local show I'm watching, I'm watching Second Family, Showmax. I like it. I like comedies, like Friends. I usually replay old ninis. I'm a Friends person. And if you do not watch Friends, you're not my friend. Are you my friend? What? You were too? I didn't feel like I missed a big part of the story. So speaking of Extraction, when I watch it, it's a thriller action. Yes, action. It's super action. When I watch it, you see, with that, I need to train. That's all you need to train. I didn't feel like I missed a big part of the story. But why not? Why not? It is possible. We said, atu jilimit. Atu mimi naweza? Yes, atu ho naweza. Wa, wa, wa. Na sila menefani, kuna stunt menefani na zile mungumungum. Why not do your own stunts? Why not? Ataku nama, kuna wana venefani na danza. Eh, by the way, the DJ was lit. I was like, hey, the psych is tipped up. A good way to start the day. Suji pigi ma kufi. Pipipipipipipi. Alright. So, babe, today we were talking about Gen Z. Yeah. The last couple of weeks, there have been issues with relationships between the younger generation. And the way they are reacting to them has not been in a mature or rather the way the other generations react to certain situations. So, Tepata, they are fighting, they are exposing each other online and there are very intimate conversations that are exposing. Even when they are fighting, they are also recording, posting them on social media, also very intimate. What's your comment on Generation Z regarding two relationship issues? First of all, I come in peace Gen Z. Hey, those guys. Ota kuji ya. One of the cubisah. Anyway, but hey, their tolerance level is, it's like a very thin line. Like, don't cross this line. And it's admirable, but also at the same time, it could cost them a lot, because it's just a matter of understanding someone. Probably someone didn't offend you intentionally. It was just miscalculated or something. But I also like the fact that they will not skip it. Like, they just move on. I like that they will address it then and I'm gonna say their truth. And now that's your problem. It's a you problem. It's not a me problem kind of thing. Unfortunately now, or fortunately, I don't know how to put it, with social media, everyone now uses that as a channel for everything. Although rather, sometimes you should keep things to yourself, because you don't know what people and the intentions are for you. And others do it for kiki and relevance. That's the other thing. It's just, eh, maybe you do it. Impressions and engagements. So about numbers, it's all about who likes me and if you don't like me, it's a problem now. It's because, I feel it's because of technology, because it's with us and it's almost in every part of our lives. And now, it can be misused. It can be misused. It can. But there are people who know their way around it and that's good. That's actually solid advice. You have been watching hashtag Social Friday. We are with faith and I just like you to give a moment to mention your social media handles again. Oh yes. Yes. I can give money follow. Thanks. So my Instagram handle is faith kibathi or actually you pronounce it as kifahi if you're kikuyu. The B is an F. It's written as a B but pronounced as an F. So usually I just say kibathi but it's it's supposed to be kifahi. K-I-B-A-T-H-I you can just search that name everywhere and those are my handles for Facebook for TikTok. We can interact there. Yes. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for having me. This was a lovely conversation. I loved the conversation. Thank you. All right. Now we are going to take a short break and when we are coming back we still have one more surprise. She loves my surprises image. So Rajizu kuredi kutupelek ala futurudi. Osawa.
