Welcome to Nationly Tuesday, I'm Richmond Felix, here are our leads. A new lawyer opens with warnings that climate change is having an impact on the judicial system. Event planners experience the island's offerings with the launch of a niche market. Farmers to benefit from incentives earn through a registration program. Rewards for the top-performing offsprings of the Ministry of Agriculture. Today the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court comments its new lawyer, with the Chief Justice calling on the governments and people of the Eastern Caribbean to embrace the concept of resilience against the realities of climate change. Dame Justice Vera's address to the special sitting of the Court centered on the threats that climate change has unleashed on the justice system. In fact, Tuesday, September 18 marked one year since the passage of Hurricane Maria, which wrecked havoc in the region, especially on the Commonwealth of Dominica. The Chief Justice told the legal fraternity that the judicial system is yet to recover from the effects of the storm that left courthouses destroyed and forced the relocation of prisoners. Such catastrophic events, she indicated, impede the delivery of justice. The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court comments the new lawyer, 2018-2019, with its usual ceremonial opening in the form of a special sitting of the Court. There were simultaneous special sittings in the nine member states and territories of the OECS. Chief Justice, her Ladyship, Dame Janice Pereira, delivered the opening address from St. Christopher and Nevis where the Court of Appeal is scheduled for its first sitting in the new law year. There, she highlighted the various challenges faced by the courts both internally and externally. The biggest challenges were those posed by natural disasters, namely, Hurricanes Irma and Maria. These two Hurricanes, according to her Ladyship, Dame Pereira, devastated the course of law and justice by rendering majority of the courts and prisons to name a few non-existent. Not discounting the damage done, she noted that some countries have yet to get back on their feet. She commenced with the plight of Anguilla, which was hit by Hurricane Irma on the 6th of September, 2017. The Court facility was forced to remain closed for several weeks whilst repairs were made and utility services restored. This physical interruption, though, did not prevent the hearing of urgent applications by telephone and video link as soon as telecommunications were restored by the direct routing of hearings to a judge located in St. Lucia. Full appeal hearings were also conducted in person and via video link from St. Lucia. Today, the Court's facilities are once more fully functional and were first to resume full operations after the storm. The Virgin Islands. The territory of the Virgin Islands received the brunt of Hurricane Irma as the eye passed directly over Tortola on the 6th of September, 2017. It caused the catastrophic damage to the territory, which is still in the process of recovering. Court infrastructure was severely damaged, judges and some court staff were rendered homeless, and all operations of the courts came to a halt. A breakdown of law and order threatened. The State of St. Lucia provided early refuge. One of the immediate measures put in place was the temporary relocation of the commercial division of the High Court, a critical component of that territory's financial sector to the State of St. Lucia where the court headquarters is based. The Chief Judge expressed gratitude to St. Lucia for its swiftness in coming to the aid of its sister countries. She highlighted that events spoke volumes to the need for paperless judiciary as a means of building resilience. Hence, the theme for the opening of the lawyer's address is challenges, opportunities and resilience, the ECSC paving the way to a modern and efficient judiciary for the Eastern Caribbean. She added that the court continues to work assiduously in the hopes of improving the quality of justice. Among the many targets for the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court is the sentencing guidelines and the state of buildings which house courts throughout the OECS territories. Over the years, I and Chief Justices before me have repeatedly spoken of and pleaded for the urgent need for governments to give some priority to and provide adequate court facilities. Fifty-one years on since the establishment of this court, little, if anything, has been done. Courtrooms are still housed in ill-suited buildings which have posed attendant security and health risks to court users and occupiers. Whilst courtroom closures are understandable following the passage of hurricanes and the like, it is unacceptable that court users and occupiers have been consistently placed in harm's way in respect of their health and security. This year, we have experienced the closure of the criminal court facilities in St. Lucia for security reasons and the closure of all courthouses in Grenada for health reasons. These failures pose a real threat to access to justice and the delivery of justice. The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court was established in 1967 by the West Indies Associated States Supreme Court Order No. 223 of 1967. The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court is a superior court of record for the organization of the Eastern Caribbean states, including six independent states, Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Neves, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and three British Overseas Territories, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands and Montserrat. It has unlimited jurisdiction in each member state. From the Government Information Service, I am General Norvel. The St. Lucia Tourism Authority has hosted the first major initiative promoting St. Lucia as a destination for meetings, incentives, conferences and events. Over a dozen meetings and event planners were flown to St. Lucia to learn more about the island and demonstrate why they should consider holding meetings and conferences here. Jacques Hingston Compton has a closer look at the outcome of this initiative. It was a festive Friday evening at Tapas on the Bay and these meeting and event planners were just beginning to get a Friday night feel for the destination. So they here, all of them, we have 14 of them. Everybody's first time to St. Lucia. It's a couple of them, first time to the Caribbean. So they're looking for new places for their companies to introduce new destinations and they're looking at and all of them have groups for 2019, 2020, 2022 because they plan a bus almost a year in advance. So they had to experience the destination to see what St. Lucia has to offer for their clients. This is my first visit to St. Lucia when I got the invitation to apply for the post-mice fam. I jumped on the opportunity and I wanted to come see what it was all about and how I could promote it and sell it to my clients. This familiarization trip is also intended as a networking opportunity for destination management companies and hotels selling vacation and incentive packages to large corporations in the United States and Canada. We have people from Utah. We have some from Arizona. We have Tennessee. We have Illinois. We have Georgia. We have somebody from Montreal as well and somebody from Massachusetts, from the Washington DC system all over the U.S. When it comes to selling to my clients, I think the first thing we see is just the beautiful, wonderful personalities. The gorgeous weather, the fantastic scenery and that's really what it's all about. It's about those experiences that you don't get to have at home. It's just the simplicity of the island actually is what really is just most amazing to me. Increasingly, corporations are seeking exotic destinations to hold conferences and meetings. Some are considered rewards for teams that have performed outstandingly. The meeting planners will network and experience for themselves the island's hospitality, sites and attractions and the quality of conference facilities. They're also having fun. Being able to come here and enjoy it firsthand and being able to see the destination from top to bottom has been great because we've been able to experience it and being able to go back and explain everything that we've seen and everything that we've done. The SLTA says some of these meeting planners are finalizing itineraries for 2019-2020 and the St. Lucia is included. Having experienced the destination firsthand, they are in a better position to develop more unique programs and to boost the advantage of direct contact with local industry players. Reporting from the Government Information Service, I am Jacking some content. This is Nation Beat. Coming up, introducing motivational interviewing techniques for key populations and farmers to benefit from incentives earned through a new registration program. The Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, Empowerment, Youth Development, Sports, Culture and the Local Government will be conducting the annual review for all public assistance clients and disability clients island-wide. The reviews will be held during the period September 17th to September 27th, 2018 at the respective welfare offices.

and Consume Organic A message from Rye St Lucia and the Ministry of Sustainable Development with funding from the GEF Small Grants Program UNDP The Ministry of Health and Wellness with support of stakeholders is working toward creating an environment that encourages voluntary disclosure by key populations in St Lucia to improve communication technique Clint Simon has more Based on the recent population size estimate survey groups such as men who have sex with men transgender and female sex workers are very reluctant to disclose their sexual behaviors to family, friends and health professionals disclosure and concealment of sexual orientation or involvement in sex work is closely associated with factors such as stigma confidentiality and social support gaining a better understanding in the OECS of how best to facilitate disclosure while protecting medical confidentiality is a critical task if the subregion is to achieve the 1990 target set by UN AIDS to help end the AIDS epidemic In this regard the Department of Health and Wellness in collaboration with the OECS HIV-TB elimination project United and Strong UN Vulnerable Communities Coalition and the University of Alabama undertook a pilot initiative referred to as motivational interviewing to better understand and address key population disclosure in St Lucia a two-day workshop was facilitated by contact flex coach Maurice Burles of Behavior Change Consulting This guiding style of motivational interviewing was the key because they felt like we were partners we felt like we were on the same page and that's what they're learning here Okay, we've been doing so many things already but partnership is the key and really being in there and understanding their perspective and coming from especially coming from the same culture Bennett Charles, Communication and Advocacy Officer with United and Strong Inc expounded on the benefits of this training Till that motivational interview I think it's going to cover a sisters in a number of ways we've done two major research pieces in the Caribbean recently but more the OECS the Barrier Survey and the PSE Survey really showed how clients thought about the services one they thought that the services are very rigid and very autonomous and the services are not very engaging and so what the MI is going to do one it will assist nurses and other healthcare professionals in being able to have a more client centered approach in terms of how we engage the clients how we get information from the clients it will be more conversational so clients will be more open the other thing, if clients are more open they will be more willing to at least one if they have issues of the medication they will be able to speak to you a lot easier so it will encourage adherence and will also encourage disclosure and so hoping this training will equip the participants with the necessary skills to allow the clients themselves to be more open to be more engaged and really at the end of the day they will be able to have retain more people into care because that's one of the big issues it is hoped that a more comprehensive package of services will be offered to clients in Saint Lucia stemming from this partnership with the CVC the University of Alabama and behavior change consulting among other partners the workshop commenced September 13 at the pastoral center in Maricel for the Ministry of Health and Wellness Glenn Simon reporting to improve the planning of production will have the spin-off effect of producing valued incentives for the participants Anissa Antoine tells us more is essential to the success of the project it is the national farmer registration program and it entails the registration of all the farmers on the island be it crop farmers livestock or fisheries farmers the registration program will entail getting all the farmers to give us some sort of detail on themselves the registration process will assist in the planning of projects aimed at improving farming practices reason for the farmer registration is for it will assist both the farmer and it will assist the ministry it will assist the ministry in our planning we need to plan, have programs and projects and we need that data and that information to properly plan some of these programs so we know what we have how many cuckoo farmers cattle farmers and programs that we could put in place to assist them and also to help the farmers to access some of the incentives and concessions to be approved farmers need to be a citizen of St. Lucia must be actively involved in farming and must be able to submit data on crop or livestock production with valid identification registration will also facilitate the farmer's access to the market and enable him to be automatically considered for concessions and incentives from the government information service I am Anisia Antoine reporting speaking of agriculture and benefits corporate citizen digital has again provided support to the staff at the ministry of agriculture each year the telecoms company rewards the children of staff members who excel at the common entrance examination I want to encourage you to continue to work hard to strive for the top there is always room at the top in other words there is always going to be opportunity for persons who work hard ok whilst many persons have difficulty securing employment and getting ahead in life for those of you who do exceedingly well you won't have as much difficulty so there is always room at the top and I encourage you to continue to strive to get to the top continue the good work what you have done so far is just the beginning when students do well at school not only do they benefit in terms of getting good jobs and so on and so forth but also the country benefits because the country needs smart well educated citizens to help it develop the best and most challenging and interesting jobs are always reserved for the persons who are smartest, brightest who have the skills and the capacity I'd like to congratulate you guys on your success you guys are going to secondary school now it's a serious thing I would like to encourage each and every one of you to reach for the stars and work hard don't get distracted because you're at secondary school and you've succeeded and don't let what you're seeing around you take your eyes on your goal at the end of five years I believe you need to actually complete it successfully so aim for that and that's how we wrap up Nation Beat Tuesday on behalf of the entire production team I'm Richmond Felix


was dancing. Yeah I was just a little. How's it going? Can you hear me? I can hear you. Lynette and John is here. Oh hi guys. They've been here a while. I know they were chatting when I popped in here about 10 minutes ago. Janine I'm not sure who M homequist is. Nice the name.  They were. They were talking about hometowns and some lineage Irish lineage lineages. Kathy had a good question about let's see where did that go. She wanted to know if adding dates to the guest challenge counts and I said of course because we're not really keeping score. Yeah I wasn't saying that to be a smart alec. I just this is kind of an informal challenge that we do so we don't really keep track of things but it you know the more profiles you guys can find dates for the better and it improves improves the database. So yes yes it counts. Julie you do keep track of some things right. I do. Well we keep. You know me. Well we can't actually I kind of piggyback on to what a lush has because he you know through the data doctor reporting he does four of our error or suggestions 131 to 132 133 134 which all address profiles that don't have dates either no dates on the entire family or no dates on a profile but maybe dates on the connected profiles. So he keeps he keeps account of what's out there and so yeah I do kind of watch those statistics. I'm gonna make a confession. I didn't get those updated this week. So what's on the space page is not up to date but I'll try and get that done this afternoon. I am the only one home right now and my dog wants in. I can still hear you and talk to you though. Let's see who else is here. Hello. It's always about the dogs isn't it. Dogs and food. Your dogs always show up. I know. And one way or the other. Last week or last time we think we talked about dog training. Yes and my my grand dog Charlie and his buttons. Yeah so so yeah it's it's been a very busy week in my household. People coming and going and including myself I've been out and about a lot this week and I just didn't get to prepare for Friday date night like I would like I wish I could. So I don't really have a fun little slideshow or anything. So that's not as much fun but I do have I had an idea. I wondered if you guys knew about the index for the surname pages. Have you ever seen that? I think so. Okay if I'm talking if you're talking about what I'm thinking about. Okay well first I'll put up a let's see here I've got I made a little banner. So if you go to that URL you will find let me go over and share my screen. You will find that page. I don't know if anybody's ever seen this before. Is that what you were thinking about Katie? No I was thinking about when you click on a surname. Oh yeah. List everybody. That's not that's not the same. Okay so what happens when you click on one of those links? Well if you go up as you can see it this is like just the A page or part of the A page. So this just gives you an index of all of the names that we have on wiki tree. There's some weird ones look at this. So obviously this is not this isn't entered correctly. Yeah. Yeah so and actually it could be entered correctly. I haven't taken a look at the profile but this is I like to dig around in here sometimes and just see what's out there because sometimes you'll find profiles that like this had the surname entered incorrectly and you can contact the profile manager or maybe the the the project that it should be associated with and help get that fixed. Now if you don't have any experience with that don't worry about it. Somebody will fix it at some point. It's not it's probably not connected to anything and it's not going to hurt anybody if it's sitting out there. But at some point it should be fixed or addressed and we can get that squared away. I love digging around in the surname index because you just never know. Wait okay click on click on a surname. I want to see. Okay so yeah so let's go here and the ones that are linked actually will take you to the surname page. The ones that are not linked are just one I believe it's just a single profile. Yeah I think so or like less than yeah number. So here's I'm going to say a chart a chart. So if I click on that and come over here I can sort by birth and I see that there are two profiles here that don't have any dates on them. Hold on hold on your your your sping froze. Ah no no. Oh you know why? Well that was silly of me. Hold on let me go back to my screen sharing. Let me go to it's because I only shared a tab. That was silly. Oh here I'll just do my whole screen. We're gonna get the the tube of infinity. Oh here it goes. Here we go. Okay so I'll do that again. So here's the index page. I started here and I clicked on a chart. I can close that which brought up this list and then I can go to that page or that list and this you're very familiar with I'm sure. Well up for a surname anyway. So as you can see we can sort by birth and then it makes it very obvious which ones don't have a birth date or any date in it. So cool. Yeah so then if I go to Joseph's profile. I see he's got a couple of links in here. I'm not sure what that is. Oh they've just linked to his own profile. That's okay. People are still learning and we see that he was married in 1836 so it would be pretty easy to estimate a date as long as we think he she's his first wife or you know you can start digging and do a little research. She doesn't have any dates on her profile either. So this is another fun way if you're a wiki tree nerdy person like me to find profiles to work on. I find it to be rather entertaining to go in hearing to this. There was a question. Oh yes. What's the difference between green and black links in the list here in this list. I believe that so like you see here there's only one profile here and for some reason we don't link to the surname list. I don't know why I I don't have the answer to that but let's see what happens. Yeah there's only one profile for that and I don't know why those aren't linked. I would need to find somebody who knows more than I do to answer that question. But you can always get to the link by just copying the name and putting it into the search box up here. So I'm not okay. No not the black ones are not ones you already clicked on in this situation. Correct correct. I was looking at the chat. Yeah I can zoom in too. Does that help. So like I've clicked on this one because it's blue. This is an unusual name. But like a char isn't linked right. Right. I don't know and I can find out. I don't have an answer for why those aren't linked. Oh maybe it's because of the privacy settings. We have unlisted and red and I really shouldn't be logged in on my account when I'm doing stuff like this. So I could have something to do with that. Let's try this one and see if that holds true. This is one of those things I've never asked about. Interesting. It doesn't even show. So I'm not sure. There's a question. I'll write it down and I'll find out. So that's what I can do. So guys in the, or not guys, everybody in the chat. Has anybody else seen that before? Has anybody ever used that? The genealogy listing. No it's just wikitree.com slash genealogy and you can get to that page with all the surnames listed. It's interesting that it's slash genealogy and not slash surnames. I know. Well I think it's because if you go to, here let me, I'm not sharing anymore. Let me go back here and share again. So for example, if I wanted to do my surname I could go to, and it's going to take me to the genealogy page for that surname. So I think that's why it's in that, it's not really, I guess that's not really the namespace but that subdirectory or whatever we want to call it. So that's why if you take the surname out and press enter, you'll get back to the index. That's neat. Yeah, I thought it was cool. There's so many different surnames. Yeah, so there's so many different ways to find information on wikitree. So I always recommend exploring as much as you can. I like to just go up sometimes and go to the little menus on the top that just kind of start playing with stuff up there because you just never know what you'll find. Yeah. And stuff's being added. You know people, people write apps through the app, the app app's project and sometimes they get added to the menus. So sometimes new toys show up there and they're so much fun. Yeah, and Lynette says in so many ways to spell them. That could be good though if you are not sure on somebody's surname, you can go on that and see which surnames are very close but not quite. Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, that's a really good idea. If you know how it starts, you might be able to find something. I just thought of that for one of my husband's family. I'm not exactly sure the spelling because I only have like one record and it's kind of hard to read. Yes, and then there's always the creative spellings in the census listings. Yeah, it's always a joy. Yeah, that's why I'm thinking that. Yeah, I know. Has anybody ever found anything that kind of cracked you up when you figured out what the real spelling was? I found some phonetically spelled things. I went, well, no wonder nobody can find these people. Right, yeah. I'm making myself a note about that page to find out why only some of them are linked. Hi Pip. Hi Pip. He says he'll see a new member with what he thinks is unusual only to find out there's like thousands of them. I do that when I'm rangering. I like to look at all the different surnames that go past. Yeah, that really unusual sounding surname. It's not real often that you run across one where you see that the person is the first profile, you know, profile number one for a surname that doesn't happen very often anymore. Or well, when I add dash ones, I'm like, did I spell this right? Did I make an error somewhere? Yeah, that's a good thing to look for. Yep. Yep. Absolutely. And I know the greeters sometimes when they notice a dash one, they'll they'll say, Oh, did this person enter their name wrong? Because sometimes people will and you know, they'll type over or whatever. And you're like, Oh, you can fix it. So that's cool. I don't know. What else do we want to talk about today? I didn't I don't have stats. I'm interested to hear what kinds of things you guys are curious about. Don't add don't ask me wiki tree plus questions, though. I love to use wiki tree plus, but I am not an expert. So you guys could probably teach me a few things. Katie, can you teach me things about wiki tree plus? Probably. What is the same thing?  Yeah, I've been trying to carve out some time to, you know, to just clear out some of the stuff in the wiki tree admin category that you guys use. And I can't I haven't even been able to do that for a couple weeks. So I got a few names out of there this week. But that's about it. Summer, things will slow down. Yeah, it's colder. Maybe maybe I'm going to Arizona for the winter. Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. Well, that's the plan right now. We're hoping Loretta, I don't know if unsourced profile numbers are coming down. But you know, we're all we're always we have a number of efforts that address unsourced profiles. We have number one, this effort, our dates effort, because you can't add dates without adding sources. So the suffer, we have the connectors that add sources, we have the sorcerers who add sources. And of course, our source of fun is coming up. Can you believe that's almost here already? No. I think registration is going to open soon. I couldn't believe it. Yeah. Where's the summer gone? And then it's it's in October, right? So it's like a month and change out. Yeah. Yep. Yep. So one of the things about unsourced profiles that I would like to talk about here, let's go to the help page. I know I'm not sharing right now, but I will in just a second. Let's see. So on wiki tree, we talk about sources a lot because we do want people to add sources. There's a couple of things about that, though, that we need to all remember a lot of times people who come here, especially since we're free. A lot of times this might be a new genealogists first. That's a lot of S's there. First stop. So they're still learning. Some people don't understand what we mean when we say we want a source. So, you know, a lot of times we see things like family search.org. Not realizing that's like saying I found it in a book at the library. So, you know, we need to help people that are entering stuff like that because they probably just don't realize that they need to be more specific. So if you see a member doing that, just be nice and say it's very helpful. When you find a record on family search, they tell them about the citation that they can copy from the bottom because that's a lot of a lot of times that's the place where people start because it's easy to find records there. So that might be their first experience with a repository. So just, you know, help people out. Show them what they can do and what is helpful to the next person who might be looking at the profile. Because there's two things that I always think about. Number one, they might be brand new to genealogy. Number two, they come into Wiki Tree and it's a little overwhelming at first. And they don't know what we're looking for. So let's help them. Let's tell them how to add a citation and where to find it or how to put one together. And then explain how, you know, a lot of people show up here not thinking about the implication of working on a single family tree. You're not just working for yourself. You're putting information in that anybody needs to be able to understand when they look at a profile. So most people get here and they don't, that just doesn't click, you know, because most people have either been working by themselves on their desktop computer with like, what is the name of the roots magic. Thank you, roots magic, which I've never used. And they're not they've jot stuff down.  So they need to understand that it really helps a genealogist who come along later to not only say, it came from the death record, but to say what was on the death record. Like, it had their parents names and, and they their parents names were this, it had where they lived, it had their wife's name, or you know, who was the informant on the death record, tell us who that was. So, you know, they they need to our newer members that have not worked on a single family tree before, get an opportunity to learn how to improve their genealogy skills, because they have to write it so that anybody can understand, you know, what they found. So just be helpful to people. That's the, you know, a couple of things that I always think of when I think of new members coming in. And then we have pit needs to be nice. Pip be nice. I thought Pip was always nice. Oh, apparently not. He has always nice to me. Wait, what did he say? He said, even if I want to slap. Yes, I must be nice. It can get frustrating when you deal with the same thing over and over and over again. So just take a breath and walk away. Yeah, don't we do D. W. W. A. And Pip does that. I know he's always nice. So yeah. So let me I'm going to show you guys our sources FAQ. That's here. Can you see that? Did it work? Yeah. Okay. So our sources FAQ talks about what we call a source here on wiki tree. Basically, it's where did you find the information? Did you get a drawn a hand drawn tree from your great Aunt Martha? Did she give that to you? Put that down. Yes, I have a I have an unsourced family tree from great Aunt Martha. And it says this, and it's totally okay to create a profile from an unsourced tree from from Grandma Martha, great, great Aunt Martha, whatever, because that's where you got the information. Now your job after you enter that is to not only say that's where you got it from. But now you get the opportunity to start working and collaborating with the rest of the community and finding whether or not great Aunt Martha got her dates right.  So yeah, you can enter a profile and say, I have an unsourced family tree. And that's how I know what I entered right here. And and everybody else who's watching this person put this information in just needs to be okay with that, and give them time to continue their research. Because most people don't come here with a fully developed tree and fully sourced profiles. So let's just give them time. Offer to help them. So yeah, so our unsourced profiles, we have them. And it's just the nature of the kind of work that's done here. And it's okay. Please add sources as you go and you find more information. No, Lynette, leave your cast iron skillet in the cabinet. I wasn't reading, reading comments. I was okay. I had it on a question for later when you when you get done. Don't go ahead. I'm done. I'm done pontificating. Ask away. Um, in home quiz asks, what are the top 25 names, family names based on on the landing page? I think it's the top 25 names that have had the most contributions for a period of time, probably for the week. Interesting. Like, yeah, I think I think I can't talk. I think it's updated weekly. Interesting. So yeah, so going back to Lynette's cast iron skillet. If you work in a collaborative environment like this, it takes a lot of patience. And if you're running out of patience, go do something else for a while. I do. I walk away sometimes. That I forgot something. I totally forgot my ranger ship today.  No, it happens. It happens. I've done that myself. I woke up and well, didn't wake up. But you know, like you're like running to the grocery store is like, we were at the pool and I just didn't think about it. It happens. Yeah, our rangers are very good at looking back over the schedule and seeing the when the last person logged in and it always gets covered. So we have we have some awesome people that are rangering. Speaking, speaking of that, all of our functional projects can always use more volunteers. So if any of you who are in our chat right now are interested in any of our functional projects and helping out for really just an hour a week, all of us can use them. I know Pip would welcome some more greeters. He'd be happy to have people volunteer to be greeters. So if anybody has an hour a week to spare, where it's it's not hard work, it's it's kind of fun. And the group that you get to work with is awesome. They're just like the nicest people on wiki tree. So come join them. How is it work? People think that the greeters are robots. I'm like, no, they're really Yeah, that happens. That happens a lot. Yeah. Well, we try to keep things consistent and standard, you know, so that people are getting kind of the same message every, you know, everybody gets the same information. So I can see where they might think that. But I remember when I first came on, I can't remember who greeted me.  I think it was Liz Shiflett. I can't remember. But but she posted a note and I thought, Wow, this is so cool. Somebody is actually glad that I'm here. Yeah, it was so cool. I was like, they noticed me. Yeah, they're paying attention. June says she's not ready to be a greeter yet. Are you sure June? Go talk to Pip. He might have a different opinion of that. What's up? I said Stephen got greeted by Pip. Oh, that's neat. The cool thing about being a greeter is that the main skill that you need to have is copy and paste. Because the other project members, if you get questions from a member that you don't know how to answer, you have a whole group of people to back you up in a Google group. So you can just come in there and say, Hey, I didn't know. And they'll find the answer for you. If somebody doesn't know it off the top of their head, they'll find the answer and then you'll know it for next time. Greeting is a lot of fun. It was my first project that I joined, I think. I enjoyed it. Cool people. Mags was my project leader then. Yeah, I've worked with her off and on for many, many years. Here, Leah. She's she's one of the people who thought it was a robot. Don't feel bad, Leah. You're not the only one. Yeah, it's it's cool that we have we still have life people greeting people coming in. We need more. It's been a it's been a summer of people, you know, their computers broke down. We've had a couple of people that got sick and had to leave. But they're, you know, they're just awesome people. They would welcome you with open arms into their project. So they're fun. And you get to hang out with Pep and David Selman. So, you know, why not be a greeter? And Pip really is nice. He's not gonna slap anybody. No. Oh, this is funny. We were joking about that the other day. It's like, we, you know, we couldn't get this person to respond because we'd asked them a question or something. I said, you know what? I think they just let's just live in the next county over. I'll just drive over there. I'm from wiki tree. Yeah, very personalized service. They probably be like, I'm calling the cop. Who are you? I'll show up with my let the sources decide t-shirt on laptop in one hand. Let me show you how to use wiki tree. Right here. Can we sit at your kitchen table? Like a missionary, a wiki tree missionary. Yes, exactly. Well, A01 came to visit me one time. And it was the weirdest thing because we're so used to talking to each other online. And here she was sitting at my kitchen table and we're like, still talking to each other on the computer? Did we do that? Probably at Roots Tech. We were roommates at Roots Tech. And I can't remember if we talked on the computer in the same room or not. Oh, I'm sure we must have. Even if just to be funny, you know, yeah, works. I know. Roots Tech is a lot of fun. I hope that I hope they do have it in person again at some point. But I don't think they will this coming year. Will they? Do they announce it yet? I know that they're doing what they did last year, but I didn't know if there's going to be an in person component. Yeah, less likely now, I would say. Unfortunately. I don't know. I hope that if they do go back to in person, though, that they keep at least some of the offerings online. Like, I mean, they always they always post some videos, right? But right, they post more of the videos because that was really nice. Yeah, yeah, I thought. Yeah, it's a it's a really neat experience. If they do start doing it in in person again, if anybody gets a chance to go, I highly recommend it. It's a lot of fun. It's just fun to meet these trees. Sorry. Oh, I just say it's fun to meet people that you talk to all the time face to face. Yeah. Yeah. Come to the wiki tree booth. There'll be a lot of familiar faces. Yeah. Yeah. And we're all usually kind of tired and punchy. Yeah. But it's fun. You can't miss us. We're in bright orange all of us. Yep. Pretty easy to find and we're we might be one of the louder booths. I don't know. Are we? Probably. We have fun at our booth. We don't. We do. We play music. Sarah sang the last time we were there. She did. She got on her mic and sang at people going past. Yep. Yeah. And let's see what else. Oh, we had some presentations going on. Manx did a good one. I ended up doing one. That's not my favorite thing to do. Presentations. We had Roberta Estes, right? Yes, good a good one. I was trying to think of who else I really liked. We do not have blueberry pie at the booth. No, we might have to change that. Yes, everyone so does. Yeah. And coffee. There's like lots of cups of coffee sitting around. We have to label them. Yeah. And then our booth was next to the candy pecan place. So it just made us continually hungry. They're and they have vanilla.  It was torture.  I finally broke down and went and got some. And then I think I can't remember why this happened, but a luscious daughter went and got me a big thing of popcorn. She's my best friend now. I love her. She's fun. She was trying to teach us all how to speak Slovenian. I could not get a turtle in Slovenian. Do you? Can you say it? I don't remember how to pronounce it really but I am terrible. Oh, Steven's got a good idea. Make fresh bread to draw them in. I don't think they'll let us wait. No, I think that they was wrong. They would they would charge us a lot of money to have an oven. I was just thinking they'd frown on that. They charged a lot of money for a trash can. So just thinking how much it would be for an oven. It's true. It's true. It's not cheap to go to a conference. Oh, Benjamin's here. Hi, Benjamin. I'm sorry. You might be interested in them. What is it? It's the profile improvement projects voyage. Is that what? Oh, Voyager. Yeah. Yeah, whatever they call that. Look up that. I don't know where the direct if I can bring it up. Yeah, she says she wants one on one help to tell me tweak my profiles. Here's the project page. Let me share. Can you see it? No, it's not added. Now we can. There we go. Here's profile improvement. Just come to their project page. Debbie, Kylie, as me, they can all help you or you can go to their post. Oh, there we go. Complete the profile improvement project voyage. It was on that other page. Yes, yes, right here. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. So I highly recommend that it will teach you everything you need to know about adding what what should you know, making a perfect profile. Perfect. Perfect. We always have room for improvement, don't we? Oh, and what's just doing the profile improvement project right now? Cool. Yeah, I go back to profiles I wrote in 2017 or 18. And I'm like, I have a different style now. I have to go back and re format. Yes. Yes, I'm I was I'm sure everybody was biting their tongue because I was using a way of sourcing profiles that is frowned upon now. Oh, I was using span tags. Oh, yeah. And we prefer not to do that now because it is a little it's it works great. But it's confusing for especially for people who aren't comfortable with adding like inline sources and stuff. It's it's just gets confusing. So don't do that. If you see any of my profiles and you see that span tags on them, just ignore them. I'm going to fix them. I'm going to write a comment. Julie, you better fix this now. It's okay. You can you can do that if you'd like. Oh, Lynette is very thankful to Julie. Oh, before maybe showing the profile improvement. Oh, good. Yay. That's what we're here for. I love our little every other Friday chats here where we get to just share fun things. Oh, span tag. Oh, thank you for using them or for removing them. Because now when I find the profiles I made with those in there, I take them out. So I hope that's what she's thinking before I can't put them back in. Some day I bet I don't know it's we always talk about getting like a or implementing somehow a WYSIWYG type editor, but that's such a huge undertaking. I don't even know where to start with that. So that's like on the pipe dream list. Is there a project for help finding sources? Well, Anne, I think I don't. Does the PIP project cover that the profile improvement project? Does the voyage cover sources? I know that they talk about sources and like yeah, sources and I don't know that they talk about where you can always ask in G2G like can I can I get some help finding sources for this person? And I see that you're in Texas, Anne. So I'm going to guess that you're in Texas based on your icon. If you go to the Texas project, we have that too. Let me bring that up. If I can type. A lot of times are project pages. Let me share that again. Here's the Texas project project colon Texas. A lot of our project pages have hints on where you can find our sources. Thank you. Or repositories. Oh, none of her ancestors are from Texas. Oh, well, that's just an example. We have a project for every state.  I'll go back over there. Like I can go to Project Illinois. If I could type Illinois, because that's where I am. There's the Illinois project. You can do that for any state. You can do that for pretty much any country. We don't I mean, we have most countries covered right now. Um, resources have a whole list of resources for Illinois research. You would be just so surprised to see what you can find on these project pages. I just highly recommend. And you can also go to the find menu in the upper right corner and click on find and then projects to look for a, you know, like a geographic location. And they will have oftentimes will have resources listed for research. The England project has something called an orphan trail, where they will take members through orphaned profiles and show them how to find sources for them. But that's very geared towards England or English profiles. I think the Scotland project is has a tartan trail. There's somebody there's another project that started a trail to you guys remind me I it's I'm I can't think of it off the top of my head. There's yeah, Scotland's and then I can't think of it either. I know that I've read about it somewhere. And then I wonder, hang on a second. Pip says Canada. Oh, yeah, I can't remember what they called theirs. Let's see, hang on a second here. And also, if you go to and if you got the tags for or the links for the tutorial pages, when you from your greeter, you should have gotten a link to go back here to this page, the new member how to category and it's got a number of tutorials on it. When you go in here and click on the first one, how to start climbing our tree. It first talks about how to create profiles and then how to add a source citation.  Root search is a tool that we use on wiki tree. That will allow you to search. Let me find a profile here. Yeah, somebody somebody have mentioned root search. Yeah, let me go to my watch list and I'll find a profile to look at and I'll show you what it looks like. It's it is very cool. Don't look at how many profiles I'm trying to get rid of them. I swear by Benjamin. By Benjamin. On obisigler. So any profile, you can if it's, you can either go to the profile menu here and find the research link. Or you can go down to the right hand side here and click on root search. And it will fill in that person's information for you here. I usually take out the country here just because it's gonna I'm going to go to family search from here. You can modify your list down here for what sites you want to use. I went into the I'll go back here I go I went into the more sites option. And there's a whole list of research sites that you can use you some of course you need to have a wiki tree on there if you want to. I think I think wiki tree. Yeah, it is. So you could yeah, you could search wiki tree for information because that would help you find duplicates. But there are of course some of these you need to have a subscription to some of them you don't. So my favorites, I always start by going to family search. And yes, I go to find a grave because there are hints there that can come in handy. So as you can see, it popped me into find a grave and it filled in this information. Usually you need to go in here and expand the date. Let's see what it would all and OB is not out there on find a grave. And then no, I wasn't signed in. Family search, it'll fill in whatever information was on the profile. And you can go through these and see if they apply. OB had, yeah, here's OB, the father of the bride. So yeah, that's a cool way to research. I hope that answered your question. I hope that helped anyway. Who asked that? That was Anne. Did we lose her? No, no, Anne followed up and said what's wrong with find a grave? Oh, well, it's just that it's just like any site where it's a user created, you know, memorials or profiles. Some people add sources and some people don't. So whatever information you get from there, you're going to want to verify with additional sources because a lot of times you'll find obituaries on there. And as we all know, obituaries aren't always right. Yeah. And so if you get a find a grave profile without a picture of the headstone or something, then people could be putting in whatever, you know, so you have to be careful. I've seen memorials for people who haven't died yet. Yeah. Probably shouldn't be doing those. But I've also, go ahead. No, I was just going to say use caution. Yeah. To try to find other sources. Yeah, it's just a good way to look for hints. And even the headstones don't always have the right information. Yep. Okay. She said that it did help. Oh, good. Yay. That's why we're here. Let's see. Loretta says correcting their date. They are the most. Well, and that's good and bad because you can send the memorial manager a request to change the information because you found something. I always send them a link to the source that I found to prove that I actually did find it. But it's, sometimes they just don't, they take your work for it. Yeah. So, I mean, it's good that they update stuff, but I usually try to provide them what I found and why I think what they have needs to be updated. So, oh yeah, Kathy has a good point. Sometimes the headstone will have the deceased spouse and that's usually helpful. So, but they're, you know, just like with anything, you have to be careful what you find out there. It's human beings putting information in. So, we all make mistakes. I just need to have a little grace about that. Oh, we're going to win an argument with Alessia's bots. It's hard to win arguments with Alessia in general. He always has the, he always has the answer. So, that's fine. I don't mind because he's usually right. So, I just depend on him to give me the right info. Oh, I do know sometimes it's frustrating because the memorial on Find a Grape will have a different date and then they get flagged as a suggestion and I'm like, nobody knows the real date. So, I'm not going to fix this. Yeah, yeah, it's, yeah, sometimes. And you know if you find stuff like that, put in a research note that says, Find a Grape says this. This document says that. We don't know for sure which one's right. So, you know, let's keep looking. That's, you know, that's one of the great things about Wikitra. I know that the, the interface can be a little hard to learn, you know, because you've got your free text area and it, you know, it's a little intimidating to put in line citations and learn the formatting code and all that. But it gives us so much freedom to put information in there and I don't, I'm not sure I've ever seen that anywhere else. I love research notes. Me too. I love, love them. Yeah. I think I chose Wikitree because I really like the free form text. Yeah, I like that you can tell a person's whole story there. I just, I love that so much. And I like, I like you can have the bio up here but then also underneath it research notes right like on the same page. So, people can be, can see what you have done as far as research and trying to clear up things. I agree, I agree. And it's just cool to be able to talk to each other that way to share your information that way. It's what makes us so collaborative is that we can share information back and forth so easily. But like I said, our new members need, we need to give them time and hold their hands sometimes. Hello, Mr. Katie. Just give them time to get acclimated and give them a helping hand. Don't do it for them. You know what I mean? You can leave them a note and say, here's how you can find that but don't, you know, teach a man to fish. I know it's hard, it's hard to not, you just want to step in and fix it and take over. Yeah and it's okay to do, you know, like ask them, can I show you an example of how to do that or another way to do that that's a little easier to read or do you mind if I show you how to put a source in here in line? You know, it's just have a conversation. I have, I still have people, I mean I've been on Wiki Tree since 2000, something, a long time ago. It's been close to 10 years now and I still talk to people that I met back in the day when I was still learning my way around and, you know, I still have buddies that I hang out with. Sure, let's see. Wait, what is Stephen saying? One of my relatives grave has newspaper articles of the person is not them so has my eyes open to finding the correct info. Cool. I don't know about the rest of you but I get a little obsessed with when I find a mistake somewhere else. I find myself submitting corrections to find a grave and now on Family Search you can sometimes edit the transcription of the record. I do that like it's kind of fun to be, to know that you're providing quality information. All right, well I've babbled on for, oh my gosh, almost an hour. Yeah, my hair is dried. I'm so sorry. Well I'm glad everybody stopped by. Oh, you're welcome Janine. I did that ages ago. I probably need to redo it because I'm not sure that it's a hundred percent up to date now. We've had some interface updates since then I think. But yeah, I just kind of threw that together. It's a little haphazard but I'm glad it helped. I think we might be able to put a better version of how to do things out there in the future. I hope so. It's something we'd like to do. Videos. It takes time. Yeah. The problem with videos, I love them because they, you know, to show somebody how to do something is always, it always works better than, you know, telling them how to do it through a health page. It's hard to do that on a wiki tree. It is. Yeah. But the problem with videos is that, you know, something changes. You have to redo the whole video for the most part. Yeah. So it makes kind of a big maintenance project but that doesn't mean we don't want to use them. We do. We think they're a really great teaching tool. So we'll find ways to make it work better. Julie, we know it's better than Netflix. That's hilarious, Pip. That is such a high compliment, Pip. That's really funny. Thank you. I'm buying it but thank you. And if, oh, okay. It's so funny. Well, I will let you all go. Come over to Discord and hop into the Friday date night channel. Say hello. If you don't know how to get to Discord, go to the wiki tree help page for Discord. It's help colon discord. So come on over. It's a lot of fun people. We've not a ton of people are there on Fridays but everybody pops in and talks about what they're doing or, you know, what they're eating. Yeah. So come on over and we'll let you go. I can't believe we did a whole hour here. Thank you, Katie, for helping. I think my longest livestream. I know. I know. I appreciate it. Then I'm not just babbling on it myself. I know. It's awkward. It is awkward. All right, you guys. We will see you in two weeks for Friday date night. Thanks for coming by and we'll talk to you later. Bye.


Vulnerability is me being on my own journey of discovery and evolution whilst I'm also helping you with yours Rather than I've arrived and I know the answers and I'm communicating as if you're lower than me and further down than me is not Vulnerable and so many communicators don't do that They want to come across so clear and so thought-through and so binary and right or wrong It doesn't make me feel comfortable Experience them as not one of us Experience them as complete as having arrived as having nothing more to learn and I'd feel that's not true of me I have so much to learn as I'm sat there So if I'm listening to someone that is not communicating with some healthy sense of Uncertainty and doubt and still figuring stuff out or leaving me to figure it out even if they have To say I'm thinking this I've found this. I don't know what you're all feeling It's the language vulnerability is in the very language that we use that isn't deduct


What's up everyone today is Monday November 2nd at 8 14 a.m I'm gonna do a video watch this thing So for those that don't know I do a free video watch list every single Monday for the viewers on YouTube and every single day Or every other day I try to do it for the members Lately not really many people have been watching these which makes me discouraged to do them So I mean if you guys don't want to watch them then that means I probably shouldn't have to be doing them So I don't know what I'm gonna keep doing with these video watch this But in the meantime, I'm guess I'm just gonna do less and less as less people watch it And you know, how can I be encouraged to keep doing these and taking my time to do them when no one really gives a shit about it So anyway, let's start And PC this one looks kind of the most broken pre-market. So if I basically just draw my lines here I'll kind of see 480s So this is what I see so far on this stock, right? This is what I see. I see it's broken pre-market, right? Broken pre-market VWAP is around 440 which is kind of close to that 450 half-dollar mark So looking for a morning bounce towards 440 450 for an entry Looking to add around 460 looking to add around 470 Pretty much this one. I think it's gonna be broken. I think it's gonna stay broken So if it kind of breaks under this line of 415 Then I'm gonna look to short you know 430 440 450 Because at that point it would be broken in my eyes that I don't think it's gonna bounce to 460 470 480 So it depends on what it does in the morning if it just tanks looking to short 430 440 450 If it just goes straight up 450 460 470. So that's that one The LRX I've been trading a little bit pre-market if you look at the chart you can see there is resistance So previous support Access resistance which acts as resistance. So you can see the 250 line is very key, but yesterday I mean on Friday 2 30s and 2 40s were very key, which is kind of lining up again today 230s 240s so in the morning I took a short 230 added to the winner when support broke covered here And now that it's under VWAP again Shorted some here with a plant at 230 240 250 in the morning This is not one that I would chase weakness rather waiting for pops on it DBVT is right here as you could see this is a death line set up So I have my death line drawn and all I'm waiting for is it to break that death line And I will short it if it bounces in the morning. I will draw my lines So if it bounces in the morning, we'll short a bounce towards this level here 280 290 and stop out above 3 Let's see what it does. I think this is gonna be a death line break, but we'll wait and see and ISIG not really much meat on the bone So not really too interested if this pops big maybe but not really in love with it today I'm gonna do a YouTube live recap of my month made about a hundred twenty thousand dollars in October So we're gonna recap that today and yeah, that's basically it guys So what I want to do at the end these videos is to make sure that you guys watch it till the very end So I do like a secret word. So the secret word today is gonna be pen So comment that on the bottom of the video so I know that you watched it and that's basically it guys I will see you in the room and let's have a great day


Hi there Freedom Family, welcome to my brand new show, the KOIC Nullified. And my name is Null and on this show we will be talking about YouTube's policies and of course we will be continuing on the success of the George show, which is the KOIC series. Are you excited? Of course you are. Let's go! I will be your guide when it comes to YouTube's rules and policies and on this show we will be including topics like copyright, nudity or sexual content, harmful or violent videos and of course a lot more. To start things off, Ayana please drop my title. Welcome to the rule of thumb where in this segment we will be discussing about YouTube's rules and policies that will keep you away from the dark side and prepare you for your quest to become a successful YouTuber. In today's episode we will be discussing what copyright is and in order to do that we ask YouTube what they understand about copyright. So here it is. In many countries when a person creates an original work that is fixed in a physical medium they automatically own copyright to the work. As a copyright owner they have the exclusive rights to use the work. Most of the time only the copyright owner can say whether someone else has permission to use the work. If you think about it this is kind of vague. So we ask Google what they understand about copyright. Here it is. Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. This is usually only for a limited time. The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law including fair use. Now that sounds about right but you gotta ask what are these original works? We went back and asked YouTube. YouTube has given us examples that can be classified as an original work that is protected under the copyright law. So let's take a look. These original works are audio visual works such as TV shows, movies and online videos. And recordings and musical compositions. Written works such as lectures, articles, books and musical compositions. Visual works such as paintings, posters and advertisements. Video games and computer software. Dramatic works such as plays and musicals. Basically to break it down your original works are protected by the copyright law and as a copyright owner of that original work you have the exclusive right to use it. If other people want to use your work you can either allow them or reject them. Also you can claim back your original work if other people are using it without your consent. You have the power. Now there are a few questions you are asking yourself right now. How can I use copyright content in my videos without violating this rule? Well, YouTube has stated that there are a few circumstances that do not infringe copyrighted content one of which is if the content can be argued under fair use and the other one is just by simply asking permission from the original content owner. That's it. We will be tackling fair use on a different episode because that is a whole other topic so stay tuned every week for the KYC notified. Now, what if I put a disclaimer on my video stating that I do not own this content? Would that still be an infringement of the copyright law? Is there a magic word I can use so that I can use other people's content? To be completely honest I wish there was a magic law that grants you full immunity. But the reality is, YouTube does not have this kind of influence. Let's take a look on what they have to say about it. Your videos can still be claimed by a copyright owner, even if you have given credit to the copyright owner, refrained from monetizing the infringing video, noticed similar videos that appear on YouTube, purchased the content on iTunes, a CD or DVD, recorded the content yourself from TV, a movie theater, or the radio, stated that no copyright infringement is intended. So to recap on what we have discussed, copyright is a legal right granted exclusively to the owner of an original work. These original works are but are not limited to audiovisual works, sound recordings or musical compositions, written works, visual works, computer games and computer softwares and dramatic works. How can I use copyrighted material without infringement? You can simply ask permission from the original content owner, vocal permission is good, it's better if you have a written documentation for it. A written documentation stating that you are allowed to use those videos comes in handy when those videos get flagged, and the other one is fair use. If you want to stay ahead of the competition and know what fair use is, the links will be down below. Alright guys, I hope you enjoyed and learned something from The Rule of Thumb because the next segment is, know your channel, the Nulled Edition. This KYC edition will be reviewing channels that tears or violates the policies that we have discussed on The Rule of Thumb. So let's jump right in! Alright, our first channel is the Tuning Dose. What's up bro, I hope you're doing great. From the looks of your channel, it seems that you really really like cars and car shows. Great, so let's take a look into your videos. This footage is from a car show in Tokyo back in 2015, and as you can see in the video title it says, Tokyo Auto Salon 2015, featuring a really pretty lady. Safe to say this channel is a collective of car footages from different content creators. Let's take a look on a different video. In the video that we flashed, it is the compilation of pet owners filming their pets doing the play dead trick. As we have discussed, copyright content can only be used by the original content creator. If you want to use other people's content, you can simply just ask permission from them, or make sure that the content can be argued under fair use. In this case, if you have written documentation that you are allowed to use all of these content, awesome. But if not, these content cannot be argued under fair use. Why? Because these videos are basically re-uploads from other content creators, and you have a video stating that you have a compilation of pet owners filming their pets. I'm sorry tooting those, but I have to rate your channel as... at risk. Okay, let's move on to our next partner, JJ McCullough. Hey bro, I'm sorry if I said your name wrong, and I hope you're doing great. His channel is mostly about trivia and weird facts. So let's take a look into his videos. This is an example of content that can be argued under fair use. He used a tiny portion of the copyrighted material, and he mixed it with his own commentary. Let's take a look into another video. In this scene, or the entire video, he was talking about the popular shows that Canadians love to watch. JJ McCullough, you did a good job in using these content as examples, mixing in your commentary, and relating these content into your own original video. I will say that this channel is... notified.

Our freedom partners will be more than happy to assist you with that. And also, I will be there, so see you there. Also, you can go into our Discord server and get your channel reviewed by this guy, Jord. Alright guys, that concludes the episode. My name is Nold, and you are watching KYC Noldified. See ya!


Hello, my name is Anne Haworth and today I want to share a simple mathematical starting point with you. In the classroom I have found it can be productive to start with something simple that everyone can get engaged with and then build on it to explore and develop some mathematical ideas. Maybe have simple starting points of your own that you use in this way. So to start off today's activity I invite you to think of a pair of numbers that add up to six. Now think of another pair and another. I wonder what your first thoughts were and what number pairs you thought of? What pairs of numbers do you think your students would suggest? How many pairs of numbers are there? I invite you to pause and think about that question and about what the responses may be in the classroom. Will your students see the infinite possibilities both with the numbers between 0 and 6 and with the numbers outside that range? If not, how can you help them to do so? Pause and think what questions you could ask. Perhaps you thought of some questions like these. If one of the numbers is three and a half what's the other one? If one of the numbers is 2.1 what's the other one? If one of the numbers is nine three-quarters what's the other one? If one of the numbers is a thousand what's the other one? If I give you a number can you always find another one so that the total is 6? If so how do you do it? What is the biggest number you can use? What is the smallest? Can you find pairs where both numbers are positive or both negative or one of each? To me it seems magical that you can go infinitely far in either direction getting some useful practice with directive numbers as you go and you can dig infinitely into the numbers between 0 and 6 and learn more about decimals and fractions. Who was it that said every mathematics lesson should include a glimpse of infinity? These activities provide the opportunity to practice working with numbers while scaling understanding of mathematical structures. I like practice to be embedded in real mathematics whenever possible. Pause and think where you would want to take this now in your classroom. I'm going to step into the spatial world by using the pairs of numbers as coordinates and plotting them on x y axes. Think how you would want to do this. Would you want each student plotting their own points? Would you want a class plot maybe on the interactive wired board? Or maybe you'd want to do it as a people mass activity. And how will you cope with the fact that any axes you draw will not accommodate all the number pairs students have thought of? So what do we get when we plot these points? It's another bit of mathematical magic. All the points line a straight line. You can connect them up with the ruler. Pause and think how you know that all the points line a straight line. Can you explain it to yourself? Can you convince others? This straight line has two important properties I'd like to emphasize. First of all, every point whose coordinates add up to 6 lies on this line. And the line consists of every possible such point, even the ones nobody had thought of. And some points people chose that won't fit on these particular axes are nevertheless part of that same line. The fact that we cannot mark them on these particular axes is a matter of practicality, not mathematics. They are all part of the line. The line that we physically draw is just a representation of the perfect mathematical line containing all these infinities of points. I think it's important to provide opportunities for students to explore and appreciate such ideas. I wonder if you agree? Where on the line are the pairs that were chosen earlier? Where are the pairs with both coordinates positive, for example, or one negative and one positive? And why are there none with both coordinates negative? What happens to the y-coordinates as the x-coordinates get bigger? Why? We can, of course, now use the line to solve the problem posed earlier, finding the second number in the pair given the first, or finding the first number given the second. A useful introduction to solving equations graphically, linked with the numerical work already done. An equation of this straight line? Well, of course, because the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate add up to 6, it's x plus y equals 6. The symbolic representation follows the words, and the same thing will happen with other straight line graphs. So now we have several different representations of this mathematics. The list of pairs of points, the line itself, and now this equation, which, of course, we could write in other forms, such as y equals 6 minus x, for different purposes. So perhaps now we could try to draw the graph of x plus y equals 9, say. What's the same and what's different compared with x plus y equals 6? What about x plus y equals negative 6? Or x plus y equals 0? What other lines are in this set? And can you plot such lines without having to list the points first? How? What other questions could you ask? That's as far as I'm going to take this activity with you today, but I hope you can see some ways forward. So to finish, I'd like to set you two tasks. First, the question I mentioned earlier, where could we take this work now? What would you want to do with it? Second, think about other simple starting points that you could use to lead to mathematical exploration and development in your classes. Have you got some that you use already? Or can you think of some new ones to try? And thank you all very much for watching.


Well, it's February, so that means it's time to head out to the lake and enjoy the Eelpout Festival in Walker. For this week's community spotlight, Haiti Clotter shows us what this weekend is all about. Eelpout. Eelpout 2017. The 38th annual International Eelpout Festival reeled several people to leech lake in Walker on Saturday. A festival that usually brings in more than 10,000 people saw about 45,000 due to vehicle weight restrictions, according to Eelpout event organizer Jared Olson. I mean, we had warmer weather, obviously, the week before, which, you know, hurt some of the landings and stuff like that, but now everything's really hard and it's, as you can see, my breath. It's cold out now. Not everyone comes out just for the Eelpout. It's about having a good time since Travis D. Domenis of Farmington, Minnesota. He was enjoying the atmosphere and even went for a helicopter ride. If we're going to be honest, it's not so much a fishing tournament as it is just kind of a party atmosphere, but it's fun, you know, we keep it, keep it pretty real here. There's plenty of Eelpout to go around if that's your thing. If there was anything I could eat, it would be a pote every year. I've never been to a place more barbaric and fun. This is everything I've ever dreamed of. It's like WeFest, but better. I don't like WeFest. I like Eelpout. Keeping that with tradition, you're supposed to kiss the fish. Our very own Justin Prince got in on the action, too. A lot of people will take them and eat them, or we have them frying in the tent right now also, so everybody likes to try the fish and just taste it. It's a little fishy, gamey tasting, but, you know, it's the Eelpout Festival, so we're eating it. Todd and Troy Thoma drove in from Minneapolis and used the weekend to bond as brothers. We have a cabin in Hackensack, so it's convenient to come up here, and we've been coming up here since the 80s, so it's always a good time to see friends, have a good time with crazy people. The festival also offers something to the community. It's a big part of the community here. I mean, obviously February, not a lot's going on in Northern Minnesota when you're standing on two feet of ice, so I think everybody really appreciates it and likes it, and I hope they all do well this weekend. Until next year, for this week's Community Spotlight, M. Walker, Katie Clutter, Lakeland News.

UUID or take a file ID to a case ID and things like that. So you have flexibility with working with other, so you don't have to get all of your data from our package, although you should, because it makes it pretty easy. But if you have some existing data and you want to translate some IDs, you could use our tools. For example, if you're getting data from the Genomic Data Commons, you may have some filenames, so if we run that, let's do Library Genomic Data Commons, and then run that again. So you may want to use Genomic Data Commons if you're interested in the newer harmonization that the GDC provides, and this will allow you to take the filename that you've downloaded and then convert these filenames into TCGA IDs, file IDs and sample IDs. So these are just utilities when working with the different sources of data for TCGA. And then, how are we on time? I think we're okay. All right, so I'll go over how to subset, which is an important operation when working with your data. So if you have like a couple of genes of interest, you could divide all of your assays by those genes in using this bracket subsetting operation. So there, you can see there are two commas here. So before the first comma corresponds to the rows, the second spot in between the two commas correspond to the columns or the call data, and the third spot or the rightmost spot here would correspond to the assays themselves. So here we are subsetting by the features across all of the experiments. So if all of your experiments are annotated by genes, you can simply do an operation like that. Well, first you have to load data and then subset by those genes. So it will only give you back the data that had those hits across all of those experiments. And if it doesn't have a hit, it'll just send you a data set with zero rows because those genes were not found in that data. And then if you have a phenotype variable or a clinical variable of interest, and maybe you only want to analyze stage four cases, you could use that to subset. So you do mini-ACC dollar sign, pathologic stage equals equals stage four. And then put that in between those two commas which correspond to either the call data or the column names, depending on the type of input. But here we're dividing our call data. And now we'll get a smaller mini-ACC where you have only 15 samples. And we can look at the call data. Let's assign this. We'll do call data on this. So now you see that we have a call data with 18 rows. So there are only about 18 patients who had a stage four ACC present. So it allows you to divide your data. And if you do divide by the call data, all of these samples automatically get updated based on what patients are left with observations across all of those assays. So it saves you a lot of time because otherwise you'd have to go through each of your assays and divide, figure out what patient has a sample in this assay and then remove that if they don't. And so it takes a long time. But here you can just do it in a simple one-liner here. And then lastly here, if you want to only extract, for example, one assay from the multi-assay experiment, you can do that and it will give you only the one that you wanted or that you're interested in.  And if you do complete cases in the ACC, this will give you a logical vector of the column row names or call data row names or the patients that have data across all of the assays. So it gives you a nice way to be able to filter out if you're only interested in, say, maybe you have two assays that you're interested in and you want to look at patients that have information in those two assays, then you can do these complete cases and only analyze those patients that have information in those assays. So it makes it really easy to identify those and then subset based on that criteria. So I think that's, I'll open it up to questions now and maybe point you to the other vignettes that we have on the page here. So we have the small vignette for the studies, a summary of the studies, the reference vignette for curated TCGA data. So you can see a nice table of all the cancer types and a TCGA utility cheat sheet for what does what within the package. So feel free to pose any questions or email me. You can find me on GitHub as link-ny or on the Bioconductor Slack channel as well. And I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have. I know I went through a lot of stuff and so feel free to ask questions. Actually, thank you so much for this talk. And it is really great information, but so much information. So I do not have like right of a question, but certainly I'm working on TCGA data sets. So when working when I have a questions, I shall just reach out to you. Yeah, yeah, you can reach out to me and make use of these cheat sheets. They give you a nice summary of what's what functions we we've worked on. And if you don't see something that we've that you want and and you want present in the package, we can also accommodate that as well. So we're very responsive to issues on GitHub and questions on the support site. So yeah, feel free to reach out. Thank you so much. Thank you. Any questions online?


So where are we going in 2021? We have another developer academy coming up between March, April, and May of this year. It is going to be, again, fully online and, again, split into two parts. We have a little bit more of a formal structure for this academy. It's inspired by the one we piloted last year. Now we're extending it a little bit more. And we're also going to be expanding it to two different tracks. So we have both the web track for development of applications on the web in a browser, as well as an Android track for development of custom Android applications based on the Android SDK and how to extend DHS2 in that way. Those will be taking place at the same time. There will be some sessions between those two tracks that are shared. But the developers will split off into people that are working on web applications and people that are working on Android applications. We have a number of high level goals for 2021 and beyond as well for these initiatives. I highlighted three of them here, but mainly they are to strengthen the developer community. I mentioned this already, and Deborah will expand on it in just a minute. But the idea is that we want to have shorter communication gaps between the core team that's developing tools and developing DHS2 core and people that are really stretching the limits of that platform and wanting to extend it and tailor it for their specific use cases. So building that community, allowing people to share resources amongst themselves, share success stories and challenges that are encountered as people are developing applications throughout the ecosystem. And in doing that development of community for developers of DHS2 applications, we also hope to continue to support local innovation. So that's not only developing a community, fostering communication and some feedback from that community to see how we can improve our developer tooling, but also to work directly with some of those innovations to increase the effectiveness of DHS2 in particularly important use cases, so things like COVID-19 vaccination and other local innovation hotspots. So with that, again, talking about how you can help, how we can continue to increase the collaboration between the core team and the broader community. If you have local innovations that you're working on, whether or not they're on the DHS2 application platform, I encourage you to reach out to the core team, to myself, to any of the other people on this call, and share what you're working on so that we can see how we can better help you and maybe how we can make connections with other people in the community that are working on similar things so that we can all improve together. And that brings us to the third point here, which is to grow the ecosystem of generic DHS2 applications. We have an application hub where there are a number of applications ongoing that are published that can be installed into any DHS2 instance and we're making some significant overhauls and improvements to the interface and the infrastructure for the app hub and how those apps are distributed to DHS2 instances. In order to facilitate more sharing of high quality applications, being able to determine the maintenance structure or the sustainability of applications that are on that app hub and be able to test them across larger numbers of DHS2 instances so that we can have a growing library and ecosystem of community developed applications for DHS2 in many different instances.


What's up guys and welcome to yet another episode of Buzz with Stars right here on SPM Buzz. My good name is Miski Finchi and I am hanging out with a star. Before I introduce him, please make sure you subscribe to SPM Buzz. He was just ready to introduce himself. Pascal, how are you? I'm good, how are you? Well, you know, I'm a very chilled guy, I don't know where you had it. Wow, he's such an actor, he's just gotten into in a character right now. Congratulations. So, on what? On being a good actor? On being a better actor than Biko? We want to do this Pascal. Hi, how are you? Kelele Merudi? Yes, I was about to say sexy. Okay, let me ask you Pascal, five years later, season final, how does it feel? It's hot and cold. I'm sad it's ending but I'm happy a new chapter is about to begin. What was your favorite moment about shooting this Selina the entire time? Every single day. Come on. No, I'm serious every single day. As an actor you want opportunities and Selina gave me five years worth of an opportunity and I'm grateful I've met so many amazing talents, I've worked with amazing talents, I've interacted with amazing people, I've learned, I've bounced off of people, I get to meet you, I get to meet the crew. So, it's beautiful.  How was that scene and how was it, you know, executing that particular character? It was tough because we were shooting in a day I'd change characters like three or four times but it takes, I love what I do and I think that really helped because if you love doing something then it becomes easier so changing the characters it became easier for me. Yeah and it was challenging, I love challenges.  Eh, nili saafa, nili saafa but it's preparation just in case wukumuju saafa have been there.  Congratulations you're just about to be a dad, has been the journey from you know month one and now we I bet we are almost there. It's good, it's challenging but it's good I'm ready for the challenge I'm ready to be called Baba, I'm ready to be pooped on, vomited on, mentally prepared Just in case Ali ni mpepe iton alale, it was either preton or chlorophyll so Let me ask you what kind of a dad do you think you're going to be? Good one No, no, no everyone says they are good. Do you think you're going to spoil your child? I will but I've I've seen how spoiled people are when they grow up so it's it's it's going to be moderate I'll teach, I'll definitely spoil her but I'll teach her the basics of life so that I'll give her what I didn't get but at the same time I will show her how to be a good person and the baby will have an amazing mother, so Grace is a beautiful and amazing mother and I'm sure our baby will learn a lot from her I mean I would also like to know and I'm sure your fans want to know who do you think is going to be the tough parent between you and Grace?  Forever Yes, I mean forever forever as compared to Kitambo What is that one character you saw in her and you said this is going to be my wife? She is beautiful inside and out, she is kind Let's just say she is someone I've Here's the thing, I never thought that I'd settle down but I met Grace and the first day I met her I proposed Wait, no wait That's a story for another day, yes Are you serious? So I can't explain the connection, I can't explain how it was but I met her the first day and I was like It happens And it did happen for you That is why it was unexpected Do you know people are like, oh my goodness This is Pascal and Grace I don't know What do you think about what Edgobar does? I'll pass So Pascal, where is your comment? I mind my own Yes What if he minds yours? I let him, if he wants to It's okay I don't want to talk about this No problem, we passed that Now Pascal is a musician I mean besides acting We've seen your music, you do very good music your vocals are at the top Now there is Ezekel Mutua Who was in film, now he is in music Yes We went to an event So we were signing the book Yes And then I signed first It looked to me like this is how it's supposed to be done And then he signed, I was like Okay, this is the sign that should be put on book Well, yeah, I don't know We'll see what it's going to do How may I make some rules? Not yet, but I don't know if it's going to work So what are your expectations And what would you actually like from him as an artist? To be honest, I feel like guys don't get what they're worth You find musicians are releasing music Day in, day out But they're not getting what they're supposed to be Because it's their worth And I hope that he's going to really work on that Because there's an amazing talent out there It should pay well But why isn't it paying well now? I think it should root out everything that's been happening around Because I hate that question But then you find some musicians out there Are really making money through music So I hope that he really focuses on that So that every people know that Yes, it's a career, it's a proper career If your child wanted to be an artist Would you support them? Of course, yeah Of course he's going to have the Upper hand Because I will definitely help him or her My dad gave me the leeway to do anything that I wanted to do And I will do the same for my kid And look at you now It's from the support of your parents that you're here today That's really good now As we wind up Paskaw Let me allow me to bring this story back You saw the president on the road Him walking, you know you trended We go way back We are sorry, people say that was a plan On the road I'll leave it to the imagination What I know What I did that day Really put our ratings up And I'm glad that almost everyone in Kenya Got a glimpse of how Selena is And speaking of that Oo, Ona Selena Now you see, of course I wasn't showing you guys my boobs Okay, it was Ona Selena Now Paskaw, people had so many reactions You know what you told the president Some were saying, you know You get to tear, you get corruption You get to sidek I mean, so what was going through your mind When you saw those comments Nothing, oh when I was going Like I said, I mind my own I am very, in this industry you have skin Mind your own, guys will talk You'll create something Guys will talk You'll find guys who will absolutely love your project And some guys who are You know there's criticism There's positive criticism, there's negative You learn to just Listen And ah, I don't know, I just mind my own I need sumbuangi Hey, that's really good I mean now, chike Malizia Paskaw Mese mahi marakama tano What next for you, now that you know I don't like Saying it out to the public I just love seeing guys watching it And we have a lot of projects coming through And I'm hoping that The same way Selena was received These other projects will be Received as well
